My android device CPU is MT6592 (8xARM Cortex –A7@1664 MHz) with instruction set 32-bit ARMv7. Board and product is ht1_107a_iball_mjk. Apart from this, Codename is REL, Internal Memory is 16GB and RAM is 2GB. I did root and un-root my device multiple times. I see connected device through **adb devices command**. After **adb reboot bootloader** and **fastboot oem unlock**, I confirmed on android device by pressing Volume Up key but there is no change on device screen and computer screen even after 30 min. I changed USB cable and USB port. However, there is no change. Therefore, I am not able to unlock its boot-loader. After **adb reboot bootloader** and **fastboot flash recovery twrp.img**, I found No TWRP or other Custom Recovery images are compatible for my device. Therefore, I am not able to install Custom ROM as well. I tried all above procedures multiple times and with multiple ways. However, at the end I am with Stock ROM (Android 4.4.4). And only two processes I can do successfully; rooting and un-rooting. In such scenario, may my device be hard bricked, if I continue above processes multiple times forcefully?

Many different root-only actions involve mounting and editing files in the Android /system directory. Because there have been so many types of Android OSes, rooting techniques, and actual root solutions from the last decade, it has made it difficult to confidently determine if this is possible with my current root solution: Magisk with locked bootloader. From my understanding, Magisk is a completely "systemless" root solution, so by simply disabling Magisk and rebooting, *all actions performed as root are reverted.* This is important for me because I have verified boot with a locked bootloader via [avbroot](https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot/) , so if there is any change to the system partition then it will fail to boot and the device will be bricked. So, with Magisk, is there a specific module that is required in order to "write" to the system partition systemlessly, so that it's not actually changing anything in the real system directory? Or does Magisk do this by default, and all I have to do is make my file edits from a shell like ADB root or Termux su, and they will be applied systemlessly?

I want to root a HUAWEI Y9 Prime 2019 (STK-L21) for my pentest and malware analysis endeavours. I hear that unlocking the bootloader is a pain, and almost impossible (especially for broke students) Has anyone done it successfully? How did you go about the bootloader unlock?

I have Samsung Galaxy M11 (SM-M115F/DS). I want to install TWRP in it. But I can't unlock the bootloader or go to download mode. I already enabled OEM Unlock. I saw on some sites that on this device I have to press both volumes up and down to go to download mode or unlock the bootloader but actually, nothing happens. It only goes to recovery mode with power and volume up. There it has a "Reboot to Bootloader" option. When I go there, I get this When I give the options to start, I return to recovery mode.

I want to unlock the bootloader of my Moto X4 running Android 9 and get the unlock code. My computer is a Linux Mint Ideapad 3 (so should have USB-3 ports (referring to this post )). My device gets displayed when I type fastboot devices However, none of the 3 USB ports give me a response when I type fastboot oem get_unlock_data nor does the command finish. The bootloader logs say on the phone cmd: oem get_unlock_data. "**Allow bootloader get unlocked**" is enabled in developer options, and so is USB debugging. I need the unlock data to request on the Motorola page the unlock key.

Just under a year ago, I changed carriers due to carrier unlock policies. The provider I switched to I was able to get the Pixel 7 Pro on a payment plan (2 years). With it being a Pixel, I thought at the time all Pixels were OEM unlockable. Man was I wrong, not only am I stuck paying off this phone for 2 years, but without carrier unlock first that can't happen. I know in every other device that If I issued a certain adb disable command, it bypassed that. Is there not something similar I can do to get OEM unlock without carrier unlock? Any help is much appreciated.

I can't seem to find this information anywhere. I'm not quite sure if "Bootloader unlock" is ignoring secure boot or if it's ignoring Android Verified Boot. For the sake of convenience, let us discuss using Qualcomm SoCs. In Qualcomm design, PBL, XBL, and some others would need to be verified by a certificate chain, where the root cert is verified by a fused hash value. Source: https://www.qualcomm.com/content/dam/qcomm-martech/dm-assets/documents/secure-boot-and-image-authentication-version_final.pdf Because the image is about secure boot in general and not necessarily in the perspective of Android, if we want to discuss with Android, the "OS Bootloader" would be the Android bootloader (ABL). From the Android bootloader, the Android verifies the boot partitions with dm-verity. Which of these does the bootloader unlock ignore? 1. Verification of XBL, QTEE, ABL, etc that are verified with the fused root hash 2. Verification of boot images that the are verified by the Android bootloader I would assume the use of fastboot only affects the ABL and thus the answer would be #2, but I can't find an answer to confirm this. Are there any documents or books that explain this in detail?

I'm facing some challenges with unlocking the bootloader of my Vivo Y33S and could really use some assistance. I have tried a few methods, but I'm encountering two specific issues: The MTKclient software doesn't seem to work for bootloader unlocking on my Vivo Y33S. I've followed the instructions to enter in Brom mode, but it doesn't recognize my device or initiate the unlock process. When I use the Vivo Fastboot software and execute the commands fastboot vivo_bsp unlock_vivo or fastboot bbk unlock_vivo, I receive the following error messages:

FAILED (remote: Unrecognized command vivo_bsp unlock_vivo)
FAILED (remote: Unrecognized command bbk unlock_vivo)

I have verified that USB debugging and OEM unlocking are enabled on my device. I'm running stock firmware version PD2147GF_EX_A_38.13.0. I've also ensured that I have the latest drivers installed. Has anyone successfully unlocked the bootloader of the Vivo Y33S? If so, could you please share any alternative methods or potential solutions to overcome these challenges? Your insights and expertise would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help!

I've found numerous guides online on how to fix the missing OEM unlock toggle on Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960U) running Android 10. I've been able to follow all steps except for the last one before rebooting the phone. And that step is going into software update and unchecking ***download updates automatically*** and checking ***download updates manually***. The problem is that those options don't exist! I can only tap on ***Check for updates*** and there's a grayed-out option that says ***Continue update***. I don't know if this is true, but I think it's the same as going into developer options and switching off ***auto-update system***, which I was able to do. Either way, I still wasn't able to fix the missing button, even after following this guide I was just talking about. I've seen other guides and they talk about the same thing that this one does. Can someone help me unlock my OEM unlock button, please? --- As of now, I played around with my phone and found out the reboot to bootloader option in the menu after starting the phone with **power key + volume up + Bixby key**. I didn't know what that was going to do but when I selected that, a light blue screen came on and said downloading... do not turn off target. There's an option to cancel it, but I want to see what happens. Maybe I didn't have a bootloader at all? (sounds crazy because I need a bootloader to start my phone, so maybe it's downloading something else?). In either case, I'll keep this question posted with any new info.

My son has a Motorola Moto G73 5G (XT2237-2), always used it normally without trying to root it. So the bootloader has not been unlocked. It is stuck in a boot loop. I can boot into fastboot mode (by pressing power and volume down) and then into recovery, but I am not allowed to change anything. While the phone was still working properly we should of course have enabled Developer Options, Allow USB Debugging and Allow OEM Unlocking, but it is too late for those. Is there another way to get to the data before doing a reset? - If side-loading the firmware in recovery mode is possible, I guess that would wipe the data, but mounting in recovery mode (to save any content) does not seem to work. - I tried accessing the phone with fastboot and adb (from the linux prompt) and the phone recorded receiving the commands fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock, but then that was not allowed because we had not allowed unlocking from the Developer Options menu.

I've got a locked Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G (running the latest android 10 and patches) The phone is locked with a pattern (unknown) What are my chances of any data extraction with cellebrite or other forensics tools while I can not unlock the phone? Also how secure is Knox efuse? will it damage the phone/data when an untrusted bootloader is detected?

I want to revive an old HTC One M9 rotting in my grandmothers locker for some years. I would like to flash the phone with a custom ROM but unfortunately it is locked, so I can't access Android. However according to the HTC documentation to unlock the boot loader on has to enable developer options in Android settings first: > you will need to first manually enable OEM unlocking in Developer > options in order to allow the bootloader to be unlocked and proceed > with the next steps. Apparently without doing so it is not possible to get the identifier token which is needed to unlock the bootloader. fastboot oem get_identifier_token (bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp (bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock (bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off! OKAY [ 0.063s] Finished. Total time: 0.063s Is there any way to unbrick this phone? UPDATE: =========== As suggested in the comments I tried to flash > the original RUU ROM to restore a proper state I got it here: https://htcstockrom.com/htc-one-m9 The following steps are suggested: - Enter: fastboot oem rebootRUU - Now enter: fastboot flash zip update.zip - Once the installationis finished, reboot the device. However fastboot oem rebootRUU makes the device humming and blinking but does not lead to a status where I could successfully upload the file (same problem described here ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVG4kT-LiQQ&feature=emb_rel_end I can upload it in normal download mode but there I get: FAILED (remote: '9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL zip from usb command in download mode') fastboot: error: Command failed

I tried everything from every tutorial about how to unlock my Xiaomi Poco M3 bootloader. I enabled OEM unlock, etc, rebooted into fastboot mode, but then the phone is not recognized in the batch unlock tool provided by xiaomi at https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html Well, I found https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb where it lists this weird forum https://web.vip.miui.com/page/info/mio/mio/detail?postId=18464849&app_version=dev.20051 for the xiaomi, which contains a .rar file that when I install I get because the driver is not signed. I don't think I should disable driver signing on Windows, and I find this very weird. I also tried installing Android Studio and then google USB drivers through there, but I still don´t get the phone recognized on the miui unlock tool.

I tried unlocking the bootloader of my YU Yuphoria on Linux (Ubuntu 15.04). Here is the link to the CM page from where I got the instructions from. I followed all the steps mentioned on the page. When I use the following command fastboot -i 0x2a96 oem unlock However, this is the output that I'm getting.

...
OKAY [  0.001s] finished. total time: 0.001s

It does not show any kind of warning that the data on the phone will be erased. ADB and fastboot are detecting the device. Here is the output for fastboot -i 0x2A96 oem device-info

...

I tried flashing the recovery.img after that, but it does not work. What am I doing wrong?

I recently downgraded my Android on Moto G60 (I downloaded ROM from some websites) because my phone screen was sometimes not working which upon locking and unlocking the phone made the screen work again, so I thought downgrading might help. The phone was working fine until a few weeks ago when I had to restart the phone for some reason and the phone was showing that the bootloader was unlocked and the phone's sensitive data might be attacked if I didn't lock it. > No valid operating system could be found. > The device will not boot. > > For more information, visit our support forum: > support.motorola.com I watched a tutorial on YouTube and connected my phone to my PC and then proceeded to lock the bootloader. After that, I tried to restart my phone, but it didn't start anymore and it shows this on the screen. The recovery mode doesn't work and also I tried to unlock the bootloader once again but I couldn't. I tried to use Rescue and Smart Assistant, but it says "The connected device does not match the shipping software values expected and Rescue cannot run". I took my phone to a service center and they said that they couldn't help me. (P.S. My phone is not rooted)

I have a Redmi Note 3 (INDIAN VARIANT Kenzo/Snapdragon variant running on Marshmellow 6.0.1 with MIUI Global 10.2) on which I performed an bootloader unlocking procedure via the tool XiaoMiTool V2 from [xda](https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tool-miunlocktool-unlock-bootloader-t3782444) since the official method kept denying me for some reason I also want to let you know that during the procedure i left the *oem unlocking option disabled* and ran the tool So after the device's bootloader was unlocked (ss attached) I noticed that the OEM unlocking option was still active (meaning I can flip the button and it will just ask for the pass and warn me and enable the option: again ss attached) **So my question is is my device properly unlocked? OR Did I mess up with procedure ?** I know i could dial

*(which doesn't work in miui devices)* or using *fastboot method* [mentioned here](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/73567/how-to-check-if-your-bootloader-is-unlocked)- *but the problem is that my device's usb port is damaged in a way that charging works but MTP or any other option doesn't (Yeah I tried multiple usb cables, brought a brand new from official store and multiple devices)* or is there any app to do that ? **EDIT :** Okay now I tried by adjusting the chord into the port and running

getvar unlocked

(ss attached) Now what does this mean ? Is it still locked ? I would really thankful if someone can help

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of a MediaTek-based phone using mtkclient. Does it work with a virtual machine (Linux guest on Windows host)? Connecting to the host using USB cable, and enabling USB passthrough by selecting the device, didn't work for me. It seems that the device is recognized but a "handshake failed" error appears.
