You actually miss nothing with a locked bootloader unless you can enter recovery download mode selector with power and volume down combo!

Please help,

PS: S1Tool LOG: http://pastebin.com/XSDQ2iVf
if your loader version is with a small 'r' then your bootloader is unlock if it 'R' then it's still lock ..if i'm not mistaken
EDIT : use S1Tool to and choose Identify ..again and post your loader version
22-02-2012 11:16:27 LOADER VERSION: "r4A069" It's unlocked right?
yup ..it's unlock ..you can try flash kernel to test it ..
If it goes wrong can I undo?
If I can how?
if it's still lock the log will show up error
if you success ..there will be no error
please read carefully before you want to flash kernel because not many support lww ..if you want to flash back to stock kernel ..just flash back
you can read this for more info

Yes, it only shows the battery charging animation...
And if I remove my finger when the SE logo is brighter it goes to CWM!

You might be holding the wrong button if it goes to CWM.
I hold Up button!
You don't turn the phone on, just hold the button down(Volume up/down, varies with phones) and insert the cable.

Hello good.
Then it means that you can unlock the way fastmode, but then what would be the solution? I overheard that the first is to alter the code of the company X to unlock the fastmode, but anyone knows of that formula? Thank you.

You can always make sure by entering the software upgrade mode.
By switching off the phone, pressing vol+ and connecting usb.
The bootloader status will be shown at the top of the screen.

How to unlock bootloader without using volume buttons?

Decided to flash Lineage OS, but my bootloader is locked. Phone is rooted, but volume up won't work in fastboot. That's a typical behavior for this phone, as you can see:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-blade/general/zte-blade-l3-lollipop-5-0-2-root-t3238315
So my question is: How to unlock bootloader WITHOUT using volume keys?
Anyone?
There must be a way.
Nobody knows?

My phone realme 1 is not going into fastboot mode when the powerbutton and volume-down button are pressed together. Instead it is going into recovery mode. What should i do to get it to fastboot mode
It's vol up and power button

After unlocking bootloader, you can enter fastboot mode. Means if bootloader is locked then you can enter only recovery.
you can go to fastboot mode by pressing Vol Down and Power Button but it needs the bootloader unlocked. so, first unlock that

Yes, after unlocking Bootloader or after applying in Deep Test apk you can enter FastBoot mode. Without unlocking bl there is no way to access fastboot mode. Only recovery is accessible.
By the way he is not new. He is developing ROMs for this device.

Well, Who tf tries to go to fastboot mode without unlocking bootloader in the first place?and I'm not a new member. I'm one of the lead developers of Realme mt6771 development team. You can go ahead and see at github.com/CPH1859 and github.com/RMX1831 . I'm saying the fact, if a person is trying to go to bootloader and he hasn't unlocked it, call him a new member. Its just Common sense. You can't open a door without unlocking it.
