is it also possible to disable the phone from entering flashmode on either locked or unlocked bootlaoder?
i dont want ppl to steal my phone and flash over it to use as their own ?
i mean how to disable flash using computer (eg. SEUS, flashtool) not disable recovery?
pls tell me. thx.
THIS IS BECAUSE X10 EVEN IF IT HAS LOCKSCREEN, WHEN U FLASH, NO MORE LOCKSCREEN
SO THERE IS NO PROTECTION.
my friend has xperia u or p or something.
he said he forgot his password and flashed and the password still remained -he managed to remember the password eventually
i am happy for him, but i wish x10 could do the same or else we have no protection from thieves.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DISABLE USB FLASHING? SO THAT X10 cant be flashed so that lockscreen cannot be hacked?
PLS HELP ME!! i am feeling insecure coz there have been recent stealing-cases in my workplace

Yes you can - destroy or better unsolder your usb port.
Jokes away. No dude, you cant prevent entering flash mode, because it is hardware dependent function. On almost every phone, you can delete all passwords and locks after reflash because all passws are stored in system files, which are overwritten after flash.
Yes, most older phones had hardware lock which wasnt possible to bypass with software flash, but its years ago and I dont know any phone that uses hw lock chip in last few years...
i wish android was like iOS, but android does not ask for password before you flash iOS needs password before u flash or u cant flash
THAT IS THE ONLY THING i like about iOS.
all the other features, iOS sucks. android rocks

Yes..avast anti virus has antitheft that installs to system and reloads thru a factory restore. Also can set it so you can lock down your interface, disable usb debug, and has to have password to uninstall and/or remove from device administrator list. Many other features, too many to list. Gps location, lock screen, forward calls and text to a different location, wipe feature, siren..etc
*Android is upgrading...*
Oh, and it will turn on your gps, force data to stay on so can locate and send commands, notify if battery dying during commands, is cyanogenmod flashproof if running one of their roms. Root install is best, but if unrooted will install update.zip to sdcard and you can lock the usb access do even if they try to reboot the update will reinstall

Know that, but remember that Avast! (and all of anti-theft apps) cant prevent flashing your phone. Even if you have xrecovery installed and do a factory reset and full wipe from it it unlocks the phone. And of course if you make a flash with flashtool it will surely unlock phone anytime.

But avast can disable the USB access and will install in system files and even has feature to make it flash proof if using cyanogenmod roms. If have a Sim..will detect if has been changed and notify you of new Sim info to start sending commands to
That's better than others

Yeah, it is better than others because IMEI sim detect and hidden anti-theft.
But, it can disable only usb debugging, which is not used for flashing. In flashmode only kernel and few native executables are loaded, but not android or dalvik machine itself. So you can enter flashmode and flash any rom even with avast installed, on xrecovery its the same, but after system wipe it should work also (but not sure...).
Anyway after flashtool flash it will format and overwrite whole system and nothing could prevent it.

Galaxy note atolen too
As a person who has had two phones stolen I can tell you one thing - there needs to be a password on the use of flashing.
First I had a galaxy note, which has Samsung locate. But hardware reset saw to that.
Second I had a CSL Spice, knowing about hardware reset, I set about finding an un resettable program. In comes avast (brilliant though it is).
Two criticisms, first is its method of retrieval. Sms. Yes, sms. The thief has thrown your sim card in a bush, but in order to remotely access your phone, avast smses your sim card. Classic. Try it, steal your own phone, or get a mate to, it's so tragic its funny. Go on, back up your apps, take out your sd card, and be your own thief.
Second issue, obviously is flashing. Avast hides on the partition, but this is wiped and remade based upon your new OS. Bye bye avast.
So really there are two key solutions: password protection on the flashing access. Set by the user, changeable only by those the user gives it to (engineers/new owners). And the other is set a hardware code like IMEI on accessing not just a phone network, but also Google Play registration, and Samsung /other apps registration. That way the code can be flagged by the owner.
Actually thirdly is an email address which appears upon failed flashing password attempts. To remind the thief that he can still take the brick of plastic and metal (and gps) back.
I'd like all new owners to be informed of what to do upon loosing their phone, codes to note down etc. As I feel this is not done enough. I'd love to start a push to get Samsung and other droid phones as well as Google Play to start this and maybe we can finally end phone theft.

This has been asked before (search)
No you cannot, only option is to break USB from phone lol
Sorry mate
Sent from my X10s 8.4 using xda premium
He just added info, we know that it was mentioned in other threads...
But, as Veruvir said - there is no solution how to prevent flashing device.

Hi! I have an (annoying) situation here, i recently bought a phone (bottom), the phone has been wiped of all apps, however, the last person (the seller) didn't do a FULL factory reset, so his Google account is still the primary.
I know you can remove the primary account via factory reset, but there seems to some sort of PIN/password, you dont need a pin/password to unlock the phone (from sleep), the screen asking for a pin also popes up when i tried to apply a lockscreen password
Ive emailed the seller already, but he takes a long time to respond, and i hate to wait.
i know theres specialized hardware like Riff-Box, but this phones waterproof and i dont want to break any seals
Ive also tried to do a root, but kentai/japanese phones have tight security with a small amount of hackers (link to root bellow)
Anyway, my question is that is there anyway to get that pin out of the phone/disable/remove it WITHOUT rooting or cracking the case open
eg software hacks
ive already tried the ADB methods, which require a root, and i have a copy of SDK with proper ADB drivers if anyone has any complex suggestions
Phone
-Sharp SH-06D [normal, NOT the NERV edition]
-internationally unlocked by DoCoMo
-running an unrooted 2.3.5 and (obviously) stock ROM

Every Sony user knows about "My Xperia" function of their Xperia Device. It's like the ‘Android Device Manager’,which helps to find,lock or wipe your device remotely if lost or stolen. But android devices can easily flashed. Sony devices can be flashed also. So, it does not work actually.

Here comes the best part from Sony.
Existing security solutions are usually a part of the Android operating system. This means, that by swapping the operating system the security feature or application is deleted.
My Xperia Theft protection is added to the bootloader of Xperia devices. The bootloader is needed to start the operating system of your device, and it is not part of the operating system itself. So if you delete the operating system, MXTP will stay active and your device will still be protected.

Which devices are supported?
Currently
• Xperia M4 Aqua
• Xperia C4
• Xperia Z4 Tablet
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What will trigger it?
• Performing a master reset.
• Performing a software repair using PCC or B4M (or third party flash tools).
• Deleting the Google account used for enabling MXTP.
• Trying to disable MXTP in the settings and failing to provide the correct login credentials 5 times.
• Trying to delete MXTP or removing the administration rights of MXTP.
• Triggering Lockdown using MyXperia in a web browser (with the correct login credentials).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What happens in Lockdown?
• All running applications are stopped.
• You can no longer maximize the notification panel.
• Incoming calls are sent to voicemail (if available).
• Outgoing calls (except emergency calls) are blocked.
• The USB port will only be available for charging. It will not be possible for a PC or Mac to detect the device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to exit Lockdown?
If lockdown was triggered you can unlock your Xperia device by authenticate as the valid owner of the device by signing in to the Google account which was used to activate My Xperia with Mobile Data or Wifi
Tap Authenticate in the lockdown screen > Enter the login credentials you used for sighing up for MXTP and tap Sign in > Wait until your account is validated.

More Details can be found on : MXTP Thread
So, you can say that Sony is the most secured android phone now. But wait...
***Here comes the Worst part***
At the time of writing this review
A lot of M4 Aqua users reported that, after 3 days of activating "My Xperia", upon reboot, the phone entered into Lockdown mode automatically. After providing the correct ID and Password the phone failed to Authenticate and remained in Lockdown mode making the phone paperweight.
It maybe due to their software bug as the function is afresh and need more testing and time to be fully perfect.
But the worst part is that, if it enters into Lockdown, you won't be able to flash it with flashtool to make your phone working again. Only Sony Customer Care can fix it. And if there is no customer care around you, you are screwed.

I managed to reset phone using companion tool and after that my username and password was validated. Just don't try to put password if it says invalid password. Reset phone and then enter your password. .. Temporary workaround. Expect Sony to provide bug fix soon

i bought this phone 2 weeks back. yesterday i swithed off my phone. after i switched on it i got struct with "Protected" interface.MXTP gave me the lockdown screen with the verify, wifi settings and emergency call options on it. So as I wanted to unlock my device i pressed the verify button and a log in screen for my google account appears. I use my google account on all kinds of different devices so I logged in. But here someting goes wrong.
When I typed in the username and password to verify it is my M4 it gave me a loading icon for 2 seconds and then it says "incorrect username and/or password" and my M4 stays locked. To double check if my password and username are correct i logged in to another adroid device and my laptop with no problems. So now I'm stuck with a brand new non working xperia M4.I have already tried to factory reset with sony pc companion.. but even after that the problem stands. in sony's website on a post the said that " as this MXTP is combined with boot loader even after factory reset the problem will remain". as im from srilanka i dont even have a service center. helpless at all.. if anyone know the way to get rid off this please help me..:crying::crying:

What a Fu***** Sh**
I have a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua dual sim and updated my android system yesterday up to lollipop. After this update the "my xperia theft protection" was automatically activated. I tried to log in with my gmail account and my password numerous times. I even tried to reboot the phone a couple of times. The password and gmail account were absolutely correct and I was able to log into my account on a PC without any problems. The "my xperia" app accessible via myxperia.sonymobile.com located my phone in the middle of nowhere and even deleting my data and reseting my phone did not work. The only fu***** thing that did work in the end was to repair and reset the phone via Sony PC Companion. How the fu** can you create such a fu****-up software? My Sony Xperia M4 Aqua was a piece of sh** and fu***** useless for a whole day until I figured out how to fix it and now all my personal data including pictures, videos and everything else is lost...... Thanks Sony! Big THANKS!
P.S: Sorry for all the stars! ****
Are you connected to internet? You must be connected via wifi before introducing the google password
El vive en la piña debajo del mar
Yes, of course I was connected to the internet. I even tried a couple of different WiFis just in case. All Wifi connections were fine, simply the MXTP function is totally ****ed. Well, customer service told me that I should send it in to Sony customer support (10 days). All my data would have been lost anyways. Data recovery would have to be payed by me. Well I suppose this is real customer service! :good:

It's a matter of authenticating My Xperia to Your Google Account. When you are in Google sign in page try to get help from the page by choosing "I know my user and password but I cannot sign in" after Google authenticate the program, you will be able to authenticate.
Hope this helps.
Hello.
I've got a new phone in my hands, which is named Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X (Snapdragon one).
As always I've tried to unlock it because stock roms just sucks.
I wasn't able to unlock my phone with Mi Unlock after getting a positive answer to verification via request (stuck on 99%). I've later found here, that this could be caused by trying to unlock my phone on stock rom, updated to MIUI 9.1.2.5 (9. something, not sure about last digits). So I've learned few things, mostly on xda-dev, as well as my homegrown page about xiaomi phones (mostly from this link -> https://miuipolska.pl/forum/topic/9218-odblokowywanie-bootloadera-w-urządzeniach-xiaomi-poradnik/).
Since I cannot put phone in adb fastboot edl mode (it's being seen by pc and adb, after the command it just reset itself, instead of staying in edl mode), Mi Flash does not work in 2018 (not sure why they drop it), I've decided to use fastboot mode and miflash.
Problem is when I enter the program, plug in my phone in default fastboot mode and start the work, after 3-5 sec I get error 0xffffffff with an option "flash all".
My rom (newest version of rom, taken from this link -> http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) is unpacked twice (to version with "images" folder), I've set it on my C:/ drive in catalogs without any blank spaces between the letters (these things made by clicking space button).
My phone is successfully connected with my mi account (I'm using it since I've got Mi Band2, so it is not so fresh).
My MiCloud synchro is online and up to date. I cannot make verification of that account, however (I'm not a bloody Chinese and I just do not understand their letters and language), but when I checked my account on PC, I've got 100 points (max) for security.
My phone, mail address and phone number are all known to our Chinese friends.
Debugging USB is also not a problem since I've double checked all of that.
I also tick the option for changing bootloader or OEM (somewhere over there in dev options). I even get extra permissions for debugging, that requires triple clicking "ok", due to the danger of being tricked by some skilled hax0rz.
I even deleted my extra security unlocking (both fingerprint and X letter made from dots) to make sure fastboot unlocking will work (this could have been the case in some...cases, as mentioned here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/bootloader-unlocked-99-stuck-progress-t3651303).
What else could I do to make sure my phone will be finally unlocked and rooted? I cannot do it with a locked phone, I cannot install TWRP on a locked phone (which prevents from getting root access). To get an unlocked phone, I need to install custom rom. To get a custom rom I need to install it via fastboot. Since I cannot do so, I'm stuck (if I understand it correctly).
I've checked *.txt file in a main rom folder, it's said "mido", and given version is 8.1.2.5 from 25th of January 2018.
Thank You for any kind of help, I've tried to download it for the second time (somehow, the names of the archives are different, but I'm not sure if that could be the case).
Also, this information might be needed – my phone is Redmi Note 4X 4/64, so I cannot use rom for 3+32GB, which is listed there also.

Thank You for any kind of help, I've tried to download it for the second time (somehow, the names of the archives are different, but I'm not sure if that could be the case).
Also, this information might be needed – my phone is Redmi Note 4X 4/64, so I cannot use rom for 3+32GB, which is listed there also.

How long has it been since you applied for permissions? I've had the same problem (stuck at 99%) but i casually waited. If it has been more than 3 weeks then try applying again. There isn't any workaround other than using mi unlock.
What do you mean that xiaomi dropped mi unlock?

I've been waiting for...24 hours? Maybe some more. At first, I even gave them a wrong model of my phone (lol), then I've tried for the second and third. For some reason, when I changed my Xiaomi account name to my full name and surname with "_" sign, they refuse to request to go through. But with only my name (I've assumed that there are so f...ing many Rafals on the entire world, they wouldn't know which one is it) it went well and I get the code really quick (less than 24h).
I've read somewhere yesterday (don't remember now) that Mi Suite (which could be used for older phones) is no longer supported. It failed to seen my phone with stock rom, updated via OTA to MIUI 9.2.1.0 NCFMIEK, says that I need to upgrade my phone (lol x2). But mi unlock works fine, apart from that 0xffffffff error. If I've typed about Mi Unlock that it sucks, it was my mistake.
Also, I've noticed, that pack changed since yesterday and devs added new pack from 1st of Feb. It also came with a different name, so maybe that was the reason why I was confused.
OR, now that I'm thinking – I'm not able to properly use MiFlash, since less than 48 hours passed by since my last 99% try on Mi Unlock? Could it be the case, when I do not need to log in in first application?

Hi, first i feel your pain and can associate with you, had similar problem with unlocking bootloader. I had stuck 99% issue.
Try few things, wait at least 5 - 7 days to try again(i know, waiting is pain in a** but you need to do that). When you get approved for unlocking its unfortunately doesn't mean you can immediately unlock you need to wait few more days to be "recorded" on xiaomi severs.
Meantime, have logged mi account, feel up all details in miui account info section in your phone. Enable micloud, make sync atleast once sms/calendar/ call history etc. Make atleast one complete system backups into micloud.
Also crucial part is to have mi "find device" features enabled on your phone, you can freely disable after when you succeed with unlocking.
Log into your micloud on pc(not on phone browser), be careful where you log in, you need to login into English micloud site if you made miui English account.
When you are logged in go to find device feature on site, check if you can see own phone on theirs micloud map.
Check on micloud if you have maybe more devices linked, if you wish you can remove other phones and live only your redmi note 4.
After atleast 5 days, try again but this time, do crucial steps: find device enabled, go to miui English site, log into account, on main page near "unlock" section is "download" section, click and download mi unlock tool.
Stay loged into miui site on pc, run unlock tool and try again.
I had issue with unlocking, after doing all of this managed to finally unlock bootloader.
In short:
You need to wait few more days(5 atleast). Fill all details in miui account on phone and do also on miui site/forum account.
Sync your phone, make backups on micloud.
Enable mi cloud find my device service on phone.
Check if debugging mode is enabled and oem unlock turned on.
Remove pin/pattern lock and fingerprints unlocking feature.
Be logged in on mi account on phone, also on pc browser.
Try to unlock it.
Ok, so after this cool reply I've got two more things to consider:
1. Checking that locate my device feature – done. I've got this option enabled on my RN4X, but I've not checked it on my pc. Now it's done, and I'm remembered (I hope so) on the page with localization feature.
2. Being logged on pc page when unlocking using Mi Unlock. Isn't the logging in this app enough?
Also, one more thing – how do I check, how much time I need to wait before next unlocking try? Mi Unlock does not show that (amount of hours, that can be seen on unsuccessful attempt). And I do not want to screw something up. Quick checking my account for permissions to unlock has been done successfully since no errors were shown.
E: I've already added my account (with mobile transfer and wi-fi at the same time, so it has to be sent!) on programming options, under the "Mi lock status" or something like that. I don't think that spamming this option will change anything.

1. Have it enabled till you successfully unlock bootloader. Please, check if you can see your device on micloud map. Also check how many devices are linked to that micloud account.
2. Not 100% sure do you need to be online in both, but it helped me.
No need to spam that "mi lock status" button.
Don't forget to make some system backup on micloud and aditional sms/call history etc.
Also fill up account details on your phone under "mi account" section.
About time to pass, so you can try mi unlock tool, isn't define... Unfortunately there you can't be sure when you will be in chance to successfully unlock bootloader... That's xiaomi philosophy, they don't want procedure to be easy and smooth ride.
Some rule of thumbs is to wait atleast 7 to 10 days... I tried after 5 days again.
I hope this info's helped a little.

Yes it is. I've seen myself on map in pinpoint location, so they got it right. There's only one device (RN4X), so no need to be bothered.
I've already made a backup and trying to have everything as much up to date as possible. Most likely I'll end up with few hours of configuration anyway (due to highly custom apps of mine, I just dislike things like default gallery, default music player, default homescreen etc).
On my phone everything is fulfilled (apart from verification, but I'm not a Chinese and I will not be able 2D so. I'm not gonna give them my ID scan (they didn't recognise it anyway, so xD) or my account (they say that it's not supported anyway)).
Now I just need to wait 2 more days, since there might be 72 hours delay (according to this site -> https://miuipolska.pl/forum/topic/9218-odblokowywanie-bootloadera-w-urządzeniach-xiaomi-poradnik/, point 6.5. and "quote" box) between getting permissions and actually being able to do anything.
Not sure, why Chinese are doing such weird things with their stuff. Even UMI C Note (which has next to nothing support on internet) or QCONG C1391 (I'm gonna root it soon) are much easier to bypass. Even with Mediatek. I don't get it, but if I bought it, I'll have to live with it, right?
I'll most likely come back on Monday to try it harder again. I also knew now, that MiFlash is backup option, in case of my phone being dead. Knowing my skill and troubles with android phones since old LG GT540 I might need that knowledge later (hope not, but still). I actually never made a proper flash from the begging until the end in first try with guides. RN4X is just another example of that xD.
I'll post my next results there soon.

Agree, xiaomi complicating things to the maximum and they aren't alone. Most popular excuse is that locked bootloader = secure device, but i like to have choice to have less secure but complete control on product which i payed.
Forgot to say, someone also mentioned that you leave phone on and connected to Internet when you run mi unlock tool and signing into account on mi tool and then you connect phone into pc usb port when tool ask you.
Whish you luck with it and you're welcome to post how it went after.

Ohh man, yes mi suite is really like (un)useful, i mean it never detected my device. Well it's been only 48 hours? Wait man, just wait. Xiaomi sent me a Chinese email with the dl link of mi unlock in 3 days, but the actual server sided permission, (without which you get stuck at 99%) came to me after a week. And I just noticed it when i like casually thought that, let's see if it works. Andds BAMMM it did. When the permission is granted it is 35-50-75-90-99-100% with no pause at all. So the thing is wait. Check out some guides till then, so you can prepare yourself to make mido the ultimate device lol

Do You mean chinese language mail to your mail connected with mi account? I didn't get that one yet, I didn't even get any permission other than sms.
It starts to look like one of these memes in web, which said "OP will surely delivered, I'll just wait", together with skeleton in front of the PC.

Once again, my mistake – got it two days back, before I even started "fun". I'll try to unlock using MiUnlock again on Monday.
I've tried again quickly this time, just to see if any of that "wait a bit longer" is true.
It is done. My phone is unlocked. I can also still unlock my phone with my finger (not always works as I desire, but it's a big step forward compared to UMI C Note), also "find my device" doesn't seem to bother me with texts such as "oh no, you have unlocked the phone, we cannot help you anymore, blahblahblah". Not sure why Chinese typed warning about it, when it still seems to be working just fine.
This topic is as good as closed then.
Thank You kindly for help, not for the first time my lack of patience gave me (not so hard, but still) hard time.
Now it's time to get some fun with TWRP, root and might as well new rom (because now I can).
Hello,
I have Huawei Honor 9 STF-AL10(al09) (chinese version 6gb/128gb) which can not unlock. Before some days i gave the phone to my child for playing, then he put lock pattern and he forget it next day.I was using my phone with my fingerprint ,whitout know the lockpattern,and some days later, it says fingerprint suspend - pattern required. And i am trying everything and cannot unlock it. I know the email which is connect the phone, i try when open it in google devices, but is not allowed USB debug and not allowed Find my phone and cannot unlock. Is there have any way to unlock and keep information in. I have a lot of doc, notes and some apps.
I need to save everything as it is inside.
I can wipe and recover, but i need to save everything.
Is there any software do this(doesn't matter if its paying).
Until somedays i have option every 1 hours to try 3 times, but from now is every 24 hours only 1 time.
Or, if there have any way to unlock again with my fingerprint and after that i will allow usb debug and remove lockpattern?
Please help.
Thanks!
Regards,
Georgi
Have you tried third party programs like dr.fone?
This article has some positive reviews, check it out as well.
You can't unlock bootloader on huawei devices so you can't recover data from it :/
If you're desperate you can follow this article here to unlock bootloader on your device, it's quite expensive though.
Also unlocking the bootloader wipes all data and that's obviously not what you want.
Should all of the above mentioned fail then I really think wiping it is the only option.
Should you succeed then do post what worked for you here so anyone viewing the thread in the future knows what to do.
I can do wipe data/cache from boot menu and i can reset it, i know the email and everything, but i need to save everything as it is inside.
I was thinking, if there have any way to bring again to unlock with the finger print and i will fix it.
It is not a problem, i will pay for Dr Fone, but i was write to them to ask, is the software can help me, without losing anything inside, but they not responding me.
I am trying any combination with lock pattern, but the problem is that now is only 1 try in 24hours and killing me.
Yes, If i find solution i will post it, to save a lot of searching for somebody else.

If you know the email then why not reset the pin?
You can't get the fingerprint to work if it says fingerprint suspended, it's a security feature in Huawei phones and you have to enter your pin.
Try sending it to an authorized service center, they may be able to help you.

How to reset the pin? I have no PIN, i have lockpattern and fingerprint. Yes, it says fingerprint suspended.
I was try with Find my Phone, but i am not activate the location and the option find my phone and cannot connected when i open it from browser, i see my phone, i see the imei, but i cannot do anything more.
I was talk with the authorized center in my country Bulgaria, but they say, that they can only wipe data and restored, but I dont want this, i was ask them for the contact to the central service center, but they not gave me any information.

What I mant by PIN is the device password, or lockpattern.
Did you try forgot my password?
If you have a Huawei ID and you're signed in on your device then follow this guide here.
If all of that failed as well then I'm sorry to inform you that your data is no longer recoverable.
Make sure to do regular backups to avoid this mistake again. I personally use this app.
Also turning on parental control mode when giving your device to your child is another way to avoid this happening again, I personally wouldn't blame my child for this.

I can't remember to set Huawei ID.
Yes, for future i will know and not give it anymore ...
I will continue trying to searching , it must to have a way to do it.
Thanks!

I commend your determination annon, but please don't waste your time.
There is no way to recover the data. You don't have debugging mode on, no root, no unlocked bootloader or custom recovery, you don't have a Huawei ID, and google account/google find my device doesn't work.
I don't mean to interfere in your family issues, but as I said I wouldn't blame my child for it. Judging from the way you spoke they're still young.
Instead I'll turn on parental control mode before giving my device.
I will try to find a way with fastboot, if there have some way to do it, i can see the device in ADB terminal , it recognize it at fastboot device, when start the phone in fastboot recovery menu.
Yes, he is 8 year old, i'm not blame him, they are child - it is normal for them.
Got Zui Unlock File have tried not translating site both IMEIS all sorts of other random BS
I get this error. USB debugging enabled and OEM unlock on in Devolper settings. Im trying to flash GLOBAL from to Chinese version as my mobile data doesn't work as phone auto popluates with wrong APN settings and I cant change them. It popluates with HOT spot APN settings and the data will work if I send it to another phone so I know it should be possible to get it to work if I can get the right settings in there. Was hoping global from would fix it but I cant flash to global as I get incompatible hardware message likely due to the BOOT loader being locked still.

Have you tried flashing in fastbootd rather than fastboot?
how do i do that
theres the bootloader mode and the fastboot mode. to get into fastboot mode on phone I have to put into recovery mode press power button and volume button up and then I can actually get the phone to be detected in fastboot and have the commands work
EDIT I AM IN FASTBOOTD it says it at the top. thats when i got that error i previousy screenshotted
I can take pictures if not familliar with the specific model.. first person gets 100$ in crypto or fiat via Paypal IDC Im desperate it hasn't been working for months and my other phone I've been hotspotting to it got cracked and is quite old so its either buy an entirely new phone or get this one working fully
can message me on {Mod edit} to exchange info for reward whoever helps fix

If you haven't connected it to the USB under the volume button, connect it to the USB under the volume button.
If you are using another USB, it may fail.
If I don't use the side port it won't even show up in fastboot. As for the file and the folder if it is not in the right folder I get a different error. I navigate to the drive then run the command but the phone tells me it is locked so it seems like a catch 22 situation

Have you registered the wrong value for IMEI1?
Click on the link in this tutorial, this link is the best, put your first (top) IMEI number and the correct serial number. People are confusing serial number with the 2nd IMEI number or with something else, I put the wrong one first time but second time got it right. Follow the instructions in this tutorial its the best tutorial. Use the side port not the bottom. I'm enjoying a fully updated, bootloader unlocked and rooted Legion duel 2, its super fast after rooting cos I have gotten rid of all google and lenovo junk, only kept whatI need. All the best guys.

If i use the other imei it wont even send the file. I have the file kt just doesnt work due to the error message in the screenshot.
First, have you tried removing a lock on the phone altogether (by setting it to none or swipe and deleting fingerprint)? Second, try running fastboot from /Android/platform-tools/ . Third, when you plug the phone into the bottom port and it is not recognized, go to device manager and look for an exclamation that should state something like fastboot device, right click select properties, select driver update, select browse my computer for driver, select let me pick, scroll down to near bottom and select USB device, there should be a list of three choose winadb (might be winusb). Last, try running the fastboot command from an admin privileged command prompt (right click command prompt, run as admin). These suggestions should lead you to a solution for unlocking the device. I'd appreciate your "offer"; post back results.
