Only asking because now that fire droid has stopped being developed their is now their is no cyanogen mod for locked boot loader and as my phone is a t mobile one i cannot unlock the boot loader because i cannot get into the fast boot because nothing happens (continues to charging animation) even though i have all the drivers installed and i have even tried on two different computers. I think it could be that in the service menu it says it cannot be unlocked even though i can get the unlock code from Sony.
If in service menu its says it cant be unlocked then there is no way to unlock it i guess......

Uh, so I've been having a few problems trying to unlock the bootloader on my X10 and I came to some problems:
1. When I first connected my phone with the USB cable, the FlashTool showed that my phone had debugging mode off even though I checked it and it was on!
2. I ignored this problem and decided to try unlocking the BL anyways. When I shut down my phone, held the back button and plugged the USB cable to put the phone into Flashmode, after 10-20 seconds it would automatically reboot itself and get my phone out of Flashmode, making me unable to flash Kernel Downgrade!
3. This time I trained my fingers and tried to flash Kernel Downgrade before my phone started to reboot itself and I succeeded. But now that I flashed it, the next step for unlocking says
"disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)"
but the problem is that my phone won't go anywhere after the Sony Ericsson text (not the logo with the circle and stuff where it's supposed to)
I am using (or at least was using until I flashed Kernel Downgrade) DoomLord's Kernel v6 and ViolentOS ROM. I have also tried restoring the xRecovery backup I made exactly before starting the flashing, but it still won't work, the phone always gets stuck on the Sony Ericsson text. What am I supposed to do?!
What logo with the circle?? That's the boot animation, loaded when system is already running. It is supposed to be stuck at the first screen, that's when system starts loading kernel and can't with "wrong" baseband.
Sony Ericsson text is WHERE it has to be stuck.
Also, at least for me, I couldn't do unlock without 2.1 rooted system installed, had to flash baseband and system, then unlock and then restore my 2.3 backup.
New Problem

@kalte The logo with the circle is the animation that comes after the text.
But forget what I said. I'm trying to boot the phone and it's not working. I disconnected the USB and took off the battery then put the battery back in to see if it could boot. It's stuck at the text even though I restored everything with an xRecovery backup. Is this because of the Kernel Downgrade?
FIXED IT!
I'm such an awesome person! Just had to flash the Generic Kernel Upgrade. Everything is working, with my previous settings and all.

Flash Stock Firmware of your region using flashtool, to get you phone back to life. & try unlocking your bootloader using Flashtool.
PS- Flashtool never disappoints me.
I am in a messed up situation, I live outside US, asked a friend to bring me a nexus 9 from US. Tablet was ordered from Amazon, and when I received it its box was open. Anyway long story short when I turned on the tablet it showed me google logo then directly went to recovery screen (android logo with exclamation sign and text no command). This is all I get no matter how many times I restart the tablet.
I don't know how it got into this state, but I tried resetting it from recovery and fast boot, but it shows me same screen.
Boot loader is locked and I can not unlock it with unlock boot loader command, it tells me I don't have permission to run this command, now I know in nexus 9 you have to check a box in developer settings to run that command but the irony is I never reach the OS screen.
So I have locked boot loader, I am in a boot loop where my tablet boots into recovery by default, I can not unlock boot loader with simple unlock command, but I have access to boot loader and recovery and also ADB.
What option if any I have, is there any way to unlock boat loader without first checking that box in developer options, I really need help here other wise my money is going down the drain.

Can you get into recovery, when you get the exclamation mark use power + vol up? If you can do a factory reset in that

Yap, already tried that, but it did not fix any thing
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app
Did you try a factory reset from the bootloader?

So I had a moto e with it's bootloader unlocked, and had a custom ROM running on it; however without my knowledge, someone gave the phone to a local (unauthorized )service center. I am not sure about what they did but after this incident, I get the Bootloader unlocked warning when it powers on, but then it directly goes to the fastboot menu saying that there was a fall through in the normal boot-up procedure, and 'system image validation failed'. However I was able to boot into android by rebooting a number of times. But recently, when it did boot up after several attempts the IMEI numbers were gone, so it wouldn't recognize my SIM cards.
I should also mention that the fastboot menu says that the phone is LOCKED. I tried using fastboot, but i cannot even get the unlock code info, or unlock the bootloader itself.
At this point, what do I do? Do I try flashing the same firmware again?
Thank You.
Try flashing the stock firmware :fingers-crossed: Best of Luck!
Hit Thanks if I Helped!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a m150 that has been having issues, a few months ago it randomly started crashing and going into kernel panic.
I've gotten a new phone since then but thought this would be something I could tinker with, and try to get it working again.
However, I seem to be running into problems everywhere.
For starters, It won't let me do a factory reset from the normal settings menu and I cannot boot into recovery mode directly from the phone.
I was finally able to boot into recovery using adb but all it gives me is the picture of the android w the red warning sign and "no command" After that, I tried to reboot into the bootloader using adb.
However, this has only caused the phone to shut down and become unresponsive until removing the battery, or sends it into bootloop. I have the stock rom from lg and want to flash it but I can't unlock the bootloader because even get into it:crying:
sorry if I sound noobish or put this question in the wrong place, I'm new at this.
android ver: 7.0
kernel ver: 3.10.49
developer options are enabled as well as USB debugging and Enable OEM unlock
I don’t know what happened to my phone, but I booted up the phone and I get the error in the picture below. The boot loader is locked and I can’t unlock it, it says “flashing unlock is not allowed “ and I can’t access download mode or any mode except boot loader.
So is there anyway to revive my phone again? Maybe force unlock boot loader or flashing stock bios using fastboot?
Thank you for your time.

Press and hold power key to continue
You probably pressed power button which paused it from going further
That's the ugly Red safety warning, not the benign yellow one. As I understand, this is what happens if the bootloader is locked and one of the partitions fails its security check. All partitions must be completely stock when the bootloader is locked.
@runningnak3d described this somewhere, and I seem to recall it's a hard brick, or at least pretty hard. But I hope I'm wrong
