Failing to root venue 7 - Dell Venue

Dear all XDA developer,
I follow the guide of "DELL VENUE 7/8 Intel Rooting" posted by "social-design-concepts", but I got an error, which indicated that the "fastboot oem startftm" command is invalid. I search from Google and XDA forums, but I just couldn't find any information. I could install "factory_Venue7_jb4.3_sw-ver.1.16.img.gz" and the updates V1.25. And the command "fastboot erase cache" works fine.
I hope you could give me some help.
Thanks all.

[Q] Cannot unlock the bootloader: what am I missing?

I succeeded in doing the following:
1) downgrade my tablet to a rootable fw version
2) rooted with doomlord tool
Now I need to unlock my bootloader: I had requested the key a while ago, but never got around to using it.
I followed all the instructions and succeeded in connecting the tablet in fastboot mode to my pc (drivers installed fine and I receive a reply when issuing the trial command getvar version, meaning, I presume that the device is connected and able to receive commands and reply to them).
However when I issue the command in the instructions on http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and replace the final "KEY" with the key provided by Sony via email I receive a reply "FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)": what could I be doing wrong? I also copied and pasted the command in order to make sure that the syntax was correct and checked the code I input many times to make sure I did not miss or messed up something, but it all seems OK. I issued the command from within the same directory where the getvar command was issued, i.e. within Android SDk/Tools folder (the procedure on the website doesn't suggest to change folder, so I didn't!) , but no success at all!
Can anyone suggest some way out?
Thanks

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is bootloader unlocking allowed on your tablet ?
Some service providers have blocked bootloader unlocking.

I followed the procedure on the Sony website to check that and the answer is yes, it can be unlocked.
I tried some other tutorials and no results. It seems that it might be connected to the doomlord exploit (which I used to gain root access), but all the instructions on how to get around that have failed to allow me the unlocking!!!!

i'm not pro but you may have bad drivers or device is not completely unlocked,
try to completely uninstall any adb/device driver on your pc and install those ones,
besides that, check if device is detected with this command
Code:
fastboot -l devices
then try again with
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
goodluck.

How did you try to unlock your phones bootloader?
There is no need of unlocking code just command " fastboot oem unlock" and that's it now check your boot loader status with command on fastboot and it Will show you unlocked,
But there is no benefits to unlock this phone you will never find a Root solution for this phone,so it is recommended from me that stay with locked phone,& if you found any suitable custom ROM just flash it with PC without backup,other then that so far i didn't found any safe solution.

Can't Unlock Bootloader HDX 7 4.5.5.3 (Unlock code is not correct)

I read other threads with the same issue, before post this , but i cant solve it yet
Rooted HDX 4.5.5.3 -Check
Set developer mode on the Kindle -Check
Allow USB Depuration before proceed -Check
Downloaded ADB Composite Drivers / Unlock Bat's / ADB Interface- Check
I run as admin both files without problems, abut the error appears when kindle reboots "Unlock Failed- Unlock code is not correct"
(The files are placed on the correct site,by the way)
I tried
Download again ADB + Fastboot
Reinstall ADB Composite Drivers
Reboot Kindle
Download again Unlock files from original thread
Erase mutiple times unlock.code
No sucess at this point
Any suggestion its apreciated, serial number seems ok
I dont try downgrade yet , because someone post recently he bricks his device using this procedure, so i prefer stay away if is possible.

You need to install a vulnerable bootloader before unlocking. See step #2 in OP of linked thread. Scroll to the end of that thread to secure the referenced files as links in the OP are dead. Proceed with caution; a simple mistake can yield a world of hurt and potentially an unrecoverable device.
If your device is rooted you do NOT need to downgrade.
Yeah im following the steps correctly, i try again on my desktop tonight with Windows Vista , i think its some issue with W10 FCU on the laptop, when i tried unlock bootloader on my Blu Life One X2 on w10 , the system show excatly the same issues with unlocking tools, i repply the results

Can you boot into TWRP after completing step #2 of the unlock procedure? If not it is likely the vulnerable bootloader (ABOOT) was not properly installed.
Step #2 can be performed independent of steps #1 and #3. IMO it should be the first step taken after rooting. There is no need to generate an unlock code (step #1) prior to installing and testing the vulnerable bootloader and TWRP (step #2).

Sucess on my desktop PC , i have fully working TWRP and unlock code at the first try, dont know why fails on my laptop every time i tried, on the Blu Life X2 the bootloader and TWRP needs be patched to work on W10 , probably some issue with drivers or something weird, if someone have this issue try on other computer with old OS, thanks for the assistance

Archos Core 101 3G Ultra.

Hello guys !
I recently bought an Archos Core 101 3G Ultra, with Android 9 Pie.
My objective was to install a GNU/Linux Debian threw the SDE bootloader.
I'm new to this game, but I'm quite persistent. Sadly, all the documentation I can find is largely outdated (Including here. ).
I spent a lot of hours searching, and learned a lot of thing, but I'm finally stuck, and need help.
Actually, everything is damned locked. I think the problem comes more from Archos firmware than Android itself.
I did activate developer settings in Android, checked usb-debugging, oem-unlock and reboot (several times), but it seems not passed to lower software layers.
Besides, when I reboot Android, he tells me he could'nt update settings.
When I go to recovery (Vol + & power), device is unauthorized for adb, and invisible to fastboot (Even after declaring udev rules on my desktop. ).
But if I boot Android, adb works, and if I send "adb reboot bootloader" command, I can see my device in fastboot opened this way.
But I can't execute anything : he always sends me "command unknow" error message.
So no "fastboot oem device-info", neither "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock-go". I tried "adb root" but without success. When I do "abd shell", most folders are forbidden to me : no mv, no mkdir, not even ls.
I tried to follow several unlock/root tutorials, including the two ones we can find here for Archos gen 9 :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542058
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653566
But for all the reasons detailed above, they are impossible to archieve (Can't push anything for example).
Anyway, when I do "fastboot getvar-all", I can see my bootloader is locked and protected.
Any idea ?
Days of searching, and one hour after finally deciding to ask question, situation evolves.
Well... seems was bad command : not "fastboot oem unlock", but "fastboot flashing unlock". Bootloader unlocked, Android wiped.
But I'll see next later : I'm frackin' tired, need gaming !
Well well well... unlocking boot loader did not change anything.
I can't install TWRP : no working release for my device.
I tried to play it hard with Magisk : no A/B but system root install. But they soon ask me to extract and modify my recovery partition.
Impossible : I don't have access to such folders.
Seems my device is too recent, or maybe not known enough so I can find stock images on Internet.
Well I'm stuck.
Any idea before I break the tablet into smal pieces on my desk (Or offer it to my mother : she will be satisfied with android... ) ?
To be more acurate (Even if I doubt it will change anything. ) : if anybody has an Archos Core 101 3G Ultra recovery stock IMG, I'd be grateful =D...

Unlock Bootloader Moto E6 Plus

hello, as stated from the title i would kindly need your help in order to understand if-and-how Moto E6 Plus can be unlocked.
when i reboot the smartphone via adb (/adb reboot bootloader/) i can only see a simple barcode. unfortunately the upsaid barcode didn't help me. the barcode itself doesn't report any number/s or text. that said, on Motorola website i cannot really find any article about how-or-where i should be supposed to use that barcode.
by looking for info online, on XDA and reddit, some users suggested to type the following command/s:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
(or)
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
shortly, i will always get an error "command not supported/command failed".
i have already been unlocking and flashing different smartphones (mostly Samsung and Huawei) with no problems. Moto E6 Plus doesn't seem to be that easy. please, if you know something, gimme some information. if the device is impossible to unlock for real, i will just stop bothering.
thanks ahead time for your dealing.
