[Q] Guys pls help - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys....today i rooted my moto e with the help of this site.....after rooting was completed my phone showed warning bootloader unlocked but after it started i checked with root checker app and it shows my phone is not rooted....so i tried to repeat steps of rooting........but when i type command "fastboot oem unlock 'unique key'" it says that my device is already unlocked......i dont know what to do now to root it properly......pls help....thnx in advance
i only did these six steps.....
1.) Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
2.)Open Command Prompt on androidsdk/platform-tools/ (Hold Shift and right click and press open command window here)
Connect your Phone to PC
3.)Type this in the CMD prompt window - fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will get a return string. Copy it. [Right Click-Mark- Mark the text by pressing the shift key-Now press Ctrl+C]
Paste all the lines together in a notepad. Remove the empty spaces.
4.)Now go to the Motorola Site.Sign in using your Google account or Motorola ID. Scroll down the page and paste the copied string in the field at step #6. Then click on ‘Can my device be unlocked?’, after which a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will appear at the bottom of page. To get your unlock key, select the ‘I Agree’ option. Note: You will receive an email with your Unlock Key at the email address you used to log in there. Important – Copy the 20-character key that Motorola sent you via email. Make sure your device is connected.
5.)Then in CMD type: fastboot devices (To check your device is connected)
6.)Then type: fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY

Unable to flash TWRP [FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)]

Hey all,
--> I'm trying to flash TWRP to my Sony Z5 Compact, but the flash fails during the writing process of the .img file
--> It gives me the following error: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
--> I am currently running build number 32.3.A.2.33
--> The phone is NOT rooted (but this should not matter I think... because I cant do that either if I cant write anything to my phone...)
Things that I have already done:
1. I enabled OEM unlocking in the developer options.
2. I enabled USB-Debugging in the developer options
3. The ADB and Fastboot drivers are working correctly
Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? I have already browsed the web for a fix, found a lot of people having the same issue, but nothing has worked for me.
Thanks in advance!

Here link:
https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

its always good idea to backup also DRM keys also unlock takes your warranty
A. Install the Android SDK and the device drivers
1. Download and install the Android SDK. The SDK Manager is included in Android Studio, but you don’t need to install more than the basic Android command line tools. These can be found at the bottom of the page.
Tip: Take note of the installation path, you may need to access specific files later.
a. If you are running Windows: You need to install additional drivers.
1. When completing the installation, open the Android SDK Manager and go to the Extras folder to install the Google USB driver.
2. Download and install an updated Fastboot driver. This is the standardandroid_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony devices.
3. Replace the original android_winusb.inf-file with the downloaded file in theusb_driver folder, located in the Android >sdk > extras > google folder on your computer.
b. If you’re running OSX or Linux, you are not required to install any additional drivers.
2. On your device, turn on USB debugging by going to Settings > Developer options and click to enable USB debugging.
a. If your device is Android Jelly Bean 4.2 or newer: Developer options are hidden by default. To enable, tap on Settings > About Phone > Build Version multiple times. Then, turn on USB debugging by going to Settings > Developer options.
B. Connect to Fastboot
1. Turn off your Xperia™ Z5 Compact.
2. Connect a USB-cable to your computer.
3. On your Xperia™ Z5 Compact, press the Volume up button at the same time as you connect the other end of the USB-cable.
a. Windows users: When asked for a driver, open the Devices and Printers directory, click on the fastboot driver and press Update. Browse and point towards the location of the new android_winbus.inf file.
4. When your device is connected, open a command window on your computer and go to the platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder.
5. Enter the following command:
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Verify that you get an answer back without any errors.
C. Enter unlock key
WARNING! The command below contains your unlock key. If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader. This may void your warranty and/or any warranty from your operator.
1. If you still want to unlock the boot loader of your device, enter the following command:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x(here your code you got by sony)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Verify that you get an answer back without any errors.
D. Done!
You have now unlocked the boot loader of your device
good luck, update if got it right
PS .i posted my imei by mistake hope i didnt miss to remove another :X
Hey man! Thanks for the quick response! Went right to work with it this morning... and it fixed it!
--> I completely missed the next steps from Sony. for some reason I thought that OEM unlocking option would do the magic lol..
--> After I unlocked it through cmd it was a breeze from there! Got my TWRP on there and the Lineage ROM
Thanks!

Stuck on bootloader unlock

Second time Ive gotten stuck in this whole process, man I dont get why no one else seems to be having trouble but myself Worked on this part for at least 40 minutes before posting, will continue while I wait for response.
This part of the instruction:
14. Go to the directory where you downloaded your bootloader unlock key.
15. Enter "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin" in DOS command window.
“unlock.bin” is the bootloader unlock key you received in the email.
I feel like I must be missing somthing here, because I dont understand why Im bothering to "go to the directory wherer the unlock key is" if Im just going to be entering a command in the dos window. It's not like im browsing to it then adding it, then opening it in a piece of software or whatever....
Either way, just copy pasting "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin" (without quotations) I get an error "cannot load "unlock.bin"
Using Minimal adb as cmd, this is correct right?
"Edit" Update:
Should I be using adb.exe instead of minimal adb? No need in explaining every step that led to this, but I have this folder now in my c drive (https://gyazo.com/703ba598851878527d817c8ff68ae11b) I've tried running adb.exe as admin, even not as admin, and the command window just flashes up quickly and disappears. This makes more sense to me even though it's not working for some reason.
Thanks
Copy that unlock.bin file to the same folder where your fastboot files are. The same folder where you are right-clicking to create the command window.
Your TWRP file should also be in that same folder (for later).
It's going to look for files in that folder that you are telling it to "flash". If it can't find the file, it can't flash that file.
The instructions are written poorly. I knew what to do, based on past experience.

Alright, so youre saying the unlock.bin folder goes into the folder in my screenshot, with the 4 files in it correct? If so, shift right click open cmd window is the only way to bring up the right cmd window in order to unlock the bootloader? If so, is that option default on your pc? I don't have the right click open command window option available. I read into that, it have the impression it was disabled at some point, the task of restoring the option seemed somewhat arduous, at least according to a couple of the walthrough's I read. Are you aware of a simpler method of making this option available?
thanks so much Chazz for youre reply, I was really looking forward to doing this today and this small step has roadblocked me for hours at this point, really appreciate it man

In that folder with your fastboot files, you hold the keyboard "shift" key down, while simultaneously right clicking (in an empty space) with your mouse. In that right click menu should be an option to open a command window. You would click on that option.

Powershell, it's powershell. I knew that was a command window, why was I missing it, I'm sure it was there the whole time. Thanks Chazz, looks like I'm gtg.

When I try to put it on bootloader mode it fails.
Follow the steeps I've done:
1. Turn On USB Debug mode and OEM Unlock at Developer menu.
2. Plug in and do adb command "adb devices"
3. When appear the list with my phone I do the command "adb reboot bootloader"
But when it restarts it goes to system and not to bootloader screen.
Ive tried also "adb reboot fastboot" and "adb reboot download" but the same happens.
@diego998kk
Press and hold the volume down and power buttons until the LG logo appears, then release them. If this doesn’t work, you may have to release the power and volume down buttons for a second when the LG logo appears, then re-press them until the bootloader shows up what may take some seconds.

[GUIDE] Bootloader unlock and root without TWRP - ZE554KL, Z01KD*

Hello,
As I had a somehow hard time to find a comprehensive guide on how to unlock the bootloader and root the Zenfone 4, here is a quick guide on how to do so. The method below was successfully used on a Z01KDA.
As usual: this guide will be used at your own risk. I won't accept any responsibility in any way if it results in a damage of any sort on your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PREREQUISITES
Zenfone 4 (that... should be obvious, but who am I to judge)
A computer with:
Windows (at least Windows 7, I guess)
Fastboot ready to use (I recommend using the file from this link as it is the most straightforward, but if you prefer the SDK tools, well, you do you) and being able to use it (though on a basic level)
A USB-C cable capable of transferring data
Time to read all the annoying stuff below, and patience.
1. Bootloader unlock (from this thread // thanks to OP @shakalaca)​
Whichever method you use to unlock your bootloader, all your personal data and settings will be erased and your phone will be restored to factory default. So, backup everything before going forward.
As this method was used on a rather old version of the Zenfone 4 firmware, I suggest that you use the official downgrade method from Android P to Android O. To do so :
Download the file here on your computer (the main page is located here, under Drivers & Tools), and put it at the root of the phone, do not change the name of the file
After unplugging your phone, it will prompt a software update, proceed with it
If it doesn't work for any reason, use this method instead:
Put the file on a SD card (...inside the phone)
Reboot the phone to recovery (via ADB, or Power button + Volume down)
Install the update from recovery
Wait for the phone to reboot.
After the downgrade, you can proceed to the bootloader unlock:
Download the method of @shakalaca located here
Unzip all the files to the same folder
Get into fastboot on the phone (reboot with Power button + Volume up)
Make sure that your phone is detected with
Code:
fastboot devices
Run the file "ze554kl_unlock.bat" as administrator
Let it do its magic
Your phone will reboot, congrats, the bootloader is unlocked.

}
2. Install the latest firmware available on your Zenfone 4​
Follow the same steps as in the previous guide (1.), but with this file (the main page is located here, under BIOS & FIRMWARE ==> you have to click on EXPAND ALL to see all files)
3. Root​
On your phone:
Download the Magisk Manager apk from this link on your phone
Install it
On your computer:
Download the file from step 2. above
Extract it to any location
Locate the file boot.img and put it your phone.
On your phone:
Open Magisk
Click on Install
On the next screen, select
Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity
Preserve force encryption
Click NEXT
Under Method, click Select and Patch a File
Select the boot.img file
Let Magisk patch the file
Locate and put the modified boot.img file on your computer (in the same folder as the one with fastboot if you did not install it system wide)
Get into fastboot mode (reboot with Power button + Volume up)
On your computer
Open a cmd window
cd to the folder where the modified boot.img is located
Check if your phone is detected with the following command:
Code:
fastboot devices
Input the following command and press Enter:
Code:
fastboot flash boot name_of_the_modified_boot.img
Reboot your phone with the following command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot, congrats, it is rooted.
Feel free to ask any question if this guide is not clear, but it should be easy to follow!

Sony Xperia L3 root phone.

I have a Sony Xperia L3 and i have tried to root but it seems impossible. How can i do it? I have tried to root the phone with Sony Xperia C Root but it could not do it. Kingo Root is the same, fail. Also tried dr.fone but it did not support l3.
You must unlock the bootloader and then follow this steps: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
I have check and my phone can be unlocked, i have downloaded fastboot but i do not understand what to do next. I got to step 8 https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/ i can see my phone in the command line, what to do next?
I cannot find the fastboot icon under devices and printers
I got to https://mobilewithdrivers.com/unlock-bootloader/sony-xperia-l3-32gb-3gb-ram i got it into fastboot mode but no commands works, fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock. Unknown command, command not allowed.
Should i have a unlock code? I only see Xpeira L2 on the site for getting a unlock code, no L3 https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-xperia-device/
It seems to be something wrong in developer mode, oem do not turn on, no green, it is just off.

What's phone's Android version? Android 8.1 ? If so, look inside here:
[HOW TO] Root Android 8.1 - DevPreview 1 - OPP5
There are probably already a couple guides up, but I wanted to post about how I went about doing this and have everything working. It may not work for everyone, but for me, it worked the first time. 0: Yep, there is a step zero here. :good...
forum.xda-developers.com
Thanks. I cannot unlock the bootloader to try. I do not get the oem under development mode to work. It is only off. I can't get it on to unlock the bootloader.
Why not contact Sony ?
Sony Support Consumer Electronics
services.sony.co.uk
I tried the guide https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-unlock-bootloader-android-device.htm i get it to fastboot and the light is blue but i only get. Failed remote: Command not allowed, Finished. total times 0.045s.
What Fastboot command did you run?
BTW: Install the suitable Fastboot driver provided by Sony, if not already done yet.
I tried
Use the Command Prompt window to retrieve your unlock key as described by your manufacturer. If you own a Motorola device run the command: fastboot oem get_unlock_data, HTC run the command: fastboot oem get_identifier_token.
Select the token which is spit out by the Command Prompt window and copy and paste it into the applicable box of the form on your manufacturer's website without any spaces.
And: fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x07B7BFEA7AC879F0 https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-x-f5121f5122/
I downloaded android_winusb.inf were should i add it?
Don't understand what you've downloaded. It's an ADB driver.
