Help needed... Locked out of Nexus 9 and bootloader is locked... - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've been trying to flash ElementalX kernel on my Nexus 9... and somehow I messed it up completely.
Here are the facts:
1. Booting is stuck on Google logo with red writing "This is a development device not intended for production use" at the top
2. Bootloaders is locked - I can see it in fastboot (Device State - LOCKED)
3. There's no OS to boot into (to enable "fastboot oem unlock" command)
4. "fastboot oem unlock" results in "(bootloader) Permission denied for this command!"
5. I can boot into TWRP recovery and I can sideload files
At one point bootloader was unlocked, but I (stupidly) issued "fastboot oem lock" command which screwed everything up....
What to do, any advice?
Thank you!

Cannot unlock bootloader again

I have a little isssue with the bootloader...
Sometime ago, i have unlock the bootloader easily, no problems.
But now, i have checked if it is unlocked, and it is no longer
So i have tried to re-unlock it, and fastboot display that's okay and my phone reboot into recovery.
I have rebooted it into bootloader mode, typed "fastboot oem device-info" and nobody is true !
What do you think about this ?
Ps: Sorry for bad english
Okay, calm down.
Go to developer options and see if "OEM Unlocking" is enabled. If not, enable it.
Cool. Now enable USB Debugging, connect the phone to PC, open CMD and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Download TWRP from the official website, rename it to recovery.img and then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you have a recovery and an unlocked bootloader. Profit?
I hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't work
I have only my old recovery (who is twrp in is latest version, no problems with that )
But suddenly i wondere if unlocked bootlooder is useful if i have already an recovery
Finally, i have followed the mega unbrick guide.

If your android rooted using KingRoot then it must your bootloader is unlocked.
Try command in fastboot mode
"fastboot oem device-info" then see bootloader unlocked is true or false. If true means your bootloader is unlocked.
What ever i am typing its saying only "FAILED <remote: unknown command>"
Only the working code is "fastboot devices" 😥

impossible to unlock nexus 9 - adb said "no device"

Hello
I have a problem when I want to unlock my nexus 9.
First I have a problem because my tablet freezed.
I have made a factory reset, then google said me : used the first account to use your tablet" but I lost this account
So I want to flash my tablet.
to do that, I use the tutorial on HTC site. on step 5 they say:
type adb oem unlock
but the CMD windows just say:
<waiting for device>
then I try to show devices with adb device but my window don't show device.
to do those step my tablet was in recovery more "fastboot usb"
can you help me?
thanks
Jack
@jackvig Looks like you encountered Factory Reset Protection!
You can not use adb commands while in fastboot mode! "fastboot devices" should list your device.
And the command to unlock is "fastboot oem unlock" not adb!
Plus you won't be able to unlock the bootloader unless you have selected the option to do so in developer options, since you have factory reset that option may have been turned off even if you set it previously.
Your going to have to try and remember your account password to make the device usable.
Depending on what version/patch of the rom your device is on it maybe possible to Bypass FRP, google it.
If your device was on a very recent patch level, no bypass trick will work.

I agree with you for fastboot instead of adb but the result is the same.
I cannot go inside the tablet to change parameters
Some forum said that I can Unlock in recovery mode
Is it true?
when my tablet is in recovery mode (On/off + Vol Up)
the tablet show me device state : locked
I am in state HBOOT
the on my computer I do that
C:\Users\maison>fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) ability is 0
(bootloader) Permission denied for this command!
OKAY [ 0.015s]
finished. total time: 0.018s
after I go in FASTBOOT mode then :
C:\Users\maison>fastboot oem unlock
< waiting for device >
what can I do to have the Key to unlock
No you need fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader!
Is the command "fastboot devices" listing your device. If not check your drivers for your device.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot devices
HT4B6JT00881 fastboot
after that i try :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb sideload volantis-ota-n9f27m-ad1aee0f.zip
loading: 'volantis-ota-n9f27m-ad1aee0f.zip'adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
serving: 'volantis-ota-n9f27m-ad1aee0f.zip' (~0%) * failed to read command: Invalid argument
i think tablet i now connected to computer
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) ability is 0
(bootloader) Permission denied for this command!
OKAY [ 0.011s]
finished. total time: 0.014s
As suspected the option to unlock is not selected in developer options.
If your successful in sideloading an OTA image in recovery mode (not fastboot mode), you will still encounter FRP on booting the device.
Edit: - As said before ADB commands do not work in fastboot mode. And fastboot commands do not work in Recovery mode!
As said before your only hope is to remember your account and password used (or the very last account you used on the device might work).
If you haven't updated the rom in the last year, you maybe able to use FRP Bypass trick.

You should not have factory reset if you do not know the account password. It is protected by "factory reset protection". To prevent it from being used if it is stolen. You are most likely going to need the password for the account that was logged in when you reset.
Flashing is not going to help. And as mentioned previously, you cannot unlock the bootloader now since you cannot go into developer options and turn on oem unlocking.

Wiko U Feel Prime bootloader unlock failed (unknown command)

Dear all,
I have made numerous attempts to unlock the bootloader of my Wiko U Feel Prime, but to no avail.
(My goal is to flash TWRP, root with Magisk and install LineageOS.)
USB debugging and OEM unlocking are enabled in the developer settings.
ADB recognises the device. When I execute adb reboot bootloader, the device reboots, and doesn't get past the "powered by Android" screen – but is nonetheless found by fastboot when I run fastboot devices. Seems like the USB drivers are functioning properly, correct?
Now, when I run fastboot oem unlock, I get the following response:
Code:
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: -0.000s
The command fastboot flashing unlock gives the same result.
Moreover, fastboot getvar all displays no unlocked variable. The command fastboot getvar unlocked yields
Code:
unlocked:
By the way, this phone was shipped SIM unlocked.
I've spent hours looking around the web for solutions, but everyone (including guides specifically written for Wiko U Feel Prime) simply says "unlock the bootloader" as if it's a trivial task. And I've run out of ideas. Could anyone help?
Thank you very much.
