Hi
I've had some hard time trying to unlock my GT-I9060I's bootloader (so I can install unsigned custom ROMs) but I didn't succeed.
Thins I've tried so far:
Installed Android SDK
Installed ADB and Fastboot drivers
Changed the android driver to Android Bootloader Interface
The problem seems to either be my computer not recognizing the phone in fastboot mode or simply my phone not booting in fastboot mode (even though
HTML:
adb reboot bootloader
rebooted my phone)
How can I unlock my bootloader?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading the forums for several days and believe that I am completely stuck. My son rooted his KFHDX 7" and was messing with different apks. It was still working at this point.
He thought it was running slow so he put it into recovery mode (power and volume up) and chose to reset it back to factory settings. Now it just boots to the Gray Kindle Fire bootup screen. Now the ADB is not enabled, he lost his root, and the device is locked.
When I plug the device into my computer (Windows 7) it won't even recognize it. Instead it gives me MTP Devices with error. I have loaded all of the device drives and Android SDK with no luck.
The only adb functions that appear to work are:
adb devices -------> This only gives me the generic serial# 01234569789ABCDE
adb reboot -------> This will reboot the kindle but it won't go past the gray logo
adb reboot-bootloader -------> This will put me into fastboot mode
adb kill-server
adb start-server -------> This will restart the ports but has not affect on the other commands
In fastboot mode I am to access all of the normal commands:
fastboot devices -------> This only gives me my actual serial#
fastboot reboot
fastboot oem unlock -------> It says it is unlocked but it is still locked
fastboot oem lock
However I can't use the following commands since it says my device is locked:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem device-info
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img
I tried the 1-Click automated file and it got me all the way through until it asked me to enable the ADB debugging which I couldn't do since I am stuck at the boot screen. And I can't use a tool kit to fix it since I can't downgrade to a lower release.
Therefore I can not unlock my bootloader without downgrading which is impossible without a working system and functioning recovery. I can't root my devices without ADB enabled. And I can not flash a new working ROM due to the locked bootloader. Did I miss anything or is there still something I can do?
Please help, I am trying to get this working before Christmas.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is no known recovery from this type of failure. I don't say that casually and wish there was a solution. The symptoms you report are both common and tell tale. The device is bricked.
I just replaced the motherboard on my hdx 8.9
It worked, I had to order a daughterboard also.
Total cost around $50 from where I got them.
Worth looking into. Watch teardown videos on YouTube and get the right tools.

Since fastboot appears to respond as expected on your device,
I'd be **very** interested in testing my long-standing theory
that 'fastboot update' __might__ work even on locked devices.
The "gotcha" is that we'd need to prepare the right package for
your Kindle. So, I gather it's an HDX 7" (3rd Gen?), i.e. "thor" model.
Do you remember what version of Fire OS you had installed?
Ok, so here's my problem: I want to install twrp recovery on my z5c, the bootloader is unlocked and I can enter fastboot mode using the reboot bootloader adb command. But once I'm in fastboot mode and I enter fastboot devices, there is no response. I've downloaded the fastboot driver from the sony xperia site and placed it in my platform tools folder. Any ideas as to what might be the problem?

Then reinstall the flashtool drivers
if you get desperate, grab the sdk from google
Hello,
Since a few years, I have root, TWRP recovery and XPOSED framework on my device.
I thought It's time to go further and try out new ROM, but to do it I need to unlock a bootloader.
Unfortunately, when I'm entering a fastboot mode (notification LED is blue) the adb "fastboot devices" command does not show anything.
I'm working on Windows 10.
What am I doing wrong?
Is a twrp somehow blocking the access? Or maybe I can do it directly from TWRP recovery.
PS. Drivers are OK, because I'm entering the fast boot mode by "adb reboot bootloader" command.
Im fairly certain its driver on the pc side.
Try it on a different pc.
Adb needs different drivers from fastboot. You havent installes fastboot drivers from the driver package.
hi..
Greetings to every Android Magicians out there...!
Device:- MiA1 (Never rooted)
1.USB debugging was enabled and OEM is not enabled.
2.Hence Boot loader is Locked.
3. Adb drivers installed in my laptop.
4.Windows driver signature are disabled.
5. Xaiomi flash tool and drivers installed.
6. Qualcom HS-USB Diagnostics 900E installed.
7. Can be enter in fastboot mode and edl mode as well.
The problem:- My MiA1 was never rooted (USB debugging was enabled and OEM is not enabled.).
All apps are force stopped suddenly while using the phone so tried to reboot my devices,
and there it begins.. it stuck at boot logo.
Things i have tried:
1. Fastboot Mode:
Since the boot loader is locked i cant flash Any ROM through fastboot so i tried to enter in EDL mode through CMD.,But failed.
so i just open the back panel & however entered in EDL mode by Testpoint.
(and i've tried in fastboot through cmd { fastbooot oem unlock } it says successful but when i check the status through
{fastboot oem devices-info} but the bootloader is still locked).
2. Test Point Method:
I tried to flash MiA1 official global version ROM's (7,8,9 as well) through Xaiomi Flash tool(2015,2016,2017 versions) by test point Methods.
i have encountered the problems like AKC don't match and Cant receive Hello packets.
However i have got solved this Prolems by using Beta version of Xaiomi Flash tool.
3. When i flash (tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794) flashing was successful but devices still stuck at
Androidone logo.
Tried to flash other versions of ROM (tissot_images_V10.0.4.0.PDHMIXM_9.0) flashing was successful but devices still stuck at
Androidone logo.
By the way i have tried it using different type C cables and different ports (COM5, COM20,COM40 etc) and and different laptop as well but No luck.
i hope you guys do some Magic and help me out.
Thank you so Much for reading this thread.
Have decided to root my phone with Adb and fastboot devices in Windows 10 and also installed drivers sucessfully and i can se my phone in cmd when i type fastboot devices.
Have unlock the bootloader in the phone and Enabled USB failure search in Advanced settings in developers mode.
When i loaded the Twrp file in cmd with adb i could copy and write the file to my fastboot device but when i reboot the phone into bootloader i se that download mode are disabled.
How can you unlock download mode ?
When i try to reboot into recovery mode i get the Android bot with a red triangle into it.
Im guessing that happens for i dont have download mode enabled and im wounder is the Twrp file on my phone or have that setting stopped this process?
