I've just purchased a Xperia X with FW 34.0.A.2.292 installed. I'd like to root thid device and found instructions on this thread . I've downloaded the kernel file, successfully installed all required ADB Drivers from here and followed the instructions. Unfortunately i allways get the following error message:
{

}

I've also tried to use flashtool but get the same error message in flashtool.
Any ideas how to proceed?
allow OEM unlock option under development options
Thanks, i have no OEM unlock option allowed, still getting the same error message. Does this require an unlocked bootloader?

Ah OK. What's the best way to backup the Xperia DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader, and how to restore them afterwards?
it's currently not possible to backup DRM-keys so you will lose them. there are kernels with DRM-fix which will restore the lost functions after unlocking

Did you buy your Xperia sim-unlocked? If not, it probably comes locked by carrier and this won't let you to unlock the bootloader.

Hey,
I recently got a cheap, slightly used chinese version Nokia N1. But because without the Google Services its pretty much useless to me, I want to root it and install a custom ROM.
I followed 2 tutorials:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/help/nokia-n1-root-t3125771
and
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/general/play-store-howto-t3118965
But I always get stuck on the part with the Recovery Launcher.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To give some background, here are the steps I did:
Because fastboot and the launcher won't see my device if its in MTP or PTP, I disabled both. That seems to work fine.
I "unlocked" oem in the developer settings and also allowed USB debugging.
I started the Recovery Launcher with admin privileges and used option T4.
It boots into recovery mode, but I just get errors all over the place bacause the device is still locked. So i just typed "fastboot oem unlock". Then T4 again.
Thats where this error occurs. From what I read, this should put me into a CWM recovery session. But it doesn't. It just stays in the fastboot mode window.
I'm pretty new to this android modding thing, so don't expect to much knowledge from me.
with much thanks

The thing is, there are no other solutions out there I really know about. I searched google up and down and got no real result.
I think my problem is that my android version isn't 5.0.x, like almost every english tutorial suggests. It is 5.1.1.
oh God... my fault sorry
Greetings, I own a tablet that has MT6592 Chipset. It has CPU (Cortex A7) and GPU(Mali-450).
It runs on kitkat 4.4.2. I want to flash a Custom ROM on it.
I have the Custom ROM File, but i am unable to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP(Easy TWRP maker).
Using ADB i tried to unlock the bootloader.
I typed in the command : fastboot oem unlock ,
Then i get a message on my screen saying, "Press Volume up to unlock (This will void warranty)"
When i do so, it shows a fail message.

I think you haven't installed correct fastboot drivers.
This "bug" is known at some MTK-devices. There are some solutions for a few devices, by using patched boot.img, but none for this. Did you find a solution yet?
I am getting an error text in Chinese, which I can't read nor understand. Can anyone help me out here?
What happened is I unlock the bootloader then flashed new PIE Beta. But stupidly enough I didn't notice that the re-lock option was enabled. Now here I am, unable to unlock the bootloader.

And I'm locked ever since....above is the link to my sad story where i end up re-locking my bootloader and not able to figure out how to get it unlocked again!
I even ended up deleting my old account leaving with an obsolete sim card number to which i can't even add any more mi accounts!
So i had created a new one(mi account)...reset my poco, added the new account, associated the device with the new account, tried unlocking from the mi unlocker....no luck...it was 72 hrs of relentless waiting followed by disappointment.
I'm now on stock v8.11.15 and the most i could do to relieve myself of the crappy mi bloatware is to hide the apps i despise..such as mi video, music, google play music, movies...etc from the launcher.
Still i haven't lost hope...i had created an mi account from a friend's sim card and I'm yet to slap it in my phone n try the new account.
Let's hope for the best.

Hi all.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my 8 Flip but am having a couple of issues. First one is that there's no "OEM Unlock" option in my Dev settings. I've tried running the official unlock tool anyay, and it errors out saying "Failed to unlock your device, please try again later.[11006]"
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Solved it - Just had to turn wifi off and use mobile data and it worked
My friend has an error code when unlocking the Bootloader. Do you know why?

Why are you trying to unlock the bootloader? Are there custom roms available?

To root the phone
where did you buy the phone? Some vendors sell phones that cannot be rooted.
You can see it with the app CPU-Z in System section if you see bootloader : no, you can't root
I was just about to unlock the bootloader to try to dump the recovery.img and use that to create a twrp image.
But there is a big warning saying:
Before you download, install, and use the Unlock Device App (“Service”), you understand that you need to take all risks in terms of quality and performance of the Service, including but not limited to: once you trigger the Service, you’re not able to recover your ASUS products to the original status at the time of manufacturing (“Original Product”) anymore. Original Products which is used with the Service (“Changed Product”) will no longer be regarded as the Original Products. The software updates will not be available to the Changed Product, and the digital content in the Changed Product may no longer be used. (...)

Does this mean I would not get security updates and later the Android 13? I only want to get twrp to be able to root the device. but losing the OS updates would be a big no-no.
Are those who have unlocked it getting updates? Can anyone confirm this?
