i hv lyf f1 device i want to unlock bootloader.i hv enable oem unlocking but whenever i try fastboot oem unlock in fast boot it replies FAILED (remote: unknown command). i hv also tried fastboot oem unlock-go and fastboot flashing unlock but nothing working.kindly help me how to unlock it
From what I know, LYF phones are just rebranded ZTE phones.
You can try to find which model of ZTE is your phone (look up ZTE phones with similar configuration). Once you are able to track down the exact model, then you can start looking into unlocking.

CF-Auto-Root can root many devices,I have found a Samsung device named "Samsung Galaxy C5" which is similar to LYF F1 in that its Platform is MSM8952 , CPU is Octa-core (4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.2 GHz Cortex-A53) and GPU is Adreno 405.If any one can take the risk then he/she can try this link

Good news for all the users of LYF F1 who want to have twrp and root access.
I found the stock rom at link "http://www.smartfirmwares.com/forum1/index.php?topic=189.0"
I extracted the stock rom and got the stock recovery,then I got the twrp recovery of ZTE Axon 7 Mini.
I ported the twrp by replacing only the zImage from the stock to the twrp,and kept the ramdisk the same in twrp.
It booted up well but I got a error that twrp could not mount any partition except the recovery.
I then got the twrp of Moto G4 Plus,but the twrp did not have the ramdisk,it only contains zImage,so I could not port it.
I then got the twrp of Samsung Galaxy C5 and ported it in the same way,but it put the phone into recovery bootloop,phone was booting into twrp,then switching off,then again booting to twrp,at one moment when phone was switched off for one second,I flashed again the previous working recovery.
I then ported the twrp recovery of ZTE Axon Max but it gave the same error that it could not mount any partition except the recovery.
Then I ported the twrp recovery of ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini and this one was successfull without any error,but the recovery was in chinese.I can not remember the whole thing but the first window appeared in front,I touched the lower right conrer and changed the language to english,since then everything is in english.The link of that recovery is "https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2iZIwRNj3bpaEl3dWR1eXRsalk" and password is "Created-by-Tarasantan"
Now How did I flashed the twrp,I downloaded and extracted the stock rom,then I found a "_qcMUP.zip" within the zip "LYF F1 LS-5505 TOOL & DRIVERS.zip",then extracted the zip _qcMUP.zip,there in the support folder I found some windows softwares,I ran all of them to install the drivers and neccessary files.
Then in the "LYF F1 LS-5505 PC SW VER 01_06 By Gsm_F!rmwares_Tm" folder I replaced the stock "recovery.img" with the twrp "recovery.img".And then I ran the "qcMUP.exe" in the _qcMUP folder which I previously extracted.
Now I clicked the do button in the upper right corner of "qcMUP.exe",then clicked upgrade,then I selected the "LYF F1 LS-5505 PC SW VER 01_06 By Gsm_F!rmwares_Tm" folder.
Now I switched off the phone,then I pressed and hold volume up and down at the same time,and pluged the phone into the computer and the flashing started on qcMUP.exe window with a light blue bar filling up with a deep blue colour as the flashing was going on.
This will clear all the apps and data you previously have had in your internal memory.So you can back up all the installed app with es filexplorer,or super backup,and all the contacts and smses with super backup,then you must move all the backed up things and other neccessary things to the sd card.At the end put the latest supersu.zip in your sd card.
The next part is very important,when flashing is passed,you will unplug the phone from the computer,then press and hold the power and the volume up at the same time.You will be booted up into twrp then somehow change the language to english from chinese,then flash the supersu.zip from your sd card,if you do not boot into twrp and flash the supersu.zip then whenever you will boot into the system,the twrp recovery will be replaced with the stock recovery,when you flash the supersu.zip,it patches the boot.img so that it does not replace the twrp recovery with the stock.
This is the end of the post.Good Bye.

Hey guys,
I got my RN3 a month ago and since last 2 weeks i am trying to unlock the bootloader using the official method.
I had asked MI for permission and I got it within 3 days. Now since 2 week I am trying to unlock the bootloader but I keep getting the error on MIUnlock "Couldn't verify Device".
I am using the latest MIUnlock version.
I have searched extensively for a solution to the problem but unfortunately all the work arounds are not working for me.
I have tried it on the stock ROM that the phone came with.
The latest stable global ROM from MI V7.3.7.0. MIUI7
The beta global ROM from MI MIUI8
Same error everywhere. The process stops at 50%.
I am skeptical to try the unofficial method since it could brick my phone. But may go through with it if there is no other option.
Basically I want to root the phone and flash a CM13 ROM.
Please help me out
Thanks
Mine had said the same error failed at 50% - mine shipped with miui V7.3.6.0 (some vendor firmware I guess), here is what I did to fix it.
I have the redmi note 3 pro so this will apply only for the kenzo (snapdragon version)- I am not familiar with the mediatek one.
1. Install Xiao Mi Flash (beta) , then boot the phone into fast boot mode (from power off state - hold vol down + power until you see it say fast boot.), in Mi Flash at the bottom select clean all
2. extract the kenzo "fast boot" firmware
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (find the firmware in the list)
IE:
Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot
(kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global)
3. Select the extracted firmware folder in the Mi Flash program, hook the phone up and you should see it in the list, then click flash to flash it.. (this will erase all data)
after it finishes let it boot up it might take 10-15 minutes, then you can try to unlock it again, at this point it should pass now verification and unlock officially. - after success let it reboot again and it might take another 10-15 minutes to finish up.
(this is because it clears the phone data so it has to re-optimize all the apps).
do at own risk it worked for me but due to all the various methods the vendors use to flash this phone who knows if it will work for everyone...

hello,
i am not able to use miflash(beta) due to some qualcomm driver error because i am on 32 bit system. Instead i am using miflash 2015 10.28.0 which have 3 options like flash all, flash all except storage ,flash all except data and storage.which one to choose?
look at the image i have attached for your reference
first I suggest installing the Mi PC Suite (just to get the correct drivers installed), then try XiaoMiFlash again
http://en.miui.com/thread-92720-1-1.html
here is the Xiao Mi Flash I used.
http://en.miui.com/thread-281979-1-1.html
MiFlashSetup-Beta.zip (29.53 MB, Downloads: 96818)
I had to link my phone first before the Unlock tool would work. So login into you Mi Account on the phone first.
I had the same problem because i hadnt installed the miui dev rom yet..
the only solution is flashing DEV ROM
it worked for me
Please kindly refer to the thread and read the details steps and instructions because it seems like everyone is trying to hit the unlock procedure without knowing that the stable(global) version of the ROM is not apt for the official or any unofficial unlock procedure !
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DISABLED DRIVER SIGNATURE VERIFICATION IN YOUR SYSTEM.
Unlocking Bootloader Procedure:
1. Download zip file (recovery file) of OFFICIAL MIUI China developer ROM for your device :
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.12.8/miui_HM3SGlobal_6.12.8_b00ffce744_6.0.zip
Please don't get confused with the link as it's indeed a Developer ROM by 'global' in between the link and not the Global stable ROM, you can check it yourself.
Other ROM would not work. Then put it into phone storage. Go to Updater app, press the three dot on upper right corner, and select 'Choose update package'. Choose the zip file you just put in phone storage. The update will wipe all user data, please make backup beforehand.
2. Log into the Mi account which has acquired unlocking permission on your device. Make sure it's the same with the account you sent your request. It's recommended to connect to the Internet for Mi account to sync
3. Turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume - button at the same time to enter bootloader mode
4. Log into the unlocking tool on PC with the same Mi account. Connect the device with the PC using USB cable
5. Press 'Unlock'. The unlocking process will complete in about 10 seconds
For those who already bricked your devices you may using Mi PC SUITE to reflash your device.You are advised to download it to install necessary files (ADB and so on) .
Hi... as far as i know.. you need to be on the same rom from which you have applied for bootloader unlock..
i bought new redmi 3s last week.. and same day applied for unlock... and when going through different threads.. lot of people saying that we need to be in developer rom or Chinese rom to unlock boot loader..so i downloaded global developer and installed it..
with in 2 days i got confirmation from xiaomi that i have permission for unlock.. to my bad.. every time i tried to unlock boot loader its stuck at 50% with current device information is different error..
so finally decided to downgrade to the same version from which i applied for unlocking.. so tried Deep flash cable method to put phone in qualcom loader to bypass bootloader... and installed same global stable version.. after successfully installing stable version tried unlocking.. and voila... bootloader unlocked with in 10 Seconds...without any hitch...
So if you want to unlock bootloader... wait for atleast 7 days after you get confirmation message from xiaomi...

Yes, glad someone else noticed it too. Yes I had trouble for a lot of days with developer ROM after getting permission a week back but no luck.
PS: Disabling Driver Signature Verification is paramount in this process.

sorry ,, the for the useless google drive broken links ,, i will update the links now
I updated all,,links now u see
This is fantastic. I'm using the t-mobile version. It's excellent, but I'm having a problem with wifi. Does anyone have any recommendations?
change ur wifi region in router webpage to north america and see
i tested this,, this both zips 5 to 6 times ,,but there is no problem for me ,,
go to ur router webpage ,,,and change ur wifi region to north america ,,and then ur phone will start detecting ur region
even i use to change my wifi region in router page to north america,,the my wifi started working
u follow this link here for ur problem :- https://youtu.be/IJ6Vj9_S4QE
So, i was working on an lg k7 and was told to remove the factory reset protection. Which that is apart of the set up wizard for lg so I removed that. Yes it was rooted. But, when I rebooted the device It said security error, authentication error #9 (modification). Ok, so I researched and it is fixable, but the lg download tool will not find the device. The download driver screen goes to 100% and I left it there for a couple hours and theres nothing. and the same exit button remains. I have tried the kdz download and that didnt work either. tried odin or twrp, which twrp is already on the device, but I cannot access anything. Any help with this? been working on it for weeks and its nothing but a head ache.
one thing u did completely wrong process,, setup wizard is a part of LG OS ,,IF U REMOVE IT WILL BREAK UR OS
THE MAIN REASON WHY YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY IS THIS ONE :- [KERNEL/RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING] ON BOOT ,, IF U REMOVE IT FROM BOOT IMG ,THEN IT WILL MAKE U TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY,, AS IT WILL PROTECT U TO BOOT INTO CUSTOM TWRP RECOVERY ,,SO ULTIMATELY U NEED ONE [KERNEL/RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING] ON BOOT ,,REMOVED BOOT IMG
So, how do I obtain that one kernal/recovery and flash it on that phone?
Thank you for the quick and detailed reply.
My router is set up correctly.
I also have two identical LG K7 devices. The only difference is that one has your rom and the other is rooted stock.
The one without your rom can connect to Wifi with no issue.
The other one cannot. I enable Wifi and it hangs, as does Bluetooth. The Wifi Icon flashes consistently. Bluetooth just gives an error and goes off.
I believe that another member is having a similar issue, as posted here.
First of all ,,u unlock it boot loader ,,,boot up it android
Go to settings
,,after that go to software info
,,then after go to about phone,and,, Tap the build number until u see you are a developer message
Get into developer options now
Then enable USB debbuging and OEM unlock
Then download Android SDK platform tools
After that open a command windows ,,on the directory where u extracted adb ,,now type adb devices ,,,u will get one pop up like allow RSA key in it phone,,u just allow it,,
Now type command :- adb reboot bootloader
After that it will reboot bootloader,,note bootloader unlock commands are present on the display of the mobile
Note if it device does not support bootloader unlock ,,then it will not allow ur phone into bootloader
After that root ur phone with kingroot or kingroot
Then use flashify to flah twrp

Hi all,
Wishing you all a happy New Year in arrears and the very best for the next 12 months.
I've got a problem with my device, its a STF-AL10 model with international rom bought during the November Sales.
It came with STF-L09C432B150 installed, I got the bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted with Magisk and was working fine except the capacitive buttons.
I thought I could live without capacitive buttons but I didn't work out and I had the urge to find a solution. After some intensive reseach (48hrs on a weekend in my 'lab') it seems the B120 firmware had no issues with the capacitive buttons, so I tried to downgrade to that and thats when the problems started.
Coming from an ancient Sony Z2, I never had issues flashing ROMS, Kernels and the sort as it was almost always easily done in TWRP or CWM (I had a Multi boot thing going, so I chose which recovery I fancied!). Anyway this are my issues now:
- Obviously, my phone was rebranded at origin as I know for sure AL-10 is not for EU market
- I tried restoring the same STF-L09C432B150 (rollback package found on XDA) with DC-Unlocker (wasted 19 Euro) but did not work. Always stops at 5% near end of flashing.
- Tried B130. same error.
- Tried Chinese STF-AL10C00B110. Same error.
- Tried full board flash for STF-AL10 with all DC Phoenix files. Same error.
- Tried forced method with files on a Sandisk SDcard (64GB) formatted to exFAT. Fails, wrong files.
- I noticed that in ADB, it said my bootloader was unlocked but FRP locked.
- After board flash, ADB said Bootloader unlocked (nothing about FRP) but in Muli-tool it says LOCKED.
- Now all ADB commands the write to the phone give errors.
DC-unlocker support keep on saying I should use the correct firmware for my phone, ok but the phone was rebranded at source...do use a Chinese firmware first then update ?
in desperation I did another full board flash but this time I think I wiped oeminfo and Vendor partions. ( I think this is what caused the HARD-BRICK!). Now no Honor logo, no Recovery, No eRecovery, nothing but a blank black screen. ADB still works but no status about bootloader or FRP.
IMEI has changed to 0123456789ABCDEF
You can all laugh and shake your heads which I will take as my punishment but is there a solution to all this, I'm willing to pay another 19 EUR for DC-Phoenix if it helps to fix my phone and if possible get it rooted with all buttons and functions working. That was my intension all along (I'm not really interested in custom Roms, just root access!).
HCU tool for some reason does not install on my computer, and besides, the phone does not boot into an OS to be able to change OEM and VENDOR data.
I even tried the HOTA.zip in the ReBRAND HONOR 9 thread but the file is missing (link down).
And to top it all there is no UK service center.
Please advise...
I think DC unlock is not supported for thì this model. Did Did you try Huawei Funky???
Apparently all versions of Honor 9 are supported by DC-unlocker and DC-Pheonix....

Try stock service B130 firmware:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/stf-l09c432b130-capacitive-buttons-100-t3729106
Instead of step 4 do forced upload: VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN + POWER
Hi,
I've managed to re flash b150. In doing so I got back recovery and erecovery but when you reach that final stage of the process the phone stops at 5%. When I reboot to recovery, factory reset stops at 35%
Any ideas
?

FRP status is not only on Chinese phones
you need to sew firmware for al10
The phone was rebounded by the shop I bought it from.
It said STF-L09B150 indexical info when the phone was working.
So if I'm going to repair this brick what update files should I use?
Original Chinese or the b150 used when rebranded?

Hi all,
FYI, I've sent the phone back to the shop I bought it from.
I'll take my chances, better than paying money for something that may not work.
Thanks everyone for showing interest in my situation, I let you all know how I get along with this issue.
Ps.: As a community, lets push Huawei/Honor to release Kernel Sources for this model and others like the P10 Plus.
Ps: Huawei/Honor have to realise that a strong developer community adds value and desirability to a product. That's how a product becomes 'Cool' translating into more revenue/customers/profit - eg OnePlus.
.
Hi all, a quick update .....
Sent the phone back and from what I gather the phone actually had an issue with the main board.
Now enjoying a brand new MATE 10 (Non-pro with 6/128gb) in beautiful Obsidian black.
Wonderful.
Back in december/january some users reported a glitch while rebranding STF-AL10 to STF-L09 with the old nougat hwota (at oem bin flashing step).
After editing hwota script, then rebranded : they ended with a FRP locked status.
Their only way to unlock frp was with dcunlocker or funkyhuawei I don't remember.
After frp unlocked, their bootloader wasn't seen through fastboot.
I think this could be solved by regedit a value in registry.
To my knowledge the only public firmware files working with the dload way (3 buttons + usb connected) are the one titled "service repair", the others one won't work dload as they are. They are for hwota or forcing "official" ota.
Hello Sirs/Ma'am,
Is there a way to flash Pocophone F1 without unlocking bootloader? My phone's update was interrupted and sent to Xiaomi Service Centers but they said it was hopeless unless they change it's motherboard.
My phone is now in bootloop and shows only whitescreen, I can only access the boot options (accessible by keys)
Tried flashing it but all tutorials I encounter requires me to unlock the bootloader. Tried unlocking it but I get the error "Current account is not bound to this device", I tried every account I had but It all didn't work.

Hi Im sorry forgot to mention my phone was in Bootloop Updated the thread
I think there is no other way to flash poco f1 without unlocking the bootloader. if you are flashing different ROM. but if not. try the flashing guide of using MiFlash tool there is instruction on how to flash using MiFlash.
back in old days by entrying in to EDL (redmi3s) you could replace boot.img (stock) with boot.img (twrp) in the extract .tgz file (3gb)
redmi3s goes to edl by pressing all 3 buttons 30 seconds
once you have twrp on locked bootloader you could flash other roms! since stock recovery is replaced
however later they made edl hard by short circuit test point method where back cover must be removed and two certain points to be touched by wire of motherboard and connecting usb wire to pc SIMULTAINEOUSLY
this method is valid till now! if you remove poco back panel it can go in to edl
but now flashing EDL requires AUTHORIZED account in Xiaomi flasher so its not possible anymore!
But this tool requires that ADB is enabled in developer options... If the phone is completely bricked or screen cracked... There is no way for me to enable it.
This is the reason I made this post.
