hello guys, so basically i have a used Honor 5X and it's bricked with a boot loop, i have access to fastboot mode, but i can't flash anything unless i unlock the bootloader, to unlock the bootloader i need to register in emui website, but i don't have the imei nor the serial number of the phone it's now written in the back of the phone, is there a way to get this information using fastboot or some other method, i basically want to unlock the bootloader to flash boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and cust.img
looking forward for your help guys i'm really stuck

Wow, that's a long guide. Is the main/only reason to unlock the bootloader to install custom roms (can't this be done with just root access?).
I have root, but don't really wish to install custom roms. I don't have the bootloader unlocked, but I know it can be unlocked
why to unlock bootloader?
why to unlock bootloader?
1. u can flash custom ROMs/Kernels
2. u dont need to worry if the new firmware can be rooted or not as with unlocked bootloader u can always ROOT ur device
3. Sony gives sneak-peaks/preview builds of latest OS which requires unlocked bootloaders, as they did with Xperia 2011/2012 line, so who knows may be Sony may give early builds of next android OS
Best guide I found online. Thanks!

I think it would be wise to mention not to forget to backup TA partition with DRM keys before bootloader unlock.
Thank you very much. This tutorial covered all the issues I ran into so I knew what to do.
Btw, the .bat for allowing unsigned drivers doesn't work on Windows 8. A quick google search helped me but maybe you might want to add that to your tutorial for other, less techy users.

if your bootloader can't be unlocked it means that you can root your device, but won't be able to install any custom firmware. But you can install XZDR recovery.
Once you get the bootloader unlocked what is the root method? Also, is there a different process for flashing roms?

to root device you don't have to unlock bootloader. Unlocking is for installing custom ROMs.
That I understand. Thank you. I was asking since i already unlocked the bootloader and am unrooted. What is the process to gain root at this point?

Use Flashtool. It can automatically unlock bootloader. Only unlock code 0xFBCD6A2B26CB8F88 is needed.
Cant figure out which file to replace and where it is. Can get my tab to recognize in adb devices mode but nothing is coming up when i type fastboot devices in adb. It is not recognized. I am stuck. Any help will be appreciated. I have got unlock code and the usb inf file but no light further.

your phone is trashed, send it back to Honor for repair
unlock will not work because of no imei and you can't flash oeminfo with a locked bootloader
you would also need a backup of Your oeminfo to restore on the phone, no other will work

If you are the same op from the other thread. I don't understand how you flashed something and then relocked the bootloader. Just curious.

the phone actually re-locks itself when it detects the imei has been tampered with
I think it is part of the erecovery built into the device

That seems odd and interesting at the same time. So isn't this basically a brick then. I don't see how you would be able to flash anything else without unlocking the bootloader again. Seems like maybe op tried to flash the wrong device stock ROM and it borked the system.

Hello,
situation ist this:
Cyanogen Recovery is installed and there is no rom on the phone. But it won't install a new one through apply update. So I tried installing twrp through fast boot. But it failed with:
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)
So i tried to unlock it which gave me:
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is disabled)
oem devices gave me tampered = false and unlocked = false
What can I do.
Would appreciate help
Morishno
Flash stock recovery and try unlock again.
Dumb Question but how exactly do I do that?
Just flash it via fast boot? And where do i get it?

You dont need to be sorry, thats okay i jus asked... Maybe OP didnt enable oem unlocking.
I didnt enable oem unlocking because it wasnt necessary. The device was unlocked and twrp and cyanogenmod were installed. But somehow cyanogen recovery was installed. Super user was away and I tried to reinstall it. Not knowing the recovery had changed I chose twrp/cwm to install it what resulted in a boot loop. No problem I thought just flash a ROM which didn't worked. No problem just flash a proper recovery it didn't worked. And somehow the device is locked again..
Sorry I was little brief when I said flash stock recovery. I believe if you revert back completely stock you can start the process from the beginning again. That would mean fastboot flash stock recovery then any firmware of OnePlus X. I'm not sure how a bootloader can relock itself.

Found a hard brick guide. You mean that?
So I just remembered something was able to help someone else with a similar issue. If you can boot Into something and your rooted download the app Rashr. With it you can flash stock recovery and be back in business.
The problem is i dont have anything to Boot
//UPDATE: So I tried booting with fastboot boot but it said cannot boot device isn't unlocked.
Edited
So i managed to save the Phone using the Hard Brick Guide. Thanks everyone!
Thank goodness for the hard brick guide. ?

Can Anybody help me ?
I have a rooted and unlocked Mate 10 Pro.
But with the new Update , i can't downgrade Play Service.... I need this for a Game.
Now i need to downgrade to a lower version.
Thanks for help.
P.s.: I search in the Forum , but the most is search for downgrade from EMUI 8 to 7 or 9 to 8.
The lowest version you can downgrade to is B146 (Assuming you are on BLA-L29C432B156), using firmware from androidhost.ru.
OR flash images manually through TWRP, this way you could downgrade to first build if you wanted to xD
Just don't flash XLOADER.img as you are on new xloader. Flashing one from B145 or earlier will brick your phone.

For flash with TWRP you must need "BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" and you know very wel that's service is Down from time.
So you guide NOT help for nothing.

Ok now i want do a question to you.
Sinche i've all professional tool for Extract and Flash also each single partition in Upgrade mode w/o unlocked bootloader, have one BLA-L09 C432 in B158.
If i flash the B143 C432 w/o Xloader partition, phone will not boot or boot having same B156 version?
My customer mistaked this device flashing Ram Disk, (Loader) + OEMINFO by TESTPOINT and have lost IMEI. So, i was searching a way for Downgrade and do Imei Repair, but there writed in all side that's impossible Downgrade from B156 or earlier...you have solution?

Easiest way, in my opinion, would be to just flash board firmware. Since he already has testpoint available?
Then you can repair imeis and that while on board using HCU. You can not get back original oeminfo though unless he has a backup of it.
But imeis that phone uses will be repaired, and you can still unlock using HCU's get unlock code button. Original code, if he got it through Huawei, will not be usable though.
Here's a guide for using HCU and steps to take, any deviation from these steps will result in no imei or no network.
1)Flash oeminfo (own backup) from fastboot
2)Backup modemnvm_system, modemnvm_factory and modemnvm_backup using adb pull from a command prompt (/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemnvm_system and so on)
3)Flash backed up modemnvm_system, modemnvm_factory and modemnvm_backup from fastboot
3)Modify and brand with HCU (check everything but those that erase/flash empty board) (remember to fill vendor and cust)
4)Unlock sim with HCU
5)Read Bootloader code if you ever used HCU to get code before
6)Download and flash service firmware from androidhost.ru using a OTG cable and a memory stick
For step 1 you should be able to just backup and flash the existing oeminfo in phone as it's already using someone elses (DC's oeminfo flash will just download an oeminfo from their server and flash it, so you get someone elses oeminfo).
Hi, I'm trying to relock my phone but I can't get it to boot, 1 logo and Android logo below appear and then it shuts down and reboot to this screen again and finally I end up in recovery. If I unlock my phone I can get it to boot properly.
I suspect a wrong vbmeta. I'm on A14, I've searched everywhere trying to find the appropriate one, but no one works.
Any help?
Hi,
Did you read this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/stuck-on-red-dot-twrp-screen.4405605/
I had the same problem and tried everything but IMPOSSIBLE to relock bootloader.
Out of last hope, I tried to flash all the partitions of A17 with mtkclient but my phone was then completely bricked (couldnt even access to fastboot or the chinese error message)
Send it to oneplus customer service and they fixed it for free. It would be so nice to have an unbrick tool or a relock bootloader method (the one with mtkclient presented on this forum doesn't seem to work all the time)

Yes I read that but that's not exactly the same. I wasn't stuck at this boot logo, I mean the red dot. I was stuck "before".
Anyway I've fixed it.
I've fixed the problem.
Originaly I was rooted on A14. I've managed to update to A17 while rooted.
Then I relock the bootloader with the tutorial you can find on the forum.
I had multiple issues rooted. My phone seems much more stable now relocked.
I think all the issues I had where caused by inapropriate boot.img or vbmeta.img.
It can be tricky sometimes to find these files matching your oos version.
