Make sure you’ve backed up all of your IMPORTANT DATA before unlocking/relocking bootloader
I am not responsible for bricked devices and dead SD cards. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
First and foremost, please install ZenFone 3 Deluxe Drivers via Device Manager (Download drivers on ASUS Support Website)
1)Download the Factory RAW ROM here:
ZS570KL:
ZS570KL Pro:
2) Download ASUS Flash Tool here:
3) Flash the firmware via ASUS Flash Tool by entering FASTBOOT MODE (Power Button + Volume Up) & DO NOT WIPE DATA!
Note: If you flash RAW firmware via ASUS Flash Tool and received an error (FRP request error), just IGNORE the error.
4) Enter FASTBOOT mode (Power Off + Volume Up)
UNLOCKING
5)
• Open Command Prompt/Windows Powershell
• Now copy and paste this: fastboot devices
• If it shows serial number of your ZenFone 3 Deluxe, you are good to go
• Now copy and paste this: fastboot oem unlock-go
• After that, re-enter FASTBOOT mode and paste this: fastboot oem device-info
Congratulations, your device has been unlocked unofficially. (You can see the "Device State: unlocked" on Command Prompt/Windows Powershell)
RELOCKING
5)
• Open Command Prompt/Windows Powershell
• Now copy and paste this: fastboot devices
• If it shows serial number of your ZenFone 3 Deluxe, you are good to go
• Now copy and paste this: fastboot flashing lock
• After that, re-enter FASTBOOT mode and paste this: fastboot oem device-info
Congratulations, your device has been locked (You can see the "Device State: locked" on Command Prompt/Windows Powershell)
P.S: If you unlocked officially and you want to relock your bootloader, OTA does not work because your Serial Number has been recorded by ASUS.
6) After that, download the stock RAW ROM here and flash it via ASUS Flash Tool (FASTBOOT Mode) (Turn on WIPE DATA):
ZS570KL:
ZS570KL Pro:
If anything, contact me via Telegram
Note: If you flash RAW firmware via ASUS Flash Tool and received an error (FRP request error), just IGNORE the error.
Note: If it asks for PIN after booting up, just wipe data & cache via Recovery Mode (Power Button + Volume Down).
So if i unlocked officially and relock with this method i can't get ota updates anyway?

Sorry English not my first language .
Well, you need to do the following:
1- Download the firmware from here
then extract the file to get the "dload" folder.
2-Get sdcard and use card reader so your pc be able to read it as a flash stick.
3- copy "dload" folder to sdcard, then insert it into your device.
4- Get into the recovery mode,
by completely turning off your device, then press (Vlo. UP + power) buttons, wait the device vibs, release the power button and keep "vol. up" one, till you get into the recovery mode.
and from the list, chose "upgrade from sdcard" option (the last one), and your device will start re-installing the whole system again.

What did you do to get your device like that?
Generally you will find the IMEI of your device on label sticker comes with the device box, usually between the manual's pages.
Try this method to unlock the bootloader, it MIGHT work, i'm not sure, but give it a try
Get into fastboot mode (Vol. down + power) then
type this code:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock 1282022012246616

Not sure if you still have this thread in notification, but I'm having the exact same issue as the OP.
Model - S10-231u
IMEI: 863693023231929
S/N: K8D6R14B03000379
Hope you can calculate a code to unlock it, I'm ready to test or flash anything if you need me to do so.
I have the same problem and can not find a solution to it today so I hope you help
I unfortunately can not find the imei number
I have an SN number and a mac number
Either the device number S10-231w
I hope you can solve my friends
This guide is to help you recover from “The system has destroyed screen” on Redmi Note 7 Pro
I presume the bootloader is unlocked on your device.
The things you need are (Links are provided below):
1: VB meta and Peter’s TWRP (zip)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kd9H2cBsjkN-9oa2_6Sj8OlXLTfpRjNN
2: Platform tools (latest)
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Install Platform Tools to windows
First turn off the phone, and put it to fastboot mode by pressing the “Power button" and holding the "Volume down button" and release them when the fastboot mode screen appears.
Connect the phone to PC by USB cable, Place the “vbmeta.img” in a folder, hold shift and right click the blank space in the folder and select “Open powershell window here” (command prompt for windows 7)
Type fastboot devices and enter , you will see your device in the list.
Enter the command “fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img” and press enter.
After flashing vb meta, Its time to flash TWRP to retain the ability to flash rom again. To do that, place the “recovery.img” file in the same folder as “vbmeta.img”. open the powershell again by the method above, enter the command “fastboot devices” to ensure the device is connected. After that, enter the command “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”, you will get success message below.
Now hold the “Power button” and “Volume up Button” and release the “Power button” as soon as the redmi logo appears while still holding the “Volume up button” till the twrp logo appears.
Flash Rom and you are set.
If you are trying to flash MIUI,
Download latest MIflash tool here and install it on windows.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195900328
Download latest fastboot rom for Note 7 Pro from below link and place the folder on desktop
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Open MIflash tool and put device to fastboot (steps to boot to fastboot are above), connect to pc via USB, click the refresh button on the flash tool and start.
The tool takes approx 400-500 seconds to complete , once its finished it will show in a green coloured text that its successfully completed.
Enjoy
DISCLAIMER
* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...).
* Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it!

i tried but after this step
Enter the command “fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img” and press enter.
it gives error disable verity unknown command. if i use fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img it flashes sucessfully, i then install custom recovery and that flashess correctly too but when booting to recovery it still says system destoyed.
I recovered from the same issue with a newer fastboot version and LOS Twrp

I got this same issue and then I downloaded the newer fastboot from a third party site. I assume you would had installed ADB and Fastboot systemwide(The one that requires Y as an answer and runs in blue command prompt) That one is like 1.3. You need to install a newer fastboot for this command to work.
I am not sure which one was it that I had but I am adding the link to the same. Newer Fastboot and added vbmeta
Also, I didn't install the Peter's Recovery because I was installing Lineage OS and used the recover_twistloop with wrappedkey for the same
Original Thread Here: LinegaOS16_RN7Pro
One more important thing: I didn't use "fasboot boot <recovery>" for it. I turned off the device and then used "Power Key + Volume Up". At first it didn't work but after one reboot it worked, and this is the only method I am using to go into recovery NOT VIA FASTBOOT or from inside the system. You can try it but it didn't work.
“fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img”
P.S: I thought it was verify the first time I saw it.
Also, I really hope you are not going to install MIUI either via Fastboot or Recovery. If you are going to do check roll-back protection. First check your current roll back index and check the rollback in fastboot folder of the Fasboot ROM that you are going to install. More details here. WARNING. MUST READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU ARE THINKING OF RE-FLASHING MIUI/EUMIUI AT ANY POINT OF TIME.
You will be doomed if you didn't read this. And not in a usual way like a bricked phone. You will need to visit the service center and maybe a month wait for the device to get fixed
Thanks for replying. I downloaded fastboot rom and flashed that with clear all and lock option.
Unlocked again, installed evolution rom and even tried aosipderpfest but whenever I tried installing magisk or after reboot phone stuck on phone is starting and it won't start, I can access settings but nothing else.
Finally wooed everything, installed EU rom then evolution rom. Then magisk now everything is smooth.
I installed the latest IN Global firmware
Now I have the message
"This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" and the unlock is gone
Now when I try with XiaoMiFlash I have error: "Flash xbl error"
And miunlock says 99% This device is not bound to this account
I don't know what to do now

Xbk eror is related to baseband lock. I saw one video where following was mentioned
Put phone in fastboot mode
In adb use command fastboot oemlock
After that reboot and follow the miflash method with bottom option erase and lock selected. You need to download fastboot rom.
After you set up the device again. Go to developer settings and enable oem unlock and bind the account from there
(bootloader) Device is already locked!
"Flash xbl error"
I tried
violet_images_V10.3.10.0.PFHCNXM_20190725.0000.00_9.0_cn
violet_images_V10.2.5.0.PFHCNXM_20190316.0000.00_9.0_cn

I tried to go back to miui11 from pixel experience(10) by flashing a fastboot rom using mi flashtool (clean and lock). the result of flashing is shown as successful but the device is not booting, instead it is showing 'the system has been destroyed'. i tried unlock the device using mi unlock and it unlocked succesfully and booted succesfully . then i locked the device using the command 'fastboot oem lock' and rebooted. but the eroor 'the system has been destroyed is coming'. after several attempts i found that locking bootloader is causing the error. can anybody tell why is this happening and way to succesfully lock my bootloader.

i am getting the same error
I have two Redmi Note 7 Pro devices. (Global Devices - A.K.A Indian Variant)
first device is unlocked but no custom rom installed like ever
second device is unlocked with lots of custom rom history
While trying to relock my bootloader with MIFLASH (clean all and lock) and Global firmware 11.0.8
First device firmware flash worked perfectly and bootloader is set to lock state - (Widevine status is L1 )
Second device as stated in OP . Flashing success but device showing "SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESTROYED". If i unlock the bootloader of the device then it boots normally but device is in unlock state (widevine status L3)
I think some modifications might have happened to some system partitions which causes the VBMETA - SRCLIST check failure.
ANY DEVS PLEASE LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE ...
Yeah someone out there I"m trying to relock bootloader bcoz to get access to my corporate mails , netflix HD content and GPAY
(On other hand magisk is having CTS profile check failure as google changed the approach to check the unmodified system)
Can't find any custom ROMs for this device. I guess it is too early. I'll probably have to get another phone. Can't even find a twrp for it. New to this. Any suggestions?

You can root it and use Magisk to clean things up but no de-Googling. Check out the thread.
Any device that launched with Android 8 or newer is compatible with GSIs. Any device that launched with Android 10 or newer use super.img, which require the extra step of repacking rather than flashing directly. This is what I would recommend if you want ROM support on a brand new device.

You can use a Treble system Image! <See below for files>
To flash,
Step #1: Use the treble info app to see if your phone supports treble (Optional, I know the moto g play 2021 is compatible)
Step #2: Download any treble OS from here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/ (Or use files below)
Step #3: Download 15-second adb installer (I Prefer this because its fast than searching for drivers) Download Here: https://androiddatahost.com/wp-content/uploads/15_Second_ADB_Installer_v1.3.0.zip
Step #3.5: I assume you enabled oem unlock and bootloader, but if not, instructions are below
Step #4: Unlock your bootloader
(Step #1: Enable OEM by going to about phone and tap build number 7 times (I'm sure you know the rest )
Step #2 Hold Vol down, (While holding Vol down) connect to PC.
Step #3: Go to https://accounts.motorola.com/ssoau...ct/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
Sign into google or moto id, and follow steps to get unlock code (For bootloader unlock))
WARNING!! DATA ON DEVICE IS GONE!! WARANTY NOW VOID!!
Step #5: Run the command in CMD (as admin): adb devices (Starts ADB service)
Then run: fastboot devices (Your device should be connected)
Then run: fastboot oem unlock <unlock code here> (From website provided)
Then: You should get a message saying: Warning Blah Blah Blah. Just read the message

Now, if I were to download a rom from the site, would it be A only? B? A/B?
They are all A/B, just check the filenames. If you read the release notes, they state there is no A-only build yet.

You can use a Treble system Image! <See below for files>
To flash,
Step #1: Use the treble info app to see if your phone supports treble (Optional, I know the moto g play 2021 is compatible)
Step #2: Download any treble OS from here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/ (Or use files below)
Step #3: Download 15-second adb installer (I Prefer this because its fast than searching for drivers) Download Here: https://androiddatahost.com/wp-content/uploads/15_Second_ADB_Installer_v1.3.0.zip
Step #3.5: I assume you enabled oem unlock and bootloader, but if not, instructions are below
Step #4: Unlock your bootloader
(Step #1: Enable OEM by going to about phone and tap build number 7 times (I'm sure you know the rest )
Step #2 Hold Vol down, (While holding Vol down) connect to PC.
Step #3: Go to https://accounts.motorola.com/ssoauth/login?TARGET=https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/cc/cas/sso/redirect/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
Sign into google or moto id, and follow steps to get unlock code (For bootloader unlock))
WARNING!! DATA ON DEVICE IS GONE!! WARANTY NOW VOID!!
Step #5: Run the command in CMD (as admin): adb devices (Starts ADB service)
Then run: fastboot devices (Your device should be connected)
Then run: fastboot oem unlock <unlock code here> (From website provided)
Then: You should get a message saying: Warning Blah Blah Blah. Just read the message
DONE! (Should reboot to factory settings)
Step #6: Turn device off, then hold Vol down, and connect to PC
Step #1: Make sure to have put the <imagename>.img you downloaded earlier in the adb folder in your windows local disk (and renamed it to "system.img" to make flashing easier)
Step #7: Reboot to fastbootd by running: "fastboot reboot fastboot" in CMD

I haven't been able to get my sim card to be detected, is this a known issue or am I missing something?
Download your stock rom and flash radio.img to restore cell signal

Make sure you have the current version of fastboot, AND that it's the one that you're using. Ran into that problem mysself, updated my PATH incorrectly and had it pointing to the wrong fastboot.exe.
first of i apologise if i have bad english
ok so i had this device for some time and decited to root it (my first time rooting a phone). And i need to unlock bootloader to flash stuff and i have all necessary things on my pc (platform tools,drivers,) everything seems to be working but as soon as i get into bootloader the only command that works is "fastboot devices" Any other commands dont work. I tried everything online and this is my only other thing left to do. I've been researching for 2 days at this point and i am almost certain that the commands are disabled by the company itself (like huawei) did anybody else ever root/unlock bootloader for this device because i didnt find any actual root guide for the particular device (besides from the auto generated ones like https://rootguia.com/how-to-flash-caterpillar-cat-s31/ https://mobilewithdrivers.com/unlock-bootloader/cat-s31-16gb-2gb-ram )
The exact error is:
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
(and this error is for every single command that uses fastboot besides from fastboot devices. Adb works just fine)
I tried:
reinstalling drivers
installing drivers that are "prepared" for the cat s31
changing cable
changing port to usb 2.0
reinstalling platform tools (from official google site)
checking device manager for the device (it shows up as android bootloader interface)
trying alternative oem unlock commands (fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flashing unlock and 2 other commands that i cant remember rn)
having oem unlocking and usb debugging enabled from the developer options
in my opinion the only explanation is the commands being disabled by default and even if it was it wouldnt be known if it was since most people dont root or purchase this device
please help me out here
fastboot flashing unlock
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
or
command finished but unlocking not allowed?
you can try to dump ROM, maybe it's possible to unlock bootloader on devinfo partition

sorry i forgot to mention im running android 8.1 oreo on this device and devinfo partition method will not work according to what i read
Never mind. anyway, if you dump phone in edl mode (or download stock ROM somewhere else) you can search aboot for device specific fastboot oem commands
How to Discover Hidden Fastboot Commands
There are many hidden fastboot commands on your device. In order to find them, we will need to dump the bootloader and examine the contents!

what do you mean by dump phone into edl mode do i download one of these https://ministryofsolutions.com/2022/01/cat-s31-edl-firmware-android-8-1-official-rom.html and install it from recovery mode and try to get it in edl mode and will it not work if i dont dump
just extract that ROM you found

and do what. im new to the rooting stuff
find the file aboot.mbn (or similar) and analyze for fastboot commands

so i downloaded the file and these are the things in the firmware file (attachement)
i cant find a file that looks or resambles aboot.mbn
it's emmc_appsboot.mbn so download strings for windows (see link post #4) and try to find fastboot commands, maybe you are lucky and find the proper command to unlock bootloader.
edit: not sure about Windows 10/11 comes with strings binary (powershell?)

sooo turns out win11 strings commands are kinda different or broken (probably not im just dumb) i just used notepad with ctrl+f and couldnt find anything besides the text that says are you sure you want to unlock bootloader but that is probably not related since i didnt find any commands or anything. So im actually going to attach the emmc_appsboot.mbn i know it looks sketchy you dont have to download it its totally understandable but if you do please do give it a check and respond. I want to get this done one way or another its 1 am i want to sleep ;(
could it be true that they made a truly un unlockable unrootable device
I had a look but there are no fastboot commands in it. However "oem unlock" is mentioned, so the usual fastboot oem unlock should work.
maybe there is more in secondary bootloader sbl1.mbn

trust me i have tried many many many many times and only got a
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
edit: the only place oem unlock is mentioned is a text that says oem unlock not allowed which might be default text by android or whatever but cat devs somehow messed it up somehow??

just saw the edit i will check now
nope nothing related no oem unlock no fastboot no flashing no flash nothing is mentioned ill attach it if you want to look
oem unlock not allowed is standard text if one forgot to enable oem unlocking in developer options in android settings.
maybe flash this ROM maybe it is unlockable?

from recovery using the flash firmware with adb option??
edit: i meant apply update from adb
edit2: what if i hard reset from recovery would that reset the firmware?
edl firmware cannot flashed from recovery. power off phone, press both volume keys and plug in usb-cable. check VID/PID from windows device manager. if you see device ID (05c6:9008) the phone is in EDL mode. you can now use EDL tool (post #2) and backup current ROM. then you can flash other ROM.
