Relocked the bootloader now won't boot any more - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had my OPX running nicely with TWRP bootloader and AOSIP 8.1 rom, and then I went and relocked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" command. Now it just vibrates and flashes up the OP logo and "powered by Android" screen, and continuously reboots. Only thing I can do is hold the power button till it turns off. Holding the vol down button and power buttons aren't getting it back into fastboot state. What's the best way to recover from this state? Kind of hoping it's as simple as getting back in somehow and "fastboot oem unlock"?

OK, managed to recover it by getting into fastboot and unlocking the bootloader again. Bit of a relief. "Fastboot oem device-info" is now reporting device tampered as true, it was previously saying false. Is this different to being rooted? When I run a root check app it says the device isn't rooted. Everything is working fine apart from the Barclays banking app, which it seems is very fussy about non standard firmware, unlocked bootloaders, and having TWRP installed. Is there any way to make it happy? Kind of frustrating to loose that, all my other online banking apps work.

Did you tried with Magisk activating the Hide option for the Barclay's app?

No, not yet. I've been reading about it on XDA, but seems a bit hit and miss whether it Magisk can fool the latest Barclays app?
I also have another OPX (my current main phone) running stock Oxygen 2.2.3/Android 5.1.1. Bootloader is locked and it's not been rooted. I would really like to transfer all my saved wifi network passwords over to another device. They don't seem to go into google backup from the OPX, and I'm struggling to find another way to get them off without rooting. Obviously, I can't unlock the bootloader because it'll wipe everything off the phone. I did try Kingroot out of desperation (seems to be the only way to root with bootloader still locked?), but even that wouldn't install. So I'm stuck on that as well.

One Plus X reboots continuously and able to enter only fast boot mode
Hi My One plus X is now rebooting continuously and able to enter only fast boot mode. I tried unlocking boot loader but where the OEM Unlocking option is disabled in settings. Now unable to switch on mobile. Please help in getting out of Fast boot mode and switch on normally.
Tried pressing volume down+ power key
Volume up + power key enters only fast boot mode.

Noob Guide:
1. Download latest TWRP on computer.
https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/twrp-3.2.3-0-onyx.img.html
2. Download minimal adb tools and install it (Folder installed at C:\ProgramFiles\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
3. Transfer Twrp file to 'minimal adb and fastboot' folder.
4. Switch to fastboot in mobile by pressing "vol up + power"
5. Connect to PC using usb cable
6. Press "Shift" and right click in 'minimal adb and fastboot' folder, click on "open powershell(cmd) window here"
7. Type " ./fastboot devices "( it should show you fastboot serial number)
8. If bootloader is locked, unlock it by typing " ./fastboot oem unlock "
9. Install twrp by typing " ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-onyx.img "
10. Boot into twrp by typing " ./fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-onyx.img "
11. If TWRP shows up,
Download your favorite desired Custom ROM (my fav any Oreo ROM) on computer and transfer it onto your mobile.
Download Gapps(any package nano,stock etc..) and transfer it to mobile.
12. In TWRP goto
Wipe >> swipe to factory reset
Advanced wipe >> select "System,Cache,Dalvik Cache" and wipe it
13. In TWRP goto
Install >>select ROM,gapps>>flash it.
14. Reboot
That's it.:laugh:

Unable to boot after tried to unlock bootloader with NTK

I have a nexus 10 v4.4.4, finally wanted to root it and install a custom recovery (cwm). I used the same method as i used on my nexus 5 with the same application - nexus toolkit. All drivers are installed, clicked on "unlock", booted into the screen where i should click "yes" in order to unlock bootloader. The devices rebooted and stuck in the booting animation. Searched a lot and read a lot, but i cant make the device boot normally. I am able to boot into fastboot (i suppose, the screen where you can skip between options like "recovery, "power off" and "restart bootloader". Can anyone give me a hand with restoring the device?
EDIT
ok i was able to fix this issue. In case anyone encounters the same exact issue, this is what went wrong and what was made in order to make everything work:
1. make sure fastboot recognizes your device, by typing in command line "fastboot devices". if your device is not listed, first fix this (check drivers and connectivity). i had to reboot my pc in order to communicate with my nexus.
2. now boot to fastboot by holding vol up + vol down + power button.
3. launch NTK and simply select "back to stock" and check "soft brick \ bootloop" option.
4. the app with download the image and afterwards everything is automated. you will reboot to the setup screen.
BIG thanks to WugFresh and his awesome tool Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.6.

[Q]Can I fix my soft-bricked LG Optimus Fuel

I was messing with my old tracfone and trying to install a custom ROM on it. I pressed wipe on TWRP and selected advance wipe and selected everything for factory defaults. After this, I restarted and my phone is stuck on the LG logo and won't go past it. I can't even get back into TWRP by spamming the volume up button. I also have a backup image, but what's the point if I can't access TWRP? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Wipe doesn't restore factory defaults, it removes everything. If you wiped system partition there's no Android on your phone, thus no system to boot. If that's the case, you can try to reflash twrp or install original firmware

If so, you need a PC, if it's Windows then download this tool - it's a system-wide fastboot that lets you flash software on your phone. It should also download drivers.
If everything goes OK, boot your phone into bootloader (you need to find the right key combination to do that, could be (phone off) power button+ volume down held for about 5-10 seconds, but I don't really know how it's like with this particular phone).
Go to the folder where you've got your TWRP, hold shift and press right mouse button. From context menu choose "open command window here"
In command window enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it returns your phones serial number it's OK, if it doesn't - you probably don't have proper drivers so look for them
If everything is OK enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your-twrp-image-name.img
If this step is OK you can reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
In the bootloader there should be an option to enter recovery mode which is now TWRP. From there you can flash some ROM.
Alternatively you can get ffactory firmware and flash it with fastboot (that's actually a better option to start with).
I hope that helps

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately, I think that the phone is junk. My phone can't get into boot-loader for whatever reason, and I heard some people post that the phone was designed to make the boot-loader non-accessible. I already tried to flash it with ADB while it starts up, but no device is detected (no USB debugging I guess). So unless I can flash the phone while It's on the LG logo, I can't do nothing.

Newly rooted Moto G4 cannot enter bootloader or recovery, please help!

I am very new to this, I rooted my Moto G4 and now I need to download SUHide in order to play Pokemon Go. When I try to enter recovery via my fastboot/abd folder I get a < waiting for any device > message. When I hold down the power + volume down button my phone just turns on as normal without entering bootloader even though my bootloader is unlocked. I tried downloading an app that loads recovery for me but when I tried that I got a "no command" screen with a little green robot.
From what I've read, it's possible I didn't flash my trwp properly? I don't know how this is possible since I just rooted my phone. I would appreciate some help, I'm afraid to take any random guesses at the risk of ruining my phone. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious or not giving enough info, I'm not very tech savvy.

Try power plus volume up button to go to fastboot mode.
If it not working then connect your android to pc and enable adb. Type "adb devices" enter then type "adb reboot bootloader" and enter. It boots your android in fastboot mode.
If adb commands not working then install adb and fastboot drivers and try again.

In most devices, volume up + power boots up the recovery options, volume down + power boots the device into fastboot mode (volume buttons first plus power, pressing power button first would boot the device normally).

How did you install the custom recovery? Try flashing the recovery.img again (I'm guessing, since you have root, that you did not "flash" (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) TWRP but just "boot" (fastboot boot recovery.img) it and installed SuperSU).

Okay, so that did work, and I was able to enter fastboot mode. However, once I scrolled down to "recovery mode" and tried to enter, I got the same "no command" screen.

I used the official moto g4 root guide on this website to root my phone and I'm pretty sure I booted, not flashed, the recovery img (mine is named twrp-3.0.2-0-athene). So, I tried using the command you provided to flash the recovery img and I got a < waiting for any device > message in the command prompt. My phone is plugged in and my recovery img is in the adb / fastboot folder. Any idea what this means? Thank you for the help guys
edit: If it helps to know this, my phone has usb debugging enabled and it is recognized by my pc. I type adb devices and my moto g4 serial number does indeed show up.

If you are trying to flash twrp recovery on your android then rename your twrp to recovery.
Boot your android in fastboot mode,
Navigate to folder that you have recovery. Press shift and right click and click on open command here and type "fastboot devices" and enter
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It flash your recovery to your android.

Did all that, getting:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
Also, per the suggestion of other users on these forums, I tried to hold down power and press volume up during the "no command" screen after attempting to enter recovery. That sent me into Android Recovery but it's not the twrp platform I used when originally rooting my phone.
How did you unlock the bootloader? have you tried: fastboot oem unlock?
You need to "allow oem unlocking" on developer options (which I guess you already did). Then reboot in bootloader: (a) adb reboot bootloader. In fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader first: (b) fastboot oem unlock (or unlock-go). Then you can try to flash that recovery.img: (c) fastboot flash recovery "name of the file.img"
edit: fastboot oem unlock restores the device to factory settings. You need to configure and enable again "usb debugging" and "oem unlocking" (which are disabled by default). You can then proceed to fastboot flash

Question Recovery Mode from Power Off

I am unable to boot into recovery when the power is off with volume down + power on, it just boots in to bootloader.
I always have to connect to pc and do a fastboot reboot recovery.
Is there any other way or am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem. I have the nord2 (eu) version and I have installed the Indian version of Android 12. After this procedure I can't enter fastboot mode either with the key combination or with the adb commands. Furthermore, the possibility to install packages has disappeared from the bootloader, I can only delete the data or restart the smartphone.

Fastboot/Bootloader mode inaccessible to root ZTE Blade a5

Hello i wanted to ask about this since i dont see any other thread related to my issue, im trying to install magisk root and im at the stage of accessing fastboot/bootloader, when i go to recovery mode and select "reboot to bootloader" it just restarts the phone, i have tried adb commands didnt work either, same result, just restarts. The "unlock oem" option under developer options is enabled, i could flash another firmware of the same phone with SPD upgrade tool and its still not letting me get into bootloader, (to do this i must press down vol down and connect the usb while the program is on, and it is detected, otherwise it just restarts adb and fastboot tools will not detect it as download mode) any idea or suggestions on how I could root the phone, been thinking about twrp but not sure it would let me install that, looked into many pages about rooting this device and none show anything related maybe its not possible, i saw there are phones with blocked bootloader. the phone is android 9
Have you tried to
- flash the boot.img from the stockfirmware;
- install a recovery (twrp, orangefox, etc.) and rebooted to fastboot from recovery?

TWRP and orangefox dont support my phone, there may be something unnoficial for twrp as i search and im not sure i can flash the phone with a specific boot file since to flash i use a single .pac file that contains the rom ill look into this
For now im not able to flash the phone with custom boot.img or recovery.img maybe i need to pack specific files i dont know about i give up for today
