this doesnt help, tried everything, still get the same error. thanks for trying to help though.
I bought the Asus ZenFone 8 Flip with the bootloader unlocked, it is not running a custom ROM. How do I lock the bootloader? Thank you
Try this with fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
However, this won't restore your warranty and you won't receive updates, since surely who has unlocked your device has used the official bootloader unlock tool which registers your serial number

how do I go about something like that? I would only like to be on official software so how will I not be able to receive updates?

You won't get OTA updates, but you can still update manually downloading the zip from Asus website.
Unfortunately that's the price if you unlock the device (not only for Asus, a lot of other manufacturers (i.e. Sony) do this too)

interesting... So I don't know how to lock the bootloader precisely. So I download the latest firmware from the Asus website, plug the phone into the computer run fastboot then what? Am I missing something?

No, just follow these steps:
Make a backup of your phone!! Unlocking/Locking the bootloader erases all your data partition (so all your stuff will be gone!)
Install ADB on your PC if you don't have it (check how to install it: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/).
Plug in your device via USB with Debug USB setting enabled (in Developer Settings)
Open a terminal prompt on your PC
In the terminal run adb devices. If you see your device I the list then you're fine. Otherwise, you have mistaken something in the previous steps.
Run adb reboot fastboot (or adb reboot bootloader if it doesn't work) to reboot into fastboot mode
Run fastboot oem lock to lock the bootloader
Run fastboot reboot to reboot the system
Your device is now locked!
DISCLAIMER:
I'm not responsible of any data loss, damages and/or bricks you make to your device(s) by following this guide!

To update the system when a new version is out, since you won't receive OTAs:
Go to Zenfone 8 Flip support page: https://www.asus.com/Mobile/Phones/ZenFone/Zenfone-8-Flip/HelpDesk_Download/
Choose Android as OS and scroll down to "Firmware"
Download the latest zip
Put it in the internal storage (in the root directory, not inside another folder!)
Two paths:
If you put the zip from PC via USB simply unplug the USB cable
If you downloaded the zip and put it manually via file manager from the phone reboot the system
A notification should pop out, notifying you there is a firmware package to install!
Just follow the notification message and you'll be done!
Hey so I installed adb and ran the phone under fastboot but when I run fastboot oem lock all it says in the windows powershell is < waiting for any device >

Oh that's an issue I have all the times with Asus devices. There's a simple one-time fix though: just install the official Asus ADB drivers.
Download them from this page (I know it's the smaller Zenfone 8 page, but they work with every Asus device): https://www.asus.com/it/Mobile/Phones/ZenFone/Zenfone-8/HelpDesk_Download/
Choose your windows version (for 10 and 11 choose 8.1)
Download the USB driver
Extract the archive somewhere in your PC
Open Device manager in your PC (search it in start menu) while the phone is connected via USB and in fastboot mode
You'll notice an unknown device with a yellow/orange warning icon at the top of the devices list. Right click on it and choose Update drivers.
Choose "Search driver in the PC" (the second option (don't choose the first one since it searches the driver automatically on Windows update))
Choose the folder you extracted
Click "Next"
Drivers should be installed and fastboot should recognize your device (to test run the command: fastboot devices)
Sorry for the late reply, but I didn't get any notification from XDA
there were two options for drivers android adb and android composite adb drivers I selected the composite one but it doesn't seem like it was installed
Kiribro02 said:
When I try to update the drivers it says that windows was unable to install your and then it says the device.

Do you installed the drivers when the phone is in fastboot mode?
Also, I've noticed some steps are not clear (and one is doubled), I'll clean it

Try all the two, I don't remember which one works (I think the Composite worked for me), but try also with the other ones
Hi,
I've bought a second hand zenfone 8 flip. After Hard Reset I have to enter the old PIN to continue. The problem is the seller doesn't have the PIN and is not willing to take the phone back. ASUS is not willing to help because I bought it second hand.
I already flashed with raw firmware, but this is still coming up.
Any ideas? Should I start a new thread?

It's not working for me, please help:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot devices
M4AIB760******* fastboot
C:\platform-tools>fastboot oem lock
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
So, as you can see, the driver is installed correctly as I get an answer from fastboot devices, but then the OEM lock doesn't work.
Are there any other ways to re-lock it?
Thank you!

@wyktron can you try this? This worked with my Zenfone 6 some years ago, it might be the same for ZF8 Flip, due to Asus customization:
Bash:
fastboot oem asus-back

As mentioned here check if you have enabled Debug USB and OEM unlock in developer options and try to reboot into bootloader (with either fastboot reboot bootloader or adb reboot bootloader)

@maicol07 there's no OEM unlock in my developer options, only the USB debugging (which is already on)
besides this oem method, is there another way to lock it? perhaps through the zenfone flash tool (I have it installed and it detects my phone, but never used it)
Hi, i have a Moto G9 Power and recently i decided to unlock the device bootloader.
There's a problem, ADB works well, but when i restart the device to bootloader, the phone disconnect from my computer and the bootloader say "Connect USB Data Cable".
If i enter the recovery and open the fastboot menu, my computer detect the phone and try to get the unlock info, but i recive this error:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
< waiting for any device >
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I don't know what to do as the ADB and the recovery fastboot works, but the fastboot that i need don't work
Note: i tried with another USB C cable (that i know it does not support data transfer) and at the bootloader the message changed to "Transfer Mode: USB Connected" it doesn"t make sense
Please can anyone help me?
Is there an option on this phone to unlock the bootloader in developer mode?

Try a different PC
Try on another USB 2.0 port, it should not be blue.
Solution: try with another PC.

The error I’m getting is “fastboot: usage: unknown device target recovery”
I am experiencing the EXACT same thing. No matter what box program Im using , nothing works! crazy. Please help. Id be happy with a factory reset. Atleast then I could get past the FRP.
Wow, I have not encountered that error yet.
I could only guess that it might be a problem of recovery.
How did you install your current recovery if not from fastboot?

you're using fastboot reboot recovery?
Hey any update on this? I can say I've come across the same issue where their seems to either be no recovery or a corrupt one.
One thing I want to point out is (at least with the TracFone) that when I put the device in fastboot, and have wondershare tune go running, it displays the device as a Sony Xperia. The program still isn't able to connect to the device for me to attempt a reboot into recovery. It also reads the device as two other devices.
I'm hoping someone has encountered these findings and may also have a dump of the stock rom.if so I may be able to begin rooting for at least fix the recovery issue.

fastboot oem unlock/fastboot flashing unlock has been blocked in the boot loader, only hope for root is another brom exploit like mtkclient or a temp root privilege escalation exploit

Hey thanks for the response.
So far I've been able to get the device to read in fastboot but I'm still unable to unlock the bootloader since as your saying it's definitely..."gimped" haha. I'll checkout the script and do some tests to see what I get.
