This part is what I don't understand. How is it possible to downgrade a bootloader locked device from android 10 to Oreo without a signed android Oreo image that is accepted by the device?
There are only two options to get your phone downgraded with locked bootloader, first is Nokia Service Center and second is the websites that I've mentioned in the 1st post they'll downgrade your phone and provide you the unlock service.

What exactly flashing unlock_critical does that flashing unlock doesn't do?

isn't firmwarte DRG-237-WW.nb0 a signed firmware perfect for downgrading (with OST tool or SUT tool) ?
real question, i just bought a TA-1116 yesterday
If the image is signed, it can be flashed. They might have obtained signed firmware image from the employee in service center.

How to unlock bootloader without PC Nokia 6.1 plus
Techmesto released the tutorial to unlock the bootloader for some Nokia phones (including Nokia 6.1 plus) on june 21, 2021. Here is the link https://www.techmesto.com/guide-unlock-bootloader-nokia-android-phones/ (You must have a Windows machine)
I used it to unlock mine. It works
EDIT: It works. The timezone is EST as per my digging. I was able to unlock it for free.
Leaving below comment for historical reasons:
Their unlock works, apparently, 15 times a day, and the timezone is not mentioned. It is obviously an advertisement for their paid service.
From their website:
The OTP is valid for 15 minutes from generation.
Only 15 devices will be supported for unlocking in a day. After this further generation of OTPs will be disabled for the day.
Please contact us in case you have a bulk requirement.
There is no reason to believe they allow even 15 OTPs or even 1. Since they are obviously able to generate them in "bulk", I think it is best to not mention them here. Let them do their advertisement on Nokia forums.

@cubancigar11 You should first try it before dismissing it as advertisement. I used it to unlock my bootloader a few months ago.
Thanks. I was also able to unlock it after many tries. I have edited my comment to reflect this. Unfortunately there "donate" link is broken, otherwise I would have donated $5 which they quote as price.

Hey, I'm about to receive my V10, I just wanted to know, unlocking bootloader does cancel warranty right ? If so, relocking it (if possible) brings it back or not ? Thanks for your answer, never really care about this question with my op2 and was just wondering

I spent hours this afternoon going through the Huawei sites and could not find anything. Google only bring up the posts already here and a few others which redirect to the same 404 pages. Luckily my bootloader is already unlocked, but I find it very strange that Huawei have disabled their pages. Where to look now, I have no idea.

I'm already unlocked. I was searching for the other member. Thing is, the OP should update the thread.
Tryed to reach Honor on Facebook and Twitter. No reaction.
Any news on getting honor to respond and helping you unlocking the bootloader on the BKL-L09?
I'm based in the UK.
I tried registering on https://emui.huawei.com/
it has all sort of countries listed including the vatican but it doesn't have any European UK US countries. I decided to pick hongkong, and registered nevertheless.
The unlock bootloader link as seen on youtube video guides doesn't show up on https://emui.huawei.com/ and any direct link point to error 404.
I sent an email to [email protected] and surprisingly, as it's the only email address available on the whole website, my email bounced back.
I'm in the situation where I'd like to have the ability 1-2 years from now to unlock the bootloader without any fuss. I could even consider unlocking the bootloader and voiding warranty now for fear of this option disappearing from honor completely in the future.
But if getting an unlock code is not an option, or if it won't be an option in the future I wish there was a way to know now so I can return the phone.
Thanks

Try [email protected] or call the hotline (0800 088 6900). In the Netherlands they were very helpful, although I still have to get my unlock code which I expect to receive tomorrow
Thanks will try it
As you all know, the site to obtain bootloader unlock codes is currently down. It certainly has me distraught specifically for the View10 community which I'm working hard to grow and make successful. This is only a speed bump. I'm am still trying to figure out what is going on and working to get it back. (I don't directly handle it).
I know the very importance of having an easy method to unlock the bootloader of a device and this certainly has thrown a wrench into things.
So, to get around this hiccup, I have setup a Google form for users to fill out with the appropriate information in order to request a bootloader unlock code. One of my colleagues will have access to the spreadsheet that the data dumps into and will update it with the unlock codes. I will then email you your unlock code. Turn around time we're looking at is about ~24hrs (not including weekends).
This is not ideal but I feel this is the next best thing until we sort out the site and what exactly is going on.
I'm thankful for everyone's patience with this and all the developer's support for our device
Please follow this link to request an unlock code: Feel free to share this to other users as this is not specific to View10

The unlock site is back! But at this time for only 60 days. If you need to unlock the bootloader of any Honor or Huawei devices please get the code now and keep it safe. If there are changes to this I'll keep everyone posted.

Think the reason the bootloader unlock code does not recognize is probably because the device does not recognize it in adb mode or it recognizes the wrong number.
If the device is not recognized as adb mode, is the boot loader unlock code not recognized?
If there is a problem with device recognition, is there a way to recognize the device in adb mode?
If the bootloader unlock code is wrong, should we talk to @[email protected]_USA?

I dont think the bootloader unlock code is wrong! But check again your settings...
You must enable Developer Options (7x click on Build Number in settings "About phone")
In Developer Options it is required to enable OEM Unlock.
And you must enable ADB Debugging in charging mode (before USB Debugging) and finally USB Debugging (if you enable USB Debugging before ADB Debugging, USB Debugging will not stay enabled and is disabled soon you leave the settings...)
If you have USB connected with the Phone (and the drivers must be installed automatically by windows, if not use HiSuite by Huawei to connect phone and close HiSuite after in the background) -
and you open Minimal ADB and Fastboot in administrative mode, type:
adb devices
On Phone Screen you receive a RSA Request and you must except with "always from this computer" and okay.
With:
adb reboot bootloader
you enter Fastboot Mode.
On Screen FRP must be unlocked
With:
fastboot oem unlock codexxx..
you flash the Unlock Code and confirm on phone screen.
After automatically Factoryreset reset with low-level wipe appears.

I bought ANE-LX1 (P20 Lite) on June 2018 and immediately unlocked the OEM from the developer options (automatic factory reset was done then), but i never rooted or installed custom rom, recovery...etc.
All updates was normally arriving and i was updating my phone regularly (current build is: ANE-LX1 8.0.0.170(C185)).
I decided to root my device using fastboot, but when the device is in recovery mode i can see:
Code:
Phone Locked -- (in green font color)
FRP Unlock -- (in red font color)
When i try to flash using fastboot i got:
Code:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
While searching online i found that Huawei decided to lock bootloader for all users (so we buy their hardware which contains an opensource software and then they lock it... PERFECT!), and it seems that the only way now is to get the unlock code by contacting third-party codes providers, pay money and they guarantee to provide the correct unlock code (pay and pray) + I will have to expose my device information.
My questions are:
-How can i see in the developer options that my OEM is already unlocked, while the recovery is not convinced?
-Do i really have to unlock it again with the code "after purchasing it ofcourse -- which i will never do" (e.g. using fastboot)?
-Is there any solution from xda experts for my case rather than buying codes and exposing my device information or stay with a Locked bootloader?

IMEI, product S/N (if i correctly understood the process, i have to provide my device info so they can extract the bootloader unlock key)
According to the information that's available, the code used to unlock the bootloader is unlocked in a very complicated way and it's basically unique for everyone. Now, I don't know how much this is true and how and why these people got their hands on the "method" of creating the code, but no one has been able to find a way that's guaranteed to work or even work at all, except for, of course, these sites that make you pay for it. I hope I'm not mistaken and forgive me if I am, but I don't think there is any way to obtain the bootloader code manually or without exposing your information to random strangers on the internet.

Asus flash tool for ZS670KS\ZS671KS
http://www.mediafire.com/file/k5h5v8zthw6cr8d/AFT_ASUS.zip/file
The 7 pro and 6 are the ONLY phones I have had the experience of saying they do NOT need to be rooted..
It will record phone calls. It will come straight out the box with the least amount of bloat I ever seen. Also once Its bootunlocked I hear that some things will stop working like google pay. Its also a gamble to root cause its very new. I havent found a reason to root it.. The phone is a beast and really is super clean in and out.. I surely hope I can figure out WHY is not getting 4g and 5G on ATT
Can someone confirm if I unlock the bootloader (only to install TWRP for emergencies) will I lose OTA updates?

From experience with Asus devices , you will loose Ota updates if you unlock with official tool. What happens generally is that the serial number of the device is sent to Asus servers through the tool to stop sending updates , only manually. You can unlock unofficially if there's the possibility.

My BL is unlocked and I've never received an OTA update, even after the full update has been made available via the Asus website.
I unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool from Asus and it works (@dogoku I did lose OTA updates, but manual updates work), but now I want to relock it. I tried "fastboot oem asus-back" but it returns the error (along with any other fastboot command I tried):
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
What could be causing that error?

I don't use this device ,but from experience with asus devices , u can flash with a service/fastboot firmware and bootloader will be locked back , but you've lost ota updates for good.
What do you mean to flash with a service/fastboot firmware? Do you mean installing the firmware on Asus's support page?

If u don't know what that is ,u better relock with the file in the original post. Check "bootloader relock"
The original post to relock is a text file with the command "fastboot oem asus-back" which is what I tried (and have seen elsewhere on the internet for the Zenfone 7), but it gave the error in my first post.

Uhm, the command is actually asus-lock, I don't know where you got "back" from. So you should be putting in

Unlocking your bootloader on this model goes against what a lot of us have learnt over the years. The general rule of thumb is never to update before unlocking, as the procedure for unlocking is specific to a certain release, and manufacturers frequently remove the ability to unlock in later releases.
Why they do this is obvious, they don't actually know what people will do with their hardware given the appropriate power to do so.
In the case of this phone, you do have to do the firmware update before the current unlock tool will work, as at the time of writing.
You don't need a Google or Asus account or any other crap.
Hope this helps someone else.

How bricked are you talking?
I answered a similar question in Q&A, the second post. That is if you can only boot into fastboot mode. but it also works if you are stuck in a bootloop or any other software issue.
If you can't even power the phone on, you will need to use a hair dryer or heat gun to remove the back and then disconnect the battery, then plug in a usb cable to see if the device still powers on. if it does unplug it and reconnect the battery. then try powering it on again.
If you unplug the battery and plug in a usb cable and it still does nothing, then it is completely bricked and probably beyond the technical expertise an average person is willing to put in to attempt to fix.

hello. first of all i don't speak english and i use google translate and i'm sorry for that.
I have an asus-me302kl tablet. I wanted to install twrp but now it's locked. I installed firmware with rawdate but it has no function. I need help unlocking the bootloader. recovery mode does not turn on either. I am wondering if there is a pat file or some other method to unlock the bootloader. Thanks in advance. I hope I was able to explain myself.

This low-end tablet is heavily outdated ( 7 years old ), means you won't find a TWRP suitable to it.

First of all, thanks for the answer. this tablet is a customer tablet. and it's my fault that it's locked. For this I need to unlock the bootloader. is there no tool to flash the software? I managed to install the .rawdata firmware. and the device has root permission but I couldn't go further. Now I'm waiting like this.
@civan34
My suggestion:
Re-flash tablet's Stock ROM ( is a ZIP-file ) to bring tablet back to its initial state ( what includes flashing the Stock Recovery ).
When that's done you can start to unlock tablet's bootloader by means of Fastboot, if it's not denied by OEM/Carrier.
If tablet's bootloader got successfully unlocked you can try to flash LineageOS v15 ( Android 8 Oreo ) onto tablet.

I can't install the stock firmware. Doesn't allow flashing over fastboot. Doesn't allow flashing via recovery mode. Is there a program to install stock firmware?
@civan34
A Stock ROM gets flashed by means of ADB
Example command sequence:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <FULL_PATH_TO_STOCK_ROM_ZIP_ON_PC>
adb reboot

I am a little novice at the command line and do not know how to type the command you typed. Should I type as you wrote, or do I need to change the name of the zip on the computer?
my command
(adb sideload stock.zip) and I get read error for this command.Since I don't speak English, I didn't understand exactly how to write the command. I don't want to overwhelm you, sorry for that
I'm in the same boat.
I picked up 4 of these from an auction. I can't unlock any of them, because the Asus tool, (ME302KL_UnlockTool_Instructions) zip file, no longer works. TWRP is available 3.2, link is below. I have rolled back to the stock ROM on 2 of the machines, no joy. Any suggestions or guidance, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I contacted Asus a few times about this Bootloader issue, but today I took a different approach. It appears they Blacklisted the ME302KL from the servers, because it is EOL. I made it clear to them. that I can't access the Asus Cloud or any other Asus tool loaded on the machine and I can't do OTA updates either. I made it clear that I should be able to at a minimum be able to upgrade to 4.4.4 from 4.2.2 after resetting the device. They agreed and are escalating the issue up the food chain.
My hope is they remove it from the blacklist which will fix the "Network Error" message when trying to use the Unlock Tool for the bootloader. I will circle back around, once I hear back from them....

No joy. Asus says they are under contract with AT&T. The ME302KL has been black listed and Asus will not add it back to the unlock tool or provide any support AT ALL!. They keep telling me the unlock tool isn't theirs. But the amount of times Asus's name is used in the EULA, tells me otherwise. I'm waiting to hear back from AT&T on their position on the matter. Stay tuned...
Ok campers, i have a work around for the ME302KL AT&T bootloader issue. I just verified AT&T can unlock the devices, they just verified 3 devices for me. Only catch, you have to have an account with them.
So, If you like people actually being able to hear you on a call, you probably have a different service, like i do. Based on the call, there are really only 2 options. Option 1, Harassment. Someone you know, has them as their provider. A family member, a friend maybe your priest. So, my suggestion is to harass them into they adding the device, under their plan. They only need to do it long enough, for you to get it upgraded. Once AT&T unlocks it, upgrade the OS, add TWRP and create a custom recovery that never goes back to KitKat. then, have them cancel it off their account. At the most, you're looking at $25 for the month, if anything at all.
Option 2 - Go Prepaid for a couple of months. This one is tricky based on the T&C's on their website. You will need to create a new account, $30 for 5 5gb a month. No contract and what you don't use, rolls over to the next month. Make sure to read their T&C's ased on new prepaid accounts with BYOD. I told the agent I wanted to Only use broadband service, no phone for when im working in the field, until i'm still under contract with Verizon. She pitched services, i dodged and evaded. She told me a month to month prepaid plan was doable, to get it unlocked. They would be able to unlock it for free and so i could upgrade the OS. So, it's not too terrible, just annoying to jump through so many hoops. The first option, would be the easiest.
These are just suggestions. I take no responsibility if you brick the device once it's unlocked. It is AT&T and the device may be commiting suicide in lieu of being on their Network. :0)
I sent the message to AT&T with imei of my ME302KL but the answer is been "the manufacturer doesn't have an unlock code for this device".
Help me to unlock my device.
