Hi! I have a big problem. I have a Chinese version of the phone without google services. I tried to flash the firmware from the motorola and it worked, but since when the bootloader is unlocked, google pay does not work, I blocked it with the fastboot oem unlock command and that was a mistake. after which he broke.
I've tried recovery mode / factory mode in fastboot, but it still goes into bootloop.
I have downloaded the firmware, and have my 20-character alphanumeric code to unlock the device bootloader.
When I enter this code in ADB using fastboot oem unlock CODE it says 'Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer'.
But I can't Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android settings as I can't boot the phone, and I never 'Checked it' when the phone was working properly.
Is there anyway to 'Allow OEM Unlock' while the phone is in fastboot mode, without being able to boot the phone properly?
Any attempt to flash the phone with native firmware or any other leads to the message "FAILED (remote failure)"
i'm tried different options with xda but nothing helps ... do I really have to throw the device in the trash ... it makes me very sad.
I can't believe that the manufacturer didn't come up with a normal recovery option.
I will be very grateful for your help.
What is the bootloader status? if it is Flashing_Locked, then its a high chance that isn't fixable, like my G6 Plus, i tried everything, but nothing appears to help. My phone is on the wardrobe, just waiting for some expert to come with a solution to this...

sadly, there isn't a known fix for flashing_locked, there is some people that had the luck to lock it on OEM_Locked and could reflash stock, but for Flashing_Locked you cant
there is 3 options now:
-Play dumb and get a replacement from motorola
-Wait for a fix
-Replace the motherboard

Is it really possible to wait for a fix? It seems to me that the motorola is not very worried about it.

there must be a way by using EDL or JTAG pins to unlock it since motorola doesn't want to share stock factory images to us. I don't think the solution is going to be available soon, so just try to play dumb with motorola and get a replacement...

unfortunately my phone is no longer under warranty. Yes, and I tried EDL, it doesn't work. Bootloader lock is too good

Sadly mine is also no longer under warranty... About EDL, i don't mean blankflashing it, instead there must be a way to access the bootloader lock related partition directly from the EMMC then unlocking it...

I think that if this happens then the protection of all devices will be compromised and the manufacturer will definitely not want it. most likely the phone died forever

yea it was a bad call from my side... So i was doing a quick search here and i found something that can be useful
the Medusa JTAG Pro Box can skip the "permission" thing and flash the stock, but its kinda expensive in my country and i don't know anyone that has it...

That fastboot oem unlock-go command won't work.
OK, follow these steps:-
a) Reboot to Fastboot mode by pressing Power and Vol down buttons for 10 seconds.
b) Download the MiUnlock tool and enter your credentials first. It will check whether your Mi account has permission to unlock (you must have permission from Xiaomi to unlock).
c) It will detect your phone as Mi Phone and proceed to unlock.
d) It will verify whether the Mi account in your phone and the credentials of the Mi account you entered on the PC are the same.
e) It will unlock your device for sure!
If it says some sort of verification error aka. the famous stuck at 50%, wait for some days like for a week and try again, it may work even in 2 days! Keep trying!
Good Luck!:good::highfive:
Thank you!

It's not that problematic, actually it is the easiest way to unlock bootloader!
Unofficial bootloader is the very "problematic" method.
Anyhow, Are you looking for unofficial bootloader unlock? Then go here and follow the steps correctly, dont skip any step.
And for your second question, Xiaomi has complicated the bootloader unlock process by heavy encryption. That's why you couldn't unlock Redmi Note 3 as any Moto device!

OK that's why I'm having so much problem to unlock it. I just want to ask do you know any other way to fix the problem I'm having with this error. Cause the post you gave me tells how to unlock the RN3 temporary :crying: but the thread I followed helps to unlock it permanently :good: (how I know cause I used similar commands on my Canvas A1) and I followed almost every step properly.
I don't understand why companies emerged as custom ROMs stops supporting customisation, at least don't make it hard. I just wanted to flash my RN3 with a Custom ROM like CM13 cause MIUI is not supporting 4G networks properly of multiple operators that's why, for which I needed a custom recovery and for which I needed unlocked bootloader.
I just don't understand , all this so that no one could copy their ROM or I don't know for what . It's just makes things difficult for normal people and no one else. Locks can't keep a thief away. If anyone wants to break into their system than one will, if he/she uses right tools properly. Why make normal people lives' difficult?
ALSO I WANT TO ASK MORE THING, if in first case, I get into fastboot mode just after the ROM flash & before very first ROM boot and run this command and if in second case, the room gets booted and then I go into fastboot mode & run the command, DOES IT CREATES ANY CHANCE OF NON-OCCURRENCE OF THAT ERROR IN FIRST CASE?.

The thread I gave you was not temporary, it is permanent and it is temporary till you get the official unlock permission. Actually it's a permanent 'safe' solution.
Xiaomi did it for security of data, not to stop customising. If it had to stop users from customising, xiaomi wouldn't have given you warranty even if you root or it may not even have given you an option to unlock bootloader!

I got this error too but i forgot how to fix it.
Something about the 'disable driver signature' or the modified rom that you flash before you trying to unlock.

I appreciate your help but the post you gave me is for non-asian countries so it will not work for me. As you already know I'm an Indian so that's why. Are you an Indian, only asking cause in that way you may already faced the problems i'm having.
I'm only familiar with only 2 4G networks for now. One is Airtel 4G, what they say have FDD LTE network, I don't what that is, but that's why it's not working on my phone, I contacted them and they said that my phone doesn't support it, I don't know why cause it support much more LTE Bands other than any smartphone in that price range. Second is Jio 4G, my sim gets detected, shows network in manual selection but doesn't get registered on them. I see only the message of 'No Service' or 'Emergency calls only' when I insert it.

OK I'll try when got time and will update you with the result.
I just bought my vs987 less than a week ago, and when I install my T-Mobile sim card, I'm able to place calls but I'm unable to use the cellular data. I thought these were supposed to be unlocked? My data works fine when I use the Verizon sim card.
Also, when I first started it up I noticed that my "Software status" said "modified." Does that mean that this phone was previously owned/tampered with? I updated to 7.0 Nougat via Uppercut and LGUP, and now it says "Official." So, I'm a bit alarmed by what was there previously...
Can someone address both of these concerns?
Also, in "About Phone" in the settings menu there is no "Update Center" option. I looked in this video and it appears there.
https://youtu.be/gXeKZ6Dk4Fg
Is that normal, too?
I would appreciate the feedback because I'm a bit anxious due to the fact that Best Buy apparently charges $35 for returns or exchanges on phones. -_-
Do you know if the bootloader is unlocked? Because on some phones when the bootloader is unlocked if causes some problems especially on stock firmwares!

How can I go about verifying whether it's unlocked or not? I swear if something is wrong they better not charge me $35. I will dispute them via my CC company if they do.
Well a simple way is when it boots up it says “bootloader unlocked and visit this link” or something in that nature and a nother way of checking is going into settings - about phone - software info - click build number 8 times - back to settings - developer options... And if enable OEM Unlock is checked... Your bootloader is unlocked

I checked and there isn't an option for OEM Unlock in the dev options.
Edit: I think this is because the vs987 isn't rootable.
Hmm well I honestly don't know what could be causing this problem I would suggest finding another official KDZ (don't downgrade) from here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G5/VS987/VS98711A and if possible factory reset before and after

Since I'm unable to create a backup of my current state I'd like to use this as a last resort. I'll wait a bit for other responses and if things don't seem good I'll give it a go. Thanks for the help so far. I appreciate it.
No Problem!
Does anyone else have any ideas? I'm running low on time with Best Buy's return policy, so I'd really appreciate it.
Hey,
I just wanted to inform you guys that switching on the OEM Unlock will force a factory reset after the next reboot (Security Integrity Check). So do it rather sooner then later, before you have to setup all again.
Update:
I took the time and tested it on ARC5, you can see the results on the attached image.
PS: Deactivating the OEM Unlock results in the same situation -> Factory Reset.
Tested and confirmed :good:

Boot into Download mode - see if it says "Pre-Normal" - if so, you will have to wait 7 days before you can use OEM unlock - if it does say Pre-Normal, you are locked from flashing anything until it does show OEM unlock. This will happen in 7 days - if we have twrp by then and you plan to flash twrp - you will need to get the RMM State Fix and flash that immediately after flashing TWRP. You can find the RMM FIX here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22
The "Pre-Normal" thing is a known thing for S8/S8Plus and Note 8 Phones and at least for now, will be something many of us will have to deal with from now on.

Then you already know what to do - for what it's worth, I went thru this on my S8 Plus - contrary to what some have said, you can turn the phone off - doesn't effect your time in jail at all - you just need to keep data enabled while the phone is on -- and not take out the sim card.
good luck to you my friend.

2.Put TWRP tar in AP and flash
3.Reboot to recovery
4.Disable encryption
Go to Advanced >Terminal : type "multidisabler"
5.Go back to wipe>Format Data>type "yes"
6.Reboot system
This is my first experience to root and flash TWRP.... but after that when I reboot my phone got lock .... only official binaries allowed to be installed....and stuck there
I got frightened so I locked my bootloader
But nothing happens...
I downloaded stock firmware and flash.....now my phone works perfectly But I want to root my phone I searched and found a correct way to root but now oem unlock option is not found in developer options....
I watched hundreds of videos on yt and searched a lot on Google but
found no proper solution.....someone tell me to wait 7 days....
In about phone> phone status>uptime
Uptime should be equal to 7days... then oem unlock option will appear but ...... I want another solution date change and WiFi connect is not solution ... If any body knows any other solution please guide me ... I'll be very thankful.....
@ladlabaloch512
Perhaps your device has the same "OEM unlock" block like mine.
On mine I was supposed to wait 7d after turning on dev options.
I bypassed that by
1. switching to airplane mode
2. Setting manually date back one month
3. Restart (still in airplane mode)
4. Turning off airplane mode and let it sync date
and voila OEM unlock option was there.
Perhaps that works on your device as well.

Keep us updated.. I'd like to get my OEM unlock to come out of hiding.. this is frustrsting.. i see all these tutorials for the A02s root, twrp and ROMs and whatnot and I'm itching to get flashing!
Is it possible to flash an unlocked carrier firmware in ODIN and then be able to unlock OEM? Without carrier issues or anything? I'm a little nervous to be the first to try.. and not sure where to find US unlocked carrier firmware or if location even matters... I have the SM-A025AZ (US Cricket variant).. I guess as long as Download Mode (fastboot) is still accessible I could just flash the Cricket version back to the device.. bricked my LG-E980 back in the day.. took me a few months how to get it back up and running with LG flash tool.. i just dont want to repeat that fiasco lol... so anybody got any updates on hacking this OEM (un)lock bs??? Or any idea on flashing some other variant to the device without interrupting carrier stuff??.. seems like alot just to get a damn virtual switch to turn on.. but damnit I need root access! Lol.. about to just exchange this phone for an actual rootable phone.. i disagree with charging for hotspot.. that should be illegal.. getting charged twice to use th same bs internet.. eff that.. i just want Rooooooot!!!
Hello,
I have also been having these troubles, with no way to unlock oem after stock flash, and the closest I've got to finding a solution was this, but I simply cannot find samsung's bootloader unlocking form like it says in the guide. I bought my phone just for a bootloader unlockable version (A025M), and now I am very angry at samsung.
also, since over a 1000 hours have gone by since last post, have any one of you solved this issue just by waiting?

also, since over a 1000 hours have gone by since last post, have any one of you solved this issue just by waiting?

its not only samsung that does this, many other companies like motorola does this. Dont be angry, just try a different device. Also, snapdragon US models (i dont think) arent able to be unlocked. If its a mediatek model and isnt sim/carrier locked, u can try MTKClient

And, my A037W doesnt have the OEM Unlock option. Use an MTK tool to unlock it, thats how I did it

Is it possible to flash an unlocked carrier firmware in ODIN and then be able to unlock OEM? Without carrier issues or anything? I'm a little nervous to be the first to try.. and not sure where to find US unlocked carrier firmware or if location even matters... I have the SM-A025AZ (US Cricket variant).. I guess as long as Download Mode (fastboot) is still accessible I could just flash the Cricket version back to the device.. bricked my LG-E980 back in the day.. took me a few months how to get it back up and running with LG flash tool.. i just dont want to repeat that fiasco lol... so anybody got any updates on hacking this OEM (un)lock bs??? Or any idea on flashing some other variant to the device without interrupting carrier stuff??.. seems like alot just to get a damn virtual switch to turn on.. but damnit I need root access! Lol.. about to just exchange this phone for an actual rootable phone.. i disagree with charging for hotspot.. that should be illegal.. getting charged twice to use th same bs internet.. eff that.. i just want Rooooooot!!!

Sorry, but you're ****ing out of luck. Nokia ****ing dead-locked their phones, and there's no way to unlock them. Next time, go buy another phone from another OEM instead of this ****ing one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-do-i-unlock-the-bootloader-for-nokia-x10.4323507/ I've also asked a similar question to yours before, and...People told me that there's no ways to unlock those new Nokia phones' bootloaders anymore. You can try contacting their customer support, but I don't think it will work. I contacted them before so I can unlock my Nokia X10's bootloader, but they just kept dodging my question and sent some automated answers instead

no problem, and now I'm charging at the customer service email again. I will try to annoy them, and see if that'll make them unlock my bootloader

I hope so, past attempts has proven unsuccessful, as said before. I hope that I will manage to talk them into unlocking my bootloader though. I wish I am good at social engineering or something similar to that, lol

A whole full year later....
How did your attempt go? Was you able to talk them into unlocking the bootloader, or did they use excuses like "security" and "stability" again?

Wow i didn't think this thread is gonna get revived in a year.
Well i did contact Hdm but exactly like you staded they used security as an excuse so i wasn't able to unlock the bootloader.
My phone still works but when it breaks i will switch over to smasung because bootloader unlock there is very easy.

well, here's some news for hoping: Hikari_Calyx acquired a few prototype units of HMD/Nokia phones (some of which look suspiciously similar to the Nokia X10/20), and with cases like this (he extracted a prototype ABL image for bootloader unlocking), one can hope that the Nokia X10/20 will be unlocked in the same way as the XR20 (minus the step of acquiring full access to tri-color company's Device Kit, of course, **** that kit)
