Can any developer please please help me out quickly? i'm out of time seriously I need help but quick.
I'm trying to unlock my device Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon varient. All the other commands like
* adb devices
* adb reboot edl
* fastboot devices
* fastboot oem device-info
everyone of it is working fine but when I write
* fastboot oem unlock-go
I get the above mentioned error.
Does anybody know the solution to it? Before answering please consider that other commands are working except this one, I didn't found any proper solution that's why posted the problem here and I already did revoke USB debugging permissions and turned it on again but that didn't helped.
So please give me a working solution as quick as possible or else any help is appreciable.

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!

Thanks for the help but I don't even want to try that method first it's very problematic, it takes a lot of time and it's not even sure if it works. So if you can help me with the problem I'm having that would very very very appreciable :good:.
And why the command will not work, can you please tell me? Also this command gives the same error "fastboot OEM unlock bootloader". Hope you can help .

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.

By your name, I think you are an Indian, so which Sim you are using? You need to do a 4G pack recharge first to use LTE, VoLTE won't work in custom ROMs right now.

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.
As in the title, I have an, Alcatel Tcl Lx A502dl, Android phone, originally purchased from Walmart with a Trackfone Sim card (Now there is no sim card insterted).
I have spent all day, up until now, figuring out how to link abd and fastboot to the phone using USB debugging, and I have been successful this far. I had downloaded latest "platform-tools_r29.0.1-windows" from here on XDA, and I downloaded latest "fatsboot" from "HighonAndroid.com", for a quicker experience, without wasting time and effort on Java downloads. In addition to all this, I let the computer search the network for updating driver software, for my Alcatel phone. I also downloaded "UniversalAdbDriverSetup", from the former link, @highonandroid.com.
I linked both file pathways for corresponding "Fastboot", and "platform-tools", into the environment variables, under the term: "Path", yes, using a ";" with no spaces to add the new pathways.
I had success linking my phone onto the "abd" program, the phone is listed under "abd devices" command. I could not seem to get a listing of my phone serial number, under the "fastboot devices" command?
I have tried to get "platform-tools" to put the phone into "fastboot/bootloader" mode, but the phone simply reboots, back to the lockscreen. I have also tried on "Fastboot", to "fastboot reboot bootloader", and my Alcatel again reboots to the lockscreen. All the while, I activated the OEM unlocking switch/setting in the "developer options" of my phone, from the beginning, before I ever gave any commands?
Why won't my Alcatel phone reboot into the "fastboot/bootloader" screen, where I could command "fastboot oem unlock"? Why does my phone respond to both programs, yet still she loads the lockscreen?
I am new to all this, not really a tech savvy individual, just wanted a liberated operating system for my line of work...
I need bootloader unlocked in order to root my device via computer, correct?
I can not check to see if my bootloader is unlocked, not by abd tools, or by numerical code in my "dialer app". The app crashes, and any time I attempt the "fastboot oem device-info" command, no device is listed, only a <looking for a device> prompt of sorts appears. I have been told this may be because, the drivers were not installed properly, or the device was not properly connected under some other issue, and I can try to fix this error by reinstalling drivers... what would the issue be?
I need help, and I would appreciate some guidance on rooting my Android, as there are not any threads in the forum, on this model of Alcatel, that I am aware of?
I am doing all of this on a Windows 7 computer, in a Library, just so you all know. I ask for administrative approval for most things.
Thank you.

I can't possibly express how much I would love for you to elaborate on the 'use init.d for always root' part. Anyone else who knows, please jump in. Start by pretending I am an idiot. Then stop pretending and explain it to me as if I were an adult who needs a full-time minder. First one to help me achieve "always root" on this terrible, wretched, little excuse for an electronic device gets my undying gratitude and um, maybe some Google Play money? I am open to ideas here on that score. To reiterate, need help rooting my Tracfone TCL LX A502DL that has a castrated recovery (seriously, you can't flash anything from adb, the option is flat-out missing) and apparently no fastboot access AT ALL. I could do another seriously in parentheses, but you need to take my word for it w/o a bunch of examples. The bright spot is the vulnerability the device has to the mtk-su exploit. Get a # in like no time at all. Time elapsed from executing the file to getting the prompt is too short for my flesh computer to register (unless you -v, then about 1.5 seconds.) So how do I turn a root prompt into full root?

Just bumping this thread in case anyone has ideas for me. Seems like Alcatel has bootloader mode hidden on some phones. Here's my story: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=81780645#post81780645
BTW - I am using mtk-su and have root and Magisk via init.d scripts, but still can't touch /system or flash recovery because of
Code:
/dev/block/dm-0' is read-only
which won't change unti bl unlocked...
I never did get her to root. Alas she is a broken phone now RIP. Sorry for the disappointments. But I move on more hopeful. ?
As posted by Viva La Android in another thread about the tcl a501dl:
The TCL A1 (A501DL) cannot be bootloader unlocked. Although the OEM Unlocking option can be enabled in the Developer Options menu, fastboot mode has been made inaccessible by TCL. Because the bootloader cannot be unlocked, it simply is not possible to flash a custom recovery or a patched boot image for systemless root support. System-wide root is not possible due to TCL's secure boot chain configuration and dm-verity. Until an exploit is found to bootloader unlock this device, rooting is not possible.

unlock bootloader and root with https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
This device cannot be rooted. To date, there has not been a single validated claim of a rooted TCL A509DL. The bootloader cannot be unlocked, preventing root, custom ROM installs,etc.
UPDATE: After hearing from some members regarding the Hydra Tool, and doing a little bit of research on the method, it appears that I was completely wrong on my.statement. Members here on XDA as well as Hovatek have confirmed that the A509DL bootloader can indeed be exploited with the Hydra Tool method, opening the door to systemless root with Magisk. Thanks guys for the info and guidance. I have one of these devices and look forward to unlocking & rooting soon. Thanks @PrivyetCyka for the info.
Yes it can .. it was extremely easy to do so also..i have a rooted one in my hand as we speak the only issue is I was stupid and tried to flash the magisk zip in twrp and it set off secureboot so in working on fixing that .. but .. if you just use MTKClient you can pull the entire firmware , magisk patch then reflash the boot.img using the same tool and you can even install twrp I have the entire firmware , twrp, and magisk patched boot imgs for the device saved ,. If someone knows how to disable secureboot I would really appreciate it

I stand corrected on my statement. I was incorrect. Out of curiosity, does the Hydra tool require the dongle in order to unlock the bootloader?
@PrivyetCyka send me the Magisk packed boot image and I will unpack it and disable secure boot. I can then pack it back up and link it to you. Are you referring to only secure boot or also AVB 2.0/dm-verity?
I didn't use hydra tool I used MTKClient from GitHub and did an entire system read back to have a backup then just renamed boot.bin to boot.img used magisk to patch it and then used the same MTKClient tool to reflash it... I have a twrp I made for it also but I don't know how functional it is as far as flashing things and backups , the only thing I tried to flash was the magisk zip just to see what would happen and that tripped the secureboot , I used the mediatek secureboot tool and it says it's disabled but it's still not booting past the secureboot fail screen.. when I get home I'll get the files and upload them tonight
So. I have an OPPO Reno 2Z CPH1951 and am having problems with unlocking the bootloader, I have emailed oppo support about it and they say just to enable OEM unlocking with 100% battery so I did that yet I still can't get into the bootloader.
I should say my phone is fully updated.
If anybody could help them please do.

I'd appreciate if you share your knowledge and experience here in this thread instead by DM/PM. The latter doesn't help anybody else who has similar issues.

If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

Wonder if anyone knows how to unlock the bootloader and root the Oppo Find X3 (not Pro)? This is the device that sits just below the Pro-Model - essentially same hardware with a slightly less capable CPU (Snapdragon 870 instead of 888). The device runs a version of ColorOs intended for the Chinese market only (at this stage). Easy to enable developer options, allow OEM unlocking and enable USB debugging. But so far I have not found a way to access fastboot mode and proceed to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas?
Waited 4 yrs to upgrade from a OnePlus5 and these Chinese system apps are such a downer. Glad to see you two on to the right questions.

I'm facing the same issue. Have activated USB debugging on my X3 Pro, but when I shut down and restart whilst also holding volume up button, it doesn't go in to fast boot. Is there a way of activating fast boot by plugging phone into computer?

The steps to enable developer mode? Go to About Phone, there you will see a screen with lots of info about the phone, including the OS. Tap on *Baseband & kernel", then you see three infos. There you click multiple times on "Build number", which will unlock developer mode. This you then find under "Additional settings" in the main settings. Then you can enable "OEM unlock" (which doesn't help unless you can access the bootloader and actually unlock it...) and "USB debugging". I'll survive without root for now, hoping some clever XDA devs will figure this device out eventually. It's an amazing phone, and I hope they will release a true international version of the firmware at some point, so I won't see the Chinese core-apps anymore...
Global phones have purposely has the fastboot command blocked, so even if there was a twrp there is no way to flash it, no matter what you do, holding volume down on boot, commands or any other method won't work. Chinese models I believe can have it done but need to download an app, then apply to have permission to unlock.

Sounds like this is for devs only, and not yet for the FX3. So for now, I'll keep my hands off it - don't think I'm at the required skill level yet. But still - a good tip, and it gives me some hope that root access might be possible in the near future.
I have what I'm pretty sure is the global variant and I am able to enter fastbootd
Oh wow. Great! May I ask you to please share how you manged to pull that off? And once you accessed fastboot, did you e.g. manage to root the device? Please, also here, a "how" would be preferred over a "yes"?
Or is there a way to root the phone with apps like KingoRoot etc?
I'm not pro in this area, but i find this:

Currently there's no method to unlock oppo phone on android 12.
Just a quick heads-up.
unlock token - OnePlus (United States)
www.oneplus.com
By the way, to root without readily available stock firmware, first unlock bootloader, then boot a pre-rooted GSI with DSU Sideloader, pull stock boot partition from there, and finally patch/flash it. This applies to the Open variant as well.

Tried to unlock but apparentpy my device only has 7 digits in the serial number which keeps me from being able to use the website to request the unlock code.
I used the debloat script I found on n200 threads to get oem unlock on option. T-Mobile variant

Try prepending 0s?
Well. I was thinking that doing that would make the unlock token they give me different from what the phone would be expecting

Chatting with OnePlus hasn't yielded anything so far
Just a tip, because in my infinite forgetfulness I wasted an hour last night trying to figure out why I was getting the error, fastboot could not open target HAL.
Remember that you must request the unlock code from fastboot, not fastbootd. Which is what you will boot into if you issue adb reboot fastboot.
So here's a quick step by step.
1.Enable usb debugging. 2. Connect your device and allow access for the computer. My device asks if I want it to charge or transfer files. Select transfer files/Android auto and then use adb start-server. May have to unplug the USB cable and reconnect. Select "always allow this device/PC".
3. Issue "adb devices" to make sure your connected.it should list your device by it's serial number. If not then try unplugging the device and revoke adb authorizations in dev options and toggle USB debugging off and back on, may even need to reboot the device to get it to connect after doing this.
4. If your device is listed under devices go ahead and issue "adb reboot fastboot"
5. Once rebooted issue "fastboot devices" and make sure the device is listed again.(If not listed make sure you have your driver's installed correctly and fastboot is installed correctly, may need to install Android SDK into same folder as fastboot)
6.You can select English or whatever language if you want but it doesn't seem necessary.You are in fastbootd mode you will see if you DO select a language.
So from here issue"fastboot reboot bootloader" device will reboot and you will have scrollable option at the top beginning with a big green START at the top. This is regular fastboot And where you wanna be to get your unlock code for submitting to Oppo for your unlock token.
7. Issue "fastboot oem get_unlock_code"
8. It should return the info you need, you will also need your IMEI number when submitting so be sure to copy that down.
you can copy and paste the unlock code into notepad or Word and delete out the extra stuff so your left with just the two lines of your unlock code as one single contiguous string of numbers.
8. Go to the link listed by OP and submit the required info. And wait for what seems like forever.
ADB/Fastboot commands-quick recap.
1. adb reboot fastboot
2. fastboot reboot bootloader
3. fastboot oem get_unlock_code

Simply "adb reboot bootloader". You won't need fastbootd until GSIs (which I already did ofc).
Thanks, definitely a quicker way to get to fastboot. I guess I wasn't sure if you could reboot directly. Seems maybe I was confusing an older device where you had to reboot to fastboot then "fastboot reboot fastboot" to get to fastbootd for a whole different reason.
This one goes directly to fastbootd when you "adb reboot fastboot"
Nice catch.
with this particular model in scope, what do either of you guys suggest I do if I have gottne the age old bricked message "destroyed boot/recovery image"".. I've tried the MSMTool route and cna't get it to register under Device Manager with the Qualcomm drivers.. It's highly upsetting..
I'm not really sure to be honest, this is my first OnePlus device and just trying to contribute anything I can to get the N20 section up and going as I make progress with the device.
Just a quick search though turns up this and maybe it could be of use if you can still access the bootloader.
the current image(boot/recovery) have been destroyed
I updated my oneplus 8t to KB2005_11.C.11 (OOS 12 ) by first booting to twrp-3.6.1_11-0-kebab.img and then flashed the KB2005_11_C_OTA_1100_all_362b9b_10100001.zip. After the upgrade I had no mobile data on t-mobile and had Volte instead of 5g...
forum.xda-developers.com
Someone mentions extracting the boot.img from stock image and flashing it. I would imagine it should work for you if the stock firmware can be found and circumstances are similar. Maybe at least a start. Wish I could be of more help, maybe someone else can chime in that knows more.
Try Linux, maybe a live dist. if your on a windows machine that won't recognize it just to get it into a state that you can work with it again.
Just an idea, I don't want to steer you wrong as i still have a lot to learn

Fyi according to a recently made friend who also had the 7 digit serial issue, they were told by OnePlus their dev team is working on an OTA update that will resolve the serial number issues. I'm not sure how that's going to work but I saw the email between them and Oppo support
I guess this must be a widespread issue that they feel is cheaper to invest the amount of money it takes for r&d to come up with a fix than it was to replace a few devices or attempt to do remote repairs.
But this also makes me wonder what avenue they will take to correct the issue.
Also I wonder if someone with the right skillset could gather enough bootloader unlock codes along with the unlock tokens, serial, IMEI, pcba etc.. maybe the algorithm their using to generate the codes could be broken. I'm no crypto expert or math genius either, but if we have the variables to the equation minus one but have the answer, isn't this pretty simple almost pre-algebra?
I mean I guess their not worried about enough people being brave enough to give out sensitive info like that. But maybe Im just ignorant of the complexity of these algorithms.
64 digit key on one end
T-Mobile bought sprint and they have T-Mobile sims no. But I understand that sprint is still a somewhat seperate company (tried to buy a T-Mobile phone and it would not activate on my sprint account. So I bought this from the sprint side of the T-Mobile site so I knew it would work but I assume this is a sprint phone and not a T-Mobile phone so this method would not work.
Can anyone confirm this?

okay peep theres a way i put my oneplus into efu mode, hold both vol up and down then put usb c in continue to hold u should hear PC recognize it
So, before i do it, would deleting the modemst1/modemst2 partitions still let me bypass the t-mobile sim lock and let me unlock the phone like it did on the old oneplus phones?
Flashed a patched boot.img and lost modems. Anyone willing to post the modems? Are they device specific like a device partition?
Sim locked and trying to recover. No radios are working
