[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] martexx:
Hi, i tried that and actually all these steps seem to go well. But after that i kind of bricked my phone.

Googling for hours brought it back via sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Im in desperate need of working firmware now ))

download lineageos org/paella >> is only for x5 not x5 plus

BQ seems not to have release a firmware online, the flashtool does not work as it complains that the phone is locked,

sudo fastboot oem unlock-go

...

OKAY [ 0.000s]

finished. total time: 0.000s

but no effect (((

fastboot oem device-info

sudo fastboot oem device-info

...

(bootloader)	Device tampered: false

(bootloader)	Device unlocked: true

(bootloader)	Device critical unlocked: false

(bootloader)	Charger screen enabled: true

(bootloader)	Display panel:

OKAY [ 0.005s]

finished. total time: 0.005s

the firmware at shenron bq com/ otas/ 2016/SM...8976_gohan__user_-_20170109-134157_update.zip does not get installed, it gives an error

so does storage googleapis com /otas...BQ/1.6.0_20161229-1655-gohan-user-1047-FW zip
