[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] that1guyyep101:
Okay so long story short... I learned how to unlock the bootloader using the "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" command. I then used "Kingo ROOT" to root it while connecting phone to my computer.

Everything went fine, I thought.

Yes the phone bootloader showed "unlocked" and I was able to root the phone.

But I noticed the phone was acting very weird....

1. It was rebooting itself.

2. The wifi hotspot kept turning itself off.... (I use hotspot from phone for internet for laptop)

3. Sometimes after it would reboot in the notification area there would be a icon... like a package downloading icon, that would quickly go away before I could swipe down to see what was going on with it.

4. When I would open an app such as play store, then switch to another one such as firefox, then decide I wanted to switch back to play store it would lag severely, and also usually all the icons would disappear and it would just show the background image. Then they would quickly reload. Then playstore would come back up... but not where I left off... it was like play store had reopened, even though it was already opened.

What I mean is if I switched from APP A to APP B and had each one on a specific spot, then APP A should be where I left off when I switch back to it, right? But this was not the case. There would be a lag, then it was as if whatever app I switched back to would reopen and not remember where I left off.

5. My texts would take wayyyyyy longer to send.

There may have been a few other issues but I can't think of them right now. Anyways point blank: I was scared.

I have had a phone act somewhat abnormally before, but not this bad.

It was like it was hiding stuff from me. The lagging was awful. It was like when a computer gets taken over and becomes useless until you get it fixed.

Anyways so I then unrooted the phone, figured out how to get the bootloader to say "PHONE Relocked"

But how do I get it to say "LOCKED" like it did before I unlocked it?

I have searched for around an hour and a half and haven't found anything.

I tried the "fastboot flashing lock" then hit enter. Under the command it will show "..." for forever like it isn't doing anything.

So then I unplug the phone from the computer and it says "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) finished. total time: timehere

I also tried "fastboot oem lock" but it says "FAILED (remote: Invalid command) blah blah.

I read somewhere that "fastboot oem lock" only works if your device is S-OFF

I then looked up what this S-OFF and S-ON means. From my understanding it's a way to protect the device from modification of files that control the radio, camera, etc. to prevent the phone from being "bricked" and whatnot.

So is this why I am unable to run the "fastboot oem lock" command successfully?

I'm not sure if the "fastboot flashing lock" works as I never waited for it to time out or anything. It just kept sitting there like it wasn't doing anything so I unplugged the phone from the computer.

How do I get the device to be S-ON?

I just want it to say "Phone LOCKED" or whatever it said originally.... help please?

The phone is a Huawei Ascend Mate 2 model: MT2-L03 running the B322 build. Android 5.1

Emui version: 3.1 if that matters.

Anyways thank you. I apologize if this topic is in the wrong area and that my post is lengthy or confusing.

I have Huawei Update Extractor if that helps. I also have the "UPDATE.APP" and "UPDATE_VENDOR.APP" files.
