[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Dashaquavius:
Update: The guys at Razer are just about as clueless as a retail phone carrier. They told me to do the exact same thing, the factory reset and all that, but they don't know what they're doing.

So FYI: IF YOU'RE BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED AND YOUR OS WON'T START, YOU'RE SCREWED.

Okay so I rooted the phone on Oreo, the second to last update, and tried to update it to the May update, and the update kept failing inside the system update app. So, I tried installing it by flashing it from a computer. Unsuccessfully. So, I booted into TWRP and installed every image manually through TWRP. Bootlooped it. Soooooo I tried to flash the latest stock image from the computer, and it goes through, but the phone refuses to turn on. And I can't even unlock the bootloader because in the command prompt it says it's not allowed. So I'm stuck with a paperweight that won't unlock any bootloaders and won't even boot into the OS. I think I royally screwed it up and I desperately just wanna use the phone again.

I've tried everything. My drivers are correct, and It just won't cooperate with me no matter what I do to it. It'll either keep booting into download mode or get stuck on the splash screen forever.

I'm literally desperate at this point. I can't do anything with this thing!!! I can't flash anything because it's locked and the phone won't boot into the OS for me to even unlock it.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Rox598:
How did you get twrp with a locked bootloader? :S is that a thing now?

You cant flash the factory images without an unlocked bootloader. So if you didn't check the OEM unlock allowed setting you won't be able to unlock it so won't be able to flash the firmware.

Honestly i think you're out of luck if you can't unlock your bootloader.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] iliais347:
Wait how did your bootloader relock itaelf? Because that can happen only with the lock/lock_critical command.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

Did you say the factory images fully flash with no errors? Both "fastboot flashing unlock/unlock_critical" don't work?
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] waiflih:
You should try the flash_all.bat or flash_all.sh script from the latest images. If you want to keep your data just comment or erase the line with the "fastboot erase userdata" in the flash_all.

Be sure to have fastboot in your path
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Dashaquavius:
1. I didn't flash TWRP with the bootloader in the locked state, it was while it was unlocked.

2. Out of desperation, after flashing the stock images multiple times (while it says errors and maximum download reached and stuff) I re-locked the bootloader with the command thinking it would finally at least boot into the OS, to no avail.

3. Factory images didn't flash without some kind of error.

4. I'm unable to run any kind of commands, it says it's not allowed.

5. I've flashed multiple times, flashed the previous updates and the latest updates, and there's always some kind of error or it's not allowed.

I'm just gonna contact Razer. Apparently, I can't flash anything if the bootloader is locked? And the phone won't even boot into the OS to let me tick the option? I think I'm screwed.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] waiflih:
For what you are telling you may have an outdated fastboot version. Can you try flash_all and post the error messages? kinda difficult to help without that
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Dashaquavius:
It says flashing is not allowed for everything.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] waiflih:
Ok that is indeed strange. Take a look at this https://insider.razer.com/index.php...afe-method-warning-rebuilds-partitions.23532/

its for the robin but since you already tried everything else you can give it a shot

And apparently, absolutely NO OTG support!

how did you manage to get razer to agree a replacement??.i had a speaker issue and had to send a video of my problem then a week later they finally agreed to replace it.you have done really well for them to accept phone back for replacemnet..as for relocking bootloader as far as i read the other day once you do this phone is bricked

Interesting. I sent 2 phones with speaker issues and they offered a replacement for both and gave me shipping labela.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F.

I ran Odin, flashed stock, got a "PASS" in Odin, phone rebooted but nothing happened, everything was still there.

I did everything according to the guide, no errors, phone downloaded and everything seemed to be ok. I've done this before (not on this phone) but never had this happen.

Huawei is closing bootloader unlocking on ALL DEVICES 60 days from now, what's your opinion?
[P8lite General] baπdit:
Actually I think it's pretty crappy because I won't have access to a pc in that time.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

If they really consider closing it they should at least get all their devices up to date
[P8lite General] kosmitchak:
Just grab your code now, and you will be able to unlock bootloader anytime.
[P8lite General] Ahmedoov:
Great. Now I have to think twice before buying a new huawei phone -_-

I really like huawei phones but I can never live without root and Xposed
[P8lite General] :
You still have 60 days if it comforts you ?
[P8lite General] HustenBumBum:
Is Bruteforcing a option?

The Unlock code is only 16 digit and numbers only.

To bruteforce my own Unlock code it will take ~2 days.

If somebody would code a script that do it for you...

This would take time but a good option :)
[P8lite General] :
Well, it's not a bad option actually.
[P8lite General] keikari:
Wouldn't it take too long to try to brute force it? If it is 16 digits long there is 10,000,000,000,000,000

possibilities.
[P8lite General] :
Yeah.... But it is a possibility
[P8lite General] vampirian:
It wouldn't take only 2 days. Bruteforcing bootloader is not a router. Router can be bruteforced in seconds. In order to bruteforce a bootloader you have to create way too many tools and attack it by exploiting it.

Bootloader id is a combination of 3 serials x 16.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] b3zCesr:
I've been reading the various rooting threads for a couple of days and overall the process seems pretty complicated with many different Nokia 6 versions, and different tools to use, etc.

Is there a way to get root with just the stock bootloader? I only want to do a few sudo operations once in a while, not flash any ROMs. Is this possible somehow? I'm using TA-1003 with 8.0.0 + April security update.

Thanks
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] vq8acsxht:
Your best bet is to return the phone. Nokia has made a really, really bad bet by locking the boot loader. I think that by getting burnt by windows, they decided to jump back into the frying pan again. They don't understand what "OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE" is. If they had a clue, they would not lock the boot loader. I returned mine because there will not be any active development or roms. I wanted the phone so I could root it, like you, and then unlock the sound features from the sound chip. So, don't bother rooting the phone, just return it or keep it stock.

In a year or two, Nokia will flop or get the idea that they want active development so people will buy their phones. It is a bad way to enter the market.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] b3zCesr:
In principle I agree but I've used the phone for almost a year lol and sadly the power user community is really very small and so there's not much motivation for Nokia to make open phones. This seems especially true to me, since they're offering the phone as an Amazon prime adware phone, for example, so there is in fact a motivation to not open the phone, since it might let users remove the adware from their subsidized hardware...

Does anyone know if the the bootloader on the Amazon Exclusive G6 (4/64) is unlockable?

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Nickvanexel:
Has anyone else here played this game on the essential phone? I have a couple of strange glitches. I initially thought they were associated to my original faulty device, but after receiving my warranty replacement that is not faulty the same issues still persist on PUBG Mobile. So I am assuming it's something with this phone in general.

First glitch is some artifacting during the loading screen on the notch end of the phone. I am assuming this is because of the screen resizing to accommodate for the notch. It seems like it starts to attempt to resize the screen a few times in a row every once in a while resulting in what looks like some screen glitching. I've noticed this in other apps while using them too like chrome and OfferUp. Looks like every once in a while the app suddenly attempts to resize back to full screen mode for a split second, then immediately shrinks back down again to cut out the notch area.

Other issue is while using both fingers on the screen at the same time. Moving while aiming for instance it will spin my character around a little bit.

Doesn't display any of this behavior on any other phones I've ever had. I already contacted the publisher of the game but Wondering if anyone else has these issues and knows a workaround.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
Android P fixes all of the touch related bugs. Game is running flawlessly on my phone
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Thomas Cloutier:
I'm on P also, but I still get the glitch that I got in Oreo
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
Strange, I don't at all. I full wiped and flashed from fastboot though. Did you ota?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Nickvanexel:
So you still have the graphical glitches?

How do I get P?

Also is it possible to force games and other apps to utilize the full screen pace around the notch? As much as I don't like apple I do notice in YouTube videos that it does fully utilize the notch area on the iPhone X.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Nickvanexel:
Alright nevermind found the settings in developer options from YouTube video to force all apps to use the notch area.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Thomas Cloutier:
I flashed the ota through adb, did not factory reset though. I think the issue is involving the multi touch that was broken in and 8.1, and I don't think Google has fixed the issue
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
Yes they have. Lol I'm using it fine right now.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Thomas Cloutier:
Well I'm still having issues with mine
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
Like I said before, I flashed the full fastboot file, not just the ota. It is fixed completely. You could try that.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] teawhyjelly:
Yes! God, I thought I was the only one with the multi touch issue..but I'm too lazy and stupid to get P so I suppose I'm out of luck.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] pementosequence:
There's a fix for the multi touch glitch bug. It's a magisk module called "Pixel 8.1 multi-touch fix".

Let me warn you, DO NOT install it if you are on the stock essential ROM, because it will fail to boot. It is only safe on AOSP based ROMs. I can only vouch for myself that it works flawlessly with lineage. If you are on stock ROM you'll have to wait until essential releases a fix.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Nickvanexel:
I just read up on it a little. Apparently it's an issue with all phones running 8.1.0 Oreo witch I did not know. My original essential PH1 was faulty, kept crashing and rebooting so I thought this was part of the faulty device.

Looks like they plan to release a fix in June security update.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
So then are you on Android 9 aka P or not?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Nickvanexel:
No. Just going to wait until they release the fix for 8.1.0
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
i thought the pixel now has the fix from the May patch... maybe our June update will fix this? How is P ? stable enough for daily driver.. cause i like my chicken dinner!!

Incredible... P preview makes this phone amazing.. touch response is way better.. pubg is soooo much more playable.. no more touch issues or screen jumping around.. got me some chicken just a few minutes ago
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
The difference is insane right? Night and day. Even if there were any bugs, which I haven't noticed any, I still wouldn't be able to go back I don't think.

Way smoother, all touch bugs fixed, better battery life... What's not to like?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
Yep.. only bug I have seen is that wifi isn't on when phone is restarted..
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Thomas Cloutier:
Yep, everything is great for a dev preview. I fixed my PUBG, by just uninstalling, then reinstalling the game. Runs flawlessly

I'm sure there's a way without TWRP. I'd try to lend a hand but I've been away from OnePlus for so long I don't know how it's different than my Pixel 2 XL.

I'd dig around the OnePlus 5T forums. software wise, it should be the same. You'll probably find a quick solution over there. Good luck!

EDIT: Now I'm curious... Does anyone know if there is a way to lash a factory Oxygen OS image through fastboot commands? That would solve your problem, but I don't know if that's something specific to Pixel devices.

Download this zip

Unpack it to any folder

Reboot the 6 in fastboot mode

Connect it to PC

Run flash-all.bat in the folder where it's been unzipped to

Wait until it reboots

I did it too don't worry.

Go flash the stock recovery from another XDA post. It's in chinese, and will wipe the corrupt ROM, but be aware you losing everything.

Then lock your bootloader and you will get error: device corrupt and can't be trusted. This means all your corrupt side will be 100% gone. Then unlock it, flash twrp, flash the stock ROM, flash the stock recovery in Chinese again, lock your bootloader, boot, unlock it again and you are done :)

If you used the zip I linked it should be a global ROM.

When you do the setup you can change the language to Chinese or whatever but the ROM is the one you can download from the OnePlus site in the UK.

No, there is no legal way without paying the full balance to rent a center, you bought an unpaid device, so the seller was not the legal owner, so to speak, is like buying a stolen device, I advise you to contact the seller, and to not seek for any method to unlawfully bypass the lock here in XDA, someone started an almost equal thread, and it was closed...
