---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

I have found a way to

UNLOCK bootloader

again!!!!

PLease put in your guide so, people can do the same. I had mine bootloader locked. But after searching on some chinees website. I found a way and it WORKED! :highfive: I have now again a unlocked bootloader!!!

The website is in chinees but dont worry people you just need to fill in some data.

1: go to the website : https://www.zui.com/iunlock

fill box 1 your IMEI 1

fill box 2 your SERIAL key (the key that you get when you connect to fastboot and use the command 'Fastboot Devices')

fill box 3 your email

fill box 4 the security code that you see to the right of it ( Four numbers )

check the last box, as accepting the rules for warranty blabla. And click the BLUE BIG button :P

Now wait and have patience! After a while you will get a email with a file in it. Download that file and put it in your adb folder.

now check your device first if its connected and that you see the serial.

- > Fastboot devices <-

If YES than continue...

Use the command :

Fastboot flash unlock (name_of_the_file).img

after that use command:

fastboot oem unlock-go

And your bootloader is UNLOCKED AGAIN !!! :eek::highfive::good:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperia_bird:
For people who wants to use google assistant as primary app, but needs to confirm it every time. Which is quit annoying. I have found a solution for it. (I did this in ZUI 10 ported)

Do this only if you understand how to do it. Or else you may end up in bootloop. So don't blame ME for it!

1:

Just erase system apps. Levoice and sysSetLevoice with the app System app Remover from google play.

2:

After that install a Root explorer and go to

- /system/etc/permissions.

In that directory you need to delete one file and edit one. Do NOT touch the rest!

3:

Delete this file(or cut on move it to your downloads map)

-privapp-permissions-com.lenovo.levoice_agent.xml.

4:

After that open and edit this file in text editor of Root explorer. It will give a notice that its "read only" file, but accept to change it one time to read-write permission.

-privvapp-permissions-zui.xml.

After you open this file in text editor, go all the way down to the bottom of the file. And delete the last permission rule for Levoice completely between the permissions marks /. Dont delete anything else!

5:

After delete, save and exit. And set your Default app to google assistant in Settings. Than Reboot phone. And say "Hey google" and there she is. Making your life easy again?

(also deleting only the 'Security' system app, brings notifications back, after a couple of reboots. Don't erase many Chinese system apps, if you don't know what they are. It can bring problems to the device)

If yes I must agree this version works very well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vosathanh:
phone call Problems again on 4.0.474. I flash back to 3.9.075 with the tick "erase all b4 download". This made the phone lost all data and wifi:D.

I brought data back by flashing qcn, and flash persist to bring wifi back. All run ok without calling problems so far.

But my imei now only slot 1. Tried to restore 2 times but only 1 slot :(

===Edit===

Try following on stock rom and got back 2 imei slot:

Your phone must be rooted (with magisk)

Enable USB Debugging.

Connect device to computer.

1)Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot command prompt.

2)Type adb devices → enter.

3)adb shell → enter.

4)su → enter.

5)setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb → enter.

Then u can restore qcn with qfil (tick on enabla multi-sim)

==> QFIL ask to reset the phone, just reboot the phone. Once booted up, repeat 5 steps above and QFIL will finish flashing.

Done

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperia_bird:
I had the same problem, i did fixed it with a clean install.

So if your on stock rom, use option "Erase all before download" and "Reset after download". And flash the stock rom again. Remember that you will need to fix wifi and imei again.

If your on custom rom, just follow the guide of thread you used to flash stock rom again. Before that flash twrp and Wipe everything, system, vendor, data,cache...

Than make clean install for your phone.

Im going to try doing a fresh install and try and remove the recovery stuff ( as best i can ) and see what happens but Ive seen her phone and theres literally nothing on it you cant DL from the PlayStore and shes not 'tech savvy' so she doesn't use anything that would cause an issue, she couldn't update her phone if she wanted to. Whatever it is I would guess it is SnapChats app being overly aggressive towards some setting on the phone, but a chat app being more aggressive than banking or credit card apps is bloody ridiculous imo. Ive told her to use a different app but they ( her friends etc ) all seem to organise their lives through that app so its a cause of grief for me lol, personally i cant wait for those aliens to come find us cos im on the first ship outta here :D

As for previous post with images, using adb should be the correct way to unlock. kingroot and other one click apps are thing of the past and should be avoided on new phones, but supersu is still ok. I prefer magisk, but that is the very last step and is no different.

I am hoping that oem unlock will appear for me 7 days after the software update and at that point i will try out to unlock bootloader, load (not flash) twrp and flash magisk for root.
