[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abouazzaoui:
Hello,

I tried unlocking bootloader too many times with no luck!

- i tried using fastboot: vol+ not working (even if i press too many times), when i click on vol- i got back to boot select.

- i tried using Thunder box: same as fastboot

- i tried using mtkclient: doesn't work either (tried on different PC), commands finish but bootloader not unlocked.

i hope someone can help me out, i manage to root the phone but the bootloader is still locked!

my phone is S23 Ultra Clone (MT6737).

all i want is to replace this ****ty ROM and install GSI ROM, i tried 3 methods:

1- using fastboot: but again the bootloader is locked and i can't flash the img.

2- i installed TWRP; when i click reboot to recovery my phone always boot to normal boot!!!!

3- i downloaded DSU sideloader but it doesnt get installed!!

please help me out.

thank you

Thanks for the reply, i tried it but it doesn't do anything!!

my phone is detected as VCOM but nothing happens;

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david7xw:
Maybe try again, not sure... Dont even think your fake device suports Treble
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abouazzaoui:
it is supported, i already checked that.

is there any method that i can use to unlock my bootloader?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david7xw:
can you boot into fastboot? if yes run "fastboot flashing unlock" in platform tools terminal
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abouazzaoui:
i tried that as well, attached the screenshot of the error i get.

and when i run the other command: fastboot oem unlock then i get attached screenshot; i try to click VOL+ but it doesn't get clicked, when i click on VOL- i get back to recovery mode
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david7xw:
Hm, i have no other ideas. Only idea i have is to get a paid unlock tool that may not even work. Other than that i have no ideas, sorry
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] UglyStuff:
Hi everyone,

Can any of you guys provide me with a comprehensive, step-by-step, for-dummies tutorial on how to install an EU ROM on my Poco F5, to replace the Global one I already have?

It seems that EU and other region-specific ROMs receive more frequent updates than the Global ones, and on top of that, apparently they offer functionalities a Global ROM doesn't have, such as customizing AOD, among other things.

I would really like to try an EU ROM, but I don't want to risk to brick my phone...
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
Are you talking about stock EEA rom for Europe or Xiaomi Eu rom?

EDIT:

In any case, whether it is a Xiaomi Eu or stock ROM, the first step is to unlock the bootloader, the wait before finalization is 168 hours.

But it is not a given because currently and for 2 months many users are experiencing problems and this comes from Xiaomi, so one thing to do remains the possibility of unlocking by paying.

Unlock bootloader

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] UglyStuff:
OK, thanks for the explanation. One thing's for sure: I ain't paying to unlock anything... I bought this device and it works very well, the AOD notwithstanding (and I use a third-party app as a workaround), so I don't see the point in unlocking the bootloader and jump through all those hoops just to get more regular and/or frequent updates.

Thanks anyway, and enjoy your Sunday!
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
Thanks.

The unlocking problem is not systematic, some people don't have it.

Xiaomi Eu roms have options that do not exist on the Global version since they are based on Chinese firmware.

Take a look here.

thanks mate
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] System23:
To give you a bit of a statement on this information, it fully revives fastboot for millions of dynamic devices, especially at Samsung, and has not been widely distributed, since Samsung has less to do with the fastboot rail. This is a highlight for everyone Know and love fastboot in its range of functions and also prefer to use a terminal to give commands yourself, and anyone who knows fastboot also knows how powerful this shell is, because it is one of the android platform tools from the android developers and like adb was in In my career, this pair was an absolutely sufficient combination, but sufficient only because I didn't need the full range of functions but it was there, of course TWRP also played a role for flashing ZIPs, and anyone who follows the trail will also find out my view of things and in which My appreciation is clearly to be a small part of the bigger picture and to connect it with things that are really understandable. You are now also a part with your forum and I very much hope that there are or will be lovers for this story, that is me worth more than a quick fame that goes by again, so I combine something that, in my opinion, can be seen without taking off
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] System23:
and to conclude the rescue course, I hate it when developers of well-known things that represent something and spread it widely everywhere distance themselves from damage to the device and don't want to be responsible for it!!!! Dude, I really have too many small repair instructions to give because you can be sure that it won't cause irreparable damage to the device!!! Shouldn't you put so much trust in something like this if you've been representing it for decades? The successes and the recognition were enough, why are you not able to describe such a small but effective repair guide and make people look stupid with problems that are initially unknown to them, which have no dramatic effect at all, but some people are overwhelmed by it !!! Well my conclusion is that intelligent people just can't do it easy ,because it's the hardest for them!!!!:cool:

Hello dear users of xda forum I would like to warn you that new versions of vebmeta can lead you to brick your devices and you will not be able to turn them on and enter the flash mode and flash through Odin to solve this problem you will have to wait about a week until the tablet is not discharged or contact the service center for help in disconnecting and reconnecting the battery again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Dan0001:
hi why i am getting this error?

i am using virtual machine ubuntu 22.04lts.

help please help asap.

and attaching the unpatched recovery and vbmeta of my stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Maxim-Root:
Hello sir, I have fixed your recovery. After analyzing your image, I saw 2 errors. 1. It is that you don't have the right files. You should just download the archive, unzip it, then copy your recovery and if necessary your vebmeta there. 2. You need to run commands from root (from sudo command), if you have more questions you can message me in telegram https://t.me/MaximRoot
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Dan0001:
hi.

thanks for the patched recovery but its not booting into recovery now how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Maxim-Root:
The first is that you can use a full flashing with data saving and the second is to use vebmeta Which comes with the archive
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Maxim-Root:
Well, it may be that this recovery fix method is not possible on your device
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Dan0001:
update it worked thanks. i guess it just the vbmeta is needed to be replaced i repacked the patched recovery one with the one i got from stock rom and repacked it as archive by 7zip in tar formate along with your patched recovery img.lz4 file extracted from your patched recovery file itself and just repacked both of them in one single tar file.

but i do want to learn how to patch the stock recovery on wsl will you help me out on that too?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Maxim-Root:
Yes of course I will help you I have recorded you a mini instruction how to do it here is the link please read it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Dan0001:
appriceated...! :)

but i am not able to extract the img files thou i am able to extract the img.lz4 files how to fix this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Maxim-Root:
This script accepts both img files and img.lz4. It still archives them all to lz4 when it's done. (My own personal heyfact on how I turn img.lz4 into just an img. I erase the lz4 format from the file name, and it turns into a regular img file.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Dan0001:
ah okay but then also it's showing errors like this while patching.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Dan0001:
hey?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Maxim-Root:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stevenx23x:
hi, first of all, thank you for supporting my thread, I haven't been online for a while, but what do you think the whole recovery track can be damaged during the signature check, I think that's impossible because there's no reference to it other than the HASH stored for it Verification is required if the VBMETA is incorrect, an ERROR is issued which stops the boot process, but download and recovery mode can still be started, and the added vbmeta files are adapted to the binary version of the S22, but everyone can create their own VBMETA To do this, simply install Magisk Manager APP and copy AP_xxxxxx.tar.md5 to the device and patch it in Magisk Manager and copy the Patched_xxxxxx.tar from the device to the PC and extract the VBMETA from the TAR archive and add it to the package!!!! But in a nutshell, a Modified VBMETA never destroys the repair environment
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stevenx23x:
OK, the video instructions are a bit complicated, but apart from converting vbmeta, renaming is actually correct. I would like to explain to you how to create your own vbmeta for your binary and get the files from the firmware/STOCKROM, watch the video and you'll know

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stevenx23x:
Hi Peoples,

Now that I know not everyone can do this so easily with Linux/WSL, I took my time and modified the patching process for Windows so that only the recovery.img.lz4 needs to be copied into the folder and the patch.exe has to be started, luckily there was magiskboot.exe and the rest can be handled with CygWin without any problems. I hope this helps some people. I have updated everything in the entire database so that patch recovery is now available for Windows/Linux, and too i have UPDATE the vbmeta.img.lz4 for Binary 6 Binary 7 Binary 8!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Bnnnnnn:
Hello so I'm trying to patch my recovery Ive seen that you need to get your VBMeta from the Stock Rom you download but I don't have it I only have the following

dtbo.img.lz4

init_boot.img.lz4

vendor_boot.img.lz4

recovery.img.lz4

boot.img.lz4

I don't seem to have a vb meta image I'm not sure what I can do if anyone can help id be very grateful ive linked my recovery.img and recovery.img.lz4 in case someone can patch it for me when I try patching the recovery.img.lz4 and the recovery.img I get these errors I'm on Linux and Ive tried running the commands both as sudo su and non SU any help would be majorly appreciated

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] shadybackhand:
I have a s21+ through verizon which does not allow bootloader unlock. Any knowledge on this version? Ive tried putting about 20 hours in research a few months back trying to unlock the p.o.s. and finally grumpily tossed it into a drawer. Seeing this as I was searching posts about the op 7 pro I bought just to root as all my other attempts with several devices have failed only to find out the 7 pro is no longer supported as its on an Android version that wont allow unlocking of the bootloader any longer. ( Made me really want to cry) Hopefully I will not be yet again denied any sense of accomplishment in the rooting dept. T.y. in advance for any insight you may have.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stevenx23x:
Can you describe this in more detail? Is the OEM UNLOCK button not present or is it grayed out and not available? and the OnePlus 7 Pro, you simply activate developer options enable USB debugging, connect the device to the PC/laptop and download android platform tools and start them in the console/terminal and "adb devices" shows whether the device is connected You should get a notification on your device and confirm with allow then "adb devices" then "adb reboot bootloader" let the device start and then continue with "fastboot devices" you should see your device, then "fastboot oem unlock" and on your Device, the menu explains itself """ then """ you can write all the partitions that are necessary via fastboot, it's best to download twrp and "fastboot boot twrp.xxxxxx.img" and then you can flash zips!!! In general I can't say anything more about it. I didn't find any spears on the OP 7 Pro. Most of the time it was just the people's fault!!! MFG Steven

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Techguy777:
some dll file was not found. I have a tab s8 plus I want to patch recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] shadybackhand:
So the OEM unlocking option is completely absent from the dev settings. I have downloaded the most current android tools package. The newest is actually pretty legit as it comes with a set of tools that make several different tasks streamlined for those whom aren't familiar with the whole process, or those who know how but just want to be lazy. :D so apparently the s21+5g Verizon flavor is pretty much unrootable as vzw locks all their bootloader's as far as im aware. In my mind I'm thinking who cares if you can somehow flash an image of a formware package from another carrier. Again without extensive knowledge in the subject but only enough to be dangerous, I'm thinking that it's all the same hardware from Samsung or whatever manufacturer, so why can't I do what they do when loading the software onto the phones before shipping the out to the different carriers? Anyway the Samsung cannot be rolled back previous to the current bootloader version. Super lame in my opinion.

For the op7p, I found the APK to load updates from local finally (the link is in the updated apps description or about tab of the app) but all the firmware versions I've tried flashing come back with an error that I cannot think of at the present moment. Last night I just took a stab at trying to take my 1917 version and flash it with a global MSM tool and I managed to hard brick it in ESL mode. I walked away at that point but I should be able to bring it back to life as my computer still recognizes it in Edl mode, but I don't have the proper MSM tool package, all the ones I've found so far seem to have broken links and no matter how I try to reword my search queries, I keep ending up with nothing new and all the same posts I've read so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stevenx23x:
So the good news is that you will probably be successful with the SamFW tool to get the OEM unlock button on your Samsung, just try to deactivate it with the KNOX tool, and yes EDL Mode is the Emergency Download Mode which is indestructible, but the bad news is that the tools cost money because you first need the files like programmer.xml patch.xml and msn-bootlader images in order to be able to upload it via the QPST. I'll give you a tip, see if the chimera tool supports your cell phone and pay €60 and your attempt will work Be sure of success, bro just follow these steps and you'll see it works, I've had this **** before and found the solution at EDL after 3 months and got the device working again, and Samsung yes for me If the button has already disappeared, simply deactivate knox with the samfw tool and after restarting you can unlock your bootloader. I've had it like that before, you'll probably have tripped knox through your attempts. Try it and at least say thank you if it works

in Attachment two things you need

QPST Tool v2.7.496 for Windows

Download the official QPST Tool v2.7.496, which enables you to flash the stock firmware on your Qualcomm smartphones and tablets.
