[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] oemy:
I am trying to unlock the bootloader of my Moto G100 (bought second-hand), device codename: nio.

Back Story​

Although I already have unlocked the bootloader of a few devices (also another Motorola device), I am relatively new to this.

If you have more experience, this section will probably seem trivial to you and you might prefer to skip to the Problem section. However, I can imagine it also helps some people if I write detailed information here what I did, including what did not work.

Retrieving the device ID​

Correct Boot Mode​

Following the official instructions of Motorola, I first tried to retrieve the "device id" by running fastboot oem get_unlock_data.

First of all, in the instructions they ask you to put the device into "fastboot mode". In fastboot mode, running this command results in

In fact, one seems to rather need bootloader mode, as other sources say, and that is what I did in the following.

Status read failed​

On my Ubuntu Laptop, the device is shown when running fastboot devices after putting it in bootloader mode, but running the above command only results in

or

Successful retrieval​

After reading somewhere that simply trying a different host device can lead to success, I tried the same on my Raspberry Pi, also running Ubuntu, and it worked.

So I retrieved the "device id" and sent it to Motorola, and they sent me back a 20-digit uppercase hexadecimal "unlock key" via e-mail.

Entering the unlock key​

Still on my Raspberry Pi, the device still in bootloader mode, I tried to complete the unlocking process by running fastboot oem unlock, followed by said key I received from Motorola.

At the first try, it said

so I rebooted, went to the Developer Options, had to connect to the Internet because the option was greyed out. This did not change for a few minutes, while I had to fight various side-effects of the internet connection enabling bloatware (mostly Google) getting on my nerves. When I finally had deactivated a bunch of Google Apps, the "OEM unlocking" option became available after a few minutes. I enabled it and rebooted to bootloader by running adb reboot bootloader on my Raspberry Pi.

Problem​

When running fastboot oem unlock followed by my unlock key, I have to wait about 30 seconds, but then I only get

and the device still seems to be locked.

I have also tried to fully charge the phone or to run this with or without SIM card inserted, which changes nothing. On my other computer or in fastboot mode, I get the same problems as in the device id retrieval step as described above. I also tried to re-retrieve the device id (as it could possibly have changed by rebooting or enabling the "OEM unlocking" option), but it is still the same, and re-sending it to Motorola also leads to receiving the same unlock key.

Of course I searched XDA and the rest of the internet, but at no place I found this empty-string remote FAILED message.

Thanks in advance for any ideas how to solve this!

What does getvar all say? Remove the imei before posting

[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] oemy:
Nvm, this is kind of embarrassing: Just solved it by looking at the phone screen while executing the command again 🤦‍♂️

According to the official instructions by Motorola,

so I thought no interaction directly on the phone was required.

But in fact, as i’ve just read in this excellent post, not only should one

(Bold formatting added, in both quotes.)

Since my Raspberry Pi and connected nio were in another room while I tried unlocking the nio (controlling the Pi via SSH), I had not seen the prompt. After 30 s there seems to be a timeout and the unlocking fails.

Only reading said post made me look on the screen. During these 30 s, there was a warning shown on the phone screen, and I had to navigate and confirm using the hardware buttons that I really want to unlock the device. Then it worked instantly.

This teaches me once again:

Official instructions can be inaccurate.

Check all effects when running a command (two screens in this case).

Search the forum first (I did, but appearantly not good enough).

Maybe this can still help someone :)

I have a blacklisted phone. If I install a custom ROM, will the IMEI change?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Oswald Boelcke:
Hello and good good evening, @Alp_12 Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require and have enjoyable times on our Forums.

However, I've closed your thread! Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.

XDA Forum Rules (excerpt):

Please refrain from such support requests on XDA in future. Thanks for your cooperation! As you know that your device is blacklisted, you should consider to drop this stolen or robbed device at the nearest police station. You won't certainly get any support for it on XDA. Therefore I've also closed your other thread:

Also any real downside of going to Android 15 dev build? Are the usual suspects working, Magisks, lposed ?

[General Questions and Answers] simon.m:
A speaker keeps popping up in my notifications spot. It says "soggiorno" (living room) and "Spotify". When I hold down it says it's a Google Play Services notification. I've tried swiping it away, hitting stop, hitting pause, disconnecting bluetooth, etc. It just keeps coming back. I've never knowingly used Google Play Services, so I don't know what the speaker is/how it works. Furthermore I don't have any speaker device paired to my phone via bluetooth, nor Spotify installed on my phone.

What is it?!?

First, I love this app! And thanks to all for the hard work!

But I do have an issue...

I did a hard reset on my Omnia and installed TF2D. But I can't seem to get it to take up the whole screen. I have about an inch of dead empty space below the app. Basically it stops just above the volume keys. Anyone else see this? Any ideas on what I can do to make it expand more?
[General Questions and Answers] ned4spd8874:
I think I may have at least figured out what's going on. Maybe some settings from other themes are hanging around and not being deleted before applying the new theme? For instance I also noticed that "am" by the time is not the same font as the time itself.

Also, looking in my Windows folder I have about 450 files with the names "hh_email..., hh_fw...", hh_hm...", etc. And about 216 in the Windows\ManilaGFX with similar naming. Is this normal. I did a hard reset last night. But maybe when I sync'ed it, it carried over some of the bad settings from before???

UPDATE: I think I'm going to have to Hard Reset it...again. I'm thinking that I have a couple issues going on here. I think that after I reset it last night, the sync copied over the bad files back into the Windows directory.

Now, I can copy the original HTChomesettings.xml into the Windows directory and it works. Kinda...but as soon as I use the M2DC program to switch themes, it messes everything up again. Not sure what's going on here. And no matter what I try now, I don't have any of the icons in my weather tab. This sucks.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] chrisyroid:
I'm getting the same issue.

Tried the button combo, tried to boot into the bootloader using the cmd line and even through fastbootd.

What happens:

1. Use whatever method to get into bootloader.

2. Phone displays the bootloader/fastboot logo for half a second then boots normally.

I have found a temporary workaround somewhere here which involves dumping the abl partition into an image from the android 13 rom then flashing it using fastbootd.

flash abl abl.img

This will temporarily brick your device causing it to boot into the bootloader repeatedly instead of starting normally so make sure you have the android 14 abl image handy. The good thing is now you can do everything you want to do in the bootloader then to go back to normal, you flash the abl image from the android 14 rom.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] amine tenes:

Hi I have flashed init_boot.img and now I bootloop to fastboot everytime.

I have downloaded fastboot enhanced and flashed patched to both boot a and boot b but no difference.

Also If i flash stock then it does not change.

Strange thing is that the phone in fastboot mode reboots after 1 or 2 minutes.

I installed 502 for global.

Anyone got an way to solve this.

I can open up teamviewer if needed PM me
[OnePlus 12] khalisz:
Have you flashed the right init_boot.img for global/EU rom ?

Tried to flash it again and on both slot.

There was an IMAGES folder present and then run the unbrick tool 2 times, 1 cause the phone was constantly rebooting into fastboot , after the first flash it stayed on.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tritoncarl:
I bought a brand new sealed phone from someone selling it on Facebook, it look all legit he even showed me the receipt he said he doesn't want it as it's a gift I checked all the seals and everything. It even worked fine for first few days then i got locked one day by Samsung saying it's reported lost or stolen. Tried to contact the person but his number is not active anymore, spoke to Samsung and found out the receipt is fake and it's not fully paid and they can't do much about it. I am now stuck with an expensive brick it won't even let me unlock the phone. Tried to save few hundred dollars but ended taking a big loss.

So any advice if there is any workaround to bypass this or any way to root and use a custom firmware or any other method which can give me access to the phone would be appreciated thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Gareee:
Nope. The imei number is in the stolen phone database, and the phone hardware is locked down period. Without a proper reciept, samsung will not unlock the phone.

File a police report and they should help you track down the seller.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
As above. Report it to the Police. The seller has basically committed fraud by obtaining funds by deception.

Owner probably bought it on finance direct from Samsung and cancelled the payments. Samsung then locked it as its not paid for.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I'm sure I've read of others having their phones incorrectly reported as lost /stolen? I can't find the post's though but I'm sure it rings a bell.

How did you receive the phone? delivery /pickup? Best thing would be to contact the police and try to find the seller. There must be some trail even if it's digital it might get you a result.

I do believe that blocked phones can be used in some other countries. You would have to sell it to someone abroad though, that could be an option. You'd have to read into it though and confirm it would work. I don't know the legalities of that option.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
Brand new phone in an unopened box on Farcebook Marketplace. Alarm bells should have been ringing in your head bro. Your money is gone, never to be seen again.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tritoncarl:
Hi thanks for the suggestions, I would want to report to the police but had a car stolen years back and they didn't do much so don't think they will do anything this time, I will still report it though.

Also i did hand to hand transaction, actually met the guy and gave him cash which had always worked great for me previously.

I am still upset about it as I really liked the phone. Guess there's nothing much I can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
It will have an activation lock on it, meaning it can't be set up for use out of the box, in any country.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tritoncarl:
So it turns on with a lost or stolen message on lock screen and won't let me unlock the phone and when I try to do that it asks for a pin. Never seen this before so not sure what kind of lock it is, i did check my imie status it says clean so not sure what this is
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Misterxtc:
It sounds like when I pin locked my physical sim card. I ended up replacing the card with a regular non pin protected one to get rid of the asking for a pin.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] DJLAXL:
Its called a KG Lock. If it was reported lost or stolen it is useless, but there have been cases where Samsung gives people instant trade in value where you can get the phone for $450-$500. If that trade in isnt received and the credit card used cant be charged, Samsung will lock it. This instance can be bypassed.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tritoncarl:
I didn't understand what is the non pin sim card, so I have taken the sim out and switch off Wi-Fi it still gives me the same message
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tritoncarl:
What is a KG lock, also I just noticed that I can see network bars even there is no sim
