Install driver first
do we need a flashing tool to unlock bootloader ?
Hi ,
I am new to this unlocking boot loader. Do we need some flash tool or something to do as mentioned in the link ?

Kindly help .
Thanks to awesome developers
Blue LED
1) The blue LED is on only for a few seconds and then it starts to charge the battery. Any ideas?
2) When I try to update the drivers it gives me the Android ADB Interface failure. Added the picture of it to the attachment.
(I did root the phone before without unlocking the bootloader, does it matter?)
Thanks

I finally fixed the problem. The reason why the blue light was on for only a few seconds is that your PC doesn't have the right drivers. To fix that you should install fastboot, it has the needed drivers, but to install them you have to put your PC into some sort ''test mode'', I lost the links where I found the right commands for this, anyways, after that it will work like a charm.
why does my computer can't detect the driver it just appearing that ANDROID ADB INTERFACE is updated i can't update my phone why?
Xperia V no 3G/4G data connection
Hi. I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia V. The procedure was successful, but since then, I lost 3G/4G data connection. I tried restarting, removing battery, but nothing. I can only be connected through WiFi.
Any ideas of fixing it? Thank you.

No. I'm completely newbie. What is that and how can it be done?
Will this work on other xperia phones?? like xperia t?
edit: in the device manager, my phone is listed as "Android Device". And I can only select "update driver" on something named "ROMaster ADB Interface".
hi, noob question here.
Do you need to download the SDK which has a very large size of about 800MB to unlock the bootloader?
Im trying to install cm11

No, just download ADB (along with the ADB drivers for your device).

Hi guys, I am having an issue i cant seem to resolve on my razr i. apologies if this has already been covered in another thread (or 10, which is usually the way with these things because nobody reads the other threads) I have been through a load of other threads but cannot seem to resolve my issue so i started my own.
Right, I have switched from iphone to razr and am not stupid when it comes to jailbreaking etc so thought rooting the razr wouldnt be a problem. when trying to root it it failed and i am stuck at the fastboot menu, however, everything on the menu is disabled so i cant use it. i get the usual message:
fastboot reason: flash failure
fastboot max download size: 100mb
usb connected
if i try to use anything on the menu i get the following message:
fastboot menu disabled.
my phone is not unlocked and not rooted. i have barely done anything to it other than install a couple of free apps. i am unable to progress past this screen. the phone is GB and is on 4.0.4
any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. again, apologies if this has already been covered, none of the solutions i found were able to resolve my issue. as i said, i had no problems jailbreaking my old iphone, i am a bit of a n00b when it comes to droids...

Had the same problem, I used the recommendation in this thread, 5th post and it worked, but afterwards need to re-download apps from PlayStore:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36612151
Follow the instructions exactly - you need the drivers and RSD lite on Windows PC, then connect the phone via usb cable that came with it; and you'll need a full unzip program (cost) so you can move the unzipped files into RSD lite. Get the right flash file though - there's a list in the linked post if you don't want GB retail which I used. Important: this only works for ICS 4.0.4 and don't try to downgrade to an earlier version than what's currently on your phone e.g. v.39 to v.31, for example.
Good luck.
AW: [Q] razr i problems - fastboot menu
If the solution from mervluk does not work (It didn't work for me either) , you should try if you are able to use the fast boot commands .
To do that simply connect your phone to the PC. Then download fast boot , if you do not already have that. It is in the .zip from the RAZR I root thread.
The go to the downloaded folder. There hold shift and perform a right mouse click. Then choose" start a command prompt here "or something similar (don't know how the option is called in English).
Then type in
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboots you might be able to unlock your phone and flash the software.
BUT BE AWARE! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WARRANTY!!
So you better try the other solution first. This should be your last option.
If you don't know how to unlock the bootloader look in the RAZR I forum or pn me .

Glad about that. This phone can be a bit of a so-and-so. ics is being updated ota to Jelly Bean 4.1.2, which I've avoided so far to keep fm (although not activated on the supplied software). I did succeed with unlocking the bootloader (loose warranty - important) following the whole complicated procedure on Moto's website - but couldn't myself use the shortcuts on here. (Then had to set up again and re-download everything from the PlayStore). It required the Moto-supplied key. I then rooted, though I think the JB ota download unroots again? You can't use RSD lite with JB.
With JB the procedures are different, and a modified JB European (not for use with GB) firmware is now available on another thread which is impressing some posters. But I think just be a bit cautious as there does not appear to be any fix for the "service code corrupt" bootloader error yet. Looks like the options are very restricted whilst no-one understand the interaction between Google Android and the intel atom chipset.
I have a network unlock key from one of the commercial suppliers (cellunlocker.net), but haven't needed to try and use it yet!
My phone has no network and it says no sim card. After further investigation it appears that this is because the IMEI number has just gone, it doesnt exist on the phone. It is standard I have never changed software so have no idea how this could happen. Tried factory reset but nothing works. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your guidance...I have tried both option but it get stuck in middle somewhere and not able to flash the kdz file.
So at this moment LG Mobile support tools not able to cross 10% in firmware update process and stops due to some error.
With KDZ update tools, same situation....and device can connect to adb terminal no other recovery mode options.
So using adb terminal is there any chances to do some fix ?
I think I have currupted my boot loader during installation of third party recovery software without doing boot loader unlock option.
Please guide or suggest any other try.....

It was happened like......the phone was working ok with latest official updates V20A and suddenly lost the IMEI number so Mobile network also. After some try finally I have done factory reset..but it was not working as expected...some time it has shown IMEI but lost also...tried many time factory reset but not worked...so tried with LG Mobile repair under upgrade and recovery option but it was failing at 10 % everytime. So thought lets intall new ROM so decided to install cyanogonmod so for preparation rooted phone and installed CWM recovery ....as doing all this first time so may be forgot to unlock the bootloader so after installation of CWM recovery phone has not booted and also not going to recovery menu. After that under upgrade mode tried to burn KDZ file using LG mobile support tool but that also not working.
So now the situation is, the can only go in to firmware update mode and some time getting connected to adb terminal.
So now is there any change of BL repair through adb terminal or the only option remain is visit LG support....?
Please guide....

Did you downloaded the files??
Install Drivers and follow the steps properly,
this should work for you to keep connected,
One more thing run drivers and flashtool as administrator, I already PM you.
Still having problems, please let me know.
If your phone is still not booting, I am afraid that you bricked it.
Good Luck

Alright I have no idea how I did it, but I just put my phone in flashmode and kept disconnecting the USB and reconnecting it and messed with Flashtool.. Somehow I ended up unlocking it... I'm so angry but happy right now. I wish I could provide a solution.. But I can't... I think my bootloader was just corrupt or had an error..
Anyway, now I'm running the Pac-Man Nightly 4.4 KitKat ROM . Yaaay.
I was considering learning Java and just tinkering with this.. But.. This has been so frustrating... Taken days.. Gah..
Hi,
I've just semi killed my XT1965-2.
I've unlocked Bootloader with
Code:
fastboot oem unlock [unlock_code]
and flashed Magisk with
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
and worked fine. But, some months later, I've decided to remove Magisk and at the same time downgrade Android from 10 to 9.
Following the commands listed in this site, after it booted into Google Wizard, I thought it worked and then I rebooted to fastboot again and relocked the Bootloader with
Code:
fastboot oem lock
, after that I realized that the command for flashing the wi-fi module was missing.
So what happened was that I have a phone that boots up but won't find any wi-fi network or mobile data to connect and it won't bypass as I have my Google Account activate no the device.
In searchs I've found this and, as I cannot flash any partition as I have my Bootloader locked, I've thought I could boot via
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
and try to bypass the Google Wizard via adb, but no success.
The question is: is there another way a could use to access the OS to allow unlock bootloader again?
Via command that I'm missing or even adding the missing bluetooth modulo to the boot.img and making it available to the device and I can access the internet and log in the my account.
I hope I'm being clear enough.
Thanks in advance!

Just out of curiosity, why in the world would you relock your bootloader. That serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, and as you have found out, can cause a myriad of issues. There is nothing to be gained by relocking the bootloader. PERIOD!

Well, so your phone boots and everything, you only need to flash a newer build, go to https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/lake/, and find the newest build for your variant and flash it manually, after that you can boot your phone and unlock the bootloader again to do the downgrade correctly

If you dont know how to flash it manually, just tell me your variant and ill do a script to flash all the files

Okay, I didn't take it to the next step and offer him a solution. You are correct it was very inconsiderate. But at the same time, what I said is true. It appeared that it was when he tried relocking his boot loader that he ran into a problem. And there is no reason to relock the bootloader.

This was his way of knowing that, you and i, we have been here for a long time, i learned this years ago, now he knows it
Hi everyone, first of all I want to ask for your apologies for taking so long to answer.

Unfortunately I had to find out in the worse way. But I really didn't need to keep the bootloader unlocked as some banking apps just won't work this way and I needed to root for a unique propurse that was to access a sqlite database file.

My device is Motorola Moto G7 Plus, XT1965-2.
I really, really appreciate your help.
I put myself at disposal for further information.
Thanks a lot.
PS: I've found some tools called Android Image Kitchen that could unpack and repack the boot image then I can boot it with
Code:
fastboot boot unsigned_new.img
but I don't know how to add the BTFM.bin to the extracted folders, and then repack, in a way that the device may recognize them.

I see. If I only had a way to connect to the internet and log in with my google account I think the problem would be solved.
But I cannot find a way to do so.
I already tried to put BTFM.bin in every folder and repacking using AIK, it boots up, but the system won't recognize the module.
I also tried using an ethernet and a wifi OTG without success as it should be enable in Developer Options.
Thanks anyway!

well if you want to connect to internet from PC to your android by USB you just have to use this tool and enable the OEM Unlock option
https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet
I had a similar problem downloading the version of my Revvlry+ = Moto G7 Plus XT1965-T and then OEM was disabled and internet and baseband modem stopped working because I downgraded too low and with this tool I managed to recover.
but everywhere in the web I am looking for the way to restore the status of my device because in Bootloader Mode it says: flashing_locked. instead of telling me: oem_locked
and you can't remove the warning that appears every time I turn it on

Hi, darkherman,
thank you for you reply.
Unfortunately it won't work as according to documentation: "Make sure you enabled adb debugging on your device(s)."
I have to boot the system to enable it in Developer Options.
Thanks anyway!
Is there a way to bypass the Google Wizard and boot the system without logging in?
About the warning on startup I've read somewhere that's not possible because of some var value obtained from:
Code:
fastboot getvar allCODE]
Don't remember exactly what var, but its value may be 0, 1 or 2 that means locked, unlocked and relocked (not necessarily in this order)
-- runnig the above command I saw some variables such as securestate, verity-state and iswarrantyvoid than may mean something.
But, as far as I know, we have no command such as "set-iswarrantyvoid false" or "set-verity-state 1" or something like that.
Maybe this could be done by replacing/updating the firmware if possible, but I think it doesn't worth the risk of making the device irreversibly bricked.
Thanks again for your reply.
It seem there's no way to rescue it.
Gonna just give up and throw it away.
Thanks for those who tried to help!

Hi,
I've just semi killed my XT1965-2.....
This would be my last resort:
Might have to open it up and short the test points to get qloader edl mode to be recogized because I believe a blank flash.zip method will bypass from your sd card will reflash your device with an unlocked bootloader so you have fastboot access to flash firmware... I could do this but its not the best advice if you never have took apart a phone or know about test point shorting to emergancy mode.... Or If it is an unlocked no carrier phone buy you another just like it somewhere with an easy return policy and buy extra coverage for damage....Break the screen or whatever so it wont power up the return it and demand your money back... You would be out the price of the extended warranty...

Hi, thank you for your reply!
I really never have took apart a phone nor know about test point shorting so this is not an option for me. I could even try to do it but probably won't be able to mount it back.
It's a no carrier phone, but in my country, there's no so easy return policy that I know of, unfortunately.
The bypass won't work because the second pass, "Connect your Motorola Moto G7 Plus to your Wi-Fi", as I think this is the biggest problem, I cannot connect to Wi-Fi. I also tried the method suggested by @darkherman throught gnirehtet with no success.

I had a rog phone 2 with this Version 16.0631.1910.35 WW
Since the update was released, I am tried to update
So, I cannot made it I rooted my phone in somehow, I lost with the steps
So, the phone was started again without update, but it’s always starts on bootloader screen
So, I formatted my phone few days ago and the phone was stacked in booting menu
Every time same thing even when I connected it on the pc only detect the device but no storage or anything
So how can I use my phone again without any of these problem
How can really make as factory condition again without root or bootloader screen
With full performance
Thanks for support
Appreciate your concerns

If you can get your computer to recognise the device in fastboot mode using adb command to check its recognised you could maybe flash the 1910.35 raw firmware for it using the flashall_AFT.cmd within the firmware folder. I'm at work now but will provide more info later and possibly links to adb and firmware

Had a thought, saves me a lot of time re-writing it... Use the link to my thread that uses 1910.35 raw firmware with working links and steps.
As you already had WW 1910.35 version on the phone before, the fingerprint may have already been changed by you or the previous owner. Basically, ignore step 0. You can't boot into the android system to install the app which unlocks bootloader anyway.
Follow each instruction exactly in order of steps 3, 5 (ignoring the fastboot cmd to flash boot img), 1 then 2.
You'll be doing things in that order because you want to install adb fastboot first. In summary... After installing adb fastboot to the root of C drive on your pc, navigate to that adb folder in C drive, double click the cmd-here.exe. A cmd window will open. Then put the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to pc using the side port of the phone. Type and run the cmd 'fastboot devices' on that cmd window. If successful in recognising your phone it will show a serial number/device id. Then do steps 1 and 2
