Hello,
i just tried to enable OTG on my Honor 5c.
I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP. etc.
Now i reset my phone and relocked my booloader. i see every boot a warning, and i can't use my online banking TAN because my phone is apparently rooted.
i just want to do a hard reset. But how? I can't install the b102 firmware from modaco. i get an error every time. what can i do?
please help me
What firmware number you have?
my bank just warns about being rooted but doesnt prevent using app i think you can hide root from apps... try searching root hiding from apps!

Hello. I have really bad situation about my friend's phone. I was about to install Cyanogenmod on it (i have experience about it, i installed CM on my Nexus 5 without any problems). First i tried to unlock bootloader. I tried different ways including the official one but none of them helped. When i turn the phone on and call to 3845#*880#, it says that bootloader is unlocked. But i still can't flash recovery to TWRP (it says that bootloader is locked). Then my friend asked me to get root at least, because when we tried to unlock bootloader we used a chinese program which installed ad malware into firmware and he can't delete this. I read about installing root without unlocking bootloader, using stock recovery. But when i try to load into recovery mode, smartphone is loading into Android. I guess i've deleted stock recovery accidently. Is there any way to root/flash CM/completely reset (btw this one doesn't work correctly, because that ad malware is still there)? Help me, please. Thanks in advance.
Hi all. So I recently bricked my device while trying to update to oreo.
What I did was rebrand my device from PRA-LA1 to PRA-AL00X(P8 Lite 2017 to Honor 8 Lite) which was required for updating to Oreo. After that, I typed in the command from TWRP to install the update.zip, but nothing happened so I rebooted my device. It boots up as Honor and my eRecovery and fastboot still works, but my bootloader locked when I rebranded.
As I'm typing this, I managed to connect to WiFi and its downloading the firmware, but what I was wondering is will it be possible again to unlock bootloader again? Because my IMEI number obviously changed since rebranding and I didn't save the unlock code so I was wondering if I manage to unbrick this device if it'll be possible to unlock bootloader again with the new IMEI. Any help will be appreciated.
Used to root etc on old phones, taken a long break from it all but I have sent a request to Huawei to get my unlock key for my P10 VTR-L09C440, however I have a few questions I hope can be answered.
1. Can I re-lock my bootloader after unlocking, and if so does it say anything like "bootloader relocked" or anything like that or is it completely back as it was?
2. Can I use restricted apps (I know I couldn't use Barclays and I think one of my betting apps and Google Pay were restricted), has this changed now or can Magisk etc actually hide BL unlock / root / whatever it is it doesn't like?
I would like to know that too

1. No, when you manually relock, the bootloader status is "RELOCKED". To lock the bootloader you need to use HWOTA8, FunkyHuawei or FirmwareFinder and update to the newest version. Both will cause factory reset.
2. When you rooted with Magisk most apps with Root detection will work, when you enable "Magisk Hide". I use it on my bank secure tan app and Mario Run without any problems. Some friend are using Magisk Hide with other banking apps without any problems, too.
I haven't rooted and unlocked myself but I read about an important part of the process.
First of all you have to enable oem security in developer options, otherwise you risk the FRP lock.

If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

OK great, thanks for the info. I have actually finally just heard back from Huawei so code should be imminent. Unfortunately my battery as stock seems to be awful so I need to try something to make it last a day at least.
Does Magisk hide make Android Pay work too?
I think I'm right in thinking that banking apps and the like often check bootloader status rather than just root. I assume Magisk doesn't hide this?
If I go back to stock and relock bootloader, will the apps also still register that the bootloader has been unlocked and still not work?
TIA

Can someone confirm this please? Does anybody use Android Pay and Barclays confirm Magisk makes it still work with Bootloader unlocked?
Hi everyone
I have a Xperia 10, i1331 version. It has the bootloader unlocked and was rooted successfully (many thanks for the info in this forum)
Then, I gave root permissions to some apps, aa mirror and carstream for android auto, for instance, they work perfectly. But Google Pay does not work, even hiding root...., Because the Bootloader is unlocked, so I need to lock it again.
But I need to find a way to lock the bootloader again without reseting the Xperia 10... and keeping my Root permissions I did., Does it exist any option to do this????
As you know, with some Rooted devices, if you lock the bootloader again they do not loose the root permissions you gave to some apps, Don't you?? but with XPERIA phones (bq and xiaomi seem to be the same) once you lock the phone they automatically reset everything and erase all Root..... , a disaster.
PLEASE, do you know any possible solution???? Thousand of thanks.
Sadly, it's not possible to lock or unlock the bootloader without a factory reset.
No solution unfortunately
I'm trying to find a way to lock the bootloader, regardless of the condition of root, but unable to do so. Have been trying for hours.
You can't!!
Hi all, i don't follow modding world from a while so i don't know what happened more or less into the last 3 years, so now that i need to root the device i wanted to do some questions.
I bought a realme 8 pro at the dayone and now i have the last update installed (so realme UI 4.0). I wanted to do the root but i don't know how much realme support it, if the bootloader is locked or not, ecc. ecc.
I saw in this phone thread that there is a method (the guide is written in May, 14 so it seems very recent) about unlocking bootloader (so i guess is locked?) using deeptest, i tried to read but i didn't really understand what kind of thing is that. So i wanted to ask, what is deeptest? if it is locked, if i successfuly unlock this bootloader what happens to AIO updates? (I guess there will be no updates such as other devices?). If the AIO updates stop to work, Is there a way to manually download and install updates? Can i root this device using magisk for example? I have seen there is something, but there are these things i can't understand.
Thanks in advance for replies and sorry for my bad english.
Hi, yup, the bootloader is locked.
Deeptesting is an app by realme used to request an unlock code. You can try this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-bootloader-help.4425415/post-86777721
Try submitting your application, if it tells you "Your model doesn't support deeptesting" you'll have to follow my guide.
Either way, after a bit of waiting, inside Deeptesting → query approve result → start Deeptesting.
Doing this allows your phone to boot into fastboot. Where you can unlock your phone using
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data.
Hi, thanks for the reply! So there is a method to unlock the bootloader. But if i do it, i can't update anymore my device via OTA, right? How could i do that thing. In addiction, is not possible to obtain root permission without bootloader unlock? Because i need root to save whatsapp messages 'cause the application is stupid and can't do a backup by itself.
In addiction... I downloaded deeptesting and my phone does not support it. Yeah
You can get OTAs if, and only if, you didn't modify the firmware. Unlocking itself doesn't break OTAs, but rooting/custom kernels/vbmetas etc. will.
You can't get root without unlocking. As per Whatsapp, I think you can use ADB to back up data without root.
Thanks again. As i know ADB is disabled for whatsapp from a while. Ok then, thanks anyway for all informations. I guess after the bootloader unlock i can install magisk to obtain root acces.
