I am an idiot, I flashed a T-Mobile image to my XT1710-03 [Sprint] variant and it soft bricked it. With the Modem settings lost and the OEM Unlocking switch reset to disabled. I had no way of getting the device internet to let it free up the OEM unlock function. What I tried:
Blank-flash - Nope
Stock flashing - NOPE
USB OTG Single port Network adapter - YEP!
The device saw the adapter, loaded it as a network device (nothing apparent but I could surf the web) and BAM! OEM unlocking was free to enable.
Now I am not smart I mean I bricked the Z2 in the first place but if you were like me and had a phone without a modem and just needed a little bit of internet to get the job done this post is for you.

I came back to stock ROM. the problem is that it gets stuck in the initial configurations of the android trying to find a wifi network, to continue the configuration, without success, because I see in fastboot that the baseband is unknown, and I also can not install any rom, or recovery image because I have the following message in fastboot: FLASHING_LOCKED. and since I can not get past the initial android settings, I also can not unlock the developer options to enable OEM unlocking. now I'm standing in a rom that does not leave the initial configuration, it does not connect to any network and a fastboot that does not let me install anything. and I also tried the recovery mode and even tried to install an update via sideload, without success.
will it be that if I try this I can go ahead with the initial settings? because the phone is searching for network and can not connect, with the adapter will the device recognize the connection?
Your adapter is wifi?

Hello,
I bought a used Motox 2014 with a broken screen on ebay and I was going to buy a new screen ...
My problem is that the screen will come to me in a month and in the meantime I want to use my phone, but I can not because I do not see anything...
Then I saw that there are programs like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
I tried this program but to work requires USB DEBUGGING active and I've got them off.
The autor of program says: "for people who dont have adb enabled, i suggest you contact a kernel developer to automatically enable it in the default.prop and sideload the kernel in recovery!
i broke my S3 on stock so nothing was enabled.
i enabled adb via the default.prop and compiled the kernel and flashed in recovery(sideload).
now i have full control over the device"
Now ... where I find a modded kernel with usb debugging enabled, and how do I flash it in recovery if not see anything ?
Someone has a modded kernel ? I can flash it from adb shell fastboot or Motorola RDS lite ?
My version is lollipop 5.0 or 5.1 and doing a screenshot (with power and vol down) I can only see the screen but no touch screen or keyboard can not do anything, and then I would connect to the PC with the program for remote viewing..

please help me thanks. (sorry for bad english i'm italian)
any suggestion ?..
USB OTG + Mouse...
No, this is too easy but don't work form me...i need to view my phone from PC , and for to do this i need to install a custom kernel...how i can flash it ?
So recently I did a stupid and accidentally switched off my OPO during an update installation and completely screwed it all up. I tried switching it back on only to find that it was stuck in a recovery mode loop. I then hit factory reset in a last ditch attempt to save the poor bugger without flashing it and even that didn't work.
I've then had to resort to flashing it using the OPO toolkit software on my PC however when connecting to the PC, my OPO only shows up as an MTP USB Device and nothing else. I have tried installing recommended Samsung drivers for the phone but I wasn't able to as it the "update drivers" button was greyed out on the MTP USB Device properties window.

Basically, the OPO toolkit will not work as no android devices are recognised by the PC even though an android device is showing up in the control panel.
There is no way I can currently access the settings on my phone due to recovery mode loop obviously.
The last thing I want to do here is end up with being forced to use the OnePlus support which I hope most of you understand why.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi,
This thread is being moved to your own dedicated forum , where the experts may be able to help you better.
Good luck!
Put it in downloading mode and then use adb to use the toolkit since bow u don't have a os on the OPO happened with me too but I fixed it this way

How can I bypass the Abnormal reset lock screen? I got this phone from my uncle because he is waiting for the Note 7. I have tried using Odin to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 4.4 to use accessibility but it failed every time. I also tried to use an otg cable with a usb flash drive to access settings but it didn't show up. Thank you in advance!
phone info:
T-mobile Note 4 SM-N90T
Android 6.0.1
No sim card

Go to about phone...then tap build number 7 times or until you see a message that says "develope options enabled" ....then back out to setting and go to developer options and make sure the reactivation lock is turned off....but you can't downgrade to 4.4.4 either way...only 5.1.1 DOK2 firmware...they locked the downgrade with DOK2

As soon as I enter fast boot mode the phone disconnects from my computer or something. I can't get it to work with the Flash Tool or without it. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm at a loss and don't know what to do.
I get this error as attached.
Have you got usb debugging on ? And bootloader unlocked

Yes, I have bootloader unlocked and debugging turned on.
Open your Windows Device Manager while connected in fastboot mode (Right click Windows logo -> Device Manager).
Do you see your phone in the list with an exclamation or question mark?

Try with a USB-A to C cable. Do not use the supplied C to C cable.
There is something wrong with Calyxos.
Unlocked bootloader becomes LOCKED when you try to use flash.android.com on the first reboot.
How did I get it ON the phone if it was locked? well, it wasn't and now Calyx won't unlock the boot loader (even though it says it is)
Calyx website is not working.
I don't have windows, This is F'd
Anyone able to help me get this garbage off my phone?
Hi guys,
My pixel 5 died recently while playing a video. It will not turn on, nor make any sound. There is no haptic feedback as well when I start the device. The only time it is detected is when I boot it up in fastboot mode (Press and hold Power and Vol Down). It is detected as Pixel 5 on windows pc. It is detected under fastboot devices but I can't seem to do anything else with it. I am unable to get an adb connection. I don't remember if usb debugging was turned on or not on my device before it died, it most likely was enabled but can't get it connected via adb.
Note: The phone is bootloader locked
My question is can I recover my data from the phone through fastboot only without a working display?
Thanks.
Perhaps you could try booting into twrp and see if you can access the data that way?
Thanks. I did try that but I can't really boot into recovery as the device is bootloader locked.

Oh no. I hope someone can prove me wrong but I believe your only option now is to send it in for a repair.

This. Without bootloader unlock, your chances of dumping partitions are zero.
@nabeeltariq Are you able to access stock recovery? You may be able to sideload an OTA package to get working again.
