[Q] Nexus 6 LOCKED - TWRP installed, and running??

I attempted to flash and unroot my Nexus 6 via Wugfresh's tool, and thought it was a success. I hit 'relock' and now the device is bootloader locked with no OS installed.
However, I can connect via fastboot so far, but I am not very good with it. I think I may also be able to push files, but when I attempted to flash SlimLP the device just reset.
TWRP is still present on the device, but I cannot unlock my bootloader without getting a ROM on there... So I am stuck...
I need to mail this phone back in tomorrow for cracked screen, so I am hoping someone can help me. Thank you.

First check here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481
Get the sdk tools and once set up, see if you can do adb devices and have the phone show up on the PC, if so, do adb push (name of rom file) then boot to twrp and install. If that doesn't work, check the same page above (since you don't have an OS not sure what would happen) try the unlock instructions for fastboot ( I would wait for someone else to comment before trying this). You might want to message this user http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2872010 rootSU and see if he can give guidance, he has lots of experience.

Locked Bootloader
I still can't seem to get past the fact that my bootloader is locked...
Thanks though.

Try this: Reboot to bootloader, select recovery mode, enter TWRP, mount MTP and push/sideload and flash a flashable image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...tboot-t3066052.

Flashing
Hey, thanks for the tip.
The link you sent was dead, and can you help me understand the commands for flashing in ADB with a locked bootloader?

Sorry my bad, here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052.
Follow the instructions as i posted, place the download rom in the /android-sdk/platform-tools/ folder and boot in bootloader and select recovery, select adb sideload there and type in cmd: adb sideload name.zip.

Unlocked Bootloader
The thread says they are for unlocked bootloader only.
I have TWRP installed, but for some reason at one point my bootloader was relocked.
So now I have No OS to 'enable oem unlock' to unlock my bootloader.
This is my issue.

It worked for other users, but hey if you have a better option try that.

I don't understand, what do you mean it worked for other users? The thread specifically states the bootloader has to be unlocked, and unfortunately I do not have an unlocked bootloader.
So I cannot fix this issue unless I either get a rom to flash with a locked bootloader, or somehow force unlock the bootloader

Look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...bootloader-t3116744/post60931367#post60931367, he had the same problem as you (locked bootloader). I`m not a jehova witness trying to convince you to swap sides, i`am trying to help you here.

Thanks
I see, I was able to adb push /sdcard/. a factory image to get back in with a locked bootloader, thank you.

Purchased Used P20 Pro with unlocked bootloader

Hi all,
I've purchased a used P20 Pro from a friend which has an unlocked bootloader and has been previously rooted. I normally keep my phones stock so I want to lock relock the bootloader (I have the code) but despite trying to follow various guides I have been unsuccessful.
Would anyone be able to guide me through the process of relocking the bootloader please?
The main reason I like to keep stock is manufacture updates etc and I don't have the knowledge to maintain a rooted phone.

I don't believe that an unlocked bootloader will prevent you from getting updates. As far as I know the only difference is the warning you get when you boot that "you can't trust the phone."
IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Don't know if there is another way but of you have fastboot and adb you can do it:
1. Make sure developer options are enabled
2. Connect your phone to the computer using USB cable.
3. Open a command window and type 'adb boot bootloader'
4. Once the device has booted into the bootloader mode type 'fastboot oem lock'
This WILL ERASE all your user data and you will have to configure everything from scratch. You will need the unlock code if you ever want to unlock it again so make sure you don't loose it.

Ok so I just upgraded to android 11 and want to unlock the bootloader but while doing it through the app it says failed to unlock the device why is that?
Also I have never unlocked my device before it's the first time I'm trying to do so..

Do a backup of your data you don't wanna loose and flash raw file with A10 available here in ROG3 section. Then your unlock tool will work. After you unlock you can update and restore data. Bootloader remains open until you lock it again with abd or app.

(HELP) Pixel 5 bootloop after reversion to stock from beta

Hey Everyone,
I'm looking for help. I tried reverting my pixel 5 to stock from beta and am stuck at the boot screen with " your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and may not work properly."
I've spent days fiddling with it, and cannot get anywhere with the google repair website because it's saying my bootloader is locked. I don't understand how I purchased it unlocked. Anyway, I cannot get into the settings to unlock the bootloader. It's been a long time since I've been a tinkerer but I do have all the software downloaded to do so. I cannot get my PC to recognize the phone in the command prompt window to try and sideload a software install.
Has this happened to anyone and is there a solution out there somewhere?

Buying it "unlocked" means you bought it free of a carrier, such as Verizon, who lock the bootloader, and can't be unlocked.
But you still need to unlock the bootloader, it comes locked, for security reasons. So if you never unlocked it, it's locked.
I haven't installed beta 12 yet.
Do you have the latest SDK tools? (adb, fastboot, etc)
I was under the impression though, that you can't downgrade with a locked bootloader. But not sure.

This probably isn't of any help now, but going forward, it may be. In Developer options, you can enable 'OEM unlocking'. As you can see now, it may well be a very good idea to enable that **before** you start messing with the phone, because if something does go wrong (as it has for you), then you can (hopefully) still get to fastboot and do 'fastboot flashing unlock'.
So, knowing this, you may want to keep an eye out for some tool or something that will allow you to possibly turn on oem unlocking (because your device won't boot).
Another thing to try is switching slots and see if the other slot boots? If you can get to fastboot try; fastboot --set-active=(a or b), then fastboot reboot. (If you don't know which slot is active, do 'fastboot getvar all', in the output it will tell you which is current.
cheers

Your bootloader being locked should not affect your ability to restore factory images/OTAs from Google. They are signed by Google and will pass the signature checks. You should try to download the latest factory image (either 11 or 12beta) and flash it via recovery => adb sideload.

Question SM-G998U on AT&T Unlocked, can I get Android 12 beta now?

Hello I have a Galaxy 21 Ultra for AT&T, previously locked. I just unlocked it and was wondering if I'm able to flash Android 12. I tried sideloading, errors out with status 1. I'm afraid to use Odin. Is this even possible?
Thanks!

If you're in the US and you want to receive updates then you have to sign up for the beta and your device has to either be a SM-G998U1(factory unlocked) or a T-Mobile SM-G998U. Just run the beta like majority of us in here and sideload it with adb
