CN 10.26.1.18
unknown error occurred , which may be a network error please try later
This annoying sh1t occurs when I try to unlock the device with the official unlock tool for 4.2.
Actually what I want is just to root it, but currently it's no way out but unlock it to flash in the root.
How am I supposed to deal with it? I can't bear using an unrooted device.
Thanks for any help. Though I know most of your solutions won't work.:crying:

Don't you need to update to 4.3 first? Careful. I'm pretty sure you have to get updated to 4.3 first then unlock. Make sure Google 2 step verification is disabled secondly. I do not know if a 4.2 unlock tool exists for 4.3.

Sorry I didn't see you were on 4.3 already.
Does this is a Nexus device? Then you can try Wugfresh Nexus toolkit.
Nexus 7 (2013) with stock AOSP ROM(4.4.2), FRANCO Kernel (r12)

I just recollect that I had the same issue. A network error like no internet connection. I just kept trying until it worked. I assumed it was the router.

Did you try "fastboot unlock" to unlock the boot loader instead. The Collection thread says you can do that. Try the one included with the SDK for whatever platform your on.

You can only unlock using the asus unlock tool - the bootloader is encrypted and other methods won't work. Just keep trying it - it will eventually unlock. Some people said they had to try it hundreds of times before it eventually let them do it. No idea why.

Thank you anyway though I don't think continuous trying unlocking would be a feasible solution since I try billions of times and alter many network accesses. So annoying is it. The stock ROM is slow, odexed, laggy, and with piles of useless apps.
Argh...
hi guys,
my op3t is bricked. now all i can access is fast boot mode. no recovery.
the problem is the bootloader is locked, so i can't install new recovery partition.
i've tried the quallcom msm tool to no avail. is there anything else i can do?
thanks
Unlock Bootloader via Fastboot, flash TWRP, and then sideload a ROM via ADB.
Perhaps No,
Your device needs to be sent to oneplus service center. they will replace your motherboard.

Why? He can unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP via Fastboot, and sideload a ROM. He doesn't need a motherboard replacement.

There are a number of things that can be tried, before getting to your suggestion (which should be considered a "last resort").

Again, it is probably helpful to provide specifics on how far you got with the unbrick tool, what the specific results, error, or outputs were. I haven't personally had to use the unbrick tool, so I can't personally help much on this particular point. But others here may (almost certainly) be able to advise, if you provide more specific details, besides just saying "it didn't work".
You can also try the stock OOS update zip (which can be done with a locked bootloader): http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_5.0.1/
Flash the stock recovery (available on the same link) if needed.

i can't, it won't let me unlock the bootloader. and it also won't let me flash any recovery.
when i choose recovery from the fastboot the phone just rebooted to the one plus logo and keep bootlooping (is that a word?) infinitely.
oh, i dont know if this will help. but the phone will only bootloop if it's connected to the charger. if not it wont even turn on.
sometime it will show low battery warning, and/or low temp warning. and no, i don't live in cold climate. i live in the tropics.

yeah, there's no service center in my country. into the shelf of shame then.
He already stated that the recovery is not flashing because you cannot flash anything if the bootloader is locked. If by any mean boot loader is unlocked, then one is good to go.
You should know that bootloader can be unlocked only if the system OS allowed to do so. But in this case system os is crashed as well as recovery.

I asked him to clarify what that meant, since all he said was "no recovery". Which is much too vague, and can mean a lot of different things.

i can't flash anything. even stock recovery. i'm assuming it's because my bootloader is locked, or is there other way to flash stock recovery?

What? Lol. You can unlock Bootloader even if OS is missing. You just need to type "Fastboot oem unlock" and it's unlocked. The "Allow OEM unlocking" in developer settings doesn't really do anything.
He can unlock Bootloader without any problem, and flash a ROM.
Just to clear things out, what exactly did you do before the device ended in this state?
The usual fault people seems to be doing from what I read in most of these "brick" threads is that they flash non factory recovery (TWRP or the likes) and then lock the bootloader. This resets the OEM unlock and triggers DM-Verity and also ends you with a non-working recovery as the locked bootloader doesn't allow you to boot recovery not signed by Oneplus (all other recoverys than Oneplus original).
In that case you simply shutdown your phone, hold volume up and connect the USB cable which skips fastboot and starts phone in Qualcomm restore com-port mode and from there the Qualcomm factory tool/unbrick tool should restore a phone to working state coming from the mentioned lock-out.

oh so u never actually flashed anything? if that is the case more than likely its hardware issues, the mobo will need to be replaced, u may want to contact OnePlus, I read somewhere else that someone had a similar issue, if the msm tool does not work then its going to be hardware issues. Are u still under warranty?

Need help badly:
I Lost OEM unlock option when I installed a custom rom. I have waited for 7 days and the option wouldnt appear in the settings. I believe if I reboot this, Id be stuck in binary blah blah and Id be back in stock rom again and be jailed for 7 days.
Im currently rooted. Ive read an article about DrKetan OEM patch. Can I be able to install that without using TWRP? Like the app Flashify or Flashfire?
Any insights please?
Thanks
I wish to restore my TWRP backup but I cant get to TWRP as I believe id be stuck in " only official binary blah blah"
I first unlocked the boot loader but didn't worked than I was unable to find the one unlock option again in developer mode even after reflashing the firmware.
In the Odin mode it is written oem lock off
Can somebody guide me how to show that option again

Some roms hide the OEM unlock option to avoid accidentally switching it and then locking you out ie only official binaries. Search in the thread of the rom you are using to see if that is the case.

Flash stock firmware with latest Odin in download mode. That should get you back up and running. OEM toggle switch should re-appear within 7 days (unless the date change trick works for you). The OEM unlock thread has more background, and there is a sticky thread here for the date workaround.
I have flashed all again and its working. Weird for me is about thso OEM issue - ive never had one xd even after flash srock firmware i could switch oem unlock. Curious what's depends from

Usually that error happens when you are not on stock (rooted with twrp, etc.) and hit the OEM toggle...it sees you have modified your phone in an unauthorized way and puts you in 'jail'.
I toggled it by myself i didnt know that it should be always on...
OEM issue - what is the problem. I have heard that the problem os thatbon some phones therenis no such options .... curious why

Snapdragon bootloaders are locked so OEM unlock toggle isn't really relevant there. For Exynos there is a long thread here with lots of info. Essentially it can take 7 days to appear if you don't see it at first boot or if you end up in jail.
My Bootloader was unlocked at first with Beta Verizon of Android 10 installed, so sure it would be L3 with bootloader unlocked.
But, then I found a way on XDA to lock the bootloader back by downgrading to Android 9 Pie, from link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/help/how-to-lock-bootloader-t4031603
So, this successfully relocked my bootloader and then I upgraded back to Android 10 stable version. Then after upgrading back to Android 10, I did hard reset once. But still when I download the DRM Info App, it still says WideVine L3, with bootloader locked and latest Android 10 Version of the ZenUI installed
Plus here I found one user (dip7g) stating that he did lock bootloader back and got L1 back, but never stated how. Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/help/relocking-bootloader-netflix-hd-t3982629
If any one can help me with getting L1 back, it would be great as I would be giving away this cell phone to my little brother, who likes to stream Prime and Netflix a lot.
I have also attached the Screenshots of the bootloader, DRM Info and About Phone.
Thanks a lot, in advance.

Hi! Did you relock the bootloader before booting into the rom? I am no expert and this is my first dual slot and relocked android, but I started off with by installing Oreo
(Name of file was WW_ZS620KL_80.30.96.111_MR2_20180921002943_release-user.raw.zip)
despite the instructions saying to use pie. After installing, I booted into fastboot again and relocked the bootloader before having android start (I can't remember if I had to use a fastboot command to switch slots or not). I then started android and drm info said I had Widevine L1, and after manually updating with the fota links, l am still sporting widevine L1. If you update using the the links like I did, 100.04.44.98 to 100.10.107.36 was leading to a 404 and I went through the post and used a full install zip posted sometime February this year. Hope this somehow helps and good luck!

Thanks I'll try the same. And let's see what happens.
Just to confirm, as I am in latest version of Android 10. I'll try downgrade to oreo, unlock the bootloader and before I boot into Oreo I'll relock it. And see what shows up in DRM info.
Sounds right?

Well, I am not sure if it's tied to your bootloader or not. I saw some people talking about some of the earlier releases of android 10 causing the google play certifications being messed up. Here is a link for someone mentioning this issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...ota-update-links-update-20-08-t3831794/page80
I'm not sure if you would just need to wipe your data or unlock and relock again. All I can say is I came from Resurrection Remix, used those files, and it worked. I wish I knew more but I am not a developer

Yeah, I'm having a hard time thinking why it would be different for you. Maybe your bootloader didn't get locked right. Hope redoing the steps does something different this time.

I'm the unlucky one I guess l, still the same.
And yes one thing I noticed I was unable to change slot/partition after installing latest Asus USB drivers and latest ADB as well. Everything else worked in fast boot except "--set-active=" command
It was showing up as "unknown operation"

Maybe there are multiple ways of doing this, but I think I did mine by using "fastboot set_active A" Maybe you should update your platform tools if they dont work. I think someone posted an updated version with support for dual slot phones in the twrp install thread. I am a bit crunched for time rn as I just got up and have stuff due tonight.
Thank you bro. I tried everything latest platform tools, driver update, unlocking relocking. but still it is stuck in L3
Still error while trying to change slot/partition
Bootloader is locked, latest Android 10 fota. Still no luck.
So I finally decided to give up trying.
But I highly appreciate your support. Thanks man.
