While searching for a way to unlock the bootloader i found a way
Hello. Instructions for unlocking the bootloader.
-------------- Responsibility for your bricks I do not take over. Everyone does at their own peril and risk .--------------
Downloa ( Google)
1) Install the driver for the phone (in the header);
2) Install a special driver, find it in the Unlock_BootLoader \ Driver for Winwos \ DriverSetup.exe folder;
3) It is necessary to unwind the phone, remove the cover;
4) It is necessary to disconnect the battery;
5) It is necessary to close the contacts (Photo);
6) Connect the phone to the PC;
7) Open the program Unlock_BootLoader.exe, there is a menu at the top, the item: "Operations> Settings> You need to select the Unlock_BootLoader.xml file"
8) After selecting the Unlock_BootLoader.xml file, click "Operations" again and click Start. Or press the green play button.
9) Done. Now you have TWRP_Mod installed in the Recovery section.
Additionally
The method works both with a locked bootloader and an unlocked bootloader. The only difference is that how to use this program at the moment when the bootloader is unlocked, then you do not need to disassemble the phone and put it into TEST POINT mode.
If the bootloader loader, then the program flashes TWRP_Mod.img to the Recovery section. After flashing, the phone will automatically reboot and the bootloader will remain locked. But TWRP_Mod.img will work. If you need a full unlocking of the bootloader, then you need to prepare several other files. There was no time for that. I made the method only for flashing custom recovery.
In the video, my bootloader is unlocked. I had a chance to block the bootloader and delete all data, so I made a video with the unlocked bootloader.
With a locked bootloader, exactly the same thing, the only difference is that you will need to switch the phone to TEST POINT modeYoutube video
All thanks Goes for SergeySan27 for his work...
this made for 4pda and i am just sharing his work
This is 100% not working. Pls dont waste your effort
Wow
Specific what version of Pie do you have on Honor Play?
can u also tell if we have a method by which we can unlock our bootloader. If its possible using this technique then we can have development for our device. More people will be available to use the roms.
Excuse me, sir. Where is the TEST POINT?

Test Point or EDL Mode requires physically opening the phone

I know lot of people already know but for everyone else's clarification Test Point or EDL Mode requires physically opening the phone and shorting 2 electric points together something like the following video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8salW6m-z8
I do not know exactly where those 2 point are on honor play.
But one good thing is opening honor play is comparatively easy as it does not require heating the screen with some heatgun. There are 2 special screws and then the screen is clasped.

Hello,
I have tried this method on my Huawei P20 EML-L29.

the IDT started to flash the image and I got the successful PASS green message in the end.
The bootloader is temporary unlocked in testpoint mode
however, even if I have kept the VOL UP button pressed and removed the usb cable to reboot directly in the recovery mode (to prevent the overwrite with the default eRecovery) it still brings me to the default eRecovery menu.
I have even tried to flash TWRP manually in fastboot (using the tespoint mode to temporary unlock the bootloader) and I got the img file sent and written.
However, it still brings me to the default eRecovery.
Do I do something wrong or miss something? becase flashing of any image is successful but I can't get anything changed on the phone (just getting OKAY or success messages on the pc)
For everyone here trying by opening up the phone, make sure you DON'T touch any other 2 points or your motherboard will short-circuit and become unusable.

Did you try going to recovery through command line?
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
(or reboot-recovery)

Why would people have to take this tedious route to unlock their Huawei or Honor smartphones? Huawei as a company should listen and release bootloader to those who wish to unlock their system. They can put in place an agreement to be accepted by those who want to unlock their phones and expected no warranty after doing so. This is very simple to do.
Can someone confirm test point connectors on the play please?
Doesn't look too difficult imho.

Did you try this then and didn't work??
Does/can this work with Honor View 10?
I tried it with EML-L29C432, program showed me OK, but I still have stock recovery... Any idea?

I am CATGEEK, a typical 24-year-old techie-fashionista girl from the Philippines and was a P7 user till yesterday (sold it already). I have been busy lately job hunting why I wasn't able to make this post. I know this is a bit late but I am pretty sure this'll help a lot. How I was able to get a solution was because I too experienced this and I couldn't really trust the service center since I've read some posts somewhere that also had the same problem-- it couldn't be repaired. So my habit whenever I brick my phone is not sleep until I find a fix. I was in the brink of being hopeless and tried to lend money from friends to buy a new phone and just sell the P7 at a lower price since it's declared defective. But I've come to a thread here that I will be sharing with you (it is inside my zip file) and my software repair skills when it comes to android phones that will help you out with this quite complicated issue. It's actually easy but of course you need to go through the process first before concluding that I am right (still to some people, this'll really gonna take their brains out ha ha! like how I did before). So let's get started!
Pre-reqs:
1.Enable USB Debugging but how?
Go to Settings>About phone>Tap "Build number" 5 times then go back to Settings>Developer options>Enable USB Debugging
2.Booting to fastboot but how?
Hold volume down and power button simultaneously until you see a white screen with android logo and "Fastboot & Rescue Mode" here you will also see whether your phone's bootloader is locked or unlocked, so since your prob here is it is locked, we will unlock it, okay?
3.INTACT BRAINS, SO IT WON'T GET OUT WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A HARD TIME
4.BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, HAVE CONFIDENCE!
Note:
Everything is in my zip file. Just click this mediafire link, install necessary files, read manuals and start working on it!

my huawei is G615-u10 how can i solve fastboot and rescue mode
Would this still require getting the unlock code through Huawei?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I cant get to the system, recovery, the force update method wont work and the bootloader is locked. What can I do? I sent a message to huawei asking for the code, but it takes probably weeks to get it(if I should get it). I cant get it on the offical page, I keep getting an error saying 'The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.'. Please help!
I followed the steps to fastboot reboot. Now my phone is stuck at the HUAWEI boot logo? Any ideas? I used an official bootloader unlock code from HUAWEI. I know this is an older post, but I'm hoping someone will see this, and be able to help.
HELP!!
My Ascend P7 L07 is bricked! While trying to boot system and recovery i got 3 green leds and 2 red leds and "Boot error" screen appears and fastboot is unnable to flash stock recovery/system/boot img files (Error Command not Allowed), anyone can help me?
I am also having this same problem....I can't get to recovery and I am stuck at FASTBOOT AND RESCUE mode......and USB debugging was disabled ....I can't turn on USB debugging cause my phone can't boot up.......I got this problem while flashing a TWRP recovery ........I ALSO TRIED FORCE UPDATING ANDROID (by downloading stock ROM to SD card and then pressing : vol up+vol down+ power)
Guys......I found the solution..... All u have to do is to download stock ROM of ur huawei device and force update it.....
Step 1: download stock ROM for ur device
Step2: move the ROM to ur SD card in a folder....and rename the folder as " dload"
Step 3: remove battery and press vol up + vol down+ power ......and after 10 sec release the both vol buttons ( DON'T RELEASE POWER BUTTON) afters some time , ur phone should boot into force update
I can confirm that this method worked on my Huawei Y550-L01 that was stuck in Fastboot&Rescue mode.
Thank you!

So the other day I confirmed for an OTA update for my Z1. Little did I know, 3 seconds and an auto shut down later, I would end up with my Z1 being stuck in a bootloop with no access to recovery mode.
I really need help on getting my Z1's internal memory (photos, notes, contacts) extracted. I tried a few of the local repair shops and they said that the data inside is corrupted.
I've try ADB but it says "permission denied" whenever I try getting in the storage>sdcard. Probably due to me putting a swipe pattern lock screen on it.
So if there's any hope at all, I'm willing to even disassemble it if that could even help.
I've not rooted it but I do believe the bootloader is unlocked.
- I should also mention I'm a real amateur at this stuff so please be very patient and specific with the instructions. Thanks!
Try using this guide: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-instal...z3-z2-devices-via-xperifirm-flashtool-1492498
it's for updating your os with flash tool just use an ftf file for z1. And in the final stage of the update untick the 3 wipe options and this should save your data.

i'm not totally sure this will work, depends on how much your memory is ruined. If it was just an installation of your os error this should reinstall an updated os without erasing data. first try other methods for saving your data and if you won't find any, try this one
btw, in the picture i posted i didnt untick those 3 wipe options, don't forget to untick them else you'll wipe your memory!!!

I tried with all 3 available firmware (SG) but still not able to boot up the phone normally, nor was I able to access the memory through adb. Any other thoughts on that?

1. try flash ftf again, unstick applog and data, stick on cache ( wipe cache). try several times maybe it will bootup.
2. you sure your bootloader is unlocked ?
use flashtool to check your bootloader status, if it really unlocked just flash a custom kernel have build in recovery to save your data.
if it is locked bootloader, you can unlock via flashtool, it wont wipe you data like fastboot unlock, and flash kernel but you will lose your sony function forever if you dont have any TA backup before. you should consider to choose your data or sony function.
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
Dude, Are you sure that your bootloader is unlocked?
1st confirm that and accordingly there are ways by which you can recover your data.
Guys here have already recommended methods by which you can get your data back. I suggest read through general an Q&A forums. Read thread for soft bricking. Do not panic and carefully follow the instructions. You should get your data back.
similar case has happened with me few times and I was sucessfully able to get my data back.. so dont worry..

Hi everyone!
I've got similar problem to that. My device shows: "Your device can’t be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader”. I tried to fix that with OST, but no succes - critical unlock is neccesary. I've flashed with OST 6.04, 6.12, NOST 0.6, but nothing works. Also the ADB and QFIL can't see the device, so I can not critical unlock bootloader. In the device manager, phone is seen as ADB Interference -> fastboot Device, and after installing google driver as Android ADB Interference. Recovery and fastboot modes don't work, download mode works only after connecting with OST. I tried holding 3 keys, but phone turns off after about 20s and nothing happen - I can't enter recovery. I bought this device recently and some time later after turning on it showed that statement. The varranty has expired, so I can't send it to service.
I hope you can help me.

Any Way to remove that?
And also I hear from people they somehow relock their bootloader again.
Didn't understand this step for now or what the use of this was? Maybe someone explain please, so it is clear for everyone.
But when I try this > Start Phone in Recovery > Hold Volume Up to Device Lock Option > Lock the Bootloader & Factory Reset >
it just brings me here and after that it does nothing!

Thanks your post was very useful!
After I flashed stock firmware again - do I still have TWRP then?
Scenario 1. Your phone is rooted with Magisk.
Go into Developers options and check OEM options, the switch must be ON (to the right). If it isn't turn it ON.
Turn off your phone. Press and hold the Bixby and Volume-down button, then connect with USB to your computer. (The cable shouldn't be connected until after you press the buttons).
Within seconds of USB connection the Download screen will appear. You will see 3 optiions, choose and Long press volume up and hold button until you see the 2 options at bottom of screen. Choose and hold volume up until screen goes off. Then the S10 logo screen will briefly apppear, before it flicks back to the Download screen with the words 'VBMETA: Error verifying vbmeta image etc' at the top, as the image below.
This is all good so far. Leave the phone exactly as it is with this screen showing and make sure the phone is still connected to the computer.
On your computer, fire up Odin3_v3.13.1, you can leave the Reboot option in Odin ticked. Locate your firmware on your computer and put the 4 file parts (BL, AP. CP and CSC) into Odin.
Let Odin finish.
The phone will reboot ready for setup.
The Unlocked bootloader warning screen will be gone.

But why should we relock the bootloader in the first place?
Only so we don't have the bootscreen-warning anymore?
Or does it have some other purpose as well?
And I see what I was stuck at, I didn't flashed the stock firmware, but tried to flash the patched stock rom again.
Because the bootloader was locked, It stuck at the flashing process everytime. So thats basically why this thread was created to bring some clarity about this.

re-lock Samsung S20 OEM after flashing
For those who may still be interested in knowing the EASY way of doing this:
This is what i did for the S20 (snapdragon)
After flashing stock firmware, the bootloader (OEM) stays unlocked, meaning that things like GooglePay and some bank apps wont work. The way to fix this is by re-locking the oem after you have flashed your new stock rom. Here are the steps to do that (since it took me a while to figure out and there is hardly any info online) - bear in mind this works if you have NOT tripped Knox and its using a stock rom and do these steps at your own risk - always have a backup just in case:
How to re-lock bootloader (for S20):
1. Turn off your device.
2. Press Volume down + volume up and insert usb cable to your phone to start the download mode
3. Read the text below on the Download Mode screen
to block or unblock the Bootloader.
4.- Long press the vol (+) button to enter unlock mode.
LOCK BOOTLOADER SCREEN:
5. Read the 2 options available, one will say to lock the lock the bootloader, the other to lock. Press the relevant volume button (was down on mine) until the phone restarts (this will erase your data and restart automatically).
6. Go into developer mode and then uncheck the unlocked oem option, restart your phone.
That's it! Now you have a device with an OEM locked, so everything will work as expected, again, as long as its a stock rom and you have NOT tripped Knox by root etc.
Hello,
Can you tell me how did you escape the downloading window (after you tried to re-lock the bootloader). Mine seems to have stuck and I tried to long press Vol Down and Power button, but the phone reboots and comes to this screen again.
I also tried to flash a few rom, but everytime it was blocked by OEM lock. I am not sure what was the CSC of the phone (as I bought it from someone who is now not in my contact). Is there any way I can find the stock rom with limited information?
My phone is Samsung SM-G977B (5G). I just know that it is a european version.
Any ideas?

Hi.
Bought this phone 4 months ago and it went into a boot loop, where it would only show the battery empty icon. Yesterday, I tried turning it on again and noticed, that it's stuck at the Redmi - Powered by Android" screen. From this screen, I can enter fastboot. See this video:

I've read that there are a couple of options for reflashing this device:
- aks someone with the authorized Xiaomi account to reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)
- put the device somehow into ETL mode and reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)
I've tried contacting someone, who for #1, but they aren't willing to help, for some reason (I'm wiling to pay). For #2, I'd have to open up the device, which I'd like to avoid doing.
Would anybody know of any other options for fixing this?
Thank you in advance!
okay, which version of MIUI are you running?
first get the fastboot rom of the version your phone supports , i recommend the global version fastboot rom , because it works and its stable and u get your updates
download this fastboot rom first
Temporary file download page
miuirom.org
and I will give you the MI flash tool working version at like 6 hours after, Ill post the remaining steps after you download this , btw, you will get a .tgz file , when u download the Rom, thats the one you need

If you can boot into fastboot, then it is already enough.
Now, I suppose your bootloader is still locked
You need to download a MIUI ROM from "EEA", from any trusted website, and remember to download the "Fastboot" ROM to flash it (my favorite is mifirm.net, it downloads faster)
Install MiFlashPro - attached at the end of the thread
Open it up, and you will be greeted with this.
Click on the "Mi Flash" tab, as it is the only one we need.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
You will be greeted with this window now:
After you have done downloading your ROM, extract it to any place.
If MiFlash does not recognise the directory you have extracted in, move it to C:\. Not any external drive, your main one
Now click on the "select" button box, go to your ROM directory, and simply select its folder
Boot your device into fastboot (PWR + VOL-), click on "refresh" button box and your device serial number should appear on the first line.
Now simply click "flash" and let it do its job for 10 to 15 minutes. It will reboot automatically.
If you dont succeed, please read this thread:
Thread '[GUIDE] UNBRICK YOUR HARD-BRICKED MTK' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-unbrick-your-hard-bricked-mtk.4564029/
You will require BROM and to bypass and to flash via SP Tool.

You have either got confused, or being scammed
Newer MTK devices do not require the opening of the device. I suppose you have been probably confused with a Qualcomm Snapdragon based service, that does require the opening, so you can access EDL mode and flash your phone into life, or someone just put up the Redmi Note 10 5G and is a scam, also, on MTK, you do not need to pay for a authorized Mi account. On MTK, it is easily bypassable due to BROM
Thank you both.
I put ran MiFlashPro, pointed it towards the downloaded eea stock rom file and attempted to flash it, but got this error message:
So I presume this is due to locked bootloader? I'll try to follow the second link.
I actually managed to enter recovery mode and do a factory reset. Currently setting it up and plan on updating it.

Good to hear you got sorted. I basically bricked my phone last week (only 3 weeks old ) after trying to switch from MIUI 13 Global to EEA. I managed to get it into BROM mode and used MTK Auth Bypass which allowed me to use Chimera Tools to flash the phone again as nothing else seems to work with a locked bootloader. Currently running MIUI 14 with root and magisk optimisations (blur/high end tweaks, MIUI monet etc) and loving it! Just need a way to bypass Play Integrity API for Google Wallet
