[Q] XT1050 Bootloader unlock

Hi
I'm thinking of buying an XT1050. But I haven't been able to find out whether the bootloader unlock is supported for that version of moto x. Can anyone confirm whether it's possible?

I still haven't gotten it though. So I can't check myself

You are not Vzw, Att or RW? So see the previous posts in the thread. You may be unlockable w/o the China ul.

Go general see China.

I realize that this thread is pretty old, but I just wanted to confirm I was able to use the Moto Unlock tool to unlock the bootloader on my Alltel XT1050. I am currently on the latest ACG update (161.44.31.ghost_row.ACG.en.US.) Follow the steps given by Moto here and you should get the unlock code.
Also, here is a simpler tool to use for ADB and fastboot (rather than downloading the entire Android SDK as Moto suggests.) When you want to use ADB/fastboot, open the command prompt and type
Code:
cd C:\adb
From there you can use the fastboot commands as per Moto Unlock instructions. Note that the $ sign is not necessary.
Hope this helps!

Remote unlock is not allowed Asus Zenfone go z00vd

Hi
I was trying to unlock my Asus Zenfone go z00vd/zc500tg
I have successfully installed the driver for the device and
fastboot devices
Command working fine it shows the device number I think.
But when I try following command
fastboot oem unlock
It shows the error
Remote: unlock is not allowed
I have enabled the developer mode , but there is no oem unlock option,
I want to root my device.
Please suggest me something for unlocking..

Contact the oem to see if it can even be un locked first. Not all Android devices have unlockable boooaders.

Contact Asus and see if the device has a bootloader that can be unlocked.

It has , because I have watched the videos on YouTube that peoples are 7nlocking Zenfone go , and my brother also have Zenfone 5, he also did it with his phone.

any solution?
Help needed i have the same problem

You do not have to contact ASUS. To unlock the bootloader, you must downgrade your firmware to version 36 where the unlocking option is available. Just follow this tutorial. You are probably using v62 now.

Is unlocking bootloader via Linux possible?

I currently only have linux on my laptop. I downloaded th Mi Unlock Tool, but it's for Windows only.
Can I unlock the bootlaoder of Redmi 4/4X using linux? like
fastboot oem unlock <token>

no, not yet.

That's what took me so long to unlock mine. I finally just installed the unlock tool on my son's laptop to unlock. Even on their own forums there are constant requests for a Linux unlock tool but Xiaomi doesn't seem to care.

Is there a way to flash a rom with linux? Yes, the bootloader is unlocked but I don’t have a windows system at the moment.
Thanks!

Once the phone is unlocked you can use ADB in Linux.

Hi,
Here is a great way to do it. Maybe it will help - works on Linux

Hahaha, I know - but your post is one of the first that comes up on google search, so I thought i'll give people a little heads up.

Pixel 5 Android 12 Developer Preview 3 OTA Sideload failed at 94% and now it says "Can't find valid operating system. The device will not start."

I tried to install Android 12 Developer Preview 3 on my Pixel 5 via OTA Sideload but it failed at 94% with the message 'adb: failed to read command: No error' on cmd and 'Install from ADB completed with status 0' on phone.
After this when I try to boot, I get the following message: 'Can't find valid operating system. The device will not start.' (attached image)
I'm able to access the bootloader but when I tried going into recovery mode through the bootloader, it shows the same message: 'Can't find valid operating system. The device will not start.'
Seems like the recovery is corrupted as well.
Unfortunately I had not enabled OEM unlocking in the developer options before trying to install the Developer Preview, which is now not letting me unlock the bootloader.
Please help me fix the issue or help me find a way to unlock the bootloader without enabling OEM unlock.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same thing happen to me just now. Have you managed to figure anything out?

Nothing from my side, since bootloader is locked I can't flash the system image and I can't unlock bootloader because my OEM unlock is turned off in developer settings and the Recovery and Rescue mode are also corrupted.
I contacted Google support and their only solution was to bring it in for service as my device is still under warranty.

I'm in the same boat here with a Pixel 4a 5G. Got to 94%.
First time I've experienced an issue while sideloading. . .
Contacted google support and they are shipping me a refurbed replacement... disappointed, to say the least.

Not sure what to make of this, it's developer preview and now beta. Issues will possibly occur and it warns you of such.

**Possible Fix**
I would believe this might be due to the boot_a & boot_b when trying other custom ROMs or OTA updates.
I used the fastboot/ADB files from the lineageOS ROM page and used the command: fastboot flashing unlock
to unlock the bootloader again, this then allowed me to go back into the rescue mode and use googles online image reinstall and got me back onto the stock ROM. Hope this helps some people

As an additional this let me get my phone back to loading the custom ROM I was on, to then reenable debugging mode, I then rebooted back into fastboot mode and used Googles online factory restore mode to flash stock ROM back on and I was back up and running

As I had mentioned earlier: I had NOT enabled OEM unlocking in the developer options before trying to install the Developer Preview.
So this method does not work for me. It will be helpful if I can find a way to force unlock the bootloader somehow.
Thank you for your reply. Hope your method helps someone else resolve their issue.

This might not work but have you tried plugging the phone into the computer using the pixel online factory recovery and tried the first step of the process which is a prompt to unlock the boatloader?

I'm going to state what should be obvious here - you should not attempt to use pre-release firmware with a locked bootloader, because you will ne severely limited on what you can do to recover if something goes wrong.
Unlocking the bootloader is not possible if OEM Unlocking is not enabled.

What exactly are you referring to? The Android Flash Tool requires an unlocked bootloader to start with, and does not unlock the bootloader itself.

Are you not aware of the Google online tool for their Pixel phones? https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection
This has additional flashing options within the 'online' version of fastboot/adb, and found that when trying locally downloaded adb/fastboot it didnt work. But when using the online version it allowed me to unlock the phones boatloader.

I am aware. However, this tool does not function like adb and is not meant for flashing factory images like the Android Flash Tool is. The Pixel Repair Tool works specifically from Rescue Mode.

How to unlock bootloader on Oneplus Nord N100

Hello everybody
I need to know if there is a method to unlock the bootloader for an Oneplus Nord N100 but the BE2015 model (Metro PCS by T-Mobile) because I have not found out how to do it in this Forums
My smartphone is running Android 11 by an update (version 11.0.9.BE82CF).
My goal is to unlock the bootloader in order to install TWRP for a future custon ROM
Thanks to everybody and excuse my English.
Happy 2023

If I understand correctly you have to have the phone for 180(?) days and then "OEM unlock" will be available in developer settings. Then you have to request en unlock token from T-Mobile. (I don't have an american phone, I'm not 100% on the method)
You can get an unstable TWRP for this phone, but it will have very limited functionality. And custom ROMs is basically a forgotten dream on this phone.
Basically what you can do is sideload Magisk through TWRP (you have to use adb sideload command) and some people have installed GSI ROMs.

Really I bought the phone already unlocked, it has the "OEM unlock" function in the "Developer options". Because I didn't buy the phone directly from T-Mobile it's impossible to request the unlock token, so better I continue using it normally until I can buy another phone (I didn't comment but I live in Cuba...)
Thanks anyway for your answer...

I think you might be able to load a European/Global ROM through MSM tools. Then you can use OEM unlock command without token. Rummage through the N100 forums here and you can find guides.

I already searched and the ROMs are for BE2011/BE2013 models and mine is BE2015. My fear is to brick the phone in the process because it has a modified ROM especially for T-Mobile, thanks anyway

If all you want to do is unlock the bootloader I think you can just do this.
** WARNING: YOUR DATA WILL BE WIPED **
1. enable developer options -> oem unlock
2. start adb
3. adb reboot fastboot
4 fastboot oem unlock
if step 4 fails then try
5. fastboot reboot fastboot
6. fastboot oem unlock
The phone will show a screen to confirm unlocking. YOUR DATA WILL BE WIPED.
7. fastboot reboot
The phone should reboot. Unfortunately It will display an annoying message warning the bootloader is unlocked for quite a while before it boots into system from now on.
BTW: I had problems with twrp 3.5 for Nord N100 floating around these forums. Latest is twrp 3.7 which I'm still suspicious of. All of my flashing using TWRP on the N100 has resulted in bricking.
My successful flashes have been with fastboot.
I use TWRP on another phone and it works like a dream.

Hi,
In step 3, do
adb reboot bootloader
This will reboot in the ancient fastboot, not fastbootd. This is in this mode that you can unlock the bootloader.
