Yeah, like a title, i have 2 questions,
I want to root my phone (to calibration color of my phone, since a last version from android 6, huawei edited color too shine).
Could i relock bootloader after roll back to STOCK ROM? And how?
- second question: How could i calibration screen color?
My phone: GR5 Mini - NMO L31C636B351 (Android 7.0) - asia ver.
Hope someone help me, thank you very much!
p.s: forgive me, my english so bad...
Yes you can relock the bootloader. With you phone connected to your laptop , using fastboot, type the command: fastboot lock bootloader(or relock). You could also simply flash the original stock firmware/boot image but I think you might lose all your data.
As for the hue of the screen, I can only think of going in settings---> colour temperature---> and adjust to your liking.

YEAH...what the proper prepaired????
this my answer..
1) look on my signature (easiest guide unlocking bootloader)
2) flash custom kernel and flash rom (no need back to 2.1 or stock)
3) Yes Unlocking with stock rom
4) It depend on U (for me i wanna the rom with the nice and beauty colour one)
I use "TIM3 v1" + "nAa v8b" ( I mean where u wanna go with fast speed?)
5) YES
6) Use flash tool and download stock kernel (search it on XDA)
7) NO -u can unlock by easiest guide (on my signature there)
8) U can't DIY...(if your phone still under warranty send to them)
for me i got 4 times hardbricked and they repair for me without fee
BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS 11W28 BELOW
(see on phone..PULL OUT YOUR BATTERY AND YOU CAN FIND THERE
hope this help
1.The easiest way to unlock bootloader is with s1 tool. Just connect your phone with usb debugging on and open s1tool and unlock bootloader.( It might brick your phone, I dont recommend you to unlock bootloader)
2.Unlocking bootloader does not change your rom, If you are on 2.1 then it will not affect it. Switching between roms is very easy, just use recovery.For kernel use flashtool
3.You dont need to be on stock rom to unlock bootloader, it can be done through custom roms also
4.From my opinion alfs v6+gingierdx is great. It is very fast for daily use but not very good for hd games.
5.Dont know
6.You can always return back to stock kernel using flashtool and stock kernel ftf
7.Your bootloader will not be lock if you go back to stock rom
8.You cant unbrick your phone if it is bricked during unlocking bootloader, you have to send it to sony ericsson for repair
Thanks very much guys, but I am scared if I brick my device as I can't unbrick it then
I told u...check the MFC date (pull out your battery)
see the **W** (date of manufactoring)
If '11W28' = 2011 week 28
bellow 11W28 is safe..
Above 11W29 is risky..
but nobody force u to unlocking it..
but (also) some nice and beauty rom need custom rom
it totally can't run on stock rom...that why i got my 4th bricked yesterday..
and got a new X8 today with 11W23....
release my tension because can't unlocking bootloader

NO.. not for a hardbrick....
check out some newest threads here which hard brick because of bootloader unlock.. almost all of them not solved and go to SE center..
Ya unlocking bootloader is a bit risky!
Be Careful if your planning to unlock it.
Thanks guys for your help, I really apreciate it. For me the date is not a problem. However is there a possibility of getting bricked during unlocking the bootloader? Well atleaset has anyone bricked their device by unlocking the bootloader and fix it without sending the phone?

U mean if we go back to stock 2.1 with unlocked bootloader, we get bricked?
1) What is the best and easiest way of unlocking the bootloader? From 2nd reply.
2) After unlocking my bootloader, how do I switch ROMs, Is it like normal or do I need to go back to 2.1 first AND GO BACK TO STOCK KERNEL?
You don't need to go back to stock. The unlock won't do a thing with the rom.
3) Do I need to be on stock ROM to unlock my boorloader?
I could only unlock my bootloader from stock 2.1 (tried under GingerDX), but from stock it was easy.
4) What is the best kernel and ROM combination for you? - PLEASE ANSWER THE POLL ABOVE.
For me it's FroyoPro 2.3 ans Alfs
5) Can I Sim Unlock my phone later after unlocking the bootloader?
Can't say... mine was simfree out of the box. (If your phone is not simfree be aware! not all can be unlocked and could cause hard brick)
6) How do I return back to stock kernel?
Just flash back stock kernel file.
7) If I go back to stock ROM will my bootloader be locked again?
No, the bootloader cannot be locked again.
8) If my phone gets accidentally bricked during bootloader unlock process, can I unbrick it?[/B]
At home it is really unlikeley. There are special cables that can do the trick, but they need an expertised technician and a lot of money (for the cable)
Hope it helped for you
My phone is a 11W23 white one with cypress and is unlocked. For You what is the best? What You want? Speed, stability, low battery drainage, cool 3D games etc... For me it was little battery use and high speed with a tad of cool UI.. for this FroyoPro 2.3 and Alfs (Alfs is not needed for froyo pro! so no need to unlock only for that)
Ok thanks guys for answering all my questions about unlocking bootloader. All my doubts are clear
Hi, i just receive this phone from my sister. I don't know what she have done.
I can enter bootloader/recovery.
I pretty used to flash phone, but after reading this [GUIDE] ✮ Unlock + Root + Backup + Restore + Downgrade [UPDATED], damn this is a serious problem if i done something wrong.
So please, anyone can guide me to the correct way reviving this phone?
some info you might need:
moto g2 (2014) - i see same cpu model in bootloader > gsmarena.
bootloader ver. 41.18
Dual SIM
bootloader is unlocked
Other than that, i'm not sure.
I don't need any fancy latest version or full feature custom rom.
I just want to make this phone working again with the fastest, easiest, and efficient way.
Thanks
Hello friends
if i want to flash recovery or relock the device it tells me "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)".
Till the nougat update it wasn't a problem, it worked like described in every guide.
I think my drivers are ok, no errors in device manager and on Marshmallow everything worked fine.
The big problem is my home banking app detects the unlocked bootloader and stops working
so i need to either lock my device or root it.
Here are some data may they will help
At fastboot

Hi MHN.1515,
and thanks for your participation.
this is exactly what i did.
I went back to the stock image "Honor 5C stock ROM images (latest: B102) NEM-L51" from PaulOBrien on MoDaCo. (Thank you for providing the image at this place)
Then i flashed NEM-L51C432B130 from here. (Thanks to Druger too) In this process the bootloader got locked again.
From there i updated to Nougat again, the good things are my phone is locked so i can use my homebanking app
and in developer options i can turn the Unlocking bootloader switch to on or off as is want to root it again one day.
So i hope i described the process well so it can help people with the same problem.
Greetings
Max
Btw. next time i need a better backup strategy, or at least a backup strategy

My frustration level is super high with this brand new Mi Mix I bought from a US reseller that came unlocked with the official latest global rom version. Before I decide to return it, can anyone please tell me a simple way to relock the bootloader so I can download Netflix and use this device like normal? I can't even get the Mi PC suite to recognize its connected. Very annoying!
do you try mi flash? there are options clean install dirty and clean relock install
No, do I need too flash the rom again with the tool to relock or is there an option to just lock the bootloader only? Will I still get Global Rom updates after relocking? Am I able to unlock in the future since it's already been unlocked once by the reseller? Thanks for your earlier response! I'm just not that good with all the modification stuff.
No You cant relock without clean install anda yes You will recieve otas
And for The re unlock You have to need a code if your seller unlock it then You have to get xiaomi unlock permission again once You recieve The code with your acc You can lock relock unlock anytime You want

Thanks! So can I just do a clean reinstall directly from the phone and will it automatically lock for me? I apologize - I'm not really technical with this stuff. I'm on the latest Global Rom that's on the official site. I don't want to change my rom or root in any manner. I just want keep it the way it is and simply lock the bootloader. I have read some other guides about flashing and downloading a whole bunch of drivers and changing settings on my PC to get it to work. Isn't there any easier way of doing this? I want it to work like if I just bought it at a store and allow me to set it up like have with my S8+.
Then install mı flash and fasboot rom of your choise global stable or global beta then close The phone and open pressing w power button and wolume down button at The same time once You ses The tinker bunny (fasboot mode pic) connect your phone with a cable and install with mı flash of your choise of rom and ext its very easy en.miui.com download section You can fallow The steps there its tooooo easy You can spor
And no You can not lock your bootloader anyother way
Thanks! I got it reflashed and locked! When I searched the Play Store, Netflix showed up right away! Appreciate the help... It was super easy!

Hi Egentreri,
I am surprised to read by your reply; I thought the bootloader could be relocked using a fastboot command. I have bought a Mi6 a few days ago and it came with an EU rom. I decided to flash the Global Rom using the regular update tool from the rom itself, but unfortunately TWRP was installed, something I hadn't checked... and I bricked the phone. I managed to reflash the stock recovery (in chinese) in fastboot and I the phone some how booted again and I could reflash the rom from the update tool and this seems to have flashed a new stock recovery as it is now in english?
My bootloader is still unlocked, but I guess I could use the fastboot command to relock the phone as I now have a stock recovery along with a stock Global Rom? What do you think?
Thanks,
Alex

In my non expert opinion and little experience flashing som custom roms and then going back to official (beta and stable), and back again to custom with twrp recovery and all... Sure and easiest method for going to any of the official roms and having the bootloader relocked is to flash chosen rom with fastboot update: for the Mix: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
That way, which I understand is what @gman901 did, with the same package you get back to locked bootloader, stock recovery, etc.
I got my Mix unlocked also, which I didn't mind as I quickly rooted and went to try some fantastic custom roms. But the first weeks, when going back and forth and trying this and that, at some point I wanted to go back to vanilla official global stable, and from there to global developer. To do the first step from custom rom only fastboot update worked.
Hope this helps!
Hey there community,
I've recently bought an used Asus MeMO Pad with the following data:
Model number: ME173X
Android version: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.4.5
Build number: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.4.04152_20140714 release-keys
As I want to get root access and maybe put some alternative OS on it, i wanted to unlock the bootloader. I'm using a Linux OS on my Laptop so I won't be able to rely to those windows applications for this case.
In general adb and fastboot commands work as intended via USB. With adb there are no issues at all, but the fastboot mode is where the trouble begins.
As I read in several guides for unlocking the bootloader on this device, there should be some kind of (even minimalistic) user interface where I should be abled to confirm that I want to unlock the bootloader.
On my device I only get a black screen with one white line at the bottom stating
=>FASTBOOT mode ...
fastboot devices detects the device and I can perform fastboot reboot.
As soon as I try to run any command that needs an user interaction on the devices screen (e.g. fastboot oem unlock), the shell on my Linux system is in a wait loop (guess it's waiting for devices response) and on the ASUS the screen remains totally the same.
Anyone of you any idea what could be the issue with this device? In Androids settings I've enabled USB-debugging, did I miss something?
Recovery mode is Android system recovery <3e>. I don't know if or how I could install custom backups with that one, only worked with TWRP yet.
Already thanks a lot for reading into my struggle - maybe someone of you could help me out of that.
I am following this one, since I have exactly the same problem.
I did try to unlock the bootloader on a Win11 device, but the tablet did not connect long enough to be able to unlock the bootloader.
Any help or suggestions to get a custom rom on this oldie via Linux would be much appreciated.
I believe your droidboot partrition could be damaged, it should be easily fixable with flashing ESP recovered from firmware files.
Regardless of that, im pretty sure you cant just unlock the bootloader like this, first of all you will need to upgrade to lollipop 5.0 and then flash modified bootloader, otherwise wont work, Asus does not support unlocking bootloader on this device unfortunately.
