I have an Idea that I wanted to try but I cannot, because I cannot re-lock my boot loader.
It gives me lock failed error..
So the idea is as follows if you are willing and able to try it out.
I believe with a locked bootloader you are supposed to be able to boot "official" images.
So if you "fastboot boot v6.1-boot.img" android will not exactly boot into visual interface but will give adb access. And from there will be kernel before they patched dirty cow. So maybe the unlock tool will work.
UPDATE
I did complete my test and dirty-cow did work on 8.4 when I "fastboot boot 6.1-boot.img" even though the screen stayed on the frozen boot animation the whole time.
That leaves the last part of the idea needing testing , and that is the fact that fastboot supposed to allow official images to boot. And if the copy of boot.img is accepted as official.

Thanks mrmazak, for your response. I am relatively new to fast boot and adb. I am happy to test if you can post the steps to follow. I have adb and fastboot utilities on my machine and can communicate to my R1 HD from my machine.

the test i propose is only to see if the image of 6.1 boot i have willl boot on locked bootloader.
If test works out good, then some type of update to the unlock tool will follow
1. open terminal
2. type "adb reboot bootloader"
3. type "fastboot boot v6.1_stock_boot.img"
I have made batch file that does those steps.
1. unzip files to location of your choice
2. connect usb cable to phone, make sure adb is enabled
3, click the "test_boot-6.1.bat"

I get the below error : -(
C:\Gags\Other\R1HD\R1-HD-Tool-V11\Tool-V11>fastboot boot v6.1-stock-boot.img

was afraid of that. the image I have is untouched, and original, but because it was read back from device it is missing the signature.
or because the signature is below v8.4 it is rejected.
Wonder if there is a way to apply the signature file from the 8.4 update to that older boot.img.
so for now there is still no way to roll you back to older version rom.

Is it even possible to ... make it a bare metal and install everything from scratch? Similar to how we would install OS on a PC.
The situation I am in w.r.t BLU R1 HD, is something like BIOS is locked and hence I cannot boot PC from other media , in PC world?

The system app "settings" is what is missing the OEM unlock switch. A while ago @vampirefo patched the settings app for v17. The patched app returns the toggle. That settings app still works in v8.4 to give back the toggle. Problem is , as with most of rooting methods, stock recovery will not install unsigned packages.
It's the standard "catch 22" of rooting (if I could only.......)

Same issue as OP
I have the same issue, does anyone have a solution? I am stuck on 8.4 with slow wifi, I want to revert the update

Well you tried to flash a rom through stock recovery with a locked bootloader. Not the best decision. Go look at the tutorial in general.

Flash your stock rom with RSD....about all you can do.
Not true, but I'm not gonna write up a tutorial on how to dd back to the correct bootloader or make a stock bootloader in a flashable zip, etc. Not when the solution is plug phone into PC, Open RSD, click, click, clickity, click, reboot, and done.
//Unlock your bootloader and you won't have issues like this. If you don't wanna do that, ya gotta use the old roms, all the new ones are for unlocked devices.

Having this same problem when trying ota Kit Kat update from T-Mobile. The only way I can get back into 4.2.2 is to use Minimal Fastboot and give the command 'fastboot erase cache'. Even when I do this the phone never says if the cache erasure is complete but Minimal Fastboot says that it is. I have RSD lite installed on my CPU but can't seem to find a working link to the stock T-Mo images. Any help would be appreciated.
Just to add...if I attempt ota I get 'failed to hab check boot'. When trying to boot into recovery I get 'failed to hab check recovery'.
Edit: could I just unlock and root to solve this problem? If so, would someone point me to a different method than the Moto Toolkit found here? It doesn't recognize my moto even though all drivers and Motorola Device Manager are installed.

I have the T Mobile motomaker. Solved the problem with RSD Lite and factory Kit Kat images.

[Q] Need to unlock bootloader, but borked device

Basically, I tried to flash the latest 5.1 image but unsuccessfully as the system.img wasn't extracted. For some reason I locked the bootloader and now I can't boot into a working system, and I can't reflash anything as the bootloader is locked. When attempting to unlock, it is telling me to go into dev settings to allow unlock.
Is there anything I can do?
Few threads about this today. Seems a regular user error. Can't think of a fix right now..

Can't. Boot loader is locked and requires a setting in android to be changed but android can't boot. Catch 22

Are you positive? I just flashed a Nexus 7 from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 with fastboot. fastboot oem unlock worked without checking that box.

Damn, that's really lame...
Wow this craps really ticking me off with this update and all. I have been rooting modding for years and every damn time I get a device that uses fastboot I get nothing but trouble. I hard bricked three devices in the past with fastboot and it seems over the years fastboot hasn't gotten any better or easier. What a shame I love the nexus 6 but I'm seriously starting to reconsider and going back to the good old Odin devices.
I'm an idiot.
I made the mistake of trying to update my Nexus 6 (Stock 5.0 encrypted, rooted, Xposed) while talking to AT&T customer service on my other phone. Distracted flashing is a bad idea. I am sure I made SEVERAL mistakes.
I too was trying to flash the new 5.1 image and got an error when running ./flash-all.sh (I'm on a Macbook). Friend suggested I try to do it by flashing the boot.img recovery.img and then system.img manually. Got the boot to flash. Recovery flashed. System failed. Unfortunately I have closed the terminal windows and don't have the errors anymore. When it failed it said something about insufficient space. So (I'm assuming this is where I f**ked up) I hit start from the boot loader screen to boot into the system and delete some things even though I had plenty of space (over 20gb). It booted fine. When I went to reboot into bootloader, I accidentally selected recovery. It booted back into TWRP which confused me. I thought best bet would be to wipe the device and start over fresh. I wiped everything and booted back into bootloader... blackness. Now I have no response from the device at all. Nothing. No response from the power button. Nothing when I plug to a charger. Just blackness. Just a pretty, 2 day old Nexus 6 (warranty replacement from T-Mobile on Tuesday).
You wiped the boot partition too? Ouch...
Last time I did that, it was with my Nook Color. Thankfully that was able to boot from SD cards...
I have a similar problem with another Nexus 7 right now. Flash went corrupt, won't boot at all. No bootloader, no Google logo, nothing.
My only hope is that the device still talks to the computer, it shows up as a Qualcomm device under Ports in Windows Dev Manager. QPST picks it up and says it's in download mode. If I can source the hex files to flash, I think I can bring it back. I'm only sharing that because it might be your only hope too. Godspeed, sir.

lol, whats so hard with fastboot? fastboot oem unlock is rocket science? how about fastboot flash recovery recname.img? only way to hardbrick with fastboot is to flaah something to your device that doesnt belong there, or flash something into the wrong partition. how did you "hard brick" with fastboot???

The problem is that bootloader got relocked, and the OP is unable to get to the setting to enable oem unlock. Fastboot is errors out saying to Check "Allow OEM unlock", and FAILED (remote failure).
I would find it hard to believe that there is no solution to this. With all the bright minds here on XDA, I'm sure it can be figured out. The unlock setting must be stored somewhere, and it should be accessible.
When I first got my Nexus 6, I booted into the bootloader right after taking it out of the box (i.e., without booting into Android), and I was able to unlock the bootloader without having checked "Allow OEM unlock" in developer options. This could mean that the setting could potentially be located in /data somewhere.
OP, have you tried a factory reset in recovery? Have you tried playing around with the other bootloader menu items (e.g., "Factory", etc.)?

Thank you for taking a look at my post. I have tried all the options in the bootloader menu with no dice. Things aren't looking promising for me...

Hi all,
When you are reading my thread, I bet you want to root your new BLU Vivo XL. However, please be careful what you are going to do. I assume you know how to unlock bootloader for now.
Not like its brother, BLU Life one X 2016, the processing of unlock bootloader through adb will cause your phone become soft brick (bootloop). Instead of colorful logo. you are now seeing white "Android" on the black screen, and it keep going and going ...
I am not an expert, but I have been playing with a lot of phones, including recently rooted/unlock_bootloader Life X 16 which is very good phone. For right now, there is no safeway to unlock bootloader and root. All one click root are not working.
I know most of you get this phone from Bestbuy, so you sill have time to return or exchange.
*** If you brick your phone, do not too worry. Assume you have USB debug checked and you unlocked bootloader ( that is why you brick it), go ahead and flash TWRP in fastboot, then download firmware and restore it in TWRP

I am that guy. Got the phone from Best Buy. Did the OEM unlock and USB debugging from developer options. Next I booted into Fastboot and issued the "fastboot oem unlock". It proceeded to erase the phone including the boot image. Now there doesn't seem to be anyway to get back to the bootloader to flash a recovery image. Strangely there doesn't seem to be anyway back into the bootloader if you can't boot into recovery. I have tried every key combination that I can think of but it seems that without a recovery you are not getting back into the bootloader.
Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated. It's 250 miles round trip to BB for me. I live fairly remote in Idaho.
Thanks

My recovery is still untouched, so does bootloader. That is why I said mine os softbrick. It means if I have the stock ROM, then I am ready to go back alive again. I cannot imagine how could you erase the stock recovery? Unless you failed the custom recovery, then it probadly hard bricked. If I can find how to fix it then I will post here. I am currently working around with MTK Droid tool and SP Flash tool, but they are working partially only. Cannot write out the scatter file. Man, this phone is tough.
I have at least 15 devices rooted. Always you could fastboot. This is a first for me.
I merged two win.000 and win.001 files into one .win, now I got 2 final files: boot.emmc.win and system.ext4.win,

It would be really nice if someone can upload the back up of the logo partition. I have the Gionee logo on this, not a big deal.
This is because first these phones are MTK67xx phone, and 2nd they are running on new android 5.1. So the way they are rooted different with the old ways.

Bam-Great
Followed all of the instructions and many tries later I have a phone that boots and works just fine. What I'm not finding is an image of the original rom anywhere. Pretty sure I've looked closely but if anyone has a link take me to your leader. My thanks to the awesome person that put this tutorial together. If anyone has bricked their phone trying to root follow these instructions.
Note: The stock MS drivers did not work make sure to load the VCOM drivers.
Many thanks again,

Any ideas if this restore method with Bypass the Factory reset protection?
Just as a quick update. Simply formatting with the flash tool. And installing the gionee firmware was enough to bypass the Google factory reset prevention. Hope this helps anyone else that forget there Gmail address they used.
Whats the method/tehnique for doing the restore of the TWRP backup of the factory OS? I tried throwing the extracted folder on there and zipping it up and throwing it onto the phones internal memory and TWRP didnt seem to recognize wither when I went into the restore menu. What am I missing?

So that worked for the restore. I was able to get back into what appears to be the factory installed ROM. However I lost all of my SIM card functionality now my phone will not recognize my SIM no matter which slot I stick it into. I tried doing a complete wipe and restoring again but nothing appears to be working. I am thinking I am going to have to go back to the GIONEE based firmware.....

How to Unlock Bootloader, Flash TWRP, and ROOT LG G4 H811 T-Mobile.

Now, I know this tutorial exists all over the place, like one-click and UnjustifiedDev tutorial but none seemed to work. I am sharing the steps and method I used IN-DEPTH command for command on how to unlock, flash, and root the LG G4 from Tmobile.
NOTE THIS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE SO BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA
1. Activate developer settings by entering the about section and tapping build number 7 times.
2. Enter your developer settings and MAKE sure you have 'Allow OEM unlock' and 'USB Debugging' enabled.
3. Download the latest SuperSU zip and move it onto your SD card.
4. Using the android issue SDK. Open a command window and link it to your SDK folder where ADB is located (typically Platform-Tools)
5. Once the Command window is linked to the folder, connect your device via USB and allow the connection.
6. On the command window type 'adb reboot bootloader' and the device should reboot with the fastboot options on the upper left of the phone screen
7. Once again on the command window type 'fastboot oem unlock' and the command window should say OKAY and complete the action.
8. To Confirm that the device is unlocked type 'fastboot getvar unlock' and the window should respond with 'Unlock: YES'
9. Now download the latest available TWRP and drop it into the platform-tools folder where your ADB.exe is located.
10. On your Command Window type 'fastboot flash recovery "NAME OF TWRP FILE" if you get the error ' cannot load 'twrp-X.X.X.X-h811' you need to add .img to the end of the filename
11. Once the process completes you will see 'target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32968 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.088s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time:'
THE FAILED UNKNOWN COMMAND NOTICE CAN BE IGNORED
12. Once the process completes the device may not let you enter recovery from the traditional method using the buttons on the back of the phone so the easiest method is to, on your command window, type
'fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h811.img' and the device should respond within just a few seconds and reboot into TWRP.
13. Once the device reboots, enter twrp and tap on install and locate the SuperSU.zip and allow it to install.
14. Once the process completes successfully, wipe cache to be safe and reboot your device.
15. Resetup your device and restore your data if necessary and install a root checker from Google Play to confirm root!
THATS IT GUYS! This took me a long time to figure this out and it's a combination of different methods to get it to work!
All credit goes to the Devs of TWRP and SuperSU!
I posted in General because I'm a new user so please move to appropriate forums! thanks!
This thread should be closed as theres already a proper one on here..http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227

Please refer to the first line of my post. I understand that there are a large series of posts about how to do this but this is the only one that works for me even with me running android M.

The guide you linked does not show how to unlock the bootloader or install TWRP to allow the install of SU for users that are already on Marshmallow. The other guide would have been perfect if I already had bootloader unlocked and SU installed.

Yes it does. You do not need to use any codes, just enable oem unlocking in dev settings and type fastboot oem unlock and it will be unlocked.
Can't get twrp installed
Thanks for the step by step directions. I'm having trouble restarting my H811 after I've flashed TWRP. My device doesn't respond to the button method of entering recovery and 'fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h811.img' command doesn't do anything. My device is 20i and I've unlocked the bootloader. Any ideas? Seems like I've tried everything and can't get TWRP to install. Any help would be great...thanks
I have the G4 LGUS991 gotta can I tell if it's h811?

Can't remember which thread, but I ran into the same problem you have and solved it by using an additional command like fastboot erase userdata. If you google it, you'll see the commands I mean. Basically, I had to factory reset the device through fastboot first (it sits there for several minutes to do this) before installing/booting twrp. And yes, the log will show that the process was successful, not a failure as mentioned by OP. Once I did that, I booted in twrp and flashed the rom zip without any trouble.
So, you guys mean we have Marshmallow on T mobile G4, I didn't get it yet.
Please somebody give me a link to the OTA or update.zip for MM of LG G4
This one worked for me!
This is the only guide that worked for me.
I unlocked bootloader using adb, no problems...
I tried to flash TWPR with fastboot but kept getting errors. Booting into recovery got a dead android minion and red triangle with ! I ran this stupid recovery a dozen times and read a dozen threads with no obvious answers.
This guide says "ignore the error" and run fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h811.img which immediately opened TWRP and allowed SuperSU-2.71.zip to be flashed.
The part most guides are missing is the fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h811.img, so my thanks go here. Some other guides are so difficult to read and follow.
Thanks OP !
Yes, MM Android 6.0 went OTA for T-Mobile a month or so ago...
If you are already on Marshmallow, can't you do the 'fastboot oem unluck' with ADB and install SuperSU through the play store to get root? The part for TWRP would only give you the ablity to flash other roms.
Edit: Nevemind I'm wrong. You need TWRP to install SuperSU which roots the phone. SuperSU in the Play Store will only grant root acess to your apps.

I've just got a H811 and it automatically updated to Android 6 when I loaded it up. I will be giving this guide a go this evening. Many of the other links on the web are for lollipop and were released when the phone came out, so I'm thankful that this seems straight forward. http://uslugi.nie-spamuj.eu/rtv,1,0.html Hoping that it goes that way.
How to lock bootloader or hide status: bootloader state: unlocked?
Sr for my English!
So I followed this guide and I appear to be soft bricked at best and hard bricked at worst. I did read the other guide linked in the second response and I found a major difference that might be my problem. So in the guide linked in the second response it doesn't say to even try flashing TWRP from fastboot. It says to just boot from it then install it from within TWRP. I followed the steps verbatim and my phone is currently stuck at the T-Mobile splash screen. Any suggestions? I have tried to boot into recovery by holding down and the power and releasing the power for a second when the logo comes up. I get into the Factory data reset screen and select Yes twice then the green guy shows up and the phone resets but stays at the T-Mobile splash screen. I don't have ADB or fastboot with the phone in this state.
hi Guys,
So i just wanted to make sure and present my ask -
So, currently twrp flashing and obtaining root is still buggy for those who have android 6.0 preinstalled? Is this a correct assumption?
Also, my ask - I dont want root but i would like a custom recovery so that I may flash custom fonts. My work email (Good for Enterprise) is very much needed (although i hate it to the core).
Can someone please answer me / correct if I mentioned something wrong?
Thanks

It's not buggy at all. All the tedium has already been bypassed if you already have Marshmallow installed.
Follow autoprime's original guide, steps 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 under the Bootloader OEM Unlock + Root section. I would recommend a more up-to-date version of TWRP than 2.8.7.1 though. Go to TWRP's download site for the latest version.

XZ3 unlock bootloader [Failed: Command did not succeed] someone resolved?

has anyone solved this problem by unlocking the bootloader? with error: Failed: Command did not succeed
I tried the following bulds:
52.0.A.3.202
52.0.A.8.14
52.0.A.8.25
52.0.A.8.50
Thanks
Bibi
small update:
after updating to 52.0.A.8.50, I made "factory settings" to reset it to the old version.
But when I restart without wifi, I find build 52.0.A.8.50 again
And now the OEM unlock option, which was usable before, has turned gray !! Mystery for me.
Obviously he wants me to update to 52.0.A.8.85 !!!
SOLVED INFORMATION:
I was wrong in writing IMEI of my device, and I put a wrong IMEI in SONY's selector, on its official page, which happens to have given its unlock code all quiet.
then the problem FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
can be translated as "I don't have the exact unlock code for your phone"
I did this to version 52.0.A.8.131 that I had installed before.

Try .131 vor wait for September
For wait for Q, maybe Sony will remove more DRM TA protection like it did with P
if it was for 2 or 3 days it is not a problem.
but I can't wait until late September.
Let's say that I bought it to be root .. and if I can't do it .. maybe I'll send it back.
Sorry, but are you telling me that they haven't solved even after almost a year?
nobody rooted?
The 3.131 where I can find it and flash arla.
if I find it on XFIRM, what program do I use to put it in my phone?
among other things to set it to factory settings he left me at 52.0.A.8.50, even without wifi.
And nice surprise .. OEM unlock is now deactivated !!!!
it leaves me very mulble

OEM unlock needs internet via a simcard and a phone restart
There ate many unlocked users using magisk and twrp.
I would recommend to follow the Sony unlocking instructions

Then:
if I do a factory reboot and I don't put the wifi in the first cellphone settings, the OEM unlock option remains gray.
If I do it and I put the wifi in the meantime that is imposed then OEM unlock is usable and therefore can be activated. Correct?
(not that it makes much sense)
However I am installing updates one after the other, and for every update I try the command. (what's also coming to 52.0.A.8.131 which has been expanding in August 2019 (practically these days) and text as MartinX3 advised.

It's forced by the mobile providers to check if the simcard allows unlocking
Sony isn't alone here
Unlocking factory resets the phone, too
I did check the unlock box and followed only the Sony instructions and used my generated IMEI code.

wait MartinX3,
aren't you saying that you need a simcard inserted in the cell to unlock it right? just the wifi I hope to activate the option.
Look, I followed Sony's directions (which are basically 4 things on the cross)
But it gives me that error: FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
LIST OF WHAT I DID:
-I do All the appropriate procedures:
-I received the unlock code from the official Sony site
- Platform-tool download and driver
-on the phone sets it basic, active developer commands
- USB DEBUG and UNLOCK OEM tip on the mobile phone menu
- I turn off the phone
-Attack the mobile in fastboot mode (blue light)
-then in the devices and printers, which appears in new one when I plug in the cel in fastboot mode, I update the driver of the device appeared, android studio).
-I do the ADB command -> fastboot devices
**and ai read the model serial
- Then enter the code to unlock the phone: fastboot oem unlock 0xCODESEIAL
**and I get this: FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I tried the .107, now I try with .131 as you recommended me)
UPDATE:
badly wrong, even with the 52.0.A.8.131 DOES NOT, same identical error.
Sony in his guide makes it so easy, but neither does he make the possible mistakes.
And that I can't find an explanation for this specific error.

I know you can flash even with androxyed flash, but when you do ... it doesn't start anymore (the white sony script remained) ...
and I went a bit panicked !!!!
doing the Flash of the original firware it has been restored, but returned to the point of before. Install twrp.twp or superSU in short, activate the ROOT
the writing that says that the bootloader is corrupt, at start each time the cell terrifies me every time I see it. BRRRR

yes yes, I know that with the flash mode they can reinstall the official system.
there is also the official sony flastool called EMMA. which I have to say is not bad.

yes, it's like you say.
Looking at the guides, I think the right solution for me is an official firmware kernel that has both twrp and magikic inside.
I found a guide of 2017, but the official firmware files have changed, I do not find myself in the guide.
Can't you recommend something to me, or the keywords to look for on this theme?
I wanted to learn to change the firmware for future root myself.

I have sadly no time to do it and can only recommend the ROM section for the XZ3 in XDA (twrp)

Each has its own spaces. do not worry. Meanwhile, I've made progress !!!
You know that after unblock I had problems installing TWRP.Practically the command gave error.
I found the solution around.
The guides say:
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
but I have this error:
HTML:
FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')
basically in the version of android 9 they created 2 partitions and practically the recovery was divided into recovery ramdisck, recovery ...
They explain it HERE
In practice some new systems (I did not understand if the kelner or just the boot), do not have the active recovery partition and then flash the recovery, it is like doing it on a folder that does not exist.
So they recommend starting the mini twrp operating system via adb.
And through this active twrp (but not installed), install twrp itself, and then the apps for the root.
So, I use the new command that starts twrp without installing it:
HTML:
fastboot boot twrp.img
then it takes 3 minutes with the word sony and then I see twrp
I make a twrp backup for security
then from there I install .img used for the command and moved to the phone while twrp is active and I do install, install img and select partition recovery ramdisck.
I tried to install also in the boot partition, which shows in the list.
and apparently the cell works correctly anyway.
In the guides they never say in which partition to put.
Meanwhile there are install magisk 18.1 (and a zip called permissive; I don't know what it is but from the name it seems useful).
Well, everything is smooth and without errors.
Restart, I use the twrp access commands (which in the case of xz3 are volume DOWN + prower simultaneously while the phone is still off).
And the recovery is there, but it has the usual tuoch problem that doesn't work.
I see the twrp main screen, which seems to work correctly, but the touch ...
I then checked the root, via the app downloadable on the cell from the magisk manager repository and marks the correct root.
Obviously I don't update anything about 19.3, which you wrote in other places that is corrupt.
: Sciocco: NOW! I just have to fix twrp and my epic quest will be over.
(although I'm worried about flashing a hypothetical Q that's coming out)
can you give me some inspiration for the touch that doesn't work twrp?
