FIX
Found the Problem!
The Device say's its unlocked but it wasnt so i unlock it second time and it just reboots after second unlock in to the TWRP.
Maybe it will help someone
You couldn't flash TWRP if you didn't unlock bootloader - and the phone warns you that bootloader is unlocked
If you want to get rid of the warning, you must re-lock bootloader, but it will trigger factory reset
Btw, enable Development options and check if OEM Unlocking is enabled
And in Fastboot, check does it show Bootloader and FRP unlocked

New Xiaomi A2 global bricked???

I was trying to install Camera2 on it. Unlocked it with developer options ->Unlock OEM
After try some things I reset factory the cellphone and decide to forget camera2 things...
So I went to developer options and LOCKED OEM.
After that I reboot in fastboot mode and did fastboot oem lock
Now the cellphone is locked in a bootloop saying that my deveice loaded a differente operational system and a screen to visit miui.com/unlock.
The unlock aplication doesn't work. Says that I can't unlock the device.
So that means I lost my crazy brand new phone? THere's any solution? The Test Point solution will work? Is that the only solution???
Thiank you for any response.

"So I went to developer option and LOCKED OEM" can you be a little more clear. Because unlocking the bootloader locks the OEM unlock option in the developer settings.
Possible cause of your bootloop is the change in your build.prop file.
I did a similar mistake as well. My phone was stuck in a bootloop. My mistake was that I installed Magisk and forgot to uninstall it through the Magisk manager before locking the bootloader and so the system were not in their stock state.
What I did was, I just booted my phone into fastboot.
Unlocked the bootloader again by using "fastboot OEM unlock". Went into fastboot again. Checked the current active slot by "fastboot getvar current-slot" and flashed the stock boot image from the stock pie rom found on Mi website.

What I did was with the phone working I entered on configuration, developer, and turned of the oem lock option.
Than I reboot in fastboot and did fastboot oem lock.
This made the cellphone unbootable. Bootloop saying that I'm trying to start a different operational system.
And I can't make fastboot unlock because I turned off the option in the system, so I can't send fastboot commands like oem edl, unlock, unlock-critical and etc...
I can't do nothing :/
I don't know how the option was working, but was... I know it should be locked, but this time wasn't. Was after I factory reset the cellphone
Your fault that you locked bootloader on a modified system. Do a research next time

Your device is corrupt

Hi there,
I just bought a pixel 5 phone and tried to unlock bootloader
After I made the steps described in that post for P5 ... after flasing the magisk img file I wanted to reboot the phone but it is stuck on the message:
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device.
link..."
What can I do to fix that issue? I'm trying to root it and install lineageos after.
Regards,
LE: Most probably I run the command with fastboot installed with apt in ubuntu 20
Version from fastboot from ubuntu: fastboot version 1:8.1.0+r23-5ubuntu2
LEE:
Pfiu ... I was pretty scared ... fixed it with this link: https://flash.android.com/devices
Can somebody let me know please if the issue was because of the bad fastboot version?
Also ... I saw there is a kddi version and without it ... tried without kddi as I don't know exactly to verify if I'm having kddi
I wanted to try again to root the phone. Went to developer options and now oem unlocking is grayed, i cannot change id and it says:
"bootloader is already unlocked".

Then I said to go to fastboot mode but when I'm running the command:
Code:
fastboot devices
it cannot see my phone now, I'm seeing an empty output now.
Also ... when I want to start the phone I'm seeing:
"the bootloader is unlocked and the integrity ..."

Can somebody please help me? what should I do?
What's the problem? The message appears on some devices that had their bootloader unlocked. So the message alone does not matter.
The problem is that I don't have root access and I want to try again those steps for root
...
I want to make the steps described for how to unlock the bootloader and have root permissions as I want to install then lineageos on the phone
Thank you
LE: so the problem is described above in more details and what exactly I did before coming at this situation
So I was able to see again the device in fastboot (enabled stay awake)
When I tried command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
it said it is already unlocked
Then I flashed magisk img but I can't see it on my phone
Any advice please?

Pull down your notifications and allow USB debugging after plugging in on your PC perhaps? Also check the box to always allow.
I don't try anymore to root my phone as I don't want to use lineageos custom rom. I already installed one that doesn't need root.
Thanks
LE: What I installed without root required had issue for me with sim manager
I finally rooted my phone and installed lineageos that is working well

Softbrick? Not sure

Hi guys, thank you ahead for helping me.
I've unlocked the bootloader successfully and installed TWRP and Rooted, but found some issues with Banking apps, PayPal, NFC, Google pay, so I decided to lock the bootloader again.
Following the procedure by Jerry08 downloaded C35, installed via TWRP, and stock recovery was restore just fine.
But while trying to access Bootloader I'm not able to, tried:
adb reboot fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
Holding Vol down and power
Deep-in test says: "you can only apply to exit in-depth test after carrying out bootloader lock operation in fastboot mode"
Last method worked, I get "bootloader" with Chinese words flashes for a second and then reboots to system.
I'm able to boot into stock recovery, but not into Bootloader for some reason, Formatted Data and tried again without luck.
Any suggestions?
Installed RMX1931EX_11_A.09_200116_dfb212dd.ofp with Auth-Flash and MSMTool, you need to purchase credits 7$, use #3 MSMtool from Auth-fash and done bootloader locked and brand new phone.
But bootloader was still unlocked, and not able to access bootloader via adb reboot bootloader.
In-deph test exit does not work either
any updates i have the same problem

Question Unlock bootloader after relocking it

Hey!
I got a Zenfone 8 from a friend, and he told me that he tried to flash Lineage OS once, for some reason he got some errors and ended up going back to the stock ROM and relocking the bootloader.
Now I'm trying to unlock the bootloader again through the ASUS app, but it doesn't work. He tried to help me with some commands through fastboot mode and it also didn't work. There is any way to unlock it again after relocking it once?
He said he used the command 'fastboot oem asus-csc_lk' to relock it, don't know if it is hepful.
edit: We tried 'fastboot oem unlock' 'fastboot flashing unlock' (failed with permission error) and 'fastboot oem asus-unlock' (which resulted in FAILED (remote: 'Verify unlock token fail.')
Also AsusUnlock apk installs succesfully through ADB but fails to unlock with error 24802. Trying to install it through the phone doesn't work and gives me an error.
give more information please, from what build did your friend flash the lineageos? to what build did he go back to? did you install latest working ADB? are the drivers for the fastboot installed correctly? are you connected to the internet when trying to run the app on the phone?

He said he followed what was on the guide he found, first updated to Android 12, the latest on on asus website (WW-31.1004.0404.107), and then tried to flash LineageOS ROM, then he got some errors and went back to Android 12 and relocked the bootloader. He said he never tried anything again. When I got the phone it was on Android 12, I tried unlocking it as I said and it didn't work. Then I downgraded it to 11 using the firmware from asus website (Version Android 12 to Android 11), and tried to unlock it again using Android 11. Also didn't work.
About ADB and Fastboot drivers, they are correctly installed, tried some "standalone" versions and also the one that come with android SDK Platform Tools. Tested it on other devices and it worked well. And the phone was connected to the internet when I tried using the app, I'm sure because I downloaded it on the phone aswell, using the browser.
edit: Actually I'm not sure about the fastboot drivers, I've just downloaded the sdk tools from google website.
what lineageos did he flasah? if its 18.1 thats android 11... propably why he got the errors.

That's probably it. But there's any way to unlock the bootloader again so I can give it another try?

I do get the warning screen, but also when checking with fastboot oem device-info it returns this:
C:\Users\delci\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false

The warning appears, but it is not unlocked. Every command fails, device-info says that my device is not unlocked., it is locked.
What I'm trying to do is unlock it.
Let me try to explain what happened again.
The phone has been unlocked to install LineageOS. It didn't work. The past owner then installed the stock rom and locked it using this command: 'fastboot oem asus-csc_lk'.
Then I bought the phone from him, and now I'm trying to unlock it again, but it doesn't work.
The question then is: Is it possible to unlock a phone that has previously been unlocked and then relocked?
Hey, did you got it to work ?
