Hello, First post here so bear with me if i sound like a noob
My Nokia 8 TA- 1004 is bricked and I cant re-flash stock firmware because even though my Bootloader is unlocked, Critical is not unlocked ;( . I can only access Twrp and that doesn't seem of much help, I've tried unlocking critical but fastboot commands just wont work ( adb commands do work, while in twrp ). Also I panicked when my phone got bricked and wiped everything including the system with twrp ;(. Is there anything i can do now, or has it all gone pear shaped for my phone?:crying: would it work if I tried to restore a twrp backup? can someone with 1004 send me their backup
Do you have twrp now? If so go to reboot and click on bootloader. You will get into download mode where you can use fastboot commands to unlock critical

Well that is strange?
you used
PHP:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.key
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
right?
i bet he didn't write the command "fastboot flash unlock unlock.key" again.

Yes, i cant do it because i dont have the unlock.key anymore and nokia wont send me another...... is there any other way to go about it, perhaps flashing the partitions manually? Or can someone here make unlock keys?

Well @hikari_calyx used to generate unlock keys but he stopped generating because n8 recieved official unlock method but i would try to contact him. Did you deleted the e mail that hmd sent or link broken? If the link is broken now i would try to contact hmd first

Yep, Link is broken.
I did try emailing them but they haven't replied yet, also chatted with their customer service rep who says "This service is not provided anymore" strange.
Just unbricked it, at least somewhat. I reflashed the system and boot Imgs and i can now boot the phone though i doubt i can run the phone like this for a long time. I've tried to obtain the unlock key by using the hmd bootloader unlocker but it gives me a "google server error" strange nothing seems to be going my way. Just curious hmd says that devices can no longer be unlocked, is this true? and how can i downgrade abl?

Hey guys last days im started looking how unlock my c6602 and i cant find any way that work for me
I tried doomlord way and didnt worked what i did:
1-Got my bootloader key from sony
2-connected my phone in fastboot mode to my pc
3-opend command window in the place i installed fastboot drivers
4-typed: FASTBOOT.EXE -I 0X0FCE GETVAR VERSION then enter i got VERSION:0.5
5-typed:FASTBOOT.EXE -I 0X0FCE OEM UNLOCK 0X************
6-i got that error :invalit id (0x**************)
I checked the number many times and it was currect SO WHY???
I tried flashtool to unlock and i got that (failed remote: command did not success)
Is sevice menu says bootloader unlock allowed: yes
Is there any solution for that??
Running:4.3 stock %100
EDIT: today tried again in command window AND NOW EVERY TIME I THY THAT SAYS failed remote: command did not success)!!!!!:crying:
I said this to you when you asked in the bootloader unlock thread, but you didn't respond or acknowledge my reply.
The unlock key is case sensitive. Meaning that any letters that are upper case (capital letters) must be entered in upper case. So E must be entered as E, not e.
If you don't enter the unlock key exactly how they sent it to you, it will not work.
If it still won't work, maybe you entered your IMEI incorrectly when requesting the unlock key. Try requesting it again and double check the IMEI when you enter it into the form, as a key generated for the incorrect IMEI also will not work.

I EntErEd the E as E and B as B and still the same
And also when i request me key i put my full IMEI and click ok and its says YOUR IMei is incurrect (try delete the last charecter) is thats may the problem?
Anyway i bored of that unlocking story now im trying to get perooted rom
Well, you're definitely doing something wrong. Both Flashtool and fastboot work for unlocking the bootloader for everyone else.
From your screenshot in the bootloader unlock thread, you were entering the key with all lower case characters, which was probably wrong if you're now entering some upper case characters. Enter it EXACTLY how it is in the email.
Anyway, good luck flashing any rom without root. You'll need root to install a recovery.

Are you deliberately not reading what I'm telling you or something?
You'll need root to install a recovery to flash that rom. If you don't want to unlock your bootloader, you will need to downgrade to a 4.2.2 stock rom.

I guess I'm having the same issue as when I was trying to unlock bootloader through flashtool I used the code from Sony website generated by my IMEI, I copied it Exactly as they have sent it and flashtools response was at first Fail and when I tried to do it second time it happened to work and said 'okay' but after turning my phone on it ended up in endless loop... I tried it on 4.3 and 4.2. The bootloader unlock allowed says yes.
Please help
I have flashed my device without enabling debug mode. I have used Mi Flash to flash my device. After a reboot, I got stuck on fastboot, but bootloader is locked. Also, I can't enter on twrp...
If I do: fastboot devices, my device is recognized by PC.
If I do: fastboot oem device-info, all information is false except device tempered...On "device unlocked" it shows false too... It means that bootloader is locked.
if I do: adb devices: under List of devices attached, there is no device.
What should I do? Please help me out.

Bro it'd be highly appreciated if you could guide me what that is and what will it do ? i opened the website and it says you must have officially bootloader unlocked.
If your bootloader is locked, you need to unock it first before you can do anything. If you had registered your device with your Mi account, you can still do that following this description:
https://www.stechguide.com/mi-flash-unlock-tool-to-unlock-bootloader-of-xiaomi-devices/
If you did not register your device before, there is no way to get it repaired but by an official verndor or Xiaomi customer support.
Sorry if that is bad news for you.

The issue is, my mobile isnt bound with my MI account. cant unlock. my mi account is unlock supported but my mobile isnt connected to my account. thats fuked up.
I bought the mobile from china, but i'm not in china. i cant claim warranty. i dont know what would be the procedure now.
Yeah, same for me. Also bought mine from a vendor in China.
Good phone, but without support within your country, there is nothing you can do now.
Sorry for the bad news, mate.
The only way its go to EDL mode by forcing its by hacking the hardware to force EDL mode and do test point to reach edl it will detected as qloader9008 hub in the device manger and you can flash rom using this method
Reference
Its in indonesian language but atleast the video explain how to go to EDL mode
Goodluck
Cool thing! Does it also work for hard bricked devices?

I have same issue on my device realme 5.can you solve it??plzz help me.my contact number is 03090386341
(SOLVED) So I wanted to debrand my phone, and I saw this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/c432-oeminfo-flash-twrp-t3384903
problem is, the oem I flashed with twrp was for the p9 lite, now my phone doesn't boot inside the os, it only goes to huawei erecovery but the download always fails. I can boot to fastboot mode but everything I try to do it says command not allowed, only fastboot devices work
I hope someone can help me as I really need my phone for work, thanks very much
my original cust was C02
I also have a twrp backup I did, but I just cant get inside twrp because as soon the phone turns on it goes to erecovery
Edit: i finally resolved and I'm going to really help you if you flashed the wrong oem file just like me, just follow these steps:
1. since you installed a new oeminfo, you are gonna need to unlock the bootloader again, (just like you did the first time), but wait! here is what I did wrong, when you request an unlock code, huawei in the unlock page is gonna ask you for your imei and serial number, I was lazy and I got my imei via fastboot instead of checking the one on my phone's box, worst idea ever because when you flash another oem your imei is gonna change so that's why in the site it said sn and imei are mismatching, so take the IMEI on your phone's box and NOT via fastboot. Anyway, let's go to part 2
2. in the unlocking site they are gonna ask for a product id wich you can get by writing *#*#1357946#*#* in the phone's dialpad, but you're probably thinking "how can I do that if my phone does't boot the os?" but don't worry my brudda! just download this https://cloud.mail.ru/public/KGmS/1cEhHg1G6 , open it and chose huawei y300-0100 as product model, then put your IMEI (take the one from your phone's box!!) and it's gonna give you the product id you need in the huawei site.
3. once they give you the unlocking password, power off your huawei and connect it in your pc with your usb while holding the volume down button, you should go in fastboot mode
4. once you are in fastboot mode write in the cmd fastboot oem unlock (9982883838382365) <<(instead of this numbers write the unlocking password they gave you in the huawei unlocking site) aaaand done, you unlocked the bootloader once again.
5. if you previously had twrp (before flashing the wrong oem file) it's gonna pop up when you boot the phone, now you can use fastboot or twrp again to flash the right oem (or stock rom)
I REALLY HOPE I'M GONNA HELP YOU BECAUSE I KNOW HOW BAD IT FEELS WHEN YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE LIKE I DID!!
Now bye everyone I need to go play soccer and I'm late

unlock the bootloader again, even if it says its locked, after that fastboot should work fine. then you can try again booting into twrp and flash the right oeminfo

I got it directly in the site I also tried this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/how-to-product-id-bricked-p9-t3561156
but when I click on commit after writing all in the huawei unlock site bars it says SN and IMEI are mismatched
I mean you really f***ed up there. I thought that you could restore the device by eRecovery but If you would do that you would brick it completely bc it would Download everything for the p9...
you can't do anything without the unlock Code.
You could otherwise try to force upgrade via dload
---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------
You could try this Generator https://cloud.mail.ru/public/KGmS/1cEhHg1G6
or DC unlocker (costs money)
You can use Firmware finder for PC and eRecovery DNS method to restore your phone to any firmware you want
I'm doing some research before I commit to unlocking my bootloader, and I can't find anything definitive on whether or not it's possible to re-lock after unlocking with the official tool. I have experience unlocking and re-locking bootloaders, flashing custom recoveries/ROMs/kernels etc but only with Nexus and Samsung phones, so I just want to make sure I'm clear on how Nokia's setup differs (If at all). Would also be interested to find out if Nokia will still offer me OTA's with unlocked bootloader.
Thanks for any help, and feel free to move or close the thread if it matches another one that I've missed.

No, and nobody should do it. It will brick your device.
The point of a locked bootloader is to prevent unofficial software from running, and the point of unlocking it is to make that possible. So relocking the bootloader with unofficial software installed will make the phone think that the software got corrupted and rightfully lock down the device.

Basically anyone should be able to do it and it shouldn't brick your device, as per Google's bootloader recommendations. However, manufacturers decide to cripple bootloaders not to support it in the verified boot chain (where kernel verification can be explicitly made against a custom root of trust set after the device has left the factory i.e. set by the user, instead of the original root of trust). As far as I know, only Pixel devices implement this, and can be achieved by issuing the command:
Code:
fastboot flash avb_custom_key <key_blob>
I'm sure there are lots of advanced users/modders that can find this feature beneficial (if implemented by the device vendors).

I can assume that, in service centers, they are able to reflash the entire firmware including the (secondary) bootloader. They would probably boot the device into EDL mode, and flash it with stock firmware, with a properly signed Qualcomm EDL programmer, and use Qualcomm's QFIL tool to do this.

Hello.
i have a Huawei P10. [VTR-L29 9.0.1.159(C185E3R1P9)]. I updated it using hisuite and firmware finder via erecovery 2 weeks ago, then recently i tried to check for updates in hisuite, an update is available, with the same build number(developer) with size of 880mb and i updated it, after completion of update, phone restarts, verify installation packages and proceed with update installing, after 99% phone restarts again and not turning on itself, i tried manually turning it on, not successful. so I tried plugging it in my computer, hisuite detects it, and system recovery is the only option. i tried but it failed, and should be taken to the service center.
What should I do?
-my phone was purchased abroad
-warranty expired a year ago
-i dont have the box of it and the imei infos.
If anyone can help me, please I need it. THANKS

I updated it using hisuite and firmware finder via erecovery 2 weeks ago, then recently i tried to check for updates in hisuite, an update is available, with the same build number(developer) with size of 880mb and i updated it, after completion of update, phone restarts, verify installation packages and proceed with update installing, after 99% phone restarts again and not turning on itself, i tried manually turning it on, not successful. so I tried plugging it in my computer, hisuite detects it, and system recovery is the only option. i tried but it failed, and should be taken to the service center.
What should I do?
-my phone was purchased abroad
-warranty expired a year ago
-i dont have the box of it and the imei infos.
If anyone can help me, please I need it. THANKS

Hope that bootyloader still working, else there's a chance for you to get another phone.
If I had to go thru what you have today... I would try to flash Emui 9 based RR or Los just to revived while enjoying the pure android interface.
If all else fails... Go back to basic maybe there is a thing or two that you've missed

Can you get to the bootyloader or recovery? As long as bootyloader still working there's still a chance for revival.
You can try flash stock recovery & try to get it to flash the stock fw from it.
I have solution

I don't see any articles on for unpaid versions to unlock the bootloader. The only safe & easy is thru dcunlocker.
Hav u tried boot to erecovery & see if it can recover that stock firmware??

I tried erecovery as you said but I failed to do so, the only hope I think is just the fastboot mode. also, I would like to ask if what option or how many credits should I get in DC Unlocker?

I spent roughly not more than 5usd for a code & that's about it. Nothing more... Now I'm happily unlocked that bootyloader :good:
I think the only ways is thru pc or with a small payment at the huawei service centre to get that firmware up and running again.
