[Q] Pleae Help. I made a TWRP error - Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers

About a week ago my brand new 8gb ram 128GB rom ZTE Nubia Red Magic 3 arrived.
I checked with CPUZ its root status and saw a 'yes' and magisk was also installed out of the box.
I stupidly failed to realise that it was most likely unlocked by the seller/or Nubia ZTE for the purposes of installing the Google play store an google browser then presumably was relocked again.
The developer designation code for my device is NX629J.
Assuming the bootloader must be unlocked I downloaded TWRP installer from the Google playstore an installed the WRONG twrp with a locked bootloader.
Then I compounded things by attemping to hold power button an volume up button and booted into twrp from 2 generations previous to my model hoping it might work?
I installed twrp NX609J twrp from the red magic cell which was wrong for my NX629J (from 2 cellphone generations ago).
My cell is now locked in the wrong version of the fastboot screen an every time I try to use an OEM unlock process using a command prompt a message appears on my windows PC informing me that my device is locked an this action is not permitted.
I am listed as a senoir member on XDA developers but have never really coded or written a ROM or programme. I am just listed as a senior member probably as I have been able to read an understand basic guidance for problems an may of helped a few other members in other countries lol.
Or been on here a few years now?
Either way I am FAR from being a 'Senior Member'. Apart from contacting Nubia an asking for unlocking permission or advice;
can anyone help me 'fastboot unbrick' my $1100.00 NZD cellphone please?

I have a similar problem.

Huawei Honor Note 8 root

I get asked a lot how I rooted my Huawei Honor Note 8 so I thought I'd do a basic how to from memory on how I did it. It's relatively easy to do.
You'll need your phone's bootloader unlocked.
The files from Huawei's forums http://club.huawei.com/thread-10828573-1-1.html or https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwyaxIga7s0qc0ZKRGtsdndwV3M/view?usp=sharing
The app is in chinese but has some english on the buttons.
To unlock bootloader:
Got bootloader unlock code with the app on the playstore "DC Huawei Bootloader Codes" (took about 8 hours to get)
Enable USB debugging on the phone & connect it to the computer.
Unlock the bootloader with the program downloaded. Use the first button on the first tab labeled bootloader. Put in unlock code in the pop up box & click ok.
To root:
Enable USB debugging on the phone & connect it to the computer.
Flash the recovery_twrp.img file with the program downloaded. Use the 2nd button on the first tab labeled recovery.
To change twrp into english, click on the 3rd down 2nd row button & then click on the globe button. The globe is really hard to hit! Keep trying till you get it Then select English.
Install SuperSU with TWRP
Should now be rooted!
Question. Is there anything I should do like backup my bootloader or something before starting this process?
benmeroff said:
Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the device; factory reset for sure, and I believe it also erases your internal storage (don't quote me on that though, not sure for this phone), but your OS will remain whatever stock version you had installed until you flash something else.

I did not backup anything.
Ok thanks.. I appreciate it
I have a question, or making a root and unlock the bootloader is associated with a full reset your data and settings that can be done root without losing data?
Nope

Hi guys
I unlocked my note 8 successfully . In startup screen show your devives is unlocked and can not be trusted every time i restar the phone is it normal?
Second thing i flashed twrp by clicking on recovery button then after restarted i clicked on 3rd button of second row to change to english but it didnt say click on english
How to enter twrp recovey i tried pressing power button and volume up nothing happened
Plz help
Yuppers.. not trusted cuz ya unlocked it.
Should be volume up & power. You can also do it with the app. The 2nd tab... recovery. Will boot it into recovery too.
You have to click the globe button on the far right to get to the language. It's a ***** to hit! BTW... TWRP has reverted back to chinese a few time now for some reason on mine. It's kind of annoying considering how hard it is to hit that one button.
Questions about the root process
1) why do you need the unlock code?
2) Where can I find SuperSU for honor note 8? Can someone please provide a link?
3) Has anyone succeeded rooting?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
Please Help!
Everything was find, I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, when I flashed SuperSU it bootloops!
Can someone please help.....
I'm not sure why it would be boot looping. I'd flash it again. Might even try a factory reset before flashing too. You're the first I've heard of with that problem. Make sure you're on version 22.

DC Huawei Bootloader Codes not working
please help
Hi,
I read of the possibility of the root of honor note 8 through oneclickroot, kingroot, etc.
It must first be unlocked bootloader or the software will to unlock?
For unlocking the bootloader you must use to force pay program dc-unlocker?
Thank you

in the app, there is another way to get it. choose not by imei.
write the developer of the app you did not get the code and you want a refund, and pay for the second method. this is how i did it.

Great! Many thanks for your quick reply! I contacted dc-unlocker support and thats what they replied..
Hello, this codes is from factory DB. Sorry, but there not all phones present in this db.
This happens frequently if phone has MEID .
But you can read code by cable, we support almost all huawei.
If reading by cable not acceptable we can do refund.
Im waiting for their next answers at my qustions, what exactly have i do..
I have to download their soft probably and make everything there..
I had no time to check their forum yet, im sure there will be instructions..
EDIT:
Oki so i used DC-unlocker software, received these codes and unlocked Bootloader successfully!
I have rooted both phones already!
I had an issues with ADB drivers on Win10 and on Win7 as well, could not find my devices in devices manager but i have solved it!
TWRP 3.02 with preinstalled SuperSU works fine on B027.. In one of my phones i had B029 so i had to downgrade to B027..
On B029 doesnt work flash command in cmd.. Stuck on "waiting for device"..

Root/Updates/Rebranding/Unbricking - Official FunkyHuawei Support Thread for P10 Plus

This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread.
FunkyHuawei is a (mostly) paid service which allows you to do the following:
1. Install the latest system software, even before it's released by OTA.
2. Install beta/prerelease system software, without needing to be a beta tester.
3. Recover a bricked phone.
4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)
5. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
Except for rooting, all of these features are supported even if you cannot unlock your phone's bootloader.
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-emui-6-huawei-mate-9/
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
P10 Plus Device-Specific Information
The P10 Plus now has a relatively mature community with many methods to do many things.
However, there are still some things only possible with FunkyHuawei, so it would be most useful for:
1. Installing updates on bootloader-locked devices, even if the update is not approved by Huawei for your device.
2. Rebranding bootloader-locked devices, or rebranding to obscure carrier brandings.
3. Restoring bricked devices.
Note that even though the Mate 10 Root tool is designed for the Mate 10, it works perfectly on the P10 Plus running Android O betas.
This tool is FREE, and might be easier than installing TWRP and rooting that way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!
I thought "official" FunkyHuawei threads violated XDa's terms an conditions due it being a paid service?
VKY-L29C432B177 coming. Changes are addition of VoLTE and VoWifi (carrier dependent).
Will be available on FunkyHuawei shortly.
UPDATE: Available now.
P10 plus stuck on fastboot. Black screen, no led.
Follow the rebranding manual result in brand new p10+ hard bricked.
Now the pone is completly dead black screen, no led when plugs the usb, no vibration. I had lost all hope until after it stayed connected for a long time to the pc I realized that windows was detecting somthing.
adb doesn't detect the device but fastboot detecs it.
I have tried to reboot in bootloader or flashing recovery without success. The commads apparently work and end with ok but after a reset the phone only load in fastboot mode without any other life signals. Bootloader is unlocked.
is there any solution to fix this?

Based on the email we received from you, it looks like you didn't use our service to rebrand.
Still, we can help you unbrick it if you have this situation, as long as you can access fastboot.

Thanks to this tool I could revive my P10+
It works like a charm
Thank you!
will i be able receive and install ota updates if i root my device and have twrp installed
I backed up my device using TWRP, I excluded the data partition since it is not working in TWRP. After I restored my device my bootanimation changed from Huawei animation to an "android" logo and when the device booted, I tried to open settings and the app instantly closes and same with the camera app. The camera app shows the name com.huawei.camera instead of saying "Camera" and all other apps started crashing. So, I wiped everything except my internal storage and restored my backup and now when I boot the device everything is black and I can only see the navigation keys and when I hold my power button I can see the restart and power off option. After like 2-3 minutes I get this message "You have run out of storage space" and when I press ok it takes me to a screen which shows 64/64 GB used. I have 0 space left on device

You can probably recover by using FHUnbrickFlashTool. If you contact FunkyHuawei support we can ask you for some more information to confirm exactly what the problem is.
Good work. I'll be more impressed when we finally work out a systemless root, i've lost count of the many OTA updates from Huawei - meaning their OS must be full of bugs and glitches for commonly used apps and typical use. Will we ever get there?

Mediapad M3 Lite 8 - Bootloader Unlock Guide

Brand new here, looking to unlock, root and then flash a standard Android build or custom DeGoogled ROM for my new device. I was looking to find a way to unlock the bootloader to start and found that Huawei have stopped giving out unlock codes and that the info around unlocking wasn't great so I made a note of all my steps as below.
Please let me know if this works for you and if you have any issues, please also read and follow the guidelines carefully as there are lots of things like using all the applications as an administator and changing directories that are important.
I am also looking for a way to install TWRP or another recovery thing on this device so I don't brick it, as I want to root the tablet and muck around with it. Has anyone got any experience of doing this successfully and does anyone have links to methods to create a cloned backup of the standard OS?
This was done on a brand new Mediapad M3 Lite 8 (the Wifi version, not LTE) with Android 7.0, EMUI 5.1, CPN-W09, build CPN-W09C100B251 - BUT will probably work on the LTE version, the non-lite version and the 7 and 10 inch models.
IMPORTANT: This costs money and is done through the DC Unlocker tool, it costs 4 credits (4 euros/dollars) for the Mediapad M3 Lite 8 (Wifi, not LTE) as Huawei now do not offer the bootloader code AT ALL . I have copied/streamlined the steps below that were found as guides originally at the dc unlocker website, check their site guides to find originals.
Step 1 - Developer Options enable
Go to settings, about tablet, tap build number 7 times to unlock developer options
Go to developer options, enable OEM unlock, enable USB debugging
Step 2 - Enable manufacture mode
If your phone has a dialpad, enter dial pad code *#*#2846579#*#*
IF your phone doesn't have a dialpad, go to calculator and enter ()()2846579()()=
This willl take you to a developer menu, select "Project Menu", "Background settings", "USB ports settings", "Manufacture mode".
Step 3 - Install drivers
Connect your Android device to your PC with a usb cable and either install Hisuite from the connected drive that will attach, or download it from the Huawei website by searching for Huawei Hisuite and going to their official website.
To check this has worked, go to Device Manager on your PC and look for Modems - there should be an entry called Android Adapter Modem - if this is not present try disconnecting/reconnecting your device and restarting Hisuite.
Step 4 - Read bootloader code
Download the latest DC Unlocker tool from dc-unlocker dot com and extract it, then AS AN ADMINISTRATOR (right click and Run as Administrator) run the client.exe (was called dc-unlockerclient2.exe)
Click Select Manufacturer dropdown and change to Huawei Phones, not Modems, press the magnifier/search icon at bottom left and your phone info should be found. This should also
Step 5 - Buy credits from the dc unlocker site as a new user, try 4 credits first and then login with these new user details in the dc unlocker application on your PC, this will show your credits and the phone connected as well as the cost. Click the Unlocking icon on the top right and click Read botloader code to get your code. Make a note of this/copy it somewhere.
Step 6 - Go back to the folder that dc unlocker is in
Go into the unzipped folder and then copy the location of this folder by clicking on the address bar in File Explorer and copying this location, you'll have something similar to
C:\Users\ExampleUser\Downloads\dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1403
Step 7 - Turn off your phone and turn it back on holding the Vol down and Power buttons to enter fastboot mode, connect your device to your PC
Step 8 - Open cmd by searching for cmd in windows, right click cmd and open it as administrator, you'll get the black and white windows terminal
In the terminal type "cd C:\Users\ExampleUser\Downloads\dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1403" (or the path for the latest version of the dc unlocker you have downloaded) without the quotation marks and with YOUR directory path as described above. The command cd just changes directory to the one you give. Your terminal should now show the above directory as the path in which it now sends commands, i.e the > mark is now displayed after the directory path we copied
Step 9 - Type "adb devices" without quotation marks to start the adb daemon
Step 10 - Type "fastboot devices" without quotation marks and you should see a device number with the word fastboot next to it.
Step 11 - Now type "fastboot oem unlock" without the quotation marks, followed by a space and then your bootloader unlock code i.e
fastboot oem unlock XYZ123456789
Step 12 - Your device should show a screen asking you to accept the unlock, then onto another screen where you should press the power key to continue onto booting your factory reset unlocked device.
Step 13 - You might have to disconnect the USB cable and reboot your device now, and you'll set up the device from scratch again - but now the bootloader unlocked, allowing you to load stuff like TWRP if you can find the right version - which I can't right now! :good:
I have also now been able to install TWRP by using the TWRP image specifically for BAH-W09 found on page 17 of the "TWRP (greatslon mod)" in the link provided by pitapart
thread. I can't post links yet which is why I'm typing to source....
I have been trying to flash SuperSU using the latest 2.82 zip but keep getting the error "Extracting Ramdisk - Failure, aborting", which is the same error I'm getting when trying to root using SRKtool, both the 2.1 universal version and the 2.0 Huawei version, using option 1 for Mate P8 or option 6 for systemless.
I've downloaded a system root version of SuperSU (google "supersu system mode", first XDA thread) and flashed using TWRP, it says it has installed but the SuperSU app doesn't show root, and typing "su" in TWRP console doesn't show I can do commands in superuser mode. Can anyone help?
I recently have been purchased the LTE version of this device. Although I cannot try this out currently, I probably will in the future so please keep us updated about your experiments for reference!

Hi,
Were you ever able to get your Mediapad M3 Lite 8 rooted? I really like this tablet but, need the 5 Ghz wifi band which requires root from everything I have read.
Thanks

I have my Mediapad M3 Lite rooted by magisk.
I followed the unlock guide and unlocked the bootloader.
I couldn't find my exact firmware I downloaded the most recent one I could find.
I extracted the boot.img with Huawei Update extractor and copied it to my phone.
I download and installed latest magisk app.
I opened the magic app-> install -> install -> patch the boot image file which I then flashed through fastboot.
I then opened magisk -> install -> Direct install.
Everything works but like me you take a risk in not using the exact boot.img.
I tried and installed TWRP which worked but the volume keys would let me run the script I was trying to rebrand the phone. In the end it isn't necessary to root the phone.

Very bad idea and advice:
- people often uses wrong firmware or wrong version;
- a boot from a different version can be incompatible, you can be sure only too late!
The right thing is to boot to TWRP then in the console, using "dd" command do a copy of original boot!

Very poor reply, you did not read my post properly, just jumped in to demonstrate your superciliousness. No advice was given and you missed the word risk. More productive use of replying would have been to include the actual command required anyway which is:
dd if=/dev/block/boot-device/by-name/boot of=boot.img
Helping wasn't the point your trying to make.

A post like your IS an advice because people read and follow it. What is wrong is not that you write or my opinion but people behaviour
I read the "risk" word but a lot of people would not. This is also the reason I don't wrote the dd command: search and learn! Most of the messages you read here are of people who have broken their own terminal because just followed a post like your, without knowing what are doing.

I see in your first screenshot the fingerprint-id menuentry is gone.... does your fingerprint-sensor working properly ?
I rooted my mediapad m3 lite 10 in the same way, but my boot-image is the right version. ( installed is BAH-W09C100B257, firmware downloaded with the huawei firmware finder app is exactly BAH-W09C100B257) . My fingerprint menuentry is gone too.....and the sensor doesnt work (with the working registered fingerprint before the rooting)

I did not have the fingerprint option activated so I checked it and found my sensor also does not work with the patched boot.img on. I could search and find the fingerprint menu entry but could not get it to operate. Reflashing the stock boot.img returned the sensor menu and fingerprint to normal but of course you lose root. More searching for solutions required.
Also I'm using the TWRP-3.2.1-bah-20180627.img recovery. The volume keys don't work so the hurupdater script I'd like to use aborts. Anyone got any other recovery for a CPN-W09C128B006?.

This was done on a brand new Mediapad M3 Lite 8 (the Wifi version, not LTE) with Android 7.0, EMUI 5.1, CPN-W09, build CPN-W09C100B251 - BUT will probably work on the LTE version, the non-lite version and the 7 and 10 inch models.
IMPORTANT: This costs money and is done through the DC Unlocker tool, it costs 4 credits (4 euros/dollars) for the Mediapad M3 Lite 8 (Wifi, not LTE) as Huawei now do not offer the bootloader code AT ALL . I have copied/streamlined the steps below that were found as guides originally at the dc unlocker website, check their site guides to find originals.
Step 1 - Developer Options enable
Go to settings, about tablet, tap build number 7 times to unlock developer options
Go to developer options, enable OEM unlock, enable USB debugging
Step 2 - Enable manufacture mode
If your phone has a dialpad, enter dial pad code *#*#2846579#*#*
IF your phone doesn't have a dialpad, go to calculator and enter ()()2846579()()=
This willl take you to a developer menu, select "Project Menu", "Background settings", "USB ports settings", "Manufacture mode".
Step 3 - Install drivers
Connect your Android device to your PC with a usb cable and either install Hisuite from the connected drive that will attach, or download it from the Huawei website by searching for Huawei Hisuite and going to their official website.
To check this has worked, go to Device Manager on your PC and look for Modems - there should be an entry called Android Adapter Modem - if this is not present try disconnecting/reconnecting your device and restarting Hisuite.
Step 4 - Read bootloader code
Download the latest DC Unlocker tool from dc-unlocker dot com and extract it, then AS AN ADMINISTRATOR (right click and Run as Administrator) run the client.exe (was called dc-unlockerclient2.exe)
Click Select Manufacturer dropdown and change to Huawei Phones, not Modems, press the magnifier/search icon at bottom left and your phone info should be found. This should also
Step 5 - Buy credits from the dc unlocker site as a new user, try 4 credits first and then login with these new user details in the dc unlocker application on your PC, this will show your credits and the phone connected as well as the cost. Click the Unlocking icon on the top right and click Read botloader code to get your code. Make a note of this/copy it somewhere.
Step 6 - Go back to the folder that dc unlocker is in
Go into the unzipped folder and then copy the location of this folder by clicking on the address bar in File Explorer and copying this location, you'll have something similar to
C:\Users\ExampleUser\Downloads\dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1403
Step 7 - Turn off your phone and turn it back on holding the Vol down and Power buttons to enter fastboot mode, connect your device to your PC
Step 8 - Open cmd by searching for cmd in windows, right click cmd and open it as administrator, you'll get the black and white windows terminal
In the terminal type "cd C:\Users\ExampleUser\Downloads\dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1403" (or the path for the latest version of the dc unlocker you have downloaded) without the quotation marks and with YOUR directory path as described above. The command cd just changes directory to the one you give. Your terminal should now show the above directory as the path in which it now sends commands, i.e the > mark is now displayed after the directory path we copied
Step 9 - Type "adb devices" without quotation marks to start the adb daemon
Step 10 - Type "fastboot devices" without quotation marks and you should see a device number with the word fastboot next to it.
Step 11 - Now type "fastboot oem unlock" without the quotation marks, followed by a space and then your bootloader unlock code i.e
fastboot oem unlock XYZ123456789
Step 12 - Your device should show a screen asking you to accept the unlock, then onto another screen where you should press the power key to continue onto booting your factory reset unlocked device.
Step 13 - You might have to disconnect the USB cable and reboot your device now, and you'll set up the device from scratch again - but now the bootloader unlocked, allowing you to load stuff like TWRP if you can find the right version - which I can't right now! :good:

Did you ever get and answer to your question about cloning or getting the original factory images. I've been trying on and off for 9months. I have unlocked the bootloader and backed up using TWRP (from the 10inch model), but when I relocked the bootloader everything fell apart... unstable boot loops, etc. not sure if I had to wipe recovery I burned with TWRP or what. Also TWRP does not back-up the data partition I think due to encryption (from other posts I read). My goal was to rebrand a pile of the Chinese version tablets I have to US because we use them in our product, and the US are not available, so rebranding would give me more time before to find a replacement. Any clues would help!!!

I did not have the fingerprint option activated so I checked it and found my sensor also does not work with the patched boot.img on. I could search and find the fingerprint menu entry but could not get it to operate. Reflashing the stock boot.img returned the sensor menu and fingerprint to normal but of course you lose root. More searching for solutions required.
Also I'm using the TWRP-3.2.1-bah-20180627.img recovery. The volume keys don't work so the hurupdater script I'd like to use aborts. Anyone got any other recovery for a CPN-W09C128B006?.

Hi
im a new member but have been using the site for ages.
my mediapad m3 is also wifi only and im trying to get the code for the bootloader to be unlocked except for the fact that my calculator app isn't scientific enough (lol) to include brackets.
what do I do to get the code or update my calc app?

You have to use the calculator in landscape mode (turn on auto-rotate) and then the bracket buttons will appear.
So I finally got around to installing this on my stock version. I found 16GB was too limiting and I was hoping to use the SD card to expand the space so I could use it for a few more years. I purchased the code from DC_unlocker.
A couple of things I noticed while following the guide. To enter fastboot mode, holding down the volume down and power button doesn't seem to work. What you to do is while it's off, hold down the volume down button and plug in the microusb cable, while continuing to hold it down. You could also enter fastboot using an ADB command.
Also I couldn't wipe anything before installing the new roms, I got error messages. I'm not sure what that means. Anyways after installing android 9, it seemed to take a very long time to first boot. The graphic animation is going, but I wasn't sure if it was working so I hard reset once, tried to boot again and then waited again, hard reset again and put it down thinking I would have to look into the error messages and when I came back it was up and running.
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
A few days ago, I followed the instructions unlocking the bootloader of my Mediapad M3 lite 8 (CPN-W09) and sure enough, I successfully unlocked the bootloader. However I've now run into another problem - I cannot get the FRP on the tablet to be unlocked!
Nothing I've tried seems to get it to unlock. The (only) Google account used on the tablet has been my own, and it's been no problem signing back into my account when factory resetting the tablet. One time when investigating it, after a factory reset it did say that it was "restricted" but again, adding my Google account details on the setup was no issue, but even after then deleting the account (which, if I'm right, should set FRP to "unlocked") when I enter into fastboot mode it still shows FRP as locked! And it shows it no matter what I do, wherever the Google account is "active" on the tablet or not, and the last four or five times I've did a factory reset with both data and cache partition wipes done and nothing budges. I think I'm at a lost cause here - the "OEM Unlock" option in the developer settings is totally greyed out. ?
Of course, the tablet is still "usable" but there is no way to carry out special functions after unlocking the bootloader, like rooting, install TWRP, custom ROM etc. and it just kinds of stands in a limbo.
I've tried searching here on XDA and the web in general, high and low, to see if this problem has affected anyone else, and strangely it doesn't seem to happen to anyone else!
For the record, I've also tried hardreset.info's FRP unlock tool which claimed to be successful, but it clearly wasn't!
I hope someone out there might have a solution to my woe - as I think I've partially crippled by M3 Lite 8 otherwise by trying to unlock the bootloader.

You could try to lock bootloader back, and before to unlock bootloader again, first just unlock OEM .

I did try this at the time, and I couldn't get it to work. But I had another try at it yesterday and I managed to get the bootloader locked again, toggle OEM unlock to "off" and unlocked the bootloader once more and it worked!
So after doing this, I tried to get TWRP 3.3.1-1 flashed but it would stay frozen on the screen - I then read that I needed to install TWRP 3.2.0-0 first, install the August 2019 Lineage 16 firmware, then go back to the bootloader, flash TWRP 3.3.1-0, check everything was OK and then return to bootloader to finally flash TWRP 3.3.1-1. Success! I then flashed the latest Lineage OS 17.1 firmware along with Open Gapps (ARM64, Android 10, nano) and so far everything has worked OK. I just need to download all my apps again, but I'm sure it will give my CPN-W09 a new lease of life!
I used to do some rooting previously with Android handsets in the past, but the last time was two years ago (rooting & upgrading an Alcatel handset to Android 6.0) and FRP was new to me, throwing me off.
I've donated some Euros to you as an appreciation for your work & advice. Merci beaucoup!

Moto G5s baseband not found (unknown) 😢 IMEI 0 please help

I need help too. So, I own a Moto G5s plus sanders. I unlocked its bootloader the day I got it. Didn't keep any backup and rooted it. I Also installed dot os based on android 11. But my 4G Volte connection was finicky. So, I decided to use a Volte zip patch. But, anyways I flashed the zip via TWRP and tried to reboot. But the phone didn't turn on after that. After a few minutes to my shock I understood that I hardbricked my mobile. No button combos, nothing worked. Anyways in my desperation I found a YouTube video showing the use of blankflash to revive a phone and lo and behold I used the procedure to again restore my device. It booted to the fastboot interface. But my happiness was short lived. My baseband was unknown at this point and the bootloader was I dunno downgraded to 0.5 inplace of 2.12. But, more importantly the unlock status was lost. I unlocked it again and all went well. I could even flashed TWRP. but then I realised I couldn't upgrade my bootloader. I couldn’t do anything. It's always gives a "security downgrade", "preflash validation failed" and "permission denied" error. I even tried RSA official rescue tool from Lenovo but even it was unsuccessful. It was never unsuccessful before that. Not even with a unlocked bootloader. I researched for days and tried custom ROMs. I flashed stock images. Nothing brought back my baseband and IMEI. When I type "fastboot oem unlock critical" it gives me permission denied error with a message. "Need OEM signed bootloader." I think the blankflash bootloader is the root of all evil. I need to change it and therefore I need to enter the edl mode. I have tried all adb commands and fastboot commands. The phone reboots okay after those commands but never goes into edl mode whatsoever. I am also ready to do a controlled hardbrick of my device to go into the edl mode so that I can use my device again with a proper bootloader and a properly working fastboot. Please help
i think this vid will help
Greetings everyone. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum. Please move this in appropriate forum if I made a mistake. Believe me, for the last 7 days I have searched all of xda and internet, followed innumerable guides, FAQs and workarounds and none worked. So, as a last resort I am starting this thread
Device: Motorola Moto G5s Plus XT1804 ......4GB _64GB variant
Problem: 1) Baseband not found (unknown) Original Baseband: M8953_52.61.07.98R SANDERS_INDIADSDS_CUST
2) IMEI 0 (Sim cards are not detected).
I bought this refurbished phone about an week ago after my last LG went kaput. I was happy by the build quality of the phone. But it only ran Android 8.1 Oreo. So, I decided to put a custom ROM in it. I am not exactly a newbie to the world of CyanogenMods, Lineage OSes and Pixel Experiences. Or, so I thought. Anyways, after a lot of searching I finally decided on Dot OS 5.2 Official Android 11 version. The ROM looked very pleasing and the reviews looked positive. So, I got the unlock key from Motorola website, unlocked the bootloader, put in official TWRP recovery in it. Everything went like a breeze and in all that excitement I forgot to take a backup of the persist, efs and other partitions. A very costly mistake it seems. DotOS booted fine and looked really fresh till I found that there is a small cross near the SIM card network signal triangle up righthand side corner and the signal is only LTE and not VOLTE. I was using a Vodafone Sim card at the time. Although VOLTE option was enabled in SIM settings. To confirm my doubts regarding VOLTE I switched to a JIO Simcard and alas I was not able to make a call without redirecting through the horrid JIO calling app. VOLTE was indeed not working. So, I looked up for a fix and I found a Volte ZIP file from here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...0QFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0YgJvCjQWXXV8WQSJkxBOK . This was the starting of my troubles. I flashed the universal VOLTE fix zip from TWRP and it flashed fine. On rebooting, I found to my shock that my phone was not turning on. I pressed and held the power key and there was no sign of life. I couldn’t go to the fastboot bootloader or recovery. Only the white led blinked at the top when connected to the charger. My phone was apparently hard bricked. I searched frantically for a solution in this forum and YouTube wherein I found that one can bring it back to life by doing a blankflash. Found the blankflash file here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...wQFnoECAsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1eVdBWGVFr8aiqLdP-ZkeT followed the instructions and it flashed my bricked device back to fastboot. I was relieved for a moment but the next I found that the Bootloader version has downgraded from BL C2 07 to BL C0 05. I knew something was wrong as bootloader downgrade shouldn't be possible. Also the unlock and rooted status were also lost and the baseband was unknown at this point. Anyways the device was recognised as a fastboot device and I tried to flash the stock ROM latest version using the fastboot. But, only then I realised there was something wrong with the bootloader. It gave errors like security downgrade, permission denied, preflash validation failed, remote command failed. At this point I was truly confused and worried. Why would it think the latest bootloader to be a security downgrade to a supposedly old bootloader and prevent me from flashing it. However it did flash the other files like gpt.bin for partition, oem.img, boot.img, system.img sparsechunks and everything else. I booted back to Android 8.1 Oreo and everything seemed working except my IMEI now read zero and my Simcard was not recognised by the device. After that I again unlocked my bootloader. Somehow the original unlock key worked and the bootloader screen said flashing unlocked but the bootloader didn't behave like an unlocked bootloader. The TWRP installed fine but couldn’t install the latest Pixel Experience. The flash screen said PE 11 was for Sanders and my device is (blank no name). I tried both the normal and plus and both behaved similarly. Lineage OS unofficial builds behaved similarly. I again tried Dot OS and Arrow OS and both installed fine except there was no signal. For a moment I tried to forget about the bootloader but concentrated on recovering my IMEI and Baseband but I couldn’t. For nearly 5 days I tried different guides including a detailed guide using Validus Sanders ROM but none worked. My EFS folder has files around 12 megabytes but my Persist seems deleted at zero bytes. The IMEI keeps changing between null, zero and unknown depending on the 20 something ROMs I tasted on this device. At this point, I am at a loss. This was to be my main phone and I am financially crunched. I can't buy another phone right now. I think that blankflash bootloader is corrupted and it is giving me permission denied errors. Even Magisk won't work properly. I even tried using the official rescue and smart assistant tool by Lenovo and it failed at 47 percent. I tried in different computers and Win7 to Win 11 OSes but it was of no use. I also tried getting a QCN file but I couldn’t get one for the device to recover the IMEI. Please suggest something if anyone of you can save this poor device of mine. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply but my phone is soft bricked now. It was hardbricked and I uses a faulty blankflash bootloader to bring it back to life. My device is softbricked now. I have lost my baseband and I have no IMEI. I cannot take calls and no mobile data. Can you show me a way to go to edl mode in my device. Thanks again.

			
				
can your phone turn on if yes can you root it with magisk
if yes then pls tell me i will tell you
I can do everything except calling and mobile data. Yes, I have rooted with Magisk and have root access. But my baseband is unknown and my IMEI is showing zero. I can't call or access mobile data. Although I can use wifi
I have tried what is shown in this video already. Didn't work
I think the blank flash bootloader was corrupt or of a different region.
so go to magisk manager and on top-right corner you will see setting click the button right next to it and click on reboot to edl
I didn't even knew that. Trying asap. Will update
Doesn’t work. Reboots back to system.
Updated Magisk to latest and tried both edl and download mode like you said brother. Everytime boots back to system. Am I missing something. The phone was not connected to the PC at the time
I am on stock Oreo now. Rooted and twrp installed
An interesting observation while installing Xposed, it gave an error that the device is not rooted properly
I have an untouched dump file for my model. The whole thing. Could you please guide me how I can restore my smartphone from that.
can you flash it through adb sideload fastboot twrp etc
I don't know but I sold the device. I bought a new one. Thanks @Raggaov for the help.
you're welcome

Australian Optus Realme c3 can't unlock bootloader [SOLVED] r

Hi I have an Australian Optus Realme c3, I've tried unlocking the bootloader using the official method but keep getting an error message saying that the device is carrier modified.
Is there a way to flash worldwide firmware?
Bootloader unlocked with MTKClient
Hi Mick,
How did you pull this off? Could you please give us a guide or something? When I tried to unlock the bootloader with MTKClient, then 'adb reboot loootloader' it would then throw 'fastboot_verify_unlock fail' and wouldn't even get to fastboot.
I need to unlock another Optus Realme C3 I had in the cupboard but Optus no longer has the Live Chat they used to and the Messaging service through the My Optus app is bad to say the least. Then of course using the method they suggest on the Optus website, they will try to charge you to unlock, no matter what.
Very frustrated since it was so easy the first time when I contacted Optus on Live Chat, said I was a customer of one of their MNVOs and the phone unlocked in under 5 minutes....
I just followed the instructions on the github page, only took like half an hour, did you push the empty vbmeta, pretty sure that's your issue

Judging by that description, I assume you're unlocking bootloader and rooting? I don't know what you did differently but I'm still getting 'fastboot_verify_unlock fail' when trying to 'adb reboot bootloader'

You on telegram or something? Hard to help with troubleshooting in a forum, the command should be "adb reboot fastboot" I got it to work 1st try. And no I haven't rooted, ****s with my banking and pogo, lolz
Hang on... Are you trying to sim unlock?
What kind of computer you trying to do this on? I did it on a chromebook running holoiso (SteamOS)
If you give me as many details as possible about the phone (firmware, android version) and the computer (os, software installed) I can help you more
I literally had this phone for 72 hours before I figured this out, contacted realme AU and they said that it shouldn't be possible and offered to send me a new handset to do it again for there engineers, lolz
Mine has been running Android 13 for the last couple of weeks and working sweet
I don't want to sound condescending, but I've been playing with android devices for many years, I have no problem helping, but I'm in the middle of moving house and don't have my desktop or laptop until probably Thursday, can try walking you through it in chat, but will remote in and do it when I have my pc back

So I'm guessing you got a boot.img from the TG group and flashed the vbmeta.img.empty? Yeah, Realme In-Depth Test still shows the phone as carrier customised but recovery flashes from 'adb reboot fastboot' and subsequently ROM flashes in recovery. Not entirely sure how that circumvents the carrier lock but I'll take the win and move on Cheers

No you pull the boot image from the phone and the vbmeta, reread the instructions
python mtk r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
Empty vbmeta from here
(update) unofficial twrp 3.5.0 for Realme C3 - unofficial twrp
Download unofficial twrp 3.5.0 root Realme C3, user who own Realme C3 can root it by following the below Instructions
unofficialtwrp.com
MTKClient unlocks at hardware level independent of software, let's face it optus rom is identical to standard apart from one app, lolz
MTK is the soc that runs the phone
