I decided to root my Realme X2 PRO with Magisk. I unlocked the bootloader, and at that time the fingerprint sensor still worked, but since I have flash magisk, it is no longer usable, is it normal?
Thank You
now I removed the root and it doesn't work anymore ... Version RMX1931EX_11_C.26

It doesn't work cuz you have unlocked bootloader.
on first page there are so many threads with bricked phones so you have to be really brave to try lock it.

Hi guys,
I am having trouble restarting stock c6616 into recover mode?
Read so many articles, watched several videos on YT, but i cannot get it working.
Most of instruction will say TurnOff phone, turno on, wait for led and keep pressing volume up, problem is LED is not lit at all on my phone.
I also tried to reboot to recover via ADB , phone will just restart.
Any ideas?

You need to have a custom recovery installed to access that feature.... Do you have one installed?

Thanks for answer Jimmy
Tried to install dual recover for locked bootloader too,.. same thing, flashed successfully (at least it was saying that) and cant do nothing.
This is my 5th Android phone, and it is biggest pain to unlock/root/flash so far.

Ok ok,.. looks like i got it working, i re-flashed that Dual Recovery and i was able to start TWRP now.
Another question if you dont mind, my bootloader is locked (as i know) can i still flash Custom roms?

No you can't. Custom roms like PA, OMNI, Cyanogenmod need a custom kernel. It is not possible to flash a custom kernel on a locked bootloader. You can still flash stock based roms though. If you search in the development section you will find some. They are marked with "LB"

LB, Locked boot-loader.
I also tried to unlock it, but im getting message that boot-loader cannot be officially unlocked. So i guess im out of luck unlocking it?

Correct.
You can check it in service menu if you bootloader is unlockable. Open dialer and enter *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to service info > configuratoin. If it shows "bootloader unlock allowed: no" you won't be able to unlock it
Checked that! , out of luck for me :/
Ok, trying to figure out LB Rom installation instruction.
I will give a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-v5-0-0-ultra-edition-10-4-t2349656
This one,.. i guess its most popular for xperia

Which locket dual recovery file did you use? I'm having a paint too trying to root my Xperi Z C6616 and have find little to no help. THanks in advance.
Anyone succeed with manually updating P10? I have tried with no sucess.
Old method is not working.
Thanks
No but did you made the dload folder with the update.app file and then booted into the stock recovery mode?
I woudnt know any other way since they removed that from update settings : |
I tried that, does not work.
You can't manual update the P10 or P10 Plus, since it requires an online check.
They removed the ability to manual update via dload methode.
The only way at this moment is to use FunkyHuawei!

What about Firmware finder? I've tried this as well but I only get download failed, even everything is done as it should.
Hey,
I am working into this direction and got some promising results already. I am testing two more things during the next days (so that I can be sure my Stuff won't break your phones) and hope I can share my findings with you early next week.

Good to hear that. :good:
So, it is not possible to update, even the firmware matches your corrent model/brand?
I finally found the FW for VTR-L09C109, but when using dload method I get "Installation failed".
No, it is not possible. Huawei did something with emui 5.1.

Wrong you can now debrand for free and offline check this out https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108 can confirm it works
Does bootloader needs to be unlocked and twrp installed?

It is not good since you loose warranty with bootloader unlocked.

Not always correct. It depends on the local country laws you live in.
And also if you follow the instructions you end with LOCKED Bootloader so no warranty lost

Is it same with P10 as it was with P9, tha it say relocked instead locked bootloader, when you lock it again?
nope : Phone LOCKED
FRP unlocked so they cant see the difference they can only find out if they check if you got the bootloader unlock code.but you also could request the code and dont use it.
Any progress here? The update has been out for months in other regions but I still haven't got anything here in Sweden :/
Hi everyone
Question for professionals and experienced people I hope to get a reliable answer on this matter
1- What do I lose when opening a bootloader other than air update and payment and warranty service?
2- Is it possible to return to the official status and receive air updates?
Thanks everyone in advance
Can't say for sure but you should still get OTA; if not you'll get full ROM zips delivered via OTA instead of the smaller chunk/patch updates.
The main thing is banking apps and Google Pay. Widevine should be OK. On mine it's L1 so still A-OK for Netflix/etc.
OTA updates work also if bootloader is unlocked. Idem for payement and warranty service...
If you root the phone it isn"t the same story.
Mine is rooted and OTA updates work. I download the update BUT I unroot the phone before installing it.
It"s possible to relock the bootloader but no need to do that...
PS: Unlocking bootloader resets the phone (Back up what you need before).
Unlock bootloader means no more hd on netflix n stuff.
Widevine stay L1 but netflix will failed to load unless you delete smthing n widevine drop to l3

Read carefully the forum! It seems people had problems by flashing a wrong global rom. I can't help you more because I've got MI9T Pro and didn't read a lot about that.

You sure you used the right one? You can get it in the Sprint g8 bl unlock thread, or the other one for models with kdzs by me (forgot title)
Only tried the one from bootloader unlock thread for ones with kdzs. And thanks for that one btw. Lol

i have to say that i didnt tried to lock my bootloader by myself.. it locked automatically
UPDATE : When i hardbricked my phone ..and i fixed it it said Lancelot.. now on xiaomi mi tool it says galahad.. help ?
Magisk hides your bootloader status, so if you see the unlocked padlock on the boot screen then the bootloader is unlocked.
