Question Help installing LineageOS on Pixel 5a5g (Can't unlock) - Google Pixel 5a

Hey all, new poster but long time user of the site, just never needed an account until today lol. Anyways, just got a Pixel 5a5G that I am trying to install LineageOS on. I am following the instructions from here, and once I get to the point of flashing the vendor_boot partition, I receive this:
Code:
PS C:\Windows\system32> fastboot flash vendor_boot C:\Users\bobby\Downloads\vendor_boot.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'vendor_bootb' (98304 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.225s]
writing 'vendor_bootb'...
FAILED (remote: Not allowed to flash (vendor_bootb))
finished. total time: 2.307s
When running fastboost unlock bootloader, I receive this:
Code:
PS C:\Windows\system32> fastboot flashing unlock
...
(bootloader) Device already unlocked
OKAY [ 0.055s]
finished. total time: 0.056s
I have reflashed the stock firmware with the Android Flashing Tool to 13.0.0, both keeping the bootloader locked and unlocked. I have tried unlocking and relocking the bootloader. I used the utility's "full-flash" feature to flash both partitions, all to no avail. Research on here seems to point that the bootloader is locked, but fastboot says it isn't, settings is greyed out saying the bootloader is already unlocked, and fastboot mode on the phone says Device state: unlocked.
Any ideas?

Did you remove your screenlock and Google account before flashing?

Yes. I've flashed from a factory install with no passcode or account ever set. Same issue

From the output it's trying to write vendor_bootb??? Some combination of this should fix it:
-Make sure to use platform tools r33.0.3, the latest r34 has at least one known problem with fastboot and I don't trust it
-If you're using powershell you have to run the command as .\fastboot flash you can only run fastboot flash if you are in cmd
-Make sure both slots are on latest February firmware (probably not really necessary but a last ditch effort)

[Q] Help? Softbrick, stuck in AP Fastboot: Security Version Downgraded / Boot Failure

Hey guys, I did something really stupid.
I acquired an Atrix HD through a third party, network/sim unlocked it to work on T-Mobile, and tried to flash 4.1.2 Mexican Retail (MB886_niimx-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-50_MB886_NII_TA-2-16-release-keys-NII-MX) through RSD Lite 6.1.5 after removing the getvar command and.. it failed half way. I forgot to unlock the bootloader before flashing.
Now I'm stuck and I've tried almost everything to fix it. I've searched Google and XDA, in the process I have downloaded Myth Tools, sirhoover_atrixhd_utility, motochopper, motopocalypse, and moto-fastboot, tried them all to the best of my knowledge and nothing is working. I've even edited the XML file to exclude the files it fails on.
Common errors I encounter:
Fastboot reason: Boot failure
Fastboot reason: Flash failure
Partition (boot) Security Version Downgraded
Preflash Validation Failed for boot
Partition (system) Security Version Downgraded
PIV black validation for system failed
Invalid PIV image: system
Worst part is, I can't unlock my bootloader because I need ADB to do so! Recovery will give me ADB but only to sideload (available on certain recoveries I've managed to flash). If you have any ideas or information that could assist me in getting my phone back to normal, whether that's unlocking the bootloader through fastboot or flashing a stock rom sucessfully, I would greatly appreciate it! :good:
You don't need a unlocked bootloader to flash firmware through rsd.. Try flashing the stock att back.

Once your phone's OS has been upgraded, I don't think you can flash to an older firmware unless you have an unlocked bootloader. I'm not sure but that maybe the reason you're getting validation errors.
Did you try re-downloading the firmware?

No matter how hard I try, I cannot get boot.img or system.img to flash from any Stock firmware, whether it's AT&T, Mex, or Bell

I'm going to try making a Motorola Factory cable in the meantime. Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Factory cable didn't help.. is there a way to generate a higher security version? No matter what, the bootloader always displays Partition (boot/system) Security Version Downgraded
I really don't want this to end up being a paperweight
Is this where you got the firmware: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php ?
Did you reboot each time you loaded a different set of fastboot files? Did you remove the previous fastboot files before installing a new set of fastboot files? Are you able to try this on a different computer?
I just got a new Atrix HD replacement and its showing firmware of 9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20 . Its not the same as the firmware available here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ .... I get the same error even after modifying the XML file in the SBF. Wonder if the last update caused an issue. Running into some similar issue with the replacement. Its not wanting to bootloader unlock.
Did you mount the system before installing?

Try logging off and back on to see what happens. For me, using fastboot/adb commands on an x86 Win7 machine works more consistently than using an x64 Win7 machine.

Sorry for the late reply. make sure you have adb installed and the drivers for the Atrix. Also,if possible and not in a boot loop or stuck in fastboot, device debugging should be enabled.

Recovey change that goes worng

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand what did I do wrong.
I bought my device with an unlocked bootloader miui V8 (global rom).
I tried to flash TWRP recovey and MIUI PRO rom. I follow the steps that are mentioned here
and got soft brick - the device got stuck on the mi logo (with the unlock sign), even when I wait in patience the device just turned off.
- At the beginning I flashed the TWRP recovery by xuefer, boot into it and flashed the dm-verity disabler (as mentioned in the guide) and got error 1.
I reboot the device and it didn't boot.
- I boot to the recovery again and wipe the data - didn't boot.
Boot to recovery again and wipe to factory
-I flashed the MIUI PRO rom and the device still didn't boot.
I tired to flash the TWRP recovery by iscle - now the dm-verity disabler succeed but the device still didn't boot.
made the wiping steps as above again - and the device still got stuck at the mi logo.
At any step I manged to boot into the TWRP recovery and fastboot mode.
My lest option was to go back to the global stock rom using MiFlash
Now I'm on Global MIUI 9 with locked bootloadr
What did I do wrong?
I want to unlock the bootloader and to get back my control on my device.
Please advice
Thanks
Download the latest TWRP on this forum. Flash it. After, go to twrp, wipe data, cache, flash MIUI PRO rom, and after flash also flash the latest SuperSU zip. Then try again and see if it's gonna boot up.
how sure were you that the device had an unlocked bootloader when you purchased it? if it was brand new, certainly its bootloader is locked.
Do you have an open padlock when your phone is booting ?
Remember to boot to twrp just after flashing and before booting to the rom.
Thank you all for your answers!

I've checked the bootloader status in the Dev menu and with fastboot (fastboot oem device-info).
In addtion to all I had the open padlock sign when the turned on the device.

I had the open padlock sign.
Now unfortunately I flashed with MiFlash the global rom and my bootloader is locked.
I want to know the mistake I've done - so I don't fail with it again after I'll get the approval to open my bootloader.
Thanks
no mistake, they are three batches files in the rom zip. One of them is relocking the bootloader.
Flash_all with without erase data
Flash_all with wipe data
Flash_all with relock bootloader
I don't know miflash interface but you unfortunately choose the third choice. You need now to unlock your bootloader again (maybe by creating a new xiaomi account, not sure of this).

I'm sorry if you miss understood me, but I meant to the mistake I've made with the TWERP and rom flashing.
I can't figured out what I've did wrong.
Sorry if was not clear but the problem could be here :
Now unfortunately I flashed with MiFlash the global rom and my bootloader is locked.
II think you choose in Mi Flash tool an option to flash with re-lock the bootloader (don"t know how it's designed in the app because I flashed my phone manually, using one of the 3 batch files).
Hope it will help you.

Hi! As others have already told you,
What I would do is to completely format the phone with Mi Flash (download the latest global stable fastboot version from http://en.miui.com/a-234.html), then flash it to the phone using the Flash All option, then flash my recovery or the one from xuefer (the one you prefer, both work), if you are flashing miui pro I think there is no need to flash the dm-verity file, so just wipe system + data + cache and flash miuipro.zip
Thank you all for your replais !
I will try and update right after I'll get the bootloader unlock approval.
Meanwhile you all have a great day !

Request OEM unlock Huawei P10

Hi all,
I have an incorrect firmware installed for my P10 and lots of things are not working (oreo 8.0). I want to re-flash or rollback to other firmwares but problem is I can't get into TWRP anymore. flashing it doesn't work and although I see in fastboot Phone Unlocked and FRP unlock i have the idea it has to do with the OEM unlock not working properly. It's also not available in the developer options. What;s exactly the link to huawei's page where you can request your phone unlock ID ?
Thanks

First of all, I've tried to update from Nougat to Orea via Blackballs method in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/oreo-update-thread-l29c432-t3729907 with the firmware mentioned there
What is not working:
I've managed to do the first part (oreo install), but:
- SImcard has 'No service
- Can't flash TWRP
- Bootloader / phone locked in Fastboot
- I can't remember how I unlocked the P10 last year (I have a P10 L09-VTR, rebranded to L29-VTR and now 'working' on a VKY P10 plus rom)

[Stock ROM][Applied 1 October OTA Update]Trying to get TWRP custom recovery flashed

Hello. So, I got my Moto G5s Plus around the last week of October or beginning of November. It is a great device, but I learned about the camera flaws by Motorola and unlocked the bootloader to fix it by following this XDA thread here for camera fixing and the Chromatix mod. I learned that I could edit build.prop without flashing the TWRP recovery but using it temporarily following the guide here. build.prop edit would enable cam2api for third party cam apps. The Chromatix mod threads/posts were for the G5 Plus, which I didn't realize at the time and didn't backup original Chromatix files. However, That went successfully and I could still use my phone with better camera quality. Note that prior to doing this fix and before unlocking the bootloader (I believe) I had updated my device from Nougat to Oreo. My bootloader is indeed unlocked.
Now, when the 1 October OTA Update came I was hesitent because I had came across some rooting/custom rom/custom recovery/mod articles while learning about unlocking the bootloader. Yet and before reading more to get educated on this, I applied the update to my phone. I was hoping it wouldn't brick it or that it would fail if it didn't work. It failed (because of the modification on the stock ROM) at the last bit of the update and rebooted my phone. My phone worked and it let me know nothing was changed by the failed update. However, my phone since then has shown as if it is up-to-date in system updates.
So, basically I have been trying to flash TWRP for my Moto G5s Plus after that was done. I want to see about backing up my stock ROM (or the most important parts) possibly getting a good custom ROM installed (which I believe they have their own official Android security updates from Google?). However flashing TWRP hasn't worked. I get the following in PowerShell (cmd):
PS C:\Android SDK\platform-tools> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (10236 KB) OKAY [ 0.407s]
Writing 'recovery' (bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.172s]
Finished. Total time: 0.594s
Note that I renamed twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img to twrp.img as it was a suggestion I followed at the time. This I heard is normal, but when I go to Recovery Mode on my phone I see this:
Start Up Failed:
Repair message stuff
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
Fastboot Reason: UTAG *bootmode* configured as fastboot
~~~
Error: failed to load kernel!
~~~
I also tried to find the latest stock ROM to flash because I believe I read I may need to do that. I found SANDERS_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.65-36-3_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and tried to use "Apply update from ADB" from the stock Recovery (when it was working normally after powering off and not with kernel errors because of this). It failed.
I couldn't find the right answer(s). Thank you to anyone that can help me or others who have done the same!!
EDIT (11/19/2018):
So, last night I tried wiping my data in stock recovery and then I tried to do this again. It still didn't work. I also tried to apply the same stock zip as well as boot_magisk.img from this thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/stock-kernel-prerooted-8-1-0-t3863301.
PS C:\Android SDK\platform-tools> fastboot flash boot boot_magisk.img
Sending 'boot' (10702 KB) OKAY [ 0.391s]
Writing 'boot' (bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.141s]
Finished. Total time: 0.563s
It all still fails. However, now when I boot up my phone it goes straight to the bootloader instead of loading the OS right away. I can select START to start the phone normally from there.
I got all this resolved through XDA's Telegram group (& specific group for G5s Plus/sanders)! I have TWRP (Treble) and custom rom working after getting an official stock rom from them flashed using fastboot commands!
I don't know if I should or a mod can close/erase this thread now?

Thanks for the suggestion/tip. I will probably try that if I reflash twrp treble (or another version of twrp for Sanders) again. This has been resolved.

G7 plus bricked with relocked bootloader is there a way to fix?

I managed to brick a moto G7 plus to the point of not being able to recover from it (locked bootloader, no twrp, boots to fastboot)
I wanted to go back to 100% stock but failed badly.
My device is odd one. RETLA stream with XT1965-T hardware. Lenovo Rescue apparently don't work on these devices.
1) I flashed stock RETLA latest rom from Lolinet using a flash.bat I made
2) worked and booted fine.....twrp was still intact
3) I did factory reset when booted in.
4) To relock I flashed boot.img and sent lock command a few times
5) Bootloader is now locked but only boots to fastboot and get (YOUR DEVICE HAS LOADED A DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEM.
6) I cannot unlock with code because adb says says I need developer option etc.
To repeat: this is BOOTLOADER LOCKED, JUST BOOTS TO FASTBOOT and gives "your device loaded a different operating system) which is not the issue and I expected that.
Bankflash didn't do anything. I mostly get oermission denied with mostly flashing anythiine else.
Any suggestions on how to just get this thing at least bootable again to use?
Thanks.
I have the same problem, but I found a way to at least start the device.
I gave "fastboot boot file.img" with a boot.img patched via Magisk.
But then it stopped working, so I changed the boot.img file to LineageOS.

Thanks for replying to my post. I tried your patched boot.img but when I try to flash it I get " (bootloader) fllash permission denied "
renamed it to boot.img and then....
C:\adb>fastboot flash boot boot.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'boot' (21845 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.465s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) flash permission denied
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.479s
PROBLEM SOLVED. See my post.
