Hello, after two weeks with my OPT I've decided to sell it, I don't like it.
My OPT has Unlocked Bootloader, root and TWRP. I would like to know how can I restore it like it comes from factory (Locked bootloader, unroot and stock recovery)
Thanks everyone.
There are quite a few tutorials on this, i think there is one here also (sorry cant post links), otherwise there is on the official forum on Oneplus website. IF you need video tutorial search for TheUnlockr on YT they posted a tutorial yesterday. Best of luck.
Ok thank you. It's done.

Of course, after you have flashed stock OxygenOS in TWRP, you wipe data/cache and click reboot system. TWRP ask you to swipe to keep TWRP or you click on Not Disable. Just click on it and the stock recovery is back.
For the bootloader, start the phone on fastboot mode (VOL UP+POWER) and type "fastboot oem lock" in a terminal window.

Hi. Are you able to successfully relock your bootloader? Because I've read some people who relocked the bootloader just bricked the device.
Same situation, though in my case, Im returning the device. Does anybody know if I even have to relock the bootloader before I return it? Its unlocked and rooted with official twrp recovery.
From what I have read so far, relocking the bootloader will brick the device if one does not restore the stock recovery first. But am not 100% sure this is right. Also, I saw a few people posting the stock recovery, but its unclear what version of the device the recovery is for. If Im not mistaken, there are three versions of the hardware, Chinese, Europe (and India) and US. Is it okay to flash a stock recovery from a different region? If not, is there any other way to go back to stock recovery before bootloader relock?
UPDATE: Scratch that, I just had a chat with OnePlus Support and was told that when returning a device to seller, there is no need to unroot and relock the bootloader. If anything, trying to do so might brick the device and kill the warranty, but unlocked and rooted, warranty still applies, and its perfectly fine to return as is.

Hi all,
I'd been using my rooted Nexus 6P on stock ROM+kernel. Unfortunately, I locked the bootloader after installing TWRP and installing SuperSU. I know, it was a huge mistake but it happened.
Yesterday I wanted to unroot and factory reset the phone. I forgot that my bootloader was locked so I didn't flick that "enable oem unlocking" button. I tried "flash-all" directly on bootloader. Obviously it didn't work and after reboot it got stuck on Google screen. I waited for a while but nothing happened. I wiped system, vendor, cache... etc on TWRP upon a tutorial in this forum with the intention to flash stock ROM but again : my bootloader was locked.
Now, I can still use TWRP and push files through adb but cannot use any fastboot commands. I get this error:
Code:
FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)
I tried installing the whole "image-angler-mdb08l" on TWRP but I get this error:
Code:
Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Installing '/sdcard/image-angler-mdb08l.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
E:Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error flashing zip image-angler-mdb08l.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
Is there any way to flash stock ROM with TWRP or should I try flashing a custom ROM and hoping to boot so I can enable that troublesome OEM unlock switch?
Compared to similar situations in 6P forum, I have the advantage of working adb and TWRP but I don't know if they even make a difference. Thanks for sparing time to read and your help.
You cannot flash factory image with TWRP. Download any custom ROM, flash it with TWRP. Let it boot and enable unlock in Developer Options.

You restored my faith in saving this phone. Is there any custom ROM in particular that won't mess with the recovery partition? It seems that if I loose TWRP, I have nothing to hold on to.

I believe that CyanogenMod wouldn't corrupt TWRP recovery. I've flashed official CM on my Galaxy S4 so many times, and CM never replace TWRP with something else. ????

Your guide is amazing and helped a lot.
I had been using N5 with locked bootloader and never encountered any problem but when I switched to 6P I read some articles explaining how dangerous leaving the bootloader unlocked is, so I locked it. Obviously, it was a mistake. I'm glad I didn't have to RMA.

There is risk in involved in having an unlocked bootloader, but as long as you take care of your phone and don't let it fall into the wrong hands you'll be perfectly fine. To say it's dangerous would be a pretty big overstatement.
I'm in the same situation, need some help

So I flashed the 7.1.1 update and everything was fine. I then tried to root through TWRP with the most recent version of recovery and and SuperSu and when I went to reboot it would get to the "Google" splash screen and go back to the warning. I then tried to restore to my Nandroid that I made right before the 7.1.1 flash but it does the same thing. I ended up doing a factory reset, still looping. I tried flashing an old firmware but it still would loop. I got desperate and did a full wipe and then flashed the old firmware from September's update but it still will not boot. I'm a long time lurker I just don't post much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried installing custom ROM, instead of a stock one?
And tell us what @ArminasAnarion asked for. There may be a pattern here. :good:
I haven't tried a custom ROM. I'll try that if I get any down time at work. Also, I'll check for you @ArminasAnarion in a bit.
Might be a noob question, but how do I get the custom rom files over to my phone to flash in recovery?

Well if you cant access twrp then your not flashing anything; did you try downloading the latest Nexus 6p factory image and using adb to flash it?? If you need help with that I can lay it out for you. Also there was an efs partition issue with twrp 3.0.2-1 and down so make sure your twrp is 3.0.2-2!

Make sure your using twrp 3.0.2-2; and download the latest factory image for the Nexus 6p (NBD90X) and use adb (fastboot) to flash that whole thing. Extract the files to your android sdk platform tools folder then run the flash-all.bat file. (If you are using a 64gb or 128gb device DONT DO THIS) Only do this with the 32gb model. If its a 64 or 128 model go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928 and go to sub section 10. How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock) (On post two) and follow that.

Have you tried WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit? Not sure if it will work for your situation, but it has an option to restore to factory settings and unroot if you're soft-bricked or bootlooped. Might be worth a shot if everything else isn't working.
FWIW, I successfully updated to 7.1.1 NPF10C and rooted by using fastboot to flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor. Then used TWRP 3.0.2-2 to flash SuperSU 2.78 SR1. No issues.

Can't you just install the official LG suite software on a desktop or laptop and then use that? It will probably detect the missing or "damaged" recovery and then automatically "repair".

Now I'm on stock rom with stock recovery, but the "fastboot oem lock" leads to a "corrupt device" that will not boot anymore. Can't the H870 (europe) be relocked, once it was unlocked via unlock.bin?
Isn't that the exact same procedure but then simply choosing "lock"?

Is there a "lock.bin" file that can be fetched from the LG site maybe?
From the LG developer site:
4. Once unlocked, it cannot be undone.
There is no turning back once you have unlocked the bootloader. You will not be able to revert your phone to locked status.

It's really simple. If you flashed TWRP to your phone via the fastboot method, it's almost the same procedure to get it back. You just need to get the recovery images for the Honor 7x (since there's none available for the Mate SE. They're pretty much identical, though).

make sure they're both in the same folder and that you open up a cmd prompt in that folder (shift + right click, then "open command prompt here"

That's because there's no stock ROMs on the Huawei server for the BND-L24. You have to be a little bit patient for the release.
Sidenote: If you are willing to assist. Can you do myself and a few others on this forum a favour by kindly doing a full backup of your L24 and share for the benefit of us who bricked ours. Would greatly appreciate it

I recently flashed my 6T to stock from EvolutionX and locked the bootloader, and somehow in the process, it seems my keyboard isn't able to display or type any emojis. The steps I followed are:
HTML:
1. fastboot reboot bootloader
2. fastboot boot twrp
3. flash latest OOS
4. reboot bootloader
5. fastboot boot twrp
6. flash OOS
7. boot system
8. reboot bootloader
9. fastboot oem lock
10. boot system and setup (sign in to google, etc)
Is there any step that I missed, or any way to recover this without rooting/unlocking again?

Maybe I'm missing something? The only options I see when I'm recovery are reboot and wipe data/cache

Local upgrade
You could also just run msmdownloadtool, it will reset the device to full stock. There is a version for 10.3.0, just run it and upgrade.

I thought I had to use stock recovery to flash this. Can I just fastboot boot twrp and flash it from there?

From the settings menu in the os right? I tried that and it kept asking me to move the upgrade file to the root of the internal storage, like it didn't see it or something

This is a T-Mobile device that has been converted to international fw. Would I use the international 10.3.0 msm file?

Nope, Tmob MSM, international one won't run anyway in your case.

No luck using the latest official fw from OnePlus website. Is there anything else left to try?

Correct. Flashed using local upgrade from inside the os and still didn't fix it.
Edit: after uninstalling updates for Gboard they returned. Thanks everyone for all the replies!
