Unlocker for bootloader, this is made for kitkat but I tried it for lollipop and it worked, just check your screen when your phone restarts, you should see somelines there saying
Tampered = No
Authorized = No
Unlocked = Yes
for rooting, try downloading Kingroot on your phone.

ERROR: invalid boot image csc mode ONLY
DIXIES or any expert who can HELP!!!
i have asus a500KL zenfone 5 tried software update after reboot got ERROR: invalid boot image
i am fairly experienced with root access, custom roms and have been trying to fix this issue for a few days.
I am able to get to csc mode, also powering off and entering BLUE SCREEN csc mode.
I have tried ALL the flash asus tools and everything. tried a few intels but they dont even begin to work as mine is an ARM.
fastboot recognises csc mode!!!
I can flash a boot.img but that is it, does not change the situation.
Everything else gets an error, something like ERROR: Security prevents this action or something about it being locked. I think it might mean the bootloader is locked and cant access anything pretty much.
I have tried every key combination under the sun. (Timing, P + (+), P + (-), P + (+ & -), in all combos and timing combos.
Power + Vol Down gets me to the SD Update option.
CLick the top to continue and the bottom to reboot.
I have tried both and they both take me to the ERROR: invalid boot image
im stumped.
Ive Messed with HTC, Samsungs, Sony, Huawei for gods sake, even iphones and have never come across an issue like this that is so impossible to fix. I think i may have hit my first brick.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Did you flash boot.img in csc mode successfully (no error message on PC)?
If yes, and it is still stuck at invalid kernel screen, your A500KL may be broken.

Thats right. The boot.img was the only file I was able to flash in csc mode without error or failure, still unsuccessful in booting. All the issues are still the same. Is there any way of fixing this? If my bootloader was unlocked I think I would be able to restore it however am unable to unlock through csc mode I think!!! Every time I try and unlock bootloader it tries to boot the phone into recovery which it doesnt have and cant flash one with an unlocked bootloader I believe. Please help! Is this a brick/paper weight??

There isn't unofficial bootloader unlock method for A500KL currently.
You have to unlock it with Unlock Device App from ASUS under system.
I can't help because I don't have A500KL, sorry.

unlock device app is an ufficial relase from asus, but it invalide the garancy. And it is an apk file, so unuseful for bootload problems or bootload with flash locked...
so?...what we have 2 do for enable the flashing?

Huwei P8 L09 stuck in bootloop many tips tried, none worked

Hello,
I own a Huawei P8 L09, bootloader unlocked, rooted and with TWRP recovery.
I tried this morning to flash a new rom using TWRP recovery.
Problem is that I do believe I wiped to many partitions and I ended up with a bootloop.
I could at first access 3 times the emui erecovery (btw, Wifi recovery failed) but not anymore (is it related to the battery level ? I don't know how much I still have)
Following a lot of threads here and on some other forums (I've been searching now for approx. 7 hours...) :
I downloaded a update stock ROM (B170 something), I extracted Boot, System, Recovery and Cust
I entered bootloader mode (it's the only mode I can go to; recovery No, Download mode neither)
and on my computer I typed in the cmd "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" same with system, cust and boot.
All of them said "Okay" but the bootloop is still there and I can't acess any other mode or shut the device off.
Also, my bootloader indicate that i'm "unlocked" but when I try to do something as :
"fastboot erase cache" it says "remote: not allowed" or something like that.
I tried the SD card flash method but I can't even acess the 3-button mode (doesn't work - bootloop again).
Finally, I've got 2 questions :
1) Is there a solution ? Is there/was there anybody in the same situation ?
2) Does the battery level influence wether I may or not enter any mode ? like b.e. under 30% I can't access recovery or something like that ?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my bad english.
Greetings from Belgium !
Jules
Hi!
I have the same situation as you do, All i know is that you can access the eRecovery only if you're plugged in.
But it's completely useless. Have you found any solutions yet?
Edit:
i struggled and i'm still struggling but i figured out that I need the recovery and boot img of the version i was on previously. In my case that is B350.
The main mirror is down but i managed to find another one: https://mega.nz/#!NAcgQY7Y!I4eRfkaq62J31csv_wZ8_nTzmUbWPX71JUicDysjus8
after flashing them i was able to partially flash (using vol+-&pwr) B170 (it only went up to 90% with my USB attached, fails without USB)
At my surprise it booted B170 even if it didn't complete, however right now it keeps rebooting every minute. I'll update if i manage to fix this
I have the same problem as you both. To flash boot.img and other files by fastboot we need to unlock bootloader. To unlock bootloader we need to have Imei, Product Id and SN, but I can't read it because phone won't turn on.
Anyone know how to get this info?
you can read these info from the packaging box!
I managed to fix my issues (i believe) by continuously flashing and flashing versions. I never really managed to fully OTA update to 100% due to some "CUST error" but from B350 i managed to "update" to B170, then to B200, then to B321a.
Now i just installed TWRP and rooted it and on the process of installing xposed (if possible).
I wasted a good 6-7 hours on everything already
Well now I actually sent my phone in repair, given that it still was under warranty.
If they return it unrepeared, i will try it your way, Nikooo777. Thanks.

Failed to re-lock P9lite VNS-L31

Hi!
Got a problem, need to send my p9 lite to service bc it fell with me into water. it still works, but I assume a chip is frozen because neither the wifi nor bluetooth can be turned on. I'm afraid theyre not fixing my problem because I unlocked it.
I flashed twrp recovery, rooted, but already flashed the stock rom and unroot again.
When I tried to relock with adb and bootloader code, I got the error code root risk is too high
Tried to install other stock roms again and a lot of stuff, but none of it worked. So I tried to relock via dc-unlocker. com but didnt work. But now it says when I restart "your device has failed verification and may not work properly." instead of "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." and when I tried to use adb to relock with the bootloader code it says "remote: stat not match" ~ got a new bootloader code??
I'm desperate, can anyone help me?
put update.app into dload folder in micro sd card and try 3 button method.
hey i have just the same problem and when i try the 3 button method i get the error software install failed.
but i have no revolution twrp any more and i think also no erecovery beacuse i cant do a factory reset when i tried to enter erecovery with power button , volume + button then i go automatic to software update and at the 5% i get the error software install failed i hope some body get a solution to fix my phone without dc-unlocker
ps i was on android nougat but i think there any os now because the phone dont boot sorry for my bad english hahah

could you tell me how did you get rid of this error message? im not able to boot into the bootloader, or not completely because the device is not recognized in fastboot.. everytime i turn it off, it turns automatically on and end in, it looks like the bootloader, but with that two error messages, so im not able to do anything..

To boot into bootloader mode you have to plug the usb and hold volume down while booting.

That's a big problem if you can't access fastboot or erecovery.
Seems you messed up the 2 recoveries.

yes it looks like.. i mean, it wouldn't be a problem to flash recovery again, but i can't get the device to boot into the bootoader so i can work with fastboot..

you just install frimware latest one and activate it with ur google account. than oem unlock than flash with root via odin
Im having this issue with my phone i accidently ticked off the oem unlock in development settings I put the phone in download mode because thats the only mode i can get into (recovery and regular boot does not work) when I connect to pc now it shows up as usb serial device in ports or it shows up as samsung modem and odin wont flash the firmware
I never had any issue. You get a single recovery.IMG and flash it. The s6e+ is tricky. You should have a custom ROM or what you want to flash ready and just flash twrp, boot immediately into it. Backup phone via twrp then wipe it and flash custom ROM. This will ensure you don't get any real issues or fpr blocked. Also use XDA tuts or get help here, YouTube can go good or bad. Recovery images are device specific. If you have f and flash t it won't work. You have to really look at what you are flashing and match model information. I'm seeing a lot of people fpr blocked and in trouble. I might go make a little walkthrough

Bricked S8, have tried multiple solutions

I successfully rooted my phone but it got stuck in a bootloop when I restarted it.
I can't enter recovery mode or turn it off, all I can do is enter odin mode.
I have tried:
1. The AGQ5 fix (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g-aqg5-fix-t3636857/post73032395#post73032395) it doesn't work.
2. Smart switch, it says my device is unsupported
Please help!
1- flash twrp again
2- flash stock rom with odin ( download mode )
you can reboot just with vol - + shut down B
you maybe installed the wrong version of twrp the latest one is for the new bootloader if you have the older bootloader install the last version
It doesn't boot into TWRP even after I flash it again

Flash full stock in odin. Then you can try twrp again if you wish.
