If you stumble upon this thread while searching for your problem...
There is no specific solution for this problem.
Allthough the phone isn't bricked, you still should do the unbreaking Method 3 in Naman Bhalla's thread on the OnePlus forums (LINK)
The phone is working perfectly again.
Also, if this problem appeared when you tried flashing OOS 3.0, check out this guide.
I did a lot of google research, found a lot of stuff and I'm still stuck at my problem.
Some background information:
I wanted to flash the new Oxygen OS 3.0 Community Build, decided to perform a clean install (full wipe with system, cache, dalvik and data).
Went into TWRP, wiped phone, installed OOS 3.0 - worked.
Made my initial setup, then I wanted to boot into recovery - didn't work.
Then I booted into fastboot, tried fastboot oem unlock, it said:
fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.014s]
finished. total time: 0.014s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Afterwards I checked fastboot oem device-info:
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device is_verified: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
(bootloader) console_locked: 1
(bootloader) exec_console_unconsole: 0
OKAY [ 0.080s]
finished. total time: 0.080s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That means still locked.
The phone won't boot up by itself.
I had to go in fastboot, and then use "fastboot continue" to get into the OS.
At the beginning, I forgot to enable the 'Allow OEM unlock' option in developer settings, it is now enabled but effect remains the same.
My question:
How do I fix my obviously broken recovery? How can I reflash it with a locked bootloader or how do I even unlock the bootloader.
PLEASE do not link me to the unbrick guides - the device is NOT bricked - it boots up with fastboot continue and also shows up as ONE A2003 when connected to pc.
What works:
+ getting into the OS (via fastboot continue)
+ getting into fastboot
What doesn't work:
- unlocking via fastboot oem unlock
- flashing a recovery (device is locked)
- booting into recovery
Thanks in advance for your help & ideas!
Hi man, what a mess did you did
I have been in that situation. (Stock in fastboot/boot logo with bootloader locked and oem unlocking disabled in seetings).
The only thing that worked for me was the naman bahlla tutorial to unbrick hard bricked devices. (The 3rd method).
The link is this one: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/
Anyway you can ask naman bhalla help in that thread. He will help you.

Thanks for your reply.
I've seen the guides from Bhalla, but I don't think that fits for me...
because the device still boots up with a little trick, so apparently only the recovery is broken.
It does not show up as an unknown devices or qualcom device or anyting in device manager.
In fastboot, nothing shows up in Device Manager.
When booted, it shows up normally as ONE A20003

When you try to flash a recovery, what error message do you get? Curiosity question.
But I'm gonna have to echo Tierri to use that unbricking method. I get you're not bricked, but that will work to fix your issue. To get the Qualcomm device thing to show in device manager, power down your phone completely. Then connect the USB cable and press VOL UP (don't press power). You should hear the Windows connection chime. Also make sure you're booted up with Windows Device Driver Signature check turned off.
EDIT: I've followed these directions in the past: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-unbrick-recover-oneplus-2-to-t3269543
I did the same thing.
Only way is boot to system (fastboot continue) backup all files from internal memory to pc,
Restore device completly as Tierri said using method 3 unbrick guide.
Unlock bootloader in system (oos 2.2.1 or 2.2.0).
and flash oos 3.0 beta with twrp from that thread: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/installation-instructions-faqs-oxygenos-3-0-0.439108/
Thanks for all your replies!
As you all suggested, I decided to go through the Bhallas unbricking guide on the OnePlus forums.
This seemed to be the quickest solution out there.
I'll update the Original post with the solution, thanks.
If mods see this, thread can be closed, tagge the thread as solved.
The real op oem fix
follow these steps:
1. launch your cmd
2. plug out your phone
3. power it off
4. power into fastboot
5. plug it into the pc
6. type these commands
"adb start-server"
"fastboot devices" (your device should show in fastboot)
"fastboot oem lock" (this will reboot your phone and reset everything make sure you backup if you need to)
7. skip all OP setup steps(skipping these steps saves your time cause this process will have to be done twice also put into DEV mode and allow usb debugging)
8. once you on your homescreen power off your OP
9. plug it out of the pc
10. put it back into fastboot
11. type these commands before plugging back into pc
"adb kill-server"
"adb start-server"
12. plug it back into the pc and type these commands
"fastboot devices"
"fastboot oem unlock" (sometimes it will prompt you in some kind of asian language asking if you want to reset all your data just click the first option this will also reset your phone again)
that should fix the OEM boot unlocker now
i made this solution my self after troubleshooting like crazzy cause i had the same problem like you but didnt have to do all the extra bs with download random crap that does not really help
~xjinx216
is your bootloader unlocked now after following naman's process? please help, i've been having the same problem for ages.
I'm having this issue as well. Tried every driver and just can't seem to unlock bootloader. Adb seems to work, can boot into fastboot but then it always says fastboot cannot be detected when I try anything. Or it gets stuck on waiting for device. I just want to get this thing rooted????
Im having the same issue and my device IS bricked (and im sure i may have somehow deleted my OS) And i can't do anything to fix it, but if i deleted/corrupted my OS can it still be oem locked?

I had about the same problems with my phone (oem unlock shows okay but doesn't unlock, directly booted the not working recovery) i was then able to boot to system with "fastboot continue".
Solution i found (root needed): flash stock recovery (from oneplus 2 downloads section) in rom with "dd" command and do a oem unlock, it will then boot to stock recovery, where you have to confirm the unlock (works with all roms but only with stock recovery).
command used to flash recovery (in android terminal emulator, adb should work too): dd if="location of recovery.img to flash" of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
You can also flash twrp on a locked bootloader like this (just make sure to have a stock recovery ready on the device).
You might want to include this in front page.

I got into exactly the same situation now, the problem is that "Method 3 in Naman Bhalla's thread" is not working for me as it break on "sahara error". Actually the message says to restart phone and retry, but I'm always getting into this error again and again. I already tried to reinstall drivers many times and I'm running in testing mode... what else I can try to solve this? (Windows 10 Pro)

Hello Forums,
I went on vacation like 2 months ago, and i brought my Nexus with me, and I thought i had lost it. My relatives found it and it was handed to me. With this being said, my nexus was uncharged for the duration of the time, and when i tried to recharge it, it flickered several times and nothing happened. I found that i should hard reset and and put it into recovery mode, but it would always say booting failed.
I searched everywhere and found that i should try and flash the stock image so i looked up several guides on how to do so. On this site i found to use a Wugfresh toolkit. When i tried flashing on both occasions, each time the cmd prompt would come up it would say
sending 'bootloader' <2096KB>....
FAILED <remote: Bootloader is locked.>
finished. total time: 0.012s
rebooting into bootloader....
OKAY
finished. total time:0.021s
<waiting for device>
BUT, my device won't ever reboot. I would always have to press power vol up and vol down.
I noticed that this is a reacurring pattern. I is unable to reboot on its own.I searched everywhere and cannot find a solution.
I am able to get into the menu
FASBOOT MODE
PRODUCT NAME
VARIANT
ETC ETC
LOCK STATE-LOCKED
I would think to unlock it, but it wont ever reboot when i tried to.
I have also tried opening cover to see if the battery wire was loose, it was slightly out of place but i put it back, but same thing.
Since you can access the bootloader, I would recommend learning how to use fastboot. I had a similar situation, and fastboot saved my N7. I'm not that experienced with fastboot, but learning was pretty simple. Search Google for instructions on how to set up SDK. Let me know if you run into any problems, and I'll do what I can to help.

im following a guide, but im stuck where i have to update my drivers. since my Nexus is off, when i go into the device manager, all i see is APX under other devices. Do i turn on my nexus in bootloader, or update the APX drivers?
EDIT: I did get the drivers working when i put it into bootloader , so when i look at the device manager i see "Google Nexus 7 Bootloader Interface". When i put in adb devices in the command prompt, i see
List of devices attached
C:\Users\etc\etc\....
I dont get a serial number, i dont know what im doing wrong ):

Okay, and the command prompt is where I had some trouble too. Unfortunately all of the tutorials I read assume that that the user already knows how to use a command prompt, which I didn't. So you'll want to make sure your SDK manager has "platform-tools" & "USB drivers" up to date. Also make sure that your factory image has been extracted and placed in the platform-tools folder. I used 7-zip to extract.
When you're in the command prompt, type "cd android-sdk-windows", then "cd platform-tools". From there you're ready to use fastboot. You can type "fastboot devices", and you should (if everything is installed correctly) see your devices serial number displayed. From there you can type the necessary commands to restore your device.

android adb folder (password to zip is jt100)
^ download that and extract the Android folder to the root of your C: harddrive (so it'll be C:/Android) this is the main adb/fastboot/whatever folder you'll ever need, ever.
- hold down shift and then right click within the android folder and select "open a command prompt here" (or something like that)

i do see the serial, but now im unsure of what commands to use, the guide said to do oem fastboot unlock, but it failed

-fyi...the command 'adb devices' is for when your device is booted up to the android homescreen and 'fastboot devices' is obviously when you're in bootloader
-'fastboot oem unlock' is to unlock the bootloader
then, if you have the 4.3 factory image from google on hand...
-extract the initial zip, and you'll get like 5 files
-copy those 5 files to the same C:/Android folder from earlier
-make sure your nexus is in bootloader screen and then just double click the 'flashall' .BAT file (if you're running windows OS) and android will auto wipe and flash everything
-just let it sit and wait for your device to boot to setup screen

The command you'll want to use if you want your bootloader unlocked is "fastboot oem unlock" Just a hint, every command should begin with "fastboot". If all you want to do is restore the factory image, I can help you with those commands as well.
You're limited to Fastboot commands when your device is booted to the boot loader. ADB commands only work if you can get booted into Android. You'll have to recover your tablet strictly using fastboot commands. Wugfresh's root toolkit should work now that you have the device drivers loaded. First step is to unlock the boot loader. Then proceed with flashing the factory image.
wugfresh doesnt work, it always fails to unlock, even using the commands, says Unknown Error

read my earlier post, forget using the damn toolkit
@jt.one I agree using a toolkit is a waste of time, especially when the OP has already accessed fastboot. He's practically done.

Right so, i did everything you said, and it was working, until somewhere along the middle it failed cause its still locked, but i cant unlock it cause it always fails to unlock due to an unkown error ):
After sending fastboot devices, and getting a serial number, send fastboot oem unlock. Then flash a factory image. Here's a good tutorial on how to flash Android 4.3..

You're device wouldn't boot prior to unlocking the bootloader, right? I would try flashing the factory images, then unlocking the bootloader... if that;s possible.

Dear developers and other users!
I have been looking for same issues but I was unable to find answer for my problem.
About a year ago I unlocked and rooted my nexus 7 tablet to use special apps on it.
Today I tried to unroot and lock my device. On my laptop the program(Nexus Root Toolkit) said it was successful so I just needed to reboot the tablet.
After rebooting it stopped on the Google screen with a "Booting failed" text on the top left corner like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think I have uninstalled android from the device but I can't Intsall a new one because recovery mode doesn't work and Android is not going to boot.
I can only use Bootloader. Bootloader looks like that:
Once I started my tablet it started in bootloader mode but every other startup fails on Google screen.
Please help me to use my tablet as before without root.
What should I do and how should I do that to get it work again?
Any help would be highly appreciated

You don't use USB debugging or adb in fastboot to flash the factory image. Follow the link and read the instructions carefully.

Its much easier on a Linux machine. All you need to do is open terminal and type "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot" and hit enter. Then extract the .tar file and double click "flash-all.sh" and choose run in terminal. Absolutely no driver headaches.
If you have access to a Linux machine (mint/ubuntu) or if you can dualboot Linux, this will really help

Exception is my Nexus is locked... everytime I try to unlock it, it tries to reboot and never comes back on...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for everyone I successfully made my tablet work by flashing a stock android 4.4.2
The solution:
1. I connected to my father's laptop (with Win7 on it and mine had Win8.1 so you MUSN'T try fixing on Win8.1 because of the drivers) because my laptop detected the device as undefined USB component and my father's laptop showed the tablet as Nexus 7.
2. I found a working adb&fastboot here
3. After the download is done unip the file and run RUN ME.bat and type fastboot for help
*If needed after running the RUN ME.bat file type
fastboot oem unlock

(this will unlock your bootloader which is necessarry
for the following steps)
4. After reconnecting my device and booting to bootloader mode and downloaded the new firmware (unzipped into the fastboot folder) type fastboot
fastboot update image-nakasi-kot49h (this was the firmware that I needed to "update")

5. After the fastboot started working and flashing the new OS (it takes about 5 or 10 minuntes) the tablet will restart and starts optimizing all te apps that you had before (that happened in my case).

Hey All,
So here's the deal, I have a nexus 7 Wifi 2012, and it's soft bricked into a boot loop. Some FAQS:
1) It boot loops forever.
2) Yes, I can get into fast boot.
3) The recovery image is currently destroyed, so even though I have the recovery option, it just boots to a 'Dead Android' Image.
4) Fastboot is currently locked.
5) USB Debugging mode was of off and because of the boot loop, I can't turn it on.
6) I've tried with ADB Fastboor, and with WugFreshs Nexus Root Tool (v2.1.0) to restore the recovery image, or the system itself, and I'm having no luck.
7) I've referred to threads such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595736, and I still can't find a solution.
While I've tried many things, if I can solve getting the bootloader to unlock, then I'll be on my merry way. When I use the Nexus root toolkit, I follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader, I get the splash screen asking me if I want to unlock it, I select 'Yes', and then the device just powers off. It doesn't restart (Even though that's what it says it will do). If I turn it on at the power switch, I get 4 swirling dots (Which is different from the boot loop I get stuck on usually), and my PC tries to install a device driver called 'MTP USB Device', but it fails.
I've tried installing the Google drivers as per: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html and here: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html and I'm confident I've done it right, but no dice. I suspect it's a drivers issue, but I'm getting really stuck on solving this.
Just as a note, when using ADB Fastboot, I get an unknown failed error:

Can anyone assist?
If you can get into fastboot mode, have you tried flashing a custom recovery or are you unable to do that also?

Hey,
Thanks for the response. I wasn't having much luck with a custom recovery, but my understanding was that I wouldn't be able to flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader?
If you can recommend a recovery image for this device, I'd be more then willing to give it a second shot.

I would personally recommend the latest built of the TWRP recovery, that one seemed to work for me when I was stuck in a similar situation. Unless I'm mistaken, I have flashed recovery with a locked boot-loader before on the same device. If the recovery doesn't work, try downloading the 'Nexus Root Toolkit' (this should work assuming that your computer can recognize the Nexus in some way). What I'm primarily trying to achieve here is a custom recovery as it would be a good starting point for solving this boot-loop problem!

Thanks, I'll try this when I get home and update. I've been using the 'Nexus Root Toolkit' and I'm getting a response from it, but was struggling after that. Will update with how it goes.

Does the same thing happen when to attempt to unlock the boot-loader?
Edit: Try using an alternate method to the tooklit, use the Windows drivers and open the command window in 'platform-tools' then use the 'fastboot oem unlock' command.
Edit 2: Can you also try flashing either a full stock ROM from Google or a Cyanogen Mod ROM via fastboot (using the command prompt method).

Thanks for the help so far. I've tried all of these a few times, and the issue I have is I can't get the bootloader to unlock. If I try flashing the recovery, I get FAILED (remote: Bootloader is locked.) in the command line.
When I try 'fastboot oem unlock', this fails for some unknown reason, with the following in the command line:
(bootloader) erasing userdata...
(bootloader) erasing userdata done
(bootloader) erasing cache...
(bootloader) erasing cache done
(bootloader) unlocking...
FAILED (remote: (Unknown error code))
finished. total time: 6.870s
And while the device does ask me if I want to unlock the bootloader, it freezes with an 'Unlocking now...' message in the top left, while it doesn't appear to actually unlock the device.
Is my device beyond repair, or is there anything else I can try?

Well there's one final solution I can think of, keep in mind, there are many people on this forum and surely many others with the same problem, so there might be someone with a solution out there. But here's what I'm thinking. Download an extracted bootloader.img file and flash it to the Nexus 7. You see I would have suggested this earlier but the reason I didn't is because of the risks that come along with it, I wanted to try all the safe, reasonable options to see if they worked but clearly not. I would personally take extreme caution while doing this and only use it as a last resort. I'm so hesitant in recommending this solution as it can cause what is known as a hard bricked device (I'm sure you're aware what this is already) but basically it means your device could potentially never boot again.
If you want further help, let me know and I'll help but keep in mind that if you choose to do this, you're doing so at your own risk!

Hey,
I appreciate the help so far, but I actually already tried this a while back, and the error I get then is:
sending 'bootloader' (2100 KB)...
FAILED (remote: Bootloader is locked.)
finished. total time: 0.020s
So it looks like I can't unlock the bootloader as it's bust, and I therefore can't replace it with a working bootloader, and thus I'm stuck.....

Hmmm, this is quiet a tricky situation, I was sure that I was able to flash a bootloader even with the current bootloader locked previously. I've completely run out of advice or solutions for the problem, the only other think I can think of doing is attempting to simulate the problem and have a play around with it myself, otherwise, I would suggest consulting Asus or Google with your issue. I'll let you know if I find another potential solution but in the meantime I would recommend either having a look around on the internet some more or looking to have it fixed by Google or Asus if you think it's worth it.

Hey guys,
I was hoping you might help me as I was struggling to find an answer through google search.
After using the ZUK Z1 (Cyanogen OS 12.1 with the latest update), a few days ago the phone suddenly restarted and entered an endless restart loop
I've tried wiping the data, the cache and the user files.
I've tried applying the latest CyanogenOS zip for the Z1 either through sideload or locally from the device.
Nothing worked and I'm becoming very frustrated
I thought that maybe if I could wipe the system partition and then apply the COS zip than maybe it would work.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Yoav.
Sideload the official stock rom with zuk z1 tool. That s how i managed to un-brick my zuk. Download the stock rom , cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed.zip from this page https://cyngn.com/support. Use the toolkit provided here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/development/win-zuk-z1-toolkit-0-1-alpha-t3235964 to sideload the rom. Wait until the phone restarts and thats it. You must also install adb and fastboot and have adb driver installed.I used the shenqi adb composite driver, but i guess the universal adb driver can work too too.
Can you tell me what exactly did you do?
As far as I can see nothing works for me with the toolkit...
Did you use a mac or windows?
I checked that the driver is recognized (ShenQI), also tried manually using fastboot commands to unlock the bootloader and flashing images, but since my device is bricked I am unable to allow OEM unlock from inside Android
Update:
So I came across a discussion in this forum about bringing a bricked ZUK back to life
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/development/how-to-flash-zuk-z1-zui-version-t3265741
Done that, seem to be successful, however the phone won't turn on and the QPST Configuration tool shows that the device is stuck in download mode.

Ok, so first, don t panic. If you re able to acces recovery and fastboot mode, there is a strong hope. I have Windows 7 on my PC, btw.
I tried the qpst tool to flash the stock, but i couldn t. That is why i turned to the Zuk Tool Kit, which did the trick for me.
To use this tool, FIRST OF ALL YOU MUST INSTALL ADB AND FASTBOOT. you can find varius tutorials about this on te interent. I provide you some, too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
It was hard for me too to understand what is going on at first, but i did some research on the topic, and i got it.
After you installed adb, you can check if it is instaled by running the command "adb version" in CMD:
You should recieve something like this if it is installed.
After you installed fastboot and adb, install the Zuk Toolkit following the steps provided in the thread of Lenvo Zuk toolkit. Download cygwin, open cygwin terminal and drag start.sh from zuk toolkit folder into terminal window, press Enter, and you will have the menu open like this:
Here, just naviagte by writing the number corresponding to the menu you want to access and hitting enter.
Under "6. Do some basic ADB and Fastboot commands.
" coomands, you will have this menu:
Do note that [fASTBOOT] marked commands will work only when your phone is in fastboot mode. To acces your fast boot mode of your phone, just select "reboot to bootloader" option from recovery menu.
Once you managed to reach this state, you can put your phone in fastboot mode, and try the command "10. [Fastboot] Reflash to stock using a manually downloaded factory image."....
IF this doesn t work, try to flash the stock rom via sideload option from recovery menu of your phone. To do this, you must chose the sideload option from recovery menu. Download the stock signed rom from here https://cyngn.com/support(NOT THE FASTBOOT ONE, JUST THE SIGNED ONE.) Rename your stock rom zip file you just downloaded "sideload" and place it on desktop. Then use THE command "4. [ADB] Sideload a zip file.
" from zuk toolkit to flash the rom. Also you must have the phone connected to pc with the USB-c cable during the whole process, of course. If it works, your phone will show the animation of flashing procees on its screen. Wait until the phone stops, chose wipe dalvik and reboot.
Use the snipping tool or PrtSc to take screen images from where you are stuck or you don t know what to do, and post them here.
Well, the QPST method seemed to have worked (as indicated by the QFIN tool).
However, it seems that the bootloop is back, when I am only able to boot into the ZUI recovery without any option of fastboot.
Edit:
Here is a pic of the Recovery (there is no option of adb sideload)

You have the ZUI version?? Because this does not seem to be the stock recovery of cyanogen. At least, i have the option to sideload in my recovery.
When you chose the install Update pacakge option, what options are displayed on your phone?
Also, if u installed qpst, you shoudl have in your PC a program callled QFIL, which is the flasher tool for all lenovos including ZUK. You must flash the zui stock rom using qfil. Read this thread for more info and downloads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk...ui-version-t3265741/post64865607#post64865607
Also, here is a thread of a guy who had pretty much the same problem as you and managed to flash the stoc using QFIL : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/bricked-zuk-z1-t3277257

Yeah, it was cyanogen and with QFIN I flashed stock ZUI in hopes that it will the bootloop.
I contacted coolicool, which is from where I bought the device.
I will send the device to them. I hope that they'll be able to find the problem.

I think you could try un-bricking it by yourself. It is not that hard. But if those guys from coolicool will change your phone, that s ok too. Blease be advised that rooting voids warranty...soo
Lucky me I didn't have the chance to do it
I didn't even have the chance to unlock the bootloader
Does anyone here have any experience with the guys over at coolicool?
i flashed coldbird's zip for capacitive touch on the fingerprint sensor. got into an endless restart loop after that. to every option, the toolkit replies command not found.

Easy bro easy, the steps that you are following are a bit confusing, aren't they?
Please tell me the current status of your phone. I might be able to help.
So i try to use the DSU Loader found in Developer Options to flash a GSI, but i forget to unlock the OEM and turn on the usb debug.
After installing a DSU and rebooting, the phone will attempt to boot the GSI but it shows "Your device is corrupt" and will no longer boot.
That said, the phone boot to fastboot mode automatically. But all the options under fastboot is not working, i can't get into the recovery mode and my laptop can't identify my phone when i connect to it.
Is there anyone know how i can fix it?

I had the same problem and flashed the boot.img on it and it was fixed.
If that doesn't work you can follow this guide to restore the system (needs to be in fastbootd mode): https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-nothing-phone-1-flash-stock-firmware-via-fastboot-commands/

So you may want to use fastboot getvar current-slot to get what slot you are currently using. Then use fastboot --active-slot=(the opposite slot you are using) eg.fastboot --active-slot=a / fastboot --active-slot=b. Lastly, fastboot reboot
Ps. Sometimes fastboot --active-slot=a/b may not work so you can try with fastboot --active-slot= other to boot into non current slot. Anyway wish you all the best

Good evening, I have the same problem after using the DSU Loader, the mobile is stuck like the screenshot in the first post above. I've tried everything but can't unlock anything. Can someone help me ?
If your PC isn't detecting your device while in Fastboot mode, you don't have the correct drivers installed. This may help.
Never try to install non-factory software on a locked bootloader!
Since you didn't enable OEM unlocking, it's unlikely that you'll be able to recover your device. Still, focus on the driver issue for now and we can go from there. Do you have ADB Platform Tools installed?
I installed GSI directly from the smartphone, I don't think I used unofficial software. The pc recognizes the mobile phone in fastboot and I also tried with ADB platform tool, but every time I get the message of device blocked

ADB commands do not work in fastboot.
fastboot devices should show the device when connected in fastboot mode.
Try fastboot flashing unlock to unlock the bootloader, which will make recovering your device much easier.
I tried everything, Windows never found my device inn fastboot but i plugged om a Linux then voila. Everything works

U can't do anything if u r OEM tab is off and you soft bricked and not booting to system.
If unr able to boot in recovery using fastboot menu there do format data it will boot to system
