Hi, I'm trying to relock my nexus 6P, but i have a problem, because my phone doesn't seem to recognize the command fastboot oem lock. I can see the phone whith adb devices and fastboot devices, and actually i unlocked the phone and installed android developer preview. I also tried to install the factory image, but the phone doesn't execute the commands i give it. Can somebody help me understand what i'm doing wrong?
Excuse me. solved. i don't know why though

Fastboot commands were revised months ago. So the proper lock command would now be:
Code:
fastboot flashing lock

Hello,
I'm trying to unlock my Nexus 7, i did this before successfully but i had to return my device to google and now i have to redo it.
So i'm using Ubuntu, i did everything via ADB to get to bootloader so that works, then when i try to do fastboot oem unlock nothing happens.
my nothing shows up on my nexus 7 and terminal is endlessly doing nothing.
anyone else having this issue?
I'm holding off twrp + bootloader unlock because I want to be able to undo in case I need to use my warranty. Is twrp/bootloader unlock reversible? Many thanks
Yes. Flash complete stock everything, boot into bootloader, connect to PC, and "fastboot oem lock".
Is it sure that it works??I have a A2017G and i have open BL and a B29 Custom Rom and i want back to Lock Bootloader

Yup! I've done it plenty of times. You do need to format the data partition though. This could mean that it'll wipe out even your internal storage, so back that up as well!
Im on stock and then i go to edl and then i type fastboot oem lock but nothing happend

Boot into bootloader, not EDL.

and you can unlock it again afterwards?
Never heard of anyone wanting to lock the bootloader so I'd a newb in this kind of thing.

Locking it again is good for when you want to sell the device or send it in for warranty repair.

Yeah, the unlock procedure is the same as before. If you didn't restore the original boot image before the relock, then it's just a matter of booting into fastboot and unlocking the device. Note that this will cause your data to be wiped as well!
If you restore your boot.bin backup file from when your device was locked, does this lock the bootloader? "fastboot oem lock", "fastboot flashing lock" nor "fastboot oem device-info" does nothing for me. Is there any other way to check if your bootloader has been relocked?
Thanks

Hi there,
Were you ever able to re-lock your bootloader on your A2017G?
I just want root for now but understand that I'll need to unlock the bootloader first. Before doing that, I want to make sure I can re-lock the bootloader if needed.
Thanks for letting us know!

Guys/Gals, it is seriously as simple as using the fastboot command in reverse. I've done it a few times already with mine.
If you used the following to unlock....
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
.....then you can use the following commands to relock
fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock
fastboot devices is not necessary, but I do it to make sure the devices is being recognized by ADB/FASTBOOT

Thanks for the answer.
But there are a few files to flash before using that command according to this thread.
Doesn't anything need to be flashed again (e. g. stock files or anything)?
Correct, but you would have already flashed those in order to use the unlock command in the first place.
Are you trying to relock on marshmallow or nougat?

My phone is only a few days old. I'm debating whether to keep it or not (considering the Mate 9, but the price is not the same - love the form factor and bigger screen though - sound won't be the same and I think I'll miss the MiPop button on the Axon (never thought that would happen )).
I'm on the latest MM (B10 - the A2017G model).
Following the mentioned thread, I got to the point of installing TWRP (the signed version), only to realize that besides making backups, there is not much else I can do with that without unlocking the bootloader. I really just wanted to flash supersu and install adaway fro the time being until development matured for this phone (maybe also play around with viper - had great results on my LG G4).
HI, I get the error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" in ADB when I enter "fastboot oem lock". Any way to fix this?
Guys, can anyone help me? I really need to lock the bootloader!
How can I fix the error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" in ADB when I enter "fastboot oem lock"?
I'm on MM B11 Stock.

Hi Guys,
The Axon 7 Model A2017U I just purchased has the bootloader locked and it is running LineageOS 14.1 - 2018032-Nightly-axon7. I need to relock the bootloader and get back to the stock MiFavor rom so that I can send the phone to ZTE for repair. Can you please explain to a newb in some detail how to achieve that.
Thank you.
Hi friends,zenfone 3 bootloder opened the lock.Now I want to close .Relock bootloader.
Ive tried asking this before for my Ze520kl, someone said it isn't possible to relock the bootloader
I would like to know if someone has an update about that...
When I tried to root my phone (ZE552KL Androïd 7.0) I installed an app to unlock the bootloader of my phone (ZE552KL_SIGNED_Android_M_UnlockTool_2016_0715). I used it and ever since, when I turn on my device, I get a warning screen saying "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." It sends me to this link for information. The notification disappear after 10 seconds and androïd starts.
I was quite stupid to do that because I do not have to knowledge to properly root my device. So I give up, but I would like to get back my device without that security warning.
I have already flashed it from the recovery menu, with an sd card, wiping data and cache. But it didn't work.
Any advice?

I found this on the bootloader source:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing lock
fastboot flashing lock_critical
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
but they're all untested, trying them would make you take the risk of
killing your phone
OR
locking the bootloader
keep in mind that Asus also keeps track of system mounts as read write changes, so if you're trying to fool them, locking the bootloader won't be enough
Commands do not work.

well, I think Asus disabled thoose ones
sorry
I have followed the guides to the best of my ablity
This is the procedure I followed: From this thread
Have ADB/Fasboot tools on your computer (I am not helping you here, it you're lucky, maybe your friends will help)
Make sure you have enabled the developer tools, turned on USB debugging, and authorized your computer on your device (again, I'm not helping with that)
Make sure adb can see your device when you run "adb devices"
Run "adb reboot bootloader"
Run "fastboot devices" to make sure you see your device
Run "fastboot oem unlock-go" to unlock your device temporarily
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device product name: [le_zl1_oversea]
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Serial console enabled: false
(bootloader) Serial hw output enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.100s]
finished. total time: 0.100s
I then tried to downgrade to s19, but does not seem to work.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas it would be welcomed, thank you
Is there an option you can turn on in dev options called "allow bootloader unlocks"? Because my mom's Le 2 has it and I assume it allows the unlock to go through. Are you on a vendor ROM? Flash the original stock Chinese 18s for your device.
Closest setting like that I have is the "OEM unlock" and I have it enabled
Well, did you have it enabled back when you were trying to unlock it? Because not having it enabled is usually what causes the unlock to fail.
Simple fix. You need to manually flash the emmc_appsboot.mbn from fastboot. You can get the file you need in the zip here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668275431
Code:
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
You may need to do the XBL as well:
Code:
fastboot flash xbl xbl.elf
Then
Run
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
and then
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
to verify.

Hi I know this is a older thread but I cannot get past the oem unlock is not allowed on my pro 3. I have all the drivers installed and the cmd recognizes my device but when I try to unlock I get the error. I downloaded the files you provided and when I try to insert from fastboot on command prompt it says the files is not recognized as internal or external command. I don't know what else to do at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

You need adb installed on your computer.
You don't need adb installed, you just need platform-tools. https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
You usually have to preface every command with adb shell. So after enabling USB Debugging and connecting to your device (make sure to allow your PC on your phone when the prompt comes up), type adb shell fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn in the terminal.
thanks everyone. I tried everything suggested and nothing worked. I switched to my wifes computer witht he same files and seemed tp brick the pro 3. How in the world did I do this through adb?

Well, I simply rephrased slgooding's post in this thread. See the first page. And by brick, I assume you only have fastboot working.
Try the other commands: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74123111&postcount=5
hey I got it unbricked by using the flash 2.0 method. The only thing is now its reading 720 instead of 727. Also When I get into FASTBOOT it says the bootloader is already unlocked but when I try put twrp recovery into the command prompts its telling me the image file is corrupt. What am I doing wrong with this adb command?

Make sure you have correct image recovery for your device.
Redo due unlocking commands you may have flash a bootloader on it.

You need to download the Asus Unlock Tool.
