My HTC cant unlock its bootloader right after pasting this command on cmd
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
The error is as follows:
C:\adb>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
Is there any solution with this?

You have to go to developer options and enable the bootloader unlocking.

Yep. This is the new "killswitch", so if your phone is stolen the crooks cannot simply wipe it and use it as their own, they need to know the google account/password that was previously used.
If you want to disable the killswitch you need to remove your google account PRIOR to the wipe. I found this out the hard way when selling an old phone on ebay...ended up having to give the buyer my google password so he could use the phone. There is no way around this, unless you are S-OFF, in which case you can disable the killswitch manually (fastboot erase frp). Kind of lame that using an RUU allows the crooks to bypass the killswitch. (Are you sure it does?)

Go to settings
Developers option (if u dont find it go to about phone and tap 5-6 times on build no )
Then u will see the developers option in the settings
Enable oem unlocking and also enable android debugging
This is the main reason behind it oem unlocking is disabled

In the bootloader, what are the two lines under the green "Battery OK" line? Should be something like...
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Software status: Official
Also please attach output of 'fastboot getvar all'
its mentioned under battery ok line.
Device is Engineering

You can't unlock an Engineering status bootloader. Your device was repaired and shipped out incomplete, not the first one we have seen... You need to contact Moto support, there is a thread in the official forums about this bootloader state, it's kind of a partial unlock but it's uses for factory flashing in a different way than we do it.
Hello Guys,
I am currently facing a phone that stopped working after I switched it of for the night.
All I get is the Mi logo when powering on the device. I guess it is a boot-loop???
I have no clue what might have caused it since I did not update the system.
My Problem is that I need the data stored on it like Phone numbers, Pictures and my WhatsApp conversations.
Is there any possibility that I might get them back?
Maybe over Fastboot?
I spend quite some time on this issue but I am totally lost and would really appreciate it if someone would help me out!
This is the device info from fastboot
fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
(bootloader) Display panel:
Yeah u got bootloop , u need to download ROM from MIUi downloads and then u need to reflash ur ROM with Mi-Flash , I think u have backup contact phone number and pictures from Mi-Cloud and Google account ( hope u not turn off this backup ) .. About WhatsApp , u can login right ? When u login all message will gone but u still member of group if u consider about this ..
Thanks for the answer. Well that's exactly my problem I don't have a backup that is up to date.
Is there any way to get to my data?

As per your fastboot comand detail your bootloader is locked...you can not directly flash with miflash... U need to unlock your bootloader or u can also use deep flash cable to boot into download mode then you can dirty flash with miflash tool i.e. Flash all except data and storage....
Hope this helps to you..

I got this moto g4 play a few months ago. I decided to finally install this security update because I decided that nothing will go wrong. I clicked install and went to eat. When I came back the screen was block and no buttons worked. I figured out that I needed to blank flash this bootloader. After 2 hours of trying it worked. I got into the bootloader. The thing is that the bootloader came locked and I cannot access my recovery or android. To unlock the bootloader I need to check the "allow oem unlock" in developper settings on android. BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANDROID. Now I'm stuck. Can anyone please help! Thanks.

Thanks for the response but here is what happens. When I try to get the key I need to run this command:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_dat
I should get a bunch of numbers and letters and numbers in response which I then send to motorola which motorola analyzes and gives me the unlock key. But when I run this command I get this error:
Code:

Good luck with that. If remediation were that simple device security would be a joke.
Given the oem unlock data responses you posted I'd say your device is toast. Hope I am wrong.

Try Using a Different Cord. Also just for confirmation, You have Moto drivers Installed? Try using different PC + ADB.
Also see this thread and post your Info: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTOROLA-Android-Developer/Bootloader-Unlock-Problems/m-p/3222809 .
If that doesnt work, take it to service center and tell after update it happened. (Dont Mention you trying to blank flash) Also, Before hand, Tweet to Official moto and moto(country) specific page. Tell them your device aint working after update. They wil tell you mail them(most of the times) and then mail them. Wait for 1 Day for reply and then go to service Center.

Hi, I don't know if you solve your problem but I have the same and I thought about using an edl cable : https://www.amazon.com/cable-Qualcomm-phones-Flash-called/dp/B01NAMYW84 to go in edl mode and then flash the ROM with QFIL. Could be worth ?
Another question; is your phone is recognized by RSD Lite ? If yes, have you tried to flash stock ROM via RSD ?

Nope, mine not recognized either and I tried different versions of RSD on different supports ( Windows xp, 7, 10 and Linux )

Otherwise i try to find my Bootloader unlock code to re-unlock it but no trace of this code on my PC...
By the way, in order to Blank flash your bootloader, which file did you used ? I think the BlankFlash files we used were not adapted to our phone model

Hello,
Did you get the cable, and if so then did anything work for you?
I have ordered the cable but it will take a very long time to ship (estimated oct9-dec4).
In other words, did anything work for you?

Take it to your service center
Hi,
I have oneplus 6T which has suddenly started giving qualcomm crash dump error after normal reboot. I have tried msm tool to flash. Tool shows success but when it boots the mobile at end , same crash dump appears again. have also tried multiple version of msm. Also visited service center but they are suggesting motherboard replacement.
Now i want to try manual flashing. Phone is in bootlocked state. also OEM is not unblocked. Is it possible tounlock OEM when my phone is not booting. also is it possible to change boothlocked state to unlock?
I can go to fastboot by pressing vol UP + DOWN and power button but on selecting recovery option it still goes to same crash dump state.
Please suggest what options do i have?is there any way to recover?
Thanks
If your device is a global model 6t then put it in fastboot mode manually then try "fastboot oem unlock* and see what happens.. Unlocking the bootloader won't fix a hardware issue but it won't hurt anything either. ?
Have you ever unlocked your bootloader and then locked it afterwards? If so I wouldn't recommend it again. I've seen a few people screw up their devices that way on here. I've never since Nexus S days when I began modding my phone's locked a bootloader. I always unlock and leave them unlocked.
**I'd either sell it as is online or get motherboard replaced then unlock bootloader and install whatever you'd I like but don't lock the bootloader after you unlock it. That's just my opinion. I've been on XDA a long time and had many devices over the years and I remember reading about people on 5 or 6 phone's I've had in my past screwing up their phones that way..
Edit added: ?
Thanks for responding
yes device is global model of 6T.
I have not unlocked /locked bootloader in past.
"fastboot oem unlock" gives error as "FAILED (remote: Flashing unlock is not allowed)"

Hi,
yes tried couple of older versions too (listed below).

6T_MsmDownloadTool_v4.0.59_OOS_v9.0.13.rar
Every time on completion of msm flashing in all the above versions, I still get qualcomm crash dump error.
My question is: Is it necessary for bootloader to be in unlocked state for msm tool to work? if no, is there any other command to unlock the bootloader on a bricked phone as "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock" fails with the message "not allowed".
thanks again for responding to the post.

As far as I know no. Because in order to unlock your bootloader you must have access to the screen so that after you send the unlock command you can use your volume buttons to confirm and power button to select yes and then it does its thing...

Hi,
The only screen i have access to is "fastboot mode " which has options like start, power off, restart bootloader, recovery mode.
When i choose recovery it goes back to same qualcomm crashdump.

None of what I had typed will work because your bootloader is blocked correct?

I think the only thing that may work would be a programmer box (ex: Octopus, Mudusa..) and I'm not even sure if it would or not. I was just about to buy two before this stupid Corona bs hit and made me broker than broke. If you had one of these programmer boxes I'm talking about you may be able to fix it but I'm not 100% sure of it and they cost anywhere from $75-300 depending on which one you're looking at. They make many different programmer boxes and they all are compatible with and do slightly different things.. Sorry I couldn't be of any real help man. I hope you can get this fixed.
I'm quite sure the reason you're being denied when trying to send the bootloader unlock command is because your switch in developer options on your device isn't switched to enable bootloader unlock.
yes you are right ... got same error

Have you tried formatting data and then reboot system? I know that sounds kinda dumb but if I were you I would definitely try that. It might boot up to system. To do this you can plug up to your computer and open command window and manually set phone in fastboot mode where you see the "START" screen. Then from PC terminal do: sudo fastboot -w (hit enter) and then once it wipes , push power button on your device which should still be at the screen that reads START. Your device should then reboot. I'd give that a try for sure if I were in same situation.
What did the service center quote you price wise on motherboard replacement?
The process looks doable I think..
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/OnePlus+6T+Motherboard+Replacement/129570
I'm assuming motherboard is the mainboard. If so OnePlus has the 6t main board costing more than I paid for my mint 8gb 128gb OnePlus 6t.
https://www.oneplus.com/support/repair-pricing/details?code=9
If you end up trying everything and just can't get it fixed ...
If the cost to repair is two hundred plus dollars I would sell it online as is and add some money to it when you can and grab another used device from swappa.com . I paid $200 for my 6t near mint condition on swappa about 5-6 months ago.
Hmm, unlocking the BL is a mute point if you didn't open the developer options and check usb debugging and oem unlocking... So as the phone is borked at moment, I like the idea of reformatting but I wouldn't reboot after the format.. but have MSM ready to go and use the edl tab in twrp to start the msm...flash away..
tried the format with -w,
erase-successful-but-not-automatically-formatting-cant-determine-partition-type........

Hmm, unlocking the BL is a mute point if you didn't open the developer options and check usb debugging and oem unlocking... So as the phone is borked at moment, I like the idea of reformatting but I wouldn't reboot after the format.. but have MSM ready to go and use the edl tab in twrp to start the msm...flash away..

hi,
even though format didnt work tried with msm too after the command to format but same result.
formating throws error as
erase-successful-but-not-automatically-formatting-cant-determine-partition-type........

Well that's not good.. as flashing with msm wouldn't matter whether the bootloader is lock or not ... As it automatically relocks it anyways... Has me stumped..
Are you sure you didn't flash anything that wasn't specifically made for your model device? I mean after you started to fix the crashdump issue?
Want to hear something crazy.. Two days ago when we were first commenting about this crashdump deal, about an hour after we stopped chatting I took a shower, got out and went to grab my OnePlus 6t off the Dash ac charger and yep, you guessed it!!! Crashdump mode!!!! ?????
I swear man! And I wasn't messing with my device when it occurred either. I was not able to get out of it by manually holding power+ volume -&+ until I saw fastboot mode and then selecting start using power button like the three other times I've experienced this. So I went ahead and booted twrp, and did a clean install of OOS and formatted data and that worked. Is this **** contagious?! ? Tripped me out! Haha!!
I'd give the data format command: fastboot -w then run msm tool like the other user said to do. See if that works.
that sounds creepy.. you getting is 'crashdump':laugh:
i guess what is different in my case is i did not unlock oem. And so none of the commands are working. Phone was working fine and one morning fingerprint scanner did not reco. my finger so i thought of rebooting instead of other method to open and i get this error. i know there was no physical mishandling on my part so its difficult to believe that its a hardware failure and needs main board replacement as service center suggests. i have tried only msm tools (stated here in previous msgs) after service center gave a huge bill (230+)for repair.
and other commands as you stated but none of them have worked anyways so not sure if i did something wrong while self repair.
guess will do one more round format plus msm...

Far as I know fastboot and adb commands should still work but not commands like booting custom recovery...etc .. Also developer options and usb debugging needs to be set to "on" as well in settings. It sure seems like they would have made some alternate way to access these settings but if they did I've never heard of it. Tell you the truth I've never even used fastboot and adb on anything other than a device that is bootloader unlocked except to unlock the bootloader usually a a day or two after I get my device.. I really have no clue what works and doesn't with BL locked.
What mind boggles me is all over our OP6/6t forums you see people talking about this crashdump issue. And although I've been there 5 or 6 times on my 6t I've always been able to get out of it by holding down power + volume +&- until I see the fastboot screen then releasing. And I guess many people cannot do that. I wonder why? Maybe there are two different crashdumps...? Sure seems that way to me. I've always been able to hold my buttons down and get out of it by rebooting from fastboot mode. Many report they cannot do that. ?
(I wasn't even gonna mention crashdump. My luck my phone will go to it and I won't be able to get out of it like I've been able to before.) ?
Edit added:
sudo fastboot oem device-info
Use that command to show whether device is bootloader unlocked or not. See what it says if you type that in?
Maybe see what this shows afterwards as well:
sudo fastboot gatvar all
I believe your developer options and usb debugging was probably not flipped on as well, in settings?
bro fixed aleady? i got fix for you.
i have tried the commnads you have stated earlier.. still giving output here.
fastboot oem device-info
output below
...
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
(bootloader) enable_dm_verity: true
(bootloader) have_console: false
(bootloader) selinux_type: SELINUX_TYPE_INVALID
(bootloader) boot_mode: NORMAL_MODE
(bootloader) kmemleak_detect: false
(bootloader) force_training: 0
(bootloader) mount_tempfs: 0
(bootloader) op_abl_version: 0x31
(bootloader) cal_rebootcount: 0x31
OKAY [ 0.027s]
finished. total time: 0.028s
so it's locked
fastboot gatvar all gives the list of options that you can use with fastboot
most of the commands dont work and gives below error
FAILED (remote: Erase is not allowed in Lock State)
yes developer options and usb debugging was probably not flipped either

Hello, I just purchased a new "unlocked" 8 pro and attempted to unlock the bootloader. While in fastboot mode when I run the command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
in my terminal I get "FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed). Does anyone know what this means? Is there a way around it or is the phone does this mean the phone is actually locked? Thanks.
You need to activate oem-unlock in developer settings first.

That did it! Thanks!
i cannot activate oem unlocking in develper options. I have a Oneplus Nord n10 5g the Tmoblie Version be2028.
Any suggestions I have been stuck here awhile?

Why not ask in your own device thread? If there are any special steps needed the folks there will know more.
