After unlocking bootloader, I am not able to flash anything ...TWRP, Boot.img, SU. Nothing, the download mode seems to block every effort.
Have tried all the free "OneClick" stuff both APK and computer. Just want to root my Nexus. Sorry if this is a duplication. I have searched and had not luck
finding a solution.
Thank you,
David
I had a similar issue...maybe. My download mode always said disabled. What I did was put the phone in download mode. Then issued the command in CMD (I use minimal adb and fastboot - google it if you dont have adb and fastboot installed on your computer) "fastboot oem ramdump enable" and then restarted the bootloader, now download mode is enabled and I can flash factory images etc.
What are you guys talking about download mode? What i do is I reboot into bootloader mode (after unlocking bootloader), flash TWRP, install custom ROM/Root/Kernels, and you should be good to go.
Download enabled

Well now it is enabled.
Fastboot, Recovery, Download seem to be interchangeable. When I hold down lower volume and power button, it brings up eight or nine lines ... one saying Download Mode; DISABLED all caps. When I did what you said it changed to ENALBED. However, even though I can enter Fastboot Devices and get serial number... it won't let me flash boot image or TWRP. Thank you in advance... any suggestions.
Interesting, have bootloader disabled but still managed to carry on as normal, I just flashed factory images a couple of days ago.
I will try above and enable it

US996 Unlocked, stock rom. I was in XDA Forums and saw there were app updates, one being Play Store. I updated. When I tried to get into Play Store, the message "this version of play store is incompatible with your device, go to settings and disable app update (or something like that). I tried but the app was not listed in settings. I tried to reboot and now the phone bootloops. All I can get is the warning that the software cannot be checked for corruption and then a quick display of the LG logo, then screen off, and then LG logo again and then warning screen, etc. If I try to reboot into recovery I get the Factory data reset screens and I answer both "yes" and the phone goes into adb mode.. From adb mode I can fastboot reboot, which puts me back into the above loop, or fastboot bootloader, which merely returns me to the adb screen. What can I do now?
Maybe try relocking the bootloader. I am pretty sure (someone correct me if I am wrong) that that pop-up of the "cannot check for corruption" usually only shows when the bootloader is unlocked.

Try entering
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
into Fastboot on your computer to see if it says it is unlocked when in fastboot mode.

I get "FAILED (remote: unknown command)"
Do you have fastboot installed on your computer? (Something you would have had to have intentionally installed) If not google Minimal Fastboot /ADB and install it, enter the supposed ADB screen you are talking about and see if it makes contact with your phone.

I have the fastboot on the PC that I used to unlock the bootloader.. I enter fastboot on the PC via the administrative command prompt. With the phone in the fastboot mode, I type "fastboot devices" on the PC and get a proper response (LGUS996ab**** fastboot). If I enter ""fastboot reboot" I get the bootloop. If I enter "fastboot bootloader" I wind up in Fastboot Mode on the phone again. I was hoping there was a "fastboot recovery" command but there doesn't seem to be. I don't know what to do next. I am not all that familiar with what can be done from fastboot. My only experience with it was when I unlocked the phone. I am desperate!
Okay, so if you do not have TWRP installed on your phone, then I don't know if you can save your data. You can try to
Code:
fastboot erase cache
and see if it helps, or if not and just reset the device fastboot oem lock I think. Maybe ask around in the unlocking help threads or perhaps someone with more knowledge will chime in. If none of this works, then there are some instructions on how to get your phone back to stock in the News and Guides section.
EDIT: Maybe try the power+volume down. It may work? I have tried it and never got it to successfully work. But you can try it.

Thanks for your help. I DO have TWRP installed and have used it often for backups. But now the only way I know to TRY to get to it is by the power/vol down until LG logo, then release/repress power button sequence but this just gets me into fastboot mode. II have some recent backups saved on my micro SD card - is there any way to flash one of them through fastboot if I load one onto the PC?
Yeah. My bad. Okay, so how I get into TWRP is through the EasyRecowvery.
Go ahead and download it from Git-Hub (1.3b3).
Now extract it and run the cmd program. Enter 5. which is extras and stuff and then enter 5 again in the sub menu which will let you boot into recovery. When you are in recovery, and plugged into your computer, you should be able to either flash or drag and drop like a flash drive on the the phone. Hope that helps a little bit.

I don't have T-Mobile. I have Verizon Wireless on the US996. Will that work?

Since you are only rebooting into recovery and not flashing anything it might. If not, it will just fail and not harm anything. Last thing to try is the
Code:
adb reboot recovery
which is the only thing I can think of and I think you already tried it. Otherwise you will need to just go stock.
How can I relock the boot loader and restore my Stylo 2 to factory default? Provider is T-mobile.
fastboot flash oem lock.
Note however if you used twrp this will brick your device unless you flash the original recovery first. Provided you got the kdz or LG bridge you should be able to just lock put in download mode and use the repair recovery option.I'm not responsible if you brick your device. Good luck

I had used LG Bridge to reflash my phone so I believe that I have original recovery on the phone. How can I verify?
When I enter fastboot flash oem lock I get < waiting for device> on my terminal screen and thats it?
Once you have the phone wiped completely back to default (including recovery) with the LG tools. Enable developer mode, and then enable USB debugging. While it is plugged into your PC navigate to the folder where you have the ADB applications in CMD or add the location to your Environment variables. The latter will allow you to launch ADB/fastboot commands from any location in CMD. I definitely suggest this. With your phone connected run "adb devices" to make sure that it sees your device. Then run "adb reboot-bootloader" to reboot into the bootloader. While on that screen run the command "fastboot flashing lock_critical". It should prompt OKAY then give the time it took and also that all of the user data was deleted. Then finish up by typing "fastboot reboot". That will put the phone back into a normal mode. Boom, you are done.
Help
When I use the fastboot oem lock, at the moment when I power on the phone in the screen appears the text "Your device has failed a routine safety check and will not boot.
This may be a temporary problem.If this message occurs rerepeatedly, visit this link on another device and refer to the Red case: g.co/ABH
I have two days looking for the solution, and I didn't found anything
Last week i received a notification the 8.1 Oreo update was available for my Moto g4 Plus.
Downloaded the package and hit the install button. My moto restarted in order to perform the installation.
However, since i had TWRP installed and thus bootloader unlocked, the phone restarted in recovery mode.
Downloaded a TWRP 8.1 rom and installed it without a problem.
Unfotunately everytime I restart my Moto it starts up in fastboot mode.
Bootloader log shows: Fastboot Reason: reboot mode set to fastboot
From bootloader I can start the Android OS, but i wan't to get rid of this reboot mode
I tried tools like "Android Multi Tool" and "Free ReiBoot for Android" but this reboot mode can not be cleared.
Anyone encountered this problem and how did you fix it.
Thanks in advance
Try this:
Reboot your device to the bootloader.
Connect your device to your computer and open an ADB terminal on your computer.
In the ADB terminal, type 'fastboot devices' without quotes. Press Enter - your device should respond with its serial number.
If so, then type 'fastboot oem fb_mode_clear' without quotes. Press Enter, then reboot your device.
That fb_mode_clear command seems to clear a flag that keeps your device booting into fastboot (usually for OTA updates).
I have Tried that option as i found it as one of the possible solutions for this issue.
the clear_fb unfortunately does not remove the fastboot mode on my moto.

Hi,
i used Miflash in edl mode to get back to stock rom. after flash and reboot I used the recovery mode to do a factory reset.
It seems to work. It shows Android Recovery, but the bootloader is still unlocked.
What mode do I need to enter to use the "fastboot oem lock" command? I always see "waiting for device" and nothing happens
When I type "adb devices" I can see the phone. I saw there is a command "fastboot devices", too. but it shows me no result.

Thanks, before I can try that I have to solve another problem.
That doesn't work. The phone isn't entering a special mode. I can choose fastboot from the bootmenu, too. But nothing happens. The phone does a restart, shows the bootmenu again and boots android after 5 seconds.
@Stevie123
You need to enable fastboot (bootloader) mode since it is disabled by ZTE, so that the selection from menu to be effective (after enabling it, in fastboot mode, your command "fastboot devices" (to check) and "fastboot oem lock" (to lock bootloader) will be accepted).
You can use Axon 7 EDL tool to unlock the bootloader.
It's already unlocked. I have to make another unlock procedure again to get access to fastboot? The EDL Tool tells me that I have to wipe and reset the phone after it. So it seems I can't keep my data and just lock the bootloader.
Either Lock or Unlock will wipe your data. And yes, the unlock procedure by Axon 7 EDL tool includes the enabling of fastboot. So you have to re-unlock if you want to relock.
I think this EDL tool doesn't work very good. It flashed something to make fastboot available, but I had a green ZTE Logo screen and this screen also had errors like white spots. The original ZTE logo is in cyan. But the fastboot worked and I could lock the phone. But I couldn't do anything else anymore. I couldn't reach Android and reflashing also didn't work. So I tried to use the EDL Tool to unlock my bootloader again. It said success, but it didn't work. It was still locked.
Well, I had to wait until the phone was empty. Luckily I could reach EDL Mode again. I used the MiFlash again to Downgrade to Android Nougat B12. I read somewhere that the fastboot is included there. So I had the right ZTE Logo back and it worked. I could leave the Bootloader locked. The final update I did with a SD Card to the lastest Android Software for Axon 7. Luckily without a brick. It's a pity that they don't offer any Updates anymore.
Currently, I am trying to unlock bootloader using adb.
I installed adb and fastboot and checked everything until the CMD shows my device correctly.
And right after I type
"adb reboot bootloader"
my tablet just restart and does not go into the bootloader mode.
I also tried it manually, by pressing home+up+power button, but it also perform restart and no bootloader mode.
Does anyone knows why?
I checked all the settings in developer mode and cannot figure out why.

You can't unlock the bootloader with adb only with fastboot which doesn't work on Samsung. To unlock the bootloader on Samsung you have to enable OEM unlocking in developer options. Also Samsung doesn't have bootloader mode but instead they have Download mode which you can use tools like Odin or SmartSwitch to flash files. To get into Download mode use the command adb reboot download or use the button combination power + volumn down + home.
