relock honor 5x bootloader sorry for noob question

hi all my first post im wanting to relock 5x bootloader has i unlocked the boot loader unofficial way as my fingerprint scanner is not working so prob needs to go back also it wont update
i tried this via adb fastboot oem lock and it said FAILED ( remote invalid command) plus on the phone in fastbbot red its got PHONE unlocked and FRP UNLOCK
hope someone can help would be appriciated and im running b130 firmware

I dont think you can relock it its unlockable for a reason. Offtopic// how is warranty in europe when unlocked?

hmm,
well ive relocked bootloader just will not update and fingerprint not working not even in menu

Maybe you should walk us through what exactly you did up until the point where your FP scanner stopped working. It seems strange that it stopped working as a result to unlocking the bootloader (they are not related).

this is what i did
right i tried installing cm13 installed twrp and then the rom did not work kept crashing
so i reinstalled stock recovery via adb
then installed b130 rom for l21 device
ive even tried the dload update app route to reinstall stock rom and when i connect it to my charger and do the key combo i keeep getting software installed failed and it goes to quick to get the error message
i cannot update and im stuck on b130
when i do goto uopdate via handset it says your system was altered and full update is needed and then fails

Thats not the error. You cant update the phone after you rooted it/ after the bootloader is unlocked.
Did you clean flash it or dirty?

the fp aint working I've had enough lol and i can't even take it back to service centre as i think they would say boot loader as been unlocked no warranty

@Zulu:
Is your issue that the fingerprint setup menu item does not even show up in the settings menue even when you re-flash stock rom and EMUI 3.1?
I have that exact issue. I have been trying every possible way to go back to stock, am at EMUI 3.1 now with original Recovery. But still the fingerprint menu item still does not show up in the setup menue screen.
Now I am hoping that EMUI 4 will solve that issue.
Did you find a solution by chance?

hi yes same issue i couldn't get phone to update to b140 or anything so I've just reflashed cm13 this time which went without any issues this time round. when i went back to stock the fingerprint was not even in menu same as you
i will not buy a cheap budget phone anymore this is way to much aggro lol and I've flashed loads of phones before and never had these issues on this scale I'm going to be buying another phone in a couple of months
the only reason i wanted to flash in first place as i thought stock was laggy
let me know if you get your issues sorted and then give me a step by step guide please when you have done this
also i did unlock my boot loader via dc client software as huawei site for unlocking boot loader never worked for me
:silly:

u can relock the bootloader. i did it. just go to the bootloader with fastboot oem relock ****** command. **** is your 16 digit unlock code. but 1st flash the stock recovery then lock the bootloader.

Hello zulu1875, if you are interested you can now contact our support team at 1-844-524-6667 for more information as we now offer an RMA process to re-flash the device back to factory settings. Please keep in mind that re-flashing the device will wipe the memory of the device clean.

Hi thanks for message I'm based in uk does honour uk offer this service as I desp need to back to stock

Have I bricked my phone?

Ok I've been playing arround with trying to flash it for ages.
Didn't load any new roms but doing everything else. My model is now nxt-coob36b no al10 or l29 in there.
Every time it boots it has red warnings.
In fastboot mode it now says it's locked and frp is locked.
I can't seem to unlock it using my boot code or really do much now.
Twrp won't come up so I can get root access to change any thing back
I have no google play but weirdly it's in a 100% English os

Hi gros31,
in developer settings have you got OEM unlock option ?

As long as u r able to make calls, it's working

Yea that oem lock had me. Now I've got it working and saying it's a l29 but with only 4gb internal storage (about phone says it's 64gb) but file manager says 4gb

Looks like you re branded your phone, use the SRK tool to change it back to your model, you need root to do this.

I've rent from a10 to l29.
I want it to remain l29 I've used the srk tool
A fair bit.
I'm going to use the knife tool uusing the unbrick method then force update it hopefully.
That trwp tool donu need to unencrypt anything or is trwp only used for install the su program

[How to] flash Global to China Mi6 without UBL

I bought the MI6 and find out that without tools or unlock bootloader, there is no way to flash a global rom to china rom. My Mimax convenient EDL cannot be used in Mi6.
Unlock is easy, but since mine is new and under warranty, i prefer a Xiaomi rom.
Luckily i fond this tool:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BwypTnSm1wlhTkp0ai1LUXZKdkk
Credit to the dev http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=663972&highlight=xiaomitool
Download this, run, and follow the screen.
it will check your boot, recovery, then list the rom that possible to install.
Choose global, lets it download, choose recovery and the tool do the rest.

Thank you. I will give it a try on " bricked" mi5 and new mi6.

This tool make unlock bootloader automatically... so your warranty is gone after

Ok it works

It is not working locked bootloader

Just ask for permission to unlock bootloader, usually takes a week or so. Unlock > flash > lock again. No need to experiment with some tools or whatnot official.

I already had been using the phone for long enough, the permission took 4 hours to go through. Never been an active user of their services either.

Actually I am looking for a way to wipe whole partition as my second-hand mi6 is binding with a mi account which is not mine.
Flashing in EDL mode is easy to flash any official from you want but asking to unlock the device after setting up.
Though there is some tricks can be done to bypass the checking, I cannot log on my mi account or even restart device.
I had just had a tried as this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/installing-twrp-locked-bootloader-t3406501
To flash TWRP directly by MiFlash. But fail to boot in it with a 'the system has been corrupted'.
Just wanna give more ways to flash or unlock with the limitation of officially unlock BL

Unable to Unlock BL

Today I decided to unlock bl , flash twrp and root my M1.
Tried 3-4 methods , 3 PCs , manually installed drivers and wasted 4hrs but all got zero results. Everytime after clicking on "unlock.cmd" nothing happens. Just command window shows erase all devices ... something like that.
I am currently on latest build i.e. 311.
Any help is welcomed.

If you don't want to claim warranty, you can use the official unlock tool to unlock your boot loader. But you should be aware of its issues.

Look and unlock bootloader with official method

In other posts there is procedure , for device with bootloader unlocked with unofficial method, for look and unlook officially, but is confused and in other arguments.
Is possible have this post for this argument, with clear guide , because I think is important question.
This maybe procedure:
1. miflash to official China Beta rom first. Flash without relock.
1b. Download from PC VPN app, install on phone and set connection to China. Then you are able to active usb developer options
2. re-lock bootloader with official China Beta rom. Flash and relock.
3. unlock bootloader again with official China Beta rom. Need to tie up with Mi account and insert a SIM card. For me, need to wait for 720 hours before MM3 can be unlocked. I checked chinese miui forum. This apparently is a new requirement. One full month later. Gosh...
4. miflash to official Global rom and stop there.
5. Do not re-lock bootloader with official Global rom""
I don't try this procedure......

What's the point of looking the bootloader just to get it unlocked again after whatever hours waiting!?
Do you experience problems with the device being unlocked unofficialy? Or this is just another "good advice/info" coming from MIUI forums...
Be happy somebody already took care of that and enjoy the unlocked bootloader freedom you get.

The device comes unlocked but your Mi account has not permission to unlock this specific device because you never followed the official unlock procedure.
Xiaomi with its new policy does not let you use a Chinese version of a phone with a global rom and a locked bootloader. If you flash the global rom and for some reason the bootloader gets locked, your phone will stuck on the recovery with the following message "this miui version cannot be installed on this device", at this stage you must unlock the bootloader to be able to boot again, if the bootloader was unlocked officialy with you own account, you can use the mi unlock tool to unlock again and make the phone bootable, if the bootloader was unofficialy unlocked or unlocked by other account, in this case you can't unlock with the Mi unlock tool, you can't flash another rom since the bootloader is locked, you can't follow the official unlock procedure because you are stuck in recovery, the only solution is to use the test point method with EDL authorized account

Ok, I guess sounds reasonable for majority of the users.
But me personally? I could care less...
You can backup bootloader unlocked status and restore it if locked by accident...

It requires either root or EDL or TWRP...
And no, EDL is not locked, it's not Xiaomi's feature to lock it, it's Qualcomm business... MiFlash is locked which is irrelevant... Who needs their stupid front end when you can use Qualcomm tools...

Users have been experimenting with older versions of MiFlash as well as Qualcomm's official flashing tool QFIL, but to no avail, they couldn't flash in EDL because the programs could not bypass the requirement for authentication.

that is exactly what just has happens with me few minutes ago.
I bought the MAX3 through Ali Express with "fake" global Rom, and open bootloader, however since the global ROM is officially released by Xiaomi so I was trying to flash it through XiaomiFalsh but, mistakenly, and unfortunately, I kept the tick mark on "clean all and lock" and now the phone is stuck on recovery, I called the service center of Xiaomi by they said since it is not officially announced in my country so it is not their baby and they asked me to contact the seller "who ali experess! no way!!"
guys who can help me to get out of this issue will be really appreciated, but keep in mind I'm not an expert.

There is no way to apply for unlock without a bootable phone, He must go to Developer options -> Mi Unlock status -> Add account and device but this is not possible because the phone is stuck in recovery.
The only solution right now is to use the test-point method to flash the chinese rom.

Oh right, now I remember. This was that very big announcement. Completely forgot. Thanks for the reminder. Yes, then test point is the only option, unfortunately.
Again, this was why I urged people to steer clear of global and stick to Eu roms. More harm than good especially related to such situations (many new flashers accidentally locking bootloaders).

Thank you so much guys for your feedback, for now I have the flowing questions:
1- the phone is stuck in recovery mode, how I shutdown the phone.
2- If I wait for Xiaomi to launch MAX3 officially in y country do you think they will be able to help me even with charged service?
3- can any of you expert guys direct me to some useful link to see how do it use the test-point method.
4- If I succeeded to unlock the bootloader through the test-point method, is it mandatory to flash the Chinese version or I can flash global Rom and keep the bootloader unlocked.
thank you in advance for your time.

1. Hold power and volume down until boots to fastboot mode, leave it and it should turn off automatically after few seconds.

4. With the test-point method you can flash the chinese rom even if the bootloader is locked, after succesfully flashing the china rom you have to apply for official unlock, after getting the unlock permission you can flash global rom by leaving the bootloader unlocked.
XiaomiTool official page is proposing another solution but you need to wait for a global dev rom to be released and it is not guaranteed to work
If you get the message "this miui can't be installed on this device" and your device is bricked you might be able to recover it using xiaomiadb by first installing global developer and then installing china developer OF SAME VERSION (for example 8.8.16->8.8.16) using "xiaomiadb sideload_miui -otarom CurrentRom [ZIP_ROM_FILE]"

hello all, if someone can help me, i have my mi max3 with locked bootloader.
now i dont have any rom on it so trying to load a rom but getting an error ERASE is not allowed in locked state
what rom can i flash on it ?
tried to unlock bootloader via the tool, it gets stuck at 50% cannot verify phone.

had the same problem, was able to recover it with the test point method and flashing chinese rom, and switching to english language.
the procedure is described here:
https://androidfilebox.com/tips/edl-test-point-mode-redmi-note-4x/
the installation process of the qualcom drivers is special.
you have to open te backcover, which is very special too, dont forget to the 2 mini screws at the usb port and the drawer on the side . search and look on youtube.
look further, where the testpoints are on the mi max3
follow strictly the procedure, load and double extract the chinese rom for the mi max 3.
It is real work, and real danger that you break something mechanical, one shoud have a calm hand and a lot of patience, but for me all went good and the phone spang to live again.
Another solution could be this, but I have no experience with it:
