Hi all
As mentioned in the other thread Lenovo is apparently distributing free bl unlock codes. So I was wondering, is it possible to use dirty cow method to root the phone (similar to how the t-mobile LG V20 was rooted?)
This one doesn't need code. Just use regular adb method to unlock the bootloader. As far as I could recall, I failed unlock it until I installed the USB driver. I tried to specify the oem code -i 0x2b4c like you needed for Z2 but didn't help. After I install the USB driver on my Windows 10 PC, I don't think I used -i 0x2b4c but the bootloader was unlocked in a snap.
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock

Had anyone tried it before?
After I unlock my bootloader using the official method, it is a silly way to unlock your Arc S bootloader. You will lost your DRM key and FOTA bricked, I learned my lesson. If you want to unlock your phone Testpointer method is obviously a better way.
So I relock my bootloader again using a common method you can find online:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20422618
fastboot flash -i 0x0fce getvar version
fastboot flash -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
Error: cannot load '0x0fce' is what I got after execute these command.
I am so desperate to get my bootloader unlock again.
Here is a adb log↓↓↓
C:\>...>fastboot flashing unlock
...FAILED(remote：oem is not allowed)
(But im unlocked OEM in developer options,
so is there anyone can unlock it?)

the command also is
flashboot oem unlcok
two types of command Available
try any one command
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
Did you enable unlocking within the Developer Options? You must enable that prior to "fastboot oem unlock"
i am on pie 073 firmware... i want to unlock my bootloader ... all the drivers are installed even my phone is detected both in adb and fastboot mode... but when i run the unlock both normally or running uts as administrator it doesnt work... nor the application of unlockimg boot loader works on my phone
Did you try manually typing the unlock command?
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
I've tried this , but it says
Comman failed
No error...
I also has the same problem

You need to download the Asus Unlock Tool.
If you still have issues, go to their forum ZenTalk and they can help you. They are very fast.
I'm trying to flash a custom rom to my X Compact. I'm using Mac OS with the latest release of ADB platform tools.
Whenever i try to input ./fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xmyunlockcode i get a -i invalid command error
Usb debugging and oem unlock in my phone are set to on and i can see the phone when i enter fastboot devices.
What's the problem here?
Thanks.

Never used fastboot on a Mac, but I wonder if trying a different fastboot version might help, or just type fastboot help, and see options. Maybe what used to be -i option has changed in newer version...
is it okay for me to just unlock the bootloader again?
Do I need to reuse the motorola code again?
Bootloader shows "flashing_locked"
EDIT: Just tried commands fastboot oem unlock and my code
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
None of them did anything... Device just hanged...
To whoever has the issue of device not responding, what solved for me was using another computer and only 2.0
port. Using port 3.0, the COM Transfer rate would seem to be too high.
Now all that is left is getting flashing unlocked....
In my case using command fastbot flashing unlock unlocked immediately after pasting it twice
