Hi guys,
It turned out this script can't really unlock the bootloader. Although I didn't see it, my phone must have come with an unlocked bootloader.
I did another test on the same script but for Redmi 4X and the result was the same - can't unlock the bootloader.
So the moderators can delete this topic as it now serves no purpose. There are other topics for flashing TWRP and rooting the phone.
I am sorry for misleading you guys...
Here's how to install TWRP and SuperSu.
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone or lose data. I did a test on mine and all worked fine.
Info found here - (https://www.gizdev.com/root-xiaomi-mi-5s-unlock-bootloader/).
What you need:
1. Mi Flash Tool - Link(or just the ADB driver - Link)
2. Flasher ToolKit for Mi 5s - Link.
3. USB Debugging enabled in Developer Options
Install the Mi Flash Tool or the ADB drivers. Windows might tell you the drivers cannot be verified. Click on Yes to continue with the installation.
Unzip the Flasher ToolKit files to a folder on your computer.
Start with FLASHER TOOLKIT Capricorn.bat.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hit Enter and this is what you'll see:
First you need to unlock the bootloader, so click on 3. Bootloader Utility. - This only really checks if the bootloader is locked or not. Nothing else.
The program will inform that hitting Enter will restart the phone in Bootloader mode.
Once there the unlocking will begin and you'll see this:
Now the phone will restart.
Once it boots up Android, you can continue with the next step - installing TWRP. Now it's a good time to transfer the SuperSu zip file to your phone. In Downloads for example.
Select the first option - Flash ZCX-TWRP 3.0.2.X for Mi 5s.
The image will be transferred and the phone will be restarted in Recovery mode. It might take a while to load TWRP for the first time, be patient.
Now that you're in TWRP, click on Install, select the SuperSU zip file. Once flashed, go back to Reboot, System.
If something fails:
-The ADB drivers didn't work for me so I installed Mi Flash and unplugged/plugged the phone in the USB.
Check in Device Manager if the ADB drivers are loaded for your Mi 5s. If you don't see anything saying ADB, unplug the phone and plug it back in the USB. Or try another USB port. Or try uninstalling the current drivers and reconnect the phone again.
-If you've closed the Flasher ToolKit and you try to start it again, but nothing happens, open Task Manager and kill/end task the adb.exe *32 process.
- If your phone restarts in Recovery, but all you see is the TWRP logo for minutes, give it about 10 minutes. If nothing changes, restart the phone by pressing and holding the power button. Have you unlocked the bootloader first?
It might have been a good idea to take a camera and shoot every step of the process, but I was testing it to confirm it's working. Hence most of the screenshots are from the web.
Anyway, that's what I can think of right now. If I'm missing something or you can't get it to work, let me know.
yes do it plz
Yes, it's a great ideea. Do it pls.
it will be a good start to have a guide here, you should give all the ways you know, including the first step to unlock by contacting xiaomi, however if you find a guide for a certain section you can link to it (or copy it and add a link so it won't be broken) .
It would also be nice to have a guide for major roms, with some optional steps that not all are aware of, like switching to f2fp
Should be ready now. The good thing is that you don't need to contact Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader.
ok so i did everything you told me
but i fail
first i press the 3 and everything was ok my device is unlocked no problem and its restart automatic
next i go to fast boot... and when i press 1 its show me twrp is install

Did you see the TWRP logo when the recovery was supposedly installed? Repeat again the TWRP installation and let's see what will happen.

I'd say the recovery image is not getting transferred to your phone. Do you see a confirmation that the img file was sent over? It usually states how much time it took to transfer over.

ok i did it problem was the adb i install naked adb driver its on know...ok so how i install custom rom? its like my other phones but something new in mounting it seed read only ? i had to change that or something? witch to wipe?
When starting TWRP the very first screen asks if you want to mount the partitions in read only mode or full access. And a check box to never show this again. Have you seen that? If not, try to update TWRP to 3.1.x.x, don't remember the exact version, you can find it here, in the Mi 5s section of the forums.
If you get that working, installing a new OS is pretty easy - go to Install, select the ZIP file with the new OS and follow the instructions. You might want to wipe cache and dalvik to avoid force closures after that.
Usually instructions on how to install a specific OS version are found in that OS's forum section.
i all ready do that bye rename and replace the new twrp in the flash kit folder everything is don... what is the best rom right now to install?
That's really up to your preference. I'm on global developer 7.5.25. Some use LOS.
i tried your guide, but i cant unlock bootloader. After i select option 3, the phone restarts and the bunny appears but after that i only receive the message attached.
Can somebody tell me what i do wrong?
What's your current MIUI version?
I'm on 8.2.1.0 and on computer i have Windows 10. I enabled usb debugging and type on add device account

To be honest I'm not really sure why it doesn't work for you. The phone restarts, so you have the adb drivers.
Here's a little something that deserves a shot - the very first post - http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=525726&extra=page=1&page=2&mobile=2
I'd love to hear back from you if that worked or not.
i make a request to xiaomi to unlock bootloader and they aproved it in 6 hours, so i will try with mi unlock tool when i get home today. i keep you informed. thx
In managed to unlock with official metod.
Trimis de pe al meu MI 5s folosind Tapatalk
I've taken a look at the code in the script and this method WILL NOT unlock your bootloader. This is only useful for flashing TWRP and rooting a phone, if your phone IS ALREADY UNLOCKED. The third picture provided in the original post is incorrect and that will not be printed on the screen. The script does not attempt
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
at any point.
You will probably have to go through the official unlock process.

The best feature of Android - It's open. You can modify Android to have the best performance from your phone. My previous Atrix's hardware had some problem. So I didn't root my/unlock my Atrix. However, after seeing the upcoming CM10 for my set &; a battery friendly ROM yet 100% stable ROM, I finally decided to flash a custom ROM. What's great? I'm successful.
Yesterday, I was determined to unlock my bootloader & flash MROM on it. But I was afraid if I do anything wrong, my phone will not boot. I've not any other phone other than this & it's very precious to me. It's my beloved Atrix. I was unrooted, unlocked. Meant - I didn't do any modification at all. If you're on AT&T 4.5.141 (OTA Upgraded) then this tutorial is for you. (Bell/International users close your tab now!)
I'll not be responsible if you do any harm to your device
(You know the drill )
How to Unlock Motorola Atrix Bootloader (4.5.141) AT&T
I'm a noob. So I was searching for a perfect & easy tutorial. The automatic bootloader unlock seems really confusing to me. So I decided to do it manually. It's more easy &; clear than the automatic version.
I'll be writing this tutorial only for AT&T Atrix running 4.5.141 - Android 2.3.6 version. This tutorial will also work for AT&T 4.5.91 version.
But don't try this on AT&T 4.5.145/Bell/other international version. Once you flash CM7, don't flash Motorola's ROM with SBF. It'll brick the phone..
(Means your phone is dead!)

We'll be flashing a custom ROM directly after unlocking the bootloader. So please download a custom rom &; it's Google Apps to your internal memory/SD Card. The main purpose of unlocking bootloader is to flash roms. So I don't care whether Motorola's buggy, laggy, sluggish, default blur ROM works or not.
Pre Requirements
We'll be needing a couple of tools.
We need the drivers for Atrix 4G. Download &; install it from here*(31.60 MB)
We'll need fastboot to unlock. Download fastboot from here (4.73 MB)
We'll need RSDLite. Download RSDLite 5.3.1 (4.33 MB)
Only for AT&T Atrix running 4.5.91/4.5.141 -*We'll need the 1.1 MB Unlocker Only SBF for AT&T Atrix. This tool will make ready your smartphone to unlock via fastboot command.
How to Unlock Bootloader Now?
If you've rooted already, take a backup of your apps with Titanium Backup. If not, then you're gonna loose all your apps.
Unlocking Atrix 4G Bootloader 4.5.141 Step-by-step
First of all, install RSDLite & extract the file*4547-fix-try2.sbf on your desktop.
Extract fastboot to C://fastboot.
Open RSDLite.
Power off your phone. Press power button+volume down together. You'll see a text "fastboot". Then start pressing the volume down again &; and again until you see "RSD". Once it comes, press volume up button. It'll say "Starting RSD Protocol"
You'll see that RSDLite has detected your phone in the menu. (SE Olympus or something like that)
Now Click the "..." button in RSDLite &; navigate the*4547-fix-try2.sbf file from your desktop.
Click Start.
Wait 5/6 minutes It'll restart your phone. You'll maybe see a boot error. (Just ignore it. Cause we're gonna flash a new ROM anyway).
After waiting some minutes, it'll say it's saying "starting fastboot protocol"
We're half done. We've extracted our fastboot files in C://fastboot
Open Command Prompt with Admin Privilege
Code:
Type "cd.."
Code:
Type "cd.."
Code:
Type "cd fastboot"
Type "
Code:
fastboot devices
".You'll see if your devices gets recognized or not.
Now type "
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
it'll give you a unique ID to unlock your phone.
Type "
Code:
fastboot oem unlock "XXXXXXXXXXXX (Unique ID)"
BAAAAMMM!!! WE'RE UNLOCKEDDD BABY!!!!
Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery
(I've downloaded the latest recovery from romracer from here & placed it into the fastboot folder already)
Reboot your phone into fastboot mode again. (If power button doesn't do it, do a battery pull. To get into fastboot, Press power button+volume *down together until you see fastboot &; then press volume up)We're in the command prompt still.
So write*
fastboot erase recovery
Then write
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
YAY!!! BOOM! We've flashed unlocked the bootloader & flashed recovery!
To flash a rom now, go to recovery mode (Press power button+volume *down together until you see*fastboot*&; then keep pressing volume down &; until you see "Android Recovery". Once you see it, press volume up.
The ROM flashing guide is easy. Choose install zip from SD card &; select your rom package &; it'll be installed. Reboot to enjoy your first custom ROM

If you have root, you might be able to use adb and the internal reboot command to reboot into various modes (recovery, fastboot...).

***Tip*** I was not able to get any methods to work with a Windows 7 64bit OS with correct drivers. Loaded up a old laptop with 32bit Vista and the Automatic Bootloader Unlock and Root worked perfect.
It seemed to be a issues with RSD Lite? When I would get to that stage RSD would open up but never connected to device. I guess we have to wait a few more years for 64bit to be mainstream?
Some of you are wondering why I am wasting time on this older phone but, I like to by older tech that was once "Top tier" at a bargain price.
Running MROM-Olympus right now and it's pretty nice so far.
Thanks a ton to the DEVs of this program!

there is a set of drivers that are for win 7 64 bit that i found early this morning via the droid x forum. I'm not at home right now, but i will post the link here when i do get home. hopefully it helps with issues with this os setup

File uploaded. even thought it says droid, it should still work
Works for 4.5.141 ?
Hi! Does this method work for Atrix 4G AT&T 4.5.145 as well? I want to get bootloader unlocked of my phone and install any ROM which supports 2-way Call Recording. Kindly suggest a stable ROM also that supports call recording function.
I am bit confused as the thread title says for 4.5.141 only.
Thanks in advance!!! :good:
Hi! No idea. You should see what changes between releases.l and if they can affect the process.
Stable.. it depends on how do you define stable. Roms where everithing works are the ones based on motorola"s stock gb rom.
Without webtop, cm7 (i prefer official unmodified cm7)

yes, its called read post #1 and delete the recovery.sh in your phone before flashing cwm
I am sitting dead in the water with an EVGA Tegra Note 7 that can't turn on Wireless and won't let me install drivers to move further or even do a restore.
First off I am using Tomsgt Super Tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627654
So my device was continuing to fail an OTA update so I was going to use this device to reinstall the basic 4.4.2. However during the process Fastboot.exe gave a failed message in Windows, but it showed fastboot after the device name. I continued to let it Restore Tegra Note 7 to Android 4.4.2 and first of all it did it way too fast and once it was finished I couldn't get the Wireless to enable. I read another person with the same problem that had to redo the process. Well I can't get past reinstalling ADB and Fastboot, now not even ADB..
I tried uninstalling the device from Windows letting it reinstall and then checking it again. No matter what I do the USB Driver Scan fails over and over. I got this issue the first time, but somehow I got it to catch the device once and install ADB.
1) Yes USB Debugging in Enabled
2) Yes Anti-Virus is Off
3) Bootloader unlocked
4) Tried Different USB Ports
So what the hell is going on here?? All I wanted to do was run a damn OTA update.. Now I have a tablet with no wireless and I obviously can't do an OTA update now.

I was thinking about not using the tool and doing it all manually like I used to do, but all the tool does is auto execute files/folders in specific orders, basically an elaborate .bat file. So if it is failing at ADB, it is going to fail for me manually too.
Please give me some idea of what to do. I don't see how relocking the bootloader would do anything, but aside from that it was a non-rooted stock 4.4.2 OS running.
Is there something I need to do in order to get Impactor to work?
So then I plug the device into a 9 year old laptop with Windows XP and Impactor sees the device on the first try and installs the driver (it takes 2-3 minutes). Then it finishes and I close impactor, but I get an error next saying device not found. I restart the machine and now it is exactly like my desktop, Impactor can't see the device at all.
What in the hell is going on here? If I had known all this was going to happen I would have skipped their damn OTA update that continued to fail.
BTW with XP I can prevent Windows from installing any type of driver, so I did. Should I let XP search for a driver and see what happens?
Someone throw me some ideas, you can see a full explanation of what is happening if you scroll up to my screenshot. I basically have a dead device because I wanted to use this tool to do a recovery...
Wireless refuses to turn on, it just sits there for hours if I let it.
Someone please give me guidance, I was out of the Android scene for a while and I've forgotten a lot of the tricks I used to know.
If your computer is recognizing the fastboot mode that is all you need. Forget the supertool for now.
Can you use the tablet to get into the Fastboot Protocol? It so that will put it in fastboot mode even if it doesn't look like it.
If that works, you can run TWRP or a custom recovery by using ADB and the fastboot command "fastboot boot TWRP_recover.img"
Notice the fastboot "boot", that will only run TWRP once so if you want to on your tablet for good you replace boot with "flash". fastboot flash TWRP_recover.img
You have to make sure the filename is correct with the custom recovery you downloaded.
At this point, put the update you want on your SD card, put that card in the tablet, and go to TWRP or your custom recover and upload the new software.
It sounds complicated but it isn't.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't think Fastboot has completely installed on my tablet. When I hit Fastboot kernel all I get is a black flash and back to the bootloader again. I believe there is a quick message that flashes the first time I try to select Fastboot, however it's way too fast to read. When I do it again after that is when I will see a black flash, but apparently from what I have heard that is all Fastboot kernel is supposed to do??
How do I verify Fastboot is working before I flash the damn thing?

That is what I was saying when I said you wouldn't even know you're in fastboot. The black-screen with message flashes for a milisecond and goes back to the same screen so it looks like nothing happened when it is actually in fastboot mode.
You can verify this by running your super tool and it will say "fastboot device"
Do you know how to use the ADB command prompt?
Using that, I flashed a custom recovery and then put the below 4.3 zip file on my SD card and going through the tablet I used the TWRP custom recovery to upload 4.3 on the tablet.
I used this old backup of 4.3:
Forum post and links: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580287
Backupfile name: productionbl_signed_tn7_114gp_2923379__4.3.zip
FYI,
I was in your same situation and that worked for me. I could not get my computer to recognize my device in anything other than fastboot mode.

Can I get some official links for the newest/compatible versions of TWRP and the latest stock ROM I can install that is the most up to date (with Google Apps)?
Sorry to ask, but I am short on time most of the time and I might have an hour or so to work on it tomorrow.
Sorry I don't have official links but it would take you 10mins to find them through google. Good luck.
I have two files which I believe are correct except the TWRP file has an odd extension..
"Shaky156-TWRP-recovery.img.exe"
the other that is supposed to have GApps is: Stock-4.4.2-2.5-TegraNote7.zip
If that zip is only like 440 MB is that even possible? Can someone point me in a better direction if this sounds wrong.
Sources, TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586432
Actually thinking about it and I bet with having things specific to img files like IMGBurn and other software it may create a .exe so it's easier to emulate it as a disk.
Do we have any good custom ROMs these days you'd suggest over stock? Are any that stable yet? If not can anyone find me a complete download if a 440MB zip is too small to have GApps in it.
I used Fastboot commands to get TWRP installed and Android is "upgrading.." now, so hopefully this will fix it.
I have the tablet up and running going into Google Play now.
I used this thread's link for the latest TWRP (2.7.1.0): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586432
I got a completely stock version of 4.4.2 and OTA shows this as the most up to date version. I got my copy of the 4.4.2 ROM out of the Super Tool's folder that you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627654
The tricky part to this my first time was I forgot you can open a command window inside the folder that contains TWRP/Fastboot/etc. (hold Shift and Right Click in the folder where all the data is and hit open command window)
Obviously everything came off a SD Card installed into the TN7.

Your best bet is to find someone you know who the above is not a foreign language to. I mean it could be broken down step by step as basic as possible and you may still not understand parts.
(i hope no one will have issue or will any mess if i am posting this again. I tried to search and did not find any post related to bricked LE 2 phone)
Dear All!
Before start make sure your phone is hard bricked( red indication light while connecting to data cable and no preview)
Here is the GUIDE:-
1. Download the following must things 1st.
FLASHONE
SPARSE INDIA VARIENT
QPST drivers
2. Copy/Move all these files on Desktop.

Happy unbricking....
What if Flashing failed?
If you get an error like this, just put your phone into EDL mode again by pressing both volume buttons and power buttons (hear the USB unplug and plugged sound), then click the flash button again, choose “not to unzip” the rom file this time because it’s already done.
Great. Thanks!

The second link is dead, which renders this entire process impossible. Nice job

Also, when you hold down the volume buttons and plug the pone in, no drivers are installed. So that's that. Have you actually gotten this to work? If so, why didn't you post the drivers for the phone to connect?

Dear , link is working fine i have checked it twice.
and install QPST. All you need is to connect the phone with PC once its connected you can bring your phone alive. :fingers-crossed:
I have checked it before posting and this software is rocking.:victory:
I did get the process working eventually, thank you. The drivers you linked did not work, but I found some that did. I think depending on your PC setup you may need to hunt around
It's worth nothing that while this will restore a bricked phone, it won't be very stable. The phone will force reboot at least once after starting up. Also, as I found out, you cannot update EMUI from this (13S) to the latest stock 21S. The stock recovery will not work.
What I did was use the steps at https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-2/development/le-s3-factory-image-5-8-020s-directly-t3527790 to use the Chinese TWRP to flash stock 20s, then from there downloaded the official stock 21S from https://www.skyneel.com/leeco-le-s3-eui-5-8-021s and the 20S stock recovery works to update to 21S stock.

I wasn't rooted, it was just unstable out of the box. And you cannot flash from 13s to any ROM higher than 20s
If there was a QFIL file for a ROM later than 13s we could use that but I could no find one online anywhere

You can't. There is no TWRP flashable 21s ROM. It fails with an ERROR 7. 21S will only work via the stock recovery and unfortunately there is no English copy of the stock updater online to download. Just a zillion copies of TWRP which is quite useless.

friend. Double check in threa on XDA codework the developer has prepared the recovery made by him which is a great developer for all devices. look in the thread of the lineageos14 to the first page and search. you find the fastboot flash and recovery.img file with ADB. otherwise follow the fastboot throughout the ROM. OK buddy?

Hey there I recently had the same problem with a OnePlus 6T... What I did was I installed everything manually using the ADB tools, in fastboot mode. Everything worked fine afterwards. Follow this guide, it will hopefully help.(It helped me ;D)

Make sure to have unzipped the compressed android file from the guide(whichever you decided to donwload) in the same folder as your ADB and Fastboot tools.
If it is still not working... try to manually flash everything in fastboot mode, that is what I did...
Download the latest version of android pie provided in the link from the guide( Google drive or Android Filehost), and then make sure to unzip the compressed file in the same folder where you installed your ADB and Fastboot Tool. Make sure a TWRP recovery image is in the same folder. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482)
Then, what you should do is to follow the guide where it says:
MANUAL FLASH: Windows - OSX - Linux
Get back to me after you finished. Read twice, execute once :good:

Download the TOOL ALL IN ONE and if it says fastboot device connected, I think you'll be fine. Make sure right below that you choose OnePlus 6T. Then just download and flash the full rom and it fixed mine, I had the same problem.

PLeaseeee help me I have a rooted oneplus 6t. I performed a backup and wipe in hope to clear a problem and am now stuck in fastboot mode. Im pretty sure as I tried to reboot it said no os detected, and then I got stuck. I have tried to install the latest oxygen os by manualling flashing 4 files. all tutorials i read have bootloader and other files while i just have - system_matrix , system_manifest , vendor_matrix, vendor_menifest (XML files by the way). I have flashed these files and rebooted only to go back to the fastboot screen.

Bro please help me I didn't not much about this things but ill do flashing and customisation i bricked my Oneplus 6t its stuck on bootloader ill try msm tool also its shows param preprocessing ?
And my bootloader is also locked how can i solve this problem pls help me
For anyone running into a similar problem these are the steps I used
1. Download and extract files
a. Qualcomm drivers
b. MSM Oneplus 6t download Tool
2. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement by restarting your pc whilst holding shift, Choose trouble shoot, then going into more recovery ,select Advanced Options > Startup Settings > and then click on Restart.
3. Now PC will restart and Now you will see a list of startup settings that you can change. Select option 7 ‘Disable Driver Signature Enforcement’ by clicking f7
4. Now switch off your phone (by navigating through fast boot options)
5. While switched off hold both vol up + down for 5secs before connecting to your pc. *Your pc should recognise a phone is connected however nothing will be displayed on your phone*
6. Open device manager from start- Under Other devices there should be your phone (although it will be called smthn else), right click that and select update drivers
7. Browse computer for driver software and select folder with extracted QUALCOMM drivers (for me it was called unbrick).
8. The open the MSM application (run as admin tho) it should say device connected
9. Press start and you download should start- if error occurs or download stops unplug, power on, power off and the plug it again, now it should be fine.
10. Wait for download to finish and then your phone should be rebooted

Look at the post above
Disclaimer
While I will assist with any issues resulting from this guide, I disclaim all responsibility and cannot be held accountable for any consequences caused by the use or misuse of this tool or process. This method also will wipe your phone, so please back up your data. I also will disclaim any understanding as to why exactly this works, since this method was developed by someone else, I am just listing the instructions on how to use it. With that being said, understand your personal limits and read this entire guide before starting.
Thanks to the attributed users at the end of this post, to find this method we are waiting for years...
METHOD 1:
Part 1: Requirements:
• To follow this guide you will need
A Windows PC
• Latest MsmDownloadTool for Oneplus IN2017 - Link
• Latest version of platform-tools - Link
• The bootloader unlock.ops file - Link
Plug your phone into your PC using a USB 2.0 port (this is important, USB 3.0 has given me a lot of issues and just doesn’t seem to work all the time) and ensure USB debugging is enabled.
Extract the downloaded platform-tools zip and open the platform-tools folder in a command prompt, and Run adb devices and makes sure your device appears in the list.
Next, extract the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.zip and open up the MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe inside the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001 folder.
When the application opens, select “Others” under the User type dropdown and hit next. Leave this window and the platform-tools command prompt open.
Part II: Entering Qualcomm EDL mode and installing correct QDLoader Driver
Part III: Flash Stock Firmware
In this section, we will flash the stock IN2017 Android 10 firmware.
Click the “Start” button in Msmtool. This will flash the stock firmware, wiping your data. Make sure you have backed your data up at this point. It will take a few minutes, usually ~300 seconds. Once it completes, it will reboot into factory default android 10.
Close MsmDownloadertool and once you are back to android, unplug your phone and power it off.
Part IV: Unlock the bootloader
In this section, we will flash the unlockable firmware and unlock the device for good.
1. Inside the directory with MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe, there should be a file called “instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops”. Remove it from the directory, either by deleting it or moving it to another folder. Then take the unlock.ops file downloaded earlier, and drag it into the directory and rename it to instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops . It should be in the same folder as MsmDownloaderTool.
2. Reopen MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe and like before, select “Others” in the drop down, and click next. Leave the window open.
3. Hold in the Volume up and down buttons, then plug your phone back in. Keep holding the buttons until your phone connects to your PC as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", like before. Check device manager to ensure that it’s connected correctly as a COM port. If it boots to android, power it off and try again.
4. Return to MsmDownloaderTool. Make sure the phone is still displayed in the list under the associated COM Port.
5. Click start. The flashing should take about 15 seconds, and when complete, your phone should restart. It will display a message at boot saying “<!> The device is corrupt..” Do not panic, this is normal.
6. Unplug your phone and hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power until the device reboots and let go once it shows the OnePlus Logo and “Fastboot Mode”. You should arrive at a screen that has “Start” in big green letters at the top, and “Fastboot mode” below it, with the very last item saying “Device state - Locked” in red text.
Plug your phone back into your computer.
7. Return to your command prompt window open in platform-tools, and run fastboot devices and ensure your device is in the list.
8. Finally, run the command "fastboot flashing unlock", it should prompt you to confirm unlocking the bootloader. Once complete, it should reboot into Android.
9. Shut the phone off again, and then Hold Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power and let go when the OnePlus logo and “Fastboot mode” shows up on screen. If the final item in the list says “Device State - Unlocked”, Congrats! You have successfully unlocked your bootloader. You can follow your custom OS’s installation guide from here.
If you want to flash back to stock firmware again (relock bootloader), you have to first flash this file (stock.ops) and then flash the bundled stock firmware. It will give a mismatch error if you do not.
So this is essentially the same as the IN2019 guide, just with the IN2017? Sounds neat.

yes. it works after I check allow oem unlocking before flashing the unlock.ops.
and dual sim works on oxygen 11, confirmed using my op 8 pro sim tray.
I see to prevent breaking the dual sim functionality, I have to use custom rom with magisk dual sim patch. But I see the custom roms are now based on oos 12. Can I flash oos 12 first and then to custom rom? will it break dual sim function?
