Hello mates!
Yesterday I accidentally bricked my phone and I spent ours and ours on this and others forums to find solution but without succes, so here is what was happen:
I was on L21C432B380 firmware, stock, bootloader locked, without root acces. So I tried to flash ROM 7.1.2 AOSP by Meticulus. I followed step by step guide. I succesfully unlocked bootloader using fastboot. Then I flashed TWRP again using fastboot so I can downgrade to EMUI 4.X and that was succesfull also. After that I flashed oem-info using TWRP and flashed stock UPDATE.ZIP using three button method, both succesfully but when phone tried to boots up It shows message "No OS installed".
My entire system and data was deleted, there is no recovery, bootloader is again locked, I have only managed to get into fastboot mode using adb
Every single command I tryed to run in cmd results in this message: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Somehow I need to install Firmware using fastboot but don't know how cause bootloader is again locked
My knowledge about this things is above average but I cannot "google" the problem
Please help and thanks in adavnce

Hello man,
Dont know why u do that (downgrade to MM)...
Explicitly written for flash AOSP 7.1.2 to be on emui5 (were u was)...
Flashing oem also relocked your bootloader (written ton of times in threads)....
Now using fastboot re-unlock bootloader re-flash TWRP.
If u maked a full backup just use it, otherwise try to follow this guide..

Yeah. It would be really great if you help me out with
it.
What is that
If you want to flash a custom rom, you don't need to unlock bootloader for it.
You can flash custom recovery using fastboot mode, after which you can install custom roms.

I did the same method as you are telling. I was able to install twrp through fastboot successfully(without unlock the bootloader) and installed custom rom and gapps successfully too. But when I reboot my device after installation I stuck in boot logo every time. I waited more than 30mins but nothing happened. No matter which rom I tried but I had to face the same problem ?. I don't know how to get rid of this issue.
And also my twrp showing an error which is -failed to mount/factory (invalid argument).
I think this is the reason why I'm facing bootloop.

I also unlocked mine using the same method that you have used. And successfully unlocked my bootloader. Then I installed twrp using fastboot. But my twrp showing an error which is -failed to mount/factory (invalid argument).
Then I successfully installed custom rom and gapps ( I wiped cache after installation) but when I reboot my phone I stuck in boot logo. I waited more than 30mins but nothing happened.
I tried so many roms but had to face same problem.
Is the twrp errors the reason of my bootloop issue??

Refer to this asus zentalk link.
flash twrp again and make sure to keep your volume down button pressed before entering the "FASTBOOT REBOOT" command.
Clear ur data after flashing twrp, flash trustzone fix also if you're getting error 7, install ur desired custom rom. It should work!!
I did the same a couple of days ago, it worked for me.

To install ROM you need a unlocked bootloader , screw twrp for now.
Hi everybody
My Zenfone Selfie after a normal update (never modified) is in bootloop.
So I installed adb and fastboot and I flashed the twrp.
Then I tried in every way to flash a rom. I've tried both with official firmware and with various versions of cyanogenmod. Through fastboot and via adb sideload.
Even if seems to work, when I reboot I get the bootloop problem again.
As far as I can understand the problem it’s that I have the bootloader still locked. The official apk solution I guees it’s not applicable in my case. By fastboot oem unlock i get an error message (probably why i can not enable usb debug).
Do you know of other ways to unlock the bootloader or in general to flick my phone?
Thanks to everyone for the help
Here is a link for selfie's boot, recovery and system images for fastboot flashing
https://mega.nz/#F!Ao1RjT7D!hQ5x60r02WveB9-Hl32B4g!810z0DoQ
You can't unlocked bootloader on fastboot. I hope you can restore your device.

i tried evrything from flashing stock image , recovery partition , boot image . but nothing works. same i dont have unlocked bootloader. i am stuck at just rebooting phone. please help
I came back from LOS 16.0. Flashed A2017G_B10_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL in EDL but there's a warning that my bootloader is locked. I wanted to relock it but the warning prevents me from entering bootloader or fastboot (or maybe they are not even present....). Next I flashed A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL in MiFlash but it did not do anything. It flashed OK but I still cannot access fastboot. Should I flash some marshmallow rom? Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem. Cannot enter fastboot mode on Nougat ROM.
Ok I found the way usin Axon 7 Toolkit
1. Set the Android version to 7 using option 13
2. Perform unlock bootloader
Following instruction Axon & Tookit gives you EDL image of the proper fastboot partition giving the possibility to enter fastboot mode
then fasboot oem lock
I wanted to say thanks that works, but apparently my phone is bricked now - it hangs on green ZTE logo. PC recognizes it as DFU. Cannot enter EDL either. I guess I look for some guide how to recover from this situation
Managed to fix that. Somehow I was able to enter fastboot. It said my bootloader was locked so i flashed TWRP and from TWRP using ADB installed stock Nougat rom

No there's a TWRP that works on locked bootloader.

Seems that TWRP was inatlled before the bootloder was locked again.
Hello all! I have been trying to unlock my bootloader on my SGP311. I have searched the threads, followed the instructions, and still have problems. i initially looked at my service menu to determine if it is unlockable and it said yes. I then went through the steps to unlock it and it kept saying failed. Then, it finally worked, and my tablet rebooted. i got dual recovery loaded and then proceeded to wipe and install lineageOS from recovery. recovery kept failing to install the new rom. i then had to reflash a stock rom because the tablet wouldnt even boot into recovery again. now my service menu simply says rooting status: unknown and says nothing about the bootloader. What the heck happened?

You can't install LOS Rom from the dual recovery (XZDR). By flashing stock ROM, you bootloader may be locked again.
Check this guide to unlock it, and install LOS.
It simply will not let me unlock the bootloader anymore. And I can't seem to find a firmware that I can flash to get me to the appropriate version
so far, part of the problem is flashtool in androxyde still using the command fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xkey. windows 10 denies this command every time and should be fastboot oem unlock 0xkey. But even doing so manually through the cmd prompt, it still will not let me unlock the bootloader. does anyone have a ftf file that has an unlockable bootloader? seems mine locked up completely when i reflashed the rom

bootloader is in device, not in firmware, so no such firmware exist you ask for.
Hi,
I am having a problem trying to relock my bootloader.
i am selling my g4, so needed to remove my custom rom, flash stock and relock my bootloader.
I downloaded and flashed via twrp the stock 8.1 ROM on the g4 plus page. ( stock rom in twrp format)
That went fine.
Then I booted into fastboot , and entered fastboot lock command fastboot oem lock
It said the android image was not valid?
So I then entered fastboot flashing lock
it rebooted fine to the stock android , but now the bootloader warning says ''your device has loaded a different operating system'', and thens boots 8.1.
DO you think I should go back anf flash stock rom ( not a twrp flashable version), using fastboot commands, ending with 'fastboot oem lock' ?
Just dont want to brick it, as it is now sold!
Many Thanks for any help
pootler
P.S. the TWRP I am using is a custom one ( i think )

Use LMSA flash rescue option if you have a Windows machine
(Lenovo) MOTO Smart Assistant (PC)
then see
Relocking the bootloader

THanks for the reply.
Strange, thought I had already updated this
I went back to stock firmware and decided to flash with fastboot all individual files.
At some point, I got the same ''verification failed' but the command line suggested flashing system, boot, and ( something else, cant remember) again.
i did this this, and this time, no errors occured, and I had a complete install, with a locked bootloader, and no bootloader warning screen.!
Yay - result
Thanks again for your advice - I will remember it for the future.
