I'm on Oreo, I'm stucked because of substratum. I've recovery in substratum folder which can be flashed with recovery, I don't want to unlock bootloader or lose my data, is there any way to boot to recovery without unlocking bootloader?
Short answer: You Can't
Long answer: You can't boot or flash caustom recovery without unlocking bootloader.

Unlocking bootloader won't results into any kind of data loss. *facepalm*

I know that, but I want to know if I'll get OTA's after unlocking bootloader or will I be removed from beta program?

Unlocking bootloader won't remove ability to get OTA. Modifying system or boot/recovery will prevent OTA.

Unlock bootloader?
If you unlock the bootloader, you will be able to install custom operating in this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset").
Press the Volume Up/Down buttons to select Yes or No. Then press the Power button to continue.
Yes
Unlock bootloader (may void warranty)
No
Do not unlock bootloader and restart phone

Somehow, after relocking the bootloader, the android keyboard has refused to function anymore. And if i can't set up a wifi connection and configure my phone to start up, i'll be stuck and unable to use my phone any longer. So much for locking my phone to start the rooting process from scratch.

Make sure to unlock your bootloader and FRP is unlocked. Which firmware/region are you currently using?

I attempted to unlock the bootloader, which was the original plan, but my keyboard doesn't show up at all when i try to set up my wifi and sign into my phone to unlock the FRP. I'm stuck with Google Voice and i still can't find a way to start using my phone again because of it.

So I assumed you are in Nougat. Reflash update_data.zip again via twrp (if you are using it)

I can't do that either. My bootloader is locked as we speak. I was planning on trying to lock it back and then unlock it again then attempt to install TWRP again. However, my keyboard magically disappeared from existence after i locked the bootloader.

The one way now you need to unlock your bootloader and install twrp. Since internet storage will be encrypted. You have to format data then install update_data.zip and update.zip again.
P/S: You can't install nougat via dload that's why you need twrp.

You need to go bootloader mode. Shutdown your phone then press volume down and plug in usb cable. You will automatic go to bootloader mode the one with white background then type fastboot oem unlock your-unlock-password

I can only unlock the bootloader if i unlock the Oem Unlock setting in Developer Options and USB Debugging, both of which i cannot do since my keyboard isn't working anymore. And Google Voice is below useless.

If you are in Nougat. You can't enable oem unlock. Either it won't showing or in greyed color. You need to enable it from EMUI 4/4.1

Well that just made things ten times better.
I should probably just give up on the phone.
You can just "rollback" to Emui 4.0 and unlock the Oem Unlock setting in Developer Options.
Hi friends,zenfone 3 bootloder opened the lock.Now I want to close .Relock bootloader.
Ive tried asking this before for my Ze520kl, someone said it isn't possible to relock the bootloader
I would like to know if someone has an update about that...
When I tried to root my phone (ZE552KL Androïd 7.0) I installed an app to unlock the bootloader of my phone (ZE552KL_SIGNED_Android_M_UnlockTool_2016_0715). I used it and ever since, when I turn on my device, I get a warning screen saying "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." It sends me to this link for information. The notification disappear after 10 seconds and androïd starts.
I was quite stupid to do that because I do not have to knowledge to properly root my device. So I give up, but I would like to get back my device without that security warning.
I have already flashed it from the recovery menu, with an sd card, wiping data and cache. But it didn't work.
Any advice?

I found this on the bootloader source:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing lock
fastboot flashing lock_critical
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
but they're all untested, trying them would make you take the risk of
killing your phone
OR
locking the bootloader
keep in mind that Asus also keeps track of system mounts as read write changes, so if you're trying to fool them, locking the bootloader won't be enough
Commands do not work.

I have tried downgraded my phone from nougat, but has ended in at bootloop only showing the red Huawei Logo.
Now i can´t enter recovery, can´t update using 3 button method only thing i can access is fastboot.
My problem is my bootloader is locked and therefore i can´t flash an recovery. And now i cannot figure out how to obtain my product key, so i can unlock the bootloader.
Any1 who can help me with this would be much appreciate.
What did you do exactly to end with endless bootloop?
I used the rollback file from this Thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...torial-rollback-n-to-mm-c432-devices-t3563955
Update went fine but afterwards it ended in a bootloop. The only thing i can access is fastboot.
The weird thing is that in fastboot it says my bootlader is unlocked with red, but i cant install an recovery. Its says acess denied and ask if i'm sure my bootloader is unlocked.
And thats why im back to trying to unlock the bootloader but i cant get the product id for my phone when i can't turn in on.. seems hopeless
I suppose that you did 3 button update metod. You have to factory reset phone. Press volume up and power button together and keep pressed until you see erecovery option for factory reset phone. Do it.

With huawei extractor extract (from B160 or what ever firmware is your phone) system, boot, and recovery img and flash with adb. Than you have to do reset.

Thanks for the suggestion.
When i try flashing it with adb it starts writing but then says "Failed (remote: Command not allowed)
Should have installed the proper drivers but still not working.
Same thing if try flashing with the L31 toolkit. Here it says "Something went wrong! - Maybe your boot-loader is locked?"
The only thing i can think of, is trying to unlock my bootloader again and see if its work. Even though it says unlocked in fastboot mode. But for that i still need the product id for my phone which i can´t get???

You must have stock recovery...
A booting system..
Your bootloader unlock code...
Make sure you can boot to your system first:
1.Do a factory reset using stock recovery
2. immediately after doing the factory reset go to bootloader and relock your bootloader
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3. Boot to your system and go to developers options and enable oem unlocking
If you try to use TWRP for the factory reset you will brick your device
It has to be the stock recovery.

use reflash tutorial from this site:

. Just download tool, extract, then exctract downloaded rom in this tool folder. Conect A1 in fastboot and start flash_all_lock.bat file in folder with room (I used flash_all.bat). This is how I fixed my bootlops...
You need to reflash. There's no other way.
Did you have the original stock Oreo with January security patch?
I would also like to re-lock the bootloader but now I have read your post I am unsure if its safe.

Developers should make clear that Re-locking the bootloader is not as easy as the unlock process and there is a high risk you will brick your phone.
