Bootloader unlock on A2017 chinese version?

I want to buy this phone from spemall,and i readed the us and europe version is unlockable but not so much info on the chinese version.It's also have oem unlock option and require 4 digit pin code.I read one guy able to unlock it on port 9008,but its not so much info about it.
So somebody knows how to unlock chinese version in proper way?
Any progress? Still trying to find the proper twrp recovery file to flash but no luck as the ones I can find are giving me a black screen. The one in the other forum is a dead link so I am waiting for it to come back so I can try flash that :/ I am trying to bootloader unlock and also try flashing either nougat a2017U and also a2017G since I don't like the Chinese rom.

Any chance to flash a custom rom to my newly purchased Le Pro3 X720 with EUI 5.9026s?

Hi all,
Recently, I go through this forum and found there are many custom roms ready for this Le Pro3 phone. After consider the hardware specification and cost, finally I procured Le Pro3 (x720) phone.
However, when I received this phone, I found the latest EUI already installed (EUI 5.9.026s). When I go through the instructions provided by XDA forum, I found there almost no way to unlock the bootloader of this phone if this came with EUI 5.9.026s.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to unlock this bootloader if this phone is came with EUI 5.9.026s? If not, can I still can refresh my phone with some custom roms (like Omni rom on lineage OS?)
Thanks
I have no trouble with my x720, first time flashed customs on 20s, but few days ago returned from stock 26s to custom. Can't you unlock your phone?
No luck on unlock.
I believe you already installed TWRP before upgrade to 26s, so you can falsh back to previous version.
Have you official ROM and followed the unlock guide?
I follow the unlock Guide but no luck. I go through few discussion in XDA forum, seems some major changes in OS permission settings on 26s rom
Maybe flash 23s, wipe then try?
I cannot try it, but maybe it's possible to fool the update system. By modifying the update script of a 23s OTA file you can bypass the check for rom and modem version, then the system will execute a "downgrade" from 26s to 23s. This theorically, I can't try if it really works but the right path can be this! Cheers!

I did downgrades from 20s to 18s and from 23s to 20s... Seems buggy, but after wipes worked perfectly.
@marik1
How did you do the downgrade? Is the way you downgraded possible with a locked bootloader? Thank you.
(I am considering buying a Le Pro 3, but I will probably wait until I know that unlocking the bootloader is possible with the new EUI installed.)
For me it's simply flashing file with ROM called "update.zip" and placed into main folder trough LeEco's recovery. Like making update, but with different file.
I tested qfil by following the thread here to flash the previous rom but no luck, when I use qfil, I am quite sure the phone is connected ( I can see the com port), the process started(rom are unzipping), but when the system try to write on the disk, the process failed. I wonder if there are any permission/encryption settings applied on the partition of 26s rom, and not sure if I can downgrade due to partition permission.
BTW, where can I download 23s rom? and how to modify the script to prevent version check? thanks

Where to download this file? and the file should place on main folder but not root folder, right?
Just flash it, without changing version checking. You can take it from LeEco website;

You can also have trouble with connect, so you have to remove :110 from link and you gain;

the problems have been fixed.
Actually, I follow the unlock guide here, the problems was on this bootloader unlock guide but not on the phone itself.
@andylcm
Could you please explain what you did differently from the guide?
Is this the guide you are referring to? https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560
I know that device info command shold be device-info

Installing LOS: Asus tool or TWRP ?

Hi all, new user here
I'd like to install for the very first time a custom ROM on my phone, a Zenfone Max Pro M1 (ZB602KL).
LOS for microG seems what I need, but before starting I spent some time reading the official LOS wiki and the XDA forum, and now I'm a bit confused...
The LOS wiki (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/X00TD/install) says I have to use the official ASUS tool to unlock the bootloader, but a post on the XDA forum says "If you have unlocked bootloader officially then even after relocking bootloader the OTA functionality does not work. Asus server blacklist your phone serial number and imei so you can't receive any OTA".
So perhaps I should use TWRP? There's no official version but I found this one, can I use it on my phone? https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...ent/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-2-3-0-t3888110
Also I assume instructions for X00TD are "compatible" with my ZB602KL, is that correct?
Sorry for the long post and thanks for your help!
You're right, unofficial unlock involves using the fastboot commands script and OTA still works that way. Search and try different recovery versions to see if they fit your need.
Thanks, I'll try installing with TWRP then.

zenfone 3 with firmware 15.04 possible to unlock?

Is it possible to unlock this with 15.04 firmware?
Maybe I need to downgrade? Pointing in the right path will be nice
Me too!
I tried official and unofficial ways and cannot unlock my bootloader. I also tried to downgrade using the files available in Asus support page, but it don't work too.
Someone can help us in unlocking in Android 8 or help us with the downgrade? All the links to stock RAW files available around here and in 10 pages of google search are broken...
EDIT:
@CharlesDicken Look at the Support page from Asus site and download the most recent Unlock Tool. (0819-1438_SIGNED_UnlockTool_9.2.0.0_200807_fulldpi_ZE552KL.apk). With this version, I was be able to unlock my Zenfone 3 and proceed with TWRP, Magisk and root in the end.
