Tried already bro nothing works i read somewhere that windows 10 have issues to unlock bootloader and everything works fine with windows 7.. But this thing doesn't make any sense according to me :/
Well, I am not an expert in this. It should just work. And the Windows 10 thing is absurd. I am using Windows 10. Plus, development mode is not enabled in my laptop.

Use unlock.sh instead of unlock.cmd
If the phone is indeed detected in fastboot mode using
Code:
fastboot devices
, try running the script from unlock.sh instead of unlock.cmd.
I have not been unable to flash fastboot stock ROM from this laptop using the .bat file but for some reason, .sh file works fine.
Just install Git on windows. It will give you a wrapper to run shell scripts on your windows machine (Git BASH).
Again, I am not an expert. This might not work but at least it won't corrupt anything.
This happened to me as well, its problem with your pc(i mean drivers or just your os or maybe the usb ports, use 2.0 ports preferably) i have two pcs with windows 10 installed in both. One is updated and the other outdated. It failed in my updated pc, tried all methods like install, uninstall drivers, disabled driver signing, used different cables, used different usb ports 3.0, 2.0 but nothing worked. Atlast i gave it a try with my outdated windows 10 pc. It worked liked a charm. It has something to do with the drivers i suppose. Try in a different pc it might just work right for u as well

I had the same issue, after reading to many webpages, stumbled on this official unlock tool apk. Once the bootloader is unlocked using the app, the phone reboots into ASUS UNLOCK MODE with device status as unlocked and message to restart the phone. Heres the catch this is already the fastboot mode so flash TWRP at this stage. If you restart the phone in fastboot before flashing twrp, on running the flash cmd the screen of your phone would black out with a message "press any key to shutdown". Hope this helps.
unlock tool apk
then how do I install that official unlock tool in fastboot mode. since I can only access CSC FASTBOOT MODE.

Hi!
First of all, I'm sorry for my English...
I have unlocked and rooted my device (Huawei P9 lite).
I have install the TWRP bootloader and I tried to install a new costum ROM, but my device was turned off and never opened again. (Maybe: Low battery).
I try to charge my device but it didn't recognize the charger. So, I removed the battery from device (with the help of a technician) and charging it.
After all, I tried again to root and install TWRP but the device doesn't open or recognized of my PC...the only thing to do is to be recognized by the PC in fastboot mode but not allowing me to do something in the command window.
What am I doing?
First of all....
What exactly did you try to flash? Which "custom ROM" are you talking about?

I download the costum ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/dev-cyanogenmod-13-huawei-p9-lite-t3465612
Use <[DEV] VNS-L21-L22-L31 [EUROPE] Toolkit [0.0.0.8] Bootloader/Recovery/Root/Dual-Sim> and try again to da all from begining...
- check bootloader - lock/unlock
- flash stock recovery/twrp
- root it if is necessary
- copy update.app to SDcard into dload folder and try to reflash device.
I tired... but it didn't recognized my device!

Okay so that is interesting.
Have you followed the exact instruction on the Website of Meticulus?
The CM Rom is HIGHLY alpha and cannot be flashed without a strict preparation.
Are you able to boot your phone into fastboot mode?

Hello this is my first post. I have searched the threads and internet for answers but I have not been able to find a solution.
I have been customizing my phones since the days of baked black bean on my galaxy S1, but I am no expert at this stuff. Until about a week ago, I was happily running RR on the OPO (great ROM) but it has gotten a bit slow so I figured it was time to get a OP5.
When I boot into fastboot, my device is recognized with the command fastboot devices. My phone showed the following:
fastboot mode
product_name - QC_Refernce_Phone
VARIANT - MSM UFS
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - c7ccda2
SECURE BOOT - yes
DEVICE STATE - locked
When I ran fastboot oem unlock, CMD prompt shows FAILED, however, the option to unlock the bootloader shows up on the OP5. I go through the process and wipe data. My phone now shows that it is unlocked, and I go into developer options to get advanced reboot/USB debugging/verify OEM unlock is still enabled. When I go back to fastboot, I am unable to flash TWRP. I have now seen a number of errors, usually:
FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed) or target did not report max download size, or command write failed (no error). I have tried installing 4 different versions of ADB/fastboot from different sources, and I have tried TWRP cheeseburger 46, 58, and 62. I have also tried two different USB ports and 4 different USB drivers.
Does anyone know what could cause these issues or how to get TWRP installed? Any help would be much appreciated. I really want to get rooted and get substratum running.
hmm
did you type fastboot devices to check that u got connection ? do you have another pc to try ? another usb port
edit: also try disable developer option and aplly it again with oem unlock tapp
EDIT2: if you cant still get it work you can try
Advanced settings -> Backup & reset -> Reset all settings and after that unlock bootloader
I was able to solve this by using a friend's laptop and installing the drivers and abd. Worked like a charm and I was able to flash magisk for root.
For anyone else having this issue, try another pc if you can. I'm guessing this was either an issue with adb on my machine or a problem with the device drivers.
bro do u find solutions for this
I found an actual fix for this problem. Basically I had to download Large Address Allocation Tool (LAA) which you can find online. I would link to it but I do not have the website handy.
I found this solution after soft bricking my phone by installing Oreo (I don't suggest using VPN to pretend you are in Canada. Just run the beta or wait for the US release).
Essentially, you just need to run this tool on your adb.exe. From what I understand, the issue is just that adb is not using enough RAM. I think you'll need to be running Windows 7 64bit with at least 4GB RAM. I hope this info can help someone else!

Ever since i ditched windows and went with ubuntu i have not had one single driver issue, not one single hiccup on anything. It's been two months.. I'm never going back. lol. Every time I use adb and or fastboot it always works.

Worst case you can use Qfil.

Go read the unbricking thread, it is going to take you days to read, understand, and finally unbrick it. If you are not seeing the device in the system manager of your computer ( Assuming you have a PC) then maybe you are actually bricked.
But, you own a phone that can be unbricked, no not a big deal. It can be resolved, the instructions in the unbricked tested and working thread are explicit go read it.
I create several how to's within that thread on unbricking, and have updated the links on the software tools needed. I have personally unbricked 7 leeco, and several others unbricked their phones by following the advice of everyone who contributed to the thread.
Everything you need and more is there that thread, waiting for you.
Go there get the files, read the instructions and soon you phone will work again. Do not download the qfil from the Original post...it doesn't work. I don't have the links to paste at the moment, nor the time to search for you Just use the thread search bar and type my name to get consolidated steps read through all of the posts, because its a progression.
There are three methods you can use to unbrick, the easiest method is probably Qfil, and Flash 2.0
Essentially you need the Qfil: le_zl1_qfil_ufs_fix , FlashOne2.0 files, go ahead and download prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr just in case. But it should download automatically. You need to follow the steps to get your computer ready to unbrick the phone...all in the thread instructions.
Once you do it once successfully, it will become easier with each try.

Install Google's USB ADB and Fastboot drivers.
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
Can you boot into download mode (I think it's volume down + power) and then connect to PC. After that, you should see the unknown device on device manager. Try to right-click on it and update drivers. On the next screen, select that you have drivers and you'd like to pick your own (not the Windows Update option!) Then select Manufacturer Google and Fastboot/ADB debugging option. Device might work in fastboot now, you can test by doing "fastboot devices". If that works, then you can install ROM via Fastboot.
If this doesn't work, you can revert changes by going into device manager and uninstalling the driver for that device.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Are you able to see these in screenshots? Between steps 2 and steps 3, you might need to select Android ADB or Android Device before you can see Google in the dropdown.
Maybe after these you might be able to see device in fastboot?
I've been trying for almost two weeks to unlock the bootloader on my Redmi Note 7 (Model M1901F7H) because I want to flash the official Global ROM (it has a carrier modified ROM) But Mi unlock REFUSES to recognize the phone when it's connected in fastboot mode.
I've searched the web for a solution and tried a dozen things, including following every single step on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/how-to/one-redmi-note-7-unlock-bootloader-t3890751
But I haven't been able to solve the Issue. The device is recognized by all the computers I've been using while plugged in file transfer mode, but none of them recognize the device while it's in fastboot.
Some of the things I've already done include:
Trying 3 different PCs (both AMD and intel)
Disabled signature driver enforcement
Trying USB 2.0 ports
Installing old versions of Mi Unlock
Installing Xiaomi Usb Drivers
Installing 15 seconds ADB drivers
Intalling Mi unlock directly to C://
Enabled OEM unlocking and USB debugging on the device
Linked my Mi Account to the device
Restarting the device and computer multiple times
Re installing drivers over and over again
I know this is the first and supposedly easiest step of the whole process, but I'm stuck and close to giving up (but I really don´t want to).
Can anybody please help me out?

Hello,
sorry to hear that I'll try to help you but I'll need a screenshot shot of your device manager page (assuming you are using a windows PC). Make sure that you connect your phone in fastboot mode before taking the screenshot.
Maybe it's helpfull to install a VPN, in my case flexvpn from playstore, before starting unlock- process...
I solve with an old PC...but I wait for 270h to unlock...
thank you all for your comments, I don't know exactly what happened but Mi unlock recognized the device and asked me to wait for 33 hours to finish the unlocking process.

I don't know how but today Mi unlock recognized the device and asked me to wait 33 hours before unlocking.
This is my first time flashing a device and I'm feeling a bit nervous, if it's not much to ask, could you help me out with some questions? I would be very, very grateful
Can I wait 48 hours before attempting to unlock the bootloader again just to be sure? or it has to be exactly 33 hours?
I plan to flash the global RN7 rom found on en.miui.com/a-234.html to my device (Model M1901F7H), is this the correct one?
How can I lock the bootloader again after flashing this rom? I don't want to keep it unlocked
Do I need a custom recovery? I'd like to keep the stock one if possible
Is there a way to backup my current ROM? In case I need to issue a warranty claim

These stuffs seems quite tough and tense at first but its quite easy and safe if you understand what you are doing...and yes I'll answer them one by one
1)The wait period shown by the unlocker is the minimum time you would have to wait to unlock your bootloader so any time after that wait period is fine(But is a chance that even after the wait period the unlocker would give you some error if that happens PM me or quote me)
2)The device code name for Redmi note 7 is lavender so just flash the rom made for lavender I'll give the link to download the stable rom https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-STABLE-RELEASES/MIUIv10/
From the above link download the latest version for HMnote7 ,in my opinion European is better than the original one but best rom so far is mokee.
3)You can lock your bootloader using fastboot commands or by flashing the device with miui using Flash tools...but that is not necessary open bootloader is better
4)Yes you need a custom recovery and after flashing the rom from your link the custom recovery will be replaced by the one given in the rom(Don't flash that one! Use the one i gave you if you still want miui but if you like stock then go for mokee)
5)No need to backup it is available online and it can be flashed using flash tools also doing these things and keeping the bootloader unlocked won't void your warranty so there is nothing to loose warranty will be give as per your purchase invoice date! Also if you backup that rom using a custom recovery then it can be use as failsafe if you get into a bootloop or something..but that rom is not mandatory any roms bqckup would do just fine
If you still have doubts I'll be happy to clarify ?

These stuffs seems quite tough and tense at first but its quite easy and safe if you understand what you are doing...and yes I'll answer them one by one
1)The wait period shown by the unlocker is the minimum time you would have to wait to unlock your bootloader so any time after that wait period is fine(But is a chance that even after the wait period the unlocker would give you some error if that happens PM me or quote me)
2)The device code name for Redmi note 7 is lavender so just flash the rom made for lavender I'll give the link to download the stable rom https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-STABLE-RELEASES/MIUIv10/
From the above link download the latest version for HMnote7 ,in my opinion European is better than the original one but best rom so far is mokee.
3)You can lock your bootloader using fastboot commands or by flashing the device with miui using Flash tools...but that is not necessary open bootloader is better
4)Yes you need a custom recovery and after flashing the rom from your link the custom recovery will be replaced by the one given in the rom(Don't flash that one! Use the one i gave you if you still want miui but if you like stock then go for mokee)

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer all of my questions! You've been very helpful.
I've been thinking about what you wrote but I think I wanna install the official global ROM via Mi Flash. If I select the "clear all and lock" do I risk bricking my device? That's my main concern.
I didn't mention it earlier, but the only reason I want to unlock the Bootloader is so I can flash the official global Rom, (my carrier takes ages to update the rom they install, and it's also full of bloatware) this is my main phone (less than a month old), and while I understand that keeping the bootloader open and using custom ROMS could enhance my user experience, for the time being I want to keep things simple and safe. Maybe in the near future I'll start tinkering with custom rom and recoveries.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I don't know exactly what did the trick, but I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash a global ROM. I've encountered some issues with it but that's another topic.
Once again, thank you all!

I've been trying for almost two weeks to unlock the bootloader on my Redmi Note 7 (Model M1901F7H) because I want to flash the official Global ROM (it has a carrier modified ROM) But Mi unlock REFUSES to recognize the phone when it's connected in fastboot mode.
I've searched the web for a solution and tried a dozen things, including following every single step on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/how-to/one-redmi-note-7-unlock-bootloader-t3890751
But I haven't been able to solve the Issue. The device is recognized by all the computers I've been using while plugged in file transfer mode, but none of them recognize the device while it's in fastboot.
Some of the things I've already done include:
Trying 3 different PCs (both AMD and intel)
Disabled signature driver enforcement
Trying USB 2.0 ports
Installing old versions of Mi Unlock
Installing Xiaomi Usb Drivers
Installing 15 seconds ADB drivers
Intalling Mi unlock directly to C://
Enabled OEM unlocking and USB debugging on the device
Linked my Mi Account to the device
Restarting the device and computer multiple times
Re installing drivers over and over again
I know this is the first and supposedly easiest step of the whole process, but I'm stuck and close to giving up (but I really don´t want to).
Can anybody please help me out?

I have finally understood the problem. What you need to do is not install the ADB Drivers separately, but you need to check for the unknown Android device that is shown under the USB devices when you connect the device (via USB port).
You have to update that driver with the ADB Drivers.
That will only solve the problem of the fastboot detection

Can you give detailed instructions on how to "update that driver with the ADB Drivers"? After installing the 15 secs ADB drivers and Xiaomi drivers, my Note 7 is still being recognized as an "Android" device with the yellow caution sign.
Hi,
As in the title i've tried to install DivestOs and everything was fine until the relocking of the bootloader (very likely skipped a step).
Now i'm trying to use Msmdownload tool to flash stock rom and reflash DivestOs after that. My hardware is a laptop with usb 3.0 ports OS: Fedora 36 (which i used to flash divestos) and a windows 10 VM ( i use this for msmdownload tool). The phone error says "your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot".
But i continue to get the "sahara communication error", i tried to follow guides and tutorials but it doesn't work. I tried to reinstall qualcomm, oneplus drivers, Windows 10 VM and i also tried the volume up (+) and power button trick. I also tried different msmdownload tool for oneplus 6T. Is there a solution or should i just bring it to a repair shop? Is there a linux msmdownload tool alternative?
Thanks for any help
Have you tried simply unlocking it first? The unlock ability won't go away once locked.
As for flashing via VM, it works, but you need to pass a USB host controller into the VM as there are multiple VID/PID pairs used for EDL.
Hi, thanks for answering, i tried to just unlock it as said on the official site,( i also asked the dev that created the rom). So i should find the drivers for usb controller for windows? Thanks again
