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 One is updated and the other outdated.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 Atlast i gave it a try with my outdated windows 10 pc.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.

Unable to hack Asus Zenfone Laser 2 [ZE550KL - Z00L - Z00LD]

Hi to all.
I landed on XDA because I am not able to hack my Asus Zenfone Laser 2 dual-sim (ZE550KL, which seems to be also called as Z00L or Z00LD... I don't know why... ?!? ). Actually I'm very new on smartphone hacking, so I did my best recently to understand what "rooting", "recovery", "brick" etc mean.
I tried to enter this world because my phone gets gradually very slow as I use it and so I supposed that erasing the pre-installed applications and overclocking it would help, possibly installing a lighter and more performing custom rom. In order to do this I read that in short I have to unlock the boot loader, root the phone and then eventually install a custom rom. In fact I suppose that getting root privileges should already do the job by keeping the original rom, unistall all unwanted apps and eventually overclocking it. Is that correct?
However, the problems I found on my way are the following two:
I've not been able to follow those procedures on Linux. In detail, I'm not able to use "fastboot boot" instruction because it gets stuck on "waiting for any device". The device is listed and allowed when running "adb devices", the boot had been unlocked previously, the phone is in debug mode etc... but the problem is still there despite I've been trying with both the adb package included in the repositries and the one downloaded from the related google page. I've been told it may be a matter of USB drivers, so I also installed the android studio package thinking it would help, but I was wrong. I'm quite confused on this, despite I do hope I can hack my phone using my favourite operating system (I'm a Linux user since 2006). If you do not feel like helping on this then I will try on Windows.
After trying the same procedures on Windows 10, I realised that the Android Usb drivers released by Google did not work. I had to install the proprietary ASUS USB Drivers from the official website and only then I was able to overcome on Windows the same "waiting for any device" I had experienced on Linux. However, the phone "bricks". I suppose this should be the technical term used in this field to tell that the phone gets stuck for hours on the boot animation. I tried several times to reboot it, but each time the same story.
Maybe the problem on Linux is that I do not have the proper Android Device Usb drivers installed. In this case, how to solve the problem taking into account that ASUS only released the drivers for Windows?
RECAP: I have my phone bricked now (Android is unable to reboot, but I can do access both to the Power+VolumeUP menu (by the way, what's the name of this menu? Fast boot?) and the Power+VolumeDOWN menu (by the way, what's the name of this menu? Recovery boot?)
So sorry for the long story.
Hope you can help.
Thanks for your attention and best regards.
Uhm... no replies till now?
i dont know how you get this kind of trouble, maybe try other computer? , im using wondows 10, download small package of of fastboot driver and adb driver, flash twrp using fastboot command. all done. then i make full backup using twrp, next flash magisk .now i have root access, any problem or bootloop i just restore the full backup that work.
---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------
i see a lot of this zen2 laser got bricked on this general forum , you should read some more if that could help
When I had this device, I remember booting a temporary recovery TWRP and rooted it in that recovery. Then once I got rooted, I installed TWRP app and installed a permanent recovery from within the TWRP app, which needed root of course. Then I got everything working.
You can try booting on a temporary TWRP using fastboot then flash supersu or magisk or whatever rooting client you want. Though, I think you need an unlocked bootloader. I'm sure there's a guide around here somewhere
I'm using a Z00T and just installed LineageOS yesterday using Windows 10, following a guide by Android Authority and LineageOS.
Volume Up + Power = Fastboot
Volume Down + Power = Recovery
Sounds like you can get into Fastboot, so I'm wondering if maybe you can use it to flash the recovery image??? (I'm not a dev in any form; try this at own risk)
I'm assuming you unlocked the bootloader already...
In the directory where all your images are, perhaps try flashing the recovery with the following, where RECOVERY.img is whatever you may have renamed the TWRP image to be:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
After it's finished flashing, turn off the phone, then reboot into recovery mode with Volume Down + Power.
Something Similar happened with my phone and looking for answer
Hi All,
I'm new to this but do some hands on reading these forums. Recently i don't know how but my phone continuously boot into Fast-Boot mode. If I try to push some zip file as mentioned i'm getting error related to partition. "failed to write partition."
Can someone help me out with this.
Thank in advance.

I'm using Z00T and Windows 10. Had no issues using the Android Authority and LineageOS guides.
These guides are great but I don't want to lose my data by formatting my bootlooping device, and the drivers asus gives do not work with windows 10, the adb drivers work fine but the asus drivers do not.

Cannot unlock bootloader, phone not recognized in fastboot (RN7)

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?

A usb 2.0 hub did the trick for me, using a usb 3.0 only laptop. It did not work with my usual usb3 hub.

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 ?

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 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.

(SOLVED) Urgent ! My OP8P is dead I think, stuck Fastboot

Hello everyone !
I'm new on this forum but I really need your help. I tried to fix my mistake all day long yesterday (9am to 2am non stop).
So, basically, I have a OnePlus 8 Pro, Model IN2023.
I had OOS 11 updated. I tried to install OOS 12 Bêta and I did but I had a indian version so a lot of bugs.
I wanted to go back to OOS 11 but it was impossible because I was now in an indian version.
I tried with MyApplication2 to local upgrade and downgrade as recommand in Internet.
I tried to unlock bootloader and the following steps but here my problem:
I unlocked my bootloader then I misclick and I locked again my bootloader.
Then my phone just crashed and put this message:
"The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot."
So, I forced to turn off the phone and try to go in EDL mode but:
1. ADB doesn't work anymore
2. Fastboot work fine
3. EDL mode is impossible
So, my bootloader is unlocked again. My phone is stuck on Fastboot mode:
Fastboot mode
Product_name - kona
Variant - SM8 UFS
Bootloader version -
Baseband version -
Serial number - eed52b71
Secure boot - yes
Device state - unlocked
I used the official firmware on OnePlus website, I used Python and Payload_dumper.py to have the .img from the .bin of the official firmware.
I tried to flash all the images, I tried to install TWRP, I tried almost everything I found but still stuck in Fastboot. Recovery mode doesn't work.
I tried to boot, to flash, to do everything I could.
I also tried MSM Download Tool but nothing appears inside.
Now, when I connect my phone, it's with a cable in USB-C but 3.0, not 2.0. Maybe that's the problem ?
When I plug my phone, in Device Manager, I have a "!" but the phone is recognized under
"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6). When I click on it, it says (sorry, I'm about to translate from french):
"Windows can not verify the numeric signature for the drives required for this peripheric. It is possible that a material ou software modification has been installed a corrupted file or with an incorrect signature, or it is a malware from an unknown source (Code 52)"
Please help me, contact me on Whatsapp, or here. Let's do this in direct.
Btw, I have a Macbook Pro to do all this. I used also Windows with Bootcamp.
So... I finally did it. 2 days to do it.
I asked a friend to lend his computer (Windows).
So my phone turned into EDL Mode immediatly without trying to do so.
I plugged into my MacBook under Windows (Bootcamp) and launch MSM Download Tool under an old version and it worked.
I tried first with the latest but I had "param preload failed" so I found a good article MAGIC and tada.
SUCCESS. My OnePlus 8 Pro works better than never.
Don't install OxygenOS 12, it's really bad.

I tried first with the latest but I had "param preload failed" so I found a good article MAGIC and tada.
SUCCESS. My OnePlus 8 Pro works better than never.
Don't install OxygenOS 12, it's really bad.

"Sahara communication error" on Msmdownload tool with Hard bricked Oneplus 6T locked bootloader with custom rom (allowed on DivestOs)

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
