Device Status "locked" in Fastboot even after OEM unlocking enabled - Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers

Just bought a used Pixel 4 to try and flash lineage 17.1 but can't get OEM unlocking to actually work. The enable switch is in the on position and adb recognizes the device but when I try to enter fastboot either by adb reboot bootloader or volume down + power on, the device status comes up in green text "locked." The phone is a G020I and came to me running android 11 with a build number RP1A.20005.004. Is this too new of a phone and wont be able to be flashed? From what I understand, if the bootloader stays locked, I can't even flash a factory image of android 10, correct?

Fastboot commands wont work. adb commands will but as soon as I try adb reboot bootloader to get to the point where I can enter fastboot flashing unlock, I get the result in the pics below.

Ok, in trying to do that, I get the message from windows that their driver is the most up to date and won't let me install from the file I try to choose. See the pics below.

I had the same issue, updating the USB drivers rc13 did the trick.

LInk for that update?

Here you go: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/google-android-usb-drivers/

Finally got it. Windows had to recognize it as a generic device in order to force a driver. If it saw it as Pixel 4 it would stop. Now that I have lineage flashed on it, just need to figure out how to get mms to work. Apparently that is a common problem too.

[SOLVED] Z1 not showing up in Linux ADB devices

hi,
trying to flash the breadcrust recovery using my linux pc, but the Z1 doesn't appear in the list of devices when running adb devices. Image attached. Normally I would get a request to accept the RSA key for a trusted pc when enabling usb debug. But I don't get this option.
- Adb tools are loaded and working on my linux laptop
- My nexus 7 responds to ADB devices and shows up ok
- tried on wifes windows laptop with adb/sdk tools loaded and no joy there too
- i have developer USB debug options enabled, i've tripple checked this
could it be the cable? I'm using the one which came with the phone, so that should be ok?!!
cheers
SOLUTION - I ran this One Plus Two script modified with the Z1 device ID and now I can see my device in adb devices and interact with it. I get the SHA screen to allow access and can run commands from linux terminal. YAY!
See the attachments for script.
I think it´s a driver fault. Did u install them in windows?

ADB doesn't work for me, too. I work around this problem by booting into recovery (simultaneously press Vol+ and Vol- and Power until phone vibrates) and choose "Boot to bootloader" from there. After rooting I installed "Power Toggles" from Play Store and use the toggle to reboot to recovery or bootloader.
By the way, when I boot into recovery, I'm able to ADB sideload. So I don't think there's a driver issue.

ok some progress.....
got the trusted device RSA screen to appear on my wifes windows pc. i could then run adb devices and see the device.
I could run adb reboot bootloader, but the device doesn't boot into fastboot, just reboots as normal!
I could also hold down up/down volume buttons and get into the bootloader, but again the device isn't picked by any fastboot oem checks for unlocking!!
arrrgh!!!
You'll have to add -i switch followed by the device ID to your fastboot command. I don't have it at hand, so just read the TWRP thread.
ok! Some progress...ish.
running "adb reboot bootloader"command in windows worked when I switched Cyanogen recovery updates off in developer options. The Z1 reboots into bootloader.
Running "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem get-device-info" returns nothing just "....."
So I tried "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock" an error returns cannot unlock use command "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go" which works. The phone wipes data and reboots back into OS.
I re-enable the developer options and adb debug. and reboot into bootloader
Run "fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery z1.twrp.2.8.7.0.By.Breadcrust-UPDATE3.img" - some time stats are retunred and OKAY message. But when I boot into recovery it's still the cyanogen stock recovery. not TWRP.
weird!
Your commands are simply wrong, thats why they don´t work.
It is:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem device-info
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go
Run "fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery z1.twrp.2.8.7.0.By.Breadcrust-UPDATE3.img" - some time stats are retunred and OKAY message. But when I boot into recovery it's still the cyanogen stock recovery. not TWRP.

Flashing does NOT work on the international version, you have to boot into it directly from fastboot.
fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot z1.twrp.2.8.7.0.By.Breadcrust-UPDATE3.img
Should be correct instead of the flash command.

What made the change? I was able to see the RSA screen only once, but after device restored to defaults I can't get it back. same drivers installed, and it appears in the device manager.
I honestly don't know, it just worked after many attempts. I read somewhere about USB 3 ports with Linux so might be the same for windows?

It's an USB 3.0 issue. Plug the phone into an USB 2.0 port, or an USB 2.0 hub plugged into an USB 3.0 port and it will magically start working. God knows why this is the case...
Ironically, fastboot works fine even on USB 3.0...
For to be able to boot (not flash) the TWRP recovery you shouldn't need to unlock bootloader. Am I right?

Okay, I have found out that it is impossible to boot from TWRP as log as the bootloader is locked. It just took me 2 hours to setup my phone again after unlock.
Have a look at this thread, I am going to give it a try later.

This did the trick on Linux (Ubuntu):
- run on terminal "sudo gedit ~/.android/adb_usb.ini"
- put "0x2b4c" in
- run on terminal "adb kill-server" and "adb start-server"
And run the fastboot commands with "sudo".

My lenovo a6000 is hard bricked. PC not detecting it.

Hello all, I have a Lenovo a6000 smartphone. It was owned by my friend. She had a problem with the android os, so she went to a local store and the there it got hard bricked. Now if I turn it on it only vibrates once. no backlight or any picture. If I press and hold vol- and power buttons together LCD backlight turns on but no display. then it goes off and then again turns on. PC does not detect it. Can anyone help me getting it out from this state?

You need to have adb and fastboot drivers for your phone to correctly get detected.
Here's the LINK FOR QFIL TUTORIAL. You'll need another set of drivers called as the QCOM drivers which are mentioned in the tutorial from the above link.
Hope this helps.
I already have installed the drivers. Still not detected. Even the device manager does not show a device is connected

You should try changing the usb cable you are using. Or maybe that guy in the local repair shop didn't put the sub PCB board back correctly.

Lenovo A6000 doesn't come with a locked bootloader B-l
If you can boot into fastboot then you should flash twrp from it depending on the current android version of the device. If it had been on kitkat flash this TWRP v2.8.6.0 or if it has been updated to lollipop then flash the latest TWRP v3.1.0.
For this you need to first have the fastboot drivers installed and also the minimal adb and fastboot tool. Then place the required TWRP in that folder, better rename the file to 'recovery.img' and then in the CMD window which you open by Shift + Right Click first type
Code:
fastboot devices
To check whether your device is detected by the tool and haa got drivers installed correctly.
Later, if successful​, type in
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you'll have TWRP recovery installed.
Then flash any ROM on the device using it.

Yeah bro I'm 100% positive. I think unknown command is displayed when you flash the wrong version of recovery.
You can also​ try

Sometimes only this works which temporarily boots into the custom recovery.

Can't flash factory image : waiting for device

Hi, I've my new essential.
I can't flash a factory image, my device is dectected in fastboot, I have unlocked the bootloader, but when I click on flash-all in the image files, I have "waiting for device". I can't understand why because ALL OTHER COMMANDS have worked : fasboot flashing unlock, USB debugging, fastboot devices...
What can I do ? (In the control panel, device is detected without a yellow mark or something else. Everything should be fine.

Still seems like a driver issue. While in bootloader, you could confirm this by trying the command "fastboot devices". If nothing shows then check your device manager. If you are seeing Mata, it's your issue. For some reason every few times I plug in, it'll default back to that and have to manually update the driver to the bootloader driver. Just choose from list of installed drivers as the update method.
Also, if you have USB 2 ports, try one of those. I couldn't get anything to flash when I had it plugged in one of my USB 3 ports.
Could be cable issue, USB port issue, driver issue or you can try updating your adb setup etc... I used the Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Mine was out of date and wouldn't recognize device in fastboot after the Oreo sideload.
Works perfectly with the Essential official drivers in Win8.1Pro now.
The cable is brand new by anker, and works perfectly. Drivers and adb are updated.

Something that was odd that may help (assumed it was just my environment setup). I had adb installed to C:\adb and only way fastboot will work consistently for me is to run commands from that directory. Could be unrelated but thought I would mention it.

Try copying fastboot to the folder that has the flash all.bat
What operating system?
Where did you get your driver's?
Reason I ask is at first I had driver's auto install from a Samsung device that I used previously. Caused an issue where it wouldn't start the fastboot process and device got stuck at first step.

It's always recommended to use the adb/fastboot provided by Essential (gets installed along with the Windows driver). From the error message, it looks like you are using a different fastboot executable. If you have more than one adb/fastboot package installed on your PC, make sure to use the one from Essential. You can see the path to the executable by running "fastboot --version".

Developer otpion and OEM unlocking are off? Why? That shouldnt be needed.
Download current build from link provide above ^^(current build)
extract the files to your "adb/fastboot/platform tools folder on pc"
connect the phone to computer using usb cable.
Open adb on computer
type adb reboot bootloader
when in bootloader verify fastboot works
"fastboot devices"
if your device shows up double click the flash all script for your OS.

Fastboot mode issue in MiA1

Hi.
Recently I decided to flash lineage os 15.1 on my MiA1
For that I have downgrade to Android nougat.
After downgrading I booted my device.
After setting up device I booted device in fastboot mode to follow further steps like flashing TWRP and all but the problem is my device goes in fastboot mode and it is not identified by abd and after that it is automatically getting restarted and is not holding in fastboot mode.
Please help??
Odd issue. What are you using to flash? If you are using XiaoMiFlash.exe, you'll want to try the (THIS WILL REMOVE ALL YOUR DATA) "clean all" option. Please note that this removes all your data.
I have used MiFlash tool for this and now My device automatically reboot from fastboot mode so I am not able to use adb as well to flash rom or twrp also Now MiFlash tool is not recognising the device.

It should boot if you've fully flashed it and cleaned the user data partition. If it still isn't, you'll want to wait for other members with more experience in bricks to chime in.

Oh. If it's booting up fine, then you shouldn't be worried too much.
If it keeps restarting in Fastboot mode, it could be a driver issue which is preventing your PC from recognizing your device and vice versa. I'm on Windows 10 which installs drivers automatically so I've never had experience with it.

I think that's expected behavior? If it doesn't recognize itself being connected to a device, it'll exit fastboot mode.
I think you need to connect it to the USB cable and into your PC for it to not restart/power off.

So do you know how can I help myself out?
wait.. what exacly did you do when you booted into fastboot? did you type "adb devices" or "fastboot devices"? also, try rebooting into fastboot mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader" in cmd, with your phone plugged into your pc, and with the proper platform-tools installed. it shouldn't really go away from fastboot mode like that.

Hy man, I know basic of adb and I use cmd "adb devices"
My device is recognised when it is on.
I can also give various cmd like boot in recovery or fastboot mode or reboot and the device follow the instructions.
Please see the video that I've shared.
Once fastboot mode is on the device is automatically restarted in about 10 to 15 sec and within this time MiFlash tool or adb cmd prompt bot does not recognise my device.
I have tried to flash OTA via adb side load but it is showing error.
Help me with your input!

Your device doesn't get detected in your CMD prompt when it's in fastboot AND you type "fastboot devices"?
If it doesnt then you might have flashed something incorrectly.
Also, make sure to have your android drivers up to date in your pc. It's very, very likely that you don't have them installed on your PC, or they are outdated. See this: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html

I have faced this issue. Yesterday i dirty flashed a custom rom. but i forgot how to dirty flash. i just simply flashed the rom and restarted the phone. it was mandatory to flash custom recovery and gapps after flashing a rom dirtily or normally. but i didn't. After the reboot completed, i remembered that i didn't flashed the twrp and gapps. So, i go back recovery mod, guessed i could flash twrp now. But i didn't see any custom recovery on my phone. But the phone boots, and i can use the phone. Still, i'm on that phone, while i'm typing this comment. i didn't lost my data cause i flashed dirtily. But the problem is, as i didn't flashed gapps or magisk (for root access), now i can't use google apps like, play store, and more. As i don't have root access on my phone so, i can't run flasify, to flash custom recovery. neither i can run other apps that need root. As i didn't flash custom recovery, now i can't flash gapps, magisk and whatever that needs a custom recovery.
I told some rom porter about the matter. They told me to flash stock rom. So, i was trying to flash stock rom. but flashing stock rom requires a fastboot mode. But my fastboot logo doesn't appear and it's blank. I told this to a rom porter. But he said, He doesn't know about that and he can't help.
