Hi,
I have previously flashed many roms and changed my recovery from TWRP to Lineage OS. Now I'm trying to go back to TWRP and for some reason whenever I try to flash the img file in fastboot mode there's the following error; "FAILED (remote: 'device is locked. Cannot flash images')"
I have OEM unlocking enabled. USB debugging is enabled. I tried locking and unlocking the bootloader. Nothing seems to help. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I am having the exact same issue! Did you ever found a solution to this issue?

Yeah. It would be really great if you help me out with
it.
What is that
If you want to flash a custom rom, you don't need to unlock bootloader for it.
You can flash custom recovery using fastboot mode, after which you can install custom roms.

I did the same method as you are telling. I was able to install twrp through fastboot successfully(without unlock the bootloader) and installed custom rom and gapps successfully too. But when I reboot my device after installation I stuck in boot logo every time. I waited more than 30mins but nothing happened. No matter which rom I tried but I had to face the same problem ?. I don't know how to get rid of this issue.
And also my twrp showing an error which is -failed to mount/factory (invalid argument).
I think this is the reason why I'm facing bootloop.

I also unlocked mine using the same method that you have used. And successfully unlocked my bootloader. Then I installed twrp using fastboot. But my twrp showing an error which is -failed to mount/factory (invalid argument).
Then I successfully installed custom rom and gapps ( I wiped cache after installation) but when I reboot my phone I stuck in boot logo. I waited more than 30mins but nothing happened.
I tried so many roms but had to face same problem.
Is the twrp errors the reason of my bootloop issue??

Refer to this asus zentalk link.
flash twrp again and make sure to keep your volume down button pressed before entering the "FASTBOOT REBOOT" command.
Clear ur data after flashing twrp, flash trustzone fix also if you're getting error 7, install ur desired custom rom. It should work!!
I did the same a couple of days ago, it worked for me.

To install ROM you need a unlocked bootloader , screw twrp for now.
I'm currently on lollipop stock firmware with phone rooted and bootloader unlocked. I have also flashed latest Twrp recovey.
But here is the problem, i downloaded Resurrection remix latest version and tried to flash it, but error 7 came up. I bypassed this error by editing the updater script ( i followed a tutorial ). Now when i flashed the rom it says its sucessful but when I select boot to system it goes to fastboot mode. Im a noob so please dont be harsh to me.
PLEASE HELP ME FAST
THANKS

No, but to be sure go to fastboot the type:
fastboot oem device-info
if you see this -->> (bootloader)Device unlocked: true
then you are still unlocked.

Thanks man it worked and i am able to flash Resurection remix.
Thanks a lot again
Glad I was able to help. Warning, flashing can be addictive! And make sure to have a nandroid back-up.
WRT the original post, I tried the same procedure but after having errors i flashed the twrp with adb through cmd:fastboot flash boot boot.img . And now it is showing no OS available and shows that it is not rooted in the twrp recovery. Now it is still not flashing the rom and showing error and now i have no idea what to do. So, please give me instructions on how to repair my asus zenfone 2 laser ze550kl. I did all this on MM.
If you have TWRP 3025 then you can flash any custom ROM. Try to redownload the ROM, maybe it's just a bad download. What error did you see?

so your bootloader was looked when you tried to "update" rom?
if so thats your issue. you can try to connect to pc and put phone in fastboot mode and unlock bootloader.

No they cant. Fastboot oem unlock only works with the T-mobile variant (unlock works without a key but is missing flash commands) and the us unlocked us996 can unlock by flashing a key from lg but can actually flash roms.
@uccfar is using the term rom when meaning stock firmware, and if this didnt happen when rooted or trying to root it could easily be a hardware issue.

Just wondering, how did you fix your issue?
Thank you.
Has anyone successfully relocked the bootloader on a A2017G? I've tried flashing various versions of Nougat and now with the new official Oreo and every time I try booting to bootloader (fastboot) the phone just boots into system. I'm on full stock system with stock recovery. I flashed a B12 EDL from LOS 15.1 to then update to the new Oreo.
Everything else works fine, the drivers are correct I simply just cannot access the bootloader, no matter which rom I flash.
Hi, on A2017G I succeeded with Axon 7 toolkit, option "bootloader lock"

I flashed a fastboot EDL unlock that I found here on XDA and then I managed to lock the bootloader with OEM lock. However, I bricked my phone and couldn't boot into OS but it wasn't a big issue since I just flashed a B12 EDL afterwards and from there got an OTA update to Oreo with the bootloader locked.
Hi there, let me explain...
I f*ckup re-installing the latest Oreo stock fastboot image onto my Lineage 16 December firmware, and guess what, without paying attention I choose "Flash all and lock".
So now I am bootlooping, I cannot flash anything (twrp/rom or other) through fastboot.
I can EDL flash, but since December Pie beta brought us rollback protection, flashing the latest stock Oreo fastboot with EDL image won't fix my problem.
I guess my one and only solution is to flash a Pie Fastboot image through edl. I tried with this one (https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-download-mi-a1-android-pie-update/) but unfortunately mi flash tool gives my this error: "programmer file not found", I looked into the " flash_all.bat provided" and everything look fine...
So I am seeking you help. And maybe someone over here might be able to provide me a stock pie fastboot image?
Thanks in advance, cheers
I also faced this problem bro!!!
I enterd in fastboot mode and boot into twrp recovery then flashed only linegeOs 15.1 that means 8.1 then my mobile boots into system ?
i was also searching for pie fastboot image,,, but right now its not availabe,, so can you try this.. i am also using this pie https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/twrp-stock-8-1-0-t3856328
@Manojyaligar @taran181
Thanks for replying, my problem is I cannot flash anything through Fastboot as my phone's bootloader is actually locked.
So the only way I have to flash anything is through EDL, and I don't think that you can boot into TWRP from EDL.

You can try flashing a nougat fastboot image. That might allow you to boot up and enable unlocking the bootloader.
