Any answer please :/

just call the provider they are your last help

Use the PUK code your provider has given you. If they had. Else you're out of luck...

Hi there
By PIN, you mean lockscreen passcode lock? In that case, you'll have to factory reset the phone. Boot into recovery and you'll be able to factory reset the device.
If you mean a SIM Card PIN, you'll have to contact your network provider, who will be able to provide you with a PUK code to unlock the SIM Card.

Your last hope is maybe a RUU

Try poweroff while connection to PC instead of reboot. that usually puts me in recovery.

First you'll need to find the correct RUU for your region and carrier. Then you'll have to relock your bootloader. To do this, simply boot into fastboot and use: oem lock to lock the bootloader. Now you should be able to run your chosen RUU

Yes a RUU will bring you in Stock version again
From HTC

Press and hold vol - when restart your DHD. It will reboot to bootloader, when in bootloader you can use Vol +/- to go to Recovery, wipe data, wipe cache and reboot. (If you have root and custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)

Now I've got a BIG problem..

Can someone help me? I resetted my phone, and unlocked again with the registry key for Unlock. Then I synced my phone again with my PC and now I can't install anything on my Phone.
Help!!
Sorry for my bad english. I'm from Switzerland
It's normal that after the sync the phone relocks itself again.
You have to unlock it again with chevron and put it into flight mode before syncing again.
This should solve the problem.

Yeah I know that but I used this Code:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
Since I installed the "Remove Sideload Limit"-App I can't install anything on my LG. I also used the Registry Key for Max unsigned Apps. I resetted my phone yesterday, unlocked with the registry Key with MFG-Menu, Prevent Relock with MFG, and I tried to install some Homebrews. And I can Relock again with Chevron, but I can't Unlock it again!
You might start with telling us what your device actually is, maybe there is some custom ROM out there which is already unlocked.
I've got a LG Optimus 7. But I didn't updated the SDK Live or something. i'm going to download them now, and I^m going to tell you if I still have the problem. Thx!

problem with arc s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello guys , I just have a problems with my xperia arc s .
my phone doesn't work any 3g network and i know my area cover it and my sim card too i tried my sim card on other phone and it worked probably after searching i found the issue in my arc s rom so i tried to change to any other stock roms but nothing happened , tried to dial this code *#*#4636#*#* and make the network type automatic and 3g preferred but nothing happened as well .
so i decided to change my rom to any custom rom i tired the "xperia ultimate HD" & " Viper " but same problem so i tried to install miui and cyamond rom but i failed cuz i have locked bootloader, and i couldn't unlocked it.
i dialed this code *#*#service#*#* and bootloader unlocked allowed = yes .
so i tried the official method from unlocked sony website but every time its saying oem failed " I did put my phone in fast mode and the blue light appeared the cable was good cuz it said getvar = 0.3 "
note: i used only the first digits from my emei number and all drivers were installed"
i tried the s1tool method but it's not supporting my arc s it support just arc .
i tried to setool2 but every time it says "smart card not found"
i know the problem in my kernel so i couldn't change it cuz i have locked bootloader .
i just want either 3g network work or unlock my bootloder

Have you tried pc companion ? If you don't have unlock your bootloader i think you can restore the phone with it. After that, you could loose the root, but maybe 3g functionality could return to be ok.

Then you have only to try to unlock the bootloaader through Flashtools, deserves at least one more try . To do this, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/issues/guide-beginners-how-to-unlock-t1971363
I recommend you read carefully!
If the procedure proves successful, you can flash a stok rom sony and try to see if everything is back to normal.

Pixel XL Stuck, Can't even get into recovery mode PLEASE HELP ME

It is stuck on a screen with the battery. I can get to bootloader mode but cannot get into recovery. Bootloader is locked... Please help
Basically I had the bootloader unlocked and it was rooted. I unrooted the phone and then I locked the bootloader and I am here now. Just wanted to make it go back to stock.
Is it a carrier model or a play store

There probably isn't, if you've altered system and relock and toggle OEM unlocking off in dev. options you get bricked.

Did you try:
fastboot flashing unlock
Since you only relocked, you unlikely toggled "OEM unlock"?!
If it fails, I think you are SOL. Maybe someone with a proper solution will chime in. Otherwise, you have to RMA your device...
Good luck...

Hey... Go into recovery and perform a factory reset.
Reboot bootloader and flash stock firmware. You could flash both slots to be sure your device is completely clean.
I wrote a how-to for someone having another issue. You.can follow this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71849370&postcount=28
When you are finished with flashing, reboot to be sure your system boot properly and your phone works as it should...
From here you can reboot into bootloader and issue:
fastboot flashing lock
If It was me I'd leave it unlocked though... Or at least OEM unlock enabled and ADB debugging ON. Since Google tend to release messed up OTA, you can always unlock the bootloader if needed.
But if you wish you can also disable the OEM unlock.
Good luck...

I'm pretty inexperienced with this kind of stuff and so you might have to explain it a bit further than what that link says. I did fastboot reboot bootloader in terminal but it can't find my device. Also I couldnt get into recovery when it was bricked so I probably still can't

Hey...
You boot into bootloader when the Device is powered off
Just like in your video: with power + volume down
You can see infos regarding:
Bootloader
Radio
S/N
DRAM
Boot-slot=
Etc...
This is the bootloader :good:
From here, unzip the google image you have downloaded, open the folder and from here run the flash-all script. Let your device reboot. Power it down, boot into bootloader again with power + volume down. Change active slot as I described in the link I gave you previously. Run the same flash-all again... Done!
Just for safety, remove your Google account before you continue. You'll add it again later...
Good luck...

Hey... Flash both slots... Just to be sure both are clean and nothing problematic​ remains on your device before locking your bootloader!
It could brick installing an OTA or whatever. Better restart 100% clean. :good:
Cheers...
Just flash the flash-all, relock and call it a day. Then you'll be fully stock and locked. I would however recommend rebooting once before locking to make sure its all good.

Ah but to change from China to global ROM or the other way requires unlocked boot loader...
Otherwise stuff like this happens.
The boot loader can be relocked again after the process.
Since the boot loader is locked there is less chance to solve the problem as you won't be able to flash twrp or use fastboot to flash firmware to the phone.
Another solution will be needed
That exactly happened to me.
I unbricked my phone with testpoint method.
It's easy procedure but you will have to open up your phone..
I Did it and never opened a phone before, its about open it and link 2 dots with a wire or something, and Then it goes to download mode and allows you to use mi flash and flash mi6. I recommend chinese developer rom (it will allow you to unlock bootloader afterwards)
Watch this russian guy do it, he makes it easy it took hours for me just search "mi6 testpoint" on YouTube
I got it fixed thank you guys

Unlocked bootloader. (Oem unlock) now my pixel so won t recognize sim.

So I followed instructions on how to unlock bootloader on my pixel xl. And now I'm unable to connect to my network. I put the sim card in and it doesn't recognize it. I've tried multiple times to restart phone with no luck. So I did this last night and the only solution was to hard reset the phone once more. But that untenable that oem unlock function! So I unlocked it once more just now and I'm in the same situation! Should I proceed by unlocking oem and than do a hard reset? I'm not really sure how to proceed from here if someone could give me some insight i would really really appreciate it!!!

Are you saying that it isn't recognizing your SIM, and saying there is no SIM inserted, or are you saying that it's simply not applying the right APN settings and so you can't get cellular data and such
hi , its easy , just remove your sim card , and flash the phone again
Once you OEM unlock your phone a hard reset should not relock your phone. The only way your phone should relock is by using issuing the command OEM lock or OEM flashing lock.
There is an issue with some phones and systems where the "allow OEM unlocking" check box will come unchecked, this doesn't mean the phone is relocked though.
I got it figured out thanks! Now I'm just trying to install twrp but I'm not having much luck lol

You have to boot to TWRP from fastboot with the TWRP image file and then flash TWRP from within that recovery.
