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...

It just says waiting for device and hangs there... I don't think it recognizes the phone
EDIT: IT WORKED!!!!!
It wouldnt recognize it and I ran fastboot continue and it just hanged there but I went into the bootloader mode and for like a quarter of a second it recognized it and forced it to boot

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.

OEM Locked, and Device is corrupt. Unfixable?

So, long story short I recently decided to try and root my oneplus7t I unfortunately made some mistakes and somehow corrupted some files. I read elsewhere in the forum that I could download the stock rom which I did and then use flash-all and that would allow me to go back to the factory settings so I could lock the oem and just go back to normal because I was tired of the headache. Unfortunately, after using flash-all I locked the oem thinking everything should be stock and it would work properly. But it says device is corrupt and trying to unlock the oem says oem unlocking is disabled.
So did I just completely brick my phone? I don't know of anyway to fix it at this point :/.

Can you still boot into bootloader via the hardware keys, whatever that combo is on the 7t?
Boot to bootloader or recovery and factory reset it or so.

I can get to the bootloader but it's Device State -locked and when I tell it to boot into recovery it says the device is corrupt. When I use fastboot to oem unlock it says I cannot, and I can't flash when oem is locked either.

Try
fastboot erase userdata and
Fastboot erase cache
Let me know if that works or not we will move on. Probably won't work since it's bootloader locked
You may have to contact OP and while you're at it, get the MSM tool for us all :good:

It says erase is not allowed in locked state . I think this is probably all she wrote for this one. I think I'm just going to send it back tbh, the whole reason I was trying to root it was because it didn't work with Sprint like they said it would. and I was wondering if I could find a way too make it work with custom software. Thanks for trying

I unfortunately no longer have Twrp installed as I did a flash-all with a stock rom already . If I try and flash recovery it says "flashing is not alllowed in lock state". Sideloading wasn't functional back when I had twrp either as the functionality for it is still in progress. I'll probably try contacting support one more time and see if I can get a T2 who can unbrick it, otherwise I'm just going to send it back. Thanks for the attempts guys!

How did you flash twrp with it oem locked??That doesnt make sense

I had twrp on it when the oem was unlocked, I was trying to reset the device to stock, so I did a flash-all and then oem locked it. But for some reason the repair was unsuccessful, and now it says my device is corrupted and I forgot to turn on oem unlocking in the settings on my phone after the flash-all before I did the oem-lock.

You should have no issues reflashing the stock images

I cannot flash anything. Because my OEM state is locked.

Looks like you will need the MSM tool to fix this issue. You'll have to contact OP support and they will remote in your PC, load their software and flash it 100pct back to stock.
Also, disconnect them before they can delete the MSM tool so we can have it here in the community

Press volume up/down and power, reboot to fastboot. Unlock bootloader again. Install update from settings, reboot and install it again. (local install)
Factory reset in setting, reboot fastboot, lock bootloader. Reboot and untick unlock bootloader in developer settings.

Don't know if it's too late but I believe there's a working MSM tool now

yes，you can！only support CN firmware，but WW firmware upgrades are not supported. The WW version of the firmware upgrade, you need to download the update package to the root directory, restart the phone to detect the update.

Damn! I should have waited for this. Too late. I used unlock tool. Now Asus has my unlock info.
One question. Can I relock if I originally unlocked using asus unlock apk tool???

to confirm.......
i have a factory locked, untouched WW 512 unit. If i use this tool, i can unlock WITHOUT Asus knowing? no downsides?

@johnny886,
Thank for this, I waited for something like this, wanted to unlock the bootloader without using that app that gives IMEI to asus, a total offline boot-loader unlock.
although i stuck in step 3 ".update_image_EDL.bat”, dos prompt instantly closes. It may be a driver issue, as im not familiar with drivers for this phone, can you upload the drivers, only thing missing in this pack.

There are no disadvantages, the only benefit is that you can unlock your phone through EDL mode, no need to install UnlockTool.apk to apply for unlock! The ASUS server will not get your unlocked status, you can get upgrades via OTA later.

How about Burnt Fuses? Does something like this occur? Basically, i want to ensure that the fact that ive unlocked is hidden for warrenty. (I can always re-lock before sending back if i need to)
It would suck for them to tell me, that they wont service it because it was previously unlocked.

Hi, I installed the Qualcomm drivers but for step 3 "1.update_image_EDL.bat”, it still prompts and closes immediately and I'm not sure how to QPST or QFIL. Are there ways to fix the bat file or provide a more detaisl on using QPST or QFIL please?

You can root without unlock bootloader?

So I did this and now my headphones jack isn't working. Has this happened to anyone else?
Update: The current workaround is to use the headphone jack of the included cooling fan.
Update 2: So it may have something to do with the bootloader that was flashed during the EDL unlocking process, which seems to be a generic SD855 bootloader. I came to this conclusion after I noticed that I was being limited to 70% battery charge. I flashed the WW 1910.35 OTA from ASUS' site and the battery now charges to 100%, but the headphone jack still remains broken. I will try to flash the WW 1910.44 update through fastboot when I get home, which I'm hoping will have whatever partition that was overwritten during the unlocking process.
Update 3: I figured it out. After using "fastboot flash boot TWRP.img" to boot into TWRP initially, I didn't flash the stock boot image again. This broke the headphone jack. So after booting into TWRP using that command, I had to flash the stock boot image first, then flash the TWRP and Magisk installers in that order. Hope this helps someone.

Haven't done it in a while but I'm sure it's the same. Go into fastboot and make sure the device is recognized with "fastboot devices" then " fastboot flashing lock " and it will wipe device and reboot.

That did not do it. What I tried was flashing the Raven Rom again with a standard flash-all.bat.
The bootloader was still locked then I ran the "fastboot flashing lock" command and it worked.

This. Android Flash Tool is the #1 best option for returning to complete stock.
Select the "Wipe Device", "Lock Bootloader", and "Force flash all partitions" options. When the process completes, the device will be back to absolute factory.

Hello,
I did uninstall the magisk I had in my pixel 6 pro and now I don't have root, but now when I start the device I see lines at the boot about the fastboot so as I understand I should lock it for the OTA's of google, (is it right?)

As you may know, even though you uninstalled Magisk and don't have root, you could still have modified partitions on the phone.
You can use:
Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own)
(same as your link) but uncheck the option to wipe, then the phone won't be wiped.
Only then re-lock the bootloader.

You're welcome. I believe you have the lock command correct. See here -> Re-locking the bootloader
Keep in mind that when you do that, it will factory reset your device, and there's no way around that. Every single time you unlock the bootloader or lock it, it forces the phone to factory reset.
Also note that after re-locking the bootloader, you should toggle OEM unlocking in Developer options back to disabled.

Correct.
Looks like @fil3s gave you some of this information in the separate thread you created here. Since I haven't used Official Google Android Flash Tool, I forgot that it appears there's an option right on that site to lock the bootloader. You should follow the directions that @fil3s gave you there, and yes, it will wipe. Factory Reset = Wipe

Ok no way so no way
Will do that

Everything @roirraW "edor" ehT said, but just to be clear, if you only have the bootloader unlocked but nothing else modified, you should still be able to take OTAs. You don't need a locked bootlaoder to take OTAs.

Question Boot Loop after Relocking Bootloader

Hello XDA-Developer-Forum!
I think I have messed up my new phone XQ-BT52.

But then I wanted to have R/W on System and started there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-superrw-featuring-makerw-read-write.4247311/
I wanted to flash the image with fastboot, but had problems with the drivers.
Somehow I had the bad idea to issue fastboot oem lock
Now my device is locked again. I managed to get into recovery and made a wipe data / factory reset.
I cannot flash with fastboot, because the device seems to be locked.
The same happens with adb sideload.
Can I unlock the bootloader again?
Or can I flash the version of stock android 12 with adb sideload (I read that this would work with locked bootloader too)?
But adb sideload works only with zip-files. How to create a signed zip from XQ-BT52_Customized EEA_62.1.A.0.533?
Any help is really appreciate!
Thankx in advance!

It sounds like maybe your system partitions got messed up? Go into flashboot mode and try using newflasher with just the super.sin file from the downloaded firmware.
Make sure you use a super.sin from the same firmware you had on the phone when this happened.
Flashing official images should work even if the device is locked, because they're signed by Sony.

Thank you for your reply wirespot!
I guess flashing would not be not be possible, because the phone is locked.
However, I managed to repair the phone with Xperia Companion.
Selected "Device not detected" and connected with volume up or down pressed (cannot remember).
And it worked!
I removed unneeded apps with adb shell and pm uninstall -k --user 0 NameOfPackage.
Glad to have my new phone back.
Thankx again.

Please, did you find an answer to your question about unlocking again?
I am going through some issues with my 10III too and I want to try locking the bootloader, and going the Companion way as you did. But, once everything is repaired, I will need an unlocked bootloader again.
