Are you sure you unlocked your bootloader before you flashed TWRP?

No I thought it would be good to backup the current stock Rom before unlocking the boot loader. I was gonna do that after backup but this problem showed up. Boot loader is locked for now

Yeah, always unlock your bootloader first before flashing any kind of recovery.
Follow this thread to fix your problem.

thank you very much sir... i appreciate it. now i will unlockbootloader first and then flash twrp

Hi there, I have a similar problem i think. I have unlocked bootloader.
My problem is PC won't regonize my device. I installed the driver for intel asus adb but it would says "error: device not found" for fastboot cmd.
so now i m stuck in fastboot and can't do anything ...

HELP! Re-locked Bootloader...No Recovery...No System....No Boot...NOTHING

SO I made a n00b mistake and accidentally reloacked bootloader trying to flash a fresh system image. I wanted to go back to stock after being rooted and unlocked.
Now i get the red screen of death and it just shuts off the phone. No recovery seems to be installed.
What do I do? Do I throw it in the garbage? Or is there a way to salvage this device?
Bootloader is locked and will not let me unlock again.
Thanks.

Can you boot into bootloader mode what so ever?
Yes only into bootloader. Can't unlock again though. Won't let me.

I don't have the Pixel, so I'm going off of what I know from the 6P.
Does the Toolkit work for the Pixel? There has to be a way to get it working if you can get into bootloader.

I am not sure. I think I need Unlocked bootloader.
Actually i think you just need to reunlock using depixel8. That should unlock your bootloader and allow you to flash new firmware
Did you try using dePixel8 to to unlock your bootloader back? I would try that.

You have to be booted in Android for dePixel8 to work.
Am I missing something? why can't you just flash factory image again from the bootloader and then unlock your bootloader with the depixel8?

He said that he tried to unlock the bootloader again and it won't let him. With a locked bootloader, you can't flash the system images.

My mind is blown on how you accomplished this. Did you ERASE the partitions and then plan on flashing stock ones yourself? Why not just run the script (flash-all.bat) that would have automatically done the ENTIRE process for you, except re-locking the bootloader?
If all you did was re-lock the bootloader, it should have done a factory reset on the next boot and used the existing system partition. If you erased the system partition and then re-locked the bootloader, you are almost certainly screwed and had better hope Google has some mercy to let you RMA the phone.
Couple options you could try off the top of my head. The pixel has A/B patitions try adb sideloading an update zip to get it to switch to the backup partition that might still be there.
You could also try downloading the Factory images and extracting the system and go into fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot boot system system.img
and see if that works. Then if it boots on the temp image run deadpixel8 or whatever its called and reflash the stock image with the flash-all.bat.
have the same problem on my pixel after accidentally relocking after root before flashing back to stock.
Does anyone have the stock pixel xl recovery.img? I thinking if I boot into recovery "fast boot boot recovery.img" then I can add side load etc the ota from google.

Bricked device help

I rooted my Zenfone 2 and unlocked the bootloader (not in that order) and went to flash a custom ROM onto it but when I wiped my OS I realized that I missed a step and forgot to load a new ROM on the sd card. Now I have no OS and when I tried to flash stock ROM to it via ADB sideload it just boots to fast boot mode and when I try to go to recovery, it just reboots to fast boot mode. I hope there it's something that can be done.

Get the raw image and the asus flash tool. And flash that. That will get you back to stock. You'll have to start over again with unlocking etc.

Stuck in boot after unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp

Hey, I unlocked my bootloader using fastboot like I've done 100 times.
After that I flashed the newest TWRP for the 5x and then it wouldn't decrypt my data.
I figured I'd boot into android but it's just stuck in the boot animation, what can I do?
Edit:
I can't keep the bootloader unlocked, as soon as I reboot anywhere, it's locked again.

Can you boot into the bootloader? if you can try reflashing it back stock also when you flashed the latest TWRP, did you flash via fastboot or did you flash it in twrp?

Yes, I can boot, the issue seems to be that the bootloader won't stay unlocked.
As soon asni restart it's locked again. I think that's why twrp can't encrypt my partition. And that somehow messes up the Android installation.
Any ideas why the bootloader won't stay unlocked?

You have a phone with a replaced motherboard just like the individual in the link below. If the phone was recently replaced, I recommend getting another refurb. If that's not possible, the reddit link in this thread may be helpful for you:

Flashing raw file with AFT relocks the bootloader. You need to unlock it again.

If you can unlock the bootloader again, I'd guess the flash didn't manage to erase everything.
Normally you'd have to boot and enable OEM unlocking before being able to unlock bootloader.

Did gsi android 10 flash recently?
if the answer is yes
with the bootloader unlocked you must boot twrp and flash stock-repartition.zip
You can now block the bootloader in stock without bootloop

There is another way too. Put your phone in EDL mode (fastboot oem edl) and flash the stock rom again. Even with clear_all_lock option enabled ,your phone won't lock your bootloader. When the phone boots up after flash,and you see the boot screen wait until you see erasing circle,after the second reboot,hold VOL - and power button until you go in fastboot mode. Then on your PC type: fastboot oem lock. The phone will boot up,then it will erase user data ,and you are ready with locked bootloader. I didn't have the stock repartition script ,so that's what i did.

If it works unlocked but not locked, something is modified. Leave it unlocked or flash a complete stock rom.

Probably something failed to flash. I don't know how much error checking the script has. Try again? Take note of the output, looking for warnings and errors.
