[Q] Relock Bootloader - Warranty

Hey guys,
I´m new in this forum so I hope I write everything right..
Due to a broken vibration motor I need to send in my Ascend P6.
For that I flashed the phone back to stock ROM B125 and original recovery.
Than I tried to relock the bootloader via fastboot ("fastboot oem relock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU") but it always says:
...
FAILED (remote: relock OK, but resecure failure)
and the bootloader is still unlocked.
So my questions would be:
1. Is there a chence to relock the bootloader of the Ascend P6?
2. The phone is just 2 month old, will I have any warranty problems if I send it in or doesn´t it matter at all?
Thanks guys
Edit:
Now I´m stuck in the Huawei Logo. The phone isn´t recoqnised by the PC and I can´t get into recovery since Volume + and - pressing isn´t working anymore......is is bricked, any ideas?
Edit 2
Solved to get in fastboot mode but I can´t flash any (stock, twrp) recovery:
writing `recovery`
FAILED (remote: flash failure, ErrNo:2)

Anyone? I can´t switch off my phone ´cause it´s in this fastboot-loop...thx

Try to flash stock recovery again and then 3 buttons method or directly 3 buttons. When that don't work maybe try with TWRP.

I managed to install the recovery again.by unlocking the bootloader via the.known commands.
But the 2 questions remain so I'm thankful for help:
1. Is there a chance to relock the bootloader of the Ascend P6?
2. The phone is just 2 month old, will I have any warranty problems if I send it in or doesn´t it matter at all?

I don't think that will be a problem because some phones are unlocked by default, you can try the lock command or flash B125 with 3 buttons methods maybe it relock but not sure.

I flashed the official B125 already and the bootloader is unlocked by default. The relock code I found in the internet (fastboot oem relock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU) doesn´t work. Maybe one can not relock the bootloader on the Ascend P6..?
Do you know for sure that the bootloader is unlocked in B125?

The bootloader is unlocked, but encrypted. That's normal.

Ok than I suppose I can send it in for the warranty.

[Q] First steps on an new Z1 compact

Hi there,
I will purchase a Z1 compact this week, and the amount of information in the forums is kind of confusing me, so I want to ask for some advice here. This is my first adventure into the android world as I am using WebOS for many years now, but that does not seem to have a future.
I don't have a google account, and I am not planning to get one.
I want to run cyanogenmod on the phone.
Is it correct that the reasonable steps to follow are:
1. Get the device
2. Check for the firmware version installed and root the device
If 14.4.A.0.108, proceed by rooting the phone like here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
If 14.4.A.0.157 or older than 108, use flashtool to install the kernel from 108, then proceed with rooting, then install the kernel of 157 again
3. Backup the TA partition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598) or rather as I don't use windows, like here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/sony-al...ia-ta-backup-restore-tool-fuer-linux-mac.html ( tool which does the TA backup on linux, but it's german only...)
4. Unlock the Bootloader using fastboot like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597
5. Install cyanogenmod like described here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_amami
Did I miss something, or is this overly complicated or outdated?
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers, B

You need to make sure you can unlock the bootloader first if you want to use CM, other than that your steps are correct.

Thank you! If I buy a new, Sim-Unlocked phone, it should be unlockable, right? Or are there other parameters influencing this?
Cheers,
B

Correct.

I'd add check build quality to that list. Especially since you seem to be buying one in Germany.

I don't get how SIM-lock and bootloader lock are bound.
IMAO those are two different things.

They are, but Phones that come from carriers that are bootloader locked, generally cant be unlocked.

I have z1c from orange and I have Sim unlocked but my bootloader status unlocked is: no so in my case I can't unlock bootloader but I don't have a simlock so can't install any cm roms or any unstock kernels

[Q] Unlocking Bootloader

Ok so I'm having a problem. I recently unlocked bootloader and flashed DooMKernel and the notification fix and now my phone won't boot. Pressing the power button the phone vibrates once but there's nothing on screen. I tried connecting in fastboot and it works and i tried reflashing kernel from Flashtool but it fails with this message:
- INFO - FASTBOOT Output:
sending 'boot' (12252 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.386s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.388s
Any clue what's going on and how can I fix this?
Edit: Ok this is weird. It seems my bootloader didn't unlock for some reason (I think), but my internalSD got wiped in that process so I thought everything was ok. I managed to fix my phone by flashing stock kernel.
What is going on here? What did I do wrong since well I did all steps from unlocking guide and the wipe on my SD should mean that the process was done successful?

Maybe you have your status unlocked:no that means that you can't unlock your bootloader. Not every Sony phone can get unlock biotloader

I think I figured out what I did wrong. In TWRP, partition "Trim" means TA? Because after unlocking I restored my stock ROM including that partition? Does that mean I re-locked my bootloader or am I understanding this wrong?

Try to check if you can unlock your bootloader firstly maybe your phone is permanently locked and you even don't know about this

I managed to unlock the BL the second time I did the procedure. No clue why the first time it didn't unlock since I did same thing second time around. Oh well that will remain a mystery. My phone is unlockable, that was the first thing I checked when i bought it

And you could unlock BL. Well, you could share this miracle how it succeeded.
I feel I am dizzy.

Unlockable=Capable of being unlocked. I just followed the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631291

Eee, sure. I misunderstood that.

Debrand LG G4

Hi folks, I'm considering buying one of these beautys, but I have question about branded rom. I want to buy one from Orange as far as I know it has own branded software. Model of phone is h815 or h818 is there any possibility of instaling international europe rom without unlocking bootloader?

I dont think it's possible w/o unlocked bootloader - U hv to have root to either remove bloatware or to install new ROM. But maybe there is a way thru KDZ of int ROM if there is one for exact model

You are going to have to have an unlocked bootloader if you are going to flash a different ROM (As you need a Custom Recovery to flash ROMs and you need bootloader R/W access in order to get TWRP).
If you get Root Access you can remove bloatware and do lots of customizations (assuming we get Xposed Framework working and all that), but that is about the best you are going to get with just managing to get Root Access and not an unlocked bootloader.

Please just correct me if I am wrong. When I buy Orange's G4(h815) which has branded software. Then using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 can I install 815 v10c non branded software i.e. this http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/H815/ one? Its still same model H815. Main goal for me is to get non branded software without unlocking bootloader.

I don't think so. I bet,that w/o unlocked boot loader, yuo aren't able to enter bootloader. Try enaabling usb debugging and via adb enter cmd:adb reboot bootloader and write what happened

I don't have G4 yet, because of this bootloader, debrand problem I am considering buying it. I am Nexus user right now, and I will be missing this unbrickable clean piece of software. I need to know this before buying one of G4, because I do not like crappy applications that operator adds. Besides still when using stock rom I am sure when some update will be on air I will receive it sooner then I would receive it from Orange.

IF he had the device (which sadly as he stated he does not) I am pretty sure it would just result in the phone rebooting (as this is the case with almost all variations of the G4).
The only method you MIGHT be able to use in order to do this would be the .KDZ method and even then I personally would only use that to flash the Stock ROM that my device came with (For me that would be ONLY Firmware for the LGUS991 variety of the phone)

Fortunately i have int version EU,1st thing I've done was unlocking bootloader &installation of twrp&superSU, i doubt that w/o unlocked bootloader he'll be able 2 do anything

Can't unlock bootloader on OP3

Hey, i am in the unfortunate situation where i might have deleted my os and i have no root/twrp recovery installed on the phone. I also cant move into stock recovery, as it just goes to an error message "md5 checksum failed" everytime and reboots.
I might have fix, but it requires that the bootloader is unlocked, and to unlock it you have to turn on "allow oem unlock" in developer settings, which i haven't, and since it is bricked I cant go do that
So my question is, is there any other way to allow/unlock the bootloader?

I don't think u can.
