So i have researched over and over about unlocking bootloader, how to gain S-off, and rooting.I decided to unlock the bootloader. I struggled through some of it, as i tried on a mac first then switched to a Windows XP system. I finally got to step 12 on the unlocking process from the HTC website. After i type in fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin it says that my phone should ask me whether i want to actually unlock or abort the process(step13). Yet, my phone never does step 13? I have searched and searched and could not find any answers, i even tried calling HTC(NO help).
So, does anyone know of any way to fix this?
Thank you anyone who can help with my situation

did you place the bin file you got form your email into the folder where you have adb and all the other necessary files?
1. Download the .bin file from the attachment
2. Place the .bin file "as itself" in the folder where you kept the 3 files (fastboot.exe , adb.exe etc)
For eg. If it is in C:/Android place it there.
3. Now note two things before rebooting into recovery (a) ENABLE USB DEBUGGING (b) DISABLE FASTBOOT
4. Now power off
5. Press vol- and Power button
6. Wait until initial checking by HBOOT is over
7.Select Fastboot
8. Connect USB ( When USB is connected you can confirm it by the changing of heading "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB" in red color in the phone )
9. In computer Run "cmd" and type in the command as such
You will see the notification in phone and acceppt it and that's it... It's Done Congratzz!!!

yes do that it will work for sure, but make sure you have done the first and second step
i just tried it on a newer computer that has windows 7, but when i get to step 12 and have to type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin it just says < waiting for device > and nothing happens...i am on the bootloader screen (battery out, put back in, volume - and power button). What else could i try?
Ahh, i feel VERY stupid now. I hadn't realized i had to turn off fastboot. Thanks all for the help! This took me over a week to figure out i had to turn off fast boot -_-
but i finally got it to work thanks to you guys thanks for all the help !
But my question is can i turn on fastboot after i do all this? I hate taking about 2 minutes just for the phone to boot up.
Yes you can. But all custom roms do not have this feature.

my device came with unlocked bootloader, so I tried to flash twrp but every time i type "fastboot flash recovery C:\adb\twrp-3.2.1-3-whyred.img" and hit enter, the device seems to disconnect from pc and there is "press any key to reboot" in fastboot on my phone.
How can I solve this issue?`
Phone gets detected by adb/fastboot tool so its not a driver problem. I tried different cables and usb ports aswell.
Firmware is latest global stable.

Well if you already had adb in your pc, rename the twrp file to recovery, you don't have to move the twrp from download folder, open download folder press shift and right click then select open cmd here, on cmd type "adb device" to see if your device connected, then after that type this "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" press enter than after that type "fastboot boot recovery.img" TEAMWIN logo should appear on your device and then you can unplug your device. Hope this useful
i am trying to flash twrp there is no folder called adb i have installed the 15 second adb and all so i have got this minimal adb flashboot and i tried with that and got this ---- FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State). i have granted all usb and oem unlocking. please help with this
Phone shows unlocked during the boot?
I had the same Problem,after a Factory Reset works for me.
I am on Miglobe-Rom Miui10 8.6.28.
Minimal ADB is enough.
Or use this from Attachment.
Unpack with Win.zip and copy Twrp in this Folder.
Conect the Phone with your Pc ,boot into Bootloader and click "cmd-here.exe"
Use this Command
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-3-whyred.img
@Nazukii - Quick question - any chance you could try running GameBench on your device, and see if our background service dies when the device is disconnected from the PC? I don't have a Note 5 Pro to test, and I've got some user complaints. Any assistance would be awesome!

So my Bootloader is locked,
My phone stuck in MI recovery idk how.
I cant install MIUI via fastboot. Im stuck ..
Can anyone please help me here not sure how to proceed further.
If you have made sure that you have all the drivers installed and still have not solved, you need to use an Intel-based PC / notebook and use a usb 2.0.

Hello, i'm actually trying to unlock the bootloader of my mi a2 lite but the problem is : My computer recognize the phone it is on, but when i enter on fastboot mode, my computer did not recognize it, my phone has OEM Unlocking and USB debugging enabled but the problem persists.
When its on and connect to the pc the device is listed when i type adb devices, but on fastboot it did not work, it seems that the pc is not connecting to my phone when its off, the phone did not appear on the devices session (while off). ( I'm using Linux Mint 19.2) and yes, i installed adb and fastboot, i searched a possibly fix but i almost only found windows one. Sorry for my English, i tried my best to explain the situation
Hi, it's just a bad procedure First backup your necessary data, unlocking bootloader will erase your userdata
1. Turn off the device.
2. Hold Vol. Down + Pwr button together to enter Fastboot mode.
3. Connect the usb cable to computer.
4. Run Linux Terminal and enter the command "sudo fastboot devices"
5. If is device succesfully connected, then you get output "your.s.n. fastboot"
6. Enter the command "sudo fastboot oem unlock"
7. Voilá - Your data will be erased and BL unlocked
8. Enter in fastboot command "sudo fastboot oem device-info" if it is BL unlocked (true).
I have Mint Tina too, you must have root privileges to use fastboot commands. Good Luck

Or try this method w/o data erasing: Just add "sudo" in Linux Term.

I bought a refurbished Razer phone one from the official razer eBay page, and it's stuck on download mode. I haven't tried flashing anything, I haven't even ever been to the home screen. What can I do to fix this?
Get the Google USB Driver and make sure your Razer phone is installed with these drivers
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
Get Android SDK Platform Tools for latest ADB and fastboot tool
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Open command prompt to that folder and run these commands
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot set_active a
from what i've gathered from other threads with similar problems, that's the jist of it...
It says "Waiting for any device" the problem is that it's not recognized by the computer.
Thank you ! Same problem. This is halp! after first run, works. Question, can I block it now? and how please... fastboot flashashing lock ?
Now I can block back? fastboot flashashing lock ?

Hello. Same problem. ( I bought a refurbished Razer phone one from the official razer eBay page, and it's stuck on download mode. I haven't tried flashing anything). It helped me. Now I can block back? fastboot flashashing lock ? Please, sorry my english...

"Find the driver here:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
unzip the files/folder to a location you will remember
Follow the instructions below, point the windows driver update to the .inf file in that folder then driver will install. Make sure you have the latest Android platform tools, the link is also in the PDF below.

open a command prompt from within the Android sdk folder while the phone is still in download mode (phone stays and reboots to download mode through each process below making the process fairly easy)
type: fastboot devices
your phone should show up once drivers are installed correctly
type: fastboot flashing unlock
use the phone vol + - and power to select yes
phone should stay in download mode

use vol + - and power to select yes

Download the firmware image below or if you want to try the following command type: fastboot set_active a && fastboot reboot
to see if the phone boots, not sure if all the phones have Android installed. One poster below seems to and also seems to have his bootloader unlocked. This won't be the case for everyone. If phone does not boot continue downloading the firmware to install it

unzip all the files and put them in the android sdk folder, from the same command prompt if you're on Windows

For Mac type: flash_all.sh
Will take a few minutes but firmware will install. These instructions are for RFD members that do not either 1) want the hassle of RMA or 2) take a chance at voiding the warranty (any phone flashing via adb is frowned upon by Razer)"

Repeat the unlock commands using lock instead of unlock but in reverse order so:

again you must place the phone in download mode (powered off...hold volume down key down...plug in) between each command and follow the onscreen instructions.

I need help unlocking bootloader on my new Revvl 6 Pro 5g, this is my first mtk device, and I'm a Windows guy and I'm lost on the whole mtk client tool and python.
Any and all help would be a phenomenal help!
I think this phone would have a lot more potential with a gsi running on it!
The T-Mobile Revvl 6 pro 5g is made by Wingtech, code name: Augusta and model # is TMAF035G. I dunno if that's of any help but after all my research that's all I know that's 100% fact!
Help your fellow human geek out to enjoy this phones potential!

It's starting to look like I need to put together a guide...
I don't know how to do this on a mac. And I didn't like using the GUI on mtkclient, it would recognize the device but sometimes wouldn't connect.
I suggest you download the liveDVD from the mtkclient readme (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient), put it on a bootable usb stick and run it from there. This is the setup that worked best for me, better than on windows anyway.
Also, read this (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/issues/79). The REVVL 6 Pro 5G has an A/B setup, and unlocking it is not really explained in the current readme. Basically, you need to find out what slot you are booting from (boot_a or boot_b) and flash accordingly. Don't flash both slots, if something goes wrong you might want a slot to fall back to.
From adb do:
adb reboot fastboot
wait for your phone to boot into fastboot mode, and then:
fastboot getvar current-slot
That should tell you what your current slot is.
In order to get mtkclient to connect I booted into the liveDVD opened up the terminal and entered
python mtk r boot boot.img
It will keep looping, looking for your device and give you time to get your REVVL 6 Pro connected with the right button combo (start with power off, then volume down & plug in usb). When it connects a bunch of information will scroll down the screen. It will look for a "boot" partition but won't find one and will show an error, this is ok though. It's connected and you can begin flashing to your hearts content.
IMPORTANT!
Before you go any further make a backup with:
python mtk rl out
This will dump all partitions to a folder "out" on the computer. Save this somewhere, it is your backup.
You may not want to back up the entire userdata partition (it's huge and may take 4 hours to copy, thanks to @threeeye see post 14 below) so when it gets to that you can hit control+c to stop and then backup any remaining partitions manually with this format:
If you don't want to backup userdata folder then try this:
python mtk rl out --skip userdata
Back up individual partitions with this:
python mtk r partitionToBackup partitionName.bin
example: python mtk r vbmeta_a vbmeta_a.bin
The information for unlocking and rooting is in the links above.
Make a backup BEFORE you unlock and root!
Thanks _hollywood_. I got the slot (b), but am not able to get mtk to find the device, it continues to loop. Any tips of figuring out the "right button combo"?

Start with the device off and unplugged from the computer, then hold the volume down button while you plug in the usb. I'm not 100% sure now if that's the correct combo, it's been a while since I did it. If that doesn't work maybe try holding the vol up and plugging in the usb?... but I think that takes you into recovery.
I've been trying different GSIs and found CRdroid runs best, with fewest errors, but I'm not able to make calls, and only sometimes send / recieve mms. Maybe I got something wrong with the phh treble settings? I'm having those issues regardless what GSI I flash.
Phones vary GSI friendly, booted and ran every GSI I flashed!
Does anyone have a backup of the boot_a.img? Long story short i've bricked my phone and i dont have a backup anymore
Really a whole stock rom would be best if you can, thanks in advance

I bricked my Xperia 1 III today, and I rushed to T-Mobile to get a cheap replacement phone and I got this phone (but I still need root to function),
2nd, you failed to mention that backing up the phone with:
Code:
python mtk rl out
(yes, I wanted to backup the userdata as well) would take more than 4 hours... LOL

UNPLUG phone then turn it on should be back to stock
Does anyone have the boot.img? No such image on my computer and yes, I waited almost an hour for this file to be created and got confirmation and its nowhere to be found.
@unsmashed91 run this command from mtkclient-main folder "python mtk r boot boot.img" then hold down vol + & vol - then plug in the phone and let go of the buttons once the command initiates the process. The boot.img file will be in the C:\Desktop\mtkclient-main folder after the command is completed.
or you could download the stock firmware I uploaded and extract my boot.img

It's starting to look like I need to put together a guide...
I don't know how to do this on a mac. And I didn't like using the GUI on mtkclient, it would recognize the device but sometimes wouldn't connect.
I suggest you download the liveDVD from the mtkclient readme (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient), put it on a bootable usb stick and run it from there. This is the setup that worked best for me, better than on windows anyway.
Also, read this (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/issues/79). The REVVL 6 Pro 5G has an A/B setup, and unlocking it is not really explained in the current readme. Basically, you need to find out what slot you are booting from (boot_a or boot_b) and flash accordingly. Don't flash both slots, if something goes wrong you might want a slot to fall back to.
From adb do:
adb reboot fastboot
wait for your phone to boot into fastboot mode, and then:
fastboot getvar current-slot
That should tell you what your current slot is.
In order to get mtkclient to connect I booted into the liveDVD opened up the terminal and entered
python mtk r boot boot.img
It will keep looping, looking for your device and give you time to get your REVVL 6 Pro connected with the right button combo (start with power off, then volume down & plug in usb). When it connects a bunch of information will scroll down the screen. It will look for a "boot" partition but won't find one and will show an error, this is ok though. It's connected and you can begin flashing to your hearts content.
IMPORTANT!
Before you go any further make a backup with:
python mtk rl out
This will dump all partitions to a folder "out" on the computer. Save this somewhere, it is your backup.
You may not want to back up the entire userdata partition (it's huge and may take 4 hours to copy, thanks to @threeeye see post 14 below) so when it gets to that you can hit control+c to stop and then backup any remaining partitions manually with this format:
If you don't want to backup userdata folder then try this:
python mtk rl out --skip userdata
Back up individual partitions with this:
python mtk r partitionToBackup partitionName.bin
example: python mtk r vbmeta_a vbmeta_a.bin
The information for unlocking and rooting is in the links above.
Make a backup BEFORE you unlock and root!

Thanks, I actually got it later that day probably using what you mentioned in a different tutorial. The device is now rooted. Anyone know of any possible opensource ROM of any kind that would work on this phone? Or TWRP? Other than that Root seems to be pretty useless on this thing. I can debloat Google via ADB, but thats about it, no R/W access since its stock with Root.
