Hey guys, i have to send my Pixel C to repair so i want to lock my bootloader. My Problem is, that i cant enable OEM unlocking in the developer options because its grayed out saying that my bootloader is already unlocked. "fastboot flashing lock" and "fastboot oem lock" both give me the error "FAILED (remote: Enable OEM unlock is not set)".
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks for your help!
I also have this issue.
Same thing here. I loaded LineageOS and have decided to go back to factory. I can't figure it out either. Here are my results.
fastboot flashing lock
FAILED (remote: Enable OEM unlock is not set)
finished. total time: 0.022s
fastboot flashing unlock
FAILED (remote: Device already unlocked)
finished. total time: 0.003s
fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
(bootloader) 0
OKAY [ 0.020s]
finished. total time: 0.020s
Ok all, I finally figured it out.
I had to download factory image 6.0.1 (MXB48J) go thru the instructions to flash this image.
Started up in android went thru the min setup to get into Settings and Developer Options. Turn on USB debugging and the OEM Unocking.
adb reboot bootloader
flashboot flashing lock
Prompted me about wiping the device.
Everything is good.

I had lollipop running without real issues for a while. After a complete battery drain, I put it on the charger. Upon trying to turn the device on, it hung on the Google screen showing an unlocked padlock at the bottom.
I tried to see how far I could go, and can boot into fastboot but no further.
I thought I would start the usual flashing process from the start by bringing it back to stock and then back to root. Initially the device was unlocked. I locked it with "fastboot oem lock" the rebooted to bootloader. Now when I run "fastboot oem unlock", the unit freezes up when I select Yes to confirm unlocking the bootloader.
Code:
C:\Android>fastboot oem unlock
...

Previously, before I locked it, when I tried to flash recovery & bootloader, I received "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)" and "fastboot FAILED (remote: Partition table doesn't exist)" errors. Now, I cannot try to reflash because I can't get unlocked ("FAILED (remote: Bootloader is locked.)")
Current status:

So was this a Google OTA update that caused this?

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my Nexus 5x, because I want to downgrade to 6.1 after proximity sensor issues. I tried "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock", but it looks like the bootloader auto-locks after reboot, and so I can't flash anything.
Did this happen to someone?
Do you have "Secure boot- enable (no rpmb)" on fastboot screen?
This is my fastboot screen

You can't unlock bootloader because probably you have replacement emmc memory/motherboard without flashed rpmb partition. You can't do enything with that, but on this forum there is a topic, where someone wrote how to work around this problem.

Update your platform tools, make sure USB debugging is enabled, then try again.

Hi All.
I just bought the leeco pro 3 and want to unlock the bootloader. I followed the steps outlined in "X727 (US Model) Persistent bootloader unlock from 5.8.019s". I turned on USB debugging, permanently added USB device, and turned on the "allow oem unlocking option". Then, i rebooted to fast boot and tried the following commands and received an error.
Code:
:~$[B] fastboot oem device-info[/B]

[email protected]:~$ fastboot reboot

My phone came with 5.8.020S (I think) and I tried the above steps with that version. Then i updated to 5.8.021S and tried again and received the same issue. I checked for more updates but none were found.
I am sure this issue has been solved somewhere but I just want to make sure I do not brick this device. Please help.
Developer Options ---> usb debug ---> open ..
Developer Options ---> Oem unlock ---> open ..
Have you enabled them?

I had this issue also this I solved it.
Undo the OEM allow to unlock reboot then enable OEM to unlock bootloader.
Still had the problem.
I ended up flash the bootloader then then ran the bootloader unlock commander and it worked.

You need to flash 2 files via adb first, then run the unlock command.
I did it successfully for 021s

Flashing Critical Locked
I'm just a dabbler in this stuff, but I think I understand everything required to get LineageOS on my LEX727. The problem is, in the process of learning, I think I locked the ability to flash aboot, and now I can't get the twrp recovery onto my phone. Does anyone have any ideas or know what to do? If I can do anything from here?
Thanks for any help!

good friends after an update my google pixel stays in boot loop I have tried several ways to unlock the bootloader to install a stock rom from flashboot but every time i try to unlock the bootloader it tells me that i have to activate or unlock the oem option
I tried to do it with the adb flashtool but it gives me error
c:\adb>fastboot oem unlock
FAILED <remote: oem unlock is not allowed>
finished. total time: 0.044s
c:\adb>
I can not enter the Android system either from my Google Pixel since it is damaged the same to activate the option of OEM
I need someone to help me with this problem because the phone does not let me do anything for the fastboot because the bootloader and the OEM are blocked
I got a ROG phone 6 few days ago. But I found that after I used the official unlocker app, I cannot find OEM unlock option in Developer settings.
I tried 2 commands in bootloader:
Code:
(bootloader)
fastboot flashing unlock
FAILED (remote: 'permission denied')
fastboot: error: Command failed
get_unlock_ability: 0
OKAY [ 0.003s]
Finished. Total time: 0.004s
How can I enable it?
To unlock the bootloader, you have to use unlock app from the Asus homepage. That's the best way to do it. Relock could be done by CMD command.
I also cannot unlock my bootloader. When i use unlocking tool app my device just reboot
