BOOTLOADER is LOCKED and Usb debugging is not enabled

My phone is gone into LOOPMODE only showing GOOGLE , and no OEM enabled , no USB debugging Enabled also DEVICE state is LOCKED...
please help me to restore my set.
how to Unlock the bootloader or how to enable USB debugging ?

From the reading that I have done, if the device state is locked you are in a bad way.
I have almost had success freezing my phone down to -18C, it will then complete the boot process but reboots before I can get into turn on OEM unlocking in the settings.
I am going to try and boot the phone whilst it is disassembled and use some freeze spray to keep it cool, in a couple of days when I have some free time.

First off , thankyou for replying

yeah sure, i m on HOLD , i have tried all things such as adb, nexus toolkit and all adb commands .
Reply soon bro !

Freezing you phone is nonsense and won't do anything for a software problem!
What you need to do is unlock the bootloader again. (do a search for howto do this)
And then give the adb command to format userdata! ("fastboot format userdata") This will wipe any encryption on the phone that's blocking further acces.
The next step is to download the lastest OTA and sideload it through adb. This will unconditionally write a clean stock ROM on your phone and you should be good to go.
MIND THAT THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTING ON YOUR PHONE!!!

but how to unlock bootloader , thats the problem bro ! i have done evrytthing to do so !

OK, so after trying to get my phone to boot for the past 3 days, I have finally done it and enabled the OEM unlock option.
I am running bullhead 7.1.2
1. Put phone in freezer at -18C for about 30 minutes.
2. Plugged phone into USB, pressed the power button and it then finally booted all the way.
3. Went into settings
4. Enabled developer options
5. Went into developer options and enabled OEM unlock. (I had to enter my pin number to make this happen)
I can now access the device using adb and device in no longer locked.

Repair Nexus 5X that won't boot + others restriction

Hello everyone,
For no apparent reason, yesterday my Nexus 5X (android 8.0, stock rom) shutdown and since, I can't turn it on again (stuck at google logo then turn off).
I found lot of topics related to this situation except I can't follow any of them since there is always a requirement I can't fullfill:
-I can't access recovery mode (it shows the "google" logo)
-My phone isnt oem unlock, so I tried to use the fastboot utility but it tells me "failed remote oem unlock is not allowed".
I found out that was because of the ADB driver so I tried to install them but I can't : i've tried using the google usb driver from the sdk manager but adb still tells me he can't find any device.
-Lot of tutorial talks about the device manager page but there is no "android phone" in mine...
I can only access the fastboot mode and I can flash some of the part of the tell (like boot, radio...) using nrt but not "recovery".
Someone has a solution ?
Thanks

Turn off phone put it in refrigerator's top portion for 10 to 15 mints that way u ll boot your phone normally, if you cant then try to put it in there for longer. and once you boot it then go to developers option and enable that OEM unlock thingy and then do the rest. I hope it will work for you.

Exactly this is the only way you could boot the device normally
Do not take it out of the freezer, let it boot completely Toggle the oem unlock and then do all those things
Sad part is, after all of this life of your phone will only extent to max 3-4 more months only

wait why did you run fastboot oem lock??
if you were wanting to lock you need to run an RUU first (for future reference)
by the "phone can't boot anymore" do you mean like nothing. completely dead? (Bricked)
you can't get to bootloader or download mode? Try holding volume up, volume power and power for a few minutes, see if does anything.
does it show charging light?
I am not experienced enough to give more details, esp about motherboard, but if can get to download or bootloader try RUU that matches the firmware on it.
(gotta be very sure about what you're doing when running commands esp. once the device is unlocked. once unlocked it's on you what you flash and run..)

Because there is a damn app only can run when the bootloader is locked... so I did that -.-. Now when I power up my phone it only show "HTC" for half second then power off automatic. If I plug the power cable, it will keep turning on and off

Oh dear!
I dont like to tell you this, but you have hard bricked your phone and it cannot be fixed using software.
Locking the bootloader is ONLY for when you are on pure stock. Even having a custom recovery (like TWRP) isnt allowed even if the ROM is stock.
In locking it, you have hard-bricked it, and there isnt ANY way to recover this using software. Nobody on XDA has EVER been able to sort this one out.
Your best bet is one of two options:
1. Buy a new phone. Yeah, pain I know, but the HTC 10 is now 3.5 years old and it might be cheaper to just buy a new phone than try to fix it.
2. Get it fixed at a repair shop. I can imagine that a few local places might not be able to do it, but maybe somewhere can. It's worth an ask?
I seem to recall that using a JAVA card or something like that you might be able to fix it, but if you have locked the bootloader with a custom rom on it, then the chances are it is over for you.
Hey, don't beat yourself up too much about it; we've all done stupid things in the past. I reversed my car into a concrete post last month and it cost me a fortune to fix it!
Such is life.....

Bro, never relock the bootloader. That's just a bad idea. You most likely hard bricked your phone and there is no way back. That's not 100% for sure but if u flashed any non-htc images the bootloader will not boot it. Thats why you keep it unlocked, so it can boot unsigned images. That's why it keeps shutting off.

Help with relocking bootloader please?

I try to relock bootloader on my htc 10, stock rom, s-on (whatever that means), I go to cmd, enter adb devices and when the device ID shows up I proceed with adb reboot bootloader and then fastboot oem lock which shows failed unknown command, what do I do wrong here? the fastboot exe is present in the folder so what's going on here? Please help

Try from Download Mode instead of bootloader mode, if you haven't already.

I... don't know how to thank you. Now I can finally give my mom this phone. On all videos I've seen this was performed from bootloader mode, not download mode. The reason I've unlocked the bootloader was because I wanted to do root but never got around it and left it that way which made it vulnerable. In consequence something went wrong recently when I tried to send files through usb, phone froze, I restarted using vol down+power and the phone wiped itself just like that with all my files, notes and photos gone. I decided to give the phone to my mom but I had to lock it first to make sure this won't ever happen to her. Thank you so much :good:

Question Help, Bootloader locked phone bricked

So I just received the phone today and as I always like to do with my new phones I downloaded the latest full ota, installed it through local upgrade and when I pressed reboot the phone rebooted normally.
I went an pressed reboot to recovery and boom the phone just died, no recovery it goes to QUALCOMM crash dump and I am able to boot into bootloader but OEM unlock is still off in the developers options, cant unlock boot loader, cant flash anything in fastboot and there are no MSM tools.
Anyone have any ideas??
Be careful I was on stock rom flashed with stock latest rom with locked bootloader and no funny business and the phone just dead.

I would contact oneplus. I had this once happen to me on my oneplus 3t and they were able to fix it using remote access and walking me through a few steps.

Will check that now

Once in fastboot. Try and run the commands for unlocking the bootloader. That's what worked for me.

Won't work, I think its due to the OEM unlock toggle in the Developers options. (Was your toggled on?)

Yes, did you try and adb the stock.img if you can get into fast boot you should have a chance.

Tried that, tried flashing and booting from a boot.img and both returned with failed locked

What model do you have? I don't see why your OEM unlock option would be greyed out...

i just did the same thing, cant get past "device is corrupt and will not boot" i can get into fastboot but no commands work and it will not boot into recovery at all. unlocking the bootloader comes back "flashing unlock not allowed"
any fixes?

All you need is to change the active boot slot to that of before it was messed up.
In fastboot type:
fastboot getvar current-slot
This will tell you what (corrupted) slot you're currently booting from (either a or b). Then just change to the other one with the command:
fastboot --set-active=a
or
fastboot --set-active=b
Then reboot with the command:
fastboot reboot

i did something similar (hello, im an idiot) and oneplus just had me send my phone to a licensed repair place and have them send me a brand new one.
3 days later, sure enough, it was just a new phone. coming form op6, i didnt realize the state of rooting since OP8. Since google handles OPs OTA updates, its a lot harder and op8t was only able to root thanks to a generous insider who leaked the code needed to make MSMdownloadTool work.

I attempted that however OEM Unlock is not turned on in developer settings and fastboot --set-active just returns an error, something like Commands not allowed.
After 16 hours I finally got my remote session, it took almost 2 hours and they attempted to flash the wrong files on to my device, thank god MSM verifies that first. Then after the tech says "I apologize, my bad, I should have checked that first, we will try again in about 24 hours."
That was a bit ridiculous and if a supervisor isn't able to get it fixed soon, I'm just gonna return it and take my business somewhere else.

Please return the device, there are way too people messing up their device and can't fix it. You are seriously going to blame the manufacturer for something you messed up?

No I'm not blaming then for that. I'm blaming then for there lack of communication and the fact that they have me a run around for 16 hours and being transferred between 2 remote technicians, because "we apologize but Agnes is new here and wasn't sure what she was doing" just for the 2nd technician, Olivia, to attempt to flash the wrong files, and then says "we will try again this time tomorrow" that shows me how incompetent they are. They ask for a list of information before hand so that they make sure they have the right device and files.
And to further my reason for return, when I placed my pre-order it was listed as Dual-SIM, just to receive a single sim version. And the phone gets much hotter then most, and the battery life is no where near what it should be. With all that they want nearly the same price as all other flagship devices..

Finally got OnePlus to fix my phone using the MSM tool, and was able to keep an unprotected copy of it. what is the best place to upload and host a 3.5gb file so i can share it here?
