Hey, im trying to unlock the bootloader on a LMG710EM but everytime i try to flash the unlock.bin file it gives me the error FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) and then the phone just reboots to os.
I've tried getting the unlock.bin again, and it doesnt work, tried all usb ports and different cables, no luck.
This is the error and command i use:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
target didn't report max-download-size

My phone stuck while using so as usual I pulled out the battery and it was his end. From then on bootanimation glitched and the phone restarted all over again. Sth like a bootloop but with complete phone restart. Then I tried to full wipe but with no luck, recovery hung and rebooted the phone. Even now restoring/zip installing etc suddenly restarts the phone. I also tried to flash new recovery/rom via fastboot as well as via Nexus Root Toolkit but everytime I got 'too many links error'

I used two different cables that I use for every flashing so far, and different usb slots... I have no idea what else I can do.
Sth has changed, I tried to flash TWRP instead of CWM via fastboot and again, got 'too many links' error BUT it flashed the new recovery anyway . So now I have TWRP, managed to flash cm 10.2.1+gapps. I have a recovery log for sb to analyze. Could you check if my emmc is corrupted telling ftom this log?

A second ago it booted to system in a normal way, then a sudden restart and the phone is stuck while boot animation, like a catch 22...

Hi all,
I'm trying to unroot and relock my Pixel 2 XL because I need to send it in for warranty for an issue with the phone's microphone.
when I try to run the flash-all command in adb I get errors during each step. Could somebody help me figure out what's going on?
Here is what adb is kicking back at me:
Code:

By the way, I am flashing image 9.0.0 (PQ1A.181205.002, Dec 2018)
I tried flashing the most recent one and got the same errors so I tried an older image.

What version of platform-tools are you using?
And, if your already on stock rom, just do a factory reset and send it back. An unlocked bootloader doesn't void your warranty.

I'm running r28.0.1. Really? I thought it had to have the bootloader locked for warranty. If that's the case, it would save me the time...

Just reset it and send it in. Many have done so including myself with the 6p. Question, have you tried a different cable, and are using the command...fastboot flashing lock....?
And, have you run the magisk uninstaller zip to fully get rid of root?
Hi, I rooted my Pixel 2XL a couple of weeks ago and just recently decided to remove the root and lock the bootloader. So I just locked the bootloader, which I thought would only delete all data and reset it back to normal. But instead the whole operative system got removed. When I noticed that I tried to install the factory image. But that only gave me errors...

Anyone who has any idea what to do?
Sadly, 99% chance you have created a very expensive coaster for your beer... Hopefully you can RMA it.
The phone NEEDS to be returned to 100% factory stock BEFORE locking the botloader or it bricks the phone. There MAY had been a few cases of folks sideloading an OTA afterwards but it might just be chatter like Bigfoot sightings...

Thanks for the response. I will make sure I think of that next time. Fortunately it was only the cable that needed switching for it to be able to send the files.
You did the one thing that you must not do. Good luck with unbricking.
Hi, yesterday I tried to flash a factory image to start fresh and the power went out mid flashing. Now the phone is stuck at bootloader.
I already tried multiple computers and cables, also have lastest platform tools and the phone is unlocked using fastboot flashing unlock and fastboot flashing unlock_critical.

Just report your thread to the moderator team designated to your area, which I am not, and have them change the thread title to what you want. Glad you figured out your problem :good::laugh:
