after flashing twrp and Dirty Unico by davidevinavil,can i now relock the bootloader?

after flashing twrp and Dirty Unicorns by davidevinavil
i flashed it for someone else and i want to be on the safe side. so...
can i now relock the bootloader?
will the phone will be able to receive rom updates OTA?

Don't it will brick your device and you'll probably just boot into 900e mode after that, so save yourself headache and don't. You can only relock it safely on an original rom (at least in my experience).
OTA Updates won't be received i had DU on, some time but don't know if they provide ota updates through it.

thanks for answering
i will take your advise.

whats the boot loader locking/unlocking process in z2 plus.
I have an experience with Sony Xperias , there we had to backup the TA partition before unlocking boot loader to relock it again later.
Is it just switching in developer tools in z2 plus?

so just flashing an official stock ROM with QFIL relocks the bootloader again?

Yes, that's right. If you want to flash a custom rom, there is no way to safely relock the bootloader as of now that i know of. Some have tried and couldn't recover their phone without taking off the back, unplugging the battery, connecting cables etc. that's just a mess to deal with. So don't - it doesn't give you anything.
I can't recall it exactly right now but maybe you'll have to use the relock command via fastboot. Other than that it should work easily with an original ROM, which is newly flashed via QFIL. You can check the current status by looking at the last line in the Bootloader, there should be a line with "Bootloader = locked/unlocked/relocked". Some People on the ZUK Forums wrote that flashing a certain original ROM via QFIL locked the Bootloader like it was "new", maybe the 1.9 ZUI but i can't confirm it, you'd have to look through the Forum.
The command to check it out is:
"adb fastboot bootloader"

Here is a handy guide on zukfans . eu:
zukfans [dot] eu/community/threads/zuk-z2-bootloader-unlock.62/

Please post in appropriate thread. It should be in Q&A thread.

how to unlock bootloader????

im getting the pixel 2xl tomorrow from google. .. i want unlock bootloader . could someone that has success unlocking boatloader, please make a quick step by step guide for windows.
i have latest ADB installed in windows.

Should be the same as the XL. Go into fastboot and type in:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot reboot

first go to developer settings and check oem unlocking

Same as the Pixel 1...

ok... i thought i read it was different somewhere. i been trying to find post.

in google site they have an extra line https://developers.google.com/android/images#taimen
''
If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader using one of the following methods:
If you are updating a Nexus or Pixel device that is manufactured in 2015 or later, run this command:
fastboot flashing unlock
For some devices, for example, Pixel 2 XL, the critical partitions may also need to be unlocked before flashing. The unlock can be performed with this command:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
"
what is this unlock critical thing

The critical unlock goes a step further and allows users to flash custom bootloaders, which are usually only necessary for removing certain security restrictions or occasionally for adding special features.

so critical only for flashing other bootloader
which is something i never heard before

Can anyone confirm whether running fastboot flashing unlock_critical will wipe your device? I've already run fastboot flashing unlock, which of course does wipe the device, but now I need to know if this new command will do so as well. EDIT: After reading over that android police link, this appears to be nothing new so I doubt this will be required on the Pixel XL 2 now in order to have root since it wasn't required for the 6P or the OG Pixels. This could have changed with the new Pixels, so we'll have to figure out if the critical command is actually needed.

do you think the critical unlock would work against magisk in anyway? I just want to unlock so i can root and get adaway, but use magisk when available to still have android pay and netflix

you only need it is flashing a custom bootloader
but for anything else you don't need it
root- recovery -roms - oem update - original bootloader
at least that what the dev google site says

I'm still waiting for the TWRP boot loader to be ready for 2XL. Seeing that I'm probably getting the phone either the end of this week or next week, we still have time.

FYI...you don't have to unlock your bootloader to achieve root. You can still root a phone and have a locked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is to allow custom recovery flashing, such as TWRP. Personally, TWRP is a must for me and I always unlock my phone.

how do you plan on rooting with a locked bootloader? I don't believe this is possible on the Pixel/Pixel 2.

Yeah, I guess you're right. It depends on the phone and root method. If you're using SuperSU or magisk you'd have to unlock the bootloader. IDK. Just forget everything I said. LOL

it'd be pretty awesome if someone found a way to root with a locked bootloader. I believe the S8/Note 8 has been rooted with a locked bootloader, now only if this was somehow brought into the world of the pixel. lol.

Unlock_critical is needed to even flash stock bootloader's. To flash 8.1 preview I had to unlock_critical to update the boatloader to even get passed. It's a required check.

Can we root our Nokia 6.1 (2018)?

Hi guys.... Nokia 6.1 is an awesome phone... i was previously using LG v20 which i sold to my friend and got this baby being a die hard Nokia Fan from past (since Nokia 6630 till N-Series era).... Can we hope for any root for Nokia 6.1 (2018)... i need it particularly just to install Viper4Android... Thanks

You can try this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-qualcomm-t3769930
And then use Magisk...
There is no TWRP for our devices, so you probably will need to extract the boot image (somehow) from your device, patch it in Magisk Manager and then flash it (maybe with fastboot command). But I'm not sure if it will work, if it is possible. I don't want to try it, I will wait if there will be someday any easier way, as it was on Nexus devices, just unlock BL with a simple fastboot command and flash everything via TWRP...

We have this option in TA-1043 as well but it is for allowing the bootloader to be unlocked by a bootloader unlock file which we can not get that easily

users of nokia 6 the make a custom twrp recovery i dont know if is same with us.. i am afraid to test it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-nokia-6-t3762890
i am on oreo rom that mean only magisk work. i try to flash the Magisk with factory recovery but no luck

that twrp not work on my nokia 6.1.
about unlock bootloader:
if you are in android 7.1 and not updated ,there's a way ,through 9008 mode to unlock it.
if you already updated through ota, there's only paid way to unlock it till now.

I pay and I unlock it...
---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------
Next step is the twrp recovery but is out of my knowledge

Has any one successfull flashed update via doad volume up and down plus power

im trying to fix my device wondering has any one ever flased a update package via sdcard and dload mode mines fail at 5 percent everytime

same here...

this might be closest we have for 7x at this point
This is only for nougat . And after reading the guide few more times, I see it is incomplete.

untill we can get a "service rom" for 7x "service rom" is apparently what is needed for dload to work.

Oh man, there should have been this kind of post a while ago. I wanted to go completely stock on emui 8 stable as I was stuck on emui 8 beta and I trusted the dload method so I locked everything up stock recovery, BL relock etc... Now, the dload fails at 5% and my phone is as good as bricked.
Can you tell me about this DC tool? How much did it cost? Even if I'm able to get rid of that frp lock, I can unlock bootloader again and flash any rom I want.

Hi, the guide never says "unlocked bootloader" so how does that Huawei tool installs twrp without Unlocked BL? Does it?
See, in my situation to unbrick my phone, all I need is to get that frp unlock. I can only do it by going into settings but my phone is all wiped out when I relocked the bootloader.
So, I saw your post in other thread about some command "fastboot frp-erase " "fastboot frp-unlcok unlock code" I know I don't remember the commands but my point is can we erase the frp with that command? or can we get frp unlock code from some service and unlock it? so I can simply Unlock BL by "fastboot oem unlock unlock code"?? I can get myself out of trouble by flashing any rom or twrp backup that I have. Now, my phone is as good as dead. Please reply!!

The DC tool is 15euros to use for 72 hours I still have it and you can use it if you want my bootloader was unlocked and frp locked but niether of those matter because the program does some back door fastboot trick to flash......... To restore your phone or at least get a working version of TWRP I recommend you install the DC tool configure the update app in the application for your device once all the files are extracted in the application it will try to flash and it will fail then it will say backdoor open and you have to have your CMD prompt ready to flash your TWRP so all you have to do is hit enter it will flash real quick then pull the cable from your phone and boot into TWRP and fix from there

Root with Magisk 22 - Is it possible also on this phone?

Hi all
I know that, at the moment, there is no way to unlock bootloader (is it correct?) on Oppo A52, but is there a way to use Magisk 22 new root technique to root it?
I see that in the Developer Options there is an OEM Unlock option and I have activate it, but I don't see anything different...
Thanks for any suggestions or explanations.

If that toggle moved, typically that means your bootloader can be unlocked. This is normally done through fastboot commands like "fastboot oem unlock" but it's different for some phones and I don't have this one. Hopefully someone here will chime in soon.

There is no way.
Oppo Phones are not Unlockable!
that means: no unlock = no root

Is there a danger of breaking the device by following these instructions?
