I recently bought a Moto Z Play from Chinese site (Banggood). The device came with Android 6.01 (Chinese Software Channel). Inadvertently I did not go there in settings and enabled Scheduler and then enabled OEM Unlock. I downloaded the Stock Retail Retail BR with Android 7.0 and updated by RSD. From there, the boot screen lost the original logo (as if I had actually unlocked the bootloader) and even indefinitely in Settings / Scheduler, the OEM Unlock option was no longer available: it is disabled in light gray and appears in small letters (the bootloader is already unlocked). Is there any way I can fix this? Someone can help me, please? Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
chinese phones often come with the bootloader unlocked in my experience.
But in this case I would install TWRP without problems, then root the phone, correct? But I can´t... TWRP freezes then I´ve to return to Stock ROM. Sorry, but I´m newbie
How do you mean it freezes does twrp not install at all or freezes after being installed.
Hello,
I have a Honor 7X BND-L21 bought from Aliexpress.
The phone's firmware was updated from AL10 by the seller before shipping.
I'm basically trying to get a bootlocker unlock code from the Huawei website but the site doesn't give anything after filling in my details.
I was wondering if it's possible to revert back to AL10 without unlocking the bootloader? I want to check if I can get an unlock code after reverting back to AL10 as it's the original firmware.
I've tried firmware finder and it shows there are new updates available but every time I try to install the latest update it fails for some reason.
Looks like I'm not getting OTA updates since I'm still on a security patch from October 2017.
Thanks!

If you download the dc- Phoenix tool you can flash what ever firmware you want with a locked bootloader or not the only thing is it cost 15 euros but it's worth it you get the tool for 72 hours

I'll keep it as a last resort, thanks.
Hi I bought Mi 10t Pro 256gb global version last year and I didn't update it, because of due to some problems mentioned by users. Now I want to update it and there is update found. My phone stuck at 12.0.11.0.QJDMIXM version.
Bootloader is locked and I can't open because the phone is not getting mobile network. I can't flash fastboot because of this.
How can I update it?

Im in the same problem, is the only solution unlock the bootloader and flash via MiFlash? or exist a database with the ota files for the Mi10T/10TPro?
Hi there, please be gentle with me, I'm not especially software savvy but am seeking help before I make a big mistake!
I bought a Redmi Pad from ebay (lesson learned) which has arrived with an unlocked bootloader. The device is labelled as a 22081283G running MIUI Pad Global 13.1.4, Android version 12 SP1A.210812.016. I can't install certain apps as Google Play says it isn't Play Protected, which a quick search suggests is because the bootloader is unlocked (which I saw from an unlocked padlock symbol when rebooting)? Is there a simple way to 'relock' the bootloader and return it to being able to install apps like Netflix from the Play store? If not, it's going back for a refund which would be a shame as it's otherwise a gorgeous device. Am nervous about attempting anything complex in case I brick it - the first post I hit when searching around this issue suggested relocking the bootloader could do this.
Many, many thanks in advance for any advice!
Install platform tools on a laptop or pc, then shut down your device. Boot up it while holding volume down, then use fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
OR
fastboot flashing lock
try both of these, one should work. This will wipe all data. Then just boot up.
Hi! Thanks for the assist. Would I risk encountering the issue posted here? This is the post that got me nervous that re-locking could inadvertently brick the device?

Okay, what I think happened to them is their device did not have stock firmware. That would make it brick. Google and find your devices stock firmware, flash it, then lock.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to flash firmware. The tablet shows a version that I think is the firmware, as "13.1.4.0(SLYEUXM)". This appears to correspond to a version I found here:
Redmi Pad ROM Download: latest update MIUI 14, Android 13
Download Redmi Pad yunluo firmware & flash file from official website. Latest MIUI 14 and Android 13 update for 22081283G (Global), 22081283C (China)
miuirom.org
Does that mean I'm already on stock firmware?
Try to accept a software update if there are any.
Have updated everything it will let me update. How do I conclusively tell if I'm running stock firmware?
If you can install a official OTA update, you are stock.

Hello.
I see you said it could brick your device. I mean, yes, it's possible but if nothing was modified nothing should happen. Anyway, if you want to be completly safe, use the Mi Flash Tool and download th Fastboot ROM. Choose Clean all and lock and you should be good to go.
Hi to all,
I have a Huawei Mate20 X 256gb 5G.
EVR-N29.
I would like unlock the bootloader
The phone has Emui 9.1.1.188 installed.

Not without bootloader code, Hauwei stopped selling them.
So nope not a chance.
