Flashing stock firmware doesn't require unlocking the bootloader. Try LMSA.

Yeah...however, I think you do need USB debugging enabled.
This is a vicious circle. You need USB Debugging to flash the ROM, but you can't enable that, cause your ROM is currently not bootable.
So...you need to do things in order.
First, you need a bootable ROM. Any bootable ROM. Just so you can get that damn pop-up to show up, so you can allow fingerprinting for ADB.
After that, you can flash stock ROM or whatever.

USB debugging wasn't needed only for adb?
I remember booting in fastboot before trusting any key from my computer.

To be honest, I'm not so sure right now. I remember my phone was in a bootloop situation, and I tried to see if I can connect it to my computer so I can use RSA and reflash stock ROM. But it wouldn't work.
It's possible that I missed something though. So yeah, you might be right.

In fastboot use "fastboot -w "then flash stock (from lolinet)then one more tine "fastboot -w" it should boot up without usb debbuging enabled

Did you unlock it again with the Mi Unlock tool?
Make sure to enable USB debug in developer options again.
And did you turn on OEM unlock in developer options again also.

I know you probably enabled the options when you first unlocked. But did you enable them again after your device was wipe from the unlocking process?
Can you boot the current rom on your device?
If the rom is not booting, you may need to try and flash stock fastboot rom in EDL Mode (If that is still an option for this device).
Edit: - As you locked the bootloader with fastboot command, have you tried the fastboot unlock command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
What response are you getting from "fastboot devices" while in fastboot.
also what is "fastboot oem device-info" reporting?

Pixel XL Android P DP4 soft brick

Hi,
Like the title says, my Pixel XL is bootlooping.
The only thing that works is getting to bootloader, I can't even get to recovery without it booting again. The biggest problem is that it's OEM locked and obviously I can't unlock it via developer options.
Is there any way to unlock it without booting to the OS?

OEM unlock must be toggled before unlocking bootloader or CMD won't work, Can't you flash stock OTA in the recovery? https://developers.google.com/android/ota You can sideload the zip and should flash it to save your device once you get into the OS unlock your bootloader and avoid a situation like this again

Sorry missread... My bad Contact Google sounds like an RMA job for this one
Hey, if you can get into the bootloader, there's a high chance you can use fastboot. Using a computer to install adb/fastboot and then using the command line to run
`fastboot reboot recovery` (without the ticks)
Worth a shot, but if you can't get into recovery, I'm afraid the recovery might be failing as well.

I've tried that as well with no success, it simply starts boot looping again.
I read somewhere about EDL mode, does something that like actually work for the Pixel?

Hey, yeah I looked into EDL mode. No luck unfortunately, looks like it requires special files manufacturers only have access to. Is there any way you can do a RMA?

OEM Locked, and Device is corrupt. Unfixable?

So, long story short I recently decided to try and root my oneplus7t I unfortunately made some mistakes and somehow corrupted some files. I read elsewhere in the forum that I could download the stock rom which I did and then use flash-all and that would allow me to go back to the factory settings so I could lock the oem and just go back to normal because I was tired of the headache. Unfortunately, after using flash-all I locked the oem thinking everything should be stock and it would work properly. But it says device is corrupt and trying to unlock the oem says oem unlocking is disabled.
So did I just completely brick my phone? I don't know of anyway to fix it at this point :/.

Can you still boot into bootloader via the hardware keys, whatever that combo is on the 7t?
Boot to bootloader or recovery and factory reset it or so.

I can get to the bootloader but it's Device State -locked and when I tell it to boot into recovery it says the device is corrupt. When I use fastboot to oem unlock it says I cannot, and I can't flash when oem is locked either.

Try
fastboot erase userdata and
Fastboot erase cache
Let me know if that works or not we will move on. Probably won't work since it's bootloader locked
You may have to contact OP and while you're at it, get the MSM tool for us all :good:
It says erase is not allowed in locked state . I think this is probably all she wrote for this one. I think I'm just going to send it back tbh, the whole reason I was trying to root it was because it didn't work with Sprint like they said it would. and I was wondering if I could find a way too make it work with custom software. Thanks for trying

I unfortunately no longer have Twrp installed as I did a flash-all with a stock rom already . If I try and flash recovery it says "flashing is not alllowed in lock state". Sideloading wasn't functional back when I had twrp either as the functionality for it is still in progress. I'll probably try contacting support one more time and see if I can get a T2 who can unbrick it, otherwise I'm just going to send it back. Thanks for the attempts guys!

I ended up needing to flash the fastboot 10.0.3 firmware and was able to do a local upgrade to 10.0.4 that way, then flashing a patched boot.img via fastboot
I can't run any flash commands as my oem is locked. I don't suppose there's anyway around that?

How did you flash twrp with it oem locked??That doesnt make sense
I had twrp on it when the oem was unlocked, I was trying to reset the device to stock, so I did a flash-all and then oem locked it. But for some reason the repair was unsuccessful, and now it says my device is corrupted and I forgot to turn on oem unlocking in the settings on my phone after the flash-all before I did the oem-lock.

You should have no issues reflashing the stock images
I cannot flash anything. Because my OEM state is locked.

Looks like you will need the MSM tool to fix this issue. You'll have to contact OP support and they will remote in your PC, load their software and flash it 100pct back to stock.
Also, disconnect them before they can delete the MSM tool so we can have it here in the community

Press volume up/down and power, reboot to fastboot. Unlock bootloader again. Install update from settings, reboot and install it again. (local install)
Factory reset in setting, reboot fastboot, lock bootloader. Reboot and untick unlock bootloader in developer settings.
Don't know if it's too late but I believe there's a working MSM tool now

What are the steps you took before relocking the bootloader?
In my experience, relocking the bootloader should be the last thing you do, after you've got a working/bootable stock ROM.

So, after i installed the latest stock rom, the device worked normally, but after waiting a while for the oem lock option appear in development options, it din´t show up. so i just gave up and installed lineage 19.1 but if i can i want to lock the bootloader again.

So, the OEM lock/unlock thing comes with a pretty big caveat, and you need to be aware of it: loss of data.
Every time you lock or unlock your bootloader, a wipe data is triggered.
Now, for as far as I know, to lock the bootloader, you need two things:
1. Stock ROM. Don't do this on a custom ROM!
2. following command, in Terminal/Cmd Prompt
fastboot oem lock
Of course, you need to be in fastboot mode, so if you're not, and if you're booted and connected via USB (USB debugging needs to be ON and RSA fingerprinting accepted), do:
adb devices
It should display your device here. This is just to make sure ADB is working properly.
adb reboot bootloader
At this point, the phone should reboot into bootloader, so now you can do the lock command
fastboot oem lock
Data should be erased and, in case it doesn't automatically boot up, you can reboot the phone.
Don't worry about the OEM unlocking option in Developer Options. You just make sure the stock ROM is functional before attempting to relock the bootloader.

no, i run the command and it asks for changing the oem lock setting in developer options, i reboot the phone and run through the setup process. Then when i enable developer options and check the oem lock option, it is greyed out.
Is it greyed out in the on or off position? Can you attach a screenshot? I don't remember the operations sequence... But I think the option was automatically switched back to the original position (off) when you lock the bootloader. I could be wrong though. So...when you run the "fastboot oem lock" command, it asks you to....what?
Set the option to on or off? Some screenshots from both the PC, with the message, and the developer options might help to clarify this.

A screenshot would be really useful. But don't worry about it. When you're back to stock rom and ready to lock your bootloader, we can resume this then. I think either we're missing something, or it's everything ok, and you just need to switch that option off. Though, I remember I didn't have to do it manually. But I could be wrong though.
So, don't worry. Enjoy LineageOS and we can resume this when you're back to stock ROM and ready to lock.

so after running the fastboot oem lock command, it asked this in the cmd
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer
(bootloader) Options
OKAY [ 0.080s]
finished. total time: 0.080s
when i rebooted the phone, it showed the screen saying that the bootloader was unlocked. also i had to re run the command because it was going to erase my phone but that din´t happend, after going to developer options the option was still greyed out.
The last 3 days i've tried some roms from here.first i've unlocked the bootloader in developer menu,then from fastboot with the unlock key provided by motorola website,i've tried different rom,didnt like that i cannot use bank apps.so i went for locking.full reset,adb enable,reboot bootloader,full flash stock rom (last one from Motorola),reboot to check,adb enable, reboot bootloader,run command " fastboot oem lock " once ,it asked for confirmation due to data loss,then run command " fastboot oem lock " once more,then reboot to os.everything went ok,device dont show that was unlocked

Question Locked phone stuck in Fastboot mode

Hey everyone!
I was updating to the latest Android beta to try to get the Move to iOS app to work. The update seemingly went fine and I was using my phone (on reddit lol) and suddenly it powered off.
Now when it starts I get a black screen that asyas "Fastboot Mode". My phone isn't unlocked so I haven't done anything funky with the firmware.
I'm afraid I've lost everything on the phone
Here's a picture of what the phone shows:
https://imgur.com/oBpGFGX
Well, the fact you can boot into fastboot is good news
Before we talk about possible actions:
- what ROM exactly were you coming from ? Was that rooted or with a custom kernel ? Was the device unlocked ?
- what ROM exactly have you been flashing ? By using which method ? Any additional steps you did while/after flashing this ?

You should never install Betas without having the bootloader unlocked. Is OEM unlocking at least enabled in Developer Options (I know you can't get in there right now, but was it enabled before the phone stopped being able to boot to Android)? If OEM unlocking is enabled, even with the bootloader locked now, you can try Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own).
If OEM unlocking isn't enabled, there's probably nothing you can do to fix the phone - you'll have to RMA it.
Pretty sure he can sideload an ota if USB debugging was enabled. One user reported they were able to sideload with locked bootloader

You can sideload OTA updateds without USB debugging enabled. It's really the only way forward for op.
