Hey.
had a problem with nexus ( maybe still have)
Gave it to O2 for repair.
Picked phone back today and Ive noticed that bootloader is unlocked ( wasn't)
as they have downloaded old software on the phone 4.0.1 , phone found new update.
When installing it, it came out with red exclamation mark .... after taking battery out, it wont find the update again....
had unlocked bootloader anything to do with updating ? how do I update now ?
How do I lock it back ? or is it better to leave it like it is ? what are advantages ??
thanks for all help
leave it unlocked learn to flash recovery then learn to flash ROMs and you can have 4.0.4 today

1) wait for the OTA update to arrive, or 2) see here.

Reboot into fastboot mode, plug into your computer (assuming you have the driver installed), open a command prompt in the same directory as your fastboot.exe file and type: fastboot oem lock

Yes, it is better to leave it unlocked.

If it is unlocked, you can use fastboot commands to flash images to your device - this may alleviate a lot of heartache later on. If you lock the bootloader, and you need to unlock it again, it will wipe all of your data (including anything stored on /sdcard).
thanks for all answers...
I have find out that they flashed my phone with yakjuxw and thats the reason it won't update I think
I was about to flash it last night, but I have noticed that the issue which was reason for me to give phone for repair is still there...
So will hold up with it and give it back to repair on Monday...again...

It is stuck on a screen with the battery. I can get to bootloader mode but cannot get into recovery. Bootloader is locked... Please help
Basically I had the bootloader unlocked and it was rooted. I unrooted the phone and then I locked the bootloader and I am here now. Just wanted to make it go back to stock.
Is it a carrier model or a play store

There probably isn't, if you've altered system and relock and toggle OEM unlocking off in dev. options you get bricked.

Did you try:
fastboot flashing unlock
Since you only relocked, you unlikely toggled "OEM unlock"?!
If it fails, I think you are SOL. Maybe someone with a proper solution will chime in. Otherwise, you have to RMA your device...
Good luck...

Hey... Go into recovery and perform a factory reset.
Reboot bootloader and flash stock firmware. You could flash both slots to be sure your device is completely clean.
I wrote a how-to for someone having another issue. You.can follow this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71849370&postcount=28
When you are finished with flashing, reboot to be sure your system boot properly and your phone works as it should...
From here you can reboot into bootloader and issue:
fastboot flashing lock
If It was me I'd leave it unlocked though... Or at least OEM unlock enabled and ADB debugging ON. Since Google tend to release messed up OTA, you can always unlock the bootloader if needed.
But if you wish you can also disable the OEM unlock.
Good luck...

I'm pretty inexperienced with this kind of stuff and so you might have to explain it a bit further than what that link says. I did fastboot reboot bootloader in terminal but it can't find my device. Also I couldnt get into recovery when it was bricked so I probably still can't

Hey...
You boot into bootloader when the Device is powered off
Just like in your video: with power + volume down
You can see infos regarding:
Bootloader
Radio
S/N
DRAM
Boot-slot=
Etc...
This is the bootloader :good:
From here, unzip the google image you have downloaded, open the folder and from here run the flash-all script. Let your device reboot. Power it down, boot into bootloader again with power + volume down. Change active slot as I described in the link I gave you previously. Run the same flash-all again... Done!
Just for safety, remove your Google account before you continue. You'll add it again later...
Good luck...

Hey... Flash both slots... Just to be sure both are clean and nothing problematic remains on your device before locking your bootloader!
It could brick installing an OTA or whatever. Better restart 100% clean. :good:
Cheers...
Just flash the flash-all, relock and call it a day. Then you'll be fully stock and locked. I would however recommend rebooting once before locking to make sure its all good.

Hey man I have the same problem you can try calling Google support they can send you a replacement if you still have a warranty
my warranty has expired so I'm on my own
So I recently got my hand on a pixel 2 xl without the operating system.
I know this is an issue happened to some devices and the best way is to send it back to Google for a replacement.
However neither do I have the box and receive with me nor I am living in the official launch area. So there is no easy way for a replacement from Google. (I can't even post question at there official pixel user forum)
Therefore I really would love to know if I can indeed install the official ROM with tool like this one? https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3730226
And hopefully won't wasted a good device.

Did you have OEM Unlocking checked in Developer options before it happened? If yes you can flash factory images
If you have the stock recovery and can boot into it you can adb sideload the most recent ota zip.

Thanks for the answering guys, however I think it is one of the machine that Google ships with a OS in it... so I don't think OEM unlocking is enabled nor the recovery is working.

You can get the bootloader lock status simply by booting into the bootloader. Locked or unlocked? You don't "think" it has a working recovery is not good enough to help you. If it does have a stable recovery, you can flash the OTA. If it does not and the bootloader is locked you are S.O.L. and the phone is dead. Follow this video and let us know.

If you can hold down volume and hit power to get into bootloader and choose Recovery, you can fix this phone.
Go here: read instructions at top. You will be booting to bootloader, then to recovery, then choose Apply Update from ADB.
Then give adb OTA command as described. Don't skip or modify any step.

I am in this exact same situation. Did you ever figure it out? Or did anyone figure it out?

Just use deuce script to flash the factory image guys. That's what I did when I got the no os message. Mines started when I ignorantly thought I had to relock bootloader before flashing stock.

Locked bootloader wont let me use the script.
If your bootloader is locked with no way to unlock it, and with no working recovery, you're screwed. The device needs to be sent to Google to fix, which is rather problematic when the device is in a country where it wasn't sold.

Did you try? I used it with no 0S installed so oem unlock couldnt have been engaged.
I unlocked bootloader via Bootloader and cmd
and it gave no problems
But when I watch flash Magic 18.1 and make a restart it only comes to the Oneplus screen and does not go any further.
have tried both
TWRP-3.2.3-0-20190311-codeworkx-dumpling
TWRP-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_treble-op5_op5t
TWRP-3.2.3-2-dumpling
And none of them get my phone rooted?
When I uninstall Magic run my phone again and it is still unloced bootloader
What can be done to get it rooted

First of all, I just said it was a stupid thing to say because you don't need to unlock the bootloader and you must use the side USB c port to flash via fastboot. Second: learn to interpret proper English because I didn't offend anyone. End of conversation

i have the same issue of not able to get into recovery but able to go into fastboot while trying to boot normally just gets stuck at logo phone is able to charge. Showed to a local repair shop who says its a power ic issue searched web where someone mentioned about issue w flash memory (this was for some samsung phone not sure if it applies to mi). I have no clue does anyone know how i can eliminate some of my doubs step by step?
1. I think it may be my power/volume button strip but i dont know how can i test thee device without the strip (i have some schematics) .
2. Maybe Rom issue and since bootloader is locked and no usb debugging enabled nor i can unlock it using official tool since it requires me to go to developer settings and link my mi account i cant flash anything (though i came across some posts claiming you can bypass edl authorization using 2017-18 flash tools and anti5 test i dont have a clue as to what to do).
3. due to recent conflicts i cannot access mi india forums and nor can download proper official stock rom( since its my relatives phone i dont know what version it was on )
4. the phone was dropped previously which cracked the glass but was in working condition for more than 3-4 months atleast .Cant find any trace of water damage inside.
5. got some schematics from web by searching here and there but i dont know how to troubleshoot lol.
Any help would be appreciated , i cannot trust local technicians as there have been past incidences of missing parts from device after they keep for a day and return next day(skeptical if there are some parts missing or replaced w defective ones ).
Will update if i get it working.
