I have an XT1789-01 Verizon locked bootloader model Moto Z2 Force and I was successful in getting it into EDL mode (Qualcomm 9008). Is there a way I can flash TWRP with this? What exactly is possible with this? Thanks
the tmobile and at&t versions are the exact same model so if we get a phone to switch into this mode it may be possible to load it as a retail/tmobile version. im sure the verizon version has a similar issue as the at&t with a locked bootloader.

Well I'm trying to get TWRP flashed but I don't know how with EDL mode. It would bypass the need to unlock the bootloader if so. We could just flash a whole new bootloader from EDL, but I don't know how.

after a google search it seems there are tools that you can use to communicate with the device in edl mode but i dont know how easy it will be to accomplish what you are trying to do

If you share it maybe someone can figure it out for you
I was curious if there was a way to boot into edl mode, obviously you can brick it there. I have a few leads as to how it can be done, but I haven't pursued them as edl isn't a necessity for me and I don't want to find myself in a position that I can't get out of without redoing everything. I imagine if I ever borked my phone I might delve into it a bit more. I thought edl might offer a solution for those who aren't bricked, but find themselves with a false lock and unable to flash anything.
Mainly though I don't like your approach, wanting help but not offering help, that's not what XDA is about. I get it though, AT&T and Verizon has a bounty for unlocking their bootloader and edl might offer a step in that direction, but there's a lot more to it. I'll give you a hint though, there is no recovery partition on this phone. Good luck.

yeah i figured that much, chcecking the vzw default firmware shows boot.img and bootloader.img, im assuming boot is where twrp is installed.
So getting to EDL mode was suprisingly easy and stupid, but it is for sure 100% EDL mode.
abd reboot edl
that's all. Granted I haven't updated the phone in a while, Ihave December 1 2017 security patch and oreo 8.0.0.
since this information is now public i think it should be clear not to update the phone from now on.
Hi
I have 5 x Moto z2 strength is I would like how you operate EDL Emergency DownLoad mode.
# abd reboot edl -> OK
The phone goes off (apparently ...) And now I miss the tools to interact with the phone.
How did you do ? What tools? Which orders?
thank you in advance

Hello guys I have H815 and I can't proceed with unlocking bootloader cause my phone cannot boot into bootloader/fastboot mode. I'm not newbie, but with this phone everything goes ****ing different than in instruction.
I the instruction there is adb reboot bootloader. Of course my phone is seen in adb mode but after this command it just reboot to system. I tried also key combinations with no luck...
What to do?

Hi,
I'm the same...
looking for solution I found this on Youtube:
Pratically, you have to press vol up while connect USB on PC....
I haven't the G4 with my today and so I cannot test if this is a valid mode...
If you do this, let me know if you can enter in fastboot mode

I did that and yeah it entered this mode but it's not valid bootloader/fastboot mode. It's some service mode to update firmware. Anyway it's not visible in pc as a normal fastboot and I cannot proceed further with unlocking bootloader...
Edit: it's download mode... So as I said it's not fastboot mode.
Anyone can help?
Seriously nobody? I thought this phone has good community and support...
I'm facing the exact same problem with my H810 on 6.0. Sick of not being able to root atleast.
Seriously hasn't anyone on earth found a way to boot this **** in fastboot? I mean there are a number of tutorials but everything goes different as F*** with this thing. Hope someone will update with good news. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Thanks yeah I checked but that's for ARB<=2 devices. I forgot to mention earlier this godforsaken thing is ARB3.
I have an H811 (T-Mo) running firmware H81120p, ARB3. Doesn't seem to be much that can be done with it as far as rooting. It also has no stock recovery, only boots to system.
you did follow this official guide right? it unlocked mine after a few angry moments
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
use minimal ADB https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Only way to boot twrp later is to use fastboot with ADB, recovery with buttons doesn't work.
if the device wont boot a rom use adb to get back in recovery.
if you use bank apps, install magisk before installing rom, do not get SU

Only problem is that the info linked to above applies to ONE G4 variant only - the H815 international model. The rest of us are SOL. The bootloader on US carrier G4 - AT&T, T-Mo, VzW, etc (most later firmware revisions for G3 as well) models has been nailed down. The only exception is a G4 with ARB <= 2 can be hacked with UsU in order to root it and install a custom recovery.

Tmo is very easy
Go to dev options and enable adb
Then run "adb reboot bootloader"
Once there, run "fastboot oem unlock" and voila, you have an officially unlocked bootloader with no restrictions related to UsU
Please be aware the above will factory reset your device

Do you know anyone who has done it with H81120o or later? I've seen posts for two yrs about doing it that way, but I don't remember reading about it being done on 20o or later.

Why v20o
Remember, this has nothing to do with UsU and therefore ARB etc doesn't matter
Edit: ps there are loads of H811 users in my Lineage thread and the other ROMs too

Got it. Guess that it makes sense. ARB prevents rolling back to earlier release than 20o, I'm ok. Will try the BL unlock today then.

I actually managed to get my LG V20 F800L into same situation after messing up my rooting process.
First i was stuck at logo and factory reset did nothing. Bootloader was working then.
Then i downloaded new firmware through "Download Mode", and after that i lost access to bootloader.
I know the phone model is different, but process seems to be very similar for all LG devices.
Trying to troubleshoot that atm, if i'll have results i'll post them here.
P.S. I know original poster long left (probably after throwing phone into a grinder), but maybe for someone with same problem as us in the future the info will be useful.

Ok, now i have to reply to my own post, since i believe i understand now something important:
LG phones usually dont have bootloader open to access. Until you use some exploits to do so.
I did not know that at the time of writing that reply.

Hi guys,
I recently got a Moto Z2 Force XT1789-05 variant from Brazil which apparently tried to force an update to the pie but it must have been the wrong firmware so it lost imei and wifi. And it seems to relock the boot loader and have returned to oreo. Then I can not activate the OEM unlock, I even tried to use the internet from the PC via USB but still does not enable the option. I'm not sure what else to do does anyone know what to do ??? Help

Nothing yet, I tried what you sent but as it has the bootloader locked I believe it is preventing.

No. You just need to sign into google on your phone to enable oem unlocking. Might try pairing bluetooth to get a connection if possible. Might try using the lenovo moto smart tool to see if it'll do a rescue on it. With a locked bootloader typically you can only flash official signed firmware that is either the version or newer. Again, depending on what kind of mess you've got there you might not get anything to flash.

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.
I haven't seen any solutions to this problem in all the similar threads. All Canadian model sm-a705w have the OEM unlock disabled and not even in view under developer options. Any ideas? There must be a way to fix this.
What do you mean by OEM unlock? Bootloader or sim card? I have a Canadian model and it's not carrier locked at all. If it's bootloader you're looking for, that'll be hard to come by.

I'd like to know more about unlock bootloader, msm tool and about custom rom.
Does oneplus give us the ability to unlock the bootloader?
Is it possible to create a msm tool for it? I know that oneplus 10 pro had a problem with it...
As a oneplus 8/8 pro, 6T, op5, op3 and op1 user I always liked the fact that these were perfect phones for development. oneplus gives us such an opportunity at all now? My question is because I haven't seen it on op10pro...
I hope someone can answer these questions and we can talk about it together.

Thanks for sharing, I definitely need to try that! Did you press all keys and hold, or just press randomly?
So I can't get the drivers to recognize the device. OP does not have the 11 listed in the drivers download page. Are there other drivers that work?
**UPDATE** Disregard. Figured it out.
