hi, where is the post about how install recovery and roms in nova 3 parlx9 with bl unlocked.
i have the problem of ghost touch in screen.
thank you.
There's no custom recovery or roms. For this device. The bootlocker is unlockable.
This is another dud device from Huawei. Currently Xiaomi provides the best aftermarket support by allowing anyone to officially unlock their bootloader.

Hi,
i wan't to know if you may know why there are only few dev or kernel/roms for the LG G3 even if from what i've noticed the G3 is very popular?
P.S. I've seesn right now that the bootloader is locked, i don't know what does it mean exacltly but it seems to stop dev's, but aren't out there unoffical bootloader unlocking methods?
Unfortunately, LG didn't provided any official method to unlock bootloader. Developers are spending dozens of hours every day to find a bug and unlock bootloader using it. If you have locked bootloader then you cant flash any custom ROM like CM11 etc.

I hate LG for making such a perfect device that you even not hack, they're cruel, and maybe masochists because the avalibility of custom roms and customization of a device is one of the android's best features, so if the device would be unlocked it will increase their sales.
Holla! i'm thinking about getting the Zenfone 4GB ram variant .
but there is one thing that concern me and this is Custom ROMS
is the bootloader unlockable?
will it be possible to get CyanogenMod up and running on the device?
Not yet.
My 551ML does not show a locked bootloader, so I am able to flash a pre-rooted system.img file via fastboot. My guess is that CM and AOSP compiling will occur soonly.

To test whether the bootloader is locked or not, it would be a better idea to flash a custom kernel built from sources and see if it boots. According to the Asus forum (read here) the bootloader is locked and for now there is no plan to provide a way to unlock it.

I never understand WHY vendors like Asus, Motorola or Meizu makes ultra powerfull phones ... what we BUY for MONEY, and lock them for never let you install what you want...
I really want this phone ... but never will buy it if I can't install an AOSP custom made ROM ... (no CM, i hate it)
that why I always buyed unlocked phones like Nexus phones or my actual OnePlus One...
i hope the Lenovo K80, who will be released 30 april will be unlocked !
or the Elephone p7000 (for this, you can already find CM, AOSP, Flyme etc... roms on the OFFICIAL website !!!! )
I agree. I want to buy this phone, but I'm not going to until Asus allows to unlock the bootloader.

but..
In the warrenty document over on Asus Zenfone section the following details are interesting
Unusability or damage to the Product caused by installing and using the Unlock Device App, which is a utility that will unlock your Product's boot loader but will render the warranty null and void.
The pdf file can be reviewed from the Asus website
Does this help?

Odds are they were lazy and copied the warranty document over from the one for the previous Zenfone devices, which had bootloader unlock methods released by Asus. Hope they do the same with the Zenfone 2.
hmm...
But has anyone tried to unlock it by this method!

If bootloader is unlocked by default, people who are not suitable for that will brick the phone in a higher chance, with more issue varieties which increase the cost of after sale services like maintenance. Unless there is no warranty or support for the phone after sale, vendor will not unlock the bootloader.
I am under the impression the ZE550ML zenfone 2, I have, i that the boot loader is locked.
As it is proving impossible to root it using the pre root images available.
I have 2 sets of instructions that I have followed to the exact method, yet the phone will not root !!
1) ADB sideload method, in recovery mode, choose the ADB option. Zip file is in the folder with the ADB + fastboot files.......................................message in command is "unreadable zip or not recognised'......
Checked ADB device and ADB recognises zenfone attached to computer!
2) turn phone on and have debugging set.......................(no recovery mode) place system.img into fastboot folder...........open command via the shift + right click option............submit the line 'fastboot flash system system.img.........................continuously waiting for device......nothing else
Ive never known a more difficult phone to root, especially with all the easy straight forward instructions out there to follow.
So I'm of the impression the bootloader or something is stopping root
Anyone else had the same issue?

Hello,
I bought a 64gb version throw gearbest and they installed a vendors version 7.3.14.0.0 not oficial rom. With defeats the purpose of the bootloader being locked.
I want to install the original miui 8 china or miui 8 from xiaomi.eu.
If I unlock my bootloader by submitting the request to xiaomi what I lose? What are the disavantages?
Does the fingerprint reader works on a bootloader unlocked phone with official miui 8 china?
Does it work with xiaomi.eu rom?
What are the features that cease to work with an unlocked bootloader with these two roms?
If I install xiaomi.eu rom without unlock the bootloader using Doom Slayer method I must not update by OTA or I will brick it, right?
And oficial miui 8 can I update by OTA?
Sorry for these questions but is my first xiaomi with locked bootloader and don't want to screw up by not knowing the consequences of each method?
Thanks in advance

The fingerprint will work. But Find phone will not work and it will not be secure. But your phone will be less secure like if gets stolen anybody can flash firmware and you will be loser. With find my phone nobody could even flash firmware . I have got permission within 2 days for unlocking but i have not done but i have flashed chinese firmware by using miflash. the link is here http://en.miui.com/thread-326039-1-1.html. it is very safe that way.

Security is not about flashing, is about protecting your data. Encryption makes phone more secure, not locked bootloader. We have ways to flash whatever we want with locked bootloader... how about that? Do you still fil secure?
Thank you both,
@seking for what I could understand this is the xiaomi.eu rom with even more stuff, right?
Do you have the helium version?
For that rom you just need the miflash to flash the rom via fastboot, right?
This is different from the Doom Slayer method because with it we fastboot the TWRP recovery and then use it to flash the xiaomi rom.
@nijel8, that is my question also the locked bootloader doesn't add security, gearbest flashed a custom rom even with it locked, so the security reason isn't a valid one.
Partition encrypting is only available when the bootloader is locked? If so that is one feature that is gone with unlocking.
If one unlock the bootloader can later lock it again?
With the bootloader locked we can't use miflash tool to flash fastboot rom, right? Only using EDL, and even then from what I could understand the system and data partition need to be formatted and that removes the encryption...
I just want to get rid of a rom that I don't know what is it and install a oficial rom or a rom from good sources like xiaomi.eu
After replace my rom can I update it by OTA or after I must update only by fastboot ot TWRP?
Thanks again
Bootloader status has nothing to do with encryption. Encryption always is a user option in any ROM... Not sure about MIUI though b/c they enforce encryption on both system and userdata partitions in ramdisk fstab so no user choice as far as I know. And yes... You can always lock bootloader back but will loose your data in process.
Not going to answer the second set of questions (see my signature ) not b/c I don't know but b/c never done it myself so yeah...
mi max is comparatively new phone. there are notnmany roms. development still new. therefore be careful of what you flash. for hardbrick solving we have to open the back cover which is risky. i have taken the safe mthod of not unlocking it. i flashed the rom on the locked rom with miflash via EDL. one can always flash the official rom through twrp and you will be safe.
Thanks a lot you two.
Trying to get the most information before doing something wrong.
Don't worry... Mi Max poves to be die hard phone...
Hello.
I guess this is a question for the ones who are passionate about their phones, like me, more than a practical question, still, I see passionate people on this site and not only desperate ones.
I have a Mi4c, Android version 5.1 (Android 7 does not seem to allow for me to do what I do right now, I think, Xposed and what not). I applied for bootloader unlock permission, I've got it from Xiaomi yesterday.
Because this site gives such good guidance, I was able to easily unlock the bootloader before the official permission arrived.
What I ask you is this, does it make sense to (re)lock my bootloader via adb (and maybe flash a fastboot ROM) so that I can unlock the bootloader officially? As you know, the permission expires after a while, so it's now or never.
Right now my phone is working perfectly, TWRP, Globe ROM, Xposed. . .perfect.
What do you think, any advantages on unlocking officially?
Thank you.
Hello there, I've bought this model.
There was a custom ROM flashed on it when I get it.
I've flashed it back by the Stock Firmware.
Then I saw that the device is locked by Xiaomi.
What can I do?
The best option would be to unlock it with the Stock Firmware on it, so I would have any other Option,.
If this isn't possible I would like to know how I can flash a custom ROM on it.
The bootloader is also locked, so please help me.
Bye, JonnyBoy84

Ask seller for unlock bootloader again (Official way) and remove his account from phone. (But I don't think he had, maybe he got the phone by unofficial way also)
Or you can use free unofficial tool to unlock it (Unofficial way, easy to find on YouTube).
Then choose one custom rom from forum.
Follow guide and enjoy the rom
