I am just curious after unlocking our bootloader, why can't we flash our phone with lineage ROM? What's the technical reasons for this restrictions.

Because no one is making Huawei nova 3i lineage os rom that's why only gsi is available.

After I used it with Lollipop droidboot ww t00j stock .78 I had problems with camera. It works only with kitkat?
@ XHook
have you worked on method to re-lock bootloader..
bricked my bootloader
After flashing this I couldn't access my fastboot. Now I can't even boot to system. I'm stuck at the USB logo, where usually I could reboot to fastboot (via pressing Power & Vol +) to fix this. But now I can't even access fastboot. When I press Power & Volume Up, it shows a battery icon. Please do help @XHook.
Editted:
Sorry for panicking back there. I forgot the reboot to recovery way using Power & Volume down. At least I can still boot to my system. I'll try to find a DIY solution for this. Sorry for panicking, @XHook.
Your tool uses Fastboot of 4.3 version right? Is that the difference?
no more update? camera not found, can this method by xhook solve the problem?
i've tried this version, but make my bootloader missing/bricked, same with ezrawk post
Note : When I installed this version >> 3.24.40.87 latest stock lollipop firmware
@XHook, tell me what your firmware version when you install this UBL method.
Thanks

I was using a custom recovery (TWRP) at that time so I flashed a fastboot via install. If you aren't using a custom recovery, you'd probably want to check this out: Zenfone 5 A500CG, Zenfone 6 A600CG Last chance to debrick (This fix youre IMEI) by swiczak
About the flashable fastboot, try searching for it in the Help & Troubleshooting part, I think the user who upload the flashable fastboot zip was tank0412. Try PM-ing him. Sorry can't help you about this 'cause I forgot where I saved mine.
Goodluck!

[HOW TO] Install xPosed for Zenfone 5 firmware 3.24.40.87

Well the solution is very simple. Unlock bootloader and install TWRP then root your Zenfone 5. After that install Titanium Backup then uninstall the bloatware you never use (do it later,party link,What's Next.... etc) Make sure the ROM storage have about >25mb empty storage and then flash the Xposed SDK 21 V80 via TWRP and Congrats. Now you have succesfully installed Xposed on your Zenfone 5 Firmware 3.24.40.87.
All of the required files for the process you can just Google it.

Use these both Unlocked fastboot and custom TWRP. This can also avoid the bootloop problem.
And this is also applicable to any of the zenfone updates (both Kitkat and Lollipop)
Unlocked Fastboot + TWRP (28.1 MB) https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-6pyVYCz-kccG9lOFgzXzJWYU0&usp=sharing
Flash it from your current fastboot:
Copy to your adb folder and and do shift+open command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot_unlocker.img
adb reboot-bootloader
After fastboot reboot is completed, type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery zenfone_twrp.img
No need to reboot. Select Recovery in your phone
You'll be in the TWRP Recovery.
NOTE: This TWRP is very stable. I've tested it on my Zenfone 5.

It seems that you did not enable usb debug in Settings>General>Dev options.
If you did try another usb cable and at last try from another pc.
I also recommend Ubuntu Linux to FastBoot an Android device.

broken TWRP Recovery and locked bootloader

Hello guys, I'm on LineageOS. I want to go back to Oxygen OS. But I can't because of my locked bootloader.
I did try to connect with the pc via adb: "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it's says everytime bootloader is locked enable OEM. I know the OEM is in the Developer Options but not for me. It's not available.
What to do now?
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
It will wipe all of your data.

Yes, that means it's not enabled in developer options.
Now you say you don't have that OEM option available in the developer options - are you sure you've turned developer options on? If not do as @gorillaCF says above.
If you have done that and still don't have the option then back everything up, do a factory reset and try again immediately after that.

LineageOS 15.1 doesn't have the OEM unlock feature. Normally, if you temper with the system and lock the bootloader it won't boot at all making this option useless. At least that's what I've experienced. As others stated you can only use the unbrick tool which will definitely work or contact OnePlus for an L2 technician who will use the same tool to do so.
So how did you do this? Did you do "fastboot oem lock" with TWRP and LineageOS on the device?

Why the hell LineageOS 15.1 don't have the OEM unlock? This makes no sense, because now I have a big problem.
Yeah, the unbrick tool I'm lucky but for the others with different devices will not have this unbrick tool. That's very stupid. It will be last time for me, with LineageOS.

Normally, it is impossible to lock it without fastboot. Again, it's not LOS's fault. You should never lock your bootloader if on a custom ROM or modified system. I've been running LOS 15.1 for almost a week and never had such an issue.

Sorry sir, but the factory Images means stock ROM and stock recovery.
Can't flash both
Why there is no backdoor for this situation? Why is this not possible, that you need by Factory images no unlocked bootloader. That would fix many problems.

[UPDATED] Unlock bootloader of Meizu M5c and install TWRP

I am not responsible for any brick.
I tested this guide myself and decided to share it.
Make a backup before this guide because you will lose your data!
The unlock method has been updated and now you can unlock the bootloader more easily without the risk of bricking after an OTA and without changing the bootloader.
Now you can safely unlock the bootloader using mtkclient.
Link: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
TWRP can be installed via mtkclient or manually from rooted Android.
TWRP Download link: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c/releases
IF you unlocked the bootloader with the old method you can follow these steps:
1) Download the attached package.
2) Download OTA zip from flyme, link: http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=70&type=1
3) Download the latest version of SP Flash Tool.
4) Download MTKClient and follow the instructions to install it.
5) Power off the phone and keep unplugged it from PC.
6) Open SP Flash Tool, select the downloaded package and select all partitions, then press the download button, don't plug phone for now.
7) Boot to recovery with vol +, plug the phone on PC, depending on recovery, TWRP or stock, use adb sideload or put update.zip in internal memory and install the zip.
8) Let the phone reboot or reboot it manually.
9) Now start the flash from SP Flash tool automatically, let it finish.
10) After the flash, unplug the phone and reboot into recovery.
11) Paste the update.zip in the phone and flash it.
12) After reboot, let your phone reboot into android and power off.
13) You can follow the guide to unlock bootloader with mtkclient.
FAQ:
A) But will I lose the data with this guide?
Yes.
Make sure to back up your data in any case!
B) But this guide is a bit different than usual, where is "fastboot oem unlock"? Or "fastboot flashing unlock"?
Meizu has not implemented an unlock command and in this case to unlock the bootloader we have to use a tool that makes us change the unlock status.
C) Are there Custom ROMs?
There is only one custom ROM for this device, the Lineage OS 14 but I advise against using it because it has a bit of a bug but I haven't had more time to work on it yet.
D) But wasn't the guide different?
It has been updated with a better method with more advantages.
E) My device is in Hard Brick! How can I solve?
There are various types of Hard Brick and it depends from situation to situation.
F) I have installed Lineage OS 14 but I am not satisfied, I want to go back to Flyme!
Flash update.zip from official website.
G) Can I relock the bootloader?
From MTKClient readme:
for relocking use:
python mtk da seccfg lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
H) TWRP? I am interested in Device Tree, where is the link?
Here: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c
I) I have a Meizu A5 (Chinese M5c) will it work on it?
I can't assure you anything but it could work, the only way to be sure is to test on a Meizu A5.
J) Can I flash twrp from fastboot?
Fastboot refuses to flash partitions, strangely, I don't know if downgrade or anything changes the situation but for now I was able to flash it with mtkclient.
I can remove the FlameOs from the Meizu M5c and install a custom rom. So far I haven't found any rom for this device?

You unplugged the device while it was formatting, consequently it no longer has the bootloader, that error means that the device needs an authorization file that unfortunately only meizu has, shortly if I can try to release a tool to unbrick it in cases similar to these

Ok i found a working guide, tried on my M5c and it works:
Search on YouTube: flash mtk without da ,
You will find a video called, just exactly as I write here: "How to flash MTK secure boot devices without a custom DA" and follow the video tutorial for unbrick your device.
P.S:Obviously when the guide ends you flash the ROM from SP flash tool as you normally would

Did you finally manage to fix the device?
Were you able to get on with the guide?

I haven't had time to do it yet. When I have time I will follow the tutorial and tell you if it worked.

XRed_CubeX, I followed the tutorial from start to finish. I used the SP Flash Tool to install the M5c stock ROM, the ROM was flashed 100%, but after disconnecting the USB cable the phone did not turn on.

Have you flashed the Stock ROM or the Engineering ROM? I remind you that even if you have flashed the eng rom only once previously, you can no longer return to the flyme bootloader so use the normal stock ROM but you will have to flash the Engineering rom

Well, I flashed the stock ROM a second time, using the Firmware Upgrade option, and it worked. My phone turned on and I'm in the initial setup screen.
By the way, this Engineering ROM is the ROM you shared above? Do you think it is stable enough to be used? Maybe another day I'll install it, with care to not do anything wrong again

Yes, the ROM in this thread is ROM engineering, about the stability I can't tell you why I haven't tested it, the main purpose FOR ME was to get the bootloader unlock with this ROM, if you want to switch to ROM engineering you CAN install the flyme after installed the Engineering ROM but you must always modify the OTA zip so that some partitions do not flash but if you are interested I will talk about it in more detail and maybe I will give you a hand to flash flyme safely on bootloader engineering

Actually, the ROM I installed with SP Flash Tools was not the update.zip from the official Flyme OS website. I downloaded the stock rom from needrom.
I have done this several times before.
But now, strangely I can no longer update to the latest version. The version I'm running is Flyme 6.0.2.0G. I tried to download the update.zip file and install it manually by clicking on it, and it appeared "corrupted file". I also tried to use the Update application and "network error" appeared. But everything else is working perfectly.

I would like to know how to install the latest version of Flyme OS via TWRP. If you can tell how to do this..

can't release the Lineage because I'm fixing some bugs and I want to do some checks before releasing it publicly

Are you working on a custom Lineage OS ROM for this device? I'm interested, when you can publish it.. Do you have a prediction of when you will be able to release that ROM?

Ok, I'll explain in detail how it works: In the guide you will have read that you cannot return to the flyme using the stock rom or an unmodified OTA. This is a tip because once you flash the Engineering ROM, the engineering bootloader (which is essential for unlocking) will also be flashed, but the problem is that if you flash the stock bootloader (the flyme one, the one you surely have when you get the phone), the device for a reason unknown to me, probably the Engineering ROM modifies something in the device (?) and then goes into brick if you try to return to the flyme bootloader. To flash an OTA flyme on TWRP, you must first have some precautions: you must take the OTA on your computer (or a file explorer capable of editing zip files) and remove the following files: lk.bin preloader.bin (it will have a name longer but you still have to remove that) and tz.bin / trustzone.bin. Done like this, now the OTA becomes safe to install, you install it from TWRP, at the end of the flash it will give you an error but it is because it does not find the files we have removed but we can safely ignore it because it will have successfully installed the flyme on the device.
Regarding lineage: I'm still working on it a bit and gradually I'm discovering bugs. I already warn you that the camera will not work in the Lineage, I have tried in every way to try to make it work but it does not want to go, I have asked for help everywhere but no one has been able to answer so I do not know what to do, for the rest I want to keep a little longer the ROM under test to fix the remaining bugs
