Question Screen lock after unlocking bootloader - Red Magic 8 pro

After unlocking bootloader on this device, I can't set any form of screen lock.
Error message: "Screen lock was already changed. Try again with the new screen lock."
Anyone know a workaround as no screen lock is very inconvenient

ive been trying to get around this for a couple days now. Its a bit frustrating since most fixes for this issue from previous devices reference files or directories that don't exist. I believe its due to the hardware gatekeeper.

seems so, the only way I've found to fix it is to relock bootloader.

Have you tried recalibrating your fingerprint reader?

There is an old guide for this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...er-print-after-loss-data-calibration.4132961/) recommended to buy the cheap calibration device thing on ebay/aliexpress

Yea everything is fixed by locking bootloader, other than the fact that unlocking will void warrsnty

It is possible to lock and keep root, but flashing vbmeta to avoid signature check. I don't know if vbmeta patched is available for this though.

I know a bit of Chinese, however I've tried to dechiper it, but I used a little Google Translate and had to change some wordings.
Unlock BL fingerprint loss:
This problem usually occurs on the old version of the system. If your mobile phone unlocks BL, the fingerprint pattern and digital password appear.
Unable to open the problem, please try to download the latest version of the system here, and perform a local upgrade. After completion, directly enter
Enter the fastboot flashing lock, and follow the prompts to lock the BL. If your hardware is not damaged in any way, generally
After locking, problems such as fingerprints can be solved. After confirming that the mobile phone is up to the latest version, and all fingerprint functions are normal, try again
Unlock the BL once, and the fingerprint and other functions will return to normal.
Go into mask ROOT:
Starting from Android 13, the partition for magisk maintenance must be init_boot. From the card package of the same version, we extract
The init_boot partition and the boot partition are completely useless here, but it is recommended that you make a backup if anything goes wrong.
After brushing the init_boot and boot partitions into errors, you can also use the backup file to flash into the correct partitions to restore your phone from a bricked state.
Card FASTBOOT mode:
After unlocking BL, brush in the boot or init_boot file that is different from the system version, and your phone will be stuck in fastboot
interface. Manually flashing the img file unpacked by bin may cause your mobile phone to be directly stuck in fastboot mode. generally
In case of such bricking, we can use the wire brush package to repair your bricking situation. from fastboot mode, also
You can switch to fastbootd mode, use a third-party tool, and directly flash the payload.bin file to save the phone from bricks.
We do not recommend that you format the root partition, which will cause great trouble to saving your bricked phone.
At present, the Red Devils 8 Pro system has a high threshold for flashing. If novice users have problems, they need to find answers in ROM Paradise, especially
When the phone is bricked and cannot be started, flash the phone carefully. If you don’t have strong hands-on skills or you’re afraid that you’ll get bricked by mistake, you can also contact the ROM Paradise team directly to flash the machine and remotely save the brick ROOT, safe and worry-free

I have tested this and it does NOT work. I flashed latest CN ROM V2.24. Locked the bootloader fingerprint worked but then after unlocking it still fails. Also tried many other official ROMs. Don't waste your time like I did

Мне удалось заблокировать загрузчик. И у меня все работало и отпечатки пальцев и все. Просто пришлось два раза подряд обновить телефон на блокировку загрузчика версии 4.18 в корень телефона через три точки Red Magic 8 pro 11.03.2023
Mod translation: I managed to lock the bootloader. And everything worked for me and fingerprints and everything. I just had to update the phone twice in a row to lock the bootloader version 4.18 to the root of the phone through three points Red Magic 8 pro 03/11/2023

Last night I finished setting up this phone. Signing into work with the Microsoft apps was the last thing, and Microsoft encrypted my phone. Since then my fingerprint reader is no longer calibrated. I tried the guide posted her for the Red Magic 5G, but after several tries, I haven't been lucky yet.
I'm tempted to wipe the phone and see if the fingerprint reader will start working again if the phone isn't encrypted. Any thoughts before I spend another day setting up my phone?

Господа, кто-нибудь решил проблему "Screen lock was already changed try again with the new screen lock"?
У меня только открыт загрузчик, рут не получал ещё
Mod translation:
Gentlemen, has anyone solved the problem "Screen lock was already changed try again with the new screen lock"?
I only have the bootloader open, I have not received the root yet

yes,you can!only support CN firmware,but WW firmware upgrades are not supported. The WW version of the firmware upgrade, you need to download the update package to the root directory, restart the phone to detect the update.

Damn! I should have waited for this. Too late. I used unlock tool. Now Asus has my unlock info.
One question. Can I relock if I originally unlocked using asus unlock apk tool???
to confirm.......
i have a factory locked, untouched WW 512 unit. If i use this tool, i can unlock WITHOUT Asus knowing? no downsides?
@johnny886,
Thank for this, I waited for something like this, wanted to unlock the bootloader without using that app that gives IMEI to asus, a total offline boot-loader unlock.
although i stuck in step 3 ".update_image_EDL.bat”, dos prompt instantly closes. It may be a driver issue, as im not familiar with drivers for this phone, can you upload the drivers, only thing missing in this pack.

There are no disadvantages, the only benefit is that you can unlock your phone through EDL mode, no need to install UnlockTool.apk to apply for unlock! The ASUS server will not get your unlocked status, you can get upgrades via OTA later.

Oh sorry, I forgot to upload the driver for Qualcomm! You can download and install this tool on your computer, and then follow the steps to unlock it! Download link:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PRw4jcg0zQKLQnMz7gApMZtCYex1PfJM
How about Burnt Fuses? Does something like this occur? Basically, i want to ensure that the fact that ive unlocked is hidden for warrenty. (I can always re-lock before sending back if i need to)
It would suck for them to tell me, that they wont service it because it was previously unlocked.

had anyone tried this method on previous unlocked device? did it will regain CN FOTA? thanks!
Hi, i tried but stuck on step 3, any way to solve? tried to change the usb port but same thing happened.
on step 3:.Double click to open “1.update_image_EDL.bat”,
it said: {ERROR: WritePort:5164 Could not write to '\\.\COM10', Windows API WriteFile failed! Your device is probably *not* on this port, attempted 100 times
@johnny886,
Hi, I installed the Qualcomm drivers but for step 3 "1.update_image_EDL.bat”, it still prompts and closes immediately and I'm not sure how to QPST or QFIL. Are there ways to fix the bat file or provide a more detaisl on using QPST or QFIL please?
You can root without unlock bootloader?
Deleted, misread, don't think it's relevant...
So I did this and now my headphones jack isn't working. Has this happened to anyone else?
Update: The current workaround is to use the headphone jack of the included cooling fan.
Update 2: So it may have something to do with the bootloader that was flashed during the EDL unlocking process, which seems to be a generic SD855 bootloader. I came to this conclusion after I noticed that I was being limited to 70% battery charge. I flashed the WW 1910.35 OTA from ASUS' site and the battery now charges to 100%, but the headphone jack still remains broken. I will try to flash the WW 1910.44 update through fastboot when I get home, which I'm hoping will have whatever partition that was overwritten during the unlocking process.
Update 3: I figured it out. After using "fastboot flash boot TWRP.img" to boot into TWRP initially, I didn't flash the stock boot image again. This broke the headphone jack. So after booting into TWRP using that command, I had to flash the stock boot image first, then flash the TWRP and Magisk installers in that order. Hope this helps someone.

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

You will need to enter an command in fastboot mode but be aware backup every necessary things
If you didn't rooted or touched boot.img just use this command in fastboot and the bootloader will be locked again

Hello @mark332
I will b very greatful if u upload stock boot img v2.21 somewhere and send me link. Due to bad internet in Vietnam these days i cant download full rom
@kaiwayne
I just extracted it (v 2.21) using "payload dumper go", will attach it.
if you wan to use it to root using magisk, make sure to first do a
fastboot boot ./magisk_patched_somethingblabla.img
then check if the phone boots without any issues and only then do a
fastboot flash boot ./magisk_patched_somethingblabla.img
you get the point

So can you unlock your phone or it's not being unlocked like at all?
Have you tried wiping the device (that should happen automatically after unlocking bootloader, but still)? Also, did you recalibrate fingerprint sensor?

Once in fastboot type the following command to unlock:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
Access fastboot then type the command:
fastboot flash init_boot_a magisk_patched-25200_3.18UN.img
fastboot reboot
Done
You check if the correct active slot is a, if it is b just change the command a with b
Only use for V3.18 version I have not tested other versions
Note: Absolutely do not patch the boot file, you will have a continuous boot error​
Root Done
The backups with just ommiting the B slots is 12.7 gb so i cant personally help you with that. Have you tried flashing the OTA's boot.img (might even try boot_a.img) and init_boot.img while slot A is selected? Not the magisk modded files either.

i flashed those 2 files but still can't boot the phone, go to logo then turn off the screen, can only go to fastboot and recovery, i sideload 47% it gives error
If you are rooted, please help me, I will send you coffee donate, please help me, full backup
I Pm'd you the backups now that i am at home, hopefully they help
Im at a stand still with this. I have already fastboot flashing unlock_critical as you can see in which it states Device already unlocked but whether I am in bootloader and fastboot I get Flashing is not allowed in a lock state. Any help from some else that ran into this or has knowledge on it?
Thanks
Update. Fixed the issue. Add the step of "fastboot flashing unlock" before "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
If You can flash a GSI, It'd be a decisive factor in getting people to buy this phone. The company should be paying you to do this, but they're probably too greedy to make a bigger profit
I've successfully flashed a few A13 GSIs but screen lock is a still a problem and so far calls and messaging doesn't work normally.
I know that this next question were asked before, but i keep not understanding much about it: if i revert back the root completely (unroot the phone, lock the oem and delete "third party apps" like magisk, etc.) will my warranty be back? i am talking about the redmagic 8 pro void specifically. Can someone help me understanding this? i have searched on internet about this and they all say that simply it depends on manufacturers to "detect" if the warranty was void (even if you unroot and lock oem and all).... Thank you in advance

Well once you unlock bootloader it clearly says warranty: void in fastboot so it probably is very easy to detect

In that case, why op said that the warranty can still be returned after relocking the bootloader?
As you see, it is very connfusing... Some guys say yes, some others not. :s

Did you follow the instructions correctly, this error may have you flashed the wrong boot file, right?

Yes, I unlocked the bootloader first.
Then I flash boot and an error occurred.
Did I get a brick or is there hope?)

Question Cannot set lock screen code after rooting

Am I just having a bunk phone or is anyone else having this issue?
Whenever I try to set up the lock screen code on the reconfirm the code screen it freezes after I put in the code and will not proceed.
This is a known issue, you have to cycle a bootloader lock and unlock WITHOUT setting any pin. Make sure to be completely stock tho before locking

Yeah, it's super weird. Just unlocking the bootloader causes this. But yeah from what I understand you should be completely unrooted and with stock boot images and or init boot images when relocking.
I am working on a Oneplus 11 phone where they had this same issue and he attempted to cycle lock/relock with the patched boot.img still loaded!
It is in a semi-unlocked state I would call it now where it says unlocked status (which it is) but unlocking is enabled and greyed out in dev options.
The bigger issue is that the Phone works fine but you cannot get to bootloader anymore to unlock. Never seen this....any suggestions?
...does Oneplus have something like Odin and can reflash full stock?

That is unlocked the unlock setting greys out on mine too. I got my lock screen to work as well. Super weird bug though.

Only over fastootd or with msm tool (msm tool need authentication )
I just flashed the whole OS on Oneplus 11 using software called Fastboot enhance.
Actually, my op 11 was bootlooping but by using fastboot enhance software I flashed my original OS on the phone. Let everyone know, they don't need Odin or MSM for that. It's very easy and one-click process.
Same problem, was advised to lock and unlock the bootloader. I locked it and didn't realize that I had to go back to stock first and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I can get into recovery with vol down and power, but cannot get into fastboot with vol up and power. Where do I go from here?
Sorry, I want to identify that this issue happen even I have not rooted?

Only when you have a convertet op11 (china ) and flash this to oos than after an oos Update you have flash back an image from coloros without this image the op 11 will bootloop
And when you have root and lock with root the bootloader than you have an bootloop
