X722 brick can not unbrick now , becaus can not file QFIL , but if your phone can work now , please you downgrade to 20S and flash to 26S , it will OEM will unlock , but you don't update to official 26S, only flash the firmware at the link https://www.needrom.com/download/le...728-multilanguage-rom-unbrick-phone-fastboot/
If a rom 26S does not block bootloader it is because it is a custom rom 26S.

You can do exactly the same with any custom 26S.

Greetings.

P.S. NEVER flash official 26S firmware, contains routine blocking. Only 26S firmware modified that does not activate blocking. The lock is on the official firmware and boot.img, not on the rom.

Can you post flashable S26 rom, with twrp or stock recovery, which doesn't lock the bootloader?

x722

I have a nandroid copy of 20S Shop ROM boot. I made nandroid copies of all major partitions (the same ones that have stock ROM) before installing 26S Stock. I used the TWRP of the X722 version to install the ROM. Everything worked. Then I installed the GApps and gave it some error and rebooted. Now I have the bootloader locked, it does not go into recovery mode and it does not start the system. Totally brick.
And the worst: QFIL does not work here. I have tested on different versions, different computers, different drivers and nothing. He always gives this error:
Code:
15:47:28: ERROR: function: rx_data:247 Error occurred while reading from COM port
15:47:28: ERROR: function: sahara_main:924 Sahara protocol error
15:47:28: ERROR: function: main:303 Uploading  Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Fail:Process fail
And Windows emits the disconnected device sound.
Here is a detailed log using the command to send the FireHose through the CMD:
Log.txt
Any solution happens to me the same thing is hard or soft brick?
it does not let me do anything, the android logo and there I know that and the bootloader blocked

Why it booter first at first try, if he installed the 26S with twrp? Only first boot is working?
Translation problems

I do not understand well to sonia gaizka.
I do not understand well to D1stRU3T0R :laugh:

But...
Black screen, and bootloader blocked on X722 is permanent brick.
