So i try to use the DSU Loader found in Developer Options to flash a GSI, but i forget to unlock the OEM and turn on the usb debug.
After installing a DSU and rebooting, the phone will attempt to boot the GSI but it shows "Your device is corrupt" and will no longer boot.
That said, the phone boot to fastboot mode automatically. But all the options under fastboot is not working, i can't get into the recovery mode and my laptop can't identify my phone when i connect to it.
Is there anyone know how i can fix it?

Do you have the latest android platform tools? Try different cables, different ports?

What command would i use ?:)
So you may want to use fastboot getvar current-slot to get what slot you are currently using. Then use fastboot --active-slot=(the opposite slot you are using) eg.fastboot --active-slot=a / fastboot --active-slot=b. Lastly, fastboot reboot
Ps. Sometimes fastboot --active-slot=a/b may not work so you can try with fastboot --active-slot= other to boot into non current slot. Anyway wish you all the best 🙂

Good evening, I have the same problem after using the DSU Loader, the mobile is stuck like the screenshot in the first post above. I've tried everything but can't unlock anything. Can someone help me ?

If your PC isn't detecting your device while in Fastboot mode, you don't have the correct drivers installed. This may help.

Never try to install non-factory software on a locked bootloader!

Since you didn't enable OEM unlocking, it's unlikely that you'll be able to recover your device. Still, focus on the driver issue for now and we can go from there. Do you have ADB Platform Tools installed?

I installed GSI directly from the smartphone, I don't think I used unofficial software. The pc recognizes the mobile phone in fastboot and I also tried with ADB platform tool, but every time I get the message of device blocked

ADB commands do not work in fastboot.
fastboot devices should show the device when connected in fastboot mode.

Try fastboot flashing unlock to unlock the bootloader, which will make recovering your device much easier.
