Unlocked bootloader, fastboot not exist

[SiNec]

Hey, I have a problem, I spend 2 days on it and can't find solution. So in the past I unlocked bootloader, used Qfil, everything was fine but few months ago i switch to Z fold 3 and stop using my G8X, now I have a buyer for that phone and I can't lock bootloader at all.

So manual pressing buttons not working, I tried hundred times. adb reboot bootloader/fastboot just restarting my phone. I have access to recovery, EDL mode etc, my phone is visible as adb devices.
Choosing option restart to bootloader in recovery just restarting my phone. I tried every f**cking thing to do it with Qfil and do it again with switching abl_a etc but It's always sahara fail doesn't matter what version qfil or QPST is. I even installed clear windows 7 and still same problem (on my main PC I'm using windows 11). adb, fastboot, qualcomm 9008, lg drivers, everything is installed.

I installed different OS with KDZ with android 9/10/11, Canadian/US, no different

I beg you, please give me something what I can try cause I'm going crazy here. Like it's unlocked, it's not a phone what you can't unlock. I was hoping to write fastboot oem lock and that's it.

With unlocked bootloader fingerprint reader not working. Guy is waiting with money, I said I need few days to fix it but I feel I tried everything.


Thanks everyone who will answer here.

You can try use ADB,adb reboot fastboot.If can't enter fastboot,that may be because boot or abl does not support FastBoot,you can try using adb reboot bootloader.

Like I said adb reboot fastboot and adb reboot bootloader just restarting my phone

If you cant get into qfil, then why are u expecting to get fastboot mode????
First load eng abl. For sahara error, use a different usb port, or restart to edl when you are connected to qfil or use a different pc.

In 2 days of struggling I tried everything even if obviously it was stupid and not possible but that actually was answer to guy who said to try use that commends

I tried my PC and my laptop. Both of them had windows 11, I even installed Windows 7 on my laptop after many fails on both devices, all usb port on PC and laptop checked with 5 cables, with PC on tower cases and motherboard, on laptops i tried even usb type C, no results. Cable and PC exactly same what few month ago I used to unlocked it.

I'm always in edl mode cause with booted phone is just says "switch to edl -> fail to switch into emergency download mode"

I'm not good at English, hope you understand: how to lock bootloader
edl mode -> use QFIL load image abl_a, abl_b by abl unlock file ( this step help you get in to fastboot mode).
get into fastboot mode: using fastboot command
fastboot flash abl_a xxx (xxx = your stock abl_a file)
fastboot flash abl_b xxx (xxx = your stock abl_b file)
fastboot flash boot_a xxx (xxx = your stock boot_a file)
fastboot flash boot_a xxx (xxx = your stock boot_b file)
fastboot oem lock


but lock bootloader doesn't fix fingerprint scanner working, have to downgrade to android 9 and fix by hide code *#546368#*xxx# example:

Thanks for reply. Its almost 3am for me and still fighting with it Fingerprint is one thing but my guy want locked bootloader cause he is scared of stuff like that and it shows warning when boot up.

But could you explain more your way with edl mode? I dont get it. Im trying for the whole day make rawprogram and patch so I could finally use QFIL, without it it's sahara problem. But all methods online are old. Most of it not supporting new KDZ files, python way not working, linux way not working. My phone is in 9008 drivers when in EDL mode and its not visible for adb. It's only visible with normal mode.

Is your way skip qfil and load modified adl files straight into device?

if you want lock bootloader, enter edl mode, use QFIL load image abl_a and abl_b by a abl file (using to unlock), it help you can get intro fastboot ( press -vol and power until you hear sound on windows, release power, keep hold -vol ), when you get intro fastboot mode (status: unlocked) flash your stock abl_a abl_b boot_a boot_b by fastboot command before you lock bootloader by command: fastboot oem lock

But I cant use Qfil, All ways to get rawprogram and patch0 not works anymore. Some of them not supporting new KDZ, some of them have problems in general. I tried python way, linux way etc. All youtube videos are outdated. Idk how I can get that files for my g8x. without that(I think) I'm getting Sahara fail error and cant open partition menager. Last year when I was unlocking my bootloader everything work perfect, I rooted like 10lg before, first time in my life I have such a big problem with that phone.

I'm still getting sahara fail error. 2 computers, trying windows 11, windows 8, windows 7, bunch of different drivers, 5 cables, still nothing. It's still "unable to read packet header" error :/

Unistall your QFIL, try this: https://www.mediafire.com/file/220h5xaxi1gd55m/QPST_2.7.496.zip/file
If it wont work, I give in.

Friend I have a problem with my g8x and the fingerprint sensor, since I did a bad flashed to a11 it does not work for me it gives me an error, do you think that downloading a9 can fix it?

I have blocked the network and error in nt code but I have understood that in another problem and it is fixed through server

I've tried A9 (the indian variant given that's the one people say works) to fix my fp scanner and had no luck, but that's the only solution people give so maybe on yours it will work.

I tried with Android 9 UM version and it works. Test will fail but when you go to the settings it will let you to scan fingerprint. After that you need to update phone from the phone, not installing new KDZ. when you will update to androind 10/11(yours prefers) it's still working. I even did factory reset and it still works fine
