Fairphone 6 bootloader relocking gone wrong

Installation Help
1

Hello guys, installing IodeOS with adb and fastboot was going well, i had the fairphone rebooting and the prompt for bootloader relocking showing…
i did’nt want to lock it right now but i got confused with the button and i did what i did not want : relocking right away and now i have seen a corrupt screen showing and the bootloader is in locked mode…
so did i bricked it ? Is there a way to unbrick it since i have the bootloader looping and i can’t even start fast boot or recovery mode …

What i don’t understand is that security patch from iode seems to be fairly newer than the factory one from fairphone OS, how could this happen ? :cry:

Where the dialog appeared? How that dialog looks like? OEM-Lock is another thing than bootloader unlock.

The vendor patch was newer? Are you sure you haven’t confused the patch with the platform patch?

Also if it helps i got this :

.\fastboot.exe flashing get_unlock_ability

(bootloader) get_unlock_ability: 1
OKAY [ 0.001s]
Finished. Total time: 0.001s

Good news. If you can unlock it again (and did) then there is no brick here. If you can start Recovery from the bootloader, then go in and do a factory reset. If that doesn’t give you a booting phone, then I suggest a re-attempt at flashing and post back any output you get.

unfortunatly, there is something i don’t understand here : even if i try to reboot from a command “fastboot reboot recovery” I still land on fastboot home page (https://xiaomitime.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Fastboot-mode-OnePlus.jpg)

Also i can launch the flash-all script but it’s stuck at the very beginning :

.\flash-all.bat
Erasing ‘avb_custom_key’ OKAY [ 0.009s]
Finished. Total time: 0.015s
Warning: skip copying avb_custom_key image avb footer (avb_custom_key partition size: 0, avb_custom_key image size: 1032).
Sending ‘avb_custom_key’ (1 KB)

and it idles for ages and ages …

thank’s again for your help :slight_smile:
