I just went through the steps on one of my Duo2 devices, these have worked before but now on the second device they do not. The device is in a boot loop in boot loader mode. |

last thing to resolve is re-locking the bootloader. I have the latest platform tools 35.02 from last year. but when I send the lock command I get looking at the output of In settings in the OS the OEM unlock is off and grayed out, so not sure what is going on there. Anyone got a tip? |

Also a dump of getvar all. Could this be related to the treble-enabled:true variable? Or the vendor partition not been updated on the recover? |

Not sure if you figured ths out but if you see the green dead robot guy then hold volume up and hit the power button and that should get you back into recovery mode. I had to flash twice. |

I unbricked my duo2, here is what happened. I misspelled my model name on Microsoft's recovery website, this nust have made my duo2 unbootable. So if you don't want that to happen, just copy the name you get when typing adb devices. I managed to boot into recovery again without flashing it, probably because the devices battery hit 0% and therefore the recovery reset itself. Hope this helps anybody! |
