      Stefano, do you have by any chance the modified proinfo file ? The link in the tut (https://mega.nz/#!8ZJ01aZK!2WfKciJk1...EGua32_76hTBac) is broken.

              Stefano, where should I dump the TWRP recovery image ? I left it on sdcard then I moved it into root directory but keep getting "error: cannot load TWRP_3.0_m86.img"
              Where it should be located so it picks up on that ?

                  Yes, I know. I'm in fastboot mode and typed: fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img but getting "error: cannot load TWRP_3.0_m86.img"

                  Hence I'm asking where it is looking for the file ?

                    @marek_python If I remember correctly you can go to the folder you have downloaded twrp to, open the terminal there then run the command.

                      @marek_python Need to go on your PC to right directory, e.g. if you have downloaded TWRP to Downloads, then go to Downloads. (cd /Downloads ) if you're using Linux, not sure about Windows or Mac

                        As turned out all I needed to do is to move the recovery file into 😄 in Windows and rename it to recovery.img . That should be noted in the guide. The fastboot won't pick up on the image unless it's called recovery.img

                              @marek_python said in Unlock the bootloader forcibly:

                              (...) I followed the tuts on XDA site all UT community is aware of. However, I can't pass the point where I'm supposed to type "su" into terminal emulator. It just spits out "Connection to ui timed out" meaning it won't let me execute the commands where I need elevated privileges. And for overwriting the proinfo file I do need to be root in the session. So far I haven't found a way to go around it.

                              I had the same problem, Terminal just hangs. So I simply use

                              adb shell
                              su

                              and a then following with the procedure (using simply cp instead of dd)
