(this is a repost of my now closed post as a bug report)

Im trying to unlock my Lumia 925 with WPI. The thing is, it doesnt want to.

I select my ffu, emergency folder and sbl3 file. The tool boots phone into flashing mode and then say "Switching to Emergency Download Mode..." and keeps loading infinitely, rendering phone unuseable until i put it on red nokia screen with thor2 and flash the original .ffu with wpi (which ive done so much right now i think i can write that command on my own atp).

Ive tried on multiple computers, on windows 11, 10, 8.1. On AMD and intel devices and theres still no difference. Ive deleted and reinstalled qualcomm drivers, wdrt and its drivers one by one. Use WPInternals v3.0.0 P4. Still, no difference.

Mind you, i can use thor2 and flash original ffu without any problems. But i cant, for some reason, unlock this devices bootloader.

Is there anything i can do or have i bought like the only un-unlock-able lumia 925 ever? Im desparate.

Thanks in advance.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Use WPInternals tool.
  2. Click on Unlock bootloader
  3. select necessary files aswell as SBL3
  4. click unlock
  5. phone reboots in flash mode
  6. WPI says "Switching to Emergency Download Mode..."
  7. phone bricks, WPI keep on loading forever

Expected behavior
