Trapped in fastboot mode with locked bootloader and corrupted custom ROM

That’s a hard one…

… I mean successfully booted and unbootable at the same time :thinking:

Some more information would be great, I don’t have a locked phone to reproduce this:

  • I assume you already tried changing the slot to b (is that even possible while locked)
  • I assume you already tried running fastboot flashing unlock, Android docs only mention it shouldn’t work
  • What actually happens if you choose Recovery mode in the bootloader or use fastboot reboot recovery

If all else fails, Emergency Download Mode (EDL) would be a way forward, but I haven’t found leaked firehose files for the SoC yet. So support are probably the only ones who can help you there.
