Instructions for unlocking the bootloader on a Lenovo S60 phone

To unlock the bootloader on Lenovo phone S60 you will need a PC (there is an opinion that Win8-10 are not suitable - I have Win 10 and everything is fine). Before any manipulations, charge your Lenovo S60 smartphone. It is also important to use a whole, undamaged USB cable, not necessarily the original one - I use this USB cable 1.8m

Next, download and install all the necessary drivers on your PC. Lenovo_Usb_Driver and Qualcomm_USB_Drivers and firmware program for Lenovo S60 QPST 2.7.422

We check that all the necessary drivers have been installed - for this:

We enable USB debugging on the phone in the developer section. If the “For Developers” settings section is missing, go to Settings > About phone > “Device information” and click 10 times on the item "Firmware number". Then we go to Settings > For Developers- enable USB debugging

We connect the phone to the PC via a USB cable, dial *#*#8899#*#* in the dialer and click on “OK”.

Open Device Manager on your PC - you should have it as shown in the screenshot (port numbers may differ).

When requesting the first command via ADB from a PC, on the smartphone you must provide access to this action. Check the box "Always allow debugging from of this computer" and click "OK"

And now the process of unlocking Bootloader on a Lenovo S60 smartphone

Download the attached archive S60-ROW(CN)_UnLock_BootLoader.7z and unpack its contents to the root of any disk.

Launch the QFIL utility (Start > All Programs > QPST > QFIL)

In the QFIL program window that opens, fill in the following fields:

in the Programmer patch field, indicate the path to the file prog_emmc_firehose_8916.mbn, to do this, click on the “Browse” button, in the window that opens, indicate the path to the S60_UnLock_BootLoader folder, then select the file prog_emmc_firehose_8916.mbn and click “Open”.
click on the “Load XML...” button, in the window that opens, indicate the path to the S60_UnLock_BootLoader folder, then select one by one - first rawprogram0.xml and click “Open”, and then patch0.xml and also click “Open”.

3. Make sure that the QFIL program sees the smartphone as Lenovo HS-USB Diagnostics.
