I forgot to to say in the video: if your device does not allow unlocking of the bootloader to flash partition images, you might be able to circumvent this issue depending of the processor used: if it's a Qualcomm CPU, Emergency Download Mode (EDL) might be able to be used. If it's a Mediatek CPU, the brom mode might also be used in the same way, or exploited with mtkclient to be used in the same way. But all of this is device specific and should not be used unless the regular unlocking system of the bootloader is impossible.
