FAILED (remote: unlock device to use this command)
Note: I have already unlocked my device by using the unlock tool within the link.
Try rooting the device using KingRoot. If it doesn’t, your bootloader is still locked.
Its Means Your Bootloader is Still Locked. You Have To unlock Bootloader First.
