it has been reported that TWRP builds for klte do something strange and stop REPIT from locking the eMMC device. that, or the reporter's phone is encrypted.

see details here.

WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!!

in view of recent events, and taking into account that this device is Qualcomm-based, the possibility of hard-bricking by repartitioning cannot be ruled out.

potential testers proceed at your own peril.
