On one hand. Verizon will not allow it.

The 2nd hand google is buying Motorola so why should Motorola unlock the bootloaders for google.
[Motorola Droid 3] Milt75:
If we can get an unlocked bootloader for one Droid 3 (say xt862), will it work for any version? Milestone 3, Milestone 3 4G, etc...

Sorry for the link, but I'm not allowed to write it in another way (new user).
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
That just isn't true! If this was really Verizon not allowing it, then why can you unlock HTC phones? The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is also unlockable. My point is that Verizon may not allow the phone to be sold/activated while unlocked, but they can't stop unlock solutions from being available. This is entirely on Motorola.

Google is clearly an advocate of open/unlocked software. The Android platform and every Nexus phone is testament to this. Motorola being bought by Google does make it a significant probability that they too will have to adopt this same approach to open/unlocked software. With Google as the owner of Motorola, they would certainly have fingers pointing at them should Motorola continue with locked down phones.

Hmmph...still locked.
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Lol damn Adam.h.ogle and I thought we were so close, maybe the trick is to all flash at the same time.

I've bought Droid 3 from Ebay and it was engineering sample, in boot I have "AP Fastboot Flash Mode 0A.12", can it be helpful for developers?
[Motorola Droid 3] boazal:
from my point of view

the locking bootloaders is a marketing issue. (only)

carriers do not want to allow easy roaming of tham clients to other carriers, that is the all story

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] musicfanat:
After upgrade from MIUI-1.12.9_MUL_IDEOS_X5 to MIUI-1.12.16_MUL_IDEOS_X5 (with cache and dalvik wipes) all work fine BUT: New upps installed appears twice on the desktop. I.e. 2 icons appears for the same app. The second icon could be sent to trash without suggestion to uninstall the app. But it is annoying to clear desktop after installing new apps.

What is wrong????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JerryScript:
I have a new project I want to start, and I will probably need some help.

I am concerned with Android's download policy. It is way too easy to download something malicious. There is no prompt confirming you want to download something, it just begins once you click on a link to a downloadable file, or open an app. Downloads can also be triggered in many other ways, all of which provide no confirmation prompt. It has been proven at several blackhat conferences over the past few months that certain parts of the Android download system can be compromised in such a way that apps can be downloaded, installed, and activated with virtually no user interaction beyond visiting an app window or a webpage. This can result in all sorts of harmful behaviors, such as mms being sent to a premium number, or phone calls being placed to premium service numbers, data being mined, etc.

While many may argue this simple download system is desired, I believe it is way to dangerous. I propose adding a confirmation prompt to all downloads. A setting can be added to override this prompt behavior for those who like to live dangerously.

To begin, I used grep to find all instances of the term "download" in the source code and pasted the results here (note- I'm working with a CM kang): Grep--download - Pastebin.com. There are other terms that should be searched for as well, this is just a begining point.

Step 1 - determine which files need to be addressed

Step 2 - determine which point in the process it would be best to insert a prompt

Step 3 - determine the best methodology to provide additional security without compromising functionality

Step 4 - test, retest, test some more

Step 5 - submit for public scrutiny

Step 6 - make changes and test again

Step 7 - push to the AOSP source tree

If you would be interested in helping with this project, please indicate so in this thread, I will provide more details as to a project location etc as this progresses.

Thanks for any help offered! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamantes:
Hello.

I wanted to flash the new KL7 and I did the normal procedure with CWM. I had a KL3 stock (no custom kernel) and a KJ4 before.

After the procedure the Note started to boot continuously in loop. After that I tried to flash again with Odin in download mode but the phone is goin' on again in loop after reboot.

I tried then this procedure as in http://bit.ly/sKDXde but nothing again. Always in loop. I am not a developer and I am starting to worry a lot.

Is there anybody here able to help me?

Thanks to all.

Did you try to do a factory reset in the recovery (VolUp+Home+Power) ?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamantes:
well man. I tried and it did not work. Now after your msg I tried again and at the third attempt it worked again...I don't know what to say...never had these problems with windows mobile 6 (even if it sucks now compared to the new OS) and I flashed a LOT!

Thanks anyway.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yeahmon:
I followed the instructions according to mdalacu

Working great, and all i had to do was to change only 2 lines in buid.prop using ES File explorer with 2 options activated: Root Explorer and Mount File System.

1. Be sure that you have root

2. Install ES File explorer and Options and check this: Root Explorer and Mount File System

3. Navigate to /system. Long press on buid.prop , open as text.

4. Edit the file by modifying this lines:

ro.product.model=GT-N7000

ro.product.brand=samsung

into

ro.product.manufacturer=LGE

ro.product.model=VS910 4G

5. reboot

6. install from market box (box.net)

7. Create the account. A confirmation message will appear that you have 50 GB capacity.

8. Again from EFS File Explorer navigate to /system. Check that you have a file named build.prop.bak and if so, delete buid.prop. Rename build.prop.bak into build.prop. Now you can disable from options : "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"

9. Reboot

10. Enjoy your amizing phone

Note: I had done this on KL7 with stock kernel.

Was able to create a bunch of accounts, then deleted the build.prop file and renamed the build.prop.bak back to build.prop, rebooted the phone, and I get to the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 screen, then it goes black. I cannot boot up the device now.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bnapalm:
I don't think you are supposed to change "brand" to "manufacturer". For me, there was already a "ro.product.manufacturer" value (edit: of course, I also changed the "model" value) and I just changed that.

However, I don't see how this could have caused your problem. Are you sure you renamed the backup file "build.prop" correctly? Maybe accidentally left a symbol there, or deleted one too many?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jayshah:
Sounds like OP deleted the build.prop and perhaps the rename failed and didn't notice, so now they have no build.prop file whatsoever.

--

Are you able to access the device using a cable via adb (is USB debugging enabled on your phone)?

I know nothing about rooting the Note just yet, though if it's the same setup as G1/Nexus/Desire (I guess it would be) you should be able to get into recovery then use adb at a command line to push a new build.prop file to /system which should allow your device to boot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yeahmon:
It worked, and I was able to reboot back into the Note with these settings.

I think you're right about losing the build.prop file. Fortunately, I backed it up. I am trying to access the device now. I have no GUI on the Note. I am hoping it is just a blank screen and the device is still functioning in the background. I'll be back momentarily with an answer to accessing it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yeahmon:
ok...I can access the Note's file system. However, when I try to copy the backup build.prop file into the system directory via Android Commander, it says I need root access to do this permission.

The Note IS rooted. I don't get it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yeahmon:
This appears to be a problem with Android Commander. There are threads about this same problem, but rather than the software creator place a link to his FAQ that he ridicules everyone for not reading, he lambasts them instead. Thats a real good way to get a donation.

Anybody got any other suggestions for a root file explorer, preferably for Mac, but PC will work too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amincom:
be careful, backup buid.prop and restore it after creating Box account.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jayshah:
Please read the OP before posting.

The fact that you are using Android Commander implies you have adb access, this is good.

Here's what I would do to fix your problem, it definitely isn't the only way, but it will work.

#1: Get ADB installed on your PC/Mac/Linux

#2: Open a command line and run

adb devices

as a test, you should get output that one device is connected via cable, if you don't abort here, nothing else will work

#3: run

adb remount

This will make your /system writeable

#3: I'll put this as a windows instruction because I don't know the Mac filesystem, but it's almost identical

adb push C:\build.prop /system/

This will push C:\build.prop (please put your backup copy here) into /system/ of your Note. If you're on a mac, you will need to find another place to put it, e.g. if it's /users/bob/build.prop the command just becomes

adb push /users/bob/build.prop /system/

I hope this helps

Edit: Paste a copy of output here if it doesn't work so I can help debug
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yeahmon:
I was onto this earlier but a Command line gets me this:

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jayshah:
You'll need to download/install adb first.

I should have stuck with Dropbox.:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jayshah:
You're really going to have to paste the error messages here for any of us to help you further

Alternatively, can't you just reflash your current ROM on top?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
I'm not that familiar with Android but if this was Linux and you had shell access you just use the su command to elevate your session to root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
Mmmm, I've read it again, it has not changed. The method in post #1 requires root access and manually editing the build.prop of the phone to make it look like a different device.

That app does the same, you only have to provide it your box account login and a few seconds later the space will be increased from 5 to 50GB.

I did not even install the box app on the phone, just created an account on the box.com website and looked at my account properties.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jayshah:
Clearly, you didn't read it thoroughly.
