Calm down, NIMBAH - there are always people who fail to understand what a particular guide is all about (or not).

EDIT: @OP

Your other chance, which may be the better solution, is to SIM unlock through an EMMA/IMEI code. There are some sites on the net offering this kind of service.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy Thrashmetal:
Then, unlocking via EMMA/IMEI code my boootloader won't suffer any change, right?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
No, your boot loader won't suffer changes ... the one has not really anything to do with the other.

The only relevant thing is at boot loader unlock - there's a scenario (read the guide in the development section!) where the original SIM lock could return, but that entirely depends on how the phone got SIM unlocked in the first place.

Please tell us how do you get it.

I have an Xperia X8 and I finalised the year, so I can ask to my operator to unlock the phone. The problem is that I have modified the original system (Android 1.6) the actual system is Android 2.3 (MiniCM 7-2.2) and I supose the operator will rejected to unlock my phone.:confused:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mordregon:
Hi everyone

Not sure how, at which point and why, but I've screwed up installing new rom, and now while I can install whatever I want, latest CWM 5.5.04 installed, new roms while do start just fine, don't detect sim, battery shows at 0% full stop, etc...

It started with me wanting to update to latest Elite Rom 9.7 based on MIUI by Terramino. Tried 2 versions, multiple re-downloads, every time it would try to install from zip and just returned the install aborted, bad zip message.

At this point phone is wiped to factory reset, dalvik cache wiped, cache wiped, /system mounted and formatted, so ok, need something else...

Downloaded MIUI 2.1.20 (2.6.35 kernel like the one before reset), and that's when I noticed the problem, thought maybe didn't wipe something correctly, so again factory reset, wipe cache, format /system, retry - same issue, after that it's always the same result whether I use CM7, MIUI or whatever.

Following few threads loaded the 5.5.04 CWM in the end, and to my surprise to add to the problem - now when I mount SD card from within CWM to system - it shows with a cd icon in the system and is now read-only, so can't even add anything to it seemingly.

Booting to pink screen still gives debugging access to internal SD card of the phone via usb.

Any ideas from knowledgeable users as to how to fix this problem? Help greatly appreciated! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maneet21:
That elite rom is only for .32 kernel

you flashed it over official gb that's the prob
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mordregon:
Thanks, figured that this was the case, just not sure why after trying to load back newer roms meant for .35 it's still messing it up.

Will do full reload of a kernel and get a proper rom to follow suit, hopefully it resolves the issue.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
There's not much anyone can do if the Streak shows no signs of life. It is possible to resurrect a dead Streak by using its Jtag pad on the motherboard (search the forums for it) but even if you do the Streak will very likely never work for calls again.

And, while I'm trying not to sound like a broken record here, this is why we encourage people to read and to do research before attempting to root. For had you read the Streak wiki or even the thread "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it" you would have learned how to properly root the Streak. The program you used probably issued the command "fastboot -w" or "fastboot -erase", either of which will brick the Streak. That and Clockworkmod doesn't work well on Streaks, thus the existence of StreakMod Recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
Questions answered in the below quotes!

================================================================================================================

So I got Avast with it's Anti-Theft protection baked into the ROM, but of course if my phone gets lost, it doesn't matter if i remote lock it or wipe it. If the thief is smart enough, they can just reboot into CWM and wipe data/dalvik/cache and flash a new rom onto it and resell the phone as "new". (And trust me, they are in 9/10 cases that smart)

So I was wondering, is there any way to put a password onto CWM? Like a 4 digit pin or similar. I realize it would be hard to do given the limited controls (vol up, down, power), but does the Touch Recovery enable this?

That way it would be a good safeguard for losing your phone as no one without access can wipe the ROM and render your theft-protection useless within seconds..

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Isn't that what you want them to do? Even if they're not sophisticated enough to wipe it you're just going to wipe it yourself considering the chances of getting it back are slim to none.

Either way, the device gets wiped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adzrules:
Indeed, I have wondered this a few times too. I mean, hopefully if you lose your phone then you'll be able to find it before any of this stuff happens...but not necessarily. If the thief turns your phone off/battery pulls then they effectively win! I suppose the benefit of a non-removable battery is that, if you have a lockscreen password, then the thief should find it hard to even power off your device!

I think a lock on CWM should be implemented...but who wants to forget their password to CWM and never be able access their device again? Not me! :D

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

That's true...didn't think of that. Still though...I'd prefer my phone back! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Unlocking the bootloader would wipe the phone, and afaik there is no way to prevent that. Also, it isn't going to stop your phone from getting stolen...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
Well sure, if my phone gets stolen it gets stolen. I don't have it anymore. But Avasts Anti-Theft enables you to send SMS commands to lock/wipe the phone, turn on/off GPS, disable any user interaction except from SMS messages from TRUSTED numbers etc. So even if I don't have the phone, BUT I have a password protected CWM, the phone will be useless as they cant flash a new ROM or have access to the OS/internal SD (thanks to disabling USB when the phone is flagged as lost) so it's just a paperweight with no resell value no matter what sim or battery they insert. It will be locked.

As long as they have the phone turned off, sure, I can't access it's location and whatnot. But at the same time they cant do anything with the phone either. I also doubt they'd disassemble the phone and take the time to somehow hardware flash the ROM chip to force a flash.

There have been cases in my country where people have gotten back their ipads/iphones/phones that have their respective "find my phone" if it gets lost/stolen etc.. Manufacturers don't implement functions like this for nothing, and law enforcement is usually helpful in cases like this if the GPS location and IMEI number are provided, as well as proof of ownership (which is displayed on the lock-screen of Anti-Theft as well as the IMEI).

It just seems contradicting having an Anti-Theft option when CWM is a few button presses away from wiping the phone and everything along with it, totally crippling anti-theft software.

Locking the bootloader every time I flash a rom (just in case i go out that one night and get robbed etc.) is a pain, and even if they unlock the bootloader everything is wiped anyway (including Anti-Theft).

The only reasonable solution is to have a password protected CWM. But of course, it's a HUGE risk if you forget your password to it.

and afaik by wiping through SMS, it only wipes the personal data (pictures, sms, anything personal) but keeps the rom intact as not to break the Anti-Theft. It would be really stupid if you remote wiped and the entire rom was wiped? Given that the thief isn't as smart as the regular XDA-crawler they'd need to flash a custom rom for it to even boot after that. But that's another story. Point being that remote wipe doesn't wipe the rom. Only all settings/personal data so a thief cant access private info.

imo if my phone got lost/stolen i'd try to (before it would happen) safeguard myself as much as I could to maybe at least have a small chance of getting it back. You never know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroBarrier:
Completely unnecessary, just call your carrier and report your phone lost/stolen and have them blacklist the IMEI number, done.

In any case, I can't even see a reason for this sort of childishness. If you lost your phone, bad on you, take better care of your things; if you had your phone stolen because you weren't paying attention to where it was, again, bad on you, take better care of your things; if you were threatened and mugged at knife/gunpoint, give the damn phone up and be happy, your life is worth more than any stupid phone, **** happens and then you die.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
There's no reason to be rude and condescending. A phone can be lost/stolen no matter how careful you are. Of course your life is incomparable in value to a stupid phone, but that's not what this thread is about so no reason to go OT.

Back OT though, I still believe a password system should be looked in to. What if this wasn't about your phone being stolen, what if someone is just screwing with your phone? Why DO we have passwords? We have them to keep intruders at bay for things we don't want them to have access to. I wouldn't want anyone to be able to access CWM and wipe my phone.

It just seems strange how such a powerful tool can render any lockscreen/pin unlock/pattern unlock useless by just wiping the phone and reflashing a rom (keeping personal data such as pictures etc.) and gaining access to them anyway. It renders all these passwords/lockscreens etc. useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroBarrier:
So does the stock recovery. Doesn't seem as if anyone is complaining to Samsung or Google asking them for password protection on stock recoveries.

In the end, it's a portable communications device designed to be in your possession at all times, and if it is in your possession at all times, then there isn't any need to worry about a 3rd party wiping your phone randomly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
I am also hoping for password on the recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
What it comes down to is, anyone smart enough to know how the GNex works can beat these sorts of things. You'll catch the dumb criminals but few others. Even if you could theoretically put a lock on CWM, the device can be wiped from the bootloader level and made to work. And chances are, if you have CWM loaded you already have an unlocked bootloader. Which means if you put a password on CWM, the thief could just reflash a clean CWM over top of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Exactly. The only criminal getting caught here is an extremely dumb one. If you're stealing phones you know to go in and uninstall Lookout or factory reset the device... then you wont be able to get the device back either way. Any criminal "smart" enough to use CWM to wipe the phone will use one of the many other ways to make it untraceable.

As someone else said, call the carrier and blacklist the SIM and IMEI.

And if you want your phone to be the most secure, use a PIN lockscreen, fully encrypt the device, and keep it stock with a locked bootloader. And above all... keep your phone in your sight/possession whenever in public. All basic stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dennis_:
The anti-theft stuff is not so much anti-theft of the phone as anti-theft of you personal information. Think of it like this, you lose your device, criminal takes your information and uses your stored bank account information to steal your money, your stored address and name to get a new driver's license, and new license to get new credit card to ruin your credit score, along with making $500 on selling your phone.

Or he steals your phone, you remote wipe and blacklist iemi, he makes $200 selling phone for parts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwcorvus:
They can wipe the phone in fastboot also...so this would stop nothing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evcz:
This.

You can wipe (or obtain all the data stored into io) a galaxy nexus directly from the bootloader... Even before loading the recovery...

If I was in you i would care more about stolen data/photos and so on... (ics support full system encryption but clockwork mod does not iirc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
sooooo?

So back to the original question Any1 no of a hack that password protects recovery? Its a great idea and for those that don't think so for whatever reason wouldn't have to use it .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Did you not read the thread? Its a waste of time to do this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
I guess it's a conundrum for us hacky types - unlocked bootloader lets us do all sorts of stuff, and gives us an escape hatch from unstable ROMs without losing our data. But it also lets anyone else get full access.

Now what would be nice is if the unlocked bootloader could be configured with a password. So it's effectively locked for everyone else unless they wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwcorvus:
Even if you have a locked bootloader, all they have to do is type Fastboot oem unlock, and your data is wiped. With the phone we have, there is NOTHING you can do to stop someone from wiping it. If we could put a password before that, this would be the only safeguard (like a bios lock on a computer).

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Right, there's the separate questions of data integrity vs. tracking software integrity.

Most Androids, with stock recovery, are capable of being wiped too without booting into the OS at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
Well thanks for the great insight then! I didn't know fully that you could, still, even with a hypothesized passworded CWM, gain access and flash a new recovery before even getting into recovery (i haven't stumbled upon a situation like this yet)

So really there is no way to fully PROTECT the device with a password per se, unless you, like someone said, keep it fully stock with the bootloader locked. That way the device will be wiped anyway. Or have some kind of a BIOS-lock.

The thread was made to merely speculate if a password for CWM was feasible, and if it was, if it would do any good. Since we have come to the conclusion that it is not (any good at least), the best thing to do is to simply encrypt the phone, put a lockscreen pin/pattern or something like it and take care of the phone (of course). If it gets stolen, it does. Call the carrier and flag the IMEI. I know that already, but it would be a nice consolidation to somehow have some hope of getting the device back.

Needless to say you probably never will. So be careful guys!

Thanks for the thread and the knowledgeable inputs, there were apparently a few more peeps wondering about the same thing as I so I hope it helped them :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
You guys overestimate the average criminal. I'm just estimating here but 30% of people don't even know how to work with android. 80% of this 30% have no idea what root or cwm means.

Most of them will look for a factory reset option in the settings menu. Avast Anti-theft can survive that if you choose the root method when you install it.
