[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
I've used the image you kindly provided CRE. It is stuck on the "Please Do NOT Turn Off Your Device. Installing New Software..."

There is a picture of a Nook in the center and a green check mark in the top right corner. How long should this take (I'm assuming it reboots itself after finishing)?

Edit:

I found your post from the previous thread:

"When I was ready to go it took several times of pressing the power button (I probably pressed every combination possible out of desperation) before it came to life. It booted up and came to the "DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE" (or similar text) screen and a red X was in the upper right corner. Where I'm used to seeing this message go away and the Nook prompting me to eject my card before turning the device off all that happened was it remained on the warning screen but the red X was replaced with a green check mark after a couple minutes. Being paranoid, I probably left it on that screen for 30+ minutes before I finally forced it off, took out the card, booted into CWM, restored my backup image and now I'm all set! (My serial number was uneffected despite all my clumsy efforts to kill this NT). I had 1.4.0 installed and this image was made using files from the 1.4.0 acclaim_update.zip."

Thanks to you, meghd00t, and all others involved!

Yes, it does seem to be a problem, as it does not execute the scripts from the boot card.

Hey, I have an 8gb NT sitting on my desk which is bricked. I'll check this out tonight. If it works, then for sure I'll request that my Ubuntu Recovery be removed and yours take its place in the stickies. I just ask that you consider making one for the stock partition tables.. that way it can be official stock and not just an unbrick.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
Thank you for the feedback.

I have remade the images as per your instructions. Now you will get exactly what B&N gives you Only changes are in using the vfat portion of the sdcard to hold the factory.zip.

If you have some hosting then perhaps the original image with the ext3 partition for the factory.zip as per the details here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23946133&postcount=21 would also work. (now image attached here as bn_142_factory_recovery.zip )

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seeker14491:
I was rooted on the stock N7000XXLA3 rom, and decided I was going to upgrade to the more recent N7000XXLC1. I did a nandroid backup with CWM Recovery, incase something went wrong. I installed the new ROM via Mobile ODIN Pro; I kept the "Enable EverRoot" option checked, but I unchecked the other three ("Inject Superuser", "Inject Mobile ODIN", "Inject CWM Manager") because I already had them and I thought I wasn't going to lose them because I wasn't going to wipe. So the installation completed, and I'm now on the new ROM, but I don't have root or the Superuser app, the Mobile ODIN app, or the CWM Manager app. So now I want to restore my nandroid, but I can't seem to reboot into CWM Recovery. When I hold Volume+ and Power, the "Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000" screen comes up, then turns off for about four seconds, then turns on again, and the phone just boots up.

Can someone explain why this is happening, and more importantly, what do I do? I hope I don't have to go through the entire process of rerooting my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
You have lost your root.. U got to reroot again. Go back to rootable rom and root your phone. Later copy the rom to your phone with firmware/xxxxxx.Md5 to the root directory and flash it thru CWM with keep cf root option selected. That's it you will be good with rooting and new rom.

[Motorola Droid X2] spyda256:
Hey all,

I've been a lurker for a while, been looking for a way to encourage the now Google-owned Motorola Mobility to unlock their bootloaders much like HTC has wisely done, but it's becoming more and more obvious to me that they don't care about the "minority" of us that actually feels as though we are entitled to full admin rights on our phones that we either paid a ton of cash for, or signed a lengthy contract to obtain. Verizon is the one blocking it? HTC found a way, and so can Motorola Mobility...that is cop-out.

My proposal is that there be an effort to unlocked the bootloader, I am not some expert programmer, and I am open to whatever will help the cause. I know there was a bounty on it, but to me this isn't about money, I'll donate time, money, information ripped from my phone if it, in some way, contributes to unlocked that bootloader. Even if you need my unused CPU cycles to calculate things, I don't care, just tell me what I can to do help, because I am sick of not being able to use my phone to it's fully potential.

Maybe I am being naive, but I believe if we all worked together we could accomplish this goal. If you agree, please, let's organize and figure this out!

[Motorola Droid X2] spyda256:
Re: Google changing Moto policy

I don't know so much about Google changing Motorola's stance on the locked bootloader, we've tried petitioning the company themselves, but have we tried petitioning Google? Or maybe it's too soon, maybe they are working on it right now? Hard to tell, and I don't want to put pressure on Google too soon especially if they are trying diligently right now to do the right thing.

But the above poster is right, cracking it ourselves is definitely worth a try. I have contacts (unfortunately know inside Motorola), I know people with lots of knowledge on encryption, I'll be honest one of my friends does have a knack for the impossible, but this would be too much for one lone person. I also have a few computers in the house, to donate computing power. None above 5 GB of RAM unfortunately, but my friend with all of that know-how does also have a synchronous 20/mbit up/down connection to the net, if that helps, and I have another friend that is the linux admin at a an unnamed private university in Durham that might could lend a hand in some way.

We have the resources, we just need to pool them.

Someone with the realistic technical know-how, just tell us where to begin, and the shortest path to getting to our goal and we'll do all we can to contribute!

Thanks for understanding and not just writing this off as a pipe-dream...because I know if we work together we can accomplish almost anything.

SHA-1 brute force can be cracked for around $2 of Amazon cloud computing service. :)

http://www.geek.com/articles/news/r...for-2-10-with-amazons-cloud-service-20101122/

Isn't boot loader use SHA-1 encryption?

(of course, the key may be much longer, but it may not be impossible for cheap. I say try to pool together like $100 and try Amazon cloud computing a try?)
[Motorola Droid X2] spyda256:
Re: Amazon

hpark21:

I like the way you're thinking, does anyone else think this might be a good call? I know there was a bounty of around ~$800 somewhere, so I doubt if all of us who rightfully were promised and unlocked bootloader wouldn't mind pooling a bit of money for the computing power, hell I myself would give $50 to the effort if we knew it was a viable solution.

Other thoughts?

Also, ztotherad, if you could send me those PMs maybe we can sift through those and see if there are some other avenues, nothing is off the table at this point.

thanks again for coming together on this, that is the true meaning of community.

[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
Uh, I think it's already been established that brute forcing it is impossible.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
In one of the many threads concerning bootloader unlocks, I believe the chances of us finding it were determined to be 1mill:1. It would take us over a decade to manually come up with the key. I don't want to kill confidence, but I'd like to keep things relatively rational.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
it's been established that brute forcing is nearly impossible, not completely impossible

it is something that would take an insane amount of resources to accomplish , and/or time ,

it would really come down to "how lucky are we?" really, as in::: how lucky are we that we stumble across or know a genius that can crack it, stumble across needed files, etc...

good luck to all who try, I wish I could do anything to get us there, but I don't know the first thing when it comes to this stuff, don't give up the dream!
[Motorola Droid X2] hpark21:
Basically, what it comes down to is:

Find out what their hash key is. (encrypted password)

Then, try to go through all valid characters and see whether the input matches the output hash.

If one is lucky and they used short enough password, then it will be quick to find.

If unlucky and they used really long password, then the answer is that we won't be able to find it in REASONABLE time. (I would say 1-2 months to be reasonable - at $2/hr, it would cost $48/ day).

Only issue is when do we stop?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
There was some kind of crazy algorithm applied to each character to generate the correct item for each number of the key, correct? We would have to come up with that too?
[Motorola Droid X2] _base2:
THANK YOU! Finally ... a revived movement. I pledged $100 on another thread and I'm good for putting it toward an unlocked bootloader again!

To learn from one of the most influential groups of our generation ... anonymous utilizes botnets to pool computing resources ... if we get a tool that could function similarly, could we not pool 1000s of computers together to crack it faster? It would make what is not feasible for a small set of computers to do... feasible. If all most users have to do is download a tool that gives us access to processing power and bandwidth ... users will download the hell out of it.

Count me in.

Hope

I understand doubters, and odds are likely against us, but that's ok, no one person can do it, and maybe not just one method, but somehow we WILL get to our goal. Whether Motorola capitulates or we find a method to crack it, we will not have this awesome hardware go to waste.

I am not generally a "black hat" kind of person, but in this case we are in the right so far as I am concerned (please don't quote DMCA BS to me, lol) because they made a promise to their customers, and it will be kept, whether they like it or not.

So, I am with the above poster that mention he didn't know quite where to start, or where we have already made progress, but if someone can help us out, explain the process, we figure out how to move forward. (Please forgive the run-on sentence).

I've minimal experience programming, only VB.net, C++, and a bit of Java from college, and I do tier 2 desktop support for a bank these days, but on my off time I'd love to spend it on something worthwhile, all of you deserve this, and we'll make it happen.

Maybe it's the troubleshooter in me that sees the problem and says "oh no, there's a way, we just need to find it". I have a colleague, the one I spoke of before, he has a knack for doing incredible things, so once we have a breakdown of what we need to do, perhaps he can be of help.

So my friends, where do we go from here?

[General Questions and Answers] magus57:
Thinking about getting a cheap secondary phone in case my G2 craps out, and considering the Exhibit 4G...which seems to be superior to the II in about every way, while also a bit cheaper on average.

The original Exhibit 4G has an AMOLED screen (vs plain TFT on the II), slightly smaller screen (meaning slightly higher pixel density), and faster 4G speeds. They're about the same in power (II's CPU is slightly better, while the original's GPU is slightly better). The II is a bit lighter, but also feels a bit cheaper (I've handled both), especially lacking the rubberized back. The cameras are basically identical in quality, the original being a bit better if anything.

So...is there much better about the Exhibit II 4G than the original?

EDIT: If anything, thinking about it, I prefer the sliding port cover on the II over the port cover on the original, but that's hardly a dealbreaker.

Is there an international rom for the Atrix 2 yet, ive flashed a few roms but they are all still loaded with AT&T stuff.

has ANYONE got a link to motorolas stock firmwares?

id quite like to flash back to my stock rom (telecome New Zealand)

if anyone can help me ill bow down
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
I don't think there's an FXZ for New Zealand yet.

This is why it's recommended to do a cwm backup before flashing new roms.

Daywalker04 might be the guy to go to to get fastboot files tracked down, though I think he needs some of the details about the system to find the fastboot files for us...

Hopefully there's another kiwi around here that can back up the system for you to do a restore.

Note that most of the AT&T stuff can be removed...

I'm kind of interested in the build numbers for Telecom NZ's Atrix 2 firmware.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Vivasanti:
Thanks, its not actually my phone, before the guy did a backup he used titanium backup to remove some stuff he didnt want, in his haste he deleted something that was related to contacts and he couldnt add contacts anymore, at that stage it was to late to make a CWM backup.

He flashed someone elses CWM backup but it went into a bootloop and wouldnt start at all, so he flashed a custom rom from here but it was AT&T and he couldnt get any service.

hes currently on rebel rom but desperately wants it back to stock (hes a 52 year old man) he was even gona go as far as paying a mobile repair site to fix it back to stock.
