Hi guys!

Just want to know how many of us have a locked bootloader.

For the ones who do, good luck :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeremy3572:
My bootloader is unlocked but unfortunately I am stuck here because my phone is on the OTA (wierd I know) and I can't really do anything with the unlocked bootloader. So, here I sit with an unlocked phone and no 4G and nothing I can do except TRY to relock it and possibly brick it......... :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] edlee:
Does the official Motorola bootlock removal tool work on the photon, and does it now allow 4G on custom roms? http://m.lifehacker.com/5935837/mot...-bootloader-unlocking-tool-for-android-phones
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
the official motorola site says that only the Photon Q will be supported at first, then more devices to follow. No one knows if this will be retro-active towards existing devices. I would assume that if this does get implimented on our Photon 4g, then wimax will not be borked like it is now.

[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
I unlock-relock constantly. Just this morning I was locked, then I unlocked to try something, then relocked 2 hours later. Once you unlock, if you go back to locked, it's easier to unlock again than it was to start with because you don't have to do the fastboot commands with the unlock code. Just run the derpunlock.sbf again and push your recovery of choice and you're done.

Sprint and Motorola are pushing Photon 4G out of USA and selling it to Countries like India through ebay just because they are introducing LTE! in US.

I do not understand why they want to lock those phones (selling for about US$600 in India)?

MOTO and Sprint should think about it. If you dont want it anymore and don't support it outside US why locking it and making the life of poor souls miserable?

They should release a 2.3.5 sbf to help those people outside US stuck with Failed to boot 2 / Electrify 2.3.5.

[Asus Transformer TF700] GCq1w2e3:
Anyone else having issues with Google maps trying to find your current location? I keep getting the "your current location is temporarily unavailable" message. I've turned both gps and wifi location on.

At least this last update fixed the fc issue where maps would close out withing 5 seconds of opening.

Edit:

Ok, so after two factory resets I decided to tether my infinity to my rooted droids wifi and drive around while running gps test on both. Phone picked the satellites up faster at first but after the first 1/4 mile or so the infinity was up to par. I drove around like this for 4-5 miles in a big loop testing it by going through a town and a hilly heavily wooded area.

This brings me to the next part of the puzzle. Back at home, not so convinced after my drive around, I decided to turn off the gps on my infinity, turn it back on and check again on gmaps. No love once again, even if I walk around my whole house, go upstairs or outside. However, I found that if I turn the gps test on first after turning the gps on the infinity, maps will find my location right away; No such luck with my weather widgets location finding function. I'm beginning to think this is a software problem? idk what it could be... anyone have any ideas?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rockmonkey1973:
right

i am going to have send my a100 back. the touchscreen issue is driving me nuts and i cant keep it in its crrent state. i am shipping it back to the retailer for a full refund rather than pay to ship it back to acer. at the end of the day i cant be doing with the hassle. so i need to know how i go about unrooting it and locking the boot loader back up and basically restoring it to stock.

i will have a read of the forums but with work being all rather busy and a deadline for return i am a little pushed for time so if anyone out there knows and would be kind enough to link me to a thread or simply tell me that would be appreciated.

cheers

You could flash stock boot loader and flash an official ota

sent from your future.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
If hes just rooted just run the ota it'll do boot loader too. He didn't mention a custom rom or recovery, but if he does then doing it in that order will lock it up. Stock recovery then stock rom then bootloader last. Basically stock recovery > ota then you're fine.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rockmonkey1973:
hey guys thanks for the replies.

ok sorry i should have said i have unlocked the boot loader rooted it and instaled twrp recovery. i never got round to putting a rom on it (i have only had it about 6 or 7 days), i removed root by accident when i wiped it but obviously the unlocked bootloader and recovery remained. so with this in mind then exactly what would i do?

flash stock rom>flash stock bootloader?

would that also remove recovery?

edit sorry i didnt remove root when i wiped it i merely lost the superuser app so i am actually still rooted.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Root occurs in system, which isn't affected by wipes, so yeah SU is still there, just the app to control it is gone, which you discovered already.

As you have twrp, unlocked a200 bootloader but stock rom, the process is pretty simple.

Get the ics ota, name it update.zip place it on the root of the external sd card, no folders.

Power on holding volume - (closes to lock switch) and press power for 3 seconds, once the text starts up in the upper left corner, let everything go.

Should install stock rom, which will do the following:

1 wipe cache

2 flash new rom system

3 "flash" a100 bootloader

4 reboot into android

5 flash over twrp and place stock recovery in place

This will all occur on it's own once you get it loading up update.zip

5 only happens if it boots and is completely stock with /system/etc/install-recovery.sh intact.

3 can happen as long as it uses the update.zip

2 can fail, if it does but proceeds to flash bootloader twrp will be locked out, however a stock rooted rom as you have will still boot, and we can cover replacing the recovery with stock at that point if needed.

1 always happens, regardless of any other steps being met or finished.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rockmonkey1973:
mate thanks for helping here. i had to fix my phone which died after a bad flash of a back up in cwm... long story wont go into it... but it did eat up a good one or two days. so i havent gotten round to sorting anything out here with the tablet.

now i am going to try to flash the build prop and install one or two roms. flex reapers and cm10 all look good and i am hoping that that combination with maybe with over clocked kernal will be enough to fix the screen problem.

now i know it is unlikely if it is a hardware fault but i need to try because i would like to keep this tablet and the place i got it from havent got any more. it was pretty inexpensive at 127 pounds and i will be unlikely to find any other store that has stock at that price so if it goes back it goes back for good. hence me wanting to try to keep it.

so i am gonna flash the roms and the build prop now. if it doesnt fix it then i will be back for a little help in reverting it back to stock. by the way where can i find the ota ics release?

i will have a look on the forum i am sure it has to be here somewhere but just in case!!!

edit: got them edit no i havent i cant download them? the site is offline... anywhere else they can be gotten from? maybe acers website? will check now. just realised i have the stock rom installed! will make a back up now.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1307046

so you reckon it could be as simple as simply flashing the official rom to take the tablet all the way back to stock including the locking of the bootloader and removing the recovery? that would be nice and simple and easy which will be a real welcome change from the norm. fingers crossed that is all that is needed.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
To go stock that is all that's needed. In vaches thread there is one decrypted on a drop box, that's our only one unless vache brings his stuff back online.

Well there is the service ROM which will be stock, but not what is supposed to be there. At first glance its stock though. Wouldn't suggest it for a return.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rockmonkey1973:
ok this post was confusing. i am running stock ics at the moment. the bootlaoder is unlocked i have root and the recovery is twrp.

so i have downloaded the update found in the drop box folder here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1307046

it was already called update and it has a zip extension. so it is update.zip.

i have put it in both mnt/external_sd/ and also /sdcard/ none of them work.

all i get when i hold the volume and power button is taken into twrp recovery.

i thought it flashed automatically? can i flash it through recovery? bit worried about doing that because if it removes recovery while it is flashing i will be screwed.

will wait here now until someone can confirm what i am doing wrong because i cant afford to brick it.

i can be a bit to smart for my own good at times.

could the problem be that i am already running the latest ics official release? should i flash a custom rom? just throwing out some ideas here because i aint got a clue why it hasnt worked.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rockmonkey1973:
anyone know? i need to ship this back to the retaler tomorrow and i would prefer not to do it with an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.

things is i am stumped because i thought i had done all that should be needed to flash the update and the only thing i can think of is because the firmware is up to date (possibly even newer than the update.zip) it wont update.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
In that case flash the stock recovery and run the bootloader for a100 that came in the unlock boot loader zip. Run the a100 script instead of the a200 script, that will lock it. Do this after stock recovery flashing.

Or, put back install-recovery.sh and reboot, that will replace the stock recovery then run the a100 boot loader script. You'll still be rooted but try update.zip again after stock recovery and boot loader are done.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rockmonkey1973:
mate you have been incredibly helpful. i mean seriously.

i will do as you suggest however i have a question how am i supposed to flash these files? do i do it through recovery? please dont say adb because i have never used that program dont know why i just tended to stay away from it zips and nandroids always seemed so much easier.

i have edited this post due to being slightly confused and thought it best to save the gushing praise until after the tab is stock! sorry mate i hate being a pain and i am reading all i can on locking the bootloader but there doesnt seem to be any guide i can follow. most of the threads i have found are for bricks and my tab is certainly not beicked... and i want it to stay that way.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well....adb. You used it before with the scripts to unlock the boot loader.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23868002

Right above the download it mentions running the a100 script to revert to locked a100 boot loader.

Only do this with a stock ROM installed!

After that it'll be manually installing the recovery with fast boot or replace the stock /system/etc/install-recovry.sh

If it was just renamed, then name it back. If it was deleted it'll need replaced, it will revert to stock recovery on its own after booting with it in place.

Tapatalked from my Kindle Fire - Jellytime AOSP
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rockmonkey1973:
thanks again my friend. funny i never realised i was flashing stuff with adb when i was doing things like that!

i always thought adb was a command line interface like say ssh and that you needed to use some sort of software like putty.

anyways just to bring this to a close. i never got time to flash it back to stock. i simply left the official ota on and reset it. have already received the refund so all is good. shame i am unlucky with tablets. i had a faulty archos 80 g9 and then this. guess i will hold off for a while maybe until i feel my luck has changed for the better.

cheers again mate.

4. from data/dalvik cache move mnt@asec@app name file to mnt/asec/ app name folder

5. rename dalvik file to pkg.odex

in every asec app folder is cca 1.5mb of free space, so it only works for dalvik cache files under cca 1.5mb size.

I haven't seen anybody mention this yet here on the forum, so I went ahead and bought one and tried it myself.

This is a USB Y cable. Two USB type A plugs to increase charge capacity from 500mA to 1A.

I use Siyah kernel with STweaks to change USB charge capacity from 500mA to 900mA, I am currently looking for a way to increase this to the full 1A.

Only £3.99 from Amazon. Tested using CurrentWidget. Charging now at 900mA.

Can't you just buy a 1mA output charger. I have chargers that will fully charger my phone in about 1hr and 30min.

Exactly what I was looking for

this was exactly what I was looking for.. Thanks a lot.. I also has Siyah kernel, and many USB 2 ports available at work, and like to keep my AC charger at home.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] weisselstone:
This cable won't give you 1A. I guess the second USB plug has no data connection (how could it? :p) and without a registered USB device a USB port gives only a few mA of power.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shamez23:
It does work with 2.5" harddrives that need more power than one USB port can deliver. Why shouldn't it work with the s3?

But why would you need that when you are charging your phone at work? It's not like you're in a hurry. It can sit there all day.

And I wouldn't try to charge it with 1A or more just to save a little time. The charger you get with the s3 an the s3 itself are made for 900mA. That's why the kernel is limited to 900mA aswell. You might damage your phone by charging it with a higher current. Sure, there is a safety margin build in but going to the limit seldom is a good idea.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Grospolina:
This was correctly answered back in August (above). What does data have anything to do with current? It simply has 2 plugs so that it can draw more current (mA).

This.

No, you can't damage it that way. Electronic devices DRAW current, which means that they only take as much as they are able to. You can plug your phone into a 5A charger and it wouldn't damage it. Too much voltage WILL fry it though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shamez23:
Are you sure about that?

I've read more than once on tech sites that for example the 2A charger of the iPad will charge other devices that come with weaker chargers faster but that they advice against doing that on a regular basis.

I do use industrial Li-ion batteries (18650) on several other devices and the charger I use for those has a switch with witch I can decide if I want to charge them at 500mA or at 1000mA. Reading in forums that specialize on devices that use those batteries and that have users that seem to know quite a bit about batteries and do extensive testing with sophisticated equipment, the general opinion is, that using lower Amps will prolong the lifetime of your batteries and that too high currents can potentially damage them as of course will overcharging them.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/ultra_fast_chargers

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

I don't know much about battery technology so I might be wrong. I always had problems to wrap my head around anything that has to do with electricity and electronics in general and have to use analogies to understand and explain how things work in that area. Those analogies don't always apply completely.

The one I have in this case is the following:

I decide how much I can eat. I can eat at a normal pace until I'm full but I can also stuff myself and eat a lot more than I would normally do in a short period of time. I know that the later is a bad idea and won't do me much good but it is possible.

If you are correct with what you said, batteries could draw a higher current than what the original charger is delivering, up to their limit but that could still be too much and harm them.

I don't know. Now I'm confused.
