[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
From what I understand, the bootloader program (hboot) is completely separate from the rest of the operating system and recovery programs. It's the first program that loads when the phone is started and orchestrates the rest of the boot process.

The bootloader need to be replaced in order to root the phone. But once this is done is it never needed to be touched ever again? When rooted, does this mean you can replace your bootloader at any time without affecting access to your installed recovery program?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shelnutt2:
With our heroc's the bootloader isn't needed to root and install a custom recovery. However people generally do it so you can flash via fastboot if ever needed.

Once you unlock (or install the eng-spl) hboot no it's never touched or needed to be touched again unless you RUU. You could replace the bootloader whenever you wanted and not effect anything else but there really isn't much of a point.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
Thanks for the info, Shelnutt.

I'm kind of in a peculiar "Nexus" that I'm trying to extricate myself from. I have S-ON presently. I would like to change it to S-OFF, but I can't seem to do it. I suspect it's the bootloader preventing me, which is hboot 1.7. So, I tried to replace the bootloader and the attempts fail. I've tried it through the adb shell, fastboot, terminal emulator on the phone, and via the recovery manager (TWRP). Attempting to replace the bootloader results in "signature verify fail". Through TWRP, it also said verification failed.

I also tried to retrieve the identifier token (HTC dev) so that I could unlock the phone that way, but "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" fails with a "Command error" (although I can execute "fastboot oem rebootRUU" with no problem).

I also tried to use Regaw's boot mod tool, which replaces the bootloader and turns S-OFF. But it aborts because my Hero is already rooted. So I went into my z4Root application and selected "un-root". It said "done", but the phone remains rooted. I even tried to "Re-root" but it wouldn't complete (thinking if I root it again, I could then try another un-root).

I'm thinking I should just flash back to stock, but... I don't have any fresh nandroid backups to use. TWRP doesn't do nandroid. It does its own thing, which becomes a problem because TWRP needs Android 2.2 or higher. So... does that mean I need to install ROM Manager again, do a nandroid backup, then run an RUU back to full stock again?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shelnutt2:
For the eng-spl when it says signature failed, you just need to disable signature checking. In CWM it's in the flash .zip menu. Not sure where it's at for TWRP. If you have the 1.47 hboot like you say thought you can't flash to 1.46 without being s-off first.

For regaw's hboot, he hard hard coded radios version into it. So in all likelyhood you're error is about the radio. It never checks for root inside the room, as it doesn't effect flashing a new hboot. My suggestion is to flash this radio and see if regaw's method works.

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9lyYjZr_O3gYy1xclMzbURyd0k
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
Thanks, you're right... in TWRP there's a checkbox to control that. There's also one to verify md5, but it requires a file (I guess it looks for [filename].md5). In any case, getting past that resulted in failure to load hboot 1.46 as you surmised.

The issue with Regaw doesn't seem to be the radio. It simply reports that there's nothing to do because the phone is already rooted. Apparently it will only run if the phone is not rooted. And to unroot, it appears the only way is by RUU. Z4Root is supposed to allow it, but when selected it doesn't do anything.

So, I finally came up with something that got me on the right path. :good: :cool:

I re-installed ROM Manager and flashed the latest ClockworkMod to Recovery. From there I could apply the hboot 1.46 ENG-SPL with no issues. I rebooted into the bootloader and saw................ HERO XC ENG S-OFF, HBOOT-1.46.2000. :highfive:
[General Questions and Answers] with33:
Well i have this friend who is currently employed by samsung and the other day he was back home and i went over there and he showed me on his compiter the design and specs of the galaxy s4.

Now i cannot say much but one thing caught my eye in the courner of the spevs iy said 5g enabked...

Now is 5g coming out next year? Or is that just an off projection?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] awesomedeals88:
What are the specs of the galaxy S4? Is it better than the Galaxy Note 2?
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
No offense but your friend is full of baloney

When the S3 was being worked on, a man wouldn't tell his his wife or his kids what the S3 would be like in fear of losing his job

In addition, samsung probably does all their designing of their flagships at HQ, which is korea. They also only have their top workers, and even then they made 3 galaxy S3s so that no worker would know if they were making the reall S3 or not.

Also, with many companies not even rolling out 4G LTE yet (which is pretty much 5G anyway), there is no way 5G is coming out anytime soon
[General Questions and Answers] with33:
It is already being produced which is why he has all the specs.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
No. First of all, you don't live in Korea where it would be designed.

Second, since it is being released next year, they want a CPU of that generation which is not yet available, so we can't know the specs.

Third, he wouldd probably have lost his job by now since you have just told the world about it.

Fourth, any work on Samsung's flagships would be in a secret room guarded by secret people in a secret file, NOT on his computer where it could easily be hacked.

Just face it, your friend is just BSing you or trying to impress you.
[General Questions and Answers] with33:
He does work in korea as i said he was home for the week.

And nope things get leaked alot of time on purpose toget hype.

And they do not know who my friend is he could be one of 300 people with this info.
[General Questions and Answers] with33:
Yes i cannot go into detaio bit bigger screen better graphics and 5g.
[General Questions and Answers] Mkey01:
at least i think so
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Why can you not accept the fact that it is not true?

All big Samsung employees LIVE in Korea. That IS their home.

And if you knew anything about Samsung, they do NOT try to leak things. I even told you, to protect the secret of the Galaxy S3, they made 3 DIFFERENT models, and the designers thought they were making the real version when really it was one of the other 2 models. The Galaxy S3 had NO leaks because of this secrecy.

300 people? More like 30 in TOTAL. With 10 working on each phone, 20 are working on a fake phone, and 10 working on the real one. Once again, they don't know which is real or not.

And I'm going to smack the claim of 5G off too, because they don't llist specs as "4G LTE" or "5G." They would say the bands, like 900/1700/2100 MHz (that was an example).

Still don't believe me? Here's an article about Samsung regarding their S3, and how they kept it a secret.

[General Questions and Answers] iKoolkid:
Bigger screen? Honestly, you are being bsed and you are too stupid to admit it. 5G is technically 4g lte as he said, and the idea of a bigger screen is bogus.
[General Questions and Answers] MultiLockOn:
I think this is hands down one of the stupidest threads I've ever seen. There isn't going to be a 5g, because 4g itself hardly exists on most carriers. And there's no way in hell it'll have a bigger screen than the note 2.

And you still have no logical argument as to why it would actually be the real S4.

[General Questions and Answers] with33:
As i said before he works for samsung and lives in korea he comes home probly 2 times a year.

Now move in trolls and flamebaiters if you do not wanna believe me thats fine answer my question then move along or do not post simple and plai...
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
If he lives in korea, how come he comes "home" twice a year?

And Samsung would NEVER release details of the S4. They kept the S3 such a secret, if you read my article a few posts back.

And you still haven't come up with a reason why my points are invalid. All you said was he works for Samsung... well I work for Motorola and they're releasing the Motorola Atrix Bionic Droid RAZR 5G LTE GSM unlocked. Just because he works for Samsung does not mean he will know about the S4, like I know about the ABDR5GLTE

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-design-features-secret-95077/

Read through my points and give me a logical reason why they are false.

All i said was it had better graphics and was a top noch phone.....

And i wont put my friend in harms way to feed your blood lust.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
No **** its going to be a top notch phone, that's what the galaxy s series IS

Also, "better graphics?" Nice try, but that's also a no **** statement.

In that case, I have a friend who works for samsung too. He showed me the galaxy S5. It has better graphics, a better processor, a better camera, a better version of android, a better gpu, and a bigger battery. Also, it will have the newest mobile data connection, be a top notch phone, have nfc, wifi, and the latest version of bluetooth. It will also have touchwiz 7.0

Samsung keeps things secret. Did you still not read that link I gave you?

Half of his posts are 'bump'. He just goes around annoying people, i.e. he's a troll. Even if he's an idiot, there's no point trying to convince one person when there are so many stupider, more technologically oblivious people out there.
[General Questions and Answers] Kitschki:
Lol what a troll post. Why would Samsung tell you "friend" the plans? There is no reason and just as it was said already, planning that much at this time already would be totally dumb. Your "friend" is probably laughing his ass off because he actually succeded to troll YOU, because he just told you ****. Oh and btw, can you speak a bit of korean to me? Because Im korean and Id understand it. Even if only your friend/no one is korean, your friend probably taught you some korean. So please translate this: 야 이 병신세꺄 거짓말 하지마 시발놈아. Besides the fact that no Samsung worker, especially if theyre THAT important that they are working on the development of the new mobile phone, would just carelessly carry around the information. It could easily be stolen or lost etc. You propably dont even know the difference between 4G and LTE but you dare to post stuff like this. Its unrespectful and i feel mad because of this, because by posting this, you indirectly said that Samsung is so dumb, that they leak **** just like that. Sometimes i wish there would be a sign saying IDIOT in the signature of everyone, who posted stuff like this. I hope that your maybe not even existing friend tells you the truth.

PS: As i dont want you to be embarrassed because youre trying to state the differences between LTE and 4G, there arent any.

And i said 5g theyvsaid lte was basicky 5g even though its not tbh its clear you read a few of the trolls responses to my thread and theb posted abunch of non sense.

Stay on topic or do not post plain and simple why is that so hard for some?
[General Questions and Answers] mg2195:
This thread needs to get closed...

Plain in simple even if your friend didn't lie to you...he has false information...the s4 won't be released until summer at the soonest...so they would not start production now...it would start a month or two before release that way they have the most up to date hardware

As was previously said but you continue to ignore...Samsung goes to extremes to keep things secret, having multiple different groups all working on different phones each thinking t was the real s3...chances are that's what's happening with the s4, so even if your friend is working on something the chances he's working on the real thing is slim. Even when they released he s3 to carriers for testing they put it in "dummy" casing so that no one could leak the real design

In short, your info/your friends info us wrong, this is turning into a flame war, your not reading the whole posts or your choosing to ignore their questions (which if you would answer would give you credibility), let's close it now

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] N1XRR:
I had a hard time finding any info about the car dock before I purchased one. So, here are a few things that may be of use to someone:

The included power adapter is rated at 750ma

The dock has 2x USB outputs, but at 750ma it's only just enough power to maintain GPS, Bluetooth, Backlight and a data connection (with semi-weak signal). Charging 2 phones at once isn't recommended.

The dock has an identifier so the phone knows that it's a vehicle dock (as opposed to my old Photon 4G)

When you first drop the phone into the dock, it asks you what kind of dock you are using. The Home dock does the same thing. It remembers each dock via a dock ID of some sort.

The dock fits the phone extremely well, best one I've had so far.

Better than the Droid 2 and Photon 4G. The Photon Q drops in with little effort and holds in place VERY well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] PythonFanTN:
It doesn't do that with me....but then I only have (and have only used) the car dock. Maybe it requires docking with both docks before it prompts you?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] N1XRR:
Possibly. It's been a few weeks since I first dropped the phone into the dock...

But, putting the phone into a new dock of the same type (at least the Home dock) prompts to request what type of dock is connected.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] benofilis:
Anyone have any tips on where to find one under $50? I'm really missing having a good dock, but getting impatient for the price to go down.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] PythonFanTN:
http://www.neobits.com/motorola_kpm5778q_vehicle_navigation_dock_for_p4013180.html?atc=gbs&gclid=CPmvoK3grLMCFRRbnAodbDEA9g

That's where I got mine. Not less than $50 but right at it counting shipping.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cmags:
Looking at picking up the Costco deal on the Pho Q with free car dock after MIR, and wanted to confirm - I'm guessing that you can't use the dock with a case on the phone, correct? Looks like it wouldn't slide in properly.

Anyone try the dock with one of those Skinz "cases" which are really more like full body screen protector films?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] PythonFanTN:
I can't say from personal experience that you can use it with a case (mainly because I don't use cases nor have some little voice in my head compelling me that I absolutely must have one)....but I do know the dock comes with a little insert that you take out/don't use in the (no pun intended) 'case' of those who use cases.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] N1XRR:
There is a plastic adapter that needs to be inserted in the dock for a "snug" fit. I suppose you could just leave the adapter off for a slightly looser fit and try it with the case on.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cmags:
Thanks for the info. I've got mine ordered, and having not seen your replies, ordered one of those "full body screen protectors" to protect the sides of the phone so it would fit in the dock. But, if there's a removable insert to allow more room for a case, I may get an Otterbox. I'll have to see how much extra play room it comes with before committing to a case that may or may not fit.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ericcire:
Does the dock make the phone go in to vehicle mode? Is there a way to disable this so you can still fully operate the phone?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zurvan2:
It does make it go into vehicle mode, but that doesn't change all that much. It just launches a custom launcher app with large horizontal icons and sets up bluetooth (if you want the app to do that) and audio-out to the dock. It also has a page of customizable launcher buttons, which is a big step up from other "Car Home" apps.

You can get back to the regular homescreen by just hitting the regular home button.

You could probably also use something like Tasker to customize what happens when you put it in the dock. (I use Tasker to explicitly launch the vehicle home app, because I want the audio out, *then* launch my audiobook app)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] LongF:
Has anyone tested mass storage access in the vehicle dock? Mine won´t work. The phone charges but the alpine headunit says no usb-device. With the same cable without the dock between the usb cable and the phone it works well.
