[LG Optimus 2x] Kamui_:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone I hope we will can in future. Today Canonical released the mobile ubuntuOS. A smartphoneOS for arm based mobiles using Android drivers...let's hope that they will support our phones.

The awesome thing is that UbuntuOS works as smartphone OS on a mobile, but if you connect the mobile to a monitor/TV you get the full fledged ubuntu experience.

Diztronic case is awesome. Had the nillkin for a week, and while perfect, it provided zero protection. So I got the new diztronic. Case provides protection everywhere. Covered power and volume buttons work as they should. Feel in hand is great too, doesn't feel like I'm going to drop it anymore. Fit and finish is superb.

Hi everyone!

I have a rooted Transformer tf300 and now I want to sell it. So therefore i want to unroot it so it is like brand new. But since I´m a noob I have no idea how to do this. Can someone friendly help me? And if possible maybe guide me step by step? (Or if this is explained in some other thread direct me).

Thank´s for the help !! :angel:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l33ch0r:
Wouldn't it be enough to flash a stock rom which is not pre-rooted?

Anyways you can't re-lock the bootloader so it'll never be "like brand new"

But neither I have an idea of how to do it ;)

Just wanted to let you know, what my thoughts are and see, if you knew, that bootloader can't be re-locked :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poolkjol:
But I was thinking I could do something like this: (Can´t post website....) Anyway I searched for "How To Unroot and Remove CWM Recovery on Asus Transformer". He unroots his transformer tf100 with two files.

Flash stock rom with twrp and it will remove root and replace twrp with stock recovery.

Select your stock rom based on your bootloader. JB rom for JB bootloader and ICS rom for ICS bootloader.

ROOT Toolkit Xperia 2013 v.1.1 by Creos Team

FOR WINDOWS ONLY

THIS WILL WORK ON BOTH LOCKED AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS

ok guys so i was directed to this post:

http://xdaforums.com/show...9&postcount=18

where the user rasgula has posted a rooting toolkit...

it was slightly difficult to use for some users so i have modified it to make it fully automated with least user interaction also as a bonus it will install busybox too...

for those who dont know this is the well known old "andorid emulator" hack/trick... its surprising that Sony left those permissions on /data partitions... Dan rosenberg has posted lots of research material regarding this kind of hack for other android devices...

anyways the rooting toolkit is in the downloads section below

[ requirements ]

1. stock ICS firmware 4.1.A.0.562 for your device

2. ADB drivers installed (if u are not sure, then install this)

3. the attached package

[ READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY! ]

This script will:

1. root ur device using "andorid emulator" trick

2. install Busybox (1.18.4)

3. install SU files ( GB & ICS specific)

4. do some checks for free space, tmp directory (will remove Google Maps if required)

Before u begin:

1. make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device

2. enable "USB DEBUGGING" - from (Menu\Settings\Developer Options\Development)

3. enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" - from (Menu\Settings\Security)

4. [OPTIONAL] increase screen timeout to 10 minutes

5. connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC

6. skip "PC Companion Software" prompt on device

[ WARNING ]

make sure that no other adb server is running in background (e.g.: Flashtool, PCC, SEUS) and disable any antivirus

[ how to install? ]

1. make sure that you are on stock GB & ICS firmware

2. download the file posted below and save it on c:\

3. extract ALL the files in the zip

4. now just double click on "runme.bat"

5. sit back read the on screen instructions

6. the device will reboot a couple of times

7. when the script finishes it will say "INSTALL SUCCESFULLY"

8. enjoy!

Hi..

can anyone tell me.. if i want to update my note to N7000XXLSZ JB 4.1.2 like OTA??

Cuz i want to wipe my data.. is that possible??

and i want a toorent file for the offical (N7000XXLSZ JB 4.1.2)

cuz i found the ThaiDais one.. but i want the official without any changes.. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
My torrent is a deodexed but unchanged version with PhilZ Kernel (technical nearly identical to eybee's deodexed.

For the official you should use the download from sammobile.com and install it with PC Odin. Maybe there are links to torrents for this in the General forum too - but I didn't make one. You have to search there for it.

Why not use one of the new Custom Roms for XXLSZ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.pc91:
mmmmmmm cuz i feel the official better, smooth and bugs-free than the custom

is that right..?

- what the difference between your rom & eybee's rom..?

& (deodexed) what that mean..?????!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
official roms are odexed and lot of mods cannot be applied to it. as ThaiDai said.. its almost identical
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
No, I will not explain every definition of a word. You are in a developer forum, so please read and search a little bit yourself.

If you do not want to do this (ok for me) then you should stay on an unrooted and odexed Rom from Samsung.

Especially when you "feel" that the official is better, smooth and bugs-free.

But then I might ask: Why do you visit a developer forum where Custom Roms are made? ;)

Many members here use CR, so I think it is a hint that you can try yourself and maybe stability and features of these handmade Roms will convince you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.pc91:
thx man....

i flashed your rom.. & it's very smooth & stable.. like (official)

thx ThaiDai.. :)

and sorry for my opinion.. :) i didn't mean what you understand.. ;)

[HTC Droid DNA] KyJelly69:
Is it not possible to dump that block before s-off for comparison?
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
yes. the dump i have is from an s-on phone. as i said above, the next step is to try and rewrite mmcblk0p3 line 0x8400 and flash it back,now that we have s off. that block is write protected while s on,so there was nothing we could do with this until now.

the before and after s off dumps wont show much different,with exception that 0x8400 is now 00 instead of 03. HTCU or HTCL do not change.

now if the 01 at 0x8408 disapears after s-off,that would be interesting...

maybe someone can shed some light on that character? as i mentioned,ive not seen it in any other phone ive checked.
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
scotty does it lock the device or just show locked? sorry if this is a noob bootloader question.
[HTC Droid DNA] yutsoku:

I don't know if I want to reflash it though haha... I changed it..

let me go through my breathing techniques

...You just wanted to change the whole row to 00 right?
[HTC Droid DNA] KyJelly69:
I don't think you change the 01 to 00 just the stuff before.

Or you could use the zip provided?

let us know...
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
what exactly is this useful for? setting the hboot back to locked? or s-on?

[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
Leaving the 01 could have adverse affects(brick) as well. What we need is a dump from a locked phone to be more sure. I am 95 percent sure a locked phone will have all zeros. But, I cannot guarantee that.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Scotty sending you a PM
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
Does anyone have a dump from a locked phone? And do you want us to leave to 01 after HTCU as is or set the entire line to 00?

I'm willing to test this and I've already dumped my mmcblk0p3, I'll flash as soon as I hear back.

EDIT: nevermind about the dump from locked phone part, I just saw the new posts to the thread. But to confirm, do we change or leave the 01?

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

We could dump mmcblk0p3 with temp root, right? I could possibly do this on a locked DNA tonight if no one else already has.
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
That would be awesome. Everyone hold off from flashing until we have dump from a locked phone
[HTC Droid DNA] kern3l:
My mmcblk0p3 size is 133807104 bytes as opposed to 33143808 bytes in OP, anyone else seeing this ?

[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
To get a hold of the locked phone will take a few hours, if everyone is ok with waiting for a little while
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
That dump is from my rezound,don't pay any attention to those particular numbers.
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
Got the phone and attempting temp root now. I'll update when I make progress.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

So far I've been unable to get temp root, but I'm going to keep fiddling with it for a while. Did they patch the adb backup exploit in the OTA? I'm going to try again with another phone that I believe doesn't have the OTA yet. In the meantime, if anyone knows another root exploit or how to make this work on the DNA, it would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
i have a locked phone that was s-off when i got it and i never unlocked it, so i was able to flash the eng hboot without having to unlock, not sure if that would help or not.

I hex edited the dump, flashed it with dd through adb shell, and rebooted into bootloader which showed ***LOCKED*** at the top.

Scotty, please add a thanks to treadwayj in the OP for uploading the stock mmcblk0p3 when you update it.
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:

[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Use ENG HBOOT and this tool to change the flag (just displays ON):

It also lets you changed ***Unlocked*** line to whatever you want and get rid of the HTC development disclaimer from your splash screen.
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
Thanks guys,don't flash the zips just yet since the 01 is still present in the locked phone. More later :)
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
That is not the same as what were doing here. This fixes things correctly,not superficially(wich is IMO fraudulent)
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
It will actually be locked and isn't just a patched hboot, meaning it can be returned for warranty.
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
Here's a copy of my mmcblk0p3 I flashed after hex editing.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/73rce2sgtlb6ne1/mmcblk0p3.zip
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Lets say I flash this and Lock my bootloader... is it stuck like that or can I use my Unlock_code.bin to re-unlock it?
[HTC Droid DNA] kern3l:
doesn't "fastboot oem lock" do the same thing ?
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
This can only be done if you are s-off, in which case the bootloader will be locked, but you will still be s-off, meaning you can flash roms etc. If necessary, you can revert it and have both s-off and an unlocked bootloader. If you lock the bootloader with this and then change it back to s-on, it will be completely locked and you can then return it for warranty. But if you need to do it now, don't flash the files because they aren't correct right now; you will have to manually copy your mmcblk0p3 partition, hex edit it with the modified data from my post on page 3, and reflash it with the commands the OP.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Using the lock command will change it from ***UNLOCKED*** to ***RELOCKED***, so htc/vzw will still know that you unlocked the bootloader and possibly try to void your warranty. Using this, you can change it to ***LOCKED***, and it will appear to be the same as it was when you bought it.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
ok thanks for clearing that up
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
you can unlock it. you can use your unlock code,you can flash your "unlocked" mcblk0p3,or if the zip files work,you can unlock or lock it at will with them. i personally keep my stock hboot unlocked so i can use fastboot flash and fastboot boot(tho as mentioned,you can easily install radios and recoveries while s on and locked)
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
OK,if some brave soul wants to test the zip files,go ahead. Run the query zip first,then the locked zip(assuming your unlocked or relocked) if queery installs with no errors and provides the correct response.

Please take a before and after bootloader pic.

Zips should be safe,but again I can't guarantee it and take no responsibility for anything bad that happens as a direct or indirect result.
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
Did you hear back from s-trace? I'll try it out when I get home in an hour or so.
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
Yup. He seemed to think they would be safe
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
Successfully tested the query, unlock, and lock zip files (didn't bother with the relocked one, its kinda pointless anyway). All worked with the newest CWM touch recovery without any errors. I also dumped mmcblk0p3 after testing, and the 01 remained untouched by the zip.

Here are the requested pics:

unlocked, before flashing zip

locked, after flashing zip

[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
awsome! thnks for all your support and testing :cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] Serinety:
I think the work on this is great. Thanks for the time spent on this.

But... Has anyone had a problem getting replacement devices? I have easily had close to 100 or more replacement devices over the last 10 years as a vzw customer. I'm the guy you all hate, when I scratch my screen I call up customer service and male up some lame excuse about how something isn't working right and they send me a replacement. Point is, I send all my phones back, rooted, unlocked, and running roms. I've never been, ever, had an issue. So while I can appreciate the work being done, I question the necessity.

Can any one tell me why I would ever need to do this? Is the warranty issues I don't know about where being unlocked would cause a problem?

To be clear, I am not in anyway discrediting these guys, what they do is incredible, and I sincerely appreciate it. I just don't know I would use it, so I'd like someone to hook me up with info :)
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
I just switched to vzw from t-mo in December and I haven't had to send back a device yet so I don't have any personal experience of how picky they are, but back on t-mobile they were crazy about this type of thing. Sometimes people got away with it, sometimes they didn't, but there were a significant number of people that got caught. To get a replacement you first had to take it to a store where they checked the bootloader and a few other things (they cared enough to train every employee to check the bootloader of every type of phone... fairly significant effort went into this) and they checked it again at the repair center. Even if it was a hardware problem completely unrelated to rooting, they'd say flat out no at the store if it was unlocked. If they found it at the repair center they'd sometimes want people to pay for the repairs or to replace the whole device. Back on the htc sensation forums, people would occasionally hard brick phones to stop them from finding out if for some reason they couldn't get it back to stock s-on.

So I'm still kinda paranoid about it from t-mobile... And the actual method is in another thread and is completed and noob-proof, so theres no harm in doing it anyway if you need it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Serinety:
I could definitely understand the paranoia coming from t-mobile lol. Well on vzw, it's a 5 min process over the phone "hi, my phone doesn't <insert random unfixable, hardware problem here > I've done a master reset and bought a new charger but it's still doing it." "okay sir, a new one is on its way, anything else?"

I have never in 10 years gone into a store for any service. I only deal with 611
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
Every day I start liking Verizon even more lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
You're right with that statment. The fact that folks will use it for fraudulent claims makes me not even want to share info like this.

I'm of the opinion if you break your stuff you should man up to it,and pay for it. Your fraudulent warranty claims are making device and service prices higher for the rest of us. Thanks :rolleyes:

How you've conned vzw out out a hundred devices is not something I would brag about.
[HTC Droid DNA] Serinety:
Well you're right, and my point was not to brag, it was to under stand the need to do this.

As far as me, personally being responsible for your extra costs, that's a stretch. I worked as a store manager for a major retail chain for many years, and I can assure, at least at my stores, frodulent returns were the least of my concerns. We had a budget specifically for RTMs, (return to manufacturer) that was there regardless of the legitimacy of the return. I suspect vzw has the same budget and credits in place.

Anyway, i dont want to venture anymore off topic than this, thanks for your work none the less :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
And none of that makes it any less illegal or morally wrong to file tens of thousands of dollars worth of false claims.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Nice work scotty, but are we over complicating things?

if we want to lock:

adb shell

su

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33780

if we want to unlock

adb shell

su

echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33780

Don't screw up these commands btw (copy paste them).
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
thanks for the reply beaups! thats defaintely easier than the dump/reflash mmcblk0p3 method,and prolly faster than flashing the zip files. the zip files may have less of a margin for error,check out this thread if you havent seen it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160677

is there a flag for the "tampered" banner as well? if so do you guys know where it is? inside hboot itself? the next thing we could work on is being able to reset that flag,so folks dont need to flash new bootloaders or run ruus to get rid of it. :)

thanks again for the addidional info :cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
tampered I "believe" lives inside misc. I see /sbin/tpd wanting to set some flags, but haven't really spent the time to track it down.

It could be in p3, but p3 is wp after the early bootloaders so I find it unlikely.

What's the story on 0x83F8 in p3?

Or, it could just be hboot's response to seeing unsigned kernel and/or recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
not sure on 0x83F8. ive not looked at the whole partition,i dont have one of these so ive only see 0x8400 that several folks have reported.

can someone upload or email me their entire p3?
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
Won't

fastboot oem write secureflag 3 lock the device s-on and fastboot write secureflag 1 unlock the device
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
3 will s-on and if you have any mods to hboot will instantly brick. 0 is s-off and you cannot execute that command, you would need to exploit again.
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
oh i thought you could if you have eng hboot and didnt think about needing exploit again
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
1)turning s on with eng hboot will prolly brick the device,assuming it to be signed with the debug signiture,and not a release signiture.

2)even if it didnt,write suefcureflag 0 requires a special file to be present on the extenal sd on older phones,and may require an external sd mounted OTG via the microusb in this case. ive not known the writesecureflag 0 to ever work,even with an eng h boot on older phones
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
btw I had the wrong offset, should be 33796, and, yes, it does work.
