Ok I know this a very common question and it may be annoying for some users but I'll be short

Is there a way to unlock Bootloader with Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No?

I thought that instead of collecting info for other sites it can be better to ask here

Also, my Tipo is new security, 13w06

Please tell me there's a way :crying::crying::crying:
[General Questions and Answers] niranjan94:
Yes ... You can unlock your Tipo's Bootloader easily by following the official instructions given by Sony Corporation itself ... So, head over here and follow the steps carefully ... :fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] rena14:
In your device, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked :crying::crying:
[General Questions and Answers] niranjan94:
Well ... if you look here in the List of Supported Devices ... Both Tipo and Tipo Dual is supported. So, i'd recommend you just go about with the steps and try to unlock ...
[General Questions and Answers] rena14:
Sorry but Sony steps say clearly that if I have "Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No" you can't continue... It doesn't bother me to try, but my Tipo can get bricked, and that's not funny :D

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynebradyson:
Bought a used Nexus 4 for my sister on Ebay. It came rooted and flashed with a custom ROM. I flashed it back to stock 4.2.2. Phone works great for my sister for about 3 weeks. Now she gets no sound from the earpiece. I've Googled for answers and tried most of what I read with no luck. It was on 4.2.2 with .48 radio. I tried flashing the phone to .33 radio, tried flashing the ROM to 4.2.1, tried flashing a custom ROM, etc. Nothing. I tried making phone calls using VOIP apps like Viber, and same no sound from earpiece.

What else can I do? I know warranty doesn't exchange when ownership changes so I guess I'm out of luck trying to warranty it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobdeagle:
ive had 2 like this 1 intermitten and 1 earpiece doesnt work at all id say its bad connections inside the phone or its blown the speaker. your **** out of luck with warranty cause you bought it from ebay but its damaged and software wont fix it.

call an LG service centre and ask how much to fix the earpiece. that's all you can do; hope you got it cheap from ebay.

alternatively how was it sold on eBay ? if it said new etc you can maybe lodge a complaint via ebay and send it back to get your money back but i dont know how that process works and it will only work if the seller lied to you.

good luck.

This just happened to me going from cm 10.1 (4.2) to 10.2 (4.3) it seems nothing wrong with the hardware because going BACK to 10.1 (4.2) brings back sound to my earpiece... Strange
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobWalker:
Your issue is due to the radio version installed with cm 10.1. Because Android 4.3 requires the .84 radio, you must download and flash the .84 radio before flashing cm 10.2. You can download the .84 radio from https://www.copy.com/s/JniBu/4.3 files (mako)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mitch8892:
I was wondering if it will ever be possible to convert a standard S4 to a Google Edition S4. Basically taking the software, firmware, drivers from the Google S4 and flashing them to the TouchWiz S4. My understanding is that these devices are identical in hardware which could possibly enable an unlockable bootloader on the TouchWiz S4 by flashing the Google Edition S4 bootloader.

I am aware that is is not as simple as flashing the bootloader, as the bootloader is locked, my question is whether it is possible or not and if there would be any advantages from doing so.

An unlockable bootloader was something I had grown to appreciate with my Galaxy Nexus and would love to see the same for the S4.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2343355 Got you covered
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mitch8892:
Thanks. I've taken a look at that before and actually flashed it. What I meant was at more of a 'deeper' level per se.

I get the impression that no benefits would come from porting over the bootloader and other aspects from that device since I would get essentially the same device by running that ROM.

Do you have any experience running that build? Also does anyone have a package that would allow the use of the TouchWiz camera app on AOSP ROMs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
What benefits? It's an unlocked bootloader, you really need that? We'll get one eventually and loki takes care of that now.

I ran it. If you want an AOSP-like rom that's fully stable, use it.

And the rom isn't pure AOSP. It's still TouchWiz based, just not themed. So you can download the missing apk package that CleanRom has available for download and move the camera into system/app/.

The only things you'll be missing are the smart scroll etc, that you cannot port over.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] djrish:
Hey guys wondering if anyone experienced the phone being basically bricked without actually unlocking, rooting or anything.

It has happened before one, just laying on the table and the phone turning off but it came back on after a while.

Today it occurred again but has not turned back on for two days. When charging the only light is the LED flashing constantly every second. If I hold the power button and volume up then the flashing of the LED changes pace to One long flash (1 sec) to two quicker flashing ones (.5 seconds). If I unplug it and plug the phone back, The LED flashing is back to the original constant pace.

When unplugged sometimes holding the power and volume up button initiates the LG logo and then turns off and then shows the logo once more and then turns off for good.

If I plug this into the computer, its like someone ejecting a usb and plugging it in like a maniac. I heard the connecting and disconnecting sounds from windows nonstop like as if its about to blow up.

I've tried holding the power button for a minute the same goes with different combinations with the volume buttons.

The only thing I haven't tried is opening the phone, kind of afraid I will mess it up. Any solutions?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Never heard of this but I can throw a few suggestions out. Try unplugging, then holding both Volume buttons and the power button (All three) for about 10 seconds. Try different USB ports.

Try this if all else fails: Source: http://cellphoneforums.net/lg/t348484-perform-master-hard-reset-lg-optimus-g.html#axzz2YPtvkfDk

To Perform a Master Reset via Hardware

1.	Turn off your device.

2.	With the device turned off, press and hold the Volume Down key as well as the Home key at the same time.

3.	While both the Volume Down key and the Home key are held down, press the Power button.

4.	When the LG logo appears, release all the keys.

5.	Scroll to and highlight wipe data/factory reset by pressing the Volume Down key. Then press the Power button.

6.	Scroll to and highlight Yes – delete all user data by pressing the Volume Down key. Then press the Power button.

7.	As soon as the wipe has been completed, press the Volume Down key to scroll to and select wipe cache partition. Press the Power button when ready.

8.	As soon as the wipe has been completed, press the Power button to select reboot system now.

9.	The master reset should now be successfully completed and your LG Optimus G should restart.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValZumZum:
Yesterday i intalled the cm 10.1 on my defy, then, i wanted to go back to the cm 10 backup i did before installing the new one, so I did a wipe data and cache, and then restored the backup (i have done this hundreds of times before and never had any trouble).

The problem was, that in the middle of the restore, the phone died (an error message and then nothig, i had to take of the battery to turn it off) :S

Now, it doesn't start (it shows the google logo and then resets).

aaand, the boot menu (volume key when the light is on while booting) is complety broken: The options to open the custom recovery or the stock recovery doesn' t work (they do nothing when i select them, it just go back to the boot menu).

The option to enable adb neither works, so i cant fix it from the pc...

and the fatory recovery (power + volume) doesn't change anything.

Any ideas? :(

- Enter Bootloader Mode on you phone (Power+VolUp)

- Connect phone to you PC (USB)

- Open RSD - Lite

- Flash new SBF

But when I click "Start" or "Show Device" in the RSD Lite, it does nothing... am I missing something?

[Windows 8 General] xyancompgeek:
Hi all,

I had a freaky idea this morning. Windows 8 installations can also be turned into 'Windows to go' drives, meaning that you can run the whole os off a usb drive. I thought a lot about an idea and then i tried to implement it. Few basic things first though, windows 8 needs an ntfs formatted drive, which android (officially) doesnt support. Before i reached the android part though, i took my 32gb class 10 sd card and with a reader, made a 'windows to go' drive. I then booted into it and customized it for extreme performance. Once booted, it was zipping on the OS. Satisfied, i took out the card and inserted it into my galaxy note (running gb). Thats when i realized it had problems detecting it. I got past that issue too by following this thread : http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1416923 . Then it could read the ntfs formatted sd card and with a bit of effort (the script had to be run every time after it disconnected), got it to mount as a UMS. Now i restarted my machine and went to the boot order (that gave me enough time to mount the card as UMS) and in the boot menu it showed me 2 options 'Android UMS Composite' and 'Android UMS Composite 1'. Sadly though, neither booted win 8 and went to the win 7 os on my hdd. What went wrong here? Could anybody help me to actually implement the idea? Just to check whether it could work? I dont plan to use it......but it would be cool just to think that it could work.

Cheers

Xyan
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Galaxy note is an ARM device. Windows 8 is x86. Thats a pretty damn big limiting factor right there. Although where windows 7 comes in I dont know as windows 7 is also x86 and wont boot on the note unless your post was incomplete
[Windows 8 General] hellot1M:
You should look into drivedroid. I remember finding a tutorial online explaining how to boot from ntfs using drivedroid. It could be a start into what you are trying
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
that won't help, issue here is that he is trying to boot windows on a device that physically cannot run windows.
[Windows 8 General] TakuyaZ:
Did you read it properly? He is clearly saying he want to boot win8 from the devices storage. Acting as a hdd
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
the storage of a galaxy note smartphone which is an arm device incapable of running windows 8, clearly I read it more than you did. As I also pointed out in my first post he then become completely ambiguous as to whether he is still talking about his note or an actual windows 8 machine (many of which won't boot from SD anyway which then solves the problem a second time).
[Windows 8 General] TakuyaZ:
Well, the storage have nothing to do with processor, did you seen a usb drive with a arm processor?

And also windows 8 can be booted from a external storage medium. It just cant be fast as running it in hdd with sata interface
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
well actually usb devices do tend to have a processor on board, including arm ones occasionally, just usually with a few kb of ram at 10-20mhz and yes arm cores do go that low.

The original post says he can view the ntfs formatted SD card but cannot boot from it. So yes I am right in saying that the link to how to view ntfs storage is irrelevant as that point has been reached.

He is then saying he can't boot windows 8 on an ARM device, an ArM device cannot run windows 8 regardless of what type of storage is used. It is then confusing about whether he is now referring to a regular windows machine where again they cannot always boot from SD regardless of storage. On top of that I don't even think a galaxy note can boot from SD if provided with an operating system it can physically run.

Clearly you did not read what the problem was and lack the common knowledge than an ARM CPU cannot run an x86 OS which would cause the arm CPU to not recognise win 8 as a bootable operating system and leave it out from the boot list. A regular x86 pc which doesn't support booting from SD would also leave it off the list.
[Windows 8 General] TakuyaZ:
First. I opened a usb drive before. It only have a usb controller and a nand flash.

And I need to clarify this. X86 pc does support booting from sd card.

Just Google it if you still not sure.

And I have booted ubuntu on my pc using my phone. Search for an app called drivedroid

And also. He said he used mass storage mode to boot to win 8 using his phone. His phone is acting as a usb drive. It's super possible.

Sent from my MT25i
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
again, I said usb devices not specifically storage, and some usb controllers will indeed have a CPU on board, some will not.

you can come right here if you want and see my computers, I have 2 desktops, 2 laptops and 3 netbooks in my house. Neither desktop has an Sd reader but of the portable devices only 2 of them booted from SD (a dell inspiron 1525 laptop and brothers Samsung netbook) whereas the rest have no option in their bios boot order to boot from SD or otherwise, my laptop actually lists SD as a usb device for some reason which is probably how it booted from it, the Samsung netbook did list it as SD natively. All 5 laptops/netbooks booted fine from USB.

Of the 2 desktops one doesn't support USB booting either, will only boot from SATA or IDE (and it does have an IDE DVD drive).

I rest my case that not all devices support booting from USB or SD, nowadays USB is standard but one of the netbooks which wouldn't go from SD isn't even a year old.

I don't think android as mass storage actually exposes itself to bios correctly, it certainly doesn't give the system full rear/write permissions. It may well not support booting.
[Windows 8 General] TakuyaZ:
I need to agree on the first statement, but you do have to run sdcard in usbmode, so It will work on most modern pc, and drive droid somehow emulates a usb drive inorder to make the android devices looks as a hdd/usb drive

:thumbup:
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
nothing I can do about SD cards on netbooks with integrated slots without an external adaptor in which case just use a god damned memory stick.

Drive droid does actually look like an interesting idea.
[Windows 8 General] TakuyaZ:
Yup, netbooks generally sucks for anything except web browsing tho.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Yo 6677, nobody cares what PCs you have or how pedantic you can be about what the OP did or didn't say. The post was unclear; just request clarification. As for using Android UMS as a bootable drive, that actually should work (so long as it's UMS and not MTP) if you can mark the first partition as Active, which is likely not possible but I've never tried.as for permissions, the point of UMS mode is that you have raw, unbrokered access; there is no mechanism that *could* enforce permissions.
[Windows 8 General] xyancompgeek:
Okay.......just to clarify....i dont want to run win8 on my galaxy note.....i want my galaxy note to act like a usb pen drive for any PC to boot win8 from my android. Btw, droiddrive only lets me make fat32 partitions. And i had already made the external sd card partition active. I wiped out the whole thing and decided to start small.....i took a 2gb card and formatted it to fat32 with dos booting......the pc booted into dos off my android perfectly. What went wrong with the win8 stuff?
[Windows 8 General] ads2996:
It probably has something to do with Windows 8 requiring ntfs and xrivedroid not being able to mount it in such a way that it would work. That's my idea anyway
[Windows 8 General] xyancompgeek:
Hi all!

I managed to get to make it boot!:D

It reaches the windows 8 boot logo and the spinning circle just keeps spinning on and on and on.....doesn't stop spinning but doesn't go further than that either.

When it does that, there is

a) No HDD activity

b) No response from Num Lock and Caps Lock key lights

c) No BSOD or response when the phone is unplugged

It's like it doesn't care. Just keeps spinning.

Any ideas to what could be wrong:confused: The drive is definitely NTFS, with extra space present. I've tried this on multiple PCs:rolleyes:

I think I'll try making it again
