[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Why don't you contact Sprint then & get them to sort it out?

Pretty sure the moto unlock site states that they consider it impossible to re-lock a phone once the bootloader has been unlocked.

Read some posts that talk about re-locking, but the device would prob still register as unlocked on the moto unlock site. This may be what you are running into.

None of the PQ's I have were disallowed, despite me not being the original owner, so the codes/unlock will undoubtedly tie to a device serial# rather than a registered owner.

Dude - both my handsets had #'s in the code number sequence. Why don't you try cut & paste like I suggested? What have you got to lose?

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

To clarify - I think a factory reset handset from Sprint would still show up an unlocked boot loader warning if it had been done by the previous owner. It would prob have to be re-locked by moto somehow to remove the warning (unlikely).

As an unlocked handset would have void warranty issues, would Sprint really sell a boot unlocked Q? (Also unlikely).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I think we're tracking just not on the technical terms.... although I think sprint has a way of like hard wiping the phone or something. A factory firmware flash. Bam. Back to locked.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Also I am just using windows command prompt ie DOS. I can't copy and paste the code.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Ofcourse you can. Right click inside cmd window, in popup select "Select"/"Edit"/"Mark" (I can't remember), left mouse click and drag to select. Enter or click (I don't remember) copies to clipboboard. Much easier than it seems. Non-intuitive but it's windows. Cygwin's shells might be better.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I can copy and paste from CMD.

Right click --> mark. Highlight text, right click again. It's on your clipboard now.

To paste into the terminal, just right-click --> paste.

Edit - mrvek beat me to it :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I've never used a mouse in dos prompt.... lol

in a chat session with Motorola right now regarding the issue
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Update: copy and pasted the exact code via yall's instructions.... and... "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."

Also, the Motorola rep showed in his system that the device was "not rooted". He couldn't figure it out and said he would get back with my via email.

Maybe its some deal Sprint has worked out with Motorola? They tie my name (as a known rooter/unlocker) to the hardware and tell Moto to disallow unlocking on a particular device?

Does anyone know of another way to unlock the bootloader?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, unlocking the bootloader does void the warranty... so if you're getting warranty replacements after unlocking the bootloader, perhaps this is why.

I seriously doubt it tho. I would just make damned sure the code is correct - no spaces being pasted in, etc.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Yeah - select the text you want to copy, then it's either ctrl-c or right click, copy. I forget. Same as this guy ^

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

^This is why I suggested you paste into notepad first, so you can check for spaces. Pasting directly into the web portal will carry spaces across, even though it looks like you haven't selected any!

Try via notepad & see what comes up. I had this exact problem with my first one & solved it this way. The second one went through perfect, because I used the notepad method.

Good luck with it. I doubt you have been banned for rooting/unlocking, that is what the bootloader unlock portal is for.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rileysmith:
I also was unable to unlock my device through the official method. I copied the text out of the command prompt into notepad, verified it was all there, made sure there were no spaces, removed extra text in the lines, etc. I rechecked the code about 10 times and Motorola kept rejecting it.

My phone was won in a giveaway. It was shipped to me directly from Sprint but I never activated it on their service. I'm a Ting customer. They're a Sprint MVNO (reseller basically), and they had some issue activating in in their system, possibly because it hadn't previously been on Sprint. I wonder if that perhaps kept it from being activated in Motorola's database?

Anyway, you should be able to use this tool to unlock your bootloader. It worked for me, though I can't promise it's as good a solution as the official way or that it will also work for you and not do bad things to your phone.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] blazra:
It works on Photon Q too! I just unlocked my Photon Q with it... No problems...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
So there is a tool huh? GOOD.

I just got off the phone with "Motorola Level 3 Support" and a guy named Jonathan told me he ran into this issue before. There is nothing Motorola can do and he suggests I go to Sprint for another phone. I said, well isn't this a feature of the phone, an unlockable bootloader? He said, "yes, but it's not a feature we support, because it voids the warranty" So they don't support any problems with that feature.

But since it was a selling point of the phone I think someone is liable for denying me full features of my phone. But regardless, I am going to try this new method and hopefully unlock this phone. Will report back.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Were you already rooted? And if so, via what method? The page for the tool says it needs root access and SU installed. Or did you unlock without root access by using this tool?

TIA
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rileysmith:
I was already rooted. I looked at my past posts and found that I thanked someone for this Motorola JB root method that doesn't touch the bootloader, so I assume it's what I used. link

edit: I also verified that I have the tool on my hard drive, so I'm 99% certain it's what I used.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
It worked! Badass.... Now this unlocker tool seems just as easy. 2 click root method???? We'll see.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Yeah, it really was that easy! Thanks bro!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] blazra:
Yes - already rooted via motochopper tool.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachukaki:
Did anyone with .83 modem find that had alot of noise and losses in call?i had this with the leak version too..but with 4.3 after flashing 4.2.2 still with .83 no problems..or it was just the call i just made??its late so i can't make another...but im asking if others had noise too...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tandr:
I used .83 for couple days, haven't noticed any noise. Now I'm on .84 and haven't noticed any noise problems either. I think mic volume is slightly better on .83 and .84 than on previous versions, but I did not run exact tests, just asked people if they hear me better then before.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachukaki:
it was just the one call i made..(i hope) .84??I didnt see that the official release has an updated modem!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tandr:
pikachukaki,

Well, I shall say .84 feels about the same (may be a bit snappier), but this is very subjective, I only can attribute to browsing on Wi-Fi, not heavy video or massive downloads. Since you are more proficient with these things, may I ask a question -- when I am burning updated ROM ( CM nighties through CyanDelta https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta&hl=en, just 3-10 megs update per nightly), do I need to reapply radio every time, or one time is good enough - nobody overrides it in ROMs anyway?

Thank you very much,

@ch

a bit OT: Do you know what this "modem" code is ? Whole firmware (including linux and stuff) for wireless modems and routers can be fit into 4 megs. These are like 50 megs images. Are they storing there, some funky tables for every cellular provider and their towers in the world?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danv28:
When I had my Nexus 4 I purchased the game Need for Speed, but when I go to download the game it says it isn't compatible with my current device. I find it odd, but the Xbox application does it as well. Is there a way to get these apps to work on the One?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vitruvian:
I lihink this schould be asked in the q/a thread but take a look at this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41258614&postcount=5530

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danv28:
Thanks a lot! Will try this out. :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Yup, for some reason EA decided to remove the game for the HTC One, as it was not compatible although it is for the S4... Hamdir's way works though :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elim:
Is it not contrary that EA didn't add the HTC One until now? This has to do with the fact that a publisher can decide (in the playstore) which devices (or specific hardware) are supported. Therefore newer devices are always not supported by default because they can't be in this lists also when there are no issues. I have the same issue with FIFA12 but could install and run the APK from an older device.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
NFS was available for awhile before it was removed for the HTC One, and there WERE issues. Besides, the S4 uses the same SoC..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danlat1415:
I've got Need for Speed most wanted running on my One without any problems.

The app installs fine isn't nodded and downloads the full data itself then runs fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Only if you sideload the APK from an older version of the game. The latest APK does not support the HTC One, and when you try to start the game, it launches and then a black screen with car sounds :P

My galaxy S3 charges slow like in an hour and a half I only get 10 - 15 % increase compared to before I got like 30 - 50%. I don't think its the charger cause I tried charging my sister's S3 and it charged normally. Should I calibrate my battery? If so how should I do it? Thank you in advance.

My suggestion try a different cable from a low end samsung mobile but original as duplicate wont do u any good.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkirk:
You may use a kernel like Perseus which offers settings to disable 'unstable power source detection' and 'remove the safety margin' of another 100mA, and use an app like 'galaxy s3 charging current' to monitor the charging rate. cables can make a big difference too, I use my wife's sony cable which offers me 1000ma charge rate compared to the samsung one (little twisted) witch charges at 400 mA.
