[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Noremacam:
Something interesting happened to my phone today. First, let me explain what happened, and if I interpreted it wrong, you can disregard the rest of my entire message.

I rebooted my me7 phone and upon startup saw "Samsung" with an unlocked padlock underneath it(which is what shows on loki'd phones on startup from the old firmware).

If it is possible to show that on startup without actually having the bootloader unlocked, then ignore me and I'm sorry for getting your hopes up.

If it is not possible, then I don't know what I did that caused that, and everything I know I did shouldn't logically allow for it(hence "accidental").

Here's the story of everything that's happened to my phone up to today, because I don't know what is relevant.

1. My phone came with the MDK build, which I happily loki'd and ran roms on. (life was fun then)

2. I got stuck with a rom that would crash constantly.

3. I found out me7 was rooted and falsely assumed a bootloader lock was going to be easy once rooted.

4. Based on #3, I decided to flash me7 from Odin to my phone. My thought was I'd come back to roms once it was unlocked again and roms were more stable. You have no idea how stupid I feel about this choice.(actually anyone on me7 here probably does know)

5. I rooted my now me7 phone and installed the latest root binary.

6. I installed the Verizon galaxy s4 wallet installer 2.apk.

7. Forgetting to install xposedinstaller first, I ran the wallet installer. Naturally wallet wasn't there.

8. D'oh, so I installed xposedinstaller2.1.4apk and ran it, and rebooted.

9. I ran the wallet installer apk again, and I don't remember what it said, but it wanted me to reboot.

10. I pressed the button at the bottom of the application to reboot.

11. The phone rebooted and displayed "SAMSUNG" with an unlocked padlock underneath. Naturally, I freaked out.

12. Not believing my eyes, I ran the wallet installer app again, and it again offered me to reboot underneath.

13. This time the normal Samsung logo showed up with no padlock icon visible. I rebooted a couple more times, but could never see it again.

14. At this point I thought "maybe the old bootloader is still there and the me7 odin didn't contain the new aboot and other boot components?"

15. Excited at this prospect, I attempted to downgrade to MDK build via odin. It failed.

16. Disheartened, I put back me7 via odin.

I'm completely aware that none of those things should've momentarily unlocked the bootloader. I also don't blame you if you were to think I was a troll, as it doesn't make any sense to me either. My next task, once I have free time, is to repeat all those steps starting at step 4, and see if I can get it to do it again.

Is there anything anyone else wants from my phone that might be relevant?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bfmetcalf:
It just means a partition has been changed, ie, you added su binaries and such to the system partition so it is telling you something changed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Noremacam:
Crap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] metalunna:
I get the "unlocked" screen every once in a while. I found it is caused by my SD Card.

If I take my SD card out before the reboot, It boots fine..

If I reboot with the SD card inserted, I get the unlock screen.

It also changes my Status to "Unofficial" in About Phone

---Not Rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Noremacam:
That sounds bizarre. Makes me wonder what specific action does that - and if its exploitable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Billabonged:
Every time I reboot my phone, I have the lock that is unlocked under the Samsung logo. I always thought it was because I rooted me7. Anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] killajoe:
I to have this from time to time.. That doesn't indicate the boot loader is unlocked though.. I think it means there was a system change..

my device is doesnt hav any problems but my friends device was lagging ... he reset it and everything is good now !

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
Smart pause can be used in good light conditions only, in a bright environment ... i find it useless nonetheless ... also i a factory reset doesn't help resolving certain lagging issues see if u can update the phone to latest version ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamranhaghighi:
I rooted my phone! + wantom lite! what happens if i still factory reset? removes root and completly factory?:(( damn wont lose apps+ stuff takes time to backup also! i can't update:S but will donwload new version of wantam lite tonight coz the one i ahve is almsot the frist version! lol and also after this happend i almost haven't use my phone for 4w eeks! thats crazy but im so sad :( and .... also have no diea what to do whit my phone anymore this phone made me forget everything about phones damn im so angry!!!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
If you have a custom rom report your problem to the rom's thread ... also the sd card burned by the heat?

How can u hate a specific phone when u are not running on it what it is supposed to run ... meaning stock software ... because those problems u mentioned are software issues which most likely occurred by lack of optimization of the rom u run atm ... i'm on stock and have non of those issues ...

Dell already dropped their upgrade price to $119 with free beats headphones.

http://mobility.dell.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=35693_b1b968a3732340d4ba36346f43bec2b0

New customers are $99.

So it sucks that I waited to buy (although my upgrade date is Aug 30) since htcdev doesn't work, but can save money. Guess I will wait for the next price drop waiting for a unlock/s-off hack.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thepolishguy:
Thanks. My only concern was no one would see it there.

I am not worried about selling my phone. I've been watching Swappa and they're selling fast enough. I just would prefer it got into the hands of a developer.

I didn't want to 'use' XDA. I honestly just wanted to see a real enthusiast get an opportunity.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BeansTown106:
im confused on what u mean but i wouldnt mind a unlocked one :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
yea buddy!!

that would be sick!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thepolishguy:
Sorry. I just meant that I'll have no problem selling my phone. I'm not trying to 'use' XDA as a marketplace. I can sell my phone on swappa no problem.

But I wanted to get the info out here so someone that could really use it was able to get it.

Make any more sense?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] raphytaffy:
I think what thepolishguy is trying to say is that he would like to sell this to a developer who may be able to use it in order to help us all gain access to an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF. That would be the best case scenario anyway. Best of luck!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thepolishguy:
Thanks. That is what I am trying to say.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
honestly for S-OFF testing from two HTC phones I was a tester for.. (HTC Rezound (included use of a paperclip..., and the HTC Inc4gLTE)

your MUST be willing to brick your phone and it's your fault. not theirs..

best bet is if we get a team interested, we get a community phone bought using bounty thread and they have a phone to work off of.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unconfuse:
This is still a good offer to any dev eager to build in which they either didn't get a chance to unlock or bricked theirs during testing. Of course not a large user base at this point but once a dev always a dev and they will get the itch!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NAU420:

I really want to use the ''play from cloud'' feature, so I don't fill up my whole sd card with music.

If I use US Proxy to log in, and download the software, am I good to go without messing around with proxy/vpn anymore?

(Music app is international, no need to set up vpn on phone I think)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
What country are you trying to use Google Music from? If you use a U.S. based proxy to download the Google Music Manager software and set it up you should be good to go and shouldn't need the proxy after everything has been initially setup. I would recommend checking out this guide on how to setup Google Music outside the U.S. http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/19/how-to-use-google-music-from-anywhere-yes-outside-of-the-unit/. Also Google has expanded its list of Google Music supported countries to include Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, and United Kingdom. Let me know if you still have questions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryfalcon:
Alright, two more questions:

Is this legal? What I mean by that is this against google tos?

Also, using vpn/proxy to log in, is it safe to log in with my google account? Should I change password afterwards?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryfalcon:
bump #2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
As far as legality is concerned I must disclaim that I am not a lawyer. Doing this is not illegal but it may violate Google's Terms of Service (I have no read the full Terms of Service) but they are unlikely do anything about it as many people who want to use Google Music outside the countries that are officially supported use this method. Regarding your question about is it safe to login with your Google account, there is always some amount of risk when using a proxy but overall you should be ok when using this method and shouldn't need to change your password after. You can change your password after if it makes you feel more secure, I always respect when people have privacy concerns :). Also sorry for not getting back to you sooner I was out with my family for the day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryfalcon:
That's alright. I'm really unsure if I want to do this, I don't think security will be a very big problem (using https) + changing password before and after. Although will I be able to use google music on my phone without vpn? Can I upload music without proxy after this? Only thing keeping me away is if its against google tos
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Once you set this up then you don't have to worry about using the proxy anymore, and don't need to setup a proxy on your phone. Yes, you can upload music without the proxy after the proxy is just for initial setup. For the terms of service I just did a quick look and yes technically it does violate the Google terms of service for Play Services such as Google Music. The following quote is from the Google Play terms of service in the Music on Google Play section:

What country are you trying to access Google Play Music from?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryfalcon:
Norway,

and thanks a lot for taking a look in the TOS. I'm just afraid that the service will never come here. I think I will stay out if it, with the security issues and violating the tos. But thank you, this was really helpful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryfalcon:
I was thinking.. If I were to take a trip to one of those countries Google Play Music is available, would I manage to ''unlock'' the service there? Also would it violate TOS then?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
If you singed into your Google account while connected to a internet network in one of those countries then yes it should unlock it and you should be able to use it. And that should not violate the Terms of Service as you would be in one the countries where the service is officially supported which is acceptable use :good:.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnycastro:
I live in the Philippines (Asia)

Google Play is limited to Apps & Books in my country (as you guys know unlike iTunes you cannot change your country w/ your Google Account)

So I have been using an old Google Apps account (admin'd by my friend) + strongVPN + Entropay credit card -- yesterday 6-Feb-2014 I suddenly lost access to Play Music even w/ VPN on. I contacted my friend and he did not do anything to our Google Apps account. So it seems Google switched us to Asia/Philippines (?). I cleared payment methods on this and logged out.

I connected to VPN (USA server) on my device, created a new google account, and I got access back but now, when I add an Entropay VCC it is not working. I get an error and the transaction is canceled - I have tried the MSFT zip code trick, the Entropay zip code trick and both are not working :(

So right now I am stumped. I can upload music & stream to iOS/Android via the Play Music App but cannot purchase content.

You can have tricks on the REAME-20130807 https://drive.google.com/#folders/0B_fPIBhY3pcRSVVBSDY1TjJKQXc

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

First step I think is trouble of data space (up to 1Go) seems too small :confused:

My goals is to modify script of saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip to

1 ) create /sdcard/tubuntu.img, ext4 image disk of up to 4 Go

2 ) mount loop /sdcard/tubuntu.img to /data/tubuntu

3 ) create symlink betwen /data/tubuntu/ubuntu /data/ubuntu

Q: Why I don't mount directly tubuntu.img to /data/ubuntu

A: deploy script use temp directories that need to be moved.

Currently process fail on creating file system tubuntu.img with code:

busybox mkfs.ext2 -F /sdcard/tubuntu.img

mkfs.ext2: lseek: Value too large for defined data type :crying::crying:

My saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf+crespo.zip can be found here:

https://drive.google.com/#folders/0B_fPIBhY3pcRSVVBSDY1TjJKQXc

This can be installed with recovery (and should break anything). It take up to 10 minutes to install.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] nyl:
try making it vfat (not sure if ubuntu reads vfat), anyway something like this should be for a 4gb vfat i think.

mkdir /data/tubuntu
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/tubuntu.img bs=1024 count=4194340
busybox mkfs.vfat /sdcard/tubuntu.img
mount -o loop -t vfat /sdcard/tubuntu.img /data/tubuntu

Edit: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ would be better for creating ext4 image
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] Tygerlord:
vfat can't support linux os...

Never mind, I've solved my problem.

Now I've a disk image tubuntu.img with saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf expended on it.

I've /data/tubuntu to mount this image and symbolic link /data/ubuntu -> /data/tubuntu/ubuntu :good:

Next step, build kernel for crespo with mounting /sdcard/tubuntu.img and use root dir /data/ubuntu...:rolleyes:
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] nyl:
almost done with the kernel :D hope it will work :))

okay i got into adb shell tried to manually mount /data/ubuntu, didn't work :(
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] Tygerlord:

mount -t ext4 /sdcard/tubuntu.img /data/tubuntu

This work for me, but my kernel build don't. Seem having trouble mounting system partition see attached file for dmesg.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] Tygerlord:
Ok after lot of efforts I've install script creating ubuntu.img (based on saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip) on sdcard and kernel,

kernel mount correctly ubuntu.img but stay locked on google logo...

Adb is working and I retreive dmesg (see debug.txt file)

There are plenty of error and I can't understand what happen , missing knowledge on ubuntu touch process to debug that...

Since first release start on october 17 I think that developpers will be too busy for help now...

I can't progress anymore, current developments are available here

So I wait for help or more documentations on ubuntu touch process to continue...
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] Tygerlord:
Last kernel seem produce less errors.. (but display still not working). I've message on log lxc-android-boot.log,
