thanks to justDave on http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48236591

I was able to gain temp root access to my Terrain. I am trying to gain permanent root to it so I can do a backup of the ROM. Once I got that I will upload the ro.secure of my unlocked Terrain to this thread.

On a semi-related note, the /data/ partition on my stock rom is incredibly small at 787M, and with all the bloatwares, there is only 629M free, which is no where near enough for me. I am trying to create a new ROM that will mount mmcblk0p14, which has 4.3G, to data instead of as an internal sdcard. I'll let you know what I can find.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

thank you dinokent, I really wish the way you wrote here works, but unfortunately, I think the bootloader is locked or this phone doesn't support fastboot at all. If I run "adb reboot bootloader" it just does a regular full reboot. Recovery mode works, but with just these options:

- reboot system now

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- repair software by sdcard

- maintenance

first three options are as their names suggested. If I choose maintenance, I have to put in a 10 digit password, which of course I do not have. In my opinion, the "repair software by sdcard" is our best bet. I probably need to create a custom rom and then make an update.zip to flash the rom there. If you guys find anything new, please let me know here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aluminumx:
bad news.....

so yeah, I have been trying for the last couple of weeks to get the permanent root going, and then see if I can rearrange the partitions and maybe even see if there is a way to get it sim unlock for some of you guys. Unfortunately I have hit a major road block. Using temp root, I was able to get the boot partition off, but when I try to dd my custom boot image back on, the change didn't stick even though the dd command came back success. This prompts me to think that the phone is NAND locked and so far I can't find any info on how to bypass that. Anyone with any idea, please feel free to let me know and I'll give it a shot.

NEC Terrain could this be the only phone that can't be Rooted

I now have NEC Terrain and I have search far and wide for hours trying to root this phone. Has anyone found a way. My goal is just to update from 4.0.4 to 4.4

I don't think im asking for much. Any help will greatly be appreciated. :confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hack_by_yuri:
Any new about the unlock? Temporary unlock, anything?

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aluminumx:
nope, still can't unlock it (unless you already have an unlocked one), also there is no permanent root process yet. The problem remains that the boot and recovery partitions are locked and can't just dd a new image on to them. Temporary root is working fine using run_root_shell, but that is only giving me root access when I am using ADB.

Been noticing that while using it the back gets really warm. Almost certain this was not an issue before. Exchange needed?
[G2 General] sdsubball23:
I've tried a G2 at a retail store and I noticed it became warm while using it. I was mainly surfing the web and browsing through the phone and it became warm.
[G2 General] WhiteZero:
You didn't do this mod, did you?
[G2 General] StreetkillnHD:
It gets warm during games for me but thats normal
[G2 General] badtoy1986:
I did... should I undo it?
[G2 General] War-Rasta:
Your phone comes with built in protection to throtle down the CPU when it gets too hot in order to avoid frying it. With that mod what you did was to tell the phone to forget about throtling down and to simply run as fast as it needs to no matter the temp. This makes it a lot harder for the phone to cool down on its own (since the CPU is still producing a lot of heat) and I guess I don't have to tell you how bad heat can be for electronics...
[G2 General] jiteshj:
It gets hot in 15 min of playing A8 or MC4 :(
[G2 General] bayuadhi069:
If it gets too hot, your phone will restarts a lot to the point u cant use it. Until u shut it down and let it cool it self
[G2 General] monocay:
If it gets very very hot, I am sad to inform you, that your unit is faulty.

I had the same problem with my first unit. Also noticed that the benchmark results were quite lower as they should be.

Exchanged it for another one, this one gets only mildly hot and benchmark result are what they should be!
[G2 General] jayochs:
this is the first phone I've had in a while that doesn't actually get super hot.. like my s4 and dna did. how hot are we talking? hottest I've gotten up to was probably 38 degrees Celsius for battery temp, and like 65 for cpu
[G2 General] WhiteZero:
You got it!

I feel sorry for all the Sprint employees and LG for the users that blindly turn off thermal throttling, having no clue what it does, and then blame the phone for being defective.

Exactly, I felt that my phone getting warm and was thinking uh oh, better stop playing games otherwise risk damaging my device.

[G2 General] Foscot:
This.

Even when I punish this phone it just gets slower, never really hot at all. I used to be afraid of burning my hands on my SGS II, but this never gets hot enough for me to worry at all.
[G2 General] 1ackass:
So if my G2's cpu gets to 70 degrees and battery about 43 degrees in 10 minutes of playing gtasa, is that bad enough for service? :p
[G2 General] jcnbama:
You know my phone got really hot with my 3 to old playing Angry Birds Go the other day and I was pretty sure this had something to do with it. The only thing is that the way this is worded is confusing as heck. Do I need to have this switch in the on or off position? High temperature property off? Seems like the ON position is correct so it will throttle down the CPU accordingly.

*Edited screenshot in below post.*
[G2 General] WhiteZero:
Off is the default and I think enables throttling.
[G2 General] jcnbama:
I went back and re-read the mod post. If default is OFF I am going to go and turn it back to default. I am sure LG has it that way for a reason. I just wonder why they have those types of settings in there if their not beneficial overall. Weird. Thanks for the help!

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram150:
I'm big on custom ROMs and the benefits that come with them. I decided to get a Razr Maxx Hd for the supposedly amazing battery life and the exceptional reception, but so far I'm discouraged about what I've read about the available custom ROMs. Do guys recommend the non developer version of the Razr Hd? I've skimmed through the Development section and it seems that even if do get that bootloader issue unlocked through the Motorola website, a LOT of people seem to struggle with the basics such as Wifi and Camera CM10. I haven't bought the phone yet, but if i'm not going to have these two working perfectly then this is not the device for me. What do you guys think? Is this worth it? are there any satisfied fans who have the non developer edition ?

Why can't you just use Samsung Kies and restore your phone the old fashioned way?

Samsung Kies HAS to work. If it doesn't than your phone is broken.

You might try to mount your sd card in twrp and copy as many files as you can before the wipe (assuming you have anything left) (after everything else you've tried it's not likely you have any data worth saving)
