I know that :p

But I have unlocked my phone to root with the old method and i want to lock it back :(

[RAZR i Android Development] grampsharry:
this is a method by HSD Pilot

Relock your Bootloader

You'll need an complete JB (4.1.2) Fastboot File of your Region for doing that!

Copy the content of the [XT890] Re-lock Bootloader.zip into the extracted Fastboot File Folder

So will I need to unlock bootloader to install a recovery?
[RAZR i Android Development] laurorual:
If i lock my bootloader again, it will wipe my internal storage, right? Will I loose my current root? And more important, will that message saying that bootloader was unlocked be gone? If not, i have no reasons to re-lock it :p

[RAZR i Android Development] jeppo:
Amazing!!! It works without unlocking the bootloader! :D

However, I had to replace the su binary with an older one (provided in the other rooting thread) and I'm currently using Superuser instead of SuperSu.

Your su was correctly copied to xbin but it was not working :(

Now I have removed unwanted system apps and installed Greenify without loosing the warranty. Win win!!! :cool:

My bootloader is still locked, can I use this and then install a custom recovery or unlocking is still needed for a custom recovery?

Thanks
[RAZR i Android Development] FelipeBHZ:
Unfortunately to install custom recovery and custom ROMs is still necessary to unlock bootloader. But with ROOT and a little bit of time on Google, you can do very nice things with your Razr i (XT890) ! :)

Search for Xposed and GravityBox.
[RAZR i Android Development] ciberbeb:
Thanks for your answer.

I'm used to perform a nandroid backup before any modification, plus all the other benefits that come with a custom recovery... But I'll probably give it a try.
[RAZR i Android Development] raf.lozano:
Confirmed working on Brazilian rom. Much thanks

[RAZR i Android Development] OrangeFlash81:
Just to check, there's no wipe involved in this?

EDIT: No wipe, seems to work! Yay!

---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

Actually, just testing this out, when I go into SuperSU it says that I need to update the SU binary. When I click 'Normal' (I don't have a cusotm recovery), it says almost instantly that the update failed. Any fix for this?

EDIT AGAIN: Wooooops, just seen that line in the OP that says I need 1.65. Fail moment!
[RAZR i Android Development] FelipeBHZ:
Just DO NOT update SuperSU, you only have to keep it installed. It will be used to set permissions on apps and files. :D

Root working fine here! :D Stock ROM no BL Unlocked.
[RAZR i Android Development] dagoban:
SuperSU got updated, its fixed now :)

Guys i'm feeling bad for this, but i can't manage to do it via terminal emulator on my phone (I don't have PC access until weekend)

There's someone who can explain me step by step? D:
[RAZR i Android Development] jcase:
OP has a step by step, it tells you to execute it from adb for a reason
[RAZR i Android Development] laurorual:
basically, the adb commands do the following:

- put su, rootme.sh and TwerkMyMoto.jar files into /data/local/tmp/

- change /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh permissions to 755

- run /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh script

- reboot

- run script again

i think if you can manage to do this in your phone, you can make it

but as jcase said, it tells you to execute it from adb for a reason
[RAZR i Android Development] jcase:
I'll wrap this into an one click app later if anyone wants to test drive it for me. It is possible from an app, just not any app (ie not a terminal emulator without some modification).
[RAZR i Android Development] laurorual:
If i manage to unroot my device i can test it for you. My bootloader is unlocked but i think it will do the same trick in locked bootloaders as well :p
[RAZR i Android Development] jeppo:
I confirm that SuperSu is now working fine with this rooting method and bootloader locked.

Good job man!! Thanks and kudos for the work.

By the way, sorry for the "noob" questions bellow:

1 - Just in case, this method can be used in Razr i with ICS 4.0.4?

2 - And, going a litle further, is there any chance this method works in another platform/device type? (of course, using right su binary file)

TIA

[RAZR i Android Development] gwapenut:
Worked brilliantly using USB-pc connection, thank you!

Now, if I delete unwanted utilities etc from my factory Motorola software, as some people are suggesting once root access is gained, what happens if I do a "factory reset"? Will it just reset all my personal apps and data, or will it also restore all the motorola-installed stuff that I deleted as root?

Basically, I want to know if I can get it back to "how it was" without any other form of backup.
[RAZR i Android Development] ICuaI:
deleted apps can't be restored after a factory reset. deleted is deleted ;)
[RAZR i Android Development] gwapenut:
Thanks, wasn't sure whether the factory reset restored the OS from a pre-built image, or if it just got rid of customised user data. From what you say, it just gets rid of changes where it expects data to have been changed.
[RAZR i Android Development] your_login:
coould anyone tell me step by step what to do with the file in the first post to root my razr i im a bit of a noob...?
[RAZR i Android Development] 5m00v3:
1. Install RAZRi PC-drivers.

2. Enable USB-Debugging in Developer-Options on Handy.

3. Download ADB files (ADB is a comandline-tool like cmd.exe, google how to use)

4. Extract "TwerkMyMoto.zip" (rootme.sh + SU + TwerkMyMoto.jar MUST be in same folder with ADB.exe)

5. Connect your RAZRi to PC and run ADB.exe. Check if ADB shows Handy as "device".

6. Follow the Steps "To use". (You have to copy and paste each line in the ADB-Window and execute it)

To use:

adb push su /data/local/tmp/

adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/

adb push TwerkMyMoto.jar /data/local/tmp/

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh

adb shell /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh

adb reboot

adb shell /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddsLV:
Hello.

So my N7100 doesn't connect to mobile network. No voice calls, text messages or mobile internet. Wifi works just fine, although signal seems to be a little weaker (maybe just my imagination).

What I did and how it happened:

I got sick of Samsung being assholes and not pushing out software updates, so I decided to flash some custom ROM. I choose CM, because they had that "one click installation", so I didn't have to do a lot of work. After a week of using CM I decided that it sucks and wanted back my original android with all gimmicks from Samsung, mostly because battery life with CM was terrible, not even one day. And that's when everything went downhill. I downloaded and installed firmware for Baltic region, because I live here and I bought my phone here. From that moment my phone stopped being phone and evolved into wifi only tablet. After being very pissed and trying to flash couple different roms I gave up. Found my phones original box user manual and other papers. It turns out that my phone is made for Hungary region. So shop where I bought it must have imported wrong models (most likely cheaper for bigger profit). Flashing original for Hungary made firmware doesn't resolve this issue.

Guys, I really need help. I just want to return to stock - original firmware and reset flashing counter. Please help, and if possible in layman's terms...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kito2:
Press *#06# and see if your EMEI is fine... If it says something like 000000000049 it seems to be bugged and you can try this solution:

I saw from another post. Im going to try this too since Im having the same problem as you.

Find your ROM here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-N7100&pcode=CHE#firmware I selected Chile Entel, but you can choose your country and company, it is the original ROM and it should fix our problem, Im downloading the ROM by now.

To use Odin, just put your phone in download mode (vol up/down + home + power) and then plug in to your PC, open Odin and at "PDA" select your ROM, then put start and just wait a few minutes and it should be working again...

After this, you should make a back up of your EFS file using a root explorer and then flash with any ROM you want (Im trying Ditto 3, it seems to be a cool jelly bean) and after this flash, you should put your new EFS file... Just the problem that Im facing is how to put this backup since the EFS is a folder being readed all the time, so there should be a program to do this, but I cant figure this out yet.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddsLV:
My phone doesn't have any IMEI any more. "null/null" is value given by my phone after requesting IMEI. I already flashed original ROM, problem is still here.

About /efs/ I could backup it with "File Manager"app from google play, but I can't delete it, because it is in read only.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kito2:
Somehow you will have to access to edit it and you will be able to solve that problem... Otherwise go to technical service.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddsLV:
In order to delete /efs/ you have to be rooted, when you flash factory rom you loose root privileges.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kito2:
After flash factory rom is easy to make root again hehe.. Anyways keep reading and maybe you will find another solution, you can't be the only one who had that problem... Good luck my friend.

Here is something I've done just FYI. I am running Beans build 2 and I've been tinkering with different things. Once I've seen that everything has been running good and I have everything flashed that I like then I made a nandroid and then I flashed it on my stock ROM slot. Once I did that I still noticed that I only had 4gb left on internal, I went into ROM slot 1 and deleted, not just wipe. Same on ROM slot 2. I now show 14gb of internal memory thru my standard settings. Everything is still running fine as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xanza89:
This is normal. It has to do with the way the partitions are created. First time I seen it I was confused as well. If you boot to Stock your storage space will read normal or as someone else said use a file manager to see how much space is left. Mine currently says I have 2gb of free space left when I have more like 20.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnia38:
Normally this wouldn't bother me... But I am getting out of space errors. Yesterday I couldn't even stream Google music until I deleted the cached data.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danthepunman:
I took a capture of my storage and gave some details. The key is to start with a large slot. Think of it as your sandbox. The larger you make it the more you can put into it. If I remember right I did 4 gigs for data. The slot acts like a mini internal drive. It includes the custom rom the apps and data. You could save space by moving apps and downloads to the ext sd card or other parts of the internal drive. The apps would need to be done by normal means in settings so you don't loose functionality. Downloads and other files by way of root explorer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnia38:
Thanks danthepunman.

I bumped my data storage up to 4gb....however, is there a way to get it even higher? I stream google music all day long at work, so my cache is a bit of a space hog. Plus I like to have my phone stocked full of all kinds of apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danthepunman:
In regards to the size I think that is set in stone. It's larger than what we had in on the Bionic. I would defer that to Hashcode's expertise.

With Google music it says it only uses space as it is available. In the app you can clear the cache or uncheck the cache. If you want to personally delete the files they can be found through root explorer:

/datamedia user 0 comgoogleandroidmusic files music

each file is 6 to 15 mbs. there can delete the select ones you want. If someone was good at scripts you can probably funnel that folder to your SD card.
