Hi!

Thanks for be reading, I want to buy a Razr M for a while now, I had make some questions before, but know I just want to be sure about somethings before I buy them, they are going to be 2.

1º, I would like to know if the phone it's really unlocked for overseas uses, I don't live in USA but I fall for this phone the moment I see it.

2º. I can't live without CM, but in the official suport page states that need unlock bootloader and to be unlocked it need to be on stock prior to 9.20.1. Some days ago I googled it and found nothing, but know it's just about being sure.

3º, Would you still recomended this phone? -- I'm going for a use one, cause I just have ~$150. The pros I see for this phone are the Super AMOLED screen, the dual core procesor and the 1Gb of RAM. I think it's a perfect math. I don't really see any other options with better specs, but, againg, just to be sure.

Thanks you!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Yes, the phone is global capable. No, you can't unlock the BL if is has an update from 9.20.1 or after. You can root that system version, but if you get a phone with newest update you won't be able to root it. For the price that these phone are going for now, it would probably be worth the money. Just be aware that you might not be able to modify it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k3_:
How can I ask? It's that JB update or something?

Hi,

Just used chainfires rooting program for my galaxy note 2. Did everything correctly , odin and the phone showed everything done right.But after re- booting, something in phones security blocked the rooting. What can I do?
[General Questions and Answers] nikunj.baheti@gmail.com:
describe clearly

was ur boot loader unlocked? and was the phone carrier specific like u bought the phone from at&t,tmobile,verizon or sprint?
[General Questions and Answers] skoobiesnack:
root blocked

My phone is the AT&T version of the note 2. The root that I used was for this version. As for the boot loader, I'm not sure what you mean. I ran not the files through odin, just as described in the video.odin showed that everything was good. As did the phone until it re booted. Samsung is doing automatic Security updates now. And after the phone booted up, a message popped up from Samsung saying "an attempt to access a Secure area of your phone without authorization has been blocked."

My next step will be to install a custom rom. But I don't know if they will be able to block me from accomplishing this as well. This whole thing is really getting frustrating. It all started when I ran the update to 4.3 couple of weeks ago, and lost my tethering ability. This all I want. Just to get the free tethering app to work again. I had jelly bean 4.1.2. And the tethering app worked perfectly every time. Now with 4.3, doesn't work anymore. Do I need to downgrade back to 4.1.2? Or is their an easier solution? I'm wondering if it will matter what jelly bean you're using anymore if they're going to do auto security up dates that block all these type of things like custom rooms and rooting. Please tell me I'm wrong!

Thanks.

So i backed up my wizard. It had an email acct called 'pop3'.

i restored it but then i had to create a new acct and this time i named it 'gmail'.

so now on my today page, i always see: POP3: 2 unread messages but my system no longer has this account on it.

I have a feeling these two msgs are stuck in the cemail.vol file.

I searched and searched and cant figure out how to kill this file so that i can just resync to get my msgs and rebuild that file.

Any way to do this?

I rooted using the guide here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532192&nocache=1

I don't how what caused it (Which launcher do you have installed?) I had 2 launchers installed (I know that no launcher results in bootloop) but not of them were selected as default launcher

I got this error when i power off the phone

Before getting this error I saw a blue loading bar(like loading in froyo) with text :cleaning

I just formated the data & cache partition & now the phone is booting up

every user app + coolpad launcher is removed

It seems like, you need to flashed a new ROM, as you already deleted data from your coolpad. There is nothing to backed up , I guess. Please followed this thread:

It is factory restore right? I believe language was the problem and by mistake, it erase something else.

So what's your status now? Is it boot able? If not then I would flashed a ROM.

Hi friends, I've found a way to root 10.4.B.0.577 android 4.3. Please see the instructions below:

Prerequisite:

1. Download SuperSU flashable at: http://download.chainfire.eu/351/

2. Download extract the boot.img from CM10.2 (attached as well)

3. Download the install fastboot

Steps:

1. Flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577

2. Put the Tablet Z in fastboot mode (press and hold Vol+ when inserting USB cable)

3. Open a console where the fastboot.exe is located, type

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

4. Keep pressing Vol+ for a few times it boots up

5. Install SuperSU as normal

6. Power off the device

7. Flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577 again BUT EXCLUDE the SYSTEM

8. Boot up and you will have the SuperSU installed

My device is unlocked, I'm not sure if this works for locked bootloader as well. Try at your own risk! This method should work for both WIFI and LTE models.

[Files uploaded again, change 001.boot.zip to boot.zip.001 and do the same to 002 unzip]
[Xperia Tablet Z General] pangiotis24:
This method works fine but only with unlocked bootloader as if you are locked you cant flash boot.img from fastboot

Unlock/Root/Relock BL

Hello!! Great job but i have a question!! Can we unlock the bootloader, root with your guide and then relock the bootloader?? It will be rooted after relock?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] TheRealAlexei:

Sorry, but when you say that the files are attached... attached to where ? can't see them anywhere. thanks in advance.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] TheRealAlexei:
Installing SuperSU

Sorry for asking again, I'm new and I'm struggling with this. I tried to follow your steps (my tablet is a SGP312). I followed the steps, but I'm not sure if the ZIP file with SuperSU has to be downloaded to the tablet or what, as in step 5 you say "install SuperSU as normal". Does that mean through play store ? Directly from the file ? If it´s from the file, how ?

When I tried this in my tablet, after flashing boot.img and rebooting, I got a loader screen where I selected add super used, rebooted, and then... the tablet didn´t start again. It gets stuck in the initial booting screen with the color lights passing.

Also, I noticed that after the fastboot reboot, the message that I got in the loader mentioned SGP311, not 312. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Vaggelis AsKyE:
you have to flash the SuperSU .zip file via CWM. Do you know how to enter CWM and flash a .zip file?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] TheRealAlexei:
I think through the fastboot reboot, pressing the vol up. When I tried it before I entered in some kind of boot menu, with one option been "install from zip" or something like that but I didn´t try it.

I tried entering in it again and clicked on factory reset hoping that would do a cfresh install, but I still have the same issue: when powering up the tablet it keeps displaying the intro (the color lines) endlessly :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Vaggelis AsKyE:
you have to follow the guide!! at the step u flash boot.img and restart the tablet you must press rapidly many times to enter the boot menu. There u chose install from zip and find the file SuperSU.zip (i recommend u to use external sd card to save the SuperSU.zip file). When it finish u go back and find the ''Advanced'' option on the boot menu, u press it and then press power off. Then flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577 again BUT EXCLUDE the SYSTEM!!!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] TheRealAlexei:
Thanks for your help. Actually I managed to do it pretty much as you said) except the advanced -> power off, which I didn´t know: I assumed that was the way to access the boot menu, and to install Super SU, so I copied the ZIP into my external SDCard, did all the steps, and my tablet came back to life... with SuperSU installed ;)

Lucky me I did a full backup following another guide, because in my desperation to bring my tablet back to life I did a full wipe out / factory reset (which btw didn´t solve anything).

Thanks for your replies and apologies if my questions seemed dumb... It's been many years since I "almost" break a device and lost all the data :D
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Vaggelis AsKyE:
Happy you made it!!! :good:

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

I have one question!! Does your tablet lag a little when it is closing? The bar loading at me and for 10 sec tablet freezes and then it close... do u experience the same issue??
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Xyam:
Sorry just realized that XDA did not allow .001 and .002. Please download them again, change 001.boot.zip to boot.zip.001 and do the same to 002 to unzip. Alternatively you can download CM10.2 and extract the boot.img from the zip.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Xyam:
did you mean shutting down or what? if you are mentioning shutting down, i have the same issue, but not related to rooting. just wait for around 20~30 seconds after you see "shutting down"
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Xyam:
i was thinking the same idea. but will only do that if i have a hardware issue and need repair at sony repair center :D

ok so

i have SGP311 with 10.4.B.0.577

i must have custom recovery to instal UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip or i can instal it in stock ?

if u flash boot.img with flashtool u will get custom recovery (CWM) installed!!!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] strung3:
Hello,

I have ever update my XTZ on 4.3 JB. Do you think it is necessary to "flashboot" again the new firmware (Step 7) after install of Supersu.zip ?

If yes, can you explain why ?

Thanks for your help
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Vaggelis AsKyE:
Hello,

At this guide u flash boot.img from CM10.2 ROM (Step 3). At the end you have to reflash the new firmware so the boot, kernel etc change, because if u stay with CM10.2 u will get bootloops!!

Question: if you unlock the bootloader with Sony tools do you loose the music download info and the Bravia engine ????????
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Vaggelis AsKyE:
I unlocked mine, using fastboot which can relock it (keeps the keys), and music info download works fine and i think Bravia Engine too (i don't see any difference to my photos in album)!! BUT when i move my music to tablet's internal memory music info download don't work... When i move them to my external sd card music info download works like a charm!! Also i tried with locked bootloader and the same thing happens.... So unlocking bootloader don't affect the music download info and the Bravia engine!!!

Sorry if I ask stupid questions but I just got the tablet and I'm quite new in this.

I've already updated my device with Sony PC companion, then I unlocked the bootloader.

1)Do I have to do again the step 1?

2)How should I flash the stock ROM? with flashtool?

3)Where do I get the original stock ROM for the Italian version to flash with flashtool?

I've already tried to flash with fastboot boot.img extracted from cm10.2 Pollux_Windy ROM but the tablet did not start anymore, not even in recovery pressing many time volum up, what do I have to do to enter in recovery mode?

[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
pc-companion won't help you here. You have to use flashtool. And tick what you want to exclude from flashing - kernel, system, other parts of firmware.

If it is not clear enough please read some manuals.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Miro24h:
thx now i understand found an exclude menu in flash mode when i select system it removes system.sin. what does it do? i think i keeps ur device app and doesnt let the system to reset the factory settings?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Vaggelis AsKyE:
If u exclude system then all of ur apps will not be deleted (including SuperSU app) if u don't exclude it all of ur apps will be deleted and you will have the default apps of the stock ROM (without SuperSU)....
