Simple answer no and no. You only need stock recovery if you want to take an ota

Would relocking bootloader provide more security?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] txgoathead:
This is not an emergency...I am in no hurry, but I would appreciate some helpful advice.

I have a Sprint HTC One...I have S-Off which I gained by using revone. (I unnecessarily locked the bootloader after gaining S-Off.) In the months since I did this, I replaced twrp with the stock recovery to take at least two updates. (Stupid, I know!)

I am now unrooted and cannot boot into recovery.

What is the best way to regain root without htcdev?

I have tried this guide...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475902...but I cannot get su permission in adb shell.

Bootloader screen:

***LOCKED***

M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-SPCS_001

HBOOT-1.55.0000

RADIO-1.00.1108

OS-3.05.651.6

Thank you for your help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
You must unlock your boot loader, then flash the recovery you want. To unlock, since you are s-off, you can do that without the htcdev approach. Just read through the q&a faq thread. The instructions are all in there.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
BTW since you are S-OFF there is no need to re-lock your bootloader to take the OTA/update your firmware

Unlock Bootloader

Install Custom Recovery (I use the - Fastboot Method)

Download SU files (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip)

Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip to the phone using USB cable, then boot into custom recovery (reboot phone while holding the down volume button). Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip

couldn't he fastboot flash recovery and flash stock rooted like this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2612576 I presume you can access bootloader? its been a bit since I have seen stock, im curious?

edit.. don't remember now what the bootloader screen is like before unlocked? duh?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] txgoathead:
I thought this might work also, but flashing the recovery through fastboot always reboots to the red arrow.

I think I am going to have to go ahead and do the htcdev method...doesn't seem to be any reason not to now.

Thanks for all your help!

Hmm, so the actually flash of the recovery is successful, it just doesn't stick on your phone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katamari201:
New update for T-mobile LG G2. I am leery of a new update though, since you know how these things can go. Brick your phone of screw up the phone royally and I have to factory reset or roll-back somehow. A few peeps at AndroidCentral say it causes battery drain, but the jury is still out sincei ts only a few days old. What has been your experience, and are there any worthwhile improvements? I want them to fix the slow camera performance in low light, as well as the camera screwing up my lockscreen or not loading sometimes when I push the volume down button. Also would want speed improvements in the main UI, as it has never been the speediest. If its minor and no real improvements, I'd rather wait for KitKat and do a fresh factory reset.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
Generally i would prob just do it unless you have custom recovery on there or not stock....you should be able to see what the update contains .... For example sprints update was a Google security patch and a radio fix ( call quality)

Say I unlocked the phone and am using it on AT&T. If I update via OTA, will the phone relock itself?

No. Unlocking is a permanent process and has nothing to do with firmware upgrades.
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Hay!

I have been using s2ext and Link2sd for a while now and I'm tired of having problems like:

- mount error

- permission denied

- phone storage space is getting low

- phone storage not changing (even after uninstalling several large apps)

- wondering if the links worked or if storage is getting used by duplicate files

- or just simply not having any idea what these apps are doing.

I saw in a few posts people posting that they linked the apk and dalvik cache themselves and I have been searching xda, androidforums and google without finding how. Is there a guide or a link somehow that explains:

1. How to determine if a file is a symlink or a regular file in terminal emulator.

2. The folders in which I should create the aliases and the folders to which the latter should point.

** I know that when I will update my apps, the links won't be valid and I will have to relink, I can live with that.

Hi,

But themed like... what?

It's not a full rom but take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47289177, it's the sms/mms app themed.

For a rom, take a look in the dev sections, maybe there is one or two, don't remember exactly.

Happened to me once before also..I spoke to Moto Care about that, they didn't had any real answer..it's probably a software bug that causes battery not to calibrate as it should..

Did you update to KK? It's common known bug after updating an other phones such moto x.

Do this only once:

Download StabilityTest (ROOT optional) turn one wifi, gps, bluetooth. Run the program and start the "Classic stability test" leave the phone till it turns off. Then "power"+"vol-" run recovery mode and leave the phone it will turn of after a wail-make this step f times till it won't work and only the led will blink. You have now maximal drained out battery. Now plug the charger and make it 100% then start the hone enjoy-I hope it will help you.

Odd, the same thing happened to me. Just after I unplugged my phone from my pc. Strange...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spannerz:
Happened to me: I charged the phone to 85% using a laptop USB then took the phone out to use it, when I came back 30 minutes later I plugged back in to continue charging it dropped to 1% instantly then powered itself off as battery was nearly flat. Reboot phone then plug into laptop and starts charging from 1%.

10 mins later it's about 8% charged and I take phone to car, charge it using a Motorola car USB charger and the phone battery goes back to about 85% instantly.

It seemed to me that using a PC usb socket to charge the phone caused the issues rather than using a 'proper' charger. Maybe others can confirm whether they've had the issue only if using a PC usb port to charge it up?

Mine is UK tesco 8GB Moto G running Kitkat official firmware, not rooted, bl locked and not been flashed other than official software.

This has never occurred before and the unit has worked perfectly.

Hello All,

I spend two days trying to connect my note 2 with my laptop via usb debugging mode. Unfortunately i always get information (after execute 'adb kill-server, adb start-server, adb devices') that my phone is unauthorized.

I read few articles with info that usb 3.0 doesn't work with usb debugging mode and more info that it is working fine... Now don't know where is the truth.

My laptop has only 3x USB 3.0. I connected my note 2 to my gf's laptop via USB 2.0 and everything was fine. Then I connected her galaxy s mini to my laptop via usb 3.0 and debugging mode and everything was fine too... I get rsa fingerprint popup which i didn't get on my note 2 via usb 3.0.

I have windows 7 x64, all newest drivers (samsung usb driver, adb, sdk etc) and on my note 2 i have Adnroid 4.3 JB.

Does anyone had this issue?

Regards.

I bought one over the Christmas break, and turned out it was fake, so I sent it back and they sent me a real one. Before returning the fake one I took some comparison pictures side-by-side, and can tell you exactly what it should look like. The real one is very sturdy compared to the fake one.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theManchur:
when you squeeze the body of the device, the plastic gives a little bit. When you squeeze the real one, it does not give. This is probably because it actually has the proper components within, whereas the fake one seems to be missing something inside.

In this one the real one is one the left, and you may notice how to corners on the device are more defined than the fake one, regarding the outside of it and the HDMI female plug.

On top is the real one, and it looks like it has a more yellowish hue to the white compared to the fake one.

View attachment 2539238

Here the real one is on the bottom, and you can tell the MHL label is a little lighter of a shade of grey. The metal male plug is also different, with the real one having a little smoother look to it and where the metal interlocks in the middle it seems to be in a different style in the fake one.

On the right is the fake one. It looks like the connector's edges are more defined and has two ridges along the bottom, whereas the fake one it seems there are none.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
If you mean by choke the cable no it was not included. The power source is included in the Mhl adapter

NOTE 3 - Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b00mb00mchuck:
RF choke is unnecessary on HDMI... Digital signal consists of 1's and 0's so any RF noise would not be interpreted by the receiving device.

The introduction of digital signal was to solve the problem of line noise and interference... RF choking digital signal lines plays on old school notions that it helps somehow and cable/wire companies pray on that to make extra money from "high quality" lines that are completely redundant.

Digital (HDMI) is pass or fail... It works or it doesn't work... It doesn't get better with a filter.

Chokes have their place on power cords (stop RF from leaking out) and antenna wires (choke RF before reciever) and analog audio (eliminate RF line noise) but digital cords don't see the same benefits.

I could go on and on about the ripoff of expensive "high speed" HDMI cables but that's a whole nuther subject.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sardonik:
I think the question was regarding the ferrule around the cable in your pics.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :

[Motorola Droid 4] berndblb:
Yep, the Droid Utility is a great tool for this phone.

If you're new to this, maybe a little explanation may be helpful..

the Droid Utility is a collection of scripts or tools you can run one after the other. For your purpose, rooting the Droid4, you only would use option 3 - and if you want to run a custom rom on this tool, also option 4. (Google "How to Safestrap" for more info on that)

1) and 2) are if you want to flash your phone back to stock.

So download the utility, extract it.

Make sure you have the drivers installed (if you can connect to your phone as a mass storage device you should be ok)

Click on the run.bat file, choose option 3 and follow the onscreen instructions.

So I guess if I use option #1(I think) on droid utility, that should do what I need? Or is there something else I need to do as well since I took the recent ota?

No- just choose option #1. The last OTA doesn't make a difference one way or the other...
