I'm guessing that if your emmc failed you wouldn't be able to lock using this app. Boot it is an easy way to keep it locked until you need to unlock. It is a good app and it's been on my phone for months. But I usually keep it unlocked

So if I have a custom recovery I can!!!! and then you said make sure you have a stock recovery... :confused:

What I have to have, stock or custom?

When you say custom you mean, -hammerhead or clockwork- right?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can have a custom recovery and use that app to lock and unlock your bootloader, just as you can have a custom recovery and lock/unlock your bootloader with the fastboot command.. fastboot oem lock(fastboot oem unlock).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
That's why I was thinking to after flashing what I want to, I would lock the bootloader with the app so suppose one fine day my eMMC gets fried, I wouldn't be in trouble as it will be locked.

If I want to flash anything, unlock with the app, flash via recovery, reboot and then lock the bootloader again! Does sound good, right??

LOL, now I'm surely thinking too much :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Rootsu was referring to the ability to hack onto your phone not the bootunlocker app. Bootunlocker will work if you're rooted and it doesn't matter if you have stock or a custom recovery

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
then you dont need the app. after you unlock your bootloader and root it, just boot into your bootloader after and lock it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
But then, when I need to flash a nightly or any mod, I would need to unlock the bootloader via fastboot to access the custom recovery which will wipe everyhting, right? If I have the app, I can simply unlock it without wiping.

Or should I just use fastboot boot on a locked bootloader to flash any mod/nightly??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yep, that would work

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan333:
But that will swap (WIPE sorry) all your phone... that's what I don't want. (Sorry maybe I misunderstood something but later I'll read it again and carefully.)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, wont wipe everything. just that first time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Are you sure? If you oem lock and then oem unlock I think it wipes it each time.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Wooaaahh?! Thanks for the clarification... Just curious though, why does it not wipe everything when I unlock it the 2nd time? is it because the tamper flag is set to "true"? How does the bootloader determine that it's being unlocked the second time?

Thanks a lot! :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
As an fyi, I locked with bootunlocker once and then messed up by device where I had to use fastboot commands. It does wipe if you have to fastboot unlock the device again

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Ohh Alright, that's what I though... I've unlocked/relocked the bootloader few times of my N5 and each time it wiped everything but I had flashed the factory images and reset the tamper count so I thought may be that's why simms's explanation might hold true :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it does??

oddly, many report it does, while others report it doesnt :eek:

ive never ever relocked my bootloader so cant give you info from my own experience, only from others :angel:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I've only done it once, but it definitely wiped

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It should wipe every time you fastboot Unlock. It's a security feature to stop thieves bypassing lock screen security and getting your data. So unlock from fastboot wipes the device if they try.

If you've got a custom recovery even with a locked bootloader, they don't need to unlock the bootloader to get your data though as they can adb pull it all so unless you use a stock recovery, locking the bootloader again serves no purpose from a security perspective
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
BootUnlocker is a great app for any root user to have. Not only does it allow you to lock and unlock your bootloader from behind the lockscreen, it also resets the tamper flag. Since BootUnlocker came out, I keep my bootloader locked all the time and only unlock when I need to flash something in fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan333:
This is what I did and worked perfect, I got my bootloader LOCK. xD let's see if in a future I'll be able to unlock it flash and so on. xD

Thanks to everyone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All it does is block fastboot flash. You can still flash via recovery or even flashify
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan333:
I'm still waiting to read the hole guide for nexus 5, coz I'd love to understand everything but I still need some more time. xDDD

No idea what you saying xD
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It's pretty simple.

Bootloader includes "fastboot mode". Unlocking the bootloader via fastboot (connected to USB computer) wipes the phone for security reasons.

It wipes it because once unlocked, you could flash a custom recovery using fastboot. With a custom recovery, you can again connect to USB computer and use adb to pull all data off the phone to the computer. So if a thief got your phone and unlocked bootloader, flashed custom recovery, he can get all your data. So, google makes unlocking bootloader wipe phone. Theif unlocks bootloader but all your data wiped.... So it's safe.

If you have a stock, unmodified nexus 5, and you have lock screen security (pattern, pin, password) thief cannot get your data.

With bootunlocker, you can lock and unlock bootloader from within Android without wiping device. Only fastboot method of unlock wipes device. This is safe if you have lockscreen. Theif cannot access bootunlocker so to unlock bootloader, still they must use fastboot which wipes device.

Only reason to unlock bootloader though for thieves is to flash custom recovery. if you leave custom recovery installed (as per the rooting process) then thief doesn't need to unlock bootloader. They can get all your data using the recovery. So unless you revert back to stock recovery, locking the bootloader is pointless as a security measure

Locking the bootloader prevents any fastboot flashing. You cannot flash recovery etc via fastboot with locked bootloader. If you have a custom recovery installed, you can still flash rom zips via recovery.

There is also an app called flashify that uses root access and can flash image files (like fastboot flash) but from within Android. So for you, knowing your own lockscreen pin, you can flash anything you need without unlocking the bootloader as long as you remain rooted or custom recovery.

Buti still don't understand why you locked bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan333:
Because I had to do root it, and I left the bootloader unlock.

That's why I wanted to lock it without having to erase it, just for security reasons.

I'm gonna read few times what you've post.

I promise that it will be worth it, coz not now but in few days reading and so on I'll be able to understand everything.

But as everything it takes time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah please read it because as I explained in my post, locking your bootloader has not increased security if you have CWM / twrp / Philz recovery installed
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xioros:
Hi there!

I've been looking around but didn't find any:

I have an LG G2 and I'd like it to be more privacy-aware / invisible.

I know many apps gather a lot of data. That's why I don't install those...

I barely play games on my phone, don't install apps that require permissions etc..

But I'm pretty sure Google and LG slipped a ton of analytics, junk and spy-crap into the stock ROM.

Is it reasonable to look for a Privacy ROM? If so, I'd have to put my trust into some 'random'-developer... Or should I just compose my own from scratch? (If so: where can I find the most mint/unbloated packet to start with?)

(Or should I just get me a legendary Nokia 3310?)

Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Well you can make one yourself and you should start with stock just remove bloat but there are other options I use an xposed module called app settings and it allows you to decide what an app has access to (keeping in mind that you can't disable something that an app needs to work)

You should activate your BT, and make sure that it's ticked in the "Make this device discoverable to other devices", then go to Devices menu and search for new devices.

IR and BT has got nothing to do with eachother

IR is light, and the devices have to "see" eachother ( IR-eye to IR-eye), BT is radio-waves, and devices don't have to "see" eachother, the range is app 8 meters...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam3443:
A few days i purchased a used htc one, and i was loving it. However i noticed a very strange problem with the sound quality when the heahphones are pluged in. When i pick up the device and plug ine the headphones the sound is fine, however after 20-30 min of using the device and it getting just a little bit warm the sound quality from the headphones drops so drastically and everything is so distorted that i can hardly tell which song is playing let alone enjoy the music. Then i let the device cool off for 10 min, plug back in the headphones and the sound is just fine, and then after 20-30 min of using the device and it getting a little warm the problem comes back, the sound goes from great to horrilble in one second. Now i am not sure if it is a software or a hardware problem, has anyone encountered a similar problem and are there any sound mods or something like that that could help me with this problem.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offRiggs:
Hello all

First of all, I'd like to say that I've spent a lot of time searching through XDA and other websites on the internet, and so far I didn't find a solution to my problem, and that's why I'm creating this new thread.

I have a Galaxy Ace S5830B and just flashed Mardon's version of CM10.1.6 ROM in it, following every single step on his guide, using CWM 5.0.2.6.

I made sure that before flashing the new ROM I wiped the whole thing, clearing cache, dalvik cache, formatting /system and doing the factory reset.

I did not manually flash any kernel.

Everything runs smoothly and ok, just like all compliments the ROM gets on his topic, except for when I have to shut the phone down.

Once it is shut down and I'm powering it back on it gets into a boot loop that won't go past the Samsung logo. It means that the Samsung logo goes on, fades off and then it loops back to it, and the Cyanogenmod blue circle loading animation never comes.

It only works when I get back into CWM and hit "reboot system now" . Then it reboots normally.

I'd just like it to act normally, booting normally straight from a powered off state without having to go through CWM everytime I need to switch the phone on. That's because it's my father's phone, and having him getting into CWM every now and then after a battery run off is too risky, you know what I mean.

Any help will be very very much appreciated.

Thank you

Riggs
