"2)reset your "lock status flag"

to LOCK your bootloader,enter the following:

adb devices

adb shell

su (if needed to get a # prompt)

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796

(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)

I can confirm that the UNLOCK works on a Verizon HTC One M8 device. I just did this to mine after having used "fastboot oem lock", which changes the state to "RELOCKED", not "LOCKED", and I wanted things back the way the were before having run the fastboot command.

Was looking for this!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Jowivk2804:
Hi! Following this guide got me stuck. Using the fastboot oem command on my European HTC M8 got me stuck in a bootloader loop: The bootloader shows "Tampered", "Relocked", "Security Warning" and I cannot get back to the recovery. When I enter the recovery command, I come back to the same bootloader screen with the "Security Warning".

What can I do now? In this mode, I cannot even use ADB, unly fastboot. ist there any fastboot command to get me out of this?

Accidently hit the update on my note 3 jellybean and before i could stop the procedure rebooted and now i have the horrible kitkat.

How do i go back to jellybean?

I miss vpn and tethering without my 3gb limit.

I have tried all options and once tethering tmobile deducts usage.

Can ihave completely stock note 3 like i did when i bought it?

There has to be a method to go back. I mean if your phone is rooted you can just throw jellybean over a bootloader of kitkat right?

Samsung Locked the KitKat bootloader on the Note 3(except the N900W8) so once updated there's no going back to jelly bean even if rooted.

I was trying to unlock the SIM chip to my T Mobile MDA Vario but i couldn't

i have already downloaded the SIM unlocker Lokiwiz02b but the phone is still locked to T mobile .I'm going on a trip outside the U.S and i need the phone

I have tried almost all the ROM updates posted on this site but it seems useless, I read that Lokiwiz02 is not compatible with some ROM updates, is that true? or just simply i need to get the right version of the unloker program

help please
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
You're probably using a 2.x rom so you cannot use lokiwiz 0.2b to SIM unlock it. You must use lokiwiz 0.3a instead

Goggle glasses are going to receive kitkat, could this help maguro to receive 3.4 kernel?

They have the same chipset, or not?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HONG86:
I wish 3.4 kernel too!

Same omap! Perhaps , I think the correlation .
[HTC Wildfire S] surround hacker:
does anyone know what could cause the fact that i cant flash any kernels or roms onto my wildfire s. It is rooted and unlocked flashed with clockwork recovery. I just need something to speed it up a bit its too laggy.
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
Could you be a bit elaborate.......like what ROM you tried to install and exactly how you tried to install it. It would help.
[HTC Wildfire S] surround hacker:
i used clockwork and rom manager to try to install, as well as made sure all the caches were cleaned

dust kernel 8.8 to 9.0

coolglass v.1

superior sence v4 deodex
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
you may try to install it through the recovery. Download the zip file, go into recovery, wipe data & cache, install the zip and reboot. See if it works.

By the way your device is not CDMA right because the rom you tried will not work there. Also by not installing what exactly happens?
[HTC Wildfire S] surround hacker:
i used both and i dont believe its cdma it is a sim phone unlocked and im useing it on a another provider.( it was on bell but im useing on telus up here in canada)
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
So by not installing what happens? When you install it it shows some error? Or it installs but would not boot? Also if it shows some error in recovery please mention it. And another way is to try another recovery like TWRP.
[HTC Wildfire S] surround hacker:
it installs as far as i can tell and when the device reboots it stays on the htc boot screen and says nothing more then htc. No errors pop up no bricking nothing
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
It is bricking but just soft bricking. At first it should take some time during first boot but not more than 5-10 minutes. Are you sure you gave that time. and another alternative would to try with a different ROM. For gingerbread you may try sense 3.5 or any other rom.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
I've wiped everything in TWRP (factory reset; advanced -> dalvik/system/data/internal/cache; format data), then pushed my backup to /sdcard/. When I go into Restore to reload the backup, it just shows a big gray square with no items. I've tried pushing it to several different locations and restarting TWRP. I finally landed on having the backup folder (named something like 8780a9ypwt98h34) inside the folder called 'TWRP' that TWRP creates upon being booted the first time.

But nothing shows up in the Restore. It's just a big blank square box, where you can tell there should be navigation items like folders and files listed.

Why isn't the backup showing? What do I have to do?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
EDIT: just realized TWRP has a file manager. Where do I put the backup (it's a folder named something like 9807a9h9f83fh398). Also, is there a reason that instead Restore listing items like a file manager (like what you see in TWRP when you hit install, or when you go through the TWRP file manager), all it shows is a gray box with no text in/around it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chef_christoph:
Hi, I've been using PhilZ recovery for a while but before that I used TWRP and might be able to help if you still need it.

If I'm remembering correctly, TWRP looks for backups in one location and doesn't allow you to navigate to a different directory so it's important to get your backup in just the right spot for it to be recognized.

When I was trying to do exactly what you are, what I found that worked for me was to start by doing a backup before trying to copy the files I actually wanted to restore. Doing that backup to start with allows TWRP to create all the directories it needs to for its static backup location. Once that was done it was easy then to just copy my backup to the proper location.

The directories should be something like this: TWRP > BACKUPS > stringoflettersandnumbers > nameofbackup

Hope this helps.

[General Questions and Answers] christianstepnow:
Hi everyone!

I am a newbie in this forum, but I really hope that you can help me.

I have the galaxy s4 gt-i9505. About 3 weeks ago I updated it via OTA to Kitkat 4.4.2, since than I have a lot of problems with my device!

Randomly the sounds stops working. No ringtone, no system sounds, no keypad tone not even the lock sceen tone. After a restart, everything works just fine again. But I have to restart the phone several times a day! After a while I also found out that if the sounds don't work, the phone also doesn't play videos, youtube or the music player. Again after a restart, everything works fine.

I was running the stock firmware from samsung I9505XXUFNC4, I have tried several factory resets, I have wiped the cache, I have re installed the software via odin. Nothing helped solving this problem.

I have now rooted the phone, put philz touch recovery on it, wiped the data, wiped the cache particion, wiped dalvik cache and formatted the system and installed the Omega_v28_XXUFNC9 rom. Everything is working fine, but still the same problem with the sound.

I really don't know what to do any more and would very much appreciate if someone could help me!!!

Please also tell me if you have heard about someone else having the same problem.

Many thanks in advance,

Certain ROMs or versions of CWM have a problem charging the phone while off (happened to me, phone boots up but doesn't have enough energy to stay on). Just leave it connected to the charger and with something pressed on to the power button; after a while it will have enough energy and you can reflash a stock or proper kernel.

I literally just tried to break the charging flap off by twisting it and pulling on it at best buy and they wouldn't break. I have to admit, it feels quite sturdy. How rough are you guys actually being with this? I am having a hard time thinking they just "randomly" break off with everyday use

This is a danger signal for Verizon Edge users. The Edge paperwork they sent with my S5 demands that I send them my old S3 in trade, and they list rules and restrictions including things like the S3 cannot have broken or missing port covers or they'll reject the phone, KEEP it, and charge me $200 for the trouble. How you get to reject, keep, and bill for the same device is something only a Verizon can do.

Now, the S3 doesn't have port covers or anything like that so it's not an issue. But the S5 does, so when mine snaps off ( and I know it will), I will be stuck unable to ever trade this S5 for something else.

Really prompting me to think about sending the S5 back if Verizon is going to be very stern about this. Honestly this S3 is mine and not theirs. I paid for it. I'd intended to sell it to Gazelle, not send it back to Verizon.
