[G3 General] hoangnova:
No, root only.
[G3 General] thecubed:
Anyone want to buy me one so we can start working on an unlock? ;)

Also, whomever owns this particular phone, please post aboot, abootf, SBL1,LAF, boot, and recovery.

There will be no personally identifiable information in those partitions, and it'll help speed up the whole process of getting recovery and unlocks ported.

EDIT: also, great job [MENTION=3717338]hoangnova[/MENTION] for getting this posted to get the momentum going.

Since your device is using test-keys for recovery, you could flash anything signed with the test-keys via sideload, which is an interesting find.

Thanks!
[G3 General] hoangnova:
we doesn't have test-key. (may be [MENTION=4454918]jarari2[/MENTION] has this one)

[G3 General] thecubed:
Actually, we've been sitting on some possible avenues for bypassing SBL1's signature checking of ABOOT since the G2 and Flex, to allow us to flash a modified ABOOT that would not check signatures of boot images - however, for obvious reasons (loki still works, and downgrade attacks still work too) we have not released this or delved too deeply into a proof of concept.

We have also found some other suspicious code in the G2's bootloader that suggests an official unlock is feasible.

Having a device in-hand would definitely help though ;)

Looks like there's not much difference between this bootloader, the G Flex, the G2, and most new MSM8974 devices.

Also contains the same curious strings and check code that we were interested in. Now we just have to throw it into IDA to confirm our suspicions. Me and IDA aren't exactly best friends, so it's a bit of a slow process, but we'll get there.

Working fine on my German LG-D855.

What about OTA updates. Is it necessarry to un-root to update the phone? And if yes, how would I un-root the phone?

It wasn't necessary on my old SII but unroot could be done by flashing the original kernel.
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
I know my Optimus G Pro refused to update once it was rooted...even after I unrooted it, it still "detected root" and wouldn't update. Never bothered rooting my G2 so I don't know if they're still doing that.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
When you say "unroot" what do you mean? What exactly did you do to "unroot"? If you used an app method of unrooting chances are you left modified or additional files in /system/ which is why the phone still thought you were rooted.
[G3 General] npaladin2000:
Yeah it was the unroot method built into the root app (I forget which root app it was, it was a couple of phones ago). Then again, I also hacked out the QSlide button bar in the notification slide, so it probably noticed that too.

This one also refused to flash to stock for some reason too. Maybe I shouldn't root the G3 right off, heh. :cool:
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Using LG Pc Suite seems to work for most people in order to return to an unrooted state (without a wipe) so that it accepts OTA's. I posted a guide, its in my sig.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] If it's a potato...:
Hi!

This is my first time ever posting here and although I've found some topics relating to my issue, none have helped me out.

My problem:

I downloaded an app called Flashify.

From the app, I downloaded android 4.4 KitKat because I wanted to update my ROM.

When I booted my phone into recovery (stock <3e>), I clicked on install from SD card, installed the .zip file but I got an error...

It read:

"E:failed to verify whole-signature"

"E:signature verification failed"

"E:update fail and delete temp files"

"formatting /cache..."

Instalation aborted.

Now, if I try to set up my phone again, I'll get as far as the welcome screen and it will always say:

"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped."

Please help.

I've tryed everything and I can't get rid of that error!

Thank you :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] If it's a potato...:
Oh by the way, I forgot to give some details :)

The phone is a Huawei Ascend g330 U8825-1

Android 4.0.4 ICS

Rooted

Running stock everything (or at least it was...)

The file I tryed to install is called: "gapps-kk-20140105-signed-4.4.zip"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Did you even look at a guide on how to update your phone? Actually, I am quite sure you didn't or else you completely misunderstood everything you read. Neither is a good thing when trying to do something complicated like updating your phone unofficially.

1) You can't install a custom rom with stock recovery.

2) You didn't even download a rom - those are the Google Apps that are to be installed along with a custom rom like CyanogenMod.

3) You have to unlock the bootloader to install the custom recovery that will allow you to install updates not signed directly by Huawei.

I suggest you read through this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2198908

There are links in the later pages to a version of 4.4.2 from the Modaco forums, as well as links to the original firmware, which you will probably need to re-install if a factory reset doesn't help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] If it's a potato...:
I'm new to all of this and I thought that the app that I downloaded could do it all in one operation.

I wanted to take a chance and see would happen, thinking that any consequences that may occur, could be fixed with a factory reset.

Thanks for the link and the advice.

I'll have a read, now :)

Is it a serious problem or is there any way to fix it?

I tryed unlocking the Bootloader in DC-Unlocker but to no avail.

I bought used Xperia Z1, and today went to service menu and noticed the bootloader is already unlocked.

This is I understand should be procedure:

TA backup > Unlock bootloader > Root > Downgrade

question is can I still do TA backup now? knowing it already came with unlocked bootloader ?

P.S.

ver - 4.3 .136

root - no, (no SuperUser seen)

DRM keys -> present
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hxq88:
You can check DRM status
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
simple answer is no

You have wiped your ta partition when unlocking

however, there is no need to unlock the bootloader to root, just follow the link in my signature

also, you need root to backup the TA

And I bet your bootloader is not already unlocked, they do not come like that

dial

*#*#7378423#*#*

goto service info and configuration. Post what the last line says

I bet it says

bootloader unlock allowed: yes

That means you are able to unlock it, but it is not unlocked yet

If it was unlocked it would say

Bootloader unlocked: yes
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
Thanks for replying :) I am new to Sony phones, coming from Galaxy world !!!

here is what I get in service menu for DRM keys and Unlock bootloader (attached pics)

so this is what I understand: it is unlocked bootloader,

I can root it

I can install custom roms etc.

but incase anything goes wrong, I cannot go back and install stock rom, or downgrade from 4.3 (currently) to 4.2.2 ? and claim warranty ...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
yes, just flash XZDR kernel from here http://nut.xperia-files.com/

http://prntscr.com/3nnvhr

Just extract boot img, flash using fastboot, then enter recovery and flash the whole .zip to get wifi modules etc

Then flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire

http://download.chainfire.eu/420/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip

then enter philz recovery, goto philz options and tick "fix root on reboot"

reboot to system and fix root.

All done.

Yes you can flash stock FTF files and yes you can downgrade, but there is no point.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
You can downgrade but do take not that sometimes you lose your IMEI when skipping major downgrades for example when you're on android 4.4 and you flash a android 4.2 ftf you'll lose your IMEI. Workaround is you have to flash android 4.3 1st before android 4.2

Hey there, Sorry if this is a Repost, I could not find this Any Where after hours of searching. I happened apon the answer

Ok so if every time you hit your home screen and you are prompted to select your default home launcher then this should help fix your problem.

This is on KitKat but should work on previous versions. Firstly

Go to your | System Settings > General > Apps > All (Tabs on Top)

Find Your Home Launcher For this example I am on the LG G Flex Running KitKat 4.4.2 on Tmo

it should look like this

You will notice that the "Clear defaults" Is grayed out.

You will need to install Launcher Switcher by 개발자 (note this is to see what apps are in your systems Launcher Defaults)

Now compare your List of Apps to choose from your default home screen selector to the Launcher Switcher

You WIll See Some Apps in your Launch Switcher that is not in the app Home Selector.

Simply Remove The Apps that do not show in your home selector and the problem should be solved.

Hope this helps.
