[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
i know google translate is the best, and do not worry your english has been great, and i really do appreciate all the help, will be attempting to unlock the bootloader and flash in about 4 hours

then i will update process thanks

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

yes it is necessary to flash the recovery to then install "CrowLock_RC3.zip" to unlock the bootloader in order to get into fastboot mode with no restrictions if i am not mistaken.
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
That is actually the boot loader.

Thats where you want to issue those commands
[Asus Padfone X and S] windswoods:
I think before I unlock Sim card in the study of the flash into the Padfone S Rom, I mistakenly thought this way is not necessarily the cause of first flash recovery ...

backup modem

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem.img

then you will find your modem.img in your phone, sometimes you need rename the file to COPY through PC
[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
i already saved the 3 modem files , i used a root browser app and saved on my phone in another folder as well as my computer

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

so i don't need to use crowlock to unlock the bootloader to work through the adb?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
If it is through adb and not fastboot, you dont need to.

If it is through fastboot (bootloader) then you need to do that, you must use custom recovery such as twrp or cwm to use crowlock.
[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
You are the man

I finally got it to work....this is amazing imei is 0 now and is completely unlocked i livein the dominican republic and use Claro, even 4g works!!!!!

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE ESPECIALLY WINDSWOODS

Now there is no limit, and attach a link

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwZ5B9Qa5muaWUNoclhoNVVEWWc&authuser=0

Be careful, after using your IMEI will become 0

Has tested two phones IMEI becomes 0 can talk to each other in the same family carriers

But still hope someone can solve the problem becomes 0 IMEI
[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
Thank you

On a new issue.....any one able to boost the volume, on speakes (phone and tablet) ive edited the mixer files in the root system,but no success

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

**NOTE**

CAN ONLY FLASH THEMODEMS IN FASTBOOT MODE, adb flashesbutdoes not alter anything

So flash crowlock with a custom recovery (twrp does work) then use fastboot for the modem files
[Asus Padfone X and S] WBR_ZHE:
tnx,can you explayn how to backup of modem images?
[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
download es file explorer, enable the root access, then copy and paste those modem files to another folder(i made one named stock modems). then proceed with flashing
[Asus Padfone X and S] denobor:
Any good news about unlock?
[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
yes everything is still working perfectly no issues whatsoever

Great work by windwoods
[Asus Padfone X and S] denobor:
But imei becomes 0? Or this problem is solved? If yes please give detailed instruction.
[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
Honestly it doesnt affect my service, the imei number is not really used where i live, so i have no need for it at all, i hope you backed up your modem files in case you want it.

I have had absolutely no issues at all after doing this. Which is great because i got the set for $200 locked to att on ebay, unlocked ones were going for around $350.
[Asus Padfone X and S] denobor:
In my country we have to register IMEI code and it is impossible with zero imei. So, phone will not work without registration. May be you know way to keep imei and make unlock?
[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
Noidea idea
[Asus Padfone X and S] pazhope:
I was playing with this and by accident erase my modem bkps, my carrier in Mexico doesn't allot imei 0, so now I have a nice brick, can someone point me to a fix or maybe some modem bkps? It may be a lot to ask, don't really know
[Asus Padfone X and S] J-A-J-O:
Hi

Well, flashed modifited modems but unfortunetly my network also don't allow to use phone without IMEI. Tried fo flash back backed up modem, modem.img went fine, but modemst1 and modemst2 failed. Target reported max download size lower than those files. Each modemst filesize is 65536kb.

Does anybody have a clue?

[Asus Padfone X and S] Twotems:
I filled the form on the AT&T website and called them after 48 hours explaining it was a discontinued product. I received my unlock code 48 hours later. Funny thing is that the phone was already unlocked and it was my sim that was faulty.

[Asus Padfone X and S] colla.paolo:
Hello guys, i have the same request. I have buy an Asus Padfone X AT&T and i need to unlock for other Carriers.

The seller tell me the Padfone is out of contract, then i need code or some guide to unlock this device. I have read backward message, but i didnt understand so much what i need to do.

1. root device (which program for do it? i have seen program called framaroot maybe can help me)

2. bootloader (i need to download program for bootloader??)

3. copy in other folder the modem files (can i backup files for put another time my imei?)

4. reset

Or if anyone can help me for unlock with AT&T Account, it can be really appreciable thanks!!!

(if someone know there is a Custom Rom i think is the best)

p.s. update the first post with a little guide pls!

Thanks Regards.
[Asus Padfone X and S] RICKDS:
hi there, in the web site from AT&T they unlock for free, the secret it's you register like client without mobility AT&T service, there your going to enter IMEI number and they send an email to comfirn and two days or one before they give you unlock code, i know this way don't work months ago if you try before, but seem's they update the IMEI database and now it's working and it's free
[Asus Padfone X and S] leo025:
Help me please, guys I need a guide!! I try Non-AT&T Mobility customer and fill all data but they send me to my email: "Unfortunately, your unlock request was denied because: You haven't completed all the payments for your device according to your AT&T Next service agreement." The seller told me the phone haven't a contract.

Another method to unlock? Any ideas?:(

btw im in jamaica and im using a digicel carrier that uses the a GSM 1800Mhz band and 850 for WCDMA
[Asus Padfone X and S] l0k0 r4c1ng:
Most likely it isn't allowed in your country(no imei #) I personally can not use my phone anymore since i unlocked around 5 devices with this method and all of them were on the same network. It was working great until i unlocked the other devices and my carrier caught on to it and blocked the use of imei 0 phones. All to make a few bucks lol, lesson learned I saw easy money and it cost me a phone and a few friends since they bought the device on my recommendation.

If you have backed up your old modem files I would flash them back the same way you did these, then contact AT&T as mentioned above and say product is discontinued, they will unlock for free.

Unfortunately I am screwed since my SD card crashed and I lost my modem files, hopefully you have better luck.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dtgo:
Well the problem. With that is I only backed up one of mymodem files , not the rest of the modems , ie. Modem1,modem2

So when I tried to flash it back it wasn't enuf , sigh
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chroma16:
Hi everyone, i want to rescue this phone (in the picture) here is the information i have about it

Model: C8660CA, also known as PCD C8660, Enspire C8660, and ADR21 (adr21ca a variant for other contry)

OS: android 2.3.6

CPU: 800MHZ Qualcomm Snapdragon

Fastboot device ID: MSM7627A

ram: 170 MB ?

storage: about 256 MB

The problem:

my phone only boots in fastboot mode, showing the operator logo, i cant get to recovery or other modes. i have tried to flash custom recovery images (for similar phones based on the fastboot id) , also i can't find an original or custom rom for this phone, manufacturer or carrier support.

what can i do?

(circle in pic is the operator logo)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I would recommend looking if you can find factory images for the other branded devices that your model is under and then try flashing those. Additionally, you can try to keep looking for custom recovery images for the alternate brands for your devices and then flash a custom ROM from there. While it's usually not recommended to flash anything not specifically for your device, what was the result of the other custom recoveries you flashed? Did fastboot generate an error when attempting to flash them, did you flash them successfully and they wouldn't boot when you tried to enter recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chroma16:
well I didn't find any factory or custom images for the phone, also when i flashed the custom recovery images fastboot reported that the files where flashed successfully but i cant boot into the recovery, i only can get to fastboot and that's the only key combination that appears to work. the devise only have power and volume physical buttons, home, back, search and menu are capacitive
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You could try asking around if someone that owns your device or similar re-branded device would be willing to dump the partitions (boot, system, recovery, modem, etc.), that way you could re-flash those partitions manually through fastboot and restore your device. Another option would be to contact the manufacture and see if there is a chance they will provide a factory image for you.

[Shield General] devilsmack:
I successfully rooted my shield without unlocking bootloader using towelroot. When you install the apk and run it it says it will reboot in 15 seconds, but it will take a little longer than that for some reason so just let it sit for a while. After it reboot I had the SuperSU from chainfire's website downloaded. Use root explorer to open the zip. Go to common folder and install the apk. Worked for me.towelroot.com. download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip.
[Shield General] alucard_xs:
cool, I hope it just does not break future updates of the shield ...
[Shield General] devilsmack:
Me too. But it is very easy to unroot through the SuperSU app. I would just make sure you undo anything you change system wise before unrooting like uninstalling busybox.
[Shield General] rushless:
Are you on the 77 update? Kitkat.
[Shield General] psycho1200:

[Shield General] leolawliet:
Holy ****! Geohot made this?
[Shield General] devilsmack:
I believe Geohot said it should work on any phone with a kernel date before June 3. Shouldn't hurt to give it a try. It will either root or it won't. I think the Motorola community has been able to unlock some bootloaders after using this root method. Check the forums for you particular device.
[Shield General] devilsmack:
Yes.
[Shield General] kossiewossie:
this worked for my shield using latest update with a locked bootloader. brilliant! saved me alot of time!
[Shield General] alucard_xs:
strange, the app seems to hang ... is it normal ?

Does not seem to work for me, when I click on "Make it ra1n", the app seems to hang and the texte beneath the "make it ra1n" is still "click the button to root no more reboot required" ... and that's all ...

UP : I use towelroot v2, did you use v1 ?

UP2: I tried v1 without success , it's written reboot in 15 seconds but i's been 6 minutes right now ... how long did you wait before it reboots ?
[Shield General] kossiewossie:
for me using v1 it hanged for about 1min, then I swiped it away in the multitasking panel and the device rebooted itself and then I had root access.. Seems little dodgy but it worked
[Shield General] alucard_xs:
thanks, same here now, seems rooted ;)

Hey having a bit of problems hoping someone can help? Like a previous user mentioned Towelroot hangs after clicking 'make it rain'. A few minutes go by and I get a 'not responding' prompt. If I click 'wait', a few Kore minutes go by then same thing again. If I click 'close' the device reboots without root.

I'm at a loss for what to do next.. Is it recommended doing this in safe mode? 4.4.2.

Cheers
[Shield General] Vustom:
How did you get this to work? I downloaded tr.apk v3, installed it, opened the app up and after clicking make it ra1n it says my phone is not supported?

Would changing the modstrings help, if so; to what?
[Shield General] devilsmack:
I don't know what the difference is but I used v1. Maybe do a search for that apk and see if it works for you.
[Shield General] omgmanatee:
Every article I've found so far just links to the towelroot website. Can you mirror the v1 apk?
[Shield General] leolawliet:

[Shield General] themichael:
I used v2. Doesn't look like there is a link for legacy versions anymore on Gehots site. If someone can uplaod v2 it should work with the shield.

I ended up using v1 (tried all 3) and it finally worked. Crashed, but didn't restart the device.

The 3 versions can still be downloaded just change the number in the hyperlink..

Does rooting the Shield with this method prevent the red warning about voiding the warranty?
[Shield General] hexitnow:
Im pretty sure rooting any device voids the warranty considering youre modifying system software. Nvidia is good about replacing them if youre within the year time period from the warranty. I sent mine rooted and unlocked and they didnt say a thing.
[Shield General] Outrager:
That's good to know. Thanks.
[Shield General] CobraCommanderp:
nVidia couldn't care less about rooting, they just don't like custom roms.
[Shield General] leolawliet:
Good to know. I haven't done custom ROMs yet nor have I played around with CPU settings after rooting. All I've been doing is using Xposed Framework, Root Explorer, Greenify (Root+Xposed Functions), and a few root apps that don't mod the system except for ViPER4Android FX.

Does anyone know if the Towel Root works with the Shield Tablet that just came out? I need that move apps to sd card because kitkat doesn't provide it.

***EDIT***

Someone told me i might have my Sd Card formatted wrong...i'll look into this

***DOUBle EDIT****

i still need to know cause if i remember correctly, you can't move the app data on any android without root access.
[Shield General] Outrager:
If your SD card is formatted with FAT32 you can move some apps to it without root.

Go to App Info of the app and just clikc Move to SD Card.

Some apps disable it. A lot of Gameloft apps don't seem to move properly. For me some apps like The Cave and Anomaly 2 will either give an error and fail or reboot my Shield and not move anything.
[Shield General] r3pwn:
There's a few things I used to be able to move anything I wanted. First, when rooted, download an app called SDFix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix then, when you want to move an "unmovable" app, in an adb shell (or in Terminal Emulator) type:

su
pm set-install-location 2

Then, when you are done moving your apps, I would recommend switching it back because I ran into a few errors eventually.

su
pm set-install-location 0

Changes take effect immediately, no need to reboot.

I hope this helps you!

I'm eager to see how the Lollipop update comes through with root.

I haven't rooted mine yet, cause I'm just now learning about the root for DS3 capability, and wanting to see if itll remove itself or cause any issues for the update, or just work and still keep root.

(just got my tablet a couple days ago)
[Shield General] rumsey:
In the past I have always used towelroot to root the Shield, but as of the latest update it appears to be patched. If you want to root now you will be required to unlock the bootloader and lose everything you've ever done on the shield, data wise.

Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
[Xposed General] ie5x:
Hi,

I am developing a module for which I have hooked android.app.DownloadManager.enqueue callback. The code is like this -

Unhook hook = findAndHookMethod(android.app.DownloadManager.class,
"enqueue",
"android.app.DownloadManager.Request",
new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
log("After enqueue.");
}
});

This code is invoked from initZygote. It was working perfectly fine in Jellybean 4.1.2 on my older Xperia J. However, the callback is not invoked in Xperia Z running Kitkat 4.4.2 ROM. The callback does get attached successfully since the "hook" value is not null. I have tried moving the invoke into handlePackageLoad when the "android" package is loaded, but still no luck.

Any suggestions?
[Xposed General] ie5x:
Anyone?
[Xposed General] rovo89:
Have you made sure that the enque() method is actually called? You can easily test this with the Xposed Installer, just download any module. It also uses this method. Make sure you place the hook in initZygote(), otherwise it won't be active in the installer process.
[Xposed General] ie5x:
Hi [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION], yes I did put this call in initZygote. I took the clue from XposedBridge code which hooks up android.app package methods in there. Also, I found this issue when I installed my app on Xperia Z Kitkat ROM and found it not working when the various ways to invoke enqueue did not call the hooks. I typically use Chrome/AOSP browsers to download an image to SD card to test this. In Jellybean (on my earlier Xperia J), the hooks get invoked as expected. Its just that in Kitkat, even though the "hookMethod" returns a Unhook reference, the hooks are never called.

Interestingly, this is only affecting the DownloadManager class method hooks. I have also hooked methods in downloadprovider class and it gets called alright. This is really a very confusing situation :confused:.

Is it possible for you to give this a try please? The code snippet I pasted should be good enough, otherwise I can rig up a sample. Thanks!
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
You're hooking the wrong method, then. Look for the method that actually gets called for DownloadManager (check its source, make a test app, possibly use Xposed Method Finder, etc).
[Xposed General] ie5x:
Thanks for pointing me to the tool. Although based on the source code from KK/JB trunks, I am pretty confident that any app using DM must use enqueue, its still worth to be sure. I will upload a sample app here to help understand and debug this issue.
[Xposed General] ie5x:
Turned out both Chrome and AOSP browser on Kitkat weren't using DownloadManager enqueue :silly:. They natively handle downloads and only use DM for reporting downloaded files in its queue. This was unexpected because these apps used DM in Jellybean. A custom test app calling enqueue successfully invoked the callbacks. Thanks for your help!

This thread can be closed.
[Xposed General] rovo89:
That's why I suggested trying it with Xposed Installer, because I know for sure that it uses DM.enqueue(). Just tried it and it worked fine.
