[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavisaldana:
First of all, I'm spanish, my apologizes of my expresions or misspelling.

That's what I've done:

1 - I've checked if my bootloader was unlockable, and my phone say's: NO

2 - Then I've installed the DualRecovery W/O root and with my phone bootlocked.

3 - Then I've tryed to flash CM11 in TWRP recovery, flashing first the Boot.img via fastboot.

4 - Device in Red Light.

What I can do to woke up my Z2? That's my record 2 hrs to **** my phone. :silly:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Firstly, it's stated in the first post of the CM11 thread that you shouldn't be using dual recovery. If you read the thread further, you'll see that it is recommended to use the recovery in DooMKernel to flash. And this requires unlocked bootloader.

Anyways, you can try using Flashtool to flash a stock firmware. Might be able to recover your phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensei_sai:
If your BL is locked, you cannot install CM.... coz you cannot install a custom kernel. you should rebuild your phone using SEUS to put a good ROM.

Then you can put whatever ROM you want for LB and root it. but no custom kernel.

Hi there,

Is there any way to get root access without unlocking the bootloader. I found some ways in XDA but nothing is clear.

I would really appreciate if you guys can send me a link with a clear tutorial of how to get a new ROM without unlocking the bootloader.

I just got my Z2 which is sim locked (UK) and I can't unlock the bootloader from the official page.

Many thanks,

first: the phone comes with a Vodafone rom, I can put some "unbranded" rom? how?

second: I can't unlock my bootloader forever ??

and third: What is the function of recovery mode if I can't flash any cRom? Just backups?

Thanks all ^^
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
You can download a Generic FTF and use flashtool to flash it to your device

Once you unlock your bootloader it stays unlock till you relock

You can flash roms n manage general other stuff from recovery

[Moto X Q&A] IlChengis:
Gentlemen,

I brought a brand new, unlocked ATT MotoX to a friend out of the country, only to find out that the ATT version only has 4 languages compiled into it (ridicolous).

I've done some research and it seems like flashing the VZW ROM on the phone should do the trick (right?).

I've put the phone in fastboot and selected "recovery". After seeing the little Android image with "no command", I held the volume up button for about 6 seconds, followed by a tap of the power button (while still holding the volume button). It gave me the selection screen.

I picked "apply update from sdcard" and selected the "VZW_XT1060_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25.2_CFC_1FF.xml.zip" file I downloaded from here.

Here's the result:

Guys, my friend's English is not good. He needs the OS to be in his native language.

I am leaving town soon and would like to get the issue resolved and return the phone to him with all the languages, and able to work with non-US SIM Cards. Can you point me in the right direction? It will help us save time, since it's running fast.

Thanks in advance!
[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
You can't flash AT&T phones with VZW firmware directly. You need to "port" the VZW firmware to the other model.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] IlChengis:
Thanks man.

I am reading threads that explain porting, but it seems like a steep learning curve, at least for the limited time I have at my disposal before departure.

I'll continue reading and try to figure this out. I am following this guide. I will report back if I encounter any issues.

In the mean time, if someone knows of a pre-ported VZW ROM that would work in my case - or - of a better guide to follow, please let me know, it would be immensely appreciated.

Cheers!
[Moto X Q&A] IlChengis:
Ok, 1st issue: I extracted the Zip archives of both ROMs (ATT stock and VZW). Inside the archives is a few ".img", ".bin" files, one ".mbn" and one ".xml" file. I assume the directories and files mentioned in the guide are in the system.img file (1.1GB), correct? Should I extract it and work on those, or is there a better way?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Fist question... Is the ATT XT1058 you have SIM Unlocked or Bootloader unlocked?

SIM unlocking allows you to use the SIM from another carrier in your phone.. i.e. use a T-Mobile sim in an ATT branded X. That process does require you to have a different carrier's sim so the phone will prompt you to enter the unlock code. SIM unlock codes are available from many places around the web. It has no impact on rooting.

Bootloader unlocking allows you to flash a custom recovery, 3rd party roms, etc. By virtue of being able to flash a custom recovery you can easily root your phone. When it comes to the ATT XT1058 there is only only one place you can get a bootloader unlock code.. the Chinese Middleman (not as reliable as it once was, there is a BIG thread discussing it already).

If you are NOT bootloader unlocked, you will not be able to flash anything but the ATT XT1058 rom on that phone, no matter what you try. You will not be able to fully root and can not disable write protection once you have 4.4.2 on the phone.

As for adding languages, I thought there was another way, but I also thought that needed root and write protection disabled too.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

And you'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the ported rom you make if you follow those instructions.. (since it says you're ready to flash via CWM... and you can't flash CWM, TWRP or other custom recovery to the phone unless the bootloader is unlocked)

Edit: this is the other thread for adding languages.. basically its suggesting flashing the VZW ROM and then your modem files for your device -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/how-to-add-languages-to-moto-x-t2437807 which again needs unlocked bootloader.
[Moto X Q&A] IlChengis:
Hey bud, thanks for taking the time to help me out and explain.

I'm not entirely sure, but I'd venture to say that it's SIM Unlocked.

Is there a quick way to tell for sure?

If it turns out being bootloader LOCKED, we're pretty much screwed then, right?

Thanks again man.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Boot the phone into Fastboot/Bootloader mode (see -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-BootloaderMode.htm ) The status code will be there.

If you have an ATT XT1058, they are shipped Bootloader locked, and the only way to unlock them is to use the Chinese web site or Middeman selling the codes. So unless you bought the phone USED from someone who already did this, its bootloader is locked.

Pretty much, unless you don't mind voiding your phone's warranty, and then depending on the age of the phone, see the Chinese Middlman thread to buy a BOOTLOADER unlock code..

I've not tried to add languages to my phone, so I can't help you to do it. Just that based on the quick searches I've done, the results have always needed the phone's bootloader unlocked.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fulcan:
My phone is nice and softbricked right now, I was trying to swap out the bootloader when I hit write protect errors.

This is a very well know issue with AT&T and also Verizon, with them flipping a write protect ( ooooh, wow 'chattr +i /file') or some version there of on the bootloader/md5 file.

Is their an unlock solution for flipping the write protect bit on an OTA updated kit kat 4.4.2?
