Bootloader unlock

Hey guys, I am trying to root my leagoo lead 1, but Sony Bootloader Unlock is not working for me. I follow your steps, but it hangs up and the finish button is always greyed out. I tried Kingo and it says its rooted, but root checker says its not rooted!!! :confused: Any ideas?? Much appreciated!

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

I also tried installing SuperSu and it wouldnt work after opening it....Is there another bootloader unlock I can try that may work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaX722:
Oh, HI!

I have same problem as mrcartucho. In the sony bootloader unlocker I can get to the last of four points (I don't remember what it says, I am in work now, sorry) but I can'c click the finnish button because it's gray. Tried that on W8.1 and W7 with same result. I've tried to flash prerooted rom wich I found on needrom but then the phone gets really hot and the flash led is randomly blinking, so I flashed back the stock rom.

Also, I have two other questions:

The first is about default lockscreen. Can I somehow disable it? I mean, completely. I've already set the "lockscreen" option to "none" in security section in settings. The reason I am asking is - when I use the phone, it randomly appears, even in the middle of the work or game. I really hate it because I am kinda flappy bird addict and I can't get over 71 score, because *BAM* suddenly lockscreen appears. I am using the GO Locker instead of the default one, but the default one keeps randomly apearing...

And the second is about battery. I can only get to around 2 hours when the screen is on. Today I've get to 6 hours of using my phone - from 100% to 10% when I was in school, I did't really use it, only regurelry replyied on FB messenger - screen uptime around 1 and half hour. This is'nt normal I guess, how long can you get from yours Lead 1? Is there anythink I can do? (I've already disabled all things that could drain battery like wifi, bluetooth, location, checked and cleaned APPs on background and still same result)

(PS: sorry for my bad english :C )

Root

Have you had any luck finding another method? I tried installing su with MTK Droid Tools, but that did not work either and now I can't remove su, root explorer, or Mobileuncle Tools. It says they are system apps and can't be uninstalled!?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mocrazora:
Hi guys,

I got my Lead 1 on Monday and am desperate to root after having my rooted HTC Desire for 5 years. I've tried the method as mentioned in post 3 but I can't get the unlocker to play; it restarts the phone in to fastboot, does all steps really quickly, but failed at the final Unlock step (screenshot attached). Of course, without unlocking, I can't continue with the Kingo Root.

Since I got my Lead 1 on Monday it's come with OS version 0.5.5.1. Kingo Root says my device is an HTC Device, if that matters.

I'm a bit stuck :/ I was hoping to port Cyanogenmod (or attempt to) to this phone, but if I can't even unlock it...

I'd really appreciate any help or guidance you guys can give.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mocrazora:
OK, so the Kingo ROOT worked anyway. Gave Kingo ROOT a go anyway and it said something suggesting that it didn't work; paraphrasing "give us your email and we'll message you when your device is supported". Did the MTK Uncle thing and it claimed success, Kingo ROOT claims rooted too. However, Root Checker from Play Store says no, and I can't get Busybox installed or SuperSU to work as they both say root failed.

I have vroot a go (as suggested by some other places) and that didn't do anything either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcartucho:
It didn't work then! It sucks rooting this phone is hard. What version do you have?

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I think only certain versions are able to be rooted that way. I can't unlock my boot loader!!! I tried Sony bootloader unlock and adb, but no luck!!!!!! ?????

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Never mind it worked on my laptop..... Thank you!!

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Wtf!!! It doesn't work! Only options allowed 11.2.1, 11.2.3, and 5.5.1 ????
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaX722:
I don't know what you guys are doing but I managed to root it yesterday, though I don't know the exact procedure.

So, basically i followed this guide.

When you get to the flashing CWM via SP flash tool, you will also need to flash the patched boot image, otherwise the phone will replace flashed CWM recovery during the boot with original one. After bootup I had some new aplications like root explorer and SuperSu (or you can choose SuperUser during procedure) but I didnt had the root even thoug the MTK Droid Tools was telling me that I have root. So I conected the phone to the PC and started Kingo Root and pressed "root again" let him to do his job. When the phone came up alive again it was rooted. It's so awesome phone with gravity box, Greenify and so...

Anyway I have latest firmware and on the SIM tray I have "A0" can you guys please tell me what is written on yours SIM trays?

Also, I have to still deal with the phone lock screen that randomly appears. You don't experience this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witchfindergeneral:
I've tried to root my Lead 1 using the mentioned process but when I get to the idle Fastboot on my phone and turn my phone off and press <Volume Up> and <Power> the Sony Bootloader Unlock goes from "Fetching Unlock Data"" to "Fetching Unlock Code" very fast but then when it does get to "fetching Unlock Code" it takes about 5 or 6 minutes to reach "Unlock" but once it gets there, it says "Unlock Failed". I've tried numerous times and i'm just about to throw the cursed thing out the window and resort to my 3GS:) Anyone else have this problem?:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centodue:
I rooted one week ago using kingo root.

Using "Sony Bootloader Unlock" it stopped without finish the procedure.

Kingo root installed a SU in chinese language but I reinstalled superSU in english using backup made by another Leagoo Lead 1 bought 15 days before (and it is rooted too with old version of kingo root without problem).

Now my 2 Lead 1 are rooted with superSU installed.

In every case I am not able to use link2SD to add ext4 internal memory to stock internal memory....kitkat does not permits to use link2SD :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayayuyang:
Partially rooted???

I followed the OP very well and managed to root my Leagoo Lead-1 (SM619B_V0.5.5.1_S0919). Run As admin the Sony Bootloader Unlocker (I have a Windows 7 PC). The Unlocker will stuck in "Fetching Unlock Data" while the Lead-1 will have the "FASTBOOT" in its screen, this time switch your phone off. Press the Power + Volume Up at same time and go ahead to Fastboot. That time the Unlocker in your PC will proceed to "Fetching Unlock Code" very quickly then the green bar will slowly move to "Unlock" for about 25 minutes. Then the "Finished" button will be able to be clicked.

NOTE: For me I got a "FAILED" message in Unlocking

NEXT.. I run the KINGO ROOT and connect Lead-1, wait for KINGO ROOT to recognize your device, then you can click "ROOT". After about 5 minutes, the "Checking Root Status" message will be displayed by the KINGO ROOT, this time OPEN the Mobileuncle Tools installed in your Lead-1. Enter engineer mode.

Go to log and debugging tab and press user2root, then select Root.

Now KINGO ROOT will tell you that root is successful and phone will restart.

Manually install the SuperSU from Play Store and Root Checker to verify your root.

ISSUES:

1. V4A SOUND ENHANCEMENT

AS ROOT CHECKER verified that I have successful root, I installed V4A, and Busybox. EVRYTHING went well til the Installation of V4A driver, the V4A does not recognize the Busybox installed though Busybox is working perfectly.

2. LUCKY PATCHER

I installed the Lucky Patcher for me to install a Modded Play Store but to NO LUCK, message is coming that core.jar is not patched, though it is already patched in "Patched to Android".

Cannot put any custom patch to any. Message "SU Java-code Runniig! com.chelpus.root.utils.custompatch Custom patch not found. It's problem with root. Don't have access to SD card from root. Please update SuperSU and update binary file su from SuperSU."

WORKING APPS:

xposed frameworks

adaway

root explorer

I HOPE SOMEBODY WILL GUIDE ME FOR THIS ISSUES. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hi guys i need some help because i'm so desperate and angry.

long story short - i downloaded sp-flash because i wanted to to flash this rom http://www.needrom.com/download/leagoo-lead-1/

basically i thought it's the easiness way to get root, but now i'm on endless boot-loop and tried to reflash it several time and no go.

even i tried to download the original one from here http://www.needrom.com/download/leagoo-lead-1-2/

but when i unziping it it's says error (corrupted file).

If someone can send me his backup and save me i will be very grateful!

There are different version of this phone:A0 (has one version of rom SM619B), A2 (has two version of roms, one for 1/5gb data and one for 2/4gb SM619)

SM619B_W_OTD_K550_LEAGOO_KK_V0.5.5.1_S0919 is the latest version of A0: https://yadi.sk/d/6Eic-W_0cU6q8, you flashed wrong version is my guess.

Rooting this phone was easy although half of the so called solutions or easy guides i found where wrong, i used the method of flashing boot.img and recovery.img with flashtool, so you also have custom recovery and can install Supersu via it. all done now, stock rom is working fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pavelol:
Hi!

ty for answer.

after some trying my phone now boots fine.

still no root yet but have a bigger problem ATM.

GPS not working, i dont see any satellites...

do you know what it could be?

i want to understand something, as you said you only flashed boot.img and custom recovery and flashed supersu?

haven't you open bootloader before?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0c0:
no, you dont need to unlock bootloader, at least not the version i have. just use google as i also did to get my info.

This thread may be already discussed but I couldn't find any sorry if I'm repeating it!

note this thread is not about iPhone even thought I've wrote about it a bit

I'm not an apple iPhone lover but few days ago I had to unlock my friends iPhone which had iCloud password, so as I read in the internet, IF iCloud is registered on a device and it is locked because of firmware flash or it is marked as stolen, the device cannot be unlocked, it becomes locked in the apple servers by IMEI or so... and only owner can unlock it by singing in into his account using his phone. Neither jailbreak nor some hacks are not able to return the GSM functionality of the phone, maximum you can do is to turn the iPhone into a fully functional iPod

I think this is the only thing I like in the iPhone and since I'm an Android user i would like to know if it is possible to do the same with the Android device?

I saw that google android manager is able to lock and locate the android device registered on the current account but WILL THAT hold the lock code even after

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooze1121:
Hi All

I've just (stupidly?) upgraded the firmware on my Galaxy Note 3 to the new 4.4.2. I use the built-in web browser and have discovered that despite being able to have a number of windows open simultaneously (I currently have nine according to the tab in the top right corner), I'm only able to preview a maximum of four and can no longer scroll through all the open pages and tap on the one I want to access. If I close a page, one that I already have open pops up at the bottom, and if I open a new page, the oldest one gets bumped from the list but seems to still be open.

I've been through the settings available and can't seem to find any options to change this. Has anyone experienced this and knows how to fix it? Otherwise I'm open to any suggestions :)

Thank you!

Hi,

I will be traveling on vacation and wanted to use my Verizon phones in Italy. I was told the least expensive way is to use a European carrier while over there. Would I simply be able to take the VZW sim cards out and plug in the European carriers card or do I need to change settings in the phones to use them. We have a Droid Maxx (newest one), iPhone5, iPhone4S and a Note 2. The Note is running Alliance ROM while the others are pure stock phones.

Any help given would be appreciated and thank you in advance.
[Verizon LG G2] :
Hey guys I am having alittle dilemma.

I had my Verizon LG G2 since february, and the phone worked wonders. I just yesterday had mahdi rom on my phone and everything worked great. i wanted to try something new So I put on Cloudy g3 1.2 and didnt like it much so I tried to go back to mahdi and kept failing. not sure why.

So I did a tot factory restore and for the life of me I cant get back knock on. I tried doing the tot a few times, and still no knock on. I put cloudy g3 back on and the knock code works great. I checked the screen to see if there are any dead spors. There are none. Is there a way to update my firmware for touchscreen or what could have caused this? could it be because I left cloudy g3 on right when I did a tot and some how messed it up because I had the knock code on? I am dumb founded this phone worked wonders. I called verizon and lg yesterday and they both said its a known issue and they cant really set up for a replacement because its a "known issue".

Any help will be helpful. Thanks.

*Edit: I just turned off the knock code to see if my knock on works, and it does. So now what I am thinking is that since I did a tot with the knock code on, it disabled the knock on. I will test a stock rom or aosp rom to see if its correct.
[Verizon LG G2] mpetruzz:
I'm kind of having the same issue. I flashed an aosp ROM and then decided to go back to a stock based ROM. None of the stock based ROMs have knock on working for me. It works fine on aosp or cloudyg3. But no others.

I've tried everything and am going crazy.

Any suggestions??
[Verizon LG G2] :
Me to idk. Worked last night till i did a tot last night and now it doesnt. So no stock rom works for you. Like no knock on?
[Verizon LG G2] mpetruzz:
No stock ROM has knock on working. I flashed carbon which is aosp and its fine. Even went to a backup where I knew it was working. I tired to update the touch software by using the code in other threads but its not workibf
[Verizon LG G2] :
Yeah I tried that too. Not sure whats going on. When did you get the phone?
[Verizon LG G2] mpetruzz:
I had an issue with my original and was just sent a replacement. Seems like that's when it started. Not a biggie. I guess I'll just stick with aosp for now.
[Verizon LG G2] :
I just tested the knock on for g3 and it works great. I turned off knock code and the knock on works fine.

I am going to test tonight with rageRom and see how that works.

Awesome!! I've tried all the "fixes" reported online but nothing seems to have worked. Let me know what you come up with. fingers crossed!!

It's gotta be a software issue if it is working on g3 and AOSP roms
[Verizon LG G2] :
Nothing..It didnt work......i am wondering does a different kernal may fix this?

I found a repair but need to find a stock kit Kat vs980 kernel
[Verizon LG G2] mpetruzz:
Not sure. I'm using cloudyg3 now and its money. Might just keep that. If you try a different kernel and it works let me know.

I know it's not a hardware issue because knock on is working on aosp and g3 Roms.
[Verizon LG G2] :
I actually got it working. But need stock kit Kat vs980 kernel. You know anyone that has one or can find one

I'm still in stock just with root (towel root) but I came from a Nexus 5 so I'm a flasholic.

This thing about the knock on breaked after flashing customs scares me.

[Verizon LG G2] markml0528:
I did look. Post 974 that you linked to is just a 404 page. Based on the comment it's a verizon hidden menu for the G2. I googled that and found an old thread that xdabbeb made. When I tried to follow his instructions by putting the command in, it does nothing. It looks as if the hidden menu is in fact installed in system/app on xdabbeb's ROM. I can't find a way to open/install it though. Really, any help at all would be appreciated.

Yep, knock on and all. Don't know about custom, I've run nothing but stock.

Well that's a worthless link. I believe if you download G2 Tweakbox, the option to enable hidden menu is there. You'll have to install xposed though.

Go into the Windows/startup folder via file explorer and delete "Init _Tray.lnk" and soft reset your phone...that should do the trick, and if you want it back on your Today screen, just go into the Windows folder and find the link and copy it back to your startup folder, hope this helps....
