I don't know any official way to tell if your bootloader is locked or not.

I modified an extracted boot.img (kernel) and flashed it back.

Then i flashed a custom kernel build by Garcia.

In both cases I didn't get a security error and the phone booted.

This custom kernel is not ready for use now, but it is a prove of concept and promising for the future.

If you are not a developer or plan to start developing there is no use of an unlocked bootloader at the moment.

Sorry, for bringing up this old thread, but I found something very interesting and this thread seems fitting.

Apparently, there is this thing called LGTool. It can do a lot of things for various models, including unlocking the bootloader. List of officially supported devices.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshR81:
Bought brand new OEM Galaxy S4 LCD assembly from ETS. However, i've tried it with a few S4 motherboards, and with everyone the Samsung i9505 startup logo is purple. And it doesn't look right. Even though it's purple, there are specs of white around the edges of the text.

Plus, what's really confusing is that i bought this replacement LCD for a customer who's screen was playing up. The customer's screen would also startup with the purple i9505 logo, but then also display some gray garbled image, and then display correctly but with a haze, which would correct itself after a couple of minutes. The phone would also have problems playing videos and some other display issues.

Originally i thought the customer's phone had an LCD problem, but then i tried the replacement LCD and saw the same purple startup logo, and then settled on it being a display IC fault. So i assumed there was nothing wrong with the replacement LCD.

But now i've tried the LCD with 2 other motherboards, and get the same result (purple startup logo, not the other display issues).

So i believe the display IC is faulty, but it's strange that the same purple startup logo is occuring with the new LCD. Other than the purple logo, the LCD appears to work fine.

Has anyone else had a purple startup logo, either with an OEM replacement LCD, or their S4? Is this a defect that warrants return to the supplier (ETS)?

Hope this all makes sense...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Hmmm.. hard to say, as I never seen something like that here, at XDA... however, one user claimed such phenomenon, but not on new screen... see here, as the result of dropping the phone.

Well, first, I'd try this.

But, I'd expect no significant improvement, as from the description of a guy cited above, it seems to be likely that such may be caused by micro-crack on some circuit.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshR81:
Thanks for the response, but I sent it back to the supplier and they sent me a replacement. All good.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merak05:
Ok, so i'm new to all this stuff about custom recoverys and ROMs. How exactly do they work?

Let's say i make a custom recovery image of my current ROM, wich is stock, does it just backup the OS or my personal files (music, photos, apps, etc.) too?

I'm asking this primarly because i want to upgrade my phone, but to do so i have to flash the stock firmware because i've modified some system files. Wich bring to my other question, flashing ROMs wipe user data? i've read some split responses to this, some people say it does some say it doesn't.

And my final question, let's say i made a backup, wiped my phone flashed stock firmware and updated, now how i recover my data from the

backed up ROM, i mean it is a different version, does it have an option to just restore user data?

Thanks in advance, and sorry if these are too much questions.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twist3d0n3:
it'll back up system, data, boot.img and dalvik cache.

your sd partition isn't backed up, but all the stuff on it will be readable by whatever new rom you put on it (unless you wipe EVERYTHING [not a good idea]).

when you're changing roms/etc, you want to place the rom.zip + gapps.zip (and custom kernel.zip if you're going to use one) on your sd partition. you do this because usb storage mostly doesn't work with custom recoveries as of yet on this device meaning once you've wiped, if you don't have a rom on your sd partition you're mildly screwed in that you'd have to reflash everything from a stock image (meaning you will lose root, all your personal files and whatever rom was on the phone - basically everything goes back to stock bar the bootloader).

e: as for restoring all apps data, use something like titanium backup. i always have a backup on my sd partition of all my current apps (plus wifi passwords, accounts info, sms messages etc to save time/effort when restoring after putting a new rom on). i also always set TB to backup all modified/new data every night at about 3am, then upload the backup to google drive so that if i either brick my phone or accidentally wipe everything, at least i can get back to where i left off.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andogeek10:
If you forget to place the ROM zip, and have formatted the device, it is not necessary to flash stock. You use adb side load which is present in every recovery.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twist3d0n3:
in that case i need to remember that for future use - i hardly ever use my pc with my phone now as you can pretty much do anything (update recovery etc) on the phone alone.

that, and i'm on windows 8.1 which afaik doesn't play nicely with fastboot or adb.

Introduction

This is a Graphic User Interface Toolkit for the OnePlus One.

It will allow you to perform all the basic root actions for the OnePlus One easily.

YOU NEED TO HAVE THE USB DEBUG ON ALL THE TIME

If the program not open, you need to download PowerPacks.dll (link below) and put it in the same folder as the program.​

Features:

- Install ADB drivers

- Unlock bootloader (Needed to do all actions)

- Lock bootloader

- Root

- Flash CM11S

- EFS Backup/Restore (1st program to do this in OnePlus One)

- Boot and Flash custom recoveries

- Flash custom kernels

- Auto Update

- Install .apk's

- Backup/ Restore phone

- Record screenshot and movie

Future updates:

- BugFixes

- More options

Note: This program was based on the gui manudroid19.

This program is not JAVA, you need to have installed net framework 4.5 to run it.

Im not responsable if you brick your phone.

I suggest you do the EFS backup soon after making root before any process.

Tried functions (not their functionality) and worked quite well. I am still waiting for my 1+1, still under processing.. :(

I have one question though, is it possible to allow this utility to flash own files like recovery or kernel without downloading any by referring to our own copies? If not, can that be implemented in any future version?
[ONE Android Development] docsparks:
Newest version still opens and says outdated, and trys to prompt me to download the EXE file again, over, and over, and over. Disconnecting from the internet should fix this problem, but i mean, really, who does that anymore.

and when started without internet connected, straight to run time errors from trying to connect to dropbox on start, and having improper try/catch methods for startup.

On windows 7:

right click on "Computer" -> Settings -> Andvanced Setting (upper left corner)

-> Advanced -> Environment Variables

At "System Variables" you have to add adb & fastboot and set the path to adb and fastboot

(I'm using a german Windows 7, so not sure if for you it's called the same way)

or you extract the toolkit to your sdk folder where you can find fastboot.exe and adb.exe

[HTC Sensation] Deddoman:
Hello, its my first time here. Nice forum about android and i hope i someone will help me :). I bought used HTC SENSATION, everything is fine but its a bit laggy. I had this phone model before 2 years and there wasnt any problems, then i sold it. Now i bought it again. I think something is wrong with processor or because phone software is hacked i think.

When i choose hardware information i see all info. And there is something about processor that i think its wrong. It says Processor : 1620Mhz x2 - Bricked. What does that mean?

Android version 4.0.4

HTC SENSE version 4.1

Sowftware number : ViperS 1.6.3

HTC sdk API level - 4.23

HTC Extension_403_1_GA_20

I hope its somehow will hepl you. Maybe it's because it has to good android version and using more rams that it should? I opened device manager and i saw that 568MB/768MB are used is this bad? Or its normal?

Sorry for bad english.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
you have a custom rom(vipers 1.6.3)

with a custom kernel(bricked kernel)

to put it simply your device is rooted with unlocked bootloader or it is on S-OFF and has a custom recovery installed

about ram 568 is total for users.the rest of it handles it the gpu
[HTC Sensation] Deddoman:
Then why its so laggy?? When i press messages icon i need to wait for 3s, sometimes it takes longer time to open phone book, or even browser. I havnt installed any games on this phone. But i think with games its will be the same. Maybe my processor speed its limited?

What doeas cutom recovery means?

By the way my phone come from UK and it has SIM Toolkit, what does that means? Maybe it was on something like AT&M?
[HTC Sensation] mrjabol61:
SIM Toolkit are just services which delivers your "provider" (sorry, I dont know the correct word; it's Orange, T-mobile etc.).

Custom recovery is adapted to flash custom roms, like the one you have.

You may try to flash any other rom, i.e. CyanogenMod. It's less ram-hungry. You can check if it's laggy or something, then you will know if there's something wrong with your phone or just with rom (hopefully).
[HTC Sensation] Deddoman:
I am using android operating system third time. Before i used nokia phone. I dont really have an idea how to do that. I googled about CyanogenMod and i find they website, i entered my phone model and i downloaded PYRAMYD stable version. What next, how to install it? Maybe there is guild somewhere?
