Hi...I have experia m dual Android 4.3 c2004 with 15.5.A.1.5

I have already rooted with towelroot successfully.

But I am not able to use link2sd or foldermount etc.

So I want to unlock bootloader now...

So please give me link for a best step by step tutorial to backup Ta and unlock bootloader...for my above firmware...

pls help me...thanks.
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Before you start you will need to check if your bootloader is unlockable. To do this, open your phonepad/dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#*. Tap service info and then configuration. Look to rooting status, there you will find a string of text what reads "Bootloader unlock allowed:" if it says yes then you can unlock your bootloader (and I will help you to unlock it as much as I can), however if it says no there is no way to unlock it.
[Sony Xperia M] Amirphp:
Thanks Bro... I checked...and bootloader unlock allowed = Yes

Now I think I can proceed...pls tell me step by step to take Ta partition backup and unlock bootloader.

And may I know I will able to move to sd after unlock? or not?

thanks.

Hi guys! I'm in quite of a pickle at the moment. While trying to delete everything and get my Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 back to brand-new, I deleted both the ROM-Slot and wiped the Stock ROM-Slot (and deleted the backup).

Now, my device is stuck on the "kindle fire" bootscreen.

Is there anything I can do at all?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
well

No.

Not if you wiped the system of stock. Try holding the power button for over 20 seconds. At least I haven't heard of anything yet being able to push system files to this device currently .

Hi, I have a moto G XT1033 (dual sim) Indian version.

You have to convert it, but you'll lose the second sim (you can use it again if you flash stock xt1033). I have a xt1032, and don't know if the method in the link works, but you can try it.

My phone failed today. It was working perfectly when I put it on charge with 15% battery left.

An hour or so later when I took it off the screen the phone is dead. All buttons unresponsive, tried different chargers, then took it to a shopping centre repair place who tested the battery and said it had charge in it. The LG charger still works perfectly with my S3 so it can't be the charger.

So I'm gutted as I've just returned from 2 weeks holiday and all my photos are on it. I tried plugging it in to a USB port on my PC but no joy.

Any ideas?

Well at this stage it doesn't look like there's much you can do! Can you access download mode? Take out the battery for a minute, put it back and power on with power+volume up. If it switches on you could try flashing a stock lg rom.

I'm new to LG so probably not the best help you can get, hopefully someone else can be of more assistance!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southern87:
I have one piece of advice. Hold the power button for 8 seconds. Other than that plug it up for a few hours and try again.

It sounds like you are gonna be returning it though. If you return it I would emphasis the importance of the photos. Maybe they could do something.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steph09:
You should try to explain that you really need those photos to the people who will repair it, maybe they come uo with something. And from now on you should use something like dropbox to back up your photos.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sic0048:
Google plus will automatically backup every picture you take on the cloud as well. They don't have to be shared public ally either....

That being said, I woul doubt the phone is totally dead. I would remove the battery for a while and then reinstall it and put it on the charger overnight or something. Another option would be to go into a store that has g3 on display and use it's battery to power your phone up.

Yep I've tried this. No joy. I have a dropbox account but my 2 years free S3 promotion expired so no photos have been saved to dropbox :(

My phone is a grey import from Hong Kong (I'm in Australia) so there is no way I can expect to have my pics on the phone if I return it under warranty.

My thoughts exactly although ive had a few of those die on me as well. Just backed up my entire device using a 2 tb HD and usb OTG today actually.

Myself Like a few others who have also probably learned the hard way..always back up to a cloud of some sort as well.

I use drop box coupled with dropsync. I realize this does not help you now but will in the future.

Hope you get your pics back man.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
I have a htc m8 on at&t. I've been thinking of rooting my phone. I do have a warranty on the phone and I don't wanna void that. Is there a guide on here (for super NOOBS like myself) on how to create a back up and how to root?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tower1972:
Indeed there is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265618

but if you really dont feel comfortable with doing this stuff, by all means don't. Some things (S-off for instance, which is required to flash upgraded firmwares not specific to your carrier branded device) have a high potential to turn your new toy into a paperweight if done incorrectly. Just read up, follow the instructions to the letter, and come back here with questions. Most of the time someone will be nice enough to assist you :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
I do wanna root just so I can get rid of this app that's keeping my phone awake. I've read about the sunshine root. Some of the stuff I read is a bit confusing. On the website it says that the update won't require towelroot (is that the right term?) for me to be able to use sunshine. But in here it says that I need to root my device before using it.

Sent from my HTC 1M8
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tower1972:
I personally nothing about Sunshine. I unlocked my bootloader with the HTCDev site when I got the phone (was shipped to me since AT&T couldnt sell it in the brick and mortar stores for the first month or something like that)

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You need to slow down, as it seems that you are rushing ahead with very little understanding of what you are doing. I recommend any newcomer (even experienced HTC users) to this phone spend at least a couple hours reading and learning before doing

any

mods to the phone. If a total n00b to Android, root, etc. then more time should be taken to research and learn. Reading includes the sticky threads, basic guides, and also my Index thread has a lot of information organized: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

Sunshine is an s-off method, not root.

If you unlocked the bootloader, all you need to root is flash SU/SuperSU or a rooted ROM. S-off is not required for root.

Backing up the stock ROM, recovery, etc. is not required for the AT&T version, as you can RUU back to stock.

Also, AT&T (directly through them, not HTC) will only void your warranty for physical or water damage; not for mods.

Sent from my HTC 1M8
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tower1972:
Redpoint is 100% correct. If this all seems foreign to you, or anyone else for that matter, research, research then research some more! Before I do ANYTHING that I haven't done in the past (hell I have flashed many firmwares and it STILL scares me), I do alot of reading and see if its something I really want to do, plus it will help prevent me from coming back and saying "Halp, my phone is a brick now!". Once I have a basic understanding to it, then I go on
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
That's why I decided to root my phone because I've read enough to know the basics and I was successful. I'm reading on flashing custom Roms now and it seems fairly easy but I won't just flash a ROM without reading more about it. Thanks for the replies.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tower1972:
Personally I use ARHD 10.2, Its as close to stock as any other, but I have been using Mikes roms since my M7. In order to use it without any of the annoying boot bugs etc, you will have to flash a new firmware but that is one I would recommend, but also read up on firmware flashing and the steps to do it properly :D
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
That's what I've been doing. But I've been mostly just looking at what ROM I want. When I find the one I want then I'll start really reading about flashing Roms and everything related to it. So far I still love sense so I won't need to change it anytime soon.

If I upgrade to an English ROM, is it possible to get Portuguese dictionaries working?

If I stay with PTG ROM what is the latest?

Is I stay with ENG ROM what is the latest? RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU3.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-b5 ?

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:
your phone is probably sim unlocked but still CID locked

CID and sim locks are TWO different things

i'll add this to the wicked, whoever if people would search the answers are there....thats how I found it the first time I got to this place...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] hanmin:
If yours unit is not tied to a specific carrier, the phone ought to be still CID locked that it prevents you from loading ROMS from other company/operator (eg, Qtek prevents you from flashing it with iMate ROM). However, you ought to be able to use SIM card from any telco, unless your phone came with a specific telco package (eg, sometimes if you get a SonyE from a telco, the SonyE still needs to be SIM unlock).

I am from India and have Moto G XT1033 Dual Sim Version.

so what i did was - (FOLLOWED THE ROOTING PROCEDURE FROM MODACO superboot tools )

1. I tried to unlock Bootloader via Motorola website and first time i didn't follow proper bootloader unlocking process and tried to root the phone while it was "LOCKED STATUS 0".This gave error Device loked and "cmd".

2. Then i noticed mistake and unlocked bootloader successfully and STATUS was "UNLOCKED " in bootloader.

3. Then i rebooted and again booted into bootloader and then began process and it on the phone screen said something like "Booting" or "cmd" i dont remember actually and then some stripes with BLACK SCREEN and faded colours were there so as told in tutorial , i long pressed power button and rebooted it But after that nothing happened as told in guide and no "SU" or SuperUser app was there.

ALSO the command prompt on pc screen ended the process saying like "Failed"

4. Now when i check with some root checking apps , they all tell me device is not rooted. also from google play store , i installed superuser and it tells no SU binaries found.

CONCERNS ARE - :rolleyes: :confused:

1 Should i begin the whole rooting process again ? will it mess it up further ? can my device get bricked ?

2 In Recovery option in Bootloader there is a BOT laying down with RED exclamation mark. what is this ?

3 Have i customized my ROM and firmware?

4 How do i get Rooted ?

5 How to get stock firmware/ROM back ?

6 Please help me find my stock firmware for my Indian XT1033 Dual Sim version.
