[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris2108:
Hi Members.

My Name is Chris and i am from Minden in Germany.

I have got an HTC One M8 from Vodafone.

A few days ago i have a custom rom installed.

Now i am back to stock rom.

I wanted to relock the bootloader with adb command: fastboot oem lock

So far so good...

Now i become the message in bootloader:

Tampered

Relocked

Security Warning

and the phone will not boot into the operating system

ADB doesnt work because windows does not recognize the phone and if I want to go to recovery is with only a red triangle appears with an exclamation mark in the middle

Can someone please help me...

Thank you very much in advance

Best wishes Chris

I have owned about 5 android phones all have been rooted and rommed. I have been trying to look to see if the phone is already unlocked from t mobile and if theres a recovery ready to be flashed. I was looking at the CFauto root guide and somewhere in the post it says custom recovery is ready but i don't see a download for the recovery. Is it included in the ODIN file?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] done12many2:
The T-Mobile Note 4 is bootloader unlocked from the manufacturer. The SIM is locked, but now easily unlockable through online unlocking services.

Root available through CF.

Still waiting on custom recovery.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazzo123:
So I just have to "unlock" the phone to be able to use on other carriers?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] done12many2:
Yes. Unlock for use on any GSM network. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA networks so it will not work on them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazzo123:
ohhh ok cool because i was with verizon for a long time and every phone was locked down
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cicatrize:
Wait wait wait...sorry about my confusion here, but I've been with Verizon for a couple years. Are you saying T-Mobile phones come with the bootloader unlocked? Is AT&T like this too? I'm already prepared to jump ship, but if this is true, I'm definitely gonna say goodbye to big red.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] done12many2:
T-Mobile only.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrispyutec:
Yes, the bootloader is unlocked on the T-Mobile. I'm using one now on the AT&T network. Feels good to be rocking and rooted, unlocked bootloader and carrier unlocked N4. Happy flashing to all!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] erkme73:
Backstory -

I have piss-poor coverage (despite being in the "good" coverage on TMO's maps) - and always have. At any given moment, I might have "E", 4G, 4G-LTE, or NO Service while in or around my home. When I first signed up with TMO (3+ years ago), they provided me with a CellFi (femtocell) to improve coverage in my home. It was lipstick on a pig - improving the number of bars on the phone, but not the call quality or reliablity.

With Google Voice and an OBi Box, all of my calls (while at home home) circumvent my cell, so the coverage issue was resolved. Wifi calling also helped, but going outside of the AP's range would drop calls.

When VoLTE was promoted, I sent the CellFi back, exchanging it for their new Asus Cell-Spot wifi router. Marketed as being able to hand off calls between cell and wifi, I quickly learned that only works if the phone supports VoLTE. TMO tech support told me I need to upgrade my Note 2 to the Note 4 and then it would work. What they didn't tell me was that the handoff would work ONLY if the cell signal is 4G-LTE. About 25% of the time when I'm in my driveway, I have 4G-LTE - but usually just 4G or E. I just called tech support again, and they confirmed that the Note 4 won't provide the handoff because of the marginal 4G-LTE coverage.

REASONS FOR RETURN:

1) VoLTE does not work in my primary use area (home or work). The transition from wifi to cellular only works if you have a solid 4G LTE signal - which, if I had that, I wouldn't use wifi calling. It's a big circle-jerk.

2) Since I unboxed the phone, I've been trying to do the OTA update. I keep getting the "server has reached it's daily limit" error. I realize I can use Kies, but I didn't expect to have an $800 phone require to be hooked up to a PC to get updates. I know, Samsung is getting overwhelmed by all the simultaneous update requests from the new phones. Still, you'd think maybe they're not using a dial-up ISP provider with a bandwidth cap. This issue is minor, but is frustrating nonetheless (especially if trying to decide on keeping the phone within the 14-day buyer's remorse period).

3) External SD card write permissions in KitKat on an unrooted phone are horrendous. I understand that this is "security" driven, but c'mon. Apps can write to any folder/file on the internal memory, but not external? What other motive could there be other than to push people to stop using external SD, and move to internal/cloud-based storage. Again, root + modding the permissions.xml file can take care of this, and I would consider this a non-issue after rooting - but for me to have to root an $800 phone (and potentially void the warranty) just so I can use apps on the external card as I have for all the previous versions is again, very frustrating.

So, as I see it, other than a very pretty screen, superb camera, and fast charging (plus the various software improvements to the s-pen), I have no other benefits to upgrading from my Note 2.

Thus, for me, there simply isn't enough benefit to justify the cost, frustration, and limitation imposed by Samsung/KitKat/TMO (poor coverage).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] keitht:
If I had those issues I would return mine too. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] twe90kid:
I totally agree with piss poor coverage. That's why I swapped out sprint after 6+ yrs. Rooting doesn't kill warranty.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] robroy90:
Sorry to see you go, but I do understand. I am having the very same problems with T-Mo and their coverage, mostly affecting the Missus and her iPhone. We started her on a 5s when we jumped to T-Mo earlier this year (just before the 6 came out). We left VZW because they pissed me off with their threats (since recanted, but too late for me) to "optimize" the speeds of Grandfathered unlimited customers such as myself.

I can't say I have had many call performance issues with my Note 3, and now 4. Same for my sons with an S5 and a N3. But, her iPhone continues to be a big issue. I have done it all, tried it all, and even bumped her up to an iPhone 6 because of the WiFi/battery drain bug when connecting to certain WiFi networks. She still has call drops at home, and that is even with WiFi calling supposedly enabled (phone shows it) AND the brand new T-MO LTE booster (not the WiFi router, and not the older 3G CellFi booster either).

When the Wife Acceptance Factor is not high, your life is miserable.... <grrrrr>
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] railshot:
To me it sounds like your issues are not with the phone but with 1) T-Mobile, 2) Samsung launch day server load, and 3) Google's latest retarded design decision in Android OS.

It does not make your complaints less valid, but it would help to ralize you would have had them with any new Android phone. #2 and 3 are easily fixable btw.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Colnart:
it tripped knox which void warranty is it not :confused:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] erkme73:
Technically, yes. If you send your phone directly to Samsung for repair, then it would likely not be covered by warranty. However most people will do exchanges/repairs through their carrier. TMO has been notoriously generous at taking back knox-tripped and even rooted phones without complaint. In fact, my sales guy told me to try rooting this Note 4 first to see if it doesn't resolve my issues (the SD writing issue) - offering to take it back for a refund even after tripping it. So, ultimately, YMMV.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mocsab:
I feel badly for you - If I had those problems I would make a change too - but to me it sounds more like an issue with the Carrier than it does with the phone.

When ATT started locking bootloaders - I tried to moving to TMOBILE for about five minutes and found that the coverage was horrendous for me - I could only make calls from home using WIFI Calling - and anywhere around my house, coverage was 1 bar or less - 4G Speeds were very slow and eventually, I left TMOBILE and went back to ATT - but this time, i took my TOMBILE PHONE with me. (I paid off the phone in full and started using ATT and found that the speeds were incredible - great coverage and because I had TOMBILE phone I could root - flash ROMS etc.

I know some people have awesome TOMBILE Coverage and speeds and I am happy for them - but I never did - and it sounds like you don't either.

Since Getting my NOTE 4 - my coverage has improved - the modem must be better than the one I had on my S5 because signal strength, LTE Speeds - and everything else about the NOTE in my opinion is incredible. So I don't know everything about your situation - but on first blush, it sounds like you might want to consider keeping the NOTE and moving to ATT. Just a thought...

Best of luck whatever you do - hope it works out...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Misterjunky:
re: sdcard read/write issues

I wonder why most people who have a Note 4 (like myself)

are not having any sd card writing or reading issues?

My phone is rooted right now and I am using the new updated firmware.

Even with the original firmware I have never had writing/reading issues

with the internal or external sdcard before or after rooting.

I just don't understand it at all.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] erkme73:
It's a given that I'm dumping TMO as soon as I can. Unfortunately, I have 5 lines, 3 of which are in-laws that are tagging along for $10/mo. They all invested in TMO phones (the just finished paying off their note 2's last month) - so I'd feel pretty bad for leaving them high/dry. Especially since their coverage isn't all that great either.

Very interesting suggestion though. You certainly have my wheels spinning. Aside from the TMO branding on the phone, and the TMO part number, what - if any - are the downsides?

I live in FL, but have property in TN - about where they filmed Deliverance. The only service in that are is VZ - so I was leaning heavily in that direction. Obviously the CDMA would preclude me from using the TMO phone on VZ, but ATT... hmmm. interesting.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] erkme73:
I think it depends on how you use it. In my case, I simply moved my 64GB card from my Note 2 to the 4, and tried using it. Apps that just need read-access work as they should. But, when I tried using a photo viewer (Quickpic) to delete some blurry photos, I got the "Kitkat prevents writing/deleting files" error. Since THAT version of Quickpic (installed on the Note 4) wasn't the app that created those pictures or directories (they'd been created with Quickpic on my Note 2), the file permissions didn't allow any changes to be made.

If all of your folders on your SD card are created by the apps on your Note 4, it's transparent. But try moving a file from one directory to another, that wasn't originally put on the card by that app.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mocsab:
I wish yoiu well with whatever you decide. I have three family members sharing my plan with ATT - $160 a month - 10GB - I am the only one that really uses data for anything ..so all is good - I could go to 30 GB for just $30 more per month if I wanted to - but no need at this point

If they all have TMOBILE PHONES and they are paid off - you can get TMOBILE To give you unlock codes so you can use them on ATT - if they don't give you an unlock code, you can alwasy buy one if you absolutely have to.

Anyway - good luck - I hope it all works out for you....

There are fixes for that issue - an AP on Play Store - and something you can do your self, adding a line of text to one of the files - I forget the specific name if the ap or the fix but do a GOOGLE search and you will find it pretty quickly.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] machetemike:
Yah when I went in to pick something else up , when I asked the rep at the counter about root he had stated that they have a diagnostic machine that they hook the phone up to and root would trip it and they wouldn't accept it. Would simply returning it w/o root not trip the machine or does it check the knox flag?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] XxKINGxX2580:
Sorry about that. Thats terrible. I would return my phone too if i had those problems. But i guess I'm lucky. I always have full bars in my house. No problems at all for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] AriaNoob:
Get root explorer and go to:

Etc/permissions/platform.xml

Edit the file with the extra line in the pic and you're good to go.

I actually wasn't going to root yet but the restrictions are ridiculous. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mgbotoe:
Safe to presume you are also leaving tmobile? Among your problems, the only on that belong to the Note 4 is the samsung servers over load. Your bad reception is not due to samsung nor is the lack of sd issue. That have been an issue since the day kit kat got release by google because they dont believe in SD card due to vulnerability and security issue (hence why nexus will NEVER have sd card)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] raw2000j:
Download sd card nextapp sd fix or sd fix from playstore modify and reboot I have no problems with my sd card
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] xatlx:
So you are having problems with T-Mobile not the phone? A simple root and quick fix should solve the problem.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] fcb1:
I heard someone was having this issue of bad data coverage but unlocking it and taking it to at&t fixed it. Could be t mobile?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] erkme73:
I appreciate all the supportive comments.

Yes, the primary reason for the return is the poor service from TMO. If I had usable cell service at home (and wife at work), I would keep the Note 4.

As to the SD write fix, I understand that there are apps and manual permission.xml edits that will resolve the KitKat security - but all of them require root. Don't get me wrong, I would have rooted this, had I been able to get better service (than my existing Note 2) at home.

My beef is that with the promised lateral hand-off between wifi and 4G-LTE (or vice versa), I could live with poor coverage at home. After being lead to believe the new hardware would work with VoLTE, and solve my coverage problems, I'm sorely disappointed to find out that it doesn't work as promoted. Again, that's not the Note 4's fault - that' entirely on TMO.

In the end, I need to justify the nearly $800 price tag. And, as much as I want the latest, greatest, geek-out gadget, I can't. If there was even marginal improvement in usability, perhaps. But in this case, so long as I stay with TMO, I may as well stick with my Note 2.

I am strongly considering buying the phone outright and moving it to ATT as Mocsab suggested. I have to do a little more homework/research on their signal coverage - both here, work, and at our property where the banjos play.
[Sprint LG G3] engmarwan10:
I got a LG G3 LS990 locked on Sprint USA and I need to unlock it and don't know how.

My problems are :

* When I insert another SIM into the mobile, it doesn't open the "Insert Unlock Code" window ((Figure 1))

* When I press *#06# to get the IMEI nothing happened.

* Accordingly I think a new security system had been applied to prevent the unlocking process.

So please help ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sprint devices you cant unlock for that way..

you must to edit the prop.build and add some files there are in the general section.. and you can use your phone just international.. with gsm not lte..

and your phone just work in another countries.. in usa you must to use sprint.. i didnt able to works with another carrier like att or tmo.

[Sprint LG G3] xxsanioutlawxx:
You need to read the threads. There aren't that many on how to unlock. And yes, one can use the Sprint version on ATT or T-Mobile. It's a matter of editing the build.prop file. Be careful, and remember to reset permissions after editing or you will get stuck in a bootloop.
