Seems like you have to do a full wipe.

I have a Droid Maxx on Verizon running the latest ota update (23.3.24), rooted, with TWRP installed. I enabled HD Calling (VoLTE) through Verizon's website, but cannot find an option in my phone's settings to enable it as was suggested in some comments I read on other sites. Am I missing something?

I believe that you have to restart the phone after activating the feature on your line.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
Yeah once I activated the feature on Verizon wireless I had to turn the phone off for a few mins then back on and it was there,,,a simple reboot doesnt work.

I been looking everywhere on how to root this thing and unlock the boot loader how did u do it mine is only a couple months old sorry im suck a noob at this
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhall8:
Which software version do you have? There is no root available for Maxx, Ultra, or Mini phones on 4.4.4.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g0thm0g:
I was on an older software version and used a utility called Sunshine which was created by some of the devs who post in this forum. I just checked their website and it indicates that support for bootloader unlock for Verizon users on 4.4.4 will come in the next update to their utility. There's a $25 fee, but after your bootloader is unlocked, it will likely remain that way through future ota updates. After your bootloader is unlocked, you can install an alternate recovery like TWRP which will auto detect whether you have root upon exiting the recovery and ask if you want to install it or not.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g0thm0g:
Thanks for the replies everyone. I followed your suggestions, but still don't have an option to enable VoLTE on the device itself.

I left my phone off for 20+ minutes (several times) but the option to enable VoLTE (HD voice) was still not present under mobile network settings after powering on. I also performed a factory reset (no luck), wiped everything in TWRP and reinstalled the 23.3.24 fxz file using RSD Lite (no luck), and disabled and re-enabled HD voice through the Verizon website (still no luck).

Does anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm at a loss.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kandrelly:
I have what may be a dumb question. I have a rooted, unlocked droid maxx on 4.4.4. I would like to get the latest update so that I can enable advanced calling on my phone. Can I download the update somewhere? My phone is set to not download updates automatically. Thanks.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jughead75:
For those who have been using Volte consistently since the update what has been your user experience? I was part of the soak and used it for only a week before disabling it. I found that in areas with weak 4g coverage the call would break up or I would loose the call all together.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twister99403:
My speaker has a crackling sound to it since enabling volte but other than that I haven't had much time with it in rough service areas to tell but I just got back to North Dakota for work so I'll get a crash course in that soon haha
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jughead75:
I had the same issue. I found that it was a common occurrence in a weak 4g area. When it was really bad I would cut in and out before finally dropping the call. When I was in a strong 4g area the call was crystal clear.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayze:
Same here. With VoLTE on I started getting call drops in places I had never had them before. I have it disabled now.

Seeking advice on updating from 21.11.21. I am unrooted & have OTA disabled with my workaround. So no downside? Just enable or disable voLTE as needed?

Thanks
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayze:
There may be other reasons to stick with 21.11.21 but concerns over VoLTE shouldn't be one. Even before you can use VoLTE with the phone you have to get Verizon to enable it on your account either by calling them or your account page on their website. At least I did when it came out and I assume that's still the case. Once it's enabled on your account the option to turn it on/off in the phone should show up in the settings. So if that's the only thing holding you back then I'd say go for it.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
What other downsides?

I am hearing about bugs & of course unlock patch that would stop Sunshine if a root method is ever found.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayze:
I haven't encountered or heard of any bugs with 23.3.24, really. There's a thread in the other forum about lost features, but other than that and VoLTE I haven't noticed any differences from 21.11.21.

I guess there's always a risk of an root exploit being found and released for an older version after upgrading, but I'm not sure how likely that is to happen at this point. I don't think there's been a whiff of one on 21.11.21 or later. If one does come out it might end up working on 23.3.24 anyway since they are both 4.4.4 based.

With all the changes coming with Lollipop you might have better luck eventually getting an exploit for that version.

So I guess if you are perfectly content with 21.11.21 and aren't interested in VoLTE then there probably isn't much of a reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you do upgrade I speculate that it won't impact your ability to get root/unlocked bootloader down the road if one happens to fall out of the sky. But that's just my opinion.

Hey!

I accidentally bricked two of the exact same phones, and I dont know how to unbrick them. They both are Samsung SGH-T959V's. They are pretty old, and I wanted to put a newer OS on them. Here is what is wrong with them:

Phone 1: Can boot into TWRP but when I try doing anything, it just gets stuck, forever.

Phone 2: Screen has multicolored lines all over it. Kinda like tv's when you go to the wrong channel.

I would be really grateful if anyone can help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:

The multicolored lines are due to not having the GB bootloader.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] CZ Eddie:
Probably a stupid question, but where does the PA ROM come from?

Do they grab the Cyanogen source code and meld it into their own?

Or are they grabbing straight from Google Android source code and making it their own, then borrowing some features from other ROM's (like all ROM devs do)?
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
We build from aosp. Most features are our own, we try not to borrow things from other ROMs at all.

I have searched and tried to find this answer, but now I am more confused... So please be gentle with the flaming.

I have an unlocked Cingular 8525. I down graded to bootloader 1.04 using Cingular ROM 1.30.502.1 and SUCCESSFULLY made my device superCID according to the detail direction in the wiki. THANKS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!

My confusion comes with the fact that I want to have newest OEM ROM from Cingular, 1.34.502.1, but I also want to upgrade the radio version... But when I upgrade to the newer 1.34.502.1 ROM, I get bootloader 1.06... BUT I read that I need bootloader 1.04 to change the radioROM... But as far I read, I would have to go back down to the earlier 1.30.502.1 ROM. :confused:

QUESTION:

How do I keep bootloader 1.04 with upgrading back to ROM 1.34.502.1, so I can have the newer ROM and be able to upgrade my RadioROM also?

Thanks

Ron
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
Downgrade then install the 1.01MFG bootloader. After that extract the OS from the NBH of the ROM you want and flash it. You can then keep 1.01MFG bootloader or change it back to 1.04. Its all in the wiki.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] lokmeup:
Ahhh... thanks for the push in the right direction!

Ron
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] TheMaster666:
Couldn't you just upgrade the Radio and the Extended Rom and still have the old boot loader?

Wouldn't this provide the same end result?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bkbroil:
I had the EXACT same question...It turns out that you can upgrade the radio with the German version since your device is SuperCID. So I was able to upgrade to radio 1.27 with BL 1.06

..... and then....

I learned about the 1.01MFG wiki ... and I followed the instructions and was able to (first) flash 1.01MFG and (second) flash BL 1.04... so now I have 1.34 ROM, 1.27 Radio and 1.04 BL...

It took alot of reading and questions for me to figure it out....I hope my pain is your gain. :)

need to flash mk7 modem
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
Well it's a little early for Christmas... but here is a special gift. This will allow the bootloader to load things from boot or recovery without them needing to be patched. This is not a full unlock and will not enable fastboot boot or fastboot flash. Obviously this will only work if you are rooted.

As usual, this WILL void your warranty and I am NOT responsible for anything you do with this. Using this tool won't brick your Fire TV, but doing stupid things afterwards might. I will stress here that flashing something bad to boot is a guaranteed way to brick because if the kernel can't boot you have no way to get back to recovery. For testing kernels, it's best to flash recovery to the boot partition and the new kernel to test to the recovery partition.

To use:

Downgrade: You must first downgrade to 51.1.0.2. If you already have CWM installed, you can skip this.

adb push aftv-unlock /data/local/tmp/

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/aftv-unlock

su

/data/local/tmp/aftv-unlock unlock

Afterwards you should see this message:

Attempting to unlock...
All done!

If not, something went wrong. If for whatever reason you want to relock the bootloader, you can use this command:

/data/local/tmp/aftv-unlock lock

You can download it here.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] jmandawg:
WOW, just WOW, awesome work rbox!

I was definitely not expecting this.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] jocala:

[Fire TV Original Android Development] CLran619:
maybe we can get some real mods for this device now. different roms and what not. ;)

just ran the unlock and it worked like a charm
[Fire TV Original Android Development] jmandawg:
Rbox do you know if the bootloader can boot from usb?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] toe-rag:
Does this require a minimal CWM version of yours?

I installed your Recovery (CWM) - on all 4 of my AFTVs - when you first released it ..

I've not had any reason to upgrade to the latest versions.... I'm just using the heck outta the AFTV as it is built, with all the nice rooted options. I really don't need anything else yet, so ...

with that said " can I just install this unlock-lock feature? "
[Fire TV Original Android Development] deepasadish:
Truly amazing. Can't wait for full fledged android on this.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] alex1301:
Nice to see this, but it doesn't help much when you have a Fire TV with a non-rootable firmware.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
The bootloader will only boot from the boot partition or the recovery partition on the mmc. But I'm working on a boot menu that will allow you to easily boot additional kernels which can then load your os from wherever you want.

Yes. This is independent of anything. The only dependence is the latest version of CWM requires it.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] KLit75:
I installed ccm when you first released it then upgraded to the latest firmware the other night. Thanks a lot btw! But, can I assume (as a novice) this is not something I need to do right now. What I mean is is this just for people that want to experiment with new kernels or is there some advantage I'm missing? Thanks again and sorry if my question is a little too basic for this thread. I'm just genuinely curious.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
If you don't care about updating your CWM version, or using any of the other cool things I'll release in the future that needs it, then no. You don't need to do this.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] KLit75:
Thanks for the response. I did, in fact just update cwm and am running your latest fw update. I guess "need" isn't the right word. But if I unlock it tonight the cool stuff is still forthcoming.

Sorry just 2 questions:

1. Unlocking and keeping it unlocked indefinetly is ok?

And here's one that s on a slightly different subject...

2. I noticed updating with your fw saves my settings. Is there a safe way to factory restore using cwm without the risk of losing root?

That's actually the one I'm most interested in now. My aftv has been having issues that are hard to troubleshoot. An option to factory restore would be great. I mostly use it for xbmc so the only thing I care about losing is root. Thanks.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
Of course keeping it locked is fine... i wouldn't have released the tool if it wasn't.

As I've stated in MANY OTHER THREADS... factory reset in CWM is perfectly fine and has nothing to do with root.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] KLit75:
That's great. Thanks again
[Fire TV Original Android Development] barrist:
Thanks for this! Was very happy that the AFTV i ordered from eBay was rootable.

at the risk of being "that guy", can someone explain to a relative dummy like me the future potential with an unlocked bootloader? are we talking maybe an Android TV rom down the road? .. Apologies in advance
[Fire TV Original Android Development] chrootz:
Hi, I unlocked the bootloader and it was successfully. Thank you rbox
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
Nothing that people couldn't already do with my old CWM. Custom ROMs and whatnot has been possible for a while. This just makes things a little easier because kernels don't need to be patched.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] schneid:
Yea! Install failed yesterday. I've had SU problems I think. Couldn't get the # prompt. Reinstalled latest ROM and SL'd SU from the store. The Unlock finally took. Thanks.

[Fire TV Original Android Development] busventinc:

[Fire TV Original Android Development] puppinoo:
Awesome work.

Congratulations Rbox.

Just a maybe stupid (sorry for that) question.

Bootloader stays unlocked if I update to a newer pre-rooted image or I have to unlock at every update? (I havent the latest pre-rooted installed and I'd like to install it now that I unlocked the bootloader).

Regards.

Pino.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] loughrey101:
Hi, thanks for this! I am having problems with this. I have the required firmware so I don't need to downgrade and am rooted. But when I use step 2 via adb it says cannot stat 'aftv-unlock': no such file or directory. I'm presuming the file this is dependent on where your dowloded file is located? I generally stick mine on desktop for easy location or it automatically downloads to the download folder of windows 8. What do you write in the adb command instead? thanks!
[Fire TV Original Android Development] tavery:
If your just using a "command line" adb and not a gui like adbfire to push the aftv-unlock file to the Fire TV, the unlock file will need to be in the same folder as adb.exe if you just want to cut and paste the code in the instructions.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Ipse_Tase:
First, thanks rbox for all the work done on AFTV, it really makes me happy I ditched Ouya.

Secondly...I read the thread and associated comments on AFTVnews but didn't see explicitly stated that Netflix HD is NOT affected by this partial unlock.

I know from other devices that a locked bootloader is crucial for the security checks performed by Neflix when they authorize the device to get HD (or SHD).

Can you guys confirm there is no impact on Netflix when applying the unlock? Specifically SHD and Dolby+
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
With this unlock, no one knows what's going on. I know Dolby still works. I don't know how to access the debug information with the new netflix like you could with the old, so I'm not positive on the resolution, but there is no way for Netflix to know about this.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Y314K:
Am I correct in thinking that once unlocked the bootloader can only be relocked manually (by choice using command: "/data/local/tmp/aftv-unlock lock") &/or also the way an FTV is unrooted (by re-installing/flashing Stock Recovery). ???
