You can't have TWRP on a SM-T337V, it has a locked bootloader which means no custom kernels, no custom recoveries
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericpeacock79:
ohh, man.

Would Samsung or Verizon be able to unlock the bootloader? (i know able and willing are two different things)

i see many references around the interwebz to custom ROM's being installed on it, rooting, etc. I hadn't seen that it was BL locked. (i've currently got about 30 tabs open, xda and a few other websites)

I've tried flashing the stock firmware via Odin, and it gives green pass, but after reboot, there is no change at all.

This makes me think there is a secure storage area to retain corporate settings outside the normal ROM areas.

I was desperately hoping to get custom recovery on it.

i bought this tablet for cheap on ebay (although, it was listed as a different model, i don't blame the seller for not knowing how to get into Odin mode and get the exact model)

It's locked out thru some mdm, not sure which; only the one corporate app on the home screen shows and literally nothing else is accessible. (can't even swipe down for notification area)

I tried to sideload towelroot and kingroot, tried to sideload another launcher - nothing works.

Based on the ebay listing, it seemed as though I would be able to just flash new recovery, install custom rom and be able to flip it for profit.

Looks like I've just got a shiny paperweight. :(

So, called Samsung support and explained situation and asked for bootloader unlock tool.

They would not give it to me, but told me to go to any Best Buy and the Samsung center would factory flash it for free.

Went to best buy and they flashed Lollipop ROM for free, as promised. I asked if he could unlock bootloader and he said he could not.

But tablet is now functional on stock lollipop now!!!

Wow verizon seems to be some real cancer out there if they wont let their device get factory reset normal way! Also my old tab acer iconia cant be unlocked!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericpeacock79:
In the case of my tablet, and the OP of this thread, the tablet had restrictions from an MDM (Mobile Device Management) software. Also, tablets that were display models could have this, aka "kiosk mode".

If I'd had access to the company that originally set the device policy, they could have unlocked it thru their enterprise control software and I would have been able to do the normal factory reset in recovery mode.

This wasn't Verizon or Samsung's fault, but Samsung fixed it for free.

Got it, semi brick the SOB w/ Nand Erase, stock firm then you'll probably get this option

Maintenance Boot Mode, go ahead for a safe mode boot, probably won't work so you'll

need the PIT file for it and a stock firm w/ full certs et al. and it'll do the trick and boot the MDM Block.

Got the same problem on a T337V it camed with a Service firmware from something like a BodyShop for Service, I couldn´t make any factory reset, I realized the it was "MDM Locked". I flashed 2 diferent firmwares hopping to make it functional, but I got stucked at "Samsung" boot Logo. Then I just restored one today with Verizon_EUT_Installer_0601 program. Found on Verizon support page, seems that they have they firmwares for their locked bootloader Devices. Try ut it took me up 2 hours to make ir work. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbs3:
> MDM does not allow factoryReset.

Sometimes MDM has an erase data feature after 10 bad login attempts. So, you just type 10 random passwords and you might get a warning that it will factory reset the device. You still have to contend with Knox and/or MDM thereafter, so this is only a partial workaround.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a case or holder to hold mini sd or sd cards.

Preferably vary slim and credit card sized which about 4 cards can be slotted into and not zipped / closed etc (though I will consider any good case).

I have found these two... two on Amazon, which seem to be the best but not really what I would like, everything looks to be so big and chunky which defeats the object of having information stored on small things. And 454g for one of them!?

Recommendations anyone?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivakanth.sujit:
Hey!

I'm currently on 4.4.4 with a custom recovery and rooted. I got the official Motorola 5.1 update yesterday. I want to know whether i need to flash the stock recovery and unroot before updating? Do i need to do anything else? like updating to 5.02 before updating to 5.1, cause i didn't get the 5.02 update, only the 5.1.

Thanks!
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonym20:
You don't need a 5.02 update, that's why Motorola announced they were skipping 5.0.2 official and going to 5.1

The soak test was 5.0.2 but only works on Indian retail versions (xt1022) of moto e and should not be flashed on other variants.

I think I've read that you need to be unrooted with stock recovery.......

Please don't take my work for it, its here on XDA that's where I read it.

You are lucky to get 5.1, UK is not getting the update at the moment, but I have 5.1 on my moto e via cm12.1.

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vultorus:
Weird scenario here, just wondering if anyone else has come across anything similar. Opened up a brand new Moto E 2nd gen today. Set it up, phone freezes, reboot, did OTA update, phone bricks, flashed stock rom, phone is fine, set up, freezes and becomes unresponsive after installing some apps, reboot, stuck on "Android is upgrading Optimizing app 1 of 1" and sits there. I have retried the process over and over and continue to get the same result. I apologize for the poor layout of this post, as it is late and I've been working on this for a while now.. Did anyone else have similar problems when setting up and installing their apps initially?

At the time I'm done typing this, the phone has booted, but I'm weary that the same freeze will continue to happen. It just shows the system ui (nav and status bars) and a black screen and is completely unresponsive until I hold power to turn it off.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnnamedFile:
To me, this looks like a hardware defect. Something that should be covered by warranty, definitely as it is a "DOA" condition, since it first appeared when the phone was practically new out of the box. You should contact Motorola support so they exchange or repair the device. If they don't, then I've found that there are a few very helpful Motorola employees in their own Motorola support forums. That's where I'd go if the standard warranty support fails to accommodate you.

My D855 came with KK stock. I've never ever flashed stock LP at all. I've found that my experience with LP roms to be lacking usually. Could it be because I have not flashed stock LP before flashing a custom LP rom?

Also, what would I have to take note of when flashing LP stock? Would a CWM of my KK rom be enough to restore to KK if I want to? Or would I require flashing back to KK stock in the future?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HTCFAN0923:
So I've been unlocking and rooting/flashing phones since the HTC Universal but i'm stumped. I've downloaded the toolkit to unlock my bootloader, downloaded my .bin file and the toolkit says my bootloader is unlocked but the screen on my phone asking me whether i want to unlock it never comes out...any senior members willing to point me in the right direction? I'm using my AT&T M8 on T-mobile and i haven't had a single update since i bought the M8 so i need to update it ASAP.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HTCFAN0923:
Update: So I used the sunshine method to try and finally root my phone. Now I'm in the interesting situation where my boot loader is unlocked, it's s-off, yet there is still the stock recovery and not rooted yet. Quite the last 12 hours trying to get root access. I should be able to root it on the PC now that my boot loader is unlocked.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The Toolkit hasn't been updated in forever, is very obsolete, and will therefore cause more problems than anything.

Toolkit just does functions that are easy to do yourself "manually" anyway. You don't need the toolkit, and you didn't need to s-off to unlock the bootloader (although it can be handy for other things).

OTA updates for the AT&T version will only be received when connected to AT&T's network (an AT&T specific annoyance). You could have updated to Lollipop using RUU.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

Now that the bootloader is unlocked, just flash TWRP via fastboot. Then flash SuperSU 2.46 using TWRP to obtain root.

But your OP says you want to update. Here it says you want to root. Those are 2 very different things, so its not clear what your actual goal is.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HTCFAN0923:
Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.

I'm looking to update my phone AND root just because I've always rooted my phones but just now got a replacement for my old laptop that broke down shortly before I got the M8. I figured since I was on T-Mobile my best bet to update it would be to root it and upload a new ROM anyway. Your suggestion is easy enough so I'll be doing that after work.

My last question is this: On the M7, I was able to use an international M7 ROM as everything apart from the radios was the same. Is that the case with the M8 as well? I typically like having Sense ROM's but hate the bloat carriers put on their RUU's....

thanks again!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
In that case, I would suggest updating by RUU first, and then root.

Reason I say that, is that RUU would wipe out root anyway, so no point in having to do it twice.

Whether you unlock the bootloader (via HTCDev.com) before or after RUU is somewhat irrelevant. Especially since you have s-off, so its not required to relock the bootloader to RUU (which is required with s-on).

But one other thing to consider. Since you are using the AT&T version on the T-Mobile US network; the ATT version is actually missing support for the AWS band that T-Mob uses in most areas for HSPA (3G). If you are in an area with good LTE coverage (and I'll assume NYC is) you may have not even noticed this. But if you move into an area where T-Mob doesn't have LTE, you might find that you don't have 3G either, and be pushed down to 2G (EDGE) data speed.

One cool thing about the M8, is the band support is actually software based. So one option would be to change your device's carrier ID (CID) and model ID (MID) which are possible with s-off, then flash the T-Mobile firmware or RUU to "convert" the phone to a T-Mob device including the proper T-Mob band support. After that, you can unlock the bootloader, root, flash a custom ROM.

Yes, its a similar situation on the M8. All international ROMs should work on the M8. But note that your firmware (hboot, radio, etc.) needs to be the proper version supported by the ROM. So for instance, if you are still on KitKat (sounds like you are) you will want to update firmware first, otherwise if you flash a Lollipop ROM, you will likely suffer major issues such as broken WiFi and extreme long boot times (10+ min).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HTCFAN0923:
Crap....went back to the toolkit to flash twrp and root it and lo and behold, my phone is now stuck in the entering recovery screen....How ****ty is that toolkit that it can't do even do a proper recovery flash right...8 years on XDA and I've never had such a headache from rooting/flashing a device....
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I gave previous advice to stop using the toolkit, so I don't know why you insist on ignoring that advice.

Older versions of TWRP don't work on newer hboots; and the opposite is true where older hboots don't work with newer TWRP builds. This is the most frequent reason for TWRP not working properly.The toolkit worked fine at the time it was updated. But it hasn't been updated in a

very

long time, and therefore won't work on many M8 versions now. The issue is more your lack of understanding, and lack of following advice given to you.

Flashing TWRP is just a matter of downloading the proper version, and flashing with a single fastboot command (2 commands, if you want to be thorough and wipe cache before flashing TWRP). You don't need a toolkit for that, and again I advise stopping its use altogether.

Its not clear whether you chose to update before TWRP and root (current device status) and once I know the main version (OS number on bootloader screen) and present hboot number I can probably advice what version TWRP you need to flash.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HTCFAN0923:
And you're absolutely right about that. It was my fault for not listening. I was being lazy about it honestly.

I did end up using the lollipop pre rooted RUU and that worked after two atttempts. I think the issue was that the toolkit flashed the recovery without root. Add that to the fact that the toolkit caused the SD card issue to pop up made it a nightmare. Thankfully, I was able to fix it and now I'm running the AT&T lollipop ROM rooted.

You truly are the best and I thank you for the advice and help. Let me know your PayPal so I can send you beer money for the trouble.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I don't follow. Root isn't needed to install custom recovery; nor does flashing custom recovery automatically root the phone (this has to be done as an additional step, usually by flashing SuperSU in TWRP).

I think the main issue was that the toolkit flashed an old TWRP version that was not compatible with the software/firmware that was on your phone.

I appreciate the thought; but your thanks is all I expect in return. I've benefited plenty from XDA from folks that don't ask for any monetary compensation; so I just like to give back to the community by helping how I can.
