[Xperia Z5 General] keynone:
I just bought a used Z5 and I want to make sure that it wasn't tampered with, i. .e that the bootload was unlocked (and possibly restored).

Is there any surefire way of checking the status of the DRM keys on the phone I just bought?

Thanks for your help!
[Xperia Z5 General] TheCraig:
Try Playstation movies, if I recall SEN (Sony Entertainment Network) didn't work with unlocked bootloaders on the Xperia Z1.
[Xperia Z5 General] honam1021:
Dial *#*#SERVICE#*#* in the dialer and go to Service test > Security

The first 3 lines should read KEY OK if the device has never been unlocked before.
[Xperia Z5 General] keynone:
Perfect! Thank you very much!
[Xperia Z5 General] Hobbes2099:
I don't know what to thank you more for:

- learning about the KEY OK security check

- learning that the 7378423 sequence, which was impossible to remember, actually spells out SERVICE

I think I'll thank you for 7378423; this is awesome and freaking obvious :eek:
[Xperia Z5 General] Latiosman:
I bought a used z5 and wanted to check that too.

The first 3 lines says KEY OK. so, it is for sure that has never been unlocked?

However, the phone has an Androidplus kernel, and twrp recovery... what does that mean? have these two been installed without unlocking bootloader and without rooting?

Yeah mine showed Okay but my bootloader is unlocked and rooted also.
[Xperia Z5 General] Latiosman:
but... I read that if you unlock the bootloader, it also affect to some functions like the camera.... does that mean that I cant get those good functions back?

Actually no, tobias is the legend of Xperia, his drm hack is awesome and I believe that his mod will work for a long time as long as he doesn't open source.
[Sony Xperia E3] Sunderesh:
I bricked my phone trying to flash cwm from mobile uncle mtk tools

Does that mean my bootloaders unlocked

If s

Here r a few doubt's

1- what's bravia engine and DRM keys

2-what are there functions

3-many ppl say u lose clarity in camera after boot loader unlock does that have anything to do with the bravia engine and DRM

4-I don't back up ta partision and unlocked my boot loader

What apps won't work on my phone now n which won't work properly

(Coz I saw a few comments mentioning album working but loosening some clarity or some kind of.....stuff)

Thanks in advance.......

I tried to unroot my phone via the uninstaller on superSU and it bricked my phone

So i had accidently attempted to flash G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar....I am on OC4....apparently this is bad, as it says to not do this for this version...

I've tried so many things close to giving up and getting a new phone. Ive tried flashing G900A_OC4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 , G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5, among other things.

Spent several hours trying to get this thing working to no avail..

I can get to both recovery and download mode, is there anything that can be done?

Hi@all,

I tried to get a serial connections on my Prophet using 2 different ways, neither worked for me. I´d be glad if anyone could help...

1. Using Putty and ActiveSync

Putty settings: COM1, standard-serial settings (9600 baud etc), but tried many others, too.

I connect - and have a blank terminal screen. But no reaction on any input. No responses. I don´t even see what I typed.

2. Using basic4ppc (on the device) and serial commands

I tried out various COM-Ports and settings. In 98% connection failed. The other 2% brought up a short ok-message and the program crashed.

So what am I doing wrong?

btw: I want to do all this to communicate with the GSM-device of the PPC.

Thanks for any kind of help!

Sounds like your bootloader is still locked.

Check out this thread (especially section 5):

Be very careful, as the Z00A shares (almost dominates) this forum space, so make sure the instructions and downloads you find are for the Z008.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denysscp:
Hello everybody

Recently received a Samsung Galaxy S5 originally from Verizon. The Phone works really well Outstanding performance ! but it has no service. Explanatio: I live in Cuba here the cellular operator is Cubacell operates on GSM. The phone finds the signal and notifies in "avaliable networks" tha Cubacel is Available... But fails registering on the network, and i don't know what to do... many technicians already "diagnose" the phone and most of them says is a problem qith QCN file, but what really worries me most is that Board IMEI is not the same the cell shows on *#06# .. so i found all these really tricky since i'm new in Android cause my previous phone was an HTC Windows Phone 8x that suddenly died and revived with no service either (a strange case for other post i hope) The S5 is SiM unlocked everybody says, besides every verizon phone is gsm unlocked by default don't they? The dark story of it is that the phone was previously unlocked for use in another company in the US and was working there perfectly. Right now the phone is running Lollipop, and no problems with WiFi restriction for Cuba so far... Registered on Samsung, on chat they send me to verizon saying phone is locked but i don't think thats the real problem...

So i'm wondering if anybody could help .... since in my country everything is so hard to get ja! and the acces to Octoplus Box or Z3X is expensive.. very...

Phone Details:

Model SM-G900V Android 5.0 Baseband G900VVRU2BOK3

Kernel 3.4.0 Build LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3 Hardware G900V.00

Security MDF v1.1 release 4 VPN v1.4 release 4.1

KNOX 2.3 Configuration J13.SAM.SMG900V.1

Thanks a million in advance and greetings from Cuba...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jbowman21:
So my friends Boss' son tried to be all "l33t h4x3r" and mess with his S6(sm-g920p). First he ruined his EFS section of the phone, the Baseband is Unknown, no IMEI number, Software Version is Unknown, and his radio wasn't working. I think he then tried to do some crazy **** in ODIN, "No Clue he doesn't remember". Well i've never ran into a constant reboot issue with any Android phones i've owned. I've had bootloops but this is throwing me for a loop. I've tried:

Loading TWRP wiping everything and trying a Custom ROM

Using Odin to Recover back to Stock

Honestly im not sure whats up anymore or if his phone is even fixable at this time.

Link to Probs: http5://youtu.be/QVLgYF_7tGU
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Hi, you certainly have a challenge there. It sounds like you need to restore both the partitions and the stock OS.

If the phone is a 32 GB model, please see the whole thread at http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/operating-smg920p-t3263325

There is a PIT file linked at post 16, instructions for using it at post 22. Also a link for the latest stock TAR file.

Again, this would be for 32 GB model, but you want to flash first the PIT and then the TAR.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jbowman21:
I think I may have done that already too but I'll look again once in home and see if maybe I did it in the wrong order. Thanks for the quick reply friend. ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jbowman21:
Well i did as instructed but Baseband is still unknown and it is still rebooting over and over :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
If he messed up the efs partition, like it's empty, without a backup. I'm pretty sure the phone is done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
I recommend he brings it to Sprint, after they "diagnose" it and declear its broken they should be able to replace it. Just make sure its as close to stock as possible that way it does not seem rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
That is about the only option left. There are other options to restore the efs (pretty much rebuild it from scratch) but that is not something an every day user can do. I had an efs issue on my S4. I was tinkering with things I shouldn't have, forget exactly what I was doing, it was on T-Mobile so I think I was trying to remove the data cap (was on prepaid). Was pretty much in the same boat as OP but was able to completely from scratch rebuild the stuff that belongs in the efs directory. Some stuff I never restored but didn't seem to affect the device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Huh, if you remember, write a guide that way you can help people.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
This was many many years ago. What saved me was the fact that Notepad++ keeps a copy of the file you have open even when you close the program. I just had to remember what things needed to be reverted back and the edits undone. I guess I didn't really rebuild it from scratch lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Yeah sadly I have no idea how the efs is populated. The second instance I get a new phone, dd is done on the efs partition and created into a .img file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] x1xmadex1x:
Koop's firmware didn't work with my phone either. This version of it fixed mine for some reason. Try flashing it to yours

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Now i got same issue i accidently restored efs and ah man ive tried every thing it reboots after 2 or 3 mins no matter what rom back up i have and i have efs and radio with all my back ups ive restored it also no luck. Guess im going to the sprint store tomorrow even after i flashed stock 6.0.1 i can get to about half way through wifi setup before it reboots no matter what 2-3 minutes phone reboots unless in twrp
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Still no luck becareful and dont try to restore efs i suppose in twrp. Your phone may never stop rebooting ive flashed 2 different 6.0.1 builds one was the revo other was from sammobil both [MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION] has them PB6 6.0.1 odin doesnt fix this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
YOYOYO

Well wtf or omg it completely died left it for a day. Now its working so far it hasnt rebooted in 30 mins LOL but dude sucks going to a phone with kitkat after using marshmallow and one of the fastest phones made for awhile. I did pull the sim card out and try it in a old boost maybe that reset something idk its working though.My problems were Rebooting constantly after 2-3 mins no matter what rom i had even stock.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

BEcareful if u restore that efs. i backed up too but once in twrp. Now all i did was check restore efs by accident just tried restoring a renegade rom system,boot, and data. Tell you what i wont be rushing through crap and am fine with stock for awhile. Probably will still take the replacement when it comes its white the black one i got is too blue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] droseofc:
Theres similar issues happening on sprint note 5s as well and has a couple threads currently speaking about this problem. Strange strange. It happened to me after updating to mm and then rooting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Well i did try the note rom right before and when i did hit restore efs it after wiping system data boot from moar MM rom phone rebooted for days then after few resets and odin flashes i let it die then a day later it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Correct but have always preferred the 925p roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Well i helped another with the rebooting issue on any rom.

He tried everything then but let it die after battery died plug it in and bingo his worked to

IF CONSTANT REBOOTING.

LET THE BATTERY COMPLETLY DRAIN.

AFTER FLASHING STOCK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] cyberone3:
well i flashed pd2(everything was fine at this pint)

and did cf root (seemed okay also)

then ran supersu 2.71 (rebooted 45 sec)

now i have a constant reboot I let the phone die then charge same issues tried and flashed back to stock

still reboot 45 seconds after it go into android

did factory reset before and after flashing stock same thing

at a loss

the weird thing is if i leave it in recovery or boot loader i can keep it there for hours
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
This is one of the worse problems good luck it is possible to fix im seen several return tostock non rebooting and myself but i wiped caches factory reset alot flashed stock several times pb6 then let it die then bingo worked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Stock recovery or TWRP? After PD2, try to flash our TWRP build for MM, don't let it reboot fully, but reboot into TWRP if possible. (I haven't tested TWRP with PD2 yet, please post your results.) If you can do that, flash the SU 2.71 zip and you should have root.

The latest versions of everything are in my post: http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/general/guide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862

The key question is if that TWRP will work with PD2. If it does, you are golden. If not, let us know and I'll see if i can't find someone to help with that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] cyberone3:
yes we are able to use twrp with pd2 (it flashes and i was able to flash other roms as well with it even on pd2)but take it with a grain of salt since i have boot loop but i have boot loop with stock recover and twrp.

i did use the twrp for mm

no i still get boot loop

if i boot to the boot loader or stock or twrp the phone will stay on till the battery dies

I have flashed stock tarr pb6 and pd2 and still have the same reboot issues at about 45 sec from booting into android (not from boot ) right now i am going to let it boot loop till it dies and try again tomorrow

at this point i need a phone i just order the s7 but still want to get the s6 up and running

not new to flashing and twrp or odin but this is a new one to me i had this happen on my s5 and flash stock fixed it but not the

s6 ugh thanks for everyone input and help if anymore ideas please let me know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
What about pulling the sim thats what idid before my fix happened too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] cyberone3:
going to try that today the letting the phone die didn't work

will update you in a few minutes

so no dice pulled the sim powered it up still preparing your device for the first-time then 45 sec reboot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
With it on i pulled the sim idk maybe that its self resets something. Think sprint did a warrenty replacement yet to get it still. But not sure if they even cared about my insurance since it wasnt broken or lost or waterdamage.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

When i got the fix i only used stock recovery.

Again i thought it was broken this will sound crazy but idk so i flashed that pb6 through the pit section in odin,but no luck it passed thou after i re odin hit ap clicked stock pb6 from koop1955 thread not the revo one but the sammobile one. All that didnt work boot into twrp eventually repartiton it in there it have warners that u should never have to use it but i did. Still no luck went back to stock kept factory reseting and wiping cache but pulled sim like 3 times then gave up bro. Day or so later i wanted a logcat but it worked better then ever.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Over on the sprint note5 this is happening idk but those guys seem to got the fix too letting it die. Maybe let it die for before plugging in hold power button like to drain even extra power one guy said it didnt work at first but let it die for 10 mins then his worked here link
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] smiley45:
just to confirm, this did work but do any one know what is the root cause or why this happen. i think it the kernel related but it good to here some other minds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Now I use the md5. No im very positive its from currupt downloads n file transfers and old efs backups being restored.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] omar_31091:
Had same issue.. rebooting again and again, left it for a day till it drains to 0 then it worked fine but imei is unknown and now i am using it without sim

Hello

Here is attached link to TWRP 2.8.7.0 for Qualcomm's version of 64bit htc_a51ul and htc_a51tuhl. Not sure if it will work with htc_a51dtul (dual sim version for India/Asia) but if someone want to test,

please do

.

To flash phone, use below fastboot as HTC was change version for 64bit bootloader, so if You use Linux on Your PC, get My version, put together with recovery.img in same folder, restart phone into bootloader and execute:

chmod 755 fastboot

./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

NOTE that dot and slash are IMPORTANT. If You skip it, will not use My fastboot but other which probably not work and You will get error flashing.

If You are on windows, please use latest version of fastboot for windows.

As usual, TRWP sources are on Omnirom github, device sources are on My github.

NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE

64bit BOOTLOADER (Lollipop installed on device)

Happy rooting :p

CAUTION: I am not responsible if You delete and/or brick Your device!!!

No 64bit sources. HTC push OTA's but not release sources on htcdev.com, what is very unusual as GPL say that they MUST to release sources. Nevermind, We can handle that part soon with reverse engineering.

Hello.

I tried once to change my stock recovery img but I ended up with a non compatible one and it has been impossible to find a good one.

I can only use my PC and ADB to flash one.

I'm using windows 10 and this model htc_a51tuhl. I have ADB and everything installed.

When i try to flash the recovery you posted: CMD "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", it says "invalid sparse file format". I assume that the file is too big, but why?

Isn't it supposed to work? or it's only for linux users? Can someone inlight me please.

I'm struggling to find a working recovery to root my phone and so if someone share a working one for me, that would be very very nice.
[Desire 820 Original Android Development] fergy:
You probably have an older version of fastboot. Google for latest version.
