Interesting, I didn't think that RSD would be able to modify the recovery partition on a locked device. Nonetheless if anything is going to work I believe what you have outlined is it St33v, best of luck to you OP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Yep. As long as it passes the signature check, it flashes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Let's be clear -- it was the Droid Turbo. Leave off the Moto Maxx part, OK?

You can lock/unlock a Moto Maxx (XT1225/XT1250) or even Moto Turbo (XT1225) all you want. ;) In fact, the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 is IDENTICAL in every way to the Droid Turbo XT1254 -- radio bands, even the same FCC ID. Of all the Quarks, only Verizon's "Droid Turbo" has a carrier-locked down bootloader. All the others can be unlocked via the Motorola website. Whereas, the Droid Turbo bootloader unlock is a hack (Sunshine) that relies upon a vulnerability present in devices with Snapdragon 805.

Yes, WHY would you do that? Devs went through all the trouble to find a vulnerability to UNlock the Droid Turbo, and you lock it back? Been posted MANY, MANY times with the Droid Turob it's a one-time unlock only, through Sunshine.

While you can flash stock again with a locked bootloader and it can work, over in the Moto Maxx section many people did brick their phones because they refused to unlock their bootloaders first. They were more worried about their silly "warranty" than having a functioning device. :rolleyes: We kept stressing, FIRST unlock your bootloader. If you mess up, it's an easy fix if a flash goes wrong. With a locked bootloader, a bad flash is a recipe for disaster.

Over in the Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo section was a write up about flashing images, similar to your write up:

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/help/tutorial-how-to-flash-official-firmware-t3074724

Usually people wanting to downgrade back to KitKat or flash a Quark image from another region (India Moto Turbo XT1225) got Lollipop first before Latin American Moto Maxx XT1225).

And people were able to do it with a locked bootloader -- but you have to do everything just right. In my case, first time I flashed from Moto Maxx image to Moto Turbo image, I messed up. I was looking at the example picture more than reading the instructions. But, since I had an unlocked bootloader, so what? Just did it again the correct way, the second time. ;)

In the case of Moto Maxx brick people trying to flash to Moto Turbo, those people had to wait until Lollipop was released for their phones then try to re-flash an image made for their phones -- and HOPE it worked. ;)

Re Unlock

I did the same thing on my xt1254 this is what Beaups told me from sunshine and it worked for me. I did it from terminal emulated on the device and then was ablebto reflash twrp

Beaups (TheRootNinja Support)

Dec 29, 17:10

tested this on my device and it worked. Keep in mind we can't guarantee it will work for you and also can't guarantee it won't kill your device (but I don't see why it should). Copy paste this command, do NOT make any errors.

From a ROOT adb shell (if you don't have root you'll need to figure out how to get it, kingroot, etc):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sp bs=1 seek=8

It should hang for a few seconds and then you should see something like:

dd: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sp: No space left on device

1048569+0 records in

1048568+0 records out

1048568 bytes transferred in 7.203 secs (145573 bytes/sec)

At that point reboot to bootloader and hopefully your problem is solved. Do NOT relock that device again in the future.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tvlovers:
How did you re-lock your bootloader? What did you do?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Before I answer this question, I have to make one thing clear: DON'T EVER DO THIS!

Verizon will still replace your phone under warranty with an unlocked bootloader as long as there is no physical damage. Motorola will do the same. Even if they do decide to get picky about bootloaders, re-locking your bootloader does not erase all traces of it ever being unlocked. Your bootloader will show status code 2, which indicates that it has been unlocked and re-locked again. If you lock it before you sell it to someone else, and they try to unlock it again, the phone will be ruined. There is absolutely no reason to do this.

With that out of the way, the command is "fastboot oem lock"

Don't ever use it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tvlovers:
Thank youfor the warning. I should make it clear before. The reason I was asking was to make sure that no one would accidentally do it as I see no reason to lock it again once unlocked.

Besides that fastboot command is there any other way to accidentally lock it? New VZW OTA software or OEM unlocking under developer options in settings?

Please advise.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
A verizon OTA probably will not, but it's best to wait until someone here confirms that. In the past, they have not, but you never know what they'll try next. The OEM unlock setting in developer options does nothing on a Turbo. It's intended for true dev phones (or phones designed for carriers less tyrannical than Verizon) that can be unlocked and re-locked easily. It disables the "fastboot oem unlock" command that someone with a dev phone would normally use to easily unlock the bootloader. There are no other ways to lock the bootloader that I know of.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] richii0207:
Has anyone that has unlocked using this method been able to flash CM or a CM-based ROM?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrkhigh:
This isn't unlocking for a first time. This is unlocking for a second time.

Typically when you unlock a bootloader you can relock and unlock easily in adb.

For our device this is not the case and it should never be relocked.

A few have and have always succeeded with those commands.

Again this is only for a previously unlocked boot loader.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] richii0207:
Ya. I did unlock, relock, then unlock again. I am able to install TWRP, and use CF ROM with no issues but if I install CM, I get data but NO voice which is very odd.

Reflashing radios and messing with the network configurations did not help.

I've seen people that have unlocked twice and are able to run CM without any issues.

I've tried reflashing firmware, Reflashing SU38 and OTAing to 44 to no avail. I used to run CM before I relocked without a problem.

Although I do get errors flashing GPT partition, it says that it flashes backup GPT instead of primary.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrkhigh:
Is it possible you're not doing a full wipe? What version of twrp are you flashing with?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] richii0207:
I realized that I can only make calls when VoLTE is enabled on stock. If I turn it off, I cannot make any phone calls but can access data still. I went into diagnostic mode and it showed " Phone ICCID compare with sim CCID error" with "UNKNOWN" under Phone ICCID. Hmmm..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] AndyMan386:
I need to wipe/relock bootloader because verizon sent me a replacement device because my screen cracked (you get one for free), any suggestions? I only have a few days. Computerfreek274 suggested that I install .44 via fastboot and then open a command prompt cmd.exe then enter " fastboot OEM lock".. Should that work?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] AndyMan386:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Vivjen:
For everyone with relocked by different reasons bootloaders which looks like 70.86(*) in my case and here https://plus.google.com/11473794480...6266357835653511202&oid=114737944807074302746

I have got this status of bootloader after using Turbo Unbrick tool

1) Download the most latest firmware for your device

2) Extract gpt.bin

3) Flash gpt.bin

4) Reboot bootloader/phone (Bootloader looks without (*) now. 70.8A in case of use this 5.1 firmware for XT1254 + on Mega)

5) Flash full firmware by RSD/recovery
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jdl512:
Hello. Since this thread is from eartly this year, do you know if Verizon will still warranty (moto screen assurance) a Turbo 1 if I leave the bootloader unlocked? The risk is a $275 penalty if they find evidence of change. of course I'll reinstall my stock backup and factory reset first.

Thanks very much.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Greets - While this is not phone specific, I am on the Turbo 2 so I may as well ask here. On my Turbo 2, under contacts, I have around 5 'cards' for each contact, 4 of which are all blank. If I try to delete the blank cards, I am told that I can only hide 'read only' cards. That's all well and good, but I would love to hide ALL the cards that are blank; particularly because I never know which card to use to do anything and have to sequentially hit them until I find the real card. Any idea how to hide whatever those random blank cards are? Thanks!

[Samsung Gear S2] digitaldr:
I finally recieved my Aliexpress strap last week. Unfortunately it's made from old school silicone (in fairness it was described as a silicone strap rather than TPU like the original) so is very soft and attracts dust. Also the buckle is shiny chrome and so doesn't look as nice as the original. The attachment mechanism looks and feels a bit cheap but having said that it seems to be doing its job well at least in the week I have used the strap and no sign of it separating from the strap. I have another blue/grey strap (described as TPU silicone whatever that is!) on order from a different seller and will post here when it arrives.

Just a quick update - strap is still going strong with no sign of bracket/strap separation.

Hi,

My sister give me a samsung galaxy S4 who has fell into the water, the phone always boot (normal, recovery and download mode), so, now i need to push key to boot in différent mode :

- No key pressed (just power) => boot the recovery

- Vol down + home + power => normal boot

- download mode can be boot only with adb

It's look like partition are corrupted !

I've used odin and s4 pit file to repartion the phone + push stock rom: no success

Now i would like to try to reinstall bootloader so i'm not sure on how to do this, in my zip file i've a "boot.img", is it the bootloader?

If yes, in odin, i've just to put the pit file, the .tar.md5 file as PDA, and checking "re-partition" and "update bootloader" option?

If no, where can i find bootloader image for samsung phone?

Thank you in advance for your reply

2) I bought it on eBay and its the debug refurbished one. Whats the best tutorial for someone who hasn't used ADB recently?

3) Do I need a screen protector?

4) Did the battery life improve at all?

5) Can I use wifi even though its an iPhone?

1. Install android wear from app store and see what you get

2. There are a few threads here. I suggest read up on them. Use gear live restore tool v2

5. 95% sure the answer is no

If you are still experiencing fingerprint sensor issues with cases, one "trick," is to place your fingertip over the FP sensor until the phone is unlocked. This may avoid requiring multiple taps. The other tips that should be used in conjunction- such as training while the case is on and multiple fingerprint profiles may also help. Regardless the sensor may still be challenged by moist and/or cold fingers, etc.

My girlfriends phone was running extremely slow so I rooted it and flashed a stock OL1 rom on it then I installed a font on it and it made the keyboard give FC every couple seconds and became unusable so I flashed the rom again and now it's still running slow would flashing the hisp kernel and changing the governors work? If so could you guys tell me how? I've tried doing a complete flash (everything but the SD card) and that didn't help either it works for like 10 minutes then starts going really slow again anyone got any ideas???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sean89us:
Backup whatever she needs like contacts, sms messages, etc then do a full emergency recovery in Samsung smart switch. If it runs slow after that she needs a new phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Veid71:
Alright I'll try that and I mean it worked fine until she took the oj4 update do you think that might have messed up the hardware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kn00tcn:
like... choppy framerate? or delayed input? why dont you remove the sd card first, it could be trying to scan something in there

it doesnt make sense for a fresh stock ROM to be slow, but you should also disable any apps or services you dont use
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Veid71:
Both I guess it takes like a solid minute for the keyboard to pop up when you go to type stuff and and especially on the lockscreen and apps like snapchat take a long time to load and come up when you open them and stuff like that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kn00tcn:
i've seen keyboard popup delays on a dell near aosp tablet before, the user was an idiot that installed as many apps as possible, crashing every few minutes, no ram free, etc

did you try my 2 suggestions? (remove sd card, disable what you dont use)

how do you know you didnt get a virus?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Veid71:
nah i havent yet ill try it soon as she lets me get her phone lol and nah she had an app called lookout that was an antivirus thing but she did have frostwire installed when i looked at her phone and thought it was weird but wouldnt a factory reset fix it? and she has plenty of space on both her phone and sd card how can i check what her ram is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kn00tcn:
you rooted & flashed, yet dont know how to go to the ram menu that exists on pretty much every android for years? :eek:

why do you think some crappy antivirus is going to protect you, the biggest problem is always the user & what they choose to install (also how do you know the antivirus isnt demanding)

i'm not questioning the amount of space on the sd card, i am questioning if it happens to have a particular file that is causing the automatic gallery (among others) scan to get stuck at high load, you must have the card removed to prove that it's not the card

factory reset reloads files that are already stored on the device, meaning, they can be tampered with... the only true reset is reflashing a complete raw image from a computer, probably all of it (rom+bootloader+kernel+recovery, not just the rom)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Veid71:
lmao some things i use some things i dont i never really care to look at the ram in the ram menu because on my verizon s5 i have moar installed and it just says it when i pull down the notification tab lol but i installed avg on it and did a scan and something called demo strap came up as malware so i deleted it and looked it up and people said it wasnt malware and ah okay i see with the reset ill try it with the samsung emergency one and see if that works out if she lets me do it xD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kn00tcn:
what do you mean more installed, every s5 has the same ram, 2gb (i did say ram, not rom)

it doesnt matter what super phone or computer anyone has, people shouldnt install tons of crap they dont use & leave everything always on startup

that dell example i mentioned, it was ridiculous, like 4 different antiviruses, 3 different battery boosters, they were all conflicting with each other, sometimes it takes a min for the screen to come back on when you try to wake it, etc... all on 1gb ram with i think 64bit android (which uses more ram in the first place), after i reset it entirely & disabled everything possible, it still sits with barely 300mb free out of the 1gb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Veid71:
lol nevermind about to rom ram thing but i looked at hers and it said shes got like 400 free and about 300 are being taken up by apps and i uninstalled the lookout app
