[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], you make a great point on the factory devices with bootloader unlocking support. The Verizon/perma-locked bootloader has been an insurmountable development setback for years now - it's also an ambiguous policy with no clear answer. Is the perma-locked bootloader the policy of Motorola Mobility or Verizon? Well believe it or not, nobody really knows -- not even those of us who work daily within Motorola Mobility. We all know that Motorola doesn't simply single out Verizon branded devices to exclude from the bootloader unlocking support page. This long-standing arbitrary policy would, at a minimum, strongly suggest that Verizon has specifically directed exclusion from bootloader unlocking support. But in fact, Verizon customer support will often shift the blame to Motorola Mobility. And, in turn, tech support at Motorola will blame Verizon. In reality, the policy stems from a years-old contract between Big Red & Motorola. As shocking as this may sound, Verizon does not specifically mandate that their branded devices be permanently locked down. The terms of the contract (which are considered extremely classified work product information) actually give Motorola a certain amount of discretion in this matter. Let's keep in mind that there's nothing Big Red hates worse than customer service calls from a person using an Android OS other than the stock OS. Verizon has actually had the audacity to state, and I quote, that "there is always the possibility that a subscriber [of Verizon Wireless] using custom or modified firmware could, either wittingly or unwittingly, cause unauthorized interference with the [Verizon Wireless] network." (Verizon spokesperson to an FCC subcommittee panel, January, 2014) Although the contractual terms between Verizon and Motorola Mobility are not public record, and thus the exact language unknown, I believe that Motorola bends to the will of Verizon on the bootloader policy. In other words, although Motorola is said to have discretion in the matter, but because Motorola is abundantly aware of Verizon's overall attitude with regard to custom ROMs and customization in general, the bootloaders are perma-locked so as to prevent any type of future tension or qualms with Verizon. (It should be noted that I have requested, on multiple occasions, access to contracts and carrier manifests involving Verizon & Motorola Mobility. Motorola/Lenovo's Office of General Counsel has denied all of my requests, citing to "classified work product information" within these documents. During meetings with the upper echelon of Motorola Mobility's tech support, it has been suggested on numerous occasions that Motorola assumes some discretion regarding the bootloader support policy.)
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
I appreciate you reply and information. However, all the evidence points to Verizon being the culprit, in spite of not being able to read the Motorola/Verizon contracts.

1) Droid Turbo XT1254 and Moto Maxx XT1250 are the exact same phones, down to the FCC ID. They are identical twins in every way. Moto Maxx, sold by a half dozen carriers at the very least. Free bootloader unlock code. Droid Turbo, sold by Verizon. Locked down.

With Moto X Force/Droid Turbo 2 they aren't identical FCC ID phones, but they are fraternal twins. Same thing.

2) Non-Motorola example: Google Pixel phones.

Google Play store Pixel models, easily unlocked bootloader. VERIZON models, bootloader locked down.

I rest my case.

Its like when when the 2nd jet hit the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001.

One plane? An accident, maybe. (Reports it was a small private plane and the pilot had a heart attack were still being discussed -- until the 2nd plane came out of nowhere and crashed into the 2nd tower.)

When the 2nd jetliner hit 20 minutes after the first, suddenly everyone knew in an instant it was terrorism.

Google Pixel phones are the 2nd plane hitting the tower. It's Verizon, not Motorola -- and Verizon demands it for ALL the phones they sell.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
I've always blamed Verizon. And still do. If not for specific clauses in their contract with Motorola, despite Motorola's discretion, Verizon branded devices would certainly not be locked down. . I've worked for Motorola Mobility nearly eight years now, and this is a hush-hush subject for sure. I've tried for years to get answers on this, from within the very company who manufactures these devices, and I'm no closer to knowing now than I was eight years ago.

One thing is clear though: Verizon branded devices suck. I boycott them every opportunity I get. I'm still entitled to my opinion, contracts or not.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amateurhack:
I think this thread was supposed to be about a bounty for getting root for the Verizon Droid Turbo 2. The debate about whether it's Verizon's or Motorola's fault that the bootloader is locked and we can't get it unlocked could probably be, and it has been, discussed more appropriately in a different thread. I'm sorry I stated my fact-based opinion on the matter in the first place.

Tell you what, I was hoping the infor!mation might shed a little light on the thread topic. But it obviously was not information anybody wanted to hear. So not only do I apologize for posting, but also assure you guys it won't happen again. Sorry [MENTION=6473170]CrashXXL[/MENTION] but I don't understand what you said. I've never worked in middle management; however, regardless of one's position or department, requests for information or access to contractual documentation must all be requested, in writing, to the Office of General Counsel. In addition to internal SOP, requests are also considered under the federal and state adoptions of the freedom of information act, and an open records act cited simply as Chapter 31 (state statute).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X-enomorph:
So I have my i9300 for a couple of years now and everything worked fine until I moved to Germany a couple of weeks ago (I come from Bosnia and Herzegowina). The phone was bought in Bosnia and I have a SIM card from the bosnian telecom (BH-Telecom) which worked fine. Then I bought a SIM card here (congstar) and my phone couldn't use it because of the network SIM prompt. I realised that that feature was kind of "blocked" (sorry but it's the first time I'm doing this) so I had to unlock it. I tried installing various versions of stock ROMs (including all German) via Odin on my phone, but everything stayed the same. I found this app:

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock

But it said that I had to root the phone and after I did that also to change my IMEI which changed during the hole operation. Fortunately, I wrote it down before. But I can't change this "new" one to the old in order to get the "simunlock" app working. I used:

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.imeichanger

and

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoneinfo.changer

But after I write down my old IMEI and click Apply I reset the phone (as the popup says in both apps) and type *#06# the IMEI stays the same. Not only there, but in all other apps that I used. And well, my old SIM doesn't work either. My phone shows that "blocked SIM" icon for both SIMs.

Please, for the love of God someone help to at least make my old SIM working. Unlocking my phone completely would be amazing.

Help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Firstly, you cannot unlock it if it has ever been on 4.2 or higher. The old method was nvdata edit but it is obsolete on updated phones.

The quickest cheapest way is to take it to a phone shop and pay.

You need to be on the stock rom that came with the device from factory.

[Ascend Mate 7 Accessories] RobboW:
From which ROM?
[Ascend Mate 7 Accessories] *alifo*:
For emui 3.1 (android 5)

[Ascend Mate 7 Accessories] RobboW:
I'll see if I can upload it later tonight if nobody else has between now and then. I'm on B331.

There could be restrictions on which ROM the app works with, for instance if it comes from B331 it may not work in MM with a requirement for minimum android version, despite the actual app being the same.

Edit:

Here you go, zipped.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] wpbcubsfan:
Not sure if this is a "feature" of Marshmallow or if it's just being blocked somehow via Touchwiz but when I open an incognito tab in either Chrome or Chrome Beta I no longer have the option to "close all incognito tabs" in my notification shade. I had this option on every phone prior including my S6E.

Anyone else experiencing the same?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] wpbcubsfan:
Well I figured it out myself. Under settings in Chromse go to to "Merge tabs and apps" and switch it to on. Don't recall having to do that before but whatever, it now works as it used to.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherif Abdl-Naby:
Hello,

I Was wondering if there is any method where i can patch the Concept MM ROM so the cell radio can work, i flashed the rom before, and it was working perfectly except the cell radio.

so, i was wondering if there is any patch/method i can work on or start from so i can fix this issue.

I've searched the web for a solution but it seems no body tried this before, however there were some small patches that came with some CustomROMS to make the custom rom work on the Dual D66633 Model, so i think it is a possible task to patch the Concept ROM, Even if it means leaving the duality functions and work with 1 sim only.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyllery:

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew05:
Hello !

I have a problem with my neighbours tablet. I think he made an update when the battery was to low because the tablet was freezing at ASUS logo and nothing more. I took it to try to resolve the problem. I have read all over the internet for ways to repair it but I think I made it worst. Before I could get in droidboot menu (even when the android logo with an exclamation sign and a message that said "No command" I pressed VOL+ and VOL- simultaneously I could enter and choose the options that were in that menu). Anyway, I tried different methods like : Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.4 (I couldn't unlock bootloader), fastboot commands using cmd, Intel Android Devices Root and others (I can't remember now, because I'm at work...). The last one did something to the tablet (Intel Android Devices Root) : after trying several times I managed to do something different because the tablet was showing other commands on it's screen. After I left it to install the firmware from the pc (I used adb sideload command) it has ended with a black screen with a killer message : fastboot starting / fastboot starting #1 / fastboot starting #2 / fastboot starting #3. From now I don't know what to do anymore because I searched over the internet and they are few links for resolving this problem. I will try in this evening again with adb commands (if I write "adb devices" no devices are shown in the list - I will search also for this problem, even though when I use fastboot devices command its showing me a result.)

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, if I made mistakes.

Andrei.

[K3 Note General] Phat Phreddy:
Anyone else ??

Been offered the update.. I am ready to jump ship from this phone due to the sluggish memory handling.. Praying Marshmallow would get me to autumn for the next nexus.
[K3 Note General] Phat Phreddy:
Well that was a mess.. Stock ROW rom updating..

Gets to 49%.. appears to hang.. I checked online and a few flash instructions says thie happens, but doesnt say wait or not.. I wait for ages.. like 20 plus minutes without any change from 49%.. then just as I was going to pull the battery.. it reboots..

Then it (very slowly) boots and updates my apps.. To then crash google play services, have some android.com. error with a loop you cant escape.. Reboots same..

Recovery.. Delete user data.. Reset.. And finally up..

Still a few bits of junk and games in that ROW rom.. Strip that out and google now launcher and its clean enough for me.

Phone actually nice and fast now.. Unsure how much is the reset and how much is the M update.. Still at least its useable and good for a bit more life.

Some things is wrong with wifi power usage.
[K3 Note General] m.radhe:
My only concern is wifi power usage.
[K3 Note General] Hitman:
Yes the wifi is consuming same amount of power as display, which was not in LP, but the same time the display power usage has decreased about half,

And as i figured out the wifi is draining more power is because of always scan on, you can Turn it off from wifi setting by going into advance wifi setting.
[K3 Note General] m.radhe:
I tried both SMART and `ONLY WHEN PLUGGED IN`

both option does not work for me.

Odd thing is that power consumption details shows that its been used for 0ms
[K3 Note General] Hitman:
i am not saying about the wifi sleep setting,

just turn of the "alwaya scan" setting in advance wifi setting
[K3 Note General] m.radhe:
Yes bro. `scanning always available` is turned off. (by default)

is there any way to fix this? some threads related to this were closed and some download links were broken.
