[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
The reason you can lock your bootloader on a custom kernel is that LG's signing certificate had been leaked (available on XDA too) and it is therefore possible to sign a custom boot image (and recovery) with it. Those will pass bootloader signature check on boot. However, this is an anomaly; it was a scandal and LG has already "fixed" the situation. However, older devices (quite a few of them) can enjoy custom roms on locked bootloaders and they don't even have to unlock...

The other poster was right: it is impossible to boot a kernel that is not signed by OEM on a locked bootloader. Also, you won't hard brick your device, even if you install custom kernel on it: all you need to do is to reflash (not in fastboot) stock kernel and rom...

As far as forensics: if your data is encrypted; you have a long boot password that is not included into "word dictionary" used by brute-forcing apps; and your device is off, I wish a very good luck to even sophisticated crackers. They won't be able to brute-force you. However, your adversaries will use a "Moroccan Police" method: they'll beat you on the head until you give them the password. Never fails... :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beakfire:
My nexus 7 is an Asus device, not LG.

I think most people missed the bus on this one, the idea is to have an alternate signing certificate that matches up with the custom ROM's software so that way you can use the bootloader locking feature with a non-OEM certificate that will be used instead of the OEM certificate to verify the boot and recovery partitions.

Per the read on the way the bootloader verification procedures work this should be possible, but I'm unaware of anyone doing it or that has made it possible yet.

On my Nexus 7 it's running Lollipop, so that may be part of it as well, I'm not sure if the boot verification parts came into play in android until Marshmallow and now it's becoming more strict with Nougat.

We should, however, be able to get to a yellow boot prompt during the verification procedure that verifies a modified boot, recovery and now system partition (with nougat) based off a non-OEM signing certificate that would have to be added to the boot image to verify those partitions during the boot process.

I just don't think anyone has bothered with it, as most people consider their devices insecure once physical security is lost on them or just don't care. However the point of this was to defeat the ability of an attacker to bypass the android encryption features on a device running a custom ROM and provide the added security of a locked bootloader on a modified device.

A locked bootloader is absolutely necessary to maintain the integrity of an android device, especially if physical control of that device is lost. I just wanted to see if anyone had managed to do so on a Nexus 5X with a custom ROM to regain the security features provided by a locked bootloader and secure android's encryption scheme.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
Unless your Asus has an open source bootloader (which very few devices do), there is no way you can boot a non stock kernel with a locked bootloader. I also think you are confusing locking bootloader with Android verity, which are 2 different things. Verity, as part of Android, kicks in after OEM bootloader verification. While you can do whatever you want with verity, you can't touch a closed source bootloader, which means you can't get to that OEM certificate. And while you can replace verity certificate with your 'alternative signing certificate', the same will have absolutely no effect on bootloader verfication.

There is one other possibility which is used in several devices: you can have stock kernel working with custom roms by way of hijacking one of hardware initiation scripts and have it open a separate ramdisk that is compatible with a custom rom. That's how my old Xperia ION with unlockable bootloader can run CM roms.

In other words, there are only 3 possibilities to have custom roms work with locked bootloaders: 1. Have an OEM certificate; 2. Open source bootloader; and 3. Second ramdisk compatible with custom roms. There is no other way.

So, if none of the above three applies to your Asus, then your locking procedure has not resulted in a locked bootloader, which also happens...

Also, locked bootloader does not provide any additional security. It only cares about boot and recovery partitions and has no effect on System. So, if a thief gets your device, all he has to do is flash it in flash mode with OEM official software to wipe everything clean, even if your boot loader cannot be unlocked. If the thief is after your data (regardless of encryption), locked bootloader doesn't help in any way. If government adversaries are after you, locked bootloader is no help either: they have data acquisition software that includes most if not all OEM's certificates.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
With all due respect, but you are mistaken regarding boot states you referenced. Google have no access to OEM bootloader certificate. And under no circumstances it can boot a device that failed OEM certification. All it can do is read the state: verfied or not.

Regarding your Asus. There is no way you can boot a non stock kernel on a locked bootloader. If you can, then your bootloader is not locked and you can flash whatever you want. See if you can get to fastboot on your locked bootloader. If you can, it is not locked. If you can't, you are NOT using a modified kernel. There is no third option.

Locked bootloader security: if your phone is turned off and data encrypted, no one can get to your data even if they fastboot whatever they want. The key wouldn't get into ram until data is decrypted. If your phone is on and it gets into your adversary's hands, he doesn't need to flash anything: he can get encryption key from ram on a live device.

I am not saying the government can break encryption, but that their image acquisition software has OEM certificates I know for a fact, which means they can boot modified images signed with OEM certificates, which defeats bootloader locking...

Edit: the yellow state and the fact that the embedded key is NOT the OEM key indiates that bootloader is unlocked, so you get a yellow light telling you that you or someone else had unlocked your bootloader and modified kernel/recovery; then it waits and if there is no action from you, it boots. Useless.... It only protects somewhat against an over-the-air attack on your system: stagefreight et all. Also useless, because if someone needs to attack you, they can do that via baseband. This is one of Google's "innovations" which gives user a sense of security only...
[P3600 General] powerop:
I've tried to update my HTC3600, by using the "WM6 Official - Any Device" from http://trinityguide.info, and it just doesn't work... I have updated Hard-SPL, and then tried to apply "Official Dopod ROM" ... the only thing it did was to revert my Radio-ROM back to 1.46.xxx (from 1.50.xxx i had before)...

But the OS was never updated to WM6... I have tried a bunch of different WM6 ROMs now during the weekend, nothing has helped... even tried some application to unlock CID (what is it actually ???).

The only thing I've managed is to update my own OS using the official swedish ROM (I've bought my HTC in sweden). And i've been able to update my Radio ROM to 1.46.xxx, 1.50.xxx.. as well as installing different HARD-SPL.

But i've so far not been able to install ANY WM6, or WM5 cooked ROM's .. so pleaaaaaaase help my guides... I'm starting to go nuts over this...

Hi.

My Htc One m8 running on Android 6.0, sense 7 has run out of battery and then when i plugged it in, there was a screen saying optimizng x of 45 apps. When it actually turned on, I noticed that all of my apps weren't updated. Then i went to google store, clicked update all and the meesange poped out saying i don't have enough space. I looked it up and my System is taking almost 12gb, which is weird cuz before the whole optimizng thing it had only taken 10 gb which i still think was a lot. Does anyone why does it take so much space and what should I do? I've got almost no storage for apps which sucks :c Sorry for my english, I'm not from English speaking country.

Hey, just tested this on my H811 G4.

No issues at all, pretty snappy, testing it on Genesys rom.

But instead of doing it with terminal I moved the file with root explorer and set permissions.

Backed up my original file if I encounter any problem.

Hope it help u guys.
[T-Mobile LG G4] gillim74:
Where did you move the file too and how do you set permissions
[T-Mobile LG G4] atrix_noob:
Here's how I did it.

Installation [emoji1]

Step 1

First download the file from here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzM9W6qUvx-gQzZyY3lWY21FRmM

It's from the original post.

-With root explorer navigate to System/etc

And find the file named: init.qcom.post_boot.sh

Rename the file from init.qcom.post_boot.sh to init.qcom.post_boot.sh.bak

Step 2

-Now copy the downloaded file into system/etc and set permissions to RW-R--R--

-Save file.

Step 3

- Find the file named init.lge.zramswap.sh and rename to init.lge.zramswap.sh.bak

-Save and Reboot phone.

Enjoy.

All of these are tested on my H811 Running Genesys MM 4.1.1 OTA with Simple GX Kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G4] gillim74:
How do you set the permissions
[T-Mobile LG G4] atrix_noob:
You need Root Browser for that.

Navigate to System/etc

Long press on init.qcom.post_boot.sh

Find option set permissions and set permissions to RW-R--R

Root Browser can be found on Google play Store here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree

Mine did this too after 2 weeks of having it. Had no HDMI signal and tried different cables but nothing worked.

Spoke to Nvidia support and the sent me a procedure to reset the video signal. I have the same model and it happened on the new 6.0 update.

-> Unplug all the cables and keep the device off for good 2-3 minutes.

-> Plug the Power cable, controller through USB (Wired) and Ethernet cable to the ATV. Do not connect HDMI cable.

-> The device will power on. Keep it idle for about 5 minutes and keep tapping A button on the controller. Continue tapping for about a few seconds.

-> Now leave the device is this state without the HDMI cable for good 15 to 20 minutes and plug the HDMI cable.

-> See if the ATV displays any output

It worked for me, unfortunately the next day the wireless and Bluetooth failed and I could not pair my controllers. 2 weeks of owning the shield and I had to RMA it. I'd like to think it was just bad luck as I'm happy with the box .

Hope this works for you.
