Voiding warranty for unlocked bootloader is illegal in the US, according to Colton. If you need to send it back for repair for whatever reason they are legally obligated to not care, according to what he said.

EDIT: If you want to relock bootloader, I believe you boot to fastboot and issue "fastboot oem lock" and let it do its thing. Like unlocking, relocking will do a factory reset.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] blakegriplingph:
Is it possible to relock the bootloader for let's say warranty purposes?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] kal250:
fastboot oem lock will relock the bootloader, I am getting mixed results from my searches some are claiming it resets the warranty flag as well on different devices, I'm entirely way too tired to try it right now, but I'll relock in the afternoon and get back with results, you can always try just fastboot getvar all, after you relock it will say warranty yes or no(if you don't want to wait on me lol)

v6.6?

do these methods work with v6.6 of the OS?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] jasonmerc:
As of now I don't think so. We're working on potential ways to downgrade people from 6.6 to 6.5 or 6.4 so it can be used.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
yeah I am waiting on my new device to come so that i can look into it.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] gotcha640:
Thanks for the walkthrough videos. Only part I'm not clear on is if order matters. I'm expecting the phone to arrive Sunday or Monday, and I'd like to have the full process from box to rooted, unlocked, ads removed, bloat removed in mind before I start messing with it.

All of this seems to assume it's on 6.1 or 6.4. I won't get online before I confirm version.

The videos in the OP of this thread seem to suggest root, unlock, then remove ads. This seems to be the right order if I want it all.

The ad removal thread seems to show flashing the ad and OTA removal straight out of the box, root and unlock optional.

I'm not clear what the debloat file does, or when in the process I would use it.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
I finally have an answer to this question.

Yes the warranty flag can be reset. You need to re flash the "seccfg" partition to a backup made before unlocking bootloader. You can do this in spft. If there is any interest I can upload my backup if you don't have one
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
IN case you ere looking to unlock boot loader on 6.6 . The new method is not as easy as it used to be but still not too hard. follow on this other xda thread here

Splashtool doesn't work with zip files, you have to unzip what ever you are trying to flash through splashtool.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
Did you perhaps do an over-the-air update of your phone? If so, the update disables SP Tool.

If you did already update your phone, refer to this thread: https://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/how-to/blu-r1-hd-v6-6-dirtycowed-f-amazon-root-t3490882
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Letitride:
I just used the R1 HD Amazon 16G w. the v7.4.2 firmware. As suggested above, use the dirty-cow-tool but first, make sure you install ADB properly with the R1 HD device drivers correctly & tested ... if you can run the "fastboot device" command and it replied - you should be good. (Confirm under device drivers - you have Android Composite ADB Interface & it is MediaTak

Make sure you've backed up any important pictures, documents, user data first and/or have them saved to your Google account to easily restore, as it's best to do a full factory reset, wipe clean & proceed. Be patient as you run each of the 4 *.bat file commands from your command prompt - you might see some error messages, it's okay - doing the work for you, let it run for an extra minute, then go onto the next batch option. Your R1 HD will reboot & re-start, continue with batch #5 to install SuperSU (you will probably want to update that as well later on to the latest ... once it's setup & running)

To get rid of the ads & other bloatware, continue with the optional batches - or, you can pause & check your results before reconnecting it again and re-run the extra optional steps. When you are finished, TWRP should be readily accessed and plain home/lock screen, no ads and a relatively clean stock Android 6.0 - wireless/OTA update removed & disabled.

There is a clean v7.4.2 recovery/install zip file that you can flash from TWRP, first copy to your device - wipe/factory reset and then flash - boot it up and it's a nice & clean rom - but, without the ads & pop-ups, and wireless/OTA updated enabled ... bootloader remained unlocked and the pre-loader previously already rolled back while running the dirty-cow-tool batch.

Be sure to use the stock/oem BLU usb cable as generic or other cables might result in errors and/or change to another USB port. ADB debugging should be enabled (under R1 HD's developer's option within Settings).
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
You are .mostly correct. Except the dirty cow unlock scrips do not roll back preloader.

Its running android 6.0, what do your recommend my next course of action be to unlock, root and remove amazon stuff from phone? Whats the best fastest rom for this device? Or Should I update to 6.1 or later? Id like the cleanest purest and fastest android experience.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] jasonmerc:
If you just got it chances are you can't root it or unlock the bootloader. You can try KingRoot to MAYBE get root, but even if that were to work that would be the most you'd get
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] nmelkon1:
its on android 6.0 tho
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Everyone keeps making that same mistake. It's not the Android version that matters. It's the build version. You need to know the build version number. If the build number is between 6.1(original release) and 7.4.2 you can still unlock. But if it is on 8.1 through 8.5 (latest builds) then you are stuck.

Those are the prime version numbers.

If you got the non-prime version V12 through v17 you can root and unlock but uncertain about v21.

All the versions have been made available on this forrum , once you have unlocked bootloader. The key is unlocking bootloader, then you can install twrp.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
It's not possible. It is not that no one wants to do it, it's because Blu has modified the ROMs to disable SP Flash Tools and they have fixed all known exploits. Unless some previously unknown exploit is discovered - NOT likely - the phone can no longer be rooted.

And now that the phone is no longer being manufactured and the Blu-specific source code needed to run other ROMs, like Lineage, with all hardware working is not available - there is little to no developer interest in this phone. Sorry - you either bought it too late or updated it past the point that it could be rooted. I do not know if any of the current line of Amazon ad-supported phones can be rooted. They are not intended to be because Amazon loses money on each one that has the ads disabled.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] MianP.R:
Ok I understand, I did not know about that. It's true, I should not update. Thank you very much for your great help. I thank you my friend
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] MianP.R:
Me again, there will be no way to make a downgrade? I just want to make sure there's nothing to do

thank you very much
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
No, unfortunately not. You could downgrade the Marshmallow ROM to an earlier version but you can not downgrade the bootloader which will still be locked and not rootable. Why? Because when you updated your phone, you installed a newer bootloader in which Blu has disabled the tools and fixed the exploits that previously made it possible to replace or downgrade the bootloader.

Blu screwed up by not properly securing the earlier versions of the phone allowing some of the clever people here to root it, but Blu patched all those holes in the recent updates - no doubt due to pressure from Amazon. The $60 rootable phone is now history.

Hi everyone. I am new to the site and the forum. I can't express how grateful I am to all the contributors... I have been doing a fair amount of reading. Still haven't been able to find answers to some questions.

I have an S4 with OF1 ROM. I have been able to root it using KingRoot. I have recently moved to the UK.

My questions are:

1. My phone never picks up a 4G signal, even in areas where my wife's phone does. How can I get around this problem?

2. How do I get rid of the annoying "SIM is not from Verizon" message?

From the author

"This freeware application allows you to quickly export contacts from WM6 into a comma separated file (csv) for easy import into Mozilla Thunderbird 2.

I created this application for 2 reasons:

1. I could not find a decent contacts export application for WM6.

Those I did find required online sign-up with a sync site or involved multiple steps to do the export.

2. Once I exported contacts (in csv format) for the purpose of

importing it to Thunderbird, I found that matching the columns in

Thunderbird to be a nightmare process which discouraged me completely.

I was just looking to copy all my WM6 contacts to Thunderbird. Yes, I know that syncing would be a better solution, but I found that once you have the bulk of your contacts in Thunderbird it is easy to maintain current and add new contacts."

Decided to wipe the dust of my Ultra Tablet and upgrade to Remix 2.0. Was playing around after rooting it and I never did a nandroid backup. I had to flash 1.5 from fast boot and upgrade to 2.0 and then put cwm and root all over again. can't believe no one made a flashable zip of 2.0 So I made one. Haven't tried with the stock recovery but I'm almost certain you have to have a custom recovery to flash this. The zip is based off a test build I got from jide for 1.5 just added the stuff for 2.0 seems to be working fine for me but use at your own risk.

I'll also include a link to an old CWM and Philz Touch I compiled. The CWM recovery can be flashed.

Philz touch can only be booted through fastboot as it is too large to flash and I don't have my Linux box to really try and get it to compile at the right size

Hey, saw your old post on the flashable zip(s) for the Jide Ultratablet. Not sure if you still use it. I've got mine rooted and have been tinkering with it, didn't realize there was a custom recovery for it. I'd love to flash CWM and back things up just in case. I also see you shared a "stock" 2.0.305.

I should be able to flash the CWM through Fastboot and then if I ever wanted to return to latest stock I could use that flashable 2.0.305 zip?

THANKS!
[Remix Ultratablet General] majinvegeta3886:
You should be able to flash the recovery through fastboot. Or you could just boot into the recovery using fastboot boot recovery then the path to the recovery img file. Then yes you would be able to use this to flash back to stock. Not sure but I think I included the stock recovery when you use this to flash back to stock.
[Remix Ultratablet General] Bwangster12:
