[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
I will certainly prove it in the next 72 hours.

I will start with a Virgin Device Running the Verizon Factory RUU Version 1.07.603.5.

This is the stock firmware.

I'm not sure about the blacklisted cid 11111111 the unlock code is getting generated correctly.

Maybe only certain devices have that Cid blacklisted.

At any rate if the CID 11111111 didn't work ( But it is Working ) I could always use OM__001 or even METRO001 or any other CID used on any of the devices unlocked by the Desire selection on HTC-DEV website.

OM__001 RUU for Desire 526 ---> Verizon / Other Model == ---->>> UNLOCKED VERSION RUU

[IMG="RUU"]https://s4.postimg.org/6z1p4xkwt/GEN-_UL.jpg[/IMG]

This works only because I have found a way to make a sdcard that gets read as EMMC by the phone

You are right.....you can not write to the Board_Info Partition on the EMMC ( /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

But when the bootloader reads the Board_info partition from the sd card (/dev/block/mmcblk1p1) IT CHANGES THE LIMITATION ENTIRELY !!

The KEY thing is that the phone is booting and reading some partitions from the sdcard and some partitions from the emmc.​

So now you can modify the SD-Card Board_Info and the SD-Card Pg1fs and any other partition you want to put on the sd card and have it read by the bootloader when the device boots.

To gain S-off you have to be able to boot into FTM mode. (FTM Mode is a part of the HOSD partition / Ramdisk)

You can not boot to FTM mode unless you are S-Off

BUT yes the SD Card will boot into FTM mode.

When booted into FTM mode if you choose DEVICE INFO TOOL it writes the pg1fs and S-Off the phone. (Depending on the text File Settings)

The only problem I need to overcome is since im booted to FTM with my SD Card that is mounted as EMMC the Device Info Tool cant access /mnt/media/ext_sd.

So to overcome this I need to modify the hosd ramdisk so that it mounts a partition on my SD card as /mnt/media/ext_sd

If this partition /mnt/media/ext_sd contains the files in the screen shot below the device info tool will work and unlock the phone.

Just have to modify the fstab to mount everything by /dev/block/mmcblk* and not /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name.

Thats how I can control what gets read from MMCBLK0p or MMCBLK1p.

I BY NO MEANS PROMISE S-OFF in the next 72 hrs.

I DO PROMISE THAT MY OTHER UNLOCK POST WILL UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]

I will have a complete walk through of my unlock method including screenshots / pictures of the device states and Terminal output showing each step of my process.

I accept your challenge. ( Please state what you consider Verifiable Proof )

PS FISH BOOTS FROM THE /SYSTEM on my SDCARD.

Heres a link on how to create a bootable sd card. This is where I started to develop this Idea.

http://www.96boards.org/products/mezzanine/new-doc/ConsumerEdition/DragonBoard-410c/Guides/GPT.md/
[HTC Desire 526] jcase:
BigCountry907

Very possible HTC unblacklisted 11111111, or it isnt blacklisted for desire 526, or I could be completely wrong (happens) but that is why I put money where my mouth is on it.

Verifiable proof meaning, I can duplicate the process on the stock 526 I have sitting here.

Method also has to match your originally posted method. If it requires additional software, or hardware, or you change the method then it does not qualify.

At my discretion, I may make the donation if you miss the deadline, or dont produce anyhow, but in that event I will choose the charity.
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
Originally posted method will work just the same.

If you have the device there then test it.

Make the sd card with win32diskimager

Put the card in the phone

Boot all the way to system

Root is already there.

Flash mmcblk0p49 with any frp.img that has the last byte set to 01 .

Leave the sd card in the device.

Boot to download mode using KEYS not adb reboot download.

do fastboot getvar all

you will see cid 11111111

Go through the entire HTC-DEV bootloader unlock process. ( NO NEED TO FLASH ANY RUU )

I guarantee you will get a good unlock code and you will have successfully unlocked the bootloader.

Flash the posted TWRP.

Install SuperSU.

I understand that it is difficult to believe that this works. Some people are full of it.

I am not. Never have been. Never Will be. I am here to help and learn. Thats it.

And this is what came out of my last project. VERIZON BOOTLOADER UNLOCK.

It shouldnt take you long to do this. And then you have your proof.

Many people have downloaded the files already. So it wont be long until they are reporting that this indeed WORKS>

FIRST BOOT IS LONGER THAN NORMAL. THE SD CARD IS SLOWER. AND EVERYTHING IS RE-INITIALIZING

YOU WILL NOTICE WHEN THE SD CARD IS BOOTING YOU WILL NOT GET THE VERIZON BOOT ANIMATION.

YOU WILL GET THE WHITE AND GREEN + THE CHIME + AN EXTRA VIBRATE AT THE SAME TIME AS CHIME AND A VIBRATE A FEW SECONDS LATER.

tHE EXTRA VIBRATE IS FISH. IF YOU BOOT WITH THE PHONE NOT CONNECTED TO THE PC. WHEN THE CHIME RINGS AND THE PHONE VIBRATES HOLD VOLUME UP KEY UNTIL IT VIBRATES AGAIN. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING FOR 5 MINUETS ( THE SCREEN WILL BE BLACK - NOT ON ) AFTER 5 MINUETS PRESS THE POWER KEY. BEHOLD THE PHONE HAS NOW BOOTED TWRP THROUGH FISH.

THE 5 MINUET WAIT AND KEEPING THE PHONE UNPLUGGED IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.

ANYWAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE FISH TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER.

BUT IT IS THERE AND WORKING FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
[HTC Desire 526] jcase:
Currently download stock RUU, to make sure my phone is stock, I will then s-on it, and attempt. Actually just got back from picking up SDCards from walmart to do so.
[HTC Desire 526] jcase:
Charity donation was coming either way. If it works, you can choose the charity, if you dont want to choose one or it doesnt work, it will go to Special Olympics (Which is where i was planning on putting it)

I've requested the thread be unlocked, but I've not verified it.

At this point, every attempt just boots the phone normally including using one of the sdcard models you listed.

As far as cid 11111111 looks like HTC has indeed unblocked it recently, it has been blocked for the last few years, including up to a month ago.
[HTC Desire 526] jcase:
OK I'm out of SDCards to test with at this point, no luck so far. Perhaps I have cheap sdcard, or it is my reader.

I will leave my verdict as pending

I'm going to make the donation either way, since you dont care I will send it half to special olympics, have to Mary Bridge Children's hospital. If proof is wanted, I will post receipts once they arrive (I know special olympics will mail one out, not sure on Mary Bridge).
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
The sdcards im using have V30 on them.

Thats what you need.

Everything will appear normal or the same. Visually.

But cat /proc/partitions will show different.

And when booted to download mode

fastboot getvar all

if the cid is 11111111 then the card is working and so long as you have set the frp byte 01 you will be able to unlock the bootloader.

I will be back tommorow. I wont have internet access for the rest of tonight.
[HTC Desire 526] jcase:
No worries, yeah its not working here but possibly my sdcard or sdcard writer.

Enjoy your time off the internet.

I made donations, since I said I would either way, no reason waiting.
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
This is the card im using.

I just tested it in a brand new device. (Never Touched Before)

I will download the image again and test it again.

When the device is booting up watch the screen.

If you only get the white and green HTC screen and then it boots to android THE CARD IS WORKING

If you see a red VERIZON screen THE CARD IS NOT WORKING.

What screen are you seeing at boot up.

Check the software version. The card will be 1.10.509.4

If you see that version IT WORKS
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
This SD card and the Boot Loader Unlock has been extensively tested.

This is %100 verified working / all controversial issues like super cid and boot ability have been proven.

Please note that if you insert the card into windows after you have burned it that windows will tell you it is invalid and needs formatted.

Do not format it.

The card will mount in LINUX, windows dont understand EXT4 partitions.
[HTC Desire 526] supermaxkato:
Jcase, for what it's worth bigcountry907 method worked perfectly for me. I did get the identical SD card he mentioned so perhaps that's a component.

Btw, you were very helpful with my htc remix so thanks for your above and beyond efforts for the community.

Bigcountry907, what you've done is great! And I'm even more excited about the root potential you mentioned for the 530. Ready to test whenever you are!

Rooting HTCD100LVW

Will this method work for my Verizon branded network unlocked HTCD100LVW (HTC Desire 526)? I don't have any fancy sd cards or anything... What size of sd card do i need? What kind? I don't where to start. My phone is an S-ON With a locked bootloader.... Please respond... I really hope i can root my phone...
[HTC Desire 526] solidus636:
for the record i used a slow class 4 card and got the same results.

all we need now is the S-OFF.
[HTC Desire 526] wassti:
awesome, great progress since I last looked at rooting this phone.

I've followed your guide and managed to get ***UNLOCKED*** in the bootloader, so that's awesome. However, I seem to be having some issues with booting into the recovery.

G:\fastboot-win>fastboot.exe flash recovery Twrp-526-NO-TOUCH.img

OKAY [ 2.081s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) end@Done

finished. total time: 4.878s

G:\fastboot-win>fastboot.exe boot recovery

cannot load 'recovery'
[HTC Desire 526] dwycoff2013:
hey dude, check your syntax there.. "fastboot boot [path/to/bootable.img]"

You aren't telling the phone which piece of it's software you want it to boot from, you're sending the bootable image from the host[PC] to the device to be booted up. Thata's why the response shpould be something along the lines of

[bootloader] target reports max sparse size of xxxxxxx bytes

[bootloader] DOWNLOADING.....

OKAY

[bootloader] booting..........

Something like that, i believe. At least for moto fastboot, that's the return, but i imagine the "fastboot" utility works the same, regardless of OEM

Hope this helps, Best of luck!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Joediver53:
Has anyone had luck setting up their SD card as internal storage?

I'm using the Lexar Professional 1000x SDXC UHS-II/U3 card on my non-rooted Verizon LG V20. I had no problem setting it up on my Nexus 6P. On the LG I only get the option to set it up as portable storage.

Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EROMITLAB:
Not sure you can do this on 7.0
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pan_zhengwei:
does that mean LG V20 doesn't allow "adoptable" storage?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pomponazzo:
Yes, LG, Samsung and many other brands removed adoptable storage from all their smartphones. AFAIK HTC supports this feature, even on their old models that received Android 6 update.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
That's because you don't need it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
There is no need for adoptable storage. That's why it's not there. For pictures and videos, you can choose to save to sd card. Same with apps.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Even if adoptable storage were an option,I'd avoid it like the plague:

Even with the improvements in SD Cards of late,the speed/quality is no match for the internal storage.

If you're running low,use the SD Card for items that don't require high performance.

I believe the initial intent for adoptable storage was aimed for phones with extremely low storage capacity (Android One devices).

Perhaps there's development on adoptable storage for the rooted V20 Community,IDK if it's even possible.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] douger1957:
This. And with the generous internal storage available on the V20, why would you need adoptable storage?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] haris163:
A little bit off topic: What actual speeds are you getting on the V20 using the UHS-II card? Can you please post a benchmark from your phone?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] masondoctorjt:
http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/ this worked on my lg 8x tab and my wife's LG stylo so I don't see why it wouldn't work for this phone. But I would Definitely recommend to do it on a new SD card because of the SD card goes you'll lose a lot of data and nothing can read the card but your phone because it will be encrypted. I also recommend the Samsung evo+ that he has in the writeup.

On a side note, I had a Sandisk using the 50/50 mixed method and it died in a month. I bought a Samsung evo+ and am using it as 100% internal and seems much faster and has not given me any problems yet
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Computerguy777:

Hello guys,

I have a Moto G and, yesterday, after receiving a sms, it does not stop bootlooping... I have tried to connect it to the PC, but it is not recognized neither on adb nor on fastboot.

I have removed the battery, waited a couple of minutes, put it back on and, without pressing any button, the bootloop started again :confused::confused:

When the battery went 0%, the led blink 3 times and stops. Then, it begins blinking again.

I have already tried to press the volume button as the phone power on, with no success.

It has root and CM 13 installed.

Help me please!

Second question : is there a way to a frenchy to have an AZERTY keyboard (real keyboard and virtual keyboard) on a english rom ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gthing:
The AT&T rom has a newer radio version which works only with their drivers. So all non at&t roms have a newer OS, but will have an older (and some people say better) radio.

I believe the advanced configuration/kiaser tweak program should allow you to select a different keyboard layout.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ponch92:
ATT is a US carrier. They have some specific drivers for their version of the Kaiser and some special radios as gthing points out. When I pay my phone bill, I pay ATT. It is just the company that I get my GSM service from. Since you are not ATT, I reccommend staying away from those ROMs.

Hello!

Recently I've been trying to flash TWRP but without any success.

Device is recognized when booted to system but not in fastboot mode.

Tried different drivers, none of them worked. Only thing that worked was flashing it in a school computer so I guess it's about my windows or something.

Nevertheless, after flashing twrp I had a system update which unrooted my phone and installed the stock recovery back.

Any suggestions what to do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] thowersome:
So I stumbled upon the files for the nougat beta program for samsung on another forum that I follow. I just wanted to share this and know if this could mean anything as in a modified stock nougat for our phone or possible even a bootloader exploint found in this beta. Read the original link first for more details.

CAUTION

User

Maherk

from the forum said this on the flashing matter:

"One issue that I faced while flashing the device, is that Odin kept crashing when the process gets to system.img, which meant that I soft bricked my phone.

If that happened to you, don't panic, press volume down+power button for 10 seconds, the phone will show an emergency message, stay there, and plug the phone and flash the file again. Don't go back to the download mode, just stay on the emergency screen and flash it.

Another thing to consider, the zip file you get might have 4 files, AP, BL, CS, and CSC. If it does, then make sure to rename the AP to .tar instead of the .tar.md5

Good luck"

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dualityim:
I received my Pixel XL from the Google Store yesterday and popped in a Verizon SIM. It came with NDE63L. Immediately I got an update notification. I applied that update, and it became NDE63V. Half an hour later, I got another update notification, and after that it became NDE63X. So it looks like NDE63X is not just for Verizon-bought Pixels. Even with a Google Store Pixel, as long as you have a Verizon SIM, it will automatically update to NDE63X. Anyone else had this experience?

Hello Everyone!

After a few months I've updated my phone from Android 5 to Android 6. I had already activated system encryption on android 5. All worked well until a few weeks, now the system encryption isn't available anymore and i can't activate it. I made no firmware update or anything else. On android 6 is no point to activate system encryption. When I set a pin or password for screen lock I am not able to check it for start up. The only thing I do is to switch between two SIM cards (Single Sim) but this should not be a reason to deactivate the encryption without any message. Has anybody similar problems?

So i thought of flashing my device. Followed this post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756609

but the the problem started on specific commands like this one :mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

i get error like this on my phone " Invalid PIV signed system image" and on cmd on pc i get " Invalid signed image"

to check the version i typed :fastboot getvar cid

i got :cid 0x0007

and for "fastboot getvar ro.build.version.full" i got :Blur_Version.23.201.3.condor_retaildsds.retaildsd sall.en.03
