[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weilt:
Hi, (spent some time searching for answers; if this is covered elsewhere I missed it, sorry)

So, I'm a bit late to the party but I went and found a site still offering Nexus 6 "Factory new" XT1103 unit still in stock after so long, and bought myself one.

(1) I love it, and totally understand why so many people love it

(2) I'm a little concerned in that the bootloader seems to ALREADY be *unlocked*. I certainly didn't do it. Did Google ship these out with the bootloader pre-unlocked? (I tried to google this and found nothing; it strikes me as unlikely). And when booting into the fastboot mode, I don't see any entry saying "secure boot", which bothers me a bit since my Nexus 4 has this (is this deprecated and I missed the news?).

So, I assume that I can just download factory images off Google and flash them myself in order to be sure about my firmware (a little quicker since the bootloader is already unlocked, yeah?). But how do I verify that the bootloader *itself* isn't compromised in any way such that there's no issue with persistent malware, say?

(why yes, people HAVE said that I'm pretty paranoid, why do you ask? Have you been following me around?)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dopamin3:
If you download the full firmware image and run the flash-all.bat command, it will overwrite the bootloader and erase everything on the phone. So even if the bootloader were somehow compromised (I really doubt it) this will take care of the problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weilt:
Thanks, I'll do that. On the Google Nexus download page I see both "factory" and "OTA" images - I presume I should use the "factory" image?

I'm really spooked as to WHY the bootloader is unlocked, though, since I certainly did not do it and the box was shrinkwrapped. Does anybody know if anyone else has ever received a Nexus 6 "pre-unlocked"?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
New and refurbished units from Motorola did not come shrink-wrapped. In order to open the box you needed to cut the label at the dotted line on the back of the box. Yours could not have been new nor a factory refurb, not just because the box wouldn't have been shrink-wrapped, but also because a refurbished unit would have had the motherboard refurbished so the bootloader status code would be set to 1 (Locked). A previously unlocked bootloader that has been locked would have a status code of 2, with unlocked having a status code of 3.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weilt:
... :mad:

ok the first time I ever looked, my status code was 3.

I definitely was not the guy who unlocked it.

argggggghhhhhhhhhhh

ok, so would flashing with the full factory image (per the first reply above) be sufficient for me to not have to worry about persistent malware lurking in e.g. a compromised bootloader? I'm not in a position to get a different unit and I'm just really bummed out about this now (especially since I've already logged in with my google account on the phone).

How could I check/verify (some kind of hash) after a full flash that everything is "as it should be"?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Simply flash one of the factory images from Google's pages and all your concerns will be eliminated. But, you're being needlessly paranoid regarding the bootloader. All the bootloader does is transfer control from the low level firmware of the device to the Android kernel. Once it does that it sits quietly until the next time you boot. It has no contact with the outside world that I'm aware of so any malware in the bootloader would be useless.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weilt:
got it, thanks so much for the help!

(I don't know enough about the android bootchain so was envisioning there'd be e.g. enough space allocated for the bootloader such that it would be possible to put in some sort of persistent malware that could be injected into subsequent boots; if it's just a tiny thing (especially if it gets overwritten anyhow when there's a full flash!) then alrighty I'm already safe since I already nuked the firmware twice :)

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] enetec:
Since at last I had to buy the Italian 32 GB version of Moto Z (instead of a 64 GB I liked more...:rolleyes:), I provided it with a 128 GB Lexar 1000x microSD BUT it could be interesting more if I could "remap" (bind...) some folders from internal storage to external one...

On my old LG P880 (4X HD) I used an app called "Directory bind" that worked quite well... but since it has not so updated recently, I tested it on my Z and it doesn't work at all.

It seems working BUT no real remapping has been done. I've double checked all MM permissions but with no success.

So, I'm asking... is there somebody who knows a working solution (eventually by Xposed too...) to successfully bind folders on Moto Z/MM? :confused:

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcoliveirajr:
Yesterday my Nexus 5X got into bootloop (Yes, the problem that mostly ones are getting), I can get into Bootloader, but not system/TWRP, but I can get it booted in TWRP when placed in freezer.

Since Nexus 5x and LG G4 share the same hardware, and G4 is having the same bootloop problem, which can be fixed by disabling the Dual Core CPU (AKA Big Cores) and running only on the Quad Core CPU, probably Nexus 5X would work too.

The problem is that for disabling them is that it requires a .TOT file + LG software flash tool, which I'm aware of trying to use, and maybe wouldn't even work, the other method seem to do this:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)

So I would boot the phone in TWRP and let in there in the freezer, and with the USB attached to my laptop, and then adb pull the files, edit, and adb push again, what do you guys think? anyone with bootloop would like to try?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
If you still have warranty, LG are offering full refunds since the 5X production stopped and no replacement parts are being made anymore.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
That isn't exactly how it was working.

Some people sent in their 5x to some service center who then replied offering to refund purchase price because parts weren't available.

Other people sent to other service centers who did have parts and weren't offered that option.

There was no general policy from LG to offer full refunds for all 5x submitted for warranty repair.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

I suggest you do like the above poster mentioned and try the pre-built kernel that disables the big cores:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/bootloped-hw-please-try-t3505392
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
That may be true, but production of the device has been stopped. So that means that repair centers will run out of replacement parts soon, especially with the various devices going into this bootloop lately.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
The details are actually important. For example if the 32GB MB is still in stock and you send in the phone, they might make you wait 2 weeks then send the phone back repaired (or not repaired making you do a 2nd round)

If on the other hand you know your service center is out of 16GB MB then you can safely send it in and have a good chance of getting a refund offer.

Also whenever you send the phone in, you have the chance LG will pull the fake water damage trick on you. A couple of people had this happen to them. This is the latest:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/5fuy99/sent_to_lg_for_bootlooping_claims_phone_is_water/

In that case, you might never get the offer for a full refund.

This is kind of a hit or miss game unless you have prior information for your service center.

There were people who sent in a 32GB model and it was repaired rather than getting the offer for the refund.

Also it is unclear about the H791 part for international.

Sure *eventually* they will all run out of parts, but the details matter about when and where because some people are getting close to the end of their warranty.

Now if LG had actually officially admitted the problem and said we will refund your phone if it gets hit with hardware bootloop, then I'd feel confident telling people they can get their money back.

Hi all,

I have debranded my EVA-L09 from Three UK, so that I can get faster OTA updates (and also to try to participate in future betas) - I'm now successfully on C432B166 :)

However, I'd like to now re-lock my bootloader, but am struggling.

Whenever I boot to fastboot and run "fastboot oem relock ****************", I get the following response:

...
FAILED (remote: root type is risk)
finished. total time: 0.006s

If I try "fastboot oem lock ****************", I get the following:

...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.009s

I have tried with "Enable OEM unlock" both enabled and disabled in Developer Options.

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to re-lock the bootloader?

Many thanks!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] DCStreamer:
Sorry to bump an old thread. I'm currently having the same problems [MENTION=1250128]ConfusedTA[/MENTION] . Unfortunately I think it's difficult to re-lock bootloader without being on the same firmware that you were on when you unlocked it.

If anybody knows a way of forcing the bootloader to lock it'd be much appreciated!

[MTCD Android Head Units General] rcll:
Thanks for your work on this [MENTION=6124077]doitright[/MENTION]. I've been emailing with Joying as well and the language barrier can be frustrating.

With my previous MTCB unit I dealt with Hotaudio and they seemed to actually get useful information from their engineer rather than infinite looping at the front line customer service.

Hopefully a working recovery can be achieved independently of the manufacturer. I'm willing to test on my unit but trying not to brick it.

Unfortunately I haven't found a successful recovery method yet. But as a data point for my unit:

Its a Joying 8" non-MTC Intel unit with capacative buttons(only physical buttons are RST and POW).

MCU is dated 10/31 "Newlap", picture attached. Interestingly Serial Number in Settings > About Device reads all zeros: 00000000.

I'm getting to the same recovery screen as [MENTION=3296313]MMTK84[/MENTION] with the laying down Android background. It first displays "No Command." soon followed by "Error!".

None of the usual recovery menu options are present to scroll up/down/select. Pressing the capacative buttons causes no change.

Short click POW does nothing, long click POW turns the screen off(short click POW again turns back on), Short or Long clicking RST reboots.

To get to recovery I used terminal on the unit itself: "su" then "reboot recovery". Unit is rooted per: http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/m...-intel-cpu-t3494083/post69648860#post69648860 It also works via WiFi adb: "adb connect <ip>" then "adb reboot recovery".

I have not yet found a hardware key combo to boot into recovery from power off. I tried the 4pda method you found with the RST button, held for 10 seconds but the lights never flashed, unit just rebooted after about 15 seconds of holding RST. I also tried this RST/PWR sequence that reportedly works for the 5.1.1 MTCD units but I can confirm it does not work on this non-MTC Intel unit: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66733286&postcount=2

Fingers crossed for a creative solution. U-Boot sounds promising.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Need4Camaro:
I am also in a slump and unfortunately I actually need to enter recovery as my unit will not boot. I am waiting on the seller to respond and it's been a week and he still does not know. My unit is a MTCD Intel soft touch unit. Long press reset does nothing. Pressing any of the soft touch buttons while the unit is booting up also does nothing. That includes long press back, power, or anything else. If anyone comes across a way to enter recovery for a soft touch intel MTCD unit please let me know as mine is currently bricked.

Boot to recovery with USB keyboard (VIDEO)

1.) README:

As described in my post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69757832&postcount=133, here is the VIDEO how to enter recovery with hardware buttons (USB keyboard).

The device (Joying UL-135N2) was freshly resetted (factory settings), so it is not rooted.

The USB keyboard has QWERTZ design (Europe), but that is not important AFAIK.

After someone modified/adapted the "recovery.img" to TWRP (or similar), or someone patches the current recovery, we should be able to use this method to enter recovery when android is on a boot-loop..... :good:

3.) Feedback
[MTCD Android Head Units General] doitright:
Good information there, but my only concern with this method, is whether the recovery boot is initiated from the bootloader, or from something in the primary boot partition. If it is initiated from the bootloader, we are golden. If it is initiated from something in the primary boot partition, this will not help with problems in the boot partition.

Have you tried using just the "e" button straight off the bat and skipping the alt-print?

FYI: My UL128N2's are *supposed* to arrive tomorrow, so I'll be able to start my own experiments with them. They're basically the same as your UL135N2, but all glass screen instead of buttons that click.

Important to note that YOUR unit is an MTCD, whereas MMTK84's is a Joying (FYT5009).
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Need4Camaro:
I did notice a few things while trying this.

#1 I have absolutely no power coming out of the USB ports. For example if I plug my phone into it, it does not even attempt nor do any other power consuming USB peripherals get power. I am concerned that if this is the case then even a USB keyboard may not work.

#2 when I press the reset button with ign off, then the lights on the unit flickers for 1 second then goes back off. Where as if I turn IGN ON then the units lights turn on and remain on for about 2 minutes before going off.

I have tried the keyboard method for booting to recovery and it was successful.

I have followed [MENTION=3296313]MMTK84[/MENTION]

1.) I hooked up a USB keyboard

2.) Pressed ALT(right one on the keyboard)+PRINT........keep it holding all the time

3.) Turned on power supply. Started pressing "E".

4.) The HU booted and the car logo appeared. After 10 seconds the HU reboots.

5.) When the logo appeared the second time I've released ALT+PRINT keys and began to press only "e" for about 10 seconds.

6.) Suddenly the "no command" screen appeared (this is according to user doitright the unusable recovery menu)

I didnt try by pressing "e" alone without pressing ALT+PRINT keys. If it is so will it make any good?
