I have a j7 i use on simple mobile, 4glte and its fast all month long and all i do is use it for movies ect tethering to my pc.. i want to keep SM carrier and root it.. so which is easier to unlock and root/twrp or can they both do it, on boost mobile i am buying one.

I had a j3 emerge from sprint and it rooted in a minute, yet my luck it ended in" 2aqu1" as example so it had sucurity that couldnt be beaten i read, so no carrier unlock for it, so i sold it........ anyway i dont wanna buy again to learn i cant unlock or root it, so from boost , bought today should i grab the * galaxy j3 Emerge * OR * moto e4 * ?? Which can be rooted and unlocked OR can they both be equally ?

Anyone who knows, please help

Oh i seen the hwaii sensa for 50 new , that phone looks mint and is on SM carrier already so i just need to root it.. Can i root this HW Sensa phone does anyone know ? I really like this phone i just need a twrp for it and root.

By the way, I know this is kinda late, meant to reply earlier, but I believe flashing the retail oem may sim unlock sprint phones. It's kinda hard to tell, but that's my best guess. The system images are pretty close for both, so I'd try that. Just take the oem.img from retail firmware and flash it with fastboot or in twrp, doesn't really matter. No way to confirm it, but it would be worth a shot.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] MotoJunkie01:
The Moto E2 Surnia and Moto G3 Osprey, Sprint variants, for example, were network restricted due to encryption embedded in three separate partitions. Namely, the /hob, /dhob & /pds partitions. Even to this day I've not heard of the discovery of any user-end exploit or mod which can network unlock those devices.

It seems that Sprint has now steered away from their old methods of carrier locking Motorola devices. The Sprint Moto E4 is the first Sprint compatible Moto device I've seen in years which can actually be used on a GSM network simply by installing a custom ROM. I'll test your theory on the /oem partition on the E4.

Great after i sell my phone , well how can i flash a rom without root ? Is that possible ? Maybe i can flash a rom to add oem toggle on my j727u so i can root it.. i tried a j327p rom on odin it didnt work n i had ap ect ect all loaded in there slots before i hit start.. Nice to see guys going that deep and putting in work to get things done. Got to be a way to do it for the j727u to root it.. $200 bounty whoever finds a way to hack and root that j727u model ! Dead serious

I tried flashing the OWENS_RETAIL_7.1.1_NPR26.58-25_cid50 on my XT1776 (Sprint/Boost variant of Moto E4+) right after I purchased it, and it didn't do a SIM unlock. LineageOS did, however.

Unlock choices

So, I have the Boost e4 (Perry). From what I've seen, there are the following choices to unlock:

A) Load an alternative ROM. Looking around, I don't see any of them are actively being developed... I'm concerned about security updates. Am I incorrect? Are there any stable ROMs, which are including up to date security updates?

B) Have a third party use a remote control app, to unlock it. They use a hardware/software tool from a different vendor to do so. I'm concerned about security. I have no idea what info that tool may collect, that they may be able to use later. Any ideas about this?

C) Purchase the hardware/software tool that that vendor uses. I see that it's sold for about $175. It's not worth spending $175 to unlock the phone. If I knew that the tool would work on all future phones, then 'maybe'. I'm not posting the name, thinking it may also be against the rules here.

D) Probably NOT a way to unlock, but re the earlier part of the thread, the file to re-enable hidden menus is at /oem/etc/motorola/hide/application.xml . Note the extra oem. I see it using Termux, but haven't tried doing anything with it. I haven't even had a chance. I'm assuming that others would've tried it already -- even if it gives us the code prompt, if no one is selling e4 Boost/Spring codes, there's no point.

Any other advice?

Thanks!

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] toganet:
I tried this approach using LineageOS with my xt1766, and I can confirm that I no longer get the "Invalid SIM" message with my TMobile SIM, and it automatically selected the correct APN and network type. HOWEVER, the radio refuses to turn on. I tried again with RR and Wifi also turns itself off. I noticed on both that the Airplane Mode message in the power off/restart menu shows Airplane Mode 'On' when it is not, and 'Off' when it is. Also, with RR Wifi had the 02:00:00:00 MAC address, and my IMEI, etc. were blank. (I had encountered that previously and fixed it by flashing the stock firmware & taking the OTA update).

I think I'm close, I just need a way to activate the radio. Manually doing it by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and turning the radio on doesn't seem to actually turn it on. I've also wiped the modemsT1 & 2 partitions, with no change.

So for now I am back to stock, but looking for a way to make this xt1766 work on TMobile.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ALI12:
Looks like your phone's baseband was unknown. It is due to the new OTA 64-8 update. After you install LineageOS:

flash modem and fsg with erasing modemst1/modemst2 on fastboot mode and see if baseband gets back?

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

normally, we used to erase modemst1/st2 before flashing fsg, but in those E4 stock xml it was added this way, first flash fsg and than modemst1/st2. but still I think both ways are OK.

Sprint sim card not working on Sprint Moto e4

Does anyone know how I can use a Sprint sim from Assurance Wireless in my Sprint Moto E4 XT1766? I tried switching through the Assurance

website but it says the phone is not compatible. When I put the sim into the Moto E4 I get a message saying the sim is locked. I figured it would work since the Moto e4 is originally from Sprint and the sim card from Assurance Wireless is also from Sprint. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
The phone is likely from boost, and assurance mobile is, wel,l not Sprint.

Usually you have to have it activated on the carrier it's from for a couple months before they will unlock it for you.

A Sprint mvno is not Sprint.

You can try reading through this thread.

Flashing that rom works for some carrier's SIM. Read the first post, of course, and the last few pages.

You would have to know how to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. There are instructions in the e4 development section.

You will also need to know how to return to stock if it doesn't work.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ModnSony4fun:
I'm sure this post was old but just so everyone that isn't aware ...

Any mobile device that has a GSM capability with the right bands aka ---~>(signals , frequentcies , radios & etc.) Weather a device has been Sprint , Verizon , us cellular , pre paid boost , metro and etc. There is always a way around everything also know as a back door for the dev to be able to access their own applications when or if it's needed. That route can tend to be tricky tho and after doing this 10+ years you learn to work smarter not harder lol so in a situation like yours for example it's the year 2019 so all bands radio etc are going to work on all carriers. I've never seen one in the past few years that hasn't if anything maybe a light kernal / radio flash modification but nothing out of the norm. What the carriers are doing is trying to "brand" the device and load them with bloatware hoping to cloak the basic apps they use to so you from accessing certain features to aquire such success. My best advice to all is get real aquainted with my old software friend called "CDMA Workshop" there is one similar I'll leave y'all to find is a little better but that tool can work wonders!! With that and adb I don't see them being able to stop anyone from free unlocks untill they are all released factory unlocked which I'm sure is going to be before we know it. Any questions I'm here to help and hope this helps people understand how the GSM locked device game works .

Help!

Hello. I am new to this forum as well as having not much experience with unlocking SIM. I recently purchased the Motorola Moto E4 Plus. The previous owner told me that the SIM card was unlocked from. Sprint and ready to accept my T-Mobile SIM card. It is not. I have researched and tried numerous ways to no avail. Can anyone find it in their heart to help me?

I would greatly appreciate any help in this matter.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] AmazerG:
My XT1766 is unlocked which was able to use GSM carriers (t-mobile) with Lineage 14.1. After flashed back to stock(official sprint rom) and activated the phone with sprint service, now even I flashed to third party rom (Lineage 14.1) doesn't help to use on GSM carriers still getting no service error and radio off couldn't turn it on no matter I set Global(prl) or what. How come, it used to be worked with a third party rom.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Sprint updated. It's not going to work on the latest stock. It's been discussed a lot. It's not likely going to change.

If you flashed the latest stock, you're not likely going to ever get radios working on any other carriers. Custom ROM or any other
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] stormyuk:
Hi,

My few months old Moto G5 Plus phone has developed strange behaviour today, if Auto Rotate is set to ON then the phone when launching all applications which support landscape mode will rotate everything to this mode even when the phone is held upright.

I can fix it by turning Auto Rotate OFF. Does this indicate a fault with the hardware? I tried a couple of reboots but it seems not to fix it. I'd rather not factory reset the phone if possible.

I installed a program called "bubble level" from the app store and my phone shows the position all hard over to the right hand side. Moving the phone does not appear to change anything. In the app its self I can calibrate it and its all fine, it re-centres and works fine in that application. The problem is this doesn't fix it for the phone, just for that one application. I then still have all applications in landscape as the phone thinks its tilted over, when it isn't

Also tried safe mode as advised, same issue persists yet of course I can not launch bubble level.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] suhridkhan:
Go to device help app, Fix, hardware test, and test the gravity sensor. See if the hardware is functional.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] stormyuk:
I don't see to have such an option on the Moto G5 Plus. As I say I have used "bubble level" app and is shows as the screenshot everything over to the right.

If I use the "set" function in that app, it works, it centres and the accelerometer works great, but ONLY in that app, so I am not sure what the issue is, the hardware seems to work, but default has a massive offset. I don't see a way to remove this massive offset.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] suhridkhan:
You don't have the 'Device help' app in your phone? What version of g5plus you have, which region? It would be strange not to have it.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] stormyuk:
Ahh ok, yes I do have this App, it for some reason is "not visible" but will come up as a search.

I will check it out. Thanks

Ok, so the only one which seems relevant is "gravity sensor" but these tests don't seem to tell me a great deal, yes the stuff axis move around with the gravity sensor but no idea if its working correctly. X and Z figures seem too high when its on a flat surface to me. But the letter of the test says "do they move?", yes they do. I think I know the sensor is working, its just not "centred" so it has it appears to have a massive offset by default.

This massive offset by default appeared like 2 days ago, as per the attached screenshot in the OP.

Thanks for trying anyway.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] suhridkhan:
This is what it should look like in a flat surface. And the values should change based on the orientation of the phone. If it's not you should probably contact customer support.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] stormyuk:
Yeh, thanks for that, my top line was way out (full like your bottom line), its as though the accelerometer had a massive offset in that axis set somehow and I cannot reset it. If I was to use bubble level it would work fine but only in that application.

On advice of the Moto people I did a factory reset at the weekend (which I didn't really want to do) but it is working again. Very, very bizarre. I have put all my apps back on and its all normal. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it short of doing a Factory reset. :(

It now looks similar to yours although my top two lines are pretty much identical in the middle and the bottom line full.

Thanks for the help.

Hi!

Altho im new to this forum i will try to ask this question.

Okey, her goes:

I have this S5 Neo, which is locked, im not saying its stolen, im not saying it isn't,

anyhow, is there any way to Root this phone and install a custom OS without the USB debugging option turned on?

I know abit about rooting, the basics, done it a couple of times, but i do not know how to tackle this problem since the usb debugging option isn't turned on...

So is there any root-geekz out there (If root-geek is a term) that may be able to help me unlock it anyway ?

Maybe if there is some program i can put on a memorycard and plug in and do some magic or some way i would be very happy to know it!

Best Regards

I tried to run Heroes of Incredible Tales (HIT) on max graphics and it says that the device is incompatible. But vulkan is detected with other apps.

I guess each Vulkan games has a list of compatible device and as the OnePlus 2 is never listed you can try to instal games but you won't be able to use vulkan and for some other games you just can't see them in the play store (example Galaxy on Fire Manticore)

To ensure if vulkan is enabled or not on a rom you're using search for the app called vulkan capabilities viewer.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] idrabit:
Need a little help with my X727, after i got it i flashed emmc_appsboot.mbn to unlock the bootloader, flashed TWRP and the latest lineage build which was the July 21st at the time. Everything was working perfectly and then a few days later i updated to the July 28th build and the battery indicator got stuck at 50% and it wouldn't charge the phone when plugged into the wall charger. If i booted into TWRP it would charge, but when i power it off and plug into the wall charger the battery charge symbol would come up and then orange LED comes on like it's charging but it's not. Now the issue is i foolishly let the battery run down, i left it plugged into the wall charger overnight but can't get enough juice to even get it to boot into TWRP. Any suggestions or should i cut my losses and return it?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] idrabit:
Update: I left it charging for a little while with no change, decided to try to power it on again. I held down the power button and vol + button and plugged in the wall charger, held them down for about 15 secs and it finally booted into TWRP and is currently charging.

Now i'm back to my original problem the phone won't charge normally, have to boot into TWRP and is stuck at displaying 50% for battery.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] bmac6996:
Had any luck with this? Somewhat in the same boat as you.

Got a x727 new recently. Had the 18s software. I went straight to flashing the aBoot with unlock the bootloader file, flashed TWRP and putOmni first. Since then, battery doesn't update in android and just says 50%. Now currently on AICP.

There are times where if I go into TWRP it shows a different number other than 50%.

Thinking I may go back to stock ROM but keep unlockboot loader and somehow update to 21s and then go back to custom ROM .

Anyone got ideas/thoughts?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] chuchorra:
I have the same problems with nougat roms as you, i was running lineage 21st july update fine and then with 28st july i have that battery problem where the percentage only shows 50% and wont charge.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] bmac6996:
Good observation:

I tested that out and your right. I can install July 21st build on a clean install and charging works and battery is displaying anything other 50%.

If I install July 28th's build, charging doesn't work and battery is always at 50%.
