[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lekiaM:
The technical process of rooting or unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty of a OnePlus device. However, we strongly suggest for you to only root or unlock the bootloader of your OnePlus device if you are confident in your understanding of the risks involved.

By accessing resources regularly unavailable to the software, you may damage your hardware during or after the procedure. Such damage is not covered under warranty. In warranty handling, we will first need to verify that any faulty behavior is unrelated to rooting / unlocking.

I think this means when you flash a different ROM or Kernel which causes a hardbrick and if you do something wrong with your device that can cause hardware issues. Experimental stuff or whatever.. But it's a good question! i like some examples too, maybe others know:silly:

lol read the warranty that came with the phone
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nicb1:
Recently my phone got a vertical white line appear on the screen that shows whenever the device is on, even if you are in the boot screen and not in the os yet. Hoping that me having a custom rom installed doesn't stuff me over with the rma. (this issue did not pop up due to the rom as ive had this rom installed without updating for quite a while, thinking its hardware either display or cable). Only mentioning this here as it is relevant to my situation.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Orion116:
Always flash stock before returning that is one way for you not to have an issue getting it covered.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I had to RMA my phone after 4 months. The service center replaced the motherboard and USB Port/headphone jack which were defective. I got the phone back today and there is a white line running the length of the display. When the phone is running for a while it turns into two lines and then three. There was nothing wrong with the display before the RMA.

Since the service center said they tested the phone and everything was working One Plus is trying to claim the phone was damaged in transit meaning the display problem would not be covered under warranty. So apparently any damage caused by One Plus Service Centers doing warranty repairs voids the warranty.

There are multiple complaints on the Internet of One Plus doing something similar to other customers. There are also multiple complaints from One Plus owners that the company said water damage voided their warranty even though all of the owners claim their phones never came in contact with water.

Is it possible to relock bootloader without wiping data? All my previous devices didn't require wipe, but I received such strange warning when tried to relock bootloader on Z2 Force Sprint
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] -Mugen-:
I believe you're not able to relock the bootloader until Motorola release a signed bootloader. I had the page once before I'll see if I can find it again and add an edit if I do.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Don't relock your bootloader unless you want a brick. Technically you can relock it, but everything has to be legit. You've already voided the warranty, relocking won't reinstate that, all that will happen is you'll be bricked with nothing to do about it because you've locked the bootloader.

Why do you want to relock it?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jeffritz1:
I would like to relock my bootloader and wondering the accuracy of this last post. Will relocking my Sprint Z2 Force bootloader brick my device?

I'm running completely stock via OTA 8.0.0 no root. The reason I want to relock my bootloader is bringing my phone to out of box status and pass SafetyNet. I don't want to root to get this done and I want to continue receiving OTA's.

I understand that my warranty is void when I unlocked bootloader originally and I understand relocking my bootloader will wipe data (factory reset).

Will this brick my phone?

Can I relock anymore?

What are the fastboot commands to relock the Z2?

Thanks!
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
I would suggest flashing one of the flash alls for sprint before doing it to ensure being fully stock. The command is below. Also i f you ever have any issues and want to reunlock, you always can with your original unlock code.

"fastboot oem lock"

You'll get a "are you sure" message. Type in the command again and poof, relocked status.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jeffritz1:
So, I did a "fastboot oem lock" and it re locked the bootloader. Restart bootloader, shows locked. Restart phone and still getting a splash screen similar to the one when your unlocked but this time it says "Device has loaded a different Operating System". Continues to boot normally into the system without issues. This was odd so I unlocked again did a Flashall w/ "XT1789-03_NASH_SPRINT_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-48-6_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip" and "fastboot oem lock". Both times said the lock was successful. But I'm still getting this boot splash screen with test reading "Device has loaded a different Operating System". System boots but still fails SafetyNet.

What gives? What am I missing?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jeffritz1:
From what I can muster up on XDA I can see that "you need a signed boot.img". Does this mean something and how can I find this?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jeffritz1:
Can anyone who has unlocked and then relocked their bootloader report on the behavior of your phone? Do you get the same "different OS" splash screen? Has anyone been successful at making it go away and passing safetynet?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] thomas.raines:
I've been working on this all morning trying a couple different methods. But none have been successful. But the best I can figure, when in bootloader, there is a message stating that your system is "Modified". Somehow, that needs to get changed to what I can only speculate as "unmodified", or something alike.

I tried 3 different versions of returning to stock

First one I tired I cannot seemed to find now

Secondly, I tired:

https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/how-to/how-to-return-to-stock-sprint-t3694783

Posted by Uzephi

I added the command "fastboot oem lock" 2 times just above the fastboot reboot command; thus locking bootloader.

But upon reboot, I still get the modified OS message.

Lastly, I tried this method

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76850077&postcount=6

I downloaded https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/TMO/XT1789-04_NASH_TMO_C_8.0.0_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Followed the instructions (to some degree) and modified them for Linux since I am not a windows user.

After reboot, radio did not work. No WiFi, not data, nothing. Developer options was already enabled, but oem bootloader unlocking option was grayed out. Now I cannot unlock my bootloader and flash an updated OS.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jeffritz1:
Thanks for the reply! As of now I am stock latest Sprint 8.0.0 July update with bootloader locked. I get the "Your device has loaded a different Operating System" splash screen when I boot up with a "ID:" followed by nothing. I don't know what this "ID:" with nothing following this means. Also when I run a SafetyNet status app is says failed. But, everything else in the OS appears to be working. Google Play shows "Certified" status and all my apps that require SafetyNet is working (Banking apps, Netflix, Hulu, Google Pay, etc...). So I accomplished my mission in getting these apps working and everything else appears stock. The only thing that troubles me is this "Your device has loaded a different Operating System" splash screen and the failed status in the SafetyNet app. Would love to know how to fix this or an explanation on why.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Marcowerjr:
That message appear because you've unlocked your bootloader before, I'm getting that message too and I can update my device via OTA. If you change that splash screen OTAs will fail.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jeffritz1:
Yeah, I was trying to find out if the phone could be reverted back to an out of back state. Another words, no splash screen saying "HEY! I HAVE BEEN MESSED WITH!" like you can on any other phone I have ever owned.

Thanks!

Yes you can , I already had this issue with my moto z2 force in Morocco , so what I did is I connected the phone to internet via bluetooth and when I added my google accounte the unlocking oem in dev option was normal , so I was able to flash roms again . Hope this will help you
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] EddiePR:
I think there is no way to relock bootloader without wipe the device. Also you can relock the bootloader and you will not have any problems. I've already done it, at least with my sprint moto z2 force. the message there is no way to remove it, only flashing a logo.bin, "the boot splash" or replacing the logo.bin of the flash all package by the one of your preference.

So, which of the methods to re-lock did finally work? I was running on Android 8 before, OTA failes for at least 10 times, but suddenly it worked to upgrade to Android 9. Now I am weirdly not passing SafetyNet-check anymore (was working fine on Android 8, GooglePay etc).

Any recommendations? I just need the stupid GPay thing working :(
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] Untouchab1e:
I recently bought a GPSSlim 240 device (from Holux). I actually bough two, where one was for my friend.

However, as opposed to my friend, it wont work properly for me. Ive set Holux GPSSlim240 to use COM0, and ive set the GPS-programport as COM1.

However, when using Google Maps, it just says its searching for sattelites, and cant find any. After restarting Google Maps a number of times, and just by trial and error, it some times work! I doubt it has anything to do with reception, as ive been outside under clear skies.

When using TomTom, it wont work at all untill i get a connection with Google Maps.

Is there any settings, or something that may be wrong here? It works great with my friend's HTC S710, but with mine it doesnt! (ive even tried a hard reset!)

Cheers!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] dirlan2001:

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] jez83uk:
Im also using a Holux GPSSlim240, and i've never got it to work using the automatic GPS settings.

I've unticked the box labelled 'Manage GPS Automatically (recommended)', then in the bluetooth com ports, set it to a spare port (com4 on my hermes), and then just set your software to look at that com port.

Never had any problems connecting like this.

If you're on an official MIUI ROM download this and use mi-flash to flash it. Select flash all but data and storage (if available) to keep whatever you have before.

Otherwhise, just get TWRP to boot via fastboot command (fastboot boot [your twrp image file]), wipe the /system partition, and flash your current rom.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
I'm one of a few who prefer using Onscreen Navbar Buttons and as i'm using them in Leedroid Rom, i need to modify them to my liking.

And as i have seen others with the same question, how to do that, i make a short, quick tutorial, what you have to do!

Overview:

- Second post deals with changing the images of the buttons

- Third post shows you, what to do to change the behavior if you push the buttons (based on xposed)

Disclaimer:

This part is modifying SystemUI.apk. If you make it wrong, or if you flash an outdated apk, your System/Phone might get unusable!

Make a backup in recovery and from everything which is important to you,just in case of. Better save than sorry ;)

So, let's start!

Just want to thank some guys before, for their suggestions and for their input which i learned a lot from:

- LeeDroid

- Mr Hofs

- ckpv5

- xpirt

- baadnewz
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
Changing the images of the buttons

You need:

- WinRar or 7zip

- SystemUI.apk (must be deodexed, the apk from Leedroids rom is)

- your new button images as .png

How to:

Copy your SystemUI.apk from System/priv-app/SystemUI folder to your computer. Now you can open it with WinRar or 7zip. Make sure you just open it, do not extract it! Go to \res\drawable-xxxhdpi-v4 folder, there you will find the files to replace. And these files are:

- navigation_icon_back

- navigation_icon_down

- navigation_icon_home

- navigation_icon_recent_apps

I want the buttons to look like on my M8, so i used the png files from it. These are in size 76x76 and look a bit small. The google images are 88x88. I used an online png converter to resize the png's without loosing quality to 90x90 which is a good size for my liking.

So make sure, that your png files are named correctly, then drag and drop them into the opened apk file, into the drawable-xxxhdpi-v4 folder. Close the open apk window, thats it. Now you should be able touse this file for your Leedroid Rom.

Notice:

If you want the same images as i use, you can use for the actually Leedroid Rom (v4.0.0 svn119) the zip file from attachment and flash it in recovery.

You can also take my zip from attachment and replace the SystemUI.apk in \system\priv-app\SystemUI with your modded apk file and flash it with recovery (do it the same way like we replace the png's, drag and drop the apk and it will replace my SystemUI.apk).

But be aware: if Lee changes things in SystemUI.apk the file may need to be modded again! Otherwise it can cause an unusable System! Keep that in mind please. If you use svn, you can check what files are modded.

So, that's all. Nothing new or serious groundbreaking, but as i have seen the question if it's possible a couple of times, i felt it is time to write some words about it.

Maybe i'll add some pictures later on.

Have fun!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
Change the behavior if you push the buttons (based on xposed)

This part is not really modding, as we use existing solutions. But i asked myself a long time, if its possible to do on Sense Rom while i'm on Resurrection Remix (where this is an basic feature). And it wasn't that easy way, until xposed for Nougat was released. But now i know that it will work and maybe this will help others, thats why i'll write here what to do.

You need:

- XposedInstaller (latest right now is 3.1.4, https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811)

- Xposed framework as in recovery flashable zip from here (at the moment, for Leedroid Rom sdk24/arm64/)

- GravityBox [N] for Nougat

- if you want to remove it, the xposed uninstaller

How to:

Flash the xposed framework with the zip file in recovery. Reboot (may take a while) and intall the XposedInstaller.apk and the GravityBox [N] modul.apk.

Open xposed, go to module and tick the checkbox for GravityBox [N] (or activate the module from statusbar directly after you have installed it). A reboot is needed.

Open GravityBox, go to Navigation bar tweaks, enable the "Master switch" and make sure the checkbox by "Enable navigation bar" is ticked. A reboot may be needed.

Go back, scroll down and enter Navigation keys actions. Here you can set the actions for each button (Home, Back, Recents and if you use Menu). Also Long-press or Double-tap actions. It is very self explanatory here. If you scroll down, you can also set speed or dely for some actions. As far as i remember, again a restart is necessary.

Thats it.

I hope that helps some people to find their way around!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
The no command screen is part of the stock recovery. You can use the volume buttons to navigate to the menu and the power button to select a menu item. I suggest you start with wiping the cache and then rebooting. It that doesn't work, you should try the hairdryer trick (search the 6P threads here on XDA). This may enable you to boot your phone briefly so you can enable USB debugging in the Developer options under Settings. If you can get this enabled, you may be able to use ADB to pull files off the phone from Recovery.

You can use the firmware you need. If your phone is 4 GB you must flash the firmware for this phone.

If you dont know that you can flash the 4 Gb firmware first. See if that firmware is flashing.

As for the SP Flash Tool try to flash with both.

[General Topics] adouglas:
Hey,

It occurs to me this might be the sort of thing that might exist buried deep in some developers tool kit.

I am often stuck wanting to know more about what exactly my phone is doing. An external device which could take reported data on what exactly different components of the software system - including the operating system of course, were doing, would be very useful.

Exactly what data they were transferring and where and when, in particular. The capacity to frankly break various parts by disconnecting them - task killer, basically, but one that that does not run on the phone under inspection itsself.

There is also the need for something similar for wifi, of course. Something which gives much more detailed information than signal strength... I have never been able to find that.

This seems particularly pressing from the standpoint of owning one's own phone, owning in the sense of frankly controlling it (which is what real ownership implies.) So not just having it rooted, but being able to see into the internal workings to determine what it is doing. The degree of technical knowledge to do things goes down greatly when you can really see in there.

It would help greatly reduce the impact spyware and malware, including frankly cyber weapons used by the authorities against their own people, giving a sort of very general and innate resistance. Something which sys admins, I hear, generally quite appreciate and make good use of. One, because the user can reliably and with fine detail monitor the behavior of the phone in various ways, and manipulate it. Secondly, and perhaps less importantly, no software running on the actual phone can ever really be that reliable in the face of being duped by talented malware engineers.
