Hey bro, did you mange to fix it? If not try this: I accidentally locked my bootloader after installing miui 10 global and my phone is the Chinese version, so it was bricked but what I did to fix it was restart my phone on fastboot mode and then I used the xiaomi tool to unlock my phone again an it worked, if you have the authorization to unlock your phone you can do it as many times as you what so try it and it should work
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] toughpower:
Can somebody explain me a few things that I don't understand? I have Chinese device with flashed Global ROM and unlocked bootloader which was ordered on Aliexpress. I bricked device while flashing the new version of MIUI and forgot to uncheck flash and lock. Now my device is locked and is always going to recovery mode. I know that I need to use EDL method with an authorized account in MiFlash but I don't know which ROM should I flash, Global or Chinese? Also, I'm interested in the method of putting the glass back on the device. Should I buy new back glass or it is possible to put back the same glass with new adhesive?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] hallodrix:
First of all you need to flash Chinese fastboot rom! I did open my Mi 8 as well and i put the backcover simply back, pressed a bit, and it sticked like nothing happened. But of course you got to take care when opeing the backcover, otherwise you can add another +20 bucks to recover your Mi 8 ;)

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] hiagodalmolin:
I'm having problems on my Mi 8 ... I have the Global version of it and I had unlocked bootloader. I wanted to re-lock bootloader so I could make payments on the phone, I did not know that Xiaomi has put new rules and now it's bricked. I can not unlock Mi Unlock again because it appears that the mobile account is not the same as the one I am using in the program, I believe that at the time of formatting and flash my account has left in the mobile. I can not flash another ROM through MiFlash, it appears error at the beginning, error at the time of erase the boot. The only solution I found in forums and the like, is to enter the EDL mode, but would have to open the cell to do this.

I wanted to know if this is the only method or if someone has a solution for this case.

Thank you

What is the procedure for switching over? I currently have SUPERLIGHT Rom on 4.4.2 but some guides said I should be on stock firmware.

Does that mean I should be on I535VRUDNE1	4.4.2 (2014 June)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
You don't need to be in the stock Firmware. Your best bet to switch over is to ask for some member guidance within the following General Q&A Magisk thread.

I never switched before and I can only provide a best guess but, if I did want to switch, that would be the place I would ask.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lonelyastronaught:
Well I think it won't work because the Verizon Galaxy S3 has a locked bootloader.

After hours of reading and testing, it seems that because we only have Safestrap (which for some reason errors/fails when I flash Magisk in Safestrap recovery) we can't successfully flash Magisk.

I think we need real TWRP for it to work.

*edit: Scratch that, it really won't work because Magisk requires Android 5.0 and above.... Is that possible on the Galaxy S3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
Confirm this on the Magisk thread before taking my word for it...

I believe that Starting from Magisk v16.7, it began to require only a min of Android 4.1 (JellyBean).

However Terrarium TV stopped working. Deleted the Play Store App and still Terrarium failed. I went into the filemanager and then deleted the google play services and Terrarium started working again

My questions are -

1) Is there a workaround where I can have Google play services and terrarium work ??

2) I there away of not deleting the Google play Services file - but just disable it - I could not see the play services registered as an app to disable .(which is why I went into Filemanager to delete the file

Any help would be appreciated - as I do not want to have 2 another seperate box just for this one app

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sfhub:
In the FAQ thread it was stated that once you unlock the bootloader you can NOT completely return to a pre-unlocked state.

Coming from Nexus, I usually unlock my bootloader and leave it that way, just in case I do something stupid and bootloop the phone. I run everything stock, except for systemless root access which I occasionlly need. If I want to go back to stock, I flash the factory images (mostly just boot.img since I am running systemless root), and relock the bootloader.

On the Moto X4 is there some sort of one-way tripwire when you unlock the bootloader that doesn't get reset when you relock the bootloader?

Is it really the case that the Motorola factory images that are hosted on AndroidFileHost are not factory signed? Is that the source of the issue mentioned in the FAQ? I saw some people mention they were able to flash those images even with bootloader locked, which I thought meant they must have passed some signature verification.

I saw people were able to apply OTAs after flashing to those stock images. If the stock images (flashed through fastboot) weren't factory signed, by the time you successfully flash an OTA wouldn't the result be factory signed? It is just the kernel/boot image that needs to be signed right? The system image is protected by signed dm-verity hash tree that has to be shipped with any update or reading /system partition would just throw up I/O errors.

I don't mind needing to run Magisk to get around Safety Net while I have the bootloader unlocked, but I want the option to flash one of the stock images, relock the bootloader, and have everything work the same as if I never unlocked.

I don't mind the warranty being potentially voided, just want to be able to get back to pre-unlocked state.

I don't want to be relegated to a lifetime of Safety Net workarounds just because I unlocked the bootloader once to try things out.

Can someone clarify this question?

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Neffy27:
Until Lenovo releases their official signed factory images, the same is not possible as it is with the Nexus and Pixel lines.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] AvenidaDelGato:
AFAIK if you flash a stock image and re-lock the bootloader SafetyNet will pass verification.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sfhub:
I don't think signed images is necessarily the issue. Even if the images released so far weren't signed (which I haven't verified is the case signed or unsinged), by the time you apply an OTA, they would be signed. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the stock (never bootloader unlocked) units to have a signed image after applying the OTA. The result of applying an OTA must be a factory signed image or it wouldn't pass bootloader check. I saw that people were able to apply an OTA after flashing these images.

It sounds more like some flag is set by bootloader under certain conditions and that doesn't get reset when you re-lock.

On HTC I believe they had something similar where verity mode got switched to logging instead of enforcing (in the bootloader params, not the fstab) and you needed to clear devinfo for things to go back to stock behavior.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sfhub:
Based on your personal experience with doing that on an X4 or based on your understanding of how it should work?

That's the way it has worked on other platforms I've used, but I've seen a couple of posts where people say that isn't the case here. They say you still get a warning message on boot after flashing stock. then relocking, and then subsequently when they test safety net it fails.

I know I can do cat and mouse with Magisk and Safety Net for a while to workaround and I don't mind doing that while I have my bootloader unlocked. I am thinking though, I might just get tired of doing that and want to go back to stock and have everything work.

This is also the first platform I've used where the bootloader will erase userdata when you re-lock. All other platforms I've used only erase userdata when you initially unlock (which makes sense)
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] AvenidaDelGato:
Based on both. But anyways, I went ahead and flashed the stock OPW28.46-21 image from AFH, made sure to flash the logo.bin file (because I have a modified boot logo), and relocked the bootloader. Here is a screenshot from Magisk Manager showing that SafetyNet passes without Magisk installed after reverting to stock, etc.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sfhub:
Thanks so much for trying that out for me.

Two other quick questions:

1) did the bootloader stop complaining about boot verification after relocking

2) under play store->hamburger->settings, at the bottom does it say Device certification - Certified?

Thank you very much.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] AvenidaDelGato:
The bootloader still gave an error message saying it has been re-locked (yellow warning text), but that doesn't affect SafetyNet. Not sure about Device Certification as I've already unlocked the bootloader and restored root. However, I'm fairly confident it would be certified based on Google's description of Device Certification.

This conflicts with what other users have reported. Do you mind opening up Google pay to see if it lets you add a card? Your don't have to complete the process.

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

What you typed does make sense. I don't have much else to say. If I get another confirmation safety net works, I'll update the FAQs thread.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Neffy27:
I was going off this post when I wrote that piece of the FAQs thread, I'll have to keep digging for more reports. Though, people who unlock are most likely rooted, and the safetynet is such an easy work around with Magisk. Thank you [MENTION=7452143]AvenidaDelGato[/MENTION] for going through that. Let me know if Google Pay allows you to start the process of adding a card, which model do you have, and I'll update the FAQs thread.

The not being able to go back completely stock is what has kept me from unlocking my 2nd moto x4. 1st one was warranty returned before all these guides were made.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] zeugma_:
Hate to dig up a necro thread but I feel the need to correct a lot of confused information in here. Not sure what version of Android this is referring to back in 2018 (probably Android 8), but Magisk showing SafetyNet passes hasn't been proof of anything at least since that time, as evidenced here. Google Pay still doesn't work which means SafetyNet wasn't really passing.

In my situation on the Moto X4, as soon as I unlocked and flashed the so-called "stock" ROM (which doesn't exist, as it is mentioned above -- Motorola has never released them), initially on Android 8, verity mode went to "logging". While on Android 8, SafetyNet checks (Google's, not Magisk's) passed, and OTA's could take it all the way to Android 9. All of the Android 8 OTA's kept verity mode at "logging" and SafetyNet checks passing, but the Android 9 OTA turned verity mode to "disabled". At that point, SafetyNet checks failed with reason code RESTORE_TO_FACTORY_ROM, and failing CTS profile match while passing basic integrity (here, the bootloader was relocked, not rooted).

The entire problem is that the firmwares floating around aren't signed correctly. I'm not sure what conclusion can be drawn on OTA's succeeding. Verity checks are performed on various partitions and then at different times. It's possible OTA's do not check everything, or that Android 8 or below did not check everything. Maybe unlocking again could help with respect to self-signed firmware, but it would seem that custom firmware on Moto X4 is a risky one-way street with respect to everything that relies on SafetyNet.

However if anyone has updates as of 2022 on any stable Moto X4 firmware with a reliable mechanism to fully pass SafetyNet (e.g. with Universal SafetyNet Fix), I would like to know.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheHamPimp:
Guys, I'm stumped.

My Note 10.1 2014 running 20180202 build YAMR ROM keeps rebooting right after it gets to the GUI homescreen of the ROM. I've tried to do a full TWRP wipe, but when it goes to wipe the data, it reboots. I can wipe everything else without a reboot one by one from the advanced menu, but once I attempt to wipe data, it reboots. I've reinstalled the ROM, and the issue persists...loads homescreen, then reboots 10 seconds later.

I should note that I've been using this ROM for well over a year without issue. It just started doing this out of the blue.

Any clues?
