Not sure if you're replying to me, but I meant bootloader. Fastboot is the executable on the pc that is used to communicate with the bootloader on the device. I am trying to access the actual bootloader on the device. My fastboot is working fine. -BMFC

Hey all, just got this phone, I had originally "done some research" when I was at the att store, and found root instructions for the lg k20 PLUS (missed that plus part). So I bought the phone and now im finding out there's currently no root method, which means, as usual, I have to at least try...

TWRP will not work because the device is bootloader locked. Until we find a way to unlock the bootloader, custom recovery will not be possible.

Confirmed rooted, Wi-Fi working, flashlight working, latest AQC1 update!

Hello, I'm sorry but I dont quite understand your question. Please explain what you are trying to accomplish and try to include as much detail as possible about the status of your device and what you are trying to do. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for someone to...

Look on the first page of this thread, Post #7. I cannot guarantee that this method still works, some users report the email address has or does change, some users have experienced issues getting a code with too many/too few digits, etc... But that is the process I used and it worked when I...

Yes I have twrp already:D its workin great so far... I *think* that its reversible, im pretty sure you can just do <fastboot oem lock (your unlock code here)> to lock it back...I havent personally tried it but that should lock it back. -BMFC Sent from my ROOTED!!! HUAWEI Y536A1 using XDA Free...

I didnt really *do* anything but unlock the bootloader. I was on ATT on my old phone, then I bought this phone, got a new sim cus my old one wasnt micro, then I was on ATT on this phone. Then I unlocked the bootloader trying to get root, never lost service, just kept using the device... ATT...

This is not true. At least not for me, I am on ATT using a rooted, bootloader unlocked device. I have only been rooted for about a week so far but I have been bootloader unlocked since I got this phone. I get calls, txt, data, no problem. I am not blocked from using any of ATT's services, that I...

Is there a way we could move some partitions around to maximize storage space? Im constantly getting storage warnings even after removing some of the bloatware (got rid of chrome and other most offensive apps, some remain and refuse to be removed, i.e. famigo), so what im wondering is, this...

nobreak1970 (and anybody else that helped), thank you so much for your work in getting root on this device! I was attempting to get us root last year when the device first came out(ish), I was bootloader unlocked and working on getting a system dump, and then my laptop was stolen about a week or...

I found this, I dunno if youve tried this yet or not but there seems to be a usb driver there in the downloads list, I didnt try it so I dunno if its the right thing or not, and sorry its the mobile link I dont have internet on my laptop right now, just mobile data...

Hmm...I dont know then, sorry, like I said I dont mess with windows too much. You mentioned an .ini file, I know when I add a new device to my ubuntu system, I hook it up to usb and open a terminal on my laptop and do "lsusb" and it lists info for all devices attached to usb. Then I put that...

Unsure on that but I doubt it, afaik bootloader unlock is not the same as sim unlock, but I dont have another carrier's sim to try in my phone so I couldnt say for sure... -BMFC Sent from my HUAWEI Y536A1 using XDA Free mobile app

I couldn't tell you. I dont think I even have adb set up in windows, I rarely use windows unless I have to. I use ubuntu, there are no "drivers", you just add the device to a file named 51-android.rules, and then it recognizes it. Did you make sure to enable usb debugging? You have to go into...

Hi, I am trying to root my device, im trying to understand this because I didnt think there was any way to get a recovery.img or boot.img without root? How do I get the recovery.img to be able to root, if I cannot access it because I am not yet rooted? I have a Huawei y536a1, bootloader...

Thats what I thought but I figured it wouldnt hurt to ask... Yes, I have an unlocked bootloader and fastboot available and working. Could you help me out, point me to a good tut or walk me through what I gotta do to do this correctly? Im no noob, ive been messing with androids since the...

The bootloader is a secondary loader, an alternative operating mode, normally reserved for oem use in updating firmware, troubleshooting software/hardware malfunctions, debugging, etc. You can see my post above for instructions on how to obtain an ulock code from huawei. This will enable you...

Hi, can this kernel be flashed to any device with a qualcomm msm8660 cpu? Or is it more device specific than that? I am trying to root a huawei device, huawei y536a1, aka At&t Tribute. Apparently I am pioneering the effort to root this device. I have an unlocked bootloader, but no root...

Even with the bootloader unlocked, I have no permission in terminal or adb, what we need as far as I can tell, is a patched kernel or custom recovery or something that we can flash via fastboot, I am working on trying to get something usable off the device, if we could get a recovery.img off the...

Hi, I just bought a HUAWEI Y536A1, and there is apparently NO support for rooting this device. I contacted Huawei and received a code to unlock bootloader. Successfully unlocked bootloader now trying to root. I have tried most of the generic/"universal"/"one-click" rooting methods I have found...

HI, I'm trying to build a ROM for the Samsung Transform Ultra, its a low-use device so not much going on with it in the open-source community, and its been really hard trying to get everything together that i need to build. I have a build running in the emulator and i am just trying to get all...

Can anyone tell me how to add a device to lunch when there is no github repo for that device? Sprint Samsung Transform Ultra is what I'm trying to build for, its an obscure, low-use device, and if I search for it on github all I get is a repo for a kernel build for the device, but nothing...

So now how do I fastboot my device? Anybody? Sent from my SPH-M930 using XDA

F-in' THANK YOU! I knew I wasn't crazy...that's what I thought, too. Man, I wish xda would put up a forum for my device, cus there are only two devs at androidforums and the rest are all noobs...like ubernoobs, the kind that will try to tell you an android phone doesn't have a bootloader...

is there any way i could persuade you to add in the Quick Keys app from the stock G2? I can still assign the quick keys to stuff without it, but i dont have the widget and so it kinda defeats the purpose of calling them "quick" keys when i hafta open the keyboard to get to them...i tried to...

what about other roms? Im using Evils G2-4G rom and i can assign shortcuts to the quick keys but i wanted the widget so i dont have to open the keyboard to get to the "quick" keys...i tried installing the .apk and it FC'd, is there any way to get it working? -BMFC
