How to Unlock Your Bootloader - Firmware Version VRALJB

[DaWolf850]

If this phone can now run AT&T and international firmware like in the OP, I'm interested to know how much porting it would take to get a ROM for one of those versions working on the VZW model.
Is it a minimal amount of work, or more work than it's worth?

I might be slow but how do I open casual in windows?

Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

i just right clicked and hit open. it popped up and said audibly "casual"

Same here, as well. I even edited the Odin3.ini file to put a check mark in the "Phone Bootloader Update" box and tried it. (because I'm brave like that). Flash went fine, but the option was still greyed out and I got the "NOOB" warning in casual. Oh Well.

Edit: Just checked and I am no longer rooted. Is it possble Revision 3 wasn't pre-rooted?

 

[bgolden84]

i am downloading all the files now. will report back in about 20. im assuming you guys missed one of the files

Yes sir. This was what i did.

step 1: odin revision3 rom by itself to ungrey button. this was the only way i was able to get the phone bootloader button to ungrey.

step 2: wipe data / cache

step 3: odin revision3 again with pit with phone bootloader button checked as shown in video

step 4: boot into rom. enable usb debugging.

step 5: run casual part. this is where i get stuck.

same thing happening to me..

Revision 3 loses root which seems to be the issue... If you open superuser you will see its not rooted... I posed on Adams revision 3 thread to inform him that it's not rooted (because he asked). He will have it working soon I'm sure... I also asked if we can substitute beans rom but no repose yet

i wish the video didnt have so many edits. i would like the long step by step. idk about y'all but some parts are a bit misleading/confusing. im sure itll all get sorted out though.

For some reason my computer isn't opening the .jar I have tried reinstalling java many times, it just plays the casual sound and then crashes. Here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/7DPGbUbi

EDIT: Uninstalled Java 7 and installed Java 6 and it works fine now

what if we odin revision 1 first then without wiping data / cache odin revision 3... maybe it will retain root???? that is what im considering.

It will not retain root.

im sure adam will fix the root issue with rev 3

Well, I gotta give it to you guys. Incredible job done and a big thank you to all who made this possible.

After reading this whole thread so far I'm gonna hold off from attempting anything until some stuff is cleared up (a method to restore stock bootloader, fixes for the issues people are having flashing already,etc) but I will be patiently waiting. Feels good knowing you guys were able to flip the proverbial table the Verizon execs sit around counting their money.

do we absolutely need revision 3 or can we just use whatever rooted rom we are on?

 

[thedanks]

revision4 or bust.

Pretty sure you'll need to use Adam's ROM. I think he put some "original" stuff in it for Casual to verify to make sure everything was as it should be for the exploit. I suppose Revision1 might work, since that's what he used in the video.

I think, right now it would be best to wait for Adam to fix Revision3 or link Revision4.

I am getting ready to flash but had 1 question: After I do all the steps and have the bootloader unlocked completely, can I then when everything is completely done, use Odin to flash the rooted stock version? I want my bootloader unlocked, but would just like to use the stock rooted at this time. Is this ok to do? Thanks.
