What do you mean by "unfreeze" ? :eek: Why don't you just Re-lock the Bootloader and get back to Stock.You can upgrade to Lolipop and root your device.:)

As you said I had done with cmd,, after restarted the device.. my root checker app is showing no root access.. what to do. How to get root access
Check your Build Number and make sure you are doing the right version of the Toolkit for the rooting.

fails in windows 8.1
Try again in Compatibility Mode.

i don't know what's the term you guys use for fixing freeze issue so 'unfreeze' wouldn't hurt i guess. :silly: i tried to relock bootloader , i did go back to stock but my phone is still freezing. i read something that it's because of the ifwi version. i found a fix but it's for kitkat. so now i go to kitkat, trying to root. then unlock relock bootloader again. :( thanks for the reply man! :good:

You are welcome buddy :)
Aha your phone is hanging after unlocking bootloader.Did you erase "data" and "cache" via fastboot after Unlocking the bootloader ?

There is another executable tool "BBootloader-Unlock_Relock.exe" by SatySatsZ which cana be used to Unlock or Relock bootloader.

Reply back if you resolve the issue so other users can also get a clue :)
Good luck :good:
