So Ive had this Verizon Note 3 since day one. Finally unlocked my bootloader... What are the rules on what I can and can't do now. Can I install any Android rom? Can I only install note 3 roms from any carrier... Can I install only Verizon note 3 roms? Or is it a hybrid... I can install any rom...

This thread is mainly created because some of the developed custom roms requires certain Modem or Boot Loader versions, and it also coveres the desire to update and keep the phone updated to latest Modem and Boot Loader. Disclaimer: /* Your warranty is now void. * * We are not responsible...

Hi, Noob here, and this is not Galaxy S6 specific but I thought I'd post here since I at least have one to test. Anyway, is it possible to extract the KNOX boot loader binaries (aboot, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, etc) either from a device, or from the firmware files (e.g. on sammobile)? And then, from...

I've been out of the game for a while but I'm getting frustrated with my phone lately. I'm completely stock at this point with the latest build from HTC. Is there any way to go S-Off or unlock the BootLoader so I can run custom recovery/ROM's/Root etc. without using the Sunshine method. I'd...

A couple of years ago I came up on a third party boot loader for my Ruby in the development or general forum. I installed this unlocked boot loader and havent been able to remove or revert it to stock. I also cannot flash a rom even though I have clockwork installed. An additional serious issue...

My AT&T M7 was bootloader unlocked, S-OFF, TWRP installed, Custom ROM (PA), and rooted. I wanted to sell it so I got a SIM Unlock code from AT&T. I went to input the unlock code and it wouldn't work. Apparently you have to be on stock hboot (which I wasn't since I did the google play edition...

After some vigorous searching I've found out that if you don't modify the boot loader then you should be okay receiving OTA updates. I'd like to root my nexus 7 so I can run some apps that require root access. I've looked at many methods on how to root the nexus 7, but from my noob...

If anyone has an Xperia SP from Orange, T-Mobile or EE in the UK do you happen to know if your boot loader is permanently locked? I know the phone's probably sim-locked but I'm less worried about that. Thanks!

So I was wondering if it was possible to lose s-off once you have it, or is it permanent? If it is possible to lose or be reverted, how so (so I can make sure I steer clear of these things.). Thanks guys! Also is it possible for you to accidentally lose unlocked boot loader status as well?

So after months of trying I finally got CM10 flashed on my HTC One S. Now I have one problem. If I turn off my phone and turn it back on it just stays on the boot animation. To fix this, I always have to flash the boot.img of CM10 in order to boot it up correctly. So now I can't turn my phone...

Hey friends :) I shall give proper credits after I finish this project ;) so don't complaint about that :) I now give u the stock roms which are 100% safe to flash via Odin. I achieved this by removing the boot loader, which is the main reason for any phones hard bricking. So no tension now...

I really tired of AT&T not updating the Xperia Play and I want the advantages of a custom rom and kernel, but I dont know how to unlock the bootloader on my r800at, can someone explain the process?

I rooted my phone after the update. I had BHT tools which I liked pre update. I also installed safe boot then did the forever root. This all worked great. Then I installed Liberty which I did not like. I uninstalled it and bricked my phone. I then did the targa to try to get back the stock...

After trying to update to the Alpha MIUI build for the showcase, I couldn't get past the boot screen. So, I odin flashed back to stock, but in the processes, I believe I accidentally flashed something to the boot loader. Now, every time I turn on the phone, I get the blue stock recovery. I can...

Ive looked around the web and cant find anything thats really close to my problem. I mean, i did find one post that was similar but he was stuck at the bootloader due to another problem and it the answer wasnt ver helpful for my situation nor his. So I've come to last resort. Please Help...

Ive noticed lots of people taking their battery out of their precious sensations , to go into bootloader or that seemingly pointless SAFE MODE . there is absolutely no need to do that !! you can : turn off "Fast Boot" under settings->power and the phone will power off. OR if you like the...

Update: As of 29th April 2013, Relock bootloader file has been downloaded 80494 times! As I already mentioned a week or two ago, there's unlock key in TA Misc after BL unlock. This file removes the key, therefore relocks the bootloader. Flash with FlashTool. DRM can't be restored! Download...

Hello, I am new to all this and would like to know if I can get an explanation of this term. Boot Loader. I have flashed non gigerbread roms and do not recall ever hearing about a Boot Loader. If someone could explane this I would be thank full.

Heres the main question at hand before you read my large summary. 1) Why is my ROM's boot image looping constantly? 2) Do I have to NAND again if I revert to a nandroid backup that was made before I nand'ed my phone? Time for the long, and mostly pointless, summary: I'm pretty desperate to get...

Hi all - I'm orienting myself to the boot loader on my Intercept in preparation for some hacking -- I want to be sure I understand all the various recovery options I have. Plus I'm curious. The Intercept seems to have a "secondary boot loader" in /dev/block/bml2, which appears to be the...

Would it be possible to make a boot loader GUI for the eris to easily select between a few ROM's. Does something like this already exist?

This guide was taken from AndroidCentral and I thought I would share it here because it's taken me 4 hours this morning to figure out why I was having so many problems trying to flash a recovery image when I know my phone was rooted and flashed in order to get 2.1 a month or so ago. I have been...

Quick question, if a G1/Dream will enter bootloader but does not have the three adroid logos on skateboards, does the mean the phone is BRICKED? Would i still be able to downgrade to rc29? I do not have access to the phone to try, just thought someone might know. I thank you in advance for any...
