[Q] Cannot unlock bootloader topic

Hi. I had bootloader unlocked while I had android 4.3 without any problem but PC Companion didn't let me install 4.4.2 with bootloader unlocked so I had to relock it. After that I installed KitKat without any problem and have tried to unlock bootloader again doing same steps as before but unsuccesfull. The message I get was something like "your device is already rooted" but is not. Also the bootloader is locked for sure. What can I do to sort this out?

[Status] VZW M8 Bootloader Unlock / S-Off Method topic

Current Status: Bootloader Unlock / S-Off - NOT POSSIBLE

The HTC M8 has launched for Big Red, and much to our dismay, HTCDev does not allow for us to unlock the bootloader through the traditional avenues.

Presently, there is no known workaround.

Thus, this is a thread for conversations regarding any progress being made on a bootloader unlock/S-Off method for the VZW HTC One M8.

Try to avoid being speculative as much as possible. Please post any updates you see in other threads and on other sites. Also, if notable champions of previous unlock methods/exploits want to post their efforts here (*ehem beaups et. al...), by all means, feel free!

This is not a bounty thread.

[Q] Yet another cannot unlock bootloader thread, topic

I have an unbranded US C6806 purchased directly from the Sony Store Online, and I have unlocked the bootloader in the past, and relocked it.

But now, any attempt to unlock the bootloader is met with "FAILED: command did not succeed" (Whether initiated by fastboot.exe in the command line or Flashtool)

*#*#7378423#*#* ... still responds wih Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

I am running a fully updated Windows 7 x64 laptop, and have tried.

Disabling UAC and the antivirus
Using MSconfig to reboot the computer with the minimum drivers
Safe Mode (Wouldn't get past <waiting on device>)

The only thing that I can think of trying next is dusting off an old XP laptop and trying with that.

BTW fastboot getvar version comes back with 0.5 like it always has.

Dear all :

Recently I bought an Arc S and want to unlock its bootloader, however it comes up with unlock fail. Really frustrated for that... Please give a helping hand:(:(

1. I 've tried the unlocking on three different machines Win 8 x64 Win7 x64 Win XP SP3 x86,

[Q] SIM card unlock topic

Good day to all!

I have a SGS III running JellyBean 4.1.2 (I don't know the stock with which it came with) and I am trying to do a sim unlock

I have tried many apps sugested on the forums and I even tried getting the nv_data.bin with ADB and using a hexeditor but the position specified in the tutorials does not exist

http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...-free-t1718665 (Step 2)

Also unlocking apps say that the phone has a different protection system than expected (otherwise they would have done what I have tried manually)

I will attatch the nv_data.bin, any bit of information will be GREATLY appreciated!

[Q] How do I disable tap to unlock topic

I have the Verizon LG G2 and love it. The only problem is that when I'm on a call, my cheek often times unlocks the phone, and does who knows what. I've added contacts, changed my location settings, all with my cheek and all without knowing it unitl after the fact.

I think it's because of the ability to wake/unlock the phone with a double tap. I'm running CM11 on this thing.

Does anyone know how to disable this?

Got unlock and S-OFF, but cannot get any cell service with any ROM topic

Used this thread to help me unlock my bootloader last night. Temprooted (just shows wallpaper and status bar, no unlock circle), then I ran rumrunner and it worked perfectly. Bootloader shows "Tampered Unlocked S-OFF". But trying to reboot into the stock ROM didn't work anymore. Just got to the same temproot screen (locked wallpaper basically). So I was forced to go forward and flash aftermarket ROMs (which I planned on doing later anyway). I flashed TWRP and then installed various ROMs. Had nothing but problems. Some woudln't pass the splash screen and others would load up, but never give me any cell service. So now I'm on the stock rooted deodexed ROM and I still have no service. Other than that, everything works fine. Phone boots up rather quickly and connects to WiFi fine. But no service! I tried loading the radios in the second post here. They installed fine, but no change.

Currently show this on bootloader:
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
FIREBALL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-VZW_001
HBOOT-1.15.0000
RADIO-1.53.06.1009
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot

[Q] Samsung S3 (cyanogenMod) unlock topic

Hi,

I bought a locked Samsung S3 (At&t). It is rooted with cyanogenMod 10.2 Android 4.3.1. All i was trying to do is unlock it so i can use it with other carrier. So i bought the unlock codes for 30 bucks but later i found out that the unlock codes only work with Stock rom. I am not an expert at this Root, Custom Rom...stuff, but not idiot either i can follow step by step directions if anyone knows how to make this work. I would like to use the custom rom though, so do i have to recover in stock rom, unlock the phone using the code and than install the custom rom again?

Plz help

fastboot oem unlock w/ code topic

one question, should be simple enough to answer i hope. if i get the unlock code to unlock the bootloader will it wipe my phone? the process i think i will use:

plug in factory cable
boot into AP fastboot
Fastboot OEM Unlock
Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery (for the sake of gaining ADB access)
reboot into clockwork mod
enter adb command (adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db c:\
examine the settings file
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='mobile_data';
reboot phone normally
enter google credentials to authenticate using mobile data.

my question is, will unlocking the bootloader using fastboot oem unlock wipe my phone? my goal is simply to enable mobile data so google creds will authenticate. mobile data and wifi are both disabled, usb debugging is not enabled, the phone is completely stock and not rooted, and the bootloader is locked.
