My phone has had an issue of randomly shutting off for awhile now.
Even with every type of version and before I unlocked it.
It's currently on 2.3.4 Unlocked with the pudding ota.
What should I do? Is it necessary to remove all signs of unlocked when I send the phone back to Motorola after they will likely already send me a new phone to replace it?
If possible, I would recommend locking it back up and "unrooting" (if you are currently rooted)...

I actually had to reset my phone and I returned it completely back to stock. The bootloader can be locked again. I completely unrooted and wiped my phone clean. Just flash back to the stock rom and factory data wipe. The unlocked message will go away and so will root.

I've been considering unlocking the bootloader and know that it then displays the unlocked notification on the boot screen. If you need to take it back for some reason and relock the bootloader does the unlocked message still stay on the boot screen or does it go away as well?
Thanks

Sweet. Guess that means you really can go back to full stock. Relock bootloader then reflash stock sbf.

The nopudding4u download that someone posted doesn't work and gives Fail to boot 2 errors to everyone who tries it out.
Could one of you please make a pudding remover that works? I would like to relock my bootloader, so that way my 4G will work. I don't want to reflash an entire sbf as I want to keep my data.
I just relocked my bootloader with the pudding remover... it says that it's failed... but it works.. make sure you flashed the stock recovery before you relock... but I kinda did it backwards... but it works...
I would get Fail to boot 2.
I had to reflash pudding to get my phone to boot.
I really want to remove pudding and the steps provided don't do much.

I'm wondering as to what exactly is the problem with nopudding4u that makes it fail to work properly.
I believe that Failed to boot 2 error means that your battery is below 50% charge. The RSD softeware on the phone won't let to flash if you're under 50% battery.
I got that error and then put my Photon on the AC charger. Tryed again 20 minutes later and the boot worked.
what does Failed to boot 4 mean?
Work it does not, rsd you must do.

Make sure you guys have the right nopudding.sbf I had the failed to boot 2 a while ago when I flashed an electrify.sbf by mistake and It nearly terminally bricked my phone. I have locked and unlocked multiple times using the correct nopudding I believe there is also a stock sbf that will relock, but I'm not sure where to find it, I would assume try googling it.

I unlocked a while back to check out ICS. I then flashed back to stock using the 198_7 sbf and did a factory wipe. My phone no longer said unlocked during boot and everything was good. However, a couple days back I decided that I wanted to unlock again to try some new cool things. During the unlock process, I flashed the pudding sbf and when it reboot it said unlocked. I didnt have to go through the cmd steps and enter my unique ID. So that has me wondering if I was ever really relocked. I definitely had the stock recovery. So, even if my phone does not say unlocked during boot, should I flash the nopudding4u sbf? I ask because I will be traveling to a wimax area soon and want to make sure that I can use it.
Thanks guys.

u only have to put in the unique I'd once. Its like unlocking the door that allows u to open and close it. I believe with 198_7 u don't need to use no pudding, but I have been on cm9 a long time and my memories a little foggy. U can however flash it just to be safe.

QBKing77 has a youtube video of how to unbrick/return to stock. Watch that it will literally walk you through.
All you need to do is download the sbf files and flash them through rsd, it relocks the bootloader and returns to stock

You can do either, a SBF will restore you back to stock rom locked bootloader and stock recovery, BUT it wipes your phone completly.. Flashing just the relock bootloader file wont wipe all the data from your phone.

You cannot have clockwork recovery or custom kernels with bootloader relock. So no 4G with any CM ROM. If you need 4G, your only options are stock, deblured stock and locked ROMs. Nothing else will give you 4G.
Correct me if im wrong but cant you just ##786# in dialer and hit reset to default and it reformats ur phone? Ive done it before nd it returned me to stock, either that number or a different dialer menu

Won't work. ##786# is no different than doing a factory wipe in recovery. It doesn't touch the bootloader or kernel and it's the changes to the bootloader that breaks 4G.

I just sbf, but it didn't totally erase my phone. I still have all the apps that I had on the phone when I was unlocked and rooted. I tried to reroot the phone, but got an error. I thought when you sbf, it put you totally back to stock, completely erased?
I didn't do a factory reset before I SBF, if I just factory reset now will that work, or will I have to redo the SBF after I factory reset?

Hey all,
so I've come into a bit of a conundrum. I was playing with the MaximusHD Jellybean 4.3 ROM. It was alright, but not for me. So I decided to flash back to stock. After a bit of finagling, I got a Stock Rooted 4.1.2 ROM for my phone, and was able to flash it. But now, I can't RUU my phone back to complete stock. Relocking the bootloader produces a **Security warning**, which prevents booting. Now, with an unlocked bootloader the stock ROM boots fine -- but locked, it doesn't boot and goes directly to bootloader. Can someone please walk me through getting my phone back to normal? I've used the RUU before to return to complete stock once before, except I'm not sure what I've done wrong this time around. Any help is appreciated. Also, I have TWRP recovery (latest version), unfortunately without a Nandroid backup
My phone works fine right now -- albeit rooted. Thank you!
Try flashing a stock recovery before relocking.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem here, i've had my HTC One with a 2-year plan @t-mobile but with the stock rom i haven't had any t-mobile bloatware/splash screen. Is that normal?
Also if i flash a stock t-mobile rom it hangs at the bootloader.

Unfortunately, flashing a stock recovery just prevented my device from booting normally. I had to reflash TWRP to get it to boot properly... unless I just didn't give the boot process enough time on the stock recovery.
You can put any recovery on your phone, lock it, and run fastboot rebootRUU from hboot to run the RUU.

It won't "unflash", rooting only involves unlocking the boot loader and installing (flashing) SuperSU... There is virtually no chance this would undo the ability to use StraightTalk, although if it is a normal setting change unlocking the bootloader will factory default the device. Unless it was relocked it should unlocked already, what does Hboot say when you boot into the boot loader?

I have an htc rezound with the verizon lte sim card in it.
I took the phone to cricket and had them flash the phone.
I then did a factory data reset as some apps are draining the battery....
Guess what it got rid of the flash that cricket did. I think cricket uses flash2talk as their flashing service. So do not ever ever do a factory data reset as it will delete your cricket flash and put back the verizon prl and phone number associated with the verizon sim in your phone. I was told that yuou have to have the verizon sim card in and that the cricket sim wont work.
Any ideas as how to keep the cricket flash while doing a factory data reset or when flashing a rom. I am htc dev root with TWRP installed. I am not s-off. I have the beta of the global rom installed and it wont show any updates to the newest rom, even before i rooted the phone.

Hmmm... interesting, never heard of this service... but here is something that might be interesting in the FAQ section of Flash2Talk:
Will I have to pay again to get the phone re-flashed if a master reset is performed on the device?
NO. As long as the MEID (ESN), MDN and target carrier remain the same, there is no additional charge to re-flash the phone.

Also, the Rezound is not in their list of supported devices.
To be honest I just got their sim.....I'm waiting for their att version of sim but I'm worry free as long as I'm on a gsm capable rom

Be sure it is completely off (best to battery pull if you are on a sense ROM.) Hold down vol - and power until you see the HTC screen. It will boot into boot loader.
Sent from my Rezound
Unplug it from any source such as charger or PC...pull battery out and put it back in...hold volume down then hit power button once it vibrates release power button but hold volume down till you get to bootloader.....if s-on and locked you really can't do anything in bootloader unless you at least unlock it through HTC dev website...messing with this could factory wipe the phone
