Hey guys i managed to root my tab 10.1v and chuck on the 10.1 firmware with honeycomb 3.1. It became abit laggy so i decided to chuck the stock firmware which i googled and found out to be the P7100BUKDF.zip file which has the 3 files
-BOOTLOADER_P7100BUKC8.tar.md5
-MODEM_HRI83_BUKDF_REV_03.tar.md5
-PDA_SIGNED_HRI83_BUKDF.tar.md5
Chucked my tab onto download mode and loaded up those files onto Odin and after a few mins, done. Back to the old school stock rom. But what i need help in is to re-lock to the bootloader if its possible. OR to get that padlock (image) from the bottom of the booting screen to dissapear. Or even better yet, replace it with the stock image one if possible. If anyone knows how to do this i will really appreciate it heaps
Hey Yam777,
Have you tried "fastboot oem lock" ?
I recently unlocked my bootloader in order to root, and then locked it with the above command.
(Use bcmobile's thread as a reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064793 )
GENIUS!
Thanks heaps! Yea all i did was change the unlock to lock and now the padlock is gone

sorry if i am asking a question asked for too many times already,but i can't seem to find a solution to my case,or either the thread is no longer active since the TS did not update his results,thus making me confused if he hassuccessfully or unsuccessfully rooted his atrix
i'm using atrix mb860 ofw 2.3.4.and i'm trying to install neutrino 2.2 rom gt
so here are what i had done until now:
1.rooted my atrix using Pete's One Click Root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258599
2.installed titanium backup and backed up batch of everything.superusered.
3.Installed cwm from market and got superusered.
4.flashed cwm recovery for atrix 4g
5.tried to install romracer using cwm.selected to restore previous roms and also chosen both wipes but failed.atrix reboots and shows "failed to boot , starting rsd mood"
what my concern is about,is just "rooting" enables me to already install roms?if it does,what did i do wrong in my steps?if it does not,please show me the way.i do not know if i should or should not flash my sbf files and bootloader
also,i read that to show that my atrix is rooted,it shold show at the top right corner during boot.but i don't see any
please help me because i really don't know what i'm doing here.i'm still new and the guides provided by the developers are for experienced people.it does not provide the detailed steps.also,please do explain some of the terms used like what is the difference between rooted and unlocked devices.
if you are too tired to explain everything all over again,then just give me the required links.i'll learn my way.btw,if you are able to give me a working link,and updated threads that would be very hopeful since some don't re-edit their first post,thus needs us to find the answer in a 1000++ replies
thank you in advance
You need to unlock your bootloader. The text you're referring to in the upper left corner of the Motorla screen is "unlocked" and it only appears after you unlock.
You can do it manually. See here.
Or automatically. See here.
You CANNOT install a CWM without unlocking your bootloader first. Rooting does not let you install ROMS, unlocking the BL does.
thanks for the reply.so that's what i'm missing.is it necessary to flash my sbf?and since neutrino rom gt changes my kernel(i think).
so after unlocking my bl,i can then install romracer->neutrino then?i'll update again and see what happens

Yes, the pudding unlocker is a small 10mb sbf file. After flashing that with RSD, you'll run the fastboot oem unlock commands.
The kernel (boot.img) is completely different from the bootloader. (if I'm reading your ? correctly).
Correct: Unlock BL>install romracer CWM> BACKUP! > install your ROM of choice
okay,this is starting to get on my nerves.i went to pudding,then scrolled down to "RSDLite/Windows Drivers/Sbf_flash"->go to hxxp://goo.gl/vfUXc link->tried but failed as it's for at&t.mine is international then.just great!
went back topudding's thread.read again..."unlock"...YES!solution for international phone!heck,this is an sbf file,what am i going to do with an sbf file?if it's just copy and paste,that will be easy.
ok,so what i really need now is a real solution to an international atrix and not at&t's atrix.or is there actually another thread for just international atrix?i just don't understand at all.please help

Ck the earlier videos that he has posted on unlocking the atrix, helped me quite a bit.
FINALLY DID IT!now to install neutrino gt!thanks for all your help guys!.this guide was indispensable:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
a new question : how do i install romracer?the guide did say to install itbut i don't see the app?
nvm,finally able to install neutrino.thanks a lot guys!now where's the close thread button...
no wait,again another problem!i wanna ask at neutrino's thread but this stupid 10 posts rule is preventing me.so i need to ask here.after installing neutrino,my internal memory is left with 2gb only.where is the other 8gb?when i plugged into usb,i did find them.
to note,i used cwm to install neutrino gt.the zip file was in internal.does that have anything to do with it?any way to get it back?do i need to flash neutrino again?if so,please teach me
also,how to get the market back?
My brother gave me two of his phones because he wants me to sell them on ebay for him: a Samsung Galaxy Note and a Samsung SII. I factory reset both devices and when they both restarted, it got stuck at the AT&T screen. I was baffled as to what was going on, so I asked him and he mentioned that he remembers removing TouchWiz because he had another launcher installed.
Is there a way I could restore TouchWiz on both of these devices? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
I don't have any links, some searching, and reading are needed on your part.
Have adb installed on your pc.
Hope the phones have an unsecured kernel flashed.
Boot into recovery.
Adb push touchwizlauncher.apk /system/app.
Otherwise you'll have to flash an entire stock package... you have no launcher so the phone doesn't have anything to do once android starts.
It's like all the racers are on their marks and set... but the dude with the starter pistol didn't have any caps... so they just sit there waiting.....
Where can I download an entire stock package if I choose to do it that way?
Thanks for your reply.
there may be a link or 120000 in this thread
Thanks for all your help, Cris, but I found what I needed in this thread: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...-twlauncher-deleted-phone-bricked-solved.html
I downloaded the stock TouchWiz for both of my devices from that SamMobile site and flashed the phone using Odin.
I hope this helps someone in the same situation.
Hi there, just before I start, I want to thank anyone that offers any help what so ever. Thankyou.
Ok, I have a HOX+ and rooted my phone not along ago and I am on not on any custom rom and used cwm not twrp (unfortunatley)
Ok so I got the official update notification from google today,so went to update,as I have made no mods so far the the stock rom, besides gaining root access. straight away it puts me to cwm,where I select to go ahead with the update and flash it. I know I must have made some rooky noobish mistake but have managed to half-brick my phone and cant work out how to get round this,
I can gain hboot usb but my computeris not picking up the phone and the recovery I made isnt in the folder when I try to resore- I get the folder with the date I made it in cwm but there is nothing there, the only rom i can manage to pick up is the google one and that doesnt work,
It was successfully flashing and when done did the reboot and then bam, just stuck on htc logo screen.
Any help again greatly appriciated, as i have been trawling the net and all parts of the forum for the past day and cant get anywhere.

If you are using hasoon's tool kit.
Click on relock bootloader.
Then in hasoon's toolkit select unlock bootloader (make sure you have unlock_code.bin of your device with you...)
Hello there, sorry for posting, this is literally my last resort.
So, here's the whole story. In my attempts to install a custom recovery mode(first TWRP) then I tried to follow this guide: Link is here of xda forum. So, my phone runs Fastboot and doesn't really have any stock recovery (just a factory settings window, which is now gone as well). So apparently after I entered these two commands into adb
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot format userdata
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command unlocks the boot-loader and I thought that the second command would erase userdata, which is just photos and files, but apparently that second command has erased the whole rom + the factory settings window, that was on the phone.
So that's basically the story, now I am searching for a Stock ROM of the Flycat Optimum 5501, Android 5.1.
My phone is:
Flycat optimum 5501
Was running Android 5.1
If any information is required, I will provide. Please help and thank you for reading!
Alright development update. I've did like hell of a lot of digging, until it hit me to check the official Flycat website, so I went back and forth through the whole website right? And bam, I literally found 2 STOCK ROMS by going to this link.
I am still currently looking into ways to how to install this rom. If anyone could give advice onto how to install it using Fastboot, I would be thankful!
Update: So I found out that an application "Smart phone Flash tool" can flash your whole phone if you accidentally ****ed up. So I went to watch a few tutorials in youtube about that application and I managed to unbrick my phone. It works as it worked at the start. Welp I managed to fix it with pure research and dedication to this **** (I gotta get some beer)
At any case, for those of you who have the same phone and run into the problem. I hope that my updates will help ya. Sorry for the constant posting, my problem is fixed ^^
I do still wanna find a custom recovery image, that would work on this phone, so if anyone finds a way, please comment!
hi all, i have been ready through posts but dont have the answer, can some please help.
is it possible to install a custom firmware from this phone's current state. (bootleader never been unlocked)
and has ota 4.4.2 on samsung vzw note 2
many the instructions for install custom firmware say to get twrp installed, and this is where in stuck
i tried to install most recent twrp tar twrp-2.8.7.0-t0ltevzw.img.tar using odin and it seems to get about 80% but then fails.
i then tried to unlock bootloader so i could use fastboot to install an img file, like twrp-3.0.2-0-t0ltevzw.img but the "adb reboot bootloader" command just restarts the phone, skipping the fastboot screen
am i spending counless hours in something that is not possible?
I certainly have learned alot in my journey, but I'm getting doubtful its possible.
thanks all
i found this user trying to accomplish same thing, should have piggy backed off his thread, but as of 05/2015, still no way to unlock bootloader

Unfortunately the device has kinda been left behind those who have a locked bootloader really only have 2 options stay on stock with root. Or install safe-strap and flash a touchwiz 4.4.2 modified rom. Which is awful because this device has potential. If a developer is reading this please make one more attempt to unlock this device . I'm sure the xda community would help you. I definitely would! I hope a developers reading thanks very much..
