Does this method actually work for the Atrix4G (AT&T), can it be confirmed by anyone in here?
If you have an unlocked bootloader and use a Monster SBF will it only remove the UNLOCKED text from the POST, or does it actually fastboot oem lock ?

No way to relock after unlocking the bootloader. It's a hardware lock/unlock, not software.
It may be spotted at AT&T store or service center. If they turn the phone on the first thing they will see is "unlocked" in the upper left corner. Per what it says when you unlock your phone, this "MAY" void your warranty. Don't listen to advice saying they won't care at the service center. The one where I live does everything they can to get your phone back working before replacing it. Been there a couple of times.
You can remove the "unlocked" in the boot screen by flashing back to 4.1.26, 4.1.57, etc., but the phone is still unlocked, it just won't say unlocked anymore unless you reflash the unlock, after which it will be on the boot screen again.
I would say if you are returning it, don't unlock the bootloader.

Does anyone have any experience with jtag and unbricking? I ask because after bricking two phones, a third probably won't go over so well with the warranty dept. I'm willing to pick up a jtag jig so that I can keep developing but I'd like to pick the brain of someone with experience in this area before I do so. Possibly someone with the hardware already whose willing to soft brick and attempt a recovery. I know its a lot to ask but if we have
a definite way to unbrick we can really go at it. Plus I'd be willing to use the jig I pick up to attempt unbricking for others if they soft brick while devving.

qhusb_dload? I tried by doing the wire trick (like for s-off). I figured if I could get that I'd be able to recover but it wasn't working for me. Is there another way?
Right now I get no indication that the phone has any signs of life, no power on at all and not even a charge led. I have another one on its way but I really don't want to try for three strikes. I'm thinking I'm going to stay s-on for devving. It should be harder to brick then.

yep thats the one. if you could get it into download mode then you can flash a stock recovery and stock hboot back on. but like you said, there was no life at all. it sounds like you did what i did. :/
i dont think you need to worry about how many you are RMA'ing. im on my 3rd now. 2 HW failure and this one has a bad screen.

It would still be nice to have a solid way of unbricking. If I keep sending them back with the same exact problem I feel they would get suspicious eventually. Plus the new one I just got is pretty flawless so far, no dead pixels or anything so I'd like to keep it.
I have a new CM build sitting here right now that I'm terrified to try. Haha. So if you're uh sending the one with the bad screen back and want to try a couple things out first...
Yea that would be sick if we could get this to work. Probably, to find a JTAG/Uart port, we would have to take the board out of the device. I don't really wanna do it to mine since I wouldn't know how to put it back together

"Updating your radio"
NOTICE: This section is by far the most dangerous sections of all of this stuff. For this reason I will give a warning about what NOT to do before I even tell you what to do. During this process we will be updating the radio. When we go to update the radio it will ask you if you wish to update using the file it has found. You will answer yes and allow it to do the update. Should you mess up at any point and be asked again to do the update, DO NOT DO IT!!! If you update your radio twice with this file, you WILL brick your phone. Once again, DO NOT update the radio twice with this file.
Note: This section can only be done if you have done the previous section, S=off. Also there has been a bit of confusion when trying to update the radio, please ensure that you follow the steps carefully as some people are attempting to update their radio from recovery. Updating your radio is done from HBOOT, not recovery.
Step 1: Locate the "PB98IMG.zip" file you downloaded .
Step 2: Place it on the sdcard (in the bottom directory)
Step 3: Power off your phone.
Step 4: Hold the volume down button and then press and hold the power on button at the same time. This will boot you into a screen that says something about HBOOT.
Step 5: At this point it will scan for a file and find the "PB98IMG.zip" file on your sdcard and ask if you wish to update with it. Select yes.
Step 6: You should see a bar on the right that shows you the loading progress. Once it is done, press the power button and the menu options should change.
Step 7: You should now have an option to reboot your phone, press the volume down button and then the power on button to select it.
Step 8: Once your phone is booted go to settings.
Step 9: Select "About Phone" (At the bottom)
Step 10: Select "Software Information"
Step 11: Ensure that in the "Baseband version" section it says "2.22.XX.XX.XX" (No, not really X's, just any numbers there will do)
Step 12: Install a file manager on your phone. Astro File manager will do.
Step 13: Locate the "PB98IMG.zip" file on your sdcard and delete it. (You want to remove it off of your sdcard so you don't make a mistake and update your radio again, bricking your phone)
Congrats, you now have an updated radio!! (Hopefully a phone that isn't bricked either cause you were sure to follow my warning)

Annnnnnndddddd, there still are jerks who continue to be jerks. Apparently Po1soNNN feels this a forum for only those who know everything.
The radio is what communicates with the tower, but not knowing what you are doing with a radio file is the EASIEST way to Brick your phone. You CANNOT touch the radio if you are S-on. S-off is the last layer of security to protect you from yourself. My Dinc was S-off, but not my Rezound. I found with my Dinc, that changing the radio rarely helped me, and usually made reception worse. The reason for posting the radio separately are for those want the upgraded radio without adding any of the rest of the OTA update, or without having to return to stock. If you are s-off, you can just run this in Hboot and get the new radio. But it's definitely not for anyone who doesn't know what they are doing, and you won't usually find help if you don't. I understand the annoyance, by Po1soNNN, but still no need to be jerk about it. We all learned from someone else at some point.

The only thing I'd like to point out, is if you'll look at my profile, you'll see I've been around XDA for awhile now, but have very few posts. That's due to me following the rules, and doing as much research as possible before I resort to asking for help. I think we can both agree that modding HTC phones is a wee-bit more difficult than some of the others. This is my first HTC phone, and it's been completely new territory for me. I only ask questions when I feel I haven't found the answers I was looking for while independently scouring the forums.

hi i bought locked in calgary galaxy note i717 (already have cynogenmod version 10.0.0-RC0-quincyatt & paranoid android version 2.21)
how can i find carrier of my i717
I don't understand your question. Are you asking what carrier the phone is locked to? Model number under battery will tell you that? Are you asking how to unlock phone for any carrier? I believe with Canadian Notes it is better to use a third party unlocking service (like from ebay) to get the phone unlocked if it already isn't. But on the other hand I think some Canadian Notes come unlocked from factory. If the phone is unlocked, maybe you just need to enter the APN for your carrier.
For future reference, questions should be posted in the questions and answers section.
OP yes please explain your question and this has been moved to the Q&A. Thank You
Go to www.samfirmware.com and you can find the stock carrier rom. You can flash it with Odin software and a pc and the charging cable.
When you flash it your phone won't be rooted anymore.

Well Sir, your jokes or comments are not helping....there is a right way and wrong way to provide assistance and your way is not right.
If it bothers you so much that individuals are asking and looking for assistance, then stay out of the Q&A threads. Now I do not mind showing members assistance but bottom line they have to figure it out them self's. Teach them, not bash them.
Again if I see you bashing instead of providing, Stand By Sir. Thank You

You have to get an unlock code. That is something you purchase from ebay.
The Rogers rom is ok, but you have to flash a modem. Any modem compatable with t-mobile will work for you.

I was in the IRC when they got a .pit file. Here is a link.

I'm guessing it works but I don't know anything about .pit files. Hope this helps.
Don't know if you have this Adam but this is the Tar file that everyone used to Root their phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

If you followed Adam working on the vz s3...he comes across abruptly. Its nothing personal, he just likes to get his point across. Let him do his thing. My guess is he won't get the boot loader unlocked, but he probably will find a way to get recovery.
Hey that would be better than nothing at this point!!

When we get recovery, the boot loader is as good as unlocked.

Maybe it will help if I use smilies?. I get way too many pms . I read them all . I also read my recent threads :victory:. I also have things I'm doing in real life :highfive:. it is redundant, time consuming, and not worthwhile to send a pm and a response when you don't know what you are talking about :silly: . I generally hate my PM box . its filled with people asking questions that a search would take care of. So let me break this down a bit so you see what I see:cyclops: . I have a thread I'm monitoring and subscribed to, it sends me emails and I read the thread, I also get a PM, which sends me an email... I read there same post 4 times within 2 minutes and it was a question to which the answer is "no" :silly:.
I had hoped my previous response would be sufficient to convey that and let the quad message poster know that he does not need to spam to get my attention
The only thing we are now missing is a SBOOT.bin file. Once we have this file, I have a hardware hack and Ralekdev has a software hack. I've established a permanent external UART for testing compatibility of SBOOT signatures, but so far every one which I've found has been incompatible.
I'm working on this device and bricking it continuously. I've already had to have a thread shutdown in Development for improper firmware. I need a 100% restore solution. I'm working on it. I need SBOOT.
I'm also working on hardware hacks. https://plus.google.com/u/0/104711040110222472212/posts/TWps7wWvAAu I located UART on the live stream yesterday, and I've created a version of Heimdall for the GNote2.
So yeah, I'm a bit abrupt. Don't take offense. Just know that I'm working on this and being an asshole on the internet is real easy when working quickly.

Adam I'm the one that made the mistake, I know you're only trying to help the community and get a ton of emails. My bad, I wasn't offended and the only thing we all care about is defeating Verizon. Thanks for your hard work.
Is there like some sort of secret to root this phone? And if not why isn't it posted all over the place. HTC Dev wont let me unlock so it's impossible for me to do anything.

"original development" subforum does make finding stuff like this more time consuming sometimes, I agree. I rarely think to check it myself.

Well there isnt anything indicating that you've found what you were looking for, I'm not quite sure what you mean by me being 10 years late and I do know for a fact that a little searching around the development forums you would have found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011243 at the top of the page just where I said... oh and all questions are supposed to be posted in the Q & A section...
you gotta unlock the bootloader first then flash a boot.img w/ system write enabled then flash a recovery then the modules and then the superuser.zip to get root access...

There is also a really good thread stickied in the Q&A Section which explains some issues and links the unlock method. The unlock method thread should probably also be stickied in the Development Section IMHO.

How about providing some actual, useable information. Like,what does "failing" mean exactly?

You're right beaups, let me break it down:
-From the CID.apk method, I got the "VZW_001" in abd fastboot oem readcid, which I heard is a no go.
-At HTCDev I got the error code #160 message (MID Not allowed) when I pasted the token ID (from start to end, excluding the word INFO) that I obtained from fastboot oem get_ identifier_token.
-RUU.exe stated not to be able to update my device to 1.15xxx from 2.4.605.2
I don't know what else to do. I cannot retire my Droid 4 just yet because of that. Your help would be very appreciated.

Ok. Has your phone already taken the update? (What software version are you on?). If its been ota'd, there is no unlock method for you currently. And based on what I've found so far, there may not be one any time soon.

Yes I had an update as soon as I slipped my SIM card in. I am running the 2.4.605.2 version right now. Can the Jcase's exploit help me change the CID in order to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev?

As this is my first post I beg of you to take it a little easy on me. I am currently on the new OTA and have had the DNA for 5 days. I realize the lockdown on this phone is particularly harsh with this update so I am curious if I can return the phone to Verizon for a non-updated new one but I will need some type of ammo to go in there with to really get them to exchange it. The only problem I have had so far is that my financial pages for paying bills (Verizon included) and my expense reporting will not load. Perhaps this is a java error that the OTA may have caused and I am sure Verizon wants their money so that will be a way to win.
Are there any major issues with the current OTA I can add to my complaint list to get my hands on another one?
And yes, it is very rude to ask a dev if they are coming close to a solution but I am curious if it will be all for naught and the workaround is on the horizon or in the near future. I'm sure it's on many new owners' minds and they are scared to ask so let the noob bashing begin on me. I can take the abuse.
Knowing my luck I will come home from the store and blammo beaups and jcase have cracked it.
Update : Called Verizon, made claim, got a new in box sealed DNA, brought it home and went to work on it!
Proud owner now of a rooted, unlocked, s-off, rom and custom kernel running, new OTA radio, future updates from Verizon ota's blocked, bad boy of a DNA!
