Can someone point me to a list of the menu commands and what they do for the Photon's bootloader? I have searched, it seems like for hours, and all I can find is unlock info.
What are you trying to do exactly?

I am extremely excited that motorola unlocked the bootloader. But I would prefer a way to bypass the official fuse-breaking unlock and use a fully reversable unlocking method. Since moto allowed us to unlock our bootloaders it seems all work has stopped.
Does anyone know if any devs are still trying to bypass the bootloader?

I don't think they are
(we have 2nd-init for that sort of thing)
Bummer... I wouldn't think im the only one who finds bypassing the bootloader advantageous.
Maybe when the rom frenzt settles down we will see this a bit more?

Probably not because we will have cm7 by then

Doubt it. Not really sure I see the added benefit?
Unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty. Right now it is not a reversable process.
If we could un-unlock our bootloader we can still send our phone in for warranty covered repair and replacement.

Only problem is unlocking your bootloader burns a fuse. So I mean you could go in there... .
2nd init is the closest we're gonna get I think guys.

What he said!!!
Pshh im a pansy...
I wonder if the reason motorola finally caved on the unlocked bootloader was to stop development of kholk bypassing the lock...

So, am I correct in assuming the bootloader is the only reason we can't flash while retaining 4G?
Do we have a "unlock boot," petition?
If no. Lets.

Yes, our current boot loader unlock messes with the 4G keys, actually it apparently doesn't have the code to "hand off" the keys. Jugs and Shabby i think are working on getting this working. Jugs has had some computer issues.
I believe that someone has already started a Motorola petition to get an OEM unlock. But honestly if they don't want to unlock it they wont. I feel that they will because the did the Atrix after a few months of release.

i relocked my tb boot loader and now i get ***RELOCKED*** across the top.. is there anyway to get rid of it? the phone was unlocked originally using the htcdev site and relocked using the fastboot oem lock command. any insight would be appreciated. hboot version is 1.05.
I never used HTC dev to unlock my bootloader.
I don't think you really have a way around it... but I could be wrong.
Basically giving you a response here for your knowing of just my personal thought. Maybe someone else will clarify me as being correct or not about this.

Won't change anything even if you do manage to get it off, HTC still knows you did it.

This is true since the HTC dev method was used to unlock the bootloader.

I am very new to this, but my Droid DNA, that i just got, is giving me troubles with unlocking the bootloader. I am used to samsungs, and HTC's are confusing to me... I just rooted my uncles HTC One S, and that was pretty simple, but this is still mind boggling to me. If you know how to fix this, please PM me. I have tried the SuperCID app, and it doesnt change my MEID, and HTCDev wont work until I unlock the Verizon Bootloader. I've tried HTCDev, but i keep getting the error code 160, MID Not Allowed. Please help me. thank you for any advice you may have.

If you just bought the phone and it has the newest update, you can't unlock or root. There is no method for the new firmware.
smh... doesn't anybody read anymore? I thought it was normal to gather information before diving in to Unlock bootloaders... Guess not.
Sorry to be so harsh but there are a ton of threads here that would have let you know this is not possible
Well, i have been "doing my homework" on this, and i can assure you that i didnt just dive right in, i looked into it and have looked into every possible way to slove my matters, but as you can see, i havent and thats why i am here.

Look at your software version. If its 2.04/06 your fked
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Its a 2 06, is there a way to downgrade the system? Or even just run a cmd to bypass the verizin bootlock? Ive tried the SuperCID app for this, but it seems it doesnt keep the new MEDI. And i have no idea why?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
No. SuperCID broke with the 2.04 update. There is no way to downgrade. There is no current alternative.

No way to downgrade with stock HBOOT. No way to flash new HB00T.
/system is write protected n bounty thread is over $1000. Think of something clever? Its been tried.

Supposed to work on any device with any ROM... We obviously don't have any ROMs to test yet but it doesn't say anything about boot loader status... What do you guys think?
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk 4
Yeah, with the locked bootloader none of this is possible yet unfortunately. They are assuming its unlocked.
That's what I figured but wasn't sure on. .. Thanks
