Question about Bootloader - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I just unlocked my bootloader with no problem.....what I would like to know is how can I check to see if it is truly unlocked. Also I no longer can boot into the download mode anymore. When I type: "adb fastboot bootloader" the phone reboots...but when it reboots it simply reboots like normal. It does not boot into bootloader mode...just reboots normally....just like you would by turning the phone off and on. Is all this normal?
Thanks..

Did you uncheck fastboot from power menu in setting?

You can't boot into bootloader if fast boot is enabled.

The power menu fastboot option is only a feature on HTC devices...I have yet to see that on a Samsung device. .....

Just try to flash a custom recovery(twrp or clockwork) and if its succesfull your not locked down. .or if you already have the custom twrp recovery that was included in adam outlers unlock mode your bootloader is unlocked

Yes when I did the process of unlocking bootloader the twrp did load. But I was looking for something like to state that bootloader is unlocked.

Replacement phone from Asurion reboots when trying to flash rom

I just got a replacement phone from Asurion (Sprint Total Equipment Protection). I am trying to flash a rom (I have tried a few different ones) and in the process of flashing, the phone reboots and gets stuck rebooting.
Does anyone know how to get passed this?
Rom problem
I had a similar problem. I unlocked the bootloader but am still S-On running 1.19. After unlocking, I tried to install MeanBean 2.9 and the phone got stuck for over half an hour trying . I had to Power down. Obviously now it will not reboot. I can get to the bootloader and recovery screens, but cannot push a rom to root drive to flash.
I tried the linux unbricking thread advice, but my phone doesn't seemed to be recognized. Any suggestions on how to resurrect it?
Your phone ain't bricked, you have to flash the boot image first

Root + locked bootloader = ???

I've got a DNA that I just bought today from someone. Its rooted already with a locked bootloader (that was once unlocked). It has custom recovery installed. Any rom I try to install won't boot and I have to boot into recovery and restore it. It has a functional rom on it now, but the wifi on whatever particular rom it is won't work. I'm not sure what firmware it is its UKB 1.3.0 and PRI version 2.44_002. Not sure if any of that is pertinent information, but I'm just looking to get on a Sense 5 rom with functional wifi. Or at least stock as a whole. It IS trying to accept an OTA update at the moment as well, but I deferred it until the 7th. Thanks for any help anyone can lend.

Ask the dude to email the unlock key so you can unlock it and have fun.
Or just go to htcdev and go through the unlock process.

I thought HTC and Verizon are responsible for the bootloader getting locked again

Since it was unlocked before it has supercid, which means you can just go through the htcdev process again.

It doesn't matter who caused it, the bottom line is that if youve never unlocked and are running 2.04 then the unlock exploit won't work.

[Q] Software Update 1.27.531.8 w/ Unlocked Bootloader

I'm not really sure but seems there is no way unless if it's the original bootloader, plus this update is only for the mic so it won't fix back and home button. For me it's worthless.
hey guys i tried flashing the ota update via team win recovery and now im stuck at "Running bug_fix1 tool". its been at this for nearly 20 min idk what to do

Is that compatible with the T-Mobile One? Because it's the recovery for the international version, correct?
why not just flash the 4.2 update and get all the fixes

[Q] Rooted with S-on Bootloader locked, in a bootloop

Hi everyone, I recently (as in last night) rooted and unlocked my htc evo 4g lte when i found out that htc will no longer be updating the device. I decided to take things into my own hands.
First of all, I unlocked via HTC dev and rooted with su 1.55. I also had Twrp 2.6.1 Everything was good up to this point.
I looked around for the best rom that was stable and I choose CM10.1.
I flashed the rom and not the kernel thinking i didnt have to. After the rom booted with the touch screen disabled or not working I quickly used the recovery i had made before doing all of this. After doing this over about 3 times i learned that you had to flash the kernel. I went and found the kernal for the rom and flashed it. I thought it was fine but i was wrong. My recovery doesnt recover anymore, I can get to the boot loader but unfortunately my boot loader is locked again due to the ruu I tried to use after I got a 'little' nervous.
Im basically stuck with a phone that doesn't boot. Id appreciate any and all help.
Get adb drivers for the evo 4g lte boot the phone into fastboot and reflash the recovery IMG through adb to the phone after that try and s off your evo whenever u s off it will be virtually impossible to brick this device

I dont mean to sound like a noob.
I have re unlocked my device with twrp on it. Secondly do you have a link to the correct software? and the process on how to properly flash that back onto my phone?
Thank you!!
If u have it unlocked with recovery then u can re flash ROM but to be safe u should s off the device that way if u do ever flash a ROM it will automatically update your boot.IMG

If you want to go back totally stock you can use the VipeRUU tool. You must be S-off to use it.
I have one more question, can i flash this without a kernel? or do i have to use the gui to flash the kernel first then flash over the rom? or is any of that correct?
Well i cannot link it but its the 4.2.2 cyangenmod

You can use Flash Image GUI or you can fastboot flash the kernel. Click the link in my sig-I have a guide for installing kernels while S-on.

Bought "bricked" HTC One - missig build.prop

Hi there,
I bought a "bricked" HTC One (T-Mo) today for cheap. I am trying to revive this thing. I have adb and the SDK installed, the phone shows up in adb devices.
It has Clockwork mod recovery. S-On, unlocked, tampered. Rebooting cold freezes on the HTC logo, but I can get into recovery.
I found the 4.4.2 OTA zip and when I adb sideload the zip and try to install, it says:
"file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/buld.prop" : No such file or directory
E: Error in /tmp/update/zip
What should I do now? I've tried many things, none work.
Thanks.

Tried that, didn't work. The RUU utility errors out. I never see the progress bar on the black HTC screen and it throws an error with a "recovery" option only.
The guy told me he "didn't realize it was running a custom ROM" when he installed the 4.4.2 OTA. This "broke" the phone he said.
I downloaded United_Advance_v6.1.0.zip ROM and it appears to be doing more, but has been stuck at the "Writing Data & System" step for over 10 minutes. I didn't get the build.prop error, however, but it's just frozen.
I wiped everything, including DALVIK prior to sideloading the ROM.
Is there a 4.4.2 RUU? It's not on HTC's site.
I tried this one, didn't work at all:
RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_TMOUS_3.24.531.3_Radio_4A.21.3263.03_10.38m.1157.04_release_336982_signed_2(2)

Nice. If you do, please post or PM me. I'm close to getting this thing working.
BTW, I'm on a Macbook running Windows 8.1 via bootcamp (not virtualized). It works fine for everything...but I got to thinking, would the USB 3.0 ports be causing an error with the RUU update utility? I hope not as I don't have access to a USB 2.0 machine...
3.0 has been said to give problems do you have drop box I can give you link to download from my drop box. I have a RUU for sense 5.0 and a ota for k44 you can try

Try "fastboot oem lock" run the RUU again.
I would flash the corresponding firmware first then flash the RUU.

How can you s-off Hboot 1.56, I'm running into similar problem. Tried to convert to GPE after T-Mobile OTA KitKat was installed. Now can't go back to stock or s-off. I think that the OTA updated the hboot to 1.56 which is not supported by either rumrunner or Firewater. The only way out for me was installing CM11 with CW Recovery. Thoughts?

Can you give an update as to whether or not you were able to resolve your problem? The reason I ask is because I happened to run into a similar problem when I downgraded from 4.4 to 4.3 on my HTC one.
I can confirm that rumrunner does work on Hboot 1.56 and I actually should have all of the files necessary for you to be able to get your phone back up and running. Feel free to reply or send me a PM anytime and I will gladly help you get your phone running again
