I have become worried that you can factory reset the phone from the bootloader without a password and (naturally) delete all partitions on recovery without a password.
This could be an issue if it is stolen and the person knows how to access these areas. Is there a way to password protect access to them?
I have the default bootloader (unlocked) and 4EXT recovery.
Thanks in advance ^ ^

i don't think that there is such thing exists as password protected recovery or boot loader,but if you come to asia, especially in india,you can find many magicians here
they could spell some curse on your device so it would be protected or the person who try to steal it would suddenly become a goat
apart from all that,it would be awsome if there is some kind of tool for your problem..

can't they curse my phone over skype or something? =/
hopefully someone picks up on this problem.
Its probably pretty risky to flash(?) a custom bootloader (if even possible).
Until then I'll just have to start saving up for a trip to India ;p

I have my two new EVO LTEs in hand. From an experienced user, what should we do?
I don't want to mess with ROMs for a while but I want to root my phones to use TitaniumBackup, remove any bloatware, and enable WiFi hotspot.

Sounds like you already know what you want to do. Just wait for a root exploit.

Yeah, I probably didn't ask the question the best way. I just don't want to screw myself if I update it and then have to delay getting a root method. I think if I root it and then perform and OTA update, I'll lose root, which kinda forces me to use ROMs.
Arghhh... I know stuff, but not to the extent I should to run off in the corner by myself with this thing.

I read that earlier but someone said it would void the warranty. HTCDEV unlock is new news to me as well.
I need to do some reading on the forums. I respectfully don't expect people to spoon feed it to me. I know that's rude. I just thought a best practices general outline would be helpful. I can search to find out how to do any of the suggestions.

If your phone is rooted you can use titanium backup pro or link2sd to freeze the app and see if it will cause any problems with operation. If everything works it will be ok to delete it.

I already rooted my phone and im a user of CM7
but my question is how can i deleted the program of my Network Provider
to unblock my sim and i can use other network for my phone.
You will have to unlock your phone. It can be done free, but must company's charge a small fee and send you the unlock codes. Google unlocking cell phone. there is a lot of information about it on the net. Good luck!

lol im assuming he wanted to stamp on it then throw it away. hehehehe
He's talking about (take a gsm example), making the phone be able to make free calls, texts and data.
There's several illegal things going in there. And if your Service provider catches you, there are huge fines for that kind of thing.

It was a leak, we need a new leak from Motorola, this was not a hack at all so we can't just reuse something.
First of all, THANK YOU everyone for taking some time to answer every question. I really appreciate it. I have been reading, and reading for hours...my eyes are starting to bleed.
So... there is NO WAY we can get a better Android than the 2.3.5?
My build number says 4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0, that means I cannot unlock the bootloader, isn't it?
Is there another way (hack?) to improve the performance of the cellphone? I have root it, just to change some files I couldn't, e.g. the sound of the camera.
And finally... is it THAT bad being stucked on 2.3.5?

Some people are trying to use kexec, which is a way to bypass the bootloader and install a rom. it will take some time though. I'm not stuck on 2.3.5 so i cant comment on that.

Thank you, I'll search about "kexec".
The reason I was asking if I was stuck on 2.3.5 was regarding to my build number. I don't know how to conclude it's an ota or not.
You can attempt the Pudding Bootloader unlock, it is unlikely to succeed, but it may be possible. You do risk bricking the device though.

Unlocked bootloader
Well, it appears that I am still the only Photon owner around with 2.3.5 and an unlocked bootloader. Unfortunately mine was some sort of freak accident that it happened. I can run run custom recovery and flash all day long. Unfortunately if I install a ROM with any other version (or maybe it's the kernal) it will not work. It will boot up fine but nothing will connect at all. I've tried almost all of them........
I need to bypass the pattern lockscreen. The device isn't rooted, and I'm hoping there's a way to get past it. Cmon, XDA geniuses...!!!
This shouldn't be in this section but the only way I can think of is to boot to bootloader and factory reset

Is there any way to root in the factory bootloader?
Yes you can root as long as fastboot is unchecked in settings. But you will lose all your data rooting.
Do you just not remember your password?

Hey guys,
I have a device which i need to unlock (screen pattern lock).
I have no details regarding it's google account/PIN or any other method that allows unlocking it without using the pattern.
I tried downloading aroma file manager that allows access to the password file and delete it, but when i tried to install the aroma manager (through recovery, from an sd card) i keep getting these errors:
e: footer is wrong
e: signature verification failed
is there any way to solve this?
i can't access the device, so i can't enable debugging mode and things like that...is there any solution, besides wiping everything back to factory settings?
thanks!
This sounds fishy, why do you have no clue as to what the Google account/pin is?

because i found the device on the street...i want to find the owners to return it (find a relevant phone number in the contacts or something), but i can't unlock the phone....obviously since it's not mine i have no details about any accounts on it.
if i wanted to take it and use it i would just reset it, but i don't want to do that...
Congratz, now it's even more fishy. Give the phone to local authorities and rest, hero. "assuming ur story was real"

We have no proof of what you say, and its easy to lie on the internet. Also any way to help you will result in all data being deleted... Return the phone to the local authorities.
Also, lollipop implemented wipe protection so wipes will leave the the phone locked as well...

The only way to bypass is with a nowipe tar. If you don't know what that is it's probably too much of a PITA to attempt.
