Not entirely sure the bootloader was truly unlocked. May just have been the boot screen that said custom with the unlocked pad lock. If it was however unlocked that would be epic as nobody has found a a way to unlock the bootloader on ME7.

Epic and splendiferous are two words that come to mind. Ditto on the unlocked pad lock...

Because you don't have stock firmware on it.

How would I fix that, I unrooted to update and ever since then I've had that boot screen

Just means that you are rooted. That's what mine did after rooting & before flashing a custom rom.

You did that in the wrong order, unfortunately.
What's happened is that the phone counts every attempt to flash a custom image. If you've ever done that, the nonzero custom flash counter causes the lock icon and "Custom" to appear on boot.
If you had root still, you could run Triangle Away to clear the custom flash counter and then install stock.
I'd root the phone, run Triangle Away, then let it update. If you haven't done anything else to it, the update will work fine even though the phone is rooted.

Hello fellow One owners
So since were all frolicking in the blissfulness of unlocked boot loaders, could a accepting an update from ATT ever relock our boot loaders? I would like to know for future reference. Does it even matter since we have our unlock bin already? Thanks!

Side question: what is the official download page for adfree? Can't seem to find the legit one and I'm afraid of downloading it from some rogue website
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
For anyone else curious, here is adfree. Its legit, just look at the permissions when you install it. Click the green download button at the bottom, not the ones up top

the unlock bin is tied to the device ID of the phone software won't change that. Once you're unlocked you have to relock to accept an OTA anyway else it will fail.

But if you unlock your bootloader and root then won't need to relock to update. You can just wait till someone post the OTA here or the full rom to flash to your device

As long as its a custom recovery and not stock then you're good, right? What is this Loki'd recovery I keep seeing?
It can be something other than TWRP?

As far as custom recoveries on the VZW S4, the recovery must be loki'd.
Here are a couple good reads:

Loki is not specific to TWRP.
Given where we are currently you might to check the build #. Does it end with MDK?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes, MDK. Stock rooted.
I installed CWM 6.0.3.2 using ROM Manager a while back.
I have no idea what Loki'd is referring to. About to update CWM to 6.0.3.6 using ROM Manager.
Edit: I looked over the second link and see that Loki is a bootloader hack? When I boot my phone, there is an unlocked picture. When people say Loki'd does it mean unlocked bootloader in general, or that a specific hack has been applied?
I want to switch to a custom ROM, however I keep seeing Loki'd as a prerequisite.
Thanks for your time.

Loki'd = Unlocked bootloader or specific hack?

You will learn quickly that without loki, you will be greeted by a wonderful little yellow triangle.
Loki is a work around to our locked bootloaders. But is easily patched by any and all verizon pushed updates(so don't accept them)
In my signature is links to CWM touch, TWRP 2.5.0.2, and philz recoveries pre-loki'd and ready to flash in whatever recovery you already have.
I keep getting this message that says downloading do not turn off target.
I got past it by home+vol down+lock and then choosing cancel on the next window but I don't know how to install this rom if I can't bypass the bootloader! I am using the twrp method
How do I reboot recovery after I've installed open recovery script on goomanager without getting this error?

It sounds like youre on the me7 ota and you cant install custom recovery on it at the the moment. No downgrading to mdk either.

So im coming from the HTC DNA, just got my S4 today. Rooted and unlocked already. Is there a process to achieve s-off on galaxy devices like htc devices, or is it not needed for flashing radios, splash screens, etc...?

Verizon has it locked down if you're on ME7. No workaround yet.

Interesting. He said he was already rooted & "unlocked". I guess that means he has MDK & has Lokied. So first he needs to be cautioned to not take the ME7 update. As for S-off, would a custom rom /kernel not take care of it?
Edit : if he can install custom recovery & is rooted it should already be taken care of.
If you truly have a locked down ME7 the only current option is developer Hashcode's safestrap method to flash roms.

I flashed Imnuts 4.3 this morning. Before I did I was running JellyWiz 2.0. After doing the Odin back to stock 4.3 did this just lock my bootloader and stop me from flashing another ROM?
