i recent relieved my phone from a boot loop and have reinstalled stock rom. i am running android version 4.1.1 and baseband version VRAMC3. well here is my question, this version is rooted and i want to unlock the bootloader so i can install custom roms. Can i use casual to unlock the bootloader with it being rooted already?
thanks
@d73jester
This is just my 2 cents, but if I were you, I would probably ODIN to factory stock 4.1.2 VRAMC3. Then, you should be able to use Adam Outler's Casual to root and unlock bootloader all in one step. I see where you had commented in this thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52880198
You should be able to use the same links as well, as long as you never took the 4.3 OTA and permanently locked your bootloader.
I'm not familiar with the process of unlocking bootloader on 4.1.1, so not able to provide help there. I would guess that if you read through old threads, you can find something on it.
Good luck.

edit-- I looked at Droidstyle's guide again and he said that flashing root66 does not lock your bootloader again. So... sounds like you don't need to try unlock the bootloader as long as you never took 4.3 OTA and had the bootloader unlocked before ODIN'ing to 4.1.1/Root66.

Hi All,
I have read lots of posts and am confused so sorry if already answered.
I have a uk orange atrix rooted and have unlocked bootloader running Aura 1.2.2.2. I wish to flash the uk stock rom from the firmwares superthread, is it safe for me to use rsdlite to flash rom.
Many thanks
Just flash a fruitcake

I was waiting for one but their is not a uk one yet. i thought that if it was ok to flash an sbf using rsdlight with an unlocked bootloader then i would create a fruitcake of it for others to use.
I did it flashed back to stock with rds after unlock bl and all worked fine but I cant flash with fastboot now as I think bootlader relocked.

Hi
I am experiencing battery drain with my P769 21b stock phone. I have tried factory reset and it didn't do anything.
The main cause is the Cell Standby.
I heard that the V20F is good with the battery but I was wondering why a later version (21B) is the opposite.
I have read that the bootloader on the newer phones (This one?) may not be able to unlock,
I do not want to screw anything up, it's only 2 weeks old.
Does anyone else have battery problems?
Does this bootloader unlock and does the phone root easily (has anyone done it)?
Thanks
If you manage to unlock the bootloader, I will throw my phone at you... lol. Joking. I'm on 20h and I use a battery tweak found in Pimp my Rom. Of course, you need to be rooted to use it.

So I can flash a rom without needing to unlock the bootloader?
What is the use of unlocking the bootloader then?

No, the bootloader has to be unlocked to flash a custom ROM.

Pimp my Rom is an app for root users. Yeah... for custom roms, bootloader needs to be unlocked.

OK, some background and disclaimers.
I searched as best as I could and read the FAQ and couldn't find anything that would help me--the relocker thread from 26 Nov 2012 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525) looked useful but too dated. So no flames please!
I bought this phone off a Verizon store manager in early June, who didn't mention that he had rooted it (or failed to return it to bone stock via re-locking it). Recently, it's been losing bluetooth connection to my car, losing the SIM Card connection, and failing to accept the OTA update (which is a daily, obnoxious occurrence). I checked with a VZW employee today and my phone is still under warranty, so I plan to send it in for replacement due to the former two problems.
Problem 1: Transferring a phone between accounts voids the warranty. Solved, as I won't say anything, and am mysteriously still under warranty.
Problem 2: Unlocking/rooting a phone voids the warranty. However, if I can manage to re-lock the phone, then all should be good.
I'm obviously a casual user and have zero idea how to re-lock the phone or even check if it's still rooted. Yes, I am a newbie.
What should I do?
Whenever I try to run the OTA, I am booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1.
Other relevant stuff:
Android 4.1.1
Software: 2.06.605.1 710RD
Please let me know what else you need to know.
Thank you!

Would you mind linking? I looked into development and all I found was an "S-Off" thread for returning to stock and the first one I already linked.

The s-off guide will do what you need for you. Just ignore the part about going back s-off if you are just trying relock

Ok. I'm doing my best to do it on my own without asking dumb questions, but the post I found (yours, actually-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919) says it's for Facepalm/JTAG/RevOne/Moonshine, which I assume are OSes. But my understanding isn't that my phone is flashed or rooted, just that it's unlocked and I have to get rid of the bootloader, which is the Clockwork Recovery mod.
I just tried this http://www.androidcentral.com/is-my-phone-rooted with ConnectBot and don't appear to be rooted.
All those names are s-off methods...
Just use my lock zip, ruu = profit

Thanks for your help. I had some trouble--mostly because I assume you wrote the guide for an average developer who already has all the SDK stuff installed on his computer, and I didn't. But I figured it out. Much appreciated!
Okay so I unlocked my bootloader using the toolkit but I dont want to flash a custom recovery, I like the stock one. Is there anyway I can root it using the stock recover?
Probably not since most Roms need a custom recovery..twrp/philz..

Does anyone know if one would still get OTA updates from AT&T if rooted and unlocked?

Yes if you are on the stock rom with no deleted or modified system apps, however the update will most likely break root and could result in the inability to root in the future. Usually within days of an update, someone mods the new update and posts it in the dev forum for those who are unable to update, at least that was my experience on the S3.

yes, just boot into twrp, don't flash it.
fastboot boot twrp.img
you can flash supersu and never touch stock recovery

This will get you what you need. One thread is usually good enough
Thanks everyone for the replies. I was somehow able to just push SuperSu onto my phone, no need go into fastboot or anything. After I unlocked the bootloader I restarted my phone and just clicked on Perm Root, it did its thing, I restarted one more time and boom SuperSu was there and root was verified with root checker.

No...towelroot will NOT work for sch-i605 at all. Device is not supported. There is no root method that i am aware of at this point for us. I check in with xda everyday just hopping.:crying:

As of now guys we all are stuck with a locked and stock 4.4 sch-i605. When or if they find a method i dont know if knox would be a huge deal at that point. I rooted my wifes sch-i747 (att s3) and supersu disabled knox no problem. Seems that the devs may have moved on to other projects. Lets just hope SOMEONE gets around to our device. --waiting patiently--:angel:
Considering that Knox is the premier security program to be included on every Android L phone not just Samsung, I doubt the amount of time needed to circumvent is not worth the effort on the 605. Don't hold your breathe that we will ever get root.

the only thing you can do (and idk if everyone can do it) is to odin flash back to 4.3 (MJ9) and then root from there.
unfortunately that doesnt include a bootloader unlock. but then you can safestrap and install /any/ touchwiz rom

Can you confirm if you've actually been able to successfully do this? If you have, then this would be great news for those who want root, but took the OTA up to 4.4.2.

Yes, I did this myself on my phone before I switched out the motherboards.
From ND7, you can flash back to MJ9, and then you can root, and then use safestrap to install certain specific ROMs
I will edit this post if i find a link to a tutorial
Damn I downgraded from ND3, not ND7, my apologies.
Here is the Link anyway http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752360
I don't have a way to test if there is a way to downgrade.

Cool. Thanks for the confirmation. I knew you could go from ND3 back to MJ9, but I had read somewhere else where someone speculated that you couldn't revert back to MJ9 from ND7 due to the locked bootloader issue... I'm still on 4.1.2 with unlocked bootloader, so I can't test it either.
