Hi,
Wondering if it possible to remove the yellow ad of Sprint during turning the phone on.
Thnaks!

Yes, in order to edit system files.
Thanks for the great help!!
p.s: so nice to root the device by an app such as Stump!

Sure is nice when there is a flaw in stock code that allows you to inject root (privilege escalation).
Sorry its a pet peve of mine, I'd rather an unlocked bootloader and secure system so I know that if I'm on stock nothing gets root until I'm ready for root by unlocking the bootloader.

But BL was already been unlocked?

BL was bypassed, not unlocked. Nexus devices, some Sony devices, and some HTC devices can have the BL unlocked (commands in fastboot, no root required to do) but BUMP just tricks the bootloader then requires boot imgs to be signed with the DEVs keys (from my understanding).
This means it is not a true unlock but will act as a unlock if the imgs are signed by the devs (I'm not privy to the actual method so I could be off a bit)
With a true unlock you take a step, outside of the normal system, usually wiping data in the process, to enable an unsigned recovery that allows you to flash a new system. This means if I steal your device I can't root it and install a few apps then give it back with you not knowing, or steal your CC info stored in a db file using root privileges.
Sammy and LG root/unlocks are backwards. I can take your device, install stump, delete stump, install a root/hidden tracker, and follow where you go without your knowledge, all in about 15 mins.

Does the hardware on the HTC Flyer check the bootloader's digital signature?
Can anyone answer this?
I am bumping this thread again.
Will someone please answer this question?
It comes from the store locked, but you can unlock it by going to
http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/
They will allow an unlock, but you lose your warranty.

He means if the boot loader is locked, not the carrier. And also to the OP, do you mean read-write access to the boot loader or something else?
I want to know if the first stage bootloader is signature checked by the HTC Flyer's boot ROM. If it isn't then the locked bootloader problem can be solved by simple overwriting it. And yes, read/write access would be required to overwrite the bootloader.

Well i would say no. You can't get a custom boot loader to load 2 roms or anything yet. No access at all, read or write.

No it isn't, it's actually easy to edit a bootloader, it's getting it onto the device that's hard.
I still would like to know if the bootloader itself is signature checked.
well then read my last post.
The only thing your previous post tells me is that accessing the area where the bootloader resides is difficult.
The the "no it isn't" doesn't mean anything?
Sorry. I thought you were talking about simple read/write access.
Master Melab,
PM me is you have specific questions, you can post a summary after that if you want.
I messaged you my questions.

if its fairly easy to edit a bootloader, is it not possible to patch the HC hboot to think the radio is s-off(like the revolutinary does),then simply install that hboot in place of the real one,when following the HC install guide?
seems after one roots GB with revolutionary,it should be fairly easy to get an s-off HC hboot for someone who knows how to do such things what am i missing?
I could be completely off the wall, and the idea is rough but each phone will be partitioned into separate categories, such as Bootloader, System, Data, etc. If we were to obtain the Bootloader partition on another Xperia phone of the same model with an unlocked bootloader, would it be possible to restore it to a non-unlockable bootloader using the DD command?
I'm just wondering as this idea is yet to be explored. I got the idea reading about a fix for the Nook Tablet, HERE.
No, it won't work. You can't write with dd if you're not root.

I'm willing to do anything it takes. I have my ways of cracking different forms of encoding and such, and if it's in an inaccessible location I will try to find a way around. As a community, I bet we can do something. At least install CWM without unlocking the bootloader.

You can do that already, with the chargemon trick. Unlocking bootloader is not possible from the OS though, it needs to be done on a lower level (testpoint/JTAG).

Its possible by modifing ta partition,if you check init scripts in root you will see that on with partition ta is located.
Did anyone try to flash ta from generic firmware,when i try flashtool does not want to flash it.

That would be great,but still simlocked phones could not boot to fastboot.
As on 2011,there were exploit but laser used it to make money,so if you had simlock you needed to pay still to unlock bootloader.

I like where this thread is headed, keep up the good work. :good:
Cheers !
Hello all,
Hope there is a solution soon.
Is it the csca certificate that needs to be changed to change the unlockable status?
I spoke to someone from Sony who said they had software there that could do it. He told me to come here and wait till someone from Sony leaks it or finds another way.
Apparently when the Sony s1 signature server was online you can do a full csca certificate unlock and that will change the status of the unlockable bootloader remotely using software to connect.
Cheers,
Lunar.

Just clearing up what cybojenix said by no, he means no you have to unlock your bootloader first, all current root methods for the Moto E require you to unlock your bootloader.

Can't we modify the the stock firmware's system.IMG file and flash that?
If the signature remains intact then we can flash it as stock firmware upgrade.
I know the post above meant the same thing or something similar.
Yet if we can do something like this...

If you modify the system.img file, you would have to unpack the archive to modify and when you pack it again, signature will change! hence No it cannot be done

If not, is there an equivalent simple root available for our phone? Need root to run a great program. Unfortunately, this has always been sooo simple on past phones.
Please help.

You cold always got to HTCDEV.com and unlock the bootloader and flash SuperSU or superuser. But that will erase everything on your phone. So make a backup.

Not on Verizon. HTC dev is not allowed.
No temp root anymore. Sunshine it!
Hi there, I want to root my pixel , but I can't. (Screenshot) I buy phone with Verizon contract , but now it's contract free. If someone can help me. (I'm from Ukraine,we don't have Verizon)
For Verizon phones, regardless whether contract free or not, it is impossible to unlock the bootloader.

You're screwed. Verizon will NEVER unlock the bootloader, and you can't either. This means you CANNOT flash factory images. You CANNOT root the device. You CAN manually flash OTA images through the device recovery with fastboot, however as the device is still supported for the next four years, that ability is nearly pointless.
You should have purchased a Japanese Pixel 6. If I recall correctly, it's the same hardware as the Verizon Pixel 6 but with an unlockable bootloader. Now it's too late for that, so simply enjoy what you have because honestly you're not missing much.

Perform a factory reset instead. Since you cannot flash things that's the way you eliminate bugs on your device.
