Soon after purchasing my legion phone2 pro someone was able isolate it and looks to have replaced the bootloader compromising the phone. I'm able to get recovery now and hoping someone has a quick downloading official bin for just it!

Hello there, new user here! It's wonderful to see a flourishing community of android users here!
I just received my Z ultra gpe last week, upgraded to kitkat 4.4.4, and managed to root it a couple of days later with towelroot thanks to this forum.
Now I've been lurking around here and there, and have found a number of users mention things like protecting your phone's IMEI, backing up your TA partition, installing super su (which i did but not exactly sure about its purpose), installing dual boot, flashify, TWRP...
My question is, is it necessary to do these things in order to protect my phone and preserve that precious data in case I send my phone in for repairs? Could someone please enlighten me? I'd greatly appreciate the help! Thank you!

Back up the TA partition now, then you don't have to worry about it latter. Strictly only needed if you unlock the bootloader to flash a custom ROM.
Install supersu as this app controls what other apps have access to root premitions
Think about dual recovery - this will allow you to back up the ROM and or your user data with ease, and allow you to sideload apps and mods and flash a new custom ROM (if you want to).TWRP and CWM recovery are the two recoveries in the dual recovery.
Don't for get to buy a nice case for your z ultra if you really Want to protect it

Thank you guys for the replies! I just rooted my phone to play some emulators and run sixaxis. I don't really plan on flashing custom roms and stuff because I don't really want to go through the hassle and I don't really know how lol.
And on that note, what case would you recommend? I just ordered a nillkin matte plastic case from ebay because it seems to have a cutout for the dock charger ( i bought one but it's 3rd party brand). Been looking at the dual case shine but it doesnt have a cutout for the dock and I'm afraid that other cases and bumpers make the bezel "thick" which would prevent me from charging it onto the dock station. Lastly, I saw the devilcase which is quite pricey or is out of stock but it does look cool. (cant post links... sorry)
Has anyone tried this? Any recommendations? Thanks again guys!
for cases have a look in the Xperia Z Ultra Accessories section
Hello guys,
First off I would like to say a short disclaimer that I have very very little (none) experience with rooting phones or such and am completely at the mercy of your expertise.
So having said that I accidentally deleted a number of audio files (voice recordings mostly) which are very valuable to me and realistically to my business are quite crucial. Upon looking through and checking my options (as I didn't back these ones up yet and didn't have them uploaded to cloud) it looks like a root and then file recovery attempt is my best bet.
Now I have tried to root via kingo and a couple other programs with no success and everything comes across as root failed; and the last resort for me is to pay this one software program company $40.00 to have them root it. But that is just as good as me doing it in my books with the right program.
So my question to guys is, is a samsung SM-g925w8 galaxy s6 edge rootable when updated to version 6.0.1 and what are some good programs for doing so?
I am not confident enough to do the whole flashing thing and manual method of rooting and really have no idea what that would entail and am looking for your guys' opinions and expertise to help me out on this one. In my (limited) experience with this community you all are very helpful and work together to solve issues for others.
Please advise
Thanks!

I have recently purchased my daughter this phone to use for Pokemon Go...since she is only 9 she cannot go walking around too far to play this game..SOOO i am in need of 2 things if at all possible.
1. A rooted stock ROM for this Phone(SuperSU rooted works the best and easiest)
2. A Stock ROM for the phone(Just an exact replica of the ROM that is pre-installed when you first buy the phone, or can remove all the garbage excess stuff if would like? )
I do not have loads of cash but if someone can help me i wouldn't mind donating to them to get this done? Just let me know if someone has these files already(i already have Odin to do the flashing and i know how to do it already, just need these 2 files ) OR if someone would do this for me(for my daughter actually haha) like i said, i would gladly donate to them if they prefer. just whatever it takes
Thanks for the time and for reading my post!
Anyone at all willing to help? or tell me how to make a copy of the phone myself?
Still no answer? is it ok to bump threads like once a week so people can see the thread often? i am desperately needing to find someone to help me. My daughter keeps asking about this and i have to keep telling her i am working on it. I've tried researching how to do it myself...but uhhh it gets kinda confusing and last thing i wanna do is mess the phone up lol. So, if anyone can please help me i'd GREATLY appreciate it! If cannot send the files themselves...if someone could guide me exactly as to how to manage doing it by myself maybe? Thanks guys!
I am afraid to say this is not possible so far I know. A Friend as ask me to unlock his phone, but no success. I think I gonna suggest to sell it in eBay and get another phone which is possible to unlock (and not from Verizon).
Hi i hope hope someone can clear a few things up for me i am a bit confused is this the correct forum for mate 10 pro as well as normal mate 10. I have recently purchased mate 10 pro and could not find mate 10 pro in devices i only found this forum. Also in the development section there are not many roms which i find a bit strange because the phone is not very new. Hope someone can help.

I believe that you are new here and don't know that the huawei phones would not enable us to install stock roms and we are not able now to unlock the bootloader anymore for free lol.
So there is no custom roms dear
Wtf how am I supposed to unlock the bootloader then I need more information quickly so I can cancel my purchase. Is it impossible to unlock bootloader now

Depends on your firmware. If Security Patch is June or later you won't be able to, at least not if you're on C432.
If you are on security patch may or earlier you will be able to use HCU client to get unlock code, but it's paid.
I can only confirm that it's not possible to get unlock code on C432B145+, I can't confirm for other cust but it will most likely be the same.
Edit: if it's a brand new phone it will likely come with factory firmware, unless the shop you bought it from updated it.
Even if I was able to unlock think it's likely that development will be very limited would I be right in thinking this.

I wouldn't say "limited" it depends what your looking for, obviously the best device development is for OnePlus and Pixels imo, but we still have RessurectionRemix, LineageOS, CarbonROM & OmniROM, that's 4 pretty recognisable ROM's :good:
Link to ROM's : https://openkirin.net/download/
To be honest, I had my first Mate 10 Pro rooted, and apart from an Ad blocker and YouTube Vanced there wasn't much I felt any need to install. Now Vanced can be installed without root, and Ad Blocker can run on various browsers, I don't see much point.
The Mate 10 Pro is a brilliant phone, I'm seriously considering selling my S9+ and going back to the 10 Pro - the battery life was far better, and I think the camera was better. I also hate the bent sides on the screen on the Samsung. Only thing I might missis Samsung Pay, but I'll just go back to contactless card.
Thanks to you guys and some further reasearch i was able to reach out to the person on ebay i had bought the phone from and cancel the purchase after explaining the situation with bootloader. I am still reeling from Huwaweis decision to stop bootloader unlocking and hope they one day reverse this decision. I really had my heart set on the mate 10 for obvious reasons but possible lack of bootloader unlock is just a no no for me on my current phone a xiaomi mi6 i regularly change roms and kernels sometimes twice a week so i certainly could not live with being stuck on Mui with no possibility of modifications xposed etc. And i did not want to take the risk of buying to only find out that the bootloder had been patched or something and id be stuck.
So now i have turned my attention to either the oneplus 5 or perhaps galaxy s8plus. Again thanks for your help guys.
Hello,
I am about to buy this phone.
I am surprised to see this forum so empty...
Do you know if/how this phone can be rooted ?
Do customs Recoverys and/or ROMs exist ?
Thanks
I dont know i wait for something on xda bit there is only couple o things un there
Hi,
searching a little on the net, I found that Oppo is reluctant to allowing for bootloader unlock and therefore is kind of blocking custom ROMS development, root, etc.
Therefore I decided to get rid of that phone (moreover I figured out that ColorOS is very limited compared to the custom roms I am used to, and the Wifi at my work could not connect, although it works great with all other phone brands).
I am also having difficulties to sell the phone, nobody really seem to be interested in it.
I bought a Xiaomi Mi 10T pro instead, which looks much better....
Won't buy Oppo again until they change their bootloader policy.
Good luck to you.

There is a specific option in this phone to unlock the boot loader.
Does somebody has a guide to root the find x3 lite?
