[Q] Broke screen, How can I re-lock bootloader and restore? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I dropped my phone last night and broke the screen and can no longer see anything. I know I can restore with Odin but how can I re-lock the bootloader without being able to see the screen?

restoring the completely stock odin file should relock the bootloader as well.

Thanks!

no it dont lock the bootloader you have to push the stock aboot.img via adb since you cant see your screen, then power off and odin back to stock. on a side note i doubt they will even check to see if your bootloader is unlocked.

That does not re-lock yor bootloader. You have to use ez-unlock to relock it then flash stock image

pull the stock aboot.img from the ez-unlock app with file manager or something equivalent and put it on the root of your sd card. i forget the command to push with adb, but there is some info around here on it. ill check around and see if i can find it.
when you open link click on old info!

Why even restore to stock. Insurance does not care if its rooted and unlocked nor will Samsung if your sending it in for repairs.

True. Just trying to cover my ass just in case.

Actually I'm pretty sure you will be in "locked" status just from doing Odin with a full factory image. Its exactly how I relock. It flashes the new boot.img and if you use the ez-unlock app afterwards, it shows as locked. Imagine it as still having unlock capabilities with aboot, but still being in locked status. For all intensive purposes, you're locked.

Don't worry about it, your not claiming warranty. In this instance it does not matter at all. Your having the hardware itself being repaired at a cost to you, or your making an insurance claim on a physically damaged device. Either way there is no software related issues that your claiming therefore root is completely irrelevant.
And remember, rooting is not illegal, it just voids your warranty if you screw something up software related.

i thought this at one time but its not true...going back to stock does replace boot.img(kernel), but not the aboot.img(bootloader). you have to lock with the ez-unlock app or push the secure aboot.img via terminal or adb.

drioidstyle is 100% correct guys and gals.... I have performed tests on 3 different S3's to confirm.... Follow his instructions in that thread.... Edit: It is Brian Gove's thread in this same forum...

Next time just say you dropped it in a lake or the ocean. That way you have nothing to return and you have a extra battery

how to unroot a phone and claim back warranty?
Hi, I'm using Nexus S.
I found on the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android
that Nexus S can relock the unlocked bootloader by using this command
fastboot oem lock
I give it a shot. and the bootloader is now locked.
I reboot my phone. The boot up only has a Google logo without the lock icon.
Does it means my phone is now unrooted? and ready to claim back warranty?
My suggestion is to odin back.

Odin first then re lock bootloader sir.

sorry, What's odin?
Odin is a windows tool used by samsung support staff to restore their android phones to stock. This is the most complete way to restore your device.
Please note that using odin on your 9023 will change your carrier info to EUR which I did never see in wild!
But honestly, do you really think samsung is checking your devices that exhaustingly? Time's money.

Basically ODIN is the program to be used in order to get the ota or go back to stock condition, you will have to go back to stock recovery. Odin is a program for your pc to flash your phone and can put the stock recovery back.

Do you still have superuser installed?
And if you boot into recovery, is it stock or clockwork?
I did it like this: restored to stock 2.3.3 with nandroid backup. Then i removed superuser. Locked the bootloader. Still had cwm recovery though.
But as soon as i updated to 2.3. 4, the recovery turned stock too.

Hi bro, since it's back to stock and the fastboot being locked. technically my warranty is claimed back? haha
They wont really care about your software. Really.
In the warranty term and condition stated that if only your software is the problem, then you will be in trouble. If not, it's alright.

unfortunately that's not right! i got my NS back on friday (sent it in, because my display is on some parts not reacting on touch any more), with the message, that my warranty is void due to an application, that is able to change system data...(no more information yet, i am still in discussion with the service center)...though i have unrooted and relocked the bootloader?!

SGSIII and Bootloader Unlock

Ok, so I'm pondering the switch to SGSIII and I have a few questions, that as of now, I haven't been able to find answers to...
1) I will be unlocking the bootloader, and my understanding is that flashing an insecure aboot is the most recent technique...is this correct? And does this supercede kexec?
2) Will an ODIN image of my SGSIII allow me to completely restore the phone in such a way that Verizon will never know it's been modified? If not, is this possible...namely, to completely mask what I have done to the phone?
Thanks.

1) Root your phone using this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342 , then go to the Play Store and DL Titanium Backup just to make sure you're rooted and then DL VZW EZ-Unlock via the Play Store. Run it and hit the unock button and you're all set. It'll take less than 10min to be Rooted and Unlocked
2) IDK about this one as some have said there is a Flash Counter. Not sure how anyone at a Verizon store would be able to tell if it's been flashed or not since most CS techs don't even know what a bootloader is
If it trips the flash counter (dont believe it does) you can use triangle to reset that. In short do whatever you want to the phone. Youll be able to get back to a state where they wont know anything.
Flashing the stock ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755386 restores the secure bootloader and also removes root so nobody would ever know your phone was modified unless you happened to have tripped the flash counter, in which case you would just use triangle away to reset it.

[Q] Yellow triangle of death?

Got the yellow triangle with " unauthorized software found on your device. Return to authorized Verizon dealer." I was trying to return this to stock and the directions on Odin said the bootloader had to be locked. I took the EZunlock and locked it back then all hell broke loose. Any ideas?

where did u read the bootloader had to be locked? all u need to do is odin back to stock, root, unlock bootloader.
All you need to do is download Odin, and and whatever tar file you want, boot phone into download (volume down, home, power), select yes when it asks are you sure, open Odin, select the tar file and start. Easy schmeasy

You rebooted your phone after locking the bootloader. You shouldn't have done that. Your issue isn't unfixable tho, not by any means. IIRC VRALF2 I'm pretty sure is the only stock image that doesn't re-lock the bootloader(I haven't tested all of them). If you choose VRALG1 that will re-lock the bootloader for you when you flash it, it did for me the other day when I started over.
Just boot into download mode and flash the G1 thru Odin then do a factory wipe and you should be fine. I'm 99% sure you didn't trip the flash counter doing this, someone else chime in on this please?
And make sure you use PDA mode when you use Odin and don't unplug your phone from it until it says finished(even if it says removed, let it continue rebooting and doing its thing before unplugging. The Start and Cancel buttons should 'come back to life' when it's ok)
This might be the source the OP was referring to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253&highlight=odin+to+stock
Although it clearly says to NOT reboot after re-locking your bootloader, it does say that the first step is to lock it before flashing to stock via Odin. Further down in the thread he says he'll remove it from the guide, but I don't think flashing stock via Odin locks the BL so if youre trying to return it to Verizon I would lock it first.

Certain stock images do. I've had g1 lock and I've read that he will to.
Don't get me wrong, locking it yourself prior to flashing thru Odin is a good thing to do just to make sure. It's easier than having to re-root just to lock it then flash all over again.

Yeah, I meant HD, not HE.
We did, but that was when I flashed F2. F2 doesn't lock it, but a week or so ago I had to flash back to stock to start over, used G1 and it re-locked my bootloader on me.
One of these days when I'm bored I'll sit down and try them all just to double check too.

“System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.” Me

I went to make a backup and ROM Manager said there was a new version of Recovery (ended in .8). I accepted and selected the Touch version. When I then tried to make a backup, the phone rebooted and I got this massage:
System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.
Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help
Volume up/home/power just boots to this message every time. So does Volume down/home/power. There is no way to restore a backup or use the phone in any way. I have been doing this since the days of the OG Droid, but I am lost now. Please help.
sounds like you didnt unlock your booloader
Yes it does, but it has been unlocked for a long time, and I don't think I lost the unlock with tthe 4.1.2 update. How can I unlock the bootloader without being able to start the phone?

Are you sure? Make sure you hold down Volume Down + Home for a few seconds before also hitting the Power button. I saw that same message yesterday when going back to stock and I was still able to boot into recovery/download mode. Also make sure your device is completely powered down (and not plugged in/charging)
deleted
THAT DID IT! I held volume down/home for a few seconds and then held power. The phone booted to a mode I had not seen before (recovery/download as you said?) and I said cancel and the phone booted!
I ran EZ-Unlock to unlock the boot loader. I tried several apps that require superuser permissions and they were granted it and run fine. So I assume I am still rooted, right?
Thanks so much for your help.
sounds like you should be good to go. one thing you should should consider doing is backing your IMEI if you havent already.

First, some background info is needed.
1) What did you do to your phone?
2) You have no success booting into Download mode?
3) Did you flash something in recovery? If so, what is the file name of the file you flashed?
Edit: Disregard #2, apparently I can't read. Are you using the Samsung OEM cable? Have you tried using a different USB port? Different computer?

After flashing CWM, you need to unlock the bootloader. You should be flashing a vrale6 bootloader zip OR using EZ Unlock v1.2 to unlock.

That means your Bootloader is not Unlocked. Make sure you use ez unlock 1.2 when unlocking. You can verify it's unlocked when you turn on the phone, and you see the word Samsung flash for a split second.

I should imagine that if you Odin using an OTA or stock tar from your provider then yes, you will lock your bootloader. AFAIK (which, mind you could be in error) the bootloader in the 4.3 OTA locks and deploys KNOX.
To save root I would ODIN stock root ROM or the like from XDA. Better yet install a custom recovery and then install rooted stock.

Ok thanks. Yeah it may sound weird but my goal is to get one of my phones completely back to stock. Stock recovery, Knox, Bootloader locked etc. I believe I have achieved my overall goal but cannot tell if I have a lock or unlocked bootloader still. When I first started my phone after Odin it showed a splash screen that said custom with an unlock symbol which threw me off. After booting the phone the custom lock splash screen during boot up went away. Kinda weird.

Yeah. That is odd. Which is why we all take chances of borking our devices when we flash. Crazy stuff can happen. The Custom reference and unlock to me implies you still have a custom recovery and unlocked BL. Either way with the KNOX trip your phone is out of warranty. But then perhaps the person at VZW won't check.
Something I've started to do (suggestion from prdog1) is when I flash I wipe System along with Dalvik and Data. Clears out any "leftovers" from previous flashes it seems.
Just a thought.

Yea I was unaware of KNOX until after I Odin to 4.3. So a little worried I tripped it in the process. Also I never Triangled Away before either. Im wondering if I should saferoot her then use triangle away and then Odin one more time.
Yea I also like to wipe system sometimes too. I've noticed most every Rom will wipe system during installation anyways tho.

Well, IMHO it's immaterial resetting with Triangle Away. Since KNOX is tripped and cannot be reversed any VZW employee who happens to looks and discovers the KNOX trip can reject the phone (AFAIK).
