You CANNOT unlock the bootloader on Ultra, only on Developer Edition Maxx and X. Reflash stock firmware using RSD Lite, clearly something went wrong the first time around. That or try a factory reset. DON'T try to mess with the stock firmware you are flashing, it sounds like that is what you are trying to do, that will cause problems
i​Yachter99. I can't its says I canT downgrade when I try RDS lite to put stock firmware
well turns out it was an isis issue that they had to manually change something , and I got a new sim card its all working now im on 4.4

Hello if someone could help me with my sch-i535 I would appreciate it soooo much. I bricked my phone by trying to flash cyanogenmod after taking the 4.3 update... Obviously I am new. I tried everything , lots of tries with Odin , I made an image on my sd card with win32 disc imager , I tried a bootloader unlock code with Odin...nothing worked. Then I went onto a Verizon forum , and the very thing that hurt me , the Verizon update assistant , un-bricked my sch-i535. The update assistant has an option "Repair Assistant" I ran this as the instructions said ...connected my phone to my laptop , and unbelievably an hour or so later it finished , and my phone just booted up. I had almost given up...I was ready to do a JTAG. Also my phone was updated to 4.4.2 Kit Kat.
So , my question is: Is there any way to flash cyanogenmod , on the sch-i535 after the 4.3 update ? I read somewhere in the forums that the Firmware can be changed , so that the bootloader is not locked.....or am I doomed to use the Verizon , bloated , battery stealing software ?

Nope. Once you've taken the OTA to 4.3 ML1 your stuck on a locked bootloader permanently
There is no way to downgrade or flash custom roms. Your limited to TW(Touchwiz) based only and anything other than those is out of the question

Thanks for replying ... That is hard for me to understand , my phone was bricked ... and obviously Verizon has a line or two of code , that unlocked my bootloader , inside their "Repair assistant". The repair assistant then installed Kit Kat on my phone. If the bootloader can be unlocked by code ... and Kit Kat installed , then it stands to reason that other ROM's could be downloaded , if someone could figure out the code that Verizon uses to unlock the sch-i535. I know that this would help more than one or two people , from reading the forums.

The bootloader used to be able to be unlocked on this phone prior to the 4.3 ML1 update. Just because the firmware can be changed by Verizon does not mean the bootloader is unlocked. If it were as simple as figuring out the code Verizon used, then the bootloaders on all the locked phones on Verizon would have been unlocked by now. The problem is there is a security key and signature verification that is found in several partitions on the phone. The signatures must match or the phone will not boot up. The repair assistant was using official Verizon firmware which contained all the proper signature verifications. That is why it was able to install Kit Kat on your phone. A lot of smart people have been trying for several years now to find or crack the signature verification checks on quite a few phones without success. On Verizon, once you have a phone with a locked bootloader, you are stuck with that and their bloated software.
Hi All,
The short of a long story is that I just changed carriers and found out way late that I couldn't bring my Sprint phone to MetroPCS. So now I'm using the budget PCS On5 that came with the deal when we signed up.
I successfully loaded TRWP and then rooted however, I didn't know about FRP until it smacked me in the face. The root went fine but later SU prompted me to update the binary and when it did, it tripped factory reset protection and soft bricked my phone.
I want to reinstall stock OS on this phone but it appears that I have a software version that I haven't been able to find on the web yet. I found the stock rom for the MetroPCS On5 easily enough but it's Revision 0.0 and the box I have for the phone says REV0.4.
When I try to Odin Flash the REV0.0 version, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 fail. So I guess I had the latest software on my phone and the phone thinks I'm trying to roll back using the 0.0 revsion.
My question is this, does anyone here have the stock rom for G550T1 REV0.4? Help!
If nobody does, maybe I can still fix this phone. I have a TRWP backup from the sister phone (same model same revision 0.4) that I'm using right now but I can't get back into TRWP on the soft bricked phone to recover that way to use the backup file.
Next I thought I might take the backup files and turn it into a rom and just flash that. However, with the tutorials I followed I kept running into problems. When I went to unpack the files per the tutorial, my rar software said that the file was corrupt. Maybe it is. but maybe not. It was my first time attempting to make a rom. If I can't find the software I need, could any of you Android geniuses help me get this backup into a flashable format?
I have to admit I'm daunted by the FRS in 5.0 and above. Is it defeatable? How do you root newer Android versions?
Thanks!
I did the same thing to my phone. did you get yours fixed?> if so could you provide me with the rom?
I haven't found the fix yet. Hopefully somebody will come through with a helping hand!
I finally got it figured out! So here is what i did and hopefully it will work for you.
1. I Odin flashed a good BL from the ROM REV0.0 floating around on the net. So at least I could now get into download mode.
2. Then I used Kies3 > Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. It will ask you for your model number and then when you click ok it will ask you for a SN.
3. The trick is that Samsung doesn't put the SN that you need on the phone or the box. (personally, I couldn't find it on the phone either once I got it up and running) so go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3435457/page46 and get a SN from post #454 and use that. (don't forget to say thanks)
4. Click Ok. Let it work, and max and relax.
Mine took about 10 minutes. Hopefully this will work for you too! Thanks XDA!
Help!
What is BL from the ROM REV0.0? I need your help, I have the MetroPCS On5 and I installed Reborn ON5 I want to go back to the MetroPCS ROM because the camera and the audio do not work and I tried to install the original ROM through Odin but it does not work I get an error. What I can do? I would like to use this method but I do not have very clear files needed.
You could help me bro, I'll thank you
Hello.
I've read through the forums but am still quite unsure if i can restore my honor 6x from soft brick. It boots up but i get stuck in rescue mode if i have it charged Or it will just boot-loop if its not plugged in.
Im unable to use the DLOAD method. If i enter fastboot and use the three button method. I get put to the rescue screen. However i may be using the wrong firnware? Possibly.
Its a China version. PE-UL00 given to me from a friend, he said he had restored it to factory settings. So i wanted to upgrade the android kit kat to lollipop version. It was running emui 3. Kitkat 4.42. I believe updated the wrong firmware file through the local update method I download from firmware finder.
Basically from what ive read through the forums would i need to unlock the bootloader and flash stock firmware? . I have the information to acquire the bootloader key i believe and. I have downloaded honor multi tool and huawei multi tool, as well as adb drivers
I get confused as to which stock rom or. Firmware i should download or use. And i cant access the phone to see the build number. All i know is that it's. A China version. PINE-UL00. HONOR 6X. I do remember seeing
UL00_V100R001CHNC00B200 or similar when i was able to access the phone. But it also had custom at the bottom so i wasn't sure if it was a custom rom.
Any suggestions for a noob. Thankyou.

I downloaded dc unlocker, but it doesn't support the boot loader id for PE-UL00 honor 6x. Im still waiting on huawei for the bootloader code. I think k have to log in for 14 days consecutively? I keep getting that message when I try to unlock.
Also the firmware I tried to update it was PE-UL00C00361 OTA-MF from firmware finder.
I downloaded dc phoenix unlocker. Found the correct stock firmware to the best of my knowledge and the phone back to normal. After I was able to update to marshmallow through system updates.
Thank you anyway
Hello, My Sprint S7 was frp locked and I wanted to sim unlock it. I downloaded odin v3.12. ADB does not see the phone. I flashed with a firmware file. It is now in a boot loop where it says system install. At one time it came up and said it failed and to use Smart Switch emergency repair. I downloaded smart switch and it says unsupported device. I can put the phone in download mode. I have searched and gotten firmware. Everything I try fails in odin. Is it bricked for good or is there a way to fix it? Are there reputable companies that can unbrick it for a small fee? This site is tough to navigate and everytime I search it seems I come up with another place. One had a link to download firmware to flash and fix bricked phone but when I tried to open it my antivirus said it was full of adware. The phone is SM-G930P running 7.0. I was going to flash to a universal one or at&t. I can try odin and screenshot the results if I need to. I am willing to try about anything. Thanks in advance for any help. I have another one (they came as a pair) it is not frp locked but is simlocked. Not blacklistedd but it does show an unpaid balance. I cannot get a hold of the person I bought them from. I know what to check now though. Lesson learned.

Hey. Thanks for responding. I downloaded samfirm. It says device not supported. I have been searching around to make sure I try to flash the correct software. At this point I am not as concerned about sim unlocking as just getting it to boot up again. Is it possible I tried to go further back and an older bootloader bricked it? Thanks

Hey. I have been trying to download from updato. I guess the free download is not very good. It says 2 days and keeps disconnecting. Fianlly aborted when about halfway through. I have found another site to give a shot. Maybe I just did not have the correct file the first time. Thanks for checking in. I appreciate any input or ideas.
Btw, the other s7 I have is working. It is sim locked from Sprint. It is not listed as stolen or lost. To flash to Sprint would I just use the latest download? Thanks

The saga continues. I did download stock firmware. It still failed when trying to flash with Odin. I can get it to load the recovery menu and the download menu now. Before the recovery menu would not load. on the log the last two things say
xbl.elf
FAIL! (Auth)
I tried Kies and Switch, neither support the device. I am currently downloading a stock rom from SamFirm, once I figured out the exact way to type on model and region code. I will try that in a little while and search for odin auth fials for the s7.
Thanks again for the help. I have learned quite a bit and it is fascinating. Any thoughts on the fail would be greatly appreciated. I hope after I get the stock rom back I can find the correct process to unlock it.

your link seems dead or not correct. - edit: link correct, was not working due to my vpn...
I assume he patched a G8+ boot.img with magisk manager.
boot image can be extracted from official Doha firmware found here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/
manual on how to do this can be found on official magisk manager website.
be aware that when unlocking bootloader your phone will reset to factory settings.
This is what I did. Yes..
Worked great for my G8+. I guess people should just check which stock ROM file they get from lolinet to make sure it's the right one. I say that because, in my case, lolinet list had two files for the Brazilian stock ROM. I went to Settings / About / Version number and downloaded the matching file. Don't know whether the other file would work the same or not. Just didn't want to risk having any issue since G8+ is somewhat new and there's not much info on solving root problems on the Internet.
Hi,
Couple of questions
Does the Bootloader have to be Unlocked to flash the modified Boot image?
Or can I use update option?
Are Motorola releasing unlock numbers for Bootloader now?
Thanks, Carl

Hello, Carl. I guess it's not possible unless there's a flaw in the security. There are some articles on the Internet about that. Google "is-there-a-way-to-root-an-android-phone-without-unlocking-the-bootloader". I can't post URLs yet.
As for Motorola devices, I was able to unlock the bootloader without problems on my G8+, last week. The only caveat, I'm my case, is that I had to wait some days for the unlock bootloader option be available under developer options. It was disabled by default in my G8+. And, yes, they're releasing bootloader unlocking codes.
THANKS!
Have anybody with a rooted device tried to get wide angle camera working in gcam ports?
Thanks.

magisk module debloater and also sdmaid helped with most of the bloatware, the only thing I could not remove was google files but I just deactivated it.
a really weird thing happened with the April 1st update, basically the update started automatically and it failed at 3/6 so I tought I should restart my phone and test it again, but it got stuck in bootloop and I had to reflash a rom with fastboot cmd.
I think that's because I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone, cause u lose the right for updates after you do that, but for some reason lenovo/moto update system goes automatically the next second u connect to the internet and fails halfway thru so u have a higher chance to ruin your phone or something, instead of denying the update from the start
so the solution I found was to try and delete "moto update service" app that I can't force stop or disable but I couldnt find it in system/app or system/priv-app, that's because the app name is "3c_ota", so deleting that with SD Maid app worked and the "update system" option in settings is reverted to a sort of default android one that lets you check manually.
Had a similiar issue. I soft bricked my phone (bootloop) and installed a stock rom from an unofficial source. The funny thing is, this version did make like 3 or 4 system upgrades to PPSI.29.65-51 without any issue. But the 1st April updated failed to install. I then flashed the official 1st april stock image with the moto rescue and smart assistant. After that, the official ROM tells me my phone is not allowed to do updates because the security of this phone is compromised and I should contact lenovo support
Those upates are kinda annoying if they don't work, I guess I'll just completey flash the phone every 6-12 months with the moto assistant.
yeah you should always have a backup rom that you can download with moto assistant or from lolinet g8 roms (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/)
I also got the same message saying that my phone is compromised ( unlocked bootloader + rooted) and it won't receive any further updates, but I just deleted the "3c_ota" app (the moto update service) which is bad cause if forces automatic updates the second u connect to internet.
I'm not going to touch any further updates or security patches until android 10, which I will attempt to flash via moto assistant
