Hello Everyone.
I recently rooted and moved my blaze to Android Jellybean via the Cyanogenmod. I also want to try to do a sim unlock on this phone, but I see that dialer codes do not work to get to the debug or other hidden menus. Is there any easy way around this, or must I somehow bring the phone back to ICS/default? Thanks!

I believe you will have to get back to stock ICS before unlock. You could do a backup, so that getting back to your current ROM would be easier. Actually, there's a thread that explains everything. Find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400915

build number: Grj22
software version: V10k-oct-11-2011

an please press the thanks button if this helps you or contains information you need too so the thread can be moved up
Wouldn't we need to unlock the bootloader first in order to install CWM? Even then, wouldn't we also need a custom version of it made for this phone? Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't we have to do this first before any modding can get done?

i don't know to much about boot loaders but i was able to root my phone without unlocking the boot loader. But if i do need it unlocked, i would need to be ran through how to do it for my phone. An i suppose a custom CWM would have to be made unless another version would be compatible with it
From what I am reading about installing CWM on other phones, an unlocked bootloader would be needed. You don't necessarily need the bootloader to be unlocked to root this phone since we are using SuperOneClick. We also need a custom CWM unless another version is compatible that is correct. There is currently no known ways of unlocking the bootloader for this phone.
can anybody tell me how to hard reset my LG MyTouch?? please and thank you

If you mean factory rest your lg mytouch then all you do is go to setting>privacy>factory data reset

Yes that would be correct. But it would be great if this phone's boot loader was similar to another phone's boot loader so that i can test the settings to see if the commands would work. Then no really hard work would have to be done i guess But I also just opened up this topic so if someone is working on a solutionn soon us lg mytouch users can be notified of its coming arrival.
ive rooted this phone.. Havent had time to tinker with anything yet though i just rooted a couple hours ago. Will let you know.

Hi I'm completely new at rooting and was just wondering if rooting using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825& would cause my phone to be wiped.
I am not planning on flashing any ROMs, just getting rid of all the stuff verizon likes to put in. Thanks in advance!

When you root your phone you're merely adding administrative access to your phone. You should read more into this before doing anything to your 500 dollar phone.
That method works great! And no you will not lose anything. But like the person above me said, do your homework and make sure you know what you're doing.
Good luck, and enjoy your root access
Oh, and while using the casual root method, go ahead and unlock the boot loader and flash CWM recovery right away. Casual will do this all for you. Just choose the options from the drop down menu.
It'll save your a few extra steps in the future if you ever do decide to try out a custom Rom someday.

Hey Guys,
So I'm an idiot. I rooted a tablet 2 years ago and thought that made me the bees knees. Now I can't get past a "system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone" screen.
What I did:
-Got Root with TowelRoot
-Downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager
-From that, downloaded CWM recovery for my device (from their app's UI)
It was at this point that I thought things were going to be easy. I'd be able to root and run my own rom without struggling for 3 days like I did with my tablet.
Unfortunately, I think I failed to unlock my bootloader. I can't figure out a way to get passed this screen.
I've downloaded Odin in hopes of being able to fix it , but the phone won't even show up on my PC now.
I started going through this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 thread, but I was curious if I'm even trying to solve the right problem.
Does anyone know if someone has already helped someone through this same issue in a thread? I'm at a loss and wish I hadn't touched anything on my phone.
I would really appreciate any pushes in the right direction. I'm kind of scared. Thanks!
Hmmm, around the 30th time trying to boot it, it gave me an option to cancel and started up the stock OS.
If anyone can point me towards getting around this jail cell, that would be fantastic. I've seen a bit about SafeStrap, but can't find any recent threads on it.

You soft bricked it. Sadly your on the locked bootloader 4.4.2 NE1 and you can't run a custom recovery like cwm, twrp or so on. Your only option is safestrap. I forget off hand what you have to do. I'll do some quick research

Thanks man! I struggled through most of the night and I think I figured everything out. Installed a slim rom via safestrap. Just moved that to the stock partition/slot because I noticed my battery was dropping like crazy.
Do we know if Verizon will be locking all bootloaders going forward, or if there will be any development towards roms that can work with it?
I wasn't sure how to close this thread either

For the most part they will of course try to lock down most phones, the most current phones that have been unlocked are the M8 and the G3 thanks to the development team over on there respected forums. The nexus 6 should also come with an unlocked bootloader but verizon will mess with that one as well somehow

I want to root my phone and I'm also considering Cyanogen mod (or any other OS, I'm open to suggestions). The thing is that I just bought this and it's an AT&T phone, but I'm working on getting it factory unlocked (the request is in with AT&T). If I flash a new OS will I still be able to unlock it or does that require the AT&T OS? If I go to Cyanogen, can I still use cool features like whatever Android SIRI equivalent there is or swype keyboard? I won't ask HOW to root it or install the OS... I've done these before and think I can handle it again without issue

Firstly this is not the Q&A section
You must be on stock rom to be able to unlock. So you'll need to do that first.
You can have any app from the PlayStore like swype just like on stock.

Hey guys, I got a used TB that I need to flash 4.04 onto for testing an app. It's a used Verizon device running 2.2.1 that is completely stock. Seems Revolutionary is dead and I can't find a clear way to get to 4.0.4. I don't have an active sim so I can't go that route. So what are my options? Also, can I go into Verizon and have them throw a SIM in?
that's what I am trying to figure out. let me know if you find out what to do.
