Locked Tablet - General Questions and Answers

I have a friend whose tablet is locked with password, and these are my problems:
- No USB debugging.
- No SU.
- No Recovery (for some reason, i cannot boot into stock recovery, tried any combinations. Maybe the bootloader is locked).
*Sigh*, How can i fix this? Any solutions?

It will be helpful to know what device does he have...

Well if it's a Samsung or Sony or any other popular device then you can simply flash a ROM again.
If it's a Chinese tablet then flash a ROM too but it would be a little harder.. I can give some good help in Chinese tablets... But tell us that your device is first

[Q] New to HTC family, Help me please..

Hello,
i just bought up this -
HTC One S this week.. its nice phone..
well, have some issues like: battery and admin access..
so can anyone first clear me if i root or change ROM of this phone will i be able to restore them all so i can avail its warranty in need ?
2nd) How to root this phone , perfectly without any issue.? what will be access + profit i will have if i root this device ?
3rd) How to increase its battery life ?
4) how are ROMs helpful to this phone ? and how to use custom ROM on this phone ???
Waiting for some help..
this is the guide i recommend for rooting your one s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
a custom rom (i recommend either trickdroid or AOKP Jelly Bean) will increase your battery life (most of the time, depends on the rom and the ones i recommended will do just that) and give you more customization options and give you more control of your device.
and if a warranty use is required, you can always flash back to the stock rom and re lock your bootloader
it's as simple as that

hmmm thanks
i will go through it
also, can you just tell me what all other roms are for ? like the one you gave me is for battery life what else options are there ?
and how i can take backup of original rom and bootloader in case i face issue ?
well, i was installing SuperSU but it says-
"There is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem !"
what next ? i am jammed at step 1.
which supersu file are you trying to install? cause you need to grab the proper one. and as for what each rom does. you'll just have to browse the development section of the forums and see what's out there. or you could just flash carelessly and see which one fits you best. that's kind of what i did

hey man !
u said that it can be fixed as original.. ?
but here on HTC page it says after unlocking bootlocker-
"
Step 14
To re-lock your bootloader, in the command prompt, type: fastboot oem lock.
Note: This will not restore the factory default lock, but will simply re-lock the bootloader so no further changes can be made. Furthermore, if you want to unlock your bootloader again, simply repeat step 12 with your original unlock key file to unlock your phone again.
"
That means it will not be available for warranty ???
as i broked its seal ? am i right ?
please explain.. that how i can make my phone back to available for warranty ?
help me please ! stucked at bad point !!!
i am stuck badly now !!!
i tried recovery of various roms available on all threads but nothing worked for me !!!

Your area seems to have received the s3 version ....you will need to remember this when flashing roms ...
.I'm pretty sure the recovery's are compatible with both versions though

Just flash recovery ....follow the guide that was posted in this thread

Request to developers: Port CWM for our device

As you might know, this device doesn't have CWM, only a bad stock recovery which is pretty much unusable and very limited, so my request to the developers is to port CWM for our device or TWRP. There is CWM out for other devices with this chipset, so it will be possible to create CWM for us also I think.
have you tried the CWM by superdragonpt? found here:

Like I said earlier, the chance of that this device has a unlocked bootloader is high as I have even managed to flash a corrupt recovery.
Just a thought. Has any one tried any type of bootstrap and/or boot hijack method of recovery? Something like safestrap, etc? I don't have the device, I was just doing some research for a friend that purchased one of these yesterday.

@Tab stuck on boot screen

First of all sorry if this is wrong section feel free to move to relevant section.
I have a @tab 10 dual core. We got them at work and now the company have gone bust so can't send it back.
It is stuck on the main boot screen I have used the rockbatchtool to reflash the firmware still no joy. At work we had the 13.3 version as well and they sent me a versus tab firmware for that and it worked on the 13.3 @tab, so I have tried the same for the 10 but no joy just a white screen.
I can't force cwm on there as there doesn't seem to be any way of getting it into boot loader as there are no volume buttons.
Does anyone have any idea or if I posted it to them they could have a play in the UK
Thanks

find original firmware for your tab or any similar tablet and flash it
otherwise your tablet is of no use.
I have done that.
Got the original firmware and flashed it back on and still same sticks on @tab boot screen.

Htc One SV no os installed

Hi everyone.
A few days ago I accidentally deleted Android on my phone and my backup is gone.
If someone can help me how to get my Android back i would be very grateful to him
You'll probably have to flash a recovery and a custom (or stock if you can find one) ROM. How did you manage to completely delete Android? What exactly do you mean by this?
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using XDA Free mobile app
delete android? any way... if you destroyed the boot loader mode you must use j-tag or box to reflash your phone
press THANKS button if i helped you....
How can i reflash my phone?
Look up a tutorial for your phone. Each one differs.

[Q] Preparing for KitKat: Return to OTA Path from any ROM...

I used this solution, but in the last update, gave problem, brick my phone. Screwed up my boot loader (I think) to restart enters only in fastboot mode. To use the phone, I have to reboot and choose Normal Boot.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
PS: I did the reflash with stock rom 4.1.2 XT925, error occurs in 'partition' but finishes installing the rom. KK updated to the stock, but the above mentioned problem remains.
Another, forgot to put in the post open1your1eyes0 that this solution is only for the XT926. That screwed with my phone.
Sorry for my English.
Nobody?

It explains about 3 posts down in that thread how to use with 925. Either way, you'll need to flash stock FW to get you started fresh.
