[Q] XT926 4.4.2 Questions.

what information do we have on rooting after the 4.4.2 ota update? Also is there any information on unlocking the bootloader? I'm trying to see what other people have tried before I keep going at the same things that have failed. Also is there any information on changing the imei/flashing this? My end goal is cyanogenmod on Virgin Mobile. I've done this with other phones and I just got my hands on this one but there doesn't seem to be as much into on this as others.

Unlock Boot loader after ota? no probably never.
Is it flashable to virgin mobile? maybe, not 100% sure but check out this thread by @dragonhart6505 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389740

****. So I'm holding an unrootable piece of crap? What information do we have on methods of root attempted and such. Maybe I can contribute to this I've got nothing but time.
Edit: your thread unlocks gsm support. VM would probably need me to reprovision everything and change my IMei to match a donor phone.

I've been attempting various root methods for 4.4.2 and for the RAZR in general. I've had no luck. Is there a collective of people working on this cause I'd love to contribute however I can.

Just as an FYI, that is called "lambda" which is a greek symbol.
Also, this works on 183.46.10 (the current KK ota that came out a few months back), but it does NOT work with the latest soak test (183.46.14), so you need to stay on 183.46.10, root with towelroot and then unlock your bootloader. If you do not do this AND if you take the soak test, you will be unable to root as a root exploit for 183.46.14 does not exist.
I don't want to say it won't ever be rooted, but as more and more exploits are patched up, it becomes harder and harder to root this phone, so your best bet is to root and unlock the bootloader on 183.46.10. Don't take the chance on whether a root exploit will be found or not. You'll save yourself, and the rest of us, a lot of headaches.
If you have already applied the 183.46.14 before rooting and unlocking your bootloader, you are SOL. There is NO way to go back to the previous version and root and unlock, so please do NOT ask how to revert back from the current soak test (183.46.14) and root and unlock your bootloader because you can't. You just can't, so don't ask.
I repeated what I just said because people always ask "well, if you flash back to 183.46.10". The problem is, the exploit that allowed unlocking of the bootloader is in a protected area that even unlocked bootloaders cannot write to without the proper encrytion keys. Once that area has been patched via the latest soak test, you have no way to write over it again because you would need the proper encryption key inside the image to flash in order for it to work. Unless Motorola becomes nice and gives you the key, it won't work. And the previous OTA's key is now invalid, so again, flashing the previous FXZ (183.46.10) will not work. It will just skip writing the protect area.
Clear as mud? Hopefully.

thats lambda....but you knew that

Samsung Galaxy s7 Locked Bootloader help

I need to know if there are any solutions on how to crack this sgs7 to gain root access. If not now, then does anyone (like the top notch coders that are totally in depth with hacking phones etc) know if it'll be made possible to root. I'd absolutely love to gain root access on this phone. Im sure a lot of people are fuming right now.. As am. I. Any help will he greatly appreciated on this subject

You can learn all you need to know in the AT&T AND T-mobile S7 and S7 Edge forums. They have active discussions going about the state of the bootloader.

Hi
I have the US version with a locked bootloader

yes go to that threat

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that someone did try kingoroot and it did not work.
Supposedly someone has got root, but I guess we're still waiting for confirmation from a reputable dev.

Any word about hellsgod91? About root?

dude chill out. when and if the root comes out you'll know about it. trust me.

I apologize in advance for my ignorance on the subject matter at hand, however, I lost many pictures on my S7 (stored to the internal memory of the phone) and have been diligently attempting to recover them since Friday. Is it possible to recover them without the root? I have tried a number of software (rooting and recovery) and nothing has worked.... I started researching a few things and found the locked bootlander to be the reason it will not root and recover? Is this correct and if so, is there any possible way around this? I am truly shocked that I haven't bricked my phone yet with all I have tried. My email is [email protected] should anyone have any suggestions or valuable help. I am desperate!

I wish someone would just create an app that can unlock bootloader and such models such as the SM-G930P SGS7. Patience.. Yes I know.

Bounty for unlocking bootloader for vs990 (progress has been made)

Good afternoon people of XDA,
Today is the dawn of a new day. A day where we begin the road to unlocking the bootloader to something that many believe is unlockable. Me and a few other users are starting a bounty to bring the incentive to life for all active developers. You can find my previous thread here. Now, when I say progress has been made, I mean that we have gotten into fastboot, we have donation incentives and we already have root so our tools are there we just have to find the exploit. Every day people are finding new exploits furthering our cause into reaching our goal. Now to the developers who want to pursue this, I've very much so tried to get active commands in fastboot but basically its just a dead fastboot for right now. The board on this phone and technologies behind it are so similar to its predecessors that somethings got to give. If you are interested in this cause, i.e. donating or deving on it, please contact me here, or email me at [email protected]
This is in our grasps friends. Spread the word, grab your fellow developers and lets get this thing to be a free wad of cash for whoever can bust it. Lets do this.
Attached is the spreadsheet for the current donations.

this kind of things never work...i mean, you make a donation and the people or the persons behind the scenes when getting high values like 400-500$ then buy a new phone and move on letting the desired phone to get development in the trash!!
Noooo, people should see, if a year old phone never came to life in development in the first 6-8 months then the development for it is dead and if you like to custumize the phone and flash things you need to move to a more flashable-friend device!

I have to agree with this. The Tmobile version has unlocked bootloader yet barely no development. What would make me that unlocking VS990 bootloader would all of a sudden spur development.

I personally (and I think many other users) don't really need cooked roms. With gravity box, xposed and some other apps, I can "cook" my own rom (and believe me, it won't be that hard). All we need is a method for rooting. Using an android without rooting is even worse than an iphone without jailbreaking since iphones are undoubtedly smoother

Indeed, a rooting method for version above MM is the most importing thing for us rather than flashing custom rom. However, system-less root is need to root MM or above and this is required modifying boot.img, therefore, bootloader unlocking is need. Unless, we have found a way to sign the modified boot.img to deceive the offical bootloader.

What did you mean by "unless"? Have you found an evidence that MM bootloader is unlockable or not?..

I mean even if the bootloader is not unlockable, somethings can be done to let us perform the same things just like bootloader is unlocked.
For example, some dev in G2 and G3 have released a tool called "Bump!" before that can sign any third party image and let it able to be run on offical locked LG bootloader.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/bump-sign-unlock-boot-images-lg-phones-t2935275
But of course, since LG have fixed the bug, we can no longer do the same tricks now.

What version of Android you are going to add root? I wonder that you cannot simply add root in /system after Android 6.0.

For MM, unless you've found a way to get the SELinux context needed, repacking the system image will not work.

anyone having any luck with rooting MM?

I think at this point what we really need is a small set of testers who have a good insurance policy on their phones and are willing to risk bricking their phones. We've got the outline of a method which looks viable, but the details haven't been worked out and is hence likely to produce a few bricks before we get it working.

Sorry for dropping of the face of the planet for the past two months. In testing with my device it ended up being FUBAR after wiping my aboot completely and with that the phone would not boot to anything but a black screen. I sent it into LG and after some time they finally just replaced my motherboard. But the absolute sad part is that they have me upgraded to 6.0 which absolutely is crushing my world. SO until further notice I will not be testing the unlocking of the bootloader anymore but I will make efforts here in a few weeks to start work on rooting the device. @alvislee[email protected]

dont CAP @ me. provide your proof/source of root on mate 30 pro.

or lets not have a serious discussion... stop trolling and giving false hope to someone asking for help for someone with so many comments and a know it all attitude your being pretty unhelpful and seemingly petty. laugh react all you want, to obtain root you either need an exploit or an unlocked bootloader neither if which is available for the mate 30 pro. again feel free to PROVE me wrong.

To keep you updated: A phone's Android is rooted when switch-user ( AKA SU ) - binary is present and accessible.
Again: It's nonsense to tell here that an exploit or even an unlocked bootloader is necessary to have a phone's Android rooted.
BTW: Smart users replace the restricted Toybox with a non-restricted Toybox - means what has the SU cmdlet inbuilt.

generally speaking the easiest way of achieving root is through unlocking the bootloader and then installing a custom recovery and then flashing su binary to gain root. how do you change anything in the system partition if it remains read only, ive seen your other comments on others looking to achieve root, all the help you seem to offer is change current toybox with toybox 0.8.5 but no insight on procedure or information to do so.
as for saying google it, it dose not provide any clear information even when digging.
I myself would love to have my 2 mate 30 pro's rooted and have searched for solutions for the last year+
this is a forum to help and educate so there is no need to be condescending
if this is so easy for you, how do you achieve this? what steps would one need to take to achieve this themselves? where to find the information if you do not want to explain yourself?
what use is it to comment its possible figure it out?
