[TOOL] Lock/Unlock Bootloader + Remove Tampered | Aroma GUI

This tool will allow you remove the Tampered flag from your bootloader. It will also allow you to easily Lock and Unlock your Bootloader directly from recovery.
No root required since it is run in recovery, however you still must be S-OFF.
Before using this tool you need to be sure you are using the latest version of recovery as the M7 U/UL TWRP requires at least version 2.6.3.3 for this package to work. The current downloads for both CWM and TWRP can found below:
The latest M7 U/UL TWRP can be downloaded HERE.
The latest M7 U/UL CWM can be downloaded HERE.
***[UPDATE] - It seems that the latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 has been pulled due to some minor issues. If your TWRP version doesn't work please use CWM for now until a updated TWRP release is made.
This will work for Verizon and Sprint as well, however they have different versions of these recoveries, so please make sure you are using the correct recovery for your device.
Saying this again in case you missed it: YOU MUST BE S-OFF!
To use the tool simply copy the zip file to your phone and then boot to your custom recovery and choose install. Then browse to where you copied the file and select it. The aroma installer will begin. Follow the steps outlined in the pictures below and choose the options you want to run.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now you can just keep this file on your phone and Lock and Unlock at anytime without a PC and without losing data.
***Credits***
S-trace for originally discovering the location of the lock status flag. See this thread.
scotty1223 for his ADB shell commands. Threads HERE and HERE. Scotty was also very helpful to me in understanding some of the default values.
Just to be clear I did not just copy and paste scotty1223's commands into a aroma installer. The echo command can be problematic in aroma, so I developed original code for all four commands. The end result is the same in that the data in the partitions is changed as needed.

Demo and Troubleshooting

***Troubleshooting***
If the installer stays on this screen fore more than a few seconds, then it means you need to delete/format cache. This can be done within both recoveries. You may need to reboot recovery after clearing cache and begin the installer again. This seems to happen more on CWM than TWRP.
If the installer runs but your bootloader doesn't change, it is proably one of these things:
You are not S-Off
You do not have the latest version of recovery (I recommend TWRP)

Nice Thanks @crushalot
Quick question (if you have time): why do we need latest recovery? what would happen on an older recovery?

Will this work on Rumrunners custom HBOOT or is a stock HBOOT only recommended?

On older recoveries, the worst that could happen is that it may not work. It won't hurt to try.
The reason you need an updated recovery is because on TWRP before version 2.6.3.3 the partition wasn't writable so the actions didn't work. Older CWM should be ok but I only tested the latest.

It will work on any firmware. Hboot is not touched. This only modifies partitions mmcblk0p3 and mmcblk0p7.

Hi crushalot, I just noticed TWRP version 2.6.3.3 was pulled and back to 2.6.3.0, just FYI

Awesome that this can be done fron recovery, let alone in an Aroma install! Looks good! :good:
But I am having trouble seeing the use for me personally? Is this so that Ican lock my botloader and download Official OTAs (if thats required)? Or is this just something in case I have to send it off for service?
Or am I missing something here?

. Warranty purposes. Or for example in my case if I decided to upgrade my phone with jump, I can make everything look like never even happened. It's quite useful.

Yeah, seems like it was pulled because the charging while in recovery doesn't work correctly.
It still works for everything else. Not sure if they will just re-release 2.6.3.3 when fixed or make a new version.
I will update the link and info in the OP.
Thanks

Also sometimes a locked bootloader is needed for promotions like the 25 GB of Google Drive space.
There can be a variety of reasons one might need to toggle it.

Looking and unlocking won't wipe data? Like a typical htcdev unlock does?

It directly modifies the partitions that conatin the bootloader status, without touching /data or /system

It shouldn't be like that, but that's how it is right now. I'm not sure if there's any fix available, but I guess an updated version of the recovery will be released soon, that has this problem fixed..

Same here. Tested and working. I am on Mokee rom now.

Thanks for the guide but I found something wierd happening. After succesfully flashing twrp and rebooting it goes in twrp when I restart after that and try to go in recovery with volume up +power it takes me to stock recovery? Any ideas??:/

So version 3 works without any touch problems?

I'm using the v3 linked in this thread and the touch problem still exists. I have to wait 2-3 minutes before it works.
I tested the 2.8.7.0 version from miui.com and touch screen worked immediately. I'm not sure if it was just lucky or not, because I only tested it once. Maybe worth trying it and see how it works?

It'd weird because the one I have some times freezes and some times doesn't

Just reflash TWRP then reboot to TWRP, it should ask you if you want to either use it as read only or allow modification, select allow modification. Hope that helps.

Yup, this version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 should be fine with touch problems, this one i'm using now.

Installed Nougat, trying to re-root, TWRP reboots halfway when installing SuperSU

I updated to EMUI 5 with nougat, i think i lost my root. Went back to TWRP and about 60% of the way through the install phone reboots by itself with the phone not being rooted. Tried different superSU versions along with an adb sideload, same thing. Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong?

I am also trying to get root on an H8 FRD-L04. So does this boot.img file get flashed in twrp like any other zip file or do I need to choose different options in twrp to write it to the correct place?
Also can you tell me which version of twrp you are using? There seem to be several floating around on xda.
Have you had any other issues with apps that need root since you did this? I'd like to get my favorite xposed mods working on my H8.

Unzip the file first, that should leave you with bootr.img I think it's called. Make a backup just in case, but yes, flash it just like you would anything else, no need to wipe anything and no I did not change any settings.
I'm using TWRP 3.0.3 found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
I have tried at least 5 apps that have needed root and have not had any issues. I haven't tried xposed yet though.

And so the bootr.img is 'pre-rooted" so I don't then need to flash "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip" or any other SU zip file, or format the Data partition as some other threads have mentioned, to get root, is that correct?

I did not format or wipe anything. I simply backed up my boot.img and flashed bootr.img. I did not flash anything else. After that, I rebooted and installed phh Superuser from the play store. That's it.

Works great, was a fun night of figuring this out together glad it worked out! Everything is functioning properly!
Just remember when you first load into TWRP you will need to go to wipe > format data and type yes.
This will erase all data so be sure to backup all your personal files to your SD card using the phone before you format. Then proceed to use the above instructions!

I got it flashed successfully and can get to it but it's asking for a decrypt password. I never set one up, so I'm not sure what to do. I still tried to format but it gives an error about inability to mount.
Edit - even with the error, it still has me set up Android again but it still wants a decrypt password and I can't mount.

Its normal. look at the other threads for twrp they always say to format the data after a reboot. Maybe add it to your tutorial thingy.

Thank you for this! Once my sata cables come in the mail and I get my Windows copy up and running on my second hard drive I need to create an ISO .img from the KDZ file you gave me. Need to get my phone back to stock, and im thankful you guys got TWRP working on this great phone.

Create a IMG from kdz? Don't you just use the kdz in lg up or something to reflash?

That sounds like allot less pain in the ass. Can you give me a quick breakdown of how to reset into stock using the KDZ. Dont need go type paragraps or anything just a brief summary this is all new to me.

Heres a tutorial. Its made for the aristo 1 but im sure it should work with the aristo 2. Use the lg up program.here
Just make sure to use the kdz made for the aristo 2 that you already have.
Forgot you may need uppercut aswell. here sometimes it gives a error which uppercut fixes.

Has anyone tried any other cameras with this phone? I was thinking of trying to flash CameraNext or SnapDragon but I've never tried either on a stock rom, so I'm not sure whether I'd bootloop.

I love the Google Camera, just sucks that it saves strictly to Internal.

It only works up to be version 3 right? That's the last one I could find for non arm64.

Hey guys quick question... So I accidentally wiped system and didn't make a backup. I can get into twrp but have no os to flash. What can I do to get my phone working again? Sorry and thanks!

I am trying to find good camera apps for this phone because the stock one is not that good. I will try those two that you have just posted.

I've tried finding other LG camera apps but none would work. Let me know how CameraNext works (if it does).
OpenCamera is giving me terrible quality.
Bacon Camera seems ok.
Google Camera is ok, but limited.
That's all I've tried. I know this camera should be capable of some good pictures.
Edit - I found an APK only install for CameraNextMod v10. This might be the best we can get with this camera unless the zip versions are compatible. Here's a link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aLdiT1B2TcDFL0vfcmwYz6L7EdxqgFKj/view?usp=sharing

So, I just went back into TWRP for the first time since and it's still asking for a password to decrypt. I don't want to wipe everything again. Any ideas? Nothing is mounted and I can't mount without the password.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite got messed up
Hi there!
I have just received my new Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone and wanted to pass all of my data from my old phone to it in a way that it was required to be rooted.
KingRoot didn't work on this new phone, so I unlocked bootloader and tried to install TWRP recovery on my phone.
Installing to the recovery partition did not work. I searched the error it gave me and found a thread saying that flashing it to the boot partition worked for them. So I did. Next thing that happened is that my phone did not boot into the OS (operating system) ever again. It only booted TWRP.
I have since been able to remove TWRP (though I made a back up of it) but the phone still stays on just the loading part before going to the OS.
I have since been able to get back the fastboot and stock recovery, but the phone will not start into the OS anymore.
How can I fix this?
I have been searching for ways to restore my android to the 8.1 Oreo version that it was.
Can I do it with this Tool All In One? Please help! Thank you in advance!! Much appreciated!!

hello
i have unlocked bootloader and wait for TWRP and want to root my phone.
Can I flash TWRP and root with this tool easy? And will I lost all data if do that?

I would suggest using the root method mentioned here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952
Twrp does not have good results for most people.

With this method I will lost all data on my phone and I do not want to setup phone 1 more time. Twice was just enough
I know that already but thank you anyway

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should not lose any data just installing magisk

Yes...my fault. My BL is unlocked already.
But I posted in that thread...because of some reason does not work. But this is not thread about it
Thanks for help

So...Installed TWRP but does not recognize anything in internal storage. Not recognize SD card.
When boot again to TWRP goes to "something"...some kind of empty stock recovery with android logo and nothing more.
Oh man...that will be interesting ride...to put TWRP or root device

Because your not supposed to install the twrp image just boot from it and if you do install it then you have to flash the original boot image for which ever 8.1 update your on to get rid of it.
This is explained on the team win page for daisy wish i had read that first after re flashing my os twice and boot image once trying to install this am just using the phone as is for now until i get the urge to try again

oops sorry i should check what thread this is before trying to answer a question i blame alcohol .
Thing is there are posts out on the net that advices people with the a2 lite to install the twrp image to their inactive slot and not to just boot it and that's where things seem to start going wrong.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this tool and sorry i just dived in here and confused people.
maybe some kind passing mod will get rid of the post apologies again
