Sup guys, probably you've read a lot of these kind of threads, but please take a minute to check my situation
Some data first:
Samsung Focus, software version 7.0 (7004), zune is installed on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit edition.
Sooo, I was able to do all that unlock wizardry, and sideload a few apps.
Then, suddenly the unlock tool stopped working, showing me the typical "connect to usb and open Zune, you retard" stuff.
Then I notice all the apps stopped working (Microsoft has revoked this app, please uninstall blah blah we're evil blah).
So I read that I needed to unlock my phone again to make the apps work once again.
and there I went, reinstalled zune, run the unlocker in compatiblity mode, reset the phone, and still the unlocker shows me the stupid alert.
Any advice? Can't even add my custom ringtones!
ALSO: Is there another way to unlock the phone?
Search for prevent wp7 from relocking, its easy and only takes a few steps
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Yep, I'm totally doing that, but I have to unlock again first
I have the same problem ):, any solution?

I did that yesterday and no luck :/
Gracias de todas formas
mmm yo lo que hice fue resetear el telefono y luego volverme a enviar el .cer y el chevron funciono como nuevo,
intenta enviarte el certificado denuevo, sin importar que ya lo tengas
No hay caso , solo me abre el programa, pero al hacer click en "unlock" me tira lo del usb y zune
pero ya hiciste eso? hacer el hard reset de el celular y volverte a enviar el certificado?
eso fue lo que me funciono a mi S:
Have you tried this method? Worked for me when I ran into the same issue. Did this and then made it to where it won't relock.

I'll try it when I get back,
Ok, so I found 2 step-by-step methods, but both ask for the phone to be unlocked. And that's my problem
I had a similar problem where i could unlock easily, but one day, i just couldnt unlock my phone again (pre-nodo at the time)
So i just hard reset my phone back to the day i bought it, and it worked straight off again.... never had any problems with it after that...
The hard-reset is the one you do with the power button, the camera and the volume -?
I tried that and no luck
Have you tried unlocking from another computer? I don't know exactly how or why (probably related to me screwing with the Windows registry,) but the Chevron unlock stopped working on my laptop but would run fine on my desktop computer.
If the unlock works from another computer, apply the fix to prevent it from re-locking ASAP
As I said in another thread, was trying for a long time to unlock, couldn't.
I'm not very sure how it happened (via updating the phone to NoDo or else) but my Zune got updated and I couldn't unlock.
What I did is uninstall Zune, reset and reinstalled 4.7 with no internet connection. It can unlock now. Try this, maybe it works for you.
Thanks both, I'll try what you say, very good advices here

noo! ese no es el hard reset es como yo te había dicho te vas a settings luego a about despues en more info y abajo dice reset your phone, ai es
se te borraran todas las aplicaciones y musica y todo lo que tengas pero ya podras hacer el unlock
asi me funciono a mi y tenia exactamente el mismo problema que tu
me cuentas como te fue
Ok, hice eso y tampoco tendré que esperar a una nueva herramienta para desbloquear... o que Microsoft habilite el mercado en latinoamérica.
try:
go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ and edit the host file and erase all windowsphonedeveloper links
thanks, but still no luck
Hey Guys,
So I got a very weird situation here, I have my XT925 from Telcel. Several months ago I unlocked the bootloader and started playing around with ROMs. All of them worked fine.
A couple of days ago I flashed the SFR ROM: SFR Vodafone France Version: 9.8.0Q-97-XT925_VQU-18 FULL.
The flash went fine I loaded the 4.1.1 JB and immediately got the OTA alert. Since I had already tested and succeded doing OTA with unlocked BL. I said fine let's do it. It downloaded the 50 MB or so. Restarted to the default recovery, since this was a brand new flash, no CWM yet. Started upgrading and at the middle of the whole thing disaster occured!
The phone restarted and it couldn't get pass the fastboot. I get "update gpt_main version failed" and "failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35"
The weirdest thing of it all is that now the fastboot claims that my bootloader is locked! It went magically after trying to OTA from UNLOCKED to LOCKED!
So this is what's really killing me, I've tried flashing all different versions of Stock ROMs, all via RSD Lite 6.1.4. They all come back with error. I tried removing not only the getvar line but also the 2nd and 3rd line after it but nothing.
And one more thing I said if the device is suddenly locked why not trying to unlock it again, and the weird thing is that if I request the "get_unlock_data" via fastboot it will come back with "Could not get unlock data!"
So I'm completely lost! What can I do know????
Any help will be appreciated!
Flashes retail brasil. Me paso lo mismo. Hice lo mismo y me paso lo mismo. Flash la última retail brasil y se soluciona.

Una pregunta, a ti también te paso que se bloqueó el bootloader al intentar actualizar la version SFR? Eso es lo mas raro que me pasó a mi. Antes del problema habia desbloqueado el bootloader y probado varias ROMs hasta la CM 10.1 y siempre me dejó hacerlo bien porque al encender me aparecía UNLOCKED el bootloader.
Ah y le borraste algo especial al XML de la ultima retail de la ROM de Brasil? O solo la linea getvar? Y que paso con tu bootloader una vez que reviviste el telefono? Te volvio a aparecer como UNLOCKED o como LOCKED?
Gracias!!

Si si. Yo tmb había probado un montón y cuando instale de nuevo a 4.1.1 y actualice por ota lo bloqueo al boot.
Flashea por fastboot la última retail brasil y ami me lo soluciono de una. Para mi es porq no te deja hacer dowgrade a ninguna versión por el boot bloqueado y Tmp usar un software q no sea latam. Proba con cualquiera q tenga un kernel más nuevo. Lo mejor si es totalmente nuevo. Y si me aparece la palabra un lock y ya probé distintos rom de nuevo

Wow! Ya lo probé y listo, mi Razr HD ha revivido!!! :victory:
Gracias por el apoyo Juanpa!!!! Me había quedado tan impresionado con el locked en el bootloader que pensé estaba perdido! Tan fácil que era como descargar la versión mas reciente para que funcionara! No sabes cuantas versiones probé y nada... pero ahora que lo pienso todas las que probé eran más viejas que el OTA, seguramente se quedo a medias el upgrade y ya no iba a tomar ninguna excepto la más nueva!
De nuevo mil gracias! Eres un master!
SOLVED! Quick summary
Here's a quick summary for you non spanish readers!
So it seems that during the OTA the upgrade failed and due to this my bootloader appeared as LOCKED. So this meant that I had to treat my RAZR HD as locked, and flash a newer full version.
So I downloaded the latest Retail BR as suggested by juanpa123, thanks again man!
With the latest retail BR zip and RSD Lite 6.1.4 at hand I removed the "getvar" line from the XML, flashed and boom! Retail version flashed without issues! :victory:
Also once restored I went back into fastboot and my bootloader is again showing up as UNLOCKED. I already reflashed CWM through fastboot just fine!
Same problem... no solution.
Hi there! I came to this post after facing the same issue you guys described. My phone is locked in fastboot screen, showing that the device is locked. I've downloaded the latest firmware from Brasil (Vivo) and tried to flash it using RSD 6.1.4, but it is showing the following error on the screen:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
... aaaaand, I'm stuck at this point. Apparently I've downloaded the correct version of the firmware for my XT925, but it simply doesn't flash! Any ideas of what I could do?
I'd appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
Hey playmolego,
So I can see you have the same issue I had. The problem is you tried to OTA, so now your phone base version is the OTA one, not the latest Brasil vivo one. My advice to you is to download the latest one you can find from the LATAM region. Wether it's Mexico, Brazil or other and hope it's the same or newer as the OTA that failed.
By the way the Vivo you tried to flash failed because it's older than the OTA that failed, therefore it's considered a downgrade, which a locked bootloader will not allow.
So a newer or same version is a must.
Give the Retail Brasil a try:
Branding: Retail Brasil
Version: 9.8.2Q-50-XT925_VQLM-21 FULL
From the Jelly Bean Firmwares thread.
Hopefully you'll find one. Best of luck!
A small improvement
Hey there! Thanks!
I noticed my lazy attempt while re-reading the topic... tee-hee. So I downloaded the correct version (4.1.2 - JB) for Brasil Vivo... and at this moment, I am desperately waiting for RSD to finish the flashing process, but it it stuck for more than one hour on 17/19 flash cdrom "cdrom_signed". The other phases didn't take this long, so I am getting a little bit concerned about what might happen... Any clues on why is it taking soooo long? :T What else could I do?
Thanks in advance!

That's a lot of time indeed!
You could leave it some more time to see if it finishes. I'm not sure what could happen if you force restart the phone. In the meantime I recommend you to download the latest Jelly Bean "Brazil Retail" the one I mentioned on my previous post. It's a bit newer than the Vivo one and it might flash better if the Vivo fails.

So... I held my breath and unplugged the device after 2 hours stuck in the same stage. The phone rebooted and... ta-da! It was healthy again, running the OEM 4.1.2 JB from my carrier. :good:
Maybe it was luck... but at least I've got my Razr HD back (well, to sell it... actually... tee-hee).
Thanks for all the help!
Hi.
I have the same issue, let me tell you my history:
Motorola RAZR HD XT925 Telcel
it was bootloader locked, I unlocked from the Motorola website with the code that it was shown, so it is was bootloader unlocked.
I installed the lastest OEM JB from Brazil, it was working fine, it restarted and I had to configure it again, but suddenly there was an update message so I downloaded it, it rebooted and locked the bootloader again.
I cannot access to the Fastboot menu, normal mode, recovery, and all the menu that appears when the three botton reboot is done.
It says that Device is LOCKED, again, it was unlocked before I installed the brazilian firmware, after OTA update, it was locked again.
I have tried to unlock again the bootloader with the same tool, Motorola ha... 4.0 I do not remember the name exactly.
Batery OK
but the message appears
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup
failed to load gpt
CDI Read failure
Fastboot reason Invalid GPT
I have tried to install again the last firmware from Brazil, it was not successful
Also tried to install America Movil 4.1.2, does not work
I am not able to do anything right now.
Does anyone have any idea what should I do?
Thanks!
Hi, so yes your case is the same as ours. The only problem I can see is that you had already flashed the latest JB version available on the Pzyduck thread. The problem with this is that it's obvious that the OTA you downloaded and tried to flash is newer than the newest version on the Jelly Bean thread.
So this means that all the versions available on that thread are older than the OTA that failed, so you won't be able to flash them properly. Your only option is to flash the full version that corresponded to your OTA. Unfortunately I don't know were you can get this. Maybe you can try to contact "Pzyduck" from the JB Firmware threads. He could be of help with a newer version that could work for you.
Another chance is to flash one of the newer european versions, the ones that are V26 or V27 from the thread though I'm unsure if those will flash on a "locked" bootloader from LATAM.

You Can Download it from sbf.droid- developers org google it, XDA dont letme paste the link
I have the same problem, United States (Verizon), developer edition (xt926). There was an OTA about 4 days ago (11-5-2012) that has bricked my device. I'm looking for this new firmware, but it seems to be too new.
I can try going to Verizon, since they'd have access to the firmware, but what a nightmare.
it works for me flashing the CLARO PR firmware
Flashed KK OTA now bricked
Can't seem to find any .sbf newer or equal the 4.4.2 OTA that bricked my device.
Any hints?
I have the original OTA file for my region (Brazil) but I can't flash it with RSD lite. Anybody found rsd lite flashable for 4.4.2?
Thanks

As far as I understood:
For this moment (maybe later they will find other methods) you'll need CWM/TWRP Recovery to install custom ROM's. To install recovery you don't need root but you need to unlock bootloader. Maybe in the future they will find a way to install Custom Recovery without unlocking the bootloader (Like they did for Defy, but there you couldn't unlock bootloader at all...)

In fairness, the incentive to do so on a device that you can unlock is kind of small so I wouldn't bank on it. Besides, the Defy solution was nasty hack (I had the phone, it was pretty decent hardware for its time but the software was atrocious)
Just testing the Sony C3. 470 Lollipop firmware. Only bug is the front camera, too dark when you're taking pictures. Many users are facing this problem but aside from that everything is smooth. As you can see I managed to install root successfully and without problems, managed to get system access or mount as well.
Ps. If you really need the front cam, I suggest don't go for the update, front cam is really bugged at this release.
Feel free to ask, and happy updating!
Hi, can you explain what method did you use to obtain Root?
I understood that you had to be obliged to Unlock your Bootloader and for this model C3 (2533), it was not possible.

My experience is that you can not root a Sony equipment that has locked the Bootloader. Perhaps what is shown here, is that installed a recovery and then the SuperSU, however, he can not enter the system partition. It should be then a semi-root.
When you can not unlock a bootloader, then there is the option for someone to build a separate kernel, it should flash after installing a new ROM, using the Flashtool. This usually takes time for someone to develop.
Spanish: Mi experiencia es que NO se puede rootear un equipo Sony que tiene el bootloader bloqueado. Tal vez lo que se muestra es que instaló un recoverý y luego el SuperSu, sin embargo, él no podrá escribir la partición de sistema. Debería ser entonces un semi-root.
Cuando no se puede desbloquear un bootloader, entonces existe la alternativa que alguien construya un Kernel separado, que se debe flashear posterior a instalar una Rom nueva, usando el Flashtool. Esto normalmente toma tiempo en que alguien lo desarrolle. Asi lo tuve que hacer con un Xperia ZR. Esperé 6 meses y alguien hizo un Kernel.

For me, is quite different because i was able to root all the sony devices I had even with the locked bootloader. Seems that some difficults exists to root some devices because of the kernel's date and no one has been able to build a tool to root those devices, just like Giefroot or Xperia Root and also Towelroot. We must wait for a developer´s patience and availabilty to create some tool. until then, we're out of the root process.
Spanish Para mi es un tanto diferente por que fui capaz de rootear todos los telefonos sony que he tenido, incluso con el BL bloqueado. al parecer, existen todavia dificultades para rootear debido a las fechas de los kernels y nadie ha sido capaz de crear una herramienta para rootear esos dispositivos como por ej: giefroot, xperia root o el towelroot. Debemos esperar la paciencia y disponibilidad de un desarrollador para crear una herramienta y hasta entonces estamos fuera del proceso del root.

Hello, in the end we reached the same: Wait. Yes, I have also had many models Xperia, almost all with locked bootloader (allowed: NO) and all known tools, only Vroot or iRoot (of mgyun.com) has worked for me. Specifically, for the Xperia ZR months passed and nothing, so I found a method for rooting, flashing a modified kernel. Almost a year later, I could see that with iRoot could already rooting effortlessly, like the M2.
Just get to root my phone, I'll post here.
Spanish: Hola, al final llegamos a lo mismo: Esperar. Así es, yo tambien he tenido muchos modelos Xperia, casi todos con el bootloader bloqueado (permitido: NO) y de todas las herramientas conocidas, sólo el Vroot o iRoot (de mgyun.com) me ha funcionado. Especificamente, para el Xperia ZR pasaban los meses y nada, así que encontré un método para rooting, flasheando un kernel modificado. Casi un año despues, pude ver que con el iRoot ya se podía rootear sin mayor esfuerzo, al igual que el M2.
Apenas consiga rootear mi celular, lo postearé aquí.
If you can NOT unlock your Bootloader, this post is for you!
I admit, the program from our Chinese friends of Kingroot.net, it works. Root is obtained, but temporarily, since restarting the phone, turns to a semi-root. Okay, it's not the most optimal if you need constant access as root, but at least you can install an advertising blocker like Adaway or Adfree, modify the host system tables and reboot, independent no longer have full root , goodbye to advertising!.
I recommend it until we have a definitive solution to obtain Root.
Spanish: Lo reconozco, el programa de los amigos chinos de Kingroot.net, sí funciona. Se obtiene Root, pero de manera temporal, ya que al reiniciar el celular, se vuelve a un estado de semi-root. De acuerdo, no es lo más optimo si necesitas constantes accesos como root, pero al menos, se puede instalar un removedor de publicidad como el adAway o el Adfree, modificar las tablas hosts del sistema y al reinicar, independiente que ya no tengas full root, adiós a la publicidad!.
Lo recomiendo hasta que tengamos una solución de Root definitivo.

Ps. If you really need the front cam, I suggest don't go for the update, front cam is really bugged at this release.
Feel free to ask, and happy updating!

Latest Update solves the front cam issue !!
Hi Guys.
Hey!....so far....(thinking when we started to find a way to root the C3 with locked bootloader) all exposed here is good news...
And even if the Chinese version work to gain root, even partially, it's still good news...
and...to wait for a more Stable or official way to get the full root....I sort off...think....mmm....is now going to happen soon enough..
Today I got Lollipop for this one (wich was a gift for my mother) so still I need to at least make to work this app: SDCard Caches plus Booster Pro.
Any help on that will be Super appreciated! :good:

Development has been stopped.
I want to gain root access on my phone so I can use screen2auto but I do not wan to wipe it since I have a few things on there that are a pain to get reconfigured, my jobs MFA for one. can this be done? most guides I see show a full wipe.
Rooting won't wipe your phone, it just patches your boot.img
However, you need to be bootloader unlocked to be able to flash anything unofficial, and unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone. Wiping is a security measure and as far as I know there is no way around that.

El enraizamiento no borrará su teléfono, solo parcheará su boot.img
Sin embargo, debe tener el cargador de arranque desbloqueado para poder flashear cualquier cosa no oficial, y desbloquear el cargador de arranque borrará su teléfono. Limpiar es una medida de seguridad y, hasta donde yo sé, no hay forma de evitarlo.
