I was wondering now that djrbliss has released the vulnerability for AT&T SGS4 do we have to wait for devs to do something with it? For Loki tools it seems as if you have to have a recovery already made. Will a current one work?
https://github.com/djrbliss/loki
this seems more like a user made htc dev, not what true s-off "bootloader unlocked" would be. non the less it should work fine. this probably wont touch the write enabled protection on the device. the only issues i see is until we are truly unlocked we will always have that "samsung custom" on out bootscreens.

He released his source code and such so we need to have someone compile it into a .bat or .exe so we can flash a custom recovery/rom
its linux only, and devs need to use/make teh loki_patch.
someone could make a windows/android app to interface with loki_flash for end users though...

well i cant use it as i don't use linux lol.
Everyone - if you don't know what to do with those files without asking, don't try it yourself. There's already one in process in the development thread, and there will be cleaner and simpler ones out within just a few hours, I'm sure - with complete instructions.
Until you can nandroid the phone, this is not something to screw around with

luckily the loki_flash utility that is used to actually put the patched img onto the device works on android so it doenst matter what kind of computer you have

Exactly, I have one phone booting to recovery now, no issues. YET! better know what you are doing, or you will have a serious paperweight.
I re-booted out of successful, so will see.
Update: nand backup was successful. Good start for us, just need the perm fix, but for now, it rocks, it was so nice to see the recovery screen. SWEET

Yes, everyone needs to keep the OTA .apk's frozen from now on. Or use a custom rom that doesn't have them.

Decided to help you guys out with a faster download.
DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE ON OI1 FIRMWARE OR YOU WILL SOFT BRICK YOUR PHONE
How to Install:
Using odin:
Download and install the drivers
Download the Zip file
Unzip
Download Odin
Leave Auto reboot and F. Reset Time checked
Absolutely do not check repartition
Click AP/PDA
Navigate to the OF7.tar
Click Start
First boot takes a while so be patient!
This is rare but if for some reason you get a bootloop or stuck on the Sprint screen, then you will need to wipe your internal or do a factory reset. Back up any files that you may want to a computer or drive just incase you lose them.

I've sent plenty Samsung devices back and taken them in the store. I usually atleast try to Odin back to stock. I had a buddy take one in with TWRP installed and got by. Samsung is the only one that you may have trouble with. I can confirm that you're ok with Sprint

I managed to capture an OTA update for the T-Mobile Revvl. It contains the boot image, preloader, and a bunch of other system stuff. If we can mod this for root or custom recoveries, that would be great.

You must have missed the memo, Dirt Cow was patched out in 7.0.1. This phone released with 7.0.1. Meaning Dirty Cow will NEVER work

Dirtycow uses kernel so you need to check what security
version kernel you have it doesn't go by Android version. Or try Rowhammer.

Tried Dirtycow anyway, the stock Revvl is not vilnerable.
Why don't you spit out all of the root exploit tools you know of and quit wasting my time?
I am willing to jump on the bandwagon and help developers to gain root access for this phone and the plus version. Fairly tech savvy with adb and fairly comfortable to be able to redirect if something went wrong let me know what's needed!!!
Would love to see this happen! Have one if you need someone to beta test

Extract boot.img from the current rom, patch it.. Move it to PC and use fastboot to install the same..

Agreed... I will not mess up with the device if it already rooted... Given that we do not have the unbrick tool.. I am wondering why we would need to go back to stock with locked bootloader? When returning the device to nubia for support? Ignore it as they will be able to identify if the device was unlocked or rooted... So waste of efforts..

Hello good to all,
It turns out that I have the device with a hard brick and I can't find a solution to repair it, I've been looking for a similar thread, but nothing. It won't let me in, it's not fastboot, not in recovery or anything, and if I turn it on normally I get: The current image have been destroyed...
How I got to this situation, was after rooting the device with a tutorial here, which worked perfectly for me. It was later when I had the great idea of closing the bootloader with the rooted device, and since then it gives me this error.

1)Just go to service center , if phone is in warranty , they will just flash the device with STOCK ROM using msm tool (best )
2)however they might even replace motherboard for no reason but that will also fix the device (time taking)
3) last option is to use paid msm flashing services costs from 5to 10$ USD , you can find them by Google search (risky)
I had about the same problems, my GT Neo 2 does not load fastboot further. The cyclical startup process is repeated.
Stupidly, I understand now, I decided to wipe data in TWRP recovery
This is what it looks like - youtube
I tried to install custom recovery from this topic, all stages passed without problems, but at the end after rebooting fastboot loops
Have you solved this problem, if so, in what way?
udp
installing this method
but root I couldn't get here
I tried to unlock twrp using the magic installation, but the problem described above appeared
I think I have the same problem as others. Realme appears and restarts continuously. It does not go into fastboot because the boot loader is blocked. What can I do?
