Hi all,
I bought an Xperia T recently and I discover my locked bootloader when I rooted it.
Today since 2 weeks of testing my official .195 rooted rom I found that the phone is an energy eater.
So I tryed to find an upgrade of my phone with a custom rom and a custom kernel.
Obviously it's not possible, or I am not able to do it. When I'm flashing a new rom via CWM + flash CWM flashable and RebootFix no rom start.
So I would like to know which roms are flashable on a locked bootloader ?
Is there a list ? Which types of rom can I put to my phone ?
Regards,
N3o

You cannot use a custom kernel on a locked bootloader, so any rom that requires its own kernel you can not use (e.g CM, AOKP, PA etc)
There are a few roms you can use, one is mine and the other actually says in the thread title its for locked bootloaders. Its by hackitz. Look in the development thread.
As for a list, I currently have a list of all available roms for our devices in the all in one thread in the Q&A section, however, it does require a bit of reorganising and I am due to get round to it soon.
I will oranise it into
Device/LB or ULB/Version
Untill then I suggest you can try any stock based ROM. Follow the T/TX link in my signature to find mine.
EDIT, Now that I have ANSWERED your QUESTION, have a guess which section it should have been posted in

OK, but no need to say thanks on XDA, they have provided a very handy thanks button for that, so if you ever feel the need to express thanks to anyone for any reason on here, just hit their button.
If you have any issues with flashing my ROM just send me a PM.

If you are on a locked bootloader then you cannot flash the custom kernels anyway, so no point trying. Just flash the ROM and CMW flashable and rebootfix.
Ok, all is alright after flashing your rom.
There is one thing a few disturbing... When I go to Album app a popup with memory unavailable appears...
After umount & mount (sd & ext_sd) under Recovery I still have the issue.
Any ideas ?

Only one small problem... Take a look at the screenshot... What's this greeen square ? 2g/3g logo ? H+ LOGO is ok. And how to center the clock ?

Hmm, Someone mentioned that ages ago in my rom thread, not sure what it is because I dont have it on my phone. Have a search in that thread. Which phone do you have? Try turning data on and off.
To centre the clock you need a new framework, you could look in the theme and app section for a new lockscreen, but I didnt bother to centre it as I dont mind it over on the right.
This is the 3g+ icon that is not correctly inserted (i think because france have 2g/3g/3g+ and H+ logos)
I try to get a correction or I change the lockscreen if I can't move the clock.

I have been looking around here the last 2 days since I purchased a new white LT30p (9.1.A.0.489 firmware, 3.4.0 kernel, 6.0.1.2 CWM, locked bootloader). Great screen and Fast. I wanted to know if there are any roms that I could flash that have the CM/T-Mobile theme chooser. I don't want to unlock it due to it having to be done through Sony, so unless there is a rom I can flash with theme chooser or another way to unlock it,I guess I'll throw it on eBay, take loss and buy an unused white Arc S. Thanks.
I bought a M7 HTC phone from website and it's probably second or third hand. I noticed that on the internet browser there is a sprint website come up even after reseted many times. Then I want to update android via OTA but there is not a tab of software update in my mobile then I have tried manually update but didnt work too. my phone is rooted, unlock bootloader, s off and there is Philz touch 5 with cwm based version 6.0.3.3.
Now I want to update to android 4.4, what should i do, please advice. Thank you in advance for all answers.

***MAKE SURE TO BACK UP PERSONAL FILES BEFORE DOING THIS***
Flash the recovery in my signature (the one that's TWRP 2.7.1.3), and then download a ROM of your choice in the Sprint HTC One Android Development section. Transfer the ROM zip file to your internal storage, boot up TWRP and wipe everything except internal storage. Finally, flash the ROM, and you should be good to go.

Hi Guys!
So I got my hands on an HTC One Mini 2 Demo Unit. Don't ask me how or why. (NOT STOLEN!)
I have tried to get rid of the Demo mode app but without success.
This is what I have done:
Unlocked the bootloader
Flashed TWRP
This is what I have tried to do to get rid of the demo mode:
Wiping and factory reset from TWRP. About 1 minute after the phone has booted it autoinstalls the Demo Mode again. Before it does all functions is available etc, after the demo mode is installed some options and functions is disabled.
Rooted, Installed Xposed and module BootManager to stop Demo Mode from booting, no success the demo app still starts upon boot
Tried to uninstall the app with various root uninstallers, they just fail.
Tried wiping ALL partitions etc from TWRP and restored an original HTC One Mini 2 system dump from another thread, same thing. After about one minute the Demo application autoinstalls itself and some functions is diabled and the annoying demo mode starts now and then, and blinkfeed is full of sh*t, demo contacts etc.
After I reboot all settings etc is restored to it's original state.
Any ideas how I can force the phone not to install the demo mode after reset?
Thanks!
Update: Flashing the Cyanogenmod firmware from another thread does not install the demo mode and the phone works as it should. I can call etc. But I only have 3G not 4G, don't know if it has to do with the sim or not (borrowed a nano-sim from a collegues iPhone 5s).
But anyhow I would like to have the HTC firmware instead, any ideas?
Maybe someone has another system dump/ruu/firmware or any of the sort I can try. Perhaps the firmware I tried in the other thread also was a demo-firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55107684&postcount=6)

As you probably figured it was an app in the ROM so installing a custom ROM or reverting back to stock will get rid of the problem (as you've already done it)

Thank you for your answer. I have however tried to restore the original ROM and another original dump from this forum but the app installs itself anyway. Any idea where I can get another clean ROM or system dump?

I'd unlock it first on htcdev and then root and flash a custom recovery.
Then you'd either flash back to stock or flash a custom ROM.
I hope this helps

As stated in the OP I have already unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. CyanogenMod works but very buggy build, and either way I would like to have the original ROM or something close to it (Sense). Unfortunately there are no custom roms for this phone yet (other then CM). I have only found one original TWRP dump that I tried but the demo mode installed itself on that dump as well. I don't know why it installed itself on the original rom from this forum... Thanks

Sorry, my bad.
My understanding is that this is an app so if it's not in the ROM then it cannot run.
There are a few other custom ROM but if you want stock follow this by the letter.

Those instructions and ROMs are for the HTC One Mini and not the HTC One Mini 2. Also as far as I know there is no way to get S-OFF on the HTC One Mini 2 yet.

Download stock rim flashable via twrp and open it using WinZip or winrar goto system/etc/ and delete '.demo' folder. Then repack and flash, problem solved.
no need for reading the whole thread. in twrp mount preload and by using the twrp file manager navigate to /preload and delete everything you can find inside! do a factory reset and flashing "org" firmware should be done...

I was going to do same thing, but how do you repack ? I mean I packed it with WinRAR, or 7Zip, but they compress the file, or maybe they don't pack it as TWRP format, so TWRP didn't recognise my file. Simply, how do you pack it ?

Open the zip file that you want to flash with any zip manager you like, you don't need to extract the files, just navigate to the folder and delete the .demo folder and it will automatically repack it. Close it and copy it to your phone and flash normally. It will work.
I've been trying to modify my HTC Desire 510 phone recently, but when I was doing so, I was honestly operating under the assumption that my phone is the 610 (school is really messing with my brain.) Anyways, I've unlocked the bootloader, but something was wiped out so that now whenever I choose to reboot, it goes into fastbook mode (this happens whether I select recovery or reboot. Thus, I'm thinking that I knocked out the ROM. Would I be correct in that assumption?) Anyways, if I am, is there anyone who has a copy of the stock ROM for the HTC Desire 510 that I could get to restore my phone back to operating condition?

Ill pull the stock system and post a download link. Just give me a second. Your gonna need to reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery in the forums for the 510 first before restoring it. Just look in the q/a section.

I found the thread that talked about installing TWRP, so I downloaded that .img file and will flash it when I get home (am at school right now.) Once that is done, all I need is the stock ROM to get my phone back to functioning order until someone comes out with a custom ROM, correct?

i just did a little something like this, i unlocked my device, went to flash the recovery BUT i put "fastboot flash boot" instead of "fastboot flash recovery" . sigh now im stuck in recovery forever lol, hopefully someone can help us.
Go back to fastboot and reflash it to the recovery partition. Then wait for someone to post up a boot.img. maybe when someone posts a stock rom ill flash it and dump a boot.img for you
I just dumped mine a few minutes ago actually. Not sure if it helps.

Easy way is to go into TWRP Backup and just backup boot
then reboot your phone and from the PC go to sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserialnumber/yourBackup
unrar the file you downloaded to the same location as yourBackup
Now return to TWRP / Restore and you should see 2 backups / Yours and Mine (2014-12-02--16-24-34 KOT49H Stock.not.rooted)

If you unlocked the boot loader, rooted and have TWRP custom recovery, you just need to :
1. Download rom and gapps to your phone. Links should be found in the OP of the ROM's thread. If you wish Google to restore your apps be sure you have selected the backup-auto restore in settings.
2. Do unencryption now if you wish.
3. Boot into TWRP recovery and wipe a couple times.
4. From TWRP, install the rom and gapps.
5. Reboot system, sign into your Google account and let it download and restore your apps.
6. Reboot system once more & you should be gtg.

Should be in the Chroma OP or close thereby as to whether you need the boot loader.
I would think for sure a wipe or two. Boot loader, maybe. Radio, at your discretion.

I checked. Instructions and prerequisites are in the OP of the Chroma thread.
I also updated my Nexus 6 with 5.0.1, unlock and root, to 5.1 without losing data. I just had to re-root it afterwards.
I used Wugfresh Nexus root toolkit.
In short I used "Flash stock + unroot", in which I selected "Enable no-wipe" and "force-flash".
After this I rerooted the device from within NRT.
Worked like a charm!

Oooook... I'm confused too. I'm on dirty unicorns 5.0.2.. I want to upgrade to 5.1... Some instructions say to flash the unencrypted kernel and I also have looked into the boot img and baseband thread.. But when would I need to do all of this? I need someone willing to explain it like I'm five how and when to update the baseband, etc.. I already backed up my internal storage so I'm ready to do whatever I have to to flash Chroma or any other non stock 5.1 ROM.

Well can you be my guinea pig and flash chroma without doing everything else? worst thing that could happen is it not boot into the rom and wrong radio will just make your phone not pickking up signel intil you flashed radio. but chroma dont say anything about flashing bootloader so i dont think its needed.
BTW ims still on rooted stock 5.0.1.
Bump!
