re-lock bootloader - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
I am not a dev and am looking for some info.
I recently unlocked bootloader, rooted using RAZRI Root2 and installed a few custom roms however, neither of the roms work really smoothly and my mobile is now slow.
1. How can i re-lock the bootloader and install the official firmware?
2. My mobile was locked to Orange, can I install the Retail GB if so how?
Please remember I am not a dev so step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated:good:

I already created an bat for doing that. I'll post it here as soon as I'm back home.

Wonderful - I am back to stock ROM. I have en EU but live in the UK, is this an issue and can I now receive OTA update without bricking my mobile?

Relock your Bootloader
You'll need an complete JB (4.1.2) Fastboot File of your Region for doing that!
Copy the content of the View attachment 2175015 into the extracted Fastboot File Folder

Enable USB Debugging on your RAZR i and connect it with your PC (Driver should be installed already )
Start the Re-lock Bootloader.bat
! Your Data & internal SD will get wiped !
Enjoy your relocked Bootloader
The Message on Boot, that your Bootloader was unlocked will still showing up !​

You won't brick by updating OTA. But from what I've read over here in Germany, an User already asked Moto twice, if an Update for the Razr i to 4.2.2 or 4.3 will come. Moto stated, there're no more Updates planned (That's Moto). So don't worry about that

[Q]Unlocked bootloader, still getting PCC updates?

Hi I've got 2 questions.
1. I've for some time had an unlocked bootloader on my Z and I've installed another ROM, PAC man, but now when I plugged in my device to Sony PC Companion I get a message that I've got an new firmware available, shouldn't PCC recognized the phone as unrecognizable?
Sorry that it's in swedish but translated it stands: An update of the phone's/tablets firware is available

A new version of the phone's/tablet's firmware is available
(10.1.1.A.1.253)
Bla bla bla
Click Update to start the updateguide.
2. I was wondering if there are any problem to install/update to .253 using PCC when on unlocked bootloader and another ROM? If I ever want to restore, could I use this instead of my .ftf if I want to factory reset it too, as an alternative to Flashtool?
Thanks

My experience is that PCC says there is an update for my device, which of course there is, but it wont update when I tried with unlocked bootloader .

Let me know when it does . No really you will be fine.
You will have a message:your phone has a modified software and the update will not carry on.
You can go back to stock by using emma,it's only for unlocked bootloader or of course with flashtool.
To use pcc or sus update's capabilities you will have to flash a stock rom and relock the bootloader with flashtool(no need for TA).

Yepp after downloading all files, then when I put the phone in flash mode it told me that the firmware were modified but I did at least get an ftf from it ( @DevShaft )

Can't unlock bootloader

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my C6603 and I keep getting errors or bootloops. My bootloader can be unlocked according to the attached screen.
I tried with Minimal ADB and I'm getting bootloops and with Sony Bootloader Unlock it's failing, according to this pic:

}
Drivers are installed correctly.
What's the catch?
Try using the fastboot package provided by DooMLoRD in his thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261
Also, the unlock key they send you is case sensitive, so double check what you're entering.

I tried with DL's method and just tried with FT. STILL getting BOOTLOOPS !
Try flashing a stock FTF with full wipe, then try again.
Also, I just noticed that your IMEI number is in your screenshot. I would remove it from the image if I were you.

Tried it. Still getting bootloops.
Then I can't think of anything else apart from trying a different USB cable/port or PC, but that probably won't make any difference.
When I unlocked my bootloader it worked straight away with no problems.

It worked on my XS. Looks like this one is a mystery.
Edit: CLEAN flashed it and tried an other port. Worked. Thanks for the suggestion!
You're welcome.

As I remember, flashing an unlocked-BL phone won't relock it, right? I'd like to relock it after gaining root on the .569.
That's correct.

Don't forget to backup your TA before you unlock the bootloader. Otherwise you'll loose your DRM keys forever and won't be able to re lock your bootloader

Bricked stuck samsung screen SM950F/DS

I tried to root my phone and failed. The phone is stuck on trying to boot up. I have tried to download the firmware files and recover but keep getting an error with it. I have no idea what to do from here and feel so stupid for doing this.
Exact model of the phone SM950F/DS. the phone is also unlocked to all networks

Can anyone help
..
The firmware you trying to flash is to old. I could bet, you are already on Oreo firmware. That firmware you try to flash is an old nougat firmware with old boatloader. And you can't downgrade the bootloader. That's the reason why the flash process failed.
Use the latest available Oreo firmware for your country.
Edit:
And don't select re-partition in Odin!

Are you using the latest Odin when trying to flash the filmware? (Needed for Oero)
The rooting function properly failed and has locked your device into Downloading Mode. You could try and take your device to a Samsung Service Center. They maybe able to help you.

1and1 update?

Hi,
I got the info for a new update.
It seems to be a custom update of my provider, isn't it?
Should I install or not?
Will my phone be branded after update?
Will I receive regular updates after that?
I added a screenshot below.
Thx

It is. The changelog states it will add some apps. No idea if it will add a custom boot logo. If you don’t install it, you will still receive firmware updates, which are from Huawei, not your phone provider.
I installed the update.
There were some apps like web.de mail or gmx mail.
Nothing else changed I think.
The firmware is shown separately as you can see on my screenshot.

I'm facing the same issue with the provider branding, "user defined version".
To cut a long story short - does anyone has a clue how I could get rid of the downloaded, and not installed "user defined" provider firmware "1AND1.DE 8.1.0.1(CT.F02)"?
I don't want it and of course didn't even asked for it. Unfortunately is was downloaded automaticly, but I luckily never installed this #$§!#-Branding Version.
My main concerns to this "update" is, that it could irreversibly change my CUST C432 to an absolutely unwanted provider branding "CT.F02"
Meanwhile I had to use HiSuite for any Firmware updates, e.g. for latest Firmware Version Android 9 "Pie" for the P20 Pro.
It seems that the standard OTA isn't working for me anymore - and my suspect is the downloaded, but not installed "user defined" provider update stated above.
BTW, I already tried whipe cache partition (via recovery) and tried to access /cache/fota via ADB Shell, but unfortunately we have no permission reading that path.
Any ideas (beside factory reset )?
Cheers, Borg
Really, no one??
Here's another case of User defined Version DT.DEU 8.1.0.4(LT.F01)
(T-Mobile Branding)

I believe that for something like that You need unlocked bootloader and flash Fastboot version of the ROM, not Recovery or OTA version.
This mi9 is not my personal phone (company phone) so I can't unlock the bootloader or install ROM's
Due to my job I use the phone outside and the automatic brightness is crazy sometimes
With previous MIUI version all was good

Then all you can do is wait for the next version while hoping the issue has been fixed, of course you should report it as well using the feedback app. There's a chance that you're the only one experiencing the issue or there could be more but none reports it, hence the developers have no idea it happens.

Then maybe just try to reset (erase cache and user data) Settings.apk?! Maybe this will help You and by this procedure Your personal data on this phone is not in any kind of a danger.
