Hi Guys,
Im a noob trying to figure out how to get the most of the phone which ive got, ive tried to use this as a good base to answer my questions but i still have a few doubts, so i would appreciate if anybody can answer them for me
1. I have an ATT AHD, can the sim lock be removed without ATTs help, all msgs ive read says either i should take the unlock code from a vendor or ATT. My question is, is there a tool which i can use which will remove the sim lock if i dont want to pay **** for it.
2. Currently fastboot works, adb for some reason cannot find the device, ive typed stop and start server that didnt help, downloaded drivers from 3 different sites, installed one at a time to test which one would work the best, same problem, adb doesnt recognize the device. fastboot works fine, so ive done something rite but as i said something just partially rite
3. I did do fastboot oem get_unlock_data and got a bunch of hex, would nebody be able to decode this, dont have the time or patience to figure out what this hex means:
Maybe most of these questions r answered here on this forum, for the love of god i couldnt find it so i would really appreciate some help.
Thanks

Hello;
I bought an unlocked Samsung Captivate from Ebay,
when i got the phone it was unlocked and used it for a while.
(got it 9 days ago).
I tried to update the phone once but I forgot to change the
"update.zip" file with the newer that I got from here
then the phone became locked again. I tought it was a problem with the rom so I burnt another room on it(cogniton 2.2 with hebrew on it). The phone is working but its unlocked. I tried unlocking it with the software named "terminal Emulator" and got 8 digits codes (numbers only) I wrote it down. then inserted my simcard and tried the code twice (it said that the unlocking was unseccusfull. I stopped trying to insert the code
(I heard it can get bricked but i didnt know how many times do i need to try untill its getting bricked). I got no idea how to open it up. please help me,
Thank you.
for any other questions that might help you... post it and i will answer. (I live in Israel and I cant get to At&t's lab to fix it)

if you search in the Q&A section of the forum, there is a thread devoted to unlocking captivates. This is the Dev section, devoted to development of new roms/kernels/etc. I was literally just looking at the thread moments ago, I just don't have the URL handy. go to Q&A and search unlock and you should have all your problems solved.
I don't know the answer, but you might be more successful if you poet questions in the Q&A forum. Good luck.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I really need some serious help, My phone battery died earlier on today and after I charged it again Android would not decrypt my phone as it says my password is incorrect.
I know for a fact that it is the correct password as I had saved it in my Password manager and have used it many times before.
I found Frost(Forensic Recovery Of Scrambled Telephones) and have seen that there is an option to decrypt the phone. But I really need some help to get it working on a HTC one.
I really need some data of my phone, and cannot factory reset it yet.
Frost can be found here: https://www1.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/frost
But I can only see a Galaxy Nexus version. Has anybody got a version I can use for the HTC one so I could possibly recover some of the most important files?
I really need help on this one guys....
(edit)
The source code is available for it.
I forgot to mention I can't compile it because I have no expiriance in Kernal compilation ;(
edit: didn't read properly.

No problem, I don't even know if this is the correct section to ask this question in. But I just really hope someone can help me out on this.
I'm even willing to pay some money for someone to compile it for me when I get my wages.
Again this is a real emergancy
After trying my password about a gazillion times it eventualy worked.
Very strange. I have removed the encryption now

When @Omario-242 helped you before you didn't press the 'Thanks' button - which is common courtesy when someone helps you.
You really need to learn to search and read before asking basic questions as anything you ask is likely to have been asked at least 10 times before.
I'll start by putting your mind at rest on one thing - you cannot brick this phone. So, if you don't read properly and understand what you are doing, the worst you will have to do is flash a .kdz file to recover (as a hint, look this stuff up so you know what to do if you do screw-up).
hello everyone....after days of trying and searching I've decided to make a thread to see if I can get some help... I'm trying to root my phone to enable tethering, but I first need to unlock the bit loader. However, although I do have a laptop, I only have internet access on my phone. Is there a way I can unlock boot loader and root my phone without having internet access on another device? I've viewed several threads but I'm not very savvy when it comes to rooting and they all use terms I'm not familiar with...any help is appreciated.

If you stopped and thought about what you are trying to do you could just download the stuff you need onto your phone and then connect the laptop and transfer the stuff over you would not need internet on the laptop just yet...
Or you know, McDonald's has free WiFi haha.
Yes those are both options, the problem is all the tutorials that are on here are using terms um unfamiliar with... I'll continue to research tho

Well what is it that you're unfamiliar with? Everyone has to learn somehow and since you're actually trying to help yourself I'm willing to help you I just don't care to help people who won't even try to help themselves, but what are you trying to do?
I'm kind of in the same boat I've rooted a couple other phones but my HTC seems to be way over my head. Really it's the unlocking of the boot loader that gets me. I have WiFi and pc and little knowledge but is there an easier way to root my 510
Newbie90, same boat as you with the 510 but I can't definitely give u a heads up on what to do for your current predicament.
1- go to htcdev website (google is your friend), get yourself an account and validate it... you'll have to get the drivers for sure...
2- download fastboot (i'm sure you can figure this one out too, you can also get it from htc dev), if you're doing this on your phone, make sure you copy it to your pc (says desktop\fastboot)
since you're going to be needing to be in download mode, you will lose internet connectivity obviously, so might be a good idea to head on out to mc d's so your laptop has access to the htc dev site to get your bootloader unlock (access to email as well)
3- put yourself in download mode (from powered off state, press and hold power and volume down)
4- open your desktop\fastboot folder, click the file menu and open an administrator prompt here
5- type fastboot.exe oem get_identifier_token
6- you'll have to copy/paste some text into the htv dev site
7- you'll get an email with a unlock_code.bin that you'll have to download to the fastboot folder and the contiuation of the instructions
8- flash the bootloader unlock, i don't remember the command but it's in the instructions
an auto restart and that's it
once you're bootloader unlocked you can root/flash ROM etc... but now where i'm stuck with this handset is getting it carrier unlocked!
Hey guys n girls,
I'm going to root my phone. First off the why? I recently discovered PlayStation remote play and use it on my computer. I was excited to use it on my phone but then found out only Sony phones work I guess... So I read somewhere don't remember, that if I root my phone, I can add Sony files to rooted phone to allow it to use PlayStation remote.
1st phone is moto x 2nd
2nd phone zte maven 2
First phone I use for an actually phone 2nd one is brand new never used.
So I heard I need to use adb and something else I believe. Can someone help me? Once again main reason PlayStation remote play

First you must unlock bootloader from official motorola site.
Google unlock moto x 2014 and do it.
Second you must download adb and fastboot to your pc.
Third with adb flash twrp.
And last flash supersu with tuttorial from xda .
Keep walking.
Thanks. Any chance you can attach links for downloads for PC and also files. If u can add tutorials I can follow those too. I have rooted couple times before but if I do the moto that's my actual phone and I don't want to mess it up. Will it mess with my plan or screw me over in any way? I've only done phones I don't use.
Thanks again for any help
So Ive been reading and need a little help.
1. I have moto x2014 (is it pure edition?)supposedly. (It's at&t white front wooden back 8gb. Believe 5.1.1) I need to know so I can do the first step.
2.downloads to adb and fastboot for PC? I was hoping someone had a link so I know I don't download anything bad.
*Edit* I used this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
3. How to flash? And need the zip packs/files for twrp and SuperSU? (Which I put on root of SD card?)
*Edit*
Also by doing this will my phone operate the same?(no extra step to put kernal/os on?) I just want to know how to root and add Sony software to use the app. Thanks again for anyone's knowledge
*Edit*
I'm having a tough time navigating the forum, thank for the help people

Thank you I will read and try. And as far as if I root the zte maven 2 I would just get the drivers for zte and switch the product name in command lines correct?
First off thanks for your help and anybody else who may contribute.
ive been trying to listen and follow lol. anything with (...) is stuff
i added
First you must unlock bootloader from official motorola site.
Google unlock moto x 2014 and do it.
(the link you added brought my to a page i click next and tryed to sign up
it said i had an account so i signed in with the email on my phone an then it
brought me to a page that wasnt available. So do you have another link or is
there something im missing. im having trouble unlocking it)
Second you must download adb and fastboot to your pc.
(i downloaded
*minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2_setup application
*motoroladevicemanager_2.5.4 application)
Third with adb flash twrp.
(few things.
*adb is just command prompt right?
*flash? i know means install sorta of. do you have command line?
*the link had three things to click on
1.this was on white screen
58337e4962e12d37f740a417601db4e3 twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img
2. twrp-3.1.1-0-victara disc /image file
3. twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img.asc /asc file)
And last flash supersu with tuttorial from xda .
(once again, flash? im assuming i just need command line like,
adb install supersu.apk.
*also files i downloaded were
1. update-supersu-v2.76-20160630161323 /compressed zip
2. root-boot-6.0-xt1097-mpes24.49-18-7 /compressed zip)
***So is there any files im missing to root?
How do i unlock my bootloader or whatever it is? (link didnt work for me)
What is flash?(i think install)
it says my device does not qualify to unlock bootloader. so yea I don't want to give up but that killed my hopes. I can get into fasboot flash mode and have boot mode selection menu and it says device is still locked. I got the link to work and used fastboot oem get_unlock_data used their program to have same layout for unlock code and it says your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking. if anyone can help thanks

Some variants of the Moto X 2014 cannot be unlocked. Put the phone in Bootloader Mode and:
fastboot getvar all
Copy and save all the info into a Notepad file, then go to the Moto/Lenovo Forums here:

What model do you have my friend?
Fot the tutorial ...
First unlock bootloader and install twrp.
All other you can flash them from the twrp recovery and i mean supersu and many more.
From adb can flash stock rom clean.
hey gus I did that command and made a save file in notepad. so just post it?
and pap I believe xt1097
according to ur link gus my phone is not unlockable becaue my cid was 0x001. so yea I guess im giving up thanks guys for your time. im really bummed because I modded and rooted things in the pass and this by far has been the hardest. I figured I could do it manually or a custom firmware would help. if I install twrp somehow as a recovery is there a way to root of that? I just don't get y I cant unlock bootloader. I understand that I cant, but don't get how there isn't a way around it. once again thanks people. this is a bummer...........................
is there any way to get unique_key for the command line?
fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
im so annoyed right now that i cant unlock this phone. its ridiculous that i cant unlock it, like seriously please help from anyone. i dont know y i cand get the unique key to unlock my phone. can i call motorola to ask for it? or at&t? i just dont get y i cant unlock it with any method. i know there is someone out there who can help, please spare me some time and help me i beg of u.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/root-bootloader-unlock-att-xt1097-5-1-t3309889
