It's not that he's unhelpful, it's just that there are so many people who want everything done for them. Gets annoying after a while. This information has been covered ad nauseum.

Motofail ICS works too.

Lots of n00bs who want to be spoon fed. Instead of reading the forum and finding the info. This question has been answered in at least 5 post.

[Q] a NOOB Question about the bootloader~~~~~~~~~

(im new to this forum so i cant post screenshots in my thread)

Unlocking bootloaders and S-Off are different. Unlocking the bootloader just gives you some access to the boot partition, whereas S-Off means you have access to ALL partitions. Unlocking the bootloader is the first step.
With it unlocked, it will say UNLOCKED, and if you lock it back, it will say RE-LOCKED. With proper S-Off, you can downgrade the HBOOT so it will say LOCKED for warranty purposes. S-Off is not yet available for this phone

THANKS for your direction pointing!
your reply solved most of mysteries about this subject in my head.now i had a general understanding of what these "terms" mean, just too many of them and causes me a headache...
ok, 1st step, i am doing this!:good::laugh:

Just be careful, check your phone for AL defects before unlocking your bootloader. Warranty is void when you do, unless you can prove whatever defect you send the phone in for is not a result of unlocking, and even then...

You will get the update but not be able to install it if you run a rooted stock rom. You won't be able to flash it unless you unroot and put the stock recovery on. This can be done with a ruu

Read Mikes topic in Android development, I'd recommend reading about it before you touch any of this. Wait for the 4.2.2 update to see if it solves your problem, it should be out soon. If not then I'd say go and root.

How on earth did you get it to work? I tried 6 different programs last night for unpacking the system IMG and none of them would recognize the IMG! I'd really appreciate so help on this so I can do it myself in the future.

The are some .so files I think we'll be needed also I found a flashable "wallet fix" zip for at s3 so if its .so files need to be replaced ours likely do also.
And you might want dlto deoxed the liberarys I tried adding odexed NFC extra jar to my RAZR HD and it soft bricked but deodexed worked fine. Just a warning, in my case a lot of things could have caused that.

Z1s - Need its own thread?

Does anyone think the Z1s should have its own thread or at least sub-category?
Just a thought.

It's the same exact phone but with a locked bootloader and most likely not much development, so no I don't think it needs its own subforum

I guess I meant more towards its own accessory forum. Much like the LG-G2 Verizon has its own.

This was not confirmed yet by any Developer so wait until then, do not risk to brick you phone, the solution will come soon.

I already tried. It doesn't work just like how you cannot .290. I doubt you can downgrade to a Z1 firmware.
