Does the device have to be rooted? I need info on how to unlock my nexus one if its possible; I would appreciate it
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Are you asking about SIM-Unlocking or bootloader unlocking?
SIM-Unlocking allows your device to be used on any GSM Cell Network using just a SIM card. All Nexus One's come unlocked in the US. I think they do everywhere, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Bootloader unlocking allows you to flash custom boot/recovery/system/data/cache images. Many prefer not to unlock their bootloader because once it's done, it cannot be undone, and it leaves a lock icon on your splash image each time you boot your device.
Also, just a heads up- you'll end up upsetting a lot of people if you post questions in the General part of the forum. Make sure to post questions in the Q&A section from now on.
Congrats on your purchase of a Nexus One. It's truly a wonderful device.
Hope I helped. Click thanks if I did.
The N1 Wiki has all the information you need.
Scoured all the D4 forums for a forum like this but could not find anything. I have come to find that since Motorola was taken over or purchased by Google that the bootloaders of Motorola devices are beginning to get unlock codes to unlock the bootloaders. Has anybody had any success using fastboot on their D4 to get the device ID from it? I personally have tried this with my D4 and it was unsucessful. I have posted the site for the info as to how to unlock bootloaders, unfortunately not all devices will be able to be unlocked though. I also was wondering if any devs are looking into Jellybean for our D4's or CyanogenMod 10 releases for it? I know there are unofficial CyanogenMod 10 releases for the Droid Razr already but havent seen much else yet. Any help towards these future developments would be greatly appreciated and I figured that this thread should probably be put into the Droid 4 Android Development Section as it is a Dev subject. If anybody thinks this thread should be posted elsewhere please let me know. Thanks!

Here was an example of how to find your device ID:
DEVICE ID AND UNLOCK KEY
To unlock your device, you need to retrieve your device ID and obtain an unlock code.
I. Retrieving your device ID
Put your device in fastboot mode (Power+Vol Down) and connect over USB
Open a command prompt or Terminal session
Go to the Directory where you installed the Android SDK tools, and type: $ fastboot oem get_unlock_data This fastboot command will return a character string. This is the Device ID which you will be using to generate your unique unlock key. $ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
OKAY
[0.297s]
To generate your unlock code, you’ll need to paste together the 5 lines of output into one contnuous string without "(bootloader)" or white spaces.. Using the example above, the line you’d send us would be:0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000

I stand corrected
Thanks for that,I missed that one and understand it better now. Would also like some insight into Jellybean or CM10 for our devices from anybody!

So you want to unlock the bootloader to have CM10? You don't need to unlock the bootloader... Root it, install Safestrap, select "Install Recovery" inside Safestrap, reboot, open Safestrap, switch to safe mode and then flash your CM10.. Download of CM10:
http://dl.hash-of-codes.com/ROMs/maserati/
After that don't forget to flash the Google Apps (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip)
But please note - this is an early alpha preview. It may have huge bugs. At the moment the keys for menu/back/home/search are not working.
Any Jellybean for our D4's?
Negative,I was simply wondering if we would be able to unlock the bootloaders of our D4's. I dont want to try CM10 yet because I've only seen copies of it for the Razr. I know about safestrap and all that and how to flash ROM's,I was just wondering if and when we can expect to see some work being done on CM10 and or Jellybean for our D4's.

It IS for our phones... its not simply a copy... it wouldnt boot, the developer who manages the razr/droid 4/bionic builds actually uses the Droid 4 as his primary phone so we get, equal if not more love from him....

Thank You!
Thank You. I was just made aware of the D4 JB leaks today and was hoping we would see a forum come about for JB builds and leaks or maybe a DEV could post it in this forum, I definitely wouldnt mind if a DEV posted some leaks or builds here in this forum. Any DEV's feel free to post your build info in this forum!! Thanks for all the comments and help from everybody and I look forward to the future of JB on the D4.

Nor can I. Horrible experience to go back to once you've become used to the tactile keys.
While my GB experience is fine on D4, I'm hoping that ICS or JB will clear up a few issues with my phone. Hopefully a sound method for moving to the next version while remaining rooted will come along. I'm so sick of switching to 3G from 4G only to have to dial out to a number in order to get internet connectivity.
My only concern would be the loss of tethering, which I've gotten into the habit of using as my home internet.

I've never had issues going from 3g to 4g. Now 1x to anywhere ugh. The trick is to make data connections stop, then it will go back up.

Doubt it will do any good but I've been going to the page every few days and clicking "no" on the link at the bottom of the page asking if the info was helpful. Then I leave feedback comments like "unlock the DROID 4" or "Unlock all your phones, quit disrespecting your customers like this"
Won't likely do any good but can't hurt either. Maybe if they get enough feedback like that the program will expand, show them there is a serious demand for the program.

I just left a message as well. Anything is better than nothing at this point. In my opinion, phones like the DROID4 are flagship devices that deserve the same treatment as the RAZR line.
haha, as much as I wish pestering them about unlocking a device such as ours would work, I dont think it will :'( but i still love how well my device runs on Eclipse
Ill have to go leave some comments for the fine people at Motorola or is it google now lol... Hopefully they will get the hint.Now just waiting for my D4 to get back from Beigephone in Texas. They flashed it to Page Plus for me. Got a nice D4 with some yummy ICS on a $55 a month plan. No contracts for me , sorry Verizon!

Question
only other phone I had was the D1..can't stand not having hard keys...anyways I am currently running the ics OTA update after using the gb tool to flash back the original files so I could receive it. I updated by going to settings and it updated automaticly then I rooted. I am hesitant to try different roms because I have to install safestrap, then install a second system. will unlocking the bootloader make it so we just install clockwork recovery and be able to simply back up our system with nandroid then flash our roms via update.zip like the good-old days? I would like that very much!

Hello people,
I am fairly new to this forum and I have the following questions that I would appreciate help for.
1. Has any one rooted the I9305, HongKong ( ZHBLJ1 ) Build using the Toolkit? This build is not there in the Toolkit model selection options for I9305.
2. Can we flash the CWM intended for I9300 on our I9305 ?
Thanks in advance!

The most simpler way to root at the moment is this:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
As an extra you'll get a patch to security hole of exsynos syst3m.
Regarding recovery dont know for cwm but you can use goo manager from the market to flash TWRP. Just open the optios and choose something like 'install the open recovery script'.
For the case yiu are wondering, yes I am using GS3 LTE I9305.

TWRP works for the i9305? I don't think so, the official site doesn't state it and I have not seen anywhere else that it has been ported. Then again, I haven't tried it myself

I am terribly sorry. You are right. The problem was I have both GN 2 and SG3, was tired and so mixed the devices...
Regarding root method, that works on both devices.
Here is a link for the case OP wants to install CWM:
www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-gt-i9305-root-clockworkmod-recovery-126605/
Here is the direct link to xda thread in dev section;
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394
I will also try flashing twrp later when i find time and report back.
Regarding the toolkit, that's actually a question for the dev. I am going to ask him that by myself, I have donated version and since he has a thread in dev section of I9305 he should have some knowledge about this and what for his toolkit can actually be used with LTE SG3.

Is there anything I need to take care of before rooting using the first method? Apart from the usual backup of data? Any issues with the Camera as mentioned in that thread? (this is pertaining to our I9305 specifically).
Thank you, I will track that Toolkit thread for I9305 as well!
Managed to root it using the app by Chainfire,
still for CWM

You got link for CWM? Regarding camera problem, it doesn't have anything to do with rooting. It happens on some devices if one ticks 'patch hole' or whatever. I personally didn't have that problem but another one which maybe isn't related to the patch. It happened only once, a day ago, couldn't hear anything when calling someone or when someone was calling me. Reboot 'solved' it.
To bad that the best SG3 edition receives so little support from devs. It is probably Samsung's fault. They even change encryption method, or some parts of it, so for example with note 2 I am not able to use twrp when encrypted. In feature I am going to buy probably only nexus devices even galaxy note feature editions could pose a temptation. Bit soon we will be getting devices with 1080 resolution and hopefully there will be nexuses with bigger screen.

Yes from the link you gave, Thanks. I am having the problem that the CWM doesn't stick and I get the stock recovery back after the reboot.. They are talking about the /system/boot-recovery.p file which isn't on my phone. It has the /system/recovery-from-boot.p file. Are they the same file ?
Even I am surprised that our S3 model has such little support here. I am hoping that it will only get better as many people get their hands on this!! :good:

No, the very first step is using moto dev to unlock the bootloader, ATT models aren't allowed by Moto Dev

Your first post and you're editing build props on a phone (assuming AT&T since you posted here) with a locked bootloader?
Ok. I'd suggest posting in the thread that gave you your build.prop edits, as that seems the best way to get the answer.
However, the answer always is flash the factory file back. Google it or look around. I suggest doing that more before doing stuff to your phone any further.
