Did anyone ever release an interop unlock for WP 8.1 on the ATIV S Neo? I'm replacing my phone under warranty and wasn't sure if I could wipe after the 8.1 update from Sprint and still interop-unlock.

AFAIK there is a 8.0 ROM for this model.

Sorry I wasn't clear. My replacement phone has WP 8.0. I want to update to Sprint's 8.1, but I need to wipe it after the 8.1 update if I want to be able to restore all my 8.1 settings from my previous phone.
Can I interop-unlock 8.1? Does that Root Tool require interop-unlock?

If I'm not mistaken, the Root Tool itself doesn't require anything specific to install and run. It's all about what you try to do with it. Regardless, it's registry settings and unless you're stabbing blindly, you most likely will not brick your device. The point I'm getting at is you should just download it and try it.

I am currently on 5.1 but work for at&t. I just put my work email on my phone that also requires a monitoring service called mobile iron that monitors my phone. My company now thinks my phone i rooted because I have "prerelease" software on my phone and am in danger of getting in some pretty serious trouble. I talked it over with my manager and they're giving me time to fix it, but I need to get off 5.1 as fast as possible.
I can't root and I can't unlock bootloader but I need to get off 5.1.... can i just flash a 5.0.1 ota zip? Really not sure what to do but don't want my company phone taken from me. all my clients know this number.
Thanks in advance

I think the only way to downgrade the version is to flash through the bootloader or flash a custom rom but you can't do either, but 5.1 is officially out so its no longer pre release software.
You have to unlock the bootloader to flash anything. No you cannot flash an older ota (ota patch existing files to new versions, not replace entire files) and as mentioned l, 5.1 is not pre-release.
How did you get 5.1 in the first place?

At&t hasn't approved the software I guess, so by their standards it's considered prerelease. I honestly don't see why it's even an issue, we use the exact same images that gpe versions get so it shouldn't matter. Not sure what to do at this point.

FYI, AT&T have no control over the update process. The update comes directly from Google, for all carriers. As long as you didn't install M or I, you're fine. There is nothing that AT&T could do to prevent anyone getting the update. Except maybe sending a memo out to a staff saying "you'll receive an update from Google. Please, please, please don't accept it"

Doesn't need root. He could unlock the bootloader, willing the device and then flash the system.img and ROM.img for a 5.0 ROM. Then relock
But its pointless. 5.1 has been released to both versions on the nexus 6. The north American one and the international one. AT&T do not.control updates going to their "branded" nexus 6 device. They're coming from Google directly.
Edit..
Hmm maybe I'm wrong...
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Turn...akes-a-little-extra-effort--heres-how_id67599
Maybe like tmo, Google will be releasing a different 5.1 for at&t. This is disappointing news for nexus devices.
So yeah, unlock BL and flash system.img and boot.img from 5.0

Its not a different 5.1, but they delay the updates. As soon as the update is apppved it won't be considered "prerelease" and everything will be fine. It's a complete formality. But, it is what it is. I guess I'm going to just pull my email off my device and hope the "trackability" breaks. Not willing to risk boot loader unlock as I'll have to give the device back at some point. Again, as long as I don't put any "at-risk" firmware on the device and relock it shouldn't make any difference, but it does.
*sigh*

You can unlock the bootloader and relock it (so long as you check it boots first). There isn't a flag or trip or anything that they will see.,

Oh, I was thinking the boot loader status would show "relocked" when in fastboot
I believe my issues with rooting and installing twrp are the result of have the 6.6. upgrade installed.
Is there any way to get the bootloader to talk to the mtk drivers to downgrade to 6.4 or earlier
Thank you

So far there is not any confirmed method. There is talk about things to try, but no reports of working solution unless you already have twrp.
Hey if you are still 6.6 bummed out, Check out Mr. M, his dirty cow method is verified to work.
I'm currently rooted on 5.0.2 (OE2). Bootloader is locked. Is it possible to upgrade to nougat and stay rooted?
I don't believe so.
If you upgrade it will Lock the bootloader of the SM-925V
HELP
Can I get rid of nougat on my phone it automatically updated and it blocked foxfi and I hate it?!?!?! Please help I want to go back to my old firmware.

Proceed at your risk!!!

Help me with rooting my Huawei P10 VTR-L29
I'm new to rooting and I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how i do it step by step .
I'm not completely lost, however i really don't want to brick my phone as i don't have any more money for a new phone
Check here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-magisk-v15-4-oreo-t3759998
Be careful with other root methods, I read several sad stories about bricks from users who tried to root.

FF is pretty safe since it only tricks the original updater. All steps are clearly described by the OP in this thread (Step 4): https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/huawei-p10-debrand-rebrand-update-guide-t3691013
Need to unlock your bootloader first and install TWRP before rooting your phone.
Okay folks, took forever to find, but we finally have it, the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T MSMDownloadTool, your brick savior, bootloader relocker, among other things, I will include a basic faq at the end.
Requirements:
1. Windows PC
2. OnePlus 6T - T-Mobile Version ONLY (It will fail otherwise).
3. Zip linked below, unzip and keep all files within the same folder.
Steps to restore are as follows:
1. Open up your working folder and run MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe
2. Power off the device, unplugged from the working pc.
3. Holding Volume up and down together, plug the device into the working pc (device should now show up in the tool, if it doesn't you may need the qualcomm usb drivers)
4. Once your device shows up, hit start and sit tight, device will reboot upon completion.

Huge Thanks to:
@BIGWORM
@hartleyshc for providing info/support
@strictlyphat for the same
@mauronofrio and @OzzieSan for providing v2.
Thanks to @themustached for decryption and @Some_Random_Username for the tool, version 9.0.13
For those wondering about this, this will recover from pretty much any software error. It will not recover hardware failure. The Qualcomm EDL partition is part of the SoC and is not writable. If you cannot boot into it by holding all three buttons, then you have a hardware failure. Either with your buttons, or with your board.
Hooray!!
Will be using this very soon!
Thanks for this!!
Might want to add to the post what version this brings you back to. The original 9.0, or 9.0 v2. (Whatever the build date is, I think 11/6?)
Edit: looked at the zip. Looks to be the original 9.0, which is perfect.
@Haz3 get in here!!! good luck brah
Thank you???
Youre the real hero
Seriously, where do people get a hold of these tools? From OnePlus? Or T-Mobile? Was it leaked internally? Genuinely asking.
Second question: What if my phone is originally a T-Mobile phone that was flashed to the 9.0.5 update to make it international. All went successful. Then a few days later I screwed up and updated via OTA (a partial OTA) and brick the device. Would I use this TMobile msm tool, or the international one?

I saved like 6 copies of this. Super redundant backups lol!
wow, restored tmo rom, relocked loader, installing ota now, ota did fail twice then started installing after 2nd fail
at first I was skeptical but couldn't resist, glad it works, great tool!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, what was @Haz3 plan on doing once the TMO variant got out in the wild!?
Fixed a hw/build mismatch?????
Quick question, I have now 9.0 V2 installed from the OTA but my Bootloader is unlocked, yes It installs new updates when the BL is unlocked but only without any modifications to the ROM or anywhere, anyways back to my question, I wanna re-lock the BL, using this tool I'll be downgrade to 9.0 V1 and I guess it will re-lock the BL, but will I be able to update right away back to 9.0 V2? Will it probably install and the device will be like brand new out of the box? Or the tool will fail on me since I have a newer version? Or the tool will work the OTA after it will fail to install? Also this tool will definitely wipe the phone data, right?

My bootloader was unlocked, with random tmo 9.0 V1 rom installed, it would fail tmo ota Everytime. I had it rooted also, i unrooted. flashed back to international 9.0.5. ran tool, tool restored 9.0 V1 and locked the bootloader. Rebooted took ota after a couple fails now on 9.0 V2.
Just seems more snapier to me with the bootloader locked with 9.0 V2 as compared to 9.0.5

Hey, nice meeting you here now..lol this wasn't my questions! Sorry but I asked if it's possible to rub this tool if I'm already on 9.0 V2, #2 if the OTA will work after the tool is done, which you answered as a affirmative, thanks, #3 if it will wipe my device clean, #4 if this tool will make my device act as a brand new phone like out of the box.
Again I never flashed any ROMs or anything, just Bootloader unlocked and I got the OTA and it's installed now but my BL is unlocked and I wanna lock it

Tool did it for me. Brought my op6t to clean wiped out of box experience. 9.0 v1.0 Also eventually took the ota and now on 9.0 V2.0 locked bootloader. No warnings complaining about unlocked bootloader when rebooted
