This is for anyone having issues with latest Voo-Doo unlocking tool and LG6, LG8 and newer updates.​
Latest Samsung updates has broken Voo-Doo unlocking tool, forcing SIM-locked users to use Voo-Doo to deactivate SIM-LOCK on each device boot.
Here is small fix that will prevent your device from re-locking on each boot. Voo-Doo unlocking tool is still needed for first unlock.
Flash in CWM Recovery.

Have fun and please share your feedback!

Ty for mention It's really apreciated that even without having the device you managed to fix it mate
Keep good testing!

thanks man this was driving me crazy..few questions though:
1 does this fix the problem permenatly?if we update to new firmware will it be unlocked?
2 can we back up efs to save the value so we won't have to repeat this procedure everytime we update the firmware?

Thank you !!!!

1) new firmwares are 90% patched... so u might lose it... when a new firmware comes out...
2) don't worry if new firmwares comes out some 1 will fix them..

1. It depends. If Samsung will update relevant library then you will need to re-apply the fix. I'm currently working on some 100% permanent solution.
2. This fix has nothing to do with EFS partition.

Awesome stuff! :victory:
So now im just curious, What was the cause exactly ?

Pretty nice work mate.

This must be a bug in latest roms. I have a factory unlock s3 and suddenly it started asking me for the sim unlock code?! what sim unlock code?!?! lol.
First time in life that I have to use an unlock method for a...factory unlocked phone. Crazy ****! Well at least it works. Downgrading fixes the problem too.
Using Omega latest rom here.

Downgrading should fix it too, i think Mike is using LG1 library (libsec-ril.so), nice catch Mike :thumbup: .

After ICS update cant connect to mobile network

Hello
im planing to buy Incredible S that is currently broken.
The guy said to me that after ICS update he scan for available networks, and phone sees networks but phone don't wont to connect to network.
Phone is SIM unlocked and he tried with two different operators.
I can get it really cheap but im afraid is there possibility that motherboard is broken.
Im good with flashing and i hope that it is only problem with radio or corrupted update.
Did someone had similar problem after ICS update?
Please gimme some advice
Here is screenshot of software version

That is not the stock ICS update. If that's an Incredible S, its running a custom ROM based on a VilleC2/One S ruu or dump (from the build number). That might be the issue, tell him to flash a stock based ROM like Android Revolution HD or Blackout ICS and see if it works
Also, could you get a screenshot of the info under "more" please? That could help

Thanks for replay, i will try to get screenshot of Software information/More

OK, here is the photo of Software Information/ More
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ur7gb51mhvf2dpv/IMG_20130225_195904.jpg
He told me that he did OTA update but i don't believe to him.
Also phone was Rooted and S-OFF
Is this situation fixable? I think that radio is problem, i did have HTC Wildfire so i know how to flash, use RUU and other stuff.
Or maybe this happen because he was rooted and S-OFF and accepted update
If this is a fixable situation then i could buy the phone

I dont think ota work if you are s-off so i think he has a custom rom

Definitely a custom Chinese dodgy Rom and kernel
You'd have to flash a known working ROM like I mentioned above to see if it's just a kernel or Rom issue
Keep in mind that you can't run an RUU with s off

But you think that it is possible to fix it?

And one more picture with bootloader version
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g7qp83mlg6pwygc/IMG_20130225_225137.jpg

got new info from seller, he admit that he is using custom ROM.
he told me that after ICS update he tried to flash ROMs and then it all started with connection problems.
He is S-OFF, rooted, got black rose boot loader.
i will buy this phone and try to make S-ON so i can run RUU and hope for the best.
i must read a little bit but is it possible to get completely to STOCK after black rose and S-OFF?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

From what I hv understood I think you can flash the latest radio and choose a good jb ROM and it should work. The devs are really good here and thr are some really good ROMs to choose from. Good luck...

i hope too it will all go well, maybe is better to try with radio first, all the time im suspicious that radio is the problem.
only thing that is weird is that WiFi is working excellent and cant connect to cell service.

Bro, put a screenshot of the firmware you have, maybe its new
Intel device - Razr i Owner
Hit thanks if i help you or you like my style

I had the same problem with mine. Then I just forgot about it. Then about a week ago, I just decided to try again and it worked. You can also call Motorola customer support. Just tell them you're a developer and you need an unlock. They'll transfer you to their technicians and they can help you get it unlocked.

Sorry man , sounds like you are one of the ones stuck , basically to unlock the bootloader you need to select a toggle in developer options to allow oem unlock, which leaves you in a bad spot because you cant boot into the operating system. Did you lock your bootloader? or did it lock when you flashed 5.1.

Read the final 6 pages. Look for similarities. I am the one who can't be succesuful. As I read your situation, it look like the one I am having. While we are still in the bootloader and responds I think there should be a FIX somehow. Just be patient. If you are not in my situation, the probabilities to FIX your phone are very high, I hope you are not in my boat.
Good luck! If I find the solution I'll let you know

Please stop spreading misinformation
Firstly - that thread is not to force unlock a bootloader. It is to recover from a brick where the bootloader was broken and couldn't be used. The guy from Motorola who provided the fix in that very thread said this will not help unlock a bootloader.
Secondly - there are still no confirmed cases of this working to force unlock a bootloader. 1 guy was not in the same situation as you, so that can be discounted. The other guy hasn't said much. No one else has managed to recover from this. The probability is not very high as you say. It is extremely low.

What should my version/build number be?

I have a 2014 moto x pure (not rooted) running 5.1. The version number is 23.1.28 and build LPE23.28. I saw a thread elsewhere with a posted stagefright patch, but the version number in the prereq's does not match mine. I didn't get lollipop OTA, I just downloaded it from another thread sometime around when the soaktest went out (sometime in the spring?).
Anyways, I'm wondering why my version number does not match, and also wondering if, by downloading the last update and installing it myself, I have lost the ability to recieve OTA's Thanks anyone who might have advice.

This is my Xt1095 with the latest ota

I think I figured out what to do. After snooping around a bit, I think I have to unlock my bootloader, downgrade to 5.0, and reup to the latest build of 5.1. Does that sound about right?

Ah now I understand, you had a typo when you first posted your version number. Now that is not what you need to do. My suggestion is to unlock your bootloader, but DO NOT downgrade. Just download the 5.1 image from here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/17go3dvt60b/VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.3_cid9_CFC.xml.zip then flash it to upgrade your system to the correct version.
Downgrading then taking OTAs can cause bricks, so I do not recommend that you downgrade.

From your experience, can I flash the newer lollipop version w/o unlocking bootloader?
Sent from my XT1095 using XDA Free mobile app

I know you can flash the same version... and that downgrade does not work.
But I have no clue if upgrade works while the bootloader is locked. It won't hurt to try, if it does not let you there is no damage done. Let me know if it lets you with a locked bootloader for future reference.

So JUST TO MAKE SURE, I can upgrade from lollipop version 23.1.28 to version 23.32-21.3 without downgrading? Just want to be 100% because I'm not very experienced at this. I will try it with the locked BL first and let you know how it goes, of course.

Those posts are old, read the dates. Those posts were made BEFORE the full firmware file was available. The directions have changed since those posts. The way I am instructing now is the safest and less likely to brick your phone.
