[Q] Need Help with getting Droid 3 on AT&T network

Hi community,
This is my first post here. I was reading through the forums here, with lots of wealth of information, to try to figure out how to make a Droid 3 run on the AT&T GoPhone Service. I got close but I am stuck at one part. Computers are pretty well-known to me, but tweaking phone systems files is very new to me.
Ok, so I was following the steps on this thread enititled "Guide - Unlock XT862 for T-Mobile/ATT"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
Here's what happened:
I got to Step 6, on the 'moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img' then I ran into some unexpected issues. On my PC, the .cmd prompted "<waiting for device>" that blinked over and over.
After waiting for like 20 minutes, I quite .cmd and checked what happened on the Droid. It actually got phone service back, but it was thru Cricket (the old service it had before the monthly contract ended). I could make calls for awhile, but the Caller ID was "Private", therefore, only outgoing calls could be made. Then a couple days later, all calls had a "busy" tone.
So, I figured i did not complete the process since the AT&T SIM card that was in the phone the whole time, was not yet activated yet.
But I did have phone service, so I figured something worked, so I skipped to Step 7. But I cannot figure out how to finish Step 7.
My question: How do I use Root Explorer to put the new build.prop into the System folder on the Droid 3 using my PC?
Also, I should note I tried to buy Root Explorer thru Google Play, but couldn't remember the password for the account (its my friends phone), so I used "Root Explorer" which seems to work fine. Is having Root Explorer absolutely critical?
Thanks in Advance :good:

usually stuck on waiting for device is a drivers issue.

Please help....

To lock the bootloader back is as simple as unlocking it, just follow the next steps and you'll be good to go :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader [b] (this reboots to bootloader)[/b]
fastboot oem lock[B] (this wipes all data)[/B]
P.S. This process may or will erase ALL DATA from Internal Storage.

Im sorry, but I too have the dreaded keyboard problem with the LG G4 and need to send it back for repair. Mine came with unlocked bootloader, and it shows on the LG screen where it gets stuck. I have managed to get it to reboot temporarily by putting it in the fridge for like 15 mins. But how do I get to the screen above so I can remove twrp and relock the bootloader?

i tried it for my h815 and it didnt worked

So I kept trying to do the freezer trick over and over again until I noticed that it actually had to be in the freezer the 20 mins just to start!! If it did not it would not boot at all. It was not a battery problem, it just stopped unless it was cold. I took a chance on sending it in since it was warrantied still, and crossed my fingers that they would not do the freezer trick at the factory. They did not and a few days later I checked and it was in their repair qwe. Keeping my fingers crossed until I saw that the resolution was "Replace motherboard" Reason "bent motherboard". I know the bent mobo was BS. But hey what ever it took right? A few days later it was in the mail and my son has been using it perfectly well since then with that same battery and another he purchased! They did take the protective glass screen saver off for some reason. So Bonus a practically new phone and I still got some warranty left until Oct of this year!

I bought it unlocked, it turned out to be one of the models with the bad motherboard. The previous owner directed me to here so I could re-lock the boot loader. I got to the window several times but it would not stay long enough for me to try re-locking it. That's why it was nice that the phone's mobo was bad enough that it just stopped booting up! I took a chance. If it had booted and they would have seen the un-locked BL they could have told me tough luck. But I have read in many forums that LG is pretty good about this issue with the bad models. So it's a roll of the dice and lucky for me either the phone did not boot up for the Tech who handled my phone, or he saw what was going on and went ahead and switched out the mobo despite seeing the first screen screaming "unlocked bootloader!"

you were lucky only a few of them have been repair after unlocked bootloader..:good:
i have heard some complaint from other users that theirs were denied. not unlocked, but he assumes they LG tought it was unlocked because he says that when you request unlock.bin you must place your imei or serial number so they have it on record....
so you planing on unlocking this ?? HAHA if you do. i would like to see someone post a video or relocking and that it works..

No I will not be unlocking it. My son has the phone and wants to keep it locked in case. Like I said he is still under warranty.

SM-N960F/DS cutom binary locked by OEM Lock

Hello All
I made a huge error. I purchased the SM-N960F/DS specifically so I could root it. The root process went great, it was rather easy. However, I came to realize that my SIM card was no longer being recognized. I had full use of the phone prior to rooting. So, I figured that the root was the issue. To make a long story short I kicked on the OEM lock again and restarted the phone. And now all it says is Custom binary block by OEM lock. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Flash stock firmware and then wait 7 days for OEM unlock toggle to appear again. That should get you back to normal. If the sim wasn't working then maybe your apn needs to be adjusted.

XT1925-3 OEM Unlock disabled/greyed

Hi!
I'm from Brazil and I bought a Moto G6 XT1925-3.
I want to unlock bootloader but the option OEM Unlock is greyed out on Developer Options.
I tried RSD Lite with many firmware available on https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official but none worked.
Does someone have a tip?
Thanks!

I had the exact same problem. To fix it, I had to enable WiFi and get connected to the Interwebs. Wait a couple minutes to see if the option becomes available. If it does not, disable developer options, and re-enable it. That worked for me.

I already tried everything that is possible!
I flahed retail firmware through RSD Lite and nothing happens: allow oem unlock greyed out.

Maybe your OEM is already unlocked. Try running this command: fastboot oem device-info in fastboot and see what it says

Guys, it's true!
After some days the 'Allow OEM Unlock' option became enable!
I did nothing! It's a matter of time, considered as a security measure.
That's it!

Still waiting here. How much time did you wait?

You can also try to delete user 999 and oem option should reflect under dev option.

What do you mean? Please explain

You need to connect your mobile to wifi and follow steps for date change to year back.
Then look for software update. This would resolve it.
Here is the reference;
Hope it helps.

Thanks for replying, but this didn't work. I tried one year, one month, 7 days before and after and it still is grayed out :crying:

Trying to unlock it. I locked it by mistake and now need to wait 7 days for the OEM Unlock button in developer settings to be enabled. It could also be locked forever ( Is it possible?) but then there's no hope for me.
Edit: I can also boot the stock room boot.img image but that doesn't help with the OEM Unlock button. it is still grayed out. What I could do is boot a magisk patched image to get root, but by doing this all my phone did was reboot twice and forcing me to factory reset and then use the old regular non patched boot image that I'm currently using. My current flashed boot image has verity mode off, in case that could help into anything.
Thanks in advance for replying

Your bootloader seems to be unlocked. It is not possible to flash another boot.img with a locked bootloader. What else should be the purpose of a unlocked bootloader?? This is the prerequisite to flash a ROM or a twrp.img

What exactly is the text right under the toggle to turn on the OEM unlocking option?

The text is "connect to the internet or contact your carrier". I didn't flash the boot.img, but booted it. Like when you boot TWRP, but in this case it was the original stock boot.img
My bootloader says "flashing_locked", so it is not fully unlocked. And I can't unlock it without enabling the "OEM Unlock" Button ?

Yes, you have to wait.

In the end I sent my device to a repair service. Thanks for the help, but I can't rely on waiting 7 days and assuming the button will re-enable itself. I need it fixed as soon as possible.

I think that was a very bad idea! Since four days you are waiting for that button become active and there are only three days left. Do you really think a repair station will send it back in three days?? This button becomes active by itself in three days and after that they will send it back to you and earn the money for nothing!

Maybe you're right. But you have no idea all what was done in my phone. I really don't think that button was ever going to change. I'll actually be surprised if they can fix it without replacing parts. That's why I think this time it's better if the professionals take care of it, and I'll get the phone Thursday with the guarantee it will be fixed ( Motorola service is taking care of it)

I have even formatted the phone using the official recovery, but to no help.
Would really appreciate if someone could shine some light on this issue.

Same issue here. Guess it's something going on from Xiaomi's side.

Same issue here with Mi 9T Pro MIUI Global 11.0.1 QKFMIXM
I do want anyway to solve this...
**EDITED**
Looks like it solved for me without doing anything. Although the error message the same as before appears, brief toast that says like "successfully unlocked" pops out. Mi Unlock also detects my phone as unlocked.

Try with Developer rom
