Hi All,
i've got a weird problem, first of all i got root acces and unlocked bootloader.
after that i installed cwm. 6.0.3.1 as recovery.
i made a nandroid backup of my standard LG rom and tried a lot of different roms (carbon, CM10.1.2 stable, CM10.1.2 nigtly)
but every time i get the same error,
no simcard dected please turn of the telephone place simcard and reboot.
but my simcard is in place when i put back my nandroid backup everything is fine.
but i'm still on the standard LG rom.
first i thought maby my bootloader wasn't unlocked propperly but i can flash kernels and i have cwm running.
please help me out i really would like to use the great roms for the dev. here.
Greetings

Ok a little update.
i got something weird. i got cwm running
i thought i had my booloader unlocked propperly but...
if i do first
adb reboot-bootloader
than
fastboot oem unlock
i unlock the bootloader and take out battery put it back in reboot in recovery flash everything i want start up.
and it works. no errors at all.
but.... when i reboot my phone it looks like the bootloader get locked again because after reboot the error gets back again no simcard dected.
maby anybody could help me out with finding out how to fully unlock my bootloader?
i really think its a bootloader error.

Thank you for your reply
the weird thing is when i look in the hidden menu it says unlocked.
all the comments is see there is people not getting the unlocked sign in the hidden menu
Iam able to flash a custom rom bu after a reboot i think the bootloader is locked again even it says in hidden menu unlocked

Ok guy's maby you got tiered of my messages but i hope someone is willing to think together with me.
like i mentiond in my post above a got a simcard error when installing any custom rom.
i tried these things.
first complete factory reset in hidden menu and lg-update tool (after installing with LG tool all my apps where still there?)
check if my bootloader is unlocked in hidden menu and it's unlocked
reroot my device
install cwm
install custom rom ----> no simcard dected.
i'm still thinking it's something with my bootloader so.
what i did install custom rom.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
reboot ---> simcard dected and i got connection.
but after a reboot i got no simcard dected again.
when i do
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
reboot
again the simcard is dected.....
so as long is i don't reboot my device it's possible to run a custom rom but if i reboot accedently i've got no simcard acces..
maby i try this? to fully clean install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
i'm getting desperate.....
For whatever reason it seems like your phone isn't actually unlocked. I'd roll back to official JB, root and do the whole unlock procedure from scratch to make sure it is done correctly.
Was your phone SIM unlocked by default or was it on some providers network? Had faced similar issue when I routed my Desire HD which was on AT&T network. Had to patch it with superCID and all started to work fine. Try looking into SuperCID for your set . I hope this helps.
Also see if it works well if original ROM is installed again.

We don't use SuperCID on this device (I'm used to that from my old Desire S). The 'official' JB with bootloader unlock route is reported to have provided SIM unlock as well, but I can't verify as my device was unlocked when I got it - I never buy network locked devices.
Thanks for the reply's
as far as i know i've bought a unlocked phone non branded (on stock rom it accepts all different simcards).
i did a new rom install with the LG-software and i did re-root my device and i installed cwm agian. but.... all my apps were still there, so i'm unsure if it was a real fresh install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 maby i have to try this....
if i use the offical command to unlock my device it say's welcome to fastboot.....
when i use the unoffical way it keeps saying your device is allready unlocked....
but as mentiond in fastboot commands
(bootloader) secure: yes
(bootloader) unlocked: no
what does that bootloader secure mean? when i look in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 it says's off...
thinking and trying really hard.
:silly:
Official bootloader unlock procedure from LG AND the one that works for everyone
Some people still think that
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
is the right command, but guess what: it isn't so please don't use it
Please follow below directions to unlock bootloader.
1. Turn on the phone with SIM card, and wait for connection to the real network.
2. Wait for couple of hours.
3. Connect your handset to local PC with USB cable.
4. Enter "adb reboot oem-unlock" in DOS command window.
5. Reboot handset and you can see the bootloader unlock guide on your phone.
6-1. If you press volume up key, handset is bootloader unlock status.
You can download custom image using fastboot command.
6-2 If you press power on key, user doesnot accept unlock bootlaoder and handset normally power on.

I couldn't get this method to work, so ended up using the 'alternate' method (the one you have been trying), but this should be the way to do it.
thank you tomorrow i'll try to get a complete clean install of my JB by flashing it manaly with .kdz files.
when i do this right now
adb reboot oem-unlock i get in the welcome screen of fastboot and no unlock option.
(i think it's because it should be unlocked?)
but first of all tommorow try to get a complete fresh JB, maby first rollback to ics?? and than flash again JB?
will try a bit tommorow.
if somebody else got some great idea's please shoot them here i'm willing to try almost everything.:silly:
From the security and unlock status, it seems obvious that the phone is still locked... Don't know how it is allowing custom ROMs...
Sent from my HTC Explorer using xda premium
nope i don't understand it eighter, but i can't get in the unlock mode again....
so maby first revert back to ICS? flash JB again. and try again.
the weird thing is the rom accepts custom kernels....i've tried to flash werewolfjb kernel and iodak and it doesn't give any error as long as i'm in the stock rom...
greetins wim
That seems like a good idea... If you have original ROM backup, restore it and start from scratch...maybe things get a bit clear then..
Sent from my HTC Explorer using xda premium
ok did a rollback to ICS but forgot to put back the simcard and when i did i did it the worng way big big dummy mistake.
tomorrow new try and after i installed a fresh JB ill install a fresh CM10.1.2 fingers crossed
ok small update,
i've tried to install some custom roms after i did the whole flashing and rollback to stock.
i got EternityProject's CyanogenMod 10.1 for LG Optimus 4X HD running with data connection BUT... at the first start up it showed again no simcard dected. after playing a bit i saw there was an connection and i were able to surf on the internet on my mobile data.
i did a reboot and i saw again no data connection but after like 15 secconds there was it again.
so it looks like it's worken with some little hiks but it works
maby it needed the complete fresh install.
i'll wait until kholk finishes his android 4.3 project so i'll give that a try untill than i'm on stock rom with Optimus Prime 2.53 and i love it i got 2.5 hours screen on time.
Greetings

Per title, Nexus 6 will not get past the white "Google". I can get into recovery fine. But the bootloader is locked, so I cannot properly flash stuff. Attempting to unlock the bootloader, I'm told I need to enable the option in the settings menu that I cannot access.
Looks like I'm not the only one I have the same issue and nothing works

is this happened after trying to install update with adb sideload?
I got my nexus 6 today and tried to sideload the ota zip file, but I had no luck and now my nexus can not boot. I had enabled the option for bootloader unlock but my big mistake was that i tried to factory reset the device from recovery and now the bootloader can't be unlocked.
supposed to be experience with nexus devices, but with the bootloader locked I don't know what to do.
any ideas guys?

Yeah I think that's what I may have done too. I was just trying to go back to 100% stock (ignoring 5.1 even).
And of course NOW the 5.1 image is up on Google's page.
Have the same situation: flash 5.1 OTA and then wiped system
Now I can't unlock bootloader (as system just cant boot) and can't flash stock image (as system.img can't be flashed with locked bootloader)
I do not want to believe this is a brick, but it is very likely it
Sadly I've just done the same thing. ADB updated from 5.0.1 to 5.1, and the system.img didn't copy correctly. Phone wont boot past the Google splash screen, and I can't flash a factory image to recover the phone, because in order to unlock the bootloader I have to enable the option in developer settings, which I can't get to because the phone wont boot!
I understand the purpose of having an extra layer of security to prevent malicious types from trying to flash factory images onto stolen devices, but surely any system that allows a user to brick a device simply by leaving a setting unchecked (in a hidden menu, no less!) is asking for trouble? Particularly on a developer orientated device like a Nexus.
It seems crazy that a developer can ADB the official Google Android OTA zip, using the official Google Android SDK, onto the official Google Android flagship device, and the simple corruption of one of the sent files can cause the device to become totally unusable. Surely, say, providing an option in the developer option settings to PIN protect the bootloader, rather than just preventing it from being unlocked all together, would be a more sensible choice?
For what it's worth, I explained my situation to Google, and they are replacing the phone under warranty. This is probably your best (or only) option at this stage.
Good luck, and please let me know if you do manage to find a work-around/ solution to your woes!
Hello. I have really bad situation about my friend's phone. I was about to install Cyanogenmod on it (i have experience about it, i installed CM on my Nexus 5 without any problems). First i tried to unlock bootloader. I tried different ways including the official one but none of them helped. When i turn the phone on and call to 3845#*880#, it says that bootloader is unlocked. But i still can't flash recovery to TWRP (it says that bootloader is locked). Then my friend asked me to get root at least, because when we tried to unlock bootloader we used a chinese program which installed ad malware into firmware and he can't delete this. I read about installing root without unlocking bootloader, using stock recovery. But when i try to load into recovery mode, smartphone is loading into Android. I guess i've deleted stock recovery accidently. Is there any way to root/flash CM/completely reset (btw this one doesn't work correctly, because that ad malware is still there)? Help me, please. Thanks in advance.
Hey XDA,
I was rooted, unlocked and TWRP'd on I think 6.4? I realized I wanted to go back to locked and stock after seeing some of the security stuff come out. I used SPFT to flash the 6.1 Prime Rom, and everything was working great. Phone booted no problem, and seemed to work fine. I then tried to use the Wireless Update to update the phone. It looked liked it downloaded fine, but now I'm in a reboot loop, and recovery does absolutely nothing but reboot loop as well. I CAN get the phone into Fastboot mode, but fastboot flash recovery gives me a "failed to get permission" error.
I ran a getvar all, and here is what I have:
unlocked: yes
secure: yes
kernel 1k
bootloader: version-preloader 0.0.00
Version: 0.5
I've tried the SPFT tools again, but it gives me ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL.
ANY clue what I can try next to just get the dang thing to be bootable? I don't care root or recovery or what, I just want a working phone, and I'm running out of ideas.
Thanks!

don't panic. everything is as is should be in your situation.
you see when you did getvar all , it said
secure: yes.
that means it only wants to boot signed and secured partitions. Just get into fastboot and do "oem unlock".
you really cant (safely) relock the bootloader. If your boot loader was relock now, you wold be in a perminent boot loop condition not able to recover.
But you can save it with "oem unlock" from where you at now.
You rock. I thought since it said unlocked I didn't need to do it again, but that did the trick. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the phone. I wouldn't mind keeping root, but I want the B12 update.

The dirtycow thing was only needed to get to the unlocked point. He is already there, so his only issue should be the lack of sp flash tool. Until/ if he does the bootloader rollback.
Shouldn't be problem with the modded v7 to roll back either.
Because in order to install the modded version , you need to be unlocked and twrp anyway, right.?

I presume he flashed factory original 6.1 from Colton's site.
I thought flashing original rom with SPFT should result in safely relocked bootloader, why not?
What if he relocked bootloader with 'fastboot oem relock' command after flashing 6.1 but before taking 7.4.2 OTA update? This would also leave him with:
unlocked: yes
secure: yes?
There must be some way to bring phone to original factory state with bootloader locked (meaning unlocked: no secure: yes).
BLU support also cannot do this?

There is and I did it few times while testing my unlock script. Bit the chances of making a brick were so very high I cannot recommend doing it.
There are two other partitions that store the unlock state and they need to restored to really relock bootloader.
OEM relock does not work properly

Can you tell what steps you did to relock?
I really want to bring device to original factory state because encryption does not work when bootloader is unlocked. I did first dirty cow method on original 6.6 ROM (one with newer preloader), then rolled back booloader, installed 6.1 from ColtonDRG site with SPFT and finally installed vampireinfo's 7.4.2 thru TWRP.
However when I encrypted phone, in settings it says encrypted but I can browse device on PC without entering PIN.
On factory state encrypted device (with locked bootloader) I was not able to this

This will brick your phone, if you are not careful, and also if you are carefull. You can browse for help in encryption with unlocked bootloader before doing this, I'm sure there is a solution.
If you replace Seccfg.bin and Secro.bin from a backup from before unlocking bootloader you should be set to locked but I do not know of your phone will boot. You will be doing g that at your own risk.
But if you download the repair solution under the hidden tag(click to show content) in the roll back thread.
In that file it will restore you to 6.1 and it will be locked bootloader. I do not know about keeping v7 and relocked
hey guys, been a painful 3 days lol( busy looking for a nokia 5 stock rom instead of a nb0 rom lmao!!).
The method works am now on 7. so guys go right ahead and downgrade if you wanna do it.
P.s 1. search for nbo and not stock rom
2. When the setting up comes what you need to do is click setup with no network. this way you will prevent the system from taking you straight to updates!.
Next step root and enjoy?
Please provide the link of nb0 ROM for Nokia 5 ta -1053
its also safe to downgrade Nokia ta-1024 from pie to nougat with nost bootloader will still be unlocker .

I've been out from Android Modding and Development for quite some time and I'm a little bit lost at the moment.
Where do you guys find the nb0 files and how do you select them for your devices?
I'm looking for a source for several Nokia devices; but most specific for the TA-1024
Thanks in advance.

Here is the nougat nb0 file that I use (with nost). It may fail midway through btw but don't worry if it does it happen to me often, just start again & select the wipe user data option

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Regarding that error, before you flash any room you should always clean Dalvik cache, Cache and Wipe user data. That prevents errors, and duplicate data or applications.
I couldn't find "unlock easy" to see if I can manage do unlock the bootloader. Is this a tool that can be found on the forum?
As far as I know without bootloader unlocked you're not able to flash anything, including recovery.
Fastboot will refuse any flashing options.

That's wierd. My 1024 was piece of cake to root. I think you right that the carrier modél is a lot different to unlocked variant
