How to check if bootloader is locked or not?

Is there any code to type in to check?
I need to make sure I relocked it so I can give it back to where i bought it and buy the nexus 4
Thank you everyone who actually read it and maybe is gonna post.
Sorry for the stupid question.
Paulo

when you boot the phone up, do you see a lock that looks slightly opened?
or you can boot into fastboot mode and it will tell you if its locked or unlocked.

As above. You can also boot to bootloader (vol key in + power) it will indicate locked, or unlocked there as well.

yes. you have a locked bootloader.

Also how can i change back to the original boot animation? I once changed it using a program that i removed.. will it get removed when i unroot the phone and factory resset it?

Factory reset will do exactly what it says. Might want to format the internal sd 3-7 times depending on how paranoid you are (NSA standard is being zeroed out 7 times).

How to you format internal sd card after unrooting and factory resseting?
Also you guys advice me to return this gnexus for 360€ and buy the lg nexus 4 for like 350€ online? it will have universal warranty so the warranty is no problem.

The same way you would format any media device.
Just do what you want. Asking other people for their advice won't get you what you want.

May get tips on what is best to do no?

Do I have to unlock bootloader in order to unroot?

Do you know how to follow directions? I'm not trying to be rude but there is a sticky at the very top of the development section for your device that tells you everything you need to know.

Repair HTC One M9

Hey,
I have set S-ON through fastboot, and have a relocked bootloader. I cannot enter recovery ("failed to boot to recovery mode. Press volume up or down to back to menu"). I cannot boot to my OS, because it is stuck to bootloop (wanted to install xposed arm).
Firmware is 2.10.401.1 and Android 5.1.
So I cannot flash unlocktoken with fastboot, because it is not enabled in developer settings.
How do I repair this phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try installing the twrp again using fastboot. Then restore or uninstall xposed maybe?
Also go to lollipop xposed thread, they have multiple files and uninstaller there so make sure you get the right one. For me it's sdk21 64 bit.
(I'm just an average consumer so it's up to you if you'd give this a try.)
Edit: I missed the point where you got a relocked bootloader. Idk the solution to that though.

I can now boot to my OS.
So in order to run sunshine I need to uninstall xposed.
Can I uninstall xposed from there?
Any flashing app? Flash Gordon does not uninstall xposed.
Other idea is to restore nandroid backup via nandroid manager. But this says "Warning: This recovery is a partial backup. It is recommended that you restore this backup via your recovery because some recoveries are not able to restore partial backups". Is that safe, because the warning supposes not.
It is "HIMA_UHL_TWRP_Nandroid_2.10.401.1" from the internet.
Edit: Or should I wait for RUU and flash original recovery and RUU from flashify?

They have uninstaller zips in the xposed lollipop thread.

You need SDK22 64bit by rom racer... Or The 64bit uninstaller in the original thread.

Thanks. But how do I run the uninstaller? I cannot boot to recovery.

Ok, problem solved.
Here's what I did: Since I enabled bootloader unlock in developer settings, I forgot to generate a new unlock_code. With the new code from HTCdev I was able to unlock bootloader and boot to recovery.
Thanks to everyone who helped in this and all other threads!

How did you get a new unlock_code?

@nerlim: I also used cmd.
When you're running Android 5.1 please make sure that oem unlocking is enabled in developer settings.
Is bootloader locked or relocked?
I assume you have S-On?

Please give us more information, so we can help you better:
Bootloader locked/relocked?
Which Firmware?
What ROM installed?
What Recovery installed?
Can you start Recovery?

No, it does not start in recovery

Sorry for the late reply.
Unfortunately I don't know a way of how to set the enable unlock flag via fastboot. If you're able to do so, please let us know how. Then get a new unlock_token and after you unlocked the bootloader flash twrp.
If this is not possible you should flash RUU. Your version isn't published yet. However you could try the previous RUU. This might cause problems with your firmware. You're responsible for what you do!
Otherwise I don't see any other option than wait for a new RUU.
Btw: What have you done to your device? No unlocked bootloader and S-ON... Looks like no major changes from your side.

Did you ever figure out how to fix your phone?
I also have my phone "LOCKED with S-ON", can't access it with USB programming, and its stuck in a Boot loop.

i had this problem too
all i did was :ENTER RECOVERY MODE MANUALLY
even thou the phone goes there automatically, when in the "automatic" recovery mode go to reboot, press select(power) then hold down volume and it should reboot into recovery mode(it looks a bit different from the one you're on now) and then you can unlock your bootloader again
i was looking for a solution too because i couldn't go to developer mode because the phone kept rebooting in recovery mode so i decided to play with the buttons a bit
that's how it worked in my case just a moment ago

WOW! That's just awesome!
Certainly I'll use this when my X Play arrives

Did anyone try this nifty tool yet? Looks promising!

that looks amazing, can anyone confirm it's working? I'm getting the XT1563 version soon

working flawlessly. thanks

Seems really promising! I am having a slight issue however.
After unlucking the bootloader succesfully, when i proceed to flash twrp, it says success. However, when I boot into recovery, i get the classic "Resting Android robot" saying "No Command"

after installing custom recovery using tool-kit and directly reboot to recovery from fastboot menu, then mount system and rename the install-recovery.sh :good:

Awesome tool. I just have one question. Is it possible to relock the bootloader without losing root? I unlocked bootloader manually, I boot twrp (not flashed, just boot) and installed SuperSU. So I still have the stock recovery, but I'd like to relock the bootloader without having to lose root.

I want to relock the bootloader but keep root. I don't want to lose root or busybox as I need them for several functions. I just want to get rid of the annoying warning on boot that says I have an unlocked bootloader.

Hi guys! Just receive my new moto x play today and want to root it! Its good to go with this tool?!

I've used the tool to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP. Worked smooth and didn't really have any issues. I did had to flash TWRP twice, but that might have been an error on my part for not looking at my phone after the first flash attempt. SU installed via on screen notifications after booting into recovery, worked like a charm too.
I recommend this tool as it takes away a load of work, especially with the bootloader unlock.

When trying to boot in recovery i got "No Command" while the device is unlocked and i tried to flash new recovery...
EDIT:
You must enable "OEM unlock" after the reboot

Relock the bootloader, But I wouldn't recommend it is you may brick your device.

Does it really bother you? You can just avoid looking at it when booting...

It cannot be removed yet but there should be a way soon.

Stop restarting the device lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using XDA-Developers mobile app

before u even think of relocking bootloader or unchecking oem unlock under developer options, flash stock recovery 1st, then u can try to unlock ur bootloader, again oneplus supports unlocked bootloaders, so if u are worried about warranty, its still under warranty with bootloader unlocked

I know security can be annoying, but come on, it does not make your device useless. It's not like if you would see it very often though.
It's good that they make people aware about the risks and implications of unlocking/rooting your device.
The most annoying thing is the spelling mistakes

It's useful to have tho, if you messed up holding volume key trying to get into recovery after rebooting from fastboot.

Just hit the power button right away, it disappears, or as some have said.. Look away or close your eyes

Updating to OOS 3.2.1 fixes the grammar errors, that will make it more bearable :good::good::good:

Is there at least a way to make it not ugly, for example like Google's example?

There is one way.
Relock your bootloader.
Or simply don't look at it when booting.
Or press power button to boot without waiting.
Or buy a Nexus to have a less ugly message regarding unlocked bootloader.
Can't seem to understand what's the problem with the this.

Very useful thread, full of "don't unlock xD LFMAO".
XDA is no longer what it used to be......

If there was a way to do that don't you think it would be here already.
If this is like my old G4 there's no way of removing that unless you Relock the bootloader.
Not even change it with another image.
So please stop asking for something that can't be done(at least for now).
And xda is what it was.
Users aren't what they use to be.
Now xda is full of users that just don't want to bother looking for answers, that ask the same question over and over again, that breaks their device and blame the dev, and so on.....

seems this could be done…
someone from oneplus China says there's a way…
just wait and see what he will release for us

Until someone releases a way we cannot say there's a way to do that.
Until now there isn't a way for that so my post as is true on it.
If that could be done even I would be appreciated.

By doing some reverse engineering, maybe I could sort it out. However, we would need to figure out where is that security check (should be somewhere in bootloader) and then just NOP the jmp or the check.
I currently do not own the device, and the shipping is gonna take a while. 2 weeks before mine gets dispatched

3.Reboot
Attention !!! I made my own Kernel for this customboot.tar The device Starts with Selinux Permissive so only use it if you know what you do here
Viper4Android is working with my Kernel
to make your own patched boot.img download stockboot.tar extract it with 7zip and patch the extracted .img on your Phone ....than pack the patched img as .tar and flash it with odin

hi, can you or someone explain more carefully?
how to unlock bootloader? how to flash that magisk prepated boot.img? what is odin and where do I get it?

Both phones where i succeeded with flash and root have spec: AP: A225FXXU1AUG1, CP:A225FXXU1AUF5, CSC:A225F0LE1AUG1. The other two I bricked are with AP:A225FXXU2AUH1, CP:A225FXXU2AUH1, CSC: A225F0XM2AUH4. The problem is that the two bricked phones worked but missing IMEI and baseband connection also when i check wit *#1234# the CP is missing. How can I restore my phones to work?

Try to flash stock from this website. If the IMEI is still gone, re-partition and maybe even select NAND Erase. That's how I restored IMEI on my device.

Successful Root!!!!

Hi i have a few questions:
- Why do you uploaded stockboot.tar? Is that the original boot.img in case we want to go back to the original unrooted?
- Can this root method be model dependent? Mine is SM-A225MZKEARO , not the global version, and it has NFC; can it loose functionality by applying your image?
- Does this root method bypasses SafetyNet?
Thanks in advance, great work.

I have this same problem but on an A32.
I would try re-partitioning and maybe NAND erase as you say, but:
- do I need the PIT file later?
- doesn't that finish erasing the nvram, efs or whatever contains the IMEI information and finish killing the phone capabilities?
Tanks!

Fixed it on the a32, working so far

Phone is locked. Since u do not have root access to the phone, it is a paper weight. But, after paying it off they would have unlocked it or at least told u the steps to unlock it. Always buy phones out right and unlocked, otherwise u buy a paper weight in the end.

I think you should not buy used phones because the price of the phones is not too expensive and now telcos have a policy of buying new phones without losing money but with the condition that they sign a long-term contract with them. This ensures the security of your information.
