Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to re-lock my bootloader but the OEM Unlock toggle is stuck to the left position whilst displaying the message "Bootloader is already unlocked".
If I try to switch the toggle to the right position, the device will factory reset and then when it powers back up, the toggle is in the left position again.
Is this a result of knox being tripped?
In DL mode it displays both FRP and OEM lock as OFF.
Thanks for the help!

Just ignore it, it causes no problems and others have had the same problem since unlocking theirs

Yeah I know that it's not technically an issue but I want to sell the phone and would like to lock the bootloader before doing so.
Is there no way to re-lock it?
If not... would it stop the phone from passing safetynet/google pay checks?
Thanks
EDIT: I've just tested and google pay won't work on it in this state.
You tripped KNOX, many things won't work on it again anyway

I'm quite aware of that. What i'm specifically trying to ascertaine is whether or not the bootloader is re-lockable.
If need be I'll just install magisk on stock and put the info in the eBay listing.
Thanks for the assistance anways!
As I said, other members have already posted about the same problem, I have not seen a solution yet, although you could read through a few of those threads and see if they were updated
Any news on this? I want to relock too! With it unlocked and stock os. I can't use Google pay or citrix workspace etc!
Hi, is there new news about this problem? the same happens to me. I have the bootloader unlocked with the button to the left, so I can't block it in a rom stock. This causes Google Play to say that the device is not certified and some applications are not installed. Can anybody help me?

So, the bootloader is unlocked, have you guys tried flashing the Odin files with a newer revision of the bootloader?
Thanks for your answer! I have tried to update it, to make a downgrade, to wait 7 days ... and nothing, everything remains the same. The bootloader is binary 6, and the only move I have been able to do with odin is update and donwgrade in the July and August updates. Maybe if Samsung updates the bootloader to binary 7, it will be solved, it is honestly the only thing left for me to try.

what firmware version are you on currently? if your bootloader is revision 5, flash a rev 6 and see what happens
I am in the last firmware
I have the rev6, I can only flash the firmware of July and August

Hi, is it possible at today to relock the boot loader and reinstall the original firmware of the phone
You can install original software, but not relock.

mmmh ... seems i can not reinstall original software from SE Update Service anymore after bootloader unlock ... it tells me 'the telephone contains modified software that can not be upgraded' ...
the only option u hav after u unlocked the bootloader is to update through fastboot..
or FlashTool .
question: if i just unlock the bootloader i can't use SEUS ????
thanks

Precisely.
I think I saw a UK SE facebook guy replied that updating the firmware is only supported for unmodified software even if you have unlocked the phone...
the thing that I'm not sure about is if you modified the software, then used FlashTool to flash the original stock software... will this be enough to use SEUS ? or using SEUS is not supported at all after unlocking ?
I'm wondering this as this is my only concern... I don't care about DRM, but I do care about using SEUS to update rather than manually waiting for the updated stock image and flash it using FlashTool
Well, whoever that guy is, he was wrong.
After unlocking my bootloader but before rooting or anything else, I tried connecting my handset to SEUS but got an error message.
once u unlocked the bootloader, u cant update the firmware through pc companion or seus, period..
Maybe they don't know, or maybe SE needs to update SEUS

Motorola's facebook account claimed there were going to try and develop a bootloader unlocking system for developer customers, that never happened.
The people manning these accounts are peons, or possibly not even direct SE employees, they may work for some sort of PR agency or similar.
So I for one am not at all surprised they don't know what they're talking about.
They do work for a PR agency.. however.. they provide technical advice.. and my question was a direct one, to which they gave a direct answer.. and if I can't upgrade using SEUS then I'll be getting them to fix, either SEUS, or my phone!
Try doing "fastboot oem lock", that should work.
Or the same command as with the unlocking, that means including your key, but replacing "unlock" with "lock".
EDIT:
It seems they those two don't work. I'll try a little more later today.

It takes more time than I thought, it's much more complicated than I expected. Anyway, I asked a friend of my at SE about it, he'll ask about this on his work
Why nobody know to relock bootloader yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13976687&postcount=39
Guess that's a more accurate answer than on FB. ;-)
Why are you so worried about SEUS? FlashTool does the same thing as SEUS...
BTW, bootloader lock state and fastboot flag are in TA Misc. I still have to find out where exactly...
Yes i can use flashtool but the original firmware when they come out, I can install them immediatly and also for the discussion of the warranty
Hi Guys!
I'm sorry if this question has been asked a gazillion times, but I want to know what I'm getting into first as I am new to rooting.
I have a Sony Xperia Ion (LT28i) with Jelly Bean on it (4.1.2). I was simply wondering if the process outlined in this thread would work:

yes that will work..go to settings>about phone> and you will find all the info abt ur software versions...u are basically looking for build number here..
Build Number is:
6.2.B.0.211
Therefore since it appears to be the most recent firmware, I can simply skip to the rooting portion of the guide correct?
Thanks, I've been hoping to get my phone rooted to get rid of all the bloatware.
You guys are awesome!
I have attempted to root the device to no avail. Does the firmware have to be flashed over? Or can I use the firmware currently on it. If it has to be flashed over, my phone does not appear to have drivers in the flash tool. Can I flash without installing a driver?

u have an unlocked bootloader or locked???
I believe it is locked as I have not done anything to the phone besides upgrading to JB from ICS. I used the Sony PC Companion to do so as well.
Edit: Bootloader is locked and apparently cannot be unlocked. (According to System info)

It doesnt matter...can you tell me the steps that you did briefly and where you faced the problem?
Sent from my Micromax A110 using xda app-developers app
It tells me to use the display system check but it just gets stuck hanging at a white screen on my phone and the program does not continue from there. If you could tell me the version of the root program and which option to use, I might be able to do it, but I've tried a few different versions of it with different options. Not exactly sure what I can do.
Edit: Do I have to flash my firmware before trying to root? It doesn't say anywhere that I have to, however could that be what's not allowing me to root?

This method doesnt work with your .211 fw. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460&highlight=root+211+ion
I've tried that thread's root method. All I keep getting is a screen that it pauses at basically indefinitely, and none of the other root options work.

Unfortunately no. Hidden menu only has test and reset menu items with zvd same as zvc.
Any with ebay unlock able to get LTE speeds with zvd now?
Are you guys sure I can update without getting it locked again

I'm not sure, but i asked an ebay unlocker about ZVD and he said it's currently un-unlockable.
so be very careful.
I'd suggest turning off auto updates in developer options (setting>about phone>tap build number like 7 times)
I also called sprint about jacking up my phone. They will not unlock (even if it was previously unlocked domestic and international) if the phone was on their network less than 50 days. If the phone was on their network longer... then maybe... but no guarantees. They were extremely unhelpful. :silly:
Please elementdgp did you also unlock your phone using remote unlock from EBay.
Thats why I tell people dont update stick with the lowest possible and you normally dont have the issues.....
Are the updates more important that risking the unlockablility of your device? Thats the Question to be asked....

I tested this update (statistics and personally).
This update returns the excellent work of GPS satellites (I did not even see it at all) and DO NOT remove the unlock.
It can be put on the ZVC with unlock. It can not be put on the ZVC without an unlock or VZB. If you unlock the remotely (Octoplus) - the update is safe! I checked the axiom on 8 people + myself.
So did you unlock using remote unlock from EBay. And when you updated it didn't lock
kleinkel said:

Yes. ZVD not remove ZVC unlock (octoplus), but if unlock was not installed on early firmware (ZVB, ZVS), it will not let you install a new unlock. Octoplus not support ZVD native.
Update with unlocking ZVC - approve
Update with ZVC without remote unlock or ZVB - you can not !
This is minor update - It does not overwrite the area where the unlock is stored. But this update animates GPS satellites, if you have problems with them and improves autofocus cameras on the stock camera.
Thanks a lot
But has anyone else confirmed it
I just updated it and it didn't lock my phone

Have a decent understanding of how to unlock/root/xda, just want to make sure, so any help would be appreciated.
Still on 7.1.1, (Google edition? Bought on eBay and not really sure because oem unlock is greyed out, no Verizon apps though) wondering best way to get to android O/P with the bootloader unlocked. Should I OTA then try the Verizon unlock method? Or try the unlock method on 7.1.1 then flash a android O/P rom/modem/baseband etc? Got some reading to do....
Any other tips would be appreciated as well, thanks for your time.

So if your Button is greyed out... It's a Verizon variant.
https://www.facebook.com/IsMail.AmZdak reach out to that guy and donate what ever you can and ask if he can bootloader unlock your phone. it doesn't matter what version of Android you're on.
Once he unlock your bootloader proceed to downloading developer preview 4 and run flash all command.
Once it has finished flashing Android p the phone will then reboot let it get to the main screen and then reboot the phone and put into bootloader mode.
Download TW RP image and run Fastboot boot ( twrp image ) and wait for it to boot twrp. When you're computer reads the phone, drag and drop twrp installer into phone and the install. Reboot to recovery >> flash magisk >> boot up
You can use the Verizon method on 7.1.1 or newer as far as I know.

Yes on Verizon, still no apps, rebooted multiple times and updated all playstore apps......no vzw stuff anywhere (not complaining, ha) just seems odd.
Is it better to OTA update to 8 then unlock/root, or is there another way (flash rom/modem...etc over 7.1.1, might not play well with bootloader though, jw).
Thanks.
Screens for proof....
Well im not on vzw but have a vzw pixel. My fi app downloaded when I put in the sim. Figured vzw would be the same.

Gotcha.
Edit: CID getter shows rom.boot.cid:[VZW_001], also checked verizon account, shows up as Pixel XL, not "non vzw device" which someone said it should say if it's google edition.
Ugh, any real difference between the Google edition vs VzW (except, ya know, the bleeping bootloader unlock)?

How did you get to this state? Was it random, or did you do something to it?
There's really nothing you can do if you have no recovery, a locked bootloader, and no valid OS.

So you were just minding your own business, pulled it out of your pocket and this is what you saw? No attempts at OTA, root, bl unlock? Was this after a reboot? That's what I mean by context.
That happened to me on my pixel 2xl a couple of times.
My phone was sitting on my desk and would pop a reboot and come up with the 2XL version of your message.
but I was rooted w/stock rom.
I just kept rebooting it until it finally loaded.
then flashed factory w/wipe
Maybe keep rebooting until it works?
then unlock bootloader and take control of your hardware.

Exactly, if the bootloader was unlocked I wouldve flashed it. I think I recived an OTA a week ago.
