Just flashed CM12.1 on an Amazon Fire tablet with a locked bootloader

As the title states I just flashed CM12.1 with FlashFire on a fire with a locked bootloader, what is stopping us from being able to do the same thing with the G4?

Because it's not the Amazon Fire Tablet.

What?! It all really boils down to just that. Think about the implications. And the fact that you think since the device's release nobody has thought about just flashing with flash fire is also amusing. There is a reason nobody has done that.

i do not think that no body has thought of that. My question was what is stopping it from working. I am well aware that the idea has been out there.

Look. You can probably flash whatever you want on a bootloader locked device. But the locked bl will prevent it from booting. That's the whole purpose of locked bootloaders. That's what they do since their implementation.

Which is the whole reason I thought it was odd that I could flash CM on a locked bootloader with the Amazon Fire. That is why I asked what is stopping it from working on other locked devices. The bootloader is locked on the Amazon Fire, yet I was able to flash CM with FlashFire and it booted and works just fine.

Which is the reason why I wrote that it's not the same device. You're idea would only work if both devices were using the same SoC, bootloader and bootloader lock mechanism and even then there'd be technical limitations that would prevent it from working. I have the impression that you're not even remotely informed about what you're trying to discuss about here. I'm gonna leave now.

Try it on the G4, keep us updated on your brand new bricked device so we can all have a very good laugh.

OK, why would I do that. I simply asked a question about why it could not be done, not that I was going to do it. It was a simple question that I was curious about.

OP is asking a legit question in the appropriate forum; why get all snarky about it?

The amazon fires bootloader had a bug where you could use fastboot boot command without unlocking the bootloader but we can't do that on here as the bootloader are different and they probably fixed it on the g4

Appropriate forum but still a very uninformed and uneducated question. Devs are posting the supported models of their work so people don't go and do stuff like flashing random ROMs on anything then complain about it not working. You'd think people would know by now.

Legit question? [emoji23] [emoji23] Congratulations. You played yourself. I don't have time for this. Go flash whatever you want and then complain about bad dev support on the internet and how "insert_oem" has lost a customer.
It's always the same thing.

Seems to me like you have plenty of time to post condescending replies. Even if the OP's question may indicate a less-than-comprehensive understanding of the issue, he should feel free to ask without fear of getting humiliated. Why not post a more constructive reply, or, if you can't, just move on to a thread you don't find so frustrating?
For the record, I have never complained about a dev or a manufacturer after any of the countless times I've borked something myself.

Root?

Does anyone know how we can go about obtaining root?
One way would be to patch the boot.img with magisk but since we don't have recovery files that won't be possible for now. Is there any other method?

No idea where to go with rooting but since all Razer phones are bootloader unlockable they seem ok with it to the point that they're letting us decide what to do with our phones.
They've made it clear that unlocking the bootloader and/or rooting/installing recovery will void warranty and will leave you entirely on your own as far as repairs go at that point.
Unless you're using Three Rescue and tell them you have no idea what happened and can't really say anything except;
"Well.... It's just.... Not working. I don't know why. It ran out of battery and since then I can't turn it on no matter what I do. Charging makes no difference."

Root plz?
Hey,
Just got confirmation mine has shipped. Anyone achieve root yet?
I saw bootloader unlock is easy... but i don't know enough to take that and achieve root from it on my own. Suggestions?

Can't wait to have root and Xposed :crying:
Come on Razer release the damn recovery files already lol

Note that in the US it's technically illegal for them to deny warranty for anything software related unless they prove that the unlocking of the bootloader/rooting/etc is what caused the failure in the first place.

Interesting.... But I think they may be a way to relock the bootloader like on some Nexus devices. If that's the case then Razer won't be able to tell and would have to Honor the Warranty.

Figured it out :good:
You can enter Recovery Mode by Holding volume Up while plugging in the USB.
And Download Mode same way but the Volume Down and plugging in.

Whoa thanks for that! This is the first phone I've had with that button combo..

So I contacted Razer and asked when they plan on releasing Recovery images and Kernel sources and this is their response.

Considering the language barrier & /or translation, whether literal or, in real meaningful context, is hard to glean from that answer.
Could be a canned response, or, their intentions of not planning to accommodate, or, something else (not now, but, at a later date).

Not looking to good for development so far. I'm loving this phone a lot but without root and custom roms I really have no use for it. I sold my Note 8 because it was so locked down and I couldn't do what I wanted with the device. Now this one isn't locked down as much but it looks like Razer is lacking in releasing the required images needed for root and custom recovery (TWRP). They may or may not release it with time but it will be after the return period by then. So now I'm debating if I should return it and go with the Oneplus 5T which has amazing development.
Anyone else want to try contacting them? Maybe we can get something going if they see the user want it.

Yes the essential phone at its current price is looking like a hell of a deal. With this phone I wouldn't mind having at least the stock rom rooted but we don't even have that. I'm willing to wait if there was at least some hope. I thought I saw some where we may even be covered with an extended holiday return window. Do you know anything about that? If that's the case ill try to run it as close as I can to the return dead line.
I opened up a poll on the Razer forums to see if most users are even interested in root.
I know a lot of user's here on xda that can't have a device without root. I'm interested to see what the response would be of non xda user regarding root.

I just contacted the chat service (Mobile),they cannot/will not say anything one way or the other,suggesting I follow 'em on social media,SMMFH.....................
If I were you,I'd check Amazon or Microsoft Store for their return policy & return the one you ordered direct from Razer,if it's worthwhile,not a drawn-out process with Razer.
Another option would be to flip it on Swappa,you could probably at least break even or come close to it,especially if you have a case/etc.. to throw in to the deal.................

No he is right.
On the other hand, you are thinking wrongly. 720 hours is nothing for whyred.
The question is why?
Why? Because there's no ROM here we can call really stable, at the moment. Especially since it was switched to Android 9.
Take a look at the alleged LOS15.1, which is supposed to be "stable". I have that device since early May. It's now early october. I started using the ROM end August.
I keep finding issues. I reported bugs, and nothing is done about it (not even looked upon the official Jira), in months.
Look at the bluetooth for example, even sending/receiving a simple file fails.
Some others will tell you "yeah it's ok for daily use", blablabla. I had other roms, there's nothing to debate.
So it seems the most android 8 based roms are abandoned and some slow progress on versions for 9.
I guess your 720 hours is a blessing in disguise, one way or another you'd have to wait anyway. It gives you time to research how to do.
Oh yes because if you want a decent firmware, kernel, camera, rom, etc... you'll need to patch your phone more than frankestein has stitches.

No. It is not unlockable, period. Nothing is broken at all. They intentionally lock the BL and don't allow unlocking it. There's no other way or exploits to unlock it.

magisk requires an unlocked bl.. period.. installing it in daemon mode or system mode is also possible but that defeats the purpose and you need an unlocked bl to even do that

Actually thinking about it i have forced magisk into a phone with a locked bootloader (figo gravity...idk lol long time ago) but on 6.0...im sure that samsung has more security on their phones so it might not let me force the img through odin since its not even signed.

OnePlus 7t using verizon- bootloader unlock question

Hi.
Just had high level verizon tech fix my cdma-less on my account and I have this great working phone that says T-Mobile on the init boot screen but is actually running Verizon.
Regarding unlocking the bootloader, (why do I always have to do this? I think I have a sickness... I just... cant... help it....) why would the standard fastboot unlock not work? I was thinking of trying it when I get home just to see what happens. I already have the dev/OEM unlock selected. Plus the phone says it is already unlocked for any service. Most posts are tmobile posts relying on a 7 day wait from tmobile to get a code/something... I am thinking that would not apply to me for better or worse.
I really just need root for a complete blackout theme and pull off a few bloatware tmobile apps. But it runs so good now, as is, that it really isnt imperative.

Oh, I see. I need an unlock token. bummer

Well yes and no about the token. I have a HD1907 working very nicely on verizon, but I'm on the global firmware and did not have to wait a week for the token.
Edit: My first oneplus phone and I'm not sure I get exactly why a lot do not like 7t but I'm really digging and loving the phone.

I put in a request for the token and will wait a week. I see how it can be done as you mentioned. I am thinking I will be cool with just magisk modding the boot img and getting root that way. Keeping everything else as is. I really dig the oneplus ui.
After having a bunch of other phones throughout the years, I can say that this oneplus is just very nice. I have no complaints, just compliments. If this is how oneplus devices are then I was missing out before! *except the strange wait time for unlocking the bootloader via-oneplus*

I really just need root for a complete blackout theme and pull off a few bloatware tmobile apps. But it runs so good now, as is, that it really isnt imperative.

Got any tips for getting them to activate cdma-less? Everytime I've tried they just say they don't have the option and just resort to my device not being compatible.

Hi.
Just had high level verizon tech fix my cdma-less on my account and I have this great working phone that says T-Mobile on the init boot screen but is actually running Verizon.
Regarding unlocking the bootloader, (why do I always have to do this? I think I have a sickness... I just... cant... help it....) why would the standard fastboot unlock not work? I was thinking of trying it when I get home just to see what happens. I already have the dev/OEM unlock selected. Plus the phone says it is already unlocked for any service.

Hello, I just purchased a 7T that I am planning to use on Visible (Verizon network) I was looking through the forum and saw your post. Did you initially have a problem running the 7T on the Verizon network? I s that the reason you had the tech working to fix your CDMA account? I'm trying to decide if I want to go through the hastle or just switch to another provider where I can just use the phone.
