Why is it you can't use the unlocking tool?

For some reason the ASUS unlock tool wont work for quite a few people it gives a "unknown error message could be related to connection issue" I contacted ASUS and they say they cant help me because my serial number has been unlocked and my warrenry it gone. But the funny thing is that my Prime was unlocked when I sent it to them last month and bricked . they fixed it for free and sent it back and it was not unlocked anymore and now i cant unlock it.
wow this is interesting because I had mine fixed from them too due to a bad battery or something, they re locked mine too. I am actually not trying to unlock my prime for now. No real reason other than with my prime unlocked all I did was wish I had not unlocked it.
I used Virtuos Rom which was the same as stock to me, and realized all the good stable roms were based off stock.
Now I am just waiting for a way to root this on .21 without having to downgrade to .15

what someone needs to do is unlock their prime while monitoring TCP/UDP packets. decrypt them and we can easily create a server that emulates connection to ASUS. Of course the meaning for this would ***NOT*** be to illegally unlock your device, but to unlock your device because the normal way is causing issues like the OP

It's just HTTPS, which is trivial to do since we have full access to the client device. Not much going on except for a few GET/POSTS with serial numbers, board numbers and the like.
And no, even if you did record it there's nothing of note since the device unlocking is based on purely device-specific keys.
Of course, this was all known on release day since a few people looked inside the apk to find this out for you.

Why are you afraid of dg to .15 root method, it doesn't affect any settings. Afraid it will brick again as you were once unlocked?

Not likely. We also legally can't reverse engineer the app to do the same things and unlock everything.
There is practically NO reason to totally unlock the bootloader. We can flash different kernels and software on there no problem. The only reason we'd want to mess with it is if we really want to change the bootloader itself, which is dangerous as it is.

The fix for this is to wait and try unlocking another time. There are a few glitches with unlocking, but it's nothing permanent.
Last month I sent my "unlocked" TFP in for service for bent power pins, the unit returned to me upgraded to .21 and "relocked"...no charge the next week. I promptly unlocked it again...no regrets.

I and many others would totally disagree. A partially unlocked boot-loader is far more dangerous than a fully unlocked boot-loader.

No, he meant there's no reason for Asus to release a FULL unlock tool. Right now, the unlock tool is only like a half unlock; they still limit what you're allowed to do after you run it.
You have to run their unlock tool in order to change kernels and flash ROMs.

Hey everyone, the HTC Droid DNA is my first android phone ever. I've had several years' experience jailbreaking and developing on the ipod touch, so I rooted my phone after exploring it and becoming familiar with the operating system and its features. Everything went smoothly, except that now there's a headline in bootloader mode that says **TAMPERED**, I guess as a quick way for Verizon to find out if the phone's been rooted or not.
Well, I do know about unrooting, but my question is, will unrooting my phone remove the **TAMPERED** line from bootloader mode?
No the tampered notice is permanent until we get s-off.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
From my understanding, rooting is pretty much you performing a privilege escalation attack on your phone.
So is getting s-off the same thing, just to a deeper level?
It's not the same. S-on means security is On and you cannot make chanes to the system files while booted in android.
The Cube kernel allows writing to the system while booted in android but it's not the same as S-off though the effect is similar.
So, how do programs like Unrevoked Forever get s-off?
And I haven't heard about the phone's radio, which is apparently where the flag is stored. Can someone explain that to me, or link to an article that does? I'll try to find one in the meantime...
edit: Found a question on stackexchange.com explaining what the radio firmware is.
(I know it can't be this easy, but...) If you can't change it while booted into Android, then wouldn't you have to connect the phone to the computer, turn it off, and run an assembly program on it that flips the S flag, provided that you know where it is? Or flash a new radio to it, with a flipped S flag?

This isn't true. It was a kernel issue that prevented us from writing to the system. This has been resolved with dsbs newest kernel as you said but that had nothing to do with s-on. S-off means we can't write to the parts of our phones that could potentially leave us with sexy paper weights

S-off is like root in the sense that we have parts of the system we can't touch until we achieve such. S-off is different depending on the device because it requires a different exploit. Its a shame Cyanogen doesnt work for HTC instead of Samsung haha.

That's where I'm confused. I've only dealt with Moto phones that have locked bootloaders. Once rooted and the bootloader is circumvented we could install any Rom as long as a developer ported one over . With the S thing, I'm not 100% clear on it even though I've read a few articles on it, and now a kernel was made that allows writing to the system while booted there is an additional wrinkle to my comprehension of all this.
How do you find an exploit in the radio? Is the code in it ever readable to the user?

The s on/s off status if your phone doesn't effect roms at all. Just deeper level stuff.

I understand lol. I've owned three HTC phones and can attest that that's not how s-on usually works. That's why it was never really that bad because you still had a lot of control over your phone.

Me too, the quality of pictures is unchanged.
So, it turns out we're out of luck. After a ton of research, the only exploit that works to S-OFF works with hboot 1.44, but the GE ships with Android 4.2.2 which has hboot 1.54, which patched the exploit.
We have to wait it out for S-OFF.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen the Tampered flag returned to normal. I've seen counter resets for plenty of devices, but in the few phones I've rooted and modded for friends, I haven't seen a boot loader reset tool that could fix it. Am I living in the past?

I'm not sure if it is a true reset, but with the revone exploit and the - t flag, you can remove the tampered flag from the bootloader! There is a forum dedicated to S-OFF which I can link to here later (on a phone).

You don't get around much do you?
We've had a system dump for a couple of weeks now.
I have the GE as well. It would be nice if we had a separate forum. I have a few things I would like to see if others are seeing as well:
Home and back button light work "inconsistently"
Wifi seems to be inconsistent too (I may have solved this with turning off the "wifi optimization" in the advanced settings
IR definitely does not work. I tried the MacRemote app, which works on the standard HTC One.
Loving the phone so far. It is so nice to finally have AT&T LTE on a stock android(ish) device. For those that will scream that this is not "stock android" I shall call it SKINLESS android.

Not sure about the WiFi or the light inconsistencies, but I know that HTC didn't include the API for the infrared remote because the GE is supposed to be as 'stock' as possible.

Yeah, once you have S-Off, you can change the flags, remove them, add ones, etc etc. You can even change and reset it back to 100% completely stock and locked / S-on if desired. I used it on my DNA (same s-off method) then returned it to factory locked before I sold it.

I have S-Off with my one, on Hboot 1.54, but thats because I was originally on 1.44 =)
I was about to post this plea for help and then I decided to try a factory reset and before I could finish signing into google I had an LTE signal.
If you're having connection issues try a factory reset. Mine was cycling between 3 bands along with having no signal at all and never managed a 4G LTE signal, I even went and got another sim card. Incredibly relieved at the moment, the phone is great, no junk, just Android.

So, the first Casio Commando G'zOne was a very tough phone. Came stock with Gingerbread 2.3 and no recovery, only a hard reset option. Surprisingly it was quite popular.
Now, the new Casio Commando G'zOne 4G LTE is available stock with ICS 4.0 and will be attracting many consumers. Unfortunately, I don't know if it has it's own recovery or not.
Wanted to know if anyone has got one and if it has it's own recovery or not (aside from the stock hard reset option).

Just saw this phone on the VZW site and droooooooled. I'm in construction, so the rugged phone appeals to me far more than all the high end hardware phones do.
Is stock ICS on it functional, or buggy? I'm thinking about picking it up on the EDGE pay as you go plan, but I was curious about usability during the time when I'm trying to root/recovery/flash the thing. It's been a while since I've done much custom ROM building, but if I can get a working recovery, it would be worth trying to build CM10.2 for this

Its got its visual lag but overall it preforms well. It has great battery life and takes neat slow motion videos. Camera is a bit grainy for 8mp.

Got one for my wife and it is OK but wifi is buggy, Love to see CWM port and some custom roms with jelly bean.
Easy to root I have seen but need recovery. Hopefully CASIO comes out with a OTA.
Koush used to have a generic recovery cooker on his website. Plug in the mount points for system, data, cache, and boot along with some other stuff (I can't remember what offhand) and it spits out a recovery for your device. Might be worth looking into

I did I quick Google search and found some links to people fining a way to root but since they cant navigate in recovery they cant load a ROM. Maybe someone can flash a recovery with fastboot or adb.

I'm a noob to the world of all things root I have the original commando the is the m140 root impossible. I'm considering the C811 Commando2 is it root capable All I really want is to be able to remove the bloatware Verizon is likely to put on there. Would that be possible?

This is the one I was thinking of. If any of you are rooted and have the information required here, make a backup up the recovery partition and give it a shot. What's the worst that could happen, you restore the backup? This is assuming you CAN read and write to the recovery with adb/fastboot.
I bought c811 as a second phone to use it in a gsm network, everything works perfectly out of the box but phone is rejecting all incoming calls, I've read exactly the same is happening to people using phone in Canada gsm networks and with at&t sim cards. I've rooted the phone and I've disabled all Verizon bloatware but no luck.
Any clue about this will be highly appreciated.

Can anyone please share stock C811 ROM or Clockworkmod backup?
Edit: no longer I need it.
Please read the entire thread, where it's discussed that there are no known recoveries or roms for this device. I don't have the means to buy one outright, so I can't actually attempt anything with it

I'm running rooted C811.
Clockworkmod can be downloaded here. Note: don't flash root from that page.
Obtain root from UnlockRootPro.
CA-201L Root and Recovery
The point of this thread is to talk about possible vurnibilities we can use for a root exploit. This discussion should only include relevant information. Please do not spam this thread full of thanks you and questions. That will only cause problems.
The first vurn I would like to talk about is the second master key vurn as it is open. I have yet to see it included in an exploit.
The second one is a vurn jcase has posted in his security Google + community. I will go look for a link to include here.
Here is the second vurn. Too my knowledge we would need to alter it to use a Moto POC.

If someone can help me. I was talking with Mr. Root aka Jcase and he says to use his vurn we would need to find a system application that executes from the /data partition. This can be done by breaking down system apps and looking at the smali code. Mattlgroff helped me look at 3C check in apk and says it is calling from /com.motorola.data.event.api/ and similar named folders which should help the planned exploit.
My bad. That can not be used. We need a System User application that calls an executable script. That application only reads/writes.

It's possible that a modified motochopper could do it

Modified how? Guys If you wish to try and find an exploit first you need to understand what one is and how it works, second check source code against known vulnerabilities for the patches if you find something unpatched then you are on to something. BTW Motorola does more than make phones for example US military level security and encryption. I have not spent a ton of time looking but thus far every known vulnerability I have checked has been patched meaning it will take finding a new one .. If one exists. If one does not than hopefully we get lucky when we get updates. The more current the software the better chance we would have of an unpatched vulnerability being found... Hope this helps, good luck in your search
I wonder if the exploit geohot used to root the GS4 Active would work. His root method is an apk, which is different than any root method I have come across before. I wonder if it's an Android exploit and not one specific to the GS4 Active... both devices are on 4.2.2. I did try to use it on my Moto X but the apk checks to make sure you have an Active so it didn't work. Anyone here on "speaking" terms with him?
Here's a link to the apk download, not sure if it'll help or not- http://geohot.com/activeroot/

We can strip the apk to remove the script to check for a s4 active an then try it. Probably can see the exploit in the script and try to use it. I'll take the apk apart after work and report back what I see if no one else beats me to it or is able to contact geohot.

So I ripped it apart on my phone to see what I could see. Basically the apk contains a lib.so file that I opened in hex reader. I'm to big of a noob to make since of hex especially from my phone but that is where we will find the root exploit used in this. I will look again tonight but I'm not promising to be able to decode it to where I can provide much. Jcase did challenge geohot over this and cited many links to where the exploit is a known exploit and not one he found himself. I am heading to find that info now and suggest the same for others that are looking for a exploit. Might be the best option since like said before it the same 4.2.2 on the active.

So upon research I found the S4 uses a Motorola boot loader and the exploit is the Loki exploit. I am attaching a link to explain the exploit for those extremely good with rooting to take and run with it. http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/05/exploiting-samsung-galaxy-s4-secure-boot.html?m=1
Hopefully we gain forward momentum with this.

Good find Cole. I'm no developer, but I had a S4 at one point and Loki is basically an extra zip you flash at the recovery level to "trick" the phone into thinking the bootloader is unlocked so the rom or kernel flash can proceed. So....first we would have to be able to get a custom recovery. Also, I'm pretty sure Motochopper was used to gain root first on the S4 and it's said not to be working on the X. Loki can be built into the custom recovery as well so you don't have to flash it every time.
I'm pretty sure that Samsung and Motorola read these forums and patch any exploit found. Still no root for the latest update on the AT&T S4 and the update was pushed out at least 2 months ago. I think that unless we get Motorola and/or AT&T to add the Moto X to the bootloader unlock program, we're screwed. That's just my opinion though. Maybe someone will come through! Here's to hoping.
From what I can tell the S4 Active uses an exploit that can be found here https://github.com/android-rooting-tools/android_run_root_shell. It requires something called the remap_pfn_range addresses to be able to use the exploit. I suspect what it does is remaps the exploit code directly into memory at a specific location to be able to run the exploit. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to find the proper range addresses for the Moto X. I have sent an email to one of the people that work on the git code, and hopefully will get a response soon. I know that the Moto X source code is available for the open source components, so hopefully it will be located in there. If anyone else can figure anything out regarding that, let me know, or just take a crack at making it work yourself.
Edit: Apparently to get the memory address, you need a kernel dump. Can anyone figure out how to get one for both the at&t and Verizon models?
I'll try for the Verizon and use the git and see what I can do.

I did. It is a no go. Requires unlocked bootloader and it cant do anything without it. Not sure if that kid really understands how the carriers work in locking us down.

My moto was assembled in China ( rogers) and we all know we have the ability to unlocking our bootloader.
I assume when they assemble our devices the bootloader and firmware is also installed, that being said is it safe to assume that the units manufactured in China have a non ecrypted bootloader? Does the fxz firmware have any files pertaining to the bootloader or such?

AT&T and Rogers
Just a random thought here. I noticed that the AT&T and Rogers Xs are the same model number. Anyone think there might be a way of tricking the bootloader unlock tool into thinking the AT&T version is a Rogers. Perhaps something like what was done to unlock the Droid DNA.
I am pretty sure that takes root, the same was accomplished in the HTC One X by changing the Cid. But we need root for that process, I believe.

If AT&T and Rogers truely are the same device then what about tricking the factory restore images to thinking the AT&T phone is Rogers. Then restoring as a Rogers to make the unlock code sent to Moto look like a Rogers unlock code. After that the bootloader is unlocked and it's very easy to restore your AT&T image.
Just thinking out loud mostly, I don't actually have the expertise to do this.
