Hi,
I think i found a way to unlock the boot-loader. So to get started I need to get some before images and this is where you guys come in.
This little project has three stages:
1. Submitting before images (risk free)
2. Some work on my part confirming if my findings are correct and writing some code.
3. Testing my code, it has risk but i can estimate this after i have completed stages 1 and 2.
And you deciding if you're willing to risk running it. ( you are not obligated to run this if you sign up )
I need about 4 / 5 volunteers.
** PREREQUISITES for signing up **
1. Your device boots into FlymeOS
2. You have root access in FlymeOS
3. You have a locked bootloader
4. You have fastboot and adb properly installed
Sign up here, i will send you a pm with the details :fingers-crossed:
I have my phone correctly, but i'm interesting how you will try make it.
Please
fill up all the requirements, please i need your help !!!

Pogress report
Hi,
Still working on phase one, progress halted (need 2/3 people)
Phase 2 is almost 95% done: fingers-crossed:
It seems everybody is waiting for something to happen and thats not going to work without a couple of volunteers.
Also I need someone with an >> unlocked,rooted << phone, to post a simple log. no risk involved at all. So i can verify the unlock status to my own.
Please sign up people, otherwise were just reading posts how this project is not moving along.
Thanks

I have some bad news, i just got some logs that shattered my hypothesis ... which is a shame. I cannot find certain markers that i thought were responsible for the unlock process. This doesn't mean the search is over, its just that i have to start again from scratch
Sorry people, i wish i had better news
st0rm77
come bro, why u have to say sorry?
u are the very least ppl who has the skill and willing to spend time on this, so please accept my grateful thanks for trying.
my pro5 lost the recovery but I'm lucky that living in hk, so i can go to mainland Meizu service center and they helped me reflash for free.
now i unlocked my phone and flashed twrp, but i don't dare flash any update.zip by touching the recovery inside.
with your expertise, could you suggest how can we flash the official update.zip to get the latest update, but still keep the twrp?
maybe u can't save the ruined phone (yet), but at least u may draft some guide to prevent idiots (like me) to brick their lovely Pro 5 by doing something stupid.
thanks again for ur time in digging into this.
mee too..i've lost the recovery ...

If you have unlocked bootloader this is easy :
- Open update.zip (with 7zip for example)
- Erase "recovery.img" and "bootloader" files...
- Save update.zip
- Flash with twrp

I would like to know how to upgrade to a new ROM (Lollipop or better) on my Verizon HTC One Max with the option to return to stock. Software Information: 4.4.2, Sense 6.0, 3.09.605.3, 6.20, 4.60_002, 15432, 5
I was told to use (and did) Sunshine and then downloaded SuperSU from Google Store (per very detailed instructions and was told to not choose TWRP when the question popped up to choose one or the other (common/normal?)).
My phone is now UNLOCK and S-OFF as well as Rooted (but I'm having a lot of problems with blank screens, etc. and even had the black screen with the red ! in a red triangle (and I don’t know how I got it to boot up again (pushed pwr buttons, vol +/-, etc.)). However, that is as far as I’ve gotten. Confused am I.
I don’t know how to flash; however, I’ve been trying to figure it out, but I’m lost.
I’ve downloaded a lot of files from other threads, but the instructions, while detailed, didn’t say HOW to flash or add TWRP where I (a NEWBORN NEWBIE/NOOBIE) could understand, etc. Is there a place where all this is together?
Am I out of luck or would someone PLEASE help me fix and upgrade it with the option to return to stock if needed? I would love to have Sense 7.0, if possible. I apologize for such a long post/thread.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!
P. S. My phone is now Prepaid Verizon (was Postpaid). Don't know if that matters. I have pics of the files I downloaded from one of your great guys, but they are on my computer. Not sure how to upload. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND YOUR SITE!!!!!
@LoveSpock I am going to make this short and simple...
First off the Verizon Max software only goes up to 4.4.2. If you want to upgrade you'll need a custom rom which is why you S-OFF and unlocked...
You will need to get familiar with fastboot commands. Google is your friend on how to use if you don't know how to. Here is the link to the TWRP image for your device. http://flyhalf205.com/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Once you get fastboot setup you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command.
From there you are free to wipe then flash anything you would like. Wiping will delete your data so text, contacts that are stored on local phone(not sim or google) will be deleted.
@Flyhalf205
Thank you for your response and instructions. Does this mean I don't need to do anything to the SUPERSU that is already on the phone (and what it did)?.... Following your instructions will wipe everything?
I'll definitely need to take out my sd card. I've saved a ton of stuff on it. ...and backup my contacts and text messages.
I have some more googling and try to learn what you wrote for me to learn. I'll also have to find out what ROM to use....
Your Padawan thanks you.

Shouldn't worry about supersu. Most custom ROMs are going to have that prebuilt into it. Once you get TWRP we will go further into detail about how stuff works.
If you use twrp no need to take your SD card out just go to setting and unchecked SD card and like lovespoke said make sure to dl the right file you can dl right fastboot files here on xda just search it
Hey! Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm in the same boat. I've never rooted and I'm looking to root my Verizon HTC one max. I'd also like to maybe install a custom Rom but I'm a noob so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. Ok so it's my understanding that sunshine will root, s-off, AND unlock my boot loader? Btw I have no idea what those terms mean. Anyway, if someone could please confirm that about sunshine, it would really help me out. I've already downloaded and installed sunshine on my phone but I haven't paid the $25 yet.
Xx Moe, I strongly suggest you READ the various threads on XDA about unlocking bootloaders, gaining S-OFF and rooting. You can easily brick a device and there's much less support for the Max now than there was when it came out more than two years ago.
I don't believe Verizon HTC One Max's can be rooted without unlocking bootloader/gaining S-OFF and the exclusive method for that is Sunshine (unless you know someone with a Java card). Once you're bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you can then "flash" any partition on the device and that's how to brick the device.
Once you are bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you start by flashing a 'recovery', which is usually the latest version of TWRP for the HTC One Max. Don't flash a recovery for a different device. (Google "Team Win Recovery Project"). Once you have a custom recovery you can "wipe" your device and flash a new ROM.
Wiping deletes all data, or some data, depending upon how you wipe, and there are not very many Verizon HTC One Max ROMs out there that are fully functional. Check the threads, one sticky thread has a listing of ROMs.
Finally, I don't believe anyone has gotten Marshmallow going on a Max, so expect the "best" you'll be able to do is a Lollipop ROM or a Cyanogen Mod equivalent.
Awesome! Thanks for the super quick reply. So yes, sunshine will s-off and unlock boot loader. That seemed to be the million dollar question since (like you said) the one max doesn't have very much support anymore. I'm definitely going to keep reading the forums because I don't want to brick my phone. I've also been watching some tutorials on YouTube. Everything (so far) seems pretty straight forward now, but you can never be too careful. Thanks for your help hgoldner!

Hey flyhalf, is there a thread on here on how to learn about adb fastboot, and flash the custom recovery for noobs? I cant seem to find it. I'm trying to install a custom rom on my htc one max but this is my first time ever rooting/unlocking an android. Ive searched the site but i cant find a tutorial on how to install the custom recovery or learn about adb yet. I have sunshine already on my phone but i havent used it yet because i want to know exactly what im doing before i pay the $25. Any help is appreciated. I already know how to get into the bootloader by pressing the power and volume down buttom at the same time while the phone is turned off.

Download the platform tools and the android usb driver. Don't need anything else.
But basically if your s-off yet. Boot into HBOOT. Power off phone and hold down both power button and the volume down button. Select fastboot using the power button. Your computer should hopefully automatically pick up drivers and call the device "My HTC" in the device manager. If not you'll need to go in and manually assign the downloaded driver using the link above to the Android device in device manager.
Download twrp image file into the same directory as the platform tools downloaded to. In windows, right click while holding down shift anywhere on the white blank area in platform tools and click on "open command window here".. From there you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery recoveryFileName.img
If it says waiting for device. Check device manager and make sure the driver is installed right.

I forget if you were s-off or s-on but you will need to be s-off or your bootloader will need to be unlocked.. You don't need a rom just yet. You could flash recovery and flash root for starters. But once you get it flashed we can start on what to do next.

Sorry... I started the thread back in January. I've been out of commission and starting over.
I had used Sunshine to S-off and Unlock. I used SU to root. I knew nothing about flashing or fastboot and am still learning. One of your original responses to my original post said that google was my friend, so I googled per your advice and found some information on fastboot.
I don't know what flash root means in your response above.
You had also gave me the link to the TWRP image for my phone. You also wrote "Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command." I've added 2 of the pics again as well as one of your img file in the directory I created when I loaded Android Studio.
The Android Studio I downloaded is the latest. Does that make a difference? I did find info on this site about a minimal adb and fastboot. Would that have been better?
I'm imagining my phone will be out of commission until the new ROM is installed, right? (See how I'm still such a Newbie/Noobie!)
Thank you!

i am also interested in rooting this phone, i have the firmware if anyone can make a custom recovery in order to root it.
i have tried every rooting tool without success.
I'm also looking for a root method for the v3.
It's an inexpensive, neat, non bloatware phone which is really underrated and unappreciated by the rooting community. I also have the firmware and I'm willing to donate the cost of the phone to whomever can post a successful root method?
I have heard that framaroot 1.9.1 would root this phone.
I found this solution in China web site.

how did you flash it (using what)?
In the zip are the instructions, and the tools required (qpst or some). My device no longer works, cause i flashed by mistake another firmware from another device, it boots but the touch is totally messed up.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I downloaded the above V3 high configuration and all the tools and instructions are there in the zip file. Here is the problem though with rooting the device. The device needs to have the bootloader unlocked prior to rooting and if you check your device you'll find that the bootloader is locked on it. I've tried all the oem unlock options and none of it works because it appears that irulu has the fastboot commands turn off for the most part on our device. What we need to do now is to figure out how to edit the bootloader files, ie aboot.c specifically, to allow for bootloader unlocking, then after we do that and flash that bootloader to the device we'll be able to install a custom recovery and root it probably pretty easily. Anyways, if anyone that knows a little bit more about how to edit those files and stuff would like to get involved in this I can confirm that the above link to the V3 firmware is legit and contains the correct files and firmware.
Actually I take that back. I was able to unlock the bootloader with the command 'fastboot oem forceunlock' followed by fastboot oem unlock-go just to be sure and then I checked with fastboot oem device-info and it then stated that the bootloader was indeed unlocked. So that's good news, now we just need to figure out a way to root and install a custom recovery.
I'm pretty satisfied with the V3 2GB phone the way it is coming out of the box.
The only reason I wish to root the device is to get rid of that stupid and annoying bootup music file .
The file on the irulu site is for the 1GB V3 version phone.
I can see that that the link supplied in the past post is for the V3 2GB US LTE device ?
Is that correct?
Thank You
Going to take 2 days to download the V3 High Configuration firmware.
Anyone have a better link so far irulu has not assisted.
Thanks.

Centurylink fiber has some kind of blocks against Chinese file sharing .

Okay I finally managed to root this god damn phone lol I had to port a twrp recovery.img and after trial and error more times then I can count I finally managed to flash a working twrp recovery on it and then from there flashed the latest SuperSU flashable zip via twrp and now it's rooted and good to go. When I get a chance a little later I'll post the twrp that I made if anyone wants to try out out.

Thank You for sharing your skills.
Welcome to Twrp 3.0.0.0 for our Zenwatch 2's
This release I was able to flash the recovery, flash the supersu zip, and flash some others, so far I have not encountered our wild soft brick madness.
Thanks to @acbka for showing me how to get into log files, essentially helping me figure out why the partitions were not mounting correctly when I compiled and recompiled.
Here is TWRP 3.0.0.0
Directions:
Get into fastboot, either by enabling adb by enabling developer options going into settings, about, and taping the Build number 8 times, and going back, down to developer options and enable ADB Debugging.
Then you can type into your CMD or terminal adb reboot-bootloader or by powering down by holding the button or power down in settings, when the screen goes black, repress and hold the button and swipe the screen from the upper left down to the lower right and that should bring up the ASUS logo with CSC Fastboot Mode! on the screen
continue to boot the recovery by typing fastboot flash recovery twrp3.img
OR load up your tethered twrp and flash the image under that.
Hope you guys enjoy! So far I have not encountered soft bricks so it should be safe and sound
thank you, will test now

That im not sure, it might, wouldnt hurt to fastboot boot it and see if itll start twrp. I have the 501
Root will go with modifying the Momentum kernel so you wont have much lag on the watch, and any other root modifications that can go with it, like maybe xposed?
Next step in development is fixing twrp so it can be flashed, then maybe modifying the wear os? Or maybe porting some stuff

Awesome! Got supersu flashed and was able to use Advanced Settings to disable some of the built-in bloatware apps. I'll have to try out the kernel but I'm currently at work and don't want to spend all day messing around with my watch (well... I want to, but I like not getting fired).

I want to test it. But how do I backup my watch and restore it to get updates? And is there something like a KNOX-counter to tell whether the device was modified?

You can tell twrp to preserve the system protection, back every single thing up that you can in the twrp option, push that backup to your computer, and then you can disable system protection. twrp itself wont do anything, however playing with options will modify the watch.
OR you can fastboot pull things off the watch, the system.img and boot.img yourself, in case the ones uploaded in my general thread didnt have the protection enabled.
If you want to hang tight until 1.4 comes out, that can be a good thing too
And im not sure if there is something like that on the watch. I have not seen anything about it before
My attempt was a failure on my WI502Q. I got the following messages. And, OP, how do you pull system.img from a device through fastboot? I thought you needed root permission to do that through adb.
"
C:\adb\zw2>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.381s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.834s

Thanks for this! I was losing hope on any development for this watch but now we have the most crucial component to modifying anything on android, a custom recovery. Going to perform a backup, root and flash your custom kernel you kindly released as well!

Hello everyone, I have been working hard last night to make twrp run on our watches, and this I think is a good representation on what itll be like with actual development going on
As far as I understand people are able to get backups of their watch in order to preserve OTA's before rooting, and I was able to flash some zips and kernels successfully, and I fixed the UI to look better and actually usable on the watch
Also, I was able to flash this puppy, and I got android wear to boot with it flashed, however most of the time, it goes haywire and only boots into recovery. Same thing applies, this shall be a Tethered recovery only until I know why its going crazy.
As always, problems can arise on your watch, so be careful!
read the entire instructions, This is a known way to get system protection off, and to flash zips/kernels when need be. Do not flash please.
Here is the link to the updated twrp
Get into fastboot, either by enabling adb by enabling developer options going into settings, about, and taping the Build number 8 times, and going back, down to developer options and enable ADB Debugging.
Then you can type into your CMD or terminal adb reboot-bootloader or by powering down by holding the button or power down in settings, when the screen goes black, repress and hold the button and swipe the screen from the upper left down to the lower right and that should bring up the ASUS logo with CSC Fastboot Mode! on the screen
continue to boot the recovery by typing fastboot boot recovery.img like the other one.
I also have a kernel underway if people would like to try it out and test it in the next couple days

it could lead to that, yea, since this is the only root method basically, it adds a few extra steps to do it
can we root with regular supersu .zip, or do we need a special build for wear devices?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zB2zRyWlLBNmhwSmNBUEp1SVU/view?usp=sharing there ya go. dunno if the regular supersu works. havent tried that out. this one does. and alrdy has a busybox installer wear app included which u need anyway sooner or later.
there is no supersu manager app in it though like on phones. apps requiring root just have it. tested advanced settings so far for disabling built-in stuff and a reboot option. but maybe there is a supersu-wear.apk somewhere?
not my link. taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65759835&postcount=14 he took it from the G watch R forums iirc.

Let me know the steps you took from when you downloaded it, to when it sits on the asus logo, and do you have the 502 or the 501 watch?

guess that means he flashed it. now his watch is bricked. not that it hasent been mentioned NOT to flash it just fastboot boot ...
flash the stock images via fastboot or tethered (NOT flashed) twrp and you should get your watch working again.

what did u flash to get root? the one twrp offers (if this one does)? the one xda tv featured for 5.0.1 wear http://www.xda-developers.com/root-android-wear-5-0-1-xdatv/ ? or just the newest non-systemless supersu.zip used for phones? with a phone i would just flash away anything. but im a bit hestitant on the watch yet. couldnt find clear info yet.

CAUTION testers needed I have a T820 so this is untested,
Built with the same method as the T820 rom
PLEASE POST YOUR RESULTS or I don't know it works.
Ensure you have full backups, full twrp, and internal data copied to ext sd
DETAILS
Stock Czech firmware base AQF3
Rooted
Zip aligned
Thanks to
Chainfire for supersu
Ashyx for custom twrp and rooting process
Samsung for the base
Take all care back up, beyond that, your responsibility
Links :-
1. Android file host
Deleted
2. 2nd basic rooted zip align only
Same base
Testers for this needed, full backups,
post results good or bad....
Serious flashers only, who will give feedback.
Deleted
3. Rebuilt, new firmware downloaded, root and zip align only,
It's boring but...
Needs testing before I/we can move on
Please ensure full backups, experienced flashers only, and post results, good or bad.
Take note of the reference to twrp and mounting of system in the twrp /root post
Quote :
IMPORTANT! This device enforces dm-verity. ANY modifications or even mounting system will put the device into a bootloop. To prevent this TWRP will ask at first boot if you want to keep system 'Read only' or 'Allow modifications to system'. If you choose to keep 'Read only' you will have to flash TWRP at every boot to recovery.
If you choose to 'Allow' then SuperSU or the boot patch needs flashing below to disable dm-verity.

Ok have you tried with factory reset wipe first, first boot is long can be a few minutes with the logo, only
Sure, I wipe I did. I waited about 10-15 minutes. Should I wait longer do you think?

No that should have been enough, there have been no other reported problems, that leaves the possibility of a bad download. If you check the md5, you could rule that out.,before trying another download .
Does this rom work or have a bootloop?
Maybe that bootloop caused by using T820 kernal not T825 or anything related to T820
Bootloop.

I have a T-820, so was unable to test this, the T-820 version is good, if you're experienced give it a try and report back, there have been some reports of bootloops, I will attempt a new build of the same rom,when I can get to it, but I rely on others for testing, so if you feel like testing and reporting that would be appreciated, make sure you have all backups though

I haven't rooted this tab yet, I've only had it for a few days, I've been reading through the threads, trying to decide if it's worth it at this point.
Make sure it has oem unlocking first. Few people have had issues if oem unlocking not available in developer options.

I don't have this device only the sm-T820 version. Just from reading the twrp recovery thread..others have had problems with frp lock. If they didn't enable oem unlock from developer options before rooting. Just trying to help I apologise. Not many people talk in the tab s3 forum. Trying to encourage discussions. Not sure why nobody is posting feedback. The sm-820 version works great

I should have noticed you from the other thread
Good point, I've done a rebuild of this rom, a basic rooted stock, to try and eliminate a problem from my side. I'll get round to posting that soon, hoping for testers that will post reviews, failing that I'll stick to the T820 for the time being, as I can test that myself.
Thanks for your input, we have to get more discussion on these 2 devices.
Ok, new build posted on opening post needs testers as stated, use all caution, backups etc make sure frp lock is set off in settings - Developer options, first
And post back.... Good or bad

Are you still working on CPH 2459
Yeah I've tried countless things and I can't believe this actually worked. I literally had to find the only Windows PC I had out of 3 or 4 different computers which either ran macOS or Ubuntu lol. You're freaking brilliant, mate and saved my phone from the landfill.
I'm sure there's many more people out there with bricked phones that could use this, so I really hope it helps more people out.

Yes! I'm currently working on a script again with firmware CPH A.08. As I don't have CPH2469 device. So it's a bit difficult when you don't have someone reliable with the device an know what their doing exactly. If I can get someone with CPH2469 to test some things out . an understand before flashing my scripts. I'm not responsible if you brick your device. As all i'm trying to do is help! Not harm nobody or their devices lol.

Why
I need access to the tool for TMobile Nord n20 5g serial number ********
I have no bootloader or baseband I flashed the wrong firmware and no it's just a fastboot brick
