Bootloader unlocked warning - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

Hello,
is there a way to modify or get rid of the warning screen that pops up if you boot your unlocked XX?
You know, that one with the yellow triangle and the five seconds delay.
As I understand you can modify it with fastboot, but I only found that threads for some Motorola devices, so is it possible with the Xperia X?

Maybe by relocking the bootloader?

Well, I installed a custom kernel with root. If I relock the bootloader, I would lose root wouldn't I? So I think that's not an option for me ?

Anyone please? :/

Cant do it. That warning is in the bootloader, not the kernel so it can't be modified.

Thanks for your answer. In the Motorola forums someone described to remove it by flashing a custom logo.bin file. Isn't there any way to adopt this for the XX?

If there was a logo.bin in the kernel ramdisk it would be possible, but there isn't. The warning is embedded somewhere else in the bootloader partitions and attempting to modify those would most likely cause a hardbrick. I wouldn't recommend going there...

Okay, seems I have to stick with that warning though. Thank you anyway.

Well someone did find that the PNG format image itself is in \ramdisk\res\images\warning
I can confirm that it is not in the kernel. The kernel does contain two folders at this location with some battery images (likely when you charge while phoine is off) but none of them are named warning. I own X Compact myself. Just wanted to mention this if someone with the nessesary skills decides to take up this task.

Because it's unnecessarily annoying and jarring/alarming every single time your phone boots up?
Every single Motorola phone I've owned I've been able to overwrite the warning with a custom image with a simple and safe fastboot command. It ends up looking a lot cooler too than the stock (locked) screen since you can put whatever you want in there as long as it's the entire size.
The Motorola forums have entire threads dedicated to shared bootlogo images, with the only difference being the size/resolution, but otherwise they work cross-device.

Sorry....Had a Motorola Moto g2 once that i could Just sas: Okay flash this and this, BAM!" and it was removed.....but in Sony devices IT SEEMS it ist imbedded into bootloader

we would like to do that because
1. it is annoying
2. 5 seconds less boot time because of bootimage not even loading when it appears

[Q] Help me to totally brick my phone! <-- Yes, that really is what I said.

So, yes - I need to know how to brick my phone beyond repair please....
"Why !?" I hear you ask....
Imagine the situation: Some b*st*rd has stolen your phone . You are never going to see it again... ever... absolutely zero chance of getting it back...
If you had the option to brick it so no one could sell or use it, would you?
Yes, of course you would!!
It's possible to remotely execute any BusyBox/Terminal Command using the application Tasker and I want to know which one would do the most damage!?
Please let me know! "How do I totally brick my phone?"
load a corrupted radio file
ohhh, sorry to hear that. I had the perfect solution if you still had the phone. But um yea I don't take out my phone near any friends. My brother got his vibrant stolen only after 2 weeks.
Didn't mean to mislead! My phone hasn't actually been stolen! But I'm working on security profiles and need to know what the final command should be to end its life....
Can you flash a radio from the Terminal Emulator?

This is what I did and I actually got Verizon to give me a re-furb. What it does is bring you to the htc inc white screen then nothing else. Use root explorer go into systems/fonts and change the name on one of the droidsans.ttf files. I think I totally erased the files but changing them should cause the phone to be totally [email protected]#$. I hope this messes up your phone. Lol

Flash a stock recovery image to disable flashable recovery. Also renaming a file doesn't make the phone broken, it just doesn't allow it to boot.

To flash a recovery image from TE use this if your ROM supports it: flash_image recovery /sdcard/(name of recovery)
An example for me is: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img

As long as you're on a custom ROM that supports flash_image you can flash a recovery image through TE.

Do you have the information to know whether it's truly been stolen yet? I'd make sure that it's really been stolen and you, for sure, wouldn't get it back before attempting something like this. I definitely wouldn't want to brick my own phone on purpose just to find out I forgot it somewhere...

See the link above Chris. My phone hasn't actually been stolen, but these commands will be a last resort feature of Sherlock Droid.

You shouldn't brick it quite the opposite, the thief should be able to keep using the phone as much as possible but in the mean time the gps should be secretly turned on and photos should be make so you can track the thief or if that fails publish his info and name and shame him

You are absolutely right godutch, that is the main aim of the profiles to keep booting into the OS at every opportunity, even using fake recovering images (as in a photo of the custom recovery screen) for the splash and boot animation that appear to be the device gathering system information - all the time it will actually be booting with the launcher, notification bar and lock screen etc disabled so not to give it away - once there the priority is to get a GPS fix
However, there will come a point when you've not heard a peep from the device in days and perhaps your insurance (if you have it) have already paid out... In which case, some users will want to execute the remote 'self destruct' command, to make sure the phone will never be usable to anyone else....
Edit: Trying to make the thief provide a valid gmail address and forwarding the new number if the SIM is changed are all in there too!
What if thief changes to SIM that has no data plan or does not enter any wifi area?

[Q] What are fastboot files for?

Title just has it...
What are fastboot files for? everyone keep saying it's a good thing and etc... but I don't really know what's the biga deal
It's the phone os in a file.
Different from the old .sbf, in that it doesn't destroy user settings, accounts, sms etc.

To add to that it is for recovering from a soft brick. So it is kind of a big deal. It may also helps devs not be so gun shy.

The kernel can be flashed by these files, since it's encrypted with the correct password.
We'd need that password to bypass the hardlock, but unfortunately noone will ever want to experiment with that since it may blow e-fuses, rendering his or her phone forever dead.
By the little I know of cryptography, the fastboot only has half the key.
Previously no phone actually used an e-fuse (it was proven on earlier moto phones that e-fuse was not enabled). Does the razr actually use an e-fuse ?

All you have to do is add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build.prop file and then you can remove or freeze the entitlement check app if you want to. Sprint model requires ro.mot.tether_dun_required to change from 1 to 0.
For people who don't want to mess with modifying their build.prop file or use xposed. I made an app which requires Root, that will run a setprop command to bypass the check until you reboot. If you want it to last after a reboot you can select apply of boot to run the command after every reboot. This was tested and confirmed by cvhovey thanks to him for testing it for me, since I have free tethering. This is my first app so I hope you Enjoy it! I want to say thanks to jcase's slapmymoto and the developer of adaway, I used their github sources as references when I couldn't get something working. Also androidicons for the icon template, and Poliva for setpropex, and jduck for getting setpropex working on KitKat.

Seems like anything I tried (not a whole bunch really) with the kernel/boot.img made it non-bootable? Pretty much if it hits the bootloader unlocked screen and doesn't vibrate.....its a no go? Wondering if theres some type of checksum for the boot.img? Not too sure about wallet ATM. Don't really use it, and this is based off the OTA so....I'd assume it should be fine? I remember some stuff way back on this, may have to step back and see if there's something to utilize. This isn't my first rodeo.....but it's the first one I've entered.:laugh:

Was just using the kitchen tool. Anytime I touched the boot.img it wouldn't boot up..... Or it would not vibrate at the splash screen, boot up, but not "see" user touches on the screen. Acted like the digitizer was totally off. Something I noticed is if it vibrates at the splash, it was good. No vibrate, definitely something would be wrong. Going to take my time with it next week.

http://pastebin.com/tSGxTmYq save this script, run it against stock boot.img. youll get a DTB.img, extract your boot.img, edit what you want in ramdisk or swap zimages. then use a modified mkbootimg to include the dtb file as part of it all

I got the sprint deodex rom booting on my vzw dev edition doing like you said. But sadly I found google wallet would not work. It just sat saying "finishing up a few things." So I guess unfortunately there is a hardware issue preventing wallet from working on the non-sprint variants. That sucks!!!
I don't understand why but I noticed between the t-mobile, verizon, and sprint roms that the signal bars are slightly different on every one. Sprint's seems to be stretched out a little more and have an extra bar or two. I hate all of them though because the grey has some funky white lines through it where the separations are instead of being solid grey. I don't know what was wrong with the stock android signal bars that none of the carriers wanted them

[SOLVED] [Q] VZW Max Won't Connect to PC but charges/constant reboots

I have a vzw max and i recently reverted everything back to stock and unrooted; or so i believed. The kernel still says 3.4.10 etc. and the phone has no signal nor can it find my location. It keeps rebooting every 30 secs or so and no matter what mode I put the device into, it isn't recognized by my PC. the bootloader is locked and I am S-Off. This all happened after I tried to flash CWM's HTC M7 recovery because the Max isn't listed and I couldn't figure out how to flash TWRP. Help please because this is getting crazy and I can't figure out what to do...

dude i feel for you.
why did you put m7 cwm on there. clearly not for this device.
can you still get to bootloader? if you can flash the correct recovery! then find a backup someone has done and restore. or flash the correct boot.img
dude here's the correct recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498749
Well the only problem is my any pc won't even detect that it's connected when I plug it into it. So I can't use any fastboot or adb methods and even when I put the phone into fastboot mode it doesn't connect either. I'm able to put it into bootloader mode and it doesn't reset but still no connection; just charges. I've tried flashing through stock recovery manually and it aborts every attempt I'm assuming because my BL is locked..
No it doesn't

I wasn't trying to hide anything. I typically will walk a user through using the encrypted RUU (my person preference as i know it's intact) to restore their phone as long as it can boot to bootloader. I take it offline because the mods didn't take kindly to the encrypted RUU being posted in the past. I don't have an answer as to why that was case so I just keep that part off the main threads. If its someone in need (like the OP) i have no problem helping one on one.

If its someone in need (like the OP) i have no problem helping one on one.

It's cool, I didn't mean it to sound like anything was being hidden, I just like to read all this stuff and take it in for future reference as I don't want to bother you guys unless I just cannot figure it out on my own. Believe me i really appreciate all you guys do on here as this is an invaluable resource if people take the time to read through things. I was unaware that they didn't want the RUU's on here which really sucks because they are nice to have like I had them for the rezound and it came in real handy at times. Not having them for this device yet has been one of the reasons I have been hesitant to do much else than to S-OFF and root. At this point I guess I am waiting for the OTA Kit Kat update then I will probably dive in.

I'm looking for a specific boot.img. it's in the title.. you need to use the msm download tool to revert back to stock. Sounds like your partitions are messed up and I assume they weren't backed up. I was hard bricked at one point and the msm tool was the only way for me to fix it all and revert back to stock. Make sure it's the correct msm tool for your phone though.

Can you send me the link for the specific boot.img I'm looking for by chance? It's the 11_C.10 version.

Why you can't just unlock it again? Do you have the the T-Mobile version?
The bootloader is encrypted and OnePlus's token just gives you the private to match the public encryption that keeps the bootloader from being edited. In theory if you can discover what file type one plus's token is in and eextract that and somehow dump your bootloader you could possibly manually decrypt it.
Do you have access to a Personal Computer? I could offer some links to a few programs that may be worth trying. I doubt it could hurt trying.
I could use teamviewer to try to use my tools to force your bootloader to unlock also if you happen to not find a solution.

Pretooted, that's funny as can be. A pretooted sideload so he can pull his own.
Ok so 2 things..
1st: Jayram1408, for being a senior member I'm really surprised you'd laugh at me for asking a question or not knowing something. Usually this is a safe place to learn, ask questions, and receive feedback that's positive and informative. I don't know if you think others will laugh at me with you but I doubt it
2nd: I don't know what is funny in the first place, pre-rooted GSI for DSU Sideloading purposes do exist and that's a fact. It makes it so you can use Partitions Backup & Restore properly when the GSI is loaded. Please read https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-boot-image-and-making-your-backups.4499447/
Hopefully that catches you up with the rest of us and hopefully in the future you are but more helpful then hurtful to members within the community.
Hey All,
I am trying to root my Nord N20, but am getting a bootloop when trying to boot boot_a after flashing a magisk25210canary patched boot_b image over boot_a. I am flashing a patched boot_b image over boot_a because I am too scared to flash magisk patched boot_b over boot_b (which contains the working OS). My version information is:
android 12
Build: GN2200_11_C.11 Kernel:5.4.147-qgki-ga9e7460afd8c
