Hello friends,
How to get into fastboot to relock the bootloader, if my volume button is dead? By dead, I mean the ribbon has been ripped off of the mobo (it was soldered onto mobo).
Since I'm a brand-new noob, the only way I know of and have done is to get into fastboot mode and lock it back up like what I did when I unlocked it. Any other way to lock it, ideally within the Android OS? Since my volume buttons are completely dead, I doubt that I can get into any "mode" other than OS right now..
TIA!
adb reboot bootloader.
I've seen that command in a post from search earlier, but there was no response after that post.
Would you explain the procedure? I am afraid that I might do anything wrong on top of these disasters i've gone thru with this phone
I also saw another line during earlier search: "if they don't know how to setup an adb command, they probably shouldn't unlock their phones"... Looks like I've done what I shouldn't..?
I would say doing whatever ripped the volume button cable out was what you shouldn't have been doing If you unlocked the phone you have the software you used to unlock, right? What software/guide did you use/follow? Are you using Windows/Linux/Mac? The only way to get to the bootloader w/o the volume buttons (afaik) is to use adb via usb. If you provide more details I can try to help you.

Once you're in adb reboot bootloader, do fastboot oem lock. Opposite of how you unlocked it in the first place

navigate your cmd line to the folder with adb and fastboot in it. Hook the phone up to the computer and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
which will make your phone reboot into the bootloader mode. You can then proceed with what you need to do.

I agree with whoever said that. This is another example of people messing with things before reading and learning how they work.
Thanks for your help guys!
btw, anyone found xdadevelopers to load extremely slower in Firefox when compared to Chrome? (just offtopic)
Anyway, I unlocked the bootloader when I was switching to yakju cmd and this folder called "fastboot-and-adb" in which there is both adb.exe and fastboot.exe. I used command "fastboot unlock bootloader" or something alike.
I'll do some more search and learn. Don't want you guys to think of me as a lazy bone who unlocked their bootloader using 1-click toolkit
p.s. edit: in my other thread, someone suggested using quickboot app.
Thanks for your replies guys!

Somehow it says device not found
I do have proper driver (Naked Driver Beta 0.5 by 1wayjonny) that my phone was able to be recognized under bootloader at the time when I could actually get into bootloader. My phone is also being recognized as media device now... I have also turning usb debug on...
Try adb remount
The ad devices
This should list the serial number
Then all commands should work

You need to turn USB debugging on, and then type "adb devices" and see if it shows up. It may not using the Naked Driver; I had to install the full Samsung USB driver package before ADB would see my Galaxy Nexus.
If it does show up, then you type "adb reboot-bootloader" and it should boot into fastboot. Then just type "fastboot oem lock" and it will wipe the storage partitions and restore the bootloader lock.
Thanks for the help at late night guys. I finally got into the bootloader, thru a mac tho Kinda ironic that I am a supporter of Windows, well, at least a firm user of Windows.
Tried adb remount, it still says device not found

I believe that you quoted my "I have turned USB debug on" ;p
Gave up on trying Windows drivers. When I was flashing the Yakju, I tried Samsung full driver, and it didn't work on my machine, i.e., the phone can't be detected in bootloader mode, while the beta 0.5 driver worked. So I decided not to mess with it anymore.
It looks like when the phone is not under bootloader, windows recognize it fine as MTP devices and install proper samsung driver from the internet directly. This allows me to open it up in explorer to browse files and such, but the phone won't show up under adb devices somehow.
Looks like MTP device (when the phone is in Android OS) and the fastboot mode use two kinds of drivers. This is just my assumption, though.
Anyway, finally got into bootloader now with Mac, and it's pretty funny I have to do everything thru command as the volume rockers are dead
And most importantly, thank you guys for your help!
Just another update
It's real funny now that the bootloader is locked, I can't unlock it again cuz I don't have the volume button working, so I couldn't choose YES on the phone.
I'm not trying to unlock it again, but just to confirm if there's really no work around, in case I encounter this situation again in the future
Lucky that locking the bootloader won't erase everything, or I won't be able to flash a ROM with it locked... :cold sweating:
So I have had my Galaxy Nexus since the day it came out, I rooted it before I even activated it.
Like many, I have used all sorts of different ROMs over the year period.
I have never had any problems with adb or anything. I have pushed and pulled files and all of that numerous times.
Until yesterday, I finally upgraded my recovery from an really old (first touch based recovery) to the newest TWRP. It worked fine. I put my phone into fastboot mode, and was able to flash the new recovery through the command prompt (adb/fastboot) on my PC. Then I switched to a new 4.2 rom (Paranoid android 2.99)
So today, I wanted to try some editing on some system files, so I went to go pull some files off of the phone (using adb of course), but now it just tells me that my device is offline.
I tried
"adb kill-server"
"adb start-server"
"adb devices"
It lists my device number, but just says "offline"
I tried to update everything. (Samsung main Drivers - Google's USB SDK drivers - and the newest version of android-sdk)
Also made sure that my USB-debugging was set on my phone.
Even if I put my phone in fastboot mode, it doesn't recognize it anymore. Which is weird because just last night it worked perfectly fine when I upgraded my recovery. I am frustrated to no end...... Can anyone else tell me what I might be missing here?
Nobody?

only thing i can think of right now, before suggesting omap flash or odin, would be try a different usb port, another computer, another OS!
try installing the latest CWM recovery and see if it helps.

Try going to settings and look for something related to Root Access and it would have three options:
1. Apps only
2. ADB only
3. Apps & ADB
Choose the 3rd.
You might have to hunt the exact location under Settings where this option will be available as I don't remember them exactly.
Hit Thanks, if this helps...
I looked, but I don't see those settings anywhere.
I tried multiple USB port's. Switching from my USB 3.0 ports to my 2.0 ports. nothing. I can still access the phone storage. So I know it is still connecting to the PC. I could try to boot up linux, but I don't have any of the driver's and sdk tools on my linux drive, and from what I heard it was hard to get it all running in linux.
I guess I could try to change recoveries from TWRP to the newest CWMR,
but last time I turned my phone off, put it in fastboot mode, adb didn't recognize it. So im assuming it won't let me flash anything. Unless fastboot sees it but adb doesn't?
I mean my phone is working perfectly fine, running the new recovery and rom. But I have to be able to connect to adb. Not only for modding but in case of an emergency where I would need to flash.

I understand your situation... Since you were not able to locate the option suggested, a little Googling answered it's location, check for same and confirm:
Settings > developer options > root access > apps and adb
This should hopefully help resolve the issue.

hi. i try all this ways. i know that my usb debuging have problem, in development option i'll checked this, and it says enable. but infact it's not enable and still i got device offline error.
also i use z4root app and when i touch on root, it says that rooting need usb debuging enable (please enable it)!!
then move me to development setting to enable that, but this was checked and enable.
is any way that we make device online from my phone? for example using terminal emulator to turn on usb debuging or turn it off. this way is only my way! any one know some trying this?
i also use usb debugger app, but it move me in settings too! LOL
i need enable my device to root that.
thanks every one
I know this is an old topic, but if somebody else googles it, I had that offline issue, the solution was to upgrade adb : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10680417/error-device-offline
You simply need to upgrade to the latest version of adb. Went thru this a few weeks ago.
Hi, great site you have here. I dropped my GS3 and broke the digitizer. The phone turns on, but has a blank screen. Of course I didnt back anything up to google or save my contacts to my sim. I tried using kies with my laptop and connected my phone, but it says my phone is locked. I enabled a swipe pattern on the phone before i broke it, but I cannot unlock it since the digitizer is not working. Is there anything I can do to disable it? Also, Samsung is quoting me about $175 ($65 for the digitizer, $100 for labor/shipping) to fix the phone, however they wipe then entire thing and of course all my contacts, pictures, music, apps and everything will be gone. If I cant get kies to work because the phone is locked, can you recommend a good place to purchase the digitizer? Is it difficult to install yourself? Thanks for all the help
You can use the "adb pull" command to pull any files/folders off your sd-card even with the screen lock (I've tested this). Install the android SDK and adb can be found in the platform-tools folder. Simply use the windows command prompt to pull the needed folders out. Sorry for your misfortune hope that helps.

No problem! Good luck, there are tons of videos/tutorials on how to set up the SDK. Just make sure to install the right drivers or else your device won't show up in ADB.
Just to simplify it a bit, I figured it might save you some time.
1. SDK installer file:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Once you've got the SDK installed and configured open up "Command Prompt" (if on windows) (have your device on and at the lock-screen).
3. In command prompt, navigate to "sdk/platform-tools/" (or wherever you chose to install the SDK, just make sure to navigate to the platform-tools directory as that's where adb is located) (use cd command)
4. Next, type "adb devices" into command prompt to make sure your device shows up (it might be named something weird, don't worry)
5. Now, type "adb pull /sdcard/*FOLDERTOCOPY* (if you don't remember the names of the folders you can dump the entire sdcard)
This will dump your sd-card files to the "sdk/platform-tools/" directory.
Cheers.
wow, thanks for the time to write that out for me, it is greatly appreciated. I will try this out when i get home from work.
Wont identify my phone
Hello! It seems that I have the same problem. I have followed your directions. However, when I type "adb devices" the next line is blank. I do not think that it see's my phone. I have a Galaxy S3 on Verizon. I am running Windows 8. I have attached the phone through it's USB and the computer sees the phone.
Am I missing something?
Thank you
Hi. Most probably it is due to adb drivers not being installed. Download the galaxy s3 toolkit, and install the android drivers from within.

I recently had to pull files from a gnote2 with a broken screen. With the lock enabled you won't have access to the files via adb unless you have a custom recovery installed. What I did was enter download mode and then Odin an insecure boot loader. After that I was able to use adb to pull the files.

Thanks for this, I've just recovered data from a Galaxy S2 using this. I was able to activate USB debugging using blind touches, based on a video, and recovered the sdcard using
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ MYFOLDER
Yea what people seam to forget is that adb only works if it was enabled on the device before hand....

broken screen with screen lock on, trying to use Kies as a tempory remote terminal
Hi all,
I have the Galaxy S3 SGH-I747, and this morning I managed to break the LCD. The digitizer isn't cracked, but seems to be unresponsive.. I'm not with any of the major carriers, I have GCI in Alaska. I'm on the road, away from home, working. I should be able to get a new case when I get home. Which will be in only 4 days, luckily.
I was also hoping I could use Kies essentially as a remote terminal to send SMS or make calls just until I can get home and replace the case. (Which in my mind is actually an easier quicker repair than the screen digitizer replacement, just not always quite as cheap.)
I have ADB, I'm just not an expert with it. Is there a way to use it to disable to lock screen, even temporarily, so I can use the GUI in Kies? Is there any was to turn on the Bluetooth perhaps? I already have the partnership established with my Laptop, and is set up to connect without confirmation. I might be able to figure out a way to get some sort of functionality out of it until I can get it repaired.
Yea what people seam to forget is that adb only works if it was enabled on the device before hand..

Hi guys, is there a way to unroot my phone and relock the bootloader without needing to do anything on the phone itself? The screen is broken completely and, though the phone turns on, the screen remains turned off. I do not know if my network provider will fix my phone but I thought it would be worth a shot and I want to cover all the bases before I ask.

Make sure you have installed Fastboot and ADB drivers..
You only need Fastboot drivers!
Boot Nexus into Fastboot mode!
Open terminal / command prompt =CMD and navigate to folder where is your fastboot files which you need...
Download Stock Google's factory image and extract the files into the fastboot folder and then open flash-all.bat (windows) or flash-all.sh (linux)
Let it finish flashing and let your nexus rest 5 minutes after installation, then pull battery off and put it back and boot into fastboot mode again
Now:
type into CMD or into terminal:
fastboot oem lock
That's it! Easy... and you don't have to see nothin' from Nexus...
Thanks for taking the time to help me out, really appreciate it. If I download mskip's Galaxy Nexus toolkit then will that give me the drivers I need?

You should really drop the toolkit, if you're asking how to relock bootloader and unroot...
Concerning the drivers, there's this really nice package here, there's also instructions for windows 8.
Basically, the steps are those manumanfred told you, although if you're feeling lost, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 is the thread you should look up and read several times at least the first post.
Is there a way to get pictures etc off my phone without being able to activate the screen? When I connect my phone to my computer using the USB cable, it shows as a "portable device" as per usual but when I open it up there is no storage icon and no files.
My phone doesn't have a sim in it but it does have a pattern unlock because it has a VPN saved on it. I know the phone works despite the screen being broken because when I boot it up I get a flashing LED and notification sounds for my e-mail.
Did you had USB debugging on and the PC's RSA key added to the device? Then yes, you can 'adb pull /sdcard/', it will give you a full backup of /sdcard/.

The easiest way is to use one of the fine toolkits which will guid you through the whole process:
For Mac: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790399
For Windows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
USB debugging might have been turned off - I can't remember fully. I recently tried to install fresh drivers as per the other poster's suggestions - will that reset the RSA key permission for my PC?
As for the toolkits, I have one but if I remember correctly the toolkit says that some traces of root will be left on the phone which is why I was inquiring about a way to unroot and relock without any traces of root having taken place.

As for the RSA key, I don't think changing drivers will matter. Try it. 'adb devices' should return your SN.
As for safely unrooting or whatever, just go back to stock through factory images: they will return your device to full stock, pronto. Use fastboot commands instead of a toolkit.

I have had this watch for about an hour now... ANNNND the bootloader is unlocked...
easy steps below
Note For Clarification: you CANNOT do this over Bluetooth.
Enable ADB and connect to computer.
reboot into fastboot using: adb reboot-bootloader
then issue command: Fastboot Oem Unlock
accept the prompt on the watch.
then reboot the watch...
Piece of cake.
Now... about that boot logo...
Yeah its like a nexus in that regard. And no I don't have the watch yet but have ordered it today.
I would unlock mine but there's no reason to yet. I always unlock my Nexus devices first thing yet with the watch I would like to keep it stock for now.
No reason to unlock, until someone creates twrp, and root.

Have not done it, but fastboot takes the -s parameter as well. So I would try:

Enable ADB on the watch (settings/about/tap build# 10 times then developer options, ADB enable)
Download PDANet ADB Drivers: http://www.topnotchtablets.com/installADBdriver
connect to computer. (Using the magnetic USB charging cable)
reboot into fastboot using: adb reboot-bootloader
then issue command: fastboot oem unlock
accept the prompt on the watch. (Hold the watch button)
then reboot the watch...
You should be good

Thanks for replay,
last night i got it, via Bluetooth.
Thanks all, now i have the new kernel and recovery.
I think the new kernel works faster and need less power then the orig one.
best Regards
Thank you !

I have the same problem. Once it boots into bootloader on the watch, cmd prompt on the pc becomes unresponsive and i cannot type anything else in. Were you able to fix yours

What does "issue command: fastboot oem unlock" mean exactly? There is a little red action name which I can cycle between "Reboot", "Shutdown", "Reboot-bootloader" and "Reboot-recovery", none of which seem remotely correct. I went into "Reboot-recovery" to see whether there was further stuff in there, but nothing seems relevant.

So what this means is you need to have ADB and fastboot setup on your computer. From there, you will need to go into developer settings on the watch and enable ADB debugging. Then once you have that enabled, go to where you set up ADB on your computer and type in those commands provided.
P.S. If you're sitting there not sure what ADB means and how to set it up, you NEED to do more research before trying anything like this.

Actually, it has been a bit of a ride.
I knew of adb already from my watch face development so I had initially wondered whether fastboot was a subcommand of that. I didn't expect it to be another command in the SDK at all for some reason. But yep, it's in the same place as adb, and it works, and now everything flashed fine. I don't know why I didn't search my computer for a file with that name, since that would have located it.
Un-hiding the development options is mentioned on the wear developer site so that was fairly easy to set up. The only hard part was that they gave a text-only explanation, but this watch came set to Chinese, so it was a bit fun to figure out which button to press to "confirm" a dialog. I recognised the first option as the "no" and the second option turns out to have been the "yes", but there are more options below that I still don't know what they are, lol.

No reason to unlock, until someone creates twrp, and root.

Custom recovery already available by skin 1980. Take a look here. Custom kernel with custom twrp.

I was thinking to upload a custom rom for Huawei watch “slim system.img, deodexed, root and more " But I need someone to try it first. I am still waiting for my watch. I will upload if anyone is interested.
