Hy guys, using NetGuard as firewall I found in the System app list a strange app by Nokia caller "Root"
Someone says what is it? I can't see it in the setting - app - show system app list but NetGuard can see it
Other question, in Developer Options (available as usual clicking 8 times on build number) I can see a "Unlock OEM Bootloader", this works? can unlock bootloader or is simple a first step and we need Nokia help tu unlock?
Thanks
I can't answer the first question about the "root" app.
The option in Dev. Options only allow unlocking, but you need to unlock bootloader via fastboot, and that is not easy. In forum for Nokia 6 (the older one) is a thread for unlocking bootloaders, but it is paid, AFAIK.

I apologize if i repeat the question, but recently discovered this site:

Does this way it is possible to unlock the bootloader on xperia s blocked?
And then do consseguir root?
Attention: my xperia s is referring to the "no" in unlok bootloader!
If your boot loader says no, then it can not be unlocked anyway possible. If it can root maybe it will.
Edit: it also conforms on the website that if your device say bootloader: no, then you can't unlock it.

you must go to Sony's Offical page to unlock the bootloader
all third root tools cannot unlock Sony's bootloader in the root progress
(except the root tool suggest you to enter the bootloader-unlock key
(sorry for my poor english

Not entirely true... When it was launched some dealers had access to Sony certified Servers and they could unlock the bootloader status.
The problem is that Sony closed the servers and since then, only Sony can do the change.
So, to get clear: at this time, only Sony can change the lock of the boatloader authorization to Yes.
To do so you have to contact your carrier or Sony in your country.
It is not impossible, but it's only available trough the official channels.

For the past 5 hours I've been scrawling through forum posts and google search results trying to simply find a way to root my device. I use my phone for PC repair A LOT and not having DriveDroid is a massive hinderance.
I finally found that I need to unlock my boot loader before I can root. So I did exactly what the forum post said.
1. Download Unlock tool (ZE551KL)
2. Enable Unknown APKs
3. Move tool to phone
4. Install and run
5. Go through all checkboxes and agree and continue.
Then the app gives me the error message in the title.
"Unfortunately, Device Unlock Tool has stopped working."
Device information:
Model number
ASUS_Z00TD
Android version
6.0.1
Android security patch level
June 1, 2016
Build number
WW_user_21.40.1220.1708
I guess my question is just that. Is there any way to unlock and root this phone? Currently, it's been factory reset and is unlock SIM-wise, but that's it.
TIA.
I just realized that update 1708 wasn't available for the ZE551KL but was for the ZE550KL. The person I bought the phone off somehow got 1708 on the ZE551KL?
You can't unlock 6.0 at this point downgrade and unlock

From here, it says that CM nightly builds need MM firmware. Meaning downgrading isn't an option. What do we do about that? thanks :good:
Hello everyone,
I need some help unlocking my HTc one M8. I ma mainly doing it so that I can recovery lost data. (if you know of any alternatives for recovering lost data that does not inlucde rooting, please let me know.
I am following these instructions to root my device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51465837#post51465837
One of the steps says that I need to enable OEM unlock. However, with my sprint phone, I am unable to enable this feature.
I was wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial for rooting the device.

If you don't see OEM UNLOCK, do you see DEVELOPER OPTIONS in your settings menu? If you do not see DEVELOPER OPTIONS, you will need to this:
Open SETTINGS - ABOUT PHONE
Scroll to the BUILD NUMBER and tap it 7 times to enable DEVELOPER OPTIONS.
Once you have enabled DEVELOPER OPTIONS you can select OEM UNLOCK and follow the steps from htcdev.com
Let me know if this is your problem and if it helped.

Okay, so I have been away from the HTC side of things for a while and I forgot about the official HTC way to unlock the bootloader. When you use the official HTC way to unlock the bootloader you do not have to have the OEM UNLOCK in your developer options. You only have to enable USB Debugging in Developer Options. If you follow the steps on www.htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader you will not have a problem. I've done it before in the past and it's pretty simple. There are step by step instructions when using the htcdev.com site. Once you go to the website you have to create an account to get started. If you need any help with it let me know.

Not 100% certain, but I beleive you'll lose your data when you unlock the bootloader.
What do you mean "lost data"? Appears for your description that the phone is functioning okay. Were the files corrupted, or deleted accidentally? If so, there are some apps on the Play store that you can try to recover the data, that don't require root.
As we were waiting for a long time to get the unlock bootloader codes from Amazon for Fire Phone,but we see that after the phone was discontiniued,Amazon abondoned us in the middle without releasing the Bootloader unlocked codes..
But one of our genious developer @pipataki is succeeded in unlocking the Bootloader Codes
There is a thread in the general thread in which he was working on lollipop update and he succeeded in that as well, there he give us this great news about unlocking the bootloader codes he also said he will make a video of that very soon...So that means now stable custom roms can be made without any camera and other issue
Video with unlocking process from pipataki..
In video, dude has done a hard factory reset if i'm not wrong and nothing relating to bootloader unlocking
This 2 guys, dont trust them. They are doing nothing

No, they aren't fake, but they aren't show bootloader unlock, just hard reset and some commands from fastboot
I don't see how a factory reset, messing with safestrap and then rebooting again into fastboot to check status constitutes as a bootloader unlock.
No codes, no news, no unlock...no open thread.

OP, please press report when you have real content to share ... in-house (as in, not "mime" videos on YouTube).
Thank you.
Hey,
I have been searching for an answer to this for quite a while, and I've found some information. Before you start bashing me in the comments, I do know that Nokia has disabled unlocking bootloaders on certain devices. My question is, is there 100% no (free) way of unlocking the bootloader on my phone, or just in general to get root. I am running Android 9, and I do have adb (of course).
Thank!
Also interested in this ... Don't want to let someone mess around with my phone .. used to do it myself
Short answer, no. By the looks of it there are currently no free tools, etc.
Long answer, yes but not accessible for us currently. There are ways to gain root access/unlock the bootloader on every device. Currently there are some unpatched exploits (that sometimes cannot even be fixed) in the Linux and Android system that are able to root devices, etc. The last few years showed that Baseband (proprietary Qualcomm code), the RAM (Rowhammer, Rampage) and other device features are attackable. Maybe KingoRoot or someone else might implement these exploits in the following years, and we get a free utility to root devices.
Bootloader unlock for Nokia phones!

I'm quite new to this rooting stuff, therefore a few stupid questions:
I read that with old security patches, before Aug 2018 (was that still Android Pie?) it was possible to unlock the bootloader. Isn't there some way to downgrade the security patch to a version allowing to unlock?
Is it at all required to unlock the bootloader in order to be able to install LineageOS as provided by this link?
many thanks!
EDIT: Can you recommend any working alternative way to unlock the bootloader?

August 2018 would have been Oreo and YES currently you have to roll back to unlock bootloader. It's a PAID service to have this done. @singhnsk can aid you in doing this service. I as well as many others have used him to unlock our devices. You will have to use Team Viewer and let him remotely do his work.
Good luck!!
And actually, the main question is how to unlock? Bootloaderunlocker.apk dont work, it say me "google service error" help me please

You da Man! I had to try it a few times, but it worked.
Just to clarify point 3.
3. Now turn developer option on again click OK and as soon as you do you will be returned to previous menu. Immediately click "OEM unlocking", it will show a message and ask your password, (if set), and work.
