Unroot/Relock - Moto Update

Has anyone gone through the unroot/relock instructions and gotten the update notification...
I just want to see if that did indeed work and that it takes it back to true stock...
Just paranoid with updates and what not and want to be sure.
Thanks.

Doesn't sound like development to me

i wanna know if the same method for rooting the current honeycomb will work for the update. :/

Thanks. Just figured I'd post where the instructions were at for doing the relock unrooting. Sorry for wsting your time. Move the post. Or delete it then. Thanks again.

Here are detailed instructions of Unrooting and relocking Motorola Xoom.

I am having an issue unrooting and relocking...
Does anyone know what the problem is if after extracting the contents of HRI39 into \platform-tools after inputting adb reboot bootloader it does not accept any fastboot commands? It says its not a recognized command. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I don't know... If rooting is development, I'm not sure how unrooting isn't as well.

Dear friend
Im not using CM11 and its just for preparing s-off on hboot 1.57.
Your question must be asked in its related forum.

How is my question not related? I asked whether a more stable ROM would suffice, because nightly builds are by definition prone to regressions.

He can only know if it works on the rom he used so you can try out on a stable Rom if you like to test. If all your doing is installing to Soff it doesn't really matter how unstable it is, it's gonna be wiped afterwards.

True enough. I tried it with cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7-m7.zip, and it worked flawlessly. Thanks for the tips!

Unfortunately it didn't work for me, got the dreaded "whelp" message as per usual...

Did you install CM11?
If yes, do it again. Your image shows that your phone has freezed I think.
Do it again.
I had this problem when I was on sense roms.
I must say some times during firewater process phone freezes.
Restart your PC one time.

How About Root?

I know it is still early, but any ideas how to get root?
I just tried the following method without success (check details in the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096)
maybe someone else might try it, to double check.
furthermore, I'm hoping to get an answer from the author / developer if it might be possible in the future.

ok, seems like the method above is outdated!

To whom it may concern (my English is not so good you should just try to get the meaning from the context )
I don't think this is a valid way for the Yoga Book. I compiled the dirty cow Exploit for the Yoga Book but it does not work. I used this code to execute it on the Yoga Book : https://github.com/timwr/CVE-2016-5195/blob/master/dirtycow.c .However this does not work on the Yoga Book : It will either not trigger the expected result to be able to overwrite an RO file or the yoga book just reboots.
There are a couple of developers also confirming that the existing android dirty c0w exploit code does not work on their intel tablets.
So we need somebody with more skills to modify the exploit c code for the intel tablets or another exploit. .....
If somebody has a link to an intel exploit I will test that.

does anyone know if it is possible to dump the bootloader and or recovery without root access?
it would greatly help to build a custom rom.
i was searching a lot but couldn't find an answer or a way how to do it.
or is there any other source out there, where we could get a full stock rom???

Ok, now that I got hands on a flashable stock rom update with the images of recovery and boot partition I 'dare' to port cwm. Honestly, I've never done sth like that and my experiences are litte, so my hopes are actually low.
If anyone can and/or would like to help, this would be highly appreciated.
If it works, it will definitely take its time.
Hope for the the best and plan for the worst.
Cheers

Not yet that I've seen....

hey there,
looks like I got TWRP working. It's definitely an amateur's work and I'm still not sure if everything works as expected, but so far it looks quite promising.
By now I was able to to backup and restore.
At the moment I'm trying to flash su - but without luck so far, it either hangs with a black screen when booting or root isn't installed properly.
So, I will play around with it for a while and report back soon.
Keep your fingers crossed.

It is still not possible, first you need to unlock the bootloader and for this we have to wait for the unlock app ... if they will release it.
Sent from my ASUS_Z01BD using XDA Labs

When it will be possible to unlock bootloader for zenfone 3 laser zc551kl..

Why do you need to unlock the bootloader just for rooting? The default bootloader allows flashing a zip and adb access -- the issue is that I cannot find image files with rooted /system/bin/su - any help?

I was trying all methods to Root my ASUS ZENFONE 3 LASER ZC551KL burt all methods failed.
If anyone from Master Developer here know to root that, Please tell me...
Thanks Before For Everyone Who Read This Question

I found a tool called SRS Root that you could try. I don't know if it works though because I have no intention to root my phone.

Got this message aswell
Code:
Getting OffSets.. : error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported. (False)
Anyway wanted to root only to bypass dun check from vodafone, apparently didn't need to have root permissions.

Is anyone here compiling TWRP recovery for this phone? As I understand it, TRWP is open source and up to the individual to instigate. I have never compiled before. Had a few days of coding classes for web design... But I am willing to do the work if I can. I did not buy this phone for the ZenUI... it has much potential, yes. Anyone here able to give me tips on how to start this process? I want to do the work, just dont know how.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943625
Good luck dude, and don't stress about bricking your phone, just backup your recovery partition beforehand and you can always flash it through fastboot mode.

@biaeuaer
Mate, using the guide given in TWRP site, please compile a Twrp for this device. i am depending on you. Thank you.

Alright, great to see there is demand. Thanks for the nods guys. I will be working on compiling TRWP for OmniROM during the mornings PST, until noon. Right now work means researching what it is I am actually doing, L! So far reading up on the AOSP site and OmniROM wiki and will follow the TWRP guide posted here on XDA. I will update here in a week with my progress. If I think I can do it, I will start a thread on XDA to follow and a GIT repo.
I think all I will really need is the device information to plug in to an existing tree. So thats the angle Im taking, if theres any tips please pass em on!
Thanks again!

Mate, wish you success

@ biaeuaer
Mate, any update on TWRP?

Crikey! This is not for the faint of brain. So, I hope you all realize how noob I am. This is going to take me some time. I cannot just pipe info into a file, here. I need to understand what the file is, what I am piping - because this device is obscure, no one has made this easy yet. I only managed about 5 hrs of research time this past week. But focused I was and now realise that in ordrr to do this I have to start a build environment and work with aosp, to know what I am doing. Step by step.
Sorry its going to take a while! Hopefully will get a good hard day in this week on top of my mornings.
What I am endevouring to understand:
- what is a flag? how to I make on?
- what is a make file?
- how to get device tree out of firmware file
- what exactly I do after porting and flagging and making
- how to do this right - so that it works with omnirom I hope to compile as well.

Mate,
Take your time.

[REQUEST] ALL bootloader unlocked H850 users, I need your aboot! (please respond)

Can someone who has an H850 running any software version and is bootloader unlocked please pull the aboot partition from their device and send it to me? The command to do so is
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sde6 of=/storage/emulated/0/abootbackup.img
I may have stumbled across a bootloader unlock, but need to test out a couple things and need this to verify. Please send to help us poor locked bootloader users!

Sorry I'm on 20a

Not H830, just H850. Sorry about that!

Dang, wish I had an H850 to help you. I know this comment doesn't really contribute but hopefully it'll keep the thread at the top so someone with an 850 sees this.
Best of luck! You're making the end of 2016 sound better and better <3

I'm on 20a as well since a few days back, sorry can't help. Keep up the good work!

Ok, so I tried the "dd if=/dev/block/sde6 of=/storage/emulated/0/abootbackup.img" command and it told me that "'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". I've used adb before but I'm not really familiar with it. I'm using a minimal adb and fastboot, any suggestions.
