I used this method to unlock the bootloader. What can I do now? Are there any recommended mods? Also, what is this about google roms and aosp?
Mods? help me out here, what rom are you running? I think you are talking roms correct?
So you have loki installed, and you are rooted. Are you wanting to try a custom rom.
I am lost here, talk to us.
PLEASE PLEASE start here....

Just paranoid with updates and what not and want to be sure.

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.
Moved to general.
I've done a search and the threads that came up were a bit old and did not provide an answer.
I have a AT&T S4 and looking to sell it and would like to put everything back to stock. Currently when it boots up, you get the unlocked padlock icon on the splash screen. I am looking to get rid of that. Can anyone point me to a method or thread to cover that?
Thank you and sorry if I missed it already listed.
I do not know the answer but I do know that there is a subforum specifically for questions.
That being said, don't you just flash stock firmware with Odin?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 read this thread how to back to 100% stock.
Hi all, i'm on a G900V vers 4.4.2, rooted, running Safestrap on Stock rom. I have a nandroid backup. I'd like to try and update to Lollipop and somehow restore my apps/data from Titanium backup. Is this possible? And if so can anyone point me to a good set of directions on what I would need to get this going?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Tulsadiver. Also found this and going to try tonight. http://youtu.be/WUDIOVas81U
So I understand that there is a new update out and I'm wanting to upgrade to it. I'm currently rooted and have xposed installed. I was wondering if I will keep root and not have to wipe my device.
If I have to re-root it, could someone please show me the steps to take? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
Here you go....

Yes, to upgrade to the newest firmware you will lose root and more then likely have to fully wipe your phone, just make sure you back everything up. The root method is the same as when you 1st rooted your phone, but I will leave you a link to the root thread. Always try to search for the answer's before asking question's. Hope this helps you out buddy Click here

Hey bud I hope I caught you before you took the update. I would read the stock rom thread for that update. Something about not updating the bootloader . I have not taken the update as of yet so I dont know about it but here is the thread for it. You might want to ask in there before updating.
Anyone:
Is TWRP being developed for the Samsung S7 Edge?
If so where can I find a copy that I may Odin?
It not bootloader is locked

We need more than root to use TWRP. The bootloader has to be unlocked. It's not very likely that you'll see any Samsung US versions unlocked, they've been locked down pretty damn tight for years.
I'm looking pretty hard at the Pixel XL.. I miss flashing roms every other night lol.

Oh but it most certainly does.
IF the OP managed to crack the bootloader THEN we can progress on the TESTING phase of a TWRP recovery. If he didn't unlock (or crack) the bootloader then thus it is locked, right? Which only answers the question.
One could easy argue that he didn't realize that the bootloader was locked. Okay. So let's do that. We'll assume as such. So let's wonder together now. Why would a device considered the best (and most popular) Android phone on the market not have a custom recovery? Hmm. That doesn't make sense! So instead of posting the inquiry in the appropriate How To Root section... another thread is opened about it. Undoubtedly, if the OP had read about it (s)he would have found that the bootloader is locked. Right? Because what other explaination could there be for the most popular Android phone on the market?
It really just means that every question has an answer but not every answer can *only* be found by starting yet another thread.
But... maybe... just maybe... he DOES have an unlocked bootloader. Wouldn't that be neat? Wouldn't we like to know how? The absence of such is the very reason we don't have TWRP available. Again... a little reading would lead one to discover that very minor detail. Of which the OP clearly didn't do enough. So... the moral of my point is...

A simple search would have answered his question before he posted his/her question.. yes we all started out asking questions and we all have been told the same thing. Search first before asking questions. Its as simple as that. That is what google is for and the search options in these forums..

I don't get how else should do it. It prevents a load of other threads being created. If we tend to be soft on people who don't use a function that was created for a reason, we would be having threads over threads of asking for something that has been answered NUMEROUS times.

How was I being harsh by inquiring to procedure in which he had used to unlock his bootloader?
Once we are all able to unlock ours then we can develop a fully functional recovery.
I know how you say it.... hey noob topic starter man (just kidding ) that question has been asked a few times already, do a search if you need more information. The same questions over and over tend to clog these threads up. But what clogs them even more, is the multiple flaming responses with no answers or guidance. . Or better yet, you can say... I have a link it's right here vvv.Heresyour answer.com/post710
Well this is TWRP built for Snapdragon S7s but won't boot because of locked bootloader.
