I just re-locked my bootloader

So, my Nexus has been doing strange things lately. I was trying to go back to stock and, after doing some things I'd been thinking of during the past weeks, I tried locking my bootloader again, with the following command:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/STOCK$ fastboot oem lock
... INFOLock successfully...
OKAY
My bootloader doesn't have the ***UNLOCKED*** pink letters anymore and my boot screen hasn't got the lock either.
So I think I can say I've successfully re-locked my bootloader.

thats awesome...i will have to try when on home computer

Anybody tested?

Wow, there's an over 500 bucks award waiting for you! Congratulation!
Can you please report how is your phone now in more details? Is it like stock now? Or does it still running with rooted rom?

I'm uploading a video just now. Still on Kang-o-Rama's 2.2 FRF50 ROM and I do have root. Everything just as before.

I tried, but it shows "INFOPlease disable the security before lock"
dosen't work for me.

Yes, this is what happens on retail Nexus Ones. The only phones this command has worked on are the holiday Nexuses.

Sorry, not buying it.

your sig says you got your phone from MWC? i'm assuming this was one of the google handouts, which probably were a little different from retail units, if not the same as the holiday phones...

Not to derail, but what's the name of the boot animation you're using and can you post a link?
I'm also pretty jealous that you're launcher is so smooth. Mine has been laggy since CM 5.0.6 and continues with the RC Froyo I'm running now.

I think he's using ADW launcher, it's on the market and it's definitely better than stock

You have yet to prove you even own a retail N1. If you don't then this information is completely useless to 95% of the people here.

Hit it right on the head. OP, I can't see your SPL clearly in the video, but can you verify that it says S=OFF?

Well, you may not care, but it was discussed 100000 times before.
"Holiday" / developer Nexuses can be locked.
Retail can't.
Get in your bootloader and see if it writes "S-OFF", which it certainly will do (otherwise it wouldn't lock your bootloader). When it does, post an apology to the poster you "didn't really care" about, and stop spreading wrong/old info.

[Q] Does Wild Blood 1.1.2 still work on Android Kitkat 4.4.2?

Hi guys, does anyone of you play wild blood on a 4.4.2 phone? Since upgrading my SM-9005 note 3 to 4.4.2 my wild blood installation hasn't worked ever since, the game crashes immediately at launch. I also received a "wild blood has stopped working" error RIGHT AFTER upgrading to kitkat for no apparent reason... can anyone help me fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hmm.. what's wrong with my installation then? Apparently it works using a modded apk which gives unlimited gold... but I want to play normally, without cheats. Have you played it on a SM-9005 note 3?

Is it the "Matrix by Neo" (it's written under the icon) unlimited gold apk? How playing with everything unlocked from the start is any fun? =\

I see, it looks like you can't help me get a working unmodded version though since your working version was modded too... thanks anyways!
Anyone else who played a no cheats 1.1.2 version on Kitkat (or any version that's not the "Matrix by Neo" one)?

Lollipop 5.0 No smart scroll

I have just noticed there is no smart scroll feature on my phone.
Used to have it on kitkat but lollipop.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Any workaround?

My question is why did they took it off from lollipop?
I don't want to downgrade but i miss smart scrolling.

Because it was just a crappy gimmick for the majority of people

try Tilt Scroll is not the same but is good :good:

I don't understand how it worked for you! I have tried to see how that thing works (I know how it should) in broad daylight under direct sunlight, but I could never make it work! Not only that, Smart Pause, Smart Stay, none of them worked! I was sure that something is wrong with my eyes, maybe people need to have some different kind of eyes, but then I asked at least a dozen of my friend to try to make it work, they all failed, I sighed knowing I have human eyes. Since then I hated any Smart features, and I am so happy that Lollipop doesn't have most of them.

Camera quality after root

Hi guys I just rooted my edge and flashed a custom ROM. Everything is smooth and I can't get enough of this phone, it's fantastic! But I don't really know for sure but I have a feeling that the camera quality dropped and doesn't look all that awesome after I flashed echoe ROM. I was on stock for about 2 weeks and loved the camera but now it "feels" normal. Do you guys feel the same or is it a known fact after rooting this happens?

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Rooting doesn't do "those things". Why are you talking about roms that are not on XDA? How do you expect to get a specific answer when no one knows what you're talking about?

Ehhhhhh. The camera doesnt get "broken" or "bader" just because you rooted and flashed a custom rom. And like the guy up here said, your talking about a rom that isnt on xda?!
The "feeling" you have about the camera is "normal" as you said, is that you just got used too it. Nothing else

Thanx for the straight and honest answer... Sorry about posting about a ROM that's not on XDA but still...

Actually, if it's not a stock based ROM, your camera won't be as good. So that's definitely something to look into. As for root, it doesn't affect it, simply gives you extra permissions.

Sorry didn't mean to be a ****.

Have to say that I cannot agree with you at all.
If you have an issue,say a "bug", then out of respect you should engage with the dev directly.
He is more than helpful and deserves some respect.
Suggest that you delete this great Rom and go back to where you came from which is stock.

@Brava27 Na you okay dude. I know I asked a stupid question but I had the similar effect on my z3 and thought maybe it could be the same effect once I unlocked the bootloader
@Ashish7347 you got a point there maybe I should talk to him and see but going back to is a big no for me. The idea of stock just kills me I'm a flashaholic
