If devs could've, they would've..
And as to your question, Unfortunately the ans is NO..It won't happen..

It is possible to modify some kernel to run on defy even with locked bootloader?

How to remove the padlock

Hi guys, today I bought my nexus 7 and I just unlocked bootloader and rooted with Nexus 7 toolkit.
Now I've a padlock icon during boot (since I unlocked the bootloader). Is there a way to remove it?

The only way to remove it is to relock the bootloader. It's to show to you and everyone else that it is unlocked.

That padlock is a good thing. It's the symbol of your gateway to freedom.

Nope. Less you want to rewrite bootloader

There is software on the play store that can be uses to overwrite the boot image. I Dont know if it works in this device but I heard it works on the galaxy nexus and I had a custom boot image on my old epic touch and HTC eris.

the samurai boot image was the best. But its different with the nexus devices that image is stored in the boot loader not the kernel like the epic 4G. As of yet I don't think there is a way. Logo me doesn't work for the N7 like the gnex.

I think you can decompile the boot-loader. find the storage sectors where that image is at.. Replace the binary with that of a image you wish to use. Maybe even replace it with some empty data code. re-compile boot-loader and flash to your device..
This is why over my head . just information from following the threads in the a500 forum. Where the AWESOME Developers there worked together to build a new boot-loader for that device..
I might be wrong .. But it would be a first in a very long time . But i might be wrong about never being right as well OK IM CONFUSED NOW.
The simple answer is NO.. the app mentioned about says it only works with LISTED DEVICES . Nexus 7 tablet is NOT one of them..
Confused erica.

When I tried to root my n7 "nexus 7 toolkit 2.0" told me I can't root without unlocked bootloader. Now I unlocked and rooted, if I relock bootloader with the same tool does root remain?

Yes root will remain but its pretty pointless to relock becuase if you ever want to flash a rom or something similar you will have to unlock it and it will delete everything.

Like ÜBER said, re-locking the bootloader is pointless. Why don't you like the little padlock?

Hahahahah ok thanks to all! I'll remain unlocked and I'll flash the cwm recovery

can the bootloader be relocked after flashing a custom ROM?

About time.. now we can just upgrade system and what not and retain WP

What's the best way to do this? Do we use fastboot and mfastboot?

Can we flash it?

Use rsd lite
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk

So using rsd lite, we will be able to keep root and WP?

I don't know about WP but you will have the option to root using TWRP recovery

Why?
Since T-Mobile devices can be bootloader unlocked, you could just unlock your bootloader, and root via TWRP and SuperSU. So why wouldn't you, other than not wanting to void your warranty?

Another dumb question: can i flash this with twrp or is only with rsd?

Only rsd

So has anyone that's rooted 4.4 with a locked boot loader try this yet? Can we just fastboot the system.IMG while keeping root and WP off?

Exactly not voiding the warranty. I just got the phone in December and I love it. But frankly I'm concerned of voiding the warranty so quickly. I can see the foam around the front camera is already sliding a bit and potentially could impact the camera later on if it does. But maybe it never will. I don't want to send it back in just for that when it works great you know.

Updating cloud print?
Have you folks noticed an inability to update Google Cloud Print with this image? As in, when you attempt to update from Google Play you get a message about signature conflict?

Yup, same thing happens with the OTA version that I have, I doubt they will throw together a whole new build just to fix that though.

Or mfastboot
(if you like to do things manually)

Sorry for my ignorance, but is this different then the ota soak test?

It appears to be the exact same version.
And of course the OTA update is just an updater that modifies only certain parts/pieces. The SBF is the full rom.

Updating rooting and unlocking?

Supposed to have my A7 Sunday and wondering if I accept an OTA if that kills my chances of unlocking the bootloader and getting TWRP? Sorry if this has already been answered just antsy to get it going before I have the device. Thanks in advanced!

Yes, all US model firmwares can be bootloader unlocked.
First follow this guide to flash TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204
Then follow this guide to unlock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165

Awesome thanks!

I don't understand the issue. There is a very clear guide on how to root here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-how-to-root-pure-style-t3503958. I was able to install TWRP and root with relative ease. The hardest part is just making sure you read for the details.

I successfully downgraded from marshmallow to lollipop and unlocked bootloader installed TWRP and rooted,then bypassed the factory reset protection so I could log in to Google on the set up screen.

It was easier for me to root by downgrading. If that makes any sense,which it probably doesn't lol. And thanks

Im glade I bought this phone. I was so aggravated the past few days because of the factory reset protection crap, but after I learned how to bypass it all is good now. Could anyone recommend a app or modual to use to change the navigation keys?
