unlock immediately or wait?

In an attempt to think about something other than 'when will it ship', I'm trying to decide if the bootloader should be unlocked:
immediately on getting the phone;
wait a couple hours to be sure the device has no major problems;
give it a week or two to see if any issues come up
Reason for waiting would be in case you have to do a exchange/return, and unlocking bootloader (I believe) voids warranty. So what do other people plan? Is it easy to re-lock the bootloader in case you need to send the device in?

You can always re-lock the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem lock

without any rom to flash why unlock it so soon?

unlock that baby

Since, as a security measure, the phone nukes all data when it is unlocked, I'd rather do it earlier, before I get any of my data on there.

because if you don't unlock the bootloader right away, then when you decide to do it at a later date, all of your info and data will be wiped.

If you are going to flash a new ROM you need to wipe anyway. So I guess I'll wait for a little bit. Even though all the apps screaming root privilege in my face.

Unlocking bootloader is a different type of wipe that erases all data on the device I believe, including /sdcard
When wiping before installing a ROM it's usually just /system folders wiped that pertain to the ROM, but your personal folders and data (pictures etc) will stay intact.

There are many useful apps that require root privileges. So even if I dont flash a Rom, having root is a high priority. I expect a custom recovery will be created very soon. Hopefully before Monday when it comes.

my understanding is that unlocking will wipe everything on the /sdcard partition as well? In which case everything you've transferred: music, videos, whatever, would be lost. Just wiping data for a new rom doesn't have quite the same impact.

I made the mistake of waiting to unlock my n7. Fair to say i will unlock this straight out of the box

Unlocking it is the first thing I'm gonna do.

I have waited as there is nothing worth flashing yet.
No big deal to pull things from the phone and unlock at same time as flashing

Unlock it as soon as you open it:good:

Considering this is a pure android experience Nexus, I don't think I will ever install a rom or anything else besides apps. I honestly don't really see the point, it seems most roms for other phones try to make a rom be like a pure android experience. So to me I don't see the point when it is already done.
Example would be the rom on my GSIII its 4.1.2 but doesn't have any of the features that 4.1.2 had on Nexus 4 in the videos and reviews I watched. Seems more like the original Jelly Bean.

4.1.2 is original jelly bean
4.2 is on the nexus 4.

unlock after checking if there are any malfunctions

I probably won't end up flashing any custom roms, at least not for a while, but don't some good apps (LightFlow?) require root? Mostly, it's just future proofing.

A501 Return To Stock

Hello All,
I am attempting to return my A501 to stock ICS from full rom package in the dev thread that is sticked.. Can anyone please tell me if it will remove the Skrilaz bootloader? if so will that break anything??? I currently have 4.4.2 Omni rom on it and it randomly restarts well, when ever it feels like it and i need it to work 85% of the time at least. Thanks In Advance.

When you get back to stock, you will loose your: data, ROM, recovery and bootloader as well. But then you would have a clean tablet that you can unlock again, and install your favourite ROM.

Gave it a try, it no longer randomly restarts but suffers from Sleep Of Death. So again I have a useless tablet. back to stock it goes and most likely for sale as i need newer versions of STABLE android. a device that i have keep awake 8 hours a day for fear it will not wake up is useless and no one is offering any ideas on the tegraowners

Of course we can get your started but see
But first you must answer us these question three.
Why do you want root?
Do you have a computer? (This is a must for root.)
Are you ready to be disappointed?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/how-to-root-s7-edge-t3410470
follow this (use odin to flash rooted kernel) ......you should search before posting things like this.....google is your friend bro.
GOOD LUCK - BTW use flash fire app in play store to make backups and flash roms

Okay okay.
A quick glance at T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion would have led you to the "How to root the S7 EDGE" thread.
I'd take a look in there if I were you.

Well while I was waiting I just rooted it. So what do you think that would be the next step towards installing a rom? To answer your survey questions :laugh: :
1- Because a phone without being rooted is like a bird without wins.
2- I do
3- Oh well... tell me more

Well then.
Rooting the phone (as I'm sure you had already found out) was fairly easy.
BUT... since we do not have an unlocked bootloader then we cannot have any custom recovery. Which means we can only (for now) use adb and Fireflash to flash any custom firmwares. And while we're on the subject of that... there is only one custom rom. Well... technically there are two but only one for you since you updated to the latest firmware.
Echoe ROM which was updated (ummm...) September 9th (not including the Verizon version which might work but with no promises)
Tekxv2 which was updated back in July. Unfortunately, that is flashed by adb (computer required) and only supports G935TUVS3APD8 which is... pretty old.
Things that you may notice with root.
Battery life may be shorter.
Strange icons on your status bar.
Might start to have random reboots for absolutely no reason.
Can't use Samsung Pay and some other apps.
Phone might be laggy.
Phone might feel hot.
Some of those can be resolved by flashing the only custom rom that we have (Echoe ROM... which is a rather nice rom) but it's not "there" yet.
Or you can use the guide in my signature to resolve issues like the lag and the strange icons. Yet even after the "fix" you might still experience both again from time to time.
You might even have the IMS force close issue which I used to get about once a month. It would piss me off because no sooner that you click the button, it'll pop up again and you don't have time to do anything. You're pretty much forced to reflash stock, wipe, re-root, restore a latest backup... which can take hours and is rather inconvenient if it happens to you while you're at work like it always seemed to happen for me.
SO...
All in all... root is okay. It's better than nothing I suppose. But until we get more developer support for this phone then in my opinion it's kinda pointless in my opinion.
Too many drawbacks. I eventually unrooted two weeks ago and I love my phone now. I'm using the heck out of Samsung Pay especially since their promotions are pretty nice right now! Plus a few members are testing the Nouget update which probably won't be getting root at all since rooting requires an engineering kernel which we don't have and might not get. Or an unlocked bootloader which we've pretty much given up on.
A lot of members that are testing the Nouget beta firmware are extremely satisfied with it so if we can't root Nouget then having a rooted S7 will probably fade away as more people update to Android 7+. That's where I see this going anyway.

So for what I understood the dev support for this phone is very limited... I know the issues I may encounter, I had them with the galaxy note. but any way... If something I'll unroot it but I want to try it out Thank for you time. I've rooted it.
EDIT: Damn... I really don't like the visual style of Echoe... is that one the only one I can flash??

How are you doing with the ads? Like youtube, pandora, spotify? I just installed xposed and the phone feels very hot, and If I unroot it (which I'm thinking to do) I won't be able to get things without ads (I know about vpns and browsers). Also how can I install teaks for apps? Installing apks from pages that promise you this and you have to log in is very untruthful. Any suggestions to all this?

I just put up with them.
In all reality, I don't use my phone for the purposes that require my viewing of ads to begin with.
Sure when I was rooted I had adblocker. But honestly, I had completely forgotten all about that benefit of being rooted until now.
I suppose if you absolutely need to be rid of ads then by all means, retain root. However ads don't effect my daily use one bit.

You're probably trying to flash a firmware with a V3 bootloader over G935TTMB4APK1.
If you were seriously following that (outdated) guide step by step then you tried flashing TMB_G935TUVU3APG1.zip over a PK1 firmware. Yeah... that doesn't work.
Download the latest firmware from sammmobile.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935T/
Try it again.
IF that doesn't work... try using Smart Switch.
I haven't done it before but I think it's the Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization.

You should flash everything.
BL= Bootloader (which should be V4 since you updated to the latest firmware already. Anything less than V4 will fail.)
AP= Is for System, Cache, kernel, etc.
CP= Is for modems
CSC is for your HOME_CSC_TMB_G935TTMB4APK1_CL9507190_QB11413830_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 file.
Important! If you use the CSC_TMB_G935TTMB4APK1_CL9507190_QB11413830_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 (doesn't have the word "HOME" in the name) then it'll wipe your phone!
If your phone still says "CUSTOM" on it then make sure that reboot and check again. If it still says custom then make sure that you don't still have the engineering kernel. Re-flash the AP files again if so. It shouldn't though if it's 100% stock. Also note if you saw the unlocked padlock on the S7 Edge splash screen (before the bootanimation).
Good luck and happy New Year.

[H918] Random Reboots on Custom Roms

So, I had a day 1 v20 that began randomly rebooting back in december. Thought it was a hardware issue and finally got around to replacing it the other day. Now, after getting the replacement v20 set up on a custom rom (AICP) I'm seeing random reboots again. I've tried every single custom rom available for the h918 and they all experience reboots. When i've asked about the issue in the threads it seems as if I'm the only one. It appears to be a custom-rom only problem that apparently no one else is experiencing? The kernel panics are being caused by the modem, and it started happening when I upgraded to the 10j base. This replacement also came with 10j. Am I just super unlucky with two duds or is there really something going on here?
TLDR; Anyone else with a h918 with 10j bootloader/modem running custom roms and seeing random reboots?

What kernel do you use? If you use Konverged, it seems to give random reboots after a while of use. I noticed that right away though.

Have always left kernel stock.

Are you making sure that you are wiping data when flashing a rom? Clean install should help. What other things do you use? When does it crash? Maybe a root app is causing this???

This is a fresh replacement device with a clean rom install. There was no data to wipe. Happens even without any apps installed and it's completely random and cannot be reproduced. The only thing I know is the modem is causing the kernel panics.

The entire point here is that I don't want to run stock or anything based on stock. I would simply chalk it up to the Lineage base but since I'm one of a serious minority having this problem I'm led to believe it's something simpler that can be fixed. Possibly related to 10j as most custom ROM users are still running 10d firmware

Anything not based on stock will give you issues. One reason why I like stock based roms is because the second screen will actually work... I would atleast test a stock based rom to see how it goes. If it works and doesnt crash, Then something is wrong with the rom or your could be flashing it wrong :/ Idk, just an idea to test. Non stock roms will Always give you issues. Always
If you still have issues on a stock based rom, then I would downgrade with the kdz and try again. Its probably crashing since the modem is 10j and the rom isnt really fit for that.

I never used the second screen, it's more of a nuisance for me. Everything it did can be replaced by gestures and lockscreen settings on custom. Only thing I miss is notifications but that's why we have ambient display.
I might try downgrading to the 10i firmware to see what happens. Unfortunately there are no 10d flashables. Otherwise this ROM is flawless.

I never used the second screen, it's more of a nuisance for me. Everything it did can be replaced by gestures and lockscreen settings on custom. Only thing I miss is notifications but that's why we have ambient display.

Not to shoot down your opinion, but why would you get it if the Second screen is a nuisance to you?? Im also pretty sure camera is screwed on custom roms.... I just dont have that appeal. Its better safe than sorry to check and see if a stock rom works fine than to downgrade and it still doesnt work :/ Idk thats my 2 cents

It was between this and the axon 7. I didn't want a fullHD screen so that eliminated a lot of the other options.

Note 7 chaos force you to this phone as well? I prefer the second screen tbh. I haven't touched a custom rom since my note 2 and I had issues with them then. But hey, if it ends up working then more power to ya

Not a Samsung fan. Especially with KNOX. I buy phones first based on the chances of development producing workable custom ROMs and second based on hardware features.
Back to the main topic: I just managed to flash the 10i modem alone so we'll see what happens. I'm working on extracting the 10d modem as well.

UPDATE: Flashing the 10i modem made no difference, still having random reboots (although they seem less frequent), I will try the 10d modem once I find a way to extract it from the TOT files posted on this forum.

Moto X Pure help asap

I posted the same thread a week ago and got no help. My moto x has a problem that whatever rom i flash it just stays open for a few minutes then restarts so it's unusable. Please any suggestion is needed as this is my daily driver

What do you mean by it just stays open. Do you mean it never boots? Like a bootloop? If so, search 7.0 ROMs bootloop, you'll find the solution, tons of threads on the help and q&a here. But if you don't mean what I just explained then could you clarify?

Sorry for not being clear, i dont think it is bootloop. It boots into the rom no issues and i can use it normally and doesn't restart till a few minutes no matter what rom i flash.

If I were you I would flash back to stock and make sure you you don't have a hardware problem, If nothing else it's a chance to start over. I haven't gone to custom roms for these reasons, mine is my daily driver to and I can't afford to get caught without it.

No worries. Yeah I don't know what the issue could be, could be a ROM issue, it's weird though, but like the poster above me, it could be hardware failure and flashing stock would be a good way to find out.

I would love to go back to stock but how? All the tutorials are very hard for me to follow can you guide me to an easy one or tell me how?

I agree that they are a little hard to follow, I looked at them myself and it looks like the quickest way would be to go back to 6.0 and upgrade back to 7. But someone else could correct me on that.
For future reference, it's best to always twrp backup your stock rom before doing any kind of major changes especially custom roms. That way you can always fall back to original if something goes wrong.

I would go back to stock 6.0, if he hasn't upgraded to 7.0, I'll do some digging, find good guides, and post them here in a bit @Philo0o!

Yeh before i started flashing roms i was on stock 6.0, thank you so much

I think I might also do a twrp backup of my 7.0 and make it public, but it will take me a couple of days before I can factory reset. There doesn't seem to be any stock 7.0 backups around on xda.

That's good news actually, there's a lot more stuff around for 6.0.

Alright if you wanna go the custom ROM route, don't update to stock 7.0, not many custom ROMs work with it's new firmware. I'll get you a guide to go back to stock 6.0 then!
Edit: Alright @Philo0o, here's a good page with all the firmware links for your phone, and the commands to flash the firmware are there for you. Let me know if you have any questions about that.
Also, when your ROMs aren't working, what are you doing to try again? what I mean is you could try a full data format in twrp. Not just a wipe of data, system, etc.. A full format isn't quite like going back to stock, but it may help if there are leftovers somewhere causing issues if that makes sense.
so if you wanna try a full format, backup your internal storage to a computer, or to an sd card, and then format, and then you will have a clean slate, move what you need back over to your phone and voila!

Ill look through that tutorial, and whenever i flash a rom i do a full a wipe

Alright, then yeah look through that tutorial. If the issue isn't there on stock, but is on custom ROMs, try asking in those threads
