Root Anyway to remove "RELOCKED - SECURITY WARNING"?

[monkeytools]

ok this phone is being a pain. and pissing me off. here is where I am at. finally got it to boot after relock. now it tells me I don't have permissions to dd the mmcblk22, have tried to change permissions but will not take. does some one have an idea.

If the Rom was rooted before,relocking the bootloader should not have had an impact,unless you had to run an ruu to get the phone to boot.

If superusr is still in your app drawer,then try entering "su" after "adb shell" if you aren't allready. You'll need to be at a "#" prompt.

If you ruu'ed and are 100% stock now you'll have to:
-reunlock
-"fastboot boot" recovery. Don't actually install it with "fastboot flash"
-use fastboot booted recovery to install supersu
-relock

The phone should have no issue booting if superuser is the only mod. Boot,recovery are 100% stock,and system is 99.9% stock

Did you do an unlocked dd of mmcblk0p7 as well? If not,do one after installing superuser,but prior to relocking. Do another after the relock

Thanks! Holler if you have more questions

Would this remove the tampered / relocked message in hboot and change it to just plain "locked"?

Running an ruu will remove the tampered banner. Unfortunately,unless we can find the lock status flag,and remove write protection from that memory block,relocked is the best you can do.

We'll get there someday. Thank you for the help and effort .

I can see it's been a few months since the last post, so, I'm hoping this wasn't abandoned. Was there any progress made since then? I have 2 ED4Gs, one unlocked, and one relocked with warning. Unfortunately, the unlocked has a bad usb port and I can hardly ever get it to hook up to pc, only charger. I was just wondering if there was a way to remove the banner on the relocked one when I happened to stumble upon this thread. It showed great promise, then vanished abruptly. Thank you to the devs and users that are/were involved in this.

Hey Toolboy, has not been abandoned just waiting for someone else with this device to continue forward. The last information requested was never pulled. See below:

Hey Vincent. Scotty has been really busy lately but I heard from him this morning. I'm not sure about the s-off but I asked him about it in my reply.

Can I have you dump this one that you didn't do before?


Scotty says that it's possible that the hboot stores that information so what I want to do is compare.

While still unlocked, can you dump mmcblk0p22, and then relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock), and then dump mmcblk0p22 again?

This way I can compare them for differences (relocked vs. unlocked) and see if/where they are different.

Without s-off, I don't know that a flashable zip would be possible like we have on the 3d, but that's not to say there won't ever be s-off and that this is all for nothing. Still good learning experience either way!

back from the dead

ive been doing some poking around on devices with the same processor/partition layout and have found the flag...

if theres still an interest in this id like to see mmcblk0p7 and mmcblk0p17

id also like confirmation that the layout is:

[COLOR="Red"]cat /proc/emmc[/COLOR]
dev: size erasesize name
mmcblk0p17: 00040000 00000200 "misc"

mmcblk0p31: 007ffa00 00000200 "udata_wimax"

and a cat proc/partitions might be interesting as well.

thanks!

awsome! the flag is in either p7 or p17 if the trend follows the others ive looked at. if its in 17 then you guys should be able to change it without s off

someone who is either unlocked or relocked will need to dump those 2 partitions,upload and pm me a link.

i think vincentallen2 mentioned dumping everything on the 1st page,maybe someone could pm him and see if hes still got them floating around on his PC

edit:
whats the highest android version this device reached? can someone whose on the most recent software updates please list your kernel version?

oh wow... thanks for the info. i think theres a good chance that the one v rumrunner might work for you guys for s off,ill have to poke around a bit more and explore that posability
