Relocking Bootloader

How can I know the method used to unlock my device was manufacturer supported fastboot command or device specific hack?

For my case Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed in a Computer was used to unlock the Bootloader of my device then TWRP recovery was used to flash the device - Huawei Y6II, since then whenever I restart or power on my device I get this annoying message "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted."
Bahahahahahah!! Oh my gosh, lmmfao. I'm sorry and do apologize for finding humor in that (just woke up) but that's standard warnings imbued by the mfgrs to keep you from doing anything to it. That's it. No worries tho. Even Motorola devices do that after unlocking, it's just to scare you. What some ppl are doing is installing different " bootlogos" that hide those msgs on startup. Really, no worries..

Root Help with my s8 active

One reason I want to root the device is to get rid of some of the junk apps that you cant uninstall without root access. But the main reason is to network unlock it. Mine is locked on the at&t network but I want to be able to use it on whatever network I want. Do you know of any software for PC that i can use for network unlocking without rooting i dont have the money to pay for a third party to do it of it is possible to do it myself. But I cant find anything about doing it without a outside source.
you do not need to root to unlock the phone from a carrier. i have no idea on software to do that......sorry.

also there is really no development for your phone so rooting for me is moot. you want a custom rom that has all the bloat out, but the only rom out there for the s8 active is the one i linked you to.

Usb Drivers for Mac

OK, so I tried it with another device this morning and it works fine. So, the problem must be with the device I am trying to connect (Samsung Tab A 10.1) and it doesn't like usb to USB c cables. One thought that crosses my mind (if it can be called a mind) is that it might be possible wirelessly with something like AirDroid.

Nullifying an action in ADB

Do you know there's a setting in the Developer Options to do this - 'Force activities to be resizable'

Alternatively you can try using a value of 0 on your ADB command, that should revert the behaviour back to default state.

Yes, I know this fact. I had in fact disabled D.O. and deactivated that setting. However the icons persist. Do you have any idea of the reason for all this? Perhaps does the above command, given after having used (i.e. activated) the setting in D.O., force to maintain the freeform support enabled? Now I'm going to try your hint. Many thanks.

Edit: it works good with value 0.
many many thanks

I buy used phones often. The problem is i asked sprint to check the imei, through their live chat, and was told it was fine. Later after buying the phone and checking again, they tell me its locked to an account. I have tried calling to have it unlocked but was told it is not possible. Thanks for the feedback
well that sucks.....sorry to hear that. never used their live chat before.

How do I become NOT a "Lurker" ?

LG3? LG G3?

Yes. My initials are LGIII . Coincidence ? I used to have LG 3 as my license plate and would always get asked if I was an LG rep. Ok, get this..... My rate in the Navy was Boiler Tech. If I used my initials AND my rates initials as my plate, it would totally take on a new meaning today. LGBT .... Um.....''not that there's anything wrong with that.''

Apps Hello Everyone

Holo Deck you say? Hey I could get on board with that. Make it so! ;)

Seriously though, if you do have some original ideas for new games, then more power to you. The mainstream games industry appears (to me anyway) to be running out of creativeness and innovation.
Or maybe it's just that nobody wants to take a risk these days. After all, most of the AAA titles cost millions to develop.

I don't play much games, but I see so many of the android games are just ripoffs of Bejewled and others from that era a few years back. I think truly new game ideas would have a decent chance to get some traction.

Virgin mobile to straight talk number port please help

Porting over a phone number from one carrier to another carrier has to be done on their end so there isn't a lot you can do on your phone or even logging into your accounts using a web interface. Have you tried contacting someone at Straight Talk to check on the changeover status? Are you sure your account with your previous carrier is paid up and there isn't anything like an early termination fee or number porting fee involved?

You can order almost anything online or through an app and a "massage" is one of them...

I typed "order massage" in google and that came up immediately. ;)


Oh sorry GT. I didn't click on your link. Still not surprised there is already one out there though.
