Root check the bootloader??

flashiy a perfect rebuild of the stock boot.img or the recovery not being singed will not boot at all or throw a security error...
 
Can someone use the windows pc and make sure your phone is in debugging mode and plug your phone in usb and in the command window type
fastboot oem unlock
They say this could unlock the bootloader..or have i been misinformed
 
the phone will have to be in fastboot mode to get here u will have fo delete the boot.img or do : reboot bootloader and if u guys have a interactive bootloader then it will give an option to switch into fastboot...
 
all that does is a normal reboot. which makes me think it's a dummy.

the tree says. bootloader, bak_bootloader, and xloader.
 
My device no longer works. But I did notice that the phone installs a driver when charging the battery. It comes up as vid_0451&pid_cafe, which is Texas Instrument's Bootloader Interface. Problem is it says it's a disk.

Oh yeah the processor is OMAP 3630.
 
wait it doesnt work? after the boot was deleted? try random button combinations and see if fastboot is accessible?

Doesn't at all. The damn thing has S-on and the fastboot is inaccessable. The "Enter via USB" screen is part of the bootloader. It has a Blank Flash feature that's hidden and the drivers don't install every thing, well at least for me.

A few VID 0451 were in the list one being Blank Flash for Texas Instrument. OMAP 3630 is a bitch! It'd work if the drivers were complete and not just consumer/app developer.
 
Also the battery charging screen comes up with the PID cafe which is the Bootloader flashing option on Texas Instrument's OMAP boards.
