AT300 - unlock of boot loader to get root access

Unpacking my new AT300, I was surprised to fin a locked boot-loader.
I've been using computers for 30 years and have been able to customize my system and software the way I've wanted to all that time. I don't understand why manufacturers think we all of a sudden want to give up that type of control and functionality just because the size and shape of the computing device has changed.
For my opinion the blocked boot-loader is a reason to stay away from this device,

Akuma, i didn't know that the Tegra 3 is software i thought it's a SoC. So how can hardware be code?
Anyway, check out Wikipedia which tablets contain the Tegra 3, there are a lot.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_3
And i checked quickly randomly the Nexus 7 and the ASUS Transformer pad, all of them are supported by Cyanogenmod and therefore have an unlocked bootloader. So, either Toshiba signs a silly contract with nVidia or you are not right.

  • Problems unlocking the boot loader of xperia z3

    Hello,
    i'm trying to unlock the boot loader of my xperia z3, i'm following the instructions on sony's site but i'm stuck: i connect the phone to the pc in fastboot mode (blue light on), then i open the command prompt window in the platform-tools folder of android sdk, but when i type fastboot devices nothing happens. If i try to enter my unlock code i get "waiting for device" forever. 
    Any help?

    I recommend that you check that you have installed the fastboot driver. You can download it from here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/
    And as uliwooly says, make sure that you have read the information on http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ and that you are aware of the risks.

  • My macbook pro has a virus/trojan that is resetting the EFI via apci and it is getting root access privileges. It seems to be creating multiple aliases that bundle with rogue apps and preferences so it is very difficult to control or fix. Please help..

    My macbook pro has a virus/trojan that is resetting the EFI via apci and it is getting root access privileges. It seems to be creating multiple aliases that bundle with rogue apps and preferences so it is very difficult to control or fix. Please help..It all stems from the "about donwloads" PDF which kicks off the restructuring of the OS..

    Well given the fact that it is not just myself who is infected and also that this is my 3rd macbook in 1 year because the other 2 efi's were compromised to the point where they were unusable, and also that I must've been to the mac store no less than 100 times in a year for these issues, I beg to differ. Here is what I can show you. This has been ongoing for over a year now.
    I will try and show you as much as I can.
    1) Here is what I see when I run mount from terminal:
    /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
    map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
    map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
    localhost:/4zOta2Q9FMiMnRjTROIbhU on /Volumes/MobileBackups (mtmfs, nosuid, read-only, nobrowse)
    Why on earth is /Volumes/MobildBackups my localhost is beyond me. I don't use iCloud and Mobile me is obsolete.
    2) Here is what I show when I run ls -al /*/*/*/*.efi from root
    -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  994464 May  1 00:33 /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
    -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  994464 Oct  2  2012 /usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  115716 Dec 13 14:08 /usr/standalone/i386/tmbootpicker.efi
    As far as I know my boot.efi should not change everytime I boot my machine.
    3) Here is something very interesting. When I run cd /dev followed by ls -al look what I have;

  • Unlock your boot loader????

    Hello, I would know when this mobile will unlocked boot loader because I need unlock it and root it. I need more free space
    I have the version with 8GB and it is a scam mobile.
    <2GB for the user with a lot of useless bloatware. The correct versions of this mobile would be 16GB/32GB. Please, know more in the final user and less in the money.Good mobile=more sales=more money.Bad mobile=less sales=less money=FAIL 

    You do not need to unlock your bootloader in order to root - If that is the reason for unlocking your bootloader
    For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.   Richard P. Feynman

  • MacBook pro will not boot. I get the gray screen, an apple icon and spinning wheel. Tried to start in safe mode but get the same screen. The only thing different was that I loaded the zedge sync app yesterday. Now getting this problem.

    Macbook pro will not boot. I get the gray screen, an apple icon and spinning wheel. I tried to start in safe mode, but get this same screen. The only thing different is that I added the zedge update app to do a sync for adding ringtones to my apple cell phone. How can I get a good boot. I am fairly new to apple computer.

    Reset PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405 and then try a normal boot.
    Run the Startup Manager to select Startup disk:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
    If those did not work your disk may be sick or dying.  The top priority at this point is to make a backup copy of your data.
    Check the health of the disk.  Boot in Recovery Mode (Boot, Command-R).  Run Disk Utility.  Click on the upper left disk icon.  Does the S.M.A.R.T. status say “Verified”?  If not the disk/SSD is unhealthy and needs to be replaced.  Even if it does not show “Verified” you can still attempt a backup. 
    Click on the icon indented below, usually called “Macintosh HD” and Verify Disk.  If it finishes with a green “OK” message then all is well with the disk.  If it shows errors in red then you have found a problem to address once the system is backed up.  Do not attempt software repairs until you have secured the data.
    If the disk will not show up at all in Disk Utility as your ran the tests above then it may be dead or it may have a bad internal SATA cable.  A trip to an Apple store for confirmation would be in order.
    If you have an external disk drive you can use as a backup drive then do so.  If not Google “Hitachi USB 3.0 external hard drive 1TB” to purchase one or go to a brick-and-mortar store (including an Apple store) to pickup one.  Any 1 TB external drive will do.
    Assuming it is still breathing you can try to recover the data without booting from the sick disk. 
    Reformat the external disk.  (This will erase all data on the external disk.)
    Boot in Recovery Mode.  Start Disk Utility.  Plug in the new disk.  Select it’s disk Icon (the second one down, left justified). Select the Partition tab.
    Partition Layout > Single Partition
    Name: Emergency Recovery 1 (or whatever name you wish to use)
    Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
    Options… > GUID Partition Table > OK
    Apply
    Select the Restore tab.
    Drag the old system volume (Macintosh HD) to Source.
    Drag the new disk volume (Emergency Recovery 1) to Destination.
    Click on Restore.
    It may take a long time for the backup.
    If that will not complete post back for other emergency data recovery methods, including those from a brody.
    If the backup succeeds, use the First Aid tab in Disk Utility to select the old volume (Macintosh HD) and Repair Disk.  If it does not finish with a green OK message try to repair it once or twice more.  If it repairs with a green OK message, will it boot normally?  If not, boot from the Recovery Partition and reinstall OS X.
    If it is still not healthy, post back for further instructions.

    # icon - specifies a custom boot loader icon
    # ostype - OS type code to determine boot options available by
    # pressing Insert. Valid values are "MacOS", "Linux",

    This is a clean install using April 01 ISO with minimal or no modifications. I have tried to follow wiki as precisely as possible. I am not sure what I am missing. Thanks.
    EDIT1: Updated and cleaned the post to better reflect current structure and added /etc/fstab.
    EDIT2: @swordfish Removed /boot/EFI/arch.

    I used March ISO instead of April ISO and it worked flawlessly. There is some problem with April ISO where efibootmgr and UEFI Shell1/2 fail with ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (status = device error).
    I have removed both /boot/EFI/boot and /boot/EFI/arch. I now have two entries one on vmlinuz-linux on 1024 Fat 32 partition which works and second one boot/vmlinuz-linux on 20G / partition which fails and takes me to rootfs.

    # are loaded. You can specify the volume by label or by
    # a number followed by a colon (as in "0:" for the first
    # filesystem or "1:" for the second).
    # loader - identifies the boot loader file
    # initrd - Specifies an initial RAM disk file
    # icon - specifies a custom boot loader icon
    # ostype - OS type code to determine boot options available by
    # pressing Insert. Valid values are "MacOS", "Linux",
    # "Windows", and "XOM". Case-sensitive.
    # graphics - set to "on" to enable graphics-mode boot (useful
    # mainly for MacOS) or "off" for text-mode boot.
    # Default is auto-detected from loader filename.
    # options - sets options to be passed to the boot loader; use
    # quotes if more than one option should be passed or
    # if any options use characters that might be changed
    # by rEFInd parsing procedures (=, /, #, or tab).
    # disabled - use alone or set to "yes" to disable this entry.
    # Note that you can use either DOS/Windows/EFI-style backslashes (\)
    # or Unix-style forward slashes (/) as directory separators. Either
    # way, all file references are on the ESP from which rEFInd was
    # launched.
    # Use of quotes around parameters causes them to be interpreted as
    # one keyword, and for parsing of special characters (spaces, =, /,

    # keyword. Use of quotes around parameters that specify filenames is
    # permissible, but you must then use backslashes instead of slashes,

    Thanks for suggesting to try older ISO.
    UPDATE:- Most recent ls -R /boot and my refind.conf. Reading over Rod Smith's rEFInd documentation has helped me clean up a little more and set up a good boot manager with automatic kernel detection and shell. I do want to get rid of drivers list that shows itself up along with kernel. Next is to tackle menu entry. Thanks.

  • Arch & Windows 8 Dual Boot -- Windows Boot Loader loads grub-rescue

    Arch works fine,but as it always happens Windows boot went down. Both OS are EFI.
    Note that boot secure and fast boot were disabled for Windows 8.
    I used os-prober, but did not fix anything; so, I removed it. I tried to hack things out using boot-repair from Ubuntu, but it requires a repository, grub-efi, from Ubuntu that Arch doesn't have.
    I am trying to modify files in grub.d and grub.cfg and hopefully fix something.
    Exact description:
    - archgrub loads and shows 3 entries. Two for Arch that load the sys succesfully and one for Windows 8 that fails.
    - When I try to execute Windows from grub, it brings me to a grub rescue>
      and shows error /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod not found
      As far as I am concerned this .mod is from Linux, so I don't know why it is being called into Windows loading procedures.
    lsblk returns:

    Hi,
    New to this forum, joined today in anticipation of trying an install of AL...For whatever this may be worth:
    I have an HP Pavillion desktop that came with Windows 8 (now 8.1), & has, of course, a UEFI boot system. I tried earlier to install Ubuntu Studio (which I currently run) on the same disk as Windows (/dev/sda), I made (I believe) a huge mistake in trying to install as LVM/ext4... wiped out my Windows install & made the UEFI unavailable... I had to do a complete re-install of Windows (fortunately, I did the recommended system backup, using 4 DVD's!) so then I tried a (non LVM) install on an external usb 3.0, with the Grub 2 on the external disk (great access time, & it worked fine...  IMO)...
    One other item: as I have been trying to find the right flavor of Linux for my main purposes, I have been trying various distros. & having to try to learn to negotiate the UEFI, secure/legacy procedures (still learning)... As I was unsure of installing rEFind... I did down load the .iso, burn it to a CD...
    http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html
    & in  legacy mode, found that simply putting it (rEFind CD into the CD/DVD player, which in the UEFI it is labeled something like HP/UEFI CD/DVD), & then launching it, rEFind worked for some other distros...that is, I was able to boot into my Linux distros, even bypassing Grub), as well as having the option of booting Windows. It may seem trivial that I say this (it maybe is), but I have not seen anywhere (I have scoured the internet rather well) this mentioned as a possibility (though it, of course, would not make such a good permanent solution, especially for computers like mine that have only one CD/DVD player).

  • OracleVM and paravirtualized guest - "Boot loader didn't return any data!"

    Hi folks,
    we're having a problem here: We have installed the latest version of Oracle VM Server on a machine that does not provide hardware virtualization support (i.e., no Intel VT or similar). As a result, we will not be able to make use of hardware virtualized VMs, but according to the Oracle docs, we should be able to set up virtual machines of the paravirtualized domain type. So far, so good.
    Also according to the docs, when setting up a PVM, one cannot use an ISO image located in a storage repository in order to start the installation, but instead one would have the mount the installation ISO somewhere, make available it's contents via NFS (or HTTP / FTP), and then set up the newly created virtual machine to attempt a PXE boot, specifying the location where the contents of the ISO have been placed (i.e.: nfs:host:/path/to/mounted/iso). All of this is decribed very well in the Oracle VM Server docs (chapter 8), but somehow it still doesn't seem to work for us.
    What happens is this: When we attempt to boot our PVM via PXE, specifying the NFS location where we've made the contents of the ISO available, we always get this:

    Greetings,
    Nils

    Hi Avi,
    thanks for your reply! Actually, I believe I checked the NFS reachability already. Here's what I can do on the VM server:
    [root@ORAVM1 ~]# ls /mnt/test
    [root@ORAVM1 ~]# mount.nfs 10.0.0.220:/mnt/iso /mnt/test
    [root@ORAVM1 ~]# ls /mnt/test
    EFI eula.py images media.repo README-en.html RELEASE-NOTES-x86_64-en RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en.html RPM-GPG-KEY Server

    eula.en_US HighAvailability LoadBalancer README-en RELEASE-NOTES-en.html RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en ResilientStorage ScalableFileSystem TRANS.TBL
    [root@ORAVM1 ~]#
    So, I seem to be able to mount the NFS export correctly (what we're seeing are the contents of an Oracle Enterprise Linux ISO). And when setting up the VM, I specify "nfs:10.0.0.220:/mnt/iso" as the PXE boot path. Still it doesn't seem to work. :-(
    ovs-agent.log doesn't seem to contain too many additinal information of value either. Here's a snippet of what seems to happen when I power up my VM, but I guess there's nothing really new in there:

  • [Solved]Boot from USB HDD - Root device doesn't exist. Major/minor

    My problem is that the kernel seems (or starts) to load, but then I get an error:
    Root device 'UUID=1234 . . .' doesn't exist.
    Attempting to create it.
    ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device "UUID=1234 . . .'
    You are being dropped into recovery shell
    I found a few links on the web and in the forums, but nothing that really solved it for me. The solved ones usually downgraded the kernel.  I haven't done that yet.  I thought I'd try here first.
    I have a 320GB USB HDD that I have been using to experiment with different linux distros.  I have a few working successfully (OpenSUSE,Mint,Ubuntu,Debian,Fedora,etc).  I'm very new at this but have been reading a lot and putting a lot of time into it.  I have legacy grub loaded on the MBR and use the menu.lst on my openSUSE partition to boot everything.  Because the partitions for some of the distros are so far into the disk I needed to create directories on openSUSE's /boot directory to contain the kernel and initrramfs files (like /boot/fedora).  This seems to work for the other distros.  I did the same thing for Arch.
    So when I installed Arch I haven't used the bootloader section of the installation.
    I'm using the 2011.08.09-netinstall-i686.iso Live CD.
    I tried a few things including:
    1.    changing the HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
        a.    adding usb to the "HOOKS"
        b.    removing and adding autodetect
        c.    adding and removing "sata_sil" (although I'm not even sure if my device uses it)
    2.    changing the kernel line:
        a.    from using "UUID=" to (hd0,1) to sdb1.
        b.    added rootdelay=8
    3.    repartition all of my arch partitions using cfdisk from my Live CD and reinstall. I used gparted on OpenSUSE to do it the first time.
    This may be connected. When I fdisk -l from the Arch Live CD I get extra data and an error for each of my arch partitions (and only my arch partitions):
    Disk does't contain a valid partition table
    When I fdisk -l from OpenSUSE I don't get the data paragraphs or errors about the arch partitions?
    Here is my /etc/fstab:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0

    I'm IN!  Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
    The arch system didn't like the identifier I was using for the root partition. By looking at the /dev/disk/by-id while the arch system was running, I could see what the system wanted me to call the partition.  So after the system error'd-out and I was in the recovery shell at the [ramfs /] prompt:
    # ls -lF /dev/disk/by-id > by-id.txt
    # vi by-id.txt
    I could have used any of the identifiers listed in the by-id (there were 3), by-uuid(1), by-label(1) or by path(1). I tried them all. I had to write these down by hand because it is a ram filesystem.
    The article that finally got me there is:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … ice_naming
    Anyway my openSUSE grub menu.lst ended up like this:
    ####arch on sda10 - legacy grub

  • Arch - Boot loader installation failed

    I was trying to install Arch from my USB drive...I had booted off the Live USB (non persistent) and gone thru the arch setup as "root".
    I followed all the steps ...When I come to the penultimate step - "Install Boot Loader",
    I am taken to a screen wherein I have to choose between GRUB or nothing
    I chose GRUB and it asks me to install in MBR or other partition
    Initially I gave root partition (/dev/sda7) ...I got the foll errors
    1.Bootloader installation failed
    2.Error mounting /dev/sda7
    3.Check /dev/tty7 for details..I am not able to access tty7 and I get error device does not exist
    I also tried installing in MBR but does not go thru
    Any pointers?

  • Error installing grub boot loader

    I am currently following the beginner guide for installing arch, and once I get to the place where I need to install a boot loader and use the command pacman -S grub-bios, I get a seemingly never ending output of "sh: /usr/bin/wget: no such file or directory" then it will change to "warning: failed to retrieve some files from core"(more like all files lol) etc as it goes through the repos. I've followed the guide to a tee, with the exception of the example partitioning on there. Anyone have any ideas on what could be going wrong?

    It seems like wget is missing on the install partition. This is after you have done arch-chroot right?
    I would try to do a
    # pacman -Syy wget
    to update the archive and install wget
    and then try grub-bios again
    edit:
    If you are still on the install media the command you want to use is
    # pacstrap /mnt grub-bios

  • Photoshop CS5 Exit Code 7 Unable to get root from inChildPath

    I downloaded the trial version 32 bit and 64 bit, to my desktop (Core I7 3.2 GHZ, 12Gb ram, Win XP Pro 64) and when installing, it doesn't get past 0%, just spits out this:
    0 fatal errors, 1 error, 0 warning
    Error: Unable to get root from inChildPath
    Exit Code:7 Unable to complete silent workflow
    I wanted to see if the install files were bad, some I copied to my craptop, which runs Vista 32 bit, and it works fine. Any word yet on what causes this error? Going to check and see if I missed any updates while I wait to see if anyone's had this issue.

    Using your links, I can find Adobe's listing for error code 7, but all it tells me is that exit code 7 does not define my problem, but the lines that follow exit code 7 do. Which is the "unable to get root from inChildPath" bit. I might have missed something in your post, but when I poke around the links in the document, and in Adobe's troubleshooting search feature, I can't find anything about the terms "root from inChildPath".
    Here's a recap of everything I tried yesterday, note that each error is exactly the same:
    At the day's beginning, I had Adobe Master Suite CS4 installed, including PS CS4.
    Without un-installing, I attempted to install Photoshop CS5 Trial > Got the error
    Copied PS CS5 files to laptop, which also has Master Suite CS4 > Installed fine
    Uninstalled Photoshop from Master Suite, then installed PS CS5 > Got the error
    Tried to install only 64 bit > Got error
    Did "Run As", signed in as admin > Got error
    Booted into Safe Mode to install to see if a background process was conflicting > Got error
    Reinstalled Master Suite for 6 hours and quit trying...
