Unlock A2109's Bootloader​... on a Mac???

Hi y'all...
If any of you guys have visited the other specific forums, y'all might recognize my dilemma. Because those forums were specialized, I thought I would reach out to a bigger scope of users/devs to see if anyone could really help.
I'm a semi-experienced rooter/ROM'r and have been around quite some time on XDA. However, it appears that  no one there nor on AndroidTablets.net has a solution for unlocking a bootloader on a Mac. I do understand that I can use most Linux commands via my Mac's Terminal. So... does anyone know of instructions for unlocking the bootlloader for the A2109 for Mac or even Linux? 
Please... oh please.

Somebody just wrote instructions for Ubuntu.

  • Files transferred from external hard drive (backed up from pc) are locked. Can't unlock & can't delete them from Mac now.

    I just picked up a new Mac and have been trying to transfer files backed up to an external hard drive from a PC. I was able to transfer some of the files without issue, but most of the files show that they are locked. Now that they are on the Mac I can't unlock or delete them.

  • Can't unlock 2 of 4 disks on Mac Pro

    Hello,
    It is my first posting
    On a Mac Pro
    I have 2 hard disks (they are not startup disk) that are locked and I can't unlock them. I notice that when I try to trash 2 files, They stay on the disk. I get info on the file I unlock the files still I can't trash them, I got the sound of the trash. After that I discover the disks were lock, so I got info and I notice at the bottom of general I have : box Shared folder, but I don't have : box lock, I think I saw the box lock before.
    On sharing and permission I have you can read only>
    I have 3 names
    System read and write
    Admin read and write
    Everyone read and write
    With the lock open I can't even change everyone for read only
    Also on both disk I have under the buttons and the lock
    Box ignore ownership on this volume , I don't have that on my startup disk info
    thks for any help
    Mitsou

    Hello again,
    I solve my problem : saved the content of disks then erase them, they are unlock now.
    But still I don't understand how that happens, and what to do in the future if that happens again.
    So if someone find it out I will appreciate to know.
    Thanks.
    Bye

  • A2109 Kernel/Bootloader Lock?

    Guten Tag,
    ist der Bootloader des Gerätes gesperrt?
    Trotzdem, dass ich "fastboot oem unlock" lässt sich kein anderer booten.
    zb: "fastboot boot boot.img".
    Die boot.img-Datei enthält den Kernel erstellt auf Basis von den angebotenen Kernelquellen und der unter /proc/config.gz enthaltenen Konfiguration zusammen mit dem Original-Inhalt der Boot-Partition.
    Wenn ich meine zImage aber heraus nehme und gegen die Originale austausche bootet das Gerät.
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
    Andreas

    Oh, Englisch, sorry..
    Hello,
    is the bootloader of the device locked?
    Despite the fact that I "fastboot oem unlock" can boot there is no other.
    eg: "fastboot boot boot.img".
    The boot.img file contains the compiled kernel, based of the offered kernel sources and the configuration-file contained in /proc/config.gz together with the original content of the boot partition.
    If I put the original zImage into this image and remove mine the device boots.
    Sincerely,
    Andreas

  • Unlocking Original iPhone Without Connecting To MAC or  PC

    Can the original iPhone be unlocked without connecting to a MAC or PC?

    This is a duplicate post. See my answer in your first post.

  • ZTE Open C, brand new, following instructions bootloader will not unlock; have rooted terminal

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1014768 /questions/1014768]''
    I bought the device for developing purposes and just got it today. I am a US user by the way.
    I followed the directions that are listed here for how to root the device and unlock the bootloader, however, the directions do not work.
    I now have a rooted terminal using adb shell, however, when i reboot to the bootloader and run fastboot devices I get nothing, and no other fastboot command works.
    This is absolutely ridiculous. I bought the phone from the ebay site just this week using the link here on Mozilla. I've even synced and built B2G for the device. But I can't unlock my bootloader? Defeats the purpose of "open" and makes me regret my purchase.
    I would appreciate some prompt help in this matter.

    I fixed this on my own.
    And for you information that is the exact tool that I used.
    And I'm not a novice; I know what a root shell is and I wouldn't have said that I have root if I didn't.
    Maybe read the post before assuming you know more than the poster...
    Anyway...
    i just built cwm for the device and using the rooted shell dd'd the factory recovery image and dd'd the new one.
    then i installed the ZTE Kis 3 firmware with the new recovery
    then i rebooted to the bootloader and did "sudo fastboot oem unlock" and the bootloader was unlocked.
    this did not working following the aforementioned guide using only the upgrade tool otherwise i wouldn't have posted.

  • Return stock bootloader to ZTE Open C

    Recently, I followed a guide on how to install android 4.4 on a zte open c, mostly to see how it was:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axOYIfo7y2s
    After quickly getting bored and wanting to return to Firefox OS, I installed the 'droid to FFOS package, but it appears that I'm still stuck with the custom bootloader that android needed to install?
    How might I get rid of this? I've tried running `sudo fastboot boot boot.img`, it worked for that boot but not for when I rebooted it; I'm presuming this is because it doesn't over-write the existing boot image?
    Thanks in advance,
    Johnny

  • Mac Pro with Second HD for Win and Mac

    Hello Everyone,
    I just purchased a new Mac Pro 3.2 Ghz. I have two 500 GB HDs. One is partitioned for Mac OS X and Windows Vista 64. The second HD I want to use as storage for both Mac OS X and Windows and be able to share files. Everyone I talked to says I should format to FAT 32, but there are file size limitations with that format. Is there any way to get the second HD to NTFS format and so that Mac OS X and Windows can read and write to it. Also it would be great if there is a way to unlock my Windows partition on the Mac side so I can write to it. Also are there any good solutions for backing up files using an external RAID with large file formats such as a 1TB or more. If there is anyone who has a similar set up I would welcome any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    jh3d

    I bought Paragon-Software NTFS 6.5 driver to write to NTFS from OS X.
    http://www.paragon-software.com/
    You can use the convert command in Vista, or just delete the FAT partition and create NTFS.

  • Linksys WAP300N Change MAC address, console and etc

    Linksys WAP300N is very very suxx.
    Not simultaneous work of 2,4 and 5 Ghz, very buggy firmware and not reasonable price.
    I have 3 psc of this...
    About topic:
    Linksys WAP300N #1 updated to v1.0.03 - 5 Ghz stops working normally. Clients disconnect on heavy load.
    I want roll back to v1.0.00 but on official site no 1.0.00 firmware.
    OK. I am dump flash ic from normal, working WAP300N #2 with v1.0.00 and
    flash this dump to broken WAP300N #1 - 1.0.03. All is ok - AP is working, but MAC address from #2.
    I want access to bootloader for change MAC. I connect RS232toTTL cable to AP board serial port, but seems no normal
    serial it has. FFFFF.
    What can I do? If who has v1.0.00 firmware - please upload somewhere.
    p.s. Advise - if you buy this - do not update to v1.0.03. If not buy - DONT BUY!

    I don't have v1.0.00 firmware but I'd rather you properly isolate this by checking if you have experienced this to your other wireless devices. Because if the same scenario happened to all of your wireless devices connected to 5GHz, then it's best to change the 5 GHz network wireless channel. Preferred channels are 36, 40, 44 and 48 which are recommended to less likely suffer interference.  Also, make sure to take note each of the device's MAC address if you're trying to setup wireless MAC filter and do it manually. I normally use this link when I'm setting up wireless MAC filtering.
