Backup/restore bootloader/PDS & change bootloader

How to Backup/restore bootloader/PDS & downgrade bootloader

Hello everybody! I have tested this with my 08.A0 V360. I can successfully backup and restore bootloader and PDS, and I think it is possible to downgrade bootloader from 09.02/08.D0/08.A2 to 08.A0 for V360 & L7.

Update: Mike has successfully downgraded bootloader of his L7 from 08.D0 to 08.A0. Now we can also backup & restore PDS for L7 (R4513).

10 steps to unlock v360

TEN steps to unlock your v360 PHONE (and maybe others) Lord Dizzy's Easy Method

(This is another V360 unlocking guide. All credits to Lord Dizzy.)

Steps:
1. Make sure you have Yuet v2.2.1 MP in your mobile / Drivers for your OS already installed;
2. Open P2K Easy Tool, chose "your phone" as your phone model then click on "Flash SHX" checkmark;
3. Select and Flash the "R4513_G_08.B7.DAR_RB_Lang0031_reflash_MOTOX.shx" file (Do Selected Jobs)
4. Now the phone is in "S Blank Neptune LTE2" mode.
5. Go to "Repair TAB" and check Full repair PDS zone and "Do Selected Jobs"
6. For the moment, I don't know if that is just enough to unlock your phone. So, just to be sure:
6.1. Go to "Locks TAB", check "Unlock SP" and then "Do Selected Jobs"
6.2. Now do again the STEP 5, or else your phone will start for a short time with MOTO logo and then shut itself off.
7. Open Flash Backup, select correctly the "Active phone profile" for your phone, and go to "Write data TAB"
8. "Select flash file", and open Yuet v2.2.1
9. Unselect CG1, CG2, CG15 and click "Write data". This only takes few seconds to write back!
10. Your phone is NOW fully unlocked and fully functional with Yuet's MP v2.2.1

Notes (tips & tricks):
1. FULLY CHARGE your BATTERY first. My battery was still full after doing this, but it's better to be sure...
2. Once in "S Blank Neptune LTE2", the phone can be unlocked/rapair PDS without the battery. Its self USB powered!
3. When connecting your phone, always have RSD Lite running and then close it. It will give an "HAB 0x84" error, but that will switch the BL from 0000 to 0300. It is important to be 0300 for P2K Easy Tool to work correctly.
4. After each operation with P2K Easy Tool, you will need to restart the program and reconnect the USB cable, as the P2K Easy Tool shuts off the phone, and you'll need it to be redetected by RSD Lite as "S Blank Neptune LTE2" BL 0300.
5. At STEP 7 you don't need to have RSD Lite running; Flash Backup is smart enough...
6. You may reflash with other Language Packages, but I have not tested.
7. Programs needed: P2K Easy Tool v3.9; Flash Backup v3.0.2; "R4513_G_08.B7.DAR_RB_Lang0031_reflash_MOTOX.shx" file
8. All programs measures ~3.25MB, and if you know what to do this method unlocks your phone in 5 minutes, as there is no large file sent to the mobile.
9. At least, this file contains CG4 and CG7. I think that CG7 is ALL responsible for this, as I see same CG7 in Yuet's unlocking method.

That's all. Good luck everyone!

(If this method doesn't work for your phone, you can try the other methods.)

I am only sure it will work for V360 with 08.A0 bootloader. I don't have phones to test other bootloaders such as 08.D0 or 09.02, and I am not sure if it works for L7, so don't come and flame me if it doesn't work on your phone model. Please take responsibility for your own decision.

2. Open RSD Lite, switch your phone to bootloader mode and connect it to computer via USB;

3. Open the flash file with the RSD Lite and click 'Start' button;

4. Wait for the flashing process to complete, then the phone will try to restart but it won't turn on as expected;

5. Unplug & plug the usb cable from the computer; Your phone should be detected as "S blank neptune LTE2" by RSD Lite; Pretty simple, isn't it?

6. Do part 2 or part 3 of this guide, depends on whether you want to remove sticky firmwares or unlock your phone.
