This is for Windows ONLY at the moment.

Features:
Unlock bootloader
Relock bootloader
Backup data + selectable sections
Restore data + selectable sections
Optimize all OGG files on device
Zipalign all APK files on device
Batch install APKs from local PC folder
Reboot device
Reboot into recovery
Reboot into bootloader
Flash recovery

Changelog:
v2.00
* Updated the adb and fastboot binaries from v23.1
* Added zipalign binary for Windows. Now it doesn't rely on sdk tools
* Added /data/app APK optimization
* Fixed zipaligning for system APKs

Download: v2.00

Installation:
1: Extract the contents of the zip file somewhere
2: Double-click on JobBox.bat

NOTES:
To flash recovery, the recovery image must be in "/Data" as "recovery.img"

Optimizing OGG files is done by pulling all audio from the device, into the local computer
where the are optimized, and then pushed back to the device in their original location. HOWEVER,
be aware that optimizing an audio file too many times will break it, and cause serious loss of
audio quality. I have no way to test if the files were optimized already or not, so please keep
track of that yourself.

Optimizing APK files is done by pulling all APKs from the device, into the local computer
where they are optimized, and then pushed back to the device in their original location. There
is no verbose output (by choice), or progress animation. Believe me, its still working. Just
give it time.

Thanks for this - Kinda sitting on the fence, want to unlock and root badly... not sure if I should wait on Chainfire to figure out the Encryption thing. Thoughts ?

Ya, I don't worry too much about that either.

Mind answering a couple of questions. I haven't been on the Bleeding edge for quite some time, I kept my Note II for the last 3 years, same ROM and everything.

1) Do I need to install drivers before I start ?
2) I don't have a sim yet, waiting on Fi. I can't see any reason that would make any difference... but ?

Yes, you will need current drivers for your device. As for the SIM, it won't matter if you have in installed or not.

And once again Thank You. Have you seen the threads about the phones that fail to boot after unlocking the bootloader ?

Probably just a coincidence, but it's got me thinking I'll keep watching until there's a whole bunch of success stories, I am a "Big Chicken" when it comes to all this :eek:

Likely because they tried to flash something they shouldn't afterwards. I've only heard 2 reports of non-boot after unlocking. But it's not impossible to get back to a stable state

If you have feature suggestions to add to the script, let me know. I have to consider if I want said feature to be device specific, or univeral. I dont include actual builds of anything in the download, so that it stays small and more universal.

Just enabled Developer options, set USB Debugging on, connected to Win10 and Viola - it identified the device instantly, had go to the phone to set the USB mode to allow file transfers and I'm looking at internal storage in Explorer.

Checking out JobBox - I have the 6P connected to USB & The mode set to FileTransfer, I can see Internal Storage in Explorer, but ADB doesn't find or recognise the device. Do I need to have the phone in the Bootloader first ?

I just used the ADB Devices command and get nothing. Drivers ?
