Try typing "blobpack" or "blobpack --help" one of them will show you the syntax.

Usage: blobpack <headerfile> <outfile> <partitionname> <partitionfile> ...

i don't know what is header, and partition file of this +__?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Follow the capital letters- blob.HEADER is the header file. blob.SOS is the SOS partition ,etc.

Experiment a little, you won't break your ubuntu box if you pack up the wrong blob. You can unpack it to see if it worked. There are also instructions on raymans blob where you got the link for the tools.

The header has to be correct, so essentially you have to pack up the same number of parts if you re-use the header. Unpack a few blobs and see what is different with them. They don't always have the parts. Some have EBTs, some have SOSs, some have peaches and candy.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brk:
did you already check the universal root script for linux? There you can find the tools to mod blob.SOS (RAM disk for CWM) and blob.LNX (insecure flag change).

But this is the easy part. To be able to flash a modded update file you need to know the encryptation key from ASUS, or find a bug in android that you can exploit to flash the modded update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
only need to repack all, and thats the stuff i dont know lmao
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Looks like you don't really get why the B70's and B80's are unrootable - you CAN'T FLASH WHAT YOU REPACK! Even if you stubbornly create a simply rooted blob, you can't make it flash. It was explained many times why, but now I'll write it to you again:

The staging partition can not be written without root permissions. The only case you get root is when you're in recovery - but then you're bound to run the very script in the update zip. And if the recovery is stock, the only accepted package is the official ASUS one.

No, you can't make a zip what would resemble the official ZIP. It's signed with a special key, what we don't have, so basically, a modified zip won't flash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
i know that it needs a special signed, and thats what im trying to see if we can get, it must bee in some verification file, but idk witch one that is "yet"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
You still don't get it. The RSA-SHA1 encryption and checksum the recovery is using is a two-key encryption system:

- There's a private key, used to sign the content. This one MUST NOT BE shared with anyone else

- And there's a public key, what can be found inside the zip to verify the data. This key is merely to check if the signature matches. It is not possible to create a new signature (hash value) for a new file with this key. For this, we would need the private key, what is, from the name, PRIVATE. Means, noone outside of Asus has it.

And FYI, just to reverse it would take hundreds of years.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
dude if we find the RSA-SHA1 (it doesn't dissapear just because its unzipped,)

also if it doesnt being upgrade albe then somewhere in blob.app or any other folder changed, theres the verification, u got it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
You can't find RSA-SHA1, it's the method. You can find the public key (it's under META-INF directly, not under META-INF/android or any subfolder ;) ), but it can only CHECK if the signature is matching! Got it? IT CAN NOT MAKE A NEW PACKAGE.

The verification is in the recovery part (SOS partition), but it won't get flashed until the new package is verified.

Let me explain:

Recovery boots up. Finds the package. Opens it. If certificate (RSA-SHA1 public key) matches the one in the recovery, then it is through check#1. Then comes the file check. The recovery checks if the file checksums are correct to the public key - but only checking is possible with it. If ANY checksum's not matching, flashing is aborted.

Also, about signing, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA

It's a bit of a high level encryption, but you'll get the basics I think. Then you'll see why it is impossible to get around this checking, and such, why is it impossible to root via this method on these releases.

In the old times, with the veeeeery old recovery (first release), it was possible to flash an unsigned zip file, thanks to the fail in the recovery (Asus, well, fcked it up a bit). But it was fixed in the next release, and the hole was plugged.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
what hapens if you repack a file you not change anything in it then?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
If you won't change anything, then there's no mean to repack it. But it *should* work if Asus didn't do anything to the zipping part of it. If EVERYTHING is unchanged inside, then it will work. But that has no mean at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
i see that we can maybe fix it to be flashable tough its really hard and takes alot of time, and that time is hard for me to get, as im studying japanese :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
HEY, stop complaning, this is someone who lays time and love behind this stuff, now go get mod and ask em to clean the thing u just wrote, NOW!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Look, all of this what you've been trying to do has been done, resulting in a fail. RaYmAn and his team got the new SBK, trying to figure out a secure way of flashing (SBKv2 needs a new nvflash version), all of you guys just make it harder by needing to explain everything over and over again. I've been through myself three times of this bull****, and I'm not even so active here!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevyrida:
cmon man

Look im no dev. and i really dont have a whole lot to offer tech spec wise, but i do appreciate someone taking time to TRY to help us all out no matter how big of a long shot this may all be.:rolleyes:...... I need this root to work im going crazy over here:eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Then go to androidroot.mobi and take a look where real dev spend their time (atleast, that fragment what isn't spent on trying to crack the new SBK + nvflash).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevyrida:
ive been over there there isnt any new dev going on really, at least they havent posted anything in a while. Im in support of all devs trying to make this work for us. i just dont want any of them to be discouraged by sly remarks thats all. I also looked over in tabletroms.com they got good people over there too!! God speed to all our dev people
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
their latest update is old, and nothing new since last, and they found nothing, if anyone know an asus supporter/dev, ask him for it, thast the easiest way

I can see u have Transformer rooted etc. u don't even know how i feel without root on my B80. So shout the f--- up and stop disrupt this thread. if u are so obsessed with RaYmAn and company go ask for a date, and leave us trying to hope one day we'll see solution for this problem. u should commend this guy to even interesting in it... if u can not help please DO NOT DISTURB

My thoughts exactly sir. Im not trying to be rude nor am I trying to be Doctor Phill. All Im saying is dont piss on those who are trying to help regardless of how left field thier ideas maybe. Im done for now until are man/woman? here brings us christmas early!!!:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
He has been trying to patiently explain why this will not work and how its already been done. All this fool who made the thread wants is people to push the "Donate to me" button and continue to feed his ego. RaYmAn and company have the new sbk key already. What they don't have is the new nvflash to do anything with it. They know someone is the asus chain and thats how they got the key in the first place. They can't release it because it would indicate how they got it and screw their inside man. Their isn't enough time in your life to break the encryption without the key. Having the key still doesn't get you there or it would already be done.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevyrida:
Thank you for the updated info sir. Now waiting for me can be more tolerable knowing that there is progress being made on our device. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiterlix:
MODs please help this thread out of its misery and close it because this is clearly going nowhere. There's no sense in providing false hopes to people wanting to root their device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnufabio:
I'm wondering why this post exists: it's pointless, and if it were so simple to root the B80 TFs, we would have already done it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
the donate to me doesnt work, i cant even get any donations, no card regged,
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
It's funny to see that after I post a lot of information why SWEATTAIMI's idea was stillborn, and none of you get it, then I try to explain on the stupid-level, you all go berserk on me... Yes, send to the f*ck who knows what's he talking about, and such.

I'm not obsessed with RaYmAn, I've been discussing this locked B70/B80 topic with him on IRC way before I got my TF, and still since that time (when I get a new idea). I love the enthusiasm all you show to break it up, but sadly, it's not enough, you need knowledge with it too. So I really suggest all of you to take a deep breath, and dive into the world of bootloaders, flashing methods, device lockings, etc., and learn what you can about the TF. You'll see that this little ***** you're holding in your hands is possibly the most locked down device (no currently known root exploit, no way to fastboot, no way to flash modified zip in recovery, no way to get temporary root shell access, or anything like that).

If we could get temp root shell access, it would be possible what you guys all want to do - flash a modified blob, only with the modified kernel+ramdisk, and work's done, you can easily root from there. No nvflash of course, but atleast root could be achieved. Unfortunately I haven't found any way to get access to a root shell anywhere on the device, but I'm still trying (unrooted, unexploited clean Asus system, so basically the same setup you got except I'm able to nvflash).

And don't be an idiot, I exactly know how you feel - I had my hands on devices without root for months, and I couldn't do anything about it, anything I tried failed. Although it was an old Nokia phone (6650d with the new 3.14 firmware, that could not be hacked any way sadly), and my only option to install my needed apps was to downgrade for 10$, I was desperate to find a way. So, I know it, maybe even more than you know...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
let me know, do you running an B70 or older ???
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
I'm on a B70, rootable. But, if you restore to stock, there's no other way of rooting than flashing with nvflash ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
hm i see, and there's no way we can find the "flashable digits" in the stock rom,?

in that case if we find it we may "Crack" the modified verision???
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
I don't know what are you talking about when you mention those "flashable digits" so I can't really tell. And no, there's no way to crack the modified version.

NVFlash here works as a locked down fastboot, except you can unlock it with the matching key.

So basically, every data transfer through nvflash is encrypted. If the data can be restored with the internal key (so internal, burnt SBK key matches with the command prompt one), then the flash occurs, otherwise it quits with the famous 0x4 error. Plus, as many told, Asus changed the nvflash bits too - so it can not be flashed with the old nvflash executable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWEATTAIMI:
so if we want to flash a stock firmware, we need to have newer nvflash, and to get the encrypted code there's need to be an encrypt app that gets all encrypted data, :cool:

however that's far away than my knowledge reaches rofl
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Nope!

NVFlash checks the SBK in a way it can not be retrieved - it sends the input SBK to the burnt SBK chip, and it returns a true-false value, not the burnt SBK. So there's no encrypt app, no encrypted code, just the SBK key, if it matches (checked by a chip unreachable through nvflash, usb, etc), then flashing can go on.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Just want to know if the Desire HD has problems accessing the microSd card (especially if it's a class 6) when connected to a PC in 'Hard Drive' mode

Let me explain...

Firstly - I have a rooted phone with Android Revolution HD (v5.2.3)

I had the original 8Gb Class 2 card that came with the phone, which I swapped with a Kingston 8Gb class 4... had no problems with it.

I could connect up the phone to my PC (Windows XP + SP3) as 'Disk Drive' & copy files back & forth between them with no problems - no matter how large they are or what type

The 8Gb got a 'little full' recently (I filled it with APK Backups,Music ,ebooks & 'comics' etc), so brought a Samsung 16Gb Class 6 from Amazon

I connected up to phone as 'Disk Drive' & copied over the contents of the phone DIRECTLY to the 16Gb (which was in a Card reader) with no problems.. then put the 16Gb into the phone (after unmounting etc safely) & all apps etc work fine.

NOW - If I connect the phone up as 'Disk Drive' to the PC, although I can copy

OFF

the 16Gb to the PC with no problems,

If I try copying file

ONTO

the 16Gb (regardless of size/type)... I MAY be lucky enough getting 2-5 files across before XP 'loses' the drive & asks 'Please insert a disk into drive...'

Now I'm pretty sure it's not XP the problem - I can put the 16Gb into a card reader & files copy over with no problems (I've plugged the card reader into motherboard USB, front panel USB and even through a USB Hub)... it only seems to happen if I access the card through the Phone.

Is this because -

it's a Class 6 card...

A problem with the Phone design...

Due to ARHD Rom (if so would updating to the latest version fix this ??),

or is there a way to prevent XP from losing connection ??
​

Many thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaleavi:
I think its a bug in that rom. It does not have anything to do with sd card, if you can, update it or just try any other rom and i am sure it will work.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
I may just try that in the future - just don't want to install a new ROM (It'll have to be latest ARHD anyway, as I have a full HTC Navigation licence) & then have to reinstall everything (yet again)

However I can currently get around this little 'problem' by using 'File expert' app & using FTP over my WiFi, as that seems to work OK,... a lot easier than having to remove the SD card each time

But thanks for the suggestion anyway

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable or freeze the stock lockscreen? Ive used other lockscreens like lockbot and magic locker and for sone reason the stock one still pops up so I end up unlocking two screens. Gets annoying. My phones stock nonrooted.thanks in advance.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
You can use widgetsoid and create a widget to disable it. Or, if you have Power control Plus you can use their widget too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Thanks a lot. Ill give those a try and post back.

Also you can freeze via Titanium Backup one app - Sprint_OMADM.apk, of course if you are not Sprint user.

Im using no lock to disable stock lockscreen and am using go launcher/go locker with sense slider for my lockscreen. Works flawlessly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] devilsshadow:
Use widget locker. It's not free but it sure as hell is worth the admission fee. It gives you the option to completely replace the stock lockscreen plus it has loads of other useful features (integration with teslaLED)

Hi all,

Ive got a htc trophy running official Mango (7720).

But i'd really like to sideloade xapps etc.

So can I downgrade the mango back to nodo or something else so I can put a custom mango rom on it??

Can someone guide me how I downgrade my trophy??

Thanks!

EDIT: can I just flash this RUU safely without getting it bricked?

You have to downgrade your spl first then you can go back to nodo

[General Questions and Answers] sam.z:
Hello,

1. Do you know another script tool like "GScript Lite" or "Script manager". Those 2 tools cant execute a simple bash command "cp". I get the error message: "permission denied" for the line using this copy command (cp).

Should my Android cellphone be rooted? It is not mentioned in the description of those 2 tools.

2. What is the bash command list accepted by "GScript Lite" (and "Script manager") for non-rooted phone?

Maybe there is another scripting app enable to do what this:

I would write a simple script backing up some apps setting files to a folder in my microSD card. Then zip this folder, and put in my FTP server.

Thanks and regards.

[Defy General] Untraumatized:
somehow my Defy got stuck in bootloader mode, was working PERFECT, have had no problems with CM7 (except occasion wifi failure when using market or the stock internet app)

and i flashed CM7 to my HTC Hero, which i had some trouble with but got it to work (adb shell was acting weird, but worked sorta, had to use ROM manager tho)

but anyways, after that a little while later, i had plugged in (maybe during i dont even remember honestly, i dont think i had it plugged in while i was acctually using it tho) my defy, because it was dead, and now its stuck in bootloader mode, ive tried taking out the battery (and sd card) but nothing is working, cant boot, or boot into clockwork... i dont get wtf is going on, i figure the adb commands tried to run rage against the cage on my defy, maybe, i dont know, but now im stuck in bootloader mode
[Defy General] Luthium:
Ok let me get this straight....you remove the battery, the phone goes off, you put the battery and it boots directly on bootloader?

have you tried to flash a froyo SBF with RSD lite? it seems to me the only way then you can install 2init again and access the recovery to restore a nandroid bkp or install cm7 again
[Defy General] Untraumatized:
yes exactly when i put in the battery, it boots into bootloader

but now its working fine O.o

believe it or not, i let it FULLY charge (accidentally fell asleep) in my friends broken defy, and then swapped the batteries this morning, and it just started up completely normal O.o

was the fastboot mode thing simply because the battery was dead and i was using the PC to charge it? i dont get it... because i unplugged it and plugged it into a wall and it still stayed in fastboot... but anyways

PROBLEM SOLVED!

if anybody else has a motorola defy that will NOT BOOT AT ALL or BOOTS INTO FASTBOOT AUTOMATICALLY, try charging the battery in another phone or external charger and then try it in your phone, not sure what caused it but im sure glad to get it working again!!

THANKS FOR THE HELP!
