[General Questions and Answers] utubo_sk8:
ok, i need some help.

goroh_kun published a exploit called diaggetroot, i dont even know if it works but it did work on new xperia series, so it should be worth trying.

the exploit needs uevent_helper_address and delayed_rsp_id_address, which should be in the kernel.

i am trying to disassemble kernel but no clue, not working.

can someone disassemble it?

i think i successfully split kernel image but im not sure so ill also upload hidden.img.

http://www.mediafire.com/?0rtgy5cwnja6dfr - hidden.img

http://www.mediafire.com/?psf2b7jr44xv14w - kernel image?

i could get linux version with split kernel image though.

Linux version 2.6.39.4 (release@build01) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 20:08:16 JST 2012

Did u try root it with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39498268

Cause this works on 2.55 new firmwares, while root many droid havent support 2.55 yet (even v23)
[General Questions and Answers] utubo_sk8:
this one looks like using the same method as root many android for walkman, it just brings up the restore.
[General Questions and Answers] zhuhang:
no no no no no no no .

Did u even tried?

This uses diaggetroot, not backup restore method.

I used it to root my XS 2.55 (no reboot throughout the rooting process, just around 10 seconds and rooting done.)
[General Questions and Answers] utubo_sk8:
yep, ofc i tried it, and it shows up recovery dialog.

diaggetroot needs address, i guess that ERoot Unlockroot, SRSRoot and such, have predefined address to specific phones.

and walkman isnt supported.

---------- Post added at 03:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 AM ----------

it doesn't work,I tried several times:(

this picture means that your device isn't supported.

what's the version of your walkman?

a lot of my friends succeed,

our tool is 4.1.0.0,walkman version is the last one,v1.11

the link of Chinese walkmaner's experience.

http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2480266659?pn=1

try again,good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] utubo_sk8:
is the ADB working? you can push the files with adb, remount system as rw and push the files you deleted.

EDIT: you can extract the zip file from the updater. so you can get the file from there.

hm, not working still.
[General Questions and Answers] veezi:
nope,ADB dosen't work.it's the problem.I deleted the OneTimeInitializer.apk,and double wipe,so now I can't start my walkman.

I find that the updater is copy the ROM into walkman's storage when it works,then restart.

but when the updater completed,walkman also can't work.:(

it's so strange,we can root the F800 no matter what location to sell,China Mainland,HongKong or Japan.

Isn't a matter of IP?you know that if we doesn't use VPN or GAE,Chinese can't surf such as Facebook,Twitter or YouTube.

and vice versa.:rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] utubo_sk8:
oh well... most phones could use adb after the bootanimation is loaded or something.

i have no idea. theres no way to unbrick it for no, i guess. recovery also doesnt let us use adb so...

maybe i should use it with proxy?
[General Questions and Answers] veezi:
I use my galaxy note 2 to test the root tool just now,

and your picture means that your walkman had installed the drivers,

and is all ready to be rooted.

then you can use the tool on PC to root as the last pictures.

I also clear the our Chinese apps are so funny,

it should be so easy,but to so hard:confused:

if he succeed,I think my walkman will be bring back to life.:rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] utubo_sk8:
the important thing is, how to flash recovery without the bootloader to flash image...

im guessing that will be like xrecovery. this means, the walkman have to be booted first. not sure tho.

Walkman F bricked

So... I got my Walkman F806 last December and it had no root at the time. I found this forum thread shortly thereafter and there was no root solution. Later on however, one did pop up on this forum thread and then I rooted my Walkman. A few months after, I installed Pimp my Rom and after messing around with the build.prop... It is stuck in a bootloop now. I did not take proper precautionary measures such as doing a nandroid backup , having cwm installed, etc. But I did create a backup of the prop file on the device using the Pimp my Rom tool. Unfortunately, the stock recovery is not very useful and only has options to wipe the /data /log and /cache partitions. I do not know what to do as I am quite inexperienced with these matters of recovery. Any help would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] zhuhang:
So F800 series dont support flashing? The only way to flash is via cwm?

Is there even a cwm for it?
[General Questions and Answers] frostDPr:
I'm not sure whether there is a cwm for it. However, I am sure that there is no option to flash it from the stock recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] utubo_sk8:
yep.

as far as i know, pulling the kernel/recovery with dd didnt work, these gave me a image filled with null.
[General Questions and Answers] zhuhang:
Well, I suggest F800 users dont tweak your rom much. Just some minor ones but you need to be extremely careful.
[General Questions and Answers] frostDPr:
Yes that would make sense... But unfortunately that is too late. So it's permanently bricked?
[General Questions and Answers] s|cko:
Same here. That app is still in beta and my Z is stuck in a bootloop.

Tried using the update program on my PC but it won't detect the device. I guess it's permanent.
[General Questions and Answers] frostDPr:
Yeah the Walkman won't connect to my computer in any way. I tried the update program also but it just won't connect
[General Questions and Answers] DrSheep:
After A LOT of digging all you have to do is the following for the image dump (assume rooted):

1, go to ConnectBot or any terminal program.

2, type SU and enter to get #

3, type this command "cat /proc/partitions" no quotes and enter.

4, you should see a list of "files" like mmcblk0p5 and such, those are your rom partitions.

5, write all those file names down.

6, use this command for the rom dump: "cat /dev/block/PARTITION_NAME > /sdcard/PARTITION_NAME.img", replace PARTITION_NAME with any of the partition listed before. For example, if you want to dump the kernel, which is mmcblk0p5, you type "cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 > /sdcard/mmcblk0p5.img" and entre.

7, this will take a while, but when finished, you will see the .img file in your /sdcard. Just connect to your computer and get the files back out of your F.

Hope I did the dump correctly. I am in the process setting up ADB and all the other stuff necessary for the CWM port. However, I am 100% new to all this so it will take a while.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

I did it via CAT and got an dump for my mmcblk0p5 for about 44mb, so how can I check my dump to see it is valid?
[General Questions and Answers] frostDPr:
But how will we be able to use the .img? We haven't seen any way to actually connect our bricked Walkman to a computer and the default recovery has no method of flashing
[General Questions and Answers] DrSheep:
This is more for the CWM recompile, as I have yet to discover a flash boot method for the F or Z. Since boot/kernel/p5 partition is required, I need someone to verify that the dump is valid.
[General Questions and Answers] utubo_sk8:
what i did is opening it with binary editor. which was filled with 00.

extract the kernel with this method, or maybe somewhere else: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=777380

and try kallsyms with the image. but this wont work, i think.

Sony NWZ-F804 Firmware 1.14.0016 how to get root?
[General Questions and Answers] i23mix:
Just thought I would share that the F880 series and possibly the ZX1 can still be rooted. I came across a Japanese YouTube video showing the root process for an F886 with 1.24.0000 firmware. It involves using the KingRoot software and installing SuperSU instead of the KingRoot app. I tried it myself on my F887 and can confirm it works! Since I couldn't read Japanese, I just followed along with the video and used the links in the description.

Link to video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_F4Ef7fBo0

You might want to enable usb debugging after enabling developer options (I'm not sure you really need to do this, but it couldn't hurt) http://www.greenbot.com/article/2457...or-tablet.html

Steps I've deciphered from watching the video:

1) Download and install the KingRoot software for Windows from http://www.kingroot.net (the software is completely in Chinese language unfortunately)

2) Start up the KingRoot software (if it hasn't already started up already) and plug in your F880 series walkman. It should be detecting your device and downloading root exploits for it.

3) When it's done finding the root exploit for your device, click on the green Root button and it should start rooting your device. (the device should restart a couple of times)

4) Rooting should be finished when the program shows a big green check mark and KingRoot app launches on the device.

5) Close the KingRoot app since we'll be installing SuperSU instead.

6) Go to: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How...perSU.html?m=1 and download Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip at the bottom of the page.

7) Extract Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip and there should be a folder named "mrw". Move the "mrw" folder to the root directory of the device. You can disconnect the device from the computer after the "mrw" folder is done copying and close the KingRoot program on the computer.

8) Open up the Google Play store and download/install "Terminal Emulator for Android".

9) Start up Terminal Emulator and type the following:

su

(hit enter and press "allow" when the pop up appears)

sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

(hit enter, the script should run and there should be a whole lot of failures, it should also crash)

10) Press OK, and SuperSU should start up. Press "Normal" and SuperSU should start to install. Press OK again the next 2 times when the pop up appears.

Congratulations! Your F880 should now be rooted! Now you can install awesome stuff like Viper4Android, Xposed, and a bunch of battery saving apps such as Greenify and Amplify.

After restoring from a cwm backup made on another partition table (that's made by Geno if I remember it correctly) I've got a soft-bricked device (only pink screen, nothing else). Thanks to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1541765 I could unbrick it but some bugs appeared: 1) the only ROM that could properly mount internal storage was Aurora (btw, I was on Aurora when phone bricked); 2) the only ROM that had working USB Mass-storage was... Aurora! It was completely messed up on stock roms: when there is no external sd I could turn on USB storage and couldn't turn it off, when external sd is in I couldn't turn on the USB storage, but both internal and external sd were accesible in Windows and the phone displayed that both sd-cards were unsafely dismounted, also they were unaccesible from the phone untill reboot; 3) I had neither IMEI, nor mac adress from there on. Both serial numbers were also missing.

As Aurora is still pretty unstable for daily use for me I prefer to run CM7.2, but installation of CM ended hanging at Huawei logo. I've tried to move back to stock partition table via stock-partition.zip found somewhere there, but now I have no internal storage at all, recovery can't find neither external no internal sd.

Already tried it, IMEI was restored, but mass storage wasn't working. I tried to restore it when testing mass storage on different ROMs and flashing B138 killed my IMEI again.
