Can someone point me where I can get some help in recovering this android box. It is WeChip V8. It boots in logo only, and when I try to do anything else with the reset button, it just boots into the recovery. The efforts to boot into sd card or usb prepared for flashing, does not work. Also, usba-usba cable does not make Windows recognize that the box is connected.

Any help is appreciated!View attachment 4729903View attachment 4729904View attachment 4729905
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
It's always kind of hard for those aiming to help without knowing what actually caused the problems, did you try to modify the system or did it simply refuse to boot up the other day?

Do you have a stock firmware (which could be flashed by stock recovery), did you factory reset it?

Might be software, might be hardware related - impossible to say without knowing what actually happened to it... :)
[General Questions and Answers] dadach:
Thanks, I think it got stuck while updating, and on the next reboot just starting to get stuck in logo.

It should not be a hardware problem.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Alright! Is there a way to simply reapply the update via stock recovery? If it hangs again then it's probably a good idea to try factory resetting via stock recovery first...

More questions:

How did you update, as OTA or via PC?

Does the PC detect the device while in recovery mode?

Did you check the manufacturer homepage for firmware files / updates and suggested methods to apply them?

ota, and pc does not react when connected. Could I have a bad cable for data, considering the box powers up with the usb connected only.

Need Help in Unlocking Asus ME371MG fonepad Boot loader

Hello,

I have a rooted Asus Tablet (ME371MG) in my possession on which I would like to unlock the Bootloader. The process of rooting the phone was followed via this thread https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250124&page=22 - So full marks and all the credits to [MENTION=1815763]botto00[/MENTION] for reverse engineering the .raw files and giving us the superuser access. The Asus Tablet at the moment is using an Android Jellybean OS (4.1.2) with 1G of RAM and 4G of ROM.

That said, I would like to take the development on this unit one step forward by unlocking the bootloader of this device so that we can tweak and install custom ROMs and get TWRP or CWM on this tablet. I understand that unlocking the bootloader requires the user to run a targetted script into the bootloader file of the phone and that can only be done if there is a known vulnerability in the device.

To find that vulnerability and while fishing the Internet I found an application called Bootstomp which uses different analysis techniques to find bugs in the bootloader like memory corruption or other state storage vulnerabilities so I thought whether this app could be used in finding the same type of exploits for the Asus ME371MG - This is the Git Hub link for the application https://github.com/ucsb-seclab/BootStomp

Now comes the problem! The first problem is that the Bootstomp application uses two files to find this information with the first file that they used as an example was, 'config/config.huawei' and the second file was '/tmp/BootloaderTaint_fastboot.img_.out' - I know that these files (having the same functionality) can be found in my Asus tablet as well but I don't even know where to start looking and how can I just get thee images out from my tablet?

The Second problem is that I read in another online thread that these files are in different partitions of the tablet so I would need to either dd a recovery image or adb pull it to my computer. To find the recovery image I tried doing running the following codes

adb shell
su root
cat /proc/partitions

adb shell
su root
cat /proc/mounts

adb shell
su root
cat /proc/dumchar_info

The first two codes did not give me the blocks that I needed to dd the recovery or the bootloader image and the third set of code was not recognized as a file or directory. To add to this I also cannot run fdisk commands and neither does /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery exist in my phone (as there are many guides online telling me to dd the recovery image from there).

So what do I do now? How do I get to the recovery or bootloader image so that I can play around with it or better yet is there any route via which I can successfully unlock Asus ME371MG bootloader? Because at the end of the day my original goal and the reason why I am doing all this is to make sure that I have an unlocked bootloader for ME371MG.

Thank you for reading and please do let me know.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You need to find your partition structure to see your partition locations and how they are labeled.

Have you tried running this command using a terminal emulator app?

ls /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/

That should list your partition addresses and which partition is which. This should tell you which mmcblk0p is your recovery partition and which is your boot partition.

Since you are rooted, have you tried using a terminal emulator app? You can run the dd commands to pull a copy of your recovery and boot partitions directly from the terminal emulator app instead of using adb/adb shell.

Then you just need the correct dd command using the partition locations that the ls command gives you.
[General Questions and Answers] ahmedwaqas92:
I can't 'ls' the directory using a terminal emulator or using a terminal itself (as I have access to Ubuntu as well) since there is no directory as /dev/block/platform in the Android's Partition.

Here is what I get if I 'ls' the /dev/block

$ adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su root
root@android:/ # ls /dev/block
loop0
loop1
loop2
loop3
loop4
loop5
loop6
loop7
mmcblk0
mmcblk0p1
mmcblk0p2
mmcblk0p3
mmcblk0p4
mmcblk0p5
mmcblk0p6
mmcblk0p7
mmcblk0p8
mmcblk1
mmcblk1p1
vold
root@android:/ #

As you can see there is no subdirectory called platform so how do I view the files now?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Not all devices use dev/block some use dev/mtd.

Have you tried the following command?

cat /proc/mtd

Also, msm_sdcc.1 is for Qcom devices, your device is an Intel Atom based tablet, you need to be using commands with the proper nomenclature for your architecture.
[General Questions and Answers] ahmedwaqas92:
Tried both the commands as below:

User@Lenovo-PC /cygdrive/c

root@android:/ # ls /dev/mtd
/dev/mtd: No such file or directory
1|root@android:/ # cat /proc/mtd
sh: cat: /proc/mtd: No such file or directory
1|root@android:/ #

Is there something wrong with this tablet? The partitions should be there right?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
They are there, just gotta talk to it correctly. Right now we are having trouble finding something it understands in order to get the right information from it.

There is more than one command to find this information.
[General Questions and Answers] ahmedwaqas92:
I've read guides after guides on the internet and nothing seems to work to find the partition tables for this tablet. Is it because it's using some peculiar file system? How do I get past this hurdle?

hi guys noob question, i'm digging through kernel source for the same mediatek soc but from a different device, found here:

https://github.com/MT6797/kernel-3..../input/touchscreen/mediatek/GT1151/gt1x_tpd.c

the problem is touchscreen polling rate is set too low on my device, pretty sure the "TPD_REFRESH_RATE" is set to max(16) where

rate: refresh rate N (Duration=5+N ms, N=0~15)

around 21ms or ~50hz

there is a function in the driver c code to get and set this value

static u8 gt1x_set_refresh_rate(u8 rate)

static u8 gt1x_get_refresh_rate(void)

the question is how to increase this parameter without compiling the kernel(which i don't have the source code to for my device)

in the include file there is also a register defined for this parameter, is there a way to access this???

#define GTP_REG_REFRESH_RATE	0x8056

Hello,

My device is Xiaomi Mi6 and now I'm on LineageOS 16 from [MENTION=8746471]NeoArian[/MENTION].

I've builded a kernel based on the source of LineageOS 16 provided by [MENTION=8746471]NeoArian[/MENTION] and flashed it via AnyKernel2 script.

After rebooting I've realized that my fingerprint scanner does not work. It was nothing in "Fingerprint" section of settings and when I tried to add a fingerprint, I've got the error (on screenshot).

I've tried to rollback the kernel (reflashed the LineageOS zip) but it wasn't helped.

I've tried to flash MIUI 9 and on this ROM fingerprint sensor works correctly.

After that I've tried to flash LineageOS 16 again but I still got the error.

Logcat (attached) says that the fingerprint could not be written to memory. Is it possible to reset this memory?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
This is typycally solved with flashing the latest firmware. If you already are on LineageOS try first a dirty flash over the existing android system, reboot and see what happened, if doesn´t solve then do a completely clean flash wiping and formatting data and flashing again first rom, then GApps and finally the latest firmware (not complete rom, only firmware). If you want to try the mentioned kernel then flash it before to flash the firmware following the logical sequence.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you didn´t look it up before there is an official app to unlock bootloader on some Asus devices, this thread refers to it https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-191576-1-1.html .

It´s unlikely that at these times someone find an exploit or something similar to unlock bootloader in a older device like this, said this I assume that at those times bootloader (of some brands and processors) was not so restrictive as in our days it is, I mean that if someone got root it and also got bootup device then bootloader acted simply like a preloader of the necessary components without restricting nor detecting nothing strange if some part of the system was altered, of course I may totally wrong but I think that if you want to build/port a custom recovery like TWRP and then build/port a custom rom for it you won´t get more handicaps than these tasks byself to get them work, there are many old devices previous or around to 2016 (I have one) with a custom recovery, rom and rooted with locked bootloader.

If you already are rooted you can try with some app to backup your boot/recovery like Flashify, Rashr and more. Also there is a "brute" way to know the path of these partitions following "dev" directory using a root file explorer for example MIXplorer app.
[General Questions and Answers] NeoArian:
I assume you got it working. Even though you might want to notice that 9.3.21 firmware (miui) breaks the fingerprint sensor on our custom ROMs so far so please stay away from this firmware (rollback works).

What is the difference between "zerofltecan" and "zerofltebmc"?

I want to flash a custom rom on my samsung galaxy s6 G920W8 variant (Canadian). I used an app to check what model my s6 was and it said it was a "zerofltebmc". I also looked up what the canadian variant was called but it said it was called "zerofltecan". Now im not sure if i should use the download link for zerofltecan or for zerofltebmc. Can someone please explain to me which one i should use.

Help would be appreciated,

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
The zerofltexx encompasses the SM-G920, SM-G925, SM-G920F, SM-G920I, SM-G920S, SM-G920K, SM-G920L, SM-G920T & SM-G920W8

I do believe that the model SM-G920W8 includes both the zerofltebmc and the zerofltecan.

I could be wrong since I don't have an S6 myself. Maybe someone could either validate or elaborate on the above information.

Good Luck!

There are several tricks to do this.

A simple Google search for:

"How to remap hardware keys android"

Should give you results that can get you started toward figuring something out.

If they follow along with a commonality among other galaxy S devices in a series, I think you might find that these S6 variants are all hardware related in the same manner that all of the Galaxy S3 "d2" variants were related, they were all d2something but could all use the unified d2lte ROMs and the S4 devices were all jfltesomething and could all use the jflte ROMs.

It seems these S6 variants are all zerofltesomething, so, in theory, the zeroflte ROMs should work on any device that is zerofltesomething.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I will say one thing in addition to my previous post.

Depending on how the ROMs were built, there "may" be an important difference between a zerofltebmc and a zerofltecan ROM. If the ROMs are not built in the same manner as the S3 unified d2lte builds were done, it might make a difference which one you use, the unified builds were built to work on all the devices regardless of what network they were on. This was not the case with ROMs that were built for a specific d2 variant. For example, a d2vzw ROM was very different from a d2spr or d2att ROM, they were different but "could" be flashed without harming the device, the radio and other things wouldn't work though. I would verify whether there is a difference between the zerofltebmc and zerofltecan ROMs, just to avoid potential headaches that require a series of flashing procedures to get back on track.

Screen can stop

Hello,

I bought a Galaxy S9 (Europe) in 2nd hand who was rooted. (Knox triggered)

I tried many times to install a rom stock downloaded from Samobile then installed TWRP.

I realized some bugs. There are problems when i want to set the lock screen option. Impossible to put digital printers, when i set Pin code, sometimes it doesn't recognized the good pin and tell me "try again". Then i'm forced to do a factory reset.

2nd problem and the worst...

If i restart my phone, on the screen which ask to enter the SIM code :

The screen turns off.

5 secondes later turns on

then turns off immediately

Finally i can do anything except a shut down the phone thank to download mode, then do the factory reset via TWRP...:rolleyes:

PS : When i come back on TWRP after this bug, i see that the smartphone has strangely lost the encryption with no-verity-opt-encrypt 6-0 (screen keep only).

Could you help me please to resolve those problems ?

I'm close to sell that phone just for a software reason...:(

Thank you

[MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION] [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION]

Just a theory: Suffix "bmc" doesn´t refer specifically to Bell Mobility (Inc.) Canada so no reason to a kind of exclusivity over the other carriers and instead means something like "based/branded model carrier" and suffix "can" means simply Canada distributed as a factory-unlocked/unbranded model.

But coming to flashing and modifying the software stuff both are exactly the same hardware-wise/variant but only that "bmc" coded keep CSC and bloat from its carrier while "can" coded is bloat-free. Atleast initially so any of both can switch from/to another at any time if fulfilled the requirements.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, this apply firstly for rooted devices, if you simply root it but try to keep it stock as much as possible will be incompatibility issues, the best you can do if you want to deal with this is to go a step further by flashing a custom rom maybe based on stock or some AOSP if available, you'll have some developers and a community pushing to keep it running although some features will be irrecoverable.

By the second part If you buy a S9 and you think to root it will be more or less the same, many users doubt if it worth to root this high-end devices at cost to lose some features and have a device non-functional at 100%. By the first part don't worry a S9 it's a flagship yet so it does not have to present any (major) fail if system is not altered by the user.
