At least he should know how to make his blob.bin file for nvflash recovery. One day he will make one step astray and then he will be lost without the nvflash files.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CRACING:
Hello friends,

Got a TF201 here with stock ROM version 10.4.2.18 (JB) and is also rooted using motocopper but not unlocked. Device warranty has finished and now I wanted to go for custom ROMs since I'm fed-up with stock ROM.

Hope I have read all the important things to get ready. First I will be flashing flatline recovery, then flash AndroidRoot Patched Bootloader using wheelie and take backups of blobs as mentioned in androidroot.mobi guide.

Then I will be installing "Downgrade Hairybean 4.1.1 Bootloader & Recovery.zip" so I can use CM11 by Namidairo.

Am I doing correctly here?

Later if I want Hairy Bean v2.2, first I will have to install "Upgrade Hairybean 4.2.1 Bootloader & Recovery.zip" then Hairybean 2.2.zip. Right?

I'm new here and transformer pad is complex then any other devices but have read lots of people bricked there beloved device and I don't wanna be one of them by doing wrong things. :- |

Thanks...

Best Regards

Edit: I think I'm missing a main thing here. Do I have to first unlock my device before going to flatline?

Edit 2: Ok I followed the instructions by http://matthill.eu and lucky everything was successful. Attaching details about backup files I took. Hope they are all correct. Please check it.

Edit 3: Installed Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader plus their recovery. Then the Hairybean 2.31. Everything successful!@! :D

I expected the whole process is very hard but everything went easily, just a little high blood pressure until the process completed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nixeus:
Hello,

I bricked my TF201...

Cannot boot into Android and cannot acces to the Bootloader.

My devices is unlocked, but i don't activate nvflash so i don't have my proper Blob file.

Is my device dead ?

Today, is there a hack in order to generate a goog blob form antoher blob's device ?

Thanks a lot,

You are my last hope....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ijustknow:
Is there any chance to have a version for TF502T?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
This just started today. Anyone else having the Phone app request superuser?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
I just had "reset notify" request superuser, and I'm at work so I haven't had a chance to figure out what it exactly is yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
Phone asked again today. Only one it seems. Tempted to let it go haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I have it also.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
At least I'm not going crazy. I managed to catch the command and it's trying to chmod 666 a modem file. I'm going to turn on full logging in su to see exactly what file.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
If the stock phone app is being granted root, might there be a possible root exploit somewhere depending on the command?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
I doubt it. I would be more interested to see if it's checking for root to change or disable something.

It only does it about once every other day though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
It happens to me too. Running BoneStock 1a. I have it set to deny and not prompt me and haven't noticed any difference whatsoever.

The phone app asking for root randomly seems like a dirty hack someone made and those tend to be sloppy. What if you could symlink the chmod target, or adjust the path variable to have it execute something else?

I am now pretty interested to see the command it's trying to run, lets turn on logging and see if it happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I have gotten it a few times, not since v1.0f but nothing I changed would make it stop, not sure what the hell it wants permission for and wy it's asking for it, but I also denied it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] IceDragon59:
I've also been getting it several times in the last few days.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zynesterysdan:
I get it on my stock rom just after unlocking bootloader and installing supersu on launch day. Like others I just denied it. Haven't seen any side effects yet since then.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
HTC Service Accessory or something similar to that requests root every few days on mine. Is that what you guys are asking about? Haven't had the phone app request access yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
No... the Phone app. I haven't had any other system app request root access on any of my devices, it completely undermines the security platform.

If the Phone app is being granted root on a stock phone, that means that app is whitelisted for root access somehow. And wasn't there a recent Android vulnerability that allows you to alter the code of a signed APK without affecting the signature?

---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------

This is the command it is trying to run: chmod 666 /sys/devices/platform/mdm2_modem/msr_info

The mdm2_modem is public rx only, but would it be possible to change the app's PATH variable maybe and have it execute a different chmod since I can't tell if it is using the full file path to execute it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
Well my little newb investigation turned up nothing.

The Phone app is run as user "radio" uid 1001 which, unlike root, does have a PATH set to outside /system. Write access to /data/local/ would almost certainly give root but I'm sure that's probably known already.

Android bug 8219321 would have given root to original versions of The One running 4.1, but the Verizon version runs 4.2.2.

Oh well, obviously couldn't have been that easy.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
Wouldn't chmod 666 make it writeable? That would be a sneaky trick is they put that request in there to check for root and change something. I feel like root = free tethering to Verizon lol.

I would think that there is a root exploit available for the one, but there is no point in using it right now because system is protected and the phone resets whenever you try to change system.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
Yeah it makes it world writable which could be relevant depending on how that file is used by other processes. I'm sure there are others who have been at this longer so I won't waste my time looking for a unicorn.

And I think people would still like root even if they lose it on restart.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jbar25:
I'm getting this issue on a stock Rogers HTC One with root. Has anybody been able to gather the SU logs?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
going into recovery and fixing permissions worked for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
are you sure? I get it only every few days so hard to nail down a fix.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
As was posted, it's trying to make a modem file writable. Fixing permissions might make sense. It also probably means that this is no big deal.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
it worked for me. i switched roms maybe about a week later, but i was getting it every day.

after i fixed permissions it stopped happening.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
Cool, I'll give that a try. Don't plan on flashing anything until 4.3 is at least leaked.

edit: didn't work for me. Fixed permissions using ROM manager, still got SU popping up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] calanizzle:
Just happened to me, same message as you guys. First time tho, will leave it here, if it shows again, I'll just hide the notifications
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ppd0526:
I also get this request randomly.

I have yet to grant it access since I am always weary of apps that I did not specifically install to use root asking for root, especially stock apps. There should be no reason a stock app asks for root from what I can see.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
This is good practice. My exact reasoning for starting this thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eyetek:
Just wanted to add my recent superuser request....it was for SIM Toolkit and it happened in the 13th and then on the 16th. I unlocked my phone via Rumrunner on the 13th just FYI.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xRogerxC:
Same. Happened to me for the first time 2 days ago, and again about 10 minutes ago. Running stock rooted. I'm going to try to fix permissions and see what happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DHowett:
Crawling through the disassembly (framework/framework2 mostly, as well as UDove.apk), it looks like it's part of HTC's feedback and reporting service. It's quite literally phoning home.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dashbored:
Just wanted to add my data to the group - according to SU log, Phone has been requesting root at precisely 3:41 am everyday. I've denied it access. I guess it's harmless then to leave as is?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carm01:
I initially denied it a few days after i unlocked and rooted the device. Currently, stock debloated odexed.

I notice now after seeing this thread again that for the past two days at the same time it automatically gets denied. Today at the time it didn't happen for some reason.

I also ran fix permissions last weekend as well. So apparently that didn't resolve the issue in my case.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fridgid:
is anybody with .8 getting this? I am on .8 and I am not.

Did the phone app change with .10 ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] oletheos:
im on .8 and i get it. i've seen it twice, refused it 2nd time, and i've seen it pop up once since and get refused automatically
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dashbored:
Yep, I am on .8
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carm01:
i am on .10
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fridgid:
Well then I guess it doesn't have anything to do with 605.8 vs 605.10

:)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xRogerxC:
No, not at all. I am running .10 software, S-off (rumrunner method), stock rooted.

I think it's important for everyone to post up their information about software version, S-off (and method used), Rooted or not, and Recovery Type used, Just a thought :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xbrianx619:
Never seen this before. That's strange...I wonder why the phone app would ask for root privileges..

.10, unlocked, s-off(rumrunner method) Barebones v1.1
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tmzasz:
It's happening to mine as well here is the logged command I am getting on mine

chmod 666 /sys/subsystem_restart_properties/

subsystem_restart_reason_nonblock

I keep denying it and I'm newish to android but not linux so if more info is needed tell me what and where to find it

Update: After talking to htc support about the issue ( they were surprised at the root request from the phone app ) they asked me to clear the data on the phone app and volia haven't had a root request since, they suspected it might have been corrupt data from the flashing of the custom rom

Update2: Nope they came back just now without the annoying popup they are auto denying
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fridgid:
I'm on stock .8 with s-off via rumrunner. I've disabled bloatware and I flashed a zip from the dev subforum to prevent future OTAs. Using twrp. I've never gotten the popup.

I do occasionally whisper sweet nothings into my baby's ear which might be why she still loves me. Try talking nicely to your phone imo. ;)

been watching it latley and its now requesting su every day at 13:50 exactly with the same command

chmod 666 /sys/subsystem_restart_properties/subsystem_restart_reason_nonblock
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrjinglesusa:
I fixed permissions and haven't gotten the request since. Been about 2 weeks now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wevsspot:
I fixed permissions Friday evening and have gone for two days now without getting a request. Maybe that has done the trick......
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wevsspot:
For whatever reason the same request popped up again today. I've fixed permissions and uninstalled / re-installed SuperSU a few moments ago and I'll see if that helps.

I've read that the developer stated it is reasonably safe to enable "Trust system user" in the SuperSU options, however I'm hesitant to go that far............ yet.

Strange thing, is that even with SuperSU blocking the "Phone" request for SU, everything still seems to be functioning correctly. So in short, I haven't yet found what exactly it is blocking.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carm01:
I keep getting this too, it will do it for a few days in a row, at a specific time, then will stop for a few days, then start back up again for a few days in a row at at a different time from the previous cycle, each day with the same time, and then the cycle repeats and a different time.

Fix permissions does not resolve this as far as i seen on my end.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wevsspot:
Pretty much the same thing I'm seeing. Strange pattern and really weird that regardless of the number of days it skips, it always asks at almost the exact same time every day.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Killz420:
My girls phone, stock rooted, was doing that also. I've since switched hers to bonestock like mine and haven't seen it since. I've been on bonestock since the day I s-off & haven't seen it on mine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] totoguy:
I've been getting this as well.

There's barely any info on this, and the short discussion on the SuperSU thread has died out a month ago.

Is anybody here experiencing this, using something other than SuperSU?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] oops_iv:
Im using koush's superuser .. i see the requests daily, but i have them set to auto-deny
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] chepeliyas:
Getting the same message with unlocked HTC One and 4.3.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carm01:
official 4.3 update still requesting superuser

Just so everyone knows the official ota to 4.3 still has the phone app asking for superuser access.

Seen it today for the first time since the OTA was applied to my phone when it was rolled out
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Strange, I've yet to see this on any OTA or Rom....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tmzasz:
can confirm both the 4.4 ota ( dev edition rom with SuperCID ) and the Dev edition RUU are giving me this still at the same time 13:50 daily lol
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
I am running Santod040's debloated odexed latest 4.3 and got the request again also. Denied SU and it hasn't requested it in a day or so. Just an odd quirk I guess.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carm01:
Would be interesting to know what is causing this to be honest, i have mine set to deny, but its weird

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

I am also going to try Koush's new superuser app after reading about it here to see if that makes a difference since it is suppose to be more up to date according to the article here: http://phandroid.com/2013/02/25/clockworkmod-superuser-app/

You can get the flashable here as i had issues installing it from play store. the flashable link is at the bottom of the page.

All i did was full uninstall of supersu, and then reboot to recovery to flash, works great so far, with some nice features. Give it a try.

So far it works, i guess in the next few days we will see if the phone/superuser thing keeps happening.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] chepeliyas:
I`m on 4.4 stock Sense 5.5 and still getting the root phone request.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Synthic:
I'm running [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]'s debloated 2.10.605.1 as well and I just saw a SuperSU toast about it denying superuser access at 6:22 PM. The Phone app is what it turned out to be. The exact command it's attempting is:

chmod 666 /sys/subsystem_restart_properties/subsystem_restart_reason_nonblock

The only thing I've changed in my setup recently is the installation of the Xposed Framework and Sense 5 Toolbox. Still, all superuser requests from the module are handled by it's own apk and there are no mods included related to the Phone app as far as I can tell, so I don't see that being the cause. One more thing of note is that at the same time as this happening, I received a notification to set up my phone from the HTC Get Started app. They are probably unrelated but I thought it was worth mentioning. It makes no sense to me why this is occurring in a virtually stock build.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] minori_aoi:
also happened to me. it made me thinks Someone (you know who) is trying to bug me. Or something's trying to make some premium call service without me knowing. i dunno ... but for the good measure, I denied it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fuzi0719:
I just got this for the first time on my new HTC One. I'm rooted, unlocked, S-OFF on stock T-Mobile 4.3 OTA (with Bulletproof kernel). I've only had the phone for a week, this root request from PHONE (1001) just showed up about 10:15am this morning. I denied it. Makes me nervous. I've had the included Lookout Security scan everything on my phone, no issues show up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
You do know that you posted that in a Forum devoted to the Verizon version of the HTC One?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
I have gotten this several times not only with the phone app, but also with other system apps. And not just on KK, but also on GB and ICS. At first i was like what the hell is this. But after it came up so many times i decided to just allow it to see what happens. I figured if it messed something up, i would just ruu. Anyways it didnt seem to do anything. No changes to the phone that i can tell, and no premium charges or anything. I have also had non root user apps ask for su before.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] spacious:
So I am on Sprint and their version of the One. This is also happening to me. When I Google the issue, this is the XDA thread that comes up. This issue seems to be happening on all of the networks, on stock and stock-based ROMs. There doesn't seem to be a thread in the other device forums, only here for Verizon.

It would be interesting to know what's really going on. I've never noticed a stock or system app asking for root permission before this.

I've also been denying the request, but am curious as to the outcome for the person who allowed it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] arizonaomnia:
Me.

Sent from my HTC One
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
The phone app asks for superuser because of the vzw backup assistant. Normally that app doesn't need su but because superuser is present it must handle superuser permission requests.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Someone correct me if im wrong, but system apps should technically already have superuser permissions, as they are owned by and part of the group root (0). But as disconnecktie stated since the superuser app is installed, even sysyem apps are forced to go thru it to gain root permission.

I have granted system apps access without any reprocussions what so ever.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] captainnick:
Sprint 4.4.2

I am also getting random supersu requests. I was wondering if anyone has figured out a fix or reason.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
The fix is to either permanetly block or allow the app.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bobsbobbers:
I'm guessing outcome is unknown. If love someone smarter than Me to take a look at what's going on here. I too have been disallowing it.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rayman:
The AndroidRoot.Mobi Team is proud to present Flatline: Nvflash for TF300T Jellybean!

This release allows generating nvflash blobs for your specific device, making your device unbrickable as long as you have a copy of the blobs.

As a brand new feature, it will also enable wifi and upload a copy of the blob to androidroot's server. Later, a solution will be released to retrieve the blobs from the server if you ever loose them.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] JoinTheRealms:
try this https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/

I cant test it on my tf300t since i done it during ICS, but it did work successfully on my JB tf700 ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] hgoldner:
So, having read the guide thoroughly, if already on the JB bootloader (10.4.20.0), is it necessary to update to the latest firmwares before running this or can I do it on 10.4.20.0? I note that the guide references bootloader 10.6.1.15.3. Also, anyone know whether doing the NVFlash thing wipes the user data?

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to running this on my TF300T once I get my ducks in line.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Hazard17:
Wow! Good news :D.

Is it working with 10.6.27.1 bootloader, or will it work?

Thanks rayman, XpLoDWilD & Androidrootz team!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] k1chy:
[MENTION=962182]rayman[/MENTION] Is it working with the bootloader for the latest update (10.6.1.27.5 )? Or should we downgrade to 10.6.1.15.3 to be safe?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] nuno407:
It is working in 10.6.1.27.5 bl....im on c rom

i have a question....what files should i save?

the files that was generated only have 11mb...normal?

once i get the files can a reflash the twrp recovery?

if i brick my tablet what should i do with this files?

tks in advance :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cmendonc2:
This is really exciting! Thanks devs!

Just to confirm and clarify (for noobs not unlike myself), this does work with the 4.2 BL (Rom example being CM 4.3 nightlies).
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Spinergy02:
So I'm a bit confused. This process involved installing a new recovery image. If my device already has TWRP custom recovery and CM10.1 nightly, would I just follow all the steps listed and then reinstall TWRP as a final step? I was concerned with the steps that involved rebooting the device and wasn't sure how that recovery image would handle CM10.1
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cmendonc2:
OK I just did it and I got a 1.6 MB blob file...I did the wheelie and it worked but where were the files: Unlocked token, factory config, and bricksafe img files received too? They were not in the nvflash directory nor on the device, but it said all three of them had been received succesfully.

Edit:

Found them. Located at: User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore

All three were there :)

Another Edit:

I'd like to know this too. I think we can reinstall TWRP -42 at the end, but I'd like some confirmation by someone more knowledgeable than myself.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] riderskull:
Wheelie on Mac OS X

Anyone test wheelie or nvflash on OSX 10.8.5 ? Wheelie for me not work.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cmendonc2:
what part doesnt work? running any of the commands or something specific like drivers
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] riderskull:
when i execute command

wheelie --blob blob.bin

the output is

-bash: /Users/myfolder/wheelie: cannot execute binary file

Any solution ?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cmendonc2:
Use chmod or run it under sudo for Linux? Idk how Mac works
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Spinergy02:
Sure do wish OP would come back and answer some of the previous questions about useability...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rayman:
OS X is not currently supported. We do actually have a wheelie port for OS X, but we haven't been able to find a sufficiently new nvflash binary for OS X, so there's little point in releasing it. You must use windows or linux.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rayman:
Yes, you can install whatever recovery you want after getting your blobs.

You are also free to install whatever bootloader you want afterwards.

The recovery is essentially CWM with some extras, so it should flash any CWM flashable rom without issue.
