vijay555: Where can I download VJEschaton v0.12? Seems to me that your web site only contains v0.11?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
t0flus: if you download the cab on my website, is it still giving v0.11? Poo. I tell you, CE Cab Manager is going to kill me one day (a bad workman...)

I may not have saved v0.12 properly into the cab. I'll try to upload it again, maybe lunchtime GMT today.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Thanks for the file t0flus!

Files with MUI extension are localized resources (like all the menus in your local language). They have the same name as the file who's resources they replace + language code (in hex) + .mui

Vj: when I downloaded VJEschaton at about 8 am (GMT) its dialog caption read v0.12,

that’s what I tested. Was there a mix up with the cab or did you just forget to update the version listing on the site?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
levenum: ah, it was v0.12 you wanted.

v0.12 should hard reset an HTC Universal. I don't think it'll hardreset any other non-HTC WM5 phone (although I can't even be sure it'll work on a Wizard, I'd be grateful for someone to test it there as well)

I don't think so far there's a generic WM5 hard reset, we have to figure out the KernelIOControl - I'll make some enquiries. But I'd be grateful if someone could download v0.12 and test it on a Uni & Wiz'r.

V

PS I don't always update my website. I'm more active on here then there! v0.12 was finished late at night. I'll update the info now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, have you seen this:

Coming in the new WM5 rom. I'll try to take a look at it once the ROM is properly released. There must be a generic hardreset command.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0flus:
Downloaded and tested v0.12 and:

Wizard - Hard reset lnk does a soft reset only.

Universal - Hard reset lnk does actually hard reset the device!

Do you have a technical explanation to this? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
t0flus: Absolutely, but I'm not happy with it.

As we all know, geeks that we are, KernelIoControl is used to cause the hardreset, in conjunction with SetCleanRebootFlag.

Whether hard reset in WM2003 was supposed to work or not, it seems that in WM5 it's not built in:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ce_base/archive/2005/06/22/431699.aspx

I spent many hours yesterday reverse engineering clearstorage to work out how to hard reset the Universal. It wasn't easy :(

If someone's got a clearstorage for the wizard, send it over and I'll see if the same idea can be extended to there.

However, the clearstorage method is obviously an OEM solution to the problem. I would really like to know a general WM5 solution, and there must be one in the forthcoming ROM update. It might have to wait until we get hold of the new rom, because otherwise, finding the right KernelIOControl could take a long time.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0flus:
I attached the ClearStorage.exe from a Wizard in a previous post. So if you want you can take a look at it.

Can you please give me a kick start on how to reverse engineer this kind

of files? Some links to usefull guides would be nice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
t0flus: two ways, one hard, one very hard - for me anyway. Someone more experienced would probably find it easy :wink:

Very hard first: load the clearstorage into EVC/VS2005 and debug it in assembler. Not pretty, not easy.

Hard: get the program IDA (if you have IDA 4.9, I will kiss you and have your babies...) Use this to reverse engineer it (also in assembler). Not pretty. Not easy. But not as hard as the other way! But with some disadvantages (unless you have 4.9)

I'll have a look at the Wiz clear storage shortly.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Guys, I've uploaded a new version of VJEschaton, 0.13. Please test for hardreseting the Wizard.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0flus:
You are fantastic!

Tested v0.13 on the Wizard and it works!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amanda580:
Excellent work Vijay ,

Can you show the code for doing the hard reset?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
amanda580: I'm trying to collect a few more, if someone can email me clearstorage equivalents for more hardware.

//clear storage on Universal

KernelIoControl(0x1012C80, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);

//clear storage on Wizard

KernelIoControl(0x1012594, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);

//otherwise hard reset on Wm2003. Soft reset on WM5

return KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);

However, there's another more generic way to do a hard reset on WM5.

I'll work on it later, but haven't had time. If anyone does implement this, please post me some code :)

I bugged MS and they pointed me here:

Dear Vijay and other Gurus,

I have been trying to hard reset my Himalaya without any luck as my Record Button is broken and therefore i can't get an actual hard reset on my device. Due to this i have been unable to use WM2005 on my device.

So my question is: Will your program successfully hard reset WM2005 on my himalaya? If yes, then i'll go through the trouble of reflashing my device with the WM2005 rom and trying it out.

Any help on this matter will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Farhan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
farhan_31: have you tried using VJEschaton to hard reset?

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] farhan_31:
Thanks for the prompt reply Vijay.

No i haven't tried VJEschaton as yet 'coz i don't wanna go thru the trouble of losing my wm2003SE that i am using currently and still end up with only a soft reset. I was hoping that you would be able to provide a answer to that. :(

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Farhan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] farhan_31:
After the last posting, i decided to check whether VJEschaton would hard reset WM2005 on Himalaya and i am sad to say that i wasn't met with any success.

It just results in a soft-reset.

I am awating for your reply, Vijay. Please advise on the same.

Regards,

Farhan.

Hi Vijay,

great work!

I attached the ClearStorage of the Charmer if you are still interested.

If you find out the ioctl code, can you laes post it?

Do you have some links that i can go through, as i tried it with ida by myself, and failed due to my lack of competence in this area.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0flus:
Took a look at the ClearStorage you posted and it should be the same ioctl code as the Wizard..

Øystein
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Patrick:
oh, thanks. a simple crc check and i would have been finished...

Any Urls for me targeting this area?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
ioctl for Wizard & Jamin & SP5 & SP5m, Charmer: 0x1012594

Should already be supported by current VJEschaton.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sashje:
Has anyone successfully performed a hard reset on a Samsung I320?

I've found out that the InitializeApp.exe is the executable in charge of the factory reset.. And I've extracted it and dissasembled it.. But i can't make and sense of it..

First of all, it uses as KernelIoControl to retrieve the "1234" password key for a reset and compare this to your input.. If successfull, it starts a SetTimer with it's own WndProc.. This wndProc only contains(in following order):

1. A VirtualAlloc and VirtualCopy..

2. FindFirstDevice(DeviceSearchByGuid, ...) finding the USBFN device ..

3. CreateFile to the szLegacyName in the DEVMGR_DEVICE_INFORMATION returned by FindFirstDevice..

4. DeviceIoControl ..

5. And lastly.. a SetSystemPowerState ..

I've tried to rewrite this in native C code, but the formating/hard reset does not occur after the SetSystemPowerState call ..

Has anyone managed to do this? I've tested the Samsung i600, but this device follows the methods such as the HTC devices( KernelIoControl followed by a IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Le Sage:
Well, VJEschaton doesn't work on the Hewlett-Packard iPAQ Data Messenger. :(

Hi I am trying to programmatically hard reset wm6.x in c++ but any of the above solutions doesn't work. Does anyone know the solution for wm 6?

SetCleanRebootFlag();

KernelIoControl(0x1012594, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);

KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);//Soft restarts device

Hello everyone

I purchased LG Optimus LTE2, F160L. I was trying to install ROM but as it rebooted it stuck on screen saying "LG Security Error"?

How can I fix this error?

any help!

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvlymani:
100% Solved

download attached file, there you can find two links for

1. Download KDZ

2. Download Attached ZIP file

1) Download the latest KDZ for your phone

check link in attached file

2) Make sure you have LG United Drivers already installed, otherwise download from below

*LGUnitedMobileDriver file in attached zip

3) Download LG KDZ Updater

KDZ_FW_UPD_EN folder in zip

4) Download the manual adb wipe batch file

wipe in attached zip

5) Put your Optimus into Download Mode by switching it off, attaching the usb cable to the phone, holding both the up and down volume buttons at the same time and lastly inserting the usb cable into the computer; wait for the drivers to finish loading if doing it for the first time.

6) run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe. Use the settings below

Type: 3GQCT

Phone Mode: CS_Emergency

KDZ file: navigate to the folder which you have saved the downloaded KDZ from the step (1)

Click Launch Software Update and wait for the flash process to finish

7) Your phone will restart itself when IParam = 90 is displayed and proceed slower until you see IParam=1 again (which signals the end of flash, you can safely exit the program then and remove the cable from the phone). If phone boots up normally, congrats, skip the steps below and proceed to use the phone as per normal.

However, this most probably will not be the case for newer Optimus-es, as the data partition somehow wasn't wiped even when KDZ-ed, remaining 'dirty', thus causing bootloop or security infringement.

8) If the phone is stuck at the booting up LG/Telco logo, you will need to manually wipe the data partition.

9) Force the phone off by holding the power button for appx 15secs.

10) Put the phone into recovery mode by holding the volume up and home button concurrently, then press the power button. Let go of all the buttons after you see the LG logo on screen for the 2nd time and the screen goes blank thereafter (backlight may still be on). The phone will kind of reboot and then enters recovery mode. Repeat the process if you did not get it the first time.

11) With the phone in Recovery Mode, connect it to the computer, wait for the drivers to load (if doing it for the first time), unzip the wipe batch file downloaded earlier from step (4), double click on wipe.bat to execute the wipe command.

12) Your phone will auto reboot when wiped and (hopefully) boot as per normal.

Hope with this simple guide fellow members will feel safer when rooting or removing non essential LG wares from their Optimus.

Thanks man for this awesome thread. I flashed an android 4.3.1 rom on my LG LTE 2 and it turned out to be sh*t... made me worry a lot. It didn't allow me to connect to wifi neither did it detect my sd card. It didn't let me boot into recovery either... I was so damn frustrated.. I wasted continuous hours looking for a solution as Korean phones have little support and I finally found this thread. I have to say this is the BEST DAMN POST regarding the LTE 2 recovery from bad ROMS I have ever seen. You can measure my appreciation from the amount of words that I've typed. :p

Need serous Help.

I am having a little bit different problem with my two f160k phones, and its driving me crazy since last three days. I reading the articles and blogs about more then 16 hours a day and tried almost every solution which is similier to my phone,

1st. this first phone is showing securtiy error after booting right at the bottom of LG logo. can't go to recovery, can't enable download mode. Although I have installed each and every driver and LG pc suite. whatever i do with the phone its response is the same only boot and stuck at lg logo with the security error.

2nd, the second phone is almost out of my understanding, whenever I turn on this phone, the Lg logo appears with the message saying ( secure booting Error. cause, device is unlock, boot success) and then it flees directly to the cwm touch recovery. I tried many custom Roms in it cause the recovery is working but after completing instalation successfully the phone does the same thing with the same stupid message.

I can get to the download mode in this phone but, the phone doesn't detected by the pc or not make a single sound and the pc shows like there is nothing attached to it. I tried renaming my ports name with com41 etc and many different solution wherever i read, I also tried giving the Lg pc suite the Imei no of my phone so it can detect it in download mode but it says the phone is disconnected and retry stuff. there is more, whenever i plug the cable whether the cable is connected with the pc or charger the phone does the same thing boot into recovery with the bull**** message.

Any Idea?? cause I AM OUT OF MY FREAKING MIND I know there is some soul left in my phone but don't know how to extract it!1:crying:
