OTA routine updates + Phone call recording

I have other 2 questions

I wish to root my device: (using chaifire Auto-CF method).

1. OTA routine updates

What will happen when I make an official OTA monthly upgrade, from Samsung? Will I get the device bricked? Will I lose rooting?

2. Phone call recording.

For many reasons I wish to avoid to flash a custom rom. How then can I get the capability of "phone call recording" during a phone call? I have this feature with my NON rooted MIUI M3 device...running android 4.4.2. Are out there any apk to install or special mods?

I am not asking about privacy concerns or the legality of phone recording, I just wish to know if that function is feasible without flashing a custom ROM.

Thank you

Saulo

As far as I know china mobile runs FDD band 3 (1800) and band 7 (2600) ONLY in Hong Kong. All other parts of China using TDD. As far as 910C I can assure you it has band 3 (1800) because vodafon qatar uses that band.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saulo866:
Thank you.

I am using China Unicom, not China Mobile, but, yes, both carriers are currently sharing the TDD LTE network

So we have to admit that LG G3 has both FDD LTE and TDD LTE? Otherwise why my LG G3 shows a 4GB icon on top bar? Of course I am using the same 4G enabled China Unicom SIM card
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
The 910G should work in china as it supports TDD bands
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
Really strange as both your 910c and the Unicom 9106w both list B3 (1800) in their specs so it should work.

Any way to get into the settings and force LTE only? Do the APNs look OK?

Dear Kinghu

How to force LTE? In settings I only see

WCDMA only

WCDMA/GSM

GSM only

2.

In Hong Kong I saw 4G icon. But at that time I did NOT check in settings, Anyway the speed was so good! I downloaded an entire movie is less than 6 mins. Incredibly fast. Here I am back to average speeds.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanky09:
I just bought a 4G china unicom sim card and receive H+ as the symbol.

I called Unicom and asked them why and the guy told me that iphone symbols show 4G but android and some other devices may show H+ but it's still 4G speeds..

Is that even possible? My HTC One can use 4G but it's showing H+, I didn't think H+ could be shown if it actually uses FDD-LTE..

This tool allow to flash your Trinity ROM bypassing CID and signature(*) check.

For flashing ROM copy SSPL-TRIN.exe to your device and run it. Standart bootloader prompt should appear on screen, check SPL version number: if it ends with ".ds" then everything is fine. (Re)attach usb cable and run firmware update utility.

In case if something goes wrong during flashing you should flash your device with ROM accepted by standard bootloader (and have another try if you wish).

(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formated signatures on their places, however no checking are performed against them. Actualy unsigned code flashing was tested by flashing original signed nbh image with few bytes in header and extrom section modified, but patches were designed to accept any properly formatted crap as a valid signature.

See readme.txt for more info

As for hermes i cannot test that one.

A minor thing i noticed that it doesn't return the current rom version to the romupdateutility just says "".

Great work
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Des:
if you are asking 'bout trinity then yes. If 'bout hermes then I wanna know in too :) but I'm 90% shure that there would be no surprise. Anyway (please don't treat this as official acceptance of responsibility :D ) chance of bricking device is immeasurably low: in the wrost case SPL simply hangs unstarted (you could't do anything wrong in this case).

Afaik version number is retrieved by RUUGetInfo.exe started from CE. And you won't get this when you are starting your flashing on device already in SPL service mode (even with normal SPL).

[P3600 Software Upgrading] SecureGSM:
Thank you!

As far as I understand, this will allow for flashing of any "cooked" firmware to above mentioned devices and some others..

Well, I have got few devices here ( as per my signature). Please let me know if more testing is required.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Des:
Yes it should. Have neither time nor expirence on cooking modern devices firmware (dump/restoreimgfs version that I have don't work on Trinity rom and I have no will to make it working unless forced to) so flashing realy "cooked" rom was not tested. But as mentioned above I was able to successfully flash original rom with some bytes modified and from signatures point of view this makes no difference with cooked ROM.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] SecureGSM:
Noted. Thanks for your efforts.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Des:
Not at all. And I hope that ability to flash unsigned code to any device would create demand for rom cooking toolchain and it would be (if it havn't already) develoed to support newer roms.

HTC Breeze smartphone should be a good candidate, as it should be very similar to hermes & trinity.

Also you can try on Artemis, but artemis uses DOC and is quite a different platform.

I really give you many thanks for this great work and effort :)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Des:
This tool and [paid] CID&SIM unlock are very different in fact.

SSPL does not unlock anything by itself. It simply allows you to flash any ROM (including unsigned ones) to your device.

Paid sollution give you permanent SuperCID wich in order make possible flashing ROMs with any CID.

If everything you want is just flashing GPS ROM both sollutions are identical except for SSPL doesn't change anything in your ROM (except flashing of course).

I hardly see any reasons why somebody would really need permanent SuperCID, so if your device isn't SIM-locked I see no benefits from paid unlock. Even if it does or you need real SuperCID for some purposes - pof have created patched radio image with wich you can do SIM&CID unlock. And yes - this radio can be flashed with SSPL.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Des:
Already done but I prefer to test it by myself first, cause there may be some problems due to m$ smartphonish nature. I havn't breeze at hand right now so please wait 'bout day or two.

Had got a request for it by now :)

it is almost of no relevance in this case

and quite a poor documented platform. Furthermore I have no access to artemis by myself. So it is going to be a bit of challenge. But if think a little - i do like challenges :) So I'll see what can be done. But I can't promise you a fast sollution.

Ext ROM writeable

Hi Guys,

ANyone have ways to write to the Ext ROM and changes survives soft reset on the Trinity?

I need this as I wan to install anti-theft software on the ext rom....

Thanks.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] yegor:
I applied the patch, got the .ds message, and it said "Serial" at the bottom. I restarted the phone, hooked it up via USB, and tried to install the test rom.... it still says invalid vendor ID.

Do I need to do I need to do anything else other than run the exe file?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Des:
What exactly you have done ? This is not patch - this is patched bootloader by itself. You should do exactly what written in readme - run util, get bootloader prompt (tricolor screeen) (re)attach usb cable and run firmware update. No resets, etc. If you have done as described and got "invalid vendor ID" (wich is rather strange) try again, and contact me in pm if result is still negative. I'll think what can be done.

I just flashed my P3600 from the french ROM to the new DOPOD test ROM with GPS.

Everything went smoothly.

GPS is working fine. By the way I find the GPS very good. It is able to get a fix inside my flat when I am 2-3 meters away from the window.

My previous GPS was Sirfstar II, and was never able to get a fix in this position.

I don't own a sirfstar III but I would say P3600 GPS should perform somewhere between Sirf II and III. Still an upgrade for me...

G4 spl is seen on booting like :2.16.0001

while for a G3 there is no extension as mentioned above.

JAF uses No IPL/SPL technique so it can flash by creating its proprietery secure channel.

But one simply cannot flash any CE ROM on a G4 CID locked device.One can flash Ext ROM,Radio ROM may a boot splash but not the CE ROM.

I hope you can make it.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] Des:
@pe747, @mundanus

SSPL is intended for ROM flashing not for synchronizing contacts. And you are provided with clear instructions how to do flashing with it. So what for you are trying to connect it with activesync ?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] pe747:
Des,

I thought for the ROM flashing my trinity must be connected to the computer, where the rom flashing is executed. Am I understanding something wrong?

Didn't you say in your first post to (re)atach to USB and run the firmware update?

Tks for advice

edit: OK, I understood! Mundanus, what was missleading, was the rom update utility saying you should reestablish an active sync connection before updating. Just disregard it and click continue.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] ZakMcRofl:
Thanks a lot DES. I do not own a Trinity yet but I was planning on buying one as soon as it can be upgraded for free.

sspl override problem

Hi guys,

Hope someone can help me here.

My original ROM is the HTC WWE.

My original CID : HTC__001

My original SPL was 1.06 (I think)

I ran this SSPL utility and it appeared to work. Then when I tried to install the ROM upgrade, I had tried to do it w/ the nbh file from my SD card. The install started then kicked out just after a couple seconds.

Now my unit only starts up to the boot screen.

Screen info is:

IPL-0.50

TRIN100

SPL-1.07.0000

I'm worried I now have a case where my bootload version doesn't agree with any WWE ROM version for my CID. I've tried installed ROMs w/ 1.07 bootload version (via nbh from SD) but keep getting 'not allow'.

In case the mismatch I think I am seeing is really my problem, is there something I can do to reset my bootload version to one that matches a ROM for my CID?

Is there a workaround here?

Before attempting any of this, I had tried to connect w/ MTTY terminal (via USB connect... the trinity recognizes the USB connect on the boot screen) just to get familiar with some things but perhaps my com settings were incorrect because I could not get a response from the Trinity. Can someone elaborate regarding what specifically I might be doing wrong to get online w/ my Trinity using MTTY?

Thanks much in advance.

Jay
[P3600 Software Upgrading] RebelShadow:
The same thing just happened to me as well. the SD method DOES NOT WORK!!! just reload the rom using the original ship rom from your computer and it will boot again, then try again to flash the dopod rom from your computer this time and all will go well. I too thought I bricked my trinity but nothing permanent was done.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] jaysandkays:
Thanks for the reply.

So your unit would only startup to the boot screen?

Can you be more specific as to how I reload the original ship rom? How did you reestablish communications?

I ask because right now, my unit only starts up into the boot screen and when I try to run an upgrade that uses the upgrade utility through windows, it can't communicate w/ my Trinity.

If I could get online via MTTY, could I edit my CID so that it would match the ROM I'm trying to load into it? If so, how do I do that because MTTY only sees Com3 as available to open and that doesn't appear to establish coms with the Trinity that is connected via USB cable.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] RebelShadow:
After I tried to upgrade the rom using the SD method it restarted right after the update started and boot directly to the bootloader screen (3 color bars) and the IPL was .50 just like yours. Every time I reboot the phone it went back to the bootloader screen and wouldn't do anything else so I thought I bricked it. On a whim I connected the USB cable back to my computer and started the ship rom update (RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.exe). It started to load the 1.15 image and finished then reboot and everything is A-OK it boot to the original software and all was well. I restarted the SSPL again and loaded the Dopod rom from my computer this time and it worked. I am not reloading all my software onto the dopoded phone (loading TomTom as I type this).

Yep, that's what was happening to me.

[quote/]On a whim I connected the USB cable back to my computer and started the ship rom update (RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.exe). [/QUOTE]

I had to do something more or less the opposite.... I had the Ship ROM still installed on SD and so I unplugged the USB cable... but I also soft reset the unit several times repeatedly. I can't find any logic to it but it eventually stopped telling me 'not allow' and moved on to the ROM loading screen.

I still had to restore via the SD.

The reasons I was attempting via the SD was because the update application would always fail, telling me that it couldn't communicate w/ my Trinity. I don't have ActiveSync installed but in Vista there is a SyncManager that I suspected was interfering with it and so to make a long story short, I had to go to one of my WinXP platforms to finish the job and so YAY, I've got it done.

Thanks for the help.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] sup3rm4n:
tested it and flashed a HTC with dopod GPS enabled ROM, worked like a charm :D
[P3600 Software Upgrading] mrsmart:
I think this is just a work around (very smart work around) to bypass the bootloader, so SD method won't work, because the SSPL will be load up until the system boot up fully. So as the readme.txt said, we should start up the SSPL in the device and then flash the rom while the machine is attaching to the PC via USB. ;)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] oVan:
Can't get it to work...on 2 different machines:

* On Vista: I get "Error [260] : Connection", although the device is listed as "HTC USB Sync" in device manager. When I try to do a regular update, it does find it until the device is reset into bootloader.

* On XP SP2: I get "Error [200] : Invalid Update Tool | Please get newer Update Utility". I get the same error with the shipping rom, and even when no device is attached...

Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Edit: solved it with the Vista-info from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=291723
[P3600 Software Upgrading] JayRayMee.NL:
I get the connection error in XP SP2.

When I run the SSPL tool, the Trinity starts the bootloader, containing the ".ds", so that seems to be fine.

However, when I connect the device to USB the connection notification stays "Serial" and the PC comes with "USB device not recognized", which I believe is the reason the update utility can't find an attached device.

When I turn the Trinity in the 'normal' bootloader the connection succeeds....

How to work with the SSPL tool?

*EDIT* - Solved. I had to uncheck "Allow USB connections" in ActiveSync.

I now managed to flash the latest Dopod ROM and the GPS is working!! :)
