Unable to flash images

Hello all,

So I have a Kyocera Duraforce by AT&T. It had the Lollipop firmware on it and I went to dd an image of an older firmware downloaded from the image mirror on the initial posting page. During the dd process (which I've done before on this phone), something had happened and the phone shut off and rebooted while it was mid-copy of the system image. Now the phone is soft bricked.

Note:

All of the key combinations mentioned in this thread did not get my phone into fastboot. I got my phone into fastboot by doing the following: at power off, press and hold VOL UP + BACK KEY + HOME KEY and then press and hold the power button while holding all of the other keys. Hold all of those keys for 4 seconds; release all keys and then press VOL DOWN and you should get the "powered by android" screen with the steady orange LED.

So, here's where I am running into issues:

I am trying to fastboot flash the images I downloaded and keep running into issues. I have downloaded all partition images from the three different versions in the mirror; I can flash the boot file without failure; however, anytime I try to write mmcblk0p21 (system), I keep getting these messages:

C:\fastboot flash system mmcblk0p21

target reported max download size of 1048576000 bytes

Invalid sparse file format at header magi

erasing 'system'

OKAY {time it took}

sending sparse 'system' 1/2 (1013032 KB)...

OKAY {time it took}

writing 'system' 1/2...

FAILED (remote: Unknown chunk type)

finished. total time: {time it took}.

Is there something I am doing wrong? I cannot get the system image written to this phone and it's really starting to give me a headache now. I've been slaving at this computer for the past two nights for hours and cannot get a system image written to this phone. Everything on this phone is stock, no custom recoveries or anything.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Leave it to Post #93 to fix my phone. Special thanks to thorn698! However, if anyone else is having trouble getting into fastboot, please see my above post for directions. It appears different models have various key combinations that work.

Thanks all for taking the time to read.

I have a question about the newer DuraForce Pro. Kyocera's developer page has open source downloads for the E6810 (Verizon) and E6820 (ATT) but not the E6830 (Sprint), which is what I have. Would it be worth it to try messing with those firmwares or just a waste of time?

Will this be the last update (5.1) for Duraforce ?

Almost a year and no other update, hoping for (6 marshmallow) but noticed the newest Version Pro already comes with marshmallow feels like this version is already dead.

Hey guys. Just bought my dad (68) the duraforce. He's extremely destructive when it comes to phones. This one got good reviews and was only $100 on Amazon so i figured I was with a shot. It's been good so far, but i was shocked at the amount of bloatware on it.

A little background on me, I have a galaxy s3 that i rooted and installed CyanogenMod 10 on probably 4 or 5 years ago. Haven't touched it since so I'm a little out of the loop when it comes to all things root.

All i wanna do is get rid of the bloat on the duraforce. It came preinstalled with 5.1 so no need to upgrade. From what I've been reading here i can gain root with an app called kingo. Once root is achieved i install SuperSU. Then install any bloatware remover from the play store?

Have i got that right?

Any need to do a backup? From what I've read, installing a custom recovery, and booting into recovery is hit or miss. Or is there another type of backup I'm not familiar with?

Any apps i should avoid removing? Basically, anything with AT&T in the name I'm going to remove. I'll leave the obvious system apps that are required for the phone to run properly.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I am stuck in a bootloop.

I flashed my e6560 with the instructions provided by thorn698 in #93 but that didn't fix the bootloop but it did make it start booting longer in the bootloop (before it didn't get to the at&t logo but now it does).

I am not sure what to do now but any help would be great.

Hold POWER + VOLUME_UP + BACK (forced reboot), and when it begins to restart, after vibration, count four to five seconds and release all buttons, dramatically holding VOLUME_DOWN — have to get to fastboot mode, which will be marked by orange light indicator.

It worked (my phone works now) but the flashboot combo didn't,

I got into flashboot by waiting until the AT&T icon appeared then held Volume Up, Power, and Back button until the screen turned black then let go of power button and starting holding Volume Down while still holding the other 2 buttons.

What i did before was turn usb debug on, and issue adb reboot recovery

that did nothing

Just reboots phone as if i normally rebooted via power button and reboot option, thats why i thought theres some "secret sequence"

It has some "special mode" as it has encryption options and no way that runs from "userland"

Aw no way without root is there?

My phone isn't rooted yet and i don't exactly trust kingroot
[General Topics] nugiedha:
just remember for bootloader (not recovery) if with button :

1. phone off

2. press power+vol up +- 4 sec

3. release all and press vol down immediately

4. you should on bootloader mode now

I've bricked my phone but manage to get into fastboot, unfortunately none of the images on this page seem to work so if someone could point me in the right direction id greatly appreciate it, the phone is a e6560 att version that was rooted in 5.1.1 before it bricked but any working image would be great
[General Topics] DevCake:
Has anyone had success with the E6810 Verizon version of the Duraforce Pro? Frustrating that I can't get it into Fastboot mode, I've tried every combination of buttons that people have posted. Many attempts at getting the ADB driver to work on win 7 and 10 with no luck. If I boot into recovery (vol-+ & power) and select reboot into bootloader it sits at the Kyocera logo and sits there. I've tried it with USBD and OEM unlocking on or one of those on and the other off in both flavors, no love. I need a custom recovery so I need to unlock the bootloader. Looking for anything to go on.

TIA

So is there a root for the verizon version by chance? Thinking of getting this phone.
[General Topics] thelastlokean:
I just successfully rooted my Duraforce e6560 (at&t) version I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on pretty much any device(mtk's, and other low support devices) that can be rooted with kingroot. Not kingoroot. This is also how I rooted my previous devices such as Blu devices with mtk cpu. (very limited root options, pretty much only kingroot.)

Step 1) Root with kingroot (use the version 5.05 you can find on xda NOT the newest version on playstore.)

Step 2) I used the pay version of Supersu-Me - it replaced kingroot with Supersu - my phone rebooted.

Step 3) I used root to remove the remaining traces of kingroot and lots of nasty bloatware.

I personally leave Supersu-Me installed - it does something at boot to make sure kingroot doesn't attempt to strike back... I'm also paranoid about losing root from rebooting.

It costs me $4, and takes a little bit of patience... But in the end I get SuperSu and bloatware free life on my device.

Btw, I am liking the Duraforce so far, for what I paid for it and how rugged it is - its not a bad device once its free from terrible bloatware.

I managed it by holding the power+vol up+ return combo till the screen turned off then releasing everything and pressing the vol down button as quickly as i could at which point the android logo pops up and the led glows solid orange. your battery might be too low though so google around for a script (like this one https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658084 )that will charge it by continuously rebooting it.

It's actually very simple to hardreset or enter fastboot. This assumes the phone is on or stuck in bootloop or has a password Hold the volume up + power + backbutton untill the device reboot then immediately it comes on hold the volume down release power buttons, now phone is in fastboot mode with orange light. Here you can do fastboot format userdata fastboot format cache

Tried this. Now I'm bootlooping.

I downloaded this zip, extracted it, allowed windows to install the drivers, then followed the instructions. Now I'm bootlooping. I can get into fastboot mode (power+back+volume_up, then switch to volume_down once the kyocera logo disappears), but can't do much more than that.

1) For now, I'd like to be able to turn the phone off so it doesn't annoy me with the AT&T startup sound.

2) Is it possible to get thorn's stock rooted rom to work? No matter how many times I download it and follow the instructions in the archive, I get the same bootloop once I type "fastboot reboot"

3) I'd like to find a stock e6560 rom so that I can use "fastboot update C:\this\is\where\my\rom\will\be.zip" and get the old OS back. Maybe I'm just not advanced enough to handle a rooted rom. Does anyone know where a zip file exists that can be used with "fastboot" update? All the zip files I have found so far have given me:

update package 'yourfile.zip' has no android-info.txt
[General Topics] OwenEverbinde:
Interesting indeed.

I decided for now to just leave it in fastboot. It drains battery that way, but at least it's not a threat to my sanity, (like the ATT startup sounds were, especially on repeat.) I'll try to solve this puzzle again in a few days. Hopefully then I can find a full restoration image or make my own custom ROM from the Kyocera source code (they did release the source code for their phone's operating system: I've never built a linux distribution from source, but theoretically, I should be able to do that using Android Kitchen.)

can anyone help me how to get a stock firmware for kyrocera duraforce for verizon

i google searching for this but i got no thing
[General Topics] br0adband:
I recently picked up an E6820 (AT&T) and it apparently won't get Nougat since I have the 2GB model - there is a Nougat update (OTA) for 3GB models but I can't even find one of those anywhere in an AT&T model. This is the AT&T page with the info:

https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...9?make=Kyocera&model=KyoceraE6820&gsi=Hl7ePLk

Now, I don't know if it's possible but I am curious to discover if it might be something where the OTA could be grabbed in some way and then patched to install on the 2GB models since those are the only ones I've been able to track down.

Does anyone own an AT&T branded Duraforce Pro that actually does have 3GB of RAM in it? If so can you share a screenshot showing it's got that much RAM, I'm just curious if such devices actually exist because I simply cannot find one anywhere on eBay or anywhere else either.

I like the device, I do, but I'm disappointed in just how slow it is. I've owned other Snapdragon 617 devices and none of them were anywhere near as slow as this thing is, and I've disabled everything possible regarding the AT&T bloatware. I am pretty sure it can't be rooted at this point and the one I have is still on the July 2016 security patch - I don't use AT&T so it's obviously not going to download any updates without an AT&T SIM card in it (I really hate that, I do, but there's nothing that can be done about it).

Anyway, a solid device, sure, but the slow response of it irritates me pretty severely. Because of the age of the last security patch I kept thinking KingRoot or perhaps KingoRoot (since they're two different things from what I can tell) might be able to root it and I could just remove the bloatware permanently but I haven't had any success in rooting with the latest versions of those two tools.

Ah well, I didn't pay a great sum of money for it but I am rather pissed off that there's a Nougat update floating around out there but the 2GB of RAM prevents me from getting it. That really does suck a big one IMO but that's AT&T I suppose.

If anybody knows how to get Nougat on this using that OTA and knows where to find it someplace, by all means, pass on the knowledge 'cause I'm sure it's gotta work better than Marshmallow does - or at least that's my hope. :)
