Great. Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be getting an M9, depending on the deal they offer me. :)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirwolfUK:
One thing I have come to realise is that EE is very slow to release firmware OTAs so if you plan on being very current you will have pay $25 to get s-off via the Sunshine app
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Yeah, I'm reading that you need s-off to flash other regions firmware. I haven't had an HTC device since the original Desire, so I'm out of the loop.

I assume there's a guide to all this in the general section somewhere, so I've got some reading to do before ordering. :)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
I know you should avoid getting Sony handsets from EE or any retailer except for three as they have their boatloaders locked out. Htc on the other hand is fine and should always be.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
My Xperia Z (C6603) came from them as an unbranded unlockable handset, so I was lucky with that one.

I got the M9 from them in any case. Just haven't had time to even unbox it yet!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
That is lucky, for me I inadvertently did a work around.

With my Z1 I flashed the DRM partition (can't remember it's name) anyway, i ended up with a brick, wouldn't even charge, so instead of sending it back through EE, i sent it back through carphone warehouse, good thing is, I got a brand new boxed z1 in black instead of white (which is what i wanted) and not an EE version of the device so i could unlock it fully, best thing about it all is it came back in 3 days :D
[Testing] Jurij.Fedorov:
Hi... I think an app like this could become very popular in most countries. I would use it a lot. What I want to do is to be able to see what streets I have been on and what streets I have not yet explored in my city. I bicycle a lot so this would make my trips much more exciting while being extremely simple at the same time. In due time I could visit all the places in my city and even share the map with other people. It needs to be precise and maybe even have the ability to find the streets and take the route to them - and not just logging a GPS route.

Could I present the idea to anyone willing to actually create the app? I can't make the app myself I just want to use it.
[Testing] Yearapp:
Actually sounds pretty cool. You can also include something like how much % of your city you explored. Rank with your friends. "Complete" cities!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neofreek01:
I know ive heard that knox is here to stay on the note 4 forums but the galaxy s6 has root without tripping knox i just wanted to start a discussion on this matter and ask the simple question....

If it can be done on s6 why not note 4 ....

Now ive already tripped knox and probably dont care if i ever have a clean knox but i know there's plenty of people who would love to root but cant because they need knox... I just dont see how it can be as cut and dry as the note 4 forums have portrayed. It can be done obviously so is it a lack of necessity becuase so many have already tripped knox that they just arent interested in working it out or what.

I kno its been talked about before but not that ive seen has it ever been rationalized that the s6 has it why not us
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
why does knox even matter? most of the CS reps dont check KNOX and it isn't required other than for business purposes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neofreek01:
Well thats exactly where it does matter to the rest of us its absolutely pointless we don't care..but I've seen at least a few threads of users asking about it. So it has to matter to some users. And hell usualky just the thrill of the chase is reason enough to modify something to suit our needs after all isnt that why we all root and mod our phones , becuse we can..

And ultimately just interested in why it hasnt been done yet. Seeing it usually done on most other phones.. Plain curiosity i guess. Because it doesn't matter to me i would never utilize anything knox offers
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
Note 4 is not S5 or S6. Its different with a lot of scripting things. Not sure about this whole "chase" thing you mention. A lot of us here aren't into being criminals or feeling a thrill out of it, just wanting to modify our phones and have freedom to do so. Has nothing to do with being able to get away with it, etc. Retaining KNOX would be nice, but I don't think that's why a majority of the users are trying to do it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neofreek01:
I have no idea where your taking things but way out in keft field obviously
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neofreek01:
I know exactly why we all mod our phones ive been here for quite a long time i never said anything remotely close to anything' criminal and am annoyed at someone implying i was. And as are all mankinds endeavors these are a challenge we rise to becuase we can thats what i meant. You really should be sure of the lines your reading in between before implying things
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neofreek01:
I was merely interested to know why its not been done in the note which is the most business savvy of all the galaxy line and you would think since knox is a corporate or business feature for the most part tthe business oriented phone would be the one to do it to
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
Michael Scott would be disappointed in you
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcb1:
My note 4 has a tripped knox, the GPS seems to be defective and since I'm not with the t mobile, I can't take it to the mobile for warranty. Samsung wouldn't take it, Or would they? Anyone have experience?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android_Monsters:
Odin to stock + factory reset has worked for us every time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanmato:
Simple answer: The Galaxy S6 had a kernel exploit, the Note 4 did not. You cannot just will an exploit into existence, you either find one, or you don't.

Also, for wanting or needing knox intact on your phone for business needs or whatever, you will want to be aware that rooted S6 users with intact knox will have to stay on 5.0.1

forever

, or until a new exploit is found. I am sure any smart businesses incorporating knox would ask you to kindly update your S6, saying bye bye to your root.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynospectrum:
T-Mobile don't care about knox being tripped.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mattthev:
Hi,

I was looking for developer who can make kernel (would be awesome also a rom) for MTK6592 especially for Doogee DG550. If you don't have DG550 never mind. Owners can buy you one. We will be so grateful.

Here is kernel source:

https://github.com/tpruvot/MT6592-KK-KERNEL

Thank you very much.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] m@nish123:
i can build bt is abv kernel source nd drivers for dg550 ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mattthev:
Hi man, would be awesome. Are system img and boot img enough for you?

I posted it here:

http://www.needrom.com/download/dg550-kitkat-02112015-blackview-dm550/

It's just rebranded DG550 and it's better than original rom by Doogee (causes battery draining) and they also fix time from internet and other stuff...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Traace:
Well, all MT6592 are "ALPS". AFAIK

Please provide proper LCM Driver, etc.

As i have the same device i'm very interested.

Files u provided are way not enough for a "simple" build

Currently i'm running this Phone at stock kernel with DarkL privat port. It gives me up to 5days battery on moderated use. So the stock dg550 Kernel is fine already, at least on the battery side ofc

However in my opinion there is no reason why somebody would donate a developer this phone. It cost around 135€. People would have more benefits if they just buy a new, cheaper and more powerful phone while dumping this one.

If u like a good Rom, u can still try port cm12.1 from mt6592 plattform. We might just miss steps in ramdisk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mattthev:
I've contacted Doogee on some e-mails so be in touch. They post on FB post about developing roms for their phones. Does anybody know if they truly pick someone from XDA or 4pda?

Could some one please compile TWRP 2.8.7 or 2.8.6 for DG550? I tried but no success only boot loop :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Traace:
They dont share source. U can use stock Kernel and build cm around. Like few guys here.

Please just read the forum :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Traace:
Wonderful, thx.

Well it ain't boot(didnt pass vendor bootloader logo) on our Devices Doogee DG550. More than me already tried

Port from mt6582 to mt6592 works fine on first run (:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mattthev:
Yeah, it doesn't work at all. It was working on previous updates. They changed /data to 3GB that could be the problem, isn't it? I was working on flashable rom but it didn't boot. Even I use files from backup in TWRP, it must be problem with META-INF files.

Yeah other recoveries may work, but TWRP is best now like CWM few years ago. I can't even port 2.8.1 with that MTK tool on the newest rom from Blackview.

Also do you know about more complex tool for root checker? I have still problem I was using Super Su 2.46 but can't install busybox, so I used KingoUser and it was working but sometimes it stop working and I have to update Su binaries manually. BTW I don't like KingoUser, the Super Su is much better but doesn't work as it should on this rom. On my P4 5.1.1 working just fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Traace:
my data is 8gb// ebr1 ebr2 .

what u mean, that previous version of cm12 kingzone worked on dg550?

The update script itself works fine with philz

For busybox i used "smartinstall" on Dark L Rom with dg550"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] m@nish123:

Could u do me a favor and check if my ramdisk is different from other mtk's?

This thread is now retired, a direct convert CC to OEM is done successful so please check that:

http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-cc-variant-to-oem-convertion-t3149767

****** Following is orig thread ********

Now official release is out, and I'd like to start this thread to show my plan and the progress.

So far, we did not see anyone have CC can update to L. And also a official B148 full flash image is there, addition to B309 image. so, if anyone done that on CC, then this task is useless, so pls let me know if that happened.

My plan is to develop the twrp script to repartition system to 1.8gb, I found some doc already, will post below, then after testing that works fine, I will publish here.

See this post for more info

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61585912&postcount=398

But it is still in early stage, and I have daily job and off school kids, and need put phone back to working state everytime, so the progress maybe slow.

Also, any suggestions or questions are welcome.

Warning, repartition is very dangrous in nature, so if want to do it yourself, you should know what you are doing.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Right now, to minimize the risk, we only need re-orgnize the last 3 partitions. The boot and recovery partition is increased to 64M, but the old size is good enough. I already tested the 12M boot image (cut from 5.1)can boot fine.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
Looking forward to help with testing.

BTW, When trying to flash the TWRP backup we had of the beta, I did get a sizing error on the BOOT, independent of the SYSTEM sizing error.

Here is a pic.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
All the best xordos, you're our saviour !!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
That expected, as it is image, so 64MB wont fit in 12M partition. I checked the useful part is less than 12M, so after trim the image to 12M then flash, it still boot fine. But this is my init test, I didnot get chance to actual downgrade to 148, will reconfirm later
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] resansid:
Thanks xordos for your efforts. We will look forward to updates but I do have one question that bothers me. Why do we have to modify partitions again when this was already done on previously converted CC devices to OEM version.

For people who have it converted to OEM from CC earlier. Shouldnt they be able to flash the lollipop update just like all other OEM folks?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
So far I think it is a partial flash, system and a few other partition is flashed to B148, though about page show B148, but it is still CC. At least huawei dload updater refuse to upgrade those phones.

I think there is some where hidden huawei found out it is still CC. I dont have this phone, so I can't do much.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Xordos, you are very kind to help the CC users. I have already mashed your Thanks button.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kostyan_nsk:
Xordos, you're moving in wrong direction. It's better to find a way to convert CC to OEM completely.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
The question is do you have an idea of what it takes to convert CC to OEM or are just thinking that'll be the better way to go ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kostyan_nsk:
Yes, I have and I'm trying with ArkAngel06. But without success at this moment. Things would go better if xordos could provide me data from his device, but he ignored my PM...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tdamocles:
I can see where xordos is coming from... The Nexus 6 has a few carriers and they have slightly different versions for all but what they have is 1 zip version for all the carriers.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
The main problem we are having is this:

We are trying to flash basically all the partitions that changed from CC to OEM to try and have the update.app see the CC as OEM.

However, b148 doesn't have an update_vendor.app file, and yet I get this error when flashing.

Error

Proof that it's only update.app in dload folder.

I did a search on the whole phone for update_vendor.app and it shows nothing. Ii formatted my SDcard and made just the one dload folder and it still says the update_vendor.app error. There is also definitely nothing on my internal SDcard either.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Hehe, no I am not ignoring you, I didn't check PM until just saw your post, sorry.

Yes, i can share oem partition to you as long as it is not published. If we can convert CC to OEM, that will be perfect solution. I will upload after work. I am in us central time.

Again, as discussed last time, I am still not comfortable share that to public, call me super causious.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Huawei update.app extractor will show you why. The model number is embedded.

It is possible to make a universal flashable zip that will do it. Just as any CM rom does.

It will overwite your EFSl SO someone needs to make a flashable CC rom as well in case anyone wants to go back to stock.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kostyan_nsk:
Don't pay attention to update_vendor.app anymore.

There are two variants: recovery renames update.app to update_vendor.app or it's just fixed error message whatever update.app or update_vendor.app is.

---------- Post added at 22:50 ---------- Previous post was at 22:34 ----------

If anyone else has OEM device, still runs B148 and wants to help, then your help would be very appreciated. ;)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] resansid:
Can we not extract whatever files or partitions needed from B148 image (rom) itself. I believe that has been publicly posted already. Is there anything specific that changes on the actual device after flashing. I would think all the files and device ID's can be extracted from the B148 image file that is available?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kostyan_nsk:
Shortly: no, it's not!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Take this with a grain of salt. If what they said to Bobo is true, you'd be better off waiting, probably.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] resansid:
But the CC model they sold is MT2-L03 how come this user has MT2-L02.

Could it be another CC variant? Mine certainly is L03.

Why do we have two variants?

Taking it with a huge grain of salt. I'll believe that when I see it.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
What method did ArkAngel use? Did he convert to OEM or repartition? Please share with us.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
Basically we made images of a lot of partition images from an oem device, partitions not usually available to TWRP. Flashed them onto my phone and made update.app see my CC phone as an OEM phone so the b148 update flashed like normal. Then from there you can flash lollipop like an oem phone. The official lollipop update.app changed my partition sizes like it did for all OEM phones.

There are far too many steps, and a few things we are still looking into before it can be shared. It should be out soon.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] resansid:
Thanks alot. Great effort Arkangel. Hope this works out so we all can upgrade to lollypop.

Great work. Can you pls double check the IMEI stays, especially after upgrade to B309. If the IMEI is good, then that proves I am just too cautious. so feel free to publish the oeminfo partition if it is needed.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kostyan_nsk:
@xordos, yes IMEI stayed the same. I was not replacing whole oeminfo partition, just two binary 16-byte sequences and one string.

There's some doubt about S/N, but I almost sure my patch is not related with it somehow.

As @ArkAngel06 is already on Lolipop, I need another guy with CC variant to complete testing and exclude possible redundant steps.

So, if you are TWRP, adb/fastboot friendly and want to install Lolipop in further, PM me. ;)

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Hey, usually I feel if something is working/not broken, I will be lazy and don't want to touch it :)

But anyway, need clarify, do you mean to build one twrp image that works on both JB and L? or still 2 imags, but can support restore any backups? If it is for latter case, I didn't see in what scenario that is needed. The cross version backup (include user data) usually can not be used anyway since the major version differance.

edit, never mind, just saw you released the unified version in another thread. :thumbup:
