[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Talysdaddy:
It's obvious you're quite emotional still, over this episode. The trauma of an expensive new phone, losing most it's value in less than one second is disheartening, especially when it's due to your own fault..

Because of this it's clear that your emotions have clouded your rationale..

Are you really saying that paying $175 for a ~$800 replacement phone is not OK?

Wouldn't the $8/month insurance premium be irrelevant here since, you just bought the phone last week?

Although, this too is an irrelevant point, concerning insurance coverage, I thought it was interesting that you've, again, had it only one week, yet you've already paid half the phone off? Was this by choice or was your credit less than ideal for T-Mobile?

And l saved the best for last, is it safe to assume you had zero knowledge that a $175 deductible is required to be paid on any insurance claims, at the time you agreed to pay $8/month for insurance?

Hi guys,

I got my LG G4 2 week ago, and i started notice that if i shake the device, it has a strange rattle sound. I think it's coming from the vibrate motor, but i'm not sure. It's very frustrating.

Someone has the same problem? Or it's normal? Please help me! :)

[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Inspired by some threads in the Hermes and Trinity forums I started to explore the VOX bootloader. You can enter the bootloader by pressing the camera and power button at the same time. You see the tri-color (red/green/blue) bootscreen which shows the bootloader and CPLD version. In connection settings of activesync uncheck "allow USB connections" and connect PC and Vox with a USB cable. The PC will recognize the Vox and install an interface driver.

You need the MTTY to talk with the bootloader and send it commands. The Hermes wiki provides some good information and also has a link to MTTY:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader

Unfortunately the Vox bootloader (v1.16.0000) doesn't display help information. The first command you should enter is password. I found a password for Trinity and Hermes which also works for Vox:

password BsaD5SeoA

Here are a couple of other commands which work: emapiWlanEERW, emapiInit, emapiWlanMac, emapiPwrDwn, emapiRead, emapiTest, emapi, cpldver, DumpReservoir, CheckImage, calcrccheck, getdevinfo, ruustart, ruurun, progress, wdata, password, mbr, set, atcmd, ResetDevice, BTRouting, BTTestMode, SetDebugMethod, IMEI, ls, lnbs

I would like to find a way to dump the SPL and ROM to SD-card or to PC. I tried a couple of things (r2sd, d2s) to no avail.

Anyone else some ideas?

Update1

I got stuck in the bootloader and luckily found how to boot into the OS again:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1094479&postcount=11

password BsaD5SeoA

ruurun 0

ResetDevice

Update2

I discovered the 'ls' command. Afaik it allows to dump the rom parts like SPL, IPL, splashscreen when the device is CID unlocked. My unbranded S710 is SIM unlocked, but unfortunately not CID unlocked. When I issue 'ls' there's a "not allowed" error :(
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Update3

I found a 'good' VOX ROM upgrade (the ones on the XDA FTP are all corrupt): RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2R4_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship

Another upgrade ROM is the Dopod:

RUU_Vox_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.19.707.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship

I used NBHextract.exe to extract both ROMs. The SPL bootloaders are attached.

NBHextract shows following info for the 1.15 Vox ROM upgrade:

Device: VOX010100
CID: HTC__001
Version: 1.15.405.2
Language: UK
Extracting: 00_IPL.nb
Extracting: 01_SPL.nb
Extracting: 02_GSM.nb
Extracting: 03_MainSplash.nb
Encoding: 03_MainSplash.bmp
Extracting: 04_OS.nb

and this for the Dopod upgrade:

Device: VOX010100
CID: DOPOD001
Version: 1.19.707.3
Language: USA
Extracting: 00_IPL.nb
Extracting: 01_SPL.nb
Extracting: 02_MainSplash.nb
Encoding: 02_MainSplash.bmp
Extracting: 03_GSM.nb
Extracting: 04_OS.nb

Update4

I managed to back up my S710 using itsme's "bkondisk" tool and "prun" from his itsutils suite here and here. Copy bkondisk.exe to /Windows on your device.

After running this on your PC

prun bkondisk.exe "\Storage Card"

following files are created in \Storage Card and a log file "bkondisk.log" in \

bk_00_0000.img - IPL : ONBL1 + ONBL2
bk_02_0005.img - GSM + splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs
bk_03_0025.img - OS
bk_06_0001.img - SPL
bk_08_0205.img - userfilesystem

I compared a couple of these .img files with the .nb files extracted by NBHextract from an official RUU. The IPL and SPL look quite okay, but the OS is mapped totally different. So don't think you can just rename for example bk_03_0025.img to OS.nb in order to have a flashable file !! I have attached my dumped SPL which is version 1.16

Next mission is to find a 'good' (not corrupted) version of the RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Test.exe ROM upgrade. See this Excalibur thread. I think the same applies to S710 :)

Update5

With Dark Simpson's htc rom tool here it is possible to create a flashable image file from separate .nb files. There is also Dutty's good NBHtool 1.1 yet, but so far I haven't tried it.

What we still need to have for flashing unsigned ROM images is a SSPL. See here and here.

Alternatively we need a so called Update SPL (USPL) which unlocks CID and then allows flashing any rom to your device. The version for the ELF created by the brilliant moderator pof can be found here. Since the ELF is very similar to VOX, I will study it and see if I can use it to implement a SSPL (software SPL) which allows us to also flash any ROM, but does not require to flash an USPL. I think flashing IPL and SPL is a bit too tricky atm.
[HTC Vox] pof:
Take the Elf USPL, remove the RUU folder (to be sure you don't flash anything by mistake), in the LOADER folder change the .nb file for a Vox bootloader (different version than the one on your device) and use the same name for the .nb file, then run elf-uspl.exe on your PC.

If elf & vox are so similar, this should jump to the bootloader you've placed in the LOADER folder, to check it disable activesync usb connections and go into bootloader with mtty. Do an "info" command or whatever identifies that the bootloader you're seeing is the one you've placed on the LOADER folder and not the one actually on your device.

If you succeed in loading a custom bootloader I can help you with the don't check cid / don't check signatures... patches :)

Good luck!
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Thanks for replying pof. I did as you said and tried it with spl 1.15 (whereas 1.16 is flashed on my S710). First I went through step1 and then went in to step2 where at 75% the screen got blank and it rebooted the phone in my native bootloader 1.16 RUU mode. I suppose that's not what we wanted to see?

Cant Find The Bootloader For The Life of Me

Tried:

"You can enter the bootloader by pressing the camera and power button at the same time. You see the tri-color (red/green/blue) bootscreen which shows the bootloader and CPLD version."

No Luck. I must be thick. Its gotta be just that easy... but...

The S710 simply boots into my home screen.

Can someone PLEASE post a (little) more detail about how to boot into the bootloader on the s710/vox?

THANKS.

Cheers.

** EDIT **

OK- Better bootloader entry instructions for SP noobs (like myself):

1) Turn device off

2) Unplug power/usb cable from handset

3) Press and hold camera button

4) Plug power/usb cable into handset

5) Be amazed by Blue-Green-Red Bootloader screen.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Yeah, it won't boot in bootloader mode if the usb cable is connected. Well, it's sometimes better to find out things all by yourself ;)

Besides, I don't think anyone other than myself is researching this stuff on Vox. Too many ordinary users and nearly noone in to h*cking.

You don't have 1.04 on your phone by any chance?
[HTC Vox] 850mph:
RE: older bootloader

No joy.

Sorry.

Its 1.15

My SP has vanilla mods.

Its just out of the box the last 4 days in NYC!

The phones not even available AFAIK in the US yet-- except special order.

Got mine in London last week.

Still working out the kinks.

BTW:

Im looking for info/docs/someone who has forced GSM codec through WM6 to this handset through Asterisk LOCALLY-- Asterisk SIP logs show successful codec negotiation and initial start of audio delivery-- but the stream pukes out on my handset immediately-- ideas? Im begining to think it may be a cpu issue. Thanks.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Yeah saw that. I don't think it's a CPU issue, could run GSM codec just fine on a stone old iPaq. Try trunning omap overclocker and set it to 240MHz and see if it makes a difference. Keep using the SIP thread for any replies on this ;)

POF's O2/Nova Solution

jockyw2001-

I suppose youve seen Pof's post #89 (dated 4-8) in the "ELF Update SPL (USPL)" thread which calls for running enable-rapi.cab (on O2 Nova) BEFORE elf-uspl.exe?

Id try it myself but want a few days of joy with my handset BEFORE creating a potential brick.

From my reading if the elf-uspl.exe makes it to 75% in stage 2 before white-screening-- you're close (well, 75% anyway.. wink!). Seems like Pof could have a couple of suggestions at that point. Maybe hell be kind enough to comment?

You're on it.. but I thought Id ask.

Cheers.
[HTC Vox] 850mph:
Heres something I am trying to work out-- even after many hours of reading:

I understand that there is an exploit in the 1.04 bootloader which can potentially bypass CID and Certs when flashing a new ROM image on both SPs and PPCs..

I also understand that bootloaders 1.09+ cant be downgraded.

So am I right in assuming that potential VOX ROM-chefs have at least ** TWO ** potential paths to solving the bootloader issue:

1) Find a 1.04 bootloader **AND** a tool which will load it successfully

-- Then use the exploit (which I read about-- but cant find) to flash the ROM

-or-

2) Find a way to Flash **ANY** bootloader onto the vox with elf-uspl.exe

-- Then (keeping our fingers crossed) elf-uspl.exe can be patched to defeat the CID&CERT issues with the vox

Now heres the question:

I am right in assuming that we **DONT** need to find a way to flash **SPECIFICALLY** the 1.04 bootloader onto the ROM **BEFORE** we can take advantage of a patched elf-uspl.exe?

Is that correct?

Cheers.
[HTC Vox] 850mph:
Oh yeah.. AM I right in assuming that the WM5/6 bootloaders are EXACTLY the same code (except for dated revs) across all WM SP and PCC devices-- sort of like the ability to install grub or lilo on **ANY VENDORS PC** no matter what OS or eventual Software Packages end up on the box?

Looked at another way:

When they talk about the 1.15 bootloader in the Blue Angel Board they are talking about the EXACT SAME 1.15 bootloader in the VOX board?

I mean, I know this is gotta be the case but I need a little reassurance here-- As Im still a bit confused on why PPC software should run on SP devices-- even understanding that they use (generally) the same subset (WM5/6) of the CE5/6 API-- But have different CPUs.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
850mph: cool to see there actually are brothers in arms :)

I've tested pof's USPL extensively, but haven't got it to work (yet).

Actually you need to run enable-rapi.cab only if your phone isn't yet application unlocked, i.e. if it doesn't allow to run unsigned apps. Mine is application unlocked so I can skip that step.

The next step is to load a modded SPL in RAM at physical address 0x10000000 and to run it. Once this modded SPL is running another modded SPL can be flashed.

I've tried to load an unmodified SPL in RAM (e.g. SPL 1.15) and to run it. This can be done with following 2 steps:

1) psetmem.exe -f -p 0x10000000 spl.nb

2) run haret.exe on device (can use cecopy & cerun); cerun -b CE:\haret.exe

Note: haret.exe is a linux kernel loader which was modified by pof to run a USPL from 0x10000000

What happens is that my phone reboots into the stock bootloader (SPL 1.16) in RUU mode. I have to use MTTY in order to boot the phone in WM again (see post #1 and #2 in this thread).

Actually I think haret.exe does run the SPL 1.15 which is loaded in RAM, but that at some point the code resets the device.

I'm quite sure we can run a specially prepared USPL or SSPL which allows flashing another specially prepared SPL such that the device is effectively CID unlocked which again means that any vendor's firmware can be flashed. I also think we don't absolutely need the SPL 1.04 for that purpose.
[HTC Vox] 850mph:
This is good info.

I see what you are trying to do now.

Im gonna take some time to get up to speed on Dumping/Reading/Flashing from the Trinity Hermes and Elf pages. Until then Im afraid Ill be of little use.

Until now Ive strictly been a Linux/GCC-guy. Im tempted (but not convinced) that I want to take the time to learn Microsofts WM5/6 IDE. Its a time issue (obviously).

But I will spend some time on the whole S710 ROM-cooking (and bootloader) issue this week. It looks manageable.

I see you have basically been mixing and matching the various ROM cooking tools-- including using Msofts CE powerToys. Is there no single suite (besides the ImagefsTools) which you can recommend I look at first (With the understanding we need to solve the bootloader issue specifically for the vox first)-- I see various kitchens for various devices. Do any of them see plausible as a starting point for an HTC/Vox kitchen suite?

GOOD LUCK.

Cheers.

** EDIT **

I REALLY think the S710/S730spec are GREAT devices-- couple of minor issues-- but just fantastic form-factors.

new in the sandbox

Hi guys,

I just got my XPA 1415 some days ago (for info, it's just the same than the others (HTC S710, SPV E650 and Vodafone V1415, VOX, ...) but from Swisscom (Swiss provider).

I've been reading around and found this thread that was the most related. I actually tried to use the techniques provided by jockyw2001 with no luck.

Doing a prun bkondisk does not work, neither any of the itsutil tools. I do think that my device is somehow protected, but I've no clues how to proceed next. I'm going to continue searching, but if any of you has an idea, it's more than welcome.

If I manage to dump that *damned* ROM, I'll make it available...

I've currently (on booloader ONBL 1.23.0000, SPL 1.23.0000, CPLD 04)

Cheers,

Nick
[HTC Vox] nwaelti:
Nevermind...

I think I've been able to proceed with the backup (I've used the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager) when I realized that my system (Windows 2003 x64) the tool was not working.

Which made me think that maybe the procread and the other prun bkondisk might also have been blocked by the x64.

I've tested on my laptop (regular XP) and it works fine... just FYI !

** EDIT **

I've also tested the ELF haret with a downoaded SPL and I got the same result as jockyw2001...

BTW, jocky, did you find a way to re-create a proper nh from the bkondisk end result (bk_##_####.img) ?
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
The IPL and SPL are useable. The radio dump called bk_02_0005.img is from offset 0xA0000 identical to the radio rom. The first 0xA0000 bytes are other parts, probably splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs. The OS file seems not directly useable and must be reordered somehow. More interesting is the ROM reconstruction method described here. Of course first we need to be able to flash unlock the Vox. I think the SSPL is most suitable for this purpose, this may need some reversing of the SPL with IDA Pro.
[HTC Vox] nwaelti:
Thanks for those info, I'll try to go in that direction. Would be nice to find which one is splash, which one is gsm and the others below 0xA000.

I know we need to rev. SSPL. Don't exactly know where to start though I can't flash mine with any original ROM as Swisscom is not providing any.

BTW. viewimgfs gives me back a "packing DLL not found" (or some similar). Anyone had that also ?

I'll try to download IDA Pro...
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
It's below 0xA0000 ;)

I will do some testing again with the Vox today. I will see if I can paint the screen with a few instructions @0x10000000

I think I can not just run the SPL on VOX in the same way as you can on the ELF. The IPL on the VOX is 128kB, whereas on ELF it is only 2kB. So I think I will have to patch the IPL and run that first. I'm afraid that it will take a bit more time. Basically it will then be a SSPL (search forum for SSPL and user 'des') with both IPL and SPL patched and running in RAM.

But maybe it is also possible to patch just the SPL, because it could be that the default action initiated by IPL is to reset the device in RUU bootloader mode.

Given some time it can all be done I'm sure :)
[HTC Vox] nwaelti:
If I would start playing with bytes with IDA (which I've started to do right away) what would your advice be. I've currently LOADED the SPL of the original RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2R4_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship.exe. (This won't work for me as an update, but anyway)

I chose processor: ARM processors: ARM.

Do I have to enter anything special in the "Disassembly memory organization" window ?
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Yes, I'd start with 1.15. Simply because one expects the least #protections :)

(The SPL and IPL of test and ship ROMs are identical). I would also examine the differences between the stock SPL of ELF (Touch) and the USPL version made by pof. Actually I would start analyzing these first. You must download the ELF Dopod ROM and use NBHextract and then splsplit.pl to split the NAND type SPL file.

The physical load address is 0x10000000 and the virtual address is 0x8C000000

ARM CPU is just fine.
[HTC Vox] nwaelti:
I probably don't have the correct disassembler, I've only DCB instructions when opening the SPL file, or I'm doing something wrong.

What exactly is a NAND ?
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
If you load at 0x10000000 and create a RAM section starting at 0x10000000 with a size of 0x4000000 (64MB) then you can start debugging with IDA Pro. The first instruction is an unconditional branch to 0x10001000:

B unk_10001000

NAND is a kind of flash memory.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#NAND_flash
[HTC Vox] nwaelti:
Still not... :(

Could you you please go on http://htc.waelti.net and have a look at the 5 pics and tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Don't create the ROM section for now (uncheck). Then it will bring you straight to the start of the RAM section @0x10000000. Once you select that address press 'C' and IDA will convert the bytes to code. Then you can doubleclick the label loc_10001024 and it brings you straight to it. Strings can be converted to string labels by pressing 'A'.

Try to find a tutorial on IDA Pro basics in the net. You will get the hang of it very quickly.
[HTC Vox] nwaelti:
Ok, got the point... It looks more like code here...

Thanks a lot
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Oh, I just figured out that the RAM section in IDA Pro should be defined at the virtual address 0x8C000000
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Pof helped out, he recommended to use the loader (haret.exe) from the Artemis USPL. And indeed it works, we can now load a modified SPL on Vox :)

I think it won't take long now to come up with a full-blown USPL for Vox allowing us to flash any ROMs :D

A proof of concept is attached. Unplug your sd card and reboot your device. Establish an Activesync connection via USB cable. Open a DOS window in the directory where you unzipped the attached file and then run uspl_vox.bat

Only for those who know what they are doing and who like to experiment. Don't blame me when you brick your Vox. You have been warned!!!!!
[HTC Vox] nwaelti:
What a wonderful news

What a wonderful news on this rainy morning...

Thanks a lot for the help, pof. I'll test that right away.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
I examined the few patches which pof made to the original ELF SPL and which together constitute the ELF USPL. Now it would be nice if we can find similar code snippets in the Vox SPL and apply similar patches :D
[HTC Vox] pof:
Great job jockyw2001! :D

If you need help patching the SPL let me know, the hard work is already done now :)
