Hi everybody

Thanks for your super site though im a beginner as you ll see !

Im a happy owner of a french sfr s 300_htcp3600 since two or three days now

Ive been wondering through the site about the thing for 2 weeks while waiting for delivery and i m getting quite confused:

1Let me tell you about my beast: rom 1.231632 02/08/07

radio 1.29.00.01

protocole 3262 7020 06H

2 Though i saerched on this very complete site i still dont understand what is rom radio and protocole (!!!)

3 I caught that there are ways of improving the beast by easy but risky ways of tweaking it and that the rom and radio are different things

4 My "problems" are:-- i still got win 98 on my pc so activsinc v 4.2 dont work so i manage through the mini sd card

-- Im not sure i need to upgrade to wm 6

Before tweaking anything im searching the site but still didnt found a clear and precise anwer to these questions

thanks for help

Hello. I just flashed and recovery my 6503 with root, unlocked bootloader and custom rom. ( http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/z2-pre-rooted-twrp-3-0-0-2-xposed-t3390498 )

it's works nicely for now. But i got a notification about a system upgrade ( same build number idk why). I cancelled it. But i don't know exactly what i must. Can i upgrade? what can do damage my phone or software? any upgrade or app?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hariskh:
whats the size of the upgrade.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenero:
193,7 Mb.

23.5.A.0.575 my build same already.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hariskh:
Dont update it most likely you are going to get a bootloop. I suggest disable software update through lucky patcher
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
If your rooted or have a modified system stay away from OTA updates as they won't work. Disable your update apks thru an app like titanium backup and just follow links to your favourite custom ROM.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moman2000:
I am guessing your using the eXistenZ 3.5.0 Rom so It is probably because you have a kernel that isn't based on the same build number therefore the system thinks your on a previous firmware ( I had the same issue and I came to this conclusion, as soon as I flashed the appropriate kernel it went away). Just discard the notification and disable system update related apps in titanium backup.

Hello all.

I am going to visit US (Auburn Hills, MI) for 1 week for a buisness trip and I'd like to get the chance to get a Pixel C. They don't sell it in Italy yet.

My idea is t go into a physical store and buy one but it looks like the device is only buyable via Amazon/Google Store. Correct?

If I can't get it from a physical store, is there any chance amazon delyvery the good to a "focal point" where I can go and collect?

Best regards,

Giovanni.

those?

Hi,

Other than the Nexus, Galaxy or the Moto, which are costly brands, are there any companies that issue regular security patches for android?

I know google finds and fixes holes every month but most manufacturers don't pass it to consumers.

LG G2-3-4 are supposedly excellent phones which fit the price criteria (especially second hand) but unfortunately their updates are very rare and concerns mostly usability.

Prerequisites:

Odin 3.11.1- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451

5.1.1- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53454972&postcount=1 (Use first link for OI5)

Kies- http://www.samsung.com/in/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/ (To backup data. Use Kies 3)

Samsung USB Driver- http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117

NOTICE: Do not use this guide to downgrade from OC4 and above to NCE, you will brick your device. Only use this guide to downgrade to compatible firmware's for example: PA3 to OI5, PA2 to PA1, etc..Do not attempt to downgrade back to OC4 as ATT blew a qfuse. You can only downgrade to OF2 and above. This may brick your device and I am not liable. This does not trip the KNOX flag. This will wipe all data so do keep a backup.

Download the firmware you want for example OI5 from the link above. Extract the file to a directory. Then launch Odin and go into the extracted file. Select CP,CSC, and AP(PDA on Odin 3.9 and below). Do not select the BL slot. I repeat do not select the BL slot, only use AP,CP, and CSC. Also in the options tab select only Auto Restart and F. Reset Time. Turn off your phone and hold power button, home button, and volume down button. Then once it says flashing a custom firmware may..., press the volume up button. Then plug in your phone and you should see blue, if you see yellow install the USB drivers. Once you have plugged it in and the correct files are selected, press Start. This process will take about 5-10 minutes depending on the speed of the USB. Do not unplug the cable while in this process. Once it says PASS at the top, the phone will boot into recovery mode and apply the update. Once the phone has applied the update, it will reboot and be stuck at the AT&T logo. Do not panic, this just means that it is working on the operating system. This will take about 5-6 minutes. Once this is done proceed to setup the phone as usual going through the entire setup. Once the setup, is finished you can then restore your data using Kies if you had a backup. You have now successfully downgraded your phone:D. This process could be used to root our devices because we are exposing security holes that have been patched.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pr3dicament:
I just want to go from PA3 to.... whichever one will allow root access. Warranty possibly needed. I need to make sure this will work because.. otherwise.. my sister's phone could blow a fuse (****ing boot loaders..) and go dead.. if i can get around the warranty flag then that would be awesome. Sorry.. just not sure how to handle it; can't find people who are reliable and say it can actually downgrade without bricking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Your best option would be to downgrade to OI5, which the link is provided in the OP. Downgrade, and then try rooting with Kingroot. The vulnerability which works is CVE 2015-1805. Otherwise if Kingroot doesn't work for you you could try iovyroot, but that needs an absolute kernel address. Try searching on Github for CVE 2015-1805 . Sorry can't post links, I am a new user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pr3dicament:
Kingroot/KingOroot was what I was about to try. I'll grab OI5, maybe just the kernel, hopefully? .. I just hate removing it, and not with SuperSUme .. never worked for me. When it comes to Kingroot, I just would rather remove it manually, I guess.. plus SuperSUme didn't work on my tablet when I tried to use it heh. There's a post somewhere with instructions but all you do is just keep a daemon running while you uninstall and then install the other, while partially keeping root before it gets the binary and updates from SuperSU.

Will post results when I can. I dont want to downgrade the entire thing if i can quickly avoid it.

^ You can say it; even a post on here has it. It looks very promising. I downloaded OI5 but didn't get a chance to flash, will tonight or tomorrow.

The following could not find a known exploit for the specific OS.. Failed with the following: Kingoroot, Kingroot, and vRoot (aka iRoot) .. then I checked here to give updates .. and upon re-reading your post.. I noticed you also put iovyroot, made from an exploit based on CVE-2015-1805, as the post says. It looks EXACTLY like saferoot lol.. I can deal with temporary root, I'll take care of the rest to make sure it stays.. I'll be giving more updates. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.. I made sure all of my ADB drivers are installed correctly, as well as enabling USB debugging and doing a few things in ADB to make sure they are working and they are. RSA now saved.

My sister's phone still on PA3.. I'm glad she listened. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. I'm sure many others will appreciate this as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Greek2me:
Did you make any progress on this? I just rolled back to OI5. Now I need to figure out how to get the correct address and compile that code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua_nope:
So, I just got this 900a AT&T phone and it already has 5.1.1 installed, which already hasent the mega locked down bootloader, correct? Everywhere else I've looked for a root method has said you CAN'T downgrade. I don't know much about downgrading or what version I can downgrade to. Can I get a bit of help or explanation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
You can't downgrade back to 4.4.2 once you are above 5.0 . This method explained in the OP is to only downgrade back to OI5, and possibly OC4. Not NCE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] darrel12:
Do I go by baseband or build number?

because my baseband is OC4 but my build is OF3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Go by build number. For you it would be upgrading not downgrading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pr3dicament:
Ugh it was forced through to PA4.... unbelievable. I don't know if I can roll back to OI5 with PA4. She always wants her phone back right away.. I'm sorry about the lack of time in between responses, but I have to back up her crap anyway one way or another if I'm rolling back. I wanted to try and just roll back the kernel and then give kingroot and shot. An RCA Tablet that I got about 8 months ago for $35 at Walmart wasn't able to be rooted for the longest time since it came with LP 5.0.1.. I finally was able to root that.

I think I'm the first to do it. Voyager Pro. I use FlashFire with recovery for it.. sorry, off topic.. but that exploit was very useful in that instant.

I will see what I can do to roll back.. my life is literally a mess. I don't want a bunch of people saying poor pr3dicament or some stupid ****. Oral cancer, early. Cutting it out... and then (more) awful pain after that. Second recurrence. Didn't spread. Procedure tomorrow. I'll just grab her phone and say I am fixing a bug for security or something to make sure she shuts the **** up about it. No guarantees. If I can roll back from PA3 or PA4 to OI5.. not sure if another went through.. I think it did. .. but if I can roll back to OI5 with no problems or even just the kernel to root it... even temporary root.. full root.. I have a few current binaries that it'll work with.

I temporarily rooted the RCA and now it's fully rooted with the binary I use in place... I am probably going to just write a script to make it easier if it works. Again, my apologies for the length between responses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] invert_nexus:
Well, all I can say is that if you're successful, then you'll be a hero.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Greek2me:
Yes, I rolled back from PA4 to OI5 using this guide.

I can do the root if only I can figure out how to extract the kernel from the stock OI5. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Just PM'D zxz00 for help on this issue. He's developer of iovyroot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
You can use Package Disable Pro to block OTA updates without root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pr3dicament:
Yeah... the kernel is all we need... after that, we can get in.. almost positive on that. Please remember that this isn't even my phone I'm talking about. My sister is a little stupid and just acts like she can't let me have it for a few minutes.. I will take your vouch and go for the kernel only.

I might be looking to do this very shortly, but here's how it was done with Odin.. not sure if it'll give the same result nowadays. It should.. it's an extraction. I didn't look through the entire process, I've been very busy, but from what I remember.. you download a stock rom and use 7zip or WinRAR and extract boot.img and convert to .tar for ODIN, place it in PDA/AP (Depends on version of Odin)

If this does NOT work, please do NOT be surprised and do NOT claim responsibility for the above. That is just what I remember doing not too long ago for S4 debugging. I know this is an S5.. so.. grab the OI5 zip/tar and extract it, then find boot.img and convert it to .tar. If you screw your phone up.. it's not my fault. That's all I can do at the moment.. Her phone is on her right now, so.. just trying to help. If this is incorrect or wrong, my apologies. There's some youtube video where it kind of shows you if you don't understand... the guy is hard to understand so turn up your volume:

I completely forgot about that..

God I feel like an idiot now. Thank you for that. When she comes home I'll disable something for her so that she will come to me with the phone with her problem :P Again--thank you for reminding me, and the rest of the community, about this app. I was always just keeping cache full to the point where it couldn't force it but dumb little sister thought disabling automatic updates on the Play Store was the same thing as not letting AT&T force it.

lol.. either way, I'll just try to remotely install it via her google account.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

Yeah... I thought maybe converting boot.img to boot.tar etc would work or something.. usually people mean boot when they say kernel, and kernel when they mean boot. There's many levels of booting, and that's why I just posted that youtube video in there. I did that a long time ago but this was before sbl1, 2, 3 (etc) ... so really i dont have an idea. I do know that you can roll back though.

If you get no response, I'll try asking. I hope I was correct.. I do not want to be seen as illiterate..

eh forget it lol if you get a response from him that is similar to mine than that'd be great. I actually want you to confirm that with him or any other developers before moving forward with a simple kernel downgrade because that could potentially cause trouble.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Got a reply from him, going to copy and paste it.

Yeah I've requested a pull from it before.. I got nothin'.. you could call me a halfassed developer but nothing like most of these guys.

I'll take another look.. I'll try another pull.

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Oh wait a minute. Now I see why he pointed you to 1. You're looking for an *ASBOLUTE* kernel address..

Can't pull now.. ****. It's all closed. Either that or my brain had a mass that I do not know about. Alright well that exploit is already passed along.. we just need to roll back to OI5 or bust. That's basically the short answer.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

For the record.. When I used iovyroot via adb the other night, before PA4... It wasn't happy that it was "64 bit" but I can't believe I missed that.. it was right in front of me and I just did not see it. I am so so pissed. She had to take the phone anyway, I didn't get a chance to enable ADB over TCP/IP... @#)%*@%$ God. I was one line away. One.. ****ing.. line.

I'll just go get broken S5 for a few bucks and replace the motherboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
I compiled for 32 bit using ndk but it won't work without absolute kernel adress.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pr3dicament:
Hm. Did you try a rollback yet or kernel rollback? anything like that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
What do you mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pr3dicament:
Flashing OI5 kernel with Odin or just literally using the OI5 firmware in full... unless I'm just wrong.

One way or another I'm gonna have to do some emulation to debug this further and maybe try a few things so it can be narrowed down (both on OI5 and PA4)

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

Honestly I just am about to start throwing every single one-click-root app at it and see which one takes first.. Kingroot was supposed to be able to root.. that isnt hard to replace with supersu, whether it's manually done or with an app to get the latest binary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
I flashed the whole OI5 firmware with Odin as explained in the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pr3dicament:
Yeah I just noticed that. I'm.. getting pretty slow the past few days. I keep missing things. It's just a bunch of personal crap. my bad about that. I could've sworn you mentioned that you wanted to get the kernel on its own--flashable.

and I'm also going to end up asking or saying the same thing often, try to not get too agitated with me.

That wasn't you... that's why you're wondering what I mean. Yeah this isn't good, but um.. i was told try Kingroot, the latest one.
