Hi, thx for answering. I did it anyway so i can confirm that sim2 is working after reflashing firmware. By "unbranded" i mean bloatware free OS that came from factory before it shipped to resellers. To clarify, i bought mine in tmobile croatia, and sim2 was disabled by few lines of code, got tmobile boot logo, stupid tmobile apps preinstalled....etc. now phone is working like a charm, and it is dual sim.

thx once more

[General Questions and Answers] Pibble:
So, the patched recovery is based off of mister DeckerSU's great work on rooting the Alcatel Idol 4 6055K, be sure to check his github if you get a chance... That being said, I noticed that it was somewhat haphazardly ported for the S60...

While both devices are essentially the same base device, they are different OEM's and slightly different hardware and software.

Im extremely grateful to [MENTION=244398]cesarq[/MENTION] for all the effort he put into this, I was just wondering if he or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me as to the patch done (I really dont feel like probing myself for the data) and the modifications to the Alcatel recovery to get it to even try and boot, much less successfully...

Im really wanting to see if I might be able to get OEM unlock of the bootloader, or possibly a more "tidy" method of privilege escalation that doesnt leave so many variables unknown.

Or at very least attempt the mitigate the whole "2 OS's 1 device" situation it causes.

[General Questions and Answers] nigxxx:
i did it on win10 normally. so does the dual sim works or what?

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

@Ing.King i forgot most imortant feature...sorry my bad...you must enter win10 test mode, so it can install unsigned drivers.... use this, than reboot, and then repeat whole process

Enable Test Signing Mode

Windows includes a “Test Mode” or “Test Signing” Mode feature. Enable this mode and driver signature enforcement will be disabled until you choose to leave Test Mode. You’ll see a “Test Mode” watermark appear at the bottom right corner of your desktop near your clock, informing you that Test Mode is enabled.

You’ll need to run a command from an Administrator Command Prompt to do this. To launch one, right-click the Start button or press Windows+X and select “Command Prompt (Admin)”.

Paste the following command into the Command Prompt window and press Enter:

bcdedit /set testsigning on

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ff553484(v=vs.96)

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

so, you can only do it under win10 test mode, when you finish all succesfully, you just use command to exit test mode, you will see it by the watermark on desktop

sorry one more time
[General Questions and Answers] Ing.King:
Thanks again, phone is still single sim, nothing happened due to the error.

Cat S60 Band Issues

Hi, I flashed my CatS60 from single to dual sim and everything worked fine. I is rooted with TWRP .

I am however having an issue with the cell bands. I am not getting the same reception. I am trying to open up the bands but I cannot get the phone to respond properly in QPST it will show all the comm ports but displays as "Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download)" . and I cannot see the phone or ESN number,

I have verified the drivers are correct.

Are there dial codes to ensure the phone is in diag mode, or are there some settings I need to change on the phone itself?

Any help is appreciated

Hi CADis666,

Just make sure you are set proper 2g / 3g or 4g for respective SIM card 1 or 2 via:

CAT S60: TWRP restore renders device unbootable

Hi guys,

just for info, last week I bought the S60 from a local store in Germany. First thing I tried was install TWRP and save the current state (LTE_D0201121.0_S60_0.038.00). After that, flashed SuperSu and everything seemed fine. Later I saw that I lost SafetyNet compliance. So I decided to restore back the original backup from TWRP. After the restore, the phone would not boot (just showed the start screen and stayed there forever). So I did a bit deeper investigation and like to share the results:

The phone uses a block-based verification of the data in the /system and /boot partitions. Therefore, a file-based backup of either one of these partitions will destroy the integrity and render the device unbootable! Partitions must be backed up blockwise ('dd'-like) and not content/file-based. Don't know how to do this yet, cause the current TWRP (anyway, thanks for this work) does not offer to save images.

So I did a re-flash to stock 031 following the instructions in this forum. After flashing 31.02, the phone went into an endless boot loop. Flashed the update to 032 without problems, phone booted correctly, offered an additional update, but this installation failed. Tried to flash the 033 update without success due to build.ro.fingerprint mismatch (string was truncated). Meanwhile, I found a direct ugrade from 032 to 038, so I flashed again the 031, updated to 032, and could successfully apply the patch to 038. Now, everything seems to be working again, still looking for a safe way to save and restore the actual state. Any hints or solutions are greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] huhunakuama:
Hi, peeps :) Me and a couple of other guys on this forum have the S61 and there seems to be no progress made on rooting it. The section has only 2 threads about the new S61 model for over a year now and over there are just some guys scratching their heads looking for a solution but nobody has even a slight idea what they can do (me included). Since some of you made rooting the S60 possible and likewise- the hardware seems to be not so different between those two models I had to ask if someone could be in any help making this possible. Thank you and hope we make some progress soon :) P.S. Just tell me anything that I can do to help this happen and if it's in my power- I'll do it, I don't want to just stand by reaping benefits to other people's hard work. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!

Flashing with Linux:

System: Fedora 32 x86_64

I.) Preparer the sdcard

format the sdcard in fat32

copy update032.zip, update033.zip and updat035.zip to the sdcard

II.) Install qdl

git clone https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/qdl.git

<------>Warning! ***** Battery 100% full !!!!! ********* The flashing needs time

sudo -i ( needs root in the Linux )

dnf -y install libxml2* libudev*

cp qdl /usr/local/src

cd /usr/local/src/qdl

make

make install

systemctl stop ModemManager

This is important stop the ModemManager!

And please be patient, it takes time to transfer the dates to the Cat S60! Repeat: Battery has to be full 100%!

III.) Flashing.

1. With ADB Sideload v32, then clear data/wipe cache, click restart, let the phone boot up until it says choose language.

PWR & VOL+ into the Recovery

Wipe cache partition

Wipe data/factory reset

Shutdown system now

2. Flashed Stock 31.02 with qdl

VOL+ & VOL- & plugin the USB-cable into the pc (at the top right corner, LED blinking red and the display is dark.)

qdl prog_emmc_firehose_8952_ddr.mbn rawprogram*.xml patch*.xml

<------>The phone will be reboot after the flashing. Turn off the phone and continue withe next steps

3. Repeat the update you SDCARD all v032, v33 and v35.

PWR & VOL+ into the Recovery

Apply update from SDCARD

update032, update033 and update035

4. Reset to Factory default, wipe data/cache ( first step ).

Wipe cache partition

Wipe data/factory reset

Reboot system now

5. Flash cats60files-recovery-nobootpatch from qdl (without reboot after flash)

VOL+ & VOL- & plugin the USB-cable into the pc (at the top right corner, LED blinking red and the display is dark.)

cd update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch

edit the file rawprogam0.xml

change filename="recovery.BIN" into filename="recovery.bin", exit and save the file. In the linux console, will not open the file revocery.BIN - sensitivene!

qdl prog_emmc_firehose_8952_ddr.mbn rawprogram*.xml patch*.xml

6. Reset with button

And wait the phone is booting up, maybe has boot loop.

And here in my case, dose not working:

* Wifi without of function

* And the updates0**.zip will not installing with the TWRP or with the original recovery. In the TWRP, ends with Error 7.

By the way: In the first post, from adtbm - he ask for the update038.zip. I hav it downloaded it, and I can provided the update038.zip.

Because I need help for recovery the Wifi and the installation of the updates. By the way the sideloads, tells me the same error. And I look at the webpage form the autor of the TWRP. All in rusia language, and I don't understand this language.

[General Questions and Answers] Robbie P:
ADB works for me on windows 7 with that driver. Device shows up.:good:

edit; perhaps it is due to your "minimal" ADB and Fastboot not having that command?

edit2; I think the command is "fastboot oem unlock", without the -go.

edit3; I also think you need to toggle the "allow oem unlock" in developer options BEFORE fastboot oem unlock. I have toggled it and in the bootloader screen it still shows the device state as "locked". But at least you have given permission for it to be unlocked.

edit4; remember to backup what you can first, eg titanium backup. Super backup (call logs and texts) then copy all photos, flir pictures etc to external sd (and/or pc) then remove sdcard before trying oem unlock (a full wipe occurs). There is a tutorial here https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Template:Unlock_Bootloader which confirms the toggle step first. I think I might give it a go, need to do a bit more reading first ;)

+1 for rooting the S60

My friends and colleagues tell me wonders about the alternative firmwares they use on their phones.

I'm having several complaints about the behavior on this phone. So sorry in advance for the rant below.

I know very little about Android OS, but coming from 7 years of iPhone use, I recognize the following major flaws / limitations:

- The screen sensitivity is killing me - I can't have the phone in my pocket as it will behave like crazy if anything comes up, like a phone call. The other day this phone called 911 while in my pocket, which was an interesting experience.

-- This absolutely requires locking with pattern/code. Also requires locking immediately when turning the screen off. And you have to make sure you have it off before it goes into your pocket.

-- Can't turn the screen on for notifications, because touch sensitivity will keep it on 'forever'.

- Lack of notification control

-- APP BADGES - this is a must. I've seen people with this functionality embedded in their Android OS...

-- Single notification showing '12 unread e-mails on account abc@xyz.com', instead of showing up a proper notification for each new e-mail (sender, subject, first line of message)

-- The same happens with missed calls, text messages and so on, it just shows the summary info.

-- Connectivity with my Garmin "smart-watch" (this watch is barely smart, but still) is horrible because of this. The notification info isn't useful at all.

-- With my old phone the most frequent thing I did was it would vibrate, automatically turning the screen on --> I pick it up --> see notification --> decide if it needs immediate action --> back into my pocket.

-- Sliding the notification doesn't always behave the same way. It's supposed to slide away, but sometimes it opens the app. Honestly I can't tell how it works exactly.

The screen sensitivity alone is driving me crazy and it constantly triggers an urge to get rid of the phone for good.

That popped up a while ago via G__gle search.

I'm not really inclined to try it myself:

- That website has the exact same instructions for a lot of models (it's like having a layout and just changing the model name),

- It doesn't say anything at all that leads you to believe it was actually tested on that specific model,

- I don't know the site myself, never been there before.

So you don't really know what the apps will do to your phone and/or any data on it.

[General Questions and Answers] Unr3aL67:
It's a scam and there are many other sites like this one stating they can root every device with "just a few simple steps", not just the S60...

They're pretty much hunting for those people who think rooting is the same dumb thing as jailbreaking and treat alle Android phones as equal.

If you've ever rooted any device, you'll instantly notice this process is shady as f*. First step is downloading 4shared... Seriously?

If you don't want your phone to become a malware-infested hackernode-type of brick, I'd strongly suggest to not even think of trying this.

If a site like XDA doesn't have a solution for you, it's unlikely that a 3rd party idiot techsite does...

After all, XDA is the source of most solutions.
