if you already downloaded it:

-disable all network (wifi, mobile)

-then you should go into the system app manager and search for play store, clear its cache. Then search for play services and click disable, and then enable again.

-go to the about phone tab in settings and search for a field named build number click on it 8 times or maybe more, there will be messages about developer stat or something

-now you activated a new settings tab, developer settings

-in there settings search for usb debugging, activate it

-plug your phone into your pc

-on the web search for something like minimal adb tools, there are commandline tools to connect to your phone

-Terminal:

-- (if on windows, its the cmd.exe(search it in the start menu)

--(on osx(mac) the terminal

--linux -> you know what I am talking about

-now in the terminal go to the folder you downloaded the adb tools, and run it with your phone plugged it: adb logcat

now on the phone enable network and go to the update tab, it will download

-in the terminal on pc search cmd+f/ctrl+f for http

if not successful I help you further

btw. if you don't want updates, just disable the play store services afterwards

you don't need them for the play store to work anyways

OK if anyone has an issue with LTE, grab a phone from a friend that was SOLD BY AT&T, put your sim in it for 5 minutes or so, and then put it back in your S60. I believe my LTE got disabled when I put my sim in my old Atrix 4G (HSPA) for several days while my S60 was being repaired.

Hi guys,

Slightly off topic but relevant in a way. I bought a S60 in South Africa from a guy off an ebay equivalent. Phone was still sealed in box as sold to him. Phone perfectly fine however, I have now tried the dual sim function and it is not working. I have contacted CAT phones and they say the hardware is changed by each retailer for either single or dual sim, which I don't believe. The phone has two SIM slots but it looks like the firmware is just for single SIM. I have confirmed this with another retailer in South Africa who actually import the phones and they say they can free of charge load the dual SIM firmware.

Problem is that I have now relocated to Australia so I can't have this done. Now I am looking for the dual SIM firmware. Any idea where I could get this?
[General Questions and Answers] drviver:
If we knew where to get any firmware from we would be very happy, but we don't contact the catphones uk or com support, they might know. And if you get it, please give us a link where we can download it.

Good luck

I'm surprised there aren't more people on XDA with this phone. It's durable (dropped mine on tile/concrete dozens of times, only some bumper scratches), has good battery life, it'd be great for the hipsters because no one has one, it has nearly stock android, and people seem to fall for the stupid worthless samsung gimmicks, so why not this one's FLIR camera (not a gimmick really but most people don't understand that)?

Unknown how to flash it as I can see any tools in the zip file
[General Questions and Answers] drviver:
for what I understand of android, and the CAT s60 bootloader, it doesn't allow flashing unsigned firmware. Which means if we ever want Root for this phone we need either Bullitt to sign it for us, or them sending out a signed unlocked bootloader firmware patch. As far as I know the telecom providers have the power to sign firmware, cause they can send out OTAs on their own

UPDATE:

I checked on the files in your archive and they are Qualcomm flash binaries. If one can enable diag mode on the phone he can patch any system partitions. The thing is, the cat s60 has no standard diagnosis mode, or more precisely I haven't found one yet.

Also, where did you get those files from? If you got these would it be possible for you to ask how to get into diagnosis mode or test mode?

UPDATE 2:

TOOLS:

QPST

QFIL

QualFast

EMMC DL

Flashing these files requires you to go to download mode:

Power off phone, connect the phone to your pc powered on pc, while holding down volume up and down, the screen flashes one time and then it goes black, now you are in download mode

Install the Qualcomm usb com drivers and you are good to go using one of the tools above.

To get out of download mode just press volume up, down and power button for sometime, or try any other combination if this doesn't work

How often do you guys just get a random hard reboot on your S60?

Mine has been getting worse and worse. It used to be maybe once every week or two. Now it's every other day, sometimes every day. It never just happens randomly, it's when I'm using it or immediately after I turn the screen off with the power button. But it's never the same app or whatever that triggers it. I want to do a factory reset but I'm so sick of having to re-type all my damn passwords.

new update just popped out for S60. Anyone have any idea what it fixes? cause it doesn't say specifics what it updates. i'm currently on 6.0.1 and the new update size is 86.8MB

it says

This update includes:

Some important security updates

Several minor improvements to the general usability

its like saying "we fixed something, or probably broke something else, what ever" lol
[General Questions and Answers] slimbobaggins:
I've stopped installing their updates, as two updates ago, they took what was a pretty decent quality camera, and degraded the quality with their update, and have yet to fix it since then.

As a matter of fact, the only noticeable change I've seen with any of their updates, is them breaking the camera. Otherwise, all other changes have been transparent. Likely just them closing loopholes as they find them, in hopes of preventing us from ever rooting the phone.

So... yeah, I'll hold off on the updates in hopes someone eventually roots this phone.
[General Questions and Answers] specnaz157:
hi guys, i've been following this thread for a past few days, I got S60 just last week and I have until Wednesday to return it if not happy with it. Now I love the phone, but the camera is just funny compared to my old S6 Edge , I have installed latest updates that were pushed by Bullit and now after reading this thread I'm seriously considering returning it if there's no hope of rooting or at least getting a Nougat on it to improve the camera. I will also say I threw the phone into the swimming pool on the day 3 of owning it for giggles with the switches set to 5M and waterproofing enabled. It sank to about 3m deep and I dived it out, works no problem!

Any updates on this thread? I've only seen on the other thread someone managed to do Caterpillar S60 FRP Unlock / Bypass / Removal

Hi guys

I have been following this forum for a few months now after purchasing an S60 for myself. It is a good phone with great potential.

I hope I am not bring up something that has already been brought up but:

When you enable developer options there is a setting in the menu that allows you to 'unlock the bootloader'. I am not sure if this does anything or if someone has already tried this. Also I have been working out why this is the most secure phone on the market

and I have come to the conclusion that Bullitt Mobile have a licence agreement with FLIR for the thermal imaging, and when we are able to root this device the software it will become available for cheaper manufactures to copy and implement into their cheaper phones. Anyhow I really hope we can get a root for this phone and my information is some help but anyway its my 2 cents worth.

Keep up the great work.

Does anyone else have issues with their camera giving pretty fuzzy pictures of anything nearby? When I take a picture of a landscape where the focus is say 15+ feet away, it works pretty well. But when I have to take a picture of something within a few feet the picture quality is just absolutely terrible, a few feet to 10-15 is bad but not worthless.

You pasted a large configuration file. I don't understand what you want help with.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

That is a default option on Android, which would allow you to unlock the bootloader if both the following are true:

Manufacturer has configured an ADB command to do so, and you know it

Manufacturer has provided you an unlock key

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Are you using the macro setting? Have you tried changing focus mode or using a brighter light? Are your hands shaky? I take a lot of small, close-up pictures as records during the course of my work. Usually what I do is just take 4 pictures then immediately view them and delete all but the best, because usually 1 ends up blurry.

Rooting cat s60

Standard Disclaimer:

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device.

Finnaly i try to explayn how to root.

I take twrprecovery from alcatel 6055k (thanks to Decker.su) im not developer and very goot for compile for android.Do some modifications and now is working for cat s60.

All files in links.

It works on

LTE_D0201121.0_S60_0.031.02 build maybe works other too i dont now(feel free to try)

Download files unpack files cats60files.rar there is boot.bin and recovery.bin.loader for programming (prog_emmc_firehose_8952_ddr.mbn) and rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml

Now download Qualcomm Snapdragon Flash Tool.7z its program for flashing the phone, what i try and working(i use another programmer earlier but that is commercial )

extract too

and SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip for rooting that version working,maybe other too but that i now kindly working

i think you maybe need drivers install you need HS-USB QDLoader 9008 drivers for programming phone.

Now do backup from you phone important files. never now whats happening.

1.Now power off phone(no charger no cable pc connected)

2.Press Vol+and Vol- one at a time 2-3 seconds and connect cable pc connected

3.Open device manager where you see when new device and install drivers

4.now open program called Qualcomm Snapdragon Flash Tool

5.select port an there not see port check show non diagnosis port,now you see that and choose that port click ok

6. select programmer browse and earlier downloaded files cats60files in choose (prog_emmc_firehose_8952_ddr.mbn)

7.now select build, browse to a folder cats60files

8.Load.xml then choose rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml

9.now everthing ready click download and wait when finished and its reboot itself

now you have custom recovery

when phone fully booted try adb reboot recovery or other methods like power off phone,then press Vol- and power button some seconds.like standart recovery.when you in recovery install that supersu before dowloaded(sorry i forget but that in external sd card).when finish reboot phone and stay calm its reboot twice after that when booted completely thats ok now do all standard things.

im told im not good for guidelines.
