Thank for Your post.

Like i said i did root but the solution after wiping data partition was little bit different than yours. I try explain.

First of all for sure wifi working is to:

1 wipe cache davik

2 flash rom file S60_31.02.zip delivered by cesareq (just extract all files in zip 1,5Gb) and use QFIL 1.0.0.2 from previous links

3 now you got stock rom , so use ADB sideload and update 32 patch via it

4 use the tips from Openminded post , with delete boot.bin and modify rawprogram0.xml , files in cats60files.rar

5 when phone boot dont go to boot process because you will have to do step 4 again, just go superfast to recovery and install supersu

After that you should have root and working wifi, cheers!

Hello there,

thank you to all here for trying to clarify that root procedure but we need even more correct proper "step by step" guide about how to root cat s60 properly eg. at first we need to flash that customized twrp recovery to be able to create full backup of the actual phone state with all setting and installed apps/firmware which we can revert back anytime as needed and then with no-fear we can create root...coze this is at this time for me really unclear and therefore i dont want to try root ATM please anyone here [MENTION=757157]this[/MENTION] thread-it is this possible-to create "better guide" for us?

Thank you in adance
[General Questions and Answers] CDMCCDMC:
i have a quick question. i rooted my S60 with files in this topic. but i didn't applied that update.zip file, witch was like an update, latest version of the firmware? i do have an update that is ~80MB in the update section in the settings. if i update thru that, will the root disappear? or i need to flash update.zip on to the S60_31.02.zip an then root it? so far the phone is working fine and root is working perfectly, so i kinda don't want to touch it cause i already have it setup as i want it to. should i just stick to the "if it an't broke, don't fix it" thing?

so far what i did was:

1. flash twrp recovery cats60files.rar

2. format the OS, after that it said no OS installed (i did not made a backup. MAKE A BACKUP, don't be stupid like me.)

3. flashed S60_31.02.zip using Qualcomm Snapdragon Flash Tool

4. did a factory reset with cache and davik cache wipe

5. flash twrp recovery cats60files.rar and did a factory reset with cache and davik cache wipe

(phone boot looped, got stuck on the cat logo but in the end it booted)

6. then installed SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip thru twrp

Wifi and everything else is working fine. in the start when i first flashed twrp (step 1.) wifi didn't worked. so then formated the OS completley deleting it and flashed S60_31.02.zip (step 2-3.)

it was a headacke cause first atempts it didnt boot, or boot loop. but as long as twrp worked, i didn't care. i just kept on flashing over and over and in the end it worked. i read that others also had to reflash it few times and do factory resets over and over, but it worked. how ever, i did NOT flashed that update.zip file.

PS. be patient when the phone starts first time after flashing. sometimes it can boot loop/restart few times and then boot normally.
[General Questions and Answers] TheNetwork:
Did anyone ever have an issue with their S60 not wanting to update? When I got my S60 back from the service place I immediately updated to a pretty old patch, and now I'm trying to update again (not sure which version but the download is something like 650MB), but when the phone restarts it just hangs at the white CAT screen and does nothing, I have to press the reset button, then it gives me a notification that the update failed with a tip "Make sure you're near good wifi and have at least 50% battery", this has happened 4 times now... I don't know what to do, I want to update because I found the FLIR camera is wildly inaccurate right now and I'm hoping an update will fix it.

[General Questions and Answers] Lukas Farber:
Yeah... the Cat S60 is awesome

Hello all,

Long time lurker on the forums. I have been able to achieve root and I absolutely love the phone (My previous six phones were Casio C811s and before that i had a handful of the Casio Commandos, C711 I think)! I really don't see why it isn't more of a mainstream phone. It is tougher in my opinion than the Casios and is considerably faster and the battery life is also better. I have started tinkering with it and am currently trying to figure out the tethering and wifi problem. (I was able to get it rooted up to Version 33 with the wifi working but I had to reflash while I was messing with the wifi tethering). I will attempt to get a logcat while it's in a boot loop so I can see what is happening on startup that is causing the wifi problem. Is there anyone more knowledgeable on the subject that can assist?

Update: I was unable to pull a Log while she boot looped. But just as others did I just kept at it trying different combinations until I got it to stop boot looping. I think it was an error with the version number as it stopped when I loaded the update to 32 from the stock recovery.

However, I was able to pull a LogCat from ADB as soon as TWRP was flashed. This was the first flash that WiFi didn't work.

LogCat: drive.google.com/open?id=0B19PcTe6qmpOYTdXNnpLdWJ3OW8
[General Questions and Answers] OpenMinded:
I was able to update to 0.033 as followed:

- make a TWRP backup if you want to be safe and restore data, and save it on an external source

- check the instructions at : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73296402&postcount=163

basically flash the 31.02. the reboot recovery and sideload the 00.32 update I posted.

(I also posted the 00.33 zip, but for some reason the release keys are not updated until reboot)

- reboot , setup and you get the update after you connected to wifi : download and let it reboot - it will run the update and reboot

- I got some message if Google can scan for malicious software, after that the usual setup and then I am at 0.0.33 (see baseband and build number under about phone

- now flash recovery again that I posted before (without patched boot), reboot and make sure it doesn't go to normal boot (because you will lose twrp)

- then flash the 2.82 supersu and you're back

Anyone working on some ports yet :)?

Files from folder "cats60files". Download failed. Next I tried "cats60files-recovery-nobootpatch" files.. the same result. Before all, phone in reset factory default. Download mode OK, red led flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] james35888:
OK, I found the system update comes from google play services. It is easy to disable google play service, but lots of side effects.

So just disable notification of google play service, then you will not see system update message on status bar. Ver31.02 is enough for me.

thank you friend! I'll try it over the weekend. Also miss dll.....
[General Questions and Answers] OpenMinded:
It was cesarq who rooted initially, I just improved it so it works on other firmware versions and does not break wifi ( which was because of the boot partition being flashed with one that was a patched 0.032.

Incase anyone missedd it, here are instructions for updating to the latest version ( 0.033), it should apply to all future versions too:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73844389&postcount=247

WIFI not working after flushing update033.zip ?

I went along those instruction, using the original recovery from post #163. No error messages. After booting everything seemed fine until I noticed, I could't activate the WIFI module.

So I repeated it, flushed back firmware, update032.zip, no problem, update033.zip, everything ist fine, flushing recovery und root - wifi not working (again).

The first time I used the update033.zip from previous post, the second time I waited for the OTA.

As long as I stay with the original software, everything is fine.

Will try a third time.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

edit: My mistake - third time worked, I need to read instructions more carefully.

This time I made sure, I used the right files (OpenMindeds cats60files-recovery-nobootpatch.zip), that from (Post 234). Just if someone makes the same mistake.
[General Questions and Answers] txb142:
Hello. I am trying to root the US version of the s60 that I think matches what lamasgt has. I tried a mishmash of things but not having much luck. I mostly followed tusch00101's guide. I put all the files listed into C:\ and then later tried putting the files from cats60files.rar too with no luck. If I can understand how to root this phone I can write a very detailed pictorial style guide.

Need to sleep soon so for now I'll start with a picture and a log, and share more as needed later. Qfil gets to a certain point and hangs. Here's the log.

[General Questions and Answers] tusch00101:
Sahara-Server not able to locate your flushing-files?

Hi,

maybe I expressed myself not right in my instructions, sorry I translated my windows-setup (windows 7) into English.

I put the flushing-files in the same directory as where the QFIL-program is located (C:\Program Files (x86)\QPST).

I don't know if it's your problem, but your sahara server seems to be located at c:\work\QPST\bin\

And it seems that your sahara-server is looking in the root directory of your drive (c:\) for these files (which should in theory work if they are located there).

So I would try to put my extracted flushing-files (prog_emmc_firehose_8952_ddr.mbn, rawprogram0.xml, ...) in

c:\work\QPST\extracted_cat_files_you_name_it\

When I do it like this in my setup and give QFIL this as the working directory, I get in the output-log a message like:

SEARCHPATH:C:\Program Files (x86)\QPST\extracted_cat_files_you_name_it\

So you should get a message like:

SEARCHPATH:C:\work\QPST\extracted_cat_files_you_name_it\

Don't ask me why, but that was the only setup, that worked for me. I spend hours finding that out.

(credit: http://appnationconference.com/video/yIwkx5CFRFKo)

Give it a try and good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] txb142:
Cool it worked. The reason I put the QPST folder outside Program Files (x86) is because the windows 8.1 with the surface pro 3 is very strict with permissions so it was easier to just move it. I first did try one of my windows 7 machines but it is pretty messed up and wouldn't install unsigned drivers even if forced.

The biggest thing was that the files to upload are to be placed at QPST\name_of_folder. Since I didn't understand what you were saying before I put the files in QPST\bin instead.

Sold my CAT S60 and I'm happy I did. It was the worst phone I've ever owned. You're paying for a $150 chinese phone plus apparently them deciding a FLIR camera is worth $450 on top of that. The only thing I can say I liked about it was it was waterproof and the screen never shattered, I break every screen on every phone I owned, except the S60.

Servus Weltherrscher,

thanks for the Tipp. The problem is, that i am running with Telekom and i will get (want) the s60 with my contract extension and i think the german Telekom s60's have the second sim disabled via firmware.

But after i have went through all the posts here,i am quite certain, that i should be able to root it AND get the second simslot working AND remove (if this is/would be neccessarry) the T-kom branding. (No clue if anyone over here has the german Telekom version of the s60 and can confirm, that it is branded (or not)).

Like i said, i will post my progress...

... i have ordered it today, so it should arrive soon. With my 2-year contract extension i pay only ~260€ for it.

Since i still have a working Note4, i do not have any worries, to fiddle around with the s60. even if it would break.....

@ Openminded or Cesarq:

i know (if i am correct), that atm only the stock ADB sideload is working. If i try to sideload via TWRP recovery, it kicks out Error 7 for update 32 and 33 as well.

So i have successfully flashed the 31.02 and stock-sideloaded the 32 update and the 33 update. but when i then apply the

recovery from Cesarq (for getting TWRP) i am loosing WIFI.

What am i doing wrong ?

Going from 31.02 for root, i don't have any problems. works like a charm. But i am not getting the .33 in TWRP recovery to load SuperSU.

[General Questions and Answers] techspy:
I hope you guys are still following this thread. So I got an S60 from my work but it belonged to an ex employee and was locked etc. So I performed a reset via recovery and then got the BS about having to enter the previous account info first. Obviously this is not an option. Long story short I followed cesarqs info on a custom recovery and root, which worked. I was trying to then install the stock rom that cesarq linked to with the flash tool. Well, it is not detecting the phone correctly via USB now. It shows up as an ADB device when the phone is booted and as the s60 when in sideload mode but both are yellow in device manager. I tried installing the S60_31.02.zip from the SD card from the custom recovery but it fails with "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary". My build version was LTE_D0201121.0_S60_0.032.01 instead of "LTE_D0201121.0_S60_0.031.02".

Can anyone tell me how I can get this thing back to a stock, clean rom?

Thanks

Edit: I am trying ti use QFIL to try flashing S60_31.02.zip but I can't find a driver that will allow it to be detected in QFIL. And should I be in sideload or in bootloader mode?

Finally got it. Had to hold volume up and down with the phone off, then plug in usb. I was then able to flash. Then it got stuck in a boot loop. I then flashed custom recovery and was able to finally boot. Oh, and I am up to date with version 35 and root still worked etc.
[General Questions and Answers] adtbm:
Hi, above poster:

you're missing the correct ADB drivers. in principle you need two sets of USB drivers. one to get the phone recognised in download-mode and one to get it recognised in recovery mode (adb).

I have updated the following procedure in a new Thread here. (Corrected some typos, etc... . Sorry iam not native english speaking.... ;) )

EDIT: i have removed the guide from this Thread here now completely, since i have updated, my Guide here now extensivly. So please check there for rooting instructions.

Not sure what you mean about "Unbranded". I installed the "D" version of the Cat ROM on a single sim phone, and it works. The second SIM is already assigned an IMEI even though it's not printed on the door, so you don't have to do anything illegal to turn it on, it just works!
