How To Root T-Mob variant on 5.1.1

Rooting this device.. I'm on 5.1.1 with it currently and since no compiled exploits are around that I could quickly find I attempted KingRoot. I was able to root it using the latest Kingroot PC app. Even though it said device not adaptive it rooted successfully. I unrooted and tried the apk and first attempt failed as usual.. second attempt succeeded. Removed KingUser, all remnants of KingRoot and replaced with SuperSu. Installed SuperSu into /system. Now the tricky part here is timing.

1) Download WolffDroids SuperSu replacement files. I used the latest download (slightly different script). http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html

2) Download ES File Explorer and go ahead and run it and make sure its open in the background.

3) Follow WolffDroids directions - Copy over the files from WolffDroids zip (folder named mrw) to /sdcard/ and make sure these files indeed copied.

4) Follow WolffDroids directions - Open Terminal Emulator and run the script.

***Read the next steps before executing. It's crucial that you do it as quick as possible else you risk chance of the CoolPad handset rebooting. If this happens do all steps again (minus copying /mrw over to /sdcard) but do 5-6 quicker!***

5) You will see a bunch of failures. About every line will be a failure. Once you see that the script appears to have hung (stopped doing anything).. Should be on the last step..

6) Immediately toggle over to ES File Explorer and at the bottom will show newly created files. Click on superuser.apk install and update binaries. If it doesn't show it navigate the File Browser to the mrw directory, select superuser.apk, hit install, and update binaries.

7) Install as /system if you like.

8) Reboot, once booted check and make sure you have root and supersu is running!

9) Clean up any files you don't want.

10) Done

So far I have had no reboots. No problems. If i encounter any before this device goes to market I will update this thread.

Cheers

Try flashing the bootloader first. sbl1

I've been reading up on the property you have lost, I am guessing that you don't have an imei either. RILD is apparently supposed to get all of that from sim activation process.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehmancurtis:
I believe the proper command to flash raw will look like this.

emmcdl.exe -f "path/to/flash/program" -x rawprogram0.xml SetActivePartition=1

#your prog_emmc_firehose.mbn is your flash program. Before running the code, remove your battery for 5 seconds, replace battery, hold volume +, plug into computer, (have command pretyped) run command while still holding volume+, once the command window starts to fill up release volume + and wait till emmcdl.exe is finished.

I've got a twrp built for this device that boots but touch isn't working. Any advice? After flashing, the command line options for TWRP are working fine. I am trying to find a solution for the touch functionality before I add a link, but will share what I have so far with anyone interested in helping me find a solution.

Also, upon closer inspection of the . CPB file, I believe I have a solution to the metro pcs compatibility problem. The build properties are slightly different from the TMobile ROM. Therefore, I theorize that one could edit the build.prop file to overcome the incompatibility issue. I have no way to test this theory however.

On a side note, I would love to have the firmware files for the Coolpad Tattoo (3623A) if anyone knows where I can find them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehmancurtis:
I realize this is an old (and basically obsolete) post, however, I believe I have determined why the CPB file caused trouble for the metro pcs version. This information may be useful in the future. The file naming convention is directly related to the ROMs build properties, and with the help of the CPB UNPACK REPACK TOOL that info can be edited recursively much like make files (the same modifications are possible when using YGPD before flashing also). Also the phone info file in downfiles would need to match as well. I hope sharing this discovery was helpful or at least interesting.

Still, the least min shutter speed from all manufacturers - HTC 2 sec, Samsung 10 sec, LG and OnePlus 30 sec. but the fact that Sony finally implemented that API is great!

Hopefully not only the XZ will get this and we will see updated cameras in older models.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] pilifida:
sony fanboy here but still...1 sec? :o and samsung has 10 seconds shutter time? Is this what sony calls "innovation"?????
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Yakkosmurf:
I wonder if they will update it with a longer time. I would like that.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] furkandeger:
I wouldn't call it "full" since it still doesn't have raw capture.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chesterr:
With This 100% I agree. Is this really full manual control? I mean Sony is a master in RAW imagining. Their alpha series got the best RAW as far as I believe.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] silentmax24:
actually i agree with the decision to not add raw. For now it looks like a useless feature on a smartphone to me. just a memory eater. Not even all the compact cameras has it and most of them make better photos than a smartphone. Raw files are mostly for professionals and they use professional cameras. And finally shutter speed control! that was the only feature i felt was missing on xperia phones
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Yakkosmurf:
I would like t see RAW. I shoot it exclusively on all my cameras, so I would use it on my phone. You can use it or not, so there should be no concerns about space. Space is so cheap these days anyway.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] tanago:
The problem IMO is not RAW, it is that Sony is really lazy about adding the features from their new devices on the older ones(that support them). Remember 4K and timeshift video? Z1 didn't get them from the Z2 although they were fully supported by the hw. I think Sony will do the same with limited/full camera2 api support....

(would be very glad to see Sony disproving me)

I understand it's a marketing trick to force users to buy the new model, but supported users are happy users, and happy users will have their next device Sony again, which IMO is far better strategy

[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] FYL21:
Can anyone confirm whether ISO can be changed at 23MP and if Steadyshot works with still photos? Recombu seems to show it working in Superior Auto mode but the video isn't very clear with it.

I think the Z5 had it on its original software but after the camera app was updated in November it no longer had it, even though Sony claimed on their forum that Steadyshot is on by default.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] decomposed:
Unfortunately ISO cannot be changed at 23MPx.

Moreover, even for lower resolution, it is not possible to adjust few options at the same time, like when you change the shutter speed, ISO and HDR etc are unavailable... They really need to fix this issueto allow us better manual control, and not only 1 option at the time + support higher resolutions and 4K videos.

4K is really biased, non of ne implemented technologies like 5 axis stabilization are supported in 4K.

I think Sony just added its old 4K app without updating it to combine with new features, sadly :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] peppepop:
Not implementing camera RAW in 2017 is close to a deal breaker, sony. Implement the full camera 2.0 API with raw support asap...
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Fred98TJ:
Yeah, it may be a complete deal breaker for me.

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

Anyone know if the new camera (in the XZs and XZ premium ) supports raw ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] peppepop:
I sure hope so, it is supposed to have more camera properties than ever before, even went down to 19mpix from 23 to have more light sensitivity for the camera. Furthermore, if anyone thinks RAW (which is already there in the Android source code) isn't necessary - well just don't use it then.

It's like saying "I don't need a car that goes above 75 mph, so it's unnecessary to implement" :D

I was under the impression that fastboot boot twrp.img no longer worked in recent android versions. I recall reading this for a couple of devices. However, out of curiosity, i tried it and it worked today. I am running 7.0 nougat and fastboot booted twrp to back up all partitions using the latest twrp.

If I am wrong mods please delete.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingmikel:
I can confirm that it does indeed work.

Try "adb reboot bootloader" to get into the bootloader. Then make sure that you renamed the image to twrp, then you can do fastboot boot twrp.img and it will work. Just be sure to be using TWRP 3.0.2-1, that one works with Nougat and encryption
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panijsr:
I have few questions:

When booted to TWRP using fastboot boot (without flashing), in which partition TWRP is temporarily stored? Is is boot partition? After booting into TWRP (without flashing), if I take backup of boot partition, will it be stock version?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I don't know the answer to your first question. It just replaces the stock recovery until a reboot.

Assuming that you are using a stock rom, the backup will be the stock boot of the monthly security update that is currently installed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panijsr:
It does not modify the recovery partition, even temporarily. That is why, we are able to backup stock recovery, before actually flashing TWRP. It must be residing either in boot or cache partition, until next boot.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
fastboot boot recovery.img should work as recovery is a boot image (header, sig, kernel, ramdisk)

Now to know where downloaded data are stored on the device, you'd have to look in fastboot device side code (based on https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/lk/tree/app/aboot) but could be that some code is not published.

fastboot boot involves a download command, followed by a boot command, while fastboot flash involves a download followed by a flash command.

Looks like it's stored in RAM, see https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/lk/tree/app/aboot/aboot.c#n221 and control is then given to this physical address where the kernel and ramdisk (initial rootfs which contains init the first userland program being execed) are.

Downloads can't be stored in cache (100MB), it's too small for a max download size (472MB). From a quick read of the protocol description, it's not clear to me how bigger images are downloaded (system is 1.9GB).

See:

meh@boo:~$ fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version:0.01
(bootloader) unlocked:yes
(bootloader) hardware-revision:ANGLER-ROW-VN1
(bootloader) version-baseband:angler-03.81

(bootloader) partition-size:system: 0xc0000000
(bootloader) serialno:ENU7N15DEADBEEFCAFE
(bootloader) kernel:lk
(bootloader) product:angler

Edit: so I was curious and looked at the code, for IMG bigger than max download size, the file is sent in chunks. And it probably still is uploaded into RAM. Which is Ok as we have 3GB RAM. There's no CRC check though neither for transport nor by rereading written data. For system, that's probably taken care of by dm-verity which kicks in at boot and autocorrects simple mmc error. But it would have been good to see during flash how many inconsistencies were detected.
