[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niels Koomans:
Hello,

The fact that your Idol 3 has been upgraded to MM doesn't have to mean that you can't root or install recovery, you don't have to unlock your bootloader either so that means that you can keep your warranty.

I recently found a way to flash recovery to my device and flash SuperSU.zip using that recovery, which is TWRP.

All you have to do is the following

Download Sahara & Firehose Test from This post

Download the latest Super SU

Get yourself a TWRP image for the Idol 3.

First off

Turn off your phone

Connect your phone to your computer using a Micro USB cable

Hold both volume up and down and press power to start up the device

Once you get onto a screen that says "Download Mode", release both volume buttons and hold volume up to continue. The screen will now turn black

Then you open up Sahara & Firehose Test

Click on "Detect" to detect your device, a connected COM port should appear above the buttons

Click on "NPRG" to load the Sahara & Firehose flasher into your phone's memory

Click on "Get GPT" to fill up the list on the bottom of the window

In the list, find the partition with the name "recovery"

There should be a small checkbox in that item, make sure it's checked

Double click on the textbox next to that checkbox and select where you want to save a backup of the stock recovery image

Click on "Read" to backup your recovery

Double click on that textbox again and select your TWRP image file

Click on "Write" to flash the recovery image to your phone

For SuperSU

Shut down your phone

Press and hold the volume up button and start the phone with the power button

As soon as the "TEAMWIN" logo appears, let go of the volume button

First you want swipe to allow modifications

In the menu that appears next, you want to select "Install"

Now select your downloaded SuperSU ZIP file, it might be on the external storage. You can change storages by ticking on "Storage: Internal Storage".

Swipe again to apply the zip package

Now reboot the device. If it asks to install the SuperSU, tick on "Do Not Install"

I hope I could help you with this,

With kind regards,

Niels Koomans.

Hi! [MENTION=7873903]Niels Koomans[/MENTION]

Do you have MM??? O.o

I'd like to interject to show [MENTION=5660972]DeckerSU[/MENTION] our deep appreciation for his work. Without him we would still be going back and forth with Panasonic flashes and lost radios and whatnot... While he made MM root just a few clicks away with his hard work. Thank you.

Yes I do have the latest update on my Alcatel OT Idol 3 (6039y)

and there decker's app just freezes / not responding / etc
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niels Koomans:
Does it show the COM port above the buttons?

If no then your phone might not be in Download Mode or might not be connected properly. Please refollow the steps from the part "First off"

What Windows version are you using?

If you are using Windows 10 then please try running the app in Compatibility Mode. You can achieve this by following these steps:

* Right-click on the Windows Executable

* Click on properties, a new window will appear

* On that window, go to the tab "Compatibility"

* There will be a section called "Compatibility mode"

* In that section, there is a checkbox "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"

* Make sure that that checkbox is checked and in the combobox below that checkbox, select Windows 8 or Windows 7

Now run the app again and if the error occurs again then please let me know :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jani0417:
yep, everything is correct and win7 32bit, so the problem is somewhere else.

Can you share the update?

If you have root use this software that i made to do a backup flash zip and share your rom with us.

Extract the folder and execute the Do_Backup.exe, read what is write there.

DO_BACKUP.zip

thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niels Koomans:
The "ife134.exe" file doesn't work, my phone does give root permission so I think that the application is at fault here. I'll try to find another way of making a backup :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
Weird!

Do you give adb permission and super user permission?

The error is because adb i think, without adb permission the software cannot pull the img from the sd card and ife134.exe give error because there is no image to work.

See if you have the images in sd card...

Read if is written in the beginning of program when starts.

It must pop-up to permission windows, one for super user and the other for adb.

You turn on debug mode, right?

If you have done all this, try again.

At the end you must have a flash zip in desktop.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niels Koomans:
Well the thing is: My phone gives proper root permission to ADB and ADB gives no error at all in step 2 so I think the app isn't working properly at all.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
Use adb and type

adb devices

What it says?

I use the software before share it.

[MENTION=7873903]Niels Koomans[/MENTION]

i change the software, i donÂ´t know if will work now...

You need 2GB free in sd card

a temp folder in windows drive ( ex: c:\temp )

debug mode ON in phone

SU and ADB permissions in phone

With all that execute the software.

For me is working...

DO_BACKUP.zip

If doesnÂ´t work again there is a another way with ES File explorer...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
This is the problem

" dd: /storage/sdcard1/PERSIST.img: No such file or directory

remote object '/storage/sdcard1/PERSIST.img' does not exist

"

Is not copying the images to sd card!

Is your root ok?

How much space is available in sd card?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niels Koomans:
Root is OK and my sd-card has 14GB of available space. Is your program reading out the partitions the right way or does it read the paths to the partitions right?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
So...

[MENTION=7873903]Niels Koomans[/MENTION] download and check this video and see this images:

I donÂ´t know way is not working for you! And this was done in a old PC at my work! ( That is way it takes 30 m ... )

But with ES File Explorer and root ON in ES File Explorer settings copy from /dev/block to sd card and upload this images:

mmcblk0p26

mmcblk0p21

mmcblk0p23

mmcblk0p19

mmcblk0p12

mmcblk0p1

mmcblk0p8

mmcblk0p6

mmcblk0p25

mmcblk0p10

Can you do this???

[Verizon LG V10] Wmckinnon46:
Hi all, just a quick question about the lockscreen finger print scan. When I set up my lockscreen for when I use it, every time I set it up, I have to do the finger print scan for extra security, I have a finger print saved from when I set up my phone ( I just recently got it). My question is, why can't I use the finger print that I have saved on my device, instead of always having to do it each time I activate my lockscreen? Thank you for any and all replies.
[Verizon LG V10] SprManKalEl:
Are you asking why you have to place your finger on the scanner every time you want to unlock your phone?

That's simple. Placing your finger on the scanner is faster and less complicated than typing in the password or PIN every time you want to unlock it. It's a security feature. If you didn't have to put your finger on the scanner then ANYONE can pick up your phone and access its contents. The reason you "save" a fingerprint is for the phone to know that it's you trying to get in and not some random person.

There are a few ways you can avoid placing your finger on the scanner.

1. You can disable the security lock altogether. This leaves you vulnerable to unauthorized people looking at your phone.

2. You can set up a trusted location such as when you're home. This will make it so you don't have to place your finger or use you PIN, pattern or password to unlock. I would recommend this if you live alone or you don't have anything to hide from a spouse or partner.

Frankly, if you have to press the power button to activate the screen, it takes less than a second for it to read your fingerprint and unlock.

Get one M8S 0PKV10000 bricked,only Qualcomm 9008 port in device manager.

Using JTAG eMMC can't save anything from that state,found another one in working condition and read eMMC.

With this dump I revived bricked one,but is simlocked to Vodafone,so no HTC codes available.Dump is from phone locked to Vodafone,owner is not first client,no papers,no code from Vodafone.

Question is how and what to change to make s-off or where is stored simlock,what partition?

By any chance if somebody have dumps before and after unlock and could share them.

Like I said,by JTAG I can write anything in eMMC

S-OFF is for using sieempi method of unlock

Dumps if available to compare and search where is simlock.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burleanu:
Somewhere in the A9 sections I have seen something about partitions and SIM lock, and we have similar partition configuration.

You can play with that, as long as you can recover with jtag.

I've used same stuff to be able to downgrade from higher firmware to lower. Maybe this work for SIM lock too.

Good luck!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabiz_ro:
I remember to see that too

But was about rfg_8 partition (more rfg_X partitions)

In M8S is only up to rfg_7 compared and no one seems to be a posible candidate.

Looking to find one free simlock or already unlocked to read dump,but until then ...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabiz_ro:
Anyone with one simlock free and rooted M8S can help me?

Just dump

Compress mmcblk0.bin file and upload on some sharing server.

Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burleanu:
Very strange that recently I see a lot of the M8S with Qualcomm 9008 port problem. I don't understand why.

Can't help you with the dump. Mine is also Vodafone.

Somewhere here somebody is also looking for help with this. Maybe you can help each other.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabiz_ro:
Played a little with some partitions,board_info,pg1fs,mfg,rfg_0 without any result.

But in the end solved.

Simlock are stored in PG1FS partition.Clearly see that in hexeditor but ... just that,some hex code.

You may see in any hexeditor some text PGFS,security,simlock,simunlock .... followed by some hex value

Strange enough is that in one dump found on net from M8 not M8S simunlock have same hex value after.

Wipe EMMC and write 512MB dump readed from working (simlocked) phone.

With dump from simlocked working phone.

fastboot oem dmesg

Found dumps from M8 0P6B10000 extract PG1FS

write that PG1FS and result

fastboot oem dmesg

Inserted card with 0PKVIMG.zip start update,phone working fine.,no more simlocked.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabiz_ro:
Except few hex values on simlock,security simunlock there are two little blocks

dmesg

PG1FS

read _ simlock ( 1168 ) : 5F 93 05 88, 45 B5 D0 13 (added spaces for clear look)

bytes in reverse order, 88 05 93 5F, 13 D0 B5 45

Also in second block

read_simlock_password(331): F0, B0, EB, 27

But from here to unlock solution may be long way.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekuest:
Hi everyone! Surfed the forums in the past for some minor help but never needed to register till now. I've tried everything and can't get my phone to boot.

So last night while camping my phone started boot cycling out of nowhere. I let it try a few times and then removed the battery and went to sleep. This morning I woke up and tried a few more times, replaced the battery with a non-stock double-capacity one I have, and still cycled. Sometimes it restarts on the Galaxy Note 4 logo, and sometimes on the Sprint logo. It will do this indefinitely. At one point It finally booted and said it was updating apps (like from an Android update, not the regular app updates.) Before I could do anything else with it though, the battery wiggled loose and it started power cycling again. Because of this one boot I think the root cause is related to an Android update that decided to run without my permission.

So I gave up and drove hoe from camping. Tonight I had tried everything I could find from factory reset to the toolkit to Odin and nothing has had any effect. The toolkit didn't see the device, and Odin failed to flash. Can anyone help me? I can boot to recovery and I can get into download mode, but nothing seems to work. The phone isn't hard bricked, but everything I can find on soft brick solutions hasn't worked. Thanks in advance!

Oh also, when I boot into recovery mode it says "installing system update" with the android open chest logo, and then goes to a dead android and says "no command" before getting into the recovery mode menu.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
If you able to go download mode then flash twrp recovery in odin and go to twrp recovery for your specific model and do clean wipe system then flash any rom for your model.then wait 10 to 15 minuts until phone boot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekuest:
Ok thanks that worked! I got into TWRP by setting Odin to not reboot. If I let it reboot then it just restarted after the TWRP flash and kept power cycling like before. If I uncheck auto reboot in Odin then after the flash I can pull the battery (can't figure out any other way to turn the phone off) and then when I restart in recovery mode it goes into TWRP. From there I tried a factory reset (wipe data, cache, and dalvik) and that didnt fix the power cycling. Do I have to flash TWRP and then immediately flash a rom right after? Or should I try an advance wipe in TWR, or maybe "repair or change file system" from the advanced wipe menu?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekuest:
Bump? I still can't boot my phone. Got into TWRP but no idea what to do from there. I can't flash any rom successfully in Odin and I can't get the phone to boot. Now it just hangs on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" splash screen, doesnt even go to the "Samsung" screen or the "Sprint" screen like it used to.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekuest:
how do you do the "then flash any rom" part? i have no idea how to do that since Odin doesn't seem to work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
1,Flash twrp recovery in odin

2,press volume up+home+power button and boot into twrp

3,in twrp go to wipe/advance wipe and wipe system/cache/data/dalvik cache

4,Flash any custom rom for your model from twrp recovery

If you allready have twrp installed then skip 1 and download any rom like cm12 and gapps

Then flash from twrp
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekuest:
Do I just go to install in TWRP and then select the zip file on my microSD card? I tried that with N910PVPU3BOF5_N910PSPT3BOF5_SPR.zip and if says "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file. Error installing zip file '/external_sd/N910PVPU3BOF5_N910PSPT3BOF5_SPR.zip'" Then I tried with a CM called cm-12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-trltespr.zip and it seemed to work, and showed a little blue android face but then it still wouldnt boot. Now when I try to start the phone it says "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" in tiny text on the top right of the Galaxy Note 4 splash screen, then boots to the blue android face and then powers off after about 2 seconds. After that, I cant even recovery boot the phone until I remove and reinstall the battery. Then the same thing happens, boot to blue android face and then shut down. I'll try some more android zips I found but I think there is a deeper problem with the phone here.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
Which android version you ware running last time before this issues start happning ? 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 ?

And i think you are trying to flash firmware file from twrp thats not possible you will require a custom rom.

If you are on 5.1.1 then try any lojjipop n910p based roms like cm 12

If you are on 6.0.1 then try n910p marshmallow based rom like cm13
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekuest:
I always run the updates so I'm pretty sure I was on 6.0.1. I tried again with CM13 with and without GApps and same thing always happens. No matter what I do, the phone always hangs and shuts off when it gets to the CM splash screen. I will upload a video soon. Do you know why the phone says that SEANDROID thing?

I am using CM13 from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44727

I am using GApps from here: http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=pico
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
Seandroid thing is normal if you are running custom rom. Cuz any custom comes with root and custom kernel so nothing to worry.

Did you tried another battery?

And how long did you wait to phone boot after flashing cm13 ?

Go to sprint note 4 xda forum and try different roms and be patient and wait atleast 20min to phone boot

You cannot flash cm13 without gapps and make sure gapps is for 6.0.1 marshmallow.

Once your phone boot normal go to download mode and flash 6.0.1 firmware in odin and after finish flash immediately go to stock recovery and do factory reset your phone will be normal.

Make sure your battery is not damaged maybe it is causing shut off. Issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekuest:
Well since I can't flash CM13 with TWRP and I can't flash a stock rom with Odin, what other options do I have? Is there any way to get a bcakup file that someone else has made on their Note 4 in TWRP and try restoring from that? I've also read about ADB sideloading and another recovery called CWM or something and I don't know if those will be any different or just more failed flashes. I think the problem is deeper in the phone since it wouldn't boot with the stock rom and now it won't boot with CM13.

EDIT: Just saw your last post. I have 2 batteries, one samsung stock and one aftermarket TechOrbits double capacity. The phone does the same thing with either one so I ruled out the battery a while ago. Think there's any chance theyre both bad and I should order a new one? I don't really want to invest more money into a dead phone. I don't think I waited that long after installing CM13. I'll try it again and give it a half hour. I doubt that will change anything though.

EDIT2: Also when I go to download mode (says "ODIN MODE <HIGH SPEED>" at the top) it has some red text at the bottom I think might mean something. Does this mean anything to you or is it typical?
