So far I can't get root in any way. It's strange because it seems the root is there, but not accessible. There's a popup appearing saying that SHELL has been granted root access, and if I enter in SuperSU app I see the same there, but it keeps telling me there are no binaries.

Also it seems that abd root isn't working as I thought, it just doesn't tell me anything, I later tried doing anything on adb but I had no success.

Right now I'm seeing if I can manage to modify a system image, apply root to it and flash it via fastboot.

I don't know much about rooting, so don't expect miracles:p

EDIT: No luck so far with system flashing, tried flashing the stock system but it doesn't seem to boot. Maybe I did wrong the system.new.dat -> system.img process or simply I just can't do that.

EDIT2: Welp... I bricked the phone:crying:, now I'm trying to restore it (With the rom Coolicool provided:silly:)

Research is over, selling my two units

Dear all,

I've finished my research on the BP2 and I will be selling the two units. Here is a link to my eBay auction (one unit, the other will be sold afterwards).

It's been interesting experience, and I must admit that I've learned a lot during the process.

Will share more in about two weeks after the units will be sold, with priority to the buyers (only shipping to the UK).

Cheers

Copy the zip file to your sd card.

Power off your phone.

Put the sd card into the sd card/sim card tray.

Press volume up and power button until your phone turns on.

Keep the volume up button pressed down until you land in the recovery menu.

Update 3.0.10

Does newest update block yur phone? Size 646mb. Anyone tryed yet?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidblue:
It most likely will do so

Hi there

I wouldn’t install that if I was you. The REAL update is about 66,819KB in size. The real update also provides an updated modem firmware, even though Silent Circle didn't seem to provide any information why in their release notes (errr). I didn't had a chance to review the fake update, but the good news is that unless they decided to totally wipe out the phone (which they can) you can recover from their update by downgrading. However, since they can make a mess out of your phone, I would be very careful and would not flash it.

You can side load the update by being on 309 system + the 309 recovery, then update using normal recovery option. This update will patch it to 310.

The 309 update was a full system update (for some reason) and the 310 is just incremental.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vuche:
So you're basically saying that upgrading from 3.0.7 to 3.0.9 and then to 3.0.10 doesn't lock the phone, when not doing the 3.0.8 update? That would be great news for us BlackMarket 2 phone owners! Or maybe you have an "official" verified BP2?

Thanks for sharing.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Apostrike:
After you flash with OP Stock ROM you can just update to 3.0.4 through your Device then to 3.0.7 and its working for me, all back to normal just do not update to 3.0.8 as it gonna lock your Phone again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fabi_92:
it give me just a 3.0.8 ota..

where can i find 3.0.4?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Apostrike:
What i did:

Power off the phone

Power back up in recovery mode by pressing simultaneously the Power button + Volume Up. You will see the Silent OS welcome screen; as soon as that screen disappears let go of both buttons.

In the recovery menu, use the volume keys to navigate to “wipe data/factory reset” and use the power button to select that option.

In the next screen, use the volume keys to navigate to “Yes — delete all user data" and use the power button to select that option.

Wait until the process finishes. Once finished the phone will go back to recovery menu; select "reboot system now" and the phone will restart.

1. installed BP2-OTA-2.0.8-RC4-candidate-NA-1460729363 as my device was with AM in model name

2. Connect to wifi and Silent OS asked me to update version to 3.0.4 did

3. checked for new Update and it show me i need to update to 3.0.7 what i did

and now i'm back to 3.0.7 thats all i did hope this helps

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Donkey5:
It has always been the software!!! From Apple, to samsung, to xiaomi, to whatever. It is the software. hardware has very little value. I don understand why are ppl suffering by re-flashing rom, instead of asking for refund from the seller!! Why did you buy blackphone in the first place? Becos of privacy right? The software must have bugs, leaks and that's why vendors upgrade their software and os, yet here we are reverting to older version.

take a look at the phone demo video from these pirated phone sites. The load bloatware, and games.. chinese bloatware and games. Silent Circle is a american-swiss based mobile security company, would they, a security firm load chinese bloatware and games on a security phone??? These bums must have pirated the phone from the factory and selling it at 100% profit, and making every buyer suffer which they get rich through piracy! Come on ppl! We can do better than this!!

Antelife, efox and coolicool, are from the same owner!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] akikoo:
Which video do you mean? I didn't see any chinese bloatware or games on my Blackphone 2 bought from coolicool.

In my case I can't return the phone to the seller because the national post doesn't accept lithium batteries in packages

and DHL is too expensive for this return.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Donkey5:
For some reason, i am not able to post a url link.

But go look at antelife website of blackphone 2.. look at the video there. When i saw the chinese game i knew it is not original. i was so tempted to buy.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Apostrike:
Its the Model Type of your Phone go Settings - About Phone - Regulatory information and you will see your model number ID.

Example: BP2H001AM1 - letters "AM" indicate you should use that .zip

NA means 'North America', AM means 'America'; probably the models being sold in that region are slightly different.

Example: BP2H001RW1 - letters "RW" indicate you should use that .zip

RW (ROW) means 'Rest of World'.
