Update: *Whew*

I used XperiFirm to select a ROM. I didn't know which ROM, but I was intrigued to enable the fingerprint scanner. Due to some recent posts that the original method of using the Customized UK (or as they would say "Customised UK") version no longer works as the posted firmware was for Nougat. As a workaround, some people downloaded CE version, but CE version has also been recently updated to Nougat. I noticed a CE5 version which still seemed to be the MM version.

However, I also wasn't sure what differences I may see in the European version as some posters were complaining about some cosmetic differences, so I downloaded Customized US even though I thought I read somewhere it was for CDMA network. I also decided to download one called "Commercial and Journalists" which was the same MM version.

I decided to install it first as I was anxious about trying to get my phone back. I was able to load OmniROM but since there were some known issues, my preference was to use authentic Sony firmware. In addition, I took some low light pictures with the OmniROM version, and they turned out really bad. Not sure if it was the ROM or what, but it was very disappointing. Also, I couldn't get root access to it. Also, even though OmniROM seemed to support the fingerprint scanner, I couldn't get it to register my fingerprint well.

I downloaded the Commercial and Journalists version from XperiFirm, let it unpack it, and then used FlashTool to create the bundle, not including fwinfo.xml or the .ta files.

It started up Android ok, but I noticed I seemed to have lost my TWRP. Anyway, while starting up Android, guess what? The fingerprint enabled software was there... and it works like a champ!

Since I seemed to have lost TWRP, I started from instructions again from http://www.stupdroid.com/2016/10/root-sony-xperia-x-compact.html and was able to get it back.

Then, I tried to get root, but following the instructions, I got the error ""There is no su binary installed" when opening SuperSU.

I then flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/

And now I have root access!

Whew! I don't know what damage I've done overall... and since I don't have a nano SIM card yet, the worst case scenario is that what I have now doesn't work as a phone (but I doubt it). After what I went through (accidentally deleting the system from my Android phone), I now have a rooted Xperia X Compact with the fingerprint sensor enabled. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good?

And, when I took some low light pics, they turned out better!

Thanks a lot!!

If i download and flash the CE.ftf will i get a working fingerprint??
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Piyush jaiswal:
Yep!

Central Europe firmware does enables Fingerprint scanner.

After flashing you will get four ota updates in a row.

A security patch for 6.0 and nougat afterwards.

Hi everyone, I went from CM 13 to stock by restoring from TWRP. everything worked flawlessly except that I remember that I'm running EMUI 3.1, the Ram displays 1gb and the internal display 4gb in the about phone (although it displays normal in the file manager and running apps)

I am now trying to update from EMUI 2.0 to 4.0, also I am running TWRP and would like to get back to recovery stock as well. Please tell me if I need to get back to recovery stock before updating or the update will remove it and replace it with stock for me.

Also, Problem is my model is KII-L22 and all i see is KIW-L22 here: https://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/how-to/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288

will I not have any problems using those updates with my KII-L22? :confused:
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] s4h1k0:
Update:

After reading some guides, i decided to flash it via adb by extracting the update contents such as system img and boot img and flashing it manually via cmd. I am now running at emui 4.0 no problems encountered so far.

Question is did I not miss anything? My plan was to flash stock recovery and update the update zip.

Not quite sure if this method works

[Xposed General] alexdata:
I have installed XPOSED and with that XPRIVACY to control what information apps like FACEBOOK and MESSENGER leaks over the internet, and what information they can access on my phone....

But recently my banking app was updated, and it now detect the XPRIVACY Module, if that module is ACTIVE inside XPOSED INSTALLER... If i deactivate the XPRVACY Module, and restart, then I can start the banking app with no problem...

Obviously its a drag to DISABLE MODULE-->RESTART-->DO BANKING-->ENABLE MODULE-->RESTART-->BE PROTECTED AGAIN

So can anyone point me in the right direction on how to keep XPRIVACY enabled, while still being able to use the banking app...

The banking app in question is:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.spv.mobilbank

So if you have XPOSED and XPRIVACY, you can download this app, and see that it FORCE CLOSES as long as the XPRIVACY Module is active inside XPOSED...

If you disable XPRIVACY you will see the app starting up, and displaying some login screen...

Can anyone help me in this endavour??

I've tried using SudoHide & MinMinHide, but those did not work for this... as long as the module is active inside XPOSED, then the app will force close...

Rootcloack did also not do anything for this specific problem...

Im not sure what method the app uses to detect that the module is installed and active... but the app does not care, if the XPRIVACY module is installed, but not active, also it doesn't seem to care about XPOSED itself, and the rest of XPOSED's modules... Its just when XPRIVACY Module is activated inside XPOSED...

Please give me suggestions as where to go... what to do... what to test...

Since Xprivacy is freeware, I was considering downloading it, and renaming all the files and the code in the files, to not include "xprivacy" text or "bikhorst" text (package name), but building the app, seems to be my problem...

My pc is old, and does not support the never versions of android studio...

Is there something in the banking app itself, that i could edit, using APK EDITOR perhaps... (or similar programs) to stop the app from checking for XPRIVACY (active) Module...
[Xposed General] alexdata:
Is there some other apps that I could try, that might somehow stop only that one app from detecting that I use XPRIVACY to protect my privacy where I can....

I have tried:

"No Device Check"

"RootCloack"

"SudoHide" & "MinMinHide"

What I seem to need is some XPOSED MODULE, or other app that can "hide the presence of the active XPRIVACY module"...

I've tried to use XPRIVACY itself to deny the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.spv.mobilbank (no.spv.mobilbank) app from checking the system for the presence of XPRIVACY, and if I put checkmarks on categories "IPC" and "SHELL" inside XPRIVACY for the "no.spv.mobilbank" then XPRIVACY starts up, and asks if I want to allow or deny access to shell/ipc and then the app crashes... (as it detects xprivacy if allowed that access, or it just crashes fast, if denied that access, so what can i do inside XPRIVACY to force a false check and then avoid a crash, so that the app keeps loading)

I've also tried to use APKTOOL to reverse engineer the app, since there is a config.xml file that contains the two following lines of code, that seems to have something to do with the checking, but the apktool fails at rebuilding the edited apk file, so those changes cannot so far be saved (by me) to that apk file...

(the file with the xml I want to change: c:\OUTPUTFOLDER\res\xml\confiig.xml)

(correct path if you let APKTOOL decompile the app to c:\OUTPUTFOLDER\)

And the CHANGES i think will stop the behavoiur:

(when i set the ONLOAD to FALSE in these two paragraphs)

<feature name="Whitelist">

<param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.whitelist.WhitelistPlugin" />

<param name="onload" value="false" />

</feature>

<feature name="ExternalAppBlock">

<param name="android-package" value="no.spv.mobilbank.lib.SPVExternalAppBlock" />

<param name="onload" value="false" />

</feature>

Too bad there is no way to try this for me, ass I cannot get the APKTOOL to reassemble the files back to an APK file... It only does the decompiling correctly (im using APKTOOL 2.2.1)

Anyone with any good ideas, or suggestions as what to try, or what to do different?

If anyone could build an XPOSED module that somehow disabled this check, performed by no.spv.mobilbank then I'd be most gradeful !! (but I don't know how to build that myself)

Have you tried to post this question on the XPrivacy thread?

Sent using the d2vzw Communicator from the Bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise (N.C.C. 1701).
[Xposed General] alexdata:
Well, not yet.... mostly because asking the same question, several places in the same forum, is not so much liked in the other forums I use...

There is no bug with Xprivacy itself, nor with Xposed, but since this is a setup that runs Xposed, i found it most logically to ask it here first...

As more people might visit the Xposed part, than the Xprivacy part of the forum...

But... I might repost the question in Xprivacy aswell...

Would you perhaps have a direct link to the Xprivacy part of this forum (im still quite new on this forum) ??
[Xposed General] Ibuprophen:
Here it is but, keep in mind that if there's a support thread for something, it's better to post within that thread so a dev or someone else can help you out.

[Xposed General] MrinmoyJK:
I know this is an old thread, but people still come here from google search looking for solutions to their issues. So, here is what you can try:

I think you have tried it, but still. On the main window of xprivacy, uncheck the 2 boxes beside the banking app. Xprivacy will not block anything for this app. Now clear all the data of the banking app from settings > applications or wherever it is on your phone. Check it the app works now.

If the above does not work do this. Go back to xprivacy > tap the icon of the banking app on left side. This will let you change permissions only for that app. Make sure all the boxes are clear. Go to bottom > check the first box next to System > tap the arrow on the left side of system. Now, check the first box of these 6 sub-permissions under system:

getInstalledApplications

getInstalledPackages

getRecentTasks

getRunningAppProcesses

getRunningServices

getRunningTasks

Now clear all the data of the banking app like in the 1st step and check if it works.

One of these 2 steps should work.

NOTE: Just installing Rootcloak does not do anything. You need to add the package name of the banking app to make it work. Which can be done by opening Rootcloak and going to manage apps and adding it from the list.

Hi,

I have problem formatting partitions

➜ platform-tools

Using ./fastboot format fails similarly.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] hrstoyanov:
The reason I want to format/erase the partitions is because i cannot flash my phone anymore:

./fastboot flash system ~/Downloads/split_updata.pl/kiw_l24_a6.0.1_emui4.0_d003_US/SYSTEM.img

FAILED (status read failed (Undefined error: 0))

finished. total time: 0.001s

Also, when I put the phone in fastboot mode I see this:

PHONE Unlocked

FRP Lock

Could that "FRP Lock" be the reason why fastboot does not work, and if so how can I get rid of this FRP Lock?

The FRP Lock appeared after I decided that I had enough with CM13 and wanted to flash back the stock images. The phone is unlocked, but i cannot boot it up unless with fastboot.

About to throw away this phone ... out of ideas...:crying:
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] rodolphe06:
I found this for frp lock:

*to remove the factory reset protection (frp) to do this you need to remove all pin/password/fingerprint locks, then remove all google accounts and finally do a factory reset.

Google frp lock xda honor 5x, there are some threads.

Good luck
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] hrstoyanov:
I also looked at those, but they are all talking about a fully operational device. The most I can do with my phone is some limited FASTBOOT operations, like:

./fastboot oem get-bootinfo

...

The way it got bricked is, because it is a KIW-UL00 device and I tried to install the US stock rom in it (KIW-L24), like this:

./fastboot flash boot ./kiw_l24_a6.0.1_emui4.0_d003_US/BOOT.img

./fastboot flash system ./kiw_l24_a6.0.1_emui4.0_d003_US/SYSTEM.img

./fastboot flash recovery ./kiw_l24_a6.0.1_emui4.0_d003_US/RECOVERY.img

after that, I tried to reboot the phone and the the restoration of the stock rom did start. However it got to about 5%, then

the phone started rebooting itself and never finished. As a result, I think the FRP Lock appered and I can no longer run the above

commands even though I have the the right stock rom for KIW-UL00.

Any chance to fix that?

Overall the problem I got into this is that no one has tested CM13 or TWRP3 with this particular Honor 5x model, KIW-UL00, which gets people to follow instructions and get their phones bricked. Should have known this before I started ... sigh ...

CF-Auto-Root is no more working to root Samsung A8 after latest Marshmallow update. So here I'll tell you another way to root your A800F or A800I. Also I'll tell you how to install TWRP and Install Xposed. Is little bit complicated but this works.

/*
* Your warranty is now void.

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features

*/

Prerequisite :

On PC

USB Driver

Odin

Minimal ADB

TWRP Recovery

[*]On Phone Storage

SuperSU

Xposed Installer apk

Xposed SDK

DOWNLOAD LINKS BELOW

Steps

Download all files in a folder and install USB Driver (Skip if already installed). Extract Minimal ADB. Save SuperSU zip on your phone's storage.

Enable developer option on phone ( Tap “Build number” seven times to enable Developer option ).

Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging under developer option.

Put phone in download mode ( Hold vol down + home + power key to reboot to download mode )

Open ODIN on your computer. Connect your phone to your computer while your phone is in the Download Mode.If your phone is connected successfully, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port number.

Now select the recovery file that you have to flash/install on your phone. Click on ‘PDA’ / ‘AP’ and select the file ‘recovery.tar’. (In ODIN, check the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options, if not already.) Now click on the Start button in ODIN. Installation process will start and would take a few minutes to complete. After the installation is completed, your phone will reboot normally.

Next you have to launch the ADB drivers file. Launch command.bat file from the ADB folder and give the first command to check whether the device is successfully connected to PC or not. A popup will open in your phone. tap allow.

adb devices

Enter another command to reboot your device into recovery:

adb reboot recovery

Now you are on TWRP recovery. Click on Install and select SuperSU file that you downloaded on your phone in step 1. and flash.

Flash Xposed SDK too if you want to use Xposed framework

You will get bootloop first time. Its normal. And first boot may take about 10 mins. You don't have to worry. After reboot install Xposed installer to use Xposed.

Done :laugh:

Notes

Do not reboot to TWRP recovery using key combinations. Use any rebooter app to reboot to recovery.

This way is enforcing not permissive. I am searching for permissive. I'll update.

This method works on latest stock firmware.
