A new Discovery

So chaos leads to discovery.

Since I Bricked my device i decided to take the board from the device in the picture and swap it in my bricked phone.

So that worked out well. Booted good. Then I remembered that I re-locked the bootloader and turned S-ON. :(

Trying to unlock the bootloader and turn S-OFF I got the thing messed up.

When I was S-off I had changed the cid to metro001.

I left it that way when I turned s-on and locked the bootloader.

So now I cant flash any ruu to fix the problem.

Out of curiosity I put a few of the sd cards I made with the flash tools above in and booted the phone.

One of them will boot to download mode and is Totally S-off Super cid you name it.

Same as my totally unlocked device.

The fastboot commands work but the problem is that the commands are executed against the sd card.

But if we take the boting image and patch hosd.img to run adb and not fastboot. Like if we take the twrp adb settings ( ROOT).

modify hosd to have the adb.

Then we can use the root adb to access the emmc. It needs mounted. once its mounted then we can dd the images back to the device emmc.

Anyone else built an image yet? :confused:

hi B G 907 , I see you have fun doing so much work , I have a question if you think you can help me with a bricked htc one m8 , was verizon s on but unlocked and after many stupid cliks showed up as many disc partitions I deleted most of them , now no fastboot , no booting, no recovery , only qualcom 9008 dload mode , so I bought another htc one m8 s off again , unlocked ,rooted can I copy some files to my bricked m8 ? to revive it ? in mbn extension or xml . I dont know how
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
It might be possible. But is the bricked phone S-on or S-off? I'm confused there.

I can put the rom together easy but I haven't been able to flash it yet.

Try holding both volume buttons in and then pressing power.

See if it does anything.

Do a dd pull of each patition of the new device and upload it somewhere.
[HTC Desire 526] gda_scooby:
An interesting read, if completely over my head at the moment.

Stumbled onto this while trying to flash a bricked HTC M9 in 9008 mode, and using QFIL. (no charging lights, no bootloader, no reset mode etc)

I too have a 2nd working phone - so I will try to read through this again later and work out how to 'download' from the working one to create the *.mbn's and *.xml's, but a steep learning curve for a complete newbie

Something brainy to do in an evening tho.
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
I might be able to help.

Best place to get me is on IRC channel #Carbon-Fusion

If you know how to use an irc chat im there a lot.

I have a completly new method.

A way to make a bootable sd card.

But we need a backup from a fully unlocked device.

Bottloader and S-OFF

To make it work right.
[HTC Desire 526] gda_scooby:
OK, interesting - i have a 3rd damaged M9 arriving in the next few days, so will definitely be able (and like) to get involved. HTC Bootloader is easy, not done S-off before, so will look into that, probably pretty straightforward?

I have used IRC before, so will join tonight, after my reading through the thread.
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
Sounds good, I think i will create a thread in the developer section with all of the sd card building details. I have been trying to ranch out to other devices so if your willing to help and test were in good shape
[HTC Desire 526] gda_scooby:
OK i have done my 'homework':-

laptop with ubuntu

htc m9, rooted, booted and s-off

so now need to flash stock and make a backup ?

RUU for the 526 Verizon Other Carrier Version link is dead

RUU for the 526 Verizon Other Carrier Version link is dead
[HTC Desire 526] Qwerty Uiop Keyboard:
Ooh! Nice!

I have an Alcatel A571vl. Same SOC (MSM8909) that I'm trying to crack, mostly out of spite for Tracfone.

Long story short, the bootloader cannot be unlocked (as far as I can tell). SELinux (man, I hate the NSA...) cannot be disabled under android and EDL/QDL is purposefully disabled via the "vol up+vol down" button combination.

The main idea now is to either:

-Write a kernel module that implements "kexec" and boots the phone off the sdcard, where SELinux is nonexistant.

-Physically modify the device to enable "glitching" of the NAND/DRAM bus to FORCE the BootROM to enter download mode. From there, pwn the device via "firehose" and boot it off the sdcard.

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
It's "poutlook /contacts" if memory serves me right. I don't have it in front of me to confirm, it, though. (Or maybe it's "poutlook contact" without the "s" and with no "/")

First i wanna say that it's my first huawei phone and i never flashed one but looking around in this forum i notice that it's really different that other manufacturers phones.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Potato997:
Just ignore him, he had troubles flashing firmware and now he tells everyone to stay on stock. We are on XDA lol

First of all, you have to unlock bootloader witch tutorial can be found on Guides subforum. It isn't difficult and you do not risk to brick your phone.

After you managed to unlock the bootloader, you have to install TWRP, you can find download and How to install it here:http://www.meticulus.co.vu/p/twrp-for-huawei-p9-lite.html?m=1

Then download RR and the latest Gapps Arm64 6.0 and follow the instructions from here:

http://www.meticulus.co.vu/p/hi6250-custom-rom-installation.html?m=1

Do everything is written, the procedure to flash RR is the same as CM.

Huawei devices are a little complicated with encryption stuffs so be sure to read carefully every single step of the tutorial. If you follow all the instructions you will not have any problem, good luck!

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Potato997:
Telling on XDA to not flash a ROM is like to go in a church and tell "do not believe in God". (It is just an example, don't take it personally. I respect everyone's religion).

If someone ask how to flash a ROM/Mod it means that he is aware of the eventual risks. If you just want to say everytime "it's better to flash only official firmware/wait for OTA update", yeah you are surely right. But you must understand that lots of people want to flash custom ROMs and Mods and accepts the risk of having problems. These people are 99℅ of XDA community.

If you keep go around the forum to just tell people to not flash anything it's normal that we become a little rude. I hope you understand, have a good day.

In China , someone made TWRP for 402SH,but this TWRP was some defect,

can't charge battery out for android system(like TWRP or under shutdown the phone),

etc.

P.s. this is paid service( to producer )and i am not a producer.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Mipoi:
The main reason I want to root is to use button mapping, and root apps like Xposed Installer and ViperFX. I'm not really interested in huge modifications like custom recovery or custom roms.

I'd like to request service from that developer if his method enables just the ones I mentioned above. It's too bad that I can't speak Chinese, so I have no way of reaching him.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jdmsohc22:
So I just found the Pixel XL dialer on youtube and it looks awesome, and I also saw the Nexus Visual Voice Mail and thought wow, that's awesome too.. So I tried to copy the Nexus vvm over to my system/priv-app folder, and modify the permissions to 775, but Root Browser won't let me change permissions and if I try to use Root Explorer it just shows a blank screen when I open the app (not sure if it's Nougat friendly yet), so I'm just curious if any of you guys have done this kinda stuff, and if so how did you manage to have success at it..?? I figured if it's the same DPI range, same OS, and files are even named the same, it should work right..?

Thanks!

EDIT: So upon researching this some, it appears that LG uses a "LGContact" file in system/priv-app's and not a dialer.apk, so I don't know how to go about adding in say, the Pixel XL dialer.. Hmm, oh well just figured it'd be a cool thing to try but at this point I'm thinking it'd probably screw something up if I tried it.. I'm still interested in hearing from those who have done this if you care to chime in..

I use an older version of Google Dialer without a problem. I had to sideload it but everything works fine except for voicemail - messages won't appear. The version number is 2.05.07_rc4. Google added a patch after that version that won't allow it to work on other phones. After installing it, you just select it as the default app for phone calls and it handles both incoming and outgoing calls. I'm not rooted and didn't have to change any permissions to get it working.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bimmerboii:
If you are sticking with the default/stock EMUI launcher, there are 2 ways to alphabetize your app list. Yes, you can just install a new launcher but personally I prefer using the stock launchers. I enjoy using all manufacturer launchers (touchwiz, sense, etc.) as I get to know the characteristics of one brand from another.

1) Hit "Settings", "Home screen style" , then select ""Drawer". This will enable an app drawer icon on your home screen and all the apps are automatically sorted in alphabetical order.

2) If you want to stick with the "Standard" layout without the app drawer icon (similar to iOS), there is no option in the settings to sort the apps in alphabetical order. Manually moving around the icons is such a mess. However, there is a workaround to this:

Hit "Settings", scroll down and hit "Apps", hit "More" and hit "Show system processes".

Scroll down and hit "Huawei Home", hit "Storage" and hit "CLEAR DATA" and "CLEAR CACHE".

That's it. When you press home your apps will be in alphabetical order. However, you will have to repeat this process every time you install/uninstall apps.

Clearing data not working

Hi,

Thank you for publishing this tip, but clearing Huawei Home data and cache didn't work on my Huawei P20 with Android 8.1. Icons haven't been alphabetized, they were just moved to fill the empty spaces between them. Moreover, this has completely destroyed all my folders!

Do you have a trick that would work with Android 8.1, or Android 9 to which I can update ?

Thanks in advance!

I want to use kaiser's Wifi + Activesync to use the internet on PC-2

Is it possible ???

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
1) Activesync internet passthrough only works the other way

2) If you are prepared to do a reg hack, then you can share your internet connection using ICS from your device to your pc (as it only works via BT or USB normally).

BUT you will need to undo the hack whenever you want to use it any other way...

3) It would be a hell of a lot simpler to buy a USB wifi dongle for second pc though...

Simply type in that Trusted Voice disabled itself and submit. The only way we get this fixed is by telling them about it.
