Help

I was searching for a solution for this tablet. As stated on this thread, this one is very difficult to root or to change the recovery because it's very well locked by vodafone.

This tablet is stuck on Android 6.0.1 and i would like to change the build.prop in order to change to userdebug to activate the multiwindow feature.

I just wanted to change this file, as getting root seams to be impossible (i have tried this thread but i am not able to get root or install a custom recovery to do it).

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

Newest Firmware Stuck

I made a mistake!

I flash recovery via newest firmware and device can't open anymore!

How to return back edl mode?

Device won't boot up!

Bootanimation appears but doesn't open!

Stock Recovery works!

Also this returns me to Charging Animation

Changing build.prop is doesn't work in this tablet. If you have custom recovery, back to edl mode and reinstall firmware.

Vdf 1400 stuck in Android logo boot

Hi

First i would thank this group for helping me rooting this device a year ago.

Unfortunately , i tried to factory reset it and by accident i did wipe the system partition.

Tablet is stuck in boot logo.

Can not use Sugar software to flash the rom.

I can access adb with pc.

adb devices is showing the tablet connected.

Any advice please how to flash the rom with adb or any other method ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
Sorted !!

I managed to flash rom with a home made edl cable and alcatel mobile upgrade tool .

Sugar credentials are nowhere to find.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
It's still possible to flash/root the newest version of the tablet even without sugar via firehose. A little riskier, but also easier at the same time.

I'll upload the files later.

While researching yesterday, i also found a curious looking kernel source/device tree with TCL commits etc pp for our MSM :D

https://github.com/sztablet2016
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
Updated both packages (v2)!

So, here are the files for the NEWEST update

150FDG1 aka 1BEQFDQ0 (November 6, 2017 security patch level).

####

If your tablet is still on an older version:

Update via OTA (keep data/userdata)

or

Update via Mobile Upgrade Q (factory reset tablet)

####

Put the tablet into EDL mode.

Either via "adb.exe reboot edl" (enable USB debugging) or with an EDL cable.

Make sure you have the correct Qualcomm 9008 driver installed.

Then just execute flash.bat within the download package and make sure to enter the correct COM port. For example COM27.

Boot and recovery will be erased and flashed automatically.

The script doesn't have ANY checks in it, so make sure to enter the correct comport as described. Neither is there any verification of the flashed files.

If your tablets eMMc is not broken, everything should be fine.

As always, flash at YOUR own risk!

This will not erase your data/userdata!

Afterwards just boot into recovery and flash magisk or supersu.

If anyone is interested in also wanting to flash a clean system:

Clean System Package Download v2

Download WITHOUT system (Boot/Recovery only)

https://drive.google.com/uc?authuser=0&id=1NintcH9AtRtk04eeG7b6TTY_u04DgXvi&export=download

Updated both packages (v2)!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
Thanks for your effort.

How to find the correct COM port ?

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
Check your device manager, or the devices listed after executing flash.bat

It comes up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
Thanks but unfortunately did not work

Patch stated as successful but nothing happened..

Can not sideload supersu..

Still not rooted

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
Well, its pretty easy to know if it worked or not.

After flashing you should be able to boot into CM recovery.

If so, the reason you can't flash supersu is because you're probably not using a signed one.

'fused's CM-13.0 recovery still has zip signature verification enabled.

Just use the attached zip.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
Well again and after using the signed zip supersu zip file,

got the same signature verification error.

Hope it does work for someone else.

I appreciate your help Dreamdx.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
Are you sure you are in Cyanogenmod recovery, not the stock one ?

Edit:

If you're sure that the flashing succeeds, and you're NOT in CM recovery, it might be that the recovery gets overwritten with the stock one on first boot.

If so, directly after turning the tablet back on, while booting, press the

Power

and the

Vol-Down

button together, and keep them pressed until the tablet turns off, 3 seconds later on again, and then off again. Release.

Now start the tablet via Power and Vol-Up in recovery directly.

I currently have four VFD1400, all updated and running on my clean system image with Magisk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
As you said, recovery has been overwitten by the the Stock recovery.

Tablet been rebooted many times since the flash.

Should i flash it again and apply the power-volume down method ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
Sure, you can do that
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
No luck as i did tried twice.

It may work only with clean install.

I had it rooted for over a year with Sugar software but had to reset it.

Sugar credentials are no more working.

Hi

I used dreamdx latest method but now my tablet is opening with directly stock recovery not booting into android desktop

It looks i bricked it

I can reach fastboot mode with power + volume up keys and adb mode in the stock recovery

Is there any way to flash the stock rom with fastboot or adb mode in stock recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
No

You need to reboot in edl mode and use Alcatel upgrade tool.

The only way to get to edl mode is with an edl cable.

Look on YouTube on how to make an edl cable at home, very easy..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
nvm
[Miscellaneous Android Development] serdar877:
Thanks a lot for your quick reply

I made an edl cable very easily and now my device shows as qualcomm hs usb qdloader 9008 in device manager

Is VF1400 right option for our tablet in mobile upgrade tool q
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
Yes vf1400.

mobile upgrade tool may tell that you have the latest software at first .

So Do it again..

Good luck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
Updated both packages (v2) in my original post here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77891842&postcount=45

If you already flashed the old version and are also stuck in recovery, you need to throw together your own EDL cable.

There was an error in the script that i missed even after double checking. Sry about that. Your tablet is NOT bricked.

Afterwards v2 can be flashed no problem. Confirmed working!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] serdar877:
I flashed stock rom with mobile upgrade

And then i flashed your v2 patch

In cm recovery i flashed supersu signed zip

Root works, thanks

Can you post nov 17 ota stock boot.img and recovery.img

I want to patch boot.img with magisk manager and flash it with your script
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:
Excellent job Dreamdx !!

Patch works perfect..

Device rooted..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:
Here you go:

Unmodified Stock Recovery & Boot (Nov '17 / 1BEQFDQ0)

Why don't you just install the Magisk framework via CM rec directly ?

Edit:

Currently working on TWRP. Booting already, but it's going to be a day or two i guess. Depending on my free time ;)

Complete userdata wipe might be necessary though, because it comes pre-encrypted from TCL/Vodafone :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slim2100:

Would you post Magisk signed zip please..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dreamdx:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63615067&postcount=2459

As stated there, you should also re-flash boot.img. Just check my flash.bat and look for the relevant commands, or just execute it again and also reflash CM.

I'd like to connect to Wi-Fi at home but outside of home I want it to be off. But situation gets a bit tricky when I want Wi-Fi at work to be on as well. Now there isn't a choice like that.

Any way to adjust these settings?

I have been wanting the exact same thing. I would also love it if I could customize the one where when my Bluetooth connects to a car it launches an app for me. I wish I could add my car and my wife's car but unfortunately it can only be one car. What would also be great is if you could create new smart settings and customize them from scratch instead of being limited to the four that are there.

Hi brother! Can you help me get the root functionality and recovery back on this device? I was so excited before flashing it. But after flashing, I've lost the recovery and there's no root too.

Hi.

1. Flash boot.img from zip

2. Boot into recovery

3. Flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 "link: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-m/development/recovery-cwm-twrp-recoveries-custom-roms-t3016507" via recovery

4. Reboot and go again into recovery

5. Flash SuperSU-v2.79 -- this make a root

6. Reboot

..can be ? :)
[Sony Xperia M] Prem Chowdhary:
Are you saying that there is no root without Super SU??

maybe are any different techniques, but this is the fastest method how to get root, only flash this .zip :) ..i think that easiest way doesn't exist :) .. and if you want delete a root, on google play exist app from chainfire to remove ;)

LineageOS 20170131 Nightly

I just did a quick install of LineageOS 20170131 Nightly.

There is no default system su i.e no root access.

There is a BASIC Cyanogenmod Recovery with no functionality, but it removes my original TWRP 3.0.2 recovery.

I then thought I'd just reinstall TWRP 3.0.2 by Fastboot and see if I could reboot back into LineageOS 20170131 Nightly...No.

I just re-installed a AOSP 7.1 build until I've had a bit more of a think.

SO.... I then thought I'd better have a look/read and see what other people are doing.... :D

Using LineageOS 20170131 Nightly seemed stable and usable for the short time I was using it. WiFi all OK.

No problems installing it.

It does take 11½ minutes (i.e. a VERY long time) for the first initial boot to load.

The LineageOS startup animation logo does appear quickly on the first boot (Less than a minute).

You'll be staring at the circle expanding/contracting on the arc for a VERY long time though.

So leave it 15minutes+ before you consider pulling the battery.

Anyway, that's my show and tell.

Update - Root access is available when you install the su.zip at the initial build (

LineageOS extras

)

You may have problems installing SuperSU if that's your thing, as it may be a restricted SU built into the LineageOS menu only.

SU options are inside developer menu which is activated by a few taps on build number in About menu.

I still haven't worked out how to set TWRP as default recovery.
[Sony Xperia M] olibub:
..if i understand corretly what you say, :this depends on developer.. to cm13 was always root but from cm developers "not custom developers" except AOSP etc. "NOT" ..for example on cm 14 should be a root :)

[Sony Xperia M] krouma:
I didn't have any problems with adopted storage. I also recommend to make backup of boot and recovery in TWRP. Right after flashing LineageOS experimental restore them because versions from 25.1. don't have them.
[Sony Xperia M] digt:
Great tip Krouma.

Then:

- make backup in twrp

- install lineagos experimental (about 10 minuts)

- restore boot and recovery

- reboot system (experimental lineageos)

- reboot in twrp

- install last lineageos, gapps and addonsu

- reboot system

In this way I upgraded to lineage from cm 14.1 and all seem work, without wipe anything.

[Sony Xperia M] seanp25:
I've installed the experimental build, but like many users I now have no TWRP and also no other type of recovery.

When I choose reboot into recovery from the reboot menu (or when I do adb reboot recovery), the phone restarts and LineageOS loads without any recovery,

I can get into fastboot OK.

Any idea what I can do from here to get TWRP installed? (or flash anything at all?)

I was trying [MENTION=5897405]olibub[/MENTION] 's steps:

1. Flash boot.img from zip (for this, I did sudo fastboot boot boot.img)

2. Boot into recovery (this still doesn't work, after flashing boot using the above command. OS just restarts).

I should also say, this is all using the experiemental migration rom build.
[Sony Xperia M] olibub:
..using cmd or flashtool ?
[Sony Xperia M] seanp25:
This was using fastboot from a terminal on Linux.

I'll try using flashtool, have you some advice which options I should use in flashtool?

EDIT: I tried flashing boot.img using flashtool (fastboot mode), but it seems I still can't reboot into recovery.

Thanks, Rashr needs root unfortunately, which I don't have. It seems I'm stuck. I need root to flash TWRP and need TWRP to get root.

The only way out is for me to get the Lineage OS recovery working, which I haven't seen yet.
[Sony Xperia M] olibub:
if is it a possible, try to flash original tft firmware for your device via flashtool , "if succesfully" , download 3.0.2.0 twrp and flash via fastboot "link https://dl.twrp.me/nicki/" ..after this step download 2.8.6.0 twrp "link https://xdaforums.com/xperia-m/development/recovery-cwm-twrp-recoveries-custom-roms-t3016507 and flash this via recovery... after this try to flash any rom zip :)
[Sony Xperia M] seanp25:
Thanks for the advice.

In the mean time I got back into TWRP by flashing the boot.img from the 20170207 build (instead of the boot.img from the experimental migration build). And I can get back into TWRP now.
