[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob1791:
Hi guys, i have a big problem. I tried to update my girlfriend's phone (huawei g play mini chc-u01). I read some guides and i downloaded all firmwares from huawei site, unlock bootloader and tried to install updates. But at some point, phone won't boot up ! I made a mistake ! Now the situation is that when i turn on the phone, it shows the honor logo. I tried to flash via fastboot the system, recovery and boot image that i extracted from UPDATE.APP of the firmware taken from huawei site. Also tried to flash twrp recovery and find out a way to unbrick phone, but nothing. I can't find anything that works. An other thing is that in fastboot mode, when i type some erase command, output is remote command not allowed, but flash command seems to work.

How can i restore phone ? Is not there a way to restore it, I can make a aspo or cm based rom from system.img and other stock stuff ? Just split image to see files inside.

The last thing and maybe the core of mistake. I flash via twrp an oem file and then honor logo is appeared.

Thanks at all guys !

Edit: I finally restored phone. it works again flashing its lollipop version firmware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khalidhamdy:
how did you restore your phone :) ?

I have a g play mini chc-u01 and I upgraded it directly from android 4.4.2 (c185b067 ) to 6.0 (c185b560 ) but this build has many issues. now I want to downgrade to lollipop but I can't get into the recovery mode. whenever I try to enter the recovery mode, the bootloop happens. I tried to flash the system recovery extracted from UPDATE.APP but it didn't work neither did twrp. so can you show me the steps you made to restore your phone :) ??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphazero1990:
Hello there i need your help. I have a Philips 55pus6501/12 it's a 2016 model. The TV started bootlooping a week ago. It loads android shows the current selected tv channel for 5 seconds and restarts. I successfuly got into recovery mode and updated it to the latest version. With no luck it still reboots/crashes. On XDA there is a threat for fixing Philips TV bootloops but the included file "wipedatatool.upg" is not for my tv. So they wrote that the file is located in the filesystem at \etc\virgin. For those TVs who are not on the list.

Is there a way that i can get this wipedatatool.upg out of the TV in recovery mode? Or if someone has the same tv could send me that file. Because i searched google the heck out of it and didn't find anything.

Hello, i found a gear fit2 while out jogging, advertised to try find the owner and no one replied, so now i have this unit ....i did a factory reset and of course now the activation lock is on by the original owner. Is there a way of resetting this so i can use it? Is it a firmware installation process i need to do to solve this? or do i just throw it in the rubbish bin?

Thanks in advance for any help.:o
[Samsung Gear Fit] dersie:
same issue when bought a Gear S2 on ebay. Returned the watch, can not do anything to remove activation lock easily.

For Gear S2 there is a guy wich can unlock with remote PC connection and it ask $45 (search youtube for Gear S2 activation lock).

I BOUGHT THE FILES. once i have done the process and check it works i will post the links here for free. if someone can help me creating the tutorial that will be nice (im lazzy) will hit with news soon as i have them
[Samsung Gear Fit] faisalsiddiqui:
hi, did you get around to uploading the files somewhere? We will be eternally thankful if you can kindly upload and share the files & if you were able to create any tutorial with us. Thanks

alguna solucion?
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
Hi did you ever finish? I would be happy to pay you some$ for the files. I'd rather pay you than one of these jerks trying to extort money from people on youtube.

So it's not hard to put the thing into download mode wireless, and connect to it over wifi with my computer. the rest of the process and the files though, I don't have.

Thanks

I paid 30usd and he unlocked it for me. It works great. 1hr.

What ADB Commands are Needed?

Getting the files is not a big deal, it's what you do once you have them that matters. The part that's missing that all the Shady greedy unlock service providers try to hide from you when they do the removal process, are the ADB Commands they use to remove the activation lock.

Basically they use net Odin and recovery wireless download mode (AP) to flash firmware revision that lets you enter developer mode and enable ADB, and then ADB into the Gear Fit 2 and remove the lock via ADB command, while they have Echo off to hide what they're doing in the command window.

after it's done and you reboot, you net Odin flash to regular retail firmware. And you're done

Does anyone know the ADB Commands are once the Fit 2 is connected, to remove activation lock?

Could be common to what is done for Samsung's other Tizen smart watches.
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
Do you still have the steps? Other than the files what are the ADB Commands once connected? Thanks
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
Steps for everyone else since the OP seems to have disappeared. Here is the basics, what we're missing are the ADB commands to remove the actual protection. Someone can fill in the blank please since I saw everything but those commands (they were hidden)

1. Download Net Odin and install. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1...WhHTzFLNHhTbUk - Also have ADB installed on your computer. Minimal ADB and Fastboot is one package you can use for this.

2. Also youll need to download a gear fit 2 factory diagnostic? firmware here ver U1DQH1 works - http://www.gsm-file.com/files/factorysw-combination-file-6378 . And a set of normal firmware. Such as from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1...Wp6MnNsWHpLelE

3. Hold power down on gear fit 2 until you see rebooting in blue, while it says that hit power button 2-3 times to get to bootloader menu. use power to move to Download (wireless) and hold power down to select. as soon as it enters Download wireless mode, hit power twice quickly to change to AP mode.

4. Run Net Odin and leave it running. Then go to your wireless settings and connect to the now-visible Gear Fit 2. After a few minutes, Net Odin should show an IP address in the box on the left.

5. Click the AP button in Net Odin and load the unzipped combination FTMA file you downloaded above. Hit Start and flash it. Once done, Fit 2 will reboot to a screen with yellow diagnostic info. Hit Power, settings, connection, wifi, turn it on, then connect to your wireless internet connection.

6. Once connected, then touch that network connection in the Fit 2 connection list to open up details, and note the ip address (example: 192.168.201.12).

7. Hit back button to go back into settings, then Gear Info, then enable developer mode (this enables ADB), then hit back to back out of settings menu

8. Open up a command prompt window in the directory where you have adb.exe, and type adb connect IPADDRESS:26101

- note IPADDRESS is your Ip address you noted above, and the :26101 is a port number. So using above example, I would type:

adb connect 192.168.201.12:26101

9. Once connected, type adb devices and you should see it listed.

10. THIS IS THE MISSING STEP - here are the ADB commands to remove the activation lock settings/flags. SOMEONE PLEASE FILL THIS IN

11. Once step 10 is done, hold power to reboot your Fit 2 (it's ready to be flashed with retail firmware), and just like before, but it into Download wireless mode, and AP mode.

-to check if the lock is removed, you can instead first select download mode (USB) instead of wireless, and see if it says ACTIVATION LOCK:eek:FF to confirm/doublecheck

12. In Net Odin take your unzipped retail firmware files and place each file as named in filenames, in the appropriate slots for AP, CSC, and BL. Hit Start to flash.

13. Once done and rebooted, should be clean and good to go.

These steps should pretty much encapsulate the process of what these guys are doing via Teamviewer, it's the ADB steps we are missing. Hopefully there's someone out there not trying to profit off of everyone whos nice enough to help us fill that part in. Thanks.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jaminos:
Thanks PaulieP for the tutorial... I need this but your files on drive are 404, can you add shared link please ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] jdmst77:
I just found a gear fit2 on my bike ride this morning. I'd be pretty upset if I lost this myself so I wanted to see what my options are for returning it to its owner. With technology today, I'd assume that there's gotta be some way to find the owner of a device...

Does anyone have any ideas
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
Guess they pulled the files but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of places to download Net Odin. For the factory firmware you can also get it from the other site (gsm-files).

I want to reiterate though that those files are useless in removing activation lock unless we have the ADB commands the unlockers use - as mentioned in the missing step 10 of the tutorial.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jaminos:
Yeah I saw that... That's ****ty.... :(
[Samsung Gear Fit] jaminos:
Hey! Can you explain how it does the trick ? Does it send you files or something ?

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

Hey dit you download the factory diagnostic file ? it's not free on gsm-files and I don't like that... If you can share with me, I appreciate ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
They do it exactly the way I outlined in the tutorial / step-by-step, that is the only way any of them that offer paid services do it.

Again, the only way we are able to do it ourselves, is if someone fills in the missing ADB commands for us that these unlockers keep hidden when they are connected via Teamviewer.

The files will not help you without this information above, there is no bypass without those ADB commands to remove the reactivation lock from a Samsung Tizen device.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jaminos:
I understand but dis you download a factory diagnostic firmware ? I want to try ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] jdmst77:
so I might be doing the youtube activation removal process for the gear fit 2 that I found on my bike ride. so far I've read prices ranging form $30-$45. Does anyone know what's the lowest price paid for this "service"?

second. I'm not totally clear on how the process works but I assume that someone remotely connects to my machine, with the watch connected, and runs some unknown adb commands on my system. This leads me to my second question. If I pay for this service, is there any way to capture the keystrokes by using some sort of key logger?

If anyone can help me out with finding this information, I'll gladly post the adb commands for anyone to use
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
The process works exactly how I outlined in my step by step a few posts back.

The missing part are the ADB commands which are hidden valley the use of Echo Off in the command window .

You will need some sort of keylogger or capture that will record even keystrokes in a command prompt window with Echo Off.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jdmst77:
I found a few options. I'm not sure how to test to see if any of these will work: https://www.raymond.cc/blog/free-and-simple-keylogger-to-monitor-keystrokes-in-windows/
[Samsung Gear Fit] jaminos:
Just ask someone to connect to your screen and echoff the terminal commands...

On my side, I gone to a samsung service center and done the job for 40$
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
​

Simple. Test each by installing each, rebooting if that's needed to get them running, then open a command window, then enter echo off, then type and enter a couple of lines.

.check to see If the commands you entered while echo off, were captured.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

If you manage to successfully capture the commands and they work, I'll PayPal you $15
[Samsung Gear Fit] jdmst77:
the commands were captured but they were visible on the screen while I was typing. I'm not sure if I did that right:

C:\Windows\System32>echo off
whoami
edge15\jdmst
cd ..
echo on

C:\Windows>

Output from keylogger:

cmd (Windows Command Processor - whoami)
echo[Space]off[Enter]whoami[Enter]
User: jdmst Date: 10/19/2017 Time: 11:25:24 AM

cmd (Windows Command Processor)
cd[Space]..[Enter]
User: jdmst Date: 10/19/2017 Time: 11:26:04 AM

cmd (Windows Command Processor)
echo[Space]on[Enter]
User: jdmst Date: 10/19/2017 Time: 11:26:30 AM

When commands are saved into a .bat file and it's opened, nothing returns. not sure if this is what you mean...
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
Actually my bad, you need to call it in a batch file, add [MENTION=8011874]Echo off[/MENTION] at the top of the batch. I think they're doing a redirect to NUL in the script too to hide all input and output.

But at least for test purposes maybe running a batch with Echo Off and seeing if your keylogger still works might be fine.

If it's logging everything that cmd sees I think it should be fine

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2044882/how-to-hide-batch-output
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
If it's capturing everything being passed to Windows' command processor it would seem to do the trick.

If you go ahead and buy the service and you're able to successfully capture what those guys are doing while connected over ADB I'll send you $15 as a bounty, as mentioned. Thanks
[Samsung Gear Fit] jdmst77:
Sorry folks... After further investigation, my device was never activated and I didn't have to go through this process. I added it to my Samsung account and my profile copied over, deleting everything from the previous user... No activation required.
[Samsung Gear Fit] PaulieP:
Great, how exactly did you do this?

Also what keylogger was it that you were using / that you found? Might be useful for me. Thanks.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jdmst77:
I used "Best Free Keylogger - Lite" v5.2.5 on Windows 10

I also tried to connect to a different android device and run a simple adb command and it did log the "ls" command after being connected through an adb shell.

Test it out for yourself, of course, but the logger seemed to work for me.

More thoughts on this Reactivation Lock issue

Guys please don't give up on this. If this "Reactivation Lock" can be bypassed (hacked!) via wifi by a paid service/individual, then it proves this is possible, and NOT impossible! Because there's a lot of users (like myself) that would love to do this without a cost attached, and I don't like people making money off others who are (honestly) stuck with a device they purchased and are locked out. How crazy and stupid (by Samsung) is that! I blame Samsung in not providing an easier way for those Gear Fit2 (and other Samsung wearable devices too!) who can legitimately show proof they paid for the item (either on eBay, Amazon or other). Samsung does not have a (easy or convenient) work around solution for those users. To Samsung, not everyone's the "original owner" of their wearable devices and should not have to go thru the stress or sometimes torture towards making it fare and right! I found out later that my device had an internal (Reactivation) lock after waiting almost two months to do a factory reset. I didn't know better to do a factory reset right after buying it on eBay, and after so many days passed I was out of luck to return or complain to eBay. Yes it was a stupid thing to do but should I or anyone else know this kind of thing especially when it's kind of hidden from you. So for those users who are in the same boat like myself, stuck with a locked device that they paid good money for, we all need to fix this problem and not give up. We need a real hero (if you will) like the others on this site who have pooled their resources and expertise in solving issues and problems that help (not hurt) others for the benefit of all. Sorry for the long statement but I feel it's need and hopefully it motivates some of you.

No news??

I just bought a gear fit 2 on ebay and it had reactivation lock on it. No answer from seller, and due to shipping time and custums no warranty available....

A little bit of Step 10. Trial and error.

Hi guys,

Sorry, a little bit of background. My son bought this from a friend, and the friend didn't know to remove the Reactivation Lock, so here I am.

As for Step 10, I've gotten a little further. I stumbled across some Russian website referring to 2 files, reactivationlock.h and reactivationlock_log.h. I've ADB'd into the SM-R360 (gear fit2), and retrieved these 2 files from this location: /usr/include/, using

adb pull /usr/include/reactivationlock.h

reactivationlock.h:

reactivationlock_log.h:

So, my thinking is, either we erase these 2 files, or modify. I don't understand the code, but if anyone else can provide some help on commands, that would be great.

I've tried to modify the file and push it back

adb push Sreactivationlock.h /usr/include/

, but it didn't work, even after I tried the "su" it

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /usr

Help please! :D
[Samsung Gear Fit] FLARE2:
I have a file!!!!

Guys,

I paid this guy $35 US to fix my gear Fit2, and he used TeamViewer to access my laptop. Some files were copied to the desktop, and I managed to remember the folder name. Needless to say, all the files were deleted. I used a file recovery program, and managed to recover the DOS batch file that had "Echo off" in the beginning. This would be part of Step 10. I will post the files.

I never tested it. But it's a start. I looked at the code, and it made no sense to me.

Hope this works for whomever needs it.

thx,

FLARE2

I tried to install again the stock rom in a lucky shot but the lock still apper.

Meanwhile the battery was dead and I couldnt experience more. Is there any way to use the combination ROM to unlock the bracelet ...or any other way?? I will try to find more info while the charger I order arrives :P
[Samsung Gear Fit] geezazkrays:
for the step 10.

i think? :confused:

adb continue

then keep pushing the firmware using adb command, and also do the adb on those old windows OS like windows 7. that was i noticed, i can't push the file using those windows 8 and 10. and if you do adb push on the first time it won't go thru so just keep doing the same command and eventually it will go thru. :victory:
[Samsung Gear Fit] due:
no just push an empty file to the device then dd it to mmcblk0p15

then reboot to download using sdb shell reboot download

the point is you need an empty 256kb file and btw you can do it yourself with hxd editor

that should do the trik

So the below from PaulieP is all correct, and thanks to him/her for the point in the right direction.

Point 10 command are as follows

adb root on

adb push empty.bin /opt/usr/media/

adb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p15

adb shell reboot download

I have included all the files required to complete the whole process yourself in a single rar file so you don't have to search the interwebs for them. Sorry to them that just need the empty.bin as the rar is about 600mb.

KEEP IT ALL FREE!!! :good::good::good::good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] desolli:
In my case I did something different but with the same commands.

You just have to download the SDB files according with your OS and follow the instructions.

-Run ansicon app and type this:

sdb connect YOUR IP:26101

sdb root on

sdb push empty.bin /opt/usr/media/

sdb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p15

sdb shell reboot download

Finally in the download mode screen you can see the reactivation lock in off state, now you can install the official firmware (AP, BL, CSC files) with odin and avoid the lock

EMPTY FILE is here to download (unrar)

If have any problem to connect at first step, kill sdb and restart using this command:

sdb kill-server

sdb start-server
