[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, I have a suggestion......go to the thread where you got your ROM and ask there, all ROM issues are supposed to be posted in the ROM thread that the problematic ROM came from, that's what they are for.

Since you said it does this on more than one ROM, it might be an issue with the source they were built from, in this case, the developers that built the ROMs will have to solve this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] SWAT10101:
Thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
I dunno, but I thought maybe I could make a separate thread about a possible way to poke into the LeapFrog Epic's preloader so it could accept unsigned images. LeapFrog won't spill the beans for us, as their staff (falsely) claims to know next to nothing about it, so unless we somehow managed to social-engineer them into giving us a signed ROM or an unlocked bootloader, our only chance is to patch it so it would ignore the lack of digital signatures.

What I've done so far is to run a strings check on the preloader and uboot binaries - fastboot seems watered down somehow as it lacked references to "oem unlock" and so on, but none of that Amazon Fire-style failsafe seems present from what I can tell.

Preloader: http://pastebin.com/H9QbzqC0

lk: http://pastebin.com/kSxRKYna

Boot files from the latest firmware revision are attached here, so if anyone is interested, please please please let me know so we can fix bricked units and finally port TWRP to this underrated kids' tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gibz97:
Bumping the thread.

Would also like to know is this is possible

If I may ask, how did you extract the strings from preloader and lk? Did you use a hexeditor or there is another app?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
I used this utility to do a strings dump off an Epic ROM:

http://split-code.com/strings2.html

It did turn up some interesting stuff but I was wondering if a binwalk or perhaps an IDA disassembly analysis would do wonders so we can finally poke into this tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gibz97:
Thanks for the tool but I cannot seem find a way to use it.
[MENTION=5440600]gursewak.10[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4666511]smartmanvartan[/MENTION] please chime in to help us because they were able to hack the preloader of k4 note and lk of RCA Viking Pro respectively
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
I also know a friend who is willing to donate a spare Epic, if that helps. ;)

As for using Strings2, the following batch script should work:

@echo off
strings2 %1 > test.txt
pause

Just drag a binary to be analysed into the batch file, and a resulting text file with strings and stuff should be generated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gursewak.10:
Hello friend

You need to tweak lk to unlock bootloader . i am giving you my phone's both files(.you can easily compare them.

on unlocked bootloader u can flash unsigned images via write memory option of SP flash tool .

Try HxD hex editor
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
Hmm, I can flash the preloader to my leapfrog via SPFT, but not anything else. Write memory works, and I can flash stuff one at a time to it, but I couldn't get the tablet to force itself out of flash/download mode and into normal mode. There's no reset button, and not even taking the battery off does the trick.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
However, on my working Epic, I can alter the demo system image, flash it back using Write Memory and still end up with a working device, just as long as the preloader isn't messed with in any way. Right now I am at a loss as to how to revive my other Epic, short of taking it apart and shorting KCOLO and GND. It also didn't help that the testpoints aren't labeled at all. :/

Also, I did a quick logcat while running the FOTA utility, and I managed to get a few URLs off the said logs. Problem is that while the ZIPs may be of some use, they're incremental and there doesn't seem to be a full scatter/zip image to restore a faulty unit. There definitely needs to be a way to patch the bootloader so we can do whatever we want to it, but is there any one of you guys who are experts when it comes to MTK modding?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
Any more ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
Anyone, please?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
Bumping in case there's anyone interested in poking into this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Warrior1988:
Now this is interesting let us see what we can do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
You happen to have an Epic with you? Please let me know if you need more than just the firmware images. I've tried contacting LeapFrog regarding this issue to no avail. They did give my friend and I the kernel sources, but it's no use as the bootloader has to be unlocked for custom boot or recovery images to be used.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
Is anyone willing to test if SP Flash Tool 5.1532.00 works on the Epic? I managed to flash a complete system image to a bricked Epic but I was unable to revive it as it has been bricked prior due to a botched preloader flash. The ROM's on my main Epic discussion thread, but one should take note to flash just the boot, recovery and system images and see if the device still works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SP6RK:
im also poking around in this since my volume up button doesnt work in bootloader mode

i have a figo gravity x55l

i can also upload the stock rom files that can be checked if needed
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
Are you able to muck around with LK or sbchk using IDA Pro or some other tool? Makes me wonder if merely deleting /system/bin/sbchk would disable boot-time checks or if there's more to it than just that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SP6RK:
well i tried hex editors but lk.bin isnt decoded for my rom so half of my lk file is not showing me anything exept weird characters but i can see some of the other half.

if you delete the file...will it brick?...will it even boot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SP6RK:
GREAT NEWS I MANAGED TO GET ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER ALL YOU NEED IS TO

1.download your firmware and extract it

2.extract the boot.img from the firmware and put it on your phone REMEMBER WHERE YOU PUT IT SINCE YOU WILL NEED THIS!

3download magiskmanager install it and open it.

4click install and choose the boot.img it will install magisk into it

5.put it back in your firmware folder on your pc

6 look for a file that says Checksum_gen and run it

7 once that completes use spflash tool and load your scatterfile and flash JUST THE BOOT.IMG wait for the reboot and you have root!

THANK YOU DEVELOPERS OF MAGISKMANAGER!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
What device are you referring to? Is this for an MT8127 tablet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SP6RK:
i have a figo gravity x55l ? and it is not a tablet

it is a mt6753 great phone btw!

im a starting developer and got this phone so i can learn from my mistakes of course?

but this should work on any device that you can get a hold of its boot.img from its firmware
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blakegriplingph:
Well that isn't exactly what I am talking about here. I am looking for someone who is able to look into LK or the preloader in order to unlock things.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SP6RK:
try looking into the aboot once you root it im trying to find a way to pull it out so i can edit it but i cant find the aboot file
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] BigDaddyBlue:
Basically I've followed a few different methods and got it to work.

Using the firmware finder apk I downloaded the B182 (full) rom.

While this is downloading... Using es Explorer or similar create a folder called hwff in the root of your main storage.

When it has finished downloading...

Check the md5.

Unpack it.

Move to dload.

Then turn it off.

Turn back on using the 3 finger method.

This will then install B182.

Note: when it reboots it will stay on the Huawei red logo for a few minutes.

Let it finish and you will have B182 working.

***********

Now to update to B361.

I used the combination of Huawei updater 2.0 and HiSense to update.

It found it with no issues and I just left it to update.

**********

Update to B378-FULL

This was simply an OTA update through the normal Settings > Update menu.

Fairly painless, just time consuming really.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Hutchism:
Man the update path on these huawei's is killing me. I've only just taken the plunge. Accidentally turned my c432 into a c900 by double flashing a b166 rom. Took me best part of a day to get it back to c432b166!

The amount of slow crappy downloads we have to make in order to make incremental upgrades. Is there not a way that we can just go straight into a later build without all these rollups?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Natchi:
You can just use the proxy install method within the Firmware Finder app, its very easy.

Just google "how to. using firmware finder youtube" as I cant post direct link, then 99% of the work is done for you
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] BigDaddyBlue:
Hutchism: Sadly not, from what I've seen you can only jump to Nougat from B182 and nothing earlier - Don't ask me why... Makes NO sense!

Natchi: The proxy install method did not work for me. That's why I did it the way I did... All I know is that it worked and I'm running Nougat.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Sammiye:
Hi there, followed your first step with no issues - finally on B182! Struggling to find the B361 update using Hisuite (windows PC), HiCare (app) or the Update app.

Any advice on how to do this? What is Updater 2.0 please?

Thanks very much!

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] deepsaha007:
As title said, anyone can share OnePlus 3T , modem/radio and firmware which supports VoLTE in INDIA i.e for JIO..

Need it urgently , I have USA (North America) variant , currently VoLTE is not supported but 850 band is picking up fine.. Need help in this..
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] akxak:
I got the 3T (US) on Tuesday and after upgrading it to Nougat, I could not get VoLTE and the SMSC configuration to work.

I tried different roms all with the same result. Going back to MM/OOS 3.5.4, VoLTE and SMSC settings did work instantly again.

So the firmware/modem is obviously broken.

Did you try a MM rom/firmware?

Later: Oneplus support stated the following on my report that Nougat OOS 3.5.4 breaks VoLTE, Wifi calling and SMSC setup:

"I highly suggest staying with the 3.5.4 update as of this moment. Our developer team is still working on it and we will make sure that the next update will fix these bugs."

[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
I have an update trying to install itself, but it fails in all ways, even when trying from the PC software. It doesn't say why it fails, but it may be because I'm unlocked or rooted. Also I can't seem to block checking for updates, it comes back time and time again, and has during the last two weeks. Is there a way to kill this stuff?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] HellRoot:
It will fail if you are rooted or unlocked. You can of course uninstall the software update app. It worked on the old z3 but take backup before doing so
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
Thanks! I see. I can understand the rooted part, but unlocked? That's just dumb, to stop upgrades from an unlocked phone. So I used Titanium Backup to freeze it, and we'll see if that helps.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] HellRoot:
It should also warn you that you will not receive updates when unlocking the bootloader. It has always been like that with Sony, all the drm and stuff needs to be intact
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
Thanks, but it wouldn't have stopped me anyway. I will not use a locked/unrooted phone. I want my Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Air Audio and a few other niceties that needs root.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] drakonizer:
We could do that...remove some unnecessary packages from https://github.com/LineageOS/android_vendor_cm/blob/cm-14.1/config/common.mk with a PRODUCT_PACKAGES -= line in the device.mk.

But asking users to repartition to install gApps is better in my opinion, for future official Lineage support. There could be a check in the updater_script to verify the user has repartitioned.

I am pretty sure there is no re-configuration necessary to support repartitioned /system partitions.

If it possible to make los14.1 run stable and sound working it is better to go with los14.1. At least it has upstream support, and some things here works better. I cant make opensource wpa_supplicant working on 12.1, but here it works. Microphone in cm12.1 is also hard to fix, because there is only LD_PRELOAD for lib and microphone require MonoPipe class from 4.4 to work, but it will break other things. On cm13 or los14.1 it is possible to use LD_SHIM_LIBS to fix only broken libs and not break working.

I just charged it fuly yesterday with LOS14 so I think there is an issue with the charging on that rom or then a battery life issue. Anyway, when I plug it to check, it would charge it so it was bricked. No recovery mode or anything.

now its charging with MIUI, I will install LOS14.1 again today when its fully charged.

Maybe its because I enabled the softkey from the buttons menu on LOS14 ?

One thing I notice is that if I leave the capacity buttons enabled in this rom and put it into my bag, the buttons will be touched and waken up many times until at some point it doesn't stay awake anymore.

Turn off 'wake device' in button settings maybe? By default it's on.

I ran into that freeze problem too. Today when I picked up my pad, it felt warm on the back and no responding, also not charging or anything when plugged in.

Luckily it still had battery left, and long press reboot helped me out.

(I used kernel adiutor to set 'performance' for gaming and forgot to tweak it back afterwards, maybe that's the reason?)
