[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] fredsky2:
Hi, ive spent the last few days reading about every thread i could on this forum, sony crossdevice-dev and even xperia-z5/development. But still some questions arose, especially about MM 6.0 (i intend to stay on 6.0 for xposed).

1. Does AndroPlus Advanced Stock Kernel works with supports DRM patching with our real DRM keys, the same way that Genesis Kernel does (with widevine,FIDO_KEYS provisioned, etc)? That way, if i've just unlocked my phone, could i restore my own DRM keys directly from MM 6.0? How?

2. If i already have TWRP installed and have patched TA DRM while in Nougat with Genesis Kernel, and want to downgrade to MM 6.0.1, what do i need to do? Do i need to build a kernel without the drm-fix (step 5 from here https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-root-stock-firmware-modern-sony-t3558904)? Or do i need a 6.0.1 kernel with TWRP and drm-fix? Would i have to "flash_dk my_ownTA_keys.IMG DK.ftf" again?

3. is the xperia x compact compatible with magisk? What are the steps for me to install magisk, Systemless SuperSu (or magiskSU if anyone can recommend it) and the Magisk version of Xposed? (topjohnwu says he ported Xposed to magisk)

at the end of the day, all i want is TWRP, root, xposed and full DRM (without bricking my brand new daily driver device).

anyway, its really late and i am reeally tired so im sorry for typos and grammar miskes i probably did above (id love to have them pointed out to my by pm)

cheers
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Ikzy:
I'm on N so can't comment on the Mm questions. Haven't used other kernels then genesis. Genesis does not show fido provisioned on my N device. (you have to use a windows tool to extract your device key and flash it over the drm fix)

Magisk 11.6 is compatible with my device and passes SN, magisk 12 is stuck on boot animation. This could be nougat though.

In the cross device section there is a POC tool that would fake the TA as if original. I haven't tried it because im on a mac, which also explains why I didn't complete the drm file.

Hope this helps a bit :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] fredsky2:
thanks for the reply. I managed to get things working (i actually went to nougat to flash my TAs just to be sure) fine so far (twrp still says "failed to unmount \system (device or resource busy)" though).

Ive heard of that POC tool but i got kinda scared of trying it right now since its POC and im kinda new to this whole thing (new XC, etc.)

About magisk, im on 11.6 and rooted with magisksu (is supersu supose to be installed? it apeared on my xc after flashing magisk) and mine trips SN :( . Thanks for the info on magisk 12! i was pondering if i should update it as soon as an update pops, now ill think twice before updating it
[Asus ZenWatch 2] tcbj:
Since my Galaxy Gear wasn't getting AW2.0, I picked up a factory refurbished Zenwatch 2 off of eBay. Great deals, right now, btw.

I bought a second charger cord too for about 6 bucks. Then I got an idea.

Purchased a 250 piece bulk Lego set. Basically a scoop of Legos in an envelope.

Blessed with a variety of useful pieces, and a couple of beers, this is what I got.

The charger piece is about the same width as a 1 Lego dot. The cord goes down and out a hole in the back. I just take off my watch and drop it on.

Pretty damn proud of my self.:)

Enjoy the pics.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] internetpilot:
Excellent idea! I can't believe I didn't think of it -- my son has 1/4 of our finished basement dedicated to a giant Lego collection. I've defaulted to Lego as a solution for quite a few things.

I went with an Apple Watch stand and then bought the 3D printed adapter for the ZW2. It works very well and looks good, but it's just not as cool as a self-built Lego one! You should definitely be proud of yourself!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
hey all

ive read that many people had problems with their battery lives since the update to nougat. i installed one custom rom (RR) on nougat on my nexus 6p but then due to the inexistence of xposed framework decided to downgrade to marshmallow again (same rom RR). my problem is that ever since i did that, my battery life even on MM is severely bad (as soon as unplugged from charger, battery starts to drain, even after a clean flash, and moreover when phone reaches 15%-10%, phone turns off on its own with battery dead notification)

am just wondering if any nougat residue files still exist somewhere that i can just get rid off somehow though i wiped device fully(including internal)

and if not, what other options do i have? am suffering with the battery life, big time

thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
There is nothing left over after a wipe and flash

Make sure battery saver auto shutdown is off.

It may take a day or two for the battery to be normal after a flash.

Charge to 100% the let the battery drain o shut down.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
I've done this process 2months ago now. And still no adjustment
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
Just stay on nougat, just make sure you get a good rom like Chads uber and faster angler kernel.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeffBea:
Download a battery calibration app from the store. One that uses root. That fixed the early shutdown problem for me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
I tried. But i got used to xposed so it was the only reason i downgraded back to MM
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
I did that. Didn't help. This issue is driving me crazy. And when i check battery health using some battery app, it says good. Healthy battery. Am using elemental x kernel with ex kernel manager. Doesn't really change anything than when on stock kernel
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
What do you even get with xposed though? I know there's amplify but there's something called wakeblock on nougat which is very similar. It only works on stock rom or custom but you'd have to integrate the patch file with git into the custom ROM which includes making a build of Android through linux in terminal.

Your problem could be the phone. If you still have warranty I'd recommend trying to rma it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
I took it to huawei. Checked. Said nothing wrong with it or battery(no warranty)

And about xposed i use it for some app mods(instagram, messenger, youtube, gmail, etc)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
Huawei are bsing you and are obviously too greedy with money to give you a replacement. With the app mods you can basically get the same stuff anyway with modified apks. There's an easy way to get youtube adaway and background playback through modified apks and lucky Patcher and there's apps like instagram++ What's the messenger mod?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
Hides your online status and read message notification, and for the voip calls.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
None of that seems worth staying on marshmallow. That mod doesn't even seem useful and I'm sure there's a modified apk that can do that without xposed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
Come on. I was so close to just wiping all and going back to nougat. And now there's your voice in my head)))
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
Nougat is great there's modified apks for basically any xposed mod and xposed will be out eventually and I know it will probably be hard to leave it but I have forgotten about it. The custom ROM and kernel I use get me 6-7 hours sot too and because apps install with jit they install quicker. There are also other benefits like speed performance, layout like settings and custom ROMs aren't really supporting marshmallow anymore for nexus 6p and there's other things too like more mods like Google Assistant is as simple as flashing a zip or changing and adding to the build.prop etc etc
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
Here's the screenshots you asked for in pm
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockyAJ:
I've got 7.1.1

But battery still dies fast as soon as off the charge. Am using RR latest build and kernvatore kernel. Also at 20% dies suddenly. Did the battery calibration as well
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
I too love me some xposed modules! I've been on Nougat since the initial release so I've been missing xposed for quite sometime. I have faith that xposed will be released for N eventually...

As far as battery on nougat, I was able to make it a little better by turning off all my sync settings from google. I also installed better battery stats and came to find out that Facebook and its messenger app never like to go to sleep and drained the hell out of my battery. Greenify app fixed that issue for me.

Great one mate!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] venkat kamesh:
thank you

hope you loved it

i had created a release .jks key . I used that key for signer

the code it self had alias, passcode and all while you sign it

which is sha256withrsa encryption algorithm by default

Completely V2 signing Scheme

The process would be like Zipalign , Sign (v2 scheme with release key), Verify signature (with hash check)

which the code relied upon official implementation.

I had edited settings.apk manifest.xml also Framework-res.apk manifest.xml

Signed with my tool and replaced ( tested with xperia z5 running nougat) had no issues till now .. even after wipe data

Give a try and have fun

This will not sign with debug key

Regards

VK
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hamidreza2010:
[MENTION=4433143]venkat kamesh[/MENTION] bro first thanks a lot

does tool automatic zipalign after signed?

and second qestion , does sign and zipalign jar files?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] venkat kamesh:
please read this post bro :- https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71676209&postcount=9

and Only Apk are supported

jar signatures play nothing with signature ( jar files are sub classes for Framework-res.apk )

any sign problem with framework-res will cause problem with other jar ... so my tool not support jar files

hope you got what i said bro
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] renzetti.s:
Follow instruction but on my Pc seems doesn't work.

The white window open after sign request but immediately disappear and nothing changes in apk.

Don't know wich details you need more.

I'm on win 7 64b
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] venkat kamesh:
until tool is edited this will work good bro

today i had updated the tool

Update to V3

updated signer algorithm

Added choosable option to get logcat ( single /batch ) on same path of application

so give a try and provide me logcat bro

Good luck
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] renzetti.s:
Yes, I will and report... Mmm how remove last version?

if help push thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Carpe-Dimi:
I am experiencing the same issue.

Using v3 and choosing yes to logcat produces an empty *.apk_logcat.txt file

Will report when i tried some more
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] venkat kamesh:
Make sure of few things

Check your os should be running in 'c' drive

You should be having Java jdk installed - 8 and above versions

Make sure Java path is defined in environment variables

Then give a try bro

I am sure that, you should be missing 2 and 3rd point

Give a check and try

Good luck
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marília de Oliveira:
THANK YOU SO MUCH :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Carpe-Dimi:
Very good points, but still no luck :(

I have also tried deleting the path variable to my adb (androidsdk platform tools) but that doesn't change anything either.

I haven't properly rebooted my pc yet, so will try that sometime soon too and then I'll report back again.

I still very much appreciate your effort :D

Hey all,

I have a HTC Tytn II on the orange network. For some reason orange replaced the HTC home with their own ****ty application. It's awful. I want to reinstall the HTC Home, and I've read enough to know that this entails flashing the ROM.

I've read the newbie guide, and I'm fairly sure that I can unlock the CID easily enough. Correct me if I'm wrong; but after this stage; all I need do is install the ROM I want. If the radio code doesnt work then I may need to flash a new radio code; but it will probably be ok.

My problem is that I don't know which ROM I should flash...

If someone could advise me, and even make sure that I take the right steps; it'd be greatly appreciated... I apologise for asking the same questions again; but as a n00b i could very easily destroy my phone =0(

Anyone fancy helping out?!

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Joyo-rocker:
As the title says.

I am looking for a custom kernel which forces encryption at boot.

I want it for the password on boot feature as for me security is a priority.

I aint an expert at android so do be gentle on me XD.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
Why force? You can use encryption even if it's not forced. Pretty much all custom kernels support it, but don't force it as people tend to not like forced stuff.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Joyo-rocker:
Okay suppose if I flash a kernel like ElementalX which disables encryption can i still get the password on boot.

I tried it but i dont get the password on boot screen on it.

Tell me about a kernel that would have a password on boot screen.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
That's an option that needs to get enabled. When you set up lockscreen pin/pass/fingerprint it asks you if you want to also set this for boot. Select that and you're good to go.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] morphvale:
I don't think you get the question if the data partition is not encrypted. However, one can enable encryption from the Security menu, even if the kernel does not enforce it. That will return the phone to an encrypted state, with whatever security option was chosen.

**edit 4/2/17: Marked as solved, successfully de-bricked and upgraded to B203, but still do not have working SIM card / 4G data. **

WIll post an update with complete de-bricking procedure summary from my experience to original post soon, for others enountering similar problem from beginners perspective.

Continued on thread for [ROM] B203 for GEM-702L to find solution for SIM card issue

======================= Original post: ===============================

Hi guys!

I completely soft-bricked my Huawei Mediapad X2 702L. I tried flashing with the "B112 Rooted with GAPPS" ROM, , but it's booting into a boot loop. I also (somehow) wiped my stock backup in the process!

How can you reflash with completely stock ROM?

All the "reflash from stock" instructions I've seen say I need a 'boot.img', 'cache.img', 'recovery.img' and 'cust.img'. I have a stock ROM, but it doesn't include anything but an 'UPDATE.APP' file. Where do I get any of those?

- I have TWRP 5.1 installed

- I have downloadedthe stock ROM GEM-703L -B112 (contains /dload/UPDATE.APP)

:confused: :(
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
So factory reset in TWRP.

Flash the recovery.img for 112

Start the external sd dload Downgrade script via 3 button press without USB connection. (Search forum for link). If successful then exchange content on external sd dload with the files for b203.

Start dload via 3 buttons.

Install TWRP

Install KangVIP 212

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
First of all indeed, try "factory reset in TWRP" as audio ralf suggest, that could be enough ?

Then to get all .img files from any update .app, use on your PC the Huawei update extractor software: Here are the steps:

1) download the desired rom

2) download & install huawei update extractor: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

3) extract .img files from the downloaded rom.

4) install ADB on your computer

5) Fastboot flash the .img files on your phone

[Huawei MediaPad X2] emfields:
Thanks Djiban and audio_ralf!

Progress:

I've got a successfully booting version of a not so great 703L, but that's progress. (I can boot to an OS now, so it's technically unbricked, thanks to you guys.)

Steps unbrick from scratch, based on my current understanding

To reflash from a stock image, I have to:

1. Wipe using TWRP (download + install adb, flashboot, and flash TWRP if I haven't already)

2. Download a base stock ROM (which will be an UPDATE.APP file)

3. Download extractor tool

4. Extract the IMG files from the Stock ROM

5.. Using flashboot tool, flash images (boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img, and cust.img)

About upgrades:

I also understand that there seems to be a specific upgrade route, from version to version, so I can't just install a higher level ROM from scratch, but need to install a specific "base" version first.

Like, I can't jump from an android 5.0 stock to an android 6.0-based ROM. Is that correct? :confused:

I'm currently using an almost unusable version of 703L, which says that it's on android 4.x! I don't know if that's correct.

If I wanted, for example install the KangVIP212, what base version ROM do I need to start from?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] emfields:
audioralf are you aware whether this path will work on a 702L model?

(*I'm able to install the 703L B009 stock ROM, but I can't get it to upgrade to 112. Probably doing something wrong.)
