Hi, [MENTION=9009452]c0dyj4ck[/MENTION]

Take a look at post #2, section '9.3 Use of adblockers'.

In short:

- magisk settings, tap on 'systemless hosts', magisk installs/activates the new module.

- reboot

- make sure that the new module for systemless hosts support is active

- install/activate adaway
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] c0dyj4ck:
oh, haven't seen that changes, thank you very much.

it works!
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] c0dyj4ck:
sorry another problem,

today I wanted to change my sdcard, after changing, my card slot is not recognizing any card so also not my sim card! any idea? I booted to recovery and choosed to partition my sdcard but also there size = 0kb
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
Hi, sorry for the dumb question, but... are you sure that the cards are properly placed on the tray? (because you say that both of them aren't recognized suddenly..)

But no, I have no serious idea what causes that.

Some thoughts which may help debugging:

* remove SIM and SD.

* boot (no network connectivity obviously)

* shut down

* insert only SIM

* boot

* maybe activate aeroplane mode and deactivate it

see if SIM is recognized again

* shut down

* open tray and add the SD

* boot and check if SD gets recognized too

something else:

maybe the filesystem of the SD is broken?

* insert SD in a usb card reader/laptop and format SD card

* try again in phone

Do you have another SD card?

* try with another SD
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] c0dyj4ck:
I testet that all, including two differen sdcards, both work on linux and twrp also can'T recognize the sdcard if I try to format it, so I believe the slot is damaged why ever... I reseted my phone removed twrp and so on. I made a contact with bq and hope they call me tomorrow and then we will see. My phone is just one year old.

How to Relock ?

Hello,

I have a big issue with my X Pro and LOS : after firmware 2.7.0 update, my SIM card is no more detected... Tried many things (reinstall LOS, wipe, flash 2.7.1, etc..), still the same.

As I bought my X Pro 2 months ago, it is supposed to still be under waranty. So my plan is to contact BQ support.

But I guess I have to relock and reinstall stock first ? Any advice on this ?
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
Can't help you with LOS, but with restoring factory state:

* Backup your data, sms, calls and so on. We will delete everything later on

* Take the stock firmware from Downloads Aquaris X Pro

* connect phone via usb (adb debugging enabled in dev menu) and run the unmodified .bat from BQs stock FW. This way, everything gets overwitten (the whole system, userdata, ... and of course, boot and recovery)

* when phone is back to stock, follow '9.7 re-locking the bootloader' from Post #2 to revert the bootloader unlocking completely.

* voilà :cool:

Update about the issue : with the help of nuv, I tried to relock my phone following the link provided above. But we went into troubles again :

> After flashing full 2.7.1 firmware, the first relock command (fastboot flashing lock_critical) is supposed to restart the phone up to the welcome screen, but mine did not : I had message that system was corrupt, and only working boot option was fastboot (no recovery). It was a bit weird ! No way to boot, even recovery using "fastboot load recovery.img"...

> Finally, solution came flashing the full 2.5.1 firmware as a last try : it worked, I mean Android started, and I was able to continue the relock process until the end. :) Still weird !

> I tried inserting my SIM card, but still "No SIM card detected" message. So I guess it could be some HW problem now.

> The good news is that now I can call BQ support, my phone is back to default system, and bootloader locked.

I'm still at version 2.3.0, is it worth updating? Are there any news on android 9?
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
Hm... of course there are not that many changes (at least nothing "visible" like design and so on), but you get the android security updates. I think the camera got updated sometimes in between 2.3.0 and now, but I am not sure if this depends on the firmware updates at all or if you got them via play store updates anyway.

BQ updates the firmware so I update :cool:
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DragonautMk:
I don't find it very exciting to do the procedure over and over again, I'll wait in the hope of android 9 ...
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DragonautMk:
What magisk modules do you use?
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
At the moment, I've got the following modules installed:

Updating takes about 10-15 Minutes for me.

* Download firmware on PC

* Download Magisk on PC

* Extract firmware, check .bat for modifications, copy own .bat file inside folder.

* Connect phone via USB

* Run .bat

* Interrupt first boot and goto recovery

* Start adb sideload mode in twrp

* Run adb sideload on PC

* Boot to system

Done

LOS is back

News about my issue (latest I hope !) :

I raised a call to BQ, they called me back at the scheduled time (good support). They told me to use BQ Flashtool (on windows) and follow the procedure they will send me via email. (aka factory reset).

I just had to find a windows computer ! After taht : run BQ Flashtool, unlock phone, flash latest firmware (2.7.1), reboot and SIM card was detected.

Then I went into the process to reinstall LOS 15. I had one issue, with TWRP 3.3.1, the sideload installation failed with "adb: failed to read command". I had to reinstall TWRP 3.2.3 to solve the issue.

End of the story ! :D

Help need for unlock - fastboot not working anymore

Hi,

got a used X Pro and tried to unlock

If I switch to fastboot mode I got the information:

Build: 2.7.1_20190513_1448

Bootloader Status: unlockable

at my linux system I found the device with "fastboot devices": GF006979	fastboot

but if I use any other fastboot command, fastboot is hanging and nothing happens at my device :confused:

most command hanging with three points at linux shell (...)

trying "fastboot reboot" terminal shows "rebooting....", but nothing happens, also not after 10min or longer.

yes, I did this

but that's not the full story :crying:

my first try was same procedure, but fastboot was working. Command "fastboot oem device-info" got my informations, then I tried "fastboot flashing unlock", but prompt was hanging with 3 points, I got no confirmation dialog at my phone. I was waiting very long, but nothing happend, then I pulled usb cable.

Next I tried "fastboot oem unlock" and this worked (got confirmation prompt, confirmed, device unlocked, automatic reboot).

Because "oem unlock" is not enough, I did "fastboot oem lock" and confirmed again.

I unlocked developer options and enabled OEM unlock again.

but now device seems

no longer accessible with fastboot

! fastboot is hanging all the time.

the device can still be accessed with adb.

I am grateful for any hints and help to successfully perform "flashing unlock" and "flashing unlock_critical" on my device.
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
Hi [MENTION=3431480]frank@[/MENTION] ,

just a few thoughts (no time and no access to my PC at the moment):

- check adb/fastboot versions (depending on your distributon, the versions you get via package manager may be a bit outdated). I heard about problems/missing/wron commands in fastboot with old versions.

- do you have configured the udev rules properly?

I once did all the unlocking, flashing, relocking for a Aquaris M5 with an ubuntu variant and had weird behaviour.

the command output was empty or incomplete as normal user and I got more output with root user.

After configuring the access conditions for the usb device, everything was back to normal

- maybe the phone you got has been locked with the BQ flashtool (?)

Sometimes(/always?) the BQ flashtool locks the phone after flashing in another way than the commandline tool. After that, you'll need an individual json file with the unlock code (device specific) from BQ support.

Maybe the tool can give you an output about the state of the phone? If you have access to a pc with a windows installation, download the BQ flashtool and give it a try?

- ... to be continued ...
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frank@:
[MENTION=5115079]nuv[/MENTION], thanks for the quick reply.

I downloaded BQ flashtool 3.0.4 from BQ Support Page for Aquaris X

It includes a deb file for linux :)

But flashtool seems not able to find my phone, which is running fastboot mode :(

Manual lists all supported devices, but X Pro is not listet ?!?!

In fastboot mode panel bootloader status is: unlockable !

btw: I run all command from root terminal. fastboot did not run, if user have not root privileges.
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
Hm.. maybe that is the reason, not sure, but you should first fix that.

At least for the BQ tool, because when run with unprivileged user, it has no access to the usb device.

Which linux do you use? Do you have udev?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try this:

a) Get usb vendor and device id with command lsusb

with phone connected in fastboot mode.

You should get something like

# BQ Aquaris M5 Smartphone in fastboot mode
# Bus 001 Device 005: ID 18d1:d00d Google Inc.

b) Create a file in directory /etc/udev/rules.d/, for example /etc/udev/rules.d/62-android.rules with the following content:

# BQ Aquaris M5 Smartphone in fastboot mode
# Bus 001 Device 005: ID 18d1:d00d Google Inc.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}="d00d", GROUP="plugdev"

(Replace the Vendor ID and the Device ID accourding to the output of the lsusb command.)

c) disconnect phone

d) restart udev service

sudo services udev restart

e) reconnect phone

f) as normal user, you should get a valid serial now

$ fastboot devices
PD012345 fastboot

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

edit:

which version of fastboot do you have?

for ubuntu xenial I had version 5.1.x in package android-tools-fastboot which was too old.

in package fastboot I got v 6.0.x which was fine.

Updated latest working versions section in post #2.

New:

Magisk v19.3

TWRP 3.3.1-0

First updated Magisk to verify that it works.

Updated TWRP and re-installed Magisk via adb sideload.
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frank@:
I'm using Debian Stretch (v9) with fastboot version:7.0.0+r33-1

i can't believe it's a USB problem, because i can access the device via adb without any problems.

Also command "fastboot devices" shows the correct serial number of the device.

But it's getting crazier and crazier now.

After some distance I tried it again. I rebooted Android and switched to fastboot mode again.

I also rebooted my Linux PC, maybe some port or similar is blocked.

And surprise! Fastboot oem device-info suddenly returns an output !

Immediately tried a "fastboot flashing unlock" and it was successful.

But then came the disillusionment again. Immediately afterwards nothing went over fastboot again, as in the beginning.

Another reboot attempt of the Android and the Linux-PC didn't bring any further success this time :(

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

tried fastboot now with a different linux pc (also Debian 9)

and fastboot is hanging immediately without any output and reaction on android device :(
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
What about bringing it back to the locked state (where you can access it with fastboot commands) and then try with the Bq flashtool?

Either it can manage to unlock the bootloader, or it will ask you to supplier json unlock file
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frank@:
[MENTION=5115079]nuv[/MENTION], in a german forum I got the hint to try a newer version of fastboot (8.1) in Ubuntu 18

but this did not change anything

from BQ Support I got the json-file and I should use the BQ flashtool for a hard reset.

But I can not install this flashtool on any of my unix systems, because of missing dependecies I could not solve :(

ex. Ubuntu 18 did not support gksu anymore.

On my Debian9 System I got it running now, but same problem like fastboot, it hangs.....

any chance to fix this with adb, which always can connect to phone?
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frank@:
found latest adb and fastboot are inside of android sdk and can downloaded separatly.

Did try another test with this versions, but no change at all :(

fastboot still hanging.....
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frank@:
I have apparently found the cause of my problem, it seems to be the adb daemon.

More by chance I managed to provoke a restart of the adbd, then ONE goes fastboot command, then fastboot hangs again.

Now I have probably executed the unlock successfully (get text OKAY in the terminal), but I can't control it anymore or execute something else.

Adbd has been restarted internally according to the terminal return, because I executed adb in a higher version on the PC (newest from the Android SDK).

How can I force an adbd restart now? adb shell still works fine. But a stop adbd doesn't work, because it requires root rights, which I don't have yet :(

a Magisk installation over sideload fails because "Signature verification failed".

Probably because I couldn't install TWRP Recovery yet?

does anyone have a hint how I can force adbd to restart again? (adb shell works)
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
Hi Frank,

sorry sometimes it takes some time untill I can answer..

From terminal simply type 'adb kill-server'. When executing the next 'adb <something>', adb looks for the server, won't find it and will start a new one.

Check out 'adb help' for a command list.
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frank@:
Thanks, I wasn't sure which side the server was running on.

I found kill-server and start-server meanwhile.

But I will probably not be happy with the device :(

after I could persuade fastboot to "cooperate" again, I wanted to reinstall the firmware. Thought "safe is safe", somewhere there is a worm in it.

Unfortunately, I didn't look at the script 8953_fastboot_all_images.sh before, but just started it (stupid of me). The script is full of single fastboot calls and the output is a fiasco :(

see attached error log file

And now the device doesn't boot to Android anymore,

Fastboot-Screen broken, shows only a small icon in the middle of the screen, see attached image (red arrow and box are from me later)

Recovery still seems to work, but how do I get from there?

How do I get the device working again?
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nuv:
Hm, I don't really have a solid idea now.

- maybe reset to factory defaults in recovery if possible, then try again via fastboot. I heard from someone, else who got a graphically broken fastboot screen , but it still worked.

- maybe try a different usb cable? different USB port (usb2.0 / usb3.0)

- what is the status of the bootloader at the moment? unlocked but not unlocked_critical?

- if fastboot works, slowly proceed (maybe exeute the commands from the bat/sh manually)
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frank@:
[MENTION=5115079]nuv[/MENTION], I got a hint in a german forum (android-hilfe.de)

device: recovery-mode --> start adb sideload

computer: adb sideload anyuselessfile

computer: adb kill-server

device: fastboot mode

computer starting flash script

and the script was running :cool:

Android is running again, but now I have my old problem again, now fastboot is not running anymore :confused:

now it's hanging again....

and workaround above do not work again...

my bootloader is unlocked, I had unlock_critical done with success in the past, but I can not check with oem device-info because fastboot is not working for me at the moment :crying:

At the moment fastboot is running well on host

Will see how long....

[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frank@:
Hi,

my experiences and solutions

Hanging fastboot --> use latest fastboot (and adb) from Android SDK

Do

not

use fastboot from within virtual maschines, use is from host systems (physical computers)

System destroyed after mismatched flashing

System starts only with a blank screen and very small "Icon" (unreadable)

device: recovery-mode --> start adb sideload

computer: adb sideload 'anyuselessfile'

computer: adb kill-server

device: start fastboot mode (blank screen with unreadable icon)

computer: start flash script again

- flash firmware (phone in normal system when starting the script)

- be prepared for first boot after flashing: directly enter twrp recovery

- start adb sideload mode (advanced)

- re-install Magisk via adb sideload command

adb sideload Magisk-v19.3.zip

- start system from twrp. Be patient. The first boot after flashing takes a couple of minutes.

- done
