I saw someone mention that only one of the cards may be used in 4G and the other must be in 2G/3G. This is the way I use mine, with the primary SIM slot as the 4G one. I do have some UI issues where texts and calls are sometimes reported as being from the incorrect card, but I don't have connectivity issues.

It's been a month so you've probably figured it out by now, but you need to use QFIL to start over at 31.02 as described in the first post. That is a full system image that overwrites EVERYTHING.

How did you remove all the google stuff? That's my project for today I switched launchers and disabled some of it, but I haven't been able to fully remove all of it without getting into a bootloop.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrThumb:
ill give you a list of the things i disabled using software called titanium backup.

Android Pay

app toolbox

basic daydreams

bookmark provider

catphones

chrome

drive

gmail

google (then languages keyboards i dont use)

google contacts sync

google one time init

google partner setup

google input (of languages i dont use)

google partner setup

google play movies

google play music

google play services

google play store

google services framework

google text to speech engine

hangouts

home screen tips

keep

location alert

mobile assistant

photos

trusted face

youtube ( i use newpipe instead)

basically google harvests all the info it can abotu everything you do. to make it seem ok, they even offer you to download "your" data (like form youtube) as if that makes it ok. and even when you turn it off it probably still is being recorded.

use the app "Fdroid" to get replacement apps. for photos etc. its so nice being in charge of your device.

So I am on 35 but cannot seem to get TRWP to load. I keeep getting stock recovery. Any advise on what I am doing wrong?

I am following the steps, about ten times now.

Thank in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tusch00101:
While (unsuccessfully) trying to update my phone to Version 38 and rooting it, I got hold of several OTA-Updates.

I thought I would post my collection here.

Be aware:

So far I couldn't root the phone, neither in Version 35 nor in Version 38. All I could do was apply update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch in read-only mode to make a backup, but after rebooting the recovery was back to stock. As soon as I installed SuperSu-zip I was asked for a password after rebooting. Only Version 33 was "rootable". I don't know much about the operation system, so I don't know if this has something to do with the update-Files or with my phone.

I will edit this post, if I'm successful.. Successful - Method in Post below.

If you just want to go back to stock 38 from firmare 31 + update 31->32 + update 32->38 here are my collected files:

update 31 -> 32: 85.636 kB - MD5: 42324b25babaa10ef93d8e2cec5aa163

update 32 -> 38: 143.639 kB - MD5: 68d0b71bc95c3180d9cec176f8d096d5

Edit: finally managed root! Although I used magisk v 15.3 before, obviously I forgot to wipe or anything. Anyway:

My success story: Post #135 by CDMCCDMC (wiping cache / data numerous times) plus Magisk v. 15.3 (https://www.teamandroid.com/2018/02/17/download-magisk-153-zip-package/) (Post #136 by bhiga)

------------------ obsolete --------------

A question to all:

Has anyone of you successfully rooted OLDER Cat S60 phones with Version 38 by GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCEDURE from QFIL Firmware 31, Updates to 32, ..., 38 by adb sideload, booting the system 38 with Stock, qfil twrp-recovery-update AND then installing SuperSU or magisk in Recovery (as described in Post #135 by CDMCCDMC).

For the last several days I'm trying to upgrade my Cat S60. I remember last year that I could update to Version 33, but got struck at Version 35 at the password step and kept the phone on version 33.

With a new attempt of updating / rooting I get stuck at the final step of version 38. I was reading through the posts and trying all the suggestions (superSu-Installer, magisk 15.3, using root-only TWRP and restoring Partitions, ...). I can install TWRP in read only mode, which is working for a backup but is overwritten with the new start. If I do anything with writing to the system (installing the rooting apps) the next boot ends up with the system asking me for a password because of changes to the operating system. Then even restoring the backup won't work and I get stuck in a bootloop. Wiping cache / data doesn't help.

Reading all the posts I get the impression that all those successful root attempts could have started with phones that were previously already on Version 35 + before they started. Even in the old post from 2 years ago there were reports of not being successful to go up to versioin 35. My phone is one of the first Cat S60 with originally Version 27 (29?). Now on Stock 38. So I'm asking. I have spent too many hours rebooting / going back to firmware 31 / updates. I would like to know if it is worth to spend more time.

Or maybe someone has an idea if deleting some files in /recovery or /cache would help?

Anyone any idea how to solve the password problem?

Thx in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tusch00101:
If you haven't already figured out:

After applying update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch with qfil you have to go DIRECTLY into Recovery.

I find it the easiest way just to hold the power button for 15 s after qfil is done to turn the phone off and then hold simutanously Power + Vol+ to boot directly into recovery. Otherwise the OS detects the changes and overwrites TWRP Recovery.

To make the changes to recovery permanent you need the rooting installation-zip. Install them immediately with TWRP after you have successfully booted to TWRP. Don't boot the system without having them installed. For me superSu-installer didn't work, I was only successful with magisk version 15.3 as described in Post #136.

P.S. Before installing update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch with qfil maybe you want to update to 038 (Stock recovery and adb sideload)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vualla:
Attached is a script that will fully delete system bloat, the list is not as complete as ones posted before but you can easily modify the script (open .zip, edit delete.sh in system folder), then flash it with twrp. Backups before are advised.

Success: CAT S60 rooted with Magisk and SafetyNet still compliant

Hi guys,

after a long time off fiddling around I finally got root working without losing SafetyNet compliance. My firmware version is LTE_D0201121.0_S60_0.038.00. Due to failing TWRP restore (would not boot up after...) I had to get there again by flashing the stock rom and applying all updates as described.

Finally, on 038 again, I flashed TWRP, set the Magisk options KEEPVERITY=TRUE and KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=TRUE and installed Magisk 18.1 from external SD. Phone booted flawlessly (did not wipe anything), Root is working while SafetyNet status still shows ok. (Had rooted before with SuperSu and somehow lost SafetyNet compliance). Did a TWRP backup (boot and data) now, but still not sure if this will be usable. At the moment, I don't want to test this ...

Many thanks for all the great work, documentation and providing the software and details in this forum .

Hi Guys,

Does anyone would like to play with my CAT s60 remotly for some beer? I gave it to warranty service and after it came back it does not update and sometimes hang so i need to press reset button on the back. It wasnt much disturbing cuz its like once a week but after i bought Gear S3 and i cannot install gear app from google play because of old software i would like to repair it. Phone is not on warranty anymore and I think flashing software will do the job.

I may do it myself but maybe someone has experience and will do it better while drinking beer :)

I get a "Phone Unknown" (does show the correct COM port and I have used QFIL to root the phone as in the first page of this thread).

Reason for asking is that I have a US model and LTE is not working in Europe where I live...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] halcyon1234:
So I might have kinda sorta absolutely for sure borked up my S60 to the point where starting from new firmware is the way to go.

I'm on 33, I think. I see we're up to 38. I'm trying to decide if it's worth staying with 33, or upgrading to 35 or 38. I couldn't find any release notes on CAT's site for the firmware updates. Does anyone have release notes / changelogs? I always like to read those before upgrading.

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vualla:
I can't find any changelogs from CAT but the included android security patches should be reason alone to consider updating. With v38 you at least bring the security patch to March 2018 status.

I've done this several times and still my Wifi doesn't work. LTE doesn't work either. Is this part of the same Problem? At the last time i load the stuck and then go to .32 .33 .35, i tryed after every update my WLAN and it doesn't work in every version. So i think do this again and again isn't an solution. Does someone else have another solution for this problem, as to do this again and again?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HaoZeke:
Just to chime in here. I managed to get my new S60 to work perfectly with root and minimum hassle. Thanks to [MENTION=4750423]adtbm[/MENTION] and the other posters!

1. Get the bundle in the OP

2. Allow the device to update to 038 on its own

3. Enable developer settings (Settings->Advanced->7 taps on the build number)

4. Enable OEM unlock from the developer settings

5. Use QPST to install TWRP (including the poweroff instructions, hold power vol up and press the reset button under the flap)

6. Use TWRP to install Magisk (I used v20.00)

Profit.

4. Install Magisk

[Miscellaneous Android Development] huhunakuama:
Hi, peeps :) Me and a couple of other guys on this forum have the S61 and there seems to be no progress made on rooting it. The section has only 2 threads about the new S61 model for over a year now and over there are just some guys scratching their heads looking for a solution but nobody has even a slight idea what they can do (me included). Since some of you made rooting the S60 possible and likewise- the hardware seems to be not so different between those two models I had to ask if someone could be in any help making this possible. Thank you and hope we make some progress soon :) P.S. Just tell me anything that I can do to help this happen and if it's in my power- I'll do it, I don't want to just stand by reaping benefits to other people's hard work.

battery monitor

Hello! Im just fighting to get data back from s60 after it get frustrating kind of bootloop that happend to me after replacing the battery, something is wrong now and batery temp sensor is recognised as to hot even if frozen and sadly i was stupid enough to not make data from internal storage for half a year :mad:

Enough crying. now my idea is to make damage to batery monitoring process (cause this naughty boy is turning phone off just when it loads the system) of my android its v38 as i investigated if it matters so here is my question to you who seems to know the system somehow since i can not even check this

1. what is the name of process responsible for monitoring battery temp and turning off phone when its to hot in s60?

2. do someone have idea on how to damage the pest ? (later i plan to factory reset and then do maybe some customisations of system cause phone is anyways in it will die or no cat.tegory)

My idea is to take the apk that is problem maker, try to corupt it so it do not run at all and sideload it :v

Only trouble i have very litle idea of what it should be the actual action an on what

Happy new year.

P.S. hope its right place if no, pls move me somewhere (im just counting that in this thread is someone with deeper knowledge of this exact system)

What should I do? Does anyone happen to have a TWRP backup of clean stock or something? Or is there a .zip version of stock lying around somewhere that can be flashed through TWRP?

Install the Flashfire app from play store. It allows you to flash the stock rom without a pc.

Bought the G6 couple of months ago because it was well under £500, and it's the best money I've spent on a phone recently i have no complaints at all with the G6.

Next year as a rule i won't go over £500 on a smartphone so will either wait for the G7 to drop in price as it will or pick up either a cheap V30 or Pixel XL2 once the Pixel 3 out.

Nexus 6p. I find the G6 is a superior phone in every way, especially in terms of screen to body ratio. I never found the 6p large but the G6 made it feel enormous. For the display even though AMOLED contrast is nice, the G6 has far superior whites, the 6p has a strong yellow tint. Battery life has been way better on the G6 too, the 6p had serious overheating issues that would drain the battery (not too surprising considering SD 810).

Galaxy S5 to LG G6

After 3 years went to LGG6 about 2 months ago. So far, love the change. S5 was good, never had any problems but after 3 yrs, was getting a little-worried device/software issues would start popping up. OEM batteries were getting hard to find without paying an arm and a leg for them. Did a lot of research b4 making the change as prices for new phones are outrageous. Bought two new LGG6s on Swappa.com for $330 each. For me, a good choice.
