[Hardware Hacking General] hyerisf:
I'm working on trying to "root" a Huawei e5573 device.

The device is your typical Android LTE dongle, running a multicore hisilicon soc, and offers both a JTAG and a UART port - but when you connect to UART, you'll get a login prompt (via a userland process, i can't remember the name exactly).

From what I know, it should be possible to enter an incorrect password, connect via JTAG to the application processor (think this is an Cortex-A9 core in the SOC) and search the lower 3GB of memory to find the userland authentication executable and patch it to bypass authentication (and effectively root the device).

However, I'm not getting the results I'm expecting out of this process. Using a J-Link adapter (i.e. taking the MMU into account, according to the Segger forums), everything (as determined by trying to display 16 bytes of memory at increments of 0x10000000 from 0) below 0xc0000000 seems to be unmapped, and what appears to be the Android kernel lives here. If I ignore the MMU, I can see some fun bits and pieces - baseband, memory from the Cortex-M3 core, etc - but still no userland authentication service.

Is there a better way to do this, than brute force memory searching?

Should I even be ignoring the MMU?

Has anyone else had any luck with this device?

I'm aware of the other technique for jailbreaking this device via grounding the boot pin and providing a new bootloader, but this is a learning exercise :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shivangshukla:
I am confused between google pixel 2 xl and oneplus 5t, which phone should I buy?

The purpose of buying any one of these phones is to install different custom roms.

so what you people suggest which phone will have more custom roms?

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] varun.gid:
should surely be 5T. but launching with Android N just sucks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mgear356:
I came from a op5.. Although both are during 835, the pixel is so much smoother and also the touch latency is much lower..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nimrodiny:
Facing the same dilemma here.

On one hand, the Pixel 2 XL is a clear winner for me since great (if not the best) camera is very important to me. However, the screen issues (talking about REAL issues like flashing, green lines, etc) are putting me off since I don't live in a country where Google has an official store, meaning - every return/warranty claim is going to be a nightmare.

On the other hand, the Oneplus 5T seems like an almost perfect device. Great build, fast and fluid UX, low price tag, but there are 2 things holding me back - the camera isn't as good as the Pixel's. Not even close. 2nd thing is security - no timely updates and the whole spying/data mining fiasco lately just shows how security is NOT taken seriously by Oneplus, unfortunately.

So I'm basically torn :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] x017in:
You can buy 2 op5t for the price of one pixel. So you get good value for money. Pixel 2 xl doesn't seem good value.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 2x4:
Pixel 2 XL is more expensive, but better in every way (except charging speed)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
If a person is buying a phone just to root and ROM..... no, the One+ is a better buy so long as you're not worried about the camera. For the better camera and a fully device supported over the life of the phone the Pixel is the better buy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrMeeseeks:
If your just talking about custom roms go with the 5t.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigblueshock:
Is the Oneplus usable on all major carriers now? I always wanted one, but I'm on Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
If you care about having Google's android and functions and 3 years of update (3 versions after Oreo) go for the Pixel 2 XL.

But of course it's more expensive

Sent from my Pixel 2
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YelloLabs:
If you don't care much of camera quality go for the 5T. It's cheaper and you can buy other toys with your money.

I received official update for ALP-L29 C185 to version 119.

now everything is smooth and stable, no crash or hang anymore.

Thanks huawei for the update
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] k4fari:
any other improvements you noticed regarding battery and camera etc? btw i have the exact same region fone with alp-l29 8.0.0.115(185) in Pakistan but no update notification for me :(
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
Maybe he downloaded it manually through Firmware Finder:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...did=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
I

am trying to get it

through apps Firmware Finder and DNS changer. See screenshots.

Steps how to do it:

1. Install Firmware Finder;

2. Install DNS Changer

3. Open Firmware Finder;

4. Find your firmware (matching model No and C###) and click on it;

5. Click "Get update through DNS (beta)";

6. In DNS Changer change DNS to 81.177.139.39

7. Go to System update and check for updates.

8. After all of this you will get the ability to download the latest update, but server connection fails when I click install (with set DNS address you get the message "Server temporarily unavailable) or authorization fails if disable DNS changer..

What's your location ? I wonder if I can force that update through VPN/IP change.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] k4fari:
The question is, have you been able to install this update?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You can only install with FF if the update is approved by Huawei for your device (in which case you should be getting an OTA update anyway).

If it's not approved by Huawei for install, you can use FunkyHuawei.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] snachez:
So does anyone else here have a problem seeing this spam for expensive paid services on XDA?

Remember when this site used to be about sharing the love with fellow members, rather than making cash by simply redistributing firmware.

I don't imagine Huawei would like this guy selling their software, even if XDA is taking a cut of his profits.

:confused:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] k4fari:
I respect and appreciate the work of duraaraa, but every time he ask for his paid services, its make me crazy, this forum is made for solutions of the problems and now we have been asked to pay for an update.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] t3ramos:
this..

just got my mate 10 pro, first time huawei user and did not expect to pay for a firmwareupgrade.

i get that he discovered a method to authenticate the firmware so the device recognize it and thats a nice accomplishment but why charge other users for that?? he just injects some code through his dns server.. in my opinion every thread should be deleted that covers funkyhuawei and the user should be permabanned..
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] k4fari:
Sometimes i get in doubt about him that he is from huawei and earning money by providing services as funkyHuawei. Who knows?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If the infrastructure to install firmwares were as simple as you describe, it would be available for free. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as simple as you describe.

FH incurs costs to provide things that are charged for, including the authentication of installations, the unbricking, the rebranding, and so on. On top of that, maintenance, R&D, support, and so on is a full-time job. That's why users need to be charged. Things like rooting the Mate 10 which don't cost FH are provided for free, even though R&D was necessary to accomplish it. Same goes for the TWRP versions we've released. It's nowhere near as profitable or as evil as you presume it is. The service could not possibly run if the users were not charged.

Regardless, there's absolutely no reason you'd need to use the service to install updates. You can wait for them to be released by Huawei and get them for free. It's simply an alternative for people who want to do things they otherwise can't, and it's not FH's fault that Huawei created this problem in the first place.

Maybe it's time to get this post back on topic, no?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] scedric57:
hello you can maybe offer a 1 credit to xda people for one free flash ;) that will be christmas gift
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
Xda developers are getting their $$$ through donations and it’s understandable that most users will not like what you do ;)

I am all up for donating my heard earned money to devs [MENTION=6962027]XDA.[/MENTION] I ain't no Warran Buffet (net worth 77.7 billion USD), but I donate about 25-50 EUR to each and every xda developer whose services/ROM I use and since I am switching between phones like every 5/6 months I donate quite a lot of money, but as soon as I saw your FunkyHuawei support thread/ https://funkyhuawei.club/ I was like naaaaaah I ain’t using it, especially because the way the credit system is built – before I bought ALP-L29 which I don’t need to rebrand to, I was thinking of buying ALP-L00 instead and rebrand it through https://funkyhuawei.club/ which would cost me 2 credits, but in that case I would have 3 credits left, since the minimum you can buy is 5 credits for 31 USD. That already looks like a rip-off.

I wonder whether if you would get more $$$ through donations than you do through your FunkyHuawei credit system..

Don’t get me wrong. It’s cool that such service exist (I’ve had one xiaomi phone for quite some time without the option to rebrand it/re-flash it and remove all Chinses stuff out of it, so I have been "there"), but you should either limit mentioning your paid service in every other topic and stick to one thread (FunkyHuawei support thread) or change your pricing policy enabling the option to buy a single 1 credit/single service (rebranding, for example), otherwise hate-posts will go on ;)

Take care ;)

i receive official update through ota. i am located in KSA
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] snachez:
So check out the longstanding Forum rules :

7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.

If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.

11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.

Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.

Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.

Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.

13. Advertising and Income Generation

Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay-per-click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use XDA-Developers as a means to make money.

And most importantly, The one that embodies the mindset of this forum to me : the sharing of tools and knowledge and not charging other members for services ..

12. Sharing

XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members and developers freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the developer community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.

I think it's just disappointing that you've seen XDA as a way to make more money by simply charging high rates for redistributing Huaweis proprietary firmware, rather than embrace the spirit of all the other Devs who put in a lot of hard work and time to share their creations freely with other passionate members here.

It's like the exact opposite ethos of ROM development and the intention of these forums.

Sorry you view this as off topic.

As in, it seems to reset back to default settings every so often.

I don't know what is causing this, and since its a system app I can't just delete and reinstall in. I'm on the latest firmware, unfortunately, and I do have google play installed. Thats it.

What would be causing this? Its the only app that has issues

I see the same thing, no cleaner app installed. But I do keep getting messages about newly-installed OS updates, and then the Kindle app is reset.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavdEBSmith:
Fixed this by going into Apps menu > All > Amazon Kindle and clicking on Uninstall Updates, then into Play Store > My Apps and Games > Amazon Kindle > three-dot menu > uncheck Auto-update.

Reportedly the version coming from the Play store now doesn't play well with the Fire.

Interesting that on other Android devices the Play store version works fine.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
FireOS v5 is a unique beast...a highly modified Android 5.1 variant. There are a number of apps that don't play nice with FireOS; others require a different build including several Amazon apps. Seems the Kindle app may be one of them.
[General Questions and Answers] Tetradim:
Hello XDA community. I am a long time fan of the work that you all do.

First time posting, haven't had too much of a problem with programs that I couldn't figure out. I finally found something that I am stumped with. Probably something small I'm overlooking.

I have a KLWP that I like, Hexa Tech, but I want to modify the YouTube button on the music home screen to open only a link to YouTube, specifically the subscription side. However it will only open up the YouTube app. It's locked so I can't edit anything in the shortcut menu.

Am I screwed or is it something simple? Keep in mind it is 3am here. >_>
[General Questions and Answers] Tetradim:
EDIT: I fixed it. Amazing what sleep can do for you. I had YouTube set as primary entertainment launch. Disabling the app now allows me to go to a set Url instead of opening the app.
