I learned my lesson the hard way, but I got the modified ROM fully functional on my phone, just had to edit the updater-script some.....I learned a lot from my snafu
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
What did you have to edit in the script?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mattm72980:
every line in the script that referred to where /system was located on my phone was missing a step in the directory tree....so it failed to format or mount because the directory didn't exist.

originally the path read

/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system

I replaced every instance of it with what I found exploring the file structure in TWRP (thanks for the TWRP BTW)

/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/[B]11230000.msdc0[/B]/by-name/system

I don't know if that extra step exists for all the blu tank xtreme pros, but you could probably add an if statement to revert to if the original doesnt work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
That is an issue with the different versions of TWRP.

A config script that checks the path and saves to temp variable would get around that.

I usually use the config made by SuperR kitchen for that, but obviously did not for that stock rom.

If there is more interest in the debloated stock , I maybe should "update" the updater.

Did you also change the line in updater at the boot.img line?

You can tell if the new boot.img was installed by checking kernel build date. New kernel date should be "Nov 14 20:28:25 CST 2017"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mattm72980:
Yeah, I did. NOV 14
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
My tank received an update this week. An unexpected sight when I woke in the morning. Phone screen was on and in twrp menu. And every attempt to reboot to system just returned to recovery instead.

formatted cache

deleted the update.zip

Then I remembered I had [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION] 's recovery from Life Max, and it has built in script file for recovering from this recovery-loop. ( /sbin/para.sh )

This got phone back working again, but I still kept getting "failed to install update" message. So in the end I reverted to full stock and took the update properly.

Not sure what is different , other than security patches.

Yeah security patch is now Feb 5, 2018. But the update came in late March so is already almost 2 months old.

now version is

V7.0.04.02_GENERIC 05-03-2018
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noneya_buziness:
Do you happen to have that sbin file where you can post it? Mine took a crap after the same update, just swapped back over to my previous phone until now. Blu hasn't been very helpful, came back with a canned response when I asked for the OTA to try to install it again. It boots to the recovery but that's it, don't have the stock recovery anymore, deleted after the TWRP zip did work, same with the stock rom after installing your debloated rom. So if you have the regular stock rom that would be greatly appreciated as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
here is first full stock rom .

Thank you sir!

Hi mrmazak. I own a new Tank Xtreme Pro, and can join in your efforts to hack this phone. What is the current status? I have general hacking/coding skills, have rooted a few devices over the years with xda provided tools, and can put in a few hours into this project this week. My goal is a reliable, bloat-free, spy-free device. I have an upcoming outdoors adventure, and want to be confident that I can depend on this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
What/where is /sbin/para.sh? I have the same issue, and need this fix. Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
Either open terminal from inside twrp, and type "/sbin/para.sh"

Or connect USB and do open cmd from Windows and type "asb shell /sbin/para.sh"

It will run the shell script , which zeros out the para partition. An action that is normally done in stock recovery after an update, or factory reset.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
Using TWRP compiled by Vampirefo 3.2.1-0, I do not see that shell script. So, guessing I should install one of the TWRP's you compiled?

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Just upgraded to TWRPv3.2.2.0-0 posted July 31, and para.sh is still not found. At the terminal, I typed "ls /sbin/*.sh", and the only script listed is /sbin/permissive.sh. So, where can I get a copy of that script??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
The one I ported

I did not compile, just to be clear. I'm not taking credit for others work.

This one.

https://xdaforums.com/android/development/twrp-ported-blutank-xtreme-pro-t3708938
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
Understood. Would you please copy that script, para.sh, to an external disk and then upload it here for me? I'm stuck to booting into vampirefo's TWRP. If I install your TWRP I have a boot loop. In fact, if I install any other TWRP I have a boot loop. Fortunately, I can use SP Flash Tool to flash vampirefo's TWRP, but so at that point the para.sh script may be helpful.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
I am without PC for few days, so cannot do it now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
ok. For now, if you can point me to source files/repositories, say at github, I might be able to locate it. Else I'll just have to wait...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
ok. Found it and works as advertised!

here is the script:

#!/sbin/sh

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/para count=1 bs=32

and on my BLU, a small change was needed:

#!/sbin/sh

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/para count=1 bs=32
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
Do you expect TWRP future releases to fix this issue? I'm stuck at pre-update, because I had failed to backup recovery before installing TWRP. The stock-recovery posted on the TWRP thread does not work for me; guess my phone came from the factory with a newer ROM revision. I've disable updates for now, and hope someone can point me to a solution.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
I don't expect much in terms of more updates, unless someone else is working on it. I have moved to different phone, and I think vampirefo has too. Not sure about lopestom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
I'm willing to hack, with guidance from you. vampirefo, and/or lopestom. para.sh enables system boot, but the update is invalid so looking for an alternative.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
In TWRP, I tried to "Install" /cache/update_s.zip, which does seem to install:

console output is like this...

Source: BLU/Tank_Xtreme_Pro... .../:user/release-keys

Target: BLU/Tank_Xtreme_Pro... .../:user/release-keys

Verifying current system...

E3001: Package expects build fingerprint of ... .../:user/release-keys

...this device has ... ...:/userdebug/release-keys

So, apparently needs the :user keys, not the :userdebug keys. Are this device's keys generated during TWRP's installation, or perhaps SuperSU installation? Can't the keys be generated as :user instead of :userdebug? advice???

Also, found this possible fix...

https://android.stackexchange.com/q...te-error-package-expects-build-fingerprint-of

I'm new to hacking Android, and appreciate your guidance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
No, don't need special key

But maybe just edit the updater-script inside the update.zip. to skip the check.

But generally stock ota not gonna work to install in twrp without some changes.

Be cautious flashing ota in twrp.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gdbaldw:
Success! Using the para.sh dd command kept me in the game, but editing updater-script kept failing. So, I reinstalled the stock ROM you had graciously posted, which booted but had a black screen. So here is the trick. Used SP Flashtool to download my working lk.img and root.img which gave me a working phone with a mostly stock ROM. From that, set up my WiFi connection, but OTA update failed. So, used SP Flashtool to download stock lk.img and boot.img from your stock ROM, which booted with black screen and now could take the OTA updates overnight. Next day, still booted into black screen, but using SP Flashtool downloaded my working lk.img and the phone booted with working screen, and had updated to the latest OTA, V7.0.04.04_GENERIC. Now, I have a pristine phone (except lk.img, which differs by about 1K after the update, using "bsdiff"), and this time will backup AND put the ROM in a safe place where I won't accidentally delete it.

lk.img, which I had read elsewhere means "Little Kernel", is a Universal Boot Loader, so as long as it loads the boot.img correctly, which it does, all should be good. I'll keep the updated blackscreen lk.img in case its needed for the next OTA update.

I've documented this all here in case others may have the same issue, and are looking for a solution.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrmazak:
I have found some posts on google+ from [MENTION=4939713]lopestom[/MENTION] , he has made a generic repair firmware with V7.0.04.04 this will be best option at this point.

Everytime you can flash stock files: boot.img, recovery.img, system.img for not have the ROOT. In addition, you should lock the bootloader again: fastboot relock bootloader

With that your phone can flash OTA files and update. Read the TWRP thread to BLU Xtreme Pro for more informations of versions from stock ROM.

Hey all, pretty diehard Nexus fan here, but in the Pixel age I've fallen out of love. I've had a Nexus 5 and recently replaced a battery in a 6P, deeply loved both of them. Here I stand in need of a new device, and I can't think of a reason not to to with T-Mobiles BOGO Note 8 offer.

I love big phones and I love stock Android, but even a first Gen Pixel XL will cost me more than the 410$ cost of a half off Note 8. Full body screen, BT 5.0, water resistance, these all feel like worthy trade offs to go into the hell that is Touch-Wiz. I could BOGO a V30 and have a more closer to pure Android experience, but I feel like the V30 is all around a much more lackluster device from the reviews I've seen.

Anyone have a point I might have not of considered?

So, I'm pretty new to rooting, and I've had a blast toying around with this phone (and wiping and restarting and loosing all my data a few times :p).

Right now, I'm running the 7.14.30 update, with TWRP 3.1.1 installed, and Magisk 14.5 as well.

So, my question is, "Can I lock the bootloader without getting it stuck in a bootloop?"

I know the answer's probably "no", but I just want to know what I can do.

Maybe is there a way to remove the unlock warning screen at boot?

Thanks! You guys are awesome! :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] mahla13:
You need to be unrooted first then probably you can try locking bootloader. or else you can live with the warning it's not that bad.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] matcho13579:
Does the warning screen really bother you that much? I would say nothing if it was showing like each time the device is unlocked, but honestly, how many times do you restart your phone during one week? Once or twice?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sothis999:
Hello, so here is my problem. I have been using Cyanogenmod 13 on my LG G3/ls990 for months now. Recently I needed a static IP address through Sprint. When they applied the static IP to my account, I was stuck on 3G, even though I mostly have LTE. Basically what I did was use an old stock rom backup to update my PRL/Profile. This brought back my LTE service. Then I reloaded my CM13 backup. Unfortunately, at first it didn't recognize my sim card, and then it only recognized 3G. Okay, so no problem, I decided I would just go back to the stock rom and clean install a new custom rom. Unfortunately, when I went back to the stock rom, it was also stuck on 3G and this time when I tried to update the PRL/Profile it didn't work, I am guessing because it already saw these as updated. So after a few chats with Sprint's tech support, I was able to get LTE to work again. She said a particular network configuration file wasn't working right, and she did something which was suppose to fix it. As instructed, I typed in code ##72786# after she did it, and LTE worked perfectly. Stupidly, I thought it would be as simple as reloading my CM13 backup. Yet it did it again when I loaded the backup, and now I am stuck on 3G again. Before this I didn't really connect the two together. Does anyone know what exactly is happening here? Tomorrow I plan to call Sprint again, to get them to fix the file, but is there a way I can do it myself, in case I have this problem again when I install a new custom rom? For example, if I go into ##Data# will I fix things by changing a setting in there or something? I hate having to talk to Sprint every time this messes up, and yeah, I know it was stupid of me to do the same thing twice, but it was a day apart and I forgot what I had done the first time. Hopefully whomever I talk to tomorrow can figure out what the woman I spoke with did, because she definitely knew what she was doing. Thank you for all of your help!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sothis999:
Update: Called Sprint they reset my network and I have LTE again. I am somewhat wary of installing a new rom but would like one for resolving performance issues and wifi tether. I downloaded an unofficial Lineage 15 Rom yesterday while I was on 3g only, but it couldn't find my sim. Is there a way to backup my current network settings?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sothis999:
Update 2: So I just tried a fresh install of Lineage 15 and it didn't work. First it recognized cell but no data. Then I went into data settings chose carrier settings that crashed, "android.com. [something]has stopped working" , the sim was unrecognizable after that and the carrier settings weren't there any longer. I backed up my EFS partition in the stock rom before installing, but then I was stuck on 3g even despite that. I called Sprint again, and got them to reset my network settings. Don't want to keep calling them though.

Anybody here with Sprint and a static IP that can recommend a ROM that will work and not mess up my network settings? I don't care if it is Marshmallow or Nougant, I just want something that doesn't overheat my phone and which I can have native tethering.

EDIT: I was able to install Fullmics and retain my LTE.
