Orbit Team - WORLDS FIRST to even touch this Orbic Wonder and push out root, recovery, debloated rom, dumps and more! Uni Android Team - Myself -> Worlds first to create added support to main module for this device!

Thanks Jason! You are right secrecy is important at this stage in our work. I do what I can with the busted 900E mode Orbic I have =]. Every day tinkering with test points to get it to yet once again drop into Qualcomm 9008 EDL so I can flash the dump i took back to the phone using Uni Android Tools / QPST / Inferno / SFT Dongle. Which ever works out with this phone.. Already had issues sending the MSM8937 loader through multiple times with various programs hoping I wont have the same with Uni Android Tools so far seems to work out fine along with QPST QFIL. In the rare event anyone bricks their device feel free to join our channel and ask for help. QPST is free and works just fine with my dump. All are QPST compatible and I also have dumps with Inferno and the other tools mentioned used in this project so far.

I have managed to work my magic and this phone is already added to Uni Android Tools program and I am working on getting it recognized by other programs/boxes out there on the market. This is big news! Not to mention lets hope everyone can look forward to in depth android blog/news site articles on the phone that was slept on.. Our little Wonder.. Soon!!

Also look forward to a new customized Theme for TWRP on our next release of it. Hopefully a nice 2-4 Custom UI Themes as well using Nova Launcher as the base. As well we are looking into testing Magisk modules and XPosed it it'll work without any issues.

Like Jason said this phone goes for $35-$50 new on eBay right now and for its specs thats a pretty good deal seeing how it has active development for it that won't be stalling any time soon. I'm purchasing one next week if I cannot bring this device out of 900E and force 9008.

More to come! Stay tuned people and get involved!

Want to make a quick post about this too, since we fixed TWRP not mounting /data on the phone

So apparently the reason TWRP wasn't able to mount /data was because this phone has a force-verity encryption thing going on with it. I worked with the group and we fixed it right up easily. First we flashed the disable-encryption-and-verity zip (version 6.0) that you can easily find online, then we rebooted to fastboot and flashed stock non-TWRP recovery. The phone booted up and gave us a warning about not being able to decrypt /data and needing to do a factory reset. We went through with this and did the factory reset through stock recovery. After that the phone booted up just fine. At this point we rebooted back into fastboot and re-flashed our dirty port of TWRP and now /data is able to be read just fine

EDIT: also, on the Mega repo linked in my previous post, I now have a TWRP flashable zip called "debloated-stock". unfortunately google play and package installer seem broken in it, but at least it provides a semi-stable baseline anyone can flash back to so now they feel safer flashing other stuff and messing around with the phone a bit more. After you flash that stock ROM, you must also subsequently flash the disable encryption zip I was talking about in this post, or else it'll just re-encrypt everything and you'll be back at square 1

thanks for understanding, the above policy speaks for itself.

A

thread, a

, can have his own chats linked in the first post as a "faster" way to reply as if here is not the same, anyway ... but what is running here is only a discussion and by linking chat channels, diverting the users away from XDA won`t help us nor the users to have their dedicated thread on XDA.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noidodroid:
Again my apoligies. I didnt see the past about DEVELOPMENT thread. Maybe you can help us with a dedicated section for the Orbic Line of smartphones and start off with the Wonder? =] IMO It is always best to have a Thread and a chatgroup because this speeds up development which results in work done quicker, more people interested and more traffic for this phone including XDA. We direct everyone to XDA and REPO from chats and other sites. So far nobody else has has a problem with this and I speak with the admins.. AndroidForums, GSMForums etc.

Could you instead of linking people to an S9? thread put it in the actual Rules of the forum. This will be very helpful to all. If it is already there I haven't ran across it yet.

Cheers

[Miscellaneous Android Development] noidodroid:
Nope. Just did it! Told you i would before even looking into it. =]

Check post above.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jasonmerc:
The image isn't loading but I must say I'm truly impressed. Unfortunately for me though that doesn't mean I can use it on Verizon, because they do a device ID check with their own system to see if you "really" unlocked it before they let you on postpaid. For other carriers though this should be good to go as you just proved

Orbic Themes

We are probably going to be relying on OFR - Orange Fox Recovery which i spoke with the devs and they will create maintainer for us. For most of what we

do for here on out will be OFR but will look into buidling official recognized PBRP, RedWolf (dead though) and also TWRP if we can get their attention.

OFR - https://gitlab.com/OrangeFox

Here is a little splash i just did for the Orbic Wonder OFR Boot logo (Blue and others coming soon to match OFR colors) -

Having some issues with getting ATT working on the unlock and the way I do it I can't post a tutorial to just yet until i find a way to create some kind of unlock script or app or use alternate tools. So for those that are asking about unlock you'll have to wait a bit.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] noidodroid:
Sorry I have to follow forum rules until i get something together to make this happen. If i had the time i would do FREE for people but this takes too much time out of my workday. It's only a month? of active service if you wait to get it unlocked. I simply did it because I like challenges, wanted to get it done along with everything else myself and team have done for this device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shah_vm:
thanks noidodroid for the update patiently waiting for the instructions. hope to hear from you soon.

unlocking done!!!

steps

1 root the phone by orangeFox recovery and magisk

2 enable diag port by NCK box qualcomm module

3 backup QCN by NCK box qualcomm module

4 rest EFS by NCK box qualcomm module

5 write QCN you backupd befor with NCK box qualcomm module

6 no more step its unlock

call me mikejah
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noidodroid:
Yeah it can be done using certain software but I don't want to go against form Rules by advertising my team's software that we use and distribute as it would be against the rules. So that's why I decided to come up with a standalone version an application of such or a batch file to assist in doing it. Did you use an old version or a paid version of nck box Qualcomm Edition? I've always wanted to grab that and give it a try to see how it works out compared to some of our stuff. Maybe just email me or message me so we aren't talking about this stuff in the open here and get in trouble.

Can you tell me what version of your bootloader?

Go to fastboot and type in "fastboot getvar all" and paste the results here to me. You can omit your serial number so it isn't viewable by public here.

Fastboot unlock command is "fastboot oem unlock" also.

Which model of your orbic wonder is it as well? Verizon or Factory Unlocked?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noidodroid:
Hello all. Have been busy with business and rebuilding the Orbic Team. Once I get the time I will upload more files and clean up Orbic related threads.

Our lil ol Wonder is not lost just in pause mode! Stay tuned.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noidodroid:
Like I've posted on Android forums and other communities the orbic Wonder project is running a bit slow due to the fact I am over swamped with work and our team is not once as large as it was. We are still looking for more talented coders to come aboard and as well as always beta testers that want to give out of work a try. We have also worked on the orbic slim and now have TW RP recoveries for Android 5.1 model and the upgraded 6.0. Next Step will be custom roms and hopefully we will be able to replicate with the orbic slim X as well. But that said now we have left the factory unlocked orbic Wonder with fingerprint reader but I have still yet time to dig around with the bootloader and strings and see what it is that is preventing me from unlocking it.

Contrary to belief the security patch up to August 18th I believe is not an issue for the orbic Wonder bootloader have the Verizon variant. You can still unlock the bootloader on up to August and even after this point I am more than sure. If anyone here has a system update and security update patch that wouldn't mind locking their bootloader than trying to unlock again that would be excellent.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TrevRawr84:
Im new here but was into Android Root/Rom scene years ago. I'd be happy to beta test on my Verizon Wonder.

As of Jan 1st patch, I was able to unlock the bootloader, flash OrangeFox, and obtain root (sideload Magisk Manager). However, after reboot it seems to have lost root privileges, so another sideload will have to take place and see if it'll stick. When I get to my laptop I'll try again.

I have awful Verizon service here in New Mexico and am looking to move this over to MetroPCS as GSM service is leaps and bounds better around here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noidodroid:
Hey there and welcome to the thread! Hope you are having lots of fun with your orbic Wonder. We would love to have you as a beta tester. This is excellent news that the bootloader is still unlockable after January 1st 2020. We have explained in one of our threads here how to go about rooting and flashing TWRP so that you can have either encrypted partition but partial root or full root with a fully decrypted file system. It is up on Android forums I believe the best weigh explained. Jason r x teammate as explained how to do it the kind of difficult way but is the best way to do it when you are decrypting. It is kind of a pain in the a s s as you have to decrypt then Flash the stock recovery back in order to follow through with the format after the decrypt and then flashback TWRP and so forth and then Flash DM Verity and then root. Metro PCS runs great on it if you can get it unlocked. If not I can help you out with it here's some time. Shoot me a message and I will give you some details in updates files repositories and what not on our orbic Wonder.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

I was thinking about this and it almost sounds like you are trying this on the global unlocked version. Which has the fingerprint scanner at the bottom. I have been dissecting the bootloader some the past months when I have had time and am looking at a way to unlock it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
The Verizon Orbic Wonder is fully GSM unlocked out of the box. The only restriction on using a GSM SIM is Verizon's firmware-embedded network unlock notification via the TeleServices.apk located in /system/priv-app/TeleService. By removing Verizon's TeleService.apk and replacing it with an AOSP PhoneServices.apk, Verizon's network unlock notification is removed, as is the persistent non-Verizon SIM notification. APN settings can be forced either by manually editing apns-config.xml or using a root-dependent APN settings app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noidodroid:
Seriously? If that's the case then unlocking prepaid Verizon phones would be simple. I unlocked a few different ways and none came that easy. ha
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Indeed, I fully agree: most Verizon prepaid phones are next to impossible to GSM unlock. In fact, I'm sure there are many Verizon prepaid devices that can't be unlocked without an unlock code. Nonetheless, methods vary greatly from phone to phone. What works to carrier unlock one Verizon prepaid device may or may not work on another Verizon prepaid phone. But, on the other hand, most Verizon phones cannot be bootloader unlocked, either. The Orbic Wonder seems to be an exception to the rules in both regards. I'm using an H2O SIM in my Orbic right now, a mvno of AT&T. The only real difficulty I encountered was making 4G/LTE mobile data persist on reboots. Manually editing the apns-config.xml file solved the problem. H2O is the only GSM SIM I've tried thus far, so I can't really confirm my method on other GSM networks. In theory it should work. Like most other Qualcomm based devices, additional LTE bands can most likely be enabled using the method outlined in this thread. https://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-enable-lte-bands-surnia-t3351673/page7 I'll confirm one way or the other after some more testing and experimentation. Technically speaking, the Orbic Wonder does not need to be GSM unlocked. It reads GSM SIM cards out of the box. Hence, it isn't locked in the first place. The only real work is forcing the device to connect to cellular data using the non-Verizon SIM, disabling the persistent notification of a non-Verizon SIM, and adding your particular APN configuration to the apns-config.xml. These network "restrictions" are merely firmware based. Of course, a potential issue with using some GSM providers on the Orbic Wonder may be 4G/LTE band related. But again, while I can't confirm at the moment, I'm now using QPST/QFIL diag mode in an attempt to enable more 4G/LTE bands on the Orbic Wonder. If successful, I'll post a thread with clear instructions and links for the necessary utilities.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
To update on my testing, QPST/QFIL diag mode indicates that the Verizon Orbic Wonder supports the following cellular bands, out of the box:

GSM: Quad Band: 850/900 / 1800/1900 (MHz)

WCDMA: 800 / 1900 (MHz)

UMTS: 800 / 1900 (MHz)

HSDPA: 800 / 1900 (MHz)

4G/LTE: Bands 2, 4, 5, 12 & 13

As far as 4G/LTE band support, both major GSM providers, their MVNOs and subsidiary networks appear to be supported on the Verizon Orbic Wonder. Both AT&T & T-Mobile utilize LTE Bands 2, 4, 5 & 12 for 4G/LTE cellular data. I've personally confirmed full operability on an H2O SIM, via AT&T's nationwide LTE network. According to the radio specs of the Orbic Wonder, any GSM SIM should work normally, so long as the proper tweaks are made. I'm currently working on a TWRP flashable Aroma installer that will carry out the requisite system-level mods based on the particular GSM provider the user selects. Once finished, I will include instructions for full GSM support.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'm working the kinks out on my Aroma installer. I finally figured out tthat the deadlock issue was due to a kernel loopback problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mwcysec:
Can I get an update on a dirty port of TWRP recovery? I swear I'm missing something.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I just revamped TWRP for this device, fixed the persistent OEM mount error, added support for external micro SD storage and optimized pigz compression for faster backup & restore. I'll post a download link later today. My goal is to bring TWRP all the way up to upstream source on v3.4.0-0. I'm working on the get.prop values now so that this device is recognized as an Orbic Wonder versus the Moto E4 Plus.

Here's a build with everything working https://drive.google.com/file/d/14zhgVG9BLpLw6iEtIp9HqYFS88CFRk24/view?usp=drivesdk

I'll post a final build when I get everything rebased.

[MENTION=5006327]jasonmerc[/MENTION] that's an honor coming from you. Thank you. I know you develop for several devices. I see your name in various threads and forums all over xda.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joswdev:
Sorry I’m really new back coming back to android and got this phone today at target for 15 dollars, do we have custom rom support on this device? I’m looking to bring the android version as high as possible and am only finding debloated roms. Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
To the best of my knowledge, there are currently no custom ROMs for the Verizon Orbic Wonder. That could very well change, as there are some dedicated XDA members working on this device. I'm looking to the possibility of porting Android 9 Pie (Go Edition) to this device as well or, in the alternative, Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition). I had a perfect Pie build to port to this device, but the Orbic Wonder's aarch64 (64-bit) architecture complicated things.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jasonmerc:
Is this related to the TWRP post you put above? As in, did you figure out a kernel source to substitute for the one we're missing? Or maybe you're talking about a GSI or dirty port or something. Either way, I'm excited for this now. Wish I still had my Wonder
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Like you guys, I am without kernel source code. So yes you're correct I'm not compiling with source code. There are at least three Motorola devices that have specs strikingly similar to the Wonder. It will technically be a "dirty port" but I honestly feel like stability as a daily driver can be accomplished with bug reports, tweaking, etc. Have you guys tried anything on the lines of a GSI build for this device? Has it been tried?.

On the kernel, I've torn the boot image down and I'm working an ElementalX CPU governor, maybe a scheduler and some TPC algorithms.
