[Other SmartWatches] androstu:
Hello XDA, :cowboy:

So.... I had messed up with my smartwatch A1 MTK6261, i was trying to flash a new rom so that i can get rid of the boring stock watchfaces. But i forgot to make a backup.

I have tried many many ROM s, almost all the ROM s available for A1 smartwatch and for my chip-set MTK6261, but none seems to work properly. I even tried other watch's ROM s but no use. All i get is inverted colors, no touch, or the display upside down.

Now i have two ROM s that i think can work if one of the developers can fuse them, i tried a lot but could not find any app to open these files.

Theres one ROM that works fine with touch working flawlessly but with inverted colors .

Heres the link https:// w w w .needrom.com/download/smart-watch-a1-mtk6260/

and

the other ROM that shows colors just fine and it has a very good clock face that i like but there is no touch functionality with this one.

Heres the ROM https:// drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-l9QVrKfbiWWml5NW9lTkFZa0E

Please remove space in the link, ( XDA wont Allow me to post links, since im new :o )

i request the developers to please get the touch functionality from the first Rom and put it in the second ROM. the second one is perfect it just lacks the touch functionality. Will really appreciate if you can do this.

Just get the touch files from the first ROM and put them in the Second ROM.

Thanks in Advance.. :fingers-crossed:

I have HiStudio ( attached) , Win 10 Pro and M10P. HiStudio can not recognize the phone. Any solutions?

If somebody has a new version of HiStudio please post it.

any guideto unlock and root this blazing phone???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASMstudent:
I just bought this phone and I was surprised by the complete lack of support almost anywhere. It's like the device doesn't exist. I want to give it a chance but if things remained the same, I'll have to sell it.

Black Shark

I want to root too. How do people initiate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisan:
The Black Shark is fairly new. Especially the Global Version.

Since it is also quite hard to get you need to have patience.

As for the Global Version i already posted a Solution on how to unlock the Bootloader here.

For the Chinese Version there is no known way how to do it currently. There are a few guides online claiming how to do it but its not working according to some Posts.

So till someone with deeper knowledge of TWRP Programming comes around the corner i guess we are unlucky regarding Root/TWRP.

I can confirm, these are very generic guides... Unfortunately our phone doesn't get unlocked like a normal Xiaomi.

I'd love to understand how the commands for the Global version got discovered...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisan:
It was just luck. I checked a few sides and on one i found different commands. One being the Unlock code i used. Which is a generic code.

https://www.howtogeek.com/239798/how-to-unlock-your-android-phones-bootloader-the-official-way/

Simple and easy. I just thought give it a try and it did work. But like i said its different for the Chinese Version since the OS is also a bit different.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loriz:
Damn, that was lucky! :laugh:

Maybe with the release of the Helo in Europe they will release the procedure...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisan:
So i wrote a Mail to the BlackShark Team a few days ago and received this as answer:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loriz:
This is pretty interesting, thank you!

I'd say we should spam them with bootloader unlock emails and release of roms...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisan:
I doubt that it will help since i never got a reply per Mail. The reply was given to me in the Facebook Chat of the Global Facebook Page.

I would suggest either asking the Seller for it as written in the response or trying to write to the BlackShark Chinese FB Page. Since you have the Chinese Version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisan:
The experience continues ^^

I wrote a message to the Shop i purchased my Black Shark at.

This is the reply:

My reply to that:

Let`s see if i can get my hands on the ROM or if i have to wait till the newest update for my Shark will come out to get it via the OTA Link.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loriz:
That's great! So happy that this community is not dead yet! :highfive:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisan:
Unfortunately nor Blackshark or the Seller want to provide me with the Image.

As of now there is a new Update for the Chinese Version available called G66X1811300CN00MPX

If anyone with a CN Version of the Phone would like to try to get me the Logs i might be able to grep the ROM or Update from the Servers.

To get the Logs do the following:

Go to Settings/System/About the Phone and tap on Build-Number till it says you are a dev now.

Then unter Settings/System and check under System Updates for the new Update.

While its downloading go to Settings/System/Developer Options and click on Take bug report.

Choose Interactive Report and click on Report at the bottom.

After a while it will tell you that the Log is finished. You can then send it per mail or save it on your device.

Then Download it to your Desktop or upload it directly to Google Drive or something and send me a link.

Kind Regards,

Invi
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisan:
Alright. New stuuuuuuff. Today i received an OTA Update on my Shark. Which i could succesfully download to my Computer.

Current Version is called G66X1809121OS00MPX

New Version is called G66X1811240OS00MPX

With that i was able to extract the ZIP File which gave me the following Files.

care_map.txt
compatibility.zip
META-INF
payload.bin
payload_properties.txt

I extracted the Payload.bin with payload_dumper Thanks to this post

Which resulted in the following Files:

.gitkeep
abl.img
aop.img
bluetooth.img
boot.img
cmnlib.img
cmnlib64.img
custom.img
devcfg.img
dsp.img
dtbo.img
hyp.img
keymaster.img
modem.img
qupfw.img
storsec.img
system.img
tz.img
vbmeta.img
vendor.img
xbl.img
xbl_config.img

So this might mean we are able to install Magisk with the boot.img file extracted from the ZIP. Currently im unsure if im willing to risk a brick. But on second thought i can reinstall the original boot.img if its not working.

I will keep you updated.

Kind Regards,

Invi

I'm in China at the moment and have had my eye on this phone for a while now. But reading through the comments and seeing the non-existent development around this phone, I think I've changed my mind. Plus the camera reviews are pretty bad too - between the slow software development, comments above and iffy upgrades, it's probably a better idea to give this one a pass and go for a OP6 or other 845 based phone.

They should be able to run PUBG at full graphics anyway.

I bought one and had it shipped to the US from China. Just took the verizon sim out of my old phone and put it in. After installing all the google stuff I havnt really had any problems.

Any one else experiencing the same issues or not what causes it?

Not long got this phone starting to get things done........ my way

Removed Bloated Apps

Settings changed for better battery usage

Now I am getting a blue line when scrolling/swiping up and down on certain pages under my finger touch

Did I enable something?

Checked Smart Assistance - Draw options

Sometimes my screen dims, automatic brightness has been diasbled, I think :mad:

Tried setting "increase readability under sunlight" under developer options to off as well as on

Any help would be appreciated
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Jannomag:
You mean like in the screen I attached?

This is the knuckle gesture feature. There are gestures for taking screenshots, split view and others for use with your finger knuckles.

If you have it while you're scrolling your fingers are so hard that the screen thinks it's a knuckle. Maybe you have long finger nails or scarf-skin?

You can disable this under ‘Settings’ > ‘Smart assistance’ > ‘Motion control’.

Appears to be a good kernel for anyone looking for a flash-and-forget performance oriented kernel. Doesn't have a whole lot of options to fulfill my tweaking addition, but this kernel is not meant for loads of options anyways.

First impressions look pretty good, kernel is extremely responsive, and apps appear to open faster compared to stock kernel (probably due to OC freqs). However I'm noticing my CPU hitting max frequencies & sticking there while playing Train Conductor World, even while idling on the "map". Flashed back to stock kernel to compare and stock kernel does NOT exhibit this behavior.

But I do hope, before your wrote this up, you could have almost seen a reply from almost every dev here that you can't compare the stock kernel to to almost every kernel (custom), why is that so?? if you have tracked down the commit history it was evident that the Oneplus QOS framework together with some hooks have been removed, furthermore, the shipped opchain module with the source is a bit nit-picky to build, that module controls/moderates frequency behavior..

Your work has always been fantastic.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackthund3r:
XDA today published an article about a vulnerability in the OnePlus 6 bootloader that allows the booting of a custom boot.img image without unlocking the bootloader. This is of course a huge security risk but I'm sure OnePlus will patch it in an upcoming update. In the mean time, let's have some fun!

Back in the good old days of the Nexus 4, it was possible to install an app that would write boot config data to the device from userland, with root, to toggle the bootloader between the locked and unlocked states. The object of this post? Do this as a community for the OnePlus 6!

Why do this?

There are two major gains to being able to do this:

Security: once a device is rooted we'd be able to re-lock the bootloader to prevent tampering or unauthorised images from being booted whilst keeping the perks of being rooted

Netflix HD: Widevine L1 keys aren't accessible when the Bootloader is unlocked. This way, we may be able to get our Widevine keys accessible again to get HD Netflix with root

I attempted to reverse some of the bootloader on my own a few weeks back but didn't have much luck. With this vulnerability, my thoughts are that we could dump the data partitions with a locked device (that is exploited using this trick) and compare them with an unlocked device. This might give us the magic data that the bootloader uses to determine whether a device is locked or unlocked. Then, in theory, we should be able to toggle this data from userland. The only caveat to this is that I don't know whether the unlock state is stored somewhere in the TrustZone or if it is written to the flash like they did back in the Nexus days.

I honestly have no idea whether this will work, but surely it's worth a shot? Just for reference, I recommend we look at diffing following partitions before and after locking:

param

sec

sti

ssd

frp

config

misc

We should also, to ensure there is no confusion, stick to OOS 5.1.5 stock + Magisk for root. Images of the above partitions can be obtained using dd.

If anybody has any further tips on bootloaders that either proves that this won't work, or perhaps can suggest other places this lock data could be stored, please do let me know!

NB: getting this data will involve at least one full data wipe of the phone so it might take time to dump the data, switch lock state then dump it again.

I also strongly suspect that we might hit the issue of Android Verified Boot noticing that the device is locked (but has a modified boot image when rooted). This would depend on whether the Android security checks are implemented as per the Android Verified Boot specification.

Who's in?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgunn:
Couldn't you just hide Netflix HD from root detection in Magisk?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bcpu:
No. With an unlocked bootloader the device is switched to Widevine level 3 instead of level 1. This means no HD playback in Netflix (and I believe Amazon) regardless of Magisk hide status. This may be the new normal for all unlocked devices with the Qualcomm SD 845 or newer.
