[General Questions and Answers] micaldas:
Hi,

I should preface this post by saying that I'm totally new to rooting. Been reading some things since yesterday night, but I'm still very unsure of how everything works.

I have a Samsung S8+ SM-G955F that I would like to root. As i use Debian, I looked for a tutorial with Heimdall (the only rooting method I could find for linux), and discovered this: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48491135&postcount=4

I already downloaded my specific firmware from updato.com, downloaded heimdall-frontend 1.4.1 and started following the tutorial.

Heimdall recognized my phone promptly, under 'utilities' I pressed the button 'close' and my phone restarted as expected.

Then I rebooted it and entered download mode. I went to "load package", got my firmware package and, after some time, got a error message saying "firmware.xml is missing from the package".

I opened the package and, in fact, I didn't find a file with that name.

My question is this; how can I find this missing file? I didn't see any posts, here or anywhere, that referenced this specific file. May it be that this is a error message for something that I'm doing wrong? If so, what might that be?

And lastly, I've found a lot of rooting methods, all of them very different between themselves, and using very different tools. Is this tutorial that I linked to, suitable for beginners? Or should I be starting somewhere else?

Thanks for all the help.

hey guys i am new here and was wondering (and i have searched but with no success) if i delete some of the apps on my new tilt like telnav and game demos will it speed it up a bit and give me more storage? if it does, what is the best way to do this? the sales person said something about doing a hard reset then a soft reset when is is booting..anyone heard anything like this. thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] KD8DNS:
ok if you in fact DID search you would have found it.

anyway start, settings, system, and remove programs...

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertywatson:
Sometimes when my phone rings I get this stupid popup window that blocks me from swiping my phone to answer the call. The phone is still ringing and I have the option to select one of the phrases. I just want to answer the phone. This does not happen all the time it is intermittent. I have now gone into the Quick Responses and deleted the four phrases so not sure if this will help or if I will now get a blank popup and still cannot answer the call.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi

Can someone tell me if the treble Pie version of OmniRom supports FM Radio if the hardware is present?

I notice the stock Huawei apk is on the file-system but it doesnt display in the app drawer.

Are there any steps I have to take to enable it if it is supported?

I am using an Huawei p9 lite if that's significant.

Thanks for any advice.

TWRP flashing was working fine !

I flashed

now whenever I try to boot into TWRP from fastboot mode using "fastboot boot xyz.img" command ,

1) small message appears on top left corner of device "press any key to shutdown"

and

2) on cmd errors comes like "FAILED (Too many links)"

help please ! :confused:

I am able to boot into TWRP using USB 2.0 but not with USB 3.0 port ! :confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] 01Thesam:
Things you need to remember when flashing anything on redmi note 5 pro.

If you are flashing through cmd command any recovery than..First flash dummy.img to pass antirollback ( otherwise you will not be able to flash twrp )

If you are flashing anything through twrp ...after flashing ....flash LAZY FLASHER.zip ( this will bypass twrp recovery flashing to avoid any bootloops or rebooting problem's ) But remember only to flash lazy flasher after you do any modifications to system through twrp.

Peace ✌?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] hargitomi:
It depends on the port he uses, as he just figured out. No need to flash dummy in order to boot into twrp recovery.

Dont know the exact reason why it is port-dependant, but I have found others having the same problem and the same solution.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] rasik107:
yea !

I flashed fastboot rom using MI-Flash thinking it was some software issue !

but still , able to flash TWRP on USB 2.0 port only !!! :confused:

[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Smaehtin:
Copying from my previous post:

I made a tool to "force update" my phone (Honor View 10, European/C432 model), and I thought I'd share it in case anybody wants to give it a try.

Notes

It is Windows-only (Specifically Windows 10 (64-bit), build 1809, although it probably works fine for most/all other versions of Windows)

It requires .NET Framework to be installed on your computer. It can be downloaded from here

It might cause some anti-virus programs to flag it due to the nature of the tool (although nothing on VirusTotal detects it as malware)

Currently, a lot of stuff is hard-coded (source code available below), including the path to HiSuite.exe. If the path to your HiSuite installation isn't "C:\Program Files (x86)\HiSuite\HiSuite.exe" (or "C:\Program Files\HiSuite\HiSuite.exe" in the case of 32-bit Windows), the tool won't work

It's currently only supposed to work with the BKL-L09 (C432) model. Do not use this tool if you do not have the BKL-L09 (C432) model

If you are on 32-bit Windows (your HiSuite installation path is "C:\Program Files\HiSuite" instead of "C:\Program Files (x86)\HiSuite"), download the HuaweiUpdaterWin32.7z file. Otherwise, download the regular HuaweiUpdater.7z file

And, of course, please use the tool at your own risk. I'm not responsible if the update somehow ends up breaking your phone.

Usage

Connect your phone to your computer through USB

Before proceeding, make sure HiSuite isn't running. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Task Manager or Ctrl+Shift+Escape) and make sure "Huawei PC Suite" (hisuite.exe) isn't running. If it's running, right-click and select "End Task" to kill the process

Run "Launcher.exe" and HiSuite should open

Click on the "Update" button. There should be a red dot on it

Wait for HiSuite to finish installing the update on your phone

Source code can be found here: https://github.com/Smaehtin/HuaweiUpdater

[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kavee.gauravjoshi:
I will try this today. Btw, can you just elaborate what is your approach for this solution? I mean the other Firmware finder solution masks your DNS and then updates the firmware and ROM. 2hat does your solution do? I am not a developer but just wanted to know how does it actually work. If it's too technical or difficult to explain, let it be. Just being curious. Thanks and happy new year dude :)
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] shashank1320:
Will try tonight and feedback
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Smaehtin:
The way the FunkyHuawei and Firmware Finder method works is by you configuring your network to use their DNS server. A DNS server is what is used on the internet for "resolving" a domain name (like google.com, .xda-developers.com, hicloud.com, etc.) into an IP address. So, when a "client" (either your computer when using HiSuite to check for updates or your phone) asks for the IP address of query.hicloud.com (used for update checking), instead of giving you the IP address of Huawei's update server like a normal DNS server would, it gives you the IP address of FunkyHuawei/Firmware Finder's update server.

So now, whenever you do an update check, you're not talking with Huawei's update server but a "fake" server, but your phone/computer isn't aware of this (well ...), and when your phone/computer asks this server if updates are available and if your phone is allowed to install the update, the server will just say "Yeah, here's the update, go ahead and install it".

My method is similar in some ways. What it does is "hooking" the HiSuite process. This allows my tool to intercept and alter communication between HiSuite and Huawei's update server, and by spoofing some requests/responses, it acts somewhat in the same way a "fake" server would. So, when HiSuite asks the update server if there are any updates available for your phone, the update server will say "Nope, no new updates at the moment" - but my tool will intercept that and overwrite the response with a "Yep, here's the update" instead.

Hopefully that explains things :)

[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kavee.gauravjoshi:
Thanks for this great explaination. I think i understood now. Why don't you include this in your initial posts? Its a nice learning for noobs like me. Just a suggestion. I feel there is very little *educating* material for Honor devices like the one you told about, or about rooting, or downgrading etc., at least for view 10. Unlike OnePlus devices. So I feel this might educate people who are just enthusiast, non technical and want to know few things.

Btw, the tool didn't work for my Indian model. Guess, because I am on EMUI 9.0 beta already. But thanks for the information :D
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] zp1989:

[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] shashank1320:

[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 2WildFirE:
works great mate! thanks for your work and sharing!
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Smaehtin:
"Not working" is pretty vague. How exactly is it not working? Does it crash, does it even run? If it doesn't run, make sure you have .NET Framework installed. Other than that, I can't really do much with "not working", it would be helpful with some more details, maybe screenshots as well if it makes sense.

That's why I provided the source code for the tool, for people who want to learn :)

Maybe. What's the exact version you're running? I used the tool to upgrade my phone from EMUI 9 beta (9.0.0.46) to non-beta.

What's your exact version number? Also, it makes no sense to use my tool while at the same time trying to use Firmware Finder's method of updating, that's just going to cause problems - if that's what you were doing :)
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] shashank1320:
Yeah i know what i tried. Tried few permutations and combinations. Directly when the firmware is not approved, when approved, FF and your tool but no luck. I will wait for stable OTA may be a week time only.

BTW, thanks for the tool

[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Smaehtin:
Hm, I don't know about that. If it's not a problem with your HiSuite.exe path or that you don't have .NET Framework installed, I'm not sure what else it could be, sorry.

Ah, they probably use the "new way" of doing update checks with that build. Unfortunately, I don't have solution for that right now :(

Hi, I tried above tool for C675 with Pie beta.

But unfortunately launcher.exe can't open Hisuite in foreground. While opening Launcher.exe I can see Hisuite starting in task manager but can't see it in foreground.

I'm using Win7 32 Bit.

.net framework is installed

No Antivirus is there

Use Win32 bit Launcher.exe

Force closed Hisuite before opening Launcher.exe

Still it fails to load Hisuite..

Anyway it helped many of my friends with Oreo to get Pie successfully. Thanks for the Tool.
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Smaehtin:
No, not at the moment.

Hm, that's weird. I've just tried it in a Windows 7 32-bit VM myself without any problems, so I'm not sure what the problem could be.
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] br54:

I read through the code and was wondering about the the hard-coded spoofed IMEI value "501337724238423". Where'd you get the info that Huawei would send the update to this one?

Update: Ah, noticed it later that that the response from the server was the one spoofed to insert the update. So Huawei is not using any secure communication in HiSuite that this simple man-in-the-middle attack worked.

Since this is the first time I am using hisute, I was thinking why installation took so much time without doing anything on my phone, even after the firmware download is completed. But hope it was downloading the package to phone. After it is finished the phone installation begin.
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Smaehtin:
Actually, the hard-coded IMEI is for the "authorization" request, it's what's used when HiSuite asks the update server to verifty that the update is allowed to be installed on your phone. So, all I'm doing is spoofing the IMEI in the request to one that I know (by trial and error) is allowed by Huawei to install the update.

The first part is the update check itself, though. With this, I'm spoofing the response from the server so that instead of saying "No updates available", it says "Update 9.0.0.159 is available, here's the download link".
