Warning

This is a dangerous tool. It can render your device permanently unusable. If you use it, your warranty will likely be void. You accept all responsibility for the consequences.

Acknowledgments

Special thanks to [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION] for taking the firehose I got and creating the k81tool with it!

Note Well

The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts.

Always backup your partitions before writing new contents, so that you can get back to where you started.

Never write both boot and recovery in one session. Always make sure that you can boot into the other partition in case something fails.

Preparation

Download magisks patched boot.img from here.

Download k81tool from here.

Setup your computer.

Setup for Windows

Download zadig.

Boot your device in EDL mode (see below).

Windows will want to install the Qualcomm USB driver. We won't be using it so cancel.

Run zadig. Find device 05c6:9008 and install the WinUSB driver for it.

Reboot your device and rerun steps to go back to EDL mode

Booting in EDL mode

adb reboot edl

Usage

k81tool.exe <read|write> <boot|recovery> <filename>

Example:

k81tool.exe read boot stock-boot.img

k81tool.exe write boot patched_boot.img

Multiple Operations

This is a "one-shot" tool. After performing an operation, it will reset the device with a 5 second countdown. If you wish to perform multiple operations (eg. backup, flash), simply re-enter EDL mode.

Common Problems

Device was not found

First enter EDL mode, then run the tool.

Device is visible in device manager but cannot be found by the tool.

Connect directly to the PC, not through a hub.

Windows says bad file descriptor

The WinUSB driver is not installed.

Once you flash the patched_boot.img all you need to do is install the magisks manager and you will have root enjoy!

Proof of root:

bad links??

Hi

First, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you x 100. I've been looking for a method to root this device from the day I got it as an add on to my cell plan. Not sure if I am missing something but when I click on the androidfilehost links I get taken to a home page but there is no file to download for all three links. Initially I thought I might have to register so I did that but the links still just take you to the Home advert page Could you update the links when you get a chance - thanks !!

edit - I have a couple of questions -As you have been the first to root the device there are obviously no custom firmware builds available so we stick with stock, correct? We will be able to remove the bloatware on stock because it's rooted though, correct? I also use tasker and the AutoApps suite for automation and I need root for some of my tasks so this is a huge step in the right direction. Lastly in order to root the device do we need to do follow all steps in the first post and then complete the steps in the second post? Or is the second post just a different way to do what was done in post 1? I'm excited to root this so thanks for fixing those links! Thanks again for all your work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deadman96385:
Sorry about that somehow the links broke, I have updated them so now they are proper.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] linkolinx:
Hey guys. Having a little trouble. I keep on running into "Failed: unknown error" when I try to flash the patched boot.img that was provided. I managed to read the stock boot image with no problems, but writing just runs into this error.

Thoughts?

I am using the Bell variant so I hope that isn't the source of it

Post Root questions

Hi

I'm about to try to root the device, assuming it goes according to plan, can we then install SuperSU? Do we need a TWRP for the device if we want to install another ROM and are there generic ROMS out there that would work on this tablet? Sorry if these are noob questions, I've been an apple jailbreaker for years and just bought and rooted and installed a custom ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S4. I installed a new android tablet NAV in my BMW and I needed a device to act as a hotspot, so I use Tasker and AutoApps with it to automate the process and it works really well. When I rooted the Galaxy S4 there are a ton of ROMS available for every variant so it was easy to follow the instructions. However, this is totally new territory for me. This device isn't nearly as popular so I wondered what options are available to us once we have it rooted?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ryanoc75:
same issue failed unknown error

Hi

I am using the Rogers K81 and I am encountering the same failed unknown error when I try to write the patched boot file. I also was able to read the firmware file without issue. I rebooted into edl mode and then tried to write the patched file -

NB - for those who have yet to try, move the k81tool.exe and the patched boot file to your c drive and make sure your at the root of c and then remove the B05 in the patch file name so that it can find the file if you are just cutting and pasting the command line instructions above, otherwise you'll get an error that it can't find the file. If the k81tool.exe isn't in the current directory you are in you will get an error saying k81tool.exe is not a known command ..etc.etc. This might seem obvious to some but for those with little command line experience, it will save you from having to post questions about your errors.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] huaji2333:
There is a product ZTE primetime K92 which is a successor of a ZTE K81.

Do you plan to support root for ZTE Primetime K92?:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deadman96385:
A friend of mine has the k92, and currently it has a locked bootloader even with the firehose and all. So he is working to find an exploit to allow it to be unlocked. But no ETA at this time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] s_021:
Thank you for providing this. I have the Virgin Mobile device currently. Just a question before I try this. My past experience with a tablet from Rogers a few years ago was that whenever you put a different sim card in, it would force you to reset the entire device. To get around this, I was lucky that there were other generic firmware available for that device. Does the Rogers firmware that you provide force a reset if you change the sim? I'd ideally like to have the option to change sims when traveling. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bridonca:
I own a Virgin Mobile Canada ZTE K81 tablet. As much as I like a rooted device, my goal, if possible, is to replace the Bell firmware with the Rogers firmware. The reason I would want to do this is because Bell has done some nasty things with this tablet. The SIM card is IMEI locked to this tablet, I cannot use the SIM card on anything else. So I decided this tablet could be used as a wifi hotspot. Unfortunately, Bell did something to the firmware to make wifi and bluetooth tethering impossible.

I guess the other question I have is will the IMEI lock still work on this Bell tablet after the Rogers firmware is installed?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Online Gravy:
wow i didn't think development for this device would've gotten this far already. we're gonna need our own device forum soon

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

imei locks are independent of the device itself. you need to get the carrier to give you an unlock code
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bridonca:
I got Bell to IMEI lock the SIM to another, better tablet, a LG G Pad IV 8.0 FHD (LGV533) from Fido. The SIM works perfectly, I can now wifi tether!

That makes it an easier choice to hack at the Bell K81, now that the IMEI lock is not tied to this K81 tablet anymore. If the Bell K81 works with the Rogers firmware, bonus. If it bricks, not the end of the world. My data plan will still work. I just need to find the time to do the hack!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deadman96385:
I have flashed my Bell k81 with Rogers firmware and it works properly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NathanD212:
any chance of getting Pie GO installed on this thing, mine lags to even tap and the stock settings leave only 400mb free of ram
[Miscellaneous Android Development] s_021:
I can't successfully flash the rogers firmware on the VM (Bell) device. When the flashing process gets to 'reading through the sparse file' for the userdata.img file, I get an error. The log reads:

{ERROR: sparse_open:1939 Didn't properly read the sparse_header!

If I delete this file as a test (not sure if that was a good idea), it continues on to reading the ddr.img file, but halts again and the error refers to this file being 0 bytes.

I may have missed a step. When is the kernel file used? Is the Rogers firmware file complete?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deadman96385:
Delete DDR as well and any of the ones it complains about that are empty. When I have sometime I'll upload a new package with those removed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] s_021:
Decided to try the k81tool to just root instead, but I'm getting the same Failed:unknown error as others have posted.

(Using VM stock firmware)

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

If you put in a Rogers sim, does it attempt to do a hard reset or just the usual reboot?

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] s_021:
Deleting the files also fails. The error is {ERROR: handleProgram:8615 'ddr.img' not found. You could possibly try --notfiles=ddr.img,OtherFileToSkip.bin (note, exiting since you specified --noprompt)

Adding back ddr.img, the error is

{ERROR: handleProgram:8666 Filesize is 0 bytes. This is usually a mistake!! Please check 'C:\ZTE\rogers\ddr.img'

So i am now on pixel experience Rom. and in the future i would like to try other roms what to do and how to install them using TWRP ?

like should i wipe data like when i installed my first rom only ? or data and system ?

and should i install vendor ROM and Disaple force encryption again after i wipe ?

or just delete data and install the new rom ?

i will really appreciate the help !

Thanks in advance !
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] pingufanpoy:
Remove your password pin pattern then wipe data system cache if you don't clean flash then you will get alot of force crashes. You can dirty flash on top of the same rom though if it's just a incremental update.

1. Remove pattern and pin. If you don't do this step then you will have to factory reset your phone with stock MIUI.

2. Wipe all except internal storage and external storage.

3. Flash vendor and rom.

4. Flash disableforceencryption with magisk 18.0.

5. Flash your twrp again so it isn't replaced by stock.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TheVow:
Thank you! I understood every step except for 5.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ahmd gom3aa:
hey bro

search for MULTIROM thread

you can flash multiple roms and your primary one won't be touched or affected as long as you follow the instructions.

for me ,i always use one of miui roms as a primary ( some bugs occur if miui used as secondary )

& AOSip/ pixel experience/ ..... as secondary roms.. add as much as you want.

learn the procedure carefully then you are ready to go.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
No, you are right. Only OEM ROMs which have recovery built in will replace TWRP. None of the custom ROMs to my knowledge have recovery built in. So no need to flash TWRP again unless you are flashing OEM ROMs.

Even when flashing OEM ROMs, if you flash Magisk immediately after the ROM before booting, TWRP will remain.

Does anyone know of an equalizer app that works over Bluetooth for any Android phone running Android 8 or 9? Is it impossible to write an app that will do it because bluetooth streaming basically always turns the phone into a Preamp and you can only equalize at the streaming endpoint and can't alter the music signal before that? Or are there some phone manufacturers or music player apps that have built-in equalizers that will work over bluetooth? (Specifically I'd like to find one that works on LG Phones [V30/G8], using Google Play Music)

SM-G530H rooted with stock ROM. Phone was fine until a couple of days ago the started eating the battery, dead in 3-4 hours. Bought a new battery, charged it and the same result. 3-4 hours. no more. This is in standby. Shut the phone off, charged it to 100%, unplugged it and waited an hour. phone turned off. Still 100% battery. Booted and Installed CPU-X to try to determine if something was "hitting" the CPU or memory was full. CPU looks pretty normal, one core parked the others at 1-2% with an occasional excursion to say 30% for half a second and back to 1-2 %. During the excursion the parked CPU does not come online. One thing I notice is that CPUX says the phone has 884 MB RAM where specifications say 1GB. Wondering if something has happened to part of the RAM.... I am trying to determine whether to wipe and reload the stock firmware or I have a hardware problem.......any help or suggestions welcome.

Note that 2 different CPU programs say 884MB of RAM. Also note that the phone has very few programs on it other than whats on the stock ROM.

Did a search for high battery usage and didnt find anything like the problem i am having.

Thanks.

Please note I mistakenly posted this to the General forum and realized my mistake. My apologies to all.

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a wrong forum.

I have a Kaiser and I want to setup it up to receive my office email on it. Only problem is that my company didn't buy microsoft license for an exchange server, which means I cannot setup my phone with exchange server to receive emails automatically,

Is there any other service which will let me push emails from outlook to the phone through internet?

Please suggest if there is a way to receive emails on phone without the exchange server?

Appreciate your help,

Thanks

Not sure, All I have is the outlook setup for office emails on my laptop, and I only get emails if I'm connected to the office intranet or log in through the VPN on outside network,What can I use to get the outlook emails on the phone (either directly or through push services)

thank you for your help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] tyguy:
For push/pull you (your company) needs to install the services from microsoft.

Can you ask if they have any external services installed? Keep in mind VPN is like if you are in the inside network, just through a secure channel through the internet.

I didn't read yet but if you look in the forums "General" section or use <search> you'll find tons of things regarding VPN access using WM5/6 or WM6.1

IF your company has SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) services installed you may be able to access company email like you receive gmail or yahoo (though I doubt that they have it installed).
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] snowier:
Hey All,

Long time lurker, first time poster here. I've been Googling around and can't seem to find an answer to this question. I have my S9+ and it updated to Pie a few days ago. Since then, I've been having issues with Wi-Fi calling. It works correctly, but it will keep trying to "Optimize" using Wi-Fi or Cellular.

This is an issue, as I work in an office building with nearly zero cell service anywhere, with maybe one or two patches of it that pop in off an on. I've noticed that throughout the day it'll randomly switch back and forth, sometimes four or five times in a row. I've been looking EVERYWHERE to see if there's a way to turn off their "Optimization" setting, but can't find anything. I want it to stay on Wi-Fi, and not automatically swap to cellular whenever it feels like it. This was the default behavior on Oreo.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks everyone!
