I'll see if I can find one. They have the board incorrectly listed as both an MTK board and as an msm8953 even though from what I've been able to find msm8953 is strictly the snapdragon625. And Snapdragon 450 doesn't have an msm designation. This thing is a mess inside.

It's been awhile since I've done this mind you. Android has changed a bunch since the 2.X and 4.X days. I've been on a Nexus 6P for years which is open by default.

Wish it was as easy as installing gingerbreak and tapping root like the old days. Lol

I would get temp root via a RCE or EoP pull the boot image, modify it and flash it in EDL therefore enabling fastboot and making the phone ready for TWRP. After that it's just a matter of writing a program that does this for you and the phone would be ready for development.

I don't know if you guys figured this part out yet or not but I was able to open the engineering menu and turn on the diagnostics port and modem.

One of the menus are all in chinese so I'm not real sure what else it would let you access.

Just a reminder as a new update for mPCS was pushed today, Do NOT update. This will update your devices security patch to August(even though it's October, really Metro? Can't even give up to date SecPatches?). I'm not 100% sure it's August just going by the build date of the file. It's most likely not android 10 as it's only 335.6MB.

Ok, so I've done a little research and digging around and I found a couple large stashes of firehose files. One of them has quite a large collection of 8953 programmer files. Among those I came across one named prog_emmc_ddr_debug_8953_mmx.mbn and it seems to actually boot but once booted it wont list any partitions or work like we want it to probably because its not necessarily for this particular device. Long story short, it seems to partially work and the board listing for msm8953 isn't entirely incorrect apparently. I still have like 12 or so other variants of the 8953 firehose to test but I thought this was someone interesting and hoped maybe someone else with more knowledge on firehose files had some insight as to why it partially works. Information on this device is sparse to say the least but hopefully this is something we can work with. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated! I'm linking the firehose in question so that someone else can help figure this out. Thanks!

Edit: I dont have enough posts on the forum to link yet so PM for a google drive link for prog_emmc_ddr_debug_8953_mmx.mbn.

Anyone notice it doesn't come with a stock recovery?

Um.. not trying to be a n00b but has anyone tried to use the hardware keys to boot into recovery mode? Or even say using the ADB command to reboot recovery? Notice anything odd about the android logo and no other details or info what so ever. I would like to have root on the device, sure but i'd love to get a Recovery.img installed onto the device first and foremost. Unless there is a thread on XDA that i've missed due to wording the thread wrong or using a different information on the device. And just a small bit of reading their fine print. The CoolPad is owned by a company named: Yulong

So, since they really don't have much in software or even a footprint in the mobile phone game to be recognized as a brand to be listed on any site that i know of even by their mother company. I tried to look for a basic recovery that was made for Android P devices in general but i guess that would be the ideal method for the request.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerkxy:
Any update
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sapphiress:
It nagged me for about a week and now it's gone, they must have pulled it.

Send me a pm and I'll look into it.

It's stock recovery it's just a strange thing with Android pie. My Nexus 6P would also do it sometimes, and a couple Samsung phones I've had e.g note 8, or j7 also do this. Recovery is there though.

Coolpad has been around awhile, I had the Coolpad Quattro back in the day when that was a giant screen phone. They're a small company and they're terrible at QC because this ROM in riddled with bugs, none that are useful just frustrating.

Waiting on exploits. Any time you hear Android zero-day in the news would be a good time to check back :)

Unfortunately even though we're on a couple month old sec patch were there's only 2 notable exploits, neither of which were vulnerable to.

Tip: if you set the minimum width in developer settings to 600 you get the phablet UI in some apps. And this includes the desktop UI for chrome. Although it does make things small so if you don't have great eyes this may not be viable, and the gboard layout takes some getting used to.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sapphiress:
Fastboot is accessible but refuses all useful commands, OEM unlock switch literally does nothing. As this is on pie, and has dm-verity enabled, the best way to go about doing this to find a CvE that we're vulnerable too. However since this phones secpatch is only a coulple months old, there have only been 2 worthy exploits, but we are not vulnerable to them. In order to root it before a zero-day exploit would to be able to find a zero-day on the device itself, which I don't have the expertise nor patience for.

What methods are you trying I just got this phone yesterday and I don't Wana waste time trying stuff ppl have tried and confirmed doesn't work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sapphiress:
+ First, I tried all the generic one click crap(KingRoot, Kingo, Etc.) as always since it's a Chinese phone.

+ Tried a few gray area tools like MiracleThunder, Uni-Android tool and such, come up empty handed.

+ I've tried every firehose from similar hardware available and they all seem to be fruitless ruling out EDL mode.

+ Fastboot is available but actively refuses commands.

+ OEM Unlock is a dummy toggle.

+ Hidden activity for "The Factory Upgrade" I haven't looked so much into, as like recovery it's probably looking for a signed zip.

+ CVE-2019-2215 and CVE-2019-10529 are dead ends, seems the kernel was patched correctly. Any older exploits e.g Dirty Cow variants outright fail as it has kernel 4.9+

Other notes: The ROM is buggy as hell, so they messed up somewhere I just haven't found it yet.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sapphiress:
Metro is trying to push updates again. The numbers in the filename are the same. So I think it's the same one they tried to push last time. I still advise against it. The older the sec patch the greater a chance we have of getting in.

Yes just use the back button when it pops up. It will not install them on it's own.

It will remove the ask me later button after a certain amount of days. Do not use the reboot function, just shut down and boot up.

I bought the device from ebay. Not looking to bypass Google or anything, just comes up with activation page, but cannot use it on wifi. Asks me to activate it continuously and just want to be able to use on wifi. No sim card in the device but still asks for activation. Wifi will not work as it says device restricted and "data services are unavailable - activate for full access." I was able to use the phone for days, installed apps and then after a carrier update, it locked itself down. Not even able to browse with Chrome without it coming up to an activation screen.

Root Coolpad legacy C3705A

I don't have a computer and I need an app that will allow me to root my phone without a computer
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scientwisted:
So if anyone wants to get to the recovery menu, you'll need to do this

Shut off the phone.

Hold power and Vol Up until you see RECOVERY.

An Android icon will pop up that says "NO COMMAND", DON'T LEAVE HERE

Quickly press and hold Power then tap Vol Up and release both

This will get you into the Main recovery menu, there you can get to the usual options. I have also found out that the FASTBOOT command in adb does absolutely nothing and I am to believe the command has been superseded by something else.

EDIT: Also, to get to FASTBOOT you need to select "Reboot into Bootloader". from there a message with ask to download a package.

Hit VOL UP FOR YES, as that is what will net you FASTBOOT.

My phone is facing heavy NAND corruption, causing frequent system, app and kernel crashes, and could completely die at any moment. Due to this, I will be moving to either the Redmi Note 8 Pro forums or the OnePlus 7 Pro forums. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to make any decent headway in rooting this device, but's those are the perils of having one of the latest versions of android with minimal known Exploits that could lead to a root shell or any type of useful privilege escalation honestly.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emmykei:
Sorry to resurrect a stale thread but I've been banging my head against this all weekend.

Almost exactly a year ago I bought an "unlocked" Coolpad Legacy S 3648A off eBay and a Gamesir to make what was basically a jank SteamDeck before Valve announced such a thing. It worked perfectly at first, but a day after updating it, it kept prompting me to activate it on Boost Mobile and wouldn't let me access my home wifi network (as rkhopper noted). I stashed it away and now I'm giving it another go, hoping that rooting it would help solve the problem.

While on the Ubuntu side of my desktop, I tried following this article (GetDroidTips), but much like Sapphiress said, it wouldn't respond to anything from fastboot. I thought this might be a problem with my Ubuntu side lacking the USB drivers specific to this phone model, but the only drivers I could find were for Windows.

I switched to my Windows partition and tried installing all the components + the drivers again, but it was still no go. I found a guy who had made a Coolpad Toolkit, and while it didn't explicitly support my device, it clearly had the drivers and I hoped the 'generic Android device' option would work. Alas, it got as far as fastboot before the toolkit told me that my USB cable was "incorrect" (ie. not a data cable, even though I know mine is) and politely told me there was no way left for it to help me.

In the meantime I've factory reset it and immediately turned off any options for it to try connecting to a wireless network. Hopefully it won't update itself while I'm not looking and start the annoying activation pinging again. Not sure what to do at this point aside from just selling this to someone who has Boost mobile and getting a different phone. It's a bummer because otherwise this looks and works great for what I need.
