source code

Hi guys!

I think I found the source code/bootloader for the PVG100. After a whole lot of digging, I now have this .zip from the founder himself, and it is for the original 2018 firmware, not with any of the updates. I'll attach the link below.

I am definitely a novice tinkerer, not a developer. I don't have any of the skills or tools to make a custom ROM, though I very much want one to remove the bloatware and enable hotspot tethering etc. Stormskeeker, could you please post whatever you have managed to find so far, or explain how you have been able to tweak it?

I also have a couple of these that are inoperable for various reasons that I have thoroughly dissected. So if anyone needs to buy any of my spare parts, or wants to just know more about the Palm's guts, then hit me up!

This is SUCH a rad little phone. Biggest complaint by far is battery life, and I would LOVE if someone help me figure out how to power this phone with a bigger battery. I found a Oneplus battery has the same connector, but it won't work when I connect it (unless it's plugged in to a wall adapter)... does this have something to do with the firmware not accepting a different battery? Does Anyone know how I can get around this??

greatjack1 for pointing out that Palm PVG100 (Pepito) kernel version can be associated with vulnerability cve2019-2215 and for starting a new thread with a walkthrough for the rooting process (https://xdaforums.com/android/help/palm-phone-pvg-100-temp-root-guide-t3992043)

Now, guys, what are the next steps? (besides waiting for responses to my email message to "rodrigo", from Palm company)

Can we compile a TWRP version now that we have temporary root privileges, maybe following the following guide?

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32965365#post32965365

Is there a way to backtrack what application might be preventing us from unlocking the bootloader?

Maybe Verizon did something like this:

https://www.xda-developers.com/unlock-bootloader-verizon-google-pixel-xl/

Maybe the Verizon app preventing bootloader unlock (if this is what they did) is the same app that pops up a notification saying that the SIM card is not from Verizon, when you boot the phone with a different SIM card...is there a way to catch which app is responsible for that notification?

Permanent root suggestion

Hi, guys, after this great achievement, permanent root might be desirable.

I'll tell you a story...I've always loved qwerty phones and one of the rare phones I've always wanted is NEC Terrain (distributed by AT&T). Unfortunately AT&T has locked it to its network and I found no working solution for unlocking it for other SIM cards (please let me know if you know of a working SIM unlock service!), BUT I've always wanted to gain permanent root privileges for this device. The story of NEC Terrain is very similar to Palm Phone PVG100 (Pepito):

NEC Terrain was released by AT&T and the bootloader locked, while Palm Phone PVG100 (Pepito) was released by Verizon and the bootloader locked...

NEC company is not on the market anymore and Palm company is in a similar condition, which makes contacts with the company difficult and the hope of updates to be released unlikely...

Code for NEC Terrain was developed by enthusiasts (https://github.com/android-rooting-tools/android_run_root_shell) similar to arpruss code for Palm Phone PVG100 (Pepito) (https://github.com/arpruss/cve2019-2215-3.18)...

Temporary root solution for NEC Terrain was achieved (https://github.com/x29a/nec_terrain_root) like root solution for Palm Phone PVG100 (Pepito) was achieved (https://github.com/arpruss/cve2019-2215-3.18/tree/master/release)...

For NEC Terrain a creative permanent root solution was developed by x29a (https://github.com/x29a/nec_terrain_root/blob/master/terroot/README.md) and now my suggestion is that we might want to follow his steps for Palm Phone PVG100 (Pepito)!

Here are the details of "HOW ALEX-KAS DID IT"!:

Why is there three threads about this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StormSeeker1:
People started them independently and each one is on a specific thing, but all things are connected (there are interconnections and it's not always clear if rooting helps unlocking bootloader or if unlocking bootloader helps permanently rooting or if for compiling custom recoveries (TWRP) one needs root or bootloader unlocking), so these threads have a reason to exist and there are overlaps, but feel free to let people know if you want to merge something!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardbodyrichert:
Hey Snoop--

I see that you've messed around with the telephony files while debloating. I have removed most of those files as well. However, I recently wanted to switch carriers (from Verizon to Visible), and it looks like PVG100 doesn't let you edit APN settings (no matter what SIM cards you try with). I really need to add an APN address to get the new SIM to work. Do you know of any way to do this with what's available to us currently, and since last I checked we haven't gotten into the bootloader yet?

And while we're at it, have you been able to enable wifi hotspot? Or is the tethering provisioning a file we might just be able to pull out in adb?

Cheers!

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 AM ----------

The EU version (Vodaphone) of the firmware has an unlockable bootloader. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a full firmware image? I have a bricked palm that I'm going to try to flash with the NON-Verizon version of the ROM, so that I can then try to access the bootloader from there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoopy20:
Hi,

I haven't been able to play as the so called root exploit appears to open a shell but root is still restricted for remounting the partitions.

Wifi tethering is a no go at the moment. You can use USB tethering fine but must remember to disconnect the phone if the power source sleeps with it enabled or battery plummets. I imagine they hid the feature rather than fix this bug.

Palm say a new product they're working on has wifi tethering enabled.

recompile the kernel for special modules

I can't make a new thread yet, because of lack of karma, but I'm wondering if anyone here has tried to compile at least kernel modules?

I got the palm kernel source code from sourceforge.net/projects/palmopensource/files/PVG100/PVG100_OpenSource_SourceCode_20181016.tar.xz/download and I see a lot of files in there, but not a full kernel tree if only due to the missing Kconfig files.

I'm familiar with kernel compilation and cross compiling, but not so much with android

I googled msm-3.18 and found github.com/android-linux-stable/msm-3.18 so I suppose I should add palm files on top of that but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

My goal is to compile modules like NBD-driver sites.google.com/site/devwom/usb-sharer/nbd-driver which only require adding an extra option during the menuconfig and cross compiling.

Hi guys,

hopefully you can help me or link me to a thread with some help.

After 5 years my g2 broke down last week. I had the official Android 4.4.2 and have never flashed anything. Don't know if it has anything to do with it but i didn't have any free storage left of my 16gb (european version, so i gueass D802). The days and weeks before it warned me that i used all the storage and some apps won't work properly ( I didn't care because I ran without problems for month)

My phone broke down and now I am stuck in the boot loop. When I disconnect the battery on the back and then connect it again and plug it in my laptop the LG Logo will appear and the phone will charge. No Problem there, I still have battery left. When I try to turn it on the LG Logo will appear and then the display turns black, you know how this goes.

I can not enter the recovery mode nor the download mode. My Laptop wont recognize my phone on the device manager or somewhere else. What my laptop does, is that the typical windows sound comes when I plug the G2 in and then after some seconds the sound comes again when the phone turns black.

Then I got a error message:

Kernel Crash! DemiGod Crash Handler : Kernel Crash!

From there I did not reboot successfully. How can I get a Kernel Crash with the normal Android Software? weird.

All I care about are my pictures left on the phone. I was dumb enough to not make a backup. Do you know a way to save my pictures? Can I somehow exchange the storage chip?

Please help me.

On the site it tells you that you can only register HTC branded phones i.e. not T-Moby, Organe, etc ones.

Anyway O2 requires the device to be network locked to them to recover or flash firmware. If it isnt then it won't allow any flashing.

Virgin piggyback on EE network and maybe have the same set up. I don't know for sure as I've never used virgin.

To get round the problem you can remove the hidden.img file from the firmware prior to flashing then flash it on it's own afterwards.

You can't downgrade from Q Beta to Stable via OTA. You will need some sort of factory image (in .nb0 format) to restore the Pie stable firmware via Nokia Online Service Tool.

If you're not rooted I don't think you can do it. Only way I see you being able to do it is to download the July OTA and flash it in TWRP (custom recovery). Bit if you're not rooted then you obviously don't have a custom recovery.

Maybe flash it via fastboot but you would need an unlocked bootloader for that which I'm assuming you don't?
