[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Keystone:
Nelson, there is a few month old utility that can extract an HTC ROM from the device directly to the SDcard. If you have the ROM (*.nbh) of your phone from your carrier then you could use a utility such as DogGuys Kitchen maker to decompile the ROM. What you usually only need is contained in the ..OEM\OPERATORS directory.

If you look at how existing kitchens (and a FAQ on kitchens) are set-up, you'll see that each carrier tends to have its own operators OEM that the end-users selects when building their ROM. Following those templates you can create your own with the files specific to your carrier, and add that to an existing kitchen. Once done, then you can then build your own ROM. Though, with that done, of course the language files for your new OS ROM will be english rather than spanish.

The other possible option is to provide your carrier's OS ROM to the forum here and one of us may have the chance to decompile the necessary files and provide a set-up for you.

...sorry, I'm travelling right now and don't have the chance to go into greater detail or updated links.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Dillsnik:
whoa! I think u went way over his (and my) head with that one...

I don't think he's looking to cook his own rom, he just wants to install one....and wants to know what info he needs to document before so he can reinstall it properly afterwards..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nelsongruebr:
wow thanks Keystone...

although Dillsnik is right... i read the FAQ on kitchens an it doesn´t sound complicated... but i´m not sure if i´m capable of doing this...

however i will be reading more about this kitchens and cooking my own rom because it sounds very interesting that i can put only the programs i want (wich by the way it´s exactly what i´m looking for), so i´ll be witing here soon asking more questions...

by the way, the main propuse of this thread is still open... and the quistion is in the first post:

WHAT DO I HAVE TO BAKCUP FROM THE FILE "EPST" SO I CAN SET IT UP AFTER THE UPGRADE???

thanks for the quick response!!!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kflipproductions:
guys, installing the official Sprint rom before your rom of choice allows your carrier settings to be maintained, so there is no need to back up any of that information. at WORST, you'll have to get your a-key reset, which is a quick call to verizon(or your carrier?). i've only had to do this once, and i've flashed my phone probably 25 times.

install olipro 2.4

run Official Sprint RUU

at 'Tap Here to Set Up Your Device' install your rom of choice

run carrier cab (if its not in the kitchen)

if you try to make a call and receive a 'your phone cannot be authenticated' message, call tech support and dont let them tell you anything, just say 'i had to do a hard reset and now my phone cant authenticate i need a new a-key please.' theyll tell you that its not necessary and will try to do it automatically, then if they cant theyll give you a new a-key and tell you how to apply it.

EDIT: there is no way to view your a-key, which is why you are unable to back it up and why backing up EPST settings is pointless for you.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
Well, I think Keystone is trying to give you a safeguard. You likely have a ROM that nobody else has a copy of here, and I'd suggest you dump a backup copy of it before you do anything to your device, just in case.

We cant give a definite answer to that because we do not know how your carrier operates.

In theory, the actual Sprint update should backup your programming and restore it for you. I do understand you wanting to have a backup plan, but in that case, I would suggest you record everything.

Does anyone know if the H8166 with the Google Android™ O2 O/S can record calls?

[Fire TV Android Development] Sus_i:
Nice guide ;)

Here are a few thoughts from me...

It's important to use the latest kamakiri. The mentioned prerooted 6.2.6.5 is probably a downgrade. A few sticks needs an update of the TZ in order to play prime video. The TZ update is only in the v1.2 Kamakiri or in the 6.2.6.6 prerooted.

Edit: S̵i̵n̵c̵e̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵e̵x̵p̵l̵o̵i̵t̵ ̵c̵a̵n̵'̵t̵ ̵b̵e̵ ̵p̵a̵t̵c̵h̵e̵d̵,̵ ̵i̵t̵'̵s̵ ̵i̵n̵ ̵m̵y̵ ̵o̵p̵i̵n̵i̵o̵n̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵b̵e̵s̵t̵ ̵t̵o̵ ̵d̵o̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵s̵e̵t̵u̵p̵ ̵a̵t̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵b̵e̵g̵i̵n̵n̵i̵n̵g̵,̵ ̵p̵a̵i̵r̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵r̵e̵m̵o̵t̵e̵,̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵n̵ ̵u̵p̵d̵a̵t̵e̵ ̵t̵o̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵l̵a̵t̵e̵s̵t̵ ̵o̵v̵e̵r̵ ̵f̵i̵r̵e̵O̵S̵.̵ ̵T̵h̵a̵t̵ ̵w̵a̵y̵ ̵y̵o̵u̵ ̵a̵v̵o̵i̵d̵ ̵a̵ ̵p̵e̵n̵d̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵u̵p̵d̵a̵t̵e̵ ̵n̵a̵g̵ ̵s̵e̵t̵u̵p̵ ̵s̵c̵r̵e̵e̵n̵ ̵a̵f̵t̵e̵r̵ ̵d̵o̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵e̵x̵p̵l̵o̵i̵t̵.̵ ̵T̵h̵e̵n̵ ̵e̵n̵a̵b̵l̵e̵ ̵A̵D̵B̵ ̵a̵n̵d̵ ̵u̵n̵k̵n̵o̵w̵n̵ ̵s̵o̵u̵r̵c̵e̵s̵.̵ ̵ After kamakiri I would flash only magisk.zip + sideload the manager app with adb... and avoid any prerooted rom flashing until there is an update to a somewhat higher version (and the current 6.2.6.8v1 has that contact manufacturer error screen).

Edit: Update: meanwhile, the fix for the mentioned 'contact manufacturer' error is known...

Take a look here and here.

Edit/Update: Due to efuses (blocking the bootrom access), it isn't recommended to do any update infront of the unlock...
[Fire TV Android Development] nandroidint:
Ops Typo let me edit it, I meant to put 6.2.6.8 on the command lol, and aaaa I see I didn't know the exploit couldn't be patched great info, so than yes I will revise my instructions thank so much :)

UPDATE: I just checked my FS and I'm on 6.2.6.8v1 and didn't receive contact the manufacturer, is it because I sideloaded the manager app after?
[Fire TV Android Development] Sus_i:
No. If I remember correct, it has something to do with flashing, i.e. the vendor partition wasn't flashed propperly.

Maybe you flashed not the prerooted!? With the Kamakiri TWRP version is flashing full ota update packages (renamed to zip) also possible... and in the prerooted thread is such a full 6.2.6.8 ota linked.

Edit: Could be that this error is prime video related, idk. rbox said he looks into it soon...

Just for clarification: The prerooted rom is a perfect thing since years.

My suggestion 'avoid any rom flashing' from my last post is just an attempt to keep it simple for beginners.

By the way, if the stick gets all updates in front of the unlock, it makes no sense to update it after the unlock again (unless addon.d support is needed).

I hope that has become clear ;) I very much appreciate all the prerooted stuff :)

thanx for the tut nandroidint this is exactly what I needed, I wasn't sure how to do the shorting so the video helped out a lot now I'm ready to do this. But I'm sorta a noob when it comes to android so I got few questions tho, 1) what are the main benefits in rooting the fIrestick 4K 2) are there different roms to install? 3) are there root only .apks? 4)also one main thing I would like to be able to do is spoofing the Mac address any idea if that's possible?

5)Oh and lastly what OTB cable do you recommend? sorry for all the questions ?

Hello, after root i got massage on screen

: android system

There is na internal problem with Your device. Contact Your manufacturer for detalis.

And when im trying to register in Amazon it bringing me back to pairing screen, farest i can go it is wifi connection.

Did i brick my Stick?
[Fire TV Android Development] itsyaboy:
Did you deregister before rooting like the tut says? This is why I’ve been hesitant on rooting because of the lack of support on this forum
[Fire TV Android Development] davinci2798:
Yep, it was new Stick, out from box. Not registered at all. I managed massage, but still comminng to pairing screen.

[Fire TV Android Development] itsyaboy:
Hey so have you figured out what was the problem yet? If so could u explain how you managed to fix it? I’m going to root sometime this week and would hate to run into this issue.
[Fire TV Android Development] RPM99:
USB drive for storage

Yes, You can use a USB drive for App loading and Movie storage.

See Troypoint.com for good video.

I suggest a single USB OTG Cable and a USB HUB for your drive.

Then you can add a Keyboard and Mouse which make it MUCH easier to type commands.

Good Luck
[Fire TV Android Development] gogorman:
How might one do this on a Mac?

Thanks
[Fire TV Android Development] itsyaboy:
Do what? The only thing u can do on the MacOS is to create the bootable iso usb, you can follow these steps to do so https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.le...-on-an-apple-mac-os-x-from-an-iso?hs_amp=true

After your create the bootable usb just reboot and hold down option and select the bootable usb, once in open up Firefox and download the kamakiri-mantis-v1 and open a terminal window and change the directory to where u have the kamakiri folder, in terminal type cd then just drop in the kamakiri and hit enter. From there u can just follow the tut, FYI the bootable usb you create is a Linux OS so that’s how you can do it on a Mac, you just can’t do the rooting on MacOS, just clarifying Incase that was your question.
[Fire TV Android Development] chinkster:
Sorry I haven't rooted phones in a while and am trying to root my fire stick 4k. Can we get some pictures tutorial pretty please
[Fire TV Android Development] RPM99:
Step by step instructions would be great?

I would love that too, I have rooted with Unix before but that was on a Drone(Solo).

I understand about creating a bootable USB drive and booting my PC/Mac by changing the bios to boot first off the USB as step 1.

Step 2 is loading software onto the USB while booted under Unix/Linux???

Step 3 How do you then connect to the firestick?

When do you plug the firestick into the tv and when do you short out the jumper??

I know to some of you these sound very basic but it would be helpful for those of us just learning this environment.

Thanks in advance...
[Fire TV Android Development] itsyaboy:
The link he provided explains all that https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/orig-development/unlock-fire-tv-stick-4k-mantis-t3978459 all except for when to connect to the tv, but I assume it’s after running the kamakiri script, btw it’s not software, you just download the kamakiri mantis while in the Linux usb os, open a terminal and change the directory of the terminal to the kamakiri folder in order to run the ./bootrom-step.sh and ./fastboot-step.sh commands

Edit: just follow the main guide from the link above then read this guide after, that’s the best way to understand it.

Perhaps, I'm confusing what I mean by visual voicemail; I recall that ATT had an app that let you screen the voicemails within the app, and it even had a transcription of the text, and that's what I'm looking for.

Why there are no GCAM mods for every Xperia flagship starting from XZ1?! A year ago there's a working GCAM for my Xperia X dual! Someone should request the developers to make mod for XZ1, XZ1C, XZ2, XZ2C, XZ3, XZ2P!

Yeah i know there's no connection to title and the description message!

Simple answer being Sony devices have a small user base compared to others, no point investing time
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sandeepxperia:
For the sake of Sony fans, developers should share their interest in Sony mobiles. Pleaaaaseeeeee ohhh goddd. Please someone make MOD for all of these devices. Please someone care about Sony users. ?????
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] doungmli:
All simply because gcam is ridiculous compared to stock. Much more noise, smoothing of the photo, overesposition, mediocre quality in night photo ... The tests were done with GCAM 5 which is in a discussion on the forum...

In my opinion the reduction of raw noise is incompatible with gcam. The photos taken with gcam have almost the same quality as with open camera.
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sandeepxperia:
Why why but why? Why is it happening to only Sony devices?
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iArvee:
There's already a port for gcam on xperia 1, however it's gcam 5, so no night sight yet.

It'll come eventually (or not). Just a matter of patience. If you want gcam so bad, then get another phone or get a pixel.
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] doungmli:
gcam is not necessarily better it may change for low-end smartphones but in high-end smartphones the results were worse with gcam than the Stock camera. gcam will work like any open camera and will never have the code and therefore the optimizations related to the camera. on the screen of the smartphones it looks good but on a larger screen we directly see the loss of quality with gcam
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] el_sur:
Maybe because these ports are done via the good will and graciousness of the developers, who often do this for free, on their own time? Don't be immature about this. It takes work, and just because your particular phone isn't supported doesn't mean that people aren't trying to get it to work.
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sandeepxperia:
I haven't asked it particularly for my mobile. The thing is i haven't asked at all for my mobile. I just said there are no GCAM mods at all for at least a single Sony flagship. I never demanded i am saying that just request the developers!
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] snake218:
Can't force any developer to support an specific device. Like some people already mention, there isn't really an improvement using gcam over the stock camera (maybe there is certain circumstances that get better results, but nothing really special). Xperia 1 camera already is great. I haven't tested much the gcam version already available, will try today some night scenes

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

There are gcam version for that phones (just yesterday tested the XZ1 version) BUT gcam only supports AOSP custom roms, and nothing stock based. With the Xperia 1 onwards, there is API 2 support, and gcam works in stock.

XZ1 GCam take worse photos than stock
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sandeepxperia:
Wow. Ok thanks for the info. Everyone says mobiles need API 2 support and i agree but i feel every Sony flagship supports that API 2 thing. I am saying this because i used a GCAM mod for my old Xperia X dual stock OS that actually worked. But the MOD doesn't had the Night Sight feature as it's an old version. i luckily somewhere found that MOD. It's a long time ago and there after i tried many GCAM versions and none of them worked. They just not opened even for a second.
[Sony Xperia 1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iArvee:
Older gcam versions work. Even on XZP stock, gcam 4(?) was working. For the Xperia 1/5 we have Gcam 5 working. Either wait, donate to the dev to help support them, or create your own port.
