Very easy: simple freeze "OTA Update Service" (Vision_otaAppInstall.apk) and "System updates" (Vision_OtaClient.apk) by for example Link2SD

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

I guess the firmware L1657.6.09.00 is no more available via OTA. By Ota you can only istall last one (L1657.6.11.01.00). You could istall it by OTA but I think you should first restore the stock firmware and then you can install the last one. Be carefull because for the last firmware there are no patch available at the moment to root it and to install Google Play. I will not upgrade until it will be available a patch for the last firmware. Good luck!

Hi, My A5 now is 6.10.04 and rooted, how to update to 6.11.01 safely?
[Android General] noigmn:
Thanks [MENTION=7657653]cicabum[/MENTION]!

Did anyone find a way to fix permissions for Google Play Services? e.g. The permissions error that comes up in Messages, Google Pay, etc?

At first I thought it is to do with magisk, but I wondered if it is it because the underlying systems such as calendar and SMS are being run by vision?
[Android General] cicabum:
No. I get the same errors, but it's not a problem for me, because I don't use Google Pay and Google Messages or Google Calendar with this phone. I use only the stock apps for sms and calendar. I don't use my main google account with this smartphone.

Ordered this phone from CECT-SHOP recently, bricked it after following some guide to root it via the Qualcomm thing - it would show the Hisense logo then restart in a non-stop loop. Was quite sad to see a phone I just bought not work. I am able to read Chinese, but wasn't able to find the stock rom for a while until I found the Google Drive link in this thread: drive.google.com/u/0/uc?export=download&confirm=NEfE&id=1JBzsFrtGtIXLYTPTMA2cc9spp_dxF_WX

What worked was extracting the contents of the downloaded zip into the root of a SD card, so that you see F:\HLTE202N_TF (if F:\ is your SD card), holding vol up AND vol down AND power, feeling the vibration, then letting go. This took like 2 seconds. Then my screen flashed a few times and went straight into the "TF upgrade mode". This upgrade took maybe a few minutes tops.
[Android General] stover0208:
I bought the phone from China recently, it was international version that come with firmware 06.10.04.00. When I finished flushing root files with QFIL, I accidently pull the usb cable, not sure if this caused my phone bricked :( And now the situation is like what [MENTION=6859038]tuxrouge[/MENTION] mentioned in previous post (bootloop)

I was able to enter recovery mode, and saw 3 options, copy from [MENTION=6820942]CrotteDeChien[/MENTION] previous post

When I enter "update system" it says name your package into update.zip. So I rename the stock Rom 6.09.06.00 that downloaded from the googledrive. No it didn't work.

So I tried unzip it and put it under SD card root with HLTE202N_TF folder name contains 2 files then into recovery mode again, bad luck, it said failure, couldn't find the documents.

I use 64GB TF card, someone mentioned 8 or 16GB is better, is it the reason that I can't unbrick it?(I don't have 8 or 16GB TF card at this moment)

Any advice that can solve this? I only use this phone for reading ebooks and long articles on Internet. (need some apps from Google Play store)

The E-ink screen is the main reason I bought it. Hate to see it wasted if I can't unbrick it.

My Hisense OS is 06.10.04.00, rooted. It was working fine for the last 5 months. But now i am having a peculiar problem. Every night at 11 pm phone gets freezed. I can only turn on/off the phone. Instant reboot doesn't fix it. Only after keeping it off for whole night makes the phone okay agian. I have tried to fix the issue by uninstalling suspicious apps, installing antivirus. But nothing works. Anyone having similar experience?
[Android General] Mehedi34:
Found the cause of my problem. Bedtime schedule was on(i turned it on and forgot it's effect) from 11 pm to 7 am, which made the screen non-responsive.
[Android General] Geisons:
Hi, thanks for the link. Can this only be used with the TF-mode? I can only get into fastboot, can I flash this with fastboot?

thanks!
[Android General] notworking:
Many thanks, it could be useful to me :crying:

I have a HLTE202N with L1657.6.09.00.Is and I may try to switch it to a more western Android stack.

Do you think I can revert to the 6.09.06 firmware you shared, in case I need (mine is 6.09.00.Is for now) ?

Experiences rooting HiSense A5 with GApps

Succeed, thanks !

I followed chinahandys instructions, which are mainly made from pieces found here.

I first used the 6.09.06 image posted here (thanks !) on a 32Gb SD to rollback to that firmware. Then OTA (wifi) updated to 6.10.04 (manual update, automatic ones disabled, not to reach 6.11.01 that appears then).

I uninstalled nearly all chinese apps that had that option, no problem (despite posts read here).
[Android General] plcanonica:
I've got my A5 rooted with your software, thank you. I'm on the 06.10.04.00 system version. My Magisk manager tells me an update is available: installed version: 8.0.3 and the latest is 8.0.4. Is it ok to update or will it break my phone?
[Android General] KhannesOL:
I bought a hisense a5 this autmn from cect-shop with gapps. I somehow managed to brick it, but eventually I restored it and installed gapps. Now I've noticed that I dont get all text messages and I also get an error that says google play service need access to SMS.

I've been thinking and looking around but can't find a solution. Do I need to use ADB? I'm a bit of a noob but I am literate and can follow instructions.
[Android General] plcanonica:
I had the same, so got the "Permissions Ruler (Donate)" app, and gave Google Play Services all permissions. Now it works fine.
[Android General] KhannesOL:
Thanks, yea i found another app eventually that did the same thing. Did this solve the issue with lost sms for you?
[Android General] plcanonica:
I think so; I'm not aware of having lost any further messages and no other app has crashed telling me Google Play Services needed further permissions.
[Android General] hammelgammler:
Hello joygram,

Would it be possible to get root & gapps ready for the new 06.11.01.00 firmware? Someone at reddit said that the refresh algorithm got changed so that text has better quality in the speed setting, which would be really nice if true.

Thanks a lot.
[Android General] cicabum:
How can I do the same? Can you explain please the steps?
[Android General] plcanonica:
I used the "Permission Ruler (Donate)" app. In the app, under "Settings", I switched on "Manage System Apps". Then under the list of Apps I found each of the apps that was giving me an error telling me "Google Play Services needs..." and gave those apps the permissions they needed.
[Android General] cicabum:
It works! Thank you! :)

Could someone explain the use of Qfil in complete sentences?

Here are the instructions. Could you just tell me specifically what this means?

In Qfil

* flush ROOT files with QFIL : QFIL_6.09.06

-> Select Build Type : Flat Build

-Y Select Programmer : select

prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr_000bf0e1.mbn

->LoadXML:

rawprogram_000bf0e1_joygram

-> Download

when complete please reboot the device.

I must be doing something wrong because no matter what path I choose in "Select Programmer" Qfil says it cannot find the emmc file.

Is it located in the A5-customizer-R04.7z ? (The A5 info thread says it's in "Rootkit R03"?) Or in the 6.09.06 firmware? Youtube videos and forums sort of just skim over where they are getting the emmc file.

Also, should loadXML really say "rawprogram_000bf0e1_joygram" ? or should it also be the path to "A5-customizer-R04.7z"?

I have rooted phones before but have never used Qfil. I can do everything else up to this point, but I'm sort of stuck because prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr_000bf0e1.mbn is nowhere to be found.

Sorry if my questions are stupid. I appreciate any help that you can give.
[Android General] samplebird:
I had TWO succesfully rooted A5s, one 06.10.04 and 6.09.06.

I accidentally updated Magisk on BOTH and BOTH are bricked. I could use your help retrieving notes from the 06.09.06 device.

On 6.09.06 I can:

Inconsisently get into fastboot mode.

The key-combination seems to work only randomly.

Is there any way to fix it and retrieve the lost data?

On 06.10.04:

I successfully got into TF mode, and had original 6.09.06 image on the tf card, and now says it was unsuccessful and has to start again, but of course it does not work, percentage goes up and then it stops and shows message.

Do I need to put the 06.10.04 image on the TF card instead? Does anybody have a link to this?

Why is it so difficult to do the side buttons to get into any of the special boot modes??????

[Android General] CrotteDeChien:
You need to have an SD card in the phone. On the SD card you need to have the HLTE202N_TF directory with the firmware in it. You should be able to re-flash the firmware from there.

For me with my Hisense A5. I think I have really bricked it. As in, I do have the SD card in it with the HLTE202N_TF directory. I used to be able to re-flash. It was when I used Magisk to try to put a new bootloader in, that I bricked the phone. Now, even though I do the VolUp and VolDown (at the same time) as well as press the Power Button. Nothing happens.

If you are getting the Chinese bootloader promts, then you should be able to re-flash from the original firmware.
[Android General] furla:
After many attempts I tried to follow this Joygram's guide ( https://xdaforums.com/t/hisense-a5-how-to-enter-hardware-edl-mode.4103929/ ) and I managed to unlock the bootloader loop: thank you @joygram !!!
[Android General] uberlaggydarwin:
Has anybody managed to get the source out of Hisense? I’m considering coming out of retirement to do a bringup of newer AOSP. I could probably split up the differences with IDA and implement it in a FOSS based CAF kernel, but it would likely be pretty annoying.

Thanks for your woking! I'm rooted now. But when I flash the gapps magisk module, it told me that need magisk 20.0+.

I have to reflash all the partitions with qfil method.

I need to recreate the partition scheme too because all my partitions are deleted. If someone has the rawprogram.

Thanks

Edit: I've succefully flash firmware 6.03 (seems to be international) then flash boot/recovery/vbmeta from original firmware (post to unbrick phone). My phone now can exit edl mode but nothing appen on the screen. I can't enter TF mode.

Pressing the touch make it vibrate but I don't know what happen.

Pressing the 3 touch to enter TF mode make the phone vibrate and the light of the screen power up one second.

What can i do to update my firmware? or add google play store? Thanks.
[Android General] opivy2242:
furla, I had the same prob as you and was getting ready to crack open my phone, but then I realized that the TF process deletes the TF files so when you go back to try and do it again you need to format sd card and reupload the TF files. After doing this is restored like normal. I think your TF upload was working fine you just had to reformat and recopy the TF image to sd card.
[Android General] Quark Thonos:
Thanks for help, however I did that and worked (replacement of tf files) but there was a problem with flashing : the phone wasn't able to flash these files as "firmware update" mode in recovery mode saying that it's an unknown packet... (the firmware was the last version and the phone got an older firmware).

Hi all,

I just bought from China a Hisense A5 with the option OEM Unlock. So I unlocked the bootloader and read the whole thread. I am wondering if I can follow the general root guide through Magisk, ie. this guide.

Has anyone done that? I mean we have the tools QFIL or QPST. We can pull out boot.img and let Magisk to patch it. Then flash the patched boot.img through fastboot. Please let me know if this path is practical. Any comments would be appreciated.

Another thing is that I read that someone tried to update Magisk directly and got A5 bricked. But I couldn't figure out how did that happen? Is it a soft brick that you can solve it through TF Flash?

Thank you guys. Enjoying my new Hisense A5.
[Android General] Bassiehetkoekje:
I've tried multiple times to follow the steps outlined in the OP, as well as following https://www.chinahandys.net/hisense-a5-playstore-guide-english/ (based on this thread). I get into bootloop after flashing with Magisk every time (I can see that the flashing doesn't succeed to the end). I think it has to do with the Magisk update...

Is it still possible to get Gapps? Anyone having the same problem as me? I'm kind of a noob at this.

Wavelet

Headphone specific equalization
​

Introduction

Wavelet may be the most powerful equalizer for Android to date that doesn't require root or an unlocked bootloader. It is capable of processing audio system wide and supports optimal equalization settings for over 3300 headphones. That's way more headphones to choose from than the Sonarworks and Dirac android apps combined have to offer.

Supporting this many headphones has been made possible by Jaakko for letting me use his awesome AutoEq project.

Features

The app features a minimal UI with plenty of options for customization:

You can use AutoEq to equalize your headphones to the Harman standard. The graph visualizes the compensation applied.

There's a 9 band graphical equalizer you can use fine tune the result or set up when your headphones don't appear to be available in the database.

The effects section offers effects such as bass boost, virtualization and reverberation. There's a bass tuner option too to give your beats that little extra thump, or reduce bass if you're not a basshead.

At the bottom you can find the gain controls. There's a limiter allowing you to reduce dynamic range and a channel balance feature for when you find one channel playing too loud or if you just want to reduce the overall output volume.

Installation

Wavelet can be downloaded here from Google Play.

Features displayed vary on the mode you're using and what output device is connected.

I strongly recommend checking out the README and read up on legacy mode to help you get the best experience

EDIT: Now it is!
[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
First impressions - awesome work! Nice UI and my headphones were recognized. I could only get legacy mode working but the graphical EQ is nice to have if the headphone correction isn't quite tuned for your ears. I think this is going to be a popular audio mod/app...looking forward to further development. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] MishaalRahman:
Can you explain how this app is able to apply EQ effects without having root access or being a system app? What kind of APIs are you using? Thanks!

edit: actually, would love if we could chat more about this project. Giving this a shot right now with my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and it seems pretty nice. Feel free to email me at mishaal@xda-developers.com
[Android Apps and Games] pittvandewitt:
Thank you! I put a lot of thought in the design.

Legacy/regular mode is the best solution I could come up with to cope with the finicky audio sessions design Android has implemented. If it works or not depends on the music player you use and if your device manufacturer allows processing the global audio session or not. Sometimes both modes work and in the worst case nothing might work

The app makes use of standard libraries Android provides. Most of them are available since Android 2.3, but the DynamicsProcessing library is relatively new and allows for much more customizability. It allowed me to build the equalization and gain control features.

Default mode listens for audio sessions started by music players and applies these effects to them. Legacy mode applies them system-wide (session 0), but this may not work on all devices.
[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
There is no mention of pro features.. according to the OP, the features available depend on device capabilities.
[Android Apps and Games] midnitefreakin:
Here it is by what he means of pro features

It is asking to pay and unlock remaining features.
[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
Interesting, I haven't seen that in the app myself.
[Android Apps and Games] coilbio:
Bought the app for developer support, awesome job! I was waiting to see when someone would pick up the audio development.

One less reason for root.

The only thing is clipping when adding bast boost. Bass tuning helps but volume clipping still happens.

Still awesome though.
