[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] GodEmperror:
Hello!

I am new to this forum and also completely new to phone modding etc.

I will shortly explain what situation I am in so maybe someone can enlighten me a little so I know what to do.

A year ago I bought a phone on polish trading site called Allegro.pl, for months it worked without issues, it was a brand new phone.

A few weeks ago a message popped on screen telling me the phone is now locked due to failure in monthly payments. (Previous owner).

I tried all ways of contacting the seller but to no avail. His phone number is off, he does not answer e-mails.

I decided to just ditch the phone and use some old backup phone I had saved. The problem however is that the old phone died and right now I can't afford buying a new one.

Getting this phone into a working condition (without any lock) is my only option so here are the things I have done so far:

I have flashed the latest Android 10 Firmware but right after the initial set up is done (after recovery) the phone locks.

There is no window with the information anymore however, but I can't use any of phone's options or apps in anyway.

I have found a way to bypass that for a brief moment and managed to turn OEM lock off and Enable USB debugging.

(When phone asks for Wi-Fi network I used my old SIM card and told the phone to connect using SIM's connection and right after the initial setup is done I quickly unplugged the SIM so the phone has no connection to internet anymore and the lock didn't start right away. It took me a while to figure it out, been sitting in front of my PC up until 5 am last night.)

If I install TWRP and a custom rom will it bypass the lock on the phone and will I be able to use it normally again?

Will I have to change the firmware somehow, or what exactly will I have to do to make use of the phone again?

IMEI's appear to not be locked as of now.

Any help, information, advice on this subject will be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys,

I have a sunmi v2 android PDA, and i want to remove blocked OS.

I can't find bootloader, or i dont know how to enter on it, also i want to install a recovery mode to flash a new ROM.

Someone can help me please with this problem?

Thank You.
[SuperSU] kaz1233:
Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find a way to do it?

Can you tell me please?

Thank you
[SuperSU] Locodgets!:
I have V.1.. Firstly, are you guys able to allow installation of apps from "Unknown Sources"?
[SuperSU] Jack_the_Stripper:
Just wondering if you ever managed to load android onto the V2 and remove the Sunmi OS? I have managed to enable dev mode and allow untrusted sources but on installing google play services and store all I get is crash reports and have to factory reset.

Thanks

[SuperSU] wesleybr90:
Can you tell me what you did to install apps from untrusted sources? and what progress have you managed to make?
[SuperSU] Jack_the_Stripper:
To enable untrusted sources I had dev mode on but under security > device admin > unknown sources. I don't know if you need to enable dev mode to turn that on but if so go to about > build number > tap until it enables. I'm not really a software guy and was hoping someone on the internet would have a solution to rooting the device and maybe ADB it, I did ask a software engineer friend of mine and he did some research on them, these things talk to Sunmi's servers on boot with the current FW so they are heavily locked down, so progress wise for me is it's been in a drawer since January and I'm hoping someone will have a way to root the thing :S
[SuperSU] Noob Sailbot:
So I have no idea about Android things but I bought secondhand Sunmi V2 that is locked on Glovo aplication.

For the last week I managed to do some research about that:

1. The thing runs custom OS with some kind of recovery-from-boot.p thing that prevents most of modifications, cause after reboot it reverts some system things.

2. I tried to use SP flash tool to do full backup, made mine scatter file and thing I have no idea about

3. Managed to download TWRP recovery to device recovery partition with use of SP flash tool, this did not do anything and the thing booted to Phoenix recovery as normal....

4. With the help of WWR 2.51 I managed to install applications on it...

5. Installed Kingroot, didnt do anything, installed, APKPure, works nice, Magisk, dont know how to root...

6. Tried installing google play, it says it is installed, cant uninstall it nor open it...

7. Can't and don't know how to enter fastboot...

8. I am afraid to flash complete ROM from some other same chipset device...

9. After powering up, Sunmi connects to its own server and does some kind of evil magic to preinstall software and settings.

10. I contacted Sunmi, they kinda don't want to help, cause I will resell device after unblocking it.

11. Fount "that guy" from youtube that does unlocking it, on the minus side he wants money for unlock... and from his videos he flashes complete EMMC_USER bin to device to unlock google play.

Do anyone know which steps can I take further to try to unlock it by myself?

I have some spare time at work to do this kind of playing around. :D

Update:

I managed to extract system.img from device and I am able to browse files on it, the plan is to see can i change some files and setting in it and reflash it back to device. This is all overwhelming to me as I have no experience in android development.
[SuperSU] Droidbotx:
Thank you for the update, Im following this thread to see how this goes. Im trying to unlock my Sunmi V1 too
[SuperSU] Noob Sailbot:
I managed to brick it, stuck at boot looping... Somehow I redownload boot and system from my backup with SP flash tool and got it working back again...

So I tried using ASSAYED Kitchen and remove some Bloatware, rebuild it, and upload it back to device, used two files: System.img and boot.img... This bricked my device.

What am I doing wrong? This must surely be my error. Do I need to do something to recovery partition?

UPDATE:

Managed to install custom recovery TWRP, made it myself using Carliv Image Kitchen :)

UPDATE 2:

Even thou TWRP seems working, It does not mount any partitions: /data, /system... Invalid argument...

Does anyone know how to fix it easy way? because I cant find too similar custom TWRP to Sunmi...

Any custom system.img that I flash with SP tool does not want to boot, never, and even if I only open ASSAYED Kitchen, do nothing and repack it. Is the only way to install it with TWRP?
[SuperSU] Noob Sailbot:
BIG UPDATE:

I have done 99% of the job!

I could write full from zero to hero tutorial for this, but basically I used TWRP to recover /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml and edit it as I pleased and unlock google play.
[SuperSU] tantbb2027:
I am also looking forward to the results you have done

So amazing!!
[SuperSU] Noob Sailbot:
I am slowly loosing interest in this. Whatever I do it is just endless loop...

When I modify package-restrictions.xml and settings_secure.xml files I got GooglePlay and Maps and stuff, but first time you connect the device to internet, SunmiBaseService overwrites them with options used for this DeviceID.

I renamed this SunmiBaseService to something else, got this working, but then since the whole thing runs on this sunmi backbone you can't install any apk's. I can normally install apks using USB and enabled BaseService.

It would be best if I could have just normal Android on this thing since it is unusable if you block BaseService, and if you would do any system upgrade on some point in time it would overwrite and install this service by itself. Like I said, it is endless loop. Even after contacting sunmi my region cant't have this for private use.

I can provide all files used in this process, my scatter files, my TWRP recovery and else...

The question is is it possible to port clean Android to this device, like we install new windows on a PC?
[SuperSU] Velcis Ribeiro:
Hello guys, any news for Sunmi? I got one, but i wan't to remove the OS, or enable Play on it.
[SuperSU] Noob Sailbot:
No, I tried everything I know. Only thing that I did not do is replacing sunmibase service with some kind of android base service or paying some youtube guy 20$ for unlocking, but I doubt it would work correctly. Couse after you, in some point in time, update software or something I highly doubt it would work after that.
[SuperSU] Noob Sailbot:
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}

I am going to upload files that I have, but I need few days to do so.
[SuperSU] Noob Sailbot:
So here are the files:

Original image downloaded from device:

https://mega.nz/file/G6R0mJ4K#rWNDGzWyerP68Pp0o9KCKj92wx_yzLgoJ98vccPgXaQ

Modded boot.img and recovery.img with TWRP (only thing that I did not configure in TWRP is vendor partition, but most things work:

https://mega.nz/file/WvgECC5a#WiIWe00gsc-TcjvwMgfX6sQc9B5zElvuu34hbUVOR0E

Scatter File:

https://mega.nz/file/7npzTSLJ#pfK7G4aB5EDKuY17UrJdNrcwzeiVt3dJnegKqUIJRkc

All other files that I have are some moded that I have tried to get it to work but did not have luck in making it usable, if any more files some of you want I can also upload them but this is part that work.
[SuperSU] chentio17:
Can you share the files again please, the links don't work anymore. Thank you
[SuperSU] daweeze02:
My buddy has toast loaded on an old device and was looking to replace the os so his kid can use the tablet. Sunmi t2
[SuperSU] llambkin:
I am after these files also if you still have them
[SuperSU] samuelgiovanni:
Would it be possible for you to re-upload the files?
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
Well I guess I have an update for all you guys:

I managed to extract the full firmware off this bad boy, it took me a while to figure out how but I did. Not only did I do that I even managed how to get to fastboot too
[SuperSU] dushyant30suthar:
Any instructions?
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
Yeah it's all in my GitHub : https://github.com/dafish7/Sunmi-v2-Firmware-
[SuperSU] alexmspt:
Hi,

I flash using your files but the serial number of my pda v2 change to other, maybe your serial number.

Is possible change to my serial number?

Thanks.
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
Yeah most likely, since it's rooted (as long as you install magisk after turning it on and applying the magisk update that it needs) it'll be in the files somewhere. Is it crucial for the serial number to be the same it was?
[SuperSU] alexmspt:
Hi, thanks for fast reply.

Yes I need the previous serial number, because the PDA is connected to my sunmi account.

The thing was the device bootlooped and I flash with your files and install magisk and solves the bootloop problem, but when I check the serial number was other.

If you know how to change the serial number, I will appreciate mate.

Thanks.
[SuperSU] Riz2022:
I am in a similar situation. I've a couple of new Sunmi v2 devices which are Deliveroo branded and assumed I would be able to use them. My team in Asia has managed to do it quite easily on a food panda device which is a Sunmi v2 pro. However, the same process isn't working on my device. @Dafish73113 Any chance you can jump on a quick call to run me through the process?
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
Yeah I'm working on a workaround ATM, but it's gonna require you to remember what the previous sn was
[SuperSU] alexmspt:
Yes I have the previous serial number.

Thank you!
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
What errors are popping up on SP flash tool?

Is the device sunmi v2 or v2 pro? Because this is only the v2 firmware, v2 pro has different hardware therefore the firmware won't match.
[SuperSU] Riz2022:
Mine is just a Sunmi V2, I assume it's the same device as what you're using in Asutralia (I am in the UK).

No errors are popping up, I just need some guidance on who I should take the device to. or if it's something I can do myself.

I guess someone who understands the instructions you've laid out and works with Android devices would be a good start? :D
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
Oh it's definitely something you can do by yourself, if you're on windows, download the windows version of SP flash tool, (or Linux, the Linux version) and you'll be presented with something like this

Just make sure that the download agent is the mt6739-DA.bin, the scatter loader file is the mt6739_android_scatter.emmc.txt, and the authentication file is auth_sv5.ath.

Make sure that the drop down box under those three says format all+ download, and hit the green download button, plug in the device and wait until a green tick comes up. Turn on the device, install the magisk APK and enjoy
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
Update: I have managed to find the files that contain the serial number, attempting to safely edit without bootlooping. The end is nigh

Also Merry Christmas!
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
GOOD NEWS!!!

I did it. It's a little workaround but it works. Send me your serial number you want on it and I'll get to work editing it and send you the replacement "proinfo" firmware file to reflash. This will not override any data except for the serial number that's defined by the kernal

I really enjoyed this problem, thanks for asking!
[SuperSU] alexmspt:
Hi friend,

Thank you for getting the solution!!

I will send to you via PM.

Merry xmas.

Thanks.

I have connected my Sunmi P2-B P6900 with MTK Client:

Real CPU is MT8765WA, so i did a full dump of all partitions:

Then I did the "unlock bootloader" process:

Now I believe the bootloader is unlocked:

But I couldn't do anything else, does anyone know how to put TWRP or something so I can have root and install my apps on the Sunmi P2?

I have the full dump if it helps, I tried to generate a TWRP image but the MTK Client generates a recovery.bin dump and not recovery.img...

Thanks for all help.
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
Well since you have all of the firmware files for the device all you need to do is modify it and flash the modified files, no unlocking of the bootloader needed. Programs like mtk client and SP FLASH can access the emmc from the bootloader mode. DM me on discord Fishy#2129 and I can walk you through everything you need to do. I can make you a twrp for that device since you have the firmware files, you'll have to send me your recovery.img for that
[SuperSU] Dafish73113:
I also have a method to get to fastboot too if you're interested
[SuperSU] rodrigo286:
I added you on Discord and attach my recovery.img in this post.

recovery.img: https://we.tl/t-9kENWYKMPQ

I also cannot activate the USB DEBUG ( There is no such option even when trying to activate it by clicking 7 times ).

My device is totally locked for mods, have two buttons power and function button, there is no recovery, only this screen, if I try to enter recovery mode:

Thanks.

Hey all, I'm.wonderimg if you managed to reboot the sumni v2.

I have a number of them from deliveroo, I've been told they're locked to deliveroo, I need to unlock and be able to load up another food delivery platforms app.

I wasn aware they be locked to.deliveroo when I bought them, total idiot, I know.

Please please let me know how you got on, anywhere.would be greatly appreciated.
[SuperSU] Sandytiengo:
Salve, sono nuova ho lo stesso problema con un pad di deliveroo da poter utilizzare tranquillamente con il negozio. Ho seguito tutto nei minimi dettagli solo con il problema che il programma sp flash tool non esegue il download alla fine rimane in stanb by quando clicco download e inserisco il cavo usb. Per precisare ho inserito usb debug dal pad su opzioni sviluppatore. Potete aiutarmi 😢

Hi, I'm new, I'm using the sb flash tool app to unlock a Deliveroo pad, but the app freezes upon download and doesn't do anything. I followed all the steps perfectly and entered the USB dbug from the developer options. can you help me?
[SuperSU] lu0ngvu:
Anyone know how to unlock the V1 sumni
[SuperSU] rodrigo286:
I've never done it, but I believe you can do it this way:

Connect device ( VCOM ) with MTK Client, backup all partitions;

Install TWRP on recovery.bin and write into recovery partition;

Reboot into recovery mode;

Wipe DATA and delete all carries apps from userdata from /data/app;

Reboot system and try...

Hello,

I'm wondering if this phone is worth it, and how good is the camera with Gcam? are the 108 mp really a thing or is it pure marketing? Is there any other phone with similar price that is recommended? I'm thinking about get it but im not sure whether this is a good camera or not as i readed many complains.

Yes im referring to Mi 10 with 108MP.

Thank you in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] bigoliver:
It's very good, but a little slow.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] jasonhelene:
Is it still worth it for 400 euro brand new?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] bigoliver:
I paid £379 in March from the official UK store. I'm really happy with it for the price.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] jasonhelene:
Nice, i think i will go for it then, i dont think i can get anything superior by this price range and it looks quite decent!

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] bigoliver:
That was my logic too. Camera was the main feature I wanted.

There's obviously more options out there now, so it might not be as competitive as it was 8 months ago in March.

I wasn't bothered about 5g as I thought it would be at least a year or 2 before 5g benefits my area. Obviously there's been 8 months more of 5g infrastructure so depending where you live, and your needs, a 5g capable phone could be preferable?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] jasonhelene:
I still dont see that much need for 5G in a year at least so that wont be a problem, but the curvy screen is something i was looking to avoid as i dont like it, it is the only downside for me at the moment.

I was also looking into oneplus nord but i really think the camera is inferior, mi 10 and mi note 10 are still the ones im looking into right now, and they got amazing prices this end of the year.
