Alright, so I'm new here. Just came from iqlessmeme's video. I actually have a gabb phone given to me by my parents and I really want to crack it, as they won't let me buy my own. How's it going around here? Any way to enable USB debugging with the new update?
[General Topics] nou1273:
Hi, also new here. I don't believe anyone has found a way to enable dev options with the update, but I will be looking.
[General Topics] LostSky.fearless:
Hey guys. I found some files on the gabb z2 in a folder called "com.gabb.child" Some of the files in this folder were added the same day I updated my phone. Do you think it is possible to delete these files and rollback the update?
[General Topics] skrapss:
im new as well and i found that if you go onto privacy and then permissions management on the phone, then search google, you find that with the software updates it also updates the google play store. someone lmk if anything progresse
[General Topics] skrapss:
im in the exact same situation :/
[General Topics] Nature Grey:
com.gabb.child is the package name for the My Gabb app. I uninstalled the software updaters before the update so I didn't receive the update but I will try to help find another way to get apps. Austin Grange is the one who found the USB debugging and adb so we can try to contact him to see if he can help out. His phone number is somewhere in this forum.
[General Topics] CalebGunner:
Does anyone know how to update the existing installed apks??
[General Topics] Nature Grey:
Maybe installing a software updater might work. There should already be a software updater as a system app already preinstalled.
[General Topics] Howl1346:
Hi! New here, I was wondering if anyone has tried intentionally soft bricking the phone by erasing the OS with something like SP flash? This might let you install a normal stock rom without gabbs software in it.

EDIT: Found a link to the stock rom to the normal model, hope it`s helpful:

https://www.getdroidtips.com/zte-blade-a3-prime-firmware-flash-file/

Sadly not helpful to me, as I have the Z1 which is horribly undocumented as far as pretty much everything
[General Topics] Lukebush0907:
Installing the stock rom worked but now I don't have mobile service and Gabb Sent my parent a email saying that your son messed with phone
[General Topics] Howl1346:
well frick
[General Topics] Howl1346:
I have a copy of the gabb firmware, is it perhaps possible to reprogram it?

(if we could figure out how)

EDIT: Looked into it, and the answer is pretty much no :l
[General Topics] CalebGunner:
Where could I find that?
[General Topics] Ivia_Loveschocolate!:
Hey guys! I'm new here. But, I've been reading through all ur guys posts, and I may be able to help u. I also have a gabb wireless Z2, and I hacked it. However, I installed the software update, and I'm now unable to install apps. The way I did it before, was going to webabd.com. You could force install a APK, and it was way more easy than the whole coding thing. Anyway, every since my first gabb phone I've been searching through all the settings. If you guys would like to look at the system apps, than set a settings widget of app info. It lets u look at evey app in the system. Also, on the privacy settings were you were originally able to get USB debugging, search up every letter. You can find every possible setting and maybe u guys can find what locked autofill. You can still get it, but we have to figure it out!
[General Topics] Lukebush0907:
Hi everyone I used SP flash and install the stock ZTE blade A3 rom Once you do it it will be like a normal phone with Google Play store and other apps but the downside is it says IMEI number is unknown and you will have no service but you can use your phone on Wi-Fi only gabb also sent my parents an email saying that I hacked my phone so if you really want Play store either you have no service or you can only use your phone on Wi-Fi when doing this method
[General Topics] LostSky.fearless:
We should try to find a way to remove the software and keep the service lol
[General Topics] Howl1346:
Is it perhaps possible to use something like metasploit to deliver a meterpreter payload to the phone, perhaps force-installing apps and overriding/removing gabbs software??

IDK if meterpreter has an android payload, but I`ll look into it.

EDIT: looks like it would require installing an infected app on the phone for it to work. :l which brings us back to square one, however reverse tcp might work without installing anything. (unless Im misunderstanding it lol)

Found this on github: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/How-to-use-msfvenom

As well as the software I believe (?):

https://www.infosecmatter.com/metasploit-module-library/?mm=payload/android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

I don`t have much time rn so i can`t really look into these too much, but I WILL come back to this!

EDIT #2: Did some more reasearch on this, and just about all meterpreter payloads are executed through an infected/generated APK file. :( Might be of interest if you already have the phone cracked, but otherwise pretty much useless. Im sorry, all of my ideas suck lol
[General Topics] Ramen L1:
i dont know if this can help but if found these
[General Topics] Ramen L1:
I found all the system apps and stuff but i dont know what it does but if you want to know how to get there heres how
[General Topics] Ivia_Loveschocolate!:
Not sure if that's going to help, but maybe.
[General Topics] nbobito12:
You could use a tool like wireshark to view the requests the phone makes when it is updating, then use a local network MITM attack to mimic the requests of the actual update website, and instead have it download your own version of the os.
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
You can also just search the app in permission manager.
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
I think this tutorial might work.
[General Topics] CohenDraper:
Have you tried yet?
[General Topics] SMcC2:
Thinking of getting one of these for my daughter. Considering you guys can't manage to install anything I want to get it for her even more.
[General Topics] CohenDraper:
Well we DID have it figured out and I have a few apps on it but Gabb recently updated the software and everyone was stupid enough to download it so we're figuring a new way to do it lol
[General Topics] GL513:
I understand this thread might be a bit aged. I was looking into getting a Gabb Z2 just for hackery and stuff. I am looking for any way to hack it in general. I had a thought; couldn't one just use Magisk and use that to root the device? It would be much easier than doing it yourself, wouldn't it?

Also, couldn't one just install the GSI of whatever version of android the device is currently running?
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
big word brain hurt
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
First of all we found a way but it got patched. There is also a fairly simple way to completely run andriod OS, but the phone would lose its service.
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
How would you root the phone?
[General Topics] HorusDaCat:
Not sure if people are still contributing but if you are I guess heres a quick little run down of what we learned.

1. We found a way to install apps but then it got patched, and wasnt very effective in the first place.

2. There is a way to run a standard android os but it wont have service and will be missing a couple features.

3. They have patched the bugs for getting into developer mode and enabling usb debugging.

4. What we really want to find out right now is how to enable usb debugging, and/or get a apk installer onto the phone.
[General Topics] Howl1346:
Seems promising!
[General Topics] GL513:
If you look at Magisks website, doesnt it say that the magisk manager "roots" it, although its only modifying the actual OS?
[General Topics] GL513:
If someone could take apart the actual hardware, they might be able to find some way to trigger download mode by shorting random things lol

I know that on android 3.x phones that factory resetting it didn't do anything until it got an ADB command. Mabey *while* its factory resetting it temporarily enables adb.

Just a theory
[General Topics] HorusDaCat:
If you were to try to use magisk you cant really do that because it requires twrp, which does not support the gabb z2
[General Topics] Nature Grey:
I dont know if any of you have tried but instead of searching "auto" try to instead search something out of this list:

Monitoring

Media

Apps

Hardware

Acceleration.

If none of those work, i can give some more. Make sure to try all of them first.
[General Topics] Ivia_Loveschocolate!:
I searched these, there isn't rlly anything interesting.
[General Topics] Nature Grey:
Are you sure it is doing the same thing like when you typed auto? it will say something like System > Developer Options in gray underneath each option.
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
I’ve been all through permission manager, but nothing is there.
[General Topics] CohenDraper:
What abt an SD card, could you download apps there the inject em frome the SD?
[General Topics] Ivia_Loveschocolate!:
Not sure, I plan on trying that soon. I also searched everything on permission manager, nothing.
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
Yeah I’ve been trying to do that. I think it could probably work.
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
You can install adb by going into recovery mode
[General Topics] Austcool:
Has anyone figured out a way to get Magisk root on the phone?
[General Topics] Austcool:
If you can get Magisk you'll be able to prevent future OTA updates at the boot.img level solving the developer options disappearing... You'll also be able to install apks to userland using root using Aurora Store or MIX file manager or something like it.
[General Topics] Austcool:
I also think a flashing the Magisk zip with stock recovery off the SD Card is a possible root installing process in theory...
[General Topics] Austcool:
If this works let me know if someone tries it.
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
If anyone doesn’t know how to get into recovery mode, here is a tutorial.

{Mod edit: Please provide your tutorial on XDA. If you do you can support it by your Youtube video}
[General Topics] Ivia_Loveschocolate!:
Hey guys! I just discovered something! So I went into recovery mode and clicked apply update from abd, and when I went on webabd.com my device appered! However, I wasn't able to install APK's and it didn't quite work. But maybe you guys could use the usb debugging coding thing u were using before???
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
In the "apply an update using adb" part, you can only download a ROM using a computer. What somebody could do is make a custom ROM with Gabb software with USB debugging already enabled, and then just install that ROM.
[General Topics] zaperoony:
good idea!
[General Topics] LostSky.fearless:
I found one thing that you could do it costs come money tho... My little sister got a new gabb phone and it hadn't been updated because it had been in a box. I was able to turn on USB debugging but didn't download anything on it.
[General Topics] LostSky.fearless:
I found a thing called "install unknown apps." I turned it on for the file app and I haven't been able to to anything with it yet.
[General Topics] Ivia_Loveschocolate!:
Idk, I've found like 3 apps that I gave the permission to install unknown apps. Idk if its going to help anything! :(
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
ily don't think it can. I have already tried that, and the only one that seemed like it would work is if you press the dots in the top right and press show system (after you pressed install unknown apps), then there is Bluetooth. One thing is that I don't know of a way of actually installing an app through Bluetooth (I have tried) and even if you could, usually when you connect to certain devices, like a controller or another phone, it automatically disconnects.
[General Topics] Iqlessmemes:
If you literally break your phone to get a new one, make sure to record it =D
[General Topics] Ivia_Loveschocolate!:
Hmmm ya, installing unknown apps is pretty much useless. DON'T BREAK YOUR PHONE FOR THIS! It's not worth it. I have friends who just got one and autofill is locked. I think it would be easier if we just figure out how to unlock autofill again, iqlessmemes comfirmed to me that we can still get autofill, but we have to figure it out ourselves. Not sure if any other methods are gonna work!🤷
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
I finally got one of these 7T's (international) for a great price and fired it up, didn't do a bit of setup, rather slipped out after WIFI connect so as not to waste time, then used these two videos to unlock, root without TWRP, get Magisk to declare the phone rooted passing checks, and installed Viper 2.5.0.5 which works fine too.

Thanks to 'iFaiq Nerd' for the videos. Yeah, they're older and for older versions of 7T OOS, but work fine just by changing the OOS you're working with. You make all the files you need from your own.

I did this because I listened to them and decided he hadn't missed anything and also because I've heard video's asked for in here but didn't see a reference to these two. So far, aside from the OP7T being the side of a small house and weighing as much, it works great.

Note: You might not understand the voice in the video that well, so I recommend expanding the image and using closed captions just to be sure you're doing this correctly.

Edit: I realized when I finally rebooted for the first time yesterday that the boot_b partition hadn't been flashed so I'm adding that as the final instruction. When you're done with the above and all appears to be working fine and you're in the phone, reboot into fastboot, then do this from wherever you put your patched-magisk.

fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img

Then it boots fine each time.

edit: now working on this for 11.0.0.2 global. - Will write a simple install procedure if update works (Viper works, patch-magisk works, etc).
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Updated to 11.0.0.2 using local - made magisk-patched.img from latest magisk and boot.img as extracted from payload of latest zip distribution.

So far, all is working well, no data on charge life but 11.0 stable was very battery friendly. -- oh yeah: The same Viper I'd used before along with the post-shell.sh file works fine.

Note 2: In V11, it takes me about 3-5 days for the playstore certification but it all works anyway until that time. - I do go to the google certification site and register it using device-id android services framework # - Cheers.

And finally. I really never had a use for the Videos - I just do what I said in the line above. I put someone's vids up because they worked the first time and they were requested.

If anyone needs magic-patched for Global OP7T (works on hd1903 & 7 maybe others). I made one from the boot.img for hd1903 global.

Edit: Just did same thing for 11.0.1.1 global and it works fine: Used the latest magisk patched boot.img -

[G4] yeiran:
I had grown tired of my 8125 since most of the features on it didn't seem to work too well. Slow to render/refresh. The phone just seemed like it was dying. Memory was full since I was too cheap to buy a $15.00 miniSD card.

Well I started using a LG CU500 and got addicted to the 3G speeds and video streaming and kinda forgot about my 8125.

Well the LG has started acting weird so I revived my 8125 (after being thrown in a drawer for 3 or 4 months) Charged it up and then started searching the web for a way to make it better.

FOUND IT. I did a SOFTspl flash of the latest TNT release and all I have to say is WOW. The phone is much faster than before.Wifi actually works! and it tells me the weather without having to go on the terrible version of IE WM5 came with.

Thanks again
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melogibbo:
Hi everyone,

I've been scouring the forums for days and it's been really helpful but I just can't crack my problem.

My parent's Nexus 10 was having problems but due to the lockdown I couldn't go to help them out, my mum messed around and a factory reset went wrong.

At the moment, the tablet boots only as far as the Google logo. I can get into the bootloader, have unlocked it and tried flashing various stock Roms including the newest one (lmy49j) I'd get this message:

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

File system type raw not supported.

Boot up only as far as the Google logo still.

I tried using the flash-all.bat and manually line by line which seemed to give less errors but still no luck.

I've now been messing around with the Nexus Root toolkit v2.1.9 which allows me to boot into twrp and I can push files onto the sdcard. The problem is I can't mount the cache/data/storage so it still fails. I tried changing the file system to EX2 but it won't let me do that. They all show as 0mb. I can't wipe Data or Cache for the same reason, Davlik won't wipe either.

This link is my most promising lead left but I'm running out of ideas, I could be running a c:\Smash fist through tablet.bat command soon lol.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostMachine7:
Did you ever fix this? I've the same problem.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostMachine7:
I was able to get mine working again. One of the partitions had been corrupted. When in TWRP I looked under 'mounting' and the one that wouldn't mount was the problem. So I deleted then recreated that partition using the instructions and version of twrp found here.

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-lineage...us10-2021-02-08.3557735/page-48#post-77759823

While in parted, display sector values for partitions. Then when you delete that partition recreate it using the same values, reformat it as described in the same post above, and your device should be ready for an installation.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melogibbo:
Thanks man, I will give it a go!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostMachine7:
Do you have a stock PIT file for the manta available? I want to go back to stock but I repartitioned mine for a custom install and didn't get the PIT beforehand as I didn't expect to be going back. I like the newer version, but it's too slow for many uses. I know the stock image doesn't have security updates, but since I use it only on my LAN and sometimes for streaming sites, I don't see it being a big risk and it should be a lot more responsive.

Thanks
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melogibbo:
Hey, no I don't sorry. I'm still having trouble even loading up the version of twrp mentioned in the thread let alone flashing a rom onto it. I can only get into twrp if I use the nexus root toolkit otherwise it just gives me errors relating to not being able to mount cache, very frustrating.

I can only look at it now and again as it sucks all my time up and pisses me off, I'll have another stab at it next week maybe.
[Android Head-Units] Void tracer:
Hello All!

I've looked for this all over, no luck! This post is my last hope.

I've a Chinese headunit 10.25, android 7 that I'm using on an Audi, I'm currently rooted (the reason was to use Viper4android).

What I really would like to do is use a 3rd party launcher, car launcher pro specifically.

In the original launcher that it shipped with, it has a button that takes me to my MMI interface which I need.. Also, there is a button for the "phone app" which I need mainly to stream music from my phone.

My question is, can I somehow map those into any android launcher that I can customize (as a shortcut/widget) ? Those aren't really "apps" as I looked for them under normal apps and system apps and found nothing.

Appreciate your input.

[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MeTheRebel:
The phone is relatively new and since it's not mainstream most carriers don't support it yet. Some people say they have VoLTE enabled and it works but I personally switched to Singapore EX and it seems VoLTE isn't detected at all so I started digging and it seems this issue is present in most Chinese phones. (https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-activate-volte-and-vowifi-simple-and-clear.4116051/) In this thread they used the Qualcomm tool and exploit the bug in EngineerMode on OnePlus phones which we don't have an access to and since we can't root or unlock the bootloader we can't modify build.prop or change any system files.

-----Maybe it's my carrier, maybe it's the Singapore ROM so please if VoLTE and VoWifi works for you could you post here which country you're on, which ROM version and if you changed region before or not.------

First a warning: If you aren't tech-savvy, experiencing issues or want to potentially turn your phone in a paper weight do NOT try this at the moment. We do not have the tool to restore your phone back (wiping data might work but idk). You can send your phone to Oppo for repair but you might have to wait for a month or two.

I don't know if you need to unlock your phone from the other thread to have access to this mode(I did have it all decrypted during this test) but in addition to the *#808# engineer mode and *#*#4636#*#*(Where you can check if you have VoLTE enabled) I found we have access to *#36446337#.

In *#36446337# I managed to enter "Protocol test switch" -> "MBN TEST" and switch my profile from Common-Commercial(I think it was this one) to Commercial-DT-VOLTE. The phone rebooted and everything is fine but "MBN Validate" is giving me an error when I run it and I can't test if it works because I'm currently out of the country and my temporary SIM provider doesn't support VoLTE.

It's probably nothing and the error is because of the lack of developer files on the ROM but I need people who can test if these profiles act like the flashing from the Qualcomm tool in the thread mentioned above.

So once again if you don't have VoLTE enabled and are feeling a bit courageous - give it a try.
