[Q] AlpharevX Doesnt detect my Wildfire :(

Ive tried to s-off my Wildfire like 3 times. The first one i failed cz i chose HBOOT 1.01.0001. The second one it was stucked on Acquiring Root <method 1> then i waited, then it said click anything to exit. after that my third times, it doesnt detect my handset.
Does it mean my WF already s-off or what?
Thanks a lot to who has answered my question

You can check the HBOOT version by pressing Vol - and power when turning it on.

i already know its 1.01.0002
But then when i tried to do it again, the alpharevx doesnt detect my phone. it only said : Android
Then it wanted i put the serial
nvm, it detects now. But it stucks when it says Thank you for participating

hye...
i am rlly new with this forum just rcently bcame a mmber... n of cz vry noob...
i hving this problem when i try to run the alpharev X it says waiting for device..

No. It detects it almost immediately. Possible solutions:
- Make sure USB Debugging is On, as already said above
- Redownload the AlphaRev X Executable file
- Make sure Drivers are installed and working properly. There are 2 aspects to this:
1) Install HTC Sync, and, Uninstall it. The ADB Drivers will be installed
2) The HBoot Drivers are next. Guide to install that is here:

Its an example. The actual file will be the one you downloaded. (Theres a link in the first line of that guide called Unrevoked Modified USB Driver)

thanks i just install the hboot driver.. install htc sync and uninstall htc sync.. so now i hope alpharev x can detect my phone... again thank u 4 the help..

now rise another problem.. alpharev x can detect myphone but when i enter the beta key base my serial no it says invalid beta key...

There are two possible solutions there again. But, before that, make sure you have entered the right details (Right Serial Number (HT0....), Right HBoot Version, Right Device Model).
Once you are sure these are correct:
- Solution 1 - Copy the beta key in your clipboard from the website, then right click the title bar of the AlphaRevX Application, Click Properties, then check mark Quick Edit Mode. Then Right click anywhere inside the window, it will paste the key.
- Solution 2 - Redownload the AlphaRevX Application from the website and retry.
EDIT: Ninja'ed, Oh well.

lol sory mymistake... actually i really put the wrong beta key...
now that i hve S-OFF myphone what should i do now... sorry i really dont know anything..

Two ways again:
1) Follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
2) Use Fastboot (Which I used)
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff, irrespective of what you followed above.

EXE File.
That post simply means, that when you have completed installing your SDK, then, there will be a folder called "Tools" at your install location. Copy Paste the Recovery.img file to the Tools folder.

ok now i hve copy the recovery.img into tools
then open cmd right?? now what??

Your link works perfect
Setup is not compatible with 64 bit win 7 ultimate
But all you need to do is:
0. Extract the Zip file to any folder
1. Goto Device manager
2. Right click the s1bootdownload icon (which will have an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle)
3. Click update driver
4. Use manual install from computer option
5. select the folder where you extracted the zip file
6. Hit ok
7. Works like charm

The best version is the one provided as part of flashtool

[HELP] i can't install S1 boot fastboot driver SOLVED!!!

Hi everybody
I would like to unlock the bootloader of my ARC S , 4.0.2.A.0.42, sim unlock factory and with a generic fw.
I used the tuto of sony ericsson , asking me to replace a file in C:/AndroidSDK/extras/google/usb_drivers , something like that.
So i replaced the file. Pressed menu button and plugged the phone.
I have the choice to select the driver, indicate the folder and it begins to install and suddenly stop each time, saying me :
"Windows met a problem during the installation of the driver for your device"
Windows has found a driver for your device, but met a problem trying to install it"
Android ADB Interface
Specified file is unfound
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have the fastboot.exe file, adb.exe and all the others files in my sdk..
Please help me to solve this problem
Thx!!

Not sure what drivers you found, but the ones from this thread worked fine for me.
Just extract the zip somewhere and when prompted for a driver location, point it to that folder, don't complicate things by messing around with file swaps in the Android SDK folder.
Also, that guide is pretty much all you need, to get your bootloader unlocked.

hi
Thx a lot for your answer
I tryed another folder found on google yesterday and it works.
Files seems to be the same than yours so if i havent found yet and used these ones, it should have worked too.
Thk you, and have a good day.
Fabulous

HELLO.. can i ask for the link of where you downloaded the android_winusb.inf ?THanks

FAQ:
How to find the ota?
If you're rooted, wait for the device to prompt you to update, then check /cache for the file
If you're not rooted, wait until the same time and do an adb logcat and look for a line with .zip in it
Why isn't the latest ota listed?
We can only list what we have, if the ota from Build X to Build Y isn't listed, we dont have the file for it yet.
How do you setup adb/fastboot
Please read the stickies in the general subforum, this is not a formal guide
Do I need to unlock the bootloader to flash the update zip?
Yes, if you wish to do it manually.
If you allow android to prompt for the update, you do not need to unlock
Can I flash this if I have a custom rom?
No, you must be on a stock AND unmodified rom
Can I flash this if I'm rooted?
Only if you have not modified any files

Kernel source for kitkat-wear Tetra
[QUOTE="Bill Yi]
Bill Yi
Oct 17
hi All,
Today, we pushed a kernel project for kitkat-wear release. The kernel source can be found on the android-bcm-tetra-3.10-kitkat-wear branch in the kernel/bcm project. It has the following tags:
android-4.4w_r5 Factory-ROM
android-4.4w_r6 update #1

[/QUOTE]
There will be an ota when the product launches.
When it finally ships, could someone hook it up to wireshark/etherial/fiddler/<preferred network sniffer> and grab the full url name along with the filename of it?
Also could someone not update theirs immediately and dump the rom when a custom recovery is eventually made for it?

The ota for the SM3 is already rolling out, I do not have any information on either the starting rom or the one it flashes to.

no ota yet but firmware update available for me through pc companion (Ive updated..).
is the a way to convert pc companion files into something helpful?
Ive had already pushed and pulled files to watch via bluetooth adb and have installed towelroot via adb - e install.. didn't work as expected hehe. (I haven't bootloader unlocked yet in case there's drm?).
let me know if my pc companion files and rudimentary adb skills can be of assistance ?
Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

fastboot oem unlock works, but make sure to format cache and user data.
How did you grab PC companion files, are they cached on disk or are you intercepted request?

I can force update thru pc companion ~ I presume I can find files somewhere on my pc ? (haven't looked yet, booted into linux atm on dual boot)
Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

Looks like you are from Sony Android world, if Sony update images are something easy to extract boot.img we could get permissive/or tethering root kernel and/or twrp.

I'm still trying to figure out how similar this is to sony phones with the phone it is (relatively) easy to convert ota to ftf, then extract, edit default.prop, put back together and flash as insercure stock kernel. (saying that, I'm reinstalling linux after hd failure and have lost all my sony tools).
I don't think any of this is relevant though as I doubt the sony flashtool for ftf conversion will support android wear.
most likely, somebody better at this than me will pop up a recovery and then we are good I guess.
not sure much can be gained by having root yet anyway hehe (itching to sideload tasker though).
(using a not yet rooted z3 not helping either..)
and sry OP for OT.. started off relevant lol
Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

I dont use/have sony devices, but in the context of being a wear device: the updates should be otas, not done though pc companions.
wear devices are goog devices in all but name, the only thing separating them from nexus devices is the lack of factory images and redistributable binaries.

I doubt it is different, it shows as s1 device w/o driver in download mode and as SEFlash with driver and updates by the same pc companion using phone/tablet repair screen.
There is no need for Sony to reinvent the wheel. It is like Odin on Samsung, version of flashtool might be different but otherwise the same protocol and I bet the same packaging.
Will try to intercept download request.

Ok, no need to intercept, PC Companion caches the files.
Flashtool extracted it into individual sin files, but smartwatch3 is not listed in devices so I would not risk to flash ftf.
Boot.sin and recovery.sin when extracted by flashtool is actually android img files. Just tested fastboot flash boot boot.ext4 (which is android image) and device boots fine after that.
Extracted boot, recovery, system and userdata, will upload together with all sin files soon.
Also, no there is no need to reflash watch using phone/tablet repair menu, Accessories software update -> Smartwatch 3 allows to reflash stock firmware.

You are right in terms of OTA, but as with other devices - there are OTA and factory images, factory images are managed by the Sony (I bet samsung uses it's odin as well) and can be updated to or reflashed using their PC Companion software through sony s1 bootloader that is accessible with powerbutton (read sony download mode).
As soon as my uploads will be done I'll post urls to sony .sin files extracted by flashtool (can be further extracted from .sin container) and already extracted boot.img, recovery.img, system.ext4, cache.ext4 and userdata.ext4.
Will be in Rom dump request thread.

From the user's perspective it might be semantics, as even for nexus devices: they still respond to OEM download tools.
For the N4 and N5, they both respond to and have LG tools+restore images, they also responds to qcom tools.
The difference is that these tools are not distributed to the public.
the ota system used however is all identical across goog rom devices, and so is goog factory images.
However: if sony provides their own factory images for this, and the original urls are available, I'll make note of it somewhere.
I need the original urls however, reuploads are not acceptable.
I've attempted to catch otas on motorola devices, but they use urls that are unique to the user and expire after a short amount of time, thusly I don't track OEM motorola otas, only otas for the play edition moto g.
Edit: there may be at least 2 otas for the sm3,
android-4.4w_r6 and android-4.4w_r7 are supposed to be for the sm3,
but the previously provided files are newer then android-4.4w_r8.
So it's possible that currently unboxed devices may have jumped from <unknown build>/r6 to r8 and skipped r7

Please verify if you can download it: http://software.sonymobile.com/ns/common/1/file/334/281751334_MkNeOD3-Rt7B0pOu9N5WSVtT.bin
This is main file (second of two) used by sony Update Engine, if you can download it I'll redo repair and capture url of the first one.
The files are:
FILE_281727981 - 90.5Kb
FILE_281751334 - 114Mb (120 155 512 bytes)
I dont know what convention sony uses for the files and directory name but they are usable by flashtool to at least extract the partition files (loaders, kernel, system, etc...). I'll try to get in touch with flashtool devs to produce ftf package to keep all files flashable by flashttol to even downgrade if needed.

How did you get the PC Companion to work? I can't get it past the 'Prepare' screen which tells me to make sure the watch is off, turn it on, wait for animation and connect the usb cable. The watch shows up in Device Manager as 'Tetra' without drivers installed.

^^ power off, usb plug in, usb connect to pc. a graphic of the usb plugged in shows up if done correctly. it was really hit and miss updating via pc companion for me, failed (it seems) 9 out of 10 times and then the 10th would work. (I reflashed stock 3 times now hehe)

Any way to force an update?

not sure how to force, I don't have debug/test firmware. It said I was up to date but allowed me to reflash 'current firmware' (4.4W2 build KNX01V) as a repair install.

Stuck at 7.5.1.0

I have a Chinese max, 32gb. It’s currently on miui 7.5.1.0 stable. When I click check for updates it says no updates available. I’m in china if that makes any difference.
How can I upgrade to a newer software? Can I change to global rom?
I don’t have a windows computer and most guides seems to require windows. Also I don't want a custom rom.
Alternatively, how can I get native update function the to work?
Thanks for help to push mein the right direction.

Well, without a pc you have less options, users of miui are on nougat (beta) but in your case must be sure of these things; download (easier) an app from playstore about developer options, open and check at USB debugging, allow, now download a global version from official Miui page for Hydrogen (device name) must be in .zip format and try going to /settings/about device/system update you`ll see four dots upper right and option "select update package", navigate to your downloaded file and try to flash

Thanks. So I downloaded it, went to updater and chose the file, and it says couldn't verify update package.
Tried to download to recovery mode, but then I just get to a screen with the symbol to connect USB cable to computer.

If from this option doesn`t flash your zip either do from mi recovery. Version for China probably is from a phone company if you live there. You need a pc at least to install TWRP (it takes two minutes) and from here you must install last version official beta v8 7.1.19 but you need unlock bootloader

So this is not possible to do with a MAC? what about the terminal commands, can I install a rom from the CLI ?

I know this isn't the quickest workaround, but if you're stuck on a Mac you can always bootcamp it for free. Just download Windows 10 (around a 5GB download I think) and install via bootcamp. You don't need a serial to officially install or run WIndows 10 and you can just remove the installation when you're finished.

You can use other advance phone (cause this will be busy) like a viewfinder of .img in your computer, with an app from Play Store called DriveDroid, you place some .img in your sdcard and to arrange computer select usb (it`s like a virtual machine) or burn an image in a usb with a linux distro, here is a rescue cd that contain a virtual Windows XP called Hiren`s Boot (500 mb aprox.) but really I don`t know if all that works on a mac.

I tried using fastboot commands on mac to to update, but didn't work.
I guess I'll have to stick with 7.5.10 until I get a new phone.
However wonder why the OTA update doesn't work.

unlock bootloader, request to xiaomi, sometimes you got it in 6 hours, depends, probably device is rooted, for this reason don't update ota. Here you have other thread to apply fastboot with other method https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755

tried both the flash all except storage.sh and the flashboot flash system commands. it said device it locked. I applied to unlock bootloader, no reply yet, but does that also require a Windows program to unlock the bootloader?
Device is not rooted, but I installed google play, maybe that's what broke the OTA

No, Google Play can't do that. In my little corner of the world we say "all the roads lead to Rome", I think you need a pc, There is other shorter way of two steps root first with a pc and then download from Google Play an app called "flashfire" you may flash a zip rom from this app. Also you may use a virtual cd or usb with a linux distro like ubuntu or debian running on your mac to arrange computer like a live cd or usb without install on your mac or if you prefer install it on your mac, there's a world of options just root device and can flash any you want and be the real owner of your phone
