OTA modifier

What is this:
- This is a script which can be used from a Linux PC (should work on Mac too) in order to modify the OTA updates.
- It is suitable for all 6039 and 6045 devices.
- The owners of 6039 which returned the fastboot commands to their devices by using the guide in this section need to use the script in order to modify and install future OTA updates.
- The script removes the checks and the patches for the recovery. In addition for the 6039 users removes the check and the patches which remove the fatsboot commands.
How to use it:
- There are dependencies (i.e. packages which are needed) in order the script to function properly. In order to be widely supported the script has been written as bash script and needs only zip and unzip binaries in order to modify the upgrade file. All other commands used in it should be available as core packages on any Linux system.
- The script must have executable permissions and the update file to be provided as argument e.g.
Code:
ota_modifier.sh /home/Downloads/update.zip
there a few questions which can be asked by the script, which must be answered with y/n. At the end, in the directory from where the script has been executed, you will have a modified flashable ZIP which can be installed through TWRP in order to upgrade the device.

P.S. If someone can modify the script to work under Windows is welcome to do it.

Hm, interesting. Actually the check is based on the 'magic' of the file. Can you run:
Code:
file update_20150928.zip
and to provide the output.
Edit: Probably I should remove this check and to unzip the file blindly. And then on unsuccessful unzip to exit with error. Probably this is a better approach.

Yes, on the local machine will be better (also try the script from there) ... It works without problems on Debian and openSUSE
... No write access to / tmp ... Come on, who does not have access to there. <- This was an error in the script.

OK there was an error indeed in the directory switch (it was behind the fi) when you select n on the prompt. Download the script again. It is already updated.
Edit: @famewolf thanks for the fast response in order to be corrected.

Damn. Sorry somehow I messed files ... this not been updated ... This section from the script must look like this:
Code:
if [ -d patch ]; then
if [[ "$ans" == "y" ]] || [[ "$ans" == "Y" ]]; then
pushd patch &>/dev/null
for i in emmc_appsboot.mbn.p hyp.img.p rpm.img.p sbl1.img.p tz.img.p
do
rm "$i"
done
popd &>/dev/null
fi
I will upload the correct file after a minute.

Will have to restore factory image of UE40 then try to apply the update (I have a modified build.prop and other files that will prevent an update).
Windows users can put the update and the script on a jump drive and boot into a linux live iso to run it...the live iso can be booted in virtualbox as well which is a free virtual pc package.
*update* Just a quick followup to say the modified update applied just fine via twrp and worked as expected.

I see almost everyone is using Ubuntu. Would Debian be ok (I don't see why it shouldn't)? I am dual booting W7/Debian 8.2 and would hate to change to Ubuntu.
Thanks

I used OpenSuse KDE for around 10 years. I only switched to Linux Mint in the last couple of years due to issues getting certain hardware to work under opensuse that just worked out of the box with linux mint. (gscan2pdf..a minolta 1250W printer) I also was frustrated that certain software packages were only available from users instead of being in the main opensuse repo and some of those were broken in various ways. Debian should work just fine...actually just about any linux should work just fine but you could always use a live iso in virtualbox or boot off a live iso directly.

No need for a live one don't worry. I was more guessing about dependencies name issue or conflicts.
I used to be an Archlinux user for several years and know how complicated it can be when you mix 32 and 64 bits libraries.
I'm using my computer less and less so moved to Debian for a slower update pace.
Regarding Ubuntu, in the compilation topics, most of the people talk about Ubuntu so I was guessing there was something specific.
Thanks guys.

Web based OTA modifier
This is strictly just "pie in the sky" thinking.....what would be ideal would be to have a webpage where you can upload your update and it processes it then provides you the modified file. I've seen this done with similar things...I know there are places online that would provide a linux shell to run the script..not sure how the web page would integrate but that would allow people to request the update from a phone.
Anyway the safest update method is to go to TWRP and 1) Backup your system, data, boot of existing system in case of problems. 2)Restore a factory image of the version you are on so everything is as the update will expect. 3) Apply the modified update. 4) Make another backup..this time of system image and boot..this will become your new "factory image" for the next update. You can then apply zip's like the supersu.zip and any special ones you've created with the zipme app. Finally reboot.

Really nice. Please port to windows.

You'd have better luck in googling how to run bash scripts under windows (or using my live iso + jumpdrive suggestion). petrov.0 doesn't use windows.

do you think it's possible to crossflash my 6045y with the 6045i latest update with this modification since the partitions are the same?

As stated many times before, NO! The most recent update will only install on UE40 firmware and it upgrades it to UER0. It checks for it and even if it didn't the source code for the 6045Y and the 6045i are different...even if you removed the check when it tried to patch your radio it would probably kill both cell and wifi and create a mess you probably could not get back from unless you've used @DallasCZ's Backup_All script to backup all partitions on your device.
Having partitions in the same order just means they can use the same recovery since system, data and boot will be in the same places...nothing more.

alright

CUOCO92 11S V4.1-V4.3 OTA to V4.4 doesn't seems to get applied ?!

Hi,
today I noticed that there is again an OTA update from 4.3 to 4.4 for the CUOCO 11S US version.
The OTA Update Tool from CUOCO downloaded it without problems, but after TWRP flashing it seems that the described fixes weren't included or the update didn't apply.
I tested this by trying the quick fixes described in the change log, e.g. setting for calculator and qrcode.
Does anyone successful installed this OTA update on his CUOCO 11S US ROM ?

Even with a factory reset on my actual CUOCO92 V4.2 build I'm not able to update to 4.3 and then 4.4 via OTA-Updater.
After installation without errors regarding the TWRP install output my phone ist still on build 4.2. Maybe I have to delete all partitions and do a restore to the factory ROM via TWRP 3.0.2 restore.
Look at my last "last_ota_log". I tried also to install another ZIP here for example SuperSU Beta 2.74 this one also has problems:

Obviously it has something todo with the rw mount permissions of the system partition. It seems that the CUOCOS update script can't overwrite or replace the files:

ui_print("LEECO OTA UPDATE CUOCO92");
sleep(5);
ui_print("Preparing update...");
show_progress(1.34,70);

unmount("/data");
sleep(10);
ui_print("Done");
show_progress(1.34,10);
sleep(5);
run_program("/sbin/reboot");
The script seems to fail during extraction of the package when it tries to replace the several folders under /system/...

Bootloader Unlocked TWRP Recovery and root for xperia m5 [E5633]

بنام خداوند بخشنده و مهربان
Sony Xperia M5 Dual (e5633). Remember to hit the Thanks button before leaving
Your warranty will be void!!!!
You will lose all your Data due to Factory Reset!!!
I am not responsible for bricked devices, loss of data
Working on:
Sony Xperia M5 (Dual) E5633 Bootloader Unlocked 30.0.B.1.23
How To:
Unlock the Bootloader
Install a custom recovery
(TWRP)​Unlocking the Bootloader:
Pre Warning this worked on my phone and I cannot say it will work on yours you may end up with a soft brick so think and research before you proceed.
(In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.)
So now goto http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ and select device Xperia Z5 Dual then follow all thier instruction. (Credit for this belongs to another member I will add it when I find the post)
Go to fastboot mod(volume up+power button)
Then enter:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xMYDEVICEUNLOCKCODE
When it says “finished” or “Done” hopefully with no errors just enter
fastboot reboot
Install a custom recovery M5 (TWRP)
Pre Info:
Practice Entering recovery and fastboot using the buttons and keys quick tut.
Phone power off and make sure to unplug usb lead.
Recovery:
Press and keep held the Volume Down key (-)
Now Press and hold Power Key until you see the Sony Boot Logo then release the Power Key only.
You can release the Volume Down Key when you see the Logo screen change or you are in recovery.
Bootloader:
As above but using the Volume UP key (+) instead.
Check the bootloader status:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
output should show “(bootloader) secure: No” in the last few lines.
If it says No enter:
fastboot flash fotakernel fotakernel.img
It should display a size and some seconds info with complete or success you should see NO warning or errors.
Power off phone and press volume down + power button to intro recovery mod.
for root:
first I'm sorry for the phones boot loop
do not flash any supersu.zip to your phone
To correct phones only flash system.sin with flashtool .
see this video for how to flash your device:
http://hw16.asset.aparat.com/aparat-...15q__15d6e.mp4
Do not chick Wipes
only system should be unchiched
and chick cust-reset and simlock to exclude them
and remember do not flash Incompatible zip file.
THIS IS IMPORTANT
The rom has:
Go to root/system find recovery.from.boot.p and Delete it.

Brilliant work, confirmed recovery is accessible on E5653 on Marshmallow, but the SuperSU won't install due to an error:
- Extracting ramdisk --- Failure, aborting
Luckily system still works however.

I'm able to access the recovery, but can't flash FTF or do PC Companion repair because it formatted. Can't flash system.sin from FTF via fastboot because it gives me a size error too. TWRP tells me there's no OS installed, so I'm pretty much softbricked, until there's a rom I can flash.
Anyone got some suggestions?

Click to collapse
Extract system.sin with flashtool then rename system.ext4 to system.img and flash it by this command:
fastboot flash syatem system.img

your fotakernel is image of fotakernel partition and after compression reaches its size to 12mb or 13mb.

Ok, thank for the reply.
Could I install this from terminal with the command "dd if= of= "? I not remenber if this partition is important for boot the os phone (I have a copy from ta.img, but I not unlocking bootloader for now) but I can reflash this original partition with flashtool in flashmode (I think).

-delete-

Well, finally this recovery not work in 5603... I injected the partition with dd command, but the phone shutdown when I try enter in recovery, I restored the original partition and work fine...

For Marshmallow, should we use systemless root or standard root? Especially in the case of dm-verity and unmodifiable system partition.

I have tried from the fastboot in your release, and from minimal fastboot & adb.
I've tried system.sin, system.ext4 (renamed to system.img) from Marshmallow, AND tried from a Lollipop release as well. Same issue.

you can flash system.sin (only system.sin) with flashtool and remember use latest version and sync device.

dd command is a way to flash a image of the partition this fotakernel(recovery) is not a image of partition!
only way to flash this recovery is unlock the bootloader and use fastboot.
before unlock the bootloader take backup of this partition with dd command:
ta(drm keys and bootloader)
nvram(imei)
boot
fotakernel
you can restore drm keys and locked bootloader by restore ta partition with this tool:
https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases
remember:
when you want to restore ta partition first copy ta.img to internal storage.
DO NOT EVER flash the NVRAM or TA partition of another device, even if it's from exactly the same model. You'll hard brick your device by doing that.

Thank you, but in addition, would method help in regaining functionality in DRM dependent services/features in scenarios that the TA partition was not backed up? Especially for Android 6.0 stock.

I want to install S1Boot Fastboot driver but Device Manager doesn't show my Xperia M5 :/

If someone made a copy of fotakernel (recovery) as partition ...
Could I then rewrite the partition with dd command?
In case if it worked.
Could someone upload the copy of partition?
I'd be really grateful.

Also, I tried the rooting method stated, no success. Attached is the recovery log for the failed attempt to get systemless root. Please advice.

Do you need a specific version of the partition?
I currently have my M5 5606 with android 5.1
If it works for you just give me the steps to do it and Ill get you my backup

This is the partition:
Well, the steps firts is the this post.
My computer, after 9 years of sevice, is dead (death programmer for the factory?), I can't unlock bootloader, then I only can install recovery for terminal emulator.
Then I need (and other users with bootloader locked):
1. A user with unlock bootloader, Install recovery via fastboot.
2. Reboot the phone and start terminal emulator (busybox installed previus)
3. Type the next commads:
- su
- dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
This is for make a copy the recovery partition. Only users with unlock bootloader.
If this work, then the users with bootloader lock could install the updated copy from recovery partition with the next command:
- su
- dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/fotakernelbackup.img
- dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9.
This could work, I don't know.
Pd: sorry my english.

Systemless root is complicated in itself and according to the developer Magisk isn't really meant for passing safetynet. I also noted incompatibility with Tasker, Secure Settings, that is, apps which require traditional root. In the end it's just to much of a hassle to be worth it.
I just went back to SuperSU after discovering It was quite difficult to pass safetynet. I did manage though, but it's a never-ending fight against cooperations with ridicilous amounts of money involved. There will only be one outcome.
You can read about how to install Magisk in the TWRP-thread.

Ok thanks i guess that answered my question i guess ill wait untill android pay workaround becomes available with normal root method.

Hi,
Which is the lastest working version of Magisk on Lenovo P2 nougat?
As for me I can only install v11.2, not the lastest v13.2
Thanks for your answers!
Edit : here is the error log when I try to install the last version:

Problem installing SuperSU or Magisk

I've successfully unlocked the bootloader of my One M8 (Android 6.0) and installed TWRP 3.4.0.1 but I am unable to install any version of SuperSU (ex Chainfire) by flashing the zip through TWRP or install Magisk 20.4(20400) via the Magisk Manager app.
In the case of SuperSU it fails on the extraction of ramdisk.
In the case of Magisk the system responds "! Unsupported/Unknown image format"
Does anyone have any suggestions ?

the only thing i can think of that might shine more light on the SuperSU error , at least ; is after failure , in twrp go > advanced > copy log.
maybe the log will provide more details of the error.
srry , thats all i got. good luck.

Thanks for your advice.
Since what I'm trying to do is fairly "fundamental" can you advise a combination of TWRP version & Super SU version that will work together. I'm assuming tha the failure to unzip properly is a functional of TWRP. I've looked at the beginner's guide here but all point to (what appears to me) to be very old versions of the two pieces of software required. Should I even be using Super SU....has it been superceded by something better. Presumably others in the HTC One M8 community could tell which combinations worked successfully for them

I looked in the log as suggested and got the following :-

.....any bright ideas about what went wrong here ?

no , i'm really no good at reading logs.
but i'm using the same twrp ver. with SuperSU-v.2.82 which i'm pretty sure was the last buid.
maybe if you posted the log in the SuperSU thread someone could read it? '

Finally succeeded with Magdisk BUT it doesn't seem to give me root access.
Tried "su" with Terminal Emulator expecting to get a "#" prompt but nothing !!!!
Root Checker says it hasn't happened ! Do I need to install anything as well as Magisk ?
