Develop Bugs

Android port has began for Wave

I have been thinking of a side project i can start and since i recently acquired a wave and have a SGS myself it seems like a fun project. I found out that it has a hummingbird processor and may not be much difference from a Galaxy S in terms for hardware. Right now I'm just collecting as much information as i can about the device and what similarities the Wave has to a Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
So throw me what you got, its not an easy task and will need help, i have started another thread to see if i can get some Devs interested in this project and are willing to help in the android section
The idea is to port the Galaxy S i9000 firmware to the Wave that way you still have the samsung feel and since its made for the hummingbird processor. We will first need to see if we can get access to hardware and use that to inject code etc. This is in the research stage as of now.
THIS IS JUST A START AND MAY DIE BEFORE IT EVEN BEGINS. SO DON'T COMPLAIN WHY IT WAS STOPPED. I AM DOING THIS ONLY TO SEE IF I CAN DO IT AND NOTHING MORE.

If only i know C++ language, ican help you but i don't know. I'll follow and wait your results.

Keep going my friend. If you success (i hope) i will pay you to get the firmware!

thanx for starting this. i have visited forums where people are trying to port android on wave. And there biggest problem is bootloader. they cant dissemble it, just want to provide you this info. i will provide more info as soon as i get on any forums. This is the only way i can help, as i am only a application developer.

adfree is working on bootloader. Please, contact him.

But you read this first?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899535
I9000 stuff is available... but remember Baseband is Infineon... not Qualcomm...
Aplication Processor is identical...
Maybe more luck with Galaxy K M130K Firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12083886&postcount=7
But I can't find Firmware for M130K
Go find Firmware from M130K with BootFiles.

it says original firmware for M130K but not sure
pspmaster. tistory. com/48

looks like it is the firmware you wanted adfree
here is the link righ here easier http://pspmaster.tistory.com/48
use google chrome with this page as it is in korean

Well, if you google M130K-KIES, you can get the firmware via 4share, but the file it got was without the boot.bin :-(. But I'm not sure about the firmware from pspmaster.

whats with this project ?
http://www.androidport.net/

pawlakpl this site androidport.net never end this project becouse no money.

Here is an app someone created i will try it when i get home to see if if i can get it to download the Korean SGS firmware (use to use it all the time back when i had the O2, if anyohne wants to give it a shot feel free

But XDA can end a project ?

I've downloaded M130K-HOME-REV04-EA29.tar
Thanx to hsingh56 and mylove90.
As I've searched several hours via Google with no success...
Now I have also Bootloader files from M130K... but looks totally different as I thought...
Anyway... I9000 and M130K have similar folders/files...
factoryfs.rfs.img
Rename into *.img like above. And extract with WinImage for instance...
Then use open eyes.
1.
Few Images are QMG... for PowerOFF QMG Animation...
2.
*.so files
3.
lib\hw
...s5pc110.so
But anyway. As long NOBODY try with JTAG (RIFF BOX) + Wave S8500 + knowledge different combinations. If Boot area is secured?
We will NEVER see Android on Wave...
Best Regards

So the wuestion is....
Whos have JTAG+S8500+Knowledge+Free time to help the bootloader creation?

Yes,boot and sbl is secured(e-fused)

Euhmm. If you guys actually READ The site it shows we are working. Only we PROBALY need IDA. But we're in touch with Dopi from IDA. if things work out we will have the bootloader disassembled within 2 weeks and we can start testing the modified FW from the Galaxy S

Please, STOP. I won't comment on that nonsense. Let me just say good riddance to you and come back with the results. We already had enough talking and it's time for you to show whether you can distinguish ARMv4, ARMv7, decrypted, encrypted executables and any basics of code signing.

great initiative...keep it up the work and never give up...

Info about new HTC 10 Please

Hello guys im a big fan of HTC using them from the last 15 years.
I moved yesterday from my belowed M8 to HTC 10 because i get a"Brand New"" Mint condition never used HTC 10 for exactly 200 USD and i saw its a super Offer for this Carbon Black device no single scratch still sealed
I cheked the phone and is writen to beb USA WWE Version Factorory Uncloked etc.
All work perfectly fine i chek it via HTC Diag and few more alternatives the only one thing bother me when im using a program to identify the device in Main bord is writen "QC Reference Phone" What this mean its that a normal?
The phone is 32GB Black Carbon USA unclocked WWE version i update it via the OTA to android 7 exactly the latest Security Patch is from September 2017 and the build of the android, 2.51.617.21 the official one since the phone was never Rooted or Unlocked Bootloader or S-Offed i have to do this this weekend)
so if you can give me more info about this will be perfect
Thank you in advance.

My other question is regarding the Unclocking things, since 10 is new device for me i will unlock the bootloader with HTC devs 1st then will install costum recovery and root it do i have to S-OFF it just to use a Custum ROM? like Viper and some mods all i want is to be able to flash Viper ROM plus Ainur Aidio Mod Sauron plus Infinity Sound mod by Zero thats it..
I know if i S-OFF it will be able to flash diferent RADIOS firmwares etc but in case im with the latest official Nougat firmware why i will need to do that? or do i really need it if i want to be able to flash only the above things i need.
Of course later with the change and OREO firmware update i will S off it anyway but do i need to do it right now what exactly i will be not able to do if im S-ON only the RADIO firmware?
THANK YOU much appriciete

Basicially S-OFF is needed if You want to change MID and/or CID to flash any RUU You want or, as You said, to be able to flash different firmware (older for example).
In matter of flashing custom roms, You don't need S-OFF to do this. If You have latest official Nougat firmware You can flash Viper ROM plus extras You have mentioned
Remeber one thing, before flashing first custom rom it's always nice and handy to perform backup in TWRP.

They gave you a QC reference phone. It's a prototype for development. You need to report that user to ebay and get your money back.

I'm not sure (and i do understand that You don't have it from Ebay), i've just quoted post from another topic You need to wait for reply of someone who understands hardware much more better than me

I hope to recive idea what this mean to know to return it back and get my bucks or its a nice device and this doesnt mean anything serious i read post that many One PLus and HTC device the mother board is read like QC reference Board but i dont have idea what is this?!
How i can chek to be sure i have serial number and imei and etc to do get var all?

I think the best way would be to contact HTC Support directly and give them all the details about phone

For all the people who wonder there is nothing WRONG with that and is not only ME also the thing about test unit or some kind of protoype is not true as well finally i have a chance to talk directly with HTC Tech support for many things including this QC Reference phone readin of the MotherBoard.
Also they did a nice lookup chek for me and told me the device i got is Perfect USA Factory Unlocked Aka Developers Device in perfect condition. And also that the dive is bought directly from them from the Official HTC site because they had it in the databes there when who and how did he get it.
Lets make it short here is the reason WHY this heppans and not only to me they are already familiar with that wrong reading.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virginia P.: Great, Tsalta. Based on your IMEI number, I was able to check in my system that you have an original HTC Device manufactured in the US and bought through our website.
The message you are having is not an issue, your phone is in perfect state. The database of some applications does not have all the sub-versions of the processor references. The mainboard does not handle like in the computer that has apart ram processor and video. They handle something called SoC (System on a Chip), therefore the processor handles the whole system. But as there are so many versions depending on number of cores, type of video, amount of ram, etc. the application may not recognize the type of processor.
But, I promise you, there's nothing wrong with your phone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats the answer its something related with the revision version Some programs read it on some devices some cant handle it BUT all the device are THE SAME.

Is there any hope for Pixel XL - G-2PW2100 - Android 8.0 to be Bootloader Unlocked

Hello Gurus,
As the subject says, I made the mistake of a hasty ebay purchase for a black 128GB XL running Android 8.0 Build OPR3.170623.007. I was happy with the thought of making it my primary music machine by enabling the Apt-X HD codec and pairing with in-car Apt-HD receiver for car AUX speakers. Wanted to install ARISE Audio to be able to pump up the sound quality.
Found out that model no. G-2PW2100 is actual the Verizon/Project Fi model which is beyond any salvation attempts now.
However all of it turned out to be a pipe dream, when i started with the basics on rooting, to unlock the boot loader. Found out the OEM boot loader unlocking option in Developer settings is greyed out and it will not accept the ADB commands
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
or
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
anymore.
The command
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid
returns
Code:
VZW__001
If it would have been 7.0.x then I could have tried dePixel8 , however that not a possibly anymore.
Having read all over the forum for various posts, can I conclude there is no solution as of now and it is an expensive paper weight for the time being, or is it any ray of hope move forward to.
Thanks for your answers.

Their is no solution as of now sunshine team don't have any plans to attempt an unlock for newer than 7.1

Thanks, you verified my worst fears. So money lost, time to write off this sunk cost from personal accounts.
Would keep a lookout for a workable unit now, till then will try to sell it off.
Thanks.

I mean, it's still a pixel. It'll get updates for awhileeeeeee.

You mean the bootloader for G-2PW2100 - 128GB - 8.0 can be unlocked. Has someone used this service. Do i have to send my mobile or the solution would be provided online.
Would be nice if you can PM with the link to the actual service.
On the other hand, I guess only taobao is the place where I can see Pixel XL 128 with Android version 7.1 sold, as they are not to be found on US/UK ebay.
A couple of queries I need to know to pin point the exact replacement I am looking for:
1. I assume the model should be either G-2PW2100 (either verizon or google) <= ROM 7.1 or a G-2PW2200 (any service provider) with any ROM version till 8.1.
2. Can a G-2PW2100 <= 7.1 once having a bootloader unlocked, be upgraded to 8.0 and above, and keep having the BL unlocked. If once after unlock, it is locked again either on the same ROM version or upgraded to higher ROM version, would it still be possible to unlock it again.
3. Any possible link or direction where an unlocked 128GB XL is available for purchase.
Thanks for your replies.

Well thanks, has anyone tried it to be really working for Verizon Pixel XL. Any success reports.
The website which opens from your URL has a clunky UX, I cannot select and get to know any service details, even with translation. If i select an option with 150Yuan, it takes me back to a webpage where no further journey to go.
Purchasing on Taobao anyways aint possible for me as the whole process and interface is in chinese, and I dont know if they accept international credit card.
Would like to know more information about it.
====================================
Got it, the URL is for the mobile version of the Taobao website, hence strange display on PC. Am trying to search it via PC.
===================================
Ok so what I am able to gather is these services are for XL running 7.1.x , and mine is already updated to 8.0 ,so cant say for sure it will work or not. For 7.1.x we dont need a paid service, it was already doable by DePixel8 if I am not wrong.
Thanks.

Thats my assumption as well, however trying to get in touch with TaoBao seller to see what miracle they offer.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that even if you downgrade to 7.1, the security patch level would render the dePixel exploit useless. As far as I know, you can't downgrade security patch levels.
Try selling it on Swappa and then buy a Google version off the site.

Please do keep us posted on the TaoBao mission because if it is possible to still do this I am very interested as well... I went on the site to that link and hit the translation on my Chrome browser via laptop and I couldn't make out everything it was informing of but I thought I saw something about it was illegal to ship or prohibited for the goods in my region... I live in the eastern shore of the US... what gives? I am not giving up so easily. I would sell the phone but I am my family's plan and i just pay them cash every month.. so I am sort of stuck with the phone atm myself as well..
Anyways... good luck to all who are still fishing around for an exploit.

Well, i called quits for the TaoBao mission, was a pipe dream anyways. I was able to sell it for a good price. So case closed for making any mistake like this again without reading enough around on the forum about which exact model to buy for my rooting/vipering adventures.
Have another query in mind , will post a new thread for it, while on the hunt for a Google branded set.

Downgrading from Android 10 to 9 locked bl

I am stuck at the latest version of android 10 (.618) on my xperia xz2 compact H8314 and I have a big problem using whatsapp and other messaging apps like messenger and telegram, basically the voice notes sounds very low, I can record audio using sony audio recorder and works fine but the other apps dont, I have been looking for this thread all over the xz2 forum but could not find it so thats why I decided to create it, I have also looked in other webpages but it seems that are very few mentions of it, I found this one and tried to follow it, but I failed in my attempt.
https:// xperiafirmware. com/downgrade/
Any help/advise is welcome and even questions of what I have already tried.
I thought about any other alternatives like fixing the problem in Android 10 but I couldnt either.
Edit: I get the next error message when I am flashing the .ftf file that I downloaded there:
"Those data are not in the FSC scrip and will be skipped:
BOOT,DSP,FSG,MODEMST1,MODEMST2,RDIMAGE.
Do you want to continue?"
then I try to turn on my phone and get the message "your phone is corrupt and it wont start" or something like that.
I have owned several xperia phones in the past, the last one was xperia X compact and I remember (I could be wrong) that I was able to make a downgrade without unlocking my bootloader.

I succesfully downgraded from 10 to 9 using sonys flashtool with bootloader unlocked. But I'm not sure if it's possible to do it without unlocking at the moment. Why not just unlock the bootloader?

Would be helpful if:
Where to get the Sony flashtool. (link?)
You could provide a link to how to unlock the bootloader. and
You could describe the "Downside" to unlocking the bootloader. What "no longer works"? Such as, will it no longer apply factory updates? Will Digital Rights Management (DRM) no longer work?
Seriously, my XZ2 Compact H8214 keeps reminding me (several times a day) that a firmware update is available, and I am sort of "scared to death" to do it. All I read are negative comments about what Android 10 has done to ruin people's phone. Without a way to "go back", I am seriously thinking of just ignoring these messages for weeks and weeks.

Well first of all, unlocking bootloader voids warranty, then a number of several sony technologies will for sure stop working, Basically all proprietary technologies like audio, video and most importan thing, CAMERA enhancements, how I do know this? well because I have been reading a lot lately and also since some years ago, and by experience because back in the day I had an xperia x compact and I didnt remember to backup DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.
Anyway I have found a way to downgrade from android 10 to 9 without unlocking the bootloader, I am not sure about if I should make a new post with specific instructions( a guide) or just write them in this post.

Oh, yes. Please share. The more details the better. (Assuming that people "know basic things" is often incorrect. The things I don't know is FAR too big to list.)

I have downgraded from 10 to 9 using official flashtool from sony (with bootloader unlocked) and my camera, audio, video etc. still works just fine. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think that by doing it through the tool provided by sony itself it shouldn't break anything. Which in my case, it didn't. Btw, thanks for the guide ?

Or maybe you don't know what you do, and happy for the nothing.
If you unlock the bootloader, you loose the TA partition (DRM keys). Your camera quality is worst, and some features lost (ps4 etc).

I just picked up an H8314 for use on Verizon in the US and it has Android 10 already.
@Tom 23 can you explain more about what you did? Details? Are you using an H8314? On Verizon? I've read in the XZ2 forums supposedly now unlocking on Android 10 still breaks some stuff but now not the camera?
@williamgrant can you provide/link a list of exactly what breaks when you unlock the bootloader? Perhaps what breaks depends on what version of Android you're on when you unlock?
I'm trying to determine/weigh the pros and cons of unlocking to root are, if its worth it, what am I giving up...

Do you notice specific problems with the H8314 on Verizon? I have been delaying the Android 10 firmware update because I cannot seem to find many reports of "how it works on Verizon".

I've only been using it for a little over 36 hours, but so far nothing glaringly wrong. Keep in mind thought that 36 hours ago I was using a 2013 Motorola Moto X running Android 5.1... now I'm on Android 10... So there's probably stuff that is a bug that I don't recognize is a bug!
My wife's had her H8314 on Verizon for about 6 months and it's on Android 10 as well. If she's not complained to me about anything then that's good! Then again, she's likely not at the same "level" as XDA forum members are!

I too am interested in how to roll back to Android 9 if it can be accomplished reasonably easily without giving up a bunch of stuff.
I've been plagued with issues on Android 10. Even with the most recent update things have not improved. The two things most annoying to me are the drastically reduced battery life (more than halved!! it doesn't even last a full day anymore!!) and the fact that MMS do not download correctly all the time anymore. I've also noticed that camera quality has gone down somehow, even though Android 10 was supposed to improve it...

but I had a problem, I downloaded (using XPERIAFIRM) 52.0.A.11.32 South Korea version (I'm from Italy, but Italy version is not available) , every thing work fine except LTE (4G) signal, as frequency of two country is not compatible, then I installed Android 10 again and all was ok.
So... now my question is: do you know where I can found 52.0.A.11.32 image customized for Italy?
Regards,,,Carlo

Hello. I downloaded some month ago rom for UK via Xperifirm. I deleted already ta-files according to description, and I added newsflasher (version 20) into same folder. I zipped complete prepared folder and uploaded it now. Should be okay for Italy.

Hi landsome. Probably I still have, but I am on a trip and I can't check this now.
I can do this not before Monday. When I'll find I will upload on Monday...

Question ROG phone 6 "Failed to unlock [24803]"

Hi,
i'm trying to unlock my ROG phone 6 with the official "Unlock Device App" from ASUS, but i alway get the error "Failed to unlock your device, please try again later.[24803]". I also don't see the "OEM unlocking" setting in my Developer settings.
I'm using Android 13, Build number: WW_33.0610.2810.104
Does anyone know how to solve this?

same issue

same issues

Same issue on asus zenfone 8, i wonder if it's something with asus servers, heard that happened before

I picked up a 5s Pro thats on Android 13 and I get the same error. No clue what's going on unfortunately.

I am having the same issue with the ROG 6. I opened a support case with Asus but no response.

yes i have same issue too. ( i have rog 6 pro tencent edition. )

The reason why people can't unlock bootloader now is that Asus's service, to which the application makes a request to, is under maintenance from May 2. Check the message from moderator on Asus forum.

Yes, they finally responded to me with this explanation but refuse to provide a date when the maintenance will be completed.

It's that great customer care that ASUS is known for

From what I've read... We don't have a date to be able to use our unlocked devices, is that it?

Asus replied today. All they said is that it will be restored sometime in the CY Q3 timeframe (July-Aug-Sept)
