PSA: Don't give out your build.prop file - Honor View 20 Questions & Answers

Just a quick warning for users not to give out the build.prop file from their Honor View 20 unless you really know what you're doing. Often it's a scam to obtain personal information that can be used to claim your Fortnite skin without your knowledge or consent. The promotion was designed to only work with Honor View 20 owners by linking the redeem code to the hardware serial of the physical device. The build.prop contains the necessary information for someone without an Honor View 20 to spoof your device ID and claim your code. If someone asks for your build.prop without giving any reason, it's probably because of this.
Note that this will also allow them to claim any other promotional rewards using your device ID should there be any similar events in the future.

Thank you for the info.
I think without root is not possible to get the build.pro. anyway many thanks for the advice.
It was really strange having people asking for that file when it seems there are not really developers.
I don't understand what people can do just to get a Fortnite skin. Like people that want the skin to be a gift for another one
Thank you!

You don’t have to give out your imei and all of that. People just want to know if it’s like hero2lte or crown2lte etc. And what type of build it is like the s10 SM-G975F. It’s not to steal any info from the actual person. People can just create fake imei’s and stuff so you don’t need to provide that

The hardware code is literally printed on the back of the device, and the ROM build number is available in the settings>about page, neither of them require extraction of the build.prop file.
I also noticed that your account was created moments before posting that comment, and the account that upvoted your comment also appears to be an alt. Strange...

Hi there,
I am looking for a developer who can code me a simple app, the app will be similar to rat on PC.

You're not asking for a RAT that the user knows it's existence, what you are asking for is a hacking tool, unless it's made for a company so its monitor its (WORK DEVICES) like work computers to make sure the employees are not on Facebook and are actually working, what you're asking for is pretty much illegal and against the law specially that it's a personal device. spying on call logs is a federal felony If you want to "purchase a RAT" for hacking which is pretty much what you are asking for, XDA is not the place for that.

well maybe you got me wrong, its for small company of mine. i provide local small package shipping solution. i have 5 employees who handle delivery via cycle. they pickup packages and get senders information and receivers information, since we are local company we dont take much information from our clients. we do not ask our clients whats inside the package, but when the receiver picks the package we take 2 pictures. 1 picture of receiver and 1 picture of receivers photo identity card. but this isnt the reason for the software i require.
My company also provides a special "emergency pickup" service when the client needs fast delivery. they directly call one of my employees and they take care of everything and take cash money from clients and bring it to company house.
but i have a huge sales drop for last 2 months but my employees are working same as before. i need to track this sales, then i came up with an idea of having a app which can track but my employees wont know what i am tracking, they will know that i am tracking them.

Feature request, Feedback for upcoming EMUI or Honor devices (meetup discussion)

Hi Folks,
As you know, there are lot meet ups happening in India for Honor/Huawei users, currently for Honor 6X and Honor 8 Pro only, but we may see these coming to other devices as well based on the response. It may be limited for older devices where software support is not possible but eventually newer devices like, Honor 5C, Honor 8, Honor 6X and honor 8 pro would be included (if they get more requests for 5C and 8).
In this thread, lets discuss on various points/feedback and feature request that we want to raise it to the Honor teams during meetup and eventually taken up to the R&D team for consideration to enhance the end user experience in a positive way.
Anybody attending these meet ups with Honor team can put forward these points and we wish these points will be considered to provide a happy and positive user experience.
Creating a thread in Honor 8 Pro section as well so that 8 pro user can fill their points there and we can refer any of these thread for unique points to proceed with.
8 Pro Thread
Good luck.
Attached is the list of point raised during Honor meet up in Chennai and compiled by our fellow member @amulbaby (Abhishek)
View attachment Points_from_Chennai_Meet-up.pdf
8 pro thread- https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/feature-request-feedback-upcoming-emui-t3669807
As we already discussed on other thread few of the points
removal of knuckle feature
camera lag on EMUI 5 (while opening only)
Over exposed image while using front camera
timely Kernel sources for all the device
Double tap to wake up
uniform OTA acorss all devices
Expecting for expert opinion, new points, feedback, feature request from @gopinaidu77 @VenuGopalu077 @PalakMi @RedSkull23 @clsA @jsbeyond @amulbaby add other if I missed anyone.

Well to be perfectly honest after owning 2 H5x and an Honor 8 I have no intentions of ever owning another Honor device.
The company has all but abandon it's past phone owners and all their interested in is you buying their next phone.
Their is no reason to back or support Honor and all their broken promises. The don't even respect their own employees
and they for Damn sure never listen to the Users request and feedback.
At the prices they are charging for their devices you could be using a LG G6 / HTC 10 / ZTE axon a Nokia 6 or any number of Moto or samsung phones (My kids Galaxy S8 plus was $525 with trade in and just $24 a month with samsung financing)

A transparent and open feedback mate :good:
First of all, thanks for asking my opinion about. I've read the PDF file attached and i found it very interesting. Plus, seeing such a relationship between OEM and customers is great. That's how things should always be.
Aside what has been already told, and the thing which i agree most is the uniformity of updates on all devices to ensure a quality performance to every device, I'd suggest to being more developer friendly (don't worry, I've already seen that in the points declared above, the release of kernel sources in time is already there). You shouldn't leave developers with tied hands, and anyway the device would be always bought from Huawei/Honor, so why mind too much at which OS will run on the phone? I buy the phone for hardware characteristics overall, what matters for real is that the user would feel free to do whatever it wants with the phone, once that it has been payed. Next; ensuring a stable security patch update without having to download the full package would be nice third: things like NFC chip present in the device but disabled in some countries (luckily I'm not one of the involved) should never happens. I understand about the call recording because some countries take it easier compared to others, but i think that the NFC technology is the same (or almost) in every country, so why disable it?
As i'll remind other features, I'll come back to speak about them. At the moment nothing else to say

Exactly mate. Thats why i said uniform OTA and similar EMUI for all variants if they use same hardware. Also OTA can be same across all devices.
First of all i want to say that honor is doing a good act.. Tgis meetup thing is very positive but i want them to really implement this and the results should be positive..
1. Double tap to wakeup on kirin based devices
2. Quick and firm OTA updates for all regions as i feel that Pakistan region is ignored and dont get updates fasters.
3. Should provide 2 major upgrades on a device.. Means 2 year full support.

Would be both a work in less to do by them, and a better way to communicate with other devices and so developing a more synergetic compatibility with various devices by the same OEM. Sounds more like something futuristic however ahahah. Jokes aside, some model surely has and will have particular features that are present only in models that the hardware would permit, like more options for a better shot on camera as an hypothesis. Then it'd be sufficient to add in the OS some strings as "show this option if camera sensor x is true" and "show not this option if camera sensor x is false" or something like that, like some apps and OS already do from many time (like Greenify and the alternative lock-screen option that is shown if is a fingerprint sensor is detected, in example).
I have two things to speak about:
1- honor made their devices totally hard to unlock and even harder to recover if bricked, I was wondering why they won't make it easy like Oneplus or Google?!
2- is about EMUI, I want Huawei to leave the lockscreen and notification panel just what Google intended (they can skin it however they)
The way how EMUI handle notification and lockscreen notifications is pretty bad.
I want them to fix these two points, and if they still continue with that.
I'm seriously going to sell my honor 8 and get Xiaomi mi A1

General Samsung HACKED

Obviously, this is concerning. BUT...
"according to videocardz, the hackers gained access to"
- source code for every Trusted Applet (TA) installed in Samsung’s TrustZone environment used for sensitive operations (e.g. hardware cryptography, binary encryption, access control)
- algorithms for all biometric unlock operations
- bootloader source code for all recent Samsung devices
- confidential source code from Qualcomm
- source code for Samsung’s activation servers
- full source code for technology used for authorizing and authenticating Samsung accounts, including APIs and services"
So they have the bootloaders...and COULD help the devs unlock them for rooting.
* fingers crosses *
Lol, to plug all the new holes most will panic update as soon as Samsung releases the updates.
On the top of the Sammy holes to plug list will be a new bootloader lockout strategy, more difficult then ever before.
"You have attempted to unlock the bootloader.
This Samsung will self-destruct in 10 seconds.
Good luck, Mr. Phelps."
These hackers serve no one but themselves; thieves stealing not just from Samsung but Samsung's customers as well.
Our net gain is not just zero, it's a huge net loss because of Samsung's bumbling incompetence.

People will ABSOLUTELY update ASAP. Fair reasoning, but also Sammy WILL plug that possible loophole.
Just sayin, MAYBE a hacker in the XDA community...possible.

Who knows? There's no telling if the code has been altered. The source is a big not to be trusted red flag.
Personally I wouldn't touch that hot potato.
This is for all to see. This is the "Official" XDA stance on this matter as per the Administrator staff. So please be mindful of this, and if you think a member is using this illegally acquired information, then please report it ASAP as none of this leak should find it's way onto XDA. And please feel free to link this post for other members to see if applicable.
Well people can ask questions about the leak, could it lead to this or that getting hacked etc (Knox etc) and theoretical discussions can take place.
BUT, we are not here to participate in a high profile hack and sharing of stolen data. For all I know these hackers have some of my data along with that of thousands of our members. Even Knox security is a concern to everyone here.
Now if this were just a matter of hacking that allows access to a device, root etc., then we have always argued that as owners of devices we should have a right to get the most from our own devices. That does not include sharing personal data, sharing illegally obtained security information or coding that very clearly would be illegal to share.
We have sometimes allowed information that is freely available on the net to be used to allow individual users / developers to get better access to their own devices, but this leak potentially goes way beyond finding a way for individuals to root their phones and XDA must not be used to share indiscriminate mass amounts of data which would breach laws in most countries and likely includes personal individual information.
XDA is like this.................
"After examining a door lock I have found a way you can pick your front door lock, try it if you like, it might help you if you lose your key."
XDA is not like this ...
"After examining a door lock, I have found a way to pick locks and I got into a shop and stole thousands of things. Would you like some? Also, would you let me come into your house and invite people in so I can tell them where to get stolen goods?"

most of us is really just looking to unlock the bootloaders to grant access to certain parts of the phone and reduce samsung e waste, but i get it, ethics and all...
Not sure that such a strong stance on this is right here. Given that development in the past has often benefitted from leaks and "illegally acquired" information. To say that none of the leak will ever make it's way here is just like trying to deny the inevitable.
I personally look forward to seeing what this brings.
And to be honest no one is using anything just discussing

if someone uses this info to unlock bootloaders for us, you want us to snitch on them? what about all the threads have ever existed where insiders allow us to pay them for unlock tokens? all the threads where exploits that have been found from illegal leaks?

There is a huge difference between reverse engineering and posting stolen information. We also still actively encourage and host threads of reverse engineered "stuff", how else do you think we have TWRP, ROMs, Root, etc..?
It will be extremely difficult to find out, how much reverse engineering or stolen information is in a future bootloader hack ...

Question [CLOSED] Is it Possible to Change IMEI on Red magic 8 PRO ?

I'm considering to buy a Red Magic 8 pro. In my country I have to pay $500 tax in order to use this phone. Which doesn't make any sense.
So, is it possible to change IMEI ? Have anyone done that before?
I'm not sure because of new Processor & Android 13.
Why would you want to change imei besides doing something illegal?
There is possiblity for that. But we don`t talk about it nomaly, always it used by bad person.
my imei is broken, how can I restore both imei from the phone box? please dm me and I can pay for remote services
MOD ACTION:
@alihaider008
Thread closed since XDA doesn't allow discussions about changing IMEI which is illegal in quite a few countries. Please check Rule 9:
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.

General Oppo MSM Tools has fallen today - I've hacked it

Hello fellow developers and OnePlus users,
I come bearing some exciting news that could be a game-changer for those of us in the custom development community. As many of you are aware, the MSM Download Tool, a significant asset for unbricking and flashing OnePlus devices, has been restricted in recent iterations of OnePlus devices for the last few years, following the merger of OnePlus and Oppo. This move limited the tool's access to authorized service center employees, effectively locking out regular users and enthusiasts.
Today, I am pleased to announce that I have managed to bypass these restrictions, unlocking the MSM Download Tool for the OnePlus 11 and possibly the OnePlus 10 as well, although the latter remains untested at the moment. (EDIT : A few people reported that it does not works with the OnePlus 10, thus it is unclear if it has been tested with EDL packages)
This breakthrough restores the ability to fix bricked devices ourselves, a feature that was greatly appreciated by the tech enthusiast community and was a significant factor in OnePlus's popularity within these circles.
What has been achieved ?
- Log in using any credentials, and it will work
- Select an official EDL package and flash it on a Oneplus 11 (Including rebranding, works perfectly and OTAs works perfectly)
- Stability trough time : Oppo will not be able to fix it in current versions of Download Tool. The vulnerable ones will work forever. We can consider Oneplus 11 safe to that aspect.
However, I want to make a few things clear:
Limited Release: For the time being, I will not be publishing the code publicly. My reasons for this decision are twofold. First, I do not want Oppo to become aware of the bypass and fix it, preventing future use of the tool. Second, the majority of users do not have a need for this tool, and its misuse could potentially lead to more harm than good. If you accidentally brick your phone while flashing a ROM or something, reach your local authorised service/service center. There also are less moral service providers who offer remote flashing services for as low as $4.
Availability to Developers: If you are an experienced and recognized developer working on OnePlus 10 or 11 devices, you may access the unlocked tool by direct messaging me. Please provide proof of your work on these devices (commits, repositories, GitHub profile). I believe that having access to this tool will be a significant aid in our development efforts.
Advice for General Users: For regular users who might need to unbrick their OnePlus 10 or 11 devices, I recommend seeking the help of professionals.
I may consider releasing this solution publicly once we get stable builds of LineageOS for the Oneplus 11 series, but for now, this is the course of action I feel is best for the community. Thank you for understanding, and I am looking forward to seeing the exciting developments that will come from this!
If you're wondering why I am not releasing the code publicly, please read this post. I'm the first to be sorry about this, but I think this is the best that could be done for the community.
Notes :
- PLEASE, DO NOT ASK FOR THE TOOL IF YOU ARE NOT A DEVELOPER.
- I WILL NEVER ASK MONEY TO PROVIDE THIS CRACK. I DID IT FOR THE COMMUNITY. I'M NOT PUBLISHING ANY DONATE LINKS EITHER.
- I WILL NEVER PUBLISH THE OPPO DOWNLOADTOOL, ONLY MY CODE TO MAKE IT WORK, YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND THE DOWNLOADTOOL SOFTWARE YOURSELF
What a dik move to make it available only for people you choose to.
We will see how long this topic will last before getting deleted for promoting cracked software.

By your reply I assume you are not a developer. If making it available "only for people I choose to" means not Oppo, heck yeah. Of course I do not want them to study the vulnerability and patch it in future versions of DownloadTool.
By the way, I am not promoting "cracked software" as the software is untouched. I will provide the crack as a standalone solution, and developers will be able to use any genuine version of DownloadTool they want. My solution will simply allow developers to restore a device they bricked while testing their ROM or kernel without relying in Oppo/Realme authentication (because yes, any authentication works)
And if this topic gets deleted, I'll release the solution elsewhere. But that would be a sad outcome and a bad move from XDA by showing support for practices hostile to developers.

Why would random Joes some of whom may turn out to be BBK/Oppo/OnePlus employees get access to the tool?
What's dickish about investing your intelligence, work and time and sharing the results only with the people that you choose? I've no problem with that at all.

Some people never learn. If we want this solution to hold for a few years to come, we have to take precautions. This is for the best, and if Oppo finds the vulnerability by themselves, of course I will release the solution. The sole fact I opened a public thread could gain attention from Oppo and force them to review their security, so it is easy to figure out what's going to happen if they can study my solution.
This 0-day would be really easy to fix for them, and that's not what we want. If they can't study the solution, they'll have to figure it out themselves.

I really hope the moderators will understand how important this is for us. Smart move to not publish it publicly, this thread has to stay in my honest opinion.

I'll be honest, I'm not very familiar with the technical aspect of this.
@oppo_edl_hacker Welcome to XDA. If you have not already, please read the Forum Rules linked in my signature, and take special note of Rules 6, 7, 9, and 11:
6. Do not post or request warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.
7. Do not sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
The buying, selling, trading and / or exchanging of any item is now prohibited on XDA, in any forum or via Private Messages. We now use www.swappa.com
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if both of the following conditions are met:
A) The site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership, who actively maintains an XDA-Developers support thread(s) / posts, related to the download.
B) The site is a relatively small, personal website without commercial advertising / links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)

Hi, good evening !
The software used to flash Oppo's phone is an internal software distributed to some phone repair stores. It needs an authentication. This software was previously publicly available with no authentication, but as OnePlus has been acquired by Oppo, their policy changed and they now use the Oppo software with authentication. This makes it impossible for developers to recover their devices themselves when testing their experimental ROMs and kernels. This is the cause of a lack of custom ROMs and kernels for OnePlus devices in the last two years. This has also lead to a situation where some corrupt people ask for money (from 4$ to 75$) to remotely flash phones using TeamViewer. This frequently happens throughout XDA and there are countless examples of that.
1. I do not intend to distribute copywrited software, but only my code, which is taking action in the operating system networking stack and not the OPPO software.
2. I only distribute this code to active developers working on OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 11, so they can quickly recover their devices if something goes wrong.
3. My code does not constitutes piracy as it does not includes copywrited code at all. It is then legal. I do not distribute the original software and developers are intended to find it by themselves. This software has already been leaking for years and is easy to find online.
4. I solely do this to help the community, and do not sell anything. I will never ask for money for this, and do not have a donation link. My code will always be free for developers.
As we say, code is speach. I wrote code that can help people, and I'm offering it to developers. I just want to avoid OPPO from obtaining my code, as they could change things in the future to further restrict developers from using their devices as they intend to.

Thank you for the response. Please respond to the PM I have sent you.
Utterly stellar work @oppo_edl_hacker
Heaps of praise to you... Your deserve a tonne of credit for this... And it should categorically be protected.
Thank you for proving me wrong, I didn't think this day would come.
Legend.

Why would random Joes some of whom may turn out to be BBK/Oppo/OnePlus employees get access to the tool?
What's dickish about investing your intelligence, work and time and sharing the results only with the people that you choose? I've no problem with that at all.

Since the current tool is working and its only an additional crack it does not change anything at all - they cannot disable it.
Also, it will just come out sooner or later, intentionally or via leak so why artificially make a closed circle on this I have no idea but everybody can do whatever they want and my single opinion will not change anything.

Just respect his wishes...after all we had nothing before...
Don't want a back and forth, the guy who made this possible wants this to happen and unless we want oppos attention before it's even fully realised I agree we should tread lightly.

Hello fellow developers and OnePlus users,
I come bearing some exciting news that could be a game-changer for those of us in the custom development community. As many of you are aware, the MSM Download Tool, a significant asset for unbricking and flashing OnePlus devices, has been restricted in recent iterations of OnePlus devices for the last few years, following the merger of OnePlus and Oppo. This move limited the tool's access to authorized service center employees, effectively locking out regular users and enthusiasts.
Today, I am pleased to announce that I have managed to bypass these restrictions, unlocking the MSM Download Tool for the OnePlus 11 and possibly the OnePlus 10 as well, although the latter remains untested at the moment. This breakthrough restores the ability to fix bricked devices ourselves, a feature that was greatly appreciated by the tech enthusiast community and was a significant factor in OnePlus's popularity within these circles.
What has been achieved ?
- Log in using any credentials, and it will work
- Select an official EDL package and flash it on a Oneplus 11 (Including rebranding, works perfectly and OTAs works perfectly)
- Stability trough time : Oppo will not be able to fix it in current versions of Download Tool. The vulnerable ones will work forever. We can consider Oneplus 10 and 11 safe to that aspect.
However, I want to make a few things clear:
Limited Release: For the time being, I will not be publishing the code publicly. My reasons for this decision are twofold. First, I do not want Oppo to become aware of the bypass and fix it, preventing future use of the tool. Second, the majority of users do not have a need for this tool, and its misuse could potentially lead to more harm than good. If you accidentally brick your phone while flashing a ROM or something, reach your local authorised service. There also are less moral service providers who offer flashing services for as low as $4.
Availability to Developers: If you are an experienced and recognized developer working on OnePlus 10 or 11 devices, you may access the unlocked tool by direct messaging me. Please provide proof of your work on these devices from Github. I believe that having access to this tool will be a significant aid in our development efforts.
Advice for General Users: For regular users who might need to unbrick their OnePlus 10 or 11 devices, I recommend seeking the help of professionals.
I may consider releasing this solution publicly once we get stable builds of LineageOS for the Oneplus 10 and Oneplus 11 series, but for now, this is the course of action I feel is best for the community. Thank you for understanding, and I am looking forward to seeing the exciting developments that will come from this!
Notes :
- DO NOT DM ME IF YOU ARE NOT A DEVELOPER, YOU'LL ONLY GET BLOCKED

- I WILL NEVER ASK MONEY TO PROVIDE THIS CRACK. I DID IT FOR THE COMMUNITY. I'M NOT PUBLISHING ANY DONATE LINKS EITHER.
- The software is original and untouched, it is not hex edited. I am well aware of the hex hack allowing some sort of login, this solution is not based on that at all. The crack works using smarter ways (networking).
- I WILL NEVER PUBLISH THE OPPO DOWNLOADTOOL, ONLY MY CODE TO MAKE IT WORK, YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND THE DOWNLOADTOOL SOFTWARE YOURSELF
- NO THIS IS NOT FAKE AND I CAN PROVE IT EASILY

any proof of works, or it is just a login bypass similar to any other crack, the main Problem is SLA, if you are able to bypass Oplus server to get signature back then really thanks

They cannot prevent already released tools from working but they can patch future versions and prevent yet to be released phones from being flashed. If we keep it closed circle, maybe OnePlus 12, OnePlus 13 will be able to be flashed. If I release the code today, we'll be sure they will not.

Some developers are starting to report that it indeed works for them so don't worry, if it is fake, it will quickly get known
I will discuss with some developers to release a video showing the software in action, while preventing the vulnerability to be shown.
