I am going to implement Jtag to QMAT, so we need Beta Testers.
Are you :
1. Using Segger J-Link ARM or any clone (H-Link, JT-Link, etc..) ?
2. Experienced in Jtagging ?
3. Have a phone ready to jtag using a MSM Chipset (jtag pinouts etc. available) ?
Then join the QMAT Jtag beta team, mail your JTAG Serialnumber to [email protected].
Cya,

Small update :
--------------
Right now we're doing a lot of bugfixes regarding spc / sp and usercode search, but also a lot of bugfixes for efs read. EFS read will now be done fully automatically. Of course, we take bugs serious and due to official support of lg ks20 in the next qmat release, we are also fixing all those nasty timeouts that messed up some extracted data.
So right now, it's bugfixing weeks. After that we will continue on jtag interface and all other feature requests you brave people sent us.
Cya,
Viper BJK
what about KU990 (which have MSM6280)?
I guess KU990 will also be fine
But I can only give official support for ks20, as it's the only lg mobile I got here to work with.
Cya,
Viper BJK
Right now we're doing some beta testing qmat 4.23.
After all issues are fixed, there will be another great release including a lot of improvements and features.
Cya,
Viper BJK
New version 4.23 out
--------------------
What's new :
-------------
- Complete Com Rewrite, fixing timeout issues
- Read Memory in Download Mode / Display Memory Partitions in Download Mode (even ones other tools cannot download )
- Find SP password in non standard QC AMSS Firmware
- CRC30 bugfixes
- Added SP function detection
- Automatic EFS read size detection
- Usercode search / Advanced SPC search
- Official LG KS20 support
- Load QC Bootloader in HEX and get address automatically
- EFS Backup to ZIP bugfixes
- EFS Read Factory Fixes
- Bootloader NAND read bugfixes
- a lot more ...
Cya,
Viper BJK
Small update on progress :
--------------------------
"Uhoh ... bad things happen and sometimes the world isn't perfect."
This message is intended for those who work with QC EFS and QMAT.
Several ways to read out EFS exist. And the one from QMAT wasn't perfect at all. Sometimes, sniffing usb data gets you nowhere ... we had to act professional. In fact, after some heavy researches and reversing of firmware, I can now confirm that there is not only "ONE" EFS read at all.
So next version to be released will hopefully introduce two-way-efs for efs explorer to be used with all known qc types. And of course I had to write a lot of fixes for efs RAW/Factory read that I didn't knew before ....
Expect the next version 4.24 to be not only a lot more stable than all versions before ... but will also feature REAL efs dump
Cya,
Viper BJK
Small update :
--------------
Boys and girls,
version 4.24 will be really new. I rewrote complete com/usb port stack and added a lot of new features, like a new command database, gui improvements, efs generic and subsystem browsing, safe factory efs, new bootloader interface, etc....
Trust me, this version will fix a lot of crashes and hangs
To prevent any bugs still being in it, we're doing severe bugtesting right now.
Cya,
Viper BJK

I saw it in the original forum and to start i'm from Bulgaria (South-Eastern Europe), interested mostly in replacing/messing around with LG's AMSS system, the bootloaders will be great, but i'm realist so the illusions are out, i have KU990 not a real reverse-engineer, but i know basic stuff (i was developing in PHP about an year) for how system works.

Well the more beta testers we have, the better
Small update :
--------------
Version 4.24 is almost done and about to be released at the end of the week approximately. It seems it is a lot more stable and works way better than any qmat version ever before.
Finally, we were able to reverse whole EFS read, add a new alternate EFS factory read for newer MSM >8xxx, add EFS Browsing not only for generic devices but also for devices with only subsys ... and of course added features like rename directory / change modes.
Also we did some gui changes for easy recognition of diag commands.
You can now even cancel running diag processes ! *thanks to adfree for the hint*
So expect Version 4.24 to bring you great new features and more stability

Download: www.wp7roottools.com
Today I am proud to announce the immediate availability of WP7 Root Tools 0.9 alpha and WP7 Root Tools SDK 0.1!
WP7 Root Tools 0.9 brings true Root Access to devices with stock ROM's, but it also works on devices with custom ROM's and Full Unlock. Your device needs to be Interop Unlocked to use WP7 Root Tools!
This is still an alpha-release, because there are a lot of new hacks and the tools are still not feature complete! I have rewritten about 75% of all code from the previous release. So before you install WP7 Root Tools you should make a backup of your device. WP7 Root Tools will make changes to system settings and, although this has been tested, it is still possible that a problem occurs. In that case you want to have a recent backup of your device. Installing WP7 Root Tools will be your own responsibility. The author of WP7 Root Tools and the SDK cannot be held responsible for any damages caused directly or indirectly by installing and using WP7 Root Tools or the SDK!
Windows Phone is a closed system to protect the user and his/her personal data from malware and to protect the intellectual property of the developers. The downside of this closed system is that homebrew developers are very limited in their ability to control and tweak a Windows Phone device. With WP7 Root Tools I attempt to open up the system in a gentle way, so that users stay in control of their device, while homebrew apps can get more control to get the maximum power out of your Windows Phone device!
WP7 Root Tools 0.9 now has a File Explorer, Registry Editor, Certificate Installer and a Policy Editor! Thanks to true Root Access on Windows Phone, this new version of WP7 Root Tools will work a lot faster than previous releases and it supports a lot more devices!
WP7 Root Tools should work on these devices:
- Samsung first and second generation devices
- LG devices
- HTC first generation devices with Mango v1 drivers (SPL 4.x or lower)
- Samsung first generation devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock
- HTC first generation devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock
On devices with stock ROM's WP7 Root Tools need to install Root Access. The first time it runs, a 2-phase-installation will start. The app will inform you to start the first install-phase. Then the device will reboot after a few seconds. After the reboot you need to start WP7 Root Tools again immediately! Then the second phase of the installation will start and your device will be rebooted again. After the second reboot you are ready to use WP7 Root Tools. You can use the Policy Editor to give other homebrew app a "trusted" status. With this you will give the app Root Access privileges. So be very careful to which app you give Root Access!! You are responsible for giving access to an app! If you are not sure, read the forums to decide if an app is trust-worthy.
I also created an SDK, which developers can use to profit from Root Access. It provides a way to gain access to the filesystem and the registry (and more) from their managed Silverlight application. No need to worry about COM interop and C++ anymore! The package contains a read-me with short instructions. More details and examples will follow soon! Over the last days Rafael Rivera from the Chevron WP7 team has tested the SDK and he is finishing up the first homebrew app that will use my SDK. He is planning to release his Backup-app soon.
I also need to thank some people for making this possible:
- My wife! (for having to put up with me while doing all this hacking!)
- YukiXDA (for helping me with research on policies)
- Justin Angel (for sending me a NOKIA)
- Cees Heim (for supplying an HTC device for testing)
- Rafael Rivera and Chevron WP7 team (for pioneering WP7 Unlocking)
- HD2Owner (for helping me make custom ROM's for testing)
- fiinix (for helping me with research on policies)
- Ultrashot
- xb0xm0d
- AndrewSh
- Ondraster
- Barin
- Football
- Cmonex
- GoodDayToDie
- Jaxbot
- Dennis Wilson
I will update the guides and manuals on www.wp7roottools.com and here on XDA in the next coming days. I need some time to update all of it.
Have fun with Homebrew now!

Previous Versions
Thanks for your great work. Do we need to uninstall previous versions before installing the latest version? I have .8, how do I install .9?
Great news, thanks a lot! Successfully installed on Focus and Surround, no problems at all.
But I've tried "BT file transfer" and "Opera mini" (after install I've enabled "trusted" status for the apps): both apps not working properly. Should we expect updated versions of these apps (built with your SDK) or it's some another issue?
Fantastic work, Heathcliff74. Oh man, this is going to be awesome.
Suggestion: use one of your reserved posts to compile a list of trusted apps that benefit from policy elevation.
Two that I've found so far (one of mine):
Root Webserver (in my sig) - runs better with Root Tools than ever before.
TouchXperience - gives way more access through WPDM.
Two others that are in development:
LockWidgets - the preview build has some bugs, but it can be run with Root Tools.
XapHandler - the test build has some known issues (can't install or update if the app is already installed) but fresh install works at least some of the time.
Awesome work! I can confirm that the install works perfectly on an LG Quantum.
Big day!
I need some free space in C:/ to make backup.

WP7 Root Tools will give Root Access to Silverlight apps. DFT BT and Opera Mini both use native executables. You can't give the executables root access with WP7 Root Tools (in fact, you only give the launchers Root Access). These apps could possibly be recompiled to run under TaskHost.exe (as all Silverlight apps do), but I'm not sure about the inner workings of the apps. You'd have to ask the developers.
I will investigate this matter. With all the hacks I have now, I should be able to give Root Access to executables too, but that needs more research.
Ciao,
Heathcliff74
@sensboston: Those tools both require additional native binaries. WP7 Root Tools elevates apps, including all the DLLs they load (which is how the SDK works - it's a homebrew DLL, similar to the old Native.dll and company). However, it doesn't work with out-of-process binaries. Opera requires an EXE (which is obviously its own process) and BT File Transfer requires a driver.
In theory, supporting these would be possible. They'd need to be signed, and the certificates added to the Code Integrity store, but that's already possible. However, they'd also need new policies added. The current version of Root Tool only supports modifying the policies for installed TaskHost (Silverlight/XNA, possibly including some native code) apps, not adding policies for other apps.
BTW, although it's very limited, it turns out that Application.GetResourceStream can be used on files outside the app (with sufficient permissions). That means, if you want to write an app that only needs to access existing files at known locations, you don't even need to mess with native code... although the Root Tools SDK will make it quite easy to do such apps anyhow.
Thanks HeatCliff

You can just reinstall. No need to uninstall. From this new version on (version after 0.9) you better do an "UPDATE". Not all xap-installers support updating. A lot of them will do a full-install-cycle. If you do a full-install-cycle, you'll loose the permissions and you will have to do the 2-phase-install sequence again. If you do an in-place-update, you will keep the permissions and everything keeps working as expected.

Hmm. are you interop unlocked? I'm no expert with HTC's but that versionnumber looks like your drivers are not that new and could possibly be supported. If you are not Interop Unlocked, then read the opening post of my Interop Unlock thread. At the end of that post is a section specifically for Verizon Trophy's

hi newbie in here...
i've just updated my old lumia1020 to the latest w10m version 10.0.15254.369
i was hoping that in this version that the static ip option was enabled by default...
i was wrong...
need static ip option badly since my home and office wifi need to manually configure the ip/dns setting before i can use the network...
is there any way to configure static ip without interop unlock
or is it safe to use wp internal to unlock root with my current w10m build on nokia lumia 1020?? i update them using iutool method

Do you have a simple tutorial with deleting and replacing tones in alarms? because I am just only using two different alarms.
I know this is really too late to ask nowadays... Thank you!
Update: The instructions below are for the AGM X1 eu version, for the AGM X1 International version follow this thread, it's a work in progress and not available yet.
As you might be aware the AGM X1 is a fantastic rugged android, aside from the great hardware, the source code of the phone is available to devs. The combination of excellent ruggedness, hardware and open source makes the AGM X1 "the best choice in phones" at the moment for me period.
Unfortunately the information on how to root and install the available Lineage OS port is not very clear
I spent a few hours trying to find the best place to start and it's quite difficult to find

Now here comes the difficult part, trying to decipher the following text
Text from thread (bad english)
Installation takes place in a similar way as inthis post, Except that you need to choose the same name! The fifth! The item and the installation of the root rights occurs automatically when you exit TWRP.

Also note that this forum is broken and not working correctly as a site (many issues including: no registration available and also the important link in the paragraph above does not work)https://forum-lw-1.xda-cdn.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Does any one have any advise please. Obviously I've checked the Manufacturers site they have not provided a driver. The chipset is Qualcomm MSM8952.

Hello, for the drivers, simply plug the phone on USB and select CD in options (where you can check 'simply reload' mtp etc ...)
On the computer you can install the drivers now
Hi Skill3r,
Recommended (MAYBE THE DRIVERS WORK ON OTHER VERSIONS OF WINDOWS, BUT LINUX IS SO MUCH EASIER/BETTER)
I gave up on Windows XP. Now I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 LTS and EVERYTHING IS CONNECTING TO THE COMPUTER with this guide (without going to qtadb installation)
http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/354-ubuntu-xenial-android-adb-fastboot-qtadb
p.s the vendor ID is "Qualcomm, Inc": with the code: 05c6 (it's in that github download in the link above, no need to add it specially just follow the guide)
The phone is recognized no special drivers required IT ALL THERE ALREADY! I took the commands from the bat file, changed (take away .exe e.g fastboot.exe to fastboot)
So the problem I'm getting now just after loading twrp with this command
fastboot boot recovery_AGM-X1_es_by_MD5dev.img
And this problem is............
That the touchscreen is unresponsive and I'm unable to check the box and swipe to allow TWRP to modify the system.
I have the AGM X1 International edition.
For me also:
Wenn I´m in the TWRP menu, i´m nt able to click on a button or swipe the last button, because the Touchscreen doesn´t work.
How can I solve this problem, install twrp and root the phone? because i would install LINAGEOS...or what is the best Rom/Custom Rom for the agm x1?
Please help me.
thanks
Both twrp image files below (twrp 3 and 3.1) have the touchscreen problem

motsch_, what version of AGM X1 do you have, international?
Have you found any references to this problem in the main discussion pages.
We need to look for any references to this problem, or special img's for this version of phone.
Here's the older xda thread on the agm x1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ualcomm-snapdragon-617-4gb-64-t3533005/page12
Hi,
how can I see which version does i have?
For the moment i havent found any solution for installing twrp.
I have rooted the phone with Kingroot.
Doesnt exist a solution for us?
We can go to "settings" > "about phone" > scroll to bottom and let me know the
hardware version
software version
kernel version
I know mine is X1 international not EU as I just bought it and the EU version is discontinued, it has the following
hardware version: V1.00
software version: L1253.6.03.01.BYD
kernel version: 3.10.73
Also is there any awesome developers out there that would be interested in making a TWRP version - forked from the original TWRP and put on github.
And maybe then make your own port of Lineage, again with all changes to original Lineage forked on github.
Open Source and transparency of course is the reason for this.
Any one else with a AGM X1, please chime in because if we can get just a few dollars together we can get this done very quickly.
I pledge $25 for round one
Here's a reference to the touchscreen issue

Hi liamotoub,
Thanks for the information. So Lineage OS is not available on the international version of the AGM X1 yet. I see.
Also Thank you skill3r for the links, I see they are 404 now unfortunately.
liamotoub, you seem to know what you're doing? would you consider taking on this as a project.
It's certainly worth keeping an eye on 4PDA, pitty I cannot read russian. If any members of 4PDA in the loop regarding the AGM X1 international are reading this please chime in. Thank you all
Hello, unfortunately I'm not a programmer, I just do "trial and error".

With TWRP you can flash another image (lineage OS for example, when we find or make a suitable version for the international version AGM X1)
TWRP will also give you the option to get root permissions, so you can use certain apps that require it. It's like the difference between user and administrator account in windows. It's called rooting because Android is based on Linux, the root account is the account with "super user" privileges, your phone will be open to allow more areas of the system to be used/wrote to/read. It allows your phone it's full potential.
With TWRP we can also do backups and restores of the entire existing ROM and phone contents
So TWRP is the first step before we get the ROM (lineage OS) on the phone https://forum-lw-1.xda-cdn.com/images/smilies/cowboy.gif
Another option for rooting is available called King Root however this comes with a lot of MALWARE AND ADWARE and it is advised not to use it. Besides it doesn't have all the flashing, backup and restore tools anyway. It just gets you root.
That is why we really need to find a working copy of TWRP for the AGM X1

Image.gz ramdisk_agma3eu.img dt.img will be incapsulated in boot.img.
Test if kernel works:
#adb push boot.img boot
If not boot restore previous boot image.
notes:
1.if you load the international kernel config, and you got some errors related to VENDOR, enable
CONFIG_MACH_HIS_SMARTPHONE CONFIG_HIS_BOOT_INFO
and fill CONFIG_HIS_VENDOR_NAME: Android CONFIG_HIS_PRODUCT_NAME:agma3eu
2.if you got an error related to msm_dba_internal.h not found, edit
drivers/video/msm/msm_dba/msm_dba.c and replace #include <msm_dba_internal.h> with #include "msm_dba_internal.h"
PS. replacing my boot.img is not sufficient to make Lineage 13 and FlymeOS5 work, they go in bootloop.
I've uploaded the TWRP versions for the AGM X1 "International version" from the 4PDA links above, to save somebody the trouble of signing up. Version 3.1 is what you want I think (but maybe the backups/restores don't work on v3.1 as skill3r has pointed out or maybe the international version is different?)

Also, liamotoub, send me your PayPal address and I'll send a few dollars your way, that information is great thus far
These 2 files should be TWRP 3.0.3 and 3.1.0 right?
I want to point out that also the latest 3.1.1 ( relased for the gold X1 by a Spanish forum, movilesdualsim) works on international X1 mega:#!vB9g3Aab!_gyrr6rP_rJDheGgIseI2u2TglNw1vmv7dDjUnDYJb4 with not encrypted phone.
To try it without touching the recovery partition use:
#adb reboot bootloader
#fastboot boot recovery_name.img
EDIT: it give some problems when flashing new INTernational ROMs, because they think the phone is GOLD and refuse to install due to their updater-script; should be sufficient to modify the build.prop of this recovery or a similar file, with international version "signature".
TWRP 3.0.3 3.1.1, those that I tried, fail to recognize encrypted fylesistems, so backups of this kind will not work.
Another minor bug is the wrong date (1970) in automatic naming of backups folder, but that's common on most phones.
I managed to make FlymeOs 5.1 boot on international X1, but I don't recomend it, it's full of bloatwares and wifi and other things looks to be not working
https://mega.nz/#!djJ3jbbT!Kr6qMyTcggsrYyPeDnySHpp7EOgUZnG-tvTqewdqkmk
Make full working nandroid backup before trying it.
To port lineage 13 I think marshmallow kernel sources are needed, with present sources only lollipop roms could be ported AFAIK, like CM 12.1.
Question to X1 users: on stock rooted rom, do root requesting apps (afwall, kernel audiutor etc) start at boot time? On mine no, I have to start them manually.
On stock rom beware of these preinstalled apps, may be adware:
com.gangyun.beautysnap
com.oupeng.max.hisense
Is there any specific advantage using the TWRP movilesdualsim 3.1.1 version rather than the 4PDA versions other than a slightly higher version.
If I encrypt my phone would there be any other issues other than not being able to do twrp backups and restores? It would still work?
In fact, I've released Win10 Mobile Offline Update Package V5 in China, but I've never released it in xda before.
Well... I tested OTC Updater provided by Microsoft, it will get a secret update to Windows 10 Mobile 10586.107 which is already used for my Offline Update Packages.

Here's the partial output log:

I was using Nokia Lumia 638 when testing.
I presume it will get a hidden update called "Windows Phone 8.1 Production Bundle - OS 10.0.13080.107 update for (PhoneManufacturer) (PhoneManufacturerModelName) (PhoneMobileOperatorName) based devices" to identify if the device is eligable to W10M, and the update itself provided all of the packages with extension name spkg/spku/spkr instead of cbs/cbsu/cbsr.
Right now, I collected 361 spkg/spkr/spku for the project, but far from perfect. List of packages is attached below.
What I'm going to request is:
Try to get all of the packages links of "Windows Phone 8.1 Production Bundle - OS 10.0.13080.107 update for (PhoneManufacturer) (PhoneManufacturerModelName) (PhoneMobileOperatorName) based devices".
And here's how I'm going to use a new tool with these packages as my new offline update package V6:
1. Use getdulogs command to get the device info, including it's model, codename (For example, the codename of Lumia 830 is Tesla) and packages structure.
2. Check if the phone is a cancelled prototype device, or the current OS version is supported.
3. Check if the phone is confirmed unsupported like HTC 8X, and Win 10 Mobile preinstalled device like Lumia 950.
4. Prepare required update packages according to packages structure included in the phone by copying them to a temporary directory. Remove PIN lock will no longer required, but recommended.
5. If the phone doesn't have the language you're using on PC (For example, HTC One M8 for Windows AT&T and T-Mobile don't have Chinese included), it will ask you if you want to add extra languages.
6. Push the packages in the temporary directory to your phone to execute the update procedure. Since it analyzed your phone, you needn't to worry about your default keyboard and speech if you're not using English (United States).
7. After the update procedure finished, the tool will ask you if you want to use OTC Updater to get further updates if the phone is eligable to later OS.
After V6 release, only confirmed unsupported models will get listed, which will heavily reduce the length of guide.
