2 different phones. Identical problem. Error in Download Mode flashing with Odin.

I have the same error in two i8190L phones. The first phone was rooted, the second phone never was modified.
I cannot access to recovery mode, I only access to download mode.
I cannot flash any stock rom, custom rom, pit+repartition+rom with odin, recovery , param , etc. Odin does not show errors.
For example, if I tried to flash "twrp-2.6.3.0-golden.tar" both phones show the identical red message "movi_write card_status:2 (1) start_blk: 6144". The download counter does not change.
Is it a s3 mini massive problem? Is it a hardware problem or a software problem? planned obsolescence? virus?
Is there a solution ?
Thanks!!!

[Exynos] All apps drop connection and take about 5-10 seconds to reconnect

I have no idea why this keeps doing this but this is a brand new (TODAY) phone, it has been rooted which may be the reason, havent tried a different WIFI network because i havent got access to it, but every single app from MLB at Bat, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, YouTube, etc. All of these will stop connecting to whatever i may be doing, whether its searching for a video, searching for a website, searching for anything or trying to watch something it will drop for about 5seconds before it then refreshes itself and loads the page or sends the message. (NOTE MY INTERNET IS NOT BAD), 150Mbps download, 10Mbps upload, very good internet speeds and other devices do not do this. It doesnt do it after everything single operation it just does it every 5minutes or so.

Hopefully someone can pinpoint this problem and help me, Thank you

Phone App force closing in the morning

Hi,

Not too sure if anybody else has had this problem. Every day morning, when I try to use my phone first time in the day, the phone app does not open. It opens and closes within half a second. It has been happening daily. A reboot fixes the issue for the moment.

However, need to check if anybody else has been facing this issue.

I am running stock 3.2.6.

To resolve the issue, I have tried hard reset, flashing stock OS, flashing 3.1.2 and then flashing the incremental OTAs, almost everything I have tried.

Looks like the issue has not been resolved at all. Tried switching off the doze mode as well. Not helping.

Anybody has any guidance/solution to this problem?

Looking for information please...

I have a MetroPCS Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL 5054N w/ Android 5.1.1... I rooted with KingoRoot to remove bloatware and get as bit more performance out of it. And being a happy legit Pokemon Go player I have been very sad trying to unroot my phone because apparently the KingoRoot unroot option unroots but I am still unable to play Pokemon Go... I have gotten my phone unlocked and have turned on access to the bootloader in Developers Options, but I'm stuck here. Idk to try and find a stock rom to recover to, or to try and use Magisk, the app that allows you to mount and unmount root. If someone could take some time to help me or just point me in the right direction I'd be super appreciative...

Thanks in advance for any help.

PI2 as a VPN

My topology:

ISP --------> Openwrt Router
|
|

/ \
PI2 VPN. PI2 Kodi

I am confused of how to safely use a VPN. If I connect only from my Kodi Raspberry PI2 to my second raspberry PI2 that is running as a VPN server, is that enough to hide/encrypt say, an IPTV stream, if using 2048 encryption? Or do I need to connect through my router as a client, to my PI2 VPN first, to completely encrypt traffic and hide my IP?

I'm pretty new to setting up a VPN, so go easy on me. If the above scenario isn't correct what is the best way to setup an in home VPN server? I'd rather avoid paying for a third party VPN service if possible.

OEM LCD Touchscreen Digitizer Replacement Problem

I have a second generation Shield Tablet K1 that I purchased in December 2015.* The tablet was knocked off a counter and landed face down on travertine tile. The glass/digitizer did remarkably well considering but still had a large crack going down the middle of the screen. The tablet still worked in all regards* and I used it with no issues for 6 weeks. I purchased an NVIDIA SHIELD TABLET P1761W OEM LCD TOUCHSCREEN DIGITIZER on eBay.

I had the new digitizer installed locally at a phone/tablet repair shop. The shop called me and told me the tablet was ready for pickup but there were some issues with certain areas of touch screen not working. Basically the upper half of the touch screen works fine and the lower half does not work at all. As far as I can tell the area that works is exactly 50% of the screen. Just trying to do the basics on it right now is a pain as I have to rotate the tablet 180 degrees every few seconds in order to be able to touch a specific key or an app. Of course the shop won't warranty the work because I didn't buy the digitizer from them. What I'm wondering is if anyone can suggest a specific ribbon wire that may need to be replaced or simply checked to make sure the connection is good on it? Should I replace the touch screen controller?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

How was the S4 ever able to obtain root without ever unlocking the bootloader?

So I am finally ready to move on from my beloved S4 but am realizing that a lot of newer phones cannot be rooted due to the fact that at least with Verizon that their rooting methods require you to unlock the bootloader. I was wondering how devices like the S4 were rooted without ever have unlocked the bootloader (at least in the later versions of updates before loki, where it was locked and when I got the phone), and if anyone can pull up sites that have information on the exploits and methods that were used to accomplish this.

USB Type C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter

My issue
Hi everyone, I have a Nexus 6P and want to route my audio through a USB type C converter to 3.5mm headphone Jack. I have purchased one online, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have seen that the Moto Z has this adapter and I assumed one I found online would be compatible with my 6P. The reason I want to do this is because I prefer for the AUX jack to come out the bottom of my phone.

What I have tired
Changed 'Select USB Configuration' to all the different options and tried playing music.
Tried 'audio routing' apps from the app store

What I would like to know
Is this because I need to change a setting in my phone to route music out of the USB C?
Do I need to get some kind of DAC to allow support for this?
Has anyone else tried this with their phone?

Thanks

Watch pairs with phone, but will not attempt to connect to phone.

Hi guys, I have been having an issue with the watch not being able to connect with my phone whilst being paired- not sure if its a watch specific issue or phone issue,
The bluetooth works fine will all other devices: car/speakers they will pair + connect automatically.
However, when i try to connect with my watch, there is no problem in pairing the devices (the code thing what not) but after the pairing, the devices wont connect automatically, and whenever i try to connect the devices, i dont get any response from the phone. E.g., if i tap on my paired devices with my speaker, it will try to connect and shows "connecting..." but if i tap on the watch, nothing happens, not even an attempt to connect, simply stays at not connected. I removing the pairing and resetting the watch, as well as restarting both devices, but issue still persists. Unsure if this is a problem with my phone or the watch itself, as the phone has no problems with connecting with other devices. Havent been able to try the pairing the watch with a different phone (i dont have a spare phone i can try connecting with atm, but will try that later on in the week by borrowing a phone off friend.)
Issue is even stranger considering i had no problems using the watch with this exact phone beforehand, (i just stopped using it for about 6 months because i lost my watch charging station and i couldnt be bothered to get a replacement until now.....)
The watch has been updated to the latest version, and the phone in question is galaxy alpha, running android 5.0.2
Thanks guys.

Greatness with few bugs !!

I have just flashed this ROM into my oneplus 2, I absolutely love it. There are a few minor bugs though which can be fixed easily.

1. Battery drain because of screen goes up to 30%
2. While watching videos in phone or online the videos have a loop where the same things plays again and again for 2 sec and audio just continues to play with the video loop
3. Minor bugs in Floating peek when trying to activate it through recent tab.
4. After the boot animation goes to AOSPA there is small gap like 10 seconds for the home screen to show up.
5. Unable to change the wallpaper in lock screen, I tried everything and it doesn't help.
6. I don't know if there is a slow motion camera feature.


Please fix the above issues and this would the best ROM for the oneplus 2, though I consider this as the best even now !! ;)

Hello community. I have a currently unrooted nexus 5. somehow I accidently deleted some pics and a video or two. Would like to get them back. The phone is my back up to my Nexus 6p so other than a white noise app and a little internet browsing and some Gmail checking, the phone has really not been used much since the pics and vids were deleted. Perhaps a couple Android security updates (has not been updated to nougat) as well.

Xperia Z3C Bootloop After Flashing Rom

Yesterday I decided to root my Z3C.
I'm able to downgrade my firmware to 23.0.A.2.93 (Device D5803), root it, and install DualRecovery... No bootloop so far, I can boot the system and recovery with no problems at all, so I proceed to put a flashable rom on the device.

I got the flashable rom from here: http://ift.tt/2c930Va
And I picked the nordic one under LTE-A [D5803]

I used an android app to verify md5 checksum and I get:
3aa435ce1bc650e0ff1254070482375a too bad I can't really verify if it's correct since there's no mention of the md5 for my flashable rom...

I boot into TWRP and wipe dalvik cache, cache, and data and then I install my rom.
Now when I boot into recovery again I can see that TWRP is updated, new interface and redesigned, I also have no CWM, so this seems to confirm that I did indeed flash it. However the moment I try to boot into the system I just get a bootloop, and no matter what I try I can't solve it. I've tried different roms, I've verified that the zip file is not corrupted with es file explorer, but nope...

So yeah, I have downgraded and redone everything now except the wiping/flashing. Please tell me how to go on from here or if there's any additional information you'll need.

Cell phone booster for the 6P?

I've been using my 6P since January, and I really like the phone. But one disappointment is it's ability to pull in a signal in sketchy areas. I spend a fair amount of time in areas that have weak signals, so this is an ongoing aggravation. When I know I'm going to be in a area like that for a few days, I switch back to my old Samsung S5, which is a PITA process with Verizon. Or I use my wife's Note.

I have an older Wilson booster to help with that, but it only allows the 6P to be able to make calls and do some text messaging. With the Note or S5, it usually allows a hotspot to be created.

So my question is, does anyone know of a better signal booster? What is your setup, for folks doing that? It must run on a 12v automotive type system.

The notification LED works fine and I can get incoming calls with no problem. The touchscreen is black and I can't interact with it, but the ringtone comes in fine. I'm worried now and don't want to have to replace my phone just yet. Is there any luck with it?

Snail / Much W3D Thread (wIth pictures of mine)

Good Evening!

I have never (or at least I think that's true) made a thread on here and this is my first time actually logging in other than making an account I've had for a little while. Anyways I ordered this much W3D gaming phone back in 2015 and it was cancelled and I was sad. But when I went back on aliexpress to order it again, I asked the same vendor that told me the company failed (I have that message screen capped lol) told me it was rush shipping over to the US. Fortunately for me I love throwing my money away, but this time I was in for a treat.

I. Love. This. Phone.

Now then, how do I help out this awesome community with the phone? How can I help rip it and copy it online so you guys can play with the software and packages? It's a very bare-bones version of 4.4.1 and has a ton of added features you would see in xposed. Like it seamlessly converted my 128gb mico sd card to it's main internal storage and I didn't do anything! I best of all unlike 6.0 the sd card is totally free and accessible from windows explorer. Unfortunately I have only had it for a short while and haven't tested everything yet. Also I'm sorry if this is the wrong place like I said I've never posted before :eek:

How long would it take a beginner to learn to build a custom rom?

So I've done a bit of research on this already, saw some youtube videos, and these guides http://ift.tt/1pl44ID http://ift.tt/1dWdQ9T

However, since I'm very busy lately, before I decide whether to dive into this, I'm hoping to find a rough idea of how long it might take a total noob like myself to build their first custom rom. I'm not talking about compiling time, but rather actual working/learning/debugging time.

The idea is to take something like a samsung phone, but make a completely debloated rom of my own for it from the AOSP or Cyanogenmod code. Any idea how long this would likely take for my first attempt?

Note 7 Promotions: How to Score a 2nd Promotional Item from Samsung with your N7 Swap

As one of the millions who received a recalled Note 7, I was curious if I could somehow score a second promotional item with my replacement device. My first prize, the 256gb SD card, arrived within a couple of weeks. Upon receiving my replacement Note 7 yesterday I went to the Samsung Promotions page and entered my new IMEI and WiFi MAC address. Then there's the required upload of the receipt of purchase. At this step I feared that Samsung may catch me double dipping if I submitted the same receipt, as T-Mobile does not give a new one with the swapped unit. As a T-Mobile customer, this paperwork is called the Jump On Demand EIP finance contract. I imported my PDF contract(TMO emailed to me with the original unit) in Photoshop and changed the date to yesterday's date, then switched a few digits of the contract number. Lo and behold this worked! Now I get a GearVR too!

Enjoy, my fellow nerds.

Possible to convert Sprint A9 to US Unlocked? I did it with my HTC 10.

I was wondering if this is safe to do. I converted my 10 to a International model by flashing the firmware package by removing the radio.img, recovery.img (to keep twrp), and changing the android-info.txt model ID to match the model of my device, in order to use CM13 based ROMs.

It worked fine, no issues as far as I can tell. I was wondering if this would be possible with the A9, in order to get CM to boot on it?

"Invalid Argument" when attempting to remount /system as RW

While I was trying to install the "GSAM Root Companion" app and having it fail, and I discovered that the problem was that /system is still mounted RO. No problem, says I, and fired up my terminal app, pop into a root prompt with su, and issue the old invocation:

Code:

#mount -o remount,rw /system
 mount: Invalid argument

I did some googling, and tried various different ways of laying out the command that other people have had luck with. I didn't have any
Code:

# /system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
# /system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system /system
# /system/bin/mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
# /system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system
# /system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system /system
..etc..

My device is properly rooted (typing 'su' in the terminal prompt gives me my '#' prompt), selinux is set to 'permissive' (per the output of 'getenforce'), but all of them just keep giving me "Invalid Argument". At this point, the only thing I can think of is that it's actually blocked in the kernel, but as I'm hardly an expert, I figured I should put it up here before I gave up for good.

Anyone have a line on this?

How to improve RAM usage and apps in the background

I have owned a Redmi note 3 for a while (Snapdragon 650 3gb RAM). I couldn't be happier with it. Great design, excellent development community, smoth, great configuration. I am really in love with it.

However... The only thing I hate about it is that it keeps on killing apps running in the background. Every time I switch apps, the cellphone reloads it. For instance when I am browsing in Chrome and then go to Whatssap to check something, then when I go back to Chrome it reloads the app... That turns pretty silly.

I know this has been discussed but I just can't believe this amazing device can't have better ram management.

Is there a workaround I can try to improve this? Like a sort of configuration or something? I am running MIUI. Eu rom with Radon kernel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I want to benchmark performance and power consumption on exynos5430 with HMP scheduler and Energy Aware Scheduler.
I have 2 questions about that.

Is my g850's kernel include HMP scheduler(Global task scheduler)? I mean, does it applied on my kernel and my g850's processor is running with HMP Scheduler without any configuration?
And, If I want to install 3.18 kernel which include Energy Aware Scheduler, what kind of defconfig i have to use?
I checked arch/arm/config, but there are only arm's fundamental defconfig files.(like acs5k, armadillo, exynos, versatile .... etc)
Is there any defconfig for g850? or can I use 5430-base_defconfig(I can't paste link here)?

I've been built kernel for linux, but I'm new to android, so I wish you guys help me for this...

Remote Control Android Phone with another Android Phone via Internet

I have a Nexus 6P (7.0.0 NRD90U), Nexus 5 (6.0.1 MOB31E), and Nexus 4 (5.1.1 LMY48T). They are all rooted and running the latest factory images available from google. I want to be able to remote control my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 while they are at home on my network with my Nexus 6P over the internet. I need to be able to see the screen of the remote phones and interact/use the apps. Ideally I need something like splashtop or teamviewer to control one phone with the other via the internet. I have tried several apps so far and the closest I have found is remodroid but it only works over a LAN and it just mirrors the screen, it doesn't allow interaction from the other phone. I have tried teamviewer but it won't ever connect.

I want to use one as an always on Wake on LAN packet sender for my desktop PC's. I can get WoL to work 100% of the time on my local home network, but it won't work over the internet after my PC's have been off for more than a few minutes. I have considered building a low power PC that is always on with the BIOS set to turn it on after power loss that I could remote control with teamviewer to send the WoL packets to my other PC's, but I would rather use one of my old Nexus phones because they would use a lot less power and they have a battery for extended power loss.

I would also like to view the camera of one of my old phones remotely (kind of as a security cam/to check on my dog).

I have also considered buying and building a raspberry pi for this but I already have the old phones and don't really want to teach myself everything about raspberry pi's at this time. I'm very good with tech and would have no problem with it, I just don't want to spend the time and effort on a raspberry pi at the moment.

Questions about the new 3.5.2 firmware issues

So I've heard about this new firmware issue seen in these threads:

http://ift.tt/2dbxI0A
http://ift.tt/2dbwzpQ

I have experienced this issue myself when I tried to flash from 3.5.2 to various roms like DU or PureCM or RR. The fingerprint scanner ended up not working.

I wiped and went back to Freedom OS 1.6.1-CE. I have TWRP 3.0.2-1 installed now on my phone.

If I flash from here will I end up with the firmware issues people have described (ex. fingerprint scanner not working) or should it be fine? Was this only an issue because of the modified TWRP that has to be used with the newer 3.5.2 based roms? I thought that if you wipe the phone of the system then there shouldn't be any problems. Just a bit confused logically as to what is happening here.

no OS; bootloader and recovery don't work properly

Hey guys :)

I have a Moto x (xt1052) with unlocked bootloader. At this moment I have no OS installed. I can enter bootloader and recovery mode but none of them work properly. As I tried flashing the system using mfastboot it seemed as everything has worked properly but when I tried rebooting the phone, I found out there was still no OS installed.
In recovery mode I get an error no matter what I'm doing. Most of the time it says "unable to mount /data" or "unable to mount storage". I think I lost root but I can't install supersu without an OS and can't install an OS without root.
I also tried RSD lite but it somehow has a problem with my ROMs (I tried three different ones, two of them worked perfectly fine on my phone before).

I really have no idea what I could try next so hopefully you can help me!

Currently I am on the OF1 firmware based custom rom, named Stang5litre. (I couldn't get back to previous versions of the firmware)

But I feel really bad because the sms still doesn't work and more often the device getting frozen.

I don't think this rom is stable.

Is there any way to get back to kitkat? Or is it okay to flash the OF1 firmware via Odin if I want stock rom?

Or can anybody recommend any stable custom rom? (I prefer stock figure.)

Thank you.

Replacement Note 7 Performance

Received my replacement Note 7 from Verizon on Wednesday and noticed that the new phone was running with extra lag on everyday apps and random pauses in games that I didn't notice on my original one. Even as I type this message, the words are appearing in a stuttering way.

I attached some Geek Bench scores. By the looks of it, should I contact Verizon, and is anyone else experiencing this?

ZTE Compel (Z830) Custom Rom

Hello Everyone! After we finally got root and twrp custom recovery on this lil Pre-Paid phone I started messing with custom roms. You'll be happy to hear I got the most current version CM13 working! However there are some bugs I need to iron out before I can release a twrp recovery for it. First and foremost is the touch screen. How do the drivers work in android? are the Libraries/modules from the stock rom what I need or they in the kernel? I'm excellent with computers, windows, and command line. Which has gotten me this far. However, I'll be the first to admit I know very little about linux and android. I get the feeling that the libraries are a little like .dll files and APKs are .exe equivalent. Basically, I need to know what to copy/modify from the stock rom to get the touch interface working again in "laymans terms" because of limited exp with android. The more I read about compiling my own rom the more confused I get. :fingers-crossed:

HELP need serious advice here.

Hi,good afternoon,my friend brought me his HTC one m9,because i have experience with these things, i have flashed many devices of different brands but this is my first HTC device.

Well the problem is this:

He unlocked the botloader,installed TWRP ,super SU.zip (via twrp) and a custom rom with s-on,after that he lost signal,the phone does not have imei and baseband is uknown.

I've searched trough xda ,before posting this,so i came across with a thread that said that the phone can recover signal flashing a custom rom and a kernel,did that with no success. And also i've read that returning the bootloader to locked status,will allow me to flash a RUU file in order to get back to stock.

So, i relocked the bootloader,using CMD, but now the phone just boots into bootloader ,i can enter download mode aswell,but its stucked there.

Phone is recognized by windows,via fastboot.

So,the phone status is bootloader relocked,and s-on.

i´ve tried flashing the RUU via sdcard on download mode and gives me error,also i tried using fastboot commands and the result is the same,i can not flash the RUU file.

Any suggestions are very apreciated. Thanks fot your time.

I find a reason of note7 link speed only 433Mbps.

I guess I've found the reason. Note 7 is very likely just a 1-Stream of MUMIMO. My router is R8500, I compared the R8500 Firmware Version 1.0.0.56 and R8500 Firmware Version 1.0.2.54. On 1.0.0.56 can negotiate to 866Mbps, On Version 1.0.2.54 is only 433Mbps. Version 1.0.2.54 adds support MUMIMO characteristics.

ViPER4Android 2.5.0.5 Installation for Honor 8 [TWRP]

ViPER4Android 2.5.0.5



This is a ViPER4Android 2.5.0.5 TWRP recovery Installation zip designed specifically for the Honor 8 device.

The ViPER4Android 2.5.0.5 apk will be installed to /system/priv-app/ViPER4Android and the driver will be preinstalled via the /system/lib/soundfx library and the appropriate entries into both audio_effects.conf files in /system/etc and /system/vendor/etc.

This is labeled "for Honor 8" because of the stock Honor 8 audio_effects.conf files with the ViPER4Android added being used in this recovery Installation zip.

Enforcing Selinux functionality requires SuperSU as the root management app for the /system/su.d/soundserver script to execute.

Simply flash and reboot. :good:

As far as i have played around its the radio, i recall that the xiaoxiang had a "radio" and "beats audio" app? but all the Sprint roms i have tried, about 10 havn't had the radio fix nor have any of them helped.

Feels like im going round and round in circles.
Can anyone suggest a rom or a fix?

Xposed vs Custom rom

As the title states what do you guys prefer.
My understanding is that xposed is not really meant for custom roms but for stock.

So would you prefer stock with xposed or a custom rom with PureNexus for example.

Or do you guys put xposed on custom roms. If so are there issues?

Can't find an option/feature

Hi all. There is a feature that I used with my OG N7 that I can't seem to find with my exchanged phone. While at my desk or sitting on my couch, I would put my phone face down. When I lifted it up, it would go from the always on display to the lock screen. I could then use my thumb to unlock. I may be having a near Sr moment, but for the life of me I can't seem to find how to turn that on in any of the options. I am sure it is hiding in plain site. Do any of you know what I'm talking about? Not a huge deal since I can go to the lock screen by pressing the power button, but I thought it was a nice thing to have.

3. flash pn 6.0.1
4. flash gapps
5. flash vendor image
6. reboot? done?

idk if i have to flash the mashmallow radio or if downgrading will give me any cellular/wifi problems. can anyone clarify this? also is it possible doing this with the steps above will lead to a brick? (sorry for being a paranoid idiot, just don't want to end up with paperweight)

What my problem is is that I have the November 2015 build and I have a March 2016 security update that simply does not work.. I always end up with the Robot lying on its side and a red mark and ! and the word I think "failure" ? I have tried this 3 times now with same results.. My bootloader is unlocked..

Hi guys.Your Suggestion is very much appreciated. (Updating to Nougat before anythin)

Hi there Guys. GoodDay. I just wanna ask. I recently bought Nexus 5x. And i see nougat is ready for update. But before that Ive found out on internet that some users that updated from MM to Nougat got stuck on bootloop and seems they cant figured it out i dont know if its model related(h791/h798). Google Employee says hardware. Here 's a qoute of a report. from androidauthority website.

"We've been hearing an increasing number of reports from Nexus 5X owners about bootloop issues after upgrading to Android 7.0 Nougat.

Many folks have been claiming that, after installing the Android 7.0 Nougat OTA, their Nexus 5X devices would unexpectedly crash and begin to randomly reboot after a few hours, or even days, of use. Some users say downgrading to Android 6.0 Marshmallow does the trick, while others say reflashing the Android 7.0 Nougat September update fixes the problem. Most people, unfortunately, have yet to find a good fix for the problem.

So if you run into this issue, what should you do?

Orrin, a Google employee, had this to say in the Nexus Help Forums:

We understand that a very small number of users are experiencing a bootloop issue on the Nexus 5X. We are continuing to investigate the situation, but can confirm that this is strictly a hardware related issue. For those of you that are currently experiencing this, please contact your place of purchase for warranty or repair options.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued patience."

Im afraid that if i update via OTA just like them. chances it might or might not happen to me. and if did, can a tool like Wugfresh' NRT save it? or should i root and manually update to nougat via some toolkit or manually, is it safer? Thank You very much for your suggestions.

(DRM) TA partition (E6553 aka Ivy)

Dear readers,


Lets start from the beginning, roughly six months ago:

1) My trusty GT-I9300 died, had two for spare parts but ... SDS;
2) I got a Note 2, got blown off the road and ended up in the canal :( Phone was soaked, dead;
2) I bought an Xperia Z3+;
3) I unlocked the bootloader;
4) flashed AOSP.

Result: warranty void on day one!

I picked this phone for modability, sadly there are not that any developers active for this device and I have been slowly patching AOSP from Sony with some changes here and there trying to get a CM13 build going. But due to the dive into the water with my car, I have no desktop PC/laptop (both were i7 quad's) and my dualcore iMac makes development kinda tiresome.

Anyway, little did I know that upon unlocking the bootloader my DRM keys would be lost and on that note I did not really care either.

But today I accidentally started working on CM again and figured that the DRM messages about Widevine in logcat should be eliminated. So I looked into solutions, but the DRM "fix" wasn't creative enough (no sources, wtf?) for me and I set my aim on the culprit of it all: the TA partition!

I've probably been looking at it for at least half a day now and hallucinating due to sleep deprivation. BUT, I do NOT believe Sony just scrapped the DRM keys because you unlocked the device. The keys have come from somewhere, and the best thing about keys is: they can be reproduced!

So I have been looking through dumps, comparing things and found out that the keys are most likely "destroyed". I say "destroyed", because I believe there is a good chance of restoring them!

Gory details about the TA partition (post mortem):

CKb keys look like they are "blanked" with:
00XX 0000 0000 YY00
00XX 0000 0000 YY00

(I think XX represents the date (04-02, second of April) and YY represents the time (22:29) when I voided my warranty!

A CKb key is a simple Counter Key, so most likely easily recovered given enough data...

I noticed that there was a SQLite3 database file inside the TA partition, I extracted it and it holds the following data:

CREATE TABLE keytable ( dbAppId BLOB, dbUserId BLOB, dbKeyId BLOB UNIQUE, dbEncKeyType BLOB, dbData BLOB);

Looking at the last column of the table I noticed this:

The first entry = 31
The second entry is 313038
The third 323135
And the fourth 333232...

The dbData column increases with 10097 every time, could it be related to the CKb?

For the rest it looks like everything in the TA partition everything is in fact intact, except for CKb and AUTHCERT="UNKNOWN" for Marlin (not 100% sure if that is present pre-unlock)!

Marlin X509 certificates are intact.
HUK is the Hardware Unique Key, stored on a quite a few places.
Widevine looks intact.


So, why do I focus on the CKb? Simple, look at these reasons:

CBk is used in TLS/SSL authentication (requirement for NEMO (Marlin));
It is used in QSEE. < this is patched with the DRM "Fix";
It can be encoded as RSA and/or SHA1, and is easily verified in SBL with CRC.
TA unlock/lock data is passed as 0x0000000000000000.
If you use 10097 as a CRC polinomal, the last bit of your message changes (in this case your UID for ScubaKey and drm-client swap).


So, my question is:

Is there anyone with a backup of his TA partition that could send me a dump of this folder:

/dev/block/platform/soc.0/<bootdevid>.sdhci/by-name

You can leave userdata, system abd apps_log for what they are. I just want to compare bits spread over the other partitions.

I will need a dump from a locked state and one from an unlocked state where TA is not restored to see what actually gets changed.

You can PM me on the forum or sent an e-mail to my username at gmail.com, I will make you an account on my PC to drop the files!
