Google Search by Voice v1.4.1 install fails

Searched the forum and wiki and can't find anything on this.
Trying hard not be a 'compleet newb'....
Problem: I've tried to download and install the latest update (v1.4.1) to Google Search by Voice. It fails saying it is not correctly signed. I am not able to uninstall it via the Market software. The existing version is present and still works.
I was thinking of manually uninstalling it and then attempting a re-install from the market. Has anyone had any success getting this update to install on CM 4.2.7.1?
I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.7.1 on my HTC Magic 32B, applied over the flashed and clean-installed 1.6 rooted base - no CM Updater. (Seems to give a better, more stable result - may affect the behaviour of the update).

this stupid error happens because of the test keys or the userdebug keys thay cyanogenmod uses. I would download it somewhere online and use adb to replace the old one wiht the new one. It should work.

Yes I have the same problem with same model phone etc. etc.
I understand the workaround will be the same as Google maps 3.2.1 update but I cannot find up to date "Google search by voice" apk. I was wondering if anyone knows a source that mirrors up to date apps, or could even link a tut about how to get apk's copied out of the phones /tmp folder?

Thanks
I'll check out the package name in the Applications settings and see if I can find it anywhere or somehow capture it. Later....won't have any time until this evening.

That's great I didn't think of that, ill whip out those quotation marks and asterisks for google too. Also later...... 00:20 is not the right time for this....... so tempted......!!!

I fixed the maps.apk problem by going into adb and uninstalling maps.apk and then removing all traces of it. Then I went to marketplace and i downloaded it as normal and it now works perfectly.
Try that with voice search

Do we know what the package name is? Usually something like "com.google.android.apps.xxx" Could try uninstalling through adb. Then re-download from the market?

hello, could u plz share the installer? its not available on the marketplace in my country.
thanks very much

success
Ok, I managed to get Google Search by Voice updated to 1.4.1. I'm no pro and it took ages but it works.
Could a mod advise whether I am allowed to post a link to the apk?
I would be happy to post the steps i took but its not something i have done before and worse still, i used cmd not putty (noob error #1!). So the commands and the order i used them in are lost.
Should have used ubuntu..............
the concept consisted of updating the app and simultaneously using this command while it was downloading
Code:
cp /cache/downloadfile-9.apk /sdcard/download
"9" is only because it is the 9th apk i have downloaded and once the install fails the OS deletes the apk.
(for anyone else it would be different. go into /cache and type ls at the prompt to see what your next number will be)
then rename downloadfile-*.apk to VoiceSearch.apk, remove the original in the phone using adb and replace with the updated app.
I will post again tomorrow with clearer instructions but would much rather post a link to the apk I got, if it is permitted

hmmm. doing an 'adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk' and reinstalling from the market still gives you the unsigned error?

yes it will still give an unsigned error.
that is why you need to copy the apk which android market downloads to /cache before it deletes it, i copied it to /sdcard/download. then install via adb afterwards.
you have to manual install the apk to avoid unsigned error, once you have done this any future updates through market will be fine. Maps updated fine to 3.3 after i manually installed 3.2.1

How?

Any advice on how you did that? I can imagine sitting with finger poised over the enter button in an adb shell.......is that what you did? Or is there a more certain, simple way?
Thanks.

I downloaded the VoiceSearch.apk file and adb pushed it into /system/app on my phone and it works perfectly. The market sees it as installed and valid.
But I inspected my "normal" load phone (which has voice search) and nowhere could i see anything resembling "VoiceSearch.apk".
Where is this file on an un-rooted phone?

How To Upload ERI using Revskills
Manual Method / How This Works
The IMEI part is complex and I wont go into detail on that at all. If you dont have access to a windows machine, then I'm sorry but most of the avail tools that will allow you to repair IMEI is going to be Windows based and you can use a virtual machine. Not with my tool but others. This is mostly going to be focused on the ERI it self.
The ERI is binary file that is stored on the QCOM chipset, this is the primary file the "Radio" and the device use in order to determine certain functionality of the device.
This is stored as /nvm/eri_0 on the QCOM's EFS. You can use QPST EFS Explorer all though it will probably crash, or some other EFS explorer for Qualcomm chipset's.
I have uploaded the original eri_0 file to this forum. All you have to do is download it. User QPST or Bitpim, Revskills, and upload the file to /nvm/eri_0 you can leave it's permissions as 666 or chmod the permissions to 777 your choice the phone will read it either way.
The /nvm/eri_0 that is uploaded to this forum comes from a stock s3, although its the same ERI file Verizon has been using forever. Thats all this tool does. Simply fix's the IMEI and uploads a good eri file to the correct directory.
Questions and Answers
Q) Do I need to do anything special first like back up any part of my phone or anything ?
A) No, as long as you can enable diag port you can restore your IMEI, just look on the back of your device under the battery for your original IMEI. I STILL ADVISE YOU TO BACK UP using this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Q) Can this change IMEI?
A) Its purpose is not to change IMEI doing so is illegal and any talk about changing the IMEI will be reported and you may be banned. I advise against it as it could cause unknown issues.
Q) Can you share how this works.
A) No, sorry my position, my family and my job comes first and this would put me in a bad position.
Q) Can you just tell me in pm.
A) No so dont bother asking.
Q) My phones says Roaming and show roaming icon will this fix it ?
A) Yes this should be able to fix that issue, it does that by uploading the ERI back to the QCOM chipset.
Q) Should I / Do I have to donate ?
A) No, you don't need to donate, and I don't want you to fell you need to. Your donation could go to something else EFF, Adam Outler, XDA, Poor kids in any country, some other foundation. If you feel you would like to donate to me you can, I wont stop you and I wont ask you to.
Credits
Not sure who all to credit if you feel your name should be here Just tell me and why and Ill post it here. I did not read any of the other forum really, but ill list who i have seen and who as helped me identify it was the ERI
Also no particular order
Adam Outler - For everything he does, I watch a lot of his videos.
WildZontar - For his thread, not sure if its his info or just info collected. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
TrevE - For what he has contributed, looks like a lot very knowledgeable person
Jay Evans - For doing the initial tests
BillBauman - Discovered the missing ERI
GerardAnthony - For the AOSP mode scripts
Again, for these people as well, I didn't read the whole thread etc to see everything they contributed. If someone would or if they would / want me to update it please ask to me to update so I can give credit where its do.

I gotta give you props just for making your own IMEI all 9's, i would never do that on purpose.

Have to make sure it works as intended lol. I'm not to worried as I know I can restore from it.

the program force closes on me when i try to open it is there something wrong with it? i tried downloading it again and it does the same.

i updated to 4.5 and still it says program has stopped working and self quits.

same...heres a pic...windows 7 64bit. Ran in compat mode for xp as admin, same error. I am fully updated.
edit: I looked into the app, and you have problem with kernelbase.dll

Ok one sec ill recompile again, one reason i really hate C# haha i think i know what it is

Please re-download should be v2. I forgot to compile a dll with it, so should work now.

sweet dude...yea looks like a faulty dll. Nice program though...I deleted my esn/meid/iemi to see if I could restore earlier today and figured out how but one program would save a lot of steps. Many thanks.
Edit: works!!

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Flame me if you must.
Is it possible to port this to another device or edit to make it compatible. I personally don't need it, but anyone with a lost imei would find it immensely useful. As you can see from my sig I have an att galaxy s2 skyrocket. Thanks for your time.

It's possible but it would have to be written for that device, meaning I would have to have test device or some way to check stuff.

Damn, this is legit man. Thanks so much for making this tool. I have yet to lose mine, but I'm sure it'll happen at some point.

Currently on that URL is a approx 14 MB rar file download, I _think_ I just got it sorted!
I don't have time now to make this pretty, but some others who want to hack. add links, etc feel free to work with this...
in fact I dont know if all these steps are required.
General Broad steps (ymmv, you are doing this to your own dang phone, dont blame me for bricks viruses or earthquakes etc, etc/ etc).
on your computer, uninstall adb, pdanet and any other tools that use the adb drivers and dlls, reboot as needed.
install the mt6575 drivers (I forgot whether I downloaded these or if they were part of the 14 meg file) reboot as needed
power down phone.
remove battery from phone, don't plug into computer.
launch flash_tool.exe
load the included scatterloading file MT6575...emmc.txt
press the download button
plug in phone to usb
put battery in phone
watch the blinkinlights for a few seconds, wait for the big green O
then I disconnect phone and ensure power down.
install SDK
power up phone and plug in
test adb (adb shell)
kill adb server
download and install superoneclick
download extra superoneclick exploits
launch superoneclick
click the big root button.
Test (you can use something like rom manager)
Now people should be able to try to install various CWMs.
I haven't gotten that far yet.

It is working very well.
No need for you or anyone to wait.
Just please know what you are doing (do you have basic understanding of recovery mode, roms, factory mode, and the dangers) in other words, if this is your first time doing this on a phone.. ask someone who knows what they are doing for help because I am not able to put together a documented procedure, but the findings above should allow someone else to do that. Additionally, I have no idea of the legality or safety of the software at URLs above.
conceptually this is 4 steps
1) flash boot.img that will allow cracking
2) crack to get SU installed
3) install Mobile Uncle Recovery mode and app
4) install gapps.
The MobileUncle recovery mode is Chinese, But the mobileuncle app is kinda like rom manager, it lets you set up what happens at next boot so you don't need to read the chinese in recovery text mode.
The patched rom is working for me in English with root, no detectable problem except FC on google partners (and I can't tell if that actually does anything). Remember this is not a new rom, just a patch to the huawei rom that allows a root crack.
There are about 4 chinese apps that I am afraid to uninstall..
one appears to be a chinese app store too, kinda fun to browse
gapps must be flashed with mobileuncle recovery (don't just unzip them)
US google play store is working.
I am fully migrated to this phone now and use it for daily work.
Good luck, and remember that this is why you got an android instead of a i-Thing.

Thanks thanks again. I'll try it and don't worry this is not the first time to modify a mobile. If it is all ok i posted here.

Working u8812d
Ok... It was successfully working on my phone. I have root and change recovery and then installing gapps. Almost of the apps is working of the play store. Thanks again and hope there is a release of ICS or JB rom for our phones.
See ya!!!:good:

Thanks for the steps though the problems are still coming thick and fast, I have a new U8812D from China, no China unicom splashscreen but lots of 'bloatware' still. I've been trying for days to root this thing and nothing's working.
I'm pretty sure I need root access becasue the phone is currently preventing me from adding my Gmail account and using the google play market and apps, other bits and pieces like assigning incoming call number to a contact are supposedly fixed by getting the google thing right. The phone is good but I'm missing alot of functionality.
If the above description sounds like rooting is not the solution, please let me know and point me to the right forum, if rooting is the obviously the only way out, I'm hoping to clarify a few step in the above walkthrough to help me and others.
1. I cant install the mt6575 MediaTek drivers, installing directly gives error 'driver cannot be installed this way' there is no COM-LPT port in my device manager to attach it to as a manually locate driver, I can add a COM port with add remove hardware but I have Code 10 error, device cannot start and doesnt seem to accept the mt6575 driver as an update even when forced to it with locate new driver, apparently this is no problem from other forums, still bugging me. Maybe I havent the right files? how do i get COM-LPT ports to show up properly?
2. when 'install m6575 drivers ... reboot' is the phone plugged in? to what device do we install the drivers or should it be automatic?
3. launch flash tool, i have located two versions of the MT6575...emmc.txt file, one delivers error, block count fail and has no files paths for the item in the main table, the other refuses to open, giving error, incorrect scatter file format. The latter has considerably more data in it when read in notepad.
4. Becasue of these errors, SP flash tool does not download to phone. all subsequent steps fail.
Assuming the initial flashing steps are successful, I must to use SuperOneClick to root the phone, where do I find the extra exploits needed? or are tehy automoatically sourced by SOC? Succeeding the root access step, I assume i can freeze the apps causing problems to my google sign in or delete them. Or could I please be directed to the ATTPlain rom mentionned by JohnnyParanoia in 'Almost All Huawei Stock Roms (Firmware) - Updated 28/06/12' board.
Since so many of the resource files I've trawled through are bung, anyone who can point me to reliable/tested files known to work with the U8812d I'd greatly appreciate in on top of the great appreciation I already have for your patience with a Noob. I located the 14Mbit .rar file mentioned above but not all parts worked, had to dl the different programs individually and some files had to hunt down form fileshare sites.
Lastly, i am using an HP laptop, Windows 7 64-bit, Thanks in advance.

[Q] Unable to unlock TF300T with JB, no PC to use, Help!

I read the extensive and well written guide, and posted this there to no avail. However whenever I get the Unlock_V8.rar from ASUS, and unrar it, I get an APK that appears to be invalid. It says "There was a problem parsing the package". I tried this using multiple browsers and apps to DL it and even tried installing it on a totally different device to see if the program's launch-- my smartphone. Didn't work there either, same error.
Does anyone have a coherent version of this APK?
I tried using the V7 unlocker and it keeps saying there was an unknown error, probably a network error, but there are NO network problems.... every other program connects fine. In addition I tried using multiple Internet connections to get the unlocker to work- nothing. I registered my device's SN on ASUS' web site weeks ago and still nothing.
If it is helpful I am running Android JB stock from Factory, version 4.11, TF300T, PAD-EC20T-0216, dock version DOCK-EC20N-0207,
JRO0C3.US_epad-10.4.2.1720121018 ... hope that is enough info. Thanks so much for any help!
EDIT: Also note I do not have access to any other computer at the moment. I had to sell mine and now all I have left is the tablet and the phone... therefore I can't try to use ADB and the SDK to do the unlock. I have to do it from the tablet... thank you!

Use zarchiver to unrar the Asus unlocker.

I made a link here for you
Unlock_v8.apk - 629.65 KB

I had the same issue and was able to extract the file with unrar a free app I found in the store.

Thx for the link ... unfortunately I get the same error. The file DL'ed just fine and it seems to be the exact same size as what I get when trying to extract the RAR (I tried 4 or 5 different archiver programs on this machine and the phone). I've no idea what to do from here.
Inside the APK, I found a bunch of resource files like little icons and an XML file but I don't see an executable. Shouldn't there be one? Thanks.

Just click on it in file explorer and it will do the rest You must have install from unknown sources enabled in security options.

That's what I'm doing. It immediately responds with "There was a problem parsing the package." Also, that option is on.

Well that usually means the download is corrupt......

It doesn't appear to be, though. I even got it from 3 other mirrors and unrar'd those. I don't know the structure of an APK but there are coherent image files in there, just no executable at all. I am starting to think ASUS has a bad file on the server to begin with...

UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
This script brute forces your bootloader until it finds the code.
1.Download the python script : mega.nz/file/aoUAka4I#Tkn7fAqLGm4GtG89w-oIrymacQHlfhcfHyl8WHHUDXc
2.Download the python program from Python website.
3.Install the python program.
4.Unzip the script.
5.Write your phone FIRST IMEI down.
6.Enable developer options in Android.
7.Enable USB debugging in Android.
8.Connect your device to the computer and launch the script.
Use command: C:\your file location\your file location\ python unlock.py
9.When prompted insert your phone's FIRST IMEI
The process could take days but you don't have to pay for programs like DC-Unlocker and sooooo on.
If you get the error "unknownfail" you must edit the "unlock.py" file and modify "True" to "False" from "unknownfail" section.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
The program was created by "SkyEmie" and i just made the tutorial.

Is it safe ? Any chance of data loss ?

If it gets the good bootloader code it automatically reset the mobile phone.All the phones does this.

Ifnit takes days does it continue where left off ?

I got this.
fastboot: error: Command failed
Could not parse output.
Please check the output above yourself.
If you want to disable this feature, switch variable unknownfail to False

Don't worry. Every bootloader unlocking wipes all user data for sure!
About paid unlocking - to got you unlocking code, phone has to reboot and be wiped. After unlocking bootloader with code, in bootloader mode, phone also had to reboot and wipe all user data. Take your chance to install custom recovery and remove forced encryption if you want to try some custom rom or just backup user data.

you must edit unlock.py file (right click>edit with ide>) and at "unknownfail" line it will say "True" change it to "False"

It doesnt work on emui10, Readme says.

Hello. I was very interested in the topic.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on the Huawei P30 Pro in this way? I can have Emui 9
Has anyone succeeded?

Has been running for 12 hours so far on my Huawei Y560-U02.
Will update if it works...
Running on the spare PC.
Screen information did not change since it started but I can see the CPU is busy.

Hey guys,
i also have tried to bruteforce my bootloader code with the python script you mentioned. However, without any kind of success. I've tried both EMAIs and it hasn't found a fitting bootloader code. (And yes I got EMUI 5 and the EU version). Seems like my only choice is to buy a dc unlocker code.
Now back to you. Instead of using a single-core python script check out this github repository, where somebody wrote the whole thing in C# but multithreaded. IT'S WAY FASTER. Only took 5-10 Minutes compared to the 5-10 hours python script by SkyEmie. Here is the link:
h t t p s://github.com/rainxh11/HuaweiBootloader_Bruteforce (sorry but i'm new to this forum so i am not allowed to send links unobfuscated) =)
I will try it for some more times but with different methods...
I hope you will succeed and if you do, please post it to this forum.
:good:
Edit: I compiled the program so you can download it directly if you want: h t t p://www .mediafire .com/file/h0w27xk18makz79/HuaweiBootloader_Bruteforce.exe/file

I ran the c# program 3 times, i am not sure if the last number it outputs is the password but i tried it and it failed to unlock.
I am now waiting for python and will follow up with an update when something interesting happens.

It does not seem that the Python method works on my type of device.
It tried to get the C# one running but it seems that it needs to be compiled 1st. I tried to compile it but I get error messages.
Can I get some tips on how to compile or or how to run it...

there is a compiled version of it on github under "releases". Or you can use my compiled version which i included in my thread.

No, it tries ALL combinations that are possible for your device given by the IMEI so the last number is just the last one tried.
Important is: your device has to be in bootloader mode for this program to work properly.
Question: what device do you have? I've got the P9 Lite and couldn't bring it to work neither.

if the program hangs at the end with something like a code, is that the code?

No, look at the thread above for information about how the program works.

Thanks for tip.
C# worked but it only ran through a few and then it just stopped. It created a text file and there are around 300k possible codes for this.
The device I am using is Y560-U02 from 2015 running on Kitkat.
I found a 25 sec video for P9 last week. Maybe someone can figure out how they got it to work. It seems to be running on Python program.

I found a way to bypass when it just stops. It is stopping after 16 attempts each time.
I will test my method and then post it here.
It should work for all Windows users.
---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
If you go to task manager you will see that it creates a fastboot.exe for each attempt. So Create a batch file with the below code and it will stop all of them on a loop with the time defined. Run it as Administrator to ensure that it works. Time is in seconds
Download the nircmd from the bottom of the below link. I used the not 64 bit one and and extract it then move the exe files to the C:\Windows\system32 folder or edit the script to include the directory you extract the files to.

Well in theory, the fastboot.exe files should close automatically after they tried to unlock the bootloader with the given code. Not sure wether this may be dependent from the device youre using.

It seems to be happening on all the devices that are using the C# script.
Even on yours. You mentioned that it is hanging. This is the way to bypass it. It has reached over 30k so far which is over 10%.

Well, the funny thing is, the guy in the video also hasn't got it to work, which is not an unexpected result, since it would take decades to do it like he did (he is testing ALL codes from 0 to ?).
