Hello, I've just hatched an Idea!!!
People (like me) may need to downgrade with a custom zip file. But motorola only signatures are allowed in recovery
This calls for cracking the CERT.RSA from the update.zip files that motorola has for us. Yes this is unpatchable because if this does get patched then motorola won't be able to use the recovery with their zips :laugh:.
So let's get cracking the rsa signature! The perl script that I took from hackspire to crack the rsa need's a high power cpu in order to get something done. The public exponent is 3 so this should be easy to crack
Here is the perl script:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use Math::BigInt try => 'GMP';
print "# Using Math::BigInt v",$Math::BigInt::VERSION,"\n";
$e = Math::BigInt->new('3');
my $n = Math::BigInt->new('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');
$p = $n->copy();
$p->bsqrt();
$biggestp = length($p->as_bin())-2;
print "prime p is a ",$biggestp," bit number or less.\n";
$p = $p->brsft((gmtime(time))[2]);
if((gmtime(time))[2] > 0){$p = Math::BigInt->new('0b' . ('1' x ($biggestp-(gmtime(time))[2]))); }
print "p randomly starts shifted right by ",(gmtime(time))[2]," bits and bit filled.\n";
ITERATE:
$modtest = $n->copy();
if ($modtest->bmod($p)->is_zero()){
print "Great found p and q !!!!!\n";
print 'p= ',$p->as_hex(),"\n";
$q = $n->copy();
$q->bdiv($p);
print 'q= ',$q->as_hex(),"\n";
goto SECRETKEY;
}
DECREMENT:
$p->bdec();
goto DECREMENT unless $p->is_odd();
goto ITERATE;
SECRETKEY:
print "Calculating secret key d\n";
$PQ = $p->copy();
$PQ->bdec();
$r = $q->copy();
$r->bdec();
$PQ->bmul($r);
$d = $e->copy()->bmodinv($PQ);
print 'p= ',$p->as_hex(),"\n";
print 'q= ',$q->as_hex(),"\n";
print 'd= ',$d->as_hex(),"\n";
print 'n= ',$n->as_hex(),"\n";
print 'e= ',$e->as_hex(),"\n";
It works best under ubuntu because windows is slower at tasking than linux.
Also a processor with a lot of cores and Ghz will do.
If you find the p and q and d value PM me the values (I need to test them).
Good luck cracking

I don't know which one works or not but try to flash them all.
---End Update---
The key is here
Idk if it works or not but it may.
Cheers!!!
Ummm been there done that. It does not work.
As I have asked before please PM one of the devs. We have already attempted so many things now, and you have rehashed several things we have tried.
I get that you want to help, that is great, so why not pm one of us and ask where best to jump in?
I am not trying to be a jerk, just saying we have worked on this phone for just about a year now, so... it hopefully would make sense that we have tried a lot, we are willing to work with others, but you gotta contact us. There are 6 or 7 devs and you can pm any one of us.

What would the benefits of this working be? I know it'll save people who are soft bricked and can't get to custom recovery, but is that all?

Tried flashing both zips in stock recovery, both say "E:signature verification failed"
Hate to say it but I am extremely cautious flashing unknown things at the risk of hardbricking without means of replacement..... I would think it is safe to say these are untested and we are the test subjects?????

How I understand it: if you try to flash anything in stock recovery that doesn't have the correct key, it just won't flash. If it flashes then it means that the key is correct and we win. Correct me if i'm wrong.
I understand the risk, and I have a working spare Atrix 2 mainboard, so I'm not afraid to try until I brick one of them.

I am sure he wants to see some ownership in this, in that maybe he thought to test this himself first, instead of using you guys as test subjects before knowing what it might do. This is not the first time the OP has asked other people to test something that he has no idea what might happen, without at least trying it himself first.
Myself and the other devs in here all test our own stuff before even asking for volunteers, so we have some idea of how safe it is.
I personally have bricked my atrix 2 like 6 times, I am on my 7th phone now, and I am not at all afraid to call the att warranty department to get a replacement, and the rest of your dev team is the exact same way.
A great developer will/should know what he is asking people do (in other words have tested it himself first) before giving a "beta" or "alpha" of anything for others to test.
I am betting money that, that is what hankbizzo5 ment

As I was saying in the other thread, you have to sign your roms in order for them to be flashed on retail devices. Look up how to sign your rom so that you can share it with others. It is unflashable until it is signed with the testkeys. I know the theme development forum has a nice tutorial on how to sign your files.
Thanks...

I think it got locked because if you can't sign a ROM, they probably don't want you putting it out there for us to "test" and possibly brick our devices. Or, it contains warez, which is likely, and that is against XDA terms.

sweet bro keep us updated on how it works
I'm currently waiting for my G1 to reboot. I wiped my ext partition just in case, as well as a regular data wipe, so we'll see what happens. I've been sitting on the G1 screen for maybe 5 minutes now, we'll see where it goes
Ok I've held my tongue in other forums but I can't anymore, this ace guy has been going around the forum with good intentions by helping people but giving them false information, I and others have corrected him. But this! This goes to far, ace obviously doesn't know what he's is doing and he is the prime example of the noobness we don't need in these forums. He's obviously looking for attention or spotlight and wants to feel like he knows what he's doing. If I was a mod id close this thread immediately,
EDIT I appreciate your effort here but what is the point of setting your self up for a bashfest if you honestly know in your heart of hearts you don't know what you r doing, dude read around the forums learn something before you do something.

Sorry guys, due to phone breaking down and exams coming up, I will not have the time to do all this till my exams are over. At the moment darkunesu will take over all the work.
totally agree with u , ANDROID IS AN OPEN SOURCE OS,
any way thnx for your great job
Good to see you got it all up and running. Ill give it a shot again... Hope it all works out in the end mate.

Randomblame's kernel source code is freely available for you to download and build. There's nothing more 'open source' than that. Extracting a compiled kernel from someone's ROM without permission and put it into your own ROM is clearly not.

I did ask him in the first place but he totally disagree with it. What's wrong with using a ROM in the first place when it is meant to be shared among other peoples? Why are people getting selfish nowadays? Even if he spent 100 over hours with that ROM, whats wrong sharing a kernel? Not like he bought the whole CM10 down, so it should be shared among people.

If you went and did it anyways, why did you ask in the first place?
It is being shared. You can get the source. If you don't know how to compile it, you should learn. Not steal. Instead you're getting upset at him not doing the work for you. kind of not cool. If you really want to push out your own ROMs so bad, learn how to do the legwork in the first place.

If you think it is very easy to do compiling of stuffs when you have a computer which has only 512mb of ram, not even reaching 1ghz single core, show me that you can do it. And if you think it is very easy everything from the basics, go try it yourself. If you can't even produce a ROM, don't come teach me what to do. I was rushing my work to show to everybody that the v1.9.2a update would work perfectly but indeed I had broken the rules by taking RandomBlame's kernel without permission. Till then if you can't produce a ROM, do not teach me what to do. I managed to get this phone , which was already like 2 years old from my family, and my whole family is not that rich. We can't even afford a 'normal' PC like most people had nowadays, and had to live our lives with mostly second hand stuffs. When I got this phone, I was totally shocked how the HTC Sense made the phone laggy for me, hence I went into modding my phone, trying to build Chinese Custom ROMs into this development forum, and seeing people able to appreciate my work makes me happy. Now my family is even having difficulties saving money up for my school fees that I have to pay.
So if your life is not like mine DO NOT TALK LIKE YOU ARE THE BOSS OF THE FORUM. -End Of Speech-

Soft brick, those that have done it, have softbricked with a modified fxz that alteredlikeness and I cooked up, but with any non modified fxz it will be a hard brick for sure.
The issues that we found that caused the hard brick were the CDT.bin and the CDROM files that caused several others to not load, and caused the soft brick, so if you want to look someplace, that is where I would start.
Again one last time Please, we could have handled this through a PM, no need to create ANOTHER new thread, since this really is a dev thing, and not an everyone thing. You have all our user ids and we will answer any direct questions you have, I understand that you may not like me, but there are others.

Depends what you try to downgrade with...
I believe if you use the unmodified 2.3.5/2.3.6 fxz package you will hard brick (white led, no screen).
If you use the modified ones we have for ICS leak#1, you will soft brick (but, it's a pretty firm soft brick, stuck in fastboot). This seems to be true for ATT and HKTW.
That's understanding of it.

I see by your signature, you're quite young. I'm not saying that as an insult or an implication of your limits of abilities, but as you've seen before, you need to go through the 'proper channels' around here so you will be much more well received. I understand you are being very ambitious, and that's great. However, please do just pace yourself and try not jumping the gun with your development. If you take your time, and spend some time collaborating with the established (and well respected) developers here, you will be better off in the long run. You can PM any one of the devs, or anyone else for that matter if you need help along your way. But, again, just focus on being a little less impetuous, and a lot more 'behind the curtain' -that way, when you put something out there to the community, it has been tested/modified/verified by the guys here who have dealt with this device from essentially day one of its release. This is just a suggestion, take it however you see fit...

If you take your time, and spend some time collaborating with the established (and well respected) developers here, you will be better off in the long run. You can PM any one of the devs, or anyone else for that matter if you need help along your way. But, again, just focus on being a little less impetuous, and a lot more 'behind the curtain' -that way, when you put something out there to the community, it has been tested/modified/verified by the guys here who have dealt with this device from essentially day one of its release. This is just a suggestion, take it however you see fit...

I was thinking to join to be more behind the curtains and to be part of the developer community.
And I was just parsing some cdt tables and realized that the cdt.bin version needs to be higher in order to downgrade. It's all in the cdt table. So how did this Chinese user do it is the question we need answered in order to downgrade. Did he use the rsa signature from the other file or something?

I just sent you a PM with information.
I think this question is relevant to this thread, so here goes: Jim has been gracious enough to attempt to fix my softbrick because it failed to flash CDT.bin and CDROM. However, I never flashed the second leak, only scv7leak2, and from there the CM10. It was my understanding that you could use a modified FXZ to get back from this, just not the official leak #2. Is this correct, or am I wasting the Jim's time?
I would've sent a PM on this, just figured if answered here it would help others.

You are not wasting my or any of our time.
I am pretty sure we can learn something from it. I am also 99% sure I can get you your phone back in working condition.
It is good that you posted this here, and did not pm about it, since it is relevant.
I would really love to see an fxz cooked up for the leak #2. In softbrick state myself. Seen that it DOES go into fastboot...but wishes dont always come true lol.

thanks a lot it solved it! now i'm going to get ICS and then CM10
Hi.. I'm going to be as brief as I can..
I had to get my phone replaced because it got all "defective" on me.. No joke.. it wouldn't Charge, wouldn't call, txt, turn off, tried everything.
called tmobile they said that it was a known issue and that I would have to call samsung about the warrantee. Called Samsung "Call Tmobile"
called tmobile "can't help sorry". Took the phone into the store.. "oh you have the $7.99 insurance! call them" Called Insurance.. "It's not covered call Tmobile". called tmobile "call insurance". finally got someone to actually listen to me after about 6 hours of being on my husbands phone! Got tmobile to send me a replacement. It was the very same SGS4G that I have loved for years.. Then I turned it on... New Load Screen... Gingerbread... (I was on froyo 2.2 before and NEVER had a problem with anything until the phone went completely nuts)
So now my phone....
Can't Send txts without it being MMS
Bounces from 4G to Searching whenever it wants (most of the time it's in searching or just enough signal to make calls)
takes forever to download even the smallest apps..
Basically it's become a phone that I want nothing to do with..
So I talked to my dad knowing that he did alot of rooting stuff to his Droid
He told me "Root the Phone! Put the Rom you want on it and Make it work how you want it. Look up Xda-developers" <-- for a solution it didn't seem to get better than that!
That was my Headache.... Now for my Problem..
As I was reading through tons of stuff on here I saw that there was Slim ICS.. then I saw the "Not Working" section..
then there were different programs that are needed to install different things...
not to mention that I don't want to over work my processor which is a 1Ghz processor
As for a Modem... no clue which to pick... I just need a better connection altogether..
Could You please let me know which things run the best together..
Which programs do I need to root, install etc.. these things
and I'm soo confused right now it's not even funny.. My dads droid was soo easy for him to root and change that he's confused at the process that the SGS4G needs..
Any advice or help at all would be amazing!
I will be eternally grateful for any help at all!
Please feel free to laugh at my situation.. I know I am..
This all started as a desperate cry for something better than what my phone has become.. although I think that this whole thing is going to become one big funny story lol
First of all, you need to root your phone, then we'll talk after that. Go read the how to root thread in this forum. It is an easy process. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375517

One Slight problem with rooting it lol... from all of the info I'm getting here on the site it says I need to download something to root it...
I would really love to get all of the stuff needed so that once I root I can just get the whole process done with.
My dad is also on thephone with me right now.. yes at 3:35am lol..
He's trying to help me look through Roms and help me pick the best one. However he doesn't know much about my phone because he's with verizon...
What I need to know is what stuff works best together.. You know, the least amount of bugs and problems. I want to know from someone more experienced than ether me or my dad because We have been looking at this stuff for almost 10 hours... o_0 and it's not getting any less confusing lol.
Thank you

Follow the guides to root your phone. Then start looking at roms.
Most likely you'll want to start out with a GB rom and move around from there, you still have to root it to install those.

so the link told me..... "No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
as far as the first link.. there are different programs to root your phone with... which one works the best.
The first one that you sent me to which is the One-Click thingy... sounded great at first! However I also have to download some C ++ thingy and something else before I could even use the program to root the phone..
Honestly a good program would be 1 program to root, one program to install. That kinda thing..
not 1 program to root... wait before you root install these 2 programs then stand on your head and download program 3... i mean honestly that kind of multi program stuff makes me wonder where the "Take this survey to unlock your download" screen is gonna be... lol
What would be the fun if you just clicked a button and everything worked.. Clearly something happened to your phone and you paid good money for it to work the first time. Luckily all this is free.

I hear that lol... although it took my phone 2 1/2 years to mess up lol.. but yes this is free.. and very very very confusing... but free lol
The least confusing way to do this is a heimdall one-click. Yes, you gotta have Java and the c++ runtime for windows installed but the links are provided right in the first post of the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Starting from stock gb if you wanna go to ics download Eollie's one-click in the second post.
Now you should have the correct recovery to get to ics.
Currently the most functional ics rom I think is aokp which has auto-brightness working right out of the box.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733097
A few things here and there aren't quite working on any ics rom:
Wifi calling
Tv out
...can't think of more now but those are probably most notable.
All you gotta do is follow instructions on the links I just posted. That's as easy as it gets. Really.
O. I forgot, to get into download mode turn off phone, hold volume up and down, plug phone into pc.
To get into recovery turn off phone, hold volume up and down, hold the power button until the second screen comes up, keep holding volume buttons. Recovery will come up.
You should also understand that as great as ICS is, you sacrifice some battery life over GB. There are so many great ROM's for this phone, you just need to see which works best for you. Check out this link... All of the information you need regarding ROM's, kernels, modems, etc. can be found here.

Ok so I would like to say thanks for everyones help... No the device isn't bricked because I haven't even rooted yet.. I want to get all the info all the things that I will need, understand the process then start the process of "NOT Bricking my phone" lol...
I don't think that it's possible to sacrifice some battery when my phone only stays alive for 20-30 minutes... the GB update messed the phone up soo bad it's not even funny... if I was still on Froyo I wouldn't have any desire to Root or change the OS.
As far as that link.... it's not usable... it's listed there 2 times back to back. I did however shorten it until it worked and thank you
Just I do know how to get into DL and Recovery mode I have had to do this a million times over when on the phone with Tmobile trying to trouble shoot the issues that have come up since i got the replacement phone with GB. I can not begin to count the number of factory resets this phone has on it...

Heh, I said that about going to GB, then going to ICS. Now I dread when I have to run GB to see how things worked "back then" when doing dev work.
The good news is that with the one-click-back-to-stock packages now available, along with a good backup utility like Titanium Backup Pro, it is a lot easier that it once was. I won't say it's "fool proof" as there are many people who are foolish enough not to read current threads about how to flash and upgrade an SGS4G, or foolish enough to flash a ROM, kernel, or "tweak" that isn't intended for the SGS4G or the Android version they are running.
Serenity8525 if you know how to get into DL mode download the one click in the purple link it will get you onto stock plus root with custom recovery. Then from there follow the directions in the ICS thread you want to flash. Just make sure it is from this forum and not the sister phones. As long as you follow the directions you will be hard pressed to brick the phone.
Like jeffsf stated once you get on a working form of either ics or gb you will wonder how you ever dealt with froyo. I suggest however to flash a different rom once you get the one click in my sig flashed. And just for safety's sake flash it twice and the second time click the flash bootloaders box.

sounds like a plan... although i know it will ultimately come down to personal preferences but is there a specific setup that works best?
setup as in...
Rom
Modem
Kernel
etc...?
honestly thats what the main question was. Yea I gave background and what not. Yes I asked what program was easiest to use. People have answered those. However what people didnt answer was the setup variations that work well together.
I mean after all the rooting and rom gets installed and im still on GBis there a combo i can use to get my signal going again? Right now if I want to make a call I have to use wifi calling... since that isnt working in ICS... I dont want to get ICS and not be able to make anycalls. I have a tower about 2-3 miles away from me and never have signal. If rooting the phone doesnt fix the signal what would i need to change to get it working?
so I'm gonna start out simple..
Root with GB cause from what I can tell WIFI calling still works on a GB Rooted phone.
I'm guessing that just rooting my phone and staying with GB will mean that better Kernels and modems will not be compatible?
If that's true then my signal will still be nothing..
but with
ICS
I will need ether wifi calling to work or upgrade the Kernel or Modem... so...
I need setup ideas
GB rooted
Kernel?
Modem?
etc...
and just to play it safe if you guys could help with the ICS setup too
ICS rooted (I think the post was about AOPK?... which has the most stuff working. so that will be the one I would use)
Kernel?
Modem?
etc...
Again Thank you everyone who has been helping me

Hey, man. Just thought you should know that out of curiosity, I took the firmware folder from the Epic 4G CM 6.2 rom and cooked it into my Epic SK4G rom.
No issues so far. I know it may be no big deal but I wanted to share that. Maybe bhundven can take a look at the kernel?
EDIT: It is no big deal.... it's just Froyo 2.2.1. Forget it. Goddammit.

I would have kept my mouth shut if he fixed the op. Either [PORT][WIP] CM6 for the sidekick 4G or even [PORT][PRE-ALPHA] CM6 for the sidekick 4G. BETA is reserved for working ROMs/PORTS. This was obviously an epic fail.
He's also stated before he does not know how to modify kernels. In order to port cm6 you will need some kernel hacking skillz.

He also said this form of porting was documented to work, which it didn't in this particular case. And if you've forgotten, he can't test it. His SK4G is with bhundven. So, he couldn't have known that it was pre-alpha material.

I'm pretty sure it took a month or less to boot CM6 on the SK4G, bootable.

Exactly my point I was trying to make.
That all depends on what he had to go through those last 5+ months. Assuming everything was peachy, yes, a month is feasible. But say, you had court battles and other stuff to worry about, do you think you could throw something workable together in a month? Doubt it. And if you say you can, prove it. Otherwise, you're full of yourself. I'm not gonna try myself, because like I have said before, i've only done small stuff and I know my own limitations. But by all means, go ahead and ridicule someone who is making a conscious effort and not just sitting back and waiting for someone else to do the work.
Btw, Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas to the both of you, despite your overinflated egos.
What 5+ month are you talking about? Phone was sent to Bhundven at the beginning of october, so it's 3-, not 5+. And yes, life's more important than ROMs.
