[PC-UTIL] [Discontinued] [Source Opened] Android RTL Auto-Patcher + ProTools (v.1.5)

Discontinuation Notice + Source Opened!
This project is now discontinued, as I have moved on to Android 4.X (ICS) which has perfect built-in RTL support.
I will still provide basic support as much as I can, but if your device has it, I recommend you move on to ICS as well.
If you wish to continue working on this project and improving, you have my blessing (as long as you credit me, of course).
Source code is available here, but be-ware: it's an undocumented, unorganized mess.

Android RTL Auto-Patcher
Version 1.5
The Problem
It's a well known fact that while Android has Hebrew and Arabic fonts, it has a problem with Right-To-Left alignment. The problem: It doesn't exist.
Sure, MOST programs display text correctly, but mix text and numbers in the same line and you'll get reverse numbers (123 appears as 321), and in SOME Google apps (like Gmail and Maps) the words themselves are reverse (so 'apple' appears as 'elppa').
The Old Solution
There is a solution for this, however you have to create a separate patch for every build, because the patch changes files in the build's framework. It's a relatively easy process, but for people who change builds constantly, it can get tiresome.
This Program
This program detects if a build is compatible with the patch, and if so - creates it almost automatically and install it back to the phone. A process that took about 10 minutes to complete before and required some knowhow, now takes only seconds and requires almost no prior experience!

}
ProTools
The ProTools are a collection of tools that will allow you to patch ROMs manually either directly to ZIP files, to the phone, or to framework files. It will also allow you to push, pull, extract and manipulate files to and from ROMs of all kinds, with great flexibility and ease!
​​
Compatibility
This program is intended for use with custom DEODEXED roms of Android versions 2.1 and above. The program will inform you if your build is not deodexed.
The program will allow you to either push the fix directly to the device or flash via recovery.
WARNING: Some 'squashedFS' builds have been reported not to be compatible, and the program can not - at the moment - detect those!
Warnings
This program is in Beta stage!
Many features have not been thoroughly tested and error handling is far from perfect.
It may give some errors, crash or stall - at which point I ask that you please send me your log.txt (to find it, click 'About' and then 'Locate Log') or as an upload in this thread.
I do request - however - that you try to be as specific as possible regarding your build, your computer, and what caused the problem.
Also, if you include the log here, please enclose it in 'code' tags.
Requirements
You MUST have Microsoft .Net Framework 4 installed for this to work.
You will also need the latest Java Runtime Environment
You must also have the ADB drivers already installed:
In Windows Vista/7, just connect the phone and let Windows Update do it's thing.
In Windows XP, you need to manually install the drivers available here.
ADB itself comes with the program, so you don't need that.
How to use
If available, boot into recovery (recommended for non-rooted devices!)
Connect your phone to USB and make sure the computer recognizes it
Run the program, and select 'Test Connection'
After connection has been made, if the build is compatible - select the correct Sense version. The program WILL attempt to auto-detect, but it's not 100% reliable, so please confirm that the program detected correctly
Select distribution method:
Push to Device (Recommended) - does simply that, the program will attempt to automatically patch the phone for you.
Create ZIP - creates a ZIP file that's flashable through Recovery (Clockwork Recovery Mod). Will also offer you to save the ZIP on the SD card (doesn't even require mounting USB).
Show File - will just show you the patched 'framework.jar' so you can do whatever you want with it.
Select any additional options you might be interested in (Gingerbread keyboard, for example - is a fixed Gingerbread keyboard with fixed Hebrew RTL that is compatible with the patch the program installs. It should work on 2.2 devices as well, and replaces the stock Android keyboard).
GO GO GO!
Reporting bugs
Please be sure to provide the name and type of your build when giving feedback or reporting bugs. For better bug-squashing, please also provide your log.txt file, which you will find in the application's directory.
Also, even if you experienced no bugs, your logs will be appreciated.
Finally, if you put the the log content in your post, PLEASE encode it with 'code' tags.​
If you have any additional non-bug-related questions, feel free to ask them in this thread. I will do my best to improve this program as time goes by.
Thank you, and good luck!

Changelog, Known Issues and Planned Features
Changelog
1.5 - 14/08/2011
Advanced build numbers to 1.5 due to massive advances in the program.
Added global error handling - might not solve ALL problems, but will hopefully help avoid unlogged crashes.
When "Install Gingerbread Keyboard" and "Create Zip" are both selected, it will now also install the keyboard on the Zip.
The program will now also try to mount sd-ext in addition to system before patching (as will the flashable Zip).
When patching fails, the program will offer you to save the patched file to your computer for use with ProTools.
In the 'About' window, added the option to find the log file on your computer (for easier error reports).
Other minor undocumented improvements.
Completely overhauled the ProTools:
Offline Patching: Allows patching ROM Zips or 'framework.jar' files directly.
Manual Operations: Pretty much what ProTools was before, except with an easier straight-forward interface and with the option to operate on a ROM Zip file, from your phone, or directly from a 'framework.jar' file.
Added the option to manually push or pull anything to or from anywhere (with specific buttons for 'framework.jar', 'framework-res.apk' (for theming) and 'build.prop'.
Added the option to manually patch the Keyboard to the phone or the a ROM Zip.
1.1.2 - 20/07/2011 - minor update
Improved Sense 3.0 Detection
Updated build detection strings
1.1.0 - 14/06/2011
Fixed critical interface bug that caused the operation compelte / restart prompt not to appear if 'Push' was selected.
1.1.0 - 14/06/2011
Removed support for SD/SDRAM based builds
Instead, created three distribution methods: Push file, Create flashable zip or just Display file
Flashable zip will be flashable via recovery, and will attempt to push itself to the device's SD card.
Version 1.0.0 Beta
Build Detection:
Improved build properties detection
Vastly improved Sense detection mechanism
Sense versions now distinct by Sense version
Added Sense 2.1 (Gingerbread) support
'Pro Tools' (Beta) - Every single function of the patcher can now be called on seperately and manually.
Changed versioning scheme. Version 1.0.0 to be assigned.
Updated core framework files (fixed a lot of stability issues in Sense2.0 builds)
Planned Features
I plan to seriously improve the RTL fix itself in the near future, but since I lack the knowledge to do so myself, I'm waiting for some new methods currently under development by the excellent devs at iAndroid.co.il to be released.
I do plan to release to program's source code eventually, it's just such a mess at this point that I'm more ashamed of it than anything else.
I also plan to include a logcat monitor. Because the patch causes the phone to rebuild dalvik cache, first boot after patching often takes a VERY LONG time, and some users wrongfully assume their phone is frozen. I plan to include a logcat monitor that will hopefully know to differentiate between bootloops, errors, and dalvik rebuilding, so users can tell if their phone is actually frozen or just working. If this works, I might release this as an actual separate program.
Known Issues
Build 1.1.0 - If 'Push' is selected, when patching process finishes, no message is displayed and the program doesn't prompt to restart. - fixed in 1.1.1
There is hardly any error handling in the ProTools section. If they are called with no device available, it MAY freeze/crash the program. Will be fixed in upcoming release.
Fixes for Squashed filesystem roms do not work! Mostly.
Error handling is STILL utter ****e, may give unexpected errors (or not at all and just fail altogether).
If HTC Sync is installed and active, stuff may go nuts all around (as of 0.0.5 this is detected by the program and warns user).

The log indicates that you did everything right and experienced no errors, so there are two things I'd like you to try:
In the 'Toolbox' dir in the app dir, the leftover files from the creation process are left. Try pushing framework.jar manually to the device.
If that doesn't work, try putting 'classes_new.dex' in 'framework.jar', renaming it to 'classes.dex' (thus replacing the old one), and repeat step 1.
If that doesn't work something went wrong in the patching process itself, i.e. my source files aren't good for your build (they should be), the compression failed, or any step in between. Let me know if the leftover framework.jar and classes_new.dex solve the problem, and we'll try to isolate the problem from there.
Thank you all for helping

Thank you
Thank you very much for your great work.

The alignment works great for Arabic, but the thing with Arabic is that letters need to be connected with each other when they are in one word. From what I gather, this means needing to change stuff in libskia.so and libwebcore.so (both in /system/lib/).
For more info, you can check out the efforts to add Arabic support for many Android devices at http://ardoid.com/

Yes, I understand it's a problem with a lot of software, not only Android.
I will try to implement patching of Arabic characters in the future, once the program has a more solid base.

Right, sorry, my bad
I worked around your reported error in v.0.0.2, it was a little oversight I had in interface design.

Thank you for the log.
From the log it seems like there were no errors and that everything went as planned. I'm using the same build as you, so I know it's compatible.
What I'd like you to try, if it's not too much hassle, is this:
In the 'toolbox' dir in the app dir, there are leftover files from the process. Push 'frameowkr.jar' to your device's "/system/framework/" using:
Code:
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
and reboot.
If that solves it, the issue was with the push command (I currently have no method to actually detect if it was successful or not, I hope to fix that in future version).
If even that doesn't solve it, open 'framework.jar' using any zip/rar program, delete 'classes.dex' from it, insert 'classes_new.dex' (from the toolbox dir) into the 'framework.jar' file, and rename to 'classes.dex'. Push to the device, restart, and try again.
If you don't mind doing those things, it would help me greatly to detect where the patching process failed.
Thank you so much, and I promise to include Arabic fix as soon as the program structure is solid enough!

Yeah, well, v002 changes nothing in the process, only the interface.
I'd like you to try, if not too much hassle - to push the framework file manually and reboot.
If that doesn't work, try to put 'classes_new.dex' into 'framework.jar' and rename it to 'classes.dex' and push framework.jar again.
If any of that works then I can narrow down the issue.
On another note, I got reports from other people using DesireZ that the process worked for them, so I know it's compatible, it's just a localized issue.

This doesn't specifically belong to NAND development.
Moved.
(Regardless of that, it's a wonderful project).

[TOOL] AAFC ADB Fastboot Commander - Cross Platform - 0.8.5b (28-06-18)

Code:
*** Disclamer
Be aware that you are able to brick your phone with this tool. I take no responsibility for your actions and/or damage and/or malfunction on your device. If you don't know how to use ADB or Fastboot, read tuturials first. You will be responsible for you actions all alone!
Introduction
Hello guys
Beacause many newbies don't want or to mess with the shell or simply dont know how and experienced users and developers are pretty lazy people i developed a tool which takes over basic actions like flashing/wiping partitions, sideloading zips, push/pulling files, taking screenshots or screen video and a lot more. Of course adb and fastboot commands can be executed as usual over the build-in shell.
Until now its a early beta only able to process basic tasks, not everything works as expected yet.
I've sometimes more, sometimes less time to work on this project, so i cant give etas to future releases!

Version Information
Status: Beta
Current Stable Version: -
Current Beta Version: 0.8.5
Beta Release Date: 2015-06-28
Created 2015-06-04
Last Updated 2015-06-28

How-To
After downloading:
(1) startup
On first start you will have to read & accept the disclaimer. You're able to turn that message of.
Now the main frame should show up. If you have installed android sdk, you can use yours instead the build in by setting the sdk path in ">SDK>change path" to your sdk path (most likely C:/Programm Files/Android/android-sdk). Select the android-sdk folder.
(2) connecting your phone:
connect your phone to your computer. on phone, go to "settings>developer options" and enable "usb debugging". if there is no "developer options", go to "(device) info>software info" and tap 7 times on "build-number". Developer options should be visible now.
Your phone should now ask you to confirm usb connection to your computer. if not, go on with (3)
(3) driver-troubleshooting
some vendors ship their drivers with windows update, they should be installed on first connect. Google also ships drivers for its devices with the android sdk. In all other cases, unplug your phone and go to ">options>device drivers". Now you have two options: 1. try the easy way universal-usb drivers from clockworkmod. Install them, connect your phone and try again. You may open the
windows device manager (WIN+R > devmgmt.msc), there you should see your device (either with warning, or successful connected) 2. search for the right vendor driver.
Choose from the list and install the drivers. May you also search for lite packed drivers on xda/web.
.. more comeing soon

Bugs & Features
Known bugs:
When starting tool not from its parent directory, but e.g. from chrome downloads, setting paths somehow fails (you'll get an error message). To start, navigate to your download folder and start it from there. If you still face problems, delete the "adbfbdata" folder in the same directory
Video recording/screenshots not working (stuck after pulling screenshot/video)
(This happens cause some devices don't allow to pull or write from/to /sdcard. Working on a fix right now)
When returning to internal sdk, the realSdk variable in the properties file is erroneously set to true, which results in an exception at the next start.
To solve this, delete the properties file in the /adbfbdata folder or set "realSdk" to false
Planned features:
Backup over adb or recovery
Multi-device support
Device specific actions (e.g. unlock bootloader on htc devices)
device info storage (online) for specific actions, downloads links etc.
Fastboot support for samsung devices via haimdall command line tool
workspace monitoring and intelligent file suggestions
A lot of gui improvement

Version 0.8.4 online
Version 0.8.4 (build 2787) is now online.
Changes:
You don't need to fill in your devices serial number from now - whenever a device is detected, its serial will be shown.
Currently, only one device can be handled (except from your own commands).
Tool will automatically search for updates and notify you in case of a newer version. You also can check manually by clicking Options->Check for Updates
Version is ready for download here.

Version 0.8.5 online (multi OS support)
Version 0.8.5 (build 2798) is now online.
Changes:
You now can use AAFC on your Mac, Windows or Linux machine! All adb & fastboot binaries are packed within the tool (even 64 & 32bit versions for some linux distributions) Please note: Support for Mac OSx and Linux distributions is still in early development (alpha) which means, you'll be able to run commands on every os, but may not use every gui function cause the gui is only optimized for windows for now. Please post your experiences in this thead or write me a message!
Tool will modify internal files and watchdogs for the current os
Tool will now delete whole temp folder, not only files
Look and feel changed to "Nimbus" on Linux because of Gui problems. On Windows and Mac OSx its the known OS layout
Version is ready for download here!
Troubleshooting:
If you're not able to tick the checkboxes in the disclaimer frame, check if there is a information dialog behind it. May the UpdateChecker tries to lay over the frame, but the disclaimer cannot be overlaid. I'm working on that.
If you get an exception like "File not found", please post it here (like any other exception). To solve this problem, try deleting the adbfbtool folder in the same directory (to reset the preferences)

Hey,
i tried your tool (build 2798) and really liked it!
I used it on my macbook and it worked well. Sometimes it gives me an exception like "file not found", but after a restart, it works again. I just needed it to flash diffrent recoverys while bringing my phone back to stock.
i would like the tool to remember the last directory i choose a file in, so i dont have to navigate through all my folders again. Also it would be cool, if you implement the shown backup/restore and apk install function. and maybe some quick actions like flashing a recovery with just a file chooser dialog.
I'm looking forward to the next update and will try it then!

Hey, thanks for your feedback! The file not found exception will be gone on linux and mac within the next release, it's left from windows-only.
Remembering directories is planned, in fact, i planned to set a working directory/directories, where the tool searches for .imgs and zips and stuff, so it can suggest them.
Quick actions - or something like that- are comeing when everything else is working
APK install is implemented, you're able to use it with the next release, I'm working on backup (both adb and recovery) right now. Maybe it's usable in the next release, or maybe in other future releases.

New Build 2801 (still 0.8.5) online
Build 2801 is now online.
Changes:
You can now install / uninstall apks over the gui with setting command flags
Device detection now start/stoppable
Small GUI changes
Version is ready for download here!
Im currently working on:
Backup over adb or recovery
Multi-device support
Device specific actions (e.g. unlock bootloader on htc devices)
device info storage (online) for specific actions, downloads links etc.
Fastboot support for samsung devices via haimdall command line tool
workspace monitoring and intelligent file suggestions

edit:
looks like there is a bug in screenshot/video recording, it doesn't work in older versions as well. You may try it, but it wont work. I'll fix it with the next release!

Installation
Download and flash cm-11-20150626-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO1L8-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip via twrp-3.0.2-0-asanti_c.img according to ordinary cm instruction. Use ext4 filesystem for /data partition. Boot to android and make sure everything works.
Download SailfishOS 4 image (open browser in private mode if onedrive ask you to login) and flash it over cyanogenmod. It's compressed tarball so installation may take even 10 minutes.
OTA
Read about Stop Releases and make backup using TWRP
Code:
/usr/share/sfos-moto_msm8960_jbbl-adaptation/upgrade.sh
# after reboot execute pkcon refresh to update all repositories
For any issues with upgrade.sh script download more up-to-date version, add --verbose argument or execute commands from real-upgrade.sh manually: https://build.sailfishos.org/packag...bl:4.4.0.68/sfos-moto_msm8960_jbbl-adaptation
At first boot tracker might slow down phone and eat a lot of storage. If it's too resource hungry move your media files out of device or create .nomedia empty file to exclude particular directory from tracker. Then force reset it:
Code:
tracker reset --hard
Custom Bootlogo
vevgeniev created a custom bootlogo:
Instruction how to use it
Known issues
Half screen mirror glitch occurs sometimes. Blank/unblank display fixes it
Sometimes removing files does not have any effect, i.e. free space doesn't increase and sdcard can't be unmounted. Could be easily triggered by mtp or dd usage. For sdcard access use FileZilla (SFTP).
QProcess:startDetached can hang randomly. Workaround added to fingerterm. Looks like it's bug in Qt and it is not photon q specific: https://together.jolla.com/question/202337/bug-fingerterm-terminal-freezes-after-opening-new-window
There are no 2.XG, 3.XG network indicators.
glReadPixels() return empty content in some cases. This means no screen recording, screenshots and thumbnails in browser. Workaround for screenshots added to lipstick.
All bugs at first boot are features.
FAQ
Q: How to run apk?
A: It's not android, you can't

Changelog
4.4.0.68
* Partially usable browser. Javascript doesn't cause crash on almost all sites like in 4.0-4.3 sfos. Tabs in landscape mode are unusable.
* Using browser probably breaks video encoding/decoding ('vid_dec_open() max number of clientslimit reached' in dmesg). Killing minimediaservice/browser usually helps.
* Disabled sailjail, and enabled start up boosters back.
* Few general sfos bugs more (see patchmanager catalogue for my patches)

Thanks for maintaining this for our devices @elros34
I have been meaning to try Sailfish for some time on my RAZR HD (xt926) and i finally got around to it the other day only to find that it wont boot up.
As per the 2.0 thread i can flash CM11 and that will boot and work fine but once i flash Sailfish over the top it wont boot past the bootloader unlocked logo. I have tried both the xt907 and photonq zips but neither will boot.
The xt907 zip did shown some signs of something happening since the led would light up either orange or white but after leaving it for 45 mins with no other signs of life i gave up on it.
Please find attached a list of my device drivers using the following command:
Code:
ls -alR /dev
Are there any chances of this running on my xt926 ?

Thanks, so it has xt907 like partition table, you can't use photon q image. LED glowing means system is booting.
Boot to TWRP then:
Code:
rm /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/init_disable_telnet
Now reboot, connect phone to usb and telnet to it:
Code:
telnet 192.168.2.15 2323
In windows you can use putty but it's hard to copy logs from it.
Then wait a while so logs are complete and run:
Code:
dmesg
journalctl --no-page
logcat
evdev_trace -I

Thanks @elros34
Please find attached the various logs from my xt926.
Note i'm still running Sailfish 2.1.3.7, i figured it would be easier to start with that but if needed i can re-run these on 3.0.0.8
I have no idea what most of it means for the most part but a few errors did stand out to me in particular
Code:
Dec 12 20:20:16 Sailfish systemd[1407]: Failed to start The lipstick UI.
Could this possibly explain why its not booting any further?

Lipstick fails to start because xt926 use different touchscreen driver. Change "/dev/touchscreen" to "/dev/input/event1" in /var/lib/environment/compositor/droid-hal-device.conf
Also paste output of:
Code:
udevadm info -a /dev/input/event1

Thanks @elros34 its working now after changing the touchscreen driver boots up fine. I'm not seeing any immediate issues but will see how i get on with it. First impressions are very good, a really nice os i'm actually surprised at how fast and fluid it is.
Here is the output of
Code:
udevadm info -a /dev/input/event1
Code:
sh-3.2# udevadm info -a /dev/input/event1
Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

I'll also see if i can convert some of the other xt925 and xt926 users for testing.

Absolutely love this - haven't had a single problem yet. Thank you so much elros34.

Could somebody check what "getprop ro.product.device" returns for xt926 or xt907 with sailfish installed?

mounting /dev/mmcblk0p39 on /data failes
Hi,
at first i would like to thank you for building SFOS3 for the Photon Q series, i bought another XT907 to finally get SF running on this pretty nice and tiny handset.
As @drkdeath5000 i stuck at the bootloader unlocked screen but with another problem as the touchscreen driver for his XT926.
I think it's a problem with the partition table here the error from /init.log
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p39 on /data failed: No such file or directory
I followed the installation instructions you provided and flashed cm11, which is booting without issues. I already tried it with and without wiping dalvik/cache, with and without booting to cm11 first. So i would really appreciate your help. If i can provide some more detail just tell me.
Best regards
André

rkdeath5000 get further because he used old xt907 image, you can't use photon q image in XT907.
I have tried to support all devices in one image. I even prepared untested script to update kernel but need a nice way to distingnues between devices. No feedback so far.
Few days ago I came up with different an idea how to auto detect correct partitions in all devices but so far I am struggling with some serious issue in 3.0.2 so I am not sure when I will release it.

On my XT907 it returns scorpion_mini

Thank you for your fast response,
as you recommended Version Alpha3 is running but of course i would like to run SFOS3 So i would like to help you in any way possible.
Best regards
André

If you could test whether this image works (boots without issue and touchscreen works) then it would be great. This is image I just built with new method to detect correct partitions but without all needed patches for middleware so other bugs are not important for now.

Thank you so much! I can hardly tell you how happy you made me I always wanted i tiny handset running on SFOS and finally after i already had given up on that your rom make it happen.
I just started some basic testing on it, as i want to wait for the screen protector before starting to really use it so i'll give you a feedback on the rom later.

3.0.2.8 Released as OTA and new image probably for all moto_msm8960_jbbl devices.
Also I created new patch for Alt+Tab (OK + Tab key) like switching between windows. It's added to my obs repo.

So far the new version alpha9 installs without issues on the XT907. Right now i have just one problem, as in version alpha8 I'm not able to send text messages (SMS). I tried different sim cards from two different networks, so i think it's a problem within the ROM. How could i help you on this? Maybe collecting some logs?

What about Alpha3 or android? To boot android you don't have to flash whole system, just boot cm11 kernel via fastboot. Have you tried to set "Prefer 3G" in cellular settings?
To get most basic logs, reboot phone and try to send sms, then:
Code:
dmesg
journalctl --no-page
logcat -b radio
If it's something more serious then you will need to follow:
https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203761078-How-to-collect-SMS-logs-

Thanks so much for 3.0.2.8 - works great. Really hope you're able to give us a 3.0.3 with the updated browser.
Don't know if you have any interest/knowledge on Maemo Leste or PMOS, but since you're the most knowledgeable person on the Photon Q, just wondered if you could hazzard a guess as to how possible it might be to get them working on this device further down the line?
Thanks again.

Yes, updated browser is tempting so I will definitely bring 3.0.3 when it will be available for ported devices.
Unfortunately I have never ported Leste or Postmarketos so I have limited knowledge here.
With Photon there are several issue like: no sim without modification and no flex cable to buy. Also we are stuck with android drivers and ancient 3.0 kernel with no chance for upstream. It means to run anything (in usable form) other than android we need libhybris. I think there are better devices with more active developers for these systems: droid 4 - have ongoing upstream efforts, Fxtec pro1 for sure will have 4.x or even 5.x kernel. That's why you will not find photon in actively supported devices in postmarketos or leste site.
- Leste use hildon-desktop (x window manager) so it would be probably not trivial to get libhybris based ui acceleration if it's possible at all. Is that os even daily usable?
- After a quick read of Postmarketos wiki looks like it support wayland based compositor like weston so it is a good sign. I was able to run libhybris accelerated weston in ubuntu chroot in sailfish. It has some touch issues but it may be because I run it nested in lipstick. From what I understand if device doesn't have upstream kernel then postmarketos requires ported halium and lxc containers. That might be not possible because of 3.0 kernel but you will never know until you try.
Take everything I said with a grain of salt and start porting. For halium you will probably need newer base than cm11. There are few important commits which are needed otherwise kernel will not work.

SMS issue could be general ofono bug: https://together.jolla.com/question...installing-3028/?answer=205366#post-id-205366
Jolla is focused on android8 base so older bases are neglected. Upstream libhybris is also broken for hybris-11 base.

[Knowledge] About FIH Firmware Build Version Format + OTA Package Name Correction

This article is translated and sorted from my original article in Zhihu (You can treat is as Chinese version of Quora): https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/45079436
FIH, or FIH Mobile is the manufacturer behind all the HMD Nokia phones.

This is what you definitely need to know if you plan to flash a Nokia or Sharp (not the Japanese exclusive models) Android phone.
The "Software Version" in "About Phone" (e.g.00CN_5_620_SP04)is not FIH firmware build version. The exact FIH firmware build version is located in systeminfo partition, or "fver" file in the OTA package for A-only partition based Android phones.
In many cases you can dial *#*#227#*#* to open "BBox" app and check out your firmware revision, take this one from my Nokia 2 for example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's actual firmware revision is
E1M-0650-0-00WW-B01
In somecases, the selinux seems misconfigured for this app, so you can't check anything in BBox or only few of them.
You can also use these methods to check firmware build version:
Under ADB Shell or internal BASH:
Code:
$ cat /proc/fver
Or under fastboot/download mode:
Code:
./fastboot oem getversions
Let's divide it into 4 parts:
E1M - The FIH internal project code or codename. Unlike regular codename (in this example, dynamo), this FIH internal codename is widely used everywhere. A project code stands for a device, so keep it in your mind. Next time when I mentioned a FIH internal codename on Twitter, you need to react immediately - Oh this project code represents my device.
0650 - Firmware version number. This is what you will see such as V0.650. Or it will be combined with branch and revision part (e.g. 0650.B01), which I'll mention later. In some cases the first digit won't change when an Android revision upgrade releases, like Nokia 5/6 from Android 8.0 to 8.1.
First digit means the number of Android version it's running. In this example, Nokia 2 had Android 7.1 running when released and it's the first version, so the first digit is zero. And next version is Android 8.1, so it will change to 1 - for example, E1M-115P-0-00WW-B01.
Second digit means the major function revision. It changes a lot in China. Take Nokia 7 Plus in China for example, from B2N-213C-0-00CN-B04 (April 2018) to B2N-213E-0-00CN-B04 (May 2018), then B2N-233A-0-00CN-B03 (June 2018), B2N-233C-0-00CN-B01 (July 2018) and B2N-242C-0-00CN-B02 (August 2018).
Third digit means bugfix revision. This bugfix is mainly related to FIH itself, like driver issue.
Fourth digit means Android Security Patch Level revision. The base build usually ends with zero or an upper case letter. When a base build is stable enough, FIH will apply Android Security Patch Level with their own patch method and push it to users. But it's usually unrelated. Take Nokia X6 sold in China for example, from DRG-237E-0-00CN-B01 (August 2018) to DRG-237H-0-00CN-B01 (September 2018), then DRG-237I-0-00CN-B01 (October 2018). If you own a leak source of FIH internal OTA packages, you will notice few packages has unusual version, like NB1-5113-0-00WW-B01 (ends with 3) or PDA-209k-0-00CN-B01 (ender with lower case K) These updates are mainly internal minor fix updates and you may unable to get newer updates based on it, so be careful.
Don't care about the third zero.
00WW - Region code. This should be easy to understand. So far Nokia phones only has "00CN" and "00WW". Few variants like Sharp Aquos C10 (Europe Variant of Aquos S2 FS8010) uses "00E0". In fact this is the last 4 characters of the SKUID. I've attached the SKUID_Info.xml dumped from another FIH made phone with codename "ANT", hope this will help you understand the meaning of SKUID easier.
B01 - branch and revision. Recently, Branch A are mainly used on prototype devices, Branch B are mainly used on retail devices. In some cases, FIH decided to swith your current branch to B instead of A, but you can't switch branch B back to branch A due to different signatures.
I think this will help you understand your current build version.

After you understood the build version, let's talk about internal OTA update filename formats.
Internal OTA update packages leaked from either FIH OTA Server of my own private source has a fixed filename format for OTA packages.
Take the recently leaked OTA package for Nokia 5 and 6 for example:
Android Pie for Nokia 5 Differed OTA: ND1-612E-0-00WW-B01-558K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip
Android Pie for Nokia 6 Full OTA: D1C-612D-0-00CN-B01-update.zip
Here's the formula:
Differed OTA: [fih_internal_codename]-[fw_version_after_update}-0-[region_code_after_update]-[branch_and_revision_after_update]-[fw_version_before_update}-0-[region_code_before_update]-[branch_and_revision_before_update]-update.zip
Full OTA: [fih_firmware_build_version_after_update]-update.zip
It will make much more sense after I colored the filename.
With this specific file name format, DO NOT rename it casually, otherwise it can't be recognized with internal OTA update app - anyway, FIH will gradually remove the internal OTA update app in Nokia 7 Plus Global Variant, but it still worth preserves, and it will help you pick the correct OTA package for your current firmware version.
However, Google renamed these OTA packages to it's checksums, it will be harder to restore it as it's original filename provided by FIH.
So my thought is simple - you need to know the firmware build before update and the firmware build after update.
As I said, you can obtain your current firmware version by either dialing *#*#227#*#* or simply read systeminfo partition of your current slot - if you have root permission. But if it's an A-only device OTA package, you can check "fver" file in the package with any text editor - that's what it will be written to systeminfo partition.
TBA: Does anyone know how to dump payload.bin from a differed OTA package for A/B seamless update devices?
UPDATE: Looks like I need to try payload dumper under Linux distro.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At least you will know the FIH internal codename of your device.
When it's a full OTA, you can rename the filename as the formula shown above.
What if I don't know at all?
Simple. Rename it to
[fih_internal_codename]-999Z-0-00WW-B09-update.zip
Nothing can be newer than 999Z.B09 right?
After update finished, you can check exact firmware revision by method mentioned above.
Hope this will help you feedback issues from stock firmware or leaked OTA update easier.
Why did I write this topic?
Because many Chinese users only asked me "How to install B02 update on my device? " But they don't know B02 only means the branch and revision, not the firmware itself. At least please use this expression like this: "How to install D1C-612D build on my device? "

First of all thank you for your kind sharing.. :fingers-crossed:
I know linuxprobe.org reflects OTA files in SWUpdate server for all Chinese OTA
Is there any specific way to get informed about full SWImage package like above?
I have so much problems with finding them by manual changing those 50000**** digits

[KERNEL] [Q] N9600 klabit kernel

As most of you guys know Magisk will not work for us on the international snapdragon S9, S9+, and N9
So, I have made a custom kernel that will allow us to have root on stock pie firmware..
Files needed:
N9600:
klabit kernel V6.5
FK Manager n9600 kernel download configuration link
FK Manager n9600 GSI kernel download configuration link
Copy the n9600_q_vx.zip to your external sd card.
Make sure you have TWRP installed with instructions found in this thread.
Flash the n9600_q_vx.zip
Flash Magisk (only necessary if you have not flashed Magisk previously or if coming from a clean install from stock)
Reboot to system.
If you currently do not have a working lockscreen/pin/fingerprint setup, you will need to restore your stock boot.img either via backup or extract your boot.img from the official firmware and flash the img then flash my kernel.

I don't understand what you mean.
This is an updated pie kernel.
I haven't made anything for pie on the note9 before.

It feels so good to be rocking pie rooted on the n96000. Kinda hilarious because i went and purchased an n960fds last month to get pie/root. I no longer have to live without google camera as it doesnt work on eynos .Thanks alot!

Thank you so much @klabit87 for your continued support of this amazing phone

@klabit87 Thanks a lot for the kernel. I just wonder if after flash, something get lost.. for example encryption.. Samsung health.. or any knox crap dependencies.. Thanks!

Anytime you trip Knox when you unlock your bootloader you will loose something. Encryption is an option and a choice.
Health and whatnot can be fixed but the kernel is not responsible for it.

I successfully compiled kernel with my needed modules, however when using "anykernel" to flash to device, all good except NO WIFI.
I also used the "tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7_by_mkh.mourad" used pulled boot.img from phone to test if tar-tool worked for me and wifi worked, then replaced my compiled Image.gz-dtb , everything works but no wifi.
I pulled proc/config.gz from my working wifi device
then renamed to config_defconfig
then compiled
ran thru tar-tool ,converted to md5.tar
flashed with odin
Works as before NO WIFi
EDIT: Is it possible Magisk has something to do with the kitchen not repacking everthing into new boot.img?
Going to try to repack using magisk tools..
Any sugestions would be helpfull

I meant to respond to this earlier but no magisk isn't breaking wifi. You need to export a couple of variables before compiling.
Code:
export ANDROID_MAJOR_VERSION=p
export PLATFORM_VERSION=9.0.0
add those to your build script or just run them manually before running your build script and the wifi drivers will be included properly.

How did the test build go @Homefix ?

In light of the most recent update to FK Manager see here for details ------->> https://twitter.com/franciscof_1990/status/1215673739435704320?s=20
I have added support for the kernel download configuration which will allow you to update directly within the app. It will also notify you when an update is ready.
Check the OP for the links to the configuration.
Just copy the link address and paste into the "Import a kernel download configuration" box and done.
You can remove and add different ones if you want as well.

Also wanted to note that I will still post the updates in the OP. I am not going to make the updates only available through the app.
With that said, V5.8 will drop today

New minor update to v5.9.
This will make using gsi and most up to date/latest firmware versions much easier and more compatible.

Sorry I was away,
Yes it went perfect. Thank you.
However since android 4.4 I have compiled kernels and modules with ease.
I really don't have the time to commit to my hobby(Debian on Android) like I used to, so my reading and experience has slipped a bit.
Now I read Android 8.0 and up have "Modular Kernel splitting the device kernel into a system-on-chip (SoC), device, and board-specific deliverables ".
For reasons "ensure a workable booting system remains on the disk during an over-the-air (OTA) update. This approach reduces the likelihood of an inactive device after an update, which means fewer device replacements and device reflashes at repair and warranty centers" as explained here: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab_updates.
Well that's all fine but I still cannot figure out how to tell the system upon bootup to load a specific module. How would I load the module from adb or terminal. The older way ,depmod -a , insmod , modprobe, seems to have no effect with android 8 and up.
I have successfully built modules with:
CONFIG_MODULES=y (and not with...CONFIG_MODULES=m)
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
After flashing kernel, I can see the module folders under /sys/module and within that folder is another, "parameters" and an empty "uevent" file. Within the "parameters" folder is a file "oom_pages" the content is "256"
So how would I load say "virtio"
The old way would work:
1st: depmod -a
2nd: modprobe virtio
Not working with android 8
By the way Im using ubuntu 16.04 image mounted here: mount -t ext4 -o rw,noatime /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 $mnt
$mnt=/data/local/Linux
As a side note: I like to play around with qemu , virt-manager, (windows-xp runs fast enough to be usable with this snapdragon)
and I can run full Minecraft , haha.

I haven't messed with modules in a long time. I just include what I want in the kernel instead of building modules lol.
I would have to do a little investigating to find the answer you're looking for tbh.
But that's awesome that you can run such different software on your device, mainly the qemu stuff.
If I recall correctly, you need to allow unsigned modules to be loaded as well as remove lkmauth from the kernel.
