Wohoa.
Good God!
The JIG may work bro!
But, Rather give it to the service center.
Make sure you do a noobish way of yourself.
And, tell them that is happened on its own!
And, Mister, Why did you even try to flash Darkyy's ROM? o.o

You have a big problem there buddy, I've read about this somewhere recently and they said that they will need to replace the board(motherboard?). As the other users suggested you can try jtag, or just send it to Samsung

No No!
They wont replace the motherboard.
They will just do a FULL-SOFTWARE restore!

thanks for that mate, i will PM you, but for the Benefit of those who might be following the thread and run into the same issues, let me say i have tired SuperOneClick and it failed and also tried Unlock Root and it failed, so i searched the net for hours until i came across a Chinese site (had to translate it) and it says that the phone needs to be bootloader unlocked first, and the Huawei site can do that for you if you give them the required info like S/N and IMEI of the phone and so forth, and the process takes 3days so im waiting to see what happens,i will update accordingly,
for now thats the only way i think i can get to root the phone, if there is any other way please let me know.

You are welcome mate, i have been reading on it from the Chinese site and it seems the unlocking of the bootloader is a must and at present only the Huawei site can help with that, and please note, the "global" part of the site doesn't have the phone but the chinese part of the site has the phone and the original updated firmware and kernel, if you ever need it. I am on day two of my wait, will keep you and all who are in the same boat, posted.
Cheers

Hi
Why u need firmware for the g330? Is it just for the ROOT access?
If so, it will not need to find new firmware. It is possible to take root access in your current official ROM.
I will share if u need.

Could you please tell me how to root the u8825d,i have unlocked the phone,thanks

Make sure your phone unlocked and installed Recovery.
1.Copy the attachment"Root-U8825D.zip" into your phone(internal SD or external SD)
2.Power off
3.Press V+ and Power button the same time, go into Recovery
4.Select the "root-u8825d.zip" and install it.
5.Restart
You will find the Super user then.
Good luck

If you have unlocked your bootloader and need help with rooting and getting clock work mode, or still need help in unlocking the bootloader please feel free to pm me, and if you also need roms for this phone please pm me,I will be happy to help where I can. Wish you all the best.

I don't receive the phone yet. But I already know how to root phone. When the phone arrives I'll let you know :laugh:

Hi,
i just got one during a trip to china. I managed to unlock the bootloader (thanks to your information).
However, I can't get the Root-U8825D.zip installed. I get the following:
...
E:signature verification failed
E: update fail and delete temp files
Formatting /cache
Installation aborted.
Anyone experienced and solved this? I tried loading the .zip from different sources, but same result each time?
Thanks!

[R&D][WIP]Port Galaxy S3 to Android kitchen

UPDATE
THE KITCHEN OFFICIALLY SUPPORTS OUR MODEL, THE SCH-I535. Here is the the thread.
THIS IS NOW RETIRED.THANKYOU TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED THIS
What is this project?
This project is port over the GS3 onto the Android kitchen so it can be used with the rom creation and tweaking feautures of the Android kitchen.
What's the Android kitchen?
The Android kitchen is a free tool that allows the creation of rom's and tweaking other roms without codeing.
Want to test?
As of right now i have all the testers needed.
UPDATE: 8/30/12
- The error 6 while flashing is gone now i think, but has been replaced with error 7 now.
-Found a problem with the update-script
-Made a rom with the kitchen used Beans rom. Looking for testers please pm me if you'd like to help.
-After going through some scripts a noticed that their might have to be multiple scripts for other GS3. This might much more simple then i thought. Will test later on.
GOALS FOR THIS PROJECT:
Update busybox
Support for all Galaxy S3 devices
Full support for all Android kitchen's features
Fully stable/bugless
Progress so far:
folder for GS3 variants
edify_defs file made
check_ script made for the verzion gs3
NEEDS TO BE DONE:
edify_defs for other models
Other things that are not known yet
edify_defs for vzw GS3
I myself am currently the only one working on this, if anyone would like to contribuit to this feel free to pm me email me or gtalk me (at the end of post)At this time we are only working on the verizon version of the GS3 ,untill we have a compelte understanding of what has to be done and finshe porting over the Verzion model thats how it stands.Neither of us have a a different model then the d2vzw.If we ever need testers this is will we will ask.This might be easy it might be not. As of now we have a good start, we will contuine working day to day on this. All updates will be above.I"ll be using beans stock rom for testing i take no credit for the rom only this port.
A Big thanks to dsixda for making the kitchen!
Email: covenant123dx @gmail.com
Thanks to Josolanes for testing !

Droid3r is sadly a troll, or at least he's portrayed himself to be as of late. For Bean's I've been working on a theme cusromizer, and once that's solidified I was going to make it work with the major ROMs. If someone could donate web space, I have no problem making a nice web-based system for all the ROMs.

OP - good idea, this will be very helpful
I personally do not like 30 different stock-based roms
A kitchen where people can pick and choose what they want is a wonderful idea

I totally agree with you. Hopefully this wont be too hard to do. Theirs already support for the Nexus and GS2 so that's a start.

It's a tool that helps tweak and make roms without writing code. It makes the process much simpler and easier.

did you add the galaxy s3 device script to the edify_defs folder with the correct partitions labeled for our phones? I am pretty sure kitchen works better with Non Yaff devices than with?

In fact I used the ORANGE TRIANGLE on the right side for informing the admin. I did not even have to make a post. Everybody have to be responsible and read the rules on posting. Otherwise xda forum becomes cluttered. If you do not like what I am doing then you can also report me. No problem for me.

Sorry, I goofed and put it in the wrong section. Thank you for the answer! I assume with this method I will lose all data? Also, will the CWM be overwritten by a stock bootloader because it's a stock rom? Do I have to use a special bootloader because I'm upgrading to Jelly Bean? Thank you!

You're not supposed to lose data since you're upgrading but backup just in case. CWM will be overwritten by stock recovery, reflash CWM after updating.

Status 0 is where there is a problem with your update- binary. Replace the one you had with one from a different 4.4.2 ROM that you know works.
By the way, do you mind uploading the original ota as well as yours? let's see if we can get Silent OS on other devices too

Can I assume that I should upload the files to something like spideroak or mega.nz and post the link here?
Appericate the assistance.

Sorry for the late reply. I have just started back at university and have two major assignments to finish by the end of the week.
I'll upload the files either today or tomorrow and post a link on here.
Again, thank you for help.
***for other new people to flashing etc***
As an update, got through process of using flashboot and sideload for the fist time which I am thinking of uploading a YouTube video on this which may explain a few things which has taken me a long time figure out by myself - or it could be just me???
I did get to a stage where I was stuck on the HTC logo and was still able to get into the recovery boot screen etc. I found out that I had at somestage while trying clockwork mod or cynogen, had deleted / formatted the system (sorry for the laymans terms). Anyway, managed to install an old stable cynogen mod rom on to the mobile which was fun for awhile until I wanted to update and the path / directories for the update weren't valid, giving me a status 6 error.
I thought it was a bit strange as the updater script was the same.
So I went back and reformatted the mobile through cynogen, wiping the cache / data etc and then used the ADB sideload to install the latest 2016 nightly cynogen mod which works. I will also say that it is a very good and basic version without all the Google rubbish.

The link for Silent Circle Source Code
Just go to the support.blackphone.ch website and search for "Where is Blackphone's source code"
This will take you to a github silent circle page

That's only for their apps by the way. Silent OS and PrivatOS are both closed source sadly

Sorry again for the late reply. Trying to finish off the assignments for university this weekend.
Re: Link (https) ota-update.blackphone.ch/blackphone-4.4.2-1449161691.zip
I received confirmation from Silent Circle that this is the latest - (I have an account with them)
Hoping the Mega file link works - let me know.
Blackphone OTA 4.4.2-1449161691.zip
Have a great weekend.

Mega link does not work as it asks for a decryption key.
OTA zip works, but within all files are dated June 2014.

Help Me please
I have the Blackphone BP1 model handset from silent circle,it's powerfull it's good for privacy privatos isn't bad for the anti privacy features side,but the lack of google services has driven me crazy,I'm an end user I try to contribute if I find any mods along my path to modding things and have placed some tutorials online in the past,xda forums included,but I have a bit of a dilema I'm no developer and I just cut my contract sim off I have a freedompop sim to my horror it uses google services to enable the app to use it this is not present in privatos can anyone instate google services for third party apps please or develop a moded rom to make it google so I can use my contract sim.

Basically the best way is probably modding a blackphone 2 firmware which has google play services to work with the blackphone bp1 device surely it can be done??? I'd do it if I were a developer but I lack any tuition in the field,but I'd love to learn how,the only drawback is I suffer short term memory loss only very few things stick in memory,they are usualy hands on repetition training,I am theoretically a computer technician but no formal certification,and I have picked up the modding thermal mods and software mods,eg.flashing and rebuilding rom based os's when damaged but this is a totaly different field for the uninitiated,android file structure alone is daunting enough to make me think it's too much to remember,but I allways persevere and that's the only life lesson or educational school lesson I remember a motto "perseverance is the key,if at first you don't succeed then try try and try again" And in modding I will happily sit a day and not give up then come back to it I'll persevere until I get the answer is no or wow it just worked,but I wouldn't often remember the exact process click for click,so when I hit the mark and figure it out I try to drop a tutorial out there for others,just hoping someone can help me here as I am absolutely out of my depth,I use other tools prefabricated to get my mods done and there are none in place I know for this phone,it's the only thing I have I can't get the better of right now.And it's kind of a challenge I want to win at lol.Any help would be advantageous guys so chip in if you can,must be thousands of people need help with this but lack the expertise.Pm me if you would like to offer some advice if you need to thanks in advance love the site and the passion the devs here show,just wish I could contribute more.:good: Pc and laptop diagnostics hardware software I'm here for you but development software wise it's above my head and I'm out of my depth unfortunately.Show me an inch of how and I'll somehow make a mile usually though.I'm MOD1T or modit as I call my self on youtube,formerly I went by ouyashimming lol,no idea why?Because I liked the novelty of ouya and trying to get the best from it before it dissipated as a brand.Now I'm into the shield android tv console,check it out forgive the lack of skills in the editing and my narration in videos but some one or two say nifty hardware mods in there.

Yes, it would be the best base. Blackphone may have put other proprietary feautures within PrivatOS that are incompatible with other phones (like in the kernel). Don't get your hopes up good luck though
