firmware.mobi - Miscellaneous Android Development

This is the discussion thread for firmware.mobi.
This site replaces my old central CF-Auto-Root repository, and aside from letting you create and download CFARs, also lets you download stock boot and recovery images for many firmwares and view all sorts of information about them.

I honestly don't know how you find the time! Your dedication to the community is phenomenal.
Many will welcome this from noobs to devs. I know I'll find it handy in my endeavours.
Thanks.

Sir
If you want a great repository on the stock firmware of the various brands then you may refer to needrom.com which I think is according to me as a great repository of the stock firmwares and the boot images can be extracted from their.

i don't know what to say
i don't know what to say , things we can do is to donate chainfire i will send my contribution because you take a huge times to help us and we want to thank you by not saying "only thanks" but donate "money".one more times thank you

Try using Chrome or Firefox. Seems to be an issue with IE/Edge. I'll check this out later.

Another question, I see that the 950w firmware is from May, if I uploaded the newest firmware would you be able to add that in??
Edit: works on chrome but not Firefox or IE

I have attempted time and time again, even with your new site, but i cant get CF Auto Root to work on my Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) SM-J327T and my Galaxy J7 (2017) SM-J727T. They are both coming back with SECURE CHECK FAIL (RECOVERY). Others Methods i have tried failed for SECURE CHECK FAIL (Cache) which i was told meant Locked Bootloader. That being the case, why is Recovery failing on your root method.
If it is a Locked Bootloader on both devices, if there a way around this?
Thank you in advance!

This has already been explained to death. Chainfire even reiterates it on the new website.
Binaries, that includes recovery and boot images, that are not signed by Samsung CANNOT be flashed on a bootloader locked device, period.
No matter what the method.
Firmware.mobi doesn't add some new magic that can bypass bootloaders. It's simply an automated process.
It still stands that if your device has a locked bootloader it simply will not work.

Wow... Thanks for the hardwork.
Trying to generate for A9pro A910F 7.0 but failed. The only setting that i know for qualcom is to set cache image as ext4 type. After flash with odin internal storage corrupted. Need help for actual setting regarding the encryption.

@ Chainfire: Hi Sir: thanks for your great efforts to help the android community, really appreciated! i have generated cfar_google_pixel-xl_marlin_opr1.170623.026_t1.zip for Pixel XL. I want to root, can I just flash this zip file, or do I still need to flash the SuperSu as well? Could you please outline the steps? What's the best use of CF-Auto-Root zip file from firmware.mobi? Thank you!

Hi, ive been trying to upload zips of the Nvidia Shield, OnePlus 3 etc, however it keeps giving an error and I am not able to upload it.

Extract the ZIP, instructions inside...
It does install SuperSU.
Though you say 'flash this zip', which implies you have TWRP, in which case you can just flash the SuperSU ZIP and don't need CF-Auto-Root.

How big are the firmwares?
Can you put one of them on drive and link it to me so I can test if it has something to do with the firmware images itself?

Max upload size issue on the server. Should be fixed now. I uploaded the nvidia one, you can do the OP3 one
Still, it would be better to extract the boot and recovery images, then zip those up.

Help finding Lineage ROM for Samsung SM-J530Y

Hi,
I am new to this forum, so may have missed the obvious ..
I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro (SM-J530Y) and am looking for a Lineage ROM for it. I have found one for other versions of the J5 Pro (specifically [ROM][UNOFFICIAL]LineageOS 15.1 [8.1][J530F/G/S][10/05/18] - I would add a link but for some reason my system no longer copy and pastes .. )
I have used TWRP and set up the phone, and tried to load the ROM listed above, but the install ends with the message:
"E3004: This package is for device: j5y17lte, j5y17letub; this device isj5y17ltedx.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/lineage-15.1-20180510-UNOFFICIAL-j5y17lte.zip'"
I read this as I have got the wrong ROM zip file to load onto this phone. Can someone confirm this?
Also, can someone point me at a ROM image that will work (or more than one if there are more than one ...)
Thanks,
Tony

For 8.1 ROMs you need a newer TWRP version , take the latest one and I think you won't have this problem anymore

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply.
I downloaded TWRP a few days ago, at the same time as I downloaded the .zip image, hopefully it is recent enough. It is version 3.2.1-0.
Is this recent enough? If not, can you point me at he latest suitable version (I tried looking around but as I am not familiar with the various sites, it still is a bit daunting.)
Thanks,

Hi,
Sorry for the confusion - that is the version of TWRP that I used and it gave me those error messages.
From your reply then, it looks like the TWRP version is not the issue.
Can you suggest anything else?

Ok , it look like your device isn't the right one , because the codename verification revealed that the ROM you've flashed isn't for your device's variant.
I don't know why I didn't think about it earlier, but now you have the right answer .
If you want to flash something , you have to know what's your phone's codename , now you know it's "j5y17ltedx".
Try to find the zip file for your variant.
And also press the thank button if I helped you
Download Device ID from the Google Play Store then it should reveal the code name of your device. It should be the same as TWRP shows. You should only flash ROMs that matches the device codename on the device.
The application lists out your registered email account on this device, the device codename, and your Google Services Framework ID. The one you should be looking for is Device Codename.

Hi,
Thanks fro looking at this.
From the error message I get, I assume that the devicename is: sj5y17ltedx
Is this correct?
Note that I have got rid of the default Samsung operating system so cannnot boot it anymore (Since I had a ROM I thought would work I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I may have been a bit hasty ...)
I have tried to search for that name (sj5y17ltedx) but there are no hits in this website (xdadevelopers). Does that mean no one has built a ROM for my version of phone yet?
Thanks,
Tony.
There are currently no ROMs that supported your variant instead of the stock deodexed version of the Stock ROM.

Hi Tony
Looking in to this device for lineage os and found this post

ROOTING Note 10

Hi all,
Someone know How can I Root my device?
You can not yet...
First stage would be unlocking the bootloader ... which Huawei now deny you the ability to do.
However it appears someone is offering a working unlock service.
People are reporting it's legit for the P20 / Pro.
Be careful though.

As a fresh owner of Honor Note 10 I was curious if it's possible to have the bootloader unlocked. Just finished chatting to the admin from the website and he claims that YES, they offer this service for 30EUR. But then I asked him if there's an actual way to root the device and he wouldn't know. My point here is: there's not much of a point to have an unlocked bootloader if you can't get the root on the phone. I think we will have to wait a bit longer till someone gets a working root method. I wouldn't mind to pay for having the bootloader unlocked (for reasonable amount of moneyh) as long as it works...
You can't have root without the unlocked bootloader.
So of course there isn't a root method yet ... because no-one was previously able to unlock the bootloader.
If that is now possible, then a root method will inevitably come.

Given Huawei's recent dull attitude that reads something like "LOCKED BOOTLOADER is for your safety only" (BLAH BLAH BLAH), reasonable doubt of a commonly available ROOT for this magnificent device is more than imminent...
But hope is all there's left, right
If one enterprising individual has found a way, and is charging €30, then others will find a way too, and will provide it for less / nothing eventually.
He's just the first, and good for him.

Hmmm... there seems to be some work in progress alright regarding a custom TRWP for Note 10, if the google translator works fine, that is:
https://translate.google.com/transl...m/thread-17327282-1-1.html&edit-text=&act=url
And the bootloader unlock code might get somewhat cheaper, too:

Let's wait and see, I guess
Just to keep this thread alive, does anyone happen to have an access to the Chinese Huawei club forum with TWRP recovery? I'm unable to download the img file there as it requires to have a chinese phone number to register on the site. All it takes is to have that file downloaded. I'd like to volunteer to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP through adb interface and try to root the Note 10 with Magisk or SuperSU just to see if it works.
Anyone with Chinese Huwaei ID willing to download that file, as seen here:
https://club.huawei.com/thread-17327282-1-1.html
Any help is much appreciated!

Can anyone download Official rom 108 from below baidu link. Atleast it will be useful for recovery if something screwsup. baidu is somehow extremely slow to download and connection resets for me after few hours. Please share once you are able to download.
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1-JF43jLbz2WcTMurYHm0Hw
Password : 6c52
Process :
Unzip the compressed file and copy the dload folder to the SD card.
forced upgrade:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Note10 three physical buttons (volume up and down keys, power button) until you enter the recovery to upgrade
2. If the upgrade is successful, the machine will automatically restart into the system;
Tip: If there is a problem with the upgrade failure, please check whether the SD card upgrade package is copied to the specified directory and the upgrade package is the SD card upgrade package of the product.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated?.
The good news is I got my bootloader unlocked. The bad news is the apk file requires root, which I was hoping to obtain by flashing a custom TWRP image. I thought that's what it was available in that Huawei club Note10 forum...
Ah well, we have to remain patient till someone actually releases a working TWRP for Note 10. Sooner or later, I guess ?.
Cheers!

How did you got it unlocked?
i know there are many pid sources but was waiting for someone to confirm they really work for note 10. Can you please share where you got it from?
Sure, I've posted the link already:
https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
I chose the fast 1-20min option and it was done that way, indeed. You must pay upfront, of course. They generated the unlock code for me and all I did was a few lines in cmd powershell while phone was in fastboot mode.
There's an ugly message coming up everytime I boot saying that my device has an unlocked bootloader?
But we need a custom CWM or TWRP image now?
I wonder if there's a stock boot image of Note 10 floating around online, perhaps in Huawei Chinese forums?

Just did some digging there and actually, you can find a working firmware file 125 for Note 10 online. Chances are even the latest 132 build is there somewhere on Chinese forums...
I'd recommended you to get the bootloader unlocked from the link above, if you have a good idea how to proceed with root? My skills are way too limited, I'm afraid?.

Thanks for your reports.
TWRP image file is included in K-RecTools_8e.apk.
Rename apk to zip and decompress it, you can get the twrp.img.
i will be a Guinea pig and see if it works. i should have my bootunlock code from the link above soon and looks like we have a twrp (hopefully it works) from a few posts back. i shall try and download fhe 108 firmware just in case i get bricked. when i get home. will keep you guys posted.
TWRP INSTALLED MAGISK 17.1 FLASHED AND SAFETYNET PASSED. ADWAY INSTALLED, SUCCESS
NOTE I AM ON B132 AND IT TRYS TO GET ME TO INSTALL B132 THROUGH SYSTEM UPDATE WHICH IS 3.9GIG

OK now. I managed to flash TWRP on the phone successfully. However after i tried to flash Magisk, the phone remains unrooted So it's a no for me. Any idea why?
There's a red error stating coming up twice: failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy). But the Magisk zip get installed anyway. So what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: the bloody TWRP is password protected. My pin password doesn't do the trick...
EDIT 2: OK, just removed my lock screen in phone settings, no errors in TWRP anymore. But after I flashed Magisk (no erros again), phone still remains unrooted? What the hell?

Successfully Flashed BNTV450 Stock Rom on BNTV460 Nook 7 (2018) Tablet

Greetings my tech peoples.
Just wanted to let everybody know I successfully flashed a BNTV450 Stock Rom on a BNTV460 Tablet. As I said in a previous post, I bricked the little guy trying to get root (it got stuck in a bootloop after I patched Magisk to the boot-sign img and then flashed it) so I thought, why not be creative and see what you can do with the little guy.
Now there are problems. A **** ton of problems. It isn't what I would call functional. Screen keeps going Red on the borders and flickering. Start thing crashed. But I can get in and finagle to developer options and such. Flashboot and ADB still working though. Keep in mind I flashed with SP Tool via scatter file.
But hey - it can be done!!!!
Also, just for note, I've also been able to flash a boot img of the 450 over an installation of the 460 stock rom - did that unlocking the device. Honestly, that caused less problems but I wasn't able to get root. Also, it naturally erased my unlocking but fret not, I've unlocked the thing 3 times in the 12 hours I've had it.
This is my first nook device, and my first timed dealing with new android, Oreo. But I just wanted to give the hope out there.
Hopefully better news in the coming days.
You wouldn't want to share your scatter file and your stock firmware would you? Trying to recover a 450 that won't boot past Nook screen. I cannot unlock it because the volume key does not respond. I have been able to flash 1.02, 2.04, and 2.05 boot and recovery images from ipdev's thread with no change. Also got a 1.02 system.img from him but that did not seem to fix it either. I do not have adb access at this moment either so cannot logcat.

Scatterfile is in there. Keep in mind I got it from an unverified source - use at your own risk just in case it has that piece of software in the OS that B&N knew about which you can read about here: https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/22/the-new-barnesnoble-nooks-come-with-free-malware/

The link just defaults to the mega home page for me. Am I missing something?

Sorry bro, it kept redirecting weirdly. I reposted the link in the previous post and it should work.
Here is also the site I got it from: https://www.xsfirmware.com/nook-bntv450-mt8163-android-6-0-firmware-flash-files/
Back up and running. Thank you.

No prob dude.
If spflash tool is working, but you have not a correct scatter file. You can use "Wwr_MTK tool" to read back the whole emmc and read partition table from preloader, the tool will make scatter file and full image copies of the firmware partition by partition
I did this, but now I can't log into the B&N account, and if I try to open nook settings, it asks me to log in, and again, it doesn't let me...

@PizzaG - Question for you - I see in one screenshot that there is an option, "enable fastboot". I have an A501DL, and currently using mtk-su with Magisk successfully, but no access to fastboot to unlock bl, and no chance of r/w access in system otherwise. Could this help me get into fastboot, and, if so, is there some way I could try to just make that happen, without necessarily using the program?
Here's more detail, if you want :

You have to have the fastboot lk to unlock bootloader. Unless you can find that, not gonna happen.
PS- 1 option that comes to mind is trying to flash a bad boot to the device with sugar and then hope and pray that it reboots into fastboot. It's my understanding that fastboot is still there, just the commands to get to it have been removed. I was able to recovery from a bad brick on my device by flashing a bad boot to it and it rebooted to fastboot. Get ahold of me on Telegram if you'd like to discuss itmore

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to mtk. I guess by 'lk' you mean little kernel. From the searching I did, it seems a bit over my head. Is there a way to get that?
I'll look into Sugar at some point. Back on my Xperia XC running Sailfish at the moment..

Yes, Little Kernel on MTK is where fastboot lives. I have a couple ideas you could try to force the device into fastboot . Our fastboot lk's we were lucky enough to find in an old dump. Best bet is to scour the net looking for the oldest dump you can and pray the fastboot lk is enabled. You can find me here live: https://t.me/Android_General_Chat

ROOT- HELP Needed

Hi guys,
I tried looking for this info on different forums online, couldn't really get to it.
TL;DR version- Need help unrooting/rooting back properly after update.
Anyway, I rooted my phone using Mac, OP7(phone) and some YouTube guide, and it worked like a charm. (Magisk, TRWP, the iso image, etc)- the only hiccup was I lost app data, but story for another day.
However, everything stopped working after an UPDATE!!
Thus, now I am caught between two worlds, where my phone is rooted- fastboot, but I am not getting any advantage- my adblock app(which had inspired this quest), or magiskhide(banking apps) are not working.
I tried doing the process again, but I think I am missing the right .zip files or versions, searching for them online is becoming a rabbit-holey adventure to no avail.
Attaching what I think are relevant files, for version details.
Thanks kindly.

Thanks for pointing that out.
Just to be clear, I am to perform the whole flashing-and-rebooting exercise with the zip, and image files(of TWRP, magisk) given in the links on the post you mentioned?
I am asking specifically w.r.t. version-updates, since the post is a bit old.

The thread is updated recently by myself and I'm still using the OP7, now with Android 11 hence it should also work. Noone wrote that it's not working anymore at a specific step.
Your bootloader should be still unlocked hence you can skip this step.
TWRP 3.4.0-10 and latest magisk stable(not canary) should work.

Hey,
Thanks a lot for the prompt replies.
My TWRP got flashed properly. But I am having issues with the "Magisk.zip" file, little digging around has led me to the discovery that Magisk manager and Magisk have been combined. In any case, I am unable to find the "Magisk.zip" file link in the GitHub directory.
Further digging proposes a method where some "customrom.img" file has to be patched via the application.
In any case, my Ramdisk on Magisk app is now a yes- this seems important.
And, I want to "I -want-to-say" flash Magisk but lacking the lead.
P.S- yeah, I didn't realise the update date was mentioned below, thanks again. I apologise in advance for other "noob" questions, I think I posted the question also in the wrong place- I'll try and keep up. Cheers.
You can use this attached one if you don't find a zip. For the first rooting: You can patch img files with the app and flash it, that's new since magisk 22 but not so convenient in my opinion.
The update process remains the same as described in my guide(using the magisk app).

I figured it out man. Thanks again.
The step I was missing is "magiskvxx.apk" has to be renamed as "magiskvxx.zip".
Cheers.
