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

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.

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.

rooting DigiLand DL7006 - how?

I have tried the one click solutions and I'm getting nowhere. Even the shady ones don't work. Is there any word on rooting this tablet?

I just got my DL7006 and haven't gotten rooting to work either with the mainstream one-click root systems. Am trying to go the ADB shell route now, but I need to find the TWRP image (whatever that is). I'm a LINUX/UNIX person and I find this Android stuff REALLY frustrating.

I'm also looking for TWRP for DL8006. Unlocking the bootloader was easy.

I've unlocked the boot loader and nothing works either. I have the firmware sent to me directly from Digiland, but even with SP flash and MTK tools I can't seem to get anywhere. I'm no pro, that's a fact, but I've managed to gain root privilege on many devices that mainstream one clicks won't work on. This sucker just won't give up the ghost! If anyone can do anything with the FW I'd be happy to share it. If u make any progress all I ask is share the hell out of it!!

looking to root my DL8006 as well...

If you have the opportunity to send that my way I can give it a shot because this is the tipping point of purchasing to see if it had root, and it is something i really want

See if those work. They are the 2 digiland sent. Keep me posted please!

So there is an unofficial TWRP for one of the 2 firmwares for the dl7006 on the TWRP builder page. I submitted both boot.img files. I can't get it to work. Maybe someone else can.

I'll share the relevant guides that has helped me.
If you want me, or a personalized "guide" for your process, I'll be okay with that, un;ess you wanna totally geek out.
(There are multiple guides, depending on what your encounter, and to use some aspects of the tools)
I can already tell you that this can be a 1-3 hour process to learn and perform, and that the guides will not 100% represent all that you need to do, but 90%.
Note that you just need Wwr_MTK tool, the template for it, SP Flash TOOL and the vcdrom drivers the guide links to! Oh and, an account. That's needed to download files from hovatek.
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21970.html
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-22701.html (If in following the first guide, and you encounter "DRAM FLIP TEST"
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html (Skip to step 7-21, the first guide redirects here on how to use readback. Mediatek tools no longer works, which is why you should ignore that thread mostly.)
With this, you can eventually get the boot.img of your tablet, which should then be patched with the magisk app (doesn't matter where, just get the patched boot.img), then you can use SP flash tool to flash the boot.img and get root! This can also be used to help build your own custom rom, kernel, and even recovery, with a semi automatic process.

Still need a response. And if you are reading this, I may just need a system folder. But if it is included in the rom, then I'll have that.

for god's sake, this forum is dead. I can't rely on support because they are charging me, and no one on here is helpful nor willing to help out. No one hs even replied to this in ages and I am getting very impatient. XDA is dying.

Sorry to hear that no one replied to you.
Unfortunately, the rom development of the Kogan Agora 6 plus is all but dead. There is just not enough backing or public interest of custom ROMs in this device. I would suggest a to replace your device, this device is getting old anyway.
I can give you the Kerbal sources if you have the know-how to make your own recovery image.

sorry for late response but this thread bumped up so i saw it...
anyway, you are in a tricky situation. I heard that you mfgr is resisting to release kernel sources so compiling won't work.
You can ask for a downloadable firmware update via email, this is option one.
You can ask another user of the identical phone to send you a backup of his boot partition (using dd command) but that requires root. This is option two.
And the third option is to force Kogan to comply to GPL and release kernel sources but i guess no one will care.
If you fail to do the above, then you're screwed.
On the other hand, you can act dumb and say that "it was updating and than this happened bla bla". Sometimes it works.
Bye

[Recovery] TWRP for the Nubia Z18(NX606J)

Hey,
youyim123 recently made his TWRP build available that I was trying to compile myself. So without further ado, here is a more or less working TWRP for the Nubia Z18 with instructions of how to install it.
Link to recovery.img
How to install it:
Boot into bootloader using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX606J
Flash the recovery.img using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
IMPORTANT! Navigate to "reboot to emergency recovery mode". Do not use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
as it might not work correctly!
I found disconnecting the device from USB to be more reliable, so do that for stability
If it gets stuck, repeat steps 1 and 4. No need to reflash, just be patient
Language will be Chinese, so change that by using the settings button (second from below on the right)
That's it, you have a working TWRP now Enjoy!
EDIT: DO NOT TRY FLASHING MAGISK AS IT WILL DAMAGE DM-VERITY AND YOU'LL HAVE TO BOOT RESCUE YOUR DEVICE! YOU CAN USE MY recovery script in the bloat remover thread to fix your device
In case you get stuck in a bootloop, repeat the installation guide, then use
Code:
adb push stock.zip /data/media/0
and reflash stock firmware as a last resort until a custom ROM is available.
All credit for this goes to youyim123 and his amazing work! I know he struggled releasing this because his work is often used or redirected without his consent or giving him credit, so I'm grateful he decided to release it.

In theory, yes. In practice, it somehow doesn't give me any GApps when flashing it. I'm trying to cooperate with the OpenGapps team to fix this.

It is stable. Just make sure to unplug your phone after flashing it as otherwise it will probably get stuck after a few seconds. If you need to have your device connected to your pc, do the following:
Start adb sideload in TWRP, connect your phone to your pc, stop sideload. That way you have a working connection with adb again
Hope this helps!

i read somewhere in Nubia forums (chinese language), some dev is going to release TWRP for Z18, but it need poll to decide.
So that, i dont know this version on XDA is official or unofficial ? And as you said, if it is stable, so can i flash Gaap package to get full Goolge and service for Z18? have you tried ?

Already try few weeks ago, not working...!
The only temperary solution is "Google Space", or just wait for the global version release
As one Dev which working on LOS fot this machine point out that Lineage is very hard to compile since there's no other Dev help him, the System is block by something call AVB2...pretty ironic as this twrp not even let us using Magisk at all!

Please read the first post precisely and then the post in the nubia forum again. Youyim is the guy who made the poll and he made it public. I simply brought it to a wider audience and link to his official GitHub for the img.
You cannot flash Gapps with this because it errors. I said so a couple of times before and would appreciate a bit of effort reading before asking. You probably spent more time on writing this than you would've reading the first three post entries here, disregarding the fact that I'm trying to reply in detail. It's all in the first post, please read that before asking next time..
To sum up:
- It's the "official" TWRP from youyim, all credit goes to him
- You can not install Gapps with this, I haven't found a resolution for this but am working on an alternative. See my other thread or post #3 here

It's the same dev I'm the guy working on LineageOS as well and yes AVB2 (Basically think of it as Android's answer to secure boot on Computers) is a pain in the a** to deal with. Compiling itself is rather easy compared to the pain that comes after it, it's just killing lots of time and I unfortunately don't have that with a full time job. That's why I tried getting more people involved but (again) failed apparently.
TWRP doesn't have anything to do with Magisk either. Magisk is modifying the boot partition as far as I'm aware (don't hate me topjohnwu) and it relies on either no AVB/DM-Verity or a flag that doesn't work here either. TWRP in contrast just modifies/overrides the boot partition and is (mostly) used to flash many things including Magisk.

I think Z18 not have a global version, so we'll never see international firmware for this product. The only way I hope is some one or some dev support official method for install Google. And hope good news come soon.
Thanks all!

Isn't a global release coming in like 2 weeks or something? At least that's what I read last time I checked
I can tell you an official method. Root your phone and rewrite google services to system. Otherwise wait until developers can take a look at Rom building like I do now or even better, get involved. Being a one man show isn't helping the cause even if you have a couple spectators because it makes you feel more or less like a monkey in a cage

https://www.gadgetsnow.com/mobile-phones/Nubia-Z18 for instance. India isn't global lol. They mostly just buy masses of phones and then resell. And yeah I can understand they won't release a global version anytime soon. The phone is great but looking at the source code, it's horrible. I even had to submit a patch so they get their build fixed!
As for the download, try the second one. Baidu is blocking anything non China by now afaik. It will also be included in the LineageOS ROM whenever I'll get that done..

...I suggest getting "Oxygen Updater" at Google PlayStore and download your FULL rom ...maybe it will complain about the "wrong" version (India/Europe) but I know I´m in Europe and it´s a CPH2409 ...so I got the most recent full update, in my case: CPH2409_11_A.11 ...you have to download the same version as actually installed
...after downloading the File, get the PayLoadDumperGo from XDA Member ssssut and extract the downloaded file ...maybe you will need to add "liblzma-5.dll" to the directory ...I think you will manage it by yourself ...you will only need the "boot.img" and "vbmeta.img"
...copy the boot.img to your phone and patch it with the usual Magisk method (install / choose file) and copy back the resulting magisk_boot.img to your pc.
...now the tricky part ...and yes, I got the "broken Boot/Recovery Image Screen" and yes I was scared for just a few seconds ...but I solved it and here is how:
reboot your Device to fastboot mode (unlocked) and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot .\magisk_boot.img
DO NOT REBOOT NOW!!!
...you will have to flash vbmeta.img like this:
Code:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta .\vbmeta.img
...now it´s time to reboot and when it´s done just start up Magisk Manager and finish the setup and you´re done ...simple as can be
...best regards

...you can have as much information as you wish or need, just ask
...I don't know how many people tried this ...but I think it's an easy and "TWRP - less" way rooting the device ...I already extracted the device tree and maybe I will have a look at building some recovery ...but it's not really needed or useful on A/B devices with "super partition"
...by the way:
Model: CPH2409
Device: holi

...addicted since Ginger Bread 2.3 as you, Sir
...but, I can understand your doubts ...too many "root your bla bla" and it doesn't stop on XDA, neither ...I can just suggest you to download the "Full Image" for your Software Version in "Oxygen Updater" and expand the resulting "payload.bin" with the appropriate (python ???) tool
...but be sure to know more about A/B partitioning as I did until yesterday
...very best regards

...maybe the device will get it's own section sometime ...but I think, many people are aware of this device because everywhere it's announced as a "lite" Version of the "Core Edition" ...or maybe it's too "cheap"

Comfirmed working over here, many thanks for the instructions

Epic Guide successfully managed to root my phone.
Thanks for sharing the how to. <3

Followed instructions, yet managed to brick mine. It often crashes during boot, and once it makes it through and android launches, the screen is unresponsive. After a minute or so it crashes and tries to reboot.
Because I'm unable to authorize debugging options on my phone, I can't enter any commands through ADB and am therefore blocked from resetting or recovering.

you should be able to launch recovery mode and wipe no ?

Thanks for your reply!
I can put it in recovery mode, but when attempting a wipe it requires you to enter a pin which is displayed on the screen. Since the touchscreen doesn't work I'm unable to get past this step.

...are you sure you downloaded the correct firmware for your device??? ...I know the touch problems or display issues can happen with the wrong firmware because of the kernel module implementation ...if you didn't play around with TWRP or some recovery foo, you can enter fastbootd mode for sure ...because the same happened to me ...and yes, not fastboot ...I really mean fastbootd ...in this emergency mode, you will get Chinese or Korean letters and can navigate with the volume buttons
...and by the way, I didn't know you have to authorize the regular fastboot mode???
...maybe you describe your steps more detailed ...what was the initial firmware version, which one did you download, did you do Magisk patching, did you pay attention to flash to the correct slot, did you patch Magisk during or after the update and so on ...once again: it's nearly impossible to brick new devices with a/b partitioning and fastbootd support ...we will get you through this, don't worry
best regards
