CAT S42 - General Questions and Answers

Greetings!
Is there any way to root this device?
It's with android 11 LTE_C01091.11_NE_S42_1.010.00
Magisk need a boot.img but I can't find it...
Tx in advance

Hey Folks!
I got into trouble and need serious help with my cat s42, android 11.
I had looking for ways to root that device and find few articles about it, all of them saying needed to unlock bootloader. I did it from my linux box and adb/fastboot. What I don't knew it that it's not reversible, I cannot lock it again. The warning said that if proceed, I will need to reinstall the OS.
I really need root privileges once it's full of feature creep but now I'm trapped with magisk (v 23010) and latest kingoroot don't working with the device. It's bootloader is unlocked and device have some instabilities, catterpillar do not provide stock rom or any assistance in the case (shame on it).
So, what can I do? Can anybody give me directions of some procedure that work here? Lost my phone??
Thanks in advance!!!

Oke so you have unlocked the bootlaoder then maybe u could skip the rooting for now and flash a gsi(generic rom) using adb/fastboot ?

Sorry for the late reply happy new year!
When you are going to flash a gsi for the firstime on a device always flash the gsi by phh treble because all other gsi are based on his.
flash that then see if everything works once you have done that look for a other gsi that u might like there arent many that get updated reguarly but i believe linage os does get updated regurally best try that one.
so flash a gsi and then right after magisk in twrp in your case that is not going to work because you dont have a custom recovery so you are going to be needing adb fastboot.
Didnt you ask this on a another forum called highonandroid ?

Thank you mstrnemo and Happy 22!
No, I didn't ask other forums, just searching to something to flash that device...
But you give me some clues to do that, I'll read about treble. I need phone, camera, and gps working and have to see it before flashing, that's the point.

Sorry if im not more helpfull but my knowledge of flashing a gsi is limited i only succesfully did it once.
in your case with no development for your device gsi is really your only option.
Edit: good luck !!! if you do end up doing it let me know i am curious about the results.

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
Firmware

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IASKKK_Y2yrPCZpvNIShRLxOGotfuKKE/view?usp=drivesdk
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.

This is an older thread, but we're talking about an older device. Do you still have these files?

Lenovo s5 (k520) ZUI 3.7.177 ST Got root anyone?

Just got a new Lenovo s5 (k520 running ZUI 3.7.177 ST) but can't root it (tried KingRoot and Root Genius so far).
It has a nasty little OS (ZUI 3.7) which keeps killing apps it doesn't like. It took me two days to find an adblocker which would work (AdClear) after trying Dns66, Blokada and a couple of others which I can't recall. It's tightly locked down.
* Anyway, my question is... Has anyone had any luck with rooting this phone or OS?
* Or, has anyone any suggestions for apps or rooting options which might be more successful?
If there's any other people out there with this phone, I would seriously consider chipping in to buy one for a dev to work with... give me a yell if you're interested.
Cheers,
Specs:
OS ZUI 3.7 (based on Android O)
CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 2.0GHz Octa core
ROM 64GB
RAM 4GB
Edit: Hmmm, I was hoping that the latest Magisk beta (16.6) might help, but no luck. It does seem to get further along but fails with an 'unable to find boot image' message (my apologies for not being able to quote that accurately). Nothing seems able to find that .img. Can't back it up either as no app can find it. Yes, I need to brush up my adb skills ...my last effort ended in an error reporting lack of appropriate key, as I recall (sorry, have a bit of a flu just now). Anyway, has anyone else been able to look at this phone? Anyone have any ideas (or just thoughts) about what I can do here?
Thanks.
Just to update.... I have tried every simple rooting option I can find -with no luck.
I have found one reference to installing twrp & rooting this phone, but I'm unsure how legit it is ...it just looks a little like its put together by a script; but maybe they just copy/paste a lot when writing tutes? (I have written to them but have had no response from them in a week). The tutorial makes reference to a dev/group in China successfully installing twrp, but only on a Chinese release, not international.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows of the group or people referenced at
http://tutoraplikasi.com/cara-root-lenovo-s5/
or if anyone might have an idea of the dev(s) in China working on twrp & lenovo?
Just a shot in the dark, really, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Cheers.
OK, looks like time for some more serious reading and brushing up of old, much neglected skilz... I will probably close this thread and open another ( if there's no objections) in the xda twrp forum.
If anyone is interested, I'm looking to compile twrp for this device with a view to flashing magisk. Hopefully, it will work. Seems that adb & unlocking the bootloader is the only way I'm going to get to actually see the partitions holding the IMG files etc. (Though I do have one or two ideas about escalating privileges/permissions, but that's a whole other bunch of research -and time which is always short.)
Anyway, if you have an interest in rooting this phone have a look for a thread under twrp Q&A.
Cheers.
Seems like it was just a matter of waiting... XN Logos has come up with a solution, it appears --

At least I managed some in depth reading in the meantime. I'll report back on success of the procedure.
Hi I have also a Lenovo s5. I hated zui 3.7 too and I succeded in installing Lineage OS 15.1 by phh using only fastboot mode... I tried rooting It but unsuccessfully. Now I want twrp and if it would be possible even root. Did you succeed with XN Logos?

Haven't actually tried yet. After all that looking for a root solution I now have been too busy. Will probably do it this Wednesday. I'll keep you posted. Did lineage work well? Any bugs or other issues? ZUI is a dog.
Yeah everything is okay... In the previous updates there was a problem with the audio in ear but now is solved. The only thing that is a little (but not dramatically) worse is battery life because in zui the fact that the os kills every app in background makes the battery last longer.
Hey guys, I know it is no the perfect thread for this yet this phone almost doesn't exist anywhere on the internet. I have the same issue with apps closing as you do. I wanted to install Lineage OS yet as there is no official release for lenovo S5. I would really appreciate some guidance on which release would I install and how. Would it be via the twrp? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm a lucky owner of this beautifull beast, the Lenovo S5 K520, but with the horfull ZUI3.7. I always have been using Cyanogen and after lineage OS.
It did not luck for me to install it on the Lenovo S5.
I manage to install TWRP-3.2.2-0713 with the help of the S-Droid toolkit for Lenovo S5.
From there, I did try every rom from phh on this page : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690
but the best I did get is the first logo of lineage OS going on and never stop for hours. I also did try AOSP treble Rom from this site : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659, but there I'm getting the Android text changing of ligth theme, but bothing more.
Could you please tell us the procedure and the version of the software you are using so that you are able to use Lineage OS on a Lenovo S5 K520?
Thanks a lot.

Hi i did in this way...
1)fastboot -w
2)fastboot erase modemst1
3)fastboot erase modemst2
4) fastboot erase system
5) fastboot erase boot
6) fastboot erase recovery
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot flash boot boot.img
9) fastboot flash system {systemname}.img
The only thing you should do firstly is download the firmware from a video in YouTube whose name is like "ROM Lenovo s5" or something like that and extract the firmware in order to have both boot.img and recovery.img. Hope I could help
P.s. I used phh lineage latest build
Lenovo S5 global version stock rom
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if any of you have a copy of the original ZUI 3.7 non-Chinese stock firmware. I had trouble with my phone and contacted the customer service. Unfortunately, they've sent me the Chinese version (K520_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00011.0_O_ZUI_3.7.355_ST_180412_qpst) and now my phone is almost unusable as the rom only contains crappy Chinese stuff... :crying:
All apps are Chinese and it contains no GApps... I cannot even restore previously save config.
Please help me and send me a backup or the original non-Chinese firmware.
Thank you very much
I didn't even know the existence of an original firmware for non Chinese phones indeed when I bought it it came with a horrible chinese firmware with few translations. Did you find it? Because I want to try it too. If you didn't find it I'm also going to look for it

There are plenty of guides available here on XDA for you to read. It's up to you to read and learn but until you are confident then I suggest you don't flash anything to avoid making a mess of things.

Only way to learn is to do. The guides are all pretty clear, but don't assume what you know on previous phones applies here as some things are different. Follow the instructions exactly and you should be fine.
This will get you unlocked: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76564289&postcount=4 (ignore the rest of that thread - some information is out of date)
This will get you trwp and root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-official-twrp-t3801558
Then follow the installation instructions for whatever rom you want.
thanks brother.. one confusion is that if i unlock my bootloader and install twrp .wil i get wifi not connect issue ?
and what about efs ?

Only people who lost wifi were ones who did something wrong and wound up booted into the wrong slot. If you follow the guides exactly, it won't happen.
I have not seen a single issue with efs mentioned by anyone yet.

Huawei g735-l03 (a.k.a Honor 4x) bricked

Hi guys, i wrote this post asking for help
anyone knows how works image downloader tool? (flash tool for kirin based processors)
first of all, i have to clarify that my phone are'nt really an honor 4x, is an huawei g play g735 (same phone but rebranded and with worst stock rom)
i updated my phone with honor 4x roms, all worked well, but...
i tried to flash twrp in my g735,but without success, I followed the classic steps with Christian care, i've unlocked bootloader with nvpotatoes (currently 2021 pain) installed drivers (adb/usb drivers, and COM 1.0 testpoint drivers) i've entered in bootloader and flashed a lot of times (twrp.img https://dl.twrp.me/cherry/twrp-3.5.2_9-0-cherry.img.html) it stills booting into huawei recovery instead twrp recovery, i guessed that might be honor 4x roms tricked in my g play, i tried downgrade via fastboot flashing extracted files from UPDATE.app from g735-l03, i messed up all, and currently i only able to send fastboot and adb commands for my phone, i readed an method consisting of bridge test points and use image downloader tool (cause my phone uses kirin 620, i have to forget qualcom/snapdragon based methods) but there's a kind of format of rom that uses xml instead .app and after several hours looking how can i get this kind of files, i get tired, so... anyone can help me?
seriously i would be too grateful
thanks for reading

One last thing via flash tool could work? I think you can flash it with the phone turned off and here is a several flash files: https://huaweistockrom.com/huawei-honor-4x-che1-cl20

Refer to my previous comments, need more information to the issues and how you got to softbrick. Which guide, is the guide suited to your particular phone eg a/b device vs a only, are you trying to flash a super partition to a super partition or a system image to a super partition via fastboot?
If your not willing to go in to depth into what's happening to how you brick your device, then please stop asking for help, as we cannot help you when we don't know the details of the issue.
Clearly it's only soft-bricked and not hard-bricked.
And if its not your first time installing GSI then the process doesn't change. There a plenty of guides out there.
Simple solution is dsu sideloader to which you will not have to worry about soft bricking your device

Refer to my previous comments, need more information to the issues and how you got to softbrick. Which guide, is the guide suited to your particular phone eg a/b device vs a only, are you trying to flash a super partition to a super partition or a system image to a super partition via fastboot?
If your not willing to go in to depth into what's happening to how you brick your device, then please stop asking for help, as we cannot help you when we don't know the details of the issue.

Again, how what is the error. Just telling me it fails does not provide us the information to help you.
If you are not willing to give the information, please stop asking for help, I will not ask for it again.
You are not providing anything. You are asking for help, and it could be that the guide does actually work, and it is a user input error.
So I will ask for the last time to which If you do not respond with full details of what you are doing step by step, with screenshots and the exact error and the exact commands you have used then I will not be responding as I cannot help you.
So provide the details of exactly what you have done, exactly the commands you have entered (all in one screenshot of terminal is acceptably fine) the exact error, and anything else you think maybe important.
I will not just go and get a full detailed step by step as all gsi are different, most GSI are easier to install with working custom recovery, and are you following the basic GSI rules eg is the system image you are trying to flash the same size or smaller then what is on your phone?
So please provide everything I am asking for, and if not then I will not be replying, someone else may, but we do not have the time to find a needle in a haystack as to what your problem is.
I do not have the time to try the guide and F**K around with my phone OS at this present time and most people won't as who is to say that the guide will work for me, which then still leaves the solution coming down to you providing information so that we can actually help you and find out why it's not working.
I have problem i installed lineage os gsi 20 with dsu and IT works perfectly but when installed same image installed with fastboot IT will stuck on boot can Anyone help me?
