Look in the 'real S-OFF' sticky thread in Development. There's a guide for flashing engineering bootloader, 'dd if= of=' command. The 'of=' part points at hboot partition.

You're back! You're like the transformers...

Yay! I thought it was 18, same as my G2 after all. Awesome, thank you so much!

Quick question. If someone were to say... type:
"#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
#sync
#reboot"
While either in terminal emulator or adb shell then the hboot would be destroyed right?

Yes, most probably so.
You might have stumbled upon a good way to "nicely" destroy the phones with failed eMMC before returning, if I understand your intentions right.

mmcblk said:
Well if the WP is disabled then yes you will destroy the hboot.

Some users with the Dev edition reported after changing to super CID that about an hour later got their dialer disabled and a message of formatting data partition. Reverting to their old CID fixed that.

OK great, I think it's device edition related as none other users reported that. Going to revert my CID too. :good:
Don`t want to ruin the Super CID party, but whether we have trie Super CID or not, remains to be seen. It`s true, that both by hex editing the partition or fastboot command now we get Super CID in fastboot, but what is interesting, that when double checking via adb in live system with adb shell getprop "ro.cid", you will still get your original CID. So it seems CID is stored in 2 different locations now and that fastboot forcing the new CID does not fully finish the task.
Try yourself in adb with:
adb shell getprop "ro.cid"
So old CID still hides in one of these...

Yes I did what you said and it shows my old CID. Maybe this file stayed there and after a ROM update will go away.

I did what you say, but before being S-OFF and super-cid-ed, i was with HTC__203 CID.
Now verified in fastboot and with your method, both are giving me the same result CID 11111111.
I've to say that i'm on ARHD10.1. Does it affect the manner to obtain the SUPER-CID?...Really don't know.

It is for development purposes. It is basically the stock firmware minus the kernel and recovery.

I uploaded the system tar its almost 1GB I cannot pull the Kernel though.

If someone can assist with getting the kernel without root I would be forever grateful. If it is unpossible then please let me know as well as I cannot find a root method that works.

So, what you basicly need is someone with linux who can make a system.img from this, and add supersu and su binary?
And then someone who makes a factoryreset and flash it in odin I guess..
That person might then be able to extract recovery.img and boot.img. Am I right?

You don’t NEED linux, you can use Cygwin with windows, but yes someone can then make system.img or system.tar.md5 with supersu and su.
From there if a root shell is obtained recovery and boot partitions should be able to be extracted from the phone.
Then insecure kernel and custom recovery can be installed.
I’ve done something like this with the T989 but this phone is for someone at my work and so bricking is an issue unlike if it was a personal phone as well there is less motivation to do it if it isn’t mine.

Yes just like that minus the need to unpack it because it is just a tarball so 7zip or whatever should open it fine. I am at work but I believe my home computer has either a linux vm installed or Cygwin with dsixda’s kitchen.
I should be able to manually or through dsixda’s kitchen add supersu and su convert to a odin img and flash.
If it successfully roots so I can at least get a rooted shell so I can dd if=/dev/block/….. of=/sdcard/…img to get a recovery.img and boot.img then carefully cook up a TWRP or CWM recovery to flash then make a “custom” or modified stock rom to flash with insecured kernel.
Anything new on how this is going?

I added SuperSU.apk and su binary.
Scared to flash it without a known good working factory image. Need to read up on a couple things a little more like triple check I can flash just the system partition without boot, etc.

Excuse me if this may come across as stupid or ignorant, but to my understanding the SGH-T599 seems to be an alternative version of the S3 Mini , I think the main difference is the screen size? That being said, can you not use the current existing kernel, boot.img of the S3 mini? I'm basing this off the fact that I had soft-bricked my phone by attempting to flash CWM Recovery but it didn't work, and I couldn't get myself the stock recovery.img file so in an attempt to revive my phone, I substituted that with the S3 mini's and it worked. Although at first every time i turned on and off the phone it displayed noise (TV Static) but it no longer does so.
I would offer being a test monkey, but this is my only phone and I do not have any other phones that I could use in the scenario it does get bricked.

I think it will be fine to flash system.img only as long as you don't use any pit and repartition. Factory reset first to prevent bootloops.

Are you saying you used a boot.img from s3 mini?

What exactly did you use to get it up and running, just the recovery.img, system.img, or boot.img (kernel) you flashed or some combo?
Looks like processor, screen and possibly bluetooth are different
T-599 vs i8190

I just flashed the recovery.img, and (incorrectly) came to the assumption that the boot.img and system.img would work on the phone as well. In fact, I realize I can't access recovery. I was asking whether that the S3 mini's boot.img would work on the T599V as well.
Also, according to this link: http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/24/review-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-mini-gt-i8190-2/
it says the S3 mini uses the U8420 chipset as well, which is why I thought the phones were similar.

The site you linked doesn't mention the SGH-T599 just the GT-8190 and the GT-i9300, did you send the right link?
According to http://www.gsmchoice.com/en/catalogue/samsung/galaxyexhibit/ it's built on same board. ST-Ericsson U8420.
It' same for i8190, some sites say U8500 others say U8420.
The Cydia Impactor root method works on the T599, I just did it to mine. Stays rooted on reboot.

Cool
So, first guy who "dd" will be hero of the day
If partition layout is the same as i8190 it should look like this.
Code:
GT-I8190 PARTITION LAYOUT
Official Name * Fs * Mount point * Known as * Contents
/efs * ext4 * /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 * Efs folder *Device IMEI,mac address etc
/modemfs * ext4 * /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 * Radio *
/SdCcard * vfat * /dev/block/mmcblk1 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 * Internal sd * Your stuff
/boot * emmc * /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 * kernel/zimage * Drivers etc
/recovery * emmc * /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 * Recovery partion * ??????
/system * ext4 * /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 * System folder * The operation system
/cache * ext4 * /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 * Cache partition * Update.zips csc,samsung and carriers customizations
/preload * ext4 * /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 * Hidden partition * Media files,apks etc from Samsung/carriers
/.lfs * j4fs * /dev/block/mmcblk0p19 * param.lfs ## * splash screen,charging animation download mode pngs, etc
/data * ext4 * /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 length=-16384 * data folder * Your download apps, current device and use, settings
/temp * ? * /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 * nedded to load *

* * * when reset is *
* * * triggered *
* * * *
* * * *

I guess boot, recovery, and param is most wanted

Looks like it matches pretty well
So, I used the Online Nandroid app, it detects the T599 as "codinatmo" and doesn't have a patch available.
Manually chose the "Samsung Galaxy S III mini GT-l8190" patch and installed.
Was able to back up boot.img and recovery.img, both 16MB.

Need a copy of mmcblk0

Hi guys,
I am in desperate need of a raw img of mmcblk0. All I need one of you to do is get an adb shell or in terminal emulator with root type:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/unbrick.img count=524288
This creates a raw image dump I can use to help unbrick my device. It does NOT contain any sensitive data like IMEI or ESN, etc... I need MJE on Verizon Note 3 specifically. Thank you very much in advanced!
EDIT: 2/14 11:15am CST I am still in need of MJE N900V image. Surely would appreciate anyone with the time.

This creates a raw image dump I can use to help unbrick my device. It does NOT contain any sensitive data like IMEI or ESN, etc... I need MJE on Verizon Note 3 specifically. Thank you very much in advanced!

Actually it DOES contain sensitive data since it contains ALL 32GB of the internal flash
You need to be rooted and with a decent busybox and do more like:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/unbrick.img count=524288
(this will create a 256MB image).
IMHO you also need to create the debrick image on the same family product - it would be VERY interesting if that would work from a verizon developer edition model (and I would really want to see that tested) but I have some doubts. I would also be interested if any other debrick image would work - I assume you have N900V but IMHO it would be again VERY interesting to try with a N900W8 debrick image (but be very, very careful when you later write stuff with the modem-related stuff, which is very different in N900W8 and you really want to keep your N900V modem and stuff ).

I guess I need to go looking for the right threads, but is it correct to say that the SDcard unbrick method (Qualcomm phone versions) only provides a kind of volatile boot scaffolding so that the device owner can enter Odin/download mode... and that no flashing of the device occurs until the owner actually performs the subsequent flash operation using Odin? (That is, none of the content of the unbrick image is ever written to the device being rescued?)
A second question is whether version locking occurs - I thought I saw someone claiming that a prior release unbrick image, even if taken from the same device (e.g. MI9 or MJ7 prior to a MJE upgrade) will not launch into download mode - is that right?

That is somehow true, but IMHO if all relevant partitions are wiped on the internal flash (from SBL1 to ABOOT) then all those will be read from microSD and have the code and signatures from there, and the "Odin mode" itself will be the version from microSD.
And here we have a number of interesting paths:
- the signature/hash on SBL1 itself is similar among Note 3 versions - that would result on all steps up to and including ABOOT being valid, so the "special Odin mode" will be entered; if the signature/hash on SBL1 is NOT similar between Note 3 families (or even before and after a major bootloader version) not even the "special Odin mode" will be started;
- if "special Odin mode" is started we can see another fork - if the "downgrade limitations" are part of the microSD code itself then you will be able to write any single firmware you were able to write when the internal SBL1/ABOOT was at the same version as the microSD SBL1/ABOOT - in other words you will be able to downgrade as far back as the microSD SBL1/ABOOT will let you!
- however there are some reports that the "downgrade restrictions" are actually stored in the internal flash in the "invisible/protected" regions there - and can be reset with special JTAG-like hardware:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f672/regarding-knox-s4-1775213/
Even in that last case there would still be a small chance that the "downgrade restrictions" might be skipped when booting from microSD since the internal flash could be considered at that point "less reliable" (or hopefully somebody at Samsung forgot to read that extra info on this special path - we can all hope )
So yes, I have also seen some people claiming stuff but I would still like to see more detailed tests on it with detailed reports on what is failing at what point! And especially on the microSD with the N900W8 "happy bootloader" or even with some much earlier "early development bootloader" (I have seen something like that mentioned somewhere)!

My theory on this (for public, bftb0 already knows) is you can boot anything that isn't fused to a lower binary counter, and since these values are inconsistent with firmware updates, it gives you a little wiggle room. AKA if A flag in ODIN is A2, you can not use an A1 aboot (MI9), but I (think) could use MJ7 since it's counter value is 2, same as MJE. These values are stored in AP RAW ANTI ROLLBACK in QFPROM. It is my belief that these values are also accessed from the shadow register as opposed to being read every time, since I was able to downgrade and replicate. I'm almost positive it's pulling these flags from RPMB. I'm extremely curious what P is since I may have full control. P1 changed to P0 when I downgraded my SBL1, TZ, and RPM to the testbit bootloader leaked by designgears, which doesn't make much since I believe all three of those have their own counters.
well ryanbg can summarize when he gets some free time (and I think that there are further experiments in the queue) but an initial attempt at performing a rescue of his bricked retail SM-900V phone (which was on MJE prior to hard bricking by a TZ partition mod) using a 200 MiB dump of mmcblk0 from a MJ7 device resulted in .... nothing.
I haven't seen anything in any of the posts so far about folks talking extra precautions involving repair of the secondary GPT (after doing a raw dump of the unbrick.img to their SDcard media), so I suppose that means that the SDCard unbrick method is - when it works - supposed to be insensitive to the fact that the unbrick SD Card does not have a complete UEFI set of primary & secondary GPTs - and might even have garbage sitting at the secondary GPT offsets.
For the MJ7 trial, we used dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=4096 count=50000 (200 MiB) which is sufficiently large to capture everything including some amount of slop at the beginning of /system (p23). I thought I saw a post where someone was using 300 MB unbrick images, making the claim that smaller sizes didn't seem to work. Doesn't make much sense though, as only about ~ 180 MB are needed for everything up to and including p22. (p1 - p22 are ordered contiguously in LBA address space on the SM-900V, and p23 is 2.7GB, so clearly an intact copy of /system can't be needed).
any ideas welcome
sorry to resurrect this thread, but I can't seem to find a sm-n900v debrick/unbrick img anywhere. i've found the 900T, 900A, 9005 images, but nothing for 900v.
my retail edition n900v is definitely hard bricked and I could use some assistance.
Does any one have a note 3 verizon mj7 debrick/unbrick.img

once you flash the 5.1 bootloader you can not go back to 5.0.x bootloader. i tried and got a motorola error saying mismatch. so if you flash the 5.1 bootloader that's what you're stuck on. what i want to know is, can you still flash a 5.0.x system/boot image even though you're on 5.1 bootloader?
I flashed back to stock other day after running it ..Should that have been affected

I am running Ubuntu if that helps but again, I cannot see the device connected at all. I am starting to think I need to send this in for RMA

yep, in that mode we need a program that acts as QPST (or QPST itself) a 2nd_loader.hex (new bootloader) and a APQ8974_image hex that matches ours nexus 6, once there we can send the basic stuff and get rsd mode / fastboot to work, then we just flash factory images
Your best bet would be to try the Moto X/G blankflash program. It uses an executable called qboot which is a USB loader. It may be possible to use the 8226 programmer to flash the bootloader image back to the device from bulk mode. I'd doubt it'd work, but worth checking out.

Yes, you can go back to the 5.0.x system after updating to 5.1
I just flashed the ENTIRE 5.0.1 factory image, minus the bootloader.
You must obviously already be bootloader unlocked to do so.
No ill-effects whatsoever.
If you do go back to 5.0.x, make sure you flash the radio for it as well. There's a chance you'll not be able to receive calls if on LTE with 5.1's radio, as was the case for me. Only on 3g/4g did calls go through (I'm on TMO, btw)
I had the same calls issue on T-Mobile, I was on a 5.0.2 ROM and had flashed the 5.1 bootloader and radio and a friend said she called me but I didn't get a call. When she came over I had her call me again but got nothing, I could call her though. I booted to a 5.1 rom and had her call me and my phone rang.

Need help putting phone into USB Diag Mode

I have looked at and tried every manual or how to I could find all over the web. Nothing seems to be working. Even if I run a getprop sys.usb.config it shows that the phone is in Diag,adb. However, I am not getting a comport showing up in Windows device manager. Does ASUS disable this process?
Have you enabled developer options in settings and selected "USB debugging" ?
If so, sounds like it might be a Windows driver issue. Grab the latest ones off the ASUS website and post back.

Yes, yes, and yes. Have done all that. Once in Diag mode it is suppose to show up as a Qualcomm comport device. Didn't doesn't even show up for me to install drivers.
when you plug your phone in, do you see "usb debugging" in the pull down menu?
Maybe another member can help with the Windows issue as I don't use that OS.
What are you trying to do?

Yes, USB debugging is activated, and I can ADB just fine. What I am trying to do is put the phone in USB Diagnostic(Diag) Mode, not USB debugging. When in USB Diag Mode the phone will communicate to the PC as a serial comport. This will allow me to use the Qualcomm Utilities to possibly edit and unlock LTE bands on it.
Ah, my apologies, I thought you meant debugging mode.
Maybe someone else can chime in to assist.
Have you tried a different computer? Post a link to the software, I'll try it on my Linux box. I could really use this software on the ZenFone Ultra if it works.

Yes it is the Ultra that I am trying to use it for. Posted here because there is more traffic, and thought maybe the devices are close enough that if someone figured it out on the Zenfone, that it could translate to the Ultra as well. There are multiple guides on XDA, but this is the main one I was trying to follow:

Although I do admit I have been bouncing around from guide to guide, basically everything that Google search could uncover.
You'll be my wife's hero if you can get this done. Post back how it goes.
Edit: I see the ZenFone 3 ultra zu680kl on willmyphonework.net shows different 4g bands than the phones for sale on gearbest. Which bands did you need and do you have any idea why they're different? I was looking at the global version not the China one.

I need 2, 4, and 17
I need the same, lol
In my researching, there was one guy that said he got it to work with an asus rom with an app called "ASUS log tool e". I downloaded that firmware, extracted the app and tried to install. It didn't work, said the app already existed. Maybe there's a hidden one already on our phones?
I also tried win7 32bit and linux, can't detect my phone either.
On updating to nougat, I have lost root explorer (latest version from the play store doesn't work). I'll keep messing with it.
You find anything?

wait, lol. sorry the computer seeing the phones an a comport part works. I am in the process now of trying to edit the bands. I will report back soon, hopefully with good news.
Lol
Ok, well to test that you have successfully enabled them, the app "network signal guru" is the only one I've found that displays the correct in use LTE band.
Good luck!

Not looking good​ so far. I get right up to rewriting the NV values, but Everytime I reboot to set the new values they always resort back to the original values. From what I have read this maybe a fail safe setup in the kernel by ASUS. In which case I can get around it with a stock custom kernel. Non of those lying around. I have no clue how to even compile one myself. So more research I must do.

Did you happen to get the correct SPC code for QPST? I have read there are issues writing the NV values without the correct SPC code, how did you get it? I tried reading 00085 (sec_code) and get a "no diag response". Edit: I updated qxdm and confirmed it is 000000.
I am trying to do a full NV backup through the "software download" part of QPST and it doesn't complete. Have you been able to? I'd feel more comfortable if I had a full and proper QCN backup before I started messing with it.
Are we assuming Asus injected the anti-tamper code into the stock kernel only? So compiling the stock kernel with unmolested source code should be all we need?

forgot to add some partition info I got when I was bored. I made some dd backups of all the partitions too, just missing the QCN backup file.
EDIT: From what I've read, the IMEI info is stored in the modemst1, modemst2, and fsg partitions (mmcblk0p24, mmcblk0p26 and mmcblk0p27). If a QCN backup is not possible, I would definitely advise backing up these.

doctahjeph, have you made any progress? Did you write "0" value to 6828/6829 before writing 134283487 value? Have you tried the new Lineage OS rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/development/unofficial-lineageos-14-1-ze520kl-t3587178), maybe it'll allow you to write if you just flash the kernel from this rom? It'll definitely FC like a mofo but might be enough to write the NV values.
I tried this on my wife's phone, the Le Max x900, got into diag mode, re-wrote the nv values , even got the new LTE bands to show up in network signal guru but it won't switch to them (I deselected band 7 and it wouldn't switch to 2/4/17 like my zf3 does). I'm not sure this works for all the phones, unless you've found some other info out? I'm wondering about NV 1878 which I've read needs to be changed, but if there is no version of the phone that comes with those bands enabled, there's no way to know what the value should be. I tried flashing a modem from a similar phone with those bands enabled and soft-bricked it, lol.
anyways, if you need any values from zf3, let me know.
Any luck with this. I am donating 500 bucks to anyone who solves this. Enabling all Lte bands to work
