Hi everybody, this is my first post, though I've been a reader from a long time ago.
Long story short: I received this milestone 2 from my brother, my other phone is a defy (cm7), I use both of them, updated to cm9 on milestone, milestone kaput, need help, has anybody got a clue on what is going on with my phone?
Last night or so I grabbed a copy of the latest CM9 rom from the forum, installed it and really loved it. Except for two messy TINY things. except for that I cannot believe I got almost 2 days of battery out of it!!!
First issue: Google apps, I mean anything google related, won't work and FC. even if I am am on the browser, and try to type an address, the second google search kicks in to show suggestion dara! dead google crap.
Second Issue: Home button won't do anything. I mean the phone does vibrate when it is pressed, by the way I already chcked for key assignments, not even long-pressing it will show any response except for the vibration.
Third issue: Say Im reading something, lock my phone... when unlocking it, it won't show me the lockscreen, even though it is activated.
at first I said "ok let's swap launchers maybe I can make it go away" and so Ive tried ADW ex, trbuchet and a couple more, with no success, going back to ADW regular, a very nice thing here, is that video recording has worked well since the first time I flashed the rom.
Thanks for your eventual responses!!
I almost forgot: this is what I have done until now: flashed and reflashed at least 6 times, flashed gapps, flashed gapps fix, in many combinations, wiping the hell out of the phone every time... I'm really stuck in here!
Ive also searched not only the forums but the internet aswell, and I find my googling skills pretty decent to be fair
New developments!
So, I got a little curious.. I had installed on my milestone the ics alike cm7... or so I remember, (if it was a theme my bad, anyway...) I was going through phone information, and I noticed something strange:
Android version: 2.3.7
mod version: CyanogenMod-72-111215..........NIGHTLY Milestone 2 gb
Build number: Gingerbread GWK74 CyanogenMilestone 2
so one does not have to be a genius to just see that I *may* have not applied the update, or that the updating process was somehow incomplete.. question has anybody who has ever applied CM9 on their phones came to this issue?? have you applied the update via cwmod or stock recovery or wtf am I doing wrong here uh?
I am really, really puzzled!!
cm7 has a theme that make it looks like ICS but its still a gingerbread (2.3.x android version).
CM9 is the real ICS.
You installed CM7 with a ICS theme, as we can see in your mod version: CyanogenMod-72-111215..........NIGHTLY Milestone 2 gb
knew that already!
yup dude, you are totally right, I may have confused you people along my post...
I have had installed CM7 with the ICS theme, the one with the 2.3.6 android
However, I grabbed a copy of CM9 from this forum (the one based on tezet's work, that first one on the dev thread...)
I flashed that file via cwm..
and I've had, as I state on mi first post here, flashed, reflashed, recontraflashed the thing, and resseted my phone to factory so much that it has got to be newer than brand new now... just kidding..
anyway, thanks for your interest man, my bad!
I've just re-read my post.. I never mentioned that I already had installed CM7 on my milestone!
LOL.
Try this:
In the bootmenu you can choose between "stock" "custom or "latest" recovery, try with a different one i think it worked for me when i used custom recovery.
LOL :S
Dude lol I think I've just messed up BIG TIME.....
well seeing how it didnt seem to work out any way, thanks for pointing out the other recovery methods btw.
I may have not told you the whooole story
the freaking usb connection wont work.. it hasn´t worked since I got the phone nor it has worked now.. the charge led will never turn on, or will the pc or mac or whatever I plug it into react somehow to it.
anyway, I may have flashed the rom again in stock recovery and this is where things got nasty... It doesnt get past the boot logo, which by the way, was the red M logo, the last time I remember it to boot (even after re re re re re re flashing the CM9 rom!!!!!) it had another one.... weird uh????
now it gets even weirder just read this thing!!!
The phone will get past the red M logo, then the screen goes black, but I can see it is lit...
I waited for a really long time (more than 30 minutes) to see no response..
took out the battery... did not power it on again as i had stuff to do..
I dont know why, but I plugged it into the usb cable.. (I was working on the computer) And the phone turned on!!!!!!! so I guess It is not a busted usb port???
I went on ahead to go to bootloader, and when I plug the cable it is shown as such!!!
sadly, rsd does not recognize the phone as plugged, even though the phone says it is indeed plugged in...
what the hell is wrong????
is there any way I can flash anything if Im stuck after the red M?
this sucks
Oh man...
There are 2 versions of gingerbread kernels, the chinese and the European. As i understand you've flashed the wrong version (CH rom over EU GB kernel or otherwise).
You can try flashing the fixed_sbf which is the CH kernel. Or you can try the below, which is my suggestion:
Download the 2.3.4 EU (UK) SBF flash it through RSDlite and then root, installl bootstrap, bootmenu and then the CM9 EU GB rom.
TWO IMPORTANT THINGS: NEVER INSTALL 2.3.6 VIVO OR PERSONAL ARGENTINA SINCE THEY ARE UNROOTABLE!! And also never use RSDlite when you are running low on battery.
And the MS2 is safe for flashing since it has a locked bootloader so its VERY hard to brick it. Your screen is black because it is in the bootloader mode.
Do not Vivo and Claro 2.3.6 roms
Be careful, VIVO and CLARO roms should not be used.
dafuq!
Nite! my man, I´ve been careful enough to avoid flashing wrong kernels so no, the answer is not there..... sadly...
I cannot interact in NO way with the device via USB, so flashing through RSD is a no-go.........
I do have another phone though.........
so the main prob here is now I do know what to do.. I think I´ve always knew rsd is the way to go.. as for the locked BL, yeah! Ive been into motomodding since the c350.. I really think I do know my way in the motorola mess if you know what I mean, OS may have changed but the system's structure's still the same **** from the old days!...
Basically now my question is this:
what the **** can I do given what I have??? (a non working usb connection, and a phone stuck at Bootloader OR stock Recovery....)

if power+up arrow and then flashing via rsd don't work for you
you only have two options - first is power+x and then @ which gets you to build in recovery (try to wipe or find an update.zip that can be flashed [if there is any - never did that myslef])
or flashing from your custom recovery if you have one installed
that is all i know (but i only have milestone since tuesday )
good luck anyway
Geez man!!!
So have you tried using another usb cable? Cause i've exhausted my theories about your problem... sorry
every freaking cable
As I got it as a gift, I thought my defy´s charger was "not powerful enought" even though that was absolutely ridiculous...
I went and try to buy the charger but nobody in here seems to know the pnhone so I would be kind of afraid to take it to service
Une petit question
so I think I found a really good site with *loads* of firmwares, branded debranded, official etc...
just to be sure, I tried to flash the update again in stock recovery (pwer + x) but at some point the installer promted some error about signature verification in the whole file.
so my question(s) are:
can I make a file *signed* in any way? if so can you point me out where and how to start?
and just to be on the safe side: If only if only I can grab something that I would be able to flash via stock recovery... I should flash a 2.3.7 based one right? If I do try and flash something lower I would make my problems worst right???
btw, If the phone freezes or sometimes goes through the red M, but there is no led lighting up, can I still go into custom recovery eg. CWM???
About the signing the zip file, yes you can, but i don't know how search in the "Android Development" section. But sbf files cannot be signed... if you discover how you will be the MS2 savior!
In the CWM you can flash just about anything as it can be reversed by flashing sbf's, on the otherside, YOU SHALL NOT FLASH!! Any VIVO or PERSONAL ARGENTINA 2.3.6 rom (sbf) cause they are unrootable. You should do just fine flashing the 2.3.4 UK.
And i don't think you will be capable of entering the CWM if the led doesn't flash cause it's an error that happens before CWM is started. In this cases you will have to flash sbf's, root.... all over again.
thaks man, but......
then the only way give I cannot flash under RSD, is making a "completeupdatewhateverCMorMIUUdafuq.zip" signed so I can load it through stock recovery rite???
remember CWM not availible.. nor USB interface...
will search though on "signing" an update file, yes that 2.3.4 UK you said.. from there I'll just try to make it match my defy
a little discovery!
Source: http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/
When publishing an application or a custom rom you need to sign the .apk or .zip files with a certificate using a private key. The Android system uses the certificate to identify the author of an application and establish trust relationship between applications.
The classic way of doing this was to use keytool then sign it with jarsigner. In this tutorial i’ll explain an alternative method which is relatively easy to use for most people using a tool called SignApk.jar.
SignApk.jar is a tool included with the Android platform source bundle, you can download it from here.
To use SignApk.jar you have to create a private key with it’s corresponding certificate/public key. To create private/public key pair, you can use Openssl. Openssl is relatively easy to use under unix/linux system. For Windows user, you can download Windows version of Openssl here.
How to create private/public key pair using openssl (windows version)
Download openssl package from google code link.
Extract it anywhere...
Within openssl directory type (using cmd admin mode: ctrl+shift+r then cmd):
- openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024
- openssl req -new -key key.pem -out request.pem
- openssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in request.pem -signkey key.pem -out certificate.pem
- openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in key.pem -inform PEM -out key.pk8 -nocrypt

}
(dload SignApk.rar)
Extract it anywhere
If you don’t have java installed, download and install it.
Copy certificate.pem and key.pk8 into your extracted SignApk directory
Within SignApk directory type (again using cmd admin mode: ctrl+shift+r then cmd):
java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 your-app.apk your-signed-app.apk
OR
java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 your-update.zip your-signed-update.zip
Note:
If you don’t want to create your own public/private key pair, you can use test key included in SignApk.rar.
Sooooo now what the hell do I have to sign???
LOL I'll go for the update I was trying to install at first... if anything goes wrong I'll just take it to service I guess have the USB repaired and RSD the hell out of it.. after all this is a reaaaaly great great phone uh?
maybe I should go first with the UK you suggested man?
About my last post
Hello everyone, so... the signing didnt went well LOL -.-
I guess I have to make the "signature" to match moto's right?
how can I get hold of that signature information? I mean can I download a signed (official) update, which is flashable via stock recovery (is there any???) extract the signature information, and then apply it to my package??????
Ok, now just to put things on the clear side: the instructions in the last post were not written well, but you may already knew that if you read the post.
anyway, as for the problems I ran into:
1: ctrl shift r does not do ****... just typoe cmd on the start menu, right-click it and run as admin.
2: It is EASIER if you copy everything to the root of your drive, and give files and folders short names!
3:
openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024 <here you may run into an error regarding openss.conf.... just copy openss.conf from openss directory to openss/bin/ directory....
openssl req -new -key key.pem -out request.pem
openssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in request.pem -signkey key.pem -out certificate.pem
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in key.pem -inform PEM -out key.pk8 -nocrypt
ok from now on it is pretty straightforward, I haven't got time to play around but, There is a step in which the program asks for your Company's name, adress, etc.. maybe if you knew what info is in motorola's signature you can make this fields match??
well I don't know.. but ill try and discover it!

Nope and nope. Please learn something about signatures, how they work etc. You can't (obviously) "extract" the private key from the signed file... The signing would be useless then - don't you think?

Stop it. You just wasting your time.
Your real options:
1) Get signed update.zip from Moto (I don't think there is any and I did not saw any)
2) get your USB port fixed and flash it via RSDLite. (if it is HW problem - just fix or get it fixed, otherwise, you are doing something wrong)
RSDLite and SBF flash is your only realistic option.
RSDLite works everytime. You can not break (except for HW issue) your M2 the way, it will not work with RSDLite.

Install Instructions
The recomended install method is through fastboot, this requires a unlocked bootloader. Once you have a S-OFF bootloader you will require fastboot. Reboot your HTC Droid Eris to bootloader and place fastboot and the psfMOD recovery image in the same folder. Open a command window/terminal and run the following command.

w00t! Thanks.
Has anyone tried this?
I assume the same bricking exists with this recovery since it's based on clockworkmod recovery right?

I have it on my phone. And it works.
As far as bricking, I have not had any issues with clockworkmod. And I have been using it for months.
Little help please
ok, so I installed psfmod. I verified that it's installed correctly. Now, how is Gaia manager used? I downloaded the zip file but there are no instructions. Can someone shed some light on what to do after flashing the psfmod recovery?
Thanks! (yeah, I'm a newb to PS3 jailbreaking)

Put the Gaia Manager on a usb flash drive.
Reboot into recovery. Go to PSFreedom. Select your firmware. Power on your PS3 by hitting the power then quickly hit the eject button. If done properly your should see two new items in your XMB.
Thanks, that worked. I'm backing up one of my games now. Do I have to boot the PS3 this way each time I want to play/backup a game or am I done once I have gaia manager installed?

Its working
Hi all its working for me been staying up to date with it evn tho i am quite the noob lol. just wondering i cant seem to get a 3.42 required game to work and apparently this update solved that? using it on my desire. and with OM new version or evn the 2.d or e says unsupported payload if i apply the patch. and the game still doesnt work. also tried with the new gaia manager rc9. anyone get a 3.42 required game to work. The game im trying is EA MMA.
Update: the psfmod has been updated for the problem i was having now all 3.42 required games working. New PL3 paylod included. 0.9.6.5 released. WoW this guy is jus tooo gud constant updates.
Im using an HTC Eris with 0.9.6.5 and Gaia Manager RC9 and I still cant get MOH to work. The update installed fine from .pkg on flash drive, but everytime I try to launch the game it says the firmware needs to be updated.
Any clues?
Series of event:
Originally had PSFreedom (first version)
Ripped MOH to internal using BM (first version I believe)
Tried to play, no go (asks for firmware)
Tried to update from USB .pkg, no go (asks for firmware)
Changed to psfMOD 0.9.6.4 and installed Gaia RC9
MOH backup installed without issue. Did not ask for firmware update.
Tried to run game. No go, asks for firmware.
Updated to psfMOD 0.9.6.5 and still will not run the game. Keeps asking for firmware.
Hopefully someone can find something wrong that Im doing so that I can play this game soon!
Also, I never did the external to internal transfer thing, I didnt edit any files, and I didnt strip out the 4GB MOH Frontline.
If anyone can help it would be MUCH appreciated!
mayb this could help
I had similar probz to begin with i think once uv got the 0.9.6.5 installed that side is sorted now the issue becomes with the loader. it didnt work for with RC9. the one i used and worked with was the Gaia Manager 1.02 final release. jus google it ul find it.
Hope that helps.
((should prompt u after loading the game to use patch. also dont change the fw files in the game leave as original i think thats a must. has to be original untouched game files not the ones changed to 3.41 otherwise wont work))

Ive updated to Gaia Manager 1.02 and it asked if I wanted it to edit it and I said yes. It went to the screen to install the data and just sits there and hangs at 0%. What else can I do to get this to work??! I REALLY want to play MOH...lol
Im not too sure mate :S lol. i did that and it worked for me rite away. Are your sure its not a modded game rip? with the files changed? .....Sorry mate i cant think of much else to do. OHHHH!!!! theres something like that happened to me with a game before. Its not that the game didnt run because obviously the game started so your psfmod and the gaia manager are doing there job. Its because the game is installed on the internal. thats why its hanging on the install data bit. Im almost 100% sure thats the prob mate. Didnt read that bit in your post lol. try it on external and remove the one on the internal and from what i can tell theres no reason why it shouldnt work after that.
Hope that helps mate. ((fingers crossed 99.9% sure thats the prob lol))

As you know, the AAHK has expired and is no longer being developed by the author and there is no official support more!
For this reason, there is now Phiber's 2000 AAHK2, which has already grown according to your wishes and will continue to grow.
The original script was adapted, bugs were fixed, and unnecessary things were removed and slightly the HBOOT was modified.This should also work with Unlocked DHDs by HTCDEV.

-Unzip the "RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.6 0.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_rooted.zip"
-Copy the "PD98IMG.zip" as a single file on the SD card
-Start HBOOT loader and wait few seconds
-Confirm query with "Volume Up"
-After successfully flashing confirm the query with "Power"
-Remove the SD card
-Let android boot
-Insert SD card
-Delete the "PD98IMG.zip" from the SD card

Great but the download link i would mirror as it currently stands there is no free download slots at all so no one can download the file. Just a heads up. Use Mega if possible.
Yep but i think Phiber2000 dont wants it. So we cant mirror it.
Well Phiber2000 will find easily that people will not download the file then. Putting it on a host that has no free download slots from time to time where there is something like Mega where there is no free user slot limit is stupid. Its upto the OP all i was doing was stating a issue. I don't need AHHK i have my own way of doing the same thing from work i have done with a fellow member on here.
Ok i will ask Phiber2000
"I don't need AHHK i have my own way of doing the same thing from work i have done with a fellow member on here. "
I am interested in your work. Could tell me something more (PN)?
Its basically like AAHK using the same source but was scripted a different way. It used the same files but had more options on the recovery.img's and was also a two batch file system.
Only Difference was the Hboot after says AHHK and OP's just says Unlocked.
I asked Phiber and He said that he doesnt want mirrors. Nobody is forced to download AAHK2. If somebody is feeling sick because oft the download speed then its his personal problem.

No free slots for free users! Hmm.. mods pls close this thread lol.
On the serious note, for someone who really really want to s-off their dhd, just use aahk. Even though it is no longer supported, if you really knows what you are doing, s-off is easily achieved. The documentation is PERFECT and all the FAQ is provided. Although the file is no longer in attn1 server, you can still download it from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2193681 (READ THIS THOROUGHLY)
For someone who actually not confident to do this but still want to try custom rom, unlocking bootloader will be a better choice. So, ask yourself what do you really want and how is your comprehension skills. :cyclops:
Why are here all against the DL Link. If there arent any Slots then just wait. You could be some more thankful

AAHK destroyed my friends DHD!
AAHK is only for skilled people!
AAHK2 is for Noobs and skilled people AND IT WILL NOT BRICK YOUR DEVICE
EDIT: THE FILES WERE MIRRORED
I was asked to test the free download links on this.
I was begining to think it was true that there are actually no Free download slots. I tried many times over several minutes and every time it said no free download slots. BUT after some minutes of clicking the "return to download link" it did actually give me free slots for all the downloads.
Not ideal, but it does seem possible to get a free download.
Mike
Thnks and as I said the files were mirrored to uploaded because of the problem with share-online
aahk was also made for noobs, but people were too dumb to read the freaking manual. that's mostly the reason why attn1 closed the door for aahk. the aahk wouldn't brick your device unless there was some human error involved.
also if anyone has the file i can mirror it.

How to Flash Succesfully Any verion of Firefox OS
Get the Build(user.img,boot.img,system.img,data.img)
download a build from here http://elsimpicuitico.wordpress.com/firefoxos/
make your own with the mozilla guide (so stop here and follow mozilla guide)https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Building_and_installing_Firefox_OS
get one from a friend
Plug-in your Alcatel Fire(Hamachi)
Make sure you have the "Remote Debugging" enabled(Settings > Device information > More information > Developer > Remote Debugging)
Look inside the .zip/tar.gz you had downloaded,there some "flash" files.If:
You are on windows:double click on "flash.bat"
You are on linux,open the terminal in the folder you had unzipped the build,and type"./flash"
Done
If you have a consumer phone, not a dev edition, you will not get root access on adb.
So you have to do this in a Linux machine(or with Cygwin):
shutdown phone
power on pressing "volume-"
it will get 'stuck' into the "alcatel" logo. don't worry it probably worked, this is the screen for fastboot mode as well.
plug in your computer and check `fastboot devices`. if any error here, go read one of the thousands guides for fastboot and android usb drivers
get any boot image from that page. ideally one from the same country as it may matter....
flash the boot image on your phone with. test first with `fastboot boot boot.img`. if it works, redo the above steps and make it permanent `fastboot flash boot boot.img`. You need any boot image that has default.prop setting the user for adb as 0 instead of the default 1.
If you want the ClockworkMod recovery i can update this post to explain how to flash it .
If you will have any problem ,I'll help you and I will update this thread with your problem with the fix
Some infos
When you turn On your Alcatel OTF,you have 4sec to hold "volume-" button just after powering it up. It will stop at initial Alcatel’s logo.If you are ona Linux computer you can confirm that it is connected by typing "fastboot devices"-
Th Codenme of this phone is:Hamachi.

just follow the points. and when it mentions "look for a guid on something" it is because there are already a ton of video-or-not guides on that stuff
any point in particular you are having trouble?
But a warning, it is unstable. the shipped image has pretty much everything you need anyway (a stable browser)
upgrading to 1.4 will give you almost nothing else new. The browser still has no extra options. no add-ons. nothing. just tabs, back foward, clear history. that is all. most of the changes from 1.1 to 1.4 were in the gaia (ffos launcher) and even that, weren't too interesting ones to being with.
my advice is to stick with the shipped image if you are not going to code for ffos. Or at least help submiting bug reports.

Root part. Don't have clue how, but I found friend coder who knows this stuff so hes gonna try first.
I have intention on building apps for Firefox OS only, so I would like to see new versions, since Telenor in my country is retarded, they ain't relased 1.3 yet, even its been almost a month since relase. -.-

Having a device in the older version is good for that... just so you have an idea, i got my phone in a mexican store. it came with 1.1 and no sign of update ...ever. so your users will NOT be on the latest version anyway.
i suggest you simply use the emulator. develop. and ocasionaly test your app on your 1.3 device for performance and multitouch tests
if you really want to flash just to test apps, not to use your phone daily, you don't even need root just to update the image. unless you want a backup...
just use fastboot to overwrite the system partition (the user interface and gecko code). No root needed. just 3 steps:
1. boot with volume down.
2. plug USB in computer when it gets stuck on the white alcatel screen.
3. `fastboot flash system <name_of_the_file_with_system.img>`
that is all you need.
you will still be able to re-do that any time, so, go crazy. there is no way to brick the phone with that. (your system may be unusable if you use a bad image, but you can always flash a good one later on)
Well I want to use it daily, using apps and stuff like that, but also want to develop. I thought to try for this low device until some better phone came, or even tablet, much faster and stronger, than that will be other story.
Actually,will ship:
The ZTE Open C has a 4-inch, 800x480 display, a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, 3G networking; 1,400mAh battery, 512MB RAM, 2GB flash storage, and 3-megapixel camera. The Spanish carrier Telefonica will sell it in Venezuela and Uruguay in the second quarter of 2014, ZTE said.
The ZTE Open II has a 3.5-inch 480x320 display, dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 3G networking; 1,150mAh battery, 256MB RAM, 2GB flash storage, and 2-megapixel camera. Telefonica will sell this model in six countries
The Alcatel One Touch Fire S, the company's highest-end model, has 4G LTE networking, a 4.5-inch 960x540 IPS screen, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and support for near-field communications (NFC).
The Alcatel One Touch Fire E is a step down. It's also got a4.5-inch 960x540 screen, but not with in-plane switching, and its 1.2GHz processor is only a dual-core model. Its rear-facing camera has a 5MP resolution but its front-facing camera is only 0.3MP.
The Alcatel One Touch Fire C is the clear successor to 2013's model. Its 3.5-inch 480x320 screen is the same size, but it now is accompanied by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor. Its camera is pretty low-end, just a 0.3-megapixel model.
and DO NOT FORGET the 25$ model:
Allwinner A31 (1.2GHz); Cortex-A7 Quad-core, PowerVR 544MP2
4.5-inch screen (FWVGA 854×480 pixels)
Cameras: Rear: 5MP / Front: 2MP
3G UMTS quad-band (850/900/1900/2100)
8GB memory
256MB -1GB RAM (adjustable by developer)
A-GPS, NFC
Battery capacity: 1,800 mAh
Wi-fi: 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, Micro USB
At the moment,iìm using my Alcatel OTF as main-daily-use phone,for twitter,mails,pictures,web-browsing,call&texting(+ Whatsapp),and i admit ,sometime he get me angry,but at least ,it's good,for a simple and daily use,but i recommend the 1.3 vers,1.4 it's buggy.
I know all about those new phones, It's kinda my job to know that.
Main reason why I'm not using as daily phone casue my main number is not in Telenor network (Thank God to that, they are most expensive here and yet give less free sms and minutes then other two) and in one shop they couldn't unlock it, whatever code they get it won't work, so I will wait little more and find new shop.
We already given up from Telenor relasing new version, believe me, they gonna relase 1.3 when 2.5 comes out. Mark my words.
I have a question about back up. Do I have to back up? Or can I simply root and then instal? I have no Idea hwo to back up image on Windows.

If you want a device that works in US you can always buy one of the ZTE Open or Open C from the ZTE_US ebay store.
The Open is pretty much the same as the Alcatel Touch Fire

Thank you for your guide-resume
I was trying to build the latest Firefox OS master branch, but unfortunately, due to some issues, I can't do it for now.
Unfortunately, the builds which the blog Simpliculitico gives are modified ones;
I'd like a clean pure one;
can someone send/upload an allready built and unmodified master image for One Touch Fire? I have no friends who can send me one
Thank you so much *
I tried to follow the instructions and got help on irc to create the custom kennel for that dammed phone.
Two weekends later and i failed every single time.
Never got even a half working one.
Also the one from the blog is far from perfect...

I'll post only the Android 4.2.2 versions of the rooms, if you want, you can update them by yourself with the OTA. It is because at the moment you can root the JB - version more easily. (FRAMAROOT for 4.2.2 Jelly Bean versions only!!)

for download click on the green button on the top right side:
1. Drivers
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, whyle you are downloading the ROM, lets look at the drivers you'll need.
At first you need Lenovo USB Driver [from this site] version 1.00.11. 9,28mb
Next step youl need some other drivers and tools:
Driver for USB "download mode" [download it, unzip and place it on your desktop.
SP Flash Tool Driver Auto Installer [9,49mb] - works only with Windows ХР SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7.
for installing unsigned drives on Windows 8, follow the guide below:
Get access to Startup Options: HOWTO - Method 2 is the easiest way for me
Once you are there (After a restart) you have to choose number 7 (Disable driver signature enforcement)
When you install unsigned driver after it, windows is allways asking you this:
- install this driver anyway
2. Install the ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What do you need:
At least 30% of battery
All Driver from above and unzipped driwer for "Download mode"
time
Now let's begin.
Install the USB driver.
Unzip The ROM and put it on your desktop.
Turn off your device and unplug it from USB (if its pluged in).
for Windows 7/Windows Vista/Windows XP: Install the SP Flash Tool Driver Auto Installer from above and jump to step 7.
go to "Device Manager (link for short guide)
now when you are in your device manager it'll be a little bit tricky. When you NOW plug in your device (it have to be turned off), a new "unknown" device will appear. It will be there only for a few seconds, so you habe to be quick. RIGHT-Click on this unknown device and then go to "Update driver" in preferences. Then choose the driver you had downloaded and unzippt on your desktop. Thats it!
Now start the FlashTool.exe, (I think which you'll find in your unzipped ROM in the "Upgrade tool" folder. And plug in your device (micro USB)).
Click on "Scatter loading" (like on the image above). Then go to your ROM (you know, on your desktop) and in folder "target_bin" choose this file: "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" (I am nbot shure if its the same name on all ROMs, but it has to be something with "scatter" in its name.
Click on "DA DL ALL WITH Cheksum" (without it, the device wont start after flashing and you have to flash all again) you'll see it on the pictures below:
The "FAC" - file will be propably not checked.
Just choose it in your ROM folder by yourself in target_bin folder:
Click on "Firmware -> Upgrade"
Then you'll see some pink lines loading. When the lines bekame yellow, you can skip the next step.
It can be, that after the pink lines the Flash Tool will stop and nothing will happen then. If it keeps for one minute you have to unplug your device for 30 seconds and than just plug in again. NOTHING ELSE!!!
When the green lines appears, just wait till its finished. You'll see it, when the green circle appears:
Unplug your device and restart. Don't panik, its multilingual and your language will be there (for shure), just click on the rigt chinese words in the first window which appears and scroll up.
After that you can easiely update your tablet to 4.4.2 with the OTA
Happy flashing =)
Easy Root your 4.4.2 KitKat ROM
HOWTO Root your 4.4.2 ROM:
At first you have to know, whats behind all the followigng steps.
It is not that easy to root this device with KitKat (at least at the moment).
At first you have to install an app, which uses a hack and pushs a file in /system.
next you start the installed app (which is in /system now) and with this app (Kinguser) you'll have Root rights
most users dont believe in chinese root apps. So you have to install an another Rootapp, the best is SuperSU (link ist below)
After you allow SuperSU the root rights, you can just uninstall the other two apps and enjoy the happiness of beeing rooted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now let's beginn:
1. Just download and install this file: Root_genious_General.apk
2. It will install a small tool, which can root your tablet. And it installs "Kinguser"
. It will ask you, to update your ROOT(1.0.23) to ROOT (1.1.33). It will be in chinese, just chose the right button and allow to update this tool.
3. A circle will appear with "ROOT" in it. "Push" the button and magic will happen (a progress bar) An yellow window will appear, in chinese, but you'll see, if it was a success then you'll see Kinguser installed on your device. (if it don't works for the first time, just try it again)
4. After that you need to reboot your device and download and install "SuperSU" from PlayStore.
5. Install SuperSU and then Kinguser will aks you, if you will allow SuperSU root rights. Chose "Yes" and now you have the rootrights. IF IT DOESN'T you have to reboot your device several times (don't know why, I needed several reboots and then it worked)
NOTE: I don't really know why, but it seems, like Kinguser do not recognize, that it has root permissions at the first time. I had to turn off the permission in Kinguser options, restart and give Kinguser the root permissions again, than restart again. Just play a little arround with whis option of Kinguser. Somehow it will work than. I had to do the game twice, and it worked both times. But really don't know why.
6. After that you need to update your binaries in SuperSU and reboot your device.
7. Then you can uninstall both chinese APPs (Kanguser can just be uninstalled with Titanium Backup) and you are rooted then
Hi, thanks for your post !
I can't go after the number 14 :/
At the bottom of the windows there is : Searching or USB but nothing happen.
I have installed LenovoUSBDriver and SP_Flash_Tool_Driver_Auto_Installer ...
I put the inf file in C:/windows/inf ...
I have tried in FastMode Boot on the tablet but nothing.
Where is my mistake ?
PS : I'm on Windows 7 x64
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English !

I am not really shure, but I think its the step 6, what caused the problem. The drivers have to be installed manually, when you are plug in your device. it's not enough to "put" them somewhere. try to do this step by step, like i tried to translate
You open your device manager, turn your device OFF, plug it then on USB and than watch, when they appears a new device. very quick (you have 1-3 seconds I think), rightclick on it and than go to "Propperties", or "options" (dont really know what there is in your language ). then "Update your drivers" and then choose the drivers manually. I hope it will help.

OTA means Over The Air it is the way how most devices are updating via wifi.
Question
Good evening I would like to ask you to do the tempering the rom that you put should be the same as the build number of the device that I have or that does not matter does not play a role build number ???

Good evening.
as far as i know it is always a good idea to take the same build number,as you have. it can brick your device,because it could always be, that there are differences in the hardwre and also the drivers,between the builds.

The buildnumer is B6000, and the only other important thing is the "wifi" at the end. So take just this one:
[ROM] Yoga 8 B6000_A422_000_059_131219_WW_WIFI
All the numbers between, are just patch-versions of your b6000 wifi Tablet

Hello,
I am really sorry but I jujst can answer questions for my own device but i looked arround. as far as i can see, there is no stock rom to flash. I dont know if thats you, who postet this request in russian forum, but have a look there. The site admin will look, if he can find something [LINK]. Maybe he can find some help in chinese forums. Don't know, how he handle such requests.
You have a very special device number, build just without 3g for Ukraine, as I can see there. Hope, you'll find help there.
this thread is outdated!
please use this instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-disable-remaining-write-t3171735
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this thread is for m9 it will NOT work on m7,m8,or any older devices(or anything other than HTC)
again,dont do this on anything other than m9. any posts stating "i bricked my whatever" will be directed back here,to this first bit of information.
this thread is to help you restore your software status: modified back to software status: original without having to run an RUU. those who have had m7,and m8 are familiar the the tampered flag wich is set when s-on by unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery,kernel,or rom. this thread is the same. it is not a false or hex edited aboot,it is changing the flag that aboot checks to see if your device has been "tampered" with.
unfortunately,HTC has snuck in some evil write protections even on s off devices. as such,it is no longer possible to issue a simple adb command to re-write the flag.
at this time,this thread is for more advanced users. i will try and refine it to be more user friendly,but for now want to get the info out here.
credits
-beaups for schooling me on echo comand protocol,and pointing out that we can still fastboot flash partitions to make permanent changes.
-strace for originally discovering the location of the lock status flag(check out this thread for more info)
- @Mutasek24 for fearlessly testing all commands
- @w3by for finding and testing 00408405 flag location
the usual disclaimers:
-i have tested this on my device,but use this info at your own risk. if it melts your phone into an aluminum gooey mess,crashes your pc,or causes any other issues,its not my fault.
then the most important disclaimer:
*be very careful when editing. accidentally adding or deleting something could change all offests,and leave your device unrecoverably bricked. do NOT use someone elses modified file. p8 is device specific
in other words,if this scares you,and an RUU is available for your device,run the RUU instead.
prerequisites:
-you must be S-OFF
-you must have superuser installed
-you must have adb and fastboot,and working drivers(if required) installed on your machine
this will require the use of a hex editor. for windows,i use HxD
1)copy p8
-open a command window and change to your adb/fastboot directory
-enter the following:
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p8
exit
exit (if needed to get back to a regular prompt)
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p8
youll now find a copy of p8 in your adb/fastboot folder. transfer it to a safe location (alternately,you could open your internal storage on the pc and drag the file to a different folder)
2)modify p8
-fire up your hex editor and open the mmcblk0p8 file
-scroll down to 00408400. what youll see if this:
the numbers 68 25 32 C6 are a constant.dont mess with them! the fifth digit(location 00408404) is your tampered flag. in some cases,you could find your tampered flag one spot over,at 00408405(more info).
on m9,its commonly a 10,but ive also seen 08 and it really could be anything. we need to change it to a 00.
carefully click in front of then 10,and type a 0. this should overwrite the 1 and change to 00(if you have a "0-other number" youll need to enter 0 twice)
again, be very careful not to add or delete any digits!!!
what you should now see is this:
once your confident its right,save the file as mmcblk0p8mod.img ( adding the file extension is important) to your adb/fastboot directory
3)install your untampered file
in the cmd window,enter:
adb reboot bootloader (this should take you to the white bootloader screen NOT download mode)
fastboot flash pg2fs mmcblk0p8mod.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
you should now see software status: original
your cmd window should look like this:

Lol,I did tell you it was coming
I wanted to come up with some way to avoid the need for hex editing, but couldn't really come up with anything. So I guess it is what it is for now
Do you know if this will need to be done every time something is flashed? Or once s off and we do it once, it sticks with official...?

Just once. Once you're s off the flag is not set
It worked, thanks
If anyone should use another editor like Hex Workshop the position can be displayed as 004083FE (see attached files).
Scotty, first of: all my respect to your work, man. I have been following what you do ever since you started it, I think, but never had any reason to ask you stuff.
Now: I have one question: P8 is pg2fs_ship_signkey.img in the RUU. Can you explain to me why P8 is device specific if its also delivered in a RUU? Is the RUU image maybe just a partial P8?
Oh I should just pull it and chase it through Beyond Compare but its Sunday night, after a long workday and I am lazy.
And oh yea, I wanted to hook up and say hello and thanks and ask if you wouldn't want to discuss the one or other thing occasionally. Not sure you ever visited my firmware threads but if you did, you might have seen that my main goal is to learn and share what I learned and have people educate themselves on everything HTC Firmware. I'd be totally happy to see you linked there. Profit for everyone.

I don't have an m9 yet, but is it safe to copy and paste this command like the old devices to get the p8 from the specific one we would have now? Thanks in advance and for your great work. Wish I could give back something like this. :thumbup:
If you install RUU and puts Officer, thanks!

hey sneeky,unfortunately i cant explain exactly why p8 shouldnt be shared. my first desire was to simply provide an image,have users download and flash. however,all the ones ive compared have some subtle differences,so i asked beaups his thots on it,and the answer was a clear "no,thats a bad idea. p8 is device specific so users will need to mod their own",so i took his word for it. i know in the past folks have done some shady stuff like that with m7 and m8,and while it may not casue a devestating failure while s off,the prollem may arrise later when they(for whatever stupid reason) turn s on. ive seen hard bricks,soft bricks,and in many cases the reappearance of the tampered flag after a couple of reboots and factory resets. not sure what the actual consequences coulod be in this particular situation.
as for the ruu,i cant really answer that either. ive noticed it also,and my best guess is that the ruu is only having a partial image,or doing a check to mod the image present and not actualy flashing a new one. wish i had a better answer for you than that,lol.
i have been to your firmware threads,and they are a wealth of valuable information. definately hit me up if you ever want to have discussions :highfive:

I ran a pulled P8 and the pg2fs_ship_signkey.img throug Beyond Compare today and its pretty clear the image from the RUU is only partial. Its a small piece of encrypted stuff that goes into roughly the first third of the large P8, a small set of unencrypted strings that go right at the start and thats it. The rest of the partition is mostly zeroes (empty) and some very few offsets with just some tiny bits of info there, mostly encrypted. One is the tampered flag. It even says "tamper" in plain text before it. If it is that bit, it looks different to what you posted. But that plain text was some sort of clue lol.
The entire section after that encrypted block from ship_signkey is not found in the RUU image.
Worked like a charm thank you
Will tbis lock the device? I want to reset to official but unlocked with s-off. Does that make sense? I read in the re-lock bootloader thread that once re locked you can't set system to RW..
