How SEUS Flashing Works

OK, so been trying to figure out what happens when you use SEUS.
It checks for internet connection by loading this URL:
Code:
http://emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com/ns/no-cache
I've figured out quite a bit.
Sony Ericsson has implemented something called Tampered Device Service.
This checks if the devices has been tampered with.
This service works from this server:
Code:
tds.sonyericsson.com
Then for the actual firmware download.
This is done by downloading 2 *.ser.gz which tells SEUS what Software customization to get and is sessions specific.
The customization ser.gz file looks something like this:
Code:
CDA=1233-7027_NjKhzOzTUsfXvPg40lyh6aTl.ser.gz
And it's downloaded from:
Code:
emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com
It's done via some sort of search mechanism on the server.
That looks like this:
Code:
ns/usdoe1/2/script/search/TAC8=35941903/CDA=1233-7027_By5JACZqd1R7JOpLu6qvwK8N.ser.gz
After that it's downloading the actual firmware files.
They are downloaded in bin format which I haven't been able to unpack yet.
They are also downloaded from the emma server and is named something like:
Code:
277795427_k9ABo3YVh+8klYUKwllGLDcJ.bin - ~14.3 MB
277835617_ZpJseUr9e09U5h2Cz81+5vcT.bin ~149 MB
Then it does a netbios call which has some sort of HEX code.
And then check the Internet connection again:
Code:
http://emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com/ns/no-cache
Now it starts up a service called:
Code:
/fq/ServiceClientDbServlet
This service runs from this server:
Code:
ma3.extranet.sonyericsson.com
This last part is done twice in a row.
Inside one of the *ser.gz files is a *.ser file which contains some code and instructions. Some parts is encrypted but most of the code is not.
See the complete code in post #2
I don't quite know what to do with all this info yet.
But hopefully something useful will come of this.
Just wanted to share a bit of my knowledge, hope it's useful for some of you here.

wow seems u done some packet sniffing...
may be u should contact Bin4ry regarding this... he is involved in FreeXperia Project for Arc/Play...
i am sure he can shed some more light on this matter...

Figured out the *.bin files is the actual files that also goes in the blob_fs folder:
Code:
%programfiles%\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\
So they are decryptable using the known method.

Tampered Device Service does in fact check for Root and custom software.
Don't know if this will have an effect in the updating process from SEUS.

So, it's a bad news huh. Keep looking. Thanks for the info.

Confirmed that devices that has been rooted and modified in software will not be eligible for 2.3.3 update. You will have to flash back a stock unrooted firmware before updating to 2.3.3

Of course. SE said that in their blog. Better backup all data in SD Card and format it too. I don't think the SEUS' intelligent enough to check out that the SD Card contains CyanogenMod folder as busybox and xRecovery
EDIT: I tried to find the update 2.1 package in my computer after repaired my phone for several times and I can't find it. It's of course that it's deleted as soon as the update completed.

I believe SEUS works like the Flash Tool and Pay-Per-Update service through fastgsm.com and davince.
Flash Tool requires you to provide the firmware and place the sin files in the correct location.
Pay service requires a fee to install the correct sin files/firmware.
SEUS requires a CDA to determine which sin files/firmware to install.

I beg that the FlashTool works like SEUS cause without SEUS and other update services, where is FlashTool come from?

But what if SEUS change its method? Well, i still want to update and we will see how it goes.

Whatever method they choose, they can't close the door behind them. They need the access too. Flash Tool can be updated.
Nor would google allow that. JMHO

Yes, FT can be updated but it's development is kinda dead as of now, and we don't even have its source codes, so the other developers can't update it. Unless if Androxyde and Bin4ry want to work on FT again.

Why are the devs acting like this is an issue? The Flash Tool already works on the ARC, so what are you worried about?

Work on Arc no mean it can work on X10, just like Arc has bootloader unlocked but no mean X10 can when update to 2.3.3

You totally missed the point. The bootloader or root has NEVER mattered. When the NEVER has happened, then start your *****ing.

What I mean is that IF SE changed their flashing method for the GB firmware and FT won't work for those who upgraded their X10 to GB. But another user has said that they won't since it requires them to start all over again.
Who knows, we're not the one who are developing the firmwares and we all should stop making assumptions(but some people aren't making assumptions, they are so sure they are right).

I am not pretending to know. However, you are failing to acknowledge that the Flash Tool is a modification of Update Service. The same method is used. Quit acting like this is nuclear science.

I told you, what IF they CHANGE the flashing method, then SEUS will also be updated with the new method.
Why am I repeating this anyway? Silly me.

[Guide] Accessing all Build.prop values without Root

Hi.
I was developing an app in which I needed to access some of the build.prop values without accessing root.
After some days finally I found a good & working solution.
So, for whom they need it later, I decided to share it here.
All you have to do is this :
1. Make a process which executes "getprop" from the "/system/bin/getprop" directory and initialize the String which we want to get (ro.board.platform in example).
2. Make a BufferedReader which gets the value (String) by retrieving the data from a inputStreamReader().
3.Convert the BufferedReader to String.
Help your selves.
Code:
Process p = null;
String board_platform = "";
try {
p = new ProcessBuilder("/system/bin/getprop", "ro.board.platform").redirectErrorStream(true).start();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
while ((line=br.readLine()) != null){
board_platform = line;
}
p.destroy();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Thanks man!.,,..

But are we really in such a need of getprop? If I remember correctly, on all Android devices /system partition is world-readable. So we can just read it build.prop like a normal text file and then parse it.

Maybe you're right.
But before the Tut، I collected some info on build.prop.
I read different files from different devices with different ROMs.
And I gained a result : The file differs from ROM to ROM and from device to device.
I had thought of this knowing that in device Nexus 4 "ro.x.y" is in line "z" forexample :
1. Create BufferedReader to read the build.prop file.
2.
// Let's consider ro.x.y : outcome in build.prop
int x = 0;
String y ="";
If ((y = br.readLine()) != null) {
x++;
String line = y;
if (x = z){
// So we have found ro.x.y
String result = line;
result = result.replaceAll("ro.x.y", "");
result = result.replaceAll(" :", "");
}
}
Using this procedure we have retreived the ro.x.y value in Nexus 4.
But does anybody promise that ro.x.y is in line "z" in all devices?
The answer is NO as I mentioned above.
Maybe someone has changed his build.prop file and ... .
I hope it helps.

Thanks sir.
Didn't notice at all.

And here is C# Translation for the code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Variables
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
private Process p = null;
private string AdbPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "RegawMOD", "AndroidLib", "adb");
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Process Definition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
try
{
p = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo sInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd");
sInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
sInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
sInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
sInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
sInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
p.StartInfo = sInfo;
p.OutputDataReceived += p_OutputDataReceived;
p.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
p.Start();
p.BeginOutputReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error starting adb process", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
p_OutputDataReceived Definition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
void p_OutputDataReceived(object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
string line = "";
try
{
if (!(line = e.Data).Trim().Length.Equals(0) && !line.Contains("/system/bin/getprop ro.board.platform"))
{
this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => txt.AppendText(line + "\n")));
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error Reading Output", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passing command to our little adb process
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
if (p != null)
{
p.StandardInput.WriteLine(AdbPath + " shell /system/bin/getprop ro.board.platform");
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Side Notes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code above will result in active shell, it's a simulation for executing commands via CMD
What you need to do is the following:
Change "AdbPath" content to match the path of your adb executable.
"txt" is the Textbox that will show the output, put your own object.
Remove this line " !line.Contains("/system/bin/getprop ro.board.platform);" from "p_OutputDataReceived" to have an idea why I included it in the first place, it's not a must to have it but it will make output look nicer.
In the "Passing command to our little adb process" section, you can replace " shell /system ...etc" with your own object to make the app flexible and be able to execute any command the user type [example: .p.StandardInput.WriteLine(String.Join(" ", AdbPath , CommandTextBox.Text));]
This is almost the same code I execute in Droid Manager for the active shell, I just added few more lines to serve my active shell demands
My device is rooted, nevertheless it doesn't matter which language we are using, as long as we are executing the same command, then it should work with non rooted devices too just like OP says
I use AndroidLib that's why my Adb path points to AndroidLib's adb executable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good luck
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Dr.Alexander_Breen Yes /system is read only and we can read the file, but if you read it like a text file you will have to break text apart to get the value and not key + value. and you will have to go line by line to reach the key you want, so by using "getprop" you will get the value without having to write extra lines of code to make the app show you value only. As for me I prefer it that way, no need to make the app execute more lines of code just to get a part of the string.

Well, we are supposed to write smart parser which is indifferent to line number, it searches by key name...and gets the value. However, that is the reinvention of the wheel - getprop does exactly the same.
Just saying that the same result is available without the getprop. But it will be (or will not if you're really good in regular expressions) harder, yes.

Then, you can create a static method like the following in order to avoid NPEs if the property we're asking for isn't present and such:
Code:
public static String getSystemProp(Context context, String prop, String default) {
String result = null;
try {
result = SystemPropertiesReflection.get(context, prop);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
Log.e(TAG, "Failed to get prop: " + prop);
}
return result == null ? default : result;
}
And simply invoke it to get the returned property, for example:
Code:
String prop = getSystemProp(this, "ro.sf.lcd_density", "213");
EDIT : sorry to the guys that were @ mentionned by the code's annotations

@ whoever's code I decide to use: Thanks, I'll make use of this in my library I'll put you in the credits :good:

I'm using the code in the OP and it's returning the default value, but not the actual value... This is really weird...

The system properties are not reloaded after you edit the build.prop, you need a reboot, or you've to read from build.prop file.

Use setprop and getprop in addition to the changes you make to the build.prop, this way you can get the current value without the hassle or performance loss of having to parse the whole build.prop for each value you want to read.
For example, if you change ro.whatever=true to ro.whatever=false, also do a setprop ro.whatever false so that you can retrieve the value from getprop ro.whatever

If this is true (and i think it is), why <ou don't simply use the Java Properties class to read the prop file?

Sorry for answering in this old Thread, but i dont see why you read the properties file by yourself.

Yeah, it should work, in theory.. But in practice it screw things up a lot. It ends up deleting the whole contents of build.prop or not reading correctly and it's very unpredictable :-/

Then you're not doing it right, it does work, and it's very easy to test, just open Terminal emulator, and try the following:
Code:
setprop ro.test.prop true
getprop ro.test.prop
# returns
true
As I said, this will not modify the build.prop, but if everytime you modify the build.prop you also use setprop, then you can avoir the big performance overhead of having to parse the whole build.prop just to get the value of a single prop.

Hi.
I was developing an app in which I needed to access some of the build.prop values without accessing root.
After some days finally I found a good & working solution.
So, for whom they need it later, I decided to share it here.
All you have to do is this :
1. Make a process which executes "getprop" from the "/system/bin/getprop" directory and initialize the String which we want to get (ro.board.platform in example).
2. Make a BufferedReader which gets the value (String) by retrieving the data from a inputStreamReader().
3.Convert the BufferedReader to String.
Help your selves.
Code:
Process p = null;
String board_platform = "";
try {
p = new ProcessBuilder("/system/bin/getprop", "ro.board.platform").redirectErrorStream(true).start();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
while ((line=br.readLine()) != null){
board_platform = line;
}
p.destroy();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();

Hey,
Sorry for bumping this old thread.
How a non-developer user could use this to change/add build.prop lines?
I got a complete stock Nexus 5X that I'd like to add some new lines into build.prop without root.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance!

How to integrate that to show in textView?

download tool for xbmc Android app

hi guys,
I am very very new to coding. I am trying to develop an app to download a zip file from my server, then unzip and place on the internal storage of my device, replacing the original file. I have found this java script which sounds like it does what i need it to but i cant seem to get to work in eclipse as to be honest i have no idea what im doing. Any help would be grateful or if any developer could create for me i am happy to pay or donate
Many thanks

How to use
In this java all the method are static just you need to call like this
Code:
RootInfo.isRooted();
RootInfo.isRooted2();
BusyboxInfo.isBusyBoxAvai2();
BusyboxInfo.isBusyBoxAvai();
DexInfo.isDeodex();
DexInfo.isOdex();

Java&WinRAR-(dirthack) to get files >4GB to USB-Disk for Kodi

Hi together,
last year I've installed a 1st-Gen FireTV with Kodi in combination with a 4TB USB HDD for my parents RV. Don't exactly remember how I got the 4TB disk to fat32, but google should provide the answer, since it did for me than. The bigger issue anyway was to get files bigger than 4GB on the disk. The trick for my was to find out, that Kodi can access *.rar archives as if it was a file. So I wrote a java "dirtyhack": It uses a combination of java and WinRAR. Java to determine if a file is bigger than 4GB or not. If it is smaller, just copy the file, if it is bigger, call WinRAR with the right parameters to create a splittet archive consisting of parts smaller than 4GB on the HDD.
So first you choose a source-folder, than select a destination-folder (should be the Disk ) and all files get copied recursively.
As I'm currently updating the HDD and have unsuccessfully searched for an easier way (after I've installed all updates on the ftv *doh!*) I thought I could share my Code, so here you go:

I wrote this for Windows, using the x64 Version of WinRar, so if you are using the 32-bit version, you have to adjust the rar folder in the rarThis function. Feel free to use and share. If you have improvements, please share

Interesting. When I came to this problem of HD files larger than 4 GB I decided to use the NTFS format and then use Paragon to mount the external HDD on my rooted Fire TV.

Hehe, I would have done the same, but I checked for root after upgrading to the very last fw version

I'm using 5.0.5 because I like using FireStarter, but I don't see why you can't still do this on 5.0.5.1 as well as there is a pre rooted rom for it. Only difference is you need the A to A USB cable to root 5.0.5.1.
