The only thing I understand Is that we have to replace some dlls in Nokia Care Suite 5.0.0(2012.45.4)
then we have to patch ffu file using the exe file
then flash the Custom ffu with Care Suite !
But i'm not sure . Anyone else ?

I've done same thing for Samsung flasher. In case of Samsung there is a check on the phone side too.

I doubt... Also look at the date 2013-4-6. If it hasn't been widely used and known by now then I doubt it'll work. I also would doubt it would work with any new firmwares. ALTHOUGH... I wonder if this can be used to put those who were on the Rogers Dev Lumia Amber Rom back on the AT&T Rom?
Also, the translated title: "[Discuss] User announced today Lumia920 brush made ROM tutorial and tools (the effect is unknown, only for discussion) [Copy link]"
It's untested.
Wouldn't hurt to try...... right?
Apparently they know both the software method and the hardware method, hardware method is to complicated to release
And , I also found something else
I'll believe it when a proper guide is released to public and proven to work...

Notice that the phone is COMPLETELY taken apart... Some of the chinese hackers have been able to achieve SOMETHING by using a riffbox and some other demonic magic that the typical user won't be able to achieve. The source from OP explains that this method HASN'T been tested. If you want to brick your phone, go ahead and do so. The one thing that they haven't said is that all FFUs are signed also. You can try and make your own, but I doubt it will work. I would say it's best to wait until one of the XDA devs can break through and create a miracle instead of hopping towards something that hasn't been tested yet. If you wish to try it, go right a head and you can be the guinea pig for something for something that was written almost a year ago .
By way way, all except one DLL in that archive have invalid headers, that is they are not real DLLs.
simple and very cheap way for developer unlock: find 4 friends with WP phones, buy developer unlock $19 per year divided on 5 people (is only $3,8 per people) and unlock 5 phones (phones dont need to be with same MS account)

good luck.
Whatever changes you do to the FFU file will invalidate it's signature. You can flash it, but the bootloader will refuse to load the image if SecureBoot is on.

In my case bootloader is messed up, but what happens if we change something in MainOS that is not the kernel? Maybe registry or something. Bootloader should stay functional, so if it does not sigcheck the whole OS, it should boot

The signature applies to the entire FFU file, so no matter what part of it you modify it'll be invalidated and you'll brick your phone. -.-
MainOS is, as the name suggest, the main part of the OS. Registry is there, files are there, most of the stuff is there. You think if it was possible to change the registry in FFU and successfully boot such an image that no one would've posted about it yet?
The only feasible way of doing this is to achieve some sort of higher unlock on the phone itself, then disable secureboot to allow custom ROMs.
On a normal bootup, the process looks something like this: EFI Secure Boot checks the bootloader's signature. Bootloader (Windows Secure Boot) checks the kernel's signature. Kernel checks EFI for what level of signature enforcement it's supposed to use, then checks the signatures of all binaries (drivers, programs, and libraries) it loads.
When flashing, though, it's different. There, the firmware that controls the flashing mode on the phone checks the signature of the entire image before writing it. This does take a while, but not as long as writing all that data to flash memory will anyhow. Hashes are very fast to compute.
Disclaimer: I don't do custom ROMs, so it's possible that I'm misunderstanding something, especially in the flashing process.

Problem is that it does NOT check the signatures before writing to eMMC, CareSuite checks the whole ffu, then the phone checks it after each partition. So in my case: bootloader's partition was flashed, then sigcheck failed, so I ended up with a brick. In case of a pre-flash check, the phone would be still functional.

If you have JTAG or RIFFBOX, you can check your phone's eMMC to comfirm your guess.

I just cracked the Device Authentication.
I was using our 'dumprom' script and noticed one of the files contained in the new ROM is called 'DevAuth.exe'. Given the window title 'Device Authentication' on the annoying box that told me I could not play with my new toy, I figured the two were related.
So.... If you replace the only occurence of 'DevAuth.exe" in the image with something else (I used "DevAuww.exe"), the ROM will start just fine.
Expect some screenshots soon (Carlos, can you help out?), but first impressions:
- Most importantly: they bought my favourite game 'Bubblets'. It's now called 'JawBreaker' and resides in games. No wonder the guy never got back to me when I asked if I could include the shareware version in the Special Edition ROM...
- Bluetooth in the control panel (ofcourse our device still doesn't have the hardware).
- Windows Media Player 9
- Lots of things have a slightly newer look
- No major functional improvements to phone and other apps that were immediately obvious to me.
So, Let's hope something running linux crack the rom for us.
By the way, is the rom "4.00.05" which provided by Source O2?
If yes, why it display 3.04 on the booting screen?

I guess these version numbers are just put in whoever builds that particular ROM image. They don't mean that much...
Here's the real question: Who will be kind enough to
convert this ROM to a usable one, preferably an .exe package, for the rest of the group. I don't have a Linux box handy today to do this, so anyone who does, please get on it! We are all waiting.....
Is it possible for me to convert the .nb1 file to .nbf without using the sd card as I don't have one? If so how is it done.
sorr forgot to mention I have access to a linux box just need the instructions on how to do it.
I don't know if this message is related to warez or not.
I just want to say if anyone got a cracked image and want to share with us, please upload to here:
ftp address : kellylau.uhome.net
login : kellylau password : xda
Any pic can upload to there too.
The downlaod address would be
http://kellylau.uhome.net/<Filename>
Since the site is quite busy now, it may not easy to log in.
XDA developer Peter Poelman,
excellent. I tried running dumprom.exe on the nb1 image and it crapped out. do i have to convert it to nbf? after u extract the rom how do i rebuild a new one? is it possible for you to post it somewhere to download it?
thanks

PPC 2003 / Ozone comments
All you need to do is load the PPC2003PE.nb1 file in a hex editor and replace the only occurence of 'DevAuth.exe' with something else (e.g. 'DevAuww.exe'), and put the file on an SD with XDArit, use the bootloader to burn it and presto.
About Ozone/PPC2003: I'm seriously underwhelmed. Ofcourse the next version of the Special Edition ROM will use it as a base, but the functional differences between this version and what we have with e.g. O2's 4.17.03 ROM are really minimal. I smell a tick layer of hyped-up marketing covering a relatively minor upgrade here...
I suggest the playful among you give it a try, but if you can live without it for a little longer, stick to the Special Edition, and unless something is seriously more difficult than we think, we'll publish a patch to this to make it "Special Edition ROM v1.2", Real Soon Now.
response from O2
Just got this reply from O2 when I cheakily asked if i could have the latest ROM file:
************************************
"Hi
Unfortunately this download is only available to O2 partners under non-disclosure agreement for trial pruposes only
As soon as the trial is complete the ROM will be available to all of source O2
Thanks for your interest
regards
source O2"
************************************
Looks like we will be getting it for free then - unlike some companies who are charging silly fees for teh download.
Thanks for XDA-Developer again!
I patched the rom and writing it on the SD card now.
I think microsoft will charge for anyone provide the 2003 upgrade, I don't believe O2 will provide the new rom free. If the upgrade is free , it will be the greatest news for all XDA user.

As I said before: do not get your hopes up: this is a minor upgrade with a lot of marketing money thrown at it to make it look like a big thing.
It works!!!
After patching the ROM, I now have Pocket PC 2003 on my Qtek!!!
Thanks!

Hmm, so while I like playing with the latest stuff, it sounds like I should just wait for a 2003 SE ROM. I'm sure we'll have one to try really soon...
Back to the old ROM...
Everything seems to work fine with the new ROM, except that you can't change GPRS authentication method... My ISP uses PAP authentication and there is no way to change to that...
Well, well...
Maybe next ROM...
/Patrik
A little funny thing found on the new rom :
There is some unlisted program on the \windows folder
I tried pacman, it's GREAT ;-).
Also it provided DUAL VOLUME , you can set system / ring volume seprately.
However the rom is far from perfect.
I found 2 major problem.
1. The SIM Contacts is worse that the old SIM utility. It can do nothing every copy all contacts from the SIM to the device.
2. Wireless Modem is missing.
It seems it's still a develop version of rom.
Picture will be post soon.

PROJECT CLOSED. I'm too lazy, so grab MBN Creator and generate your own ROM. Good luck!
I've managed to create some kind of custom ROM for ATIV S. It can be flashed with a stock flasher.

The ROM is successfully installed if after Hard Reset you see lime accent color (before backup restore). IT DOES NOT SAY "Welcome to your WOLF's phone", It was just a test.
So, wolfROM 2.0 beta 4 is stable and I move it to release state.
You do it on your own risk!
All differences to general flashing process are on screenshot.
DO HARD RESET AFTER FLASHING!
Features:
Unlock / Interop Unlock / Relock prevent
Volume limit disabled
No prepinned tiles of Samsung apps
Some of Samsung apps removed
Full access to APNs and Internet Sharing
Two search providers: Yandex and Google. Both can launch its app from search key (if app is installed). Here're those apps: Yandex, Google.
v2.0 added:
Final GDR3 support
Partial Capabilities unlock. About 40-50% of capabilities are included.
v2.1 added:
WP8.1 support
Default language is ENGLISH.
Nice work

I don't think it's a big problem for Ativ S. If you store content on SD, you have much free space on the phone. Even 4GB of "other" is not a problem.
Dear WOLF , how did you do that even boot loaders are not unlocked ?
and what did you do with Secure boot? !!!!
and is there any chance to do something you do on Nokia Lumia phones ?
my mean that we can only Interop unlock and prevent re-lock . any idea ?
just a question can a file explorer be implemented?. the most used feature on my phones but they screwed that.

I accidentally flashed all partitions with WOLF's fake rom, which has erased my phone. I can find factory roms for the I8750, but I have the Canadian SGH-T889M.
I just need to flash it with some full rom to get it up and running again - anything. Samsung has no full rom, and I think WOLF took down most of his links. Can someone help me get a copy of a Samsung ATIV S T889M rom? Otherwise, I'm stuck with a brick.

No ROM is leaked for this model. You should go to service center.
There is a safe method to flash customs for carrier models - MBN Creator. I don't know why people still use fakeROMs.

WOLF - You're completely right. I should have used MBN creator. I tried, and it didn't work. I realise now that I probably had to factory reset my phone. If I have to take it to a service center, I may as well just put it in a drawer, because repair costs tend to be crazy, at least in Canada, unfortunately, and I just grabbed an Ativ S NEO on eBay for $200.

someone actually tried to flash one of the defconfigs i zipped and attached to post
MotexT
Yeah, I remember ?

yeah there appears to be hashing functions in the kernel commandline as well
tell me this bootloader is encrypted?
MotexT
New one will be - there are certificates for all version and revisions, and looks like it encrypts the new bootloader after flashing
Checked out the files and yes - it will encrypt bootloader with SHA256 keys

Can you post that in a thread please?
MotexT
This file is for the first bootloader version
And it flashes some security into it

okay so does this really read as encrypted or signed?
This one is encrypted and checks if encryption was successful
It encrypts
Okay yeah let's upgrade that proposed thread to a warning.
i'm going to quote this hangout heavily so can you leave all those screens accessible?
MotexT
Yep, use them. Also highlight the lines where it's written, hope someone will do deeper research of all that stuff. Also I will add boot folder with all that files
Also it's strange at all - looks like this changes will be applied just after OTA - one guy has flashed new TFT an then he installed your kernel and my recovery and for him everything works well

So, I have uploaded the whole folder with this files to my Drive. For everyone who flashed the new version via Flashtool, don't flash any OTAs from Sony cause as @moonbutt74 have described in OP, there is some valuable changes. And yeah, they will still popping-up even if you have the newest version on board.
I don't quite understand what this means actually. I installed via flashtool, then kernel also via flashtool, then TWRP and everything seems fine so far. Anything I shouldn't or can't do now? And should others not update or what? What's going on?
Thanks for you work though!

In short, don't flash the ota. The ftf seems fine though with flashtool. and then if i have it right , only flash system .?
For anyone who is intersted in picking up development for this device I am attaching the kernel defconfig extracted from the kernel.elf/sin from the aforementioned firmware release. Linux/arm64 3.10.84
What exactly are the consequences when updating with ota?
What can't I do with an encrypted bootloader?
Yeah, i would reject this ota, but some people are stupid and will flash a can of yams if it's in a zip file
and that's not an exaggeration either

Hey! hahaha am sorry about flashing that zip file, no need to say that am a noob, I was thinking that defconfigs file was something like a configuration file for the kernel or somthing.... yeah I know... no need to say that I should not touch advanced tweaks but hey! at least my device is working ok! no bricks (luckily think so), no nuclear explosions they say... all good! thanks four your work again and for share your personal chats haha

Sorry I know that was a little harsh, but the joke was there, I had to go for it. Kudos on having a sense of humor! :good:
I've done some unbelievably stupid things myself! :silly:
The best one/ top of the list was that the first kernel build and resulting boot.img i ever managed to pack right went wrong when
i edited the updater script in the zip package to write to mmcblk0. Instant brick. xD
sorry noobish question, ive purchased my Xperia Z4 E6553 from second hand (used), and its already upgraded to MM fw.163, i did upgrade from flashtool to fw .185 and the chargind time its very slow,

Perhaps you have Find My Xperia ON! You need to turn it off in order to unlock bootloader I had the same problem, give it a try after you disable it, restart the phone and the you go to service menu to see if it allow to unlock the bootloader.

I can't see a specific reply to this question by fayer3.
Can anyone spell out the consequences and rollback options for anyone flashing the OTA?
Is this likely to affect ALL future versions from Sony? In that case we should find ways to turn off OTA updates, to minimize the risk.
BR.
Hello friends. I have spent a week trying methods that I knew about before and many others that I have seen on the internet without getting any results to delete an old google account from a mobile that came in a batch that I bought on ebay to repair. I did not take the precaution of deleting the google account that I previously had and now no system works for me.
I have searched a lot on the forum but there is hardly any information about this k8 M200N model with qualqoom processor. The fact is that I have bought a new screen and some more accessories to repair it and now I still have a brick. I also don't see any development via rom that I can install in download mode. I installed the official one through the lgup software but the only thing I have managed is to update the system, the problem is still the same.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you
Search about Google FRP for this model on youtube.
I have already tried all the methods that there are on youtube, they do not work for me. I guess google has also seen the security flaws and they have protected it. The software like passfab unlocker android does not work either, I am desperate with this mobile and the only thing that occurs to me is to put a custom rom but I do not see development for it

Don't give up.
Try flashing the firmware again, but don't update it.
An older system is easier to unlock. Methods to remove FRP are evolving. Maybe you can find an unlocking variant on your own, since you already know the idea.

Thanks my friend. I think the same, plus I'm very stubborn. It is very difficult for me to give up but I am already getting old.

I bought a second-hand K8 (2016), which had a google account lock. The unlocking guide was not precise, but after looking at other similar guides I found common features that helped me remove the lock. You will also succeed. I suppose you are not stubborn, but patient.
I have managed to downgrade, right now it is with android 7 but still, I can't get any of the solutions on youtube to work for me. I can get out to the internet, I can get into some pages (vnrom.net) but when I click on a link it doesn't do anything. He is getting heavy this lg but I am harder than him hahahaha
I imagine that just like you can do from windows or linux with any packaged software you can use an unpacker and modify the rom to skip that step. But it's been 20 years since I used reverse engineering tools and what little I did was with very outdated tools today. For android there must be some current deodex and I'm willing to learn how to work the rom until I get away with it.

It doesn't work that way. During flashing, the key imprint from LG is checked.

Ok I understand. Thank you
Well, I finally managed to solve the problem. Although I didn't imagine that I could since none of the tutorials I've seen is updated, they all fail in something, so I spent many hours looking for shortcuts and ways to do it without following the tutorials and finally I managed to open chrome, the key is there, to get into the search engine and download an app, really difficult since everything is cut off by google so that the shortcuts and so on do not work. Although I have not recorded the process and I do not remember where I started, I am going to block it again and take note of how I do it so that someone else can use the system

It is not worth your time to write instructions for unlocking. What would we have to do, on the XDA forum, if a user could easily do everything themselves?
