One step closer to the no app preferences solution...maybe

So here is the thing that might happened to you, after some usage time on all firmwares that i used so far it reaches a point (suddenly) where applications can no longer get to their own preferences.
This post here talks about the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978012 and Dark3n here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013063 developed a app thinking about that problem, but it wont solve it although it makes a wonderful job getting rid of unnecessary files.
The thing is i never care too much about the problem because by the time it happens a new firmware is already released and it just encourages me to install it, even so this is a major problem...let me rephrase...MAJOR PROBLEM.
So right now i am using 2.2.1 XXJQ1 and i was thinking about installing the new 2.3 firmware that is out for some days and, guess what...suddenly the "no shared preferences for you" problem appeared. Grrr now it's confirmed until the current firmware this problem exists and i haven't seen any cause or fix for the problem after digging around the web. (of course factory reset works but it is not a valid solution to the problem)
Since the problem is with the apps preferences i went and checked the folders /dbdata/databases/ and /data/data/ and the permissions on those were quite low especially everything inside /data/data/ (sorry don't remember the actual permissions by the time). Then i just thought well if this is a permissions thing let me chmod -R 777 * on those, i went ahead and did just that and...ttaddamm problem solved the preferences don't go to default screen no more and they got their preferences right were i left em
Now doing chmod -R 777 * on those folders might not be the securest thing to do but so far (like 1hour ago) and 2 reboots after the apps have their preferences as they should.
The thing is .... does the permissions on those folders changed suddenly? If so what could be the origin of that change?
If anyone currently with that problem could try and change permissions on those folders and report back if it worked for them would be awesome.
Another request i make, if possible is if anyone not having the problem would be kind enough to post the default permissions on those folders.

Errrr...anyone?

/dbdata/databases/ drwxrwxrwx
/data/data/ drwxrwx--x
Sorry I tend to forget how to evaluate the number.
Your problem did not happen to me, up till know.

thanks hlaube, any chance you or anyone can tell me the permissions for the package folders inside those?are they the same?

I just flashed stock JVB, flashed CF-root kernel, and then flashed the rom "Simply Honey". Haven't done much installation and setting, so access rights are as they where set up by the maker of the FW.
And now you have a list of my favorit App's as well

recovery partition

can anyone tell me what the recovery partition in relation to mmcblk0***? When I run df there is dev, mnt, system, cache, data, factory, storage, emulated x4 and that is it. I would think that there would be a recovery partition as well. Perhaps it is the one labeled "factory". I dont think it is though because it is showing as only 1.9M. I am trying to replace the recovery partition with dd because I cant get fastboot to work for some reason. I am using linux and adb works fine. Also I dont have root yet which is what I am trying to do now.
Code:

Software Problems in my Redmi 2 2014818 - HardBrick

Hello,
This story started few days ago I am having REDMI 2 (2014818) and was using it On Lolipop Rom MIUI 7 Of REDMI 2 PRIME(because of VoLTE) with TWRP 3.0 then after I wanted to downgrade to 4.4 of Redmi 2 4G Rom.
So I flashed using Mi Flash Tool Latest but it's results was bad and flash failed with error showing missing file and after that by mistake I flashed Mi Note 4G rom in confusion it also showed error and the situation was :-
* Phone was not Booting up
* Not Response of Power Button
* No Response Of charging
* Can't Access FASTBOOT or Recovery
* No Reaction when it was attached to PC - Basically my phone was Hard Bricked.
So I went through it and attached a wire in NEW TESTPOINT and it started Dedecting in PC with battery only as - °Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in task Manger. I am using Windows 7 32bit with Driver enforcement Disabled
So I proceeded for flashing via latest Mi Flash Tool (2016.08.30.0) and Latest Redmi 2 Global Stable FastBoot Rom (MIUI 8)
First I flashed and Got Error of "Ping Target Failed"
and when I retried 2nd time I Got Error "cannot receive hello packet"
I tried many times, Restarted Pc, changed pc, ran as administrator etc but nothing helped.
So, secondly I gave a try with old MI Flash Tool (2015.10.28.0) with Latest Redmi 2 Global Stable FastBoot Rom (MIUI 8)
First I got error of "reached the end of file . . . . . "
and when I retried the error came like instalation can't perform waiting device . . . .
And at Bottom It was Flashing device Busy and a Disable Driver Signature enforcement Popup came tried that also but nothing worked.
I am Attaching log of Latest MI flash Tool.
The I tried Snapdragon flash tool But that also not worked. I have attached the screen shot.
Now Finally I need your help to get My phone Life back and I can't sent it to service center because it is out of warranty and they will go for Motherboard replacement which is costly. I have tried my best to solve it but I failed please help me.

It can fix but cause money
Hardbrick is also happen to me when i changed CM13 to MIUI8...
This is happen because you erase boot in the phone's ROM. That contain boot file to start Rom, Fastboot, Charging and Recovery......
So ,the phone cannot fix with any software.....
You need to change you phone's hardware ROM or motherboard to fix this....
So, go to nearest MI service center.
you need to pay money even have warranty...

Flash fast boot rom
Use Mi flash 20151028 (google it)

Use old MiFlash version and it works
See the thread "thread-354050-1-1.html" on en.miui.com (form the URL yourself using en.miui.com and the thread name given)
Use old miflash version. I had exact same problem and the above thread worked for me

U can easily switch to Lp miui to Kk miui with 50mb fimrwares flashing through twrp ?.
No need of mi flash tool.
I have uploaded the firmwares to my drive.
Miui Lp (for volte...kk won't work) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw3_QwnI11oUTlZ3TTM5S3NOQ2M/view?usp=drivesdk
Miui Kk Firmware, after flashing from twrp clean rom and install miui kk to get booted up (volte will not work) in custom roms - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw3_QwnI11oUUzhtQ3JucUdQRnc/view?usp=drivesdk

[solved] Bricked a2017 chinese

Hi Guys, I think I ended up bricking my Chinese A2017:
After following step Step 8a: to flash twrp-3.0.4-0-ailsa_ii.img, described in this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-b13-chinese-a2017-root-unlock-t3549873
I haven't been able to boot recovery again, not even using Axon7root.exe -p N to flash it again.
I had the Chinese bootstack B10 and B29 US version installed working flawlessly, so I tried from EDL:
Using Miflash 2016.12.22: Flashing FASTBOOT_UNLOCK and then B29_TWRP (Marshmallow):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514
I think this made the boot image unbootable from my Chinese model, when I switch the phone on, ZTE logo appears , but I can't boot my system or recovery anymore, I'm stuck on EDL.
There is another thread that I thought, would have worked: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon7-official-firmware-version-b07-cn-t3551590
I checked the MD5 listed in the post, and started flashing, however, after some seconds flash failed: ERROR_BAD_FORMAT 0

Can you help me to check why no recovery image is usable?
And furthermore, Why can't I flash the only full recovery image which should unbrick my phone?
EDIT: I documented my solution in post #17: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71002693&postcount=17
Thanks a lot in advance!

I don't think you can flash twrp 3.0.4 with a locked bl.
Try flashing signed twrp instead.
Also, I don't think Miflash is compatible with your device but I could be wrong.

How to get signed TWRP?

I used TWRP and flash the IMG file, but that must be the problem.

But there is no Signed TWRP posted in XDA ¿Can someone PM me signed TWRP?
Furthermore, how could I flash it if I only have EDL working?

The thread AXON7 Official firmware Version B07 for US and CN, flash with miflash via 9008 port
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon7-official-firmware-version-b07-cn-t3551590
Suggests something else, however, by following it, I ended up bricking, instead of unbricking my device. I can't post there, but I suggest you to warn others then.

And which version should I try? the one for a2017 B10? (Which was my latest flashed bootstack)
It isn't my lucky day... as currently, dev host's downloads aren't working http://d-h.st/aceq

I would start by only flashing twrp and unlocking.

Jus to be clear, do you mean, running a2017root-release-cn-b10.zip which (I think) flashes signed TWRP 3.0.2
Or flashing The image TWRP recovery 3.0.2-2 with miflash?
I read that someone else asked about mirrors, and you @lafester answered that they were available in firmware thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70945594&postcount=919
I've been looking all over for them, but still the search engine didn't bring me back any results.
Do you know where to download these? https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204

A2017_B13_BootStack_EDL https://mega.nz/#!gtRAQA4b!hHXczuQk1CkFQdLNYqjNbOjj54ehRkxGykHjsAiHSyA
Flash my package, using miflash in edl mode.
It also contains a full-functional fastboot! :good:

Ok, now I have a Chinese recovery and Fastboot.
Fastboot won't work, as my bootloader is locked.
I have overwritten boot and reflashed to have TWRP, but it can't mount /data /system /sdcard , TWRP reports unable to find crypto footer and fo each one, failed to mount

A2017_B13_BootStack_EDL contains fastboot that supports all commands
and this fastboot oem unlock
You can't boot into fastboot by using "vol+ & power" ???
If you want tenfar`s TWRP, just replace recovery.img in my package with tenfar`s TWRP 3.0.2-2 signed and flash again
or try this https://mega.nz/#!9kZyxJZa!XZOlo6Tfq1HTMiFsCnBxF6c32VfmXO7J8_TNW9Nh738

that's what I did, but to allow TWRP to write partitions and flash a system I had to use the recovery (in Chinese) you provided me, and do a factory reset.

So I was able to install TWRP:
I had to flash A2017_B13_BootStack_EDL usgin miflash
Then I booted into stock recovery and had to restore factory settings (as the encryption was messed up)
Flashed A2017_B13_BootStack_EDLFlash again but changing recovery.img with twrp 3.0.2 signed (https://mega.nz/#F!kYtRAJjJ!5tD1zPpo0nw2tJwhANA9pQ!dVMjmayY) with with miflash
Flash ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B10_BootStack_by_DrakenFX and draken ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B10_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX
This unbricked my phone.
What I still can't do is root it.
I boot into TWRP
flash TWRP_UnlockBootloaderPackage_by_DrakenFX.zip
reboot in fastboot
Fastboot oem unlock still says not allowed.
I thought axon7root.exe was key to allow unlock, but when I used it once more, it messed my TWRP again (and I had to flash with miflash with TWRP once again)

check the settings -> developer options -> oem unlocking
A2017_B13_BootStack_EDL allready have full fastboot, and you not need to flash Draken packege.
Allow oem unlocking in settings, reboot in to fastboot and execute fastboot oem unlock. Then flash official TWRP, and then SuperSU

Got it working, you were right again!

This didn't work when I had B29 over B10 bootstack installed, but now having full B10 it did!

Do you have the Navigation bar back? I had the same issue with my Chinese Axon 7 but when I restore the EDL image I still miss the navigation bar!!

This looks very interesting! I have a dead essential I can use this on if you can confirm it works!!!

I have a dead one as well. But I have no idea what to do with the file.

Does anybody found it?

I can't find password out. Can you just post it directly? Thanks a lot.

One idea.. Has anyone asked Sonim?
They gave me debug images along with flash tools for the XP8 when I asked about a year ago.. Although not as useful as the early (unlockable) debug images provided by eleotk.. Sonim had to verify I was local in the US and it took a few days but was not an issue. We are seeing now that many variations of the debug image exist for the XP8 so I'm sure it's the same case on this XP5812.
They do seem to keep a tighter grip on the XP5s since custom apps require Sonim direct validation/signing but it may be worth a shot since any debug images they provide would have the required mbn file for flashing.
Obviously you need to give them a developer style excuse as they will likely not help if they know your trying to modify the device.
I would ask them myself however the only XP5s I have is a Sprint XP5800 that's working with the ZTE 8920 mbn file. This issue appears unique to the variant I believe? Aside from the XP5823 label - it looks simular on my end.

It seems that I should find the Sprint version XP5800 easier, XP5800 is too little information.

Please forgive my lack of knowledge. This file/process is not something that could fix a bricked phone, correct?

1. First you need to install QPST, and then confirm the following files in the QPST installation directory.
D:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin
QFIL.exe
Fhloader.exe
QSaharaServer.exe

2. The device needs to switch to port 9008.
3 Download official file extract
https://storage.googleapis.com/essential-static/PH1-Images-QP1A.191005.014.zip
4 I will release 4 files and extract them into the official file.
5 Running QFIL
