Instal Blackberry priv Non US Carrier autoloader on AT&T

Hey
Is it possible to install Non US Carrier autoloader on AT&T to get rid of AT&T bloatware and to getting latest update via OTA?
Because I am live outs the US and did not have AT&T SIM.

Here is what I have done with my AT&T Priv.
1. Download both AT&T and common non-US carrier autoloader archives from BB website and extract them to separate folders. Make sure to download the closest versions of the two autoloaders.
2. Replace img/oem.img file in AT&T autoloader with the one from common autoloader.
Run flashall script in AT&T autoloader to flash your phone as usual, you will be upgraded to the latest AT&T ROM without those AT&T bloatware.
Bonus:
If you would like to preserve data when flashing autoloaders, i.e. upgrade without reset your phone to factory default, follow this:
Open flashall script and comment out two lines that run below commands:
fastboot.exe oem securewipe
flash userdata %IMG%\userdata.img
Then run flashall script as usual.
Above are all tested on my phone without problem.

Thank you.

I did it today. It is woks perfectly. Thank you a lot :good:

I had a typo in my post regarding how to avoid wiping data while flashing. The 2nd command to comment out should be "flash userdata %IMG%\userdata.img".

Hey Kraml, your solution has a lot of interested folks over at Crackberry. Can you post some more detailed instructions?
Better yet, if you have an autoloader that's Marshmellow based already set up and share it with the community you'd become an instant rock star!
Here's the thread I started:

Does this convert AT&T to factory unlock??

No. It removes ATT software only.

its because your phone has password protection. simply remove password / pin or pattern lock screen

Could someone make a file the that is the AT&T update package minus the bloatwear and without the wipe. I would gladly donate for it working.

Could someone make the file for our AT&T Priv, minus the firmware and where it doesn't wipe the device. I would gladly pay for it!

Ew, buddy I've done for myself with the instruction pretty easy except PIN password part.
I've pack whole files as a size 1.6GB 7z file, based on my carrier upload limit it's too big to uploading it, estimate more than an hour, so I packed the "Patch"
part for u, which means u still need to access the official site to download AT&T part and decompress it http://global.blackberry.com/content/blackberry-com/en/support/smartphones/Android-OS-Reload.html
Then download my "Patch" part https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-qpp_ciC37MUEVmSDYzR3c2OXc
Decompress it any where u like then copy it to the folder where your AT&T files decompressed, confirm overwrite the same name files.
Then just run the flashall.bat
And yes I only modified Windows version

Good morning, I have a question, recently bought the BlackBerry priv AT & T unlocked, I wonder if I can put Android's own BlackBerry 6 clean without losing the unlock? or I have to put the AT & T it? I run the risk of having a locked phone? Excuse my English.

Do we know if this is an error which can be ignored safely or there is fix for this?
error: cannot load '.\img\cache.img.\host\windows-x86\bin\fastboot.exe'

Hello!
May i ask a question does your patch can work with new version AAG873?
Thanks for your kind reply

Greetings from Germany

Did anyone else that did this get an OTA update notification today? I'm actually surprised I would get something considering I'm not using an AT&T simcard.
Update:
Looks like this is the reason why I received the OTA update. Blackberry is starting to support the unlocked AT&T phones. http://www.techtimes.com/articles/1...receives-updates-directly-from-blackberry.htm

I just did this on the Verizon variant, which i'm using on T-Mobile in the US, and it is insane how much better it's running. I'm pretty sure everyone should do this if they don't have the factory unlocked model

Do you know if this will work on a verizon branded model? I am looking at a VZ model for cheap but will be using it on Tmo, on a side note anyone know if the VZ model supports wifi calling on Tmo? Thanks.

I have additionally also replaced system.img with the one from the common autoloader. Otherwise the "System update" wouldn't do anything. Now I get the normal Android update screen, the not dreaded "AT&T Software update". I hope that it'll actually update.

with SU means just flash the kernel and device will wakeup rooted and su installed
CLEAN means that after flashing the kernel, you must flash recovery and flash superSU via TWRP and any other scripts you wana flash.

Moto E4 (Qualcomm) new september update?

It looks like a new update is out for the Qualcomm, factory unlocked version of the Moto E4. I see the update number as "npqs26.69-27-3" and a description of "Security updates through September 1, 2017".
Anyone know how the update can be applied for those of us that are rooted? Has anyone already performed the update? Any issues to report?

You have to go fully stock to update. Probably will involve wiping the device.

I have the Verizon variant Moto E4, bought from Walmart in $40 deal in August, unlocked from eBay and then it started working for me for my AT&T SIM, yesterday I mistakenly updated the same to NDQ26.69-23-3 and now it is not working for my AT&T Sim. can anyone suggest what to do ? Has anyone run into this issue ?

Update unsuccessful on unlocked and rooted Moto E4 Qualcomm Perry
I have a moto e4 (qualcomm, perry) bought from Amazon (unlocked, no added) and have a CDMA trackfone-verizon sim. Phone is working fine, but the update will not apply. It gives me an error and indicates the update was unsuccessful. The bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
The issue seems to be the sha1 sum of by boot partition (see last_log below). I downloaded the stock rom for this device from https :// firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20E4/Stock/
I believe the right one is PERRY_NPQ26.69-27_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT1768_CFC_CANADA.xml.zip because Settings->About Phone->Build number is "NPQ26.69-27" and cat /proc/cpuinfo indicates "Device: perry". Does anybody else find it frustrating that I cannot get this file directly from motorola?
Inside that zip is a boot.img file. The sha1 sum of that file (computed with openssl sha1 boot.img) is 8f6e5f9814b84c48054bc9fd3df9f91610b85e09, which exactly matches the red text in the log file below. Also the length, 16777216, matches my current boot partition to the byte. I was hoping that simply writing this to the boot partition would fix the issue, but that was a big mistake. I copied the file to the phone and executed:
$ dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=boot.img.orig #to save a backup of the original partition
$ dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot
this bricked the device and it wouldn't boot. Didn't even make it to the Motorola splash screen. After some digging I was able to use fastboot on my PC to restore the boot.img.orig using:
PC$ fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img.orig
This restored the device to functioning order, but I was still not able to install the update. After this, tried to boot the stock boot image without flashing it using:
PC$ fastboot boot boot.img
This caused it to hang forever at the blue motorola splash screen. Power cycling cleared the issue as expected.
As you probably guessed by now, I am an experienced linux user, but new to android and really don't know what I am doing. @madbat99 suggests that I will have to flash the complete stock rom, wiping the device. I know how to backup, both with a backup app and with twrp, so wiping won't be a huge issue. Does anybody know how to flash a full rom? I am using gentoo linux and have fastboot and adb installed and can communicate with the bootloader, I have just never flashed a phone before. Should I expect to have to relock the bootloader for the update to apply? Afterwords, I am going to have to re-unlock the bootloader, re-root the device and then restore all my backups, correct?
I really want to apply this update due to the large gaping security holes it patches.

I have a moto e4 (qualcomm, perry) bought from Amazon (unlocked, no added) and have a CDMA trackfone-verizon sim. Phone is working fine, but the update will not apply. It gives me an error and indicates the update was unsuccessful. The bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
The issue seems to be the sha1 sum of by boot partition (see last_log below). I downloaded the stock rom for this device from https :// firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20E4/Stock/
I believe the right one is PERRY_NPQ26.69-27_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT1768_CFC_CANADA.xml.zip because Settings->About Phone->Build number is "NPQ26.69-27" and cat /proc/cpuinfo indicates "Device: perry". Does anybody else find it frustrating that I cannot get this file directly from motorola?
Inside that zip is a boot.img file. The sha1 sum of that file (computed with openssl sha1 boot.img) is 8f6e5f9814b84c48054bc9fd3df9f91610b85e09, which exactly matches the red text in the log file below. Also the length, 16777216, matches my current boot partition to the byte. I was hoping that simply writing this to the boot partition would fix the issue, but that was a big mistake. I copied the file to the phone and executed:
$ dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=boot.img.orig #to save a backup of the original partition
$ dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot
this bricked the device and it wouldn't boot. Didn't even make it to the Motorola splash screen. After some digging I was able to use fastboot on my PC to restore the boot.img.orig using:
PC$ fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img.orig
This restored the device to functioning order, but I was still not able to install the update. After this, tried to boot the stock boot image without flashing it using:
PC$ fastboot boot boot.img
This caused it to hang forever at the blue motorola splash screen. Power cycling cleared the issue as expected.
As you probably guessed by now, I am an experienced linux user, but new to android and really don't know what I am doing. @madbat99 suggests that I will have to flash the complete stock rom, wiping the device. I know how to backup, both with a backup app and with twrp, so wiping won't be a huge issue. Does anybody know how to flash a full rom? I am using gentoo linux and have fastboot and adb installed and can communicate with the bootloader, I have just never flashed a phone before. Should I expect to have to relock the bootloader for the update to apply? Afterwords, I am going to have to re-unlock the bootloader, re-root the device and then restore all my backups, correct?
I really want to apply this update due to the large gaping security holes it patches.

I hate to quote a post that long but you cannot install an official update on a rooted device with custom recovery.
If you have the correct firmware for your device, you need to extract it, rename .xml files to .img and flash with fastboot.
But it really needs to be correct firmware. I don't know the correct one for your device.
Might help

Thank you @madbat99 . Using this method I was able to flash back to stock and install the update. The update works fine with my tracfone-verizon sim. I am not having the issue reported by @z82anu
To automate the process, I wrote a perl script that parses the servicefile.xml or flashfile.xml, verifies all the steps are valid, verifies that all files exist, verifies the md5 sums, and then executes the appropriate fastboot commands. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/maurerpe/stock-flash Hopefully, this will help other linux users looking to flash back to stock. Should work on window and Mac as well, but I haven't tested it.

[+]RESTOCK - stock restore, repartition, repair and reset, including USB driver fix

RESTOCK is a new Nexus 7 2013 repair and factory reset tool for Windows. The NRT app (Nexus Root Toolkit) is similar but is old, closed-source, unsupported, abandoned, does no eMMC diagnostics and most importantly - it offers no repartitioning. Unlike NRT, Restock is specialized and optimized for Nexus 7'13 only, with streamlined operation and minimal user input.
If fastboot mode is available, then no matter what software problems like bootloops or softbricks are observed, or what custom ROM you had used before - Restock will restore your tablet to original, latest stock image, factory setup in 10 minutes (more time for one-off components download if necessary). Unforeseen issues should be reported in this thread and hopefully will be resolved within 24 hours.
If fastboot mode is not available, try the unbricking guide first.
For hardware issues, check this thread.
FEATURES
supports both flo and deb variants
small app download size (2.5MB)
automatic latest stock image (mob30x) and USB driver download from official google.com locations
robust, reliable USB device detection and driver installation - tested on Windows: XP-32, W7-32/64, W10-64(1809)
eMMC memory test and diagnostics
automatic device unlocking
option of repartition to original factory layout
- precise and reliable for any eMMC size, including 64GB and 128GB mods
- required for repartition scripts which check for original layout and flashing specific custom ROMs like e.g. Ubuntu Touch
- advised for selling in original factory condition and resolving difficult ROM flashing issues and starting from scratch
minimal user interaction and fully scripted auto-processing
the Restock script is open for inspection, corrections and improvements; post your comments and suggestions here
USAGE
download the attached zip file
unzip it
double-click on "restock.bat"

RESTOCK 2
SCRIPTS
restock.bat - the main script: stock install, repair, repartition and factory reset
addons.bat - install TWRP custom recovery, mob30x-fix1, root/Magisk, ElementalX-N7-6.17 kernel
fstrim.bat - faster eMMC writes: dispatches TRIM command for all unused filesystem blocks
safe-unlock.bat - unlock without data loss
getlog.bat - diagnostics #1
relog.bat - diagnostics #2
ADDONS
These addons should be installed immediately after RESTOCK and before Android setup:
TWRP deb/flo custom recovery (it must be flashed before the other addon options)
MOB30X-FIX1 - improved Android 6.0.1 stock MOB30X installation, info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=4021757 In short, it adds WiFi 'Skip' setup option and removes old GApps to increase space on the system partition
root/Magisk - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
ElementalX-N7-6.17 custom kernel - I recommend to preset "doubletap2wake" and "battery life extender". For car use also preset "USB OTG + charge mode", info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389022
ERRORS
If you see errors, copy and report them. Run getlog.bat and include "getlog.log" in your post. If possible, also run relog.bat and attach "relog-xxxxxx.zip" to your post.
FSTRIM
For optimal eMMC performance run fstrim.bat from time to time.
SAFE UNLOCK
Unlock your device without data loss. MiFlash is described in the Unbricking Guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75360854&postcount=199
Do not proceed unless you have read the unbricking guide and downloaded all components.
OPTIONS
Try mob30x-fix1 for improved Android 6.0.1 stock installation.
Next consider CROSS : 1-click installation of secure, up-to-date Android 7-to-11 custom ROMs, including TWRP, repartition, root, etc. as easily as RESTOCK.
NOTE
If Android is stuck on boot logo, with TWRP flash k23m-persist-fix2.zip

Did not even realize this was new! Thanks for making such a wonderfull tool! Currently using it to flash flo, and it works great!
Will install lineage after this tho

Dang that was timely.
It's a big hammer for what could sometimes be a small problem but it works quickly and perfectly. The alternative is pulling hair out for hours while trying to find the easy fix.
Thanks for sharing.

wow my nexus 7 was in boot loop and i had an old NRT tool which wouldnt work at all.
computer wouldnt detect next 7 2013 thru usb cable
cannot mount usb-otg in TWRP
boot loop in custom rom
your tool fixed it so fast and easy.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TOOL!!!

Thanks for this k23m although I hope to never have to use it. My Kingston equipped Nexus 7 is still going strong and it's my most used android device. If I run the emmc memory test and diagnostics would it tell me if the emmc is about to die and determine its overall wear and health?

Hello Tmzdroid, your Kingston was from a newer production batch and probably is OK but maybe do not try any major OS/ROM changes as this most recent case demonstrates. The eMMC generation used in N7 has no "SMART" flash wear diagnostics like in SSD. This feature was introduced in eMMC v5+. Restock can identify Kingston if it has standard partitions and checks for the terminal, most common, read-only condition Kingstons suffer from. In short, the test can not indicate eMMC degradation level. The only forewarning you may get is a period of slow-downs prior to going read-only. If you feel it is happening, do fastboot format cache and if it takes longer than 2 seconds, it is almost the end and time to get your data out of the tablet, while you still can.
:highfive:

Thank you for this! It fixed my deb model <3

I'm getting "Incorrect device" trying to use Restock to recover from flo-deb_clamor_repartition. It's definitely flo, I am looking at the bootloader right now. fastboot format cache completes in 0.086 seconds. flo 32G, rev_e, bootloader FLO-04.08, no carrier, secure boot enabled, lock state unlocked.

Strangely, it won't run unless I run as administrator. I double-click it and nothing happens. If I run as administrator then it runs in c:\windows\system32 and doesn't list the contents of the directory you want... I even tried moving restock's folder into my user dir instead of under downloads just in case something about the path was causing problems. No idea WTF that is about. Perms look good. I went ahead and just ran the commands manually from a CMD shell in the proper directory, looks like they produced the output you were looking for... except the find command doesn't work there. Maybe it would work in command.com, dunno.
I'm not sure how much help this will be since I used other tools since trying to use restock, but here it is anyway.

run Restock
It should work now. As your N7 is already fixed, just close the window when it stops at "Note: Android flash takes 2 minutes, initial boot takes 7 minutes" and nothing will be flashed. Also, don't go ahead with "Restore original partitions? [y/n]" if it is offered.
If it still does not work, login to Windows with an admin account and then run Restock.

Sigh. Windows is garbage in so many ways.

I was just thinking I want to restore my Nexus back to 100% stock, and magically this recent thread appears. Worked perfectly. Thank you.

Strangely, only custom ROMs are working for me. I always get bootloop whenever I flash any of the razor Nexus Factory Images. I also tried the script you provided and finishes successfully, but when booting, it always end in bootloop with Google logo on it. I have access to fastboot and even can flash and boot to TWRP with no problemas. Any idea?
EDIT: Attached logs after re-running the script

It is a very interesting case. We need internal logs, please 'install' get-logs-sdcard.zip in TWRP, find 'logs.tgz' in the root of internal storage and post it here.

Thanks for the quick reply, here I attach the logs... Seems like the /persist partition is empty, maybe thats the cause of the problem?
However, I can understand why that happened, maybe because I used the /system partition script for increasing its size...
EDIT: Somehow the XDA file uploader says invalid file for .tgz format, I recompressed the folder to a .zip file

The 'persist' partition is not empty, you can see its contents in the log's 'ls_persist' file, but its SELinux contexts appear incorrect. Try this:
in TWRP backup your original 'persist' with the attached p4-backup-int.zip
go to my old post here, get those files and restore my 'persist' partition
boot stock ROM
:fingers-crossed:

Still no luck. I have re-run the get-logs script and some file permissions have changed in le_persist (checked with a diff comparer), as well as new file called settings. Flashed factory image MOB30X and bootloop, then flash UnLegacy rom android 8.1.0 and boots with no problem. Cant understand what is happening... Maybe it is possible to use UART debugging to get some logs?

Yeah, I had the idea of checking last_kmsg just after my previous post. Saw that mounting mmcblk0p30 was causing kernel panic. Ran TWRP Format Cache and err well... Bootloop was now in the boot animation (maybe I had to reflash factory image, which I didnt). Didnt see about mmcblk0p24, will format cache and post feedback. Thank you!

How To Guide How to unbrick Nothing Phone 1 fastboot bootloop

Welcome to this unbrick tutorial​
NB: I state immediately that i'm not responsible for any damage that occurs on your phone. This process worked for my Nothing Phone on 1.1.3, but maybe not on yours.
I do not suggest following this tutorial if you are on 1.1.4 but since your phone is already out of usage, you can try on your own.
In the next lines we will see how to restore our device to its original factory conditions, after unlocking the Bootloader. Note that all your data will be lost.
You are missing some of the phone partitions? This might solve your issue.
Let's begin!
MATERIAL REQUIRED :
Latest platform tools correctly installed Link
- Unlocked bootloader both classic and critical unlock Link
- Sh4ttered Tool (download the version that matches the version you are trying to restore when you bricked your phone ) Link
- Super partition listed in post #2 and corresponding to your device version and region
- PC with Microsoft Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11
- USB type C cable
- Drivers of Nothing Phone installed
STEP 1 : Prepare everything
Extract the super partition from the zip to the platform tools folder and rename it super.img. Boot your device into Fastboot mode through power + Vol -
Once into fastboot mode, launch a CMD window into your platform tool folder by typing cmd in the search bar of your platform tool folder.
Then, connect your phone to the computer and type the command :
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If a line appears, your phone is correctly connected.
Type the command :
fastboot flash super super.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it flashed correctly, you should see something like this :
C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash super super.img
Invalid sparse file format at header magic

Finished. Total time: 167.087s

Click to collapse
Once that step is done, your phone has now working super partitions.
STEP 2 : Flash stock firmware
After flashing super.img, you have to flash all the left partitions. For that, with powershell, run the Download.ps1 made by Sh4ttered and downloaded earlier.
Download the correct region and version of the firmware.
Once the Firmware is downloaded, you should see a new fw.zip
Run the flash_all.bat script, it should flash all the partitions without issues.
If something went wrong, tell me in the comment section.
Then, your device should reboot.
STEP 3 : Check your slots
If your device is still not booting, simply change the slot you're on with the following commands :
fastboot reboot fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should reboot into fastbootd.
Then use :
fastboot getvar all
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Look for the line where it says current-slot and it will tell you if it's A slot or B slot
Once you know on wich slot you are, try booting on the other one by running this last command :
fastboot set_active b
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're on a slot, or :
fastboot set_active a
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're on b slot.
Reboot your phone after that, and you should boot normally.
If not, let me know your issues in the comments by posting your logs and explaining me where you had an error.
Sorry for my bad english sometimes
Huge thanks to XDA Community, ssut for payload-dumper-go, Sh4ttered and his team for his tool.

Update :
Here are listed all the Super Partitions available for us to fix our Nothing :
1.1.3 EEA : Link
1.1.4 Global : Link
More to come...
Remember that you have to download the Sh4ttered tool version according to the version you are trying to restore.
Again, feel free to share a backup of yours that is not listed here to help other in need

I've tried this on my Nothing Phone (1) EEA version which bootloops. It doesn't work. Whilst booting from the A slot, there's the 15 seconds of splash screen, then it reboots, same as before.

The Persist partition contains the unique calibration settings for the sensors on your phone. It cannot be recovered. If it's really corrupted, the only way is to send the phone back for warranty for now.
On Xiaomi forum, they solved the issue by flashing the persist partition from a stock fastboot rom, can't tell if it'll work with yours but you Can Always give it a try if you can find a persist partition backup

For the B slot, I think I had errors too, but switching slots fixed mine.

I do not suggest following this tutorial if you are on 1.1.4 but since your phone is already out of usage, you can try on your own.
In the next lines we will see how to restore our device to its original factory conditions, after unlocking the Bootloader. Note that all your data will be lost.
You are missing some of the phone partitions? This might solve your issue.
Let's begin!
MATERIAL REQUIRED :
Latest platform tools correctly installed Link
Unlocked bootloader both classic and critical unlock Link
Sh4ttered Tool (the 1.1.3 update!! for now as I don't have a super partition backup for both 1.1.4 or 1.1.3 Global) Link
1.1.3 super partition (EEA Only at the moment, feel free to share a Global one in the comments) Link
PC with Microsoft Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11
USB type C cable
Drivers of Nothing Phone installed
STEP 1 : Prepare everything
Extract the super partition from the zip to the platform tools folder and rename it super.img. Boot your device into Fastboot mode through power + Vol -
Once into fastboot mode, launch a CMD window into your platform tool folder by typing cmd in the search bar of your platform tool folder.
Then, connect your phone to the computer and type the command :
If a line appears, your phone is correctly connected.
Type the command :
If it flashed correctly, you should see something like this :
Once that step is done, your phone has now working super partitions.
STEP 2 : Flash stock firmware
After flashing super.img, you have to flash all the left partitions. For that, Run the Download.ps1 with powershell and download the 1.1.3 EEA made by Sh4ttered and downloaded earlier.
Once the Firmware is downloaded, you should see a new fw.zip
Run the flash_all.bat script, it should flash all the partitions without issues.
If something went wrong, tell me in the comment section.
Then, your device should reboot.
STEP 3 : Check your slots
If your device is still not booting, simply change the slot you're on with the following commands :
You should reboot into fastbootd.
Then use :
Look for the line where it says current-slot and it will tell you if it's A slot or B slot
Once you know on wich slot you are, try booting on the other one by running this last command :
If you're on a slot, or :
If you're on b slot.
Reboot your phone after that, and you should boot normally.
If not, let me know your issues in the comments by posting your logs and explaining me where you had an error.
Sorry for my bad english sometimes

I didn't told it was a tool. It is an unbrick method because in case you didn't encountered the issue before and you don't know what you are talking about, when you do something wrong with the Nothing Phone and you break your super partition, you Can try to flash whatever you want, it will Never boot unless you flash this. For someone who don't understand as good as you how to recover his phone, this Can be helpful.
For the downgrade, I can't tell, try it at your own risks.
