cause its not easy for one or u would of released a rom already 2 we dont have original source code for device so that slows progress 3 if we go to build one we have to modify a source from another device. i tried porting it was fail everytime, but u can always try to make one. pick one you like and port it or build it. im working on lineage atm someone else resurrection remix. and thats all i think

Start here, get your system dump and create a fresh device tree on github https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045 then you will have a base for cm, rr whatever you choose to build. If you want to build aosp source would be needed I believe or backported but a system dump will literally give you the same files that you would gain from building from source, I just went through this myself. Just trying to help, follow the guide and if you need help with a device tree I could try and help. good luck ?

go for it as u will have noticed if u read the other thread we have dumped the system i have even dumped all partitions. just cause u have the files doesnt mean u can click here and magic full working os comes out. without original source code we have to make changes to the source from a device with similiar hardware. as well as make sure correct paths to files that the other source did not include. this is due to other phones sometimes have different file structures. i dunno bout anyone else but im doing my best and going as fast as i can without just 100% fail. uploading my source i made to build on my server if it boots after i build it good if everything works awesome if not if it boots then i can go through check whats missing

wasnt being rude i modified my last post being i was in a hurry and didnt type it out so well. i was just saying man if u know the easy way to make us a rom. go for it alot of people will thank you. if not give us time its not a easy process. also by the way my first time making a rom well building from source i tried to port for about week and a half on windows that didnt work. now im using linux so hope that gives more promising results. as well building it also takes some time why i switched to using my server to compile it uploading files still got 50 gig to go. after i get a wroking one im going to try and fix our twrp to allow for those who want stock to do ota updates from twrp and backup cust and other partitions if feel a need too. hope u dont take this as being rude as it providing info and and letting you know if u can build one then thats awesome. if not give people time heres a list of the partitions

While i appreciate the info and don't worry about it try this at least to get started. Look up @superR's kitchen and take your files, throw down the 10 bucks and get the donate version with plugins, which i can say personally helps a ton or Android Studio maybe? and take what you have and make a ROM that way although the kitchen is like ly the easiest route. You are well on your way! Im passing through and trying to help, tonight ill download the files you have and see what i can piece together if you want but obviously i can't make any promises. Providing info like you did is the way to go ? link me to your files either in a pm or here and ill see what i can do.

madvane20,
You mentioned earlier that we don't have source code. I checked the Huawei site and found the source code posted. Perhaps Huawei silently posted it without anyone noticing because people stop checking.
H1611 Huawei Ascend XT, Texas-A1(H1611), Android6.0, EMUI4.1
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/opens...Type=openSourceSoftware&pageSize=10&curPage=1
Search for "ascend" and it shows up as the only result. It contains kernel.tar.gz at 168 MB along with a readme.txt on how to build it. I extracted a *.c file to make sure it has real source code, and it sure does.
Perhaps this will help with development. Do you think this is the last piece we need to get it all going? If so, I am ready to go out and buy one!
Thanks for keeping it going.

Awesome that you found this, Huawei has released the source code. Should be easier to compile a ROM and tweak TWRP now.
In the search box, indeed type Ascend and it comes up from the above link

Awesome! Here's the direct download link if anyone wants to skip the search:

It's taking time but it will come. We have a couple devs that are not all that experienced and learning as they go. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
One thing people forget it's time consuming (especially when you are just learning) and everyone expects it for nothing. The devs do it as a hobby in their free time. If we want an experienced dev and want results, the answer is simple. Get as many people as we can, pool some money together and pay someone with all that knowledge for their time.
Then we would have some custom Roms ASAP... Three XDA members that I know of are working on it and once we have something I hope many of us will donate to thank them for their efforts.
I thought about starting a bounty to collect funds and pay someone. If you really know what you are doing it does not take very long. Say 100 members at $5 a pop, that would get us some pretty good results and what you are asking for

What do you not currently have which you expect to gain from a custom ROM?

[s4 active i9295 intl. version] recovery CWM TWRP

I would like to start a new thread with topic as listed. It´s just so much easier to do searches this way.
As of now, there is no custom recovery for our device. While the root method from the i9505 also works on our device, custom recoveries do not. The issue seems to be with the display driver.
I would greatly appreciate if someone more knowledgable than me could elaborate on this.
I would be interested in this too. Also whether there is any prospect of rom development for the international active.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Bumping.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a separate section for the i9295?
Yes there's a lot less audience for the device, but it is still an S4 model.
Any ideas on who we could contact to get the separate section made? (Not to mention one for the S4 Zoom when it's released)

Agree and bump...I'm thinking of getting this phone (it was my ideal choice, like the S4...but can be put underwater!), but the lack of community is starting to put me off...

Here in Hong Kong, as usual you can find it before anywhere in the shady shops in some tech markets. Right now for some 450€, which to be honest isn't a bad price. But Fortress and all the big shops (kind of like Media Markt) still don't sell it. I hope you're right and the buyers will come around to it. I'm holding my purchase until this is cleared up, I woudln't want a phone with no support. I had enough trouble with the S2 and its unsupported Exynos chipset.
hope to see in the near future a custom recovery for this devise
this are the mountpoints?

And attached the log of the first TWRP build thx to Dees_Troy
At the moment the screen didn´t work.
when you run the logfile of the stock recovery, is there anything resembling these lines:
Starting the UI...Pixel format: 1080x1920 @ 32bpp
Pixel format: RGBX_8888
framebuffer: fd 4 (1080 x 1920)
??
One would suspect that´s where the difference is, as everything seems to run except graphics

Ok, so in the TWRP for the i9095 we have:
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
while in stock recovery for the i9295 we have:
ro.sf.lcd_density=480
OK is there anybody here who can compile TWRP and knows where to set lcd density? My head is too small for these things...
Edit: On second thought, this may just be the scale factor for the screen and may not have anything to do with the display driver, so I just might be on the wrong track here... don´t know for sure

Edit: On second thought, this may just be the scale factor for the screen and may not have anything to do with the display driver, so I just might be on the wrong track here... don´t know for sure

Do you have log files for the 9505 booting twrp? Or know where to get them? I'm obviously looking myself.
On the htc one (i run both) there was an issue with the TWRP screen driver after a firmware upgrade. Is it worth contacting the TWRP team to ask them about the drivers?

when you run the logfile of the stock recovery, is there anything resembling these lines:
Starting the UI...Pixel format: 1080x1920 @ 32bpp
Pixel format: RGBX_8888
framebuffer: fd 4 (1080 x 1920)
??
One would suspect that´s where the difference is, as everything seems to run except graphics

This is also difference:
initalized graphics for qualcomm.
pixel format -> GGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBX_8888
return for qualcomm. double_buffering = 0

Have somebody contact to the cwm team?
So I managed to get cwm booted. It's saying "Warning: No file_context". I've been googling I can't find an explanation and source code is of little help. Anyone has a clue what it could be?
I'm running a backup. See if I fry anything
A preliminary version is of cwm up

The main purpose of this thread is to discuss possible ideas for development and exploitation of the Motorola Droid Turbo. Topics can range from ideas on how to accomplish certain mods as we are trying to bake them into images to ways to flash different files to unlocking the BL. I am by no means an expert and I have some ideas I'd like to share with others on various topics. There is alot of hostility on this board, lets build some community!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I do not however have total knowledge so I lack some skills to know if what I am saying is even possible. I am simply an android enthusiast, technologically inclined individual, and engineering student.
I will start us off: Since we have root permissions would it be possible to just dd a replacement recovery to the recovery partition, or even a modified bootloader. Or is that something R/W would prohibit/ not keep after a reboot? Would we be able to nandroid and restore/ install if we even could get a replacement recovery without the unlocked B/L?

Which are the imei blocks?

The IMEI is in the utags partition.
Code:
su
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/utags" of="/sdcard/utags.bin"
Then pull utags.bin off of the internal storage of the device and open it in a hex editor (you need root to copy it to the internal storage)
What about 2nd init? This seems to have been a good solution in the past. I believe this is how Safestrap worked. It used an exploit in a log file to launch 2nd init from the data partition. In this case the system would boot from data and we would presumably have full access. I don't know if the exploit would still work in 4.4.4. This would be the key, but the exploit could be added to a system image and flashed. Safestrap would be awesome, but even a simple 2nd init could work to start. I am just throwing this out there for discussion. This is way outside of my means, but someone else might be able to help.

To answer your first question, no, dd'ing a new recovery in place wouldn't work. I think wp(write protect) would stop it and even if it doesn't, booting it would fail, as it verifies the signature of the partition it's booting from unless the device is unlocked or an engineering model. For your second question, yes, if you could miraculously perform the act of getting a recovery in there and it boots (emphasis on "and it boots") you *should* be able to backup/restore/install stuff.

Erh, I wasn't aware that you wanted to CHANGE your IMEI. I am afraid that I am unable to assist you with that (well, I'm able, I just don't want to because it's illegal).

In our country, you have to register to use the mobile phone brought a passport outside the country due to a ridiculous law. Also you invest 50$ before the bank for this purpose.
That's not all. The passport to be registered abroad in the last 2 months need to be logged in our country. In addition, within the last 2 years it is supposed to be saved to another mobile phone passport...
This transaction is being processed on the IMEI number...
We were so old that we bring to mobile phones from abroad, used condition but in our country we are writing the IMEI number of the phone is registered. However we have to...

This would actually be a good idea. Anyone willing to set it up?
If someone have moto maxx and check files whats changes in unlocking bootloader and try change in droid turbo too.
I have some ideas for bootloader unlock. They're probably really stupid, but bear with me. Like OP, I'm no developer, just an Android enthusiast with basic knowledge of the inner workings.
So the Moto Maxx US (XT1250) and Droid Turbo (XT1254) are essentially the same device, right? They essentially have the same specs, same hardware, software, and they both work on CDMA carriers like Verizon. The only difference is that the Maxx's bootloader is not locked by Verizon. So here are a few ideas pertaining to that.
***NOTE: It has to be the XT1250 variant
Idea A:
1. XT1250 Maxx user uses "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" or goes through WinDroid to get the unlock key
2. Key is given to a Turbo user
3. Turbo user uses "fastboot oem unlock <maxx_key>
4. Profit
Idea B (risky):
1. Turbo user downloads XT1250 system .img
2. User flashes to Turbo using RSDlite or MOFO (not sure which would work better, if at all)
3. Use WinDroid to unlock BL, root, and install a custom recovery
4. Profit
Yes, yes, I know...they are probably bad ideas, but we must consider every possibility!

These wouldn't work. Good start on ideas, though.
Thanks!
Just a quick n00b question, why wouldnt flashing the xt1250 img work?

The phone data itself (IMEI and stuff) is still the same, so the unlock data generated would still be the same, meaning Motorola would still reject it.
Was shown this as potential ways to head towards bl unlock. Leaving it here for greater minds to dissect.

Unless I'm mistaken, that would only help with a bootloader bypass. Trust me. Unlocks are better than bypasses.

Any way to modify or change it? Also, would this probably end up hard bricking me if I tried?

downgrade bootloader 5.11 to 5.01

i remember a great developer ( odia ) who downgrade the I9300 xella
has someone try this way ?

Very interesting....
Only thing to verify if partitions are the same. They should be. Since this is 2 years old wonder if Samsung has caught on.

first look there are same, I am happy with the new rom and I haven't time to test .....
if someone want to test he must take last abd version .... (you can download the zip with batch...)

I just got my phone last month and did the OJ5 update not realizing it was locked. I was on ATT Note 2 for years and years and never got to try a Dr Ketan's ROM. Pissed with the new locked bootloader.
So I'm ODIN flashing to full COJ5.
Will back up efs, param, pit and whatever else I can think of and give it a shot.
Obviously it seems to simple to work.
I did a compare yesterday on the pre-locked 5.1.1 bootloaders and the locked one.
I saw a few things in there that were different and I modified them in the locked one.
My edited one flashed so I was surprised. But I tried to downgrade and it didn't work..... So what I changed didn't make a difference. Yet ! :laugh:

i think you can try without tz.img and param.bin
look at this rar (i put the last adb)

No dice with and without param.bin. Good news still boots.
Still shows bootloader of COJ5
Maybe it does need tz.img

yes god news i boot but seem not do the job....
do you try w ith only this script
@files1\adb push sboot.bin /sdcard/sboot.bin
 @files1\adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/sboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1"

 @files1\adb shell getprop ro.boot.bootloader
 @pause
After the pause it comes back with the COJ5.
Rebooting, running same command, COJ5.
Assuming this will create a tz.img.... I haven't seen anything referring to it for 5.1.1
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/platform/15540000.dwmmc0/by-name/BOTA1 of=/sdcard/tz.img bs=4096
Also just downloaded 11/27 firmware for Kenya going to try that. I've been using the sboot.bin from here

Agree.
I'm really having no issues with 5.1.1.
I'm with you, it was more of a challenge to see if it could be done. CM 13 seems to be moving along so that may take the desire to flash back to lessen. Take care. I'll be around

Which splash? Mi Logo splash? Tux Logo splash? Razor kernel splash I assume? If its Tux Logo splash, it is needed for some LCD types to work. For Mi Logo / Razor kernel splash I think, you must edit in kernel level and compile the kernel yourself.
I want to modify bootsplash too but im soo noob to do that,
Never tried by myself, as your reference, try it at your own risk: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/device/qcom/common/tree/display/logo?h=LA.BR.1.2.7_rb1.1

Damn I dont have time to download sources and compile the kernel myself
Any other method to edit?
And yes its razor kernel splash (which is that blue thing ) or The Mi logo splash which appears before bootanimation.
But the thing is razor kernel had its splash and Kuma's cm12.1 dont!
Just that default "Linux's Penguin" appears in corner :3
Hope you got what I wanted to say

I dont want to flash CM13 now. I'm on 12.1.
Leave razorkernel. I'm not talking about 'only' razorkernel. If he is able to do so others should be too and for defferent kernel.
I've seen threads for bootlogo for motoX etc running lollipop
Anyways, do you have ubuntu? so you can run the script Kuma gave us link of.

Okay now here I am, successfully running that script on windows.
It created splash.img successfully but it was too small in size, around 65 KB :|
The one that i dumped was exactly 10MB.
Then also I flashed it but what I got was dessorted Mi logo and the same Penguin.
Now what? I'll see if I can decompile splash.img that I dumped using PIL.
Any help will be appreciated

Sorry for digging up old thread but how did it go? Did you manage to change default splashscreen?
What ive done myself so far was use X-Plore app with SuperSU access to copy splash file from /root/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name to external SD. In X-Plore splash file was 0b but upon copy it was 10MB.
Then i tried to use tool from other topic nbimg to convert splashscreen from 'unknown' format to BMP but result was bad. The tool is supposed to identify image resolution but it didnt know how in Redmi case (tool was orignally designed for HTC device i think) so i tried using w1280 h720 argument but result was like below:
http://i.imgur.com/sxYl65J.png
Well then i timply took any 720x720 image and used that nbimg tool to convert it to splash and then tried to replace it in /root/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name but on reboot it was reverted back to original

No problem for digging old thread.
I did all the things exactly as what you did and had same results.
I still desperately want to make bootlogos for our belowed wt88047 but I just can't @ketut.kumajaya please just one hint for us and we will figure out rest.
I tried that python script on windows too but same broken splash.

Can I try the batman logo.bin file inside the zip I pointed you to, through this method?
Also, will taking a Backup through recovery work for this, or do I have to flash the whole fastbot ROM if this fails?
.
P.S - Found this, but am reluctant to try, as I have office in an hour. (Will it work if I have MM 6.0.1 installed as Primary ROM? As is says for KK in that thread)

Just use his tool no need of any flashable zip or something.
Sorry I didn't get time for your batman logo. I'll try tonight.
Btw, you can make your logo easily with that tool.
After it's compiled, flash is with terminal emulator or just fastboot command
"fastboot flash splash splash.img" and done.

Titanium Backup and Adaway Not Working

I recently flashed SuperSU v2.65 through TWRP since this seems to be the only SuperSU zip that flashes without freezing. Once the phone boots up, I update the SuperSU app through the Play Store, which brings me to v2.76. Upon launching the SuperSU app, it asks me to update the binary and then reboot, which runs smoothly. However, once I try to run Adaway, it gives me an error. Also, when I try uninstalling some apps through Titanium Backup Pro version, the app remains even after a reboot. And before anyone asks, yes, I did install BusyBox before launching both apps. Tell me what I need to do to resolve this. Perhaps TWRP is not flashing SuperSU correctly? I am not sure. Just thinking out loud.
So wait... this means your Axon 7 is basically rooted, right?

Did you install the latest Adaway for systemless root?
Are the apps asking for root permission?

Yup the Axon 7 Have Root (systemless) and i'm afraid if you update via Play Store you lose systemless , but i'm not 100% sure about that , check screenshots

I recently flashed SuperSU v2.65 through TWRP since this seems to be the only SuperSU zip that flashes without freezing. Once the phone boots up, I update the SuperSU app through the Play Store, which brings me to v2.76. Upon launching the SuperSU app, it asks me to update the binary and then reboot, which runs smoothly. However, once I try to run Adaway, it gives me an error. Also, when I try uninstalling some apps through Titanium Backup Pro version, the app remains even after a reboot. And before anyone asks, yes, I did install BusyBox before launching both apps. Tell me what I need to do to resolve this. Perhaps TWRP is not flashing SuperSU correctly? I am not sure. Just thinking out loud.

I'm sorry if I'm taking your post out of context, my apologies if I screw up:
Does that means you already solved your bootloop issue or am I confusing the time stamps with this post and your bootloop post?
If you are past the bootloop, would you be so kind to explain what was wrong and how you fixed it? By updating your bootloop post!!
See, we can't be running around trying to please you, solving you issues because you are frenetically trying to root your phone (no offense intended), that's not how things works. Would you please be courteous and at least update your bootloop post, you did not reply a single time in there and there was people definitely trying to help.

Wow, weird. The phone *thinks* it's rooted. But it definitely is not.
Edit: Actually, I think it is rooted, but nothing persists after a reboot. I can get into /data/data and all the good spots.
But changing DPI/emojis doesn't take.
Someday, in android 4.4.2, i had exactly your problem.
I used kingroot, (chinese characters in su), only i done to fix, was change the kinguser, to superSu pro and ENGLISH CHARACTERS
Weird noh?
You can edit the flashable update.zip with winrar X86, or peazip X86, (ONLY) without extract the content, only you open the zip, and select the files , delete, and swipe the new files with mouse for recopy the zip architecture, ALL WITHOUT EXTRACTING (this is 100% that the zip file will not corrupt)
Much weird!
I learned this by practical facts...
Hehe

You're completely correct. My apologies. I was simply busy at work. Anyway, I just replied to my original thread regarding my bootloop issue. Sorry again.

that alone can only be pull having root + rebooting , maybe is something else???
P.S. i change the DPI using the following command NO REBOOT Require :
Code:
adb shell wm density 560
or Download the Terminal from Play Store and do
Code:
wm density 560
it will stick at boot, but there's some app that look pretty weird and the Bell/Notification at lock screen is huge LoL and yeah modifying Build.prop for some reason doesn't take place after boot.
I actually wanted to change dpi using textdroider specifically to test changes persisting after a reboot, which they didn't!

Hey sorry man, I've been really bothered trying to be everyone's dad around, that's not right, sorry about that.
I really appreciate you posted your method and that you actually provide the working flashable zip, you might help someone get a jumpstart right?

yeah for some reason doesn't stick at boot using/modifying build.prop, only way is using either the Terminal or ADB , which instant no reboot and if you reboot will stick.

It's all good. No hard feelings. I'm just focused now on trying to find a stable SuperSU build that will allow root for Adaway and Titanium Backup. Just waiting for DrakenFX and Unjustified Dev to fix this.
