I have cat s40 met 5.1 Lollipop. This Smartphone is success rooted by rootking.
I want have Xposed on that phone, but when i fail mod that phone how i recover back it?
Caterpillar don't released PC suite like "Samsung Smart Switch" or "Odin". Is any alternative for flash cat s40?
I don't saw any Stock ROM in internet for that phone and i don't found source code for that phone.
I don't found TWRP for that phone is released for it?
Caterpillar s40 is compatible to Xposed? someone have Xposed on that phone?
I search too good program for backup NAND and recovery before try install custom recovery.

Source Code S40 + Recovery Mode
Source code cat s40
http://www.catphones.com/en-gb/legal/general-terms-and-conditions
but we don't have access to file for now lol
Cat S40 Source Code
but Cat B15Q can download normally.
Cat B15Q Source Code
i found too how enter Recovery Mode maybe isn't it CWM or TWRP but better that than nothing
1. PowerOff phone
2. Connect USB cable to phone
3. Press and hold the Vol +
4. Connect USB cable to PC or Power Supply
5. Recovery Mode!
I hope after we can download source code someone can make TWRP of custom ROM for us ;]

Cat s40 SuperSU + Xposed
I have SUCCESS ROOT + SuperSU + Xposed on my Cat s40 :]
1. Kingroot root
2. install "SuperSU_v2.65.apk" ( i installed it by Lucky Patcher as System app)
3. Reboot
4. use script "switch_armv7.sh" i added script i found that on XDA forum but i don't remember where.
If script don't work you can try again gain root by kingroot and in SuperSU update supersu binary ( SuperSU can detect Kingroot so you must uninstall it) This script worked for my Cat s40 fine.
5. After script install new binary in SuperSU app
6. SuperSU succes!
7. FlashFire flash Xposed Binary ( i added too Xposed binary)
7. Reboot ( boot is longer than normal)
8. You have SuperSU root and Xposed Framawork on your Cat s40
You can too by FlashFire make backup your system partition and use it in TWRP if someone do it for us... or flash it after gain SuperSU root ( FlashFire on Kingroot don't working)
You do it at your own risk!
First i tried that method on myPhone Infinity LTE ( i can that flash by computer when it bricked )
I think it can work on all Android 5.1 lollipop.

Wirusx, thanks for the feedback.
Can i get more detail and confirmation :
First use kingroot 4.9.3 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
After that it's rooted, and then you install the script in supersubinary.rar . But can you explain in detail to put what file where on the S40, or do we only need to install the superuser.apk file?
Is xposed framework nessesary found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
How about use uptodate kingroot and after that supersumepro ?

Rooted Cat S40 running 5.1 Lollipop
After several attempts and reboots all ok. Caterpillar Cat S40 running Lollipop 5.1 working fine.
1st thanks to all devs. (VickyB, MrW0lf, Chainfire etc). :good:
Then. My attempt consisted from pointers or several threads. Started with Wirusx and got something else from somewhere else. I try getting a whole picture here.
(I did not look for fresh look, but better battery consuption, better security and such. So no new roms etc needed. Cat is quite plain and sleek anyway.)
Basically it was of Wirusx instructions, but with some tweaks as apparently at this stage some update has tightened Cat OS that fewer exploits work.
Several files has be in phone (internal storage worked for me, sdcard not). One app from Gplay (Terminal Emulator) and ->
see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/replace-kingroot-supersu-t3339950
1. Kingoroot - 2. Reboot - 3. Run Script (which will give you also SuperUser app). - 4. Reeboot - 5. Updated Superuser and another reboot.
- Done.
There were some moments when not all ok. After 3, verified through Emulator who is "in charge". "su -v" in same directory as you ran the original script. Showed SuperUser 2.65, so all ok. But apps listed listed KingoRoot/Purify. But not SuperUser, although the root was through it. I had to download it again via Play. After 5 all ok "in Wonderland".
Some pointers from unknown threads (which I failed to find again). Apparently the situation was like the following exerpt shows.
"It seems that the script doesn't work the same way on every device. For me, it just deleted Kingroot,
and left me with just a temporary root terminal, . SuperSU was never launched nor installed,
and when I installed it I got a "There are no su binaries installed".
I did the following to install SuperSU:
1. Run the script for your proper architecture.
2. If it doesn't launch SuperSU at the end or even worse, if you install it but get the
" no su binaries", DON'T close the last root terminal.
3. Run
su -v
If it returns something like SUPERSU-2.65 you're good to go. If it doesn't,
re-run the script again in order to push the proper su binary again.
4. Go to the terminal and type:
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 7777 /system/xbin/su
chmod 7777 /system/xbin/daemonsu
Note: at this point SuperSU will start to work, even if you didn't update its binaries.
4. Open SuperSU. It'll ask you to update its binaries, press yes.
5. Since it's highly advised to have SuperSU in /system in order to preserve root access
through updates, you just gotta move the SuperSU.apk included in the zip to /system /app and
chmod it with 0755 permissions.
I downloaded SuperSu from Play and it worked.

Rooted Cat S40 firmware update
Hi!
Is it possible (ad if yes, how) to update the firmware of a rooted Cat S40. My rooting process was the previously mentioned Kingroot -> SU, but after this the OTA update does't finish, even with FlashFire.

After a bit of a struggle I managed to get this installed and working last night
A few things I noticed:
1) It may have been previously unlocked by the ebay seller I got it from. The official unlocker I got from http://en.miui.com/unlock/ (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-10-0-10-1-10-2-stable-release.47170/ has other details) had issues, finally got it, at one point in time, to say unlocked even though all 3 steps didn't have any checkboxes next to them... Strange, but I finally looked at the fastboot_unlock binary that came with the unlocker exe, and that indicated it was unlocked.
2) I found 3 different TWRP to try and install, with 2 of them (I _think_ the one linked here, and the one linked at the EU community thread above) kept giving me "too large to transfer". I finally got the one linked above by the following process:
start powered off
hold power + vol down to get to Fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot -s <DEVICE ID> flash recovery recovery.img
At this point, the screen went black except for at the upper right it said "press any button to power off", and fastboot exe is saying "waiting for <DEVICE ID>"
press a button, device powers off, leave it connected to the computer
hold power + vol down to get to Fastboot, fastboot exe should see the device and now do it's thing to send/flash the recovery.img
after fastboot finishes, do fastboot boot recovery.img
should now boot to TWRP, should be able to tap a button/screen to get into it
3) I also found I needed to perform a device wipe/reset from within TWRP before copying the LOS and OpenGAPPs zip files over. First time I tried it without wiping it had some weird install/configuration left and caused major issues upon booting LOS. Seemed to think it wasn't a fresh install, and had most of the apps keep crashing and restarting.

Please tell me Is the problem of changed mac address occuring with gsi roms or it is also there with normal flashable zip roms
Can it be repaired by flashing fastboot rom with mi flash tool?

hey,
Can someone tell me what kind of processor mi pad 4 plus is using?
ARM, ARM64, or x86

You heard about search engines? --> https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_pad_4_plus-9295.php

Hi Tom.
On one of your screenshots the lock screen says “charging rapidly”. I thought the pad 4 plus doesn’t support this function. Is it now possible with this version of LineageOS?

Try LOS 17 Android 10

@tom.android:
I tried LOS 17, but it was not running well on my Pad 4 Plus.
So I switched to this one here and LOS 16 so far runs well.
Though I have a problem with auto brightness which is not working properly. Once activated it doesnt have any effect and from time to time it just lowers brightness to the lowest point.
From your LOS 17 post I grabbed the auto brightness fix and flashed it, but it didnt work for LOS 16. Is there another fix you know about?

Also from time to time the tablet wakes up without me using it and not going to sleep again. This results into the device being display on all night long. Really annoying

Thanks! I haven't used Windows since the late 90s and every time I try what you're suggesting I have a horrible time. It's not worth any amount of effort to have Windows for running this one application that does something ultimately resulting in Malware. That is to say running this program is analogous to running an application that, I not only don't have the source too, but indeed can't even explain what it does. That's the vary definition of malicious software, running software that has no explainable purpose.

It piss me off why every nubia TWRP is a .exe can you just install it yourself and make a backup of your recovery partition and send us the img ?
its here ***
[Mod Edit] Download link removed due to GPL incompliance

GPL Violation.
This program is obviously linked with a compiled image of TWRP, witch is GPL. The exe is encrypted, a form of UPX. Regardless it's against copyright to distribute without source.

Looks like a boot image, but triggers the same error on my device. From another thread we are discussing the differences of V1.x(NON-EU) and phones from the EU that are V2.x. The images I've found and have been using are V2.x and the phone is from US Amazon, not that you can't purchase EU phones from there. It's unknown what version my phone is.
I've been pointing out everywhere the GPL violations and that also applies here.

Tell me if I'm wrong but the only difference beteween eu and non-eu are the radio frequency and maybe some minor adjustement that don't affect the way TWRP work, and the only difference between 1.x and 2.x are the system update it also don't affect the way TWRP need to be compiled except for the included magisk install ect in the advanced tabs that Scarlet-glass added
If you want to have your own clean version you can always compile TWRP yourself to not deal with a GPL issue (Isn't it the GNU Free software license ?) Scarlet-glass released the device tree
UPX is a compression algorithm lol, to check if its obfuscated run Detect-it-Easy on it, I did and its not obfuscated take a look at my binwalk output
https://pastebin.com/7Ut6E5Zz
The executable maybe came from the person that make the "Global" ROM for all the aliexpress seller by removing the chinese app and installing google, they left their "weibo VIP channel" in /etc on the system part but I don't know how to join.
So anyway I doubt they copyrighted their TWRP image and its normal that the recovery image appear as a boot image because it is one lol

Apparently this device is not the same for EU users as America or China, that is to say one model for EU and another model for NON-EU(presumably China, India, Japan, Canada, US, ect). I was using V2.x(EU) files, but my phone is V1.x(NON-EU). The major version numbers are more like part of the model number than like a version indicator. Here is the full dump where I got the boot and recovery images, it's 2.2GB compressed

Have also tried to install img.
Have typed in "adb reboot bootloader" in command window, and the phone reboot.
But when typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", it get stuck on "waiting for device".
Anyone have the correct USB driver?
Or is the problem windows 10?
Btw, USb debugging is on, and OEM unlocking is on.
Ui is CNCommon_V2.17.
The China special with no update function, beside update by usb-c OTG, wich don't work.

Why can not create backup from TWRP, both to the internal memory and to the flash card via OTG, writes an error.

please can you improve twrp for android 11 this way

I can't. I'm not a developer. The information above was done by someone else before the forum was created. I only copied the content over.
This phone has almost no support unless you are using the Chinese version. Nubia does not care about the global market as they make enough money selling phones within China in my opinion.

I tried to reinstall the standard ROM back, it loads the nubia logo and then shows the warning “Device is corrupted. It can't be trusted and won't boot.

does it affect the fingerprint?
is it safe?

this process works to solve cts Profile check, but banking apps still doesn't work

Doesn't work for me.
I used:
Google Pixel XL (Android 10)
Magisk 20.4
Magisk Manager 7.5.1
Edit: Enable "Magisk Hide" in the Settings -> reboot -> now it works.

Doesn't work for me either.
Pixel 4
It didn't give me an option to select an Android version.

I managed to make banking apps to work by disabling usb debugging.

I did exactly as it described above but still ctsprofile: false. Google pay sees root on my Poco F2 Pro.

Unfortunately does not work for Google Pixel 4 XL (Android 10)

For everyone that's struggling with trying to pass CTS:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Unlocked_bootloader_3

Google seemed to do something, i.e. Google Pay has been working for a long time. But when I was sleeping, Google sneaked in to my bedroom and made so that ctsProfile returned false in Magisk when I wake up.
A new unknown and uninvented method needs to be done? A Magisk update?

Ha!
I concur!

did the whole process with my Mi A3 with Android 10 and my device is stuck on Mi logo. how to fix?

Interesting. Woke up jul 8th as well with as notification that Google pay cannot be used any more. Seems like they flipped a switch.... I tried unroofing until I realized I had to do a factory reset to relock the bootloader. So back on root without Google pay. I hope for a quick solution though

Heh...
I have tried this method. It was suprising that Mi 10 is not on the props list...
The best thing in my phone is that the CTS is false (for - as I can remember - three weeks) but GP payements work.

Banking apps not working even though hided in the magisk. Any fix for it?

Not working with Magisk 20.4

Try disabling usb debugging and/or magisk hidding

How To Guide Root POCO M3 Pro 5G yourself and optionnal Debloat/Privacy.

Hello !
Its for root POCO M3 Pro 5G ( Camellia M2103K19PG MT6833 ) with success.
With any miui rom of your choice but you had to download the rom in question which corresponds to your phone to patch the correct version of the boot.img corresponding to it.
I post this, the main line to proceed because I wanted to do it as much as possible myself.
I made a video with this same procedure in description :
All you need Phone/Magisk/Miunlock/Miflash/Fastboot and miui "fastboot update" image
The steps that I did:
Unlock
https://c.mi.com/thread-2740493-1-0.html
Wait a week!
During this waiting time I advise you not to go to the developer option relating to the Mi account, try the unlock once, you have the timer like 7 days, and now leave the phone off, and you give it an appointment in 7 days.
Download "fastboot update" corresponding your phone country.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
For example Eu / eea global : https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.10....EUXM_20210809.0000.00_11.0_eea_3a153481fd.tgz
Extract with 7zip for exemple to get folder with files like this inside:
images
build_all.sh
flash_all.bat
flash_all.sh
....
Put phone in fastboot mode (vol-down+power)
Flash this rom using MiFlash https://cdn.alsgp0.fds.api.mi-img.com/micomm/MiFlash2020-3-14-0.rar
!!Before click on flash!! :
Don't not lose your unlock. On miflash check "cleanall" and not "cleanall and lock"
At the end an error occurs it's normal that we don't want to lock the bootloader.
(Check the "log" folder on Miflash folder to be sure all is fine)
When done install Magisk on the phone.
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v22.1/Magisk-v22.1.apk
Save from previously original extracted miui rom archive, boot.img and vbmeta.img
Put boot.img on phone storage.
Open Magisk click install and patch manually boot.img with “Select and patch a file” (If you don't have this option connect phone to network)
Now you have on "Download" folder a file named magisk_patched......img
Save back the patched boot.img to your computer rename like bootpatch.img
Put phone in fastboot mode.
Flash using platform-tools https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows.zip
Put bootpatch.img and vbmeta.img on fastboot.exe folder.
On fastboot folder type cmd in the address bar and press return.
Now flash original vbmeta.img like this to disable android verified boot (AVB):
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
And flash patched boot.img (bootpatch.img) like this:
fastboot flash boot_a bootpatch.img
fastboot flash boot_b bootpatch.img
Reboot.
fastboot reboot
Open magisk and check if its good.
And there he is rooted. Your turn to do it !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optionally:
For better lightness and privacy on Miui 12:
Install afwall to control which apps have network access.
GitHub - ukanth/afwall: AFWall+ (Android Firewall +) - iptables based firewall for Android
AFWall+ (Android Firewall +) - iptables based firewall for Android - GitHub - ukanth/afwall: AFWall+ (Android Firewall +) - iptables based firewall for Android
github.com
Removing unwanted app.
But many others are grayed and impossible to remove from the ui
You can do it by enabling usb debugging on developer option
Connect phone and with ADB type:
adb shell
su
Accept magisk root request.
Now you can remove app like this exemple:
pm disable com.miui.micloudsync (to disable app)
pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.micloudsync (to uninstall app)
pm clear com.miui.micloudsync (to clear app data)
"pm uninstall --user 0" and "pm clear" Is sufficient to remove the app.
The list you can remove without significative problem:
com.google.android.apps.subscriptions.red
com.google.android.youtube
com.xiaomi.miplay_client
com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
com.milink.service
com.xiaomi.account
com.miui.msa.global
com.xiaomi.payment
com.miui.micloudsync
com.miui.daemon
com.google.android.gm
com.google.android.setupwizard
com.facebook.services
com.android.printspooler
com.miui.cloudbackup
com.xiaomi.upnp
com.google.android.tts
com.xiaomi.mipicks
com.xiaomi.joyose
com.google.android.printservice.recommendation
com.xiaomi.midrop
com.miui.cloudservice
com.miui.cloudservice.sysbase
com.facebook.system
com.miui.analytics
com.miui.yellowpage
com.facebook.appmanager
com.xiaomi.discover
com.mipay.wallet.in
com.miui.fmservice
com.xiaomi.finddevice
!!Don't remove com.xiaomi.finddevice or your device bootloop.
And do not remove com.facebook.... if you using facebook for example....
To check network activity use a terminal emulator or adb shell and type:
su
netstat -t -u -p
(That display network list about active connection, udp, tcp, port, app name)
Best Regards.

lol are you serious? did you have a look in the forum? is at least 2 months we do have the root and working procedure:
root gained Poco m3 pro

Yes I see, I did this to make it more detailed, and maybe more secure, starting from a xiaomi rom and without pushing .img from unknown sources, moreover to deactivate the AVB. original vbmeta is sufficient with the option --disable-verity --disable-verification why propose another one vbmeta.img ... I hear well, I do this to help people see more clear,to avoid any inconvenience, so as not to brick the phone. Sorry if I could deeply hurt you in your pride. If it poses a serious and dramatic problem, see apocalyptic, tell me.

Magisk v24.1 confirmed to work following this guide. You just need to enable install the universal safetynet fix for zygisk and enable denylist within the app.

I just test this tool while I turn back to MIUI as i did not find the GSI ROM I wanted.
I install OpenJDK (because i did not have any java version installed) and launch it from a dos windows as administrator (with "X:\blablabla\jdk\bin\java.exe" -jar X:\XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar command ) and it seems to do the job.
Still see some apps that it did not see, but quite good and easy

if someone is interested, i can share with some new miui13 magisks modules super cools! example... MIUI13 MONET ENGINE
tell me, if you are interested, i will shares in a new thread
