[xt862] .906 1-click-sbf.exe + tools updated [3/31/2013]

YOU MUST BE ON .906 OTA TO USE THIS
**If you are on .890 ota please download and use this file>>D3.SBF.890.ZIP (flash via rsdlite)**
UPDATED THE 1 CLICK SBF EXE TO THE OFFICIAL .906 SBF
now you can restore you D3 to factory .906
I created a 1-click-sbf.exe to make flashing as simple as possible.
The exe when ran will extract files to a temp dir (if needed)
to make it easy for you to delete manually or most window cleaners will clean the temp folder.
thus you don't have to have that much room taken up on your hard drive all the time..
when you start the exe it will check the temp folder to see if the files still remain..
if they do it will not need to extract the files thus starting much quicker!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE

Give her a whirl and see lol I always use rsd

Thanks for the files!

I'm still waiting for someone to get this to work with RSD. I threw this patch files together and zipped them, but never tried them because I really didn't want to risk anything with a working phone. I'm glad someone has tried it at least with moto-fastboot.
Never tried my own product! :O

Woo! User "jth08527" confirmed the .zip above works as is in RSD Lite 5.6. He sent me a PM confirming it because he doesn't yet have enough posts to post here.

They are in a 7zip file instead of a .zip or winrar
all you have to do is use 7zip (which is freethe softwear) to extract the files then load the. Xml file into rsdlite and flash
And minus has been having problems the last few days but it is one of the better free hosting sites so just be patient and it will come back..also I would suggest using your computer to download the file as alot of mobile browsers have problems with this site

ha, that's too simple didn't know that RSD can use the xml-files. thanks...I'll keep you posted.
edit: I think it worked, got the same baseband and buildnumber as in 890, but the 906 kernel. i guess thats ok?!?

Someone should make it so it works like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336980
Looking at the files it looks like it should work if you just copy&replace the files into the "files" folder?

Wish I was at home because in theory that should work perfect and now we would have a 1click .906 sbf which could also be made into a single .exe sbf

I just copied the files over, but all of them except the .xml are exactly the same.
So.. is this a .890 SBF that works on .906? Or did I miss something

Can' t Flash
Every time I try to flash the Optus AU reset onto my VODAPHONE AU M7, it either gets stuck at 10% if i do it with a full wipe, or 0% if I don't. Also, it never passes and MD5 verification, after multiple separate downloads.
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks.

Extract any of old reset Rom zip
Replace files and folders from New one
Now edit aroma script in meta-inf folderwith notepad +
Edit details Rom version radio version etc

If you want to use windows instead of linux, you can extract twrp backup using cygwin. All you need to do is to rename your backup files adding .tar extension then extract them using cygwin
Code:
tar -xvf your_file_name.ext4.win.tar
eg. If you want to extract system.ext4.win000, system.ext4.win001 and data.ext4.win, rename them system.ext4.win000.tar, system.ext4.win001.tar and data.ext4.win.tar. Move the system backup files to C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\System and data backup to C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\Data
open a cygwin command prompt and change directory to the correct location:
Code:
cd C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\System
then in cygwin command prompt:
Code:
tar -xvf system.ext4.win000.tar
tar -xvf system.ext4.win001.tar
Code:
cd C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\Data
tar -xvf data.ext4.win.tar
Then you have 2 folders, One System folder and one Data folder you can use to make you reset rom.

Thanks Mate.
I will try on Ubuntu first as I use that about 90%of the time. I'll reply with results hopefully tomorrow! Excited to make my own easy reset with aroma.

Had to unlock bootloader via HTC token when my phone is S-Off...
My HTC M7 UL (PID)PNO7400, was rooted and later S-Off with fire water.
I had custom rom and recovery ect. After 6 months of this I wanted to update my firmware but for various reasons didn't want to do it via RUU so I found and used crushalots Easy Recovery Reset Tool.
This worked perfectly.
During the aroma install I chose NOT to install any firmware, just stock recovery and rom.
I also chose not to keep root as I believed that I may not be able to install OTA updates with rooted stock. (right or wrong?)
Immediately after everything was installed I was running stock 2.24.980.2 rom and recovery on 4.20.980.x firmware.
After relocking my bootloader via fastboot, there was no issues, my phone just downloaded several OTA in a row, installed each without a hitch, and about an hour and a half later I had a stock phone with the latest 6.11.980.12 firmware and software, with S-Off.
(BTW re locking the bootloader did not delete any of my data.)
As soon as this was finished I wanted to re install my beloved eragon rom, re gain root, and get my phone back the way it was pre the firmware update.
Having S-Off I thought this would be easy (fastboot flash recovery path/to/custom/recovery.img)
Didn't work.
Unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of the error message I got in terminal, however, I didnt have write permissions on that particular partition. (apologies to anyone trying to help as I know details are important here)
This stumped me, as I have rooted 3 other (older) HTC desire by getting S-Off then flashing custom recovery.img, (These phones were running 1.44 version of fastboot as opposed to my M7s 1.57) I tried to un lock the bootloader via fastboot commands just in case that worked post S-Off ie (fastboot oem unlock) but that didn't work. Firewater doesn't install its own bootloader so locking and unlocking via the s-off tool were not an option either.
I had to re apply to HTC for an unlock token and flash that before I could flash a custom recovery. I plan go back to stock again for the purposes of taking carrier OTA when my carrier starts updating with Android L, so would like to know if this is normal, if not how I possibly stuffed up.
Can any one explain why I had to unlock bootloader via HTC site when my phone is S-Off?
I'm interested in peoples thoughts/knowledge
Many thanks

Hi Mate.
Thanks again. A little help needed.
When extracting the .rar from the TWRP recovery I made, using terminal command line [7z x /path/to/some.rar] in ubuntu i get 4300 of this type of error
can not open output file system/bin/mkswap
can not open output file system/bin/mkswap
can not open output file system/bin/readlink...ect
Basically at the end I get a system folder with about 3 items in it, as 7zip .rar tool cant decompress most of the files from the .rar
Right clicking on system.ext4.win.000 and system.ext4.win001 and selecting 'Extract files here' or 'open archive' results in error "could not open 'xx'. Archive type not supported."
Are you able to give me more detailed instructions on how to extract/unpack the system.ext4.win.000 and system.ext4.win001
Do I need to change the file name before extracting ?
Extracting the files from crushalots tool and extracting the files from the new TWRP then replacing relevant files and changing the manifest to reflect said change in Easy Recovery tool seems quite simple, however Im having trouble just extracting the files....
Im missing something obvious.
Thanks.

For anyone else following this thread atm I solved the problem by re naming the system file extension in TWRP recovery from . win to . tar. In some TWRP back ups there were 2 system folders. A system.4ext000.win and system. 4ext001.win I just merged them during the extraction process.
Also there was no Data/preloaded folder in crushalots reset tool or in any twrp backup I have made.
Haven't tested the modified reset tool yet but will let u all know if I did it correctly!

Without /data/preload, your reset rom will not be ota update ready. You don't have /data/preload in your backup probably because you have unlocked the bootloader and did the nandroid backup after (unlocking bootloader erase /data/preload)

In Ubuntu install 7zip software
don't rename anything just open with archive manager
system.4ext000.win open this
crushalot tool not have data/preload because most of tool was 3.xx version sense 5.5 that time preload files included in system folder

I already have 7zip installed, However there is no option in archive manager to extract anything with it. After cd to file location I can view the . win file in terminal using [7z l file. win] but the [7z x file.win - d folder/i-want/extracted/to] command outputs the same error as stated in above post.
Q1) That aside the last step in this whole process is to zip it all up again as a . zip, so I'll be changing the file extension anyway, so does it matter if I change the file extension from . win to .tar for the purposes of extracting? If so ease explain why.
Q2) the ONLY place I have found a data/preload folder is inside a firmware .zip extracted from an OTA. It's definitely not in any TWRP back up. Did you leave that detail out of your initial instructions? Can you please tell me where to get the /preload folder from if not from the same OTA the recovery.img comes from.
Q3) do I put the data/preload folder inside the system folder of the reset tool or have it separate, along with radio.img, boot. img, recovery.img and aroma files ect.
Thanks for your time.

I replied to the other post before yours came up. Forgive me if I ask similar questions.
I'm assuming I just copy the /preload folder from the same OTA I get the radio and recovery. img from.
Do I put the /preload folder inside any other folder within reset tool for a 6.xx version or have it beside the system folder and .img files.
Regards and Thanks.

It should work. The data/preload folder from an ota zip usually (afaik this is true for the dev edition version) include all /data/preload files. If its the same thing for your version then you should be fine. In /data/preload you should have these files:
YOUR_CID.XML
All the weather animations (mp4 files)
some .png files for photo editing
htc preloaded app like flashlight.apk and calculator.apk. You might have more app depending your version.

the folder must be in your_reset_rom.zip/data/preload

It should work. The data/preload folder from an ota zip usually (afaik this is true for the dev edition version) include all /data/preload files. If its the same thing for your version then you should be fine. In /data/preload you should have these files:
YOUR_CID.XML
All the weather animations (mp4 files)
some .png files for photo editing
htc preloaded app like flashlight.apk and calculator.apk. You might have more app depending your version.
the folder must be in your_reset_rom.zip/data/preload

Thanks for your excellent and timely reply.
More Qs.
I now have all folders as per your above post. I have taken data/preload, boot.img radio.img and recovery.img straight from OTA. 6.11.980.10
However my stock nand was of 6.11.980.12.
Q1) So do you know if having a system folder derived from a slightly newer version work? As far as I know the .12 OTA was a patch for the 'no voice during call' bug. OTA. 6.11.xxx. 12 did not contain a radio.img AND I can't get a data/preload folder for that ota as I can only find a 6.11.xxx.12 firmware. Not the whole OTA, which is why I reverted to making a . 980.10 reset tool despite having a slightly newer NAND.
Q2) I have edited the updater script in META-INF to reflect new radio and Android version ect. Do I need to update the MANIFEST. MF?
Hope that was clear enough to understand.
A big THANKS for your Help and time!

Scalles app from the Chinese ROM C00B144

I was flashing a couple of ROMS yesterday while unbricking my MateS. The C00B144 Chinese ROM as the scales app and it works well on my 64GB Mate S. I can access the scales setting pages using a short cut creator but the app itself is missing from my C470*** ROM version.
Does anyone have the ability to extract the APK and send me a link to download it please? I am sure other would appreciate it and it will prove once and for all that all Mate S Phones have the ability to use them.
Much appreciated to whoever can get this app extracted for me.

That APP is mostly useless

Thats the one. Many thanks. I know it has little use but people just dont believe a phone can weigh things.

Big thanks for sharing.
It works but it is very inaccurate!
I place an apple and it showed 360grams. I used kitchen scale (the one for making food) and it showed 220grams
Anyway, it is fun to see it in action

use ext4_unpacker

You can use "HuaweiFirmwareExtractor.exe" for extracting Huawei Update.app , when you have extract it you can use 7zip or other Tools.
When it don't work write me a pm and I look what I use for that on my pc.
What do you want make?
I must look , you can do a system Backup from system only via adb but here I must look what you must do in Terminal.

Need System Folder of latest firmware

hello! I had a request for anyone running stock odexed firmware (.291)
Can you pull the system folder for that version and upload it for me? Thanks!
Edit: with odex files pls!
P.s. I need the untouched version without root. Thanks!

HERE are stock ftf firmwares. Choose one and download it.
Rename *.ftf to *.zip and extract a file system.sin using 7zip.
Open Flashtool, use function "Sin Editor" to convert system.sin -> system.ext4. Then use this to "save" /system folder.
There are some files *.sqsh that contain .odex files. this sqsh file link to odex file of the app. Use 7zip 16.04 to extract *.sqsh file, you will see odex files
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------
Eg: odex.app.sqsh contains all odex of /app folder.
Extract sqsh file and copy odex file to folder (ex: copy AnonymousData.odex to /app/AnonymousData/oat/arm/, then you have stock AnonymousData apk with odex file . )

Thank you so much! I am learning to deodex my ROM myself.
I will try it this weekend.
But aren't the odex files generated when you run android the first time?
This is wierd
EDIT: I downloaded the ftf from flash
tool and expanded it. I do not see any files *.sqsh files in any folders . Just empty

I dont know this much. But odex files arent generated in system partition. They create odex file in system partition for faster first time bootup maybe.

You need to extract system.sin and convert to system.ext4 first . the sqsh file must be in system partition.

Ok thanks. I'll try once i get home

I checked it already.
Hope this can help you .
If you want to fully deodex your system, there are 2 more sqsh files. /system/etc/product/ and /system/etc/customizations/.
and there are 2 more odexed app with odex file: /system/vendor/app/ims/ & /system/vendor/app/ChromeCustomizations/
-----------------
There are symlinks between /system/$app/*app_name*/oat/arm/ and odex.$apk.sqsh/arm/*app_name*.odex
So the odex file show in folder is a shortcut from sqsh file. Sony made this

For ALP-L29C636
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fh9cpipxjp2k6ud/L29C636_data.tgz?dl=0
Move file to phone, use file explorer to move file to /data or use mv command below
using terminal: (Terminal emulator or your choice from the play store)
su
mv /sdcard/L29C636_data.tgz /data/
cd /data/
tar zxvf L29C636_data.tgz
This will install both the HW data and public data.

Try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74692542&postcount=8 (only themes)
Or the one I posted above
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75146353&postcount=7 (full hw/public data, not tested but should work.)

this is my solution ( made by me ) after trying many solutions over this forum @ other forums
just
1- delete any folder for themes u made (as hw_init or themes in root folder or at any site )
2- make folder & name it ( HWTHemes ) in internal memory
3- download this folder & put it inside (HWTHemes )
4- go to themes app and chose ** Aqua theme ** & apply it
5- no need to change any permissions
this was try on huawei y 7 2017

Hey, i have the problem that i relocked bootloader and uninstalled all root related things since i didnt use it anymore. Is there a way to make the Themes working again?

Easier way:
Flash ALP test twrp from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904 (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_alp_test_0.1.img)
Download Public and HW zip from hwmt (http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/)
Search for your full firmware including build (ALP-L29C185Bxxx)
In the FullOTA row click on the "file list" link, copy and paste link for update_data_full_public.zip and HW data for L29 into a new browser tab so it downloads.
Boot to TWRP and flash public zip first then HW data zip.
They will throw some errors but flash fine.
