FXP125 CM9 for XPERIA X10 Download Structure - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good evening!
I have been trying to give FreeXperia another chance after over a year, but I can't figure out where in the package is the ROM itself.
I downloaded the file FXP125-cm-9-20120616-UNOFFICIAL-es209ra-KERNEL.7z per the instructions on the development forum. This archive contains the following files:
Code:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jp jp 152 juin 16 07:49 config.properties

drwx------ 8 jp jp 4096 juin 16 07:48 x10flasher_lib
Based on my previous ROM experience, there should be a .zip file in there to install from CWM or xRecovery. Looking for anything zip related in the archive yields the following result:
Code:
zip.exe
gzip.exe
ffjcext.zip
zipfs.jar
libzip.so
libzip.so
ffjcext.zip
zipfs.jar
zip.dll
ffjcext.zip
zipfs.jar
zip.dll
ffjcext.zip
zipfs.jar
I did find the kernel and was able to flash it and back to my Oodie 7.2 v3 kernel. That part is well covered. I also tried copying the whole archive to the phone and flash it from there, but it is not recognized.
Is there a different way to install this ROM?
Thanks!

The file is located in es209ra. Put that on your sd card

Doh! It makes so much sense. Thanks!
I did it successfully this time. However, the colors are crap, WiFi does not work and the mobile data does not work either. I guess I will have to wait for another couple of weeks before trying again...

here's the fiix for data bug:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22464715&postcount=561
for colour fix:
flash this in cwm : http://icxperia.com/championswimmer/x10-semc-es209ra/aokp/displayfix_FXP121_CM9_es209ra_CWM.zip

Thanks THElogiC! The colors are now OK. However, using the app to correct the APN issue is more difficult. I did find the .apk file on the developer website and copied it to my SD card. However, how can I install it? FXP125 does not come with a pre-installed file manager...
I am facing the same problem if I try to install a new file manager, and since I don't have data connectivity, I cannot install it from Google Play.
Is there any other way to install this .apk?
Thanks again!

UPDATE: I found this clever way of doing it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27511309&postcount=2
But it does not work either.
Code:
20/030/2012 21:30:30 - INFO - Installing ./custom/apps/HiAPN.apk
20/030/2012 21:30:30 - INFO - Installing ./custom/apps/Ghost Commander 1.41.1b5.apk

20/030/2012 21:30:41 - INFO - Device disconnected
And the apps still do not show in the drawer...
This is what I will be trying next:

There's a way you can install apps without using file manger but using browser.
I will post link soon

[REQ] Toshiba folio 100 BCT and partition dumps

I have somehow messed up my folio 100, and its BCT and bootloader information.
So im hoping someone else with little experience, knows how to use the nvflash utilities and dump the information for me and send me a link on where to get it.
the combo to get into bootloader mode is: POWER button pressed 4 times + VOL- key and it will go into bootloader mode.
I can extract these tomorrow evening.
Can you be clearer with the bootload sequence?
Tried to get the booload seq. Ended up with a partial reset of settings...

well, i dont think you should try it..!!
another user did, he ended up with a semi-bricked device too.. so thanks but now the fun stops.. it seems that Toshiba included a very,very bad key combo that terminates the device to a deadlocked machine..
so ill just figure out another way to get the partitions off it.. but my 4xpower + vol- is really scary, do NOT try it
at least until is cleared on how to get out of this bootloader state again.
I dumped the partitions which are visible from android already. Don't quite know what got resentment with your key sequence - DATA wiped? Some of the preloaded apps are broken now, but they were a bit broken before.

so you mean, you can extract all partitions from a shell?
ie. bootloader of partition2 and so forward?
i didnt notice that all 8 partitions were accessable there?
can you upload the dump of them somewhere?
A guy made the dumps of the ROM (not the recovery image though) on the forum of Frandroid DOT fr but I cannot post you the link directly here (anti spam as I do not have many messages on the forum).
I will PM you (if it allows me)

decided to get another one..
ok!
I was hoping you did it because I'm a little tired of android (apple fan ).
My idea was to build and flash linux (ubuntu 10.10 works on toshiba AC100).
But if there isn't a way to restore the factory default (bootloader, etc.), I'll give up.

when i was debugging bootloader configs, i was provided some config files that Ac100 users said would work on our folio, but i see now partition setup is very different, so we need to make proper configs for our folio before experimenting with the bootloader..
again, as you metion backup seems to do , when recover seems unavailable currently. it will be hard to verify if the parition table layout is working.
Hi,
sorry, maybe I missunderstood someting, but I cannot understand your problem in reading out the whole flash.
1. I have opened / disassembled my Filio 100. And like I have suspected there is a 16GB micoSD card connected (soldered) to the PCB and fixed with glue. One could read out the whole flash in a card reader.
2. You have fully access to the microSD card out of Android:

Hi DerArtem! Nice first post indeed!!!!
Thank you for your information.
A micro SD soldered is a nice gift from toshiba!!! This means upgrades, full dumps, etc.
Great
A request: could you please post some pictures?

did i write i had problem dumping the entire mmc device? not really.
Yes, you misunderstood,Writing a proper cfg file describing the different areas is required.. dumping is easy part, documenting is harder..
but feel free to contribute and document the .cfg file for bootloader, that is of course appreciated...
I just got back from my business trip, and finally had some more time to take a closer look at the device.

The device has a warranty seal inside. If you open the device completly the seal will break. I have just opened the device soo far, that the seal will not break. To make photos I will have to open it copletly. I will think about it....

Ok, I see. I have duped the mmc and mounted the partitions on my pc:
Here is the partition table on my PC:
Code:
[email protected] ~/bin/folio $ /sbin/fdisk -u -l folio.img
Platte folio.img: 15.9 GByte, 15920005120 Byte
1 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spur, 493551 Zylinder, zusammen 31093760 Sektoren
Einheiten = Sektoren von 1 × 512 = 512 Bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id System
folio.img1 2048 526335 262144 83 Linux (/system)
folio.img2 526336 2623487 1048576 83 Linux (/cache)
folio.img3 2623488 2627583 2048 83 Linux (/misc)
folio.img4 2627584 31093759 14233088 5 Erweiterte
folio.img5 2628608 2644991 8192 83 Linux (???)
folio.img6 2646016 4743167 1048576 83 Linux (/data)
folio.img7 4744192 4754431 5120 83 Linux (???)
folio.img8 4755456 31093759 13169152 83 Linux (13G - storage)
Now you can mount the partitions on your pc:
Code:
sudo mount -o loop,ro,offset=$((512*2048)) folio.img /mnt/floppy/
I was not able to find the kernel or the bootloader or the root partition in the dump. I have also checked it with a hex editor.
Is the Folio using an other storage for kernel and bootloder? Does it have more NOR/NAND flash inside?
While looking at the size of the microSD (15920005120 bytes) I think that the bootloader is hiding a part of the microSD from the OS where the kernel and the bootloader are...
Where is the .cfg file you are talking about located?

its a file assoiciated with the nvflash utility. search for the toshiba AC100 or here for more details for them it works fine.
the part 5 and 7 are boot kernel(8Mbyte) + recovery kernel(5Mbyte) , bootloader is as i know from ac100 on part0 , but thats not 100% yet.

So, I have checked part 5 and 7. The content is the same like in boot.img and recovery.img. So the BCT is somewhere else...

[Q] Dual Booting??

Is it possible to dual-boot on the Evo 3D? I have tried Boot Manager and it fails to download all the data and BootStrap won't work either...it says installed but does nothing beyond that
What do you mean that it failed to download all the data? I successfully used boat manager on my 3vo.
I did however have to get the paid version. For whatever reason, the free version wouldn't install.
Also, I know development stopped on boot manager awhile back. You can't install jellybean roms in the alternate rom slots; only as your main rom... Also, you can't install a rom that uses the aroma installer.
I'm looking into a new method of dual booting on the Evo 3d using kexec

Okay, I guess i'll have to get the paid version....i'll find an APK of it that way i don't "waste" money on something I may not keep or not like or I can't get to work. What I was wanting to do is have a Custom ROM as the Main ROM and a "Stock" ROM as the secondary one...that way I can use something like LiquidSmooth as primary and keep a "stock" ROM (or variant of it) for editing PRL and having Sense UI)
EDIT: I tried installing the Pro Version and it STILL throws up an "error downloading files" message
So is this after it's installed? When you're going through the setup?
Sorry, it's been awhile since I've gone through this... I never had any errors like that though.

Yes, it errors after the APK install, when it says "loading" up top....the bar moves to about halfway and then shoots to the end then it says error downloading files......
I wonder if they have issues with wherever the files are downloading from? I'll have to get on my evo tomorrow and see if I get the same issue. The app hasn't been supported for a pretty long time now, so it may just be that they didn't maintain something server side or whatever.
the pro version has win-init server check for key.

the free version should work

The free version may work for you. I should have clarified. The free version wouldn't install from the play store for me (for whatever reason) so I bought the pro version which installed.
Not that you are, but earlier I mentioned not being able to install a rom that uses aroma installer... That's only half true. You can't install the rom through rom manager, but if you install it normally and make a nandroid backup, you can then restore the backup to a rom slot in boot manager.
I retried, I've deleted the bootmanager folder from sdcard, need to backs of sdcard for files. Will post if I find,

the folder in the zip is for lite version, if you copy contents of com.drx2.bootmanager.lite to com.drx2.bootmanager then you should not need to download. I just used the lite version as to not pass licence key.

Jcfunk, what permissions does the folder have? It's possible that when he is pasting it in /data/data that the permissions aren't correct.
I assume they would need to be rw-r--r--
But I'm not 100% sure on that.

Help rooting a Coolpad Canvas 4g (locked to Cricket)/disable startup sound

I tried using kingo root, both on the phone and on the computer. I am not sure where to proceed from there. The main reason I want to root is to disable the startup sound, which does not get disabled automatically when I have my phone on mute. I tried using the sound disabler app from the play store, and it seems to not be working (the startup sound still plays).
Rooting Coolpad Canvas (Cricket)
Me too having same issue as well, tried kingoroot
And king-root some got to like 30%... need help rooting it as well.. and maybe twrp would be great
But possibly could flash twrp using the coolpad's
Note 3 twrp for it, because they both have same
Resolution and screen size i believe, so for the porting shouldn't be all that hard.. any advice
Would be great..

I just ordered a coolpad canvas its coming on Saturday. I was able to root my last phone (Alcatel Onetouch Flint) which had no official guides on how to root it (so i made a guide). I might be able to do the same thing with this phone ill let u guys know if im able to root it when it comes.

Awesome!.. you won't believe how good this phone is for the price it has pretty powerful specs for the price and screen size is a whopping 5.5 inch and HD, I got mine for 49.99 when it was available at walmart luckily they had 2 left in Stock the day I went and got one.. but yeah I been trying to root it with no luck , but I'm not that good at programming when it comes to phones hopefully we can get this one rooted at least if anything .. it definitely deserves it being decently powerful phone here's the specs on it.. : https://ibb.co/ehJjtQ
Guys I was able to pull over 70% of the system files from it.. but for some reason it stops at when trying to pull WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file for some reason-(said permission was denied)??..hmm.., I will post pic shortly..
Any luck Casey on it?.. so far nothing working for rooting it yet you may have better luck than me..

No luck yet I tried kingroot, kingo app, towelroot, framaroot and some others nothing works. Still searching for a better method
So apparently it's harder to root nougat cuz of this new security feature. I feel like one click methods not gonna work
Well I also noticed when doing command get ver all that it said secured eMMc with the little kernel bootloader I'm sure there are ways around this but its going to require some help with someone that has higher phone developing skills than of my own of course.. also try command while connected to computer "adb pull system" without the quotes it got to 72% for me before it wouldn't write no more still have the files for system if anyone needs them for rewriting or porting in the bootloader ..

Same here.. hmm , well if you or you can invite someone that maybe can port in or rewrite the little kernel bootloader to be unlocked, i have 72% of the system files.. still couldn't Figure out how to or where to extract the boot.img or recovery.img from?.. or the cache.img and the other .img files as well.. some of them or the .sh file in the system folder i extracted i believe may contain the answer?.. I'm sure for the rewriting of the bootloader but it's gonna require someone with better skills than of mine because i don't know how to rewrite little kernel bootloader image, but I'm sure for some this is a breeze though lol...
Oh almost forgot , from the building prop editor, i also managed to get the recovery key ID as well of someone knows how to port or rewrite the recovery.img, i know this will be of big help for sure this is the recovery key ID for the recovery image , i will post the pic of it shortly..

The mount points for where to pull the .img files from can't you find them by running cat /proc/mounts? These are the locations I got:
Interesting... so with these mount points I'm assuming we should be able to do something I'm sure of it considering the zte zmax pro which also is qualcomm snapdragon processor and also utilizing same procedure of sorts and they managed to make twrp for it and also root so I'm sure same here ...which they some how put it into diagnostic mode or called **DFU mode and it allowed them to flash after mounting points was made with Linux OS

Also we you could possibly use also called QPST tool for Windows allows flashing of qualcomm processors as well ...

So using the location I tried to use the dd command to pull system.img but it said permission denied looks like it requires root:
dd if=/dev/block/dm-0 of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img
dd: /dev/block/dm-0: Permission denied
1|cp3636a:/ $
Don't know a whole lot about development but I'm pretty comfortable with using the Android back end and I'd be willing to help any way I can if there's something I can do or provide. This is such a neat little phone and I think it has a lot of potential.
Picked a canvas up on sale at bestbuy as a back up.. I must say its a nice phone for the money...
Now I just have to wait for coolpad- cricket to release unlock codes so I can use overseas travel.

Here is a link to a TWRP build for the Redmi 4a, same exact internals as our phone. I mean the phones are exact all the way across the board. The best thing to do is to fastboot boot the .img first to see if it works 100%, and being on Nougat flash su systemless root. If it boots to TWRP from fastboot and you can flash su than we should be able to permanently flash TWRP from there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-0-0-xiaomi-redmi-4a-t3576024

From what you're describing it sounds like you didn't do it correctly. In the bootloader it should never ask you to sideload anything. The correct steps are, with the phone on and adb debugging enabled, adb devices, should show your connected to your phone, next adb reboot bootloader, phone will restart into a download type screen, next step, on PC type fastboot devices to see if the PC and phone are communicating correctly, next is to type fastboot boot recovery.img, if it boots into the TWRP we're good, sorry but I don't have a PC up and running right now. So all I can do is suggest and hope you guys can get it running.
Anyone check into this and the comment that's on it, don't know if it will help, but just maybe.

Don't do it, it's bull crap nothing but viruses. That srs spam link says they can root all phones, well if they could more devs on XDA would push it, but no it's a load of b.s.

Blackview BL8800 Pro rooting

ORIGINAL POST:
Hello,
this is almost a brand new phone, still no resources over the internet about how to root it.
Is anybody working on it?
Does anybody know a viable solution to effectively root BL8800 Pro without any damage?
Thanks

EXTRA: PROCEDURE TO RUN APPS THAT DENY EXECUTION WITH ROOTED PHONE​
Some sleazy apps (banking, ebay, etc.) check if you have rooted your phone and refuse to run/authenticate/etc.
This is how you can solve this, everything done from MAGISK:
activate Magisk Hide, in the "App" settings section - rename magisk app to whatever you like
activate Zygisk, in the "Magisk" setting section, then reboot
in the "Magisk" setting section, select the rogue apps you want to hide rooting from (e.g. ebay)
in Magisk modules section install "Shamiko" module downloaded from https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed.github.io/releases then reboot
in Magisk modules section install "Universal SafetyNet Fix" module downloaded from https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases then reboot
check in Magisk modules section that both modules are active and running
EXTRA: in order to check that safetynet fix is working, you may download "YASNAC" app from play store
ENJOY YOUR PHONE!!!
do you only want to root?
Keep in mind:
Rooting may void the manufacturer’s warranty on your device.
Rooting will block the firmware OTA updates.
Required Downloads:​1)Download ADB & Fastboot files
2)Blackview USB Drivers install on your pc
3)Download Other Drivers: Mediatek VCOM Drivers or MTK USB Drivers
4)Download And Install the SP Flash tool on your computer
5)Download the latest Blackview Stock ROM and move it to the PC
Download and extract the stock ROM to your PC.
You need to extract the boot image using the MTK Droid Tool
Attach your device via USB cable and copy only the boot.img file from the extracted folder to your device storage
Launch Magisk Manager. When a popup appears asking to install Magisk, select INSTALL and choose install again.
Tap on “Patch Boot Image File”.
Navigate to internal storage and select your phone’s boot image that you transferred earlier.
Wait for a couple of seconds. Magisk will start patching the boot image.
Once the boot image has been patched, copy the “patched_boot.img” from the internal storage and replace it in the same extracted ROM folder on your PC.
To flash stock rom whit the patched image follow this
Hi, thanks for your answer.
Do these tools also work on linux?
I saw that BL8800 Pro ROM is not available on the page, is there anyother source where I can download or some tool that can make a snapshot from the phone?
I saw that MTK Droid Tool looks like windows only but I am not worried... while the USB drivers are included in linux kernel? Here running ubuntu 22.04, thanks!
Update: I just obtained two firmare files, one maked EEA (likely for Europe) with date 2022-06-17 and another one marked NEU (likely NotEUrope) with date 2022-06-10, both subversion V02 directly from Blackview customer support. This is listing of EEA version:

Is this the correct overall filesystem suitable for modifying before flashing?
Thanks
One update: trying to feed scatter.xml file to SP Flash Tool gets the complaint that "MT68 platform not supported on this version" (it's MT6833) but versions following 5.1924 don't have the field for scatter.xml file....
SO at the moment I am stopped at full adb shell to the device, but nothing much more.
Btw, in order to avoid problems I am running tests from inside a W10 VM in vitualbox inside linux.

Hi.
Have you tried the Fastboot method?
I also go astray
I am looking for a way to root and I take risky actions. Perhaps I understand it all wrong, but...
I unlocked the bootloader using MTKClient. Then I wanted to create a scatter myself using MTK Droid Tool to get boot.img from the phone. Unfortunately, MTK Droid Tool did not support (I think) memory.
Would you share the boot.img file, please? I'd like to try the Fastboot method.
Thank you.
Hello
First of all, I didn't worry about unlocking bootloader as, pressing power+vol_up buttons when phone is off, already lets you enter to a factory stock bootloader with a menu an option of which can also apply patches, so it looks kinda "ready" without the need of injecting something via fastboot (which is, btw, also an option of that menu). I don't know if that applies for you too, I have a European "EEA" latest firmware version installed.
Second, as written in my previous mail, the tool didn't operate with MT68xx devices, so it couldn't therefore extract anything.
((
I think that either an updated version of that tool comes out (but 6.x versions don't have the "scatter" file field) or we could start from that full firmware that Blackview let me download. I can transfer it to you if needed, you find the file list in my other previous mail.
At the moment the basic idea would be, I think as you might have in mind, once the boot.img file is somehow extracted, patch it with magisk, transfer it to the phone and apply it though the bootloader.
Do you agree?
Pasha
@derjaeger
Thank you for your response
I think you are completely right.
I read everything again and noticed that there are only two ROM files, not this whole list, and that there is some doubt about the scatter file and how SP Flash Tool supports it.
So the new firmware has no obvious procedure to upload it and the boot.img file must first be extracted to use Magisk.
It will be best if I wait for a proven method
I will be grateful for the ROM files, they will certainly be useful. Do you have restrictions on their distribution?
Thank you and best regards.
Saper
Yes, the MT68xx platform is likely to have introduced substantial modifications to the architecture and, therefore, the extraction methods. Is anybody reading this thread aware of new tools?
About the SW, I got no restrictions at all, pls let me know in private how you would like to receive them.
Have anybody here the Stock ROM for the Blackview BL8800 Pro?
Hi, I have it, but you gotta wait up to 25th August, as I am now on holiday.
Sorry, I forgot I had the ready link from the company: https://mega.nz/file/rDIAWJaR#TOjmxZl5LdjyVur3lwqP2wgNCm19tNoLhxXioRV8n70
Please let me know if this helps you to make some progress!

Hello Adam, thanks for your replies.
I am not understanding well, in the first one you talk about a patched boot.img but there's no link to it.
In the second one you talk about using a 3rd party app, but is it safe? How do you know it does not install some unwanted stuff?
So I don't understand if you rooted your phone in the 1st or 2nd way, but how is it behaving? Any slowdowns/crashes/unwanted behaviours?
Thanks
