Enable Write to System - HTC Droid DNA

After the unfortunate recent events regarding kernel development, I would like to help get development back on track for this great device. I'm not a kernel dev, so I can't make use of this myself, but I thought it would be useful to anyone else looking to release their own custom kernel.
After a few hours of searching through the kernel source, I found the config file which controls write protection of the system partition.
The flag is contained in \arch\arm\configs\apq8064_defconfig at line 2933, as seen in the screenshot below.

Code:
CONFIG_MMC_MUST_PREVENT_WP_VIOLATION=y
I haven't had time to test it, but either changing it to "n" or removing the line completely (most of the code relating to it is built with #ifdef statements, so it would render the relevant code inoperable) should allow writing to /system while booted. As I haven't had time to test it, please be careful when using it (usual disclaimer: i'm not responsible if your phone explodes, kills your grandma, creates a portal to the underworld, etc.).
Thanks to all who participated in the effort to S-OFF the HTC G2/Desire Z (the first phone to use this write protection). Their great documentation made it possible to find this.

I think a lot of us died on the inside when we saw that. Thanks for a good push in the right direction, god knows this forum needs it now.

I think all the files were removed.

So this is basically the same thing as S-Off?

It's similar but not quite the same. Without s-off we still can't use an engineering bootloader, change radios, or downgrade bootloaders and radios, among other things. This disables the hardware write protection while booted, and allows us to do things like use adfree to write the hosts file without having to flash it in recovery.

Unfortunately, he requested that his works not be used, and I intend to honor that. However, much of the source of his kernel came from other devs such as show-p and faux. This means that most of the governors, sweep2wake, and other components are freely available for anyone to use. I'm not a kernel dev, but I'm going to try to do what I can to keep things moving.

They were a tad quiet about that. So much for a press release or anything.
I feel sodomized now...
This is a load of legal BS, which is only to benefit one party (ASUS). I wonder if such one-sided contracts will even stand up in court...
Great news !!!!
This future certainly looks bright !!
Bring on the Roms etc.
unlocking success XD now booting up it only takes a few seconds...
Finally! I really hope this will kickstart development.
strange recovery... only had a look for a few seconds as there is a timecounter in the background, but there is an option to install linux , mnt usb? maybe with FS? and to wipe (I don't want to press the button). I think it checked up the internal storage for some special files, like bootloader in htc for the pd**.img
Basically this unlocker grabs the serial of the CPU, tells the Asus server... Gets back the necessary info to unlock, unlocks the device and leave a marker for warranty thrashing (It mentions some sort of flag), then reboots.
Edit:If anyone was wondering, the serial of the cpu would be independent of the device serial (In format 0245xxxxxxxxxxxx) is acquired from /proc/cpuinfo
Edit2:I believe the unlock server is mdm.asus.com via HTTPS, also I believe it uses the Android device ID as well.
More Info!!! Thanks
couldn't someone just make a app, that does all this, except tell the asus sever our cpu number?
that way they would still think we havent unlocked it?
this is great news, the only problem i see is not being able to recieve OTA anymore. i am sure a dev will figure out a way to get us unlocked primes a way to install/flash them.
This is good to know and I will be keeping an eye out for any results that the community has using it. However, I won't be downloading/installing the tool because my Prime has not been rooted or gone backwards with ICS versions. I want to go the official update route for awhile yet. This is just a personal preference. I have too much money tied up in this unit to void the warranty.

It's a challenge-response thing with the challenge built from the cpu serial and device id (or one of those, or more... Didn't take a close look). Only Asus and the person in possession of the device would know these.
Also they're not stupid enough to just let you throw unlock requests at them without recording them. (After all they do have to look up the keys to unlock the bootloader)
Also they're probably wiping the DRM keys on the device as well, so devs don't go extracting them after they've unlocked their bootloaders.

DD'ing blobs *should* work still, although YMMV.
nice! now let's hope for a good recovery and custom roms!
As much as I want to use this I'm not going too. Don't want to lose my warranty as I dont trust this device with the amount of problems that surround it so far. Also wont get OTA updates. Asus know how to screw over there buyers, should of been unlocked before release.
Hm, did anyone get fastboot to work? For me it stays for ever at the line "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol"
Does it wipe the device?

There is not really a usable recovery. Only the OTA one which just shows you an error once you start it. (Because there is no OTA file to apply)
Once booting with VOL_DOWN you can choose between a cold boot, wiping data or entering fastboot mode (which does not really seem to work for me)

[DEV] [REF] Splash Updater Utility - Modify source to add a GUI to any script!

Background
Here is a program a whipped up as a learning experience.
My goal was to demonstrate a way add a GUI to any batch script as a standalone EXE.
I did some research and found a small program developed by Dion Nicolaas called Wizard's Apprentice. This program uses a well-described and portable API to create a good user interface for most script languages (e.g. Perl, PHP, VB or batch). This is an old (2006) but effective program and I am sure there may be newer and/or better programs that could have been used.
Armed with...
close to zero experience with batch
the manual for Wizard's Apprentice
benjamminzIS's code from here
Bat To Exe Converter 1.6.0
a nifty website called google
and LOTS of trial and error
...I was able to make this program.
This project demonstrates that almost anyone can add a GUI to almost any script…and really that means the options are limitless. I am not going to write a guide on how to do this but I am releasing all my source code/files for anyone interested.
I encourage anyone to modify, repackage, repurpose or even continue developing this program as your own.
I require no credit and it is my hope that this program will be used as a base (or reference) that will stimulate more meaningful development.
All I ask is that if you are experienced with batch scripting that you do not make fun of my scripts (at least not to my face), which should be functional but are surely not the most advanced or efficient.
​Overview
This program will allow you to choose a 540 x 960 image file (e.g. jpg, png, bmp), convert it to a flashable format (.img), optionally save the converted file and/or flash the file to your phone.
All things considered this program is nothing to be too excited about except that it can be used as a base to add a GUI to other scripts.
This is and always will be a beta release and I plan to only release (at most) a couple of updates to fix any critical issues that are found.
I personally tested this on my device and found it to work perfectly but do your own research and please only use it at your own risk.

Hey man.
I am very impressed by what you were able to do here. I have been trying to edit your source to make a GUI for my batch file but I cant get it to work right. The code looks nothing like normal batch to me.
What are you looking to do?
The the manual for Wizard's Apprentice is really helpful BUT it took me a lot of trial and error...it is not standard batch but pretty straightforward.
Works great!Super easyyyyyyyyyy!Thanks aloooooooooot!:good::good:

Toolkit Ideas

So I made the base of my toolkit. Just waiting on a recovery to finish it. Now I want some ideas to add/implement/make it better.
Many people know that I make toolkits for basically every new HTC phone. Here is the sample for the One X+ at the moment.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Things I will NOT add.
- Stock/Custom Kernels
- Remove Root
- Probably more that I forgot
Many people flashed kernels and had no idea on how to use it and soft-bricked their phones.
Root can be removed with the SuperSU app from my toolkit.
So give reasonable recommendations and I will see what I can do!
Hey hasoon,
under "kernel" maybe "fastboot erase cache" as it comes hand after flashing boot.img (or directly in flash command for boot.img, if it's not already there)
and eventually "adb logcat -d >log.txt" under "command". Just for the lazy among us .

Would be happy to help but I don't know how flashing on the one x+ looks like as I don't have one(for the moment). But when I'll have passed the two weeks of stock rom limits testing and will flash another rom, then I'll see if they are improvements to do .

flashing is the same with all phones. download a ROM, transfer to your phone, go into recovery and flash. Rooting is the same for pretty much all modern HTC phones.

I've used your toolkit, and I have to say it is pretty awesome work. However, as a first time user, I was rather confused with the UI, since it looked like there was no real 'order' labelled on each section, they aren't labelled like "Step 1, 2.. etc". Otherwise, the tool works great.
Might be more a project rather than a option but Rom Downloader? or adb sideload, handy when you format your sd

ROM downloader is another story. I don't have a centralized database with all the ROMs. I'm adding ADB Sideload as we speak!
I'm redoing my scripts to make this even better! It isn't easy and I probably won't have it done tonight. My goal is to have it done by tonight! However, I never had these features before, so I'm learning how to implement them without errors!
Here's a sample of the new addition!
Make some requests. I'll see what I can do!
Features will vary from device to device. The Amaze does not need an ADB Sideload feature. I'm using my Amaze source to mess with the new add ons.
This will not be done tonight. It's taking a lot of time to write this and it's giving me some errors.

As you may or may not be aware, I have been working on get CWM Recovery working on the Gen9's and basically make the layout of the Filesystems etc reflect some sort of Android Standard, In SDE mode at least. This is coming along nicely and I should be ready to kick out a Early Beta in the Next Couple of Weeks.
I would like to gather some input on any additional options people who like to see in CWM, Basically CWM Recovery Comes with a standard set of features but they maybe options that you have found useful on Device's you have had in the past etc.
I already plan to make it possible to boot into all modes on the device, that Archos Recovery, Archos Android, SDE Android and SDE CWM Recovery.
So Yeah, Give me Ideas and I'll seen If I can accomadate them
NOTE: Obviously We are just getting started on this and alternative recoveries will come in time, TWRP for example but one thing at a time eh :good:
Okay, Here's a currently "wishlist" of feature I think would be quite useful
Archos Specific Features
Include Stock Repair and Recovery Options
Include Stock Developer Edition Options
Reboot to Stock Recovery Option as a Fail Safe.
Reboot Stock Android
Flash Archos aos update
Upgrade Existing SDE Images to new structure
An the list goes on.....
Print system Properties
Print dmesg
Resize Partitions
Manage FS Image Location ( mainly nice to have on HDD Version I suppose )
Backup to Sparse Image ( I'm sure CWM5 Nandroid did this with ext4 partitions, god knows why they changed to a default choice between tar archives or dup differential blobs, What If I just a single portable file for my data partition backup!! )
Start Fastboot support ( could be useful for flash images rather the 'ffing around with edify scripts and update zips )
Power Off ( Suprisingly not include by default )
Full Touch Support with on screen keyboard and command line
I think those features will do nicely but If anyone has anymore then get involved!
The nandroid backup interests me a lot... its always nice to be able to "return" to when it was working if anything breaks.
Im watching this thread with interest good luck!!
TrOjAn
Maybe an ability to mount the whole system through usb? So one could DD clone the whole memory chip to PC. That could recover some bricks.

Hi There,
I think, You've got your wires crossed None of this is related to letama CWM Recovery./ If you haven't already you may want to have a read of this thread in the development section I won't go into details here because It's all in there!
I well aware of how fastboot works but to supporting the fastboot protovol allows the same workflow when it come to work with the AOSP source as any over device. which is
Build Rom
Flash the Partitions with fastboot
Reboot Into Rom.
???
Profit
When you control both ends of the conversation, We are free to do as we please.
Any news ... are there any files to do some testing?

It would be most helpful if you know how to and have compiled a linux kernel from scratch in the past. The only thing I ask is that you read the entirety of this post before installing.
Download
Setup:
Unable to complete handset setup
After setting up WiFi if you are stuck at handset migration move back to the first language selection screen. Then hit next as fast as you can. Should skip you past problematic screen.
After you have completed setting up your handset install OpenGapps AARM64 architecture
Unable to send or receive phone calls.
After you install OpenGapps phone should begin to work properly again.
After installing let Davik cache rebuild for 10-15 minutes. I don't know why but that fixed it for me.

what is this supposed to be??? Op seems kind of obscure as to what the purpose of the thread is
If you know what those kernel modules are, then you know what it does. I don't want to hold people's hands walking them though how to use it. If that's what XDA is for I'm just going to move it to my website and have this thread locked.
Its a rom with kernel modules so you can run Linux in a chroot with all the capabilities of a laptop for penetration testing. Its like the PwnieExpress. Except it actually works. Well, not yet, but I'm working on it. The things baked into the PwnieExpress anyone can install without having to jump through a million hoops anyway. I'm trying to do the hard stuff of enabling radio frequency hacking on your handset.
Eventually if I ever get a jtagulator I'll rip my phone apart and begin analyzing and dissecting the individual flash nand chips. The broadcom chip on the phone looks to not have been neutered either.

Well I was running my kernel build until today. It was working fine. Time for me to build a new kernel. Not because this one doesn't work but Cyanogen is officially dead so I'll be forking and building from AOSP sources now. :crying:

Is the lineage kernel so different?

Well I was running my kernel build until today. It was working fine. Time for me to build a new kernel. Not because this one doesn't work but Cyanogen is officially dead so I'll be forking and building from AOSP sources now. :crying:

I would say build from lineage.
Lineage OS is nothing more than a rebrand. It's still CyanogenMod.

Yeah I'll look into it. I'll probably build a new kernel tonight or tomorrow. It really works my CPU I might look into continuous builds using jenkins on a AWS instance if I can.
