Hello, I got an unbranded X10 mini that says it has an OTA update available.
Saw this request over at swedroid.se and thought I'd see if I could help.
Note that this is my first Android phone so give me the n00b treatment
Settings > About phone gives me
Firmware: 1.6
Baseband: Unknown
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
Build: 1.0.A.1.38
And debug menu (MBBMBMMB) gives me.
Phone Software Version: 1235-3408_1.0.A.1.38 GENERIC - user
File System Version: WORLD-1-8_1.0.A.1.38
So, whats next?
Excellent
Are you able to tcpdump ? Unix skills ? dd-wrt router ? smth like this ?
Plz contact me through PM! WE NEED THE FOTA
Regards
Bin4ry
OK, PM sent
Bin4ry can you try and explain to him how to capture the link aswell for future use
You got OTA? : Yes
Which Provider: Netcom Norway
Branding? : No
Firmware before OTA : 1.6
Firmware after OTA: (Will wait to update until I know you want me to)
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
Build: 1.0.A.1.38
Phone Software Version:
1235-3408_1.0.A.1.38
GENERIC - user
File System Version:
WORLD-1-8_1.0.A.1.38
Contact me if you need me to do anything.
thanks for the replys,you got PMs
If only the x10i community was so passionate about rooting lol
As you MarylandCookie know , if i got the fota.package it will only be minutes to root
So if one of the two guys is able to do me the tcpdump, i can release root for the people which are still on 38 firmware.
Then we only need a way to flash all people back to 38
Regards
Bin4ry
Yeah i know and i bet your itching to get your hands on it though lol
Hei Im joining in from norway. I also have a x10 mini with same firmware as noel, the norwegian guy
All who are able to do please do a tcpdump while downloading the firmware over WLAN.
You can also use windump if you are a windows user and have a monitoring mode enabled card.
If you have dd-wrt it would be the best. Because you can install tcpdump right on it and capture all traffic!
Please send me your logs after dump
Many Thanks
Bin4ry
I forgot to tell, I am a total NOOB
Thanks your offer was nice, but you need a little experience to dump :/
But thanks anyway
Just to notice. If you want root asap, dont do the FOTA now
Regards
Bin4ry
Could you hand out a pdf which can explain FOTA and everything related to it for a total noob?
Hi again,
I have build
1.0.A.1.37
and the phone says there is an update avialable.
making a tcd dump could be a bit difficult since I am not using my pc as WIFI source. I will check if it is possible. Since I am a windows user I am just familiar with wireshark. I hope it wolud be sufficient to capture the complete traffic of the WIFI adapter.
BUT
I could also mybe capture from the x10 mini if this is possible. I don't know how, yet. is there an app? or maybe we could use adb somehow. I will check the sdk for a possibility to log the tcp traffic if there is no app yet.
update:
I will try out the win7 tool connectify to configure a accesspoint on my laptop and cap the update of the mini when I am home (~7pm GMT+1)
If your PC has WIFI card, you can try to use any linux live-cd router to setup MINI WIFI connection through PC. And it ready to tcpdump.
like this: http://www.junefabrics.com/iphone/index.php
Please note that the android can't use Ad-Hoc mode (computer-computer),only infrastructure.
Any versions of Windows and MAC can make only AD-HOC network.
Another way is put PC WIFI (or LAN) card to Monitoring mode (use sniffer, PCAP), but this way maybe some hard for Newcomers.
The perfect way if you have OpenWRT, DD-WRT powered router: http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware.html
The most hardcore method: Just call to SE support and ask about FOTA dump
@xfdisk11: sorry, but all this stuff sounds like "%&§$"#**+" to me...
i will not mess around with linux right now...
I couldn't resist to try set up a connection right now:
the mini wasn't able to recieve adress from connectify and i do not recommend this tool, anymore
I did try VirtualWifi and can connect to the pc, but the routing just worked for some minutes and now I tried to start capturing but it fails getting DNS response on query:
prod.dm.sonyericsson.com.\xf4\xe7w\xa1\xcb\xdf\xca\xab\x9f\xe6.\xbf\x99/Q\xa1FH\x03\x0aG']\x8f\x86O\x9c\x8d\xba\xa9\x11\x08\x08\x06\x8d\x8bK\x1f\xee\x8f\xbe`\x9d\xb8\x81(@a\xe9\xa4g\xf1|q\x8c\x1a\x1b$\x18\x0c\x90\x90`\xc8\xe0\xd6^\x8e\xffR\xa1Nh
Have to try a bit around to set this up correctly.
I would like also to log the update request from the device since it could be possible to fake a communication with the SE server and get an easy way to deliver own packages
the update starts downloading:
prod.dm.sonyericsson.com/download/data/published/fota/sonyericsson/e10i/1235-7173/r17a/1235-3408_generic/1.0.a.1.37/vfe-1-8/fota.package
i think thats what you were looking for
Yess !!!
first Package found. I'm uploading Root for you now
More Versions will follow!
But atm we are not able to downgrade the software by ourselves!

I searched a way to root my phone in this site and every other I found and didn't
find one.
Excuse me if this post is not necesary and the solution was right in front of me the whole time.
I tried my best not to unnecesary disturb the comunity but failed.
This is the phone in question:
http : / / www . dhgate . com /3-5-inch-capacitive-touch-screen-android/p-ff808081366bccce0136a5492f261e89.html
Some data about it:
BB Chip: MT6573
MS Board.: e1117_v73_jhgg
Modem Ver.: MAUI.11AMD.W11.37.SP.V17
Kernel Ver.: 2.6.35.7
Android Ver.: 2.3.6
SW ver: ALPS.GB.FDD2.MP.V4.5
I don't know if there are any other relevant data you need to help me except that the rom is odexed
Please help me, I need this mainly to fix the hebrew in orientation, It's really annoying having to read everithing backwards.
Thank you in advance.
Your best bet is to use SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse. You can google the name or go to his website at shortfuse org
Some of the methods I already tried
Thank you for your reply!!
I didn't told you before the methods I already tried.
First: before reading that many exploits were fixed in 2.3.6 I tried z4root and superoneclick with zergRush.
Both got stuck in the middle.
To fix the backwards direction of hebrew text (the main reason why I need to root this device so urgently) I tried to update from Settings>about phone>system updates (somone somewhere sayd It worked for him) and RTLAutoPatcher-1.5 that needs the rom to be deodexed and mine is not.
Thank you for your cooperation and interest in my problem.
Edit:
I finally found out what i was doing wrong, I deactivated my antivirus and downloaded superclick again and at it worked!!
Now I'll try to find a way to fix the text direction without changing my rom but if I'll must I'll probably end up chaging the rom
Thank you Wolftou for your help
i think i have the same phone...
which rom do you think to use?

Hi everybody! I am looking for helping answers related to my newly purchased 10" internet tablet Overmax OV-TB-09B with 1.2 GHZ Cortex CPU running Android ICS 4.03.
The tablet is great, but it doesn't offer 3G and Bluetooth conectivity by itself. Therefore I am looking for a suitable compatible 3G USB modem, as well as a Bluetooth USB dongle with the associate ddrivers.
Therefore please can someone give me some recommendations? Thank you!

how is it? your tablet? i think the response for your problem is... you can buy a new phone with android os and you can turn tethering option on your phone and then your tablet see your phone as a hotspot wifi. Btw i saw that you are from Bucharest, im from Timisoara.

Thank you ozambaretzo, glad to hear that you are from Timisoara, very nice city with very nice people over there!
There is another more convenient work around consisting in using a 3G wifi modem (hot spot), I have tested it and it works. But I was looking for a true 3G USB modem that I find more conveneint for me.
Coming back to my initial question, I think I know now the right answer for it: it is not easily possible to use a 3G usb modem or usb buetooth dongle as long as the corresponding Android drivers are not incorporated in the kernel by the manufacturer.
Even more, in case somebody would like to cook its own ROM, the respective Android drivers are not available on the market at all.
Anyway, I am not at all familiar with Android, but I think I recall that I have installed printer drivers in Linux, I expect this to be similar in Android.
Why is it not possible to run an apk that is installing a driver in the OS as long as the tablet is rooted?
Could somebody please explain in general terms this problem with Android? Thank you!
I have an overmax ov-tb-09c tab and i can't identify its originial manufacturer... i tried all of the methods, what i know (very much google search, google translate, overmax support and still no answer

Indeed no idea on how to find the original manufacturer...
The tablet is sold on the market already rooted, you should run Root Checker Basic (freeware) on it and see if it becomes green....Superuser got installed all right on my tablet.

Hi fecooo! Very interesting this Overmax of yours with JB!!! Are you sure that it is the same model as in this thread, i.e. OV-TB-09B? I got mine with ICS 4.03 and so it was probably the whole imported batch. In which country did you buy this Overmax OV-TB-09B? Definitely I would be interested in getting the stock JB image that is loaded on your tablet! Any link you know available somewhere please?
Could you please post a picture of the screen showing your OS and kernel version? Or PM it to me, please.

Never heared of this "zhuodashi" program, it would be great to post a relevant link to it. Of course I can also google for it or do a search on this forum, but you know best what you are talking about.
Did this program also open-up your bootloader, any idea about that?
In my case, although the tablet was routed, the bootloader was blocked. In your case if the tablet was not rooted, than probably the bootloader is open, allowing you to install another ROM image, stock or customized, as you please.
Looking forward for your answers and then I will ask you about modems.

i'm hungarian and i bought in auchan
zhuodashi is only in chinese language, the only word what i can read, root (in english)
this program installs on your phone 2 apps, maybe spy, but i don't know... i only know that this method rooted my tab!
i don't know, how can i see if my tablet has open or locked BL.
i have a globetrotter hsxpa 3g modem (t-mobile, old...) and no luck, didnt recognised... (so i'm afraid i can't help you about modems...)
ZhuoDaShi-2.2.9-setup
this version, what I downloaded...
i don't know all abilities of the app, but really useful can be with a well-known (LG,samsung, etc...) android device! (custom roms, etc...)
stock image of this rom can be dl-ed from overmax.pl (but be careful, i don't know the difference between the two versions... except the accumulator, my tab has 4000mA)

Great, thank you for the answer.
For making almpst any modem run on the tablet you need to install PPP Widget application from the Google play market, but I have no idea if it runs with JB4.1. It does OK on the ICS4.03.
On your picture it looks like (I can't read it well on that picture) your model of Overmax is OV-TB-09C, correct? Does it have a rear video camera? I know from a Romanian forum that somebody has installed this C-model software on a B-model tablet and the rear camera doens't work, but the rest is OK.
On the B-model the battery is claimed to be of 6000mAh, but I don't know if this is true.
The B-model has no Bluetooth, how about your C-model?

After connecting the modem, give him like 20-30 sec to be recognized, then click in the middle of the ppp widget icon and a drop down window will open where you have to see the name of your modem and select it. Then you need to click on the Configure button just below the ppp widget icon and a specific confiration window will open up. Fill in the specific APN info of your provider, but take care where it says Access Point Name on the first line write the APN info (eg internet.vodafone.ro) and not the conventional name of the APN (e.g. Vodafone).
Good luck with it!
Please let us know the news on your progress!

About identifying the original manufacturer, I recall that I have once installed a while ago the wifi application called WiFi Key Recovery (free on the Google play), which was showing on the top line the type of my tablet:
Device: crane_a1002jhakai crane-a1002jhakai
Unfortunately, still I wasn't able to identify the true Chinese manufacturer.
You might want to try this on your tablet and share with us your findings.....

Hi fecooo, any progress in your endeavour to identify the original manufacturer?
I have been flashing the C-model software on my B-tablet and it's installing JB4.1.1. Unfortunately there are some differences: the rear camera is not working (wrong driver?) showing just stripes all over the picture, the task manager is missing completely and most of all the tablet is not rooted any more. Not that I couldn't root it thanks to your tip with zhuodashi, but I've reverted back to the original ICS 4.03, it's not that bad.
I am looking forward for a new release of Overmax, but in the past week they have removed any download from their website, I guess that they are preparing new software for upload. We'll see what will be coming up......Maybe also a hint towards the original manufacturer.....

hi!
sorry for the late answer :S
i give up, i cant identify :S
yes, i saw that they removed the updates, and uploaded some "new" versions... (these are the same from 18.12.2012 -.-' )
now i use JB with stable options, the only problem what i wanted to solve, the incompatibility in play store, but still no success
I tried "Allwinner mod" from play store, this change build.prop but i still can't install a single angry birds from store... annoying that we need to download almost everything from external source...
Have you tried to change build.prop to see more apps in play store?

Hi fecooo, soryy for my delay in answering you, I do not visit this site frequently.
As for my Overmax, it is running ICS 4.0.3, therefore I did not meet the problems that you are facing. But I did not know either about build.prop, so I will try to look into it one of these days...
Sorry for not being of much help.....
Hello everyone.
My english is not so good, so forgive me if I make a mistake somewhere...
I am from Serbia, and I have Alcatel One Touch Fire mobile device that I have purchased from Telenor with postpaid agreement.
Version of Firefox OS on my device is Firefox OS 1.1.0.0-02009A that I installed as standard upgrade. After that, I have problem which is reflected in the inability of show me name of caller that I have in my Contact. So, I can never see the name of the person who called me, whether I have it or do not have the contacts, I see just phone number. That frustrate me very.
I've seen versions after 1.3 have a number of improvements, and I wanted a newer version of the OS to install, but do not know how.
I do not know if it's Telenor locked the phone and whether they can install the new version of the OS.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi, hope you are still using the device, here is a post which might solve your problem, it shows how to upgrade the device to Firefox OS 2.5

Hi Don7tk,
I raised a corresponding questing here.
Unfortunately all links in/to your tutorial are not valid any more. Do you still own the ROM and driver files?
