non-branded phone acts like it's branded - "SIM network unlock NCK" - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear xda-community,
My phone: Honor 9 lite, non-branded, android 8, magisk installed. Running unofficial lineage-os 15.1.
Since 2 days now, after I enter the SIM-card's PIN, it says "SIM network unlock NCK" unlock/dismiss like in the attached picture.
How I tried to fix it:
* factory reset
* using different sim card
* flashing another ROM
* restoring a FULL TWRP backup of stock ROM (bck includes: kernel, ramdisk, cust, oeminfo, product, system, system image, vendor, vendor image, version, odm)
* TWRP -> advances -> fix contexts
* I also changed the permission of the sd-card with chmod +rw. I don't think I accidentally did that recursively on the / directory. But to be sure, I also ran the fix_permissions script following this guide: https://www.drewgreen.net/2012/03/15/manually-run-fix-permissions-from-recovery/
How it probably happened:
I was trying to delete content of a microsd-card in my phone. I used adb shell su went into the sd-card directory and executed rm -rf ./
However, I accidentally forgot the "." before the "/" :crying:
The terminal got flooded with "... read only file-system", since most is mounted as read only. But maybe somefiles were deleted, that I couldn't see in the terminal (scrollback buffer was full) .
Does anyone have an idea
1. why the error still exists after a factory reset (both with twrp and stock recovery) and even after restoring a full twrp backup?
2. how to fix this? Or is the problem unrelated to the stupid thing I did and just coincidental?
I am very thankful for any help and appreciate whoever takes his time to help me.
*UPDATE*
I used my warranty and my phone got sent to honor. Before, I relocked the bootloader and flashed an updated stockrom, so 1. they didn't see I immediately (at boot time) that I tampered with the phone and 2. I could tell the shop that it happened while installing system update.
they didn't charge me anything and it works again.

were you ever able to resolve this? i have the same imei and nck issue.

@AShah85
Unfortunately not.
I brought it to the shop were I bought the phone and they then sent it to honor. They fixed it free of charge but never told me what they did.
I bought this phone in Germany, where simlocking is illegal. They buy them elsewhere and unlock them for the german market. Apperantly I (somehow) undid this unlocking.
I'm not familiar enough with this topic, but I don't think you can change that with regular tools and probably need a key which hash is stored on the phone.
In short:
I used warrenty to fix it. I relocked the bootloader (to get rid of that "phone cant be trusted" screen at boot time) and reflashed stock rom (some newer one) and told them this error occured when I was trying to upgrade (cuz this apperantly indeed happens sometimes, search the internet...).

Hmm thanks for the reply. I guess I'll have to take it into the shop and see if they can figure it out.

[SOLVED] Upgrade Fujitsu Arrows F-01D to ICS

Firstly a big thank you macexplorer who again found the relevant links amongst much Japanese.
See the original thread on rooting the F-01D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611484
Following are quick instructions on how to upgrade the device to ICS. All your data will remain intact, but the /system partition is completely wiped.
NB: YOU WILL LOSE ROOT IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. YOU WILL NOT GET ROOT BACK.
To be clear, at the present moment in time, you need to CHOOSE BETWEEN ICS OR ROOT, you can't have both. The official upgrade below completely reflashes the system partition, so tools like OTA RootKeeper will not help you. The new release is more secure than ever and at current we don't know a new way to get root. If anyone finds any new information, please speak up
DISCLAIMER: Following these instructions might brick your device, void your warranty, etc. This is unlikely since you're basically installing an official update, but to be clear, I disclaim any and all responsibility for any (permanent) damage that might be caused by these instructions. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
The original instructions are here (or see in Google Translate)
http://spf.fmworld.net/fujitsu/c/update/nttdocomo/f-01d/update1/top/index.html
My instructions are slightly different, aimed at more advanced users, and serves the file direct from my server (I found the original server quite picky in terms of refer and user agent, and also slow. I'm also serving the unzipped version, since compression was 0% anyways).
PRE-REQUISITES
At least 50% battery (ideally more in case things go wrong...).
Settings -> About, make sure Android version is 3.2, and Build number is either V28R43A (as recommended on the official page) or V19R36D (what I had; it worked for me but YMMV).
Settings -> Storage, at least 1.5 GB free in "Built in storage" (try installing first to external SD card and let me know if it works.. it's a lot safer).
ICS UPGRADE FOR F-01D
Download F01D_TO_SP_ICS1.enc and put it in /sdcard (md5sum: 2014d0254568a4ef955b21476012a9b5)
Boot into recovery (power off, hold down both volume keys and power up), select "update firmware" and press the power button agin.
Pay attention... the first time I tried this, it rebooted back in to recovery part way.... if this happens, just repeat step 2 above and make sure the progress bar completes all the way.
After this, it will reboot a few times, don't worry. Boot 1 will do the "optimizing android apps" screen, Boot 2 will be "upgrading calendar, contacts, etc..." and Boot 3 will say "finishing upgrade" and let you use the system.
If anyone has any leads on re-rooting the device, speak up. From my initial observations security is tighter than ever, so this might be a problem... but there are clever people out there
Regarding root
No leads for now. We can create /data/local.prop using the ICS/JB restore technique, but unfortunately the new firmware is completely ignoring either this file or the ro.kernel.qemu property.
If I understood the google translated Japanese correctly, this guy got to the same conclusion, and is now looking for other solutions. I wish him luck because after spending the day on this I have to get back to my real work

Temporary Root
This link in xda works to get a temporary root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886310
i think to get permanent root, need the lsm_disabler.ko for ICS kernel.
Update:
ICS kernel has blocked loading kernel modules; so cannot insmod a custom kernel.
so cannot remount /system, and cannot get permanent root..
shame on the dandroids..
Post upgrade restart errors?
Hi, slightly off-topic but related - has anyone had issues after upgrading with google maps? Whenever I start google maps it will hang and then restart my tablet.
Essentially google maps is now unusable which is very annoying. Please let me know if anyone has experienced this too and if so if they have a solution to the problem.
Many thanks in advance!
I lost boot after upgrade the device to ICS :crying:

FINALLY..ROOT on F-01D for V08R31A
I hope someone is still using the F-01D. So here's to you diehards.
After many many failed attempts, i finally managed to get a more permanent root.
Probably others have got this to root, but I havent seen anything come up via searches.
Main stumbling block has been in getting the address of 'ptmx_fops'. Finally got it thro, rootkitXperia_20131207.zip (get_root..this prints but fails in ptrace; ptrace is blocked in f01d)
I have just managed to get a permanent root. The steps maybe little approx. Do verify and let me know. Its non-destructive, so no harm done.
but do at your own risk..and other standard disclaimers apply
Steps:
1. do the temp root as per : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33071441&postcount=3
2. get the exploit source from https://github.com/fi01/unlock_security_module
(recursive download)
3. compile the source. this will generate a libs/armeabi/unlock_security_module binary
4. add the following recs to the device_database/device.db
these are kallsyms kern func addresses; most are avail direct from kallsyms, except for ptms_fops.
Code:
sqlite3 device_database/device.db
insert into supported_devices values(187,'F-01D','V08R31A');
insert into device_address values(187,'commit_creds',3221986012);
insert into device_address values(187,'prepare_kernel_cred',3221985196);
insert into device_address values(187,'ptmx_fops',3229222484);
insert into device_address values(187,'remap_pfn_range',3222251308);
insert into device_address values(187,'vmalloc_exec',3222293708);
5. push device.db and unlock_security_module to /data/local/tmp/
6. simply run from /data/local/tmp: ./unlock_security_module as the root obtained temp earlier.
7. after sometime, this will say LSM disabled!!
8. now remount /system as rw. carefully copy su binary to /system/xbin/ (pref use the latest version from SuperSu).
Also copy Superuser.apk to /system/app
>>carefully copy means: chown/chgrp /system/xbin/su to "0"; set perms: chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su.
9. copy busybox from /data/local/tmp to /system/xbin; and install (./busybox --install -s /system/xbin/
10. At this stage, su doesnt seem to work for newer shell connections (must do _su and then su). probably due to the exploit messing up the kernel.
11. reboot. and enjoy your newly permanent rooted status.
12. after reboot, still cannot do system remount as lsm is back to original. rerun the unlock_security_module should disable this.
maybe even move this to /system/xbin/;
But this seems to destabilise the system.
Its not possible to use a lsm disabler ko insmod. the kernel sec mech validates the module with path and hash.
So it has to be: unlock security; do your thing with /system etc., reboot.
(not sure yet if any changes to /system/buid.prop will help)
Do let me know how this works out and point out errors in the steps.
And as luck would have it there is a new ICS release out on 5-Feb.
https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/support/utilization/product_update/list/f01d/index.html
http://spf.fmworld.net/fujitsu/c/update/nttdocomo/f-01d/update1/top/data/download.html
(F01D_TO_SP_ICS2.zip)
This moves the version to V12R33B.
Do not hazard to update to this, if you want to keep this root. this release probably fixes many of the exploits.
the wifi model seems to have got 4.1..wonder is something will trickle down to f01d.

[Q] No update.zip is working for my Lenovo S6000L

Hi all!
My Lenovo S6000L entered on a bootloop more than one week ago, apparently with no cause (no modifications made). The first thing I tried was entering recovery mode and wipe data and cache. Both were apparently successful. Then I reboot again and it continues with the bootloop (done this about 99 times).
Since then i have been reading as much as I could about what to do, but unsuccessfully. I decided to wipe dalvik-cache and see what happens, but the only way it came to my mind was using a update.zip file on the SD-card (because the SD-card is the only one place I can access). Here the problems became more annoying: haven't been able to run till the end any of the update.zip files I downloaded or made according with the tutorials I found. The message is always:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Installation aborted.
I have tried removing everything from the updater-script excepting the ui_print('Whatever') commands, hoping to see something else on my screen (and being afraid of errors being caused by eMMC access error), but message is the same.
Things I have tried:
Signed and unsigned zips
Unix and Windows line breaks on the script file (I'm using Sublime Text)
Writing all the commands in one line (anyways leaving one empty line at the end of the file)
No changes on the output of the screen. One of the downloaded zip files I have tried is a CWM ZIP, hoping to enter in a recovery mode that could let me delete de dalvik-cache (even if not sure yet about how much that could help).
In bootloop is quite difficult to use dba. I haven't been able to access the tablet using the computer yet. It' also quite challenging to get a stock ROM for this model.
Any help? I feel quite desperate.
Thanks for your time.

[Q] Asus MemoPad Me102a. Stuck at the menu where you can choose the language

Hi everyone !
I've come to a problem involving quite a few (regretably stupid) steps.
I first tried to root my tablet with the kingo root app thingy, with a relative success. I was indeed able to get super-user access in an adb shell, but not grant acces to the apps that needs it when opening them. I may have been able to work around it, but here is not the problem.
My main goal was to delete some stock apps, and since i wasn't able to do it with another app i decided to do it manually.
steps involved :
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
and now my masterpiece :
rm Asus*
rm SetupWizard.*
and rm others less important
But unfortunatly the settings apk was hidden inside the Asus* crap (Probably AsusSettings.apk)
Until now, i was still able to use my tablet. Just unable to go to settings or anything, but obviously I found it quite anoying.
So there came my second masterpiece :
I booted into recovery, and did a factory reset.
Now, if i boot my tablet, i'm stuck at the language setup, and i can't go any further because when i want to continue it says that the setup wizard has stopped working. I can't connect the tablet with adb because I did this factory reset and I can't access the settings anymore.
I don't have a custom recovery, nor custom rom.
I anyone has a brilliant idea to solve my brilliant problem, he is more than welcome !
Cheers,
Guitou0

I found out how to resolve it.
From the begin I was trying to use the recovery to replace the entire firmware by its original (found on the Asus website).
For some reasons it didn't work, but what did work was flashing the system.img found inside the firmware package with fastboot.
fastboot oem unlock (not sure that it was necessary)
fastboot flash system (path to system image)/system.img
After some time, (230sec approximatly) i got an error message, but when i rebooted the tablet the missings apks where back.

Poptel P60 Discussion: Firmware, TWRP, Root, Unbrick

UPDATE: I was able to debrick the phone. Read my later post for details.
----------------------
Hi All,
Thank you all for having amazing community of hackers and developers here. You guys rock.
I started my search for a new rugged rootable phone recently and I settled on Poptel P60. It is a great phone though slightly bigger than what I normally get. Nontheless, the specs are excellent and the price is fair!
I've had a limited success rooting and customizing this phone. The OEM interface is almost bearable but overall the "Customized UI" felt like a downgrade from stock Oreo. It has a very annoying feature of reverting to stock launcher on startup, even when I selected Nova as my default one. The stock launcher is not that great. This, and the lack of ability to use x.flux, Titanium Backup and other root-only apps drove me to try hacking things again.
After emailing the manufacturer they provided the firmware but it is in CPB format. I tried at least 3 different converters for CPB to MTK Scatter and they all either freeze or hang. No luck.
Instead I did a rom readback with SPFlashTool and then cut up the partitions with Wwr. Now I've finally had the recovery partition! I used CarlivImageKitchen to port TWRP from a similar device, Ulefone Armor 5. The chipset and resolution are same. After some trial and error it worked! I had to use USB-OTG for input and external sd card had a weird label, but I was able to install Magisk from the SD card to root, followed by XPosed, full package. It worked! If anyone needs my ported TWRP Recovery for Poptel P60 just ask!
However, the manufacturer UI did complain a lot about the phone being rooted. Eventually, somehow, Magisk stop receiving root requests. They never showed up and timed out! Very strange, because apps that already received root continued working. I tried a lot but could not fix the issue. I was fed up. I wanted to do a manufacturer reset (in hopes of starting from scratch and then attempting to port Lineage or something) but, as I've mentioned, I have not received a firmware compatible with SPFlashTool. I tried to make one from Armor 5. The partitions were almost the same (both are MT6763 devices). One was out of order, and offsets were different and I patched all those. To be clear, I used all the partitions and layout extracted from my rom readback that was cut up by Wwr. I only used the Armor 5 scatter as a reference for file format. I edited the layout to match everythign I saw in Wwr.
This is where the horror begins. I tried flashing (Download Only) with SPFlashTool but got some error saying something changed. "Do you want to do Format & Download instead?". Being an inexperienced idiot that I am, I said yes!
Now, the phone appears bricked. No lights. No screen output. Cannot enter fastboot. Cannot enter recovery. Cannot boot.
I have a feeling the preloader got corrupted. I'm not sure this is the case because I've omitted the preloder from download. At least the first time the phone started acting bricked. The device still shows as Mediatek USB VCOM device and flashing gets initiated but all attempts to flash result in errors. MA checksum mistmatch or something along that order. I've tried a lot of things and I'm stuck! For good or for worse I've tried flashing Ulefone Armor 5 preloader but I'm getting the same error when trying to flash it.
Here is what I have...
- Stock firmware in SPB format. I can't use it and nothing I tried worked for converting it.
- ROM dump made with SPFlashTool
- Wwr was able to extract every partition except preloader. This includes nvram, etc. I'm not sure why it was not able to extract the bootloader.
- TWRP port that worked. Seems not useful if the phone does not start.
- Preloader for Ulefone Armor 5, (same chipset and resolution)
Clearly I am an idiot for using "Format & Download" option. I've found posts later suggesting against it. I am also over my head for trying to tackle a new device by myself, though I have had a marginal success with porting TWRP and installing Magisk.
Now, I feel like idiot and I am stuck! I beg you, XDA developers, if you have any advice (besides not being an idiot in the future), please share!
Try bringing it back to the carrier and just say that you don't know why it is broken. Maybe they could help you out.
Say maybe something like you wanted to do a factory reset and now everything is broken.

That wouldn't work, heh. I bought this phone on eBay and rights now it's currently sold by a handful of sites. It is on warranty but returning it back to China would be complicated. At any rate, I live on the edge outside of warranty!
I was just about ready to give up and feel like the biggest reckless loser on Earth... Days of tinkering around with nothing but a phone brick to show for it. Poptel tech support wouldn't provide me with MTK scatter. All they gave me was this SPB firmware that nobody uses and it crashes every converter I threw at it. Useless.... No fastboot. No recovery. No functional bootloader.
The amazing GOOD NEWS is I have debricked the phone... I used a bootloader from another phone's firmware: Cubot_Power_MT6763_180607_8.1.0. Unlike Ulefone Armor 5's preloader this one worked! It seems like it's the only thing I was missing because the phone starts up and everything seems to work. I must have done a good job with all other partitions but I'll try to watch for signs of anything else broken. Right now it seems fine.
I'm not sure if the bootloader was completely gone, corrupted, or an incorrect one was used. All I know is I was able to download Cubot Power's working bootloader (also MT6763) with SPFlashTool. Nothing like a feeling of unbricking your phone!
I will post more updates if that's ok... I'm hoping to port Lineage on it (I've never tried that before) or at least find a way around the manufacturer's clunky UI. The hardware is great otherwise. If anybody wants a working ported TWRP image or the scatter I used for debricking just ask! I will make a post later if I have more success with customizing the phone. The phone is debricked and I have a scatter and images to fall back on if anything goes wrong. Woot! Thank you everyone who developed these great tools.
I have the same phone been looking for info. there's a thread on 4pda with poptel p60 that has the scatter file and firmware. Any chance you could post the twrp for this phone? having trouble trying to port myself cant figure out port 6763 from the guides available.

Hey man! Sorry for a slow reply. Was traveling for a few days.
Here is what I have. I started with a TWRP for Armor 5 (also MT6763) and I ported it for Poptel P60 using one of the guides on the forums. It works but it's not perfect. The touchscreen doesn't work, so you have to use USB OTG. Also, internal and external SD card mounts work but labels are confusing, so please be extra careful if wiping/formatting those. I advise popping the SD card out of the phone if wiping/formatting, just in case.
My experience with the phone is it is not the most friendly for rooting. Poptel's customizations are pesky and get in the way. The launcher keeps resetting to default on startup, even after you specify a different one. If you uninstall/disable the OEM launcher there will be red a label on top right of the screen, saying "Customization" that I have not found a way to get rid of. There are other things too, like I keep losing ability to add superuser permission to new apps... Can't figure out why, but sometimes reinstalling Magisk helps. Be very careful when using Magisk Hide, this can turn off your ability to use SIM cards, at least temporarily until you disable hide and restart. Other things is superuser apps don't always launch on startup. Anyway, I don't want to discourage you too much... Here is my twrp port.
https://mega.nz/#!MNVGhaYS!63ovQeowwoP1oE3v6-_ZS8gKx_-mxOh4G4qWcKRbuiQ
Another thing I discovered is GSI builds work mostly well on the phone... with all except one thing, which is mobile data, which seems broken.. Sadly, that's a deal breaker. OEM software is so pesky... It would be so nice to run a clean Android.
Let me know how it goes.

sorry man, didn't end up using yours theres a twrp on 4pda now with a mod to flash to keep root. I'll upload for you here if you don;t have an account there.
The patch for the Light-kastomizator v.12 factory firmware.
I decided not to bother with the draining and distribution of modified firmware as a whole, easier to apply the patch, and ... you're done!
If that - the factory firmware v.12 lies with us -HERE, no problem you can return everything back, or (if there is something Kolupaev), first ask her, and then patch.

After reset immediately loads in the TWRP (inc + volume up), and from the sd-card in turn apply patches "LiteMod_Poptel_P60_v.12.zip" and "Magisk-v ..... zip". Reboot from the installation refuse twrp-applications.
Done, you have custom firmware!

After the completion of all the manipulations, it is desirable to flash the stock (factory) rekaveri, then no problem can be used to reset the system from the Android menu and install the firmware update OTA (over the air).

Getting ROOT
For ROOT set out under TWRP (pre throwing off the memory card), this patch: Attached fileMagisk-v18.0.zip (3,99 MB)

Stokovye boot / recovery
from said EEPROM: Attached filestock.rar (22,75 MB)

What does not work:
1) Do not see "the internal memory" (can not decipher the "data" section and ask when starting TWRP password).
Solution:
download the patch: Attached filedisable_encryption_P60.zip (133.89 KB)
throw it on the memory card, boot into TWRP, go to the "mount" to put a checkbox on the vendor , then go to the "install" and install the patch.
After installation make data in the "cleaning" cleaning (possibly cleaning does not help but the formatting of data should definitely help)
after data manipulation TWRP be able to work with the data section
2) is not working USB / MTP mode into TWRP

Information for those who are "in the tank" :
When TWRP presence in the smartphone in any case and under no circumstances should you do reset through the system.
Resetting takes place only directly through TWRP (standard cleaning sections)
If you run the command via the android in the first place, it can not be executed because it does not understand the TWRP.
and secondly, you get a constant load in TWRP because it has not yet executed the command android you will always be send to recovery /
Solution for "tank": need to install flow-recovery to be completed through a reset command or cancel it.
Another solution I personally do not know
Just do not forget about gratitude : Jemmini,- for the compilation of the TWRP which served as donorUrree,- order TWRP and testing (nothing would have happened without it)Message edited Lomaster_Serg - 6.1.19, 03:02

[SOLVED} Help: IMEI disappeared after partitions disaster (LineageOS 17.1 on SM-A320FL)

Hello guys, first of all: thank you very much for your Forum; I'm learning a lot even if I remain a complete noob!
I'm trying to use LineageOS 17.1 (lineage-17.1-20210118-UNOFFICIAL-a3y17lte, recovery OrangeFox 11.01) on Galaxy A3 2017 (SM-A320FL), and I did something really stupid trying to make Link2App work.
I had problems to format properly the miniSD using Android's apps, and I could not remove the card from the phone (the slot's opening is damaged). So then I tried to format the card using ADB + BusyBox + fdisk, BUT I did it while I was distracted by other job's issues, and I didn't realize I was working on the internal SD instead of on the removable card (yes, complete idiot...).
Result: a brand new empty partition table in my phone, permanently stuck in Download mode (impossible even to power off it).
I tried to restore the phone using this procedure, but it failed midway. By the way, I could Odin-flash TWRP and then restore the partitions using the repartion script. Eventually, I fleshed my OrangeFox and LineageOS: the system is now perfectly working, but the phone doesn't recognize any more my SIM and IMEI (dialing: *#06#) is blank.
I had a Fox's "light" backup, but it didn't solve anything.
I'm still having the original box with the IMEI number on the label, but I didn't find a suitable procedure to use it.
Kies3: the SM-A320 phone seems too old to allow the Initialization procedure described here (yes, the phone was unplugged)
There are many apps promising miracles (for instance: ToolHero, MTK Engineering Mode, IMEI Generator Pro, EFT Dongle...); however, I tried some, and they seem to me just ****ty pieces of software, requiring the original system or dubious paid services.
Dialing codes* procedure (like Method 1 here). I cannot remove SIM or battery to complete the procedure. Besides, my phone doesn't react to the code; probably they are country or SIM specific...
Line command (terminal emulator or ADB): this seems to be the most promising method; however, the line
Code:
echo 'AT +EGMR=1,7,"MY_IMEI_NUMBER"'>/dev/pttycmd1
doesn't do anything on my device
IMEI generator: I tried to generate a new MP0B_001 file using this guide. The download link is broken, then I downloaded the files from another source, and I prefer to add to my system just the MPB_001, without flashing the "repair" tool. Besides, I don't have any /nvram folder in my $root/data/ directory... (the only IMEI related folder is in $root/eps/).
Any suggestion to solve this mess? Thank you very much!
Daniele

3 METHODS to restore your IMEI number on Android
Most people face a common issue with IMEI number that is losing them. Particularly, it happens when you get a locked second-hand mobile or in Mediatek devices.

Thank you very much for your answer! The 2-3 methods seem promising; however, I isolated the problem and solved it before receiving your message.
The problem: after messing with the partitions, I tried to restore my system, downloading the files via Freja. However, I select the wrong CSC, using my SIM provider code (TIM) instead of the generic code for Italy (ITV).
I noticed it exploring the light backup I had done in TWRP (only System partition): a CSC_version.txt was there, pointing to A320FLOXA9CTK1 (ITV version, while I restored using A320FLTIM8CTH1, TIM carrier version). ITV was also mentioned in the file $ROOT/eps/imei/mps_code.dat (dunno if this is relevant)
Solution: Odin + the right firmware did the trick. I had my IMEI back and the phone working, then I came back flashing TWRP, Orangefox and, eventually, LineageOS.
Everything is working now, and, of course, I backed up EPS partition (now).
Many thanks!
