Any way to bypass Xiaomi's Bootloader unlock process? (discussion) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Is it possible to crack the miflash_unlock.exe? Or anyone is familiar with reverse engineering?
sign is local or must by internet? Anyone who can unlock Bootloader with no waiting time can tell me something?

You cant crack it because its server based.. you need internet for it to check if you are allowed to unlock. Just wait

if only check you can just jump the instruction. if we know the correct information. maybe we can crack the exe and unlock any device.

That's a good news that someone else thought of that. what's the problem?or where is the difficulty? I have tried to modify the exe, ( I changed the flow and give the sign result 0, of course that's not enough) but I do not know if it is possible. maybe we can try.

good

I also thought of that but my dissembler skills are weak, any game unlocckers sure can test... but i think to ser base of this phone is very high and some might have tried it too.

Not possible at all, even though I've heard there are unauthorised unlocking softwares available online but I highly suggest u stick to MiFlash and go through he waiting period

It will not unlock at all. You need the unlock key, which comes from the server. The server first checks whether the particular account with this device has completed, required no of days. If yes, then it will send the unlock key. You might think, I can skip the checking, but even the checking happens online.

Well yes, to unlock the phone fastboot needs a oem bootloader unlock code which only mi knows and probably is a function of imei / serial of the phones.
Cracking a exe may let you land into instruction to try unlocking ( without contacting srver) but then you wont have the code to pass as parameter to oem unlock

SE Update Engine

Watching the Sony Ericsson PC Application on a repair today I noticed that it was downloading and installing an update engine.
Maybe I'm day dreaming but I believe this will hold the key to the bootloader issues. This engine should be what's controlling the bootloader while loading to OS image to the Qualcomm chip.
So my hypothesis is that if we can pull this update engine out of the application by removing the rest of the application we can use the tools and UI from any of the DEV or HTC ROM loader applications to control said engine. Basically what we'd be doing is taking their tool and wrapping a new shell around it to control what we need and are legally entitled to make our devices do.
Thoughts?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
============================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOLLOWING TWO PAGES OF YOUR RESPONSES:
Okay guys. The secret to the bootloader is actually inside of the PC Companion application with SEUS. We need to figure out how to wrap a different Windows UI around this. Basically take all the critical guts and use the RUU loader found on device sites like Rhodium, HD2, etc... and only use it's UI. So to get this is there a way to watch in real time what files PC Companion and SEUS are downloading while in the repair stages of operation?
If this is not possible we need to remember that SE develops a lot more Symbian than Android. Some of the chip security could be the same found in those devices. I've included a link that may help guide us. I haven't wrapped my head 100% around this concept but at least I have a strong grasp on solutions!
http:// developer. symbian. org/wiki/index.php/What_are_the_product_development_kits%3F
This product development kit is geared towards hardware and if you scroll down some will see details on accessing the Kernel Taster Kit which is a subset of the PDK which enables the creation of new baseports and device drivers. Because SE is probably using a BIOS designed for Symbian this could likely help us with our quest. Or ultimately give us a big FU to Sony and give us Symbian 3^ on our Xperia... so basically one hell of a sweet as Vivaz. The Mini Pro could replicate the Vivaz Pro.
Hey, the idea is nice. But Basically thats what was done with X10flash. X10flash is based on SEUS, it takes all update functions out of SEUS and lets us flash what we want to.
The Problem is that there is no function for flashing the Bootloader.
We have the loader.sin which controls the flashing on phone itself. What is needed is a loader.sin which unlocks Bootloader or or or
So the idea is not bad but was there before And X10flash is the result

Why X10flash need the DeviceID, and SEUS not ?
I try to find a way to flash without DeviceID... is it a dream too?

Flashing with a DeviceID would be tricky since you need to know what hardware the program should speak with. SEUS probably finds out the ID automatically while we have to find it manually.
then who had work about this problem ?
i want to help him... i want to know what ways are already searched... to don't loose my time in theses bad way ...
So now I have a question...
If we need to change the bootloader in order to get new roms, then why do Sony not need that?
An other thing, how is the bootloader locked, is it a des-key or what?
I am just trying to understand the problems here...

SEUS has an automatic detection, but is is tricky to find, because we can only decompile the java JAR's which are located in plugins folder. If you decompile them you get only function names like a b c d e f g etc. And because of this its very hard to follow these.
So DeviceID is the minior Problem we have, so we don't spent time in automatic detection as we have a method with decon, grep and cut. (I think this is totally okay for now) If we have finally a way around BL we can spent more time in making the flashin Process with X10flash more cute.

Because the firmware is signed
The problem is less the flashing. Even if we can flash what we want the Bootloader checks the signature on every boot, so we are running the wrong way to think about altering the flash process. We must look in other areas.

had you try to switch the X10 BL with an another device with same specs ?

Any luck on disassembling the BL? If we're insanely lucky then all that sets the retail loader apart from the dev loader is a debug flag or something. It would seem counterintuitive to write a complete separate bootloader just for development when the standard qualcomm should work just fine.
Even if we don't have access to the unsigned loader from SE we could perhaps compare the X10 bootloader with the stock one from Qualcomm's SDK and if those look similar. If the SE one is a modified version of the reference BL we might be able to figure out what bits to flip in order to enable debug-mode.

So if I understand correct (I probably don't), then the more updates Sony put out, the more likely it is that we can figure out how the lock works ?
All the updates from Sony should pass that lock in order to work, right?

Yep thats what i'm trying. The original Qualcomm does not load, but we must have some value which can be set on S1Loader because if you take a look with a simple hexeditor then you see some normal strings which are about Debug etc.
So feel free to help me pushing the Loader through IDA or smth. to find a way to do smth.
I think if we can manage to find the DBG value we could be lucky and get the S1Loader switch our normal BL to DEV or DBG mode.
Worth a try

No sorry. There is no way to crack the key. Its to hard encoded, with actual power of Computers you will calculate the key for approx 10^27 years
Even if you have 1000 updates :/

Thank you for the answer...
Someone have cracked lots of other stuff in the past, eg satellite and a lot other things, so if someone can setup a search engine, perhaps we can all help... it COULD be hard, but no one know for sure...
But that offcource means that we need to know exactly what we are looking for...
Is it kind of a management key or?
Not that I know anything about searching offcource...

Hello Binary,
When you try to flash a new boot loader does it check that you're flashing a valid loader or will it let you flash anything you want? And if you were to flash anything you want (even just a whole load of 0s) would that mean that your phone would be destroyed or is there a recovery method? Can you simply write back over it with a good loader?
Also, has anyone read out the SE loader? And if so can it be disassembled? And if that has been done, roughly how many lines of assembly code is it?
Sorry about all the questions but I'm interested in this stuff but it's awkward to find a good starting point.

Is there a way to unlock the Galaxy Light to use on another Carrier manualy?

I bought a sgh-t399n at a garage sale recently and quickly rooted the phone and installed TWRP Recovery and CM12 on it. I called Metro and T-Mobile ( After flashing their firmware) for the unlock code but of course they refused to give it to me. So i tried 2 or 3 different unlock by IMEI websites as well as every single unlock app and software I could find while running logcat. The best lead I've gotten was the S.G.S. Unlock Tool app. It says it found the code but the results are null. In the logcat the system denies permission saying that the app was sending request as -2 when it was 0 and that it needed "android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" to accsess the info. Now I'm not a Dev by any definition of the term, nor am I any kind of hacker but I have learned a good bit from these forums over the last couple of years and my gut tells me this can be done with a little patients and some help from the good folks at XDA. Any imput on the subject is greatly appreciated.
You won't be able to unlock on CM12, have to have the stock firmware and OS installed.
yeah install stock system and any code should work without issue
If you unlock on stock system and then flash cyanogen, will it be fine?

The unlock code must be hidden on one of the partitions of the device it's self though right? Possibly in the EFS partion? Also how would i change thepermissions of an app to allow in to interact acroo all users?
Whether or not the code is in EFS, you still can't unlock on CM.
No I understand that. It is currently on the T-Mobile stock T399 firmware flashed with odin but still could not get an unlock code . Also i would like to learn to unlock these phones for future devices.
So it is not requesting an unlock code when you have a non T-Mobile SIM card installed? How odd... It should. If not, either it's already unlocked, or something else is going on. Have you tried both the Metro and Tmo firmware? Only the newest T-Mobile and Metro phones are not supported by unlocking via code as they use the Unlock app. As far as unlocking yourself, your best bet would be to get an unlock box like z3x or Octopus if you plan on doing a lot of them. If it's just 1 every year or 2, then it wouldn't make sense. Some phones have ways to unlock via root and hacks, but not all and it is becoming less common now as more manufacturers are making the ways to unlock more difficult either via encryption or other means.
The unlock companies I tried were unable to get a code by imei. Therefore I was never able to put in a real code. I've looked in to the z3x but it is way outta my price range as I am only a novice tinker. I just figured since the code must be in the programing of the phone somewhere then it was just a matter of locating the partition and file in which it was hidden and then decoding it. Is it possible to change an apps or users permissions? If so how?

I believe the app Root explorer allows you to change permissions on items.
It does, but nothing Root Explorer can do will help you find an unlock code, unfortunately. If the phone does not ask for a code when inserting another carrier's SIM, then that's the issue that would need to be resolved before anything else.
Sorry if I've been unclear. The phone dose ask for a code when a sim from a different carrier is put in but after trying 3 unlock by IMEI companies none of them were able to generate a code by IMEI. As for the permissions issue, I have an app that claims to find the codes but only says "null" in the results column. After going through the log cat it says the app is running as user 0 but is requesting info as user -2 and that it needs the permission " INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" to show the info. So i was hoping to learn how i grant said app that permission and see if it would show the code?

Could anyone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me a working unlock code for my metro pcs phone email me [email protected] or [email protected] thank you.
Running into the same problem only im on a non rooted system. I need a solution to get the codes needed to unlock it from T-mobile and need them without running hardware as all i have is hardware from the old days. Software would be a choice if anyone knows of anything reliable. Services I am also willing to pay for if cheap and working.

Samsung Galaxy A10e - Is this the right place to be???

Hi!
I recently purchased a Verizon-build Samsung Galaxy A10e (the "economy Flagship" / little-brother of the A10) but XDA has very little information on this phone. Would this be the best place to try to find/request information?
Thanks for your help!
where can i get more developer information on this phone
Give it some time before developers start posting, since the phone was released only a couple of monthes ago. It will be a good minute before you start seeing significant posts for the galaxy a10 e. Keep updating by searching on a regular basis. Check howardforums or android central as well.
On another note:
Some of us need to know the a10e galaxy update to android 10, anyone got then lastest news on that yet? I got one with metro pcs.
Thx
Sent from my SM-A102U using Tapatalk
yea like alot of sites keep saying galaxy a10e will not be getting android 10 and one ui 2.0 but the fail to see samsung own site says they will probavly in may or june of 2020
Also using an SM-A102U device, I believe the official Android 10 date is sometime in the first half of 2020. I believe March.
What would really help us is pHH-Treble support for these devices and Android 10, which I can't find any info for, aside from a GSI post on the Galaxy a20, which has (essentially) the same Exynos chip.

It's not off exactly. Kinda reminds me of system crash on eng fac roms. I've seen articles about older devices and it meaning no battery or no charging like you say. Guess I got over excited for nothing lol. Though it might be a hackable situation etc or different mode of some kind.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yea.. and fyi, a common misconception is "eng fac" roms are two completely different things lol.. it's a pet peeve of mine which I owe to all the firmware sites and generic "guides" on the web lol.
They always refer to factory/combo roms as "eng" when they are not eng at all.. fac roms are debuggable (ro.debuggable=1) and permissive and adb enabled by default and dmv disabled with a bare bone os mainly used for testing or fixing issues with the device.
Eng on the other hand is typically a stockish build with su binary by default (allows actual adb root shell) is permissive, verity disabled, contains other high level engineering software etc etc that is supposed to be used by engineers to test their software and things of that nature. My sampwnd root for s8/s8+ for example used eng system.img to gain root. Older devices did have eng boot.img many used to root devices but since s8 and newer they are no longer used because samsung implemented security measures to where u cant flash or run them without an eng token and device being in actual eng mode. Eng tokens are hard to find as they are device specific and need to be generated on samsung servers at which if u can find someone willing to make one they are usually expensive since they need to have a legit business, purchase a signing cert from samsung to be able to generate eng tokens as well as they typically need to also pay for each individual token which just the signing cert alone I've heard various prices from thousands to 100k lol. Then after all that if you have an eng token and device is in eng mode then it's not the same as a bl unlock as you would need to flash eng firmware which is another adventure to locate and probably another pretty penny.
Rant on eng/fac differences is over lmao.
On a side note, I'm working on something that "might" work... according to my dev buddies it will work.. it's a process tho as I need to generate some custom files and I never did this before (I mainly use usa locked snaps) .. but if all goes as planned with some trickery could probably unlock the bl and at the very least root the device.. stay tuned lol

I also tried (with my limited knowledge here) to enable OEM bootloader unlock by changing the settings flag in the phone but have not had luck. I talk about what I tried to do/have a screenshot showing where the system has it looked in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rint-oem-lock-developer-t3963898/post80909957
I have also looked at using Tasker/other tools to try to change something here or to see if there's an intent or action or something that will trigger the unlock but haven't had luck.
timba123 said:
So since this is the only A10e root thread. I'll post here. After browsing the internet I found out that Samsung changed some security. Now fac combo cant be flashed with 3.14 odin which newer devices like our A10e will not work with odin 3.13 and before patched or not. A new odin needs to be made. Patched. And the new Security for samsung.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This isnt new information. I do not think a new/patched odin will work since it uses a token system. Trying to flash will say you need approval to use factory binary.
With that being said you can use a factory bin token which will then allow you to flash combo rom.
There are ways to bypass need for a token but they are not public.
Also tokens are device specific and if you can find someone to get them they are not free.
Side question that's not totally related but I'm finding conflicting answers online:
Does the A10e NOT have USB-OTG capabilities? :-/
I don't have a USB-C OTG cable to test myself. I realize this phone purposely does not have some features/capabilities that I guess are supposedly deemed more "premium," in order to keep this phone in a class I've heard described as "Economy-Flagship," (lol ). Hence: no wireless charging, no fingerprint reader, no gyroscope, no proximity sensor (this exclusion is kind of annoying - surely I can't be the only person experiencing the annoying phenomenon of chronic cheekbone-call-muting? ). But overall, I'm super happy with this phone!
I also wish I could disable Knox but I don't think that's possible without the OEM bootloader unlock setting enabled.

So my question is ... Can i force an instalation of other rom? in sammobile is a international rom, so, even if i can't unlock the oem , can i install it? is there a way to root the device without the oem unlock?

nope.. otp more of a one time password.. the token is something that uses device specific identifiers that then gets sent to a server where it gets signed and sent back.. then it needs to b physically flashed to the device

bootloop

Hi! I have a big problem. I have a Chinese version of the phone without google services. I tried to flash the firmware from the motorola and it worked, but since when the bootloader is unlocked, google pay does not work, I blocked it with the fastboot oem unlock command and that was a mistake. after which he broke.
I've tried recovery mode / factory mode in fastboot, but it still goes into bootloop.
I have downloaded the firmware, and have my 20-character alphanumeric code to unlock the device bootloader.
When I enter this code in ADB using fastboot oem unlock CODE it says 'Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer'.
But I can't Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android settings as I can't boot the phone, and I never 'Checked it' when the phone was working properly.
Is there anyway to 'Allow OEM Unlock' while the phone is in fastboot mode, without being able to boot the phone properly?
Any attempt to flash the phone with native firmware or any other leads to the message "FAILED (remote failure)"
i'm tried different options with xda but nothing helps ... do I really have to throw the device in the trash ... it makes me very sad.
I can't believe that the manufacturer didn't come up with a normal recovery option.
I will be very grateful for your help.
What is the bootloader status? if it is Flashing_Locked, then its a high chance that isn't fixable, like my G6 Plus, i tried everything, but nothing appears to help. My phone is on the wardrobe, just waiting for some expert to come with a solution to this...

there must be a way by using EDL or JTAG pins to unlock it since motorola doesn't want to share stock factory images to us. I don't think the solution is going to be available soon, so just try to play dumb with motorola and get a replacement...

unfortunately my phone is no longer under warranty. Yes, and I tried EDL, it doesn't work. Bootloader lock is too good

Sadly mine is also no longer under warranty... About EDL, i don't mean blankflashing it, instead there must be a way to access the bootloader lock related partition directly from the EMMC then unlocking it...

I think that if this happens then the protection of all devices will be compromised and the manufacturer will definitely not want it. most likely the phone died forever

yea it was a bad call from my side... So i was doing a quick search here and i found something that can be useful
the Medusa JTAG Pro Box can skip the "permission" thing and flash the stock, but its kinda expensive in my country and i don't know anyone that has it...

gave the phone to a local service, maybe they have something similar. I'll tell you the result within two days

Question bootloader unlock

Hello Everyone,
is there a proper way to unlock the bootloader of the xperia pro-i? The sony webpage doesnt have this model available for the code request, so i'm a bit lost on how to do this. Thanks a lot for your help!
actually figured it out - on the sony site you can simply select the xperia 1 III, enter the imei and it will give you the correct code. Also if you want to relock the bootloader its the same command just with lock: fastboot oem lock 0x[your code]. Hope it helps.

I tried this and did get an unlock code, but when I went through the procedure on the Sony website it returned "no" meaning my bootloader cannot be unlocked. Did you get this result and how did you get around it?

I got a code selecting xperia 1 IV. Threw my valid and some random imeis with the last digits altered at it and it seems to always give the same key (17E1B6ED42D0F719), you could just try that maybe? (at your own risk, I know nothing about this stuff) Haven't been able to use it yet myself, as I have some fastboot driver issues to solve first... xD

No. I have learned that the US version of this phone (XQ-BE62) appears to be the only one that can't be rooted. Thanks Sony.
