Tango on ATT Samsung Focus Launch Device

I was able to update the ATT Samsung Focus launch device to tango using the "force update" (disconnect while checking update after setting phone to airplane mode) when my brand was set to ROG-CA.
If you want to update, you need to install the samsung focus interop unlock
Run the Samsung Register XAP to set your phone branding to ROG-CA
Enable Airplone mode, connect to zune, disconnect during check for updates and patiently wait (and try again until it works lol)
No issues reported thus far, i did have 8107 and there were two updates applied when doing this method.

i also performed the same tasks and was able to update successfully. i had two updates as well. i have to windowbreak my phone again after the updates to set my carrier back to ATT-US
so far, all works well.

How to...Samsung Focus 1.3

Once you switch to ROG-CA, update and switch back to ATT-US is there anything else that needs to be done?
Also, does this work for both 1.3 and 1.4?

You're in the wrong place mate.
You need to be here:
"From there, use your favorite registry editor and flip HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator to a different mobile operator that is delivering the update to that device. For the Samsung Focus 1 on AT&T, that meant changing ATT-US to ROG-CA (for Rogers, a Canadian carrier). Once you have you valid registry key entered, pop your phone into Zune, and check for updates. After you update your device, be sure to change the registry back to the initial value, to assure that you receive any targeted updates in the future."

one quick and dumb question , 8107 is tango?

No, it was a post mango update. However the method of accessing the registry and the value you change remains the same regardless of which version you are running or try to upgrade to.
Just an FYI - I tried this about 20 minutes ago and cannot get my OG focus to upgrade using this method.

Unfortunately I had to revert back to Mango as Interop unlock is not working on this version

Its a known bug with the Tango update. There is a way to update and keep interop unlock using a prevent relock xap you can find on xda. Just search for relock xap in the WP7 development forum and I'm sure you'll find it.

I am afraid this may not work for this kind of update. In the first step they are asking us to disconnect your laptop from the internet. We need to internet to update to tango over Zune. So the link which you gave me works only if we install using cab's.. Correct me If I am wrong

I was under the impression it was the very last update after the Tango OS update being a SAMSUNG update causing the issue. THIS is the one that supposedly relocks the phone. Hmm, I wonder - now that you've been through the update procedure once whether the files are stored locally and you could do the update offline?
The alternative is to try the CAB file method.
Let me know how you go.

I stilldont understand the logic behind these updates. It worked previously. I mean when I changed operator name it showed that I have an update but today it is not showing. I take back what I said in my before post as I saw one of the use commenting like below
I just updated a easier way and worked fine.
Here the description.
Maybe some points are not necessary but this is how I tried.
- Download relockPrevent.xap and install on phone
- Add in the %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts: 192.168.1.1 developerservices.windowsphone...
- Turn on Airplane mode on your phone
- Turn off WiFi on your phone
- Update your phone with Zune
- If your phone restarts to install the update, disconnect your PC from Internet
- after update is installed, run relockPrevent.xap which is already installed an the phone
Now you can use your phone.
You have the update and it is still unlocked.

Good afternoon.
I come with the illusion that any developer can help users of LG P870, I wonder if someone could develop a way to install ClockworkMod recovery as custon able to use unofficial roms, and I am desperate for waiting to come out some method to free once and for all this great phone, the phone is becoming popular because it is inexpensive and is being distributed in the U.S. by AT&T and Telcel Mexico, please support us to all of us that we have this phone.
To add a little, this phone already has root method Bin4ry with a restore script via adb.

I would love for this phone to get unlocked with CWM. It's an amazing phone. We just need to pull everyone together that has one and get them on here until someone can help. I appreciate all of the devs on here and I hope we can get something going on this awesome phone.

Ditto.
Jelly Beans.... Optimus F5 has it. Escape is the same phone. Guess we wait. Hopefully, not as long like Optimus 3D/Thrill.

Disappointing
send an email to LG for a response on whether there would be an early upgrade of our model to Jelly Bean or at least unlocking the bootloader and this was his response:
Thank you for your interest about our mobile phone.
“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site(http://opensource.lge.com).
This site is just for providing source codes of FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) we have used in our product.”
We don’t have any detailed information about LGP870’s boot loader unlock.
If there is any news, LG will announce officially.
Please wait for more times.
We hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
simply a misfortune I regret having bought this phone from LG

No support
I contacted LG open source and the person that emailed me back said that the escape doesn't support bootloader unlocking.

Has there been any development on P870 so far? At least is there a way to get unbloated version of stock firmware or change the language of the OS?
It would be cool if there is at least a list of stuff we can safely get rid of? Or can we try to get a different version to remove all the crapware AT&T pre-loaded?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there has been no further development. I love this phone, but the lack of support is slowly making me go for either the optimus g or g2. Also as far as I know, there is no list. Its just trial and error I guess. I've personally tried to remove some stuff, but after a reboot it says security error. So certain things will cause a security error while others will be just fine. Btw, the only way (that I know of) to fix a security error is to use the lg support tool to recover your phone.

I see you are still using the device, any specific complaints about the software or the bloatware? Or are they just sitting there chilling until you actually run them? I know T-Mo had a bunch that were constantly running like T-Mo back up, My T-Mo, etc.. After the security error, was it a total restore/recovery or was it not destructive recovery? Sorry, I am not familiar with LG at all, coming from T-679 which was extremely flexible, this is a bit puzzling.
How about language, anyway to switch the language of the OS to something like German?

This is the same issue I am having is that it is coming up with that security error thing. I got into download mode and got the lg update program and every time it keeps stopping telling me to unplug and take out the battery and stuff. Just keeps doing it. Is there another way or is there something I am missing?
HELP PLEASE

Try putting your phone in download mode before using the lg support tool. That normally helps for me. Make sure you choose upgrade recovery in the options tab.

They don't run in the background unless you update them and set them up. I keep all the updates uninstalled and disable auto update so i don't have to worry about them. And yes it is a total recovery. Nothing is saved unless it is on your sim card or sd card. You can change the system language, but I don't see a german option. You might be able to download a language pack from the play store. I'll check into it and let you know.
P.S. sorry for the late reply..

Thanks! I am looking for German and Turkish.

Cwm recovery for the escape is finally here!!! The guy who made it also made a custom rom. I installed it and tested it. So far everything works (I don't use Bluetooth so I haven't tested that yet).

I went to try to install the recovery and rom. First question is, I skipped the driver install and rooting my phone because I am already rooted using motochopper. The f5_touch_ recovery.apk I was told to run does nothing? I tried extracting it and it swill doesn't run or bring anything up? Do I need a program to run this file or is it because I didn't use the method included to root? Then if that is the case and i'm successful at the recovery. What do I need to do to install the Rom?Please help ASAP! I have the recovery and ROM downloaded and saved waiting to install! Been waiting to do this forever so please help! THanks sooo much!

[Guide] Debranding to India variant BLN-L22 (successful case)- Noob Friendly

Update-
Please flash the OEMINFO and Custom bin from - https://mega.nz/#!qYtlzawK!Ab86GUO40JpUZ8scGnaIszhA-3gf6bN4NdfuHb8IeBU via TWRP
and then flash the B340 update.app file from download section via dload method. if you face any issue, follow entire guide for other way of doing this.
Initial credits to @uditshah for his guide and @sanjay.rup in sorting my issues at start itself while I was not sure whether to go or not and giving me correct oeminfo file. and all fellow members, and few to name @gopinaidu77 @adriansticoid @RedSkull23 who always helped/supported and encouraged me.
This guide will work 100% if followed correctly. This was tested myself couple of nights back and I successfully debranded or rebranded, as few say, to BLN-L22 from BLN-AL10.
Old version - BLN-AL10C00B379
New version- BLN-L22C675C340
Hi Folks,
Saw many post earlier on MM for debranding to other variant, especially from China variant to EU or Indian version and few of the worked FF but not for all. It never worked for Nougat and we all were struggling, at least to debrand China variant. So in this post, we will mainly focus on EMUI 5.0 or Nougat version for debranding. Few days back, a guide was posted which was very good and helped me to debrand mine. Yes, I faced few issues while following it and for once I was stuck with
Phone Locked
FRP Locked.
That was the moment I though It will never come up but yeah there was a hope as I never saw FRP on my Chinese variant and it all started from there and in this I will share the, almost full proof, detailed steps to debrand.
Prerequisites-
Have a full TWRP backup on your current model and store on PC/SD card.
Files for the new model (BLN-L22 variant)
Memory card with at least 8 GB space.
Firmware finder tool to get the files (preferable on PC)
Huawei multi tool
Working PC and of course, Honor 6X
Most important- PATIENCE. Do not panic. It will take max 2 hours including downloads, backup, restore, flash etc. (may vary depend on your download speed)
Shall we start? Let’s go further and do it now.
Downloads-
OEMINFO -https://mega.nz/#!eBECSYKZ!rte1IxPYuw3Y0NVcySOFy23tXWXoR6vBBo46iJ6JlEw
Main update.zip B340 version - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1190/g79/v94286/f1/full/update.zip
Data file for B340 (This is required for putting updater app and other stuff on phone or you won’t get updater)-
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...el_in/update_data_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip
Huawei Multi Tool- https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads (Version V7 zip)
Firmware Finder app on PC – this is not required as I have given the link above. You can still download it for future usage- http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/huawei-firmware-finder/ (download for PC) or direct link- http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/GetLatestVersion.action
Steps-
Unlocking bootloader/rooting and MT tool instalaltion-
Unlock your bootloader, flash custom recovery and root it with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822
Backup backup backup your current phone in TWRP.
Installation of Tool installation and backing up current OEM Info file-
Download Huawei Multi Tool from this XDA thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923 , direct download link https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads select V7 zip, extract it and go to the folder.
Run by double clicking the bat file as below
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once the tool is running you will see the device connected as below (It will show your phone’s serial number) – Note: (I have not connected my device here, as I dindt was to flash the file again, so it wont show any device ID and just a random data)
Follow step by step images below to backup your current oeminfo file (path of the backup is the folder where you ran the bat file above\backup) in my case it was C:\Users\Downloads\Compressed\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT\Backup
Changing vendor/country- input 7
Selecting device- input 6X or 6x
Save or restore OEMINFO - input 1
Saving OEMINFO- input 1
Confirmation screen for saving the OEM INFO File.
Just make a copy of this file to some other folder, as same folder will be used for a new oeminfo file for new model.
Till now, we have just backed up ourselves so that in case we run into a situation where unbale to boot further or stuck, this will be handy to restore.
Let’s proceed with actual rebranding now.
Extract the Main zip file, you will get 4 files as below, copy all of them to SD card/ External memory card under “dload” folder.
Extract the Data file zip, you will get 5 files as below, copy all of them to SD card/ External memory card under “dload-data” folder.
Rename the downloaded oeminfo file to oeminfo: oeminfo-BLN-L22C675B340.zip -->> oeminfo.zip
Copy the OEFMINFO file for new variant (BLN-L22) to backup folder of Multi tool where you backed up the original oeminfo of your original model. (above path - C:\Users\Downloads\Compressed\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT\Backup)
Run the Huawei multi tool again same as above but this time, instead of backup of oeminfo, it will be option 2 to restore the file.
It should show the progress and confirm the download/restore complete. If this is failed, PELASE DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER and ask in comment section below.
Once OEMINFO restore is successful, you have the oeminfo of new version flash on your model.
Now reboot to fastboot, you will most probably see below status (don’t panic that’s normal now)
Phone- LOCKED
FRP- LOCKED
Remove the USB and Power off the phone by pressing power key now.
Use dload method now i.e. press Volume up + Volume down+ Power key together. Stock recovery should start flashing the files (Note- Do not just put the Update.app in dload and need all 4 files mentioned above)
Phone will verify the package and start installation. It will take only couple of minutes for 100% flash and phone will reboot.
Phone will boot but most probably give you the black screen only, for few minutes. Just waif for 3-4 minutes. (as mentioned, do not panic here as well)
Press power key to turn off the phone.
Take out the memory card and delete dload folder or rename to “dload-main”.
Rename the folder “dload-data” to dload.
Insert the SD card.
Use dload method now i.e. press Volume up + Volume down+ Power key together. Stock recovery should start flashing the files (Note- Do not just put the Update.app in dload and need all 5 files mentioned above)
This will take 30-40 seconds maximum to flash.
Once this is flashed, phone will reboot and ask you to set up the phone.
Unlike the China variant or other which may or may not ask for Google account setup, this may ask but you can skip it by skipping the Wi-Fi connection and removing the sim card so that no data is there to connect.
Follow the on screen instruction and Setup the phone.
BINGO. You are on BLN-L22 now and it will support Jio VOLTE and other stuff that other Honor 6X phones has for BLN-L22 (you are no longer other BLL, BLN model anymore and on BLN-L22)
This took me exactly 207 minutes to compile this guide and then 15-20 minutes in drafting on XDA, after I personally faced many issues but as mentioned, do not panic and proceed step by step and you would achieve what you wished for. Comment below on your experience and share if any modification is needed to the guide, I will do, but as per my knowledge, this is what I could prepare best for any NOOB user who doesn’t even know what root or anything is.
Share your thoughts on guide and ask any question when you stuck. ​
Note-
This was tested from BLN-AL10 to BLN-L22
This may work from any model/variant to BLN-L22 (most probably without any issues)
This should work for all BLL models as well, because there are no restriction on Hardware part.
Good luck and enjoy.​

Yes you can. BLN and BLL is just a model name given by Huawei to region specific but no software or hardware changes.

So have you tried installing a custom ROM again?

Hehe yes it should work for sure unless we are unlucky.

I don't have experience on debranding, but if once i'll ever need to do it, here is where i'll surely come. The guide is done very well: listed on steps like you did with the help of detailed images, makes practically impossibile to make errors even to the best noob on earth, making it as you said 100% working so. Excellent work mate, respect!

I am hoping to try and attempt this but would like to have a contingency plan just in case... Is there a link to download the full os for a BLN-AL40?

Hello, I have a Nokia G10. I would like help to have a custom ROM possibility like Lineages OS.
Would it be useful to do something?

Ah, the best would be a lineageos rom for Nokia G10 TA-1334, with a TWRP and the flash procedure that goes with it, but for the moment I only have the phone and some motivation.
If I can dump files, provide data to help, I volunteer and maybe even build the custom rom. But I'm aware that we need root privileges, and build a TWRP too.
I am a novice. Sorry if I misunderstood what is needed to port a new smartphone.

Hello, my Nokia G20 is write on the back TA-1365 , but after fresh installation with this firmware always get stuck on logo android one. To work properly I needed to change the preloader file to a variant TA-1336 and work. is it normal?

hi i am trying to FRP erase as i can not get to phone there is lockscreen. My newphiew doesnt remember the unlock numbers! So i am familiar with recovery and flashing but this is so strange phone!
I can not get to recovery only in fastboot mode. I have mediatek drivers but still i cant flash with flashtool and i tried HMD Device kit as admin but i dont have permissions.
So is it problem that there is no usb debugging enabled? or why i can not use your tool... i am so tired i have done almost everything.
Any clue on how to get firmware or delete lockscreen?

You can definitely unlock your device but you would need to disassemble the device and then short the test point so that you can unlock your device.
HMD Device Kit is not a free software and Nokia Care Centers are only able to access it but outsiders do have access to the software who charge heavy fees.

If you want to unlock your device without opening it please let me know I will help you unlock it using authorised software and I will bear the cost of the unlock.

I am not trying to open the device. I thought that the zip above was just fine because i downloaded the issue was that i do not have permission i guess, that is the message i get.
So i will try if i can flash firmware from fastboot mode.
No need to bear any cost to a stranger pal like me!
If you have any advice or something to share that would be awesome.

You cannot flash or unlock your phone without unlocking bootloader of the device unofficially.

so do you have any guide?

Question No IMEI and unknown baseband on Mi 11x

Hi
My Mi 11x suddenly stopped showing IMEI & baseband version, getting No service and sim cards are not detected. I tried the following.
1. Reinstall latest MIUI using Recovery ROM
2. I have unlocked the bootloader and tried to Flash using the latest Miui using MiFlash tool.
Can you guide me with next steps on how to proceed here.??

On your own is impossible , send it to service center and they'll fix it for you is still within warranty.
If it is not in warranty then get ready to find guys with authorised edl accounts to do the flashing for you.
They will charge you money for that and guide you trough the process.
Again you can't do it by yourself.
Someone correct me pls if i'am wrong.

The device is Out of warranty, tried with the service centre, they flashed the device once with latest MIUI, its unsuccessful. They said, motherboard has to be changed and charges are around 23k.
I should be able to do it, let me know if there are any steps / guide. where i can refer to?

I would have definitely provided you the file but I don't have access to download the file from my current package through halabtech.
I would have to buy the package for $59.00 but I can only buy it on 11 March 2023.

You don't need to change the motherboard.

Hi mvikrant97 - Thanks for your reply. I can wait till 11March, but I can also see that the engineering ROM for Mi11x is available at this website. Can we trust this? If yes, what steps should we perform? Please help.

You need to know some basics about the engineering rom. Head to YouTube and learn, because you have to write manually the IMEI numbers. You will be able to find those IMEI numbers at the phone box provided.

I agree. I have gone through few videos and forums to understand what engineering ROM is and learning is a ongoing/never ending process .
I couldn't find steps on how to flash the engineering rom (NOT sure, if i can use MiFlash tool similar to flashing fastboot rom).

Since you already have unlocked the bootloader, it will be easy for you. Just flash it using same method like how you flash the original firmware

Yes there you go. You have an unlocked bootloader so now you can flash the ROM using fastboot mode.
Download Xiaomi Redmi K40/POCO F3/Mi 11X Engineering Firmware ROM
I have also attached the QCN file for the phone to restore IMEI.
Please PM Kevin mitnick and he will help you out.

That's why I love the XDA community with no monetary benefits in sight but they care for each other.

Sure, i am trying to get help from Kevin mitnick. I did the following
1. I have temporarily rooted the device using magisk
2. As per his recommendation, I am using this tool to open the diag port and update the QCN file.
3. I am getting following error using QPST and QFIL Tools
QFIL Error:

Not sure, if i am missing something.

Can someone help me on how to proceed further

As far as I know you need to have an authorized Xiaomi account to be able to use QPST.
That is why I told u that you need a guy with an authorized Xiaomi account who can do the flashing for you.
You can search for these guys on the internet or on Telegram.
Costs from what I read 15 to 20 € wich is not that much for a working device.
I'am not promoting paid services here on XDA, just sharing my experience.
I'am only aware that it was possible to fix on older devices than the Poco F3, on older MIUI and Android versions.
And I still hope that i'am wrong bout what I'am saying and you get it fixed without having to pay money for a fix.
But I never had that issue on Android and so i'am not able to help you.

He may use the tools like Xiaomiking tool and Xiaomi Fire Tool both which are paid tools.
Yes we don't promote paid tools here but the thing is we need to fix the device somehow.
