Flashing tool topic

so i used the FlashTool for flashing my android phone (xperia e1) but it didnt work it was stuck on 0%, i think it was because it said before "connected with usb debugging off" (although usb debugging is turned on in my phone). so any other flash software i can try for flashing my device?

[TOOL] [LINUX/MAC] Nexus Tools 2.4 (Featured by XDA) topic

Nexus Tools is an installer for the Android debug/development command-line tools ADB (Android Device Bridge) and Fastboot for Mac OS X and Linux. The script does not need to be downloaded, simply copy and paste this command into the terminal and run it to install Nexus Tools:

Code:

---

bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)

---

and this command to un-install Nexus Tools:

Code:

---

bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/uninstall.sh)

---

These commands will download the selected script and run it. The script will download the files it needs during runtime, so it requires an internet connection. The script works on both Mac OS X and Linux (as long as the curl package is installed).

Nexus Tools requires sudo privileges to install/uninstall the adb and fastboot tools to /usr/bin, so they can be run without typing the full directory. Nexus Tools is licensed under the GPLv3 license.

Xperia S stuck in Bootloop and not recognised by flash tool topic

Hi all,

I know the title sounds like this has been answered a hundred times already, but I can't really figure out what's wrong with my Xperia S.

So this morning I woke up and wanted to check my messages. As always I had my phone charging over night. When I unlocked my phone it just hang for a while and then shut down (with that fade out effect of the LCD). As it was still plugged in the phone immediately turned back on booting into "charging mode".

And that's were the misery began.... The phone always shows the Sony logo, then Xperia, then again fades out and reboots. the first thing I tried was a soft reset, but this didn't change anything, as well as unplugging and then soft resetting.

So I then did a hard reset so that at least the phone is completely turned off, however, no matter what I did afterwards I always get a bootloop. (like holding Volume UP/DOWN and the power button)

The ONLY thing that worked so far was turning the phone off using hard reset and then press and hold volume UP and then connect it to the PC. The phone then boots into charge mode.

However, the phone is not recognised in this state (I tried PC Companion and Sony's flash tool as well as ADB) so I cannot flash any ROM on it.

So at this point I just want to factory reset my phone, even though I still have some images on the phone id like to back up first....

Any ideas/tools which might help me?
(I have already read [GUIDE] Recover 2012 and newer XPERIAs from SOFT-brick and some other articles about this topic)

Information about my phone:
Xperia S (bought via Three Austria)
Stock ROM, rooted
latest Version of Android 4.1
version number should be 6.2.B.1.96 (but cannot check obviously)


Best regards and thanks in advance

[Tool] Signing tool for pre 3.2.4 booloaders topic

I am proud to present you my image signing tool called Cuber.
The name is an abbreviation of Cube Root finder. This is basically what the tool does.

About

This is a tool that checks and signs recovery/boot images for Little Kernel bootloaders missing the patch for for CVE-2014-0973.

Who is vulnurable?

Kindle Fire HDX tablets with firmware versions older than 3.2.4. On 3.2.4 it is NOT working.
Probably many devices using pre 13 June 2014 Little Kernel bootloaders. (no guarantees)

Requirements on an Ubuntu system:

Code:

---

gcc
libmpc-dev
libmpfr-dev
libgmp3-dev
libssl-dev
python
python-pip

---

Also the following python package is required:

Code:

---

gmpy2

---

install it using pip:

Code:

---

sudo pip install gmpy2

---

Installation

Download the source code from https://github.com/Verteo/Cuber to your desired folder, go to the folder and run make.

Usage

Code:

---

Cuber -check path/to/image.img

---

checks if the image would pass the signature verification

Code:

---

Cuber -sign path/to/input/image.img path/to/output/image.img

---

creates a signature for the given image and creates a new signed at the specified location

The files prodcert.pem and signature.py are required by the application to work

Why python?

It is easier to handle bignums in python than in c++.

The exploit

https://www.codeaurora.org/projects/...-cve-2014-0973
The bootloader is not properly checking the number of bytes decrypted from the signature. This allows us insert to garbage bytes and create a forged signature.
A PKCS#1 v1.5 padded signature starts with 00 01 PS 00.
PS is the padding string and consists at least of 8 FF bytes
After the start of the signature comes the 32 byte long SHA256 image hash.
So the decrypted (cubed) signature should look something like this:

Code:

---

00 01 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 xx xx xx xx xx
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx .. .. .. .. ..
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

---

Where xx is the hash and the .. are the garbage bytes.
The garbage byte can have an arbitrary value. We use them to create a perfect cube root.

Example

XT1021 Backup Tool topic

This recovery zip copies certain partitions to /cache.

The copied partitions are system-critical ones that aren't available online (thus no kernel, system etc as they can be easily obtained online, and are covered by Nandroid anyway; no bootloader as it's available from stock ROMs, it's not directly writable from the bootloader itself, and it's believed we don't have JTAG access anyway).

A practical application I just experienced is recovering from the "connected as installer" bug if you try to enable mass storage mode and now MTP breaks on every boot; other benefits are restoring MAC addresses (from persist partition) and IMEI (unproven).

Only tested on XT1021. A copy of the partition table (boot into recovery, "adb shell", "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0", "unit kb", "p", copy and paste output, "q", ctrl+D) is enough for me to determine compatibility, however!

Like the tool itself warns, it is to be used along with a file manager or ADB.
