We need a very skilled android programmer/hacker.... Vivo has placed an option under development settins "Allow bootloader to be unlocked", this should work in conjunction with bootloader, if we will know, what internal setting is modified with this switch, we can find, where in boot code that...
256 Gb is only chinese version. 128 Gb is enough for me.
Yes. But most of the chinese 128 gb phones was bought before any global version arrived. These peoples want to change to glodal rom. In some cases there was a fraud from chinese traders on aliexpress, selling chinese phone with manually...
The only way to flash global into chinese nex without entering EDL is to patch global images in such way, so the bootloader in chinese phone can recognize it like a chinese version.
To enter EDL, phone disassembling and using PCB tespoints is required. Maybe there is a way to enter EDL using...
Seems, all protections is inside of the device itself. It ignored all attempts, regardless of method of access. Only EDL mode can override this, but it can be accessed only from main PCB testpoints, and, maybe, using special service cable.
This is my guess for now. Because we try almost all software methods, and none works. Many last vivo phones had hardware EDL lock. Maybe vivo uses some kind of special USB cables or controllers to enter EDL, i dont know, but this is possibly. My friend from vivo SC in Russia saw, that he not...
AFT 5.1.11, that i have posted here before, is free from malvare. This video for it has been recorded by me. This is not cracked software, it was simply stolen from vivo service center by some insiders. AF tools cant load EX ROM into PD1805_A smartphone. We need patched images from Steve, so...
If you can do that way, AFT should see this ROM like it was PD1805_A, If so, we can load it into chinese phone. Today a 18.03 version update was released for chinese phones.
Have win 10 with embedded defender in it, no positive reaction to AFT. My video was recorded with windows defender active.
You can try change anything in QFIL, but it will not work without established connection to the phone via USB EDL com-port.
These service tools are very special and in...
The tool says, that you try to load in the phone an incorrect rom. You try to load PD1805_EX_A rom in an PD1805_A device. And says, that you can try to flash in 9008(EDL) mode. Yes, in this mode you can load emmc with any images, that fit in the corresponding partition. But we dont know, how...
Dont worry, we on the right way, we need time to break this security.
Flashing only system and data images cannot brick the phone, if it will not boot after this, recovery and bootloader will work and you always can load official firmware back.
