Sonim XP8 (Root?)

[enderwap_and]

For this who uploaded the Android 10 System images thank you , can confirm for the USC variant VZW image loads and works perfectly had the 7.1.1 user debug issue where I couldn't go baackk to 8.1 could be this isn't a ATT brand my other sonim is still have to repair the baseband but will use the one posted. Here since I fixed mines using a custom qcn posted by one of the fellow members

So, for an AT&T - did u manage to upgrade/flash to 10 and have both SIMs working (baseband ok?)
If yes, can you please indicate exactly what image u used and what qcn for restored did u used?

Thanks and regards

I am interested in putting together a rawprogram0.xml for Sonim Android 10. With the phone in EDL mode, and doing the following

QSaharaServer.exe -p \\.\COM6 -s 13: prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf
GPTConsole COM6

I get the error message "Cannot find gpt_header in C:/Flashtools/"

What am I missing here? Thanks in advance.

Update: Got it. Nevermind.

I do not have the patch0 as I pulled this backup with the instructions on the first page. There should be a rawprogram0.xml file in the package but NO patch0. I am not sure how to get / create that. I can confirm that this does work for ATT phones but the phone needs to be unlocked from the network.

I have had some issues with the fastboot commands failing, I resolved this issue with a different usb cable. as for the "unlocked" I am referencing the ATT network lock pin not the bootloader lock, I have been able to do this carrier changing with the bootloader locked and unlocked using QFIL.

im following , both phones are unlocked the VZW android 10 claims the bootloader is locked even tho its unlocked on both phones im working on porting a android 10 twrp

We have success just have to figure out how to edit the mount points but I have tarp 3.7 up and running , still can’t flash system via fast boot working on doing so with tarp so we have a chance at running at least android Q GSI’s

 

[thenatti]

0mb is letting me know it’s not mounting properly will compare the original Twrp to this one

 

[thenatti]

does anyone have another android 10 variant ? to test the recovery works ( flashes/mounts system ) but wont boot on VZW build ( gives the cant be trusted phone wont boot error ) , it boots on the canada bell but never goes past recovery

 

[thenatti]

bricked flashing bell canada removed ( 0's ) from the end of files can only boot 7.1.1 lol this phone is weird af trying to install VZW keeps giving device is corrupted cant be trusted errror

 

[thenatti]

Does fastboot work? We also have an option to switch to recovery from within FastBoot if you can access that (Vol Down + Power).

An alternative method would be to erase userdata from within eDL mode. This can be done with the XML data below.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>
<erase SECTOR_SIZE_IN_BYTES="512" num_partition_sectors="96714719" start_sector="25427968" physical_partition_number="0" label="userdata"/>
</data>

this saved my life ( so discovery ) if your phone bootloops after flashing load this - tested with the VZW android 10 Build - currently flashing android 8.1 userdebug will upload the twrp 3.7 build later have to figure out how to add the a/b slot option , but the OG Twrp ive posted works fine will add some fixes like enabling adb,mtp

Im working on a Flashable.Zip via Twrp created the rom in Super R's Kitchen as a test no modifications but need someone to help me fix the updater-script ( keeps throwing error 7 ) some mount point flags can upload the zip for testing if anyone has resources and knowledge

 

[thenatti]

Here is the interface document for the XP7. It's probably the same on the XP5s and XP8.

i think you made a post a while back about compiling android 9 for this devices , could you tell me more about how you accomplished this and what do i need tool wise if so i might be able to assist in porting roms i have ubuntu on my macbook and windows 10 on my alienware , can send you the flashable zip i created i couldnt get passed an error 7 but the structure seemed like it would pass TWRP script check

Four. Qualcomm QCN
1. The most original qcn file of the project is to select a RF card driver that is close to the project motherboard from the Qualcomm original code (similar GPIO configuration and frequency band configuration), and use the QCN corresponding to the RF card driver as the basic QCN file. After adding the static radio frequency NV item and frequency band configuration, it can be used as a QCN configuration file, and the corresponding NV modification of the subsequent software can be modified through QXDM and then backed up from the mobile phone to QCN.

2. QCN tar package production process:
2.1 First define and open the macro FEATURE_EFS_ENABLE_FACTORY_IMAGE_SECURITY_HOLE in the modem code and compile the modem.
2.2 Take a machine and use the fastboot erase command to erase the existing qnc data in the mobile phone, use the QPST tool to burn the prepared QCN file, connect the mobile phone to the computer to open the diag port, and enter the modem side modem_proc/core/storage on the PC command terminal In the /tools directory, execute the perl efsreadimage.pl -z command, which will generate fs_image.tar.gz in the current directory, and copy fs_image.tar.gz to the modem_proc/core/storage/tools/qdst directory, in linux Execute python QDSTMBN.py fs_image.tar.gz in the environment. After completion, the fs_image.tar.gz.mbn file will be generated in the same directory.
2.3 Create a new folder create_efs locally on the PC side, and put the modem_proc\build\ms\bin\AAAAANAZ\efs_image_meta.bin file, fs_image.tar.gz.mbn file and \modem_proc\core\bsp\efs_image_header\tools\ on the modem side Copy all files to create_efs, execute efs_image_create.py efs_image_meta.bin fs_image.tar.gz.mbn in the windows command window, and the final QCN Tar package fs_image.tar.gz.mbn.img file will be generated in this directory if the command is executed successfully .

3. After executing the modem image file unpacking script when compiling the software version, add the prepared QCN tar package fs_image.tar.gz.mbn.img to the fsg partition in the generated download partition file rawprogram0.xml, so that Burn the QCN file by downloading the software.
