We will be attempting to cook a Service Rom that can be used for unlocking / unbricking. :cowboy:
A lot of progress has been made and I will now try to add all downloads to the project in an organized manner.

The Why

Before we get started

Before we get going lets take a step back to define the problem related to the Verizon HTC Desire 526.

1) Verizon devices do not allow you to unlock the bootloader using the HTC-DEV site.

2) The ENABLE OEM UNLOCK option does not exist in the Developer Options of the Desire 562.

We can circumvent this by changing the 00 to 01 last byte of the FRP partition (FRP.img)
This will let you generate a bootloader unlock code using fastboot.

Code:

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

3) HTC-DEV rejects the unlock token because the CID VZW_001 or VZW_003 is not allowed to be unlocked.

4) You cannot change your CID unless you have s-off.

5) There is 1 RUU that i have for the desire 526 Verizon. It is labeled OM for Other Model.
This RUU has the enable_oem_unlock option.
This RUU has a non verizon CID so you can generate a unlocktoken.bin
The problem is that you can't flash this RUU unless you are Super CID.

To unlock the bootloader without special tools here is what needs to happen.
A) Must modify last byte of FRP. ( We can do this )
B) Change the CID ( WE cant do this )
C) Replaces B....... Edit the pg2fs partition. ( We can edit the image but we cant flash it )

So in a nutshell we need to figure out one of the following.
How to change CID.
How to flash pg2fs on a locked device
How to re-encrypt a de-crypted ruu and flash it with the device S-on.
How to pull the unlocked files from my unlocked device and flash them to a locked device.

This is where I believe a QPST flash able rom ( or even just the partitions we need) may work.
Since the bootloaders ect will come from my device or the unlocked ruu the signing of the files is not a issue.
The bad thing is if the FIREHOSE could need to be signed by HTC Keys or QPST will not be able to flash the device. ( Testing Soon )
We will get more into that as we go. This could work but it might not. At any rate it will be fun to try and might lead to more possibilities.

CAF Source

Ok so if your lucky enough to get what you need.
Then get the CAF source. ( WHAT Manifest / Branch ?? )

So then you need to look for the CAF Manifest "RELEASE"
LA.BR.1.2.3-09910-8x09.0-1*

https://wiki.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release

This one is a exact match. We will start with it. However we could very well use a newer release as well.
For now we will stick with the match. We can expand our horizon later.

September 03, 2015 LA.BR.1.2.3-09910-8x09.0 msm8909 LA.BR.1.2.3-09910-8x09.0.xml 05.01.01

First you must have installed git.
Then you can download the source by doing.

Code:

repo init -u git://codeaurora.org/platform/manifest.git -b release -m LA.BR.1.2.3-09910-8x09.0.xml --repo-url=git://codeaurora.org/tools/repo.git --repo-branch=caf-stable

Code:

repo sync

I will get the RUU's up.
Download all of this stuff and then we are just about ready to get COOKING. :highfive:

Unlockable_RUU / Device Backup Complete.

Full Backup-Stock Able To Unlock Bootloader-s-off-supercid.
~~http://www.mediafire.com/file/h37q6893qxr3j9j/526_UL_Pull.zip~~
Removed Link to post a clean backup from a fresh install.

This is the upload of my complete unlocked device.
My device is Bootloader Unlocked and S-OFF.
This is a backup of the 526 running the General "OM" UNLOCKED RUU.

The commands used to pull the backup using a TWRP shell.
If you do this with the device running change external_sd/ to /sdcard2/

Figure out how to get this on a locked device and you will have a unlocked bootloader.

BigCountry907 · Jan 29, 2017

Full Backup-Stock UNABLE TO UNLOCK
UPLOADING NOW

This is the upload of my complete LOCKED device.
My device is Bootloader LOCKED and S-ON.
This is a backup of the 526 running the VZW STOCK RUU.

The commands used to pull the backup using a normal root shell wile booted.
If you do this with the device running change external_sd/ to /sdcard2/

Kernel source code

Here is my source code for the kernel.
It builds without error.
Still needs some work but not too bad of a start.

Download the zip.
If you clone it the version gets messed up.

Full Unlocked EMMC Backup Image

FULL EMMC BACKUP UNLOCKED / SUPER CID / S-OFF
~~http://www.mediafire.com/file/n8yaqtacaf3od21/526-DD-EMMC.zip~~
Removed link to post backup from a fresh install

This is a complete emmc backup of the full 8GB Emmc.

That means it contains the GPT Header and Partition Information.
The GPT Partition Table can be dumped from this file and also directly read from this file.

The GPT Partition Table can be pulled on the device as well.
And by the way. The GPT_Main-8g.img that you see in the Unencrypted Unpacked RUU.
Well that is the GPT Partition Table from the factory. WAHoooooo.

If you look around you will not find much info on generating the Partition.xml
That's why most will never even attempt this. ( I have the method down to a science )

The other thing needed done here is to make a full EMMC backup of a locked device.
Then we can use the diff command to find the differences in the code between a locked device and a fully unlocked device.

Once we know what it takes to flash a fully unlocked device ( Upon Flash Completion ).
We can polish up the partition.xml and generate a full rom flashable in Emergency Download Mode..

Some may fear bricking their device.
The thing you should know is if you are running linux.
We can create the rom package from the partition.xml.
And flash it to a sd card in a card reader for verification.

This way we can evaluate the disk structure and verify that the sd card is an exact clone of the device emmc.
After we achieve that then we can flash a real device with confidence.

Breakdown of the Raw GPT.

We can View the Emmc Backup image in a hex editor and decode the GPT.
There are easier ways but we will start out here. I have tools that aren't doing too bad of a job but when it comes to getting the GPT correct we need to be really really sure.

Here is the Breakdown of the GPT Partition Table.

Have Fun, :good:

Here is the RUU for the 526 Verizon Other Carrier Version.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/5xdb32tpy10x1os/0PM3IMG_VZW_OM_US_1.10.509.4.zip
The rom I am building will be based off of this RUU.

To flash this RUU rename the file to 0PM3IMG.zip
copy it to your external sd card.
Boot the device into download mode.
Hit the volume up key to flash the RUU.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS RUU HAS A DIFFERENT CID.
SO UNLESS YOU ARE SUPER CID YOU CAN NOT FLASH IT.
iT WILL NOT LET YOU.

Which is unfortunate.
Unlocking the boot loader is as simple as loading this RUU.
And then following the normal HTC dev process.

Because of the CID the device will not flash this RUU.
Unless you can change your CID like I Did.

With this RUU loaded the Enable_Oem_unlocking option shows up in the developer options menu.
Turing this on allows you to generate the unlock token.
When submitting the unlock token to htc dev it will pass.
The cid of this ruu is not blocked from being unlocked.
So then you will get the unlockcode.bin from htc dev and easily unlock your bootloader.

The problem is you can't flash this ruu.
So by taking this RUU and making a rom flashable in qdl9008 mode we might be able to get it on your device.
Provided we can flash in QDL9008 mode.

So there you have it.
The answer to unlocking the bootloader.
And with some luck. A way to flash it to locked devices.

Step 1 PREPARE THE DEVICE

Step 1) Preparing the device.

The first thing you need to do is UNLOCK THE BOOT LOADER. ( We need to flash TWRP )
After the boot loader is unlocked we want the freshest EMMC backup we can get.
Here is how we will accomplish that.

#1 ) Flash the RUU----(for non 526 device flash the factory firmware)
#2 ) (IF THE BOOT-LOADER IS LOCKED YOU MUST UNLOCK IT NOW)
#3 ) Flash the RUU AGAIN --->>> WITH THE BOOT LOADER UNLOCKED
#4 ) WHEN THE RUU IS FINISHED HIT THE POWER BUTTON TO POWER OFF THE DEVICE
#5 ) DO NOT POWER THE DEVICE ON. ( DO NOT BOOT IT TO SYSTEM AT ALL )
#6 ) THIS MEANS APPS ARE NOT INITIALIZED AND INITIAL SETUP HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED
#7) The device is currently in the newly flashed state ( NEVER TURNED ON )
#7) Now we can continue and get a as flashed backup ( NEVER TURNED ON )

I cant stress enough the NEVER TURNED ON PART. <<<<------ Must Follow

Creating a full emmc backup

Step 2) BACKUP THE ENTIRE EMMC TO ONE IMAGE.

#1 Hold the volume down button and press power to boot to download mode.
If you accidentally boot into system then start over with Preparing the Device.

#2 Flash the TWRP recovery to the device

Obviously change the recovery name to the actual name of your recovery image.
From terminal

Code:

fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img

My terminal output when flashing TWRP.

After you have flashed the recovery press the power button to go back to download mode.
Then select reboot to bootloader.
At the bootloader menu select boot to recovery mode.
WHEN THE TWRP SCREEN APPEARS DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ON THE DEVICE
DO NOT "SWIPE TO UNLOCK" OR "SWIPE TO ALLOW MODIFICATIONS"
LET THE DEVICE JUST SIT / IF THE SCREEN GOES OFF ITS OK

#3 USE THE SHELL AND CREATE A BACKUP USING DD
Warning---->>> You can only do this in LINUX.
Warning---->>> A backup to the sd card is no good. ( dont even try it )

The reason for this is because our backup image is going to be almost 8gb.
The windows file system and the sd card file system will not handel a single file that is this size.
The EXT-4 file system can handel files this size.
That is why you have to use linux.
Warning---->>>If you fail to follow the above instruction your backup will get cut off and be NO GOOD ( dont even try it )

So then how will we get this backup?

Normally we dd to the sd card and the pull to the computer. :crying:
Well due to the above circumstance we need to dd from the device directly to the computer.

What...........yes this is possible and now I will show you how.:good:

#4 USE THE SHELL AND (ADB Port Forwarding to CREATE A BACKUP USING DD
you should still be booted to TWRP and never have turned the phone on for normal boot

Open up a terminal shell window in linux.
We have to install busybox for this to work.
We will use the busybox binary and the nc file included.
We need to put them in the /system/xbin folder on the device.

Download the busybox zip from this post.
Then copy the unzipped xbin folder to your external sd card.
Then follow the commands.

Code:

adb shell
mount -o rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p62 /system
cp -rf /external_sd/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
cp -rf /external_sd/xbin/nc /system/xbin/nc
cd /system/xbin
ls

You should see busybox and the file nc in the system/xbin folder now.
the last command "ls" should show the files.
Once the files are there continue to the next step.

#5 CREATE A BACKUP USING DD

open a new terminal window.
run the following commands 1 line at a time.

TERMINAL 1

Code:

adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
adb shell
mount -o rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p62 /system
/system/xbin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/xbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0

If you get an error about system being busy when you try to mount.
It means you already mounted system. (Which you should have)
So skip the mount -o rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p62 /system if you previously mounted /system and have not re booted.

KEEP TERMINAL WINDOW 1 OPEN AND OPEN A 2ND TERMINAL WINDOW.
Run the commands one line at a time.

TERMINAL 2

Code:

adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
adb shell
/system/xbin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/xbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Your backup should start running.
It will take a wile. Its allmost 8gb.

Once this is complete you are all set.
Move your backup file to your project location on your computer.
feel free to rename it to something like HTC-526-RAW.img

Your terminal windows will look like this AFTER THE BACKUP IS COMPLETE.

WINDOW1

Code:

[email protected]:~$ adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
[email protected]:~$ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0.clean1
7.28GiB 0:19:17 [6.44MiB/s] [              <=>                                 ]
[email protected]:~$

WINDOW2

Code:

[email protected]:~$ adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
[email protected]:~$ adb shell
~ # /system/xbin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/xbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/
mmcblk0
15269888+0 records in
15269888+0 records out
7818182656 bytes (7.3GB) copied, 1157.157114 seconds, 6.4MB/s
~ #

So now we have a way to get the current GPT.
From the fresh clean backup we just made.

Not to mention we have a full backup image in case something goes wrong.

Now we want to get a backup of each partition individually.

FOLLOW THEESE STEPS.
close the terminal windows and open a new one.

Code:

adb shell
mkdir /external_sd/pull

Code:

Continuation of last post

Now we have a backups from a device that was only booted to recovery.
You can share if you like and not worry about anyone getting your userdata.
Since we didnt boot the system there is no userdata other than the factory userdata.
Only risk is someone could still get your IMEI number.
My device is not activated with verizon so my imei number will not be of use to anyone.

Now copy the /pull folder from the sd card into your project folder.
And you should have copied the HTC-526-RAW.img into your project folder.
And also the RUU should be copied to the project folder.
Create one more folder called RUU-Unpacked into your project folder.
We need to decrypt and unpack the RUU to get to the Firmware and System.img

Next we will decrypt the RUU.

Get the RUU DECRYPT TOOL HERE.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-htc-ruu-rom-decryption-t3382928
I will attach the keyfile for decrypting the RUU to this post.
Copy it to the keyfiles folder of the rom decrypt tool.

Copy the ruu into the main folder of the decrypt tool.
Where the Binary file RUU_Decrypt_Tool is located.

open a new shell
cd to the directory
Where the Binary file RUU_Decrypt_Tool is located.

Rename the RUU to rom.zip
run the following command.

Code:

./RUU_Decrypt_Tool -k rom.zip

your terminal output should look like this.

Code:

[email protected]:~/Auto-Key-HTC/Master-AUTO-KEY-Files/Tools/RUU-Toolz/RUU-REBUILD/DE-Crypt$ ./RUU_Decrypt_Tool -k rom.zip

Now copy the OUT folder to your Project Folder.
Rename it to ROM.

Now we have all the files we need to work with in our project folder.

Template Rom

Ok so this will be a whole lot easier if we have a template rom to follow as we build our rom. We are creating nearly the same exact thing. The best part about this rom is it is built to flash a few different ways. Including with QDL9008 mode. This rom is specifically for the msm8909 chipset and nearly the exact same release that is currently on our device.

Perfect

It gets even better. I guess Longcheer releases all the source files with there updates.
This is exactly what we have here. We have everything you would have after compiling the rom from source.
And everything you would have if you built all the Qualcomm Images as well. This is the full meal deal.

Every last file is there and all of the tools you need to package flashable roms, ota, updates.
Even better this is a user-debug version.
Even More Better its only signed by Qualcomm Test Keys. And the Keys are included. :cowboy:

So this thing is the cream of the crop. And fully compatible with our device.
We can cherry-pick what we want and use it on the Desire 526..

In order to complete our project we need certain qualcomm tools.
They are included in this PUBLICLY RELEASED Official Update From Longcheer.
That means we have a legitimate way of having these tools that is not in violation of any license. (ITS A PUBLIC RELEASE :silly

Make sure you look inside every folder and remember where things are.
This is a msm8909 developers goldmine. I will reference this rom a lot in the future.

Unfortunately Need Rom will require you register. But it's free.
I will try to upload this somewhere.

The best place in the world to get Qualcomm Proprietary Manuals and Proprietary Tools Legitimately from Qualcomm.
https://developer.qualcomm.com/hardware/dragonboard-410c/tools

Most all of the msm8916 manuals apply to the MSM8909.
Even some of the source code is the same.

I just wanted to share the LEGITIMATE Public Sources. It is legit to do this and have these tools.

Backups From The backup exercise

Since I know most of you cant flash TWRP and might have a hard time decrypting the RUU.
I am posting the backups that were generated in the instructional post.
This way you can still follow along with this project if you like.

The full EMMC as 1 image.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/8nkk4qw6ymz8p11/526-emmc.zip

The separate partition images.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/5cspbcg6sky6bw9/pull.zip

The decrypted RUU.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/k4w9ya0uli39ky8/ROM-decrypted.zip

Remember to get the template rom posted previously. You need the tools.

Right now I am working on the easiest methods to get the GPT Partition Table and create the partition.xml

On a good note I successfully flashed the Template Rom Image to a SD-Card.:highfive:

This is good because we have the full emmc backup.
We have the ruu and device backup partitions needed to recreate the full EMMC image.
We can now create the FULL EMMC Image using the tools.
Then we can compare the created EMMC image against the Backup EMMC image.
If they are Identical.....were ready to flash the device.

Soon as we get over the GPT hurdle it's smooth Sailing.

Getting over the GPT Hurdle

Download the attached pdf presentation for reference. ( or get it from the link below )

Start at slide 26
Complied list of tools/scripts/resources for MBR/GPT analysis
http://www.jonrajewski.com/resources/
In the “Speaker Presentations” folder you will find
Evidence Files
MBR/GPT Resource
Presentation

Review the presentation so you have an Idea of what we are looking at.
This way you will be able to understand what we are doing and how we are doing it.

Then you will be ready.

Set up the required directory tree

The black art of generating the partition.xml

First of all this is a somewhat complicated process that needs each step to be completed properly.

It is my suggestion to create the same directory structure that I have.
If you make the same director structure then you can use the same commands without editing.
Otherwise edit the commands to have the correct PATHS.

Step #1 Set up the Directory Structure

Open a terminal shell and create the directories.

Code:

mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/bin
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/Convert-Sparse
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/Get-GPT_Info
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/manuals
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/Other-Tools
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/TARGET_Build
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/boot-img
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/EMMC-Image
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/pull
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/RUU
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/TWRP-Recovery
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/Convert-Sparse/data
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/Convert-Sparse/sys
mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/Example-Rom

Step #2 Set up the Backup Device Files

Add the full emmc image that we pulled from the device in previous post into this folder.

Code:

~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/EMMC-Image

Rename the image file to ( 526-EMMC-Complete.img ) without the brackets.
The file path should now be.

Code:

~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/EMMC-Image/526-EMMC-Complete.img

Add the separate partition backups that we made in a previous post to this folder.

Code:

mkdir ~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/pull

The folder should now have the following paths.

Code:

~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/pull/aboot_signed.img
~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/pull/absolute.dd
~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/pull/appreload.img

Step#3 Add the DECRYPTED RUU FILES

We decrypted the RUU in a previous post and renamed the OUT folder to ROM.
The folder containing the decrypted ruu should be renamed to ROM.
Put the ROM Folder into this folder.

Code:

/home/bigcountry907/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/RUU

The RUU Folder should now have the following file paths.

The folder should now have the following paths.

Code:

~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/RUU/ROM

~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/RUU/ROM/boot

~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/RUU/ROM/system/system.img

We downloaded a template rom in a previous post..
Put the 2 Template Rom downloads into this folder and unzip them.

Code:

~/Desktop/526-Completed/Example-Rom

The folder should now have the following paths.

After you have all the files where they need to be we can get started on the GPT. :silly:
It's a lot I know. My folder is about 70gb. We need all of this to make the Rom.
If you followed along in my previous post then you should have created all the files needed.
If not all the files you need have been posted within those instructional threads.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE FILES
MAKE SURE YOU PUT THEM WHERE THERE NEEDED AS POSTED ABOVE

Getting the GPT Table and Translating it.

We have already done a lot of work I know.
But there is much more to come. And unfortunately it's a little deep.

If you have the above directory structure just follow my instructions here.

#1 Get the GPT Table

Lucky for us we have 2 places we can get the GPT Table.
Coincidently the gpt table is a part of the ruu if you look here it is.

Code:

~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/RUU/ROM/firmware/gpt_main_8g.img

Lets copy that file to the Get-GPT_Info folder.

Code:

cp -rf ~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/RUU/ROM/firmware/gpt_main_8g.img ~/Desktop/526-Completed/Get-GPT_Info/gpt_main_8g.img

Cool

That was easy. NO NO unfortunately not.
The question is " IS the gpt_main_8g.img Identical to the GPT on my Device"

"If you are running the ruu posted before on the device now....Maybe" :good:

Lets find out.
Obviously the best place we can get the GPT info is from the GPT Table on the device.
But...But..... :crying:
The commands we need to use don't work well on the device. So how are we gonna do this?

Use Linux To get the GPT from the EMMC Backup Image File

Yes, the dd copy of the device EMMC that we made is a Block by Block copy.
This means it is a Identical clone of the memory on the device.
Luckily the GPT table is the first 17407 bytes of the image.

Run this command to copy the partition table from the device backup image we created before.

Code:

dd if=~/Desktop/526-Completed/A13-Backup/EMMC-Image/526-EMMC-Complete.img of=~/Desktop/526-Completed/Get-GPT_Info/526-EMMC-GPT.bin bs=1 count=17407

Now we have 2 complete partition tables for our device.
You can find them here.

Code:

~/Desktop/526-Completed/Get-GPT_Info/gpt_main_8g.img
