The legacy of recent firmware is visible

There are just a few jobs that will need to be done one by one. So as not to call Android a “device” or other names, the word “phone” will be used instead, so it’s easier and more meaningful.

Welcome to your phone/tablet via Recovery

If the phone is still turned off, turn it off. Then press the volume button and the volume button simultaneously. After this procedure, the smartphone will open secondly Recovery menu . Two options will be presented:

• Update the backup (this point is the main one before flashing the firmware, if the smartphone is flashed, then the backup will be updated). Select the early state of your system, then start the backup in Backup and Restore.

ZTE Skate update for Android 4.1 JellyBean.

Most of the articles in the X-Mobile section are devoted to hacks and tweaks that allow you to remove root rights, modify the firmware, or replace it with a custom one. However, the reader is far from ready to give his smartphone such operations, I’m afraid that they will change the device completely or lead to instability in the robot. Today I will debunk these myths and show that it is not so difficult to turn your smartphone back to life even in a stalemate.

The city is in ruins

So, how can you “remake your smartphone completely” and what other pitfalls can tell you how to change the system and install custom firmware? What kind of glitches can occur and how can you kill a smartphone by reflashing it incorrectly? Will you use up the warranty forever and will you be able to turn your smartphone around? What effective custom firmware can fail the owner of a smartphone at the most unexpected moment and why not?

Myth 1. Incorrect flashing can damage your smartphone

You can crash your smartphone from the top, but it won't require flashing. The main problem that faces anyone who wants to reflash a smartphone is that when the firmware is installed, there may be a crash that will lead to its failure, and the smartphone will actually turn into one.

It’s all the same, but it’s worse on paper. To understand why, it is enough to understand how the process of flashing a smartphone works and what system components are affected. To remove the possibility of installing third-party firmware on your smartphone, you need to unlock the device (not on all versions), unroot and install a custom update console (ClockworkMod or TWRP), and then install the firmware with some kind of digital signature.

The update console is saved in a separate section of the internal NAND memory and is in no way connected with the installed operating system. After installing a modified version of the console, you will be able to flash custom firmware or another OS (Firefox OS, for example). If the firmware becomes damaged before the firmware is installed, the smartphone will not appear in the mode of recovery, the update console will be lost in place, and everything that needs to be done will need to be downloaded again from recovery and reinstall the firmware.

Moreover, if the custom console of the update has a backup/update function, which allows you to create backup copy the main firmware and update it in an unchanged form (with all the additions, adjustments and data) in the event that this is not the case. In fact, the smartphone can be turned to the cob.

You can ask: what will happen when the update console is installed? Nothing, in which case the situation will turn out to be a turning point, if operating system lose money, and the console appears wasted. To get started with it, you just need to flash the recovery again directly from Android.

Hypothetically, it is possible to identify the situation if both the firmware and the console are updated (you want to work hard), but in this case you will forever lose the original device that was flashed into the permanent memory of the smartphone.

Note: it’s impossible to drive a smartphone and install third-party firmware through a custom update console. On the spot, you will forever lose either recovery or the first vantage point.

Myth 2. Custom firmware is unreliable

Warranty firmware firmware. In the vastness of the world's wide web, you can find a large number of Android assemblies with any taste and color, and most of them are truly trash, which can lead to instability in the smartphone and the loss of some functionality. The first thing to remember is that on the right the motherboard is equipped with serious custom firmware, which is developed by great teams of advanced developers. First of all, we have CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, OmniROM and MIUI.

Friend. There are two types of firmware: officially supported and ported by third-party vendors. That same CyanogenMod, for example, may official version for the Nexus 4 smartphone, but there is no such thing for the Motorola Defy. The prote for Defy is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod 11 as a package with Quarx. Their importance lies in the fact that the CyanogenMod team is the first to provide support and correct efficiency, as well as another - Quarx especially. The official versions of the firmware are purely practical, and the correctness of the other work is left to a third-party vendor.

That's the third. Stable and updated firmware versions are available. Stable versions CyanogenMod has index M (CyanogenMod 11.0 M7, for example). This firmware version is designed to avoid bugs. The version that is released (in the case of CyanogenMod during daily compilations) may contain bugs and is not recommended for everyday use.

Note: if you install a stable official version of normal firmware on your smartphone, the risk of encountering bugs is minimal. Everything else is for experimenters.

Myth 3. Software that requires root rights built on a smartphone

Theoretically, if you have root rights, you can do anything with the smartphone’s firmware, including completely erasing it. Therefore, with such software you need to be very careful. The software that we review on the pages of the magazine is completely safe and tested on a damp skin. In addition, for the entire hour the rise of smartphones on Android (and starting with version 1.5) I never without being affected by the situation, if the software is driven into the smartphone using root support.

Software that can be found everywhere through Google Play It completely corresponds to the stated characteristics, and, if it leads to the goal or removes the backdoor from the smartphone, it will not be washed in the store. In any case, it is important to follow the rules of “trust before disbelieving” and carefully read the instructions from the root app.

Myth 4. Root rights to disable a smartphone will be spilled for viruses

Let's make it possible for smartphone viruses to remove not root rights, but bugs, which are used to remove them. Rooting tools and viruses can attack the same Android spill to revoke root rights, the fact that root is visible on the device does not change anything. Correctly spelling a virus is not a matter of law in a standard way Seeing their presence, the fatigue of the wines is accelerated by the same overflow in order to remove their secrets.

Moreover, if you are root, you will not be able to install a new one. Android version(for custom firmware), the bugs have already been fixed. It’s also important to remember that most custom firmwares allow you to enable root or create additional lists of add-ons that can be used to change rights.

Myth 5. A rooted smartphone can be damaged

SOFT, signs for the ROOT OF ROOT, READ CHOTIRI RECHIK: launching the EXECTION, POSSIBLE OF READY ROOT ROOT in systems, MONTOM RODEM in the regime, Schau in the catalog /System /XBIN Binarnik SU, Non -Chistye Odrimanguing Rights Root, II Roster Program SuperSU or SuperUser, which allows you to control every time, if any program requests root rights for additional su.

These steps cannot lead to a malfunction or crash the smartphone. The only thing that can happen is the exploitation of the segmentation and the smartphone will be re-engaged, after which you can continue to operate normally.

Myth 6. By unrooting and installing custom firmware, I will void the warranty

The warranty is expired not by the fact of unrooting, but through its identification by the service center. For most devices, you can remove root rights using the additional Universal Unroot program, or by reinstalling the stock firmware using additional official programs from the driver.

There are two faults with this rule. The first is the Knox system, installed on new smartphones samsung tablets, such as Galaxy S4, S5, Note 3 and Note 10.1. Knox will provide advanced Android security, responding to any firmware modifications and installation of third-party kernels and firmware. In this case, when the current data is collected, the system installs a trigger that confirms the fact of modification. The trigger is implemented in hardware (eFuse chip), so you won’t be able to throw it off in the cob position. On the other hand, it’s not entirely clear what to expect service center Repair the device on this stand. Other: eFuse installations on many other devices (for example, smartphones from LG), and it also allows you to accurately determine the rooting or reflash the smartphone.

If we talk about custom firmware, then everything is more complex. Therefore, the flashing operation involves unlocking the device, and can be done using special exploits or using an additional web service of the smartphone manufacturer. In any case of unlocking, you can definitely tell that the smartphone is far from white.

On some smartphones, it is possible to block your account back, so you can properly recognize it, and also keep in mind that blocking your account, which means everything, will change the status to Re-locked, and not Locked, as it was initially (as it is on HTC smartphones, for example). The only culprits here are the smartphones and tablets of the Nexus line, which can be blocked and unblocked in three clicks without any dances with a tambourine, and neither of them can be bothered with anything.

INFO

For Linux ADB and Fastboot can be installed directly Android SDK. On Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot. For Fedora: sudo yum install android-tools.

To prevent the Knox system from respecting the root program, you can use the following command from the terminal: su pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid.

Visnovki

Unrooting and flashing a smartphone are absolutely safe operations that cannot completely clean a smartphone. technical reasons. One culprit - try to hack the cob zavantazhuvach with the method of unblocking it. This type can be equipped with an eFuse chip (like the one on a smartphone) and block the ability to turn on the smartphone.

Today, today's smartphone manufacturers either choose not to block the ability to turn on a smartphone with a hacked locker (by setting a trigger to confirm the fact of such an action, how to work Knox), or implement a special web service that allows Painlessly unlock your smartphone without voiding the warranty , which ranks as a necessity for risk-taking, lamayuchi zavantazhuvach.

Problems that may arise during the flashing process

Well, now let's talk about what problems can arise when remove root and reflashing and how to deal with them.

Scenario one: after a recent flashing, the smartphone is no longer attractive

Not long after, flashing the firmware could be a problem with some officials: the battery ran out, and the firmware was only half filled, the firmware turned out to be faulty or intended for a different smartphone model. I'm sorry, there's simply no space on the smartphone that can be used when trying to install the latest version of Android on a smartphone that's three years old.

All these problems appear either in the repeated downloads of the smartphone to the original logo of the printer, or in the so-called boot-loop, when the animation is required to spin on the screen for five to ten minutes. There may be problems with the screen (different colors) and non-functional touch screen, which may also cause the smartphone to malfunction.

In all these cases, it is enough to do one simple thing: turn on the smartphone while pressing the recovery button, then turn it on using the power button (some smartphones use a different combination), and then use recovery , reinstall the firmware (Install zip from sdcard -> Chooze zip from sdcard) or update the backup (Backup and restore -> Restore). Everything is easy and simple.

The scenario is different: the firmware is working, but recovery is not available

This may happen after nearby installations Or the console has been updated. The problem is that after restarting the smartphone and pressing the change button, a black screen appears, after which the smartphone either drops or hangs.

Solving this problem is not easy, but it is even simpler. You can install the update console on the vast majority of smartphones using the additional programs TWRP Manager, ROM Manager or ROM Installer. They themselves determine the model of the smartphone, download and flash the required recovery, without having to re-install it. Since there is no way to restore the console, you just need to know the instructions in Merezha for installing recovery on your device.

Third scenario: neither firmware nor recovery is available

Honestly speaking, it is less important to recognize such a scenario, but, as practice confirms, it is completely real. There are two ways to get out of this situation: use the fastboot button to upload recovery to your smartphone, or use the quickboot tool to install the firmware. We’ll look at another method in the next section, and I’ll talk about fastboot here.

Fastboot is a tool that works directly with the original download device and allows you to upload firmware, recovery and download unlock to your smartphone (for devices from the Nexus line). The fastboot support is available on many smartphones and tablets, as well as devices that block the ability of your browser. So you will have to consult the Internet as soon as possible.

To gain access to fastboot, you will need the Android SDK drivers. Once they are installed, open them command row, Go to the SDK installation directory, then to the platform-tools directory, select the smartphone, turn it on with the volume buttons pressed (both) and connect it via an additional USB cable to the PC. Then you need to find the recovery image in the .img format for your device and enter the command:

$ fastboot flash recovery image.img

Or you can download your smartphone and install recovery without any actual installation:

$ fastboot boot image.img

So you can flash it yourself official Firmware update:

$fastboot update update file.zip

You can find a suitable recovery for your device either on the TWRP website or on the XDA-Developers forums and w3bsit3-dns.com.

We turn the smartphone to the cob

In this section I will learn about ways to turn your smartphone back to a clean drain, which is not the case. These instructions can be followed both for unlocking the smartphone and for removing traces of rooting and flashing. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you about all possible models, so I’m focusing on a few of the most popular flagships: Nexus 5 (which I call the control copy), Galaxy S5, LG G2 and Sony Xperia Z2.

Nexus 5 and other Google phones

It’s easier to turn the Nexus line device to its full size than any other smartphone or tablet. In truth, it’s so simple that there’s nothing to tell about it here. In fact, all that needs to be done is to install the ADB/fastboot drivers (in Linux there is no need), download the archive with the firmware and run the script. Step by step the whole operation looks like this:

1. zvidsi.
2. It is necessary to install the Android SDK.
3. We collect archives with firmware for the required device from the Google website.
4. The device is wet, wet with pressed volume buttons (both) and connected with an additional USB cable.
5. We unpack the archives with the firmware and run the flash-all.bat (Windows) or flash-all.sh (Linux) script and check for the completion of the operation.
6. We launch the command line, go to the directory with the Android SDK, go to platfrom-tools and select the fastboot oem lock command to lock the device.

For those who don’t want to run the script, here is a list of commands:

Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-IM-DEVICE-VERSION.img fastboot reboot-bootloader fastboot flash radio radio-IM-DEVICE-VERSION. recovery recovery.img fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot erase cache fastboot flash cache cache.img

Galaxy S5

Z Galaxy smartphone The S5 is more foldable, but overall it’s easy to use. When will you need the Samsung Odin program, which can also be used to update your smartphone's firmware. Sequence of actions:

1. Please install the latest version of Samsung USB drivers.
2. We download and install the remaining version of Odin.
3. We go to the website samfirmware.com, search for the SM-G900F model, find the firmware with the Russia icon, download it and unpack it.
4. We shake the smartphone and press the pressed buttons to change the volume and “Dodom”, wait five seconds until the next notification appears.
5. Press the increase volume button to switch the smartphone to Odin mode.
6. We connect the smartphone using an additional USB cable.
7. Launch Odin, press the PDA button and select the file with the tar.md5 extension in the middle of the directory with the unpacked firmware.
8. Onslaught Start button in Odin and check until the firmware process is completed.

As I already said, this operation will turn the smartphone to the cob, but not throw off the trigger, introductions by the system Knox (as it was with the standard firmware). Therefore, the service center can be used for repairs.

LG G2

Updating the LG G2 to factory standard also does not cause any particular problems. The number of steps in this process is even greater, but in itself they do not require special preparation and knowledge. So, what to do, turn the factory firmware on the G2:

1. Please install ADB Driver Installer from here.
2. The official firmware (Europe Open 32G or Europe Open) is available.
3. It is important to install the LG Mobile Support Tool, as well as FlashTool (goo.gl/NE26IQ).
4. We wring the smartphone, press the increase button and insert the USB cable.
5. We unzip the FlashTool archive and launch the UpTestEX.exe file.
6. In the window, select Select Type -> 3GQCT, Phone Mode -> DIAG, in the Select KDZ file option, select the firmware downloaded in another section.
7. Press the CSE Flash button at the bottom of the screen.
8. At the window press Start.
9. At the next window, select the edge and press Ok.
10. We check for the completion of the firmware, and then the smartphone is connected and connected.

That's all. Please note that, since we are connected to Samsung, the smartphone still has Rooted status and cannot be corrected.

Sony Xperia Z2

Now about those, when I turn to the factory Sony smartphone Xperia Z2. As in the first two steps, for which is it necessary stock firmware This is an official utility for flashing. You launch the utility on your PC, connect your smartphone with an additional USB cable and start the update process. Pokrokovo everything looks like this:

1. Please install ADB Driver Installer from here.
2. We reset the smartphone to factory settings.
3. It is necessary to install the Flash Tool from the official Sony website and install the remaining firmware.
4. Copy the firmware file to the directory C:/Flashtool/Firmwares.
5. The smartphone gets wet and gets stuck with the pressed keys, changing the thickness and “Dodoma”.
6. We connect the smartphone to the PC using an additional USB cable and launch the Flash Tool.
7. Press the button with the blink icon in the Flash Tool. In the window, select Flashmode, then click on the firmware in the list.

WARNING

In many smartphones, the zvantazhuvach will not allow you to update everything.

In 90% of cases, the mobile phone unlock will result in the deletion of all data from the smartphone, including the memory card.

Visnovki

Flashing a smartphone, and more importantly, removing root access, is not at all as scary and unsafe an operation as it might seem at first glance. As long as you do everything correctly and don’t go into the tools that unlock the lock of your smartphone, bypassing the driver’s tools, you won’t be able to hack your smartphone. So, in some situations you have to tinker with everything to get everything back on track, or better yet, have to deal with a locked smartphone that doesn’t allow you to make half of these speeches, so how can you give up full control over the device? At the end of the day, reinstalling Windows on the PC does not bark to anyone.
