Hello! I have an ME865 with ICS Leaked 4.0.4 and rooted. I tried to install both GTA's but they keep giving the same error: "xapk file validation failed". It's strange, this is a good phone, how can it not support these games? Is there a way to install it?
Thank you in advance
You can have a read of THIS thread and see if it helps.
Don't let me see any discussion of warez here though, or the thread will be closed and offenders dealt with.

Okay, i found this Market Helper, it changes my device and makes it compatible, but before the purchase window there's an error. Will keep looking for methods... if anyone could install this please reply

You may need to "change" your location because some apps are only available in select locations (I don't know why). If you know which device(s) is/are supported by the game's developer you can try spoofing your phone model using the method found here:

Deleted. Beaups released a full unlock using this. No need.

All,
Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.
Beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID). This makes the process all teh simpler!
I have built this tool from his source, and used it on a multitude of devices that use a Samsung eMMC. It works without flaw on the Moto G (Second Generation), Galaxy S5 (VZW/ATT, though, ATT doesn't have a Developer Edition that I am aware of), and many, many others.
How does this apply to you?
The S5 uses a Samsung eMMC, and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is vulnerable to this exploit.
How can I help this progress?
I need a few thing to make this work:
- A few testers with Production devices, and root (temp-root should work fine) -- I will contact these people individually, do not ask here to test.
- One person with a Developer Edition that has root (need an aboot dump, and them to run one command).
If any of you know of someone with a Developer Edition, please get them in contact with me. I can be reached on Hangouts, or on Telegram (@npjohnson).
PLEASE do not post your CID publicly.
I will be trying to package this into an app that will extend across multiple vulnerable devices.

I know we'll be able to get a bootloader unlock from this, but hopefully we'll be able to get it done ASAP. I've already moved on to the Nexus 6, but I'd still love to have my S5's bootloader unlocked anyway. Good luck with this, I can't wait.

cant wait to see this going
So how have you gone about compiling and running this? Try as I may I can't seem to do a proper build. It's probably the lowest of the low, but if you could send me a binary, I'd greatly appreciate it
I'd be more than willing to try it on my rooted verizon s5.
Successfully compiled the tool - currently scouring the internet looking for anyone with a developer edition that might be able to help, we should have this done in no time. Have already sent out messages to a few, will look for more. I'll PM you if I get any details
Kinda cool watching this unfold over a few weeks, I'm really excited for what's to come.
You all need to check something else first, you need your current CID
If it starts with anything other than 15, this will not work for you. Samsung EMMC's start with CID 15, Toshiba 11, and there may be more. If you Don't start with 15, this WILL NOT WORK.
Regarding a compiled verison
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=64141875024257149501
Yeah...unfortunately mine starts with an 11 :c
Yep, mine starts with a 15. I'm ready to start any testing. All of my possible developer editions have fallen through - many requesting a purchase of the actual phone. I'll keep looking, but I might be outta options atm.
I can't believe all we need to open this phone up is a dev phone for a few minutes. It would add new life. I'm searching out people as well. Hopefully we find something soon
Mine starts with a 15 and it's not my daily driver, count me in for testing!
Question. Didn't someone post in one of the forums (General or Android Development) about them having a Walmart Straight Talk S5 and that it was actually a VZW Dev Ed? Because he was wanting to put a CM ROM on it. If that's true, then we also need to find anyone with that particular device as well. If i can find the thread it was posted in I'll add the link. Found the links. If it's true we need to see if these variants could help out.

That's actually brilliant. It MIGHT work, but even though they have identical hardware, I don't know if that guarantees that it will have a compatible bootloader - unless it does, in which case that's amazing, and we need to get a hold of someone with one asap. Unless they are the same model, just rebranded, I don't see this working as the bootloaders may not be signed with Verizon's keys.
True. Forgot about the VZW keys... Was thinking too much of finding a Dev Ed....lol

Don't give up hope so fast. I'm getting in contact with a few people, and I'll certainly try it. This may actually be the same phone, I see a lot of websites suggesting Straight Talk phones are the exact same as Verizon ones. We shall see. My information about the keys might not even be accurate, with my limited knowledge.
It was a good thought though, even if it isn't true
How can you compile it? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.1 and i can't even get NDK to install correctly.. Any help?

Hmm. I dunno. I'm currently on Windows - there wasn't really any installation for NDK, just running from the extracted folder. I can post a link to a compiled version of the program, I'm pretty sure someone in another thread posted one.

Is there a way to check CID from the phone? I can't seem to find out how to check it, build prop and whatnot doesn't have anything about it like some places suggest, and can't use fastboot.

Use eMMC brickbug checker on the play store. First 2 numbers of your cid should be 11 or 15. You want 15

@FartyParty, you have to stop mirroring my work, read forum rules!

There's no rule against mirroring.
I'm not claiming "your" tool as my own, hence no rules has been broken.
Also welcome back, lets hope you've learned your lesson and will behave this time .
Your mirrored links without link to the author thread is reported right now, hope removed soon. Using somebody work and posting it without author permission break forum rules, read forum rules twice if you not believe me. I no need further discussion with you.

Can you link me to that rule. The only rules I saw were about people taking other works and claiming them as their own.
I saw nothing about simply mirroring something.

Don't you think that what could initially be understood as your temporary breakdown can now be considered even worse? How about starting to behave as an adult and not a kid.

Rule 12-4.
- in-process builds start showing up on forums when the developer is not yet ready to release the work;
I temporary stopped my thread (removed it temporary), understand now?
Also it can be also related to rule 12.1:
12-1. Give credits where due - Credits and acknowledgements for using and releasing work which is based on someone else's work are an absolute must. Works reported to have no credits will be taken down until proper acknowledgements are added by the member in question;
I didn't gave acknowledgements to anybody to share my work further, right?

That's in no way the same thing as what I was doing. I simply offered an alternative download for the tool so people could use it since you were banned.
I in no way altered it, used it as a base for other work, I didn't claim it as my own, people who downloaded it knew who the creator were etc.
Sorry but no. I will not remove the current links, I will leave that up to a mod to decide if they its breaking rules or not.
Rule 12.4 as I have temporary removed OP because malware was on UPX packed exe, it was not a ready for releasing so I removed OP.

You released it 9th June 2017, 05:58 PM.
But ok, using your logic I should be fine since I haven't mirrored your newest version.
Only the older one before you got banned.
You have mirrored booth see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73217056&postcount=337 but It does not matter which version is in question when OP is not a ready jet. I will contact andministrators about mirror links things and ask him to try explicitly define thing related to mirrored links

I have included GordonGate flash driver in the latest newflasher, yesterday version, simple download and double click newflasher.exe it will ask you for driver archive extraction, confirm "y" and GordonGate.7z will become available in the same folder, extract GordonGate.7z using SevenZip archiver and install GordonGate drivers trought Windows device mannager and you're done

No they are still before you got banned so its not the newest version you released just now.
Good idea about asking for more specific rules about mirroring so we all know.

haha realy? What's the difference when there OP is not ready jet? No problem mate, lets forget it ok? Just for further, hope we get clear statement about mirror links and get it explicitly defined in forum rules. I am 7 years here and thing which I learned is definitelly to not mirror anybody work. Just look into my 7720 posts and you definitelly will not see any mirror link inside any of the my posts. You will learn that when you become developer and when you start working hard on something, I am pretty sure you will not like when somebody start mirroring your work. Lets forget all now and leave this OP clean
Hi welcome back munjeni
Hi everyone,
I'm using TWRP since a while but I'm facing a new "challenge" I've buy a unbranded tablet -> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001315507846.html
Spoiler: Specs
Android version
10.0
Baseband version
M0LY.WR8.W1449.MD.WG.MRV16, 2020/05/15 18:17
Kernel
3.10.72+
Build number
TAB910_JB260000_20200717
The question is how to boot on a custom recovery image ? It's seem TWRP only work by brand -> https://twrp.me/Devices/ is there no "universal" TWRP image ? or do you know an alternative to TWRP ?
I searched the forum for a dedicated TWRP topic, but could found any (always a sub of a branded device :/ ) so @Moderator Committee feel free to move my topic.

⬆ uping my question, still no ideas how to solve this...
I need help like this questions. Pls.
I've bought smartphone from wish.com
And I wanna install TWRP but no brand
https://twrp.me/Devices/ is there no "universal" TWRP image on that. How to solve this?
Thanks for attention and help
Here you go:
[CLOSED] I Will build TWRP for your device!
I wanna build twrp for your device! Pls give info about your device! if possible give stock firmware!
forum.xda-developers.com
I have been into installing custom ROMs and rooting Android for many years now, used many mid range Android devices, never tried to build one from source (did not have good enough hardware or broadband), now I have got both and want to try building ROM from source and got many questions, any help would be appreciated.
Important questions:(Need these answers before I start downloading Repos)
Is it possible to create any Android version Rom for any device? like I used to have Moto G2, if I can get it's source code, can I build Android 11 Rom for it? or am I missing something here?
I own Realme 5 Pro now, if I build Android 11 and flash it, is there any chance it could hard brick my device?
If I'd built Android 11 for R5 Pro, how would I know it's for my device? can I flash that firmware on another device? or vice versa? I know that flashing other device firmware can hard brick your device.
What are the chances of getting bugs after flashing? like ril not working, or maybe settings wont open, camera wont work etc. and how can I fix them for my specific device?
How can I ensure that the specific build only works for R5 Pro and not other device? like do I have to sign it with specific code or anything like that? any idea?
Not so important questions:(You can answer it if u know)
How much download is necessary to build from source? If u have built, is there any specific download size or different for specific devices?
Also if I want to build TWRP recovery for R5 Pro from scratch how would I go about doing that? and what about giving it a different theme style?
How long will it take for my specs pc to build? any estimated idea? (specs: 16gb ddr4 3600mhz ram, Ryzen R5 3700x, Nvidia 2060 Super, and lots of space)
Can I build this Rom to be flashed via recovery or is it has to be fastboot specific?
Can I build Android Kitkat or something old for newer devices?
So these are the initial questions that comes to my mind, I am posting this thread on some diff forums too, if u have any experience regarding this please do share, any help is appreciated, Thank you.
