Root D6603 on .77 by downgrade, no data wipe

I managed to use giefroot root my D6603 (US version) on firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77 by downgrading to 23.0.A.2.93 without wiping the whole /data.

This is what I did: (Try at your own risk!)

1 Backup the contacts first. The contacts data will be cleared.

2 Use Flashtool to flash D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_20GLOBAL.ftf. Uncheck wipe DATA.

3 Restart the device. There will be lots of annoying force close popups. For me, only two packages were reported closing: android.process.acore and android.process.media. USB debugging doesn’t work either.

4. Just close the popups and go to Settings – Apps – All. Find “Media Storage” and press “clear data” to get rid of FCs of android.process.media. USB debugging should work now.

5. Find “Contacts Storage” and press “clear data”. No more FCs of android.process.acore.

After this, no more FC popups for me. It looked normal on fw 2.93 and I tried many times to use giefroot v2 but failed. It seems like that the system exploit app CVE-2014-7911 will crash android.

6. I tried clearing data of more apps. After clearing ApplicationSettings and ConfigUpdater, giefroot v2 worked! I don’t know which one is the key. Can anyone confirm?

Hope it's helpful for you.

Thanks again! @zxz0O0

[TOOL][UTILITY] CIKA - Carliv Image Kitchen for Android - unpack/repack boot-recovery

Hi, I present you my latest work: CIKA aka Carliv Image Kitchen for Android . So, what is this? It's a utility (tool) for unpacking and repacking boot and recovery images for many kind of android phones. I made two versions, one for windows users and one for linux users. The windows version works by dragging&dropping over the script you want to use, while the linux version will work with terminal commans (very simple commands though). What's inside? For windows version the scripts are batch files and for linux bash files , but the names are the same and they do same thing: clear_all will clear the working folder deleting any unpacked boot/recovery folder, but not the boot or recovery files (original or repacked). image_info will print on screen all informations about the image you want to check (sizes, offsets, cmdline, etc.) and all these infos will be saved in a text file (which will be deleted when you clear the folder - see point 1). This is handy if you don't...

Part 2 of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina keeps the Harry Potter influence going

Everyone who’s been enjoying the magician-in-training aspect of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina should be happy to know that the second half of the show’s first season doubles down on its debt to Harry Potter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer while also drawing some on Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings . One of the most enduring ideas popularized by George Lucas and J.R.R. Tolkien is that world-changing powers can easily be misused. In this latest Sabrina run, the heroine’s decision to sign her name in “The Book of the Beast” at the end of the season’s first half means she’s now one of the most capable witches on Earth, and those new abilities are changing her. Chilling Adventures debuted last October with 10 episodes, introducing... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts http://bit.ly/2OQyWSY via IFTTT
