[Q] D6603 - Bricked phone - access to TWRP still present - no backup topic

Hi.

Did the incredibly stupid thing and wiped my phone completely without having a backup.

Flashtool and D6603_23.0.1.A.5.77_Customized_DE.ftf doesn't help - Flashtool tells me to hold the "back" button while inserting the usb cable. Done the correct thing (vol down + insert usb cable) - but to no avail.

03/043/2015 10:43:44 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
03/043/2015 10:43:44 - INFO - Ending flash session
03/043/2015 10:43:44 - ERROR - Error in processHeader : 1 : Forkert funktion.

I still have access to TWRP (flashed the boot image again using fastboot), but as told, no backup present.

Anyone who can help me swiftly, I'll happily Paypal some money to.

Root D6603 on .77 by downgrade, no data wipe topic

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

[Q] Flash D6603 FTF file in D6653 topic

DRM Restore Does it work and D6603 users with Unlocked Bootloaders WE WANT YOU! topic

Hi folks,

D6603 users seem to be running into a bit of a brick wall due to a Memory Allocation issue in the giefroot exploit for people to root with Locked Bootloaders.

Issue right now is the need for someone with a D6603 with an unlocked bootloader and root to assist @zxz0O0 in figuring it out to get the D6603 back on track for root.

I've volunteered to help but just want to clarify I'm good to retain my DRM linked functions when I lose my TA partition as has been advertised around the place.

Or if you'd like to assist and already have an Unlocked Bootloader and want to help the cause PM @zxz0O0 for further instructions.

Thanks!
