Cant Unlock, Unknown serial. ADB problems

[miskas]

the exact steps to do this would be?

I'm assuming that we'd have to modify the linux procedure to use cardhu_chipid rather than cardhu_backup-chipid and see where that takes us.

i have no idea how to do that

At lunch right now, but will reply w/changed script when I return unless the guys beat me to it .

Turns out there's an ASUS rep that goes through the xda forums and has an e-mail address.

cl-tien@asus.com

You could e-mail him and see what status your device is in what steps you could take as well.

ill try and i know my device is out of warranty and there is no way im paying to RMA a problem they cause.

 

[iowabowtech]

Is this what you were thinking SA? Basically just pointing to the JB location in the 3rd command series?


adb shell
su
cd /data/local

ssn="1234567890AB" # replace the values in quotes with your 12-byte serial number
echo "trace: $ssn"

dd ibs=1 count=17 if=/sys/devices/platform/cardhu_chipid of=chipid
echo "trace: see if we extracted 17 bytes from the chipid file"
ls -al chipid

mkdir -m 0777 /Removable/p5
echo "trace: verify creation of new directory"
ls -ald /Removable/p5

mount -o remount,rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /Removable/p5
echo "trace: verify that new mount worked"
mount

echo -n "$ssn" > /Removable/p5/SSN
echo "trace: verify new SSN file"
ls -al /Removable/p5/SSN

cat chipid > /Removable/p5/UUID
echo "trace: verify new UUID file"
ls -al /Removable/p5/UUID

umount /Removable/p5

exit # exit the secure (su) shell
exit # exit the non-root shell

@miskas, advise waiting to get the green light (or not) from SA before moving forward. I know he's subscribed with updates to this thread so he'll see this in a few.

Looks good to me, IBT, as long as that is the location of the cardhu_chipid file (I wasn't 100% sure, but I'm sure jhawkkw and/or miskas could verify and/or adjust as needed).

Also, I was going to use the mount command listed in the XDA thread that jhawkkw referenced earlier:

I.e., replacing this:

mount -o remount,rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /Removable/p5

with this:

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /Removable/p5

Here's yours with my update:

adb shell
su
cd /data/local

ssn="C7OKASQR00JW" # set this to your 12-byte serial number

dd ibs=1 count=17 if=/sys/devices/platform/cardhu_chipid of=chipid
echo "trace: see if we extracted 17 bytes from the chipid file"
ls -al chipid

mkdir -m 0777 /Removable/p5
echo "trace: verify creation of new directory"
ls -ald /Removable/p5

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /Removable/p5
echo "trace: verify that new mount worked"
mount

echo -n "$ssn" > /Removable/p5/SSN
echo "trace: verify new SSN file"
ls -al /Removable/p5/SSN

cat chipid > /Removable/p5/UUID
echo "trace: verify new UUID file"
ls -al /Removable/p5/UUID

umount /Removable/p5

exit # exit the secure (su) shell
exit # exit the non-root shell

Look okay / sound good?

Yeah, the cardhu-chipid is in the same directory where the backup version should have been, so it should be fine.

 

[miskas]

Ill will try this and update you guys on the progress

rebooted and no luck. but there was quite a few errors that happened along the way.
Also you forgot a path its "platform/cardhu_misc/card_hu" just forgot the "cardhu_misc" but i noticed and fixed it

 

[miskas]

i also would like to know why my serial # is showing as the 16 digit chiphu number?

 

[scary alien]

Looking at this now, miskas...give us a bit .

Thanks!

miskas,

I went-ahead and plugged-in the serial # you provided earlier in this thread when you first tried the commands if that's what you are asking.

Also, are you copying and pasting the commands from the post above or hand-typing them? (your dd command doesn't look right and is the first error reported that much of the rest of the commands rely upon).

If you could carefully copy and paste the above commands one at a time and stop if you get an error and let us see what is going on--don't do them all unless you are NOT getting an error / warning.

@IBT, I'm looking at your PM now...sorry for the delay .

 

[miskas]

im just confused about the echo trace command

as far as i get before an error

SA and I have been chatting via PM and we have some ideas that MAY help to smooth up the transition through the command list. I'd like to add a couple things though...first probably goes without saying but although we're doing our best to help here with careful forethought, you are ultimately responsible for the decision to move forward. In other words, "user assumes all risk".

Also, again it may be wise to move forward one at a time and report the outcomes as SA noted in his previous post. I assume we may get the error for recreation of Removable/p5 but I left in there anyway, should be no harm there.

adb shell
su
cd /data/local

ssn="C7OKASQR00JW" # set this to your 12-byte serial number

dd ibs=1 count=17 if=/sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/cardhu_chipid of=chipid
echo "trace: see if we extracted 17 bytes from the chipid file"
cd /sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/cardhu_chipid
ls -al

cd /dev/block/mmcblk0p5/
mkdir -m 0777 -p /Removable/p5
echo "trace: verify creation of new directory"
cd /dev/block/mmcblk0p5/Removable/p5
ls -ald

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /Removable/p5
echo "trace: verify that new mount worked"
mount

echo -n "$ssn" > /Removable/p5/SSN
echo "trace: verify new SSN file"
ls -al /Removable/p5/SSN

cat chipid > /Removable/p5/UUID
echo "trace: verify new UUID file"
ls -al /Removable/p5/UUID

umount /Removable/p5

exit # exit the secure (su) shell
exit # exit the non-root shell

edit: added SA's addition of -p to mkdir command. Mentioned in next post, edited here to keep this the working list.

 

[scary alien]

miskas,

You'll probably have to add a "-p" switch to the mkdir command above:

mkdir -m 0777 -p /Removable/p5

Sorry I missed this earlier!

@IBT: great stuff and thanks!

 

[miskas]

ok i will try this and post my results. i do accept the risks and will push forward. i really do and truly appreciate the help you guys have been giving me.

Edited post 92 to include the addition!

[iowabowtech]

sh: cd: /sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/cardhu_chipid: Not a directory

I thought we determined that to be the existing location? :hmmmm:

Could you use a file explorer and verify if there is indeed a directory:

/sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/cardhu_chipid/

or is cardhu_chipid a file within the previous directory? Dang I wish I had one of these to actually look at.

Could you use a file explorer and verify if there is indeed a directory:

/sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/cardhu_chipid/

cardhu_chipid is a file contained in the /sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/

My screen shot in post 51 shows the directory

Sorry, I've been preoccupied this past while.

 

[iowabowtech]

Ok then, let me tweak this some more. Brb.
