KAZUNA eTalk - App Guide & Discussion

FliphoneBochur Hmmm, I guess maybe the 019's don't list version... I only have the f119 r035 which would risk breaking yours even more... I didn't have any luck with the firmwares from the manufacture site, but backing up and restoring with edl was working good.. I would suggest trying to find a working f019 or someone with one who can do a full backup of theirs using edl. And at the same time, do a full edl backup of your broken phone so you can restore it to it's current state (in fact, practice backing up and restoring with EDL with the broken phone, it wont fix anything, but better to know the process at least works).

The result of each backup should be a file lists like this:
abootbak.bin cmnlibbak.bin devinfo.bin keymasterbak.bin modemst1.bin rawprogram0.xml sbl1.bin tzbak.bin
aboot.bin cmnlib.bin fsc.bin keymaster.bin modemst2.bin recovery.bin sec.bin tz.bin
apdp.bin config.bin fsg.bin keystore.bin oem.bin rpmbak.bin splash.bin userdata.bin
boot.bin DDR.bin gpt_backup0.bin misc.bin pad.bin rpm.bin ssd.bin vendor.bin
cache.bin devcfg.bin gpt_main0.bin modem.bin persist.bin sbl1bak.bin system.bin

If the file lists are different from the above, YMMV as far as results.. and I would only proceed if the list matches between the phones.

You would then take all the files from the working phone, EXCEPT, leave out:
cache.bin
modemst1.bin
modemst2.bin
persist.bin
userdata.bin

as these have the phone specific information (like imei) and you don't want to overwrite that on your phone.

You would then try to restore the working phones files (minus those above) to the broken phone and see what happens. If it doesn't work, you can then restore back to your current broken state.

Biden2020prez Software Upgrade Assistant doesn't work (like you said). Recovery mode isn't looping, but the screen is blank. Before I flashed the firmware (the 1st time) it said no command

aapost Thank you so much! Biden2020prez said he'll try to edl backup his working phone. Where does edl backup to?

aapost Also, edl as in [Login to see the link] ?

I forgot to mention, DO use the firehose from the manufacturers firmware files, that was the one good thing in there.

I would recommend the official edl from bkerler (the fork you listed was last updated 2019...)

backup command:
edl rl your_dump_folder_name --genxml --loader=path/to/prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn

restore command:
edl wl your_dump_folder_name --loader=path/to/prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn

aapost Thanks! I'll try to practice while I anxiously wait for [Login to see the link] 's firmware.

FliphoneBochur My phones are using lower firmware versions and I'd rather not update it. I think aapost should try sending his rom, as you already tried getting the f019 firmware from Kazuna's site, and couldn't boot. The f119 often works with the f019 as seen in the OP (I've done it myself).

Biden2020prez The whole problem was caused by uploading a rom from the F119. Are you really sure it’ll work?

aapost When I run the backup command, I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\edl-master\edl", line 130, in <module>
from docopt import docopt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'docopt'

lgexalter1 thats assuming he has pip... otherwize download this script [Login to see the link] and run it, then run lgexalter1's command.

FliphoneBochur I am very much unsure it would work, but... you flashed the f019 and are still in a brick. I think you need to be flashing a newer firmware version, which can possibly be a f119. You are bricked already, so doesn't hurt to try. if that doesnt work, I will software update my f019 and give you that rom (even though id prefer not).

lgexalter1 Thanks! Now after connecting to edl, my computer spat all this back (sorry for posting the whole thing, I just don't know what's important):

I don't know if this has anything to do with this long nonsense (to me), but Zadig says it reinstalled the driver, but it keeps disconnecting the device during installation, and when I manually reboot it into edl and plug it back in the driver is still listed as libusb0, not libusb-win32.
What do I do about both of these?

aapost Thanks! That's exactly what I did

Biden2020prez if they have an f019 hardware model, a firmware for an f019 would be preferable regardless of version.

Running the edl rl command would pull the images without altering the phone, so there is no need to update or alter a phone that is working.

I would recommend that the images you use be pulled using edl to assure compatibility with a push back using edl.

of course remembering to exclude those 5 files mentioned.

lgexalter1 I installed it, but I didn't restart my computer. I just restarted my computer and I didn't get that whole long megillah, but after cmd said Device detected :) it just went to the next command input, and nothing showed up in my output folder. [Login to see the link] any suggestions?

FliphoneBochur Hmm yes, it appears to be a driver issue with windows... On linux you can change some udev rules, but someone else with experience in getting phones/drivers working together on windows will have to assist with that one (I assume that would probably need to occur regardless of what program you used to interact with the phone in edl mode)

So would anybody who knows how to work with that be able to help me with:

He already tried doing the one on Kazuna's site, and is still within his brick.

true. I was saying that I've had many experiences with many of these devices and I think the issues happen when flashing newer devices with the older firmware's on Kazuna's site. By the way, there is also a benefit of flashing the f119 firmware (1. Its factory Unlocked 2. its working with adb). but i guess its worth a try for me to pull my firmware, but its also worth a try for yours. lets both upload it.

FliphoneBochur what is the full output after running edl rl your_dump_folder_name --genxml --loader=path/to/prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn?

make sure your current working directory has a folder you want the files to go in to and that you replace your_dump_folder_name with the name of the folder, and make sure the path after = on loader points to the location where you saved the firehose file prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn.
