How to Unbrick (Debrick) Qualcomm Android Devices Using your SD Card

If you have stayed with different bricked Qualcomm Android devices long enough, you will understand that different solutions apply to different Qualcomm Android devices in different bricked state.

And more often than not, you may have to apply at least, 2 different unbrick (debrick) methods before most bricked Qualcomm devices could be recovered from the brick state.

Exaple

    Let's say you have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Pro) that's stuck at Qualcomm QHSUSB_Bulk or Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 bricked state and needs to be recovered.. First, you might have to get it out of the QHSUSB_Bulk mode first then, flash it using MiFlash, Tool Studio eMMC Download tool or QFIL (QPST) and that is if your Redmi Note 3 eMMC is not corrupted else, you'll have one more step to take!

That's enough an intro! Now, how can you unbrick (debrick) your Qualcomm android device using your SD Card?


What Does this Method Do?

1. This method turns your SD Card to a bootable partition that can be mounted by your device so that Qualcomm flash tools such as QFIL, TooL Studio and others can detect it.

2. Even completely DEAD Qualcomm android device will be awaken and be detected by your PC using this method.


How Does this Method Works?

First, the Requirements:

    1. An SD Card. 4GB at the least. A huger storage (8GB, 16GB) maybe demanded depending on your phone's file volume when it's unpacked.

    2. Your device exact variant. NOTE: this is not needed if you are able to download it online. You can also request for yours on A B C PSR Suit Lab.

    3. A full backup block (blk0) in .img format of another fully functional and working device. It must be your device exact variant. !Important.

How to Make A (Bootable) Live SD Card and Unbrick Qualcomm Devices

1. Get another exact variant of your device and INSERT an SD Card on it. The device chipset must be the same. Thus, if your device (bricked) is MSM8269, the required device CPU has to be MSM8269, too.

2. Root the working (exact variant) device and install Terminal Emulator on it.

3. Download and install Busybox on the device. You may download Busybox from here

4. Once BusyBox is installed, launch/open it and run/install its dependencies/files by clicking on the appropriate key.

5. Now, launch/open Terminal Emulator on the device and follow these procedures:

and hit/tap the Enter key.

6. Wait few minutes or until Terminal Emulator completes the process.

7. Now, check the Root Folder/Directory of the SD Card inserted on the phone. You will notice that a file named Loader.img has been created.

Qualcomm Device Unbrick .img File

GOOD! That's your Qualcomm device Unbrick file. Copy the file onto your PC and continue to the step two (2) below.


strong>NOTE: What we have done in the steps above is that; we have copied all the necessary partition required to boot your Qualcomm android device and compressed it in a .img file. -file format that is widely supported by fastboot commands and can be flashed on SD Card


Now, here is how to flash Loader.img file we created from the first step on your SD Card.

As for what's under the hood, one of the variants is to be powered by Snapdragon 820 chipset while the other one would be running on Exynos 7420 chipset. Both the processors are coupled with 4 GB of RAM. The tablet will be arriving with a 9.7-inch display that would carry 2,048 x 1,536 pixels.

All rumours point to the Tablet being launched in the first quarter of this year.

Trump's Next Executive order could Hit Tech companies hard




America's President Donald Trump has somehow incensed the entire world again this time with his restriction on Immigration from certain countries that are largely Islamic.

Since then there have been a ton of protests from people all over against the move, but from the looks of things, this may only be the start.


According to Bloomberg, a new executive order set to be launched will crack down on the work visa program in the US. Foreign work visas, known as H-1B visas, are important to the hiring practices of US tech companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft.

If the order goes through, companies could have to change hiring practices and attempt to find employees in the US first before seeking workers internationally, according to the report. Seeing as a lot of tech talent comes from overseas, this could hit tech companies who hire a lot of foreign talent.


The move will most likely elicit robust responses from tech companies who have been very vocal in their displeasure of the immigration restriction by the US government.

So it remains to be seen when the law could go into action, but it sure seems that there's a storm.

How your Pattern Lock on Android can be cracked in just 5 attempts






Feeling safe with the Pattern lock on your Android phone? Think again! If you feel secure with your Android phone's lock pattern, think again. 

According to a new report from Tech times, a group of researchers from the Lancaster University, Northwest University in China, and the University of Bath found out that Android's pattern lock system can be cracked in just five attempts. 

What's worse? the more complex your pattern, the easier it is to crack. Yes, i kid you not.

The Pattern Lock is one of three security levels on the common Android phone. There's just the swipe screen and also the security code. The Lock Pattern is often described as a mid-level security measure, not too easy to crack but also not the safest.


According to the report, researchers have through the use of a sophisticated algorithm software, been able to crack the code by filming and analyzing fingertip movements and positioning of the device. Researchers used 120 unique patterns that were collected from different users and were able to figure out more than 95% of the patterns in just 5 attempts.

There is general worry that this method of cracking your code would enable thieves to obtain personal information from stolen phones. This algorithm can also be used by attackers across the room inside a busy café or a restaurant.

According to 
Dr. Zheng Wang of Lancaster University "Pattern lock is a very popular protection method for Android devices. As well as for locking their devices, people tend to use complex patterns for important financial transactions such as online banking and shopping because they believe it is a secure system,

"However, our findings suggest that using Pattern Lock to protect sensitive information could actually be very risky."


The group also remarkably found that the more complicated a pattern, the easier it is to crack because they narrow down the possible options. Guixin Ye, a researcher from Northwest University, added that it might even be safer to use shorter, simpler patterns instead of the more complex ones.


So perhaps when next you want to sort security for your Android phone, you can use a pin code instead or if you insist on patterns then at least try hiding it whenever you want to access your phone.

Even The British Military Prefer the iPhone 7 to the Android





The debate as to which OS trumps the other between the Google's Android and Apple's OS will continue to rage as long as both systems exists, it does seem that Apple is winning-- or at least they are in the eyes of the British military.

According to a new report from TechRepublic, the UK Ministry of Defence recently have chosen Apple’s iPhone 7 as the “device of choice” for sensitive communications that warrant the utmost security against malicious actors.

Also reported is that BT, England's communication giant is already doing their utmost to heighten the security safeguards on the iPhone 7 for military and defense personnel. 

Once done, the users of these secured iPhones will be able to adjust the security mode of their device depending on the level of sensitivity a particular communication demands. The report also adds that BT is also working on methods to develop “secure storage containers” for top-secret data.

From the looks of things though it seems like the initial plan was to work with the Samsung Note 4. According to Steve Bunn, BT’s technical business manager for defence, work on a secured communications device was initially with Samsung.

“But as more and more development and testing was done,” Bunn explained, “the security associated with it wasn’t deemed to be sufficient, so that’s why we moved [to iPhone].”

Now this seems like a slight on Samsung, so to make nice BT issued a follow-up statement indicating that the Note 4’s security wasn’t inadequate.

“We would like to clarify that the MoD has not expressed any views about the suitability of dual-persona technology from specific handset/technology vendors and is prototyping a range of devices,”

So which OS do you think is more secure, the Android or Apple's OS?
