<hacker420[m]> <Sid_key[m]> "You can run unsigned fw by that" <- wait really
<Sid_key[m]> Yep
<Sid_key[m]> It makes pbl think that it isn't fused
<hacker420[m]> do you need a firehose loader or something?
<hacker420[m]> or is it some SoC level exploit
<hacker420[m]> oh so it's specifically for land\
<hacker420[m]> wonder if it would work on other 8937 devices
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i'm pretty sure it would be an soc exploit
<jojo_autoboy[m]> unless it got patched in other ones idk
<Sid_key[m]> <hacker420[m]> "do you need a firehose loader or..." <- Yes, but xiaomi provides them
<Sid_key[m]> <hacker420[m]> "wonder if it would work on other..." <- Should work on others too ig, maybe addresses bit different tho
<Sid_key[m]> Also on land you can run unsigned modem
<Sid_key[m]> By kernel exploit
<Sid_key[m]> But that'a land specific bug
<jojo_autoboy[m]> neat
<Sid_key[m]> Sid_key[m]: Need to boot working modem and reload fw
<jojo_autoboy[m]> but uh
<jojo_autoboy[m]> is there any unsigned modem to run?
<Sid_key[m]> You can run any modem fw i mean
<Sid_key[m]> But modem fw should have same antenna as your device
<Sid_key[m]> Or wouldn't work
Daanct12 has joined #msm8937-mainline
<hacker420[m]> wait can you normally boot an os with this
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i uh somehow kinda fail to see the point of doing that unless there's a open firmware for this thing that i highly doupt
<hacker420[m]> jojo_autoboy[m]: you could in theory bypass fw bugs
<hacker420[m]> using other device's fw
<jojo_autoboy[m]> is there any known bugs?
<hacker420[m]> hell knows
<hacker420[m]> we'
<hacker420[m]> * we'll see when we get further
<jojo_autoboy[m]> well not like i'll be using modem anyways
<jojo_autoboy[m]> other then the wifi parts of it
<barni2000[m]> btw xiaomi reusing the sigin keys so if you have newer firmware for the same soc you can use on other xiaomi
<barni2000[m]> s/sigin/siging/
<Sid_key[m]> <barni2000[m]> "btw xiaomi reusing the sigin..." <- No
<Sid_key[m]> riva tz can be used on tiare, that's true
<Sid_key[m]> But santoni can't load fw drom other devices
<Sid_key[m]> land too
<barni2000[m]> but every msm8953 xiaomis can use each others fw
<Sid_key[m]> only prada and land fw looks similar
<Sid_key[m]> barni2000[m]: msm8953 is bit another story
<barni2000[m]> land is much older than santoni
<barni2000[m]> with different bootloader
<Sid_key[m]> land/prada can't use fw from santoni/ugg/whatever
<Sid_key[m]> santoni can't use fw from riva/rolex/tiare
<Sid_key[m]> At least from what I tested long time ago
<Sid_key[m]> Sid_key[m]: Maybe ugg and santoni has same fw, but very unsure
<Sid_key[m]> they have different oems
<Sid_key[m]> tiare, rolex, riva, land, santoni from wingtech
<Sid_key[m]> prada from FIH
<Danct12[m]> hey Sid_key whats up!
<barni2000[m]> land and santoni is wingtech device afaik
<Sid_key[m]> ugg, ugglite don't remember
<Sid_key[m]> Danct12[m]: Hey, fine, you?
<Danct12[m]> never better i'm in-in-in-insane
<Sid_key[m]> X D
<Sid_key[m]> Exams soon here, so bit busy
<Sid_key[m]> But in case if problems I can help
<Danct12[m]> i see yeah, feel free to invite people wanting to help
<Sid_key[m]> Danct12[m]: Okay
<Danct12[m]> please also provide your real name and proper email address if you want to contribute, because it's all gonna go mainline
<Danct12[m]> (in the commit)
<Sid_key[m]> Danct12[m]: Real name where?
<Sid_key[m]> Danct12[m]: Ah
<Sid_key[m]> My email is real
<Sid_key[m]> Second name is fake
<Danct12[m]> anyway Sid_key this is my redmi 4x now XD
<Sid_key[m]> wdum?
<Danct12[m]> hold on
<Sid_key[m]> Okay
<Danct12[m]> lol
<Sid_key[m]> Lk2nd looks good
<Sid_key[m]> Phone is 70% alive x D
<Danct12[m]> xD
<Danct12[m]> the touch screen is very much dead
<Sid_key[m]> Here it's dead at all
<Sid_key[m]> Water killed it
<Sid_key[m]> But everything apart ts works
<Danct12[m]> well it is still being detected for me so it still works
<Danct12[m]> the glass isnt needed at all xD
<Sid_key[m]> Wanna run OWRT on it with modem
<Sid_key[m]> Danct12[m]: Yeah
<Danct12[m]> fun fact the glass was never meant to look like that
<Danct12[m]> i tried to remove glass sharts with my fingernail
<Danct12[m]> and then later tried using a paper knife
<Danct12[m]> x)
<Danct12[m]> i already bought another display with touch screen and frame
<Sid_key[m]> ))
<jojo_autoboy[m]> Sid_key[m]: that's possible on these old things?
<Sid_key[m]> Why not
<Sid_key[m]> msm8916 has OWRT support
<Sid_key[m]> On immortal wrt
<jojo_autoboy[m]> oh missread that slightly
<jojo_autoboy[m]> still cool
<Danct12[m]> if i can get the touch screen removed with the screen intact then i should be able to refurbish it and sell it again
<jojo_autoboy[m]> thankfully my land is in pretty good condition
<Sid_key[m]> Those devices are immortal
<Sid_key[m]> 3.18, 4.9, 4.19, mainline
<Sid_key[m]> X D
<jojo_autoboy[m]> a few dents on the corner and some scratches but perfectly fine
<Danct12[m]> but also handle a lot of abuse
<jojo_autoboy[m]> this thing fell countless times
<jojo_autoboy[m]> Sid_key[m]: indeed lol
<Danct12[m]> my redmi 4x has been going through major abuse when it was with me lmao
<Sid_key[m]> X D
<Danct12[m]> 1. being used as a computer and it was running so hot it throttled hard
<Danct12[m]> 2. drop and slams
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i noticed these things get HOT
<Danct12[m]> i mean if you opened it up and look at how it was built you can see why these things are immortal
<jojo_autoboy[m]> back when frames of phones were solid hunks of metal
<Danct12[m]> up until xiaomi put back glass and stuffs
<Danct12[m]> jojo_autoboy[m]: im sure you can get it even hotter by doing some mods
<Danct12[m]> one nice thing about these phones is that it isn't held by glue and stuffs
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i can pry mine open with just my hands lol
<Danct12[m]> lmao yeah same
<Danct12[m]> it's like it's meant to be opened
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i mean i can do the same with later xiaomi's but this was still the easiest with the lack of glue
<Danct12[m]> later xiaomi has back glass
<Danct12[m]> so you have to be super careful or it breaks
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i pried my 9s glass back off with my hands
<Danct12[m]> like your soul in undertale
<Danct12[m]> eh
<jojo_autoboy[m]> it's not that fragile
<Danct12[m]> oh really
<Danct12[m]> i cant even find a gap for my nail lol
<jojo_autoboy[m]> to be fair i also had to use a credit card
<Sid_key[m]> <Danct12[m]> "1. being used as a computer..." <- Was as server?
<Danct12[m]> Sid_key[m]: not a server but a mini pc xD
<Sid_key[m]> Lul
<Sid_key[m]> With 5 inch screen?
<Danct12[m]> yes
<Danct12[m]> thats why i said i'm insane
<Danct12[m]> i've been doing that long enough
<Sid_key[m]> Meme
<Danct12[m]> the truth is it is actually quite usable once you got things figured out
<Danct12[m]> i had people look at it and be like yo wtf is this shit
<Danct12[m]> lmao
<jojo_autoboy[m]> ok wait hold on what even is the difference between land and santoni
<Sid_key[m]> soc
<jojo_autoboy[m]> like just that?
<Sid_key[m]> msm8937 & msm8940
<Sid_key[m]> Also newer fw
<Danct12[m]> i think land also has rgb led
<Sid_key[m]> And aw87319 instead of aw8716
<Danct12[m]> unlike newer santoni
<Sid_key[m]> Some santoni had rgb led
<jojo_autoboy[m]> yeah land has rgb
<Danct12[m]> yeah, i wonder where did you ever rgb santoni..
<Danct12[m]> maybe they put it in their higher speced one?
<Danct12[m]> i remember there's a 64GB/4GB variant
<Sid_key[m]> It's random
<Sid_key[m]> I've seen 2/16 with rgb led
<Sid_key[m]> Or it was 2/32
<Sid_key[m]> Don't remember
<Danct12[m]> oh
<Sid_key[m]> Surely not 3 gb ram
<Danct12[m]> no wonder why my replacement santoni usb port is rgb
<Danct12[m]> and it even works
<Sid_key[m]> Danct12[m]: ?
<jojo_autoboy[m]> you mean the sub board?
<Danct12[m]> ye
<Sid_key[m]> Interesting
<Danct12[m]> i went to aliexpress and got a replacment of that board and it has rgb led on it
<Danct12[m]> even tested with sysfs and it also works
<Sid_key[m]> Sid_key[m]: Would santoni handle 100+ mbit/s connection by microusb and charging during that time
<Sid_key[m]> And interesting is it possible to get good wifi signal by sodlering(connecting) better wifi antennas
<Sid_key[m]> Sid_key[m]: usb -> ethernet
<Danct12[m]> if only santoni fw can do monitor mode with packet injection
<Danct12[m]> then i'd consider that to be worth it
<Danct12[m]> the issue would be someone would think you're carrying a signal jammer with you LOL
<jojo_autoboy[m]> Sid_key[m]: did that to my mi a2 so should be possible on it
<Sid_key[m]> jojo_autoboy[m]: Does it give good wifi connection or sharing speed or both?
<jojo_autoboy[m]> honestly
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i'm not entirely sure
<jojo_autoboy[m]> it didn't get worse at least
<Sid_key[m]> X D
<jojo_autoboy[m]> it can also grab free wifi from quite a distance so i guess it did something at least
<Danct12[m]> which free wifi did it grab?
<jojo_autoboy[m]> store wifi
<jojo_autoboy[m]> while being outside said stores
<Danct12[m]> hmm there's also a redmi 4
<Danct12[m]> not 4a or 4x, just 4
<Sid_key[m]> Danct12[m]: There is Redmi 4 (India)
<Sid_key[m]> That's santoni
<Sid_key[m]> And there is Redmi 4
<Sid_key[m]> Which is prada
<Sid_key[m]> Sid_key[m]: msm8940
<Sid_key[m]> Sid_key[m]: msm8937
<jojo_autoboy[m]> xiaomi sure likes making a bunch of almost identical phones under different names
<Sid_key[m]> Btw
<Sid_key[m]> prada doesn't have public sources
<Sid_key[m]> We did them by ourselves
<Sid_key[m]> OEM of prada is FIH
<Sid_key[m]> not wingtech
<Sid_key[m]> Sid_key[m]: Closer to Nokia than to Xiaomi
<Danct12[m]> ah, so it's a Nokia in disguise.
<Sid_key[m]> Yeah x D
<Danct12[m]> but also hmd phones sucks
<Danct12[m]> and nokia still makes telecom equipments :P
<hacker420[m]> anyway
<hacker420[m]> can someone test the experimental branch on another 8937?
<hacker420[m]> to confirm if these issues aren't device dependant
<barni2000[m]> yes i can

<hacker420[m]> <barni2000[m]> "yes i can" <- and?
<barni2000[m]> hacker420[m]: i don't test it yet

<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> btw hi everyone, I'm the maintainer of Mi8917 & Mi8937 & Mi439 devices at LineageOS org, and owner of github.com/Mi-Thorium
<Danct12[m]> welcome 0xCAFEBABE
<Danct12[m]> <Danct12[m]> "IMG_20231204_172620.jpg" <- this is the phone im using for mainlining redmi 4x btw xD
<Danct12[m]> the touch screen does not look like that originally, it was originally cracked and i used my fingernail to try and see if i can remove it
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> Danct12[m]: o, i have it too xd
<Danct12[m]> i actually ordered a new screen for it
<Danct12[m]> shipping from china will take a while
<Danct12[m]> if i get a new screen and i can remove the broken touch screen on my old one i should be able to slap on a new touch screen and sell it
<Danct12[m]> "slightly used redmi 4x screen"
<Danct12[m]> barni2000[m]: 14 days is a while for me :P
<Danct12[m]> it actually estimate that they'll deliver on monday
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> barni2000[m]: i don't know yet, haven't give much focus on mainline (would want to start doing mainline whenever I have enough free time in the next year)
<Danct12[m]> i'm currently mainlining two devices
<Danct12[m]> sm6115 and 8937
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> barni2000[m]: btw, the full commit history of dts/xiaomi-msm8937 and techpack/xiaomi-msm8937 are there, if it'd be helpful
<Danct12[m]> i wonder who came up with techpack
<Danct12[m]> * with techpack, last time i worked on downstream all the drivers existed in one directory
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> <Danct12[m]> "i wonder who came up with..." <- are you talking about my device specific techpack which posted above? maybe i'm the first one to do that XD
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> <Danct12[m]> "i wonder who came up with..." <- techpack was first introduced in msm-4.9 and the first member of it is the audio driver
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> btw, I do own all the Mi8937 devices :P
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> I'd like to take care of all of them, when I start to do mainline
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> I own that also (touchscreen is dead tho)
