Samsung: added new Read Codes Online and Read Cert procedures for some Exynos models (only shows for supported models with supported modems, ROOT: NO, KNOX: YES)
Huawei: removed a couple security restrictions for Factory Mode procedures
Huawei: more informative messages on dialogs during procedure execution
Core: more precise remaining time calculation in download manager
Bugfixes:
Huawei: fixed a bug that could occur when using user provided firmware files for soft bricking
Core: various fixes to improve application stability
Core: smaller executable size due to refactoring of resource usage
Generic Qualcomm and Motorola: improved overall stability
Motorola: various bugfixes and improvements in Motorola's Repair Boot procedure
Huawei changes:
Demo Remove procedure is merged with Modify Oeminfo from now
Modify Oeminfo is also available in Fastboot mode
Modify Oeminfo is extended with Convert to Dual SIM and Disable FW compatibility* features
The phone automatically reboots into USB update mode after a successful Modify Oeminfo procedure (to ease the usage of USB Firmware Update procedure)
Restore SIM State** procedure is added
Samsung changes:
improved functionality of CSC Change procedure for the latest firmwares
* By using this checkbox the phone should accept all firmware versions during USB Firmware Update procedure. It doesn't generally mean that it allows version downgrade, because the phone can have different checks against that. It is usually used to let the phone accept a different model's firmware after a model name change.
** The Modify Oeminfo's Convert to Dual SIM feature creates a backup of the phone's original SIM state value, before it does the modification. The backup can be restored with this procedure.
