I think that unlock critical was not done properly before cause in those days that were not well known, this is specially needed when there is an attempt to update some binary as the recoveries seem to have made for newer versions than your bootloader anyway check if something useful can be found under secret codes https://xdaforums.com/t/secret-code-for-huawei-honor-phones.3677121/ or maybe your USB debugging was untoggled?

Anyway I know you wanted backup prior to update to Lollipop but in case none of the recoveries work for KK then you should update it to L without any issue and then flashing it, after that you should backup what you want.

Many thanks for your explanation... I really appreciate your help...

USB debugging is on, but there is no "OEM Unlocking" option in the menu (I guess because of KK)... If I couldn't find any solution I definitely will do what you advised about updating to L.

I'm receiving a Galaxy A52 5G (first Samsung phone since the S2) tomorrow and I would appreciate if someone could point me toward some guides/tools to help get rid of bloatware (I believe the device comes with ONE UI 3.1 be default). I'm interested as well in any ressources to help enhance security/privacy, last few devices were running Lineage OS but I don't want to mess things to much for fear of triggering the Knox feature, at least as long as I got the warranty valid.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Any attempt to root it or unlock it will trigger the Knox/security features and of course the warranty so if you want to stay in the safe side the most you can do by now to "get rid of" (not totally) is disable them using this method https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/ be careful to not disable essential apps, also surprisingly there is a lot of real (that I should call them) bloatware that can be uninstalled too.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Uninstall the Huawei Suite app, uninstall all the drivers that are for Huawei and also those that you don´t use anymore, this is just an example from cleaning applications that can ease the task on Windows https://www.raymond.cc/blog/uninstall-hidden-devices-calling-ghostbuster/ sometimes we "collect" a lot of useless drivers for devices that we don´t have anymore.

Disconnect your device from PC and now install only those you really need right now and after you finish connect your device again and wait for it to prompt to allow transfer files (don´t touch your screen in the meantime or the message it´s gone) also no need to enable USB debugging for that and the mtp option in developer section only put as priority one of the modes already available for connection, it doesn´t really help for this purpose.

I don´t think you can use that list as it is, there are some essential and dependencies to some apps can work well. You only should disable those that can you see and interact with as user and that may consume more resources, in my opinion not those from the core.
[General Questions and Answers] nemo436:
Thank you for reply! But unfortunately, the official website does not provide a firmware upgrade for this device(X5-touch), so I don’t know if there are other solutions.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I know that, at least in the official site I didn´t see a single firmware available. I just pointed out to a probability to get it this way, read carefully again my post, I think it worth a try.

A short background; some other OEMs although they provide official firmware also they have some flashing tools (proprietary or not) to download, transfer and flash the firmware onto device, this happens with XperiFirm for Xperia or Frija and SamFirm for Samsung devices just to mention three; in a part of the process you should find the firmware into some path, in your case the folder is created in Program Files.

I can´t prove it my self so I don´t have this device; what the osf file does after connect your device with PC interfacing the upgrader tool between both is to read directly the SKU and IMEI and starts the downloading process, unless this whole thing and this brand that I don´t know its reputation is a joke this would work this way.

[General Questions and Answers] Crrrr:
Hello,

Q: What is the correct (and simplest) way to install Samsung firmware updates?

Presently, I install the Samsung firmware using Odin (BL, AP, CP, CSC), then flash the TWRP (AP) with Odin, wipe everything, then install the custom ROM.

Is there a simpler way?

I mention that currently I am using a lineage GSI image as custom rom and that in the "Tremble app" it says it does not allow seemliness updates. By the way, what does that last part mean?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You mean G530FZXXS1BSB2 or G530FZXEF1BSB2 or G530FZXXS1BQC4 so they´re different firmwares, the first two are for different regions: XXS and XEF and the third is a different revision (lower) than the first being both XXS but it´s BQC4 against BSB2.

Firstly you should have to choose from the right region and the correct revision to not downgrade your device (although is probably that flashing be accepted so both are in same bootloader number)

Second; if the tar it´s not splited on 4, 5 or more files then you could take a look on it and see what it contains, if there is not userdata and/or CSC file you can flash it using AP box in Odin and won´t erase your userdata.

Unable to decrypt my phone and access my data.

Context:

I switched from using pattern lock to password. There wasn't a problem until my phone randomly rebooted. The on-screen keyboard wouldn't appear when I needed to enter in my password, I couldn't unlock my phone. My device is the Oneplus 5T, using the official nightly 16.1 build (LOS).

I browsed xda and found this post: https://xdaforums.com/t/remove-bypass-lockscreen-with-recovery.3530008/

I only found the locksettings.db file and deleted it. After doing so and booting in to android the phone was unlocked, however a "android is starting" message appeared that didn't go away. The phone was unusable (launcher didn't start). It was possible to go into settings by swiping down the notifications and then press the cog wheel. In settings I made sure it was set to no password and tried re-booting. Same "android is starting" message appeared, however when booting into twrp I still had to enter my previous password which was strange. So I booted in to android again but this time switched my password to a simple pattern lock to see if it would fix anything. Now my phone only boots into twrp and the pattern doesn't work, there are no options to enter the password with characters.

Current state:

Haven't had access to my phone for 3 days, have no clue what to do. I'm aware that deleting the .db file was dumb to do, but I didn't know better at the time. I should have backed up my data beforehand, but really didn't think it could get any worse. Any help is highly apprecited!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:

[General Questions and Answers] luutoo:
Removing the password didn't work since I couldn't unlock the device in order to remove the password. Instead I followed the post (that I linked), removed the locksettings.db file, after that the phone was unlocked but gave me an "android is starting message". I could open settings and change the password to none, once in twrp I still had to enter my old password. So I booted into android and changed it to a simple pattern password. Now the pattern that I entered doesn't work in twrp, and I'm locked out from my device and android doesn't boot (only twrp).

I didn't format the device because I still wanted access my data (pictures and so on). Yes I should have backed up my data while I still had access to twrp, but I didn't think this would happen. Is there anything I can do? Thanks for any help!

Another user commeted (might be helpful):

"That technique used to work on older phones, but modern ones are all encrypted by default so deleting that file is basically telling the phone "Don't worry, it's not got a password on it" but the underlying storage is still encrypted so it can't be accessed. That's why even after it 'unlocked' the launcher didn't start properly. I'm not familiar enough with Android encryption to know whether you've deleted a salt file needed to decrypt the device."
[General Questions and Answers] Totesnochill:
It worked - flashing the device on AP with the abovementioned ROM did not delete the userdata and fixed the boot loop problem. Thank you very much!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I guess you flashed something while you already had a password, prior to do some major modification or update is always advisable to remove your password, now that you deleted that file mentioned you need to format data in order to can boot so encryption measure was activated, Did you try flashing DMVerity? or probably you can transfer that files you want while connected through TWRP if your internal storage is visible or you should try with adb pulling out through TWRP advanced sideload options. I also read some time ago that doing a password as pattern is possibly to delete it/remove it completely by using the numbers for those which the pattern trace pass through, for example an L would be 1, 4, 7, 8 and 9 in a 3x3 frame.

Question: what is the most thorough, reliable and stable app for backing up all data for rooted lineage 17.1 installed devices?

New lineageOS user here, I'm having trouble figuring out how to backup my data for all my configured android/lineageOS system settings – such as apps & notifications, battery, display, developer options, styles, network & internet settings, etc.

There's seedvault that already comes with lineage as the default backup app, but for whatever reason it only backs up apps and app data for me. There's a 2 minute tutorial video for seedvault on lineage on YouTube, and in the video you can clearly see the system apps and settings are able to be backed up. However that's not the case when I tried creating a backup on my internal storage, (which I planned on moving to a flashdrive after the backup process) instead I'm only able to backup user apps and app data, no option to include or exclude system apps and settings for me.

So I looked around for different apps to use since there's hardly any tutorial or help information on the seedvault's github, and I kept seeing a software called Titanium Backup. Then I looked up Titanium backup on aurora, but it seems to not be in development anymore(last update november2019) and there's also many reviews which claim it doesn't work well with android 10 based OS.

I should also mention the reason I'd like to backup these system settings is in case I wanted to update/change lineage builds, but I think whoever reading this already assumed as much.
