[General Questions and Answers] PiDev2000:
Hello, I have a general, functional question.

I'd like to port an older version of Android to a newer phone.

I am 95% sure the phone can be rooted, as there are other posts on the forum about this phone.

No, VMOS would not be sufficient.

I mean, I did it with a slow Windows Vista / 7 computer, converting it to XP, and it ran well for many years (still runs well for older games, not going to lie.) I know I need to make sure the components have compatibility, and that's the next step. But in general, is it possible?

(Moving 8.1 onto an Android 11 device.)

Hi there.

I need help, guys.

I had my phone stolen from me and I cannot afford a new one now. Not even the cheapest phone out there.

I have found a ZTE Blade V7 (non Lite, non Max) in a drawer and it runs stock Android 6. This is the latest firmware from ZTE.

I've been trying to find ways to flash TWRP so I can get at least Android 8 with unofficial Lineage OS. I already downloaded the ROM and I simply cannot find a way to flash TWRP. I am kind of a newbie, I have done this many years ago but it looks like things have changed.

I need to upgrade this device because I can't work with Android 6. My bank doesn't work, my work-related app doesn't work, nothing works. It would be a temporary phone, hopefully.

If anyone can help a broken man, that would be great.

Hello there! I would like to ask on how to switch from magisk stable to canary. I use an AB device, and i have used the patch boot method. Apparently the only way to use canary, is to dirty flash via custom recovery. The problem i had last time is, my phone bricked flashing magisk using twrp to get root access. Is there a way to return in case i mess up? What should i backup, to result in minimum loss of data? My device is an infinix note 10 pro, its a device that is not talked on often. An insight would be appreciated! Thank you.

been a while xda...

i have an s22. its an unlocked phone purchased from best buy, if i recall. i have the old / generally glorious verizon unlimited plan.

long story short, with the latest android update, the phone will no longer let me hotspot / tether. I had thought i was past this... during 2010, there was this constant battle between Verizon and letting me hotspot my damn device, and i ended up rooting every phone i had, installing custom OS's, etc to enable the feature. which was the reason i originally visited this site back in the day, installing Cyanogen and LineageOS on old motorolas. but my last several phones have had the feature and no drama was involved. i intentionally bought an 'unlocked' s22 hoping that would help, but i guess that makes no difference.

i need the hotspot for work. given i have the glorious older plan, i don't want to change it. whether i 'need' the old unlimited plan is a completely valid question and warrants a separate discussion.. but if the s22's ability to hotspot had been disabled from the start, I would have returned it. and i fundamentally hate the idea of verizon or anyone else disabling features on my device that work perfectly fine in an attempt to charge me for something they didn't even build / provide.

i'd really look to avoid doing the same to this device (rooting + custom OS), because (a) it was always a PITA and (b) i have work 3rd party authentication stuff on it that i think may not work if i do. plus, at least back in the day, samsungs were much more difficult to do this to. cursory google searches indicate that some people have found workarounds, like toggling airplane mode or something, but my random attempts to replicate these workarounds has not proven fruitful.

that said, what options do i have for restoring the hotspot feature?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Build.prop file can be found, in the ROM itself, it can be pulled out from, and pushed in, again, to the same path, you should need a custom recovery, or, modify the image, then back, flash it again.

But, if you was able to modify that, why you shouldn´t use that same method, to revert it?

How do I install firmware on a specific partition via adb sideload?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 (gta4lte) SM-T505, and I can't install custom firmware... I don't have any media for this, i.e. I need to install the firmware from twrp to system using dynapatch, but I can't upload the image without a flash drive, even with root, twrp doesn't allow me to enter the storage\emulated\0\ or sdcard\ partition. And through adb sideload pc writes total xfer: 0.00x and on the tablet nothing, because you need to put the image in the system, and if dynapatch does not work through sideload what do I do? (don't write "buy a flash drive or a cd card, please).

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it a stock OnePlus firmware update, you should remove root, replace TWRP with your stock recovery and undo any system modifications you applied/made to your system partition. Stock OTA updates typically require stock recovery and an unmodified system partition in order to update without softbricking the device. Applying stock updates on devices that are rooted and/or have a custom recovery and/or have other system modifications tends to softdrink the device. This is not always true for all devices but it is true for the majority of devices and there is no way to know if it is safe to do on your device unless ou do some research and find where someone else with your exact same device has successfully updated their device after being rooted without damaging the device.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your options are:

1) replace the broken screen.

2) take the device to a professional shop where they have the tools and the experience to pull your data directly from the hardware chip inside the device.

You absolutely will not be able to solve this on your own because you did not have USB debugging enabled and there is no way to enable it now unless you repair the broken hardware. Your only solution to retrieve your data yourself is to repair the broken screen.
[General Questions and Answers] Puddies:
@Droidriven Thank you very much for your reply! I still have stock recovery, I never installed TWRP on this phone. What do you mean by system modifications? Do magisk modules like pgsharp, systemless hosts, universal safetynet fix count? I also use Macrodroid for starting an app when my device connects to my car Bluetooth

Disconnect your device from PC, then you need to wipe data, then reboot again to recovery, then reconnect device to the PC, be sure that the zip contains legible files to be flashed, I encountered some zips, inside zips, in the past.

[General Questions and Answers] wgnv5921:
Hello,

I want to try GSI images with my phone (Cat S22 Flip) but before I do that I want to ensure that I have a dump of the super partition so that I can restore it if things go wrong.

I have a rooted my phone and I have dd dumped the super partition via adb shell.

The dumped image seems to unpack with lunpack and I can mount the system.img extracted from lpunpack via losetup etc.

So I'm assuming I have a correct and working super partition image.

Can I now test it by flashing this dumped image to the phone via fastboot before creating & trying GSI images?

Thanks!

No, Xiaomi don´t provide a key, for all Xiaomi devices that come with MiuiOS, or HyperOS, you have to use Mi Unlock tool https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html. for those based in Android One. is, as easy, as typing fastboot oem unlock, through fastboot, without a key.

You have to make some previous steps, like enabling USB debugging, bind your account to that device (using only mobile data), and probably, after to run the tool, you will be prompted for the 168 waiting hours.

Did you try using ADB commands? And, also, not sure, which buttons, you´re using to can boot to recovery, and assuming your tablet is a MediaTek, probably, you can access to the boot menu, using, first PWR button, then the two volume buttons together, till the menu appears, from the list you could choose, boot to fastboot, boot to recovery, and boot to system.

[General Questions and Answers] jordy_poco:
Hi, I'm jordy and I'm having an issue with my POCO M4 Pro. Today I turned it off and when it restarted I got a "dm-verity corruption" message.

I pressed the power button again to continue and it seemed to start the phone (I saw the normal screen with widgets for a while), then it restarted again. Now, if I press the power button or hold the power button and the volume up or down buttons at the same time I just get a black screen with an orange text for FASTBOOT.

I would like to keep my data (not have it wiped), for now I'm using an older and slower phone (moved sim card). What can I do ? I looked into a thread that recommended some fastboot commands with adb. I've downloaded the adb tools, but it doesn't seem like it can detect the phone in its current state or maybe I'm plugging it in at the wrong time. Is the bootloader locked ? Do you know of any trustworthy tools to unlock it ? How to I avoid locking it again when trying to fix the issue ?

English is not my first language so please be understanding if I don't get what you mean straight away. I've never made any kind of changes to past phones, so this is a first for me.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice provided.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don´t have this device, so, I can´t provide for you such file, but, usually, the first attempt, we make to find something for, is doing a simple search, with some tags like "... custom firehose for (your device model)..."

this is a different error, be sure your device is detected under Windows devices manager, it must appear in the COM PORT or similar.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You, rarely, and only when you know exactly, what you´re doing, have to use the Format data feature, this option can erase the NVRAM, IMEI, calibration, sensors, and more, the function is intended for developers/testers, to be used, never for a non-experienced user. And also, YT, is not a technological site, is a platform, where, (almost) anyone can upload a video, pretending to be the panacea, instead, visit sites where you can get more and better knowledge, in regard, what you are willing/trying to do.

Now, you have, a long trip to restore, to solve that issues. try to search for every of them, but, one by one. some of them, probably can´t be solved, without specialized assistance, I mean, pay services.
