[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
You would have to check with a carrier, if one exists for this tablet or with the manufacturer of the tablet to see if any official firmware exists. Unless the bootloader can be unlocked you won't be able to flash any updated firmware unless it is officially signed by the same tags used to sign previous firmware versions. If it cannot be unlocked then one can assume the possibility of root access and even then depending on the partition layout you would probably only be able to update system rather than the entire device itself which would be possible to do if a custom ROM exists for the device or you have the ability to flash a generic system image.

Hello, this is my first post here (or maybe not? I'm not sure honestly), but i'm getting a little annoyed.

I admit it, a while ago, i tried to root my samsung galaxy A32. I don't even know why, but it was probably to use some app that required it. I followed a tutorial and, not only it didn't work, but it also make the phone reboot in download mode everytime there's an update available. I have a solution for that, which consist of updating through my computer, but it is a huge annoyance. I did remove the root, reactivate secure boot, completely format the phone, but it doesn't change. Everytime i update through the phone, download mode... And it reboot perpetually on download mode unless i update through my computer.

This is... quite annoying, and i wonder if any of you here have any solutions for me. If there's none, i will continue updating with my computer. I already have access to the dev option in the settings, so if there's manipulations i need to do here, i can.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

1.- Unroot completely from Magisk.

2.- Format data, not through system, but through recovery.

3.- Flash the same, or the latest firmware available through Odin, be sure to flash also the CSC file.

4.- In recovery format all again.

5.- Go to bootloader mode, and relock OEM.

6.- Reboot normally.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If the searching of a TWRP for your device doesn't produce a affirmative result, then there is not one available for, at least, one that was published.

And no, a TWRP for a different device may not work, and may cause a brick.

How to flash Sony Xperia Z3 D6653 with emma, it says, the device is end of support, someone help me, thanks in advance.

#Sony #z3 #D6553
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Typically, stock OTA updates cannot be applied to a device that has a modified system partition(and would probably result in a bootloop or softbricking the device if you did).

Unroot/un-modify your system partition the run the update then re-root/modify the system partition after the update. You may have to flash a copy of your currently installed firmware(this will remove root and any system modifications), then run the OTA update, then root/modify after the update.

Sometimes, there are no shortcuts.

A bootanimation can´t lag a device, once, it completed its role. Solution: revert it, the same way you tried several bootanimations, put one that you know it worked before.

Firstly, search, if something exists for this device, I mean, if there is custom development around it, then go straight.
[General Questions and Answers] Totty:
There are several "file locations" found on your device. As always, the boot partrition stays untouched when performing factory reset. Factory reset deletes your data.

In general, if youre familiar with fastboot, you could extract the ROM youre using, usually WinRAR is enough, or even the inbuilt software from Windows should do the job, find the boot.img and flash it in fastboot using

fastboot flash boot boot.img

"boot.img" also refers to the location of the boot.img, meaning, if you have extracted the boot.img to desktop, its easier to open the CMD/Powershell on desktop for the whole process being easier

Please note, im answering this question in general and your experience may vary depending on the device youre using, i did not do any research regarding your device.

EDIT: Or reflashing the whole ROM works aswell as it contains boot.img too

PLEASE HELP

I rooted my Samsung A04 a few days ago and today I was installing a substratum theme and the second I enabled it my entire phone screen went black and I could only see the 3 poewr, restart, emergency button when I held the on button of the phone. I restarted the phone a few times, nothing was happening it was being weird I tried going into download mode and doing all that I somehow turned on safe mode and my phone is on right now in safe mode. But now what do i do, I cant open that app and revoke what I did cuz safe mode is only system, will factory resetting the phone remove what the substratum lite app did?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Yes factiory reseting should undo what substratum has broken. Have you tried deleting substrutum or the theme in recovery mode? I am assuming you have something like TWRP or can access the phone in root ADB from recovery.

Can anybody suggest a type a to type a USB cable for adbing into an android TV box? I've tried several and have had zero success getting adb to list the device. Done on Linux and windows with the necessary drivers. Have been using the 2.0 ports and both 2.0/3.0 cables. I have even tried a working USB a to micro with a micro to USB a adapter that failed to work.

The box is a H96 max X3 and only has USB type a ports.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Have you enabled USB debugging in the system settings of the Android box?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I know you are asking specifically regarding a cable, but since you didn't explicitly exclude it, does the TV by any chance have WiFI? I do 99% of my ADB over WiFI.

On the cable front, historically, I have generally found the most "expensive" cables are the best, you get what you pay for and they are sold in physical stores (not eBay) that have a return policy. I currently use a thick insulated Cygnett cable, but for me, thats mainly because it has the best charging performance.
[General Questions and Answers] jlark9214:
Yes, I have enabled USB debugging

I did manage to activate the wireless adb, I was hoping to do some flashing to the box though and was under the impression it would have to be a physical connection.

I haven't tried any of the pricy cables yet so I will give that a shot.

[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
So I've discovered a bit about the Note 9 I've been trying to tinker with. I'm almost 100% certain that somebody else has already tried. There are various things within the system properties that tell me this is a likely scenario. My first piece of evidence was looking at recovery log throughout the history of the device which are hidden from recovery but if you activate certain functions through the service menus it will save a log. Aside from the many OTAs it seems firmware was flashed or attempted to have been flashed to this device at least five or six times. Doesn't seem like there were any problem until I discovered what the phones firmware is supposed to be rather than what it is now. It drives me to say this but it's Verizon however, anytime I flash stock firmware it goes right to an AT&t stock. If I flash T-Mobile I get AT&t if I flash Verizon I get AT&t however everything tells me this device should be Verizon. I'm not familiar enough for Samsung devices but I'm pretty sure even if the device is carrier unlocked it should take whatever firmware your flashing to it from whatever carrier you decide to go with if I'm not mistaken. It seems the only thing I can change that would suggest any kind of firmware change is the CSC file. Flashing from various providers certain apps become unfrozen or reactivated and others will reappear or disappear and so on. But I have to use a special tool to do this in which I pay a subscription on a 3-month basis. Because the flashing firmware through Odin does work it will only still boot to stock AT&t after flashing even after using the pit file or even erasing everything. This may be the only time I will ever say this and screenshot it if you like, but how would I go about getting this back to a full Verizon stock if no matter what happens after flashing I simply just get AT&t again?

I have half-bricked my phone.

I think the problem is that I've root-uninstalled basicdream.

So now when I boot the phone, the interface is not showing up. I can access some menus by swiping down and accessing the setting menu, and from there I'm able to access things like chrome and googeplay, the problem is that I've also uninstalled the default download app, so I can't download anything.

It's a device on android 5, so factory resetting is not helping.

Is there a way to instal an apk from a PC ?

edit : ok, I've managed to instal a different launcher using ADB, but I still can't download anything.

I've tried installing a different download manager, but it doesn't work.

I think I have to reinstall the default download manager but I can't find it
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Could it be a binary bit conflict causing the firmware to not flash? If the binary of the firmware that you are trying to flash is lower than the binary of the firmware that is currently installed, the flash will not be successful because it will not accept a downgraded binary bit. It could also possibly be a bootloader mismatch.

If it actually is a Verizon device and has AT&T firmware on it, I'm surprised a Verizon bootloader allowed the firmware to be changed to AT&T.

You might have to force the firmware to flash using JTAG.

Let's say that my gmail is set up using 2fa with google authenticator.

Let's say that a bad guy has my email address and access to the phone with my google authenticator on it, but they don't have anything else useful. They don't know my password, for example.

*Can the bad guy likely get acess to my gmail account?*

I feel like maybe the answer is yes, because I tried the initial steps of account recovery, said i forgot my password, and the first thing it asked for was my 2fa. I stopped at that point. Maybe it was going to ask for something else after that, but maybe not.

I'm also interested in other collections of "minimal information" that could be used to recover my account; I've searched a bit but it's not clear to me. For example, could i recover my account using only my recovery email, or would I also need my otp or something else? (I'm pretty sure the answer to that particular one is yes, you need the otp or else a whole bunch of other stuff.) Stuff like that. Can you recommend any resources?

Of course I realize that I shouldn't let things get to that point.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Well it's not necessarily a problem per se. Aside from firmware not updating when flashed. I already know about the downgrading of the binaries because unless it is an engineering image then Odin won't even let you flash. It could have at some point been a combination rom. That's about the only conclusion I can come up with as of the moment. But then it's weird I can't find a combination ROM to work. And it's also kind of weird that I've had the same problem on another Samsung, A10e (SMA102U). It took me a while to even find an Odin that would flash anything that wouldn't cause a protocol error. And even then the firmware does not appear to update and though it may say it has flashed I don't think it has I think it just does everything else to and including a factory reset and using a pit file.

How to make a firmware for new phones in galaxy A4 5g? Or os vertion for it?
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
That depends on whether or not your device is protected via factory reset protection or not.

I think the only ability they will be able to have if they have access to the device along with the account, would be to remove the account from the device. As long as you have two factor authentication and other security measures in place doing it through the actual Google account settings would mean you need to enter a PIN code or however your 2FA is set up. Also most people don't understand what factory reset protection is (frp). If you set up a PIN number or pattern or whatnot when you set up your device that's also setting up factory reset protection so until you account is removed from the device then any reset on it would trigger FRP. At that point they won't be able to use the device (allegedly) with Google services unless it is reattached with the email it was previously set up with.

So interesting times with this device. Still can't figure out what the heck is going on but I can't pass safety net worth the damn. Definitely explains a problem or two with some applications and why they're not available to me, but I'm not rooted. At least anything that I've installed to check if I am, says I'm not. Can't even pass an integrity test with the Play store developer options. It's telling me to restore the stock ROM which is exactly what I've been trying to figure out how to do given my situation. Would also help to know exactly what ROM I'm supposed to flash lol. But I really can't believe it's making all this fuss over changing a CSC file. If that means I'm not on a stock ROM then times really have changed.

My friend claims that the attacker would still likely be unable to access my gmail account with only my 2fa and username.

Does that sound right to you?
