I need some help.

Someone has hacked my phone with a spy app. As far as I can tell it was a hacked version of Google Chrome. I need help finding out how they did this and gathering evidence as to who did it. I have a very good idea of who it was but need proof. What they did is against state and federal wiretapping laws. They had access to my screen, my cameras, and microphone. Please help.

Hello, I have Samsung Galaxy S8+. My phone isn't turning on. Tried pressing different combination of buttons for prolong time but nothing happened. If I put my phone on charge then it heats up after some time. Any other way to troubleshoot or if I have to open it up? If I open it up then how can I troubleshoot? It was working fine and suddenly stopped.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If it´s not a hardware failure then you should check if some malware was installed lastly by entering to safe mode (press pwr button till Samsung logo appears then quickly release it and press volume down till device boots completely. In safe mode you should see in the app list sorted by installation time if some of them is causing the issue.

Another option is to go to stock recovery (pwr button + vol up) and clear caches.

If it doesn´t solve the next step is by formatting data.

Take a look on the screen, some warning txt/message.

If it doesn´t solve next step might be flashing the firmware that is currently running.

If it is not solved and no clue neither on the recovery nor download screen (look on them carefully) then it would be a hardware failure.

Good afternoon I am one of those people who always likes to have the best, but I live in the third world, so the best I could have is a BLU vivo one Plus (2019), I adapted a 1160 MAH battery for a 3000 , the fingerprint reader does not work and stops counting, to solve that problem try to put a ROM with the "SP Flash Tools" Tool, now the phone does not turn on and I can not get the Rom for it, I would appreciate it if I help .. .

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Hi, English is required in this forum.

In a quick search I didn´t find the firmware that you are needing, I guess you also can do a search typing: "Blu Vivo One Plus 2019 V037WW firmware" if it is something out there it must be found.

In the meantime you can try by formatting data if you are able to boot to stock recovery manually always that the wrong firmware that you flashed didn´t brick your device.

Still cannot cannot view or have access to my Google discover feed. I figured it might have been a problem with me disabling my carriers setup wizard,because it was the only thing in common between both devices in which I'm having the problem. I had disabled both of the stock setup wizards but not Androids, just the carriers.So I re-enabled them cleared their data things started to happen but still nothing that seemed to suggest it was being fixed. There is only one anomaly I have seen happen when doing all of this clearing the app data downgrading apps and re-upgrading them, anytime it involves doing so with a Play store application a download starts to happen as if an update is about to occur.but the download doesn't finish and it doesn't stay on the status bar long enough for me to find out what it is. In the meantime this is the only thing I cannot access in my Google account. I am signed in on this device and the other device which I do not have on me at the moment.

Hi All,

Android Auto Question for Redmi Note 9 Pro:

I have two Xiaomi Phones - a Mi9 and a Redmi Note 9 Pro - both on Stock MIUI 12 Global Rom

On my Mi9, I can see most apps I want in my Android Auto app and add them to the home screen using the customise launcher. Apps like Signal, Telegram, VLC player, SMS, etc.

For some reason I can't add or see these same app my Redmi Note 9 Pro. Even with Spotify, I had to allow "unknown sources" to see it as an app.

I have tried to enable dev settings in the app and enabled unknown sources, but still no luck.

Anyone know how to fix and add these apps to Android Auto

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I´m not sure if this is the right place to discuss about Windows but just some short ideas:

You can´t "fix" the "issue" doing it from the same partition where now Chromium OS did take the control so obviously it´s replaced the Windows OS.

You should burm a Windows ISO and then boot it from your BIOS/UEFI, format the current partition from the disc installation setup and install again Windows.

Of course there are other methods available.

I need some help, I think I ****ed up.

I got a new phone - Xiamoi Poco X3 NFC. Right at the beginning I wanted to debloat it with the Xiamo ADB Fastboot Tools. I did this in the past with my old phone - Xiamoi Rednote 5. Worked like a charm.

So I looked up a list, what stuff I can remove. Looks like I uninstalled gboard, so I don't have a keyboard on my phone. So I can't use my phone now, because I can't type anything.

I tried to put some keyboards as .apk on a sdcard and installed them. But It didn't worked. I can't put it in debugmode again, if I out it on the USB-Cable, nothing happens.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Knueppelmann:
Well, I don't know how, but I was able to install the keyboard with an .apk on a sd card... So I guess the problem is solved :)

Hello megaminds

I am having some trouble trying to unlock bootloader of an

acer liquid e380 using adb commmands.

I have done the following.

Heres some background info i do believe i got the drivers cause my computer can see it and i also needed those drivers when i flashed latest stock rom using sp flashtool.

Edit: btw i am using a laptop running windos 10

what happens is this when using adb commands

C:\Users\n>cd downloads

C:\Users\n\Downloads>cd fastboot

C:\Users\n\Downloads\fastboot>adb reboot bootloader

C:\Users\n\Downloads\fastboot>fastboot oem unlock

…

also tried this one fastboot flash oem unlock i get the same 3 dots and nothing happens?

now when trying to see if bootloader is unlocked or not the number code thing using the call app doesnt work.

Also the same happens when i try to see if bootloader is unlockable?

…

I read somewhere that old mtk chips phones didnt have bootloader so was open so i tried to put a recovery i found in xda forum and then i get this it constantlly stays on booting.

However on xda forum thread for this phone i do see a how unlock bootloader so i geuss that is unlikelly ?

booting…

but on the phone it says usb transferring usb transmission ok time201ms vel 30597kb/s

what does this mean ? does it mean that info about it having no lock is false and that it indeed is locked is that why i cant get recovery on the phone?

Then what is the deal with the dots ? i wonder i have found other people on the internet with simaller sittuation but diffrent model phones but no solution that i could find? does this mean it is not a phone thing but computer problem?

Ithink it is unlikelly a pc problem cause before i did this phone i did it succesfully with another phone.

I also tried using a one click unlock bootloader program that doesnt work either it just stops?

This is driving me crazy please help

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Be sure that USB debugging and OEM unlock are enabled.

In fastboot you can know if your bootloader needs/can be unlockable to further actions using:

fastboot oem device-info

or sometimes also works

fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability

You have to delete all the spaces in the names of the files that you are trying to flash/boot to, fastboot commands don´t allow spaces within other characters.

If all the previous requirements are done then you could try by flashing the recovery image and then booting to it manually through hardware buttons.

Also you could use SPFlash tool (if it is a MediaTek device) and if inside the firmware it contains the scatter.txt file as I saw you are trying to flash a recovery it with this tool.
[General Questions and Answers] mstrnemo:

There is no function this is and old device so i cant do this - OEM unlock are enabled.

[General Questions and Answers] sardonicus87:
I tried doing a search and couldn't find a relevant thread, but I have a few questions...

OK first, the issue that brings me here is the only web browser that I like (Boat) has long been dead and out of development, it's long not been on the play store but I've had the APK for a long time and just transfered it to every new phone I got so I could keep using it. I have tried finding a different browser, but I hate them all, none of them have any of the features I want. My last phone was running Android 9.0 and Boat was still working on it. Well, I got a new phone now (Pixel 4a 5g) that has Android 11 and boat still mostly works... except it crashes if I click the bar at the top to type in a URL... but otherwise still works flawlessly.

So, I'm wondering first is it even OK for someone to look to hire a developer to basically update a dead app? Any website and contact information for the original developer no longer exists, but I don't know if it's OK for someone to take over a dead app like that, if it would be considered stealing or something.

Second, well if it's OK... I have the last APKs of the browser and I had used a guide to deconstruct the APK into a project thinking maybe I can figure it out and how to update it so that it still works but... yeah that's not happening. So I have the APK files and the already deconstructed into a project and was wondering where I can ask about hiring a developer just to basically update the app so that it still works (not really make any changes to the look/feel/etc, just fix any bugs or code that's old and deprecated and doesn't work anymore)? And when I say hire, I mean like actually hire, with real money.

No OS Installed ! Are You sure you wish to reboot?

I'm a newbie. I have made it trough all the instructions. I have the twrp image installed and the MAGISK zip instaled. When I go to reboot I get this warning message., No OS Installed ! Are You sure you wish to reboot? I may have made a mistake by going into advanced wipe settings and wiped everything except my sd card. The stupid reasion I did this was because after several attemts to try to load these programs I kept getting google reinstall apps on my phone, so I'm not even sure if I did it right to begin with.

Please help. I'm keeping my phone pluged into the computer.

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, you put this previously " C:\Users\n\Downloads\fastboot>fastboot boot “C:\Users\n\Desktop\Acer E380 - Recovery - Carliv Touch Recovery 3.0 KK.img” "

So I saw that you are trying to boot to Carliv Touch Recovery, the file (image) that you are trying to boot to must have a name without spaces, I meant eg. Carliv_Touch.img otherwise fastboot command won´t work

Well, what you are trying to do is booting to these partitions through fastboot commands, SPFlash tool it´s a tool with a GUI interface while fastboot is something like a command line, they´re totally different.

As your device is currently running 4.4.2 either there´s no locked bootloader or is irrelevant at this point so bootloader was so permissive.

Actually other than unlock bootloader what you are trying to achieve?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Without relevant information is very hard to say you what is wrong here.

Device model? Version? What you are trying to do and/or what you did previously? Did you try to flash a custom ROM?

Like you´re saying it yourself : "I may have made a mistake by going into advanced wipe settings and wiped everything except my sd card."...then no OS installed, you would have wiped your system...it´s not clear if you factory reset it through system or really wiped through some custom recovery.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I guess you need to read a lot from the basics in order to comprehend how this thing works, there´s not fastboot commands in the 4 lines above. Also you are changing randomly the name of the recovery, you simply have to input the name that actually your recovery image has eg. if your recovery name changed to carliv_touch.img then you have to type the exact same name.

Some sites just copy-paste generic guides on how to unlock bootloader and indiscriminately they apply it to almost any device, don´t trust in non-reliable sites.

Here you have the XDA forum for your device with all the guides and info https://xdaforums.com/t/official-acer-liquid-e3-e380-ale3.2711667/

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I think you are not paying attention enough to get this working.

Firstly I would recommend to avoid the path, put the image file in the same adb folder where you do think to run fastboot commands and second rename the file as shorter as you can avoiding the spaces in the name, for example you could call to this recovery something like cwm.img, it would be easier.

And you should have to read the part from the Forum thread that I linked where it´s explained how to flash a custom recovery onto this device so some devices don´t support flashing some partitions through fastboot at least you can firstly root it and then using other via to achieve it.

Also you should download the stock recovery for your device in case something goes wrong and you should use SP Flash tool to flash it, using this method you maybe would get more success.
[General Questions and Answers] mstrnemo:
if i do that i dont get cmd but the one with the blue screen and i can never get anything to work with that one so i avoid it and just use cmd.

I had ofcourse already read the thread of this device and know about the flashing recovery using spflashtool (had not tried it yet) i just stubernlly wanted to use adb fastboot this time (first time i flashed a custom rom was on a sony m2 wich i used flashtool to do it and now my second time flash a rom) so now wanted to do it using abdfastboot to get some experience it.

However this was a good experience now i know some older (budget)phones (2014 android 4.4.2) dont have a bootloader so understand the meaning of those 3 dots in cmd.

Flashing recovery using adb/fastboot doesnt work for some (old)phones.

When putting recovery img file into cmd it should not have spaces in its name.Very informative!

Now i know i can't use fastboot/adb to do it i am gonna try the other method.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You should need to boot to that custom recovery through fastboot and then install it from there, if your device doesn´t have a recovery partition then this custom recovery has to be prepared to flash it and replace just the ramdisk to fix it permanently.

Always is good to add to the post the device model and some link from where you did get the mentioned file.
