[General Questions and Answers] ccaye:
thank you for such detailed information.

I was using xiaomiADBfastboot tool to delete some mi service apk, so I was using the phone without mi account since two years ago.

And yes, my usb debugging is enabled. But my screen is locked, thus adb device was listed as unauthed.

So for the Mi flash tool, I can not upgrade any rom under fastboot mode right? even it's stock firmware.

and for the 720G soc, the firehose/loader is still not patched yet. I think i have tried other tools like xiaomiTool V2, but once I connect the device, it restarted straight away. I am still looking for a method to upgrade the stock firmware to MIUI 12

And tbh, I still dont understand why the lock screen is not reading my correct pattern. I have tried the pattern and similar ones so many times. Even all the old pattern I have used before. And the phone does read my fingerprint, but it needs to enter the pattern after restarting the phone. Unfortunately i have restarted so many times. So when I put my fingerprint, it shows correct and shows the pattern lock screen. All the work (unlock bootloader, edl mode, upgrading to stock firmware) is for unlock the phone.

And I do want to ask aobut, if I can pull the files out in edl mode, it will be saved as userdata.bin

and after I upgrade to the new firmware, and reset the phone so i can unlock the bootloader,

Can I restore userdata.bin file back into the phone in order to get my data back?

I was thinking about pull the files out in edl mode first, save them as backup.

then reset the phone, link mi account, unlock the bootloader.

And then went back to edl mode again, restore the file i have pulled before,

but now since the bootloader is unlocked, I can install third party recovery in order to delete the gatekeeper file.

And i do hope upgrading the firmware will solve that lock screen glitch. so i can skip all these steps.

Once again, thank you so much for the answers. have a good day!

I wonder how you could command to your device and now is unauthorized. Check if XiaomiADB have the feature to return the app, but I guess the tool is deprecated.

Not in locked state.

Search from a device that has the same SoC.

It doesn´t work on an unauthorized device, is intended to work through the stock recovery, so it can´t use ADB commands.

Maybe your display is bad.

You´d need an authorized account and a proper tool to do that, if you can pull it out, you could restore it, in order to have such files, not an stable restoration for daily use though.

you can try Mi-Assistant in order to backup data, and upgrade, remember that an upgrade through a stock recovery only is done, from a version to the next.

OK, here goes. Bear with me because my knowledge on phones and their operating systems, and all things related, is very elementary.

My issue is I have a Samsung S10e (SM-G970U1) that is not compatible with Wi-Fi calling. I called my carrier (US Cellular) and they said that they support this service but my phone is not compatible for it. I bought the phone unlocked on eBay. Is there a way to get my phone where I can get Wi-Fi calling enabled? If not, is there an unlocked phone I can purchase, other than an iPhone, that will be compatible with my carrier.

Thanks in advance

Hi.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite.

On all my older tablets, I have been able to use an app called Lesser Audio Switch that allows me to use any USB audio device weather it is an input or output. I can't find an app that works for this tablet. It runs Android 13. I'm wanting to use my USB DAC from the type c port. Surely there are some apps for this?

Thanks.

Hello, the question is not at all on a telephone topic, but I decided not to create a new topic so that they would not be banned on the very first day)) In general, this is the essence of the question: is there any possibility of renaming the bluetooth headphones, so that they are then displayed with this name when connected to other devices. for example, I have Anker life p2 mini bluetooth headphones, I can rename them on my device, for example, to “my headphones”, but when connected to another device, the name will be “anker life p2 mini”, that is, they are only renamed locally on my device. is it possible to set a permanent name that I want to assign to them? for example, airpods have such a function - if I renamed them on my iPhone to “my pods”, then when connected to a laptop or other device, this name will be exactly - “my pods”. so is there a possibility of the same renaming for anker / realme / jbl etc. like looking everywhere, but did not find it.

I apologize but I was not able to find a section for Google assistant. I have already asked in the section of my device but I have not received an answer. My problem is as follows.

I have a Xiaomi MiA3 with AndroidOne 11 stock. System and apps always updated.

For some time now and for no apparent reason Ambient mode hasn't worked anymore and I can't re-enable it by following the most common guides found on the net. I suspect some components are missing, can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It´s a known issue from GA, anyway, you could report it to them, even when Android One has/had a terrible performance with this device (laurel_sprout), no more updates, so the issue won´t be fixed by Xiaomi.
[General Questions and Answers] franz.b:
Thanks a lot for the reply. But the problem suddenly appeared, less than a month ago, not following a google assistant or system update, which date back to last year at least.

So there is no procedure? not even a factory reset?

Thanks again
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Factory reset could give a "little longer" "time life" to the app, but as it is not fixed, then the issue will return. I owned this device, and few days after of purchased, decided to flash a custom ROM onto it, Android One went terrible, in all Xiaomi devices I had, MiA2, MiA2L, MiA3.

PD: I referred to updates, not as your issues followed for updates but as you said "System and apps always updated.", and not, updates and support for this device is over.

Hi, USB-C port deactivate?

My wall-mounted Galaxy Tab A8 auto-charges via a thin Qi adapter connected to its USB-C port. Due to noise and heat, I'd like to disable the USB-C power output when required. Developer settings didn't help. Any suggestions how by any possible setting the Qi adapter wouldn't recieve any power from the tablet anymore and therefore would turn off?

[General Questions and Answers] Judgenaut:
Hey all, so I was manually uploading everything to a cloud, (I would have preferred a boot image anyday but I thought the days of TitaniumBackup and anything similar was banished by the "G"oogie Man many moons ago especially Samsung Flagships, and an AT&T variant Samsung Flagship being the figurative lowest on the customizable/rootable totem.) when I get a notice that a software update, which would be installing android 11, is ready. (For future reference I wish I knew how to stop the download somehow besides never using wifi),anyway, I tap "remind me later" and am now rushing to upload as much of the 400gb out of 500gb from the first model of Samsung Galaxy Fold as possible before I stop getting the option to postpone the installation.

So, all told, despite having more space leftover then my last phone had in total, and having a battery at 95%, the installation still failed, I'm stuck at a recovery screen with only the option to

1.)Try Again- which boots the at&t logo over and over until the same sparse type "recoverymode" screen comes up again.

2.) Delete app data, which frankly I am not sure what apps or app data it will clear, and it isn't really an option unless it only touches the supposed "corrupt configuration app data" that I can't prove it only deals with the failed software update alone.

3.) Power Down- which does exactly the same thing as try again. Said differently, no button combo would turn the device off or lead to a different mode or screen until the battery itself was dead.

4.) Is to look at some log that both the full version and the summary don't exist or won't load.

So, my question is, firstly, is there a way to just try to reinstall the update that failed, or go back to 10 without destroying all my remaining files? If not, then even with hoops to jump through, is there a way to create a complete backup?

If that's also not realistic, then next and last, which if any of the data recovery apps can save as much as possible if not all the data?

This is really just unacceptable considering I wasn't even attempting to "tamper with/tweak" anything under the hood. AFAIK the fault is entirely on at&t. And even if I could have known, I still don't know how I could have stopped it from happening.

Thanks for taking the time to read this regardless of whether or not there is a solution.

P.s. There are 3 pictures of this mode just in case its relevant.

Hey all, im just a noobie. So what my problem is..

I tried installing a custom boot animation with magisk module method but it doesnt work and just shows the stock boot animation instead

I Have SM Galaxy J7-2016 with one ui 2.1(rooted)

The file attached below is the magisk module which I have tried to change the stock boot animation with...

from here: https://github.com/IRedDragonICY/Asus-ROG-Phone-5-Bootanimation/blob/main/README.md

Please help me :)
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
B9oo9t animation changes with Magisk are questionable at best, The boio9t animation happens VERY early in the boot process.

However you have a relatively old phone, and therefore would have a read-write system partition. In you case, you would be better off to actually find the location (probably /system/media but that may also be a reason the magisk module fails) of your boot animation zip file (and MP34 which wont work on all ROMs anyway) and physically replace the files; first making a backup of the original for good measure as the format has changed over time.

Been a long time since I've been around here, as I haven't felt a need to do much rooting.

Anyhow, my issue is: My dad has a Sonim XP8 on AT&T (it's the AT&T version of the phone). Phone is beginning to fail. I filed with insurance; they had no replacements, and paid out a check. I bought two open box ones on Amazon from a decently rated seller, checked for blacklist, they both cleared, and I set them aside.

Then I got busy, then dad got sick, got cancer, and is now on a feeding tube. His phone is worse, so I pull out the phone and try to transfer via google backup. Doesn't work. His older, failing phone (which is to say it works except the speaker and stuff is going out on it) has been updated to Android 10:

Android Version 10

Baseband version: MPSS.AT.3.1.c16-00020-SDM660-ATT-211118-2219

Kernel version: 4.4.205-perf+ #1 Thu Nov 18 22:35:17 IST 2021

Build Number: 8A.0.9-18-10.0.0-10.34.02

The new phone, which is also an AT&T Sonim XP8. is on Android 7.1.1

I've been trying to get OTA updates for this damn phone to match his old phone on the newer Android 10, however that hasn't been working. I took his old sim card, put it in the new phone, took it to the store and had them associate the new phone with the sim card. It says there's no more updates. Yet obviously there is.

'So, if OTA isn't working (unless any of y'all have a solution for that), it sounds like I need to find a stock rom, and then flash that rom onto the new phone, and then transfer google backup to that new phone.

As such: Does anyone have the latest Android 10 AT&T rom for Sonim XP8? And a guide for how to flash that over to the new phone?

That would be most appreciated, thanks.

@DiamondJohn & @Zelly 77 ; one small "trick" i learned on xda with swapping a .zip file (good for poor memory people such as myself or noobs , lol. l cant always remember where a .zip came from.) is to add a ".bak" after the name of the zip. it disables it but it retains its spot.

I eventually found a solution: Park outside the AT&T store and download OTA updates. I found this mentioned in another thread and I don't recall which one. I'm a post-paid AT&T customer, yet for some reason I couldn't get OTA updates except near the AT&T store. This took hours. I wrote a detailed post.

Why can't I get OTA updates everywhere else? It is a mystery! AT&T can die in a fire though.

Help! I read and re-read everything I could and I am still lost.

I have AT&T Galaxy Fold SM-F900U.

I was backing up everything when AT&T decided I needed to upgrade from 10 to 11.

There was plenty of space and battery but the phone is now in a bootloop. SO

My question(s) is: Can I somehow save/backup my data before resetting?

This is absolutely the first priority assuming I can't fix the issue without a complete reset.

However, it would be preferable if there is a way to find/get the same update file for my phone that can be loaded in recovery mode, thus completing the upgrade and returning the phone to a usable state. But all I can find is firmware and I don't know what the update that installs Android 11 on a SM-F900U would be called.

PLEASE help. If I am screwed, say that.

Again, I read the noob guides, and anything I thought looked similar and I am still stuck. My last resort is paying some data recovery service hundreds of dollars I don't have to get who knows how much of my data.

TIA
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
So I have a Galaxy Note 9, SM-N960U. Unfortunately it cannot be bootloader unlocked that's almost a certainty. At the moment it does not have root access. I am however hopeful that root can be achieved.

Currently there is an exploit that affects pretty much every Samsung phone on the planet. I am not very familiar with the exact details, but in a t shell, Samsung lets voice services recieve just about anything. using the samsung TTS app, the exploit allows for a SYSTEM (user: 1000) level shell to be granted on the device. Various commands then become available to the user, for example the ability to change system props, and run any system level commands and or code. Using this exploit I have been able to escalate my privileges on my Note 9 to system level (user: 1000). I have only just begun to experiment with these commands and some maybe promising others not so much. There are only a few system props thus far I have come across which persist upon a reboot even with system level access. One of those properties that persist a reboot is persist.security.ams.enforcing. Normally that property would be a value of 1 but can successfully be changed to 0 and persist upon a reboot. Here is a link to the exploit.

Basically what I'm asking is does anyone have experience achieving root access after having escalated privileges to system user? I have only experienced one such incident where you access was eventually achieved after having achieved system level access. This was done on an Amazon fire 10 quite a few years ago on an older model than they have today. The process was sort of similar in the sense Amazon left a debug application on the device which we were then able to use against the system in order to achieve both system and root level access. I do not know the exact details of the exploit I was not part of writing it. So if anyone might have any ideas on how I might be able to achieve root access using this method or having the level of access I do any help would certainly be most appreciated. From what I have been told by a few people who are somewhat familiar with situations like this ultimately if this kind of access has been granted on a system level then there is likely another point of entry which would lead to root access. You would have to read over the exploit or at least the GitHub page to assess whether or not the application in question which grants us level of permissions is in fact a debug application or not. I'm at work right now so I cannot read over those details at the moment.
