okay :

1. the service provider enable VOLTE or/and VOWIFI on it's LTE/5G network by adding a IMS (multimedia server) ; IMS will manage including SIP (voip) to handle your phone number between it's netwok and your phone ; for this, the service provider parameter it's own volte/vowifi information, depending how is managed the IMS. Then, he enables and allow volte/vowifi for some/all subscribers. Service provider transmits volte/vowifi information to phone/devices manufacturers

2. the manufacturers are supposed to add those ISP (and others ISP too) volte/vowifi information within a file, called volte/vowifi profile. Technically, how does it works? manufacturer just asks to qualcomm to add those information to volte/vowifi profile by adding them to binary files (called blobs) to android's ESP partition.

3. the manufacturer sends network update to the devices by simple software updates; And then, when the phone powers on, androi/ios see it can connect to LTE, that the phone line is volte/vowifi allowed, and checks about those volte/vowifi information into the phone, that the manufacturer added into the software. Then they discuss together (the phone by software, with the IMS on provider's network) about connecting phone into a SIP client, whom might be connected to associate your phone number to the phone. Thus it's works!(1)

1: normally, it's works fine with almost all providers/devices, when the volte/vowifi service was enabled BEFORE the device was built/solt.

please notice that almost all phone are 3/4yrs maximum updated, so a 2022 new volte service will not work on a 2018 updated phone, manufacturers prefers you to change your phone ;)

please also notice that ALL free/opensource alternative software (lineageos, sailfish, postmarketos) could handle volte/vowifi ONLY by handling those vowifi/volte profiles from mcfg.bin something file, whom are kind of blobs containing volte/vowifi, stored in..... .the ESP partition/space on the phone : lineageos, and others OS, uses the SAME source of information : if volte/vowifi works well on a device, it doesnt depends on the system files, but on the esp/cellular blobs binary files, and will ever work or never work.

that is, my comprehension of how it's working.

SPFT is to be used while in download mode, not through fastboot mode, if your device could boot to fastboot mode, it couldn`t be bricked, and you´re saying it´s bricked.

Hey All,

Noob here. I've recently rooted my Samsung S21 5G and flashed new firmware through Odin using a modified Magisk AP file.

My questions are:

1. The new software looks dated and sluggish. Even new Play store apps appear outdated. Is this the normal for a rooted phone?

2. I expected that my Samsung Pay would be unusable, but is there any way of making this or a similar app like Google work safely?

3. 2 Other related issued. The Government app that I use to manage my local public transport travel card says it doesn't suppirt rooted phones, and my work mails don't seem to want to load on Outlook app (I get an Error 1001). Any way I can fix these issues?

I have a bit of regret but hoping someone would shed some light on this for me so I can understand some root phone benefits.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Since years, Xiaomi doesn`t deliver a code. You have to firstly, sign in your Mi account through the settings, but, also you have to bind that account to that device (rare no?), to do this, enable developer options, and there you´ll find the option to do so, you have to log in, switching off WiFi, and enabling only mobile data, once you get the success message, you can continue with the process through a PC.

Got a pretty weak device, that is compatible with arm64 and arm. It's preference is for arm64 apps. Previously I had some arm64 apps and they ran slow. I have switched to their arm counterparts and the performance of said apps improved. Got a couple of questions :

1. Does anyone knows how can I check if a installed app is made for architecture arm64 or arm? Is there a android app that can show this information? Google had pinpointed some xda threads, but everything has been deleted.

2. Is there a way to change device preference for a type of app architecture? Currently is arm64, would like arm to be the default preffered app architecture.

The device in question has 3 gb of ram, running android 8.

[General Questions and Answers] HGStyleOfficial:
Hello, I have a simple question.

How do I sign an APK using Google's `apksigner` with testkey, without using Android Studio (in command line only) ?

I'm using apksigner from Android Build Tools that I downloaded at: https://androidsdkmanager.azurewebsites.net/Buildtools (I use latest version, also links redirects to dl.google.com so I think it should be safe)

Also I found "testkey" signature file at:

target/product/security/testkey.pk8 - platform/build - Git at Google

target/product/security/testkey.x509.pem - platform/build - Git at Google

I dont know if its the right ones or the wrong ones.

And here is the command I used:

`./apksigner sign --ks testkey.pk8 --ks-key-alias testkey --ks-pass pass:android --in myapp.apk --out myapp.apk` but it returns:

Failed to load signer "signer #1"

What's wrong ? Are the testkey signature files wrong or it's just the command ? Also, IDK if its usefull but I use OpenJDK build from AdoptOpenJDK (now Adoptium Termurin but package in my packager is still called adoptopenjdk-jre-bin or something like that) on NixOS.

[General Questions and Answers] Toasty1Too:
I'm trying to find a way to stop applications on my phone from being able to access my fingerprint for their own authentication purposes.

My reasons are 1)that my fingerprints are vulnerable to being stolen(i.e. someone could cut off my finger), used in the middle of the night against my will(if an attacker can manage to avoid waking me), or subpoenaed by a state actor(i.e. now I'm compelled to unlock the application via fingerprint, meaning the data within is no longer protected by the 5th amendment by a password which I otherwise cannot be compelled to divulge). (Obviously, if things get this extreme, it's likely I'll just be tortured for the password, but I'd prefer to act as if law enforcement, et al wouldn't do this because it's illegal).

I have some applications on my phone that have "all or nothing" security baked into them. When disabled, the application is just completely unlocked. When enabled, the application allows me to set a password for itself only, but always includes "biometric" authentication. In at least one case, the application developer insists they will not provide a method for users to disable this, and that I must do it via my OS. My only alternative is to disable security for this application entirely.

Does Android provide this functionality somewhere?

All my searches on the subject only result in endless articles on how to use my fingerprint to lock an application at the OS level, which is the opposite of what I want.

On a related note, because I searched and couldn't find one either, is there a listing anywhere of all the settings available in the various versions of stock Android, along with an explanation of what each setting does?
[General Questions and Answers] 0x6865780d0a:
Try this to stop apps using fingertip authentication

1. Enter settings

2. Search "apps" or something similar (the list of devices)

3. Press on app and select "Force stop". You should confirm this action

4. Now enter the security settings and disable finger authentication

5.Reboot your device

6. Enjoy yourself

Can somebody please tell me what company TCL is exactly or like what variant is it's equal in mobile devices? I want to say maybe alcatel is the same but I cant find an answer anywhere really cuz I guess im not asking the question the right way. Thanks for the help peeps. I ask because i'm planning to build TWRP for my phone but I want to be able to find something similiar i can just port to instead of building one from scratch.

EDIT: Got lookin in the prop.default and I seen Alcatel in there so there is my answer lol.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
TCL used to be RCA.

Instead of focusing on brand names, instead, find out exactly which CPU/hardware architecture your device has and then find other devices that have the same CPU/hardware architecture, if one of them has a TWRP, you can port that TWRP to your device.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I guess device is, "initially" ARM-built, but some development got further, to support ARM64 based-apps, this is why those are slow.

Apps that can run on both are developed for both, are the same (and unique) for both, it happens that, they detect the architecture, to can run on, similarly as it happens with some applications for Windows, they (can) run in a compatibility mode for x86.

You can´t switch to ARM from ARM64, or viceversa, it is ruled by the ROM, if it was built for ARM64, then the apps will run in ARM64 mode.

It seems my Huawei device, running emui 8, might have the super power saving mode, also known as maximum/ultra power saving mode disabled. I tried getting access to the menu of said function using Activity Launcher and I got this

"About ultra power saving mode

When I tried to access it I got this error :

"Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent (fig=0x14000000 cmp=com.huawei.systemmanager/.power. ui.SuperPowerSaving ModeAboutActivity } from ProcessRecord{5e181

I have a Fairphone 4 with /e/OS that I accidentally left a long download running overnight until the storage filled up. The phone also ran out of battery during this, and now it won't boot. The behaviour is always the same: It makes it all the way through the boot screen and to the initial unlock prompt, but when I enter my pin, the launcher fails to load and it shuts down by itself. It reboots into recovery, but the default /e/ recovery is really limited and only has the option to wipe the device and no file manager.

I really don't want to wipe as I have a lot of data on the phone so I flashed TWRP onto it to try to access the filesystem and delete the offending file. However, TWRP cannot seem to mount the /data partition, neither from the mount screen nor the terminal. Both cases it gives the following output

mount: '/dev/block/sda11'->'data': Invalid argument

The phone is encrypted. Is there any hope of getting the phone to boot properly again at this point? Or is my only option to wipe? Also, because it can't mount the data partition, it's not giving me an option to back up the storage, is there still a way to do that and decrypt the output? The data is really what I care about.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
EDL mode is not for MediaTek devices, you are supposedly to enter device in BROM or preloader mode, depending on the mode, you have to use a specific tool. I´m pretty sure you didn´t read the thread I linked, otherwise you didn´t answer this way, if you take the effort to read it, you can recover the device, if after reading thoroughly, there´s something, you can´t still understand, come back again.

Good, this is how it works, the job starts when your device is bricked. Follow the guide, in case you read it, then read it again, you just have to change, how the device is detected, probably your device entered in some of those modes, but you need to "change" how your PC is detecting it, read about "libUSB-devel filter"

mm, read the README.md file and try with --preloader option, if you´re sure the dependencies are well installed, Python and it´s path, too, then check if printgpt works.

Other things to take in account are, that some devices need to be in preloader or in BROM mode, and that preloader is not absent/damaged, or even worst, is needed a "writable" preloader, if this last is the case, some build/firmware allow, while other don´t.

And, that the Windows version is not interfering in some way, figure out how...

And after i uninstalled that the 3rd party camera stopped working and it gave an error everytime but the normal camera app kept working fine. (I don't really remember what i did and what the error was as of now, but i even tried adb debugging and i THINK i saw a camera_access_denied error everytime i tried opening the camera on a 3rd party app.) I tried everything including using apps that were supposed to modify that setting or sth but nothing worked. What can i do now, except for formatting? I don't have the time and i don't want to format my phone.

Hi! i have recently bought an LG S01 and accidentally bricked it after rooting with kingoroot.

I searched a bit and came to the conclusion that i will need to reflash it with a stock rom.

the LG S01 is the Japanese model of the LG H410. Only difference being that the japanese model has japanese letters on the keypad.

I tried to search for the LG S01 KDZ file to flash but i figure since its a japanese model released by a japanese carrier i am not be able to find the exact kdz file for that version.

Now, the H410 kdz is available and i was able to download it. However, due to the difference in model number, LG Flash Tool wouldnt accept it.

Is it possible for me to Cross Flash an H410 rom to my LGS01? If i want to do so, how would I go about it? How safe is it considering theyre the same phone with a different keyboard? Any alternatives rather than cross flashing? (I have already tried to factory reset but it would just get stuck on the boot screen)
