Hi @SubwayChamp ,

I renamed the files to what they should be, then tried using Magisk. I pointed to the right file and it made the changes but then it saved the file back to my microsd card. I restarted but obviously the file is on the microsd card and it didn't work... (Magisk isn't showing as rooted either).

The videos i've seen all point to putting the phone into fastboot mode as part of the Magisk guide, then uploading this file to the phone. Unfortunately, I cannot get the phone into fastboot (it reboots normally from adb). I've also found instructions that say to hold the down button and plug it into computer but this simply takes it to a screen where it counts to 100%, then the backlight goes off and the screen turns off....

(The pc that can communite with the phone does not list it in either adb or fastboot).

Any ideas on how to get the modified file onto the phone?

That what happens to people who neither read nor think.

I somehow was convinced that "the same way" applied only to new firmware versions/security levels.

With hindsight, of course, it's quite reasonable that some problems might arise when using Magisk 26.4 with firmware that has "26300" in its very name.

Tbanks for trying to "patch my ignorance".

As I mentioned in my previous comment I tried with Rescue and Smart Assistant (LMSA) ----------> I did the step where I must press and hold the volume up button and connect the cable to the tablet then the program says to release the button the tablet vibrates and start blinking red light and then I hear connecting sound from the computer and after about 83% of downloading came disconnecting sound and it shows fail on the program... <--------- Here Im talking about LMSA program.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you can put the boot image onto your SDcard, then, you also, can, easily, transfer it to your internal storage, using any file explorer app, no ADB needed for that. Anyway, placing the boot patched, either, in your internal or external storage, won´t make a difference per se, you need to flash it, to the boot partition. If your issue, at this point, is transferring, the boot patched to your PC, then you don´t need ADB, again, it´s enough with having the drivers well installed, your device have to be recognized, as an MTP device.

I don´t know the exact method to boot to recovery mode, in Lenovo devices, but, you can do it, the same way, you did it the first time, when you flash it, either, for fastboot or recovery, maybe, is not needed to connect it to the PC, but, pressing, either the volume down or the volume up, combined with the power button.

Drivers for Lenovo contains all the set you need, to use recovery or to use fastboot, you just need to update them, while you connect (and send) correctly the device to that mode.

Hi!

I have Motorola One Action, rooted with magisk, using Play integrity fix 13.0.

When i upgraded to PIF 13.0 I deleted cache and data from Google Play store, Google services frameworks and Google Play services.

I also reset all application preferences (don't ask me why).

After doing all that and passing both device and basic integrity, my phone stopped receiving push notification i.e. google promp or banking app push notifications for authentication a purchase.

Can someone point me in right direction?

Did i remove some important premission when I reset all app preferences?

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
All you need as a rooted user is:

#make sure you're running as root

Settings put system master_mono 1

This shell command should change the mono audio in accessibility to "on" or "1". There are many ways to make that command a widget including but not limited to: using termux+termux:widget extension, using tasker or Automate apps. Other solutions exist but may not work with your device.

Hey All, I'm working on installing e/OS on a Sonim XP8. This phone is really obscure so I'm using a Generic System image.

I'm having a lot of trouble though. According to e/OS i need to disable dm-verity, which requires a userdebug image (according to ADB). so I'm trying to root the device so I can successfully install e/OS.

There is a wonderful (long) thread on here about rooting the Sonim XP8 found here:

Sonim XP8 (Root?)

Finally got tired of the Pixel 2 XL after the third one. Now I have this super rugged handset that I can actually hold on to! Great loud audio too! The Sonim XP8 comes with a seemingly near stock Android 7.1.1 ROM. OEM unlocking is...

My post is the most recent one.

If anyone is willing to help me solve the problems I'm encountering that would be awesome.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I´m not familiar at all with that device, but generally speaking, to disable DM-verity, you don´t need a userdebug image (boot), just search, because I don´t remember now, there are some ADB and also, some fastboot commands, to disable this feature, also, search for a blank vbmeta image, is intended to do that.
[General Questions and Answers] Supermud.:
I am aware of that. The problem is fastboot doesn't work for this device at all until it is rooted. So it has to be rooted first.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
By (only) rooting a device, can´t give it, the ability to enter to fastboot, the fastboot functionality, is included (or not) by default, also, some carriers can disable it, unless your device is factory locked, I don´t think, you can´t access to fastboot.
[General Questions and Answers] Supermud.:
I don't know all the nuance, but I do know the only way to achieve what I want is to get the device rooted. You can read more about it on the thread I linked. One way or another dm-verity needs to be disabled and I can't use fastboot currently so I either need to get fastboot (which seems possible per the thread I linked) or I need to use another method to disable verity.

Hi,

I've got a Vodafone Prime 7 Tab and I want to put a small, fast and not overblown system on it. Mainly for surfing/reading maybe some youtube.

Searching in the internet I got tons of websites, doing alot of marketing/advertising and therefore I'm uncertain which is the best resource for getting into reinstalling android w/o all that vodafone stuff.

I'm new to flashing android on devices (but I have alot of computer/router/flashing/... experience) so I would like to ask where to start. Can somebody show/tell me the right direction for getting started fast to get a fresh system on that tablet?

Thanks a lot, Alex

I bought a verizon locked Samsung S23FE for under $300 on ebay to use as a wifi only gaming device. Wanted something cheap that will get updates for as long as possible. I've never owned an android device before so before I open it I'm just wondering if I will have any trouble using this device as essentially a mini tablet. I'm wondering things such as:

Will I have any issues setting the device up without activating it or will the phone keep asking me to activate? How bad is the Verizon bloatware and is it hard to get rid of without coming back? Has anyone flashed a verizon S23FE to unlocked firmware yet? Are there any issues with doing software updates on an unactivated device?

Any help is appreciated :)

Hello Alex and welcome to the forums. For your device, which ships with android 6.0.1, there is sadly no custom Roms available. Good news however! , you can unlock your Bootloader and Root it easily. Instructions for this can be found here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-boot-root-vfd-1400-vodafone-prime-tab-7.3548560/

Read carefully every step and keep the Stock ROM ready in case of mishaps. Through root, you can at least de-bloat your stock ROM and remove all the unnecessary Vodafone application/pre-installed bloatware. You can also install xposed and modify how it looks or behaves. Happy modifying :)

[HELP NEEDED ] Adding apk to prebuilt AOSP via windows​

Can someone help add a prebuilt apk to an android system.img for me? I’ve obtained boot.img, system.img, etc. from manufacture of the device. I’ve been trying for hours to add the .apk files to the system.img. (I’ll share it here)

My steps:​

1)What I did was extract the image, add my apk to /app, or /priv-apps, or vendor/operator/app.

2) convert the folders/files of the extracted image to iso.

3) convert back to .img file using winiso software

4) added the system.img converted in step 3 back into main folder where all the original images are.

5) flashed everything back to device.

Problem:​

The device boots up to the brand logo. However it just gets stuck at the brand logo. VERY IMPORTANT => if it is a successful flash, then the brand logo turns into brand logo animation, but everytime I flash with my APK, it just gets stuck at the boot logo. Thus there are wo stages:

Boot logo = if stuck, then flash/apk adding failed

Boot Animation = everything works (I know this because the stock flash works just fine)

attached is the firmware i system images.

= extra info=​

Android: 4.4.2

Flash tool: SP Flasher

Hello! I have a device on AOSP 13 with Magisk installed.

It has a profile created with Work Profile on it, as well as another one.

Using root, their folders are visible in /data/media/ as follows:

/data/media/0 (storage)

/data/media/10 (work profile)

/data/media/11 (another one)

Using file manager with root access, I can get inside the above folders, but I can't open the files (specifically videos and .gif images) that lie along these paths further inside.

The only things that open are .jpg images.

Opening, say, .mp4 (even in «0» profile) results in an error, most often sounding like this:

Error: androidx.media3.datasource.ContentDataSource$ContentDataSourceException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

Explorer absolutely does have root access.

What can be done? Is there any way to view other profile files on the device from root access explorer?

Thanks!

First and Foremost Question, I have been gone a while, but is there a section covering single board computers, more Specifically the Asus Tinkerboard? Yes I know there is a Specific forum not on XDA for this device, however I have not gotten any responses that answer my questions on how to set up Google Services, Android packages and framework on my SBC there. I have an Asus Tinkerboard S R2.0 4GB btw and I am using a modded version of Android 12 uploaded to the Tinkerboard forums. I think side loading may be the only way but I can't seem to get it to work when trying to sideload like for a Fire Tablet. Note I am not a Android Dev and do not know a whole bunch about Software Development in general.

You mentioned nothing about USB cable. Anyway, how do you pretend to transmit data from a tool to your device, at least, at that level, without a USB cable?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It seems the size of your image/s exceed the size of the partition, and/or, the repacking process was not well done.

Other people in there were able to get it to work with a file with the same hash, so I don't think that's it.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If I didn´t read bad, I see you have to "edit" the images, they aren´t "ready to use", so are you sure, the users you´re mentioning, proceeded the exact same way as you?, with brotli, Python, scripts, commands, and so?, remember that some images that are inside the super partition, can be flashed only through fastbootd, not through fastboot. Also, you´re not mentioning the image are giving you errors.

Hi everyone, before I get into detail about my request I'd like to state that I have already searched the forum for my device and also requested it in the device request forum, unfortunately I have found very little info which is why I'm asking for assistance from you kind people here :)

I purchased a Redmi Pad SE while in China, it has the China MIUI/ROM pre-installed. I would love to be able to flash it with the global MIUI ROM so i can use Google services.

I found various websites that have the (hopefully legitimate/safe) Global ROM/MIUI available for download (V14.0.3.0.TMUMIXM) however I cannot seem to find a guide on how to actually root/flash the ROM.

As far as I'm aware I'll need to:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Download some drivers, software, and tools on my PC (ADB ? MIUI tool?)

3. Install the global ROM/MIUI using fastboot.

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction/guide to follow on how to do this ? If the methods for flashing various Xiaomi devices are similar, could I maybe follow a guide from another device ? (maybe a xiaomi pad 5/6? )

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] etlaoco tech:
i don't use redmi so it can be wrong or correct

you need to use mi flasher and flash the MIUI
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
its pretty easy if you can unlock the bootloader (reason I say "if" is because xiaomi has been making unlocking almost impossible with the release of their HyperOS, especially if you have a Chinese variant, look at this

Article

about it) If you can unlock your device NOW and/or plan to do it in the future, do it

NOW.

Anyways, a trust-able source for your ROM can be found here. Download the file name:

xun_global_images_V14.0.3.0.TMUMIXM_20230909.0000.00_13.0_global_4d0e42ec32.tgz .​

use this guide:

Remember!!!! when using the tool, never click "clean all and lock", unless you want to lock the Bootloader again and possibly brick your device (if you have done any modifications). Good luck.

Can't receive calls ????

I have a problem in all GSI's, and the solution is probably in the phh treble settings.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You may lost the IMEI/baseband in the process, check it.
[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
That was the first thing I checked, you frequently lose the IMEI numbers flashing and formatting GSI's. why I can't figure out the problem, is because I have NO problem making calls, sending and receiving sms. The baseband is all there, It's only incoming calls that are the problem. The phone doesn't even wake up, the signal is not registered at all.

I read on various forums that you can take files from the stock firmware, in the /system/vendor/lib64/ folder, make a Magisk module and just flash it. But that folder contains tons of files and have no idea which specific file I need to copy, ore which files is about phone calls.

libimpl-ril.so

librpmbclient.so

libwpa_client.so

Is for sms if I understood correctly, but which files are for calls. or is it so simple that I missed doing something in the treble settings???.

Hi,

I'm just moving from Linux to Chrome OS with my first Chromebook. In Linux you always have to check first if new hardware will run with Linux or not, how is this with Chrome OS?

I want to buy a USB Hub with RJ45 for my Lenovo IP, do i have to check first if the hardware will work with Chrome OS or can i buy hardware, like best deal on amazon and it will work out of the box with Chrome OS.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but as former linux user im used to it, that not every hardware always works with the OS.

[General Questions and Answers] vermy:
I been a member of this forum for some time and still don't know the definitive meaning of 'stock firmware" with regards to making a modified Magisk Boot.img file. I'm not clear on if the stock firmware is the original non-updated firmware, or the current firmware on the phone, or what? I seem to get it wrong quite often. I'd appreciate any clarity on this I can get.

EDIT: For instance: I buy a two year old cell phone, never had the bootloader unlocked but been updated regularly. If I want to unlock the bootloader and flash a modded Boot.img file to root it, is the "stock firmware" the version that currently resides on the phone, or an earlier version?
[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
Hi vermy ...

"Stock firmware" is the Operating System or so-called "firmware" that the manufacturer of the phone has installed during manufacturing. The manufacturer of your phone, hires a company that tailers suting a firmware based on the phone hardware. Like processors, graphics, NFC chipset etc etc etc. and adds all the necessary drivers for this hardware in to this firmware, so that your camra with 48MP, gives you 48MP and not 5mp etc etc. And usually the same company that updates the firmware and security patches etc.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It depends on some facts, in some countries, you, even, can call without a IMEI, but, still you need a baseband. if you are absolutely sure, both are there, then the issue may be solved, by flashing again, the latest stock ROM, that´s available for your device, then flash that GSI, again, we can´t know, if you are coming from a custom ROM, flashing GSI over it, may be not the best, but, over the stock ROM.

If, still, doing that, you face issues, then you can try with, either, trying, just to prove a stock Google GSI, available in the Google site, and, or, restoring some partitions like nvdata, nvram, nvcfg, mdp, and maybe one or two more, it depends again.

Not really changing it but basically What's going on right now when I boot is:

SAMSUNG galaxy with a warning stating that operating system is not official.

Pixel Experience boots.

Long story short, I came home the other day and found my kid had somehow gotten my phone into safe mode. After rebooting, I noticed a lot of things either working incorrectly or not at all. GPS issues, Bluetooth issues, etc…

Is there a way to reset everything without having to go through the whole rooting process again?

[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
Safe Mode removes all permissions from all third-party apps and puts the apps to deep sleep. This is so you can uninstall problematic apps. But in a rooted phone, All app with root permissions, that are normally not allowed in an unrooted phone, are now only given regular app permissions, when you exit safe mode. and ending up with app that wants to play tough, but has no permissions to do so, so to speak. How you get your root permissions back depends on how you rooted the phone. Magic Manager or SU. And which app do you want root permissions back for.
