I use windows Notepad to do some modding. The question is what modding you want to do. Any one tool does not do all modding, and the modding you wish to do may need a different tool.
[General Questions and Answers] JimboTimbo:
i mean for like rooting and flashing custom roms
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
To gain root (install Magisk) or flash custom ROMs, depending on your device, you should only need the platform tools. ie frastboot and adb.

I currently have a Note 9 SM-N960F. That's a European model, even though I live in the states because I wanted to use lineage os. However, T-Mobile is shutting down their 3g towers soon, meaning I will have to rely on VoLTE for phone calls. But I can't do that with lineage, so I'll have to flash official firmware. Should I flash European firmware, or the one for N960U (which is the US model)?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try the SM-N960F Global firmware or, if a GSM version of XSA(universal US firmware) for N960F exists, try it.

On a side note, the thread linked below discusses that you will not be able to use VoLTE with this model on T-Mobile with the stock firmware, regardless of which one you flash, but, it also discusses enabling VoLTE using root. If you can use root to enable VoLTE, you might be able to keep using LineageOS with VoLTE if the method works with LineageOS, if not, you can flash a stock firmware that can be rooted then use root to enable VoLTE with the stock firmware using the method discussed in that thread.

Hello,I have managed to take a backup of all the eMMC partitions using QFIL.How do I retrieve my data from it ?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I'm not using the tool a lot of time, this should come from an old post, search if it has an option to restore some partition/s, I know of QCN file for IMEI lost, don't remember for others, keep in mind that the main tool has other options within the other components, anyway, In case the tool doesn't have an option to restore things, then you can unlock the bootloader of your device (I don't know your model), then you can use some custom recovery, if available, or flashing partitions using fastboot mode.

what im curious about are skynet related since im on nusantara a11 mi439 (redmi 8 olive) ofi.

will it fail (revoke certification)?

will other apps notice?

it was a PITA to get the certified status. its been a few days since that happened again, and id rather still havem blocked. yep ive been hit with overcharges in the past mainly due to android updater deciding to update GBs over data outside and not on wifi at home

What they said has nothing to do with rooting, being new to rooting is no excuse for not understanding what they meant. They mean that XDA website has a search feature that lets you search the whole site or individual threads using keywords for what you are looking for. And the WWW search means to do a Google/internet search for what you are looking for.

In other words, search the XDA website for:

"Root (your specific model number)"

Or do a Google search for:

"Root (your specific model number)"

That should find a guide to root your device, if one exists.

[General Questions and Answers] Soumyadip999:
My question might be very basic and I would like to say thanks in advance to anyone helping me understand. But I have a very particular question. I have a untouched emmc dump file of my phone. How would I restore it? I didn’t make it. My friend made it and he is now too busy and far away.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It would help, let us know to which device, model, and what did you back up?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I am going to guess that you dont need to restore , but would be happy to simply be able to access the contained files. As pointed out previously, knowing the file format is important. Some things I would try/investigate are, firstly, I have surprisingly found multiple times that windows 7-Zip has been able to read the contents of a lot of files, thus enabling extracting selected files. Next, I would look at the possibility of setting up a Linux drive and restoring the image to that temp device. Again, the format is going to really make the difference of what you could do.

Moto G5s Plus. Lemme give you some background. After unlocking bootloader, and installing custom ROM and TWRP lost my VOLTE. So, reverted to stock Oreo and hardbricked my phone. Anyways I blankflashed it and brought it back to life but now my bootloader version is degraded to 0.5 from 2.07 and it wouldn't let me do anything. Even on a unlocked bootloader it's giving security downgrade and preflash validation failed errors. So, I need to restore now . I need to do it because there is no Baseband and the phone cannot take calls
[General Questions and Answers] Soumyadip999:
I can actually access them. Maximum of those are in img format. and the rest are in bin. I tried to flash them on my broken phone. The phone has no Baseband and no IMEI. It's a Motorola XT1804 and I have tried to fastboot flash the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions but the bootloader is denying permission. It's an unlocked bootloader. I have detailed my problem here https://xdaforums.com/t/moto-g5s-ba...own-imei-0-please-help.4460561/#post-87065299 but have found nothing till now that works.

[General Questions and Answers] fonzacus:
redumping onto a phone is hard and there are many partitions that cant be written on. the linux cli has a tool called 'dd'

dd (input file) if=/your/file (output file) of=/the/partition

for unpossible to dump partitions, youd need to grab the emmc and dump it in another tool. the tool is actually pretty cheap, its the mind boggling operation to get the emmc without damaging anything that comes at a high risk

id honestly say go to an sc so they get the job done right, and theyll pay for the damages themselves

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try using fastboot to flash the system.img and modem.img/bin(sometimes it is a .img and sometimes it is a .bin)

Or use adb and dd commands to dd each .img/.bin to its corresponding partition.

You can also try downloading a firmware with the bootloader that you need and flash the bootloader via fastboot.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Because the idiots of the world prefer to use social media style platforms instead of forum style platforms. They like being distracted by clickbait, nonsense posts, other people's drama and scammers instead of being logical and using a platform that focuses on a specific purpose with purpose focused rules and purpose focused content expectations.

You know how people are, they never want information straight from the horse's mouth, they want to know what she said, he said about what the horse said. That and most aren't technically minded enough to understand a lot of what is in technical places like XDA so they go to places like Telegram because they need information from places like XDA to be dumbed down for them by people that they hope/think understands the technical information from places like XDA. That is convenient, which is what society wants, but, the problem with that is alot of the people that come to places like XDA then go to places like Telegram usually lose something in translation, especially after getting passed around from person to person on those platforms. We are all familiar with the game where you line a lot of people up then whisper a message in the ear of the person in the front then pass the message from person to person, when it gets to the end the message has morphed into something that is not even remotely accurate to the original message.

Even lineages attitude wento worse, nonsensical exciuses about not providing last biuilds, i spent weeks trying compiling and without blobs from the deleted roms no way.

Is there any friiendly unlockable brand like was xiaomi wt44.... before they messed up edl? Still there must be a way , unfortutnately no info how programmers and bl are patched...

xmpp, fdroid, microg, what i miss is separate gps only position like in old 17.1 lineage, los 18 suddenly not support exfat..

My success rate of building roms and kernels fromhalf defunct repos was almost zero.

WHat i klack most is concise documentation on one place, ...

LOs+microg+mods, fdroid, xmpp - who needs whatsaapp and telegrams? e2e encrypted, just less known.

PS: I had telegram portable PC. Suddenly update, my stored creditentials were gone. Registration only via app. Buy SIM, put in my trusty GH388 Yes, GSM 900 only). Still have install telegream app on some junk phone to scan qr. And asking on telegram -- often instaban, LOS too. Another SIM in a pile of used SIMS. How i hate forced 2FA for any nonsense registration. My rule 1 email for few services, different passwords.

I dont understand sim swapping, its a cause of the tendencies piut everything to one email bound with a phone?

IMHO a SMS code from a bank via GSM dumbphone is safer than apps, smartphones etc. Id like hear arguments im not right.

God bless prepaid sims freely availabale at gas stations. No registration. How long this last freedom will last..?

Im frustrated if almost any flash has some minor issues....
[General Questions and Answers] Mumxek:
Be careful you can brick. As no EDL, i unlocked (xiaomi need mobile data grr), booted any recovery in fastboot, put sdcard and dd emmcblk to card. But without EDL or some way run adb, you have the only way reprogram the emmc externally....

EMMC has a Rpmb block, probably there are otp fuses in the SOC, i think its not worth the risk

You need to flash again, the latest version available, use this https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/158726, if you didn't break the things it should work, anyway, you said that your bootloader is unlocked, if so, you can use fastboot to flash back some images, modem files are not accepted without other combination files that let it "permissive" to do so, for example, if you messed up the bootloader partition, it won't accept be flashed, you need first, to restore it, using the right blank flash file, not anyone you find out there.

You are free to post here, I only consider the Fire General forum like a most extensive and appropriate place where find an answer.

I think it is not an issue from Windows but how the command is formulated, probably you have to check the syntax here, and not copy it as it is in that forum, "\\?\", unless I missed something, instead you should type the right path, anyway consider that you couldn't DD to your device, without su permissions.

[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
You are sure is an icon pack? I see that the phone icon isn't themed. For an very common icon, that's unusual. Maybe it's a theme.

The rhomboid shape is exactly what I'm looking for, but thanks for the suggestion, will try it in the meantime.

Edit: Notice how Messenger, vanced, maps, play store and camera icons are different from the others. That's why I think it was an icon pack.

Honestly it's been months since the phone used it that I've forgotten tbh so it very well could be a theme.
