So, following the only tutorial there is for Huawei MediaPad M5 lite 10 to install a gsi.

Tried using fastboot, the attached image shows what I get.

Then I ve tried flashing ramdisk and system through twrp. Flashed ramdisk on the ramdisk partition. When trying to flas a system img through twrp, I get these options :

ramdisk

kernel

Cust Image

Product Image

Recovery

Vendor Image

Version Image

Where do I flash it? Thought I would rather ask devs before flashing. Running an emui 8.0 on the tablet.

Need a helping hand!

Update : if it got any importance, the twrp available for it is the 3.2.1-0 version.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Different question, possibly not related to my previous ask for help, can you boot into twrp while still retaining the stock recovery? The guide tells that I need to install twrp in order to flash Disable_DmVerity_ForceEncrypt but I would rather keep the stock recovery.

Hi all,

I am having an issue with flashing my phone back to it's stock firmware. Being the noob to this that I am, I accidentally flashed a different preloader onto my device, bricking it. Does anyone know how to revert this? I didn't create a back up either.

When using SP Flash Tool, I get error 5054

It's an Alcatel 5044Y-2AHWGB1

I have also previously flashed it with TWRP successfully, I just completely forgot to back up.

Hope someone can help me and my idiocy. Thanks.

Hello everyone!

I just got Android 11 on my Galaxy S20. When I open WhatsApp in "pop-up view" I get this kind of window, but without that part where I put a red X. So, when I want to minimize the window, I have to tap where the yellow part is and after that the buttons will appear.

Is there a solution to make the buttons to stay like in the old version? (picture bellow)

Hey guys, I'm new here.

Stuck bootlooping on an LG G6. I want to know how to retrieve my data. I must note I have Debugging off, phone is running Android 9 with encryption (that's where it gets stuck, after I put in my code), It's not rooted, nor do I have ADB enabled. I know it's a lost cause, but all my studies are in that phone, so I come to you desperate for help.

I attached photos I found on the internet that best describe the problem (not my phone), it gets stuck on the second screen.

One side question is if any of y'all tried recovering files after resetting, using data recovery tools, how well did that go?

Thank you for taking the time to help, regardless of whether or not we find a solution.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
bootlooping, no root, no debugging, no adb. you might try your luck in service, because there isnt anything to do by yourself
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Can't guarantee. The phone is very old and apps are starting to drop support for Android versions lower than lollipop. Some have started even lower than marshmallow. I suggest you get a phone that was released at least in 2014. In order to ensure updates. Check lineage os, they are a big dev community that makes custom roms for old devices. Check what phone is the most popular, buy that. Yours unfortunately isn't popular and is quite old.

I can try a new smartphone is too expensive for me at this moment where can i get lollipop rom can you show a tutorial too ?

ARMv6 support is not now supported by WhatsApp, which means if you try to install WhatsApp, there are no ARMv6 library files to download, so it would not work.

I have a Samsung J3 Luna Pro (SM-S327VL) Which is a Tracfone smartphone from walmart that uses Straighttalk for data, I have other phones like this that have OEM unlocking disabled but this model for some reason doesn't so I thought ok I guess I'll root it but then I looked up TWRP and found only old posts from 2017-2018 talking about some kind of custom recovery for the model that they said doesn't work and even worse I can't even access the site where the .img of that recovery is so I was wondering if it was possible to maybe do something with Magisk maybe?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
a couple of observations I have to make here :

1. when you think of rooting a phone, it might be wise to search the phone before buying it.

2. go for popular phones, they have more support by the dev community. instead of going with a Samsung galaxy s6, a phone in the same price range, which has tens of custom ROMs, you went with a phone that has weaker stats and almost no support.

3. found this thread

https://xdaforums.com/t/sm-s327vl-root-support.3662669/

, read through, might tell you how to unlock bootloader. it's easy to flash magisk. unlock bootloader, get stock boot.img, patch with magisk the boot.img, flash the patched boot.img and you are done.

Hey.

I'm after a way to change status bar padding to push icons to the left or right.

Or a way to make invisible status bar icons as sort of place holders to force icons to the right.

I'm asking because on android 11 Google in their infinite wisdom removed immersive mode. I've found a Magisk module that works well for filling the entire screen in landscape without the nasty black bar.

In portrait mode however, the module not only deepens the status bar area even more, but it also pushes all status bar icons already on the left even further to left and under the camera cutout in the top left corner.

Screenshots included show what I mean about icons and clock being pushed under the camera. Left pic is normal and right is with module enabled.

OnePlus 8T running latest a11 based OOS if that matters.

I have two phones:

a Galaxy Pocket with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (rooted), kernel version 3.0.15-1222370 and keyboard version 1.0

and a Galaxy J1 Ace with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop (not rooted), kernel version 3.10.65-12300964 and keyboard version 4.0

I want to move the Ice Cream Sandwich keyboard to the J1. I got the apk and the odex files, put them in an sdcard, but when I try to install it simply says "App not installed" (didn't expect it to work)

Is there a way to do this, maybe modifying the contents of the apk? I found a "Layout" folder, and in my noob head I thought if I replace that folder in the J1's keyboard apk... but it seems too easy

I found some threads where people posted the 1.0 keyboard, sometimes even compatible with all devices, but the threads are too old and all the links are dead

Someone told me I was using the wrong file, but I don't really trust how much they know. When I asked them again, they always had an excuse, "I almost got robbed", "I had to destroy my phone"... :rolleyes:

Hello,

I used Firmware Finder to look for an older firmware for my phone.

I'm using a Huawei Mate 30 Pro with build "LIO-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.266"

I need a build earlier than 10.1.0.150 in order to use Googlefier to install Google Services on my phone.

Unfortunately, the earliest build I can find is 10.1.0.236.

Does anyone have any advice on how/where I can get an earlier build?

specs aren't everything. ever since pixel phones dropped by, software does more work and camera stats don't matter that much anymore. I would suggest topping those 650£ with another 40 and get the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra if you really want a very good camera on a phone. check some reviews anyway

[General Questions and Answers] Boris203:
Hello everybody, this is my first post. Hate that it has to be a cry for help, but hey it isn’t what is. Thanks in avance.

A couple days ago I traded my iPhone 6s for a Samsung S8+, we met at a spot with no WiFi where neither of us could reset our phones to factory settings, stupid on my part. I gave the guy my iCloud pass so he could reset it, but I didn’t notice that the s8 had a Samsung account attached. To be honest I didn’t think it would be a problem. To be short I am now stuck with a phone which I can’t remove the Samsung account, I have access to all the apps, settings but I cannot reset it since I don’t have the samsung account password. I tried doing the method of quick shortcut maker but I’m guessing the security patch has already taken care of that because I couldn’t find the same shortcut as they do in the tutorials. I spoke to a friend and he guided me to this page.

These are my questions

Is there any way of removing the Samsung account so I can do a clean reset of the phone?

Since I have access to the home, menu and settings page can I root or flash the same version rom so it gets rid of the Samsung account?

Btw I have tried to contact the person who traded the phone with me, he told me he was trading it for his cousin. A few days later I asked if he got in touch with his cousin to help me remove his account, he told me he was having trouble reaching him. The next time I got a little tough on him out of frustration, to which he responded by blocking me, I honestly think he was never going to help me.

Hope to hear back from you guys thank you.

you could contact that person again. according to this

If someone logged into my phone with their Samsung and Google account, what do they have access too?

Answer (1 of 3): Not much. But you will then have access to almost everything they have online/cloud that is related/connected to those accounts. Google account is connected to credit card if they setup such payment options in Google Play, you will have access to download history, browsing histor...

www.quora.com

you have access to someone account, that would mean credit card, cloud or contacts. buy something, themes app might not ask for a password, maybe that will make them get in contact again to disable the account. if not buy again. maxed out their account. is their fault is this way. people shouldn't leave their accounts everywhere.

with unlocked oem you should be able to install twrp with odin and fullwipe with twrp and download stock firware (sammobile.com) or custom rom and flash the firmware with odin again

I was trying to install Pixel Experiance ROM. I had problems copying the zip onto the SD card, so I copied it to my internal storage and wiped the internal storage from TWRP by mistake. Now I have no OS and I'm not in TWRP. What do I do now? Someone save me. My device is Moto G6 Plus.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
When connected to your pc, boot into twrp. Then, using adb, push the zip to your SD card or internal.

adb push <your os> /sdcard/
[General Questions and Answers] sugarkicks69:
I tried using abd but it gives me a message:

error: device unauthorized.

This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set

Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.

Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

I need an OS to check the confirmation dialog. Or is there another way?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Well, you could try removing the micro SD, insert it in your computer, transfer the custom rom and insert it back into the phone. Is the fastest and easiest way.

Or you could try flashing back stock ROM, turning on USB debugging since is a recommended feature for anyone trying to flash custom roms, and then try again your attempt at flashing a custom rom.
[General Questions and Answers] sugarkicks69:
The transfer would be useful. But, to install a custom ROM, I need the phone to have some OS running so I can accept the ADB request and I do not have that OS. I cannot turn on USB debugging because of the same problem. I do not have any display to give commands right now.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
So that's it then. Problem solved. Transfer the custom rom via the microsd way. Followed by an twrp install of it.
[General Questions and Answers] sugarkicks69:
Can you walk me through that please?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Sure. Remove the micro SD from your phone. Insert it in your SD adapter. Most micro SD cards nowadays do come with such adapter. Your laptop most likely has an SD adapter port. Insert it there. Download the custom rom to your computer. Copy it over your SD card. Remove the SD adapter. Remove the micro SD. Plug it in back in your phone. There you go.

If somehow your laptop /pc doesn't have that port, you can try the same procedure using a spare smartphone with a micro SD slot.
[General Questions and Answers] sugarkicks69:
And after that how do I flash it on the phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Are you really ready to install a custom rom to your device?? It seems to me you don't know even the basic functionality behind all these. The answer is simple: after you ve inserted the micro SD in your phone, boot into twrp, tap install, change directory, select micro SD, browse until you find the rom, select it and then swipe flash. That's it.
[General Questions and Answers] sugarkicks69:
Yes but to start that, I have to give my computer the access from my phone so I can use adb. I cannot do that if I do not have an operating system. I know how to flash a ROM when everything is working fine. I need help now because my phone does not have any operating system now.
