Today I'm gonna try the cmd shell.

By saying TWRP file manager I meant I used the file manager that is found inside the recovery.

Also can the terminal in TWRP delete it?

I unistalled the app by the .zip that the developer provided with the app, the instruction just said to run it and I've done it but that folder stayed.

I didn't mean I was deleting these two, I was installing them with the .zip, not removing manually

As magisk and xposed, YouTube Vanced has it's own unistaller so I used it, but it failed.
[General Questions and Answers] GianSeven:
I just realized that i don't know how to do it. Can you link to something or give me the specific command to run?

Probably a big noob question but it's been driving me nuts for a month now, have an LG G7 Thinq using chrome browser, the issue is my "tabs" they always had previews when I'd press the tab count, without changing any settings they switched to list view which is a pain when you have multiple pages open. I'm pretty sure when I had my galaxy s8 there was an option for this, I can't find anything on this phone, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Help!!!!! Gionee gn5001s stubborn root

I have a gionee gn5001s that is stubborn to root. I'd like to say I'm not a noob but this phone is making me seem so. I have:

Tried the various rooting apps i.e kingroot, kingoroot, framaroot etc

Installed TWRP to flash supersu or magisk but all storages read 0mb and it is unable to mount storage

Tried adb sideloading supersu and magisk

Reset the phone to try to remove any encryption, still the same problems

Pls all geniuses help me find a solution. I'd love to see how this problem is solved. I can't use an android without root :crying:
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
- In order that TWRP recognice internal memory, when you say reset what did you do; Format data (not wipes)?

- Before to try to flash Magisk/Supersu; sucess or failed; TWRP recogniced internal memory?

- What did you get through adb sideload, it flashed or didn´t upload the file?
[General Questions and Answers] LCOD:
-TWRP recognizes but cannot mount any storage.

-I tried format data and also advanced wipe, all failed.

-adb pushes the file but it still fails to flash
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
- From the site where you downloaded TWRP other users have the same issue?

- Unlock bootloader first and then.....

- Extract your boot stock from the firmware zip , put it in your internal memory and patch it using Magisk app and.....

- Flash it through fastboot or if your rom stock provide a scatter file you can flash it also using SPFlashTool.
[General Questions and Answers] LCOD:
Thanks for the reply, will try it.

No it isn't
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Clear data from Titanium Backup, Install Busybox, open again TB and wait it asks for grant or go to Supersuser manager in Magisk and grant permissions.
[General Questions and Answers] LCOD:
I have cleared data and cache for tb, updated busybox. It still gives no root error, says "this attempt was made using system/bin/su command"
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
CWM it´s not suitable anymore for actual devices, I guess that it´s unable to mount system in order to flash it properly and it looks that the TWRP version that you used before it´s not well made/built/ported; if you have some link to it.

Meanwhile you can follow the last indicated, unlock bootloader, patch boot image with Magisk app and flash it through fastboot.

Some chinese mtk SoCs (6735/6757) have a "strange" behaviour (virus?) that sometimes don´t allow other controllers so I solved that in my last similar deviceto this debloating it totally, and I got finally no resistance to anything I wanted to do.

Hello Guys.

So my query is regarding a bug in Google contacts sync feature. I don't like online syncing & stuff ( because it eats up all my mobile data and makes duplicates copies of my files, so I prefer backing up my data manually ) so I disable any syncing option, but say for example when adding a Gmail id, by default all the items are set to sync from calender to play games cloud save etc. So in a few seconds till I switch off all the tabs it's syncs 1 or 2 items. Now there someday accidentally it might have synced my contacts. So when I noticed it I went to the browser and to Google contacts and deleted all the synced contacts. But when I formatted my device ( which I keep doing generally because I keep testing different roms & stuff ) and added my same email id, it synced all those contacts again into my phone. I turned off the sync again for contacts & deleted those contacts from my device. Again I headed to the browser and went to Google contacts and found no contacts there, because I had already deleted it, right ? So from where could those contacts sync ? Upon further researching I found there is one more option to recover contacts in Android, it's in settings/Google/restore contacts ( under services tab ). Here I saw my backed up contacts which I might have accidentally synced. There are 2 entries as of now, clicking on which my contacts will be restored. But now after I realised the bug, when I reset my device I first turn the sync off, then add the email id, turn on the sync except for contacts & then manually import my contacts from a vcf file. My query here is why would those contacts not show up in the web browser but in such deep hard to reach Google settings where no one wanders around. And they will sync definately even today to annoy me until I take asforesaid precautions. SO HOW TO DELETE THEM ? All screenshots for reference are attached below.

Thanks.

Every app works well and can find root except for TB. I think it has to do with where root is. Magisk su is in system/xbin but SuperSU which TB is used to is in system/bin. I've tried copying su from xbin to bin but it makes no difference
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Are you rooted in system mode or are you using systemless root?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don´t think that this is the issue, if BusyBox is properly installed TB will find the path, maybe it has some conflict with older installation and files that are remaining.

Start from the scratch; go to settings/apps/Titanium Backup and clear data, uninstall it, then go to data/app and delete com.keramidas.Titaniu...... folder and in your sdcard go to data/com.keramidas.Titanium...... and delete this folder, go to recovery wipe caches (only) and reboot, then reinstall and wait that TB ask for permissions.

Hello!

Last year the screen on my BLU NEO XL broke. I have had multiple phones since then, but I have files on it that I'd like to recover. I don't want to repair the screen just for my files, but it's looking like I might have to.

I've tried ADB pull, but I had a PIN on the lock screen of the phone and it wants me to enter it before I can use ADB.

I've tried USB OTG, but my phone just doesn't recognize it.

I have only one hope. I'm not sure if it's an AOSP recovery or some sort of recovery made by the manufacturer, but it had a backup option, which backed up the entire phone to the external SD card as three .backup files. Does anyone know how I can decompile these?

Best advise anyone can give you (this goes for all things tech related) you get what you pay for. This is far more true as this next generation learns of things like product binning (Which is used more and more outside the chip companies to supply these growing chinese OEMs).
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I just look for tempered glass protectors with at least a 9h hardness rating with oil resistance and then I choose based on two factors.

1) most important, I read reviews to find a product with a good consumer rating.

2) then I choose by the price I'm willing to pay, but I don't look for the cheapest, I still choose a product with a good consumer rating.

Is it 9h hardness?

Is it oil-resistant?

Does it have good reviews and ratings?

Is it within my price range?

If it meets these requirements, it's a good protector.
[General Questions and Answers] kos25k:
thanks dude.it makes me very curious the facts that it gets so dirty.and I think maybe the screen of my mobile has also to do with this?very weird!

Android System Storage EXTREMELY High

I got the "storage is running out of space" warning this morning, so I looked at my storage. I have 64gb internal storage and a 128gb Samsung SD card. The first time I looked, the SD card was showing that is was completely full, 128gb of "system". I tap that and it says "System included files used to run Android version 8.1.0". Clearly 128gb of system storage is WAY too much. I restarted my phone and it got better, but it is still WAY too much, now at 65gb. My internal memory is showing an additional 9.4gb of system storage, which seems more reasonable.

I have an Mi A1, which is part of the Android One program. I don't know if this is a bug in a recent update or what. Anyone else having this problem?

[General Questions and Answers] terrymc:
Hello all its been about 5years since i rooted last. I realize process and software has changed thus the question, i can't seem to get a strait answer. Can you download TWRP without rooting to simply download a ROM? Trying without PC to no avail, tried with ODIN , it failed. I located the correct TWRP file for my SMG955U . Downloaded TRWP from google play to revert to after the file downloads but i cant get it to boot to recovery to over ride the stock recovery. Any help would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try the Tasker app from Playstore.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You can download TWRP from play Store but it´ll need root permissions to flash a recovery onto your device.

If your carrier didn´t lock the bootloader and you have the correct TWRP version maybe it could work a modded/patched odin to pass some errors during the flashing process https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528067949 but if you don´t have any error and received a PASS message you have to check in your device if you already didn´t in developer options USB debugging and OEM unlock if its present and in Odin untick the option Auto Reboot before to flash it, power off device when finishes and boot manually to recovery, here how to do it https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...-s8-into-recovery-mode-download-mode-0177223/

Otherwise if your carrier locked bootloader you can´t install a "normal" custom recovery and you will need a modded recovery like safestrap https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/development/recovery-locked-nougat-7-0-safestrap-t3772761

Before to go further download your rom stock just in case the things go bad.
[General Questions and Answers] terrymc:
I really appreciate the input. I am pretty sure the bootloader is locked. I am on 8.0.0. What about downgrading back to 7.0.0? Will that work or will the locked bootloader from 8.0.0 stay intact and prevent it. I saw the safestrap method you mentioned above, but again it says 7.0.0 for nougat.

Rot Access for Custom Kernels?

Do you need root access in order to flash a custom Kernel? I know that you can flash a custom kernel just like any other rom but could not find a definitive answer whether or not you nee to have root access in order to flash a custom kernel.

In my experience you end up in a fastboot loop if you try to flash a custom kernel without root
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Yes

EDIT: with some devices you may be able to without root, but you'd need an unlocked bootloader at least
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, first of all you have to know that it´s not possible flash (or at least let it run) a "normal" custom recovery in devices with locked bootloader. Safestrap leaves intact the main system and creates a new slot to flash a new rom (if it´s available) onto it. Years ago I used it.

Some newer Samsung devices that normally don´t allow downgrades can be downgraded flashing only the AP files (then to extract your firmware) using in Odin only the AP box (don´t pick the other files), if you want to give it a try download your actual rom stock to can revert it.

Help needed for Huawei Ascend Y520-U03 - Backup of NVRAM data with Maui Meta

Hi everybody, hope that this is the right place for my request. If not, please kindly direct me to a more appropriate forum.

I have here (Germany) an Huawei Ascend Y520-U03, originally from Colombia, on which I wanted to flash a CWM recovery. Unfortunately, this did not work, and more unfortunately, the NVRAM section of the phone got corrupted in that course. I know that this is a problem of older MTK SoCs (the Y520 has a MT6572), so I was able to find solutions for some of the problems coming from the NVRAM error, i.e. I could restore original IMEI, WLAN-MAC, and Bluetooth MAC. However, GPS is not working since flashing, and that is a problem.

I have now (too late for me...) found an official documentation from Huawei where they describe a procedure to backup and restore the critical NVRAM data with Maui Meta: Choose "Update parameter" and then select everything ==> AFC; RX Path Loss; W Coefficient; TXIQ; GMSK Level, Ramp; EPSK Level, Ramp; Interslot Ramp; Open Loop TXPC (GMSK); Open Loop TXPC (EPSK); WCDMA Temperature ADC; WCDMA Path Loss; WCDMA TPC; WCDMA PA Draft Compensation; WCDMA PRACH Tx Temperature Compensation ==> then save all data to a file that can be restored also with Maui Meta.

I have Maui Meta and I can work with it, but, unfortunately, I have no backup from a not corrupted NVRAM. Thus, my idea is now to find somebody else with a working Huawei Ascend Y520-U03 (U33 would work as well, according ti Huawei's documentation) who could produce such a backup file for me with Maui Meta and send it to me. As mentioned, this is only about the non-working GPS, because I have my own IMEI, WLAN-MAC, Bluetooth MAC and S/N and can put them on my phone after NVRAM restore. My problem is that this phone was never sold officially in Germany, so I need some international assistance. Would be great to find help here! Thanks in advance for every reply, be it a hint, an offer or a tutorial to resolve the issue by some other method.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Root has actually not much to do with it, usually you flash custom kernel by using a custom recovery (or PC programs like fastboot, SPFT, etc.), this does not require root and leaves the device in a absolutely bootable state. Only if the kernel itself is flawed boot issues can arise. Root is required when you like to change parameters and settings of the custom kernel by using a kernel manager app like kernel adiutor while having android up and running, or if you want to flash a kernel (update) via said kernel manager app.

So flashing a custom kernel via TWRP to use it without root privileges is possible and shouldn't cause any problems... however the device needs to be bootloader unlocked!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
TWRP can do what it wants without root, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to flash SuperSU or Magisk to root a device. You can also flash non-rooted custom ROMs via TWRP, non-rooted custom ROMs aren't very common though.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
That actually changed the last 2 years, I'm not aware of any custom ROM project today that does ships their builds pre-rooted, only lineageOS does provide a add-on zip to provide generic root - all others suggest to flash magisk if root privileges are wanted by the user...
[General Questions and Answers] Elcarambadennsiwillja:
Okay, my bootloader is unlocked and I use the treble version of twrp but as soon as I try to flash a custom kernel it only boots into fastboot mode until I "fix" it with a nandflash backup.

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Are you on a "treble ROM"?

Because the kernel has to support project treble too, you can't flash a non-treble kernel version on a treble ROM, treble kernels mention their support specifically somewhere, there're often 2 versions of the same kernel (treble /non-treble), also the treblelized TWRP is a potential problem if used on a non treble ROM - if you flash a custom kernel on a old-fashioned (non-treble) ROM use non treblelized TWRP and make sure it's a non-treble custom kernel. Use the treblelized TWRP only to flash compatible software i.e. treble ROM & treble kernel, for evert else use the non-treble version.

The RN4X got "only" unofficial treble support, I'm not sure what the developers did to achieve this, I'm not sure if franco supports unofficial treble but I doubt that (don't now the other kernel).

That's the most likely problem I'd see with what you've reported...
