Still looking for help on how to get my phone reset.

So I’m on a Google Pixel and I went into settings -> apps -> magisk -> storage & cache, and I cleared both of those out. Restarted the phone and then launched the app. It never asked for any permissions or anything when I rebooted and launched the apps. They just started like normal but also things not working properly. Do I have to delete the apps after clearing the data? Do I have to do something specific in Magisk? It still shows the app as a super user after deleting cache and storage.
[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
Well, What I find a bit odd is that you got Bluetooth and GPS issues, as neither of those have anything to do with your root, and I wonder if you had some underlying issues before the safe mode was initiated, but maybe didn't notice it. Are you on stock firmware? or GSI /rom?. The problems you refer to, is consistent with issues people get, when initiating safe mode on GSI ore roms, built from a different firmware base then your phone model.

In any case, it's safe to say you should make a backup of what you think is important in your phone, before you go ahead and try new solutions to your problems.

If something goes wrong, you can just restore the phone with:

fastboot flash boot magisk_boot.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

Or if you are on a dynamic system:

fastboot flash boot_a magisks_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_boot.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

I believe this was the guide I followed: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-pixel...ootloader-update-root-pass-safetynet.4443457/

There is literally nothing on the phone I care about. It can be completely wiped if that makes things easier?

To speak to the specific issues, I’m using something called PGSharp for Pokemon Go. One of the things it does is called Virtual Go Plus. There’s a device that you normally connect with Bluetooth to the phone. Someone the app mimics that, so there may not be Bluetooth issues in the traditional sense.

On the gps end, it spoofs the location of the phone. The issue is that it keeps telling me it can’t find my gps location. So again, it may not be a gps issue in the traditional sense.

I honestly think both of these issues are because when it got kicked into safe mode, somehow permissions or something to do with the root or whatever changed and now that app doesn’t work correctly.

I tried removing the app and redownloading things, etc… and nothing fixed it.

Have you tried rooting your phone?, is that why you are stuck in erecovery?.

A little more info would be good, so we know how you ended up in your predicament.
[General Questions and Answers] Sadegh.K:
Hi,

"flash root method", is that flashing via twrp or something else?
[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
OK. I quickly went through the installation guide you followed. flashing a different firmware than what the phone came with can be a little risky, that's why you get small updates directly on your phone from the manufacturer, so you avoid these problems. However, I assume you want to keep your phone in the state after following this guide.

Dust off your magic manager app. Go into fastboot mode and just wipe the system clean, without making any changes to your root. Reinstall Magisk, and you are good to go, back in to the pokemon business again -

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

PS....

Spoofing phone location can be done easily by downloading a simpel app and developer option.

Just don't forget to turn it off when you're done. This affects google maps and everything else on your phone to. "Ending up in Calgary, on your way to Florida.

If I'm not completely wrong, you have an intelligent battery monetoring system in your kernel, on that phone. If your battery is no longer working properly / damaged / overheated etc. the system will try to turn off the phone to cool it down.

However, if you get a mishap during boot, and the calibration of the battery system no longer matches the battery power or can detect your battery, then the system will do the same thing, try to shut down/ prevent you from booting the phone. You can get around this by flashing another rom. Or send it back to the manufacturer for battery replacement and calibration.

Well, If you have access to ADB from recovery, you can ADB pull files.

adb pull sdcard/folder target-folder

But most likely No. It is difficult for beginners to know where everything is located in a phone and the correct path to these files. However, it is never too late to learn this, and you can take the opportunity to do this now. Lots of information about this on various forums on the internet you can learn from.

Thanks, that did not work, but I have seemingly solved the issues. The answer was seemingly to get stock A11.0 checking other threads that have specifically recoveries for that OS.

EMMA -> Stock 11.0 from online or as it was in my case 9.0 from emma -> (unnecessarily used a download from that website, i guess ->) -> companion 11.0 -> finding a recovery for the stock rom in one of the threads.

I am not done yet though, but things are looking up.

If I have a custom recovery installed, do I need to do the first 3 flashboot commands, what do they do? And what about the optional partition file that he recommends.

Also what difference is it between the bahamut and griffin and the 4 zip / roms within, 2 in each? Am I understanding correctly that I need to choose 1 of the 1 800 mb zip files to flash? Can I flash one of these inside twrp or does it need to be adb sideloaded? I am noticing that twrp adb side load is not taking commands from windows and not being detected in adb sideload mode.
[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
No, no need to flash these three again, if you have already done this once, and haven't flashed over them with other image files.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

However, you must add fastboot -w to these commands, to delete scrapfiles:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

TWRP adb sideload, is only based on correct drivers. make sure you have the correct drivers for your phone model, and don't forget to install your drivers as Legacy drivers in windows computers.

Hi! A simple question, Can someone recomend a good and safe tutorial/tool to repair missing IMEI? Please!

I fix the phone of a friend (briked after an update), the phone is a Redmi 9, android 11, everything is OK, except for the missing IMEI. I plan to install a custom ROM, so, root is not a problem if necesary (bootloader already unlocked), i want to keep the same factory IMEI of the phone and no problem with just rescue one IMEI, my friend only use one sim anyway. I already try some tutorials, but every one is just malware or worst (i already give factory reset to the phone and format data twice, i will format my PC later today), that's why i'm asking for a safe recomendation, this is my first time fixing this problem.

I've got a Nokia 5.3 that's stuck in a boot loop. It just shows the "AndroidOne" screen endlessly until the phone gets hot and the battery runs out.

Is there a way to fix this or at the very least backup my data or even image the phone to preserve the data?
[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
Hi. You can't restore an IMEI on a phone with GSI ore rom. You need to be on Redmi 9 stock firmware. Is it just the IMEI number that is missing, or is it the baseband to?. Check in settings.

if it's IMEI only, use this tool:

Redmi 9 Repair Original IMEI Via Chimera | Halab Tech Support

support.halabtech.com

If your baseband is gone too, use this tool:

[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
Hi TangyApple.

If you can save your data?, Well, it depends if you have access to ADB in recovery mode.

Boot into recovery and check:

1. Hold down Volume Down + Power keys for a few seconds

2. Let go of all keys when Bootloader mode pops up.

Use Volume buttons to navigate and the Power key to confirm.

If you find ADB on the list, you can save some parts of your data, through ADB pull.

If not, you can reset the phone, and at least get back the ability to use the phone again.

Enter Recovery mode: Click once a combo of the Power button and the Volume Up button to skip the No command picture. Recovery mode will be on your screen.

Select "factory reset" from the list.

Done ....
[General Questions and Answers] ClownWorld:
The driver issue is very strange, i downloaded the https://developer.sony.com/file/download/xperia-5-driver/ and did the legacy thing as you said, it shows up with a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager Sony sa0121 adb interface driver.

Also tried https://software.sonymobile.com/dri..._Mobile_Software_Update_Drivers_x64_Setup.msi

Both are unsigned so I use the advanced startup function in menu to install them.

On a positive note I figured out that I was using wrong image for the device.

I built the ftf with the help of the flashtool, but once I go to install it it ends with this:

INFO - Preparing files for flashing

INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.

INFO - Using Gordon gate drivers version 3.2.0.0

INFO - USB buffer size set to 512K

INFO - Opening device for R/W

INFO - Device connected in flash mode

Then nothing, it just stays like that. Devices > Check drivers gives this:

View attachment 6043653

But this seems to be normal, as if I boot into bootloader/fastboot it does show up as such if I run that check, same for if I boot into OS and run adb.

There is the flash through fastboot as opposed to flash mode, but I am not sure which files to flash, like which .sin file is kernel and which is system (I guess system is the largest .sin file) and what about the hot boot option, irrelevant I guess?

Edit: managed to install the rom now, but I did not manage to find out why the bundled rom failed to flash with the tool.

[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
The answer to that question is: It depends on what you want to back up.

If it's pictures and files, Google drive is a snappy and good alternative with 15GB of free space.

If your backup contains contacts and personal information, is "All Backup & Restore" a good alternative. However, there are probably 200 apps to choose from, but they all do the same thing, whether you choose Titanium Backup or any of the other options. Most of it depends on the user-friendliness and how fancy the design of the interface you want to have.

I want to backup pictures, files and apps data, would that be possible with 1 app? I have not changed my phone for the last 6 years so I have quite some data.
[General Questions and Answers] SwedishForenger:
Yes, the All Backup & Restore is a good alternative. However, with 6 years of saved persenal data, I would have invested in a new SD card for 20$, just in case. Losing data caused by an old SD card going corrupt during saving process, would have been a sour pill to swallow. And for my pictures, even if I had copied them to an SD card, I had still signed up for a free google account with 15GB of free space, and backed up the pictures there.Just in case my dog set the house on fire and the SD card burned up. Pictures are one of the few memories of your life you can NEVER recreate. so for me, losing all pictures of my children and friends and family, would have been a personal disaster.

device is a sony xz1 compact

I then flashed stock firmware using sony's emma stock android 9

and i cant get it work driving me crazy.
