I have a CUBOT king kong mini 3 (mediatek).

I tried to root the phone but I bricked it. To fix I accessed the brom and flashed the firmware again.

I tried several methods to root and install TWRP. All of them (more than 8) failed miserly and I give up.

Now my phone has 2 messages on boot:

"dm verify corruption" and "orange warning"

I tried to flash vbmeta, vbmeta-vendor, vbmeta-system with official firmware, did not work.

I tried to run `mtk da seccfg lock`, after that, the phone even turn on. I had to enter in brom mode and unlock seccfg again to pass by boot stage.

I want only erase everthing needed to restore the dm verification and lock the seccfg to remove these two verification nightmares. It is possible? I already tried several tutorials and none of them works... I'm with almost no option here...
[General Questions and Answers] TheGiantHogweed:
I've recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. I have some pretty big problems when it boots up. It seems to me like the system has some glitch. Whenver it gets shut down, it rarely boots up properly without a load of issues.

It usually takes around 2 minutes just showing the samsung logo, then states that it is loading ONE UI for at least another minute or often longer. Then I get to the lock screen, which I have no pin or gesture - just a slide up to unlock. It takes multiple attempts to unlock it as the screen seems to keep turning off requireing a press of the power button and this process often has to be repeated a few times. Once I'm in once, the problem goes intirely for however many days I have the tablet turned on. The screen also has no problem unlocking other than from boot up. Basically, shutting down often creates 5+ minutes of fiddling around to try and get it to function again, so I just have to leave it on all the time. The odd time it does boot up fast, I'm usually just stuck with the unlocking and blank screen issue for several minutes. Until unlocked succesfully, the system UI feels incredibly unstable.

Any suggestions of what this could be?

A couple of other unrelated questions, but things that I'm struggeling to get this tablet to do that almost all other android devices let me do.

Note: I wasn't sure weather I should create 3 seperate posts for these 3 questions or put them all in one post. I couldn't find anything about that in the rules (unless I missed something) so hopefully the way I've laid it out is ok.

Scedualed power on and off. Is this just missing in android 13 or something? A real shame I can't get it to at least reset every night without me needing to do that myself.

USB C audio. I quite often plug in external microphones or my DAC audio devices as they are better than the headphone out. I don't seem to be able to find an app that works for this tablet. Am I missing any obvious ones?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there any way I can download an apk directly from playstore without going through other sites? Sometimes apks on playstore take a long time to get updated on other sites like apkcombo, apkpure, sometimes they dont at all, hence my query.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You always can download an app, if available, and compatible with your device, through the Play Store, I don´t see the need to use other site.

Different scenario is for apps that are not in the Play Store.

if you think that an app, that is published in the Play Store, would be updated, early in other sites than in play Store, i don´t think so.
[General Questions and Answers] slowpoison:
For the emulator I use them on. Do you know of any AVD image I can use on android studio that lets me download and install directly from playstore into AS? Else I have no choice but to find the apks from external sites
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Firstly, I thought that if you have access to Play Store, apps are released at (almost) same time than you can see them, in other sites, other sites are just "mirroring" the app, that is already available in Play Store, so I didn´t see the point to search for them outside of Play Store.

Like now, you are mentioning As, I assume, you don´t have a GP interface to interact with, and then you need to download an apk from other site, to install/update it manually.

You may read this https://stackoverflow.com/questions...out-playstore-like-facebook-app-or-any-contes

Regards the AVD for AS, I don´t know of a specific that makes that.

Also, if you can install other app market like Aurora, F-Droid, maybe they can do the trick.
[General Questions and Answers] slowpoison:
Most of the times they do update automatically, however rarely, it takes time. I tried aurora and fdroid, some of the apps are not listed, or has been taken down due to © complaint which is another problem and reason I was looking for a direct way to dl from playstore to pc to AS.

Hey all! I have used this forum a few times for some troubleshooting and excellent advice/info.

Im hoping I can get a smidge of help with identifying a connector plug.

The plug in question is on the back of a Kenwood DNN991 Head Unit

The unit seems to have bricked and I only get a boot screen then a black screen, I think this cable im looking for can directly hook to the mobo of the unit so that I can possibly change it or reboot as new.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Once you unlocked it, you need to perform a factory reset, by doing python mtk e userdata, then if you can´t boot due to DM-verity error, you need to flash a blank vbmeta, not the official, you´ll see that inside the mtk-client zip, there is one available.

Regards the orange state warning, some OEMs include it, to advertise from an unnoficial method used., this does nothing more than a cosmetic warning. I saw a script, around the net, that erase this, just search for it.

When you mention that you can´t install TWRP, probably what you mean, that you can´t boot to it, because mtk client does the installation, it doesn´t matter, which image you are writing in which partition, booting manually is required, not through commands.

Once you completely get this, then you´ll can root it, depending if your device have ramdisk, have a recovery partition, and so

Hi,

I recently found the source code of several kernel modules of my tablet and I wanted to build them to complement my kernel source build, however I'm not too sure about the way to go about it

Files · master · SPRD-stuff / Bsp Modules

GitLab Enterprise Edition

gitlab.rosoperator.com

there doesn't seem to be a root makefile and several of the modules have a kbuild file, i'm not sure if i should put them somewhere in my kernel source

i looked on google but it's hard to find accurate results for this specific case
[General Questions and Answers] Kai2150:
Hi, so I am new to rooting. I have a Google Pixel 5a that i have rooted and installed Lineage OS on. I have gotten safety net to pass with the basic evaluation, checked by YASNAC, or Yet Another SafetyNet Attestation Checker. I also have LSposed installed and I have been installing magisk and lsposed modules for the last hour, customizing way after my 10th reset.

I have a could of issues I need help figuring out.

The first is where are resources and/or documentation for what the current root is capable of. Maybe its a list, maybe someone has explain it before idk, im confused and dont exactly know what I can or cant do. If I was an advanced user or maybe even had enough money to pay someone to make things I do know I want then I wouldnt be here asking but i have been unable to find a non convoluted and confusing take on the current rooting capabilities and/or where to find these things

Second, I used AOSP Mods to make the status bar thinner, however some apps still act like the status bar is still full size, I would like to fix this but i have no idea what im looking for. Everything i know now i because i happened upon it by chance, so can someone point me in the right direction?

Third and the MOST ANNOYING ONE, for one reason or another the google play store keeps saying apps are incompatible with the device, which is BS cause it a GOOGLE PIXEL 5a, Even the settings register it as a Pixel 5a. The easiest example of this is the fact that KWGT isnt in the google play store, and while I know about Aurora Store and it did let me download KWGT, i have paid version of KWGT Widget Packs that id like to use, but cant because of License verification. The more annoying part is that I went through the effort of getting a LSposed module called Core Patch, that didnt seem to bloody work..... Or even XMLPak which is supposed to show you apps that are unavailable to you normally.

Here is a list of all the modules I have installed, just so you guys can see if I somehow installed something thats ****ing up my google playstore

LSposed

_______________

AOSP Mods

Bluetooth ToolKit

Classic Power Menu

Core Patch

Themer - Project Themer

Magisk

__________

AOSP Mods (Full Version)

MagiskHide Props Config

Stratosphere x Performance (which isnt working for some reason cause it worked before....)

Themer

UNiversal SafetyNet Fix

xmlpak - a road to vendor apps

Zygisk - LSPosed

Apps that use root that are installed

___________________________________

Aurora Store

FaceUnlock (doesnt work from what i can tell)

Fox's MMM

Magisk (obvs)

Termux

Vanced Manager

Other than those I havent done much else. Can someone help me, these things are driving my adderal induced hyper focus head ass up a damn wall......
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Try in safe mode if that fixes it start uninstalling apps until you find the offender.

Factory reset if that fails then be careful what you load.

If that fails reflash to Android 9 or higher.

Possibility of a rootkit or malware.
[General Questions and Answers] Darkmatterx76:
Would you be able to recommend a program to do this?

Also, you mentioned Linux. Are you saying that a Linux program will run on an android phone (I've never used Linux) or that there's a way to create a virtual environment of the Linux OS on my Windows 10 PC to use the recovery program on the phone's internal storage through a USB connection?

Thanks

[Edit] I should have added that I don't even care if I get them back as cellular texts. All I want/need is the actual text information. Even if it gave me a txt file I'd be happy.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don´t know of a specific app, sorry, I never keep (really) sentimental important stuff on my device. Test every program that suits better.

Not to use Linux in Android, but to mount the device in the PC, Linux would treat it as an external storage, and use some app from there.

Hello all

I have a Moto G6+ that does not display anything in "fastboot mode"

I can communicate with it via USB (e.g. [>fastboot devices] shows it is connected) and the backlight is on, but no display.

The bootloader unlocks fine and I have reset the phone using the Moto RSA tool.

The following video shows what I'm expecting:

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Or anything I can try in order to narrow it down? The phone has been dropped in the past so internal damage is possible, but in general the phone appears to work fine with Stock ROM.

Thanks in advance!

*I have searched for this issue all over and it seems unique (which is odd). I have also posted about this issue elsewhere on this site and ended up in a fruitless discussion about the definition of the screen I am expecting to see. Both of this points to me probably not knowing what I'm looking at and using wrong search terms so please if you can enlighten me on that front too I'd be very happy to be corrected!

it works great with wifi, however Im looking for alternative marketapp, does it exists?

thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you refer "reset" as a factory format, then it won´t do the change.

If you are referring to the picture/letters showed in the fastboot screen, in some devices, usually they come into the bootlogo/logo.bin, so flashing this file may fix it.

if you have the bootloader unlocked, you can try something like this https://xdaforums.com/t/more-bootlogos-for-moto-g6-ali.4232247/ this is a specific https://github.com/Broly1/Moto-G6-Custom-Boot-Logos/raw/main/zip/ff7seph.zip
[General Questions and Answers] MrTargren:
Since it looks like a lot of things have changed since the last time I had to do it, and now it looks like I have to get a "new" phone:

What is the current State of rooting? Specifically:

Are root hiding and/or SafetyNet fixing still mostly reliable? With even non-security-critical (i.e. things like SMS) apps starting to refuse to run on rooted devices, this is more important to me now than it was in 2020, and I could never apply the SafetyNet fix because LSposed wouldn't install correctly on my G7 Power (something to do with some data not being set early enough in the boot process or something. I can't seem to find the github issue again)

Should I be looking for a phone that can re-lock the bootloader after doing so? I've read recently that Motos are particularly bad for that, so I'll have to look for a new brand, if it's still the case. If it's something that's not critical, or not even possible anymore, then I can take it off of the list of criteria.

Also, it's probably wishful thinking, but are there any phone recommendation resources out there, since I know "I want X,Y,Z and W would be nice, but isn't a dealbreaker" posts are annoying, and I don't want to be that guy.

Hey guys! I've been having an issue and IDK how to fix it after searching for days, My GF tasked me with making her old Arnova 9 G2 (quite the big device) usable again which... doesn't really seem possible, seems it's rooted (IDK why) but since it works with android 2.X nothing works, Chrome doesn't work, Firefox doesn't work, play store doesn't work, etc. etc. Is there a way of making it usable? The only use I've thought about so far is downloading her books or College videos there for her to study, but i'd like for her to be capable of at least search something in google or watch a movie there without having to download it.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You need to find a way to add the driver to the kernel for your device by compiling a new kernel from your device's stock source code if you are using stock ROM or the LOS source code for your device if you are using a LOS ROM incorporating the driver into the new kernel during the build process or by rooting the device and finding an app that has a feature that allows you to insert the process that runs the driver into the system processes running in the background or by using adb commands or a script to manually start/run the process during/after boot.
[General Questions and Answers] seledreams:
I think you misunderstood my question, I know how to add a driver to the source. The issue is that this driver will not compile because it depends on qualcomm specific headers and functions
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ah.. sorry.

You should be able to use something from your device's stock kernel source code to compile a new kernel for stock or LOS since the stock kernel is built for Spreadtrum, shouldn't you?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is no cookie cutter, all in one 100% complete answer to this question. It depends on the differences between the devices and the differences between their firmwares. The recipe for porting firmware between devices is not the same for all devices.

You'll just have to buckle down and do your own research and use trial and error until you get it pieced together properly. You'll probably cause bootloop with your first attempt or you may even brick the device before you get it 100% correct. You'll be taking your own chances so you need to weigh the risk vs reward.
