Partial (incremental) OTA update as it is provided doesn't include many of the partitions, as in your specific case doesn't have an userdata image. And taking in account that you messed with some files from the userdata space, not having, the provided stock ROM, an userdata image, and not being the data wiped, then how this partition could be accessed again?. Flashing a recovery update is useless in this case, you'd need a full ROM, but again, a full ROM needs to replace/wipe the userdata partition, so the device can boot to OS, a full ROM won't discriminate to can replace selectively, only the files you tweaked/erased/uninstall/downgrade, it will wipe entirely the userdata space.

Files for QPST are not expected to be found into the firmware folder, but among the other images.

This doesn't harm at all.

As I explained previously, this also matter for this, the lack of those files.

QPST can be used without ADB or USB enabled or an encrypted device, but you need to send it to EDL mode and find the proper files to can use the tool, the most you can do now is search for the firehose programmer from a device that has a similar motherboard, and try if it works, I recommend you take a look on how it should work on other Qualcomm Asus devices to have them as reference, so all the Qualcomm Asus devices would be in the same boat, for example Google "unbrick Asus with QPST XDA"

ANDROID QUESTION (ios too in some cases)

Hi does anyone know how to find the url of an app, for example of I want to open camera on an android phone I would probably use camera:// . If I wanted to open another app like github then how would I find that specific app url? do i have to export the apk and find it myself?

Hi guys

I need your help again

I need your help again.

I want to access my own ADB shell without a computer.

Device is rooted and has Android 7.0.

I have already read a few things and also tried a few apps, but nothing works. I have an ADB tool, which also works to access other devices, but not my own localhost!!!

I can connect to ports other than 5555, but then my device will show up as "offline".

And on port 5555: > connection refused <

What can I do without a computer to gain access???

Thank you for your professional help!

Greetings from Germany
[General Questions and Answers] Rootbbit:
Exactly the same error message.

But I had to Download the ROM from another site. So not from Samsung directly.

That's why I asked you if you downloaded yours from Samsung or from any other ROM
[General Questions and Answers] optimusodd:
My device is not Samsung but Asus.Did you flash your ROM via Odin or by recovery ? Did that wipe your user data ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:

Use a terminal emulator app, it is the same thing as using ADBshell from PC. All of the commands for terminal emulator and ADBshell are the same except that when using terminal emulator, you leave out the "ADBshell" part of the command.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
@Rootbbit

I was tempted to post similar. Just note, there is about 1% of stuff that can only be performed from a PC through adb commands. ie not even via a shell from a pc.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
that is only true on rooted devices. any terminal emulator is just regular app running inside it's own uid, therefore cannot run privileged shell commands (uid 2000) like 'reboot recovery'

What do I do to fix
[General Questions and Answers] marmoh:
so an update: i kept trying to use my phone somewhat normally although it still had that freezing issue, everything was usual until one day it just blacked out like it usually would so i didn't asume anything peculiar and tried to go for that forced reboot only to notice it has taken an unusually long amount of time stuck on the samsung logo screen, and so i (ever so ludicrously) removed the battery then placed it back in only to reface what i now know is a bootloop (it NEVER bootlooped before)

so i went and rebooted into recovery mode and (again, evernso ludicrously) tried to wipe cache partition, which took unusually long time to do then when i rebooted my phone it would automatically boot into the blue screen that is normally preceding the boot into recovery, then for a few seconds i would get a black screen with all sorts of error messages flooding the screen continuously, messages such as recovery not found system not found etc, i attached (an accelerated) video of the occurrence. please note that this is what it automatically boots up to upon pressing the power button solely

now i thankfully found out that i can normally boot into download mode, but i never dealt with samsung odin or anything of the sort (but im willing to try with this one)

my main question is will the phone (at that given state) be capable of having a (stock) rom flash through download mode if the recovery is not accessible or will that only be overkill.

View attachment 5520255

im not dependant on that phone but i would really need for it to work again even if it wouldnt go back to its full potential as it is really special to me and I'd like to try one last time before giving up. sorry for the long talk

Hello. I have an oppo a53s and I wanted to root my device. However, I can't find my phone's firmware. I don't find any website that provides it. Thanks in advance. :) ♥️
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Did you see this https://droidfilehost.com/download/oppo-a53s-cph2139-flash-file-stock-rom-firmware?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, download the newest stock firmware your specific model number and region then flash that via Odin. Stock recovery has nothing to do with being able to flash stock firmware via download mode/Odin.

Do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your specific model number)"

That should find the tools and instructions to flash your firmware.

Is it safe to root modern Android devices with supersu zip file and TWRP? I have an OPPO a53s by the way. Thanks in advance, have a great day :)
[General Questions and Answers] optimusodd:
Yes it is.Why do you want to root it with Supersu instead of Magisk though ? SuperSU rooted devices wouldn't pass Google SafetyNet and hence some payment/banking apps and Android Pay won't work on these devices.While using Magisk,not only you can bypass SafetyNet but also take benefit of Magisk's inbuilt modules.
[General Questions and Answers] marmoh:
hey thanks for the reply, i followed your instructions and i finally managed to flash the stock rom after a few minor complications, its been working fine since the flash, even though i can't tell whether the freezing issue stopped for good or not yet, I'll find out later on. the odd thing to me though is these meesages in the recovery that don't seem to go away when after flashing a whole new recovery (as far as i understand is what happened). do you happen to have any idea as to what their significance might be? \\another update: the freezing problem just occurred :((

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Did you use Odin to flash the entire full firmware or did you flash an OTA update?

I suggest booting into stock recovery and select the factory reset option. Then flash the full stock firmware file via Odin. Your firmware should be a 4 or 5 part firmware and each file should be a .tar.md5 file, not a .zip or a OTA update.zip.
[General Questions and Answers] marmoh:
i did flash the whole firmware as far as i understand.. the BL, AP, CP and csc files
[General Questions and Answers] Monpoke:
Hello, I need to install an app that asks for Android 6.0 permissions, but my tablet has Android 4.4.2, the device is Huawei T1 701u. And the app if it helps to know is Swish by NBN23, the last version.

So the question is if I can install that app in some way on my tablet, the options that occur to me is to put an android 6.0 custom rom in it, but it is very complicated and also there is not even one for this tablet.

Then there is the apk Market helper but I don't know if it will work.

Finally, could the apk be modified so that it works on a lower version of Android? The app does not seem to be demanding so this option could be viable.

What do you recommend to do? Is there any easy way you can think of to install the app?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Which CSC file did you use? The Home CSC or the other CSC? The Home CSC doesn't wipe user data and the other one does wipe data. The errors that you're getting in recovery indicate that your device received a bad OTA update and you still have data hanging around from the faulty update, that data needs to be wiped either by factory reset in stock recovery or by flashing the firmware again and using the non Home CSC file when you flash it.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Upgrade to 6.0 or port the app to work with 4.4. Porting wont be easy, also, depending on what the app's basic requirements are for certain aspects of its functions, porting may not even be possible and even if there were a custom 6.0 ROM for your device, it would cause your old device to be very slow, it will use considerably more battery power causing your battery to drain considerably faster than it currently does. It would also probably make your device buggy/glitchy or even cause random reboots.

Honestly, you need to upgrade to a device with newer android versions because 4.4 really isnt viable with most modern apps from today.

Mobile devices are just like PC, once operating systems and applications have advanced to a certain point, older hardware just isnt viable and is not able to function on old hardware.

For example, I built a PC 6 years ago with all brand new parts and the most up to date hardware from the time and it isnt compatible with Windows 11 so if I want to upgrade to Windows 11, I'll have to buy or build a more up to date PC to use Windows 11, whether I want to upgrade my hardware or not, that is what it will take.

There are lots of devices with at least 6.0 that are very, very cheap. All in all, in the long run, it is in your best interest to just buy a cheap newer device. I'm as conservative as anyone and hate spending my hard earned money too, but you can't always have things the way you want them, sometimes you just have to suck it up and do what you have to do whether you like it or not.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you are referring to the bootloader, then, no other known method than using the In-Depth-test app https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oppo/...ase/depth-testing-1-0-1-android-apk-download/, if they want bootloader, being unlocked, then this is the method and follow the steps from the app.

For Oppo/Realme with MediaTek there is also other method though.
[General Questions and Answers] marmoh:
i used the non home csc. i don't remember if I've mentioned before but i do strongly remember that these errors only started coming after the last securit patch update às well as the freezing, blacking out and slight overheating. i tried flashing twrp yesterday over the (previously flashed) stock rom and it did not boot to the stock rom after doing a factory reset through twrp. and so i reflashed the stock rom along with the stock recovery which somehow made me enter the prenormal rmm state which i doubt ill ever get past since i read that it requires about 7 consecutive days worth of up time connected to the internet with a sim card inserted, and given the phone's constant freezing sessions it is practically unlikely to happen.

now should i try flashing the stock rom again but with the re-partition option checked or is that going to make matters worse?

again, i apologize for typing too much, i really appreciate you helping me out since the samsung customer service here really sent me off lol

Edit:

I flashed the latest rom I found (more recent that my country's ota one, that I've been flashing) it's a Turkish rom, the errors in the recovery are still there but so far there's no freezing and everything else is smooth sailing, hope it stays like that. I'll update if it turns out it still freezes.

Hello. How can I unlock the bootloader in my OPPO A53S? I've tried to install the depth testing apk but I can't install it. Is there any other way? Thanks in advance :)
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Other than something like a UFI box or similar, and if there is not an anticipated user that tried this or that, and they can confirm some success, you have to keep it trying with other versions from In-Depth-Test app, no other known way to unlocking for Realme/Oppo with Qualcomm, most of them not even can boot to fastboot to try some commands.

Some users refer that the Chinese firmware allow a limited amount of users, and with many restrictions, to apply for unlocking bootloader, I don't think if it is worth try to change the firmware, these devices are very bad, and easy to brick, with no other hope that send it to a repair center to solve it.
[General Questions and Answers] marmoh:
update: that did not resolve the issue either. i tried troubleshooting by flashing a combination rom and all the tests i did passed, not once did my phone freeze while running that rom tho, which made me all the more certain its not a hardware issue. the errors in the recovery disappeared except for that misc partition one while running the combination rom, upon reflashing the stock rom the errors in the recovery returned. i also tried flashing the firmware throught the recovery, adb and sd card both failed it keeps aborting, the recovery doesnt even recognize the sd card although the phone recognizes it while booted to the system.

should i try what's called a nand erase or would that be foolish?

Hi, I tried several times adding a new language to my phone as described in many APK-Multi-Tools guides and all works well but when I overwrite the original framework-res.apk in my phone I don't get any change and the language I add doesn't appear in the list.

By decompiling my modified apk I realized that the folders I add doesn't remain there after recompiling.

When I chose Option 11 to recompile my apk [after I added the values folders and strings.xml files] it asks me a question where I have to say y or n and if I say y it asks me to delete any xml I have modified from the "keep" folder. Having just added a folder and strings.xml I haven't modified any present xml so I keep everything as it is and press enter but then I get no changes from the original apk.

If I say n to that question then my recompiled apk doesn't work on my phone, even copying over the META-INF folder from the original apk as I was adviced here.
