But he'll need a custom recovery to wipe the current ROM, won't he ??? You can't flash stock ROM over earlier rom, right ???
[General Questions and Answers] IceWing_mk1:
I'm crossposting this from the Moto G Power thread. Hoping maybe my problem(s) aren't unique to my model of phone and this may get some more eyes on it.

Ok, I'm stumped and I need help.

Last time I rooted a phone, it was our old HTC Thunderbolts... Things have changed significantly since then, or so it would appear.

Trying to fix my wife's phone after a Verizon OTA update seems to have jumped her phone from Android 10 to 11, and in the process nerfed the hotspot (which we need, as we're rural with no landline broadband available)

I'm working on a Moto G Power (sofia XT2041-4), bought late last year off the shelf from Best Buy.

Home PC is a Windows 10 box. I do not have a linux environment available to me.

So, here's where I'm at in the last 48 hours.

I have gone in and gotten the unlock key from motorola, and successfully undone the OEM Lock. (I know this is the case because it tells me I'm an idiot and I should lock it, every time it boots up now). This also managed to wipe the phone, which, oops, read to the end of the paragraph BEFORE unlocking and deleting pictures of the grandkids which came in since the last backup.

Somehow last night, I managed to get it to be a brick, but used LMSA to unbrick it, but that version is still the OTA updated Android 11, so same problem with the hotspot.

I have installed the Android SDK, newest motorola drivers, and also the standalone 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' on my PC

I've managed to get TWRP installed in the recovery portion of the phone.

Following this video, I managed to bring TWRP up, wiped the device, then copied the Lineage OS image to the microSD card, as well as Open GApps.

When I try to install the LinageOS (17.1), it looks like it's installing, goes through steps 1 and 2, then a slew of error messages in the log.

I've got the 4 image files I pulled out of one of the LineageOS zip files (Boot, Product, System, VBMeta) in the 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' directory.

I can run 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' from the 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' directory and it succeeds.

When I try to run Product, System or VBMeta in the same way (cmdline = fastboot flash product product.img), all of them fail the Preflash Validation and it comes back with 'FAILED (remote failure)'

Things I'm not sure about

First, I'm pretty sure I'm not in FastbootD. I don't see a big red FASTBOOTD at the top, and according to this thread, means I'm not in it.

I think FASTBOOTD should be something I'm interacting with on the Moto G Power, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get to it.

I feel like I've got to be CLOSE to getting this thing working, but damned if I can seem to cross the finish line.

Help?

Edit: I'm redownloading the image into LMSA since apparently getting one of four images onto a phone stops it from booting successfully and my trying to use LMSA to get the linageOS onto the phone messed up the zip file.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
On my previous phones (ie not this specific phone), the flashable firmware included total wipes. On my pixel 4a, it also has an option when flashing stock, to wipe. Thats specifically the data, but stock firmware should include a flash of all the partitions (with the optional wipe of data). I thoink the manufacturers sede it as a way to return a damaged device (ie a any and all corrupt partitions) to a working device. When I upgrade a device, I am flashing stock over stock, andon some[previous devices, I have done the same downgrading the firmware.ie using ODIN or fastboot and not a custom recovery. Flashing stock normally overwrites the custom recovery, so you may be in a chicken-egg scenario if that was the case.
[General Questions and Answers] IceWing_mk1:
Ok, so, I've solved SOME of the problems I've run into as I tried to reimage...

Now I've got a Moto G Power (2020) where I believe I have successfully loaded the new images (Resurrection Remix), and yet, when I get to the end of the instructions and try to reboot, I just keep ending up at the bootloader (Fastboot Flash Mode, NOT FastBootD, just the normal one with the green droid opened up for repairs)

I've tried going into the following options:

Start - comes right back to the same screen

Restart Bootloader - Same Screen

Recovery mode, and it says 'No Command'

Power Off - goes down, when I power it up, same screen

Bootloader Logs - says "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure) Fastboot Reason: Reboot mode said to fastboot"

I've also tried this with and without a USB cable attached.

How do I smack this thing and get it out of the endless loop it's stuck in? And WHAT did I do to cause this loop?

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I'm feeling that you are missing just the minimal but most essential part of the whole process and to solve it you should have to start from the scratch, completely but doing every of the steps correctly.

I will just put in clear here some of the steps from the RR ROM thread.

- Flash again the stock ROM for your device through LMSA.

- Reboot to system for first time and check if all is fine with the OEM Unlock option starting from the toggle, USB debugging till the fastboot command to be sure if your bootloader is still unlocked (as I think is required)

- Be sure that your stock recovery is there.

- Reboot to bootloader either manually, through adb commands or through the recovery menu.

- Reboot to fastbootd using

fastboot reboot fastboot

(don't forget to use the latest SDK platform that contains the fastbootd binaries)

- Flash one by one the boot, system, product and vbmeta images.

- Wipe the userdata partition with fastboot -w (to can reboot)

- Reboot.

Hi.

I am trying to go about doing this the right way and not seem like someone who its just trying to use someone else's information. That they spent time and effort into figuring out. I have the not so great luck, and is proving to be even worse. considering how much time ive spent looking for the answers to the simple questions. i dont want to be a NOOB. I probably look like one. Searching through forums is not my strong point. I could easily say it is the weakest point that i have, coupled with a learning disorder. o_O and a lot of the guides leave out the details. An assessment was once done with a job that i had saying that I "pay attention to details that do not have anything to do with the problem." I call them rabbit trails.... or a drawing of a tree. the trunk being the Root of the problem. Well I start off good, on the main problem then there is a branch, well im going to obsess of that one branch. because that branch is its own branch..... and its own bark and it has its own branches....... 🤦‍♂️ please, please Some one help me. i feel like Im center stage for thousands of people and no one will say anything. not even a cricket chirping.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
In the RR ROM they stated is needed but not for other ROMs.

Just use the minimal SDK and open the cmd from their directory, let the Android Studio apart.

The procedure that I pointed out previously was for RR, on LOS you´d need to flash TWRP.

Prior to flash anything are you sure that you are setting the right slot?

Set first to the slot A to be sure that you are sending the files to the slot that you will go to boot.

At this point did you try to reboot?

Not sure if fb_mode command is needed here, this could active the FRP lock preventing to boot anyway you´d need to set it previously to target to this partition:

fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot -w
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot

but again not sure if it is needed anyway doesn´t try that without previously try to boot.

If you pay attention what I wrote above then you can´t be jumped from one to another adb/fastboot platform always that you simply do all its thing in the folder where SDK minimal platform is.

You can flash the stock recovery image through fastboot.

Hello!

For some reason, Google stopped syncing Contacts, Calendar, and other services. Today is May 27th, but in Settings > Accounts and backup > Accounts > Google > Sync account it shows that last sync was on May 22nd (please see attached picture).

View attachment 5321787

How do I fix this, so that my account syncs whenever I make a change on either my PC or my phone? Any help is greatly appreciated! BTW, my phone is Samsung Galaxy S9, android v10.

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I guess you didn't update something on these apps? my last Calendar syncing was on 20th may so I didn't put anything new but my last Contacts was right today when I did some changes on the Contact names/info. Google wakes up when something new is introduced in the apps they use to sync.

Check adding some contact and see the syncing report in Google, if nothing new appeared but your new contact is there then Google did its work but just the report failed.

Xianomi Redmi Note 8 PRO: Extremely unstable mobile after ROM-update failure

Hello!

I rooted my Xianomi Redmi Note 8 PRO with Magisk. I also installed the Pixel Experience ROM without a problem. Afterward, it worked really well without any stability issues. Then a new version of Pixel Experience ROM was released and I decided to update the ROM. But I must have done something wrong, despite reading the instructions. Afterward, the phone started to reboot randomly, which disturbed me greatly. Because of this, I flashed the Stockrom hoping that would repair the stability issues. But then it turned worse...

Now the phone crashes repeatedly and often! During the install, the phone crashed even before I could enter the WIFI password. But I managed finally to finish the setup after multiple crashes. Since then I have tried to repair my phone in all ways I can come up with.

1. I have installed TWRP. Wiped everything: Cache, Dalvik, System, Data, Internal storage.

2. Have also repaired the filesystem in all partitions where it's possible.

3. Installed Pixel Experience again

4. Tried to root the phone again with Magis v23, which I failed:

"Failed to mount 'system_root' (Device or resource busy)

"Failed to mount 'vendor' (Device or resource busy).

Right now, Pixel Experience ROM is installed. Now the phone crashes during the "The Phone is prepared... This can take a couple of minutes". It seems that it doesn't matter which steps I take to solve this. In this state, the phone is not better than a hard-bricked one.

Can anything be done to solve this mess?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The better flashing process to solve the first part is through EDL and not through fastboot (in case you used this mode), be careful to not relock bootloader and always use too the option to format data in MiFlash tool.

Once you flashed OK, reboot for first time to system and set it up USB debugging and OEM unlock options.

Then flash the PE ROM or any other, reboot for first time to system without flashing Magisk, install the apk and patch the boot image from the same ROM you are and flash it through fastboot.

Be careful to not do weird things like fix file system through TWRP; RN8P had a very special preloader that can be tripped easily.
[General Questions and Answers] dim4x4:
I did. I added 3 new contacts on my PC, and one new contact on the phone. I also added new events to the Calendar on my PC. Nothing was synced :(
[General Questions and Answers] funkybluemonkey3:
Does anybody have a suggestion of how to spoof a Wi-Fi MAC address and have it stay persistent across service interruptions in Android 11? MAC address randomization seems to have broken this. Using ip link or ifconfig in the terminal does change the MAC address, but only for a moment. As Wi-Fi disconnects and reconnects from router to router, it resets to the original Mac address, therefore making me repeat the process over and over.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Try wiping caches either from all the Google apps or completely through the recovery if not wipe data from all the Google apps or format data and restart all from there. Also check your SDCard if it needs some wipes on Google folders.

[General Questions and Answers] Qasher:
I'm trying to intercept an android app traffic using sniffers (like burp, fiddler, charles...). I set up a wifi proxy on a phone to direct traffic to the sniffer, but traffic is bypassing wifi proxy. THe app even works if a sniffer is not running, while other apps cannot connect to the network. Any ideas how can I intercept this traffic?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Do you want the actual network traffic,or the list of hosts?

In the AdAway thread, they previously used a script (its now built into the app). I am not sure, but that one *may* of provided access to the data as well. If you are really getting desperate, if you go through your WiFI, you wold probably have better luck (as in apps that do it) at seeing the packets on the desktop PC. However, it ifs using HTTPS, then the packets will be encrypted.
[General Questions and Answers] Qasher:
Ok. I'll try to explain in more detail:

I need to intercept requests from android app. To do this I'm directing the traffic to sniffer, burp for example, by setting wifi proxy on memu android emulator to the burp's proxy.

I can see requests from various apps in burp. But there're apps which requests it does not see. Even when I'm shutting down burp they're working correctly, connecting to network. In my opinion, they shouldn't do it 'cause the traffic is going through burp's proxy which is not running. That's why I decided that the traffic is bypassing proxy.

One of this apps is - Triple Chat from lioncomSoft

Actually the main question is how to intercept it's traffic?

Hello there,

I've bricked (stuck in boot loop) my LeEco Le Max2 (runs on a Qualcomm processor) and my desktop pc runs on Linux Mint 19.3. As far as I can see, the linux tools and tutorials for flashing that I found are specific for certain devices/manufacturers or they were posted in device-specific forums. Many threads are years old, some of these tools seem to be abandoned. I also have an old, unused pc with windows vista in my basement.

I assume that there's no easy way to solve this problem with Linux and firing up the old windoze box is my best option?

/edit: Could this explanation be helpful, even though it's for a different device?

Any help is much appreciated! :)

Firstly set brightness to 40-60% for general and gradual better battery life..just a advise

And acc. to BBS

Wifi and sync and google location are the most usage services..

so if u don't use google location then turn it off from settings - location

turn off gps and stop it from settings. or wake lock detector but only once..after every reboot u make.

Turn off wifi when u don't use it..and set the interval time to 180

turn off auto sync if not used or at aparticular times.. as the apps like facebook etc. prompts before syncing

Do these and see that it helps or not..
