I tried to use link2sd but it didnt work. Device is rooted.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Kailash Choudhary:
I'm not able to create backup of Stock ROM through TWRP. The error says "Failed to mount /system". While in the Mount menu, the "system" is unmounted by default. When I select "Mount system partition read only" option, I'm able to mount it. And the size of the system is shown abnormally large(check SS).

Any solution for this? And can anyone explain what that "Mount system partition read only" option meant for? Will there be any risk if I create backup keeping mount system partition read only?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
I am betting your device is encrypted. If that is the case backups will not work.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Kailash Choudhary:
It's not encrypted. I always remove all the passwords before creating a nandroid backup.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Removing passwords doesnt encrypt the device. That happens on the very first boot. unecrypting the device wipes it.

To be honest I wouldnt worry about it too much. Even when backed up stock roms dont like to be restored and people that do normally just end up flashing the stock os due to the issues that popup.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Kailash Choudhary:
Do you mean removing passwords do not decrypt the device?

Do you know what that option "Mount system partition read only" is meant for? What changes will it make to my backup when I restore it in future.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Yes that is exactly what I mean. That just means That the system is read only. It cant be modified. Too be honest I gave up on backing up my device years ago due to restores never going well and having to reflash full stock anyway
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Kailash Choudhary:
So now you've to flash stock ROM and start as a fresh device everytime when you want to revert back?

Actually this issue wasn't there before zlendel. I've created a backup 1½ month ago. Then I've flashed a custom ROM, didn't liked it so I restored the backup. Since then, I haven't did any modifications to the device.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
I always flash a pure clean flash. Mostly because dirty flashing always causes issues.

What rom did you flash? Not all roms are made some same.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Kailash Choudhary:
zelendel I'm on OOS 4.1.6, trying to create it's backup. I wanted to flash Paranoid Android after creating the backup.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
At this point I am not sure. I dont use either and never have. If I recall right You will have to change the file system to ext4 for PA which will wipe your device. I could be wrong.

I would ask in the OOS thread.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] null0seven:
I do a clean install everytime. At any rom. Never have any problems, conflicts.

I notice problems with restoring twrp backup, made, like 2 hours ago..
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dugi9991:
It's not mandatory to change the file system to ext4 for AOSPA, but it works better rather than on f2fs and they aren't supporting possible problems on f2fs.

Also, If you're going to flash AOSPA, I suggest a clean flash to avoid possible problems with battery drain or other bugs that have been reported in that thread.

Cheers!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Kailash Choudhary:
Yeah, I did a clean flash. IDK which file system it is. Battery life has improved a bit and no heating issues. Gaming performance have improved a lot.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
what version of TWRP are u using? having complete Stock OS should not cause issues, i have never decrypted my device and no issues backing up, also u may not want to back up every single thing, try doing it without the System Image, i would just back up System, Data, and Boot, maybe EFS too but i don't
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rk2612:
Suggests that there is an error in the /system partition. Have you modified the system partition? If not, you don't really need a back up of it.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] andMego:

[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartik verma:

After you came here and cluttered the forum with a crap load of pointless threads and posts? I love it! Thanks.

so my posts are useless. sorry if my posts aren't fit into your expectation.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] andMego:
Personally I'm very thankful for this post, as I couldn't figure out how to do it myself. I was able to reflash stock and lock the bootloader but it wouldn't boot since it always said it was modified, so I just returned my previous e4 with the bootloader unlocked and the noverify thing flashed.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] KyleBryant:
my phone refuses to verify boot.img
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartik verma:
will it asks for boot.sig or anything else. let me know :confused:
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] KyleBryant:
I figured it out
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] andMego:
How?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] KyleBryant:
Motorola doesn't release verified boot images. The reason it wouldn't boot for me is because I forgot to flash the no verity file lol
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] andMego:
How do I lock the bootloader and get it to verify the boot image?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] KyleBryant:
No idea
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartik verma:
fastboot oem lock (relock the bootloader)

their is nothing to do with boot image. verification is for system if you changed something and didn't disable verity " MOUNT FLAG /system ro wait,verify" your device ain't gonna boot into system.

dm-verity can be disabled by two ways either remove "verify" or change the default.prop values "ro.secure=0".
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] andMego:
Before I returned my other e4 I flashed the stock images with rsdlite and then did fastboot oem lock but then the phone wouldn't boot since it said it was modified so I had to unlock the bootloader again and flash the noverify thing in TWRP. How should I have done it to be able to return the phone with the bootloader locked?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartik verma:
" it said it was modified"

First of all remove all the changes you have done in system else if you don't know where you have done changes wipe system partition and reflash system image in system partition.

don't flash gpt.img, pgpt.img, bootloader.img in fastboot mode also do not erase data in fastboot mode "fastboot erase userdata". your device must be charged upto 80% if you want your device boot after a clean flash.

as i am also facing over discharged problem.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] drganbds:
Kartik dude tell me if this is possible....

To roll back I flash unmodified stock boot image and flash stock recovery through fastboot - reboot system - reset -relock bootloader.....can I able to do this?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartik verma:
follow this method :

erase partitions only if you have factory images

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase boot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

erase system if you done changes in system partition. if not leave this step

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system system.img
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] drganbds:
Excellent then do me a favour buddy I need stock recovery and unmodified boot images of Moto e4 mediatek variant.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartik verma:
i will upload official factory images when i get free time :rolleyes:
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmillard:
What stock images are people using for this guide? Ones they backed up themselves or from this list?

Further, the stock firmware in that list doesn't seem to differentiate between variants (Mediatek & Qualcomm). Are the firmwares that have "XT1768_CFC" in the title for Qualcomm and firmwares with "DEFAULT_CFC" for Mediatek? Any insight is appreciated. I suppose it could be as simple as Canada vs. non-Canada - in that case does the variant matter for those downloads?

Also, those firmware downloads (at least the one I downloaded) only contain these .img files:

oem.img

recovery.img

boot.img

bootloader.img

system.img_sparsechunk.2

system.img_sparsechunk.1

system.img_sparsechunk.0

system.img_sparsechunk.3

system.img_sparsechunk.5

system.img_sparsechunk.4

(There are some other binary files, xml, and a few things.)

Am I thinking about this wrong? Any insight is appreciated.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartik verma:
At this time Lenovo does not provide the official factory images both for mediatek variant and qualcomm variant. So any firmware file you see over the internet extracted by someone else not really a company uploaded firmware. The binary files, xml and others are RSDlite flashable. But i am not going through this RSDlite tool process. I have uploaded a simple step by step guide in which you have to extract whole firmware in scatter format the files are usually in *.bin format just rename them to *.img and ready for flashing through Fastboot not sp flash tool.

There are about 15 to 20 firmware files, check OP for more information oem.img, recovery.img, boot.img, bootloader.img, system.img are few of them.

My method on reverting to stock rom is simple and safe. you have to erase first and than install. do not flash preloader and pgpr or gpt files check first post.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmillard:
I had read OP a few times, this description helped me understand a lot. This is much appreciated, thanks!

One last question: OP makes it sound like the unlock warning (below) cannot be removed, even with your method. Is that correct? Is this just an efuse for the warranty? Forgive the noob question - I just bought this phone and I'm trying to understand all its aspects as far as rooting/modding before I start flashing stuff.

>> device unlocked (we cannot remove this warning !)
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartik verma:
I don't have my device at this time. i accidently removes the partition table along with this i also erase userdata and facing over discharge problem. For resolving this problem i sent my Moto E4 to the service center. so when i get my device i will try to solve this problem. looks like OEM partition problem not the efuse one in case of warranty and device unlocked warning.

The androidfilehost link you have pasted in previous post contain qualcomm variant firmware only, look at the build type "PERRY". perry is for qualcomm and for mediatek it's "WOODS".

So i accidentally dropped my phone this week and it decided to crack and become unresponsive.

I downloaded Android studio but I'm not that savvy on how to use it to remove the pattern lock. Can anyone help me with unlocking my old S8 so I can at least try to remove my old data to my new phone some how. Mind you I can't even enable USB debugging since the screen isn't responsive. I just want to get my pictures and contacts off that phone before returning it. PLEASE HELP!! FYI.. I can follow instructions if it's code/script related.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gramzz:
Hello

I’m using always latest ver. of Phantom kernel on Phronesis rom.

I have big problems with lags almost all time during use phone. I think that one of source this problem is low level of ram.

So I changed LMK to very aggressive mode. After this change is better but not perfect. On default LMK I have amazing lags. I couldn’t normally use phone. After change LMK to aggressive mode I have +/-320-350 free ram.

I tried do full wipe include Internal memory and flash clean rom. This help only on the beginning. After few days again it’s the same.

Phone’s lagging. During unlock phone, when I open browser, during opening Swiftkey, Message App, Phone App and other apps.

Interesting fact is that my wife on her Note 3 has similar problems. Our phones don’t work smooth like months ago.

I don’t know how to find source of my problems. I don’t have enough dev skills. Could You help me with advices what options in Kernel Adiutor change for example.

I tried change roms and kernels but this helped only for few days.

[General Questions and Answers] divinemyth99:
Only 1 result :laugh:

But without the quotes it returns a lot of results. Basically they all say to use magisk to pass safety net and hide root from snapchat. I've done this and was able to log into snapchat a month ago, but on the same rom I can't login today. Magisk says safetynet passes, I have root disabled in magisk, and did hide root and selected to hide from snapchat. My magisk is fully updated; v13.3.

Ultimately I had to downgrade from Snapchat v 10.15.5.0 which recently released to v10.14.5.0 from Aug 8. It seems the latest Snapchat doesn't login even with magisk.

Another Question:-

Is there any problem for rooting many times as we flash custom roms over again again?

I meant that efs would be lost (imei)

Is there any fi for that also

Please let me know if it safe for efs or not also
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AndroidOmenon:
There is no such thing as a "best rom" I would suggest checking out the relevant custom roms forum for your specific device. Have a read about the roms and users reviews and select one which you think would be the best for you to use.

As for "efs" lost I'm not an expert but I've flashed many devices with cutom roms and never lost my imei, if you are not comfortable with flashing a rom then I suggest sticking to the stock rom, if you do decide to go ahead and flash a rom I suggest making a full backup in recovery custom recovery like "twrp" allow you to backup everything including the efs. I learnt from my mistake of not making a backup thinking everything will be smooth sailing I lost all my sentimental data. Always make a backup.

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] loki008:
I am looking to use an HDMI android stick with a Hudly projector. This device will be turned on by a switch that will provide power to the stick from a 12v power source, then turned off in the same manner.

I am concerned that there is a risk of disk corruption in the event of an OS disk write when power is cut. I was wondering if there are ways to setup an android stick to work around this issue., or if it is even an issue with android? I have been googling and havent found much info on this, probably because most android devices have batteries.

I know when working with raspberry pi in the past it has been suggested to make the SD card read only for the OS and all writes are made to a RAM disk. I was wondering if there is a workflow like this that can be used to reduce the possibility of corruption here. Or maybe its a non-issue with the way android is designed? I am just getting started with this project and honestly don't know.

The android stick I am testing with is an mk808b Plus.

Please let me know if I can add anything to this that would help.
