Don't worry ;)

I'm trying to make a full backup of a device with "Marshmallow", it's for another device with "Nougat" installed (which is broken with the DRM problem). I'm trying to clone the device with Android TV 6.0, to see if I can fix the device with "Nougat"

My device has Marshmallow :(
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Dave Deluria:
I wanted to do the same thing as well but you can NOT take a Mi Box with 6.0 and backup the DRM because the latest version is locked.

What you can try to do is revert the version 6.0 firmware to 0964 (the first version when the box was first sold). Then turn the wifi off so it doesn't auto update and attempt to backup the DRM using adb "dd" as per the instructions here.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ma_c:
I try to do that, but I get the following error:

Can't install this package (Thu May 26 09:52:02 CST 2016) over newer build (Wed Jul 19 13:53:30 CST 2017

E:Error in /udisk/update.zip

(Status 7)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Dave Deluria:
Well then your only recourse is taking your working Marshmallow Mi Box with intact DRM and UPGRADE IT TO NOUGAT Beta, then try to downgrade it. This means you will be able to make a copy of the bootloader with DRM intact and try to graft it on your second Mi Box with broken DRM.

Personally I would NOT take that risk. You can end up with 2 broken or crippled Mi Boxes. Just accept the loss of the DRM on your Mi Box and charge it to experience.

Thanks, I fallowed the instructions from the original forum and it works perfectly, unfortunately the instructions are in Russian and translation doesn't work very well. I am running the original firmware and I will check the difference from last beta and last OTA.

I updated my MiBox to 7.0 1056. How do I downgrade back to 6.0.1?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerrymcalister2000:
mibox 3

is there something i am missing in the guide here to revert back to marshmellow from nougat? i can log into the mibox 3 using adb and can do a factory reset,but,it will not let me pull the file from the box or write anything to the box. i have attempted all the ways show in the guide/instructions and still no joy. i am currently using nougat 1028 on the box and i am not happy with the quality/performance of the box. I also realize that i will/could lose netflix and google tv,but,i don't use them anyway.

i finally got back to mm6.0 last night and everything seems so much faster with the mibox3 again. thanks to all here and the instructions
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] borijess:
Can u pls tell me how u rolled back to MM?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerrymcalister2000:
after reading for days and trying everything else,i found where some used a file explorer to transfer rom3s.img to storage/emulator/0/ on the mibox ( while still on nougat 1028. ) i then followed the instructions in this topic, downloaded once_1304 renamed it to update.zip,installed it on usb stick and proceeded to install from ext. after reboot i had marshmallow back. i cannot say if netflix works as i do not have a netflix account. just for the difference in speed for the box loading up and youtube working flawlessly,i was willing to make some concessions. i can't say this works for ( will work ) for everyone else,i decided what i wanted out of my box and took the chance
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] borijess:
I can't get my win 10 PC to see the MiBox. Anyone have any tips?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Dave Deluria:
Make sure you're on build 1028 not the latest one.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] borijess:
I am on build 1028. When trying to install drivers are you in recovery mode or do u let box bootup? Also when plugging in my Mibox I dont get any notification that some has been plugged in.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigtalker:
What are you trying to accomplish?

build 1028 is an userdebug build and supports adb (and adb root) via wifi., sans drivers

You need to adjust the usb debug settings in developer mode. Sorry, my memory fails me but the choices are on/off.

When u plugged ur mibox to the PC. Does it recognize the box before you update as the the drivers?

On 1028, adb over wifi is supported

adb connect (ip addy of mibox)

I have moved up to a HTC U11 from a Nexus 6p. I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp. Installed venom rom with SuperSU, flashed elemental kernal, and busybox. I can't get viper4 arise to work at all. Once I install it I get prompted to install the driver then reboot. Once I reboot I get prompted to do the same again. I tried the magisk version as well same result.

Has anyone got this working on the U11?

Hiya! I was wondering what kind of cam apps have you been using. I'm currently on resurrection remix 5.8.4 and its brilliant! It works amazingly! But ofcourse its difficult to replace the default sony camera app. So I was wondering what substitute does everyone use one way or another?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Themes and Apps] BaraaModallal:
How's your battery life with that ROM? how many SOTs are you getting on a casual internet/facebook use?

Also, i recommend Xnext camera, you could find a flashable zip here somewhere.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Themes and Apps] avid_reader:
Its been awesome! Its faster and really more bearable in comparison to stock. I used the LXT 1.5 Link

and thermal fix FSC Link

I still havent really observed my sot yet from the battery it self ill update you tomorrow but definitely faster charging with just a 2amp output charger. But drainage in idle is like 1% per hour i noticed when i wake up. And the temperature has been average it still gets warm but not as hot as it used to even while playing games like sao or khu. And thanks for the cam app! ^_^

Hello everyone

First excuse me because I am a little bad in English

But there is a problem that has tired me a lot and tired in trying to find a solution to it in vain

The problem is in knowing the names of the mobile sectors such as modem, modest 1, modemst2, carrier and other sectors

.....

I tried many of the following attempts

1

By order ls like

adb shell

$ su

# cd /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/by-name/

# ls

But unfortunately this message appears

sh: cd: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/by-name: No such file or directory

2

Read file (mount)

Located in the folder (proc)

I got some names on it but the names were not required

3

Read file (last_log)

Located in the path (cache / recovery /)

I also got some but did not get the names of the required sectors such as modem and modemst 1.2

..............

Please help me because I need this solution for the dev / zero process :rolleyes:

I put my problem on more than one programmer and most of the site but I could not find a solution:(:(

I hope you get a solution to my problem and thank you
[General Questions and Answers] mohhaxs:
First question is... where are you getting msm_sdcc.2 from? When you go into adb shell, cd into /dev/block/platform. Hit tab twice (or do ls to cd into the directory manually) and you will then be at the directory where it says a bunch of items such as mmcXXXX. cd to by-name and do an ls -l. You will see all the names of the partitions.

For the second question, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to mount partition?

For your third question, modemst1 and modemst2 along with modem are located in /dev/block/platform/XXXX/XXXX/by-name/ .

Also, what are you trying to do with the dd if=/dev/zero command? You do realize that command adds zeros to the file, making it completely unusable and filling up the phone max size. Say for example if you had a text file as 123. If you do dd if=/dev/zero of=file.txt, it would replace the file with zeros until disk space is maxed out, unless you specify a bite size and count.

Hi,

I have a problem with my A5 2017 running official nougat with magisk. I can use my fingerprint to unlock my phone easily, however when I try using my PIN/model, when I enter the right code, it just freezes until screen goes off. This was a real problem when I had to restart my phone, and it was asking me my model and I could drax it but then the screen would freeze until it went black and it was still asking me my model, and freeze etc. So i erased data/cache, but I still have that problem.

G'Day All,

Just a query re gps and the S5.

My wife and I both have S5 phones.. mine is the G900P and hers is the G900I

We are here in Australia.. and yes I know the G900P is not designed for Australia but it is working at the moment so I'll keep using it until I can afford a new phone.

My query is..

I sit our two phones side by side in the open.. turn the GPS on.. and then use GPS Status and Toolbox on both phones..

hers get a lock within 10-15 seconds.. with an accuracy of 3M and it can generally see 30 satellites.

Mine on the other hand can sometimes take up to 10 minutes to get a lock and the most satellites I have seen it locate in 16.

Could this be because of the different model??

I've done the GPS Fix S5 that everyone suggests and there is no difference.

I'm leaning towards a hardware issue.. but am just curious as to what others think.

Cheers

Nich
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco1x:
I saw many phones GPS with weak signal or no signal at all... and i most cases i would say 90% even 95% of chance is a hardware failure issue. I manage to fix many LG G2 and G5 with GPS problems but for now i did not have the chance to get a S5 with GPS problem, in the case of LG phones i fix it by using a bare cable and making more contact between the GPS antenna and the chasis GPS contact.

Probably the S5 could be fix by locating the GPS antenna and the chassis contact, i tried to locate the GPS module in the S5 but no luck for now, if you can pin point the exact location of the GPS antenna you can try the same procedure i mention above.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtozte730564:
Is there any plan for standalone use of Maps on GPS equipped smartwatches? Tried asking this over at Google Community but their forum doesn't work -- any new question gets an error message and won't post, so I'm hoping to find some help here.

According to Android Pit, “It’s easy to get turn-by-turn directions on your Android Wear smartwatch. Plus, with Android Wear 2.0, you can do it without being connected to your smartphone if your smartwatch has GPS built-in.”

Even a Google Support article regarding AW 2.0 seems to indicate this is possible, just by downloading and using Google Maps on your AW 2.0 device.

My device, the ZTE Quartz, has been reviewed as allowing for stand alone navigation. It has GPS, a SIM card, runs on a 3G network, and has GPS. It even has a menu option for Location of using “Device Only” for GPS. Yet, I can’t use Google Maps without use of my phone.

Wasn’t this supposed to be part of AW 2.0, using maps with the wearable only? It seems there is definitely a sense that it should be possible, as I've indicated above . I keep coming across references to it being possible, but also feedback that it is not possible in real life.

I see Huawei 2 customers are also frustrated, having understood that they could use the watch only for navigation, and yet it does not work, according to threads I've come across, while trying to research this.

The ZTE Quartz Community suggests it is a Google Maps problem that maybe will be fixed in the future? The thought seems to be that AW 2.0 should be capable of it, but the Maps app is at fault.

Any plans to address this? Or will navigation always require use of both the watch and the phone? This greatly reduces the independent use of the watch, obviously, which seemed to be the point of AW 2.0, to address such.

Any thoughts? Is anyone on AW 2.0, with a GPS enabled watch, able to use navigation without a phone?
