[P3600 General] Tricky547:
I've tried all the radio ROMs there, it says the ROM is invalid when I try to update.

Oh, nevermind that, I found a guide to fix that problem. But how to I play flash content ? I have flash player 7 installed. And can you recommend any GPS software ? :)
[P3600 General] Tompo81:
You have to install a "Hard SPL" before you can install something else as written here . I suggest you Olipro 1.20 (1.30 have some problems with eventual downgrade).

Follow this instructions before installing a new radio...

GPS software? I use Tom Tom... great piece of software...and for free there is NoniGPSPlot, which isn't a really GPS navigation software like Tom Tom, but it's nice...

[P3600 General] Tricky547:
Okay. I've tried to use GPS with Google Maps, but it doesn't find any satellites. However, when I use GPS Info to search to satellites, it does find some. Why is that ? It doesn't find satellites with NoniGPSPlot either.
[P3600 General] Tompo81:
Hi,

you have to wait some minutes for the fix the first time (3-5 min or more). Lie still (is important) in the middle of an open space like a square or somewhere else (and not at home or somewhere under a roof)... The second and successive fixes will be faster (ca: 30s-1min), but stay always still for the fix...

Ciao

Extract boot.img using a few simple adb commands

Hi XDA, I want to educate you on how to extract your boot.img using adb. Since systemless root and kernels all utilize the boot.img, undoing these changes consist of just flashing the boot.img in TWRP!

I pulled this from a RootJunky video and it worked on my pixel xl on any rom

Prerequisites:

You have to use TWRP (img or install, depending on the method)

Locating the boot.img

There are many tools used for this, I just like using the logs of an installer

Flash the TWRP installer and read the logs

It says "found boot image in *path*" (Usually /dev/block/sda19 or sda20)

If you want confirmation, flash magisk and it should say where your boot.img is

Extraction of the boot.img (2 ways)

Without TWRP installed

fastboot boot twrp.img

Open a terminal (on a computer) and type adb shell

your window should have only a ~#

Type this command in

dd if=**boot.img path** of=/sdcard/boot.img

Replace the **boot.img path** with whatever path you found your boot.img in when locating it

This should pull the boot.img to your /sdcard (storage) directory

To transfer to computer, just use your favorite file transfer method!

With TWRP installed

Install TWRP

Reboot to TWRP

Follow the steps listed in the without TWRP installed category

I would like to thank RootJunky for this method, it works flawlessly
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Yeyo117:
There is a method to extract boot.img without TWRP? The tablet that I own doesn't have a any developed custom recovery, is an unsupported low-end device. Thank you for your help.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JhinCuatro:
Very useful guide. No, it's absolutely useless and of no help. THERE IS ZERO NEED TO EXTRACT THE BOOT.IMG IF YOU HAVE ROOT. You NEED THE BOOT.IMG TO ROOT (VIA MAGISK).. If someone has TWRP, just fkn flash magisk right then and there. Rootjunky is useless.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sanras:
Agreed, this is useless. I need the boot.img so that I can patch it with Magisk and then flash onto device. If I have TWRP, I don't need the boot.img.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smallville7123:
i disagree, having the boot image is usefull if you want to modify it
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Androiderz:
Likewise, I have to agree...this primer IS useful as being able to extract a boot.img file from a stock rom is imperative for a lot of users with off-brand or rebranded MTK devices. For instance, I have a Blu G80 and there is virtually no dev support for this device and I would personally like to be able to root from the latest (or any) stock ROM or heck, repartition into the new A/B format to absolve myself of OTA updates forever.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos Atha:
Doogee N30: I do not have root, there is no recovery or rom for my phone, Can I extract the boot.img from my phone storage, to patch it with Magisk? Maybe with adb? Idk, please help me, I'm dying here....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TheArkive:
This should also help:

Just boot into TWRP and run the following:

find /dev/block/platform -type d -name by-name

then use

ls -la /the/path/displayed/from/find

Then make note of your boot partition, so everything after the arrow ( -> ). If you are using a slotted device, it shouldn't matter which boot slot you pull, but it might help to pull the the boot slot you are actually using.

Then, as stated in the OP

dd if=/boot/img/path of=/sdcard/boot.img

Src:

adb find phone partitions

I need the command to find the partition of all Android devices For example, on some Samsung phones, you can use the following command to partition the device adb shell ls -al /dev/block/platform/

stackoverflow.com

I just installed Magisk on my OG Pixel. Using the method above, it took me a matter of minutes. I booted into TWRP to do this in adb with root.

EDIT:

I found a more workable solution, as long as you have the "find" command in TWRP or some other ADB session.

This definitely doesn't work if you don't have root in adb. TWRP or equivalent environment is required. If you don't have TWRP for you device, then at a minimum you need some way to root the device. Once you get root, then you can startup ADB, type "su" or other SuperUser command, and then run the "dd" command above (the 3rd code block). Without root, the "dd" command will fail - permission denied.

I've tried this on a Nexus 6P and an OG Pixel so far.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gantori:
I have Chinese Android TV Boxes like below links, please which TWRP image should I use?

The TWRP site seems to be all oriented about phone recovery images.

The TV boxes appear to be AMLogic ?CPU?

Is there a tutorial that shows ideally with a phone storage diagram the concept for flash vs. backup vs recovery?

Some say you can boot from an external recovery image with fastboot without writing it on the device?

(video is a bit old from 2015)

My current understanding is the "stock recovery partition" does not offer enough functionality to read/write the various partitions (boot,recovery,system,vendor,???) So is that what TWRP recovcery images provide? It does NOT appear they offer a "generic" recovery image.

If I manage to read these partitions can I edit their filesystem content on the PC? if so with which tool? are they standard .zip/rar/tar/iso files?

Currently I am running adb command over WiFi, these boxes come with 2 USB ports and sdcard slot. Can I use USB-A to USB-A cable to connect this boxes to PC, like the phone junkies do?

I don't have the equivalent of pressing volume/power buttons like on phones to boot into recovery or standard, what's the best way of doing that, fastboot/adb/an app on the tvbox?

These boxes already have su when I enter adb shell, su, whoami >displays> root, so that means they are unlocked.

I am bit lost in all of this, otherwise I won't be here. Thank you so much!!!

I tried to follow the info and steps in a video by rootjunky and apply to a chinese tv box however I am not finding the boot/recovery/system/vendor partitions I ?think? I need to back up in order to flash onto another identical box (ie. replicate the various manual setups I did of app launcher, de-installed stock apps, my apk installs, etc...)

According to the below commands and output could you please let me know what pull commands I need to issue to copy the necessary sections onto my PC, thank you so much.

Here is my current wild guess to achieve my backup and replicate goals.

false. any rom does not have twrp capabilities, like, for example the phone Alcatel 3 2019. You should change the post's title.

In those cases that no twrp is available it is impossible to extract the boot.img afaik.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] the.real.p3y0t3:
I know I'm a little late to the party here, but maybe I can provide some insight into this. For starters, until you can mount /system rw properly, ADB just aint gonna work like you want. I have one of these 905w2 boxes (oppen x88plus..) and have been dealing with this for a minute now. If you at least have wireless adb access, you can:

A) get fastboot access

B) get adb sideload access from stock recovery

..and thats about it. You use the right hand USB port. Interestingly, my win11 chimes when I plug in my box when its booted normally, however nothing appears in device manager or usbdevview.

In closing, why dont you just DD the partitions to sd\usb storage? IE:

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot_a.img

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cw75:
The tablet is stuck in something like a bootloop; it boots with my chosen background image and will run for about 45-60 seconds before rebooting. I have just enough time to enable developer options and turn on USB debugging. When it reboots, USB debugging is OFF and developer options are disabled.

I've attempted to Factory Reset, but it sticks on the Clearing Cache/Data screen for days without completing.

I've used fastboot to unlock the bootloader and flashed stock version 5.1.1 (LMY49J) straight from Google. This appears to work (completes without errors in windows powershell or bootloader screen) except when it reboots into bootloader, it has to be unlocked again. After flashing, all of the user data (i.e. background image, apps, etc.) is still in tact. I've also used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.9 with the same result. No custom ROM's have ever been used.

I have found some mention of formatting a partition, but no specific instructions.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Your memory has gone bad... :( I've had this exact thing happen to my Nexus 7. If you boot into recovery, and terminal in, you can recover any files. If you cange anything, you will find out much if not all of your system is now read only. Everything you change is going to cache. As soon as you reboot, they changes are lost. If this describes your system, you need either a new motherboard or a new tablet. Sorry.

Are you running it on the 5GHz side or the 2.4GHz side of your router. Xfinity at times installs the service with showing just one access point. This tablet is capable of connecting on the 5GHz band.

Doe anyone have a tutorial on how I can roll the Elate back to Lollipop? I have unlocked it with fasboot but thats as far as I got...any help would be really appreciated, dont know where else to look.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
If you just unlocked the bootloader, then the phone should still have stock Nougat, so there's nothing to roll back to. And this phone never had Lollipop - not sure where that idea came from. :confused:
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
Could I ask,why move back to lollipop..? I can understand aversion to change, but not much has changed from nougat to lollipop that's not arguably much better. App permissions are quite a bit tightened up, which can break old crappy apps.. For example, airplane mode and other radio settings can no longer be changed by any app, and requires root permissions past kitkat. It's slightly more annoying for me to set up automated tasks to change those settings, but I'd much rather go through that hassle than leave all settings unprotected..

Fwiw, I wouldn't get your hopes up.. 18 months after the first ascend was released, we still have not received the proper source files to create custom roms, and it's becoming increasingly less likely we ever will. In your case, these files would need to be available and there would need to be a developer willing to compile lollipop, a version many years outdated, when most will be attempting to port oreo and newer versions.

Perhaps if we knew why you need lollipop,we could help with a workaround, though likely you won't have much luck until someone gets twrp working..
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] vrdubb02:
Essentially this is to be a dedicated device for flying a DJI Phantom drone and their app is more stable on lollipop whisch is why I wanted to change it. I have been doing some research but coming up short so either I just use it as is or if it gets bad I'll just get a used more popular device. Thank you for be feedback.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
If you need real-time control of something, I don't know if I could recommend this device. With a few governor tweaks this phone can be pretty zippy, but emui is about as janky as oem roms work.

If you want a dedicated device that you aren't planning on bloating up.. look around for a used galaxy s4 or s5, or an s3 even (any older phone with a snapdragon 800 series, really). They can be had for pretty dang cheap, and a 4-5 year old flagship will prove much faster than even a brand new low end device - especially if you are looking for something with lollipop.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] RandomZero:
I've had my S7 (SM-G930W8) since Jan of last year so it's just passed the warranty period and my battery lasts less than 6-7 hours. It'll literally drop from 50-60% down to 5% in 10 minutes. I'll literally have it in my pocket, take it out to check the time or something and it'll be at 50%, then a few minutes later check it again and it's down to 5%.

I don't keep it plugged in after its finished charging, I use the original charger with a new USB cable. I close apps after I'm done using them. I keep Bluetooth/Nfc off and use only 4G.

I'm pretty sure the battery is dying but on the off chance it's not I thought I'd post here to see if there's some other solution. A couple weeks ago I even let the battery discharge a couple times until it shut off and turned it back on after it hit 100%

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] RandomZero:
Yes as I stated in the original post, I let my phone discharge until it shut itself off and then charged it to 100%, which is how you recalibrate the battery. This has had no effect and the battery will still drop in a very short time.

I also have a cracked screen so replacing the battery would be a difficult task to accomplish without further cracking the screen. Not to mention those $15 batteries on eBay or even Amazon are likely knockoffs and will cause even more problems.
