[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Lonoshea:
Hello dev's! Unfortunately, in January, my brother passed away, and I have been tasked with trying to get into his phone and recover any important images really to pass along to his wife and daughter. Needless to say, I don't know his PIN code - and I am down to 2 guesses before the phone is wiped. So here I am.

Pardon my lack of technical language here but my brother did install Team Win Recovery Project 3.1.1-0 so I have been able to get to "recovery mode". Unfortunately, his partition is encrypted and I have been unable to guess that password either.

Because his drive is encrypted, I can't get into /data to remove any .key files. I have successfully been able to figure out how to sideload zip files via ADB that are supposed to bypass the PIN screen but I have had no luck. The google "find my phone" method is not working probably because the phone isn't connecting to a network.

I have read through an alpha security post about a malicious charger hack but I don't see where to download that tool.

So - does anyone know of any possible application or ZIP file I can sideload that will either help remove the decryption password or completely and successfully bypass the PIN?

Can I update TWRP to a newer version in hopes that the encryption is removed?

Any help is appreciated!

FWIW, my brother was on these forms as Colomonster - and I know that he loved tinkering with his phone daily.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] catsruul:
There's no efficient way of breaking the data partition if it's encrypted, sorry.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cpt.macp:
Any old version of twrp might do the trick and then in /data/system folder delete these files ( if they are there )

password.key

pattern.key

locksettings.db

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db-wal

[MENTION=7510829]catsruul[/MENTION] I figured this would be the case but it does look like I get inifinite guesses, so there’s always that :)

[MENTION=5376694]cpt.macp[/MENTION] thanks for this tip! Can I downgrade via sideloading? I’ll have to look up a tutorial.. thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ZVNexus:
You said any important photos correct?

https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/6357590?hl=en

I assume that your brother used Google Photos and any photos he took were most likely backed up to that. You can talk to Google about retrieving said data, you will need to prove things of course though. You will need to get a court order issued, that is if it is even approved, and everything else required should be on that page. Best of luck! Sorry to say but if the /data is encrypted you are pretty much screwed, although TWRP should decrypt in when it enters recovery so idk. That webpage is your best shot imo.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Lonoshea:
thanks [MENTION=7299508]ZVNexus[/MENTION] for the tip. I do have access to his Google account but because my brother was a super sleuth, he didn't have his images automatically upload to his photo drive. the photos that are there are few and from 2015 :(

With access to his account, I do see his "activity", which I am not even sure he knew was being tracked (oh Google!) and I see that he used things like

Used com.android.gallery3d

and

Used org.cyanogenmod.snap

both of which look like photo apps.

you mentioned that TWRP should decrypt when I enter recovery.. what do you mean by that? if it is encrypted then it should always ask for a password right?

I wonder if this app is available anywhere for download and use.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ZVNexus:
I meant that even if the chip was encrypted TWRP should have let you touch the data partition. My phone is also encrypted but TWRP allows me to touch those partitions. Strange. Hopefully others can help.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Curunir:
I'm confused: if the partition is encrypted, you will generally be asked for a password during the boot process. If you're unable to enter the correct password (which AFAIK has unlimited tries), the phone simply won't boot. So you will never arrive at the lockscreen where you're supposed to enter the PIN (which offers a number of tries before wiping). With an encrypted partition, entering the recovery will prompt you for the same password you're supposed to enter during the boot process. Again, unlimited tries. As long as you're unable to do that the partitions will be 'invisible'. You can still wipe/partition them and that will remove the encryption as well as all of your data. But it seems the device you're working on works differently?

Either way: in order to gain access, you will need to either know the PIN directly (if the phone boots without a boot password) or gain access to the encrypted partition through TWRP, allowing you to remove the files responsible for the PIN lock. I'm sorry for your loss, but if it would work in any other way it simply wouldn't be secure for any Android user out there who is using encryption. Even google shouldn't be able to decrypt the phone, though it's theoretically possible they do have some kind of backdoor.

At this point, your best bet is probably trying to brute force the partition password. That would probably take a very long time, but I'm sure there's tools and organizations specializing in that sort of work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Verolive:
Hello everyone.

Well, as stated in the title I really had a week of ****. It started with the theft of my Samsung S7 edge.I am really disgusted :mad::mad::mad:

As I really like this phone and the price is interesting now and having a TWRP backup on a USB key I've bought another S7 edge thinking that I could easily reinstall my backup TWRP of my missing phone with all my very valuable data and programs. Unfortunately for now it's total failure. I could actually reinstall my backup but impossible to enter into the phone. I had put after the boot the security by fingerprint plus pin code for the phone and neither function. I am absolutely sure of my pin code, I always use the same but the phone answers me incorrect pin and my fingerprints are not recognized. :crying::crying::crying: I mean that the phone for the first reboot does not accept the fingerprint asks me the code and does not accept it. I tried to flash fingerprint wakeup to be able to use the fingerprint after the first boot but it is even worse the phone say that the fingerprint does not work and that I have to try again later. :confused: I specify that I tried the fingerprint with the phone I bought used before installing my backup and that it works properly. In your opinion, is there a way out of this inextricable situation? Is it possible to bypass the fingerprint? Or another solution to recover my data and my programs? Thank you to those who will take the time to read me and to those who will answer me if there are any :fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hq15955657:
guys, today I got one N950U with the FRP lock,

so I was flashed the phone to the combo, after flashed:

-the google play stopped kept popping up and the phone kept vibrating

-phone kind of stuck every 4 seconds

-no developer mode

-unknown baseband, so do the IMEI unknown

this is the screen shot: https://imgur.com/a/L8gk0

so I flashed the CSC file, miracle happened, everything is back to normal, (IMEI, baseband, and developer mode,)

but I found out the carrier was changed by last user, in the download mode the carrier is XAA, but it showed Verizon,

So I tried to set the carrier to XAA with the CSC file just installed,

then, I started to hate myself, the phone can't boot to normal, (flashed stock rom and combo factory )just kept boot to upload mode,

this is the screen shot: https://imgur.com/a/Sxs4q

guys, Please help, what should I do to bring it back?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hq15955657:
Thank you for the reply, I read few posts by you, those were fantastic,

I just flashed the N950U stock rom to the XAA origin phone, the csc file, I even flashed to the XAA with the N950U,

I should look for the original firmware ware,

since the S8 S8+ NOTE8 of the USA changed the model name all to the U,U1, it's kind of new to me compare to older model like s6 and s7

must learn more and keep the mind fresh.

Thank you,

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
So the first pic...when you flash Factory Binary, combo file, ensure you are doing a factory reset, Volume Up, Bixby, Power...

Then Flash the XAC HOME_CSC that corresponds with the version you are flashing...(ie...BQJB, BQK2) then follow guide...

So the second pic...it shows XAA for the original device...this never changes...it went to upload mode because something went wrong...Try again...

So flash Factory Binary and follow guide completely...using XAC HOME_CSC that corresponds with the version you are flashing....then after guide complete...flash your intended carrier firmware

Ok so I'm just wondering if there's a way to change this. When I pull down the notification tab the whole screen goes black. Is there a way to change that? Also when I use Pandora or Spotify the music controls don't work, in the notification tab or the lock screen, but the built in music plays works. Is there a setting I'm missing or something else going on?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] trixter127:
One solution for the black screen is to wait for EMUI 8.0 as it's currently in beta.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] kingd421:
No I'm ok with the notification tab being black when it's pull down. It's the rest of the screen that goes black too. Or is that just what emui 5.1 does anyway.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] trixter127:
It's not the notification tab I'm talking about its rest of screen . In EMUI 8 it's semi transparent while on EMUI 5 it's completely black you can check the screenshot [IMG="Notifications"]https://i.imgur.com/Pm8NDVh.jpg[/IMG]

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ragesh77:
How do I manually update through OTA my honor 8 after rooting?I dont want to flash full rom.Where does the downloaded update will be saved?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] NatusVincere:
You can't really "manually" update your Honor 8 the way you mean it. You can't just flash the downloaded content from TWRP.

Anyway I'll guide you on how to update without full ROM reflash. You WILL need recovery image and you can try without stock boot image. Installing update with rooted device(modified boot image) is reported to not work for some people but for me it does work with no issues. If you make a full backup you also won't run into any problems.

So to update your device find stock recovery img of your current ROM version. I recommend extracting it from UPDATE.zip which you can download with Huawei extractor. You flash the stock recovery from fastboot. I will assume you know how to get to fastboot since you already are rooted and have unlocked bootloader which is OK and won't give us problems.

After flashing stock recovery proceed with OTA normally as if you did not modify your device in any way.

BUT YOU have to select full system image download. Not partial small 200-300 mb update. You have to select full 2GB system image.

If you run into an error and it refuses to update you will need to find stock boot image from the previously mentioned UPDATE.zip. So flash both stock recovery and stock boot, then proceed with normal OTA update same as said above with full system image.

By doing the above you will not lose your DATA partition. You will not lose your apps. You WILL lose root access. All you need to do to regain root access it is to first reflash TWRP via fastboot and then reflash Magisk/SuperSU/(your root alternative). Before reflashing TWRP I recommend making stock recovery backup so you won't need to extract it again from UPDATE.zip for the future OTA updates.

If you have any questions or I was not clear on something please ask for further guidance. Do not forget to make a full backup before the process. You can not hard brick your device with anything I wrote here but you can lose your data if you have no backup.

[General Questions and Answers] UglyStuff:
Hi everyone,

I've downloaded the latest ROM at Needrom for my Leagoo T5c, and once on my PC running Windows 10, I've used 7-Zip to decompress the archive (.rar format, but I don't have WinRar,

nor do I intend to install/buy it

).

The file size 7-Zip gave me for the .pac file upon decompression doesn't match the file size before it was compressed, and I think it's a conversion issue between base-10 format and base-2 format, but I can't for the life of me find a way to flash my device with this ROM: SPD Update Tool won't allow it, because it's reading the wrong size, and thinks the file is corrupted (I won't bore you with the pidgin English in the dialog box...).

Here are two screenshots of the whole affair. As you can see, the file shows two different sizes, before and after decompression:

Because Windows hides known file extensions by default.

So you essentially had it named 2PS6IMG.zip.zip

Removing the visible zip, left it with just the hidden file extension instead of it being duplicated.
