[Android Head-Units] DonnieMo:
Hello,

I recently purchased a head unit for my 2016 Cruze 1LT, the 2016-2017 models on their website look nothing like my radio, i ended up getting a 2009-2015 model, looks identical.

Set up was flawless, works perfectly. mostly...

A few problems I've run in to:

There is not a way to split screen apps AT ALL.

The status bar is hidden behind the system UI.

A few others, just can't think atm.

Is there a secret menu that may have split screen disabled? if not, is there a way to link spotify to the built in music player?

is there a way to adjust the UI without root? I am able to get the notifications to show by using an app that makes them drop down, but i can not select notification/status bar and swipe down, as it is hidden behind what appears to be an overlay for the system top menu.

I've also noticed BusyBox is in system/bin and su is in system/xbin. Is there a way to fully root knowing this? when loading SuperSU it says su is occupied. running a root checker it says i am not rooted.

I've messaged Phoenix Android Radios about the split screen not being available and notification bar being hidden, but have not heard back yet.

are there any sorts of custom roms being worked on?

If i can get an update.img is there a way to put BusyBox, su, and SuperSU in the correct directories prior to installation, that way the stock rom is prerooted?

thank you,

Donnie
[Android Head-Units] xtantaudio:
DonnieMo, are you still working on this ? I have recently purchased one of the Phoenix Automotive units and I was hoping to be able to make some modifications, but everything requires root access. I have just started looking into root for the unit that I have, so I am hoping that you have some info that would be able to help me.

I have downloade legal music from my operator... GOOD :D

They are in 3gp, m4 files.

After reboot, hard reset, they are locked again. and the phone is unable to unlock them again :(

Even after a full restore.

So, I am wondering where these bloddy licenses are stored or how I can save my files to be sure to have them unlocked even after an hard reset...

Thanks

Hi guys

Recently I got an lg g6 at&t (H871), the problem is that the phone was restaring every time I had a call, so I decided to use the LG UP software to upgrade to the model H873. The thing is that now the sound doesnt work and I want to go back to the original firmare of the H871, but this firmware is not available in the kdz format, I only found it as "full dump". The question is, how can I restore the phone with this "full dump" (there are a lot of .imgs), which software can I use?, is there a tool or something?

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] GhostVanguard:
Howdy everyone, I've been lurking for a bit but much of this stuff goes over my head.

I got hit with that sneaky update at the start of the year that disabled the little trick to get the hotspot to turn on. Now the few times I fire up the ps4, I can't really play anything online. Is there a way to get my hotspot to come back on?

I was thinking of rolling back to an earlier update/ rooting/ or flashing something with Odin (which requires root?) I haven't rooted anything before though I jailbroke an iPhone 3g back in the day. Only thing keeping me from rooting is fear that should I drop this thing my insurance wouldn't replace it. I've spent a good deal of time looking for answers and now I'm throwing in the towel and asking for help. Let me know if anyone needs some more info from me. I'm not as tech savvy as I once was but I know a bit about car and aircraft maintenance if anyone has any questions about that lol.

Thanks in advance

Tldr:I'd like my hotspot to work again, what's the best way to go about it 1)Downgrading to an earlier update,

2)rooting (voids insurance?) Or 3) flash something else with Odin (requires root anyway?)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afrowookie:
Hello all,

I need help with trying to update my friends M8S Goobang Doo from 4.4.2 to Lollipop 5.1.1.

The former build # was M8S.BCM4335.201512011342, now it is M8S.BCM4335.201510131428 because I bricked it and restored it the current build.

The box says M8S but the board inside says"M8 V8_9 20151031. My biggest issue is I cannot seem to find a firmware for this box, I have tried about 6 different ones from different sources to no avail.

I have read a bunch of forums and watched videos all claiming they have the firmware and successfully upgraded their M8S's to 5.1.1 Lollipop. However when I follow their directions and using their firmwares nothing works, it either bricks box or just stalls it.

Can someone please help me with this especially with a proper 5.1.1 firmware.

The method mostly used to update was using the Amlogic BootCardMaker. I have tried once to use the USB Burning Tool method but the I was getting an error loading the image, and seemed like the app wasn't seeing the M8S box.

Please help! Any would be appreciated.

Thanks.

That's just a message warning you that the bootloader is unlocked. It would have disappeared in 5 seconds and booted recovery, so you should have let it continue. Nothing was wrong.

Your battery is probably dead by now due to all that bootlooping. I'd try unlocking the bootloader again, if possible.

[General Questions and Answers] LesRoberts:
I found myself in an interesting situation needing a powered USB port providing 3+ amps per port.

I bought a truck with UConnect 8.4, which supports Android Auto, the USB port that the phone plugs into only outputs .5A, which is not enough to keep my phone from discharging while using google maps/waze through Android auto on my trucks built in screen. So if anyone has a suggestion on a powered hub(either 12v DC or powered via a hard corded 120v plug(truck has a standard house outlet)), I would love to hear about it. Amazon turned up nothing. Also if the cable was USB A, with the hub having a USB C plug that would be a huge plus.

Thank you.

Great guide works perfectly.. has anyone tried to reverse the process and go back to stock to reflash a factory image?

I just tried it on my old Nexus 4, and after resettting the partitions, and reflashing the factory image, its just a permanent bootloop. I've cleared all the cache, tried a wipe from the stock recovery, tried flashing TWRP and wiping there.. nothing seems to work. Im not too worried, but it'd be nice if it could boot again.
[Nexus 4 General] franz.s:
Thanks for your guide. It worked like a charm for my Nexus 4.

Just a small addition: To resize the system partition automatically I placed a script in /system/addon.d:

#
. /tmp/backuptool.functions

case "$1" in

If it doesn't work for you

Thanks for this great guide!

Decided to breath some new life into an old N4 in my family and now it's going (very) strong again with LineageOS 15.1. Still had to clear a bit over 100 MB with .gapps-config from Stock-OpenGapps, but that's no biggie. I always liked to start with the big package and then remove everything that I don't need from it.

Second issue gave me some headaches at first.

"Resize File System" in TWRP apparently worked and Gapps-Install went through (~100 MB free at the end), but boot would fail and crash back to recovery.

(I'm using the daily LOS-nightlies by Milaq and Stock-Package from OpenGapps, maybe it's no problem with other ROMs and/or Gapps-Packages.)

Turns out the fix in TWRP wasn't really working, nevermind what partition size it shows for /system afterwards. It's somehow corrupted and still has the original size -> most of the gapps stuff get's written to nirvana, thus the failing boot.

I found the solution over in the Nexus5-Thread:

at step 4.1 I already changed the partition number to 21 for Nexus4. In the original post it says mmcblk0

p25

, because on the Nexus 5 that's /system.

Now it works.

In theory this procedure should also work for updating the ROM without losing data, but haven't tested it yet. (Maybe throw in a wipe of /system as step 0...?)

To be clear: This isn't the fault of the guide to resize system-partition.

Problem is (at least certain) ROMs resetting size of file system to original and then TWRP failing to fix that doing it the easy way as described in OP (-> bug in TWRP?).

EDIT:

Above procedure also works for an update without data loss. Only difference was I did a normal wipe of /system first, "step 0" so to say.

No idea if all this is still necessary with TWRP 3.2.3-0, I'm not willing to risk a full wipe at this point. ^^

i need this...can't even install the smallest gapps package after oreo.... word!! thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] NotATechnician:
Really wanted to thank-you for this!

Two questions:

1. When you printed the partitions, system (21) was ext2. When you recreated it after resizing, you created it as ext4. Was that intentional?

2. You also made the claim that modern ROMs don't need such a big cache partition (your new one was 37MB, I wasn't so brave). Can you justify that claim or provide some technical details? It's not that I don't believe you (I trusted you enough to do this on my device!), just merely curious as to why/how this would be.

Thanks!

I believe that resize2fs step can be packaged as a flashable zip so we can batch flashing without manual intervention to it (i.e. manually resize fs on system after each rom flash) .
[Nexus 4 General] ze7zez:
Maybe then more users would dare to use this solution and could calmly install gapps on Pie.

You have a lot of experience. What do you suggest?
[Nexus 4 General] myxal:
Hi all. I only discovered this thread after independently figuring out the partitioning scheme (plain GPT) and process.

Sadly, even after this effort, it seems L-OS upgrades won't work unless L-OS devs modify their upgrade script to make use of resize2fs. Here's what happens as of package 2018-09-11:

L-OS runs backup procedure for all addons found in the existing /system/addon.d/

The above creates files (I guess) in /tmp

The /system is unmounted

The partition is overwritten with the image in the upgrade package

The script in addon.d/ are then run to restore the addons from /tmp

The problem is, the partition image in the upgrade package is for the old partition size, and therefore step 5 fails when the free space runs out. It seems the install or restore scripts don't detect this failure, and just exit without reporting an error, with 0B free space on /system.

I'm guessing the problem can be "solved" by formatting the system partition and installing LOS and all addons from scratch, but that's ridiculous. :eek: has anyone tried to raise this issue with devs? I'm about to report this in L-OS's JIRA, as I haven't seen any relevant report there.

EDIT: If anyone wants to track: https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-2306
[Nexus 4 General] Fif_:
You may be able to fix that on your own by adding an add-on.d named 00-resize-system (so that's it's ran first) that just does "resize2fs /dev/block/.../system", with maybe an unmount before and a mount after. This way, LOS can just flash the full image when upgrading and the system is resized before the other addons.d scripts run.
[Nexus 4 General] myxal:
Thanks for the tip, will give that a try. Any idea where I could find an "authoritative" docs/guide to those scripts? Just looked at the one supplied by open g-apps, and I don't really see the difference between the various commands that the script is supposed to handle (which is executed when?). Also what list_file() is supposed to provide.

backup

restore

pre-backup

pre-restore

post-backup

post-restore
[Nexus 4 General] Fif_:
You want to put the resize2fs call in the pre-restore section.

It should look like this:

pre-restore)
unmount /system
resize2fs /dev/block/platform/.../system
mount /system
;;

This includes unmounting and remounting /system which I think are needed, but YMMV. You'll need to fill in the full path to system under /dev.

There is no authoritative resource for backup scripts that I know of, but the gapps script is a good example.

P.S.: If you make it work, please post the script for others...
[Nexus 4 General] roomunho:
Thank You for this guide! Every thing went fine
[Nexus 4 General] myxal:
This should work:

View attachment 00-grow_system.sh.zip - this is NOT an installable zip - if anyone's more versed with making those, they're welcome to make one.

Boot into recovery

In TWRP: Mount -> system

Extract the script attached above

Push it to appropriate location

adb push 00-grow_system.sh /system/addon.d

Relevant part:

{
grep -q "/system" /proc/mounts
} && {
umount /system || {
echo "grow_system: error unmounting - cannot continue"
exit 1
}
} || {
echo "grow_system: /system wasn't mounted, proceeding"
}
{ e2fsck -fy "$syspart" || [ "$?" -le "1" ]; } || {
echo "grow_system: unrecoverable error found on /system, refusing to resize" >&2
exit 1
}
resize2fs "$syspart"
{ e2fsck -fy "$syspart" || [ "$?" -le "1" ]; } || {
echo "grow_system: unrecoverable error found after resize, /system is damaged" >&2
exit 1
}
mount "$syspart" /system

EDIT: Whoops, no idea how that managed to work yesterday. Updated script should work now.
