[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] crypted:
I cannot find the options described as:

ActiveSync, go to Tools - Options - Server Synchronization

I tried opening Sync Center and Windows Mobile Device Center looking for this (Vista). I also looked under ActiveSync on my Tilt. There is no "Tools." Under "Options" there is nothing regarding Server Synchronization.

What now?

Thanks...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DeepThought:
civic98 was refering to ActiveSync on a Windows XP machine (since you didn't mention Windows Vista before). In Windows Mobile Device Center the similar setting can be found under "Mobile Device Settings" -> "Change content sync settings" and there uncheck the "Calendar" checkbox. Your phone needs to be connected to the pc of course. HTH
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] civic98:
No, I'm referring to your Tilt's Activesync. NOT on the PC...

so I installed twrp on the 1x 5059y, following this guide https://unofficialtwrp.com/unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-for-alcatel-5059d-5059a-5059j-5059i-5059x-5059y/

but I wiped the system and now I don't have anything to flash... do you know of any roms for the phone? Also, if I select an .img to flash, I only have recovery and bootloader options. no system option to flash...

I made a backup, but after restoring, it still doesn't boot (gets stuck on the message that the bootloader is unlocked and that the phone will reboot in 5 sec, but it never does...)

Sp flash tools give me error code c0060005, but I've only found stock firmware for 5059D on the internet...

Hello all.

I'm looking for direction on how to root my TLC Model A503DL phone.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it is also known as Alcatel model A1X.

This was a free lifeline phone of which is painfully slow & with minimal memory of both types.

Reason for root is to speed up, expand storage and possibilities of using device for much more such as a remote camera or tethering and etcetera for example.

Thank you sooo much in advance for your time.

May good karma come your way. K+++

[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] Pewsplosions:
I am new to this stuff. Is there just a backup file used to restore from TWRP? If so, can someone share theirs with me. Please. :)

Long story short I wanted to root my phone. Did a whole bunch of stuff. And it doesn't work anymore. I didn't make a backup because I am dumb.

Now all I can do is get to TWRP or Fastboot. So I was kind of hoping someone could just supply TWRP backup files that I can load on an SD card and use to restore my phone. If that is even how the TWRP backup thing works?

Some details:

I had the newest updates before trying all this.

I tried to use the ASUS tool to unlock the bootloader but it kept failing.

I downloaded the old firmware that others here were on when they successfully rooted their devices.

I flashed TWRP as recovery, and it seems to be working fine.

I tried a bunch of stuff that I probably shouldn't have and now I don't think there is a system to boot to....

I just want to put any working system back on the device, but no matter what I try nothing will finish installing.

- I tried adb sideload the zip while TWRP is in sideload mode.

- I tried putting the zip on an SD card and using TWRP to install from that.

- I tried flashing everything I could find in the zip with fastboot, but seems all the system stuff is binary things rather than img files, so I'm not sure what to do to manually flash all that?

- I tried to update with the zip from fastboot.

- I tried a myriad of other things and probably just made it worse.

Basically no matter what I tried just got stuck... usually on some progress bar. I hate progress bars now...

Oh... and I never even managed to unlock the bootloader. :\ Which I think is also preventing me from doing some other things I was trying to do... but anyway... at this point I'm fairly lost. If this request doesn't get me back to where I was, I guess I'm going to just start looking at the source code and see if I can figure out how to build it or something...

[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] facsi2:
Hi guys.

I have some questions about the new android treble feature.

The way it is advertised, it seems to be the END of the fragmentation problem on android. But i dont know if it is over advertised.

1) "The A/B partition system is only for seamless update."

I've read this on the internet and the only difference between A and A/B is that A will update like older androids while A/B will be with the phone turned on with only a reboot being necessary. This shouldn't be something that will make treble more or less useful for the end-users.

2) Why I dont see people talking about system repartitioning the phone to enable A/B partition? Most phones have 32GB, with most being over 20GB in /data. Why not just repartition 1GB to enable A/B partition?

3) "The treble updates will still be released by the phone's manufaturer."

Really? I dont know if the updates are comming from google or phone manufacturer. Can someone confirm?

It does not make any sense to try to stop the fragmentation issue by still leaving the update task on the manufacturer's side...

After some time they will stop updating anyway.

4) "Android treble will be useless if the phone does not come with native treble support."

I really don't understand this. Ive read this in reddit I believe. But installing a custom treble supported rom wouldn't be easier to perform updates on the custom rom?

My thoughts are that the updates are going to be handled by google. By doing so, we could install any custom rom and forget it because "google will update it from now on". This makes sense to me. If treble is not heading to this, then they are doing it wrong...

IMO, I think that treble would be great if users could perform:

Get your old android phone's manufaturer proprietary files;

Save those files in a vendor folder;

Execute them in android 8 and on;

Leading every android device to the latest android version.

(This in a perfect world. I know this option is a dream.)

BUT, I believe this could be an option at least for the devices that received the oreo update (because they received the "updated proprietary files" that would work for the new android treble and by consequence, on all new android versions.

If so is true, the best that could happen is for custom rom devs, create their roms by packing the vendor files, integrating with AOSP and linking the updates from the google server. Done, phone will be "forever updated".

Any comments on those, please?

Thank you.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] facsi2:
Many thanks, Dan. The smart thing to do is hope a new good phone gets released with latest android. Then we can keep if for a longer time thanks to treble. Planned obsolescence sucks.

Just for the curiosity, I own a moto z play and a galaxy s5 (just because of the IR blaster).
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] CosmicDan:
I have to say I am very glad I got the Mi A1. They did take a while to release the source code, but being an Android One device it was already "Treble-ready" - the HAL and vendor files were already binderized, as per requirements for Treble (that's the most difficult part in getting a Treble device).

My next device may be the A2, or a Pixel, it really depends on how long I keep this device (probably a while yet, since it's definitely getting P officially even).

And yeah, being a Xiaomi, they always have IR :)
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] facsi2:
I think in google (Android) updates being sent by google itself as it is the one who releases android security patches.

I took a look on Mi A1. it only misses NFC. I might wait another year to change my phone.

thanks
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] CosmicDan:
What do you mean? Security updates can't be sent directly from Google, because every device is different and usually heavily modified at the source code level.

The whole point of Android One is that they are relatively pure, bit they still need to compile seperate security updates for different devices.

In short, there's no such thing as generic firmware, every firmware and therefore every update is still device-specific. Excluding GSI of course, which is not an official thing remember.

True about NFC, I never used it so forgot.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] facsi2:
Isnt google responsible for those security updates in a general ROM and then manufacturers have to port that update for their devices?

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/

What I meant was with treble, we could update our android directly from google, without having to wait for the manufacturer. Pretty much as how windows update work.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] CosmicDan:
Yes, that's how they work.

But no, we cannot. As I said multiple times already - there is no such thing as a generic device to Google. GSI is created by Phh. Generic updates simply do not exist.

If Google ever makes an official GSI of some sort, or Phh works with someone to make an OTA system for his GSI's, then it could happen. But I wouldn't hold my breath for either of those things - the first one I already explained why it isn't feasible yet, and the second one costs too much money.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] facsi2:
I am confused. What is android AOSP rom then?
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] CosmicDan:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#AOSP

Read the "Development" paragraph. The following "Update schedule" section goes on the explain the history and situation of how updates work, basically the same as what I've already said.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] facsi2:
got it. Many thanks.

Treble will be really useful for the users.

Btw, do you know if the source code released for moto z play the "same code" available for mi a1? I wonder if it is possible to do the same update you did on A1 on the ZP...
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] CosmicDan:
Useful for users and developers!

I don't know what you mean by that question. By "same update" do you mean repartition for Treble?
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] facsi2:
I ended up editing the phrase before sending it and I didn't fully checked it:

Do you know if the source code released for moto z play IS the "same code" available for mi a1? I wonder if it is possible to do the same update you did on A1 on the ZP

What I am asking is if the source code available for Moto z play have the contents to be able to port treble as you did on mi a1. I don't know by looking the contents on GitHub, if the code available is complete for that job.

Thanks
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] CosmicDan:
To port Treble to a device, these things are needed:

1) All the source code required to build standard AOSP, e.g. device tree and kernel. If you already have custom ROM's working f well for you device, this will likely be true.

2) Binderized vendor HAL. If you have *official* Oreo update from Motorola, this MAY be true. Manual inspection of compatibility_matrix.xml is required here, if everything in there matches the Treble requirements as listed on Android Developers then chances are it is ready.

3) An unused partition of ~500MB or more for Vendor, or the ability to repartition the device (many Qualcomm devices are standard GPT partitioned eMMC these days, if it is then it's possible).

That's a summary of the requirements. Obviously some technical investigation is required. Forward that info to any device developers who are interested in the project.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] ch3mn3y:
I read somewhere that device to be even updated to Pie have to have enabled Treble? Oreo required it only for launched devices and Pie require it from ALL devices.

Is it right or not? Unfortunately I cannot find it again :(
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] Xenos7:
About re-partitioning android device, is there a tool, command or anything universal to all the phones, like how in linux you can re-partition what and how you want. For example, I never saw a re-partition "mod" for samsung devices (ex. to give more space on /system). There is only one reason I can think of.

If samsung "download mode" is stored on a read-only pre-programmed chip, then re-partition should be no problem. If anything goes wrong, just flash stock firmware with CSC or flash official .PIT file.

If that is the case then there are no risks in re-partitioning a device.

There is a tool that can edit .PIT files, but what if someone wipes the bootloader partition?

Would "download mode" still be there for a roll-back, or would the device be permenantly bricked?

Is re-partition-ing safe?

If it is, then why doesn't any 3rd party recovery have an option for that, kinda like GPARTED. Is it impossible or what?

And if bootloader gets wiped, is there a way to re-program the device to the working order?

Sry for so many questions. Already tried to search but never got a straight-forward answer.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] CosmicDan:
No, nothing is standard when it comes to embedded systems (which our devices are). By "standard on Linux", you must mean "Standard on x86-based Linux" - which is mostly all MBR or GPT (but even then there are other less-common standards)

But as I said - many Qualcomm devices are in fact standard GPT, you can just use gdisk (a fork of fdisk which is better choice for GPT partition maps).

Repartitioning is relatively safe on SOME devices because they have an emergency bootloader/downloader which is on it's own EEPROM and not the eMMC or whatever. You will have to research the device for yourself to see if it has any "unbrick" capability. Again, many qualcomm devices have what is called "EDL mode" - EDL mode is still possible even if you "cat /dev/null > /dev/block/mmcblk0" for example - albeit you may need to disassemble the device to access test point to get it to be kicked into there.

tried to flash viper, made back up first. restoring gives me error in title. daily/only phone fast responses much appreciated!

Solved! Backup was working. TWRP keeps saying no OS. Used Power + Vol Down to restart and booted into system. Had an issue with the lock screen. Got past that too. TWRP still thinks there's no OS after reflashing TWRP but it's not keeping me stuck in recovery anymore.
