[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] BlackMesa123:
Well the answer is no of course, if you don't wipe your /data partition it will be unreadable from TWRP, equals you can't flash anything that needs to write data in that partition, like Magisk itself. Was it necessary to write that whole post when all you're asking is just a way to avoid /data partition wiping? You basically blamed the "master XDA devs" (which I feel like I'm part of it, sort-of) because "they made the steps for root so hard". I imagine you know "we" aren't the "bad guys that wanna make you lose your precious time" and if I wrote all those steps to follow in the main post (that you copy-pasted twice in your post, without any sense I'd add since users can read the steps from there instead of reading a 1500 lines post) are there because... they are needed? You even noticed and wrote yourself that if you miss one you break something in the way and you get no TWRP if you don't follow all the steps correctly... Wanna blame someone? Then blame the OEMs that add all those security features instead of blaming people that dedicated their time to bypass those and bring you custom softwares for your phone.

Issues

Hi there,

I try to follow the procedure, OEM its unlocked, twrp on the AP box on Odin everything it's ok. Flash TWRP, wipe data partition, reboot into twrp, install ram bypass and no verify op encrypt, reboot to OS, show welcome screen to start configuring but I turn of the device and when turn it on, I get the red message only official binaries are allowed to install, install the whole firmware again, but the odd thing it's the OEM unlock its still available and say "bootloader already unlocked" but I'm afraid to reboot the device or try anything else again.

Can anyone tell were I made the error. I flash twrp without sim card, that could affected the process?

Regards

Hi there,

Almost a year ago, I flash my Galaxy A8+ (2018) with TWRP and root with Magisk, so fare, no issues. But since 2 weeks ago, i have issues with apps on fullscreen. the screen bug and I need to open the notification panel in order to un freeze, I try to pinpoint the root cause no luck so far, so I'm thinking on perform a factory reset to the device, but not sure how to do it.

My device it's a SM-A730F with Magisk 20.4 and TWRP 3.3.1.0

Any help I will really apreciate

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixitsam:
Hi,

I need some expert advise on installing Lineage OS 14 or 15 in my ZE550KL. A little background about my phone. It always got the ASDF error..unable to mount error when trying to upgrade firmware. I always have to revert to the 1531 firmware and then upgrade to the latest firmware. Since the phone is now past its prime, I felt like experimenting with new ROMs. But whatever OS I install with TWRP, it always gets stuck in the first boot. The Lineage or the other OS boot animation never stops. I have probably done 5-8 installs of Lineage OS, each time trying something new, however I always got stuck with the boot up animation. I have tried installing with different versions of TWRP, deleted Dalvik after installing, deleted everything except external SD card before installing Lineage, installed different versions of Gapps, not installed GAPPs at all and just rebooted with Lineage installed. I have tried different versions of Lineage OS. Whatever I did, the phone always got stuck during the first boot up. I have observed the boot up animation after each installation, and every time waited for at least 30 mins to 1 hour and saw nothing happening, except the Lineage bootup animation. Please help.

Hi I'm not an expert, but try this following steps I hope it works.

1.) Remove your sdcard

2.) backup everything in Internal Memory

3.) download the latest TWRP recovery @ twrp.me

4.) install flash it to your recovery partition.

5.) goto advance wipe then do an advance partition repair

# perform repair at this Mount points

# /system

# /cache

# /data

# /dalvik-cache

# /ASDF

6.) reboot again to recovery (not necessary)

7.) perform a clean install on your desired rom.

7.5) goto advance settings and copy logs.

8.) reboot simultaneously with this command

8.5) open cmd/terminal and run adb logcat > {YOUR_PATH}/logcat.log e.g.

9.) pray it works.

If its still unsuccessful,

Paste your logs here for those who might get interested in your case. They can't help you if they don't know what is happening inside. ;)

Does unlocking the bootloader on my Mate 10 Pro have any effect on the device as in with LG you get the warning screen on every boot or on Sony devices you lose DRM keys resulting in bad camera quality?, I have no plans to root or install custom ROMs at the moment, but if it will no longer be possible after the 24th then I'd rather do it and have the option, as long as nothing is sacrificed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DAViiD__:
I have been noticing my CPU running on max (either the little or big CPU) whenever the screen is on (so the CPU appears to be running in deep sleep whenever I turn the screen off. EXCEPT for when there's an app running in the background like Spotify). I checked the logcat, and noticed there are a bunch of system errors regarding afterimagecompensationservice, whatever the hell that means. I tried Googling it, and didn't find one thing about it. I suspect there might be a virus at play here, but I've already formatted my phone multiple times and flashed different ROMs. I've also booted the phone in safe mode, same problem, so I'm confident it's not some rogue app causing it.

If any of you can help me find out what the problem is, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Cheers!

David

Hello guys,

I'm writing a website for all j5 devices and just wanted to share it. Currently the site is not ready for publishing but I wanted you to join the telegram group (news/informations) for the site and share now here the link.

mod edit

I want to provide a server where anybody can download all this stuff for every j5 device.

I will integrate something like a contact form or just a email where people can write an email where you can give feedback.

The really important thing is that I need the devs for the devices in the group cause of uploading ROM files to the server. One place where you can download everything needed for installing custom ROMs on every j5 device (2015 to 2017 currently).

I hope you like my project idea and help me to set up everything.

[Android Head-Units] zammy:
Hi,

I've bought a new Head Unit, and I wired everything on the car.

It's working like a charm, but, there a big but.

The Head Unit which should go to sleep / deep sleep or whatever when I remove my car key after 30 seconds, stays on.

For the time being I've unpluger the ACC cable (the red wire) so that the Head Unit only receives power when the car key is plugged in.

Do you know why am I facing this Issue and how to resolve it ? I had hope to enjoy a fast boot and not a full boot everytime I use my car.. it would be nice :(

I have another question also, if you know about it, I'm trying to get the light buttons always on, because they're not very visible to me. Si I went to the special menu (with the 126 code) and tried changing the parameter "Power LED control" to "By Power" instead of "By head light" but they still won't turn on unless head light is on. Am I missing something ?

I'm not sure what head unit you have but a) what is your amp wire from the head unit connected to? B) there's is usually an illumination wire, what is that connected to?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DiDRoe:
I want to modify the messaging program but I've not done any WM coding before. I've looked at a number of posts on the forum and taken a look at the wiki but I'm still totally confused about where to start.

My current view is that I need to:

Extract the messaging program from the ROM I'm using

Is this possible? If so, what tools do I need? I found a few utilities that look promising on the wiki but there is no documentation for them so I've got no idea how to use them.

Disassemble the program

Can I do this with Visual Studio? Ideally I would like to step through the execution to find the bits I need to change, can I do that with the extracted program in the WM emulator? Or can I do it directly on my PDA?

Patch the program

I can probably figure this bit out by myself.

Get the patched program onto my PDA

As the program is in ROM, I'm assuming I'll have to re-make the ROM. Or can ROM files be updated/overwritten without rebuilding the ROM?

Each of those steps is assuming the previous one is the correct approach and is actually possible. I'm not looking for hand holding at every step, just some good pointers to relevant information and tools. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AMV007:
0. - which programm you want to hack ?

1. What type of PDA you use ?

for example - for hx4700 -

prepare_imgfs.exe dump.dat

viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin

2. IDA - diassemble, or Visual Studio for debugging - if you know how

3. What type of PDA you use ?

for example - for hx4700 - like vivi kitchen.

4. ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DiDRoe:
Thanks for your reply.

The messaging program, is it called Outlook Mobile? Do you know if it is native or managed code? If not, what's the easiest way to tell?

I've got a Kaiser. Currently running "udK 8.0 R0 Vega" ROM (WM6.1). Forgot to mention that in my previous post.

Does IDA support remote debugging on Windows Mobile? Also, are there any restrictions on what you can debug in VS, ie. do they stop you from debugging things you don't have the source for or are Microsoft applications (eg. Outlook) restricted from debugging in some way?

I'm finding it really hard to get decent information on these kinds of things. If I actually manage to get anywhere with this then I'll write up some kind of guide for the wiki.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DiDRoe:
Ok, I've used this tool to extract the ROM and get a file called 00_OS.nb. I then got these tools and managed to dump the NB file so that I now have all of the files inside the ROM.

I've been playing about with IDA but when I try and run poutlook.exe in the debugger, it runs but exits straight away (ie. it doesn't create a window on the PDA). I tried copying poutlook.exe onto my device but it doesn't run, I think I need to get it running from the exe before I do anymore IDA stuff. I remember reading somewhere that executables in the ROM image have been manipulated in some way (addresses rewritten or relocated or something), is that what is affecting it? Or do I need to run some additional tool on the extracted exe before it will run standalone?

How do I get an executable extracted from the ROM to run on my device? Or do I have to roll it all up into a ROM for it to work?

Hey

So I was flashing android 7.0 to an S8 and it completely died, this is how completely:

- No screen/LED/vibration motor

- No safety/recovery/download mode (and don't ask about button combos, I've tried them all)

- No USB recognition from device manager (not even as exynos in other devices, just nothing)

- USB jig does nothing

- It is however recognised by wireless chargers (but I doubt that has any real significance)

At this point my question is would a JTAG even work on it? Or is my only hope a complete motherboard replacement?
