[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Very_Dummy:
Thanks!

Did that! Then repeated what You directed me to do in the earlier post.

No progress!

Are You aware if there are other hopes?

How old is Android 7.1.1?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rzarectha:
Ok, so far I worked on the presumption that your paid apps do not work because of the license issue from Google.

Maybe that is not the problem here.

Can you please describe the problems you have with these apps in more detail?

Please quote any error message you get from apps, or if they crash outright.

As for how old android 7.1.1 is, it was released around Dec 5, 2016
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Very_Dummy:
Partly solved.

Now partly solved thanks to Your method on Google Play Store.

Did the same with the "problem app" Deleted cache and memory.

Was warned sincere that I would lose data and own notes, places etc.

But what da .... if it didn't work.

Restarted the app - took some serious time on first start to show up.

(building new databas, organize and download i suppose?)

The app then started as it was just bought - that is "how I wanted things" settings etc.

Lost however two years of field notes and other things. Sad!

OK - I have some left in my brain - and I'll use a separate note book in the future. Not handy however more secure. I have the app (paid version) "MyBackup Pro" - made a full backup is in "Reware" cload" - however that might be a tough problem to sort things out there.

OK - now the app is rock an rolling.

I'll start over again. Not paying for a new phone....

Thanks pal - Your methods did it!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rzarectha:
Hey, I am happy to hear that you resolved the issue. I am very sorry that you lost all your data though :(

For written notes I can suggest the free app "Google Keep". It saves your notes on your Google account and you can access them on any phone or computer where you're logged in with your Google account. I have used it for a few months and I'm happy with it.

It may be worth contacting the customer support for the application you had and ask them if they keep a backup of your notes and if they may be able to help you restore the notes. I would not have high hopes for this but you have nothing at all to lose if you ask them.

Cheers!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Very_Dummy:
Have already written them on that matter - and "how come"

I suppose when the app was updated saved data and cache was incompatible.

That is a big blunder from them.

Otherwise it's a splendid field app worth every penny!

And You pal - thanks for directing me and kept my mood up!

From here on - life continue!

And next phone will be a well known costly phone with da powear and well recognized - that is supported higher up in the chain.

Hate that - I want to support the "outsiders".

I'm an old Linuxer/Unixer - now however now I'm forced into that "Windows" by a dual boot strap. That IS not good for future!

Your warranty is now void!
I'm not responsible for any bricks/data loss

In this guide I will show you how to root your CUBOT NOTE PLUS using Magisk.

Make sure you back up all your files. Because everything will be lost.

1. Unlock your boot loader

01. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and the Universal ADB Drivers and install them somewhere

02. Enable Developer Options and enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking

03. Connect your Phone via USB to your PC

04. Open the MAF32.exe (in newer Versions: cmd-here.exe) in your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder or run the Shortcut in your Start Menu

05. Type

adb reboot bootloader

Your Phone should reboot into bootloader

06. Type

fastboot oem unlock

All youre files will be deleted!

07. Follow the OnScreen Information on your phone (Press the VOL+ button on your phone)

2. Flash patched boot image

1. Download the patched boot image here: https://mega.nz/#!L3IWka7Y!pSR9MPdGdfWxXAZPcBMx_ysyF1CQ2VNVE9w3Uy11X7A. (patched with magisk v18.0)

2. Put it in the same folder as Minimal ADB and Fastboot.

2. type

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

3. Restart your phone and install the Magisk Manager App.

[/I]

If I made any mistakes or forgot something please correct me!
[Android General] tko:
theres an update out. V14_20200820 with "minor bug fixes"

question to those how have a rooted quest... does it stay rooted when you install that update?

edit: okay normal way update does not work, becouse of custom twrp recovery... does anyone know where the downloaded ota-update file is located... i cant find it... (need to flash it with twrp)...
[Android General] veretragna:
I installed TWRP and tried to install root, but TWRP just doesn't allow to swipe and unlock the screen, seems like the screen does not accept touches. If I press the Power button, it turns the screen off and on, TWRP becomes locked and needs swipe to unlock, but screen still does not accept touches. WTF?
[Android General] Garyyy:
That happens when flashing TWRP. The guide says you should boot TWRP.
[Android General] veretragna:
But when I try to reboot my device into fastboot mode, it just hangs with weird artifact line on the screen, and nothing happens. That's why I flashed it. At least TWRP is installed and boots, but screen is not accepting touches.
[Android General] Garyyy:
The TWRP Version isn't made by me. I know that it wont work when flashing it. Does your phone gets listed in the weird "artifact mode" when you type fastboot devices?
[Android General] Phenom2122:
A couple of questions. Does this work with the V12 firmware? I also got the faulty bootloader screen with the artifact lines. Thinking that reflashing one of the original firmware files might fix it.

Pity that there isn't much going on for this phone as far as custom firmwares, recoveries etc go. It's a decent bang for your buck in terms of specs but a lot of wasted potential without some good custom roms.
[Android General] Steve8262:
I did exactly the same, weird atifact screen is unreadable for me it appears after unlocking bootloader , my Note Plus hung at boot to ,reflashed stock rom and recovery all good now artifact line stays till phone finishes boot as bootloader loader remains unlocked. :good:
[Android General] Phenom2122:
For me the artifact screen appears before doing the unlocking bootloader step and when it's on that screen, the device doesn't respond to ADB at all, so I cannot actually continue and root this device. I tried reflashing the stock firmware and even that didn't help. I'm honestly starting to regret purchasing this phone.

Does anyone else with this device ever use it for USB tethering or WiFi hotspot? First device I've ever had that actually loses power while it's plugged in. I can plug the phone into my computer, activate USB tethering, and it'll lose about 15% of battery every hour. I can keep the phone plugged into the wall, activate WiFi hotspot, and it'll lose about 10% of battery power every hour. This device is a bad joke.
[Android General] Garyyy:
The patched boot image is from the V12 firmware. I also had the artifacts but I was able to continue anyways.
[Android General] Phenom2122:
Hey thanks for replying man. For me, ADB gets stuck on "detecting devices" and doesn't actually pick up my device at that point. But I have contacted the shop regarding the battery and charging issues and they have told me that my device is faulty and I'm picking up a replacement tomorrow. So hopefully I'll be able to do this soon.

I've just been kinda depressed about my purchase. I could've bought a Nokia 2 for just a little bit less and I would've been guaranteed quality. But I took a gamble on this 'Cubot' device with specs that were too good to be true for the price. It's a nice phone but it's battery and charging sucks balls. And I knew that it shipped with Android 7.0 but I thought that there would at least be an update to Android 7.2.1. I dunno, I'm just disappointed. My S4 Mini seems to kick this thing's ass in terms of battery power. And my S4 Mini is 6 years old, still on its original battery and has literally half the processing power and two thirds the RAM. I just needed this device for its 4G capability because my S4 Mini is the 3G model. I might sell it at a loss and pick up a MiFi router and new battery for my S4 Mini instead.

These phones are a huge missed opportunity. They pack some great specs for the price but offer a crappy, limited version of Android with no custom firmwares to be seen. Maybe if the battery thing works out and I can actually use this phone as a Wifi hotpot without it dying, I'll look into how to port a custom firmware to it. I think Slim or Carbon are in order, if they still exist.

Thanks for the reply dude. Maybe I'll have a different attitude to this phone once I have my replacement.
[Android General] philsilvers:
Adb a different twrp
[Android General] frank808:
Does this method work with the Cubot P20 too ???
[Android General] Garyyy:
No, because it is the boot image from the cubot note plus.
[Android General] tko:
... dont want to open a new topic.

is there root option for the new cubot quest out there allready?
[Android General] Garyyy:
You can probably follow the same steps. But you need to patch the boot image yourself. You can get the firmware for your phone on cubots website.
[Android General] tko:
the firmware i have.

but how do i patch the boot image?
[Android General] Garyyy:
Install the Magisk Manager, press Install and choose BootImage. Than flash the patched boot image with fastboot.

Edit: On latest Manager it is called "Select and Patch a file" than select the boot image which is somewhere in the firmware.
[Android General] tko:
okay i did that, but the i get a bootloop with the patched boot.img

btw, the original img is ~32mb and the patched only 9mb

this seems strange.
[Android General] Garyyy:
Maybe try with a different version of the manager. Maybe report that issue in the Magisk thread.

Edit: Maybe Magisk returns only a patched ramdisk. Try and flash the patched image as ramdisk. If you have a ramdisk image, try to patch and flash that instead.
[Android General] tko:
okay if i could find a earlier version... , i would like to try it with 18.0

edit: found it... will try now.

crap, now the app does not give me the option to patch... no popup, no button, ...

edit2: okay, i cant use an older version, when i "install/patch" the app always first wants to update to the newest version.
[Android General] Garyyy:
Did you try it with the ramdisk image?
[Android General] tko:
i'm getting an error with the ramdisk.img

#unsupported/unknown image format

#installation failed
[Android General] tko:
okay, i did get it to work!

question, should i lock the bootloader again?

the phone displays a msg each boot "...bootloader unlocked, phone at risk..."

and if so, how ?^^
[Android General] Hobler:
Can you tell me how you flashed the ramdisk on the Cubot Quest? :confused:
[Android General] laserstream:
Hello, i have bought an cubot note 20 pro with android 10 on, now since one week i try to root the phone ! I wanted to do it the easy way like you described it here in your thread with magisk.

So i did already the points of converting the boot.img with magisk correctly, now i want to put it in over fastboot flash boot boot.img and it starts to transfer the file but after that it says "transmission not possible on locked devices"

But i have done under developer the switching on of oem unlock !

All the drivers seam to be correct, than that i can control over adb / fastboot the phone over USB is O.K.

it shows mi in command line under: fastboot getvar unlocked = NO

So i have spend houres of wathing youtube videos, reading all kinds of thread's how to unlock the bootloader but no way !

Perhaps someone can tell me how to do it or i misunderstud somthing, but like i know (i have rootet some Samsungs & HTC's already that i have to unlock the bootloader first !?

Any other idear

Thank's

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Xelfmade:
The Mi Pad 4 is missing DRM, so for example Netflix won't work in HD. That's a real bummer for a media device like this one. Is this fixable with Lineage OS or is it a hardware thing, that can't be changed or tricked?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Blubster:
Most probably not, some oneplus devices (like my 3t) are shipped with support for widevine level 3, and not widevine level 1 which is required for HD. Oneplus offered to "upgrade" some oneplus 5 or 5t to widevine level 1 but users had to send their devices to oneplus so that drm keys could be installed.

This is not something that every one can do.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Xelfmade:
I searched a little longer for an ultimate answer. There are two major things I learned:

1) there are devices from Xiaomi which have L1 widevine. My theory is, that this could be the global versions, but I don't know if there will be a global version of the Mi Pad 4.

2) for some devices it is possible to fake the widevine L1. There are some Lineage OS ROMs which integrated this, but therefore we need a maintainer.

So it doesn't look very good.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] ctgchaos:

I tested the video quality with Teen Titans Go, because it has nice, sharp lines, and it look good to my eyes. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
Level 3 won't provide HD Netflix, only level 1. Even then to get official HD support from Netflix you need to have a device whitelisted by Netflix themselves. There was an app which got round this whitelisting though but level 1 is a necessity.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] hnpn914:
deleted
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] ctgchaos:
Strange, it looks plenty sharp with the build I downloaded (Netflix 6.8.0 build 28945). Also, when I downloaded Teen Titans Go S01E01 it's 177 MB for a 22m episode. I think that's the HD version, no?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
The best way to see if you're getting hd or not is to play the 'test patterns' videos on Netflix and see what resolution it plays up to. In the top right there will be the frame rate and resolution which will increase to your maximum permitted by Netflix. Without Widevine level 1 you won't get HD.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] michael64142:
But on the device info page on their website it says that devices with the 670 soc from Qualcomm will have HD: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] CrashnBrn:
There are apps in the play store that show DRM support. If you search for widevine in the play store DRM Info comes up which will tell you what is supported on the device.

ctgchaos can you see what it says on your device?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] P4M30:
DRM info shows widevine L3.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Xelfmade:
Jep and usually you nee L1 Widevine for Netflix and Co. But it seems to work just fine.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] CrashnBrn:
Netflix will still work with L3 but you just won't be able to stream higher than 480p. This is also a hardware DRM limitation so unless they do something there, no HD netflix or amazon prime video :(
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Xelfmade:
For me it looks definitely better than 480p so I doubt that..

Edit: its 480p but it looks better than expected
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] michael64142:
Netflix said HD should be possible: https://twitter.com/Netflixhelps/status/1030121266982907904
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] CrashnBrn:
I think they mean it's possible if the MFG wants to do it. Xiaomi doesn't really care though since they don't have Netflix in China.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] grayson73:
I'm thinking about buying the Mi Pad 4. Is this still an issue? Netflix won't play higher than 480p?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] P.Kosunen:
Yes, almost sure fix will never come to China-only devices.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] reg66:
can it not be fixed in the same way as poco f1 (which also doesn't have DRM/widevine 1), see here near the end of the first post, there's links to the original thread and some apk's. but, i'm guessing you need to be rooted...

i'm about to (in the next couple of days) take delivery of a mi pad 4, hoping it's already booloader unlocked, if so i'll root etc and can check whether the apks work. hopefully i'll be able to temporarily use someone elses account (sister has netflix) to check it.

hopefully we'll know one way or the other soon, providing i don't brick the device messing something up!!

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Lithium Flower:
I got a Mi Pad 4 Plus LTE 4/64 GB recently off Aliexpress. It came with an unlocked bootloader and a Multilingual rom that may or may not have been Mokee but unfortunately I failed to identify it. I've now installed TWRP (LR.Team version 3.2.2-0713) with Magisk (updated recently to v 18.).

I tested the apps linked above.

netflixlatest.ultrahd.apk (1)

netflixlatest.hdonly.apk (2)

netflix play store version (latest) (3)

Here are the results running Test Patterns video on Netflix.

(1) - failed to run. Apk installs correctly and then Netflix prompts me to update to the latest version. I press Cancel to continue with the current version and I reach the Sign In page. I enter my correct username and password and get invalid username/password immediately with no attempt to verify my details. I was unable to continue further.

(2) - No HD. I installed the app. Was prompted to update to latest version. Cancelled and signed in with my Netflix account (Premium/4K/4 screens). There is no HD option on any of the shows. I search for and play Test Patterns. I get 854x480 max resolution.

(3). I installed Netflix from Playstore. Signed in and played Test Patterns. The max resolution I get is 940x540. This is better than 854x480 by a small but noticeable amount.

Conclusion: Not possible to play Netflix in FHD/UHD but 960x540 is not unwatchable.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] allcaps33:
***************

(Post Update)

After searching for a good while I've found this is nothing new. Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL phones have had issues similar to this for quite a while.

The only reason I still believe this to be VZW related, is because I've only had this issue with VZW Sims. Others have had the issue regardless of the Sim carrier.

*********

It doesn't matter if the phone is new or refurbished.

It happens regardless of its initial condition.

I think that it's caused when 2 conditions are met:

1) the phone's bootloader was already unlocked

2) the phone has a Verizon Sim card *in* the phone. Seeing as how there is no validation or signature check, Verizon variants of the firmware are auto downloaded and installed. This is what causes the lockout.

There are a handful of people who have this issue and have posted threads here. Look around and you'll find them. I'll add another post here with links to the other threads at a later time. If someone beats me to it, thank you very much!

The next thread is a dialogue between myself and Google Support. It seems they absolutely refuse to accept that this is an issue that needs to be fixed. The convo will also show you just how little they actually care.

I understand that the people on the support chat will have very little (if any) knowledge on these concepts, but they'll go out of their way to completely avoid the topic and try and shove random things in your face to get you to shut up and leave.
