Spyware?

Why does this Ride Mode app maintain a connection and transmit small amounts traffic to a Huawei Cloud server in Changi Park Singapore? It does this constantly even if I do not use it. If I force stop the app, still runs as found in simple system monitor process list and network connection maintained as seen in Network Connection app!

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] FelipeFritschF:
Hello, I have a SM-J700M, Brazilian model from a relative. It''s apparently hard bricked as I'm getting a "an error has occurred while updating the device software" message. While I'm still able to get into download mode, I can't get into recovery mode. This phone hasn't had its bootloader unlocked before, so when I tried to flash the stock ROM with Odin, and I've tried multiple different ROMs from Sammobile and elsewhere, both Lollipop and Marshmallow, however I always either get a bootloader message or an "invalid magic string" error in one case. I naturally cannot flash TWRP either because the bootloader blocks it as well. I've tried flashing just TWRP, or just the extracted hidden.img from the unpacked .tar file. I've also tried using both Smart Switch and Kies but they do not detect my phone. Is there any other possible solution?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
What happens when you try booting into recovery? What key combo are you using to get to it? And are you able to boot into safe mode? (Hold Vol↓on boot)

Also, have you tried a different version of Odin? I've had problems flashing firmware if I use an older version. Not all versions play nice with all the different models.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] dodo2244:
Have you tried SmartSwitch?

And please stop trying with Lollipop.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] FelipeFritschF:
When I try to boot into recovery it just gives me the "an error has occurred" message and. Now that I've tried flashing TWRP it just stays in the boot screen. I haven't tried another version of Odin though, just the latest one, but perhaps it will work with an older one. I'll try that and return here to report if it works. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
I know how it is to get stuck in that kind of loop. If odin at least gives you a pass when flashing a recovery, you can try flashing the stock recovery or TWRP, leaving the auto reboot option checked, and quickly holding Vol↑+Home+Power as soon as the screen turns off. If the error in stock recovery shows a triangle, you can try tapping Vol↓2 times to bring up its menu. If that doesn't work, try Vol↑ 2 times. If none of those work, I would try pulling the battery, and rebooting into recovery once more and giving it one more try. I honestly think your device can be saved. It might take a few tries though.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] TechNash:
You have one option at this point, which is to flash stock through odin.

Ill link you to a website, which has your firmware download, and a guode to flash stock through odin.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] N8DeTar:
In the last few weeks my phone seems to have gotten worse and worse. I have a L24 running LineageOS, and as of late it has gotten laggy doing general tasks. I was wondering what ROM, gapps, and kernel seems to have the best performance?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
How far have you gone into the system? It may be that something has changed your performance parameters. I’m sure I’ve had mine as long as yours, and yes, extensive modifications make it keep up with what’s new. Here’s how mine is set up anyway.

Using twrp, aicp nightly rom( June 23, 2017, before radio problems, problems after that date). SE Linux still enforcing. Hotdog kernel( you could use astral too) , kernel aditor for tuning needs( lots of things you can tune, but study first before changing things), magisk with no super su remnants) xposed, etc.. Internal, sdcard, as one, with ability to put some apps on sd. Changing governors(and some parameters of it), I/o , entropy, and low memory killer , keeps it snappy enough, and battery’s still good. There are other things but that’s it. If you have twrp, clear cache, and data before, that may be it too. I use mini gapps.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] N8DeTar:
Thanks for the response, I'll try out aicp and the various other modifications. I haven't messed around with custom kernels much what would you recommend I focus on?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
AICP is a nougat ROM. There's no updates for it, but it's stable. Lineage is good too, and there's still devs on it. Resurrection Remix is another. These are all nougat ROMs. Mostly anything that you flash, except specified, should go to the /data folder.
[Touch Cruise General] keysersoze:
Hello,

Does anyone know of a way to reflash the XDA Orbit 2 with vanilla HTC Porlaris firmware?
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Wrong question, try searching here.
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bigrammy:
Requirements:

1. Bootloader Must Be Unlocked.

2. Have a backup of your working Magisk Patched boot.img saved to your External SDcard.​

A little INFO:

The Sony L1 recovery seems to be disabled by SONY for some unknown and Probably stupid reason.

I have tried all ways to get the TWRP and Stock recovery to boot up from the fotakernel partition (recovery) but TWRP and even the stock recovery refuse to boot. :mad:

Anyway to cut a very long story short I am releasing this TWRP which is 95% functional and needs to be flashed to the boot partition

Working Method/flow:

Make sure you have a Back up of your working Boot.img "You know the one you used to root the device in the first place".

For ease of use You can use this app by XDA dev [MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION] (Thread here) app on playstore Here You can also use this app to flash the v5-twrp-l1.img to your "boot" partition or you can go old skool and use dd (Via adb shell) or use the Magisk patched_boot.img you first rooted with..

Make SURE to Copy this working boot.img to your External SDcard.

When you require TWRP flash the downloaded TWRP to your boot partition using Fastboot (cmd's below) or the above app then reboot

You will now boot to TWRP.

Do what you need to do in TWRP.

IMPORTANT:

Remember Just before you leave TWRP go to INSTALL choose your external SDCard choose "image" from the install screen find your boot.img and select "boot" with the little radio button.

Once flashed choose reboot system.

Now when you boot you will be back to normal :good:

Things Not Working:

1. You will not be able to mount encrypted data therefore you would need to FORMAT your data and then leave it unencrypted.

SuperSU and Magisk will disable forceencrypt for you.

2. Does not Charge or show battery % so I don't know if it's actually charging. (Probably Qnovo battery module used by sony)

It will probably work on all variants but I am not able to test that.

It's use is for backups and restores wipes and installs for which it seems fully functional. :good:

Install Instructios.

Boot to the bootloader then

fastboot flash boot v5-twrp-l1.img

Then

fastboot reboot

Download HERE v5-twrp-l1.img

Hi [MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION]!! I have it booting ok, obviously encryption is not working! I was able to do a backup but couldn't boot back into system, just keeps going back to twrp! I had to flashi the patched 3313 boot image from another post to get back into system! Good work though! Tested on g3311
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bigrammy:
:laugh:

Ok maybe I should update the OP as it seems it's not really clear enough that obviously the boot is replaced by the recovery. :eek:

Method would be make sure you have a Back up your working Boot.img You know the one you used to root the device in the first place.

You can also use dd (Via adb shell) or a app from the playstore or better still use the Magisk patched_boot.img .

Copy this working boot.img to your External SDcard.

When required flash the recovery to your boot partition using Fastboot then reboot

You will now boot to TWRP.

Do what you need to do in TWRP.

Then just before you leave TWRP go to INSTALL choose your external SDCard choose "image" from the install screen find your boot.img and select "boot" with the little radio button.

Once flashed choose reboot system.

Now when you boot you will be back to normal :good:

OP Updated let me know if it's clearer to understand now.

Thanks for reporting back. :good:
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronic2k13:
I'll give it a go! Many thanks! Just one question though. How do I enter recovery mode from then on? Is it still power down, power and volume down yeah?
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bigrammy:
I don't think you have really read or understood the OP :confused:

You are only ever flashing the "boot partition".

When you need to use TWRP you flash the TWRP.img to the boot partition and when your done you flash back your boot.img again to the boot partition as in the OP.

BTW Have you ever been able to enter the STOCK recovery using Power and Volume Down or using any commands :confused:

My phone could not enter the STOCK recovery at all let alone a custom one and since no one ever replied to my question about this I assumed this was the case for everyone as many sony devices from 7.0 had the recovery disabled?

[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] alegatorul:
I tested twrp 2 times

Worked every time.

I've tried to install superSu.zip via twrp, looked all right, rebooted the phone and now it's in bootloop for over 2 hours...

It's getting hotter... i ca't turn it off

The only thing that works is keeping Power and Volume Up pressed and it looks restarting...

What can i do to revive it safely?
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bigrammy:
Mate you really need to be careful unless you really know what your doing :eek:

You will likely brick the phone if you continue to blindly mess with re-partitioning and the like.

If you were in TWRP which was flashed to the boot partition as directed in the OP then flashing the supersu.zip will simply modify your TWRP.img not your boot.img since TWRP is living in the boot partition at the time you run the .zip hence your looping.

This device has bootloader issues since it will not allow the booting of another partition except "boot" recovery, fotakernel, rdimage, all tested all failed to boot the TWRP recovery and stock recovery.

There is another method used by some sony devices but this will need to be heavily modified for this MediaTek SoC and will require a lot of study and script re-writes.

Spending all this time on a device that's pretty much obsolete before it was launched since it's not planned to receive oreo and Sony 90% locked down the bootloader is kinda futile so use the phone for what it is then throw it in the bin when done in a year or two.

This "HERE v5-twrp-l1.img" is working in my Xperia L1 G3312.

But, after installing TWRP, phone does not get into boot normally. Everytime it boots into recovery mode. I think that it needs separate twrp partition. This twrp is overwriting the main boot. If anyone can make separate partition for TWRP recovery. This problem will be solved.
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dumb person:
Hello. I ignored all your post like a retard and basically just went to the last step to flash the image. The twrp works but it wouldn't boot into normal mode but just boot to twrp everytime so I downloaded some random boot image I saw online and installed it. Now it's just stuck in the sony logo and won't even turn off. Is there anything I can do or is it rip for good?
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bigrammy:
No it's only the boot.img Flash the boot.img in this thread https://xdaforums.com/xperia-l1/how-to/root-l1-g3313-magisk-t3693350 if you can get into fastboot that is.

If not then use FlashTool to flash the stock boot.sin and system.sin only. That should get you working again.

In twrp mode, I can do everything smoothly..... but phone does not get into boot normally..... After installing stock boot again, phone boot into normally, but twrp has gone completely..... So, it is clear that boot & twrp partition overwrites each other due to no separate partition.... So, we need separate partition for boot & twrp.... then everything will be solved...
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dumb person:
I downloaded the boot from the link you posted and flashed it. Now it phone works again. Many thanks!!
[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bigrammy:
Yes but Sony Disabled the recovery partition (fotakernel) by design so you can not boot from it. :(

The OP is clear about the need to flash the TWRP to your boot partition and the reason I also give full instruction in the workflow/method but people simply don't read anymore it seems. :crying:

TWRP can be injected into the boot.img so you can boot normally or boot TWRP using the volume keys at boot time but I can't be bothered working on this since Sony are not going to update the Android Version.

While the phone is OK I have far better phones to spend my time on at the moment. :o

[Sony Xperia L1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jaco777:
NO. The order is important:

1. unlock bootloader

2. flash twrp via fastboot, run phone with TWRP,

3. flash BOOT partition via TWRP with oryginal img boot file, not img twrp file,

4. now flash magisk.zip or superSU.zip via TWRP,

5. reboot phone.

STEP 3 IS IMPORTANT.

Hey [MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION],

Do you have the sources of this TWRP?:o

I'm working on a boot menu with [MENTION=9523757]rote66[/MENTION] and [MENTION=9455950]jmpf_bmx[/MENTION] so we can easily boot TWRP without flashing it to the BOOT partition and seems to be working.

The problem is that my TWRP doesn't seems to be mounting the partitions correctly :(

A side note: The boot menu was originally made by rbox for the FireTV so big thanks to him. I just ported it to the Sony Xperia L1 and to the android-8.1 branch and edited the GUI.

Check out the attached photo to see what I am meaning with boot menu (Yeah I need to fix the "BOCTMENU" text xD).

Good evening, in recent days the project Oreo 15.1 for the G5S (montana) has begun. My friend Pedro Kalil was able to make a tree common that supports all motorola devices that use msm8937 or msm8953. The first compilation was started for testing, but we are facing major problems with the sensors and the camera.

At the moment the sensors and the camera are not working, we already made several compilations with the exchange of the libs. But it still does not work.

We need the help of you montana developers so that the Oreo project works.

I had to use xda to communicate this because I could not get the number of some dev's.

First of all I apologize for a too late reply.

Main problem is cedric sensor and camera libraries would not work with montana sensors and camera. Initially for LOS7, I tried this way of making a montana build using cedric libraries. Same problem I ended up with. Whatever change I do, there would be something preventing it from working. Try to use sensor and camera libraries from G5S stock.

Mainly,

system/bin/sensors.qcom

system/lib/hw/sensors.rp.so

system/lib/hw/sensors.montana.so

system/lib/lib_motsensorlistener.so

system/lib/hw/camera.msm8937.so

system/bin/mm-qcamera-daemon

system/lib/libcamerabgprocservice.so

And there is a whole bunch of libmmcamera*.so in vendor/lib directory of stock Nougat ROM.

But my gut feel is these libraries would not work as such in OREO build. We may require to write a SHIM layer.

Please don't take it as discouragement. I am just outlining what problems you would face using a mix of CEDRIC and MONTANA (STOCK) libraries.

Thanks
