hi, anyone can help me extract and decrypt .img file to view its contents

I've searched and tried everything, always getting errors and unable to extract the lz4 file :(

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
I used to have to extract img files using a linux OS (like Ubuntu, etc.) on a virtual machine, since I would run into problems trying to do it directly through Windows. I haven't tried since the Note 4, but still worth with a look.

Not sure what you mean about decrypting them, but if talking about encrypted csc files then someone on the Note 8 forums posted a thread about how to decrypt those... Should have more info there. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=76068742
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] upbeatwrench:
I have already found that thread but the problem is I can't get to that phase cause I'm stuck extracting or converting the cache.img.ext4.lz4 file. I'm using ubuntu on virtual machine, I getting error on terminal decompressing the lz4 file, I'm getting permission denied error, I did "sudo -s" and still permission error
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Hmm definitely a permission issue... Make sure you have root access for the location where you are trying to unzip. If you don't have su for the target folder it won't work.

I googled "permission error extracting img in linux" and it turned up a few results with various chmod and su command lines that might work too. Been a while since I used linux but that is what I would try.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] upbeatwrench:
I forgot to use the chmod :(

How do I add that command and where do I put it in?

*Path*\lz4.exe -d cache.img.ext4.lz4 cache.img.ext4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
It would be a separate command, and not part of the lz4 command line. Like I said it's been a while since I used linux, but it should be something like "su chmod 755 /path/". Then move your lz4 file there and make sure you have sufficient privileges on that file too. Then try the lz4 command again.

Google and trial/error help, and you can check this page for reference too: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1510019

Finally I managed to make a dual speaker mod for note 8 n9500 hong kong devices for oreo 8.0

First backup your existing file.

Copy the attached file to system/vendor/etc overwrite it and give permission 644 using any root explorer then reboot.

(There is a problem but i will solve it. Earpiece speaker doesnt work in games)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tmihai20:
I just noticed that I am unable to update Netflix anymore. I started investigating and it looks like my Exynos Note 8, with the October 2018 security patch appears to be Uncertified, therefore it is unable to update Netflix. I know for sure I updated it a few times after getting my Note 8. This is not such a big deal, but I did not pay for my Note 8 so that I cannot install or update Netflix. Is there anybody else that may have the same issue? I got a reply on another forum from a user in the same country as I am and his Note 8 updated Netflix yesterday with the updated version of Android.

I just found a thread from a user with a Galaxy S9+ that had the same issue and he is thinking that enabling OEM unlock was to blame https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/oem-toggle-uncertified-play-store-t3773727. I will try to disable OEM unlock and see if that fixes the issue. This means that some apps may be blocked from being installed or updated and I have a few banking apps installed on my Note 8.

Edit: I disabled OEM unlock from the Developer Options, I rebooted it and voila, Netflix was able to be updated again. What a **** move from Samsung. Maybe it will help other users. Device still appears as uncertified, but it will probably be certified after 7 days.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] santosangelob:
There's a way to make the device certified again.

1. You need to go to developers options then turn off OEM unlock.

2. Go to setting, then apps and look for google play store then clear cache and data, disable and enable it.

3. Turn off the phone and go to recovery mode by pressing volume up, bixby and power button simultaneously, release after the samsung logo appeared. Wait until it loaded the menu.

4. Clear cache your device then reboot.

5. Open google play store and let it load, force close it through recents menu.

6. Open google play store again and you should see that your device is certified again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tmihai20:
I do not think I wrote here what I did to get it again Certified. I turned off OEM Unlock, cleared cache for the apps, maybe restarted it and the device was again Certified. No need to go to recovery, although that way cache is cleared for all apps. The steps above should work. It did not even take long, in about 5 minutes my Note 8 was Certified again.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
Hi All,

Had my mate 20 pro since Friday and have to say I'm not overly impressed with the battery. Yes its good but I was expecting more. After seeing stats of it getting 7 hours SOT while running games and benchmarking for most it I was expecting a good 7/8 hours myself.

I'm getting around 6.30 of SOT with fairly light usage. Screen is set to FHD, brightness to around 50%, wifi on all day, 4g for around 6 hours, NFC off, Bluetooth on. Light usage mainly chrome, fb and instragram.

So do people want to share their own battery stats and any tips they have?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
I find turning off the lte boost in mobile data settings has reduced the battery consumption a lot when using mobile data. Also under battery option and app launch set some of your apps to manual and untick auto launch and run in background.

Hi,

I want to start off with saying this isn't a stolen phone.

A friend of mine his uncle recently passed away and there are alot of questions about it.

He had a galaxy s7 which has an unlock pattern, is there any way to bypass it so we can take a look at his last messages? It doesn't have usb debugging enabled.

We also have his pc, but it is password protected, if we can get in we hope he is logged in , in its google account, but that is a long shot.

Any help is much appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
If the phone is up to date, the exploits are likely all patched.

With a death certification most businesses do offer services for recovering data within reason, carriers can pull SMS records, and social media can provide access to certain data. That may be a more realistic approach.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] _1And0nlyDonkey_:
Assuming you have TWRP go into the file manager found in advanced and go to /data/system and delete the locksettings.db or gesture.key

It's not a problem of root, Magisk works certainly here, it's a problem of patching the boot image.

Either you wait for a TWRP port on this phone, either you want to use the hard way and patch your boot manually like it's explained here https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/root-recovery-root-device-magisk-t3779454

But you need a minimum experience in playing with adb and fastboot

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] refedit:
Your colleague is 100% correct. Tough, stills under warranty as long as you don´t mess with the phone. Cose if oneplus detects that the damage is caused for example for messing with overclocking or something like this, they can void warranty

point 5 here https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/q-a-the-ultimate-oneplus-6t-guide.918859/

Does rooting / unlocking bootloader void warranty?

The technical process of rooting or unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty of the OnePlus 6T. However, we strongly suggest for you to only root or unlock the bootloader of the OnePlus 6T if you are confident that you understand the risks involved.

By accessing resources regularly unavailable to software, the process may damage your hardware during or after the procedure, which is not covered under warranty. In warranty handling, we will need to verify that any faulty behavior is unrelated to rooting / unlocking first.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TechXero:
Hey guys,

It's been ages since my last post on here. I have been using iPhone for past 2 years as I work at an Apple Reseller place which doesn't allow me the privilege of using Android. Anyway now that I am free to use whatever phone I want, I ordered the 6T which will arrive tomorrow. Until then I decided to get ready to root and flash it as soon as it gets here. Got this toolkit and added it to my context menu since I add all portable apps there for easy access. Only I noticed that whenever I launch exe from context menu it creates its folder wherever I do it from, like if I right click on desktop and launch toolkit it thinks that the desktop is the actual working directory and extracts folders there, which wasn't ideal.

For this I created a "Starter" executable that launches Toolkit exe telling it to work from its own directory wherever it's launched from, if that makes any sense... If anyone it like me I can share that executable.

Thanks for the great app ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
My tool create only a link on the desktop, the working folder is in appdata, so is not needed the starter.

The non installer version create working folder where it is opened, but it's only necessary make a link to desktop to solve this little problem.

Thanks for your message
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TechXero:
Exactly why I made starter, Context menu creator app doesn't open shortcuts, it opens actual exe. But when I add entry it messes up. So I created starter and told context menu adder to open that exe instead of Toolkit one now no more issues. And yeah I got as portable app not installer.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
Share your starter without problems, thanks

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
Hi, sorry for late answer.

You should use "Recovery Flasher and ROOT" option, choose the first twrp in the list, check "Root after flash", click on flash, choose magisk 17.3, click continue and wait the process go. For all of these process is needed your devices is relevated in fastboot mode and in adb mode, check it before use the procedure (Is recognized in adb mode if your phone is powered on with debug usb enabled and in fastboot mode when it is in fastboot-bootloader mode). The procedure will end when in the terminal you will "Press any key to continue..." or you will see it translated in your Pc language

hey!

thanks for your quick reply and sorry my late answer! (I wanted to "reroot" and install TWRP today)

just for clarification: if TWRP is installed, I'm not able to do OTA updates anymore?

the phone is my daily driver and I don't want to miss OTA update feature....
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
You can just take the OTA but you have to reinstall twrp & root afterwards
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] xfxx:
sorry for my noobish question, just to be clear again:

currently I do the official magisk ota update procedure:

-)uninstall magisk NO REBOOT

-)make full OTA NO REBOOT

-)reinstall magisk with OTA feature to other slot REBOOT

got new OOS, magisk rooted, DONE

this won't be possible with TWRP in place?

as I'm no developer and I don't want to use custom kernels or ROMs, just the features of the root, what benefits do I have from TWRP?

for backups: currently I'm making a scheduled full backup with titanium backup pro every night, which will be uploaded to my google drive as well, so backup feature of TWRP would also not be must have feature for me.

thanks a lot again for the help from all of you guys!
