[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] kasa ssg:
Check for wear and scratches on the glass; feel the front glass, it should be very easy to glide your finger because of the oleophobic coating, if it's worn out your finger wont move as easily and it means someone used the phone before you; boot in download mode to check knox if it's 0x0. Other than that not much that can be done.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] moozer:
Go to Play store and search "Phone info Samsung". Install, open and tap the 3 bars on the top left. Select "Refurbishment Check".

Done. Your answer will be displayed clearly with extra info for you to check.

[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Hi

Almost just a week into my first Moto phone. Paid high for it and rejected a reasonable Huawei that was 25% cheaper because they stopped allowing boot unlocking.

Very impressed so far. Hardware is great although the sleek packaging, whilst feels nice, has me ****scared until the case I've coming in the mail (cannot buy accessories off the shelf in my area, much to my dismay) arrives.

I've seen the impressive 5-post articles by Explorer 4x4. They were a big factor in my choice to pay the extra cash for this phone.

Alas I'm a little nervously unsure of my next step.

Mainly I'd like to freeze / stop / possibly uninstall the bloatware I don't want.

What is the best full backup option, is it still Nandroid?

After that, is a Magisk root the safest / cleanest option to allow me to clean out that bloat I don't want?

Would appreciate any constructive advice.

Thanks
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] weazie:
Yes well, you seem to have previous experience in routing and de-bloating, so

1) Backup all apps with titanium backup or similar (I use titanium)

2) remove bloatware with titanium, system app remover or sd maid or the method of your choice. :) SD maid is good with removing remnants too.

So, nothing special in regards to previous versions. If you're about to remove some system apps, please check XDA forums if something has changed in that aspect. I have removed the ones that I always remove.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
Nandroids will not work on pie due to encryption issues(for now) but Google backups will and you can backup and restore apps+data with TiBu too. Migrate is in beta stages but looks promising. Unlike TiBu it also backups app permissions.

Thanks! Have never heard of TiBu. How do I find that as a search here and a Google search did not return useful results. Google Play?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Thanks!

Unfortunately I've fallen at the first hurdle / attempt. I'm unable to unlock the bootloader, let alone get root:

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

... just hangs without returning anything despite having toggled 'OEM Unlock' in Developer options.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] weazie:
Are you able to boot into bootloader? Does 'fastboot devices' show your device? Hint: Don't paste your IMEI here.

---------- Post added at 17:51 ---------- Previous post was at 17:47 ----------

TiBu = Titanium Backup
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Ah, had a suspicion it was a shortening for Titanium but it was too late at night for my brain to decode it :)

Yes, `fastboot devices` returns the device serial number and then the word fastboot.

I can also see the fastboot oem get_unlock_data command sent to the device via a line in the bootloader logs screen:

... however after several minutes, it's just hung. Tried the --verbose flag and still nothing :(:
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] weazie:
- Do You have the Motorola Drivers installed?

- Are You running the cmd in administrator mode? Try also Windows Powershell.

Other than that, I can't think of anything right now. Many people seem to have had this problem in older moto phones, but I didn't find a solution. Some user mentioned in Youtube comments that "this problem can be solved by jtag software, replacing bootloader" altogether. But sounds like a drastic solution.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Yes. Installed them. Latest version I believe.

Yes, originally probably not but I tried this on instinct but no difference, unfortunately.

Just tried this, unfortunately no difference.

Thanks for scratching the old noggin for me.

Personally I'm unfamiliar with JTAG other than just seeing the acronym here and there. So would be an even more drastic solution for me ?

I was wondering if it would potentially have anything to do with me disabling some of the Moto apps. Doesn't seem likely given it's fastboot mode I'm writing in, rather than full blown Android.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] weazie:
No, that doesn't affect the thing you're trying to do.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Thought I had a handle on a possible solution:

- Remove a universal ADB driver (clockworkmod) I had installed from way back in the day

- Remove a Google generic driver

- Reinstall (repair) Motorola drivers

- Reinstall ADB fastboot

- Reboot laptop

Nothing ??☹️

Settings, System, Developer options, OEM unlocking (Allow the bootloader to be unlocked): On

Hmmmm

Is it possible this is something to do with the phone's regional designation? Maybe Motorola do not allow unlocking in my region.

Or perhaps it's something to do with the latest software. I did update the phone. Silly me, I still feel updates are often good for security and forget how often features get corrupted or removed these days.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] weazie:
You are on the right track here. Clean out everything from device manager that could possibly conflict, begin from a clean slate (including SDK, adb, fastboot installation) and follow [MENTION=2424134]Xplorer4x4[/MENTION]'s instructions to the letter. I know it's frustrating, but if that doesn't helplet's think of other solutions. By the way, there are two methods to install the Moto Drivers. One seems to install just the driver (v.6.40 for me) and the other the Moto Device Manager (2.5.4). I did install just the driver.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Thanks for your support. Again, thought I might have had a handle on it: USB debugging was off. Enabled it, no difference.

Back to the history a little (not in chronological order):

- Removed Universal ADB driver:

- Drivers came from here:

https://motorolausbdriver.com/wp-content/uploads/Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_v6.4.0.zip

I used the 64 bit version, not the 32.

- ADB and fastboot installer from here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/h...ster/versions/adb_fastboot_installer-1.2s.exe

When I installed / ran Motorola Device Manager, I expected some visible GUI software but I guess I must have had the wrong expectations because all it has ever done is run one single dialog that checks for newer software for the phone and fails. I posted that in a different thread.

Aside from not starting from a clean Windows install, I think I did follow Explorer's method. But I'm not perfect though neither is Motorola, seemingly :)

I guess I'll uninstall the Motorola stuff and try to start from a cleaner Windows install. Hell, maybe even starting in Safe Mode might be easier.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] weazie:
Yes You're doing it exactly like I was. Hmm.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Well, the plot sickens, it seems.

Yet again, thought I was possibly on to a solution. Found these:

Previous / temporary phones there. Uninstall those devices and surely I'm right? Nope.

Then, re-installed the 64 bit drivers. Surely that will take care of these:

Nope :(

Now I'm in this exact situation that the uninstalling of Motorola Device Manager 2.5.4 warned me about:

So it would see that perhaps the Motorola Device Manager, which I have not re-installed, is actually needed for drivers. I'm not even convinced the files in this zip:

https://motorolausbdriver.com/wp-content/uploads/Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_v6.4.0.zip

are actually legit at all. I decompressed the 64 bit MSI file and it doesn't look like any driver files I've seen before. No .inf files for one thing.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] weazie:
I think it is not needed as I don't have it installed. What's peculiar is that I probably did the same installation as you, but my device tree looks like this:

And I don't remember ever installing LeEco device drivers? Now I'm just confusing You more. :)
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Well, it seemed to take an reboot, and installing the Motorola Device Manager (not the other drivers) but I appear to have gone another 2 steps forward and one back.

Now have that but still fastboot oem get_unlock_data hangs :(

Need to head to bed now (forgot to post, just previewed, last night!). Maybe I will have better luck tomorrow.

Thanks for your kind assistance!
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Not sure if it's lacking drivers (and perhaps a reboot) but I've gone from three "Moto g(6) plus" devices listed in Other devices, with yellow exclamation symbols, to the same with question mark symbols.

In both cases the phone is not accessible during general windows use ☹️

Will have to keep researching about 4 to 6 hours from now.

UPDATE: re-installing Motorola Device Manager fixed the lack of files access.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
I am a bit confused at what your problem is. Not sure fastboot has a verbose switch. I've never had a reason to try.

If everything works now leave as is. If you ha e issues start off by removing all drivers for Moto, and remove adb and fastboot too. Then reboot computer. Install just moto dtivers(moto manager is for older phones and Usless to us other than the drivers) and adb/fastboot. Reboot computer. Now connect phone. Then do what you need to do.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jandroidian:
Fair enough, things have gone off topic but I hoped this was ok because it's very hard to get attention and a thread going.

I just want to get the bootloader unlocked :) This has been so hard, I've given up on thinking beyond that point.

According to the --help flag it seems to. I was just trying to get it to do anything rather than hang :)

Makes sense.

This issue came up after Dirty Flashing CypherOS (a month ago), but still persist today with PixysOS: both the ROMs haven't any Bluetooth bugs in the source code.

[Off-topic] VRaman1337:
I have a Sony music system DHC-AZ55D. It basically consists of two speakers (with optional 5.1 surround speakers that I do not have) and a main unit that handles interface. I connected the audio IN to my TV so I could simply set the system to Video mode and it would play sound from the TV. The satellite connection was connected to TV through HDMI and the Sony system was connected through this cable.

My problem is, the System no longer works. I tried to take it to a service center but they couldn't do anything about it. The speakers work fine though, so I now want to route the speakers directly to my TV. The speakers use a weird proprietary jack that doesn't connect anywhere but the interface. It has a black cable and a red cable like all speakers, and they can be detached from the jack. I looked online for information on how to solder speaker cables to one speaker, unlike my Left and Right speaker situation.

Here's where I'm stuck now. How can I use both my speakers with proper Left and Right channels on my TV without the main system?

TLDR

Two speakers, both have black and red wires

Takes audio from TV through 3.5mm jack

Separate stereo channels

Consistency preferred over simplicity

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone tell me does the secure folder works properly even after rooting the galaxy s8+?

Also is there secure folder option in Ice renovation Rom of s8+ :confused:??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Modifying your phone will trip your Knox.( Eg: Custom recovery, Root )

So things like secure folder and other Knox related apps/feactures will not work again. There is no fix for a tripped Knox.

Custom firmware like renovate ice may mask a tripped Knox but you will still not be able to use any Knox apps like secure folder.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] mulderfbi:
Hi,

I have an MTCD unit with PX3 1GB SoM (see attached picture)

I would like to do some upgrade and get some more RAM for it, or buy a complete coreboard with PX5 and 2GB RAM

There is a seller on aliexpress that sells a coreboard but i on mine i written MTC_RK3188_REV0.3 and on the coreboard that is available from the seller it is written: HCT-PX5-REV8.0(LPDDR) see attached pictures.

Can someone tell me if i can swap mine with the one from the seller? I really need the 2GB RAM upgrade but i cannot find the right chips to replace mine so i decided to go ahead and buy the whole board (SoM)

Thanks,
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] cupi1234:
Yes you can swap.

But instead of 2GB buy a 4GB coreboard:

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] mulderfbi:
That`s why i am asking and not rushing to spend 90-100USD for something i am not sure it will work with my unit!

I actually don`t see why the boards that are for sale with the PX5 and 2-4GB would not work if swapped with mine but prefer to get some users opinion from those who actually did the swap already.

Not all the links at aliexpress say that your HU needs to be WITSON in order for the swap to work, even though they look the same.

I really need the 2GB upgrade, but it seems impossible to me to find the compatible chips to swap mine with the 2GB upgraded ones.

The ones i find made by the same company have a difference in two of the letters in the marking which i am not sue could be ignored, maybe it could be ignored....i don`t know for now.

H5TC8G63AMR	H5TQ4G63AFR

The F and M difference is what bothers me the most since F is FBGA SDP (Single Die Package) and M is FBGA DDP 2CS (Dual Die Package)

I see on the net upgraded memory with different brand chips, but the threads are very old and they were making a group order back then for those chips, so it`s a no go.....
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] skewty:
I am in the same position as you. I have a 1GB board and want to upgrade. Did you buy the Witson board? Did the swap work for you?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] mulderfbi:
No, the more i think of it, the more i think it`s better to buy a new unit with 2 or even 4GB of RAM and way better CPU. The price for just the board is around $100, and just to gain 1GB of RAM.......not worth the money!

I would do a chip swap if i had the chips, but it seems that they are hard to find to as a spare part.
