[Thinkpad Tablet General] frankieuk:
I i had to reflash the firmware the correct one TB-X104F_S000024_180930_ROW_DCC. Anyway it wasn't booting at all before i flashed. Now it boots, shows the logo etc and constantly says Encryption unsuccessful!, so i reset it and factory reset it but nothing changes.

I have no idea where else to go, bootloader is locked and all i can do is flash the firmware. Would there be a way to remove this from the files within the firmware?. It seems like android is there in the background but i can't get away from that encryption unsuccessful screen!

Sorry if none of this makes sense.

Yo. I got the same tablet bro. Been trying to figure out a custom recovery for her. A stock ROM would be great to have and I haven't been able to find one anywhere. Might I inquire as to where you found yours? It would be a huge relief to know I can fix it if I break it lol.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] themontyhouse:
encryption

If you download the Lenovo MOTO smart assistant from Lenovo support it has a resque option. I also used that to root my tb-x104f. It downloads the original everything and if you take the boot image from the file it downloads and replace it in one that has been modified from magisk it will rescue it and you will have root also thatd what I did with mine
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gencom:
same problem here, reflashed with stock rom. and not resloved

Did you fix this issue?

I am having the same problem.

Thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] migcc:
Same problem here (my error reads "Decryption unsuccesful", but I think it's the same as yours).

After a few tries, I believe that it is a problem with the internet connection. After the factory reset, if I skip the wifi connection step, it starts normally. And it is completely usable. I can load pdf documents or apks by the usb from a computer and it runs correctly. But whenever I try to set the wifi connection, it updates something and it causes the tablet that the next time I turn it off, I find the error on the picture when turning on. It asks for a password and no matter which password you enter, then it delivers this message.

In resume, right now it is a completely functional tablet if you NEVER connect it to the internet and load anything you need via usb or bluetooth.

I tried to reset it with Lenovo Smart Assistant, but the result is the same.

I am looking for custom roms to try if it's something about the stock rom, but I haven't found any. Can anyone reccomend me a rom for Lenovo E10 X104F 2GB?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwiki:
Hello, I have a kindle fire hdx that I broke the screen and now need to get all my information from it into my computer. Before (Which I should gotten fixed , was that the screen was loose, so anytime I had the tablet, the screen would turn into that static like TV and it would be all jumbled. I "fixed' it by bending the screen back into place and it would be normal again. Bend it back too far where my touchscreen won't move or slide. The only thing that was responsive was on the upper right corner where I could move it. I didn't mess with it until I looked online about connecting a Bluetooth mouse and otg cable for the mouse. I tested USB on my tablet, no cursor was showing so I switched it with my other tablet and the cursor showed up. Is there anyway to get data of my tablet. I also have a security pin number for the kindle fire before I'm in the silk browser homepage.

[General Questions and Answers] carlosalvatore:
Hello,

I'll try to give all the details while keeping the long story short. :D

My moto C (xt1757) stopped working and I was forced to install again the stock rom. I never created a backup of the working phone before because I had no intention of flashing anything. But, when the problem occurred, the only thing I backed up, before starting, was the contents of /system/vendor/firmware.

Attempt 1. Custom ROM with TWRP.

Outcome: No flash was working using TWRP, all I got was a boot-loop.

Attempt 2. Custom ROM with SP Flash Tools.

Outcome: Again, boot-loops.

Attempt 3. Stock ROM with SP Flash Tools.

Outcome: Yet again, more boot-loops.

So, in the end, I decided to go the full monty with the phone and instead of just downloading the flash from the Stock ROM with SP Flash Tool, I used Format and Download instead. It worked :victory:, the phone was flashed and it booted.

I installed TWRP and rooted the phone again. All was happiness :cool:.

Until I noticed I was getting no signal from one SIM card :crying:. So I restored the backed up firmware (which was just the same thing from the stock ROM). Then I realized nvram stuff was deleted. At that point I didn't even knew what it was. So I did some research and was capable of creating the IMEI file MP0B_001 using two different tools, one was imei.386 from luckasfb's Fly_IQ255_Firmware_Build (here) and the other was the app GhostPhone (here).

I then noticed two more files in the same directory (/nvdata/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/). These are...

MT00A001

MT00B001

at the beginning I just ignored them, however IMEI (IMEIs, actually, my phone is dual SIM) never changed from 000000000000000 to anything.

So at some point I decided to get rid of them, so I backed them up and delete them. Then voilà!, IMEI was being read correctly by Ghost Phone. However, android's IMEI information passed from 000000000000000 to empty. :( Also IMEI SV passed from 04 to empty.

So I tried to first set MP0B_001 and then upload MT00A001 and MT00B001. By doing that IMEI was again 000000000000000 and IMEI SV returned to 04.

Both files are identical, except for the file name, and both are binary. Nonetheless, some text is readble

LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP WT6737M_65_Nn LWG_DSDS_COTSX

I suspect these two files act as a protection measure which prevents people from changing the IMEI. However, to the best of my knowledge, nobody has posted anything about them on the Net.

When I don't use those files, IMEI turns to "empty" according to android, even when Ghost Phone can read it properly (probably because it is just designed to decode MP0B_001) and WiFi MAC Address gets deleted (set as 00:00:00:00:00:00) every time the phone boots (/nvdata/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI is rewritten by something). On the other hand, when I do use them, WiFi's MAC Address is OK but now IMEI becomes 000000000000000.

So I am kind of stuck here. :confused:

Any help will be appreciated.

I am a linux user, so I would thank you more if you don't rely on Windows apps; but I am open to suggestions.

My best regards.
[General Questions and Answers] carlosalvatore:
This solved the issue for me. In a way, though.

Solution link

What is it? Well it is a working nvdata/nvram image that can be flashed using SP Flash Tools.

The important information here is the memory address where to flash nvdata.bin into my device (Moto C xt1557):

NVDATA=0x6b80000

The solution is posted for XT1756, but worked with my model too.

After flashing, both SIM cards were detected and WIFI MAC address was fixed. It was no longer 00:08:22:XX:XX:XX, but d0:04:01:XX:XX:XX. (Which is a valid vendor for the device: Motorola Mobility LLC, a Lenovo Company)

IMEI is obviously not my IMEI, but phone is working. So I will eventually find a way to change it.

After flashing I lost root, but TWRP image was intact, so I recovered ir fast.

Hope this helps somebody or myself in the future.

Tasker Clipboard Manager

by M.M.K​

Did you ever copy an important piece of text, suddenly copied another line over that?

Nothing to worry if you have a simple clipboard manager.

Especialy when you have access to the history from 3 years ago😉

Tasker Clipboard Manager:

1. Quick Settings clipboard shortcut, so you can access the clipboard manager anywhere. (Add shortcut from tasker settings)

2. Quick access to 7 recent clipboard entries you copied.

3. Access to Unlimited records of your clipboard history in a text file along with each entry date and time (so you can search)

4. Clipboard Manager Paste option (root needed, unrooted mates can use default android paste option)

5. No Tasker plug-in is needed.

I've been searching for a light and handy clipboard manager without asking too many permissions and I couldn't get along with the existing ones. So I made this simple clipboard using Mat Zolnierczyk's clipboard core file.

Also since I hate lots of plug-ins beside tasker, I made this clipboard manager based on Tasker only. No other plugins are needed.

- The history file is in /sdcard/android/clipboard.txt

How to set up?

Procedure is explained in the next post.

- Import the clipboard project file (attached to the post) in the tasker.

- Set up the project.

Never tried Tasker before? Give it a try.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] M.M.K:
How to import Tasker Clipboard Project (Set up)

------ Setting up the Clipboard:

1. Import the project in Tasker (no plug-ins needed),

To import a project in tasker, first disable the beginner mode in the UI Settings. Then press and hold on Home ? icon placed in the left bottom area of the app.

Now select import project. Choose Clipboard_by_mmk.prj.xml

2. Set up the Clipboard Quick Settings Tile in order to access Clipboard anytime,

Go to Tasker's preferences, ACTION tab, choose our Clipboard task in one of Tasker's Quick Settings Tasks.

Add Tasker's Clipboard Quick Settings Tile to your device quick settings.

3. Approve Tasker the permission to access and listen to device clipboard through ADB (required in Android 10+): (enter each line individually)

adb -d shell appops set net.dinglisch.android.taskerm SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_LOGS

adb shell am force-stop net.dinglisch.android.taskerm

Clipboard set up is done.

------ Please Note:

* If your device is not rooted, you can copy previous entries from the clipboard and paste it yourself manually, as clipboard Paste button only works with Root. Tasker doesn't have paste function without root afaik and using plug-ins would have been a hassle.

* Your clipboard history is stored at: sdcard/Android/clipboard.txt

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yccheok:
Problem Background

Currently, we have facing "Excessive network usage (background)" from Android Vital report. We're only " Better than 9% "

The app is a note taking app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yocto.wenote), which provides an optional feature - sync to cloud in background after the app close.

This is how we perform sync to cloud in background.

We use WorkManager.

In Application onPause, Schedule OneTimeWorkRequest, with constraint NetworkType.CONNECTED. The worker is scheduled to start with delay 8 seconds.

In case failure, we retry using BackoffPolicy.LINEAR, with delay time 1.5 hours.

The maximum number of retry is 1 time. That's mean, after the app close till the app re-open again. The maximum number of execution, of sync to cloud process is 2.

The size of data is vary, can be few KB till few hundred MB.

Analysis

The only information we have is https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/vitals/bg-network-usage .

We start the background sync job, 8 seconds after Application's onPause. During that period, will the app inside or outside PROCESS_STATE_BACKGROUND/PROCESS_STATE_CACHED? How can we avoid running inside PROCESS_STATE_BACKGROUND/PROCESS_STATE_CACHED?

What does it mean by "running in the background in 0.10% of battery sessions."? How can we avoid such?

Another assumption, is sync file is too large, and using too much data. Soon, we notice this assumption might not be true. We notice according to "Hourly mobile network usage (background)", the data size is from 1MB to 5MB.

[IMG="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fCIRc.png"]https://i.stack.imgur.com/fCIRc.png[/IMG]

Questions

My questions are

What is the actual root cause for such "Excessive network usage (background)" warning? How can we accurately find out the root cause.

How does other apps (Like Google Photo, Google Keep, Google Doc, ...) which perform background sync, tackle this problem?
