Hi guys,

I recently tried to replace a cracked screen and encountered more problems i need to fix.

1) front selfie camera isnt Working. I think i accidentally ripped the ribbon cable at the corner. Is this salvagable? I cant find any replacement parts for this either.

2) i cant seem to plug in the black and white signal cables in the mothboard back in. I get the feeling i've pulled out the port when i took them out and now can't put them in. Could I solder these parts in? What are these signal cables used for?

Hi!

First of all, this is a truly amazing guide. The work done is incredible.

I am in a similar situation, although the details are different: my phone is a Oneplus 5, and it got bricked on Android Pie (stock OOS 9). I have an image of the userdata partition (all other partitions as well actually), it is FBE encoded, I used a PIN which I know. Some questions that you might be able to help with:

1) My userdata was encrypted on a stock ROM, bootloader locked (no root). Your guide obviously requires rooting. Can that even work? Would the phone have access to the necessary TEE functionality?

2) The first significant difference I run into is that vold is missing in the locations you suggested. All the directory names in /misc are encrypted. Any ideas?

3) Also, I do not see support for the "force_no_inline_enc" in busybox (or on Ubuntu). Could not find any documentation either. Could you explain what it does? Or provide some reference? The image mounts successfully without it in my case.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lkytal:
Thanks for this incredible guide. However my case is somehow different, I'm wondering whether you could give me some suggestion, thanks!

My phone got bricked after flashing a new ROM, thus I erased the /system and /data, expect my internal storage. After that, I can't decrypt my internal storage any more. The command 'twrp decrypt XXXXX' does not work, too.

So here I know my pin but can't decrypt, follow your guide, I can see /data/unencrypted folder, but /data/misc is not there, what can I do? Thanks.

Besides, running vdc always gives 'Segmentation fault', which I have no idea.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxy_xda:
Hi [MENTION=9730723]amk43[/MENTION],

1. I'm not sure whether this method will work, because the implementations of TEE are different. But I've known that some version of TWRP for Snapdragon 835 devices supports decrypting data partition (i.e. it allows users to enter password/pattern inside TWRP and then users can access the encrypted files). Based on this, I think the decryption is possible. I would suggest you to have a try using my steps or try to work with such kind of TWRP (https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-pie-encryption-t3837342)

2. Have you installed "global device key" before seeing the encrypted directory names in /misc ? The encryption policy might be applied to the entire /misc so it looks different to my example. Another possible reason is, Android 9.0 has introduced Metadata encryption, which makes things more complicated. (https://source.android.com/security/encryption/metadata) I'm afraid the mechanism might have changed, since it would store the encryption key in another partition called "metadata". Check whether this partition exists first. If your device has enabled Metadata encryption, additional steps will be required.

3. I double checked the AOSP source code and didn't find this option. I think this option is introduced by HUAWEI and not available in other OS. Actually this option is inside this file: (https://github.com/Ante0/MHA-NG_EMUI5.0_opensource/blob/master/kernel/fs/f2fs/super.c) line 126.

So you probably don't need to use "force_no_inline_enc".

Finally, good luck with your files.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxy_xda:
Hi, [MENTION=5880342]lkytal[/MENTION],

If you can't find /data/misc , it means you've lost your "CE key", which is used to decrypt internal storage (/data/media/0). Unfortunately, I think there is no way to get it back, unless you can recover deleted files, which is difficult and almost impossible.

I also have no idea why vdc crashed with 'Segmentation fault'.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cofface:
hi,my system hadn't vdc,can i used compiled vdc ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxy_xda:
Hi, I think it's a bit weird that your system does not have vdc, since vdc is a basic component of android. Basically vdc only communicates with a running vold process through a socket (some vdc commands will be directly sent to vold). The way of communication might vary in different versions/implementations (refer to its source code). I'm not sure whether it is going to work if you compile vdc from source code. You might have to deal with strange issues when compiling or running it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bl4ckluna:
Amazing Guide.mine same as your question,i have full root access now.but it is android 9,i cant find Global DE key /data/unencrypted/key ,any idea？
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxy_xda:
Hi, bl4ckluna

I suspect the location of keys has changed. I have a quick check of the vold source code of Android 9.0, it seems to change a lot. I can no longer find "unencrypted keys". Instead, a "systemwide_volume_key" (which locates in /data/msic/vold/volume_keys) presents. Besides, Android 9 has introduced metadata encryption, which makes it much more complex. I have no idea how the encryption works before reading all the vold source code. You can probably check the source code here:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/vold/+/refs/tags/android-9.0.0_r45/Ext4Crypt.cpp

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/vold/+/refs/tags/android-9.0.0_r45/KeyStorage.cpp

Does somebody update this script also for Android 10 ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ștefan Radu:
Hi, and thank you for the effort put into this. Despite software having changed since then I'm wondering if you could provide any kind of insight with my problem.

I'm on a Galaxy s10e (exynos) with LineageOS+MicroG (Android 12), which I broke while trying to install a magisk module. The device is in a bootloop ever since. I've tried many things which didn't work, o now I'm just trying to recover the data which is encrypted. That's how I landed here. I can access the device via adb while it's booting, and that's how I've been interacting with it. Following your guide I dumped the /data partition on an external SDCard, mounted it in the device and looked around. The thing is, everything is decrypted besided /data/media/0. So I'm stuck at stage 3 of the process.

When I try to run `vdc --wait cryptfs unlock_user_key 0 0 "" ""`, it fails with

ProcessState D 12-27 12:31:36 32158 32158 Binder ioctl to enable oneway spam detection failed: Invalid argument
vdc V 12-27 12:31:36 32158 32158 vdc.cpp:66] Waited 0ms for vold
vdc E 12-27 12:31:36 32158 32158 vdc.cpp:216] Raw commands are no longer supported

From my understanding, manually decrypting doesn't work anymore. The data is all there, and from my understanding so are all the keys. It should be able to be recovered, right?

I'm stuck and don't know what else to try. Has anyone got any insight?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxy_xda:
Hi Ștefan,​

Sorry I also have no idea for this. Many vdc commands were deprecated since a few Android versions ago. I was tracking the source code of lock screen and end up found vdc, which did work in Andorid 7. But Google seemed to make many changes and I'm not sure how it works now. (please also read the top of this article which I just updated)

If your device got a bootloop because of a magisk module, you can also try the following things:

1. try adb shell during the bootloop and quickly remove the module that causes the issue (usually under /data/adb/*)

2. try a TWRP which supports data decryption through a lock screen passwrod and remove the module. Or you can guess which encrypted folder is for the module/magisk and remove it. (You can remove files even if they are encrypted)

3. unpack and (un)patch the kernel (initrd) so that magisk stops working or not loading modules.

Thanks for taking the effort to write this down! I am trying to open a userdata backup from my bootlooping OnePlus 8 Pro.

Following your steps, I get this error

255|OnePlus8Pro:/ # busybox mount -t f2fs -o ro,force_no_inline_enc /storage/406E82FF6E82ED4A/userdata_after_crash_for_testing.img /data/computer
mount: can't setup loop device: No such file or directory

Though both the file (the image) and the directory (/data/computer) exist. Any idea why this basic task does not work?

By the way, on the phone these settings are used to mount the userdata partition:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxy_xda:
Hi,

Looks like the loop device wasn't set up correctly. In order to mount an image file, a loop device has to be set up to simulate a block device for the file. Can you try setting up it manually, for example,

losetup -f --show /storage/406E82FF6E82ED4A/userdata_after_crash_for_testing.img

and see what device is printed out, then try to mount the device.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alecxs:
use another busybox or toybox losetup with -s flag. also for mounting f2fs ro you should add disable_roll_forward to mount flags (noload for ext4) required for mounting dirty file systems.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] HaTeNL:
Thanks both! I see I already have toybox installed, and I also tested toybox-ext (for Magisk), but unfortunately I get errors again.

I tried

losetup -f --show /storage/406E82FF6E82ED4A/userdata_after_crash_for_testing.img

with output "/dev/block/loop31"

So now I do the following and get an error again.

toybox-ext mount -t f2fs -o ro,force_no_inline_enc,disable_roll_forward /dev/block/loop31 /data/testdata
mount: '/dev/block/loop31'->'/data/testdata': Invalid argument

With dmesg I see

Maybe because the f2fs filesystem is encrypted? Do I need other mount options?

To be clear, what I used to backup the userdata was dd

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravymister:
Hi,

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I've done a relatively thorough search and I can't find a solution to this problem.

I have an S6 (SM-G920F), It was playing up for a few weeks before this, not charging well, and what not, thought it was a cable/hardware issue. Then it stopped working entirely. Initially when it was plugged into the wall it would say it was 91% charged, but if you tried to turn it on it would turn off, and reboot into the charging screen.

I've done quite alot of reading and I've ended up flashing it with Odin (I have a single .md5 file, which i've loaded onto the phone via AP) using the most recent FIrmware UK EE for the SM-G20F. This was successful, however now it only loads the Black screen with white text Samsung S6 powered by android screen and then goes blank and back to the white text screen.

I downloaded an alternative firmware (the one previous version), but this has had the same effect. I've tried to repartition with odin, but this fails.

1.) Is there anyway I can fix this?

2.) If not Is there anyway to remove files whilst in downlod mode?

3.) If I cannot fix it or recover my data, is there anyway to wipe the data securely from my phone so I can sell it for parts?

At present, I can't access recovery mode, only download mode. But whilst Odin communicates with the phone in download mode, I can't seem to access my files from explorer?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King-V:
1. I would say you'd have to clear cache, immediately after flashing the firmware with Odin, but to do that, you'd have to get to Recovery Mode first...

Why can't you get to it? Does it just start trying to boot nornally? Because if so, it's just a matter of timing it. What I do is... hold power+home+voldown to get to the screen that asks me if I want to get into Download Mode, I press cancel, and immediately start holding power+home+volup until I see the bootsplash screen, and release the power button but keep holding home+volup, and it gets me to Recovery every time, even when I have difficulties such as this.

2. Not that I'm aware of. BUT you could flash TWRP with Odin, and if you then can manage to get to Recovery, you just need to plug your phone into a computer, and your phone will show up in the computer as a device/disk and you can freely remove stuff from it.

If... IF this were to work, I would suggest downloading a stock-based ROM and flashing it. It's far more likely to work properly and bootup without issue than the firmwares you can get, and it's far less much of a headache to do.

3. Nope. There are apps that can wipe data securely (such as Shreddit which does it according to military standards), but it can't be done from Download Mode. There may be some script that could do it in Recovery Mode, but I doubt it.

I mean... technically... you could flash TWRP, go to Recovery, move to your PC all the stuff you want to keep, select the wipe option in TWRP and then transfer randomly generated data from your PC to your phone until it's full - there are many apps that can generate such data. It's not something you could pass off as very very secure, but it should suffice.

I seem to always keep going to trying TWRP - so, you know, give it a shot.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravymister:
Thanks for your reply! So after flashing it goes straight back into the boot loop. Weirdly if its plugged into my laptop it spend about a second or two on the "Samsung Galaxy S6: Powered by Android" screen before plunging into darkness and shortly after repeating the same message. However if I plug it into the wall it spend over twice as long on that screen before repeating the cycle. It never goes any further.

I've tried your suggestion about perhaps its timing for recovery mode, but even if I go straight from cancelling download mode to trying the power, up and home key it doesn't go to recovery. I've tried a variety of timings both plugged into my laptop and plugged into the wall to no avail. If the phone isn't plugged in, it literally won't do anything whatsoever, won't even hint at turning on.

So Next I tried flashing it with TWRP via Odin and nothings changed, exactly the same bootloop and I still can't get into recovery mode.

I'm starting to think that sadly this phone my be beyond repair! Thanks for your help though, much appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinicius_guerra:
Hi! I usually run out of my bootloops like this:

try this:

1: go to download mode, and press Power + home + volume —

2: As soon as the screen turns black, continue pressing Power and home, quickly release "volume —" and press "volume +". This will get you into recovery mode.

It always worked for me, so I wish the same for you. Good luck! (And sorry for my bad english)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravymister:
Hi Vinicius,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it didn't work, I even tried flashing it back to a standard ROM from TWRP, but it still didn't do anything, just back to the Samsung logo and the loop continues ever more!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melioetta Zyguard:
Hi, I have this problem as well.

Originally I had TWRP and root flashed into my phone but for reasons I needed to remove root.

So I followed the Odin route stated here "Mobikin how to remove root from android" (I can't post links but this should be the top result when googling)

However I didn't know if the recovery/boot should have went into AP or BL on the Odin menu and googling didn't give me any answers so I may have tried both....

Right now I tried flashing TWRP and I can't seem to boot into TWRP as well.

I was able to get into recovery mode but clearing data/cache didn't fix it for me.

EDIT: I managed to flash in another stock rom and it boots into the SAMSUNG logo but gets stuck there. I already went into recovery mode to delete data and cache partition but it still doesn't boot.

Same experience. For all those 6 years that I used this device, the wifi was okay until now.

But it is still bootlooping. I think this is the sign that I need to replace my phone IF I couldn't find a fix to this.
