[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
Hello everybody,

I'm wondering about the possibility of flashing TWRP not just in the recovery partition, but also to the recovery backup partition. As sometimes (like when dm verity is enabled) the phone may overwrite TWRP with stock recovery, there's an high risk of erasing the whole memory when you try to boot TWRP. I think it could be useful to have TWRP in both partitions. Even in the case something in TWRP doesn't work (never happened to me, but it's a possibility), and we don't have the original recovery, we could still use fastboot to flash the stock recovery.

Does it make sense or am I somehow wrong? If it's possible, can it be done by just making a TWRP flashable zip, editing the updater-script file to make it flash the recovery in the backup partition?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] SnowFuhrer:
I don't think there is a recovery backup partition.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
Here it is: [IMG="list of /dev/block/ partitions"]https://i.postimg.cc/3rn2M2T0/Capture-2019-02-17-03-15-35.png[/IMG]

If it wasn't there, how could the phone be able to restore the stock recovery by itself?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] SnowFuhrer:
Well, if that was a backup recovery, then it should work to dd TWRP there.

I was always under the impression that the stock recovery was stored in the boot image somewhere.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
I've prepared this script for flashing: considering it's the first time I mess up the updater-script for such an essential part of the system, can you confirm if it is correct, considering I'd put the TWRP image in the zip as recovery/recoverybak.img ?

ui_print("Flashing TWRP to recovery backup H850");
package_extract_dir("recovery", "/tmp");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0777, 0777, "/tmp");
ui_print("Verifying ZIP contents...");
ui_print(" ");
apply_patch_check("/tmp/recoverybak.img", "9edc062fc9483652a9c57d185447a92a36d0f603") || abort("\"/tmp/recoverybak.img\" has failed verification.");
ui_print("Flashing. this might take a bit...");
ui_print(" ");
package_extract_file("recovery/recoverybak.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recoverybak");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" Finished... ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Zip by Tremal Naik");
ui_print("Template by autoprime - thx");
ui_print(" ");

i've also checked that both recovery partition and recoverybak partition are the same size, about 41MB, so twrp should fit.

Flashing with dd, according to the TWRP website can be done with

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/recovery

so replacing "recovery" with "recoverybak" should do the job.

Hi,

I hope that I am allowed to ask for this, I've checked around and can't find it anywhere and can't see anything that says I shouldn't ask!

I have co-pilot 6 (all legit, it came with my original mda vario from Tmobile UK) but have lost the CD's and the installation sd card got corrupted. I need to get it working again on my kaiser.

Does anyone have the installation cab that they could email to me or make available to download? As I said, I have a proper product key for it (i believe it wouldn't work without this anyway).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grzesiek11:
Hi. My cousin asked me to root his SM-G531F and flash custom ROM to it. So, I come to him and tired to flash TWRP, just like I did on my SM-G350. But there's a problem - flashing fails, and there's a message "Custom image (recovery) blocked by FRP lock" or something like that. We rebooted (by taking battery of) phone and checked "OEM unlock" in dev settings. Tired to flash again - same message. IDK what more can we do. I don't want to brick his phone.

Also, when I searched for "FRP lock" there were no problem like ours, but lots of devices in bootloop with this message AFTER sucessful flash of custom ROM... That make me think about this all the day. I NEVER eccountered problem like that, but I never had so new phone, only old and easy-flashable ones. Is FRP lock dangerous? Do I need to do something to not brick his phone?

I found two types of slimiar looking locks - FAP lock and FRP one. Mine is rather FRP, I think I can read. What they really are and how they differ?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemirtingas:
FRP: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/frp/

FRP Just locks your phone if you alter the boot or recovery image and you had a google account registered. To unlock it you have to wipe data (factory reset) and reflash stock boot.img and recovery.img before using it again. If your cousin wants to flash my ROM (lineageos-13.0) he'd better not, its not stable and he will encouter random reboots and codecs bugs. The best thing to do is to remove FRP from his phone and flash Magisk (a root manager like SuperSU) and debloat it.

For more information, find the Grandprimevelte group on Telegram.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoiZerty:
I think I'm having the exact same problem as OP, the thing is that when you flash twrp and the magisk on the phone with FRP disabled (no google account) it works just fine, but if you choose to add a google account to the device later you get a bootloop. If you try flashing with a google account logged in on the phone it doesn't let you (same as OP).

Is there any way to add a google account on the device after flashing twrp and magisk without enabling FRP lock? Thank you
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemirtingas:
Yes, you must install a boot.img without frp. Then you will be able to use a custom boot/recovery and root your phone without problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sinisin:
I've noticed that a couple of the carriers are rolling out different firmware versions. CSAA and CSAB for the Pie Updates. Anyone on XFinity that got the official OTA Pie update that can tell me if its CSAA or CSAB please? I don't want to miss future OTAs because my firmware isnt correct. I'm running the update.zip CSAA universal leaked update. If I need to be on CSAB I gotta get to flashing back to Oreo and taking the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Who pushed CSAB? The only carriers to release Pie in the US pushed CSAA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sinisin:
To be honest I'm not exactly sure where I saw it. It appeared to be TMO or Verizon but it wasn't really clear(I was skimming). Pretty sure it was from one of the other Android specific forums, don't wanna name names here. The article said they were adding a feature other carriers were not yet. The SS they had, had CSAB for Firmware Version. If it was Verizon I may need the same firmware as XFinity Phones are always the same firmware as Verizon.

In my catching up on Android stuff today I see about the one firmware across all the carriers tho. That should be awesome. All the dev's can work on it all together instead of being locked to working on their carriers version. Should make for good ROMs and amazing themes. And make for much faster updates from Samsung. Hopefully Treble gets them on track.

If I find that darn article again I'll send you the link but its MIA. I cant find it anywhere but I know I saw it. It was in my Google Feed which has as many Android news sources as I can pack in to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
You sure it wasn't referring to the S9/+? Because all the carriers released CSAB for those devices. I would be shocked if T-Mo and Verizon released a different build than ATT and Sprint for the Note 9. It defeats the purpose of the carrier switching firmware.
[MX Player] DualJoe:
For USB jump drives, external HDDs and transparent network shares, or in other words, folders that come and go it would be most useful to have a persistent thumbnail cache so they don't get purged by any automatic routine (like it is currently). This could be done by simply bypassing any deletion routines and only do purging cache when the user initiates it manually (and bringing all folders up first so they get noted). This code path could be offered as an option so it doesn't brake current implementation and everyone should be happy.
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
Thanks for your feedback. However, we would like to let you know that it is intended behaviour as the internal storage of the many devices are limited. Moreover, whenever the path of the USB device changes, the app may generate a new thumb and the old thumbs will remain forever which may occupy a considerable amount of storage.

However, we will share your concerns with our relevant team for further review and working towards providing a better workaround for you.
[MX Player] DualJoe:
That's why i explicitly mentioned the option for 'manual purge cache'. You press a button and the app deletes all files/folders that are not available/present (at this exact moment) so old files do vanish reliably.

Technically, this function is present already. MXPlayer remembers not available folders for some days already. Its this period of time that should be made configurable to the user. I probably would set it to 3 month or '0' (manual purge).
[Amazfit] Lunov:
Hi gents,

I was checking a bit and you can use .gpx files to manually upload your activity to runtastic and strava (possibly also others).

You can save the activity gpx and then manually upload it. Since I am no android dev, would it be possible to automate this?

Amazmod is already linked with phone and has ability to xfer data via air, not sure what would be needed to upload it tho.

By delivering this mod you would be a hero to many <3
[Amazfit] fzelle:
As you can directly upload to Strava, that is done.

Then you can use fitnesssyncer to automatically upload to garmin connect.

If you then connect garmin in your runtastic, everything is done automatically.
[Amazfit] Lunov:
I dont think you got my point. Sync to strava is not direct but over cloud and sometimes takes days.

Second, I dont have nor I want another /garmin/ app just to sync it with target app I want.

I appreciate the workaround, I just would like the simple app more tho.
[Amazfit] fzelle:
You didn't state that in your post.

1. Strava takes that long when Strava is down, normally it is instantly.

2. Runtastic doesn't allow anything. They don't even allow the direct connection from those sync sides.

The only thing you can do is manually export the TCX and Upload manually to runtastic.

Procedure for upgrading is the same no matter what carrier. Your options are:

2. Download the 1CSAA full firmware file from Venom's thread and flash it in ODIN

A few months ago, the usb connector piece at the bottom of my Wizard fell out. I took the phone apart, and lost the spring that is used to open the back piece for the battery compartment. After feeling retarded, I continued to take it apart. After the usb connector fell out completely, I noticed that the only way to fix it was to solder the piece back on. So, my natural reaction was, "skrew you phone", and I left it alone for a month or two. I'm tired of looking at it doing nothing on my dresser. I would like to know if there is another way to charge it. For example, an external charger that doesn't require the use of the broken usb connector.

[General Questions and Answers] Tzasa9:
Okay, happy post Vday. :good:

So, Im trying to root an unlocked Blu J1, running Marsh. 6.0.

I recently reset it, due to perf. issues & now trying to root.

My setup is Win7, w/ the latest Usb drivers through Sdk & UniversalAdb. I have Usb debugging active on the phone & the device shows at command level with Adb devices & in Fastboot mode**Ive unlocked the bootloader on the phone itself, & then xferred the Twrp.img files different times.

The twrp files were the latest 2 off the site Twrp.me as of 02/15. Its a successful transfer on fastboot, which is good. but when I go to restart, it shows as stock recovery studio_j1_6.0/user/release-keys but not the touch responsive Twrp. ..

I eventually want to use Su or Magisk zip to gain root. The phone remains bootloader unlocked which is good. I've tried the Adb command, adb root, and then went through these steps, -still nothing. Im on the hunt for recent clockwork mod, to try that way, only ones are like '11 or'12. :confused:

So, is the stock recovery hard coded. -it doesnt have 2 separate partit-I ran a partit check just in case. I also went to grab the omnirom androidrecovery 6.0 off Github at github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/tree/android-6.0, but its .zip. And when I apply updates through Sd card update in stock recovery, I get install aborted across the board on any .zips.. Im on the waiting list for Kingroot to add my device. so thats good.

Either way Android SU shows as not rooted once fully on.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.
