Clone Your Drive For Free -XXCOPY

I just found this pretty cool tool called "XXCOPY"

(Not "XCOPY" like you are used to in DOS, it is called "XXCOPY")

http://www.xxcopy.com/index.htm

I saved it to an external USB drive, then opened DOS.

I ran D:\XXCOPY> Install.bat (an installed to default directory of X:\Windows\System32\

Then I ran X:\Windows\System32> XXCOPY C:\ D:\Shift_BKUP\ /CLONE

and it backed up pretty much everything it could, to my external USB drive.

I had problems with the normal DOS XCOPY, as it can't do names over 255 chars (i.e. things in your Recycle bin) so I went on the hunt for a free way to backup files. (I decided a free way was best for me since Acronis is redundant once I get Window 7 to make a full restore image. (I just happened to "Crash" my PC before I made my image)

My Shift Crashed (after falling off my desk onto the floor) and I can't boot normally any longer, so I needed away to pull data off this 1.8"-never-gonna-find-a-connector-to-my-pc-40GB-HDD so that after I rebuild my drive, I can move appropriate stuff back.

Overall, this free utility came in Extremely handy, and I would recommend you install it via Windows or DOS anyway in case you need it.

Dear all,

Hello everyone,

I having troubles enrolling my phone as a company phone. For doing that I need to install the App Intelligent Hub and let the app create a working profile. Unfortunately granting the Gmail app admin privileges is not working as I described it in this thread.

I've read that this should work with the EU room, but it seems that because of the unlocked bootloader the device doesn't pass all the security checks and Google pay is not working as well which is another reason to switch again.

My last chance is to flash the official China stable room as the bug with the working profile should be fixed there. Does anyone know if I would have some major compromises after flashing the official China rom? Can I install google play services and all the stuff?

Really appreciate your help.

Hello guys,

I saw on the forum of the M20P that there's a tool used to update the device using a locked BL.

I wanted to know if anyone of you tried this, and if yes, can you tell us the result

I really don't know if this method could actually works on our device...

I'll answer to myself,

I tested the method just above, and yes I managed to update my M20 to 9.0.0.237

I followed this tutorial video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp4k3uFDxf4 , and i used the tool listed on the thread I linked in OP.

There's a screenshot of my phone showing the version and the security patch I have now.

Vodafone brand on the box, but software is unbranded, no vodafone crap stuff nor bootlogo, infact is C432

Just after turning on after hard reset I saw something branded, but 100% uninstallable

So, should I upgrade with this method, I'll definitely get rid of brand? and will I lose my data?

Of course I have locked BL, I used to have rooted phone since my first Android 2.1, so sad :(

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] vaeevictiss:
So i may have hosed my P2 (or at least the data i was trying to keep lol) but i was trying to update to the May update and i meant to remove the -w in the bat file but accidently double clicked. It opened and was probably only open for about a second or two before i closed it and now its stuck in the bootloader. all the options just restart the bootloader. Powering off actually powers off but turning it back on just goes straight to bootloader.

I finally was able to get the monthly to run through and finish flashing and i thought that would finally fix it but it no luck, still goes to bootloader.

Also, not sure but it looks like the device serial is different in the text on the bootloader screen.

pics for help: https://imgur.com/a/vChW2pM

EDIT and now i think i killed it for good. Read you could try to switch boot slots so i did fastboot --set-active=a and restarted and now it wont even power on.

EDIT2 so i got the battery icon to turn on when plugged in and if i hold the power button for 30 seconds it will vibrate then vibrate every 5 seconds or so if i keep holding. Already started the RMA process but just curious if theres anything else i could do. anyway to "force" it to load slot B again?

Hello, all

i am trying to live stream with screen stream mirror app from google play store,

and also streaming android internal audio because i am playing some video on my device,

i wonder if anybody get it to work.

what i have tried:

1: rooted oxygen 5.0.8 with magisk v19.1

2: installed internal video plugin as instructed by the mirror app

3: change audio preference to INTERNAL(ROOT), this option sometimes disappear and i have to toggle the internal plugin settings on and off and also rebooting devices in order to let it show.

4: when the audio preference is succeeded to be selected as INTERNAL(ROOT), hit start button to begin streaming, it gives me audio error, your devices is not compatible with audio preference please change

I am not sure if that's because the plugin not compatible with magisk or it's something wrong with the oneplus os.

i am desperate to make this work, so any clue or suggestion will be appreciated

Flash latest US998 KDZ (firmware image) with LGUP. Current latest is US998 20H Oreo. In LGUP, you can use "Upgrade" mode and keep all data. If that doesn't work for some reason, then use LGUP "Refurbish" mode, which will still update the firmware but will super duper factory reset the phone.

LGUP is attached to every KDZ thread I maintain, along with installation instructions.

Booting into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" might have bricked my device.

Hello. I am currently using, or, well, was using an Xperia XA1 Plus, running Android 8. Tried to get it rooted recently. However, I always had trouble booting into recovery mode. I had bootloader unlocked, went into fastboot and installed the recovery.img, but whether I held Vol Up or Vol Down + Power, nothing happened; the device just kept rebooting into normal Android. Then I went on the internet and looked around, and found out about "adb reboot recovery". And this is where I ran into the problem. After pushing the command, the device now doesn't seem capable of booting anymore. Any combination of buttons, whether Vol Up or Vol Down + Power wouldn't do anything.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] merlinwv:
Hi all,

not long ago the update to 10.0.8.0 seriously bricked my Mi A2 Lite.

I still do not really know why, but I have managed to get it alive again - mostly. The only thing no longer working is - the mobile phone part :(

When inserting a SIM, the IMEI gets shown as 00 (on both slots).

Reading the qcn via Qualcomm-Tools crashes the tool after 16kb - so I guess that part is corrupted also? (And no, I got no idea how a "normal" EDL-flash could do this).

And as I only learned about all this AFTER having the trouble - of course I have no valid qcn-Backup of my own :(

So, could anybody send me a backup of their qcn-File (of course, set your IMEIs to 000000000000)? I still have my IMEIs (as numbers), so this would probably enable me to revive my phone.

The only MiA2Lite qcn file I could find on the internet seems to be for another hardware revision ...

Afterwards, there should be modemst1.img and modemst2.img in the "Download" directory of your internal Storage

Of course, needs root to do it - or twrp ...

Many thanks!

Thanks for the link.

I flashed via EDL "from the beginning" (i.e. the first version), but I did not erase modem before ...

So, I'll definitely try that - it's not that I could "destroy" much more ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] merlinwv:
So - no luck :(

Even after following the instructions in the thread to the letter, my IMEI still shows as 0

But if that thread really worked for other people that means that it's probably NOT the modemst1/modemst2 partitions that got corrupted on my phone.

Of course, there are a LOT of other partitions that do NOT get flashed during a fastboot-Recovery (fsc, fsg, ssd, ...).

After learning all this, I made a backup of all of them for my other phone(s), but the Mi A2 Lite is still dead.

Ah, I guess if no one has a qcn-File it's time to re-lock the bootloader and send it in for repairs ... luckily I have a BQ X2 Pro that still works great ...
