[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] tijoro:
Hi, I would like to see what the bootloader unlock does exactly do to the raw flash storage. Older phones can be fully unlocked that way, without official permission. Obviously, I need to read out the raw partitions before and after unlocking. The easiest way is to get root and backup from MIUI.

Does anybody know how to root the stock MIUI without unlocking the bootloader? Re-locking does not count.

Does a bootloader-locked, unrooted, stock MIUI let you downgrade? An older ROM might have security bugs that let you root it.

Known pieces of the puzzle, if going the root route:

* Earlier Xiaomi devices let you unlock the bootloader by writing to the devinfo partition. Both the Redmi Note 3 (kenzo) and Redmi Note 4 (mido) still have the bits set at 0x10 and 0x18 as described in the link. But Xiaomi changed things starting with the Redmi Note 5 (whyred) - it has a bit set at 0x90 in an otherwise conspiciously empty devinfo partition.

* The Sony Xperia XZ1 compact can be rooted without unlocking. For that phone, it's motived by DRM.

* How to take complete control of pre-2016 phones. Today, this can serve as a tutorial. Beyond my abilities.

The second way would be to read out (and write to) the phone in EDL mode, or memory debug mode, ...., before and after unlocking the bootloader. Known pieces of the puzzle:

* Zeroing out the abl_a and abl_b partitions might grant read/write access to the raw flash as a mass storage device. This is memory debug mode, similar to EDL. If it doesn't work, you will need EDL to recover because you zeroed out fastboot.

* A list of points of attack on EDL authentication. Once you can bypass EDL authentication, it lets you read and write to raw flash. However, a direct attack on EDL authentication is beyond my abilites.

* Enter EDL mode with test point method or by grounding one of the pins next to the SystemOnChip.

Does anybody know how to bypass EDL authentication?

Does anybody know how to enter memory debug mode without root?

The third way would be to decompile the bootloader chain and see how each piece checks bootloader lock status. However, this is the least useful and probably least fun method. Known pieces of the puzzle:

* Description of the Snapdragon 845 boot process (older but more complete overview)

* Unlock status is checked both by the primary bootloader and the Android bootloader. The primary bootloader lives somewhere in memory and will let you into EDL if the bootloader is unlocked and you rebooted with "fastboot oem edl" etc. The Android bootloader image is the abl.elf file in the official update downloads. It will let you flash (or honor "fastboot oem edl") if it is unlocked.

* Memory debug mode is accessed through the XBL bootloader, i.e. the xbl.img and xbl_config.img files in the official update downloads.

If you found this thread trying to unbrick your phone, you need to go here instead.

Any app to bypass that? Voice bugs out on me a lot and I find it easier and faster to type first # of address or letter of a destination for it to pop up.

Thanks!

So i have been having issues with Facebook recognizing the quality of my images and videos.

I post alot of pictures and videos of my kids for family. I have recently noticed that all the vids, and pics from my S10+ are blurry or choppy.

Anyone else experience this?

Is there a setting in the FB app that maybe I have overlooked?

Chime in if you have same problem, or had the problem and figured a solution.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Lautta17:
Hi, first of all, sorry my eng. I have a problem with the gestures of MIUI 10, I come from OP 5T, and I used the gestures, that was from 3 positions from bottom (bottom left, center and right) on MI 9, the gestures (as u maybe know) are botton center, and the 2 sides from the screen, and I can't get use of it because I dont like. So here go the question

Is possible to change the gestures on the phone? Like a setting or sort of, without third apps?

I have the bootloader unlocked and rooted with last magisk, so im open to modules and rooted things.

Thanks.

Edit: I buy and installed Vivid N.G. but sometimes the app fail and I lose the gestures and have to reset the device because dont have navigation buttons enabled.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] coey0814:
I bought the same app(Vivid N.G.) and have been using it for a month.

The problem you're talking about is that the app has been forced to close.

The solution is...

First,

Make background settings unlimited in the setup app.

The default setting will be MIUI Battery Saver.

Second,

on the multitasking screen, press the navigation app on the lock icon to prevent it being forced to close.

I've been writing it for a month, just like I said.

I've never had a problem unless I intentionally shut down the app.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Lautta17:
Nice! I'll try, thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ^^rac:
Hi guys

Hope there is anyone that can assist. I rooted my device and installed TWRP recovery etc. I installed various custom ROMs, and was running with Ambassadi latest version (Cross device Section)

I then decided to get my device back to stock, downloaded the latest ODIN version XFA from Sammobile, and flashed it via ODIN. Once the device restarted, i noticed that there was no network. (No IMEI) I then tried to reflash the original PIE ODIN version DBT that i had downloaded. Same thing.

Luckily, i made a TWRP backup of my IMEI when i was on the DBT (PIE Version). I then booted the device, enabled dev mode, but there is no unlock OEM option. Current state is Prenormal. Which means i will need to wait 7 days.

The files i have is:

efs.ext4.win

efs.ext4.win.sha2

efs.info

recovery

How would i go about, to restore my device again? I hope i can flash TWRP, and then restore my IMEI via TWRP? Or is there any other way to try and fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ^^rac:
Wooooooop nevermind. Got it sorted. I managed to get TWRP installed again. Format data, reflashed custom. and done :):))
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] IZIPIZI135:
Hi everyone,i am asking for your help i am noob at this. So i wanted to install a custom rom on my s9+ (Pixle Expirience),after using the rom i installed a random android pie kernel,then the rom woudnt boot.So i installed a normal custom rom that i knew it worked.I flash that but i didint have mobile data and i coudnt see my IMEI and my flight mode was plain blue instead of gray(but my wifi worked like everything elese).Then i installed stock firmware via odin,still nothing.

Then i panic and found some software which with u can insert your IMEI,but i have accidentally wiped my efs.So now when i install firmware it is stuck at samsung logo,and in TWRP it says failed to mount /efs Invalid argument.So i ask u if u can guide me on what to do and how to get efs file.Your help is appreciated.Thank you.

HardSPL???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rumensat:
if you mean hard reset - not working

htc spl not working because of missing windows and active synch
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
no what he means is flashing hardspl (its a program that flashs a spl by olipro. it cid and sim unlocks ur device allowing u to flash rom of ur choice) on to ur device.

instructions on how to flash it can be found in kaiser wiki and also under the first sticky in kaiser rom development forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ach2:
Here is the link for HardSPL which you should use before any other ROM or Radio upgrade. You only need to flash it once.

And here is the link for the Kaiser WIKI where all or most information can be found.

Don't forget to make sure that when you flash a new ROM that you need to also have a compatible radio.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rumensat:
i can not use kaizerhardspl becose can no reach active synch !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
well u can flash hardspl from bootloader i believe but check hardspl thread on more info about that.

if some how u messed up ur spl and u weren't security unlocked than i don't know what should be ur next step. i know recently gsleon3 with jockyw's help was able to revive a bricked tilt. i would suggest searching for following thread in kaiser rom dev forum:

"its a true brick (task2a solved)"

that should bring up post on how they did and from there email gsleon3 to help u.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rumensat:
no chance to change 01_spl.nb via usb w/o synch , can flash only with hk rom but nothing after that

if i have tool like nbhextract but nbhcomlete to remake spl after that to turn it back in image may be will decide problem

when run kaizercustomruu with modifyed spl unit stay at 0% and not start flashing
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Harkadenn:
Oh boy looks like you need help from GSLEON3...again, he helped me and he even made a patch to fix easily RUUNBH with 1.92 or 93.

You need this 3 attachments. Sadly I can only attach one because the other two are to big, or something happens because it tells me it's an invalid file.

But anyways this is what you need.

1. The first one is called MTTY. This is a program that lets you go deep into the lowest level of your device and stuff, codes boot, etc. Don't play with it. Just follow the steps from GSLEON3 or any one here with lot of knowledge. With this one you can remove RUUNBH flags.

2. The second, you need to have the original ROM in case something doesn't work. You have to register here www.htc.com and get into software download, find the Original HTC ROM they offer.

3. And the third one is the HARDSPL with JUMPSPL that GSLEON3 made.

NOTE: Don't do what I did, which was that I run the ROM without any HARDSPL installed in my device first.

I hope I helped. It was hell to me when I had the same problem, or similiar.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rumensat:
thank you for explanation,

i try mtty but very different blocs formated as description.

in spl 1.93.00 mtty commands are different from explanation in mtty

in mtty i can go only via usb port

3 color screen i can go only pressing camera and reset

on other words no change.

i have mailed to GSLEON3 and waiting for instructions

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] cr33p3r1n1134:
Hello everyone!

I'm having quite the issue here. I was having an issue with my current ROM and wanted to reset it from scratch. So I went into TWRP and made a backup. Then I wiped dalvik, cache, system, and data. Next, I flashed the ROM as I did the last time. Now, the phone goes straight to recovery. I press "Boot to System", and it continues going back to TWRP.

Luckily I made a backup! So I went to restore the backup I made. And after it finished the process, it said it was successful. I restarted the phone, and it went back to TWRP. I have no idea what's going on here. Can you guys help me out?

At this point, it would be ideal to just recover the backup. If that's not possible, then I guess resetting it like I originally intended would be fine.

Thanks!

For Optmizing kernel and Ram management

NFS injector and FD.AI mod

Now you might be wondering why I used two Ram and kernel optrimizers instead of one the reason is that NFS aims for Optmizing cell for overall fluid experience be it in heavy games like pubg or asphalt 8

while FD ai realtime optimizer i.e. it optmizes Ur cell on the basis of how it is used so as to provide faster app openings ,fluid animations and more ? life and best part is it will keep Ur phone improving day by day based on type of user.

U will not able to understand it completely until you not experience it.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] xela19115:
Recently, I ran into a problem with my 2015 Sony BRAVIA XBR55X850C. It's still running Android 7 and an old Leanback Launcher.

If I try to re-arrange app tiles or delete/uninstall apps on the screen, I am unable to "coomplete" the operation because there is no DONE button visible to press on the screen. Also, this causes the wallpaper background to disappear and gets replaced with a blue-grey solid color. I have to go settings, apps and force stop the Leanback Launcher to get back the wallpaper.

This happened before and only way I was able to restore Leanback Launcher functionality is to Factory Reset the TV set but, as you can imagine, it is a major PIA. I'll try to capture the video and post it what's going on later on, if it's possible.

Any advice on what I can do to restore the Leanback Launcher functionality without the Factory Reset?
