I tried backing up the userdata.img, but that kept filling up my device storage. It was going beyond 19GB in size. So I cancelled the operation.

Enjoy these files, they will be useful for ROM porting, system restore, or system downgrade.

Editing these files can lead to a brick or a non booting state. So be careful.

I pulled all of these files from my device's system partitions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] turtleletortue:
What did you do to dump these? Did you use dd to dump them or any other method? I dumped a few partitions from my BNTV460 a while back, but I'm unsure if I did it properly, so I was curious of how you dumped it from your BNTV650.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] secretwolf98:
I temp rooted the Nook. Then I pulled the firmware files with ADB.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tgp1994:
I saw that global MediaTek root tool posted earlier, I was just going to dump the partitions myself. Thank you for posting these OP! Does anyone know if there's a TWRP image for our devices? There's one posted for a "Barnes & Nobel Nook Tablet", but I haven't a clue if it's for the BNTV650.

Thanks and questions

Thanks for sharing that! I'm getting a brand-new BNTV650 this week and would very much like to make a "as-received-from-factory" backup before starting experimenting with AOSP Treble GSI etc.

How did you make that backup? Did you use MTK droid tools? Miracle Box? Infinity CM2 MTK? SP Flash tool? Wwr_MTK Tool?

TIA!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarmid:
hello, my first post, I bought a Nexus 6P from ebay. It has an unlocked bootloader (I get the warning when I turn it on) and the os build number is "angler-userdebug 8.1.0 OPM3.171019.01445.3998 dev-keys". there are applications that are not uninstallable: Better Bug, Nexus Logger, Traceur, and Volta. My question is, is this device suitable for personal use the way it is? any other information and/or suggestions are appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsPdSr:
I am not sure about the rom version.

https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler

It sounds like somebody sold you a former test model from Huawei.

I can obly assume, that they sold remaining units, but after I searched a bit about those applications I can, like I said, only give you a vague assumption.

The important questions are -

Is the phone functional?Meaning: bootloop, sudden reboots, battery problems?

Are you able to use adb/fastboot? - > Is your phone being recognized by the command 'fastboot devices'?

Did you get a notification that is your system can be updated?

The unlocking of a bootloader isn't a reason to be distinctively suspicious?

But, if you are not satisfied with the phone in whatever way, you can demand to be refunded in regard of the unlocked bootloader with the argument, that the seller has tampered with it and should wrote it in the description.

I bought a phone a while ago and were unsatisfied with it, so I argued with the above mentioned and got my money back.

This was even from somebody private and there are no refund policies, besides the buyer protection.

If you have not passed thr chance and don't want to have a phone, which somebody has used most likely to flash a custom rom or recovery to root same phone, then go for it.

It is not a 100% bulletproof argument, but ebay excepted it, at leat in my case.

If you are okay with the device and adb/fastboot are working, in a way that you for example can test some commands, whicj you have to look up, but __don't flash anything__ as long as you are unsure of the condition.

If you want to remove these apps, you have to look them up, which is expandable and which isn't, before removing them.

And lastly - if you want to remove them, you have to root your phone (tutorials find you here en mass, the same goes for adb/fastboot usage).

But the same goes here for testing a ADB and fastboot usability, please.

If you decide to keep it, then you can remove system apps (>before a search if you phone goes boom..), aith this app for example

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/jumobile/system-app-remover-root/system-app-remover-root-7-1-release/

With this, you are able to backup the apps if you want to remove them.

Some apps, especially the so-called 'bloatware' is from now on then, quite resistant.Just empty the trash, which you find in the app's menu.

Titanium Backup, a very, very versatile application, is fir example capable of backing up your entire apps including data, but I think, you have "some" pointers now and can give it (with carefulness) your own try.

Have fun & good luck :)

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] heiZinberg:
hi everyone am on the last global stables 10.3.6 am facing battery drain and slow battery charging.

i want to rollback to the beta 10.9.6.24 everything is perfect there.

can you plz explain me how to do step by step .

do i need to unlock the bootloader ? use mi flash tool ? and falsh fastboot 10.9.6.24 ( where can i downloaded it )?

any help is welcome :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] alifarhad:
There are 3 ways for rolling back:

1. download recovery rom and simply flash it via twrp ( which is the most common) but since you have locked BL and therfore no TWRP you can't use this method.

2. download fastboot rom and flash it via miflashtool (by putting fone in fastboot mode) this is the best method for you and one that works with locked BL. Also make sure that you are flashing the FASTBOOT version of the rom. Since there are 2 versions for each Rom. Recovery rom and fast boot rom. And as mentioned earlier, you will need fast boot rom for this method.

3. EDL method but you will never use that, it involves putting phone in EDL mode (back panel is remove and two short points are touched via wire on motherboard and usb cable is plugged in and then fastboot rom is FLASHED by miflash tool, this is usually done on BRICKED Xiaomi phones and MIFLASH asks for AUTHORISED ACCOUNT, which atm are only found in their official service centers.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] heiZinberg:
alright i Will go for the second method .

do you know where i can find fastboot 10.9.6.24 rom I've searched but didn't find that one i found only the latest beta which haven't been as good as 9.6.24
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] tiennhu89:
We never had a version 10.9.6.24. U can only go for 9.6.24 (beta rom) or 10.x.x.x (stable rom).
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] alifarhad:
This link below contains all MIUI roms that have ever been released to this date.

https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/official-roms-for-xiaomi-pocophone-f1/

Also as someone else mentioned, there has never been a rom such as the one you stated. The latest global stable rom is 10.3.x.x and will probably take years to reach 10.9.x.x. You must be confusing it with beta roms that usually start with 9.x.x.x serial.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
And as you will be going from stable to beta, make sure you backup EVERYTHING or you will loose it.

Going from stable to beta, or vice versa, wipes the phone of all data...

You have been warned...

Backup your ROM, before flash the new modified one.

NOTE 1

In Settings-> about phone you'll see the device name is Redmi K20 Pro

Screenshots

Right now I'm using Evolution X

Thanks

• vbmeta.img is from Google GSI

• [MENTION=9670088]baNzera1[/MENTION] for his ROM Evolution X, I'm using for test and because I like.

waiting for help
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] standupdad:
Asking the important questions! Seriously, as this is my one and only running want for the phone.

That said, it'll be very likely to need more than just root. Some manufacturers disable features in their hardware with modified and de-featured versions of the Core OS/Image removing a few things. I worked for one that did this with their embedded devices so that they didn't have to have several variations of hardware. Then, with the flick of a switch, they download the version that enables the de-featured radios or whatever. It isn't a simple task to enable these features, as entire driver support, links, libraries and the such are removed from the de-featured versions, as well as the references needed to link and enable the part that the mfg is hiding. It might take someone with time and a rooted/unlocked version that has the bands in question already enabled before they can work on the Tencent version to see if it can be done. Until that version gets released and into the dev's hands, it could be months before you hear about the dream becoming possibility.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
Isn't LTE bands a hardware issue? I would imagine the phone needs certain hardware to work with certain bands. I think this CN Tencent version of the phone isn't good for ANY US carrier...you're missing important bands even on the GSM networks

Apps that you downloaded, but don't use them, just remove. Get good quality apps from reputable source/brand. Your phone should let you know if the app is using more resources.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SirHappyCatIII:
My brother recently moved out and he left me with his old phone, a Pixel 2. I would like to factory wipe it in order to sell it, but the screen is completely broken. It still boots up and works fine, but the screen shows no output and tapping doesn't register. Is there a way to wipe the phone via fastboot? The bootloader is locked, phone is unrooted, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ice711:
I would suggest going into recovery and doing a factory reset. You only need the volume and power keys. You said there's no output on the screen, so you would have to watch a YouTube video and count the number of times to press the corresponding keys. Hope that helps
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SirHappyCatIII:
The only issue with that is that I have no clue if it actually worked. I can check if the device is in fastboot to get the ball rolling, but after that there is no haptic feedback or anything to let me know it is wiped. Thanks for your input though. I tried doing it but I'm not sure if it actually did anything
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SirHappyCatIII:
I'm pretty sure I was able to wipe it using this method - the phone now shows up as an empty storage device and adb devices no longer shows any devices.

Hi All,

I have a problem where my Mavic Pro controller is charging my S9 via USB. This is draining the batter from the controller at a very fast rate, resulting in less flying time.

I've checked online for solutions, with answers such as using a USB power bank to charge the controller. This is a valid suggestion, but a bit messy.

Is there a way of stopping a Galaxy S9 from charging when connected to another device? I read something about going into a secret menu by dialling a number on the keypad, but was unable to figure this one out.
