If you know a good local electronical repair shop, pay them a visit, i got mine fixed yesterday with just a reballing for the emmc and wifi chip, then the tech told me that my battery is acting funky so he replaced it. The total cost was like 50$ and now it is back to life.

Coming from a P10, on the XDA section of P10 there is the thread with the same name, the most used, and i thought it would be a good idea to have this on the P20, now that i switched.

I have a EML-L29 with 9.1.0.311 and 2 days ago i received an update to 9.1.0.328. Contains security patch for August 2019.

Hi,

it looks as if Titanium Backup is not supported anymore - or at least there is no way to request support, since their support forms stopped working and a mail to their email address listed on the playstore only gets you a canned reply pointing at the ... support forms.

So, what alternatives to TB are there? What i'd need is a full backup, full restore, and it should be able to sync backups into google drive or even better nextcloud.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leroy3:
Hi, I'm completly lost. :confused: I'm trying to get Daydream running on a Sony Xperia XZ Premium (XZP). I read that 2 files must be modified for this. I already edited the build.prop file in /system. But the second one, the handheld_core_hardware.xml is for some reason not where it should be. I backed up the TA-partion and flashed the firmware "G8141_MobilTel EAD BG_1309-2357_47.2.A.10.62_R2C" with the kernel "boot-G8141-47.2.A.10.62-hideunlock-magisk-19.3.img" following the instructions here on XDA. Using ADB I open a root shell (ADB shell, su) and try to copy a modified version of the XML file from data/local/tmp to system/etc/permissions after re-mounting /system in rw-mode. I got the file by extracting the ext4-image in the system.sin of the firmware pack and pushed it to tmp using ADB. When I try to copy the file, I either get "I/O error" or no error. In the latter case the file is nevertheless not copied and I get the I/O error when mounting to ro-mode again. It's also strange that in this case I can cat the contents and list it via ls -l but only if I use the exact name no wildcards. On next boot or when ro-mounting succeeds its completely gone.

This is how it looks on the shell:

127|G8141:/system/etc/permissions # ls -l handheld_core_hardware.xml
ls: handheld_core_hardware.xml: No such file or directory
1|G8141:/system/etc/permissions # cp /data/local/tmp/handheld_core_hardware.xml /system/etc/permissions

What am I doing wrong?

Is there maybe a better way meanwhile to enable Daydream on unsupported devices?

I mean, it's a bad joke, Sony makes this great 4k display but doesn't support VR properly. Daydream even starts and is working just to block the view a second later with a big PopUp telling that the device is not compatible.

I'm posting this now and hope in doing so some new input can be reached. Due to recent new and old exploits we need this, I have hardened the kernel some, from CopperheadOS, and put in place full "Harden usercopy", updated it to 3.10.108, and before I go any further in breaking the kernel i release this WIP. I refer to this post ( https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80265757&postcount=50 ) for the current state of mobile calls etc.

290819: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1d8FNiFlMN6Bey6xD606pBomqBgSiZ-MO

Features:

OS Version: 8.1.0 Oreo

Kernel: Linux 3.10.108

Important informations:

You should be familiar with general installation of custom roms.

Required for installation: fastboot

This ROM needs a clean install, old /data may cause problems!

Working:

WIFI

Bluetooth

OTG-USB

NFC

These things are NOT working.

Camera; is not included due to inconsistency in the build currently. But failed to connect to the camera last time it did.

GSM; this will require reworking some android code, making some progress i think.

[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] threader:
DP
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] threader:
let me think on that, but there are two things that's needed, a libcneapiclient.so that is msm8996 perhaps and for Android 8.x, maybe we can decompile and figure out the differences. And a Qualcomm trust zone from from maybe 8996 to hack and plug the holes. I'm still reading up.on this though but if you Google "chipsec Qualcomm trust zone" or indeed just the first results for " Qualcomm trust zone" you certainly see the problem ( https://blog.quarkslab.com/introduction-to-trusted-execution-environment-arms-trustzone.html , https://www.blackhat.com/docs/us-14/materials/us-14-Rosenberg-Reflections-on-Trusting-TrustZone.pdf )

I'm re-working the external/protobuf modifications just now as I think that is why the bug i listes occurred.

Edit:

Right, great, after unhacking the hacks and returning the protobuf API to its original state I'm stuck an error before the quite impossible error i had earlier, so this is not going as quickly as i thought, either.

Abort message: 'CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/system/bin/netmgrd": cannot locate symbol "_ZN6google8protobuf2io17CodedOutputStream13WriteVarint32Ej" referenced by "/system/vendor/lib64/libcneapiclient.so"..

This is a clearly defined symbol already but perhaps not behaving as intended and an error my previous attempt somehow worked around.

The following might be the reason it hangs during package install though;

Hi Guys,

First, humble apologies if I have asked this question in the wrong section and if there is already an answer to this - I just couldn't find one after a cursory search.

I have noticed a number of issues with the "upgrade", as have others it would seem.

Anyway I would like to roll back to Android Pie.

Thanks in advance.

Probably cant roll back. If you are OEM unlocked you could try Fastboot but with each major upgrade - they change certain BL / Security Versions so you cant roll back.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Keith W:
Hi,

Sorry but I am not sure what you mean, especially this bit: "they change certain BL / Security Versions so you cant roll back"

I have read in the various news reports, and on the Google support page, that those who have had issues with their Pixel 3 XL after the upgrade to 10 fixed their issues be downgrading back to PIE.

So I am guessing it can be done but I haven't got a clue how to do it.

Greeting from a fellow grey haired android user. Flashing old versions etc used tobe quite easy on these phones but things changed a few years ago to have slots and some othe mallarky which has made messing about with the phone a bit more complicated and very touchy.

I used to muck around a lot but I keep clear and keep it simple these days. Any problems I will do a factory reset and if problems still arise I will reset without restoring data.

Wifi calling was not working on mine after updating but this was down to vodafone rather than google and it's sorted now.

Nice hearing comments like thick as pig manure on here :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Keith W:
I ended up re-setting the phone and restoring from a backup.

Still had lost of settings to sort out and for some reason it didn't back up my custom sounds so has to re-install all of those.

Do some more research man, it's not that difficult
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zimgir124:
I may have accidentally left some stuff out but hopefully i didn't.

Assuming it let you slide the OEM unlock toggle?

Do you have the platform-tools downloaded?

Do you have a factory image for 9.0 downloaded?

platform-tools: platform-tools

factory image: Factory Image

Download the latest 9.0.0 image

Once they are downloaded extract platform-tools to a folder on your desktop and do the same with the factory image.

Make sure they are in the same folder. After that you can open the folder and in the location bar type in cmd so it opens a command prompt window. Plug your phone into your computer, then under developer settings tap allow USB debugging. On your phone a window should appear and you just need to tap allow all the time. Next on your computer in the CMD window type

adb reboot bootloader

.

This will reboot your phone.

Next you need to download these drivers and install them.

To install the drivers you need to extract the files into a folder, then open Device manager on your computer and look for an option with a yellow triangle. Right click on it and click install drivers. After that you will need to click browse my computer, then look for the folder that you extracted and click ok.

next in your CMD window type

fastboot devices

and see if a phone shows up. should list your serial number.

if it shows up then you can continue with unlocking your bootloader. here is a guide for that.

Scroll down to 3.Unlock Bootloader/Return Phone to Stock/Lock Bootloader and follow the steps it gives you to unlock it. *Phone will be factory reset*

After that set up the phone as normal, enable developer options again then enable USB Debugging for the phone again.

on the CMD window type

adb reboot bootloader

again. Then in the folder you extracted the factory image to there should be a file called "flash-all". Open that and it should do everything that it needs to do to flash it. Hopefully that works and it lets you flash back to pie.

Should be noted that i may have accidentally left some stuff out so let me know if you get any errors on the CMD parts.
