I have the same problem as kishore001986. I am stuck at the "Not connected to ACT network" screen and not able to bypass with voice commands or any other buttons on the remote. what should I do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepan417:
Voice command does not bypass the dialogue “please connect to act network “.Any solution guys ? Help would be appreciated
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohbilal03:
Thanks bro, this worked. For those who are asking how to add these two apps because you are having the error message ACT network and not allowing you to go to home page, follow the below process.

Switch on your ACT box, now error message will appear, press select network, under network & internet turn wifi off. Press back button home screen will appear. Now follow the process by installing APK files from usb. Connect wifi. Once all setting is done reboot the box and wait till sideload launcher appears. Now you can watch all the apps or just cast from phone which is easier

How are you guys connecting this box to a pc? I see there are two usb type A ports, are you using type A to type A ports?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Livingston Samuel J:
For everyone who are banging their heads to get around this, the solution is pretty simple. All you need to do is, disable your internet and then go into apps and scroll down to special access and select Display over other apps, and there disable the access for ACTPrecore. No need to install any external apps or root your android device. Enjoy :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salaigeethan666:
If anyone's stuck in this pop-up

"You seem to have connected this box to a non-ACT network.

Please ensure that you connect only to an ACT network."

do this to come out of it. Press "Select Network > Turn off the Wi-Fi for a moment and turn it back > You'll be free to use the home screen for a while. The Pop-up would repeat again, so repeat the same steps again. From what I've observed, the pop-up doesn't come more than twice. So that should give you enough time to tinker with the device afterwards.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] wodgey:
Hi everyone. I'm scratching my head here and struggling to find a solution that doesn't require root.

I've got a hosts file that I love as it blocks nearly all advert servers on my phone.

I know there are several adblocking apps but they all require root.

I have had to remove root as I have some critical apps that still don;t work, even after hiding magisk from the apps within the Magisk Manager.

I've got a magisk patched image that I can "fastboot boot" with and can edit the hosts file (after remounting /system as rw) but when I then reboot afterwards, the hosts file has been overwritten.

Can anyone help me please or give me a pointer of how to make the hosts edits remain following a reboot?

edit2add

I am using stock ROM with latest August patches on my Mi A1
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dead-neM:
You can't without root even if you do it your system partition will be modified and it will result in phone not booting or just safetynet won't pass.

Use a vpn or I'm pretty sure there's app that can fake a vpn with a ad ban list
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] wodgey:
Interesting idea regarding spoof VPN.

Do you know how the hosts file is generated? If it's copied over from somewhere during boot then could I edit the source file it's copied from?

If it's generated procedurally, might I be able to script it to add my edits during creation?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dead-neM:
System partition ? so that's a good idea but you'll have to compile a rom to change this file. On Linux distro the host file is a thing you can modify easily. On android it's just deprecated by google as it's use mostly used as an adfilter. And google is an ad company. That's my guess.

Anyway host file will always need root even on Linux.

Simply because it can be used against you.

The problem is more on apps that blocks you because you're rooted than being rooted for changing this file.

If any app could modify host then bang you go to YouTube and it redirect you to something else.

Maybe for you it's just an adblock file but it's a little more than that.

So sorry but it's root or vpn.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] wodgey:
So? Could I possibly extract the system.img from the stock ROM, make the edits there and then recompile?

(I've got a copy of payload.bin that I extracted a few weeks ago, when trying to flash the August security patches (this was before I did a compete flash of stock ROM using fastboot)

That actually seems like it wouldn't take too much effort
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dead-neM:
This will lead to a corrupt system partition modified. As i said the worse thing is you could not boot and the good just won't pass safetynet.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] wodgey:
Ok I understand.

How does the device 'know' that the system partition is corrupt? Does it perform a hash check perhaps?

How would compiling my own custom ROM avoid this same problem?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dead-neM:
It does many thing to know that its have been touched. You'll have to modify some stuff and it will work. You'll loose certification but you'll have you own rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] wodgey:
Any chance you can outline the other stuff I'd need to change?

If it's really in-depth then don't worry but if it's just a few bullet-points that I can Google more info on, I'd appreciate it.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dead-neM:
Search "dm-verity" and "safetynet". The first one is what will look at any r/o partition like system and kernel. It's been a long time since i dig into this. I'm not into this anymore.

But You can disable it but you'll loose safetynet, encrypted partition etc... (i may be wrong but you got the idea). And safetynet look if partition have been modified and you are a certified device if it won't pass the banking app and apps like Pokemon go etc won't work.

Magisk hide the fact that the kernel img have been touch and most app that detect it detect just the app itself. That means magisk capability (su, hide and module)

So you could maybe compile stock rom with a custom host file. Never touch vendor partition! Make a backup before! By booting and not flashing twrp. Do not flash twrp just use the "fastboot boot command"

You'll need to make a custom kernel and system img to flash in order to do it.

I'll try to do a rom without anything modded except kernel without dm verity and system with your host and i guess it needs change too.

I dunno if it will pass safetynet after.

Just don't brick your phone ?

Keep in mind that you'll loose ota. There's a chance that the rom work with just some changes but i can be a mess to do.

Why not trying a custom rom like lineage os?

Using their supersu zip won't you be able to replace the host file then remove root?

Once you make a backup a move it to a pc as a savestate. You are free to try different solution

[Sony Xperia 10 Questions & Answers] Bardok84:
Hi everyone

I have a Xperia 10, i1331 version. It has the bootloader unlocked and was rooted successfully (many thanks for the info in this forum)

Then, I gave root permissions to some apps, aa mirror and carstream for android auto, for instance, they work perfectly. But Google Pay does not work, even hiding root...., Because

the Bootloader is unlocked, so I need to lock it again.

But I need to find a way to lock the bootloader again without reseting the Xperia 10... and keeping my Root permissions I did., Does it exist any option to do this????

As you know, with some Rooted devices, if you lock the bootloader again they do not loose the root permissions you gave to some apps, Don't you?? but with XPERIA phones (bq and xiaomi seem to be the same) once you lock the phone they automatically

reset everything and erase all Root.

.... , a disaster.

PLEASE, do you know any possible solution???? Thousand of thanks.

ok but:

is it really necessary to flash a new rom (RR Oreo)?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
Of course you don't HAVE to flash a custom rom - just skip flashing rom + gapps and do everything else up to that point.

You could patch the boot image with Magisk Manager manually and flash it with fastboot too, but TWRP is probably easier.

Currently I have a sony xperia z2 tablet which is really good but it the seems the accu will die soon.

Therefore I'm looking for a new one - here is my feature wishlist

- ca. 10"

- waterproof (e. g. IP55-/IP/58) - because I want to use it in the tub and on the beach (but I don't want to use the tablet under water)

- good display because I mainly watch videos

- support to play mpeg2 - currently I'm using mx player to play. Mpeg2 streams from Tvheadend but it would be nice to play this streams in every player

- at least 32gb internal memory maybe with in option for a sd-card

- vanilla android would be nice

- latest android version or at least that it is planned to get latest version

Does anybode have a suggestion for a tablet with that features?

Thanks

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] KramarSenior:
Hi,

I am in huge trouble. I bought this phone 2 weeks ago and 2 days ago installed android Q. This was mistake because after a some time phone was going to something called "Qualcomm dump mode" and that was it. Only thing to do was wait to battery goes down and restart.

So, I tried to go back, nothing from official ways works so I decided to go with TWRP and unblocking bootloader. And now I think I totally bricked my phone...

After command: "fastboot boot flash twrp.img" my phone only is restarting to this:

( I don't know how to insert picture here)

Is it can be saved?? Or I screwed up all the way? Anyway thank you in advance for any kind of help.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] djsubterrain:
Connect your phone to your computer in Fastboot mode

Ensure you have installed the drivers for the phone : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=3556969557455274390 (I've uploaded the drivers from Android 10 Open Beta 1 here too : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962579686)

Open a command window in the folder that the fastboot/adb tools have been installed to (By default the OnePlus drivers install those here : C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers\Android )

Enter the command fastboot devices

If you see a result from that command then the computer can see the phone correctly, if it's a blank line then it can't. In that case, try another usb port or cable.

Go here : https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424

Download the relevant package for the version you want to use

Extract the package and then run the flash-all.bat file

The script will then apply all default partitions for the version you have specified, this will wipe your data partition on the phone but, if you couldn't get into the phone in the first place, that's no big deal.

For good measure, once you have completed the install go into recovery and wipe the cache partition, I would actually use the factory default wipe option to start completely from scratch

Bear in mind though, you will still have an unlocked bootloader, to lock the bootloader again you would need to go into the developer settings and lock it and use the oem lock command

If you really want TWRP/Magisk back in then you'll likely need to use my workaround from here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79961624&postcount=1210

Just use the fastboot getvar current-slot and fastboot set_active a or fastboot set_active b to track the active boot partition, that's very important for situations where the phone isn't booting correctly, a lot of the time it will be because you have the incorrect active slot enabled, in that case use the set_active command and the fastboot reboot command.

I would definitely recommend getting a usb drive you can use with the phone, there was an issue where TWRP couldn't see storage sometimes due to the difference between Android 9/10, using a usb drive to host the files you wanted to flash would help bystep encryption issues as the usb drive isn't encrypted.

I personally use these :

USB C to USB 3.0 Male Adapter : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KXHNY5F

SanDisk Ultra USB Type-C 16 GB up to 130 MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BUSMYHC

When you use the drive it will make an "Android" folder, just throw your stuff in there, when you go to Install in TWRP you'll have a "SELECT STORAGE" button on the bottom left, that will let you use the usb drive, If you're using the File Manager in TWRP then it's listed under "usbstorage" in the main list.
