[SOLVED]

Solution = effing about with various linux machines and usb cables until a combination allows ADB sideloading - then carry out steps 15 onward of the root thread to get back to a working state. #rootlife # tuxlife

------------------------- the below is now academic -----------------------------------------

Morning all,

In summary: I'm having 2 issues resolving a boot-loop (see heading "what I did that was stupid" below) issue with my fire 7 - full details of these are in the lists under the heading "What I have tried to fix it:" further below:

I can't get TWRP to reliably mount my SD card (internally or via USB OTG); and

I'm having trouble getting ADB to pick up the device in TWRP for an ADB sideload.

What I did that was stupid: I Rooted my F7 a while ago, got it all working nice (Play store, Bloat disabled, but alexa working etc) - however in the meantime I forgot the important instruction from the fire-7-2019-mustang-unbrick-downgrade etc thread not to update Magisk from within Magisk manager.

I did update Magisk via Magisk Manager and now I have a boot loop.

What I have tried to fix it: I figured all I would need to do is reflash the previous version of Magisk, and "finalise.zip" via, given in the above thread, via TWRP and I'd be good to go. However:

Does anyone know why TWRP is being really finicky about USB OTG USB adaptors and SD cards - they are not always there to mount in the mount menu - is there something I am missing? I am somewhat stuck having done the following:

I mounted a random SD card via a USBOTG adaptor. It didn't show up at first in the "mount" section of TWRP, but after a few secionds arrived when I pressed "select storage" - I then flashed the Magisk.zip - it threw an error about a corrupted zip file.

To attempt to rule out a dodgy SD card, I then flashed "finalise.zip" - which worked fine.

I re-downloaded the Magisk zip file, loaded it to the SD card , and now I can't get TWRP to see the USB OTG reader, or the SD card (in the device's SD slot).

As I am having the above difficulties I decided to try ADB sideload - using the same Ubuntu box I did the rooting on (some of it via ADB) - I have disabled modem manager:

I fire up ADB on my linux box and

$ sudo killall ModemManager

.

Whether my device is plugged in before, or after I start the ADB server I get no devices listed when I run

$ adb devices

.

I'm at a loss here as this was the same Ubuntu box i did the rooting on (via ADB) and it found the device fine.

Does anyone have any insight into what I may be doing wrong, or any fixes /workarounds I can try?

Hi there

I have debloated my poco, and I want to unlock it,

since I have debloated it I am stuck

and solutions? or somebody provides me with the apks?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
i am affraid these are core previlage apps and if you install them as thirdparty app it may not function properly since they won't get system access! nor they are designed to ASK Magisk for one!

you need to go back and ask the script developer to exclude these apps!

or I think i saw this application which can customize fastboot rom and remove/add features /apps

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] zago27:
Hi there.

I used to have LineageOS on my Z2 Play, but I reverted back to stock firmware because I'm giving it to my parents and I want to avoid issues with it. During the process, I relocked the bootloader, but when I try to search for updates, it says it's already updated. However I'm still on February update and it's not sounding right. I'd like to get it back to automatic updates and stay away from fastboot flashing.

Is there any way to get OTA updates again?

First question is how did you lock the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] doclouis:
Hello,

I recently came across an issue, I couldn't solve by myself. Maybe someone out here knows a solution.

I have a Samsung S7 (European version, Stock ROM 8.0.0, rooted with TWRP and SU). The phone works fine with its external SD card, that I partionated to two partions (first: fat32/primary, second ext4/primary) for using Apps2SD options to link apps to the second partition.

Now, when I connect my phone to my computer (Windows 7) via USB, the internal storag shows up in Windows, the external SD won't (see pic #1).

If I put this very card into my old S4 (European version, Stock ROM 5.x, rooted), it shows up in Windows just fine (see pic#2).

Does anyone know how to make the S7 to show up the external SD card when connected to Windows?

Cheers,

doclouis

It is usefull for sure, but the same regsetting should be achieved by checking Settings>Connections>Beam>Enable Beam.

We just determined in another thread that using only the Comm Manager isn't enough; that action relates to another regsetting and only activate the main service, not the file tranfer protocol.

[General Questions and Answers] HQuser:
Last time I used my mobile (Redmi note 5) was on 29th August. At that time, my device backup was in Google drive.

But then I factory reset my device and sent it to the Xiaomi service center for repair.

After I got it back on 13th September, when I tried to restore my data, the redmi note 5 device backup was just missing from my account.

I tried contacting the google drive help center and they said we don't know any potential cause for missing data and you may contact the manufacturer.

But the thing is, how can manufacturer know my device backup in my google account when they don't even have access to it?

Is there any cause for missing of my device backup from my google drive and any way to recover it?

And does contacting manufacturer told by Google, makes any sense to you?

*Not having an unlocked bootloader and following this will definitely brick your phone. You have been warned.

Installing Stock ROM - Method 1A(Nost) --

Same as NOST, It has the same UI.

Except You might have to change some values in the .mlf file.

An appropriate guide for the same - Here

[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
Nokia 6.1 Plus is an Android One certified device. Nokia is no slouch either when it comes to issuing updates. Learn how to take OTA without losing root.

1. Turn of Auto System updates through Developer options

2. Open Magisk Manager

3. Restore Stock Images but don't reboot.

4. Download and install, Let both the steps finish i.e applying update and apps, but don't reboot.

5. Go to magisk manager and select install to inactive slot option

6. Re-boot device.

7. You've not lost root, But have root access.

Done :)
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] Hymix:
I don't see any option to restore stock images or install to inactive slot in Magisk. Am I missing something?
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
Open Magisk Manager, Tap on Uninstall. You will see 2 options, Complete Uninstall and restore stock images.

*Nevar tap on the complete uninstall option, It will throw your phone into bootloop:eek:

To install to inactive slot, Tap on install, You will get 2 options, Release Notes and Install. Tap on Install again and select install to inactive slot, Reboot from within Magisk Manager. :svetius:
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] Hymix:
The simplest way I've found to install Stock Rom is just using adb sideload.

Boot into TWRP and wipe as you would with any custom rom.

Go to advanced and adb sideload.

Send the adb sideload command from your computer with the relevant zip file.

Doesn't require any additional softward like NOST or OST....
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
But does it also install the bootloader and stock recovery back? If yes then I'll add it to the post above.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] Bluebriz:
That's a good question. I've just been using stock and hadn't considered it. How would one check that?
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
It's easy. Get an OTA .zip file, Re-Boot to recovery and flash it. Or Use the ADB Sideload method.

Most likely installing the OTA would fail if the device is rooted because, Magisk will patch the boot.img.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] Bluebriz:
Then I'll need to wait for another update, the September one, right? Because I installed it with ADB and have Magisk installed so I don't really want to mess with it until I have to.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
I just took an OTA with Magisk installed it went fine. (September patch)
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] Hymix:
OK, then it doesn't seem to work. Trying to follow the steps, the system update gives an installation error. I'm guessing that somewhere along the road I've messed something up, so it seems stock rom and Magisk isn't an option for me.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
Restore images before you do anything, If installation fails keep trying again. It happens to me to.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] Bluebriz:
Really? I did the restore via Magisk and that seemed fine, but then the update part didn't work. It downloaded then gave the error so I quit and started again with a fresh installation, minus Magisk.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
Have you guys modified the system/vendor partition in any way? If you did, Then it will obviously fail.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
[MENTION=4303327]Bluebriz[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7438491]Hymix[/MENTION] I agree. It's the september security patch causing the installation issue.

It fails for me no matter what, Unless I completely un-root. But this method works perfectly fine on the August update.

Lets see for the October patch.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
Okay, I can specifically narrow this down to way the September patch. The september patch requires the August security patch as a precondition to install. And that's where something funky is happening.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Guides, News, & Discussion] CarbonGTR:
Guys a quick update. October update has been released but it also fails to install. This time I've managed to find the cause, Apparently some service that needs to be used for the update is being blocked/used by Magisk. (I could be wrong here)

The error code according to the recovery is 20(kDownloadStateInitializationError)

not lose my data?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] palatkik:
Hi,

My Mate-9 after 3 years of reliable use now has the battery start to swell/get warm when charging so I want to replace it with a new battery ?

** Simple question, after changing battery will I have factory reset the device or will everything be as before which is really what I want? If factory reset what is easiest way to restore everything to how it was?

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Changed batteries 3 or 4 times on Huawei P9, never lost any data - in fact I always tested booting while the back cover was still opened to make sure all wires were properly connected

If your phone is not rooted (on rooted phone you can use Titanium), then use really excelent stock Backup application (backing up to SD card) or its PC companion HiSuite.

More or less they can backup/restore the same (apps, their settings, general settings, WiFi passwords, contacts, SMS, calls...), but to different media - I prefer to backup to SD card to be always able to restore something if needed without a need to go to PC

IMO, everybody is/must be familiar with Backup app and HiSuite (coming on all Huawei phones, and all versions of EMUI).

With HiSuite you can even upgrade and in some cases downgrade the firmware.

Most of the backup can be even restored to another Huawei phone (model, EMUI version)

For Contacts, Calendar, WhatsApp, Viber and so on, simply use Google account

Huawei Cloud also makes it possible to backup/restore Contacts, Calendar...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] palatkik:
Thanks so much, very helpful. I will order new battery today and change it myself.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
If I'm not wrong then the battery in our mate 9 is glued to the screen and therfore both have to be replaced at the same time.

Replacing the screen means recalibrating it and therefore a mandatory factory reset, so use Huawei backup or Titanium and you should be fine.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] palatkik:
I plan to buy from Lazada and they show how to replace the battery similar to Youtube videos.. shouldn't need a new screen?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIiEDuW6uNM
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Looks like you're right. The official Huawei service center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia though requires to change the screen also. Happened to my friend who had a faulty battery a couple of years ago and they did it under warranty. Weird that they threw in a brand new screen for free.

Wish you good luck
