[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
odm/omc/the csc you are on/check in the folders for qmg files
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] redha4454:
Yes air your answer is right , i found that file ls in odm/omc/skc/media and did overwrite them , and they gone .

Another question, is there any way to do this without rooting the device? I mean reaching this folder and overwrite in it without root , like an adb fastboot ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
not to my knowledge. but i believe if you can get the csc to change to "koo", that one dosen't have any "branding"...i think.

some use samkey to change csc code in nonrooted devices.

I actually saw a video about this a couple of weeks ago(it was sakitech) and it was a feature I heavily looked forward to. It is how you turn every single app black.

1. Tap software version enough times to enable developer options.

2. Open developer Orton's, and scroll down to "Force dark mode"..

3. Your done! All of your apps should be night mode.

Mine that went, were Ebay, Amazon, and voicemail. But now, every single app is black. Also, and I'm not seeing what it's doing(maybe because I have Hex installed and running), but it states that it is in with theming..

Hope this makes someone else as happy as it's made me...View attachment 4906945View attachment 4906947

Negative. I don't even bother to root anymore, if I really cared about rooting I would never by a snapdragon variant in today's time.

You mean U.S Snapdragon.. i have H.K Snapdragon rooted

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aarongotgame:

Continued oxygen deprivation results in fainting, long-term loss of consciousness, coma, seizures, cessation of brain stem reflexes, and brain death.

I have zero signs.

If you knew I was referring to the U.S. variant, you aren't alone. The undertone of your message referring to your particular snapdragon was an obvious unwarranted flex which reason is probably beyond your own ability to perform metacognition.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I feel a mod coming along soon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
Your very first post in this Note 10 thread was you stating Snapdragon couldn't be rooted....whether you and I know different, someone else might think Exynos was their only route to have root. So your blanket statement was factually incorrect. Many people come to xda for answers to questions they never thought to ask and the more accurate ideas shared, the less confusion for those people.

The correct way to put it is to not buy a U.S Snapdragon if you want root, or simply to avoid the U and UI Snapdragons if you want root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aarongotgame:
The irony here is your blanket, rough draft suggestion saying, "to not buy a U.S. Snapdragon if you want root;" while staying within the context of your last reply, is factually incorrect. Many U.S. snapdragons, Galaxy S' for example have numerous comments of "will never be rooted" and "cant be rooted" and these were also factually incorrect or proven wrong when root was found.

Worst case scenario is someone thinks something cant be rooted, keeps searching and finds out it can be or has been. Best case scenario is they buy a device already proven and verified to have root.

I said and I quote, "I [me] don't even bother to root anymore, if I [me] really cared about rooting I [me] would never buy a snapdragon variant in today's time." This isnt an instruction to anyone or any group of people regardless of what they are on xda for and I do not represent xda in any other capacity than a forum member. My post is literally a personal admission and comment pertaining to my personal choice. Nowhere did I say a snapdragon or U.S. snapdragon cannot be rooted therefore anyone with basic intelligence and comprehension skills wouldnt be looking to my singular comment for guidance on rooting their device. It is a comment of personal choice, not a guide on rooting.

Your comment saying that your H. K. snapdragon has root, has no grounding in my choice not to buy a snapdragon if I "really cared about rooting." This is why I believe it to be 49% informative and 51% a weird flex to say you have a rooted snapdragon, which I guess I should be saying... Congratulations? But then again, your rooted phone has zero affect on my life in any way as I am not seeking to root.

The probability of someone taking my comment and pulling from it that all snapdragons cant be rooted is baseless and would be considered reaching and would only speak to that individual person's ignorance to ignore readily available public information that proves otherwise. If a person chooses not to do their own research, that's their choice. Their quest for root has zero to do with my personal choice to not buy snapdragons if I really cared about rooting.

A personal statement is not an instruction. What someone pulls from my words is based off of their own symbolic interaction with my comment. The same way if someone read your comment stating, "do not buy a U.S. snapdragon if you want root" is not entirely true and would be jumping the gun to presume snapdragons cant be rooted. The correct statement would go along the lines of, if you prefer an easier route to rooting capability as it pertains to most Samsung Galaxy devices, then the Exynos variant would be the smarter, safer purchase for a consumer. Obviously dev's of any stature would be somewhat excluded from this from an operational and mechanical standpoint as they may want to take a crack at a workaround, root, etc.

Semantics.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] splink7007:
If you side loaded the December ota image, can you downgrade to November and receive December's ota? I think the Google image on their site for December is buggy on my device. I am hoping they didn't have the images mix matched since they renamed them twice.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] itylermartin:
Pretty sure you would have to re-flash the entire November image through adb. Then accept the ota before rooting.

I do know that others have faced issued when flashing the wrong December image, like face unlock not working for example.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] splink7007:
So I couldn't side load the November ota, I would have to flash the entire full image? Then accept the December ota?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Anytime you downgrade, you have to do a full wipe, and then fastboot the factory image. If your bootloader is unlocked, I would first try fastbooting the December factory image to both slots to see if that fixes your problems, rather than have to wipe your device. You could also try side loading the December OTA to see if that fixes your issues as well.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] splink7007:
Looking at Google factory image page, it looks like flashing the full factory image requires unlocked bootloader? I'm as factory as they come lol.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Yep. Like I stated in my post. I'm afraid all you can do is side load the OTA again for December to see if that helps your problem.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcky844:
Hi there. Sorry for that weird LG device model. I really want to unbrick it as I need a secondary device.

This device have not been use for a long time now, and the EMMC chip inside of it probably degraded and the kernel and boot data is all gone too. The only thing accessable is Qualcomm 9008 flash mode and a mode that cannot be identified by Windows.

I tried to search online to find 9008 Firmwares for this device and got none as this is a uncommon device and most of it is for H810 or H815.

I also want to request for a developer who can make firmwares please make me one. I don't want to use SD card to unbrick since I don't have the SD card larger then 32GB that is Class 10.

I tried to make my own firmware and it didn't work as I missed a file and I don't know what it is.

If you have successfully made a firmware, thank you first of all. Then you can PM me or just spam it on those firmware sharing site and then send a link to me.

Thank you, I hope you understand.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcky844:
Also, the device cannot boot into any other mode.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcky844:
I have fixed it. Apparently, a CyanogenOS device's firehose worked fine for this device. So there we go.

Hi, I bought a Lenovo Smart Clock with the google assistant,

Here are some details from the box:

After setting it up and trying it for a few days I looked around online and I don't see much specifically about this device and if it can be modified or accessed in unconventional ways. can we root it? I would love to be able to cast to it youtube etc. HDMI out anyone? Has anyone else tinkered with it yet? The '1G+8G' marking on the box seems to suggest it has a 1GB of flash presuming to be for the android things OS and another 8GB of flash for apps or media or caches?

Here is details from the Google Home App:

Info from the foot on the bottom (SN obfuscated):

Here is NMAP of its ip address:

The price was pretty low, $50CAD at best buy, I cant wait to see what people can do to hack it. Other smart displays seem to have USB/ADB/Fastboot connections, I havnt found one on this device yet.

We haven't hacked any google assistant devices yet that I know off, in fact, I dont think we even hacked android things yet. I am sure there is somebody that is trying to hack android things. Btw, youtube can be watched on the clock, by going to something like the weather page > taping weather.com > going to the menu > download app, clicking on the download on the app store logo, going to the menu, support, go to apple support youtube channel, taping the YouTube icon. It's only in 480p, I tried it, I would rather watch on my phone or tablet, also the video will stop and the clock will go back to home if you wait to long without touching the screen or wake up the google assistant. Other than that. Playback is smooth.

---------- Post added at 04:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 AM ----------

I plugged in an android device to the clock, and it came up with some message, I dont remember what itsaid, it was either for adb debugging or transferring files over usb. I think it was transfering files over usb. The usb port does allow data transfer. Plugging in a USB mouse will make a mouse show up and can move for example.

It could be great to have some custom home assistant displayed on smart clock screen instead of clock
[Google Home] schmappel:
Apparently it's possible to plug in a keyboard and/or mouse to it via the USB port on the back (a cursor will appear).
[Google Home] TechX1991:
Just got one of these myself today. Best Buy had em for 40 bucks. Quite the awesome little thing. I'm really surprised I can't find much for it.

I'll see if maybe I can buy a second one to purposely "break" (just in case), and see if I can get anything working on it. The little screen is good quality and has great sound. Would be cool for a mini emulation station of some kind

Update: Realized mine doesn't have the usb-c port under the rubber feet like other's have stated here its supposed to. Really don't wanna tear into the carpeting around it. I have the exact same model as first post

Plugging in a usb keyboard works for typing

update 2: navigated my way to youtube and tried downloading an apk from a direct link, downloads don't work period

update 3: can not get device recognized by a pc via plugging in USB port on the back to a USB-C port on my laptop, also tried USB-A to USB-A, no results

Update 4 lol: Unlocked the bootloader, had to have device manager search online for the driver, but it found it and installed it just fine. to unlock the bootloader, simply type

fastboot flashing unlock
[Google Home] gussir:
Hello KaptinBoxxi,

How did you manage to unlock the bootloader, did you use ADB on computer via USB? or directly via a pluged in keyboard?

I'm a bit new to all of those types of hack but I'm very interested in getting into that since this device is small, cheap, good quality and could be a perfect smart display if there was any abilities to extend the frontend to better use cases.

Thanks
[Google Home] TechX1991:
Fastboot via computer. Although, if this is the first device you're picking up, I'd recommend it not be. No one's really done much with cracking/hacking Android Things (the version of Android that runs on this) as it isn't a full version of android. Its heavily stripped down. Grab an old phone that has a ton of support for modding/hacking but isn't exactly the easiest and do that. I'd recommend a Sprint variant of the HTC One M7 if you want a real challenge. I had to find my own custom method to S-OFF the device, unlock the bootloader, then ROM it and root it as no tutorials worked that were currently up and I wasn't willing to pay to unlock it. If that sounds a little too high end for now, get something like an unlock Galaxy S4 or Verizon Galaxy S5 and hope its a Toshiba model so you can unlock the bootloader
[Google Home] gussir:
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'll start on with something easier and will definitively follow along with this thread to see how the hacking of this device is evolving. have a good day :)

Were you able to use adb?

I found a deal on this device and am debating if I should buy it. The thing is, I wanna run Spotify on it without voice commands. ;D
[Google Home] TheRookie_:
You can use a Python Library called Pychromecast to remotely play media on it.
[Google Home] -gloim-:
Thank you for the recommendation. I actually meant that I want to control the music from the screen, though. : )

Installing Spotify should probably be possible if adb is working. But, I would still need to figure out some way to launch Spotify without opening the app over adb every time.

Hi everyone,

New build is up! I fixed some issues in this second build. I tried to fix RIL and GPS first, but I still don't have a clue why the blobs crashes or hangs.

My guess is that something changed in Bionic/libc which brakes RILD/libsec-ril.so causing it to crash due NPE after request RIL_REQUEST_SCREENSTATE.

For GPS it hangs forever when native_init() is called. I don't get a stack trace or other hints to investigate. Has anyone got some hints about these issues?

Anyway, happy testing Android Q on our old S2 lady :)

Observed one full crash today: Battery charged fully, disconnected charger, accessed settings menu right away and selected the battery settings. This is where the phone froze. The battery item in the settings list is still grey shaded but the battery settings didn't open. Only solution was pushing power button til device rebooted.

Not sure whether this info helps but wanted to share.
