[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aman360elite:
Hi ,

I had a Oneplus 7 which got stolen after i left it in the cab. The cab driver initially refused, however i had Life 360 tracking on and with evidence when i reached out to the police they confronted him and got the phone back (Just India things). Now coming to my main issue

The photos on the phone were extremely precious , it had photos of a family trip and my parents anniversary celebrations among other things. The cab driver had Factory reset the phone through recovery.

I was hopeful of recovering my files using Dumpster or Undeleter , however even on a rooted phone i could find Zilch. Which was very surprising. Can someone help me with a reliable software to restore the photos.

Paid /Unpaid both are fine

I have made a conscious effort to not overwrite the Drive.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycelitemaster:
Hi All,

First, i'd like to thank you all in advance for your help.

I have Gen 1 FIre TV that was working fine, so i thought i'd update the firmware to latest using rbox prerooted image. I was running bueller-5.2.6.7-rooted_r1 but YouTube wasn't working. So i downloaded the latest and just adb pushed into the box. Then i issued adb reboot command, and somehow the box bricked.

Now No Power Light, No HDMI signals, when i connect with Computer, it shows as Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9006 fire and opens the drive with files in it.

I did some research and came across, that i need to manually dd=if all 8 partitions and i need to have linux installed. I managed to download a firmware update-kindle-bueller-51.6.3.2_user_632552020 extracted it all.

Question - Can i use the update-kindle-bueller-51.6.3.2_user_632552020 to dd=if?

Second, can someone please confirm the partition layout or provide commands to view the layout.

Or Perhaps guide me to a direction which i can follow to fix this.

Thank you,

I bricked my FireTV twice and just resurrected it with the expert/relentless help from "Sus_i" using rbox's https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66961740&postcount=676.

[MENTION=4838385]Matt_7[/MENTION] when I connect to Linux box, I'm terminal

Do I just issue dd=if NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/sda3

Or do I need to do additional commands to make sure it is connected like adb stuff.

And thank you very much for replying
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_7:
For mine, I entered:

Sudo su

dd if=NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/sdb3

dd if=sbl1.mbn of=/dev/sdb4

dd if=sbl3.mbn of=/dev/sdb6

sudo eject /dev/sdb

Make sure you read rbox post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66961740&postcount=676 regarding the correct partitions (in my case /dev/sdb (sdb1 to sdb20). Details instructions provided by "Sus_i" here https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/help/firetv-1-gen-rooted-running-pre-rooted-t4035609/page5, just make sure to check and double check which partition is OK to ignore (if mounted).

[MENTION=4838385]Matt_7[/MENTION]; thank you so much. I used the Ubuntu Live USB.

Sudo SU did not work, so i used sudo bash which did the job

When i did df -h, it showed my fire tv as sdc1

then i ejected those, and did the commands, it did not work.

I replugged them, some drives populated and i ran the commands it worked

At the end, i issued command eject /dev/sdc, it didn't work, but i ejected by right clicking, then i powered the fire tv box and it booted.

Luckily it showed TWRP as recovery.

I ran the command in adb

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell

SU prompted on fire tv to accept, which i did then it showed

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell

shell@bueller:/ $ su

root@bueller:/ # cat /proc/cmdline

androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=22 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F ehci-hcd.park=3 maxcpus=2 androidboot.selinux=enforcing androidboot.emmc=true androidboot.serialno=709xxxxxxxx301G7 androidboot.prod=1 androidboot.baseband=apq

root@bueller:/ #

Does this mean, it is unlocked?

a) if it is not unlocked, is it possible for me to unlock bootloader again?

b) if not, can I go restore to stock w/o root?

if yes, can i follow the guide on aftvnews?

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-fully-unlock-the-amazon-fire-tv-bootloader/

Btw, i was able to update to 5.2.7.2 r1 latest using pre-rooted from TWRP.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_7:
Hey, great to hear that you got your FireTV back, another success story! (credit to Sus_i & rbox)

This is what Sus_i told me:

For checking bootloader status, simply run

adb shell

su

cat /proc/cmdline

Bootloader is unlocked if you see: androidboot.unlocked_kernel=true

Yes, its good to have unlocked bootloader (I've no clue if that's possible again after doing the dd). Sus_i will most likely give us an answer on this thread or mine.

Best regards.

Well I updated ROM via SD card and now I have "Update Complete" "Update Success" on the screen but it's just sitting there and hasn't rebooted itself ???

I thought when it was finished it rebooted itself, does this mean the Hermes has hung at the last part or I need to do a reset manually myself ?

After it says Update Complete or Success, you need to press the reset button...

I don't know what I did but my accessibility services keeps turning off every like 10-15 minutes. I have to re enable them. How do I fix?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesm113:
I've had an LG G8 (Android 9, no root) for a 10 months now. After a few weeks of use, the Bluetooth audio quality degrades (SBC only). If I perform a factory reset, the audio quality is restored - at least for a few weeks. Audio quality is fine on AptX, etc devices.

I'm wondering what troubleshooting steps I can take to try to resolve this issue, other than factory reseting my phone every 2 weeks. I've tried clearing the cache/storage for both Bluetooth apps.

Is there a way I can see the bitrate the phone is using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesm113:
Ok, I've done some reading (here and here ) and learned a lot about the SBC codec and bluetooth.

SBC has an attribute called bitpool that affects bitrate. bitpool is apparently artificially limited to 53 in the android bluetooth stack. Bitpool appears to be some sort of multiple that affects bitrate.

Typical bitrate is 328kbps.

Anyway, I tried enabling "Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log" in the developer settings and retrieved the bug report. It seems like I am getting 328kbps, which isn't awful.

Looking through the bugreport txt files, it looks like the bitpool max is 35:

Last week was my 2nd purchase of S10e when i sold my first one probably 6 months ago. I was one of the early adopters of s10e and now the price here in Southeast Asia dropped to USD434.

I currently own Note10 and now this again. All i can say is Samsung should have made an option for a FLAT and compact screen in the upcoming s20 lineup that can directly rival the regular iPhone 11 Pro.

Aside from Google and Sony, there is no other OEM that builds a compact flagship phone anymore which is disappointing.

So you are replacing your note with 10e? Can I ask why?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Wutang200:
There's too much issues/bugs with this phone that makes it hard for me to recommend to anyone.

1. The RAM management is awful! For example, if you split the screen with a random app and something like Twitter, each time you resume browsing your timeline, it automatically refreshes back to the beginning! Also Incognito tabs in Chrome don't stay in memory for very long.

2. Hidden albums seem to automatically disappear after a while!

3. Unable to control home devices such as Thermostat or Hue lights whilst phone is locked when using Google Assistant.

4. Battery section doesn't even show basic stuff like screen on time since last charge which means you have ti resort to third pay apps for features that I feel should be native to it.

5. Certain settings are unnecessarily hidden such as enabling the battery percentage. You won't find this under the Battery section. Had to Google it in the end!

6. Randomly the phone says it's restarted when it's not. Really annoying because then I have to type the password each time this happens as the fingerprint reader won't work until this is done.

There's a few note issues I've found that I can't remember off the top of my head. Stick to the iPhone guys!

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

7. Photos look like oil paintings! Not very natural at all.

8. No way to natively check battery health.

9. Face recognition not secure enough as even the banks won't support it!

Even if its already at the very left side, it will not work until I move it a bit.

Is there a way to fix this? from the looks of it, it seems to be a software problem. my current "fix" that i have in my mind is to somehow automate pressing left then right once every time I turn on the car probably using tasker if that is at all possible.

Like for example: A sticky thread informing you of what variants have unlocked bootloader or not, or what devices can be rooted what not, whether it's safe to update to the latest software, etc etc you get the gist of it.

But it never really went anywhere.

While several Index were created

Participation from anyone other than the OPs

Was almost nonexistent.

Very few people have the time or knowledge

To maintain such threads.
[General Topics] noddledizzy:
It does not really need to get maintained as much.Like for example: once X device is known to not allow bootloader unlocking, or X update won't let you downgrade thus you will lose the ability to root, etc etc. then it is established as it is. It takes a few minutes to just compile vital information on such devices. And the community for each individual device's forum should be responsible for each meta do's and don't sticky thread. Not a limited group of people who have to go to every single Android devices and compile each roms and guides like the project you linked me to. This isn't exactly what I'm proposing. Ggain, it's just a simple do's and don't/warning stick thread on each device's forums.

I mean I will be willing to make and maintain such thread in my devices' forums if this were a global rule on XDA. Because I don't want other people to make mistakes like I did just because I didn't find the information that is buried in a 100 page post.

Let me make an example. For my LGV30:

Thread title: Read me first/LGV30 Meta and Do's and Don't *sticky

+Updating to Stock PIE will require you to set your Selinux to Permissive in order to use AOSP/LOS roms

+sH932(T-mobile) is the only device with unlocked bootloader and require a more complicated root method

+US998(factory unlocked) is the preferred device because it can easily be converted to H930 which makes it compatible to all roms and overall have more support.

+Only H932 variant does not support Android 10

(etc etc...)

that wasn't so hard, if threads like this get enforced in all individual devices' forum, then it will reduce the amount of time people have to look, scavenging threads and also reduce questions all together. And also preventing people from making mistakes.
