[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryccardo:
On every boot - and it's just some text that appears over the bootlogo, just like on the Nexus 5, a bit ugly but not that much of a big deal, how often do you reboot anyway (once you have decided which rom you really want)? :)

Not exactly like that but yes: first you lock the bootloader (fastboot flashing lock) then you restore all modified partitions (I did this using spflash, which the official lenovo recovery program is a frontend for), and yes it gets rid of the unlocked warning unlike on the Moto E for example!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zero_Shadow:
For the 8705-F stock Android 10 image there seems to be a new Android 10 update. Hopefully fix some of the bugs we have with this image. It's labeled TB-8705F_USR_S30043_2101271807_V9.56_BMP_ROW.

My device is rooted using the method listed here and using Magisk. To take this update do I simply need to restore the Boot.img in Magisk or something more since we replaced the vbmeta?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zero_Shadow:
Since I havent got any replies I'll journal what I have done to see if I can get this to work.

4/13 - I tried to uninstall Magisk and take the update it said it was missing the stock boot.img so I decided to wipe the device (nothing was on it anyway).

After wiping the device still not able to update to the ota. Tried to relock the bootloader but it wont let me so. Maybe I can restore the orginal vbmeta and maybe that will fix it. Will try and update when I return.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isrgish:
You need to restore the original boot.img and the vbmeta.img as well. If you installed any changed recovery you will need to restore that original as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zero_Shadow:
Thanks for replying I actually had to use the SP Flash Tool to wipe and restore the image.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meth0d:
So the next Question arises, how to take OTA :)

Installing TB_8705F_S300071_210713_BMP OTA fails, i guess i have to restore the original boot.img from S300043_210127. Hope i can find that somewhere.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaser42:
I need to apply the latest OTA to TB-8705F_USR_S300043_2101271807_V9.56_BMP_ROW.

Unfortunately I no longer have the stock boot.img for that version and I need it for the update. Would anyone here be able to point me to a copy of that file?

Many Thanks!

Chaser
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isrgish:
Which version do you have now? You probably need the original of this version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaser42:
Sorry, I should have said that I'm currently on TB-8705F_USR_S300043_210127 and I need to apply the OTA to get to TB-8705F_USR_S300071_210713. So, yeah, I'm looking for the original boot.img of the version I'm at currently.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meth0d:
I am trying to Take the OTA for TB-8705F_S300093_211116_BMP and i am currently on TB_8705F_S300071_210713_BMP. I restored the Stock boot IMG but the OTA always fails with "error" and reboots.

Any hints on how to take OTA ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isrgish:
Need to go remove all changes to firmware. (boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meth0d:
Well I tried that, reflashed boot and vbmeta from my current firmware. I have no custom recovery. OTA Update fails approx halfway through.

I used the recovery tool to flash the current version since I didn't have much stuff on the tab anyways.

But would be nice to know for upcoming updates.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meth0d:
How would that get modified? I used magisk to patch boot an the vbmeta to flash it, so far I can follow but what would modify the system image? Is that not something that changes all the time anyways? (Android)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isrgish:
I'm familiar enough to really answer but once rooted you can change the system.img. I'm not sure if this would happen by default or only if make changes. But I know that I have made changes to my system.img with adding some files there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaistancu:
Hi guys!

I just went through a week of misery and pain trying to root my Lenovo tab M8 FHD, TB-8705F. I managed to do it in the end, so problem solved. The reason why I wanted to do it is because I plan to install the tablet in my car and I wanted to change that horrible boot animation that runs in the beginning and replace it with a picture of my choosing.

So far, I've managed to replace the bootanimation.zip in the root directory, but the result is not what I expected.

When booting, there is no more old animation, but there is still a black screen with the Lenovo logo on it and that stays in the beginning and then the word "android" with some animation. Any thoughts on where I should further look for other animation folders?

Or how to tackle this permanently?

Thank you very much!

I have a Tab M8 (gen 2) and wanted to root it. I've seen several online guides and the comments here, but they all follow different steps so I'm not sure if i got it right.

Edit: I saw this post from 2020, is it still relevant / enough for rooting on android 10?

[Android Head-Units] BOOMER-USA:
First, I want to say thank you to a wonderful site.

I bricked my XTRONS PSD60UNK head unit over the weekend while trying to learn about rooting etc, so this site is a life saver. I thought I had properly saved the bin from the unit prior to doing anything as the name of the file that was copied to my SD card called "ts8227Lfactory.bin" but it is only a 4kb file.

I found a thread with a older 8227L bin and another showing a video on how to enable the unit to discover the file from the USB drive on boot up and able to restore it tonight.

Here is the radio showing the bin/firmware it uses:

[IMG="XTRONS PSD60UNK bin/firmware I need"]http://xtrons.com/media/catalog/product/cache/c127353c8a050029c2cdfd24570b9e69/p/s/psd60unk-1.jpg[/IMG]

It appears to be running on Android 10, although there are references to version 8.1 on some files...

I reached out to XTRONS Monday morning to see if I can obtain the correct firmware/binary (see pic) but they are slow to respond, so I thought I'd ask if anyone here might be able to provide it or a link to it in the meantime.

Thank you in advance.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] endstille:
Dear XDA,

Due to some bug research (mediascanner ignoring CD number, if the album has more than one disc) i've deleted my mediaserver data.

Some time later, checking my LineageOS17.1, i've realised it seems to be google decision, not a bug in OxyOS :crying:

Also later i realized that it more or less also killed my ringtones for calls, alarms and so on.

As i would prefer to not factory-reset my device, is it possible to get a default database again, probably as APK :confused:

Thanks for you time and help :highfive:

Kind regards

Could ambient mode be ported to this device?

I know we have the pixel stand as the trigger on pixel devices for it to work but could it not be somehow changed to activate when using another charger?

I'd love to have it on my p3 but don't want to fork out the expense for a pixel stand, especially now Google are giving it to some devices being charged normally.

I'm suspicious of Weather Bug. I remember a few years back, this app would sneak in on my desktop and was a pain to remove it. Seems like it was part of some spy/ad ware.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MrEous:
Very nice...thank you. I loved weatherbug back in the day before subscription, I hope it stays free this time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Trypticon:
QFT

I have to agree with you on that... LOL I wouldn't even install weather bug on your device if I didn't like you. It's spyware and you should avoid it. Why not try weather to go or weather watcher mobile?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MrEous:
After testing for a few days I ended up uninstalling it. For some reason it seemed to drain my battery faster.

I'll just settle for my Throttlelauncher weather now, after flashing Throttle Diamond.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kimtyson:
Weatherbug is draining your battery because it is known to constantly connect not only to get weather updates but to also perform its adware\spyware functions. I would stay away from it. Once installed it is very hard to get rid of.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ChumleyEX:
WeatherBug pwns you all..

I love weatherbug
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gwnorth:
Such FUD.

Weatherbug for the PC desktop, the free version, certainly does contain adware.

But this is a Today Screen Plugin folks. What adware is going to run on a today screen plugin on a mobile phone? Spyware? Spying what for crying out loud?

And to remove it, go to remove programs, and poof, it's gone, as gone as any other today plugin.

And if it's draining the batter, try going into options and changing the update frequency so it's not banging away at your data connection all the time. Any weather app will drain the battery if it's updating frequently enough.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ChumleyEX:
gwnorth pwnz you all now too.

sorry I just had to use that pic. Just look at that cat, omg I can't stop laughing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MrEous:
I agree 100%

gwnorth is correct, no problems whatsoever uninstalling the program. Yes, the pc version was a little difficult to uninstall back in the day.

The program was connecting to the internet each time I woke the phone from sleep mode. It wasn't a phenomenal amount of battery drain but it was noticeable to me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kimtyson:
We obviously have a difference of opinion about the PPC version. The one thing we all do seem to agree on is the PC version was somewhat nefarious. Based on the history you should be skeptical of the newest PPC version. Weatherbug is not to be trusted, in my opinion. But you are free to add whatever you want to your PPC. I am not as confident as you are that it is completely removed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MrEous:
I flash my ROM to something new at least once a week...believe me, even if I didn't completely remove it I won't ever see it again on my Tilt. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] McHale:
there's always weather watcher mobile. It's free and his desktop software is really good (and ad free)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jonny_ringo_wvu:
I like the severe weather alerts (too many damn tornadoes in Kentucky), and I'm not aware of any other weather apps that will sound an alarm if severe weather is inbound. If others can be made to do this I would like to try them out. Its not that I dislike weatherbug, I've just been using it for years.

[Samsung Gear S3] paulmin:
Yesterday afternoon my Gear S3 disconnected spontaneously from the phone (Redmi Note 8T) as it does from time to time and I haven't been able to reconnect or pair it again ever since.

I reset the watch, uninstalled and reinstalled the phone app but the pairing never finishes. It goes through the motions both on the phone and the watch, the watch appears in the list of paired BT devices but it always comes up with "Connection failed. Try again." on the watch and goes back to "Pick your device" on the phone app. I am at the end of my witts with this one.

Can anyone help?
[Samsung Gear S3] archael:
I am experiencing the exact same thing, it started this morning. I did install a new ROM last night, no issues so its possible that is related but I'm not seeing anything on the ROM forum about this issue. Did you install a new ROM recently?
[Samsung Gear S3] paulmin:
I am just running everything stock, so there may have been an official update to either the Tizen or Galaxy Wearable app in the background but nothing that I have done.
[Samsung Gear S3] archael:
Yeah it seems like it, well I'm glad to know I didn't directly cause it, before your post I wasn't seeing this issue anywhere. I saw some posts from years ago but were fixed with minor changes that didn't work for me.
[Samsung Gear S3] paulmin:
SOLVED.

FYI this has been resolved.

It was the Samsung Health app on the phone that was hogging the pairing for some reason. In desperation and trying everything possible I removed and reinstalled the Health and after that the S3 paired no problem.
[Samsung Gear S3] archael:
I was very hopeful when I read your message! But that was not my problem. I tried reinstalling and no dice, tried uninstalling and trying to pair and still no luck. I'm glad yours is working now!
[Samsung Gear S3] ardennguyen:
Try this, it worked for me:

Find "Gear S Plugin" app in All Apps List, force stop, then clear cache, clear data

Remove your Gear S3 from Bluetooth paired device

Uninstall, reinstall both Samsung Health and Galaxy Wearable apps

Restart your Gear S3 and go through setup steps in Galaxy Wearable app again

Hey, thanks for the tip, it didn't work for me but I appreciate the attempt to assist.

GrapheneOS for Razer 2

​

About GrapheneOS :

GrapheneOS is an open source privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.

GrapheneOS is a privacy / security research and engineering project that has been under way for over 5 years. It recently became rebranded as GrapheneOS and is taking a different direction based on obtaining funding for the research and development work as a non-profit open source project rather than being a company. The reborn project is still in a very early stage and lots of the past work on privacy and security has not yet been restored for the new incarnation of the OS.

The grapheneos.org site is very new and is currently being put together. It will have lots of additional documentation and tutorials in the future along with coverage of various software, firmware and hardware privacy/security topics.

GrapheneOS is being supported with funding and developers from various companies and other organizations interested in contributing to this shared base for a feature rich private and secure mobile operating system able to run many existing applications. It will take more time to organize and deploy these resources in order for the project to have a strong development team with proper infrastructure behind it.

* ONE LAST REMINDER THIS GRAPHENEOS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DAILY USE, IF YOU WANT A AOSP ROM FOR DAILY USE WAIT FOR MY UNOFFICIAL AEX Q and Havoc Pie/Q ROMS CHEERS *

* Why Final Release : This would be A onetime release of this UNOFFICIAL ROM I'll be focusing more in AEX Pie/Q, Pixel Pie/Q and Havoc Pie/Q.*

[Razer Phone 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Generic123.:
I don't mean to be mean, but I feel like you should label them as patched GSIs then, as opposed to a dedicated ROM made specifically for the hardware of the Razer Phone 2. It's still awesome that you're working to make GSIs better for the Razer Phone 2; they're nearly daily driver material in my opinion.
