tl;dr -- How do I restore my original FireTabletSettings.apk to /system/priv-app/FireTabletSettings without adb? --or-- How do I enable adb without the settings panel?

Hi all. I'm reaching out to the amazing braintrust here on xda-d in hopes that maybe someone has some guidance. My most recent adventure has been de-amazon-ing my kids new HD10. And for the most part, I have been quite successful thanks to the wealth of knowledge here in this forum. I've managed to get it rooted, de-bloated, replaced the launcher, and even re-enabled a critical feature not found in the Amazon version of Android (screen pinning, essential for 2 year olds!).

But..... (there's always a 'but'..)..... but.. I have discovered I have somehow managed to lock myself out of adb on this particular device. I did search the forum first, finding nothing helpful for this. In order to get screen-pinning back I rolled the dice and used DragonFire1024's rewritten FireTabletSettings.apk, against the recommendation to avoid it with OS versions after 5.6.2.0 (I'm unfortunately running 5.3.7). I accept full responsibility, it was my gamble. The result is screenpinning resurrected (yay!), but also my settings panel is a mine field of broken links. Apparently much has changed in the settings after 5.6.2. Including how they refer to adb. So tapping on the enable box for USB debugging (here called 'enable adb') crashes the settings panel.

The situation is far from hopeless though, because I am rooted, and I had backed up the original FireTabletSettings.apk to the downloads folder on the tablet. However, when I try to copy it to the /system/priv-app/FireTabletSettings folder, CX tells me it's read-only and can't copy it over. I have it in root mode, and even tried enabling adbd insecure for good measure. But no joy. I do not currently have a recovery (twrp or other) installed.

So I need guidance on how to either enable write permissions (temporarily) on the settings folder or on how to install a recovery, all without adb. Or if there's some backdoor way to enable adb, that would work too.

Thanks for any advice.

UPDATE: Hey friends, I just wanted to update this thread with my progress (albeit negative progress, unfortunately). It seems my gamble with this ill-advised mod has failed pretty hard. I'm updating as a cautionary tale to others considering modding their settings file outside the recommended OS versions. I can say pretty confidently: DON'T DO IT.

EDIT: After initially getting stuck after a hard reset, I was able to manually flash an Amazon rom using adb sideload. This did the trick. It is now full factory stock, including the settings panel. I have to do everything over again (except messing with the settings panel), but I have control of my tablet again. The moral of the story is, unless your os version is supported, don't mess with the settings panel. It will rob hours of your life you'll never get back.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] theenlightened1:
Hi!

Last night my phone started acting up when I connected the USB cable to charge it (connected to PC).. it kept saying the phone is charging slowly so I had to take the cable out and reinsert it multiple times to get it to charge properly.. today when I was charging using my powerbank the screen turned off and when I tried to use the phone it was unresponsive so I restarted using vol - and power. Now when I restart the phone it turns off and only boots if I press vol - and power for 10 secs.. also when I turn it off I cannot turn it back on by pressing only the power button and I have to press vol - and power together to boot.

In the Developer Mode Options.. USB Configuration screen is completely blank.. All I see it "Only Once" and "Always" options with nothing above them.

I cleared cache and that seemed to fix it for several hours (maybe a fluke) but now even that is not working. I upgraded to Pie using LGUP a month ago and did not experience any problems since this. Now the phone is not detecting ANY connections in the USB port (PC connection or wall-charger) meaning I cannot charge it. I do not have a wireless charger on hand to test wireless charging. I tried soft resetting it using the Factory Reset option inside the OS. Made no difference. Cleaned the lint out of the port using a thin plastic straw.. still the same.

Has anyone else ever experienced this? Is the charging port bad? or will somehow charging it using wireless charger (if that works) and then going back to Oreo fix it? Can hard reset work? I had less than 30% charge remaining so I turned the phone off.. will turn it back on in the morning to see if that made any difference.

Help.. :crying:

Update: Hard reset did not fix it.

Update2: Phone charges for a while when I reboot it by pressing the vol - and power from within the OS.. charging normally now and also letting me choose USB configuration mode... will see in the morning if its charged and responsive..
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, Qi wireless charging can charge if USB port is messed up.

Yes, hard Reset can fix stuff also.

Rather than PC and powerbanks, I would stay with regular plug wall charger, preferably with QuickCharge 3.0.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] theenlightened1:
I don't think its a HW issue.. seems to be a Pie issue.. I had the AME Oreo on this phone and LG did not release the Pie for the region so I installed the HK Pie on this.. maybe that is the problem and I need to refurb the SW using LGUP again or downgrade to Oreo :confused:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] theenlightened1:
I'm in a job where I am mobile most of the time and do not have access to wall chargers.. Have my laptop and powerbank with me at all times though.. Thanks for your help.. :good:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] k2pdx:
I agree on it being a Pie issue. My V30 is having ISB Configuration problems too - can ONLY detect it to charge, 0 other communication with 3 computers using 4 different cables.

The vol down + power trick doesn't make mine work at all either. Currently I am stuck with a fairly useless Verizon phone because I can't use the damn USB connection on it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I'm still on rooted stock Oreo firmware because I don't see anything better about LG's Pie. The last Oreo is the most stable.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] k2pdx:
I wouldn't be on Pie if the phone wasn't already on it when given to me. Seems like it broke USB Configuration on a lot of phone models, but the V30 still hasn't been issued a fix and nobody can explain why not all V30 were affected. Verizon basically told me to go **** myself because I am not a Verizon customer, lol
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] theenlightened1:
Fixed it once by reflashing the software using LGUP and now its back again... backing up now to reflash... this is a pain in the backside.. took just 3 months for the USB to start acting up again.. I got the moisture or debris in USB port message this morning.. so cleaned out the USB port and now acting up just like in my OP...

Hi,

I'm developing an Android VPN client. I want to know my best options to make a one-click-to-connect vpn client. There is openvpn but the problem with it is the license. I'll have to pay for concurrent users. So, what are my free or cheapest options.

Is there a way to use a vpn that only allows certain apps or ports and the rest are not allowed to use this VPN?

Hi. I have a Samsung S10 (G973U) from T-Mobile. I am currently on Android 10, update February 2020 (G973USQS3CTA3)

I need to go back to android version 9. Can you tell me the firmware to download? I am BIT 3.

Unfortunately, you're on v3 bootloader and cannot go back to Android 9 as that is on v2 and older.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] supertac:
only if your on the same bootloader version "whitch I think is V4"

its likely your phone is on a later version
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] MtnX2:
Since this thread comes up in searches, I thought it would be good to add that as of now, the Snapdragon 973U can be rooted. The bootloader can be unlocked if it is version 4 or less. There are threads on XDA that tell how.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Doman:
I am also looking for this option to try Resurrection Remix ROM. Anyone knows what is the last version of bootloader for Android 10?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] MtnX2:
For the beyond1qlte (Galaxy S10 SM-G973U Qualcomm) the latest bootloader version is 6 afaik.

To check your bootloader version look at 5th character from the right of your Android build number.

Examples:

bootloader version 5: N970USQS5EUA1

bootloader version 6: N970USQU6FUB7

Neither of those can be unlocked. As I said above, you need to be on 4 or earlier to unlock the bootloader on this device. @afaneh92 can give you more info.

EDIT: Oh, sorry. I misread your question. I don't know the last BL version for 10.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] afaneh92:
He can flash android 10 if he is on rev 4 or below
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
According to https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10/firmware/#SM-G973U latest USA Android 10 firmware had bootloader 4 (per the check MtnX2 mentioned). You can look at other countries if you are not in the USA.

On Snapdragon phones, you cannot downgrade the bootloader, so if you're already on Android 11 or a newer bootloader, you're stuck there and cannot go to an older version.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] MtnX2:
I recently purchased (from ebay) a Galaxy S10 with Android 11 and bootloader version 4, and I was able to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM. It wasn't easy to find the device because now most S10s are updated.

Image attached showing Android 11 and BL v4.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Doman:
I have an Exynos from Europe, already at Android 11 with bit v14... the latest one. I have found some older bootloader, but flashing with Odin was refused, with TWRP flasing process was successful, but it did not change the bit... so I guess I stuck with Android 11.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I believe Exynos can still be downgraded. The process is different for Exynos vs Snapdragon, so you may want to look into it more deeply... you just have to find Exynos-specific threads for the matter.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] afaneh92:
Its not exynos thread, but will answer you.

You can flash firmware has same bootloader rev, I assume 14=E

So only firmware with E on 5th character from the right on build number.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] jul17pri:
Hello!

My first time playing with custom roms and my first post here. This is what happens:

I install MIUI 11

I boot the the phone into system

The MI.com/Unlocked splash screen is displayed for about 45 seconds

The screen goes blank

The MI.com/Unlocked screen is displayed again

It boots into recovery, which is TWRP.

Why is MIUI 11 not starting? How do I debug to find out what's going wrong?

I tried installing various custom ROMs. There was no problem unlocking the phone, installing drivers and adb on the laptop, installing TWRP on the phone.

After installing the first ROM, the phone went into a bootloader loop and I thought I'd bricked the phone :) but after running...

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-15-Mi9SE.img

...it could boot into recovery so then I could install another ROM.

After installing...

crDroidAndroid-10.0-20200311-grus-v6.4.zip

...downloaded from sourceforge.net mi9se project, it would only boot recovery but not system, until I issued the command...

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/misc

...as described by android.stackexchange.com user nholtappels.

So one custom ROM is working!

I tried installing MIUI Android 9...

xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9SE_V11.0.1.0.QFBCNXM_v11-10.zip

...and android 10...

xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9SE_V11.0.3.0.PFBCNXM_v11-9.zip

...downloaded from sourceforge xiaomi-eu-multilang-miui-roms project

During both the installs, the zip signature verified, there were no errors and they finished with

script succeeded: result was [0]

Updating partition details...

...done

But the system doesn't start, it just boots back into recovery. I tried both the vbmeta and dd fixes but still no luck. What to try next?

Thanks!

If you flash miui Rom from custom stock based android you should flash miui with miflash first. Or restore miui backup. Then flash xiaomi.eu (for example) without system wipe.

Then TWRP to install xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9SE_V11.0.2.0.QFBCNXM_v11-10.zip

Now the phone is running Android 10 with MIUI 11

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] coolek33:
Glad I could help.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] jul17pri:
After more experimentation, this is what I have found out...

1) It's important which version of the stock ROM is installed on the phone before the custom ROM is flashed. Most Android 9 ROMs work on top of any grus_global_images_V10.*, but some require one later than this or earlier than that (PixelExperience 9.7.4 to 9.8.1) or even one specific version (e.g. XenonHD 10.3.4.0 PFBEUXM).

Sometimes the instructions say 'install the latest version' but then a new version is released that it doesn't work with e.g. grus_global_images_V11.*

It would be useful if instructions stated more clearly which versions a custom ROM does/doesn't work on. Maybe some people like to dig through many pages of replies to find out and learn other useful stuff in the process, but some people just want to install a ROM and have it work.

2) MiFlash is not required to install stock ROMs. You can use fastboot instead. Just run flash_all.bat on Windows or flash_all.sh on Linux/Mac. If fastboot is not on the path, open a command shell, change to the folder containing the fastboot executable and invoke the script using a full absolute path.

This is useful if you don't have administrator access, or just don't like giving it to downloaded software.

I hope another newbie finds this useful. Don't give up, keep trying.

Hello I flashed latest Evolution X rom based on android 10 for poco F1 recently.

The rom is just awesome for me except one thing that is I can't disable sim card from the setting like before. As I use two sim cards one for work another for home. But no option to disable sim card. It's only showing to disable sim card remove the sim. So is there any module or app available for this settings to enable or I have to wait for rom update?

Google decided to remove this feature, see https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/i2u573/not_possible_to_disable_one_sim_card_los_171_why/. I only know an open source custom ROM, crDroid, supporting this. Maybe it is better to ask them whether it is possible to isolate this feature as an app or something.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Nachtbaron:
Hey guys,

can somebody help me to go back to the original firmware of the Galaxy Y?

I have model number GT-5363 (German 02 version, but same hardware as the normal GT-5360).

I tried to flash Lineage 9 and CM9, but it didn´t work, because I couldn´t install TWRP or the Custom Roms because of "wrong model number".

I asked afaneh92 and he told me to change the updater-script, which I did. Now I was able to install TWRP and the ROMs, but both Custom ROMs don´t go further than the bootscreen. One time I reached the Lockscreen with Lineage, but the phone seemed to be frozen then.

Since I still want to use my phone, I want to go back to Stock Rom or another (working) Custom Rom.

By the way: I wasn´t able to restore my backup with Clockworkmod 5.0.2.8. It seems to be a well known bug in this version.

Can somebody please help?
[OnePlus 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dianoandr:
Hi,

I am happy to share my Framework-res mod, specific for Oneplus 7 with Openbeta firmware.

My work includes the following changes:

- Disabled keyboard switcher notification

- Disabled high volume warning

- Enabled burnin protection

- Changed battery notification low level from 15% to 10%

- Enabled 360° rotation

- Reduced navigation bar height from 48dp to 41dp

It is a magisk module and I want to repeat that it can only be used on Oneplus 7 with Openbeta firmware

I'm trying it and it doesn't seem to show any problems but

I still recommend making a backup before trying it.

To remove the mod, simply uninstall the module using magisk manager or, if this is not usable, from recovery twrp, using the file manager deleting the module "Framework-res mods" that you find at the following path:

/data/adb/modules

My big thanks go to @Tulsadiver, for giving me the right tips to be able to make the mod and for passing me the VRThemer module, without His help I would not have been able to avoid the bootloop :D

P.S. If you want the mod for other firmware versions, please send me your framework-res.apk and I will prepare the specific module.
