READ!!!

All the answers are in this forum my friend. Do you honestly think you're the first person to have an issue flashing a ROM? Start at the top and read. You'll find the answer somewhere. If I knew how to do it off the top of my head I'd tell you myself, but I don't, so I'd have to read the forum to find out myself so I could tell you!!

[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
Problem statement: I have been looking to make a full backup of my phone, so that I have it in case device breaks or gets lost. I am aware there are app backup tools, but they all rely on application cooperating; some apps won't - for example Authenticator app will refuse to backup, and migrating to new device would be tedious, especially if it's lost. I would like to be able to do a one-time non-persistent root, which allows me to use titanium backup.

I understand there is a bootloader-based root now possible, which is useful, as it persists. But it will erase data before applying. Which makes sense, as that's protecting user data from being lifted from device by third party. But it defeats the purpose

I wonder if there's some sort of an exploit that could get me rooted temporarily, and then it goes away on reboot.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
LG Bridge can make a backup.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
Is that a full backup, similar to titanium, or is it a regular adb backup?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric janaika:
Can't Qfil do it? That's not unlock based, it's firehose based(and typically used in the process of unlocking).
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
Can you explain in a little bit more details, how are you proposing to use qfil, what problem will it solve?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
More like Titanium.

You install LG Bridge on your PC, connect your phone and back up.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric janaika:
I was under the impression it can read partitions as well as write. Is that not the case?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
So, you saying it is capable of reading data partition from a _locked_ device? I was always assuming it's impossible by design

Update: you might be right... Per https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/development/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207 it seems like it might be possible. I'll go ahead and try it out. Thanks!
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
Do you know if LG Bridge is similar in functionality to LG Mobile Switch? I just made a backup using Mobile Switch and used 7z to extract data. It backed up authenticator apk, but none of it's data. In other words, it's pretty much same as adb backup in functionality
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Two different pieces of software with totally different purposes.

https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-lg-bridge-your-lg-phone
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
UPDATE:

* [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] LG Bridge on windows PC flat out refused to back up. "Your phone is not supported for backing up with LG Bridge"

* [MENTION=10029013]Eric janaikat[/MENTION] QFIL connected to device in download mode (restart then Vol Up), but "Partition Manager" is grayed out. I'm not sure if that's correct mode to use. Perhaps, it is because device is not boot-unlocked. Unlocking will cause reset, which defeats the purpose. Or, perhaps I'm just not putting device in correct mode.

* Update2: Also put the phone into "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" mode, and tried to use qfil. Partition manager is still grayed out.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric janaika:
Did you follow the guide you linked? Seems like they show you how to backup the partitions in the guide. Did you select the firehose programmer? Did you remember to put it in UFS mode?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
I think we might be getting somewhere here, but I'm not sure. I got a programmer selected, and now I can see partition manager enabled. But it still won't open (see screenshot). It seems that the instructions had reference to "rawprogram0.xml", but I can't see where can I find one...
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
okay... I did finally pull the `userdata` from device. Now what? I can't decrypt it. I think the android is using hardware key derivation, which makes it impossible to mount userdata outside the phone it was generated on. That means I can't copy it to another device either. Am I incorrect?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric janaika:
That might be so. I haven't had to try myself, but I imagine Qfil doesn't decrypt it. You just need a backup so you can restore to the same phone after unlocking right? The key shouldn't change should it?

If you want a general purpose backup, make one after you root it.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
I think there's hardware module which stores part of key derivation information. If you reset phone, it's gone. Since you indicated you never did it yourself, I don't believe I want to try it either, since my goal is to make reliable backup BEFORE my phone is destroyed

We are going in circles here. That was exactly the purpose if my post - I want to get root, so I can backup. I can't root it via unlocking bootloader, since it will erase the very data I'm looking to backup
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
Have you been able to even use LG Bridge to backup v35? Specifically, LM-V350ULM. My attempts were met with "Your phone is not supported for backing up with LG Bridge". If you were, did it successfully restore apps which resist being backed up, such as google authenticator?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKHenderson:
I was able to backup but mine is LM-V350AWM. I used the LG Bridge to backup, meaning the usb cable not the wifi bit (I think they call that LG Air Drive). It made a backup that I can load on the phone and it keeps my steam auth.

Only problem is that the file on my computer is not a format I can read (.lbf). I would really like to get this backup to read to see what exactly it did store but after making the backup it seems I am stuck.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] galets:
UPDATE: rooting device seems to be too much of a nuisance. What I did instead is modify google authenticator to allow backing up database using one-way encryption (e.g.: can't read it back if device is hacked). If anybody is interested, I can publish source code after bringing it into a publishable state.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ico2k2:
My goal is to create a system backup (including Android OS) of my Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F), just like I can do on my PC using Acronis True Image or other similar programs, because now I have Pie but Android 10 is available, and I want to be able to roll back in case of bugs.

I've found out one of the best ways of doing this is using TWRP. Flashing a custom recovery means making changes (editing recovery partition), but some say TWRP can be run even without being installed, and that was my intent. I tried on my old Galaxy S5 mini and I could successfully run TWRP without rewriting recovery partition.

However, it turned out that bootloader unlocking is needed. No problem, I thought: I'll unlock it, backup system, and lock it again. But when I tried to switch the 'OEM unlock' item, a dialog appeared saying that my device would have been formatted and Samsung Knox services would stop working.

I was wondering:

- if I do enable OEM unlock and erase data, setting OEM unlock to off would reactivate Knox services?

- is there a way to actually unlock bootloader without erasing data?

- is there any hidden method to boot TWRP without unlocking bootloader?

- is there any better way to backup whole system and data?

I may have already partially answered the last question: using adb backup I backup as much data as possible, and by downloading OS image from Sammobile.com I have an OS backup. Can it work? If I decide to "restore" that kind of backup there would be any kind of data that would be lost during this particular roll back procedure?

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer-joe:
Hi everyone, I've just bought a preowned Nexus 9 LTE perfectly working but a couple of days ago audio stopped working both on speakers and headphone jack.

YouTube is showing message saying "There was a problem while playing, playback id XXXXXXXXXXXXX, tap to retry" both using the app or the browser, videos only start when browsing in incognito mode but without audio. Netflix has the same behaviour as YouTube (the error is 'there is a problem playing the video.please try again (5.0)'

Cleaning the apps' cache or wiping the cache partition via recovery didn't work.

Now it comes to the even weirder thing, as i connected my bluetooth headphones everything magically worked fine.

Device has unlocked bootloader, TWRP and latest stock ROM.

------------------------ Edit ---------------------------

I tried flashing LineageOS 15.1 + Opengapps micro, videos on YouTube start now but still i get no audio from speakers or wired headphones. Netflix still can't can't play movies, error is the same as above.

On LineageOS i get an error at startup saying 'AudioFX has stopped' then i decided to install Viper4AndroidFX via Magisk, the app crash after cuople of seconds i open it!

Has anyone experienced the same or has any clue what's going on? Do you think is it an hardware issue? Any suggestion is appreciated and if further information is needed it will be provided

The ROM i tried (and i suggest since it runs very smoothly) can be found here:

I made this boot animation back in my Epic 4G phone days(2012), and only just rediscovered it while getting my PH-1 rooted and getting LOS running. The animation and the sound both play, but the sound doesn't play until about the last second of the animation(both animation and audio are about 8sec), and only part of the sound plays, not all of it. I was wondering if someone could take a look at it and see if something is off about it, maybe even test it if you're feeling adventurous. It's a stupid dramatic cat (similar to "dramatic chipmunk") animation, but I was super proud of it back in the day and I'd love to see if I can get it working again properly on modern hardware.

I have updated my phone to android 10 and everything went great, it worked fine and I was pretty happy.

I drive Hyundai Tucson 2017 and using phone (via bluetooth) in the car was great, but since my upgrade there is no sound from the phone (any sound, playing music or phone call) and I can't answer or make the call from the car, phone is pretty useless in the car now (or car is pretty useless with the phone now).

I deleted bluetooth device, and connected fresh and it didn't help. Is there any option I should check? I spent an hour looking through settings and couldn't find anything related. What are other options? Going back to android 9? Hopefully not. Just don't tell me to go to car dealer and ask them to update firmware, I would rather kill myself :)
