[Android Head-Units] CreedODI:
I'm currently in the market for an android 10" double din stereo to replace my old OEM radio. I currently have an Atoto A6 in my 4Runner and so far I have really liked it, however, I would like to find a stereo with a bigger screen for another vehicle. So what options are available out there? Any that are recommended? So far I've looked into the Dasaita, Atoto, and Joying varients, but would like to consider all possible options before purchasing a new unit.

Thanks!

Hi all, I have a few questions,

I have made a whatsapp backup before switching to new phone, and then after switching to new phone, i forgot to restore, and end up using for few month.

My question is,

1-If i create new backup, will it overwrite the old one, or it will merge?

2-if it will overwrite, then how to merge my current whatsap data with previous backup?

Thanks!!

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] heyitssalt:
So, I just bought a Mi 9T Pro a week ago. I've been saving and looking forward to this phone since it got released. The box cover, IMEI serial number for product verification on Xiaomi website and the setting 'about phone' itself confirms it is a legitimate Mi 9T Pro. However, because I linked my e-mail to Google by Find My Phone, it says otherwise, a K20 Pro instead. I was devastated and confronted the mobile store, they argued it can not be, if it were to be K20 Pro there would be no playstore, plus it even runs on Android 10.

Funny thing is, the latest update on my phone is and stays with MIUI 11.0. 3.0 similar to K20 alone. While the Mi 9T Pro latest update is V11.0.5. Does my current phone have to do with 'Asian region' compared to the actual Mi 9T Pro Global model?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] hoopsnake:
There's so much wrong with this.

It is most likely a mi 9t pro, it's just Google doing Google things.

K20 pro has play services and play store is available to install on Xiaomi app store, it's just not installed by default. If your phone was a k20 pro it would be fairly obvious... Chinese language on by default...

What do you mean 'it even runs on Android 10?'

No. you have global version not eea version. Latest global is 11.0.3 and eea and China is at 11.0.5.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] GuestK00373:
And what it on the back of the phone? Mi or Redmi? Btw I checked and Google Find my phone for me says it's "Mi 9T Pro"
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] fr3tter:
This is weird. Like hoopsnake said, could just be google doing google things.

Global just got updated to 11.0.5, so you can wait a bit for it to reach your phone. Where did you buy if from anyway?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] IoIam:
Mi 9t Pro and k20 pro are the same except for software. You can check if you have a mi 9t pro by looking at Netflix resolution, if it's 1080 then it's mi9

Sir, I have a k20 pro, k20 pro also has L1widevine support, it's just the case with indian variant which I have, maybe google is taking it as the india k20 pro, or you got an indian variant, it may not be the most popular opinion but indian variant is in fact the best one, you can check which rom you have, i can tell you all the details of my phone if you need to cross check anything

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndDiSa:
Thank you very much for sharing your scripts and ideas. I did not even know that there is a chance to script TWRP ;). My motivation to start my Android Backup and Restore Tools project were very similar to yours ... beside as I am on a Pixel 3a with A/B-system and not having TWRP available (yet(?)) I was looking for a way to do the backup and restore process without TWRP at all.

In addition I prefer transferring the data directly to a remote device. The storage on the devices is always limited and having a backup on the device itself (even if it is only for a limited time period) may cause trouble or at least limits the possible size of the backup which can be done.

Ideal for me would be a method to extract the important components of a ROM (/system, /vendor, /data, ...) off of the device and package them later in a way that they can be flashed back to the device later on e.g. using fastboot. As the new devices go into the direction of userspace fastboot (fastbootd) I am wondering if there would we the chance to "enhance" the fastbootd mode in a way that it can be used as a kind of recovery mode, too.

I am going off topic and just sharing my dreams only ... nevertheless thank you again for sharing!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillGoss:
Thanks for your post. I find it interesting how different requirements produce very different solutions.

One of my main drivers is to do everything on the device itself and avoid using a PC if at all possible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tirofog:
Interesting project, thanks.. TWRP on my a/b device (OP7) doesn't show options to backup system or vendor partitions, just the images. Do you happen to know if ORS supports image backup?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillGoss:
Unfortunately ORS doesn't do images. See the documentation at https://twrp.me/faq/openrecoveryscript.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bege10:
@BillGoss Hello, your script shows that it must be possible what I am looking for although that is quite different from what your script provides.

I have two rooted phones with LineageOS based ROMs that don't fully shutdown. If I shut them down from the system they drain the battery more than while in use. Therefore I must first reboot them to recovery and from there shut them down.

I am looking for a script that does exactly that: after being started in system mode reboot to recovery and then poweroff.

I have little knowledge in scripting and thus don't understand your script to reduce it to the requested commands.

Could you, please, help me with such a script?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillGoss:
Have you tried just running /system/bin/reboot -p in a Terminal session? That should shutdown your phone.

To do it through TWRP:

Create a file called openrecoveryscript containing the following command cmd reboot -p

Copy the file to /cache/recovery and reboot into recovery.

You can look at the finalize function in my script for how to create your own script to do this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bege10:
Thank you for your help.

I tried everything to solve the incomplete poweroff issue, but on one phone it is a known issue in the LineageOS ROM, on the other phone it is an unsolved issue related to Magisk.

Poweroff in TWRP with a openrecoveryscript works without cmd in your answer.

When the phone reboots to TWRP I must decrypt the data partition before the script runs. This is not necessary to just poweroff the phone and an OTA update starts running right away.

What does an OTA update do differently when it reboots to TWRP? What must I do to skip the password screen in TWRP when an openrecoveryscript is in /cache/recovery ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillGoss:
An ota doesn't use a recovery script. It uses a different way of invoking TWRP. I never liked into it.

You'll need to see if a Los developer can explain to you exactly how an ota works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bege10:
Meanwhile I noticed that this behavior is only on my A/B device where the OTA update is not installed by a TWRP script but before rebooting already. The other, older device is no A/B device and there TWRP starts with the openrecoveryscript right away. But that device is not encrypted. So I am not sure whether it is the standard behavior or due to the fact that is not encrypted.

Do you use your script on an A/B device? Is your phone encrypted? How does TWRP behave?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillGoss:
Yes, I use my script on my A/B phone. I always run my phone's encrypted. And the behaviour of TWRP is the same as on A-only.

But note that I never used the Los ota updates. I've always downloaded the updates manually then used my script to backup and install.

I don't use TWRP for ota updates on my A/B phone because they are designed to run on a running system.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bege10:
Do you need to enter your password/pattern before your script runs in TWRP? Even if you e.g. only run a system backup that does not need decrypted data?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndDiSa:
Well I suppose decryption is needed as soon as TWRP wants to mount an encrypted file system. So if e.g. the /etc/fstab of the initial ramdisk (which is used by the kernel when booting TWRP) contains a mount point with a an encypted filesystem TWRP will automatically ask for the key ...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillGoss:
Yes, I do: the backup is written to internal storage which is encrypted. Also, /cache is actually /data/cache on my A/B phone so the storage needs to be decrypted for TWRP to read the ORS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bege10:
OK, thank you, then I understand how it works and that I cannot bypass decryption for my workaround for the shutdown issues. I hoped to make it less laborious.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bege10:
@BillGoss Hello, I once more need your help.

Inspired by your script I tried a simple openrecoveryscript to backup with TWRP.

When I put this line from your script (reduced)

backup BD `date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`

into openrecoveryscript I get the error

(translated from German)

A similar problem occurs when I try to set variables: When the script is running it uses any text after the variable name literally as a string. Backticks, quotes, using "cmd" don't change anything.

And using a variable as backup name throws

In the TWRP terminal setting and using variables works as expected.

Does this still work for you? Do you have an idea why using the date command and variables in an ORS doesn't work here?

I use TWRP 3.6.0_9.0 on Fairphone 3, /e/OS (based on LineageOS for microG, Android 10)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillGoss:
As you've discovered an ORS is not a Bash script and, therefore, you cannot do things like set variables or use inline commands with `...`. It is processed, I believe, by the "twrp" program inside TWRP.

You could, in the TWRP terminal, run

twrp backup BD `date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`

If you want to run a shell command in ORS you base to write cmd <shell command> where <shell command> is the actual command.

But what you should be doing is running a shell script on your phone that produces an ORS file which doesn't need to access the shell environment. That's what my bf script is.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bege10:
Thank you for your quick answer.

Oh no! 😆 I didn't realize that your bf script does not write the commands in backticks and the variables into the ORS but their values.

Thank you very much.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bege10:
In case other ORS noobs like me come around and only want a simple script for regular backup and shutdown I post my solution here.

The bash script ORS_backup_shutdown.sh that creates the openrecoveryscript (this script is part of a Tasker task that afterwards copies and renames the file to /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript and reboots to recovery):

scr=/sdcard/Documents/Z/ORS/ORS_backup_shutdown
echo > $scr # initialise ors
slot=`getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix` #active slot for A/B device
dat=`date +%F`
tim=`date +%H-%M-%S`
nam=$dat"--"$tim"_e_FP3-db"$slot # adapted from the default backup name of TWRP
echo set tw_storage_path external_sd >>$scr # internal SD = sdcard
echo backup bdmo $nam >>$scr # m = skip digest, o = compress
echo reboot poweroff >>$scr

And the openrecoveryscript outcome:

set tw_storage_path external_sd
backup bdmo 2022-05-09--09-18-02_e_FP3-db_b
reboot poweroff

Try this if you have a related problem.

-Go into developer settings

-Scroll almost to the button

-Disable MIUI optimization

-Reboot

-Enable MIUI optimization

-Reboot

Also, the permission of most of my apps got lost, like access to the microphone, storage, phone... so I had to re-enable them manually because they were "blocked".

I didn't get much feedback so I suppose it isn't a very popular issue. However, I've a solution to share for the annoying problem.

After doing a full wipe of the phone the issue was still present and I was still facing connection problems.

So I enabled the developers options menu and started to play with Bluetooth hidden settings.

At first I downgraded the AVRCP version from the default 1.4 version to 1.3 but it was not working, so I tried 1.5 (same issue) and 1.6. This version was slightly better... The car was authenticating and showing the Bluetooth audio codec in a small icon beneath the device name (Ford Audio -> SBC) but the connection was not stable and dropping. So I changed the default audio codec and I set SBC.

Everything started to work well and I was able to make several hands free call without issues anymore.

I hope it helps whoever could have similar issues.
