Hi all,

I am trying to find a soft-key software that will allow me to assign swipe actions to a floating key.

e.g.: I press that key and the system sends a swipe up from the center of the screen

or: I press another key and the system sends a swipe left from the center of the screen

Can you recommend any such tool?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Alecto28:
Hi,

layely I've been playing Call of Duty mobile.

I have two SIM cards, one for calls and another for internet.

I have good speeds overall, but when I'm playing COD, the ping gets very high (above 199ms, the maximum the game displays).

If I turn off one of the cards and play from the other (it can be any of the cards) the game plays fine with ping around 50-70ms. As sson as I turn the card on, the ping goes up.

I have tried to swap the cards, the same happens, right next to me is a friend also playing with dual SIM from the same carrier but with a Huawei Mate 30 and doesn't have any issues, so the problem is my S10+.

One thing I note os the network bars are always only one or two, where my prévios Xiaomi Mi5s HD full bars.

Anyone with the same problem?

Cheers
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] hyborian:
My external sd card is not ready after reboot, it only becomes ready after the screen is unlocked.

For example, i have a script to write something to External sd card after reboot, while the phone is still locked and screen off, but external card is not ready, even if i put a wait for 5 minutes. No problem when i unlock the phone, it is ready until the next reboot.

Is this normal behavior ? I am not sure if it is or maybe it is kernel-related. Using stock Miui and ngk kernel.
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Cylour:
I'm not the most knowledgeable about these sorts of things and I had tried to flash AOSP onto my phone (my mistake). It is now bricked in the most unique way and I've been stuck on multiple unbricking threads due to one or two issues.

A couple things to mention:

1.

For the explanation in this thread, https://xdaforums.com/realme-x2-pro/help/bricked-realme-x2-pro-twrp-fastboot-t4038999, I had followed natedogg20050's explanation up until the point of checking the system is folder is empty. I'm not sure on how to do that. Regardless I have typed "rm -r system" and "mv system_root system" into the terminal. There are no returning messages, and not sure if it is meant to return anything.

I then proceeded to attempt to flash stock fastboot images with the issue of system.img and vendor.img saying "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" without a "Finished" message at the end.

Rebooting results in the phone saying "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it." error, and flashing vbmeta results in "fastboot: unknown option -- disable-verity".

2.

I had attempted to format data through twrp, with an error message returning with "Failed to mount '/data' (Device or resource busy)" and "Unable to mount storage". Similarly, attempting to flash the ozip results in "Patching firmware images...

mount: Failed to mount/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/

userdate at /data: Device or resourse busy

script succeeded: result was [/data]

Updating partition details...

...done".

I have tried repairing the file system through twrp and it failed.

Trying to change file system to EXT2 results in "Unable to mount storage".

If anyone know the solution please help me. I'm at my wit's end here and exhausted nearly all the treads. Right now the best case scenario is that I missed a solution buried somewhere in there.

LOS17.1 Mi Mix 2 Chiron

TWRP 3.3.1

Firmware 11.0.6 (tried also 9.6.27)

Old ROM: Latest build LOS 16.0 from 25/03

Magisk 20.4 installed with module

Tried with multiple Xiaomi firmware but always ends up with bootloop whit LOS17.1

Being able to flash back LOS16 and system boots after. Not doing a clean install but an upgrade.

Any recommendation/advise appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] SpHEROs:
Hi, I had almost the same situation as you, currently I'm running;

LOS17.1 Mi Mix 2 Chiron

TWRP 3.3.1

Firmware 9.6.27

Old ROM: Latest build LOS 16.0 from 25/03

Magisk 20.4 installed (no additional module or anything that I know of).

For me it also gets into a bootloop, EXCEPT when I boot through TWRP. So turn off your phone, reboot it by holding volume up (it turns on automatically for me for some reason), unlock the partition then go straight to reboot > reboot system. It then goes relatively quickly to LineageOS for me and your there. Maybe it works for you too.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] seancheng:
So I should flash back to los16.0 first，then reset privacy guard permissions and apps permissions, try flash los17.1 again?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Krystlie:
I tried this and the only way to boot is through OrangeFox. I even tried to reset and reinstall all the apps after going back to LOS16 but it still only boots through recovery. Not sure if there's an issue with the builds, I'm on April 22nd build.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] seancheng:
After several times flash, I probably found the key. The following reasons will cause this bootloop:

1, Sync the setting from LOS16.0 though Google. The first boot after flash LOS17.1 and OpenGapps is normal, Once synchronized setting will bootloop, but contacts is ok.

2, Magisk. I tried all 20.X and 19.4 versions, I heard this is a known issue.

3, Restore permissions of applications backed up in LOS16.0. I don’t know if it ’s because Android 9 and 10 have different permissions.

LOS17.1 April 22nd

TWRP 3.3.1-1

Firmware v11.0.6.0 Global

Old ROM: Latest build LOS16.0

Magisk 20.4 installed (no additional module).

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] titigunner01:
Hello,

I just have a question, my Xperia 1 was unlocked and rooted (magisk) on Android 10.

Yesterday, I decided to lock the bootloader, everything was erased from the phone after that. The new Android installation was buggy so I tried to restore the phone using Xperia Companion.

After the restore using Xperia Companion, Now everything is working fine and I was really surprised, my DRM keys are back, I have "L1" using the DRM info app and I can watch Netflix HD content and Amazon Prime Video HD content.

How is that possible ? I thought that by unlocking the bootloader, the DRM keys are lost forever ?

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] jeoleo7:
You can receive OTA if you have just locked the bootloader.

But the things in Screenshot looks great. It was a previous way of checking the DRM keys and I don't know if only these things verify the DRM keys in latest versions too.

Is it a matter that the phone restores the DRM under locked bootloader again in Sony or did they remove the DRMs?

But what it matters is you are using apps and things like you have the DRM so may be thats good.:good:

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Pandemic:
Relock the bootloader, repair with xperia companion and drm keys are back.

Only on xperia 1, 5 and up !
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] j4nn:
Beware: even though it may look all keys are back, it is still questionable if some function/feature is not permanently missing.

I did some research and it seems xperia 1 bootloader ABL does erase device key, i.e. TA 66667 (0x1046b) unit, on unlock.

So in my opinion even though you can relock and everything looks normal, the device key gets never back.

The question is what (drm) functions are connected to it.

Here more details:

Just extracted abl from J9110_10_55.1.A.0.748_PLUSPL, posted it here:

xperia-1-J9110-55.1.A.0.748-LA2_0_Q_114-ABL-LinuxLoader.zip

Just observing the strings in it, I am not trusting SONY at all with the re-lock of xperia-1:

$ strings -a LA2_0_Q_114-ABL-LinuxLoader.pe | grep -i 'device key\|[ _]dk'
Size of device key is too large (%d > %d)
Device key is not set, setting to zero
get_dk returned err=%d
Unable to delete dk
get_hwconf_dk returned err=%d
Device Key MiscTA unit size is zero
Failed to allocate memory for Device Key
Device keys not of equal length!
hwconf_x_parser_get_hwc_dk returned err=%d
Device Key length in HWConfig is zero
Failed to get size of TA_DK_NUMBER_UNIT
Failed to delete DK

This looks very similar to stuff implemented in xz1c ABL related to unlock and TA unit 66667 (0x1046b) containing the device key erased with bootloader unlock!

You may also observe if the message "Device key is not set, setting to zero" is present in bootloader log that is stored in 0x802 TA unit (and few other following units containing older boots).

It would be interesting to test TA backup, unlock, relock, TA restore, so that device key would be back.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Hassan Farooq:

Hi,

As far as I remember, after locking the boot loader, the phone restored itself and erased all the datas. However, I could not launch any video from any app (Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Netflix, etc.)

So I restored the phone using the Xperia software on my computer and it fixed all the issues and I noticed that the DRM keys were back.

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] KOPRajs:
Hi,

is this procedure usable for downgrading the firmware and then getting the DRM back working? Or does the Xperia Companion always upgrade the phone back to the current firmware during the "repair"?

Is it the bootloader re-lock, what restores the DRM function, or is it the Xperia Companion "repair"?
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] pohuman:
Thank you so much. "fastboot oem unlocked" worked on my Sony Xperia 5 II. Then I used Xperia Companion for repair software. Failed on the first try. But the second try worked for me.

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] mxj_xda:
i am not sure about how to check DRM keys. but what I can confirm is that I managed to relock the bootloader on my unlocked Xperia 1, using the following commands. Need to patient with "oem lock" as it takes quite a while. Initially I thought there was no response from the phone. But after I waited long enough (see below almost 37 seconds), lock was successful.

Before "re-locked", Netflix won't play on unlocked boot loader. And of course, there is also this annoying message that warns that boot loader is unlocked during boot. After relock, both of these are fixed.

After unlock, I used Xperia Companion to update the software. See below screenshots.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] j4nn:
@mxj_xda interesting, just wondering, if you did back up your TA before the first unlock of your phone as suggested here?

I am wondering if the device key got lost with unlock and if so if it was restored with relock & repair?

Could there be any other drm functionality controlled by that key, like for example video enhancements have been with xz1* devices?
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] mxj_xda:
No. I didn't do any back up of anything.

How can I check if I still have DRM key (now that I have relocked the bootloader)?
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] j4nn:
@mxj_xda as posted here:

you can put the phone into flashmode and use patched newflasher in empty directory to read ta units containing bootloader boot log to check for device key related log entries - please see an old patch for newflasher attached - it does that in the step asking for ta backup (applicaple to f430841 revision).

Alternatively you may use the [xperia 1/5] temp root exploit via CVE-2020-0041 including magisk setup to backup TA partition and extract the units with bootloader log from it. Or even check the device key unit itself in the backup.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] mxj_xda:
is there any easier way to check the DRM key?
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] j4nn:
@mxj_xda the first option is quite easy if you use linux - newflasher is straightforward to compile with the patch.

The way with temproot is also easy, but if you have newer fw already, downgrade would reset your phone.

You might ask munjeni user here if he would build a windows version of newflasher with the above patch for you if you are not familiar with linux.

There may be other tool able to read the bootloader logs in flashmode, like some sony service tools, but I am not aware of any as I am not using windows.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] yrp888:
I'm very seriously considering buying an HD1905 on the US OnePlus site, they've got a decent discount as the 8 is about to launch, and I can grab genuine accessories at the same time. Shame the AUD is so crap right now, but that can't be helped.

I'm interested to know if there are OP7T Australian owners out there, what model variant, what carriers you're on, and if there are any issues with reception.

I'm on Telstra so I'm especially interested to hear from other Telstra users.

I've looked at the various bands in the specs, compared it to the OzTowers guide (that I luckily managed to grab before it shut down), and also looked at frequencycheck.com

My preference is to buy it from OnePlus US. While there are a bunch of "local websites" that purport to sell re-flashed HD1900 units as "Global HD1903", I would much rather get an untouched phone out of the box. The US HD1905 seems to have the broadest international carrier band support from what I can divine from reading.

One of the "local websites" says to email them any questions. So I did and the answers were basically "dunno, ask the carrier" which is pointless since OnePlus have no presence in Australia.

Despite having many Samsung Galaxies over the years I've decided not to consider them. Our Huawei P20 Pro has been good but tech support is hopeless, and no bootloader unlock service anymore, that alone rules them out for me.

So the OnePlus 7T is my preferred choice ... looking forward to hearing from any Aussie users out there.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] tpsnjs:
My friend wanted the 'best phone for the money' and bought this phone on my advice. They ship them from China, but it arrived the next day! They happened to have one in stock in Auckland.

My friend was thrilled but when a truck ran over it (after 3 weeks), not so.

So she's around the next morning and buys another one (~NZ$860). This time it took about a month to arrive as THE VIRUS slowed everything to a trickle.

We have a great website in NZ pricespy.co.nz and you'll have something like that in Oz.

Buying from the US is fraught. Postage costs an arm and a leg.

HTH
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] yrp888:
Thanks for the feedback, I've actually just bought a Galaxy S20 from JB as they had a decent discount for a newly released phone. The deciding factors against the OnePlus on this occasion was the total lack of Australian support, lack of IP68, the many negative service/warranty related user reviews on different sites selling them, and the idea that I'd be facing massive turnaround to ship it back to the US for warranty.

Shipping from the US isn't a problem for me as I regularly send consolidated packages through a 3rd party shipper.

Plus in these uncertain times we're making an effort to support the local outlets.
