[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chmosama:
Hey guys,

I just bought a Note8 and looks like I am having difficulty rooting it because of IMEI. The phone is already on Android 9 but the problem is with the IMEI. I think my mobile IMEI is already modified because in the About section it's showing different IMEI and in "Device Info" app it's showing different IMEI and also "Device Info" showing Root Access Available which in the fact I don't have because the recovery is still on stock. I cannot access any banking app because they are showing the device already rooted.

I want your guidance on how to root this device so I can use the Magisk module to hide the root without end up in the IMEI issue or something.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
Go to developer options (click on the build number about 7 times in about phone/software information, it will then appear in the settings menu) Is the OEM toggle on? If it is, turn it off, reboot, and your banking app should work. (Clear the bank app data in setting before reboot)

I am not sure about your IMEI problem, hopefully someone will know though, I would advise not rooting though as it may break your IMEI entirely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chmosama:
There's no option as OEM. what should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
I was hoping that the OEM toggle was enabled, so at least you could use your banking app. Your bank app must just be more secure than mine (Co Op)

You can't root the phone until the OEM toggle appears anyway, the phone has to be on for 168 hours for it to appear, If I remember correctly. The thread below may work for you to get the OEM toggle now, rather than having to wait all those hours. It is hit and miss though, and may take a few attempts.

https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-...-samsung-galaxy-s8-samsung-galaxy-note-8/amp/

I don't know anything about your IMEI troubles, I would advise not rooting until you get confirmation that it will be okay from an experienced user here. If you don't get a reply, just bump the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chmosama:
Well, it's been 2 months since I have been using this phone, I don't know why the OEM still not showing but I'll try that link.

thanks

You should have 2 imei numbers since it is a dual sim version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chmosama:
I have 2 IMEI but the issue is in download it's all Chinese and showing N950N model number but in the settings about section, it showing N950F/DS. two different model numbers and my baseband version is showing N950NKOUASI1. can you help me with that I am so confused right now.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
I have a funny feeling you've been conned and you have a china cloned phone.

Can you take a photo of the download mode and also some photo in the phone settings menu. Any menu will do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chmosama:
I am sure that this is not a clone. well here's some pictures for you.

Edit: also the IMEI are different in settings and "Device Info" app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
Oh.. You got me worried when you say Chinese characters. Those are Korean so you are good..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chmosama:
So did you find anything useful which can help me with my problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
Yes. You have a Korean note 8 but forcefully flashed with international rom.

You can try to flash in a prerooted rom.

Try searching for Dr Ketan note 8 custom rom. He's rom is the closest to stock rom as you'll ever find, and has magisk up and ready to run.

But please ask him about your situation. I'm not sure how it would affect a Korean note 8.

By the way, i can't find any video of Amazfit GTS display replacement, even anyone telling something about this in any forum.

I asked the store in the chat and they said that it is an original amazfit gts display.

However, the discription do not match with the specifications of and amoled display.

Hello Guys! please help me:crying::crying:.

Is anyone here have the stock boot.img of Zenfone 5 t00j? I really need your help with this. I've tried to backup my system data many times. But the boot.img or boot.emmc.win file is not there. Your help is much more appreciated. Thankyou in advance:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Is your device rooted?

What backup method are you using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheExploitedOne:
He's obviously using TWRP and obviously is indeed rooted. I'm sorry to come off as rude (I don't mean to), but asking that isn't going to help. That's more less going to irritate other users anyways.

Sorry good sir I do believe you'll need to look through Google or though XDA to find what you are looking for. Having this thread may not catch the attention for others to see
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
First, having TWRP installed does not equal being rooted, there are plenty of devices that have TWRP installed but are not rooted. Including devices that have TWRP and LineageOS custom ROMs installed but no root. You can install TWRP, create and restore backups and flash custom ROMs, all without root ever being involved in any part of it.

Second, nothing absolutely says they are obviously using TWRP. TWRP is not the only way of creating a .win backup file.

So, that equals, my questions were valid. They were asked for absolute specificity, instead of assuming.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheExploitedOne:
Damn dude you really must be that ****in' stupid. TWRP is the only backup method I've ever seen to create a .win file in my years of Android hacking. Seems like you got butthurt though ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
It's amazing how untrue all of that is, lol. Were you just looking for someone to troll or something?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -LYNN-:
yes its rooted
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Do you specifically need the stock boot.img from the device itself? If so, try adb and use dd commands to dd a copy of the img.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -LYNN-:
I tried to backup my system data many times using TWRP but still the only backup file appear is the system.ext4.win and data.ext4.win. No backup for boot.img. thats the problem is. That why im looking for the stock boot.img of zenfone t00j.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -LYNN-:
yes,I only need the stock boot.img. Coz I have my system files backup on my computer. is that possible sir? can you please teach me the adb command for that method?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
You can download your stock firmware and extract the boot.img from the firmware.

Or, you can install a terminal emulator app or use the terminal emulator that is built into TWRP then find some threads that explain how to use dd commands on android to dd ..img files to/from your internal/external sdcard

You can also use adb/adb shell commands to dd ..img files to/from your device.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] DroidJay123:
I have an OP 6 running OOS 10.3.2 and regardless of what keyboard I try (G-board, Swiftkey) the emojis do not show at all. I have only unlocked bootloader, flashed Monofrios TWRP and flashed Magisk. Does it have to deal with the multiple partitions that are on this device? Would reflashing the entire 10.3.2 rom fix this issue?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Dodge93:
Reflashing OOS should help. Your vendor-partition is missing completely.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] DroidJay123:
How does that happen with the vendor partition? Am I able to have TWRP, be rooted and still keep that partition? That must also be why the OnePlus wallpapers don't show either? I doubt I every messed with that partition?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Radzha:
Hi,

Is there a way to see if tele lens is working or not?

I have a feeling that it is broken and all photos are made using main camera.

Moreover when I shake phone I can clearly hear something clacking inside the phone. I knot it has moving parts but I doubt there should be any sound of it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] r4yv3n:
On good light place, put your finger in down camera, change zoom to 5x to 10x.

Your finger should appear into the screen
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] xhoi287:
Yes zoom more than 5x and 10 x and cover the tele lens with your finger .And the clacking noise it's not a problem every phone which have a periscope lens does that because of the mirror moving inside.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Radzha:
Thanks guys.

It seems indeed my tele lens is dead... it doesn't do anything. I will have to sent it to warranty repair (if applicable) after lockdown is over.

I got a Samsung j7 phone I want to backup. Not interested on passing the information to a new phone but I want to have every call log and text currently in it. I want to pass it to my Windows 10 PC and be able to view and read the info on the PC. Looking for an open source or free software to be able to make this without any spyware or malicious ware on it. Thanks in Advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
I could be wrong, but, I don't think any such thing exists and I don't think it can even be done the way you want it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Preguntonontrack:
Before posting, i did a google search, There are several options. Just looking for the good free alternatives. For example Droid Transfer but is not free.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Yes, absolutely, there are options for backing up data, I wasn't saying that backing up or restoring that data couldn't be done.

The part about using something that will let you backup to PC and be able to read the internal content while on PC is what I was replying to.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Preguntonontrack:
I see, but that software lets you view the content on the PC. Looking something similar but free.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyhuppa:
Search for wondershare mobilego version 7+ or 8+ install with the crack tool. Though the software have been discontinued but is very useful. It will do your work for you. The crack tool attach to is not harmful only when you get it from right source.

Thanks for the info, even if it is discontinued. It is ilegal right? Still looking for options :(

Android stores text messages and call logs in SQLite databases.

You can pull them by means of ADB to your PC and there view them by means of a SQLite reader. For example call logs are located here:

This is a continual bug that appears across certain roms, currently in the latest Dutty V2 Rom.AS works fine over GPRS, and via USB cable to the internet, BUT IMPOSSIBLE over wifi?

Does anybody else have this issue? I have tried very solution etc, I use mail2web exchange, and only stock roms will sync via wifi with it?

Microsoft has desactivated the wifi connection (for security reason) on after the

so plug the cable

The Bluetooth connexion has been disabled (to a computer), not the wifi one. I have an Exchange 2003 server, I'm able to connect and synchronize with ActiveSync my diamond to this serveur using Wifi (on the same network, never tried using internet, perhaps with Exchange 2007 in a few weeks).

Or perhaps is it synchronization threw internet that is forbidden ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lumin:
I dont think thats what we're talking about here...

Phone syncs with exchange via net perfectly when its not connected to pc, however when connected to pc phone can not access net
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] drvdijk:
Assuming internet does work, firewall anywhere?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Powersup:
I had the same problem when I tried to connect to my exchange server the first time. Then I connected via 3G and the normal "set security..." came up, even though I set an unlock code before. Whatever after this first connection with 3G the connection with ActiveSync and USB did work fine.
[General Questions and Answers] IAmTheYikes:
Hi! I'm not sure I'm in the right place to ask this but I'll give it a go anyway.

Iv'e got an AnyCast M2 Plus dongle with a rockchip rk3066 chipset. It hasn't worked from the day I opened the box.

I have an image of the screen but the rules here won't let me link to it;

Basically it says the following:

for the ip it says "192.168.49.1"

below that it says "SP-AAF340"

and below that it says "Waiting for connection"

Iv'e searched literally 1000's of sites but I can't find any way to reset it nor can I find a working firmware.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?

It's not critical that I get it working but I can't just not try to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

I can reboot my phone but it get stuck on the boot (LineageOS 17.1) animation.

Not too sure what to provide as additional

relevant

information:

TWRP does not request my pin;

Under the Mount screen, storage is reported as "Storage: Micro SD card (0 MB)"

yet I can mount my phone and see the internal storage and sub-folders on my laptop...

My phone is an LG V30+...

Can any body please help?

[SOLVED] TWRP: "Unable to mount storage, decryption needed first"

Maybe this will come helpful to others: I was able to get out of this situation by formatting the phone;

as I was able to access the internal storage from my laptop, I could back up all the data I did not want to lose

then launched the format operation - at the end I still had the message but after rebooting to twrp as advised

everything was fine.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Jerahya:
Pardon for a long story but someone gave this Samsung J7 Prime(SM-G610F) to me with an issue "An Error Has Occurred While Updating The Device Software". So I gave Samsung Smart Switch a try sadly they removed the Initialize option and old version don't seam to do what it suppose to do so I wen to a traditional Odin flashing. I then look for a stock rom for the phone that I think is the right one. Started with android 6 MM region pakistan and flashing went well. I was able to use it for a good hour or two until I notice it restarted by it self, then it keeps doing it 10-20 seconds after booting up. I though its the firmware I'm using so I went and look for Oreo version this time I region india (I don't know if region matters). So I flashed it again and tested the device again. I'm still able to use it for a good while till it restarted again. I then keep testing it to see what may be causing the problem. I notice that when the WIFI is on it just crash the phone to reboot so as soon as the phone reboots I turned the wifi off and it didn't crash anymore. I then factory reset the phone cleared everything, wipe cache then installed benchmark tools first. Thing I notice is it crashes when Google Play store is trying to install or download something. I tested it a couple of times to see when it crash and it does crash when downloading or installing something. I was still able to install 3Dmark and run it with wifi off. It completed the test without crashing so it couldn't the processor issue. I then look for another rom and tried flashing it. This time I had issue with it failing at system.img even if I use recent rom that worked. I then keep trying till flashing TWRP worked and flashing the rest of the rom is fine again.

What bothers me is why doesn't it crash during the first couple of hours. I've search similar issues and they say it may have been and app issue. I've already disabled bunch of app but nothing changed. Run the phone in safe mode but this time instead of crashing and rebooting right away it freezes for a few seconds. I suspect if google play or something being an issue since I've tried disabling it and it didn't crash for a couple of hours. Looked for allot of related thread but none of them seam to solve my problem.

I suspect either its the rom that I'm using and it can only be fixed by using the original rom, or its having a memory issue but don't know how to pin point it. Anyone can suggest on how I can debug this? I'm used to debugging things in real time and my knowledge with android is a quite slim but as a programming understanding the errors won't be a problem. I hope.

Edit: Hmm. Does copying kernel log with TWRP work or the kernel logs get overwritten every time the phone reboots? Because I see the kernet logs but don't see anything failing except for something saying SHUTDOWN but I don't think thats it. :S
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Jerahya:
Still no reply. :S I think its /system dismounting it self while doing a write operation. but it doesn't trigger until a certain amount of time after the phone is flashed or factory reset. I have to go to recovery and mount system back but that only happens on marshmallow. over version it remounts it self after the random reboot. After factory reset I'm able to install COD mobile and play a couple of match. after a long while it just decides to reboot.

I also tried z3x and after reading PIT from phone OK. the phone just reboots and flashing completes without it doing any flashing.

My tilt is only a couple months old, I had to send my old one back b/c my dog spilled Gatorade on it. The new one I have to restart almost daily b/c it gets so slow and just locks up. Sometimes the vibrate won't stop until I either shut it off or delete the notification. But it's fine after a restart. I haven't done anything to it but the home customizer.

Any tips?

I searched.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] psionandy:
Backup your data, and try a hard reset.

If you haven't done any rom work on it that will be in factory condition. If it still locks up you can blame a hardware problem and invoke whatever warranty you have

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] future3:
Most apps won't send notifications without GMS - this includes things like Blink and Nest. The only workaround without hacking is to see if the app supports email notifications, like in the case of Nest and then use a client like Aqua Mail that supports Push via Gmail if you use it.

I am using Magisk 20.4 and trying to mount /system on a Google Pixel running Android 10.

I have tried using:

adb shell su -c mount -o rw,remount /system

that gives: me

The following also do not work:

adb shell su -c mount -o rw,remount /

adb shell su -c mount -o rw,remount /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system_root

I was also curious whether stuff in /sbin/.magisk/rootdir/system/ can actually override stuff in /system/ but that doesn't seem to be the case..

Has anyone managed to mount /system on Android 10? Is this issue specific to Google Pixel?

Cheers,

Its due to EXT4 dedup filesystem (it's not writable).

So it's impossible? Even with TWRP?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Paschalis:
Turns out I don't need to mount /system.

I wanted this so I could ship my modified version of libart.so, libart-compiler.so and dex2oat (which are in APEX), as well some other external compiler libraries and tools.

So I've written some magisk modules, and it works really well. Even for the runtime apex. I'm impressed! :)

The only reason someone might need to mount /system is if he/she uses an app/tool that needs it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Deleted member 10802473:
The only way to make changes to the /system partition is to make a Magisk module that mounts the files you modified instead of the original ones.
