[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] GalaxyS8_2020:
Will it be worth to root my phone with KingoRoot through my Laptop and use different kinds of "Android Data Recoveries" and try my luck to find those lost voice recordings and then un-root it, will everything be the same as it was before? Or is there any other better way to get those voice recordings? I only need those voice recordings , nothing else. Trust me, those voice recordings are way too important for me than how it is being described here. I would greatly appreciate if I can recover them. I know it was a huge mistake for not making backup of them since back then but trust me at that time I would never ever believe it could come to this point, as i'm always having access to that phone and nobody could even use it and never had such kind of problems that It would make the whole thing to come at this point and easly lose them..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
You need to look up on data recovery and such. Files that are deleted are marked for deletion and actually delete upon new files overwriting them. This is to save read write cycles. The data can be recovered if it has not been over wrote.

For you mate. King root and kingo are junk spyware. And wont work for s8s I'm pretty sure. But rooting will erase your device again and probably over wrote the files with new setup. Only way is to shut the device off now. Take it to a professional. every minute you have the device on new cache files and such are overwriting old marked for deletion data. So without root to start with your pissing in the wind. And they are probably gone. With that said you should always make backups yadayada.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Benjamin2557:
These software wont work for rooting. The S8 need a custom recovery, then you'll need to flash 3 .zip files : if you want to root, look on the internet.

As you said, these recordings were on internal storage (the one accessible without root) that has been wiped by your repair shop, I can only advise you to ask if recordings are recoverable...but for me it's not.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] GalaxyS8_2020:
I mean this is the app that I recorded them with ,which is Samsung's integrated Voice Recorder [IMG="Galaxy S8 - Voice Recorder"]https://tunecomp.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Samsung-Experience-Home-Voice-Recorder.jpg[/IMG] . it probably should store the voice recordings on the internal storage if i'm not wrong? The phone was actually messed up on my Samsung Local Warranty Service that I had it to repair, which I think they could have just factory reset or format the data completely on how the usually do, not really sure if they have a tough formatting process that the lost datas could not get recovered "healthy" , but it doesn't really matter for me to be honest even if it is at least hearable it will just do the work. My phone is only used on 30% usage and i think there's still chances to recover the lost voice recordings if i'm right? I have called them multiple times but they just said that they had to format it due to their rules on privacy as they aren't allowed to have a look on those personal datas, I've asked them as well if I could root the phone and probably could somewhat recover the lost datas with those kind of Android Recovering programs but they said it will still not work. So I really need to recover those lost recording as they are really important for me and as I said they are really life mattering which I surely must recover them...
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] UberSlackr:
Is there any way to remove the pre-install T-mobile app from the OnePlus 8? This app has some insane permission requirements, and they removed the options to disallow the permissions (like access to SMS, LOCATION!, Call Logs, Phone..) and you can't even disable the app.

The device is supposedly unlocked (I requested a SIM unlock from T-mobile, due to "military" travels) but not sure if it actually went through..

Also, preferably don't want to root the device, and not sure if I can root it if its still locked..

Its been a while since I had an Android device. Ive been an iPhone user for the last 5-6 years (upgrading every year).. so I'm out of the loop about changes to unlock/lock, rooting, etc when it comes to Android.

Having these types of apps forced on me, was my main reason for switching away from Android, as apple doesn't allow carriers to pre-install these kind of apps on iPhone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FosterGecko:
Hello,

I recently purchased this TCL A1 (A501DL) from Walmart, with the intent of rooting it. It runs android oreo, 8.1.0. I have a few questions about it.

Question 1) Is rooting such a device even possible? I know a lot of phones have root capability, however this is a very simplistic pay-as-you-go phone, it was only made for one purpose

Question 2) Is there an accessible bootloader? I can only seem to be able to boot into recovery mode. I've tried power button + volume up, power button + volume down, and power button + both volume keys, and each time only recovery has come up. I have checked unlock bootloader in the developer options.

I appreciate any help in this endeavor. Thanks!

see mtkclient for bootloader unlocking and rooting
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Indeed. I was completely incorrect on my statement. I will remove the misinformation. It appears that these TracFone branded Mediatek devices can at last be rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 971shep:
There may be another way to unlock Tracfone/USCellular devices. I'll layout the references and quote the relevant parts.

From the GrapheneOS Command Line install

I have dumped my USCellular TCL A30 and have oempersist.bin and persist.bin files

It looks like the search string is CARRIER_ID

So the process would be to use mtkclient to extract the file, backup, and then search the oempersist/persist files for CARRIER_ID and replace the value with 0 (zero). Then write the edited partition over the original. If it borks, then restore with the backup files.

If it works then OEM unlocking and fastboot should be available.

Anyone see any issues with this approach?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1pp3d2:
is there any way i could get that dump you made? been searching for a full dump for months.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 971shep:
The super.bin alone was 5.4 GB which is too big for my ISP email provider. I used mtkclient which is some work to install but easy to use once in place. An easy way around this is to download the live cd from their website and use it. Get your dump in the live cd and then copy the file to a big usb driver or sftp them to another computer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honkette1738:
Do you plan on testing this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 971shep:
I used ghex on both persist.bin and oempersist.bin. They are both essentially empty:

rows and rows of

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00.

I was suspucious that mtkclient may not have accurately pulled the files but other files dumped by mtkclient are not empty. In any event, I hit a dead end - there was no carrier id to edit. Not to mention that the MAGISK/mtkclient instructions for rooting the device put it into a bootloop. I was able to recover with the recovery option.

What I would really like to to get a broad overview about the Android booting process and the security works.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] ELCouz:
Hi,

After seeing many users struggle with this chip... GL852 is better but some still has some issues randomly with it.

I was wondering why not take the only USB directly from the PX3/5/6 board to external USB connector and then manage all USB device externally with a good quality powered USB hub?

This should work in theory, but you will lose internal WIFI (can be easily corrected with a WIFI dongle)

What do you think guys?

Regards,

Laurent
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Not struggling here :). Also, wifi is via separate USB connection according to MTCD schematic and at least my unit is like this.

My understanding is that some units came with defective USB hub chips, replacing them solves an issue where they slow initialize when cold.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ELCouz:
Yes I just saw in the schematic and tested the two last pins 74/75 are in fact connected directly to the wifi board (RTL8188ETV).

Since I'm already board opened... I will remove the chip I'm already using a special hub in the car for Android Auto that can deliver 2.1 amp while using USB data.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ELCouz:
Just a quick follow-up... I double checked all the traces from the GL850 3 ports goes at the back of the unit one very important port (USB-DM4,USB-DP4) goes at the front LCD for touch input!

TL;DR : Don't try to bypass the GL850/852 chip or you will lose touch input!

You don't need TWRP to do it, unlock the bootloader then use fastboot to flash the system image.

That worked. Thank you very much.

[Oukitel (All phone models)] GroovyG:
Great, how's your experience with Lineage? As it's based on phh's GSI I assume it's also free of bugs?

I really love the AOSP on this phone, it's blazing fast and battery lasts forever. Last cycle 8 days, 34h SOT xD
[Oukitel (All phone models)] lucian.w153:
Yes, all the GSI roms seem to be based on phh's. So all have the same issues:

- In call volume not working, it is stuck at max which is very annoying

- You can't disable the second sim card, you need to take it out if you don't want it to consume battery.

That's all i found so far, unfortunately i bricked mine. I tried to relock the bootloader being on a custom rom so it's stuck now with a boot loop.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] GroovyG:
Oh, I hadn't noticed those two as I always have call volume on max anyway and only use one SIM. You can submit bug reports here

Can't you unlock it again from fastboot? During the bootloop you can access ADB and reboot bootloader. You can't really completely brick those devices.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] lucian.w153:
Yes, i can access it through fastboot, but when i input the unlock command it says permission denied or something like this.

So do you have to use adb to make it work?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Insyder28:
I just tried that, and it does sort of work, but there is no actual desktop mode installed, so it's very buggy and doesn't work well or look good. The only way to control the "desktop" screen is with peripherals, like a mouse and keyboard, as there is no touchpad-like interface on the phone. If you do have all that, and you have enabled "Enable freeform windows" and "Force activities to be resizable", all apps should work.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] adrienfr:
Yes, with ADB

adb shell

settings put global force_desktop_mode_on_external_displays 1

settings put global force_allow_on_external 1

Reboot the phone and it's ok

You can install Sentio to have a full desktop environment, but with sentio, you have to disable force_desktop_mode_on_external_display (force_desktop_mode_on_external_display 0) to get it work properly
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] adrienfr:

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Insyder28:
Yes, true, but you have to set it as your default launcher to work properly, and the 5G doesn't allow you to do that yet. I haven't gotten Lawnchair or Sentio to display properly on the second screen.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] adrienfr:
You don't need to set Sentio as default launcher, for me it's really working great, i can work like i used to work with a PC

Sentio launches when you connect a new screen and set the display in landscape mode and with second screen the display is resized
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Lukazzweigandt:
Hello

I currently have a Galaxy S9 + version G965F / DS which has problems with one of my carriers.

I am in Argentina, and with Claro and Personal I have a signal correctly, but with Movistar, I can rarely make it work.

Personal uses bands B2, B4, B5, B7 and B28.

Claro uses bands B2, B4 and B5

Movistar uses bands B2, B4, B5 and B28.

Can somehow corroborate which bands the device supports, and in case you need to enable an additional one, load it manually?

The code of the device is: SM-G965FZKDXSG

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] sentinelvdx:
You shouldn't have any issue at all with any of the three operators.... I'm using in Argentina the same SM-G965F/DS...

I've use it before with Claro, no issues at all, and I'm currently using it with Movistar, with LTE, VoLTE and VoWifi enabled (Also Movistar in some places uses Band 7 instead of 4 for LTE)

So no matter with mobile operator you use, it'll work with all of them in both modems.

To check which bands the phone supports you can always use GSMArena.com https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s9+-8967.php#g965f-ds

I have an S7 Edge Duos, an S8+ Duos, and the S9+ Duos from emirates too (I bought all of them there), so even the firmware allows all capabilites to be used here.

Also, You can't load or unlock manually required bands... that's part of the modem, you should check before buying if the phone's modem support the bands required to be used in the country.
[Motorola One Vision Questions & Answers] RaphaNinja08:
I have a Motorola one vision and I want to multiboot it. I already have twrp and magisk root, but when I try to install dualboot patcher or multirom etc... (I have tried all of them) it says that my phone isn't compatible with those multiboots.

Can someone help me porting a multiboot for my phone?
[Motorola One Vision Questions & Answers] tys0n:
I've never used any of those tools myself but my guess is that they're outdated and doesn't work on devices with A/B slots.

In theory you'd be able to dual boot by switching slots, but it's not exactly that simple in reality.

Both slots share the same data partition, so in order to switch slot you'd have to reset or even format data every time you switch.

Not very practical.

To make it work properly I think we would need a custom made twrp and a repartitioned data so that also data would be split up as A/B.

Kind of how oneplus 7 solved dual boot.

[Motorola One Vision Questions & Answers] Nevil Sebastian:
The developer of Dualboot patcher had dropped the project due to change in android rom structure done by google i.e system as root structure, starting from pie i guess, which totally doesn't work with Dualboot patcher's mbtool.

So adding support for new devices running right from pie won't work. And yes, the one plus method will work ,but there is need of lots of coding, proper repartitioning and above that many testers are needed.

[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
I was asked by [MENTION=2534110]rigattoni[/MENTION] if I could write an app that allows to trigger Tasker after head unit wakes up from sleep (aka fast boot).

Why? Android has no reliable way for apps to be triggered when the device resumes from suspend-to-RAM state (aka fast boot).

Therefore a lot of Tasker users are missing a way to achieve that any Tasker jobs are started in fast boot.

My small little app tries to solve this.

This topic was first mentioned here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82596933&postcount=6133

How it works:

When a USB mass storage device is attached, the app will be triggered by Android, both in cold boot, and also in "fast boot".

Then the app waits for 10 seconds and then fires a Tasker specific intent to Tasker and the app will finish itself.

This allows that any Tasker tasks will be triggered.

In the attachment you find both a ready APK and the source code of it.

Note: I will not maintain this app.

If the APK does not fit your needs, adapt the source code yourself.

If you want to send other intents additionally, adapt the source code yourself.

If you want to change the timeout of 10 seconds, adapt the source code yourself.

If you don't know how to do so, take an online Android App Development training.
