[Android General] xlm13x:
I have broken Mi 49 inch LED TV (Android). The screen is completely broken, nothing is visible except white light bleeding from cracks. The TV is completely working and audio can be heard when turned on.

As this is a fully functional Android device with rich connectivity options (WiFi, Ethernet, USB) I was thinking of savaging it into some sort of media server or remote desktop or something like that.

I searched a lot over the internet but was unable to find anything on how to video out from this device or how to enable any screen sharing over network (like VNC / RDP) but was not able to do anything as the screen is completely gone and there is no way I can interact with the device.

Here is what I have,

- No WiFi is configured on TV, cannot setup or connect to any network as screen is not working.

- ADB is not enabled, as said before cannot enable as not able to interact with device.

- Able to connect the TV over the Ethernet but except pinging it cannot do anything else. Tried open ADB ports but as it is disabled cannot do anything.

Please help me with this if you know way like how can I get shell access or how to hack my way into ADB or any way to video out from device.

Here is the product page of the device - https://www.mi.com/in/mi-led-smart-tv-4a-pro-49/
[General Questions and Answers] dumdumspl:
so i compete in a car audio budget limited class in the UK

i am looking for a hens tooth i think

so my requirements are ideally 7-8" tablet with usb ideally c so i can use my usb c hub with a topping D10 dac and also use usb audio player pro to get bit perfect output from the tablet via the topping D10, along with insert usb sticks in the hub to play music from (i have a usb extension lead to a panel mount socket on the centre console so i can hide the hub

under 150 if possible, but if the usb c causes grief at this price point i can go to micro usb as long as the device supports charging and otg at the same time

so far i have tried a galaxy tab a 10.1 t510 which did work, but was a bit too big, i have also tried a lenovo tab 4 plus 10" and this also works with my u green hub and the topping D10, however both were too big and i wanted a more compact tablet

i also had to modifiy the wiring to the hub with a relay on the power side of it to prevent the hub draining the battery while the tab is in standby overnight

so i then have in my possesion a amazon 8 hd plus... how simple is it to make something that works? so if i plug my hub in i can get music from the topping into the car, if i plug the charger into the hub i cant get the tablet to charge (sort of although it was very slow if working at all) via the hub like the samsung and lenovo do.... if i unplug the hub and plug it back in it then charges and i cant see the topping... i did kind of find a solution, if i plug a micro usb charger into the hub with a wireless charger on the end and connect the topping the topping makes sound, and also then position the wireless charger at the rear of the tablet i can get sound and also charge... however it didnt seem to want to go past 42% so i suspect the amazon is going to be a fail and get returned, its ideal at 110 quid or whatever it cost

i understand most samsungs with micro usb will actually charge and otg at the same time, so a tab a 8" 2019 would be a solution i think... but now ive bought 3 tablets and an ipad (these do solve my issue but i need an ipad mini 2 16gb without a knackered lightening port... got one off ebay that wouldnt charge already... but they do give bit perfect output but cant use a usb stick for music input... hence the android tablet still appealing)

any suggestions for my requirements are welcomed!

basically 7-8" devices with usb c that will work with my hub, or micro usb that support otg and charging at the same time

for daily use i will also use my iphone XR 256gb into a second topping D10 as i can then get bit perfect tidal stuff, and store it on the device as signal can be hit or miss around my way :)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] ptit developer:
Hi,

I have a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Global with :

- Bootloader unlocked

- TWRP v3.3.1-0 (lastest)

- Magisk Manager v7.5.1 (lastest)

- Magisk v20.4 (lastest)

So I am rooted and want to keep it (with my data). ^^

Problem: I am still on MIUI v10.3.3.0 and can't install OTA because it makes me reboot on TWRP :(

I found some different posts like :

Link: https://www.the***********.com/install-ota-update-rooted-android-device-guide/

-> It doesn't work for me because I don't have the A/B partition (message from Magisk when I tried to flash it) and I don't have the "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" option...

Link: https://xdaforums.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-easiest-to-root-twrp-t4000209

-> I don't know if I have to do it, and when? (if needed, I have the boot.img of my current Global v10.3.3.0)

It seem I have to restore my stock recovery?

-> I see how to do it from TWRP, but I don't have the recovery.img file :(

How can I install OTA without lose my root and my data?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
You can keep TWRP and Magisk module, you will only need to patch the boot image and install it from TWRP to regain root after the OTA

- Download full Recovery/zip package 2.4 GB for your MI/IN/EU/RU you currently have with MIUI 10

- Flash that zip from TWRP (Install, zip)

- Reboot to TWRP, not to Android, otherwise you will loose TWRP

- Backup Boot in TWRP

- Reboot to Android. You shouldn't have lost your apps and settings. Magisk Manager will be there but no root

- From Magisk Manager take Install, keep Preserve AVB and Preserve Encryption (first two) but UNCHECK Recovery mode

- Choose to Patch image and navigate to the Boot backup you just made in TWRP, boot.emmc.win, 128 MB

- Reboot to TWRP, take Install, Image (not zip) and navigate to magisk_patched.img in Download

- Upon installing keep in TWRP and Wipe Dalwik and Cache, ONlY

-Reboot to Android - you will have root, your previous modules, rooted apps, all

PS: Doing OTA from System Update requires stock Recovery - that's why it reboots for you to TWRP and fails.

To be able to do OTA that way, you would need to first flash back your stock Recovery.

Then OTA update will fail and you wouldl have to force Full OTA.

At the end, you would also loose root - hence the above procedure is simpler, you even don't need PC, you will keep TWRP and you will only need to patch and install the patched boot image to regain root
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] ptit developer:
Hi and thank you [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION],

So if I correctly understand, to be able to make OTA without losing my data and restore root, I have to :

1. Install stock ROM

-> When I did it on previous phone, I always lose everything, so are you sure?

2. Restart in TWRP (to not lose it)

3. Backup boot via TWRP

4. Go in Magisk Manager, and check "keep Preserve AVB" and "Preserve Encryption", but uncheck "Recovery mode"

5. Click on "Install" and choose "Patch image", then selected the boot image previous made with TWRP

6. Reboot in TWRP to install (image, not zip) this file created in the 5.

7. Wipe Dalvik and Cache

8. Enjoy

I found the following link on mi.com to allow me to download the Global v10.3.3.0 (zip and tar.gz) :

Link: https://c.mi.com/thread-2459743-1-0.html

Is it the good one?

Can I simply extract the boot.img of the file downloaded in the 1. and go directly to the 4. ?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
In the first post you said that you already have v10.3.3.0 and that you want to update

Hence why would you now download v10.3.3.0 - you should download v11 (supposidely), that the same newer version that OTA offers you

Yes, you can extract boot.img from that newer MIUI (v11) that you will download and flash but that requires PC - in my instructions you simply use TWRP and make backup of the boot image upon you do update

By extracting boot.img from v11 you will not save any step, you still must flash its zip (not tgz) from TWRP and you must nevertheless reboot to TWRP first

---

By flashing OTA zip (full, 2.4 GB) from TWRP, you should not loose your data and apps. I did it with Mi 9T (not PRO - you are not on the PRO forum) but things must work the same way for PRO for Global or EU (you must update to the same Global, EU, Indian, Russian as you already have, just fownload the same newer version that OTA offers you)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] ptit developer:
Hi back,

Yes, I am in Global (EU) v10.3.3.0 and I should want to use OTA (first I have, it is to go on v10.3.4.0, and I guess, I will have more after until v11).

So I can use directly v11 one?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Better follow what OTA gives you. Find and download Recovery/zip for that Global v10.3.4.0 and install as suggested.

Later similarly follow the version numbers the same way as they come by OTA

Since there hasn't been any up-to-date TWRP for the Z2 Tablet recently, I finally compiled a new one, which can also handle Android 10 encryption.

I have only tested it on Android 10, but I assume it should work on Android 9 as well (please report if you try).

For older Android versions, I recommend using older TWRPs.

I flashed the Recovery, but I can't seem to boot into it. What is the button combination in order to boot into recovery mode?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] SpiritCroc:
Turn on the device, and when the sony screen comes up and the LED flashes magenta, press any volume button. Then, the LED should switch to yellow and TWRP should come up.

This procedure requires support for booting to recovery from your ROM (or more precisely, your kernel/bootimage), so it might be different based on what you use.

If you use a ROM which works with other recoveries but not this one, please report, then I'll put a note in the first post - I have only tested it with AICP 15.0 so far.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] KOAO:
I use the stock rom, since I had to downgrade to 4.4.2 in order to backup the TA Keys before unlocking the bootloader. Maybe that's why it doesn't work?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
If you are on SONY'S OS i.e. STOCK ROM with STOCK KERNEL, you should be using NUT'S Dual Recovery. Search NUT'S Dual Recovery on XDA, then you can select our tablet.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] emartino:
I am also coming from Carbon ROM and it is really not working... I now tried via Fastboot to install another older TWRP version. But the tablet is not reacting on 'adb reboot bootloader' (it shows the device for 'adb devices'). All it shows is a black screen and the blue LED light. Any idea how to flash the older TWRP version without bootloader? Normal Carbon ROM is working fine... Thanks!!!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] emartino:
I tried with the Sony-Emma Tool which of course removed Carbon ROM - but left the bootloader as it was. So ADB / Fastboot is still not working. How did all th others that were involved solve the corrupt bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
[MENTION=579032]emartino[/MENTION],

If you are seeing a BLACK SCREEN with BLUE LED you are in Download mode (FASTBOOT mode). Try "fastboot devices" without quotes, and you should see the device serial number, or the tablet ID number. If you do not see the device number, you will need to install the fastboot drivers. They are different than the adb drivers. This can be done through device manager for WINDOWS. Info available in the forums if you need assistance with fastboot driver install.

To install TWRP, place the TWRP.img you want to use in your ADT-BUNDLE/sdk/platform-tools folder, or whatever your path is. Then open an elevated cmd prompt, while the tablet is in DOWNLOAD MODE, and enter this command "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img" no quotes. The recoveryname is the name of the TWRP img file you have downloaded and put in your platform-tools folder. After the flash completes enter "fastboot reboot-recovery" must put the DASH between reboot and recovery. This will boot into TWRP.

I may have given a little more instruction than you needed, but wanted to be clear.

Hope this helps....

ALSO, i seen requests for the older TWRP. Here is a link to my SHARED GOOGLE DRIVE folder. The older TWRP will be in the folder labeled the same. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwBZlgiV0lNiV2x5SFYwMGlmNUU?usp=sharing

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] emartino:
Thanks for the great description! As ADB was working I neglected to verify in the Windows Device Manager if the Fastboot drivers were also ok. And they were not... With the help of Zadig I then solved this driver-issue. Now fastboot was working fine and I could flash recovery with success. Only the mentioned 'fastboot reboot-recovery' was not available in the 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' Version of fastboot, but this was then available once I installed the Android Studio + SDKs...

But still one thing is missing - I still cannot enter TWRP. Neither via the fastboot command, nor with Power-On + VolumeUp or VolumeDown... I always end up with the Android 6 standard Sony UI. Any additional idea what could have gone wrong? I even tried various TWRP versions (3.1, 3,2, 3.4), none could be started.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
@emartino,

So when you flash the TWRP recovery img, through fastboot, then reboot to recovery or power off and then on when the led turns PINK (i think that is the color) start tapping the volume up button and the led should turn orange and boot to TWRP. I may have the colors off. But when you attempt to boot to TWRP what exactly does it do? Does the system boot to AICP or stock android recovery or what? Sorry not understanding the Android 6 Sony UI. Also, do you know the firmware you are running? If your not sure, no big deal, just tell us if when you turn the device on, does it show the SONY name in the center with XPERIA across the bottom?

Wait!!!!! are you installing TWRP on SONY Stock OS???? The versions of TWRP here are for custom roms. If you are using AICP or similar custom rom, then the above questions will help us narrow down the issue.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Cubouid:

Don't get discouraged yet. You gotta think outside of the box. I had a Verizon variant Google Pixel and updated it before learning about depixel8.

Shortly there was a bounty out for the Google Pixel. Soon there was someone who found out how to break it greyed out unlocked bootloader on the Google Pixel.

What I'm trying to say is that it's not impossible to get it done if you have the right mindset, but I'd caution you from buying from Verizon. It's a respectable company, however they make their bootloaders hard to crack.

[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] dafunk60:
I didn't have any problems rooting. Downloaded the stock rom with the Lenovo Rescue & Smart Assist software on my PC. Copied the boot.img to the phone & patched it with Magisk 20.4 / Magisk Manager 7.5.1. Copied the patched boot image back to my PC & flashed it via fastboot.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] ShadowWeasel:
How did you do it? I did my 2nd attempt and still failed.

Also, comparing the boot.img is way different. The original boot.img is 60mb while the patched boot.img is about 10mb. Is that supposed to be right?
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] dafunk60:
All I did to root is listed in the steps above. My patched boot images are also much smaller, I think the original boot image is just padded as it's a perfect 64MB. My patched boot image is 11.8MB. All I can think of is that the boot image your patching & flashing may not be the exact version that phone is running. My phone shipped with SOFIAP_RETAIL_QPR30.80_58 & the update from last week was SOFIAP_RETAIL_QPRS30.80_58_3. Where are you getting your original boot.img file from?
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Questions & Answers] ShadowWeasel:
I found out I was using the wrong SOFIAP version. I was using the initial stock rom, and not the SOFIAP_RETAIL_QPR30.80_58.

I got everything working fine. My first mistake was flashing an OTA version, and the second mistake was flashing the initial stock SOFIAP_RETAIL_QPR30.80_33.

The latter was doing nothing but bootloops.

Now everything is fine now and working good.
