Hi All

My faithfull Trtn II works well at most hotspots, but I can't seem to connect to "The Cloud" hotspots in the UK. Has anyone manged to get thier Tytn to connect?

Ian
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] o2xdaexec:
to connect to the cloud you will need to be a o2 customer with the wifi bolt on or a btcusomer or on of the others shown on the home page.

turn on wifi then go to a web site say google this will then bring up the cloud page.if you are a o2 customer with wifi then all u need to do is tap in your number.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] imellor:
Yes, I'm a BT Customer, but I can't hold the WIFI connection long enough to connect. It simply drops out. I have tried increasing the Power Mode to best performance, but it still drops out.

I don't have any problems at BTOpenzone or T-Mobile sites.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Seehank:
I used to use my Mi9T Pro to record audio with my Rode Lavalier GO external microphone using a very good app called RecForge II Pro while I was on official MIUI. It worked perfectly with no problems at all.

Recently I switched to LineageOS 17.1 (Un-official build [04/06/20] - fw. 12) and I just found out that the external microphone volume is extremely low now. It does work, there are no cracks or problems in audio, but it's extremely low. I had to add +15dB to even hear anything, but that's not a solution to this problem.

Could you please help me with this? Point me to the right direction on how to fix this? :confused:

Thanx.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] evilskanker:
Hi there,

I have done the two tweaks recommended to stop the screen going off during calls but now have the following situation:

The screen still goes off during calls, but if I turn the screen back on once, it will stay on for the duration of the call, a feature I thought had been introduced in the new official HTC ROM. I am still on 1.37.405.1 or something like that, the one that came with my Orange Diamond originally.

However, turning the screen back on only brings it back to a low-light status, as if the screen was locked..?

All very confusing. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

I recently bought a redmi K30 from eBay. Everything worked fine except NFC so I checked on google as to how to make it work. Turned out my device is rooted and I had to lock the bootloader so I did but It has put the phone on bootloop. I have been trying to resolve this for the past 12 hours. if anyone knows how to resolve this, please help!! I don't want to open the phone back. I also spoke to Xiaomi UK as well and they said they won't be of any help.

I've tried everything I could to get into my phone with no luck and therefore, I've come to a conclusion that I'd need to get help from an authorised Xiaomi account holder. So please let me know if anyone can help me find people who got these accounts.

Hi, good day, I also encountered that. What I did was:

1. Get RECOVERY.IMG from extracted Official Fastboot ROM

2. FASTBOOT BOOT RECOVERY.IMG

3. Wipe Data / Factory Reset using Stock Recovery

4. FASTBOOT BOOT TWRP.IMG

5. Install your ROM (I'm using EU MIUI 11 Stable)

Rooting

1. Get BOOT.IMG from your ROM.ZIP

2 Download Magisk Manager

3. DON'T FLASH DIRECTLY, use "Select and Patch File", then select the BOOT.IMG

4. Flash Magisk Patched .IMG to BOOT

As I have had observed, Android Verified Boot (AVB) is being tripped once you modify or your root apps modify system files.

To be safe, don't use Root Apps that modifies system apps like Root Booster or non-systemless Adblock.

Great writeup [MENTION=1915770]WhitbyGreg[/MENTION]

As Android security gets tighter and tighter, hoping one day all ROMs would support AVB by default..

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Curious question here,

After a launch of any phone, how drastic are such firmware updates to bother about? In other words, Unless we're in stock ROM is it mandatory to update phone firmware?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] WhitbyGreg:
Good to know.

That would be nice but more importantly, more phones need to support re-locking.

Reasonably important, after all, if you never get firmware updates you'll have outdated security patching for the firmware. Some official LOS builds require newer versions of the firmware as they are released and won't install without it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Geofferey:
This guide was very helpful to me when re-locking my Oneplus 7T and enabling hash/hashtree verification. A dude on telegram had actually sent me the link and I only briefly skimmed over. Ironically when looking for patches to fix my issues after attempting to include pre-built vendor/odm and failing I cross referenced and ended up back here.

Here's where I originally found them:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_build/+/278015

https://review.aosip.dev/c/AOSIP/platform_build/+/13385

I myself have made some more patches to ensure every possible pre-built image gets signed on my builds. After some experimentation I have found it possible to have Magisk with hash verification enabled :D

https://github.com/Geofferey/omni_android_build/commits/geofferey/android-10

There is also a fix to ensure appropriate args get passed when regenerating hashtree for pre-built vendor.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] WhitbyGreg:
So you can confirm you have relocked the bootloader on the 7T with AVB enabled?

Yes, those are my patches that I've submitted to LOS, I also have two other patches submitted to allow for other prebuilt images (aka firmware images) to be included in the build process.

I'll take a look and see if I need to update any of my submissions, thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Geofferey:
I will have to update those commits with you as author. I messed that up and set person who picked yours as author. I am sorry. BTW thank you for those patches they were a lifesaver and inspired me.

Yes, I can confirm re-lock with AVB enabled on 7T works and also with hash verification. If I flash an image not signed by the build process with hash verification enabled I go red. Currently I am working on getting magisk directly integrated with build instead of using prebuilt patched imgs that cause builds to not pass CTS.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] quark23:
Why do you want to put Magisk if you went to all the trouble of having avb with a locked bootloader? Isn't rooting defeating the purpose of avb?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Geofferey:
No, it does not defeat the purpose... Hashtree verification will still happen since root can be included in the build as opposed to flashing after the fact. In a way it's actually even more advised. The way I think, having root may lead to a means of being exploited but true AVB closes the door to any persistent rootkits that may try to modify partitions at block level. If ANYTHING modifies the verified partitions phone will refuse to boot and I will be protected. Doing exactly what AVB is supposed to do, verify the phone is in it's intended state. I also think of phone as a computer, you have root access on Linux, Windows and even Mac for Christ sake, why shouldn't it be the same for phones? The ONLY reason we don't by default is so manufacturers and carriers can stay in control. I've been rooting and modifying phones for years without AVB and yet to have a known breech of my data besides the Google apps constantly collecting on me. This just adds another level of security that I used to sacrifice in order to have root access.

Here is my PoC to include Magisk in builds so dm-verity can be kept enabled. Just two commits. If someone could make this better that would be really cool.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] quark23:
I have rooted for testing and you don't gen any warning. The way avb works on my phone is it discards any modification after reboot. With no warning at boot time. If you get hacked, you can have persistent hacks with root. Make a modification from twrp with avb enabled and see for yourself.

You break the Android security model by rooting the phone. If you need certain things you can include them at build time, such as a custom hosts file.

Also, what can you do with root that does not alter the hashtree?

The power you mention is of no real use yet you expose yourself by having it. Sure, you can go by without any issues. The problem is if you happen to get hacked, the attacker has full control over your phone. You won't br able to get rid of it by rebooting.

Also I see no way for google to collect data in this setup, with or without root. Afwall has an equivalent in android 10 (that mobile data & wifi setting) and inter process comms are the real issue if you are worried about rogue apps. Afwall leaks dns requests like crazy anyway.

I say you are better off letting root go and include what you need at build time. I see that as better spent effort than trying to add root.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Geofferey:
So you built your ROM from source with root included, had TWRP go through signing and was able to modify system and other partitions without receiving a device corrupt message? I highly doubt AVB is even implemented appropriately if you were able to do so. If it is implemented it sounds like the old version, tho I remember if I violated FS too much it wouldn't be able to fix and failed to boot. Having a locked bootloader because AVB is enabled does not mean dm-verity is enabled. Also, it should be nearly impossible to just write things like files to /system or w.e. if you are on a device that ships with 10.

I know it does, but I am not doing such small things as modifying a host file. The kinds of things I include in my personal ROMs require such a high level of access to the point where I can not write SE polices that will allow me to pass CTS and spit out user builds without serious modifications to the build env.

The act of flashing Magisk is what breaks AVB, if you include it in the ROM at build time like I am doing then it doesn't need to be flashed. It makes modifications to the system by binding data from the wipeable data partition to /system/. If something utilizes that to install a backdoor or tunnel it goes bye-bye when I wipe. If something utilizes it to flash anything or modify system device no boot.

You're kidding right? Android solely exist as a mean for Google to collect data. That was the whole idea behind Android. Buy & develop an OS that any manufacturer can put on their device, let them certify for Google Play Services and collect the data that powers their ad platform. They certainly didn't opensource their baby for free. If you allow ports 80 and 443 out with inbound related allowed, that's all they need.

I'd just rather the manufactures and Google would implement a root solution that plays nice with Androids security instead of making us resort to violating it. It's funny to me that we find it acceptable for these fools to maintain control of something you purchased with your hard earned dollars because they think we are too stupid to have it. Like I stated root and admin privileges are fully available to us on nearly any PC but phones for some reason are an exception.

_________________________________________________

I could rant and debate about this forever... Fact of matter is, you don't have to disable every Android security feature to have root.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] quark23:
I didn't build with magisk, I just flashed after building.

But you can try and modify anything on /system or /vendor from twrp, without magisk, without locking the bootloader, and see what happens. Avb discards the modification, but doesn't warn you. Curious of your findings regarding this. If you then flash magisk, you ofc break the hashtree and avb and the mods remain persistent.

I understand that you are building with magisk included in the hashtree. What I am wondering is what exactly are you wanting root for? What are you doing with root that does not break the hashtree?

Regarding the data collection, you lost me. What exactly is being collected on a LOS userbuild without google services? Got any dns logs or mitm wireshark packets to show? What service exactly is collecting what kind of data? Google's dns servers can be replaced before building, Greg has some scripts for that. Captive portal can also be replaced or turned off. Apart from that, and any apps you add yourself, what kind of data is being collected as I want to check it out myself. I've monitored my phone and it's pretty silent. Whatever goes out is from additional apps I use. But I don't see anything from LOS. Really curious about this.

Regarding your last point I think it's something akin to risking shooting yourself in the foot by having root by default. I understand (somewhat) the security model and I find it smart to not have it by default. Also Android uses selinux more than your standard linux distro does. There are some differences in the security models between android and pc linux distro.

I'm really hapoy that AOSP exists. Also pretty happy with the LOS project. My problem is with the outdated blobs. Maybe I'll get a Pixel at some point and give GrapheneOS a go. Seems like a really nice project.

Managed to get hardened malloc + Vanadium on LOS atm and I'm liking the browser. Overall I think AOSP is a great project. Not a fan of google's privacy policy but they do make great stuff.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Geofferey:
Ah, there lies the real question. I am including in my personal builds a Debian Linux chroot that gets extracted to /data/ so I can run Linux services, etc. I have customized the chroot with Openvpn so that it connects to my server and essentially allows me back into device wherever it may lay. Basically I am adding in the stuff of nightmares that all this security is supposed to prevent. That is why I want dm-verity, because I know I am leaving my self partially open by doing so. I have a decent understanding of dm-verity and have confirmed that it does and will protect me against the scenarios I imagine. BTW it operates completely differently in locked state vs. unlocked.

Well, if you're the type of person who doesn't require Google Play Services, nothing of course. I was merely stating that Google had open sourced Android in hopes that manufacturers would adopt the OS and qualify their devices for Google PS so that it could be used as a data collection platform. You won't easily see all the information Google collects in a Wireshark log because it is encrypted of course. LOS better be silent as hell without it or I'd contact that dev with a strongly worded message lmfao.

Oh I DO NOT think it should just be enabled by default. If I had my way it would be enabled in dev ops requiring authentication and protected via a different password than the one you use to unlock the device once setup. You'd also require those "root" privileges to OEM unlock once enabled. While those features were enabled you'd be warned on boot as well but without locking you out of apps etc because that kind of sensitive data should be handled by TEE and TZ. In a real Linux operating system that hasn't been fundamentally raped to offer a false sense of security in the name of protecting carriers and manufactures you can modify SE linux policies etc, not while live but without compiling from source. A lot of us forget most these security features exist more to protect their interest and attempt to hide what's going on behind the scenes. I've actually heard of some pretty shady stories where manufacturers in China place ad-tappers that run in background on devices running GooglePS to be sold in US, so it definitely doesn't protect you if the person building your phone is shade.

Me too mate. :D. AOSP has taught me a lot about development and coding in general. Sadly outdated blobs are a usually a by-product of using pre-builts from manufacturers that don't update as often. Pixel would be way to go if that's a concern. I honestly just think a lot of the security is abused to suit their needs. I am just trying to turn it around to work for me where it can.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] quark23:
If you repo sync you should run the vendor files script as there's a couple of new files added. The Muppets github has been updated with them as well. If you don't your build will fail at first power on.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nictabor:
A quick question, forgive me if this is obvious: am I correct in assuming that one the above has been completed and the device is using a locally-built copy of Lineage OS, that I cannot take advantage of OTA updates? I just want to know what I'm getting in to before wiping my phone multiple times.

Anyways, I have a quick q about this. Would I be correct in assuming that if i wanted gapps to be available in my build, I would need to include it during build time and not be able to flash it as per the typical methods?

I am pretty sure I won't be able to but wanted to ask here for you guys' experiences.

Also, [MENTION=1915770]WhitbyGreg[/MENTION] you should be able to i believe. just setup the url properly and host it somewhere with direct download links. (This also requires setup of json for the updater to monitor for updates)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] WhitbyGreg:
Correct (at least as far as I know), once the bootloader is relocked any modification of the system partition (like adding the play services) would trigger an AVB failure.
