[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] starcms:
What is the need or result of the "bs=1M" in the command? I've never seen that before in other threads. I'm assuming it means block size equal to 1MB. Is that definitely required to get a good pull? Same bs for any/all partitions?

If you have persist and both EFS images backed up, you should be okay. The MSM tool can restore I think everything else. I'd keep a backup especially of any partitions that don't end in _a or _b. The MSM tool definitely takes care of the rest (those ending in _a and _b). I just hate using it because there's no way to make it not wipe userdata. And without being able to make a nandroid backup due to no fully working twrp due to A10, it's just a giant pain.

And unfortunately we can't just OTA our way to the latest, at least not by manually downloading an OTA from 1+. Only way to update is with a real OTA update from T-Mobile.

The A/B partitioning isn't the problem with development. That's been around since Android 7 or 8. It's the new dynamic partitioning format that all phones that launch with Android 10 (or newer) have. Even the Pixel 4 doesn't have fully working twrp yet. It's coming soon though...

Edit: Also, for the dd commands, did you use /dev/block/actual_partition or /dev/block/by-name/friendly_name_of_partition? Again, should it really make a difference?

Edit2: All of these issues have a root cause from Android 10. The new required partitioning system for any phones that launch with it. That's why unlocking the bootloader wipes reserve.img. Because it's in userdata (cause of A10) and 1+ forgot about that and didn't rewrite the algorithm used when the bootloader is unlocked. It's also their negligence (combined with A10) which causes persist (and other key partitions) to become so easily corrupted. Virtually all devices launched since Android 7 use "fastboot flashing unlock" and then "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" to allow changes to device specific partitions. For some reason 1+ still is using the antiquated "fastboot oem unlock" command which unlocks literally everything, even some stuff that unlock_critical doesn't, and which in the old days, didn't matter. A10 especially should not ever be used with fastboot oem unlock. Google says so lol.

If it makes you feel better, this isn't unique to this phone. It's a problem on every device 1+ has launched with A10 and still is (OP7T/TPro/OP8/Pro). Because of A10 partitioning combined with the use of an antiquated bootloader that only supports "fastboot oem unlock"
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] ttabbal:
The block size doesn't matter for the pull and doesn't change the image at all. It just reads in chunks, making it faster.

Yes, I used by-name and it shouldn't matter if you use that or the sd# names.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] LLStarks:
It's your persist and it's unique. The rest of your sensors won't care. If you didn't back it up, you're screwed. An MSM restore doesn't fix this.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] starcms:
The issue is I had a backup of my unique persist. And restoring it doesn't fix the dang fingerprint. That's why I was thinking the issue had to be elsewhere

s10e sm-G970U1 (snapdragon) running the latest android 10

I have a problem where Protonmail and Eufysecurity notifcations disappeare. I do receive the notification and when my screen is on I can see them but it disapears right after it is received.

Tried many thins no battery savings option are on etc.

its been an problem for couple of months now I noticed it first with protonmail but recently got eufysecurity camera and noticed the same problem with this app.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] riggerman0421:
Try using Good Lock and Notistar from the Galaxy store. It saves your notifications and you can look at all of them later.
[Security Discussion] phoneNoob2020:
Hi Guys,

I got a strange email in my emails, when looking at the email from / to it looked spoofed and I was about to click back but I accidentally clicked 'Download images', the ones that are usually blocked when opening an email, not actual attachments. Can JPEGs etc... contain anything malicious?

I factory reset my phone after that happened but that didn't stop my getting 3 calls from Africa this morning, 2 within one minute.
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
They can, eg Stagefright or later in 2016 this

https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2016/09/06/google-android-one-photo-hack/

or just last year

https://www.komando.com/security-pr...e-over-an-android-phone-with-an-image/543634/

which you phone may be vulnerable to if not still getting regular updates

and just this month patch also has media framework bug allowing possible escalation of privileges

https://9to5google.com/2020/06/01/pixel-june-20-security-patch/

however it could just be a coincidence you got a storm call, they just use computers to call from a number list or random numbers.

A factory reset may not get rid of malware that has been able to install itself in the system partition. You need to reflash the full factory image again. Or if your phone not getting updates any more from manufacturer you should ALSO flash a trusted custom rom ie Lineage OS from official source (hopefully there is one for your EXACT model) after you have clean flashed the most recent manufacturer ROM.
[Security Discussion] phoneNoob2020:
I use Android 10 with security patch from April.

Would I be right in assuming that the phone needs to be rooted for anything to be installed on the system partition? I don't have mine rooted.

Last time I reflashed a device, even with official firmware it stopped me getting updates.

It is quite annoying since pretty much everybody keeps saying it is safe to open a spam email as long as a link is not clicked or attachment downloaded but that appears to be rubbish since the images rendering within an email seem to be enough for a phone to be hijacked.
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
You should be pretty much covered for known security issues as you are on April security patch. Though there are of course likely be other unpublished vulnerabilities. You can try submit suspect images to virustotal.com see if it's already known.

Unfortunately malware can install into system partition even if you have not rooted your phone in some cases eg if vulnerability is in already privileged process. (note: I'm not security expert)

Given you are pretty much up to date with known patches I think the phone calls likely just a coincidence, unless you have more indications of hacked phone or other accounts etc.

Edit: PS even if those images were malicious you may be OK as you have recent security patch so they might not have been able to compromise your phone.
[Security Discussion] phoneNoob2020:
Strange thing is Tuesday night before this, I got a reset password email for Netflix... i didn't think too much of it and don't know why they would do that.

That is before Thursday when I accidentally opened a spam mail then later on Thursday got a few calls from an African Number.

Then today I got 3 password reset emails from my other email account, of course the reset requests went to my email.

Microsoft really suck too because I cannot get on my email account from a browser since when I put my phone number in it says, try again later. I am already logged in through the app though.
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
so many reset password requests suggests something is going on, possibly your phone but maybe more likely just one of your online accounts passwords leaked, there were a couple of big ones recently, check haveibeenpwnd or is it just that you reset your phone?

Yeah, I always need to change my browser to old IE to log in to MS cause of my settings/addons
[Security Discussion] phoneNoob2020:
Well I got myself an Iphone SE for now, heard that they are sandboxed as long as they are not jailbroken.. however I removed the native mail app since that has a vulnerability now which is quite famous.

I know it iPhone is a bit of a swear word around here, but it is the best option until re-installing the OS on Xioami mi 8 pro.

Hopefully there is a way to set mi 8 into recovery without using third party tools, XZ1 had a feature to re-install android but that was pretty rare. It is a shame the storage space is so awful on it or I wouldn't have wanted to change phone
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] momobordz:
Hi. Been using my RN9S/Pro for the past 4 days and I feel that my battery consumption is too much. When I got the phone I have charged the device 4 times already with minimal use. I charge when it reaches below 15-20% till 80-90%. I did some test. 1 hour of playing a game called Dragon Raja. It runs on Unreal Engine 4. Medium Setting(no HFR mode). Brightness set to full. From 86% to 72%. Did another test. 3 hours of browsing(purely browsing-no social media app or video app opened) via chrome mostly online shopping with brightness set 10-15%. From 94% to 81%. After browsing went to sleep and left phone on idle not connected to wifi/mobile data no wake screen notification as well. From 81% to 74% idle consumption. Is that normal? I'm seeing reviews of overnight idle consumption with either mobile data or wifi ON around 1-3% and gaming for 3 hours consumed 20-30%(pubgm, codm, mobile legends).

Note: When I got the phone what I did is to master reset it. Installed the App I needed(fb, messenger, twitter, spotify, asphalt 9 and dragon raja). Disabled auto brightness and set it to 10-15%. Uninstall all other apps that phone will let me. Tests were done on separate days.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] ShazlieyAzizan:
that is pretty normal , max i can get while gaming was 6 hours on pubg smooth hd + 60fps using gfx tools , I already switched to custom gsi rom and the battery here is a lot better than stock i can tell but still haven't try for gaming. And one more thing, game like dragon raja consume alot of batteries because the cpu and gpu basically run at full throttle. Used to play on oneplus 7t and i can tell that game consumed alot more battery on that device.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] momobordz:
Thank you for the reply. How about the idle consumption? Is it normal? I did another idle test for 3 hours from 74% to 71%. Wifi and mobile data off no notifications as well. Seems kinda off coz the reviews ive seen is again 1-3% overnight with either wifi/mobile data ON. I did have it in dark mode to save battery and every app that has dark mode on as well. Not sure if something is wrong with the battery. Im worried coz the replacement date is almost due.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Hasimir:
Help!

I have a European Mi 9t Pro and have just flashed the Global (stable :P) MIUI12 rom.

So far so good, it works... but I am now unable to access extended power menu options (aka Recovery Reboot).

The option has also disappeared from the MIUI update settings.

And performing the VolumeDown+Power boot only gets me to a minimal menu with 3 options: reboot to system / wipe / connect with MIAssistant.

I tried using ADB tools to re-flash TWRP to no avail.

The fastboot flash recovery twrp.img command works fine, I get the expected successful output.

But then the fastboot boot twrp.img command returns a "no such file or directory" error.

What can I do? T_T
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
You enter recovery with volume up and power. What happens if you try that after flashing TWRP?

If your not used to it, it is a little different on Xiaomi devices. Keeping holding both until the phone vibrates, then release power but keep holding volume up.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Hasimir:
Thanks for the suggestion, but that's the first thing I did, and it had no effect. Don't know why :/

In the end I resorted to flashing Xiaomi.eu in place of MiuiGlobal ... for some reason it was making it impossible to access Twrp without ADB :(

This solved the problem, but now my Mi9TPro is back to believing it is a K20Pro. No biggie.

Unfortunately, the only way to achieve that was to wipe my data too x_x

Good thing I have almost everything on the cloud.

Problem solved, I guess :P
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] hoopsnake:
Because only eu.miui or eu.miui based roms have that extended power menu it isn't available on any of the stock miui roms afaik.

Flashing miui means stock recovery...

You only need to type 'fastboot reboot' then just hold volume up to get to recovery.

Hello,

The Redmi Note 7 got water damaged. It was fully disassembled and cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Everything works except cellular connectivity (Radio off/No Service). The antenna wire is connected properly. The phone detects the SIM card correctly and the IMEI and baseband in Settings are correct. What part could be damaged and how can I diagnose where the problem is coming from? Unfortunately I cannot unlock the bootloader because the phone cannot connect to the mobile network (Required during the unlock process) to try and test flashing any firmware. I tried resetting the phone from Settings and on start-up Wipe all data but the problem was not fixed.

Thanks

I have only tried it on havoc os 3.5 (less white noise-best results) and ancient os(more white noise) , rest were a hit or miss for me.

1. Install busybox

2. Copy narsil_useroptions file (in the attachments) in internal storage. (You need to extract it and place the file only)

3. Flash the given ainur version (in the attachments) in magisk , reboot.

4. Open uapp- bit perfect mode on.

5. Hifi quad dac settings - choose HIM mode.

U may reduce avc volume to -11 if the noise feels much.. I myself just notice it grossly in a few songs..

If u do not get results , repeat steps 2-5.

Edit*

Solved the volume reset issue- After doing the above steps - the volume resets to maximum - which can get quite hissy at times, therefore , rather than adjusting the avc volume - reduce the balance- under (change the right/left balance ) to a desired number which gets you a low noise floor and done. Now everytime we change / pause/ play songs , the volume remains the same, with the quad dac on always.

Do try on other roms and post the results!

Hello, I have been trawling through posts here and on Reddit for a few hours now.

I only today bothered to install the EMUI 10.0.0 update on my JSN-L21 (UK variant?) and have discovered the issue that many a EMUI user has had: I cannot disable the VoLTE icon on the notification bar. There is no option to disable VoLTE itself in settings. I have tried SystemUI Tuner, and directly blacklisting the volte/volte_call icons with ADB. Neither had an effect.

I suspect I may have had VoLTE switched on in settings prior to the update and left it enabled, but I cannot now disable it as the phone seems to have detected that my provider/contract does not actually support 4G Calling, so it hides this option from me; as such, I cannot see whether or not the option is turned on in the background.

Does anyone have any idea how to proceed from here? I know of SetEdit but I've no idea what I'm looking for. I've seen a small number of things that might be relevant but I fear changing them in case it's wrong. In the Global Table there's a line called "volte_vt_enabled" set to "1"; "card_volte_flag_0" set to "1"; "card_volte_flag_1" set to "-1" ( I assume flag_1 refers to the secondary sim card, which I do not have inserted), beyond that I haven't seen anything but I most likely have missed many things.

Thanks
