[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] cavallotv:
Hi, I have an android radio and I would like to upgrade. Sometimes it restarts and freezes. I have a version of MTCD_LM_V2.62_1. What version would you recommend? Android 6.0.1 , sofia3gr_car_64-userdebug 6.0.1 MMB29M eng.hct.....

thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeeohio:
Apologies if this is not the right forum to ask this question.

I have been reversing a bunch of Android applications and found many unused custom permissions. By unused I mean the app creates its custom permissions using the <permission> tag but does not protect any component with it, and never calls enforcePermission() or any of the variants.

Why would a developer add a custom permission in the app manifest if it's never used at all in the code? How can it be used if it does not protect anything in the app?

Thanks a lot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSil3nt:
Some permissions are added automatically when building/initializing the app, & some developers don't bother removing the unneeded ones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeeohio:
Yeah but how often does that happens in practice? I have seen this in dozens of apps. I would expect this to happens in some apps but not a lot of times.

I just flashed it with twrp from MIUI 11 and everything works great, no brick and no app crashes :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daruwalla:
One is full rom another is ota (small size). You shouldn't flash both.

There is no arb level with Poco. Downgrade possible if that's what you meant.

Why would you even say that?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] hidden.hero:
The ARB level of POCOPHONE F1 was increased from 0 to 1 with MIUI 11. I wrote that because ARB could be further upgraded and activated with this ROM.

Any solution?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] w41ru5:
Maybe. :D

There's an app called Wake Lock - PowerManager - I've installed on my son's 910F since a month or so and the phone still works.

It'll slightly take it's toll on battery, but hey you save some $ for the next phone. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=5880097]charleshking[/MENTION]: Reflowing def does work, I know a guy that had to do it 3 times within 6 months to fix his gaming laptop. But it's only meant to be a temp fix, sooner or later the oven thing won't work (failed on him after the 4th try).

The Wake Lock manager app just holds open a wake lock so the phone never enters deep sleep/doze mode, which in the case of an EMMC failing phone can cause it to not wake up.

Last year I had a Note 4 T-Mobile N910T which had a failing EMMC, it had most of the issues you mentioned. But eventually it died, it caught on fire while I was charging it. I now have an N910T which is working with no issues, bought new on eBay almost a year ago.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] akosiryan:
my friend owns an 8525 and all of a sudden it stopped working (cant make/recieve calls and text messages). i tried doing a hard reset and it didnt work. he called att and the tech guy told him that his phone needs to reinstall the rom, which also didnt work. he bought a new phone and gave me the hermes so that i can play around with it. i tried installing wm6 on it and at 15% the update stopped.. and the phone reset itself. now.. it doesnt have a rom installed and keeps on going to the tricolor screen. i tried the unbrick method (in the wiki) several times and still no luck. it keeps telling me that i dont have enough ram but the booting still wont start. what are my other options for fixing this?... my kaiser was bricked before and i did the unbrick method for that and it work.. i havent tried that yet but is there any chance that it will work..?..

he doesnt need the phone anymore but hes hoping that itll be fixed so he can use it as a backup phone.. so.. yea.. any other ideas for ressurecting an old friend?

thanks!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Sounds like the radio rom is dead.... Whats the SPL? You have a chance if it has Hard SPL installed - should say SPL - 2.10 olipro.

If so, try flashing a stock rom first, then a radio only rom. If you get no love, flash a cooked rom on it. I'd do it using the sd card method.

It should work as a PDA if you can't flash the radio, but its a brick cos no more phone calls...

If he doesn't want that, he could sell it on ebay for spare parts...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Codevyper:
I just went through a similar situation last night. I am running dvh_79's v16 (build 19965.1.2.3) Lite. I added his HTC Today Plugin from the sdauto zip file but didn't like how the Today plugin slowed down my phone, so I uninstalled it and that's when my radio took a dump.

I used the instructions in the Hard SPL forum post #116 to unbrick it using the same rom and radio .nbh files and it went off without a hitch.

The first thing anyone should flash onto their phone is Hard SPL v7. Even before any skins. It won't make you 100% safe from bricks, but I'm damn glad I had it on there this morning while I was reinstalling my phone.

BTW ultramag69, I saw a lot of posts by you in various threads talking about unbricking a phone, and correct me if I am wrong, but if I have olipro 2.10 SPL on my phone (which I do), is it possible to initiate an install of a ROM image without being able to successfully boot the OS on the phone? Does Olipro automatically look for HERMIMG.nbh on the SD card? That was a point of confusion for me at first until I ran the HARDSPPL.exe file, but then again my phone didn't brick to the point I couldn't boot the OS.

What are the choices if you cannot boot OS? Are there any that can be performed from the bootloader itself?

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] akosiryan:
well.. i did the kaiser unbrick procedure.. the mtty thingy.. it kinda worked. after that i installed the dopod wm6 rom... it handled the wm6 well---for a while.. after booting, the phone would turn off by itself (w/ 100% battery of course) or even restart itself..

sometimes it will stay on and be "fully functional" (w/o the calling and messaging still...) but somehow freezes when i look at the device information, specifically in the page where it displays the imei (which is missing btw...)..

the "phone" function doesnt work either, as it doesnt show the dialer.. and then after a few minutes, the phone finally freezes...

idk why this happens.. i tried installing other roms but the rom update always freezes. i tried 4 different roms already... so i had to do the mtty thing again...

(i have hardspl installed)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Codevyper, IF YOU HAVE hARD SPL INSTALLED, yes you can run the os flash. Just put the sd card in and reset. As the Hermes is going to the bootloader anyway it will recognise the flash file "hermimg.nbh". I've successfully fixed my phone when thats happened.

akosiryan, it sounds like you may have a corrupted radio rom. This is not gonna make you happy but this is ,at this point, almost 100% unbrickable. You could try to flash a radio only rom - no os, just the radio - but if it gets stuck and you've tried the stock rom then it looks like its a permanent brick... :(

You should be able to use as a PDA if you don't play with the phone functions though... :)

Just as a last shot, you could always use MTTY to check for bad blocks BUT this requires you to downgrade the SPL to 1.10 olipro to fix if you do. Please note though that sometimes the carrier does give you a couple of bad blocks to "brand" it as theirs...

Best of luck. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Codevyper:
Thanks ultramag69! I am indeed running olipro 2.10 on my phone so it makes me feel better knowing that if I can get the nbh on the card, then I can flash the ROM that way.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] akosiryan:
oh well.. me and my friend decided to sell his phone on ebay or sumthin..lol.. so its not a problem.. ill try to do one last step tho.. like flashing the radio only rom to see if itll work.. but i dont really care anymore.. lol.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
No problem... If the Ebay from where you're from is like Aussie ebay, you should get approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the price that the working models go for. Generally the price goes up about 6 hours before the end of the auction with the price skyroketing in the last 10 mins... I'd probably give it a few days on Ebay to make sure people see it....

If you do get the radio rom working, Hermes (jasjam/dopod 838 pro) go for about $250 - $350Aud in Oz.

Cheers...:D

[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] zfk110:
Which phone did you try this? I got Motorola G8 power code name Sofia, its a newer Motorola phone, after flashing using ADB command given above didn't change anything to it.
[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] DMedina559:
Just wanna say this works perfectly for the Moto Stylus!

Thank you for this. Never would I have thought I could put one of my drawings as the boot logo.
[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] Q9Nap:
Terminal output for your flash attempt would have been helpful, but I downloaded the Moto G(8) Power firmware and the logo.bin size is slightly smaller, 5160960 bytes, which is probably why the Moto G Power logo.bin files didn't work.

I've updated the OP with a new build that has support for the Moto G(8) Power included, along with android, omni, and stock logos for it.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad it works :)

Hello, fairly new to this with custom roms and such. Running havoc with twrp on my phone, when I try to boot into fastboot (fastboot boot fastboot) after installing twrp, it just boots into twrp for me. Can I flash the boot logo bin file from twrp, or how do I get it to boot into fastbootd when I have twrp?
[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lightyear99:
You have to flash the stock recovery in Fastboot mode (Fastboot flash recovery) , and only then you'll be able to enter in Fastbootd mode.
[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] Q9Nap:
You can change the extension from *.bin to *.img and flash through twrp with its image flashing feature if you don't want to revert to stock recovery.

TL;DR

Download new attachment to check out matching logo and bootanimation!
[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] Metconnect2000:
Can you check on the link? It appears to be down.
[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] Q9Nap:
Thanks for the heads up; accidentally deleted when cleaning drive.

Link fixed.

Bootanimation is fairly large (~200 mb) as custom rom bootanimation binaries aren't able to parse mp4 bootanimation files.

If I could figure out how to set permissions in the magisk module, I could include a stock bootanimation binary along with mp4 bootanimation files resulting in much smaller file size.
[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] danny8:
The link in the OP goes to a non-existing file.

Further, the zip file in post #8 seems to have no effect. I also tried a magisk debloater module that had no effect. Edit: debloater had some effect. Also, zip file is for a similar model, Moto G Pro.

My system is rooted with Magisk. I'm running the original shipped ROM, 10(QPMS30.80-63-6-8-5). Phone model is XT2041-4. Date on box is 2021-03-18.

My next move is to flash the .bin image from the post #8 zip file, using fastboot.
[Moto G Power Themes, Apps, and Mods] Q9Nap:
I removed the link as I've made an updated version and haven't uploaded yet.

The file in post #8 is for the Moto G Pro.

You can download the exe from the github link in the op: Moto_Logo/bin/Debug

Flash the vbmeta using this command :

I'm getting the "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" Error, does that mean that the images are corrupt?

No! Just ignore the error, if you get the "Finished" message it means that the image has been flashed without any issues.

Can I cross-flash images?(CN -> IN & vice versa)

Some users have reported that the images can't be flashed due to different partition sizes, proceed at your own risk!
