[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
sorry haven't had motivation to read about TEE.. it's really hard stuff

the "double encryption" theory is maybe not a bug but feature? android calls it metadata encryption which combines FBE + FDE
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
@JackSlaterIV Have you got it resolved ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackSlaterIV:
Hi, no. I tried so many things, including buying another Mi5 to help in understanding this issue.

I could not reproduce the issue, but comparing the crypto footer flags with a working device helped me a lot.

While testing during a rom update (via adb) I noticed that "keymaster_blob" changed, while the "master_key" did not change. So I guess this will prevent me from recovering the data.

Anyway the device is still here, not used.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Oh okay,are still trying and being optimistic about your chances of recovering the data ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackSlaterIV:
I am not optimistic because of how it looks to me. But I may be wrong.

I took notes of every tentative I did, so I can still analyse and share.

But I don't see so many devs, here and outside, discussing about this kind of stuff.

Do you have similar issues with your phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Oh okay ,don't give up ,you will get through this.

Hello, yes,it's disheartning to see most of the devs and android intellectuals not giving much needed attention to such critical issues, it seems to be an uncharted territory.I haven't found any substantial information pertaining such issues / effects of encryption anywhere. I have been trying things, researching,digging information on XDA and all over internet for last 7 months to no avail and very few people except alecxs (don't know why I am not able to tag him) offered any support to help me resolve the issue.

Here is the deatiled description of the problem

.Our issues are not similar but look close enough as it's also not getting enough traction and response on XDA.Looks like most of the XDA experts are clueless and lack expertise and knowledge about it. o_O
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axee77:
All procedures look legit
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackSlaterIV:
Hello guys, if you want to help optimusodd please use his thread.

I would like to help him too, but I don't know how. I wish him the best of luck.

I may continue to post updates about my issue here in the future, so it's better to keep the this thread clean. Thank you all.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] MetroWestMA:
Title pretty much covers it.....I have had it with the WiFi issues on the OP8 Pro and was going to go back to the OP7 Pro.

....but people are saying that they are all fixed in Android 11 beta on the OnePlus forums...is this true? And what about Dual SIM which I also need on occasion?

If I move to A11 OB2, can I root and get GPay working?

Is it stable enough to be a daily driver?

Many thanks in advance...

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ssssut:
You can root OB2 device, and the OB2 seems usable and also stable enough for daily usage.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Excessiveidling:
I recently acquired a oneplus 8 pro purchased directly from oneplus.com. I have model IN2025. It is the 12gig ram 256 gig storage version. I also have a samsung active watch 2 which I again have had no problems with my oneplus 7 pro. When I initially acquired it, I tried using it with the android 10 non beta firmware. I had multitude of issues up to and including:

1. high difficulty (to not at all) connecting to either my 2.4ghz wifi network OR my 5ghz network. It would state connecting however stall at obtaining IP address. No other devices have issues connecting to either networks including my older oneplus 7 pro.

2. if it would finally connect, while it may state that the 5ghz is connected at 300mbps or the 2.4ghz connected at 144mbps, with random speed tests I would not experience anywheres near those speeds (my ISP dishes out 200mbps). at most I would get 30mbps on my downstream....again if it even worked.

3. both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks would often disconnect and never reconnect if and when they did successfully reconnect

I installed the open beta 1 and then did OTA to open beta 2. This has helped quite a bit HOWEVER I've experienced the following issues:

1. while I have no longer received the locking up on obtaining ip address, even if it states I'm connected to my wifi (either the 2.4 or 5ghz) the network is still extremely slow

2. sometimes the device while connected to either wifi network will appear to not send any information aka stall which potentially makes using google messages over wifi unreliable as well aka text msgs show up late etc

In both pre and after beta installation 5g has been significantly slower than 4g cellular data(though I can't say much to that as more than likely the 4g in my area has towers closer near by). Also while on 4g or 5g cellular connections I have though not as frequently experienced data stalls.

Things that have helped resolve some of my issues:

1. this I believe is the largest potential bandage: make sure use device mac address NOT RANDOM is selected. After having done that my connecting to the internet appears to be better (even if it still stalls out)

2. while I've not tried it alot as I use bluetooth alot (with the watch I have and my car and wireless headsets)I've read that turning off bluetooth can help both wifi and cellular data issues

I am currently in the process with oneplus of returning the 8 pro for a new 8 pro as I have not owned/had the phone for greater than 15 days. If that does not resolve the issue, I too may go back to a oneplus 7 pro...or perhaps the 'dark side' and go the samsung route.

Just sharing my experience so far!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] MetroWestMA:
Excessiveidling,

This is exactly the type of info I was looking for. So it sounds like it is better, but still bizzare WiFi issues that no other phone on the market has. My situation is...

I have to leave bluetooth on because of watch and hearing aids

I need to rely on WiFI calling on occasion and need it to be 100% reliable.

I need working WiFi at home because I use my phone for some applications that connect via my home network, so having WiFi work "most but not all" of the time is a deal breaker.

So at this point I think I am going to switch back.

I've been a loyal OP fan for quite a while (4 phones now), this has been really disappointing. I even bought a new router because someone said WPA3 would help...but it didn't.

MW
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Excessiveidling:
While I can not say anything to the validity of the following statement...I have heard in other forums that the samsung devices with the same qualcomm chipset had wifi/cellular issues (especially with 5g).....that was only ONE forum post however unlike the multitudes of forum posts I've seen regarding the oneplus.

If I were to guess, only based upon my limited modding experiences with previous android phones, an updated modem/chipset software COULD resolve these issues...further more a different/modified kernel as well. Doing that would probably void any warranty though and for spending 800+ on a phone, you shouldn't have to modify in order for it to work just as well if not better than an older phone.

I'll let ya know how the exchange goes. I'm willing to give them another shot 1. because of my excellent experience with the 7 pro and 2. because I've seen so many posts, reviews, etc stating the oneplus 8 pro is THE PHONE to have overall.

Thanks,

E|
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] MetroWestMA:
I read the same thing re - chipset, and agree that is a possibility. The other is a horrible RF design for the BT / WiFi antenna because they crammed in the wireless charging.

But I don't see any of this getting fixed anytime soon. I wonder if the OP8 (non pro) has similar issues -- I didn't check.

Let me know how your new phone works out - an RF HW update or a new batch of chips could change things.
[HTC Desire 510] r3al77:
Hi all, I have a Desire 510 (D510n), I assume it's a 64bit version.

Long story short purchased a lot of devices on ebay cheap, The Desire 510 (D510n) had no rom that would boot, I assume someone else was tinkering with it, I was able to get the bootloader unlocked and was able to flash a version of twrp I had found in this forum, I may have messed up doing that as I can not do anything with it, It wont flash any roms, it will complete flash but will not boot, I tried many RRU and cannot get it to connect with them, sideloading twrp or cwm will not override the twrp currently on it, I can sd flash in the pre recovery mode but cannot flash as it says its to large.

I have almost run completely out of ideas, I was hoping to ask someone if they happen to have a RUU that is for aus so I can extract the rom.zip from temp folder or a twrp backup of Australia stock to test if twrp will at least flash that.

I am happy to update with any details I can and will post pictures if that helps.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Cheers, R3AL
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] HRSE:
I was a Mi A2 user for a while, now I'm moving to Note 9 Pro and I feel a bit lost because of lacking of guides and tools.

I encounter some unexpected issues with disabling phone encryption. In short, I followed the steps I used for my Mi A2, but it seemed only working partially, and I encountered boot loop when upgrading ROM afterwards.

The details are as follow

:

I have Note 9 Pro global (joyeuse), originally it was on stock ROM V11.0.5.0.QJZMIXM

After unlocking bootloader, I booted to TWRP with TWRP-3.4.1B-joyeuse-fix.img (from https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/custom-twrp-3-4-1b-for-redmi-note-9-pro-joyeuse.56896/ ) and flashed Magisk, then Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip (from https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe )

Everything was fine, I could debloat and disable Xiaomi services, and Google Pay was working (with Magisk Hide and MagiskHide Props Config).

But when entering TWRP again, TWRP requested passcode to decrypt data, that's when I realized the phone was not decrypted. Booting to normal mode, phone Settings showed "Encrypted". But because TWRP was able to decrypt with passcode and could backup as normal, so I ignored it.

When V11.0.7.0.QJZMIXM was released, I backed up /data using TWRP and flashed the new ROM using fastboot without erasing data. Then the phone was in boot loop (it showed redmi logo then vibrated then rebooted)

I flashed back V11.0.5.0.QJZMIXM without erasing data, but it still entered boot loop.

I decided to wipe data (using TWRP and using Wipe menu in XIaomi recovery mode), but boot loop still occurred.

I flashed V11.0.7.0.QJZMIXM again, but this time without keeping data (flash_all.bat), but boot loop still occurred.

I accidentally selected flash all & lock bootloader (in MiFlashTool), then phone could boot up normally. But I lost root, and bootloader was relocked.

Additional info: In a rage, I turned on Developer mode and tapped to bind mi account, and now I have to wait 168hrs to unlock bootloader again.

Questions

:

What have I done wrong that the phone entered boot loop even after wiping data?

What's the proper way of using TWRP so that I can backup data and can update ROM in the future without going through this mess again?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] daigtas:
first of all you are not the only one that faces same problems. So chears mate. Next is the TWRP and the lack of stable/working version since i have done quite few phones now i can tell that the TWRP encryption ignore is not persistent and it works while you don't touch the recovery and not booting it up. Upon the boot it triggers the encryption and although he filesystem is not encrypted it still thinks it is.

Solution for now? wait for the fixed version while this is new phone and may take some time to re-code he recovery (find the damn cause of the encryption trigger).

Anyways. I am still thinking to do the fastboot rom mod, root it while it is not flashed and hen flash it while i don't actually need. I just need to remove all the miui/xiaomi stuff, block the damn ADS and root the phone and those things can be done on a pc i am just figuring out the correct way to do i.

The idea about skipping the TWRP came right after i downloaded mi-flash tool and found out that it uses same fastboot mode to flash everything and the file structure of the rom is not packet or something. Img files can be exacted and re-packed again so everything in the image can be modified.

What i really hate is the fact that there is tons of tools for other phones but somehow Xiaomi was skipped in the device selection...

Downloaded unlock tool, nice but limited to only requesting ad unlocking the phones bootloader. Next thing is the flash tool, it is limited to only flashing. There is xiaomi tool v2 that can also install the twrp, and cause the encryption crap or download and install stock or xiaomi.eu...

What i was looking for was the tool that can take the stock, decompress it and allow you to choose the apps you want to be per-installed, add some functions to it, mod bootscreens, pre-root it and eventually pack and flash the damn thing. While you are skipping the recovery procedure you are way safer than with its crap.

Agree with me?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] HRSE:
More than one month, 280 view, 1 comment, no solution, no answer. Everyone out there are competing with each other to create their own ROMs/recovery/kernel images with whatever catchy names they can think of. Nice. But what's the point if the basics are not yet nailed down?

BTW, Telegram channel is flooded with non-contributing chit chat.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] sir_bazz:
My casual observation is that lrtwrp seems to be a common theme for those who have had major issues on Joyeuse.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Limezero:
For what it's worth, TWRP does not currently have any official builds for curtana OR joyeuse as far as I can tell. The flashing of early, unofficial, pre-alpha ports of TWRP directly onto partitions causing bricks is not that surprising. Xiaomi locking down EDL access is a ****ty move, but still.

it shouldn't be more difficult than connecting it to a phone. Simply install the Galaxy Wearable app on your tablet and make the connection.

If your watch is already connected to a phone or another tablet, choose Connect to new phone on your watch (Settings, than the last option).

You cant connect your watch to more than 1 device.

[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] SreyasXd:
Atlast I got a way to turn on wifi calling on Moto E4 plus. I tried it on nicklaus, it also works on owens.

So to do it you need magisk root(>19v).

After magisk installation is done, go to this link and download the latest voenabler module:

https://github.com/edgd1er/voenabler/releases

This is a magisk module for enabling volte and vowifi created by edgd1er(thanks to him for creating this module).

So after downloading it, put it into your phone and open Magisk manager app and go to modules section->click +(add)->go to the directory where you saved voenabler module and select it and magisk will install it.

Then do a reboot

Now if you go to settings->more->you will see wifi calling. Toggle it on and select wifi preferred. And thats it...now wifi calling is on.

If you're facing stability issues (like no incoming calls on wifi calling), then you may have to change your stock kernel and install a custom kernel.

This technique works on all roms(stock, custom).

It worked perfectly for me. So feel free to ask any questions, if you stuck in any step.
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] zspeciman:
Hi @SreyasXd, I have the exact same phone. I tried to install the Wifi Calling from the play store. The app It lets me enable that feature, but it doesn't stick. This is my main phone and I use it frequently, I can't risk stability issues with it. How has it been working for you since? Thank you.
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] SreyasXd:
It works well, there would be no stability issues whatsoever if you do the process right. Just follow this

as it is and get your phone rooted with magisk, then download and add the module provided above. You will have wifi calling working.

Important: Your carrier must support wifi calling
[Other SmartWatches] Gamarillo:
I got some brand new, unopened watches of the bankrupt company TOMOON for tinkering.

technical data:

Screen: E-ink

Screen size - 1.73"

Resolution- 240x320 pixels, 16 shades of grey

OS - Android 4.3

CPU - MIPS 1 Ghz from Ingenic

RAM - 512 Mb

ROM- 4 Gb (about 2.5 Gb is available)

Bluetooth - version 4.0+EDR

Battery - 270 mAh

Weight- 37.5 g (the watch itself); 49,5 g (with the original leather strap)

microUSB for charging and data transfer

Housing - made of high quality 316L steel.

Wrist strap - made of genuine high-quality sheep leather. Specially made fixators for easier change of the strap

Production date - 2015-2016

The company doesn't exist anymore. (quite an interesting story, gonna tell it later)

The original application for connecting to the phone is dead (since the server used for autorisations is dead as well).

So, only third-party software can be used. Actually WatchDroid works just fine.

The installation of any Android software is allowed by default.

There is root available too.

But there is a problem: If the watch dial set to the original one (showing info about weather, steps and location) and the watch language is set to English (or any other language except Chinese) the original launcher crashes , though English is meant to be a valid option - it's possible to call the language settings through ADB: "adb shell am start -a android.settings.LOCALE_SETTINGS" and there are English/Simplified Chinese/Traditional Chinese options to chose from.

By the way, older firmwares don't seem to have this problem.

And if the watch dial is changed to any other (which don't show info about location, and weather), setting the watch to English (or any other language) works just fine. No crashes.

The problem is, changing the dials is only possible through original (dead now) phone application, the cracked version I got from a friend in China. But that version is bound to my phone and can't be used on any other. So, if I change my phone, or lose it, I lose the ability to change dials and use the watch in English.

I know, that some of Chinese guys worked it out and made a little app allowing to change the dials (and even allowing users to customise them) just from the watch.

I can't figure it out, how to change dials without an original application.

Is there anybody who would like to get it done? If yes -

I'm going to send a brand new TOMOON T-FIRE METAL watch as a gift to that person! Totally free.

The company went bankrupt, so anybody can tinker with their software and hardware, without any legal problems.

What do I have and can provide:

There is the last firmware (update package with ADB .bat files for autoupdating)

There is the root package (also ADB with .bat file)

There is an original application (doesn't seem to work on the new Android versions)

There is a cracked one, but it doesn't work without an unlock file, which must be obtained by the seller.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lordofworms:
Hello all,

first let me say I love this site , and if it wasn't for these forums then I never would have been able to do the following...

secondly, let me also say that I am no means a coder- but more of a graphic artist as such I am sure the following application could be written better...so I am offering the source code and graphics in case anyone wants to develop it further...personally I would like to have been able to make it landscapable as well as read the 'password' and the program to block from a config or .ini file..as it is now the password is embedded within the actual .exe.

I know there is development of a similar app (much better probably too)but I figured I would share what I have and hopefully it might grow into something better.

.zip file contains the folder with my vs2008 project/source code

a folder with all the graphics I used (as well as layered .psd files for artists to manipulate further)

and lastly the actual .exe and 3 .wavs used in the application..

because I am new to this if you want to try the application out you must place it on your storage card in a folder called Lockdown in 'Program Files'

thus: Storage Card\Program Files\Lockdown

please let me know what you think (even though I dread the inevitable.."you could have done all that with just these 2 lines of code"...but its a learning experience for me and I am thrilled to have been able to get this far with it.

the PASSWORD to unlock SMS messages is : 1-7-9-3 then hit 'OK'

thank you:
