[Magisk] CreepycCrafter24:
The manual instructions are mostly there for advanced users that don't like automated installation scripts or for non-standard environments. If you just want it to work you should be able to use the automated install script.

Proot is the utility that allows the script to have an isolated environment with an openjdk install. By "copying over to proot" I mean copying the file into a directory that is easily accessible from the proot environment, such as usr/var/lib/proot-distro/installed-rootfs/ubuntu/home, which is the proots home directory

The thing with ubuntu-... is interesting because that exact script worked when I last tested it. Could you try upgrading your packages? (pkg update I think)
[Magisk] DoubtTM:
I actually tried used the automatic install but as i said it failed, so i moved to manual which is strange too...

Packages are all on latest

I would have attached some screenshots but xda says no
[Magisk] CreepycCrafter24:
I just updated all packages on my side and "ubuntu" still shows up as a valid distro in proot-distro. I am confused. I guess you should try manually running the commands in the setup script and replacing the distro name
[Magisk] DoubtTM:
Hmm, manual setup kinda doesnt work either , might need some eidts in the automatic script but ive no clue bout that
[Magisk] dememted1:
Automatic script fail at ubuntu unknown distro. I think the script should read "ubuntu-20.04"

Note: ubuntu-20.04 installed manually
[Magisk] Truant_Luce:
Am I doing it right?
[Magisk] AFAFontes:
Yes you have the distro installed already but if you want to use automatic setup you need to wait for the script to be updated or edit yourself because path and login are still wrong.
[Magisk] CreepycCrafter24:
I changed the install script to reference ubuntu-20.04. You might need to run "proot-distro remove ubuntu-20.04" if you still have the proot from a failed install. Other than that it should now work.
[Magisk] DoubtTM:
Its proot-distro remove ubuntu-20.04 btw
[Magisk] Truant_Luce:
Thought I'd share a screenie that I feel is most relevant. I did uninstall the old one and try again, to meet this end. Still unsuccessful.
[Magisk] CreepycCrafter24:
I have added git to the required packages. You can try the install script again. Also note that the command "smalipatcher" won't work because the home directory is not in PATH so you will need to run "./smalipatcher" instead.

Is it possible to implement android 11 signature spoofing patch?

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/pull/1222/files
[Magisk] CreepycCrafter24:
This might be possible but currently I don't have the time to try to implement this. If you need it right now you can try to implement the patch yourself.

Otherwise I will look into it in the coming days
[Magisk] ivomin:
Another problem is that the downloaded ubuntu doesn't come with the build tools for building vdexExtractor (done in setup2.sh)

so you might need to additionally run ./smalipatcher-shell and run "apt install glibc-utils zlib1g-dev" inside it.

Tested on freshly installed treble havocOS with magisk.

Don't forget to give termux permissions for storage!

[MENTION=10071420]CreepycCrafter24[/MENTION] might add those to the script.

I feel like I'm stress testing your patience for noobs. Lol. Linux isn't fully my forte, but I understand a little. I am learning. I appreciate your willingness in making this project.

[Galaxy S6 General] TWeaKoR:
Great guide! I've been meaning to get into making my own ROMs, particularly now that development for the S6 has all but stopped.

However, when I unpacked Assayyed my AV scanner Immunet (which uses CISCO's AV database) pinged up that there were 4 instances of "Andr.Dropper.Slocker::apk.agent.talos". These were in Superuser.apk, CLASSIC.zip, ASSAYYED.exe and FAST.zip.

Now, maybe this trojan is part of how the software operates - I could certainly see that as a possibility with things related to MicroG - but really a tool meant to remove things from a ROM, a tool you run in Windows oustide of Android, shouldn't be adding stuff like that back in.
[Galaxy S6 General] avidichard:
Finding a WINDOWS tool to create a ROM is already not easy. On my side, I have not had any issues in running Assayyed. But I agree that the devs should AT LEAST try to make their apps AV detection free or at least warn people as to why they've incorporated those codes inside their app. BUT, that left asside, all the scripts used to do the work are available and one can simply make their own scripts or bat files and never use Assayyed as they simply launch commands from their scripts. Thank you for this information though!!!

Hey Guys,

some time ago, i installed office mobile 2007 on my Wing..(P4350)

But i don´t need it, it uses more memory (storage) on my phone than the 2003 version, which was installed.

So, can anyone pls. give me the office 2003, which was previously installed? (I have no original installation files, the programm was already installed on my p4350 when I received it from Base (my provider.))

Thanks in advance!

[General Questions and Answers] MiKenning:
TL;DR: My phone, a Moto G7 Plus, only charges one way round on my USB-C-to-USB-C charger while the phone is on. When it is off it charges on both sides. It works on both sides of a USB-A-to-USB-C cable always. What is happening?!

My phone, a Moto G7 Plus, behaves very strangely. It will work in specific circumstances in inconsistent ways with a USB-C-to-USB-C (C-C) cable, but it will always work with a USB-A-to-USB-C (A-C) cable.

Imagine my C-C cable has two sides, A and B, which should both work (as it used to) since it is a reversible cable. When my phone is on, charging works on side A, but not side B. When I turn off my phone, it works on side A and B. If I turn on my phone with side B plugged in, it also works. But if I then unplug the charger and plug it back in on side B, it doesn't work. Sometimes charging with a C-C cable doesn't work at all unless I restart my phone.

My A-C cables all work on both sides.

If my phone works with A-C cables but not C-C cables, I guessed it was either a hardware problem. But if it's a hardware problem, the problem should be the same when the phone is off. Is it therefore a software problem? Is there a problem with the negotiation of power to the phone? Is one of the pins dirty? What on earth is happening?

I decided to clean my phone's port in case there was dust or dirt in the way interrupting the contacts. But this has not helped.

Ultimately I have done the following to diagnose the problem—and I am none the wiser.

Steps to resolve:

Removed lint from the port with a toothpick (obviously turning off the phone first)

Cleaned the port with rubbing alcohol and cotton wool (with the phone off).

Blasted the hole with compressed air.

Blasted the cable hole with compressed air.

Tried other A-C and C-C cables.

Bought a new 3.1 C-C cable.

Plugged the phone into a computer's USB-C port rather than a wall-charger.

Cleaned the contacts with a pin wrapped in alcohol-drenched cotton wool.

Does anyone have any insight into this very odd behaviour? I am stumped for troubleshooting.

UPDATE 28/10/2020, 12:55 p.m.:

Using an A-C cable, transferring data to computer only works on one side, but not another. Presumably a specific pin in the phone is faulty or dirty that is only used in a specific orientation.

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] dadu1257:
On my way to installing LineageOS I tried to downgrade Android version 11 -> 10. Unfortunately I used the WRONG INCOMPATIBLE firmware files from google's website (I think for 3 XL), that's why I have a brick now. ''Device is corrupt and no bootup possible.''

Access to Fastboot and STOCK Recovery Mode is possible.

Bootloader is Locked Now (it *was* unlocked before for flashing the firmware)

ADB is not working (since I'm getting stuck on ''google'' symbol when booting up I can't go to Developer Settings)

Factory Preset from Recovery Mode fails: ''can't send spi messages.'' Same Brick occurs.

With No Access to ADB (is it possible to set up from fastboot mode without enabling it in den Developer Options?) I can't try stuff.

And with the bootloader locked no way to flash a new Rom right?

I have NO IDEA what to do next, any IDEAS??

Thank you!!

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Since you can get to recovery you should download the latest ota and sideload it from recovery.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] DriveEuro:
https://developers.google.com/android/images

you should flash the stock image from recovery. Basically unzip it all and just run "flash-all.bat"
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] dadu1257:
Thank you, this worked perfectly fine, since you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash this system image.

However, I am facing a new problem on my way to installing TWRP Recovery Image...!!

CMD gives me THIS log:

Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'Not allowed to flash (recovery)')

fastboot: error: Command failed

- the device is unlocked (I even relocked it and unlocked it again, didn't work)

- I tried one other older .img for my phone from official twrp.me website, didn't work

Any Ideas?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
You need the BL unlocked to flash unsigned/unofficial images, so make sure yours is unlocked. That being said, I'm not sure how solid twrp is for our device, I've never tried it. Twrp was/is a little iffy for android 10 never mind 11. Most around here just use fastboot to do what needs to be done. Most of it is pretty quick and painless, and twrp is not really necessary.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] teemothay:
I'm pretty sure you would have to downgrade to android 9 (pie) and install a custom kernel to get twrp to install. Unless you want to rock android pie - like I currently am (Bootlegger's 9 - I like my smartbar customizations) - it's best to give up on TWRP and just use fastboot commands for android 10 and up.

If you do decide to downgrade to pie the elementalX kernel (ElementalX-P3a-1.06) works fine with twrp and is available on their site. Temp boot twrp via fastboot, flash kernel, flash twrp zip file, reboot to recovery and flash magisk zip for root (if you want root). But it may be hard to find older pie ROMs out in the wild to flash since devs have dropped support and will be focused on android 10/11.

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Twrp doesn't work very well on android 10 and above, there is a twrp install guide around here, but not much has come from it. When was the last time anyone actually made and used a nandroid backup? Not that backups aren't important, but that's a little antiquated. Besides, most are really trying to backup data, which is a shared partition on A/B devices. Generally, restoring data on A/B devices causes more problems than anything. Most data backups can be done with an app and/or making a backup of your internal storage. As for more sensitive things like your persist partition and whatnot, you can always use the 'dd' command to back those partitions up.

I should clarify, restoring nand backups of data causes more problems on A/B devices, apps that restore data and settings tend to handle it better.

How can I get out of that?

I used the boot.img from the google firmware android 10 I built Lineage on. Should I use a boot.img from LineageOS .zip? Is there anything like this?

Reflash the boot.img from Los17 to get back to proper boot up, then patch Los17 boot.img and flash that to have root.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] dadu1257:
Where is the boot.img from Lineage? There is no such file in the Lineage folder I downloaded.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
A lot of devs wil upload the boot.img separately when they upload the rom, so wherever you downloaded Los from check there. If you just have a payload.bin file in your zip, you can always dump it and grab the boot.img there. You could always just reflash Los period to get boot back, then us 'dd' command to backup your own boot.img.

custom recovery for lineageos 17 based on android 10?

thanks!

I got Lineage 17 w/ Magisk root running now and want to perform a full NANDroid Backup.

After some research it seems crucial to have a custom recovery like TWRP for that. There is the online nandroid thing - but I would need CWM or anything like this to restore?!

So my question is

a) is there another custom recovery (compatible with Pixel 3a XL w/ lineage 17 based on android 10) I can install and perform Nandroid backup with?

b) any other solution to perform this backup and restore? I heard there are cmd commands for that as well , but I'm a noobie not so sure to do that.

of course there are several apps out there to backup data.. but I don't trust ''any'' app to get root permission. In F Droid I couldn't find what I was looking for.

thank you for help!
[General Questions and Answers] NeuralNetworkZ:
Hey all!

After my second phone, my beloved OnePlus 7 Prom was stolen. I have been wondering why there is no proper protection against stealing the phones. iPhones are locked to their account they are activated with..

why does google not implement something like this to their android devices ? In germany is also not possible to track an phone by its IMEI, expect its part of a proper ciriminal act. I was a little bit upset by the fact, that someone can steal your phone, just do an hard / factory reset from the bootloader and can continue using your phone. In this case, the only good thing is that your personal data is wiped.

Imaging someone would have accsess to your personal data on your phone, its much more worse than losing a few hundert euros. Anyway, i am feeling uncomfortable with the fact, that something like this routine is surely working like a charm (éven in germany!) and a easy way to make money.

So if not the providers, the government or google is protecting you from this to happen - i think i should do it on my self.

So my idea was to install to use something like cerberus and install it to the system partition via root access. Now my only concern is, if i rooted my phone, i would possible make it easier to bypass the screenlock of the phone or not ?

Would be great if you would share your thoughts on this!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] BoyPogi:
My phone is converted to ww from cn out of the box and then I checked my phone in device info and in description is CN and my fingerprint is WW, what should i do to make it both to WW??

I manually update my phone using WW updates
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Do this at your own risk, it could make your device unbootable requiring raw rom flash to fix. Back up everything first.

I had this issue with latest WW 2009.49. I used root explorer apk to change anything I could find in build.prop from CN to WW, leaving rest of the titles same. You'll find it under system/vendor/build.prop in root. Using root explorer click and hold file to highlight, 3 for menu and select open with text editor. Make the changes, save and exit. Reboot, check rom version again with device info hw to see if it's changed to WW.

If your phone has latest .49 on both slots (you can check with 'device info hw' from playstore. Click on fingerprint under system and it'll show which slot you're currently on plus rom/firmware version. Boot to other slot, check both slots are same firmware. If they are, repeat process again with editing build.prop.

Don't copy and paste 1st edited file to other running slot, it most likely won't boot. Make the edits twice if both slot firmwares are equal. After edit, reboot. CTS now passes for me using magisk hide ?
