Alright, I found the "favorites.list" again. Scrolled up a bit and saw the PK. Here's the screenshot.

Is that alright?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
If you open that first zip you'll see that is starts about the same spot but is just a bit bigger. See that D4? That is the size we still need.

So, hex D4 or 212 bytes more down needed...

Why this trouble as the batch does it for you?

Anyways at least I would like to test some more basenames for it.

As Dr.Fone didn't work for me very well, I tried Cheat Engine to search values from its memory.

Could not find those that I had put to the basenames list. Maybe I didn't try all, but anyways it must be something quite simple like

it's in their other programs. But what, dammit.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Oh, I just followed what you said before.

I just don't feel safe to have a batch file automate a task when I'm not sure what it's doing.

So how much higher should I scroll up? I thought that was fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Okay. But you can see that it's just a batch file doing basic dd commands. And you see the results even...

Next 14 lines DOWN after that you now sent. That is the minimum needed... noT much...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Ah okay I see. Hold on.

Also, how do you know it's 14 lines as a minimum?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Is this alright?

Thanks!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Well, 16 bytes on row. 212 / 16 = 13+

Yes, that should be just enough...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Alright cool. Can you explain why it had to be selected like that? It seems a bit random.

So what happens now?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
I don't know. (It was you who made it a bit difficult - but it's better safe than sorry...)

Maybe someone with more knowledge comes and shows us how it's done giving us just the right password.. LOL

Probably not on next week, but at least now it's possible...

It could have been any file but for plain-text attack the favorites is ideal as in its case we know it's contents. Or can be pretty damn sure.

Now, somebody just trick a Wondershare product to do a zip without any password and we're done really. Or if someone with knowledge does some similar zip having the same specs but no encryption...

Also I haven't tested any new plain-text tools yet.. So, maybe these days everything doesn't have to be so exact - maybe...

edit: crc-32 value matches mine, so our favorites.list is the same.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
No, as in, why was that amount of info necessary. (What was wrong with the short one I shared initially).

Alright I see! So as of right now, we're waiting for someone to chime in, or for yourself to crack it with bruteforce?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
The first one contained just the name of the file and it size. This next one has it and the file itself encrypted.

I try my own tool first - and most likely fail miserably...

But it's a start at least... And maybe I'll play with some other options too...

And then someday, after a year or twelve, I might answer to this thread: I finally cracked it!

The pass is: ******* (f... I forgot the rest...)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Ahhh right that makes sense.

I see haha! I appreciate you helping out, I really hope you can figure out that password! That would be the best thing ever honestly lol!

As for now, is there anything else I can do now to help?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Well, you could do the same as my dumper bat using that hex editor.

Like this. Press ctrl+e. Put hex 37113E36 to the first field and 128 to the last (lenght). Then ok and copy it ctrl+c. Then make a new file ctrl+n. Paste ctrl+v and save ctrl+s. And upload that file here.

It's the same as the Favorites.list2.zip. That is that tail is included.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
I extracted the text from you pic, but do the above anyway.

Or do Like this. Press ctrl+e. Put hex 37113E36 to the first field and 128 to the last (lenght). Then ok and go analysis alt+a, checksums c and there select crc-32 and ok. If the value is not 12E53A1A then the OCR failed and I have a typo...

Then do what is in previous post and upload here or PM the file...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Hi, thanks for your message.

How exactly is this helping the situation?

"tail", I remember you mentioned that before. What does that mean?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
LOL, it helps a lot. Then I don't have to do proofreading myself and also then it's the same for sure.

But maybe my data is right... Do the second way first.

Tail, that name I invented before reading that zip article, is just part of of zip64. Not needed really... contains crc-32 of extracted file and its sizes as compressed and extracted....

edit: if that crc-32 doesn't match you can also just copy ctrl-c and paste ctrl-v that selection to this thread...

edit: here was mine to show how it looks like....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Never mind. I proofread it. It matched, but if you really want to make sure you should upload that file here in case I didn't see some correctly...

Here is your file made similar as I did mine...

Works with some zip recovery programs, haven't tested much...

Not just accepting it but also my password was found when testing...

You could try uploading this file to those online services that promise that if the file isn't recovered you don't have to pay...

Or maybe someone having some free time and powerful enough computer can help you now...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Updated. Now you can use spaces in passwords. Also added new default Dr.Fone password to the basenames.txt. Got it from the memory using Cheat Engine...

What @AkiraPerera04 could do is get a Mac, virtual or real one and install every damn Wondershare software into it. And then grab those passwords from the memory. Cheat Engine is available for Mac too. Use program id (in installer filename or Info.plist / InfoPlist.strings ) as a search string. Try also UTF-16 strings.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
The id used in password can be also from lower version, for backwards compatibility I assume. So some guessing maybe needed, searching part of the program name, etc.

Here is some examples:

Dr.Fone for iOS (id=2300) - different id string found

Dr.Fone for iOS1283

CAN ANYONE VIEWING THIS PLEASE CHIP IN AND HELP AS I'M DESPERATE.

Hi, I tried that stuff you mentioned. I booted up mac on a virtual machine. Spent quite a while tinkering with it. I used both files when experimenting. (My bak file, and the favorites file you made from the hex stuff).

Any ideas? I still haven't figured it out. Corona virus and the never ending lockdown still goes on, so I have a ton of time.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
One problem is that they have so many similar products. So you installed some? Did you find a promising password from the memory? Even if it would not be right one, it could give us clues. That is, if their Mac passwords are like in their Windows products, but just differ a bit...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Wait what do you mean? "Password from the memory"? I don't think I followed what you were saying before.

I tried to independently fix the issue myself, but was unable to, even though I feel as if I exhausted a lot of options.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
I used this...

In Windows it was enough to start a Wondershare program. Not actually using it. The password was created right in the beginning.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
So, how it's going? Does Cheat Engine give any hits? Or too many perhaps? (less than 50 is bearable...)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Yeah, I tried it. Didn't really understand it, watched a few videos and figured out how to use cheat engine. But yeah, I was using it and didn't find much. Honestly, it was pretty confusing.

Honestly did not know cheat engine had a practical use. All I remember using it for was cheating on games back in 2010 LOL!!

Any suggestions? Have you managed to figure anything out on your end? Not quite sure what to do now haha!

Could not get rbkcrack to work. Gives no output or anything. Probably needs Rust installed??? Bkcrack works but no luck. Does it support zip64? IDK. Should read the source code if reveals anything... if rbkcrack supports zip64 as said and somebody gets it working , it should crack it like in 10 minutes when using file as big as Favorites.list. Okay, let say in 20, max...

BTW, noticed that with Winzip those "extra" files can be deleted. The resulting zip is like the one I did, except that it removes the file comment or whatever. Tried their command line version also to test fixing but it broke the zip by messing the flags and password didn't work anymore.

Managed to recover my zip file using the old Passware zip tool of mine.

Same attack against your file failed which is odd as the CRC32 of the file says that the plain-text is the same and everything else except the file date which doesn't matter.

One possibility is that I have made a typo when making your version using that screenshot of yours. So, by using Winzip remove all the other files except "Favorites.list" and post the zip file here (or PM to me) and I'll try again. (Other option is that Mac version is somehow different, but how, IDK -yet)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Okay, tried the same using bkcrack. Took about half a minute to do the same. Although I was using a newer PC this time.

The above key of yours is good actually. Bkcrack extracted the Favorites.list okay, Only but is that the file has five extra bytes as a "header". I don't what crap it is. Did the same when using my zip file. A bug in bkcrack? Anyways, you can always remove them if necessary...

bkcrack -C Favorites.list_AkiraPerera04.zip -c Favorites.list -P Favorites.list_CXZa-ZipCloak-ed.zip -p Favorites.list -d Favorites.list.txt

To decompress you can use Python as said in readme. See also rbkcrack. There is a custom 7za that can extract using the keys.

So, basically we are done - I guess. Longish process but it was a bit of fun. With brute-force it might have taken decades...

edit: no need to decompress as files aren't compressed, just stored...

edit2: that custom 7za for linux extracts files without those extra 5 bytes mentioned....

https://github.com/Aloxaf/rbkcrack#decompress
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Damn okay I see, how confusing! But it makes sense I guess.

So, as far as "removing all the other files except "Favorites.list"", how would I go about doing that? (Precisely, as we don't have room for mistakes)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Wait hold on, I was reading what you wrote in order, so perhaps ignore the other message? How did you figure out the key was alright? It still hasn't been cracked right?

Wait, I'm sort of lost lol. So how are we done? What happens now?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Naturally you would make a backup first. But not necessary anymore as that modified zip was okay.

Yes, you can ignore that winzip stuff. And bkcrack stuff too as we have that key already. It extracted the Favorities.list from those modified zips. (besides those five extra bytes file was the same. Another bug in bkcrack: it gave a wrong key for my zip, missed one zero, but extracted okay-ish.)

So, the key or keys that both passware and bkcrack gave for your .bak file (or for its Favorites.list zip) are correct. Now, you can just use bkcrack to extract those files using the key (or three keys), and then remove those five extra bytes from them (tail -c +6). (edit: when there is more files in the zip, there is lots of more stuff in the end of the extracted file. Maybe because of Wondershare's slightly different zip64 format. Better to use the tools below.)

Or use that custom 7za which is simpler but needs linux***. Better to use x instead of e when extracting BTW... Here is your line for the Linux version.

7za x wondershare_backup_file.bak '-p[6eda3a27_2edfbde4_237a1e01]'

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Or... if the custom 7zip tools don't extract the backup***, then I guess you have to do it the hard way. That is the way I said and then struck-through in my previous post.

Using the bkcrack program itself and then removing the extra bytes if any... your line then:

bkcrack -C wondershare_backup_file.bak -c Favorites.list -k 6eda3a27 2edfbde4 237a1e01 -d Favorites.list.decrypted.txt

***Custom 7za extracts my zip, i.e. Favorites.list_CXZa.zip, but not yours (made from mine) i.e. Favorites.list_AkiraPerera04.zip. But bkcrack extracts both these files (included in the latest WonderShare-Zip-Password-Tester package). (These custom 7zips might be affected by the installed 7zip if there is such. Also bkcrack has given some odd results. Extracted or deciphered ok after cracking, but not when using the keys. Pretty odd. Or I just made a typo, or pasted wrong key when testing...)

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] rspkt:
TWRP is going to be awhile due to issues with Pixel devices and the A/B boot system among other things. Patience here is going to be required especially for a newer Pixel device like the 4a 5G.

You can unlock the bootloader the same as you would any Pixel device. That means reboot into the bootloader, type "fastboot flashing unlock" and follow the steps to confirm the unlock. Keep in mind

this wipes your device

as a factory reset would.

As far as rooting the device, use the canary builds of Magisk to achieve this. Again, the rooting steps are the same as previous pixel devices requiring you to patch the boot.img from the factory image and then flash it via fastboot.
