hi guys

I have a neighbor 12 y.o. boy that have hearing problem. he got 4 birthday present a Note 20 ultra 5g (korian).

This sweet kid really into music, but unfortunately the bluetooth headphones volume isnt good 4 him.

I checked the level that he need with another device (my home hifi), and I have to increase the phone volume by 20%..

the device is: Device: SM-N986N (snapdragon), Android version: 10.

The family & the boy dont really care about loosing warranty, so any real solution - falshing mods\custom roms & so on - is great.

come on guys help do some good 4 that boy.

tnx

does the viper 4 android 2.7.2.1 - need root? and most important : does it really increase the b.t. earphones volume by 20-25%?

if u can get me an app (any app) that will do the trick - u will b a hero 4 this yo

ung boy !

tnx mate

Yes we can only try and keep each other safe and happy in this time and that's all that's worth fighting for. :good::good:

https://www.xda-developers.com/viper4android-v2-7-new-ui-profile-management/

That link will give you a bit of information regarding the app.

It needs root so you will need to root the phone - but the good news is it does increase the sound greatly and is very flexible in its features :) Perfect for my music - under the master limiter option is a slider which increases the bluetooth headset volume

Make sure the bluetooth headphones are paired before

To set it up you need to

1, root device - any help needed with this, no problem :)

2, Make sure the bluetooth headphones and then install viper4android (v4a) apk attached in next post - it will ask you to accept root - hit "yes" and then install drivers - again hit yes

3, the phone will reboot - when it has booted disable bluetooth for now and start some music on the phone and open the app and go to settings

4, check "compatibility mode" and you should see the V notification pop up - go to main v4a screen

5, tap the small hash icon next to the settings icon and that will bring up a small window titled driver status - if "Neon Enabled", "Enabled" and "Processing" say "Yes" - v4a is processing normally in speaker mode and is fully functional.

6, You should now be able to reactivate bluetooth and play music with v4a fully working and just use the volume gain under "Master Limiter" to give the lil' chap the volume boost he deserves :)

I use another app called sound assistant (available on play and galaxy market - no root needed) with the v4a app - sound assistant has a graphic equaliser that i crank up on all channels for an extra music boost - this might also help.

Give me a shout if you need assistance.

One love!! ;):good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rastamit:

If you download "Power Amp" there is a section in settings called audio. It lets you apply gain pretty easily. It also lets you apply gain without clipping. I think you will need the full version to do this though. PowerAmp.

Once you add the gain there is also a gain slider in the equalizer section. Along with dials to increase or decrease bass treble and loudness. It has album art (it will dl it for you) and some cool visualizations.

Viper is an excellent choice also but PowerAmp works withough root and is super easy to install. It may be the ticket it gets plenty loud. The UI is a little outdated but once you set it you can forget it.

If you need any help with it let me know I have been using it for years.

Have been searching to see if i can upgrade my android version, have a samsung galaxy tab s that i have had for 6 years, had no problems with it until i tried to download a bank app, it couldnt find it, the banks customer service said it has to be running android version 8 or above. Had no reason to check this before but discovered im running android version 6.0.1 - any one know if i can upgrade and how. Checked software updates and they are up to date. Any help would be appreciated, its a fairly old tablet so cant find it listed on some of the sites i checked. It works great though, so no complaints. Would just be handy if i could upgrade. :)

I MADE THIS THREAD A FEW MONTHS AGO, DIDN'T GET THE ANSWER!! PLEASE HELP!

So, my brother backed up my Samsung Galaxy S4 on his laptop about 3 years ago. Can't remember the program used. He gave me the backup file recently. It's a .bak file which is 1.4GB.

(I screenshotted the file name and attached it here titled " FILE BACKUP TITLE.PNG")

I edited the file, to a .exe. (eg “Samsung SM-G350E_20191001_103009.bak” delete the bak and write exe after the dot and press enter.) That way I can access everything through winrar. However all of the files are encrypted! We have no idea what the password is, what shall I do! (Attached the "enter password" screen in winrar titled " RAR.PNG")

It has 1000's of photos from 2014-2017, I have no idea on what to do. I've checked out brute forcing, but I wasn't sure how to do it.

Thanks.

I saw this earlier this morning when I was researching it. It didnt work. :crying::crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
I'm not sure how to do that. Everytime I click on the file, it forces me to enter a password.

Are you sure that would work? It's not a rar file though. It's an application now, because I renamed it from .bak to .exe.

Thanks!!

(Attached screenshot of the standard file (the BAK file), then the edited one which opens through winrar (the application). Won't upload for some reason, (in the original post).

So basically, the file is a ".BAK" file, then same file was renamed to be an "application" file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Try some hex editor to see its first few bytes. HxD is good...

Probably not a rar (Rar!), nor an exe (MZ), more likely a zip (PK).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Okay, I'll try that, hold on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Okay, so I used HxD.

It's just a giant load of text, how do I know what it is?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Opens in winrar - so there is limited number of candidates...

Try for example https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html or

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
By the way, I tried that and it didn't work. Apparently winrar "cannot execute" it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Okay, it's a zip. If older encryption is used then one known file could be used to decrypt it. Was it Advanced something that had that option??

Did that Wondershare Tunesgo ring any bell??

One could try use it again, mayby an old version and see if the files saved are in same order, etc...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Advanced? I'm not sure what that means?

Alright, I'll try that wondershare stuff now. I have seen it before, could be a subtle memory! Hold on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
It was advanced password recoveries from elcomsoft, but there are free tools for this known plaintext attack too. https://www.google.com/search?q=known+plaintext+attack+zip

Quite many variables that must match for it to work, but then again, only 12 known bytes is enough, of which at least 8 bytes need to be continuous, so only part of the known plaintext file is needed...

To see if it's even possible open it with 7-zip and see the encryption method.

It should be "zipcrypto deflate/store". Maybe also rar shows it....

If it looks like wondershare file, then using that password (that didn't work) as base could work. At least it would not take much time check numbers from 0-10000+++.

Alright I see, I think you're talking about a bruteforce attack right? Do you have a link for a proper one? So far, none of them havent even started up properly yet.

Alright I see, how do I load the file onto wondershare aswell? There doesnt seem to be a dialogue for it at all.

FORGET IT, I WAS MISTAKEN, because the backup file is proved to be ZIP-formatted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Oh alright yeah lol.

So what shall I do now?

The other guy mentioned a brute force attack, but I cant find a program download that works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Hmmm, nothing happens? I dragged and dropped the .bak onto either one of the 2 exes and literally nothing happens?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Okay, and you extracted the package, not just browsed into it in explorer...

Hmm, if so then it's damned win10 then that is causing it. Happened to me too on newly installed win10 just recently. Don't remember what was the program, but I got some warning screen though - on second try. After hardly reading it and confirming it with ok, all was running fine...

Try running the program, 7zFM-keys.exe, just by double clicking it. Then if it runs, browse for that .bak file inside that 7zip File Manager...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Yeah, I extracted it.

Nope, double clicked either one of the 2 exes and nothing happens. Just the pinned icons on my taskbar look like they refresh each time I open the exe?

Also, why are u calling it that? For me it's called "7za-keys-lc" and "7za-keys". Not " 7zFM-keys".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Because I'm talking about that other package and programs inside it. You are still trying to use the command line versions...

Do this, it's simpler...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
NOOO WAYYYY!!!!!! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!! I wish I could pay u a billion pounds loll!! I would never have figured any of this out, and probably would never have gotten the contents back.

Can't believe it honestly, started this thread months ago and honestly wasn't expecting the backup to be retrieved!!

A random key you posted earlier just worked when prompted with the password.

All of my files and stupid photos on my S4 are all retrieved!! Dating back as far as Christmas 2014!!

Thanks for all of your effort in this, appreciate it a ton. I'm sooo happpppyy!!

Also, how do you open .list files? It automatically opens in notepad for some reason.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Nice! For me this was a fun project for sure. Learned a lot, and we had a lot of luck too.

One thing you could do for me. By using the Winzip remove all the other files except that "Favorites.list" from that original .bak (backup it first if needed) file and post that zip to me. I want to check it against the one I made from my .bak file similar way...

Just to learn more...

Those .list files are just .xml files.

I'll do that tomorrow, it's quite late over here.

Also, the LIST files still don't open. They just open in notepad as a ton of code.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
BTW, when deleting the files from that backup, do not change the extension to zip. Leave it as .bak . Because Winzip treats files having zip extension differently for some reason, asks for password and so on...

The list files. Try changing the extension to .xml and drop to the Chrome. Maybe it's easier to see the xml tree structure then...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Okay, you can forget that Winzip thing. Thanks anyway...

I figured it out why that Favorites.list_AkiraPerera04.zip didn't extract same way as my package Favorites.list_CXZa.zip (from which I made your package). It seems that the date for the file does matter and there was a typo... so those 7zip programs doing less checks aren't needed...

Favorites.list_AkiraPerera04.zip, start of the file with typo and without it:

50 4B 03 04 14 00 09 08 08 00 C9 8D 96 4A A6 06

50 4B 03 04 14 00 09 08 08 00 C9 8B 96 4A A6 06
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
So what should I be doing?

As for the LIST files, opening them in chrome/notepad is useless. It opens them as code. LIST files like photos and contacts seem like they need to be opened as a software to navigate around in.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
There is some plist viewers or editors, but you're still kind of stuck into that tree view look with them... maybe you could convert them into another format and import into - whatever...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
BTW, those .list files have more than enough data for a known-plain-text attack so I made one more general Wondershare Cracker. The previous were just password testers and guess work helpers. This one uses bkcrack and 7za-keys to accomplish the task....

Cracking will take more than some seconds for sure, but less than a lunch break if lucky. Or unlucky - if having so short break...

Usage: Just drag-and-drop the Wondershare .bak file over the bat and wait for XX minutes max...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
The new cracker version is for others that are maybe having the same problem. The list files are just just good targets for bkcrack as we know some of the data/strings they contain.

What you expect to see when you open those list files? They are just simple lists of data, nothing more. Try some of those plist viewers/editors out there. Maybe you'll find some that is suitable for you needs...

Thank you for the reply. I'm sorry I didn't specify before, but I backed up 3 years ago now and I don't remember what software it was. I've tried WonderShare-Zip-Password-Tester_[cxz].bat last night, but it didn't work. The one you told me to download does nothing. I clicked it and even dragged the .bak onto it but to no avail.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
See the info+links folder. There is link for the latest Visual C++ Redistributable.

Bkcrack needs it --> Install vc_redist.x86.exe .

Does it open with 7zip/Winzip/Winrar ? If so, what files is there? If the root folder has a bunch of *.list files, it might be a Wondershare archive...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBurrow7:
Thanks, I'll try after installing the Visual C++. This is what the file contains.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Yes, that looks like a Wondershare backup file for sure...

Updated the batch file and readme too. Now it says if there is no list files. Also paths with spaces work now. Same download address.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Well, the LIST files are named "photos" "videos" "calendar" "apps" "playlist" etc. I feel as if those files are meant to be opened in some kind of software where I can navigate around in and view the contents.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Yeah, that would be ideal. Or that data could be imported into device - contacts etc...

Using the same Wondershare program, bought, it's probably possible. Depends the device(s) I guess. At least they are plain text so it's possible to get data from them files and reformat it whatever purpose. But it is not so easy task though...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraPerera04:
Damn, pretty crazy that we were in pretty much the same situation haha!

I saw the attachment you uploaded, the files are identical to mine. The viewable stuff is from the sd card. What do u plan on doing about all of those LIST files?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
One option I have mentioned before is to ask WonderShare. There is chat available at their website...

I guess restoring data to similar devices, or what ever they support is possible.

Another option is to change your backup's password for example to their MobileTrans password and try if their test version lets you restore five contacts as it should. And then if it does, purchase it - or what else possibilities there might be...

As you might remember the password for it is: MobileTrans1125

Updated the cracker (using bkcrack) to use the latest bkcrack - again.

As it happens, the bkcrack now supports changing the password.

While at it, I also remade the package removing the 7za etc...

Therefore it's now WonderShare.bak Zip Cracker II (=v.2)
