is this build oss based or miui ?

I am already on oss based rom.. what procedure should i follow to install?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] trunkenstein:
Miui based.

Just a quick write up how to clean flash POSP with NikGapps, Magisk and MIUI Vendor:

1. Wipe Vendor

2. Flash Vendor (https://downloads.akhilnarang.dev/M...al-V12.0.3.0.QFKMIXM-10.0-vendor-firmware.zip)

3. Reboot Recovery

4. Flash Rom

(4b. flash NikGapps)[While choosing via nikgapps.conf, using the Omni packet, if you want to automatically get your apps back trough the play store, Pixelize needs to be enabled]

(4c. flash Magisk)

5. Format Data

6. Boot to rom

Instructions are tested and working

I had some problems with ota updates and gapps, addon.d version should be 3 as far as the support chat of posp goes, I hadn't had the time to test it

Have fun!

Hello,

I work in the environment that needs to encrypt any SD cards, which inserts into the SD slot. I would like to know how to make the encryption setting in the setting to be ON all the time by default. And I do not want the user has the choice of changing the encryption setting.

Also, is there any software out there that prevents the user to install or mess around with the device default setting ? I know that the Tweaks2k2 offering the Device Admin password. But that does not work with WM6.

Please let me know, are there any software for the Pocket PC, offering the Admin Password ?

Thank you very much, any helps would be greatly appreciated.

Problem: Unable to install TWRP via ODIN. I try to flash the device with the twrp-3.1.1-0-picassowifi.img.tar using ODIN, I get the following errors during the boot recovery step Home+VolUP+Power:

Could not do normal boot.

ODIN Mode

Product name: SM-T525

Current binary: Custom

System status: Custom

Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0

Knox warranty VOID: 0x1

Qualcomm Secureboot: Enabled (CSB)

AP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1

Write protection: Enable

UDC Start

I am able to reinstall KitKat back to its original state using ODIN each time which helps alot.

The tablet was in the following state prior to the TWRP installation:

I did a factory reset back to original Kitkat version 4.4.2

Samsung account: No

Google account: Yes

Installation Preparation Steps

Downloaded following files:

LineageOS 14.1,

open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20201223

ODIN v3.14.4

Samsung USB Drivers v1.7.31.0

Auto-Root-picassolte-picassoltexx-smt525

twrp-3.1.1-0-picassowifi.img.tar

Installation Steps:

Tested if recovery mode is working prior to installing twrp: Done Successful

Installed USB drivers on your PC

USB Debugging was enabled on device by pressing build number 7 times in settings

Developer options: Activated USB Debugging

Disabled bootloader: not done (not sure how to do it and if it is required)

Rooted device via ODIN: Done successfully (Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time flags checked)

Disabled KNOX via SuperSU

Tested if recovery mode is still working after root: Done Successful

Installed TWRP image via ODIN: Status PASS (Auto Reboot flag unchecked, F. Reset Time flag checked)

Booted into TWRP Recovery using HOME+ Vol UP + Power button

The last step is where the error occurs and TWRP recovery mode did not start.

I tried multiple versions of TWRP, but all attempts failed.

I installed TWRP via play store on the tablet and selected the .img file for my device via the TWRP tool. Although the tool was able to flash the device (stated that the flash was successful within the tool), when I try to enter device recovery mode, I get the same error: Could not do normal boot.

Any idea what could be wrong? Am I missing a step, permission issue?

I would appreciate any hint

thx

Isn't the T525 the picassolte?

Seems to me you're using the wrong TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Sal60:
There are 2 types of T525, wifi and lte. I have the wifi version.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] bmwdroid:
Well, if you say so.

But I think you're wrong.

wifi=t520 lte=t525

And why did you use Auto-root for lte?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Sal60:
Thanks for the help. Before I reached out to you, I tried my best to gather all the info to upgrade to LineageOS. Rooting the device was one of the steps. I got the file for t525. I did not think about wifi or LTE. I see now that it makes a big difference.....thx. I'm rather new to the rooting and upgrading a device approach.

Strange, I doubled checked the package. It doesn't say anywhere about LTE - only wifi. But I checked the imei on imei.info and noticed that it is a LTE model. I bought the tab in 2014 and I guess I bought the lte model. This explains alot.

I will try the lte version of twrp.

thx again
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Sal60:
I tried the lte version of twrp and I was able to enter into recovery mode. Thanks for the excellent tip.

I guess I need to do more homework on twrp and the whole process. I also got lucky on using the right root file. Because I almost made a huge mistake with rooting, I think I need to take a step back and do more research. I want to make sure that I have a complete image of my tablet just in case I take a wrong turn. I believe twrp is the right tool to do that. Any suggestions on the steps which I need to do?

Initially when I first started to gather all the info and dowloaded the files, I also downloaded lineage-14.1-20201218-UNOFFICIAL-n2awifi.zip. It appears that this file is also for the wifi model. Is there a difference between wifi and lte for lineageos 14.1?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] bmwdroid:
@Sal60 so we finally figured out what you really got 👍.

The saving process is very easy in TWRP just use backup option and save EFS, Boot, System and Data.

Although the last three can easily be restored by flashing stock ROM via Odin.

DON'T flash any ROM which is not specifically designed for your model as danger of bricking will be increased by doing so.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Sal60:
Awsome, I backed up everything. I will need to do more research on the right ROM. Using the wifi version I downloaded of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 is probably not the best way to go.

I see that LineageOS.org does not support my tab as of now and CyanogenMod no longer exist. Do you know of any other projects which might support my tablet?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] bmwdroid:
@Sal60 as I don't own any T52* I've no idea what's going on in ROM development.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Sal60:
@bmwdroid: thanks for the link. I will review the url. I completely understand the risk part. I rarely use my very expensive tab anymore because it is so old and more or less useless. Most apps do not work anymore. Samsung stopped updating the tab shortly after it was released.

Sorry about not hitting the like button.

I will update the post with the results after I do some research on the file.

Thanks.

@Sal60 I condemn Samsung for their update strategy as well.

That's why I will never ever again by a new device from them.

All my stuff is older than four years and on custom ROMs either on Nougat or even Q.

It is easily possible, stop spreading BS

It cannot be done using fastboot but it is certainly possible using the Realtek VCOM USB protocol

https://xdaforums.com/t/rooting-moto-g8-power-lite.4145473/

This video sums it up well

Essentially you need to:

1. download MTKCLIENT from github, works best on Linux IMHO but Windows works too - on Windows you need additional USB drivers and MTK Drivers, which i attached. Use PIP to install the requirements by going into the MTKCLIENT directory and typing into CMD/Terminal: python3 pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Copy the G8 power Lite specific script to the root folder of the MTKCLIENT

3. Open up the phone, remove the plastic covering the cameras and motherboard. Unplug the battery. Short these two pins either by soldering them together or just using something metal - this is only necessary during the flash and then should be removed.

View attachment 5889467

4. Plug in usb cable to the phone but dont connect it to the pc yet. Start the program either by CD-ing to the MTKCLIENT directory and running it via CLI (on Linux: python3 mtk w proinfo,seccfg proinfo.bin,seccfg.bin, (only use this in case you wiped the bootloader in order to reflash it, the actual unlocking is done by using this generic command: python mtk da seccfg unlock) or doubleclicking the desbloq_bootloader.bat on Windows (which again contains the first command, which should only be used if the bootloader is corrupted or so,

unlock using second command from termina

l) . Then short the two pins, keep them shorted and connect the USB cable to the PC. You should see a bunch of code scroling, it will automatically close/end.

5. Unplug USB, remove short circuit from two pins, plug in battery, turn on phone, you should see lines of text during the boot like this:

View attachment 5889471

Bootloader unlocked. Now the only use is ROOT, no custom ROMs or Recoveries available as its vastly different from normal G8 power, which has a Snapdragon CPU and totally different screen.

You'll also get a big "CARRIER INVALID" message on the home screen. I tried relocking the bootloader to fix it, but that put the phone into red state and I had to reflash the bootloader using the above mentioned command. On another note, when I trial and error-ed the unlocking process, I first used the bootloader reflash command (which effectively invalidated it) so that may be the sole cause of the invalid message and not the unlocking itself (as the message appeared after reflashing and before unlocking). If anyone tries this, just use python mtk da seccfg unlock and report back.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
please can you kindly elaborate how you got proinfo.bin and seccfg.bin in the first place? also do you know if it uses any of the payload.bin files which are included with the mtkclient program?
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] FakedKetchup:
I have no idea where the files are from, I found them on the net but you know, it works so who cares

These files should work for some models of the Lite G8 as there are the UK models and a few more with the same name. I'm from Slovakia so these didn't work for me, but a generic MTK command python mtk da seccfg unlock did it just fine and I checked it's in fact unlocked by typing fasboot getvar all, and also the fact that on every boot there is a visible text saying that the bootloader is unlocked. It also shows that in developer options.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
do you mean the file you attached bootloader_g8powerlite.zip , you dont know where desbloq_bootloader.bat, proinfo.bin , seccfg.bin are from? because they are not mentioned on https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
also how is the scatter file used ? i see you attached it but no mention on how its used
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] FakedKetchup:
1. as i said i dont know, i found the files in the video description

2. scatter file is a useful file for flashing stuff like bootloaders though SP-Flash-Tools. I ripped it from the stock rom which i also just downloaded from the internet. I haven't tried flashing anything yet but it seems the scayyer file (and thus the MTK chip) deosnt allow flashing a nev recovery/bootloader/rom anything really. Need to check again later and play with it a bit more
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
please can you post which error message you get? in theory you should be able to flash anything after the bootloader is unlocked, unless there is some secure boot or verity which is still enabled, which would need to be toggled off. i think you may have the wrong scatter file in that case
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] FakedKetchup:
Yes i think there is another video on his channel showing that before flashing you need to once again short the 2 pins and execute another program, then flash using SP Tools. There is no error, but when i load up the scatter file, it shows bunch of partitions, none of which are named boot/recovery/bootloader etc. so i don't know if its actually possible. Also I recommend doing all this on Linux, much less hassle, but you will need to compile libpng-12 in order for SP Tools to work. On Ubuntu there should be a binary package in the repos but i used Debian and the package is not supported since release 16.04 so...

View attachment 5891625

according to his channel, you can root it. He uses something called Avenger Box which i assume is some flahing hardware, but we can use SP Flash tools just fine

First, backup NVRAM using SP flash tools in the Readback section

View attachment 5891651

Click ADD NEW and save it to a location on your PC

Then open up your scatter file and look for partition called NVRAM, see the lines "LINEAR START ADRESS", as well as PARTITION SIZE, enter these values to the readback popup menu as such:

(the values on the picture are not real)

View attachment 5891667

Press OK, plug in your device with the shorted pins, press Readback ICON and see if its successful. I am not sure if disabling the protection is needed for readback, will attempt tomorrow.

Tutorial video or a generic guide

Then you can take advice from this video although he isn't using SP Tools so its not a step by step kind of thing. Also for some reason he refuses to share the unlock protection scripts as he is "running a business" by rooting these phones, what a clown , ill try to DM him and see if he shares it or whatever. Ill try to find a way to root it via SP but its a hit or miss.

Edit: Found the script on this exact website:

It's now easy to bypass MediaTek's SP Flash Tool authentication

A group of developers has created a Python utility to bypass the authentication routine of MediaTek SP Flash Tool. Check it out now!

www.xda-developers.com

So on some phones you hold downa volume button to flash but in our case we most likely need to short the 2 pins again
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
in regards to not seeing the recovery partition etc on sp flash tool, its because the scatter file you have used doesnt contain those partitions. I can help you do a full readback of the rom via sp flash tool and create a proper scatter file for your device, because that one you used is most likely incomplete or for another device.

also you lost me at the part regarding libpng-12 , thats only used to render png files . you can come on libera.chat irc and i have created a channel called #motog8powerlite if you need help as its easier to communicate on there
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
please can you elaborate why you're using exploits_collection-master as before you mentioned you were using mtkclient-main? also do you know why a patched kernel is required on linux?
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] FakedKetchup:
Not sure but without them it throws out errors, I looked up the error and found a GitHub page which was referenced to the mtkclient - it essentially needs a default config and I supplied that, the file contains configurations for many APUs which are listed in the readme file

Patched kernel I assume is necessary for the bootrom exploit, again if you took few minutes to check the links I mentioned it's all there on GitHub. The kernel needs a way to communicate with the MTK protocol, on Windows there is the VCOM Driver and LIBUSB wizard, on Linux you need to apply the driver to the kernel manually or download a prepatched one.

Hope I proved my point that it's indeed possible to root it and unlock the bootloader, it took me dozens of hours so least you could do is go ahead and edit all the messages where you confidently said it isn't and link this forum there.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
libpng-12 is a dependency of the program, probably for the Welcome tab which is made out of pictures instead of a mark language elements...

you can use wwr to make a scatter file, they work with all 67XX SoC's, and you can also use it to do a full dump of the stock ROM. tried and tested. also any GSI ROM above android 9 should work on it without any hardware issues
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] FakedKetchup:
do you also have this phone ? Could you make a blankflash for me using SP ? In the readback section you'd need to read ack every partition (their adresses are in the scatter file)

I accidentally flashed the whole flash and i cannot even flash anything now, it keeps bootlooping.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
please can you elaborate blank flash? do you mean a full backup/dump of the ROM?

also you are never meant to flash the whole rom, especially on these A/B devices where you dont make the true scatter file which includes the boot and recovery partitions. Before i meddle with any device i make sure i got the full back up of the ROM and the correct scatter file, i also recommended the tools you should use in order to do this.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Isaac™:
I wanted to unlock the moto e7 power but the mtk commands do not work the process says it completes but when it starts it does not unlock...

finally for those who have an error when recording the rom in the sp flash tools due to protection, use the LMSA and download your rom, do the recovery process and meanwhile go to the LMSA downloads folder and copy the motorola flash tools to your files and bingo you have the DA agent which can be used to burn any device version without errors.
