I believe Google started requiring phone numbers to prevent people (and bots) from creating new Gmail accounts for spam purposes or other means apart from using it personally. You could try following the methods discussed in this article. Cannot guarantee it will work though.

Or even, if anyone can confirm I'm able to immediately delete my number after sign up, without them saying I'm not allowed because I don't have any other legit numbers I'm replacing it with as they don't accept textnow etc. I don't want to end up providing it and then they won't let me delete it. I really like Google products overall, but this is a bit much for stopping bots. Why not ask for those verification picture things, or something?

It coonected with adb drivers and when i've launch root application I've got such screen:

View attachment 5242421

How can I root this nook?

Thank you
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
Starting at the bottom screen:

I don't know which script (batch file) this "rootnook" is.

Apparently it is too picky about the version of adbd on your Glow2.

You can try to delete the line that causes it to stop.

The "find" and "findstr" appear to say "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I don't know if your Windows doesn't have them or if they are named something else.

You can check by just typing:

C:\>find /?
C:\>findstr /?

The top screen we don't even know what command/script you tried.

It looks like you tried something and used the word "files" instead of an actual path.

The error looks like something out of the Glow2 shell

# busybox stat files
stat: can't stat 'files': No such file or directory

If instead of taking a graphic screen shot you should copy and paste the text and put it inside [code] & [/code]

so that those of us who don't speak Russian can more easily translate it.

How did I get that to work?

5. VolUp for confirming OEM unlocking and the Android will be powered off again

6. Hold VolUp + VolDown

And you need an update to date version of twrp to flash apk.

Seriously, just use patched image method.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] drjat:
I am due to receive my OP7T in a couple of days and already started reading. I assume oos 10.0.16HD65BA is the latest A10 for 7T.

My goal is to get latest stable Android 10 build for my 1903 EU variant OP7T - Unlock Bootloader, Root with Magisk and then Install No Limits xXx Magisk ROM.

Will appreciate some feedback how to proceed please.

From the post above - it seems that the steps are - Unlock Bootloader, Boot (not flash) TWRP.img , adb push Magisk zip , flash Magisk zip in the loaded twrp and then boot to system.

My doubts -

I have been using adb and drivers for my OP5 - will that old adb and drivers work with OP7T?

Which TWRP.img is recommended

Which version of Magisk.zip can I flash (would v22 be OK?)

Can Magisk be updated via Magisk manager at a later stage?

I assume the system will revert to stock recovery (as TWRP was only loaded, not flashed) - will this cause loss of root?

Have I missed out any crucial points / steps?

Thanks

[Off-topic] Dynastone:
I have a Vanku 10.1" head unit.

Not sure whether or not to keep it or not as it has lots of problems.

The unit is supposed to be a split screen but no matter what I try it will not split the screen.

The DAB is very poor and keeps screeching and skwarking at me whilst driving. I have tried a dual amplified roof aerial but it still is poor.

The screen is washed out when using google maps and looks like the contrast is down but the brightness is too high. Yet when I use the apps built in the settings look ok?

Paid around £250 for for it but have tried other makes including Dasaita & Eonon up to £400 and found them no better.

Do you have to pay upwards of £800 to get better or is Android on Head units poor at the moment?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] aabov1:
Hello, I have a problem with a friend's Redmi Note6pro.

The phone suddenly restarted, and since then it turns on, redmi logo for 3 / 4sec and then turns off.

Same thing if I try to go into recovery with vol +, while I can go into fastboot with vol-.

It is FUNDAMENTAL first of all, even more important to reset the phone, save the data inside it (photos, videos and whatsapp chat), the app settings do not interest me.

I did some tests with adb to see if I could access the data (I'm pretty sure, having done the configuration of the cell to my friend when she got it new, that I have activated the usb debugging), but since the phone goes only in fastboot I was unable to access the data saved inside (the command adb device gives no result).

I found a guide to flash a rom with Miflash without deleting the data, but the guide talks about unlocked bootloader, which has never been done on this phone.

Now, since I am not interested in loading a mod rom but I would reload the official rom, is it possible to do all the procedure described WITHOUT unlocked bootloader?

I'm only interested in accessing the cell to save the data, after doing that I can also reset the phone, so I don't necessarily need a 100% "working" rom.

And above all, do I have the ABSOLUTE certainty of saving the data inside the phone (rather than risk losing the data, I will return the cell to the owner and see her)?

Thanks for who will answer

Not to mention you would need OEM's to cooperate....
[General Topics] al_l_en:
Thanks @karandpr for that github comment a lot of info there. Thanks @galaxys too. So a quick summary would be that the reason is that for the bootloader to work smoothly there has to be support from the kernel too, which the OEMs should do and probably would not. But I didn't think about the support in the kernel was an issue. That does seem to be a lot of work and I see the reason now.
[General Topics] karandpr:
I don't think Google intends to open up android anymore. They want restrictions like iOS but pretend to be open source for the "goodwill". What's the use of AOSP if you cant effectively install it on a device or your important apps don't work?

I believe PinePhones are the ones that can have truly open-source compatible hardware. The specs are underwhelming but the community is really good.

You can get spares easily and the battery is removable.

Only thing is they are mostly out of stock.
[General Topics] al_l_en:
Yeah those are great but the problem is that they are not usable for "normies" which will prevent mass adoption and hence cannot have a sustainable business model.

But I think google is not the only one to blame, like couldn't the OEMs actually provide bootloaders that can boot signed os images. Or is there any technical or security difficuties in doing that.
[General Topics] karandpr:
Normies are afraid to change the default browser, so bootloader is really out of their leagues.

Phone tinkering is a hobby, not a necessity. Phone tinkering itself is not a sustainable model.

Google is to blame primarily. Because they have a stringent list of requirements for devices to pass CTS. You can read the bootloader requirement and judge yourself.

Android 11 Compatibility Definition | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

Without passing CTS, devices cannot use Google apps, they cannot get push notifications and they cannot pass SafetyNet checks used by most banking apps.

At the end of the day do I want to spend 100s of hours to bring a feature to an android phone which will probably be used by 10 users and deprecated by the time I finish doing it?

or do I want to buy a phone which will allow me to tinker freely in a community and ecosystem which allows modification?

For our tinkering pleasures, Pinephone is the way to go for now. They have support from Manjaro, Debian and KDE. Which is a big thing IMO.

Or else there you can roll your thing in RaspberryPi?
[General Topics] al_l_en:
While going through related details I found an article about google probably switching to hardware based safetynet checks which could be ending google play compatibility on custom roms.

It really seems like google is using security as an excuse to make sure that there are no competitors in their business space.

Maybe this is because I have been only doing web development and only started learning app dev, but the reasons google use for CTS like for enforcing DRM, is also handled on websites while allowing openness and being neutral (or maybe the web is not as secure as something like this, so forgive me if I am wrong). Android could really take pages off the web ecosystem for being a neutral platform.

I really appreciate the patience for hearing out and also the references(and the rabbit holes that it was followed by) really taught me a lot about general android architecture. 😊
