[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] elytron01:
Hello guys,

i wanted to use a custom rom, so i unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom (i could access the internal memory from windows while in recovery). Now i wanted to use another rom, so i boot in orange fox, do format data, wipe and reboot to recovery. But now, i cant access the internal storage anymore. Windows explorer shows me the device, but i cant acess it. I have the global version Redmi Note 9 pro. I tried pitch black recovery as well as Mauronofrio's TWRP. I also tried to flash the Stock Rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com with the official mi flash tool and followed this instruction (https://xdaforums.com/t/unable-to-decrypt-fbe-device.4206579/page-3#post-84370443). But then again, i could not access the internal storage from windows and the moved files from step 4 where not there anymore.

When i boot to the original stock rom, run all the setup and stuff and then boot again to recovery, i am able to access the internal storage. but then again, after format data i cant access it anymore and cant copy any custom rom on the phone. What to do?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] kalehrl:
Use adb sideload to install the ROM directly from your PC.

Not all recoveries support it though.

LineageOS recovery does so that's the reason why I use it.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] vlouis:
Just few alternate method without adb/PC:

1. Use an sdcard to store roms, recovery backups...

2. Few days ago forget to copy the rom to sdcard (and already formatted the data), used an otg cable and installed the rom from usb-stick without any problem.

3. Flash the rom from internal storage, format data and boot to system.

Always use latest recovery (now ofox 11.0.1).

Interesting report on Sammobile this morning re: Samsung enabling e-SIM functionality in the One UI 3.1 update - for those that have received the update, is the e-SIM now enabled? If so, for what model and region?

Your Galaxy S20 series phone may have eSIM functionality on One UI 3.x

Samsung has released the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 firmware update for the Galaxy S20 series many weeks ago, and ...

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jtOttawa:
At this point, no one knows - we'll see with the 3.1 update, but it appears unlikely. This is why you should always buy a phone that has the features you want/need, and never in the hope that someday it might.

I am a new Audible customer. I am a Winmo owner (AT&T Tilt). I was disappointed to learn that I could only get crappy Audible Format 3 on my phone. For those that don't know, Audible has 4 formats each of different audio quality, 1 is the lowest, and 4 is the highest. Formats 1-3 are mono only. So imagine my surprise when I fired up my trusty Tilt, connected my Jabbra A2DP dongle, and was warmly greeted by Mono Audible Format 3, for a book that I paid for. According to Audible Windows Mobile devices are only capable of outputting Format 3. That is simply not true, their player may not be able to handle Format 4, but every other player under the sun can. I am under the impression that it is a DRM situation, my position is however, I paid for it, I should be able to use it however I wish. So after some scratching around I found a few sources on how to convert their proprietary Format 4 (.aa) to .MP3. I can do this reliably, and would like to create a guide and post it here. I am asking in advance as I do not want to ruffle any feathers, violate any rules or get anyone in trouble. Would it be OK to post a guide on how to convert .aa to mp3 here at XDA? I can submit a draft prior to posting to stave off any "wtf did we just let him do" moments if need be.

Thanks and feel free to delete this post if you need to, and or notify me to proceed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] P1Tater:
Will bring up to everyone. Please hold on until you hear back from me or some other MOD.

Thank you for understanding:)

EDIT:

I will lock the thread for now to keep from getting unnecessary clutter.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] P1Tater:
OK here's the deal.

As long as aa files are not posted that need to be paid for or allowing others to skirt around the rules by not paying for them, then all is OK. In other words, just the method in which the conversion is accomplished is allowed. No posting of files that have not been paid for or posting how to download them without paying for them. Simply just the method of converting them from aa to mp3 format.

Thanks for asking and sharing.:)

PS

Feel free to PM me if you need anything.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itrooper:
Thanks for the update, I can share how to do it without posting files or links, you have to have an audible account to use this method and own the material in the first place.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] avrockz11:
The issue is WiFi connection speed drops, sometimes refuses to connect when using a bluetooth headphone. There are some reports in the web saying that it is some software issue...I started using custom roms thinking that they might have fixed that... But it persists.

Is there any fix for this issue.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Vyto-Khron:
It has always been like that... on all phones. Both technologies use the same frequency (2.4 Ghz) causing interference. Software can help but won't elimate the problem completely.

You can try switching to 5 Ghz band if your router supports it.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] avrockz11:
Is there anything that we can do from the software side to alleviate this problem. In Redmi note 8, this problem is very much distinct than in other phones which i have used
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Vyto-Khron:
You are also more likely to have issues if your phone and headphones are on 2 different versions of Bluetooth. The RN8 uses the older v4 Bluetooth.

I don't know any software tweak that can be applied on the phone directly.

Try the router trick I mentioned above. It's the only easy workaround I know of.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] JDGAMERYT:
¿Cómo cambio la banda a 5ghz para resolver este problema?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] avrockz11:
It must be done through your router settings if the router supports 5Ghz band

Hey guys, I am trying to pull data from my HTC 10 via adb. I accidently dunked my phone in water and now my screen is black but still responsive. Phone has usb-debugging enabled but not rooted. I have a second HTC 10 which I am using for reference and a test run. When I boot into recovery, adb devices shows that the device is in sideload mode. What should I do now?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
If the data of interest are stored in Android's user-space ( i.e. /storage/emulated/0 AKA /sdcard ) then you at any time can try to pull them by means of ADB

Example code what pulls entire /sdcard folder

mkdir C:\Data-Pulled
adb devices
adb pull /storage/emulated/0 C:\Data-Pulled
[General Questions and Answers] RogueDragon117:
But I can't pull from sideload mode
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Confused.

You boot into ADB Sideload mode only if you want to re-flash phone's Stock ROM. To pull data you have to boot phone in ADB Normal mode, means into phone's Android OS.
[General Questions and Answers] RogueDragon117:
The problem is that my phone is password protected. Normally when I connect my phone there is a prompt to confirm usb-debugging. I can't press yes to that prompt because I can't see it. I tried booting to recovery mode but all I could get was sideload mode. I could also load something through sd card, maybe a command somehow?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
IMO the problem isn't that your phone is password protected, but that you obviously aren't knowing that on Android side ADB gets loaded/started via phone's bootloader ( keyword: init.rc -> service adbd ).

" I am trying to pull data from my HTC 10 via adb. I accidently dunked my phone in water and now my screen is black but still responsive."

I almost choked reading this ahaha is there a water bucket waiting around :ROFLMAO: also how did you know its still responsive if screen is black :unsure: also you provably need a screen repair at this point
[General Questions and Answers] Mobilelearner:
You can download platform tool on computer. Open shell, use command adb backup all and also use adb pull to copy partition directory.
[General Questions and Answers] RogueDragon117:
There was a water bucket around. I know the screen is responsive because when I press I can hear sounds coming from the device.
[General Questions and Answers] RogueDragon117:
Hey guys, so after letting my phone sit in the sun for two days, the screen is now functioning. I am now trying to backup adb, but it always stops around the 5GB mark.

The command I used on cmd is : adb backup -apk -all.

Did I do something wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] RogueDragon117:
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying, I am very new to this and don't understand a lot of things.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
IMO a complete phone backup via ADB is invoked by

adb backup "-apk -obb -shared -all -system -f C:\phone-backup.ab"

but I may err, as always ...
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 9635294:
why not adb pull data
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
IMO the far better method because "adb backup" creates a file what is compressed and encrypted, whereas "adb pull" simply creates a file that contains the at 100% readable content of pulled data.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 9635294:
is internal storage inside data
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 9635294:
how encrypted
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
@jjgvv

The Android Backup (*.ab) file is a compressed TAR. It is compressed using the DEFLATE algorithm. On top of that, there can be AES encryption used. This is determined when you create the backup: if you enter a password then the backup is encrypted, otherwise; there is no encryption, it is only compressed.
[General Questions and Answers] RogueDragon117:
And will there be an indicator of whether the backup is complete?
[General Questions and Answers] :
IDK. Have never used "adb backup".

BTW: If "adb backup" tries to backup things like /system it will fail for sure on an unrooted device.
[General Questions and Answers] RogueDragon117:
But can I do a full system backup with "adb pull"? Including text messages and chat app data (like messenger and wechat)?
[General Questions and Answers] :
The "adb pull" method can work for non-rooted as well as rooted Android devices. If the Android is already rooted, then you can also access the /system partition. BTW: All user-data by default are stored in /data partition.

OK - I'm sure this might not be a popular thread, but a little help is why this forum exists - I hope?

I currently have a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, and I'm looking to upgrade to a phone that has AT LEAST the same level of waterproofing, and a significant improvement in memory & processing power.

I'm also looking for something smaller than a 6" screen (preferably smaller than 5.5")

I'd like to have an SDcard slot, but don't need a 2nd Sim.

I'd like a phone that's going to have at least one OS upgrade (preferably to 12 when it arrives), does that still happen*?

I'd prefer not to have a Samsung, the cleanest Android OS possible would be preferable.

I am leaning towards a 'rugged' phone because I am a klutz and don't like using a case if possible.

* I haven't paid attention to the smartphone markets for a few years - the choice now is massive and overwhelming, and none of the specification comparison sites seem to have 'all' the available phones, often they're limited to Samsung/Apple/Xiomi and not much more (unless of course I simply can't find the one comparison site that truly has them all)
[General Topics] Slim K:
Since I live in europe, my personal fav is this website. Even if you don't live in EU, that site has an astonishingly good filter for products (they list the products even if no seller is available with all possible variants/last known price).

If you go to the mobile section and use the filter, you would need to apply a special features filter (namely the waterproof [submerged] IP65/IP68) filter. Adding the fact that you want a phone under 5.7" display size, I have found 370 phones ranging from 2011-2021 regardless of their OS or SoC (they have windows phones listed as well :LOL:).

You have a selection of 370 phones with your only limit being the price and the android 12 condition, both of which depend on you.

A reminder: Newer phones released in 2020 and up (shipped with android 10 or higher to be eligible for 12) are almost always 6" or bigger, phones such as pixel or OnePlus do come in smaller sizes, but they shy away from 3.5mmjack/sdcard and aren't as rugged. Maybe look into a phone with good android 11 custom ROM support in XDA forums. My personal fav device in your requirements would be a pixel 4a/5a if you're willing to forgo the sdcard/rugged part.
