NOTE: SAFETYNET CHECK DOES NOT PASS, WE'LL NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT.

I'm glad to see that there is finally a root solution for this device. I have 2 Onn 8 first gen, Android 9 tablets and I use the Magisk module: Universal SafetyNet Fix to

pass.

https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-module-universal-safetynet-fix-1-1-0.4217823/

Let us all know if this works. I work in a Walmart electronics department and have not bought one of the 2nd gen devices because I had assumed that it could not be rooted. I am temped just for a new challenge, even though I really don't need a new device.

Have you been able to create a backup of the stock rom? Is it flashed with spflashtool like the older device?

Thanks
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] LaikaXv1:
I'll get the ROM backup uploaded to Google drive once I'm done updating windows.. it's taking forever, but I do have the dumps. Yes, spflashtool is what you'll need to flash the stock backup.

As for the magisk module, that seems to do the trick! Magist safetynet check reports a success for both basicIntegrity and ctsProfile.

Thanks for the tip!

It sounds like maybe you did not unlock the bootloader first?

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] inzane105:
I have a 100011886 that I got used and has FRP lock, will this process work on it as well? Only rooted Fire tablets before, so this would be new to me and if I brick it not much will be lost. But any insight as to what I will need that isn't included in your post would be great! It seems pretty thorough though.

Edit: I've tried it, and I have done pretty much everything thanks to being able to get to the browser with one of those language keyboard tricks, but I can't enable dev mode and turn on OEM unlock so I can't unlock the bootloader. Really want to know what to do so I don't have a paper weight :( At least it was only $30
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] bowb:
I'm stuck in a boot loop. Does this work with a 100011885 that has Android 11 or did I just brick it cause I didn't pay attention.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] bowb:
I think I have extracted the boot.img using spflashtool on the 100011885 with Android 11. abootimg seems to like it and I can extract the kernel and initrd.img I have tried booting with fastboot boot but it blackscreens the tablet. I have not tried re-flashing this image as I don't know if it will actually work.

start location and size

0x00000000085c0000

I followed this guide for a ONN 100003561 (didn't look closely at the numbers) and this is what I get when trying to flash the vbmeta:

Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0

Sending 'vbmeta' (11520 KB) OKAY [ 0.287s]

Writing 'vbmeta' FAILED (remote: 'size too large')

I tried using a different vbmeta and when I restarted my tablet and got blank black screen. Tried twrp and now I can't get anything to work. Never tried rooting an Android device before, just trying to get all the annoying stuff off and now it looks like I bricked it.

Any advice from anyone?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jryx:
Unfortunately, the numbers are important. Are you able to get to fastbootd? If you can get to fastbootd, I would recommend trying to change to boot slot. Newer androids actually have two boot partitions for updating purposes. You can check which boot partition you're using with `fastboot getvar current-slot` which should return "a" or "b". Then do `fastboot set-active x` and replace x with whichever slot is NOT active as determined by the previous command. If the other boot slot is still intact, this would hopefully result in a bootable device. I haven't tried this myself, but this is what I would try if I were in your situation.

If this doesn't work, I would try flashing stock with sp flash tool, which doesn't need fastboot if you can't access that. It's a leaked mediatek tool, so there isn't an official site to get it from unfortunately. I got it from here: https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool but use your discretion. And get v5, because that's what most of the guides use. Then you can try flashing the 3561 stock firmware here: https://xdaforums.com/t/stock-stock-backups-images-otas.3998227/post-82619259

If you can get it to boot at this point and want to de-walmart it, I would recommend just flashing a GSI rather than messing around with the stock rom. You can find the GSI's here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

Lol, remember those copy-pasted guides where they provide the wrong TWRP images and it messes up the device
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
So the 8" Onn actually has a boot-ramdisk it appears. On the 7" Onn Surf (100005206), there is no boot-ramdisk, so the alternative is patching a recovery.img and allowing Magisk to hijack the /recovery partition. The only drawback is, anytime you need to reboot, using hardware keys as though booting into recovery is necessary.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Deleted member 11818907:
I'm in a similar situation, my friend got an RCA Atlas 10 Pro-S from Goodwill for $1. It had an FRP lock on it though, and we ultimately managed to get to the home screen by enabling TalkBack and watching the support video to open the browser. Then, we installed Lawnchair to access the home screen. The settings app worked, but Developer Options would not open.

GetDroidTips has published a software called Miracle Box, claiming that it can unlock MediaTek bootloaders, as well as bypass FRP. However, a VirusTotal scan indicates that it is likely malware. I tried running it in a virtual machine and it asked if I wanted to run a process impersonating "svchost.exe" as Administrator. I airgapped the virtual machine, and Miracle Box said it needed Internet access for licensing, however GetDroidTips said it was free. I suspect that this was a fake software crack.

I am aware of a program called SP Flash Tool, but that won't work because I am on Linux, and not Windows. I doubt it would work under WINE, as it requires special device-specific drivers that also only work on Windows. I have a spare Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ACL, however I don't have the drivers needed to set up Windows 7 on it. I could, of course, use Windows 10, but I have heard it is bad for flashing, and it is very slow anyway. (I did, however, buy an SSD for it, perhaps this will speed it up enough to be somewhat usable?)

I also found an open-source MediaTek exploit script called MTKTools. It did not work, and it told me to hold all hardware buttons before plugging the device in. It still did not detect the tablet. It told me that I could also short TP1 to ground, however I could not find Test Point 1 on the tablet's motherboard.

There are no custom recoveries or FRP unlocking guides for this device, likely because it's an obscure Android 7.1 tablet from back in 2014. I wouldnt be able to flash them anyway as the bootloader is locked. It has 2 GB of RAM and the processor cores are Cortex-A35s so I'm not sure that this is worth unlocking. On the other hand, it costs over $100 from Walmart.

I am worried that the device was stolen, as it had a password, and once I reset it from Recovery mode, it had an FRP lock. If it is indeed stolen, I can't return it, due to the "as is" nature of Goodwill, and besides, I have disassembled it several times as well. Should I be concerned about the ethical implications of unlocking this device?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] KazuyaMain:
Does this work on Android 11? I have the Onn. 100011885 model, according to my settings app.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] KazuyaMain:
Also, it seems TWRP doesn't have support for my tablet
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] inthemguts:
It was a dollar... if you're really worried, just donate it to goodwill
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Mayday_Channel:
grab the original factory rom dump from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/stock-stock-backups-images-otas.3998227/

take the vbmeta file from it, and try this:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

worst case scenario, you will need to use SP flash tools to reflash the entire device
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Mayday_Channel:
in theory, you should be able to format the entire flash with sp tools, that could remove frp lock. FRP is stored in a partition, which is flashable with sp tools. maybe try to find a blank state frp file to flash that partition
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] :
It does for the previous generation of Onn tablets.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] :
I think you could just fill a file with zeros and flash it it the FRP partition while it's in Preloader mode. (using SP Flash Tool)

[Introductions] iXaidyiu:
Hello there! General Kenobi

I am iXaidyiu. I have been a member of the XDA forum for 6 years now, I have actually heard of the forum even longer until I have taken action, keep calm and mod my Xperia Go. Not long after I have started modding, rooting my Go its USB port started to malfunction and I have to get a new phone, which lands me on the Xperia Z and subsequently the Xperia Z2. During the time of using my Xperia Z's, it was the best phone I've ever had. both in real life and on this forum. It's the time I have really stepped up in the community in providing tips and tricks on modding, battery saving or even seldom known actions with the community. Even to this date half a decade later since I first started using the phone, I would still actively reach out to look for any problems I can solve in the sub-forum and even the XDA as a whole. However, as phone's security has strengthened drastically in the past few years and Google and OEMs started really cramping much of the features I want, like power-saving stuff, into the OS, the need, and frankly also the ability or the push, to mod my phone become less and less. With the introduction of SafetyNet and banking apps started to follow, it has dealt a great blow to my modding interest and I have since retreated much of my interest in looking for ways to mod as most of my previous doings require me to break the Net which I don't feel safe in doing so.

Now although I have not been participating as much when compared to the previous years, I am still keen on resolving others, especially new-comers, on their queries about using their phone, tips and tricks, though not in the too technical genres.

All in all, it's a pleasure that I have made the right choice in 2012 to go for the Xperia Mini Pro instead of the iPhone whatever and that's had led me to this place whereas I can share with others just how much our phone potentials are and what a community XDA has been, to share the love of modding and making the most out of our phones!

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] einleger:
Hello,

I've tried to explore for an answer if there would be some kind of front-end or user interface or expansion for app permissions, for non-root phones. I'm still using a non-root Oneplus One with Cyanogen OS that has a Privacy Guard, with the normal Android permissions.

I've been looking for a second hand OP5T from my friend. It is like new and I believe it might serve me many years to come, just like Oneplus One did.

I do understand that without root access the control of permissions are a bit limited but that's quite ok. I wouldn't want to unlock bootloader or install TWRP. I wouldn't want to install custom rom either. Much because I'm not tech savvy. I am not too familiar with ADB either, but I have used it to grant some access to certain apps on my Oneplus One by following instructions and have been succesfull. So I guess that one doesn't scare me too much.

I understand if someone wants to reply and ask how something similar to Privacy Guard helps me over the normal Android app permissions. I do know that Privacy Guard is not perfect. I'm coming from Cyanogen OS 13.1.2 (Android 6.0.1) and maybe I simply don't know about if it's even benefical to use something extra.

So... Are there any options?

Hi,

Phone; SM-AF520F

My phone has been restarting on its own from the past month and I ignored it. It showed me occasionally Google services failed or system UI is not responding.

I factory resetted the phone as any noob would do and the restart occurrence went to only at night, which I was unbothered with. A little time passed and the phone went to the downloading sky blue screen.

I'm aware with flashing roms and stuff but I never really tried it. I tried everything;

i) Used Odin, three different versions

ii) Used Stock firmware, three different versions

iii) Used Smart switch

The phone only went in download phase and than in the phase where you press home button, volume and power and it shows fonts in the left hand corner. Odin always giving me errors, sometimes stucking on setting up connection.

Two errors:

i) There is no PIT partition

ii) Write operation failed

There are always these things happening.

When I restarted with volume down and power key, the system showed, there was an error and try smart switch, updated my drivers but when I go in the settings to emergency recover my phone, it does not show my phone.

After restarting the phone couple of time, Im in downloading mode again, in between the screen also turns full sky blue with no text.

I tried installing custom recovery but the image didn't load, ( I dont know what i am doing at this point, even if this was a good idea).

I have scavanged every forum, every post, everything on the internet but I just can't seem to fix it, I tried every possible thing and it just dosent work. I know it can be fixed but I don't know how. I know I'm doing something stupidly wrong but I can't seem to figure it out.

This is an old phone, I'm going to buy another one soon but I just hope it works for another week? Can I wipe the whole system and start from scratch (Which i dont know how to do).

Any type of help would be greatly appreciated, or just tell me to give up hope on it so I can just throw it away and move on.

1-Install 7zip application in windows

Then using 7zip, try to open file (in stock ROM files) -⇾ "CSC_ODD_***"

2-There is your phone pit file for a520f.

Extract that file and keep it between your stock Rom files.

3-Download the Odin from this link and open it:

https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.4.zip

4-Go to download mode (blue screen) in your phone!

Add 4 part of your ROM to Odin.

Then in pit tab of Odin add your phone pit file!

5-In option tab of Odin toggle Re-Partition option.

6-click on start and wait until it shows a green icon and phone restarting!

It must be fixed!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] OrianPledge:
Thank you for your response.

I did what you exactly said, previously it failed at the instant, now it moved one tab and than failed.

I tried the provided Odin, than tried two roms with, with the pit filed extracted and enabled re partition.

The error occurred: Complete(write) operation failed.

The error occurred every time I tried to flash, it never worked.

Do you think there is anything else to do?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] matkali:
Try this way to go download mode:

Then instantly press vol-up + Home + Power to going to download mode!

If it not works for you! You can use (eMMC programmer or easy JTAG) to writing rom on your phone memory (Last Option)!

It took 7 minutes to turn it on, than It said, there was an authorized user who tried to access your phone, use your previous email password to access your phone. I put it on my previous details and the works okay after some updates.

I wonder what he did? And i never knew android has a feature where if somone tries to reset your phone, google account locks it? Wow.

Is flashing a custom os a good idea? I'm afraid I'll brick it or something or just keep running one ui and wait for it to die again.
