[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ChrisH78:
For some reason my Pixel 4XL got stuck on the "G" screen. I realize this means I'm probably going to have to reset my phone, but I really need to recover the photos and videos that are on it. I know, I know, I need to back-up regularly. But I didn't, and now my kid has no digital memories of his pet that died last weekend. I followed some instructions posted by "Techno Bill" a few years ago to sideload an OTA image onto the phone, and everything went very smoothly, but when I re-booted the phone, it is still stuck on the G screen. The first time I got a "No error" error (...?),so I checked for a more recent version of the image and found one. Tried that one twice, seemed like it worked both times, but both times I was still stuck on the G screen. I'm wondering if its because I already had *210305.006* on my phone, which is the one I'm trying to sideload. Any ideas?

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
Are you rooted? Did you ever enable usb debugging in developer settings?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ChrisH78:
I'm not, I haven't rooted a phone since my first gen Galaxy, haha. The only things I've done so far are in this instruction (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz6x7k-VkpUJMlZ1aEliVnhMOHM/view). Installed ADB, Fastboot, and necessary drivers. Downloaded an OTA file from developers.google.com, and installed it using the "Apply Update from ADB" option in the recovery menu. My biggest concern is the data. If I can get those photos and videos off I'm perfectly happy nuking the install afterwards and going back to stock. Would rooting it wipe the data?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
Yes, you have to unlock the bootloader and that wipes the data. Your phone would have to be able to boot up for that to happen. Just wondering if you flashed something that didn't agree with your phone. Without usb debugging enabled, I don't know a way to pull anything off.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
At this point you may be lucky to recover your phone at all. It would be helpful to know how you got to this point. You started with the "rescue ota" method which is the last ditch effort for most to reflash a phone with a locked bootloader. Knowing what happened beforehand would be useful information. Since you have flashed the full OTA numerous times via ADB, the only thing left is a factory data reset. At some point you will have to abandon the data and move to the next step in recovering your phone. Even if you never intend to root your phone, you should ALWAYS unlock the bootloader so when the **** hits the fan you have more options to save your data. Wishing you a successful recovery. (y)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ChrisH78:
Thanks for the reply. I basically got here because every Google post I saw said that I was screwed and would be lucky to save my phone, forget about the data. Except for one, and that one told me to go this route. In the future I'll absolutely unlock my bootloader, but just for my own edification, where would have been a good first place to start with a locked bootloader?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ChrisH78:
Would the mount /system option be of any use to me?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
You would use fastboot to dirty flash a full image, removing the wipe flag (-w) from the flash-all script beforehand. This wipes and replaces the boot partition but leaves your data intact.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
No. Even unlocked and rooted we cannot write to the system partition anymore. Any luck on getting your phone working again?

[Samsung Galaxy S21+] fenvy:
hi, like title suggested

I have the g9960

like for the last 2 year's instruction:

dl from samfirm or your fav firmware place

extract said bootimg.lz, tar it, magisk patch it (I tried canary and v22)

unlock bootloader

odin load bl, ap, cp, csc for csc

phone will boot at this phase still

reboot

odin again but load ap only with patched magisk

this is when phone will no longer boot, odin load bl, ap, cp, home for csc is still the same

have to odin load bl, ap, cp, csc for csc to wipe clean to boot. this happens on both canary and v22. I went back to read the instruction and I don't think I missed anything.

any idea on what I might have done wrong?

[Samsung Galaxy S21+] fenvy:
I thought that's the issue, weird how s20 this isn't a problem

I did load bl, patched tar for ap, cp, home for csc but problem persist

I read from another thread it's possible it needs a factor reset:

[link removed per request]

after factory reset it have resolve the problem, I wonder if factory reset is necessary when updating future firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] alecxs:
please delete this link the one who copy & pasted content does not have any clue about. samsung devices don't have fastboot and these instructions are for other devices. samsung has it's own section, refer to official installation instructions

edit:

your question is answered exactly one line above
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] alecxs:
i wonder how this could worked for s20 as i thought magisk patches several partitions (that's why one need to patch whole AP).

encryption plays another important role here, for the initial rooting factory reset is required because samsung encryption is a bit special. you should be able to run encrypted, but TWRP doesn't support samsung encryption

ianmacd provides multidisabler to remove encryption (and other stuff)

edit: magisk 22 is different from 21, no more magisk manager (you might have already noticed, didn't knew that)

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] fenvy:
I wondered that too. I re-read the instruction and noticed the [populate all fields] instruction is clearly stated.

The result from both populate odin all field vs just AP was the same for me on the s21. Neither would fully boot into OS. What resolved the issue is factory reset (also part of the instruction). I suspect it might have worked with just the AP but I have no reason to challenge proper/correct instruction.

on this s21 I don't have multidisabler installed yet, so that might not have been a factor.

I had followed the ambiguous instruction from thread 4067649, step 9 (no direct link so someone else won't follow the same instruction)

I just tried again on the s20 last night for AP for the patched bootimg and it boots right up.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
It's most likely because either you or an application has enabled the network folder. See here:

How to?

So how do i disable it then? sorry but im a noob so please bare with :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Ok, as I can't remember if you can enable/disable the network folder in the File Explorer (already installed on your device). I suggest you download Total Commander:

arm/xscale/pxa

This downloads a cab file that you move directly to your SD card and then on the phone tap the file to install it to your storage card (with me so far?)

Once you get it installed let us know and someone will tell you how to disable the network folder using Total Commander.

By the way Total Commander is a very nice application that has many uses as I'm sure you will learn if you hang around XDA-Dev for a while.

i need to do pentesting for developer, but all my decompiling tools failed to show proper code, take a look at my issue on github, what issue i'm facing :

Is there option in some others java bytecode decompilers which can decompile and desugar lambda, so it displays proper code. I wasn't been able to do pentest because of this, i can't read code, not even try to exploit it at all.

The Java bytecode decompiler in IntelliJ IDEA is a built-in tool that allows you to read compiled bytecode as if it were human-readable Java code.

just checked (IntelliJ IDEA), and tried, still no luck, as i know it uses Fernlower, which i already tried. (i have problems, with improper decopmilaton/desugaring java bytecode, and it throws multiple .class files with $$Lambda$ extention)

and this is my first time to see this retrolambda, for which i never heard before.

i wish i could decompile it manually, but i can't as before 2 days i didn't knew what is retrolambda, let alone manually decompile it.

resources, how i can manually decompile and understand retrolambda, are welcome, i will check in their git repository if i can find anything, some instrutions.

Hey all, so I'm desperate for some help, i was stupid enough to unlock my bootloader for my begonia redmi N8P (Miui 12.0.4.0_QGGEUXM), it went successful until I tried to install TWRP, I flashed TWRP.img and ever since I've been bootlooping, I searched the net everywhere to try and resolve this, flashed the same rom with MiFlash and it's either saying mismatched image/ device or fails on something else.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtdshare:
Hi everybody,

I managed to successfully port and build Maru OS for our Xiaomi Mi 8 based on Android 10 Lineage OS sources.

Everything is working perfectly and performance is really good in desktop mode.

Currently the only issue is that selinux is set to permissive and needs to be fixed for production ready builds.

Basically its an Android build with a LXC debian container built in. As soon as you activate screen sharing or hook up a DisplayLink dock, it starts the desktop environment onto the second screen. It's using a graphical bridge between Debian container and Android system which writes data directly to SurfaceFlinger. This makes the desktop experience extremely good and fluent (not comparable to VNC for example).

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtdshare:
Great to hear that someone else also likes the idea of using the phone as desktop device.

Yes, I can do that. But first I need to prepare the Github repository as the source code needs to be fully published before releasing a ROM I think. Currently everything is setup locally for development and testing.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisgrns:
That 's great! Which adaptor are you using? Is there anyone with usb hub and charging simultaneously?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtdshare:
Since this phone doesn't support native HDMI output, you need to use a DisplayLink docking station which requires the DisplayLink application installed on the device. I'm using the HP USB-C Universal Dock (hsa-b005ds). If I remember correctly charging and using my mouse and keyboard simultaneously connected via USB worked without any problems.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mi_guel:
But you can use a chromecast, right?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtdshare:
Yes, you can use the Android in built screen sharing capability. But probably there will be some small delays due to network latency.

Just to be clear; you managed to use the displaylink dock as "secondary monitor", or did you just run the LXC container fullscreen with your display mirrored via displaylink?

I've been looking for a while to get displaylink to act as a secondary monitor rather than (half-assed) mirror my phone to my monitor. It would be really awesome to run (even the build-in android desktop) on a device with a displaylink dock attached.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtdshare:
Exactly, the LXC container is running on the external monitor via DisplayLink. At the same time you can use the Android system on the phone screen as usual.

[Android Auto General] RKCRLR:
I currently use Screen2Auto and while it is working overall I'm still having issues.

I'm not a developer or anything, just an end user.

I'm curious why no one has come up with an alternative to Android Auto. I.e., an app that will run on an unrooted phone, make the car's headunit think it is interfacing with Android Auto, and allow you to mirror any app that is on your phone.

Are unrooted phones just too locked down to operate an app like this?

Is there a special key or something that the car's headunit requires for communication?

Is it just too onerous of a job to make an app like this?

Just curious. Seems like there would be quite a demand for an app like this.
[Android Auto General] DevAuto:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitspice.automate ... this was an awesome attempt to do exactly what you are looking for. It was intended to be an AA replacement, and I was an early adopter/beta tester. The biggest problem was they were never able to find a way to get it to the head unit *legitimately*.The next biggest problem was that everytime they came up with something better than AA, Google would make changes and break it. Several times functionality would have to be changed / removed because of changes to Google's Terms of Service.

Ultimately it becomes a battle between Google's unlimited (seemingly) resources and the developer writing the app.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Stingray66:
I have problems with my Bluetooth and the paired device in the car with almost every recent ROM.

After about 10 minutes driving with a connected phone, the Bluetooth shuts down on my Diamond. When I go to Settings -> ... > Bluetooth -> Mode -> Turn on Bluetooth is unchecked. If I check it again it connects again with the phone and about 10 minutes later it's off again.

I went back to the RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.93.479.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe. It's against my feelings, believe, etc. but I want to solve it .....

I installed Advanced Configuration Tool (3.0), went to Bluetooth -> Audio gateway power save and Disabled it. I did it because I was reading about suspended devices and power save features. I thought that the loss of Bluetooth is been caused by a saving power feature.

After a soft reset, the Bluetooth stays connected.

It's a start, but I'm not happy with it ... I would like to use cooked ROM's and optimal settings in the ROM.

There are other tweaks too in Bluetooth, for example the supported bitpool, etc. Perhaps those settings cause the shutdown of a connected Bluetooth device instaed of the power save feature.

Has anyone this kind of problems too with paired Bluetooth devices?

If so, would you like to help me to find the cause?

If not, can you describe what device you use (Jabra, TomTom, car radio, etc.), which ROM, which radio and extra tweaks?

I do have the same problem. I am using my Diamond with my Opel Astra (Vauxhall) and a CD70 radio with built in handsfree (Opel UHP). It disconnects after 10 minutes and after calls. Everything else works fine. Changing rom and radios has not helped so far. If I don't close the comm manager it stays connected but disconnects after a call because the comm manager is closed with the end of the call. Is there a way to force the comm manager not to close?
