[Hardware Hacking General] tsteeples:
I'm more of a software guy, but looking to get more into hardware hacking. In particular, I'm interested in dumping firmware off embedded devices. As such, I'm looking for a device that will do this for me. A lot of the advice online seems quite dated, so just wanted to check if there was any update in thinking in 2021.

Here are the criteria I'm looking for in a device:

- Supports SPI - I2C, UART, JTAG are a bonus;

- Supported by flashrom - supported by OpenOCD is a bonus;

- Doesn't require messing around with hardware too much - a USB interface would be preferred;

- Actively developed - preferably open source;

- European shipping is a bonus.

The options I've come across so far are:

- Bus Pirate: v3 still actively developed, but apparently not great for JTAG stuff. v4 is being developed but apparently the hardware is still experimental;

- Shikra: looks neat, but community seems far smaller, and much less well documented;

- Attify Badge: I really don't know anything about this - any good reviews?;

- Raspberry Pi: I have a bunch of Raspberry Pis lying around, but I'd prefer something that I can just plug into my laptop/desktop. Using a Pi feels like overkill here;

- FTDI FT2232H/FT232H: I understand a lot of SPI programmers are built on top of this chip, but I feel the low level dev boards for this are a bit too low level for me - looking for a higher level of abstraction;

- CH341A SPI Programmer: people seem to have a lot of success with this, but looks a bit "cheap" to me.

Does anyone have any strong recommendations for any of these solutions over the others? Is there anything else I've missed?

Thank you in advance - any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

still thinking about getting a mate xs. When seeing the mi mix alpha (which is "all round display") I could see that on the "edges" of the phone there are things like notifications and stuff.

Is this feature available on the mate xs as well? When its being with the left side facing to me its a display which would be great to see notification

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] medmansri:
I'm ready to Flash my 750 for T-Mo usa but I've read a lot of different opinions here. I'd rather not flash and reflash a million times to get it right. If anyone has played around with these roms and radios, which one would you recommend for T-Mo usa? (would rather avoid AT&T stuff)

So far I gather:

ROM: Not sure which one, lite or full, cooked or not

Radio: 1.54.30.10 (even though some say it's for AT&T)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] medmansri:
C'mon guys, someone make a suggestion... I'm sure others can benefit from this as well.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] libal:
I can not recommend the radio

but I tried both - the lite and the normal versions, and the normal is better and stable.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] medmansri:
ok thanks. What about the radio? which is better?

Hi,

working my way to de-google my life I am happy user of ASOP for years and now I decided to go one step forward and got myself a NAS.

looking for google photos alternative I found PhotoSync. Looks like a usefull app but it is paid via google store. I do not mind paying for it - I just do not want to have use google at all.

I wrote to the support asking if there is an alternative way to pay for the license but I am not hoping for positive answer - but let's see.

So I am looking for alternatives to this app google photos in general - auto backup, sync, photo/video viewer connected to my NAS, also similar app for win/ubuntu would be nice to get full experience.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CarworldHQ:
I would be grateful if somebody could assist me. I have had this phone for quite a few years until it stopped working. I discovered it had a faulty motherboard and replaced it with a second hand one from my phone I had with a smashed screen. The next problem I had was getting around the Google lock FRP which after much reading I managed to do.

My last and only hurdle left is to try and unlock the SIM. No matter what configuration or combinations I try I always fall at this point. I have tried changing modems, firmware etc to no avail.

I have read similar posts but none of these have given me a solution so any help will be grateful thank you.

I have SM-G9880 S20 UltrA 5G Hong-Kong, and its firmwares bit number is 3 for Android 11 OneUI 3.1.

I want to downgrade to Oneui 2.5, but its firmwares bit numbers is less then 3 for all firmware versions.

Ive read that i cant do downgrade to firmware whose bit number is less then existing.

Is that means that for my model there is no possibility to downgrade from OneUI 3.1 to OneUI 2.5?

Even for OneUI 3.0 the bit number is 2, wich means that Samsung upped the bit number to 3 in OneUI 3.1 thus closing possibility to downgrade even to OneUI 3.0.

What can i do with this situation?

I did install TWRP on my other device, A8 2018 and i had no problem, even installed custom rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Tab E:
Just reboot to download mode like this

When your phone is in twrp press volume up, down, power

Connect the USB Cable to PC

Press and hold Volume Up and Down keys while pressing these keys, connect the phone to USB Cable

Release all key when you see ODIN Mode / Download Mode and flash the stock firmware. If not possible try this.

Is your phone recognized by your computer? If yes try installing adb drivers when it goes to recovery mode. Even though the twrp is glitching, the computer should recognize it as adb device. If yes, just do adb reboot download and flash stock rom

I've had my Tilt for a few days now. So far I think it's great! I have my Yahoo email synced to my phone using Xpress Mail. It syncs fine but with my iPhone whenever I would open an email on my pc, it would be marked as read on my phone and vice versa.

Is Xpress Mail capable of doing this and it's just not working?

It's a pain when I'm home and receive and open 20 emails on my pc then have to turn around and re open the same 20 emails from my phone. Yes, I could just delete them on my phone but would like to keep them on my phone as well.

I've done some searching and found a lot of other email programs such as Seven, etc. but not sure if those other programs can do what I need it to do.

The problem is, inside the zip there is no boot.img, and the lineage site list only that zip and the recovery.img

How can I access the boot.img?
[General Questions and Answers] User699:
The zip actually contains the boot.img but its packed into payload.bin.

You can extract it though using

python3 ./payload_dumper.py ./payload.bin

after you downloaded the payload_dumper.py file.

I'll see if I can find it, else you have to search for it yourself.

EDIT: I couldn't find the version I have on my computer unfortunately but you could search for payload_dumper.py. You'll find some on github.

Android OTA payload dumper. Contribute to vm03/payload_dumper development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

It isn't the script I have, but it should be very similar.

EDIT: I found it.

See this link: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-extract-payload-bin-from-ota.3830962/

You can download it from the second step @und3fined described.
