[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] SidneyD:
Before I get started on messing around with my OP7TProME, I'd like to extract my image files (boot, persist, reserve, recovery, etc.) for backup. I've been doing a lot of reading and it appears that the reserve.img file and the data partition will be wiped if I unlock the bootloader. However unlocking the bootloader is a required step to be able to extract the image files either with payload dumper, with adb shell (as root is required to access those areas of the storage, and I think root requires TWRP+Magisk), or with TWRP terminal (cannot even boot to TWRP without unlocking the BL because "boot is not allowed in Lock State").

Is there a way to extract the phone's image files without actually changing the phone? I need a way to get back to how it is right now in case I make a mistake/something breaks.

What's the model number of your phone? and is it the 5G T-Mobile edition?

Yes, by using the MSM tool when putting the phone in EDL mode. You can find detailed instructions on the first page of most of the custom ROM threads in our subforum.

I don't know exactly how good these forums will be for VM's, so if you know of a better place where I can seek out help, I would be very grateful to know about it.

I am no expert to VM's, but I needed one, and I gave it a shot.

I couldn't find any advanced, in-detail tutorials on this, so my settings are the most reasonable I could find.

Despite it running quite well, it tends to freeze up after a while. This used to happen to my attempt at making an Android VM as well, and I don't know what could be causing it.

I have attached the log for the VM and these are my PC specs and VM settings:

PC:

32 GB RAM | 2 slots

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 CPU

NVidia GeForce RTX 2070

VM

32 MB of video memory

VBoxSVGA graphics controller

no 3D acceleration

4096 MB RAM

2 processors

100% execution cap

Nested VT-x/AMD-V enabled

KVM Paravirtualization Interface

Hardware Virtualization enabled (enabled in BIOS as well)

Those are really all the settings that I see relevant.

Please provide a configuration that could help me if mine has the incorrect settings, or notify me if I'm lacking a setting that is crucial for VM's or something.

If you know of a better place to find answers, again, please let me know.

Thank you all for your help!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] KaosKreationz:
Has anyone else figured out how to get TWRP 3.5.2 on the Pixel 3 XL along with android 10 latest build?

I have successfully done it and I'm going to try the same method for android 11 as well.

If not I am willing to write up an install guide and share the TWRP Recovery for it as well.

i couldn't find any info here other then loads of people saying it does not work yet.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] teknomedic:
I'd like a guide, I'm trying to do exactly that by running through various guides and keep hitting walls that force me to back to reflashing the stock rom to try again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] teknomedic:
sorry, not sure why the quote split to a different reply.

Anyway... what I'm trying to do:

Pixel 3 XL - Stock ROM of Android 10 (latest) Aug 2020

--can fastboot to TWRP

--can seemingly install ElementalX-P3-2.17 kernel (which based on all I've read is required for LZMA & TWRP)

--can install Magisk v23

--Attempting to install TWRP 3.5.2-10-Crosshatch seems to fail with various errors or bootloops wether using "TWRP install zip" or TWRP image.

...about the only thing I haven't tried yet is installing TWRP image to the boot partition, but feel that would cause a brick.

How can i install a cab to multiple phones simultaneously? Perhaps there's a piece of software which uses wifi?

[General Questions and Answers] Sennee:
Hi,

I have Cubot KingKong Mini 2 (Android 10 smartphone) and the new version of the firmware is available on the official website of the manufacturer: https://cubot.net/Support/id/60/cid/16.html#hh

View attachment 5306259

It contains "minor bug fixes". They also gave instructions on how to update firmware: via PC using SP Flash Tool.

Does the "standard" update from Android app settings (System > Advanced > System update) also include the same bug-fixes?

If so, then I guess that I don't have to do anything via PC & SP Flash Tool, I can just update from my phone (from Android system update) and it will include the same fixes, right?

Thanks in advance,

Sennee
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
The .rar Archive on the Official website is a full Read-back/Backup of the Nand (including the Scatter file for the partitions), it is usually used when/if:

The OTA (Over The Air) update through system fails, rendering your device soft bricked (in a Bootloop).

For documentation's sake.

The OTA servers are no longer available. (Update servers cost money to host)

My advice would be to update through system update first, here's why:

The update could be an even newer Security patch/version than the one on the website.

Updating through recovery mode (what an OTA update essentially is) has the added benefit of verifying the Update file for corruption first and will abort if it is found as such.

The Provided SP flash tool ROM is a Factory backup without the imei, sometimes forcing you to re-write it to each individual sim slot manually if you select all partitions for flashing. (a reoccurring trap that beginners fall into)

Only use the SP flash tool method if you're stuck after the system update. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Sennee:
Thanks @Slim K !

I didn't know that on Android "firmware" is basically OS, I thought that they are completely separate things that can be updated in a separate (different) ways. I thought that through "System update" (OTA) you can only update software/OS, not firmware (and that I'll have to update firmware using their instructions (via PC using SP Flash Tool)).

The service center isn't available worldwide, for example, it's not available where I live so that's why most of these people who provide "EDL Auth Services" are popular.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] sofia.arezzini:
Hi, i have a problem similar to the initial post.

I have TWRP and i tried many things, but i need help , please !!

My J330F had a stock ROM, i have done OEM Unlock on Developer Options Menu but i could not root it with KingoRoot.

Then, following Step 2 of: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/#how-to-install-twrp-on-any-android-device

PS C:\AndroidTools\platform-tools> ./adb shell

j3y17lte:/ $ getprop ro.build.ab_update

j3y17lte:/ $

It seems that my device still uses the A-only partition scheme

I have successfully installed TWRP 3.3.1.1 (following https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/#how-to-install-twrp-on-any-android-device ) , but when i tried to create a backup of the stock ROM i got errors, so i have no backup. I have wiped most of the storage and data partition.

From TWRP I have tried to install a custom ROM (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-7-0-sm-...te_fe-exclusive-stable.3795600/#post-76625967), and then the phone goes on a sort of infinite loop where it restarts all the time, only the logo appears. I can stop the infinite loop and go to TWRP hitting (at the right time) : home+power+Vol up.

From TWRP i have also tried to root the phone using SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU and again the phone goes on the same infinite loop.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] edo101:
Hi, I just got a Note 10+ and I haven't transferred over to it yet. I was playing around with it and before I knew it, the Android 11 update was pushed to it and as y'all know it forces it's way in even after you disable it. So far with minimal apps and no sim card, the phone seems fine. There are some missing edge panels I can't access anymore in the galazy store or google play for that matter.

That being said, are people here generally happy about Android 11? What are some well knwon issues?

I have been skeptical about Samsung phones since my Note 8 to Note 9. As they get updates, the phones start running more clunky. Almost like they purposefully want you to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] wgraz:
Android 11 (one UI 3.1) is all I know on this phone. I came from the Note 4 and S5. Just got my Note 10 as well with Android 9 and two days later did a system update to Android 11. For me, it was about 10 updates in a row and 2 or 3 of them were roughly 2GB. I should have done factory reset before doing the updates, but then again, I didn't have the phone that long before doing it. I wish there was a setting for the transparency on the notification pull down, apps drawer, recent apps, etc but's faily tastefully done. They give the option to change the tranpsarncy on the lock screen but not the main screen which is backwards. I don't like the new fat vertical volume sliders. They look nice but harder to use because your finger's in the way. LOL. The horizontal ones were wider than these are tall. Some say Android 11 is slower and harder on the battery. The battery life isn't as good as I hoped.

I don't have issues with Edge Screens missing in the Galaxy Store in Android 11. Never used Google Play for edge screens. but then again, I never used Edge Screens before, so I wouldn't know what was missing.

One thing I noticed right off the bat is the brightness of the Note10 isn't as bright when the brightness slider is set to the same position as my ancient S5. I put the display setting on Vivid and the white balance/gamma is too red. I put the Cool/Warm slider all the way to Cool and it's still a tad Red.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] edo101:
THere was this edge screen app called Edgeboard that used to be available and was available on my Note 9. It's no longer available

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] edo101:
That sounds good but again these updates are forced down your throat. Did you mention a program that can block them?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You need to block the carrier update apk. Conversely if it downloads clearing the system cache (or maybe a factory reset) should clear it if it hasn't flashed yet. Last ditch effort and not a good long term solution.

If you avoid/ turn off wifi to stop the update that won't work forever because the update apk can turn on wifi and any other apks it needs as well as certain towers (AT&T probably other carriers too) are "update" towers that will download the update fast.

I use a package disabler to keep my updater neutered. https://www.packagedisabler.com/

An ADB edit is also another way to get it done on a unrooted stock phone.

Carriers like AT&T can block updates on their end if you pester them enough🤣

Get it done asap whichever solution you choose.

Hey guys,

I have recently bought an iPhone because it's 3G/wifi internet browsing speeds exceed those of a Uni, and of course a data plan of 6 gigs for an extra $30 a month....

My problem is that I'm not all that satisfied with the iPhone, thus I would like to go back to using my Uni on a data plan witch I currently have.

Problem!

I’m with FIDO (Canada) and they are telling me that if I try to use a none FIDO phone I will be charged by kilobyte regardless of my data plan which is essentially unlimited!

I would like to know if this is true? Do they have the ability to find out or distinguish between a none FIDO phone (my beloved Uni) and the iPhone which is a FIDO phone?

Words can’t describe how disappointed I am!!!

You’re help will be greatly appreciated….

[One (M9) Android Development] platinumthis:
Oh, yeah i replaced them. 10 from opengapps not work doe SDK. Nikgapps should work but remember when flash new rom also to flash Nikgapps again , in recovery it will say it will backup and install again but in the end it can lead to bootloop so after a New Build flash Nikgapps again or it will not start. i just looked at Opengapps they dont have 11 there. Or when you want to ungoogel go to /data/app and find vendig or venedig apk and delete it from Recovery in Advanced settings. So it should start without need to flash of Nikgapps

Does not boot for me, even on a clean flash, just reboots with a "TSENS reset" error

Edit : After flashing it like 10 times for whatever reason it booted up just fine, will use it some time and then give you my thoughts

Edit1: After trying to install gapps, the phone crashed on boot with the same error, like 5 reinstalls later, still doesnt work, maybe it could be because my phone is hot, i think TSENS means Temperature SENSor, ill let it cool off a bit.

Edit2: After cooling down the phone shows a different error "KP: EDAC cache: UE instance:cpu7 block L2 'A57 L2 Uncorrectable Error'

Crdroid worked first time here, no issues. I wipe cache, dalvik/art, data and system. Then line up the zips - rom, nikgapps core, magisk.zip and execute.

It booted first time, in less than 5 minutes. I then opened magisk and allowed it to complete and update. Then booted back to recovery and flashed my migrate-gpe zips and rebooted. No issues at all.

Are you wiping caches after install but before boot? If so, don't. Odexed roms (most are now, I believe) won't boot if caches are wiped, I think the rom needs the art cache to be precompiled and this is deleted with a cache wipe.

All I've got I'm afraid!
[One (M9) Android Development] pinckston:
Also, if Lineage 18.1 boots, maybe try flashing CrDroid over Lineage (same base)? And, as a second-to-last resort (last resort is ruu flash) you could try format data in twrp. This is the bottom right button in the wipe menu - it WILL nuke your internal memory so make sure everything is backed up first. Using a pc you may then have to sideload the rom and gapps using adb, so I'd recommend an sd card. I've solved similar issues in this way.
[One (M9) Android Development] tombbb:
Thanks for the useful suggestions ! I will first try flash crDroid on lineage and see if it works.
