[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] wikaash:
Hi everyone.

I have a Nokia 6 (TA-1021) which is bricked. When I turn on the phone it does not get any further then the Android logo.

If I try to enter the recovery mode, I get 'no command' and or 'Failed to mount cache' etc.

The recovery menu does not comes up.

If i try to flash the firmware trough download mode, I am getting a bootloader error.

I think that my bootloader is locked. I never unlocked it.

Can someone please help me, because I can't do anything with the phone anymore.

Maybe I can try it with a "unlock.bin" or "unlock.key" file and my IMEI and S/N and your help please.

I still have the box of this phone.

I've spent a lot of time searching for a solution and trying a lot of things, but nothing helps.

I also tried to order a key at Techmesto, but I am waiting for 2 weeks already and still no reply on my order.

I don't know what else to do.

My WiFi shuts off every time my screen blanks out. I can see this being good if I were on battery, but personally only use WiFi when plugged into A/C. Is there a registry edit that'll change this 'feature' and leave WiFi running?! Thanks!
[Touch Cruise General] Snapphane:
Yeah, that fix would be nice!

I noticed that Skype by-passes idle-mode in it's software and that's one way to fix it. To bad that not all apps do that...
[Touch Cruise General] gastonfama:
If you use it only when charging, you can configure your cruise to stay on when the device is charging.

Mi cruise is in Spanish, so i will translate the options as i think it must be in english.

Go to START, CONFIGURATION, SISTEM, ENERGIE, ADVANCED

And there you can configure the options to turn off the device when is on battery and when it is charging.

Hope it will be usefull.
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
That was an answer to a different question, perhaps someone will find your tip useful. Thanks though.

The question is how to stop WiFi from shutting off when the screen blacks out, whether or not it's plugged into AC.
[Touch Cruise General] 02xda2:
Hi, Benjimen, did you check Schap's Advanced Config 3.2.0.0, there are some settings for Wifi. I haven't tweaked/tested any of them since I don't use much of Wifi. Hope it may help you.
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
Thanks -- I've read about that, but haven't tried it. Was really hoping someone knew the registry tweak to accomplish it, looks like I'm out of luck though :(

It sounds like you're 'guessing' it might be a feature? Does anyone who has tried the program actually know and care to post factual info? I took a look at the info for the software, and it does't appear to be one of the tweaks, at least not in the example screens.
[Touch Cruise General] gastonfama:
I have the Schap's Advanced Config 3.1.0.0 installed and i cant find enything about that, only to shutdown the wifi if there is no activity....

I alsa didnt know that there was a 3.2.0.0 version, will try to check that out later.

Chears.

PS: sorry benjimen if my previous post didnt help...:(
[Touch Cruise General] gastonfama:
i have downloaded the 3.2.0.0 and i also could not find anything there that could solve your problem.

[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
the problem is when one click the power button one dont

turn off the screen

one suspend the device power most systems down

you can get programs which just turn off the screen

which would leave the wifi on

but the device run out of batt pretty fast if it's

not suspented

[Touch Cruise General] Snapphane:
benjimen, as was given as a tip changing the time-out is a working temporary solution.

I did something similar with a software that allowed me to make "user profiles". The "work" profile had a longer time-out just to keep my wi-fi active :)

Thank you 02xda2, I found a tweak in the thread you linked to, the registry entries did the trick! Here they are for anyone who might be interested:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Ddevinatea:
Hi all,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE G781B/DS that I bought unlocked on ebay. It's a great device, I come from a Xiaomi Mi 10 that was great but MIUI 12 was a desaster and it was not dual sim... the thing is that I need dual SIM for T Mobile in the US and Claro in Peru.

I live in Peru and Claro has the bands 2, 7 and 28.. the first two are very slow and the band 28 is pretty fast with 80mbps average of download.

The problem is that this phone almost ALWAYS chooses the bands 2 and 7, I installed LTE discovery app and I can see that the band 28 is near but it does not connect to it.

What can I do? I also detected that with T Mobile in Miami, the phone selected towers and bands that made the internet very slow.

When I compare the connection with mi M10 and my father's S20 FE Exynos that also support the 28 band, they do connect to it, in the same place at the same time.

Is the phone defective?

Please advise,

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] vp1117:
Device: 360 N6 Lite by QIKU, Snapdragon 630

Device is running stock ROM based on android 8.1, no mods, no tweaks, just a stock android. I've never ever messed with any system files/partitions.

Stock ROM was re-flashed a few days ago after this thread was posted - to satisfy request of some person who thought I had ROM tampered with.

I can re-flash ROM as many times as would be needed, upon request if anybody is really keen to help.

Addtional info about my device:

1. fastboot has limited functionality: it cannot flash any partiton. Therefore, if I have to flash certain partition, like booot/recovery/system I only can do it with QFIL flashing software.

2. I can patch stock boot.img by Magisk alright. However, after I flash patched boot phone goes to Red State (or bootloop if phone is connected to PC), so Magisk is not an option here. Or I'm just so stupid I do not see how to benefit from Magisk. Log of Magisk patching the stock boot is attached here.

I thought I might have a chance with superSU though.

3. bootloader is unlocked if I can trust the info below:

(bootloader) unlocked:yes

(bootloader) off-mode-charge:0

(bootloader) charger-screen-enabled:0

(bootloader) battery-soc-ok:yes

(bootloader) battery-voltage:3975

(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0x5EBBFBE00

(bootloader) partition-type:system:ext4

(bootloader) partition-size:system: 0xE0000000

(bootloader) secure:yes

(bootloader) serialno:********

(bootloader) max-download-size:536870912

(bootloader) kernel:uefi

(bootloader) Verity mode: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

Phone is apparently not rooted as shown on attached pics. However, when I run <adb shell> command, it appears as if there is a root already installed as I see # prompt, not $.

This phone really makes me crazy. I cannot flash custom recovery, I cannot flash any partition using fastboot, I cannot flash any zip-package and I cannot figure out how to properly install SU-binary.

Any help is much appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
In the thread linked to above one can see BusyBox is installed on phone. BusyBox by default comes with the SU-binary. Check this.

[General Questions and Answers] vp1117:
Regarding AVB: the goal is to deactivate AVB 1.0 in order to be able to flash custom recovery (TWRP).

In Magisk log it is said 'Boot image is signed with AVB 1.0'

As mentioned here: AVB 1.0 there is no VBMETA partitions on devices with AVB 1.0. This is almost correct statement re my device. To be more precise: there is such a partition, list of partitions is attached. But VBMETA is filled with all zeroes. File mmcblk0p57 (dd-ed from device) is also attached, it consists of zeroes

Also, VBMETA partition is not supposed to be flashed when flashing stock ROM. Here's what is there in rawprogram0.xml:

<program SECTOR_SIZE_IN_BYTES="512" file_sector_offset="0" filename="" label="vbmeta" ...
<program SECTOR_SIZE_IN_BYTES="512" file_sector_offset="0" filename="" label="vbmetabak" ...

So, I conclude it should be useless for me to try anything like:

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

Question is: is there any way how to deactivate AVB 1.0 so that I could flash boot.img patched by Magisk? Image of stock boot is attached herewith.

Or, almost the same question: what needs to be done with stock boot in order for my device does not reject custom recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] Bondyuk:
Does your QFil tool allow you to add additional options when flashing an image?

I know you don't believe that your phone uses vbmeta, but we can't rule it out unless you can flash it properly.

I still find it really hard to believe that they removed the ability to flash from fastboot. It makes me think it is more likely that the syntax of the command is different. That's just my gut feeling and of course I may be wrong.

Do you know if your device uses A/B partitioning?

What happens if you use TWRP and try:

fastboot boot recovery.img
[General Questions and Answers] vp1117:
QFIL - Qualcomm Flash Image Loader. It can flash any partition I want to but it does not support command line parameters: it is ran as a separate program, not from command line if it is what you mean.

Well, as I mentioned: VBMETA is filled with all zeroes. Do you think all zeroes can effectively prevent me from using customized images?

It certainly does not.

I cannot use TWRP because TWRP is a customized (changed) recovery. My ugly device does NOT allow using amended partition. It relates to both boot and recovery.

What do you really want to have: SuperSU or SU ( read: Switch User )? SuperSU is a Superuser access management tool ( authored by Chainfire ), whereas SU is a binary ( ported from Linux distros ) that allows to perform actions on Android with Superuser privileges similar to the Administrator privileges on Windows OS.

Because I cannot use any custom recoveries.

All I can do with Magisk is to patch stock boo.img and try to flash it to the phone. Just to get Red State as a result.

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
@vp1117

The screenshot shows that Android Terminal app is launched as normal user, not as superuser as former screenshots provided here by you show it.

I have come to the conclusion that your phone is no longer in its state of delivery, as initially claimed by you: there are simply too many things that do not fit together.

Hence my recommendation: Do a Factory Reset, then re-flash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all mods you applied so far, wipe phone's Cache partition, and afterwards restart your attempts to root it from the scratch - of course having the appropriate knowledge how to do it.

My last 2 cents here:

To re-flash phone's Stock ROM you use YGDP tool

DL: https://droidfilehost.com/download/download-ygdp-tool-version/
[General Questions and Answers] vp1117:
Have done it.

For ROM re-flashing I used QIKU vendor's utility, not YGDP. Screenhots of re-flashing are attached.

Next, the only thing I did was to install Material Terminal and Root Explorer applications.

View attachment 5313535
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Once you run "adb shell" and you get greeted with a # prompt then you can perform commands in "adb shell" without having to run su. BTW: This is because of in your phone's Android properties ro.secure by default is set to 0.

Be happy!

You can try to add the su applet ( what is missing in your pre-installed no-root version of BusyBox ) to Android at your own - what requires both the phone's bootloader got unlocked and the Android's SELinux got disabled before:

adb devices
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/local/tmp"
adb push <location-of-su-applet-on-pc-here> /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su
chown root:root /data/local/tmp/su
chcon /data/local/tmp/su u:object_r:su_exec:s0
mount -t auto -o rw,remount /system
mv -f /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin/su
mount -t auto -o ro,remount /system
exit
adb reboot

The matching su applet you fetch from SuperSU.zip.
[General Questions and Answers] vp1117:
Thank you for guiding me.

There is a lot of information in your last post that I have to digest and understand being at zero-knowledge level.

Let me start with this:

ro.secure - is it defined in default.prop stored in boot.img?

View attachment 5314357View attachment 5314359
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
@vp1117

It's the file build.prop located in /system directory what is the file of interest, not the "default.prop" file.

Build.prop contains all those final settings / commands that make an Android device run smoothly.

I'm pretty sure build.prop on your phone contains the lines

ro.secure=0

ro.debuggable=1

persist.service.adb.enable=1

FYI: If ro.secure=0 then adbd runs as root.

BTW:

I no longer participate this thread: It just doesn't make sense to me anymore.
