Even after 5 days of trying I didn't manage to spoof an Android app. My configuration is: Lenovo Vibe P1 (P1a42_288_160721_ROW) + ROOT + TWRP + XPOSED. The thing is that android APP somehow tracks me and I get ban immediately. In Terms & Conditions is stated, that this app tracks: device and device identification number, device IMEI country IP address browser type and version operating system Internet service providers advertising identifier of your device visitor identifier I tried following modules but with no success: Device ID Masker, Android Device Info Viever & Changer, Hijack Suite, Phone ID Changer, Serial Number Changer, ID Changer Exposed, Exchange User Agent Faker. Donkey Gunard didn't work on my Lenovo nor on Xiaomi because of Force Close.

As for me, the best is Device ID Masker because it changes almost everything (I have a PRO edition) and it was updated few months ago. But even using this nice module wasn't enough to solve my problem. The APP somehow tracks me and I get ban everytime I try to sign up.

every time I use a new phone number which is 100% unused in that app

every time I change my IP

every time I change Google Advertisement ID manually and all available values in Device ID Masker

every time I clean Data and Cache and after that I restart my phone

every time I spoof all values for all available apps, even system

The only thing I'm not able to change is Android Version/Release, because I get a bootloop if I try to to that. I discovered that the APP does't work properly without Google Services, so I guess that it tracks me somehow through Google Sercices.

Do you have any advices or hints what I shold do in order to make the APP unable to track me?

Thank you in advance ǃ

Phones and other electronics have many IDs, some websites and apps have more advanced user tracking. They can use a combination of information from hardware, behavior, networking information and the smallest of details to make each user a one in a billion or as unique enough to flag and track. This information can be used aginst the users, sold, and carry other privacy concerns. Your best bet is to make your information as generic as possible and to change as many IDs as possible. Trial and error, Its not easy beating big budget company stalkers.

More about ids

Is it possible to block a phone from my app? Do phones have some ID that can be accessed?

Hello I ask this question because I have an app where people will have to post very serious stuff and if a user posts something that is not right, then I want to ban that person forever but how can I

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ShlokBharadwaj:
Hello All, I am certainly new to this beautiful world of Custom ROM. I have PE+ with latest July build on top of PE recovery and I wanna shift to ArrowOS. What are steps for that? If anyone can guide me then it would mean the world to me.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] badday0401:
I assumed that you can replace PE Recovery by TWRP Recovery,then boot to TWRP Recovery,decrypted(add pin code),make sure TWRP can access internal storage.

Copy Arrow.zip to Internal.Flash by chosing it,after finishing,Format Data(necessary),reboot.Done.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] canvas 1:
As it stands, I have flashed PE based on A12. Means I can not access internal storage. What are my other options? Sideload may be?
[General Questions and Answers] mottaM:
Actually I bricked my device and I was trying to flash the stock ROM again using SP Flash tool. Unfortunately while flashing it shows sec_aut_mismatch ( or something like this) for the file called cust.img in the stock rom and says please disable verified boot. What I did now is "why don't I try letting it go?" I unchecked it. I flashed rom without this file. it got flashed, works fine everything except SIM Cards. The phone detects sim cards but no signal. SIm cards are fine Physically. Do you believe that this not flashing cust.img could be a cause?

MAIN THING: Flashed Stock Rom without CUST.IMG

Secondly I tried to flash the cust.img using fastboot now, but still no luck. I don't know what this file does. PLEASE HELP ME. I AM IN TROUBLE
[General Questions and Answers] dedq:
That's most likely an EFS problem. Do you have some backup?
[General Questions and Answers] mottaM:
I have a little backup taken through twrp. But it has only some files starting with boot, bootloader and recovery. Total 9 files. Can you explain more about EFS please?
[General Questions and Answers] mottaM:
A thing I forgot is that cust.img flash is successful in fastboot mode
[General Questions and Answers] dedq:
EFS is something responsible for your IMEI which is connected to the signal and SIM.

You cannot have phone signal if you don't have IMEI number which you could have lost. Can you check if you have IMEI? If not, the problem is probably in modem and I would be happy if you had backed that up.
[General Questions and Answers] mottaM:
I don't see any IMEI numbers. A little research tells me that I must have nvdata.bin and nvram.img in the backup. If this is correct then I don't have such a backup. Is there any way to fix it up without backup?
[General Questions and Answers] mottaM:
One more thing I notice is that when I enter Recovery mode, It says "nvdata corrupt" in red. More information you may want to know is:

My device is redmi 6a

Wifi works fine

Baseband version present

When I insert sim cards, it detects them(icons get updated on the notification area) it also says getting sim info.

When I enter phone information, it says signal strength in those numbers when sim is inserted

I believe that hardware is fine thus. I really regret my step of trying to change OS. I just want to get sim working somehow
[General Questions and Answers] dedq:
I have never had that kind of problem and only had problems with EFS.

I think flashing stock ROM would fix your problem. I don't know what else could be.
[General Questions and Answers] :
You should know that EFS ( NVRAM ) is a partition on your Android device that stores all the important data associated with your phone. For instance, these data include the IMEI number, Mac address of Wireless devices, important files of internet and product code, etc. Moreover, this data is so important that without this, you would not be able to use your Android phone. And it is very important to keep this partition safe and backed up in case things go south.

My guess is because you were flashing custom ROMs and/or modded apps that you have lost this important EFS ( NVRAM ) partition on the device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keleko:
This problem started yesterday.

All of a sudden i cannot access my settings at all.

I need to to a hard reset but when i go to the start menu and click settings, nothing.

i've tried leaving the battery out but i don't know how long the back up battery lasts.

Is there any other way to do a hard reset?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
this is a developers page, so dont be so lazy and read you manual how to do a hardreset !!! you dont need settings for making a hardreset. oh god !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keleko:
I'm sorry i didn't know there was one.

I was only asking for help, chill out man.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MFx:
first what kind of phone do you have? second...if you know the type do a search on google on that type include hard reset in the search text...there will be probably more than enough hits...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JstarLuvsTina:
its late..and metal's a cranky kind of guy, so ive come to realize, he can be rude as **** sometimes..but he means well! dont take it personal
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keleko:
i'll let him off then,

Its sorted now anyway, i have the omnia

and if anyone wants to know how to hard reset then here ya go:

1. turn the phone off.

2. hold the power/call/end buttons for about 5 secs.

3. you will be asked if you want to format, this will only format the phone memory not 'my storage' or 'storage card'.

4. press the call button to format and hey presto working omnia again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Why didn't you just soft reset............
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nothin:
is is so easy to say: "make hard reset"....

----

control panel registry branch may be deleted(then i cannot help you), or you just missing empty directory in /windows/start menu/ - look there, if it is missing, make it(just empty dir named "settings") there and make softreset....

if still problem persists, try to copy any shortcut(lnk) to that /windows/start menu/settings dir, make softreset and look, if that icon in menu start is there..

there may be other possibilities, but...it is late and i need to get some sleep now..

in future, try use ppcpimbackup to make..... whole PIM backup(sms, mms, mail, calls, etc), just in case you need hard reset(you cannot make full backup with i.e. spb backup, if system is damaged, it may be nonsense - ppcpimbackup will just make databases backup, so in case of reset it won't be such pain as loss of everything..)

btw, it is wrong forum section, imho...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] keneth_c:
My phone M2102K1G came with IN ROM as I bought the phone in India during launch.

I unlocked bootloader and flashed Xiaomi.eu's fastboot ROM which is based on CN ROM and my model was then M2102M1C. I didn't like the Xiaomi.eu ROM and switched to Global MI fastboot Rom. Rooted as well. Very happy with this 🙂

I did not fastboot flash TWRP and left my phone on stock recovery. I have tested fastboot boot TWRP and that works well though the initial language (TWRP) is Chinese and you have to first switch the language to English. I haven't flashed anything via TWRP as yet.

My question is:

OTA zip file (Global MI Rom)

Can i flash it via TWRP?

Even though my phone is for the India IN region?

And if I can flash it via TWRP, then do I immediately flash with Magisk zip as well to keep root?

Thanks to anyone who had the patience to read through this and can hopefully reply.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
In case you want update a stock ROM without TWRP and keep root throughout the updates here is my guide to do so.

Download on your phone latest recovery package manually from trusted websites. You can find the ROMs and firmware specific for your device on here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/star/ remember to download the recovery version

Disable magisk modules and reboot

Upon reboot go to settings->system version->Miui(top left button)-> in the updater click several times on the main icon to unlock hidden settings->once unlocked tap on the three dots on the top right and select "choose update package"->browse your folder to find the downloaded recovery package,select it and press the V button on the bottom->update will start->wait until completion and reboot

Once rebooted follow the procedure to flash magisk.zip

Reboot the phone into fastboot

Connect phone to the pc

Boot into twrp

Once in twrp flash dalvik and cache

Flash magisk.zip and rewipe dalvik and cache

Reboot system and voila
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] keneth_c:
Ok thanks.

I'm definitely gonna follow these steps the next time I get an OTA update.

Don't need to be rooted to flash boot TWRP is it?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
No, you don't need,but you don't flash twrp, you just boot into twrp
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] keneth_c:
If I have a unlocked and rooted phone with stock recovery, what happens if I just update normally via the stock update procedure? Will it not work?

Without disabling Magisk or anything and just updating.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
Honestly I don't know but I can say that magisk wasn't fully working after updating without reflashing it
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] keneth_c:
Okay.

So I cannot flash the OTA zip.

But have to update using the full recovery ROM for the updated version.

And then flash Magisk via fastboot boot TWRP
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] keneth_c:
How will I get boot.img from the recovery ROM?

Only fastboot ROM will have boot.img
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
I think you have a bit of confusion, only thing you have to di is download magisk.zip on your phone, boot into twrp and flash it, simple

How to Install OTA Updates on Rooted Android Devices using Magisk [Without Losing Root]

An OTA update has arrived, but you cannot install it because your Android device is rooted? Well, that’s a known downside of rooting Android. In this guide, you will learn how to install OTA updates…

www.thecustomdroid.com
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
Yes, you will probably have to reinstall Magisk as root will more than likely be broken. The update server still sees a stock rom and as long as you have stock recovery, the stock OTAs will work.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] keneth_c:
The guide posted above explains properly the steps. Will try that next time around.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] To1Fazi:
Hey,

I don't know how, but as of today, my phone automatically locks after 30 Minutes and that is the maximum I can chose in the settings-lock menu. This is damn annoying as I consider the time far too short. I had it to 2 hours before and that was a very convient compromise between security and flexibility.

Does anyone know how to overwrite these settings such that I can put in any time (especially a longer one) I want or probably disable it completely if there is no other way around it?

Thanks very much in advance.

Best,

Frédérik

I've been using lineage OS rooted and TWRP installed, my phone was slowing down, so i boot into recovery and cleared all data and copied ROM and gapp files and flashed them, then it rebooted but it went again to recovery only, ever since, stuck in TWRP recovery and even if i tried to go to fastboot via pressing vol up and power button its going into TWRP, Anyone knows how to fix this

Follow this guide. You need to view the page in desktop mode, if viewing on a mobile browser.

The Mi Flash Tool will lock the bootloader after flashing, by default. If you don't want this, you need to change the flash option, before flashing, at the bottom of the tool window.

If you also want to lock the phone, make sure you have the correct ROM for your phone, otherwise you'll hard brick the phone. See this for details.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] yajdintaydemir:
Hello there, i recently unlocked my bootloader and i'm ready leave MIUI for good. Therefore i was wondering which custom rom is the most useful for my personal use.

I rarely play games and the ones i play are light-weight and not demanding games. I usually browse social media and watch movies.

I don't need many extra features, stability is the most important thing for me.

So i'm looking for a ROM that's close to stock android with a few nice features, that's stable and hopefully battery-efficient.

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Antonio7489:
If You dont play games and want a stabile room go for Arrow OS ,If you want customization go for dot Os ,Cr droid.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] marcelorodrigo:
I have the same user profile as you: looking for a stable ROM, with OTA updates.

So far as I've read the internet out there, most people go for Xiaomi.eu (for MIUI like experience) or ArrowOS (for a more pure Android experience).

But, of course, there's plenty of other options.

I'm more willing to go for Xiaomi.eu, but I would like to hear other users' experiences too.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pcjabuy:
Crdroid is the best choice.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
ArrowOS version 07-09-2021 in the best one regarding smoothness and stabilty, however latest builds (from 07-23-2021 included) aren't good, scaling governor was changed for the worst, and since they switch from stock to their own vendor it have some relevant bugs.

tl:dr: ArrowOS 07-09-2021 build, both official or vanilla. Also LineageOS once it will become official can be a good choice.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] marcelorodrigo:
Could you elaborate a bit and share your experience?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Antonio7489:
Cr Droid has some bugs when I tested , arrow is good but not the best , I recomand Dot OS 5.1.1 it's more stabile , now I'm on Pixel Extended and is working grateful .
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Antonio7489:
My phone comes with Xiaomi EU , and is not grate ,you can go if you want but is the same ****t experience from MIUI ,go for Dot or arrow because MIUI EU is not good .

Edit: is very heavy 5.2GB and not good for games ,and has a very resorce consuming UI .
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Lu5ck:
ArrowOS get worse with every OTAs so no, I won't recommend ArrowOS for now.

LineageOS as listed in its thread has its bug and with only one OTA so far, I can't judge if is good long run yet but with my past experience using it on other phones, it has been great. Still, those are by different maintainers so only time can tell.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Zeokat:
From my experience, the best one in terms of stability is CrDroid, i can't find significant bugs on it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
I have 0 issues with ArrowOS no idea what are you people talking about. If about the CPU governor scaling it's intended and i dont see any issue with it, battery life is about the same and it's more fluid. Furthermore it's only matter of time and every custom ROM will be based on OSS vendor so better get used to it.

Can you explain how exactly it gets worse with every OTA?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
As long as ROMs keeps get updates, there's always chance getting bugs or issues when update, so there's no "Best custom rom for stability".

Don't update if the ROM is working well makes the ROM stable.

The most stable ROM is the ROM that don't get updates. Everything is always the same. Bug is the same, issue is the same, security vulnerabilities are still there. So stable :P.
