[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweenWolf:
Wow, you are doing some serious stuff, I kinda like it.

if you are using stock boot.img then it checks if the system is tempered with, so use magisk as it removes that check.

only unmodified system images can boot with stock boot.img

learn about Verified Boot from here

when you are using kamakiri then it doesn't check if the recovery is stock, or i think it replaces something on the fly (i may be wrong in this one, i don't remember)

if you flash stock boot.img via hacked bl then it checks the system image and if the hashes dont match it will not allow the system to boot

same goes with TWRP, because you are using twrp instead of stock amazon image, it runs "install-recovery.sh"

from the system, which checks if the recovery is stock or not and replaces it.

again it comes to hashes, it doesn't match then system won't boot.

thats why i provided a patched boot.img

you should not use stock boot.img on modified system, it will never boot
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skel40:
Yeah because I'm trying to make a stock none update rom without Amazon burning my efuse which I'm not doing again. I purposefully am trying to keep testing things out to where I still have my unlockable 4k without any type of efuse do anything permanent with the exploit. Anyways besides that, if the system checks to make sure the boot.img is stock along with the os, then how did installing your patched fota on oobe work successfully after replacing the stock fota? Wouldn't that not match the hashes needed for a locked bootloader? That makes complete sense now knowing the security with Android Nougat.

I might create older stock roms as tests with the lk, microloader, etc to see whats really overwriting files when unlocked. Whether it's images that patch the exploit on 6.2.8.1 or just the efuse files created just for the efuse burning. I wouldn't even know if Amazon will implement more files to combat TWRP and the filesystem by chance

Your boot.img got me somewhere at least. It keeps bootlooping unlike the stock boot with no loop

I'll read more information about the verified boot process

Thank you for helping me with this I appreciate it!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweenWolf:
My patches worked for you because you used magisk, when magisk is installed it removes the verify flag along with other things.

If a partition has a verify flag in it then the kernel will check whether the system is tempered.

Now because magisk removes the flag then the kernel will not check its integrity.

These codes exists insides of boot.img

So by editing boot.img you can remove the verify flag and thus the system will boot.

Now if you use getprop you will probably find that your bootloader is in orange state.

This goes a lot deeper than it already is.

We can remove signature verification altogether but that leaves the system compromised and i am simply against it.

That's why i don't use magisk, i don't like that any app can have access to su, I'm not forcing it to anybody but i love a stock system.

Now you can use magisk to do basically anything, like peacockTV runs a lots of checks, you can spoof them via magisk no big deal, you can also edit the apk but requires a bit of knowledge.

To be frank i would like be on the side of a secure system rather than a compromised system. But its a TV whats secure on it anyway.

About you mentioning that you want a rom which will not blow the efuse, allow you to unlock again, and doesn't force OTA

As you might remember that's what i wanted.

I don't have enough time for it and I now have only one stick left (other one is dead) and i don't want to lose it because i cannot buy a stick which can be unlocked, i am sticking with it.

Here's a bit of things you can do,

But remember this first (as long as you have latest TZ installed, do not put any rom on it which have efuse burner files on it, because the files will be responsible for burning the efuse but they first need to check if something is updated so that it burns the efuse, it will not burn the efuse without any reason, along with it do remember that not every app has the permission to do whatever they want, on system level /bin /sbin /xbin contains the files which does things so check any changes in them. Apks generally don't have any permissions to blow a fuse)

Create a zip with system vender and tz on it, replace the files and remove efuse stuff.

You should also do something about install-recovey.sh or say goodbye to TWRP

Then flash it, your system will not boot

You have to check boot img and remove verify stuff and all.

At some point your system will boot.

You can flash the boot.img via hacked bl

If your efuse isn't blown then you can fix it, do however many time as this needs, good luck
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweenWolf:
What do you mean by this, what are you trying to edit, i am using a modded system and mine is not bootlooping, try checking logcat
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skel40:
So when I flashed rbox's release 2 of 6.2.8.1 and have added your updater-script along with most things without magisk. I removed the install folder along with the magisk folder and everything else magisk related to guarantee a stock rom without the efuse in place. I'm not even editing anything in the system, so I'll try to run a logcat and see what that says

hello members,

recently i faced issue with forgotten password which my child changed. i tried to recover by google by entering multiple wrong password but i failed in last i wiped data by entering recovery mode AND MY ALL DATA IS DELETED. IS THERE ANYWAY TO RECOVER DATA FROM MY REDMI NOTE 9 PHONE? please guys help me.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mineplayerminer:
No. Everything is encrypted. You need to unlock the phone. There won't be any data encryption if you have unlocked your bootloader. Just don't let your kid play with "your" phone and problem solved. Data recovery from a locked phone is impossible. Don't believe to the videos where people are desoldering their eMMC chips and putting them into the USB readers. Just find a TWRP or any other recovery, flash it and done! But some apps might refuse to work as the encryption is off (Especially the Play Protect ro the Google Pay NFC), so Magisk will be needed.

Hello to everyone

I met xda when I was a child and someone gave me my first smartphone, (a Huawei Ascend Y100) and since then I am a fan of Custom Roms, I am not a programmer or anything like that but I enjoy each new development in the forums and I read many times content that is not even for my phone lol. Thanks for the great work that this community does showing all the free android projects in all their variants.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mzsquared:
Gonna miss the camera though, but sadly that's pretty much it for a $1300 device. Most of my frustration lately regarding this phone is about an excessive amount of advertising on part of Samsung.

I was getting constantly interrupted with adds prompting me to do this or that or, to consider some of their(Samsung) ideas with apps that would “enhance my Samsung experience” etc...etc... I mean, what is this? They don't own my phone, I paid for it so why do they think they're entitled to push all that crap on me over and over again? They're using all kind of tricks like a mandatory permission requests and if they don't get it then they would cripple your device like a smartwatch for example, depriving you of the watch ability to function normally.

That's OK, the lesson learned – I'm going to use my active watch 2 at the minimal capacity now, w/o the Health app - what's left on the watch is good enough for me, I'm still able to monitor my heartbeat rate to know if I can push myself harder while biking or 'power' walking.

Anyway, right now I'm flagships free! Yay! I'm left with my Pixel 4a5G which I'm liking a lot but I'll be looking for some other high end, quality phone. Galaxy S21 U is a superior device right now no doubts about it, though it has some issues: battery life and a lack of sufficient heat dissipation – those are the two top negative ones imo. Will see, but right now my hope goes to 2022 with better than 888SOC.

Experia 1 III/5 III at first looked promising then the pic samples came in and killed it for me, same SOC and it runs hot as well, supposedly.

Too bad that Sony, a camera powerhouse makes so disappointing phone cameras, it's a shame. I'll tell everyone who feels offended by my above opinion: go take a good look at the low-light pictures.

ps.Got a really good money for my 16/512GB S21 U that puts me way ahead of the usual Samsung trade-in quotas, apparently it's a hot item right now, considered to be a “rare find”.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Wish you all the best buddy. Hope you find a device you like. The Pixels are just around the corner so they may be worth waiting for. Every other flagship is running on the same nuclear reactor.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
You just have to know what options to select in order to avoid any advertising.

I have a US unlocked-from-samsung S21U and I don't see any ads because I when setting up the device and when going to samsung.com (my account page), I made sure to turn off all ads and marketing. Plus, I went to their CCPA page to turn everything off as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
I wish I could disagree with you on more points, but for the most part you nailed it.

Not getting any kind of ads here, cleaned most of the garbage with adb, fiddled with power saving and the likes until I'm at a point where I can live with this phone long term.

It all depends on your use case...so far it fits mine,but that doesn't mean it doesn't drive me insane for not being able to get my trusty email client check my work mail every 30 min during day. It does it at 31, 45, 56.....anyone's guess between 30-59 min. That's with an app excempt from battery management, no power saving, etc.

So yea...far from perfect for 1200$....fortunately I paid a lot less so that lessens the pain.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mzsquared:
Thanks, I am fine w/ 4a5G, was using it more then S21U as a phone, but for pics & vids there is no comparison between these two with the range of things cameras could do. Will see what kind of a promise they'll paint for us in a bright colors before new models release and how it's going to look like in the real life.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mzsquared:
I was blocking some of that but they(Samsung,Google) have their sleeves full of tricks anyway. If I didn't have the watch I would probably never go to Samsung store. With the watch and their sh**load of widgets and apps they get you to visit that store anyways like 'a must go to the XIX Century company store'.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Samsung has really taken a dumpster dive this year, obviously following Android Android 11's lead in a full afterburner high G flat spin, crush depth crash dive down the perverbial toilet.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] chungdae:
When you first the get phone you can opt out of all advertising from Samsung / Google. You can also go to the settings and stop the advertising as well if you didn't opt out.

I also have 0 ads on my S21 ultra 512gb
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mzsquared:
Yup, each generation of 'flagships' brings new wave of marketing hype stirred up by manufacturers being quick to avertise upcoming developments in technology. No doubt a progress is happening, but the end products based on those new advances don't always deliver the goods as promised: “oh yes, this year we'll put a fantastic SoC into your phone, 5nm node – lightning fast and able to run at 20% less power then the previous one” --- wait a minute, that's great but you said exactly same words about 7nm and 10nm before that. So, comparing the power usage demands, S21 should be using only about 40% of the required CPU power needed to run Galaxy 8? Why are the batteries bigger now but lasting less and why can't you get a better control of devices heat?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mzsquared:
How often do you go to the Galaxy Store?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] chungdae:
Every morning to update apps. I don't have any ads beyond that. Same as the Google play store
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
There's faster memory and CPU but it's weighted down by the useless scoped storage and a more bloated OS. The MS/Intel paradox🤣

My Note 10+ running on Pie get about 8%@hr battery usage on it's 4300mAh battery when browsing, 10% streaming vids.

No scoped storage so even with it's slower hardware... how much slower is it? It probably uses less battery as well. In actual use the 10+ doesn't lag and runs fast without getting hot unless it's a really CPU intensive task.

It's 96F out and I'm in the shade with a fan; my battery temperature is 95F. It's at least 92F where I'm sitting.

I can't afford the liability of a hot running device throttling back because it's system is a hog running needless CPU cycles to emulate Apple's lame scope storage ideas.

Gookill Android, the new green Apple🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I do it once every month or two. I'd never do it if the Galaxy apks didn't "time out". Sometimes Samsung screws them up with their lame graphics. Idiots.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mzsquared:
Thank you all for kind words, I owe you an update on this subject: I've re-loadedo_O!!! I'm back with a new s21U, I really need the camera on me, I spend a lot of time outdoors observing Nature(the only and truly positive result of covid) and there is no substitute for this phone camera ois zoom, I have decent 'regular' camera but can't use it for calling/texting/music etc... this phone pretty much does it all.

I'm trying to get rid of the bloat annoyance , didn't even sign-up to my Samsung account on this phone, though I've been using Buds pro and watch active 2 - everything works(w/ limitations - that's ok) I'll check for updates once a month maybe and that's all. I de-bloated most of Samsung related apps, no need to be spreading all the permissions more then once after Google already has it.

So, my current Samsung status reads: Underground:cool:

[UPDATE]:

**********

I got sick of my phone telling me I needed to update but I couldn't because I'm rooted. So finally got around to patching the last full ROM today w/ the incremental.

This is the fastbootd w/ flash_all.bat script to update to 11.0.12.12.KB05AA. The package for KB05AA (Global/US) is not yet available, hence I'm still making it available here. Be sure to alter the flash script (remove the "rem" before boot.img and recovery.img if you DO NOT want to keep your custom kernel + TWRP) ****************

File on MEGA

mega.nz

THIS IS ONLY FOR 11.0.9.9.KB05AA, BUT READ IT ANYWAY!!!!: ***************

I think this is the first time anyone has actually made a working incremental update for a rooted OOS device, or any with a payload.bin update method that I know of. This method doesn't require any wiping and TWRP / rooted boot.img / custom OOS kernel can be installed right after the script finishes (or left on the device), and you don't even change your active slot (usually, incremental updates will flash to the inactive slot).

I won't get into that many specifics except it was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, but it works now. Read here if you want to do it yourself in the future, or on another phone. Should work on just about any phone that uses payload.bin files https://xdaforums.com/t/incremental...11-0-9-9-kb05aa-posted.4314677/#post-85425949

You may have to edit the .bat file to pick your RAM type (the lp5 ones are for devices with LPDDR5; it is preset for most of the phones using the LPDDR4 RAM). On the Op8T at least you can do this from adb shell:

adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type; where a 0 is LPDDR4 and 1 is LPDDR5 ram. If it's 1 returned, you need to flash the lp5 files instead of the same named otherwise files in the .bat file (so edit it).

That weird -cow stuff is temp files that prevented the update from working. Not documented anywhere I could find (well, minimally explained by Google), took hours to figure out they were filling the super partition up. I had to re-engineer a Linux project (linked above) to get this working, and have officially updated from 11.0.8.13 to 11.0.9.9 COMPLETELY now. While rooted, without switching slots, and TWRP installed.

You just have to ensure you're on the latest ADB and Fastboot tools and an adb reboot bootloader, followed by a fastboot reboot fastboot should get you there. You can check with: fastboot getvar is-userspace

If it says yes, you're in fastbootd. It actually will work with TWRP installed, I found out later, as long as you reboot in TWRP to fastboot and confirm with the command above you're in fastbootd.

https://github.com/fawazahmed0/Latest-adb-fastboot-installer-for-windows/releases/tag/v1.7 has a script that will get you the Latest ADB and Fastboot and put it in a folder for you.

I uploaded it to Mega. Just use some common sense and look at the flash_all.bat file before flashing. I'd write more but I'm tired as hell from getting this working. Now we'll never have to wait for an incremental update while rooted again, at least in the foreseeable future.

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] mslezak:
Of course I tried that solution first, it didn't work on my device.

I'm glad it did on others' devices, kudos to you for posting it (and I DO appreciate your work), but this is the only one that worked on mine. Why? Who knows. I also followed another guide that didn't work. Or else I wouldn't have wasted all my time making this (it took many, many hours to assemble). I'm not saying it's the best solution (I really hope someone just uses what I put in the other thread and assembles it into an easier format for others to use), but I have a full time job (2 actually) so I can't work on it anymore. But it works, no data loss, and TWRP can be installed. Until the next incremental update comes out, then I'll post another version using the tools I used for this, if your build doesn't work on my device. But only when I have the time...
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] mslezak:
LoL band-aid fix... Call it whatever you want, it works.

It's actually a patched 11.0.8.3.KB05AA with the incremental update applied to it for 11.0.9.9.KB05AA. So it flashes to the active slot and TWRP / rooted custom kernel can all be installed at the same time, even while you are still rooted with Magisk, and even if TWRP is installed. No data loss. I never claimed perfection on this project, just that it works for me.

Keep doing what you're doing, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. We both just aim to help others anyway. I just couldn't get any other method to work so I came up with this one, extending on the incomplete / abandoned work of others. I didn't come up with Payload extraction. Never claimed to. I didn't come up with fastbootd flashing either.

All the forked and modified code is at my GitHub repo. The fork goes back to several other devs' forks (mine is the 3rd modified fork).
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] mslezak:
Someone want to point me to the right download for the incremental update to 11.0.9.9.KB05AA? I got a download link but if it's not for this exact ROM, it would be dangerous (I don't know what would break) if I applied it and patched the incremental 11.0.9.9 (which is like a full ROM in the way I distribute it here). I believe the update is 11.0.10.10.KB05AA. I tried downloading as illustrated in the linked thread and it halfway installed (Op8T's don't seem to like the "remove Magisk images" and then install the update method, it totally jacked up my system (like long boot time, alarms didn't work, numbers wouldn't always appear to login to the phone after reboot, etc.), luckily I had backed up Super in TWRP and that fixed it (upon a restore). The one someone told me was the official link to the incremental update did not work with the Linux program I hacked, so it's either incapable of patching an incremental 2x, or I got the wrong file downloaded. My life is so crazy at the moment I don't have time to screw up my phone just to get the incremental update downloaded on my phone and extract it, so if anyone has already done that, please let me know.

Better to install the full ROM

Download Oxygen Updater in app store and select your device AA for global and Ba for European device.

Go to settings, system update wait til 100% and Don't reboot yet if you want to keep Root

Go to Magisk and install ota in inactive slot
