[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] caraconejo:
It took a while, but it's already here.

Tuesday, September 28 and OTA in Spain for the F926B / DS model

F926BXXU1AUI4

F926BOXM1AUI4

F926BXXU1AUHD

839 mb, The date of the security patch goes from July 1 to September 1 (two days before entering October)

Via OTA, it still doesn't even appear in SamMobile, much less the changelog

It seems that Samsung finally skipped the "AUHF" version; F926BXXU1AUHF F926BOXM1AUHF F926BXXU1AUHD And I go directly to this AUI4 OTA from Tuesday, September 28, 2021

And the version is DS Dual SIM and with CsC EuX

Hopefully, this delay is punctual and not a rule from now on

Samsung is seen to have had some kind of problem with the update of this device, because here is the first OTA that arrives and that in the server I hung up to two more versions without releasing via OTA that should not be very good
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
Hoping for the U1 (XAA) update soon
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] thuglife:
Its on Frija with CSC EUX.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Damian:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinokirk:
What does latest updates give? I can only think new updates block possible ways for us to root
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Damian:
I get better GSM snd GPS signal. GSm in places where I had no signal on first version now is up to 2 bars. GPS was crazy once in London where was a lot of high buildings.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] eswar539:
India. Still in July
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] shobhit_90:
Yup, nothing for India yet
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ronaldheld:

Germany - I've been updated too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jfrancis999:
Verizon, got it yesterday. BTW, when I tap "Smart Updates" (currently "off"), settings barfs back to the homescreen. Anyone else seeing that behavior?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vinokirk:
Yes I see that a lot with all different kinds of apps. Had it before the update, I'm seeing it after the update too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jamesbilluk:
Recicved the update here, UK. Unfortunately it seems to have made the phone very laggy indeed! Mainly scrolling the Web, and photos. Really odd. The battery life seems worse as well, not sure what to do really..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] JayRolla:
Updated today, ATT in the US. No noticeable changes I can see so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Bababooy:
updated today as well and no issues. actually seems a little faster. one other note is that after the update my battery status jumped up 1 %.

File

Notice:UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE FIRST!!!!!!!
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] superrama:
Where did this come from? A brand new acct with no info just a link seem odd. Not to mention the size is larger than most twrp imgs. Can we get some more info
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] SAKUYO_KYO:
This recovery is carried from Coolapk user named 残芯。

More features can be seen there.

Please use fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img instead of fastboot boot !!!!

Temporary boot is not supported is this device.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] superrama:
The link does not lead to anything useful but I was able to do my own googling using the username you provided and I did find some weibo page of a guy claiming to be a unofficial twrp creator for multiple phones. I dont speak chinese but google translate gave me enough info.

I also found a page by the same user with screenshots showing a legion pro 2

Sina Visitor System

So this might be a legit twrp after all but I will let a braver soul try it out first.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] SAKUYO_KYO:
In fact,the weibo link that you provide leads to a download-able zip file with a password.But,you must pay money to get the password.

I bought it.BUT I leak this file withont the writher's agreement.

That is why I created a all new account to post.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
Ok. so i did

fastboot flash boot xxx.img

as it was written (probably, i used a translator) in the original post. It was successful but my phone wouldn't boot (no matter whether it was fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot reboot, the logo flashed and the phone went back to bootloader) so i later downloaded the ROM it had before, version 12.5.062 ST and extracted the boot.img from it, did fastboot flash boot boot.img and the whole thing booted up as it would normally and is fully functioning including wifi and fingerprint. i have the 18/512GB version so i guess it should be the Lenovo Legion 2 Pro
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
In the weibo post the guy suggested to quote "Use the (Stump or Residual) tool to brush into the boot section, and use the method to skip to twrp"

but i don't know what those thing mean
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
Any help would be appreciated as i want to maybe change the rom to cn and root it
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] &(*):
Did you boot into TWRP? You have to hold the volume down button and then power on the device. When the bootloader menu prompts, tap volume down or up and select recovery and see if it boots into TWRP. Also, I believe you can flash it to recovery instead of boot - try and post results.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
There is no recovery partition and i could power it off only after unplugging the side usb port, if not, the logo would blink and the phone would go back to fastboot mode after selecting START / POWER OFF / REBOOT RECOVERY / REBOOT BOOTLOADER (all available options). After that i could not get it into anything other than bootloader or power off state. The post says to jump to twrp after flashing boot.img but as i said the phone didn't boot up to anything other than the bootloader, even after using a ton of key combinations. From fastboot mode it won't boot to recovery as there is no place for one, after flashing stock boot.img and using adb reboot recovery it shows the usual No command sleeping robot. Holding Volume Up or Down and Power keys didn't bring the usual options.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
Maybe the secure boot prevents from booting anything other than bootloader after flashing non compatible boot.img
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
so i succefully rooted the phone by just flashing patched boot.img but while tinkering in fastboot, i switched the active slot from a to b and now my phone is stuck in EDL mode and i have no idea which firmware is compatible as i already tried flashing the cn, row and ee roms via QFIL and nothing worked.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] &(*):
Uh oh, do you know if it is a Duel 2 or Pro 2? Try the .188 firmware from lolinet and then flash it through QFIL with the instructions by Shadow27Jirka ( https://xdaforums.com/t/help-how-to-solve-frimware-problem.4286635/ )

Open QFIL

Select Meta Build

Select Programmer path as "prog_firehose_ddr.elf" from extracted ROM files

Load Content.xml from ROM files ("contents.xml")

Press Download

Switch phone to Download mode (press and hold all volume and power buttons for a while and the plug a cable to side USB port)

Download will start automatically and it´ll flash whole OS

If step 5 will not be enabled, use step 6 and press Download right after phone is detected by QFIL
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
It's Lenovo Legion 2 Pro. China Aliexpress version with global ROM flashed. I tried the .188 You mentioned but it returned the same result as before, when my phone was working and I was trying to change the ROM back to CN. View attachment 5569369
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] &(*):
Try powering down the device fully by holding the power key for 30 seconds or both the volume up and power key for 30 seconds. When you plug it in, hold both volume keys and the power button and click download right away. Since you have the AliExpress version use .188 with QFIL. Make sure you have your com port selected.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
Tried to power it off while having the usb cable connected to the side port, after around 15-16 seconds of holding POWER / POWER + VOLUME the COM port in Qfil blinks and is again displayed as QDLoader 9008. Then I tried with the phone unplugged and the results were the same. After that I just tried to get Partition Manager working but to no avail, the same as with normal .188 flash.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
Nothing works. I tried different Qfil configurations and multiple CN Roms but this POS just won't budge. Damned Sahara error drives me crazy.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] &(*):
What version of QPST are you using? Have you used QFIL before? You may be missing libraries. Have you tried full power down and then hold both volume keys and power button followed by plugging it in (official way to flash)?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
I was using the latest Qfilfrom the latest QPST package, don't remember the exact version, then Qfil 2.0.1.0 because it was used in the Z6 Pro guide and was mentioned on the CN forum. There was even a nice gif showing everything step-by-step. Done exactly that but the outcome was the same- Sahara error. Tomorrow I'm gonna try reinstall everything and do it once again and if it doesn't help, switch to linux and Windows 7.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
I'm a nobb in those things and need to read more, but it can be that I unlocked the slot a bootloader, and then switched to slot b with it locked, so the bl may be preventing qfil from flashing

can anyone help me with the android box

You have to temporary turn Off 2-factor Authentication in you Google Account. Then log in on the tv box. I have one that I hope to get info here on Updating Chrome, plus other Apps, since I do like this TV Box !!

[Android Head-Units] razvanrudy:
Looking to get a 2DIN head unit for my wife VW Touran 2008. ( UK model)

So far I narrowed down to Xtrons MA90 and PQS90. Which one of this 2 you will recommend ?

Any other options please?
[Android Head-Units] ExtremeMOD:
This really depends on whether you plan to mod the unit. Even the most expensive Android Head units will lack heavily in sound quality, internet speed, mic and handsfree quality, user interface and configurability and units with less than 4Gb RAM will also struggle with performance under the default factory setup.

However, if you are prepared to "hack" it, then here is what I's recommend:

Any Rockchip based head units, MCU type MTCx - MCU type is key here. PX6 models are top performers then going down to PX5 and PX30. Make sure the internal amplifier is TDA7850, nothing else.

Any MediaTek based unit (best option on top), type:

YT9218D

YT9218x

YT9216Bxx

YT9216Bx

YT9217C

YT9216C

YT216B or YT9217B

Stay away from YT9213A or any YT9213Ax units

MTCx units support Malaysk MOD - all in one mod you need

MediaTek units are much cheaper and can run super mods in my signature.

Here's how you see MCU type (you can ask sellers to show you this screen before purchasing). Look for MTCB, MTCD, MTCE etc.

View attachment 5416973

For MediaTek units, ask for the System Info screen:

View attachment 5416975

If you plan to connect the head unit to an external car sound system, then go with Qualcomm SnapDragon units. They can be pricey, don't offer that much in terms of options but are very good performers in terms of computing power. Look for SnapDragon SD625 as an example.

Hope this helps.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
I am a bit of a scaredy cat, and I don’t want to pollute the GSI thread with this question.

OnePlus is not offering fast boot flash images for their Nord 2. And the only way to get a custom rom is by flashing a custom vbmeta image and a system image for GSI.

The question now arises, how could one come back from a GSI into stock? I would assume I would need to do ADB push/pull and copy the whole system NAND to a file, then restore that if needed.

Would that be true? Or are there better / faster / safer ways to turn the phone to stock?

I have not yet received my unit, but i want to start tinkering with it as soon as I get my hands on it. So I want to know if there are any ways to undo any and all modifications i would do to the system.

Cheers

Can't twrp backup as system.img
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
I am unsure if this is being worded as a factual statement, or as a question.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ajaz35:
I am telling that TWRP Backs up system as System.img in most Phones.

Same should apply to Nord 2.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
It should apply, but there's the issue of backups needing to be bit-perfect to ensure not to upset dm-verity

I have however found a bunch of commands that i will be testing in about 6 days, once i receive the terminal. I will be placing them for future reference, and for any poor souls who may need this:

adb backup --twrp -f /directory/to/save/dump.db

Not exactly my cup of tea, but this should combine bit-perfect system and vendor images with space-saving regular file copies of other lesser i mportant partitions, and ignoring the /data/media partition. Should be good enough.

adb root

adb shell 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 2>/dev/null' > mmcblk0.img

These two commands should, on an ideal world, with debugging enabled on the target device, and from within TWRP, create a bit-perfect copy of the entire nand and leave them on the CWD. however, the path may differ from what i've found, different chipset and all. However, that's nothing that a good old

lsblk -l

won't solve. The tricky bit will be actually pulling the file back. Since redirects can seemigly be used to copy the image file to the CWD, redirects may be able to be used to write to disk remotely. This one requires more research.

Alternatively, i will need to buy an OTG cable, get a large enough flash drive, and mount it for the purposes and DD'ing the file out and into the device. If all else fails, with 8GB of RAM it should be able to store 1/16 of the total NAND flash onto ram and slowly stitch the nand in chunks. Not shore how well would that go, too many points of failure. But keeping this for my own musings.

Another possible answer would be to boot into TWRP, running

lsblk -l

to see all the mount points, and using

adb push / adb pull

on each of them. Research indicates one can't copy the whole NAND this way, but individual partitions. Should suffice as long as the subsequent coopies are bit-perfect. Assuming one can push the generated image back, this may be the most satisfactory answer.

I will attempt to perform these tasks when i receive the phone and see if it can successfuly restore it's own backup.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
Additionally, one should note that i intend on fully backing up the NAND of the device. Just the system partition is insufficient. as there may be updates on the way that may make restoring the system partition from an OTA image impossible. Therefore, a full NAND copy is needed. altnernatively, if a low-level copy cannot be achieved, individual bit-perfect copies of individual partitions will need to suffice, and hoping no GSI or custom rom maniulates any of the protected partitions.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sakarya1980:
Do you flash the system.img from my backup?

https://xdaforums.com/t/oneplus-nord-2-oxygen-11-3-dn2103_11_a-07-10-eea-rom.4331695/
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
As I stated previously. I have yet to receive my terminal. So I haven’t flashed anything yet.

however, disabling dm-verity, installing your system image, see it it fails, and if it fails, backing up, will be a great way to test if my backups are effective.

I want to toy around with your image and PHH’s once I get the terminal. So I’m just trying to preemptively have backups in place for when I inevitably flash something without paying attention and bricking the device.

that reminds me, were you the one who needed a full system dump a few weeks ago on another thread? I can upload my image once I get it working

Edit: just checked it was phhusson who needed the dump. Sorry about the mix up

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] shnailcheg:
Hi. How return the device to stock and lock bootloader? Is there manual?​
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
Assuming you didn't install any custom ROM, all you have to do is boot onto fastboot and type fastboot OEM lock or fastboot flashing lock. Forgot which exactly.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] shnailcheg:

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
restore your full NAND backup and godspeed
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] shnailcheg:
have you tried this method on nord 2?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
I made a nand copy but never backed it up.I ended up not needing root for anything and I won't install any ROMs until there's any good ways to have a failsafe for backups. So to all effects I have a backup I haven't tested. I am not gonna risk losing my IMEI or having a zombified phone due to missing blocks on the backup.

To be specific. I have ways to get data OUT of the phone. But I don't have a reliable way to get the data IN and ensure nothing critical is missing or overwritten in the process. And I am too afraid to lose my phone just testing if backups ACTUALLY work.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
K

Keep nandroid backup evry time you want to go back just restore that nandroid backup using twrp if you gets data restoration error just deselect data emmc win file in backup and restore.

Remember on android 12 gsi twrp data encryption issue so u can't able to access internal storage to restore the backup so first go back to android 11 gsi, now transfer that backup to twrp folder and then boot back to twrp and restore

I personally done this when I stuck on android 12gsi
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ZanaGB:
One thing i have been reading from the TWRP Nandroid backups, is that people who install the GSI and then restore, lose their IMEI data and other baked-in addresses.

Is that the case? I would imagine that since TWRP backups aren't bit-for-bit it could cause problems. Have you tested for that?

EDIT: additionally, i guess i absolutely need an OTG adatper to properly restore the backup, since the mere ac of restoring the backup would destroy the backup in the process, wouldn't it?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] pankspoo:
No if u r on android 12 gsi u need OTG there twrp will not work.

No issue in Restoration on android 11gsi
