Any good? Camera+program vs. eye+hand?

Hello will_990,

I totally disagree with you. Form view points of benfit and battery.

I agree with you that the display itself is too dark. It is dark even if I manually turn it to max when I stay in sunlight. But won't software help a little bit? For me at least this will enable me to dail. Then the question is how to make a dail faster.

I do not see any clue it will drain larger power. If I move from a light place to a dark place, then the reduced backlight can then save some power. In addition, the camera does not have to stay on and keep acquiring brightness all the time. The use case could be:

1. User activate on screen.

2. Due to the event camera is on and light is acquired.

3. Software caculate brightness and suitable backlight.

4. The program set backlight and switch off the camera.

You have to check if a while of camera-on consumes more or lighting backlight high does. Assume that P1 is camera power and P2 is backlight power. t1 is calculation time and t3 is manual adjust delay. t2 is the duration you use it then. I expect

(P1+P2)*t1<(P2-P2')*t2.

Certainly, you can use your finger energy to adjust and thus save battery. Then P1=0 but P2*t3 is existing yet. Especially, in case you hold a device already dark, you have difficulty to find the slider so t3 becomes a consuming factor. I expect optimally even

(P1+P2)*t1<P2*t3.

I still looking for solutions...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] will_990:
Your opinion is well founded, however, in my opinion it is lacking at a certain point: I simply don't think that (P1+P2)*t1<P2*t3 could ever become true, unless you'd spend a really long time in changing the slider - or calculation time (and therefor CPU power consumption) would be set rather low...

I have to admit, though, that I don't know the variables' true values, therefor I can't verify or falsify your equations. :-)

Anyway, it would certainly be interesting to test it, google is somewhat lacking on this topic.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] helionce:
Suppose a Case

The later equation deduces to

P1/P2 < t3/t1 - 1.

The battery is 2200mAh. I assume it lasts 3 hours with simple taping operation. So I suppose then 733mA is drawing normally without camera. Suppose the camera(the upper camera) boost the current double, addition 733mA, and calculation time is 10 seconds, and if you spend more than 20 seconds on handling the setting, you make it true.

Nevertheless I have to say, the number is just my estimation.

Even if the later one is false the feature is still attractive.

Looking for somebody to go on with this idea...

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Growicek:
Hello everybody, I have a problems with unbricking Note 8 Pro - begonia - M1906G7G.

It stuck in boot loop. Bootloader is locked.

I have tried that python bypass and flashing firmware using SP Flash Tool. I get success / done message after a while, but when I power the phone, there are no changes. Phone is sitll in boot loop.

Is there anything, what can I do?

Thank you in advance!

EDIT:

Have just tried to flash TWRP, now I'm getting "system has been destroyed" error. So flashing probably works. Problem must be somewhere else.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
If you dont care about data (I think you dont because you flashed by Sp flash tool), just unlock bootloader and flash by Sp Flash Tool again. Maybe you flash fastboot rom not same region with stock phone with locked bootloader. This is the way to unlock bootloader unofficial way you can try.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Growicek:
At first, I could not use that tool. Everytime I tried, I get this error: "mtk: error: argument cmd: invalid choice: 'xflash'".

I had to edit the mtkclient-gui.py with this two commands (from github)

subprocess.call(f"{runtime} mtkclient/mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc")

subprocess.call(f"{runtime} mtkclient/mtk da seccfg unlock")

Now after running the commands I get this in log: "Failed to format all partitions." and after that: "

100.0% Write (Sector 0x1 of 0x1, ) 0.05 MB/s

xflashext - Successfully wrote seccfg."

After this process, when I turn on the phone I get errors:

"dm-verify error

Android system on your device is corrupted."

When I check with fastboot mode, phone have bootloader unlocked now.

So I have tried to flash firmware using SP Flash Tool, got 100% done success message, but on phone I still can see only:

"dm-verify error

Android system on your device is corrupted."

I have also tried fastboot rom and flashing using fastboot "flash_all.bat". Result was "OKAY" for every single file. Phone rebooted and again this error:

"dm-verify error

Android system on your device is corrupted.".

UPDATE:

Finally found firmware, which does not give me "dm-verify error. Android system on your device is corrupted.". But phone is still in a bootloop.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
Flash this TWRP if you using Miui 12.5.x: MOD EDIT: Link Removed

Try

- Advanced > Patch vbmeta

- Reboot > System and check

If you dont have twrp:

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

And vbmeta.img take from fastboot or recovery rom you flashed

If not work, try flash custom rom same as Miui Firmware based to check if phone still can work or not.

And if Custom roms work, just throw Miui away.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Growicek:
Have tried flashing that TWRP. After doing it, I have tried: fastboot reboot recovery. Recovery never loaded. Just pure bootloop. Have also tried flashing vbmeta.img from firmware I have flashed. Then I powered on the phone. Again bootloop. When I tried to flashing few others TWRP. Same result - bootloop. Recovery never boot.

Could not find any custom rom, which is flashable through SP Flash Tool (With working scatter etc..), so I have tried to flash img files from custom rom one by one using fastboot (probably did something wrong or maybe not, idk), phone still in bootloop.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Canny1913:
That dm-verity error is normal if you use mtkclient. You need to lock the phone in mtkclient and reunlock the phone in the normal way to get rid of that error

Also the link seems to got removed but i use Salih-Sonar's TWRP for MIUI 12.5 (search begonia-oss and download the MIUI 12.5 one)

You can just flash the full fastboot rom and it should work unless you corrupted properitary partitions (nvdata,persist,nvcfg etc)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Growicek:
I have finally after hours and hours of trying flashed firmware, which is not stuck in bootloop. Now the phone reboots after few seconds of running. I found out, that CPU is overheating, so probably hardware issue. Will try reball of the CPU chip and we will see, if it helps.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Canny1913:
Well good luck then.

There is a super small chance that the overheat is be related to the firmware though. But the odds of that are really low if the phone is running normal.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Growicek:
Phone was in a bootloop, so I have unlocked bootloader, flashed latest firmware, phone was still in bootloop. So I have flashed very very old firmware and then phone booted successfuly. I was able to set language, region, connect to wifi and then freeze. After few seconds it rebooted. I have checked the temperature of CPU (with my finger) and it was quite hot.

Let's hope that reballing will help.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] elkinm:
Some time ago I bought a Pixel 2. It was the Verizon variant which has a permanently locked boot loader with no way around it.

The question is, is there any Pixel 3 with permanently locked bootloader or other restriction or can every one be unlocked and rooted?

EDIT, After posting, it showed me related posts (I did search by the way) stating that the Verizon Pixel 3 is permanently locked. Is this the only one of concern. So as long I get anything but Verizon I can root it? Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
AT&T phones are usually bootloader locked also. T-Mobile phones can usually be unlocked. Also the Google branded phones can be unlocked. However, I have seen reports of refurbished phones that had the bootloader locked during the refurbishing process. Better get a guarantee the bootloader can be unlocked.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] elkinm:
Thank you for your help. I was able to find a Google Edition Pixel 3 and immediately and successfully unlocked the boot-loader with the TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE.

I was not able to unlock my Verizon pixel 2 with that or the Unified Toolkit as it is permanently locked.

Instead of rooting, I checked system updates. It had android 11 and did give me an update to Android 12 so OTA updates work with an unlocked boot-loader.

But OMG 12 looks horrible. The huge settings buttons with no way to shrink them and huge lock screen clock as well as all the text in the settings and no customization like in 11.

It think the biggest step backwards ever on Android. I am so happy my pixel 2 stopped at 11.

Now that I am unlocked I can do anything, maybe go to LineageOS, but am I the only one who hates stock Android 12? I suppose there are better places for that.

Thanks again.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AtrixHDMan:
So this tool kit will unlock bootloader on a Verizon Pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] bmw9651:
with the pixel 2 , you have to use fastboot and adb to gain access to unlock. my pixel 2 is a verizon and i have changed OS to early time. many times. i messed with it.

this is for the Pixel 2 unlocking. https://developers.google.com/android/images

Wait so I can use this toolkit to root Verizon pixel 3 so I can be able to unlock hotspot to tether my unlimited data plan with AT&T?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] elkinm:
No, the Pixel 3 that I unlocked is the Google Edition. The Pixel 2 is Verizon and even the toolkits said bootloader is permanently locked. There was one older build of the VZ pixel 2 that could be unlocked, but I am past and I don't think it will allow a downgrade.

I downloaded from asus website the stock firmware and when installing it screen goes black and not phone won't turn on..Maybe the issue is that i was using lineage recovery instead of stock recovery when updating...Not sure, does not matter...

Now when turning on phone is stuck for a while on asus logo and then shutdowns...Same happens when I try to boot into recovery...I can access fastboot though...

I have tried to flash several recoveries with fastboot, using fastboot flash recovery 'name.img' even though writing recovery shows okay, I still can not boot into recovery after...

Hi can anyone shed any light on a problem i seem to be having with the TP. I previously had a TytnII and it was straight forward to copy the app to my SD card using WMDC, click on the setup cab and it would install.

On the TP I copy the app to my SD Card using WMDC, click on the cab and opera browser launches with the route to the cab in the address bar and does nothing more...

Am i doing something wrong ?

has anyone else got the same problem ?

does anyone know how to resolve it ?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DarkWolfx:
Hey guys, I just came from PDA v23.

I wanted to install crc 14.1 naked bs.

So I installed the at&t stripped version, then crc 14.1 rom.

But after that, I had a lot of problems connecting Active sync with the phone.

I have plugged it into the computer, and it does charge it, but active sync just stays with the gray (idle) icon, nothing happens at all, even if you soft reset it, click on sync or enter the bootloader, nothing happens.

is there something I'm missing?

if it helps, when I plug in the cable, and as soon as it goes in and turns the light amber for charging, activesync does open on the background, but it never syncs not turns green, it does not even try it.

I just tried a different cable that works, and didn't work. Tried another computer and it didn't even bring the message for found new hardware wizard.

Maybe a file was lost, or a driver that recognizes the computer?

I killed the 3 processes from AS:

Wcesmgr.exe

Wcescomm.exe

Rapimgr.exe

And reconnected and opened AS from my phone, and press sync, didn't work.

I also tried restarting computer, neither worked.

I tried using applications that I found to terminate AS like Kill Sync and ReSync, they killed ActiveSync and reopened it, didn't work still.

I've been trying to do this on my work computer, which always worked before the upgrade.

Yesterday I tried connecting the usb into my computer but nothing, also if I connect it to any computer, not even found new hardware wizard comes up.

Tried bluetooth synching, and that worked.

I also tried the WM5 storage prgram, that is not working either.

I thought that maybe I could edit some registry and make this work.

But I tried disabling advanced network functionality, didn't work, enabled it back on, nope.

I think, I'm gonna have to flash it back to the original ROM but as I tried the RUUWrapper is not able to detect my phone, not even on bootloader.

I have a SDHC memory only, and not able to get an SD one.

What can I do in this case?

I have tried multiple things as you can see, and have tried looking on google, but nothing has helped.

I want to see if flashing it to another rom will work, but I'm not able to do it without Active Sync.

How can I flash it back without ActiveSync or fix this Active Sync connection?

Please guys I really need help on this as I'm running out of troubleshooting steps.

[General Questions and Answers] the.nebular:
Hello all,

I work in IT for my local government and as with many large organizations we provide phones to employees. There have been times when these phones have been returned locked and we are no longer have contact with the employee or they are disgruntled and will not communicate with us. Our phone guy here in IT seems to have things well in hand for apple devices, but Android has him a bit flummoxed. He can set it up securely to work on our local domain for email, skype, the usual microsoft 365 stuff. But the user of the phone seem to still be able to lock the phones using their own google account. If we don't happen to have the password to that account it's going to the shredder (as was almost the case with a brand new A52 5G). I being one who likes to hack phones, the locked up phones have been brought over to me to see if I can bypass the lockout, and I've been relatively successful, but the newer the phone, the more of a problem it is, and overall it's a pain.

So is there an option out there to be able to manage these phones from the corporate level, so that if the phone is ever locked out, it is with the corporate account we have given them and can control from our end, rather than pulling purchase orders to get it unlocked, or bypassing it through flashed hacks?
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Toasty1Too:
I could be mistaken, but it seems as though my G100 has returned to a non-rooted state.

Yesterday morning I was finally able to move the slider for OEM-unlock under Developer Settings.

So I installed Magisk on my device, downloaded a stock firmware using the RSA tool from Lenovo, patched the boot.img using Magisk on my phone, and was able to write that to my phone using the [fastboot flash boot boot.img] command.

And all seemed to be well. I even had my carrier and everything working on it last night and had begun restoring my apps and data with Titanium Backup.

And then suddenly Titanium Backup is reporting it is unable to gain root access. Magisk seems to still believe that the phone is rooted, and Titanium Backup still shows up in it's list. I still see the notification pop up when Titanium Backup launches, saying that it was granted Superuser access. But Titanium Backup has it's own internal popup that says it couldn't acquire root using /system/bin/su

I've tried re-writing my boot.img via fastboot as before, and there is no change in the symptom.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Toasty1Too:
I've performed a factory reset on my device, and the command [fastboot flash boot boot.img] again, and it seems to be working.

Titanium Backup is working, but seems to be unable to restore some things. I've reached out to them to see if anything can be done.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Toasty1Too:
After further investigation, it seems the "root" I have obtained so far with the stock ROM is not really root at all. It does allow some root operations, but many are simply blocked on Android 11 by default.

I suspect my only path forward is to install a custom ROM.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Toasty1Too:
Looked into this a bit more and found that disabling the option:

Verify apps over usb

Under developer settings allows Titanium Backup to proceed for most of my restores.

Also, it seems Titanium Backup is deprecated, so that's fun. Edit: Titanium Backup was able to restore most of my applications after the above change, but many of the restored applications simply don't work.

Going to try out Swift Backup.

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Brandon.Bissonnette:
I've been having that issue as well, since before the update. Freaked me out at first because I rebooted like 20+ times and it still had no IMEI, SIM or WiFi. Finally I decided to reboot it via holding the power button down long enough to force a shutdown that way, upon restarting I had WiFi and mobile service immedately.

Randomly ever since my SIM remains undetected for about 30 seconds and eventually kicks in but WiFi doesn't.

Holding the power button down long enough to force shutdown seems to always fix it for me.

Next time it happens, if it happens, give that a try.
