[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] doveman:
I created a TWRP compressed data backup of my MIUI 12.5.2.0 install before updating to MIUI 12.5.4.0 (RJGEUXM), so I have files data.f2f2.win000 through to win019, totalling 16.7GB.

When I try to restore from the backup, it gets to about 256MB before failing with an error "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"

I made another compressed data backup after updating to MIUI 12.5.4.0 which is 1.42GB (2.7GB uncompressed) and I get the same error when I try and restore from that.

If I adb shell in and try "tar -tvf data.f2f2.win000" on either backup, it lists the files but says "tar: invalid data format" at the end and if I try -xvf it gives the same error and doesn't extract anything.

I just tried creating an uncompressed backup, which still creates data.f2f2.win000 files (larger than the compressed version of course) and that backup restores OK. Even so tar -tvf still returns "tar: invalid tar format" after listing the files.

I note that the two backups (compressed and uncompressed) that I've made after updating to 12.5.4.0 include a data.info file, whereas the 12.5.2.0 backup doesn't, but that's obviously not why it is failing to restore, as the same error happens with the compressed 12.5.4.0 backup and I should be able to extract the files manually anyway.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] doveman:
Using Cygwin and manually extracting each winXXX file with "tar -xvf data.f2f2.winXXX /data/" I was able to extract the files.

There were a lot of "tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'TWRP.security.fscrypt'" messages but I don't think they're critical.

The only files I had trouble with were win006 which did extract a bunch of files but at the end it said:

"gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"

and win017-win019 all returned:

"tar: /data: Not found in archive

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors"

I can't open those three files with 7zip either, which opens all the others to show a single file, data.f2fs, inside.

This is the folder structure I have after extracting all the files.

In the app folder, there's a few "normal" named folders like "com.ebay.carrier-72Ce4Q1jyCAZ9I8KRjGzyA==" but most of them are like this:

View attachment 5495805

and then under those folders there are "normal" named ones like "com.google.android.apps.youtube.music-ZodmP_UIgBUs8QSLxYe2sw==". Presumably this is something to do with the encryption but I guess I'll install some of the apps and see what folders it creates and maybe I can just copy the ordinary named subfolder into the app folder.

I guess I'll still need to do what it says here to find the userid for each app and then chown and restorecon each one, so it's still going to take much longer than if I could just restore the TWRP data backup normally. https://www.semipol.de/posts/2016/07/android-manually-restoring-apps-from-a-twrp-backup/

Sorry, I just realised I posted this in the wrong sub. I'm using a Poco X3 NFC, not a Poco F3. Perhaps a mod can move it for me?

I was using Orangefox before and then I lost root by allowing the phone to update to 12.5.3 and after that Ofox couldn't decrypt the data partition, so I couldn't back it up and without root I couldn't backup my data with Titanium either.

I couldn't find a way to restore root or get Ofox to decrypt data (at least not without risking the data being deleted), but after being stuck for a while, I saw there was a new vversion of TWRP which was able to decrypt data, so I used that to make a backup of it, after which I updated to 12.5.4 and installed Magisk to root it. So it's usable again, I just can't restore the backup that TWRP made using TWRP.

I've had mixed success restoring some apps by extracting the TWRP backup with tar on my PC and then FTPing the files across to data/data/ (after installing the app normally from Play Store) and then using the commands here to chown and restorecon but that doesn't work with all apps.

Android: manually restoring apps from a TWRP backup :: semipol.de

Since an issue with the keyboard freezing for Android disk encryption was fixed in the Omnirom code base, I was able to upgrade my system again. Unfortunately, the system didn’t boot anymore without a factory reset. Therefore, I finally found out to manually restore individual apps from a system...

www.semipol.de

What seems to work more often is taking an existing Titanium backup tar.gz for an app and deleting the files and replacing them with the ones from my TWRP backup and then restoring the data with that in Titanium. That doesn't work with everything though ((e.g. Revolut and Barclays), even if I do the chown and restorecon commands after.

I've taken this as an opportunity to reduce the number of apps I have installed, as I didn't really use a lot of them anyway, so I'm just restoring the apps I really use. The only one I haven't been able to restore the data for is FTX. It does actually work initially and shows my profile but then it says there's an error and wipes it and tells me to create a new profile, so I'm just going to dump it and use something else, like Coingecko.

It's extremely slow copying the extracted files from the PC to the phone, whether I use SMB or FTP, so using an app like this to extract them on the phone if possible might be a better option,, although the extracted files and the Titanium tar.gz really need to be on the PC to use that approach, as it would be much harder/slower to try doing that with the files on the phone.

i just bought a used o2 exec I want to flash it but when i looked in device info it says my radio version is 0.00.00, is this bad? It looks like its the orignal o2 ROM, everything else looks fine...

ROM version: 1.30.107 WWE

ExtROM version: 1.30.162 WWE

and my bootloader is version: 2.01
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] OllieD:
Unlocked...

Radio ROM Version 0.00.0 Is A Special Radio Used To Unlock The Device.

My Guess Is That They Unlocked It Before Selling You It And Didnt Reflash The Radio.

Next Time You Flash Your Device Flash The Radio Rom Aswell.

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 11418521:
Hello!

I have a Panasonic p55 novo running stock Android 4.4.2. It has a lot of Google bloatware which causes the phone to lag terribly. So once I tried to debloat it via setting up ADB and running command adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name >

but adb says something that user 0 not found or something like that. So I searched and found in some other forums a reply which said this is because multiuser feature was first introduced in Android 5.

My question is if the normal command is not working with KitKat devices, is there any other alternative command / method to debloat it? Any kind of script or an old command or a completely different method.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

1. To uninstall apps you basically run

adb uninstall <package name>

2. To uninstall system apps phone's Android MUST be rooted, partition /system MUST get mounted as RW

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wkJason:
Hi, anyone has this issue with pixel 6 pro. It only happens on video from YouTube and very intermittent. Does not happen to the same video. Have not seen it in full screen or on other apps. Very strange bug or is it hardware issue in which case I should get a replacement
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I'd suggest to use safemode and see if it still pops up then, in that case I'd contact Google. Of course you could always try a factory reset, but that's a heckload of trouble and wasted hours...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wkJason:
The hard part is that it happens only once a day or so that I struggle to capture it. So I'd probably have to run on safe mode for a long while, I'll see if I can get Google to replace. Cheers
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
I've never had that, I'd RMA that if I were you!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] selayan:
I definitely had that happen last week when I was watching Youtube! This was after a factory reset too so I wasn't sure what was happening. Same exact thing, lines flashed across the screen just like yours. I have not seen it happen since or perhaps I haven't been watching enough videos on the phone since.

Have you contacted support, and what did they say? I'm kind of scared to contact them with all the outsourcing now and other stories I've been seeing about them not being as helpful as they used to be.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iliya8801:
I also had this problem happen only once, watching a youtube video. maybe it can be a software glitch?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] selayan:
I'm not sure but am wondering the same thing. I was not able to get a hold of Google support but will try after the new year. If the OP can see it happening randomly I bet it is happening randomly for us too but we haven't caught it again. It looks like those old CRT TV's. I unfortunately was not able to get screen recorder open in time to capture when it was happening.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iliya8801:
There is no need to record your screen. you can send google the op recording :)

I hope google will fix this phone.. I guess that is what you get for being a Tensor early adopter.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
I just had this happen too for the first time, happened to quickly to get any recording of it. Also on YouTube as I was adding a video to my watch later. Are you using Vanced by any chance? Maybe it's just the software glitch with that?! Hope there's no hardware fault going on here...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] selayan:
I am using the regular Youtube app since I pay for premium. I don't think its related to any app as the OP said it also happened on other videos.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kooper100:
Also have this happen to me somewhat often (once or twice a day), but it's only ever in the youtube app. I'm using the YouTube vanced app and It's never happened in any other app.

Interesting.....let's hope a fix is on it's way at some point...

Have you guys noticed a graphical glitch in Google photos? When in landscape and the video is paused and you scroll up from the bottom of the screen for your settings, a glitch appears!

It was first mentioned in Reddit.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
I've had the same thing, but it appears at the bottom of the screen (it's happened a few times, maybe 5 or 6) - and for mine it was about an inch high. It was really odd - never seen a glitch like that before. usually you can tell if it's the display or software but this was very similar to op's - and it stayed for like 10 seconds. using Brave Browser, not watching a video (pixel 6 pro on december build)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] vPro97:
YES YES YES! Thank you for the post, OP!

This wasn't an issue till about five days ago and it only occurs in the YouTube application! It's difficult to reproduce, but usually having a video running, opening the comments section then successively minimizing and maximizing the video (in Portrait mode) can trigger this error.

I suspect it has something to do with a change in refresh rate, since this particular change causes just that.

It's not annoying to the point I have considered turning the phone back, but it's mildly concerning especially since the first time it occurs, you're unsure whether it's a hardware or software issue.

I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe do something when/if you want to update to Android 12.

If still on Android 10, stay there, 11 and 12 will puke on you.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
Wait a bit and look over forums for those using 12 on the same device or related models.

What's to gain vs what's to lose?

Review what they are saying before you make your decision to pull the trigger.

The forums can be much more useful than the review sites to get a feel for the product.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Bartse:
Good morning,

Yesterday I tried to assign a program to the hod hang-up key function. Somehow another program cooked into my ROM overrules this setting though. This program can be found in settings --> system tab and is called "Hold end-call key" (freely translated from dutch official ROM) and can be used to either block my td, end all connections, set profile or go into fight mode.

Does somebody have a workaround for this issue, cause I would really like to assign another program to this key.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I decided to unlock my tank firestick which has been sitting in my brother's TV for some time.

I've managed to this as I have already done my own 4K stick previously, so was nothing new.

However I've noticed the tank firestick is on the latest firmware.

I'd like to install a Debloated ROM if there is one available as it is quite sluggish compared to my 4k.

If there isn't a Debloated ROM available, does anyone know of a tweaked ROM that works best for this or a debloat script I can use on this?

Much appreciated 😊
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Nelliel:
Okay sorry for coming here with this, but I've searched for a way to resolve this on my own and can't seem to be able to.

I'm using Octavi Rom on my Redmi Note 10 Pro, and I recently tried to do the update from 3.0 to 3.2. I use TWRP custom recovery, and ofc no device decryption, so I had issues wiping dalvik/cache. I already assume I did something wrong because everyone else was able to install fine. My device didn't boot loop but from the first time it loaded, I had issues logging in because my settings crashed, system crashed, my phone is very slow, and I have no idea what to do to fix it. https://hastebin.com/osihiyibal This is the log I get when the settings crashes.

Can someone give advice on what I can do? I can't open device settings *at all*. I can't wipe data or do a factory reset. I would just like some help because my phone is pretty unusable sometimes in this state, and not sure if I can wait for A12 decryption to be a thing. Thanks in advance.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Stew2022:
If you are okay with losing everything and just want a clean install and use the device you can try the following. If you already have TWRP installed but are getting the decryption error, Go into TWRP go to Wipe, Format data, Type yes, then click the blue check mark. It should clear the decryption and you can do a fresh install of whatever operating system you want to install.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Nelliel:
Thank you so much! You're a life saver. I was able to reinstall the rom with no issues by wiping the data. Everything is working great too. Like having a new phone all over again, but I don't care. So much better than the crashing and slowness. <3 Thank you!

Hi, I just have a few questions

1. You used the EU Rom from this thread right? And if so are you receiving OTA updates? According to a different thread on this topic, people are having to use the IN Rom in order to still receive OTA Updates.

2. Are apps like Google Pay working, and other functions of the phone like NFC and 5G working?
[Realme GT] unparalleled82:
1. I used the EU ROM, which is .a09 I was on the ui3 Chinese ROM.

After flashing the ROM I have done an ota update and am now on a.17

2. I'm not sure about Google play as I've rooted the phone and this version of magisk doesn't have hide, so doesn't work

Everything else that wasn't working on Chinese ROM ui3 is working.

Vowifi, volte, NFC, Android auto 5g(no switching problem) all now work 🙂

I was considering getting a new phone before this, as so many features were annoying me or missing on the Chinese ROM.
[Realme GT] kjpern:
Hopefully, my final question,

I can't seem to find a way to unlock my bootloader on ui3, may I ask how you unlocked your bootloader?

The only solution I can find at the moment is to downgrade to android 11 ui2 CN Rom .A24 and then unlock the bootloader through that way since the deep testing app for unlocking the bootloader will not install on ui3 for me.

Thanks in advance!

(ps. I don't have the app already installed, I have checked 5 times already.)
[Realme GT] unparalleled82:
You might need to downgrade back to UI 2 as I unlocked my bootloader using deep test before updating to UI3. (Yeah I looked at that after I had gone to UI3 and it said it was already installed, but couldn't find it or search for it either)
[Realme GT] kjpern:
Hi again, what am I ment to do from here? This is after doing the fourth step. @unparalleled82

[Realme GT] kjpern:
Well, something has gone wrong. when rebooting it only seems to go to the realme UI recovery :( I didn't want root so I could use Google Pay. I am not sure what do do now. Should I wipe data, and try to redo the whole thing? (edit: if you are a newcomer and see this message, be sure to look at page 2 (spoiler: it worked!))

Try the command

If not then wipe the data, see if it boots.
