I mean ROM firmware. Hey, my radio looks different from yours. Why?
[Android Head-Units] dexisa@:
This can be changed in system settings as well (AC control off).

New ROM was provided by seller (if you want one, I need some time to upload it).

I built UNOFFICIAL DotOs 5.2.1 for my Samsung galaxy j7 Device (j7elte).

But after using it, i experience some random reboots whenever I install a app from playstore or use my phone for 30mins or so. But the phone suddenly reboots.

I'm providing a logcat if it could be useful for anyone to solve this bug.

Let me know if i could provide any other info.

Changelog:

3rd January

Initial build

Notes:

SPL is July 2021

I wont update this rom since neither the rom soure code nor device code will change

IMPORTANT:

This ROM is for EXYNOS BASED S5 MINIs ONLY

e.g. G800F, G800Y, G800M

I also havent applied all patches, so errors can occur
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] windowz414:
Several notes here.

If a tweak you apply doesn't work or applies incorrectly, all you need to do is restarting System UI (Power menu > Restart > Restart SystemUI).

On my personal tests, dotOS uses a dirty hack to enable white QS, which kind of breaks app themes - So I don't recommend using it much.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] CapoFantasma97:
Phone OS: OxygenOS 11 EU

PC OS: Windows 11 x64

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader so that I could debloat my phone, install some magisk modules, and GCam.

While ADB normally sees my phone without issues, it's not recognized in Fastboot mode. In the Devices Manager window, the phone is shown as a generic Android device with the yellow warning sign (only during Fastboot, correctly detected as OP7Pro otherwise).

I tried installing ADB from multiple sources, and even used mauronofrio's Tool All In One to no avail. The guides to unlock bootloader don't make any mentions of this issue, and online I've only managed to find very old unsolved threads for other phones.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] draentor:
So, your system doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot mode ?

Did you tried to uninstall the device in the device manager, then plug it back ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] CapoFantasma97:
Good news, not sure why but today it was recognized, and installing TWRP and Magisk seemed to go smoothly.

I now have another question: this post (from 2019) mentions that I should've not installed Magisk the way I did.

I did the following:

1. unlock bootloader via Tool All In One

2. update OxygenOS via the notification I received, then reboot

3. install TWRP via Tool All In One

4. install Magisk via the TWRP menu and app (using the recommended choice)

What instead the guide says is: after TWRP and Magisk installed, update without rebooting, then install TWRP A/B Retention Script, then install Magisk to Inactive Slot and not the recommended Direct Install.

Could I have issues of any kinds, maybe update related, with these premises? If yes, what can I do to fix them?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] CapoFantasma97:
Nevermind, phone's dead now. I will open another thread about it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] draentor:
I think this guide is outdated.

That's what worked for me (Read everything before beginning) :

Unlock the bootloader

Update to the last OxygenOS version

Use Oxygen Updater app to be really up-to-date

Install TWRP

To do so, get the latest TWRP .img file here : https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus7pro.html

Get the latest twrp-installer.zip file too

It's ready for Android 11, maybe Android 12, I didn't tried

Don't forget to check "Developer options" in system settings

With your phone plugged in your computer, use adb commands and reboot to fastboot with "adb reboot bootloader"

Then, load TWRP with "fastboot boot twrp.img". Of course, you need to put the latest TWRP image file previously downloaded in the same folder and rename it "twrp.img"

In TWRP, go to Advanced then press "Flash Current TWRP"

Done !

Then, follow those instructions :

Wipe -> Factory Reset + : Wipe Data, System, Cache and Dalvik Cache

Install -> Flash ROM : Use the install function and install the ROM

Install -> Flash TWRP Installer : Don't reboot, go back and install as the previous step

Reboot -> Recovery : Reboot TWRP and it automatically load the other slot

Wipe -> Format Data : Click and type yes

Reboot -> System : Just reboot and it should load the installed ROM

Reboot to recovery

Install -> Magisk

Reboot -> System

Install -> Whathever you want

Reboot -> System

The HTC Network Wizard (Connection Setup) should do you the trick for GPRS and MMS settings; its in Settings/Connections/Connection Setup.

[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Greetings, and welcome aboard.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Update: The manufacturer of this tablet, Hot Pepper, Inc., has replied to my formal requests for kernel source and factory images. I was asked to elaborate more on my requests, which I have done. Hopefully they will accommodate soon.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I sincerely wish I had saved the files I had when I owned one of these tablets a few months ago. I actually had the device bootloader unlocked and rooted with Magisk systemless root. I ended up giving the tablet away to someone who needed it more than I did. I had originally pulled some firmware images from the device using a reverse engineered hack tool for Allwinner powered devices. It worked very similar to the readback function of the SP Flash Tool for MediaTek. The link to that tool is now dead as well. But that goes with the old saying with Android of Always Save Your Work. I'll touch base again with the manufacturer early next week. If we can at least get factory images for this device, that will make some development possible. I have some fairly recent porting scripts that can be used to port LineageOS and other custom ROMs.
[Android General] lugnut2099:
D'oh, they might have already ruined our fun. I just got one of these and OEM Unlocking is greyed out. I can access fastboot, but "fastboot oem unlock" only gets me "OEM Unlock Ability is 0. Permission denied."

Under Android version, mine shows a Security Update date of October 5, 2021 and Kernel version "5.4.99 #2 Mon Oct 11 14:45:34 CST 2021," Build Number "Scepter_8_Tablet_V7_20211011"
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Use the command

fastboot flashing unlock

But I see your dilemma. Without being able to toggle oem unlocking in developer options, it won't work.

Do a factory data reset and see if oem unlock persists to be greyed out.

Your build info appease to be consistent with the device I had.
[Android General] Alkuam:
That's odd, the one I've got has november updates and I was able to enable OEM unlocking and unlock the bootloader.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Unfortunately, Hot Pepper Mobile is a bit confused about their obligations under the latest revision of the GNU General Public License v3.0. This is Support's response to my requests for firmware and kernel source code.

View attachment 5518127

As to releasing firmware, the reply is technically correct; because proprietary code is involved, it is within the discretion of the manufacturer to release factory images. However, all manufacturers are required to release kernel source code in order to be in compliance with the GPL. I have sent Support a request for reconsideration along with the relevant portions of the applicable GPL guidelines. Once we get kernel source, we can compile a boot and recovery image.

The following is my follow up reply to the above correspondence:

View attachment 5518149

View attachment 5518151

Manufacturers fail to comply with the GNU GPL license requirements all too often. Because many are located outside the US, the proper venue and subject matter jurisdiction can make it a lot of work to enforce. Because Hot Pepper, Inc. operates within the US, I fully intend to enforce their compliance. (My regular job happens to be in the legal field.) Hopefully, however, Hot Pepper was simply unaware or unversed regarding their obligations to release the source code. I've seen that happen before and once the guidelines are made known to the manufacturer, they release the source code. In the meantime, I'll work on Plan B -- try and locate the Allwinner flash tool so we can dump images. Because I do not own one of these tablets anymore (I plan on buying another one on eBay), I will need testers who are knowledgeable with SoC-based firmware flashing protocols, i.e. SP Flash Tool, QFIL, QPST, Spreadtrum/Unisoc Flash Tool, etc
[Android General] ntwkgirl:
I just got one of these in the mail. Count me in on anything development-wise.
[Android General] lugnut2099:
Well, strangely enough, I just grabbed ours again to try the factory reset as suggested to see if that would somehow trigger the OEM Unlock toggle and, what do you know, it's now available without needing to reset. I can't remember if I'd checked to see if it was there or not after that first failed attempt, so maybe that did it. My wife had added a Google account in the meantime too, so I guess that's another possibility since there wasn't one on it when I'd tried. Shrug.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
These low-end tablets with Allwinner chipsets are always full of more questions than answers. Not to count my chickens before they hatch, but I was just given access to a reverse engineered Pheonix Suite flash tool which has reportedly been repacked to support all current Allwinner-A series devices. I need to install some unsigned drivers on my laptop and I'm going to give this thing a try. I have access to a brand new Scepter 8 for dumping images. Fingers crossed...
[Android General] e.giltmier:
You had it rooted with Magisk? Was going to try that myself-just got one of the devices. Can i ask where you got the "boot.img" from?
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Take a moment and read the thread over and you'll get a better understanding of development status for this tablet. In a nutshell, the tool I once used to pull firmware images is no longer accessible. And I have no copies of those images.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Ok folks now we are making progress on source code. After being forwarded to Hot Pepper's lawyers, my request has now been sent to the actual developers of the tablet's firmware in China. The following is support's response:

View attachment 5522997

So the best I can tell, we will have source code in early February. Hopefully, shortly after. Feb 9th. I'm not having luck with the Phoenix tool so far, so the source code may be our savior here.

OK buddy. 👍 lol

[Android General] Alkuam:
Has anyone had an issue with the tablet's touchscreen not responding?

Just tried booting it after letting it sit powered down for a month or so and it will only respond intermittently. Even tried taking off the plastic "screen protecter" it came with.
[Android General] SunSlide:
Do you have it rooted and what not or is it still stock?
[Android General] Alkuam:
It's rooted.

Tried doing a factory reset in case some setting went funny when the battery went dead, but that didn't help.

It seems to be responsive on the bottom of the screen and a little bit at the top. The middle section seems pretty dead.

I'm considering reflashing to see if that helps at all.

[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
That is also my understanding of FEL mode.
[Android General] Renate:
I went looking for FEL mode test points on my B&N Glow '21, didn't find any, I but didn't look too hard.

I have a hardware console and I can hit "any key" to stop u-boot, then type "efex" to go to FEL mode.

I wrote a proof-of-concept FEL mode client.

C:\>allwin
Found FEL device
AWUSBFEX 00175500 00000001 0001
Model sun8iw15

FEL is much less sophisticated than EDL Sahara.

You need to write different sections of SRAM to get the FES loader going.

The Wiki posted above is not much help on a different processor.

I somehow did something that caused my Glow to do a factory reset.

No biggie, I got everything back to as it was in 20 minutes.
[Android General] SunSlide:
Did it get damaged ever so slightly perhaps? Sounds like a cracked digitizer but I'm no expert. If the issue persists through the factory reset then that leads me to think hardware/connection failure. Did you try the reflashing?
[Android General] Alkuam:
I don't think it got damaged, it has just been sitting in the same spot for over a month and hasn't been touched AFAIK.

Haven't tried reflashing yet.
[Android General] Vincent Foxx:
Just got this tablet for free, but it's running android 12. S/N: MD2207AP130*****

It's very slow, and wanted to root it or find a way to flash a new rom. But all i been finding are instructions for android 11.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Android 12 Go Edition? Nice. I will email my contact over at Hot Pepper Mobile and make a request for the updated factory firmware image.

In theory, the rooting procedure for Android 11 should work on your Android 12 based tablet. The kernel/ramdisk for Android 11 is fully compatible with Android 12. Google now uses a protocol known as the Android Common Kernel (ACG), which separates the vendor implementation from the boot image via dedicated partition. This new protocol will purportedly help alleviate the widespread fragmentation problem with Android-based devices, and make OTA updates simpler on manufacturers to provide. However, I would first need to know your hardware configuration to ascertain that it is the same hardware used in earlier tablet models. There is an app on Play Store called Dev Check Device & System Info by developer flar2. Install that app, open it, grant any permission requests, then tap on the Hardware heading. Post the info pertaining to your CPU/GPU if you would be so inclined. Thanks for your support. Also, if you wouldn't mind, post a photo of the manufacturer's sticker located on the rear of your tablet.

I just emailed the Support Dept over at Hot Pepper Mobile and formally requested the updated firmware image based on Android 12.
[Android General] Vincent Foxx:
If i'm reading this right, it says it has about 2gb of ram?
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@Vincent Foxx, you do have upgraded hardware in your model. Yours is running the Allwinner-A133 chipset. The Android 11 models run the Allwinner-A100. And, yes, you have double the RAM of the earlier models as well. The good news is, the A100 and A133 can both run the same kernel. Speaking of kernel, can you give me your kernel version? I want to double check something first, but I believe you're in luck as far as rooting goes.
[Android General] Vincent Foxx:
Thats good. If I can root this I can extract the img an post it
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Thanks for the info @Vincent Foxx. I have already heard back from my support contact, Joshua G. at Hot Pepper Mobile. He is working on getting me the firmware so I should know something very soon.
[Android General] SamuEDL:
By the way, I don't know if you've tried it. On my tablet (Also with Allwinner A100 and 1GB of ram) I use GSI roms and I have better performance than stock roms. Maybe it's the same on the Q-link. At least it can be an alternative until you have a good custom rom.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yes, I've had a much better experience using the LineageOS based GSI ROMs. Definitely more responsive than stock.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@Vincent Foxx, great news. I have been given the Android 12 Go Edition firmware for the latest QLink tablets. I am uploading the package now and will post a download link as soon as it's finished.

In case you aren't familiar with Allwinner firmware, it comes archived in .img format. In order to extract the boot.img and other partition images, you must use a special extraction tool such as CRB Android Kitchen (available for free here on XDA). If you need, I can take the liberty of extracting the firmware. Let me know.

Android 12 Go Edition/Scepter 8

Build Date: June 7, 2022

Variant: Allwinner-A133 QLink Scepter 8
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@Vincent Foxx, I went ahead and extracted the Android 12 Go Edition firmware image. I patched the boot.img with Magisk v25.2 and uploaded it to my cloud storage. Here is a link:

Patched Boot Image (Android 12 Go Ed. Firmware,)

I noticed in the device info you posted that your active partition slot is _b. Whenever you flash the patched Boot Image to achieve root, be sure to flash both the _a & _b slots as such:

fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
[Android General] Vincent Foxx:
Everthing works great, now i can see if i can make this a bit lag free. If there's any roms i can download let me know, something that's android 10 since android 11 and 12 are buggy imo.

and thanks a lot for your service helped a lot
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
You can always go the GSI route, since the Scepter 8 is Treble supported. I'll get you a XDA link for a repo of GSI builds. They can be a bit tricky to install on a dynamic partitioned device like this one, but there are some good guides posted as well in the GSI forums.
[Android General] Vincent Foxx:
That would be great, i'm kinda rusty flashing with fastboot tbh. I mostly use twrp, but i haven't found twrp for this device.
[Android General] SamuEDL:
By the way, having an android 12 vendor will only support GSI roms from android 12 or higher. So you will not be able to use GSI roms based on Android 10 and 11😅
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yeah @SamuEDL I forgot all about the Android 12 /vendor partition rule. As far as Android 12 GSIs go, what has been your best experience? The only ones I've tried are the LineageOS 19.1/L ROMS.
[Android General] SamuEDL:
In my case, on my tablet I have not had good results with Android 12 (Keep in mind that my vendor is android10 and I have a lower kernel(4.9)). Lineageos 19.1 does not start me and in the AOSP PPH I have a lot of lag).

[Android General] Bubba The Hack:
I've gotta say that I am impressed with this little cheap tablet. While using it with the new setup (Thanks to Viva La Android!), I was able to create a very useful device. This is something that could never be done with a smartphone, if only because of the reasonable screen size.

While using it I noticed that after looking at the screen for a while and then turning to look at my computer monitor, the monitor seemed very dim. Well, the problem appeared to be that it was I that was dim. ;)

All I had to do was to reduce the brightness of the tablet down to a level matching my monitor output, which was more than enough. But I received a huge benefit for so doing. The battery life just jumped way up.

I took the tablet along to an out-of-town appointment yesterday after charging it up almost fully. In a waiting situation, I pulled it out to use it. From that time on until I got back home, it remained on. The screen only blanks after 10 minutes of non-use.

Well I noticed this morning that the thing was still on, but the battery level was still at least 3/4 full! That is really great in my book.

If only the government had required this sort of setup to begin with, people would have had something useful, right out of the box, without the privacy risks of google.

@ScarletWizard, let's move the Lineage GSI discussion to here please.
