[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] GbnrVR:
Hi my name is Gavin if you've been looking in the OnePlus 8T forums I've asked some stuff about smart watches I found the galaxy watch4 and I wanna know if I can unlock the bootloader and root the watch it runs wear OS so it should work if you can root the watch please send me a step by step guide
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] GbnrVR:
Would this work?

1 go to boot mode or that one menu that allows you to access the recovery and click unlock bootloader

2 after the device factory resets you setup the watch

3 go to Android recovery

4 download magisk

5 on the watch go to apply update from ADB

6 rename magisk apk to magisk.zip and ADB sideload magisk.zip would this work? If not can someone figure out why? Or if you already know put why this wouldn't work put it in a comment thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] adfree:
Short summary.

- No Combination Firmware leaked

- No Stock Firmware leaked

- No Service Manual nor TP for USB connection...

So no dump of Firmware related Bytes from Watch...

IMHO this means if you do tooo much adventure...

A

You kill Knox... so few Samsung Apps and Features not work anymore proper...

B

You kill FOTA Chain...

IMHO bad... as no Firmware leak

So if you have success... no newer Firmware...

C

You kill Firmware and you need Firmware for Repair attempt...

NO Firmware exists.

Please remember this is Android 11 based...

Best Regards

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I'll admit that my knowledge of sqlite operations is basically on a need-to-know basis. Generally I can find what I need to know online, but I am stuck with this.

Consider the two databases shown in the attachments below. Very lame, but easy to think about. Database 1 contains a few objects and their colors. Database 2 contains a longer list of objects (including all the objects in Database 1) and their "rough" shape categories.

I would like to copy the shapes from Database 2 into Database 1 where there is a match between objects. So, both dbs have "ball" as an object. Database 2 says a ball is "3D". I want that information copied into the "shape" field in Database 1. Etc.

I have seen examples of copying entire tables between databases and copying columns between tables in different databases, but nothing this specific. So far my bumbling attempts to arrive at the right syntax have not been successful.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
SQLite statements do not operate on 1) tables in different databases 2) PNG graphics.

How 'bout attaching a (single) example database with two tables or an SQL example with table creation and values?

Edit:

CREATE TABLE Shaped (_id integer primary key autoincrement, object text, dims int);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("dowel" , 1);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("plate" , 2);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("ball" , 3);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("brick" , 3);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("block" , 3);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("board" , 2);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("needle" , 1);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("pyramid" , 3);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("disc" , 2);
INSERT INTO Shaped (object, dims) VALUES("barrel" , 2);

CREATE TABLE Colored (_id integer primary key autoincrement, object text, color text, dims int);
INSERT INTO Colored (object, color) VALUES("ball", "blue");
INSERT INTO Colored (object, color) VALUES("block", "yellow");
INSERT INTO Colored (object, color) VALUES("disc", "silver");
INSERT INTO Colored (object, color) VALUES("needle", "silver");

UPDATE Colored SET dims=(SELECT dims FROM shaped WHERE colored.object=shaped.object);

SELECT * FROM Colored;
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Yes, indeed, that does it. I clearly have misunderstood the use of ATTACH and the examples I've seen of its use.

So I just need to import the additional table, make my updates and then delete the extra table.

Thank you!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, I didn't know about ATTACH, so there!

All SQLs are not created equal.

I don't think that SQLite supports UPDATE ... FROM, which is why I phrased it as a subquery.

In any case, if it's not big and you're only dealing with working tables why not ".dump" and transfer the table to the other db with copy/paste?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
It's big... That's why I was hoping to avoid the extra import. But that's what computers are for!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
Hi all,

I believe the original motherboard for my RN5 whyred went bad (spontaneous reboots) and so I found a replacement for it - but it is a RN5Pro whyred board. Since they are both whyred, I figured it would be ok to replace the RN5 with the RN5Pro board. The boards look identical and they're both whyred, so why not? Right?

I made a nandroid backup with OrangeFox (9.2.3 I think?), swapped the boards, everything booted great with the new board. I unlocked the bootloader, installed a slightly newer version of OrangeFox (10.0.3) and then restored the nandroid backup. It restored without any errors, but when I tried to boot it - then the problems started. Since there was no logo or anything to see on the screen, I thought I hard bricked it, but MiFlash saw it and I was able to reinstall a stock MIUI 11.0.3 image. Now it boots, but I have a few questions/issues:

1. It doesn't recognize the SIM any more. It did recognize it when I first booted the new board, so I know it's not an issue of the board not recognizing the SIM by nature. Maybe the nandroid restore bonked it? Not sure what I can do at this point besides asking for a replacement SIM. Any ideas?

2. Is it not possible to restore a nandroid backup from the RN5 to the RN5Pro? Or do you have to use the exact same version of recovery to restore that you used to backup? I would really like to not have to reinstall and reconfigure all my programs, which includes 2FA apps that will be a pain to refresh.

Any help is appreciated,
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
OK, so I put the SIM in another phone and it works fine. So the problem is somewhere else. Can anyone point me in the right direction? The new board definitely recognized the SIM before I restored the nandroid backup and now after a stock ROM reflash, it doesn't recognize it. Driver?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] drnightshadow:
Persist partition and 1 more are corrupted... Search it on xda
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
Thanks for the reply. I found some resources for flashing the persist partition. Which is the other partition you suspect of being corrupted, or how can I discover that? Is it the modem partition/non-HLOS.bin? I've already done the regular stock ROM flash through fastboot, so the 'normal' partitions have already been rewritten. What other 'special' partitions are there besides persist?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] drnightshadow:
Ha, you have them CCA 28 partitions. You need to find out by your self. Start with persist, vendor,... Most common ones than less common. Maybe you should try flashing under EDL mode. I would advise you to check which partitions did restored and start there.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
Wow, no idea there were that many. I haven't been this deep into the phone before.

I see there is a file called partition.xml in the fastboot images directory, I assume that is the full list of partitions on the phone (but there are 64 entries there)? Do you actually check them all for corruption, or just try to reflash them all until it starts working? Some of them do not have a filename listed. Not sure what to do with those.

<partition label="apdp" size_in_kb="256" type="E6E98DA2-E22A-4D12-AB33-169E7DEAA507" bootable="false" readonly="false" filename=""/>

The 'flash_all.bat' file (that did the flash that got it working again) looks like it flashes 24 images by default, so I guess there aren't too many others to try.

Any links you can refer me to, to understand how to start poking at this? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] drnightshadow:
Start with EDL MODE and flash all.... Check and search 1st how EDL MODE works and how to get into it... Read a lot before you'll mess with your phone... for persist you need to patch file (like notepad++), very simple and for the rest like I said read a loooooot..

But if you use OrangeFox recovery than you should only look at those partitions + persist.. For everything else you need research by yourself, sorry no easy way out.

BE CAREFUL DON'T LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER OR YOU'LL GET EVEN MORE TROUBLES !!!!!

Good luck.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MadK9:
You should be fine flashing 2 files, persist partition and modem file.

Extract the files from the fastboot rom installed in your device.

Please read and document yourself how to flash those files.

Modem file is called "NON-HLOS.bin" and is fastboot flashable.

Persist partition is recovery flashable by OrangeFox.

The best part is that you managed to hardware repair your device! The software part is easy.

Take care and good luck!

Follow @drnightshadow advice also.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
Thanks for the info. I tried both items, flashing modem from fastboot and persist from OF, but it didn't change anything. :(

So I tried an EDL flash, but it won't flash persist.img. It recognizes that it is sparse, but still gives me a 'ERROR_BAD_FORMAT' error and that is the end of that. Reflashed persist.img from OF, no results. Tried a regular stock fastboot-based flash with no tweaks and now it won't flash the modem with the error:

error:FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

There's really not much left in the images directory that isn't already flashed -

* ddi.elf

* misc.img

* lksecapp.mbn

* uefi.elf (but that looks like a bootsector kind of thing)

My Google-fu is not strong enough to find any mentions of the first three images or what they are used for.

I do note that rawprogram0.xml mentions a lot of partitions that have no files associated with them. I'm a bit wary of just dropping those images into there without a good reason to do so. But again, Google is not helping here.

Any ideas before I toss the phone and go buy a new one?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MadK9:
Oh, man... I'm no expert at all and really cannot help anymore... There are more android experts here then anywhere else on this web and still your issue found no fix. In my opinion you should try to flash the factory image, the rom which your device came. I did encounter the issue when flashing went wrong a few years ago. No other image was flashable! Had errors with more recent ones but when I went and flash the factory image, my RN5 came to life.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
I did that and it did come back to life... except for not recognizing the SIM.

There is a lot of help here on xda, but I guess even that has its limits sometimes. If you or @drnightshadow don't have any other ideas, then I guess it's time to get a new phone. A shame really, this one lasted me about 3 years and I've had no reason to replace it until now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MadK9:
No, you tried and accomplished a lot! You should not give up just because of us. We're no experts. Just try to look and search for similar issues but on other brands! Try this approach. And even if you buy a new phone, continue to look for solutions in order to have a RN5 functional again! I remember I even lost imei and all mac addresses for bth and wireless... Not quite like your issue but similar. Only flashing persisit partition brought my device back.

SIM not recognized after flashing at DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified.

L.E.

You could also try to flash persist partition from other rom version, older or newer from stock images... an idea, something else to try...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] eisenbergw:
I'm thinking - I got into this problem because I tried to restore a nandroid backup from the first board to the new board. I'm wondering if there is something like an IMEI or other 'burned in' identifier that got written in and now the phone has a mismatch so the OS won't recognize the SIM as being installed.

Fortunately, before I started doing anything with the new board I did a nandroid backup of what came shipped with it (I unlocked it and put OF on it first, obviously). A bunch of reading I did today made me think about the efs partition - I had restored persist and modem, but not that one. So I did a full nandroid restore of the clean backup, including efs. Rebooted and it went straight to fastboot, would not boot. No problem, used MiFlash to put MIUI 11.0.3 cleanly on it (no tweaks). When it booted after that - the SIM is back! Woo-hoo!

I'm guessing the EFS partition has something to do with it, but I'd have to do more reading to understand it more fully.

In any case, I have a usable board again. *finally*.

For the record (and for anyone else that might have this problem in the future):

* restore original clean nandroid backup (but probably only needed the *efs* partition)

* forced to do a stock rom install via fastboot (used MIUI 11.0.3)

** got use of the SIM again!

* flashed twrp in fastboot to be able to flash OrangeFox from inside twrp

* updated firmware to latest stable v12.0.2

* flash Lineage 18.1

* flash Magisk

* wipe caches and dalvik

* install gapps

* wipe caches and dalvik

* reboot to usable phone

Thanks for being part of the journey!

Really, really happy for you man!!!

Well done!!!

Yesterday was about to do more research in order to find a way out for your issue but had something else at my job, only downloaded a fastboot rom and was trying to find that troubled partition, even to tell you about efs... And now, the good news from you is that you were busy and had success!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] wolfyj1:
I am having problems using GPS Joystick on my Tab S7. It intermittently disconnects and send me to my current location and always does that when I try and use a GPX route. My tab is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 SM-T870, Android 11, with the stock firmware. I rooted it with Magisk 23.0, Smali Patcher and I use GPS Joystick for location mocking. Someone on the discord said the stock firmware is preventing it from working properly and I need a custom ROM for it to work properly. The suggestion was to install ArrowOS, I assume this is a custom ROM. Do I have to start all over from the beginning or can I install custom ROM where I am at? Does the custom ROM wipe everything and have to add it all back in? I only use the tablet for playing games and I don’t need anything fancy. Would ArrowOS be the best way to go for this device or any other recommendations? All advice is welcome and thanks in advance for any assistance.

I tried to uninstall magisk via twrp flashing boot.img but only appeared the fastboot screen, so tried to restore stock rom but still on fastboot

Tried MiFlash, XiaoMI tool v2, MiFlash Pro with so many fastboot roms, flashed custom roms (included the aosp derivates and the latest miui eu) and still no luck, at least twrp and custom recoveries works fine

Please help, I already spent to many days trying to fix it

Edit: Tried to flash vbmeta again and now it works
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] fonzacus:
uninstalling magisk is pretty hard nowadays, even when uninstalling via the app (which also flashes the uninstaller)

something is very wrong since you redirect to fastboot

did you format data?

try flashing the vbmeta at the bottom of the post

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-from-zero-to-hero-basic-usage.4321395/#post-85497845

what were the results when you flashed stock using tools? have you tried fastboot instead of using the gui tools (often verry buggy)
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] RyogaIgnored:
Basically i tried everything in the guide and other xiaomi guides (Except flashing via EDL), in the gui tools always show as "Success" and via fastboot all seems to be flashed correctly but still got the fastboot screen

Edit: Trying one more time with another vbmeta and instaled dotOS, Now it works
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] fonzacus:
just a side note, miui >12.5.x were built to be more picky with everything in general. you mightve been blocked by miuis avb (custom vbmetas workaround this) when you were sent to fastb

hence why twrp 3.6.x includes an advanced installer option (workaround this and other brands)

as for trying to fully uninstall magisk, lots of others (including me) failed lots in the past on 23 and canary (and other forks), reinstalling again seems to fix it

thankfully you got it up and running, tho id recd something other than dot, i and others found it battery heavy for some strange reason ;P
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] xXchizaXx:
good night in my case what happened to me is that I was cleaning the files see formatting the folders through orange fox recovery, after doing everything quietly I went to install the official rom of miui 12.5, because previously I had a custom rom of android 12 and I saw many problems with said rom anyway. I do a deep cleaning and proceed to install the official rom It gave me a very bad feeling that in the process it will restart in recovery at the end of everything, so I reinstalled the rom and instead of falling into recovery it falls into fastboot and restarts and It does not let you enter the recovery but goes directly to fastboot. The pc detects it as android and the tools only throw that code that it gives in the attached image. please a hand for this poor devil I don't want to lose such a good phone.View attachment 5650943
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] fonzacus:

so many questions

its a very delicate situation youre in. which orangefox? which miui rom? is your os really winxp? what does device manager see your phone as?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] xXchizaXx:
Fortunately, you can install the Miui through the flash ROM, but unfortunately the Miui 11 version blocked me from starting up again, so I can't put any more ROMs in it.

Now , i never seen that error in my life so will try to help you as i'm always flashing Stock ROM on my Redmi Note 10 (why? don't know)

download again 12.5.4 Fastboot ROM here

use mi flash tool 2021.2.26 here

make sure to write the correct path to the ROM Folder in MI Flash

make sure you have all drivers installed

i flashed MIUI Fastboot ROM so many times with that Flash Tool version... give it a try !

pd : don't use clean all and lock... use clean all... if you want to lock the bootloader do it later

i can suggest 2 things :

1- Flash the partition wich give you the error manually via fastboot and then , try with MiFlash again

2- Try on other computer or install the O.S. again in another partition of the hard disk so you won't lose your data...

Yes there is a newer version of the MiFlash Tool... you can try it but I didn't tested yet : MiFlash 2021.08.13
