[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cipposo:
Hi dear friends,

thank you in advance for your help. I have a strange stuation (at least for me) with this box from Foyu x96 mini.As you can see in photo and also written on paper box , it has Amlogic S905W 4G 32G rom, but if i go inside Kodi for example in System it says it has Rockchip 3229... then also on recovery mode on boot mode it states "android recovery rockchip 322x ..... I've tried with Amlogic burning tool but it doesn't recognize the hub connection and it doesn't burn another rom for S905w. I've tried shortening nand pins..nothing

Have you got any suggestions to erase all and burn an Amlogic s905w Rom , considering there's an S905w cpu?? i don't think it's a false one! there's no Rockchip inside!

thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cipposo:
Isn'it strange? Any suggestions?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cipposo:
..seems i found the million dollar question.. the only post that puts in crisis all the forum...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
ive seen amlogic devices recovery reporting as rockchip, its usally just a mismatched recovery, i would try and figure out mask rom mode for this board, see my video here for some info :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cipposo:
Thank you for your kind answer,but i tried also with mask mode,it only sound but no connection. For me it's a fake chip,otherwise why with rockchip tool it normally connects? Also on kodi it's incredibly slow,and in system maximum resolution is 1280*720!! Absurd
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gherghe:
Hi , I have exactly the same problem with a tv box x96 mini locked in the logo screen. If you find a way to recover, please post it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cipposo:
I can't see if yours has amlogic s905w chip,anyway mine it's not locked,you can try with rockchip tool to burn image if you got Rockchip inside
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gherghe:
yes I have a S905x chip, it doesn't look very good but I managed to take a picture.I tried with usb burninig tools but my box is not seen by the computer and I don't know how to use the nand method.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gherghe:
If your x96mini is not locked, you can help me with a stock firmware of your box, to try a rewrite of my box with the sd card method. Thanks anyway for the help. I have been looking for a solution to unlock the box for some time.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cipposo:
Yours is s905w, seems same situation.. i haven't got original firmware,in my case mine is made by Foyu,you can try to find them on internet, i don't know.. don't know why they're recognized as Rockchip..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gherghe:
ok , thanks

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] goodoane:
Well it look like you guys have a fake amlogic like me on the tag is 4GB RAM and 32GB flash store. All the inside chip has been marked like the real one but are fake. Main chip is RK3229 and the ram is just 1GB and 8GB flash. I successfully unbrick this **** using rkfactory tool and a rom for RK3229 chip. step to follow: 1. install rockcip drivers, 2. start factory tool, 3. load firmware in factory tool, 4. conect USB A - A cable to pc, 5. tooth pick in the AV port and pres the restore switch from inside, 6. connect USB A - A to the OTG USB port on the box the port is the one next to the tf card reader, 7, the hub is recognized by the pc and it be detected by the tool factory, 8. flash the firmware, enjoy.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gherghe:
Hi, I tried the recommended method but it doesn't work, I installed the driver but the computer doesn't see the tv box. I installed windows 10 in my computer and the drivers are for windows 8, maybe that's why my box is not seen by I also tried a newer version of Driver assitant v 5.1.1, but it still doesn't work. Thanks for the help anyway.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] goodoane:
Than use this to solve your problem it works 100% if you folow all steps corectly.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gherghe:
Hi, I also tried this method, the computer does not see the TV box. I think I'll give up fixing this box. .It's not worth the effort, especially since it's a fake.Thanks a lot for the help.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] goodoane:
What USB port did you use.? You have to use the port near flash card.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gherghe:
Yes, I tried with both USB ports. I tried all sorts of variants found on the internet, nothing worked. I already lost too much time with a cheap box. I don't think it's worth it, especially since it's a fake box. Thanks anyway for trying to help me. Have a nice day!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] JeffATL:
Is there any way to use the data of the 2nd sim without switching primary sim?

I believe Apple automatically switches to secondary sim data if primary sim data is weak signal

Does Google Pixel work like Samsung devices or Apple device?

This is an important feature of dual sim management that I feel the Note 20 Ultra lacks, perhaps on purpose under carrier pressure. My use case is have Visible primary and T-Mobile internet plan as back up data when Visible is weak but the configuration does not allow this

Hey guys, I got the quake3 running on my xperia, but its not really playable so Id like to try quake2. However I cant seem to get it running!

Downloaded it from http://quake.pocketmatrix.com/ . When I start up the app I get like a control interface with a couple of buttons "Attack", "A", "B" etc. But behind these there's only a gray background. Sometimes the game seems to start, as I can hear in-game sound. But the screen stays the same. Also tried the xscale optimized one but that didnt seem to work either.

Help plz :)

Just tried Quake. I start it with the X1 closed and it comes up but the display is part white i just get the weapon selection bit and the A B buttons etc, I try opening the X1 up and closing it but the display just switches orentation. when i pess the x to close it asks me if i really want to quite, when i press yes, the main display flashes up with 'Single Player' 'Options' etc!

Any ideas anyone?

Installed Quake2. I run the program it comes up with a box saying by Dan East or something, press ok then nothing happenes
[XPERIA X1 General] Agaas:
weell I get a bit further than that but still doesnt work for me neither. Anyone with more luck?
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
I find it puzzling that in general Windows on PC "just works" but Windows Mobile breaks compatibility with even slight changes to the OS and/or hardware.

Why should a higher resolution screen break an app? Does Windows Mobile have no support for dealing with that? Surely you would expect it to detect an app trying to use a lower resolution and put it in some sort of wrapper to pad the extra space.

Its bizarre that even Java apps have compatibility issues from phone to phone. Why no standards so they work on ALL headsets? The whole mobile market is a shambles when it comes to compatibility but Java seems to have a better success rate (well, it usually displays SOMETHING) than Windows Mobile does, despite their being more variations of it around.
[XPERIA X1 General] Agaas:
actually I dont think its the resolution...

Also, wvga has a different aspect ratio. So it makes sence that some apps dont fill the whole screen
[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers] jshortultimate:
I have an A71 that is about a year and a half old. Last week it got stuck in a boot loop. The only screen that I could access was the download screen. So I downloaded Odin and flashed all the appropriate firmware onto the phone and it rebooted back into the boot loop. Am I out of luck? I have 200 bucks still owed on the phone, and dont really want to buy a new one, out of principle, if nothing else. Any thoughts on getting it back up and running?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers] nokia.vertu2@gmail.com:
I had the same problem just now.

So what I did to get to work was:

1. Hold the Volume Up + Power Button until it goes into the Android Recovery Menu

2. Select Wipe Cache Partition

3. Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset

4. Reboot System
[General Questions and Answers] thomassn:
What is the best phone in terms of battery and screen size?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
If it was encrypted, the encryption key gone.

Game over.

Even if not encrypted it will be hard to recovery on a stock phone.

If you manage to recover it the folder structure is gone. A sea of files not necessarily in any particular order and disassociated from each other with no way to restore those associations.

Jpegs with no EXIF data and so on.

No time stamps. You can scan by size and file type but that's about it. Better have one hell of a photographic memory...
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] NTchrist:
Personally I've always been hesitant to provide pre-patched images. People just spam your inbox if it's not up to date five minutes after release. Also, people don't learn about what they're actually doing. I'd never be a developer today if I were just handed all the things I wanted to have and I suspect that'd be true of many of the best developers on this forum. That said, If there's a demand I'll make an updated full guide. Let me know in the comments on my original thread if you guys want that.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
I fully agree with you. I did magisk_patching for old nexus's, oneplus 6t, and a couple of the pixels and I actually didn't get that much spam. But go a ton of spam for system UI tweaks, twrp and such how-tos I posted.

The primary reason I provided a pre-patched one here is because I had a ton of issues getting payload dumper to work on my fresh windows 11. And this was just easier.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] LocBox:
Finally a much more streamlined process, and it works perfectly. That back & forth patching each month was getting too hairy. Not too mention how much faster this device is now which has me into it all over again. This has all been worth it so far in my opinion based off of usage today. no random app crashes anymore , much better UI and control panel across the board, Hell it even sounds louder. I'm really happy with this update and root so far.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] delfuhd:
OK so I've got the AT&T variant (that I use as a secondary device with no SIM) that I've successfully flashed Android 11 onto using the filiphsandstorm script. I haven't reset the phone. Android 11 works fine so far like this. Unfortunately though I'm hanging on the boot screen when I fastboot the patched boot image. If I patch the boot image with an earlier version of Magisk it double boots and returns to the stock image. If I patch the boot image with the latest version of Magisk I get the boot hang. Obviously this could just be AT&T incompatibility but does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone with an AT&T device successfully rooted on Android 11?
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
Dumb question on my part but are you booting the patched image or trying to flash it in bootloader?

Just making sure we are on the same page.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] delfuhd:
No problem. Not flashing, just trying to boot. From

adb reboot bootloader

I'm executing:

fastboot boot patchedboot.img

Trying to flash to the boot partition just gives me an error anyway.

Also, just to be clear, I've tried it with your patched image as well as a boot image that I extracted from payload.bin. Both same results.

EDIT: OK I bit the bullet and did a factory reset through recovery. I wanted to avoid this as it's a pain setting the device up again. However, this solved the problem. I was able to complete the steps above and successfully gained root permanently. Thank you for your help!

This is actually no longer necessary on A11 in most cases. You can do the magisk "install to inactive slot" workflow here to ota and retain root

tl/dr:

magisk > restore images (do not reboot)

do ota (do not reboot)

magisk > install to inactive slot

reboot

done

I've never had any luck getting OTA updates to run even after restoring images, so I usually apply the update through recovery then reflash magisk.

However it seems 2022.215.137 doesn't want boot using a patched boot image. I'm patching the image using 24.3, but I've also tried 23.

What magisk version are you currently running, and is there anyway you could pull you're boot.img and upload it?
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] pvillasuso:
Magisk 24.3 (24300) , I have no clue on how to pull my boot.img , sorry Bro

I can patch your file if you want , upload it somewhere , then PM me the link to download it .

I will patch it , upload it an send it back to you , who knows maybe it works
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] Jyers:
If you wanna try pulling it from system you can use adb like this:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot.img

Then you should find a boot.img file in the base directory of the sd card

Or you could just try patching mine that I've attached.

Thanks for getting back to me so quick!
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] coloredimages:
Posting for posterity here:

I was running into issues with my touch screen not working when booting into the patched boot.img I made from the Microsoft recovery image and not understanding why because they had the same version number, but I guess there was some OTA update that has not been reflected in the recovery image yet. So I had to flash my surface duo with the recovery image, and then use the patched boot.img from that same recovery image in order to get my root to work.

Hopefully if anyone has the same issue this will help.

Does anyone have the boot.img from the most recent build??
[Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion] eqbirvin:
Nevermind, got it figure out.

Build number 2022.517.57 Surface Duo decided to just update without my consent removing root. Used the TWRP to pull the boot.img from the dev/block, manually patch, and then do the install of magisk 25.1.

Couple things to note, the TWRP requires a mouse to interact with it, adb did not pull the full size of the boot_a.img from TWRP the first 3 times so I had to use a mouse to use TWRP file explorer to manually copy the boot_a.img to the sdcard. Then boot into android, patch the extracted boot using magisk 25.1, boot into the patched boot. The touchscreen will not work, use the mouse again to install magisk, then reboot. Once rebooted, touch screen works and wifi works like normal.

Question for @eqbirvin or @pvillasuso or anyone: I just received my Surface Duo and it's on Android 10. I want it to be rooted on Android 11. Can I just follow the guide in OP, or do I need to update to A11 the regular way first, then follow the guide? Additional question, I see that the some people are recently saying there is a new build and they're requesting the patched boot for it, so if I am required to "regular update" to A11 first, will I be unable to root with the current files in OP?

When i boot it normal its working, and if i use the old Patched IMG for Android 11 its booting, but not letting me Patch root with Magisk.
