[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] NRG-ONE:
I had already tried from my mac to use the command from terminal:

adb sideload magisk-v25-2.zip

To root the phone... but it didn't work... it told me it couldn't find the path...

So now I flashed from zero the original firmare again... and i'm not sure if I have to reinstall TWRP to root with magisk the phone... I diden't touch anyithing about screen lock...so what I have to do to install in the correct way TWRP and then Magisk regarding the screen lock?

E D I T:

Ok now I made the procedure again and it worked!

I can use now the screen lcok function with a PIN code or not if I want to continue to use TWRP in future without issues?!?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
If you want to be able to access your internal storage in TWRP you'll have to live without a screen lock forever. Otherwise feels free to set a screen lock.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] NRG-ONE:
Does it's the same also If I use another Launcher (not One Ui) and I use the screen lock through it?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] schreistein:

[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] NRG-ONE:
I just installed a third party lock screen ("Lock Screen iOS 15 Style" app) and after I lock the screen with this app, if I go to recovery mode, TWRP works without the folders encryption issue,,, I can see my folders without any problems...
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ShaDisNX255:
It should work fine with 3rd party lock apps as you describe. The problem usually is with Samsung/Knox when using the regular system lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] NRG-ONE:
Also if you debloated all Knox packages as I made?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ShaDisNX255:
Doubt it'll make a difference
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] NRG-ONE:
In this case I will Continue to use my third party app to lock the screen 😉
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] danii26:
Thank you very much friend, it has worked 100% for me, the problem I had was that I did not have the OEM unlocked, I realized because on the download mode screen it appeared in small letters :JAJAJA::JAJAJA:(y)(y)

Can we update stock rom using twrp? Dirty flash method i'm on 4.1 OneUI and my phone on TWRP and rooted. I'm wanna update the stock rom since 2022 i dont updated it
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
No, you can't. The easiest way would probably be to modify the stock firmware TAR files and remove recovery and vbmeta from them, then flash them using Odin.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Empgamer:
Must admit I'm just about to part company with the TyTn. I've been impressed with it to a degree as a PDA but I do think the phone element of it is atrocious. What makes it worse now is that there seems to be problem after problem with it, especially after the 6.1 upgrade.

Latest problem is that today it just seems to slow down, lock or even freeze completely. Going to contacts and hitting a contact in the list doesn't open it up any more and problems just seem to start from there. Once this happens I can't close programmes, can't navigate in them, in fact can't do anything, at least until the damn thing seems to catch up with a key press I made 1/2 an hour ago. Restarts and battery removal seem to fix it for 1/2 an hour or so but then it's back to lag and lock. Sick and tired of it now.

It got turned off and on again while connected to PC by USB and not sure if that's caused it but overall I'm getting quite fed up with the device and the WM 6.1 combi.

Contemplating a hard reset or even re-flash (possibly back to WM6.0 but the problems with SPL reversion put me off that) to try to fix what has just become a bug ridden pain to use. :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveShaw:
Did you install Hard SPL to upgrade to WM6.1, or are you using your Carriers ROM?

If so what version of Hard SPL are you currently using?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
Dont forget that its not the phone´s fault but M$ and HTC. They build the crappy roms. I have cooked rom on my kaiser and I am more then satisfied with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MACkjam:
Absolutely nothing wrong with mine and I've had it since Jan this year.

Whatever problem has occurred has been as a result of my installing some app that conflicts with something, but I have aways been able to rectify matters.

Runs like a well-oiled machine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] EnsconcE:
Same here, though i have this device since may this year. I have to say that a flash with a custom rom improves the quality of the kaiser. Carrier roms are slow and full with programs i do not use.

My only remark is that the phone reacts slow on phonecalls. It takes a second or two before the phone rings when you are called. Besides that, the phone responses slow when i end a call. So the reaction time can be improved. Still: that's my only remark and i do not even know if that is a phone or os related problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Ditto, I've had mine a year and it's a champ. Either your spl is wrong for 6.1 or your phone is sick and needs to go to the phone hospital.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] udi1:
No problems with my device and I am taking it to the limits daily.

If you need a solid fast reliable smartphone - you can sure find better then this.

but if you look for a device that can be configured to fit exactly your taste and needs with the best support ever (yes, I'm speaking about the XDA-Dev forum) keep this one.

this is the ultimate device for those who are seeking for constant improvment and willing to invest some of their time in it (flashing flashing flashing)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Empgamer:
Well I'm glad for those that are having a better experience than mine. Mine is still pretty dismal though.

Like an idiot I just followed the instructions from HTC for installing their 6.1 and haven't touched SPL. It was all working fine (of sorts) yesterday (despite the fact that I wished I had not upgraded to 6.1) andf then it just keeps locking up. Using SMS and hitting to accept a word offered by predictive text guarantees a lock as does opening contacts and selecting a contact. Will look at the SPL issue but didn't really want to be tinkering with that as I wanted to keep it all stock from the warranty side. At the moment though I suspect even the warranty will not cover it when I hurl it against the wall from having to do the 25th reset of the day.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stevebonning:
I suggest you do a hard reset; then install Hard SpL and go to WM 6.1. Once SpL is installed there will be very few, if any, problems with the device.

I`ve lost efs. Can`t get it back. the phone stuck at bootloop. tried to restore using adb command. it seems that is flashes back the modemst1 modemst2 but after a reboot they are lost again.

I also have qcn backup. but I`m not able to do anything with it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] runekock:
If it happened spontaneously, then my bet is on a hardware fault.

If it is the result of something you did, then please describe as much as possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pixelfuchsia:
I did it and then the phone stuck at bootloop. I used TWRP for erasing EFS. Nothing helps like flashing different version of factory images. except the android 11. for the first boot the phone starts with no imei no wifi no mac address then if I reboot for the second time after flashing android 11. it bootloops again
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] runekock:
Sounds like you've got a backup - if so, it should be possible to restore.

I haven't been in that situation myself, but I would try fastboot, something like described here:

How to Backup and Restore EFS Partition on any Android device

EFS is a partition on your Android device that stores all the important data associated with your phone. For instance, these data include the IMEI number,

www.getdroidtips.com

But this is for different phone, so you may have to change partition names.

You're missing the big picture though. Without some kind of encryption, anybody can eavesdrop on your dns lookups.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] craznazn:
That's the whole point of DoT... DNS over TLS. Why bother with DoH when DNS over HTTPS only adds an additional layer of crap over the existing TCP stack? Don't try to solve problems by moving up in the OSI layer.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Except for the fact that most networks intercept traffic on DNS ports, and in some cases most/all ports that are non-HTTP. Like it or not, EVERYTHING is being moved to port 443 because if you block or intercept that, it is immediately obvious that the internet is broken.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] craznazn:
What kind of network are you on where "anybody can eavesdrop on your dns lookups."?

"Most networks" do not MITM or block DoT ports. Maybe some sketch wifi, but you have bigger problems to worry about at that point.

If an adversary blocks DoT 853/8853, no queries resolve, internet is broken.

If an adversary MITMs DoT, cert fail, internet is broken.

DoH has the added complexity of HTTP headers, allowing tracking and other privacy issues if implemented poorly.

The inventor of DNS prefers DoT over DoH,

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1047613817541120000

Think about why big tech wants you to use DoH over DoT....

Still not sure why you would even WANT to have DNS run on the app layer instead of transport.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
yeah on home network my DoT is handeled by my firewall but over mobile networks or public wifi I use DoT via custom dns in android
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
I think they both have a place. Many times DoT port is blocked on corporate networks, but I guess you can use something like RethinkDNS at that point. Still an interesting discussion to say the least.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
The fact you aren't aware is reason enough for changes in how DNS works.

Hello
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Pugzi:
Recently got my PADI open water, and therefore has anyone seen an application for the Pocket PC that does dive planing?. Any divers who know.

UPDATE I've found "Reef Log" and "Dive Assistant"

Anyone used these?

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Zakkosekk:
I tried Dive Assistant on my Diamond.

It seems to have the necessary stuff though I would like some more options.

However, when I tried the GPS option, where you can save your position, it completely fu**ed up my GPS. I was not able to access the GPS via HTC GPS tool or TomTom before I did a hard reset.

There are no PADI dive table available so you'll have to create it if you want the program to calculate the residual nitrogen index.

There is also a windows version but I have not tried that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Pugzi:
If there are no dive tables then it certainly is not worth it, thats the primary reason for it. I'm bound to lose my tables, but my phone is my life (almost) and I certainly don't want to hard reset, it's such a pain to get all my stuff back on it.

Thanks anyway for the information

Any Idea of what's wrong ?

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Quercy:
I have exactly the same problem on my OneNeplus Nord 2. I installed the MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers drivers in auto mode and even in manual mode under Windows 10. When I type adb reboot recovery the smartphone reboots in recovery mode even if it tells me seems strange see photo (sorry very small text...) but then no other orders are accepted. Same problem in bootloader mode. So I can't unlock the bootloader. Any help is welcome...
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lolwuz:
Hey I had the same issue with fastboot device not showing up. Fastboot with other devices on my PC had never been an issue.

This Fixed it for me:

Open "Device Manager" from the Windows start menu.

Your device should be listed there as "Android Device" (with a yellow indication for missing driver)

Right click the device and select "Update Driver".

Click Browse my computer for drivers.

Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.

From the list select "Android Bootloader Interface". It is possible that you need to deselect the "Show compatible hardware" button.

Good luck. :)
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] joljol:

[General Questions and Answers] Ali_Shaikh744:
My phone has an unlocked bootloader. Rooted. Custom ROM (lineage OS Android 10). I want to underclock and undervolt it for increased battery but the current kernel is not capable of that. I am thinking of flashing a custom kernel but it appears most custom kernels for my phone were developed a long time before Android 10. Would it be safe to attempt to flash a kernel for an older Android version? If it were to not work, would it result in the possibility of a completely bricked device or would I be able to boot into TWRP and load a backup (do TWRP backups store the original kernel?)?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Canny1913:
it would Hard-Brick or Soft-Brick.

Softbrick would happen because mismatching android versions will cause it to not boot.

Hardbrick would (unlikely) happen because custom kernels contain a device tree blob which if corrupted/incompatible would completely hardbrick the device. Not even fastboot would work because the little kernel (the kernel that handles fastboot/recovery/normal boot) for some reason stops working if the device tree blob is not working.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
@Ali_Shaikh744

Android doesn't have an own kernel: In the world of Android its kernel is a modified Linux kernel matching a device's hardware. Using a wrong kernel makes the phone unuseable.

As said the Android kernel per se does not exist, but every manufacturer maintains a different Linux kernel for every device. This is partly due to the fact that every manufacturer cooks its own soup and wants to stand out from the competition with a special feature. Sometimes it's the driver of the camera module, which is not freely available, but usually the graphics drivers and many other modules remain closed source.

The Anroid recovery has it's own kernel and you can boot an Android independently of the boot partition ( i.e., booting up/from the recovery partition - that's what you do when you boot in recovery mode ).
[General Questions and Answers] Ali_Shaikh744:
So what you are saying is that boot has its own kernel and recovery also has its own kernel therefore only the boot kernel will be changed if I were to flash, meaning recovery will still be accessible?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Once you install TWRP device's Stock Recovery gets removed. So before flashing a new Linux kernel you might have to flash the full stock firmware to your device to get the Stock Recovery along and remove TWRP thereby.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Why don't you just boot your custom kernel over Fastboot? The bonus is that if it doesn't work, you can just reboot into the working kernel on storage.
[General Questions and Answers] Ali_Shaikh744:
I thought old Samsung devices don't support Fastboot? I tried for multiple hours to get my device to reboot into fastboot mode even when I was using the stock kernel, stock OS and stock recovery. If I attempted "adb reboot bootloader" it would restart but go to the OS rather than fastboot. Even trying to get it into fastboot with the new OS doesn't work. I tried rebooting through 1.PC, 2. LineageOS settings, 3. wifi ADB shells through another Android device but nothing worked. Finally I came across information that old Samsung devices don't support fastboot :(
[General Questions and Answers] Ali_Shaikh744:
But what is the problem if I were to flash using TWRP rather than stock recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
That's the 1st time here you say a Samsung phone is involved. Yes, Samsung devices doesn't know of Fastboot mode , the Koreans use the ODIN / Download mode instead.
