[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Hi

I want to create a backup of my ASUS Zenfone 8 using images from the partitions which I can then later flash using fastboot to restore the installation

But I do not know which of the partitions are mandatory to backup/restore an installation

In the payload.bin file used to install the ROM (AospExtended 9.x) there are these files that are used to install the ROM:

[root@t540p ~]# ls -lh /data/backup/ASUS_ZENFONE8/payload-dumper/test
total 3.3G
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 96M Mar 11 11:17 boot.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 24M Mar 11 11:17 dtbo.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.4M Mar 11 11:17 odm.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 307M Mar 11 11:18 product.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 445M Mar 11 11:18 system_ext.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.2G Mar 11 11:18 system.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8.0K Mar 11 11:18 vbmeta.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4.0K Mar 11 11:18 vbmeta_system.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 96M Mar 11 11:19 vendor_boot.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.2G Mar 11 11:19 vendor.img
[root@t540p ~]#

Some of the file names match a block device name in /dev/block/by-name but not all:

Spoiler content hidden.

Which partitions must I backup to be able to restore an OS installation to the phone?

Which partition is used for what?

regards

Bernd

[Update 12.03.2022 12:30]

I think I found it:

The physical partitions to backup are (either _a or _b):

boot

dtbo

vbmeta

vbmeta_system

vendor_boot

and

super

The other partitions

odm

product

vendor

system

system_ext

are logical devices (also with the ending _a or _b) on the physical partition super

Would be great if some could confirm or correct this ....
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Rienk:
Yesterday I successfully updated (reflashed) my S10E from Lineage OS 18.1 to 19. Because I did not like the Android 12 look I reflashed the latest LineageOS 18.1. After rebooting the phone got stuck in a bootloop. I could still access TWRP. I tried wiping caches and system. I tried reflashing, but after flasing is done a lot of /data/... (permission denied) errors are displayed and the phone is still in a bootloop when rebooting. I also tried repairing the file system. It says that repairing is done, but after flashing the rom I still get /data/... (permission denied) errors, resulting in a bootloop after reboot.

I don't know what happened. Any ideas what went wrong and how I can fix this?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kisayquri:
I bought the Pixel Pro 6. I paid a total of $970.92. I traded in my iPhone 11 Pro Max for $435, which I got credited so I actually only paid $535.92. I'm on chat with Google support, because I had my doubts, questioning whether I'll be getting the full $970.92 refunded. They insist I will only get $535.92 refunded because I "already received a credit for the old phone" {Mod edit}

But that's just it, the Pixel didn't magically get $435 cheaper, that was them paying me for my old phone. The phone I'm returning I still paid $970.92 for. I just did by giving them a phone worth $435 and $535.92 in cash. I am now returning the phone (the credit having been attached to that purchase) so I should be getting all my money back. Otherwise I essentially sent them my old iPhone for free.

Is the support person just not understanding me? Has anyone been in this situation with Google before? Thanks for any insight.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
That's all I found about this topic. So you'll probably not get your money back, but get a Google Store credit. If the support says you'll "only" get the $535 amount back, they are wrong. You'll get something back, it's just "probably" not cash.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ImpactMan:
Hello!

I'm developing one application in VS2008 for my pocket pc, and I need some help to continue with it.

I need to make the buttons of the application1 run even when the application2 is running and try to control it with application1 buttons, but I don´t know if it's possible!?

For example, is it possible to move between items on "windows mob. file explorer" using the up and down keys/buttons of application1?

The application1 only fills 1/3 of the screen, and I still seen windows explorer

When I try to do it, the application1 came to the "top" and windows file explorer control seems to be disable.

Is it possible? Any tips for it?

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Northernmost:
Have a look into the SendMessage API call. It should be able to do what you want.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Arlanthir:
I agree. You basically need to catch WM_KEYDOWN messages (and any other you want to pass) and send them to file explorer... I think the tricky part is knowing what application is running directly underneath yours. Post here how you did it if you manage to achieve all that :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ImpactMan:
Hi!

Ok, I will post here the code of application. Take a look at it and say something about.

Here goes the code:

Imports System
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class Form1
<DllImport("coredll.dll", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Winapi, CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode, EntryPoint:="keybd_event", SetLastError:=True)> _
Public Shared Sub keybd_event(ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Integer, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Integer)
End Sub
Private Sub ExitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitButton.Click
'Bye!
Application.Exit()
End Sub

Private Sub UpButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UpButton.Click
Const VK_UP As Byte = &H26
keybd_event(VK_UP, 0, 0, 0)
'Up
End Sub

Private Sub LeftButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LeftButton.Click
Const VK_LEFT As Byte = &H25
keybd_event(VK_LEFT, 0, 0, 0)
'Left
End Sub

Private Sub DownButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DownButton.Click
Const VK_DOWN As Byte = &H28
keybd_event(VK_DOWN, 0, 0, 0)
'Down
End Sub

Private Sub RightButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RightButton.Click
Const VK_RIGHT As Byte = &H27
keybd_event(VK_RIGHT, 0, 0, 0)
'Right
End Sub
End Class

Do you think it is possible to control any other application with this?

I don't want only control windows explorer, I want to control other applications, including games.

Tanks for help.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Arlanthir:
I'm not getting what you want to do with it.

You're designing something like a userbar that's always staying on top but letting you interact with the application directly underneath it;

OR

You're making a "remote control" application to send various commands to different programs, which you specify hardcoding.

Now the control is an easy one (at least in C++) but actually getting what application is underneath yours may be tricky. Can't help much more there, specially with another language. Have you searched msdn?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ImpactMan:
Hello.

So, I mean to do a virtual d-pad cause I have one of my pocket pc dont have any!

See this post

This is what I want to do.

I think this will be, like you said, a little bit "tricky".

But, if some one could help, I think it will work.

I don't have many skills programming mobile applications.. so every tips and examples are welcome.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Arlanthir:
What? That changes everything! xD

On the first post you said you wanted to make the "up and down buttons" sent to app1 change app2... Well, I thought you were talking hardware keys here :P

(thus the WM_KEYDOWN event)

What language are you using and in what way do you interact with the touchscreen? Did you understand when I said you had to catch the events?

Basically, you want to catch touchscreen (mouse) events, compare the mouse coordinates to those of your buttons (let's say it was a MOUSEDOWN in the LEFT button area), get the window directly below you and post a WM_KEYDOWN message with the LEFT code to it.

The only problems in doing this in C++ for me right now (I'm also a beginner :P) would be creating a window that doesn't cover the screen and getting the window below. The rest is really easy :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ImpactMan:
Hi!

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 to code it.

Creating a window that cover only 1/3 of the screen, in VisualStudio is not difficult. If you have VS2008, I can send you the project for your email and so you can take a look at it.

If I understand, you can make this work coding it in C++, so we can share both parts... the 1/3 screen window and the way to make app1 control any other app2, cause I have no idea how to make app1 control app2!!!!!

Tanks.

[Realme GT Master Edition] xeltos:
But I have read that removing the default crap would create issues when installing ota updates?
[Realme GT Master Edition] mattia.b89:
Good point.

I haven't tested this aspect, since I haven't had any OTA.

Anyway, I have to do three (+1) observations:

this is a safe list, there are no critical item (that is, no OS parts/components or on which OS relies on, they are mostly simple apps)

with major upgrade OTA, probably it will bring updated apps, which in turn will be over-written (if presents) or just installed (if don't, our case)

this method does not (quoting the second point of the cited guide) "[...]physically remove the apps from your system partition."; this means you can easily restore removed apps anytime i.e. just before executing an OTA update

(BONUS) I have done the same work with my previous phone (MIUI-based) and following OTAs have not caused me any issue
