It Workeddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol!!!

I There Was An Issue Wit 1gb Cards.....woo Hooo!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] dragon29:
I had the same problem with the G1 not finding mmcblk0 using the 1G card that came with it. I had re-formatted it on my windows XP PC but that didn't help; the solution for me was to connect the card to a reader on a recent Ubuntu build, fdisk it to only have a single partition, and then mkfs.vfat on that partition. The original formatting of the card was interpreted as garbage by the fdisk tool - it's almost like they didn't partition it at all and just formatted the whole block device as FAT, if I had to guess.

After that, the -19 update went fine and I was un-bricked.

[G1 Android Development] vincewchan:
I can't seem to get it to work. I've formatted my sd card via FAT and FAT32. I've used the mini sd that came with the phone and another 512MB one I've had for a while. Neither works.<br>

Here is what's on my G1 screen right now.

Any advice?
[G1 Android Development] snoslicer8:
It looks to me like you're on a build that will not allow you to flash the RC29 image...did you flash a test-build? Are you sure you haven't already received the OTA? Check your Device info page (make an AnyCut to Device info) and tell us what your build is.

If it's RC29 or RC30, you're already upgraded.

If you have 'for-testing' or 'test-keys' in the keys line, you've mistakenly flashed a test version of the firmware...the whole "root on RC30" may help you out, as it has the ability to flash a different recovery image to allow you to use other firmware.
[G1 Android Development] darkashram:
I have the same problem as vincew, I received my G1 from a developer and its currently version TC4 RC19 109652 Test Keys. I get the same error and the update won't verify correctly. I don't care about root access or mods or anything like that as I am just a casual user. I just want to be able to get this android to accept a stock rc30 update.

I been reading a lot of threads, so i believe i need to do something with recovery images or along that line, but I'm not sure. If anyone can help me that would be great. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Both of you, this should work for you.

First obtain root: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_Android

Second check out : http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Replace_Recovery_Partition to replace your recovery image with a modified one (so you can reflash with any keys)

Third update to RC29 or RC30: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Keeping_Root

This will leave you with root but someone else can tell you how to resign the official RC30 to flash onto here.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
I've resigned the official RC30 and uploaded it for you. Get it here. Rename it to update.zip (if you have file extensions hidden, just rename it update), put it in the root folder of your sdcard and reboot the G1 into recovery mode (turn on while holding Home+Back). Press Alt+L then Alt+S to begin flashing. Remember that once you flash to ota RC30 you will not be able to revert to any previous version or xda-dev modified versions.

If you want to make the file yourself, get the RC30 update (here), rename it to update.zip. Download AndroidMod.zip (here), unzip it, and run the SignApk.jar on it. You'll need Java SDK or runtime environment installed.
[G1 Android Development] darkashram:
Hi, I tried flashing with your file and it still doesn't work. Here is what I am getting exactly.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Hmm... okay then perform the first two steps in Darkrift's guide. That will put the modified recovery partition on your G1. After that, try the test key signed RC30 again.
[G1 Android Development] darkashram:
haven't tried with the modified recovery.img yet. Would it also work if I flashed the recovery.img from the original rc30 update, then update it with the official rc30 update? Would that restore my phone so I can recieve OTA updates again? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Yeah that should work as well. Copy officially signed RC30 to root of sd card as update.zip and also put a copy of the recovery.img extracted from it on the sd card as recovery_ota_rc30.img. Reboot the G1 and activate telnetd, then run the steps to flash recovery using adb or Terminal Emulator

mount -o remount rw /system

cd /system

cat /sdcard/recovery_ota_rc30.img > recovery.img

flash_image recovery recovery.img

Then reboot phone into recovery mode and you should be able to flash it with the officially signed ota update.
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
That probably won't work with the latest modified RC30 (v1.2). There isn't enough space on system for recovery.img. The startup scripts will flash a recovery image at /data/recovery.img though. But if you're using flash_image, you should be able to flash directly from the sdcard

i.e.

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_ota_rc30.img
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
That's a good tip. I think darkashram is still on RC19 or whatever his dev unit was loaded with though, so it might not be a problem.

Looking at the error screen more carefully, I notice that the reason it halted is it threw an exception on the fingerprint check. The developers device fingerprint isnt on the list of allowed origination fingerprints. So darkashram can simply open a terminal, type getprop ro.build.fingerprint and then add that into the list in the first line of \META-INF\com\google\android\update-script

assert getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "DARKASHRAMS_DEVICE_FINGERPRINT"

or simply comment all those assertions out.

Edit: Here's the ota rc30 with the fingerprint check assertions removed, signed with test keys. Pop into root of sd and reboot into recovery mode to flash it.

Warning: Modified RC30 users should not touch this!
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Yeah, it would be easier to just comment them out, IMO. Don't forget though, you have to resign the zip file.

Another way is to grab the recovery image from the update you want to install and flash that to the phone. The fingerprint check is against the fingerprint in the recovery image. So if you install the same recovery image for the official update you are trying to apply, it should have the correct fingerprint.
[G1 Android Development] darkashram:
I tried that file with the fingerprint check assertions removed and it worked. At first it wouldn't boot past the android screen, but I did a factory reset and it worked after that. Thanks guys for all the help!
[G1 Android Development] bunny0007:
With rc30 or modded rc?
[G1 Android Development] roguetrader05:
Many Many THANKS!!

-rt5
[G1 Android Development] andyandrwew:
This is exactly what i get.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
It won't install because the assertion check failed. It will only allow installation if the current fingerprint of the device matches the ones in the assertion (RC28 or RC29).
[G1 Android Development] andyandrwew:
yep

so i need TC4-RC29 116143 (which is impossible to find because google changed the build number for RC30 for a "better" battery life
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Err... RC30 was released to fix a root console bug. Anyway the point is unless you have a Dev Phone or G1 with modified Android, you cannot install RCxx over RCyy if yy > xx.
[G1 Android Development] andyandrwew:
yeh

truth is that they gave me a RC30 OTA out of the box (weird)
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Thanks for getting my hopes up of an rc30 exploit by bumping two old threads. :p

:( No, there is no way to flash rc30 back to rc29.
[G1 Android Development] andyandrwew:
: (

yeh... if i knew my way around the OS i could probobly make a fake build number as a temporary placement for the original by using the terminal but im still learning and it so far it seems so easy to create apps but for major renovations now is not the time

I've experienced using oppo for short period. I used an Oppo smartphone in 2015. I can relate it was good for the front camera as well as internet browsing. The picture quality was so natural and lively. It was possible to browse for a long time without hanging. I wanna know Oppo F1S now available or not in the marketplaces.

Seriously lol? You might find it from some third party sellers but it's definitely not worth it tbh. I do have an f1s and it does lag even with basic usage as app dependencies have become much larger over the years,
[Google Pixel 6] Bartx96:
I have a question how to update rooted Pixel 6 to latest march update without losing root ?
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
This is covered in the rooting guides for this device and you should be looking there or in the Magisk forum. But in a nutshell, restore the boot image in Magisk Manager, take the OTA, then root the inactive slot using Magisk Manager. Reboot and you're good.
[Google Pixel 6] Bartx96:
Ok but when i tryb restore boot image i have a message "you dont have backup"
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
Please look at the guide section as you've been told.
[Google Pixel 6] DanielF50:
Probably because you originally flashed your patched_boot.img (Magisk) manually from fastboot, meaning that Magisk Manager wouldn't have made a backup. The only way to use the above method would be to have booted a patched boot.img (not flashed) & then while booted, selected "direct install" in Magisk Manager, which would create a backup of the original boot image.

The easiest ways for yourself to update are to either:

Sideload the "ota" file through in the stock recovery, or;

Download the full factory image, remove -w from flash-all.bat and then run the batch file to flash the latest build.

But as above, both methods should be covered in the how to root guides, of which one can be found here.

👍

edit: also, March update isn't out just yet - it's been delayed with no ETA, so this is kind of a pointless exercise until Google release it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Long story short, GF and I broke up, she didnt pay the remaining balance of our trade in, I had no idea she did that and now my fold 3 has been remotely disbled by Samsung, is there a way around this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
Samsung would have entered in to a contract with only one of you. Rather than "our" trade-in, it would have been your girlfriends, I assume.

So, you could contact Samsung and see if you can take over the contract - or start another one?

But, it sounds like the phone isn't fully paid off, so isnt owned by either of you yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Thats my delima, its under my exes name and when I called Samsung they refused to talk any further. I tried to pay it off but they dont want to hear me. Is there another way such as rooting ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Pisses me off, im out a S21 because of this for trading in and using a older iPhone which im no longer fond off since I switched to Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] hkr:
Long story short, send it back to your GF as it's hers and get one for yourself ...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
Can't places like Cricket Wireless activate them? I guess I'm thinking of a device that's carrier-branded, with it being that Samsung locked it, not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Ill ask.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] yygemmi770:
You should check the IMEI against blacklist database. If it was purchased through a provider, chances are it will not work on that carrier, but should on others. If Samsung has it blacklisted, you're basically screwed.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Really frustrating, im trying to pay the balance owed so it can be reinststed, trying to avoid buying another one altogether since I gave up my last phone as part of the trade on this. Samsung doesn't want to talk to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] badazzbubbanc:
yeah but if you dont sign in to a samsung account they cant disable if you put on verzion rom before they disable they cant
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Dont they disable via imei ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Has this been proven ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] badazzbubbanc:
and when you got the email that Samsung was going to disable it you should have signed out of your Samsung account bc you don't need it to get the phone to work bc you can sign in to your google accounts that's a loophole i figured out how on my own bc I didn't know about it until Samsung sent me the emails bc its gotta be signed in on a Samsung account before they can disable it bc its gotta be log in on Samsungs server i got the email in late December and been using it since i have gotten my z fold 3 and also verzions rom splits the iemi number up as it does on Verizon phones bc on gsm the iemi number is all into one and then Samsung can only disable it when your signed in
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] badazzbubbanc:
they can remote lock it if they don't have Samsung account signed in and i also think its doesn't matter what Samsung account i think it only matters to the one that the phone was bought with but i ain't gonna test it tho i don't want a paperweight
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
I like how you think. Thanks for the info
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
I'm pretty sure your EX GF the owner of the phone is the only one Samsung can and will talk to.

If you can still reason with her I think your best bet would be to contact her and try and work something out

its in her best interests other wise it's just going against her credit. Maybe she'll let you take over the phone and payments.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Oh man, shes unreachable and will not talk, ive left her multiple messges it will go against her credit and she said if it does its my fault, makes no sense. A attitude that will drive a man crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Cyrax-001:
return it and go get yourself a new one. No one can do anything for you anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Talderon:
Keep it and use it as a Tablet in WiFi mode since you cannot get it activated and get you a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Vegas7667:
Yup, might as well use it for something. Good idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] curiousboutsammysblock:
wondering if this has happened to a friends device. How do you know it';s been blocked? Does it not boot? Does it boot but has no service bars but is otherwise usable?

a friend is having an issue on his phone. I didn't ask about whether it was purchased this way or what the details surrounding his ownership were. He was stuck on download mode those and I helped him flash it. The first time it was able to boot and seemed like it was working fine. He left and came back and said that after connecting it to the internet its no longer booting. Boot loops and says cmdline parameter modified warning flashed across the top before disappearing and leaving just the samsung galaxy splash. after a few seconds it reboots again. Flashed with chimera flashed with odin, same issue.

Is this what yours does?

I too have had two products that the trade ins were stolen from me before I could send to samsung. In both cases I got the warning emails, but neither time did I have my devices disabled. Similar to the user who posted about having a different samsung or no samsung account logged in, I too had a different account than the one the phone and tablet were purchased under.

Hi All,

Can you tell me how to stop Playstore and playservices framework from updating? I am running MIUI and has kept all settings including playstore to don't auto-update. Since my phone is rooted, I used blocket app to stop update parts in playstore. But despite this it still auto updates. I am aware of the security risks. Is there a way to permanently block the updates on play store and services?

[HTC Cavalier] ibeqa:
First why don't you do a search, it would help you a lot.

IE is slow because WM Smartphones can't close running programs directly (they are only minimised), you have to go to task manager and to close a running program. Now when you start IE it will eat like 5Mb of your memory not to mention media player (10Mb). In onther words your device will freeze instantly. To avoid this you need a program called "Oxios CloseApps" a freeware wich will help a lot as it will stop all running programs and retrive lost memory. There is a cab containing that program here at the forum, but to find it you need to do a search so you can develop searching skills.

As for the other problem that you could not install a program read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=432946 - apllication unlock

[HTC Cavalier] lidor578:
its not the problem..

first,thanks for the advise.

but the slow is not from the ram memory.

its from the open webs

There's not much that doesn't work better on Linux, especially when it comes to stability and reliably flashing firmware but thanks for the tip. I would have used Windows 10 out of convenience.

I've used the Samsung Odin tool (3.09 in 2017) previously on a Galaxy Tablet that uses a programming .pit file that formats and guides the "firehouse" action and the manufacturer's image is put into place using the formatting guidelines of the tool. (The small EDL file goes in one box and the image is selected in the other?) Does this work similar to that but using Google's production images for the Pixel?

[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androbots:
This doesn't seem legit in any way. I think you got them off of Halab Tech and they probably uploaded wrong stuff either knowingly or unknowingly. Binwalking the binary you provided, we can see that it's really just a generic programmer from Xiaomi and strings reveal it's really nothing special:

prince in ~ at Pegasus took 2s
➜ strings prog_ufs_firehose_sdm855_ddr.elf | grep -i attestation

I would be really interested if the firehose actually ever shows up but, AFAIK Google signs firehoses on a per-device basis, so it's technically impossible for one programmer to be cross compatible with even another Pixel.

[General Questions and Answers] KaoDome:
We can flash a firmware directly via EDL and its Sahara protocol, it's also been a while since we can also access the device partition list and back them up through QFIL while in EDL mode.

Xiaomi firmware for fastboot flashing also contain descriptions of the partition table(s) the device has as well as programming instructions and a loader to be used when in EDL (e.g. rawprogram0.xml, patch0.xml, ...).

Using all of those files (or not), would it be possible to create appropriate XML files to back up instead of rewrite those partitions with the new firmware? Assume EDL authentication is not an issue, because apparently some phones come with EDL access locked as well (bypassing it is out of the scope of this, welcomed for those burdened by it, but out of interest). I'm interested in finding a way to back up whatever's in a device through a typical flashing procedure in EDL.

As an example of the files that could be used to begin with I'm attaching some XMLs as well.
