[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DigFor:
Hey,

i want to analyse the partitions of my Android Emulator using Autopsy for a prototype i am developing. I started with the userdata partition. However, it seems like that the partition does not contain any data, even though i produced some data (installed apps, phone calls, messages, browsing, etc). It is basically "empty" besides the default stuff that was already there before producing data (see the picture at the bottom). I dont really understand why this is the case. I also tried to reboot the emulator as i thought that the data i produced might be cached somewhere and is written to the userdata partition during shutdown (i checked if the generated data is still there after the reboot). Still, the size of the partition did not change. Other images (not created by me), which i analysed using autopsy during my digital forensic class, contained way more data in der userdata partition and were also produced using an emulator. Besides the AVD Emulator i tried the Genymotion Emulator. Nothing changed except the mapping.

This is what i did to extract the userdata:

1. Launched the emulator (latest API Level) and generated some data

2. Checked the connection via ADB (adb devices)

3. Become and verify root (adb root; whoami; id)

4. List the partition mapping (adb shell; ls -l /dev/block/mapper/)

emulator64_x86_64_arm64:/ # ls -l /dev/block/mapper/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 2022-03-26 11:09 by-uuid
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2022-03-26 11:09 product -> /dev/block/dm-2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2022-03-26 11:09 system -> /dev/block/dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2022-03-26 11:09 system-verity -> /dev/block/dm-4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2022-03-26 11:09 system_ext -> /dev/block/dm-1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2022-03-26 11:09 userdata -> /dev/block/dm-5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2022-03-26 11:09 vendor -> /dev/block/dm-3

5. Extracted the partition (adb pull /dev/block/dm-5 /DESTINATION_PATH)

6. Renamed the file to .img and created a new autopsy case

I expected the image to atleast contain data within the /app and /data folder.

Also: I would like to know if there is a possibility to extract the whole file system using the ADB only.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

I got my friends phone that is stuck in Crashdump mode and wont boot to any other like fastboot or recovery any Idea how to fix it ?

Never encountered anything like it so I have no Idea how to fix it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Cats_PJs:
Get MSM tool running on your computer. The phone can be showing crash dump mode. Connect phone with USB, hold down all three buttons. Might take a few tries but the tool should recognize the phone and flash the stock rom and lock the bootloader, then just do whatever steps you like from there.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Alex Beh:
Hello, I am facing the same issue. Initially I can fastboot and select the Start option. It helped to boot into the system successfully without any issue, but few minutes later it happend again and now I cannot even boot / fastboot the phone. No response after press the power button. May I know what should I do? Can I recover my data? Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm trying to get the list of installed packages in post-fs-data.sh for further processing, but the command pm list packages returns empty list (no error).

Am I doing something wrong?

I tried also in service.sh (in case post-fs-data is launched in a too early stage) but it's the same: returns nothing.

Any help? Thx

Hi, I own a LG G6 (H870) and would like to flash /e/OS on it but the bootloader is locked and LG stopped supporting their unlocking bootloader site in december 2021 so I wondered if someone here knows how to bypass their unlocking bootloader system...

I know some people managed to unlock G8's bootloader (https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-lg-g8...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/) but I didn't find anything for the G6 :(

Thank you in advance
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tracid1987:
I would like to know too. missed the deadlline. It would be so beautiful to flash a debloated ROM after replacing the battery to a brand new, repairing the fingerprint sensor and applying new protective glass. To breathe new life into my phone :)

I bought a g6 one month ago coz i loved my last one.

Now I just dream for an unlock solution :cry::cry:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Sphone-man:
I feel u bro, I've bought a g6 2 days ago and when I tried to unlock the bootloader, I couldn't believe the truth 🥹🥲
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Google Geek:
Well my friend I'm no genius n I unlocked my lg k51 2o19 n still use today on os #13.it was simple using the ouk code which is printed on the plastic card your sim came attached to then replaced sim then activated Developers options to which allowed me to unlock boot. I'm not sure if you changed or replaced original sim with a replacement if that OUK code will or will not unlock it,it may need to be done with OEM sim.give it a try but don't give up the answer is out here.i unlocked 8 of my own devices just by reading n a few scrap sim cards no tools. Good luck.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Please don't introduce misinformation. The PUK code is not used to unlock the bootloader.

I'm very interested in this sentance:

"You can use the JAR archive format to package files even if you don't want to sign any of them. In this case, you won't have any signature instruction files or digital signature files."

Lets hope that Google doesn't force signed files.

[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
First link went over my head... I think it is too late for me to be thinking that much LOL

I think the wiki explained what I already know. You have a private key only you know. And you give the public away with the message. The private key encrypts a file that can only be decrytped with the public key and viceversa. I think that is the easiest way to say it. If I am wrong stop me now.

I kinda get how to create keys but I am so clueless to java... is there an idiots guide or program to make the pair?

The last two links still go over my head. I understand how it works but still not sure how to make the hash's. Even if I get the pair... how do you make a hash? And is there a program that will make it easier? You give it the Private RSA and the folder and it makes the manifest and the Cert files? HAHA I am asking for it to be way too easy.
[G1 Android Development] quedijo:
You're right about PKC.

Actually IT IS way too easy. That first link is a description of what the structure is. As long as you have that understanding you could use packagers in java to do all the work.

Hashing is proabably the easiest part. There are numerous programs out there to make SHA1 hash keys. If you have the time listen to this podcast it describes Hashing in a understandable way.

http://media.GRC.com/sn/SN-035.mp3

But "some" work will be required ;)

I'm still looking and will try to make some instructions. Beleave me, I've searched all over the place for hashing and other stuff.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
I have two programs. HashCalc and cyohash. I use MD5 hash all the time. I just wonder if we can make something that will hash all the files in a folder/subfolder and put them into a text file like the manifest. And then use our private key to put them in a cert file.
[G1 Android Development] quedijo:
Yes, that is what XML is for or even PHP.

Java has a million of them.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] RamiBot:
Hi, I would like to get your help.

I have a BT Near profile (BLE), which preforms periodic scans. It works/triggers only when the screen is on and phone is unlocked.

How can I make it work when screen is off and phone is locked?

Phone: Oneplus 7T

Android version: 11

Build: 11.0.6.1
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] PhilipTD:
Hi, what is the profile designed to do?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] RamiBot:
The profile looks for a specific BLE MAC, which is a beacon mounted on the parking gate (waterproof and with a battery that lasts for 2 years). If the profile is triggered, it sends a HTTP post to IFTTT which controls my RF transmitter which sends RF command that opens my parking gate (:

This profile is activated when I'm connected to the car BT (and disabled when I'm not).
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] PhilipTD:
I thought maybe I could help you to find a work around if I knew the setup. Unfortunately, that is not the case

[General Questions and Answers] BAWC:
Hi folks, I apologise in advance as I am totally new to the rooting and modifying android terms but I am looking for some advise if this is the right place or even pointed into the right direction. I recently purchased a Oneplus 9 which as far as I know came CN with Google (as advertised) I was looking to root the device and change the imei, part of of it is me being slightly paranoid and from reading a few peoples opinions on forums this is something they would recommend doing.

Basically I was wondering how would I do the above, why should I or maybe why shouldn’t I

Again, apologies and thanks again for any help

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkrts:
GameLoop is an Android Emulator which has two different variants

old GameLoop based on Android 4.4 (i am NOT talking about this variant)

new GameLoop based on Android 7.1.2 (i am talking about this variant)

In the setting of GameLoop there is an option about "abd debugging" and "root authority"I activated both of them.

If we don't activate them, the emulator doesn't shown in "adb devices"If we activate them, the umlator shown in "adb devices"

And we can use other adb commands.

But, it is not enough. In the emulator we cant use root authority.For example, we cant use titanium backup application.Because, root management apps don't work properly (magisk, supersu vs...)Becuse, supersu binaries is absent

I can not use root access in the emulator.

i have watched nearly all the videos on Youtube

i have read nearly all the articles on the web

Still i can not do this!

it's been a matter of pride for me

I am not a developer,

If a developer prepare an article how to do this , or record a video, i can do this

Please help me?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cris840:
In fact, you can use rooted adb on gameloop 7.1 (AOW Engine) And you can install supersu, replacing the binary with adb -e push

The problem is that by doing that, all calls to "su" will trigger a driver_exception BSOD because there is a driver blocking it (AOW_DRV.SYS) Unfortunately there is no way around this as the entire AOW Engine runs on that driver. I guess Gameloop devs did this to prevent cheaters from using apps like Gameguardian that require root. Unfortunately so far there is no way or any method to do it, I'm just waiting for someone to do enough RE to the driver to bypass it.

Gameloop has another engine based on Virtualbox (Standard Engine) The latter can be easily rooted via adb. Even with a little work you can unpack android_system_disk.vdi and patch 2.img (boot image) to install magisk and then repack .vdi again.

The thing is that you will not be able to play games like PUBG or CODM on this engine.

The grace of this emulator is being able to use it to run games, I know there is no other that compares to it, but unfortunately the only alternative to be able to play and have root access is to use bluestacks 5 or you can also downgrade the version of gameloop to the one based on android 4.4, but this version is currently obsolete for current games and it's even worse than bluestacks in performance, it also doesn't support more than 60 fps

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ProfEngr:
OOS12 update appears to have broken some functions of basic apps. Can I switch back to the other slot and get my last ROM back? On their community forum the only rollback option is an APK downgrade that wipes the phone.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xtcislove:
As far as i know there is no option to rollback without loosing data.

But you can backup your apps using OAndBackupX and copy everything else to your pc.

Anyway imo oos12 is the best experience i had with this phone.

What are your problems with "basic apps"? You might like to fix these problems instead.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ProfEngr:
That's what I was afraid of. Maybe they'll get MMS worked out or I'll figure out what's messed up eventually. That was the major issue. The cosmetic things are different, but not a problem. First time it's wiped out all my home screen browser shortcuts during an upgrade too.

SMS via group is going out to each member as a non-group message. And being returned as the same. MMS (pics) seem to be acting as normal from OOS11.

My Mi 11 lite starts up but has no touch function so, having reset all data, I can't go any further than starting screen of setup procedure. I tried restarting the device in safe mode but nothing happened. Same problem. I opened it up and the motherboard clearly overheats, other than having a broken signal cable and nfc pad (bought it second hand). No signs of repair on the motherboard itself other than a capacitor/resistor loosely connected. I doubt it is only that capacitor that is making all of this. Is there any schematic I could potentially look up to?

Resco Audio Recorder or Vitto Audio Notes can certainly do the job
[Touch HD General] attig:
efla,

We konw that these two apps can do this, but normally not on htc devices because they are hardware limited to make recording the third party impossible.

Have you tried these two apps on the HTC Touch HD and found them working (both ways)?

I tried Resco Audio Recorder and it works, but ... it jammed the callers voice during the first seconds after picking up.

There's another (built in) way to record a call, not convenient but working: when established, press home to get the display, then menu, create note, menu again, show record bar, then simply press the red button to record.
