[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Phil_Smith:
Hi there, you really need to provide more info here. No one has a crystal ball and can just fortune tell a solution to a problem you haven't described at all.

So please tell us:

What was the last working condition of your phone (which rom, fw, etc were you on? Was your bootloader unlocked? And so forth)

What did you do then?

What broke things?

What is the exact error message or behavior and where do you see it? (In twrp?)

If you take time and provide all this info, you have a realistic chance that someone (maybe me) can help you fix your issue.

All the best
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Farzad37:
hello. have a good time

first of all, pls get an infinty box and hydratool then try to repartition your gpt(test point or EDL mode) by infinity box and then try to unlock the bootloader and install stock rom .you see the nvram is be back to normal

My Niki just crapped out and I'm thinking about upgrading to the diamond (US model). My question is whether or not this is worth the money?? Any thoughts are appreciated.

what do you/don't you like about it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lord_BlackAdder:
What I like is the compact size that I can comfortably put in a pocket or clip on my belt with a Diamond case. Another nice reason is the built-in support for H.264 (MP4) video playback.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bbobeckyj:
I upgraded a few days ago from the Trinity.

I'm currently just about keeping it. My thoughts are-

Plus points versus Trinity

-

Size;

VGA;

Motion sensor;

light sensor.

I can't think of much else...

Negative points -

Lack of hardware buttons is very annoying;

I think that the screen being 'flush' instead of slightly recessed is bad, so easy to activate progs/call in your pocket, but;

The screen seems to require a lot of pressure to activate;

it lags a bit, but this seems to be a feature of newer deivces, my wizard was the quickest with a 200MHz processor, then the Trinity with 400 then the Diamond after;

I don't like the stock UI, if you don't want the touchFlo home screen, it's awkard to navigate, if you're in a program and want to launch another, you can't, unless you have very long fingers and can reach the start icon and have tha program you want in the menu (such as really close the current app);

buttons, I think having a button which only goes to the home screen is stupid, why not have the button open the start menu, beacuse today is the automatic selected option, I always had a button to close any currently active window (real close not min), a device lock, and wm5newmenu with a lot of shortcuts/commandlines etc. the two phone keys and power key are configurable, but on long press only, and the end key and power keys only with a reg hack;

the scroll wheel does nothing except zoom on a few programs like word and excel, unless you use a reg hack prog and even then it doesn't give feedback, like pressing a button or a scroll wheel 5 clicks would move you 5 places, it's less exact and you have to watch it to make sure it goes where you want. it also doesn't work even with the hacks on some things like the start menu;

I'm using fTouchflo and morscript to overcome the navigation limits, but even fTouchflo is hit and miss because of the amount of pressure required to launch a prog, and as there is no housing around the screen, finding the start of the screen is harder;

Internal storage is not as good as having a storage card 4 times the size, and for me re-coding all my shortcuts and scripts to the 'internal storage' address instead of 'storage card' was a real pain.

I'm assuming that many of the 'problems' i have will be solved eventually by people here and that i will get used to it, so I'm going to keep it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamhere:
i love my trinity too

just flash the diamond and you will be happy :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bbobeckyj:
If you're talking to me (or the OP), I was planning to. I'm on my 3rd ppc now and I have everything setup how I like it, but the diamond seems harder to do it as i like, but it's a better ppc. I'm playing with the settings, then when i have it right, i'll probably flash then.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohaaq:
(I apologize if this is in the wrong forum - I wasn't sure where exactly this should go)

Hey, so I'm looking to natively run Debian for ARM on the Jadoo 4 android TV Box. From some googling, it seems that if I want to do something like that, I need to find an OS image that's optimized for the specific device; but unfortunately I can't seem to find anything. What exactly can I do? Do I really need to find a specific OS image, or would something more general suffice?

Some general info about the Jadoo 4:

Processor: ARM Amlogic @ 1.61 GHz 1 Processor, 4 Core

Motherboard: Stvm8b

Sidenote, I'm very new to installing a completely new OS, so if you have, like, a favourite tutorial for doing that, that would be great.

Really appreciate any help,

Thanks.

What type? Jadoo 4 original, white, stick or quad?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohaaq:
Oh, I didn't realize there were multiple. I believe it's the original, but it might just be the white. It's the one depicted in the picture below.

Anyway, I've found a couple of tutorials for running Armbian on Android boxes with the S805 CPU (namely this one), but when I boot into recovery mode it just goes to the recovery menu and gives the error bad bootloader arguments ("null"). Do you know how I can fix this? Or perhaps know some other method?

That’s the one I have but I like the Jadoo android OS. Here’s the firmware
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icantchooseausername:
Jadoo 4 (Silver Box) Recovery Firmware : JadooTV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

For recovery and data mining of Jadoo4Q or Jadoo 4 Silver box. Warning: formatting will delete all files on the microsd card and recovery will delete all files...

archive.org

If you want to root the Jadoo’s KitKat OS, all models of Jadoo4 and JadooTab are vulnerable to towelroot, and all Jadoo models except the Jadoo7 (and possibly Jadoo1 and Jadoo2 if they don’t use Linux or run a very old version) is vunreble to DirtyCow.

Use Towelroot for any Jadoo4 or JadooTab

Use Croowt for Jadoo5
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohaaq:
Well remember I want to run Linux on the Jadoo4, the stock firmware is already there. Although, I do appreciate you providing that as It may be useful later - unfortunately though It says I don't have access to the Google drive files.

As for rooting, when I try to install TowelRoot, I get a "unable to parse" error. Would dortycow or croowtRoot work for the Jadoo4 as well?

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohaaq:
I disabled Play Protect but I still get a "unable to parse error". I've been able to sideload other apps in the past, so I'm not entirely sure what else to do. Any other suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icantchooseausername:
You transfer it to a usb stick or something and not download it. I used File Manager+ and used ftp to get the apk to work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icantchooseausername:
How did you boot into recovery mode?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icantchooseausername:
You could use the recovery firmware and add all the files but for the image trick it into booting debian via renaming the debian img to Jadoo 4 recovery. Make sure you backed up the Jadoo 4 software and data.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kbtraveler:
I need help from someone a lot smarter than me. First time poster, but no stranger to rooting. (If I break some protocol, please correct me, I want to be a good citizen.)

Background (can be skipped)

I bought a Note 20 Ultra 5G (model #SM-N9860F) from a guy for a steal of a deal. Now I know why. Before buying we started it up and made a phone call, so I figured most everything else would be fine. Took it home and started messing with it, only to find it laggy and exhibiting other odd behaviors. So I went to check for updates before loading it up with my stuff.

But there was no Update button. I tapped "Software Info" and the next thing I saw made me read it three times. It showed, "Android version: 5.1."

Issues

So...

The phone functions but with lag and issues. SIM is recognized, then unrecognized. SIM cannot be used for data (though wifi is fine).

Not kidding, Kingo Root says it was able to root this Snapdragon phone. Root Checker Basic confirms it as rooted.

Using all the various key combinations posted all over the Internet, I cannot get into Download mode. I've tried for days.

Rebooting into Recovery shows Chinese options. (After many days of messing with it I finally found a way for it to show the English list...happy to share how I got there if anyone cares.)

The phone does connect to a Windows PC successfully via USB and can share files to internal and external memory.

Interestingly, the 500GB of internal memory only shows a fraction of it as available. Wondering if Android 5.1 just can't recognize that much space.

Bottom line

I am unable to get into Download mode. When I do get to where I think Download mode should be, the green Android guy is lying down with the words "No command" underneath. Therefore I can't use Odin, or a paid service, or Samsung Smart Switch...even tried the old Kies, since it has Android 5.1 on it. ALL of them require me to get into Download mode, and it just won't go.

Plan B?: I've heard repeatedly that rooting a Note 20 Ultra is (nearly?) impossible. Since multiple apps on my device insist I successfully rooted it, I was hoping I could use the TWRP app (it's installed) to flash something that could help. But I don't know what that would be, or if it would help at all. TWRP doesn't recognize the .zip, .tar, or any other files I've found and copied to the device. Maybe it's looking for a .img? I'm just not sure, and I don't even know what to look for.

Additional info

I've attached a few screen shots and photos.

I'd be ever so grateful for anyone's guidance. Again,

How can I get into Download mode? Seems that would get me back on the paths I know better.

And/or what can I flash using TWRP on what appears to be a rooted device? Would that even help?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Sounds like you got what you paid for, it's probably a fake Note20 Ultra.

From what I can tell, the model & build numbers conflict, they're from different models of the Note 20 Ultra, that's why I think it's a fake.

Even the model number doesn't look right, it has a hybrid Chinese/European model number........
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kbtraveler:
Hi Koliosis,

Yeah, thanks, that has crossed my mind, and that's why I posted those images. If it's fake it's a really good one, but I am aware I could have to chalk that up to experience.

Still, why in the world would a fake have Android 5.1 on it? And it works(-ish)! Isn't that still bizarre? Anything that can be done to force it into Download mode or to flash something with TWRP to at least get an OS from the modern era?

Thanks again...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
There should be several threads/tutorials here that show how to flash firmware using Odin (& of course,includes how to get into download mode).

Before you try that out,have you tried to use Samsung's Smart Switch program on your PC?

Given the information you've posted,it's difficult to determine which model you have,which makes matters worse since we don't want to make a bad situation worse.

I'd start with the Samsung Smart Switch, hopefully it'll be able to determine the make of your phone & flashing stock firmware should be a breeze. (If it's indeed a genuine Samsung Device).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kbtraveler:
Yes sir, and that's my problem. I've rooted and changed ROMs on a dozen devices or more in the past (thanks to XDA!!), always using Odin. But this phone simply will not go into Download mode at all. Using every key combination I can find I either wind up with the Chinese recovery selections I mentioned or I get that "No command" screen with the Android lying on its back.

So far I've tried these PC apps:

Odin (several versions)

Smart Switch

Kies

FixPPO (https://android.imyfone.com/android-issues/android-no-command-error/)

DroidKit (https://www.imobie.com/android-system-recovery/fix-android-no-command-error.htm)

Some, like Odin and the paid options, require Download mode - which isn't working for me - so those apps can even tell I've plugged a phone into the USB port.

Just to put it out there, when the phone is booted into the OS and attach it to the PC, Windows recognizes it's connected but Smart Switch does not. That supports your point that it may not be a Samsung device, but I wondered if it could also have something to do with Smart Switch coming after 5.1 was old.

I just wondered if somebody who didn't know what they were doing somehow downgraded this phone to Android 5.1 before I accept it as a full loss. Still hoping...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Makes since you tried Kies (given the stated Android version).

Can you download/sideload any apps that may help identify the phone (& check for Knox 0x0) such as this one:

Phone INFO+ (SAM) - Apps on Google Play

All-in-one INFO and TOOLS for Samsung devices.

play.google.com

AIDA64 - Apps on Google Play

Hardware and software information utility for Android devices

play.google.com

I wish I had more to offer,it's been years since I've dealt w/a rooted Samsung (Note 5).

Hopefully,others will chime in & offer a solution.

FWIW,Definitely following this thread, I'm interested in how things work out, hopefully for the better.✌️
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] priteshsolanki:
Aah i made an account just to respond to you :)

i had an iPhone 7 Jet Black replica with android 5.1 once upon a time, same symptoms- 8GB actual storage but will show 128GB when connected to PC

So here are my two cents: These devices won't be recognized by samsung tools as they are not having motherboards made by samsung. I would recommend that you check actual specs from AIDA64 and you will find out which company has made the motherboard or device, mine had strange MediaTek processor though. And hopefully you will find some chinese websites where people are talking about how to flash firmwares in these phones but i recommend not to do that, i had to lose my device as it got bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kbtraveler:
Well, that's exactly why I come here. I'd never come across that AIDA64 app, and I've attached screen shots. I've never heard of a "Kirin," but sure enough, it's Huawei. Dang it!

@priteshsolanki, hate to hear about your experience. Thanks for the heads up.

So...does Huawei have a Smart Switch equivalent, lol? And by the way, even if I got this working, would Huawei have enough hardware in this bugger to be able to listen in and send data back to Mother China?? I don't know how that kind of thing works...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] priteshsolanki:
This is strange, i think The AIDA64 app is being fooled here too! To find which company has made it, Its gonna be same experience as finding father of an orphan child which just had permanent memory loss

Its not Kirin, its not huawei.. why?-

So its showing ARMv7 32bit processor, which is definitely not Kirin 1020. because kirin 1020 is a high end processor itself too and uses 5nm technology and Cortex A78 architecture! (While yours is showing stone age 28nm with Cortex A7)

Then there is Platform MT6799. When i look up for that, its again showing totally different company- MediaTek chipset "Helio X30 (MT6799)" which is a deca core processor but what we got here in your details is a Quad core processor.

What we know about your processor:

- its Cortex A7 @1301 MHz and has 28nm manufacturing process

(can't be 5G at any cost)

- From above details it seems like an ancient processor which came out somewhere around 2012, probably thats why its running 5.1.

- The performance is equivalent to high end Android Jellybean device, but definitely not suitable for using in 2022

- The storage and RAM amount shown there are just to fulfill fantasies, dont expect it to be reliable. Its probably a 1 or 2GB Ram with 4 or 8GB storage.

- The software in the phone is really fantastic, i have never thought that a clone can be so perfect that even Apps like AIDA64 will have a hard time finding the facts!

View attachment 5572033

Now coming to the main questions:

1) Can it be upgraded?

90% no based on research i have done in google, this phone is totally non existent for google. for remaining 10% you can expect the rom maker to contact you in DMs after seeing your thread here and offer you an upgrade lol

2) Should you use any file syncing tools with it?

Quick answer: Syncios app is your best bet to sync data between phone and back, but only luck can help you find actual firmware of the device

Slightly long answer: So according to our findings all these data shown in phone settings fake, and syncing apps back in 2011-12 i think its going to give you hard time finding a working one. Android 5.1 in todays time is not something you should be using as daily driver for sure. I suggest you to just treat it like a toy.

About my iPhone 7 back in the day, i bought that one for some 60USD but it was worth it, had some kind of apple music app which never required login but was able to stream any songs for free. so ive used that one out for music only.

I really wish there was a better way to put it, but you can try one last dry hope at needrom website to see if they have any details about this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] samorgs60:
Like has been said, sounds like you got a fake, Software info is one of the first things I would have checked before buying, not after you have bought it and then start having issues. Unfortunately you only really have yourself to blame. like is quite often said if the deal "seems to good to be true" there are reasons why.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kbtraveler:
@samorgs60, you are very right. I've taken many chances like this one on many electronic devices, and to my recollection, this is the first time I got burned. It's kind of like speeding: I don't always obey the speed limit to the letter (number?), so in the past when I got what I believe was an unfair speeding ticket - I was accused of going faster than I was - I dealt with it my accepting it as a balance in the universe for all the times I should have been busted. :)

@priteshsolanki, what a catch! Wow. That is kinda amazing, and would explain why it has 5.1 on it. I'm actually astonished at the quality of the device in every way, other than the obvious.

So I hate to ask this, but...isn't it true that carriers (I won't mention mine by name here) make offers for value against a new phone if your current phone simply 1) turns on and 2) does not have a cracked screen? That kinda seems to describe what I've got right now. Not interested in misleading on purpose, but what is the likelihood this would qualify as a trade-in? If they took it initially, what's the likelihood of it coming back to haunt me (the carrier contacting me about it not being a Samsung)?

Really appreciate the help, guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
It sucks that you got a fake. If you paid with PayPal or Credit, I'd file a claim/dispute and try to return for a refund. Carriers usually log the IMEI of trade ins and if it doesn't match the model or is blacklisted in any way, the trade will be denied.
