[Realme X3 SuperZoom Questions & Answers] stole018:
So, I was trying to downgrade my Realme X3 Superzoom yesterday and it went really bad... I flashed the old stock rom somehow from colorOS recovery, but I got an infinite boot loop... I have been trying to flash rom from EDL mode because my phone's bootloader is locked and I can't enter the fastboot mode... But the problem is I can't find stock rom in .ofp file format that works on my phone and in tutorials on youtube they have only one raw and one patch file, I have like 5 or 6 of both in some roms I have tried. I have been using Miracle box but sadly I got some random errors when I try to flash rawprogram0 and patch0 with a programmer (in .elf format, idk if that is a problem). I hope someone will be able to help me :/

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jebraham:
My son tried to root Oneplus 8 Pro and failed, i tried to fix it and failed even harder.

Somehow the entire phone HD got formated and the phone was stuck in a bootloader loop or something similar when i got it.

Gooled a little and after a while i understood that MsmDownload Tool is what im looking for.

I checked for a suitable version of Oxygen and i think i picked the EU version but im not sure.

Anyway, after trying a few times i managed to install something, maybe oxygen or maybe a new bootloader im not sure to be honest.

I got a popup window telling me that the OEM Unlocking switch will be turned off.

The phone booted up and everything is working again, almost..

Now the phone says no simcards inserted, but there are working simcards in simcardslot and

i cant turn on OEM unlocking so i cannot redo the installation of Oxygen.

Anyone that can help me here?

I can't find any post here about spoofing the MAC adress , I mean what's the use of the Root if we can't spoof the MAC adress is there anything we can do for that ? For example there's old method using BusyBox and android terminal emulator does that work ?

I have Xiaomi Poco x 3 pro custom recovery by TWRP and Magisk root
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Haldi4803:
Doesn't Android12 use a random MAC adress whenever it connects to a WiFi?

So why would you need to spoof that?

But IIRC thats against XDA Rules, so thats probably why you don't find anything about that here.

Hi all.

As per his thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/help-please...install-com-android-settings-via-adb.4466173/

I have soft-bricked my Nokia G10 and am trying to re-install com.android.settings . The methods I have tried there have reached a dead end.

My new plan is: in recovery mode I can install an apk via sideloading. If I could somehow get a copy of the com.android.settings apk from an existing (functional) Nokia G10, I could just sideload that onto my phone and voila problem solved.

So my question is:

Is anyone out there with a G10 willing to extract com.android.settings.apk from their device and send me a copy? :)

This should be straightforward following a guide like this one (quote: )

I can't do this from my own device as adb is limited to the 'sideload' command and cannot run 'shell' in recovery mode.

Thankyou!

Any alternative suggestions or ideas welcomed.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
I can get it for you but I doubt that the system app can be pushed through adb.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] PlasmaJJ:
Thanks mvikrant97. I really appreciate that.

Unfortunately I recently decided to just go with the factory reset option however as I needed to be able to use the phone, so it will no longer be required.

You have to look at the logcat to say why it won't install.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] paggps:
Hello,

Today I have received Tasker V6, and I was very happy to find that it is now possible to turn ON/OFF Airplane Mode easily. It works great.

Now I want to turn ON WiFi while Airplane Mode ON, but I Tasker says that it is not possible to toggle/change WiFi since API 29 [while in Airplane Mode]. Which is weird, because I can do it manually since years.

I have tried inserting the instruction Airplane Radios before, but Airplane Radios itself always returns "Error: 1". This is with all the possible combinations of checkboxes ticked. There is something wrong with "Airplane Radios"? Or it requires root to work?

The ultimate goal I want is to put my phone fixed into VoWiFi (voice over WiFi) when I am at my office, which has a very bad signal strength.

I am using Tasker 6 on a Galaxy S22 Ultra. No root. Android 12.

Thank you very much.

[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] qwiri:
I've been doing at least 2 years of research trying to figure out even the slightest possibility of rooting Qualcomm chipsets, and I think I might've found it. Does anyone here think it's possible to use QPST and EDL to flash a modified stock rom with SuperSU in the system directory to root a locked bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] vanish0104:
What device are you trying to root
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] qwiri:
A42 5G purchased from Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] vanish0104:
https://xdaforums.com/c/samsung-galaxy-a42-5g.11705/

If the bootloader is unable to be unlocked then you can't root it. It's that simple.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] qwiri:
Not necessarily. I can guarantee it's possible to root it because you can in fact load ROMs without unlocking the bootloader. I'm just curious if you can force the rooted rom into the system without the bootloader rejecting it.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
Yeah, sure... if you can crack the EDL protocol instead.

AFAIK (at least on OnePlus) it lets you write to all flash partitions, and I'd assume that also means the ones that hold the crypto signatures used in trusted boot. You certainly could modify certain partitions, sign everything again, and create an image if you knew the format. Not listed in AOSP, though, like building your normal custom ROM.

Disclaimer: I've only ever gotten a custom OS with locked bootloader on Pixel, though (Calyx OS, modified with a few OS code changes and the Magisk stack) but I don't think that's a QC phone to have EDL in the first place.

Now Samsungs are notorious for the e-fuses and whatnot, so it may be they have some asinine defense against it... I stopped dealing with vendors that don't outright support custom ROMs (basically down to OnePlus, Google, and Asus if you can afford one). My life has been much easier for that.

Now of those, Verizon usually has a custom firmware to support their bands, which DOESN'T let you unlock bootloader. Some people have reported on some (OnePlus) phones flashing the international rom via EDL lets you overwrite that... but not sure if it loses the 5G mmWave and sub6 bands or whatever VZW uses that the rest of the world does not have.

Hope that helps...?
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] vanish0104:
A locked bootloader means that it will refuse to load unsigned code. It's checking for system integrity and rooting/loading a custom ROM will always trip this check unless the custom ROM has the proper signature and I highly doubt it does.

Verizon phones are known for being locked down. There is nothing you can do.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] qwiri:
I am definitely aware of that, but if you aren't flashing a *custom* rom and are just using a stock rom with added files, does that still change the integrity?
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] qwiri:
Thanks for that. I honestly don't mind losing 5G, it's constantly an unstable connection anyways. I've been considering just buying a Pixel from overseas, but I've been chipping away at this for too long and am probably gonna keep trying.

I'd be ok with manually resigning everything if it meant rootable for QC Verizon chipsets.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] vanish0104:
Yes. Changing one *bit* of any file will always change the integrity.

[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] qwiri:
As mentioned above:

If I could manage this, would it still be possible? I understand this isn't documented in AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
Doing it (re-signing) with CalyxOS was quite a challenge the first time (but cool as hell to cut your own OTA deltas after the fact, without needing to unlock or flash user partition!), can't fathom doing it with Samsung esp considering AOSP is just the start, you still have binary blobs for the radio, etc. I never figured out how to get raw partitions out of Fastboot (which wouldn't require root, at least on my phones) to get those blobs with an unsupportive vendor. After that, then make the EDL image, which I assume ALSO has a crypto signature with keys not available to sign with (but, y'know, there are ways around everything).

Like I said, I just gave up and went with supporting a phone vendor that wasn't fighting me... much easier and I still have all my customizations (e.g. root + annoyance free) with the security of a locked bootloader.

I *THINK* (maybe gsmarena.com can validate) that the Pixel 6 is like the iPhone and includes the VZW bands in the unlocked version. Buying the unlocked direct from Google shows "set up with any major carrier later", so I assume that includes VZW too.

PS: the fingerprint sensor on front sucks major, and you don't get the 50MP camera in the API used by the open source cameras... I returned the 6 and went with a 5G... but I don't think that one includes the sub6/mmW bands in the universal version.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] vanish0104:
You would need the keys from Verizon to sign it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] qwiri:
Alright. Thanks for your help 🙏

I'll try out a few methods and bump the thread if it works
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
If you had the Verizon keys you could just do the system partition mods, sign, and reflash with fastboot, or even better, a OTA delta image of the su/magisk package.

I think @qwiri 's question is could you use EDL to get a layer lower than the Android trusted boot- which you certainly could, or at least on a OP phone. But... you'd have to be able to do the entire image, signing EVERYTHING as you'd be replacing the keys, too. Totally possible, just hard- but THEN you'd have to reverse engineer EDL mode images, which I assume is signed by someone at QC. That may be possible- sign up as a developer, OEM, whatever, social engineer it. But probably more expensive than just buying a phone that LETS you flash keys without EDL (if you want trusted boot) or just unlock the bootloader to permit custom partitions (if you don't have the wherewithal to get an AOSP build environment and do it from scratch)
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] nicksons28:
No it's not quite simple at all. Yes you can root ANY phone that exists. No exceptions. EDL mode is used by authorities to extract a criminals phone. It has many uses. Rooting is one. Unless Qualcomm removed this feature it's actually impossible to not allow rooting! (Even then they're always going to have vulnerabilities you can exploit no ones perfect)You can always manually reverse engineer your BL files and unlock it yourself you just manually force call a valid check on each and every boot secure check or disable them . However that's not ideal and anyone would obviously rather buy one that has OEM 🔓 for the more simplistic approach but yeah. You can root any one of these phone given you have the knowledge to rewire the Oem's anti-mod-features there's always a way around things whether you like it or not so your not making sense at all. I've rooted a brand new Verizon for a friend of mine few weeks ago. Brand new and didn't support it at all Samsung Galaxy flip 5 F731U model all done by EDL FLASH. It was incredibly difficult but it worked. So you shouldn't even be rooting your phone telling people you CANT root without them oem unlocking which is an incompetent response. You can even root a locked bootloader. In EDL. It's only encourage to unlock because devs don't want to sit and find vuln when it is much easier to develop for something the device actually officially supports (as most manufacturers allow OEM 🔓) So no it is not 'that simple'
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
So having the EDL keys is NOT the end-all-be-all to root (just unbricking). Each firehose key specifies what can be read and written on the phone. In most cases, such as those used by three letter agencies... the key allows reading the entire phone; all partitions. Not all do, though. (The public Motorolas, for example, generally only let you write to the boot sectors to get fastboot running again, assuming you can flash a full (signed) image from fastboot to recover the phone).

Also note that a lot of manufacturers require either a special cable to get to EDL, or require opening and shorting a jumper (usually unmarked) to make it happen. YOU NEED A HACK-FRIENDLY VENDOR to do this painlessly.

That doesn't mean you can WRITE to all partitions. But... even if you could, that doesn't mean that the phone will magically just work rooted. Say you extract the boot.img and patch it with one of the usual suspects, then write it back (the normal means of persistent root)... the signature won't match verified boot chain, and the phone will refuse to boot. Hello, brick. (Well, you can reflash the old boot image with EDL, so soft brick...)

Assuming you have full R/W, the best bet to 100% root is to figure out what unlocking actually does- it likely flips a bit/byte/word somewhere on one of the otherwise hidden or R/O partitions; probably with some kind of checksum or signature. If you have access to an unlocked phone, you may be able to copy THAT partition over a locked one, and get an unlocked one, which the modified boot.img would then get accepted with snide warning... but you'd have root.

Note that the IMEI may be stored there too, so you may unwantingly clone someone else's phone. YMMV.

If you have the skill - maybe you do - you could write your own SBL or ABOOT that doesn't verify images downstream... assuming the PBL doesn't check for signatures on the SBL, and flash THAT with EDL. It's a hell of a lot of work though to get root... just buy a phone that lets you unlock it without drama.

We need a clear message sent: We will pay for phones that let us do our thing; if we wanted a walled garden we'd buy an iPhone.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] BenSkylake:
Hi y'all. I recently got an X3 Pro and will be installing LineageOS on it. I'm just currently waiting out the 1 week period before the Mi Unlock app allows me to unlock the bootloader. I read through the official installation instructions a few times and one of the first things it says is to ensure the phone is already running its stock Android 12 ROM, which mine is. Further down where it says to factory reset in the custom recovery, it only mentions erasing the data and cache partitions. Does this mean I'm supposed to flash LOS over MIUI or is it safe to erase system first then clean install LOS? It would be much appreciated if anyone could shed some light on this. If it helps, I also intend to use OrangeFox recovery.

EDIT: I found out about Xiaomi firmware flashing while doing some more research for this. Please let me know if I've got this right. I think the reason the instructions say to be on the latest stock ROM and don't say to erase system is because MIUI has a set of closed-source low-level drivers that are available for download separately but cannot be included as part of a custom ROM. Dirty flashing LOS will keep these drivers intact while removing MIUI. If this is correct, then this should mean it's safe to erase system as long as I download the latest firmware file and flash it before the ROM so that the drivers are there when the ROM is installed. Am I right about all this?

Basically this, every 3 or 4 days or so my OnePlus screen will go dark. It isn't *crashing*, though - it's happened when I've had headphones in listening to music and the music still plays, responds to headset controls, etc., so I think it's just the screen. Normal reboot will not work (holding the power button), although this might be because that presents a reboot menu rather than just rebooting the device. I have to do power button + volume up to reboot the device, at which point it reboots and everything is back to normal. I'm happy to gather any addition logs/data needed to debug, but I can't find anything in my crash debugging app (because it's not a crash...). Other interesting pieces of info

- I get the "Intent Verification Service stopped responding" issue every reboot

- I originally installed by wiping OOS + Android 12 and trying to install 19.1 and 19.1 recovery; this failed (same problem as here: https://xdaforums.com/t/denying-ota-because-it-is-a-spl-downgrade.4463975/), so I installed 18 instead, which failed, but then wiping and going back to 19 succeeded (because the update was newer and thus no longer a "downgrade", I presume. IDK what really happened there).

- Trying to do Android Beam hard crashes the whole device; I've disabled NFC for now

Other than that the build runs swimmingly. I can live with the other stuff but the screen shutting off randomly is worrying to me - anything I can do to fix this or help you guys help me fix it?
