No, SPB Backup does NOT backup your ROM, nor does any other backup app do it (Resco, Sprite, etc.)

Those apps only create a backup of the contents of your C: drive (files, apps, registry settings, etc.)

Search the forum for how to 'dump a ROM'.

Don't know, if it'll work on the X1, but he might have a look at the tutorials for other devices in order to get a rough idea of how this is being done.

Am I right ?

Thanks, and I genuinely mean that.

Shame you had to use that tone, I for one was getting there (I was starting to compile) but there was no simple how to (which was why you searched a lot and it seemed to help that you knew what you were looking for).

However, I now have a backup of the ROM I purchased, and for that I am grateful to you.

Copying C:\x1img\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll

Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?

try restarting your device, or restart activesync

Hey fards,

Great guide. Its spot on so congrats there....( for a newbie like me ) and the same for all others that have left helpful advise on this thread..)

If you dont mind, I'd like to ask a question?

With reference to the:

"Download the stock UK rom, (there's one listed under the HardSPL thread that works fine) extract the RUU_signed.nbh to Baserom folder as well."

Do you know what that file does? I assume it holds the config of whats required?

Anyhows..... I happened to already downloaded one that was floating about on the forums: VFUK-rebuilt_RUU_signed.zip

So I used that one. Not sure if it would be any different or make any difference from the stock UK rom?? being as the guy stated his RUU file was for anybody that needed a clean Vodaphone UK rom.

Do you know if theres a way to verify the RUU files? with regards to version? or anything like that? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree.

Just curious....

Anyway once again. Great guide. Its well appreciated especially for guys like me that like to mess about with stuff like this. :)

Kind Regards,

King

Extracting Radio ROM

Hi Fards...

Thanks to your great instructions, I have finally extracted my ROM to a 172,422kb RUU_signed.nbh file.

Two things that crosses my mind now is

1) Is there a way I can confirm if the ROM is intact and error free?

2) How about the Radio ROM? How can I extract that too?

(tried at wiki to search "extracting radio rom" and "radio rom extraction" but no results?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] mousepointer:
I'm interested in removing completely the mouse pointer from my LineageOS Android, but I've had no luck in searching for solutions. Am I being dumb or unlucky?

By "the mouse pointer" I am referring to the cursor that appears and can interact with my screen when I plug in a mouse/controller. I just want it to never appear, or to appear only when I specifically want it to. Thanks!
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Pelii:
Hello, I'm running a Samsung S4 Mini (I9195) with LineageOS 18.1. Smart Lock isn't cutting it for me, I don't use GPS, I only have BT on when listening to music. I want to have the ability to unlock and lock the lock screen at my leisure, to make it stop asking for my PIN until I press-hold the lock icon on the lock screen to make it ask for PIN again.

I used to be able to do that, by setting up a system profile that sets the lock screen to not ask for PIN when it is activated. After having encrypted my phone via the option in the Security settings menu, I can't do this particular thing. Amusingly, I can still remove the PIN from the phone entirely and make the lock screen stop asking for one that way, but that requires going into settings, disabling the PIN, and then setting it up over again when I want it back.

So can I still set whether the lock screen asks for PIN easily somehow? Is the only way to do this to undo the phone's encryption? I could do that easily enough, all partitions have been backed up in recovery just prior to encryption.
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
I have found the fix. It's a combination of registry plus system files.

If anybody has done his/her research in this area, please share as well.

Otherwise, I will test out further before sharing the fix.

If you have a non-english ROM device, you may have to follow this instructions, after the installation.

Add 26/03/2009:

Add Youtube fix to overcome lag playback for High Quality videos. Credits to akp99. Please download the fix here I will update the full build with the fix.

Update 11/12/2008:

Minor update to the CAB, CAB no longer hard code to \Windows directory, but I have not tried if it works on storage card.

The cab file can be found here

Update 26/11/2008:

I have created a patch CAB to restore the 8 system files that were overwritten by the original Youtube CAB. This is probably the last resort before having to hard reset to get Youtube working (if you had previously installed Youtube before)

Update 18/11/2008:

I have created a patch CAB, if you do not wish to hard-reset your Xperia to install the X1i-Youtube.cab. But let me know if it works for you, because while this patch CAB does correct the problematic registry entries, it does not correct the 8 system files that the original youtube CAB has overwritten.

Update 17/11/2008:

Build a CAB that works fine after I hard reset my phone (after umpteen times of hard reset!)
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
and it seems that the fix will not require installation of mHubVO cab file! :D :D :D

I'm happy playing the youtube now, and at the same time I could play videos that I captured using the camera.
[XPERIA X1 General] xmoo:
I havn't withnissed any problems. My youtube always worked.
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
it's not a problem with youtube, but the mp4/3gp video playback.

That said, some people has reported that the new manila cab will have a working youtube w/o breaking the mp4/3gp video playback. Did you install the new manila cab, and have you installed the standalone youtube cab that's dated 13th nov?
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
finally managed to re-create the cab that fixed the 3gp/mp4 playback problem.

I work based on itje's Youtube cab so all credits go to itje.

However, I have to re-create a new cab due to some technical problem (somehow modify itje's cab gave me some problem). For that reason, I have create the cab under my own name, hope itje doesn't mind, and if he include the fix into his new Youtube, I will be more than happy to take down this cab.

This cab not only fix the playback problem, I also make sure any conflicting DLL or system files are not overwritten, i.e. the Youtube will re-use whatever system files that Xperia has. There are some registry entries that are redundant as well, for that, I have removed as well.

This CAB will also NOT required you to install mHubVO or Dshow CAB file. It works independently of the other CAB files.

I will upload the CAB file to the top of this thread.

[XPERIA X1 General] m@rco:
Hi zenkinz,

I think we must also do this for HTC Album.

I've installed the Social Engine Cab.

The cab makes a upload icon in second tab of the settings.

And a account manager in the third tab of settings.

If you click on it you see that there is a possibilty to add a Youtube account.

I did but after that i can't do nothing.

I searched the internet and this forum but can't find anything.

The only thing i found is that maybe it is a part of HTC Album.

I think there is a possibility to upload videos you made with the camera to Youtube.

I think I understand what you are trying to say. But I probably can only do it this weekend since I got a day job to do :D
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
Thank you, you are still the man for creating the original CAB, I'm just improving it :D :D
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
you don't need the registry fix cab if you download the X1i-Youtube.cab from the 1st post of this thread. But for the latter CAB, you need to have clean X1i w/o previous installation of Youtube to work.

Did you try hard-reset, and then install X1i-Youtube.cab ? If it doesn't work, what language is your ROM? (I hardcode it to \Windows directory, it's my fault I know :D)
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
could it be your mp4 problem? Did you try other mp4 videos?

But i'v installed WinCe manager so i'm gone check as well.

Also found Youtube in there as well.

I also checked HTC Album and there ar some items that say upload.

When i found something i let you know

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] avoidances:
Hi all,

I've spent the better half of my Sunday trying to finally get `adb root` to work on my device (rooted with magisk).

I've tried a variety of things, such as using the `resetprop` tool to modify the ro.debuggable and ro.secure properties (supposedly successful upon checking the output of `resetprop ro.debuggable`, however upon exiting the shell and attempting to run adb root, it doesn't work. I assume it's because I need to reboot, but the `-p` flag for percistence doesn't appear to work for me.

I've attempted modifying the build.prop file directly, with no avail. I just want to add a CA cert to my /system/etc/security/cacerts to intercept an app's requests through burpsuite (a HTTP proxy).

If anyone has any recommendations on what to try, I'm all ears, and would be massively appreciative of any help.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
If it's rooted just patch adbd to not care about that stuff.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] avoidances:
Any idea where I can find a patched binary or more information on how to do this? I would've thought I can't patch as it requires writing to read-only parts of the system (I've been unsuccessful in trying to remount it with write permissions too... not sure why when I am in a root shell.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Sorry, I wasn't trying to give you totally worthless advice.

Production builds of adbd don't respond to "adbd root".

Since it's all open source you can build from source to have a rooted adbd.

OTOH, I never build from source, I find it easier to mod.

To put that on your device you'll need Magisk or somehow rooted.

Modding /system requires Magisk or that you abandon the concept of incremental updates (without restoring to last official version).
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] avoidances:
Interesting, thank you for the detailed response, I really appreciate it.

Gonna dig into this for the next couple days as I'd like to have a good phone for mobile security testing.

:)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Not saying that this is the best route or the sane route. There are devices that I care about and devices that I can't be bothered about.

For the device that I care about:

I modify the dtb in the boot image so that /vendor is loaded without verifying.

I modify the fstab in /vendor so that /system is loaded without verifying.

I modify both /vendor and /system so that there is no error correction (wipe the last 4096 of each partition).

I patch (SE Linux) sepolicy for what I need in .cil

I patch adbd to be rooted (without any adb root or su command)

Yes, one could use Magisk, but I don't know where that is going. It's a clever program, but mod some stuff and look at all the stuff that a mount command shows.

For me, it's above the threshold. The downside of my approach is that you can't do incremental updates (without reverting to stock).

Hello,

today it happened that I forgot a password to my phone. I've tried to restore it by logging in into my xiaomi account and my google account. Unfortunately it only offers to wipe my data, which I want to avoid at all costs.

I have Poco F2 Pro on MIUI 13

Is there known a bug which could in any way make me unable to log into my phone?

Please help me. I am really desperate. I beg you. If you need any information about this case and it's sensible to share it there, please ask.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
people report similar on updates, but I don't think it's official known bug. however, there is gatekeeper in background which will deny correct password after too many attempts, timeout increases up to 1 trial per day. if something corrupted it might happen this deny is silent without notifying you.

so best what you can do for now is nothing, just wait for 24 hours and keep on charging.

[General Questions and Answers] perwell:
It would be strange to ask again for password every 2 minutes and silently block out for the whole day. Actually it would rather bad for the actual users rather than unauthorized break in.

I've tried many times and I'm quite sure that I've typed the correct password at least once. Are there any options like blocking it through Xiaomi cloud and maybe it would ask to log into the account. I've tried changing the password but it still does not work (maybe it was made after too many attempts).

Does the password to phone change when it is changed to the Xiaomi account?

[General Questions and Answers] perwell:
To access files I need to enable file transfers. Besides I also wouldn't want to risk bricking the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
as your bootloader is locked there is nothing you can do anyway... this was just side note question to @jons99

it's true that file-based encryption is tied to lock screen credentials, but MIUI 13 is insecure and implemented metadata encryption in a wrong way so that TWRP is able to decrypt without password, like it was common on full-disk encryption.

full-disk encryption requires decrypted partition first in order to access files on it, so the suggestion to delete locksettings.db is pointless as goal (access /data) would already achieved before. but I am curious about file-based encryption and metadata encryption leaves /data/system unencrypted. while it for sure would break file-based encryption, I am not quite sure this applies to MIUI weak metadata encryption too, if we delete locksettings.db
[General Questions and Answers] jons99:
I'm pretty sure xiaomi is using file based encryption and without the locksettings you won't be able to decrypt your data I mean the system will load but you won't be able to use it as it will show phone is starting message forever cause it won't be able to decrypt your data on the other hand I don't know much about xiaomi so I guess anything is possible

Hi, masters,

Just as the title, can some experts explain how to remove cube when recooking rom? I have tried the thread named as "disable cube in cruise", and I think it didn't work and may damage some scroll function. So maybe some experts in our forum can give us new cookers some tips about these. any reply will be appriciated.

What's more, can someone recommend some kitchen for 20755 or 20931? Nowadays I'm using Polaris Kitchen(19965) from udK to recook c_shehar's 20755(Thanks you both, you both are great cookers, I'm on my way to learning from you guys), just replace some payload and oem, sys... and much stuff in the kitchen. So I'm thinking maybe there are some great kitchens from other excellent cookers can recommend.

Thanks very much.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] robertus3d:
Hi sc.w

For removing completely the cube you must delete some file from OemApps folder in Oem folder!

Delete all *.brn files minus QD*.brn, and this exe:ApLancher and CustApLauncher.

After you must delete some reg keys in rgu file: all keys which are related to cube.

At the end in OemDrivers folder in rgu file you disable the cube by the key, search into!
