[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] MystikalE:
Hello OnePlus users, I'm using android for several years and never really tried to root my device, but I'm currently a bit bored of my device and pretty disappointed from the new version A12 and would like to ask you a few questions regarding that.

-

Firstly I saw few terms or words I could not understand - recovery, module, Magisk, fastboot, TWRP, kernal, locked/unlocked bootloader.

I know it is possible to brick your device but I think I could manage to root my device properly with the right tutorials and information and this is what I am asking here from you guys today.

BTW another one;

My OP8T is not being recognized by the PC, tried different USB ports, cables and installed drivers from online.

I am using the KB2003.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] CaptainFedora:
Hello, for the device not being recognized by the PC follow this guide

[Guide] Fix Device Not Showing Up In Fastboot Mode (Windows 10/11)

You sir are saint...I've been trying to get fastboot to recognize my OP6T for the last 8 hours. Thank you so much!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Xirado:
I want to repurpose my old S7 (Exynos) as a Server. From what i read, PostmarketOS is the only way to run pure Linux on the S7. Sadly, i have not been successful at booting.

I followed the Installation "guide" from this wiki page.

The installation process in itself works fine. I first flash the kernel using

pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel

while in download mode, then i switch into TWRP (ADB Sideload) and run

pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zip && pmbootstrap flasher --method=adb sideload

The image should be installing correctly, atleast there are no errors and everything seems to look "normal".

Although, when booting, it gets stuck at the PostmarketOS Loading screen and is not booting (SSH over USB does not work)

Going back into TWRP reveals that it has problems mounting the /system partition

"Failed to mount '/system' (Device or Resource is busy)"

I've been trying so many things, but the outcome is always the same

I tried:

* WSL2 Ubuntu

* VirtualBox XUbuntu

* Debian Live Install

* Sending the recovery zip on my phone using USB and then installing it from there

I've been stuck at this for 3 days now, and i have no idea what else i could try...

Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same device, but I''ve been stuck for 5 days :D Also same cryptic-nothing-to look-at last_kmesg, it just stops. Did you make any progress? Most people here are more familiar with Android ROMs. I think we're better off taking this to postmarketOS's Gitlab issues.

I can install Lineage OS 18.1 from some post here on XDA just fine. But I don't want Android on the device, I want to build it as a LAMP server to serve Moodle. Internet and electric power are a mess here, distributed is the way to go. But I'm not going anywhere if I can't show some POC.

I think it's something to do with DM-Verity being tripped, or is it no-verity? I'm following this to restore it to stock and start over with the postmarketOS howto.. The install logs look clean, I must have done this more than 50 times now.. from what I understand reading the logs, seems like it's a partition issue. Kernel just stops ...

[3D Printers] Snowleopard1900:
There are a couple of things I am interested in and I am sure that means that it would require a different type of 3D printer for each need. When I mean this, there are table top 3D prints for what I would consider modeling or basic stuff and then there are 3D printers that use cement to 3D print homes now. Each is a 3D printer but for very different things.

If I were to make a list of things that I would love to 3D print, here they are.

1. Teeth, yes I said it and most modern dentist offices 3d scan your mouth and send files somewhere and replacement teeth are regularly printed. I want to to cut their overhead out and take the 3D scans and to it myself. All I care about for the dentist is paying the labor to have them installed. Why do you need to pay your dentist $15000 for implants you can 3D print yourself for $5, So what if they charge you $500 to install them, that is still cheaper than they were going to charge you.

2. Car body parts, for some of the older people here or car enthusiast back in the 1980's Pontiac made a car called the pontiac fiero. The Pontiac Fiero is a car where you could buy complete body kits and make it look like any car you wanted in your own driveway. So I am interested in being able to 3D print front and rear car bumpers, spoilers, front lips, trim pieces ,etc, etc, etc

3. Aluminum alloy wheels for your car. I want to be able to 3D print my own car wheels with spoke designs I want because I cannot find what I want from any of the companies already making car wheels.

4. Cell phone cases

5. Custom brackets for photography and videography equipment

I have found this about Android 13 :

After installing Android 13, the phone force resets itself when the sim card is inserted.

my transactions;

1-soft/hard reset

2-image installation again

3-Different simcard trials (including different countries.) I live in Turkey.

4-I changed the preferred network type manually from the *#*#4636#*#* page. It worked until I turned off the phone myself, but when I turned the phone back on, I faced the Reset problem again.

What kind of problem do you think it could be and if you can think of anything for a solution, thank you.

-----------------------------------

you should try first;

1- without sim card inserted, you need to install android 13 in English.

2- If it gets better, you can continue to use English after the installation phase is over.

3- If it is not fixed, you can do the 1st and 2nd steps by flashing the radio file in the latest version of android 12.

[Google Pixel 6a] xda-eh:
On paper the Pixel 6a seems great. But I've seen many reports that there's a serious overheating problem and network/connectivity drop issues. As both would be deal breakers for me, should I not buy this phone (which I was heretofore strongly considering due to the great chip and smaller phone size), and are these problems really as widespread as it seems?
[Google Pixel 6a] Ace42:
No connectivity issues on Verizon. Temperature is an issue on the June firmware shipped with models (pre release?). On A13 I don't have performance or heat problems anymore. Using MVK kernels also helped a great deal.

I suggest disabling 5G, adaptive connectivity, mobile data always active and windows blur (a must for all android devices) under developer options.

Thanks. Can yo explain what A13, MKV kernels, and windows blur are? Thanks.

[Google Pixel 6a] Pakabidu:
Second day with Pixel 6a here and it's good. Little hot at first but once updated to Android 13 (that's what A13 means) it's the same as my old Pixel 3. The only thing I don't like about it so far is the crappy fingerprint scanner. Every single one built into the screen I've ever tried was ****e and Pixel 6a is no exception, Pixel 3 physical scanner at the back was brilliant. Also wish Pixel 6a was slightly smaller (it's bigger than Pixel 3) as I like compact phones, but will get used to it (the size, not the fingerprint scanner 🥲)
[Google Pixel 6a] xda-eh:
No connectivity/network issues with 5G?
[Google Pixel 6a] Mixlator:
got it the first day it was launched. first upgrade in 3 years since my 3a.. everything seems to he fine. hot at first but after the upgrade to A13 and disabling adaptive charging and windows blur... everything is perfect...for the scanner, it got smarter by time i dunno why... artificial intelligence? i dunno...
[Google Pixel 6a] xda-eh:
MVK and Android 13 together? What is that?
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
They're referring to MKV custom kernel. I've noticed no difference between 12 and 13. The phone does run hot and fairly weak battery life but it's powerful, looks good, and everything else about it is fine. I wouldn't buy it unless doing a good value trade-in or getting at discounted price. Many people coming from 3a. eBay can find new for around $350.
[Google Pixel 6a] rochrunner:
How do you disable 5G? Is it carrier-specific?
[Google Pixel 6a] xda-eh:
Hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold? And can it get dangerous if it gets too hot?
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Disable adaptive connectivity

The left side gets surprisingly blazing. I'd say around 120f at times during hotspotting. But not hot enough to burn you and definitely not dangerous. I was playing with my backup ZTE budget phone yesterday and it's like an ice cube compared to 6a.
[Google Pixel 6a] xda-eh:
So for all intents and purposes the phone may as well be a 4G only phone (if I don't want it to fry)?
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Yeah, for whatever reason this modem gets really hot. I intend to find it why and try to improve it.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
I think more an issue of battery life. The phone is a good phone. It does get hot but doesn't overheat to the point of shutting down or warning. At least in my experience.
[Google Pixel 6a] xda-eh:
What about connectivity issues that I've seen reports of. Have you had any of that?
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
I've been disconnected sometimes like once a day either full disconnect from the network or just losing data connection, but that also started happening to my 3a XL just prior to swapping up, so I think it is a network/tower issue. I'm on Visible.

Hi everyone :),

I wandered for months in this forum but I didn't really find how to root my device. There are some tutorial for the "1952-4" but it's not my device. I really don't want to do risky things flashing wrong files. At this point I don't even know if my model can be rooted.

Here are useful infos :

Device : Moto G7 Play XT1952-1

Firmware : Android 9 (security patch december, 1st 2018)

Build : PPY29.68-28

Bootloader unlocked : YES

At this point, what am I supposed to do ? Is there a TWRP image that would work for sure ?

Thank you.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] MikeRWK:
I managed to root my xt1952-4 but I couldn't use the methods on here as I would have TWRP and Magisk root but would lose wifi. So I decided to install magisk, extract the Boot.img file from the rom and patch it with magisk. I flashed it back using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and now I have root and working wifi but no recovery.

Interesting, thanks.

I don't know if I can risk doing that on my XT1952-1 though, you never know how it'd behave.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] runekock:
Google has not made an Android 13 for our phone, so we have to turn to custom roms.

There is a beta version 13 of ArrowOS, but it is not really ready for normal use. But they are working on it.

At the moment, your best bet is a version 12 custom rom.

You don't need root to flash a custom rom, but an unlocked bootloader is necessary. If you have one of those phones that can't be unlocked (Verizon, I think), then you are out of luck.

Backup with ur whatsapp. Its too easy. Anyway, in case u cant do it, think u have to reset only single app (whatsapp - like ur screenshot), so u cant?

As mentioned in here, using the backup inside WhatsApp still needs you to sign in again on the new phone which isn't my goal. I want to backup ALL of WhatsApp including the sign in, so I can just move it to the new phone without logging in.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] tiennhu89:
Then u have 2 options:

1 - Root your phone.

2 - Ask dev of Whatsapp to do something for u (for all too.lol). But i think it'll never come true. Its too risky for any apps.

So, long story short, a small group on a forum and I have been trying to root the head unit of the new 2022 Honda Civic (I mainly focus on the 9-inch display model). So far, we managed to find the developer settings, turned on USB debugging, got the device powered through a USB Hub, and connected to a PC. However, when an ADB connection is attempted, the device is labeled as unauthorized and needs the ADB Vendor Keys variable. The OS is Android 8.1.0, so I know there are some vulnerabilities/exploits out there, but unless there is a way to bypass the vendor key requirement (or use some form of privilege escalation or payload execution), we are pretty much stuck. Does anyone have any insight? Any info that is needed to make progress in this endeavor can be provided.
