I am attempting to install Viper4Android on Android 9. (There is a thread on this board that is dedicated to just this process, but is closed to further replies, so I decided to create another thread.. please put this message in the appropriate forum)

I successfully rolled back to 9 without issues. However there were a couple of errors while flashing the system images. Something to the effect of "vbmeta.img" not found on device (twice). I've only just recently read about what vbmeta is and how it pertains to my device. I can successfully root with Magisk by patching boot.img. TWRP 3.3 will boot, but it has no touch support. I've tried booting with a newer revision (3.4), and it just hangs at the command prompt. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here... I miss the days when this process of installing a nice modification on our devices was easier. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! This forum rocks and so does the community here!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] issue5854:
Hi, I'm looking to buy a Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, but I've seen there are 3 versions of it:

* 128GB Memory with 8GB of RAM

* 256GB Memory with 12GB of RAM

* 512GB Memory with 16GB of RAM

I can easily find the 12GB version, but for the 16GB version there are some difficulties to acquire it. So, I was wondering if there is huge difference between the two versions in performance. If it's not a huge gap of difference, then I would buy the 12GB version.

Does anyone have any experience with these two devices? Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I doubt if there is any difference in performance at all. I have the 512 GB version because I like to keep 400 GB of local FLAC format music on my devices, and I don't always want to fool with a MicroSD card. Does any single Android game really use more than 12GB of RAM? I think it simply comes down to the size of apps and how many you will be installing, which will reasonably translate to needing much more RAM for more multitasking if you use a lot of apps at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] JohnTheFarm3r:
You won't notice any difference.

Not even a single game (native or emulation) uses that amount of RAM.

A few of the most demanding games (direct PC ports) Grid Autosport or Alien Isolation barely use 3-4GB on Average.

Even if you multitask, A LOT, 12Gb will cover you good.

Btw, I got the 8Gb version, and I do heavy stuff on it, still running smooth, no issues with apps being closed in the background, etc...

Just a fair warning, S8 TAB series lineup has a really bad cooling solution, so thermal throttling is heavy, just in case if you planned doing some "heavy" gaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] issue5854:
thanks @roirraW "edor" ehT & @ekin_strops for this feedback

I found a way and ordered the 16GB version, so I'll be using it, and see how it goes.
[G1 General] dada21:
I use Google Mail for Domains (basically, email hosting for your own domain name). The URL is mail.google.com/a/domain.com

I, of course, use the web browse on the G1 to access it. When I hit "reply" to reply to an email, 3 out of 4 times the reply will actually pull up ANOTHER email, usually to a different person. I've now replied to the wrong person THREE TIMES in the past 2 days.

Anyone else see this problem? It's driving me crazy.
[G1 General] dada21:
Just bumping this because it is a serious issue, and I'd love for someone to confirm.

I tried it with gmail.com (from the web browser) and I am experiencing the SAME problem. Can someone here log into their google mail for domain names account or their gmail account from their web browser, open any email, and hit reply and see if it goes to the proper person?

The bug also occurs sometimes when I hit "Compose." Instead of giving me a blank email, it gives me a reply to some random recent person who wrote to me.

Very, very frustrating.
[G1 General] pdspatrick:
You can try adding the account to your phone via the email client....you may lose some functionality, but it should pretty much solve the problems...

(see https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=114408 )

If you need to carry contacts over, just export from one google account and import into the gmail one.

I have to use G@D, this is the best method that I've figured out...Maybe you could try adding the Gmail account at initial config...? Didnt try that...
[G1 General] dada21:
I've used the email app via IMAP for 3 accounts at G@D, but I've had a few problems this weekend where all my email accounts disappear. Annoying.

The big problem is that I access about 15 different email accounts hosted through G@D, so it's easier to just bang into them through the web interface.

But thanks for the idea ;)
[G1 General] LPChris:
I use the Gmail for domains and have that account syncing directly to my G1, but I've never had a problem with it replying to the wrong person. Mine works just as well as using the Gmail client through a browser.
[G1 General] dada21:
I tested it on 6 different G1's (all RC30, unfortunately), and they all had the same bug. I figured out why my IMAP email accounts got wiped: low disk space for some reason. Freed up some space, and they work fine now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfuture:
I HARD RESET my Old Samsung S6 EDGE and wipe cache partion as well (from boot menu) and now I m stuck at FRP Lock. I used the exact Samsung user/password but it cant log me into, instead it just reverts to existing screen. I can easily login to Samsung account on web with this id/pass but not in mobile 🙁 Why is it not letting me in with the correct user/password? It doesnt give any error either, it just goes back to earlier login screen and/or do nothing.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Looks like it was somehow corrupted. It may be a one time glitch such as a SEU or a hardware failure.

In the future delete the Google account first, then do the factory reset in settings rather than off the boot menu... to add an extra margin of safety.

FRP is a menace... Google keeps piling on the security junk making the devices a true pain to use, less reliable and more inefficient.

Fixing it. The fixes on the internet or take it to a Samsung Experience center at a Best buy.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfuture:
Thank u very much bro, I managed to get to the phone setting by some FRP Unlock App, then I factory reset the phone again from android settings but it works the same way again. Do u think Flashing the mobile will be the last resort (I dont wanna do this, since I wanna keep the original official stock rom). I can get to setting but not the home with FRP Unlock App. Problem is the Samsung Account lock screen keeps coming and prevents everthing. How to disable this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

XDA doesn't allow posting hacks for FRP even if I did know how to. I'm very careful to make sure it's never tripped. I've been locked out of a bios before over a corrupted password. It happens, best not to set one whenever possible. If you get into a boot loop on an Android and can't access safe mode or repair it then a boot menu factory reset is the only option. If the password then fails you're right were you are now.

The easiest(?🤣) most secure way is if you can get Samsung to do it for you.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Shirotaku:
Hello,

I have the strange problem that my Pixel 5 sometimes decides not to find any Wi-Fi networks anymore until I reboot my device. I cannot tell when this occurs, it's quite random.

When updating to Android 13 I factory reset my phone and the issue persists.

My current build-nr. is TP1A.220624.014. The device is rooted with Zygisk. Only installed modules are (De-bloater, Systemless Hosts and Universal SafetyNet Fix).

Hope anyone has an idea how to fix this. I might update my phone to October update, but I doubt that this will resolve the issue, since this already persists for over a year with multiple updates/upgrades.

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] hotplex:
What Zygisk - LSPosed modules do you have? Which apps have you de-bloated? Can you try disabling both and checking if it affects the connection? Other things to try: reset network settings, boot in safe mode, disabling VPNs, DNS, adblockers, other devices creating their own networks, etc... Otherwise, it might be a fault antenna because I have all the modules you do but debloated through Adb.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Regys:
Hi,

Same here, why ?!
[General Questions and Answers] Carnalthot:
I recently got my hands on Tecno LC8 and am amazed by how good it is. Sadly its a bit hard to root BUT I have done necessary work for all of you.

### Instructions

1. Update to LC8-H6215ABCD-Q-GL-220402V350

2. connect to a laptop/pc with adb tools installed.

3. type in terminal adb reboot fastboot

4. When phone start in fastboot mode (It comes with a animation of usb cable with bluish glow)

5. Type in terminal

fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

6. Install Magisk.apk from their release page https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/

7. Enjoy

Now time for cons

- This your whole system may or maynot be formatted. I invite for anyone to confirm it.

- SafetyNet works?????? Idk and can neither confirm it. again I invite for anyone to confirm it. This device is for very specific purpose

- TWRP? I can make it yes. But please just no I am providing with recovery image. If you wanna have a go at it go for it. It will be highly appreciated.

- You wanna go full AOSP on this device??

I already tried it. GSI project treble is comaptible with device "x64 ab partition img" But dual sim support is wonky. Flashlight won't work readily My advice is to extract the mediatek sim processor and replace it with GSI google sim processor and whole mediatek tree.

BUT if you have only one sim card go wild you can install GSI on nearly mediatek device with project treble support.

If you wanna install custom rom without TWRP.

Do this

[WARNING ROOT NEEDED]

fastboot delete-logical-partition product

fastboot flash system [your custom rom file location]

fastboot -w

fastboot reboot

Tecno LC8 support "x64ab partition" images.

is there any way I can contact you I have more phone I needed to root, I just want you to explain HOWTO and what NOTO do

I have infinix S5Lite

infinix Hot 9

That I want to root also
[General Questions and Answers] Carnalthot:
I have no problem teaching you.

I do things thrifty. I preferrably use linux to root basically. BUT windows is also pretty good to root android you need platform tools and adb.

the sure fire way to root chinese phones is

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Open flashing privileges (FRP unlock, unlocking phones etc different company calls it differently)

3. Have an understanding of boot verifiers (vbmeta stands for verify boot metadata ) Nowadays phone verifies boot image by vbmeta_product vbmeta_vendor and vbmeta itself

You have to make all of them blank so nothing verifies your boot image on start up

I suggest downloading a firmware of your phone model to understand the partitions system of your phone model

4. Extract your boot image and vbmeta with mtkclient

5. Now patch your boot image. You can do it by hand or by magisk.

6. Flash every vbmeta with blank-vbmeta and boot with patched_boot

7. TWRP is optional DON'T do it if you have only one phone. Always have backup if you want to touch recovery partition

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR

1. update versions. Chinese Kernel update are very sensitive to version numbers. Don't flash v290 boot.img on v350 boot.img. It will brick instantanously.

2. Always learn how to flash your phone model. It saves a lot of headache.

3. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

4. Don't be afraid to throw your phone in anger. No no Seriously. To root a phone is to insist on ownership and if phone denies that it is totally reasonable to obliterate the said phone. I actually mean the last advice.

I’m on limited plan , to download heavy files just to get boot.img out of it is a concern for me.
[General Questions and Answers] Carnalthot:
Hmm you need to get boot.img from your own phone by using mtkclient application. Downloading firmware is to understand about the partition system of your phone. ALWAYS use your own phone boot.img
[General Questions and Answers] Harfho:
So i can use this vbmeta for other china phones?

and am stock on this on mtkclient

Power off the phone before connecting.

For brom mode, press and hold vol up, vol dwn, or all hw buttons and connect usb.

For preloader mode, don't press any hw button and connect usb.

If it is already connected and on, hold power for 10 seconds to reset.
[General Questions and Answers] Carnalthot:
Yes you can use vbmeta for other china phone it's blank vbmeta.

And you are right on money for Brom mode. Preloader mode is hit and trial method for Chinese phones
[General Questions and Answers] Harfho:
Sorry I don’t get this

“And you are right on money for Brom Mode.”
[General Questions and Answers] Carnalthot:
To access Brom mode you need to either remove battery/power off phone then while holding volume up/down button connect the usb cable with pc. PC should be listening for any Brom connections when you connect the phone.

[Touch Pro CDMA] AdamLeonard:
I'm getting connection errors several times a day that require me to soft-reset the phone. Basically an error message pops up on the home screen from the EV or "bars" icons that says "Dialed: Phone as Modem. Cannot Connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again." I also get a nearly identical error: "Dialed: #777. Cannot Connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again."

Sometimes, the EV box will change to 1x and then back to EV and the bars display will drop for a moment and show the "antenna" rather than the arrows. This will then cycle over and over.

I am running the original ROM without much else installed (emoze, Sprint Picture Mail, and Windows Live Search). Its been getting worse in the past week (bad enough that I started searching forums for discussion of it).

Anybody having similar problems?
[Touch Pro CDMA] AdamLeonard:
UPDATE - I called Sprint and they said they are aware of the issue and said that they are working on it but don't have a permanent solution at this time. What they had me do was use the dial pad to log into the phone and change the account profile and then change it back. Not sure if that did anything or not since I just got off the phone with them and haven't had enough time to see if it's helps.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Fuze_tactic:
I think your problem is similar to mine. I haven't gotten a chance to call them, but all I did was turn the phone communication option off then on and data connection back on.

Good morning. I've been lurking here for a long time, and I really like all the knowledge available. My question is, can I nuke these chinese Head Units with a different ROM? Both have extremely restricted menus, and I need bluetooth and canbus access.

The Kunfine head is a 3/48 gig ford edge dash replacement, but its crap, and I'm tired of their garbage updates and half assed attempts at making it work. The KSPiV is a 4/64gig generic, but its also pretty restricted, and has no bluetooth menu. I actually swapped the 2 heads yesterday so I had cell service in my work vehicle. Now I need to find canbus drivers etc. I know thats a lot of rambling from a noob, but hopefully someone deciphers it and has some info. Thanks.View attachment 5727755

I have bought a PX6 and A FYT Meekde 700 unit. Neither have been able to connect to my standalone ECUs Bluetooth module. I read somewhere on here most devices do not support full stack Bluetooth. I will admit the fine inter-workings of Bluetooth are outside my wheelhouse. I have a syvecs ecu and would like to be able to display my cars information through their app onto my headunit. I can connect to the device via phone and laptop no issues.

Any suggestions? Is there a android headunit that may work?

Edited for MCU versions

I will not be the one delivering any solution, but as you should have the unit rooted, have you ever pulled the logs while trying to connect? Search for Logcat extreme and set the log level to Debug. May be you can find the issue in there.

Hello,

I had LineageOS running for some time without any issues.

Then I tried to install a fresh copy of LineageOS by fastbooting the most recent recovery image like this:

fastboot flash vendor_boot <recovery_filename>.img

This command works and says "OKAY" and "Finished" but now I'm stuck in Fastboot Mode with "error boot prepare" and it won't launch into Recovery Mode.

How do I start over with a fresh recovery image?

Thank you
[Google Pixel 5a] ipdev:
Not sure if it will help but, sometimes you might need to...

- Flash the same version of the boot image.

- Flash both slots with the same version.

[ fastboot flash boot boot.img ]

[ fastboot --slot all flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img ]

[ fastboot --slot all flash boot boot.img ]

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Google Pixel 5a] moniker5438:
Thanks for your response. This issue is resolved.

About a year ago, I originally installed MicroG LineageOS (lineage.microg.org) and used their recovery image and build with no issues.

Now, for some reason, that exact same recovery image doesn't work anymore and gives "error boot prepare". Similarly, the latest version of the MicroG LineageOS recovery image gives "error boot prepare".

The only recovery image that would work is vendor_boot.img from LineageOS (without MicroG):

https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/lineageos/full/barbet/ (in my case 20220915)

Using that I could adb sideload the latest MicroG LineageOS (from 20220915)
