[Moto E7 Questions & Answers] castor2020:
Today I reflashed my e7 using LMSA.

I then completed the setup wizard except i didn't enter a password because this was only for the purpose of testing to see if the device worked as it should.

I then proceeded to restore a backup of my data partition using MtkClient.

After this my device boots but does not accept the correct password or my adb authorisation.

I assume this has to do with the decryption keys being different due to the reset done by LMSA.

If someone could point me to the partition that contains the decryption keys I could restore it from a previous backup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Moto e7.

Android 10 File based Encryption.

Edit:

Solved.

All I had to do was set the phone up with the same password as the data backup then restore the data backup and it was able to decrypt.

Hallelujah!

My TF101 won't charge it's batteries so It can only run with that silly short charge cable and adaptor plugged in. This also means that when I use that silly short charging cable while plugged into a windows PC usb the TF101 won't stay powered on and asus sync can't detect the TF101 which means I can't run the ICS root batch files. I see that there used to be a APK root solution called Baidu Root offered on here but EVERY SINGLE link to it is dead. Is there Root solution for a TF101 in this state or is this thing a glorified door stop?

Hello, last week my primary tv died and I've had to resort to using some crap called FFALCON 50UFI v8-s586t02-lf1v421. I do not believe it is a true Android TV although it was sold as one. It has a bunch of preloaded APPS that are foreign, and NETFLIX, there is an app store called ITV4 or something but its crap and I don't have the option to install additional outside apps. What can I do to improve my entertainment options?

a) Is there a way to install apps of my choosing?

b) Is it possible for me to replace current O/S with something that will give me the freedom of choice?

c) If I connected an Apple TV box or chromecast or something similar would they be compatible, would they give me what I'm after?

d) Any ideas besides opening the window and giving it the boot?

Really would love some help with this, if you need any information to better assist please ask.

BTW, Sorry if I'm writing this in the wrong section.

Thanks.

I unlocked the bootloader of my op9rt,, and rooted my phone,, now if i try to update oxygen os to lastest version it fails,, how can i update my oos now? without losing root access and data...
[OnePlus 9RT] ptr21:
You can try Oxygen Updater app from Playstore.

Also you can use fastboot rom - you will loose data thus way

If you are on Oos11 and want to update to Oos12, take a minute, google "oxygen downgrade" and ask yourself a question " why upgrade"?

So I enabled LTE on my watch but then I noticed that whenever I was on LTE and would receive a whatsapp, it shows up on my watch but doesnt make a notification sound. However, when I am connected to the phone via bluetooth it always makes the notifcation sound without fail!

What am I missing here?

EDIT: While on LTE or otherwise: Normal SMS messages always makes a sound.

Hi Folks,

Has anybody else has a problem with 'ghost' voicemail icon in the Status Bar (the icon showing when there are no new Voicemail Messages). It only happens occasionally, mainly after SMS or emails are received.

Also, this may seem like a silly question - How do you turn the alarm off!?! I press the 'drop call' in the bottom right which stops the noise, but the icon still sits in the status bar!

Thanks in Advance!
[Touch HD General] namwollem:
Are you using your phone on Orange UK? I ask this because I am, and a couple of my Orange phones in the past have had this "problem". In every case, I have been able to get rid off this by calling Orange Customer Service on 150, then going through the myriad of voice menus to actually speak to someone concerning a Voice Mail problems, they can "refresh the voicemail settings" on their systems. This usually solves the problem. Hope it helps for you.

(Obviously if you're NOT with Orange UK, whoever your service provider is should be able to assist you in a similar way. Years ago when I was with Cellnet (that gives you a clue how long ago it was!) and Vodafone, they didn't use the voicemail icon, they used to just send you a text - I don't know if this is still the case or not.
[Touch HD General] frustin:
Solution

I've just got this problem tonight. I couldnt get rid of the voicemail icon or that i had a voice message. what i did to get rid of it was phoned my phone from another and left a message. called voicemail, listened to message and deleted. the icon has now dissapeared.

Thanks to both of you for the solutions - I found frustin's to be the quickest option and save my time asking the Orange Call Centre to help. Annoying problem though!

Probably not the right place to ask but does lineageos plan on supporting wireguard in kernel? I use it for remote access and having kernel support is way more efficient.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:

What mainline version was fireguard merged in? Because we enable it on those.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bm1170:
Looks like 4.19 and newer has wireguard on stock. I'm on 4.14 on lineageos 19.1 right now and do not have support.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ralfbergs:
Hi, thanks for your response.

I tried to be as easy to understand, obviously I failed. ;-)

Here's my two messages, in case you missed them:

So, my specific questions:

What is the purpose of the image files (boot|dtbo|super_empty|vbmeta).img?

Under which circumstances should these be installed?

If the device was on stock "13.0.0 (TP1A.221005.002, Oct 2022)" when installing LOS 19.1, and later upgraded to 20.0, would it add any benefit to flash stock "13.0.0 (TP1A.221005.002, Oct 2022)" and then go back to LOS again?

Thank you for your help.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
No. It doesn't.

You can flash it as it includes firmware. Wiki says this too.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ralfbergs:
Thanks for your response.

"It doesn't"? What exactly? This doesn't seem to be a response to the quoted message?

Where does the Wiki say so? I checked the install instructions again, but couldn't find anything? Googling it gives many hits, but I can't find anything that looks like official instructions or at least somehow meaningful (that really explains if and when to use for what).

Making available files immediately aside the main download and not explaining what it is on the same page where the installation is described is not ideal, if I may say so.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
I meant it doesn't need to be updated.

The wiki doesn't say to flash the full factory image, or do anything related to firmware, it just says to boot recovery and flash in the upgrade guide for your device (note, upgrade not install).

And making those images available is only non ideal to people who don't read the wiki, if you follow it, you'll see those aren't needed for what you're doing.

If you go elsewhere on the wiki, you may see links to those images, those are the places you would use those.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ralfbergs:
Thanks for clarifying.

True, and because I (as always) closely followed the instructions, I was successful, and observed no issues whatsoever -- but it was still confusing, and I suspect it may also be confusing to others.

I still believe an explicit message to ignore them would be a benefit.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
1) was it settings service? if yes, uninstall from play store, if not, try to screenshot it (but if it went away, its probably fine).

2) boot.img is the boot image and recovery needed to flash the firmware, you wont need DBTO or the rest. They are provided in case you need to write your own from source and contains the needed partitions, but ignore them. You only need the boot.img (for recovery).

The official LOS zip is a FULL ROM, so it has everything you need. I didnt prepare my device, or do anything more than a factory reset, then flashed LOS coming from other A13 ROMs.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ralfbergs:
Yes.

Are you sure that I would be able to do so? I've flashed GApss as part of the installation from the recovery, I would assume all these apps are system apps that cannot be uninstalled?

Yes, problem never surfaced. Phone is as stable as with a stock firmware, simply perfect.

Yes, that's what I now realized. I'm not even sure whether I followed that bit when I installed 20.0 (might be a small mistake on my side), but as I had 19.1 installed earlier with the LOS recovery, it obviously didn't matter a lot.

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droid_Nut:
When I tried a downgrade of LOS to an older version, it failed because I did not wipe data, and my phone booted up with the last version, and my data was still intact. So it should be no loss if it don't work, but always back up your data first of course.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Yes, first thing I do is remove systems service, its a known crasher app. Its OK to remove settings service, or leave it, but it may FC from time to time, I just remove it (and haven't had it installed in over a year on multiple ROMs).

@npjohnson

Quick heads up - the latest 2023-3-21 (edit: and 2023-3-22) unofficial/with Google Apps build appears to break gesture app switching. Similar to the prior Android 13 QPR, I'm guessing Pixel Launcher needs updated.

Thankfully, I can still swipe up from any app to return to the home screen, so it's less broken than last time this happened. But the Recent Apps list never shows other apps and attempting to switch apps often crashes Pixel Launcher.

EDIT: I see a new build has already been posted in the past 12 hours or so. Trying that!

EDIT 2: Still having issues with the 2023-3-22 build.

Because they're my proprietary signing certs.

I literally open sourced everything about my builds, they're re-creatable just as lineage's are.

No one in their right mind shares their private keys. That's what identifies a build as "by you" - if I gave those out anyone could sign a ROM as myself/ODS.

No ROM/ROM developer open sources their certificates.

Unfortunately, the 2023-3-26 build (as compared to 2023-3-24) broke things again, somewhat more drastically. Now the Pixel Launcher continually crashes, but I'm able to switch to another launcher I already had installed (Keikai Launcher) to work around this. Gesture navigation does work.

Android System Intelligence repeatedly closes in the background, and a third-party app Battery Bot Pro can't run its background battery monitoring notification service either. Several other apps do work in the background though (Tasker, Gadgetbridge, KDE Connect, Conversations, etc).

I'm not sure what wrong.

(And in hindsight, I should not have deleted the 2023-3-24 update file until I confirmed 2023-3-26 was functional, as now I can't go back.)
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I find this is the best ROM available for the coral at this time, mainly because its weekly updated and in an official state. Google has EOL (End OF Life'd) the coral for updates, but that doesnt stop 3rd party ROMs (I.E LOS) this ROM from updating it and keeping it current!

I use LOS because it has no bloat, it has nothing, but the OS and you can tailor it to however you want it to run (meaning GAPPs, no GAPPs, FOSS Apps) and so on, so its rock solid stable, everything works, and its updated. Whereas official Google has stopped updating the coral (pixel 4XL) in hopes to move users to new devices (for more money). I plan to use my 4XL until it physically dies, I did so with my original Pixel, Pixel 2 XL, 3XL (that one's not dead yet but a verizon variant so it sits brand new in box and unused - POS verizon crap is useless to me!), and now my with my current 4XL. I plan to use it for as long as I can, I LOVE THIS PHONE! This is by far the best Pixel I have owned and I have had them all from original through 4XL (but nothing newer) so the 5/6/7/ could all be better but I wont know until my 4XL dies!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Disregard my previous post. I also have a few random bugs, my original note is now innaccurate and this is a valid report. The latest 3/26 update has broken a few things, I use the OFFICIAL LOS so its upstream!

You can roll back to previous LOS with a factory firmware with -w in the flashall.bat then roll back to previous LOS.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
For anyone in the future, OR wish to rollback ASAP, follow this method and it works 100% but you will data loss!!!

Using Google's factory firmware is all you need! Use the factory firmware with -w will allow the rollback for anyone rushing to restore LOS (use coral-tp1a.221005.002.b2-factory-db99b1f8) factory firmware. BACKUP EVERYTHING PRIOR as you will LOSE IT ALL (if you don't backup PRIOR to the -w batch), then factory reset using recovery, then flash the batch (flashall.bat) with -w wipe left in, reboot (or it will reboot on its own when done), then bypass all setup, reboot to BL, start over with LOS (using the previous week). I am back rockin LOS using this method!
