[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@Kavsokalivit45, I translated your question. Okay, fastboot mode can be used to flash a firmware image file (.img, .fex, .bin, .mbn, etc.) to a specific partition on your mobile device (/boot, recovery, /vendor, /system, /secro, etc.). The following fastboot command reflects that the boot partition is being flashed by a boot.img file.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Note that all flashing commands will begin with the word fastboot, followed by the word flash. The next value is represented by the mounting name of the partition to be flashed...in the above example the partition is boot. Lastly, the image filename to be flashed to the partition...in my example, boot.img.

So, if you wanted to flash the /system partition of the Surf 7 tablet, the location of the Android OS itself, you wouid execute:

fastboot flash system system.img

(This command presumes that the system image has a filename of system.img.)

Fastboot commands can also be used to wipe or format partitions, resize dynamic partitions, set flag values to certain props, unlock & relock your bootloader, along with dozens of other tasks.

While I don't have time to get in depth on this topic, below is a link to a detailed outline on over 2 dozen different fastboot commands and how to use them . https://technastic.com/fastboot-commands-list/
[Android General] Kavsokalivit45:
Hello. thanks for the explanation! very grateful to you!
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
No problem my friend. I only wish I had more free time to give you a more thorough outline of the many uses for fastboot mode. Hopefully the link I posted gave you some understanding.

Hi guys, I have this phone and despite how much I try and how many guides I follow, I can't boot with any OSS ROM. Plus, any recovery that isn't OFOX 11.1 doesn't boot. Currently i'm on crDROID 8.7. Any help Is appreciated and thanks in advance!
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Deleted member 10744851:
Same issue here. I tried Pixel Experience, CrDroid, ProjectElixir and nothing worked. The phone would turn off after showing the "Mi" logo for a few seconds. I did find a working TWRP though, but I can't find a link to it anywhere now :/
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] nikobadboy:
Hi. For me worked this recovery: twrp-3.6.0_10-1-lime-brigudav.img

I think pitch black recovery works roo. About roms, i think the xiaomi.eu roms are the only one stable, who boot, in this version of redmi 9t with nwt panel/touch.

Cicciopanza, where did you find that rom (crDROID 8.7) who works on lemmon device. Can you provide a link to rom and did you installed a custom kernel before installing crDROID 8.7 ?

Hi. I have the same model of redmi 9t ,codename lemon, and i managed to install only a custom recovery of this phone and that's it. Custom roms can't boot after i install from twrp brigudav. Can you put here files you used for instalation of pixelexperienceplus 12 and describe steps you did for a succesful instalation ? Did you flashed a custom kernel before/after installing the rom ? Describe the steps and put links with rom/twrp/other files you used if you can. Pls help and thanks.

Kernel improvements by Ananjaser

Starting with these builds I will only publish the SELinux enforcing ROM. If you encounter issues that might be SELinux-related, please first flash the boot_permissive-<date>.img as boot image and re-try to help me identify if the issue is SELinux-related.

October 22, 2022 Release.

Initial public release. First 18.1 T715 ROM with working RIL, also first 18.1 T715 ROM with SELinux in Enforcing mode. T710/T715 common code based on retiredtab's work for T710 so all his latest changes apply as well.

Congratulations on this release @metterschling and @retiredtab , great to see!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ripee:
@metterschling If you don't mind a couple of comments about your scripts, you need not have created a patch for my script. You could have just forked mine and pushed your changes to it. No need to complicate things for novice builders. Secondly, I'm sure your gts28lte tree can be a source of inspiration for the other 3 variants so as to build a complete set. Thirdly, you may be able to let gts28wifi users flash your builds if you add gts28wifi as a TARGET_DEVICE, to make it easier to cover more users in the meantime. Fourthly, you clone so many repos when it could be cleaner to fork then substitute your forks in the roomservice. This could avoid potential repo syncing errors.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] metterschling:
Thank you @ripee. Just to be sure: all you above comments are related to my build environment setup script here, correct?

I agree with regards to the patch, this is how I started and just wanted to document my steps as code. During my next free cycle, I'll be looking at reworking this.

Regarding 2) as mentioned in the opening post my work is already the result of synergies between code trees for the other devices, mainly based on retiredtab's trees, and we keep the common set wherever possible.

So there is no need for 3) as gts28wifi users can directly use the equivalent one linked on the top of post #1.

For 4) I'm open for suggestions which clones you are referring to. As an example, I don't want to fork the entire LineageOS tree just to apply the small NetworkStack patch.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] metterschling:
@ripee I've pushed a new version of the build environment setup script, following your guidance. Please let me know if there are more areas of improvement, very much appreciated!

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ripee:
If gts28wifi users get an error that their device is not gts28ltexx, then yes it would be necessary to add it as a target device in the tree. Lineage uses the networkstack repo from google, which you can tell cuz they track the aosp remote, so in this case we have nothing to fork and substitute. Only a patch of google's own repo would be convenient.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] KeepingItCuttingEdge:
Just to clarify, since there has been discussion about the WiFi version (t713), can this ROM be safely flashed on one?

Also I believe I have a t715Y... Would this t715 ROM work on it?

(I have three Tab S2 units -- two t713 models and a t715Y.)

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] retiredtab:
The T713 and T715 have completely different chipsets. T713 is msm8976 and T715 is exynos5433.

If your T715Y is known as "gts28ltexx" OR "gts28lte" as described in post #1, then you can flash this rom on it. You can download an utility called devcheck by flar2 to verify. Your device name will be shown in the system tab under device.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.devcheck

metterschling's code checks for gts28lte,gts28ltexx using this below

https://github.com/metterschlg/andr...s28ltexx/blob/lineage-18.1/BoardConfig.mk#L17
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] metterschling:
Most likely, ROMs for the T715 work on the T715Y according to some XDA posts. Like this one. I don't own a T715Y, so can't test myself.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] mikelosat:
Hi friends, after loading from TWRP twrp-3.7.0_9-0-gts28ltexx.img.tar on my SM T710, my tab gets stuck on booting with lineageos graphics. I made the backup with TWRP if I upload the files can I repair the tab as before?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] metterschling:
If I understand correctly, you picked the gts28ltexx version which is for the SM-T715. If your device is the SM-T710 (gts28wifi) I'd strongly recommend to use the ROM and matching TWRP linked in this thread.

If your device is SM-T715, please see FAQ #5 in post #2 of this thread. I use the downlevel TWRP because newer ones did not work for me.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] mikelosat:
I use a SAMSUNG SM-T715 device just as described:

Model: SM-T715 (LTE) - gts28ltexx - 8" screen, Exynos 5433 SoC, LTE.

To be able to install the ROM I used "TWRP twrp-3.7.0_9-0-gts28ltexx.img.tar"

After several attempts I could neither restore the BACKUP nor start the operating system. I had to do a complete WIPE and at that point lineageos advanced, now I'm having problems, I don't have the gapps I downloaded version 11 for ARM but despite having enough space it gives me an error "70" not enough space. I have no google services and no PLAYSTORE, I am in a critical situation, how can I install the google PlayStore? I can't even add gmail account from settings, it's a disaster.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] mikelosat:
Finally I come to the conclusion, after fully formatting my SAMSUNG SM T715 the ROM started up, the problem was the wrong recovery, using the version indicated in the guide above everything started up correctly.

Unfortunately this ROM is full of bugs and its use is useless, below I will list all the problems it causes during use:

1. 4g calls don't work, during the call you can't hear anything either incoming or outgoing.

2. Bluetooth only works with music while in call it remains mute.

3. the only way to call is to keep the speakerphone open otherwise the call will be silent.

4. Whatsapp is impossible to use and only allows you to use it in beta.

5. Smart Switch as for whatsapp does not work with custom ROMs

6. Does not sync contacts even though sync has started.

It's really a shame after all these hours to find that you've only wasted so much time.

Maybe I've done something wrong, I don't rule it out, maybe someone will be able to give me some advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Calemvir:
Galaxy S21 Ultra5G, latest Ketan ROM, OneUI 5.0, android 13, had this issue on previous versions as well though.

Hey everyone, here are the symptoms

1) Can't place any files in any folders when phone open on windows, I'm able only to place files in the root here, everything else is not accessible

2) Some installs from the play store work (VLC as an example) but others fail every time

3) All downloads in Chrome (on phone) fail

4) Theres a suggestion of being able to change downloads location but I can't actually do anything

View attachment 5741709

Im rooted, running the newest ROM from Ketan. I have TWRP recovery, everything works fine except somehow I can't access downloads.

This persisted through ROM upgrade or maybe even got worse, I'm not sure, I think in the past I was able to place files in folders but not anymore.

Once I get apks in the root directory I can then find and install them with the Samsung file manager finding new .apks

So this is really frustrating, not being able to place any data on the phone. I've got not idea why either, does anyone have any idea why these symptoms would be presenting themselves?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shaharofir:
As for 2, clean play store and play services data
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Calemvir:
This didn't help unfortunately.

Another thing to note is that when trying to create a new folder on my PC in any of the folders on the internal storage I get an error "The new folder could not be created in this location. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". The device seems to be working fine and it has not been disconnected.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] jnelsoninjax:
I see that the question has been asked, but no one has answered it. I need to sideload an app to the watch, but all the guides I find are written for the 4 and 5, not the 3 since it still uses Tizen no WearOS. If someone could point me in the right direction for a guide, I would appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Maxninja:
https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-sideload-apps-into-gw3.4246855/

You use "adb sideload" to move contents into the watch. If you don't know on how to use it, research for the answer. You can mess up the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] j007!:
First time writing here, just wan't to clear things up, because i have been doing some research now for a while...

First off all adb is for "normal" android devices (like most phones), you should use sdb because its specifically designed for use with Tizen Os devices (just as they are saying at the thread Maxninja linked, ehm ehm), including Galaxy Wearables, like documented here: sdb - tizen reference

(working with it is very similiar as with adb though)

To sideload apps there is already a very good tutorial in this forum here:

howto-sign-and-sideload-tizen-applications-to-the-gear-fit2-from-windows

-->Important: stick with java version 15, i had 17 installed and got IllegalAccessExceptions due to some linkage Error caused by newer Java versions. Just install an "Amazon corretti" msi (google it), and it should work.

I think the more important question also is where to get .tpk files...

Simplest way is to temporarily link your galaxy watch 3 with a samsung phone, download all the wanted apps, and then do the following

- enable developer mode,

- with

sdb pull

download the WHOLE folder, where your app is stored (something like /opt/usr/apps/URI_NAME_OF_APP or opt/usr/globalapps/URI_NAME_OF_APP) to your disk.

--> a tpk file has a structure like this, within the galaxy watch: (example)

com.samsung.d-calculator-wc1 : FOLDER

lrwxrwxrwx 1 app_fw app_fw 69 May 18 16:15 author-signature.xml -> /opt/usr/globalapps/com.samsung.d-calculator-wc1/author-signature.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 app_fw app_fw 52 May 18 16:15 bin -> /opt/usr/globalapps/com.samsung.d-calculator-wc1/bin
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? cache
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? data
lrwxrwxrwx 1 app_fw app_fw 52 May 18 16:15 lib -> /opt/usr/globalapps/com.samsung.d-calculator-wc1/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 app_fw app_fw 52 May 18 16:15 res -> /opt/usr/globalapps/com.samsung.d-calculator-wc1/res
drwxr-xr-x 3 owner users 4096 May 18 16:15 shared
lrwxrwxrwx 1 app_fw app_fw 67 May 18 16:15 tizen-manifest.xml -> /opt/usr/globalapps/com.samsung.d-calculator-wc1/tizen-manifest.xml

- if it didn't work, try to pull them independently without cache and data folders (or with the calculator example from "globalapps" instead of "apps"

- setup your galaxy watch to your actual phone (therefore factory resetting it)

- follow the signing procedure linked at the top of my post, for each app

- install them via

sdb install

Hope this helps!

I have a Pixel 7 and recently rooted it, upon signing back into my Google account I received a security alert that I logged in from a Huawei Nexus 6P. Anyone know why the wrong device name was populated?
[Google Pixel 7] Lughnasadh:
You must be using Displax's USNF mod? If so, that spoofs to the Nexus 6P, so that's why.
[Google Pixel 7] toboggan007:
Nope, only modules I have installed are systemless hosts and safety net fix. Found it quite strange, I installed Magisk with the most recent factory image downloaded directly from Google.
[Google Pixel 7] Lughnasadh:
Displax's USNF (Universal SafetyNet Fix) (v2.3.1-MOD_2.0) is the SafetyNet Fix mod. There is also one by kdragon but it sounds like you are using Displax's mod.

I'm using the Danny Lin version. Thanks for the info!~
[Google Pixel 7] kornball:
I'm using Displax's version, and when my P7 backed up via Google One, my Google account labeled the device as a Pixel 3. I was really confused but then figured it was due to the USNF mod.
[Google Pixel 7] makeyourself:
So glad I've just seen this post, was thinking I may have been hacked! I'm using kdragon's USNF though (that's what Magisk reports), not Displax's. Odd because I could only see it in the devices section of Google accounts, not the sign-ins part. It's like Google initially misidentified it as Nexus 6p but then corrected it to my actual device.

Hello all - hope everyone's doing OK? I have a OnePlus One lying in the drawer for years and decided to flash it to the latest Lineage OS18.1 so I can take it as a backup phone abroad. I was able to successfully install the OS but when I attempted to install GAPPS (the smallest pico version) I got an error 70 saying there was insufficient space to install it. Doing some Googling a workaround seems to be to re-size the partition using TWRP. However when I tried that (Wipe-Advance Wipe-Check System-Repair or Change File System-Resize File System) I get another error message:

/sbin/e2fsck -fp /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system process ended with ERROR: 1

Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobodyAtall:
Use a lower size gapps or aroma gapps so that you can choose required apps to install. Also, flash the rom+gapps together because of changes from some custom android versions you can't reboot to system and then flash gapps, that will give you force closes error.

Or maybe try to do full reset with original operating system and start all over again.

If the problem still persist, change the recovery to another available versions.

The only thing possible is to gamble a bit with the keys power, volume up and down to get the yellow sign in the top left showing "kernel" instead of "recovery". Otherwise if I press all three buttons together the following screen comes:

I am a complete noob in that kind of things and got no idea what to do now. There is no possibility to open the download mode to revert something, neither TWRP is shown as it should according to the Description in Link above. If possible I dont want to get anything deleted. What can I do?
