[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dimitrys _AF:
The Device above, also knows as

Lenovo Tab M10 (2th Gen)

, isn't supported by any popular ROM's such as Lineage OS. Can someone please port a ROM at least the bases futures in Lineage OS?

I know, it's real hard to find one and I do know that, but if at least someone knows one for that specific device and boot without errors will be fabulous.

Currently I am stuck at the recovery screen following the message WARNING: Previous Installation has failed. Your device may fail to boot if you try to reboot or power of now.

Witch I do have a fault, because i did a Wipe Data/Factory reset, also trying to install the official stock ROM from Lenovo website.

The tablet i've got its an old one and trying to revive one that its NOT supported by any one in XDA-DEVELOPERS website, make me regret everything.

If someone found one please contact me via replies of this post.

Regards!

Update: the tablet booted suscessfully without any errors in the ROM

Hello. I just got a Korean Z Fold 4 and now I was wondering if I could safely change the firmware to the Indian firmware. Any guidance for the same would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Model Number- SM-F936N
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Segnale007:
What are the benefits of doing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] yzp2001:
The only reason why I wanted to do it because I could not use certain apps and certain pre-loaded SKT mobile apps were installed which I could not delete.

Have you tried changing your csc to KOO which is unbranded using the samfw tool? https://samfw.com/blog/samfw-frp-tool-1-0-remove-samsung-frp-one-click

Not sure if you can try and change it to an Indian CSC of your choice. But you can try changing your csc first to KOO first which will remove those bloat and restrictions a carrier csc has.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Segnale007:
I heard that flashing another variant csc will lead to hard brick.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Abaddon:
flashing another firmware variant could lead to a soft brick. Changing just the CSC wont brick your device

I have the same model and I can’t use 5G on this anyway to use 5G
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
Hello everyone,

I have this model and its head unit is really buggy with apple car play, it would work once and stop working several times or just randomly disconnect from time to time. a pain to use honestly so I started scouring around for means of either fixing the buggy apple car play or experimenting with ways to make android auto work.

I tried the android box and it works fine, but its dependent on apple car play, and just yesterday I got this message:

View attachment 5807795

And regardless of how many times i tried to reset the screen it kept on happening.

anyhow after some digging i found a thread somewhere that had the code for the developer mode.

Steps :

You go

- On the phone app press *#*#888 then press the call key

- A password prompt would come up the password is : 369875

Then a menu with full chinese text will be present, i tried everything until i found a settings button,

at first its an empty menu but if you swipe left or right you get taken into the default android settings menu, i tried starting developer mode and that works but there is no developer options menu in the main menu, probably disabled by the manufacturer.

i did find out that its running Android 9

and that this is the model code for the Headunit : s202_ica_spm8666p1_64_car

No idea if anything is possible at this point, but sharing just in case someone knows.

For as far as i know without toggling on USB debugging its not possible to sideload anything.

Anyone have any clue on where to go with this ?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
thanks for sharing this information, I have Changan Uni k 2023, and I used same steps you mentioned, and I got chinese panel, however, I found if you go to the second tab USB you'll find 2 options 1- using usb as an input, 2- using usb in ADB mode, I activated the ADB mode but still my laptop didn't recognize my car unit,

hope you or someone else can help us from here.
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
it worth to mention that if you go to the tab above cpu, it will show you 2 options, the first one "Settings" it will open Android settings, from there I went to last option "about" and to last item on it which's "IMEI" I think, if you click on it 7 times it will activate developer mode

then you will go back to main page of Android's settings, then advanced settings, then click the tab to show more advanced options, you'll find developer mode

I went there activated USB debugging, and change USB to file transfer, yet nothing happened!
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
be advised that I did all these steps in order to connect my car head unit to my computer so I can install file manger app by ADB then I can install any apps I wanted in this unit, so if your goal is different and you wanna just fix car play errors, you will need only to go to system settings in main page of the car then resetting,

it will work just fine!
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
Actually i started for just fixing the car play issue, but then i decided its better if i just go the ADB route and install a file manager app or some sort of store to download apks directly.

Did you get to make it work in the end ?
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
Actually I made progress !

If you go into the developer options there is a default USB connection thing that you can set to data transfer, and then if you do go ahead and go to the menu outside and set ADB from that other button it will connect to a pc.

So i tried the following command with ADB tools,

.\adb.exe install -g "C:\Users\vx_10\Desktop\platform-tools\android_auto.apk"

but keep getting errors

View attachment 5813137

I must be missing a step or something, but hey progress made !
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
I did same steps but no luck, you have to make sure that your pc actually connected to your car by listening the connected devices by this command:

adb devices

then try install command

mine show 0 devices connected
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
maybe you need a different kind of cable, mine actually shows the device, i am only having this issue with the install about the password
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
god knows tried multiple cables

try this pass

aDB36987
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
all small letters

adb36987
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
where to input the password ? right after the file name ?
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
when ever password is requested as the picture you shared, or try:

adb root

adb shell

then enter the password
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
Thanks man ! i did a lot of progress, finally figured how to install stuff, but after doing so they do not show up in the apps, so i am trying to launch them with shell commands, i downloaded android auto and a browser

This worked for installing :

spm8666p1_64_car:/data/local/tmp $ pm install Browser_for_Android_2.3.5_Apkpure.apk

trying this command to launch them

spm8666p1_64_car:/data/local/tmp $ am start Browser_for_Android_2.3.5_Apkpure.apk

But getting this error

[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
that's great man!

for your issue I believe there 2 options, install luncher and make it default home, or you can look for the circle dot app it stays on your screen and put your favorite apps to show whenever you click on it.
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
Dude thank you so much for your help ! launcher did end up working

its awesome with wifi and all, pretty much an android device, but you have to do all the steps to get into it, and the screen is partially obscured by the overlay from one of the UI apps, so you cant press back or return, tried disabling but could not do that from the android system, probably i could from ADB.

Android auto is giving me a similar error

i did try to install them through the web browser but no go, although a lot of progress made, still could not fix the apple car play or get android to work.

Man i love troubleshooting :)

Also i noticed that when i connect an android mobile through USB, its not detected by anything, maybe i should look for an app that acts like android auto and connects to a phone and check what happens. or i am missing something i dunno.
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
no problem, I searched about the circle is called EasyTouch

try to find apk and install it, it will save you time reaching out to your apps and adding home and back buttons

also try to install google play apk
[Android Head-Units] EY3_2023:
also install ES file browser, is good file manger and you can install apps directly with it using usb drive
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
Easytouch is like magic ! such a good recommendation !

beyond that google play store crashes on startup, maps freezes on startup, waze also, i think some core services that android uses are not installed or something, needs more digging, but overall i found that apkpure is a good alternative for the app store for now.

Android Auto mentions some missing apps but crashes when you try to install them, will try to install them prior and checking again, this was a long journey !
[Android Head-Units] TheOneTheOnlyTheOne:
Did you manage to make it work ?

Which apps did you end up installing ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] robuk71:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] o0o.paw:
If you have TWRP and a backup you have done via TWRP just do a Restore in TWRP but only restore the EFS - ODM and ODM Image partitions only. That will restore your IMEI.

My note 9 had all zeroes and I could not use it for over 9 months (purchased a replacement). Found an old TWRP backup while cleaning out my PC and this fixed it straight away.

Always do a TWRP backup and ensure you keep a copy of it off your phone.

Hello Everyone,

I Have an Android 12 and an Windows 10 PC

Recently My Friend Gave me a Challenge to Waste 1000 GB Internet in One Day So I want to Ask How this can be Done

Please dont Hesitate to Share Your Opinions and I dont want Answers like to Download (Every Movies,Web Series,Applications,etc) Want an Easy Instant Method

Thank You
[General Topics] V0latyle:
Waste a terabyte in a day? Why would you want to do this? A lot of ISPs have data usage limits, and the more bandwidth you use, the less is available for everyone else.

The best way I can suggest to do this is find a very large torrent of open source/otherwise not copyrighted material. You can use tools like iperf to saturate your link. You could set up a continuous ping with large packet sizes and a reduced wait time, but this could end up getting you blocked as a possible DoS attacker.
[General Topics] the_arxyn:
Thank you volatyle for your reply i was just asking for general information
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
My device is OnePlus 8 IN2010, but currently I'm on OOS13-F15 IN2015. Everything was working fine without any issues. Last Sunday, I found link to a full ROM F15 of EU variant, then I extract the ops file into fastboot images and flash to the device. The flashing was successfully without any error msg. But then, wen reboot, the device won't turn on again till now. I tried many way but its even not recognized by Computer, no port, no EDL nothing at all.

So I really need if anyone used to face this situation pls share the information on why is it so and is there any solution for the current state of the device.

Thanks in advance, guys!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
It takes several tries while using different ports and cables.

Spoiler content hidden.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
I did bro, tried not only few times but whole night :)))) Besides, tricks like press and hold ( and keep holding ) 3 buttons and else I also did try. I even open the back cover, but not yet know where's the Testpoin :D
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
It seems that your device is a candidate for a replacement if you cannot enter EDL.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
In fact I considered its ded already, too. Since I unbricked many kind of devices and when I see its state, I already guessed. But what I wanna know is the reason that make him dead bro
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
Something along the way when you flashed the ops file that set the voltage too high on LPDDR5 which might have caused the official bootloader to kill the motherboard beyond MSM.

OnePlus uses same signature to sign all four firmwares, OP8, OP8T, OP8Pro, 9R all use identical signature, which means that PBL (Primary Bootloader) will load XBL (Secondary Bootloader) no matter which one you choose to flash.

Arguably, the reason why the phone died is because LPDDR5 RAM uses lower voltage compared to LPDDR4X, and just because there's no code to prevent XBL from setting voltage too high on LPDDR5, it leads to RAM getting overvolted and dying.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
This I know, but it applies for 8T more than OP8 since op8 only have one LPDDR4 variant, and also in the ops extracted image, there was only 1 xbl and xbl_config image, none xbl5. Thats why I feel weird.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Daniha:
You're looks like Chinese and I'm pretty sure you're. Why not you just make a call to service center or bring to him and they'll fix it in minutes.

Even you can help us for remote season.

By the way op8 have way bh force goto edl
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
Besides, I manually flashed it using fastboot cmd-line, not using MSM. So strange!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
At this point and juncture, it wouldn't matter which method was used to flash the ops file. Something along the way set the voltage too high which possibly damaged the motherboard.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
1stly, I MAY look like Chinese since we both Asian, but as in my profile is clarify enough that I'm Vietnamese. Besides, it does not related to the issue that I'm raising.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
Basically, its the only way for now to explain the situation, but to be honest, Im not so satisfy with it. Point is, I'm not trying to recover the device for myself since personally, I considered its ded :)))). But also I want to help all the information which may related to the issue, from there I will have clues to find out what was the reasons that killed it, then share to the community to prevent the same issues since even that Im quite experienced with OP devices but this is the 1st time I face this so it may be the new issue which comes with OOS13 or else.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Daniha:
You stil missed My POV. You need to visit service Center the only option left in this case. I can also fix but device need in hand.

Here everyone Provide you file but what if you're Not able to access 9008

Or another option is ufs dump
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
Keep me posted if you are able to pin-point the exact issue.

-- We can always learn from each other with a helping hand.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
Sure man, just like before, based on the information I have from our forum, I was successfully restore a dead OP 8T TMO with Testpoint trick after few months after it bricked. That thread, I believe still somewhere at 8T Forum :D
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
Pls kindly re-check my reply at #12
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
Anyone? Anyone have any information pls!!!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Xryphon:
The device is most likely dead if it cannot enter EDL mode. There have been reports of issues entering EDL mode when using a USB 3 port, so trying a USB 2 port might be another option.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LinhBT:
Tks mate, but I already aware of the USB 3.0 issue hence I always use USB 2.0 . And as I mentioned, I already accepted the fact that its dead ( more than dead :))) ) Just I want to figure out what was really happened that make it dead so that we can warn the others since I guess that this comes from the smt inside the Ofiicial Oneplus OTA package.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
There is an interesting write-up regarding your issue.

Not to mention that there is the possibility of corrupting the Param Partition that will cause EDL to not function under the MSM Tool with the old param mismatch.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] V0latyle:
Tried some experimenting on my Pixel 2

Is it possible to use fastboot update to update the device using the zip? No, fastboot update apparently expects to see a full update image starting with boot.img. Android-info.txt can be blank

Flashing system.img directly failed too, probably requires resizing /system

Tried to use this guide to resize system. Ended up nuking something important, device would no longer boot any image due to an authentication failure. Tried to flash factory firmware, after flashing bootloader and commanding reboot device is now stuck in EDL mode...but doesn't respond to EDL commands. Maybe only Pixel 3 and above are GSI ready?

What command did you use to try to flash the system.img and did you try to flash from fastboot or fastbootd?

You typically have to erase your system.img before flashing a new one, as well as the other partitions you've listed

@ieatabiscuit Here's more information on GSIs, although I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to know what you're doing especially on devices that do not support Treble out of the box.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ieatabiscuit:
Doesn't all the pixels support Treble? At least that's what googling it says.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] V0latyle:
I honestly do not know. I think it's only the Pixel 3 and up. The previous versions follow a similar format (ramdisk and kernel in boot partition) but either I'm an idiot or installing a GSI is more complicated than it is on Treble devices
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ieatabiscuit:
Here's something that may help someone. It directly references a detail about the pixel2/2xl in troubleshooting.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] V0latyle:
Good find.

I wish I hadn't bricked my Pixel 2...lol

I'll probably be doing this on my Pixel 5 when official support ends.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ieatabiscuit:
What are the differences between a GSI on your pixel 5 vs LOS on the same hardware? I have my 5 running LOS right now. When I tinker with my 2xl I'll post results, and what not.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] V0latyle:
A GSI does not include a kernel and is meant to be used "by itself" with the stock kernel. LineageOS is generally developed as a "whole" OS, including kernel and recovery, so it's not just a system image.

There are LOS GSIs though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ieatabiscuit:
Device: Taimen

Firmware/build: OEM Dec build stock ROM/kernel

Experiment: Repartition and install GSI

Outcome: Soft brick with flashing system.img, but success repartitioning. Flashing a full ROM unbricks

Did you try booting TWRP to install the GSI?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ieatabiscuit:
Not yet, I'm trying that next
