[Fuhu Nabi 2] StealthyWolf:
I recently found my sisters nabi 2 and before I put in effort into rooting it but I wanted to know if there are any roms worth flashing? I know there is one that gives Gapps but since the latest version of nabi 2 runs android 4.2.2 with Gapps it's not needed. The nabi SE runs android 6 and has almost identical hardware to the nabi 2 minus the extra memory and rear facing camera, would it be possible to flash the Nabi 2 with the SE rom? Any help and response would be greatly apprecated.

Hello.

I have a rooted phone.

Om that phone I have an app that stores its data in encrypted shares preferences.

The data is encrypted using AES encryption algorithm. The key that is used by the algorithm is referenced by an alias and I don't see an option to receive the raw bytes of the key by its alias.

How can I get raw bytes of the encryption key by its alias? Or how to read/modify encrypted shared preferences .xml document?

Has anybody investigated this issue?

I would be grateful for any information!

Thanks in advance!

i am asking out of decades of frustration confusion and helplessness

most people using roms want to get away from google and or carrier terrorism.

so why.

why in any possible spectrum of possible variations of reasoning is it remotely manifest that every link i click to download a rom so i can get away from those vile terrorists i am taken to a google drive website?

my security systems are compiled to reject threats to safety so i can not open those google pages

why are most people going to the least safe place to post a way to get away from google?

Hi, I'm looking for a $50-$100 amazfit wearable. I read that GTS4 and GTR 4 can count reps and sets. Is there any other amazfit that also does that? If it doesn't automatically count reps/sets, maybe you can record it manually?

I was also taking a look at the notifications and fitness app, but I don't know if I can track my strength workouts using it.

Thanks for your help!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] xray_:
Hi Guys,

My 5 years old 1+ 5 is started doing a strange thing. After some random time when I try to power cycle or reboot the phone it is going into EDL mode and not possible to start it up again. No led light even when charger connected.

It happened already 5 or 6 times in a row in the last 3 weeks. Only possible to get back the device into functional mode to re-flash with MSMDownload Tool but this is re-setting my internal storage and all the data is wiped.

It is a nightmare to get back TWRP, PixelExperience (12) and all the apps installed again. Even from backup. I don't have time to do this after a reboot or power cycle. And again this is NOT happening after each and every reboot or power cycle of the phone, but at just some random time when the phone is rebooted or power cycled intentionally. The Phone is NOT rooted, I'm just using the PixelExperience custom rom. So after recovering with MSMTool to stock ROM, unlocking boot loader, re installing TWRP and PixelExperience (and all the apps) I'm using for a while. I can do reboots , power cycle for some days but after some time when it comes again to a reboot or power cycle it is again going / stuck into EDL mode.

1. Why this is happening? (maybe flash memory physical corruption?)

2. How to exit EDL mode without wiping the phone? (Vol down + Power, Vol up + Power, Vol up+down, Vol up+down + power combinations DOESN'T work).

3. How to re-flash bootloader only with MSMtool OR any other tool IN EDL MODE without wiping /system, /data, and internal storage?

4. Any other suggestion? (other than replacing the phone? :-) )

Hi all,

I'm gonna buy an e-Sim, never had one before.

Wondering if, while waiting for my phone number to be moved to the new company E-Sim, if I can set voice calls to Sim and mobile data internet to E-Sim.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6] the_arxyn:
Your knowledge about esims is totally wrong they are not what u think about them esim is inbuilt in new smartphones which prevents the use of physical sim card and u can use multiple esims in one device like profiles they just need one time setup
[Google Pixel 6] gi.ier:
Thanks for your answer.

I don't have knowledge about esims, and that's why I asked esperts.

In any case, I know about profile, multiple profiles (and one profile at a time use on certain devices), my question was a little bit different.

When I had a dual sim phone, I set the first sim for voice and messages and the second sim for mobile data. Second sim had a much better signal and many more Gb plan.

Now I have Pixel6, I have a phisical sim (and my phone numer on it)m and I'm going to buy an e-sim from a different operator. They'll give me unlimited GB, so I thouhgt, while waiting for the old phone number to be transfered on the new e-sim, to use the esim profile for mobile internet data only.

Basically: voice calls: sim 1 (physical sim)

messages: sim 1

Mobile internet data: sim2 (e-sim).

That's what I was asking, is it possible?
[Google Pixel 6] the_arxyn:
Yea everything is possible
[Google Pixel 6] the_arxyn:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesham1216:
Hi Guys,

My car manufacturer only installed an application called carbitlink in the middle console, which can be used to mirror your phone to the car screen.

I wanted to use the raspberry pi or any other sbc (single board computer) inside the car to act as a phone that the middle console can mirror it by the app carbitlink.

I could access the console system (it uses some custom modified version of android) but this will void car warranty.

So the only solution is either mirror the phone or uses something to act as a phone (in this case raspberry pi, odroid c4... Etc).

The problem is that I installed different versions of android on a raspberry pi but the car console doesn't detect it at all when connected to it.

The car console uses USB A to connect to a phone to be mirrored. I have different phones that works normally when connecting to car console the carbitlink app works fine (installed on the phone, and on car by the manufacturer).

What do you think is the problem? That the Pi 4 doesn't have OTG? (I know the otg are built in the power usb c port, but is it an otg case?)

Also if I purchased odroid c4 for example tgat has a separate micro USB with otg feature, will it work? (since it have an otg micro usb as I read)

My car is having a middle screen with built-in some custom made android system that has some apps for the car to work and they added an application called carbitlink which is used basically for mirroring a phone (Android or iPhone) to the car screen.

I wanted to use raspberry pi 4 to act as a phone and be mirrored to the car by installing the application carbitlink on raspberry pi 4 (usually the application needs to be installed on the phone for mirroring to the car).

I installed two of Android builds (13 and lineage 12), but the car screen system does not detect raspberry pi 4 as it is not there at all.

Car detect any phone with application carbitlink installed just by connecting the USB from the car to the phone but not to raspberry pi.

I read a lot about OTG and I am not sure if this is the case?

USB C on the pi should work as otg right?

Car having USB A

I connected the car USB A to raspberry pi 4 USB C

It gives enough power to the pi to startup and run but carbitlink is not detected by the car...

Any ideas?

Will odroid c4 with otg works?

It goes like this, I check my sms messages, a link catches my desire, I click on the link, and strange things happen to my phone and my spouse's behavior... I notice my carrier shows sms messages that my phone never told me about, often followed by a big data transfer...

Which spy apps can be installed via sms? How can you find them? Any way to find concrete evidence of them?

Can any of them put an overlay on your screen to hide? Can any keep your phone on if you attempt to power off? Rid my device without a factory reset? Can an app be installed via sms without telling you?

These issues have been argued at length from inside my circle, so I am going straight to the experts...

Yes one way to fix this is fix my marriage, but I ask for other reasons as well

I really wanna take a guess and say that the "certain someone" once ran around here proudly proclaiming that MSM can never be hacked and we must always pay.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
This is disgusting. Make sure to forward this post to all the tech blogs and get some proof over to some people (redacted obviously). OnePlus/Oppo need to be taken to task for this. The fact that they intentionally changed packages in order to brick people trying to change regions is actually something they can be sued to oblivion for and you have all the proof. A company cannot knowingly cause damage to someone's property like that.

Also, this cements my choice to never have anything to do with OnePlus again.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] g96818:
That really sucks. It's probably that OppoTech123 scammer who claims to be illegally leaking OPPO MSM tools, just to charge you to use it.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
It absolutely is. There's nobody else who would gain from this that has been participating in those threads. I mean... the username is literally OppoTech...
[OnePlus 10 Pro] beatbreakee:
👀 unfortunately i cant really confirm or deny anyone... but i will point out this... look into the thread on our 10 Pro forum, where i dropped what ive tried... completed... how i came up with the idea... who helped me in the right direction, and what i was planning as my next steps... Then you will be able to get a list of users who you can each do your own sleuthing.

Again this is not to identify the person directly... but if I was someone who felt deceived or wanted to know who i could eliminate from my conversations and dm's when they REPEATEDLY ask the same or similar questions in other XDA forums for other devices by the same mfg.... I would compile a list of everyone in that thread, then cross off every name that i know has a good rep here, all of the ppl that i have a history with... followed by any names of members who are moderators, or have threads of their own which they provided FREE, instructions/applications for helping remove or mitigate some form of restriction. (root... custom kernel... rom.... bootloader... etc) and then the list of remaining names should be pretty short. Finally take out any SENIOR members, because most ppl who reach that status are OG and not a heartless CASH GRABBER who is only here to spy for his clan of thieves, extorting ppl in need of assistance. Finally take the final few names, and check out all of their posts and replies to see if they follow a pattern , and also if they are only on threads of devices by the same manufacturer.

Any names beyond all those categories, i would NOT do DM's with, or reply directly to any informational requests from those users. ESPECIALLY if they advocate some form of payment to themselves for services that are requested in Crypto. All red flags, and reason for suspicion. But thats just my opinion of how i would decipher and determine exactly who i will stay away from. But actually its worse, because NOW weve been informed that we have ppl here who will sabotage and drop FALSE accusations in formal reports to companies, just so they can keep making $100 a week, by eliminating the people who are working on a "Free For All" solution....

Just sayin'
[OnePlus 10 Pro] beatbreakee:
I mean REALLY... they straight up called me a "Malicious Hacker", who is trying to destroy the security of all their devices! .... How am i trying to destroy ANYTHING? When im actually just trying to give users a reason to still buy OnePlus devices.

Cuz when they release the 11 in a few months... i truly believe their sales are gonna decline almost 10% worldwide! And MAYBE if the company saw that several community members were working on ways to make a tool that FIXES the issue they created... they might rethink their rollout and drop us a repair tool when it drops...

It has been a long time since I have participated in any forum at all, but this, oh my god THIS.. it is on an another level.

First of all, many thanks to you and to all members who are trying very hard to give free of charge support, and fk these trash companies. Your times and efforts are appreciated.

I was deeply involved in the warez long time ago, and I just want to say that cracking/patching the MSM tool is not that hard. In fact, it is a very easy process compared to what I have experienced and witnessed with more complicated protections. It takes one dedicated releasing group to do the job once and for all.

I hope that one group will see this post, take it personally (which they usually do xD) and give OP and its team who is certainly reading the treatment they deserve.

This post proves that they are going for the money, nothing else. Hope people who said the rubbish bla bla bla of protecting devices, security issues, etc will change their bunk mindsets.

Thanks again, and hope you will be safe.

[OnePlus 10 Pro] beatbreakee:
thanks man... luckily i downloaded all the FW that were on the original post too... i only wish i had been a luckier person and bought my 10T prior to June. Cuz the 1st groups here that were working on rooting the 10Pro, and 10T , spooked Oppo into removing Fastboot directly from the rom. I would love access to the newer tools that QC uses. And im not doing anything that they would consider illegal , since i was directly told that "Any app that is leaked, or released is well documented prior to it hitting any public servers, because they supposedly keep a tight leash on active programming applications, and the only ones that make it to a state that can be 'hard copied' is apps that are decommissioned as out of date and unsupported. So if any app is found and functional, it can be freely used without any fear of legal action." They actually encouraged the use of "Found" Qualcomm apps, because it might reveal another security flaw that they need knowledge of so they can patch it in future versions.

But i appreciate the offer. Its just nice having someone else who can personally confirm what i stated about them changing the files. Companies like OPPO/BBK dont have the resources to dedicate a division to combing the whole internet looking for clues as to what HAS and HASNT been successful in bypassing their security. They rely on ppl like the one who tried snitching me out, and the actual chip mfg reports to change anything related. But the qualcomm guy i talked to seemed rather surprised when i mentioned "Charging a fee to people who brick their phones, to use the MSM Tool and recover it!" .... lol i dropped that bit of info on purpose, cuz if ANYTHING is illegal, it is THEM charging money for something Qualcomm intended to be used by repair techs for free!
[OnePlus 10 Pro] AkayamiShurui:
