FYI for anyone that hasn't been around for a while (last time I checked in and bothered installing something new was 2020-04 so...)

Been away for a while cause got stuck in the pin /pattern unlock bootloop

easy fix (i knew it was this easy just couldn't find it for a while)

twrp > terminal > rm /data/system/locksettings.db > reboot

Booted back up read some threads about where things are at - not looking great, so sticking with Android 10 where everything mostly just works...

I only use this for casual games, youtube, netflix, movies, tv etc - so kind of need all the things that don't seem to be working with Android 12/13...

TWRP 3.3.x

factory reset / wipe data / dalvik cache

I copied the below files onto sdcard prior to rebooting into recovery mode

deleted everything else manually from sdcard via terminal (so the below files would stick around etc)

flash in order below

Hi all,

My n8000 was dead (unsuccessful flash or something). I recetly managed to flash a stock Kitkat Rom using odin: everything worked fine a part from the S-Pen which is not recognized.

I read somewhere that flashing an older firmware (jeally bean) might make the Spen work again, but I haven't been able to find a downloadable version of such firmware. I am currently waiting for the support of Sammobile.

Any other suggestion? Ultimately I need a working S-pen and the samsung note-taking app.

Thanks to all the good souls out there willing to help.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kuriiboh:
Hello, could you please have a look on my thread? I have the same issue

Can't load android system on nothing phone 1

I had the Nothing phone 1 since May 2023 It has never fallen off and there's no misuse or water damage. I never rooted my phone or done anything. Also battery is not damaged or dead it still recharges normally and reaches 100% On January 31...

xdaforums.com

Can I safely use TWRP in this case to create a backup of my userdata without any risk of wiping data? I have never used TWRP before and I'm not sure if it's applicable in this case.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Hi

first of all :

Doing a factory reset will wipe ALL data on the phone and AFAIK there is no option to recover the data on the phone later.

I do not have a Nothing phone 1 so I can only guess here:

If there is a TWRP image for the Nothing phone 1 (TWRP images for other phones will NOT work) you can try to boot the phone from the TWRP image:

Connect the phone via USB to your PC; boot the phone into the bootloader; and issue on the PC

fastboot boot <TWRP_Image_file>

This command does not install TWRP on the phone and also does not destroy any data on the phone.

If the phone boots from the TWRP image you can access the data on the phone and copy it to your PC using adb.

But from your messages I guess the bootloader is locked on your phone so it will not boot from the TWRP image file.

If the bootloader is not yet unlocked you should not unlock it now because unlocking the bootloader will wipe ALL data on the phone.

Another option might be to boot the phone into the recovery :

Connect the phone via USB to your PC; boot the phone into the bootloader; and issue on the PC

fastboot boot recovery

I don't know which recovery is installed on the phone but some recoveries support adb (either direct or after enabling adb in the recovery menu). If adb is enabled in the recovery on the phone you could then copy the data on the phone to your PC using adb.

To test if access via adb in the recovery works boot the phone into the recovery and execute

adb shell

on the PC.

And there should be an option to view the recovery log while in recovery mode : there might be some hints why the phone does not boot anymore in that log.

>>I downloaded the latest nothing phone update zip file (around 63 MB) but it didn't work... on cmd it says: failed to open file, no such

>>file or directory.

If the phone is using A/B slots and the problem occurs after the last update switching the active slot might also be a solution:

To check if the phone uses A/B slots boot the phone into the boot loader and issue:

sudo fastboot getvar all 2>&1 | grep slot-count

The output for phones with A/B slots is:

(bootloader) slot-count:2

Reinstalling the same OS (!) on the phone via fastboot or adb should (!) not destroy the data on the phone and might be a solution. But IMHO you need a full OS image for that (63 MB seems to be too small for an OS image).

But you should check this option with users that know more about the Nothing phone 1 then I before trying that.

And it is usefull if you post the commands you're using the error messages on the phone

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kuriiboh:
I got the FULL OTA file of the latest update and it's 2 GB in size

The ota file is in the platform tools file (where ADB is)

I tried to sideload and I got failed to read command : no error

and on phone I get messages like: (adbd status 5)

I tried some solutions like:

large address aware, because I found out when I was searching that windows in case of large files (like the one I'm trying to sideload) would fail to allocate enough memory for the file.

I have installed USB drivers and even the Qualcomm 9008 driver

I have installed ADB interface and Android bootloader interface

And still wasn't enough fix.

Also I tried to use shell command in adb it returns error: closed

I wanted to use pull to get files from phone's internal storage but I think since shell returns closed so it's not possible? or there's another way I'm not aware of?

I have attached screenshots of both cmd and messages I get on the phone after the sideload.

If I used fastboot to boot boot.img will this get the phone to operate normally with my data in it?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
From the screenshots, it looks like you're doing it right.

So the problem might be that adb can not connect to the phone. I never used adb in Windows so I can not really help to check or fix this.

But if the adb connection is working you should see your phone in the output of the command

adb devices

after you started the sideload on the phone.

correct, if adb shell does not work adb pull does also not work

AFAIK that does not work.

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kuriiboh:
yes adb devices shows my device with serial number

also in fastboot it does show my device.

Is the problem lays in the locked bootloader? as I have mentioned before.. my phone is not rooted or modified.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
probably yes ( I do not have locked phone to test that

Did you check recovery log for some useful messages?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kuriiboh:
about slots... I tried getvar all

partition name is: super

and I tried fastboot set_active a and it returned error: device does not support slots

I tried set_active b to double check, it returned the same message: device does not support slots

about the recovery log, I found some stuff that could be hints on the issue like:

failed to load bitmap cancel_wipe_data_text
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
so the phone has only one slot and therefor you can not switch the active slot to the previous OS image.

I fully agree then with the answer in the original thread:

And the imporant remark:

Flashing another ROM might work but to boot the phone from another ROM then the one that is currently installed you must wipe all data.

If flashing the ROM does still not work you need to find someone that knows more about flashing the Nothing Phone 1.

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kuriiboh:
I tried again in adb and yeah I found it:

Current slot is b

I tried to switch slots but it failed.

I have attached a screenshot.

I'm thinking of uninstalling adb and reinstalling on my pc. I will purge everything. I remember I tried to download adb platform tools and I have downloaded the minimal adb fastboot setup too... This could be the issue.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Strange, the phone should automatically boot from the other slot in case of an error then.

Anyway, to change the slot the phone must be booted into fastboot mode:

adb reboot fastboot

(see https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-manually-switch-the-active-slot.4499789/)

But that may also not work if the bootloader is locked

btw

>>I tried again in adb and yeah I found it:

"in adb" means what?

Hi, I have the same problem with a galaxy S22 but I don't have TWRP. What can I do?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Hi

I don't see a TWRP version for the Galaxy S22 on the official TWRP website https://twrp.me/Devices/Samsung/ but there is a XDA thread about a TWRP for the Galaxy S22:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-s22-exynos2200-series.4437401/

But TWRP can only be used if the bootloader of your phone is already unlocked

[XPERIA X1 General] kuztardd:
Hi there people.

I have a Tomtom ONE v2 device.

with my old phone, i would pay a yearly subscription to get the traffic updates. this would work by bluetooth pairing my tomtom with my phone (K800i). tomtom would then get my phone to GPRS data from TOMTOM about where all the traffic issues are..

But when i try to do it with the X1i, although it will see the phone, when i try to access the data and get an update of the traffic, it says: "X1i The required features could not be found for this phone"

.

Any help would be appreciated from you guys out there who may know how to sort this one out?

Traffic updates are important to me :o

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 General] kuztardd:
Does anyone have any ideas?

surely a phone such as this should integrate with TomTom?
[XPERIA X1 General] scottca:
Hi,

I believe this is because Microsoft removed Bluetooth DUN (Dial up networking) from Windows Mobile 6 - This has been replaced with PAN / Internet Connection Sharing.

TomTom currently only support DUN and not PAN

Aparently DUN was removed and the operators were able to add it into their ROM if they wanted to, just not many carriers did..

I have not got the exact threads to hand as im at work and they are bookmarked on my home PC, but if you search this forum (or google) for "Bluetooth DUN WIndows Mobile 6" or "BT DUN Windows Mobile 6" there are some threads which detail some fixes - I think there may be an aditional CAB file and registry tweaks required to get it working...

If you cant find them ill post back on here toinight with the links I found..

Cheers,

Craig
[XPERIA X1 General] kuztardd:
Wow, thanks, I have found a few articles about installing a CAB file

WM6_BT_DUN.cab

Hopefully it is as simple as installing it..I will have to wait till i get home to try this...

You are a star for pointing me in the right direction. Pints are on me!!! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] scottca:
Not a problem :)

I have been looking at this over the past couple of days, would you mind letting me know how you get on with it and if it works?

Cheers,

Craig
[XPERIA X1 General] kuztardd:
big smiles around here...

it works..

top marks!

thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] at45:
I installed this too just now, but DUN isn't listed in Bluetooth Supported Profiles
[XPERIA X1 General] kuztardd:
what tomtom do you have?
[XPERIA X1 General] at45:
That's irrelevant. DUN should be listed in Windows Mobile before anything is connected.
[XPERIA X1 General] kuztardd:
easy tiger :-)

For me, all i did was install the cab file as mentioned above onto my phone, soft reset, and then tried paring my tomtom to my x1 and it worked.

cab files is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21

(for pairing the phone has to have bluetooth on, and is visible to other devices)

comm manager: settings:bluetooth: mode:

The pairing was done from my Tomtom One V2, not from the phone. The phone just accepted the pairing.

On a tangent:

Remember though that using wifi at the same time as bluetooth turns bluetooth off..

but it can be fixed by reading this thread:

[FiX] Bluetooth turning off with MortScript - xda-developers

My X1 also does not show up a DUN profile

comm manager: settings:bluetooth:profiles

but heck, it still works! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] scuvigny:
Hi, I have followed the instructions and my tomtom go 700 now sees the X1 properly. However I have some questions:

To setup the data connection, what phone do you select in the list on the TomTom? Or what custom settings should we use to connect to the internet from the tomtom using the X1.

Thanks,

Stephane

[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hello everyone, I would like to introduce the "AutoZen app". Since the dawn of Android Auto for phones, I have tried to make this app better and better. I'm a single developer and I develop this app in my free, I know there is a great options like Automate (but is not longer in development). so I decided to make my own version , with touch of material You. AutoZen can work as a navigation app but also as a launcher, there is a launcher mode in settings/themes, where you can select different "dashboards" and widgets that I made, I will keep updating this widgets and I will make it better.

Also data privacy is really important so I don't collect any sensitive data or information, only the necessary data for crash reports and some analytics events.

you can dowload here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zenthek.autozen&hl=en&gl=US

Features

Turn by turn navigation (powered by Mapbox), everyone loves Google maps but unfortunately is not possible to "embed" GMaps navigation , mapbox is nos perfect but is great tho, I'm looking the possibility to integrate Here Maps and navigation but I'm still testing this feature and is also pricey.

Navigation Launcher, if you don't like my turn by turn navigation you can "launch" your favorite navigation app like Waze, Google Maps, Tom Tom and so on after a destination is selected

Built in call: if you you set my app as default call app this will give you full control within AutoZen so you don't have to leave the navigation screen to answer the call, built in with contacts, recent calls and a dialer

Messaging: play aloud incoming messages from Whatsapp, telegram, signal, slack,.. , reply using voice input, mute specific messages or all messages.

Built in music player: select your favorite music player like Spotify and control your music (play/pause, rewind and next song),

Light/dark mode

Speed cameras : Alerts for static speed cameras

Speed Limit

Weather: Built in Weather

Built in calendar: Easy to find your calendar events and one click navigate to the meeting

Voice commands: I use my own "algorithm" to recognize commands like, navigate to "home/work, street 123...", play music, stop music, weather and some others

Known limitations:

Music:

Unfortunately due Android limitations i can't incorporate more actions for music, i applied for Spotify SDK but they only accept certain partners.

Voice commands

is not 100% accurate but i'm working in ways to improve using AI, also I plan to incorporate google actions so it would be possible to use Google Assistant

Voice recognition sometimes is not 100% accurate but this depends of the device and microphone, this comes from Android platform and if the place is too noisy the voice recognition is not always the best

[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
Will car manufactures with built-in Android Auto recognize the variations of AutoZen or is this app strictly a stand-alone for devices only?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
for now is stand-alone for devices only, but I'm trying to figure out how to "hijack" Android Auto more like a mirroring, but not success yet. so sadly for now will work as stand-alone app

[Android Apps and Games] sebaskitten:
this app seems cool.

got it mostly setup and configured on a xperia 5 ii with root forced on android 10.

also got it going for the prem subscription.

it work's quite well in the smallest official DPI settings.

currently using the coolwalk launcher and it looks sweet. but it's missing some more customization options.

also only really room for 2 widgets. even though. for example.. the speed cam and speed limit could easily be combined into 1 widget rather than both having to take 2..

i plan on using it along side android auto. the navigation will be on the phone with music control trough android auto.

if you do seek some suggestions and stuff let me know.

*also* the music widget like's to bug out quite a bit with apple music. it just stops updating it seems.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Thanks a lot!!!

yes, about the widgets, I did some of them as alternative, not is become more popular this launcher mode so I will work to bring more widgets/ small space, I will check about the applie music, if is possible and you can make a quick video and send it to me that would be great so I can see the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] sebaskitten:
i'll try to figure out how to reproduce the issue. it has not happened again so far.

basically the music status and display would freeze even trough music was still playing/another track was playing.

but switching between music apps from the drop down menu fixed that.

[Android Apps and Games] sebaskitten:
Maybe an neat suggestion idea.

if the user taps on the little status icons on the bottom right corner in for example. coolwalk UI. open up the notification center.

it would make easier access to the notification center than having to swipe a bunch of times for it to come down.View attachment 5909907View attachment 5909905
[Android Apps and Games] sarruman1:
Hi, I have concluded there are two issues with the (otherwise great!) app of yours:

1. There's no possibility to deactivate the battery icon, so if used in a car head unit, users see a useless battery icon which just spoils the whole experience

2. As you can see in the picture attached, names of apps used don't seem to fit ( aka be displayed) that nicely. Also, what's the point of that (still) progress bar given that some apps don't need it and is partially covered by the status bar underneath?

Just some thoughts... Please keep up the good work.

Thank you in advance for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Thanks a lot for the feedback, about the battery, I will add a settings to remove this option, is on my todo list.

is odd, I will try to fix it, can you tell me what devices are you using?, or resolution/dpi so I can take a look and fix this.

and can you tell me which apps don't need it so I can see what I can do, or remove it if they don't offer this info,
[Android Apps and Games] sarruman1:
Well, turns out that the scaling problem may be caused by me setting display size and font size (in android settings) to "large" . Could the app handle this accordingly, please? Resolution of the screen is 1024x600, which is typical for these head units.

As for the redundant progress bar, from my experience, apps like navradio (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navimods.radio) , vradio (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ilv.vradio) -in general radio apps, I guess- don't need it, as it always stays still, not updating in tandem with the song playing.

Finally, one more question: in what way the app picks which media apps show up as available in the drop-down menu? A (quite popular) web radio app I've tried - car radio (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threedmagic.carradio) - is not available at all. How can I (manually?) add it?

Thank you so much for your help and time!
