IIRC (this is a normal Linux command, but the method for obtaining an Android backup is pretty old) it is used to get a binary image of your selected partition. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] s3axel:
@krakout: that's correct, dd is used to create 1:1 bit per bit copies of partitions. When the device is encrypted the issue is that the 1:1 copy contains the encryption. When you do a new clean setup of your phone the encryption key is reset, which will result in the backups not being usable ... this means it should work on non-encrypted devices, but restoring full partitions has always been a risky business.

I do change phones quite often (oder reflash the existing ones :) ), my process for backup and restore is (you need to be rooted for #1):

Backup/Restore apps and app data using Swift Backup (or free tools like OAndXBackup) - sadly this does not work for all apps (mainly security critical ones like banking apps), but still for most

Backup and restore internal storage using ADB, either with Total/Double Commander and a plugin or using a python tool - connecting the phone via USB. Transfer speed is quite high (depending on phone and PC ~30-150Mbps). Positive here is that you automatically have a full backup of your phone on a PC :)

use Android native backup/restore for settings
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
@s3axel thanks for the confirmation and the write up! Seems like indeed these days Swift is probably the best option.

Damn I got excited when you mentioned the TC plugin, thought it was something for the Android version! Not using it on my PC (love my Directory Opus setup!) but I think I'm gonna try this🙂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 96carboard:
While it is technically possible to do a "dd" style backup by stopping the zygote service and dd'ing it to something like a USB stick, it won't be useful because the cryptographic keys tied to the data will not be accessible.

Despite being recommended by some people, I would caution against "swift" backup software. This is something you are giving an unprecedented level of access to (for example, it could access the internet, even without internet permission!) and therefore needs to comply with the highest level of trust and security, none of which can be guaranteed by closed source software written by someone you can't even hold accountable.

Instead, I would suggest Neo Backup: https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup (also available on F-Droid). This is OPEN SOURCE software, and you are therefore able to read every single line of code to verify that it is actually safe to use.

Others I see have suggested a TWRP backup. Believe it or not, this kind of a backup would actually be very similar to what you would achieve with Neo-Backup. However, the old "nandroid" backup is basically a historical relic -- like a "dd" backup, and didn't last much beyond the very very early solutions since it requires just so much storage space, and because its technically impossible without an external storage device (like an SD card) that is LARGER than the device's total internal storage. Even the name "nandroid" = "nand" + "android". Well direct usage of nand memory is not something you see any more, that was replaced by eMMC, which also was replaced by UFS!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] s3axel:
Many thanks for your reply, indeed it is all about trust and I agree with you on that you never know what a software will or can do. However this also applies to the so-called open source software because you (or, more aptly: I as a user) never know whether the distributed binary is really using only the published code parts or something on top....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 96carboard:
F-Droid is a repository for open source software, and they build the open source software themselves (as in the repository, not the software developer), and signed with F-Droid keys. They provide the exact source code archive used to produce the binary, so you know *exactly* what source code was used to build it.

Alternatively, you have the option to build from source yourself. Its not as complicated of a task as it seems as first.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] s3axel:
Many thanks and no offense intended ;)... I'll have a closer look at Neo Backup for the future...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
@s3axel wow, how come I missed this solution! From a cursory look, it seems awesome!

Pity it doesn't support backup services, but at least I can use MiXplorer as a document provider to pick up my NAS as a destination...

Which is better, AOSP or CAF-based ROMs?

CAF (Code Aurora Forums) based ROMs are much better. But AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROMs have their own advantages. CAF ROMs are essentially AOSP, but are optimized for Qualcomm devices which makes them noticeably faster, smoother and have better RAM management. Examples of CAF ROMs are the legendary Paranoid Android, Reloaded CAF, Pixeldust CAF etc. The list of CAF ROMs isn't that big as only few ROMs are CAF based. Your best bet is checking if the device has a stable Paranoid Android ROM, otherwise chances are close to nil. But Paranoid Android community follows a connoisseur, a reserve and mostly only focuses on OnePlus devices and similar high end phones. CAF ROMs however have far less features when compared to AOSP ROMs and are also sometimes a month or two (very rare) behind on security patches compared to AOSP and lineage which are up to date. Since features take the top spot for most people who switch to custom ROMs, AOSP ROMs are more in development. Examples of AOSP ROMs include: Pixel Experience, Havoc OS, Corvus OS Nusantara Project, Stag OS and almost all other Tom **** and Harry ROMs.

These days it is evident that AOSP and CAF ROMs share much of the code and the differences between them are starting to disappear. However as a POCO F1 user I can confirm that at this point of time, CAF ROMs feel much more quick compared to AOSP during app transitions, animations etc and have fewer crashes, bugs and have better RAM management.

For me as I don't care a lot about features but about stability and performance, the order of choice for a ROM will be:

CAF

Lineage

AOSP

I hope they keep updating CAF custom rom ;)

Hello everybody,

I would want to root my Erisin 8160CG head unit.

My first reflex was to try standalone (apk) "one click" rooters, but no success.

So I think that using USB is almost mandatory for that purpose, but as many other head units there are only USB-A ports and I didn't find any option to turn theses ports from host to devices. However I haven't try yet as I haven't male-male USB A cable (I just ordered it on Amazon)

I think that theses "one click" rooters' success will be limited, but who knows...

My last chance would be to use ADB and a custom rom. For that I saw that there's an option to activate ADB over Wifi on port 5555 (I'll post a screenshot here).

The question is: did somebody here ever rooted this kind of head unit?

As reminder, here my hu's features:

[Android Head-Units] Pascal06:
Ok, thanks a lot for your precision.

So, I looked in the head unit parameters. I found something related to Android upgrade at boot. I suppose that's related to unlocked bootloader ? Can you confirm that ?

[Android Head-Units] Pascal06:
Hello,

so I tried to update my head unit with the "kupdate.zip" they gave me...

First I wanted to veryfy if I can connect with ADB though each USB-A socket: can't connect, isn't detected by my laptop

I discovered a mini USB socket behind a cap, next to the screen: as above.

I unziped the kupdate.zip on a blank µSD, then insterted it on each slot (there are two, each next to the screen), then rebooted: nothing happened.

Erisin don't want to tell me the "reboot for android upgrade" password.

So this a crap.

Really annoying
[Android Head-Units] Pascal06:
Nice !

I found the password :)

I tried 1234, 8888 and finally 0000 and that was it :)

So, what kind of bootloader is this ?

View attachment 5819803
[Android Head-Units] Pascal06:
Hello,

so to sumarize:

I tried ADB and fastboot at bootloader on each USB-A socket: the devices isn't detected by the PC

I tried ADB and fastboot at bootloader on the front micro usb socket: the devices isn't detected by the PC

I tried the kupdate.zip they gave me on the two sd slot, with an usb stick on each usb port, with "MCU mise à jour" button (see #8), at bootloader : it gives "signature verification failed".

It really annoy me !

Somebody can help me ?
[Android Head-Units] Pascal06:
Is somebody has ever used this head unit ? Or maybe is it a clone from another brand ?

[G1 Android Development] start_developing:
Hello!

Could someone confirm that the Android system is sending out short messages without user interaction?

I am using my unlocked G1 with a different carrier and get SMS messages from the carrier telling me that some sms can not be sent. But I haven't sent any SMS and all the messages that I send get received by the receiver. So my consumption is that one of the preinstalled applications must sent sms messages. (perhaps in the direction of T-Mobile)

This behaviour started right after the activation of the G1 with the different carrier. Especially after restarting the system I get this messages and after that nearly every hour.

Here are some details about the system:

G1 unlocked

Carrier: Simyo

System: Android RC30 custom build (at the beginning I had RC19)

Network: 3G switched off / Wlan switched on

It would be nice to hear if someone has the same problems. I'm getting up to 100 SMS during the day from my carrier. (I suppose that they are auto generated)

Regards from Germany.
[G1 Android Development] SGTDavePwnage:
It sounds like the MyFaves service is sending SMS messages,

Id try using the modified RC8, this doesnt have the MyFaves App and is known to solve this problem.

Make sure you back everything up before doing the software change (Just in case)
[G1 Android Development] mrboyd:
Yes it does. We've already explored most of the issue in a previous thread.

This behavior comes from an application installed by T-Mobile (MyFaves) that you can not uninstall.

If you are using a custom build RC30 (I assume JF's one) switch to the UK TC5-RC8 from JesusFreke as it removes the crazy app. It works on a US phone and the functionality are the same.

If you have an official OTA-RC30 i'm so sorry but you're SOL and I would suggest to go and try to raise hell with T-Mobile if you can..

I hope you didn't get charged for those SMS...
[G1 Android Development] SGTDavePwnage:
Yes, heres the thread that I created when I discovered the problem on my G1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=444114

[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
I am on callmobile, a provider in Germany and have no sms sent unintentionally.

Strange but I read about the problem.
[G1 Android Development] start_developing:
Well callmobile is using the T-Mobile network right? So you won't get messages that are showing the failure of delivery.

I have updated to RC8 now and the sms hell is gone. Thanks to all the guys that helped me out here.
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
You're right, callmobile uses T-mobile net, but it's not t-mo itself. Maybe that is the reason anyway.

Lucky you, you've got root access. And I am so stupid: I read somewhere that there is no reason for having root access on the device at the moment and you should wait with root access if you were not a developer. As I was bored by the permanent notification for an update, I pressed YES and ... there goes my possibility for root access, auto rotation, use another provider without unwanted sms...
[G1 Android Development] popsi:
You could just try to send a normal SMS to the number 453, my guess it will not work on the network your provider is using. Hence the myfaves problem is not an issue as long as you're not roaming.
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
yes, you are right. 453 sms produces an error message.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Fytdyh:
Ideally, when installing a new rom, is it wise to perform a clean flash. That means wiping everything, like internal and data. That's the best way to ensure you won't get problems in the long run. Dirty flashing, what are you suggesting, allows you to keep your data when installing a new rom. It is prone to errors and bugs. Personally I always go for a clean flash.

Hi,

i have just bought an O2 Stellar (unlocked) from ebay. Until now i have always got my phones direct form the network so a used phone is a first for me. My current device is a Tytn (TM Vario II)

What do i need to do when it arrives in order to get it working with my Tmobile SIM?

I intend on trying some new roms on it after xmas, are there any that favour gps performance? i am hoping to do a bit of geocaching.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Welcome to xda-dev. The first thing you should do as a new person here is to read the wiki for Kaisers (which includes the XDA Stellar, O2s variant), also the sticky posts here. There's lots of info there that'll be helpful. I've never owned a Stellar, just the generic HTC version but I would imagine unless it's already been unlocked by the previous owner, it'll be sim locked to O2 so you may need to unlock it. The simple way to see if this is the case is to try your T-Mobile sim in it. I think it'll depend where you reside as to whether other changes will be required because not all T-Mobile network characteristics are the same and some locations have specialist/uncommon settings.

As far as ROMs with good GPS performance go, the current UK World Wide English Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM has very poor GPS performance here in the UK compared to the original Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM and that seems to be fairly common with many of the WM 6.1 ROMs although different radios teld to make a difference according to reports here. Again it'll depend where you reside.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ZootHornRollo:
hi,

the device had better be unlocked.. it is advertised as so! :cool: It is claimed it is only 6 months old and came unlocked from the network. I guess being only six months old it will have a 6.1 rom already on it so i'll see how i get on wth that first then think about putting the older rom on it.
