Hi.

tl;dr

How can I extract from a backup made with "adb pull" ? Thank you.

more

Any help would really be appreciated here...

I have a backup that was made by booting to Recovery, then running:

adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 my_phone_mmcblk0_$(date +%Y%m%d).adbimg

How can I recover the contents, please?

According to fdisk, the backup archive (i.e. the .adbimg file) contains a GPT partition table, and 12 partitions (of varying sizes) of type "Microsoft Basic Data". The largest of them is 11.5G; I'm guessing that's where the data I'm looking for are.

TIA

EDIT: If it's relevant, I use Linux and macOS, and I'm comfortable with the command line.

Please is there anyone who can help with network unlocking this device for me. Bought it off eBay and tried DoctorSIM but was told their software doesn't support my model. Phone is fully paid off and not black listed.

Would really appreciate some help here. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
If it doesn't have OEM unlock in developer options then not much can be done other than ask Boost Mobile if they will unlock it I suppose.

You could try to get it returned though if the seller will accept it.

If the Ebay store page was wrong and you were sold an incorrect device according to the description then ask your payment method if they will help you should the seller not.

If you misread the Ebay store page or it was your fault and the seller won't accept returns then buy a cheap phone to recover as much as possible. You could of course switch to using Boost Mobile also =)
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] shilohboy:
Thank you for your response. I just checked and it doesn't have OEM unlock.

I have called Boost Mobile but they are asking for details of the previous owner of the device, phone number etc. I don't have any of that.

I didn't misread the listing on ebay. I thought I could get it unlocked just like the ATT and TMobile devices I have gotten in the past.

So...nothing really can be done here? 😭
[Google Pixel 5a] Disturbed_One:
I'll try and keep this short.

Plugged in my 5a yesterday day like I always do, got the charge sound, opened up instagram and the phone hard froze shortly there after and the screen shut off.

I unplug the device and it won't power up or restart with just the power button. Plug it into the computer and get qdloader 9008 driver loading.

Unplug and wait again.

Finally got a boot with volume plus power buttons, Now I get an android logo being operated on with something like "no command input" or something.

Powered the phone down and this time it came back up like nothing happened, so I blew it off as a fluke. Phone works perfectly the rest of the day.

Shoot to that night, I plug it in the same charger again the same issues repeat.

Only this time the phone does not come back. Screen acts dead, same qdloader driver will load when plugged in.

Searching around it seems I've bricked the device somehow with this cable charger combo I've had for years.

So I'm here to confirm my fears or luck out and find there's a fix maybe.

Hello!

More portable USB drive and pendrive "not removable" type, always created $Recycle.bin folder.

How to fully disable $Recycle.bin folder create?

Need: plugged drive do not modify filesystem with $Recycle.bin or System Volume Information

Not need any reply this text: "hide hidden folders". Need real solution.

I have old patch to "Open file" window size set to any size, and patched explorer.exe (not registry mod, real file patch). Need real patch to disable folder creating.

Recycling disabled: all drive zero bytes and disabled.

All registry tips not working:

HKCU/Soft/MS/Win/Curr/Explorer/BitBucket/NukeOnDelete=1

Gpedit only disable "move to recycle bin", not disable folder creating. Not working.

Now created in all drive $Recycle.bin FILE with zero byte, now folder not created... all Windows starting (or delete files) say: Corrupted Recycle bin, recreate? ...popup message for all drive (with this fake file).

But a quick look doesn't show that explorer.exe would contains $Recycle.bin string, so maybe it's obfuscated some way or it's in some DLL that explorer.exe calls.

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] alexkalicharan:
I recently replaced the BLP745 in my 7T Pro with a battery from AliExpress:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002600978294.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.10.73251802ieDtdn

So far it's been good, I did the first charge to 100% last night. The phone was unplugged this morning at 100% and after two hours, battery is down to 97%. A lot better than my original battery which would have dropped from 100% to about 85% in about two hours.

It's premature to say if this battery will be any good, so I figured I'd ask if anyone else has had good luck with the battey they bought for their 7T pro?

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Xerionius:
I have bought a replacement battery for my 7T Pro from rounded.com, which seems to be genuine, but arrived in an overdischarged state. The voltage of the cell was so low that the BMS disabled output. When I awakened the battery by supplying a very small current to it, I measured the cell at 2.2 V. At this point, the battery might have taken some damage which may cause higher self-discharge and lower capacity and in the worst case it might even be unsafe as LiPo-batteries that were overdischarged at some point can develop internal short circuits when cycled.

Before replacing my current battery (which still has 84 % health), I wanted to make sure the replacement battery ist still good, so I charged it using a LiPo charger. It reported the capacity to be at 91 % percent of the design capacity, so it's at least better than the old battery, and I suspect the measurement to be on the low side.

Now I have discharged the battery to 3.8 V and will be watching how the voltage decreases over the next month to see if it has an increased self-discharge rate.

I suspect that all genuine replacement batteries you can buy right now suffer from this since OnePlus stopped battery production in 2019 or 2020 as far as I know, and if they haven't been charged since, they will have self-overdischarged by now. It's possible though that OnePlus keeps the batteries they use for replacement charged.

Edit: I just saw that your replacement battery was manufactured in 2022. But I think it's a bit sus. It would surprise me if they were still manufacturing new batteries for such an old device. Also the label on the replacement battery differs quite a bit from the original one. I saw on Aliexpress that AccuBattery has reported your battery to have a capacity of 98 %, has this value changed since then?
[Android Auto General] Norbertus20:
Hello everyone,

I am looking for a solution to connect two phones in the car via Bluetooth at the same time.

I wonder if it depends on AA or on the car itself and its software.

I use AA cable in opel astra 19r. - works great.

A second phone would be enough for me to be able to connect via BT to handle calls. How to do it?

I mean that the connection of two phones should be simultaneous - that is, no matter which phone is ringing, the sound is heard through the loudspeakers in the car.

In the case of wireless headphones, the connection of two phones, a computer works without any problems - and the headphones "catch" on which device there is some action and switch to it.

Maybe someone found a way to do it? Any hints?
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Hands free calling is only possible with one phone if you use Android Auto (regardless if wired or wireless).

On some cars there is the possibility to connect a second phone to listen to Bluetooth media (but this depends on the car).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
GPS will be your main drain on the battery (I assume you DO mean GPS and not GPRS), especially if you have the screen on for all of that time.

Why are you flashing 2 ROMS (I assume that you mean ROMS and not rooms) every day? That too will take a lot of power if you are doing it on battery.

Every mobile version of windows comes without TF3D, that is added afterwards on the touch diamond by HTC and can be turned off if you don't want it.

Hi All,

I am also having this issue with weak haptic feedback.

in the sounds and vibration settings level for haptic feedback is full(highest level) but pressing the back button / taking screenshot / keep pressing volume button + to the max to engage the feedback / pressing the onscreen home button to engage haptic / etc all feels weak like level it is stuck a level one.

I turned off the haptic feedback option in settings / restart my phone still the same

NOW, BUT, i am using a MS Swiftkey keyboard. When i went to the settings of the Swiftkey keyboard and set the option to use it's own settings for the haptic feedback - set it at low to med settings for the haptic feedback feels strong (or the one im used too.)

im using Poco F2 Pro with MIUI 14.0.1.0 Global Stable (SJKMIXM) with Android 12 SKQ1.211006.001

i tried also the factory test (where you input those magic code - im using hidden settings app) to test the vibration (hardware) on my phone and works fine.

to sum up:

- the "android" haptic feedback that is located in settings > sounds and vibration is not working (feels like it is stuck at level 1 even though it is on highest level)

- MS Swiftkey Keyboard haptic feedback works fine and have no issue typing with haptic on feels strong

- factory test the vibrator (using magic hidden settings app) vibrator works fine feels strong.

???ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX W/O DOING FACTORY RESET???

???COULD THIS BE THE THEMES I APPLIED USING THE XIAOMI THEME APP???(MIGHT BE POSSIBLE MIGHT NOT BE THE ROOT CAUSE AS THERE ARE THEMES NOT COMPATIBLE ANYMORE WITH MIUI 14.)

attached screenshot - 1.jpg is the haptic for Android - not working / feels weak / looks like stuck at level 1

attached screenshot - 2.jpg is the MS Swiftkey haptic feedback settings and works fine on the keyboard typing / feels strong
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] manthes:
You are right. swiftkey vibration is stronger so the real vibration isn't so weak.

I think that it is kernel problem and we are unable to change vibration density with stock kernel with app's like kernel auditor and i didn't find any magisk module for that.

Also i don't know if changing kernel will be a problem with my touchscreen drivers
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] farhanshaikh671:
my phone is giving weak haptics since the previous miui version. however the strength seems to change time to time automatically. maybe its a weird miui implementation to slow down wear and tear of the vibration actuator.

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] arnv2004:
So, I recently unlocked the boot loader of my phone, Redmi Note 11 (spes). The thing is due to water damage I had to change my Screen and certain components. Obviously to stay cheap, I installed a Third party Screen and Didn't care much. So today when I tried installing PixelExperience and other Cutom ROMs, Things weren't working like they should. It turns out, the custom rom kernel didn't have support to third party replacement screens. So I tried to root my MIUI Install and Backup certain files, like Kernel and other Stuff, so that when I install Custom ROMs, I can replace the new kernel with my backup kernel. While doing that I accidentally flashed a wrong image to the persist partition. I tried decompiling the official ROM, but didn't find any persist.img file, like literally it screwed up the whole Partition Table so bad, I can't even revert to orignal State. Here are the log files, which I think might help.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] chickendrop89:
Custom ROMs use stock kernel (found in MIUI) due to lack of source code. I don't think the problems were kernel related, correct me if I'm wrong though 🤷‍♂️
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] arnv2004:
well, the problem was kernel related indeed, because after i locked my phone and pressed the power to wake it, but touch input was acting like mouse hover. Also, I don't really care about this issue anymore, I just want my phone restored first. I want is, Someome upload their TWRP Backup here, so that I restore it to the Original Condition.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Vagelis1608:
Can you use a fastboot rom ( MIUI )?

Also, if there is a way to run this command on a rooted terminal, like after booting a custom recovery:

ls -l /dev/block/by-name | grep persist

It should show you which block device has the persist partition. On mine it's sda2, I think.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] arnv2004:
I managed to find the persist.img, But still have other errors to deal with, like:

Failed to mount '/system_ext' (Block device required)

and other Messages as well like this for product vendor and system_root!

You know these fall under the super partition. And I am totally unable to fix these errors, even though I have the corresponding images from the miui payload.bin. But I will surely try your method to try to fix it. Thanks
