Please After install orangefox B2 erofs IMG in my oneplus 8 i Cant see storage internele for flash magisk zip why ?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Daturachan:
My phone is a OnePlus 8 Pro IN2023 running Android 13, build number IN2023_11_F.62 (official OOS13).

I have the same issue as @rmedure, even when flashing the image.

Can't give you a log since I can't mount /data 😓

Also, for some reason MTP file transfer doesn't work "out of the box", the device isn't recognized in "Device Manager", it just shows as "MTP":

View attachment 5859033

I have to manually select a driver by doing Update Driver > Browse my computer for drivers > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer > Show All Devices > (Standard MTP Device) > MTP USB Device.

I have to do this every single time I connect my phone to my computer, and my phone incorrectly shows as a OnePlus 8T.

Still can't access Internal Storage ofc 😅

Both /data decryption and MTP file transfer are working flawlessly with TWRP 3.7.0-13 Beta 3
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Wishmasterflo:
MTP file transfer is a Kernel thing. For my Orangefox for OP8t/9r build I had to update the file drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_mtp.c from the used OOS13 based Kernel to get that working in Orangefox.

These things is something Oneplus is messed up with OOS13 I guess.

Does it work on F.67 firmware on OP8P?

I have SPV M3100 and few months ago I broke my display so I bought new one from ebay

(http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=300256442884&Category=20336&_trksid=p3907.m29&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D1)

and there is not working touch panel after I replaced it.

Display is working fine, but when I tried to use stylus, touch panel didn´t response.

Could you please help me, where should be problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Check the connections of the flex cable, found out the hard way that it has to be just right or it may not work.

Test it before putting all back together so you can experiment.

There are many cables... :) Which one is for touch functiron?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] webfrm:
Okay so I forget I had my old v60 in the back of a drawer and I guess there is no ROM love for it., seems there never was. Would love to at least root my TMO since I own many a good programs for rooted phones but sadly no longer have one. I loved rooted phones for backing up software, as well as deciding network access with my old ROM Toolkit and such. This was a decent phone with 5G and would be the one I'd sadly risk a potential brick since it's way out of warranty and such but can't find any rooting instructions anywhere. The about phone says the SW TMO has on this is V600TM20M running what looks like android 11. Is there a way to root this old dog or not now? Just wondering as each time it boots TMO tries to install FACEBOOK (BOOO I don't like that social app) Amazon shopping and a bunch of bloatware I have to keep deleting. Really want to slim it down and take control of the it again.

[Huawei P40 Questions & Answers] onasre:
the touch of my Huawei p40 often freezes (quite often) z.b. Do not touch at 2 seconds then the touch somehow freezes or can't be used until I turn the display on and on the touch reacts again I was with an expert who told me that I should leave the phone completely empty and run then it should be fully charged in the off mode this I have already done but that did not help also is the display is not dirty exposed to rain or such someone has perhaps a solution how to fix the problem?

i took it to phone shop and they factory reset phone , when test it it was same problem , then they installed fresh copy of system (dload) and the problem did not go away , so they open it and removed the screen and reinstall it but the problem did not go away . they said it might be board issue .
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Canuck Knarf:
Anyone ever had this or done this. My phone was bricked . Got it flashed back to factory NE2210 ( it was on NE2211 android 13) . And yes pay through MSM credit. But heres the kicker.

The phone start up on Colors OS( factory China) . My bootlosader is unlock . I didn't even do setup or nothing..power off at the beginning , Reboot to fastboot . Opened fastbootd ... flashed the roll back android 12 NE2213 payload bin , let it complete. reboot to recovery , complete wipe ...booted up to android 12.

Here's where I'm stumped...why dose everyone say you need to setup ...click 6 times on build # ..open up developer options enable USB debugging..Hell I bypassed that went to fastboot and then fastbootd...and it worked..?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Canuck Knarf:
Dose fastbootd bypass adb..?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ues_t:
Now msmtool flashing will no longer lock the bootloader

No...not the one I used
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Churchisat9:
So here's the deal. I'm very smart.. but this is not my forte.(phones) my daughter has screwed up My wife and I phone. Along with my other kids phones as well. She has a school Chromebook and somehow we started getting games installed on our phones from the playstore and some weird rogue games. Looking at the permissions they have access to everything any anything in our phones. I did a little research after probing through hidden files on her Chromebook she stays on gotcha cc. And all types of http only gaming sites. I we have to constantly turn off our camera and Bluetooth bc it turns on automatically. I found out she can access everyone's phone and has also somehow made like 2 networks on my router when she was grounded and was getting free data while her phone was off?? I can't delete this crap. Anti virus scans are useless. I noticed Android developer in her cookies and also some studio. I have this **** attached to my bootloader and no reset can remove it. We have a moto g stylus 5g (xt2131Dl) and anything I put in to remove via my computer/USB cable it instantly corrupts it. She also had a bunch of wallpaper apps that seem to migrate to our phones.calendars clocks and things have these crazy permissions. I noticed my email now is workspace..? Or work profile. Can somebody hit me up and help me get rid of this ****. Oh by the way. It's on my PC desktop now and laptop. It's like my whole phone is a virtual machine.. everybodys. I can't update past anything released in 2019 and 2020. Help!
[Moto G Stylus 5G] maddog3030:
Wow....

First I take away her phones and laptops so she couldn't interfere.

Try factory resetting start with a router then the phones,

Motorola does have a recovery program for the phones,

rescue-and-smart-assistant - Motorola

#hellomoto | Discover our new unlocked Android phones from motorola and stay informed about our offers and promotions.

www.motorola.com

Then install an antivirus like Norton or something like that and let it run,

In the case of the laptops I pulled and trashed the hard drives get new ones and default the BIOS before you put it all back together,

If you're using Microsoft get the installation ISO on a thumb drive if the PCS are major manufacturers like Dell, the BIOS contains the licensing key so you won't have to buy it again

Good luck if she's old enough I'd ever arrested.

Just my two cents.....

And change all your passwords once you've got a good clean PC to do it from.

Ps dont connect anything back to the internet to your done sanitizing it all.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Churchisat9:
Maddog 3030 thanks brother! Yeah it's ridiculous. Like my mind is blown completely.. i definitely confiscated the two phone/laptop. You'll never believe what happened.. she freaking signed in through Roku on her tv.. the only thing I left in her room electronically. Furious. But I'm very grateful for you response I'm definitely doing that step by step. I can't believe we have to run our phones in safe mode in my own house 24/7. I'll see if I can grab some more verbage from some of the things I find. Alot of it is encrypted copy pasted on blank notepad on the laptop. However I did see chrome://sysinternals and flags in the browser history. She had been on. I'm just lost as to how.. is it all the Google cloud developer stuff or Microsoft or azure..what else.. the Roblox/gotcha stuff which the files are being put into.. like everyday our phones have like "software" update at the top of the screen . Like no matter what I turn off it automatically turns it back on I'm thinking through Bluetooth. Hey Ive searched and searched is there any possible way to run the Microsoft tool without a PC? And only on my phone? The laptop I have is a hp and the desktop is the windows all in one 27in. Completely knocked windows defender out. Funny thing is she's never once had possession of or even used our phones before. Hadn't sent anything to us that we've opened to give it access. Sorry to make this so long lol. But I know you guys are the ones to explain this to. I've googled/duckduckgo/chat gpt/YouTube and searched hours and days for an answer. I get anything from the tct malware to the developers of multiple platforms accounts. Each have pieces that are spot on. But nothing exact. Our phones are straight talk. I've even called them. No help. Caught my attention when she was having data somehow at school and her phone wasn't even active. But the data on my wife and I phones were crazy high. The usuage from multiple apps were around 900mb each in the span of a week.. just didn't think there was any way Bluetooth had anything to do with it because of the distance from her school at the time to our home was way too far. But whatever it is it definitely calls for our Bluetooth to be turned on and our hotspot also comes on too. EVERYTIME. It's some feature of it. And also was a dead giveaway after so long of it happening. Everytime our Bluetooth , hotspot and mic access would pop on she would be in the house on her phone being sneaky.. recently when I had enough and took the electronics and discovered all this stuff on it.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVENDev:
Introduction​

The goal of adX Launcher is to allow you to take advantage of our app enhancements, like ad and tracker blocking, directly from your device's home screen without requiring you to launch a separate app.

How to install?​

Our beta is available for everyone on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seven.mx.launcher

Alternatively, you can get our releases directly from GitHub as well. Please note installation via the apk from GitHub will not have automatic updates:

Latest: https://github.com/SEVENNetworks/adXLauncher/releases/tag/0.6.1

Previous releases: https://github.com/SEVENNetworks/adXLauncher/releases

What to expect?​

adX Launcher is currently in an early Beta stage. You may experience bugs while using the app. We currently support Android versions 9 to 13.

For the Beta, we have focused primarily on YouTube. We also have support for other games and apps noted below. We are working on expanding the app support and improving ad-blocking features. If you want an app included, please let us know!

Spoiler content hidden.

When you launch the app, adX Launcher will appear as your home screen, so don't get surprised if no separate "app" is launched. When opening the App Drawer, you will see an adX badge on any app we have enhanced, as seen in the screenshot below.

If you want to launch an app without enhancements, long-hold the app icon for a menu with launch options.

How to provide feedback?​

Have an idea for a feature or found a bug? We'd love to hear your feedback here, on our GitHub repo, or via in-app feedback.

In-App Feedback​

You can give feedback directly from the app by:

1. Long pressing the adX Launcher Home Screen

2. Tap "Home Settings"

3. Tap the overflow menu

4. Tap Send Feedback

How to set adX Launcher as default?​

adX Launcher is designed to replace your default home screen, and apps must be launched through it to block ads and trackers. To ensure apps are always launched with adX, we recommend running adX as your default Launcher.

To set it:​

1. Open Android Settings

2. Search "default home app"

3. Select adX Launcher as your default home app4.

To remove:​

1. Open Android Settings

2. Search "default home app"

3. Select your previous default home app

YouTube ad-blocking support​

adX Launcher enhances YouTube to allow for a nearly complete ad-free YouTube experience by removing video ads, banner ads in your video feeds, and ads when searching for new content. Some ads might slip through. We will continue to improve our ad blocking in the upcoming releases to remove any additional ads. Please send us feedback in-app or on GitHub if you see any ads and would like to help.

Disclaimer​

We use GitHub as an open-source bug tracker, but our source code is closed-source. We take our users’ privacy very seriously and only collect and use the collected information for purposes such as improving adX and communicating with our users. The full privacy policy is available at https://adclear.com/privacy-adx.
[Android Apps and Games] Arealhooman:
“Roblox” does not have ads.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVENDev:
That is correct. Most apps we support are primarily focused on ad blocking. However, some apps are added for privacy to block analytics and trackers from those apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Arealhooman:
Ah. And why is a separate launcher required for this? Doesn’t it just patch the app? Does it just patch the current app?
[Android Apps and Games] Arealhooman:
Also, since it seems like this is a privacy+adblocking app, would I be correct to assume the app doesn’t have any trackers in it? I do not have time to test right now.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVENDev:
We use the launcher as an entry point to essentially patch the app at runtime.

Yes, that is correct. We do give the option to allow aggregated anonymous debug information to be collected for bug fixes. Users are presented with this option on the first launch and may choose to opt-in or opt-out anytime in the app's Settings.

We have also attempted to make our privacy policy as readable and useful as possible for those who opt-in so they can understand what aggregated anonymous data we collect https://adclear.com/privacy-adx
[Android Apps and Games] Arealhooman:
Wouldnt patching the entire app at runtime be very ineffective. It takes lots of time. Isn’t it patched once, and then kept patched.

Does this require root?
[Android Apps and Games] Arealhooman:
Update: how can this ever work on apple without jailbreak? There is no way…. Is it dns/vpn based? The website talks about vpn, not launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] Furious Froyo:
It's not an iOS app. It's an Android app.
[Android Apps and Games] Arealhooman:
The website mentioned lists a iOS version.
[Android Apps and Games] Dayuser:
Where?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVENDev:
Hey, sorry about the late reply. So we run differently vs. patching, but it is very similar. What we do effectively is run another app within a process we control. This allows us to hook into that process at runtime and make modifications, such as removing ads. This method is easier to support updates of those apps vs. patching, which requires repatching, rebuilding, and resigning. There are still cases where updates can break our mechanisms, but with each update of adX, we become more robust.

Regarding root, no, this will not require root. That is one of the core benefits we want to get out of this approach. We wanted to make the app as easy to use as possible and remove the need for root, patching, VPN, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVENDev:
Right, this is not an iOS app. We do have a VPN-based & content blocker solution for both Android and iOS but the launcher is currently Android only.
[Android Apps and Games] Arealhooman:
I do not find this possible, but I will try it out
[XPERIA X1 General] fishywang:
Some GPS applications can only set GPS on COMX port, so, is there anyway to use internal GPS in such GPS applications?
[XPERIA X1 General] pf:
Hmmm, I don't understand the question. As I know every software can only communicate over COM. It should be COM4 -did you try it? I have no problem this way.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
The default is COM4, however there is an option in one of the settings to change it if you want.
[Moto Edge 30 Pro] FMR1978:
Hello everyone. I have a motorola edge 30 pro bought in the company "Claro Argentina". It is SIMPLE SIM CARD. The tray of the second sim card is blocked with plastic, but the place is there and, looking inside, you can also see the contacts of the second sim card.

Is there any method to enable the second IMEI by software for a second SIM CARD? Thank you very much in advance and greetings to all.
[Moto Edge 30 Pro] btriminio:
Amigo! asumo hablas español!

Pregunta tu telefono en software muestra la segunda IMEI??

Si es asi solo tienes que comprar una ranura para simcard de repuesto, una que no este adulterada por tu operador!
[Moto Edge 30 Pro] FMR1978:
Solo un imei.
[Moto Edge 30 Pro] Andrescity:
El problema es que Claro bloquea desde el sistema el segundo IMEI, así que la única solución que tienes es abrir bootloader y cambiar la rom (y de paso te deshaces de la basura que instala Claro en los teléfonos que venden). Probablemente se pueda hacer con acceso root, pero pues si puedes cambiar la rom a una "limpia" mucho mejor. Se que te pregunta es de febrero pero espero aún te sirva de algo.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ebod:
Help I'm in a pickle :-o

I successfully installed TWRP and rooted my SM-T295 the other day, but today moved on to attempting to install what I thought was the latest LineageOS 20 via the Andy Yan GSI pages

Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse Files at SourceForge.net

sourceforge.net

I d/l'd the file as an "xz" file to then uncompress via winrar into lineage-20.0-20230115-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img

I added the file to an SD card and went to TWRP to install. First I did WIPE of ALL except the SD card. Then went to install the image in the 'system' partition.

The flash appeared to go fine. bit on reboot it just just stuck in a bootloop. I've calmed it down by getting it into download mode ( ODIN can see something as the port ID shows ).

I believed I was correct to uncompress the "xz" file into an image??? I believe I was right to WIPE all except SD card??

So did I pick the wrong partition to flash ? or perhaps was the above lineage20 image just a step too far.

Its late tonight and I've not yet tried getting back into TWRP, I just hope I can.....

Any guidance appreciated.

Thx

Hello, maybe someone could point me in the right direction, just trying to make a complete backup of my phone ( samsung galaxy S22), so I could back everything up when needed, I have tried the 'titanium backup' and 'swift backup' tools so far, but they only back up the .apks, and my google login credentials are lost..

Really kind of lost browsing through some 11 year old topics about 'nandroid' and 'ClockWorkMod', do people use these tools today?

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
no way. use samsung smart switch and cross fingers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
I don't know Samsung from a hole in the ground.

If your device has Qualcomm EDL (and open Firehose loader) you could make a full raw backup of the entire flash.

That's not really helpful if you want to grab a single file but it means that you can restore your device to a snapshot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
@Renate restoring snapshot is not possible after factory reset, as the encryption key is not in userspace and therefore not in backup.

afaik there is no samsung signed firehose programmer leaked for SM8450 (and probably never will) and that device is also shipped with Exynos 2200.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Well, that's a good reason not to factory reset!

So, where is the encryption key stored?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
get some coffee and read about tee...

☕:)

encrypted file encryption keys are stored in files metadata, but DEK required for decrypting keys is random generated and securely deleted from TEE keystore on factory reset. I don't know exactly what triggers that deleteKey (it's another OS) but it can survive simple formatting userdata.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Well, I did have my second coffee already and I know about as much about TEE as I want (which is little).

My point being, if you make a full flash backup, then do whatever, then restore the complete flash, how is that not going to get you back wherever you were?

There are tons of ELF and data partitions used by TEE, TZ.

But are you telling me there is some state built into a device that is neither OTP or flash?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
right, it's not in flash storage emmc/ufs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myndeswx:
Appreciate te replies!

Is there any other popular android device which would support the earlier mentioned flashing method?

Thanks!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
I'd still like to know exactly where that is.

There are enough partitions called keymaster and other stuff.

Well, ok, but if you don't use factory reset a full flash backup is the best way to get you back to where you were.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
actually, it IS in flash storage, but you won't see it

https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replay_Protected_Memory_Block

;)

Note: for all devices running old (FDE) full disk encryption, the static hardware master key is used directly, and the encrypted DEK is stored in crypto-footer (userspace) therefore restoring full raw backup was always possible.

Google and Samsung devices in general used to lack raw access. However, things have changed with Samsung started shipping MediaTek SoCs on their low-/mid-range lines.

But if you're looking for full backup solution, don't use any DRM related or banking apps and don't care about losing warranty and Samsung Knox, rooting and removing encryption is possible so you could just use TWRP or Swift Backup.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myndeswx:
Thank you, that's the thing, as a matter of fact I already have tried using swift backup tool, but all google accounts are lost when backing up, and the apps that have used google to log in ( like play store, google maps etc ) are also losing the connected account.

Any suggestions on how to transfer the google accounts as well?

Thanks again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
actually Swift Backup should work. it looks like some extended Google One fork with optional root features. google account is required for it to work, not sure what problems you are facing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myndeswx:
The main issue for me was that it doesn't back up my google signed in accounts.

After reading for one more day I stumbled upon one of your very interesting posts on this thread - https://xdaforums.com/t/android-12-and-nandroid-backup.4420185/

Here you explain how it's possible to pull out the 'nandroid' image from the phone to the computer which is exactly what I was looking for, but couldn't express clearly.

That's 100% the functionality I am looking for

- Ability to pull out the exact state of the phone to a file on the computer

- Put it back in if things go south, and all my files are exactly as they were at that point.

1) From your experience, do you think it would be possible to achieve this on a Samsung phone?

2) As far as I understood, after doing a 'factory reset' I would no longer be able to put the old 'nandroid' image back, because of the encryption?

Thank you for your time!

P.s I would be happy to pay for a consultation on this topic from you or someone who has managed to do this.
