well, unless there are hardware limitations, ex : missing pin or those htc devices are using special jacks; i don't see why it won't work in x1 since it's more than 90% similar to Pro and HD, but perhaps it will need more than just a simple registry hacks.

I guess this all depend on the kindness and dedications from many smarter guys in entire x1 communities.

Novice got Realme C2 stuck in bootloop PLEASE SAVE ME!!!

I was flashing TWRP into it at step of flashing vbmeta.img ; then a usb connection broke and it ran into bootloop

adb not establishing conection between device and windows

Buttons uneffective (bootloop continues with blacked screen when pressed)

An anonymous button combination gets me to

But still can't do anything feasible

bootloader is unlocked

Please help me I only have this phone for my all my work and academics. Though I have a pc to follow your solutions here, looking forward.

There doesn't seem to be a thread for the G31 and this was the closest to it...

Is anyone able to guide me on a rollback from Android 12 to 11 on a Moto G31 or any other similar phones? I've read things like not being able to lock the bootloader again .. is it really not worth doing this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DivineSEnse:
I second this request. I've looked at some guides online, but it seems the rom files names don't match up with whatever commands I'm being told to flash using fastboot. For example the command is to "flash bootloader bootloader.img", but i only have boot.img and so on. Also I have a lot of more sparsechunk files than I'm being told to flash.

It would be great to get a correct guide on the fastboot flash process for the stock Android 11, as Android 12 on this device unfortunately is laggy, battery draining and slow to charge.

The rom I'm trying to flash is XT2173-3_COFUD_RETEU_11_RRWDS31.Q3-26-83-7_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid50_CFC.xml from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/cofud/official/RETEU/

this one should be done before any of the flashing commands?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdauser1620:
Well first you flash vbmeta and vbmeta_system with disable verity (Img file contain zero data). You leave out these two partitions when flashing back with stock batch file as you want these two with nulled data and disabled verity. Disabled verity should allow you to use older rom but you should block updates of the phone since you do this for having previous rom.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DivineSEnse:
Aah I see! I got the preflash validation errors on my downgrade as well. However this totally bricked the phone. So it has been dead now for a while. It recharges but does not turn on, does not go into recovery mode or fastboot, is not recognized by the PC. No data is being transfered over USB when it is connected (Tried Wireshark's USB packet sniffer on Linux). Does not respond to anything.

This seemed to have been caused by the preflash validation error (I did have an unlocked bootloader before I flashed, but didn't do the vmeta and vbmeta_system flash first.)

I guess someone more up to speed can tell me if there is any way of getting it back to life, and what happens to it if downgrading without flashing vmeta and vbmeta_system first.

- Is it stuck in some kind of boot loop and is there a way out of it so it would be able to communicate over USB again?

I planed of doing by downloading the Full OTA and install via "Oxygen updater" app.

Is safe to do so?

What is the impact? Will it wipe my phone? Something else that I need to be careful about?

Hey guys,

As you can already read in the title I have a problem with the Tanix device. I've been trying to swap the original ROM for a custom ROM for the last few days, unfortunately I can't get into recovery mode.

The device always seems to hang as soon as I turn on recovery mode at startup.

Methods I've tried so far:

Recognizing and flashing the device on the PC via USB Burning Tool 2.1.6 - here it does not recognize the device, it gets stuck if i try to restart it via a pin

On the TV itself via the power cable - it also gets stuck here immediately if I want to restart it with a pin

It seems like there is a problem getting into recovery mode at all. Anyone know what else I could try?

Attached you can see the pictures of what can be seen on the TV and on the device itself if it gets stuck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ahti000:
Just was wondering have anyone else also problems with synchronising notes with outlook. Maybe one time out of 50 I get the Pro synchronised with outlook but mostly I get ether a message that attendance required or just plain error. And of course the microsoft synchronisation program is one of the worst programs I have ever seen from user friendliness. When I bought this phone I had to transfer contacts and everything else from the old phone at least twice because during the first synchronisation periods I either got all contacts double or they disappeared next time same with calendar and tasks. Very confusing is also the frase keep in device or keep in desktop all the time confusing where the hell will the notes or else will be left.

But as I understand there is no alternative either.
[Vivo X80 Pro] null0seven:
I just got a deal (589 Euro) & bought Vivo x80 Pro 12/256 Gb, new, full box. Mine is global with FuntouchOS & SnapDragon processor.

Beautifull phone. Very nice design. Is a little slippery.

The phone have protecion on the screen from factory. I don't like curved screen. At all ! But i can live with it.

Comming from Oneplus (since 2015) i was afraid of difference of OS. But Funtouch have all those gestures/features that i like on OxygenOS.

Phone have a lot of bloatware. I uninstalled almost all of them. remaining 2, 3 i force stop & disabled.

The camera is considerably better than Oneplus.

Funtouch OS 13 works fine for me. I was nervous about bluetooth on A13. On Oxygen 13 not working. But on Vivo works fine.

I want to buy a 50w Vivo wireless charger, to save usb port.

Before this Vivo x80 Pro i use 8, 9 days a Samsung s22 Ultra, european (Exynos creap). S22 is a little puke, garbage compared to x80! The internet was full of horrible advertising. I try dns.adguard.com, Adaway, Blokada, nextdns. With any of these internet was a nightmare ! Slow like a 2010 phone. Bleah !!! Why the hell this garbage costs 1200 euro?..
[Vivo X80 Pro] ZarW:
Honestly, the x80 pro with Dim9000 and origin os is the best phone I've ever had. Why?

- best camera I've ever had

- incredible charging time

- no battery drain at all (I'm getting nearly 2 days out of the battery: reddit, messenger, camera, youtube, web browsing, stock monitoring, podcasts - I'm not a hardcore user)

- bloatware is removable

- fast as oneplus

- chinese version with call recording function

I've never been keen on notifications all day - it's me having the control when to look at the phone, do not want to get disturbed the whole day with notification pop-ups. I have never used google car or hey google commands. All issues have been tackled by Vivo. The only thing what makes me nervous: it's chinese hardware... let's see where politics head the next years.

Before you buy a Vivo, you need to be interested in getting to know the settings in detail - you need to understand the energy saving settings and other stuff, so Vivo is not working like an iPhone "out of the box" - but this is also a great opportunity to learn more about the operating system...

Phone history:

Samsung S2

Samsung Note 4

iPhone 6

iPhone 6s

Oneplus 5/iPhone 11

Vivo x80 pro

-> After Oneplus and Vivo I will never go back to Samsung. Worse than iPhone.

Hi!

I'm running Android 13. I've used Magisk to root the device but the command

adb root

results in

adbd cannot run as root in production builds

I already tried "adbd Insecure v2.00.apk" but it fails with the message

Could not patch adbd !

Is there a way to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:
you can overlay /system/bin/adbd with magisk module. create new directory in /data/adb/modules and place your files

/data/adb/modules/my_module/system/bin/adbd
/data/adb/modules/my_module/module.prop

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html#magisk-modules

or escalate to privileged shell and stream file content over stdin/stdout (linux only)

adb shell "su -c 'dd bs=1m if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot 2> /dev/null'" > boot.img
adb shell "su -c 'dd bs=1m of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot'" < path/to/boot.img
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mattdeox:
Thank you very much for your reply.

How would method 1 work? I find a different binary of adbd that has the root feature enabled and overlay the original with it through a Magisk module?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
Why do you need this?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mattdeox:
I would like to do some automated testing on my device using Appium to check if my website works correctly.

As I understood, adb root is needed to do it properly.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:
just rename the file > adbd

/data/data/eu.chainfire.adbd/files/adbd.21.png: ELF executable, 32-bit LSB arm, static, stripped
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
Basically: ADB is a commandline tool which acts as a client-server programm. You send ADB commands (usually from a desktop PC, but also possible from a rooted mobile) as a client to the adbd (daemon) on another device. The adbd executes those commands on the other device as user:shell. If you want the adbd acts as user:root then you have to execute adb root. BUT it's not possible to grant the adbd root permissions on a stock ROM (production builds). Even if the other device is rooted with Magisk it's still a production build!

The only way to execute commands as root via ADB on another device is

adb shell
su
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mattdeox:
I created the structure you recommended

/data/adb/modules/adbRoot/module.prop
/data/adb/modules/adbRoot/system/bin/adbd

I opened Magisk and could see the module enabled.

Then restarted adbd

setprop ctl.restart adbd

But there was still the error

Then I found out on this page https://source.android.com/docs/core/ota/modular-system/adbd

that adbd moved on Android 13, supposedly to this location:

/apex/com.android.adbd/bin/adbd

Then I also created this file for the Magisk module

/data/adb/modules/adbRoot/system/apex/com.android.adbd/bin/adbd

Again, I restarted adb

setprop ctl.restart adbd

But the result still is the same

Anything else I could do/something that is wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mattdeox:
Thank you very much for your input.

Are you saying there is nothing that can be done by replacing the adbd file or the config?

Do you think the solution by alecxs to replace the binary is not working?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
Still do not understand the reason. Assume the command adb root is successful. how to proceed then?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
Here's what you need for adb root:

daemon/main.cpp - platform/system/adb - Git at Google

These criterias have to be met to execute adb root.

In case the adbd gets root permissions, then you keep the privileges to run:

adb disable-verity
enable-verity
sideload OTAPACKAGE
remount [-R]
unroot

(For further information see 'adb help')

All the other ADB commands don't require the adbd to be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:
the insecure adbd by @Chainfire according to this logcat requires some additional sepolicy rules and probably therefore does not work with magisk out of the box.

found some magisk modules, maybe one of these binaries work for android 13 if you place it system/apex

https://xdaforums.com/t/module-debugging-modules-adb-root-selinux-permissive-enable-eng.4050041
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
Do I understand correctly:

To use/install the patched adbd I need a device with root permissions. Otherwise it wouldn't be possible to copy the adbd to /system/bin and make it executable. Having that patched adbd in /system/bin, I'm able to use the command adb root which let's me execute ADB commands with root permissions.

Why not using

adb shell
su

? Why I need a adbd with root permissions on a rooted device?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:
@WoKoschekk most likely he don't need it. we don't know. but there are cases where it can be useful, for example

adb pull /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
Apart from the fact that it's not possible to restore such an image (e.g. corrupted encryption) you have to copy 128GB (minus the system) or more via USB. There is a reason why TWRP saves the data as a TAR archive and splits it into 1GB chunks.

I know there are more examples for a rooted adbd. But it could all be done in a root shell, too.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:
TWRP is useful for backup only if encryption is supported, which is not the case for Samsung encryption. But for forensic and recovery of deleted files full partition image is required. on FBE that /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata is already decrypted during runtime. for FDE one must adb pull /dev/block/dm-0 or whatever is mounted /data of course. Restoring works fine btw. just some encryption related files (like locksettings.db) must deleted.

I have posted workaround for streaming partitions with su (refer to 2. method in post #2) but it does not work on windows (not even with dos2unix)
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
TWRP was only an example for how /data could be backed up. In the most cases you restore /data after a wipe or when /data gets formatted. Then you will have a conflict with the already established encryption. After /data gets formatted the system generates a new master key during the next boot. You can't decrypt an old encryption with that master key.

The partition mirrors ~/dm-0 and so on are based on AVB and the device-mapper layer.

Yes, I know the 'netcat' method. Of course it's better to have a desktop PC and its storage for large images like /data. Better than an external sd. But you could also use the device's shell to create tar files.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:
Nope. works fine, as the partition image does not contain any encryption at all. consider it's already decrypted in AFU state.

Yes. only for FBE, for FDE it's static key. But encryption type doesn't matter, it contains plain files - same as TWRP backup. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
Ok and how to restore it?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:
I personally mount the image and 'busybox cp -ac' files, but partition images can be restored with fastboot or dd. in TWRP this can be done on formatted userdata partition, files will encrypted on next boot. Just make sure to exclude encryption related files manually (same as TWRP does)

https://xdaforums.com/t/question-an...r-restoring-twrp-backup.4565049/post-88287815

The main reason to dump partition image is for data recovery and forensic of deleted or corrupted files. For simple backup of existing files TWRP backup is best. for samsung encryption one can backup app data with Migrate.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
You wanna flash a 50GB image via fastboot?? Which sparse size? 536.870.912 or 268.435.456? The dd method requires TWRP or a running system with ADB. With TWRP I wouldn't need this method. In a running system it's not possible to flash a image on /data.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] alecxs:
Again, if you have a working TWRP that can decrypt userdata, fine. Samsung encryption is not supported, therefore TWRP cannot used for backup. TWRP can used to restore partition image only. you can even flash it from heimdall or Odin, for other devices from fastboot or EDL mode (if firehose programmer available) be it 50 GB or 100 GB. You can even restore userdata during runtime, see my example in spoiler. Indeed that's exactly what this script does (outdated).

But we are drifting off topic. Guess OP simply wants to adb pull /data/data/<pgkname> so a simple tar file would do it. Nevertheless it would be nice to have adb root, as you can see there already exist magisk modules for it. Just need minor fix to overlay apex (btw. systemless - original adbd isn't modified at all)
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] WoKoschekk:
...and let the system crash. Either way it ends with a reboot of the system.

fastboot must split the image in sparse chunks, depending on the size of your RAM. Assuming we have a max_sparse_size of 512MiB, then a 100GB data.img gets splitted into 200(!) chunks. Fastboot sends every single one to the device and then the device flashes every single one of them. All toghether you must process 400 steps! This is not a satisfying backup solution.
