[Thinkpad Tablet General] ricardosimoes:
I have Linux and Windows 10 dual boot in my PC. I have a Lenovo TAB M10 FHD Plus TB-X606F with Android 10 which I wanted to install Lineage OS so I followed this tutorial https://xdaforums.com/t/lenovo-x606f-lineageos-19-0-gsi-upgrade.4417791/

Before doing anything I used LMSA (Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant) and did a Backup in Windows 10, then I proceeded to unlock boot loader and install TWRP in Linux with success.

Booted into TWRP and made a backup within TWRP, even manage to test RESTORE that backup with success.

Then proceeded to flash Lineage OS but something went wrong because after reboot tablet seems to boot loop, however I can boot into fastboot, flash TWRP again and boot into TWRP but now my shock begins... the backup is not there any more so I can not restore it!!!!

Went to Windows 10 and ran LMSA Rescue which downloaded the ROM files and everything, but on the last step (powered off tablet with volume up pressed, connect USB cable and keep power off and just keep volume up pressed) it seems the device is not recognised (despite the charging red light is on).

Then I tried SP FLASH and used the ROM Files from LMSA (TB_X606F_S300660_220613_BMP) but again nothing happens after clicking "Download", the progress bar does not move.

So now I'm at a loss... if only I had copied that TWRP backup to my PC I could easily copy it back to the tablet and restore it! If regrets could kill...

LMSA Rescue fails

SP Flash fails

But I still have Fastboot and TWRP and the following file list, is there any chance of using these files to somehow make the tablet to boot again?

[Thinkpad Tablet General] ricardosimoes:
Ok so I managed to solved it myself by downloading MTK USB All Drivers on this site https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-usb-all-drivers , I downloaded the latest version MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8 and installed it on Windows 10.

After that, I repeated the LMSA Rescue process, and this time when I pressed volume up button and connected USB the program immediately started flashing!!!!!

When all was done, I rebooted and voilá... Lenovo tablet is reborn again!!!!

P.S: I have to thank Lenovo RSA Team for making a video just for me, to help me spot something... and it really did!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] synesthete:
People have been having issues with Platform Tools 34 since its release. The only fix I know is to uninstall 34 and revert to installing 33.03. I haven't had any problems flashing the latest stable build on 33.03 and it looks like people have had success with flashing the latest Android 14 beta with it as well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bagarwa:
I get the platform tools from here. The download is just a portable zip, not an installer needing any uninstall / install. I deleted the 34 RC2 download and went back to my previous 33.0.3 download. But through that too, I'm getting this error for 14B1 -

Sending sparse 'vendor_a' 3/3 (189388 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))

14DP2 flashes fine with 33.0.3.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dave_247:
I got this also as did others in the Android 14 thread. I don't know what Google are on. First the platform tools bug which still isn't fixed and now this. I get and fully expect to run into issues within the OS itself, but not even being able to flash the build?

I'll laugh/cry if this also affects the non-pro and even the Pixel 6, but even without that just a single device failing flash seems like a complete amature mistake to have made.

We are all just going to have to avoid the build and hope someone at Google cares enough to fix it, or wee just wait until beta 2 next month I guess, and rely on having to use using OTA updates until then.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bagarwa:
Can you please give me a link to that thread?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
Just use android flash tool to install this a14 beta

Working properly
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bagarwa:
I haven't used that before. Does that provide an option to flash without wipe or does that mandatorily wipe the device while flashing?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
Yes you can choose any option you want ..

With or without wipe/ or disable verity/ verification
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I only used Android Flash Tool once, but I don't believe it could disable verity & verification...

Did you by chance mean badabing2003's PixelFlasher? I know for sure that that program does this, and it most likely can flash Android 14 as well...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bagarwa:
I tried the flashing tool now, but that too kept failing, this time at flashing product 11/12.

View attachment 5887309

But I finally managed to finish the flash on my local. I used a different USB C to C cable (previously I was using A to C) on a different port of the laptop. The file transfer from PC to phone (the "Sending sparse..." parts) were much slower this time (~6 seconds for each part, compared to less than 1 second before). But the flash finally successfully finished. And now I've booted into 14B1.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
You can disable verity/ verification with android flash tool

And i don't mean Pixel flasher
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Interesting, I always get 6 seconds using my C-to-C cable too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dave_247:
Here's the thread. It was started folowingf the devloper preview versions of 14 but has not sahifted to the beta versions.

https://xdaforums.com/t/april-12-20...-also-for-future-major-android-betas.4550933/
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dave_247:
I was getting the same error so I gave up and manually flashed the developer preview 2 then did a OTA update to get to Beta 1. There has to be something wrong with the build itself to be having this many issues for so many people.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Specb405:
Hello All,

My SMS is set for a prefered SIM for messages which I do not want and when I change it to my second SIM it changes back to the prefered SIM instantaneously.

I would like to have the choice of which SIM I want to use for each SMS I want to send.

This function worked prior to rooting and returning to stock. Something got lost/corrupted when I returned to stock

My phone is locked and do not want to root it.

I saw a command for HTC that can be run with ADB but I do not have Grant access to send the command to my phone.

Is this the correct command for a OP 8T OOS13?

adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms null

If so how can I send it to my phone?

Or does anyone have another way to allow me to use either SIM 1 or SIM 2 when sending messages?

Thank you

Specb405
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] GenesisDH:
What SMS app do you use? There are a few in the Play Store that should handle dual SIM well.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Specb405:
Thank you for your reply Genesis.

I am using Google Messages and the function used to work before I rooted my phone and reverted back to stock.

As you can see from the screenshot attached, it allows me to change from work to home but will always revert back to work automatically so I can no longer send sms/mms from home.

It would seem that something is missing in the code to allow the change to stay on Sim 2 (home) when selected.

Again this function worked even after rooting, but when I returned back to stock using MSM and the correct OOS for NA (Global) is when it stopped.

When I returned to stock and went through the steps to set up my phone, it asked for prefered SMS Sim but nowhere do I find a button to allow me to change that with disabling mobile data for a specific Sim and re-enabling it.

When doing that it willl allow me to send from home but wont allow me to send from Work.

Hope this helps clarify the situation.

Thank you
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] Specb405:
FWIW,

I figured out the problem with Google Messages no longer allowing to switch sim cards to send messages from one sim or the other.

If you had to restore your phone to factory settings or locked / bricked your phone and restored it with MSM tool and had backed up all text messages with any tool available, messages does not like that.

Messages will allow to use either Sim for texting if you do not restore your old messages after any phone restore.

If you restore your old messages, then some software bug in Google messages no longer allows you to use both sims for texting.

Quite a frustrating time to figure that out.

I liked Google Messages but due to this issue I switched to Textra and all is working fine.

Hope that helps some of you.

Cheers!

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] SyedZain.:
Hello, I recently purchased an S20 ultra. I have 2 questions regarding it if anyone can answer any one of these that would mean a lot to me.

1) What I've noticed is that the phone has Verizon apps installed by default and when I go into download mode it says Carrier = Att. So is it a Verizon carrier phone or Att one?

2)If it is a Verizon phone, How do I know that it's locked? I am currently able to use a non-Verizon sim. I am running Android 12 I haven't updated it to Android 13 is that the reason that the sim is working?

Thanks!

Edit: @Unreal_Hawkz has fixed my issue :)
[General Topics] DrewPoss:
Hallo,

I've noticed this problem 1 year ago and it keeps affecting my different Samsung devices, when I format them, even with nand erase and re partition using pit files, after some days or even hours the problem comes back.

The said permission contains an unique code for every token on different Samsung proprietary apps, like smart switch, Samsung account, etc.

It's some sort of backdoor that allows a user with high privileges to run shell codes of every sort, and even creating a Linux subsystem, or having subtle root access to change build prop data, and imei spoofing, and many other issues that can be addressed as digital identity theft.

Any help about how to get rid of that?

Here is a further explanation of the issue (I don't know if I can post such links, in case not sorry moderators)

No you can't get passed that screen as far as i know without being able to hit the dots (and within a reasonable distance of them or it will start over) The reason being. that until start up fully runs, it will reload your rom every time (and i don't think you can kill the "start up" until the rom is loaded. I know it is an exe program though because i have run into it before in my windows folder.

Hi everyone

I sent my X90 Pro plus to bootloop after deleting the packages indicated in this guide and now I can no longer solve it. It remains on the black screen with the wording VIVO and does not go on

From recovery I have tried clearing the cache to no avail, looking for help please

https://xdaforums.com/t/uninstall_failed_user_restricted.4574415/#post-88404211

I delete some packpage of the list , and after a reboot , i have bootloop

HELP!!
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] lemonade747:
Not sure but many people here tried this list and I think none of them reported any bootloop so far. You may tried to remove something else.

So for now, can you get into the recovery menu with holding both Power button + Volume up? I saw a menu called Package Installer, did you try that? And how about the menu called "System Verification" as well? If nothing works, then you may need to factory reset everything.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] bmw320cd:
Yes, I can log in, here is the screen

Inside "CLEAR DATA" i can clear cache and CLEAR ALL DATA

Inside "Install System Software" It connects to the wifi network and looks for new updates, telling me that the recent one is already installed and nothing else

Inside "calibration System" it tells me that it is verifying the integrity and that the integrity check of the system files was successful

Inside "Enter Safe Mode" It restarts and returns to the previous bootloop, as in the "normal" boot, but here it continues to vibrate at each reboot (Loop)

Nothing else ... I didn't do anything else, just deleted and debloated from that list, nothing more
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] bmw320cd:
Update: Used clear all data and hard reset phone.. Now work
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] lemonade747:
Yeah as I said, the last option is to do factory reset your phone if you don't have anything important on your phone now. Not sure if you did something wrong with the list, just remember don't remove the vivo home launcher without installing at least one 3rd party launcher. If not then you will get into bootloop again.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Find791:
Hi bmw320cd,

If you are still factory reset state, can you upload your battery stats (with details/system)

Mine, after small debloat takes 16% (Android system) + 7% (Android OS).

[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
I get frustrated with Google backup and restore due to the fact that sometimes it does not restore everything during initial setup. Add to that that you can't do a manual restore such as SMS or Call Logs..... Trying to get in the habit of using SwiftBackup instead!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] galaxys:
Yes, feel your pain! I using SMS Backup and Restore app for my SMS & Call logs...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] itsnebulalol:
Weird... always works fine for me. What gapps are you using?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Stock Gapps in stock firmware. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does it means factory reset and setup phone again which is lost time and effort.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] KingMonkeyDLuffy:
google only works good in pixel , also that bug is very frustrating
[OnePlus 9 Pro] gsser:
You are lucky cause it does not even backup anything for me neither on stock or custom at all. Happens in both of my different phones. Been like this for couple of months. Swift backup is gucci
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Masterchief87:
Same here. All google backup does for me is reinstall all my apps. I use sms backup and restore for text messages and call logs. I miss the days when I could restore everything with titanium backup, so I didn't have to log back into 37,000 different apps every time I flash a rom.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Yeah, I use SwiftBackup for apps and data, SMS and Call Logs as well. Better than Google for sure!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Masterchief87:
Can swift actually restore app data like titanium used to? Is swift basically the new titanium backup? I've been on hiatus for the last few years. Last time I was active here super partitions and a/b slots weren't a thing and titanium still worked.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
It has worked well for me, including some app logins etc.... Rooted only though!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MJPollard:
I'd say that, yes, Swift Backup is the new Titanium Backup. I've had absolutely no problem backing up and restoring all of my apps, as well as SMS messages, call logs, and wi-fi networks, on the latest and greatest Android releases. Titanium's biggest issue vis-a-vis app backups is that it doesn't support the new "split APK" format; every time it tries to restore one, it hangs. I'm pretty sure that some of its esoteric features still work, but given that it hasn't been updated since November 2019, and that its major use (app backup/restore) is crippled, I'd classify it as dead in the water.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheSayaMan:
Titanium Backup still works. I figured out the reason why it hangs, its related to the Google Play store. I force close the Play Store then run the backup and restore again and it never hangs but I use Swift Backup now as well because it has no bugs.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MJPollard:
Good to know. (y) Still not going back to it, though, because I find Swift to be an overall better app for backup/restore. I still keep TiBu around just in case I have to do anything esoteric.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wechat3:
I know the Peloton display isn't very popular, but it's a pretty awesome large touchscreen display that I wish can be used to its full potential. I was hoping maybe someone here would have insights on how to install 3rd party apps on it via adb.

I'm following some guides I found online, and ran into some of the same issues other people have run into. I can start up adb and USB debugging on the Peloton 3rd gen display. It's running Android 7. I enabled Install from Unknown Sources via adb. But when I issue the command to install apps over adb with a copy of the APK, I get a "performing streamed install" in the terminal. It never progresses to successful state.

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it further. What logs can I look into? What might be blocking the install? I see other people also stuck on the same point.
