Hey rwilco,

Good to see you on the forums again, however infrequent it may be. Hope everything is going all good in life, where it counts 👍

Couldn't agree with the quoted part more. It's all well and good just finding any old file host for a few things but definitely more than worth the time to properly look into a bunch which are out there if you're gonna be hosting and maintaining a lot/a decent amount of things. The little things you ignore/don't pay attention to at the start could be the reason/s it comes to an end quickly and then you'll have to start the searching process all over again
[General Topics] Oswald Boelcke:
@rwilco12 Thanks very much for sharing your background knowledge and this excellent information. I've bookmarked your post in case of future questions regarding AFH or file hosts in general.
[General Topics] mxz55:
I've said it in one of my earlier posts in this topic, but isn't it a viable option for someone renowned (or a small group of people) from the Android scene to approach the current owner and make them an offer to take over AFH?

Maybe the XDA community can even set up a crowdfunding for the financial side to this (acquisition).

The current owner is clearly burnt out on this project, maybe some others can bring a fresh look, inspiration and neat plans to overhaul it for the better & future resiliency. If this is realistic, maybe (if he's willing) it will take @rwilco12 one last time to liaison, as he knows who the current owner is and we don't.
[General Topics] Oswald Boelcke:
Good evening, @mxz55

While I understand your attention, please be aware that we don't accept any crowdfunding on our Forums i.e. all possible follow-on posts in this respect will be deleted without further notification. Please refrain from any attempts to set up a crowdfunding on XDA. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Ok @Oswald Boelcke, i understand. My bad.

My points about that it would be interesting to see if someone can give AndroidFileHost a new leash of life (take-over and renovation) still stand, though. I'm afraid that if nothing happens, one day the current owner will just throw the towel in and pull the plug. They are already not communicating, so it may be without warning, other than the concerns here.
[General Topics] Retrial:
I personally don't believe there will be any revival of AFH.

Probably they will pull the plug without warning like they deleted some of my files on S4 long ago.

If you are using AFH you should switch to another host platform like SourceForge, Mega Cloud etc.
[General Topics] webhook:
Well, since the inevitable is about to come, we should all buy loads of TBs of hard drives and cloud storage and store as much as we can of AFH.
[General Topics] Tohru0920:
The inevitable already came I think... Or they'll just refresh their SSL settings.
[General Topics] Retrial:
This is not something new, it happens often. I guess it will be back later but I would advise users to not rely on AFH anymore.
[General Topics] Omar_62:
I actually agree! The website is dying, and just like mentioned before, I still find tons of freeloaders. Tons. There are services like Gem-Flash, Habib-Tech (not sure if this was the name) that use AFH and force you to pay for getting firmware files. That is scummy. AFH is being mistreated!
[General Topics] noahthewindowsguy:
Well, the site is back,but you cannot download any files,because if you do you just get "Oops,no mirrors found" message on every file.
[General Topics] Seleronn:
The site has started working but when downloading the file it shows me that no mirrors were found. Does this mean the site isn't quite working yet or the file isn't on any of the mirrors?
[General Topics] noahthewindowsguy:
Maybe there is a problem with the host or fetching files,we'll have to wait and see.
[General Topics] Seleronn:
It has started to work for me.
[General Topics] noahthewindowsguy:
Not for me...
[General Topics] Seleronn:
Maybe there is no mirror for this file (maybe it was deleted)
[General Topics] ScarySquirrel18:
10kB/s download speed is crazy
[General Topics] mxz55:
If this persists and ends in the site's eventual (but as said, inevitable) demise, it will be a problem for anyone that only just realized the situation and was literally preparing to evacuate files to another host

I hope it gets back some life just long enough to allow evacuation of legacy ROM's/etc
[General Topics] Omar_62:
I can relate. I was actually hunting for roms for my old Chinese tablet and had to go through many dead androidfilejost links. Legacy ROMS need to stay!

I volunteered to configure this strange S905W2 TV Box for a friend. Is this a clone of any known TV Box?

Leotec Show 2 432

SoC: S905W2
RAM: 4 GB
Internal storage: 32 GB
WiFi and bluetooth chipset: AW3155-50R
VFD: FD6551
Ref: LETVBOX19

View attachment 5895099

The original firmware sucked so much that the keyboard didn't even allow me to insert the WiFi password. There was also no root.

So I installed the slimBOXtv firmware for the Vontar X2 (also S905W2 SoC), but as expected the WiFi and the VDF don't work.

The problem is that after flashing the firmware for the Vontar X2, the USB Burning Tool doesn't recognize the box anymore so I am unable to try other firmwares. I'm stuck with the slimBOXtv firmware.

If I get the stock firmware maybe I can flash the u-boot.bin with the Amlogic BootcardMaker and be able to use the USB Burning Tool again.

If you know where can I download the stock firmware please tell me. Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LITUATUI:
Customer service was great and sent me the original firmware.

With it I was able to use Amlogic BootcardMaker and the USB Burning Tool was able to detect the box after the "reboot update" command in the terminal.

The kernel was updated for OneUI 5.1. The previous builds could also not work, the current ones should be working fine. I've also added missing firmware to the source code which was not commited before due to .gitignore took from upstream kernel.

Updated the kernel image, with a bump to KernelSU v0.6.2 and better build_kernel.sh script that now hard-codes username and hostname when producing the kernel image and respects SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (if the kernel didn't care about this env var before).

[Cricket Dream 5G] magi44ken:
Anyone have the Android 12 firmware that Cricket released from this Reddit thread? There is one custom rom developed in this XDA thread but not sure how stable it is.
[Cricket Dream 5G] Riotruth:
Hey dude, I'm currently using the a teams custom ROM From here.

I've used all three attached, only issues I found in them are as followed

Android 12 rom's Bluetooth will connect but won't send audio, to fix this go to settings/phh settings/misc/ there you'll find a bunch of options, Im using Android 11 rn so I can't tell u which one needs to be enabled ATM

Android 11 one doesn't have this issue, and all three won't allow lock screen or fingerprint, I couldn't find a fix for this)
[Cricket Dream 5G] magi44ken:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm a little confused with the aio toolkit requirement.

1. Is the aio toolkit is to help install TWRP and Magisk?

2. Where is the download link to aio toolkit?

3. How do you install the aio toolkit?
[Cricket Dream 5G] Riotruth:
I couldn’t tell you on that, I never played around with it. Over on that thread you get 3 downloads, 2 android 12 gsm, and 1 android 11 gsm.

I

They all come with magisk pre installed, all you need is TWRP.
[Cricket Dream 5G] magi44ken:
Ok. That's what I have in mind too. Normally you need to unlock bootloader and then install TWRP before you can flash the custom rom.

I thought the aio toolkit include the TWRP and Magisk. So you install it then boot to the stock recovery to flash the rom.
[Cricket Dream 5G] Riotruth:
Yeah. Theres another post here for getting just twrp and magisk. I'm to lazy to quote it lol, but that's how I got it originally, I then flashed these ROM's without a issue.
[Cricket Dream 5G] magi44ken:
I finally installed the custom GSI roms. There is one major issue is that the phone don't ring for incoming calls. After 5 rings, it goes to the voicemail. I can make calls.

Did you have this problem? Which rom are you using?

I installed TWRP using AIO Toolkit. Not sure how you install your TWRP.

I wonder if the modified boot.img from Magisk might be the cause to the phone ring issue since my stock ROM is updated to Android 11 2023 February. The developer created the custom GSI roms and TWRP and Pre-patched using an older Android 11 in May 2022.
[Cricket Dream 5G] Riotruth:
hi.

i have not noticed that at all. but i dont do calls lol.

i installed twrp myself, and am using the roms. would you mind explaining how you used AIOToolkit?
[Cricket Dream 5G] magi44ken:
1. AiO Toolkit

Sure. In case you don't have a copy of the full AIO Toolkit that includes unbrick roms and rooted stuff. I upload a lite of the AIO Toolkit that includes only the rooted stuff, not full rom. It's only 360MB.

Public - Google Drive

drive.google.com

You will have to use Linux in order. I recommend Ubabutu v22 instead v23. I couldn't get it work in Windows.

Follow the direction in the readdme.md to install MTKClient and requirements: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient

After completing the installation, make sure you enable USB debugging and run `adb devices` and confirm to enable "Allow to use usb debugging" in the phone.

Run the AIO Toolkit CLI script: Main_Menu.sh. The simplest way to run this Main_Menu.sh is open the File Manager and right click on it and select Run. It will give you instruction what to do after you select the menu choice.

In the main meanu, select the bootloader menu item for unlocking the bootloader and select recovery menu item installing TWRP and Magisk.

If it ask to enter brom mode, just power off the phone, hold the volume up and down buttons for 2 seconds and connect the USB cable to PC. It should automatically recognize and do it stuff.

2. Bluetooth Fix

Also there is a fix for bluetooth by enabling this settings in any of the custom rom you use.

Go Settings > Phh Settings > Misc Features. Under Other section, check "Force disable A2DP Offline"

3. Phone call ring

Can you do a quick call test for me if you don't mind? Just have someone call your Dream 5G phone. If it rings, it means it works. If it works, can you list baseband version and custom rom you are using?

I really wanted to use Android 12 if I can fix the phone call ringg issue.

4. TWRP v3.7 update?

What version of TWRP are you using? is 3.6.x? Have you upgrade to v3.7x that is fully Android 12 compatiable?

I was going to do the manual process but there was only threads about it and not sure how relaible. So I use the AIO Toolkit.

However if you able to upgrade to v3.7, please share the steps.

Let me know if you need to help.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
Okay so first off:

- Chinese Variant with OxygenOS installed

- OEM unlocking enabled

- Im on linux

will output the devices and I can successfully run ``adb reboot bootloader`` when in bootloader, running ``fastboot devices`` no devices show up, i tried installing the oneplus adb drivers which ended with no change.

however, doing ``adb reboot fastboot`` and then ``fastboot devices`` it succeeds, now trying ``fastboot flashing unlock`` returns with:

i read in another post that i may need to try ``fastboot oem unlock`` or ``fastboot oem unlock-go`` both of which return:

So im kind of at a loss here of what to do.... any ideas?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] simplepinoi177:
i'm not familiar with OnePlus or Linux...

but what version of adb & fastboot are you employing? And/or I've seen this kind of issue happen (randomly) because of an usb cord issue, of all things -- I wonder if it's a Google Pixel thing, but you never know...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41

I've attempted different cables and ports and still have this issue.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ikram.senguen:
Try on Windows
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
If I could avoid installing an entire operating system (VM or straight on hardware) that would be preferable.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm unsure if OnePlus prefers its own type of platform tools (as I've just recently learned that certain manufactured devices have their own preferred ways of getting adb & fastboot), but if your device can/prefer the same as Google Pixels, you should be if you can -- or try, if you haven't -- using Google's/Android's official platform tools from the developer site; there's a Linux version (which is what triggered my thought on this as that is your setup) and, although it caused great issue for Pixel's (or A/B devices, i imagine), version is updated to r34.0.2 . Maybe the latest updated version might work where yours isn't...

just a thought...

*although much of this is out of my league, again as I am not familiar with OnePlus or Linux...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
thanks! ill give it a try.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:

[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
On windows computer, disable driver signature, and you should see a watermark in lower right corner of home screen that states test mode, then install the latest op USB drivers. Make sure to uninstall the old op USB driver first. Then reboot, disable driver signature signing, the reboot computer again. Then start you adb and fastboot commands.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Too bad OP stated he's she's not on windows, but on Linux...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
tried windows just now (she) same issue, although i did not try their suggestion, i will have to attempt that.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Masterchief87:
What type of USB port are you using? I was having all kinds of issues with adb and fastboot and it turned out to be because my computer doesn't have any USB 2.0 ports. I found two potential solutions, one of which was to get a hub with USB 2.0 ports, and the other was to change some settings in windows 10. If your computer doesn't have a USB 2.0 port you could try using a hub with USB 2.0 ports, or you could do some searching to see if there's a workaround for your Linux distro like there is for windows.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
i tried on various different ports, i tried on 2.1 and 3 so far no luck.

ive been spending way too much time trying to install windows and ended up being able to on an old laptop so im going to try the windows suggestions (this laptop has only 2.0 ports), that ive seen so far.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGreatBumBum:
Are your fastboot drivers upto date? When you connect your device to pc in fastboot, try searching in the drivers for adb,bootloader,or smth named driver. If not there then your device will probably be in the "others" driver tab with an exclamation mark.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
again, linux, i just installed the drivers on my newly installed windows machine, just installed drivers anyways.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGreatBumBum:
Oh yeah sorry bout that, just want to tell you windows is a bit buggy. I had to install the fastboot drivers every 5-10 minutes.Dunno why,Dunno how.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] SyCoREAPER:
Back to basics, use only the motherboard/rear ports. Some phones are picky about the cable, you might need to use a factory cable. Does the computer see the phone at all? If not you don't have the right drivers.

Also 'adb reboot fastboot' "working" doesn't mean it worked.

In simple terms, the command will work but it must return a device ID below it and should trigger the phone to trust the PC.

Command order on Windows is:

adb devices

adb reboot fastboot

"whatever the Oneplus Unluck command is" some phones have different ones for different models.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
Okay after taking a lot of time this was indeed the solution, thankyou!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] der_akinator:
Linux systems oftentimes have issues due to udev rules and missing group memberships of your user. For example on arch you can install android-udev and add the user to the adbusers group. I don't know if there are any packages for debian based distros, but I think they use the plugdev goup for udev rules.

The following gh repo is a good place to start:

GitHub - M0Rf30/android-udev-rules: Android udev rules list aimed to be the most comprehensive on the net

Android udev rules list aimed to be the most comprehensive on the net - M0Rf30/android-udev-rules

github.com
[OnePlus 9 Pro] limepot:
This is incredibly helpful thankyou.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] der_akinator:
If you still have issues, you can add a new rule that looks somewhat like that:

ATTR{idVendor}=="YOUR VENDOR ID", ATTR{idProduct}=="????", ENV{adb_adbfast}, GOTO="android_usb_rule_match"

You just have to replace "YOUR VENDOR ID" with the output of the first part of the ID part of the output of the lsusb command, when your phone is connected either in fastboot or adb mode. This is a brute force approach that doesn't take the different modes like adb, fastboot, mtp into account, but enables them all.

Example OP9 lsusb output:

Bus 001 Device 010: ID

22d9

:2765 OPPO Electronics Corp. Oppo N1

Edit:

The above rule is only valid if you are using the repo from my last post. Otherwise you have to change the GOTO.
