I don't understand "fastboot enhance". I am assuming that Google has failed me, but I can't image what it was supposed to say.

If you got a bootloop by flashing a particular ROM, then reflashing some of that ROM's images would not fix a bootloop. Flashing partitions from some other ROM would be the kind of thing that causes a bootloop, because the partitions taken from another ROM are not necessarily compatible with the current ROM.

Also, I don't know at what level a locked bootloader enforces "proper". It might be that each partition image is signed independently, so a locked bootloader would allow you to flash any partition from any ROM produced by the distributor. It might also be that there is some relation between partition signatures, and the locked bootloader might only allow you to flash a consistent set of partitions.

There is something wrong with us saying "locked bootloader". It may be that the message when you are unlocking is "unlock bootloader". In the Developer Options, the option I have seen does not say "bootloader", it says "OEM unlocking". Which leaves us to figure out whether the "locked bootloader" prevents you from flashing an image that is not properly signed, or whether instead you are always free to flash anything you want, but the bootloader will refuse to run the system unless all partitions are properly signed. That second choice would explain why it is so easy to screw up a system to the point that it will not boot.

Being root will not "solve" a bootloop. The bootloop is occurring because the partitions are not proper. The system is not booting far enough for root to make a difference. There are certainly times when trying to root causes a bootloop, but it isn't really because you were trying to root, but rather because you rewrote one or more partitions improperly.

No me has entendido, es actualizar particion de la misma rom, pero en este caso quiero tan solo flashear boot y init_boot para solucionar el cts profile que me dejo algún error otras versiones de roms para que dejase de funcionar

Tampoco me funciona el fasbootd, me sale en el móvil abajo del todo error y no lo carga, alguna sugerencia?

Puede ser que fasbootd es para sistema de arranque desbloqueado?
[Red Magic 8 pro] J.Michael:
I agree: reflashing an image that is exactly the same as what was last flashed will not change anything.

My best guess is that you have not found the original ROM.

fastbootd is not a different program that offers the hope of fixing something you could not fix with fastboot. It is just a chance of issuing commands using only the phone. Unless I misunderstood, and it is the "server", running on the phone, to implement the commands sent by the fastboot program running on a PC.

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum as you can see.

Anyhow, after 2 days of working non stop I was able to root my galaxy s10 android 12, the only reason I rooted it was to take screenshots of my revolut bank app, which is not allowed.

Now I have everything setup, I am using the DISABLE-FLAG_SECURE plugin with LSPosed.

The problem that I am facing is the following:

After each reboot, if Revolut is not added to the DenyList, it says "hey, you device is rooted, so you can't use the app"

And if I add it to the DenyList , It automatically disables the Magisk modules, I need the "Riru" and "Riru-LSPosed" to take the screenshot of revolut.

NOTE:

I downloaded LSPosed from the play store

Can someone help me ?

[Android TV General] hashcraft95:
Hello,

I want to experiment with Android as a desktop computer doubling as a streaming device. I understand there are many ways to go about this, but I think the most interesting (and cheapest) way to accomplish this would be to repurpose one of the many unofficial Android TV boxes found on ebay and Amazon. My reasoning for this is that they can generally be flashed with a different ROM quite easily. This is important because I don't trust them out of the box, and want to know they are running a clean ROM. They also use regular Android as opposed to Android TV. In a surprising twist, I actually want regular Android for this project, not Android TV.

I am aware that some apps won't work and that I probably won't have access to the Play Store. I'm ok with this because I use a degoogled Android phone and know how to get by without it. I also understand that there are other solutions. I'm not opposed to considering alternatives, but this project is really just for the fun and potential challenge.

Here are my problems:

Many of these cheap boxes lie about their specs, i.e. they claim to have 4gb of RAM when they only have 2gb of RAM.

All of the Android streaming devices consistently recommended run Android TV. I want to use the regular Android found on a phone or tablet, as close to AOSP as possible.

I have found only one ROM provider for these Android boxes that isn't based on Android TV. SlimboxTV is exactly what I want, but it's not open source and I have some concerns over the fact that it's developed in Russia.

So here are my questions:

Can you recommend me a decent cheap Android box? I would prefer 4gb of RAM but understand that may not exist. 1080p is fine if 4k isn't an option. I don't really care about other specs.

Are there any other ROMs out there that are based on regular Android and not Android TV? If not, is SlimboxTV safe to use? I have found surprisingly little information about this considering it has a presence on XDA.

If this isn't the right place to ask this question, can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help!

Buonasera, ho un S22 liscio e questa sera ho provato a flashare la rom SEK, l'ho flashata ben due volte una volta con ODIN ed una volta con SAMFWFRP TOOL, ma in entrambi i casi rientrando nelle informazioni software

una volta installata mi esce ancora la dicitura EUX/EUX/HUI (WIND) per quale motivo? Se invece voglio cambiare CSC con SAMFRPTOOL senza flashare l'intera Rom lo fà tranquillamente. La mia sarà anche una fissazione ma vorrei ottenere il cambio ROM da EUX A SEK flashando l'intera rom con Odin, oppure ditemi voi come fare per ottenere il risultato da me desiderato. GRAZIE PER L'AIUTO

***Moderator Translation***

Good evening, I have a smooth S22 and this evening I tried to flash the SEK rom, I flashed it twice once with ODIN and once with SAMFWFRP TOOL, but in both cases returning to the software information

once installed I still get the wording EUX / EUX / HUI (WIND) for what reason? If, on the other hand, I want to change CSC with SAMFRPTOOL without flashing the entire Rom, do it quietly. Mine will also be a fixation but I would like to get the ROM change from EUX to SEK by flashing the entire rom with Odin, or tell me how to get the result I want. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

I kind of fixed it. Just change refresh rate to either "Auto" or 120hz(or 90) if you have high refresh rate support. And just restart. The quick setting lag is coming only when there is some music playing. For me, when I play music and scroll my quick settings, I get 90fps on average. Meanwhile in quick settings, I get 118-120fps. I tried to change the refresh rate to 60hz back and the problem fixed itself. Means, now even at 60Hz I will get 60fps while scrolling to quick settings while playing music(No visible lag). Btw, I am using Matrix OS based on Android 14, on a Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5g(codename-peux)

[Fire TV Original Android Development] Eagle1337:
is this for the latest update for the cube?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Pro-me3us:
Yes, this will work on any 3rd gen firmware including the most recent PS7646 from the last two weeks.

If you are still on PS7613/3701 and using the older method, I don't recommend updating to PS7646. I haven't seen any benefits to the new firmware, and it's likely just got more Amazon tricks & restrictions to look out for.

IF you care about an eventual bootloader unlock, if anyone ever finds a way :D, staying on an older firmware increases the chances of being able to use it.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] three6zerocool:
Hello. Followed your instructions on my 3rd gen Fire TV Cube, and saw the ADB Shell prompt change from $ to #.

Then entered in the suggested shell commands to disable OTA updates etc.

I then rebooted my device.

I am a bit confused, as when I re-established ADB connection, the shell prompt is back to a $, and not #.

Is that normal?, ie. to change anything, I have to redo the process after each restart?

Excuse my ignorance, kind of new to all this stuff.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] ForbEx:
Read:

4. Run the program. Takes 20-60sec on average.

Root access is gained when the '$' prompt changes to '#' (gazelle:/ $ --> gazelle:/ #)

No you dont need to do it after every restart. It's disabled until you change it back..
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Pro-me3us:
Yeah that's to be expected. If you cleared the PackageManagerDenyList described in the op instructions, then you won't need root access anymore to disable/enable any apps.

If you need root access for something else, then you only need to run gazelle_buf again

gazelle:/ $ /data/local/tmp/gazelle_buf

gazelle:/# setenforce 0

If you need routine root access or to be able to grant SU to apps, you can check the description of bootless Magisk from the previous exploit. That would give you the ability to open a root shell whenever you type gazelle:/ $ su

I still consider bootless Magisk experimental until a handful of people report back that they have been using it for a month+. I can update the older start script to work with gazelle_buf if you want to test it out.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] three6zerocool:
Thanks for the reply and explanation.

I mainly wanted to use this exploit to stop Amazon auto removing Launcher Manager, as I like to use custom Launcher.

I think I have done things correctly, but just noticed that Launcher Manager has been removed again.

I am sure I entered all the commands in correctly, as I noticed inside LM that Amazon Updates etc were already blocked.

Could it be the settings I have used in LM?

ie. I used the old method and it brought up an ADB permission request, then I enabled the original handler, and chose my custom launcher. (Wolf Launcher)

Have also tried the new method, but LM still keeps getting removed.

What's been happening is that Launcher Manager disappears, and home button still goes to Wolf Launcher, but I can no longer access any settings menus. (until I reinstall LM)
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Pro-me3us:
@RiCkLaR posted about this earlier, and I think he's right. I'll add it to the instructions in the OP in a day once it's confirmed.

For now, it appears that Launcher Manager is disabled by the app Adep. You can disable it, and that should be enough to stop having to do any more reinstalls.

gazelle:/ $ pm disable-user com.amazon.adep

gazelle:/ $ pm clear com.amazon.adep

Since you have root, if you want, you can keep Amazon Launcher enabled, and only disable the Amazon homescreen. This will allow you to use your custom launcher, and not break Amazon Launcher dependent functions. Things that will work: Amazon App Store search, homescreen search, FireOS settings menu, remote recent button, other things i'm forgetting

EDIT: I forgot that doing this causes the LiveTV app to hammer the OS, so that app has to be disabled. Clearing the LiveTV app data appears to be enough to keep that app from misbehaving.

To do this follow these steps:

gazelle:/ $ pm disable-user com.amazon.firehomestarter

gazelle:/ $ pm enable com.amazon.tv.launcher

gazelle:/ $ /data/local/tmp/gazelle_buf

gazelle:/ # setenforce 0

gazelle:/ # pm disable com.amazon.tv.launcher/.ui.HomeActivity_vNext

gazelle:/ # pm clear com.amazon.tv.livetv

gazelle:/ # exit
[Fire TV Original Android Development] three6zerocool:
Thankyou oh so much, that is fantastic advice, and I followed your above instructions, and it worked wonderfully.

You are right, it is really nice using the native preferences over Launcher Manager ones.

Also it is really good to be able to search for apps etc.

Thankyou once again!.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Pro-me3us:
I was taking another look at the method in post #10, I think it's fine to keep com.amazon.tv.livetv enabled, and that just clearing the app data after disabling the Amazon homescreen is enough to keep the LiveTV app from hammering the OS. I made a small edit to the steps to clear data, rather than disable LiveTV.

Since you already ran through the steps above, you can just clear the LiveTV app data, and re-enable the app without root

gazelle:/ $ pm clear com.amazon.tv.livetv

gazelle:/ $ pm enable com.amazon.tv.livetv

To verify that there are no apps acting up, use

gazelle:/ $ top

It will show all the running apps, memory & CPU usage. When you are on your custom launcher homescreen, the Cube should idle at ~720-750% CPU usage free (800% total = 100% x 8 cores). Verify that LiveTV app isn't at the top of the CPU usage list using +50-100%.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] three6zerocool:
Thanks for that information, will try it all out.

Another Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen question.

I have just got another Fire TV Cube.

Is there a special procedure to set it up without Amazon updating the Cube's firmware?

ie. I set it up, and it shows firmware as 3166, so guess I am screwed as far as using this root method?

I plugged it into ethernet when forst powered on, and first thing it said was 'downloading updates'
[Fire TV Original Android Development] three6zerocool:
Also, when it started up, it said there is an available update, which I did not install.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Pro-me3us:
This guide for skipping the forced update during device registration still works. Additionally, when you enter your WiFi password during setup, if you click on the advanced button, you can use one of the DNS servers here, which automatically block the OTA servers. You will get an update error, then hold down back+menu buttons on the remote for 5-10sec until the accessibility screen appears, press back and you can proceed to the next registration step.

FireOS is aggressive about installing Firmware. It will keep downloading it in the background, if not blocked, and eventually either update the device while idle, or automatically on the next reboot. pm clear com.amazon.device.software.ota only buys a little bit of time.

PS7607/3166 should work with gazelle_buf and gazelle_shrinker, if it doesn't let me know.

Was this unit just unsealed and setup recently? The original 3rd gen Cubes shipped with PS7299/3052, I'm curious if there is a new lot of Cubes being sold.
