Still I can flash a standard rom with running a vendor boot recovery?

Its Possible to boot the standard rom with a OFOX vendor boot recovery? Kinda backward compatibility?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
You can flash standard ROMs with a vendor_boot recovery.

Of course, after that, you will only have the ROM's own recovery.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Rstment ^m^:
Do you know how kernels work on vendor_boot roms?

For example on Paranoid Android they tell you NOT to flash any kernel that doesn't say specifically made for paranoid OS.... Does that have something to do with vendor_boot?

I mean obviously it's easier to flash and see xd But I don't have time rn to spend on rescuing the phone should something go wrong
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
No idea.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
From my tests on several Android 14 custom ROMs for alioth, it seems that some of them are vendor_boot ROMs.

This unfortunately means that people are going to flash a standard recovery on their Android 14 vendor_boot ROM, meaning that they will brick their device. In

some

cases, the device can be recovered (at least, to be able to boot into recovery mode) by simply booting to bootloader mode, and then flashing the OrangeFox vendor_boot recovery. This may not be enough in some cases, requiring reflashing the ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] SantoshJ@248:
Is there any article, guide or something which can help to create device tree for vendor_boot recovery or any source to learn about vendor_boot recovery partition?

can i use ofox vendor to format data aospa uvite? while if im not wrong, aospa should format data using their recovery.. thx
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
It should be fine - as long as you first reboot to OrangeFox (after flashing the ROM) before formatting.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] rashazad:
Can you boot ofox over uvite???

I tried twrp and ofox. None boot and dev said:
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Of course - if you install the correct variant. The dev made it clear in his OP that the ROM uses vendor_boot-as-recovery (ie, it requires the vendor_boot variant of OrangeFox).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] rashazad:
I tested latest beta version first.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
The latest full vendor_boot beta boots fine. However, the unified beta can't decrypt.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] dosimple12:
i see.. so if i have aospa official recovery, just fastboot install boot_vendor ofoxvendor then reboot to recovery to get in to ofox right? and if im in ofox vendor, can i flash normal rom with ofox vendor too? or i must flash normal ofox in ofox vendor first?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
If you want to ask multiple questions, it is best to number them. I am using my own numbering in my response

1. Yes

2. https://xdaforums.com/t/vendor_boot-roms.4575777/#post-88415981

I need to investigate why the unified variant can't decrypt aospa-uvite. I imagine it's a matter of updating the kernel, as the logcat entries seem to indicate. If that turns out to be the case, I will make a new beta release of the unified variant very soon.

PS: I think you should do /data formatting with the aospa official recovery for now - until I make new releases, because if the kernel needs to be updated for the unified variant, then it should also probably be updated for the vendor_boot variant.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Techguy777:
Very nicely done I just used the vendor_boot_poco f3 version and it worked like a charm. Now I can test android 14 roms out without a problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ginemi1651:
1. Why can't the unified variant decrpyt uvite? is there any difference between the unified and vendor_boot only builds?

2. How does the unified actually work? does it just do a check if it's vendor_boot or standard and flash the appropriate build? or does it just flash a single img that's compatible with both of the configurations

3. does flashing ofox actually change the kernel? does it just do a patch? or does it totally change it with a custom kernel?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
1a. I haven't been able to figure that out. I just have to accept that there is something different about uvite, and it requires a full vendor_boot recovery for decryption.

1b. Of course - otherwise there would only be one variant of the recovery (which is what I am aiming for with the unified variant).

2. A single img that aims for compatibility with all configurations by embracing all commonalities. It works for all ROMs tested so far, except uvite (decryption issues on uvite).

3. Flashing any recovery (except vendor_boot) on alioth and any other vAB device just flashes the recovery ramdisk. The kernel remains that of the ROM. With vendor_boot, the vendor_boot partition is normally replaced, but the kernel still remains that of the ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ginemi1651:
I see,

for 1b.

i should've clarified that aside from the location of the recovery/ location-related configurations is there any major difference?

for 3.

since it just replaces the recovery part,

is there any difference in how ofox affects the kernel in the initial installation/replacement/flashing of ofox vs flashing a new kernel?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ginemi1651:
Because i have a sneaking suspicion that replacing the recovery on a certain rom with ofox is the cause of its decline in battery life and it's either caused by ofox being incompatible with the update process of that specific rom or the kernel is being affected somehow by the initial install process since it seems that the issue is fixed by re flashing a new kernel, although right now i'm still in the inital testing phases where im setting a baseline to compare overnight charge levels (which would take atleast an extra 2 days for the testing to produce actual results since i have to test whether 1. flashing ofox causes it, 2. checking if reflashing the orginal kernel fixes it, 3. the guaranteed fix of flashing a 3rd party kernel)

TLDR:

either ofox is somehow changing the kernel and causing incompatibilities or

ofox is incompatible with some processes of the ROM

and changing the kernel to a 3rd party fixes either of those issues (whichever is the correct cause)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Wow. This is a new thing - that flashing a recovery can cause a decline in battery life. Please stop the speculation.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] heccatia:
Does the information in this thread also apply to just fastboot booting recoveries instead of flashing? this is my first time having an a/b device so idk if it's relevant as well
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
This thread is about vendor_boot ROMs abd recoveries. They are a special case.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ginemi1651:
I know it sounds stupid, but hear me out

Whenever i flash ofox, i get a "System is updating" prompt every then and now

So my thinking is that whatever should've stopped or finished that process with the stock recovery never happens with ofox causing it to loop and try to finish the process thereby causing battery drain
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Well, you certainly have a unique experience. Without specific details, and without logs, I can't comment - other than to say that I've not been lucky enough to experience this problem, and it has not been reported by anyone else.

How do I install Net-Hunter on a OnePlus 8 Pro using OxygenOS/Andriod 13? The install documentation Net-Hunter images state it uses Android version twelve. Does that mean I must roll back my devices before attempting to flash them? I am very new to rooting devices, so any help is appreciated. I'm using Linux instead of Windows as a daily driver, so the documentation hasnt been so helpful, but here is where I am so far; correct me if I've made a mistake. (I've assumed I had to rollback the Android version but If I do not plz, let me know)

I've unlocked the boot-loader

I've downloaded the OnePlus 8 Pro android 11 firmware onto my laptop(I am not sure if links are allowed here, but ill post in the comments if someone wants to verify its the right one)

I've dumped the payload.bin from the firmware, extracting it into .img files

I then connected my OnePlus 8 Pro to my Linux system and I ran the following commands:

fastboot reboot fastboot fastboot flash abl abl.img
fastboot flash aop aop.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash qupfw qupfw.img
fastboot flash storsec storsec.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

The last command gave me the following error: Fix FAILED (remote: 'Not enough space to resize partition')

Like an idiot, I restarted the phone and bricked it, so now it looks like ill have to open a Windows VM with MSMDownloadTool (if anyone knows a Linux alternative, that would be swell)

TLDR:

Do I need to roll back to Android 12 to install Net-Hunter?=

If not, does anyone know of a Linux-friendly method?

If so, what mistake did I make to get that error?

Is there a Linux equivalent to MSMDownloadTool?

When I run lsusb the phone shows up as: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05c6:900e Qualcomm, Inc. QUSB_BULK_SN:B8FAE271.

Reasearch indicates on Linux I can use a tool called qdl to flash Qualcomm devices in EDL (Emergency Download) mode. qdl is a command-line tool that works with Qualcomm Firehose programmers.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markaka:
I'm building an application that requires the use of the depth sensor on my Samsung Galaxy A80. However it seems like it's impossible to access it through Camera2 and ARCore. I asked Samsung directly and the tech support guys best guess was that Samsung has locked it from being used by third parties.

I rooted my phone and started digging through the file system and eventually found a file called 'com.samsung.sensor.imx316.so' located in /vendor/lib/camera (imx316 is the depth sensor). There are also some similar files that ends in '.bin', but .so files seems to be runnable code if I understood the google results correctly.

That file has the same name as the sensor I can't seem to access. Can this file be used somehow? Can I run it in my own app to get access to the depth data? And if not, there should be a way of getting that data right? I mean, it obviously exists somewhere in the phone since pre-installed apps are using it, and a rooted phone has access to everything?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lioce:
Did you check REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_DEPTH_OUTPUT? How do you know it's impossible?

Most likely you need to reverse engineer the Camera app from your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluess57:
Your app can call com.samsung.sensor.imx316.so , it's really "just" a linux elf library.

The problem you face is the exported routines from the library, you won't really know

1) the parameters to the functions inside the library

2) any specific order to call functions inside the library i.e. like an init function first , release memory last...

You need to disassemble / reverse engineer the library to make some sense of it (see ghidra / radare2/ ida pro etc ).

Use strace on the current process/app which uses the library to make some sense of the order of calls into the library.

The depth data will be coming from a kernel level driver, you can likely obtain the Samsung kernel source and the driver source should be there. Then it's up to you whether you can make user space library/code to read what the driver exposes. The kernel driver source code will have an uapi header file to investigate.

I have a Verizon Touch Pro and I do not like the fact that there is not an easy way to move from conversation to conversation in txt messaging.

For example

1. you are having a convo with friend 1 and then friend 2 txts you

2. the only way I know how to move to that other conversation is to use

a. the ok button on the touch screen or

b. the back button on the front hardware buttons.

c. hit the messaging button and then select sms messages

I was thinking that if the "my button" could be mapped to sms messages and it would relieve this issue as it would be a single click back to all the sms conversations, but that does not seem to be the case as the closes i can map it too is the mail setting which goes to the same place as (c) above.

Any help on this will be very much appreciated

So any time my wallpaper changes, my phone changes the theme of itself. Changes my messages, my web browser, backgrounds all of it. Not talking about the icons, but my whole screen. So instead of like a white text message box, that **** turns pink, or orange, or some other nonsense based off of the wallpaper....
