Actually, serial ports might be what I am looking for. It's the way you were telling me about it that put me off... but thanks. If official Odin was used before, it will interfere, but getting rid of the samsung USB driver should work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheAirBlow:
But, the cdc_asm driver on linux is the equivalent to the CDC USB driver on windows, which I was disabling and doing raw communication instead - because it's how samsung did it. I don't know if it actually interferes in any way - I could rewrite the Linux communication to use serial ports just as a test.

On Windows, if the serial ports aren't a reliable option, the only thing you can do is to write a driver. WinUSB is one of them, which gives you ability to use LibUSB - which sucks as it's too high-level and known to have problems (Heimdall is an example)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WilliamAzen:
Hello @TheAirBlow

I am interested in using your software to flash a device with a custom OS ROM. I ask if you will be continuing to develop it, and add features?

Additionally I ask if it is possible to fetch the stock OS ROM that is preinstalled on the device for backup, and what feature to use to do so?

Finally has anyone had any success with a Samsung Galaxy A70?

Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kfcflasher:
Hello @TheAirBlow

Thank you for your commitment to developing Thor flashing software. As a c# dev myself, i am thinking of creating a fork for a windows, but i feel Odin is fit for purpose for Windows. So my time could be used better.

I am trying to flashTar a directory with ap cp bl and csc files to my device, which successfully connects and begins odin protocol. Also can perform fac reset and other functions on device.

My issue is the console wont pick up the path to my firmware- flashTar home/foo/bar/tarfilepath it gives error no such directory exists, i have followed the platform specific rules, androidrule51 and applied temporary disabling. I can assure you that the directory exists and i am running - sudo dotnet run.

My goal is to successfully flash official stock firmware on to the phone, heimdall works fine, but only up to the system.img where it displays error "only official binaries allowed to be installed. System."! It is official, dang man, even spent hours decompressing lz4 files to try to flash individual partitions. Still no joy.

I appreciate any help or advice anyone can give me here. Thanks IA.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ethical_haquer:
What about if you use "sudo ./TheAirBlow.Thor.Shell" to run it?

I had the same error at one point, but I don't remember how I fixed it. 😊
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kfcflasher:
Thanks for getting back so swiftly.

Forgot to mention i am running xubuntu 22.04, jammy.

I have run the command, and although the application seems to run smoother, i am now getting error Failed to bulk read, connection timed out 110.

I am remembering to reset device and disconnect via Thor (and reconnect) after every error.

Probably a good time to point out :Unknown is not Zero :80 , warning on begin odin protocol.

Ive changed USB ports, and my wire is known to be good.

Il probably have yo give this a break for a day or two as ive been down the XDA flashing 'rabbit hole' for about 4 days straight. Lol.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ethical_haquer:
No problem! Sorry for my late reply. :)

Ok, I'm running Debian 12, so similar.

Well, as you know, that's a common issue, and there's no known work-around for it, sadly.

That's just for info, it's not an error, so don't worry about it (I have it as well).

:ROFLMAO: That's always how it is. Have you tried odin4 yet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kfcflasher:
Yes last night, odin4 worked!!!!!

Heimdall requires img and bin files. The system.img.lz4 must be decompressed prior to mapping in Heimdall-frontend, therefore the system.img file passed to Heimdall was always going to have a signature in the footer altered from the original, for Verified Boot (VBMeta / AVB check)

Upon realising this i had given up all hope, but still, i enjoyed the learning curve of flashing and geting low level into the android system. At one point i ended up at xda thread odin4 for linux. Could it be possible to feed AP, CP, BL and CSC via odin4 for linux written by i believe the TheAirBlow ? It was worth a shot.

Realising that the files would have the integrity expected by vbmeta.img , i became excited. Surely it cannot be this simple. With a 10 year old laptop running linux, and a possible faulty USB port and nothing to lose, i fed the command ./odin4 -b /foo/bl.md5 etc etc etc and hit enter on the terminal.

Successful flash first time at approx 6mins and also successful reboot into the android welcome screen.

But i need to workaround damm FRP now. Haha.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ARDV:
so this just works with a rooted phone? cant work with download mode like odin?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ethical_haquer:
No, it works in download mode, just like Odin. Also, your phone doesn't need to be rooted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheAirBlow:
Odin4 is official (made by Samsung), it's right in the title lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Naxil:
hello, iam noob ok, i want to root my a035g and i find ODINjava very unstable.

I want try Thor and i that's my step

1 adb reboot bootloader

2 phone in download mode i open TheAirBlowThorShell and i do connect (now it see a different Samsung Phone why? in Os mode say GALAXY MTP (useless i know) but in DownloadMode (bootloader right?) its Different name (samsung IGP5200 i not remember well but not A035G) its normal?

3 i have read the PIT with shell> printPit (how to save it)?

so if i unlock bootloader, patch AP with magisk (is possible do it directly on linux is annoyng write 7,9gb on phone) and rewrite AP on FW directory, i can simply tell to THOR , Write this DIRECTORY and that's it? AMAZING if YES (i see the video on github, in the video him/her select only recovery, but in my case i need to select all?) and what options i need to setup?

PS= file on my fw directory is AP (that's i want patch), BL, CP, CSC and CSC home.

question:

1 file need to be renamed tar.md5?

2 Home CSC need to be erased? i have read home csc is your data,app ecc but if come from STOCK fw (download from samfw) it's useless? i need to DUMP home CSC from my phone? if yes HOW?

Sorry for tons of question if isn't the right SPOT sorry
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gueste4555:
Could also allow us to use the software with a GUI, as the Linux command lines can be redundant?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ethical_haquer:
You mean is there a GUI for it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gueste4555:
yes sorry for my bad English
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ethical_haquer:
That's alright. I thought that was what you were saying, but it doesn't hurt to clarify.

I have made Thor GUI, which is a GUI for Thor. It has a few bugs though, so you may just want to wait until v0.5.0 is released, which is a complete re-write and will also add support for Odin4.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gueste4555:
ok I will wait for the next version 😉
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gueste4555:
I also hope that the TOR functionalities will be implemented in the next graphical version of Tor
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ethical_haquer:
Flashing Odin archives will be supported.

As for the rest, they will be implemented at some point.

Keep in mind that the GUI still exposes the CLI (Command Line Interface), so those other things can still be used with the GUI, but you will have to type the commands as usual.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gueste4555:
ok and the flash procedure is similar to Odin Official?

and also is it possible to flash stock 7GB Samsung Firmware without problem, as well as flash ROMS and ReCs?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ethical_haquer:
Yes, the flashing procedure is very similar to Odin.

There shouldn't be any issues flashing Stock firmware and ROMs, I'm not familiar with ReCs. What are they?

The GUI uses Thor, so if Thor can flash something, than so can Thor GUI.

Support for flashing Odin archives was dropped in all current versions of Thor GUI, because there were issues with the graphical partition selection, so definitely wait for v0.5.0.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gueste4555:
ReC = Custom Recovery.

or a ReC designed by third parties therefore not included by default.

There are quite a few ReCs, namely TWRP, Orange Fox Recovery or SHRP.

Oh, I see. Thanks!

Hello,

I'm using a Watch 5 pro with a S23 Ultra.

The phone correctly receives whatsapp notifications without any delay, on the other hand the same notification needs some seconds to be displayed on my watch.

I installed the beta whatsapp wear app.

Can you help me solve this problem?

Ps. I've already put whatsapp in "no suspension mode" on my phone

Hi,

On my Watch the notification arrived later than the phone. Sometimes i need to wake up the watch in order to received the notification. I swear this is a problem related to beta app.

[xxxxxxx]: 2.001sec

[booting]: (no input device)

command error

in booting step the fastboot exit and then when i tried many times i did this command: fastboot reboot fastboot

[General Questions and Answers] FuzzyWuggzy:
Hi XDA

I'm having an issue deodexing or signature spoofing, all the tutorials seem to be for Android 9, 11 or 12, but not 10. Everyone seems to recommend Nanodroid but that isn't working for me, the MicroG self-check fails on "System spoofs signature" and "Play Services (GmsCore) has correct signature", I hear this happens when spoofing is enabled system-wide, but most Gapps still don't work properly, like the Play Store crashing immediately on startup (I'd prefer to use the Aurora store so I'm just listing it as a symptom), YouTube (stock and revanced root installed) complaining that Play Services isn't enabled, no notifications and location services not working at all so Maps is useless.

I did try Smali Patcher and that didn't work either (though the Screenshot on restricted apps patch did work) and I've heard some call it "shady" though they didn't say why.

I've heard that there is a way of enabling spoofing on a per-app basis (like apps requesting root access) which I would prefer, and I wasn't really a fan of how Nanodroid disabled the app installation dialog box (I prefer to micromanage updates), though as mentioned above I did like that screenshots couldn't be blocked.

Does my ideal setup exist or it is another pipe-dream?

Thank you in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] FuzzyWuggzy:
Thank you for the suggestion, I ran the script as root but it didn't change anything.

EDIT: I just read through the documentation on the nanodroid repo and it seems you can't set up MicroG using this method on a Gapps preloaded stock ROM without installing it through recovery, which I can't as there's no port of any custom recoveries like TWRP.
[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:

That said I want messages and the like to continue to show on lockscreen but I don't want my calendar notifications to show up.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Saktoor:
I have a device

Mi 11t pro

I reset EFS file without backup.

The device no longer works and it is restarting in recovery mode

I downloaded several Xiaomi ROMs, including the modified EU ROM

And nothing benefited

Download custom recovery and custom ROM

So the device works but without lmie

Maintenance in my country told me the only solution is to remove the device and remove the resistance

But I do not want to disassemble the device now

Is there a way to make the device work without imei? On the official xiaomi rom? Because modified ROMs contain many errors and consume the battery

Is there a way to recover EFS files? Does anyone have a backup copy of the EFS file for the same type of my device so that I can restore it, perhaps my device will work again

[Mogul, XV6800 General] GoinAllTheWay:
I'm sorry if this has been discussed at length already, looked through a number of pages and didn't find much.

I bought this phone last August (07) and at the time, it was pre-loaded with WM5. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I realized that you could update it to WM6. Upgrade was smooth enough, got the GPS to work (sweet) but at times, this phone just stops re-sponding all together. You have to tap a button seveal times to get a response and writing an email when it is like this is beyond frustrating. Then it works fine for the rest of the day. No real predictable time that it happens, seems to be very random. Sometimes after I plug it into my computer it will do it for abit after I unplug it. I don't have many programs running. Seem to have about 30-40% memory available at all times.

So in short, at random times it REALLY slows down to the point of uselessness and then a half our later it's fine.

Is this normal for WM6? If so I have to say the pros don't always outweigh the cons.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] j77drummer:
I would say that is not normal well at least my experience hasn't been that way

If you have updated since then there has been a 6.1 release for the phone.

Just looked at it again more closely, would appear I'm already at 6.1.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] grumpy1709:
I have been struggling with getting a definitive answer to the question if VoLTE is possible on the H4213.

I am led to believe VoLTE is a software ability that does leverage on some hardware requirement.

After not finding the .."enable VoLTE switch" in settings on the Stock Rom but getting info from SONY that the H4213 is a VoLTE capable device, I flashed LineageOS 19.1 plus some Gapps to the Sony.

All good! Now there is a VoLTE slider in settings but still unable to get VoLTE connection. The sim is supposed to be 4G/LTE only.

When I run Network Cell Info (Device+sim) and #4636# Sim shows as ready and Network Type as LTE and in service, VoLTE ,Video calling and WiFi calling provisioned .... but Device Telephony shows Phone Type as GSM and VoLTE capable - No. Same for WiFi Call avail - No and Video Call - NO.

I have been thinking of running VoLTE-fix to see if this fixes anything but that would be of no use if the device HW is not VoLTE capable.

Anybody out there that can say with certainty that the device is VoLTE capable.

I have a suspicion that the sim may be the issue here, as I am also struggling to connect to Mobile data on the sim and the APN information looks dodgy.

This is with RainOne in South Africa, and the surprising thing is that if the number of that sim is called I immediately receive an SMS that I had received a call . SMS and Whatsapp works.

Any light on this issue will be appreciated. Ideas, thoughts anything !

Thanks

I am trying to stock firmware back onto my Samsung however I am running into an issue with Odin and installing the OS firmware. I am running into a SW REV. Check Fail(bootloader) Device: 12 Binary: 1 error. From my understanding I need to download some firmware that supports binary 12 is that correct? If so what sort of firmware name am I looking for? best I can find/download seems to be G955FXXUCDVG4. (which I believe may be 10?

Any help or support would be very apricated.

[General Topics] Atharkhan101:
Original batteries of phone which are made by manufacturer (OEM) are known to have good battery backup however sometimes they are not available as OEM simply stop making it anymore and we end up buying copies or battery with other manufacturer (3rd party).

In rare scenarios, batteries which are available from 3rd party manufacturer can really have good battery backup than the OEM.

If in case the battery is not available from OEM, then we can go for 3rd party and to know the battery is good or bad or how would be the battery backup, we could perform below test:

1. Turn off Auto Brightness and set display brightness to 80-90%

2. Set volume level to 10/15. My phone has 15 volume level steps.

3. Download a video song in YouTube

4. Charge battery till 80%. You can use app called Battery Alarm by Zoran Vujacic. Install it. Set the Max Alarm % to 80%

5. Turn on Airplane mode.

6. Restart Phone

7. Play that downloaded YouTube song, in settings, select 'Loop Video = On'

8. Play for an hour

9. Now check battery percentage.

10. (optional) Repeat this test 2-3 times to get almost accurate battery drain percentage.
