[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
This is the Linux I am currently running:

root@localhost:/# cat /etc/os-release command

NAME="Ubuntu"

VERSION="14.04, Trusty Tahr"

ID=ubuntu

ID_LIKE=debian

PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"

VERSION_ID="14.04"

HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"

SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"

BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"

I have installed MtkClient within the Linux in attempts to flash a Media MediaTek MT8163 device.

I have done it before successfully in the past using this tool. Now however I am encountering this issue:

Well this time I am getting two different "error" messages after establishing a handshake.

The first message is:

Failed to dump preloader from ram

The second message is:

Preloader needed due to dram config

Any ideas on what I may be able to to do to fix this issue anyone?

I also have some screenshots of it will help.

Here they are...
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
Please specify the preloader file for your phone.

python [command] [--preloader=Loader/Preloader/your_device_preloader.bin]
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
This is what you were asking for correct:

preloader_tb8163p3_bsp.bin
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
Yes you have to define it.

What are you trying to do with your phone?
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
Alot technically...haha but for now flash the following (5) mmcblk0p's: boot, recovery, vendor, system, cache (if necessary)
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
Then I would like to use a systemless root and reinstall an ADB backup I made. I already pulled the Global Partitioning Table in it's entirety with the exception of the userdata, I was hoping to get around that by restoring the adb backup once the device is flashed.
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
Any tips on how to define my preloader?
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
mention the command that you entered and got the error

and then I will make changes to it
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
Okay the first command was:

python3 mtk w boot boot.img
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
I usually can get a handshake and after that run each subsequent command back to back after each one has completed the flash. I even saved the as favorite commands to avoid any typos. My problem is now after that handshake, no flash... Kicks me back out to MtkClient
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
python3 mtk w boot boot.img [--preloader=Full path of your phone's preloader file where it is stored]

So for example if preloader is stored in D drive in preloader folder then it would be like

python3 mtk w boot boot.img [--preloader=D:\preloader\preloader_tb8163p3_bsp.bin]
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
or else you can copy your preloader_tb8163p3_bsp.bin file to the

mtk client main folder where all preloader files are stored under loader/preloader folder and then enter command.

Also make sure everytime it throws an error or you wan to try next command the brom mode has to be reset and then try again.

python3 mtk w boot boot.img [--preloader=Loader/Preloader/preloader_tb8163p3_bsp.bin]
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
So like this:

python3 mtk w boot boot.img [--preloader=/mnt/linux/home/mtkclient/preloader_tb8163p3_bsp.bin]
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
Yes.

Also make sure the there is only one DA file in the mtkclient folder which supports your device.

Delete all other DA files that are not required.
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
Alright so the good news is I got in the BROM loader using this command:

python3 mtk w boot boot.img --preloader=preloader_tb8163p3_bsp.bin

So that was good. The issue I ran into next was the device got knocked into fastboot...

I tried to erase the boot and system partitions and then reimaged them, all to no avail.

So then I decided to flash the ENTIRE mmcblk0p images all 25 of them, I skipped userdata (which is #25 out of 26 total).

Now I can't seem to get the device to turn on....so I guess I'll keep you posted!

Also thank you very much for the help! Much obliged!
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
You are not supposed to erase system partition or boot partition.
[General Questions and Answers] SickBirdi3:
But does it matter, as long as I reflash another boot.img? Because something is there now. Because I flashed one after I erased it.

Or is this something I should never do? Like listen SickBirdi3, never ever NEVER ERASE THE BOOT.IMG!!! Lol

Let me know when you have a chance please.

I have had issues before with system and so when I flashed another system image on top the problem still remained. The only way I have fixed this issue was either:

a) wipe, and then reimaged the system

or

b) factory reset the device

On some devices I have also been able to get in via ADA and flash them through the XSU which is actually fairly easy if setup properly! haha
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
I would recommend you to reflash it using sp flash tool using available stock rom on the internet.

My best advice would be to use a windows machine.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Kireej:
Ok so while using software i probably shouldnt i managed to hard brick my device. I try with mtk client and ut starts to recognize it then says handshake failed. Please help me just get it to flash stock. For the love of god please!!!

Edit: i got past handshake error just need full rom with correct scatter.

[Google Pixel tablet] Mobe1969:
Awesome news! I need a new Tablet and this shows up!
[Google Pixel tablet] jlokos:
Flashed it this afternoon and it appears to be working fine. I had to flash official version as I'm on August firmware. I'll give it a few days.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Firmware is included in builds so no need to worry about it.
[Google Pixel tablet] Diiva27:
Hi, is there a way to keep hub mode after installing this rom? Once installed it does not work.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
We are working on that.
[Google Pixel tablet] Hittsy_TW:
I can't cast from youtube or screencast from my phone to my pixel tablet like I could with stock. Is that intentional?
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Still working on it - have a tester trying some things while I'm out of town.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Not this next build on Wednesday, but the one after should fix docking/casting use cases.

For those of you on unofficial it will just work for those of you on official you'll need to update not only the build, but to a newer MindTheGapps we are uploading to their release page now.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Hey all, I am moving and therefore the unofficial update server/wiki will be down for a few days. Likely Wednesday, Friday at the worst.

Don’t panic when links in the OP don’t work, and your Updater app says something like “Can’t connect to server”. It is planned outage.

Thanks, see you on the other side!
[Google Pixel tablet] Hittsy_TW:
How do we update MTG (once the update is available)? Do we just reboot to recovery and sideload a fresh copy?
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
yes
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Hey y'all - Unofficial build server/download portal is back up.

It may be hit and miss tomorrow as I rewire everything, but everything /should/ be functional for now.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel tablet] Mobe1969:
The last two updates, the Lineage updater app keeps crashing trying to install. Do I need to install manually now? I tried clearing the updater cache and storage and same issue.

So to update manually, is it just:

Reboot into recovery:
adb reboot sideload
- Or -
With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Power. Then use the menu to select Recovery Mode

Sideload the LineageOS .zip
On the device, select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload mode
adb sideload XXXX.zip

Once complete, reboot:
adb reboot

Or do you need to update recovery as well?
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Updater should work fine... got a log of the failure?
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
I need logcat during the actual update failure.
[Google Pixel tablet] Mobe1969:
Note there is nothing in the log from the updater after this. When I run it, I get the popup Local update Oct 4 2023 has been imported. Do you want to install it? I click INSTALL, and it just dies. I eventually get the OS message "this app keeps crashing" and it allows me to go to the app info page, and I clear storage and try again.

Also note I'm not running GAPPS. It is pretty vanilla, just a straight install, no rooting or mucking about with anything
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Lol - to meeee it looks like you need to reboot and it's already applied.

Have you tried rebooting to see if it already installed the first time?
[Google Pixel tablet] Mobe1969:
No my unit was showing Sept 27 build. When I downloaded 4 October, it crashed as I've described above. Speed wise the install is slow, and this is immediate.

I have somehow managed to get it to install Oct 4 via the inbuilt updater now, after failing trying to sideload. It is part way thru the "finalizing package installation" step now.
[Google Pixel tablet] C.Flat:
NVM just found the setting.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
update already installs it looks like, just try to reboot and see if it boots into it
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
@npjohnson The official specs page by Google says there is Wifi 6 (ax) support, and so does GSMArena. But the wiki page lists only up to Wifi 5 (ac). Does the device page need to be updated?

Edit: Also, just to be super sure, we have to use the Mobile GApps, and not the Android TV ones, right?

Edit 2: The Pixel Tablet support page says:

> Charging Speaker Dock updates

> The Charging Speaker Dock is updated automatically if your tablet is connected to the Internet when you dock it.

Does this work on LOS too?
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Yes, will update.

Yes mobile

And yes it updates the dock.
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
Bug reporting time. Here's what I've found so far:

1. Tapping on Emergency SOS closes (crashes?) the Settings app.

2. The firewall feature is missing. I would have expected only the mobile data-related toggles to be hidden.

3. Wifi hotspot settings are missing, but the Quick Settings button is still available to use. It can successfully create a default hotspot, but there's no way to know the password. Can the settings be added back?

4. The Adaptive connectivity setting is available to use. I thought this was only for 4G-5G switching? That makes it redundant for this device.

5. Turning wifi hotspot on disconnects the device from wifi. The official spec sheet says Tangor has 2x2 MIMO, so it should be able to share its wifi connection just like other Pixels. Is this a software limitation?

6. When the device unlocks, it is always in portrait mode, regardless of orientation, and regardless of the Auto-rotate setting. I would expect a tablet to want to default to landscape.

7. Dock settings have a 'Serial number' entry that seemingly does nothing.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Bugs best live on gitlab as wiki dictates.

1. On unofficial is a known issue to be fixed.

2. File a bug ticket.

3. Does stock support hotspot? I don;t think so, I'll hide the toggle

4. Yeah, need to hide.

5. Yeah, shouldn't be able to turn it on.

4. weirdddd - this we can fix, file a bug.

7. Probably another app we need to pull.
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
Sorry, Gitlab needs either a phone number or credit card, and that's too much. I would have been fine with signing up for something that could work with a temp email.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
?

Gitlab's signup page asks for email, name, and password.

But yeah, need bugs there to track them, I do too much atm to track bugs elsewhere.
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
Yes, and after that, it wants you to confirm your identity via a phone number or a credit card, just like Google. I tried signing up, and that's where I gave up on it.

I completely understand.

Seeing as there's no other platform to interact regarding bugs, I guess I'll post reminders here every couple of months or something.
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
Just to be clear, the device is on official LOS.

Unfortunately, I can't help test this. It's not my device, so I can't flash stuff on it willy-nilly. If only NANdroid backups were still a thing.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
Thwys confusing. That menu shouldn't show on official.

I'll look into it.

Not your device but you installed Lineage on it?
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
I just checked again to be sure. The SOS menu is there. And tapping it throws you to the home screen.

Yes, when you're the techie in the household, you do what you can to minimise your maintenance burden. :S
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
Hey, sorry. I don't know what happened when I was last testing it and I can't reproduce it in any way, but the firewall works perfectly fine. I can turn Wifi access off from App Info and see it working correctly.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
fantastic, good to hear.
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
@npjohnson Figured out the lock screen thing as well! Despite having a tablet form factor, rotation at 0 degree is set to portrait mode. It's at 270 degree that the correct tablet orientation (with the camera at the top) lies.

So all that needs to be done is that the rotation axis needs to be changed so that the current 270 degree becomes the new 0 degree.

(I wonder whether other tablets with current LOS also have this problem.)

Oh, how I went about discovering this: I checked rotation settings and found that the lock screen rotation toggle was off by default. So I toggled it on, and locked the screen at 270 degree, thinking "problem solved", and planning on reporting that simply having that toggle on by default would fix the bug. However, locking and unlocking the tab again set the lock screen to 0 degree, which is portrait orientation currently.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
File a bug ticket with this info pls
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
Okay, I just tried signing up for Gitlab again, and it worked! I must have hit some sort of AI spam filter the previous time I tried.

Opening a series of bugs very soon! 🎉
[Google Pixel tablet] bkraptor:
Can anyone please confirm the following:

1. Is hub mode is working?

2. Are USI 2.0 pens supported?

3. Are there any other noteworthy quirks or bugs?

Thanks
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
1. Mostttttly - you need to launch an activity by hand first which is a pain.

TBH, wait until 21 if you rely on hub mode. It should be fixed up there.

2. If stock does.

3. No.
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
@bkraptor If you're still on stock, would you mind checking if Wifi hotspot works?
[Google Pixel tablet] bkraptor:
There is no mention of wifi hotspot on stock.
[Google Pixel tablet] npjohnson:
thx. Will nuke it.
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
I've opened 5 issues in the bug tracker. (y)
[Google Pixel tablet] andy356:
@npjohnson Could I request you to look at the Trebuchet crashing bug? The rest 4 aren't that important and can be looked at after 21 is out, but this one not only crashes Trebuchet the moment you touch a navigation button in Recents view, but also other open apps, which is risky for online transactions, for example.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] cheshyre:
I'm one of the lucky duckies whose rooted KB2005 spontaneously updated the OS, losing my root access.

1) Is there any way to re-root my device without losing all my app data?

2) Is there any way of backing up app data (from the /data/data folders) without root access?

I figured I'd ask here before driving myself crazy looking for instructions if it's not actually possible.

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
1) Yes - see https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-root-and-keeping-root-options.4387977/

2) Not really if you mean using a backup app, though you could use TWRP or Orange Fox.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] cheshyre:
Thanks.

I suppose I'll use in-app backups/exports where I can, and copy it all to my HD, in case something goes wrong and I lose everything.

[FYT Android Head Units] xavermcos:
Hello, I've been browsing the forum for some time now. Recently, I purchased a Mekede M6Pro and I've noticed that when I turn off the vehicle's ignition for about 20 minutes (just an estimated time), the device boots up from zero. I've set the delay after turning off the ACC to 3 seconds (so that the device doesn't shut down immediately upon vehicle start). However, I believe this option is related to the sleep mode, isn't it?

Is there an option to extend the duration for the device to enter a complete standby mode? I would prefer that the device doesn't initiate a complete start after approximately 1 night. I don't believe this should cause any battery-related issues. If there's a gap of more than 12 hours between turning on the ignition, the device can safely restart completely from the beginning.

Thanks for Reply :)
[FYT Android Head Units] Matt Devo:
that doesn't seem right, my M6Pro doesn't fully shut down until ~24hr inactivity. I'm not sure the exact mechanism though, maybe it's looking at battery voltage via CAN vs time in sleep?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Approximately 20 minutes is the MCU "check time" for wakelocks.

Some programs in the background set (partial) "wakelocks" to make sure the "phone" does not go into sleep mode but stays awake as these programmers do not want that important parts of their code is interrupted.

When you set these units to sleep (switch off contact), these wakelocks prevent that. If the MCU detects after 20 minutes or so, that the unit is still in active mode being approx. 0,5~0.8 Amp, instead of at 0.01~0.05 Amp, it will complete shutdown the unit to make sure your battery is not drained.

So check which app is misbehaving.

Edit: In the play store there are "wakelock Detector" apps to help you identify these programs. Nowadays this is bad programming. Google Android nowadays provide better ways.
[FYT Android Head Units] xavermcos:
Alright i understand. I will check for that. Thanks for the fast reply :)
[FYT Android Head Units] xavermcos:
Is it a bad idea to block the wakelock function at all?

I found this thing here: https://xdaforums.com/t/app-mod-7-0...-drain-before-it-is-too-late-core-v0.3526313/

I buyed betterbatteriestat but im not able to log the wakelocks. (still have to find out whats the problem)

So is it a problem instead of finding out which app locks the Unit in wake and deactivate wakelock directly block this with this? or wouldnt this work?
[FYT Android Head Units] xavermcos:
Hello :)

I blocked all wakelocks that this app found (new ones kept coming) However, the radio still goes off completely. I have now measured it again. It goes out after about 6 minutes and then draws about 0.04A (no new Wakelocks anymore in the app i have to block)

So when the radio is running and I pull off the ACC, it only draws about 0.3A instead of about 0.8A and turns black. (during this time it shows the screen again immediately if I put on ACC line 12v) but after 6 minutes it goes to approx. 0.04A if I then put on ACC line 12 V The radio starts completely from the beginning.

Is the error here somewhere else?
[FYT Android Head Units] xavermcos:
Nobody any idea? I also record how i mean the wire i connecting/disconnecting is acc

Seller send me firmware but this is not the problem🤔
[FYT Android Head Units] xavermcos:
Hello, since my device still has the problem, I'm wondering if others have this problem. To update: my device sometimes switches off completely after just 1 minute instead of remaining in sleep mode. Does somebody has any idea?

Sleep setting is on and delay is set to 3 sec after ACC off.
