The real reason there is no twrp for devices these days is because of a/b partitioning and also because of the way a rom is flashed nowadays aka a super partition vs system ect... being seperate like in the past. Not to mention the devs of twrp have stated multiple times it would include a full rewrite of twrp code to get it up to snuff and working on current day devices and they have chose not todo so. So only one dev of twrp has chose to do that in his spare time.

And yes i realize there have been people who habe gotten twrp to boot but alot of the features of it are useless nowadays like the backup of the data partition because of encyptione ect. Ect...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
Have you actually tried flashing anything to any subdirectory of /system using ADB under Android 13? I'd be very surprised (but happily so!) if you could make that work.

Also, after flashing an OS, installing Magisk, installing Magisk modules, and perhaps messing with other aspects of the system, all those steps would have to be repeated in the same order in which they were initially performed if a hosed device needs to be restored to its exact, previously working state.

That will take a lot more than 10 minutes.

On my older Pixel 5 running A11 and TWRP, I could completely mess up my system, and after a 15-minute nandroid restore, it would be running properly again in the exact, modded and rooted running state that it was in before I messed up.

Without nandroid, it would require a lot more headachy work than that to get back to my exact, previously running state.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] allenjthomsen:
Lmfao are you serious no im not that stupid, id just reflash the super partition which houses the system partition and guess what boot right back up afterwards with no data loss because guess what the data partition is not stored in super.img its stored in userdata partition. So the phone would boot right back up.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
Have you actually tried backing up and restoring the super partition under crDroid 9.8 on a Cheetah device?

If you've gotten that to work, could you list all of the steps you used to back up and then restore it?

My original question concerning this topic asked for an alternative to nandroid that will work with crDroid 9.8 on Cheetah. If your suggested procedure would actually work, it would be the answer to this original question of mine.

And I'm not trying to suggest that you might be stupid. Please accept my apology for my bad writing if what I posted might have seemed to be saying that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] allenjthomsen:
So with that ,i dont need to backup and restore the super partition at all i would just use the super partition for crdroid-9.8 and extract it using fastboot enhance and flash it over top and reboot. and just an fyi i am currently running crdroid-9.9...

If you would like a precise guide on how to use fastboot enhance to extract files for crdroid id be more than willing to write one up and tell you how to flash all the partitions back to a device that say has a messed up system partition.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] allenjthomsen:
I will note the only partition that could cause a problem on restore is the userdata partition because it is encypted but i have not run into that issue as of yet or even tried to restore that partition in itself... Aka if that were the issue thats where the folder sync pro and swift backup come in to play.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] allenjthomsen:
I correct myself the layout for crdroid it does have a system partition which i know is flashable because i just tested it and was able to reboot and boot up
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
Thank you.

I use Linux and don't utilize Fastboot Enhance. Rather, I just flash using the standard fastboot that comes with the Linux SDK.

I'm not familiar with Fastboot Enhance, but if it's used in this case as some sort of tool for extracting and flashing partitions, I know how to do that using the standard fastboot from the Linux SDK.

But yes, a step-by-step description would be helpful.

No rush for that, of course.

And thank you again!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
Oh, that's great!

Once I learn how to do the equivalent of nandroid backup and restore, I'll write a linux shell script to accomplish these tasks, and after testing, I'll post it here.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
Man would bei great to learn how to do a restore like you guys discussed above. 🤙😉

Hi

What does the "Themed icons" option mean? In theory, it should disable icon styles in the menu. In practice it doesn't affect anything.

The "Battery Bar" option probably doesn't work either. The bar does not appear, reboot does not help

How to disable song interruptions in the player when notifications arrive? Now it’s just silence and that’s all. I wanted the sound of notifications not to affect music playback

crDroid version from 25 oct 2023
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JimWest7997:
Can anyone help me get Magisk to work? I hadn't upgraded my phone in a while and now I'm totally lost when it comes to slots A and B.

If I flash in the following order all works:

1. slot B: flash crdroid

2. reboot to slot A: flash crdoird again

3. reboot to slot B: flash Nikgapps

4. reboot to slot A: flash Nikgapps again.

This seems to be the only way to get everything to work. At what point and in which slot can I flash the patched init boot img to root via magisk?

I feel like I've tried eveything and keep getting stuck in a bootloop..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
Flash rom and Gapps on one slot only. Flash patched init boot image to opposite slot.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JimWest7997:
Thought I had to reboot to opposite slot after flashing ROM? Thanks in advance, I'll try it tonight.

Google has starting enforcing "DEVICE_INTEGRITY" much more stringently starting within the past week or so, and that's almost definitely the cause of this.

The crDroid settings has an option for that, is enabled by default, and worked on a OnePlus phone running crDroid as far as I know. I don't use gPhotos so I can't say if it works or not on this particular build but it probably does.

Got it via OTA after changing CSC to EUX via SamFw. Thanks.

I noticed EUX csc has voice-mail integrated in dialer! It's great

But no spam Hiya and recording calls... so back to INS

Nobody knows how to mod a csc without root?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Beefheart:
Just got it. OTA in the UK, model SM-F936B/DS.

Will update to see if battery improves. Might have imagined it but June didn't seem quite as good as May for me in that respect.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cooldude20000:
And is absolute volume fixed yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] iron@ss:
Just the July Security patch I'm afraid.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] iron@ss:
Looks like all the unlocked U.S.A. devices, F936U1, have received this July update, F936U1UES3CWF3.

So far, the only international devices, F936B, (17.00hrs BST 12th July), to receive the July update are the regional devices for Europe on CSC codes EUX & EUY.

See post #1 for more details.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] iron@ss:
Samsung have now begun rolling out this July update in earnest with releases for more European devices as well as Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. It shouldn't be too long before the U.K. carrier branded devices receive it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Beefheart:
Running it for a couple of days and noticed a definite improvement in battery life, back to May levels. 95% inner screen use and currently on 2 hours 53 minutes SOT with 65% remaining. Can't complain.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] knowthenazz:
Hi all,

Any longer term reviews of the July update on the Fold 4?

Battery life? WIFI? VPN?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] knowthenazz:
Update:

Well I upgraded from the 2022DEC update to 2023JUL update.

I noticed no difference in cell signal, or VPN (OpenVPN) usage. My WIFI has been good as well, and as a bonus, I'm now able to connect to WIFI6 networks.

Today, my screen on time (SOT) was 2h22m, and it's been 11h12m since my last charge. I'm currently at 27% battery remaining.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] roma1000:
Hey guys.

I am joining many others.

I have purchased my phone in Israel.

Updated to latest update .

Since then wi fi does not work. Bluetooth is working randomly.

When I press on wifi, it becomes slightly red but eventually goes to black again and cannot be turned on.

I assume that It is a software bug as with you guys.

Currently living in Europe so cannot fix it as the warranty valid only in the country I bought it from as far as I know (anyone knows something esle ).

also what i have noticed is that sometimes if it is folded after reboot wife will work but the moment I open to full size , it shows message that Sim card is removed, I am switching to the correct Sim and no wifi an no Bluetooth.

Any one else experiencing the same ?

My question, what should be done to let samsung know about this issue. I am sure that they can fix this with a small software update. We just need somehow to let them know about this.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] JazonX:
Have you tried a clean factory reset ?

This usually solves a lot of issues. Dont restore any old backup, just clean set it up and give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] roma1000:
I am not sure about a clean reset. I read that I'd didn't help to guys who have same case like me and honestly I have many apps and settings that will need to be reinstalled , so waiting may be for the next samsung update...hopefully they will release soon
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Beefheart:
Until you do the reset, there isn't much else you can be advised about. It's always the first step with an issue like this, and would be the first thing Samsung would do if you took it to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] JazonX:
Couldn't agree more.

First step for any fault in Samsung Service Centers - Factory Reset !

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cooldude20000:
EUX doesn't have it yet
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] JazonX:
Yes, Typo I guess.

EUY has it, but withheld by Samsung.

EUX never had it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] AllAboutTech:
hi all,

the situation is like this:

1. August update for different regions outside EUX and EUY will not allow you to register to OneUI 6 Beta.

2. One UI 5.1.1 for EUX and EUY will the same not allow you to regiater to any O eUI 6 Beta

3. Only OTA August update for EUX and EUY will allow you to register to O eUI 6 Beta or to manually install the update.zip

so you will need to chose either OneUI 5.1.1 or OneUI 6 Beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] elio321:
I have UK model how do I get ui6 beta and manually install it please ?...Will I then continue to get OTA updates in future if I do this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] JazonX:
Problem is with neither options being available at the moment.

If Beta track is open - Great I will take it.

if One UI 5.1.1 is seeding, No problem - I can take that also.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] JazonX:
Not yet available for Fold 4 !
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cooldude20000:
Yes when the beta is released you open the galaxy members app if you have a supported csc the banner will show up to enroll once enrolled you will get it as an OTA update and yes updates will be offered in the future once the betas done.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cooldude20000:
1. August update for different regions outside EUX and EUY will not allow you to register to OneUI 6 Beta.

It's not released for other cscs just if u flashing via odin nothing will change

2. One UI 5.1.1 for EUX and EUY will the same not allow you to regiater to any O eUI 6 Beta

No you can still register if you have a supported CSC like eux or euy

3. Only OTA August update for EUX and EUY will allow you to register to O eUI 6 Beta or to manually install the update.zip

Yes if like last year only EUX and EUY could join I had a Eux model my friend has an ee model so I sideloaded it for him through ADB I uploaded every update.zip last year and hope to do it again this year.

At the minute the beta for fold 4 isn't out if like last year it will be late September early October I had the September update and the first Beta came with the October security patch.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] antisocialbratt:
looks like they messed up something in the update and realized it very late hence the rollout in one or 2 locations and then pulling out of rest of the locations. usually the rollout happens within 1-2 days of each other.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] KosInUK:
they always mess up something, and we are the ones that we have to suffer at the end waiting for that bloody firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cooldude20000:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cooldude20000:
That's the one thing I like about iphones updates always come on time it's one of the reasons why I'm looking at the pixel fold as well
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] KosInUK:
i was thinking to get pixel fold as well, had enough of waiting
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cooldude20000:
Yep, the other good thing about the pixel fold is you get updates every 1st of the month if theirs a bug in the update they tell you it's going to be late. Also, they get the choice to use the betas like the s23 ultra the folds their most expensive phone yet it gets updates after the s line
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] JazonX:
I wouldn't consider a Pixel Fold right now given the amount of complaints they have for the screen. It's their beta test, which is the same experience we went through during the Samsung Z fold 1 with the sticker fiasco. Samsung has been a matured experienced player in this foldable industry alongside Huawei hence those two brands are the only brands I would consider for foldable tech now. Huawei's Phone wouldv'e been a wicked addon if only they had google service embedded. We would've embedded it ourselves if they unlocked their damn bootloader and enabled root access / dev support to allow community development. Sadly, their priorities are still governed by very old / inexperienced or immature people.

No doubt, in terms of software and camera algorithm, Pixels are the best.

But let them make another fodable to learn from their current issues.
