[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] _tyler_:
I tried the 2nd option first, and nothing.

I found AU 146 and I had the MTKClient command running when I crashed preloader to BROM and it took like 7 min for the loading bar to complete but nothing happened. The log just says "Waiting for mtk usb device..." but in AU146 I did see a HWID in the loading bar for a few min. Am I supposed to be using the modded cable in anyway? I just had the jumpers unbridged when I ran AU146

When I jump the wires, Windows make the USB Disconnected sound and AU146 says "device removed".
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] mvikrant97:
Well then TCL has patched the Preloader.

Maybe some tools have the way to unlock bootloader in Preloader mode.

I'll look into it and let you know.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] _tyler_:
I don't think TCL made this phone, I'm pretty sure it's WingTech. Unless it's a subdivision of TCL? But your efforts are very much appreciated.

Tried a diff cable and got this log from AU146:

Waiting for mtk usb device... ok

● BRom protocol error: ACK 00 != a0
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] mvikrant97:
Yup, from this log it's clear they have disabled the BROM.

And yes TCL don't manufactures their phones but rather outsource both software and hardware development company most probably in China.

Exploiting Preloader will need the correct Download Agent (DA) file.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] mvikrant97:
@_tyler_

Install Chimera Tool using Custom Install.

Make sure you install Mediatek and Usbdk drivers from Chimera.

Restart Your PC. Your keyboard and Mouse may stop working after usbdk install and that is normal. Force restart your PC.

Register for a free account in their website.

Then login your account in the tool.

Connect your phone in Preloader mode and see if Chimera performs any operation on the device or fails.

Let me know.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] _tyler_:
I didn't see a correct option in the brand menu so it ran through 33 DAs aaaand...nothing but "MTK bootrom mode is inaccessible on this device"

You think it's worth checking for test points? I wish I got a picture of the board when I had one open but I've never used test points before
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] mvikrant97:
Unless we have a correct DA even test point won't do anything.

Is it MT6833 CPU?
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] _tyler_:
Yes Dimensity700/MT6833. Not entirely sure what a DA is but would the 6 Pro DA work?
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] mvikrant97:
I think Octopus tool has it but it's not free.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] luridphantom:
da is the auth required to perform flashing actions with sp flash tool

the funny thing is the 6 and 6x series have exactly the same soc combo but this time wingtech patched out brom and replaced it with some factory mode

hopefully some of these more pro tools like octoplus or chimera can crack it. this will be the last time i get anymore revvls, the new revvl 7s are all qcom based
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] luridphantom:
just got a 6x pro and tested out mtkclient with it

i was able to get into preloader but of course brom is all patched up so i couldnt unlock bl out of the box (0x7024 error)

tried to add the 6x pre-patched preloader through the switch and also didn't work

probably need a da file or definitely another exploit to get it unlocked
[Google Pixel Watch 2] diesteldorf:
Apologies in advance, but I wasn't sure where to post....Mods--feel free to weigh in

Rooting is always a cat and mouse game, and every year, it gets harder and harder to hide root from ALL apps.

I keep telling my self every year that this may be the last phone I'll root, the last bootloader I unlock, but then Edor posts his guide, other developers weigh in, and part of the fun (for me) of having a Pixel is unlocking, rooting, customizing etc....

I already have a FITBIT, and am rarely without my phone, so I have no need for a Pixel Smartwatch, but happily chose a "free" one over the cheaper Pixel Buds. I even paid the extra $50 for LTE, convinced that it would offer increased possibilities/opportunities.

I know that, as certain apps become more sophisticated, it may be harder to hide root, banking apps, corporate email, and even Android Pay, even after installing Magisk, Shamiko, Universal SafetyNet.....some apps can still detect root.

The Pixel Watch 2 has 32 GB internal storage. Is it possible to install any problem apps, banking, corporate email, etc, on my UNROOTED Pixel Watch 2, so that I would always have access? I know it may not work to install them directly from the Play store, but could I sideload them?

My main cell phone is with Tmobile, but I also have accounts with AT&T and Verizon that I utilize for mobile internet options. I could add a smartwatch to those accounts, or to a family members share plan and pay $5-$10 per month.

Ideally, it would nice, when working remotely, or traveling for pleasure to have my smartwatch on AT&T or Verizon to suppliment T-Mobile's coverage.

Is it possible, with the right setup, to use a smartwatch as a mobile hotspot to tether to a phone, laptop, etc?

Lastly, and I know it probably isn't practical, would anyone attempt to root their Pixel Watch 2, just for fun, if Edor, and others post a similar "How to" guide?
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't know the answer to the main question, but I probably wouldn't be the one to post a guide to root the Watch 2.

How to root Google Pixel Watch using Magisk

Google Pixel Watch Root Guide using Magisk Readme Note that this rooting process was performed with a special USB-C cradle provided by the Google Team. I would not recommend flashing the device without a stable connection to the pins under the...

xdaforums.com

This guide, for the Watch 1, would probably work identically for the Watch 2. The question is, does the included charger with USB-C cable handle data (not just charging)? If so, then with people being very careful, and making sure the Watch 2 doesn't come off the 4-pin charging connection while fiddling, then I'm sure people could root it easily.

A better solution than the included charging cradle would be a device like they show in that guide, which is only officially supplied by Google by invite only. I haven't gone Googling to see if anyone has 3D printed such a device and is selling them. I probably don't have enough of a need to root the Watch 2, but I've never owned a smartwatch before, so we'll see.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] erktheerk:
I use WearOS Tools to sideload apps like my work's timesheet app, my self hosted todolist, Saas Facility Management software I shoehorned the client HTML and JS into a PWA actually works better on my watch than my phone. Some others....Authy, Smart Life, Wiz2, FairEmail, Tutanota, Orca Scan, QuickEdit, Outlook Lite, MiX, Nekogram, Experian, Booksy, and my federal credit union app. For packaged apks like apkm need to be unpcked and use admin pwsh or cmd to

"adb pair 1.2.3.4:56789"

"adb connect 1.2.3.4:56789"

"adb install-multi-package 1.apk 2.apk 3.apk..."

I then had ben using scrcpy to have my watch on my PC triggered by a RFID stuck to the charger but with v10 of weartools...it's now a feature.

Oh and I use my watch with microsoft auth to do passwordless two factor log on for my 365 / Azure work accounts.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] simplepinoi177:
I'm getting a PW2 in November, in anticipation of it, can I ask; for all that you've described here, did you need to root your watch to accomplish it?

I had a Fossil Q Explorist Gen 3, and I was able to use adb to install a couple of non-native non-Watch-Play-Store apps and didn't have to have the watch rooted....but since it's been so many years since then, I'm unsure if that is still the case....

Since the screen doesn't rotate like Android tablets, I doubt it has the accelerometer HW. But I am pretty new to Android and would appreciate some insight.

I have a K706 head unit installed in my Jeep and wondered if I could display the roll and pitch angles using my Torque App. On my tablet, I get data displayed. On the head unit I get no data.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alex.The.Lion:
Hi, done all of the usual things to problem solve, even did a full factory reset in an attempt to solve the problem.

S22 Ultra Microphone doesn't work at all, but only for selected apps. I noticed it first when people were no longer able to hear me in COD mobile. Then realised I can't send voice messages in facebook messenger etc, and samsung voice recorder doesn't work. If I record a video the microphone is fine and playback is fine if it's rear camera, but very poor quality on front camera.

Same issue regardless whether or not it's built in mic or bluetooth mic.

When I run the built in diagnostics it comes up with an error for mic 1(can't hear recorded audio) but no issues for mic2.

Is there a way to force my phone to always use the "mic 2" channel? I assume that's what's happening in the apps that have no issues.

Any solutions pleaaaaaaaaase?!?!? Games are way more fun when can annoy my friends on chat lol.

Cheers,

Alex.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
1. Have you checked the microphone permissions?

2. Have you installed any 3rd party app/ Goodlock module that controls the microphone/ sound?

3. Have you revoked permissions for certain apps under Special Access permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] trackingmystuff:
Not only permissions, but you might want to check your firewall. If it's a software problem, you can always reinstall the driver.

Since there aren't any analog outputs on the device there's only need for a really basic dac functionality for the device speakers. Any dac can handle that, the limiting factor are the speakers themselves.
[General Questions and Answers] m1axim9:
Google Plays data safety feature is something I look at a lot and alot of my apps seem to collect information and some don't at all, but the table itself for the app is often not specific enough, for example.. a tycoon game needs my location information.. why? How do they get it? And what am I risking? It sometimes tells you but there's no way of checking if they actually use it like that.. some are honest too, especially location info witch j have no idea how they get if they don't access my location. If Google gives it to them, if I turn off location for the app they no longer get it? Do my settings already stop background data being given to them when I'm not in the app?Alot of great apps and games I have have suspicious data requirements and low download counts and I do not know how they get the data and what I can do to stopgiving apps and games things they do not need. Like another app that monitors it (lol)

I just want to have a more in depth discussion about Google plays data safety..If that makes sense..
[Android Head-Units] Kostisanti:
I bought an android head unit from AliExpress from wondefoo for my bmw x3 e83 which came faulty.

The wiring harness was wrongly connected and the seller was not responding. It had 3 main problems.

1) The display woudn't turn on.

I managed to fix it by soldering the acc wire to a cars 12v ignition wire.

2) The audio wasn't working in aux.

The solution i found was to solder to the correct pins the aux cable on the wiring harness.

3)The reverse camera is not working. It is flickering in black and white.

I have not found a solution to that pronblem and i need help. The camera was working just fine on the old android head unit and the wiring is correct.

I tried different cameras and camera types (ahd/cvbs/ntsc) but no luck.

In the settings i can't find an ntsc option. In the factory settings (8888) there is nothing related to the backup camera.

Please let me know if you have experienced the same issue and if you hace found a solution.

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 6] script_kiddie_42:
Greetings, Android hackers,

I'm trying to write a kernel module that will allow me to control the voltage of specific CPU core(s) with code.

I'm very particular caring about the response time, so I don't want to use the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/* interfaces.

I've read the code in drivers/cpufreq/exynos-acme.c and drivers/soc/google/cal-if/ but still confused. The function ra_set_value looks suspicious, does the kernel change the frequency by wrting a value into some specific registers?

I'm new to this forum, and I've noticed that a lot of people make their custom ROMs for overclocking or power saving, so I'd love to hear your suggestions, thanks!

P.S. FYI I know some basics of linux and I can root, flash, and add simple syscalls/modules into the kernel of my pixel 6 running android 13. Other than that I know nothing about Android lol

Seems like the Pixel 8 Pro is built like a tank. A welcoming change compared to the P7 Pro, which failed many durability tests. This channel will also post the teardown of the P8 Pro probably today, maybe tomorrow.

It's also interesting to note that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra failed these tests, maybe it's because of the curved display. It seems that a flat display has more than just a few advantages.

Ouch, that hurts. Had to pause it a sec.. going back now. Would you need a screen protector after seeing this? Guaranteed the screen protector would crack on these tests and need to be replaced. Are there any videos like this of the P8? Are they the same build material? The P8 forum is deadsville.
