I followed the steps of the last tutorial and have root now, but am still wondering how the last time I tried I was getting random reboots. Should I download the firmware, and patch and flash the init_boot.img now?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocoHans:
Hi guys,

I want to root my device.

I have followed all the steps correctly.

I am at my last step:

In FASTBOOT mode, my device couples and decouples with my comuter every few second. I hear this on the sound on the computer.

(The cable itself work well)

The software on the computer can not connect to the device.

Does anyone have an idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Is this on Windows?

Is the period regular or sporadic?

Have you tried fastboot devices and fastboot getvar product to see if that "holds" it?

You can use my UsbLog.exe (here) to log the times.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocoHans:
Win 10

Yes

It doesnt work. I can open the Software, but i doesnt log anything.

No, should i?

anf thanks for helping...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Then you don't really have a valid device connecting/disconnecting.

(Try plugging or unplugging a keyboard, mouse, flash, whatever and you'll see it.)

So, the question is: what is happening?

Did you load fastboot drivers before?

Is Windows complaining about "device descriptors"?

When you go to Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) is the list of devices constantly changing?

Are there exclamation marks?

You can go to View > Show hidden devices and find your "Jack in the box", even load a driver for it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocoHans:
nope, at first i have to unlock my phone. (but you can give me advice)

no

I use this Software: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

it shows me this:

when you are able to accsess to your device memory (when your phone is in the "normal mode", where use xour phone normaly

see: normal_Poco_usb

when my phone is in the fastboot mode (holding volumeDOWN + power button)

the you can see: fastboot_Poco_usb

your programm log this, when my phone is in normal mode (and i have enabled the access to memory/storage)

see: Normal_UsbLog

When i go to fastboot mode: UsbLog log nothing.

Thanks for answering again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocoHans:
I forgot something:

in fastboot mode, in the program nirsoft USBDeview: (see picture: fastboot_Poco_usb.JPG) the entry remains visible for 2 seconds and then disappears again. this happens periodically at 3 second intervals.

Which means: it connect and disconnects all the time (just only in, when phone is in the fastboot mode)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocoHans:
Idea: I use a 4 pin cable (on the USB-A side), which means: it is a USB 2 cable

Should i use an 9 pin (on the USB-A side) cabel (USB 3) ?

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Teruu:
Probably should have posted this as soon as this happened, but I put this project off because I didn't want to deal with it. I was attempting to install a test build of postmarketOS for my OnePlus 8T, and considering that it wasn't my daily driver I was being reckless. I flashed pmOS onto it using LineageOS's recovery, and it spat out the following:

postmarketOS recovery installer
Symlinking block devices...
Extracting partition table...
Failed. Check /tmp/postmarketos/pmos.log for more info!
ERROR: recovery: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)
Install completed with status 1.
Installation aborted.

I can still boot into recovery and the phone is in fastboot mode, but frankly I have no clue where to go from here since the there is no OS for the phone to boot to. Is there any way I can wipe the partition using ADB or something and try to flash the latest release of Lineage?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Teruu:
Reinstalling Lineage. The installation failed and resulted in the following error code:

[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
So yesterday, I spoke to my mother on a particular topic VERY BRIEFLY. Today, I see videos on my YouTube Home Feed on that very topic. This isn't really the first time this is happening. I noticed something like this couple of other times too recently, but brushed it off thinking it is pure coincidence. I haven't searched for this topic or the person involved in a very long time (several years), yet it showed up all of a sudden out of nowhere.

I don't use any Voice Assistant (Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa, etc.). My phone's microphone permissions are limited to voice/ video calling apps. I don't use any of the 'always listening' mods either.

There was another incident I talked about here.

This is now becoming very concerning.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
What if you used FB, you will feel like your phone is a tracking device 💀

Google basically shows ads and search results based on your current location and location history, as google / Gservices has a lot of perms that you feel that the phone belongs to Google,not you. (Like storage, sensors, GPS, knowing your current health state based on the collected info on Gfit) , Google even track apps that you open and add this to "Activities of the device" in your account. To make you afraid from your phone more, Facebook can do the same i said about google , AND MORE, like tracking websites that you visit (in / out of facebook), they even have "Meta service app" installed on your device's system which makes you so worry !

Also FB behaviour is creepy when the topic talks about ads, if you even look at a paid post for seconds without even reacting to it, FB records that you interacted with that ad so simply it will show lots of ads with the same topic that you saw before.

Gonna tell you something more : FB CAN REACH YOUR MIC WITHOUT SUCH A PERMISSION ! (for fb, it is used for bringing ads based on what topic you were saying)

I have more but i am not free, you can send me a PM so i may tell to you more !
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Welcome to the 21st century and targeted advertising. This is a great reason to use an alternative privacy centric OS such as GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Ad blockers can also block those trackers in addition to custom roms like CalyxOS.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Targeted advertising based on my search history and browsing habits is understandable, and would imply my configurations aren't good enough to stop such tracking. But advertising based on a private conversation is something totally unexpected. My conversation wasn't an online activity, so this is Google doing much more than what it states.
[General Questions and Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
I don't understand what you're wondering about and what your concerns are if you're using anything provided by Google. I haven't checked their terms and privacy declarations for a long time because I refrain from using anything of Google but I remember that any user of Gmail e.g. agrees that Google even read the emails content.

I leave all conclusions to you.
[General Questions and Answers] TopNotch729:
That's google being google for you folks! But in all actuality, there's definitely a chance that it listens to what is going around outside the device. Google has never really been the most private, in fact some people try to avoid using their services. (including myself) and I think that even if you deny access to certain things, It'll still use it anyways.🙄
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Wondering if Android permissions don't apply to some of Google apps. My microphone permissions are limited to video calling apps and recorders, and that too only when the apps are in use (foreground). Yet Google was able to make recommendations to me based on my private conversation, which was really very brief, lasting less than a minute. This is very different to Google reading my emails to provide what they call 'smart suggestions'.

Given all the other details in OP, this is misuse and mistatement of permissions.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
This is exactly what I think is happening. But how does one prove it?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Bro, I was designing a menu for a pizza restaurant ( a project that I was asked to do from my teacher in a zoom meeting), after that I went to browse Facebook, I have FOUND A LOT OF ADS ABOUT PIZZA RESTAURANTS LIKE "Pizza Hut" !

FACEBOOK HAVE EVEN TRACKING WEBSITES THAT TRACKS YOUR WEBSITE HISTORY !

I used "AdGuard" extension for a while, and I spotted a lot of fb tracing websites that have been blocked, there was no tracking posts after the activation of the extension.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
YouTube is increasingly showing me video recommendations that are relevant to me, and these are topics that I'm having conversations on with someone, either on phone or in person. I'm still clueless how. YouTube doesn't have my microphone permissions, nor does Google app. And the handful of apps that do, they are only allowed when the app is being used.

While the recommendations are useful, there is this much larger concern of how they are being recorded without my knowledge. These are not just the topics that I am searching using a browser or app. These are based on verbal communications on phone or in person.

Is it the Android System Intelligence app?
[General Questions and Answers] muppetz:
I didn't faced such of things ever , since I disabled lot of Google apks , permissions , ads , find device , assistant , search and lot many other .

I didn't use FB , only Whatsapp , my browser is Samsung used with 2 adblocks , all Youtube apks are disabled .

I'm obsesed by those tracking characteristics and I think they should pay me for tracking cause a real benefits for them .

I read a few time ago there is a huge scandal about this in EU but nothing happened .

So what , we have time to spent , they have money to spent also under major fees and penalyties .
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
What I'm noticing off late is fairly new to me too. I'm not sure what changed recently.

One of the problems is indeed permissions that are automatically granted to apps, including 3rd party apps. I don't know why an SMS app needs access to camera, microphone, etc. These permissions are automatically granted to the app that you set as default.

Android permissions are a mess. They are scattered in several places, and one has to go through each one to make changes, and these changes may be overridden by the system and you may not know it until very late.

Just discovered this Android System Intelligence app that was granted all the permissions to effectively spy on me. I have turned them off now. Let's see.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Good that I have debloated every telemetry app service and exactly those which belongs to Meta and Google :)
[General Questions and Answers] TopNotch729:
It could be that app, but there's most likely much more hidden files/apps that'r listening in on what users do. I use a BLU vivo XL4 as my secondary phone, and I 100% know that it has spyware called Adups' built in. It's a BLU-wide issue I guess you could say. If you're really REALLY worried, just use kaios!🤣(kidding) maybe when it develops a bit more it'll manage its way into mainstream competition.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Use "Kaspersky End point security", it scans every app in your device, even those which are installed in system

Tbh I have found a lot of system apps that are identified as "Spyware" , luckily that I have debloated them.

(Note : I use ColorOS v5.2)
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Whichever app it is, isn't it supposed to have access to my microphone to be able to listen to what I'm speaking? I was speaking to my CS yesterday and asking her a few questions; later in the day, YouTube was showing me videos related to the very same topics. YouTube has never recommended such videos to me earlier.

One of the reasons I use Netguard to block internet access is so that information collected by apps stay on the device itself. I have checked which apps have access to the microphone, and didn't really find anything new other than the ASI app, apart from some system apps whose permission you can't revoke.

I stay away from random tools on the internet that would debloat my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Is there is an app like NetGuard but uses root ? And what is ASI ?

No, I use an app that is made on GitHub by sunilPaul, from here
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
AFWall+

Android System Intelligence

Requires root. I'm a no-root person.

Just found another app:

Speech recognition and synthesis.

This app doesn't have any permissions on my phone (microphone permission is denied, and it is the only permission it requests), but it is still storing 657 MB data on my phone (plus 130 MB which is the app size), with zero permissions.

What is all this data about?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
It stores TTS-Related things, Like when you convert text to speech, this app does this job, and it stores languages so when you convert a text typed in Spanish (for example), it converts it into Spanish Voice text, etc

But for me I do not use this app, so debloating this app would be a better option so if it is suspicious, at least I get rid of it
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I have never used this app or the feature of language conversion. So 657 MB of language files?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
I guess so, it downloads automatically using WIFI.

But now I guess that this app is suspicious.

I was talking with my mother about studying and books, scrolling on Facebook made me terrified, A lot of posts about studying and stuff like that appeared to me, and what grabbed my attention is that "Suggestions you may like" sentence next to the person who posted the post
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
The app is blocked from accessing internet (because of Netguard), so not sure how it can download stuff.

This is exactly what I described in OP. How did it happen in your debloated phone?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
maybe it is built-in ? This App Is Very Suspicious !

I didn't debloat TTS app, so I guess this is the reason.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
System apps are blocked too by Netguard, unless there is some mechanism by which they can bypass this restriction.

I don't think the data on the device is downloaded stuff, but some processing happening locally. Don't know why such processing happens in the background when the user hasn't requested it.
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
I have tried this app before, but this app cuts the internet in the whole phone - I cannot use internet on any of apps

Having an old phone (android 8.1) makes me lucky 🙂 as I don't have this app installed on my device 😃
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Have you configured it properly? I think you need to go through the Settings once again. You are likely configuring it incorrectly.
