All this is true, but wanted to supplement that rooting does make the stock ROM system updater "System Update" (the one in Settings) not work. I wouldn't say "prevented", more like a side-effect (I think it's not a security thing OEM Google put in if device is rooted, more like patching the init_boot partition causes a glitch/conflict when updating through "System Update"); because all us rooted Pixel users still update monthly, just manually.

To root, you end up learning how you'd update it manually anyways, but there are tools (see PixelFlasher) that will do it for you. It is much MUCH faster doing it manually, if that's at all something you'd seek, as doing a Full Factory image update is around a 2-3 minute update (so around 5 minutes if you flash to both slots) or a Full OTA image update is about 6 minute update (double that if you flash to both slots) -- as opposed to the stock system OTA which I believe can take up to 20-30+ minutes (the one time I did it, it was 30-40+ minutes; but supposedly Google has implemented improvements to make things faster since I did it last year).
[OnePlus 9R] oneparsec:
So recently I installed HSBC UK mobile banking app on my OnePlus 9R with LineageOS 20, Magisk, LSPosed installed.

However, after installation from Play Store, app just crashes at start with no message.

I tried installing it on my 2nd phone (OnePlus Nord N10 5G) which didn't have such an issue.

So, is there any information about this app working or not on custom ROMs and if yes, how to hide potentially unsecure apps from it.

What I've tried:

Zygisk (Magisk hide) with enforced DenyList

Play Integrity Bypass LSPosed module

Changing ro.build.fingerprint using MagiskHide Props Config

HideAppList LSPosed module

Disabling USB debugging and developer settings
[OnePlus 9R] Smudgy63:
The HSBC app seems to just detect lsposed, managed to pass all hide my app list detection checks but HSBC still wouldn't open unless I uninstalled lsposed
[OnePlus 9R] oneparsec:
Oh, thank you so much! It worked.
[OnePlus 9R] Smudgy63:
No worries, as far as I know there is no way to get it working with lsposed installed.... Though I did see a post from the developers acknowledging some apps can detect it just being installed...so it might get fixed at some point
[OnePlus 9R] badaas:
Same here.

Lsposed != HSBC

💩

Anyone figure a fix?
[OnePlus 9R] AliceKirisame:
same with HSBC hk app on xperia 1ii

Lsposed!=HSBC app
[OnePlus 9R] badaas:
Nope, Lsposed getting detected. Hidemyapp doesn't fix.
[OnePlus 9R] TheHumanUser:
As I mentioned, I did try removing LSPosed and that didn't make a difference unfortunately. :(

It used to work just fine with LSPosed installed until very recently, so I think something else is at play... at least for me.
[OnePlus 9R] oneparsec:
I had to uninstall all LSPosed modules, and only after that uninstall LSPosed, so that might a way to solve it
[OnePlus 9R] TheHumanUser:
Thanks @oneparsec, I'll try that!
[OnePlus 9R] TheHumanUser:
Just to give an update, yep that did the trick! I had to completely uninstall the "Hide my Applist" app, then disabling LSPosed did the trick. Disabling/Uninstalling LSPosed on its own (which in theory would disable any of its modules) is not enough.
[OnePlus 9R] oneparsec:
Glad to hear!
[OnePlus 9R] badaas:
New Lsposed out, maybe will fix.

I can't test as I need stable phone for overseas trip..

[OnePlus 9R] Deleted member 12612947:
With latest lsposed, the HSBC app on my phone does not open/crashes. If I remove HMA and lsposed then it opens but with the usual "security issue detected" warning. Were they any other steps required to get root etc hidden from the HSBC app?

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas :p!

I noticed in the just-added Service manual from the wiki that "Lanyard / Strap Hole" is in the list of features. How come? :confused: I thought it was one of the flaws of that marvelous device?
[Touch HD General] Nara-e-Mastana:
I confirm that there is no "Lanyard / Strap Hole" in Touch HD.
[Touch HD General] Lol-x:
I saw the lanyard eyelet in the prototypes (German) on YouTube, and was sadly disappointed when I received my HD it was omitted.

[Touch HD General] dennis333:
Conformed: NO lanyard hole!

A long time ago, when the Blackstone was just on the market, I asked the same question.

In the online manual no lanyard hole was to be seen, while several review movies of the HD showed a lanyard hole left of the usb port.

I'm using an electric wheelchair and using such an expensive phone without any form of 'safety' would be very ill-advised.

After pondering for days I made a tough decision: I asked my dad (he's very good with tools) to make a tiny hole at the corner where the stylus resides. When you first pull the stylus out you can see exactly where you can drill the hole without damaging anything else.

Now I have my lanyard hole, it doesn't stand out at all and the styles can still enter and leave the HD without trouble! :D
[Touch HD General] dinfung:
any picture?
[Touch HD General] kipmast:
Lanyard/Wrist strap for Touch HD!

I was very careful to drill two holes in the stylus silo. The holes have enough clearance for a lanyard strap. I was nervous but it turned out awesome!

:cool:
[Touch HD General] simonbg:

thanks in advance.

[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Got my resepect!
[Touch HD General] antrak:
Yeah same here, takes some courage o.o:eek:
[Touch HD General] kipmast:
Seriously though, I was nervous and did take my time Pre-marking the hole. The main thing was to make it small enough just to fit the string through. The less material I drilled out the stronger it would be in the corner. Also I chose a lanyard with the thinnest string so when the stylus was inserted it did not interfere with the magnetic seat.

(I am afraid this might have been answered, but I couldn't find definitive information)

Hi I set up my phone the way I like it (Pixel5, Android 13) and now I would like to make a full system backup/image that can be restored, if something goes wrong in the future (like a system-harddrive image on a computer). Seems possible with TWRP, but

- TWRP seems to need an unlocked bootloader to install.

- from my research unlocking the bootloader deletes all data on the phone, so the backup would be useless

- it could be possible to root the phone without losing data and then running TWRP, but that puts me at risk of messing up the rooting process (never did before) and loosing the setup anyway.

Did I miss a something, or is there really no less risky posibility of backing up an android phone?

Thanks.

Qualcomm SM7250 Snapdragon 765G 5G (7 nm)
[General Questions and Answers] asdf234123:
Thanks, but I want to save the state that the phone is in after I installed all my apps and tweaked all my settings - that cost me time and brains and I like it that way. Don't want to do it over again in case something goes wrong in the future. Not reset it to factory defaults.

Just like I do with my computer: make a disk image of my operating system harddrive every ferw months. If things break, I just restore the image and am ready to go.
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
Not possible without TWRP, which requires an unlocked bootloader, which will wipe your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
Starting from Android 12 there is a way to fully backup apps with D2D transfer. unfortunately no one has figured out yet how to cheat this and save a backup to cloud or disk.

I recommend to backup your files manually, factory reset and keep bootloader unlocked all the time. TWRP is not the only root solution, you can also use Titanium backup or Migrate backup.

Non-root solutions like Swift backup or Google One can also backup app data, but not every app allow this.

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-fully-backup-device-without-root-before-sending-to-assistance.4566849
[General Questions and Answers] asdf234123:
Thanks.

And would that be possible with locked bootloader? (See fooking rekts answer above)

If so, can I mess up my phone running all these commands, that I would only copy paste because I'm just a regular user and don't understand them ;)?

And if I manage to get that dump-file, how would I restore it?

And could I restore it to another device, that is the same model?

Alltogether it seems, like it might be easier to just risk having to setup the phone a second time, than learning adb and nc and breaking things in the learning process.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
there is no way for nandroid backup on bootloader locked devices. not to confuse with NANDump, a tool to dump mtd partitions (not used in modern smartphones)

also you should revise your post and correct the usage of netcat. the commands as currently written are pointless, nc is not even running.

Google Pixel phones No - eMMC or UFS

Samsung Galaxy phones No - eMMC, UFS or V-NAND

OnePlus phones No - eMMC or UFS

Xiaomi phones No - eMMC or UFS

Huawei phones No - eMMC or UFS

Motorola phones No - eMMC or UFS

No - eMMC or UFS No - eMMC or UFS

LG phones No - eMMC or UFS

(not since 2014)

the only android devices that still use MTD storage are some Rockchip, Allwinner or AMlogic head units and some tv boxes.

in no way one can use nandump on ext4 or f2fs partitions, it's for yaffs/jffs2 and ubifs only.

and in any case - one needs root access to dump partitions (either with unlocking/rooting or with low level flash tool)
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Not being familiar with NANDump, I presumed it was just a case of sloppy language and that it could do whatever.

For the same reason we talk about "ROMs" when the only ROMs are PBLs.

Technically speaking, both eMMC and UFS are NAND internally.

It's just that they both have controllers that hide that fact.

I like keeping a bomb-proof backup, the entire raw flash.

I just dump with EDL (mine, of course).

I've even restored an old one, seen that it was old, then restored the latest.

And yes, this works with NAND too, like my Netgear LM1200.

There's zero guarantee that this will work on a replacement device.

I've seen ambiguous info that device fuse data is used in key generation for userdata encryption.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
And that's the main difference. while they have a FTL Flash-Transition-Layer that handles the wear-leveling, data placement, I/O scheduling, and garbage collection and provides a block partition that can be formatted with common file system types (ext4) - MTD storage has not, it's handled by MTD subsystem. that's where nandump comes in game, it reads the raw flash and puzzle pieces together, because yaffs/ubifs are special file systems for nand flash that work without FTL. for ext4 all you need is dd.

depends on encryption type. for FDE encryption it's possible to restore. but it's always bonded to the own device, not portable.

Ok, so I been looking at the htc titans registry, and the entrys for the gps (hklm/software/htc sup gps). It seems a lot more emmaculate than ours.

Anyway, I noticed that there is a server, so I typed in the server address on my pc, and it ask for credentials (user name password). I believe thats why some of us cant get a fix.

The tilt's gps does work(communicating with satellite and towers), its just not getting the info from the towers/satellite to the phone! I assumed that what it is because I played around with several settings and finally got it to say "seeking position".

So if we can please get this thread going to fix the gps.

I have an ATT Tilt running on tmobile. I have everthing working 100% perfectly.

If you're trying to setup AGPS with t-mobile you'll need to determine if t-mobile has an AGPS server (IP:Port). I've disabled my AGPS since I could never find this information anywhere. T-Mobile clains that the G1 has this feature, but nobody has been able to determine an IP:Port for configuration for AGPS.

Instead, use "SeaGee Quick Position", it's based on the packedEphemeris.ee data download instead of realtime. Read my responses in this thread.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
Yesterday reminded me why I don't use the built-in GPS..

First off, I use a bluetooth GPS with my Tilt because it's faster, more accurate, doesn't use any of the Tilt's battery, and doesn't *continue* to use it even after shutting it down.

I was out geocaching.. I was parked 300 feet from where I knew a cache was, so I didn't need the GPS.. And I knew another cache was about 600 feet from it, away from the car.. So I hit one cache, got about 400 feet towards the next one and went to start homing in on the cache to make sure I was going the right direction and realized I'd left the bluetooth GPS in the car.

So instead of sloshing back to the car, I waited for about 10 minutes for the Tilt's GPS to finally warm up only to be driven crazy by it's slowness and tendency to bounce around making caching impossible. I eventually gave up and went back to the car for the bluetooth GPS.

Then when I got home that night I had about 60% battery.. 4 hours later I went to grab the phone and it was at 5% and was warm. Stupid GPS was still running.

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] nicop91:
Hello all,

just got my hands on a nokia 6.1 (TA-1043) and thought I'd install a LineageOS 20 on it to give it a few years.

I followed carefully the instructions given there https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/PL2/install

But after flashing boot.img using the latest fastboot available (`fastboot flash boot boot.img` with fastboot 34.0.4-10411341), which finishes succesfully ("Writing 'boot_a' - OKAY") I can't seem to boot into a recovery.

The Volume Up + Power trick works, I see the screen flashes in a few different shades of blue, then goes black and nothing displayed on screen.

At this point I see the device listed in `adb devices` as `unauthorized`, and can't seem to do anything with the phone anymore.

Rebooting normally gets stuck on the android one logo and thankfully I can still boot in download mode.

I was able to recover using the method from this post https://xdaforums.com/t/closed-tool...-rom-flash-tool-nokia-6-1-pl2_sprout.4023965/

But now I have an android 10 and any attempt at flashing another recovery ends up the same way.

Could anyone help or give hints on how to move forward? Is there a way to find the older builds of lineageOS and maybe try with boot.img from lineageOS 18 or 19? They seem to date from a time where more people were trying what I'm trying...

Bootloader is unlocked using the techmesto free method, developer tools show "Bootloader already unlocked" under the toggle.

Thank you all!

I recently read about numerous bugs and problems relating to our 7 pro. There are several videos on YouTube and as many comments online where users and reviewers complain about problems such as overheating, sudden shutdowns of devices, problems with the camera, battery drain and others, compared to last year they say they have worsened in many parts. Personally, I've had the phone for about a month so I can't make a comparison to what came out last year, but I must say that I'm not experiencing all these problems... the battery has a completely normal decline after playing for half an hour on cod mobile it is lukewarm and I don't feel any overheating. If I compare it to my previous Lenovo Legion Duel which after playing cod I could cook eggs on it, this is practically cold.

With the camera I have no focusing problems or sudden crashes, it has never turned off once....
