[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
That's correct. In Android 11, you can no longer set a default file picker. This is because Google wants to give users more control over how they interact with files. With the old system, if you set a default file picker, any app that wanted to open a file would have to use that picker. This could be limiting, especially if you wanted to use a different picker for different types of files.
[General Questions and Answers] Nawor3565:
That makes sense, but then how do I select *any* file picker? It doesnt give me an option to choose, its as if no file pickers are installed.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Have you removed or uninstalled any kind of system apps?
[General Questions and Answers] Nawor3565:
Not that I can remember. The problem started happening awhile (6+ months) ago, but it wasn't really an issue until now since I'm trying to move to a new phone that doesn't have root. I did try reinstalling the .apk for the built-in File Manager app that I got in the /system/priv-apps folder, but that didn't help.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Could it have possibly started after an update? If so, sometimes, some updates have significant changes that require booting into recovery and wiping the cache partition to remove buggy data from before the update. Have you tried wiping cache during your troubleshooting steps.
[General Questions and Answers] Nawor3565:
That's actually very possible, and I haven't wiped said cache since the last OS update. Ill try to do that soon and post my results

I have a generic android 11 tablet and I wanted to root it. I've been trying to unlock the bootloader for the las couple of days and nothing seems to work. The model of the tablet is a SEBBE S22 (very generic amazon tablet). The OEM Unlock setting is on aswell.

I have tried the following adb commands:

fastboot flashing unlock

it returns the usage tab of the fastboot command

fastboot oem unlock

returns an error FAILED (remote: Unlock bootloader fail.)

I also used

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

to try and see if putting the code that it returns in the previous command helped, it returned this:

(bootloader) Identifier token:

(bootloader) 5332323230323248474d313838303335

(bootloader) 3633

OKAY [ 0.019s]

But putting that code in the previous command did nothing.

I currently don't know what else to do, so I wanted to know if there's a solution to unlocking the bootloader in this case, or if there are other steps that I could take to root the device. Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zSyntex:
You should patch the boot.img with Magisk, the easy way to get root.

Which version of Android is?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Joseevb:
I can do that without unlocking the bootloader? If that's the case, where could I find that boot.img file? Thanks for the quick reply btw!

I used both screens depending on what I was doing. On the go I'd use the front display, but if I had time to sit and lounge I'd unfold it in more relaxed settings. It's definitely got its perks to be able to choose how you want to use it depending on time constraints.

I'd never feel the need to unfold it if I was at the gym, the front display did fine for switching my music or looking something up real quick https://showbox.bio/ https://tutuapp.uno/ .

[OnePlus 9 Pro] yassine2217:
I've successfully configured microG on my OnePlus 9 Pro using the latest ColorOS 13.1 update from July. Through a series of steps, I managed to achieve this:

Update: I conducted a new test completely from the beginning, and here is the proper method you should follow. Disregard any steps that are crossed out.

I undertook a variety of actions, including installing and uninstalling modules in Magisk, debloating Google GMS using ADB app control, and installing the following modules:

a. Installed lsposed support 13.1, since the newest version of lsposed wasn't functional. I utilized version 1.8.6-6968-zygisk-debug from this link: LSPosed-v1.8.6-6968-zygisk-debug.zip.

b. Installed Xspoofsignature, without activating it. I got it from this source: XSpoofSignatures 1.0.0.

c. Install play-integrity-fix for Safetynet

c. Downloaded Google Play Store and renamed the file to Phonesky.apk.

d. Moved the file to the directory /data/adb/.

e. Enabled Xspoofsignature.

f. Downloaded the microG Installer Revived from here: microG_Installer_Revived-t4.zip.

g. Rebooted the phone.

h. Verified signature spoofing using this link: sigspoof.checker. (optional)

i. Checked for the presence of the microG icon (enabled Google settings if needed).

j. Experienced a Google Play crash (resolved by uninstalling the module).

k. Installed the second module from this source: microG_GSync release_v2.8 (installation failed).

l. Installed this module: MinMicroG_releases. After rebooting

As evident from my actions, I embarked on an extensive trial-and-error process, without any specific method leading to success. I attempted numerous steps, including installation, uninstallation, enabling, disabling, and rebooting. Interestingly, after several iterations, the setup eventually functioned. If you possess the necessary expertise, you could proceed with a more informed approach. Alternatively, if you lack the exact knowledge, experimenting akin to my approach might be fruitful. One crucial point to remember is to install the bootloop magisk module as a precautionary measure in case your phone gets stuck in a bootloop.

Update: I conducted a new test completely from the beginning, and here is the proper method you should follow. Disregard any steps that are crossed out.

Is there a way to uninstall app market in color os?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] NeWONEx:
No, you need to be extra precaution when you uninstall/disable system apps in ColorOS as it is more likely to go into bootloop. I did it once and I would never touch it again, I almost lost all my data if my backup files wasn't in widows' trash can.

You should find if the manufacturer website has a bootloader unlock request page. Like motorola
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joseevb:
I don't think there's even a manufacturer page. It's a generic chinese tablet, their only support is a hotmail address that says it's only for warranty purposes.

Someone told me that I can get the boot.img file and then root the tablet, which is my goal. But I don't seem to be able to do so, I've tried entering in recovery mode but to install recovery y need to have the bootloader unlocked and that doesn't seem to be possible. Any ideas? Thanks for the reply
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_phil:
Hey

I got the same device as you and want to root it as well

After

fastboot flashing unlock

I got an confirmation page on the device and could accept it with volume up.

I was now able to dump the devices firmware and then rooted it with Magisk

Have you been able to install any custom firmware for the tablet like Lineage or something like that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denothir:
Hey there guys! I have the same tablet but the OS is terribly slow. Are there some compatible custom roms?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_phil:
Sadly, I dont think so (I could be wrong since Im quite the noobie for Android ^^).

I couldn't find any custom firmware online or any real information on the internet.

All I managed to do was as I mentioned dumping the firmware, but I dont know if one could modify that so easily.

Furthermore have I read that the Mediatek CPU devices are quit troublesome to tinker with, since most sources aren't publicly available.

I dont think thats the OS ^^.

The CPU that is supposedly in there is a Mediatek MT87xx from 2022 but when looking deeper there is acutally an MT6761 in there from 2018. So I think there is the problem...

The only thing you could at the moment is rooting the device and debloating the crap out of it.

I uninstalled most google stuff and now its running "ok" for light workloads.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denothir:
Does debloating work with my device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_phil:
It should work with all devices !?

You just delete a bunch of stuff that eats resources

If you root your tablet you can remove more system apps that you cant uninstall otherwise
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denothir:
Where can I find a specific guide that helps me debloat and root my device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_phil:
For rooting I can recomend Magisk. I can provide you the needed boot.img (if you have exactly that device).

Debloating guides are on the web like sand, just search a bit ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denothir:
I have the same device: SEBBE S22!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_phil:
Oh wait Im dumb dumb :)

You can skip most of the rooting instructions, since I have already patched the boot.img ^^

Here is the patched file you need to flash.

So you have to follow the instructions staring from

For our device you need to use following command when flashing

fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img

But I highly recommend reading the rest of the instructions and generally getting more knowledge on the subject before flashing, since you could brick your device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronm32:
Hey @c_phil I was curious if you have instructions on how to dump the device's firmware?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_phil:
Hey @aaronm32

I returned the device and I dont have a good memory but I found a txt where I wrote down some steps that I followed to dump the firmware I just paste it here, but I have no idea if its comlete.

Mainly I followed the tutorial from this website but I some small tweaks/preperations needed to be done.

Sebbe S22 (Aocwei X700 EAA)

Bootloader Unlock:

1. Enable Developer Options

2. Enable OEM Unlock and USB-Debugging

3. Get ADB and Fastboot working

5. Connect to PC

6. (PC CMD) adb reboot-bootloader

7. (PC CMD) fastboot oem unlock

8. Confirm on device with VOLUME-UP

Dump Firmware:

1. Note: CPU Type is MT6761 and not MT8766B (To verify if you have a different Model run MTK Bypass Tool and get Device Infos)

2. Install MTK Drivers

3. Follow "https://www.techsbyte.com/how-to-extract-your-stock-firmware-from-your-android-device/"

This had no title... but I think that was needed to flash the later modded unsigned boot image. The disable dm-verity was (i think) for lineageos, but I wasnt able to install it so yeah...

1. Download MTK Auth Bypass Tool

2. Connect Device turned on to PC

3. Install MTK Drivers

4. Start MTK Tool

5. Run "Disable Auth"

6. (Optional) Run "Disable Dm-Verity"

If something is unclear I may or may not be able to help but I will try :)

If that all doesnt seem to work I could try to find my old dumped firmware maybe and upload it

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Jonog:
I understand you said no spoon feeding fair enough but on OP8T OOS13, after installing, many apps selected in the profile file to be removed are not removed. A lot of the google ones. Some didnt have the option to debloat them on the profile text file.

Boot animation is still OP one. Just letting yous know :)

If I could get that "log in to oneplus" ugly thing gone from settings it would be great.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] rodken:
Send me screenies of your current xXx folder setup along with the steps that you took to change your bootanimation and I will attempt to mitigate the issue without any promises.

Thanks for the reply.

1) I selected 1 for the first xxxnolimits boot animation. Didnt work.

2) extracted the folder, tried again. Didnt work.

The google apps are stubborn. I selected downgrade to pico level, and selected others to go too. Assistant for example. (they all remained)

Anything appreciated. Do you want the actual profile text file?

EDIT - I tried the old 12.4 xxxnolimits and same result, so i dont think its a YOU thing.

EDIT 2 - Used this from the OP10 thread, and removed pretty much what was needed. Installed xxxnolimits again then.

Still no boot img. Which has me wondering , is it even doing what it says in the profile text file.

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] rodken:
Any changes to the bootanimation will require you to reflash xXx NoLimits [do not simply reboot].

-- The same method might apply to any changes that you make within the profile since you are on OOS 13.

-- Bear in mind that the module is limited in its scope since development has ceased.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Jonog:
Thanks. Yes I reflashed both times.

The standard boot animation zip from the rom was in that folder 1st time.

Then I extracted the contents of the zip and tried again.

Are you saying make a new zip and try "3".

Im not overly worried now as good a lot off it with hard debloat but boot animation would be nice :)
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] rodken:
Affirmative.

Download the attached file > select option 3 > insert the file > rename the file to bootanimation.zip > reflash xXx.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Jonog:
Cool. Will report back in a few hours. Thanks
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Jonog:
So the zip, in the xxx folder, only contains one, what looks (compared to a downloaded and extracted boot animation zip attached below) incomplete, contents for the original xxxnomlimits boot animation.

I downloaded a totally separate boot animation zip, and that installs and works fine when installed as a zip through magisk.

The original xxxnolimits boot animiation zip wont install this ways. Says error unzipping in magisk.

Same when taken from the xxxnolimits folder from a different phone.

I have not yet tried the downloaded boot animation zip, in the xxx folder as afraid reflashing will mess with my hard degoogling, but either way original xxx boot animation zip "Seems" incomplete?

I am happy to install them as seperate zips, if I can download them. Original and porsche one :)

Thanks so much.

Edit - found two xxxnolimit boot animation zips, downloaded, tried, said installed but it went back to oneplus. The mclaren one works, but must be a different/new format for android 13?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] rodken:
Error Unzipping usually means that the zip file was packaged incorrectly.

-- Unzip the file, you'll get a folder

-- Select all files/folders

-- Zip the selected contents into a new zip file

-- Move that zip to device and try again.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] rodken:
The OnePlus 8 requires that images are pushed to display at 1920x2400.

The OnePlus 8 device has to be at 1920x2400 in the desc.txt. Example: for most ROMs, 1080x576 frames could be displayed as the same through the desc.txt first line (1080 576 30); OOS requires that you overlay smaller images atop expanded backgrounds to keep the same ratio (so the images don't appear stretched).

1. Frame sizes. I've found that images greater than 720x1280 pixels (vertical) or 1080x768 (horizontal) tend to quickly lockup many devices.. Some devices can handle more, some can't. Some animations have been scaled to 720x1280,; the files are then scaled to 1080x1920 via the desc.txt.

2. Frame count. I've found that on fully-looped folders ("p 0 0 part0"), exceeding 99 frames can cause lockups. With non-looping folders, it's 199 frames. Some animations can get away with more frames (with tiny images), but with full 720x1280 frames, 99 is usually max.

If you're ambitious, you can try to build yourself. If the command-line worries you, you can always try another tool.
