[General Questions and Answers] Poipoii:
Restore is done by flashing .img files created by the tool in fastboot. I haven't tried it yet, but what I'm currently thinking is using :

the Magisk Backup Module I mentioned for boot, system, vendor and persist partitions (idk if last two matter),

this Data Backup Module and its Restore Module counterpart for all data except media,

a straightforward internal storage backup for my media, which is obviously not tied to any specific ROM...

except maybe for the sdcard/Android folder, which I backup and place along ROM-specific data backups.

Takes a little time and patience but it should streamline the whole process of switching back & forth between ROMs for me.

I don't know if I could simply use Swift Backup, but if my method actually works, I guess it should work for any device and ROM.

Thanks for revealing this to me! I really appreciate it! I've been on the hunt for a nandroid-like backup and restore as well! Wasn't aware of this. I hope/wish you luck and hope that you are successful so I might try it with success as well!

Looks promising as I'm on a Pixel myself; which the dev seems to be testing it on...

Sadly the creator passed away in august 2023.

I always get Error 1 (like my smartphone is used) even if I shut it down immediately before running the script. Any advice?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
IF it was easily possible, then ask yourselves, why wouldn't the TWRP project include these scripts. My guess is that the security introduced with Encrypting partitions & RO partitions, has added complexities blocking simple dumps and restores of partitions. The "script" that one poster said worked, may of worked on an older device running the newer A13. And since we dont have the script, others cant test to confirm it.
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
I was about to voice the same sentiment....

the "screenshot" of the supposed .BAT file could easily just be a text output into a cmd terminal; unless we saw it with video action and/or knew what model (supposedly it's Android 13 OS) the device is -- I'd be wary to even test/try it -- what damage might it accidentally do....especially in the "restore" department...
[General Questions and Answers] badabing2003:
dumping partitions is the easy part.

View attachment 6019319

restoring the data partition is the tricky part,

unless I see evidence of that latter, I remain skeptic.
[General Questions and Answers] HippoMan:
I did indeed come across a nandroid backup/restore utility for at least one A13 ROM (the "2.0.3" ROM for the Nothing 2 phone)! It's offered in a custom OrangeFox version:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-12-1-official-orangefox-recovery-project-ofrp.4631141/

I have a Nothing 2 phone I've been playing with, and this OrangeFox nandroid backup/restore utility actually works! ... at least for that phone and that ROM. I think it also works for a later Nothing 2 A13 ROM release, as well.

Given that this is feasible for the Nothing 2 device, this provides some hope that TWRP, OrangeFox, or perhaps something else can actually provide nandroid for other A13 devices and ROMs, as well.

I think the limiting factor is whether anyone has time and resources to actually do the development for other devices.
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Usually TWRP (sorry, first I'm hearing of OrangeFox) catches up eventually, just usually one or two AndroidOS versions late; by the time they would support A12, A13 releases -- by the time they're close to getting to A13, A14 releases and soon after they support A13, and so on...

I wonder what's so different about the Nothing 2 2.0.3 ROM that OrangeFox makes it able to -- most likely it'd all go over my head, but I'm still curious...

But thanks for giving this info! Here's to holding out some hope...!
[General Questions and Answers] HippoMan:
My guess is that there isn't anything significantly different about that ROM itself which would facilitate this recovery module's being written. I just think that the developer had enough time, resources, and motivation to create it.

TWRP, OrangeFox, and any other similar recovery modules require a lot of effort to write.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] DragonFire1024:
I recently totally refurbished a Note 9, inside and out. It was much cheaper and easier to replace the screen by gutting a bricked Note 9 and switching all the internal components from a working one, into the "bricked" one. Well curious minds...anyways what I thought was a totally dead phone, turns out not to be. I was crawling the web, always looking for new goodies for my Note 9 when I came across an image I have been trying to find for a few months; someone photographing and highlighting the test-points on the mainboard. So i reassembled this bricked unit, to an extent, to test whether or not it was actually dead. I disconnected the batter and USB cable. and reconnected the battery. Used a paperclip to "short" the two points. This would, assuming the phone was still alive, would show up in Windows Device manager with a driver error, when you plugged it into your PC while shorting the points. Turns out I was correct.

Other Devices:
QUSB_BULK_CID:0402_SN:E415E04F

I assume this is Qualcomm EDL mode, or something to that extent. Now that I know it's not truly dead, yet, I have not been able to find much to go on. I can't seem to find anyone who had this issue, at least not on a Note 9. Some Pixel phones suffered a similar fate after receiving an OTA. I would love to hear some feedback and see what the next steps might be, if any.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] DragonFire1024:
well I installed the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver for some s***s and giggles, and I didn't even have to do anything aside from shorting it into EDL...the driver installed, found the device. Some of my Qcomm tools like QPST, have come to life. Now I just need some files to flash using them.

[General Questions and Answers] mkaaden:
I am (or at least was) a happy user of 2 Venz Aplay One speakers.

View attachment 5986039

They come with a reasonable sound experience, however the software experience is rather disappointing.

They can play music from Bluetooth, DLNA Wifi or a direct attached USB device. They even have an AUX input.

They also have a 'multi-room' mode in which both speakers are paired over a WiFi connection from which you can choose to have one speaker play the right channel and the other the left channel thus creating a stereo setup.

But this only works when both speakers are in Wifi mode.

It is your typical product from that country which at moment is putting a large amount of electronic devices on the market.

Mostly they are reasonably priced, not to say very cheap, and that is sadly also where proper functionality, quality and support ends.

There is a list of functionality I would like to have:

- the ability the regulate tone and base.

- lower the volume of the voice that shouts: "WIFI MODE" when the speakers are started up or when changing the mode on the speakers

- Some notion of the battery capacity level.

- using multi-room in all the different playback modes.

For some reason the official Chinese VENZ website has disappeared and only some local support hub in Europe seam to exist (it is even in my hometown !)

However, trying to reach out to these guys is a waste of time since they do not respond to any of my hails.

So my idea was to try and build my own firmware and app for these speakers.

To give you an idea: the Android Aplay App latest update is from december 2016 and the firmware on the speakers are dated 2017.

I am totaly not familiar with either building firmware or an app, let alone finding a way to hack into these speakers and put other software on it.

However, I am not new to coding, but those skills haven't been used for decades.

So does anybody has any tips on how to 'get' into the speakers and start to reverse engineer a firmware ?
[Android Head-Units] Malosaa:
Well i have the ums512_1h10_natv

it has an ugly notification bar, a huge with no push notifications showing

however i found an app in the store that would add the stock one back.

there are a lot of these apps, but none of them overwrite the default one.

How can i get rid of the default one and replace it with another?

Even when i download any of these apps they work but the default one still stays.

like super status bar, and many others.

u can swipe it down but the old one still there and blocking the notifications.

the notifications are received in the custom notification apps but getting blocked by the stock notification bar.

i want to complete remove the stock notification bar, any i dea how ?

I have recently found an old samsung S5 neo, optically in a good state but after switching on it boots to Samsung Logo und goes off again.

What is noticable:

1) It can not boot into recovery mode by holding Home + power + volume up button. It showed the same Samsung Logo and went off again.

2) Booting into download mode is possible. At the top of the download mode screen I see the usual vendor information about the phone with the FRP Lock ON.

3) The buttons volume up, volume down, power, Home seem to be working normal.

4) The battery is also ok - tested it on another working S5 neo with no problems.

I flashed the stock firmware via Odin - everything went well and passed. I could see that boot and recovery partitions flashed ok. So the memory card seems to be working fine.

However the phone shows the same problem: turns on only to samsung logo and goes off. Boots normarly into download mode but the recovery can't boot again.

I assume there might be problems with recovery partition but the firmware flashed normally without any error messages.

Maybe somebody encountered a similar case and can give an advice?

Rumor: HTC Touch Diamond has graphics performance issues

December 20, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

Not only HTC is condescending by Twittering arrogant things like "if you're a lucky and own a Touch HD, you just got luckier. There's a hot fix to make your phone even more responsive" - as if releasing a fix that repairs big malfunction was something that users should be thankful for - but it looks like HTC is not addressing graphics performance issues in HTC Touch Diamond too.

While previously we were refusing to publish reports about it, because they were based on some dubious 3rd party programs, this time also results of graphical benchmark software are available and they point out that HTC Touch Pro and HTC Touch Diamond have poor graphics performance:

Commentary: if you need to play high resolution videos and games, maybe HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro are not the best phones for you... After all it would be nice if HTC could address these graphics performance issues by releasing new graphics drivers - as it seems that these phones already have sufficient graphics chips in them - but it looks like it will never happen because HTC Touch Diamond is selling very well and most people are unaware of any issues...

- The model in question is Samsung Galaxy M31 (SM-M315F/DS)

[ I do not hold myself responsible for any errors ]

- TWRP flash guide [ with bootloader already unlocked ]

1. download the Vbmeta and TWRP M31 files [ you must have Odin ]

2. take a USB cable connected to the pc and insert the cable to the phone while holding down the + and - keys simultaneously and you will have entered Downloadmode (confirm if necessary)

3. insert the Vbmeta file to Odin's AP and press START, immediately you have to press the + and - keys simultaneously to re-enter Downloadmode.

4. enter TWRP file on AP and press START, immediately you have to press + and Power keys simultaneously and you will be entered into TWRP. ( you have to press and hold until twrp is displayed )

In my case I could not get into Downloadmode with any key and no usb cable because my phone's c type card was broken if you have such problems check if changing it you can get into Download mode .
