[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonioKi:
Hello, I have a Tecno Spark 8C phone, I recently unlocked the bootloader using this method, now I need to somehow get BOOT.img to install ROOT from Magisk.

The problem is that the latest stock firmware has version v91 "KG5n-F062RU-11.0-RU-V91-20231011", but it is not publicly available.

The only option left is to somehow get BOOT.img from the phone, but I don’t know how to do this, so if it’s possible, please help :(

[Chromebooks] Samarimama:
Hi, I recently installed FydeOS in my PC but there is few bugs I would like to know if people are experiencing them:

1. The PC can't sleep even while touching the on button

2. Adjusting luminosity does nothing

3. The battery icon does not work (When removing the charger the icon is always as if it was charged)

Thanks for any help!
[Chromebooks] nabil2000:
Yes point 1 there are issues with sleep,

I choose to disable sleep in settings.

On my Dell Latitude E5550 & MacBook Air mid 2011 I have no problem adjusting luminosity, etc.

It works almost like a vanilla Chromebook, I haven't checked it yet on PCs (i.e equivalent to Chromebox).

These are just cosmetics issues, maybe sleep is an issue if you want to keep your laptop/PC on...

Which version are you using, the last one is 17.1 as commented on in my thread:

FydeOS 17 Chromebook solution for normal PCs & some ARM laptops - trials & successes.

FydeOS 17 Chromebook solution for normal PCs & some ARM laptops. I posted long ago a solution to get Google Play Store & Linux crostini VM running on Acer Chromebook C720P. It is no longer possible to use that trick I used for PCs but FydeOS...

[Chromebooks] Samarimama:
The latest one, 17.1.

Strangely after booting to FydeOS again, all the three issues are resolved😅. Thanks anyway, your post may help me one day.

I've debloated the TV from the crap it came installed with, but I don't know how to remove it or if it's even possible?

Thanks.
[Android TV General] EllieCat:
Customize it in settings. You can also add new favorite apps.
[Android TV General] PhilipF8_2010:
I have looked into that, but there's no simple option to hide that. :/
[Android TV General] EllieCat:
If you had a previous TV, you should sign into an existing account . Or ask support in the user manual.
[Android TV General] PhilipF8_2010:
Reckon they wouldn't know or if they do they wouldn't tell because it'd actually improve the experience.

Smart TVs come bundled with junk apps people didn't consent to and even has physical buttons for specific apps. I'm thinking maybe it's possible to remap so the YouTube button opens SmartTube, and etc.
[Android TV General] choppadeee:
it is possible i use it. button mapper pro or buttons remapper will remap any key you want

i have also uploaded a shortcut so that you can have the youtube logo on your home screen that opens smarttube to make it look nicer
[Android TV General] PhilipF8_2010:
There's now a tab called "Shop" which is about buying movies and shows... I didn't ask for that.

And, there are ads on the main tab, but at least it can be blocked via ADB (an app that mentions "recommended").

Again, not something I or others wanted.
[Android TV General] choppadeee:
I recommend you use a custom launcher like projectivity launcher which has all the customization options you require
[Android TV General] PhilipF8_2010:
I decided to reset the TV, no Google login, remove the bloatware, disable Google, and now it's much better. Cleaner and nicer.

Seems that the TV update has become disabled too as the option isn't there anymore so that's good considering when it updated it added a dumb "Shop" tab that I didn't want to begin with.
[Android TV General] jhoney12:
Glad I took the plunge and reset the TV—no Google login, removed bloatware, and disabled Google. It's now cleaner and more to my liking. Also, the annoying "Shop" tab is gone after disabling updates. Cheers to a better TV experience! 📺✨
[Android TV General] PhilipF8_2010:
This is how my Smart TV looks like:

Live TV is an "app" so if I disable that then I can't use Live TV or the HDMI ports which is weird having it as an "app."

I've tried removing that Google microphone app/icon and if I keep trying with the Google app files on ADB I'll probably have it hidden, too. As for "Customize channels" I can't find a way to get rid of that.

So much for Smart TVs being better than Basic TVs. 😑 I'll just use my Android TV Box debloated for SmartTube and Kodi (watch shows/movies via USB).

Hope this helped someone in a way. This was my first Smart TV and yeah, not that pleased because of the pre-installed crap.

[Redmi Note 12 4G] heitorf6:
Does anyone know of any ROM that uses Android 14 for tapas?
[General Questions and Answers] LiveTrash:
I wasn't expecting much obviously when I bought my A01, I knew it was going to be a slow device, but it was inexpensive and a perfect device to use for Spotify, Podcasts and Google Maps. I mount it in my work truck and those 3 apps are all I use.

While it still runs fine, I keep getting a low storage warning and I've just noticed it has become a little slower and with continuous app updates, I'm worried I'm going to eventually run out of space entirely.

I quite literally have everything uninstalled that I possibly can. I have offline maps on my SD card and only stream podcasts and music, nothing is downloaded.

I noticed that there's been updates to Android that doesn't allow for the SD card to be used as internal storage anymore, which is understandable, and I have found the topic linked below that talks about rooting the device which seems to be possible now, whereas it wasn't initially.

How could I root my device? (Samsung Galaxy A01) (Well explained)

Any solution for rooting Galaxy A01 ?

xdaforums.com

Does rooting the device allow me to remove bloat and keep the official ROM on the device? I don't want a custom ROM. I would prefer not to root the device because I just don't think I'd be able to do it without bricking the thing... But I'm not opposed to it from any other standpoint because I don't exactly need the device to remain official and get official updates. It's not really at risk of anything since I only use 3 apps.

So my main question is, do I have any other options to gain some storage? I don't need a lot, only about 1GB. Right now I only have 1GB free, and having at least 2GB free would be a little more reassuring.

Are there official apps or methods to clear up some of the bloat this things has? I've already tried the typical things like Files by Google to clear up unwanted files.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Zxalilh:
How about a custom rom? No Google bloat and the OS will take only about 2 ~ 3GB of the phone's storage.

[Google Pixel 6] en11gma:
pretty much like the title says.

i want to stay as close as stock as possible so i can examine everything.

i dont mind if it disables things like play store or whatever as long as i can revert back to original rom with everything working if thats possible.

i been a samsung guy for a long long time and know nothing about the way root works on google device

yes im going to be doing alot of reading in this section of the forums and alot less in sasmungs area.

as long as magisk or w/e the root apps name is dont modify the files too much than i dont mind that but i want everything as close as stock as possible and phone working of course.

any pointers would be great and hello all :)

actually i just bought another one too. it has a non-cracked screen but the digitzer dont work that good.

cheaper than buying a lcd assembly for $140. i got the 1st phone for $90 but it does have a crack. 2nd for for $60 but screen assembly is lifting and says some of the digitzer on screen dont work but no cracks.

hope it will work ok and it was just a bad connection.
[Google Pixel 6] Zxalilh:
Pixel experience and root it. Some of the versions might be rooted but not always. Pixel experience is basically the UI and os of your phone ported.
[Google Pixel 6] Edmontonchef:
Stockish ROMs would be HentaiOS and StatixOS and SuperiorOS. There's plenty of others to choose from, have at er
[Google Pixel 6] en11gma:
cool cool.

ebay seller canceled one of the pixel 6 phones but one with good screen is coming but its locked to verizon so cant root. going to order another one when the money gets put back on my paypal in 3-5 days but the verizon one should be here by saturday so i can at least play around with it.
[Google Pixel 6] nokiplays:
If you want Stock Stock no additional stuff, i'd recommend Phhusson Treble GSIs i know they are GSIs not Custom ROMs but they are pure AOSP
[Google Pixel 6] Zaxx32:
For me with my P6a and P4a before it I went back to stock android with magisk root. If I went custom now it would have to be an A14 based rom...14 is a winner imho.
[Google Pixel 6] en11gma:
ok good info on the suggestions.

now im about ready to order another pixel 6. the one thats supposed to get here soon is ATT locked.

the one im going to order now i want to make sure i get it right.

as long as it says its network unlocked than i can get oem bootloader unlock to work easily?
[Google Pixel 6] en11gma:
so the google pixel 6 oem unlock was canceled and i now have a google pixel 6 pro (non cracked screen) coming tomorrow. this one is carrier locked to ATT but works on that network.

can anyone recommend a paid carrier unlock service? its ok to contact me through messages. i will then research it on google.

will that let me oem unlock then?
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
If that's a Verizon model, you won't be able to unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 6] en11gma:
omg. its not verizon.

its ATT

will i be able to do anything with that?

its a pixel 6 not pro from ATT
[Google Pixel 6] big_edd:
Another option is to just run the stock rom, root it and run the PixelXpert magisk module. You'll get some of the custom rom features without the drama.

I've been using this setup for a couple months now.
[Google Pixel 6] en11gma:
it locked to att the listing says but hes got the MPN (manufacture part number) listed as "GB7N6" which is (T-Mobile).

i did check the imei with a couple sites and it does look like it is ATT. i will know in a couple hours when it gets here.

will i be able to root this phone?

i mean in the listing it says it works with ATT only.

i cant figure that out. is he still paying payments...

why would it only be able to be used with att. if he stopped making payments while it was under contract then no service would work.

has he just not checked oem unlock option and it might be available and he just dont know it?
[Google Pixel 7a] n00bkiddy:
Hello there,

This is my first post here so I'm sorry if I forgot some essential stuff.

I just received a new Google Pixel 7a and I tried to root it. I succeed but as the newbie I am I flashed the wrong ROM and I lost some features once I set it up.

As I'm a student in computer I thought installed the Android 14 dev ROM was an interesting idea so I flashed it with Android Flash Tool with succeed.

So after done all of it but after few hours experimenting it, I have encounter a lot of bugs and I wanna roll back to a public version and then when I try to unlock the bootloader again, the fastboot mode asks me to confirm to unlock the bootloader but when I accept, it stay stuck in "Locked' mode even if it wipes my data at every try.

I tried to looking for if there is a way to enforce unlocking but I didn't.

Does everyone has ever encounter this issue?

If you need more details I will be enjoy to provide it.

Thanks for reading me. I stay on my way to search every clue I'll can find.
[Google Pixel 7a] Zxalilh:
Did you try flashing through fastboot?
[Google Pixel 7a] n00bkiddy:
Yes I tried but as the bootloader is locked, it failed everytime.
[Google Pixel 7a] Zxalilh:
Looks like a bug. I think you have to wait until android 15 comes out.
[Google Pixel 7a] Lughnasadh:
What exact developer rom did you flash?

So when you used Android Flash Tool to flash the "dev ROM", you checked the box to lock the bootloader, I assume? I would try using Android Flash Tool to flash the "public version". As long as you still have OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer Options, you should be able to flash as the tool should unlock the bootloader for you. I would suggest you not tick the "Lock Bootloader" option when doing so. I would also suggest you do tick "Force Flash all Partitions".
[Google Pixel 7a] n00bkiddy:
Thanks for reply. I flashed build AP11.231020.016.A1 so now when I try to flash a ROM (public or dev) AFT failed because when it wants to unlock booloader and I allows it on the phone, screen blinks twice then nothing, it's always in the fastboot mode and bootloader state is still on "locked"... I don't know what to do..
[Google Pixel 7a] Lughnasadh:
Hmm, never heard of that problem before with Android Flash Tool. Do you still have OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer Options?

I would normally suggest to also try different cables/ports (A to C cable with USB 2.0 port seems to work best), but it appears you were once successful using Android Flash Tool with the cables/ports you were using. If OEM Unlocking is indeed enabled, you may want to try different cables/ports anyway.
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
Have you tried in command prompt

fastboot flashing unlock

Also make sure oem unlock is enabled in developer options
[Google Pixel 7a] n00bkiddy:
I will try with another cable/port but what's curious is that OEM unlocking is enabled by default after factory reset.

To resume all I done until here, it's that I updated my device to UQ1A.231205.015 and after that I used magisk to root it with succeed but when I flashed it with magisk's patch I don't why some features weren't available so I thought my ROM was wrong so I tried to flash AP11.231020.016.A1 build with AFT but for sure it wasn't what I expected.

Since this, my system is completely ****ed up. I can't use rescue mode or recovery mode neither. The most amazing is that's not bricked too so I'm a bit lost. Do you know if it's possible to reinstall the entire architecture ? I mean partitions and all the kernel's parts?

By the way, thanks again for help !
[Google Pixel 7a] n00bkiddy:
Up
[Google Pixel 7a] simplepinoi177:
Yes, you can, supposedly by flashing the Full Factory image.

What version of platform-tools are you using? (your issue sounds a lot like when other users speak on using out of date platform-tools)...

If you can still get into Bootloader mode but can't get into Recovery mode, I suggest you try to run the fastboot command to reboot into recovery mode (fastboot reboot recovery -- I imagine fastboot reboot commands is one of the few commands that will work on an supposedly locked bootloader), then you might want to try & consider sideloading a Full OTA and see if that gets you set proper so you can do a Full Factory image flash (whether manually or through Android Flash Tool or Google Pixel Update and Software Repair tool).

i have a similar problem phone stops at smart mobility screen and then reset again and again,hard reset didn't work 4me..
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
Then you could have some serious trouble.

Did you really hard reset your device? Often people are confused about Hard-Reset and Soft-Reset, and what actually the difference is. Which keys did you press?

If a hard reset does not help, there is something wrong on a lower level, maybe the bootloader or spl. You could try to get HardSPL on your device (and then flash another rom), or you should make use of your warranty.
[Touch HD General] alexis_p3300:
i know i have serious trouble.make a hard reset restore manu/ture settings but still the same i will use warranty,phone is 5 days old..
[Touch HD General] rizwan157:
Oh no same problem here but hard reset has resolved the issue pheww. Shouldn't use untested software.
[Touch HD General] Prof. Yaffle:
Which iconbar are you having problems with?

Usually it gets stuck on the Windows Mobile screen if one of the modified files hasn't been re-signed after being modified. I've accidently done this myself a while ago when modifying one for myself and testing it and needed a hard reset. That's why I install any I alter on mine first to test it and also take a screenshot of it installed and working.

Also, if you're installing coloured icon bars you usually have to have sdkcert.cab installed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MtndaleRedneck:
Google made a change to Google Maps in July that's affecting my abilty to route plan with it, something I do on a daily basis. I reverted to an older version of the app but my s22 Ultra just got the Android 14 update and it's not letting me revert far back enough anymore. I'm not able to install the APK version of Maps as its a system app and can't be deleted off the phone. The APK and the Play Store version are conflicting. How can I re-sign an APK so I can install it without it conflicting with the Play Store version?

I'm a total noob when it comes to actual coding.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxalilh:
You can delete system apps through adb(not 100% sure) and you can reinstall an on older version of Google maps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MtndaleRedneck:
My phone isn't rooted. Would I have to root it for that? I'd prefer not messing with system apps and just resigning it if possible. It would also stop the app constantly asking to update in Google Play. I have YouTube Revanced which clearly resigns the apps. Doesn't interfere with the stock youtube app at all.

Welcome to XDA

Upgrades/updates can and do break Samsung's.

I'm still running on Android 9 on my stock N10+. Last factory reset was over 3.5 years ago, zero malware in all that time. Security is simply not an issue unless you do stupid things. Anything from Android 9 and up is reasonably secure.

Less downtime means more playtime.

You can disable OTA updates and Playstore if you're tired of the endless rude surprises. If you can't find a work around you might be able to rollback to 13 if the bootloader wasn't upgraded too.

Personally the only thing that matters to me is that the phone is fulfilling its mission. To that end I leave the firmware alone and spend very little time troubleshooting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MtndaleRedneck:
I'm happy remaining on Android 14. This isn't a Samsung issue. This is a Google issue making a really dump change in Google Maps. It's kind of hard to explain what the change was. But believe me it's something that effects me multiple times per day. I also have another app I'd do the same to if I can figure this out. I really don't want to mess with rooting my phone or remove system apps using ADB. I'm hopeful it's possible to just resign the apk so it doesn't conflict with the official play store version of it.
