if anyone have this device "ZQ01F v2.1 2022.09.09, with chip RK3128A, as working or even hang on logo. please please backup your bootloader using this tool

https://www.mediafire.com/file/4uq6l8y0fq9hady/rkDumper_1121.7z/file

extract this to your directory.

then boot your device on loader mode

double click the "dump.cmd"

then check if there are 2 to 4 files inside /output/idb/, zip those output folder including files. then upload it somewhere and comment the link here. I badly needed this bootloader, I hope someone has heart to backup and share a bootloader here. thank you so much!

PS: I ask the bootloader because you cannot find any bootloader on the internet with compatible to this chip rk3128a, if you accidentally replace your bootloader, sorry to say. but your device become maskrom mode. you cannot boot it to normal mode until somebody dump his bootloader from his working device. this rk3128a is different from rk3128 so do not flash your device with rk3128 single image. or else your device will hard brick.

[Huawei Watch 2] treff89:
Hi all,

Has anyone managed to get Assistant working on HW2?

I've tried Assistant Go, the 2.8.0 version that works on other Wear OS 2 watches fails due to an error setting screen orientation. I tried modifying the manifest.xml but it fails signature verification with Google.

I also tried modifying the SDK version to 28 in build.prop, but then the whole system has loads of errors and essentially can't do anything other than display the time.

Any workarounds been discovered?

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9.0 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ap_test:
I've loaded this a few times, and I get an error ("There’s a problem with your device..."), the OS is a bit sluggish, Google Play is highly unstable, and the Bluetooth doesn't work.

I attribute some of those issues to a poor gapps choice (open-gapps-arm-9.0-[nano and pico]-20220215.zip).

Is there a proven gapps loader?

Is there anything to look into for the bluetooth?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mr.lfrl990:
The error "There's problem with your device" just appears at the first boot, really it does nothing but I understand that it can be annoying. I'll eventually start dealing with that too, but right now I'm on SELinux policies.

The sluggish OS is expected because we have just 1GB of RAM and Snapdragon 212, but I'm seeing the way to make this more smooth as far as possible.

Google Play Services are very heavy, especially with only 1GB of RAM. It would be more recommended to use MicroG.

It seems to me that the bluetooth works properly in the last build since I made tests with the hardware, but I will take a look again as soon as possible. A new release of the rom is likely this month.

Thank you for your time to test the ROM, and for your comments.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vilhelm.nova:
Hello, I've just installed this custom rom, i used to use cyanogen mod back in the day, awesome to see the lineage of it! Thanks for helping us all with this, kudos. I'm wondering if there will be any work done on this? a couple of things i've noticed is bluetooth isn't working and if this will be patched at any point as it worked on previous versions (i'm assuming 14.1?)

I've noticed it is a bit snappier than stock - my tablet has 2gb ram. a couple of things i wanted to ask you as well, was about whats the best resource for apps that you can recommend? what version of gapps or microg or if they should be avoided due to bloat.

Also if i ever wanted to go back to stock how would one go about doing that?

Thank you for your time - installing was a breeze. If anyone needs help installing then i can probably create a guide if needed.

Thanks again

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Redspider_Salamanca:
Good afternoon,

First of all, I want to thank the creator of this version of Android for the Lenovo TB-X103F tablet.

I have to say that I have installed it without problems on that tablet, which belongs to my wife's sister.

The original system was busy with 14 GB. It was very slow. The worst I've ever seen.

I haven't been able to test it properly yet. I don't know if bluetooth works.

What I can say is that it takes just 1 minute to turn on. Before, much more.

The error described, yes, it is somewhat annoying but the most important thing is that it works well and better than before, although if it were possible to eliminate the error, it would be fantastic.

It would be great to see some updates.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Redspider_Salamanca:
I didn't say in the previous message that I also installed the GAPPS 7 PICO. I don't know what the reason is but the tablet, when in settings, works more or less well but it is almost impossible to download an application since the Play Store is very slow and sometimes reports an error warning that it is going to close. I think I'm going to reformat the tablet and not put GAPPS on it and install the MicroG applications and put the Aurora Store. There aren't many recent alternatives. The previous Lineage is 14.1 and is based on android 7, I believe. Having android 9 is tempting. And other custom roms also seem to be based on Android 7. What I do confirm is that Bluetooth DOES NOT WORK FOR ME.

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] ArDRaFi50302:
After countless attempts and following various guides provided by amazing individuals, along with the help of other incredible people, I have successfully managed to fix my Redmi Note 9 merlin from a hard-bricked state. However, my troubles didn't end there. I encountered numerous problems while trying to install the Pixel Experience ROM for merlinx.

One issue I faced was that after installing TWRP, I could access it directly from fastboot mode for the first time. However, upon rebooting, I was unable to access it again, which was quite frustrating. To work around this, I kinda transferred the Pixel zip file to the internal storage. I then installed TWRP and booted directly into it, installing the ROM on the first boot. But now, I find myself unable to boot into anything. It appears to be stuck in a loop, endlessly displaying the Redmi logo. On the bright side, I can still access the fastboot section.

I would greatly appreciate any kind of assistance you can provide. Thank you in advance for your help!.

oh and the TWRP recovery system can be accessed! SO if possible i would like to install a custom ROM directly if possible without again installing the stock ROM.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] vagelis199:
download mi-flash and an official fastboot image, then flash it using the mi-flash app while your device is on fastboot.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] ArDRaFi50302:
ive already fixed it bro, but thanks for replying
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Zestar:
nobody ever write how they fixed their phones, in revenge for not getting help or i don't know why, but I fixed mine with the same problem, just had to be very fast and precise pressing buttons, I used:

bypass_utility-1.4.1 to bypass auth

SP Flash tool to flash stock

VCOM Drivers to be able to detect the phone.

Usbdview to check if the driver was installed or uninstall reinstall drivers.

LibUSB to convert the usb to com port.

1. Start bypass_utility it will wait for phone.

2. with the phone off press vol + and - then connect usb, OR if in infinite loop pressing vol- and power, will suffice.

3. immediately after bypass utility detects and finish patching open SP Flash tool

4. flash the stock room.

5. reboot.

if bypass utility fail, disconnect and reconnect the phone It will wake up and enter infinite boot again try to press vol- and power again until the utility patch it.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] aries.1482:
Hi, can u tell me how to fix that, I get error like u, boot loop at redmi logo but can enter fastboot. I used miflash to flash stock room, but can't fix.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] android_is_a_mess:
Im having exact issue, followed top guides in this forum. All getting flashed entering fastboot.

Tried multiple combinations of since A11 till 13 all stock. flashed using miflash/sp flash and unlock using mtkclient, fixed dm verify error and system has been damaged error, tried multiple cables/ports.

No matter what i do it wont enter recovery mode or normal. Overnight it happended.

Only rememberable thing I did updated google security update to latest.

and i dont think battery is a issue, mostly its lite use. Still running in fast boot if i left open in full brightness.

So incase anything i missed let me know, not giving up my hard earned money.

FYI: This device supports Ubuntu touch but needs recovery mode. This thing wont even let me flash ubuntu
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devolix:
Heyho,

I have no access to my SIM-Card I used for creating account for WhatsApp.

Now I actually wanted to reinstall the app after I flashed a new system image on, but I forgot its asking for SMS-Verfication.

Good that I made a backup of my old system before, so flashed it back, but now I search a way to just backup WhatsApp login data.

Device is rooted, so there should be a way? Need to go any deeper folders, what exactly?

A lot of thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
Utilize a root explorer and navigate to: /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/

Locate the file named "msgstore.db". This file contains your WhatsApp chat history and login data and back it up to a easy location on your PC.

When the time comes to restore, locate the "msgstore.db" file you backed up earlier and select it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devolix:
I did backup me the msgstore.db and also whole com.whatsapp folder. How to restore it now?

Root explorer (I took Total Commander) don't let me copy back to that location. And WhatsApp does not asking me for restore (as far as I know the question comes after the SMS verification). Another tool said since Android 11 it limits the access to that folder.. but I mean.. its rooted = full-root-rights, so why it simply does not doing it?

I tried MyPhoneExplorer but same.. it not even shows the content of it. I don't get it. Are there options to simply mount the system partition on external host system will full read/write permissions like a storage on linux?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
Since you are rooted:

Try exploring alternatives to Total Commander like ES File Explorer or X-plore File Manager.

You can try to mount the system partition as read-write, type the following command:

adb remount

At this stage, you should be able to remount the system partition as read-write, allowing you to make changes to the system files.

Remember to unmount the system partition to default state when you're done using it:

adb shell su
mount -o ro,remount /system
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devolix:
Sorry for late answer... its a nightmare.. I tried several now:

- Total commander does not let me copy back folders into data/data (with root)

- X-Plore File Manager let me copy back but when exit the app its undone (with root)

- adb remount, just shows me internal storage (but not system) and external sd card.

Then I found this:

How can I access my Android Internal Storage (data/data) from the pc?

Not the SD Card that downloads, folders, gallery, etc. goes to. I mean the data/data internal memory of the Android device, where game saves, factory apps, etc. goes to. As much as I'd love to roo...

android.stackexchange.com

but same here... backup the folder result in a few bytes size file. Useless.

backup whole like "backup all", results in 17mb (WA folder is already 50mb), so same useless.

I dont get why its so hard to simply have a normal explorer view of it like in linux. Every **** app is allowed to store their stuff in data/data, you easily can get malware, but normal user is not even allowed to make a backup from this?!

I checked some stuff in TWRP bootloader, there you also have an explorer... funny enough is has no root access.

Ive option for adb sideload, but no idea whats different from normal mode...

So much different ways to access the phone for any support/security stuff...

But yea.. Google Play Store hosting several millions malware apps. GG Google!

idk what to do any more.. I hate WhatsApp either.. every single Messenger on earth has proper login data like email, passwort, but nope, WhatsApp use senselss SIM-Card verification. Why is that?!

but family is only using it, so have no choice.....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devolix:
Ahw.. good news. I glad I found something now and can highly recommending it: App Swift Backup

Swift Backup - Apps on Google Play

A simple, fast and smart backup solution for Android smartphones

play.google.com

Id does exactly what I wanted, and even more. Very good UI, perfection App. Love it. (y)

Anyway, thanks for help, I appreciate. Maybe some other with similar issues finding it.

I hope people keep stuff like this alive.. TWRP, Aurora, Magisk, Swift Backup, without I would be so lost.

Best regards
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] yothisisyo:
Hi,

Sorry for such basic post. But i have a poco x3 pro with Arrow OS 11 running and fine. It does not have any custom recovery installed that's why in built OTA does not work too. Now , if i want to install a Android 13 custom ROM , should i first flash MIUI upgrade it with all the OTAs then install a Android 13 ROM ? What is the best way to do this and avoid bricking ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] khusika:
It's better to do a factory reset if you do a major version upgrade. After that just flash required firmware and then flash the rom on top of it.

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 has matured enough that it has become one full fledged solution to get Chrome OS on a PC, it is fully operational & does not need any hack or mods.

Latest version of FydeOS is 17 & they now allow even the use of Google accounts for login, though I discourage that.

I might write a report on this in a separate thread using Dell Latitude E5550 laptop.

Incidentally I managed to get Mac OS X Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra & El-Capitan to run on it.

As for Acer Chromebook C720P it can only be used with hacking ArnoldtheBat r55, with cyan of Acer Chromebook R11, latest cyan image is 103 I think, but kernel is stuck at 3.18.

Using the trick with latest cyan image 103 loses Play Store & Crostini Linux on Acer C720P.

However you get everything with fydeOS 17 not only on Acer CB C720P but on most Laptops, PCs & even some ARM laptops.

Link for x86_64 PCs/Laptops:

Side note (maybe to elaborate on later):

I found that for installing Linux with crouton, the best release is Debian bullseye, it yields the best graphics rendering, it might be owing to Chrome OS uses Debian bullseye as crostini penguin virtual machines.

Ubuntu gives extremely poor graphics in fydeOS 17 (Chrome OS clone).

So I will be using Debian bullseye with crouton within fydeOS.

Note: this is a placeholder analyzing FydeOS 17+ usage on devices I own such as:

Dell Latitude E5550

Apple Macbook Air mid-2011

Acer Iconia W700

Acer CB C720P...

...

from this entry

Chromebook Acer C720P getting Google Play Store with Chrome OS 65+ recovery from USB.

It is possible to get Google Play Store perfectly running on Acer CB C720P, off the USB 3.0 port using a USB 3.0 bootable stick with the recovery rom for Acer Chromebook R11 - it needs adjustments, & a version of Chromium OS above 55 like...

xdaforums.com
[Chromebooks] nabil2000:
Some notes:

You don't need crouton to run Linux apps & communicate to & fro with the Chrome OS environment & also access SMB shares through them.

SMB 1.0 is not supported but some Android apps can give access to SMB 1.0 shares.

Only reason I used crouton is to have a full fledged Linux GUI.

As I said Debian bullseye is the best, however one needs a lot of RAM to run videos through crouton, 4GB is the bare minimum.

My Acer CB C720P has 2GB RAM & struggles, lags, there is a version of C720P that has 4GB RAM so will fare better.

Again Acer CB C720p is now obsolete but it can be used to boot Arch Linux successfully & even Windows 10.

TBC...
[Chromebooks] nabil2000:
FydeOS has been updated to 17.1 -

works great on SSD through eSATA on a docking station through Thunderbolt 2.0 on Macbook Air mid 2011.

Important note

FydeOS now does not need any hack to work, there are three options for installation:

- local account where you just give a username (so no email given)

- fydeOS account with a username you register on the fydeOS forum

- Google account with Google email password.

Also in all three above options you get penguin crostini Linux VM running Debian Bullseye (RAM resources permitting, i.e. at the very least 4GB RAM).

All these options give access to using Android apps which can be made fully PlayStore compliant by installing the in progress application (still in beta but fully working) GApps from the fydeOS Store,

then with a Google account login this makes it a full blown Chromebook, so no longer need to buy an extra laptop just for using a Chromebook, one can make any most PCs / Laptops into a Chromebox/Chromebook,

which is what I do with installing fydeOS to SSDs.

Please note: installing to USB sticks does not work as it wants to be installed to a USB device that identifies as a hard disk. (one way around it is to clone a SSD to a USB stick, but it won't automatically update).

Yes it can also automatically update like in vanilla Chromebooks.
