I think you might be right, would you happen to know if any hardware swaps could achieve accessing the files? Again, I am not too well versed in this but could switching out the motherboard work or if it has an internal storage chip?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] joeiy_sai:
It is an internal storage chip and swapping parts won't work, it is stored on the motherboard, I've heard of some people being able to extract data but I've never seen it done in person, only videos. Gonna sound like a noob saying this lol but check Google photos on your laptop or another device bro, hopefully it was backed up there before you proceed to do a factory reset on your device to get it working again
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Arnold Bradley:
I've tried,,, it was successful ,you could use the internet but you must not restart or power off your device

1,Download zeroknox tool

2,Enable usb debugging

3, click on remove kg lock method 4

Your device will reboot..

Once it reboots don't ever restart or power of again

Nb you won't loose your files
[Samsung Galaxy S23] joeiy_sai:
I tried zeroknox before and USB debugging always fails but I'm gonna try it back again right now and I'll let you know if I made any progress 🙏🏽 thank you so much for your reply I appreciate it 💯
[Samsung Galaxy S23] joeiy_sai:
Didn't work, I think the problem for me is I cannot get into settings to enable usb debugging. Hopefully someone can make a way for users like me who's locked out, I think a way through edl mode would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] braycel63:
use octoplus box you can bypass

if you device have december security is not support
[Samsung Galaxy S23] joeiy_sai:
I got November security, I tried octoplus box cracked version a month ago and it didn't work, are you talking about the legit version with the box itself cause no one in my country has that
[Samsung Galaxy S23] srikanth444:
did you try bypass method with alliance? then enabling usb debugging and implement zeroknox?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] joeiy_sai:
If you're talking about alliance shield, it doesn't let me enable developer options to get access to USB debugging.

Patiently waiting for zeroknox to release the new update for Android 14 users
[Samsung Galaxy S23] spnk_251209:
did u try sam fw tool. there is a option to remove knox and kg lock
[Samsung Galaxy S23] srikanth444:
i mean bypass with lycan and splashtop method . using alliance shield QR
[Samsung Galaxy S23] srikanth444:
you can find the tutorial over here once this method is done you will be able to enable usb debugging and continue with zero knox method

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Gayura:
Hello everyone,

I have a problem with an S10+ SM-G975F/DS. Now, I'm in Algeria. Initially, the phone was running on Android 10, the network was fine, but I couldn't install certain apps like Netflix, stating they weren't compatible with this version. I decided to update it via OTA, but encountered another issue: when I checked for updates, it showed registration failed.

I then flashed it with the CSC XEF, downloaded from here: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G975F/XEF/G975FXXSGHWC1 , but now I have no network at all—no service. The SIM card is recognized in the SIM manager, but that's it. When I try to manually select a network, it fails to search.

Now, I'm trying a French SIM, and it's a bit different. It recognizes the operator, but it says "emergency calls only," and I still can't manually search and select an operator. I reflashed it with the CSC TKD (Algeria ?), downloaded from here: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G975F/TKD/G975FXXSGHWC1 , and I face the exact same problems with both DZ and FR SIMs.

Even with Android 12, I can't install Netflix.

All the SIM cards work elsewhere, and I've tried wiping data, reflashing, and restarting. I'm not very knowledgeable in this; perhaps I used the wrong ROM.

P.S.:

- Since I started flashing, the phone displays a warning at startup: "This phone's bootloader is unlocked."

- The IMEI starts with 35.

- Despite a recent XEF flash, the operator software version shows: "SAOMC_SM-G975F_OXM_TKD_12_0008 TKD/TKD,TKD/"

[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Krixlion:
Hi, I've recently got a Motorola Edge 30 Ultra XT2241-2.

Almost instantly after buying it I've unlocked the bootloader and started testing out custom ROMs.

After a while I've decided I'll stick to the stock, unrooted Android so I've flashed the stock firmware and made unfortunately a critical mistake of relocking the bootloader.

I've now ended up with a brick that displays the "No valid system found" error. I can boot to bootloader but since it's locked i cannot really do anything with it.

I can't flash anything without unlocking the bootloader and I can't unlock it without switching OEM Unlocking option in dev settings which I cannot access since the OS won't boot.

It's not the first time I've bricked a phone, although it's a first that this happened when relocking the bootloader.

I suspect it's because I've got the stock firmware from motostockrom.com instead of lenovo rescue tool. Also could be because I was downgrading from A13 to A12.

Since this phone has a Qualcomm CPU I figured it should be possible to flash the bootloader and the firmware using the QFIL tool - that's what saved my previous bricks.

But for that to happen I need to boot the phone to EDL mode and make sure it's available through a COM port.

Usually I would boot a phone into EDL mode by holding both volume buttons for a few seconds and then connect it to PC while still holding the buttons. It usually works regardless of whether the bootloader is locked or not.

But it doesn't work for my Motorola.

If I plug the phone while holding either both volume buttons or just the volume down it boots into fastboot.

If I plug it in while holding volume up or without pressing anything it displays the charging icon for a second, throws the usual OS error and falls into a boot loop.

I've also tried to boot into EDL mode using fastboot commands with little to no effect.

fastboot oem blankflash returns command restricted

fastboot reboot edl returns unknown target

fastboot reboot emergency restarts the phone but it boots straight into usual OS error

Now I've left the device turned on so that the battery dies and then I'll try these methods again.

So any ideas how to boot Motorola Edge 30 Ultra into EDL mode?
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Krixlion:
Oh and btw I've also got my hands on a blankflash for Motorola eqs and got familiar with qboot which as I understand does more or less the same thing as QFIL so I'll be using it instead.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Krixlion:
Progress! I've got an EDL cable and managed to boot the phone in EDL mode.

1. Press and hold the vol+ and vol- buttons

2. Press and hold the button on the EDL cable

3. While holding all the buttons connect the cable to the device

4. Wait for around 5 seconds and release all buttons

Phone should now be visible on the PC as Qualcomm 9008 device

I'm trying to get the blankfile working now but it returns sahara_greet_device()->change_mode()->do_hello()->IO error
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] mvikrant97:
You need the correct Firehose file in order to communicat with the device.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Krixlion:
I've got the blankflash from lolinet. To my understanding this zip should contain everything needed to flash a new bootloader.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Krixlion:
Update:

I managed to blankflash my device.

The solution for the IO error was to unplug and plug the cable while qboot was detecting device. Sounds risky but it worked on a second try.

Once connected the process started and finished in a second. After that my phone successfully booted to fastboot with only one issue:

the bootloader is still locked after blankflash

I've not yet given up and I'll try to use edl.py to enable oem unlocking.

Edit: My PC cannot detect fastboot device anymore. The phone boots to fastboot fine but the PC cannot detect it. Not sure if it's the faulty drivers or if I accidentally damaged my phone.

Edit2: Oh nvm I've reinstalled the drivers and everything is back to normal
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Krixlion:
Well edl.py did not help me. Cannot do anything, probably because I don't have access to the loader used for this phone.

That's about all I could think of so I guess i've ended up with a brick.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] TechX1991:
You're basically going to be stuck attempting to warranty the device
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Krixlion:
So I managed to get the device fixed.

I've requested help from the guy known as Antony (Telegram: @Friend008), he was able to set the bootloader status from FLASHING_LOCKED to OEM_LOCKED which allows to flash stock firmware and unbrick the device. The bootloader remains locked for any modifications such as custom ROM or root but at least it's not a brick.

It cost me 50 USD and it was easily worth it.

If anyone is considering his service I highly recommend it.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Gkamau:
I have a similar problem with Nokia g11. I have never unlocked it's bootloader but keeps displaying "no valid is found " . I cannot access recovery mode. I can only access fastboot mode .is there anything I can do?
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] TheLonelyByte:
@Krixlion can you post photos of the device up and running?
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Krixlion:
I guess I can but why would you need it?
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] anonymous8454:
It's my theory

I think they enable factory mode to do it

It's my theory

I think they enable factory mode to do it , softwares like magic tool n mworker has a option called factory mode enabler. (From past 3-4 months Motorola server are down don't know the reason.)
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] TheLonelyByte:
I think that at least with Motorola, the recovery resides in boot.img or something so unless you manage to restore the boot.img, recovery wont work either.

[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Wilkimi:
How does it work? I have a Motorola Edge 30 fusion in the same condition.

View attachment 6092910
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] TheLonelyByte:
I personally dont trust it. The only fix now is to flash stock rom with a UFS programmer and hopefully boot to the system and unlock bootloader or never mess with it anymore.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Wilkimi:
Where can you get this? I saw searching online that there are some tools that unlock the bootloader. You even mentioned the Mworker tool, but I have no idea if that works.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] TheLonelyByte:
It wasnt me who mentioned Mworker tool. There are some guys with their methods of unlocking but they all require you to send your IMEI and to access yout PC via VNC/RDP. We will never know if it works or not unless we pay for it to see. I'll rather send my Edge 30 Fusion to an qualified technician here in Brazil than paying those guys. By UFS programmer I mean that the technician will have to open the phone, desolder the UFS chip and write the stock rom with a UFS programmer.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] anonymous8454:
There are couple of software like the magic tool, mworker, global unlocker but moto servers are down from past 3 4 months I asked the magic tool guy(maybe distributor) he also don't know when the server will be online, In moto to enable factory mode it's done through server
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] anonymous8454:
See the pic above , a guy told me about someone who do this so you can contact him , don't pay him first ask him to do then pay later

Disclaimer:- They all take payments through bitcoin(binance)
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Wilkimi:
I tried EDl mode, but I can't put it in at all. Whenever I plug in the cable, the device turns to the fastboot screen.

I didn't open the device, I tried to access EDl via the cable
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] anonymous8454:
Edl mode through cable only flashes blankflash file n it does nothing and motorola doesn't have flash(firmware) through edl like Xiaomi and OnePlus...etc, there is only way which I have told you
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Wilkimi:
I finally managed to fix my device. I asked @ozo1ozo for help and he helped me recover my bricked device. I made the mistake of locking the bootloader without checking the OEM unlock option in developer mode first, I didn't know how to recover it, but I trusted @ozo1ozo who helped me recover the device. The process is quick and very well done. Thank you for helping me.

He helped me remotely as long as I had a good internet connection.

[Android TV General] Dougj2024:
Brand new to android TV boxes. My LG TV is fairly new and has apps for the normal streaming services....all of which I am tired of paying for. I was "told" if I were to install a TV box I could use it to find older movies and content for free from around the world. Was I misled? All i find on my recently installed android box is content that is looking for a Netflix account. I recently let my Netflix account lapse. Are there other apps I need to install to achieve what I am looking for or is the android box just replicating what i have on the TV?

Thanks for your knowledge and expertise in advance.

[Touch 3G General] Cowboy X:
Hi. I was looking at the Manilla 2D thread and to be honest I find it somewhat confusing. can anyone tell me the steps to take with my touch 3g to get it working. here are my questions:

1/ What is the install order of the files to get Manilla 2D working? (including bug fixes)

2/ Can Manilla 2D be easily uninstalled?

3/ There is a program I saw mentioned which allows browsing and then choosing of Manilla 2D skins. Does it allow you to use Touch Flo 2D as an option?

4/ Do I have to get a new ROM to do this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[Touch 3G General] SlappyHours:
Why do you post this in the Jade (Touch 3G) forum ?

TouchFlo 2D ( = Manilla 2D) is already installed on the Touch 3G. There is no need to install Manilla.
[Touch 3G General] Cowboy X:
Ok I saw the skins and thought that I needed to install something on top of touch flo 2D. I thought manilla was something different. So therefore all I need to do is install the theme manager and get going with downloading themes.
[Touch 3G General] Cowboy X:
Got it sorted :).

[Android Head-Units] TwilightLoz:
Hi there,

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, couldn’t find a more appropriate forum.

I am a software developer (mainly used Java). I have an idea of creating an app that would display the cars current condition (e.g. fuel level, current mpg etc). I aim to get these details from a Bluetooth ODB adapter. The ODB adapters out there (from what I’ve read) have a standard protocol they use to transmit data so I’m thinking of fetching the details like that. I know there are already apps out, especially the apps that come with a manufacturers odb adapter, but I’d rather create mine for a side project and make it visually better.

My question is that since these adapters use a defined protocol, is it possible for me to fetch the data over Bluetooth to my app? Or is it likely that the data will be encrypted from the adapter itself and only the manufacturers app will be able to decrypt it?

Thank you!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AlexisRdzG01:
Hi. First of all, sorry if I speak on broken English.

As the title says. I'm trying to pull data out of my phone a Galaxy S7 edge.

Quick resume. Another persone deleted all my files from the phone (uninstalling apps and using the "delete" button, the dude dosent know what a factory reset is)

That being said, the data can save my ass from a potential problem I had rn and my first instinct was to disable all internet funti9ns from the phone and turn it off. I had to buy a new phone so the S7 dosent lose the data.

The issue is I need to restore that data and I had no clue. All I been able to save was the data on the SD card but I want to do the same with the internal storage but I'm clueless about how to do it. I been trying to create a copy of the internal memory partition on RAW file and then extract the deleted data with recuva.

I read about root is mandatory and my only fear is that by rooting the phone I lose my only opportunity to recover the data.

I will appreciate if someone can help me with this. As long as I don't lose my data I don't mind rooting the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
Now u know for next time. Always back up important data. XDA isn't the place where people learn to recover deleted files as far as I am aware - I have no experience with that. There may be some apps that you can find that can help you. Careful regarding malware. If u need root then the apps will specify and there are a few tutorials on how to root on this phone's forum. Good luck. I'm not sure if what you want is possible.

Carrier ( non root) P8P is there a way to wipe temp cache? As in recovery I don't see the option. Thanks
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
The option no longer exists in Recovery Mode like in AndroidOS versions past, but there are plenty of "SD" apps that will erase all cache -- I know Samsung has it natively, but it doesn't seem to be in the Google Pixel OS...

Not sure what you are trying to achieve exactly but you can wipe cache on a per app basis, I have never needed more than this on pixel phones back to Pixel XL
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] watkins196:
I bought a DOA Pixel 5 from eBay. To my surprise, when I plugged it into my PC, my PC made a “connect” noise. However, I didn’t see the phone in my Explorer, so I checked Device Manager. After plugging and unplugging it a couple of times, I saw it showed up as “Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008”. After a Google search, I learned that this means the phone is hard-bricked. After more searching, I was directed to this post, but it’s for LG phones. Would a version of this work for the Pixel 5? Or is there another fix? Edit: The screen is black. There are no other signs of life.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
There's no fix, unfortunately, other than replacing the mainboard.

While Qualcomm did engineer the QUSB/QFIL/QLoader mode into their chips to allow low level flashing, the software tool (Qualcomm Product Support Tool / QPST) was never released to the public, and even if it was, you'd still need special files for this particular device. They didn't even provide this for repair centers, since it's cheaper to just provide replacement boards than to train people to use specialised software and license it to those repair shops.

The only way to fix the device is to replace the mainboard.
[Magisk] 8y73:
Hello together.

I have a problem with Magisk. It just write logs until the device is booted, after this it stopped the protocol and there is a message in this field that it's strange that Magisk stopped the logs... (look screenshot)

In the first screenshot you see the last log. Below you can see that the boot is finished. After that it comes the screen with the message in the second screenshot.

Do anyone know what is the problem and why stop Magisk the logs?
