[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] PowerFelix:
By updating my Huawei Mate 20 pro to 12.0.0.170(C432E3R1P2), I had to do a factory reset to recover, s. thread:

Huawei mate 20 pro , updating and recover troubles

Hi, I did not find a discussion with exact the same issue, so maybe I could be helped out, I hope. My phone started booting in boot - modus all the time again. I don't like to do a factory reset for not loosing all my info in my download folder...

xdaforums.com

Since I did not back up my data to PC before update, I might have lost all data after the reset.

I am hoping to disk copy the internal disk of my phone, using command like dd, and then try to recover some data from the disk image using e.g. testdisk.

I did a try with adb, but could not mount the internal disk in order to copy the disk image. I can access the visible files through gvfs-mtp

Anybody has an idea or a way to copy the internal disk image?

Thx in advance
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Oh, that's not good.

Android encrypts userdata using keys that are not readily accessible outside of the Trusted Execution Environment (or equivalent).

Since you did a factory reset, those keys are gone.

You're probably saying that I don't know much about Android encryption. You're right.

I've never had to know or care. I backup.

Sorry.

I'd welcome any contradiction from someone on this.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] PowerFelix:
Thanks Renate. However, the following article

Rescue Your Data: How to Conduct Android Data Recovery Using Linux

Don't let data loss ruin your day. Discover here how to perform Android data recovery using Linux. Our comprehensive guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, including the recommended tools.

recoverit.wondershare.com

suggests that the dump could be used to restore some files using adb

/adb shell su -c "cat /dev/block/mmcblk0" | pv > mmcblk0.raw

With my phone, I see only a gvfs-mtp device but no block device is mounted.

Do you / does anyone know how to access the internal disk of my Mate 20o Pro as a block device to dump an image?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
That product recovers lost files if you lost the GPT or the file system.

That uses heuristics to figure out where the files are.

I've done that myself, searching raw blocks for the start of JPEGs or Excel files.

But your device is Android 9 which most definitely has user data encryption on by default.

Yes, you can copy your entire raw flash over ADB if you are rooted.

I don't know Kirin SoCs, but with Qualcomm and EDL (Firehose) you can read the raw flash too.

In the worst case, somebody can unsolder your eMMC or UFS and just read it out too.

So, I did this:

C:\>adb shell
# dd if=/dev/block/by-name/userdata of=/sdcard/raw count=524288
^D
C:\>adb pull sdcard/raw

Now I have a 256 MB chunk of my secret user data.

I put it through a histogram viewer and every bit of it looks like the top.

A normal file (or partition) has some interesting parts like the bottom.

Sure, JPEGs, PNGs and compressed files should look like random data.

But in 256 MB something should have patterns to it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] PowerFelix:
Thanks Renate for your ideas.

Just a piece of additional information: after the factory reset, my phone shows EMUI 12, that is, it was indeed updated to Andriod 11.

it seems that I will have to root the phone in order to dump the internal disk, and still have the uncertainty if the user data of the mate 20 pro is encrypted.

So I guess I will stop further trying, until somebody knows a simper approach to recover some files after a factory reset.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
You do realize that every second that you use your phone it is writing over more of the flash?

That would really only make a difference if all the data were not lost already.

Hi. I just found a custom ROM for our device. It's called LibreMobile OS. I've been testing it for 2 days ans so far I've found no bugs. For example, unlike in crdroid, phone calls and video chats work alright on WhatsApp. He's a link:

LibreMobileOS Downloads

get.libremobileos.com
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SigmundDroid:
Dunno, website takes forever, seems kind of broken...

https://www.libremobileos.com/lmodroid

And the only two persons are from Iran:

https://github.com/LMODroid-Devices

Also your first post, altogether a bit too vague for me, not sure what to think about this :unsure:

PS: Don't get me wrong, not xenophobic (really looking forward to Nowruz!), just a bit cautious...
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Jakub Limko:
No offence. Actually, I'm not from Iran. Yes, it's rather strange since I could access the site with no problems yesterday, and today it seems to be broken. I could post a link to the ROM but I'm not sure whether it's actually permissible.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SigmundDroid:
Nothing wrong with Iran/Persia, not all all. (food is awesome, people are nice and they have the guts to stand up against their crazy mullahs)

For me it seems the other way around today :D

Anyway, didn't find anything else about the project. Did you? Any reviews or something?

Current Android Version: 11

Objectives:

Flash the original stock android firmware (Android 9.0) back onto the phone.

With phone on Download Mode: I have tried most versions of ODIN, and a couple A30 firmware from different respected sites. I've tried different USB ports on my laptop, and different cables. None worked. Some versions get stuck on "<ID:0/007> NAND Write Start!!", some just say "failed". The green progess bar on the top left never showed any progess in all instances.

If anyone knows a working method on how to flash the Samsung A30, please share it with me. I need to downgrade so that I can give the phone to someone who desperately needs a new phone. Thank you for your time. XXI.

Hello. I accidentally installed the ocdt.img from RMX3820 on my RMX3823. (I wanted to install the fake global ROM from one site, but it was for RMX3820 even though it was called RMX3823)

Because of the flashing from RMX3823 to RMX3820, the phone is charging very slowly, and because the phone thinks it's an RMX3820, there's no way I can flash it to RMX3823 without the right ocdt.img. Can someone please provide an ocdt.img dump of RMX3823?

LineageOS doesn't include Digital Wellbeing, I was looking for it because I need the Focus Mode feature. Can't download from Play Store as it says not compatible with device, but I found the same latest version at ApkPure which installed fine. However it's missing the Focus Mode tool. Has Google removed it or is it avalable in another version, does anyone know?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] Egon77:
It's still available on Google, look here:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TuanHaxor:
I just tried "Support patch for InApp and LVL emulation" for an app using Lucky Patcher, but I got an error like this

I've tried changing the java-root method, the error doesn't appear, but the payment is still redirected to Google Play instead of Lucky Patcher, and I've also allowed the PiP option for LP, but this doesn't seem to be the case, I tried running logcat and this is the result:

I tried to look at the contents of the /data/dalvik-cache directory and there was nothing in it, absolutely nothing, not a single file or folder, the same goes for the /data/cache directory.

I use Magisk and LSPosed Framework.

I have changed the /cache partition from EXT4 to F2FS, but this is clearly not the main cause, because there were no problems with the /cache directory even after I changed it to F2FS, even when I tried to restore /cache to EXT4, nothing happens, and /data/dalvik-cache still empty.

How to solve it?

And made dalvik-cache work again

Why not a Bluetooth "clicker"?

The S pen I already have. I dont want to buy another accessory unless I have no choice.

I can't imagine making an air gesture to flip a page.

Also, Bluetooth accessories are under $5. Even under $1.

Ideally id like to use the botton on the S pen to turn pages. Similar to how the comic book program cddisplayex does it
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Renate:
Well, what does the button actually do?

Use UsbMode.apk in my sig to see what it's generating.

If Moon+ has key configuration maybe you can config for that.

If not you could patch Moon+.

You could map it with /system/etc/kaylayout but that will affect all apps.

It doesn't show. The program doesn't seem to be working on my tab s8 ultra. It tells me it was made for an older version of android. It installs but none of the side buttons do anything

I just keep the version open to work with everything.

One of them is a signature file to verify the hash of the downloaded file. If you click on that info button on right, you can get the full name and size of the file. If the file you're viewing is too small, then it's not the actual file to download.

[Asus Zenfone 9] aesara:
From @Dev4Mod's post on unlocking the ROG Phone 6 bootloader, and @blackbile's post on finding the swVer

DISCLAIMER: I WAS NEVER, HAVE NEVER BEEN, AND WILL NEVER BE RESPONSIBLE OF ANY DAMAGES AGAINST YOUR DEVICES BY YOUR OWN MIS-OPERATIONS

WARNING: THIS PROCEDURE WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE

Notices​

ROM versions 33.0804.2060.189 and higher will need to be downgraded prior to installation.

This procedure appears to work with any phone that uses the Asus Unlock App. Please feel free to steal this guide for other device forums..

Prerequisite software:​

mitmproxy

SDK Platform tools

Asus Unlock tool

Procedure:​

Connect your phone with ADB and run adb shell getprop

We're looking for two values: ro.vendor.build.fota.version, and ro.vendor.product.carrier

e.g. for me, these values are:

[ro.vendor.build.fota.version]: [

WW

_

AI2202-WW

_

user_

33.

0804.2060.142

-user-2023XXXX]

[ro.vendor.product.carrier]: [

ASUS-ASUS

_

AI2202-WW

]

Pay attention to those colours, we need to use those patterns alongside

ANDROIDVERNUM

(e.g.

12

or

13

) to create the following string:

ANDROIDVERNUM

..

WW_AI2202-WW_user_

9999999..999999.

0804.2060.142

..

ASUS-ASUS_AI2202-WW

In the mitmproxy folder create a file called

unlock.py

, replacing

YOURSWVER

with the string we just created.

from mitmproxy import http
def request(flow):
if flow.request.host == "dm.asus.com":
if "dm.asus.com/unlock/register" in flow.request.url:
flow.request.urlencoded_form["apkVersion"] = "2.0"
flow.request.urlencoded_form["swVer"] = "YOURSWVER"

Start mitmproxy

mitmproxy -s unlock.py

If port 8080 on your device with mitmproxy installed is closed, then open it.

Your mitmproxy device and ZenFone 9 should be connected on the same network, find the IP of your device running mitmproxy and proxy the connection on your phone with the IP and port 8080.

Download the Asus Unlock tool app on your phone and run it. Your phone should now be unlocked.

Stop mitmproxy and close any ports you opened.

Not work for version WW_33.0804.2060.204.

How to downgrade version?
[Asus Zenfone 9] LinerFWZ:
With ZF9 firmware version 33.0804.2060.189 and newer, Asus blocked unofficial unlocking and system downgrades. The last version to support downgrades and unofficial unlocks should be 33.0804.2060.165
[Asus Zenfone 9] Gyl9Sh:
it's a pity. Now we will wait for them to write instructions on how to downgrade the version for new firmware
[Asus Zenfone 9] aesara:
Try to adapt these instructions (untested on ZF9) for your device and report back. If after reading these instructions you feel like you don't know what you're supposed to be doing, then don't try and follow them.

If you can downgrade then try the bootloader unlock again.

If all of this works then hit me up with what you did and I'll add a section for downgrading the ROM.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Firngrod:
It appears that the .165 firmware version was pulled from Asus' websites because of issues with the bootloader. However, you can still download at least some of the earlier versions, according to george_kant's post on this thread from Zentalk's Zenfone 9 forum:

Cannot download firmware 33.0804.2060.165

Hi, Since I have unlocked my phone I don't get OTA updates and I download them manually. For some strange reason firmware files are no longer available for download through Asus support page. I would like to get 33.0804.2060.165 firmware but it's not available, even previosu versions are gone...

I have downloaded .142, linked from that post, and will attempt a downgrade and unlock once I have time, probably tonight or else sometime this weekend.

[Asus Zenfone 9] Firngrod:

I wonder if something like https://droidwin.com/how-to-unbrick-asus-zenfone-9-via-fastboot-commands/ would be possible for downgrading the firmware version. I am hesitant to try it as I have never worked with fastboot before, but I may end up trying it because after seeing how simple this work-around for the bootloader unlock app was, I am even more eager to ditch Asus' software.
[Asus Zenfone 9] aesara:
I don't know how Android ROM images work, but let's say you download WW-33.0804.2060.142 from Asus' website. The downloaded file should be called UL-ASUS_AI2202-ASUS-33.0804.2060.142-1.1.1-2306-user.zip.

What would happen if you were to rename it to UL-ASUS_AI2202-ASUS-99.0804.2060.142-1.1.9-9999-user.zip and then follow the rest of the procedure? It'd be stupid if it were that easy but it's worth a try.

Let me know how that goes
[Asus Zenfone 9] Gyl9Sh:
the system saw the file after renaming, but when pressing update an error occurred
[Asus Zenfone 9] aesara:
That's some progress. I'm guessing that the file in the other thread works because:

a) It's Android 12 being installed on an Android 13 system (different releases of Android)

b) Someone went into the ROM file and hacked the version number.

Trying to troubleshoot option a seems easier. Can you somehow fetch an official Android 12 ROM for ZenFone 9, rename it using the pattern I described (don't just copy and paste), and see if that works?

e.g. from initial pattern Asus_Zenfone_9_AI2202_32.2004.2004.84-1.1.1-2206_OTA.zip:

Asus_Zenfone_9_AI2202_99.2004.2004.84-1.1.9-9999_OTA.zip

UL-ASUS_AI2202-ASUS-99.2004.2004.84-1.1.9-9999-user.zip
[Asus Zenfone 9] Gyl9Sh:
with name

UL-ASUS_AI2202-ASUS-99.2004.2004.84-1.1.9-9999-user.zip

system update failed

with name

Asus_Zenfone_9_AI2202_99.2004.2004.84-1.1.9-9999_OTA.zip

Nothing happens
