In what possible way, could we even helped you with the problem? We could never help you with this, but you act like we could have helped you.

Hey there!

I've been trying to root a few phones and found helpful threads on this site. I'm interested in exploring what else this community has to offer!

A couple things about myself, I'm currently a bootcamp student for cybersec with an online cohort. More recently landed my first IT deployment position 2mo after leaving my previous job, completely nerding out for a couple months, and backing myself into a corner until I landed a job in the industry. I'm really into my gadgets and computers of all sizes (especially the tiny ones) - I'm in a position where I'm looking to learn whatever my interest steers toward, and the more people I have to talk about it with the more excited I get about the tech world in general.

Hoping to add value and learn a lot from all of you. Don't hesitate to say hi or share your advice!

[Touch HD General] samitro:
I have just got my blackstone and I would like to hear from other owners if this is ok

1- I feel that something is loose beneath the camera, when I put my phone on the table or when I tap on the camera from the back I hear as if something is cracking

2- This might be normal but when I tap on the display I feel that the outer cover of the display is a bit moving towards the display, as if there is a 1mm space between the display and the outer cover, this is most noticeable when pressing at the middle of the display

Thanks
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
I have noticed both of those things ever since I got my HD a month ago. I think it is normal. I even read a tip in the wiki list of tips that deals with the squeaky back cover. See tip Nr. 37 there.
[Touch HD General] Asrar:
On my device I do not notice anything like you mentioned.
[Touch HD General] Cheesy Dave:
I find:

1. The back cover is loose and makes that "cracking" noise

2. There is zero movement of the screen in relation to the unit. Try taking the back cover off and using the screen.
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
Really? I notice it on mine but only when I use the stylus and tap right in the center of the screen. It is not much at all, but if feel as though the clear plastic on the screen sinks half a millimeter and eventually touches bottom.

I don't see how taking the back cover off would affect using the screen at all.
[Touch HD General] samitro:
Thanks for your replies, my back cover is really fine, I remember trying one in the shop that had the back cover problem but the unit I ordered is not suffering from this. The noise I hear is really coming from the inside and is somewhere under the camera.

Regarding the display, this is not a problem I know but when tapping on the display I just don't feel it is solid but that plastic cover moves downwards. Exactly as Chris is describing above
[Touch HD General] Cheeze[iT]:
Doesn't the screen have to go down? Its a resistive touch, so there has to be SOME movement right?
[Touch HD General] thechefcooks:
i would recommend going back to the store and ask the sales person to check it

this does not sound alright and mine does not make the sound you described

check "settings" -> "sounds & notification" and disable "screen tabs"" this is a kinda cracking sound too when you touch the screen, and the speaker is on the backside
[Samsung Gear VR] Arkler:
I am posting this here and somewhere else hoping that this information may be useful to someone able to poke around with android and find a solution: I just discovered that a very old Motorola MOTOG2 XT1068 I still own, which runs a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix RR-P-V7.0.1), if set on the Gear VR connector, will recognize the touchpad and buttons. Mouse Pointer comes up and reacts, touching the touchpad equals to touching the screen. Now, back, volume and home do get registered but they don't seem to be mapped correctly.

The same does not happen on my newer S10+, on another Motorola (Moto G5) and on an ancient LG G3. Neither of these 3 has a custom rom installed.

So there is clearly some code in that custom ROM (and most likely a lot of other roms) that allows the phone to talk to the headset, at least to the inputs. Which if identified could extract some more use out of the countless Gear VRs that are now almost useless due to the store closure.

But unfortunately I know almost nothing about this kind of stuff.

I also tried to pair the VR controller but no luck. The phone sees it then it doesn't, I guess the BT version on the phone is too old.

Regardless: if someone with the right knowledge can take advantage of this piece of information, that could prove interesting to squeeze some more life out of the headset.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
after trying for ages to get my credit card apps working with an unlocked bootloader, I'm giving up and going back to totally stock with locked bootloader. I can't remember - can you flash a factory image with the bootloader locked? or do I need to do that while the bootloader is unlocked then lock it afterwards?

if flashing factory image requires unlocked bootloader, my former strategy for updating firmware by (dirty) flashing factory images is out the window because of the need to unlock/relock hence having a complete wipe. so I guess from now on my updating would have to be OTA? or can OTA be flashed with locked bootloader? I've never run a pixel with a locked bootloader before!

and lastly - is there a particular firmware version that is favoured by most users in terms of battery life? at the moment I'm on last november. my battery performance recently took a nose dive. I'm hoping by doing a clean flash and starting again it will sort that out.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
one of the easiest ways is to get yourself cheap phone just for those nasty crap apps.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
You cannot flash a factory image with your bootloader locked. However, you can sideload the Full OTA with the bootloader locked. You won't lose data when sideloading the Full OTA.

For what purpose do you give instagram id, when the page ig_beastygod

is only accessible after logging in?

On XDA we share help that is generally available.

Since the specialists didn't fix the phone by having it in their hands, how can they help you without physical access to the device?

Are you counting on a miracle?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dead_pool212:
are willing to help or not? becoz that phone means alot to me she gifted me tht phone before she passed away soo yea i do counting on miracle the repair shop guy askes alot of money to program my ufs nd i tried to fix it but it's not dectecting but sometimes it'll detected but disconnects automatically
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jack_shelack:
Use mtkclient, it has to be time correctly to "catch" the phone while its detectable for a short period.

There is a guide on mtkclient somewhere, but you can flash system images through it, as well as backup your images. I backed up all partitions when my phone was working and use mtkclient to recover from a bricked state
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dead_pool212:
dosen't work brother
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jack_shelack:
I know mtkclient works for this phone, so either your repair shop was right when they said it was near end of life, your USB port is defective causing connection issues, or the way you're trying to connect it for mtkclient is wrong.

Ultimately, if your phone can display the "redmi" logo, then you shouldn't have any problem getting it to connect when following the instructions, unless you have damage to the mainboard or usb from water, dropping, etc. Are you using windows to run mtkclient, because that could be why. Keep it simple, use the bootable LiveDVD, everything is preconfigured and ready to go, just follow the instructions on booting up in brom mode and you should see it detected. If it still doesn't work, try a different cable or replace the USB port board.

Hi there,

I have a Samsung galaxy A03s and I am installing a project elixir 4 gsi in my samsung device. Now it's showing successfully installed in the app and asking to reboot.But, when I rebooted my phone first the samsung logo appeared and again the phone turned off.

Then it restarted but with one ui. In the github page of DSU Sideloader it said to disable avb. But in the requirements it also said to unlock bootloader.

So what should I do now??

Hi. So I'm trying to emulate Android into VirtualBox with Android x86 but this keeps popping up. What should I do to stop it and let me use Android x86?

I'm using a school computer (Dont ask why)

I'm a beginner and just started doing VirtualBox yesterday and I don't know what to do.

Hi. I am trying to find an Android emulator that can allow me to use it on my school computer

Bluestacks, Memu, Ldplayer, Dont work

Remix-os kind of works but it buggy as hell.

I need one that works, doesn't need admin perms, and doesn't need hyper-v.

Use QEMU what is short for Quick EMUlator. As its name implies, it can be used as an emulator, but also as a hypervisor. As an emulator, it allows you to run software that would normally not be possible to run on your current operating system because of compatibility. As a hypervisor, it allows you to create and manage virtual machines. It integrates quite seamlessly with KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) which yields amazing performance results for your virtual machines.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] awakener777:
Hello all,

I haven't been here in awhile and was wondering if someone would give me the best link or directions for my situation.

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted shortly after the phone's release. About a year after that it auto updated for some reason and I lost root. I would like very much to get it back at this point.

I am on the latest update (AP1A.240305.019.A1).

Can I reobtain root without losing my data? My bootloader remains unlocked. What's the best guide for my situation? Thank you in advance!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Patch using magisk, go to install, top option and patch your boot.img. if using LOS, it's downloadable, but if you don't have access to the boot.img, you'll need to pull it from the update using Python and payload dumper. Unless you accidentally do a factory reset, nothing will be lost, and it's 100% reversible by flashing the original boot.img and it's undone:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] awakener777:
Thank you very much!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
No worries, I am here if you have any questions. I'll try to answer timely but can't promise
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] awakener777:
Can I only flash the patched boot.img and nothing else?

Edit: Will the flash-all.bat with the patched boot.img clear my data?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Yes, using fastboot commands.

Yes. You want to edit flash-all.bat and remove the -w flag from the command to prevent this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bdr127:
Where does he say he's using LineageOS? He says right in the OP he's on AP1A.240305.019.A1 (a stock Pixel build number).

@awakener777 First, note that you're not actually on the latest update. There was one released for April a few days ago (AP1A.240405.002).

If you only want to root (and not update to a new build), then all you need is the boot.img that is inside the factory image -- Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices (Note that if you're staying on the March update that you're on right now, download that one from the Pixel 6 Pro section.) Extract the zip, then the zip inside that zip, and then extract the boot.img. Send it to your phone. Then use the Magisk Manager app -- on Magisk, select Install, then select the boot.img. Send that magisk_patched_boot.img back to your computer. Then reboot to bootloader and patch boot in fastboot.

With all that said.... By far the quickest and easiest way to update (and root) is to use PixelFlasher. I've been rooting Android phones for ~13 years. With all my Nexus and Pixel devices, I always did it the "hard" way with command line tools, manual downloads, etc. PixelFlasher makes the whole process sooooo easy and foolproof. No risk of mistyping and bricking your phone. Plus, the developer (badabing2003) is incredibly active and responsive here on XDA if you have questions or problems. I made the switch to using PixelFlasher a couple months ago, and I'm so glad I did.

BTW: If you use PixelFlasher, make sure you fully read and understand everything on the first page of that thread linked above.

TLDR: Just use PixelFlasher for updating and rooting.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] awakener777:
Thank you for the detailed response. I did see that there was a more recent update that hasn't yet hit my device ota. I will try to flash that, and I will also look into pixelflasher
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] awakener777:
Somehow I think I might have bricked my phone. I extracted the boot.img, patched it with magisk, transferred back to computer and ran the flash-all.bat. I really thought it went well until it boot looped a couple times and now it's just black. Damn. The computer does make a sound when I connect it via USB, but that's about it. ADB doesn't recognize it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bdr127:
If you were only rooting (and not updating the build), you don't run flash-all.bat. Even if you were updating and using flash-all.bat, you don't put the patched boot.img back in the zip you're flashing. You do the stock flashing first, then after booting into the un-rooted OS, you reboot to bootloader and flash the patched boot.img.

Anyway, this is why I really recommended using PixelFlasher. It's really, really hard to screw something up. It does everything for you in exactly the right way in exactly the right order.

If you really insist on doing everything manually, I recommend thoroughly reading V0latyle's write-up.

As for your current situation, what happens when you hold the power button and volume down button at the same time?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] awakener777:
Thanks. Yeah I should have. It's been a very rough week or two.

Nothing appears to happen. Although when I connect it to the USB, the computer makes the sound that something connected and this time it doesn't immediately make the disconnect sound. Still, I can't view files, no ADB or fastboot commands

How to Boot Google Pixel 6 Pro Recovery Mode and Fastboot Mode - Droid Recovery

Want to Boot Google Pixel 6 Pro into Recovery Mode or Fastboot Mode or Bootloader Mode? Then follow the instructions listed on this page to successfully Boot Google Pixel 6 Pro to Fastboot Mode or Recovery Mode.Google Pixel 6 Pro Recovery Mode allows the users to perform advanced operations like...

droidrecovery.com

Nothing happens when you hold down those two buttons together?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] awakener777:
That's correct 😭. Just sounds from USB connecting/disconnecting on the comp if it's connected

Edit: maybe I just need to wait until the phone powers off? There's no way to power it off manually, is there?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bdr127:
That appears to be a hard brick. Not good. Maybe someone else can comment, but I'm fairly sure that a hard bricked Pixel is pretty unrecoverable...

It's at least worth trying a few things (although they're unlikely to work):

Android Flash Tool -- https://flash.android.com

-and-

Google's Pixel Repair -- https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com

Again, if you can't even get to bootloader or recovery, it's not likely they'll work, but you might as well try.

If nothing works, you can try getting it repaired:

Hello!

I was looking forna little bit without success...so I'm apologize if this question will sounds as a newbie...😅

I've got a TCL 55P635 with build RP1A.200622.001, kernel 4.14.187+

Unlucky the seller was wrong and this smart tv hasn't alexa voice control as the model 55P638 has.

Online i found the apk of "Work with alexa" (package com.tcl.smartalexa).

Has anyone tried adding Alexa features to a TCL TV? Is there a specific procedure for each brand or a general one?

Maybe a modding?

Thank you! 😚

[Redmi Note 10S] Bjarkjan:
Hello and good day gentlepeople, Today im bringing an interesting case for looking, a xiomi redmi note 10s which previously i were triying to flash linage os , so firstly i rooted it with magisk and mtk client, process on which i succeed but then i installed magisk on the linage os recovery i flashed it, it worked and at the moment of installing linage os it frezeed and i bricked my phone.

posterior attemps on recovering the phone where unsuccesfull and the preloader were wiped out of the phone hopefully i made a copy beforehand, copy i used to try flashing a full global rom same version as the phone "(a fastboot room)", i tried to reflash the preloader, and nothing, tried many times with little differences and even tried spflash tool, but at some point it failed at flashing some images and my phone never recovered from the shadows.

some time 2 weeks ofter that i tried to flash directly the preloader to the memory seccions 0x0->0x80000 process which harder bricked my phone and noe it doesnt even has a partition table

so i have the question, does it even exist a way for recover the phone??

If there are people here who use Tasker.

I was able to create two Bixby Routines:

One turns the flashlight on and off, with a long press on the volume up button.

One changes the sound/vibrate/silent mode with a long press on the volume down button.

The routines work even when the screen is off.

Explanation:

In Tasker, go to the preferences/action/app shortcut task menu. You can attach three shortcuts that can be activated from the routines under the app/Tasker option.

Install Routines Plus in Good Lock, which has an extension for button actions.
