[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMystic:
My mistake, I didn't read your post properly.

I don't think it is possible to extract the apk from your PDM, which is a locked device managed by the company. From what I understand, you can't do anything on that device except for running that app.

Out of curiosity:

1. Why do you want to do this? Is it to avoid carrying an additional device?

2. Why can't you use a US account?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wax9374:
1. Yes its to avoid carrying an additional device.

2. Its not that easy to create an Account for an OmniPod you have to talk to the hotline to get it activated after creation and i think it has to be linked to a specific omnipod order the get activated. I guy on reddit had somehow managed to get it activated but then ran in to the issue that after the Login the App says you first have to login with your Account to an US(!) PDM to use the MobileApp on a external Account. The guy has now ordered an US PDM and will try to login in there and hops that he can use afterwards the US App with a US Account and a german OmniPod but there is still a chance that the german Pods will only work with a german account and the german App. So it would be revolutionary to have the german APK and way more convenient then extra order an US PDM what would be very pricy and may not work...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
So, do you have to login to that app? If not, you'll probably need the app data as well...

And that is a different situation... also if it's installed as a user app.

Then plan mtkclient probably doesn't work.

Too many unknowns, also maybe some risks too. I (probably) would keep carrying that thing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wax9374:
With the app version from the PDM its possible to login in to a german account so I think I do not need the app data because i can perform the login when I have installed the App on my phone...

I will try now to pull the partitions from the PDM with the mtkclient then we will see.

Do you think there is a risk in bricking the device while just pulling data?

Yes there are a lot of unknowns but I tell you its really annoying the carry that extra device and handle 2 mobile devices the same time when you know it should be possible with a single device...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Not really, but some seem to have talents for even that... ;)

Urgency! Is that possible to unbrick with combined conditions of flashing other 3rd rom whole partitions and using its original preloader.bin?

Hi, To be honestly I'm a totally newbie about root or flash, so the bad news is that my [PDA] got bricked now. If you are an expert in this area, just look my questions below and Please help me, and the latest situation is at 4 floor. Thx a lot...

xdaforums.com

Not really a brick that case. In a similar situation you just pull that battery out and it should be fine...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wax9374:
Pulling the partitions worked perfectly thanks for your help. Now I will try to extract the APK from them. If you have any hints how to do that feel free to share:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Nice. One could assume that they want that it would survive factory reset if you can boot into the recovery... Then somewhere on the system..., or vendor or custom, what ever their names are... everything is possible on a customized OS...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wax9374:
I have spend now some hours in searching trough the partitions and of course there is no usable OmniPod apk file.

Am Iam right in the assumption, that everything in the UserData.bin is impossible to decrypt even when you know the "unlocking PIN"? Because im pretty sure i have found the APk-file there but of course its encrypted...

I have seen that mtkclient has a option to extract keys? Can anyone explain which kind of keys are meant? I guess not the ones i need to decrypt the UserData partion right?

For the moment I have only some ideas left...

I have seen with TWRP you have the possibility to decrypt the partitions with your "unlock PIN"...

Can anyone evaluate how big the chances are in bricking the device while trying to flash TWRP to the phone?

Will that even be possible? With MTKclient you can Unlock the bootloader shouldn't it be possible after that?

I can see in the Debug-log of MTKclient that my device is "protected" not sure what that means and which impact that will have on the process.

Thanks a lot for your help !!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
If you have full set of partitions, you should be able to restore it as it was.

I would take that backup again, twice to be sure that they're correctly read.

(I have had my adventures, when using adb to write though...)

After unlocking it most likely says otherwise...

TWRP, forensic tools, etc... there are uncertain possibilities - and lots of work ahead, like this:

(method for your A10 might be a bit different and more difficult though, if even possible)

Mate 9 - how to retrieve encrypted files from a broken system (userdata partition)

It's surprising that a bunch of people are interested in this article. But I have to say that some processes I mentioned in this article just happened to work. I don't necessarily understand why they work, which also means they probably cannot be...

xdaforums.com

Easiest way might be to make system/boot to run some script to copy those files... IDK...

just keep carrying it...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wax9374:
Unfortunately i like the idea you have crossed out the most:D Thanks for the input!

I have extracted my boot partition and the ramdisk after that. But of course my init file is not a editable script, its a executable file I guess compiled C code. But shouldn't it be possible to replace the file with script which copies my File to a accessible path , flashing it to my device and reflash after that the original boot partition to make it run again? Has anyone experience with replacing the original init file in RamDisk with a custom script? Will the device even be decrypted without performing the original init-process? If not is there a possibility to add a custom script to the original (compiled) init file?

Thanks a lot for any input!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Is there in /system/bin install_recovery.sh or something similar?

That usually is run when system starts. It fixes your recovery.

On boot to find place to run a script file, see init.rc (or other *.rc files) .

Above recovery fix can be found there somewhere too..

Boot also might need some selinux and adv tampering I guess...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wax9374:
On boot I only have a file called init unfortunately nothing with .rc endings:

ramdisk$ file init

init: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, BuildID[md5/uuid]=7656082b85855c8ddd8fb21cf490925d, stripped

For the install_recovery.sh I have to search later when Im at home but I think there is nothing like that-.-
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Well, I didn't cross out the IDK part... ;)

Then you might find them somewhere on system partition.

I hope...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wax9374:
Surprisingly i have found the install-recovery.sh. Can it be that easy, that i just add to code to the end of the file, rebuild the super partition were the system directory is in flash it and it will execute my code? Or am I thinking way to easy?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Super, naturally there is such... and recovery is on boot system too, right?

If so, what the .sh is for then if not repairing the recovery...

Anyways, check the init.rc in case it has been removed/commented out from it...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
That is the way supersu daemon was/is run...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wax9374:
So you guess there will be chance after set selinux to permissive that the code will get executed?

Im a little afraid in trying out things on my own because bricking the device would be obviously very bad for me...

But in theory I can try set selinux to permissive in the boot partition right?

After that I try first for testing purposes to maybe create a file called test.test in a location I can access later?

Anything I should specifically watch for besides of having a double backup?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Yep, it would be better not to do anything...

But in theory:

At 1st try unlocking the bootloader. In mtkclient readme there is command in that

erases metadata and userdata and udc.

You naturally want to skip that.

If it doesn't boot after it, I guess nothing else will work either...

BTW, when I played with it, mtkclient relock wrote seccfg differently that it was.

Worked but flash seccfg.bin back if you want to be sure it's the same again.

Maybe Magisk could be used to "fix" that boot.img... ??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
The idea is that by comparing, taking sha1 sums for example, one can see if it read or written right. Well, not really but it gives some clues at least..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Omnipod/comments/weprig/_/jufzfj1

Wondering if the app somehow survived the erasing... Well, at least Warden? did..

If it's reinstalled from somewhere you maybe could remove the encryption... IDK...

[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] huzisial:
can i install other region firmware on my device
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] phone2kingl:
yeah i think , but for me original rom traces are remaining (I had an XME/XME rom and i managed to have XEF/XEF ??/XME rom)
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] milanpeterjani83:
Yes, you can. If you need it for custom ROMs because the one on the device doesn't work with them, you can try to flash the Nepalese (NPB) or the Sri Lanka (SLK) firmware. These are tested to work, but there may be others, too.

you can't downgrade

can we bypass downgrade restriction ?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Dan112z:
I don't think it will be posible
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] phone2kingl:
I have heard of a patched version of Odin.

Is this true and someone can tel me pls.?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Dan112z:
I tried it already and still not working
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] phone2kingl:
So , there is really NO WAY to bypass this? even with bootloader unlocked ?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] phone2kingl:
i have heard that it is because vbmeta , is this true ? i have found a file for odin , vbmeta disable
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] milanpeterjani83:
There is a complicated way, but it's not worth trying. Also, don't ask me about it, 'cause I don't know the steps.

Hello everyone,

I have a Huawei router branded Vodafone Italia. I canceled the subscription and switched to iliad but the router does not connect to the iliad internet network. I tried to unlock the device or search for stock firmware but to no avail. Basically I can't configure an APN correctly. Could anyone tell me where I can find a stock firmware for this router? Or, how could I make the iliad sim work? Thanks everyone for the help.

Hello. Whats the thing with the interactive wallpapers only available for S24 ultra? Will base model and + version get those also? Im kinda disappointed that I cant have interactive wallpapers on my S24, although its same firmware and lineup with ultra.

I'm sure if someone pulls the s24 rom and compares it to the s24u rom you'll find the APK responsible easily enough.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] AngryYoungMan:
I'm using my Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 to shoot video at 30fps with the selfie camera, saving directly to my SD card which has plenty of space. These videos are 8 to 10 minutes long. I notice that the longer the video goes on, the more the audio doesn't sync up with the video. Furthermore, there are sometimes audio "skips", which makes the sync problem worse and my videos unusable.

I use the stock camera. Stock everything, really. Not using any custom ROMs or anything, and just have a teleprompter program running while I take the video.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I have O2 unlimited web bolton on my account but for some reason O2 swapped it back to unlimited text bolton. I mange to change it back to unlimited web bolton.

I observed on my bill that everyday there is usage of around 30 to 50 kb of data on my account.

I have connected my HD with WIFI and Data communication is off. But of some reason, Data communication automatically gets on and hence I think it try to do something and everyday their is data usage.

Can anyone tell me how to stop Data communciation started automatically.

You can turn it off using the advanced configuration tool. Just do a search and download it. ;)

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] iMonkr:
I recently attempted to flash TWRP using the method outlined in [ https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-3-5-0-0-unofficial-twrp-xiaomi-poco-x3-surya-karna.4168511/ ]. However, after the flashing process, I encountered an unexpected issue – TWRP is blinking and not functioning properly. I've attached a video for better clarity.

In an attempt to resolve this, I switched to OrangeFox and it seems to be working fine. Nonetheless, I'm curious about why TWRP isn't functioning as expected. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? If so, I would greatly appreciate any insights, solutions, or tips you might have.

Hi.

I've started to have an issue with my phone where it loses internet connection, even though I have full 4g Volte and wireless signal. So far the only fix has been rebooting the phone, then all apps connect fine until it happens again.

Good news! The MSM bypass method on OnePlus 11 works well on OnePlus 12R (Ace 3).

New simpler method: Only use for unbrick

Steps:

1. Overwrite the prog_firehose_ddr.elf file in the attached zip file to the OFP folder/IMAGES/prog_firehose_ddr.elf

2. Download 1.3.zip, unzip

3. Run 9008驱动.exe and 报错安装我VC_redist.x86.exe to install driver and VC

4. Run OPLUS骁龙8GEN2设备刷机工具1.3.exe

5. Login with any user, password, OTP

View attachment 6065719

6. After login, drag and Drop OFP Folder to tool's windows

7. Keep default and click OK

8. Choose START to Start FlashView attachment 6065725

9. When the phone is powered off, you can hold down both volumes buttons and plug it into the computer to enter EDL mode, or you can use the command "adb reboot edl".

10. The flashing process will automatically start when the phone enters EDL mode.

Good luck!

After you receive and root it, can you extract the ocdt file for me please? thank you <3
[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] kouzelnik3:
I am not sure whether I want to root it this time. The reason is I have the 10 Pro rooted on tha latest OOS 13.1 version for it and on the OOS14, I had brutal lags and almost unusable device then, but I am also using the swapram magisk module there in addition to others like shamik, bootloop protector, playintegrity fix, youtube revanced, zygisk and zygisk detach, also it is only a 8/128 version which might be the issue if I also take into consderation that its S8G1 is a heater. :D

But if so, where I will find that exact file? Just to be sure. :)
