I got a mp3 with mt6582, I try to use spflash and wwr to save the fireware in it ,but I failed, I got an imprtant meesage is that it's partition is mbr not gpt, and it has a partition offset. So I wonder whts's the differences between mbr and gpt, and how can I solve the partition offset?

[General Questions and Answers] khusika:
Hi @Abyxkojw,

First of all i'm not familiar with MTK devices, but let me quote this for you about MBR and GPT

As far as I know, all Android devices use GPT for their partition tables. I'm worried that mtkclient could unlock your MP3 bootloader, because this tool was designed for Android devices.

There are related issues as well that are the same as yours, and it seems like they can't solve the problem either.

My phone battery died and when I turned it on again it got stuck on an infinite loop, entering recovery mode gives me those errors, wiping cache and factory reset give the same errors.

I tried using Odin to install a new firmware, the device is recognized but it gets stuck on "setup connection" or just gets "removed!!!". I tried using adb but device is not being recognized I think from not being on debug mode but I don't know how to, it is OEM and FRP locked so I can't install TWRP.

Tried using different firmwares, odin versions , different usb ports but got all of the same errors. Is there another way to unlock usb debugging?

Anyway, tried everything I could find online.

[FYT Android Head Units] leo989:
Hi there,

Light from capacitive buttons on the left side of the headunit made me annoying when driving in the night. It can be changed color but cannot be dimmed or turned off completely at night.

There are only 2 options in the setting: (i) it turns on/off following the car head light or (ii) by 7PM/7AM fixed. Both of options are automatic.

So I am looking an app/mod to turn it on/off manually. If you know some useful app/mod please let me know. Tks.

Right now I cut the ILL harness to my headunit to prevent it turn on when my car headlight is on.

--- Also with the ILL harness be cut, I am going to use that ILL to trigger something in the car at night, may be to trigger some ambient light (DIY)... I am looking for some interesting ideas.

Nice day !
[FYT Android Head Units] newuzer1:
Or go into settings to change the panel colors, choose the custom setting and move all the RGB sliders to the left.

What you did creates another problem of not lowering screen brightness at night
[FYT Android Head Units] leo989:
My head unit only allow to choose different pre-set colors, no RGB or others control for that button light.

My the head unit have 2 automatic screen brightness level for day and night, also Car launcher pro have this option. So it is not the problem when cutting the ILL harness.

But they doesn't allow to set the time to change from day/night (it seems change at 7PM). I am learning it, that's why I still prefer an app/mod to control the capacitive button light manually so I can turn it off.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
This can't be done with an app as it has to directly interact with the MCU. The MCU controls this. It doesn't get a direct "signal" but reads a setting file in "/sys/fytver". The Settings apk puts some settings in (mini-)files there that are read by the MCU.

See in the spoiler.

Some of these files can be directly modified by the Settings app or on a rooted system, and the MCU will pick up. Others are constantly "locked" and require a reboot to be updated (and changed) during the reboot.

So in short: forget about the App.

Edit: For the others who read this: If you use my HWGetInfo.apk, you will find it in the file "sys_listing.txt". Some files will vary depending on radio-chip, DSP-chip, etc.

Spoiler content hidden.
[FYT Android Head Units] leo989:
Tks for your explanation. I still can not catch this. Because the headunit have an option that turn on/off at 7PM and 7AM (bypass the trigger by ILL hardness). So I think there is a mod/app to control it, logically. At least we can "mod" the time (says on/off form 11h59AM to 12hAM to trick the headunit turn it on for just 1 minutes per day and then turn it off).

But just forget it.

Maybe I will connect a scent diffuser to the cut ILL hardness. So when driving at night, and the headlight is on, there will be a night scent in the car . LOL.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes, there is. That is the Settings apk that is a private system app having a huge amount of special system access permissions.

That's why it won't work with another app, unless:

- You sign it with system keys.

- You flash (not simply install) is as private system app in /oem/priv-app

- You give it all the special access rights for these actions.

- Give it the special access rights for the /sys/fytver folder

- Whitelist it in the FYT "whitelisting" configuration xml.

Succes ;)

Is there a way to set up an action that when I arrive at a certain location WiFi turns off and when I Ieave wifi turns on? I Googled this but couldn't find anything. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] chrisz5z:
You can do this with Tasker, but it will require root.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] neilth:
Better than Tasker, you can just create a pair of routines in Settings >Modes and Routines. I have a very similar pair of routines which I created to turn on mobile data when I leave home and my phone no longer sees my WiFi network and the reverse when I arrive back home. You just pick what you want the routine to do and then set the condition to trigger it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
You don't need to root. Mine automatically turns on Do Not Disturb when I get to work. It also turns off WiFi until I get home.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
You can use the built-in Modes & Routines app for this purpose.

If you want to get more done, use Macrodroid. To toggle WiFi, you'll need the Helper app that you must install using the method described here:

www.digitaltrends.com
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] neilth:
Open Settings >Modes and Routines>Routines. Then tap + on the upper right of your screen. This will open a Create Routine screen. You then need to pick what will trigger the routine at the location where you want your wifi off. You can choose the location on a map which will be based on the location’s GPS coordinates by choosing Place or possibly the presence of a specific WiFi network at the location. Once you pick and configure your If trigger for the first routine, select Then, and tap Connections, then WiFi and select Off. Name and save the routine. Now you just have to create a similar routine doing the opposite of the first routine. If you used Place to trigger the first routine and selected "When I arrive" for the first routine, now you will select "When I leave" and under Then, again select Connections, WiFi, but this time select On. Name and save your second routine and you should be good to go except for one setting you need to turn off. An Intelligent WiFi setting needs to be turned off for the two routines to function properly. The easiest way to do this is to open Settings and search for Intelligent and select Intelligent WiFi and make sure "Turn WiFi on/off automatically" is turned off.

That should do it, I hope my instructions aren’t confusing anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Looks like this:View attachment 6071875
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] neilth:
On that screen tap on the gear on the upper right to open Settings. BTW, if you do use Place to trigger the routine, it would be the easiest if you are at the location where you want the WiFi to turned off when you arrive and turned 0n when you leave when you create the routines because when you select Place, a map will open with your current location. Being at the trigger location for the two routines will simplify the process for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] StormCell:
Thanks everyone figured it out. It was actually stupid simple.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] neilth:
Did you use routines or another method?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] StormCell:
Modes under Settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
It can be a bit confusing because the full name for the app is, "Modes and Routines." I kinda wish Samsung would just call it "Routines," or "Routines and Modes."
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] J.Dee.M:
Hello all!

I can't seem to get my fuze working here in the philippines.. :(

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nkawtg:
Is you Fuze unlocked or are you using you ATT Sim Card? If you are using ATT you needed to tell ATT before you went to the PI. If it's unlocked and you have a PI SIM are you using he original ATT ROM. If you are you need to hand jam the connection settings or get your hands on the HTC connections program.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
You will need to unlock your Fuze in order to use a non-AT&T SIM card. Otherwise, you will need to roam on one of the carriers in the Philippines that has a roaming agreement with AT&T. Contact AT&T to enable roaming on your account (roaming charges will apply).

Fortunately there appears to be good GSM and 3G coverage in Philippines. Links for more information:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] J.Dee.M:
Phone is still locked and still using the ATT sim card. I guess im outta luck while I'm here then?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] RxS2K:
You're not out of luck at all. Just call AT&T and tell them you can't use AT&T while you are down there and you need to use a local SIM. If all goes according to plan they will give you the unlock code.

To unlock your phone all you have to do is get a local SIM card pop it in and enter the unlock code you just got from AT&T. Your phone will now work at a fraction of the cost to make local calls. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] emesbe:
Definitely get the unlock code and local sim card. "Charges will apply" is a real understatement. I was out of the country earlier this year and went with AT&T international roaming rather than a local sim. I came back to a $2000 bill. My fault completely - I wasn't paying attention to my usage. You can check rates on AT&T's site.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hopper13:
While it's not like being at home, ATT will sell you international data plans (iPhone) of 24 mb, 100 mb or 200 mb per month at a rate much lower than just roaming without a plan.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nkawtg:
Everyone is correct, call ATT and see if they will give you the unlock code. If not, it is worth it to purchase a code on ebay or spend the extra for the software here on XDA developers to unlock. The ATT charge is $2.49/minute. A local card is really cheap as I remember from the last time I was in the PI.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] J.Dee.M:
So do I just call the customer service # from a landline in the PI? Or will I be able to call cust.serv. from the fuze?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
Better to play it safe and use a calling card with rates you know you can monitor. :)

[Android Head-Units] chewybits95:
Hello. It's been some time since I posted here, but I'm kind of stumped on something going on with my new head unit. I recently installed a Dasaita G12 head unit into my Honda Accord 2013 EX-L. Besides the usual set up and settings adjustments, I've liked the unit so far and found minimal issues, except, I'm unable to access my car's factory settings in the designated Car Controls Settings App. Everything I try to select is grayed out and I'm unable to change any factory vehicle settings because of this issue. My CAN BUS is currently set to 76, which is meant for my car model, but I have yet to find a solution on the matter. The backup cam, Lanewatch and SWC were retained and Android Auto works flawlessly (for now lol), so in that regard, I'm satisfied, but if the case may be I would need to access my car's intrinsic settings, I'm concerned this may be an issue further down the line.

As expected, the Dasaita forum nor the Aliexpress seller I bought it from were not helpful with narrowing down the issue, so I'm turning to the XDA community to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue with this relatively new head unit model or if anyone has any insight on the matter.

hello!

i'd like to know the following on booting & flashing custom recovery;

if i boot (not flash) into TWRP temporarily, and check it out if it works, will it not change the stock recovery? (i need the stock recovery for now).

if i manage to boot (again, not flash) an incompatible version of TWRP, will that be an issue or can i just restart the device and it will retain and will be able to boot into stock recovery as normal?

my last query would be, if a version of TWRP works on my device after i've tested it through booting it, is it guaranteed to work once its successfully flashed?

device model if needed for some reason : Huawei P9 EVA-L09

bootloader is unlocked.

thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Booting vs. Flashing TWRP: Understanding the difference​

1. Booting without flash and stock recovery:

Yes, booting TWRP temporarily (without flashing) will not affect your stock recovery. After restarting your device normally, it will boot into the stock recovery as usual. This temporary boot uses the fastboot protocol and doesn't permanently replace anything.

2. Booting an incompatible TWRP version:

Booting an incompatible TWRP version can be risky. While simply restarting usually reverts to stock recovery, issues might arise. Incompatibility can lead to boot loops, data corruption, or other unexpected behavior.

It's strongly recommended to only boot TWRP versions specifically built for your device model.

3. Booting vs. Flashing success guarantee:

Unfortunately, booting a TWRP version successfully doesn't guarantee it will work after flashing. While booting uses a different method, flashing permanently modifies your device's recovery partition.
[General Questions and Answers] zinkles:
good to know. i tried the fastboot boot command to try and boot TWRP that came from the official website for my specific device, but had no luck, since it give the error,

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.713s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.722s

i tried various versions but didnt work, so lastly i resorted to flashing it, thinking it will help, but no it didnt. it flashed successfully but i cant get into TWRP with the key combination nor adb reboot recovery. its stuck on the screen where it says "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted".

i can still boot into OS and everything works, except when bootinginto recovery, which also begs the question, is the Recovery needed for the phone to function? of course when you go into the recovery you will need it, but to boot the device and use Android, it doesn't look like it needs recovery. so can i flash different recoveries till i get a working one (?) and not worry about bootloops? (im aware not having a working recovery will limit my options for,.. recovery ofcourse.)
[General Questions and Answers] zinkles:
does anybody have the stock recovery for my phone (Huawei P9 EVA- L09) or can find it for me, or do i need to extract it from the stock ROM? (im on limited internet bandwidth so this will eat up quite a lot of bandwidth for me)
