[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foufure:
Hello everyone,

I'm encountering a issue with my Blackview BV4800, which is currently running Android 13. Upon starting the device, I'm greeted with the following error message:

To resolve the issue, I attempted to follow a tutorial found here, which involved modifying the lk_a.bin file to eliminate the orange warning.

However, I've hit a roadblock for removing the 5-second boot time delay introduced by the error.

I successfully located and modified a 24-character string within the file (08B5****7B441B681B68022B).

as requested in the tutorial, but the proposed solution of replacing the string with another did not solve the problem.

Attempts to bypass this by using the command

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

resulted in a boot loop.

I'm reaching out to see if anyone has successfully navigated this issue or has insights into disabling the dm-verity corruption error.

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foufure:
I've found the solution

for this I had to follow a tuto from a guy on github who is no longer available

you have to modify the lk.bin file with ghidra

looking for the alert with the message displayed and modify the script function so as not to pass through the functions that call the alerts

then flash the file on the phone and this solves our problem
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joke19:
And how
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foufure:
I did a little research on the guy in question to try to find his tuto and good news I was able to find it,

Apparently he just hadn't renewed his domain name some time ago.

the guy's github and his tools:

hey guys, i have realme 8 pro (RMX3081) and unfortunately the support for it ends in august and the android support ended already, so ive been wondering, would it be possible to flash a custom rom that would be extra customizable and would support at least the android 14? if so, could somebody please tell me is there a custom rom like this and how to install it
[Realme 8 Pro] melontini:
Hi, there are no proper custom ROMs for this phone. You can flash TD based GSIs, of course, but stability can be hit & miss. Also, the bootloader is not unlockable on most regions. You should check if the deep testing app works for you before proceeding.

Deep testing: https://xdaforums.com/t/unlock-bootloader-help.4425415/post-86777721

If you have eu region you can change to in region or another region that support bootloader unlock and then run deep testing app.

EDL or OplusLocalUpdate? Never tried reflashing as I unlocked thought the server exploit.

IMEI has been assigned to my device.

Will IMEI be deleted if I root?

They say that if I do a radical factory reset, the IMEI will be gone. How true is that?

MIUI Version: MIUI global 14.0.3 stable 14.0.3.1(SMOMIXN) What is my phone, Indian or Chinese?

*********************

Cihazıma IMEI'si Atılmıştır.

Kök atsam IMEI Silinir mi?

Köklü şekilde fabrika ayarlarına dönsem IMEI gider diyorlar ne kadar doğru?

No one ( except the one that speaks Turkish) will understand you. If you want help speak English please!

And 14.0.3.1 SMOMIXM it's a fake Miui ROM.

[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] Rares6567:
1. Idk if your IMEI will be erased because I don't have a device with a fake ROM like yours.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] Tbugra:
1) I use translation, I hope you know.

2) It came to Turkey from abroad and I received it with its IMEI removed.

This rom is original, can it be turned into a global rom?
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] Rares6567:
Yes it can flash any other ROM by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a fastboot ROM. Also the ROM you have right now, MIUI 14.0.3.1 it's fake.

Hello everyone, I've tried NokiaFREE_v310_Nokia_unlock_codes_calculator like this, if I did something wrong please tell me:

1. I dial up *#06# on my Nokia 3220 Phone to find the IMEI

2. I've open up the NokiaFREE_v310_Nokia_unlock_codes_calculator select the model "Nokia"

3. Select the 3220 (RH-37) model

4. Select the country which I'm in it and I want to use this phone.

5. Select the old network which corresponds (because old network was bought by other and it doesn't exist anymore) to now days network which the SIM I'm willing to use has on it

6. Press Calculate

7, Enter on my Nokia 3220 Phone the codes that this program showed.

I'm a little confused about the country field and the network field on this program because It doesn't tell me what country to select, the one that I'm willing to use the phone or the country where this phone was made or the country where this phone was bought? Another problem is the network provider, same confusion as the country, I must select the network which the actual SIM is or the network in which the phone was bought?

After I enter the codes provided for Nokia 3220 RH-37 and I'm getting "Cannot undo restriction", so I want to try "To Force Nokia BB5 Code" which I found the steps in this Forum thread https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-enter-and-also-force-the-15-digit-unlock-code-in-nokia-phones.2234845.

The problem with FORCE NOKIA BB5 CODE is that after installing Nokia_PC_Suite_eng_web version 7 and I'm trying to connect the phone to the P.C. Windows 10 with my DKU-5 cable, the P.C. won't recognize the phone. If I'm opening Windows Device Manager on the section of "Other devices" , USB-UART Controller with exclamation mark.

So how can I unlock the Nokia 3220 on Windows 10?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mvikrant97:
You would need Windows XP based PC.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Geagichi:
And it will work? Can't be done on Windows 10?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fl0w:
Windows 10 has the ability to run legacy programs, should be useable within compatibility settings
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Geagichi:
Is not detecting the cable, on Windows 10 Device Manager It's with exclamation mark "USB-UART Controller" and Nokia PC Suite at it's last step when It's showing to connect your phone via DKU-5 cable it's not recognize it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fl0w:
You're probably missing an essential driver.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Geagichi:
Which one? And how do I know what's missing if Windows doesn't find any driver?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Azaze666:
go on device manager, check if some device is unrecognized, do properties, then on the third tab (that should be details) check Hardware ID, then copy the value that is on there and paste it on google. google will return the correct driver for you to install (theorically). Other approachs you can use are to use driver managers to install the driver, but honestly other people there will hate me for giving this suggestion, some example are: iobit driver booster, driver pack solution (i tried both and them work fine but well them have also their cons), also there are other tools, driver easy, and others, you can search online.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Geagichi:
USB\VID_6547&PID_0232 It's the Hardware ID, I've installed Driver Booster 11 Free and can't find it.

I've installed what I found it here : https://deviceinbox.com/drivers/1147-ark-rs323-usb-data-cable.html

and here https://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=1188718&auth=At82snaUidNtrCvtF7wFYmllar0f3+rewfY6ssl80ASHInSeX9TBHAZS+3we12virm+8x5xJQYcohiyotZ1x/GRXIyPnSgXDqUJGRYa6DEuRCV9bptkgsg/xQ8KrbxAK&frmist=1

ArkPioneer_1.9.0.0, arkmicro_427 respectively USB_Driver

I pointed these 3 files on the Windows update drivers, I run their installer as Administrator, I run them in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2, nothing happened.

I also installed Nokia Connectivity Adapter Cable DKU-5 Drivers and nothing happened still the phone is not connected.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Azaze666:
Had them got recognised on device manager at least?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Geagichi:
No, the cable is working because I used it to transfer files from the Nokia 3220 long time ago via Nokia PC Suite on Windows XP.
[Android Head-Units] Dc2migz:
So basically as you can see in these 3 images this is where i am at now.

My main issue was Zlink 5 android auto stopped working. So i resched out to the seller and he sent me a file which fixed zlink but then i noticed my audio was way weaker then it was prior to his update file and im guessing it has to do with the car audio being downgraded to B7.3.8 from it prior being B7.3.9 . I do not know what firmware i should be using or looking for because simple google searches do not show me any information on this so called (ANDROID D02022HA16_AHD_00012_V009_HIFI. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypedupmonkey:
Hey guys and girls,

I got my brand new X1i on an O2 contract today, ordered through the internet.

However, when switching it on, the first thing that stands out is the screen isn't all black. The upper right hand corner fades to like a dull greeny tinge as if its under pressure or something.

After fiddling around with it, it seems to be the backlight as in bright light, the colours all look fine and black is black. This is also the cause if the backlight is put at it's dullest, but it's most noticable when its at it's brightest.

Is this a issue with all Xperias or just mine?

And is this serious and worth contacting O2 about or will it be okay?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypedupmonkey:
BUMP.

Could anyone tell me simply if this is a common problem, if not, I'll ring O2 now.

A quick reply would be nice
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
I haven't seen it before and I haven't seen it reported before. If you think it looks out of the ordinary, too much to leave it be, you should indeed phone O2.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypedupmonkey:
Cheers, I shall call now ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Post a picture so we can compare and lets us know how it turned out, mkay? =]
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypedupmonkey:
Heres the best photos I can snap.

The first two don't really show it well, but the third is the best.

Trust me, when you first switch it on and the Sony Ericsson logo appears, the whole screen is black and that corner fades to that dull green colour. It stands out quite a bit, it's also noticable on the Panels screen.

If you have a dark photo showing, it can affect the colours on that too.

For such a pricey phone, I expect it to be flush black across the screen.

(They're big, so I left them as links. I left them big to show the detail)

Photo 3

I just got off the phone to O2, they get the phone from a third-party so I am expecting an email from them. The woman on the other end said, most likely they will swap it for a new handset at the door, or take it for repairs....but it will say in the email.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Ah, classic case of backlight bleeding. Send it back and you'll get a new one.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypedupmonkey:
Well, hopefully, before next week is out I shall. Just waiting for that elusive email, they said I should have received it by Monday.

Thank you for you're help, I appreciate it :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nippero:
There was a thread on this, some have it too.

I have it as well, black light bleeding. I dont really mind it much since I rarely notice it.

Ive decided to leave it alone since my X1 is unlocked and it'd be a massive hassle to send it away to SE.

I'm pretty sure its common. Even high end LCD TVs have the problem sometimes.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogans:
I had it on my first x1 (which I dropped and got a new through insurance), and I've also got it on my new x1.

However, I barely notice it, so I'm okay with it :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypedupmonkey:
I wouldn't mind so much if it was white but its a green colour, thats more annoying.

It's gonna get sorted anyway, most likely, they'll swap it at the door for a new one.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nico21:
I was looking for information about the SPB mobile shell and found this thread.

I also have this issue with the top right corner of the screen, especially when I switch the phone on (on the black startup screen with "experia" written in white).

After startup, I don't really notice the issue since this area of the screen is almost never black (except when switching panels and sometimes when watching videos, but it's hardly noticeable). I'm now wondering if I should return it or not, I got the phone on tuesday and already had to do a hard reset (and reinstall everything I had just installed before) because I couldn't send or receive text messages! I really hope this won't get any worse...

(My phone is a french version, and my carrier is SFR)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigo1087:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinode:
Yeah, don't mind it on startup - who watches it start up? :)

But I notice it when using the camera (in the black border) and

when switching panels, that's where it's annoying. :(

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_sheen:
yeaa, i got the same problem too. Went over to the sony ericsson centre and they don't have a clue what it was. They said they'll look into it, and thats it. No replacement.

Not happy :mad:

i live in indonesia by the way..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiflorin:
Mine too has the issue. Both upper corners are bleeding greenish. It's obvious when the screen is black, not only on start-up, all the time. For example, look at it when playing a movie trailer with really black scenes, it's there.

It has to do with the pixels, not the back-lighting, from what I understand of TFT functionality.

Remember the dead pixels issue on TFT screens? Well, the dead pixel means the transistor of at least one color out of the 3 (RGB) is dead, either locked closed or locked open (anyway, not being able to modulate the light intensity of the subpixel color), so the color is either missing or present at a fixed value, the overall color of the pixel not being the required one. In this case is an issue of mismatch of transistor parameters.

The GREEN pixels do not close completely to block the light. Being a progressive issue from one area to another, it's clear that the thin film transistors are progressively mismatched by the process errors. This is process error in the TFT technology (I work in microelectronics). The process masks can get errors (not the case here), or the masks are ok but the etching process is not properly adjusted. In my Xperia the bleeding gets progressive towards the corner, having a starting point like a center from where it spreads. That is because the etching involves chemicals and liquid flow to spread and cleanse those chemicals. My opinion is that the flow in the case of this particular TFT screen model is from the bottom to the upper side, where the upper corners are the bleeding areas for the chemicals and the effectiveness of cleansing is lower, combined with surface tension of the liquids. The transistors get progressively mismatched in parameters (beta factor) and since they all get driven with the same signal, they block the light less than the good ones. Nothing to do about it. Theoretically it might be possible to map out those pixels and provide a corrected voltage for the mismatched transistors (correction table in the GPU DAC ROM), but this is like tooth extraction through the ass hole (or replacing the spark plugs through the exhaust pipe). It's simpler to just get the ****ing screen right. Sorry guys, we are out of luck here. It seems the 800x480 3inch TFT's are not yet top quality, or at least the ones used by SE. I'm really frustrated that the manufacturer used a cheaper screen in a 600-800$ product. This is how a company can loose customers and get the image crumpled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TheFloatingBrain:
I am having issues backing up my S7. I was unable to set the phone to stop encrypting internal storage on my last attempt. Which leads me to wonder, since I know the pin/pattern to decrypt internal storage, that if I got a dump of internal storage, somehow, if I may be able to decrypt it and save my data!

I have heard the USA's TSA is able to pull data off of phones which I can only assume, that if they are off when you hand it too them, may have encrypted internal storage [1, 2, 3]. There also seems to be forensic software capable of this sort of thing. I don't know what the limits of this tech is, but it makes me wonder if I could pull off something similar (or even use this software or something similar onto my own device for recovery purposes.

So a couple of questions:

Does the S7 have a TPM? I imagine that the relatively short pattern/pin/etc. is hashed with a TPM key, or something, it could be a challenge if I cant retrieve it.

I read this blog post a few questions based on it:

A: This seems to be able to flash the engineering image without destroying the data

B: If we have had this leaked firmware, why does everyone say it is impossible to unlock the Qualcomm-model bootloader and install a custom ROM like Lineage OS?

C: Might this work with my phone in the bootlooping/crashing state described?

D: The blog post above seems to confirm there is some sort of "hardware backed TEE", I don't know if that is a TPM or not, and the pin is/might be, but say I had a dump of the internal memory on my computer, even if I know the pin/pattern (possibly taking into account (3) below) will I be able to decrypt the image? Is there a way that I can get the hashed key from the device (knowing the pattern/pin?)

I also came across some more open source acquisition tools (prefer not to use tools I don't have access to source code for, or from large companies who's goal is to obtain peoples personal data... or have to pay for), particularly Andriller seems like it might work but I am not sure I can do this with the state my phone is in or not (especially since I have the pin/pattern and don't have to guess it, I just want a cold dump)

Step 0, I think may be is just to get a dump of the encrypted internal storage (if I cant turn encryption off) does anyone have any idea how to do this with the phone in its bootlooping/crashing state without removing de-soldering memory and using, say, something like JTAG?

P.s is there a way to "live boot" the device without flashing it (and destroying the data on it)? Say its plugged in via usb to a computer, which has the image, and its an official signed ROM from the vendor?

P.s.s Is there a way to sort of keep the device "off" and extract the data, just have it plugged in, recieving power via usb connected to a computer, then have the computer extract the data?
[Android Head-Units] dodo6:
please, is it possible to set the dashcam connected to the 9260 android8 radio as native in android? I want to use Sygic RealView navi with a usb camera, but the only thing I officially found is that RealView works only with the built-in camera. It does not work with an external usb camera. I have root, I have android terminal. Android now sees the camera as storage. The camera is from an sd card, controlled by an application, powered by USB. Thank you
[Android Head-Units] m1nt1x:
I am also interested in this. Do you know if those dash cams act as generic USB cameras? I don't have access to my car atm but when I get to that I will check.
[Android Head-Units] dodo6:
no, I have confirmation that onboard DVR cameras do not work as usb cameras. they are separate devices controlled by the application. Sygic realview does not work with a usb camera, only with the built-in one
[Android Head-Units] m1nt1x:
So essentially we need a service to act as the DVR to get a video stream from the camera but then somehow send that video stream to the native camera android APIs? I don't know if I use the right terminology, I am not an Android developer, as I am sure you can tell.
[Android Head-Units] DizXDA83:
Try Magic Earth instead
[Android Head-Units] m1nt1x:
Why? I don't see it offering any of the features discussed in this thread?
[Android Head-Units] dodo6:
yes, you are basically right.
[Android Head-Units] dodo6:
no, I'm not looking for this, I don't offer realview. only sygic, and only the built-in camera (and I want to bypass this)
[Android Head-Units] Taeger:
I am looking for the same, as my china made android HU (for mercedes w204) does not have an internal camera, I have a front facing usb camera for accident recording installed next to the central rearmirror.

However Sygic does not recognize the USB camera for Real View navigation.

Have you found a solution?
[Android Head-Units] dodo6:
no, I haven't found a solution. I think that without an application written specifically for this request, I won't even find a solution. and the question is whether it would work. personally, I would replace the DVR with a usb camera connected to HU, but sygic only supports built-in. alas, my skills do not extend there
[Android Head-Units] DizXDA83:
u can always try other APP like Magic earth its a very reliable GPS APP and it has camera record function. Try it
