that is very nice program, has a few bugs still, but worth keeping an eye on.

still looking for a command line, powershell, bat or bash option.

(since that app can do it it should be possible with adb)

something that when run will always "copy /sdcard/Documents to e:\backup"

when connected.

then i can build a script to run when ever adb is connected.

There are three adb based sync tools that I've used in the past:

1. adbsync.exe: https://xdaforums.com/t/adbsync-exe-win32-command-line-syncer.2133312/

2. ADBsync sdcard Backup: see section Misc./Batch Tools in https://xdaforums.com/t/tools-zips-scripts-osm0sis-odds-and-ends-multiple-devices-platforms.2239421/

3. better-adb-sync: https://github.com/jb2170/better-adb-sync

But for the past few years I've been using rsync as this gives me a lot more flexibility (I run it in Termux). But it requires having SSH installed on the PC.

Hi @nutzfreelance.

What about "adb pull"?

See https://developer.android.com/tools/adb#copyfiles
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nutzfreelance:
pull is quite limited.

but adbsync.exe

and

have a lot of interesting possibilities with a little scripting.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
Now I have a tablet without knowing its manufacturer. Here are the details:

Processor: Unisoc Spreadtrum T610

RAM: 4GB

Storage: 64GB

Screen: 10.1” with 1920x1200 resolution

Stock OS: Android 10

Model: YCXY-QC01(a.k.a. Q10 learning tablet)

Motherboard: ums512_1h10

Other: Type-C, Bluetooth, SD card, WiFi, non-NFC, non-LTE.

As you see, it’s a “learning tablet” from China (where I live in). It means that the tablet has a fully customized OS which usually provided more limits, such as can’t open files, customized home app and inaccessible settings application.

However, I finally cracked it and booted an Android 14 GSI on it. But now I got another problem. Because the boot.img that patched by magisk can’t pass the boot verification, this tablet was bricked. What worse, it’s manufacturer refused to provide me it’s firmware. Actually I don’t even know whether it’s manufacturer is OnionAcademy or Hisense.

Now my question is: Can I backup it’s firmware from another same tablet using SPD research tools without a stock PAC file? If I can, then I can flash the backuped file to the bricked one. Or does anyone can find its firmware PAC file?

Note: For Chinese users, if you have the same tablet that I have (洋葱学园Q10学习平板 in Chinese), can you please lend it to me?

Or can you find the same one and provide me? It’s worthy!

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
If you have another one of the same tablet, you can dump (or backup) it's firmware, but not using Research download. There are other tools for that, like CM2SPD, Miracle box (no dongle version), etc. After you dump the firmware, you can pack it into a .PAC file and flash it to the tablet using ResearchDownload.

Also, did you unlock the bootloader before flashing the GSI and/or the magisk patched boot image? It will only fail the boot verification if the bootloader is locked, and if it's unlocked, it just SKIPS it. That's how it works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
Can you tell me how to use them (CM2SPD and MiracleBox) to backup please? I'm not familiar to these tools. I can only afford one extra tablet and I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BRICK IT AGAIN.

By the way, I actually unlocked bootloader. But the thing is, it can only enter fastboot via 'adb reboot bootloader', which means it needs to normal boot to android before enter fastboot. When trying different key combinations, I can only enter autoloader mode. That's why I can't fastboot it but can easily connect it to PC using SPD Tools. After flashed patched boot.img, it stuck at the alert "Lock state is: UNLOCK. Your device now can't be trusted." and I can't skip it anyway.

My biggest question is I don't have a stock FDL1&2, so I'm not sure if I could dump its firmware.

Thank you.

Edited: I found this https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21776.html . It seems can be a solution. But I'm still worrying about the FDL.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
How can I run CM2SPD and MiracleBox without a dongle?

Isn't it necessary?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
No actually. There are many versions and cracks which don't require a dongle. I've tried them, and they worked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
Miracle Box doesn't have a latest cracked build. When I run the 3.40 version, it forced me to update or I can't use it.

Some older versions can run, but doesn't contain my SoC (Tiger T610).

CM2SPD seems out-dated and doesn't contain my SoC either.

Any other solutions? Thx.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Maybe try CM2SP2? It has more SoCs. You need to click the "read" option to dump the firmware. Also, if miracle box forced you to update, you can try it again after turning off internet on the PC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
I just thought of something, if you have another tablet (or someone lends one to you), you can root it (with pre-rooted GSI, not magisk) and dump the fdl. Then you have to find another one of the same tablet and backup it's firmware using research download. You will need 3 of the SAME tablet in this case.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
How about this Spreadtrum Flash tool?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
I looked at it too, but it also requires a valid FDL.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
I think if I have another tablet I can use pre-rooted GSI to directly backup its firmware via adb. The new device is still on the way. I don't think I can afford one another device :(

Actually I flashed a pre-rooted GSI, but it only provides adb access. That's why I tried magisk and accidentally bricked it.

However, I don't know the specific partition.

Really thank you for your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
The thing is, I flashed the pac file of other products which has the same properties. It's ALLDOCUBE Smile X. They are really similar that I mistakenly thought they are the same model. Unfortunately they aren't. But UpgradeDownload can use it's FDL to flash. Is that means I can use its FDL instead?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Yeah you can just use the tablet with the pre-rooted GSI to backup the firmware. I thought you needed the stock ROM. I misunderstood.

You can look in the folder /dev/block/by-name folder for FDL partition. If you can find it, you can use ADB to get root and type dd if=/dev/block/by-name/fdl1 of=/sdcard/fdl.img in the shell.

They are usually device specific, but you can try it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
Great. I will try this as soon as I got my new device.

I don't care if I got the stock firmware or not. The most important is I can unbrick my device.

If I get the FDL then can I just use Research Download?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Yes, you can. ResearchDownload needs the FDL to backup the firmware as a .pac file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
Another problem...

I cracked it, unlocked it’s bootloader, and flashed the same GSI as the bricked one used. Then reboot. But...it stuck at boot animation. No bootloop, just kept loading.

I tried reboot and I realized it can’t enter either recovery or fastboot or SPD auto loader. Though the hardware are same, this one must has a kind-of-different firmware.

Now it is soft bricked. How can I fix it?

I think it was a userdata problem but fastboot has already cleared that partition. Or it’s a encryption problem? I noticed the stock system was encrypted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
It may can enter autoloader, but the bricked one just need to keep pressing Power and VolUP. The new one may need to connect to SPD Tools first. Currently I can’t access my computer, I’ll try later.

Edited: Before I flashed gsi it can get into recovery. But the recovery only provides 2 options, Reboot and Poweroff. Kind of useless, right? That is the fragmentation of android devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
Any solutions？
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Maybe try backing up that tablet's firmware using the FDL from the alldocube smile x, then flashing it to the other tablet? I'm afraid I won't be able to help you if it still bootloops, and I don't know why others aren't replying to this thread!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asakura hatsuyuki:
Unisoc devices have quite a few documents. I don’t want to use them any more.

Nonetheless, the golden ages of ROM flashing have already ended up.

Anyway, thank you for your efforts.

[Redmi Note 12 4G] FishFrisstTisch:
Phone: Redmi Note 12.

First i unlocked the bootloader, then i wanted to root my phone.

I followed this tutorial:

while choosing a newer version of android still for my device. (the website in the video doesnt work anymore, so i went to https://xmfirmwareupdater.com/ and picked a version for my phone (the tutorial said it doesnt matter if its 5g or not). I tried to pick the correct build number, but that didn't exist anywhere, so i just chose android 13 (my device uses android 14).

I did everything as the tutorial said & it went all okay.

Now after step 6, to reboot, my phone is stuck on the "Mi logo - powered by android" screen.

I don't know what to do! Is my phone bricked or can i rescue it?

Thanks for any help!

[Redmi Note 12 4G] K.Hatake:
Check this thread
[Redmi Note 12 4G] FishFrisstTisch:
I fixed the problem. I had a wrong rom downloaded, even tho the tutorial said otherwise. If you are stuck, use fastboot and try to download an exact copy of the rom for your phone. It is okay to use recovery versions. Use the xiaomi flash tool, if it gives an error "failed (error reading sparse file)", still try to boot. For me it went in the mi recovery and i could wipe all data and it worked.

Hi, i'm an raven user and I'm experiencing a bug that pissed me off, the telephoto doesn't work in video on the camera app (no matter if it's 4k30), besides in other apps like social media works, i thought that it was a software camera bug but i prove changing rom, factory reset, flashing vendors, and no one working yet, I'm not sure if it's a hardware bug because the telephoto works properly in the native camera (only photos) and third party apps (instagram, snapchat), also i found a cinema app that allows me to recording with the shift of lens but only on 1080p, other apps like Open Camera does it but when i start to recording and i zoom in it doesn't work, hope that someone could help me with that :/

I haven't rooted for a few years now, was happily using my 5a with A11 until it decided to brick itself a few weeks ago like the 5a's apparently like to do, bad soldering I guess. ‌ Of course Google knew about this but informed no one. ‌ Oh well, at least they were kind enough to replace it with a 6a, i guess, but would not let me put a deposit for advance replacement and pay for overnight shipping, instead made me wait 2 damn weeks for standard~ replacement. ‌ What a bunch of jerks. ‌ This is what happens after 2 weeks without a smart phone:

Anyway, so much has happened in a few years and here I am with a shiny 6a with A13 waiting to be freed from its shackles. ‌ I see a couple How-To's here but they seem outdated, TechX1991 literally tells us, and G5-User7080's is talking about June 2022 patch, but this has Sept 5, 2022 Android security update and Jul 1, 2022 Google Play system update. ‌ Hope I can help update the guides and not brick the device. ‌ Where to begin?

I posted this in another thread about a week ago, but I think it applies here:

In addition, there's also the issue of RCS not working at all unless you are stock with locked bootloader. (Note that RCS in the Messages app settings says "Connected" but it doesn't actually work.) Not sure if you use RCS, but it's something to consider, additional to what I posted above last week.
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
Make sure your using the latest play integrity fix module.
[Google Pixel 6a] buzzywuzzy:

Better check that Play Integrity Fix thread again.... Things changed dramatically for RCS and Play Integrity, starting about 48 hours ago. (Read from this point until present):

xdaforums.com

Generally speaking, if you're not keeping on top of what's happening in that thread *at least* on a daily basis, then you'll quickly fall behind, be out of the loop, and very likely either not pass device integrity or have other features broken. Sometimes things even change by the hour or minute.

EDIT to add: Note that a green "Connected" status for RCS in Messages settings means *absolutely nothing*.... For almost everyone who has a broken RCS, the status is a green "Connected." Yet they can't send RCS messages and their incoming RCS messages get dropped.... They don't even fall back to SMS, which makes this particularly bad. People have missed important work and personal messages because they thought RCS was "Connected."
[Google Pixel 6a] buzzywuzzy:
What an absolute travesty. What is even the REASON for making RCS reliant on passing Play Integrity or anything else? How does rooted devices having access to RCS threaten Google in the slightest? With this and the fact that Play Integrity keeps having random things clamp down like all ROMs needing to be signed now, it feels like rooting and custom ROMs are on their way out the door...😔
[Google Pixel 6a] Lughnasadh:
According to Google it's to prevent spam and abuse and to ensure registered phones follow RCS' "operating measures".
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
Hmm...funny how goog clamps down on RCS about the same time as apple starts using rcs too...go figure. :cautious:
[Google Pixel 6a] buzzywuzzy:
Yeah, I read about it. Sounds like total BS to me. There's nothing a rooted phone could do with a cellular connection that a Windows laptop with a SIM card couldn't do that would threaten "security". I heard it's not even just root, having an unlocked bootloader that's detected shadowbans you from RCS as well apparently. Even if you manage to hide both root and an unlocked bootloader, it's a never ending cat and mouse chase. I wouldn't even bother rooting if they hadn't adopted so many stupid new mandates since Android 11. Can't access save files for games without jumping through a million hoops to find a file manager that can access /data/data/ folders. Still can't backup everything on the device and restore it at will, only during initial setup and even then it doesn't backup non-playstore apps or lots of app data. On stock android, you still can't even move the clock from the left side back to the right side where it was for more than a decade, only on Samsung I believe. And now, lo and behold, you can't have RCS on a Custom ROM even if it isn't rooted...smh.
[Google Pixel 6a] mmead1143:
The RCS issue is a real shame - the whole identity of Android use to be customization and having devs add value to the user. Those days are gone.
[Google Pixel 6a] scarlion:
Yeah RCS seems to be havin other issues across the board.‌ ‌ Like my friend on T-mobile who hasn't rooted or modified his device says RCS hasn't worked since March, which is when it stopped working for me until i figured out this PIF BS. ‌ Then read recently, I think in one of chiteroman's github issues, that Google did something to break RCS! ‌ How can I test RCS to know when it is working or not?

Also need a solution to access /sdcard/Android/data and subdirs. ‌ The issues I have surrounding that confuse me as to what the real problem is. ‌ For example, I have an app which needs to open a file there (within its com.foo.app subdir). ‌ When I had A11, the mode on data was 771 (rwxrwx--x). ‌ I would always have to use X-plore to to add o+r so the mode was 775 (rwxrwxr-x), which reverted back to 771 every day or something. ‌ I also had the documentsui Files app disabled, so a very basic file chooser loaded instead which allowed access to /sdcard/Android/data and that app's com.foo.app subdir. ‌ This works fine in A14.

However, now I have a new app which crashes when documentsui Files app is disabled and I need to use a file chooser. ‌ It won't use the basic file picker like the other app, which leads me to think its implementation of choosing a file is buggy and a problem. ‌ For this app to work, the documentsui Files app has to be enabled.

However, with documentsui Files enabled, my first app will use that as the file chooser, but it refuses to show me the data subdir within /sdcard/Android/ and instead only shows /sdcard/Android/media even when data's mode is 775. ‌ Now, I'm a Linux sysadmin for work but wtf has Google done to this filesystem or its application to break things like this??

What would be nice, is if I could leave documentsui Files enabled but actually be given a choice of which file manager to use whenever an app is wanting me to open a file. ‌ I see many others out there writing about using the "Set defaults" setting within the explorer apps, but that doesn't work here either and documentsui Files will always be used. ‌ What gives?

Sorry if that explanation is too long and annoying haha maybe this question would be better for a new thread instead of here... maybe in the General section? ‌ Thx
