I have tried some things in recovery, you can access ADB but it is limited to sideloading images from my understanding.

What is the rescue you are referring to? I am not familiar with this.

I agree you should not disable things you do not know about, it turns out from further investigation the systemui app was unintentionally disabled. With ADB App Control, it gives you a GUI to click on apps to modify/disable. There was apparently a checkmark on systemui when I was disabling aasaservice. Since i did not know this, systemui got disabled and I lost ADB auth on reboot so I could not re enable it again. I only found out this happened from looking at the log in ADB app control after this whole mess.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] max366:
You are 100% correct, com.samsung.aasaservice has nothing to do with it.

com.android.systemui was disabled and this I can guarantee is the problem. Its hard to run a phone without a UI!

This happened because I was using ADB App Control that gives you a GUI to select and modify multiple apps at the same time. I thought I only had com.samsung.aasaservice selected but somewhere along the way com.android.systemui got selected before I clicked the disable button. I usually only do one app at a time for these potential problems but somehow the UI app snuck in there this time :( the only way I found this out was reviewing the logs for ADB App control.

I am also certain a factory reset from recovery will solve this but before I do that, do you have any suggestions on pulling data? There are some pictures that are not backed up that I would prefer to keep if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Oops. I've used Package Disabler for years but its gotten to be a true pain. Will migrate to adb edits eventually. PD doesn't allow packages that will crash the system to be disabled. It never cost me a factory reset but has the potential to.

If you can't access the phone with the PC sounds like a dead horse. Maybe someone has a better plan. Invariably crashes usually cause some data lose. Using an unencrypted SD card as the data drive can help lessen loses. One reason I still run N10+'s.

Next time full backups before you do stuff like that or any firmware upgrades/updates. Multiple copies on hdds that physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Time staggering of some the copies is a good plan too in case a trojan, etc goes nutz on you.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] max366:
Yes, I will be doing safety back ups from now on even for the simple things! I wish we still had external SDs for this very thing, it just drives me crazy they took that away!

Interestingly enough, I found an unexpected way into the phone and was able to disable the lock screen and then get access to the files on my PC! I will post the process for others in the future in the off chance this happens to them after i get done transferring my data.

Appreciate your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you have PC access maybe you can repair it by undoing the adb edit.

I use .5tb flash memory thumb drives for quick backups. Easy to carry if you want additional storage space.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] max366:
Solution:

If you are stuck in the "phone is starting state" with the progress bar at the bottom because your systemui was disabled or damaged the following may work to gain access to your phone and data. I was never able to regain ADB access.

1. While on the home screen with the phone is starting message pull your s pen, push the s pen button and select the text phone is starting.

2. After selecting the text, click share, this will cause an app to crash and pop up a window that asks for you to close the app or wait for the app to respond. In this window, do NOT click close or wait, choose to view app info. (this step may take a couple tries of selecting text and clicking share before crashing)

3. You should now be able to see the app info and permissions. Click on the notification permission and select the option to see all apps with this permission. This will take you to a list of all apps with the notification permission.

4. Scroll to find the settings app and select it.

5. At the bottom of the screen for the settings app, you should see an option to "open app", click this and you will now be in your settings menu.

6. Here in the settings you can do anything you normally would. I chose to remove the lock screen to allow access to the files. I still needed to enter my pin to remove the lock screen.

I did go to the systmeui app and try to re enable it through the app settings menu but it would not allow me to enable it, I am guessing this is because it is classed as a system app and has to be done through ADB

This is about as far as I went, I wanted to make sure I could back get my data and restore before I lost the ability to do anything. The concerning part is that I was able to get all the way into the settings menu AND turn on/off developer options /network settings (full access to the settings menu) without ever entering a pin or unlocking the phone. Though I could enable usb debugging in the developer options, I never could get an authorization window to pop up when connecting to my pc.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
You know more about this than myself. If you disable an app at start up (what PD does) it won't start at boot or be available to use.

Did you try safe mode?

I doubt it will work but it's a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] max366:
I did try safe mode, it is still disabled there unfortunately.

Before wiping and restoring i have been playing more to look for a solution to bring systemui back. I installed nova launcher try to get functionality back. This allows everything to come back except for system level things such as the home/back buttons and the notification bar at the top of the screen. I'm playing around to see if i can get the allow access notification to pop back up in some way to enable systemui through ADB again.

If the July update would ever drop, I would install that to see if it brings systemui back since it is a system app. I might leave my phone in this state for a few days to see if the update would fix it. I have my trusty OP7 phone that I am using in the meantime!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's tough nut to crack. Try some Gookill searches, you can't be the first.

Good Lock app family> Notistar and One Handed Operation plus.

They might give you more options. If they're are dependancies though of that disable app it likely will fail. Nothing to lose.

One handed Operation plus is a great app, I use its side gestures to navigate, home, back, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] max366:
Good idea, I am going to play with this!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] liggerz87:
Stupid question did you try WiFi appdebug mode maybe that could help but I think getting the pin would be a problem
[Magisk] IlyrichBarkovna10:
Hey:

I've been tasked with getting photos off a deceased loved-one's (depression suicide) phone and no one knows the passwords to the phone (some android, possibly a samsung, I haven't seen it yet). I'm trying to figure out if there are ways to access this phone without destroying the files.

If I can't access the phone simply by connecting it to my computer I was thinking about trying magisk to get past the phone environment. I have checked nearly ALL magisk apks on github and they ALL contain malware.

Is there a clean magisk apk residing on someone's device I can download? Am I completely wrong about trying to use magisk to access a locked phone? Is it possible to turn on developer options through ADB? Will I need developer options?

I'm not a coder or android engineer or anything, merely a "fiddler" at best. We are hoping to access photos of our loved-one.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Magisk] EllieCat:
I’m so sorry for your loss

There are many ways to unlock a phone instead of using a Magisk Module. The phone’s brand can also be found on the back or inside of it.
[Magisk] allday5850:
You said that ALL Magisk APKs off of GitHub contained Malware? Even off of John Wu's repo? How did you determine that they were infected with malware? Tbh depending on what you used to come to this conclusion, just the nature of Magisk itself, it could be considered malware in its entirety because of what it's used for.

If that were true it would be pretty disturbing. Considering it's the official repo for Magisk.
[Magisk] NOSS8:
If there is a password all the data is encrypted, there is no way to recover it, check if there have been backups on a cloud but you still need to have the identifiers to connect to it.
[Magisk] cabagekiller:
Eh there is a way to recover it. But we are talking a lot of money.
[Magisk] daveo76:
Only way I know is to take it to your local recovery centre. Which would cost a lot. But it your only option you have
[Magisk] daveo76:
Only way I know is to take it to your local recovery centre. Which would cost a lot. But it your only option.
[Magisk] NOSS8:
All such a center can do is unlock the phone by erasing the data.
[Magisk] daveo76:
I've heard before it can recover data from a locked phone.
[Magisk] NOSS8:
Recovering encrypted data or nothing is the same.
[Magisk] IlyrichBarkovna10:
Thanks. The phone is a rather busted up Galaxy s10 and I can only get to the "downloading" screen to which there is no way to reach bootloader options. "FRP lock" is on, that's about all the useful information I can get from this particular screen.

Is there a way to turn on developer options through ADB? If I can do that I can at least recover any images there might be left. The phone doesn't show up on my computer because ADB can't access it; if it could I could try Autopsy; I can't afford Cellebrite, especially just for old family photos.

Any further help would be appreciated.
[Magisk] NOSS8:
"Is there a way to turn on developer options through ADB?"

Nope.

[Samsung Galaxy A72] Cucuzacu:
Hi guyz! I changed my phone a month ago and an app that I used a lot on my old device no longer works on this one. I tried recompiling it, but it didn't work. Pls help me! Thx
[Samsung Galaxy A72] Renate:
There's not a lot of info here.

Are the old apps 32 bit and the new phone 64 bit only?

Does this app have any libs in it?

What does ADB logcat say when you try to install/run it?
[Samsung Galaxy A72] Cucuzacu:
the adb said an error something about a class file that was not found
[Samsung Galaxy A72] Renate:
With that precise and verbatim report of the error, I can definitively say that the problem had something to do with something not found. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy A72] Cucuzacu:
i tried also changing the sdk version in androidmanifest.xml, but the app still didn't work...
[Samsung Galaxy A72] Cucuzacu:
i know that the old phone ran android 5 and it also said the warning that the app is old and may not work well but it worked fine. this phone has android 14 and only a few of my old apps still work...
[Samsung Galaxy A72] Renate:
Error messages are important.

Your paraphrasing them does not lead to a resolution of this issue.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palalelox:
The other day I had a desire to “revive” my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7.0 tablet. GT-P3100. For a long time I could not decide which firmware to use. I previously used crDroid 6.0. and was disappointed with the results: the tablet had difficulty simply scrolling through tabs on the home screen. Later I came across one opinion, the essence of which was that maximum performance can be obtained by using Samsung JellyBean, which supports Trim. So, can you explain what the Trim function is and how to use it, as well as whether it’s a good idea to flash the tablet this way. Or maybe there are other options for firmware and other settings? I'd just like to get it to work fine in the browser :)

UPD: By the way, who used Lineage OS 14.1, how is the performance on it?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0_Clover:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palalelox:
ok, if I refuse to use them, what firmware do you recommend?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palalelox:
I'm just wondering on which firmware you can get maximum performance with gapps and without them
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0_Clover:
omni 6 and orion os run good for me
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drnightshadow:
Anything newer wont work with gapps well, laggish as h3ll, read useless. You can try ResurrectionRemix 6 ROM with OC kernel. But still, gapps will give always lagged or pure performance. It's prehistoric device.

And who is using gapps this days anyway? Seriously in 2024 after we learned about spyware, adware, trackers,.loggers, data minings, etc?

Learning tip: it's not firmware but ROMs!!

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Lord Raiden:
I get 6 to 9 hrs of SoT based on usage. Performance is really good. It doesn't have a good Custom ROM support. There are a few active developments.

about corvus os?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Lord Raiden:
Don't know.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] x3r0.13urn:
Corvus has been long hiatus, not sure if it will come back.

Active development is mostly posted in telegram, not in here.

Like there's news that official CrDroid + EvoX maintainer has left the dev, it's only on telegram.

The second hand of this device is sold even lower than second hand Poco X5 Pro, I'd say, it's still better choice.

But if you buy as a new device? I'd say pass, save more money to buy eg. Poco F6. Hopefully it will gain more development later.

Most active development now is Poco F5, even F3 is starting to get abandoned.

But android 12 works fine(but without working modem, scanner and gyroscope).

[Android Auto General] uwegerlich:
Hey,

I'm from Germany and recently got a new Ford Mustang Mach-E GT (EV). It supports Android Auto both via cable and wireless. However, YouTube and other video functions are not supported.

I would like to use the time while the vehicle is charging to watch videos on YouTube or Jellyfin. Using it while driving is not intended. So far, I have tried various apps with KingInstaller, but without success. I then thought that one of these AA Wireless Dongles might help, but my research indicated otherwise.

Now I am wondering if it would make sense to root an old smartphone to enable these functions. I have the following Galaxy models available: A5 2016, S7 Edge (live demo unit), S9 (non-Snapdragon version), S10+.

Best regards,

Uwe
[Android Auto General] uwegerlich:
No one?
[Android Auto General] brianthangathurai:
I think that even if you root your phone you need other apps like Fermata Auto to play Youtube or other Streaming.

I have AA Wireless and via the Developer Setting I'm able to stream on Android Auto while being on Android 14.

Please read these options presented by the developer of Fermata Auto.

You can root an older phone, but in my opinion AA Wireless does the job as well for now.
[Android Auto General] honeybuns:
This is what you need. You can use it to visit any website. I often watch or listen to videos on YouTube of course, but also, X, Rumble, etc., you can use it to scroll some websites too. YouTube works perfectly on galaxy s20 ultra and galaxy s21 ultra. No update has killed this app for me. You might need to download AAAD and download it from there if you run into problems but it should work pretty damn good.

Edit: services that block screen sharing aren't going to work. Like Hulu, Netflix, and those types of subscription things.

I wanted to add that the trick I use to easily navigate to other sites is to copy the link on my phone, open CarStream, bookmark it. It'll appear in your saved section on AA, just restart android auto if you added something while you're connected to your head unit and not seeing an update. Let me know if it works for ya!

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nanoumax2:
I've got a huge battery drain for 2-3 days and I don't know why. It's not an app problem but I think the processor is the cause of that...

Normally I had around 2h of SOT when it left 50% now it's only 50 minutes max....

The charging time became also very long, 3h from 30 to 100%

Could you help me please?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Prof. Yaffle:
I've had the same for a few days. Struggling to fully charge and really hot. I ended up disabling most of my installed apps and re-enabling them one by one. It turned out to be WhatsApp in my case. There's a newer version on APKmirror than the one offered from the PlayStore. That fixed it for me
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nanoumax2:
Ok thanks for you reply, so I am going to try with whatsapp first !
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Prof. Yaffle:
The version I updated it to is 2.24.14.74. Oddly it wasn't showing as excessively high use in Settings. I even tried Battery Guru and it didn't show up as high there either.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kingpeppermint:
If you go to settings battery and then something like view battery usage you get an list of apps organized by battery usage, will probably make it easier to identify the culprit. I have had it with whatsapp at random it stopped at random too after rebooting.

but a last years i also had it with the ''google framework'' which was solved by clearing the google play cache data etc.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Prof. Yaffle:
That's where I checked and it wasn't showing as excessive at all. It was definitely WhatsApp thoughfor me. It was even causing the phone to stutter really badly. I thought it was my kernel at first but through a process of elimination I figured it out.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nanoumax2:
I've just downloaded this version. I'll see today if it's better.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nanoumax2:
Its's what I've done first but there's no abnormal value, that's why it's difficult to solve this problem
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nanoumax2:
The problem is still there. I've charged the phone and it took 1h from 50 to 60%.... I've updated WhatsApp, map's, Google, so they aren't the cause apparently
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Prof. Yaffle:
I'm not sure then. I use Swift Backup which allows you to disable apps so I disabled just about everything and then gradually enabled them one by one to find the culprit.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nanoumax2:
The problem is still there. I've charged the phone and it took1h from 50 to 60%.... I've updated WhatsApp, map's, Google, so they aren't the cause apparently
