I mean after I get someone else's qcn backup file, I will modify the IMEI contained in the file to the original IMEI of my watch and flash in, and what I am missing now is a qcn file, so I came here to ask for help and see if I can find someone else's backup file.

Also,In China,There's a thing called "portable WIFI"This kind of thing is generally equipped with Qualcomm chips,Equipped with Android or Debian system,And in order to use China's IoT card,Those who have portable WIFI will often back up their qcn file,And then modify IMEI,And flash in,This is a little similar to what I want to do,Because I also need a qcn file of the same model,Modify the IMEI contained in this file and re-flash it
[Amazfit] Whereiskenko:
Make a backup copy of your firmware and send it to me please.

I need to understand how to solve this issue on my device! When I succeed. I'll tell you how to restore imei
[Amazfit] Whereiskenko:
There are only 4 simple steps.

1) Install root (done)

2) download qcn (done)

3) Restore imei

4) Restore qcn on your device

I'm stuck at stage 3 because I have 0 imei and I can't decipher its location in the file

I'm very sorry, I may not be able to complete it in a few days, because I am a junior high school student, on June 22nd, I will take a entrance exam that means a lot to me, and now it is only a few days until June 22nd, I still have a lot of academic work to complete, and I may not have much time to back up my watch, but I will do it as soon as possible, thank you very much

By the way, how did you root your watch, I thought a lot of methods didn't work
[Amazfit] Whereiskenko:
The only way to root at the moment is Magisk
[Amazfit] LTY-XM-WPAC:

If you have already given the watch root access, you can use the command in the following file to try to make the watch enter Diag mode and use QFIL to back up the qcn file of the watch and modify it, but I am still stuck in the first step, my watch has not been rooted, I have tried many methods, but it does not work

View attachment 6111497

I have a Realme C11 (2021) which has a 64 bit cpu architecture running a 32 bit OS. Is it possible to change my device OS from 32 bit to 64 bit?

I searched for a custom rom for my device but unfortunately did not find anything. Would a 64 bit GSI work?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
No, it is not possible to change your Realme C11 (2021) device OS from 32 bit to 64 bit through software methods. Here's why:

Hardware Limitations:

While your Realme C11 (2021) CPU supports 64-bit architecture, the device itself likely doesn't have the hardware components necessary to run a 64-bit OS. This could include things like memory controllers or drivers that are specifically designed for 32-bit operations.

Software Compatibility:

Even if you could install a 64-bit OS, it might not function correctly on your device. The 32-bit OS is designed to work with the specific hardware and drivers in your Realme C11 (2021). A 64-bit OS might not have the necessary drivers or compatibility to function properly.
[General Questions and Answers] AshLunatic:
My question really boils down to:

If the device is similar enough, can a fastboot driver for one device also work with another, or are there heavy dependencies on the hardware? What exactly are the critical components (hardware or communication protocol-wise) that separate whether a device is able to use a fastboot interface driver or not? Thanks again.

Context:

I've got an old Nextbook Ares 10 (Model: NXA101LTE116), that I've been trying to play around with, but I'm pretty novice when it comes to all things operating system-wise. Finding drivers and TWRP .img files that are device specific has been just shy of impossible, since it seems Nextbook wasn't a very widely supported or noteworthy device when everyone was installing custom ROMs back in the day. This meant that when booting into the bootloader and using the command "fastboot devices" from my PC's commandline terminal yielded a blank output, as my PC didn't recognize my Nextbook

Because of this, I decided to try installing a different device driver (Specifically a Asus Fastboot Interface driver) to see if it would allow me to access fastboot functionalities. Lo and behold "fastboot devices" returned a value that corresponded with my Nextbook. However, when I try to unlock the bootloader so I can start doing the really cool stuff, "fastboot oem unlock" returns "FAILED (remote: 'unknown OEM command')" and "fastboot flashing unlock" just gets stuck on a blank output until I abort the task. I also tried "fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" to check the status of my bootloader but it just gets stuck on a blank output there too.

I'm assuming this is all because I'm not using the proper drivers since it should be obvious that Asus and Nextbook use very different hardware and chipsets to communicate with an external device, but despite the limited information I've provided it would be nice to get a rock solid "Yes" or "No" on whether or not this is a definitive issue. Also, I would be immensely grateful if anyone could share or point me in the direction where I could find fastboot drivers that would work with the Nextbook Ares 10 series. Thanks again in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Here's a summary of the key factors affecting Fastboot driver compatibility:

1. Bootloader Unlocking:

Some devices allow unlocking the bootloader via Fastboot. The driver must support this feature.

2. Device Vendor Implementation:

Even if using the same chip, phone manufacturers can add customizations that require specific Fastboot driver tweaks.

3. Generic vs. Manufacturer Specific Fastboot Drivers:

Generic Fastboot drivers might work with many devices based on the protocol, while manufacturer-specific Fastboot drivers might offer better compatibility for a particular device.

4. USB Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID):

Each device has a unique VID and PID combination. Fastboot drivers recognize devices based on these IDs. If two devices share the same VID and PID, a single Fastboot driver can work for both.

I have gone through extensive research on this phone, desperately trying to find a way to get TWRP, because i want LineageOS instead of GalaxyOS, I have ensured that Knox is not tripped, I flashed the OS again tonight just to be sure, but OEM unlocking will not appear in my settings, can someone help me with this issue?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
That's a common situation after reflashing a stock ROM. The "OEM unlocking" option being grayed out or missing with your phone indicates the phone knows it's unlocked but the setting itself is disabled. Here are a some reasons why this might happen

1. Security Measure: Some manufacturers might intentionally disable or hide the "OEM unlocking" option in the settings after flashing a stock ROM. This is a security measure to prevent accidental re-locking, which could potentially brick the device.

2. Incomplete Flash: In some cases, the stock ROM flashing process might not be complete, leaving some remnants that prevent the setting from showing correctly.

Some people told me that this is because the latest version 149

So how can I downgrade?

Or there are any fix?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Hendrix7:
Some system apps by Android or the smartphone vendors can usually not be hidden.

Is there any modification to enforce hiding those notifications?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IMO depends on Android version:

Android 11 and Above: These versions offer more granular control over app notifications. You can long-press on a notification and choose options like "Silent" or "Turn off notifications" to suppress them for that specific app (including system apps).

Android 10 and Below: Earlier versions might have limited options for system app notifications. You might be able to disable all notifications for an app, but this would include important notifications as well.
[General Questions and Answers] Hendrix7:
I know, but some system apps do not let me disable their notification. The switch is greyed out.

Is there anything a rooted user can do to get rid of them?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Yes, as a rooted user, you have more options to silence persistent system app notifications.

There exist root-enabled notification control apps that offer more granular control compared to non-rooted options. These apps can access system files and configurations to potentially block notifications from any app, including system apps.

You also can do it via ADB:

adb shell "pm revoke <package_name> android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"

[General Questions and Answers] bdr127:
I'm using a (rooted) Pixel 6 with the latest Android update (A14, May 2024). I have a Google One subscription and backup turned on, which includes backing up device settings, call history, SMS/MMS, photos/videos, and apps (and their data/settings), etc to Google Drive. I also use Swift Backup to back up my call history, SMS/MMS, and apps + data/settings to both a local copy on my phone and to a Linux server on my home network via SFTP. (In addition, everything on the server's drives are then backed up locally via UrBackup and also online to Crashplan.) When it comes to backing up, I like redundancy. :p Recently while manually backing up with Swift Backup, I happened to notice that there were significantly more apps getting backed up by Swift Backup than by Google One....

In Android 12, Google added the android:allowBackup attribute in the application element of the Android manifest. By default, it is set to true, letting the app participate in backup/restore. If the developer explicitly sets it to false, then no backup/restore is allowed.

I transferred the base.apk of many non-backed up apps from /data/app/ to my computer and decompiled them, looking to inspect the Android manifest for that attribute. A surprising number were set explicitly to false.

Most of these were somewhat understandable: apps where settings/info are connected to an existing online account (e.g. Firefox, Uber, UPS, etc), so logging in via the app backs up/restores the app's data; also, apps with sensitive, secure data they don't want exposed in an online backup (e.g. Google Wallet).

Some of these were a bit baffling, as I can't understand why the developer(s) would go out their way to block backups (e.g. Plex streaming media app, QuickEdit, Logitech Harmony app for universal remote controls). Maybe there's a reason that I'm not seeing. Regardless, if they want to protect the data, then Android documentation recommends encryption with their cryptography guidelines. At the very least, they could just exclude certain files or directories from backup in an xml file via the android:fullBackupContent attribute in the application element of the Android manifest. 🤷‍♂️

Then there were some that had android:allowBackup set to true.... but they just wouldn't back up anything (e.g. OpenVPN for Android, Termux, Waze, etc).

This last group is the one that has got me very confused, and I just don't understand why they're not being backed up by Google One.

So my question is.... Why are these apps not being backed up, despite them including the correct attribute setting in the Android manifest?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
1. While Google One backs up most data associated with apps with android:allowBackup="true", there might be specific data types excluded. This could include:

Cache Files: Temporary app data like cache files might not be included in backups to save space.

Partially Downloaded Files: Files that are still downloading or incomplete might not be backed up until the download is finished.

Streaming Data: Data associated with streamed content might not be backed up as it's meant for temporary consumption.

2. Even with android:allowBackup="true" set in the app's manifest file, the app itself might have code to explicitly opt-out of being backed up. Developers can choose to do this for various reasons, such as:

Security Concerns: The app might handle sensitive data that the developer doesn't want included in cloud backups.

Large Data Size: Backing up a huge amount of app data can be time-consuming and eat up storage space.

Synchronization Issues: Certain app data might be better suited for real-time syncing with servers rather than cloud backups.

If you're still unsure why an app isn't being backed up, you can try contacting the app developer directly. They might be able to provide more specific information about their backup practices.
[General Questions and Answers] Hendrix7:
Unfortunately, it can just as well be misused against the user when it isn't necessary.
[General Questions and Answers] bdr127:
What in the name of chatgpt is this?!? :unsure:

1. "there might be specific data types excluded.... Cache Files ... Partially Downloaded Files ... Streaming Data..."

--> Right. Obviously. It's in the Android developer docs.​

The docs also say "Auto Backup includes files in most of the directories that are assigned to your app by the system", which includes shared preferences, data files on internal storage, databases, and files on external storage.​

​

As I noted in my initial post, if developers want to back up (so they've included android:allowBackup="true") but exclude individual files and directories, they can use android:fullBackupContent (<=A11) or android:dataExtractionRules (>=A12) and include a backup_rules.xml in the res/xml/ directory.​

​

But none of these apps did that. (Actually, Waze included android:dataExtractionRules, but their backup_rules.xml files is empty. Literally, all that's in it is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><data-extraction-rules />. :LOL: )​

​

Regardless, this all doesn't explain why there would be nothing backed up. Like,

zero files

backed up to my Google Drive for some apps who have opted in.​

​

​

2. "the app itself might have code to explicitly opt-out of being backed up"

--> Right. And the way to explicitly opt-out of backing up is.......... setting android:allowBackup="false". So how in the world could they set both true and false? (Psst.... They can't.) :rolleyes:​

As far as contacting the app developer() directly, yes, of course, I am able to do that. However, given the fact that the app manifests explicitly allow backups and there not being any files excluded from backups, it's pointing more toward something being wrong with my device and/or with Google One backup. I was hoping someone here might have some insight on that.

Really... If I wanted an AI answer, I would have just hopped on an AI chatbot.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Why not ask Google this question, but here? The mentioned Google One is a product of Google.

BTW:

Since even an online storage service as Google One is not one hundred percent immune to mishaps, regular further backup copies of the data are mandatory. External hard drives, for example, are suitable for this. And that's my method - I don't use any online storage service, I backup phone's user-data via a Powershell script to an external HDD-drive.

I have the Galaxy S10 (G973F) with an unlocked bootloader and a custom rom. I was planning to go on stock but I can't afford having to plug my phone in every time I need to restart (for magisk). Is it possible to maybe make it automatically boot magisk every time?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
If the phone doesn't have ramdisk, it NEEDS to boot from the recovery partition. Magisk needs ramdisk support to work. Your only solution is to use a non-systemless root method like supersu, or a pre-rooted phh GSI.

[Meizu MX6 Questions & Answers] LightningGogo:
Hello!!! I Have a Meizu MX6 phone and I found it at home. It doesn't belong to me neither my parents becuase it's my grandpas. I wanted to see how old the phone is and play with it becuase it's some 8 year old phone. When I tried booting it after 1 hour charge it didn't boot and only a black screen was shining slightly. I saw something's wrong when I charged it becuase when andorids charge and they are turned off they have a battery which shows how much they've charged over time and this phone didn't show any battery. I then wanted to go to the "FlyMe" recovery, the one from the phone but the first time I boot into it, the partiotion was empty. I saw it becuase it was connected to a PC and the recvoery partition somehow showed up there. (1.5 GB out of 1.5 GB freed). The recovery was also a black shining screen so I cannot do anything. Fastboot doesn't show up and I tried booting there or anywhere else, none works. ADB doesn't recognize it and nothing happens. (I have the drivers for this phone installed on my PC, don't worry it's not from them). I don't have anymore info about it becuase nothing works 😂. I would really appreciate some help here so I could at least fill the recovery partition with something and flash the original ROM.

If you can't help, have a great day/night/life : ))
[Meizu MX6 Questions & Answers] IsHacker:
You have to flash the stock ROM through SP flash tool. It's hardbricked.
[Meizu MX6 Questions & Answers] LightningGogo:
OOOH! Bro, thank you for this lightning fast ressponse. I don't really know how to do that, so can you write some short tutorial of how to use it? I would appreciate it :)
[Meizu MX6 Questions & Answers] IsHacker:
I will try.

1. Download SP flash tool

2. Download the stock ROM for the phone (you can search for it, but if you can't find it, tell me)

3. Open SP flash tool (run it as administrator)

4- select the "scatter file". It will be a file in the format: MTXXXX_ANDROID_SCATTER.txt in the folder of your stock ROM

5. If there is any file called DA_MTXXXX.bin in the folder, select it as "download agent" in SP flash tool.

6. Click "Download" and connect USB to the phone while it's completely turned off.

7. Wait for it to complete 🙂
[Meizu MX6 Questions & Answers] LightningGogo:
I completed everything , but it just doesn't work. The phone screen is only shinig black again and SPFlash tool is not doinng anything. I don't know what to do....
[Meizu MX6 Questions & Answers] IsHacker:
What do you mean by "not doing anything"? Did you follow the steps I wrote properly? Please also provide screenshots if you can.
[Meizu MX6 Questions & Answers] LightningGogo:
Yeah, I followed your steps, but the tool stays like this (first image)
[Meizu MX6 Questions & Answers] IsHacker:
It means you didn't connect the phone properly or the drivers aren't installed. Install "Mediatek VCOM driver" and UsbDk driver and then connect phone as I said. Also please avoid using "format all + download", because it erases your IMEI and NVRAM (NVRAM is used to store important calibration information and device-specific information, which is unique to every device).
