Hello every body,

I bought a Android Unit 2 years ago for my car Audi Q3 and it worked perfectly. Since 1 week I did an Update and now it is impossible to me to connect at Carplay (Cable or wireless). Before, I had Qlink who worked very good but after the update I have Zlink5 who doesn't connect to Carplay. Bluethoot and the screen work very good but Carplay no way.

Can you help me please?

Thank you

Hello. Recently i bought Google ION and i really want to backup all the partitions on it, but dd is throwing me some weird errors, like /dev/mtd/mtd0 invalid arguments and i don't know how to fix it and backup entire phone from the bootloader to the system.

So, i done nandroid backup through AmonRA 1.7.0G recovery, and i want to leave it here. If anyone knows how to backup all phone without tools, like programmer, please help me!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poldie:
This post contains a few questions I have after a week or so using my Touch Diamond, about issues I've not seen mentioned on this or other boards.

1) When I hold phone then speak to phone a contact, it repeats the contacts name (ie plays the sample of my voice it used to identify the contact). Can I turn that playback off?

2) Sometimes holding the bottom right key (end call) does nothing, or just moves the touchflo 3d selection to the right, instead of locking the phone. It seems to do this more often if I've been using the phone to surf etc, and less if I've just used it for a few seconds, as if it's busy (although it's responsive in every other respect)

3) In the messaging app, under the top line of text, I can choose between:

Gmail

Outlook E-mail

SMS \ MMS

I'd like to remove the Outlook line - I never use it - it's just Gmail or text messages for me. Can I do this?

4) When I use Fring to do Instant Messaging (which doesn't seem to pick up on all my contacts for some reason - any idea why?) it will enable and use Wifi, even if it was turned off. But if I load Opera it'll not re-enable Wifi but will simply use my phone provider (ie 3G, GPRS etc). Is there any way of getting Opera (or any app, if that's easier) to enable Wifi when loaded. I want to use it for speed, and to reduce my data usage via my phone provider, but I don't want to pay the price in battery life.

5) Has anyone had any success in using their Touch Diamond to connect to a network (Ubuntu, using Samba, or Windows - I'm not bothered which)? Surely it should be possible?

6) Can I make Opera and not Internet Explorer the default app for .html files and links in emails/text messages?

7) Has anyone had any luck getting java applets working from web pages in Opera (or Internet Explorer, as a last resort)? I can get regular midlets working in the stand alone Java client thing, but I need to be able to log into secure sites using my phone and the sites use little Java apps.

I'm sure I had another question or two but it's late and I can't remember, so this should keep you going for now!

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Davey101:
Too many questions! :D

I'll answer number 5: Yes you can connect to a network share using a program called Network Plugin or, even better, Resco Explorer, although that one isn't free. I've only used it for Windows XP shares so far.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pjsnyc:
I'll answer number 2!

Do you use a rubberized case similar to the one in my avatar? I've come to realize that it somehow prevents the talk/end keys from functioning properly (same behavior - itll think im either trying to go left or right in tf3d). Removing the case fixes the problem for me. Sounds silly I know, but when I realized that it was the rubber case, I couldn't stop banging my head.

If you're not using a case of some sort, then I have no clue
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] maurophp:
I'll asnwer number 2 as well.

Had the same problem. I think it's a kinda bug.

Solved it with the new Rom 2.30.

Hi, I use Android, a Xiaomi product (MIUI 12.5)

The app just keeps force closing, no matter how many times I launch it, the app kills itself immediately, I noticed a few times that the appearance of the app changes to that of older versions on startup, I figured out that the app only works if I switch off mobile data and WiFI, this all started 2 hours ago, been trying to resolve this since. My phone is rooted but that never caused me any issues before.

I tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app, no dice, what could be causing this? What do I do?
[General Questions and Answers] khusika:
Hi @idkmanimjustlookingforans and welcome to XDA.

Regarding to your questions, this usually happens when WhatsApp fails to synchronize userdata. It could be that the data is corrupt or something, so the application will be forced to close forever if you open it.

Try to force stop and clear cache on the Whatsapp application. If this method doesn't work, you have to reinstall the WhatsApp application by deleting the data first.
[General Questions and Answers] idkmanimjustlookingforans:
Hi, so I already tried killing the app in the background, clearing all data and reinstalling the app, I did my usual backup and restore with titanium backup, and the issue persists

Hi again, so I just realized something, for a long while now, I've been backing up my WhatsApp chats and app data locally by keeping the database files and using Titanium backup

But get this!! Now all of a sudden, WA won't let me in unless I start afresh, it's very disheartening, I'll have to lose all my chats and 10+ years worth of stickers, idk if there's any way I can at least save my chats and stickers, I sure hope there is.

The problem is common for several users but no clear answer was provided so dedicating a topic seems appropriate, link given is not useful but thank you anyway for reply
[Android Head-Units] ElKouen:
Solution Found !!!

1. Ignition off and on

2.Have ready the needle for reset and do that instantly as you see the boot logo ( for 10 sec).

3. Once device restarted, wait until you see the boot logo again, immediately turn the ignition key to off and wait 10 sec.

4. Put in an USB pen drive with the right firmware.

4. Turn the ignition key and let it in ON ( position II ), without starting the engine.

5.The update process will startautomatically, have a bit of patience until will finish.

Work is done

[Off-topic] Renate:
Yeah. It was lots of fun. I did use only hand tools (except a portable drill).

In the past I've had access to a CNC mill which would have sped things up a bit.

The shape of it was based on a slice of 1" square aluminum tubing with a side cut off.

There are a few interesting problems with choice of implementations.

Smart cards and SIMs are based on a default external clock of 3.579545 MHz, the old US NTSC color TV crystal.

That gives you a default data rate of 9600 baud. (Hey, it's an old standard.)

But I'm using a 4 MHz clock which gives you a data rate of 10728 baud.

You can on most cards shift into a higher gear.

At 4 MHz that translates to 125000 baud.

That gets into the question of whether the hardware reader should be treated as a dumb multi-baud device that gets its speed selection from the client or whether it handles baud selection itself.

And since this thing is half duplex should you echo what you send (for comfirmation) or should you "mute" it.

In any case, there's a ton (~200) of tiny and bigger things on a SIM card.

I haven't seen a comprehensive list of all the file ids.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] the.healer777:
Hi

i want to buy this device but it has A12 installed

is there a way to downgrade to A10 and use custom roms based on A10

i heard it has "anti-rollback-protection"

is there a guide to unlock and downgrade safely ?

thank you
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] khusika:
Unlocked booatloader is required to do such thing, you can downgradeyour MIUI version by flashing it through fastboot methods.

Looks like V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM is the latest MIUI stable global version based on Android 10.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] the.healer777:
So i unlock the BL while on A12

then fastboot official miui A10

then twrp

then custom rom A10 ?

Someone wrote on TG that this method is better :

Unlock the BL

install twrp

flash official miui A10 recovery version

install custom rom A10

which one do you think is better ?

(less chance of brick)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] khusika:
This is enough and it's the cleanest way.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] the.healer777:
Thank you

My goal is to use A10 custom roms (not staying in MIUI)

so there is no "anti-rollback-protection" ?

is there a good recovery that can backup system/vendor ?

because i saw that roms don't work with the same vendor and orangefox can't backup vendor

sorry for many questions , i'm new to this device
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] khusika:
Opps, sorry I missed your last question, yes you can flash any costum rom based on Android 10 after that.

If you find a 32-bit rooting tool then you can try to root the phone.

Take note that officially, the hyped rooting tool named Magisk itself doesn't directly support 32-bit Android versions. The Android ecosystem has been moving towards 64-bit for a while, and Magisk development reflects that focus.

June 24 update has arrived in SG
[Nokia X10 / X20] corvairbob:
i have the nokia x100 and when i plug the phone into the pc and open the nokia x100 and then dcim and then camera as they populate the win10 or win11 file explorer i get icons. i need thumbs so i can see what photos i want to copy over to the pc.

if i copy all of the icons to a folder and then go to that folder i will see thumbs. but if i have 128gb of photos is is a pain to copy all of them to a folder just to pick out 2 or 3 to actually save into a pc folder.

so i put the phone in a drawer for a few years because i just can't figure this out. maybe someone here has one of these phones and has figured this out. if i can't get it figured out i might as well toss it out as it is about as usless to me as a brick.

i want to try again to get this because i use tinycam and i want to be able to see my cameras when away from my home. and this phone is a metro phone and the wifes metro phone will see the cameras when away from home but my a51 tracfone using the metro sim card will not see my cameras when wifi is off. i can't have that so i believe this is due to the a51 not being a metro phone .

so if i can get this nokia x100 phone to show thumbs when it is plugged into the pc i will put my sim in it and start using this phone. thanks for any help on this
[Nokia X10 / X20] singhnsk:
Hi, do they still remain thumb-less icons if you try to change the view of the folder? Right click

> View > Medium (or Large) icons?

If it does not help and the icons only become bigger without thumbs, then I do not think there is a solution.
[Nokia X10 / X20] corvairbob:
yes they do. the only way i can actually see the photo is to copy them into another folder on the pc and then switch to that folder and then they show as thumbs/photos

if i click on them i can see them as photos but then i have to click every on and move them all separately. so the fastest way is to just copy all of them and then in the new folder pick the photos i want and then move them to their respective folders and then go back and delete all the photos in that temp folder. that can take some time also. it would be nice to just have them show in the first folder as the populate. all of my other phones i have all show the photos as they fill from the camera into the file explorers first page. thanks
[Nokia X10 / X20] corvairbob:
it is possible this issue is in the phone. but i have no clue where to look for it. i went into every selection in the settings and tried clicking them and the developer page. i tried them all, either on or off and trying again and to see if changed, they did not change anything. now maybe i have to change more than one but that for me is about pointless. so i tossed the phone in the drawer. what prompted me to try again is this phone is a metro pcs phone and when i'm out of my home network and using the metro 4g towers networks and i open the tinycam app and try to see my cameras i could not see them with my galaxy a51 tracfone using the metro sim network. so i started the nokia phone up and before i move the metro sim over to this phone i have to figure out the photos. thanks
[Nokia X10 / X20] singhnsk:
There is no setting responsible for this. If it does not pass the thumbnails, then there is no way. It must be a bug in Nokia's firmware, and since no more updates are coming to the device, I do not expect a solution either.

You can use some other options. Such as viewing the files on the phone and sending the required files to the PC as needed. Or maybe pay for a cloud drive like OneDrive where you can sync from the phone and all files are available on the PC or any device. I do not know if there are other Windows apps that can help. Maybe some other file management app can pick the files and show thumbs for them. I will research and report back if I find something.
[Nokia X10 / X20] corvairbob:
thanks i think this is what may be going on. i did make contact with nokia and they gavem me some options but none of them worked. i guess my option may be to try to root the phone and see if that works. if not then i'm not out much. i take tons of photos and coping all of them to anothe folder just to pick the photos i need to move is a pain in the ass.

so maybe someone here can help me with rooting this phone. and see if that helps.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Hao1-VN:
So yesterday I found out that my Nokia G11 has DSU Loader built-in and it has some Android 15 GSI files.

But I cannot unlock the bootloader on the device. When I try adb reboot bootloader, it boots into the Android One screen with the text

And it can accept commands. But when I try to do fastboot oem unlock, the command fails with

Although I checked the OEM unlocking is allowed in the Developer Settings, it still shows this message when I try to run the command.

I also tried adb reboot fastboot, which boots into fastbootd. When I tried to enter commands it fails with

I also tried using unisoc-unlock, made by patrislav1 on GitHub, which also failed. When i tried python unisoc-unlock unlock, it also fails with

So I flashed the GSI image with GMS onto the phone and it downloaded sucessfuly. But I tried to boot into it and it went wrong. On first boot, it briefly displays the Android One screen and then it shut itself down. On the second boot, it boots with the text:

After I press the power button, it boots normally into my stock Android 13 ROM on my device.

When I clicked the notification to reboot into the GSI image, it reboots and on boot, the device shows the message above, but when I try to press the power button, nothing happens and it gets stuck. So I have to hard restart it to get back into the stock Android 13 image. So on every boot it shows the message above.

So here's the question. How do I unlock the bootloader on my device (Nokia G11) to try out the GSI images preloaded on my device?

PS: this is the closest forum to post this in. Also sorry if my English is bad, I live all the way in Vietnam.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Ankit Das1234:
Yes i had the same problem with bootloader unlock. I have Nokia 3.1 as my one and only test device. Since I also own a Nokia device, I can understand your problem. But successfully I have found the solution and it will work only with mediatek devices. If yours have a processor from other brand, then i cant help.

Here is the solution;-

How to unlock Mediatek bootloader using mtkclient

This guide will explain how to unlock a Mediatek device's bootloader using MTKclient. This will come in handy for those who can't unlock bootloader using fastboot. This was tested on the LG K51. Warni

www.hovatek.com

you can take help of the video provided

points to be noted:-

1)For BROM mode, I pressed and hold the volume up botton and then connected the mobile to the pc via usb. It differs from device to device, I just mentioned the matter with Nokia 3.1. You have to do some research and understand how to attain BROM mode in your phone.

2)I used the command "python mtk da seccfg unlock". After clicking the link you may get a number of commands to unlock bootloader but in my case, I worked on executing "python mtk da seccfg unlock"

3) It may not happen in your just first or second try. I tried for 30 times then suddenly the bootloader got unlocked. Be motivated and try again and again because if you have a mediatek devices, it will surely be done.

Now currently I can run gsi roms without any issue just because bootloader is unlocked.In my opinion this is the only way to unlock since I myself own a nokia and found no other option
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Hao1-VN:
So my Nokia G11 uses a Unisoc T606 for it's CPU, I don't think it is compatible with the MTK unlocking tools.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
you are right. Not compatible with Unisoc.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Hao1-VN:
Are there any other options to unlock the bootloader on my device?
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] singhnsk:
Bootoader unlock is not possible, as far as I know. Not without some weird exploits.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] ezdiy:
Unisoc has broken bootrom as well - allowing for unlock, or unbrick at the very least. However the tooling is far less mature than mtkclient. You'd have to write support for your device by yourself.

This is a one-time signature verification bypass. For persistent signature verification bypass, check https://github.com/TomKing062/CVE-2022-38691_38692 - TomKing062/CVE-2022-38694_unlock_bootloader

As for DSU, that can boot only vendor signed GSI on a locked bootloader.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] singhnsk:
The fix at this point should be to flash the stock ROM.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Hao1-VN:
UPDATE: A Google security update has fixed the the problem.
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
hey everyone another question for you all,

i have looked around a little bit for a way to do this but i haven't turned up many results that had a great solution

Alot of my friends ask to see my phone and i usually let them, i just really hate it when people read my txt messages, is there any programs that let me just password protect the messaging portion of my phone so that way i don't have to really worry about people looking through them when i let them see the phone, my older flip phones had a way of doing it i just havent seen one on this phone.

the closes thing i found to a solution was to put this one .exe file into the messaging folder on the phone, i was wondering if there was a .cab file that did the same thing so its quicker and easier

<Mod Edit> 4PDA Links Removed

First, a little theory: This phone (like most others with an MTK processor) does not have a separate section for recovery. Therefore, it is built into the boot image. Our task is to embed twrp instead of the standard xiaomi recovery. And we will “sew in” correctly, using the same TWRP.

The bootloader must be unlocked!!!

And so, first we need 2 original files from your stock firmware - boot.img and vbmeta.img.

You can get them from the official fastboot archive (everything is in the header). I repeat once again - these files must be from the ORIGINAL firmware that YOU have installed.

!!!! This is an important point, because will allow you to disable AVB vm-verity protection in the official, correct way and, subsequently, will protect you from incomprehensible glitches/bricks/bootloops.

rename the TWRP image to recovery.img, next to it we put vbmeta,img (which we took from the official image).

Copy boot.img to your phone in any folder.

We reboot the phone into fastboot and connect

the following commands to the PC:

fastboot devices

fastboot oem cdms

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification

flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash boot recovery.img

fastboot reboot recovery

With this we disable the protection and flash TWRP instead of boot in order to enter it (remember, yes, that there is no separate partition?)

The phone will reboot into TWRP and we now need to flash the ORIGINAL boot back from it.

select Install>install img and flash the original boot.img that you saved in your phone.

DO NOT REBOOT!!!

Next, go to ADVANCED and select Flash Current TWRP - this will automatically unpack the boot image and implement TWRP instead of the standard recovery.

All! Now you have a properly installed TWRP which will save you a lot of time and nerves.
