Do you have an SDHC card? (Take it off)

And don't forget to run USPL before you flash anything.

Also you can search for a newer version of the update utility (although I don't know if that will work).

thanks for replying

Hi!

USPL is the one that makes my screen show a tux pinguin, right? (how cool... can we run linux on that? :P )

if I run uspl firts it freezes showing a penguin and its not connected to computer via activesync, therefore not able to connect with rom updater

:(

I will try to remove sdhc card
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Belli99:
Hi guys, I need help because I find many guides on forums and reddit but they are not explained well, also some are old and I don't know if they can even work currently.

Let me start by saying that I have a Moto g100 with Lineage OS 21, Lineage recovery and Gapps installed.

I wanted to ask a first question asking for backup on Lineage OS. There are those who propose using Lineage recovery to exploit adb sideload with a command to backup everything but then it is not known if it is actually possible to completely restore everything.

They also proposed booting (without installing) TWRP in fastboot to make a backup although I didn't understand if this is actually possible or if it causes some problems in the final package.

No backup guide has been released by Lineage, I can't understand if it's because it obviously can't be done or if they already assume that people know how to do it.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if it's feasible and if so, if they know any guides that work.

(also discussed on reddit but the responses were negative regarding backup:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/1dzw8im
share_button).

For the second question concerns the root with Magisk, from what I was able to understand from a post on reddit (

https://www.reddit.com/r/Magisk/comments/1dzwm6j
web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) based on the type of partitioning you have on the device (mine is A/B) you have to proceed in different ways for the installation and system updates, if I have to be honest I noticed a little more confusing to me about these things.

I would like to understand how to install it on my device, whether with the "patching images" or simply .zip (considered obsolete on the official website: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html). Furthermore, given that Lineage releases weekly updates, from what I understand Magisk disappears (is it true?), how should we proceed to avoid this situation? Also I know you can avoid it through the "install after OTA" function, how does it work? Do I have to set them every time the "boot.img" image of the new update?

I apologize for all these noob questions and if I sound paranoid, I'd like to understand as best I can and see it work without any problems before I proceed to do so.

Thanks in advance for the replies.
[General Questions and Answers] coolestihhhhh:
is there a way to disable signature verification with twrp and platformtools on SM-T285?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I'd advise against disabling signature verification on your SM-T285 (Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0) using TWRP and ADB, this because it's unnecessary for most uses. If you're looking to install a custom ROM or other trusted ZIP, you should be able to find a version with a valid signature from a reputable source.
[General Questions and Answers] coolestihhhhh:
how to disable it via adb i dont see it on twrp
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
To disable signature verification on Android devices, you have a few options depending on your specific situation:

If you have TWRP installed, follow these steps:

Boot your device into TWRP recovery.

Go to “Install” and select the ZIP file you want to flash.

Before swiping to confirm, disable the “Zip signature verification” option.

Flash the ZIP file.

If you want to disable DM-Verity without TWRP using Fastboot - NOT ADB - you do need an unlocked bootloader. Follow these steps:

Verify Fastboot is correctly installed

Obtain the stock vbmeta.img file for your device.

Reboot device to bootloader using adb reboot bootloader .

Execute command fastboot flashing unlock and select “yes” on your device.

Execute fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img passing the extracted vbmeta.img as argument.

Perform a factory reset with the command fastboot -w

Flash all the .img files - BUT NOT THE vbmeta.img - contained in custom ROM using appropriate Fastboot command.

Again do a factory reset with the command fastboot -w

Finally, boot your device into the newly flashed OS using fastboot reboot .

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o7YDv:
Hello folks !

I got a pretty cheap Samsung Galaxy XCover 4s from eBay. The seller was an auction house who bought it from a leasing company. I checked it because the phone has a FRP lock and I did not want to buy a stolen phone (some simply do not remove the FRP lock before returning the phone).

In the past, I had a similar problem with a family phone where they lost the password and email... but I was able to restore it with a tool. But it doesn't work with the XCover 4s, I've tried 3 different tools and even the method with this APK to download, but I can't get there.

The XCover 4s is up to date, which I think is the problem, and I want to downgrade it so the tools might work. I know I can use "Apply update from SD card" in recovery mode, but can I use it ironically to downgrade? And I don't know where to get the files for it as it checks them and only allows those with the correct signature.

Thanks in advance for any help!

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] SK17Me:
I recently bought a 2nd hand Sony TV (KD-65AF9) and later discovered that it has a fault - the TV and HDMI/USB/media player/WiFI/ethernet all work fine, but when I click on any app, it tries to launch then the TV instantly powers off. Even going in to 'settings' and then clicking on 'apps' instantly powers off the TV.

Strangely everything else works fine, even all of the settings - if I don't click on apps the TV will stay on and function as normal. I've tried the factory reset options and it still happens. I've tried holding the power and vol up/down buttons when powering on, but nothing happens.

It's on an old android 8 firmware and there are 2 available updates - 1 to android 9 and a later update to android 10.

The problem is I can't get it to update either - I've tried updating via WiFi, ethernet and USB and all 3 start to update but fail at 99%.

I can activate developer mode and connect via adb, but I'm reluctant to boot to recovery because this guy supposedly bricked his TV after issuing "adb reboot recovery"

So I have a couple questions, 1st is obvious - does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Second is - do TV's have an android recovery/fastboot mode that I can boot to or will I brick the TV if I try?

Hope someone can help with this, I'm pretty stuck.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] EllieCat:
Could it be overheating over that it ran out of memory?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] SK17Me:
I don't think so because I can watch films from USB through the media player without any issue, in fact it's not even all apps that make it crash - if I try to open the pre-installed browser it crashes, youtube crashes it as well but I can install apps from the play store and they work fine.

Another thing is that it's like it's factory reset every time it powers off.

If I connect to wifi, install new apps, change settings and then power the TV off and back on (or it powers itself off) then all the apps are gone and the settings are back to default.

I could really do with updating it but it won't do it via internet or USB.

Anyone know if I can do it via ADB?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] EllieCat:
You have to enter recovery mode and choose apply update via adb.

Type the command

adb sideload filename of updater.zip

It will take a long time to sideload.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] SK17Me:
Ok cool, but the bootloader will be locked and there's no "OEM Unlock" option in developer options, can I flash OEM firmware with the bootloader locked?

Also MT5893 is the TV I have and there's another guy here saying:

"Via ADB it is possible to adb bootloader reboot, but then it reboots to a Sony logo and the device is basically bricked at this point"​

I'm pretty stuck here, if I run adb reboot bootloader and it ends up in a bootloop it would probably be toast.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] EllieCat:
The site doesn't exist anymore.

I'd probably ask the seller about what's going on.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] SK17Me:
My bad I didn't put the right link, it's a github page.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] EllieCat:
Those apps may be using HDR in which will crash the tv.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] SK17Me:
Good idea, but it powers off when I launch the browser as well, also when I open settings and click 'apps' it powers off. If I stay away from those things I can watch films via USB/Media player for hours with no issues

I realised something else too - I've been connecting ADB via wifi because I'm getting nothing via USB, even with USB debugging enabled.

But if I'm connected via wifi and I reboot to bootloader - the wifi signal will be lost and I won't be able to issue any more commands.

It was a private sale so I cant take it back, sold as seen kinda thing.

It's gonna have to be connected via USB for me to even try it. I've got a cable but I tried it before and the TV wasn't detected. By any chance do you know if there's a certain USB port used for debugging?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] EllieCat:
You can use any USB cable.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] SK17Me:
I have a male to male usb cable, it was the port on the TV I was referring to, I've enabled usb debugging + tried connecting via all 3 USB ports and flicking through the charging/MTP/etc connection settings but my laptop doesnt detect anything.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] EllieCat:
Try using the physical volume and power buttons to get in recovery mode.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] SK17Me:
I've tried it over and over, nothing happens, I don't know why because the manual says to do that, but apparently all it does it resets it, but that doesn't even happen either.

I'm not sure there is a bootloader/recovery mode, which is maybe why people report bricking their TV's when they force it by rebooting via adb.

Hello, folks.

A brief stuff that I did.

I was trying to learn how to replace the screen, but my 1st attempt was failed (I did not pull the battery) I smelled a burn.

I was told to remove the battery BEFORE place a new screen.

Then my second screen was a sucess replace: I got boot info screen, so it was a yay.

But for some reason, the phone isn't botting at all! The LED keeps blinking and randomly tries to boot, but then goes back to a blinking state.

I was cheching the current from chargar, then I notict it was incoming 0.3a, going into 0.5a (when it was trying to boot), but then goes back.

Important: the phone has been giving signs about this, butit was charged for quite a time, then it was fixed.. but this time doesn't matter at all.

I've deciced to run without the battery,. I noticed goes easily up to 1.1a, but I didn't boot up as well. I put the phone in fastboot, then I placed the battery, but no joy at all.the charge was 1.1a, but then drops to 0.5a and I see all the blinking stuff all over again.

I already shopped a new charge pcb and a battery. I'm here to ask if I need to see something else.

By the way, how can I see if device got any damage by screen went defective on my 1st attempt?
