Anyone try it with project fi
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I am currently downloading.... I am on verizon. i wonder how much is going to break.
We need non encryptable boot.img so the boot.img should be modified right ?
Anyone else microphone broken in M? Doesn't work at all throughout the OS for me
It seems to be when you set up hotword detection. That doesn't work, once you try it borks the mic until you restart.
Are Android M Dev Preview Updates OTA?
So I've installed the Android M Developer Preview on my Nexus 5 and I wanted to know whether the updates Google rolls out for it (not official M but incremental bug fixes e.t.c) will these small updates be OTA or will I have to manually flash them? Was it the same with L developer preview.
im trying to flash it, but when i run the flash all bat i get missing boot.sig and so on. everything is extracted... i guess i jumped the gun a little

Change DPI on Android M
To change DPI and not bugs like stretch contacts photos and google play big icons (by method wm density) try this:
1. boot to recovery
2. mount /system
3. go to command line
HTML:
adb pull /system/build.prop
4. change line ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx (xxx means dpi, on N5 i like 400)
5. save this file
6. go to command line
HTML:
adb push build.prop /system/
adb shell
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop
Use Wug's to Flash....
You can use Wug's Nexus Toolkit for this... do the following:
1. Download and Install Wug's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452
2. Unlock BootLoader if you haven't using the toolkit
3. Once Unlocked, Use the toolkit to FLASH STOCK with Normal Conditions....
4. Dialogue Box should come up that will allow to browse to an image file on your computer... make sure to download the Android M Preview directly from Google...
https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
Don't leave the download page for the preview as you'll need to cut and paste the MD5 Check Hash from the preview page into Wug's
5. Using Browse.... select the download .tgz on your computer
6. Copy & Paste MD5 Hash
7. Wug's will pretty much do the rest for you with zero issues.... I like to put it into ADB bootloader mode myself before I begin the flash since its really simple to do......
Keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader and / or flashing the preview will completely wipe your phone... so make sure to backup anything important..... :good:
Hope this helps those having booting and loading problems....
FOR DPI..... and / or screen re-sizing
It is much simpler and less evasive (won't cause bootlooping) by just doing the following ADB command:
adb shell wm size hhhh x vvvv
where hhhh is your horizontal resolution and vvvv is your vertical.... takes some trial and error to get something that works.... but it does not manipulate dpi which may cause bootlooping
Hope this helps too :laugh:
Interesting, I never flashed the stock boot.img, but I get the verification error on boot up. I was curious why everyone was concerned about it though cause it doesn't really impact anything does it? (flashed the noencryption-boot.img).
FYI for Verizon Users, there was a tip in here about enabling Multi-window, well I didn't know you can ADB in TWRP, so while changing the build.prop you can also enable the hotspot tether. Works.
*My posts still get sent to q&a threads. As well as my post count never seems to go up. Love it.

/edit: I just saw you actually answered it in the post i quoted... Im sorry, didn't see that.
Don't know if anyone already answered but at the I/O announcement and on the website they've said they plan to roll out OTAs as new M Previews are made available. On the graphic there seems to be at least 2, 3 more.
Hi, just now I upgrade to the the last Samsung update and now I got the error.
The AOD is work and I got notification tone but can not enter to the phone.
I enter to safemode and still the same.
I hope there is a way to solved it without erase the phone.
I can't enter to download mode because I can't close the phone
What should I do?
SAME TO MEE... OMG!!! ****ing samsung send me this update|
i even cannot call any one with this phone right now ..
I did a factory reset and now i need to spend hours to download and customized all over again!!
I think it's because the tweaks and system modes of Substratum.
I think that on the next time we should delete all of the system modes.
Hope some one can approve it because I really don't want to get through this again.
What make it to a sad joke is that the update is not what i thought it was, still I don't have the new Samsung VPN.
All for nothing!!!

Correct, you have to uninstall all your layers and substratrum mods before accepting the OTA. I just saw this but you can boot into safe mode while system ui is fc and uninstall all the mods there and you should be good when you boot out of safe mode. No factory data reset needed.

I was able to fix it without factory resetting my phone. To do it, connect your phone to a pc (pc that you previously connected your phone to and always allowed access), in cmd with adb, run "adb shell pm list packages > whateveryouwanttonameit.txt" and look through the text file for apps you installed that changed your status bar. Then in cmd run "adb uninstall com.appyouwanttouninstall". I did 4 among many, checked my phone, and didn't get the system ui has stopped messages

Thanks for the tip! Rather than saving to text I just used one window to output the packages to stdout, while I used another to do the uninstalls. Removing these two packages fixed the issue:

Did any of you have substratum installed?
EDIT: i just read up higher.
This also happened to me with substratum. One thing I did before however is I already had adb debugging enabled and trusted with my pc via adb.
I used these instructions found here for adb
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/737y3j/helpfix_substratum_system_ui_has_stopped_issue/
What is the latest version of samsung update?
Mine is N950FXXU2BQKG/N950FOXM2BQKG/N950FXXU2BQKG.
My phone updat 6 days ago, and I don't have the new samsung VPN.
And just to be clear, in the next update after uninstall all the layers and substratrum mods and accepting the OTA, it is safe to install all the layers again after the update?
Thanks again

Thanks houboy, you're a lifesaver.
Tried to center the status bar clock and the phone crashed.
Your method worked like a charm
I was reading through the reddit thread posted earlier and found an alternative solution which worked for me.
Log into Samsungs Find My Phone website, unlock your device and then switch on Power Saving Mode, then reboot. Once in Power Saver you will regain control of your phone. Now, switch off power saver and go disable all substratum mods and reboot again.
Happened twice to me while setting up my new Note 8. Resolved to finally wipe through hard reset menu, and setup as new phone. Some Substratum addon was lingering when I did a restore which was likely causing the UI crash.
this happened 3 times to my note 8, the culprit seems to be android pay, once you add a credit card to be specific . To fix the phone you need to put the phone in powersaving mode via Samsung dive then reboot.
once the phone rebooted in power saving mode just put it back to normal , after this procedure all cards are removed from google pay.

What's strange is that I have substratum installed but never ran it but I'm still getting the system UI error, thank good it hasn't totally blocked need but still doesn't make sense why this is all happening. I forgot I even installed it honestly.
I just uninstalled it so I'll see if that changes anything.
@squick You could try booting into safe mode to see if its a program causing it, but for me, i updated my phone software(update) with the substratum ui apk installed which caused me to get the force close error where only the screen showed system ui has stopped. I used adb to get a list of packages and remove the substratum system ui apk. A sure way to fix would be to reset the phone, but if you're able to use it, try removing apps you dont need from your applications in the settings. It's possible there could be another app interfering with the system ui
I'm trying to create an application to make flashing files on our pixel devices easier.
Features:
Install ADB
Unlock bootloader
Reboot to bootloader
Download and install factory images
Download and install TWRP
Download Magisk
Easy to use GUI
Enjoy! :good:
Credit to Dees_Troy and bigbiff for TWRP image.
Feel free to modify and hack away at the source.
WARNING: I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong using this tool, it works fine on my windows 10 machine, and tested on windows 7. However, make sure you know what these tools are doing beforehand.
New update!
Beta Release
What's New?:
All new base being built.
Better .exe support (requires installing the app)
Console interface for now.
Removed some features that were broken in the old app, will add them back one-by-one, but this time, not until they work 100%.
Usage:
Just follow the prompts on screen.
Allows picking the files for booting TWRP or pushing files via ADB.
Install:
Easy method (requires install): https://github.com/boostedd2/crosshatchdb/blob/boostedd2-patch-1/crosshAtchDB-2.3-win32.msi
Install the app with the provided .msi, choose where you want to install it. Open the folder where you installed it and run the crosshatchdbbeta.exe.
Build/Run from source:
Requires:
source .py file: https://github.com/boostedd2/crosshatchdb/blob/boostedd2-patch-1/crosshatchbeta.py
cxfreeze config: https://github.com/boostedd2/crosshatchdb/blob/boostedd2-patch-1/setup.py
To run from source, just install Python on your PC, then from cmd window run : "pip install requests".
Then just double click on the crosshatchdbbeta.py file.
To build the .exe:
You need both files from above.
Install Python
python -m pip install cx_Freeze --upgrade
With setup.py and crosshatchdbbeta.py in the same directory, run "python setup.py build"
This is a very minimal release, I will continue to fix any bugs and add features once they are working better.
Thank you so much for this! I was actually going to unlock my bootloader and root today after work. Now it will only take 2 minutes instead of 20!
I appreciate it and will report back later after testing!

No problem, quick usage guide to make sure it goes smooth.
Enable OEM unlock in developer options, also enable ADB debugging.
Plug in your phone, run crosshatchdb.
Select option 9, this will auto download and extract adb to your c: drive.
Select option 1 to check for ADB devices, check the box on the dialog that pops up on your phone.
All set. You can download magisk directly to your phone or push it from your PC.
Reboot bootloader option 2, from here you can unlock the bootloader(formats your phone btw).
Setup your phone, enable ADB debugging again and your free to reboot bootloader and download/boot TWRP to flash magisk.(use TWRP img not zip)
Hopefully these instructions are not too confusing, it is pretty easy once you do it once, and the tool really does make the next time you do it faster.
Tested on a windows 7 virtual machine and my own personal windows 10 machine.

The time to unlock a Google purchased Pixel isn't the issue. The factory reset just sucks if you run stock for any time before doing it.
Two things I think you should add.
1) adb sideload for when adb works in twrp.
2) adb logcat for our great developers, so there isn't an excuse for getting them a logcat in event that they need one.

Good idea, should be easy to pipe logcat output to a text file.
ADB sideload can be added as well, next update will probably be when TWRP ADB is fixed, or sooner depending how long that takes.
Already thinking of ways to make the current version of this script more automated, but I like to err on the side of explicit is better than implicit.
Thanks for the ideas.

It is a good option of you want an easy way to just boot TWRP in 1 button, if you don't want to install a custom recovery like TWRP.
New update coming soon, decided that command line didn't work very well for this purpose...
Also working on making all of the actions smoother.
New update released, let me know if you have any issues or feature requests, still waiting for TWRP to be fully functional before adding ADB sideload options.
CMD window still wants to hang out for now, you can minimize it though if needed.

Yes, that is on the list for next update.
When TWRP is more reliable I will probably add options for copying TWRP backups to your PC as well.
Still need to get rid of the cmd window and cut down on having to open browser windows or file selection dialogs, just to get it feeling less clunky.
I'd like to send out a big thank you to boostedduece I've used platform tools and google flash all for years with no hitch whatsoever but I tried to glies an update to my kernel and ran into the red corrupt device thing and used my platform tools to flash all and halfway through it stopped and said error.

Glad to hear it helped out, working on some new updates to make the UI even better.
Trying to make all of the download links update automatically too, just working on some web scraping again ?
It's a nice little tool if something gets messed up, also for new users to get up and running.
New update released, Download factory image has been overhauled, it will now download the image automatically, check the SHA-256 hash, then unzip it to the correct folder, just run the factory image flash option after and you're set. Be patient, the image.zip can take a while to download, takes several minutes for me, but I'm only at 50mbps down...and who knows if google throttled my connection after all the web scraper testing lol.
Pull TitaniumBackup folder via ADB to your PC, pull TWRP backup might not work it failed for me, but will not cause any damage to your PC or phone, ADB is copying the files read only from your device, and ADB just seemed to crash on me.
CMD window is still here for now until I pipe the output to the built in box on the GUI and bind keyboard keys to interact with it. For now it will help with any debugging.

It will work for pixel 3, but you will need to download the factory image for your blueline device and extract it into c:\crosshatch_stuff\platform-tools. This program is basically a gui wrapper for ADB commands.
Just stick with the ADB tools section and find the downloads you need separately.

It will still install ADB and allow you to run reboot bootloader, boot TWRP, factory reset, ADB logcat, unlock bootloader.
But the only extra part that is manual would be extracting the factory image into the c:\crosshatch_stuff\platform-tools folder.
Install ADB Drivers properly .This is really important

I've done this many times since 8 months ago with color os 6, just be careful with what you're removing some of this apps are essential for some part of other software related apps, although there are alternatives like google apps so mostly no problem in removing the whole.
Can we edit the file and delete include apps according to our convience?
I did....and now the "Software updates" in settings is now missing.
did you have any solution ??
I am also missing Software update in settings now. When you search for it, it does display in the list but you can't tap it. Which of the apps in the list is responsible for Software Updates? Is it com.oppo.ota?
Can I restore that app somehow?
I've found a solution for the missing Software Updates in the Youtube comments. Run this in an adb shell to restore the updates:
pm install-existing com.oppo.otaui
pm install-existing com.oppo.ota
It is also noteworthy that the script won't uninstall Market and Themestore. You would need to root your phone and start a shell as SU to be able to do that.
So, now that we have OneUI 4.0 Beta 1 rolling out to countries (ofc only 7), it has come so far in Germany & Korea (as far as I know). So the rest of the world wants an update.zip link, so don't be selfish and please, if you have one, capture the .bin file and share it in this thread.
How to capture:
I:
Install HTTP Canary app: https://m.apkpure.com/httpcanary-—-http-sniffer-capture-analysis/com.guoshi.httpcanary
1. Load canary
2. Start the update download but don't pause it.
3. Go back to canary and start that and it will grab the link.

If someone uploads it to the internet, you'll find the link/s in the second post in this thread.
[UPDATE] New link for the S21 Ultra (Exynos) - down on the second
[UPDATE2] You can watch a tutorial that I did back when OneUI 3.0 Beta was a thing on my S10 (the process is similar): YouTube
* This thread was made in order to centralise the update conversation / OTA links.
This is where I'll put the OTA /update.zip/ links for the S21 / S21P / S21U:
How To:
Rename [name].bin to [name].zip and paste it into the adb folder
Enable USB Debugging from the Developer Options
Reboot your phone
./adb start-server
Trust the computer
./adb reboot recovery
With vol-up and vol-down go to ADB Update and press the Side/Power button
./adb sideload update.zip
!!! Remove ./ if you're using Windows
!!! Obviously Google Pay and (possibly) other banking apps don't work

Thanks, I updated the link

If we side load the update via ADB can we still register in the UK on Samsung members and receive future beta OTA or not?

Well, I don't know, I don't have any experience with that, since I live in an unsupported region.
link to bin file here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ountries-how-to-install.4333281/post-85630907
For s21 ultra exynos
Sideloading through recovery: Using Android Debug Bridge (ADB)
Make sure you have the latest version of ADB installed.
Rename the downloaded .bin package to update.zip.
Now reboot to the recovery mode. Inside the stock recovery environment, you can scroll down using the volume buttons and select an entry using the Power button.
Select apply update from ADB and connect the phone to the PC using a working USB cable.
In the Command Prompt/Terminal window, run the following command:adb devices
Wait to see that the daemon has started and that your device is found. Then run the following command:adb sideload PATH_TO_update.zip
Change the CSC, I have DBT and I don't want to lose it.

You can just put the zip file in the same folder as the ADB then just do sideload update.zip
So, I added a how-to video (of OneUI 3.0 Beta on my S10 from "back-in-the-day") as well as the OTA link for the S21U. Don't forget to change .bin to .zip
Thank you for creating this thread @KokosTech !
I have one suggestion. Write which build can upgrade to which build. For example, like here.
I will be making a video guide on how to install via ADB as soon as possible and if I have your permission may I post it here?

Thank you for this. I've done everything right I can think of but can't get it to install. Someone suggested renaming the file on pc but doesn't work. I get update.zip.zip

Do "cd C:\adb" and the "adb sideload update.zip"
Also, run CMD as admin if still doesn't work.
SD-card method ?
