| zaki | hey pavlushka | 17:32 |
|---|---|---|
| pavlushka | hello zaki | 17:33 |
| pavlushka | zaki: whole day no electricity (they said maintenance) but I guess they just re-install windows :p | 17:34 |
| zaki | he he :D | 17:34 |
| pavlushka | zaki: rooted my android, lets see | 17:34 |
| zaki | on this friday ? | 17:34 |
| zaki | pavlushka, which phone you use now? | 17:35 |
| pavlushka | zaki: yeah, since Thursday night | 17:35 |
| pavlushka | zaki: walton medium grade | 17:35 |
| zaki | oh | 17:36 |
| pavlushka | zaki: now I can install busybox and can uninstall unwanted system apps | 17:39 |
| zaki | pavlushka, yes | 17:39 |
| pavlushka | zaki: and with busybox you can use it almost like a linux sys | 17:39 |
| zaki | pavlushka, I tried on my a2 lite following some thread from XDA | 17:39 |
| zaki | but I failed . | 17:40 |
| pavlushka | zaki: so? succeeded? | 17:40 |
| pavlushka | zaki: I failed few times in the past | 17:40 |
| zaki | I can unlock my phone successfully and can install oficial twrp for a2 lite | 17:41 |
| zaki | but it goes to bootloop | 17:41 |
| pavlushka | but yesterday I was like in a mission, even risking it to break and thread didn't helped me, I did | 17:41 |
| pavlushka | zaki: I had to innovate to make it work | 17:41 |
| pavlushka | zaki: if I root it, the OTA stops -> system update | 17:42 |
| pavlushka | zaki: so I unroot it, updated the system and then again root it with intuition | 17:43 |
| zaki | those xda thread ar tried on android 8 but I updated my a2 lite to android 9 last month before official update . I guess that can cause the bootloop | 17:43 |
| zaki | not sure | 17:43 |
| pavlushka | zaki: coz I got the idea how it works and even a forcible way to make it work | 17:43 |
| pavlushka | zaki: oh yeas, first thing is backup | 17:44 |
| pavlushka | zaki: adb and fastboot can help you a lot and al;so in rooting | 17:44 |
| zaki | pavlushka, my phone automatically backup everything | 17:45 |
| pavlushka | zaki: I rooted my device on a linux env, past experience was only with windows, coz the master GUI tools were only available to windows | 17:45 |
| pavlushka | zaki: where? | 17:45 |
| zaki | 17:46 | |
| pavlushka | zaki: I meant backing up everything to desktop.Laptop before starting the root process | 17:46 |
| zaki | pavlushka, I also used adb , it's great | 17:46 |
| zaki | other xioami phone you have to wait 3 days to complete unlocking process | 17:48 |
| zaki | but android one phone are just 2 command away from unlocking bootloader | 17:48 |
| zaki | but it erase everything | 17:49 |
| * pavlushka whispers backup | 17:49 | |
| zaki | he he | 17:50 |
| zaki | pavlushka, I only take backup of my musics | 17:50 |
| zaki | pavlushka, my main goal was to install Gcam and try google night sight feature | 17:54 |
| pavlushka | zaki: do these needs root? | 18:02 |
| pavlushka | need | 18:02 |
| zaki | yeah. cz need to enable camera to api module for Manuel photography or etc | 18:03 |
| pavlushka | wow | 18:03 |
| zaki | need twrp & magisk too. | 18:03 |
| pavlushka | zaki: I worked with those tools | 18:04 |
| zaki | pavlushka, I tried this on my previous redmi phone and worked | 18:05 |
| zaki | that one was MIUI | 18:05 |
| pavlushka | zaki: never told | 18:05 |
| zaki | but I thought this one would be more easy cz this is stock android | 18:06 |
| zaki | but nah | 18:06 |
| pavlushka | zaki: unlocked oem bootloader first? | 18:07 |
| zaki | pavlushka, I unlocked redmi 4 prime, installed some patch to upgrade audio/voice recording performance | 18:07 |
| pavlushka | cool | 18:07 |
| zaki | pavlushka, yes , that's too easy | 18:07 |
| zaki | like adb oem unlock | 18:07 |
| zaki | ./fastboot oem unlock | 18:08 |
| zaki | :D | 18:08 |
| zaki | work like magic :D | 18:08 |
| pavlushka | yes but that will only work if you check the unlock option in the developer settings | 18:08 |
| pavlushka | zaki: got it | 18:09 |
| zaki | than I temporary boot twrp and flash it permanently | 18:09 |
| pavlushka | that means bootloader was not locked | 18:09 |
| zaki | pavlushka, what? | 18:11 |
| pavlushka | zaki: most of the brand phones had their bootloader locked, so "fastboot oem unlock" does not work | 18:12 |
| pavlushka | or even flashing a new bootloader as well | 18:13 |
| zaki | pavlushka, you have to 1st check the oem unlocking option at the developer settings you know it | 18:13 |
| zaki | i've done all that properly | 18:13 |
| zaki | oem unlocking works well. | 18:14 |
| zaki | but problem happen upter flashing twrp | 18:14 |
| pavlushka | zaki: that means bootloader was not locked in that model | 18:14 |
| zaki | bootloader was locked | 18:19 |
| zaki | I unlocked it through adb command | 18:19 |
| pavlushka | zaki: in my case with the option unchecked in developer options, that command didn't worked, said process failed | 18:21 |
| pavlushka | zaki: then i had to reboot to system and checked that option and the that command worked | 18:22 |
| pavlushka | *then | 18:22 |
| zaki | yes that's the way | 18:24 |
| zaki | pavlushka, there's also a patch for preventing that bootloop for redmi phone but it didn't work for me. | 18:26 |
| pavlushka | zaki: that's what I was saying | 18:26 |
| zaki | don't know | 18:26 |
| pavlushka | zaki: me neither ;p | 18:26 |
| zaki | pavlushka, at some point I destroyed my recovery environment too. :3 | 18:28 |
| zaki | then I had to re install whole image using a flashing tool | 18:28 |
| pavlushka | zaki: happened to me also | 18:30 |
| pavlushka | thank goodness I had the stock rom | 18:30 |
| zaki | oh pavlushka then I while flashing rom I used old android 8 firmware after that my sim 1 and 2 logically swapped :D | 18:32 |
| zaki | and sim 2 was not working well. unable to receive signal | 18:32 |
| zaki | it was nightmare last wk | 18:33 |
| pavlushka | zaki: you can back up your device imie using mobileuncle but need to be root first | 18:39 |
| zaki | imie? | 18:40 |
| pavlushka | imei | 18:44 |
| zaki | ah | 19:05 |
| zaki | pavlushka, good night | 20:01 |
