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