Help [Help] Unable to access Recovery

Hadron
Unless the bootloader is unlocked you won't be able to fastboot flash a recovery.

If it is then, as others have said, you need to be very sure that the recovery you try to flash is built for that particular model of phone and no other (not even a similar phone from the same manufacturer). A recovery built for a different phone will not work correctly, and if flashing it at all doesn't corrupt the phone using it almost certainly will.

Root Rooting problem with Lenovo tab 3

fastboot boot magiskpatched.img

so when daydreaming some more, I thought that

Code: 
fastboot flash magiskpatched.img

and i did not use the original
Code:

I'm trying to expand the memory of my Fire TV. I followed the steps from the link that you posted but I'm stuck after step #20. After I click CONNECT I get this message:
"Connecting to (myipaddress:5555)
Please make sure the target device has network ADB enabled. You may need to accept a prompt on the target device if you are connecting to it for the first time from this device"
Any ideas why am I getting this message? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Root How to ROOT the Moto E 2020 using Magisk

Also I compared the boot.img files from the ROM link you provided and the recovery one from motorola/lenovo tool and they are identical (before patching). So the downloaded ROM was fine. The patched from starts identically to the original one, so it could be an incorrect patch or truncated, but would otherwise seem "ok".

Make sure you have the exact boot image for the exact version stated in the settings. To make sure you have the right one, got to https://t.me/s/motoupdatestracker and search for your exact version number. I updated my phone manually and the Touchscreen, Fingerprint, Wifi, Bluetooth stopped working, but I patched the new boot image from the new update using another phone (because I could not use the touchscreen), and it worked, now I have a working touchscreen again.

Help Whatsapp data files - Help :(

Hadron said:
File recovery on Android is unlikely, I'm afraid. You'll find apps that claim to do it, I'm still hoping some day to find a testimonial that confirms one works that wasn't obviously paid for by the company pushing the app. I assume that stuff has been deleted from the WhatsApp/media folder (worth checking explicitly, in case the media are still there and it's just that WhatsApp hasn't connected them to the message threads, which would be a different but better problem).

Could the original senders resend the messages? If they haven't removed stuff from their phones they will still have copies.

It's also possible you may have backups of images elsewhere, e.g. Google Photos used to allow you to back up WhatsApp media (it may still do so if you choose it, but it is no longer the default).

Thank you SO much for your help, this makes perfect sense, I guess I just have a hard time letting go of things? Maybe this is a sign? Don't know hahahaha it's I don't think my contacts are going to send me those files one by one but at least that's an option. I just can't believe they are just...gone. There should be some sort of Recycle Bin Cloud thing hahahahahaha


Thanks for taking the time to reply to this, I really appreciate it!

Help Storage won't open up even after deleting large items

ocnbrze said:
just because you reformatted as internal does not automatically move your installed apps to the sd card. all new apps will do this, but not the ones internally. you will have to manually move them....i believe. i never liked using sd card as internal, because you run the risk of wearing out the card faster....which in turn increases the chance that the card can get corrupted and you could lose your all of your data.....just something to think about.

and how are you "migrating" your storage? thru a file manager?

I knew about the first bit and I did try to get a game to use the sd card I did delete and re-download the game but firstly I wasn't given the option so I checked my storage it had gone down by about 10 MB, not the 2GB the game said it was this is strange because downloading it took up that space so now I couldn't get the game and I had wasted my storage on a thing that I could not access so I plugged my phone in on my pc and I could only see the sd card so I moved the photos that were on there to my pc and now not even the storage fo the sd card was changing. So could you tell me how to get my storage back how I can access the storage that came with the phone as well as how to download games onto the sd card?

in short my storage won't open up

SD cart in android 6.0.1

The_Chief
20 GB? I have never heard of a card with that amount of storage. What brand is the card; and have you checked it to make sure it is a legitimate card? As far as your phone's use of it: all you have to do is power off the phone and get the card in the microSD slot (which, I believe, is a single slot shared with the SIM card). Boot the phone back up and any file explorer (I use Solid Explorer) will be able to access files in both internal and external memory (the card). Set the camera to save photos to the card
