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 :(

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

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

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

Weird time name after update

Yes it's android 10 with one ui 2.5. The screenshot is from my notification panel. I checked my device csc and it from united Arabic Emirates.

FYI "Rabi al-Thani" is a month in the Islamic calendar.

Check what region you got the phone set to in the Device Settings, also check the Calendar Settings as well. Are you currently in the UAE?

How to turn off sound

your response seems to suggest its specific to podbean, not the phone. the phone did its job in closing the app and removing from the background.
try a different podcast app to test if the same issue applies or ask the dev of the podbean for more info on how it works or read its instructions.
Thanks marctronixx,

ikerry? are you an old ifruit user and have moved over to android?

if so, take a look at the user guide to get comfy with the settings.

good info from ocnbrze as well.
Thanks marctronixx and ocnbrze. I'm reluctant to download and open a PDF from someone I don't know. I'm going to try another podcast app.

TunTap interface

I need to port an application that uses a linux TunTap interface. It receives and presents packets like a network interface and uses the TunTap interface to do it. Usually one would need to root a device (and maybe load a custom rom). I was wondering if there is another way to get the same feature?

Thanks,

Best android value?

This is not the thread for it now as the OP is looking for a contract phone somewhere on this planet but I stole two Xiaomi Amoled phones over the last six weeks in amazing one day / one model manufacturer sales. An Amoled Mi 10 Lite 5G with an SD765G for a ridiculous £194 UK, and then a Poco F2 Pro with an SD865 8/256 UFS 3.1 for an insane £299.

I agree with @tron there's a whole lot of great deals out there on Xiaomi / Redmi / Mi / Poco, Realme, Oppo, OnePlus 8T etc. Even Motorola are getting better.

I'm waiting for a new 5G sim to arrive with 160gb for £20 / m (over 24 months but sod it) on a much faster 4G carrier (EE) than I was on.

I currently have 4 great phones {3 new) but the medication should kick in soon :p

BTW : the Xiaomi software with MIUI 12 is very polished and impressive for the international market with no Chinglish, great extra features, virtually zero bloatware and no ads (don't initiate some copycat apps and turn off some settings); plus they are due Android 11 with the November patch. Now a Samsung rival imv.
