I downloaded and unzipped the factory image, then edited the flash-all.sh file to remove the "-w" (wipe) option to the last line "fastboot -w ..." invocation, then executed the flash-all.sh script.

Greetings, following the "Updating instructions" at Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers , adb sideload has met with failure. The downloaded OTA for the Pixel 6 meets the published sha256sum. (Laptop) $ adb devices * daemon not running...

On a Google chrome e10 tablet, if I enable Linux, full-system "top" is available in a terminal window. You might check to see if Linux functionality is available on your Samsung tablet device, which might eliminate the need for rooting, and the busybox and termux apps.

If you were more Linux oriented, "top" (table of processes) could be installed on a rooted Android device. It can be installed on a non-rooted device too, but will only display user processes, not system processes. This involves installation of busybox and termux.The attached image indicates my...

Thanks for your patience with my shortcomings, the problem is now solved. With the "Set input method" configuration step, I didn't realize that it was a scroll-able list, so "Hacker's keyboard" was farther down. Again, thank you.

I couldn't find "Hacker's Keyboard ..." in the phone's list of apps, so was unable to clear cache and uninstall. I did an "adb push" of the newest version and re-installed, with same results, no microphone for voice input, despite careful configuration according to instructions.

Greetings, recently my Android 15 Pixel 6 has lost voice keyboard input, making life difficult for such tasks as texting, email, etc.. A picture of keyboards installed is attached. For years I've used the "Hacker's Keyboard", but it doesn't seem functional now, I simply can't find the microphone...

Thanks, but need local tool. not the cloud.

I have a PDF form file that needs to be signed. How can I make the signature be included in the saved file, please?

Those commands are not in your $PATH. Since you cd into the directory where they exist, you must precede the commands with the current directory '.', e.g. : ./adb devices Instead of having to cd, it's far easier to create a symbolic link (symlink) so that they are in your $PATH (you can...

Negative, but it's recognized when in "Fastboot Mode" via vol-down+power: $ fastboot devices 21101FDF60063S fastboot That gave me the idea to exercise the "flash-all.sh" script after removing the fastboot -w option from the script in the factory zip file, so that the data didn't get wiped...

Thank you, I will investigate your suggestions after I get the phone back from the repair shop when they can't restore it to factory defaults or otherwise recover it. They'll charge me $59.xx + tax for "diagnosis and repair", but there's been no email notification for over 24 hrs., so I'm...

No, I never felt a need for it, as I could always enter Recovery Mode in the past if needed. Yes, that was how the phone was originally rooted. Magisk version was updated immediately prior to adb sideload.

Greetings, after "adb sideload oriole-ota-bp1a.250305.019-34e04bed.zip" on a Google Pixel 6, followed by a successful reboot, then rooting with Magisk which has been successful every month for a few years, the phone now only bootloops to the colored Google logo, With the phone powered down, I...

Detailed things were somewhat different from your suggestions, but it solved the problem thank you.

All text messages are received, but none of them generate a notification. I verified this today via a phone call to a friend and asked him to send me a simple SMS message, which he did. There was no notification that it was received.

That reinforces my belief that you may have a defective USB cable. Also, be sure to clean the USB port on the phone ... after 11 years, pocket lint accumulates and contacts oxidize. I use a product like https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00006LVEU/ with other radio electrical contacts and find it...

I'm curious why the Li-Ion 1700 mAh removable batteries can't be recharged via the USB cable? Have you tried a different cable yet? Just a hopefully helpful thought ...

Greetings, I'm using Android15 on a Pixel 6 smartphone with Google Messages app. How do I enable sms text messaging notifications for Google Messages app, please? The Settings->Notifications has "Google Play Services" and "Messages" enabled, but the lack of notifications is causing me some...

Hello, I have a Pixel 6 with Android 14. I'm not sure how to determine what texting app I'm using. but I assume it's the default one. I want to use "adb put ..." to upload some audio files for texting notifications. What type of files (.mp3, .mp4) do these need to be, where should I place them...

Thanks, I was able to flash a factory image and recover that way.

Please take care to detail your words. I have no idea what is meant by "the it's package". Did you locate the *payload.bin file (I think it was) for your particular phone to match the OS you have installed? Maybe that's what "the oxygen updater app" does ... If so, you'd have to locate that...

I can't verify these steps because I don't own the phone you have, but is this method part of your previous boot.img researches?

My 16GB Nexus 5 has downloaded OTA updates, but my choice is to manually flash the Android factory images. Where are the downloaded OTA updates kept in the filesystem please? I need to delete them in order to free up some space. I could search for them if I knew their naming conventions. Thanks.

Greetings, I could use some help with a replacement Nexus 5 please. The old one failed with a boot-loop, and research indicated a stuck power button, but the published fix didn't work for me. The vendor refunded price+shipping pending receipt, so I ordered a new one which arrived yesterday...
