I've got a PPC 6700Q through Qwest and even thought it's on Sprint's network and is basically a Sprint phone, I can't install the AKU2 update onto it.
Can anyone point me to a way to get stereo bloothooth on this thing? [A2DP?]
Bump for help, please. ANY help at all???
Any way to get A2DP on this phone???
check out this thread from pdaphonehome.com might help: http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71436
it does indicate the need for the update, but it may be worth a try anyway.
I just installed it a few minutes ago on a test phone, but have not tested as I don't have bt headphones yet.
hint: someone posted a cab in the above thread, it's several posts down on the first page.
-much luck

Hi All,
My 10 y.o. son changed the lockscreen password on his Kindle Fire 2 HD 7" and is now unable to access. He has used all but 2 of the allowed unlock attempts, and is now 2 tries away from an automatic factory reset. The device has all stock settings, has not been rooted nor any other modifications. I'm trying to figure out if there is anything I can do to crack/read/reset the lockscreen PIN / password with the device in its current state, or if a factory reset is the only option? The big issue is he does not want to lose his game save data. I work in IT, and am very comfortable with both Linux & Windows command line tools. Is it possible for me to access the files on his Kindle, or to perform root modifications while unable to get past the lock screen password? I have read many posts on this forum, but cannot find one which speaks to my specific situation. Thanks in advance for any replies!

Thanks for the link; I am not sure if USB Debugging / Enable ADB is enabled on this Kindle Fire HD device. If it is not, will this approach work? Since the lock screen password is unknown, I am not able to go into the device & check/modify this setting.
The YouTube video is not of practical use, since I am trying to avoid having to perform a factory reset.

No, the instructions there assume you have debugging enabled AND your computer is added to the list of authorized computers (on the device) to send adb commands. That's a nice little security feature Google added recently to prevent stolen devices from being hacked into

Thanks, so if I'm reading this correctly - if I am unable to connect via ADB, I have no option except for the factory reset? Am I able to root the device while the lock screen password is unknown, or would that process also be blocked to me? The factory reset is easy enough, and I know we can reinstall his games, apps, and books - but the big problem (for my son at least!) is that he will lose all of his Dragonvale progress save data!
I have a different approach on it that may be more complicated and I don't know the full method of doing this, but if u can flash twrp onto the recovery and the custom bootloader for kf2 (is it fff?) Then in twrp u could mount the partition, plug it into your pc, and copy the data folder for that game. But I am unfamiliar with the process for modifying the boot loader on kf2's since I don't have one. I know u could probably flash twrp from fastboot, but idk if the kf2 has be booted up with adb and root to install fff. Probably could force it into recovery by softbricking it but I don't suggest doing that from fastboot because it might hard brick if u flash a bad image for all I know. Only way I can think of safely getting it to soft brick and go into twrp is to get someone else with a rooted kf2 to do something like use adb to move their framework-res.apk to sdcard and then backup the system partition while the kindle is in a broken state and pull the backup, then put their framework back, chmod it and reboot and hand u the system image that's broken so u could flash it from fastboot. Usually when you do something like this the ki dle will go into recovery. Told ya my method was really complicated and well slightly risky.

As you are an IT experts, you may try to unlock your lock screen password with some free tool, such as Ophcrack. Also you can try other Windows Password Recovery tools to keep all data safe. I got this Youtube video: youtu.be/QyGptsC3VLg
It's a Verizon Pixel XL 32gb running build NDE63X fully stock.
I've tried everything mentioned in normal and safe mode through multiple reboots, power downs, etc.
Phone won't connect to cell data but will connect to wifi. It states that cell data is turned off but if I turn it back on it immediately turns back off without ever connecting.
Windows 10 file manager as well as Thunar and Nautilus file managers for Ubuntu 16.04 all show the pixel as a network device but won't show anything there.
Fastboot will show ID from bootloader
ADB won't show anything anywhere.
When I click developer options it says "Developer options are not available for this user" (This seems damned suspicious and seems likely to be what's grieving me)
Home button ONLY does the animations and nothing else. The recent apps button doesn't do anything however the back button works.
I tried using google cloud to back up the photos but it never uploads anything anywhere, just sits there saying it's uploading X images (I've tried single pictures as well as sets of pictures, videos, and anything else I could think to try.
I'm pretty confident that a factory reset will resolve everything but I can't do this until I can get photos off. I've been googling, DDGing, and all around scraping xda, reddit, and anywhere else I can think of. Any help or suggestions would be great!

What you could do is download "ES File Explorer" from the play store and when opened, navigate to Network>remote management. It will give you an IP and a port. Pop this into an ftp client on your computer such as Filezilla Client. It will list your device and you can copy to a desired location on your computer
Can you email, bt file share, install Dropbox or OneDrive and turn photo back up on, plug in the otg adapter and a flash drive, adb pull files, share to google drive? Last resort display them on screen and take a pic with another camera.
Go into settings and see which user you are signed in with. Maybe that is the problem.

I'm not sure you read my post... adb isn't doing anything. It should, but doesn't. This is likely due to developer options being inaccessible as I mentioned in the OP. Uploading the files hasn't worked with Google Drive and should. I admit that I haven't tried with Dropbox or OneDrive due to not having accounts with either group but if other solutions don't work I can try making a dropbox. Wired transfer has been a bust, again, thoroughly mentioned in OP.

I'm signed in as Name being the correct name of the user. I've tried clicking on it to switch users to attempt to resolve the issue but to no avail. There should only be the one user on the device and they should have full permissions but this doesn't seem to be the case, though I can find no alternate user account.
Maybe dd the data partition from fastboot and mount it in Linux to copy the files
I had exactly the same issue. This seems to be an issue of a "dirty" flash. On Marshmallow this issue happened sometimes, and the cause was that Android expects the Setup Wizard to be running. There is a flag which forces the WIzard to start, but I couldn't get this fix running on 7.1.1.
I installed an FTP Server on my Pixel and fetch the data off there.
There was no other way that to completely wipe the device. This will be the last time I will ever buy a phone without a SD card slot. With my Samsung device I could easily flash forth and back, because all my data was on my SD card, not being affected by a full wipe / reflash.

Also I assume the home button does not work like properly, correct?

Long story short: I have a new Poco X3 NFC on the way I want to extract the mail database from K-9 Mail on my aging Mi A2 Lite. I am still using POP3 (silly me) and I would somehwat hate to lose all my local mail copies on my phone. It's not possible to get to the database without root and my phone isn't rooted. Root can only be achived with unlocked bootloader but unlocking the bootloader will wipe all data.
I've read this super cool guide to evade the wipe by marstonpear but from the comments it seems that this doesn't work on Android Q (or 10) which my phone is at.
Can anyone confirm that this really doesn't work on Q?
Is there a way to downgrade without unlocking the bootloader or am I stuck?
Okay I've dug um some more info that I previously didn't find. Supposedly the method still works on V11.0.5.0.QDLMIXM. My phone is at the more recent V11.0.12.0.QDLMIXM. Since the differences should mostly be security updates this raises my confidence that the methode will still work on my phone. Will try once my Poco X3 NFC has arrived.
You may be able to use adb backup without unlocking the bootloader to backup the k9 data and restore to the new phone?
The bootloader unlock without data wipe is possible but be very careful. Lots of people have lost data.

You can try to activate a mailbox with a provider with IMAP service. You configure it on k9 and move the emails to the new account verifying that they are also copied to the server via imap service. After on the new mobile you can decide to move them back to the main account.
Sorry for my bad english

Thank you for the hints, but I think adb backup is exclusively not supported due to privacy concerns. All in all the backup / migration situation on Android is still extremely terrible.

Thank you, that's an interesting approach. I will try to figure this out before trying to unlock the bootloader as this seems less prone to complete dataloss.
I know next to nothing about how IMAP works besides that all mail reside on the server and are centrally organized (and synced between clients?). I've always used POP3 and it works well enough for me. Thunderbird on the PC with POP3 is my main client so I never felt the need to switch, in fact IMAP wasn't even supported for a long time with my main email provider and space was scarce.

Why? I made and restored backup exactly on V11.0.12.0.QDLMIXM using adb. Can't tell you how to unzip the backup * .ab file. But I am sure it is possible.
Thanks for the input alsgs4. I can certainly give it a try but I do not have high hopes for it to work.
Edit: I tried and it doesn't seem to work. I only get a 549 bytes file if I use:
adb backup -f k9.ab -apk com.fsck.k9
Either the package name is wrong or it just doesn't work.
Okay so I just found out, that supposedly my main email account (web.de) is added as an IMAP account in K-9 but something is weird. I tried to move a not so important mail from the inbox to the archive folder and in K-9 it moves to mail to the archive folder but it's not reflected on the account itself at all when checking in the web.de web login. I tried again with a secondary email account (outlook.com) that has always been IMAP and it works there like it should (moving back and forth between inbox and archive folder with phone and web login). Maybe web.de is just weird / crappy.
I managed to unlock the bootloader without wiping date following the instructions below - but be careful to follow it to the letter:
USB debug ON
OEm unlock ON
Then connect the phone to your PC:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock - start pressing only vol down button and then hit enter, HOLD vol down until the phone boots into fastboot mode again.
fastboot reboot - start pressing only vol down button and then hit enter, HOLD vol down until the phone boots into fastboot mode again.
Now you are ready to boot into your system. Either boot by holding power button or typing - fastboot reboot then press enter
Make sure you dont actually hit ENTER on the fastboot steps UNTIL you've started pressing the vol down button on your phone
I also had to be quick with typing the fastboot commands on the PC when using the adb commands
After that you can then root using magisk patched boot.img file - let me know if you need the instructions on how to do this
Thank you FOREST37. I am aware of this method as can be seen by the link I've embedded into the text of my first post. I was just uncertain if it still worked for Android 10.
My X3 NFC arrived yesterday. I will report back if everything works out.
Okay I've finally found the time to unlock the bootloader on my Mi A2 Lite and the guide from marstonpear worked like a charm on system version V11.0.12.0.QDLMIXM . Time to flash TWRP / Magisk / Titanium Backup and use root to start digging for that mail storage. Thanks to everyone who's provided some help to me on this topic.
Okay I got TWRP installed via this guide, and flashed Magisk, installed Titanium Backup and at first the K9 backup failed but now it seems to have worked and the TB folder doesn't turn up empty like on the first two tries. No idea what's going on there. Transfered everything over to my new phones external SD and tried restoring the app. After 20 minutes the restore was still not done. Rebooted the phone, reinstalled K-9 via Google Play Store and restored the apps data only in TB and it's finally working! Looks like the Android backup / migration situation has become even worse. What a bl**dy odyssey. Thanks again to anyone who provided information to get this done.
Hi everyone,
Iam running my G981B with Android 11 and One UI 3.1.
- I debloated it using the following post Ultimate Debloat S20.
- I reinstalled "com.samsung.android.knox.containercore" and "com.android.managedprovisioning"
When I try to setup Shelter I get the message "Device cannot be setup. If you need assistance please contact..."
When I try to setup Island I get the message "Setup of the work profile not possible. Security rules of your company..."
For Island there is the possibility to do a manual setup: Island Manual Setup
However, if I execute "pm create-user --profileOf 0 --managed Island" I get the most useless response "Error: couldn’t create User".
fw.max_users is set to 10...
Is that a common problem or do I just oversee anything else which I might have debloated and blocks the process right now ?
Thanks for any help !
Okay... obviously tripped knox prevents the device from creating a work profile.
Seriously...
So is there any viable workaround to get something like Shelter or Island running ?
I'll ask to move your thread to Q&A.
I kind of solved my problem by facilitating Samsungs' Dual Messenger functionality.
If dual messenger gets enabled it sets up a separate user profile which is used with a workprofile in order to run multiple messenger app instances.
The beauty is that you can use this to install any app within that profile using adb. So basically the feature is not limited to those few apps you can tick from the settings menu.
Credit goes to @VincentThacker who is describing the procedure here:
Add non-messenger apps to Samsung Dual Messenger?
So the creation of parallel workspaces is blocked in the Security Policy of 8.0, preventing multiple copies of the same app. However, Samsung's Dual Messenger still successfully copies apps it sees as messenger apps, and allows them to run just...
forum.xda-developers.com
One additional hint from my side:
- If you install aurora through ADB in the work profile all apps you install from this version of aurora automatically get installed on the work profile as well. So no need for installing apks through adb afterwards anymore.

Actually, it doesn't seem to be Knox related: If I setup the phone (Samsung S20) from scratch without FBE encryption (by flashing multidisabler), I can set up Island with the root way and/or by ADB.
If I set up the phone with encryption, Island can't be set up like described here.

Good to know. However having the device unecrypted just to use Island is not an option. Currently Iam quite happy with facilitating Samsungs Dual Messenger functionality for it.
