From Android N ➔ 10, restoring from TB - Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers

Hello. It's been about 5 years, and a lot has changed:
-twrp is broken, fastboot fun times
-I've got to go "systemless" root for Google pay & safety net
-there's partitions A and B to worry about
But my main question is, with these things in mind, how am I going to restore from a TB backup from my old phone? (It has all my sms, call logs, apps and data, etc)
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction for how to achieve a rooted android 10 P3a that passes safety net and will allow me to restore my titanium backup, presumably using magisk as the root method.
Is the process straightforward or are there some extra steps and things to keep in mind, any major differences?
Thoughts, comments, questions, concerns? Do tell!

Alright buddy,
If I follow this guide, then install TB, then restore... If I get one single error along the way... Then I'm holding you personally accountable, Mr... Andisa, if that is your real name.

Don't worry guys, I've done the research and compiled a nice guide for you.
Step 1. Install TB and backup everything
2. Now install Split APK Installer
3. Set the filter settings as seen in this helpful image below:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Look at the list of all the apps that TB will fail to restore
5. Uninstall TB
6. Search for a modern-day complete backup and restore solution while continuing to pray that we'll someday return to the golden era of android custom development.

Looks like you owe me an apology.

You could also try the tools provided by my Android Backup Project. Those should work on Android 7 - 11 but unfortunately not yet tested much on non stick Android builds

HELP ! What after rooting???

Hello,
I have rooted my HTC Tattoo using universalAND root app. I want to know what can i do after rooting it?? and also if i want to install froyo 2.1 on it how do i do it ?
also will it work on my tattoo ?
Just search for Android Froyo 2.1 in Android Market and push the Update Button....
Wtf search the forums if you know nothing!
Yeah dude he's right do some research.. its not that hard.
I'l give you a quick list of what you can do:
Apps2SD (store apps on SD card)
CPU Overclocking (self explanatory0
FLASH A CUSTOM ROM (I highly recommend that is what you search for first)
Wireless Tethering (share internet connection with your PC)
And lots, lots more...
Your first point of research should most definitely be Flashing a Custom Rom.
But seriously how hard is it to just search google?
@ xtcislove : sorry for being so lazy...actually i was searching for things before posting this..but got really confused half way. thanks for your advice.
@ Android001 : thank you for the starting points..will get to it soon.
no problem..
you do realise he was joking about the market and update thing, you cant do that
yes... well i managed to root my tattoo with universaland root. installed titanium backup. its asking for busybox. when i try to do adb i keep getting an error. i searched the forums for an answer, but they r not helping. m attaching an image if u can just go through it and let me know what can de done..it will be gr8.

I cant see any picture?
I don't know much about the Tattoo because i use a Hero..
For BusyBox i know that it comes built in with most Custom Roms, I know for a fact that it comes with all Villain and Cyanogen Roms.
I think there is an application on the market that I have seen before that attempts to install BusyBox.. but that isn't guaranteed to work.
Does it not just install when Titanium Backup gives you the option to?
And why don't you just flash a Rom then you wont have all this trouble.
Okay a little bit i tell you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=544
Here you should have a look first.
1. Install a Recovery Image
2. Install a Custom ROM
3. Modify your Phone personally but carefully! Do not so much at the system and do not download things of other Phone Section´s!

Unable to boot into Clockwork Recovery on Nexus S

Hi all,
You may need to bare with me a little with all of this, I'm extremely new to it all.
I picked up my Nexus S on Monday after previously owning an iPhone and then a Windows Phone 7 handset, firstly I have to say that I can't believe I didn't get an Android phone sooner - they're leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in my opinion and offer a much better!
With the help of a set of instructions I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery to use Clockwork 3.0.0.5, from there I was able to install Superuser from the ZIP to root the device.
Everything is working and rooted but whenever I try and get into the Clockwork recovery it keeps chucking me into the standard recovery, I've tried from the bootloader and from ROM manager.
The problem I have is that I can't backup my ROM because it just takes me to the standard recovery and sits there.
I had a look around but couldn't find anything relating to this on the forum.
There was mention of something called 'sgs kernel flasher' but it states it wont run on Gingerbread which I'm running.
Any ideas?
If you have any questions of something I may have missed out I can answer those!
Sosmething very similar to me recently. I just reflashed the clockwork recovery via adb/fastboot and works like a champ now.

Thanks for the help guys, as I said I'm quite new to all this so sadly the thread title:
"Q about cwm 3.0+ and 2.3.2"
Didn't quite stick out to me!
Problem sorted now though, all backed up and new ROM installed - happy days!

Question Help returning T Mobile Oneplus 9 to out of box settings

Hello all.
I have a Oneplus 9 T Mobile variant that my son and his friend tried to install a Global Rom and I would like to return it back to stock. Problem is they lost track of what they did and now I do not know which way to go. I've read many threads and tried to educate my old ass before reaching out to you all. I used to be tech savvy but have been out of the game for far too long to remember most of the tricks. I would really appreciate it if someone can patiently guide me. I like to thank you in advance.
What I got out of them is they used THIS thread as a guide and magisk to root. They never backed up the stock rom and may have only flashed Slot_a. They uninstalled root to see if that helped. The phone works but can't update due to the unlocked bootloader that is greyed out. This is some info

Just would like to get it back to stock just where it was when I received it new. Thank you again.

Index of /list/Unbrick_Tools
Find the msm tool for your variant. It's here. Hold all 3 buttons,vol+& vol - plus power . This reboots edl and allows you to start msm tool. It restores to factory condition and locks the bootloader. Google msm tool for op9 to find out how to use properly.

This the one bud. And good luck
It worked! That was way too easy.
Thank you so very much my friend. I really do appreciate it.

And btw the device will update properly with just the bl unlocked. It's when you get into rooting and patching partitions that Google -ota runs a checksum on the partitions ,detects tampered and update fails. Enjoy your device

Any universal root that works on all phones? (Stuck rooting LG H486 KitKat)

I have exhausted every root method that might work for the LG486 and nothing works properly. The most I can get is super user appearing in the app list but not properly installed. It wasn’t a very common phone so it’s understandable that there is no working route.
My end goal is to edit edit build.prop, so that android 4.4.2 appears to apps to be android 6.0. I need to install a certain app on the phone.
All the options found via Google for root either do not work or lead to broken file links. I have also tried Universal options like Kingo Root and Androot but they don't work at all.
Is there any universal root that I could try which is supposed to work with any phone?
Or is anybody able to help me route this phone? I’m happy to pay for assistance. Thanks.
Simply editing build.prop doesn't help, IMO, because the files that make the Android OS ( read: libraries ) mostly changes from SDK version to SDK version, means apps compiled for Android 4.4.4 may not working properly on 4.4.4 onwards, and reverse.
Probably won't... but might. I'm open to other solutions if you have any.

Probably some pop ups will emerge if you fake that Android version...
And that app you wanted to change probably has some reason why it needs be that 6+ ...

Unfortunately this only half worked on the LG D486 (Wine Smart).
SU is installed but reports "There is no SU binary installed"... and RootChecker confirms not fully rooted. I can't edit root items such as build.prop.
However on the download boot screen, it did say in small red text, "ROOTED" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is anyone able to help fully root the LG D486?

Okay, you tested it already... maybe you should try it by hand then...
To see what's happening... lglaf.py might work if send_command.exe doesn't...
