So the new security patch bricked my 8 pro into qualcomm crash dump screen.
I have done no funny business at all, yes my bootloader is unlocked and yes I have root. But it is only for basic things like titanium backup and permission ruler. I have never done anything crazy with my phone, never even flashed a rom, my phone has been rooted for well over a year and I always install all the security patches so this was super random and I'm pissed off.
Anyways I cannot find a video about recovering the phone without erasing everything and I thought this was only necessary when you DON'T have an unlocked bootloader. I thought it was possible to flash oxygen with fastboot and it fixes the problem. But I just dont know exactly how to do this and I didnt want to screw up anything. I'm totally fine with losing root and having the bootloader locked again I just really want to save my data. Any help and I would be grateful, because at this point I'm going to work tommorow without my phone.

Locked my phone S8 plus

Hello everybody,
I had a bit too many drinks with my gf and set a new password for my phone and then we went out and i thought i lost my phone even though it was all the time at home so i locked it with find my phone (its a SAmsung galaxy s8 plus) so i locked it and i forgot what i set as my password. So was wondering is there any possible way to make the phone workable? like i thought maybe installing some custom rom or something? Any help would be appreciated.

[CLOSED] Fake/Clone p40 pro

Hi folks!
Recently I've bought a p40 pro clone that is driving me crazy.
I can't barely use it as all the tweaks to make it look like a better phone are provoking some apps to fail. The about phone screen says that is a p40pro (without spaces), the CPU is a MT6799 when in reality is a MT6580, 12Gb of RAM but is 1Gb, Android 10.1 but it's 5.1, hahaha, it can't be more fake, but no regrets, I have what I've paid for!!!.
My initial idea with this crappy thing was to upgrade the android version to 6.x, but everything is pretty tough, at least with my little knowledge in custom roms, kernel etc.
First of all I'm not able to install TWRP on it. I can't find or make a working version:
I thought that this model was pretty similar and I tried with the TWRP included on the thread about a p40pro+, but the touchscreen after entering recovery was somehow inverted and seemed laggy: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/alps-clone-p40-pro-wish-com.4211591/
With the one at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unknown-china-device-p40-pro.4200617/post-85249887 it don't work too.
Finally I came to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ediatek-mt67xx-64bit-new-32bit-phone.3681861/ and I managed to make a custom TWRP which initially seemed to work (the touchscreen was fine) but the sd card data was unavailable, I was like missing but if I reboot the mobile it properly boot. Maybe because I choose an incompatible model to port from.
So, I'm running out of ideas, please can someone give me a hand on that super ultra fake thing?
Here is the full rom dump, preloader and recovery:
https://mega.nz/file/2M80XY7C#0kw7qVQ5498tDrt4UdUNq49lANIO3RvS73ct6DoCPO0
I'll really appreciate any suggestion on getting a new rom for this phone, and obviously how to get twrp on it, root, and if possible a rom which makes this fakephone at least useable.
Zillions of thanks in advance!!! Take care!

Please help me!!!

Note- please read the post carefully to avoid any missing information. Thanks in advance
I am using samsung galaxy j7 2016 and rooted it using magisk. But when i tried to revert to stock after getting bored, it booted up and showed no command screen after flashing and on pressing volume up+ power button, it showed some recovery logs(image attached). Now i dont know where the issue came from. I also wiped efs by mistake but restored it somehow.
Now i decided to flash custom rom to fix this issue. I chose the rom which is flashable version of my stock rom. It booted up normally and showed all the efs info normally. But then i did the most foolish thing, i turned off developer options by mistake which also turned off oem unlock. I rebooted the device for no reason and phones says ' custom binary blocked by frp lock'. I tried to flash stock rom again to fix this issue but it encountered no command error again and i either cant access stock recovery.
Is there any way to unlock oem in download mode and fix no command issue.
I want to recap that i have a phone with inaccessible stock rom, locked oem and no access to recovery except download mode.
Please help me
