Fear not, in this tutorial, you will learn on how to install a linux shell on your Windows OS!
To install a linux shell on Windows, there's a few solutions solutions that I usually prefer:
Msysgit
Cygwin
Powershell
In this tutorial, Msysgit is the program that will be installed as apart from giving you a linux shell, it gives you access to do git related things(clone a repo, fork repo) which is a very good plus
So, here's it, we'll install a linux shell on our Windows OS and have fun with it later on
Msysgit Installation:
1. Click here and download the latest version of msysgit(The latest version of the time of writing is 1.8.0 http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.8.0-preview20121022.exe&can=2&q=)
2. Open the installer and you will see something similar to this and click Next to continue
3. After that, you will be shown the gpl license as per shown below and click Next to continue
4. You will be prompted the location to install msysgit at. Click Next to continue
5. You will be prompted for additional settings, click Next to continue.
6. You will be prompted for the startup menu, click Next to continue.
7. You will be prompted for the path environment, select Use Git Bash only and click Next to continue.
8. You will be prompted for the line ending adjustment. Select Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style line endings and click Next to continue.
9. The installer will install the required files.
10. The installation has finished! Untick ReleaseNotes.rtf and click Finish to end the installation.
How to use:
1. Right click on an empty space at your desktop and click Git Bash.
2. Type your linux "hackish" commands!
The command that is used in the first screen shot is ls -la(directory listing with the file permissions of each file).
There's a lot of commands that you can play with, like echo, cat, uname, which, grep, sed, and many many more!
NOTE #1: For the best compatibility, cygwin would be preferred as it has a very complete set of linux commands built-in but Msysgit is less hassle to setup and it allows you to mingle around with Git once the setup is done which is a very good thing
NOTE #2: Msysgit is not preferred as a shell to create anything advanced like roms or kernels as the features that are available at mysysgit is rather limited(but it is enough for most users like us ).
There will be more tutorials which are related to Git and Linux will be made in the future, so read up fast and stay tuned for more contents! :fingers-crossed:

Is there a way to view the phone screen on pc with a broken screen? (7 edge+root+adb)

Hi!
My screen just broke and i want to view my phone somehow- is that possible?
I don't just want to backup or restore files but to actually see the screen like it looks on the phone (so i could go through apps\files and decide what i want to restore etc)
7 edge,full root and adb
Thank you!

You can use SCRCPY tool to mirror phone's screen on PC and thus also remotely control Android.

There is a hardware solution. If you have Micro USB, get a MHL cable and connect your phone to a monitor.
If you have USB-C get a Typ-C to HDMI Dock and connect your phone to a monitor, you cann attach mousse an Keyboard, too.

AFAIK those installers exist like sand on the sea. Also published here at XDA.
Worst mistake is you simply download and install ADB driver provided by Google WHAT ARE MEANT TO BE USED ON GOOGLE BRANDED PHONES ONLY.
Take note that all OEMs provide a specific ADB driver suitable to their phones.

Hello,
Thank you for your message. I understand that there are many types of ADB driver installers available and they are published on sites like XDA. However, what sets my script apart from other installers is that it automatically retrieves and installs the latest version of ADB drivers from Google servers, thus ensuring that they remain up-to-date. Additionally, it downloads and installs the latest Google USB drivers from Google servers, which simplifies the process of Windows devices recognizing your device. My script is minimalist and supports many Android devices.
Nevertheless, in some cases, you may need to download and install the original drivers for your device. Therefore, it is important for users to follow the necessary steps to ensure they install the correct drivers and recognize their devices.
Best regards,

and not from Google servers.

Madam, we obtain the latest drivers from the website that you have mentioned. As Android is owned by Google, the description referred to Google servers. Therefore, there is no problem.

Looks like a Google Server, doesn't it?
Android is Open Source and managed by the Open Handset Alliance, which is led by Google. So, the statement "Android is owned by Google" is an indirect correct answer.

What works works, what doesn't should be reported, be smart, investigate your issue before you report it. Report on Github
I offer a certain level of support with my releases, but I am a single guy working on lots of projects.
The release described here has been vetted by at least a dozen people across the Unihertz Titan line.
More join the ranks, literally every day.
There will be bugs. Almost nothing you do during this process can hard brick your device. Believe me, I've
put these phones through hell getting everything running.
You should have a certain level of technical inclination to take on the task of applying this software. I have
put documentation in place and built tools to assist you. It is pretty solid.
I offer no warranty on what happens after you install this software. None. Period. I will however offer
instructions on how to return to stock software.
I make no promises to how often I will build new releases, but will try to keep up with things. I do plan on supporting this project on
an ongoing basis.
LineageOS 20 is based on Android 13.
The Unihertz Titan, Pocket and Slim are a series of phones with physical keyboards.
The device tree is available if you want to build it yourself. See Instructions here.
Known Issues:​
Sim-based NFC Contactless payment
FM Radio does not work

Wow, seems this is worth to try on my Titan Slim.
But I have few questions:
Is it suitable for daily driver (I know there will be some bugs)?
Original Titan Slim had problem with wifi disconnections which were partialy solved by the stock firmware , but still WPA3 is not working and WPA2 + 802.11w (Management Frame Protection) is not working too.
Is this problem solved? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...os-20-networking-configuration-issue.4572379/
Can google apps be loaded together with the image or should be loaded later?
Will Blackberry keyboard work?
Most important, for me personally, are working Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V ion the hw keyboard....
Thanks

1 it is suitable for daily use.
2 i have not heard anything from the users to suggest issues with wifi exist. It is easy to revert to stock if you encounter issues.
3 yes, this is solved and packed into the system image by default.
4 they can be loaded manually or by magisk module.
5 yes, it works great. Many users use it.

Great! Thank you for your answers.
Google apps from this link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=322935 should be v13 and 64bit, I suppose?
Support for ctrl+v and ctrl+c is working or will it be functional soon?
Is there some instruction, how to safely revert to stock firmware availaible? I think it will be via adb, but I am asking to be sure.
Once again, thanks!

So, I am stucked at rooting, for now. I have been following these instructions: https://gist.github.com/rumplestilzken/1d66b6e3aae16ece75f06b00d466d246
Everything goes fine, without any error, to line 10. Then at line 11 "finalize settings and reboot" I don't know which settings exactly to finalize. I have tried "Direct install" too, but it didn't helped.
When typing "adb root" I get:
Code:
adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
Then adb remount and other commands doesnt work...
I have found this Magisk module: https://github.com/tiann/adb_root After its installation and reboot I get:
Code:
adb root
adbd is already running as root
But if I continue to adb remount I get:
Code:
adb remount
/system/bin/sh: /system/bin/remount: inaccessible or not found
What am I doing wrong? I have been trying various installations including newer Magisk 26.1

[DEV] Thor Flash Utility - The new Samsung flash tool

Thor Flash Utility​This is a flash utility for Samsung devices, made from scratch in C#.
To run this, you must have .NET 7 runtime installed on your computer.
Latest release can be found on GitHub - https://github.com/Samsung-Loki/Thor
This tool was tested and works flawlessly, I'm open for any bug reports.
List of platforms​1) Linux (USB DevFS method)
2) Windows (not implemented)
3) Mac OS (not implemented)
How's it different from Heimdall?​Fun fact: Official Odin for Linux works using DevFS, and people report it working when Heimdall didn't.
1) Is able to do NAND Erase All (aka erase userdata) and erase any partition, given the length.
2) Ability to shutdown and reboot into Odin mode (not supported on every device)
3) Not using a USB transfer library and doing it natively for best results
4) Extended the PIT parser with new information being discovered
5) Can flash directly from an Odin .tar / .tar.md5 archive
6) Works with .lz4 files directly without manual extraction
7) Implemented EFS Clear and Bootloader Update options in Odin
8) Is able to change the sales code of the device
Support me​If you would like to support me and my team, donate here.
We're a team of teens (at age of 14-15) making random projects for fun.
Current list of commands​The up-to-date list of commands can be found here.
Usage guide​A comprehensive usage guide can be found here.
What devices were tested?​1) SM-M205FN/DS from 2019 0x00030000 (Unknown1: 0, Unknown2: 0, Version: 3)
2) SM-G355H/DS from 2014 0x00020000 (Unknown1: 0, Unknown2: 0, Version: 2)
Frequently Asked Questions​1) A fatal error occurred. The required library something could not be found.
This is a Linux Package Mixup, use this as reference.
2) What happened to original Thor (or Hreidmar)
This is a rewrite of Thor written from scratch, so I could implement the native USB communication.
Also, the old codebase was severely flawed in my opinion. I archived it here.

This tool could probably be used in Termux or in a root shell if you somehow could install .NET 7 Runtime. But, it does require the phone to be rooted for Thor to be able to access the USB devices connected. And additionally, you need a (first phones USB) to (second phone's USB) cable to connect, or have some adapter to make it work.
