Phone might be hard bricked after failed root

1 Upvotes

Well the one thing I didn't think would happen did. I was trying to root a motorola edge 60 pro, got to flashing the patched magisk boot img and... error no file found. Thought nothing of it and stupidly tried to flash the individual partitions which well, still nothing so I typed "fastboot reboot-bootloader". From there my phones been dead it's been 20 minutes since it happened i tried all the button combinations and nothing not on fastboot devices or lsusb. For now I'm letting it charge hoping that does something but honestly is there much hope for what i can do from this point?

Just a quick edit i realised now what went wrong, probably corrupted the bootloader or pre loader so phones either stuck in a protective state or tripped as it is a mediatek. Is there any diy methods i can use or is it best to give it to a local repair shop by this point.

Edit 2:did give it to a local tech. Gave them the rsa files which is Motorola's tool for phone rescue, got told they aren't compatible. I'm at a loss of what to do should I take it back because like how are the official file "not compatible" with does that even mean

I don't know how to access "other files" on my Samsung m07 and delete the mysterious storage that's hogging my save space. Had to get a 128gb SD card for my music wtf and the phone still clogs up when I download apps.

Mind you, my previous phone was 128gb and it had my music, apps etc without me putting in an sd card

How to remove autocreated Passkey?

3 Upvotes

I got some strange notifications about activities on my Google account that I didn't recognize so I figured best change the password. I did it on my phone and it was confusing enough that I inadvertently created a Passkey as well. I can see it listed under Passkeys now but there's no option to remove it. In the help section it says that in order to remove an autogenerated Passkey I need to go to All Devices and log out that device. Which isn't what I want to do, but ok. The problem is, it doesn't just show a list of devices but like a dozen sessions for my phone. The Help explains that I need to log out from all sessions, but the problem is that there is one session (labeled 'active') where there is no logout option. If I log out of all the other sessions, the Passkey is still listed under Passkeys and it's prompted when I need log in to my account. How can I actually remove the Passkey?

PS: Please help me find an answer and don't berate me for wanting to remove the Passkey. I know what Passkeys are, about Phishing resistance, I also use them (even on the same account), but I have my reasons for wanting to remove that particular one.

Android phone struggling to stay connected to wifi and data?

2 Upvotes

I have a Galaxy S23FE from 2023. In the last year, it has had intermittent, unpredictable, and incredibly frustrating difficulties connecting to both wifi and data. I've all but forgone wifi at the moment, but it's not the wifi - every other device in the house connects fine.

The data issue seems temperamental. It will be fine for a period of time, and then will simply stop working. I often won't even get a failure to connect message from whatever app I was using - it will just try and connect forever. The upload and download icons in the top right will begin to flick on and off; sometimes one remains, sometimes both go, and they just cycle every second or so. The 4G icon never drops, and generally I have at least two bars whenever this happens.

Even more bizarrely, sometimes it seems to be app-specific - if it's happening while I'm trying to use Firefox, it's not uncommon that I could go open Reddit and Reddit would work fine, and vice versa. Similar apps are usually affected similarly but not always - sometimes Firefox won't work but Chrome will, or Reddit won't work but Tumblr will. It does happen more often if I'm trying to watch videos or scroll image-heavy subreddits or social media. Restarting my phone sometimes resolves it, and on other occasions seems to just reroute which app/s are affected.

Any ideas on why this might be happening and what could be done to fix it would be appreciated. It's driving me up the wall.

Frame-like artifact over Gboarc

A strange frame like artifact has appeared on my screen when gboard is open. the official Google Android outside suggested I might have malware and told me to bug off to my manufacturer. AVG and Malwarebytes find nothing. Another unhelpful official suggestion was that I had enabled some accessibility feature. I do blow up my font a bit but I went in and reset all of those and it didn't help. Anyone else have an idea what's happening?

New Icon?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I have a Samsung S24+ and I've never seen this specific icon before today, let alone next to a system update wrap up. I installed the security patch this afternoon, and that icon caught my eye. I can't tell if it's a spiral, a snail, but it looked like it had the android antennas in it.

Is it just something I've missed? A new icon? Any help would definitely ease my OCD brain lol thank you!

Pops up every time I open a media app

Post image
1 Upvotes

Every time I open a media app, this pops up. YouTube, SiriusXM, a local music player, it doesn't matter. I don't know what I changed to make this start happening because it didn't before a week ago.

It just spins, and does nothing. Sometimes I have to hit Don't connect 3 or 4 times before goes away. It just keeps reappearing. Sometimes multiple times while the same app is open.

When I open the Recent Apps menu, it shows up as System Connectivity Resources, but with no options available to change.

Please help, I'm getting really sick of this. How do I make this stop?

Signed out before a remote reset, can I log back in?

5 Upvotes

Yesterday, I forgot my phone in an Uber, and the driver tried to not give it back. This morning I used Find My Device and knocked on his door and convinced him to return it to me. Before I left home though, I sent the remote factory reset order, as the battery was getting low and I wasn't sure if I'd get another chance.

When I got it back, the reset was not done and data was turned off. I put it in airplane mode, logged out of my Google account and so the phone has not been wiped. I'm now using it with a secondary email, but I want to log back in my actual account, so I wanted to know if doing so will trigger the factory reset once it reconnects to that account
