What do u mean by almost compatible? Flashing a custom ROM not meant for ur device is bound to cause problems, including bricking ur device!

And md5 checksum error means that the downloaded rom is either corrupted or broken.

If you want to port a rom, there are many guides here on XDA. Try this for a start:

Stuck in the startup

Alright, forgive me for being forgetful of certain information. Just ask/instruct me if you need more specifics.

So, today I uploaded the PAC-man nightly rom to my Galaxy S 3 (verizon). Flashed with clockwork, installed Gapps, etc. Flash was succesfull.

However: when I rebooted the thing, it simply got stuck in the loading animation. I let it run for an hour.

After fruitless searching for a solution, I said **** it and installed the Illusion rom. Even reistalled gapps. And now its rolling through its loading animation. Stuck. :/

It is rooted, though I don't rememeber what rom I had on it before. I just wanted 4.3 ;_;

Evening matey,

Subjective question. Only way to find out would be to actively test enabled and not enabled and make a judgment of your own usage. It would free up cpu cycles and available ram, so making the game quicker, but in doing so then may use higher cpu values more often, then using more battery.

Two things you could try : restore a backup before installing that module, if you have any. Or you could install a custom launcher, like the poco launcher and use an icon pack. The poco launcher from xiaomi is strikingly similar to the stock one, use it with a stock looking icon pack

Got a Redmi 9 (Lancelot) with MIUI 12. Sometimes it gets frozen even when browsing social media, an not to mention how bad it gets just by playing music while gaming something fairly light. I was thinking about installing a custom ROM to improve my device in some categories such as performance and battery. The issue is that as far as I know, there are no custom ROMS made specifically for this device and there are no plans for making them either. The only way for me to install HAVOC OS (for example), is by using a GSI, but I do not know if it is really stable or if it is even worth it to install it this way. I would appreciate your recommendations as I am a noob in the subject, thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] SMOKEzmn:
Bro(in my opinion) you will face some issues like touch issues and auto rebooting and certain system lag but if you are a gamer your fps will increase but network issues may occur some times and worst cases the touch panel won't respond. This is what happen to me when I installed the evolution x rom based on A11 and I switched back to miui rom.. basically miui give you more features and stuff so I recommend you that try reinstalling you stock rom(as I said it'sjust my opinion)

You can do whatever you wish🤗
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Depends on each device. Some, like the one from the previous post, reacts badly with gsi's. Some might not. I have a huawei tablet, works quite good. Can't really complain about it. Havoc is good. Also see CAOS. And try installing nik gapps. Some get more stable results using those instead of opengapps.

Hey there,

I'm was rooting with Magisk for the first time and I followed this guide for the OnePlus Nord:

How to root the OnePlus Nord with Magisk

If you have gotten your hands on the new OnePlus Nord, here are the steps you can follow to easily unlock the bootloader and root the Nord with Magisk.

www.xda-developers.com

I do not have wifi, I can't call, my phone is crashing and restarting after every 2 min use.

I thought that I needed to restore it back to OxygenOS and I used this guide:

How to Restore OnePlus Nord Back to Stock OxygenOS Software - A Complete Guide

In this guide, we will show you how to restore the stock OxygenOS software on the OnePlus Nord by flashing the factory image/Fastboot ROM. Things like custom ROMs, TWRP, and Magisk root are pretty…

www.thecustomdroid.com

After it didn't work I simply tried https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-unlock-bootloader-oneplus-nord-magisk/ (the first guide) in order to root again but without any result.

Is there a way to restore my phone without any problems?

[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
So, for starters, since this is your first time, did you read all the thread about flashing a patched boot image with magisk? The entire thread, not just the first page. If not, that's your first mistake. Read everything you can. Doubt you do want to have a hard bricked smartphone afterwards. There were reports of wifi not working there, doubt you saw those. Also, check exactly what device variant you have. You have to flash that boot image. Not anything else. these smartphones are finicky. Do the wrong things and you will end up with a beautiful and expensive paper lweight.

Second, my suggestion would be to stick with xda tutorials or oneplus forums tutorials. There are a lot of web sites out there, but they could let out important informations or commands. Not everything on the internet is true. Take it with a grain of salt. Read, read and read again. If you have questions, ask them before jumping into experimenting. That if you value having a working phone. Paperweight are always nice.
[General Questions and Answers] Dnupselina:
Hey there

First of all, a very big THANK YOU to all that help others (like me) here. You're great!

I already posted this in another help forum on xda, but the last reply from a 'savant' was in May 2020, So I'm afraid that the thread is deserted. Sorry for the double-post then.

I also discuss this issue with somebody else here on xda. But he/she's not a pro either, he/she says.

Now, Why I'm writing here:

I tried to install LineageOS 17.1 on a BV5500pro device (MediaTek) according to this guide. It's not the first time I do root or flash a custom ROM, but I'm far away from being a pro. I did this using my HP ProBook with Debian 10 (kernel version 4.19.0-13-amd64). Fastboot and adb installed. MK67xx drivers not sure, I think not. But communication with the phone was always neatless.

Now, I have problems with flashing TWRP. I did it according to this quide, since the download link in the guide mentioned above didn't work. So I flashed with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Then, afaik, you have to boot directly into TWRP after installing it, which is what I did (or rather: tried). After about 20x of flashing and rebooting again, I managed to boot into TWRP once directly after a flash. (Booting into recovery on a BV5500pro is very annoying - you can't directly boot into bootloader or recovery, you have always to pass a selection screen to select recovery/fastboot/normal mode).

When I finally managed to boot into TWRP, the problem was, that the screen was not responding and TWRP asked me for a password to decrypt the storage. But the phone shouldn't have any encrypted storage?!?!

Then I tried flashing several other TWRP images I found on the net. I did not manage to boot onto them. At some point, a 'Orange state' Warning message started to appear on boot, but this didn't change anything except the 5sec boot delay.

Then I got frustrated and told me: "Hum, why not try to install LineageOS without TWRP?" Since I didn't find any guide to do this without TWRP (except by SPflash tool, which I didn't manage to get to work on my laptop), I thought that I can just wipe cache, system and data partition with fastboot erase <partition>, which was obviuosly a very bad idea. Sorry for that. Then I tried to flash LineageOS by fastboot flash system <LineageOS-file>, which worked obviously not.

Since then I can neither boot into recovery nor boot normally, and the phone is stuck in a bootloop with showing orange state message for 5 sec then reboot.

Fastboot is luckily no problem, I reach fastboot mode without any problems and I can communicate with the device through the fastboot commands by terminal.

So, how do I manage to make TWRP work? When I have TWRP, I think LineageOS will not be a problem (or at least I hope so).

So, I really appreciate any help I can get. It's the phone of my boyfriend and we hope both that I can fix this :)

Cheers and thanks in advance!

You mentioned that you re-installed Poco launcher several times, what about clear caches and data from the settings app? Also take a look on Miui folder, on sdcard, there is where Miui places the icons; you could try at last resource delete completely the folder then restart device, Miui will recreate the folder when you enter to Themes. Of course assuming that you used the uninstaller mod that have magisk in-built (through recovery)

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You're constantly calling nightmares, How do you try to go to the next level without successfully approve the first level?

If your device can boot to system you can use adb to boot directly to recovery.

The touch issue with recovery is the drivers, it was a known issue with mt67xx variants that I also faced in the past until I solved with a complicated long time of hex edition and more headache but I guess you could see at the developer site where TWRP was provided to have an answer directly from him.

In the meantime you could use a OTG mouse to control device, the SoC supports it. About decrypt is not really needed unless you need to access for some special reason to the internal storage, if you don`t care about data you could format data and you`re done.

After to flash TWRP you have to start from a device totally off that is not the case when using SP Flash tool so device still remains in download mode, I mean you need first disconnect device from PC (when TWRP was flashed) then press simultaneously the three buttons to get it off aprox... for 10 seconds, then press vol up + pwr buttons, when the first screen is displayed release pwr button and keep pressing vol up, it may take around 12 seconds to access to TWRP.

About the warning screen with red letters; is normal when bootloader was unlocked, with some research in the future you could replace the boot splash even edit it.

And finally about the drivers, no way to jump this step, you must have all the drivers needed properly installed, unintall all that you have including those for other devices in case there is any and search and install the drivers for your specific model or around 67xx series, adb drivers, VCom drivers, preloaders drivers.
[General Questions and Answers] Dnupselina:
Thank you, SubwayChamp, for your fast reply!

Well, there you're completely right.

Ok. Unfortunately, it can't boot to system. Only fastboot mode and recovery (sometimes).

Oh, yes, the OTG mouse trick! I completely forgot! Thanks!

Ok, I'll retry like this. It's difficult, since the phone always restarts on his own, without me pressing any buttons, but I'll try this with the three buttons simultaneously to power it down and wait then 10 sec or so.

Ok. Is it possible to communicate with the phone (normal file transfer, before I tried to flash custom ROM etc.), transfer files etc. if the drivers are not installed? Because I heard that in recent Linux kernels, the MediaTek 67xx drivers should already be present naturally? And normal file transfer was possible before. But I'll check that.

Thank you again!
[General Questions and Answers] Dnupselina:
So, about booting to recovery:

It works approx. every 10th time I try. What I do:

1. phone powered off

2. Hold volume up + power until boot mode selection screen appears, then release all buttons

3. Select recovery mode with volume up, then confirm with volume down

4. the phone reboots (screen goes black for about 1 sec), Blackview logo is shown (as well as a 'orange state' warning message), 5 sec delay because of orange state.

Then, when I'm lucky, I get this:

5. screen goes black for 1/2 sec

6. TWRP is open, screen not responding, asking for password for decryption

But most of the time I get:

5. screen coes black for approx. 2 sec

6. phone reboots and tries to boot normally. Bootloop again

With your method explained above, I manage to power the phone off and boot to this boot mode selection screen (I don't know how it's called, there you can choose between recovery mode, fastboot mode and normal mode). Then everything goes as described above.

I remarked that after a fresh TWRP flash it's more likely that I manage to boot into recovery. But it's very arbitrarily, I really don't understand it....
