Why do we disable force encryption and keep phone decrypted? why dont we like to keep it encrypted coz thats more secure?? Plz someboy explain?? Is there any disadvantage of staying encrypted while flashing a rom
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Some roms refuse to boot if it's encrypted, depends on your smartphone. custom recovery doesn't work, so if any problem happens, you will lose all you data. Also, encryption requires stock boot image, so no magisk or supersu either.

Hi!

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S and I'm having a hard time trying to find a new wireless headphone.

In regards to CAF builds, this I believe is standard AOSP + fixes for specific chipsets or SoCs made by Qualcomm.

Is there any benefit of using CAF tags which were made for different SoCs in a phone with a different SoC?

For example, for my phone's SoC Qualcomm / CAF have not published one single CAF tag or system image for our phones chipset, but why are there some claimed "CAF" ROMs for my phone using tags from different SoCs? Seems mad to me?

Galaxy Note 10+ (AT&T Snapdragon) OTA Bootloop

During "OTA" software update today to "Android 11"and "OneUI 3.0" I got stuck in a "Bootloop" after Restart button for Update to Finish was clicked.

Yes:

- I tried Recovery but it only brings up "SS RDX" I think it was and I have no options for Factory Reset or Recovery.

- I tried to read Recovery Logs but the Directory was Null.

- Battery was 80% and Charging.

- Almost 60gb Remaining on the Rom.

- Full Service & Connected to well good enough Wifi

- I even called tech support lol but we all know how that went.

- I can Get to where I can install custom ROM and Void my Warranty which I no longer have so is fine

No:

- Its not Rooted

- I didnt lose service or Wifi Connection

- I didnt hit any buttons or Prematurely Power off or reset. (I waited for "Restart" button as per all OTA)

I have Odin 3 Downloaded on my PC along with ADB & USB drivers but am not certain about which ROM I need to acquire so I can attempt to Reflash the drive and attempt to fix the Framework or Kernel hopefully that is. And yes, thank god USB Debugging was Enabled under Developer Options Pre Boot Loop.

So my Question is do I flash stock rom from Android 9 (pie) that came on the Note 10+ or do I flash the Android 11 Rom?

Or since the Update Failed and sent me into a Boot loop do I need to Flash Android 10?

Sorry for the Noob Question or if asked in the wrong place. I just need to know that the Rom I use is for sure the correct one I need lol so I dont completely brick my device and render it further useless. I have never done this before but am confident I have the rest worked out. I'm just stumped here lol

Thankyou for any advice in advance

hello. i own the newer Lg Stylo 6 and have this strange issue after performing a system format/reset on the phone.

any game i now play which was on the phone before resetting is thinking i am on a new device. these are games that associate by the device and you can usually transfer with a code or something.

on my old phone this never happened ever once, and was an LG K7.

what could have caused this? how can i fix it and/or prevent it from happening again?

on a side note, i am am unable to view the S/N through About Phone. it just says Not Available.

Hi guys,

I have an Oppo F1s, running Android 5.1 with the latest official update (link provided). This update did not change Android version.

The phone has started to show some signs of age (apps not being supported, poor battery life, etc.), and I was considering flashing the Android 11 factory images available from Google or Android 10 images, if available anywhere (investing is a new device is not feasible for me at this stage).

My main question reveloves around the feasibility of this option, in that will it work at all, or just end up bricking the phone?

If it is possible, which one of the several images on Google's site to use? They all appear to be for Google devices, which my curent phone is clearly not.

What are my options in case of a bad flash? Is there any way to recover the device?

Warranty expired a while ago, and data loss is not an issue for me.

I know some of these are likely frequent qusstions, but as a New User, I'll take any help you guys have to offer.

Thanks in advance

What's the difference between refresh rate and antutu benchmark in mobile gaming? I'm a bit confused because the Poco X3 NFC has an older CPU/gpu and half the benchmark of Poco F2 pro but the X3 has refresh rate of 120Hz/sample touch refresh 240Hz while the F2 pro is 60Hz refresh/ 180Hz sample touch refresh.

I'm having an issue as well like wise to yours in a sense but you cant just flash any rom atleast not for my samsung. You need to go off your model number and stuff exactly for your phone.

So you couldnt take that download off that google site and use it to flash let's say my note and your phone cause it's not universal from what I'm gathering but I could be wrong so just make sure so u dont brick it

okay... the S/N is now appearing on the phone, but that hasn't solved my device issue with games.

i just did another factory reset on the phone to see if it would happen again... sure enough, it happened again. so, every time this phone is reset some kind of information is changed that is causing games to see it as a different device.

this seem highly unusual and never happened with the LG K7.

is this normal? is there no way to get back my original information?

anyone?

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, you can´t flash these images, at least you would need that your device has treble support to start with and since your device doesn´t have it as you are saying that actually is running Lollipop and treble support was implemented since Oreo.

You can take a read on this Forum https://xdaforums.com/f/oppo-f1.5043/ and see if your specific model has some development, it must be specifically for the f1s variant at least there is a compatible variant like it could be the case with the f1f BUT don´t forget to ask in the thread to be sure.

In case there is some ROM that has implemented (unofficial) treble support then you´re lucky.

I have a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos processor) that I want to install LineageOS and MicroG on to degoogle my life.

I downloaded the official ROM from the MicroG website and followed the LOS installation instructions (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/crownlte/install), but got stuck when installing LOS from recovery because the signature verification failed and I haven't installed TWRP or anything yet to bypass that.

I'm also not 100% sure that I'm successfully booting into LOS recovery mode and not Android recovery mode. Do they look similar?

At the moment I'm a bit lost because of how many options there seem to be. Could someone please help me build a list of steps to follow? My device is unrooted, so is TWRP necessary to bypass the signature verification step?

I'm thinking:

1) Follow this guide to install TWRP via Odin, since my device isn't rooted (https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-official-3-3-1-x-twrp-for-galaxy-note9-exynos.4097441/)

2) Disable signature verification in TWRP settings

3) Try and follow the official LOS installation guide again and hopefully succeed?

Should it be that easy once TWRP is installed? I've been looking at alternatives such as:

- Manually updating the ROM files which I don't think I would successfully be able to do (https://xdaforums.com/t/solved-line...oadmetadatasignaturemismatch-pixel-3.4217163/)

- Install the official LOS rom and then do the MicroG migration steps

- Install the official LOS rom and then install Nanodroid (https://xdaforums.com/t/module-syst...7-microg-pseudo-debloat-f-droid-apps.3584928/)

I'm sorry to be so noob and would really appreciate any guidance that anyone can give me!

Not true.

I'm rooted with a patched boot.img from Magisk, and my phones are still encrypted. That's with the Pixel 5. And also the Pixel 2XL, and also the HTC 10.

EDIT: Root doesn't disable encryption, but some ROMs might. Viper10 gave instructions to disable encryption (it wasn't really needed), so maybe newer ROMs have a script in the install to disable it? idk. But I DO KNOW that root does not disable encryption. It will leave a way for somebody that gets your phone to bypass it (they would have to have knowledge for that, which 99.999%+ people don't), but so will

Hi, I have a problem with media storage.

What happens is that I deleted the data from the 'media storage' app to see if it could read my photos on the SD card since it only read the ones that were on my device, however, I´m still with the same problem, SD card is read but the images in it could not, and I don't know what to do.

I mean, I can access to all images with File explorer, but not directly with apps like google photos, also these images don't show on Facebook or WhatsApp image explorer
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Stock recovery doesn´t allow backups and also you´ll see a lot of information about your device like build number, counter, knox status and more in form of small (usually) orange letters so you will see some differences between both recoveries.

Some user is claiming that Micro-G is not actually supported by LOS https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-nightlies-lineageos-17-1.4083329/post-82352433

I also read that LOS recovery retired official support to the GN9 so the shortest and easiest path would be:

1 - Flash TWRP through Odin, don´t forget to untick the Auto Reboot in options in the second tab to the left from the tool and inmediately after to flash it reboot manually to TWRP (using the proper method) prior to boot to system otherwise stock recovery will overwrite it.

2 - I´m not sure about signature verification, it could be an issue with just LOS recovery or maybe you got it trying to install Micro-G, I don´t know but if you flash TWRP and then LOS ROM I don´t think you have this error anymore.

3 - Follow next the steps from the LOS ROM thread here in XDA and not through the Official LOS site since you would not using the LOS recovery as explained in that site and you could get it more difficult to mix both threads.

I have just installed The Ultimatum ROM (with Metro UI & swapall kernal options) on my Galaxy ace. I guess as I live in France my language setting was automatically set to French. After setting it to my proffered English, I noticed that in the app draw the language for certain apps remained in French!!! I had the same issue with this room's previous incarnation "WP-Remix" however, after an update to the Launcher8 app through play store, the problem was solved. :highfive:

What's weird is this: in this rom the Launcher8 app is not recognized by Google Play as being the Launcher8 app, and therefore, will NOT update. Is it a heavily modded version of launcher8? or is there a settings problem somewhere perhaps? Would repairing permissions, or something like that help play find the app, if so, by what method? Recovery or Titanium? This ROM seems to have some quirks unique to it alone, and I would not want to fcuk somthin' up!

Hi, please help.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Young2 (SM-G130HN) (not rooted). I deleted some files from the phone over USB connection (not system files, only iGO maps ). Then rebooted to see if there is enough free space and since then, the phone won't boot. Only showing the first, static SAMSUNG logo (i.e. no animation). When I plug in the charger, the battery will charge with 0.44 amps but becomes hot. Sometimes it will show the first battery logo (with the circle) but no animation.

I can't enter download mode, even with a jig (tried on a Galaxy S3 and it works). Can't enter recovery mode either. USB debugging mode has not been turned on.

What can I do?

Why not just change the launcher to something similar to this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgyun.wp8.theme.p6563&hl=en&gl=US you can try firstly setting it up as default launcher and then if it goes well you may uninstall it, it would be easier than try to change some parameters on it.

'Chimera tool' works on this LG-K500...well at least to some degree. There is an option to find "codes". It if course tells me it can't find any or the device isn't unlockable through recovery. What interested me was how it did it. I had to boot to download mode, it would detect the device, and perform the search. While it did so, instead of listing the platform (mt6765) and battery level, chimera replaced it with "SUUSER". So does anyone know what this tool uses to even run commands in LAF (download mode)? And what does SUUSER mean? It can't mean the obvious thing we would assume it means? If this tool can run successful commands while in download mode, then why can't I using lglaf Tool?

Question - How do i know what the stock firmware for my phone is

Phone - Samsung A105g

Issue - Stuck on Samsung Logo

This phone is a throw away from work as its google locked, so i am not too worried about it, however i thought it would be cool to muck around with to learn about custom roms like lineage or to use as a streaming music player etc.

Within a few minutes of stuffing around I managed to lock it up so that it doesn't get further than the Samsung Logo, i tried the various reboots/clear cache/factory reset, but all to no avail.

So i assume I will need to flash it with its stock firmware, but i can't figure out which one it is, there appear to be at least 4 different ones for my country New Zealand, and I have no idea which i can use

Make sure your device is rooted! Google it first. And I reccomend don't install a custom rom.:silly: they have more functions alright but less stable and it deletes all data on flashing process. Also make sure you are putting the rom in the correct section on odin, look where you must put it. pda or modem. Also you might get that error because the download is damaged. Try not to pause it and redownload. Make sure there is no errors or issues:cowboy:
