I had the same issue, I don't remember exactly how I solved it, there is something inside the Wi-Fi options that you have to change. I have actually another Samsung with custom ROM, right there is the solution. Anyway the A21s doesn't have a good/strong/persistent connection, actually some update probably improve it.

Can someone help here, app crashing after updating to a12 idk why here is a crash log of the app attached, tia
[General Questions and Answers] Djerry_Doo:
Thanks for your insight.

I flashed stock and ran it for a moment. It didn't seem there was anything happening with downloading 'system updates'. So I flashed twrp and my ROM (crDroid 7.7) with opengapps and there it is, again. I don't know why it's happening.

I found out it doesn't start until I start play store (on NikGapps):

1) I don't even have to log into play store, just starting it is enough

2) none of my old apps probably cause this as there are none on fresh rom

3) A rom without gapps wasn't downloading anything

So it has to be something with Gapps but since I flashed the whole phone with Odin, I thought there was nothing left on it that could cause this.

My old phone doesn't have this problem it seems, so I assume there should be nothing wrong with my account either.

Is there something else I can do?

Need help ASAP

i try to root my Xiaomi mi a3 and flash it with twrp recovery after a while it boot looping fastboot

i try vol+ power button, click power button to turn off, it just auto turn back into fastboot

- really need help rn cause im using my phone tomorrow, would be nice if some one could dm my on discord: fos#1304

at first i try to flash twrp recovery i type: fastboot flash recovery filename.img

it result error telling me the phone is locked, even have oem unlock option

then i mess around try to unlock the phone with few command like fastboot flashing unlock_critical

i manage to get the thing unlock but then still can't flash into recovery cause recovery no such partition

then i try to this fastboot flash boot_a filename.img

now i'm stuck at fastboot no mater what

pls help
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Mi A3 doesn't have a recovery partition, you should boot to TWRP with fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img (I recommend Orange Fox) and after that you should flash it, this will fix it in a portion of the boot image, it was a TWRP installer if i don't remember bad to fix it, and you shouldn't have to flashing it again for every reboot.

Flashing unlock_critical is not needed nor in this device or any other actually, at least from those I know, you shouldn't need to touch bootloader to any time.

The thing with this device is that you have to flash the ROM, then change the slot, and then you should flash Gapps, Magisk and so and have a PC to any time, it's a little fastidious.

Or you didn't do these steps or device is trying to boot to the wrong slot, see which slot is active using fastboot getvar current-slot then change to the other slot and see if it boots fastboot --set-active=a change conveniently for a or b.

[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Web search? Asking someone else who has a working version to investigate.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, don't know why you flashed an older ROM version, if your device is unlocked you still can flash a newer one. You just had to ask for some guidance and need of more patience to fix the issue. It's not hard to do so unless you messed with some more critical "don't do that"

[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
There were two parts to my suggestion, web search was only the first.

As for the web search, I did a very quick and simple web search and found a plethora of things that could be followed up. They would require reading & research on your part. The little I did read implied it was an update to the ad serving engine. A quick avenue would be to contact the app developer. But reading the search results would possibly be your only avenue if they are gone as no-one else appears to have responded to your error.

In Odin, you should choose the CSC different from the CSC_home to completely wipe your device, then when you go to a custom ROM try changing the Gapps version i.e. Flame Gapps or other. Also check out your PC for some virus.

I'm very new to Custom roms and flashing, and at the moment i'm in a huge mess.

The tutorial I followed was: https:// xdaforums.com/t/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-j7-sm-j700h-exynos-3g-model-twrp.3235507/

The model of my device is Samsung J7 - SM J700H (2015) Exynos version.

I was following this guide, and did everything accordingly.

When I got to the end (Reboot part) I was waiting for minutes, but nothing happened.

Panicked, I tried a lot of stuff, and somehow, got to "wipe" option of TWRP and Wiped my entire system including the OS.

I googled around and found a tutorial Where you download lineageos to the phone.

Found the version of lineageos that runs on this phone (j7elte)

Followed https: //wiki.lineageos.org/devices/j7elte/install - the official wiki's tutorial, but somehow got stuck in the middle of all of it (i tried to use heimdall as said in the tutorial, but couldn't get past the Powershell part)

THEN, I tried installing the lineageos rom directly (by transferring it to my internal storage, and thru the "install" in twrp)

but got a error-executing-updater-binary-in-zip error.

Thanks for reading this till the end, and if you have anyway to fix this, please do help 🙏

Edit: I also was wondering, the lineageos file doesn't have any .tar or .tar md files, could this be a reason for failure? thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Djerry_Doo:
Hi! Thank you for you answer (and thank you generally for keeping in touch with me)! I now know more about the issue. The phone actually is not downloading data, it's general traffic and it's going back and forth between Google services and me. To be precise, it seems to be obtaining some sort of OTA updates, which is, however, disabled on my phone (SystemUpdateService). It goes quite fast. I am at over 1 GB over night. Can I do something about that? The whole problem seems to be this, really.

Hello, sorry for the n00b question. I updated from crDroid 7.7 to 7.11 but I had to clean flash. Can I restore Data partition from backup of 7.7 into 7.11?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
You can try, there is a chance this move will result in a problem, like a non working phone, but it should be easily fixed when clean flashing the ROM again.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Strange it seems that doesn't happen while in stock ROM, you should try with a reduced Google apps, I always use the pico version, and if I need some apps more, then I install them manually.

Try retiring the non-essential permissions, it should there is also some app in Play Store that can restrict the data usage.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
This guide is outdated, You should follow this instead where you can also find the LineageOS ROM for your device https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-j7elte-microg-and-xposed-for-lineageos-17-1.4276533/

Start the process from the given link, you already have TWRP installed.

Since years, I don't use Heimdal, you can do the same using Odin but no-sense at this point, so the method is to install LineageOS recovery using Heimdal and you don't need it, you already have TWRP recovery.

First off I assume that you double-check that your model is effectively the SM-J700H and the Lineage ROM is also suitable for this model. You must receive an error number through TWRP, check exactly what is this error, you can take a screenshot through TWRP the same way as if your device is on, using (usually) PWR+volume down, then you can upload it here.

Custom ROMs are compressed in zip format, stock Samsung ROMs are compressed in tar format.

So, first of all, spamming is not recommended on xda. There are several posts already where you don't even link the original thread, you just spam. Had to take my time to track down your original post, most people wouldn't do such thing. It's a simple copy and paste, would have made wonders than spamming.

Second, are your devices rooted or with their bootloaders unlocked? If not, that means those hackers simply have guessed your passwords. My advice would be to use something like BitWarden and change your passwords. Use a complicated password on your devices. Also Google can help you disconnect your account from every device.
[General Questions and Answers] Djerry_Doo:
Hello!

The issue has been solved for my by (finally) succesfully flashing the newest update of crDroid, however, I am not sure, where it was. I have two candidates:

1) I originally got the custom recovery through the use of Magisk and TWRP flash app (you flash AP with Magisk patched into it, give TWRP flash app root and have it flash the recovery). Maybe something in the process could make something go wrong? Not sure. Now I got TWRP by flashing it through Odin.

2) I had to flash newer Kernel to make the ROM work, maybe it had something to do with that?

Other than that, I don't know. I always flash the most basic pack of Gapps, my policy is identical to yours.

For now, I decided to turn off the automatical updates for crDroid, as they also use OTA to get newest updates. Maybe that might help? Let's see.

Oh, by the way, I now realize I briefly installed OctaviOS (A12) on the phone, which also required the newer Kernel, and the issue was not there either! But maybe that's just a coincidence.

PrimeOS is not installed alongside Windows, but it creates a new partition, Windows remains there unless you didn't see the option to choose from a different drive.
[General Questions and Answers] Mr Miaggi:
I don't think I did. Is there a way for me to try and see if it's still there or how can I access it?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
To install it, which method do you choose from? The installer or the ISO? I guess it was the installer. PrimeOS doesn't do a good job for being installed, the drive by default is where Windows is allocated but if you scroll in the Drive option you'll see a new drive to be created. What you are getting when you boot (or try to)? Can you see the GRUB with Windows listed and can you boot to PrimeOS?
[General Questions and Answers] Mr Miaggi:
This is what I keep getting
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It seems that you installed (or try to) PrimeOS in the same directory where Windows is installed, I would recommend the ISO (although I don't like/need PrimeOS), this would be less harmful, the OS had a failed installation but luckily all of your files are still there, only that you haven't actually access to Windows.

It might be required a Windows media installation to fix it, if you have other PC at hand you can boot from a USB drive, it'll be the cheapest, although There are other, more complex solutions.

Hello,

On a Redmi note 10 pro, I am on Miui 12.5.4 rooted with Magisk, no TWRP, and OTA update 12.5.6 is available.

Can I install the update without losing root and without losing my data, and how ?

Note 10 pro appears to not have the a/b partition scheme.

Thank you very much.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Without a TWRP that can manage the update, you could brick your device, the update could be stuck on the OTA blocks based process.

Usually data is not lost through an OTA update.

You should restore your boot image (you can use restore option through Magisk, this will not completely be removed) then safely can apply the update, and after that patch again the boot (the new one from the OTA) and root it again.
[General Questions and Answers] Vilrockerdefer:
Thanks, will I keep my apps and data if I do that ?

Btw, what about the procedure described here ? Does it apply to rooted phones ?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
This is the normal/known method, not specifically for rooted devices, local updates can be applied through settings/update or through stock recovery (you said you don't have a custom recovery available) just remember to flash again the boot partition through fastboot or using the "restore image", if available through Magisk to safely can apply the update. The issue with installing updates on a rooted device is the OTA updates checks the integrity of the files and can brick your device, TWRP retains temporarily the rooted boot partition, apply the update and then re-root it, but you haven't as you mentioned.

And OTA update doesn't delete your data, usually. To be sure you should do a copy (don't open the file you will apply, or you should corrupt it) from the OTA update (you also can download it from the Miui site) and see what's in the META-INF scripts, you shouldn't see something like "erase user data" in the updater script.
[General Questions and Answers] Vilrockerdefer:
So if I understand correctly, I do need to first "uninstall" Magisk before applying the OTA update, despite this previously mentioned procedure doesn’t mention it ?

What worried me was not the OTA update erasing my data but the fact that having to root again might erase it.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
As I said you previously the method that you linked is not exactly that, this is a feature available on all Xiaomi devices (and more OEMs), the thread doesn't cover some insights as you can also see what confused the members are. OTA blocks based was introduced many years ago to check the integrity of the partitions, some OTA updates might not include it but how you could know, safest is to restore the boot partition, not needed to uninstall the Magisk though.

Well, in regard to the Magisk root process, rooting device doesn't erase data.
[General Questions and Answers] galih_ken:
I can't paste on most of the input bars on the internet since one week ago. I can copy any text just fine but when I try to paste to any search bar or anything that can be put letters into, when holding down tap, which usually there should be paste, only autofill popout. It started out fine for days after I root and flashed Xiaomi.eu stable miui 12.5.3 ROM and suddenly I have this problem. It really getting on my nerves and stressing me out.

I have many randomly generated password for anything. Without paste working I have to type manually each time. This is making me crazy.

I can copy paste normally on the "browser" app from Microsoft. I can't on Chrome or Firefox.

Factory reset wipe on twrp doesn't fix it. HELP PLEASE!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Probably you already did it, but just in case. Did you try to do it at two times? Tapping the first in normal way (it could show up the keyboard) and the second time holding down on the search bar to be displayed the "search-paste-select all" menu.

If Autofill is displayed, then you are trying to copy an email address, this could be normal till you accept it or discard it.
[General Questions and Answers] Vilrockerdefer:
Ok so for those interested, here’s how I did it :

- in Magisk I chose uninstall - restore image

- did the ota the normal way before any reboot

then had to reroot :

- downloaded the fastboot firmware here

- extracted boot.img from archive and transfered it to phone

- in magisk click install then select boot.img

- magisk writes a new file magisk_patched_[random_strings].img, copied it to pc

- booted the phone in fastboot mode

- used fastboot.exe with command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_[random_strings].img

Done. No data or settings lost.

[General Questions and Answers] Cheizasaur:
tl;dr: I want to manually identify which platform my droid has so I can choose the correct Open Gapps package via Web (I don't want the app to do it for me because I would like to learn on my own). I want to choose Micro Package or Stock Package but neither is available for KitKat (4.4.4)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I would like to start off by stating that I read through the guide for this thread. I could not find my problem in the forum search. I have also done a Google search and watched a few Youtube Videos and could not find the specific answer to my question. Out of admiration that users on here do not coddle their members I tried on my own first :)

GOAL: I would like to use TWRP to make my DROID ULTRA usable with modern apps (Netflix, Duolingo, Offerup, Cashapp, Mario Kart, etc.) by flashing a current OS (Lineage) Via Open Gapps ROM.

PROBLEM #1: I can't find which platform to choose for my Droid Ultra on the Open Gapps site.

I would like to use TWRP, so as far as I understand I cannot use the Open Gapps app to auto detect the CPU Architecture (AKA Platform type). I have version 4.4.4 so I was able to narrow it down to ARM and x86 by process of elimination. Even if I can use the app instead of downloading the zip folder to my internal storage (Via TWRP), I don't want to go that route.

I don't want Open Gapps to Auto detect it because I am also going to school to become an IT Manager and would like to learn on my own how to find/identify the smartphone's platform manually. I would like to have that skill. I am assuming it is somewhere under "About Phone" but I'm not having any luck.

PROBLEM #2: I would like to choose the Micro Package for my phone but I do not see a download available for Android KitKat (4.4.4). I also considered the STOCK option but it didn't seem wise because of the storage space (I'm going to miss G-board).

2A. Is that package of lineage for KitKat an option anywhere else?

2B. Once Lineage is installed (Which is a STOCKROM?) will the android version change? If that version changes is there any way that I can use the new OS version as a workaround to downloading a newer Open Gapps?

Thanks again!
