How do you plan to edit files in the system partition without root? A locked bootloader may not allow the modification to work.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

It shouldn't cause data loss. However, the operating system installed on the HDD may or may not work in another system, especially if the chipset architectures of the two systems are different.

Why do you want the ROM from Mi A2 if there is a lot of ROMs available for your device? https://xdaforums.com/mi-pad-4/development

I had the little brother of Mi A2 (Lite version) and didn't have nothing special, Android One by Xiaomi is not good compared with almost any AOSP based ROM, the first day I had it I unlocked it and get rid of it.

Your device is the triplet of Mi A2 and Mi 6X, if you still want to follow with that then probably this method can apply for your device too, maybe with a little of modifications on the kernel https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/xiaomi-6x-wayne/pie-android-one-mi6x-wayne-t4008875 I used part of this guide to do the inverted process flashing a RN6P onto a Mi A2 Lite its twin. The advantage to trying to use or maybe try to port a ROM from Mi 6X is that this device comes with the same scheme partition that yours and Mi A2 comes with A/B that needs more modifications to adapt it.

Thanks for your help, I just wanted to port Android One as a little project, I know other roms are better. I have also successfully ported Mi 6X Pixel Experience.

That's great, thanks. Planning to convert the internal hdd into an external one. And the hdd is being replaced by an ssd. Just wondered if I needed to backup the whole hdd before this whole ordeal proceeds.

Do specify what phone you ve got mate and what version is it. Some do come with unlocked bootloader by default while some don't. In some cases, unlocking the bootloader might have tripped knox already. We need more info. Also, you could install some apps to check knox counter. If I remember correctly, 0 means you are good, 1 means knox is tripped already.

Yes, I do this also, I have a SATA3 to USB3 adapter cable that I use to connect HDD's/SDD's as external hard drives. I think I paid like $5 US for the adapter cable. Make sure it is a SATA3 to USB3 adapter, not SATA3 to USB2, these would read/write slower than USB3.

Thanks. I downloaded the file. Its a DumpLS665 RlEditor file. Is that the same as a Tot or Kdz file?

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

This seems to be a good tutorial for unbricking and I could try it.

But, the part where you're supposed to input the AP Chipset in willcracker's BoardDiag, it doesn't have any options for the LS665 chipset which should be MSM8916. I don't think I'll make any progress there without that option. Any help?

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It's a file in RAR format, inside you probably will find a TOT file with the corresponding DLL for your device.

In the post also said to try to fool the tool with accepting any other similar compatible chipset to can go to the next setup/step.

And what about all the options to boot to, are you sure that you tried all the ways? Flashmode, fastboot mode, Factory mode (this without a PC).?
[General Questions and Answers] mohashman:
Unfortunately no, none of the modes you mentioned are working coz the phone is hard bricked. Doesn't go into Download mode either.

[General Questions and Answers] Johnny Lighting:
Hi folks.

Can`t start new thread so I ask here.

I’ve been reading Google for about 2 weeks now (including xda), but I haven’t seen an exact description of my case anywhere. I hope for your help.

Introductory:

Blackview a20 phone, purchased in August 2019, was constantly activated updating the Android via wi-fi.

In April 2020, the camera stopped working, in connection with which an attempt was made to reflash, and then completely install Android 10

I found this and this article and followed the instructions.

After an unsuccessful attempt to download an AOSP 10 image (target reported max download size of ... bytes error), the phone in fastboot mode was left overnight without recharging and completely sat down.

What is the result:

The phone stopped charging (when the charger is connected, an icon appears on the screen with a discharged battery and the screen goes blank) and does not turn on by pressing the power key

The combination of power + volume up succeeds (not always on the first try) to enter select boot mode

The volume up button works, but when you select any of the three items and press volume down, the screen turns off

The phone now does not connect to the computer (it is detected that the usb connection signal sounds and disconnects after a second)

What can be done now? Is there a chance for a unbricking?
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
the phone might be bricked. instead of trying to fix it, I would suggest buying an Samsung s6. found some on eBay for around 65$. it s a very known phone, therefore you will have no problem finding lots and lots of custom ROMs and kernels for it. and it also have rugged cases, in case you wonder. a phone with 1 gb of RAM is a bad choice nowadays. I suggest at least 3 gb of ram.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don't think that a device like this shipped with Android Go and no 4G compatibility has any real capability to support Android 10 features as Pixel devices, this dream is enough, something like this it's a sort of chimera.

This is the way-to-go to at least try to recover your device and return again to the reality https://www.gizrom.com/blackview-a20-stock-firmware/ Here you will find all the files needed to do so.
[General Questions and Answers] Johnny Lighting:
My blackview is a phone i used at work and which was not a pity to break or lose. I used nothing but camera, messenger and 2-3 other apps, 1gb was quite enough for these tasks. Thanks.

Well, thanks a lot, i`ll try this guide.

Get a Pixel.

3yrs of monthly updates. Super easy to root. And if you need to get a repair during your warranty period while you are rooted, they don't care that you are rooted like mostly every other OEM is.

The Pixel 4a is coming out soon. A 5.8" screen, 3,080 mAh battery, and rumored to be only $349USD.

[General Questions and Answers] helpmenowyes:
which pixel. so i am 100% new to rooting so i dont even understand. if were to get pixel 3a or 3a xl would i be able to root it on the latest version? i dont know how even so i dont want an outdated root tutorial or do i sound retarded by saying outdated root tutorial you get me. i just need someone to explain to me.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
You replied before I edited my comment. I would wait for the 4a myself, but if you can get a good deal on a 3aXL I would go for that, athough you'll get an extra year of updates with the 4a.

If you do get a Pixel there are many easy to follow tutorials to root them. Just Google "pixel **model/version here** xda", click on the link to that devices forums, scroll down and you will find a guides section.

Like I said, Pixels are super easy to root. fastboot flashing unlock in fastboot, patch the boot.img with the Magisk Manager app, flash the patched boot.img in fastboot. That's it, you're rooted. The guides section will explain it in more detail.

[General Questions and Answers] Kylethedarkn:
This isn't about phones but people here are pretty smart so Im going to ask anyway.

I have two routers. Both are netgear, one is a R7000 and the other is WNDR3400.

I have freshtomato firmware installed on both. On the R7000 I have it using the 5ghz band to connect to an xfinitywifi hotspot in client bridge mode.

I have run a physical cable from the r7000 to the 3400. The 3400 is set up to grab an ip from the r7000 and then broadcast my own 5ghz access point.

My problem is this. The 3400 keeps resetting to default settings every once in a while. I've been dealing with it by making and restoring backups, but its really annoying to do that all the time.

Does anyone here have any idea why the 3400 keeps reverting back? Or if there's someway for it to automatically load the configuration file after it resets to defaults?

Thanks in advance for any answers!

That guide has a VERY detailed explanation on how to root the Pixel 3a XL. Be aware though of what [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION] said above. DO NOT get a Verizon version of any device. You won't be able to unlock the bootloader, and you need to do that first before you can root it.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
i'm not familiar with this app and never used but I think that you probably should try the next:

- Try to use the option to restore the files locally, download from GDrive, place them in the folder where the app places backups locally, usually >Android>data>folder_of_the_app (avoid external memory)

- Read on users feedbacks if the app actually has some issue with a specific android version and try to downgrade your device as you're rooted will be easy.

- Backup files as messages, calls can be viewed on browsers on pc if you want backup them in the meantime in other format.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you backed up your apps, data, contacts and settings to Google your google account in your device settings, you can restore everything that was backed up once you sign in to your Google account on the device.

If it wasn't backed up to Google account or some other method of backing up your data before updating the device, there is no way to restore the lost data.

galaxy note 4 stock firmware odin error

Hi all,

Sorry if i'm posting a reply rather than starting a thread, as I saw no start thread button and i'm desperate.

I accidentally deleted an entire 10GB folder of images from my non backed up gallery on my Galaxy note 4 and attempted to restore it using Dr fone before it put it into a boot loop so i downloaded a cf-autoroot bat fie from that chainfire site and ran it after putting the phone into download mode but the odin failed and now all it says it firmware upgrade encountered an error please select recovery mode.

I don't want to lose any data and there are so many tutorials online showing different processes using odin and loading a file into the AP area and restoring the stock firmware, but i am not sure of the version of odin i need to be using or the country specific firmware for the sm-n910F and have done so much reading about it Ive just confused myself. apparently odin runs better on its own rather than in a one click bat file and stuff like that.

I just was after a clear hopefully safeish way of first recovering the use and data on my pone, and then after ive copied that safely over somewhere a method to attempt to recover the 10gb of data I erased in the first place?

not sure about a surefire way of doing it basically, ie, which odin, samsung usb drivers and firmware would i need, I read than new ones arent always best.

Thanks in advance and I eagerly await ANY directions, im willing to try anything as long as i don't lose my data or at leat minimise is. again apologies i did search for note 4 but all i saw was xaiomi note 4.

Thanks again!

About Flip picture. I had stock camera app on samsung, while editing you could add notes on the flip side. That's why i thought should be an app with option 2 pictures.
