SuperSU is over. If you have an old device and can find an archived version of SuperSU, you should be fine. Root NEVER has needed a custom kernel.

Hi, it's an Xperia z5 6653
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
So I got LGUP to flash.... something to my LG-K500. The security patches, which had been from September 2020, are now July 2020. I also have different boot logo/animation. Beyond that, nothing else seems to have changed, at least from a visual perspective.

I found the whole ramdisk in laf_xxxxx.img_xxxxx. I have to change the filename to recovery.img to unpack it, because there are no bin files in the kdz package. but even then, I can edit it to my heart's content but with no way to repack the images back into a kdz, and no other alternatives to flash images, I'm stuck yet again. And still not having a proper scatter file (mt6765), I can't even use SP flash tool. Mtk Droid tools is equally as useless as well. 🤷‍♂️

I am now desperate for some advice or at least assistance of some sort.

Ok sEE I'm not using TWRP. In the past I've flashed a ROM on my Samsung S5 using TWRP, so I'm familiar with using this method. But I thought you could Flash This ProtonAOSP on The Google Pixel 5 without using TWRP? I'm just completely lost on how do this method. do you know how to do it step by step without TWRP? Also, would it be possible to sideload it through adb in command prompt without TWRP being installed on my GP5? I'm dying to install this ROM and for days I can't find a walkthrough or get anyone to give me a step by step, and it's really bumming me out. But thank you for replying initially!

How's it going, I have a Hipad X also?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Ok, I have took some time to try to find the thread where you picked up the ROM, if this is the place https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-pixel-5-official-protonaosp-11-3-1.4188129/ then rightly now there is no TWRP available for your device and the ROM was prepared as similar as the stock one and has to be flashed in the same way that stock images are flashed.

Anyway I guess you first need to unlock the bootloader, read carefully the thread and confirm this step, then just download the right ROM for your model, I guess is Redfin, with GApps if you think to use Google apps on it, then follow any of the guides available out there regarding the method that is very simple though, it could be similar to this one https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-flashing-stock-factory-img.3931197/ following the recommendation of wipe data before to booting the ROM for first time.
[General Questions and Answers] Jimmy Stat:
Ok do you see, I'm not using TWRP, and my bootloader is unlocked bc it's successfully rooted and recognized by my pc. On a side note tho I am curious as to why when I do adb devices my serial number doesn't come up but when I do fastboot devices it does. Do I have to do adb commands in my adb directory? Or I still have to do adb commands in platform-tools just like my fastboot commands? Bc my fastboot commands are done in platform-tools and always work. I'm just curious on that.

Anyway, I digress, in the past I've flashed a ROM on my Samsung S5 using TWRP, so I'm familiar with using this method. But I thought you could Flash This ProtonAOSP on The Google Pixel 5 without using TWRP?

I'm just completely lost on how do this method. do you know how to do it step by step without TWRP?

i appreciate you taking the time out to do this for me! seriously, this was very cool of you! So you see i know my bootloader is unlocked bc i can confirm it using the fastboot OEM command, and bc I've successfully rooted and OEM is greyed out in my developer options still. But, now I see what i believe I've been doing wrong... Well I think. I've been unzipping it to platform tools after I DL the file and then using the flash-all command like I did the stock image when I soft bricked my device trying to root a while back. All I need to do is double click the batch file and remove the -w..... Duh lol I'm as dummy but thanks again bud,I'll let you know how it works out for me
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
In Windows both adb and fastboot work in the same directory, adb doesn´t run while device is in fastboot mode but device have to be power on or under adb sideload option through recovery to be recogniced using adb commands.

Be sure that is grayed out but enabled as permanently unlocked.

Well, the method is pretty simple; unzip (just one time) the zip file inside the adb-fastboot directory (placed conveniently on main drive) and then double click on flash-all.bat and you´re done, I assume that your device will reboot (one more time) to bootloader cause a modded bootloader will be flashed firstly. Take it the time and let us know how it did go.

Hi.

I have two phones. I want to dial a number with my first phone and make that call with my second phone (use second simcard and network for my call that maked from first phone)

Is there any way or any app to handle this?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Instead of getting a dual sim and be done with it, you want to get into a mess like this? Doubt it can be done, even if let's say you could do it, will be a very buggy experience. Get a dual sim smartphone.

That or just a make a copy of your contacts from one phone to another. That's another easy way. What are you are suggesting would be counter productive.
[General Questions and Answers] ssacemilan:
I have micro sd cards on both phones as slot2 ,sorry😔

If you know any way please tell me.tnks man
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
And that's a problem how? Get a dualsim smartphone and a bigger micro sd card. Or a smartphone with more storage. The s10+ ceramic version has 1 terabyte of storage

Or something like xiaomi Poco m3
[General Questions and Answers] ssacemilan:
Im an internet taxi driver and my internet taxi app and navigation apps is installed on another phone (because screen must be always on and that phone has replacable battery and display is lcd not amoled and make shadow from that app)when i get a passenger i want to call him with my first phone (because of data and free call plan and i doesn't want buy another call plan for that phone ) so i must enter that phone number manually in this phone and dial it.its hard on driving
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
So let me get this straight. Your first phone is the one you use to talk with the client. The 1st doesn't have the internet taxi app. The 1st has free data and call plan. The second phone is for navigation only? Do you need the internet taxi app installed on the 2nd?

So the client phone number is displayed within the app. Why not install the taxi app on both smartphones?
[General Questions and Answers] ssacemilan:
Because it must login only in one device at the same time and my first phone is amoled and non replacable battery (galaxy s9+) and may have shadows on screen and battery failure (2~3 times charging whole of the day when apps are running and im at work).for using that apps on work time (its screen must be always on during work)
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
So the one with free calls is 1st phone, the one with navigation is 2nd phone.

So 2nd must also have the internet taxi. Can you call the client from within the app? Or you would need to copy the phone number, insert it in the dialer of the 2nd phone and call?

What you could try is simple. Get a portable router. In that use the sim for the internet from the 2nd smartphone. The 1st smartphone's sim, insert it into the 2nd phone, the one with navigation and the taxi app. The router keeps the wifi going, so you have navigation, you make/take the calls with the second phone. You could use a Bluetooth headset to make it more driving friendly. When you take the calls with Bluetooth, it should only show a notification.
[General Questions and Answers] ssacemilan:
When i press call to the passenger in app, The app automatically opens dialer and inserts the number and start calling
[General Questions and Answers] ssacemilan:
Isnt there any app or any way to handle this and make call with another phone instead of buying a router? (With Bluetooth or wireless connection between phones)
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
You could swap the sims around. The internet sim is used in the Samsung smartphone. You set only the hotspot. That makes it literally a router. And the calling sim use it in the navigation smartphone. You could make calls with that now while using navigation as well. The navigation is connected to the wifi provided by the Samsung hotspot.
[General Questions and Answers] ssacemilan:
I cant use call simcard on work phone because its familiar and they called me whenever they needs.2nd phone i used for my work is turned off when im not in work and im in rest.the only way is to find an app or any way to make calls from 2nd phone on my first phone
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Sorry; I didn´t follow the whole dialog, if the issue with the second phone is essentially the battery you would have some workaround with; your second device doesn´t support OTG charge to get supply from the first? or simply connected all the time to the USB car charger? As per amoled that you´re not having in the second phone with the battery issue solved you can use any/some (wisely chosen) AOD app from Play Store, I used it in various devices without amoled display, the difference won´t be how much critic in a period of 8, 9 work hours?. Sorry again if I´m out of the point here.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Your family could call you on whatsapp or something similar. For that you would only need an internet connection. You don't need the actual sim.

If that wouldn't be a solution for you, you could set a call forwarding service on your work phone. Even without call feature on the work sim inside the Samsung device, it still receives forwarded calls free of charge. That would only mean that both phones must be on for the calls forwarding service to work.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Nope, the issue wasn't with any battery. The user is a taxi driver. He uses a samsung for calls only. His job requires to have an app permanently opened for online taxi services and navigation. For that he uses a second phone with a data only sim. His problem was that the taxi app doesn't allow to use it on two phones simultaneously. The client number only shows in the taxi app. So far he had to input the phone number by hand into his Samsung phone. He wanted a way to get the phone number from within the taxi app and call it using the Samsung. Do you have another suggestion? Mines are right above.
[General Questions and Answers] Nilanjan Mal:
1) How to know whether a custom rom requires a miui vendor or oss vendor coz most of the time its written only flash vendor..

2) How to enable ota updates in orangefox and how would that work

3) do we need to format data everytime before installing a new rom or just wiping system,data,dalvik,vendor will do?

4) Do i need to be always sure to flash vendor once i wipe it?

5) if i wipe internal will my orangefox recovery get erased?

Thanku to whoever is kind enough to answer all of these <3
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
1. Read in that custom rom thread. It should tell you what vendor you need.

2. check here

Surviving MIUI OTA Update with Orange Fox Recovery on Redmi 5 Plus | MIUI Blog

This guide is the solution to avoid MIUI OTA update not working after flashing TWRP. Flashing Orange Fox and following the mentioned steps below allow you to

miui.blog

3. Format everything, make a clean wipe, because that ensures you don't get into problems.

4. Wipe means delete. Flash means install. If you don't install vendor, your phone doesn't work as intended.

5. Internal is the internal storage. Is a totally different partition than recovery. No, your recovery won't be erased.
[General Questions and Answers] Nilanjan Mal:
About no. 3 , i was asking about formatting data which requires to type yes ..do i need to do this step everytime i flash a new rom?? or only the first time and from next time just wipe dalvik,cache,system,data,vendor will do

and u posted a link which says about miui ota updates.. i am asking about custom rom ota updates..is it possible via orangefox or do i need to dirty flash everytime a new update comes out?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
The procedure might be the same or even easier. Custom roms might not override recovery by default.

About nr 3, my suggestion would be to wipe everything you need. I always wipe everything without vendor. Unless the rom thread requires it, the stock vendor will do just fine.

@ ssacemilan

I don´t know why he simply doesn´t swap devices, using the best for job and for the other find some workaround, I say that so I read something like amoled and shadow that can damage a device with amoled always on that it´s not totally true.

Although he can send the call from sim 1 to sim 2, the device will use the data plan from the sim that is inserted in the device that is making the call, in this case the sim that is in the phone 2 and not from the sim that is in the phone 1 although it has a data and calls free, so no way.... he could find an app that share the call received in the phone 1 atleast in form of text and then share it to the phone 2 and call from there but again the use of the data plan relies on the sim and not on the phone.

Probably he can share a data plan with some app? I´m not sure with this, it would be similar to what you suggested, essentially a hotspot mobile sharing.

The better would be install a second WhatsApp in the phone 1, set it up with the sim that is in the phone 2 that will receive the code (this is just for first time) and then he can use WhatsApp 2 in the phone 1 normally, of course if he needs also make normal calls from the phone 1 but with a different number then probably he can take a look on this kind of apps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esim.numero&hl=en_US&gl=US
[General Questions and Answers] TeamADW:
Hi, Hope im not jumping in the middle of anything.

Got a doosey of an issue here. I have 3 Motorola Z2 force phones on my desk.

Phone 1 is my long time phone, has a broken screen (finger print reader still works, I think)

Phone 2 is a verizon branded one that rejects my sim every couple hours.

Phone 3 is a blank phone from Motorola for their replacement phone service

Phone 1 does not recognise on my PC (win 10-64), but I need photos, texts, etc off the device

Phone 2 is getting returned, since it has sim slot issues

Phone 3 is a blank slate (aside from ATT apps, sigh)

Ive got a few softwares here that should work, like Lenovo / Motorolla's Rescue and SmartAssistant v5..0.19 to pull files when I get phone one connected. Phone 1 got a damaged ZIF slot when I was swapping the battery. We tried another screen, no dice. I know USB debug is enabled, because Ive used it for a few apps that need this like FoxFi usb tethering. But I think its either stuck in locked mode and the fingerprint reader is not working, or its in charge mode. Windows wont show it at all, and I havent been able to force it.

The other 2 phones show up fine in Windows and the recovery software.

Phone 2 wont recover half my apps, I suspect since its a verizon branded phone, its being difficult, and thus why phone 3 is here, and I havent tried to pull anything onto it.

Any suggestions before I write off my texts and photos as lost? I thought buying Pulse SMS instead of factory would be a great way to keep my text data from phone to phone too... but nope, looks like they went to a password login setup instead of it being tied to the phone number / android account, and I cant get my old messages either (since I was using it and didnt have a login)

Im currently trying my sim in the phone, navigating as I can to try and hopefully get Prey to recognise, and purchased a subscription to download that way. But it doent seem like its working.

Any help with something close to Fancy Widgets. I've been using since WAY back many many years ago. Newer version on play store is full of ads and doesn't work right anymore. They also seem to have shut down the server that had all the skins on it. I've had to un install it and go back to version 3.5.6 (last one before updated to ads) and was working great. Then my Verizon Galaxy Note 10+ updated to One UI 3.0 and android 11. That's when shins disappeared.

I need something just like fancy widgets v3.5.6 quality without ads.

I am on descendant xi based on android 11 and i flashed the latest lightning kernel v9.0 which has support for android 11.

Can i get the stock kernel of descendant so that i can flash it again? will that fix it?

[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Custom roms only change your kernel only if they showcased it in their thread. Otherwise, is your phone stock kernel. Flash that and you should be OK. Next time do check before hand if your custom kernel support exactly that rom on that device. A lot of people port roms over and over, you have to double check if it's compatible before flashing stuff. You might be lucky if it isn't hard bricked.

Suppose a new vendor comes for my device from miui while I am on a custom rom..do I need to flash that vendor then?? And if yes then just wiping vendor and then flashing it will do?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Mate I have no idea what device you have since you didn't disclose that information. You need to flash the vendor from your device stock ROM. Flashing anything else than your vendor from stock ROM or a custom vendor made exactly for your device will result in a hard brick. That means no longer responding. And yes, just wipe and flash it.

This is a kernel. Read it through

What is a kernel - Gary explains

Spend enough time around Android and eventually you will come across the term, “the Linux kernel.” What is a kernel? Let’s find out!

www.google.com

Now, if you aren't pleased with the kernel you are using, you can always get back to stock kernel, since stock kernel usually works the best. Now custom kernels might help save more battery or give more performance, everything is up to you. If something doesn't work after you ve flashed a new kernel, go back to something that works.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If Xiaomi won´t update your device anymore you should try with custom ALL, get it in familiarity with the specific model that you have, download some device info app from Play Store and check the codename; there are mainly two variants from the simple Redmi 3 -not to mention the C and Pro models- Qualcomm and MediaTek variants (storage capacity doesn´t make difference), then go to the Redmi 3 Forum and read carefully what steps are needed to install a custom ROM https://xdaforums.com/c/xiaomi-redmi-3.5097/

Hi all,

I am trying to install Lineage OS on my Essential PH-1. When I try

fastboot flash boot:raw recovery.img

fastboot hangs at

Sending 'boot:raw' (25737 KB)

I've unlocked the bootloader, installed all the relevant drivers, tried renaming the recovery file, and tried multiple USB cables/ports. Running Win 10 if that helps. Any tips?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Try to disable beside that app, anything else related to it, like game launcher and so on. Disabling just that app doesn't stop the other apps from enabling it back again.

Also, see if your device can get more than 40 fps. Such limitations are put in place in order to prevent damage to the device by over heating. Sure a game at 60 fps is appealing but a broken phone isn't.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It looks like an invalid command, I guess that LineageOS ROM comes in zip format so you should have a functional custom recovery to flash it, if you already haven´t read these two threads so your device has some particularities about partitioning scheme and you should need to boot or flash (just temporarily) TWRP but then you should need to fix it in the boot partition (there´s no recovery partition here) so it can survive https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-install-twrp-root-essential-ph-1-method-2.3841922/ https://twrp.me/essential/essentialph1.html
