This is what I did:

1. Booted to fastboot

2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

3. fastboot boot recovery.img

The red wolf recovery logo appeared and nothing else happened. I had to turn off the phone and when I went back into recovery it was default xiaomi recovery

[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dadi11:
what is your rom and how exactly did you flash the recovery?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] spiderpl:
1 . My Rom: MIUI Global 8.4.19 Beta

2. I have flashed recovery in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)

3. fastboot reboot (holding vol+ and power)

4. Red Wolf Recovery starts up

5. I set all necessary options and rebooted into system

I flashed again but this time I also installed Magisk and as for now RedWolf is still there. I have one more question: what is option Support OTA Survival trigger package?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] spiderpl:
I noticed one more thing. Recovery time is incorrect. I live in Poland so my time zone is UTC + 1. I set this time zone and I have marked daylight savings time and despite this there is a difference of 4.5 hours. Now is 10:08 and in recovery is 5:26

sometimes when I check "reboot after zip flash" option, instead of rebooting it goes to main menu and I have to manually reboot.

Please see if it can be fixed. rest was all OK

can you please share when this comes out of beta? v28 I mean.

secondly you have updated that title but didn't link the v28 in the first post and people have to come to last threads to download.

lastly your redwolf website download link also provides the old v27 which is not treble compatible and not updated.

would appreciate your small time to update threads + beta to stable.

I see there are several updates in the github, are you planning to release a new version soon?

i noticed a few more bugs recently:

1. Cust partition is unable to backup, but the option to select it is present during backup. I think its now mounted as vendor so please also remove the option.

2. A nandroid full backup i created did not restore cleanly. There were a lot of force closes for Google Play services however all the other apps were working fine. Only Google play services gave me huge pain to fix.

3. Reboot after zip install option does not work. After I install a zip and manually reboot, 1st time it does not work and goes to home screen. Then i press again system reboot and it works.... This same thing happens everytime i perform any operation in recovery, the reboot goes back to main screen and works 2nd time.

4. Screen timeout and brightness values are lost everytime screen turns off. When wake up device, i have to reconfigure brightness to low and timeout to 15 sec. Should persist between screen off/on as well as device reboots.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lenknermj:
I just replaced an LCD in a Tilt that I bought used - I've been playing with it, and it appears that it doesn't have a built-in GPS - it does, however, has a rubber plug on the back that says "GPS" on it, and under it is a connector.

Do any of the AT&T 8925's NOT have a built-in GPS? Perhaps I got an early release or something?

Please let me know if that's the problem, or if perhaps I just have an old ROM image on it.

Thanks!

- M
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] c.b:
The rubber plug on the back is for an external GPS antenna. AFAIK all kaisers and their varients ( TYTN II , Tilt etc) have GPS built in.

If you dont have it already look for the GPS test cab on here and install it then run it to see if you get a GPS lock. To test it properly though have it switched on and go for a short walk or drive to ensure it picks up a signal without being blocked by buildings etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lenknermj:
I must be having a bad day, or I am just plain oblivious.

Either way, please dont flame, but...

Can you please provide a link to the GPSTool? I found the HTC GPS thingie, but it's saying 'Failed to open' on COM4. Please keep in mind that this is my first PDA phone, and this is all pretty new to me.

Thanks!!!

Again - you need to be outside with a direct line of sight to the sky to get your best test results.

You could also try to install GoogleMaps to see if it finds your GPS hardware.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lenknermj:
Well, I guess it was the combination of horrible AT&T ROMs...I put the HTC shipping WM6 ROM and the GPS fired up right away....

Now all I have to do is figure out whether I want to try playing with the WM 6.1 ROM. :)

Thanks for all your help, guys!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ll9X:
After my phone randomly bootlooped after almost 2 years i wanted to install a new custom rom. I have a redmi Note 3 SE (kate). So far only nitrogen os with oreo has worked. Every other custom rom is producing bootloop. On nitrogen my fingerprint does not work and some buttons don't do what I expect them to (left one is not go back, middle one is recent apps for some reason). So I really want to instll a different rom.

What I usually do to install the roms:

Factory reset -> Install Rom -> Install Gaps -> Reboot -> Bootloop (Except nitrogen oreo)

What am I doing wrong here? I am really getting desperate here.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ll9X:
I already tried twrp 3.2.1. Yesterday I also tried flashing global beta firmware. I unlocked mine unfoficially so I flashed without emmc. Unfortunately that didn't change anything. After that I just flashed with emmc (wasn't completely sure if I unlocked it unofically). As a result I couldn't start my os and twrp anymore. Bootloader was locked again. I unlocked it in edl mode again and flashed RR. After that it finally worked. I was so surprised. I have no idea why flashing without emmc didn't change anything but after a lot of struggle it worked at least.

Thanks for your reply that seems to be the correct solution. It would be kind of nice if more custom rom threads would mention that you need a new firmware because some people like may not know that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Black_Stark:
Lol..you are cute.

You should know that officially unlocking and unofficial unlocking is not same thing.

Emmc file is bootloader update. Flashing firmware with emmc file will update both firmware and bootloader partition

Only officially unlocked devices can flash emmc file without bricking thier phones and relocking. So better officially unlock ur device to update emmc in future.

In Android Oreo you need to enable install apps from unknown sources for every app. Open the settings app, get the app selection and go to the information page of the Amazon Appstore app. From there you should see an option to enable the installation of apps from unknown sources.

and To do root to a pixel is worth it??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Depends if you think it is. For me, definitely yes! I like AdAway, TiBu, sound mods, and the ability to flash kernels and roms, or whatever may come down the pike. It's your call though :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
I've had over a dozen Android phones and all were rooted, usually within the first week because they were all missing something that I considered essential. When I got my P2XL, I kept it stock for a month because it was that good. This is the first Android phone that I could probably live with entirely stock. All of the others needed some sort of tweaking, but I can honestly say the P2XL is a fantastic device right out of the box. Android has come a long way, and most of the things that I changed with root have been incorporated into the OS.

If you rely on AdAway or Viper4Android, then you still need root for those. I had V4A on all of my previous phones, but I don't currently have it on my P2XL because the audio output is good enough for me (I had V4A a few weeks ago, but I wiped & flashed my phone and never reinstalled it). I have used AdAway in the past and it works great, but it sometimes blocks useful links and I am too lazy to revert to default hosts and reboot. I use Brave browser + AdGuard to kill ads, and they serve my needs very well (AdGuard uses a VPN that can be easily toggled when you want to login to bank/credit card account, etc).

I suggest using the Pixel 2 stock for a while, and see if you still need root. Rooting takes less than 5 minutes to do, but if you don't need it, then no need to mess with it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chance Ill:
I also choose to root for all the reasons mentioned. On the other hand, since the introduction of Android, this is the first device I could actually use without any mods and be satisfied. In fact, I'm currently using stock. The ability to choose is most important but it's definitely not necessary

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] digitalninjas:
I followed Tony Chen's guide and it worked nicely to replace everything BUT the QWERTY keyboard. I've read around and people say to follow that to replace the QWERTY keyboard - however if you actually try and do that, theres no actual way to get the keyboard in/out. It seems as if the keyboard is physically bonded with a backplate and the flex-pcb glued underneath.

Has anybody successfully replaced the keyboard? Because it doesn't seem like it since theres no documentation available (both forum or guide) so I'm leading to think this is NOT user replaceable. I called Cellular-Dr and they said they can (I forgot the exact price, I believe it was $50) but I'm stumped on how they actually do that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] digitalninjas:
Fixed!

Well, after examining the keyboard - I decided to give up hope and gave it to DrCellPhone.com and here are the results (sorry for the poor quality pics, tia)

OEM parts I installed

everything except the battery has been replaced, and thank you to DrCellPhone for the good experience and extra little freebie you threw in!! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] digitalninjas:
It is in essence a new phone

The keyboard seems to be specially glued down somehow to a flex-like PCB board. I didn't want to take my chances and try to remove the bonding, I kept poking around but eventually just gave up in fear of ruining another special-order item.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=why+to+not+root+android
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rukbat:
System rooting, if done properly, is just adding the (call it file or utility - it's both from a Linux viewpoint) file su to the system, so it's not a matter of damaging the phone or rendering it useless. And with Magisk (systemless rooting) it's even easier. Magisk will restore the boot partition (which is all it modifies) so you're left with an untouched phone and, if you really want it stock, you can always boot to TWRP (without installing it), back up your data, copy the backup and /sdcard ro a PC, flash the latest factory ROM, boot to TWRP, restore it, copy /sdcard back and aside from the bootloader being unlocked, you haven't done anything.

The question, though, is whether it's worth it. If you're never going to do anything that needs root access, of course not. It's 10 minutes you'll never get back. But if you want to tweak the kernel, or some other parts of Linux, or you want to run something that will only run with root access, I don't see any reason not to - as long as you know what you're doing and don't brick the phone. (I've recovered from what I call a "semi-hard brick" twice [level 2 tech support actually shipped a replacement phone because they were convinced that it was bad hardware, but I figured out how to recover from the problem in software], so I think the phone is pretty "recoverable".) And if you run Linux, running without su or sudo just feels wrong - it's like running on one leg. Just remember to exit if you run su in a terminal, for the usual reasons - rm -r -d --no-preserve-root will still remove the entire partition. (Which should still be recoverable from, unless you get really stupid.)
