Hi,

But I always get some errors. I never had this with my mi max 2.

I am afraid to brick this Redmi Note 5. Please help me

First, copy the twrp image onto internal storage. After you connect it in the fastboot mode, boot into twrp (fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-whyred.img), then after you booted into twrp, flash the twrp image within twrp.

Stock twrp is a hustle to install you need to unlock the fastboot using dummy.img and use lazy flasher...

Just use redwolf recovery find it and

Fastboot boot redwolf.img

Install redwolf.img as recovery

Reboot to recovery

Enable USB Debugging (security settings) and then try

fastboot boot twrp.img

Then once again flash twrp.img within twrp recovery

fastboot flash recovery commands will not work in antirollback enabled ROM

All you have to do is fastboot boot twrp.img

From twrp once again you have to flash twrp.img

Waiting for device means you haven't installed required Xiaomi drivers in your PC, install drivers and then try

There are two types of USB DEBUGGING in Xiaomi phones

USB DEBUGGING

USB DEBUGGING (Security settings)

You have to enable these two options

If you still face problem maybe you can try different PC/Laptop
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] cassinni:
Both USB Debugging are enabled. Also the right drivers are installed. I have done this several times for other Xiaomi

devices, but this Redmi Note 5 Global Version (Dual Cameras) Red is crazy.

Maybe this cannot work because this is not Global Rom. It is Global Version and there is no twrp that supports Version.

I want to install twrp so i can flash xiaomi.eu 10 on it. Everything is stock on the phone and it does not work.

Sometimes it finds the phone and says file size too large and wont flash, or it gets stuck while flashing for 30mins and nothing happens or i get this error i just posted. I dont want to downgrade firmware, i want to update from 9 to 10.

The antirollback was the issue. Now I am in TWRP. Do i have to wipe something? Please give exact command lines and where I enter them.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] cassinni:
I flash twrp successfully. Then i went to wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data, System, Vendor.

Then Installed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote5Pro_8.8.30_v10-8.1.zip. At the end of install it had an error

for Vendor. E2001 Failed to update vendor image. Updater process ended with error 7.

I rebooted and now everytime i reboot it takes me to Fastboot screen?

Please help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Once again fastboot boot twrp.img and flash twrp

You have to avoid erasing vendor partition just system data cache dalvik cache is enough
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] cassinni:
I was in fastboot and used in adb fastboot boot twrp.img, then i got to twrp.

Now I should reflash twrp-3.2.3-0-whyred.img as recovery or vendor image?

I did already as recovery and then wiped data, cache, delvik and system as you said

then installed xiaomi.eu rom but i got the same vendor error.

Hello.

The problem is arb4 in this version of miui ;)

follow the order of operations marked here:

https://androidfilebox.com/tips/root-redmi-note-5/

just add between step 10 and step 11 the unlocking of the arb4 ; this is possible with "toolkit flasher" that you find there:

http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3282063&extra=page=3&mobile=2 (4 flash unlock anti roll back)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] cassinni:
everyone tells me something different :(

the phone is not on miui 10. it was on stock stable miui 9. the flashing of 10 failed. The bootloader is already unlocked by xiaomi.

I believe my problems come from wiping vendor before i tried to flash miui 10 in twrp. I wasnt trying to downgrade (roll back), so arb4 should be irrelevant.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Alright guys, if you are using GSI Pie ROMs while waiting for SG Markus, will you share your variant of the V30 and if your camera is working...i have the LS998 and the camera is the only thing that isn't working...I would call most GSI ROMs that I have tried stable but...no camera....
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Alex-M8:
I'm using benzorom Pie GSI with H930 and my camera is working with the modded google camera i got here on xda but snapchat never works. Performance is amazing with this rom though, i get about 230k in antutu benchmark and beat the s9 in GPU score.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] gwest02:
Hello again. I'm still running your s8 port and it works great on my 928t. Which of your roms do you think is a nice upgrade. The o.s. is nougat on the s8 port. I still enjoy it but what are your thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] AFFAFXP:
this one is BOMB

Just Make Sure you let it boot the first time and after setup then login to your ACCOUNT like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc. Then allow all apps to update when finished reboot and your all good to go. Remember these builds are based on NougaT 7.0 Security Updates, I have built each ROM and tested and used each and every one. I keep them BLOATED = as much of the original software ALL WORKING, and DeBloated which is as MINIMAL of a install as it gets. THE REASON FOR THE BUILDS is like system updates by way of SUD= Security update ROM's so your phone is always current with the SUD's Enjoy "This one "DragonBlaze" is my favorite ROM" im loving EVERYTHING Working like Volte Etc:)

Special Note:

On some of the builds they fail the Magisk safetynet check but with Pixel Launcher all test pass I have said for some time now Touchwiz is BUGGY... anyway other options are PIXEL LAUNCHER, Evie Launcher, and Microsoft Launcher. My pick would be Pixel Launcher...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] m4lc12140:
my phone went into deep sleep after flash this idk why, how do i fix this? please and thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] AFFAFXP:
Flash another Rom I have never had a deep sleep on this device at all from my roms. DID you do a Dirty flash ??

To boot into recovery HOLD ALL THE BUTTONS and watch the screen when it starts take your finger off the VOLUME DOWN button only and you should get the Recovery boot. If not you have to use Odin to do a Factory install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] m4lc12140:
i did a fresh install ( stock firmware then trwp then CFW)

my phone never got that problem and its weird bcz i love the build is a nice build and it runs smoothly on my phone but every time i have to turn on the phone, i have to make a forced restart
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] AFFAFXP:
Try the DragonBlaze ROM it has everything working and no reported issues...

and you are following these steps i'm sure but just checking

TWRP RECOVERY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

* First Thing You Want To Do Is Reboot Into TWRP Recovery And Backup Your Device! (Boot, Data, System, etc...)

* Download THE ROM

* Place The Rom Into Your Internal Storage.

* Now Reboot Into TWRP Recovery.

* While In TWRP Recovery, Press "Wipe" And Then "Swipe To Factory Reset".

* Now Select "Cache", "Dalvik Cache", "Data", And "System" And Then "Swipe To Wipe".

* Now Install The Rom Until Its Finished.

AGAIN Try the DragonBlaze ROM im sure it will fix any issues ....

Anybody Else run into this same issue ????

do you have the correct version of TWRP for the SM-G928T I use 3.1.1-0 i updated it one time to a higher version and id did not play well with ROMS

Can you make a version that include Samsung account?

Because I need to use Samsung health and Samsung app store

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] AFFAFXP:
The Bloated version has a few apps removed http://affamusicfiles.noip.me:7654/C:/Android-Builds/Rom-PiccaDilly-SUD-8-1-2018-Blolated.zip and has your apps included FYI The most stable and everything working is DragonBlaze Bloated Version.....

Hello friends,

How are you? I am a user of Samsung J7 pro (Android 7.0). I have previously used Samsung Note 4 (Android 6.0).

I am unfortunately not a big fan of the new UI of Android 7.0 on J7 Pro; I like the old UI which my Samsung Note 4 had. I wish to know is there any way I can change the Status bar and drop down menu color?

[IMG="The UI I like and I wish my J7 pro to have this UI."]https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Note-4-Notification-Options.jpg[/IMG]

Is there any theme or way to change the UI?

Looking forward.

I think anyone who tried flashing Magisk on any of the latest phh GSI discovered that wifi, mobile data and calls suddenly get their teeth kicked in.

Since nobody appears to care about that issue much, we have to make do with a workaround.

Credits go to [MENTION=7890493]xJovs[/MENTION] for being the one to actually provide proper steps in this post, but since not many people will be lucky enough to stumble upon it while desperately searching through threads, I decided to make a thread here for all the lost souls.

Although the custom kernel part is supposedly optional, one can't say no to a functional custom kernel on Pie. :p

1. Download the ab superuser and the superuser apk from HERE and the SmurfKernel

2. Get your hands on a TWRP image

3. Boot into it with fastboot ( at the moment we can only boot into TWRP since Magisk is a no go )

4. Flash the SmurfKernel

5. Reboot into the OS

6. Boot into TWRP again

7. Flash the superuser ab zip

8. Boot into the OS and install the Superuser apk

9. Enjoy raw root permissions ( without all the Magisk goodies but still better than nothing )

Niiiiiiice
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CroW_D:
Also no one cares that substratum still won't work with this root method anyone found also a workaround for that ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeik:
Yeah, I don't know why it won't work. Root permission should be root permission, after all.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CroW_D:
I thinks since it needs vendor 9.0 and not 8.1 could be
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeik:
Vendor should have no effect on root permission.

And we can't use the 9.0 vendor on any phh GSI due to incompatibility.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CroW_D:
I tried with coming from h2os last time and magisk and subs was working but breaking other things. So I guess it should be vendor
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] romen288:
This method kinda roots the phone. You can't use system root. Things like moving files through root explorer won't work cause you can't access system root. Things like substratum won't work cause of that
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Nice Work and thanks for sharing!

I guessed that but didn't get to confirm it since I switched back to OOS Beta 1.

thoughts about it?

how would it protect my privacy

i want to know also how google services can be privacy threat do they have malicious code made by like other trackers (like windows trackers ...websites... etc..)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalvagas:
The most basic thing you should do:

do not grant various apps on your phone the permission to access your album, contact, sms or email, location and so on, unless you really need to use their functions that require such permission.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] whitedragon551:
Recently picked up the Note 9. Ive noticed in my contacts I have several google accounts called Started in Android. I have 5 or 6 of them. I dont have any contacts starred. Anyone else notice this on any of their other phones or know a fix? Its driving me nuts. Ive looked through contacts, calendars, gmail, and duo to find where these potential groups are and cannot find any trace of them so not sure how they got there. Was able to remove my google account for the play store and confirmed the numerous starred in android contacts groups were removed. Readded the account and they were added back.

Anyone else have this on the Note 9 as well?

EDIT: Screenshot attached
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] fbauto1:
Starred, u mean as favorite?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] whitedragon551:
Screenshot attached to OP. I got there by going to contacts > groups > expanding my Google account type.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] netnerd:
I only have 1 starred in android inside Group. nothing inside Account.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] whitedragon551:
Would appear that something is wonky with my Google account then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] clone1008:
You may have to clean it up from the actual website from a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] whitedragon551:
As I said, Ive already been through Google contacts, calendars, gmail, and duo. The groups do not exist on a phone or from a web browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] clone1008:
My suggestion was based on your comment. Everything you mentioned that you have done could've been done from your phone. I have noticed in some of my situations that some things only cleared up when I did it from a computer. I just wasn't sure you had tried that. The only other thing I can think of is that you have multiple accounts selected to show contacts that are duplicating things
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] whitedragon551:
I do have multiple accounts selected to show like the screenshot you provided, but only sync contacts from my Google account under the account settings. Removing the google account specifically removes all the contacts and Starred in Android groups so there isnt anything on the local phone. I can also replicate the issue by going into Google contacts on a PC, removing all contacts, syncing the phone, everything disappears including the duplicate groups. Recreating a single contact adds 5 more Starred in Android groups that are irremovable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] clone1008:
I am out of suggestions then. If you find a solution please be sure to post it. This will surely be an issue as more people get the Note 9.

You can use DC-unlocker but that costs 4$.

Or you may be able to use this method.

Also I saw on the p10 lite forums that someone found a website where Honor provides a limited amount of unlock codes for XDA members. But he is not sure if that is really legit. Anyway the thread is here:).

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Narsil007:
I've been rooting since my OG Droid days back in 2010 but this will be my first foray into the LG world. I've read ChazzMatt's & TxanMoe's guides several times (much thanks to you guys!) but I'm still a bit confused on what the advantages of flashing a US998 to VS996 is.

My eBay 9/10 "Like New" US998 V30+ arrives tomorrow and I've already downloaded the drivers, LGUP, and the files in ChazzMatt's guide.

I don't want any of the Verizon apps on my phone. Is there any advantage to flashing VS996 and then uninstalling/freezing all the Verizon apps? Does VS996 provide anything other than the Verizon apps that come on the Verizon V30?

Thank you in advance for helping an LG newb.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I'm not a Verizon customer, but stuff like Verizon voice mail, WiFi calling are what are commonly mentioned. There may be ways of getting that without flashing the VS996 ROM, I don't know.

Verizon users can chime in.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MaxusValtron:
Pretty much everything ChazzMatt said. There are some guides to getting WiFi calling working for Verizon, but I never got any of them to work for me (and not for lack of trying, I did every suggestion). Once you flash VS996 you'll be able to use the WiFi calling and get your visual voicemail. And because you have root, its not too bad to just totally uninstall all the Verizon bloatware apps. Given that I was running a stock US998 ROM anyway, there was not reason not to switch to VS996. After uninstalling Verizon apps with root, its the same as stock except WiFi calling and visual voicemail work.

Hope that helps.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Narsil007:
Thank you very much for the info!

I guess I'll flash the VS996 and start uninstalling.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cal50:
Playing around with my LG V30 for a couple weeks now with the stock Verizon ROM and its really not bad at all. It does not feel constipated with bloat and runs fast and snappy. I disabled quite a few apps thru settings and installed the apps I wanted without issue complete stock. Battery life really kicks arse. I prefer the Verizon VM and visual VM so I will keep it stock for a while or until it does something I cant live without then void the warranty.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
That also includes Advance Calling too? I'm editing my WTF guide to recommend flashing the [MENTION=3642089]westwood24[/MENTION] TWRP flashable file after bootloader unlock and root. People can experiment with custom ROMs when they have time, the purpose of my Guide is to get them up and running after bootloader unlock and root.
