[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] sundave:
Hello guys!

I'm on mi max 3 6/128gb with stable china rom 10.0.3.0 . I get the information GetVar Variable Not found

Can I flash MIUI.eu 10.2 STABLE? It will active the anti roll back?

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] 23+b9mx+xh8m:
Hail

The ARB in your Miui and phone already installed ARB = 4 , and it doesn't show itself in the GetVar.

You can retrieve arb level in hex editor from elf file.

Idk the right answer on your second question.

Many people wrote it is possible to switch,

in another side the guy with the rank of "the dev team" from the Miui en forum wrote: its impossible to do yourself, any move from china to global will lead to brick.

I find many posts abt switching and when I asked how they pass arb ppl ignore me as I apply an magic to be invisible.

in my opinion the bad result is also result but probably no one from that ppl want share it ))).

as conclusion either sides have heavy weight no way to detect who is ultimately right.

I decide to check it by my self in 5 days (Xiaomi delay unlock of boot loader).
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] palalos81:
Of course you can if you have your bootloader officially unlocked and installed the twrp. I've already done it
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] 23+b9mx+xh8m:
Could you please write what version of Chinese Rom you started transition to Global?

(this is my second question to "apply the invisible magic" be ignored)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] nijel8:
Do you think I can do what I do without flashing back and forth any kind of MIUIs - oreo/pie, stock/custom, china/global etc hundreds of times during testing fixes?

Never had a single boot problem. I don't flash firmware though!!! Don't need that for testing.

Right now the only problem that exists is if downgrading ROM versions/security patch level chances are you lose your data due to encryption. This is a security feature, not a bug... Data is still decrypted and accessible in TWRP so no biggy.

So your answer is versions don't matter if you backup your data to safe location first... And watch for ARB level! if you flash firmware!!!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Phanty:
Sorry for being a noob, but I'm new to ARB and not exactly a Linux expert. Which elf file are you referring to? I also have the 128 GB 6 GB RAM variant of this device and have installed .eu ROM overtop of Chinese ROM. I also have installed a GSI, however no matter the ROM, every time I run a getvar I cannot read the ARB. Could you can share this method or provide a link to source material where I can learn about where to locate and read this ELF file to determine ARB?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] 23+b9mx+xh8m:
You should have the image of your current ROM.

the easiest way to check the arb is unpack the image and find the script what perform update. in the script you will find

something like this

set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=4

http://ru.miui.com/thread-12941-1-1.html

next is also unpack image and find the file xbl.elf

open it in any hex editor (online or program) and check its value

Disclaimer

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Installation steps

- Make sure you have twrp 3.x installed

- Make sure your phone is charged to at least 60%

- Download the ROM, and transfer to your phone / external SD card if you have encryption active

- Make sure OEM Unlock is on in developer settings

- Boot the phone into TWRP

- Do a FULL wipe: Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, System

- Flash rom and boot (first boot may take 15-20 min)

- If you face any lags/hangs at first boot, reboot 2-3 times and it will be fixed

- If you want you can flash Magisc 17.3 to root your phone

Press thanks if you like the rom

Great job .Thanks.

Will you deodex it in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an-_-dro:
have you try any modification to your system files? or delete/debloat some apps?

"verity flag" triggerred to me when modification or deleting/debloat some apps :confused:

no-verity zip did nothing... (fstab not found in unpacked boot.img. this fstab might located in vendor partition)
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ariber14:
I believe it's already deodexed
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ariber14:
As i said above i changed nothing. But i'm not familiar with the fstab.if you tell me how to do it i can try and rebuilt it with the vendor folder and maybe make the changes nessesary for this
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an-_-dro:
in my case, after i delete even only one app (with file manager romtoolbox) then restart. all become messed up.. message FC, romtoolbox file manager unable to copy/delete anymore, magisk become FC when try to download madule. i have to restore my backup up to fix this.

i just curious if this just happen to me or not. try delete any app that you consider bloatware, then restart and see if u have the same symptoms :D

definitely i need (we need) custom kernel with removed all protections (RMM, knox related, dm verity etc.) if we want fully modded stock rom..
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ariber14:
I deleted about 8 apps and everything works good. do you have root with magisc 17.3?

You can try this boot.img. flash it as image from twrp

Download Here
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an-_-dro:
i flashed 17.1 i gez..but will try your boot.img first.

thanks

**what actually on that boot.img change?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ariber14:
This is the boot.img i use.i had no problems. try it, and maybe you need to flash magics again. but tell me how it is
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an-_-dro:
but wait, your model is FN and mine is G/DS. do u think that will cause some trouble?

when this error things done, i have so many plan with it... maybe later i'll upload deodexed version. for your base to make custom rom..
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ariber14:
I don't know if it will work but either way you can make your own patched boot img.just keep a backup of the bot.img you are using now and you can try the patched ones
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an-_-dro:
still same.. :eek: after debloating, become crash on certain application..

maybe i need custom kernel :D
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] balanadi:
What model you have ? A605FN or A605G/DS ?

Maybe i can help you to make a stock file with TWRP included ..
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an-_-dro:
my model is G/DS.

thanks but i got my phone deodexed already (rooted of course since TWRP by ashyx). but until now i barely can not modifying anything... replacing and deleting file make my phone unstable (already talked about this in your thread).

for your information..unstable or crash of my phone its not because i deleted some app and their dependencies.. even replacing god damn xml file triggering that weird thing :silly:

The Rom runs very very Slow on my Phone.

FN version.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ariber14:
This rom is made for a605fn from stock firmware A605FNXXU2ARG2 for south east europe.

This is the firmware

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a6-plus/SM-A605FN/SEE/download/A605FNXXU2ARG2/232200/

I guess you have a different region installed.so eather you go back to the one you had or you can flash the stock firmware of south east europe and then you can use the custom rom without problem
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ashyx:
I built this to use with twrp.

It already has dm-verity, defex etc disabled and permissive/enforcing.

It's built for F/FN, but should work on any A605 model.

Might need to Format /data after flashing the kernel in TWRP.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an-_-dro:
thank you so much. will flash right now and will let you know...

defex, samsung root protection, dm-v already parched to my kernel tho..but still persist error. let see if this can cure my anomaly :D

thanks again brother...

ow, one more thing, the good thing is when replacing services.jar and framework.jar my phone still okay

----------------------------------------------

edit: even already permissive, still magisk forceclose, msg, radio, etc... so iritating :eek:

Couple of things to try. Wipe dalvik and cache. Disable TIMA and KNOX.

when the first time i came up with this, i thought also related to knox..so i debloat all knox apk and lib, set knox and TIMA to 0 , dm-v to false in build.prop and default.prop but still no change.

general dm-verity script, got from s9 thread regarding anti-root removal, flashed that too but still.

i dont know whate else to do but at least i can modify jar files in framework folder. so i can live with that..for now :mad:

[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] Saptarshi_99:
The Nokia 6.1 Plus (Nokia x6) recieved the android pie update on October 31, 2018. HMD Global said that they have a new camera app for us with Google Lens integration. But the Nokia camera in this device still does not have Google Lens integration and even the Google Lens application in the Play Store is not compatible with the device yet. However the GCam apk for the Nokia 6.1 Plus with Night Sight and HDR+ etc. does have Google Lens, but still the fact remains that Nokia did not provide Google Lens integration for its own camera app despite promising to do so. A point to be noted here is that the Nokia camera app for Nokia 6.1 already has Google Lens integration. The Nokia 7 Plus also recently received the Google Lens integration for its camera app with the November security patch.

Hi.

According to the specs this box should be able to play x265 ("H.265 HEVC MP-10 at L5.1, up to 4K x 2K at 60fps") but I have found a series of files it won't handle: it stutters or does not start at all. The same file plays just fine on my Linux box using mpv or on my Moto G5Splus using vlc. I've tried vlc also on the mibox, any other decent players that will read from a NAS via SMB?

Basically, I want what the cube's face is with the contacts, all finger friendly, but as a standalone application, so it can be used with GSmart, and give me my favorite contacts in a single touch of a button.

Does anything like this exist?

So I flashed my VS995 to the US996 (non USCellular) using the 10f KDZ.

Now i can flash the appropriate stock rom. Thank you so much, you saved my phone.

I tried flash the stock rom 4.4.4 that i have here on my PC, but now the loop are in bootloader unlocked screen. i installed the twrp and looked at the log. shows:

"Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)"

I was able to remove the error messages in the twrp log. it just repair system and data in twrp-wipe. after that I tried the flash with another stock rom 4.4.4 and now everything is working normally. Very happy with my phone resurrection.

Hi, when you say old probably it was drained the battery so to fix the problem what I suspect that the battery is 0% you need charger with little bit more Ampers like an original charger for Samsung 5v and 2A so put the cell phone on that charger for about 2-3 hours and if is that the problem it will be fixed. Good luck :)

The phone was with cyanogen mod 13.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] WTF DUDE:
Rooted SGS8+ wont boot up after restart:"only official released binaries are allowed"

Hello People,

I've rooted my SGS8+ almost a year ago. 1 week ago I had to send my phone to the service center because of a dead pixel in my screen.

The service center have replaced the screen and wiped unfortunately all the data. :eek:

Ofcourse I want to get rid of all the bloatware again and so I just tried to Root my phone. Everything went fine, I only forgot to place my simcard, which I placed after the root.

And this ofcourse asked me to reboot the phone which I did.

Since then my SGS8+ would not boot anymore and gives the message (above the samsung logo): "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed after reboot", in red text.

So I've looked arround on the internet and can't find really much about this message. Some "solutions" which for me don't work like:

I did download stock firmware from Sammobile, but if I'm trying to flash this firmware it will give me the message: "sw rev check fail device 4 binary 2"

I seriously dont know what to do and I really hope someone could explain me some..

I would like to know why this message even occurs, is it like Samsung trying to stop people from rooting?

And should I leave my phone now for 7 days? And will it boot up after?

I've tried to check other forums but nothing really helped or no real solution for me.

Hope I dont bother you guys.

Kinds regards,

Tom
