Stuck on boot agian..

I tried flash OTA manual by fastboot & flash patched stuck too!

I think I need reset to root?

*NOTICE: I installed Xposed framwork on oreo, May that's problem?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Hakkinan:
Wait, did you try to flash the whole OTA?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] HaN5aR:
At first I updated from oreo to pie via OTA without any VPN

I failed to root it so, I tried flash it again from HERE but facing the same problem with root it stuck on bootanimations
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] FRibeiro1400:
Unfortunatelly, it seems the link for the OTA zip was removed, so, phone will stay bricked thanks to the lack of instructions of how to update to Pie when Magisk is installed. Why do they remove the links?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Hakkinan:
Ok, now i understand what is happening. It bootloops as soon as you reboot after installing magisk right? If so, then i need to know what you are doing to install magisk.

First the server is down, nobody removed the file, you just need to wait for it to go up again. Second, you can easily revert your phone back to 10.0.1.0 and stay there, your phone isn't bricked and it doesn't have to stay in this current state.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] FRibeiro1400:
I never had 10.01.0 installed. I was on Oreo and got the update this morning. I've followed the rule for OTA with Magisk and it was the wrong thing to do. If, at least, there was a warning to NOT follow the instructions, all would be sorted. Maybe I can find a link somewhere with this update, as I don't want to lose my data. On Xiaomi official site, the last rom available is version V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF. Unless I install this one back.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Hakkinan:
Doesn't matter if you had 10.0.1.0 previously or not. You can download it and install it without losing data.

Has any ROM or lets say Kernel within a ROM Widevine L1 support and not L3? For HD-streaming?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Etyl:
[MENTION=2739030]thE_29[/MENTION]

L1 Widevine keys would have to be in SOC secure enclave, they aren't -> no ROM can enable L1 on this tablet.

Xiaomi could add L1 keys to the device (it has a supported SOC and device unique key which are both requirements for Widevine provisioning 3.0 - OTA - to work), just like they are doing with Pocophone, but it's 99.99% sure they won't - Chinese users don't care and Mi Pad 4 had no global release, nor there is a global release planned.

Assume L1 will never come to Pad 4, because the chance of it happening is super low.

Etyl, do you know how widevine is handled on PCs with browser based viewing? Is it via a web plugin? I am curios if that could be a strategy for Android devices that lack support in soc/keys. I think the Kodi netflix implementation relies on underlying soc/keys.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Etyl:
Same way as mobile devices - with keys in hardware secure enclave and with extra software security:

On PC you're watching in 720p unless you have an Intel 7xxx, 8xxx or 9xxx CPU which comes with Widevine keys in secure enclave AND you're using Internet Explorer (for up to 1080p) or Edge/Microsoft store Netflix app on Windows 10 (for 4k). Source: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742

Hello,

Yesterday my phone felt on the floor and the screen broke in 1000 pieces. I am not afraid of replacing the display on my own, but I don't want to replace it with non-original displays. Online there are a lot of different prices and solutions.

Could someone please tell me where to buy the original screen replacement. Touchscreen is still working.

I live in Belgium, near Hasselt. If somebody from Belgium knows a shop, where it can be repaired with original displays, that would also be nice.?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] br0ken_gl1tch:
Could anyone tell me why Samsung released this device with this horrible bug? Second day after purchasing the phone, stock apps still on it, I'm watching a YouTube video and my phone just freezes. I can hear a messenger call ringing in the background but my phone is completely unresponsive. It does it while playing games, browsing the web, even while checking my phone settings and apps. Is there any fix for this other than twiddle my thumbs and hope for an update. That or purchase another phone, which isnt feasible at this moment due to budget constraints. With a phone this buggy, samsung should have allowed an exchange program. I would be willing to go back to the sky pro or earlier, just so I don't have to wait for my phone to reset itself every time it freezes.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] viper98:
Using 3x zoom in the camera doesn't switch to the 80mm lens. It just gives a crop from the 40mp main sensor.

Is there a way to actually use the 3x lens?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Horayken:
In my case to make it work I force Focus, after that i can see the swap between lenses.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] viper98:
How do you force focus? I tired manual focus and it still didn't change lenses when going from 1 to 3x
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] djlukas1983:
Just tap somewhere in the picture and it will change to the optical zoom lens.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] viper98:
That doesn't do anything but use a crop from the 40mp sensor to give a fake "zoom". You would get the same results using the 40mp mode and cropping the image yourself

I'm convinced the optical zoom lens exists for nothing but marketing. The only lens on the back that is ever used for any photos is the middle lens.

Maybe it is something weird with mine. You can check this by covering the other lenses with your finger
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] djlukas1983:
You must use it in enough bright environment because it won't switch to zoom lens when it's not enough bright.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Svetz:
Dude, everyone can see the lens switching, the telephoto one have OIS, i use the zoom all the time, if i cover the telephoto lens i cant see anything, so yes the telephoto is fully functional and not a made up marketing, in pie they even added a toggle to the HDR mode so you can get HDR pictures using it faster. (in adroid oreo you can manually zoom until 3x on HDR but now alot easier). the only times you cant use it and the phone will switch back to the main lens, is:

1. At Night or when theres not enough light.

2.If you try to focus a object that is just too close.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mike613ottawa:
I was wondering why my indoor 3x zoom pics were so poor. I had tried covering the zoom lens in the past, proving that it actually does switch between the two lenses. What I didn't realize until now, is that when the camera doesn't have enough light, the zoom lens isn't used and the 3x becomes a digital zoom using the main (middle) lens. You can easily see this by turning on the 3x zoom, covering it up, and shifting a live view from a bright window to a dark area inside - when pointing outside the lens is blocked, but when you swing around and point the camera inside you can see the image (because it is no longer using the 2x lens).

That explains the poor indoor zoom shots I've been taking - thanks!!

Now I still need to find out what the monochrome lens is actually doing in colour photos. Playing with blocking the lens only seems to have an effect in monochrome mode, but it is supposed to contribute to capturing all photos. Any suggestions...?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] avmad:
Hi all,

:crying: - Looking for a way to get my Mi Note 2 back to life!

This device has never been unlocked or ROMed before (although it has been re-flashed successfully via Xiaomi's own pushed updates).

It is running MIUI 10.0.something (cannot access menus to verify exact).

The problem

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

I did a standard factory reset on the phone.

Once restarted, it takes you through the normal setup screens such as 'language', 'region', 'wifi network' after which I am given the option to select "copy your data from an old phone" or "set up as new", no matter which I select, my phone goes to the next screen which shows "Checking for updates". Here it stays - endlessly...

What have I tried?

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

I have tried a different wifi network but it does the same.

I have also tried selecting "copy your data" instead of "set up as new" but it does the same.

Thoughts

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

I thought I would try to install a new stock ROM to see if that would fix the issue. However, in order to unlock with the Mi bootloader unlock tool (and then use their flashing tool), apparently to do this, I need to enable something under developer options - clearly impossible when I cannot get to any android menus.

The phone *can* be re-started into the fastboot screen but does this help me at all?

On the MIUI website I noticed the following in the tips and tutorials forum: How to install a MIUI update without unlocking the bootloader: https://en.miui.com/thread-3852597-1-1.html

The above got me slightly excited before I realised that I have no way to place a ROM into the ‘downloaded_rom’ folder in the internal storage of my device (as the article instructs). Note that the reason for this (on my phone at least) is that although a Windows explorer window does open when I connect the phone to my laptop, it is empty (i.e. you cannot see any files/folders in it). BTW - I know what causes that specific issue as that bug was present in the device ages ago - basically, the phone seems to default to be in USB charge mode and in order to see the folders in Windows Explorer, you have to go into developer options and manually change the USB mode and then change it back to MTP mode. Once that is done, you can see the files/folder structures. However, I cannot get to any developer options as I cannot get to Settings at all.

What can I do?

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

So my burning question is this: How can I re-ROM this theoretically 'working' device, given the above constraints?

Is there any way to do anything while the phone is in the fastboot mode perhaps?

Is there some method maybe used to recover a bricked device that I could employ here?

Thank you for any help offered!

Cheers!

I recently bought Samsung A7 phone.My problem is that especially during night time in a dark room when i am watching Trailers or movies in You tube or any other Digital streaming app i found a color banding issue that prevents the screen from accurately displaying different shades of black. As a result, an image or video with colors that fade from black to dark gray might replace some of the grays with black. On top of that, the dark areas of the image may before grainy or pixelated.

In this test http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php#blacktest.png I can distinguish the squares from 6 to the last without problems on 50% brightness.

At 100% brightness I can also see square 5, but 1,2,3,4 looks the same as 5.

So does that count as black crush?

Until now I haven`t see any problem when watching videos, everything looks crystal clear for me.

Look at this https://i.imgur.com/Y1snoFf.jpg and tell me how many boxes you can see.

At 50% brightness I can differentiate every step from 3% (1,2 and 3 looks almost the same) to 100%.

I just tested this with minimum brightness in room without light and I still can see every step, actually in that way 1 and 2% are also visible as separate.

My sister gave me a HTC Desire 530 that use's the T-Mobile network. It has never been unlocked or rooted. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure everything out and I haven't been able to do so. Here's my setup and answers to possible questions pertaining my issue:

OS Im operating from: Linux Mint 19 Tara

Location of ADB/Fastboot - /Home/Android/Sdk/platform-tools

https://imgur.com/a/AHPcQf4 <~~~~ Link showing that fastboot devices does show my device

I tried following two or three of the threads I've found around here to unlock the bootloader, root the device, etc. Currently my phone says in HTC download mode:

*** Locked ***

htc_a16ul PVT S-ON

LK-1.0.0.0000

Radio_ xxxxxxxxxx (doesn't actually say xxxxxx)

you know the rest....I know the device isn't unlocked

I've enabled debug mode and checked the oem unlock box too... All of the pre-req's are complete. I just must be missing a key factor in this entire process...

I also tried to unlock the bootloader going through HTCDev.com, however in Terminal (before the start of identifier token) it says: (bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fry

(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0x01, enable unlock

I've tried the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token on enabling oem unlock through debug and disabling oem unlock through debug. Going through HTCdev.com gives me an error too.

I believe if i can unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, use Sunshine to switch from S-ON to S-OFF then I can switch this use to be T-Mobile device to Cricket Wireless. I can be reached at Zeromancer29@gmail.com, through XDA, through Discord @ OKen@5706....
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aibhneduin:
I purchased a Galaxy Note 8 (GT-N5110) and it has the 4.1 OS. I tried to update it OTA and said it had been modified and was ineligible. So I looked and under status it said custom not official. So I attempted to update with KIES 2 and it was stopped by a , "Invalid Magic String" error. The knox Flag was tripped already so I am sure someone at some point had installed a nonstandard firmware upgrade or attempted a root. I notes that the OTA upgrade was a 4.2 upgrade so I tried the 4.4 firmware update in case someone had previously bootstrap locked it. I was unable to update using Odin. Whenever the device is off, the charge symbol just sits there, no animation and the device does not charge. If it is on it will charge. I attempted again last night and it failed. Now all the screen does is flash with the inactive charge Icon on the screen. I cannot get to the Odin download screen or the recovery screen. All out of ideas and need a little help.

Thanks

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] hdhdhhdbs:
So I have ordered my Pocophone F1 a few days ago and found that you can install google camera on it, but the most updated one needs a certain ROM version or higher to be able to use it, so I went searching on xiaomi forums and found that, that specific rom version Global Stable ROM V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI i'snt released in my country Kindly Note- This update V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI not released to SOUTH KOREA & PORTUGUESE so this is where my questions surge...

Is there any way that this update shows up OTA, like per example, if I change my region, will it make the update show on the ota update app?

If not, can I flash it and will I still get OTA updates ?

Why is the ROM not released in my region ?

And can me getting this ROM on my phone affect anything ? Like data connection, language or apps ?

Thank you! :)
