[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] :
Here are my 2 rupees :laugh: and a bit of a rant which I hope clears your doubts:

I used A1 and currently using A2 with buyer's remorse (should have bought Nokia). I got both these devices for the clean Android experience and it is not turning out to be the case. A2 now has MIUI like "about phone" setting at the top in settings. There is no clear rules on how Google decides which phone will become an Android One phone. I am starting to think that this Android one project is just for the name sake, I don't see any google's direct involvement in this project, we can argue that google makes the builds and vendors just add their features but again doesn't every other manufacturer does that like Samsung and LG, they take the AOSP builds and tweak them as per their requirements (correct me if I am wrong). Monthly security patches are mandatory by google but not every manufacturer follows it. To sum it up Android One is no longer that essential or a distinctive "feature", it is a package that gives you monthly security updates and new version upgrades.

This "A" series now seems to be an upper mid-range or lower high-end one and with A2's price and chipset, it is clear that Xiaomi is starting to charge a bit of a premium (cameras are really average), so why not also wait for Google's new Pixel lite? The price will be higher but you will have developers support like anything else. A2 doesn't even have an official twrp and the developer support seems scarce to say the least. On that note, if you want custom ROM support, wait a few months after the launch, if lot of people buy it then developers will support it, A2 got shadowed by Poco (Xiaomi gave F1s to developers for free to develop ROMs for it.). A1's development got gradually better over time because it didn't had any incident like that.

The current problems with A2: Slow emmc, No camera2api support (Even nokia's, cheaper than A2, 6.1 plus has it), mono audio recording, no arcore, low headphone volume like really low, Xiaomi's freedom of changing UI interface (Android One's ambiguity), average cameras, proximity sensor, smaller battery.

If every problem is fixed in A3 i'll also buy it, heck even if they kept the same cameras and enabled cam2 api it'll be enough to give me freedom to use other camera apps like google's tweaked camera or manual camera for better utilization of camera. If they fix everything I'll also get A3 if they don't i'll look for other options and certainly not buy A2 right now
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
it's not just half year, realistically you can probly find the a3 for sale at a decent price only in autumn. a1 launched in september 2017, a2 launched late summer, they both had normal pricing and availability just in late late autumn more like holiday season. as others pointed out, the a2-s worse nightmare was nokia and the poco f1. chances are a3 will face the same fierce competition in the form of the future f2 and whatever nokia has to say.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ond96:
actually this is a good point, the best that would convince me that waiting is not worth it

A2 128GB (which i have bought currently, cuz no SD slot) was at good price about a month before christmas.

so yeah, i would actually wait almost a year
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moon Tzu:
Hello. I am having some serious trouble with my mother's G620S, which had recently started to "restart" itself out of nowhere, almost once every 1 minute. Putting restart between marks because it didn't restart completely, basically it just showed the Huawei logo like the phone was shutting off and then returned to the lock screen, closing all apps. Battery didn't seem to be overheating so I didn't think that was the problem, so I decided to opt for a factory reset; but now the phone won't even go past boot (it has two loading screens when turning on: one that reads Huawei Ascend G620S and one that simply has the Huawei logo, and it gets stuck on the first one). What to do now? I can still access fastboot. I am very aware that this phone is old and that I should buy a new one but I don't have the money and this phone worked pretty well for my mom, so please, if you could give me some help I would be very thankful. Have a nice day, if you need more info I will give it to you. I only know that the Android version is 4.4, phone is non-rooted, and I was using a micro SD as "main" storage. I don't believe the latter created any problem although I removed it before factory resetting.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RockstarLover:
Hey guys. Iam trying 1 week to get Havoc Oreo.

I used this https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygenos-9-0-ota-for-the-oneplus-6.909533/ to get base Oreo Rom on my OP6. This works.

But when i want to flash Havoc Oreo (Havoc-OS-20180904-enchilada-Official.zip) via TWRP (twrp-installer-enchilada-3.2.2-0.zip only this Version works for me) i get a loop in fastboot.

Can someone help me pls?

My instruction:

1. Flash downgrade

2. Go fastboot, boot TWRP

3. Flash TWRP via ADB SIDELOAD

4. Restart to recovery

5. Flash Havoc Oreo via ADB SIDELOAD

6. Restart

7. Bootloop Fastboot mode

thanks for any help.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jdgesmlls:
OK, so I am not sure what exists in the OnePlus forums but lets start with:

1. You are aware there are two sets of partitions on this device correct? If not, please read here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-noobs-guide-to-b-partitions-op6-t3816123

2. What are you running now?

3. You need to update your TWRP to blu_spark but I am not sure if the latest (v9.91) works with Oreo... I know that v9.86 works with Oreo for sure. Read and download from here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-t3800965

4. Get the appropriate OOS zip file from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

Specifically OOS 5.1.11: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903980680

The basic steps should be like this (all assumes you have and unlocked bootloader):

1. If you are running OOS 5.1.11, reboot to fastboot

2. Boot blu_spark TWRP.img - fastboot boot twrp.xxx.img

3. Flash OOS 5.1.11

4. Flash blu_spark TWRP.zip to get it on both slots

5. Reboot to RECOVERY

6. Flash OOS 5.1.11

7. Flash blu_spark TWRP.zip

8. Factory reset in TWRP

9. Flash Havoc Oreo zip

10. Flash blu_spark TWRP.zip

11. Reboot to RECOVERY

12. Flash GApps

13. Flash Magisk (optional if you want root)

14. Flash no-verity if you plan to run unencrypted. (optional)

My advice is to READ READ READ before going forward with anything. The A/B partition layout is far from the traditional days of a single partition layout with a recovery partition. Educate yourself or risk bricking your device and opening up a whole different set of problems.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RockstarLover:
i do this by step by step but now iam bricked. after all it want restart but it glows only the blue led
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jdgesmlls:
It does sound like you READ READ READ before proceeding... My steps were not intended as a step-by-step guide, which is why I said the steps "should look like this". You didn't answer any of my questions, so I have no idea where you started from or where things went wrong to get you into this state...

Can you get into fastboot mode?

If so, try this thread first: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665

The fastboot restore method will ONLY work if you know which OOS you were running before you got bricked...

If you can't restore from fastboot images, try this thread: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892

I cannot stress enough, you MUST read all the steps and understand what you are doing before doing anything. If you have any questions, ASK before proceeding... Good luck.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RockstarLover:
thank u for ur help. i used the second method because the first didnt worked and now iam unbricked. :)

I know it

Now iam running Oxygen OS 5.1.5 Android 8.1.0 and Device State is locked

Is this normal that in fastboot shows this bootloader and baseband empty ?

productname - xxx

variant -sdm ufs

bootloader version -

baseband version -

serialnumber - xxxxxxx

secure boot - yes

I want to try again to get havoc oreo. i will w8 for ur response.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jdgesmlls:
You are back up and running, good work! Congrats!

When you say the device is 'locked', you mean the bootloader is locked again? It shows 'Locked' in fastboot? Obviously you need to unlock the bootloader again before proceeding if this is the case...

And 'Yes', it is normal for 'bootloader version' and 'baseband' to be blank. It shows the same on my device anyway, and I can flash custom ROMs with no issues, and everything works.

At this point, you should be able to follow the steps in my post, making sure you first unlock the bootloader (which will wipe all of your data). You might want to format data (not just wipe as well) to start fresh. I would also confirm that there are no issues running Havoc Oreo with encryption (I'd recommend asking the question in the Havoc OnePlus telegram channel, https://t.me/havoconeplus). After people ask to "Why are you running Oreo?!?!", you just might get an answer... I dumped being encrypted after about a week of having this device because it made moving between ROMs more difficult.

In step 14, I mention the no-verity file to remove force encryption. I have attached it to this post. Again, you may want to have /data encrypted (necessity, personal preference etc.) so this isn't mandatory but I found it made flashing different ROM's much easier (personal preference really).
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RockstarLover:
do u know where u find the havoc oreo rom now ? they changed their download directory. and the overview is confusing me.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jdgesmlls:
Looks like they removed Oreo builds, you might be out of luck. Check out XenonHD 8.1 thread if your set on running Oreo, was updated to Dec. Security patch.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RockstarLover:
hey brother. i have good news. i just want download again havoc oreo cause i deleted the old zip. i had thought maybe the oreo havoc zip was faulty. now i restored it with a restore tool. i tried again and now it works.

IAM ON HAVOC OREO :). It starts but now i got a message.

"Android System

A vendor image mismatch has been detected. Typically this means your vendor image is out of date.Please ensure your vendor image matches OPM1.171019.011."

what is this now :D
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jdgesmlls:
Did you flash OOS 5.1.11 on both slots? I know you said you were on OOS 5.1.5 when you did the MSM tool restore.

Unsure if the Havoc build you are running requires a certain FW. Usually the devs update the blobs on customer ROMs based on the latest releases of OOS. In this case, 5.1.11 was the last version of OOS Oreo.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RockstarLover:
i was on 5.1.5 and flashed 5.1.11 on both slots and then i flashed havoc rom
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jdgesmlls:
I'd recommend just going to Pie. I haven't run Havoc in over a month but the latest AEX is solid and battery life is excellent. The Pie ROMs have stabilized significantly in the last month.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RockstarLover:
i just flashed the latest havoc rom now. Really really thanks brother. ur a good boy.

have a good year

Hi

I wonder if someone can help me. I have Samsung SM-J600FN which is FRP locked ( I did try various methods of bypassing frp but no joy), I cannot put the phone in to download mode to flush stock rom using Odin (possibly faulty usb socket or/and usb debugging off)

I can only put it in the recovery mode. I am hoping to put OTA file on to sd card and update/flash from there.

Could someone point me where I could get a copy of OTA file?

TIA

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Wildstar34:
I've had the phone for a while now, and I've never had any trouble with the DAC. I use 60 ohm headphones and notice the difference greatly between the DAC on and off. But just yesterday I go to listen to music and notice that the sound is super quiet with lots of static when I enable the DAC, and normal volume slightly shifted left when I disable the DAC. Anyone know what's going on? Did I fry my amp somehow? I haven't submerged in water or anything. Could a minor phone drop cause this? Any pointers or tips would help. I tried cleaning the headphone jack with isopropyl alcohol when the phone was off, but that didn't help. When the DAC is enabled I still hear audio, but it's very quiet and highly distorted when I turn up the volume. Disabling the HIFI setting results in normal volume but favoring the left earbud. Earbuds are good because I tested them with my old V30. Restart didn't help. Is my phone just gassed or can I remedy this? Thanks for any help.

Hey

I been using p20 pro 6/128gb for one month.

I am thinking if there is updated custom kernel for stock rom official that is updating every month or two it doesnt matter but to be updating at least 5 months to be new.

Is there any?

I did a searxh here and found 2 custom kernel

Also i know i think actually that is not that easy to build a custom kernel on Huawei devices wirh Kirin .is this true?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Chief Sam:
The only thing that i could flash with my twrp are magisk modules and custom kernel updates.

Hello,

I have Android 8.1 and b137, Still waiting for Pie update and hope Huawei had already fix that issue.

Let's talk about that issue. I use a lot the manual mode then manual focus for streetphotography. The big advantage is you do not need to wait focus working to take picture.

When I set focus in pro mode manual and that I take picture, it's sharp. But... when i check and watch the picture i taken in gallery (to check if picture was ok) and that i go back to camera, i take a new picture, the camera is already out of focus.. It happen same thing when phone stand by (or I press off) and when message "tap screen to reactiate camera" appear... I must always repeat focus settings operations...

Seem p20 pro keep in memory all settings (Iso, speed, etc...) but not the focus unfortunatelly.

I even made a video:

Hello all. Just like the topic asks, has anyone had luck flashing GSIs on moto Sanders?

I tried several times with PHH's android 9 aosp builds with a couple different ROMs for the vendor and have had zero luck. Soft brick every time, with or without flashing magisk.

So, if you've had any luck, please post your results. There's several that I'd like to try, but am tired of beating my head off the wall with failed attempts, lol.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] alissonlauffer:
Pie GSIs? them work if you use an Oreo vendor (SacredOS Treble) and some fixes.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] mad_fitter:
Where are the vendor files posted? I haven't seen any separate vendor files for flashing to the vendor partition (is it a vendor image, or a prepared zip?) . And what kind of fixes?

Not trying to avoid any work, I just haven't seen anyone talking about it for our device. Also, are we an A or A/B device?

Ha ha, sorry if I sound like a demanding noob here. I would like to figure out a way to make the process as simple as possible, and would love to use a pure AOSP image (like phh's) and trust them as a daily driver. But as I said before, I lack the proper information and haven't seen anyone talking about it for this particular device.
