[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] yozil:
Hi everyone.

I have a Nokia 8 for months, and I tried to downgrade my phone but I'm still stuck atm.

TA-1012

00WW_4_88B_SP07

Oreo 8.1 - December Security Patch

From what I understood, there isn't prepatched boot image for security patches above November, so I can't flash other firmwares...

Is there a way that I can rollback to NOUGAT by updating first to Pie ? And with april patch ? :confused:

I'm wondering if I could have Nougat one day :rolleyes:

Thank you
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] yozil:
I'll answer my own post since I managed to do it :

So I used NOST to flash NB1-303A-0-00WW-B01.nb0 (the first Nougat firmware for TA-1012) and it worked like a charm.

Sorry for the useless topic.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] sumitinhome:
lol, that escalated quickly.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] yozil:
Yeah but I juste realized what was the issue.

The past months, I've been using NOST 0.5, and it didn't worked at all (many errors...). But I just saw that the developer updated to NOST 0.6, hence why it's working :)
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] negrroo:
i should be unlocked bootloader ?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] sumitinhome:
To use NOST you need critical unlocked bootloader. you can refer to NOST thread to know how to critical unlock.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] pecholino:
why do you prefer nougat over oreo/pie?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] sumitinhome:
because battery.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] yozil:
Battery, RAM and CPU consumption.

On ALL of my devices, I compared the oldest ROM with the next one and I always get better results on an old ROM. I mean, new firmwares are for new phones and can't be adapted perfectly to old devices in order to keep the same consumption.

It's like updating apps, in most of the case, your phone will lag more and more when you update your apps.

SHAREit is the most famous file transfer app which has more than 500 Million downloads worldwide. The early versions of this app had no ads or any rubbish recommendations,but now that's not the case, now SHAREit is filled with full of ads and junk which is unnecessary and very irritating.

So I modded the SHAREit app to take rid of this ads and junk. There are lot of users who are tired of seeing this ads, if you're one of them, good news for you. So I am sharing my mod in XDA.

Note: Do not update the app from Play Store, or else ads may show up again. So disable auto update option in Play Store.

Hi... I unlocked bootloader for my (Letv Le 1s X507) through adb, and phone got bricked ( Just keeps rebooting itself ). I tried flashing various stock ROMs through SP Flash tool (Download Agent - MTKAllinone.bin) and ROM scatter file, but the progress on SP tool never goes beyond 0%.

Then I started experimenting with SP flash, I tried selecting (Download Agent - DApl.bin) and download only boot,recovery it goes successfully. The issue is with Preloader file when I download it, it gives different errors.

I'm using Win7 - 32 bit. Tried different Vcom drivers, changing port / cable / ROMs / SP versions nothing works. I'm stuck

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ron_hyatt:
hello everyone,

i know the easiest way is to download apk/obb files and save it to pc or external storage but is there another sure efficient way to backup game files instead of redownloding them every time we flash a new rom? :confused:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jackiass:
If you do as you say, and save the apk and obb file onto external storage (like the micro sd card slot you have built-in) you could just copy the obb files back to the internal storage and use something like titanium backup (also backed up to the sd-card) to restore the apk with all your saves on the ROM.

Perhaps the app "Migrate" from BaltiApps in the play store could do it in one go?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ron_hyatt:
ok but what about games that doesnt have an obb file?(i downloaded elder scroll blades and was prompted to download a 800 mb update but games obb folder is empty and that large update is scaterred in the game data folder):confused:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] santiagoruel13:
Root. Then install titanium back up pro..

I, too, had that kind of game.

SF IV Ce.. bought the game.. then told me to download additional 2.5gb of file data.. or so.

Thought there was an obb or some sort of data.. but there was none. Instead.. there is .. if you use root explorer then browse to data/data/..

So whenever i flashed a new rom. I need to re download the whole 2.5 gb data. And thats when i thought if it can be backed up by the TB... AND rest my case.. it worked.. fast and easy..

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

And when you're using TB PRO.

THERE'S an option to just restore all apps and its data at once. Sit back and wait for it to.finish.. just make sure that what you're about to restore are all installed files only and not the data of your system files..

Oh.. and.for data with the likes of NFS MW & REAL RACING 3. where there could be thousand files that are about 20-300Kb file sizes.. that could take about an hour if you copy paste it to another storage. So.to make it easier to copy/paste... I highly suggest you zip the whole nfs folder or even rear racing 3 data foler. Then copy the zipped file somewhere else.. its easier to.copy a single 2 or 3 gb data file than copying thousands of 300kb data files.. ehehehehe.. just unzip.it again in android / data folder when you're done restoring your rom
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jackiass:
Check out Migrate. It's free and works through twrp. I haven't tried it myself for games, but it works flawlessly for normal apps, so if your game is not using obb, I'd think Migrate would work just fine.

You're rightly afraid. Steer clerar of magisk. Wait for a proper rooting method, or perhaps don't root at all.

This update is already a danger (see the previous brick wave), I would wait until things calm down.

i have conjured up a simple tool for rooting the xa2 ultra. nothing special, all you do is download the zip, extract it, and run the .bat file, and follow along in the cmd prompt window. its interactive so you will have to select a few options while in recovery. its really easy. bootloader must be unlocked. make sure to read the read me files, and also follow along with the command prompt.

hope someone tries it out. i would like some opinions. im not new to computers, but im new to scripting.

any feedback would be appreciated. go to the ftp site listed below and download Also stock android 9.0 is included, its seperate from the tool. extract the zip open folder and double click newflasher.exe its all set up. just select no on the 2 options that come up before the flashing, put your device in flashmode

strange that when I unzip a 1.8GB or so zip it just ends up with 2 small files (bat and readme) (even tried pulling the constituent files out from the zip independently). Also the batch file won't run due to windows security (understand running .bat is always risky no matter how good one's intentions might be)
[Sony XA2 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] v1nd1cta_d3b3llat0tlr:
hey, thanks man, im new to this so i really apprecite it. i unzipped the 1.8gb zip, left it for download, and also left the unzipped folder and unhid everything. i left a NOTE to do explain a little better, not much, but its a little more than i am now. i changed permissions on my end, so it should be ok. as long as everything stays together in the same directory, for example the desktop,...... it doent have to be that folder, but it cant be in any other folder either, as long its all on the desktop, its good. i figure you already know that, but it makes me feel better to let you know. the .bat extracts 3 other .zip, one .zip is a usb driver and it installs it also. you can hit no, cmd will read access denied, but in this script its not considered an error, so it will continue. it will also connect to adb automatically and push 2 files, .img, .zip, to the device. if there is a problem with adb connecting, it will give notice, prompt, and when hit enter it will kill adb server and exit cmd. if everything is ok,it will boot the recovery .img automatically, given you press enter to give it permission. once in recovery it prompts instructions for the user, and a new instruction will show after every enter. well, i guess i did explain it better than i did in that NOTE.

hope i dont sound to retarded and noobish, and i hope you give it another go.

again thank you, much appreciated

During the restoring process -> error. There is un issue with the system partition.

I tried to flash the latest LOS updated stored in \data. No error during the install but the phone is still not able to boot, stuck on Google Logo.

Now, if I tried to boot in recovery mode and when I enter my password it tells me the password is wrong !

How can I access to my data ? I want at least to save what is on my sdcard..

Instead of editing .xml files, try editing the default_gain.conf file, something like this:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2777535

There are also similar and possibly better guides and mods for audio on the S2/S3/S4 devices here at XDA but I did not find them with a general search, you can find them using the XDA search box, audio is similar in all of them. Look around here on XDA about editing sound files to improve audio. Editing audio.xml is, by no means, the only way, nor is it even the best way to modify audio, I've seen mods for .soc files, .xml files, .db files and .conf files. It just depends on the device and exactly what aspects of audio you want to change.

There are also things like Viper4Android or Dolby Atmos and other similar sound mods, some of them are combinations of the various sound mods to give more variety of features and options to improve audio on various platforms. For example, the mod will be named something like Dolby Atmos+something or V4A+something or Dolby Atmos+something+something. The mods that are combinations of the others can, in some cases, on some devices, give more improvement than using only one of the mods by itself.

Hello

Yes there are other programs you can try and use: QUALCOMM / QFIL

I had a similar problem with a Lenovo Tab4 8 Plus (8704x) device and this QFIL program and the right ROM files solved the problem for me on that Lenovo tablet when it was hard bricked i.e only went into fastboot or recovery mode.

You need to find all the right version flashing files for your device before commencing, i.e you cannot downgrade a MIUI rom it has to be the same as what was / is on your device or an upgraded version. Unless your bootloader is unlocked :good:

https://en.miui.com/thread-432217-1-1.html

https://androidmtk.com/download-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil

Also maybe you can try adb fastboot program if QFIL doesnt work

https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-adb-fastboot-tools-t3887359

One last thing I remember is make sure your Xiaomi device is recognised by the computer in all modes if possible; fastboot, recovery for the ADB drivers or QFIL drivers to work properly. A pop up ballon bottom right PC screen will show if drivers are recognised and ready.

All the best with it ;)
