One Question Its a Fully Stable To Work With miui global rom without any encryption.. and with miui incremental updates..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Doomsday101:
I haven't tested it myself but I would appreciate it if you or someone else would like to test it out ))
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] diamantik:
Hello , the recovery works flawlessly , thanks for your work , loving the themes :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antarix:
doesn't stick on my device. have to flash recovery again and again
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] njaya95:
I installed it over fresh flash of latest MIUI Global Stable 10.3 fastboot, boots properly and everything is working so far. Will add more details once I test more.

Edit : I installed the MIUI eu rom over this recovery, works good, no hiccups so far. People facing the 'Stuck at Boot Logo' try erasing userdata in fastboot and then flash.

P.S. : I didn't flash the patched vbmeta mentioned by OP but still it's functioning well no problems.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

Working for me, try wiping userdata via fastboot and if possible try flashing over a clean, fastboot flashed MIUI.

Lucky patcher? What for...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CHETAN9:
Thanks for the link actually it is totally different from note 5 pro I used the device earlier
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Naveenthemi:
Np :)....yep this was custom built for Violet...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CHETAN9:
Sir one more thing if I wanna roll back to miui 10.3.7 what is actually the procedure thanx for sharing time and knowledge
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Naveenthemi:
You are currently on 10.3.9? Clean flash it (format all the files on the phone and then clean flash it), make sure the OS is erased before you flash since if u try flashing a lower version while having a newer version an anti roll back protection will brick your device causing you to take it to the service centre..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CHETAN9:
Not yet on 10.3.9 received phone on 10.3.7 and no new updates till date using phone from 21 June this year
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Naveenthemi:
10.3.9 was reverted since it had many issues.. 10.3.7 is perfect and there's no newer version as of now..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CHETAN9:
Thanks but one more query sir

What is wrappedkey version of rom how is it differ from simple rom and caf rom ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Naveenthemi:
CAF roms are optimized for Snapdragon Devices while simple ROMs aren't, wrapedkey ROMs support the encryption/decryption of your device hence they work well with Peter's TWRP and refuse to work with the official TWRP..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CHETAN9:
What about pbrp recovery and for my knowledge which recovery is best for every kind of rom for voilet, moreover why is encrypted in every mi device automatically how to get rid of it forever
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Naveenthemi:
MIUI has encryption by default by using Peter's TWRP you can decrypt it and use it normally...it can't be disabled unless you flash fcrypt disabler for custom ROMS...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CHETAN9:
Installed Peter's twrp and then was unable to reboot on car edition of pixel experience tried two three times but all in vain

Then I reflashed Peter's twrp from my desktop and tried again this time booted successfully now every time I go to any new ROM I have to do the same like m gonna stuck on Redmi logo ? Please guide as I am noob to the world of customisation
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mayank06199:
i think he meant lazyflasher...:D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CHETAN9:
I am on Peter's twrp how can I go to pbrp any idea I tried to flash it by Peter's twrp but not booted help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Naveenthemi:
Does it boot into the OS now? The reason TWRP didn't install is because you probably tried to install Peter's version from the official version you were running...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Akash Raj0123:
Can anyone could tell how to update the miui ota update with custom recovery
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ne0t:
I read that PBR support CAF-based wrappedkey encryption properly (decryption) so I'm a little bit confuse why do we need to format data partition (as stated in the OP)?

My RN7p is encrypted with lock screen password and the ROM is official MIUI 10.3.12.0, I like to keep the encryption and I like to keep using official MIUI ROM, so can I flash this recovery ?

Currently I'm using Peter's TWRP which support decryption, but problem is with every reboot it get replaced with stock recovery, and all changes I made (such as replacing hosts file) is gone, I even tried root the phone using Magisk but the phone keep rebooting to TWRP recovery.

last OP update is 2019-05-09, and the newest PBR for RN7p is PitchBlack-violet-2.9.0-20190724-2245-OFFICIAL.zip, can't find infos on this newest release..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] adriansticoid0312:
OP isn't the one who built the 0724 build.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ne0t:
Ok, so does anyone tried PitchBlack-violet-2.9.0-20190724-2245-OFFICIAL.zip ?

should be better then official TWRP for Violet since it stated that it supports CAF-based wrappedkey encryption properly (decryption)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] adriansticoid0312:
Many did. But it has some problems. Use Peter's 3.3.1-6 instead
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] JZ™:
I followed every single steps in this video. As i reboot to recovery again somehow its the stock recovery present.....!!

Help me OP:eek:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Naveenthemi:
This TWRP is practically dead. Use Peter's.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ne0t:
If your goal is to keep TWRP from getting replaced by stock recovery (and you are on official MIUI ROM), than flash 'recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0530-REDMI_NOTE7PRO-CN-wzsx150.img' via TWRP or fastboot, then boot to this recovery and enter Advance menu, Disable Force-encryption option, and select only DISABLE DM-VERITY.

Don't bother trying Peter TWRP, it doesn't has this feature (been there, done that).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] JZ™:
Wow. Great sure will try as you said. Thanks to you brother

Hello.

Hi have an HTC Kaiser bought to Vodafone - Portugal and after I hardSPL and change to a cooked rom I can't use/activate the front camera and also make video calls. I've tried a lot of cooked roms, original vodafone UK rom, a lot of radios and it simply don't work. When I start the camera and go to the definitions for example to take a photo, the option to change it's activated.

In video calls the 3g symbol it's activated but I called to Vodafone and they say that my number it's connected to 3g network. I tried in other phone and the 3g (video calls) works fine, so that isn´t a sim problem.

At the moment I've the Duttys rom and the radio 1.64.08.21.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] pmechtler1:
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience or any ideas to resolve this issue I am having with my new Gome U7.

While using the phone, I constantly get popups saying I should add Iris for security. And when I actually scan my Iris and have it saved in the system, I get a different popup saying Iris is already inputted (no picture of this, sorry).

I am trying to find a way to disable this. I searched through the system.img and couldn't find any apks or anything remotely named "iris".

I am attaching a screenshot of the log of what happens in the system during these popups.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] pmechtler1:
Update: I flashed phone back to stock Chinese ROM (GomeOS 2.0) and I get the popups even there. I also tried flashing into the ROM that comes with the phone and the problem still persists.

Is there a possibility that I am not flashing/erasing all of the data on the phone and there is something that still persists? I am using SPtools and when I input the scatter file, I make sure all the files are checked. I then flash TWRP boot.img and recovery.img successfully (and root the phone), but again, same popup comes up in android.
[General Questions and Answers] DelphinusMinor:
Can you disable the iris scan option after you input it? From this vid it looks like you can.

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] optimummind:
This is my 3rd Google phone and I was shocked by how Google managed the phone launch this time around. I got the phone just 2 days after ordering it on launch day.

As for the Pixel 3a, I'm loving it so far for its size, weight, easy one-hand use, battery life, lean software, and great camera.

I still like my Samsung S10+ better though.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] JoeSchmoe007:
Aha! Someone with both S10+ and Pixel 3a! Do you intend to keep both?

I am still on original Moto X (How do you know your phone is old? When Chrome browser says it will no longer be updated for this OS version. Happened a couple months ago.) I was really looking forward to get S10e but decided to wait to see if there are any problems. I am really glad I did! Problems with LTE connectivity (as in lack of) mostly on Sprint (70 pages long thread on Samsung forum and similar on Sprint), overheating, Bluetooth issues, proximity sensor not working right and keeps phone up in the pocket. Have you experienced any of those on your S10+?

I looked at Pixel 3 and it was not much better (call quality issues, BT issues, flickering display). Decided to wait for Pixel 3a.

I am just really frustrated that I have pay a lot of money and deal with issues. My 5 year old phone doesn't have any except, well, being old.

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] totib38:
Can you describe your usage with the phone ?

I'm really impressed by your comment ?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
Sure

Bunch of discord, checking xda, emails, some music using a bt headset. Brightness kind of all over the place depending on the areas lighting, played a few games, some YouTube, some Reddit, some imgur, browsing the play store, browsing fdroid, telegram. I've attached what I consider to be the final s.o.t for the phone as I'm going to plug it in now. I did notice the battery stats are missing a bunch of apps that ran, so not sure what's up with that.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] wpscully:
It's Nice

I have a Samsung S9 as my daily phone. Google delivered the Pixel 3a is two business days, which was quick.

I bought the Google fabric case for the phone. But even without the case the 3a is the first phone I've held in a couple of years which felt "secure". Put another way, every time I handle my Samsung S9 without it's case I am scared I'll drop it, because of the extraordinarily slippery glass. The Pixel 3a feels like I won't drop it. I'm not even sure careful people need a case.

One last thing: Some of the reviews say the phone feels cheap because it's plastic and not aluminum and glass, With a case on the 3a phone no one can tell what the case is made of, or if the rear of the phone is fancy glass. I much prefer a robust phone. Because, you know, when it's all said and done, if you shatter your S9 screen, what you have is $1000 of junk.

So I'm liking this Pixel so far... . :) And bonus points: It has a headphone jack again!

YES!!
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] optimummind:
Yes, I intend to keep both. Before getting the Pixel 3a, my secondary daily phone was the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. I like having at least 2 lines on 2 phones. [emoji4]

As for my S10+ and my wifey's S10e, which are the launch day pre-ordered Unlocked models with Sprint SIM cards inside, we've experienced no problems at all - no LTE, no Bluetooth, no overheating issues. They're awesome phones.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
Totally agree about the secure feeling in hand! I'm planning on skinning the back and not using a case. Especially after the teardown video I saw. Not especially worried carrying it naked. First naked phone in years. Feels so nice
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
i may go with what i did for my nexus 5x. dbrand skin, and a bumper around the edges. with any luck i will find a metal one. nice and slim and offers great protection
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] totib38:
It seems no bad at all ?

Did you root your phone ? Or just with stock features ?

Don't you use social app like Facebook or Whatsapp ? (This apps drain so much battery).

And how long did it take to recharge the phone with the 18wa ?

Because it's a small battery so I guess it's maybe around 1h ?

I also heard that the haptic motor was the same as the pixel 3, can you confirm that?

I'm really considering sold my OnePlus 6t and try this pixel 3a ?

I tried the pixel 3 several months ago but the battery life disappointed me so much. It's the critical point for me.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
It's rooted but that was mostly so I can remove ads and theme stuff. I did disable stuff I don't use but it was all stuff that didn't need root to disable. I don't Facebook, or Whatsapp. I didn't use the charger, I used the one that came with my Nexus 5x. But it only took about an hour to charge. I left it alone while charging to see how fast it could go
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] totib38:
Thanks for your answer.

The last interrogation is how is the standby time during the day ?

Did you install a mod with magisk to upgrade this ?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
For me it got most of it's standby time at night, I didn't really look at what it was at before I went to sleep nor when I woke up so not sure how much it went down. As for Magisk mods I have the substratum mod, an emoji replacer mod, and the fdroid mod.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] totib38:
Ok thanks a lot for your share ?

I'm going to command the pixel 3a this afternoon.

You convinced me ?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Gotta agree with the part about durability. I've always thought it was silly that they put fragile materials on our phones to make them look nice and then we talk about how pretty there are followed by promptly throwing a case on them to keep them from breaking which in turn means you can no longer see that fancy fragile material. Or you can go naked and handle it like it's literally made of glass to keep what is really nothing but a tool that should beable to survive the day to day without shattering.. That doesn't make me feel too bright either. Right now my phone is sitting right next to me stark naked and my total care equals zero. It's like getting home and taking off your stupid tie and putting on your slacker shorts except skipping the wearing a tie part. I'm really hoping this starts a trend.

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Rage1ofakind:
Looool loved that reply ??

Waiting room = waiting and gaining info ?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Well not actually. I think that's why there are threads with titles that give the info you are seeking such as Wellbeing. Most people looking for info on root, DW, screen protector recommendations and standby time will not click on the waiting room thread. But nonetheless, it seems like this thread is at least back on track somewhat. And I chilled out.. sort of. lol

And with that being said, status has been updated to Thursday delivery by end of day. I guess if you ordered at the launch you had it in a day or so. I have a feeling they were inundated with orders and just got backed up. From order to delivery for me was 6 days.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
The well being thing goes back to the start on the flagships when people were trying to reduce processes to prevent redraws, most don't use it so it was an obvious target. Something that has been going around on these devices is that it's "proven" to make a real or significant difference. This isn't exactly true; even from back then results were mixed and I think you're going to find that to be the case now after enough people report back. I didn't notice any difference then or now, phone ran the same before and after. I'm not sure why this is other than a guess that its efficacy might be tied into the installed app payload.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] tokuzumi:
Ordered mine yesterday (bought unlocked variant from Google store), and getting it tomorrow. I am supposed to get a $252 credit for an old 16GB iPhone 6 that I got for free a few years back, so it was a no-brainer for me to purchase.

The ultra thin TPU case I ordered from Amazon is even arriving sooner than expected. Wasn't supposed to get it until late next week, but it's been bumped to this Friday.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Wdenton:
Hi all, just took the plunge from Bestbuy and it should be arriving within two days (unlocked, activate later variant).

Coming from Sony Xperia X "Performance", which is showing its age VERY fast recently with its reduced SOT and choppiness. One reason I held onto it is because it supported tethering right out the box, hoping the 3a does as well after rooting.
