[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] himynameisjisoo:
I'm fairly new to using android and now wanting to delve into messing with my phone per se (In other words, I'm a noob). I haven't done so since I last jailbroke my iPhone before.

I'm really interested to wipe my phone's data and start anew and pimp my phone out, to get the most out of the Xiaomi MiA1 and essentially have the Ultimate MiA1. I've read about GCam and custom ROMs and the sorts, but there's just so much that I can't really pinpoint a path for myself. I'm interested to see what you guys have on your phone and what you can recommend to me? I know the "best" is subjective, but I do want to hear what you guys think is the "best" for you even if it isn't necessarily for everyone, it may definitely be for someone :)

I'm on Android 8.1.0 (skeptical to upgrade if it means losing flexibility) currently.

Also: I want to keep a backup of my data before wiping it up, what app can you guys recommend to do so?

Choose a pie rom for sure!

I've been using the bootleggers rom and it's great

But it's the only one I've tested
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Never_Sm1le:
you should know that all Pie roms have problem with Gcam autofocus. It can be fixed with changing aspect ratio to 16:9 but it's hit or miss (for example, doesn't work for me at all).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 4665219:
Wait what? LOS16 autofocus on Gcam works fine in my experience without doing anything. Just make sure you are using gapps since they are required (might work with microg but I haven't tested that)

EDIT: I'm guessing you meant stock Pie. Should probably edit that so that people don't misunderstand like I did.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] orma1:
I haven't tried a lot of roms, but from what I tried until now I think stock 8.1 is the best in terms of stability. (I have tried Lineageos 16 unofficial and Pixel Experience 9.0 official).

if you choose to use stock, I do not recommend to pie as stock pie works horribly for me at least. also stock pie has a lot of bugs like autofocus bug in Gcam and downgrading is not that easy.

I use Stock 8.1 November update and I'm rooted with Magisk and TWRP recovery.

for the Gcam I use the recommended Gcam 5 Arnova's v8.3b1: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk

If you want the night sight feature you need to download Gcam 6.

also in order to use Gcam you need to enable camera2 api.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] leviiis:
Hello somebody,

i am along time on xda, since samsung s2 and i am along time a best friend of root for the device.

The best opinions for me, supersu and twrp. I have root, and every time i can save a stable backup of my system with twrp. I running a very stable s8 with system-root via chainsfire supersu (chainsfire make a good work a long time). My s8 running android 7.0 and i didn't missing anything. I am big fan from samsung, so i buy a Samsung s10 (SM-G973F).

I have order the new phone from the beginning and it looks like a good phone (i am only missing the notification led from the older samsungs, but it is okay),

I Daley read the news about root and last week i also root my new phone with magisk (i would love to running twrp also, but for the s10 i know it is not stable at this time).

Now, my problems. I know with the new method of magisk, there are some problems like wlan and Bluetooth Connection. I never had this problems, because i make a full backup with samsung smart-switch and restore this with running firmware with magisk. I never run the patched firmware without root options, so i think, when i start the phone with the wrong combo, i can also have the problems.

I read, there is the libsecure_storage companion module for magisk, i have install it, but i dont understand the instruction..."after installing this modul, you may wish to edit /system/etc/......." When i really change anything on system, didn't broke me the safetynet?

Next problem, i am running on s8 airaudio with system-audio. On s10 there are only the options with microphone, so install the "air-audio" module frome magisk, but when i try to connect to my audio system, it shows me only an error, anybody have some solution?

Last of my problem, i am loving xposed and i know on magisk there are only edxposed, anybody have a good instruction how i can install edxposed on the s10?

Theres a lot of problems but i think it is not impossible to fix this. :) Sorry for my bad English, i am from germany. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] oel7:
Does someone have an XZ1C with firmware 47.2.A.10.28_R3C and working VoLTE?

I have used my unbranded XZ1C with Oreo - unlocked, and with the drm fix for firmware - for quite a long time, and VoLTE was working. My provider: German Telekom. Now I switched to Android 9, and VoLTE stopped working. Sony Mobile support tells me that in this combination (FW + Provider) VoLTE works fine. Either they made a mistake (and didn't test it for real), or it has something to do with the unlocked boot loader on this FW. I already tried another XZ1C (one with, one without TA backup), and another SIM. Maybe you could share your opinions (since there is no working twrp for XZ1C Pie, resetting, locking/unlocking and exchanging FW is more time consuming than it once was....)

Thank you all
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hedgehog90:
I've been using the stock rom on my phone for years, until after one update my wifi went incredibly choppy, so I tried rooting and LineageOS but experienced lots of other issues, so I reverted to the original stock rom.

I've stuck with 6.0 for over a year, unrooted, unspoilt, but I was constantly pestered with update notifications.

I accidentally hit 'Yes, I'm in' the other day and it downloaded the update, and the pestering went next level insane.

I'd hit dismiss and 5 seconds later - DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL THE UPDATE? It would reappear a minute later.

So I finally caved and just said yes, curious whether or not my wifi would suffer, figuring it might have been a bad update that caused my wifi issues which has since been fixed.

I installed the first update, which brought me to 6.0.1 I think, and then I installed the update to 7.0.

And then my phone died completely.

The only sign of life is when I plug it into the PC, the charging light blinks, but I don't even see a battery charging screen.

The screen has stayed black since, can't reboot into any mode.

What now?

Does it vibrate or any other indication that the phone is trying to boot? Will it charge? needs to be at least 40% to recover. USB to ADB and see if the phone is recognized on a PC. Could be hard bricked ... there is one other mode that some phones use where the screen is black and the only way to talk to it is through a flashing tool. I apologize that I cannot recall the name of that mode but considering that Lenovo developed this phone it wouldnt surprise me if it was just in that mode, waiting for a boot load update of some kind. A lenovo flash program might be worth a try.

I eventually fixed it using adb following a set of unbricking instructions on XDA.

I have a new HTC Kaiser, just come from a N95 8GB and have to use the Kaiser as my corporate phone. I am having real trouble as it locks up and freezes ... can't click the start button, texts dont open etc etc button presses take ages to register. Other times it is really fast... (I dont have lots of apps open) This is an unbranded , unlocked unit so I dont know why I am having all this trouble as I have installed nothing onto it.

What should I do ... It does seem to be a software thing, the device firmware is cd os 5.1.1620 (18215.0.4.2).

I just want it to be fast and responsive and work well as a phone... I hope i am not asking to much :)

Any suggestions would be welcome, I had a look at all the firmwares, but not sure where to start.

the bootloader is locked

I'm not in the recovery mode he always jumps back to the boot loader.

if I connect the device to the pc then it starts without turning up in the boot loader.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] edufur:
Did you try blank flash yet?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Helhound0:
Forget everything, and try to manually boot into TWRP.

Download TWRP for payton from the TWRP site (Img and Zip files for V3.2). Download and install Minimal ADB, Copy TWRP img file into the ADB install directory, put your phone into bootloader mode, connect to PC and run "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img" on the ADB commandline. The phone will boot into TWRP. You'll have to mount the storage and copy the TWRP .zip file into your phone and flash that from TWRP. Now you got TWRP flashed as the recovery.

Now it's a matter of flashing a ROM. I'm not really sure about stock firmware because i haven't flashed them before, but if you want to flash a custom ROM, make sure you flash TWRP after flashing the ROM without rebooting into system or recovery.

PS: I assumed you know how to do this with this explanation. Let me know if you need more instructions.

Have you flashed Magisk via TWRP or patching the boot image?

Because I want to keep OTA Update but patching and flashing the boot.img of the 10.2.22 above, nothing happens (the patched image is just 40MB while the original one is 130)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RedWave31:
I've only patched the boot image, and it's 40mb as well, but it's OK, everything is working normally. I believe that 90mb of that boot image is just garbage or bootloader protection.

So there's something wrong with the way I flash the patched boot image, because after reboot when I open Magisk it says that it's not installed.

This is my first phone with fastboot (had Samsung previously) but everything went smoothly.. I will retry tomorrow.

About the corrupted zip, I also have this issue. Today I updated to 10.2.22 AND unlocked bootloader, so I don't know which one of the 2 is causing it. Maybe bad zip in xiaomi servers, maybe xiaomi not giving right rom to who has bootloader unlocked.

Fix : Photo preview for individual shots weren't displayed in some cases

Settings

Fix : Screen brightness was lowered in dark mode whenever audio volume was adjusted

Fix : Fingerprint scanner couldnt be used when talkback was on

Fix : Clock flashed when fingerprint was used

Fix : Fingerprint unlock issues

The big, big fat lie and complete Xiaomi screwup

Fix : Notifications didn't appear in the notification shade if fingerprint unlock was used

>> NOPE, notifications were there, it's the ICONS that are missing you #£%*!?# developers

Fingerprint unlock is much faster

Else? You still have to use NotchTest. Just buy the pro version, and don't hesitate to transform it to a system app using titaniumbackup to avoid icons being wiped when screen off.

When you install TWRP for Fajita (6T) you use a zip file that is run from inside a TWRP boot.

Yes, but if you are rooted with Magisk, you'll need to also reflash Magisk right after from within TWRP, otherwise it will boot loop to TWRP.

Brand New Galaxy S7 Stuck In Boot Loop With Error "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock"

My Step-dad bought my mum a brand new Galaxy S7 for Christmas. He bought it through amazon but we soon realised he bought it from a seller, not Amazon official. Anyway a couple of weeks into use the phone seemingly randomly got stuck in a boot loop with the red error message described in the title.

I can get the phone into download mode and it says the Current Binary is Custom and the System Status is official. We contacted the seller and they claimed that they ordered the phone directly from Samsung, which seems doubtful given the problems. So from their instruction we sent it to a warranty repair, the repair people said that it was not covered as it had been tampered with and said all they could do was replace the motherboard at our cost ~ £150. Of course we said no and got the phone returned unchanged , thinking that we could just escalate the dispute with Amazon to get a refund.

However it is now to late to escalate the claim further (an A-Z claim I think) and so we are stuck with it. I just now tried to flash the Stock Firmware using Odin which I believe was successful, but it is still stuck in the boot loop. I'm at a bit of a loss now as I'm very much an amateur, I'm guessing I need to get it back to Official Kernel but I'm not sure how. Any help would be great.

The phone came unlocked and my suspicion is that that is the cause for all this trouble, but I really don't know. The best solution would be able to return it for a refund but I think that is out of the question now unless we took it to small-claims court? But just getting the phone back to a stable working order would be great. Sorry for the rambling, just wanted to make sure I got all the info down, any advice is seriously appreciated.

Thanks, Chip

You need to find out exactly what model it is, download and flash THAT firmware then see what happens. If you can't find this out right now the best thing to do is install TWRP with Odin and go from there.
