Hi fellas!

I have a peugeot where i fitted a custom px5 android radio. Since i have a faulty button on my steering wheel which triggers the "recent apps" function on android randomly i'm trying to disable that command via software. Is it possible? How can i do that?

It's pretty annoying and i'm already looking to change the button, but untill then i have to find a solution to this problem.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] SweetyVolty:
Hello everyone.

I can't flash any recovery via fastboot, I can only flash two recovery files one is the original twrp and second is the original op5 recovery. those cannot install the new ota.

If I try to flash any other recovery file, it enters the qualcomm boot recovery mode, white led and nothing else on phone and a qual 9008 port on pc.

What should I do? My brain kinda melted, so I might forgot to add more infos.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
The questions you need to answer:

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Do you have a custom recovery installed?

Is your storage encryped?

What's your actual rom?

What do you want to do(installing ota from android ota menu isn't working for you or why you don't use that method)?

Please give EXACT file names of the files you're trying to flash!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] SweetyVolty:
Is your bootloader unlocked? Yes, although I locked then unlocked again for trying.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? yes, I tried both

Is your storage encryped? probably no, I wiped everything but before it wasn't necessary to enter a unlock code or fingerprint etc.

What's your actual rom? It was on oreo, now I don't have a rom lol

What do you want to do(installing ota from android ota menu isn't working for you or why you don't use that method)?

Installing from Ota wasn't successful, sideload does not work, installing custom recoveries result in qualcomm boot (black screen with white led)

only twrp working is this untouched twrp but it has not able to flash the new pie.. https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus5.html

twrp from the clockworkmod not able to boot.

My intent is to flash new pie and root. I can't able to flash the pie's original beta recovery too. https://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery.img
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] SweetyVolty:
Also I can't mount vendor too I don't know if this causes the problem or not....
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Ok, so it seems you have an old Oreo stock oos rom before without vendor partition and trying to flash an pie rom and pie recovery, but still on Oreo firmware that's not possible cause newer recoveries need pie firmware which comes along with oos pie roms and you're missing the vendor partition which comes with 5.1.4.

Your starting point is the same as mentioned here https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/help/qa-help-thread-newbies-post-t3624656/post79251968

OOS 5.1.4 then you have a vendor partition, then you can install one of those stock Pie oos roms.

You can install oos 5.1.4 with stock recovery or with siankatabg's or with this one

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UlTftbe6wooAs4Fp0cjwXlOKmfQHgdfL/view?usp=drivesdk

Then you just need to follow the instructions for the stock oos or beta rom.

If you have any concerns or further questions, please feel free to ask here ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ozzmanj1:
There is an app in Google play store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arjanvlek.oxygenupdater

My question is if I can use this software to update my op6t to beta or if I'll need to use a modified msmtool?

Been a while since I've been on here to read up on what's going on here at xda. Thank you in advance
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] hartleyshc:
If your phone is currently TMobile branded, use the msm tool.

Once you've converted, just use the local update feature within the ROM to update. You can go to beta that way, and update the betas.

This app isn't really needed and won't do anything that the local update feature in the ROM won't do.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ozzmanj1:
Yeah I converted it several months ago from Tmo to op stock. Just wasn't sure if it would cause an issue with my OP6T going this route. Thank you for the info, I appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] redsmith:
As per the title, bought an unlocked G970U instead of U1 by mistake. Should I expect a Verizon splash screen greeting me in the bootloader? I don't wanna see any branding anywhere in my phone. Can I get rid of any of that flashing U1 firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Which G970U phone you have bought. If it was a Verizon branded, then their logo should greet you :) If you bought T-Mobile variant, then its logo will be present while booting the phone. Flashing is possible and it depends which carrier you have. Also don't you have the phone in hand yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] redsmith:
Yeah, the phone hasn't arrived yet. In the pictures I can see the box has no carrier logo, but I'm guessing it's Verizon because I haven't seen a Verizon branded box yet. Also, the box definitely says G970U.

I've been a Nexus/Pixel user all my flashing life, so I'm well versed in the fastboot/adb dark arts. How does this compare to Odin? There are so many new terms that I'm still trying to understand: CSC, HOME CSC, USERDATA, etc. Is there any guide I can follow to flash my incoming phone to U1 firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
The T-Mobile version is also G970U, so it can be pretty much any carrier. USERDATA file is present in carrier firmware, if you flash unlocked firmware you won't need/have this file.

Link below is for S8, but works for S10 as well. Of course you would need to use firmware files for your phone. I would also use instructions under "Flashing standard firmware" first using Standard Odin. If you get an error when staring to flash, then use (Patched) Prince Comsy's Odin.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3625817
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] redsmith:
Thanks a lot. One last question. I'm based in Mexico (we only get Exynos here), so I got a U version to get the Snapdragon CPU. Obviously I don't want any US carrier branding/blotware in the phone since I couldn't benefit whatsoever from it. What about OTA's, though? Will I get them whenever Samsung releases an update for U1? Or will that depend on my carrier? Should I update monthly using Odin? Do I have to factory reset? So many questions :silly:

The link you provided doesn't work, btw. But I've since found some other Odin guides. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I corrected the link in case you need it.

To answer OTA question: I had unlocked U1 model of S8 and when I flashed it with T-Mobile firmware then my phone got OTA from T-Mobile when they release it. I assume if you have carrier branded phone and flash it with U1(XAA) firmware then most likely your phone will get updates when Samsung releases them. You won't have to use Odin every time there is an update if you flash properly. Also, it would be advisable to flash using CSC file instead of HOME CSC, so your phone would be wiped. It is because you change firmware and want your software to be fully compatible. After flashing and you check your phone's software update and see that is shows "not compatible or something similar", then I would just suggest you to do "reset"(factory reset) from setting and after you setup your phone, that message will disappear. Also don't do any software update before flashing as you phone may get a fresher firmware than the one you might be trying to flash.

1) Check your current phone firmware

2) Download firmware you want, but if you can, get the firmware that is a previous one than the current one, so you will check to see how your phone gets OTAs :)

3) Flash using Odin

4) After that disconnect and let the phone do its thing

5) Set it up and check to see if software update section in settings don't give you any messages such as the one I outlined above, if it does, just factory reset the phone

Hi folks,

I wanted to download "CFW Vondroid Cube U35GT2 v1.2" custom ROM from Vondroid (I would provide a link, but that's disabled for new accounts. sorry). However, the signup form for that website doesn't work (reCAPTCHA fails to load) and none of the alternative signup methods are properly configured. I wanted to contact the site owners, but the reCAPTCHA is also bugged on the contact forms and their FB account didn't respond to my message.

I would really appreciate if someone who already has an account on Vondroid could download that ROM and mirror it somewhere for me.

Thanks!

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] watchoutbehindyou:
I'm not able to run any non-MIUI rom (LOS or AOSP - it doesn't matter). I have TWRP 3.3.0.0 and latest MIUI firmware installed, When I'm flashing the rom (rom+gapps to be precise), the process finishes successfully but I'm stuck on ROM boot animation forever. What could go wrong?

Edit: I'm wiping data+system+cache of course.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] malimukk:
You need to pick the "format" option and wipe complete internal storage

Your issue is due to encryption which was done by the miui rom
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] watchoutbehindyou:
Yes, I did it. I did the format option when you have to type "yes". Process of flashing goes fine but rom is stuck on the boot animation for 7-8 minutes (maybe more). It looks like that encryption is the problem because MIUI roms are loading fine, but I wiped literally EVERYTHING, with format internal storage included.

Maybe I should try with different TWRP?

I'm a little afraid to go for the older version because I've already flashed 3.3.0.0...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] malimukk:
The TWRP version should be fine. Then another potential issue at this moment would be if you are flashing on the latest version of MIUI. Or more precisely, the latest firmware and vendor version..

Perhaps you can try to flash the firmware from MIUI 9.2.28 Developer version. Then Format and install a custom rom.

Good luck!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kleinholzinferno:
Try the earlier Miui versions eg. 9.3.28. The latest caused mine to show the bootlogo indefinitely!

I'm stuck. I've been through dcd 3.1.x and 3.27 only to find out no sound and then I tried to do 3.37 and 3.0.4 verizon and no go. Phone app says "Initial Programming Required". Can't dial *228, when I do a guy comes on and says it's an invalid code or number "error number 7". Oddly enough I can receive calls and sms messages.

Is this a simple problem with an a-key? When I went to stock after the failed 3.1.1 and 3.27 radio, I got a woman saying I had an auth error and to dial #8899. Called vzw and they gave me an a-key which fixed incoming and outgoing calls.

Sounds like an a-key.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] rossarnie:
How do the 2 slots change things when I want to root the phone or install a custom ROM etc.? Please explain for a reasonably intelligent but ignorant person. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
Old android had

Recovery

Boot

System

To install a ota you had to boot from recovery to update boot and system.

A/B has

Boot A

Boot B

System A

System B

To install a ota you just write to the "other" slot then reboot to that slot.

A/B is safer. An update can fail to install and you just avoid reboot. Nothing breaks. In theory you can "change slot" after reboot too (but that doesn't always work because /data is shared).

A/B is "faster". Just reboot. No need to wait for boot and system to be written. (It still takes time but it can happen while you use the phone).

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

No change for rooting (Magisk).

OTA process for Magisk requires extra steps (install Magisk to other boot after OTA has been written).

TWRP lives on boot so you have to add it to the "correct" one (install just writes to both).

OTA for TWRP has similar problem to Magisk.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Custom rom is normally just system and boot.

Install is normally:

Flash new system and boot to other slot. Change active slot. Reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] rossarnie:
Thank you for your explanation.

Changing the active slot and booting to the other slot can only be done using a command prompt from the PC, right?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
TWRP can apparently do it. Fastboot can get/set the active slot.

WIth 2 slots, does this mean that we could dual boot - just change which slot to boot into with TWRP?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] maybeme2:
Thank you for the excellent explanation. It's been confusing to me too and your explanation was very clear.

The 2 boot slots has caused bootloops for a number of people (unaware of its existence) and using Magisk to patch their Moto G7 boot.img without twrp:

because one of the slots came empty from factory.

Since you are obviously very knowledgeable with android may I ask a couple of clarifications?

Please elaborate. What do you mean exactly?

Is there a problem with writing to both slots?

What do you mean?

Actually is there a way to add a system update without losing root?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
The OTA process is roughly:

1) download patch

2) check /boot and /system are unmodified

3) copy current /boot and /system to the other slot

4) apply update to the other slot

5) reboot to other slot

Magisk modifies /boot so you need to remove it before OTA can get past step 2. But if you want to keep Magisk you need to modify the other /boot between step 4 and 5.

No. TWRP install can't tell which slot is current I think? so it installs to both slots.

TWRP lives on boot so you need to remove it before step 2 and put it back after step 4.

If you just use Magisk and follow the procedure, you can ota and keep root. Magisk makes a backup of /boot so you can restore it before step 2 and install to the other slot between steps 4 and 5.

If you have twrp, you need it gone to do an ota and can install it again after ota. There are no automatic steps for this that I know about.

The way I installed Magisk and twrp makes it harder because the Magisk backup has twrp in it. I wrote up a guide where you use fastboot to restore /boot before ota, then Magisk install before step 5 and reinstall twrp after step 5.
