[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraphSephiroth:
Howdy,

So, being tired of my Note Pro being slow as heck, I decided to flash one of the P905 Roms from here. I followed the instructions, but now my tablet either:

a) reaches the Setup Wizard once, then goes into a reboot loop, never to reach said Setup Wizard again (Lineage), or;

b) reaches the Setup Wizard which hangs for a few seconds, then reboots (CrDroid and Stock).

I've tried reflashing the tablet with stock firmware (as above it gets stuck). Restoring old backups hangs the tablet. Wiping and reflashing anything hasn't solved the issue. I'm kind of at a loss for what to do right now. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: I'm hoping [MENTION=2047373]Valera1978[/MENTION] has some advice. He/she seems to know what they are doing :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricosuave95:
are you clearing the cache/dalvik etc when you are flashing?

using an older version of TWRP, not the newer ones?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraphSephiroth:
Yes of course. Standard fare.

And I'm using the version of twrp linked in the OP for those roms
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alantay11:
This is extremely late but I've had the same problem as you on both pie and 10. It's not a perfect solution, but using oreo works. Going to an older version isn't ideal but it's still a huge improvement over kitkat if you want to give it a shot.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] portage:
Hi, I have Windows 10 latest version and I am trying to unlock my Redmi Note 5 running Miui 10.2.2. I am unable to get the Miui unlock tool to work:

1. I have tried saving it in my C drive and desktop but both locations fail.

2. Summary: When Miui unlock tool is closed, the phone is recognized when connected to Fastboot. The moment I open Miui unlock tool, the phone exits fastboot, is no longer recognized, and Miui unlock tool runs multiple fastboot.exe processes until closed.

3. Please see attached PDF showing my issue with images.

What can I do?
[Networking] pbrstreetgang:
Hi all. recently upgraded my vario to win mob 6 with a rom off here...XM6r5 to be exact. All runs fine except the problems i am having with the radio connection. I cannot change the band selection from auto to GSM. I think the phone thinks its 3G but i dont want that i need gprs only as the 3g signal round here is rubbish and as it is its hammering my battery life. When i try to change the band it says it cant be done right now please try later!!!?

I have manually selected O2 in the operator selection, i have the G symbol on the top bar, sometimes this becomes an E, i presume for Edge.

Anyone any ideas how i can solve this??

Thanks
[Networking] fzzyrn:
the wizard can't handle 3g, so it wouldn't think its 3g.

the G is for GPRS, and the E is for Edge. this only means that connection is available, not actually connected.

So, to answer your question, you should try the autoconfig (network wizard)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TheKopiteLad:
So I'll be getting my phone back from mi care after repair and they said everything will be wiped and the miui will be rolled back to default miui 9.6 as it was shipped. I mainly use my poco to play Pubg and the latest 10.3 miui was having a lot of bugs and the game was simply unplayable, now that I can go to 10.2 again, I just want to know if I can directly install miui 10.2.2 from the official recovery rom I found...Can I install it without unlocking the bootloader, from the mi updater settings, jumping from 8.1 oreo to miui 10.2.2? Is it completely fine or can it cause any damage? This is my first post ever and some help will be much much appreciated.
[Nokia 9 PureView Guides, News, & Discussion] Mobstergunz:
Just got this phone and the gesture navigation bugs me a lot. Google or Nokia I don't know who decided not to give us the option to disable this or revert it back to the old navigation buttons.

the goal of this guide is to get this result

[IMG="navigation bar"]https://i.imgur.com/V68Hdjw.jpg[/IMG]​

Steps:

1.) Install any 3rd-party launcher of your choice. This is a must because otherwise, you won’t have a launcher app left once we’re done with this guide. Make sure you set it as the default launcher!

2.) Connect your Nokia 9 to your PC and make sure the usb drivers are installed

3.) Set up ADB on your PC. theres a tutorial here -> https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

4.) Connect your Nokia 9 to your PC and open up a command prompt in the directory where you downloaded ADB.

5.) Enter these commands

adb devices

*Make sure you authorized the ADB connection on your Nokia 9. It should say "device" not "unauthorized" in the command prompt*

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.launcher3

This will Uninstall the Stock Launcher. This is necessary.

adb shell settings put secure system_navigation_keys_enabled 1

This will re-enable the old style navigation bar after a reboot

adb shell reboot

Now your phone will reboot and you will have the old style navigation bar on your Nokia 9. Now you can install any launcher you want, personally i chose "Rootless Launcher" from the PlayStore, but thats up to you.

I hope this helps anyone else that didn't like the changes to the Nav bar.
[Nokia 9 PureView Guides, News, & Discussion] rikbrouwer:
Nice tutorial if you wish to go back. It's a bit off topic, but I really like the new implementation. Took me a few days to figure out that opening the app drawer doesn't only require two short swipes, but instead shows right away after one long swipe all the way up. I think it's a useful feature from Google, but it's better if users can decide themselves. Now they can, well done!
[Nokia 9 PureView Guides, News, & Discussion] Mobstergunz:
I can see the functionality potential in the gestures but it just doesn't work for me. I've been using Android since Eclair and the old Nav is plain and simple. I think if the hit box for a gesture is that small or precise I'd rather see what I'm pushing as a button instead. They could've had me if the change was gradual like the transition of physical buttons to on screen touch. My point was at least give me the option you know
[Nokia 9 PureView Guides, News, & Discussion] OO7R3N7:
Hey man I have a smartwatch (android 5.1) and want to disable the touch gestures - in particular the back swipe where you swipe right from the left side of the screen. Would these commands work with that as well? Really stuck here!
[Nokia 9 PureView Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewtechhelp:
I followed these instructions when I first got my Nokia 9 PureView and they worked brilliantly. However tonight, I updated the phone to Android 10 and after the upgrade, my App Switcher button (square button on the right) stopped working. It turns out they've changed how this works in Android 10 and you actually no longer need this workaround to get 3-button navigation. So here are the steps I followed to undo this change and switch to a working 3-button navigation setup on Android 10.

Firstly I ran to restore that setting to what I assume is its default (the workaround switched it on [1] so undoing the workaround switches it off [0]:

adb shell settings put secure system_navigation_keys_enabled 0

Then I reinstalled the Quickstep launcher (thankfully you don't need to go to shady parts of the internet to find an APK for this, you can reinstall a safe version from your own phone's system image)

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.android.launcher3

Then I rebooted the phone

adb shell reboot

Finally, I was then able to goto the Settings app -> System -> Gestures -> System Navigation and switch it to 3-button navigation.

Hope that works for everyone as well as it did for me :)
[Nokia 9 PureView Guides, News, & Discussion] Mobstergunz:
I just factory reset after every version update for stability and everything came back.
[Nokia 9 PureView Guides, News, & Discussion] singularity0821:
You can get back the old buttons from settings (System->Gestures->System Navigation).

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Aleejo26:
Hello Redmi Note 5/Pro users!

I was browsing the forum looking for the available custom ROMs for our device and decided that I wanted to try Pixel Experience, so I started looking through guides to unlock BL, flash twrp and then flash a custom ROM. Thing is, I'm a little bit confused.

First of all, I've read the post about how ARB works, and I still can't find the answer that I'm looking for, or probably I still can't understand how ARB works at all. Let's say I unlock BL, boot twrp, flash twrp, and then I flash a ROM like Pixel Experience. What is the safest way to get back to MIUI? As of my understanding I will only brick my phone IF I flash an older version of MIUI, thing is, what is "older" exactly? I'm sitting on MIUI 10 V10.2.2.0.OEIMIXM right now, If I wanted to flash MIUI again should I flash any newer build (when it comes out) to the one I'm sitting now (or the same)? Also, what precautions should I take when doing so? (I've read someting about encryption that I don't understand at all).

Secondly, does this guide still work for the current MIUI version and ARB version (I'm on 4)? I've read some comments saying that the part of flashing twrp is not updated and others saying that everything still works perfectly, can someone confirm this please?

That's it for now, thanks in advance for your patience and let's keep this community awesome!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sushuguru:
1. More info abt arb 4 and 3: https://en.miui.com/thread-2340434-1-1.html

2. Basically you can flash any rom with arb 4 (not necessary newer than your current rom version)

3. Yes, this guide still works but you'll need to enter fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img on fastboot before flashing twrp, just google whyred dummy.img and you'll find it.

[MENTION=426561]Scott[/MENTION] You still on the stock kernel after unlocking everything or have you flashed a custom kernel on it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Im running stock kernel.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
Cool beans. From a technical standpoint flashing a custom kernel would still be possible right?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
100%

I just choose to run stock because I want to keep the device as close to stock as possible. I am pretty happy with this phone the way it is out the box. The only reason I rooted was to install AdAway.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] champ784:
Custom kernels can be great and all. But the stock ones are still very well optimized overall and this phone is constantly giving me 7-8 hours SOT with both custom kernels and stock. Sure, there's the argument of debloating and lightening. But I think stock provides a decent enough experience that doesn't lose out on much important stuff
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Nice work but step 2 isn't required. After giving the fastboot OEM unclock command, let it wipe as normal, then before letting it reboor, force it back to bootloader mode by holding vol up, down, and power till it reboots, then just hold power and volume down and it enters bootloader aka fastboot mode. Then give fastboot erase modemst1 and then fastboot erase modemst2. Then reboot. It is also worth mentioning msm 9.0.12 can be used now as long as u run it with the factory patched exe file from the intl conversion thread that was posted with 9.0.11.. Gets you all up to date, a bit faster. Take anonymous tipsters patched exe and copy to msm 12 directory. FYI,.every kernel and ROM for both the intl op6 and op6t work for our phone. Identical. Pixel experience by markash and treskmod actually run better on the phone than stock oos, with about 9-10 hrs sot. .. one plus dropped the ball on ram MGMT, especially with 8gbs of ram and them not utilizing it. Lastly if u stay on TMO firmware, I have a giant list of hacks I'll put together for the strictly stock users. Build prop edits that should be included to begin with.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] champ784:
Thanks for posting this! Definitely easier to have all info in one place ??
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Step two isnt required unless that is all you plan on doing is rooting. This guide just tries to link to the others guides. Just a high level overview.

Also, great idea. Great idea on creating a list of hacks. Definitely post a link to the thread when you create one.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
Just followed this. Windows 8 was being a PITA for adb and fastboot so I upgraded it to Windows 10. BUT.. once I fixed the quirks with my laptop these steps went smoothly with no hiccups. Just gotta wait the 7 days now so I can use the Swift themer and make it look the way I like. Let's see how well this works completely stock for a week. When I first got this phone I immediately switched to international so I've never been able to experience the TMO firmware.

Thanks again for sharing this!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
What is the problem?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] JodyBreeze901:
Maybe I'm seeing things.....so even though T-Mobile devices are locked (mainly because you're still paying for the device) you can still get root on the device?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
U have been able to do that, u can just bypass having to convince customer care to sim unlock it which gives you access to oem unlock which then allows u to flash twrp/ magisk and thus root...this is possible by unlocking the bootloader.

In overview..

Can sim unlock

Can unlock bootloader

Or just flash patched msm and bypass all of this

Can have dual SIM capability

Can run any software op6, op6t intl.

Can get unlock bin to legitimately and fully unlock device without needing TMobile to unlock anything.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Yep, just follow the links in the guide and you can unlock a fully locked device and root it.

Oh yeah..... I've been away for way too long.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:

Thanks for this guide. Just dropped my OP6 in my pool and need to get another phone asap. Was going to go to a TMO store tomorrow to get the 6T. If I pay for the phone in full and then follow steps 1-4 (I want root) and to leave it unlocked, will it be the same firmware/state as if I purchased from OnePlus directly?

Update: TMO is saying I need to have the phone for 60 before I can unlock it. Is that correct?

Thanks!!!

So I successfully converted my T-Mobile 6T and got TWRP but i have two questions:

1)My phone now doesn't come with any foreign language support, the characters are all square blocks.

2) Now that I've got TWRP, how can i root it? i followed the TWRP guide and all i got was recovery, not root.

any help with this (especially the language one) would help tremendously , thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] RootableHuman:
I tried that too. I drag it from the folder to the command terminal, and as I'm dragging it, a green "+" shows up on my cursor, indicating that dragging and dropping works. But when I drag it into the terminal and let go, nothing happens. No text appears, and it acts as if I never did the drag-drop. Is there a plugin I need to make this work or something? Copy/paste, drag/drop aren't having any effect at all, and manually typing in the directory (tried with and without parent directories included) always results in "no such file or directory".
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] M3RS3:
You have a Windows 10Pro or Home.. because the Pro is what I used and for me working well. and you need to use Command prompt not the Powershell.

I'm not sure what either of those have to do with Chrome os, which is what a chromebook runs on. Yes, I know it works on the vast majority of Windows computers, but I don't have access to a windows computer. Hence why I asked if anyone had figured out how to get it to work on Chromebook. Did you not read the original question all the way through?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ReverendCorncob:
Posting in the hopes of helping someone.

This still works in 2021 on the T-Mobile edition OnePlus 6T.

For me it even worked starting from Android 10 to use MsmDownloadTool V4.0_factory_patched.exe.

For some reason, I was getting a "Sahara communication error" when running the tool.

To resolve, I disconnected the phone from the USB **WITHOUT PRESSING STOP IN THE TOOL** (let it continue to run).

I then help down both volume buttons simultaneously and re-connected the USB, and the flash began to run successfully.

So, then I was at 9.0.11.

I downloaded 9.0.17 from here:

https://otafsg1.h2os.com/patch/amazone2/GLO/OnePlus6TOxygen/OnePlus6TOxygen_34.O.24_GLO_024_1909112343/OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_024_all_1909112343_d5b1905.zip

and ran the manual upgrade to install it.

Then I ran the OTA update 10.3.9 the normal (non-manual) way from the phone itself, over WiFi.

Then I successfully flashed TWRP and sideloaded Magisk to gain root without issue.

Thanks everyone!

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] n3kf:
Update: So it looks like there are privileged partitions. With a TMobile 6T, you can probably get away with running it from a carrier unlocked and getting a bootloader unlock token. However, if you want to run a non T Mobile OOS, you will need to do this method.

I came upon on of these T Mobile 6Ts. It's carrier unlocked and bootloader unlocked. I know I could put custom ROMs or the International ROM (don't you lose play store?) On it. But once it's bootloader unlocked can you also put the stock OOS on it if you want. Hard to find that info. Thanks.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
Just follow the steps to unlock it immediately.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
This is correct. The point of this guide is to link you, in the proper order, the steps to unlock sim, unlock bootloader, then root. At that point you can stay international or go back to T-Mobile.

If you go back to T-Mobile you will be bootloader locked until you follow the rest of the steps in the guide. Mainly waiting 7 days for the unlock token from OnePlus which is only needed with the T-mobile version software to unlock the bootloader.

You can also go custom once you unlock the bootloader and forget about stock all together!

The choice is yours.

If you need help have questions along the way feel free to post. Im a retired developer with not a lot to do since I retired from the ROM and mod business :cool:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] azsl1326:
Thanks. I had a bunch of stuff on my OP6 that used root and don’t really want to wait 60 days or 7 for that matter.

So, if I follow steps 1-4, then I can install a custom rom or stock OP? I was running OP Stock + xXx on the OP6.

Thanks for your help!
