That worked to unlock it.

I kept getting authentication errors when trying to flash with fastboot, but I was finally able to flash the 6E TWRP recovery using SP Tool. Then I FINALLY was able to flash Magisk 20.0.

I'm still getting errors about making "Orange Status" go away though.

Thank you for your help!

Working speakers

Has anyone found any roms that have working speakers, or know of a workaround to get them working again? I end up not being able to have any sound outside of a phone call.

I'm having the speaker problem also.

I dont know fix yet...

Fun to play around with, but not for daily use

Well

i tried allot of GSI roms.

No speaker on any of them, no recieving phone call's on any of them...

Fun to play arond with, but not for daily use.

which is a bummer because the stock rom is just sh*t
[Android General] SMAAALLL BR:
I got calls on the latest version of Pixel Experience 10 GSI from LukeExpress.

but it's really boring not to have the speaker working.

I want to test Havoc3.0 and android 9 roms, any tips?

tell which one you tested

updates:

-PixelExperience 10 ExpressLuke 28-10-2019:

fluid, a more stable, speaker does not work, nfc does not work, bluetoth works, headset works, insta / face videos only plays audio, some apps do not work, is the best I have tested;

-PixelExperience 10 ExpressLuke 16-10-2019:

unstable, not registered with play protect, speaker doesn't work, headset doesn't work, crashed and couldn't test anymore;

-Havoc 3.0 latest 10-11-2019;

fluid, less stable than pixel, no gapps, nfc apparently works, no speakers;

-RRemix phhuson gapps:

it's just the ulefone boot screen

-Evolution, Havoc2..9 and RRemix 7.0.3:

bootloop

I could not download any rom hosted on GitHub, very bad server, but I am going back to Stock while not updating update for PixelXP, I could not boot any rom from android 9 and all that flashed openGapps bootloop

edit:

If you are testing and finding solutions, please give feedback.

any android pie working well?
[Android General] Extosis:
I have been working on a fix for this. I'm currently fiddling with the system.img gsi code/files to make a working fix. I'll update on this much later on.

I've tested all the roms you have as well, and I actually appreciate you writing back your feedback on the OS you've tested, I like that a lot. However, I ran into the same problems you have as well. I am currently trying to work on a fix for the speakers. The problem is, most of the GSI images have missing audio files on the system.img file that make it not play any audio through speakers. I am trying to find the right files to add to make a new system.img file with working speakers. It's a working process/progress but i'm sure i'll get there. Will update when I have found a working fix. Thanks!

Has anyone got their hands on Armor 6S? Spec-wise it is almost the same as 6, the only difference is slightly faster CPU and newer Android.

Hi

Someone have some news for ulefone Armor 7 devices ?

how to Root it?

Thx
[Android General] Spot.Zwei:
Hello, I try to root my Armor 6E, but after typing

fastboot oem unlock

OR (if the first one fails, try the second one)

fastboot flashing unlock

nothing happens.

How long does it usally takes?
[Android General] Pergmen:
After typing the command:

fastboot flashing unlock

Check the physical device. It should be waiting for a confirmation from you before it procedes.
[Android General] Spot.Zwei:
Sorry, but there is no action on the display. Only "fastboot mode" is displayed.

With very small letters.
[Android General] Pergmen:
My best guess is that the USB drivers aren't installed correctly. Run the command "fastboot devices". If it is connected properly, it should display some kind of serial number.

but the summary is the same, nothing happens.

There is no answer of the fastboot devices command.

I tried several USB-Ports w/o success.
[Android General] Spot.Zwei:
OK, new problem:

I insatlled a new version of Minimal ADB and now its works, the fastboot-command works.

Until this point:

I flashed the patched boot.img and reboot the phone. Now I get the message:

Orange State:

Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted

Your device will boot in 5 seconds

But this in a loop

I flashed the old boot.img too, but the result is the same, a bootloop with the upper message.

What can I do?

Have you tried wireless charging? If that also has issues, the on-board battery may be on its way out..
[Android General] VzockV:
Hello everyone, I have a big problem with my device, it happens that the system started to fail and after that it turned off, when I turned on it stayed in a bootloop and I can only access the fastboot, the question is that my device does not have the OEM and I never did any modifications so it doesn't have recovery either.

So far I have tried to fastboot install the boot.img and system.img but I get the error "remote: not allowed in locked state" because the bootloader is locked

Any recommendation?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] kraken77:
Hi, just a little bit of confusion here about arb. I have bought rn5 pro from someone and its miui version is 10.3.1 stable which to me is the latest version available now. My question is, is it ok if i want to miflash this device to its current version 10.3.1 with clean all tick? I want to format this phone, unlock bootloader and install custom rom. Another question is, can i install latest xiaomi.eu rom which is version 10.3.1 also? Since its the same version of my current miui. Will it be safe? My last question about arb is, so it is not safe for us to downgrade the phone because of arb is it correct? But as long as its just upgrading the firmware, its just fine? Thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MikiGry:
Upgrading is ok. For downgrading just make sure, that build you are trying to flash has exactly the same arb level as the one you are currently using
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
yes miflash will flash the rom as it left from factory. using fastboot rom and miflash to start clean is the way to go. dont need to flash this way all the time only when theres something strange in rom that cant be fixed.

yes you can install xiaomi.EU stable is 10.4 i beleive. for this you will flash in twrp.

downgrade is possible as long as the rom is the same ARB as the phone.

Step One

Turn your phone to fasboot mode

Connect your Redmi Note 5 to PC with USB

Step Two

in PC go to C:\adb\

Push shift + Right Click

select Open Command window here

In CMD write this

fastboot devices

then write

fastboot getvar anti

it should say ARB4 so you can downgrade to any ARB4 rom.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] RollingFred:
Fact: I'm new to Android flashing and things, but I learned fast this weekend (obviously not enough...)

I have a Google Pixel XL 1 (acquired from Verizon a few years back - don't shoot me, I didn't know it was a bad idea at the time...)

Anyhow:

* Unlocked bootloader (successful)

* Install platform-tools on my Mac (successful)

* Install marlin-ppr2.180905.006 (9.0.0 (PPR2.180905.006, Sep 2018) - stock) using platform-tools and flash-all.sh (successful)

* Booted - setup User, no lock screen, etc...

* Back to bootloader: fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-marlin.img

* Booted in TWRP

* Transferred twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.3.0-0.zip, Magisk-v18.1.zip and Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip

* TWRP: Install twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.3.0-0.zip. Reboot. Recovery. TWRP loads up fine (successful)

* TWRP: Install Magisk-v18.1.zip. Reboot->Power Off

* Power On. Bootloop

If I go back into Recovery/TWRP, I can run Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip and boot correctly, but without Magisk.

I've been at it for a several hours the last two days and cannot figure out if it's a TWRP/Magisk version problem, an option I missed,....

Any inputs?

Another way to look at it:

* Did anybody root a Google Pixel XL 1 (from Verizon) succesfully with Magisk? And if so, which ROM/Image/version, which TWRP version, which Magisk version? (I'm willing to try any combination)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
The latest version of magisk is 19.3, which is way more recent than 18.1

Also latest twrp for marlin is 3.3.1 (the img, try just boot it instead of flash the zip)

Give it a try
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] RollingFred:
Thanks. To note, I tried Magisk 19.3 with TWRP 3.3.0 and it bootlooped as well.

I'll try your suggestion of not flashing TWRP and see how it goes
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nsk7even:
Hi,

my Philips 48PFS8109/12 made problems for a long time already when trying to power it on: it needed several attempts to cut off the power, reconnect the power and let it try to boot, cut off the power and reconnect again, etc.

Sometimes it entered the famous boot loop, sometimes it freezed, showing the Philips logo on screen, sometimes it only enabled the Philips logo on the camera and the screen remained black.

Over time it got worse: the more and more power cycles were needed to let it successfully boot.

But now it seems to be dead forever: most of the times it remains black now, only sometimes the logo appears on screen and I didn't managed to get it to boot successfully again.

Repair costs are around 500€ and would result in different features, due to no availability of the original hardware.

I tried everything I found on the internet to try to recover it:

- Let it boot to safe mode, a) using the joystick button on the back with pressing it in every direction and directly for over a minute when connecting the power, b) using the remote control OK and power buttons for the same time

- Let it boot from a FAT USB stick containing a) the wipe data tool, b) the firmware upgrade package, either in root directory, or in an "upgrades" subdirectory

- Connect it via USB A-to-A cable, and try to connect to it via "adb" command

Nothing helped/worked.

Problem is, that I am unable to enable any developer settings, as I am unable to get it running at all.

Question to the community: is there any other possibility to rescue the device (e. g. access the Android storage without the need to power it on, any secret way to clean the internal storage via hardware access/shortcut of some contacts)?

Its such a pity, the other hardware is so excellent, its just the Android system (or what Philips degenerated it to) that prevents the system from running.

Any help greatly appreciated. :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tontonfrancky:
Hello,

I had the same problem, let me explain what I do :

- Unplug power cable. Boot to safe mode using the joystick button on the back only with down arrow (without pressing it)

- Wipe data partition

- Flash the rom

- Flash android with the last update

- reboot
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nsk7even:
Hi,

thank you for your answer. As I wrote, I already tried this in the past.

But I tried it again now and it still doesn't works. I hold the button for approx. 15 minutes, but it does not boot into safe mode. It only shows the Philips logo after some times, then goes black again. At the beginning it took long a time to first show the logo (approx. 1,5 minutes) and the logo was diplayed approx. 8 seconds, then later on the cycles got shorter and shorter. At the end, the logo was displayed for a second only.

Does s. o. knows if it is possible to just use the display? E. g. take some old Android hardware and connect it to the display only?

I don't want to throw this thing away, as the hardware is so excellent.... :cyclops:

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] nsk7even:
Hi and thanks for these informations.

This definitely is an option for me!

I already visited a certified Philips repair center and they offered me to replace the hardware which costs approx. 500 € all in all. I asked them for giving me the hardware to let me replace it on my own, but they denied it in answering that the new hardware has to be programmed, which is too complicated for an end user.

Using your informations, I will evaluate if this would be a doable approach for me.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Toengel:
Hi,

this "programming" is very easy... just putting 2 files on USB and start the TV... ;) And 500 EUR is way to much... you should get it below 300 EUR.

Hey guys, I’ve purchased a k20 pro 6/128 variant here in Trinidad and Tobago from Let’s Talk phone company which imports phones and sell it here in Trinidad and Tobago. No one else sells the device here in my country.

When I opened my phone and started using it, I saw that it was the fake global rom which was installed on it. So I came onto here to try to flash the china firmware on it, which I did. After flashing the firmware on it, i installed twrp and wiped everything, data + cache + Dalvik Cache + System, then I flashed the EU firmware on it. After successfully flashing it I flashed magisk and some modules on it, and the phone worked GREAT! Then one day while using it the phone just shut down just like that and never booted back up. It stayed on the boot screen and did nothing!

So I tried reflashing the Chinese firmware with miflash, but this time I Accidentally RELOCKED bootloader, but when I first purchased the phone, the bootloader was already UNLOCKED. Miflash successfully flashed the chinese firmware v10.3.8.0 and the phone booted. I was RELIEVED! But after using it for a while, the phone started freezing! And their was a problem with the front camera! Somehow my front camera won't open properly, it kept saying "Can't open front camera, please calibrate".

And when I press Calibrate, popup cam goes up and down 3 times in a row and says "Can't calibrate".

So I went and request to unlock the bootloader and waited 168 hours, and in that 168 hours I left the phone untouched because it kept crashing and never boot back up unless if I go into recovery and wipe data. So I left the phone untouched for a whole week! Yesterday the waiting period came to an end and FINALLY I unlocked the bootloader! When I opened back up miflash I ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED BOOTLOADER AGAIN!!!! :’( Now Mi unlock is saying that I need to wait 30 DAYS TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER BEFORE I CAN TRY TO FIX MY PHONE AGAIN! Please help me. Is there any way to flash the firmware on a locked bootloader? i dont care which firmware it is, once my phone is working again.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated!
