[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] NotOverHere:
I've found in 3 Mi A2 phones (mine, gf and family member) the bootloop is actually easy to overcome pretty quickly by waiting. I got the bootloop with all of them when they updated to two updates from what they came with no bootloader unlocked or flashing.

In each case I plugged the phone in, and left it rapidly turning on and off. Make sure to watch the phone, it will possibly come up with an error screen a couple of times so just press to continue trying to boot (also a glitched screen maybe that says fastboot with no options, press the volume control and the option to continue appears again). After a minute or two the phone will get to the normal charging screen, at that point the bootloop is fixed just hold power button until it starts.

Longest I had to wait was coming up to 2m, one time less than 30s.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] mariosenta:
Yeah, A2 have A/B partition and if update is faulty and the phone ends in bootloop, after a few failed boots, it will boot from other partition.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Smtih:
I think something along these lines is how i managed to get into the phone the first time and enable oem unlocking.

After a lot of playing around I was able to get the phone to boot by flashing the latest Oreo image (9.6.16)

After that tried going to a pie image again from fast-boot image (10.0.8) and once again ended up in a boot loop.

Lastly I flashed a fast-boot image of the latest ota (10.0.10) and managed to boot in.

So phone is at least all working now. Thanks for everyones help. Just hope the next ota doesn't bootloop the phone again.

[MENTION=6377497]NotOverHere[/MENTION]: When the phone finally does boot up, do you find it's stable and reboots are fine after that?

Ahmed, you have to realize that everyone uses their phone differently. Different screen brightness, different apps, different cellular connectivity strength, GPS apps, games, ambient temperature...

Many many things have an effect on SOT and battery.

You simply have to try each rom and each kernel and see what works best for you.

I want to ask, I have a Xiaomi Mi 5. I have a problem with the battery, and it won't turn on about 2 years ago, then the next year I installed a new battery, at that time I still used MIUI 9 ROM, when MIUI 10 was launched, I also updated my mi 5, but, a few months ago, my Mi 5 could not read the SIM card. the first slot was not detected at all, while the second slot was stuck on 'no signal', I tried to install a custom ROM,(Syberia OS) just making the first slot 'no signal' from not being detected at all, anyone had a solution? Is this because I changed the battery? I hope for helpful help from all of you, thank you [emoji119]

[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] KingSpammerNerd:
Hi everyone, I recently decided to root my One Power XT1942-2 using Magisk. However, I'm stuck on the first step of unlocking the bootloader. The guides I've seen on this forum have basically been the following simple steps:

1. fastboot oem get_unlock_data

2. Take the unlock code, edit it into a single string, and send it to Motorola using their website.

3. Take the unlock code and run: fastboot oem unlock [unlock code]

Now, I haven't even been able to run the first command as fastboot just hangs. I rebooted into fastboot mode and verified that the device was connected (the serial number appears when running "fastboot devices"), but when running "fastboot oem get_unlock_data", the program just hangs.

Here are the device details:

Stock ROM (obviously)

May 1st security patch

USB Debugging and OEM unlocking enabled (checked and double-checked)

PC details:

Arch Linux (kernel 5.1.15-arch1-1-ARCH), x86_64

Using latest Android Platform Tools, as of June 28, 2019.

android-udev package installed.

I've also attempted doing the same on a Windows 10 PC, but to no avail. Is anybody else facing this issue, or is there something important I'm missing? TIA

I've been trying like Hell to get OTA updates working on this phone. I finally found that downloading the earliest Oreo release from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=229118 will get OTA updates finally working. Other ROMs I've downloaded won't give the the option to update or will continuously be unsuccessful. I'm not sure why these ROMs are different. I managed to get OTAs installed up to April, but I simply booted(not flashed) twrp and OTAs refused to install after that. So not only does unrooting or re-flashing the boot.img not fix OTAs, simply booting into a custom recovery will break them. Is this because the recovery and boot partitions are combined on this phone? Is their anyway to root and/or install a custom recovery on this phone without losing OTAs forever?

[General Questions and Answers] denisiel:
Hi, I had a prepaid SIM card on an old phone on a Hong Kong number that was my Whatsapp number for years and forgot to top off so it expired and the number was recycled. I was using Whatsapp on my new phone for 3 years but now someone has activated that old number and created a WA account. I was able to contact the owner and she agreed to help me change the number to my new USA number in my new phone. In the meantime I asked WA if they could send me info on how to complete this process and instead they DEACTIVATED my account and it will permanently delete in 30 days so time is of the essence for me to restore my history and change to a new number. These are the steps we took:

1. Old SIM owner installed WA with my old number on her phone and then requested to change WA number to my new number.

2. WA sent a 6 digit verification code to my new number and the owner of the old SIM put it in her WA, saw it was installed properly, and then deleted her WA account.

3. I installed WA with the new number and it showed the groups I had been added into but it did not find the backup in Google Drive (GD). Upon further research, I assume that GD needs the WA account on my phone to be the old number.

4. I uninstalled WA with my new number and then installed WA with the old number. I asked WA to send the verification code to the old number. The owner of the old SIM sent me the 6 digit code but it did not work. WA would not allow another code to be sent by text for another 48 hours so I selected the other option for WA to call the old number. I did this twice and the owner of the old number said she did not receive any calls from WA with the code.

QUESTIONS:

1. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't the text code sent from WA to the old SIM work? Why doesn't WA call the old sim with the code when requested (is it because they don't call Hong Kong)?

2. Is it correct that on my new phone, I need to install WA with my old number and then hopefully it will restore the backup from my GD. And then I would change to my new number. And after these processes are completed, I then can tell the owner of the old SIM that she can create a WA account on her phone with the old number?

3. In my phone, I have a local backup from the old number's WA in folder Whatsapp\Databases.

msgstore.db.crypt12 (file size 46 kb)

msgstore-2019-06-20.1.db.crypt12 (file size 22,111 kb) - this is from the old number

Can I somehow force WA to use the backup msgstore-2019-06-20.1.db.crypt12 with my new number? Or it is encrypted so I must change the WA account to my old number first?

4. I have WA installed on my new phone with a third different number so I can chat with the owner of the old SIM/number. Does that matter as far as messing up the backup - it is not being backed up to GD.

5. I can see that Whatsapp is connected to GD but it does not show the size of the file and now I am worried that when I created a WA account on my new phone (after the owner of the old SIM changed the WA to my new number), that somehow it overwrote the backup on GD. I do not have the new number selected to backup to GD.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DSMB:
I'm really hoping someone can help me because I've been troubleshooting this for hours and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I flashed TWRP and no-verity a few weeks back. I used it to install some Smali patch files to allow mock locations. This worked but my provider had an issue, and I, assuming the issue was my phone, flashed stock Pie firmware and factory reset.

RMM State prenormal cleared recently so I went through the same process, also flashing RMM State Bypass v3 after no-verity.

My phone seemed to be working fine, but now many functions that seem to involve secure connection are severely crippled.

For example I play a couple games. One is Google account linked. Logging in hangs 5/6 attempts. Another involved logging into Facebook to transfer my account. I could not log in till I disabled Samsung Pass (coincidence?). I set up Viber and the authentication process took a while (usually takes seconds) and required a phone call. Adding Google accounts lags out. Initial setup of up the phone (after reset) lags. It's severe.

[Edit] it also takes quite a while for downloads in the Play Store to begin. Downloads quickly once it starts, but seems to take unusually long to start. [/Edit]

I flashed stock Oreo (from sammobile) and did a factory reset, but the issue persists!

SafetyNet test fails with a CTS mismatch, but basic integrity true. My device is not certified under "Play Protect Certification" either, though that was also the case after the first time I flashed stock to recover and I didn't have this problem. Didn't test SafetyNet the first time.

If anyone can help, it'd be amazing, because I'm not really sure where to go from here as it's very hard to search for this problem.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: I ended up flashing stock 9.0 for VAU and everything seems to be much improved. Oddly enough device was certified and SafetyNet all passes now, unlike the XSA version, even though the phone originally came with an XSA ROM. I'll never understand this phone haha.

I needed to unbrick to my zenfone live l1 Go edition 1Gb RAM because broke fastboot and recovery mode, only when connecting USB to computer a red light turns on.

This package contains:

/A FONDO/DRIVERS --> Some drivers include QDLoader to use QFIL

/A FONDO/ROM --> Stock ROM to flash all... ALL!!

/A FONDO/RECOVERY --> twrp custom recovery

/A FONDO/PROGRAMS/PC --> installer adb and fastboot to use commands and QFIL program to do unbrick

/A FONDO/PROGRAMS/TODO_ROOT --> Magisk to do ROOT the phone

/A FONDO/APK --> UnlockTool Asus app and MagiskManager

All files have been tested ;)

Notes

You need a windows pc to do unbrick and sd card

To enter in EDL mode you need to press Up vol + Down vol and power button, then it shows red light blink, and a device in COM PORT, if you see E900... press de buttons again and you need to select manually the QDLoader 9008 driver 2.1.0.5 version. Is possible you need press Up vol + Down vol long time.

If you see (some) .img error because of the partition length is 0 you need to edit rawprogram0.xml and delete the line where have (that) .img reference, save changes, close QFIL program and try again. When unbrick is finished without errors you need to do flash (that) .img with the fastboot command from adb folder, example: fastboot flash userdata path_to_stock_rom\userdata.img

To install custom recovery do: fastboot flash recovery path_to_twrp_recovery\recovery.img

To do Root the phone install Magisk.zip from twrp Install tab and selecting Magisk.zip copied in sd card

If you want to edit partitions to expand the size or others like create swap memory you need boot recovery directly from .img, example: fastboot boot path_to_twrp_recovery\recovery.img so you can do adb root and adb shell, but first you need push parted file doing: adb push path_to_parted_file\parted / and read this so good guide: iwf1.com/how-to-re-partition-your-android-tablet-or-smartphone-all-options-included-change-size-fs-type-etc

Hi folks. Can someone let me know what happens with MMSs in WM6.1 with the threaded SMS inbox?

I've got an emulator up and running with 6.1. I've also installed Arcsoft MMS 4.0.40.1 for Tornado. This puts the MMS inbox as part of the SMS inbox.

I've also written a tool to backup and restore your entire MAPI contents, including MMS. This is currently working great for SMS, and works when restoring an MMS to drafts, but I'm not sure what's supposed to happen in the threaded inbox view - so I can't tell if it's working or not.

So, my question is: what happens to an mms you receive? Does it live inline with threaded view, or do most people use a version of Arcsoft that has a separate message store?

Hi Folks,

I am not sure if you are aware, but there is a large list of GSI ROMs that will work on the One Max, including LineageOS 16 (Android 9)! Everything appears to work (not 100% about NFC) including the camera. Here is the complete list:

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

For some of these ROMs, you will need to install Gapps:

I recommend "pico"

https://opengapps.org/

Before you begin. DO A BACKUP FIRST!

The best method, after installing TWRP, and removing encryption is this:

1. Download/extract this LineageOS version:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...0-20190609-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img.xz

2. Download ARM64/9.0 Gapps / https://opengapps.org/

3. Do a full Wipe.

4. Install the LineageOS image first. Pick Install Image > Pick LOS image > Select system partition

5. After image is done, go back to main menu in TWRP. Pick Install > Zip > Install Gapps.

6. Reboot, Setup Google Account, and restore your cloud backup.

7. Download latest Magisk app & Zip and install.

8. Refer to _cab13_ post. Towards the bottom on getting Magisk working with GSI Roms:

https://xdaforums.com/android/development/umidigi-one-max-custom-rom-modding-t3942521

In TWRP, mount the /vendor and /system partitions to be able to copy files from one directory to another.

9. At this point, d'load a root checker app to verify prompts are working. You should now have rooted LOS16!
