Hi, is there any chance to have zip or img for flashing like update from older TWRP? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Extract the recovery.img from .tar and install it via older twrp as an img file. That's all.

Hello,

Thanks for your incredible job,

but unfortunately , there is no possibility to download TWRP-3.3.1-0-serranovelte.tar, because any mirror site is found on android file host...

Could you repair that maybe ?

thanks a lot

Mine is a Samsung Galaxy S9 American version.. my sister gave it to me and it is unlocked. And I loved it because it is Android. Anyway, I want to use it in Portugal permanently but I don't liked the T-Mobile Splash Boot screen. Is there a way for me to disabled it ? I heard that an international version can be done but this is an American version. I hope that you can be of help to me with that. I will be very grateful, please ? Sorry about my English.

Hello.

Whenever I connect my phone to my car, Android auto launches and maps also launches.

Is it possible to disable this? I only want to launch maps when I click the icon and not automatically.

Thanks.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] linx1287:
Hi

I am currently looking into the Asus, but other than unlocking bootloader, i havent found a good collection of guides for tinkering with the device. Info is a bit sporadic and directions to back out of "uh-oh" moments also look slim. I guess the whole A/B partitions thing takes a little to get my head around. I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to Asus, but i have fiddled around with Samsungs Sonys and my soon to be replaced HTC 10. I am currently considering this device, but development and ways to mod the device look very complicated for this device. I am also looking into Oneplus and Redmi.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] Ceruleancerise:
Due to the developmental nature of the mod-software none of its very concise or compiled into a guide -- im sure once more people get the phone (U.S. market) we'll see proper guides.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] infoflo:
After a long time I was finally able to unlock my Redmi Note 7.

I realized that flashing and other things on this device are a little bit more complex than on other devices I have had in the past.

Therefore I want to know what are the do's and dont's of this device and maybe make a comprehensive list so that everyone can avoid BRICKING or running into trouble while messing around with their phone.

I have seen things such as:

- never wipe system (which i'm not sure is true btw)

- dm-verity and vbmeta stuff (when to do it and what is it for? - some do it, some don't... which is confusing)

etc.

As you can tell I'm a newbie with this device.

Would be cool if you guys could give some input in order to create a comprehensive list.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shetty_chadda:
Yeah Same thing here !!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackGarnett:
I've been using this phone for a month, i'm not an expert but if it can help around.

-Most custom ROM have they steps to flash and are usually the same for a clean flash (Wipe Cache, Dalvik/Art Cache, Data and System)

-If the custom ROM need it you will need to flash Vbmeta, usually the most ROM already have it inside, and a few have it as an external zip, this is only needed "once" you are coming from MIUI to a custom ROM, otherwise you don't.

-Other custom ROM will ask you to flash global firmware and that's just a 60MB zip that you will found in the ROM links usually, as I said most of the Custom ROM post have their steps.

-Dm-verity is something i haven't had to face as a problem so far so can't help abot that, but following the steps have never cause me any trouble.

What to do?

-First read the post of the Custom ROM including their answers, as it always help before flashing something because you will read if it have any kind of problem or etc from users feed back, and of course the OP info.

-Always have a backup of your stock ROM and personal data to avoid any lost.

-The break-the-glass solution in case of any problem will be always to know which version of phone do you have and have a Fastboot ROM for emergencies or if you are returning to MIUI stock, and the MIFlashTool from MIUI site.

-Always clean flash when you are going to another rom.

What not to do:

-Wiping and formating things you don't know what are you messing with, eg. Vendor partition.

-Never do a dirty flash over another custom ROM or stock, only do dirty flash in the same ROM type if the Dev says is possible to "update" that rom with that method, otherwise do a clean flash.

-Never flash another MIUI ROM that's not your type (China, Global, EEA, Rus, etc) with the MIFlashTool.

-Never flash or use the MIUI Tool with low battery

This might be the common and global things that always someone can tell you, if not the much but i hope it might help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vexa:
never wipe system, unless you're planning to install another rom after that.

/system is where your OS (ROM) is located, wiping it is wiping your OS from your phone.

IDK much about disable DM-v and vbmeta, all I know is we need these two for disabling android's verified boot, secure boot thingy from google. yay.

AFAIK, we have 3 ways to disable DM-V

Using ofox, open settings > ota > mark on 'disable dm-v' before flashing ROM

by flashing disable dmv zip

by flashing magisk because it's included in magisk.

just do one of them but you can do all three, it doesn't really matter.

and vbmeta is needed only if you're on MIUI and about to flash AOSP rom.

but lately most custom AOSP already zipped with vbmeta so you don't need to worry about that.

here's how I flash ROMs

format data,

reboot recovery,

wipe cache, dalvik, system, data, internal,

flash firmware

flash ROM

flash gapps (optional)

flash kernel (optional)

flash magisk

reboot

hope this helps. :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arrowblue:
Wipe system if you are installing another rom otherwise you will end in bootloop because there is no system to boot.

Get a latest flashable firmware for your Note7 and place it in your mobile in case you get bootloop.

Install Recovery have every thing always backup.

Use Titanium backup for your apps even system apps should be backedup if you are going to modified system apps or delete them .

I just got the device 2 hours ago already making an optimized/rooted/debloated stock rom for it .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashOverride93:
Mmm, I used to flash custom ROMs like this way:

- wipe cache, dalvik, system, data, internal,

- format data,

- reboot recovery,

- flash firmware (never did it)

- flash ROM

- flash gapps (optional)

- flash kernel (optional)

- flash magisk

- reboot

What do you mean by flashing a firmware before custom rom? (red)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vexa:
this firmware, because some roms require certain firmware version (usually the latest stable one)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashOverride93:
Ohh didn't know. Thanks for letting it me know.

I only flashed, until now, RR and AEX. Now I'm back on Xiaomi.eu ROM But never had any problem.
[HTC Excalibur] TPH0NE:
im just wondering if anyone actually had dis phone for a year. If you had multiple dashes, count the most recent one you had or currently have. So, how long have you had your dash?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Had one since last May ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Crusher16:
I've had mine for a year and half, I think. All I know for sure is that this is the phone I have had the longest out of all the phones I have had before. Best phone I have ever had. :)

About a month ago too.

[HTC Excalibur] vwrpm:
I have owned mine since 12/22/06 and have loved every moment. This is the best phone I have owned and has certainly taken more use and abuse than most phones I have owned. I have worn most of the chrome off the edges and the keyboard feels really broken in compared to newer ones I have flashed for friends, but I wouldn't trade this phone for any other right now. All I have replaced since the original purchase was the battery.
[HTC Excalibur] sf777cop:
A year and a half

I bought mine from my nephew at Christmas and he had had it for a year. (he didnt like it) I have reflashed it about 5-7 times and presently have Rickys v22 (gonna make any new ones Ricky) I love it. My operator TIM Brazil gave me a Nokia N73 and a E62 which I could not learn to love after the dash and I sold them cheap. LONG LIVE THE S620/621

ill be making a new rom v24 as soon as OrganicM has finished his weather panal and tlogix has finished his Chrome Configurator but only if thay say its ok

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] brand0nYates:
Hey Guys,

Saw an article on 9to5Google today about a shaking issue with the camera. I opened my camera app and sure enough I have that issue too. I didn't notice it until today.

My personal experience with this issue is when I open the camera app and place the phone in a stationary position, the image moves around slowly like the phone is being moved.

Mine isn't as bad as the video here.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
Looks like a hardware issue. I don't have this issue on my P3XL. I am running Q Beta5 though. So, I don't know if its an issue with Pie.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dipstik:
i remember seeing more movement when i tested my device when it was new. figured thats how they got the extra pixels for high zoom
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
I thought monthly security patches from Google, release on the first Monday of the month, and that the first Tuesday of the month is the new beta releases?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Typically the beta releases are on a Wednesday. 1 - 4 are the beginning of the month, the last two are whenever they release them. I'm assuming tomorrow, but, could be next week too. Last year the final beta was first week of August, and the stable was the last week of August.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JujuYuki:
Also last year there were only 5 betas, so I wouldn't be looking too hard at past release schedules, especially with how vague they made this year's timeline (on purpose, so that they can adapt a bit, should they need to)

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] bungalowbill:
This phone was meant to be the best mobile I've ever purchased, but silly things are putting me off. I am only 4 months into ownership, and now looking to part company with my Mi 9 as soon as possible.

1. The data just stops working when the phone loses and regains signal - as covered in a variety of other XDA threads and elsewhere. Makes the phone totally useless to someone like me who does a lot of travelling on underground trains and on motorways - I am missing alerts, messages, emails because of this.

2. The flashlight/torch keeps turning itself on randomly without any user intervention.

3. Since the last update, Google Photos has all the images showing with a crazy contrast level that makes them hard to look at. Again, covered in lots of threads elsewhere including temporary "fixes", but frustrating.

Anything I'm missing?

I'm not in a position to root etc to try other ROMs as I rely heavily on Google Pay which is broken on rooted/unlocked phones. Current ROM 10.2.28.0 (PFAEUXM). Reporting to Xiaomi I might as well just shout my grievances into a well... :crying:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cihot:
Not judging just having question to

1. Does it not reconnect to the Internet after it lost signal? When I use the underground and loose signal but get out of it it works for me still. Or is your problem different?

2. Did you link the flashlight with the Assistant button?

3. I just checked Google photos but don't see any difference in picture view. How do I see the high contrast you have?

Sincerely a new Xiaomi user
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Mindfield21:
Same version of miui, locked, unrooted.

1. Never had I experienced something like that

2. Never had I experienced something like that

3. Most likely a Google photos issue. After the latest Google app update (not Google photos app) it seems to be fixed.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] 00day:
I agree on 1 and 2

The 3rd bug I experienced also on havoc gsi so I don't really think it is miui specific.

I would add to the list weirdly working auto brightness, on other phones it works way better than on mi9

Also notifications icons limit on statusbar is set incorrectly, fix for that is in beta since month or maybe two but xiaomi prefers to change notch shape rather than fixing bugs in stable rom...

And the last one is more like a visual "glitch" than a bug. statusbar is a little taller than a notch
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] MarvinMe:
I don't have any of these bugs (running Revolution OS - modified MIUI stock rom).

Point 3. (as someone already said) disappeared after an update, although the official google support told me it has something to do with the vendor in particular (even though some OnePlus 7 pro devices are affected as well).

Never heard anything like point 1. tbh. I would recommend leaving stock rom behind and either go for xiaomi.eu/revolution OS or some other sort of Rom. Trust me there is way less bloatware and a much better overall experience compared to stock rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] bungalowbill:
1. That's correct - it shows full bars and the 4G symbol and you can make and receive calls and texts, but you cannot pass any data until you toggle data off/on or reboot. This is number one bug - what use a communication device that stops communication and you don't know about it. I am confused how it does not affect everyone on this ROM however there are more than enough people saying it is happening to them.

2. Yes, long press of assistant button to toggle flashlight. But it still turns on randomly even when the phone is just sat on the desk!

3. This is fixed apparently by disabling automatic contrast and then reinstalling Google photos - so maybe you won't see this? The symptoms are - open Google Photos, tap on any photo, after a second it changes the contrast of the image so you can barely see it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Krazhil:
1. Even worse: if my Mi 9 loses signal it will never reconnect unless I restart the phone. Happened on Global ROM and Xiaomi.EU ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] saturday_night:
1. The data/Signal problems are 100% Provider/Region related. If not, everybody would have that same Problem.

2. If you blame the device / Stock Rom why do you come with those problems to xda? Nobody here is working for xiaomi, go to them.

3. If you like xda you should be able to use the search, all of your problems are solved a long time ago and solutions are all over xda. Just search for it.

The way you did it looks like a little child laying under the table crying and kicking around no matter who is around.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] kingbasescu:
1. Can confirm mine definitely doesn't do that, would be horrible if it did, I wholeheartedly agree(miui 10.2.28 PFAEUXM). Then again I only had it for 2 weeks, wouldn't be surprised if something like this would start happening in the future, such is the life of "flagship killers", but I knew the risks when I jumped aboard even though I had the budget for an s10+ or 7 pro.

2.Never had it happen but that sounds like the kind of bug that would definitely be fixed with a minor software update. If the problem has been reoccurring after subsequent updates then a hard reset would be worth a try.

3. Not an app I use.

If you have a warranty then it should be applicable for that signal issue, it should also be easy to reproduce in a competent repair service.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mongoload:
Here is mine...

1. I also experience this sometimes, connection seems lost even though 4g signal is full bar, have to turn on airplane mode to refresh then it will have connection again.

2. Never happened to me..

3. This was fixed now, just update google app and gphotos. It was weird when it was like that, but now it is ok.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] NXTwoThou:
1. What's your preferred network type set for? I had all sorts of connection issues on AT&T USA until I switched to GSM/WCMA/LTE. I had it set for LTE Only for the longest time but on a road trip realized that wasn't always possible.

1. Never had that

2. Never had that

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] BlasterSK:
Yeah,there are some annoying bugs that im experiencing as well. That shouldnt happen in the flagship line. But on the other hand,there is no better phone i could buy for the money,so i will just wait and hope those bugs will be fixed soon. Otherwise its just great phone and i wouldnt give up this phone just for the camera itself.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] omgomg:
Well, you were the one that came here complaining. As he explained you, the signal problems are operator related, otherwise we all would have them, and I can tell you I used 3 different carriers in my country and they all work flawlessly.

Also, those problems you talk about have long been solved, I'd suggest you spend your time searching the forum instead complaining for no reasons.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] lusp00ky:
1. Never had that

2. Same

3. App specific issue - already fixed.

I do have other bugs that annoys me more, like:

1) screens turns on out of the blue, no notification is shown - but if I unlock the phone, I can see that there is a lower priority (not showed on lock screen) notification..

2) when alarm rings, opening the clock app (by clicking on the current time on the widget) does not show the alarm and a stop button, instead I need to pull in notifications and click on the stop action there.

3) android auto: different issues.. sometimes the call app does not appear on the notification area, so I had an issue where android auto disconnected, and I could not disconnect the call. Spotify also does not launch from the car dash, I have to manually open it on my phone. could be app specific, but knowing issues with android auto on other Xiaomi phones, I'm not sure.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] bungalowbill:
I can't find anyone explaining how to fix 1 and 2.

Also, 1 not carrier specific - happens to me on both EE and Vodafone in the UK and other people reporting other various networks Europe wide.

Frankly, I would say if you don't have anything to add, you leave the thread. Or carry on wasting your time replying to things you can't help with, your choice.
