[LineageOS News & Discussion] pidda2017:
I am interested in buying a phone with official bootloader unlocker for LineageOS and have after hours of research found that Xiaomi seems to have this including no loss of warranty when rooted but I am unsure if this is true.

So I mailed to Xiaomi Customer Support to verify this but got the usual no reply-reply, I want to buy the phone in Norway and there is no support in Norway.

1) Is there an official bootloader unlocker for Xiaomi Redmi Note 7?

2) Does rooting affect warranty?

Hello to all "senior members".

after having taken more finely the instructions for formatting the DATA partition, provided by darhma, I formatted the SYSTEM and VENDOR partitions "normally" and

launched the installation of the custom ROM.

Usually using my old smartphones, I took RESURRECTION REMIX again, and it works!

It does not loop during the first boot and the installation continued on ANDROID

Thank you very much [MENTION=7563842]darhma[/MENTION]

Does anyone have a working IPSec VPN on Windows Mobile 6.1? It seems that a lot of things in this seem to be broken and I'm trying to figure out what is broken.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] geraldoak:
hi friend.

i only use the PPTP vpn connection with WM6.1 to connect terminal server.

it is under

setting -- > manage existing connections --> VPN

it have a option of PPTP or IPsec/L2TP.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] geraldoak:
soon i will change the terminal server to IPsec connection.

Bluefire VPN

Hi CRCinAU,

Not sure if this is related to your question but....

My company uses Bluefire VPN software to create a secure VPN tunnel. I've tried Bluefire on your WM6.1 10.3 and it does create a secure VPN tunnel but for some reason, I can't download my company email even though I can ping my company's mail server just fine. Very weird and frustrating...

However, using my Dell X51v running Lenny's WM6.1 Beta 5, I have no problems with Bluefire and retrieving company email.

Bluefire is not freeware but I believe you can contact the company for a demo version for you to use for 30 days....

Regards to all.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] FriendlyNeighborhoodShane:
Okay so as you guys know, development has commenced on this device with Grarak bringing out a surprisingly complete TWRP. But it'll still be some time before we will get custom ROMs.

What's our solution in the meanwhile? GSIs! Generic system images are ROMs compiled to be able to run on as many devices as possible (theoretically, of course.)

Now that we have a TWRP, it will be much easier to flash these images and check if they boot (and restore stock ROM if they don't)

Now as our device has a Pie vendor, it should be able to run any Pie or below GSI that's thrown at it, but that's just theoretically speaking.

I have already tried a GSI and will try a couple more as soon as time permits, and am planning to make a list here of GSIs in the 2nd post known to work or not to work. Of course, I am just a single person, so anybody who can, grab a GSI of your favourite ROM and try it out. Don't forget to report your results in this thread so we can make a fairly complete list.

Tips for flashing in 3rd post.

A list of all known GSIs is here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

Tips:

How I got LOS to boot:

1. Got Andy Yan's latest LOS build FOR A/B DEVICES! And DM-verity disabler from here https://xdaforums.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389 (Thanks zack5ptg!). Remove "forceencrypt" from the zip's filename or it will disable encryption too, which will be a MAJOR security hole.

2. Flashed GSI image and then DM-verity disabler from TWRP

3. Formatted data (FORMATTED, not wiped)

4. Booted!

NOTE: For Pie or Oreo GSIs, use an A/B image, because they're system-as-root like our device while the A-only images are traditional system!

If you want to flash system mods but it says there isn't any free space, go to TWRP > Wipe > Advanced and press resize system, and swipe.

To fix brightness in GSIs, from terminal after su or from ADB do:

setprop persist.sys.phh.samsung_backlight 1

To fix corners on GSIs, put https://treble.phh.me/treble-overlay-toto.apk in /system/overlay or /vendor/overlay and chmod 755

The A705FN might need extra steps, as the author explains here:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a70/how-to/guide-how-to-boot-gsi-treble-roms-t3957528

I don't think this needs to be said, but Magisk or any other system mod lowers your chances of booting any ROM. So first you should try to boot just the GSI with no gimmicks.

If that doesn't work for you, maybe check out what makes GSIs on our little brother A50 tick?

(NOTE: I dunno if this will or wonlt work on A70 so proceed with some caution)

Hi,

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mikkis2k:
No. And prob wont happen, OneUI is a lagfest and wont be a thing developers Will even think about.

I absolutely agree, I had an S9+ before and after switching to 7 Pro, I couldn't be any happier.

The development support on Galaxies just sucks, manufacturers have made it in a way that people can't but run only stock rom to their satisfaction.

And once you've tripped Knox, that's it, can never use SPay, Health, etc. ever. At least there should be an option to lock bootloader back again. Samsungs just suck big time.

I liked the S10+ but always missed the 6T. Battery and snappyness. Came to 7 pro and I was like f**k Samsung.

They use older processors, they give you crappy interface. Well I do miss 1 hand operations+. Root sucks on Sammy. Op all the way.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] turbotorsten:
Guys please, he's not asking for a rant about OneUI, hes just asking if a port is possible.

To answer the question, yes it is most likely possible to port OneUI for our phone just like it was done with the MIUI, but it will be the full Samsung System then and no more OxygenOS. Apart from that I doubt that anyone is willing to take the enormous effort that is needed to take such a project

I also just purchased my first oneplus. Previous devices being samsung, sony, htc. I modded all my previous devices and since this is a new brand for me, i guess i am a little lost on some details. I read up on all the guides and so on and i think i understand on the processes of bootloader unlocking, twrp and magisk root. I now need to have my "uh-oh" knowledge before moving forward. My first question is my device is a 1910 device aka Chinese, but i am running OOS and i read that as my phone carries the GM21AA build, i am able to flash India/US/Global versions. As i understand it, to do manual OTAs, i am to take the OTA files from the thread here https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/oneplus-7-pro-global-repo-oxygen-os-t3930585 and put it in the download folder and i can manually update it through settings. My question is can i flash a global or indian build on my preexisting Chinese build OOS? Also will it be possible to upload bootloader and all the other stuff if i update to the latest OOS? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Nice to see there are three of us new to this device.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RogerNZ:
Yes.

A 1910 (China) phone will run Hydrogen, EU OOS, or Global OOS. Take your pick. Most people would probably chose Global.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aussiesausage:
Is there a specific difference between them? Mine is a GM1910 so I'm assuming it's Chinese? It was purchased on eBay.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RogerNZ:
It is my understanding the phones are physically identical. The only difference is the roms.

Hydrogen is the Chinese rom which your 1910 phone would originally have had. It has everything Google removed because Chinese Government doesn't like Google. In addition it has state approved Chinese apps. EU OOS and Global OOS are near identical. Both contain Google. However, the European Union does not like Google's near monopoly. So due to EU laws, EU OOS contains less Google and more ability to opt out.

Global is a good option, IMHO, because it has everything and you can then debloat to the way you want.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] aussiesausage:
Ah okay, understood. My phone didn't have any Google stuff on it until I restored from my account and it installed everything I had on my S10 onto my OP7P.

Absolutely incredible phone, blazing fast compared to my Exynos S10, not too mention 90hz display makes it look butter smooth.

Here in Australia we didn't get Snapdragon Samsung devices, so to feel the difference is night and day, I understand why everyone goes Snapdragon over Exynos for performance.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] linx1287:
Thanks for the reply. So i flash it by putting the OTA in downloads and just choosing it from system update's local storage mode? Sorry, very new to Oneplus and of course A/B partitions and all that. Bit daunting at first but i'll get the hang of it soon.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RogerNZ:
OK, so if I understand you, then you are currently running 21AA and wanting Global unlocked. Is that correct?

If so, the first thing to understand is 21AA is Global unlocked. You already have Global unlocked.

As you are not rooted, the easiest way to update is via the stock updater. It will update with as large leaps as possible.

Please excuse me if I misunderstood you.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] linx1287:
No no you understood me perfectly. I didnt get it until now. Thank you. In case something goes south and i need to recover...would i need to fall back to Hydrogen OS as my device is still 1910? And is the 1910 eligible for custom roms? I still havent unlocked or rooted and am finding very few reasons too. OOS is too perfect, havent found too many reasons to root yet.

If i were to unlock bootloader though, do i need some sort of token or just unlock it via the fastboot method in the guides?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RogerNZ:
If you're not rooted, it will be difficult to stuff up. But if it does go south, use global rom for your recovery. Put the rom in the root of your SDcard (not download).

There is no need to ever touch Hydrogen.

1910 is compatible with custom rom.

To unlock bootloader does not require a token. But be aware, unlocking bootloader will lower Widevine to L3. This means some streaming video will not be HD anymore. Netflix. If you like HD streaming video, you might choose to leave bootloader alone and stay stock.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] linx1287:
Thank you for all the clarification. I dont do HD streaming too much. I do spend time in YouTube but most of my video content is on local storage.

Thank you, you have been a massive help. I think i got most of it, will still do some reading on the threads and use the phone bonestock in the meantime. One final thing, how can i roll back to full stock after unlocking bootloader installing twrp and rocking custom roms? With my HTC, all i had to do was put the firmware zip on SD storage and boot to download mode and simply flash to get back to full stock with stock recovery and so on.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] RogerNZ:
I think wipe data and flash stock OOS in both slots. Best pose that question elsewhere lest I put you wrong.
