[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drazenm:
Hello everyone, I have a device that's called archos hello 5, it's something like Google hub, lenovo display Amazon show etc. It's running Android 8.1.0

I have 2 problems, first is that I can't use a live wallpaper on it, have no idea why but I can't, when I try to apply it I get a message that says can't use live wallpaper. Never came across any android device before that didn't allow me to apply and use a live wallpaper, any solutions? I tried installing live wallpaper picker but it doesn't help, crashes.

2nd problem is that this device is made to be used as a bedside thing but the screen is too bright even on the lowest brightnesses, I tried all possible apps for dimming the brightness but none help, the problem is with screens backlit intensity, is there any way to lower/reduce screens light, dimm the lcd backlit?

Thank you in advance for your help, I sincerely appreciate it.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] binser:
Hello,

I have a Mi Max 3 6GB/128GB which I got from the UK which arrived unlocked and with Global Stable ROM installed which actually updated to V10.3.3.0.PEDMIXM by OTA - I tested.

fastboot getvar anti shows failed, so I assume no Anti Rollback Protection, which I thought a little strange, it being MIUI 10 with (after OTA) June 2019 security patch.

I spent the last couple weeks setting up the phone to my liking (I have 300 apps installed) and finally finished yesterday.

Then I wanted to uninstall some Google/Facebook/Xiaomi bloatware using the excellent "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools".

I was pretty careful in my opinion to only remove the safe ones (the tool claims to only show you the safe ones) like Music, Video, MiPay, MiCloud, MiForum, MiSIM and all Facebook in the ADB section of the tool.

The I switched in fastboot and thought it would be a good idea to wipe Cache (nothing else).

Upon restart the Mi Max 3 first shows the black boot screen with unlock written at the bottom, then changes to the normal boot boot screen with MIU and the points at the bottom showing that it is busy booting. It stayed there for a while and I thought maybe it was rebuilding the cache and it took that long, but after 30 min still no luck.

Then I fired up the "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools" on my PC again and it told me the phone was in ADB mode, I could reboot into system mode, where the same thing happened - no progress in booting.

I cannot turn off my phone either, but I can switch from sastem boot (which gets stuck) into fastboot mode via ADB.

Would someone know what's wrong and what I can do to get my phone out of that bootloop while hopefully maintaining all my data and setups, on which I worked for weeks?

Thank you so much for your help!

P.S .: In case it could help: I could read out the phone properties of the Mi Max using the "Xiaomi ADB / Fastboot Tools" while it was softbricked, meaning the ro. init. persist. sys. and dalvik. values of the smartphone. I am happy to post them here, if requested.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] sfairmm:
Hi,

Do you have an SD card? If so, remove it, because as you cleared the cache, I think it might be a problem with encryption (lost reference).

In your case, I believe a reset will work again, but you will lose application configuration data. Via ADB you can backup files only.

If you do not have unlock bootloader, be very careful as you will not be able to flash TWRP or others.

Good luck!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] binser:
Thanks, the phone came from the vendor with Global Stable ROM and unlocked. It may be an unofficial unlock, though I was able to install OTAs.

I don't have SDCard.

How can I do ADB backup?

I was able to flash official TWRP just a few minutes but it couldn't access data, maybe because it is encrypted. Now I think I will try and install latest Orange Fox r10 stable, which I think should be able to handle decryption, so that maybe I will be able to get at my date.

Any other advice?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] sfairmm:
Hi,

Now that you have TWRP, clear cache / dalvik from TWRP and try starting again, maybe start system.

About copy via adb follows a link below:

https://www.lifewire.com/use-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-4582201

in step 2

"

The command to move files from your computer to your phone is adb push.

To move files from your phone to your computer the command is adb pull.

"

Through TWRP you may also be able to back up. Go to (mount partitions) and select all partitions.

Make sure the TWRP MTP option is on, it will allow the device to be mounted via usb on your computer.

I use TWRP I use nijel8, it works very well.

https://xdaforums.com/mi-max-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-1-nitrogen-t3866084

If you can't launch system, you will have to reinstall the Rom.

Good luck!

PS.

More help for adb.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] binser:
Thanks for your advice!

I first used the official TWRP and I was able to flash it and start it.

But then the wipe of cache and dalvik failed.

And I could not mount data etc..

When I tried to repair the file system with TWRP I got error 255 - unable to repair data from fsck.f2fs.

Then I saw in your signature that you use nijel8's TWRP and I read that thread, and I started to understand, that my TWRP errors most likely originate from TWRP not being able to decrypt my partitions.

However, towards the end of the thread it seemed that nijel8 stopped working on that project and then Xiaomi once again changed the encryption in MIUI 10/Pie and so it was recommended first to use an obscure Chinese TWRP and then to move on to Orange Fox Recovery Project, which supposedly can handle the decryption better. So that's what I got and I am just about to install it and see if I can rescue or even repair anything.

If you have any other tips for me, I would be very grateful.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] sfairmm:
You have explored the possibilities well, at the moment I dont have more options regarding current system recovery / backup.

The encryption error resolves you by formatting the user partition by TWRP, in the option to format f2fs plus the installation of a custom Rom or Xiaomi.eu.

Look for tutorials and other reviews before testing these procedures.

Remember that there is a big achance of your ARB model as well.

Good luck.

PS. You can try dirty flash. Find an recovery Rom same version, and flash via TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] ghost2hunt:
Recently rooted my galaxy s10+, seemed to work fine at first, just the camera app causing the phone to crash, right now it's in a constant reboot loop where i can't enter recovery or download mode.

Phone is instantly rebooting when I plug in a usb cable so adb won't recognize the device nor will my pc in general.

Read up on a lot of threads online & what got recommended on older threads was booting from a debrick image off of your sd card, although i'm unsure if this'll work. regardless not that I can no longer boot the phone I'm unsure of how to generate this file to begin with, which is why I was hoping one of you guys might be able to help me out with generating or linking me to said debrick image.

Or if anyone knows of another way to possibly fix my phone, please do let me know.

Thanks in advance,

A galaxy s10+ user
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
I don't think there is a debrick image for the S10 or S10 plus. You might want to try flashing your stock firmware in Odin.

You can't get into recovery or download mode? Sounds like you might be hard bricked then. In that case, a phone repair shop might be your best bet.

Hi everyone,

Is is possible to root OP7Pro via magisk without a PC (or with a PC without admin rights)?

I understand from the guides here that a PC is usuallyneeded to install TWRP, but I'd like to know if there is an alternative way to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and then magisk without admin rights in a PC.

Thank you in advance
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] equlizer:
You need a PC to do all of that :)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] oryanh:
Not true, you can do it with a Mac!

Sorry, couldn't help it.

Equilizer is right.

I will say though that not much of a PC is needed. I would imagine the old PC's people are throwing away these days would work just fine for what is needed.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dknight178:
Would admin rights be needed? I don't have a personal laptop right now so I'm planning to use a company-issued laptop instead (Windows 10 with Symantec removable media encryption)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blackknightavalon:
As long as you can install ADB and Fastboot on your work computer you should be good to go. If not, just spend a couple hundred bucks on a cheaper laptop. That's what I did when I started rooting Android over 10 years ago

Guys, suggest best stable rom performance as well as battery backup.

Which one will be the best miui, xiaomi.eu or indian????

Please, share your opinions about best miui stable rom.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] madsponge26:
There's no best rom at all and stop spamming. Reported!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Funk Wizard:
Thread moved to Q&A Section

Please stop asking for the best ROM (for battery, for performance or any other criteria), it doesn't exist. If there was one true best ROM, do you think there would be other ROMs?

There is only subjectively best and that's different for everyone. Everyone has different usage patterns and preferences, so when asking for the best, you get the best for them, not the best for you. The only way you'll find the best one for you is by trying them yourself. They're all free, anyway.

Also, keep in mind that the Developers are not competing against each other and they're not trying to win you over or anything. They all have different design goals, they're not trying to be better than one another. They're just trying to be different. Asking for the best is quite disrespectful towards the Developers.

Thank you for your understanding,

Front glass has been shattered from a not at all nasty fall. Display and touch is absolutely fine. I enquired with one mi service center they don't change the glass alone. They change whole screen, touch and the glass which costs INR 6300. How much does it take get the front glass replaced from a third party shop?

I had just taken off old tempered glass 4 days ago and was waiting to install a new one. And this :eek: happens.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Nishant Nimbster:
I got my front glass replaced yesterday for 950₹ in Hyderabad,India
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] lockhrt999:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] shipnil1:
I guess this is from local shops. So was it just the front glass replacement or the whole lcd screen is replaced? How long does it take to do the replacement?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] WoolfishStrives:
From looking up youtube videos I think it's a lot more work to replace just the glass. It seems to be bonded to the touchscreen so it looks easier to replace them as one unit
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] lockhrt999:
About half an hour minimum. Only front glass has been replaced. There are three separate elements viz front glass, touch panel, lcd screen. Change whichever is damaged. If you go to authorised xiaomi service center they will replace everything for about 30% value of the phone, regardless what has damaged.

We can't change it ourselves unless we have those professional ovens and vacuum chambers. Leave it to the experienced people.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] shipnil1:
Thanks lockhrt999! In my case, I think it is just the glass that is broken. Now if I get that replaced, I think it will be a normal glass and not a gorilla glass. How does the normal glass hold up in daily use?

I think it was scratch resistant. Gorilla glass are overrated. Every damn thing these days is scratch resistant. Get your front glass replaced and install a tempered glass and it'll be better than gorilla glass.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] amn1987:
Do have any idea how much it would take for replacing the touchscreen alone? Everything else is working fine. TIA.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] lockhrt999:
~₹1100 at most mobile repair shops. That's for the glass alone. Upto 1k extra for touch maybe.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Archit9169:
An extra bit of info:

1. There is a slight chance that the replacement of glass may damage the display. So keep that in mind, the last time i was there my display was slightly damaged, there was a black line running along the display. Although you will get the chance to check the display before the new glass is applied so make sure to check it before applying new glass. It will cost around Rs. 1000.

2. The replacement glass is just normal glass like the tempered glass. It is scratch resistant to some degree but it is not very strong and will break if drop from a height.

3. The whole folder and assembly will cost somewhere around Rs. 1600. If anyone is asking for more than this then do no fall for them. Because only the certified xiaomi store sells replacement folder (display+touch) that is original, and that is around Rs. 6000. If buying from a third party seller there is 100% guarantee that it will be duplicate and not original.

4. The original screen can have varying issues depending upon the panel installed. On some panels you may get back light bleeding issues, on other panels you may get touch issues. So Rs. 6000 for them is overkill. Similarly the local screen may also have some issues. Some local screen will have issues regarding brightness and color intensity. Some will have touch issues where you will either get resistant touch problem where the touch will sometimes not respond or will require more force to be used, or you will require a custom kernel to be flashed for the touch to even function. So anyways check the panel before installation.

So to cap it all if you do not want to take chances with third party display or touch and want to keep original then you can get the glass replaced but there might be slight chance that the display may be damaged. In that case always check the display before applying new glass. Or you can just get everything new but then again that will be local and not original, so remember do not pay more than Rs. 1600 for replacement screen. Seriously paying more than that on screen replacement for this phone is a joke as even the original screen have a ton of issues.

I hope this will help someone out there.

Have a good day.

probably a broken touch and i believe it can be fixed. but its better to get a new display altogether if the touch and display are combined. After market touch are not that good, and front glass removal have a slight change of damaging the display.
