hello ppl!

i have a G3 wizard, CID and SIM unlocked - special thanks go to: Dr Puttingham, faria, machinagod, zabardast_1, its right, and all the others that contributed with their post to my actual wm knowledge -

back to subject, two days ago i've got my first ppc - a wizard, and after reading countless of (partial)unusefull stuff, and some stickyes i've managed to unlock it (it had german language), downgrade it, and flash it.. the thing is that - after t-mobile (2.26) i tried to make a backup on the sd card using mtty1[1].42, and then i put in it the latest tnt rom (pro) - everything works flawless, except the sd card. in bootloader it asks me to press the green (call) key to restore, but i don't need to, i will just stick to the tnt rom, so the backup on the card is not needed no more, but i can't access it, format it (if possible from wizard - don't have a card reader a.t.m.), .. so here comes my question: is there a way to format it / make it accessible again (the mini sd card) ?

normally, i wouldn't care, but it's a 2gb one :|

if the answer is somewhere on this forum, please give me directions, i've already read most threads (from start to end) in every topic/category, so i don't mind another one, thank you!

hope you understand my english, and also i hope someone will answer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rompetotto:
solved

problem solved using card reader -> format.

now i'm angry for starting a thread for such a "situation".

someone please close it, or delete it, 10x.

Which gcam version will be the best for k20 pro??? Also, please recommend best settings too for gcam???:confused:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] xdabitch:

Hello,

In my opinion, best gcam is MGC_6_1_021_xcam6_beta5.apk

https://miui.blog/redmi-k20/gcam-ports-apk-redmi-k20-pro/

and the best settings are mine. I tweaked some settings i found on the web. This is what satisfies me the most.

Found it that the Brazilian apk "hypercam" is just the xtreme gcam with custom xml but as some bug, best gcam I tried is on Pie, the xcam6_beta10.

Just look for the telegram group on Celsoazevedo gcam site Learn to use xml, it's easy, you can use different ones on a switch. Astrophotography can be enable, all works nice and support the 3 lens, eis video don't work.

[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
Hey All,

I wanted to start a thread on compiling AOSP from scratch. I have done a bit of work with the folks over in the unofficial Lineage build (thank you [MENTION=2790198]gee one[/MENTION]!).

If you want to recreate my work, I posted helper scripts to include the necessary changes as well as a guide on how to compile there. Those scripts were adapted from lineageOS.

You can download a compiled img files or the recovery-image.zip here (get the vendor image here, and get the bootloader and radio images here). The recovery-image.zip should be able to be flashed in TWRP, or you can execute the following commands in the bootloader for the img files:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot -w (to wipe cache and data)

This is currently based off of build PQ3B.190801.002, last updated 2019-08-30

This ROM is compatible with MicroG, OpenGapps, F-Droid Privileged App, and Magisk

MicroG - Install via NanoDroid: https://nanolx.org/nanolx/nanodroid (Install first NanoDroid-Patcher then NanoDroig-MicroG)

OpenGapps - https://opengapps.org/

Magisk: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk

F-Droid Privileged App: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota/

KNOWN ISSUES:

- AT&T does not have "Enhanced 4G LTE" mode, and WiFi Calling doesn't seem to work. I imagine this is a proprietary blob missing.

- eSIM isn't functional. I have a test build for it if you want to try, but it will crash without MicroG or Google Play. When I get confirmation it works I'll add it.

- There are probably other proprietary files I can add so that I can unlock normally stock ROM features, feel free to post and let me know. I am happy to even provide test builds, so if it does work, I will add it to the normal ROM.

NOTICES:

- This is untested in Sprint and Verizon. I removed a bunch of their proprietary files, so if you install and it doesn't work, install this version and see if it works. Please also let me know the results!

- If you do not install the AOSP Vendor above, you get a "device is corrupted" error. This is intentional. Secure boot is still on, so you cannot use the factory vendor image.

- The compiled ROMs will stay as close to AOSP as possible, with the exception of adding proprietary files that unlock stock ROM features. I do this so maintaining the ROM is easy, and I really only make this ROM for myself. I don't mind posting the compiled ROMs here, and I do hope folks find it useful. However, I am not adding non-stock/AOSP features (i.e. Lineage/OmniROM/bootlegger/etc. features). If I did, I have to add and maintain them. I really have neither the time nor the inclination to do that. The only way to change my mind is if I was paid to do it, but I already have a well paying day job, so the paycheck would have to be very well worth my while (which is why I don't have a donote button, I really don't want to feel like I'm obligated to do this).

======================================

White screen with Google logo popped up for few sec and phone rebooted with following message:

Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.

In second attempt flashed stock ROM first, boot, enabled ADB, disabled automatic updates, boot to bootloader, then TWRP, did factory wipe, flash ROM and ends up with the same result.

Compiling my own vendor image using provided instructions doesn't look like something I'm eager to do.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
You should be able to use the vendor image off of the google website (AOSP drivers, not factory image), all you are doing is unpacking it and then agreeing to the terms of use. You can't use other ones because it trips secure boot. I hesitate to upload it because you have to agree to terms of use when you unpack it.

EDIT: I confirmed, the SHA-512 of the vendor.img off of the google website (AOSP, not stock) is exactly the same as the one I flashed (I.e. the compilation process does nothing to it). You do have to use the AOSP one, or else you trip secure boot.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gee one:
How are you getting the "device is corrupt message". I think that only shows up when your bootloader is locked. Are you sure it's not the orange message " device can't be verified"? You should only get orange or yellow messages. The red message means something is wrong- missing keys or bad/no signature.

I might be a little confused- I've been building and flashing so many variations, I can't keep them straight anymore.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
I compiled AOSP with the AOSP vendor.IMG, not the factory vendor.img . he is using the factory one, and that triggers the "device is corrupt" error he is getting. It's secure boot detecting the difference in vendor images
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gee one:
If you build it with the stock image as a prebuilt vendor image, the hash and info should be included in the vbmeta.img. The BoardConfigPartial.mk file has

BOARD_PREBUILT_VENDORIMAGE := vendor/google_devices/sargo/proprietary/vendor.img

which should add whatever vendor image you put in there to the vbmeta data.

However, if I recall correctly, building aosp with the aosp vendor images doesn't enable all the features. I think wifi calling and camera are broken on stock aosp.

There is a great tool for bringing the extra proprietary files into aosp. https://github.com/GrapheneOS/android-prepare-vendor

This will create a drop in replacement for the vendor/google_devices tree. I believe it also replaces the qcom tree as well.

Here is stock aosp built with help from the android-prepare-vendor scripts.

https://brownbagdinner.com/sargo-aosp-prepare-vendor_d6c76ce9.tar

This probably isn't gapps friendly, although there is a --full flag that will pull in more files that could help with gapps.

I don't think that you have to flash system_other.img, but it will probably speed up your first boot.

You can use "fastboot getvar current-slot" to see what slot you are on, and then flash system_other.img to, you know, the other slot with "fastboot flash system_<type in the other slot here> system_other.img"

You might have to wipe data if you are coming from a different rom, and you might have to reflash the stock vendor if you are going to a custom rom that is expecting the stock vendor.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
One of my next steps was to try the Graphene OS scripts to see how they work.

I am actually able to use WiFi calling and enhanced LTE on T mobile with the AOSP vendor image, and the camera works fine. If you are compiling AOSP yourself, you can also just swap out the vendor.IMG to the factory one.and recompile, it will do like you said.

I am trying also not to include every single.proprietary thing that is included, just what is needed for desired functionality. Several of them adds functionality for Google Play, and that can be added with openGapps.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pogo:
You are right. Once I extracted vendor.img from AOSP it booted!

I'm looking around, playing, installing... So far so good

Magisk and EdXposed are working ,Google camera is working after installing microG as well as my banking app, Netflix and all other apps I use.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
Glad to hear It! I didn't add the part to allow signature spoofing....I'm surprised MicroG works. That was something I was going to try.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pogo:
Signature Spoofing require FakeGApps2.apk which is Exposed module. However FakeGApps2 is throwing lots of NullPointerExceptions in EdXposed. If you add signature spoofing into ROM, this module won't be needed.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
OK. I haven't tried Exposed in a long time.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pogo:
My mobile provider has LTE. Mobile network in Status bar shows 4G+ (ok, no big deal).

In Mobile Network -> Advanced -> Preferred Network type, it also say 4G+ (again no big deal). However when I click to 'Preferred Network type' the available options are 3G and 2G. No 4G+, no LTE option.

The mobile speed is fine, it's definitely as fast as any other ROM.

Any chance to add eSIM into AOSP? I nave tried to install eSIM app from my backup, the app is there, but it won't show in the options (Settings->Mobile network->Advanced->Carrier)
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
I'm aware of the first issue, I have a feeling there's an app I need to add that I haven't yet.

I recall Gee One saying you need Gapps for the eSIM to work? I know AOSP is aware of it (if you go into reset -> network, it will ask to also wipe your eSIM).
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gee one:
Esim looks for gcs/google services otherwise it will force close.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gee one:
Oops, hit send too soon. Lineage has LTE as an option. I can't remember if I've ever seen it on aosp. I think yes, because WiFi calls are HD. I'll check when I'm home later.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
The AOSP one I compiled doesn't have that option. I was wondering if I didn't include a proprietary file to allow that. But it does give me enhanced 4G LTE mode (VoLTE) and it gives my WiFi calling, so I haven't made too hard of an effort to look.

If you know what it is I am missing that'd be great!
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pogo:
I have microG installed and eSIM Manager (pulled from Stock ROM) and it's not crashing.

However, I cannot start it. My guess is that some menu option is missing or has to be enabled in Settings.

If I search for eSIM in Settings it point to 'Carrier', but nothing happen when click on this.

If I try to start some of the eSIM Manager activities I'm getting "permission denied". Don't know if this help.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gee one:
Yup, that sound right. The menu has a toggle for 4G LTE mode, but the network type only allows for 3G/2G.

This is for aosp.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kop316:
https://mega.nz/#F!95wmSAJA!xE1eWAA68AsJax6C90pFxg

See if that get's it to work. I am not confident it will work without Google Play, but maybe?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pogo:
Should I just flash these 3 img files or there are more steps involved?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] droident:
You could try looking at the scrips on a fastboot ROM, copy+paste the contents of flash_all and see what succeeds via ADB. You may need to modify the lines somewhat.

I'd wait for a second opinion on that though before going ahead.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] fcanmekikoglu:
since your device is already unlocked;

1- Do the EDL Testpoint method with latest global fastboot release V11.0.2.0 and flash tool (WARNING: don't lock your device when flashing rom)

2- if you are getting weird flash errors, try using legacy usb ports on your pc, make sure your driver signature enforcement is off and all drivers are installed properly.

3- your first boot may take a while, if you booted into your OS properly, adjust your settings for flashing new recovery. after that its a simple process, here's a quick tip, after flashing your recovery just dont go straight system reboot, reboot to the recovery first by using -fastboot reboot recovery

What Jctatis says, alternatively you can delete the apps by ADB.

Then on your computer type adb devices to see if your computer can connect and adb shell to type commands in your device. Then type the commands Jctatis listed.

I'd keep the stock video player if you want to play HDR videos. It's the only app that I found that can play them properly, it can even play UHD bluray rips. VLC doesn't work as well. It's not a bad app.

Also removing yellowpages disables access to your contacts from the phone app. You probably want that. If not you probably want to replace the phone app as well. You can use google phone, it can be found on xda as apk, not play store.

IMO, just remove the obvious apps and don't touch services and other less obvious things that might be tied to something system related. All of it is reversible so just experiment.
