[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Accessories] huaweimate9pro:
Thank you, I tried this method but it didnt work, I extracted update.app and after I got RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img I did this

"To patch yourself recovery_ramdisk and root with your own file:

3.a) Patch your *.img, that you have copied in any folder to your smartphone by pressing "Install" --> "Install" --> "Patch boot image" in Magisk Manager.

4 Transfer the patched file (You will find it in your download folder of your smartphone. It will be called "patched_boot.img".) to your PC, start Smartphone in fastboot mode and flash"

But there is no file in this name "patched_boot.img", I saw magisk_patched.img, and I flashed it in fastboot, but nothing!

I think if there is anyone who can root it he will be such a hero because there is no solution in google!!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Accessories] H10N3:
You did the steps correctly so far.

If you have flashed the correct patched_boot.img then you need to reboot your phone into recovery mode and select "Factory Reset" and I know it sounds like a joke, but it is the way you have to do it.

If you have flashed the correct patched_boot.img correctly, you need to select "Factory Reset", the phone will pretend to be resetting, but will boot into rooted mode. If you have flashed the patched_boot.img incorrectly, your phone will reset to factory settings and you have to restart the root process.

The magsik root method for the Mate 10 Pro works for Mate 9 Pro, look in their thread and you will find all the correct steps where the explain the "factory reset" trick.

PS: You cannot use files for the Mate 10 Pro.
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Accessories] huaweimate9pro:
There is no patched_boot.img in the extracted update.app(new versions dont have it I think), but I found RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and I patched it by Magisk and then I used fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_ RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img, then>reboot to recovery mode>FR

But with no success!
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Accessories] H10N3:
You get the patched_boot.img when you run the extracted RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img through Magisk on your phone.

You have to extract the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from the update.app that matches your phone's software version.

Follow the guide here. (Whenever they mention RAM_DISK, you have to think RECOVERY_RAMDIS *RAMDIS not RAMDISK*)

https://openkirin.net/user_guide/how-to-install-magisk/

When they tell you: fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img

You have to type: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Accessories] huaweimate9pro:
OMG

I dont believe that I succeeded!!!

My phone is rooted now!!

I did the steps again, in the end I did a FR and reboot, then I was shocked when I saw "your phone is rooted"!

I really thank you soooo much

Now there is a serious question :

Is there any option to recover files( doc, pic, vid, aud) after a hard brick and new version and FR???

I tried more than one program and app but they found nothing!
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Accessories] H10N3:
I'm glad you made it.

I have learned over the years to use cloud back up for my important files and never EVER get attached to files stored on the phone. Last time I formated my phone I lost about 5 gig of hand picked mp3s that I now have to hand pick again.

Hello everyone,

I'm having a weird "issue" with my phone, whenever I put it on a table or a flat surface, it makes a sound similar to starting a recording, or charging. I don't recognize the sound. It's only happening when the phone is unlocked.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know what are the rules for uploading a video, but here is a google drive link to the video so maybe someone can recognize the sound.

[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] golfnz34me:
Hi all, I have a question; At my work we have very spotty coverage, so the lack of wifi calling is an issue for me. Is it possible to get wifi calling by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a lineage or RR ROM? If so, is there any reason I can't flash a custom ROM over the current version of stock firmware? (I have the H3223 model)

Also, if for some reason I can't flash a custom ROM, would it instead be possible to flash one of the European stock ROMs onto my phone and instead enabling wifi calling that way?

TIA

Mike
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] lonewolfbtown:
Kind of the price you pay when you buy an unlocked phone. It was a miracle that the xz premium got WiFi calling. So the odds of someone here building something that turns it on is slim. Custom roms might have the option in the menu but it's essentially a placebo on most roms
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] Spektor56:
I bought the phone from amazon and when I wiped it and put the stock freedom mobile rom on WIFI calling was available (and worked) for me. Now that i'm on lineageOS for the Android 10 stuff its gone again.

[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmevang:
I was using the RR ROM (don´t remember wich version) and someday the screen starts to froze often, I manage to go to TWRP and did the wipes and re-flash the ROM, but it got stucked in RR logo, until reboot to recovery. I tried to flash different ROM's, but no different results. So I flash the Stock ROM, the TWRP version that I found here in the forum, and it worked!! But then again I tried to install a custom ROM and it not load, I don't know what problem it could be. So if someone here have any ideas I really appreciate the help!
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E398:
Hoy. Did you tried to flash a stock rom with RSD lite? I always fully re-flash after a custom ROM. But imo custom roms don't sit well with Moto Maxx, they drain battery super fast. Back when mine was new i could get like 4 days of battery in the OEM rom, just debloated. With 6.0.1 i get at least one day, but with a custom rom i'm lucky if i get near that now.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Alaunus:
I updated the phone before realizing the thing about anti rollback protection Huawei did with their phones. After updating to 390 weird things like dev option not being remembered started happening. If for example I set the custom dpi to 400, after reboot it would restore itself back to 360. I've also had bugs like Accessibility permissions turning themselves back to off after reboot. I've tried factory reset and dload with 390 but problem still persists. I don't know if it matters but I can still unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and Magisk on the 390 update. Is there a way to rollback to an older version without bricking the device? Or maybe there is a way to fix the issues I am experiencing
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] AndyAndrei:
Yes, you can. If you have magisk and twrp already installed on b390 update then you need to boot the phone to erecovery to reinstall the stock version of update b390. After that rollback to b210 android 7 (emui 5.1) using hisuite. After that install the OTA update b360 or something like this on the phone, then you can do anything you want.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] horneepapi:
Hello all,

I'm really new to the phone modification scene. I tinker around with computers mostly. I have an unlocked sprint version of the LG v20, the only problem is I am not receiving data on my new carrier (even with the correct apn added). I'm pretty sure this is a firmware issue. I was wondering if there was a way to flash the us996 or verizon version of the phone to get data to work. I know the sprint version is super locked down. I just didn't know if using a modded version of LGUP and the us996 kdz would brick the phone or not.

Thanks and cheers,,

Hi, I bought my u12+ at a bargain price second hand like new ( what seller said ), as I'm one person that check things out, i found out that in download mode the phone say ( it's completely stock ): locked, production, pvt s-on but at the bottom SECURITY CHECKING FAILED DENY and this is not normal i think??

the other is that trying for fun antutu gave me a score of 291k ( latest pie ) but it's saying that MEM user experience score is abnormal ( 17k )

i read that this is the case when you install a custom kernel or disable fsync but how can it be as my phone is completely stock??
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Alan-B:
Hi,

If there is the message CHECK SAFETY FAILURE DENY, it is probably stock but unlocked and maybe root? You can always flash a stock RUU if there is a doubt.

PS: Is it marked UNLOCKED? if it is, it is unlocked.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] SIRKRA:
what is showing to me is the same as this thread ( photo ), https://xdaforums.com/u11/help/security-checking-failed-t3933030 , they stated that probably the phone was unlocked and then relocked before selling it ( ?? )

still cannot understand why i do have abnormal score in mem as it is locked and full stock
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Alan-B:
Hi,

The message is the same at home as it is Unlocked !! Or you have a micro SD card if a default and gives a problem test? There can also be a bug software? You can always go through a stock RUU and start again with a clean base.

PS: If it is ulocked it is displayed in red both in bootloader mode and downloade

What is GSI?

GSI stands for Generic System Image and will allow you to install an alternative ROM on your Galaxy A20?

No longer will we be restricted to the Samsung ROM.

These ones worked for me. If they don't work for you, go to the list of all GSIs. There are plenty to choose from. Select arm64 ab files.

Before you Start

1. Make sure your phone is rooted

For A20: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a20/how-to/root-samsung-galaxy-a20-rooting-guide-t3954872

For A30: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a30/how-to/root-galaxy-a30-magisk-canary-relaese-t3936481

Quick root and TWRP together for the A20: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a20/how-to/guide-quick-root-twrp-galaxy-a20-t4069423

3. Backup only 3 parts: boot, data & system (not system image) onto external SD or usb-otg. If something goes wrong you should be able to restore the phone using TWRP.

4. Also use SMS Backup and Restore so you don't lose your messages or calls.

5. Make sure your Ext SD card is Fat32. I've noticed that GSIs don't recognise ExFat.

Android 10 (Q)

1. Installation

1. Begin with stock ROM

2. Reboot into TWRP ( then mount product - system - vendor)

Back boot data and system

3. Wipe both caches, data & system

4. Install GSI

5. Flash Magisk and physwizz GSI kernel from here https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-physwizz-kernel-for-the-galaxy-a20.4180107/

6. Reboot.

2. Installing GApps

Some GSIs come with GApps. If you're doesn't and you want to have GApps, then use this method.

a.-Resize system partition so you can install OpenGAPPS, go to wipe, advanced wipe, select system, select repair or change file system and select resize file system. If you get error 1 unmount and mount the system partition and try again

b. Install GApps

3. Fixing Navbar

As soon as you boot up. Run Magisk and install this module.

View attachment 4850999

4. Android 10 Backup

Backup Data only (EvolutionX and Havoc 3.0 will do boot/data/system backup and restore),

5. Android 10 Restore

1. Reinstall GSI (a - h above)

2. Restore Data

3. Install GApps (if needed)

Reboot
