bad Web browser in ui

Hello,

I have a Chinese phone, ALPS P20 pro. Can someone help me finalize the image? The Chinese browser that I had suppressed came back. To clean the phone, I used adb with this code for almost every apk

cp /system/app/BootLogoSwitch.apk /data/app/BootLogoSwitch.apk && rm /system/app/BootLogoSwitch.apk

la rom : http & www letime.net/P20.tar.7z

Thank you

Is there any way to lock up the bootloader again on redmi y2 ?

Tried flashing global stable MIUI with mi flash tool with "clean and lock" selected. :confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 Questions & Answers] KackBarton:
Yes, sure remake the same procedure, with the same tool, to unlock the bootloader, and unlock it immediately. Once unlocked you can lock it and unlock it as many times as you want without waiting.
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 Questions & Answers] phantomhell:
Yep, select lock bootloader will lock your bootloader once flashing done

Htc tytn II.

It happened already once before two weeks and today again and i can't start my kaiser. First time i manage to start it somehow i don't even know how and i thought it won't happen again. When i push a start button only green color light appears on it, and nothing on screen. like it didn't start at all.

After that i can't do anything except soft reset which only shut down phone and green light gone then. Or take battery out! so i tryed everything later and now can't even start my phone anyhow!

I flashed rom in past and have some of dutty's rom in there

Please help me and tell me what is wrong with my phone and how to repair this problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserivica:
now i can't even get green light. now is completely dead. I am worried if i send it at service with warranty that they will see i have no official rom (i'm on dutty's)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] KD8DNS:
Flash it back to stock, all the details are in the wiki, you just have to read. Then you can warranty it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
If it is dead and won't start how are they going to find out you don't have a stock rom?

It is not like they have a bunch of brilliant guys sitting around HTC miraculously reviving dead phones. They through it in the dead phone pile and use it for parts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bubbleking2:
Could be a battery issue (highly unlikely as I havent really heard of this happening ever) but still, its possible. So, if you have a replacement battery try it out. Also, has it been water damaged, have you dropped it multiple times or has something hit it hard? These things could also brick a tilt, something like that happened to my friend when a door slammed his wizard.

I doubt its a software issue, a software issue would still allow it to turn on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserivica:
now i tryed again in the morning and green light on phone again works. but only it!

So it is now a battery issue then ?!

doesn't help anything else again. didn't had any hard hit in it. i was yesterday at Prodigy music concert so maybe there get some hit but it should not be anything seriously.. For the first time it didn't get any hit.. It was rainy here yesterday and i had it in my pocket, but first time when this happened it wasn't rainy, than it was on hard sunny day and for the first time i thought it was because of sun! Now was quite rainy and wet day...

hm. i have news now here, when i leave it on green light started for a longer period, i get those multiple lines colors on screen i see. it's approx. 10 colors lines... and it stays for a 10 sec. approx. and after that it shuts down itself! And now again i cant even get green color. Disaster!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserivica:
how to do that when i can't even start my phone to work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
I suggest trying another battery as was said before. Or it can be also broken screen or something.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserivica:
it's not broken screen because first time i somehow manage to start it and it works normal for 2 weeks.. so it must be a battery...

i will try with other battery later from friends kaiser
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
ok, let us know if that worked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserivica:
i tried with friends battery and it's not a battery problem. With his battery same problem, and when i put in my battery in his phone it works normal...

looks like I'll need to go to htc service using warranty... i hope it won't be some problem with them because i have dutty's rom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserivica:
argh... not good!

now i got phone call from servicer who manage to turn on phone. And he saw in there dutty's rom, not official and my warranty now won't worth

now everything what he will do with phone i will need to pay by my own money.

Now he started phone and he says that he will return it to official rom and see will phone work then normal. If not he said he should change whole mother board to fix this problem which is really huge expense. He told me price almost same as new kaiser!!! terrible!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserivica:
disaster, now i heard with service and the phone is not working well even with official rom now. I don't know what to do! He said he need to change motherboard and the cost for that is like new phone! Terrible. So, to be honest, this rom flashing is total mistake because could easy loose phone just like i do.

i would like to sell it but don't know how now because he don't work properly!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GWelker62:
That's the risk you take when flashing a non OEM rom. If the rom your using isn't worth that risk, then don't flash it.

I bet the rom you were using didn't cause the problem either.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
The problem can be or can not be caused by rom flashing. It could be just some hardware fault which has nothing to do with rom flashing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserivica:
i agree. i also don't thing it's because of rom flashing. probably some hardware failure...

but problem is when i can't start phone i can't change official rom offcourse

anyone know how much new motherboard cost and can i get it online somehow? here in croatia is not easy to find this because very few this phones are available... same with parts of this phone
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
dont know, but try to ask this question in kaiser accesories section.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Stock messaging app didn´t have this feature, you have to use a third party app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sr=ChGCAQ4KDHNjaGVkdWxlIHNtcw==:S:ANO1ljLbV5k and if at some time you switch to a Miui rom, messaging app has it.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mother_Teresa:
A quick and not complete response to get you going ;)

Plan 5 seems solid, unlock the bootloader to allow custom stuff. At boot you will get a warning screen to let you know.

I forgot if I only unlocked the bootloader or also the critical, try it etc.

Personally I never had to tinker with the A/B slots, within TWRP you can choose which to use.

Before Magisk, I used to flash another recovery like cwm or twrp but it is not required. You must however boot to twrp.img to flash the magisk zip.

As far as I know it is indeed the altering of the /system folder that denies future OTA (when using factory image). A manual flash (of future OTA) is easy but may require altering (removing) a switch command in the install.bat file to remove the -w (wipe).

As to the custom kernels, I never noticed the need and am running the latest v10 image with only Magisk flashed to get root.

My main goal is to get rid of ads. I use AdAway.

To get that to work in v10 you need to enable systemless host module im the Magisk manager app (reboot after).

A final feedback; when you get to sideload and need to get to recovery you may get the screen 'no command' or so; press volume-up and click power or power->click volume.

Let us know if you worked it etc!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] arismelachrinos:
I really cannot thank you enough for your time. I truly appreciate it very much.

1) Very clear.

2) Do you happen to have a link or do you know how to check if my phone supports unlock_critical? How can I check if I have that newer bootloader? Or do you remember where did you learn this?

3) Thank you so much about that. Very clear aand you just saved my phone :D

4) Very clear.

5) Thank you for the info! Interesting, I was searching on how to root the device running Android 10 (I have fully updated and I really am not going back to Android 9 :p ), and I saw that you have to patch your boot.img with the Magisk app, and then flash it with fastboot. So first you get the factory image from google and you extract the boot.img and insert it to the phone. Then you load it into Magisk app and patch it. Then moving the patched to the PC, booting to bootloader and flash it on boot partition. This is the way I saw on how to get root working fine with Android 10, not sure if it is the best method or the worst.

6) What do you mean with "go up to August"? Do you mean that the "oldest" image I can flash is "9.0.0 (PQ3A.190801.002, Aug 2019)"? So one cannot go back to 8.0.0 and Google has done something to prevent us from doing that? Also, if I wanted to go back to that August image or any "compatible", the procedure is just to run the flash-all.bat file of that image?

I used to experement a lot with custom roms, custom kernels and mods with my Sony devices, but that was mainly because I wanted stock android and some more features. The thing is that I have almost anything I need with this device, with some minor wishes. So I can leave without flashing custom roms and kernels, but I wanted to just root and at least install Adaway(!!!!!! I cannot leave with those ads!!!!!!), Titanium Backup and some other similar root apps that don't really do any harm. Have you tried rooting Android 10 and it was unusable? Do you suggest that it is not really worth it? The thing is that I love Android 10, the gestures and all the features, and I could not go back to Android 9, even though I only used the phone for a week, I am used to it and really like the way it currently is.

7)Hmm okay so I should not really mess with that. Maybe as I saw online, when flashing stock or unrooting, it is best to flash the same thing to both a and b slots, seems a bit complicated but whatever :p

Thank you for being so helpful!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
As [MENTION=4618389]simplepinoi177[/MENTION] said, I'm part of the community that just let's the factory image flash the slot it needs/wants to, and it's never once been an issue.

Look at it like this; some people prefer to simply copy/paste a link or block of text in the PC, some people prefer to CTRL + C then CTRL + V.... BOTH take you to the same end.

Plus, knowing me, the more I manually mess with Slot A vs Slot B, the more chance there is for me to screw something up :D

Best of luck with your 2 XL, it's a FICKLE device, but it's a really, really great device once you get it as you want it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] arismelachrinos:
Thank you all very much! I am pretty busy these days so once I find some time I will do more research and root it.

[MENTION=4618389]simplepinoi177[/MENTION]

I am not sure if your paypal address works, I felt like buying you a coffee earlier, the least I could do with all the time you spent explaining :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] arismelachrinos:
Oh forgot to ask some minor things,

to make a nandroid backup, I just send twrp.img via fastboot to the phone and boot into it and make it? And if I want to revert back I do the same and restore it?

Also if TWRP asks me the question about if I want to enable modification to the system, what do I answer? Either for the nandroid backup, the restore or for flashing magisk.zip? Do any of those require that enabled?

Lastly, I understood that just unlocking the bootloader alone can result in no OTAs. But, will I keep getting the security updates? I heared something about security updates that are frequently available from the playstore or something like that but I have the phone for less than a week and haven't gotten anything. No OTAs mean no security updates as well? Or they are irrelevant and I will keep getting those security updates once rooted?

I saw an ad on the side of a website one day talking about a government subsidized smartphone program from Q-Link. Here's a link to the page. I remember dealing with the ANS UL40 smartphone before that the government would hand out, and to say the least that thing was not very pretty. No updates, slow to the point of being unusable, and worst of all riddled with spyware (supposedly) that was sending data back to some random foreign IP address every so often.

I want to take on a similar project, albeit hopefully with better results. I don't have Q-Link or any of their smartphones myself, so I wanted to make this thread to let any users out there know that I'm willing to work with you to get root privileges on whatever phone they're shipping you guys.

QLink, Lineage 14.1 help!

I ported my good old Galaxy S3 running Lineage 14.1 over to QLink.

I didn't use the phone much because I was in Ting with limited everything.

Also no reception out here in the boonies.

So. It's awful. Everything is slow. Lots of freezing.

The GPS can be just plain ridiculous.

(TomTom Go and Google Maps)

Took me over a half hour to order bagels at Panera using Chrome.

Later, their app was just as bad.

Saw folk complaining about Lineage 14.1, same issues.

See folk complaining about QLink.

Any suggestions????

I have a new, never-opened Scepter 8 tablet, that QLink sent me. I've been looking for a way to improve the software on it, since I've read reviews saying that the pre-installed technology on it, is not worth the $10 you are asked for. I have no experience with trying to "flash Roms" onto a phone/ tablet, but I believe that is probably what I need to do, to get it operational.

However, I'm willing to either trade this for an unlocked phone, or sell it to anybody who wants it.

I don't need a tablet, and never asked for this one.

I do need a network-unlocked phone, that can be used with Mint Mobile, as nine's stuck in a continuous boot-loop.
