[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] raffaels:
Hi, I am a noob and have 3 questions.

1-) Can you update it like OTA or do I need to flash every time and lose my stuff.

2-) Can I use device encryption?

3-) I forgot it, sorry.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Makishima:
Why does it ask my sd card to be formatted even when I choose to use it as Portable Storage?

Otherwise it's great!
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] garylawwd:
Just swipe away the notification. It only comes up on first boot.

Same as booting any Android on first boot it always asks what you want to do with sd card
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Makishima:
But I can't access it. Neither in MiXplorer nor can I point PowerAmp to my library which is on there.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sotmax:
Because you probably didn't set it up. Go to storage and set it up to be able to use it. Select portable storage
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Makishima:
As I said above, it asks me to format it even when I select portable storage.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sotmax:
Hmm.

That's odd.

Try to put the sd card at pc and see if it's working. If for some reason says that need fix do it and pray to be ok (only for your data).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Makishima:
Well, seems it was corrupted somehow, didn't show up on the pc either, so I formatted it and am currently setting it up again (64gb of selected music:crying:)... Not the ROM's fault anyway. Thanks.

How to flash by fastboot method? The .bat isnt available in fastboot rom. What do I do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RChadwick:
I had a LG Stylo 4 that had MetroPCS firmware, and wanted to flash T-Mobile software. All the usual things I tried didn't work, but then came across a patched program that did, but wiped out the IMEI, and I learned after the fact I was supposed to make a backup (Which I didn't). I found a hidden menu that let me change the Wifi MAC, but it wouldn't let me change the IMEI. I came across methods where you supposedly make a backup of the phone, edit it with a hex editor, and flash it back, but the directions weren't for the Stylo 4, and there were differences, and I wasn't able to make it work. Has anyone been in my situation, and found a solution?

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Soapy!:
I seem to have hard bricked my 9T after flashing the MIUI 11 rom from xiaomi.eu. I think culprit is a totally botched/corrupted boot loader and I have no idea how it happened. I've tried reflashing back to stock through stock image .bat files, but no dice. It flashed everything but the device still refuses to boot past the MI screen. If I try to boot into TWRP, my device gets stuck at the TWRP splash screen, no matter which version it is. Does anyone know what I can do or try at this point? Thanks.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Arif Ferdian:
So do I, first time I successfully instal first beta v25 miui 11, and than when the v26 comes, stupidly, i flash it from twrp, it tells me that i succeed installing that zip, and than i wipe art and cache and reboot system, but what next i know, my phone brick, i can not instal anyrom, from mi flash tool, or from anywhere. I did everything and still can not fix the problem.

Anyway, you still can enterin TWRP UI, after waiting about 10 to 30 minutes, because after intalling that rom, automatically your data format change from ext4 to f2fs, and twrp will need a lot of time to read your disk.

But, even after doing anything in twrp, still can not make my phone successfully boot into system.

And theres moun I/O error everytime i tried to wipe everything, or fix disk, or change disk format. Everything... and i just dont know what to do anymore.

So may be you can wait patiently until you can entering twrp ui, and please lemme know if you know how to fix this problem
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] flamedrops:

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Benfatica:
I had the same problem with a miui 10 weekly beta but unfortunately I wasn't able to fix it but lucky me my phone was still in a return period so I returned it back to Amazon and got my money back since then I have always stayed away from beta ROMs . I tried everything but it wasn't booting pass the mi logo as you said
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Arif Ferdian:
Ahhhh yes, i was thinking to using my guaranteed card, as i still can relock bootliader with mi flash tools, already trying anything for couples day with zero result, and im giving up hahaha
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] flamedrops:
did you really reboot it using adb reboot twrp? and reboot system on twrp using twrp cn version?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Arif Ferdian:
Yap [MENTION=6230549]flamedrops[/MENTION] i already do, and even tried all the TWRP version that exist, and also reflash many Rom, from stock, eu, ct, aosp, miui 11 25, miui 11 26, i flash from adb sideload, from twrp via usb otg, via miflash tool,

I flash boot.img, etc

Still no result.

Already tried everything that i could thinking about
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Arif Ferdian:

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Arif Ferdian:
[MENTION=2372423]mvha[/MENTION] just go into fastboot mode, and flash persist.img from stock fastboot rom,

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] LucasGMF:
I can't access recovery mode, bootloader or even the phone.

ROM: AOSP Extended

Device: Lenovo Vibe K5

Model: Lenovo A6020I36

Region: Brazil

Summary: Phone blocked by password. Can't access bootloader, recovery mode or flash it on ODIN on PC or ADB fastboot it. I'm moderately experienced but I've never encountered something like this.

The password is one I've set a long time ago for recovery, and I gave it to an uncle of mine, however he told me he blocked the password so, this old password of mine got back, and it's been five years or so, so I can't remember it.

I've tried booting/recovery/hard-resetting in the following methods:

USB didn't recognized the device. (It was only charging)

Use the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant, failed. It asked to go to recovery, and it didn't recognized.

Used the Samsung Kies, it didn't recognize the device.

Used ODIN, but it didn't recognize.

Used ADB fastboot, it didn't recognize.

Tried resetting through Google Find My Device (https://www.google.com/android/find?u=0), but there was no option. I guess the GPS must be activated, but I can't activate it.

I downloaded the device's drivers, but it did no changes.

That's it. I'm acepting all sugestions, whether it is hard-reset, or if possible, regain acesss without deleting all the archives.

Thank you all for your help.

What happens when you try to boot into bootloader?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] LucasGMF:
Nothing happens, I tried all possible variations, in case I was pressing the wrong buttons, but nothing happens. I can't boot into bootloader, nor download mode.

I tried choosing MTP option on dialer, but I need the code for Motorola phones first, and even to look if my phone has such a thing. I found one, but it was for Samsung, though, *#0808#.

Sorry for the late reply, uncle was travelling.

Thanks.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] LucasGMF:
Searched for lenovo dialer codes, found it. --> https://mobilespecs.net/phone/codes/Lenovo/Lenovo_Vibe_K5_Plus.html.

However, after testing, the codes won't work in Emergency Call mode, tested with my own phone too. So, I can discard this idea.

[HTC Typhoon] humano:
Hi,

I bought 2 new boards on ebay and they sent me the typhoon boards perfectly protected in a plated bag.

I have connected 2 displays and the batteries but when you switch them on the displays are in white.

Do you know what the problem could be? Same problem on both phones.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Typhoon] humano:
Now i know what the problem is.

The display connector is very small and you have to insert the flexible part of the display perfectly without pushing too much. Sometime you have to try many times but it works. The display has 2 stickers to fix the flexible band and avoid movements.

hi

I am using windows mobile 6.1 on my asus p525 and want to change it to wm5.

I copied the cab file and autorun file.

when i run the file and click system/ROM Update it says, "cannot find the extended ROM partition".

how can i solve this problem?...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] starkwong:
You cannot use the official method for restoring back to WM5.

You have to extract the nb0 file from the cap, then use the emergency flash mode to flash back to WM5. (Note: You need to flash 2 times in order to get the partition size correct)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrahamrhs:
Hey, i recently bought a second hand Nexus 6 because i wanted a daily driver with custom rom and magisk, thing which is virtually imposible in my main phone (S10) so i thought the nexus will do great, the phone isnt running so bad but i think it could be better so i installed Carbon ROM and runs nice but it has some weird lags on the UI and some apps, i know this is an old device but i think it can run better, what ROM or thing can i do to get it at his best right now? Im planning to buy a new battery since i dont know how old it is (if anyone can tell me how many hours should last or SOT it could get the battery in great condition will be appreciated)

I'm planning to install the last system image from google (i dont remember the version it had when i changed the ROM) and then install LineageOS 16, that will do?

Thanks in advance for the help, i really llke this phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicKip:
I have recently replaced my battery and a full charge lasts me a day with multiple hours sot. Sadly I don't have an exact number sot for you.

Currently I'm using Colt OS but I think you'd be fine using any any of the big roms. Some need a few reboots to stop the lag (or so I've read, I haven't had to do that yet). So just try some out until you find what works for you!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donz7733:
To reduce lags,

- You can reduce the resolution to 720p if you haven't already tried it (Display will appear blurry, but it will make the UI smoother)

- Try some Kernels/Kernel Manager and experiment with the provided options (May reduce the Battery backup)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrahamrhs:
How do i reduce the resolution? How it runs on 1080p?

Well i wanted to try a custom kernel but all of them are quite old, which kernel do you use?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
SOT: I would say between 2 and 6 hours, depending on how you use the phone - around 4 hours typically.

Lags: it's common to have extra lag the first few days after installing a rom, until background optimizations are finished.

Otherwise, the worst lags occur if the phone has to reload the launcher or app, because of shortage of ram. Then you get delays of a few seconds.

Ram handling can be modified slightly by tweaking system parameters, but it cannot change that 3 GB just isn't a lot today.

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

As to whether you should replace the battery:

If you start getting sudden power offs when at, say, 30% charge, then you need to replace. That is what usually happens with a weak battery on this phone.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicKip:

I'm keeping my devices updated as possible, and those security patches can be irrelevant for most people, but it's your choice and i'm personally using many financial instruments on mobile, banking apps, even some cryptocurrency wallets, so i'm feeling a little bit more comfortable with latest security patches, and of course "unlimited thanks" to people who keep this device alive :highfive::)

After rooting ofc
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RangerVegas:
I thought about posting this on the newbie post but since there is more than one question, and some of this isn't really for newbies I thought i'd just make a new thread.

So i've had this phone for a few years now. I'm on Consumer Cellular with a TMobile sim card and it's been working fairly good lately. I am wondering if anyone has had the "automatic disabling 'caller id and spam protection' on reboot" bug fixed by the latest security update for the phone for them? As for me it still does it, so curious to know if it was fixed yet for anyone in the US.

Also lately I have been starting to think about possibly replacing the battery on the phone, I haven't noticed a significant power capacity decrease on the phone yet but since I'm a bit paranoid and never seem to let my phone get to less than 50% before charging it I'm sure if I had a power graph of when I first got the phone vs now it would probably show some kind of capacity loss. :) I know there are a few good places that can sell you a battery and a toolkit along with a new waterproofing seal and have a step by step video of how to do it and since I do have some electrical troubleshooting background I figure it won't be too difficult. But today I saw some guy inside the back of a galaxy s8 and he was using metal tweezers in there and all my old electronics training was just screaming "NOOOOO" LOL so I'm wondering what anyone who knows more about current electronics with this phone; their opinion of doing this is? Bear in mind he also still had the battery inserted in the phone. LOL.

Also I have a question about the specifications of fast charging vs slow charging are for this phone? I can't seem to find any consistent information about what this phones software considers fast vs slow charging as far as available power, and I've noticed I never seem to see the fast charging notification when I have it hooked up to a USB 3.0 port on my computer; and depending on how you interpret the information I've been able to find about what the available power is for a USB 3.0 port, depending on the item connected to it, it could be anywhere from 300 to 900mA available apparently from what I'm seeing but I may be misinterpreting the information I am seeing. Right now the only judge I have other than seeing the "Fast Charging" indicator is I have Ampere and it says that while hooked up to my USB 3.0 port and with most apps off as in not showing in recent apps in that form of standby mode, I am seeing it at anywhere from 330 to 380mA when I activate the screen until it recalculates and goes back down to about 330mA. Also I do know my MB has at least USB 3.1 firstgen from the MB specs. I'm not sure if it's drivers that limit it above that or if it's the actual chipset itself.

Thanks for any info about these questions.
