Slightly off-topic, does locking the BL and flash the stock ROM enough for the warranty to be "valid"?

does anybody using custom kernel have this issue ? I'm thinking to flash Hex kernel might solve the issue

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Phil_Smith:
Did you already clean your usb port?

You can carefully do that with a toothpick or something.

Sounds a little silly, but really there could be a lot of dirt in there. Resolved many connection and charging issues that way already.

Hi thanks for the suggestion but the port look clean to me. I borrowed my brother Pocophone charger somehow it keeps on off with the charge, but when i used mine its fine

Download the zip, extract it, then go to orange fox recovery and make a backup of your current rom. Then boot your current rom and copy the extracted file into Fox>backup>folder>another folder then delete the existing files and paste the copied files and then from the recovery restore the backup.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

Recovery and back up your old ROM on micro SD card not internal storage. Format data as need clean partition to flash this or will get password at boot. Extract ROM zip on PC and copy to backup folder in twrp on phone. Then wipe all as stated restore as stated and it will boot

Sorry, this is just a hobby, as I retired my mm2s due to missing USA frequency bands.

2>haven't experienced

3>Not needed, I have a light on my cord.

4>Try headphones ( I haven't, But some report they work )

5>Flash gapps, or install what you like.

6>I don't use phone alarms, If I'd need one, I use my smart watch, or Id use alexa.

Keep in mind most phones don't have a booting A10,

I did what I could on an ancient Asus 901 eee pc netbook.

When time and system resources permit, I will try to fix it up a bit.

But honesty relying on our friend, Mohzuned (Scissordragonboy) , when he finds time, He has access to a super computer, But also he's working on many projects.

Write us an update kernel/vendor yourself, or donate cash towards a computer and it would look better..... FASTER.

In the meantime, consider having patience, most older systems don't even have android 10 booting with RIL. And you realize we don't get paid for our time.

I'm glad to hear about this development, it would be awesome to have a nice Android 10 ROM working on the Mi Max 2, considering how smooth Android 9 still runs on it.

I think people could use Smartphones for a much longer time period if the OS would be updated regularly and if you can replace the battery without much trouble. Got my Mi Max 2 for two years and ideally I would like to keep it for many more years ?

So yes, Android 10 is there for MM2.

Impressions:

Smooth but,

Too much buggy, but shoutout to [MENTION=5843988]liammc83[/MENTION] for carrying out this project.

The booting ROM ok, but camera crashing and maybe included zip file will gapps, or just direct custom ROM zip with twrp would be awesome, because,

While booting via recovery using those three files,

It was asking for the password after booting up,

And even if done via external SD it is asking for Password.

After removing the password from TWRP, the OTP's for two way authentications from Google, Facebook, Insta apps are not reverting back. This happened every time, whenever TWRP passcode is removed. Calling out to every developer, Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] liammc83:
Once you restore, I'm going to guess your using treble twrp or orange fox recovery ?

You need to only format the data partition, type yes to format.

If possible take a pic from another phone, Because if formatting the data partition isn't working, I'm a little confused to the error without seeing it.

Hi, new to this device flashing.

shivaraj.khangembam, i personally made a mistake, orange fox let you format data only in the mount section, once you type "yes".

And to everybody, i am having issues trying to connect to a hidden wifi network, i added in the menu, and even go in to try to connect manually, but it can't connect. I had the same issue with a pie rom for a different device, so it might be a bug or just me, anyone trying this rom, could verify? Great job on the rom by the way. Greetings!

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] phoneissue:
lg v40 at&t and sprint have the same model number: lg-lmv405ua.

is https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv405ua-firmwares/ for att or sprint?

the spec from the above link:

It does not mention cdma support and also missed all the key sprint frequency, so i assume it is for at&t only?

and where can i download the sprint stock rom (android 8 or 9)?

What's the best way to completely turn off/remove zen mode to save me some battery life?

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] highonhelium:
I don't know about a best way, but I have a way. I used a couple Magisk modules, Debloater (Terminal Emulator) which needs Busybox for Android NDK.

You use the terminal as root with Debloater, and disable the Zen Mode app. This removes the notifications and disables updates for the app as well.

Seems like a decent solution to me, but I'm sure there are others.

Sir, I have a Redmi Note 4 device, two years old. I'm having some hardware issues with it like power button doesn't work anymore, one of the speakers is not working.

The phone has switched off couple of times, but I managed to turn it on with pressing a specific part of the power button. This time, it's not working.

I surfed on the Internet and found a solution by using FASTBOOT mode. I did as instructed -

I pressed the volume down button and plugged the USB cable of my phone to my PC.

The fast boot mode showed up and now, whatever i try, it' s stuck there.

Please sir, need you help ASAP.
