Oh... My bad, I forgot to add I want to activate my k20 pro so that I could unlock the bootloader and possibly install a custom recovery and install an updated english/custom rom.

Put simcard in, register the phone with Xiaomi in the settings, follow the unlock procedure, use the phone while you are waiting for the unlock permission.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] plskillme:
Yes, I've done that procedure until the register the phone with Xiaomi in the settings, there's a popup prompt that says can't activate sim card or locate sim card... I will try to activate it again when I reach home today and I will post a screenshot of the prompt.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] patoberli:
I think the phone needs to have a valid SIM card inside.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] plskillme:
Yes... About that, I have two working sim cards. There are only two telcoms here in Qatar, and both my sim cards are from both of those two telcoms. Not sure why I'm still getting that prompt, hence, the ruse to make this thread of mine asking for phone activation help. I tried again yesterday, with both sim cards on the phone - not working, still same prompt. With a single sim card, either of each - not working. At this point, I'm willing to just shell out cash to avail of the new OP7pro McLaren edition if I had extra cash :silly:

If you don't have a Mi account create one online on the Mi website.

If you already have you log in to it.

Go to the security settings and manage your email and telephone details.

Make sure you have added the phone number of one of your sims and that you have verified it. They will send an OTP text.

On your phone make sure the SIM now linked to the Mi account is in the phone in slot one, leave slot 2 empty, just to keep things simple, go to the settings and to Mi account settings. Make sure the Mi account connected to the phone is the one from above.

Now make sure you've enabled developer settings then go to the developer options and unlock status. Then start the unlock process. Just hit the button on that page.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Mietschein:
Is that even possible ? I have a rooted SM-G965F (EU chip), which I set up from scratch - OEM unlock, flashed the then-current stock ROM, flashed TWRP, installed Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt. Ended up happily with a current, rooted phone in factory conditions.

But it's been a while, and there have been plenty of updates for the phone, including critical security changes. I would like to put a newer stock/system on it, but I would prefer not to have to reinstall and reconfigure all my stuff. But the process I followed suggested that repeating it would force me to delete everything on the phone again (due to the encryption issues).

Is there a way for me/someone with a rooted phone to update to a current/newer ROM without losing all settings and such ? Naturally, I want the new ROM to be rooted again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Mietschein:
Still looking for advice with this
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
In general if you are going to upgrade your firmware you will have to start over again. IE: Twrp, Root etc..

In regards to apps and data do a backup first.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
yes, just flash the HOME_CSC in twrp and you wont lose any settings. Might loose root, but its easy AF to fix

uhm, not at all man. the home_csc negates what you said
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Mietschein:
I'm mostly worried about drive encryption, or whatever that is called exactly. I (had to, I think) disable it when I originally rooted, and in the process it wiped my entire phone (which I was fine with). I'm worried that if I update the firmware, it will re-enable encryption, and then when I root again, it will get wiped again. Is that a concern, or am I worried about nothing ?

Also, as for backups, I use Titanium. Is that still a good idea ? I bought it ages ago and don't know if it's still current.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
If you update your firmware it will re-encrypt your phone. If you do want to install twrp and root then the formatting will have to be done again. You can do this first then restore your backup.

Titanium backup should be fine ( I have it but don't use it,also have the pro version ). Just download latest version from playstore it was last updated April this year.

What ever your backup method keep it on your sd card or computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
Well, I thiiiiiink the forced encryption is enabled on the kernel and only happens when you allow the phone to boot.

So, in THEORY you can update via Odin, and IMMEDIATELY after you flash stock updated firmware via Odin, flash TWRP and immediately boot to TWRP before you give the phone time to boot. And flash the encryption remover again and also root zip and then reboot. But I think it will still wipe your apps clean.

To make this whole process easier, disable auto-reboot in Odin so that you can manually reboot your phone and be ready to boot to download mode immediately. If you get anywhere past the splash screen (black screen after it or bootanimation) you can consider your phone encrypted again. So I would practice catching download mode a few times after a forced reboot before you attempt all of this lol

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

So, just to cover all bases, this is what you do:

->Boot to download mode

->Disable auto-reboot from Odin

->Flash updated firmware in Odin

->After its finished, you should get PASS in Odin but the phone does not reboot

->Manually reboot your phone and immediately after you see the screen turn off, press the buttons to enter download mode again

->Make sure auto-reboot is still turned off in Odin

->Flash TWRP

->Manually reboot your phone and immediately after you see the screen turn off, press the buttons to enter TWRP

->Flash the encryption remover and the root zip

->Quite honestly, I'd recommend a normal wipe to maximize battery life and performance on the new firmware

Good luck.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Ruka82:
Hi to all, in the last two months i'm trying to update my mi pad 4 plus from Havoc 2.7 to a new verion.

Updating to havoc 2.8 from ota apparently works but then gmail, calendar, note cannot sync and give errors.

I have tried a clean flash, wiped data/system/vendor/cache, formatted internal data, no differences, on the first boot after setting the wifi connection the tablet stay constantly on "Checking for udpates" and no way to go on.

i tested different roms (PixelExperience, Havoc 2.8, Omnirom) but from the august updates nothing works, the only rom is working is the 2.7 Havoc of july (restore backup or clean flash).

I tested every possibile combination, with or without gapps (tried different version and always checked the md5), with or without root but no difference.

When i have writed in differente thread this problem they always answer me to "go back and change wifi", check and re-download rom but also after check this no differences, always hangs on the first "Check updates".

If i skip the wifi connection the tablet try to start but immediatly say "no connection".....

Someone have the same problem and know eventually how to fix?

Thanks

good morning. please is there a way for activate this function? i don't find it even if i already updated to last version. i see only display always turned on but this is not always on display....

perhaps is impossible to read in screen off only the notifications when arrive and i understood bad?

if i keep display always on, the battery drains, this is not always on display...

i hope a answer.

thanks
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] Emare212:
display always turned on is your always on display. It just means a part of the display is always on. It's an AMOLED Panel, so the phone can turn on/off every single pixel for itself. Also every black pixel is off, so only the pixel, which are turned on need to be lighted. Therefore it doesn't drain the battery too much.

The Path is: Settings > Home Screen & Background (or similar, 3rd point) > Display always active

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] demonizator:
Hi,

Since I've never had Windows Mobile device before but planning to get the recently announced Touch Pro I'm wondering how it'll handle SIM services.

The thing is that I'm using a special service with my provider that allows me to have two lines with different numbers on one SIM card. That way I can always receive incoming calls to both lines and switch between them two for outgoing calls.

I know that when I switch lines via the SIM menu it kind of resets the phone for a sec and registers again with the selected line. It works perfect with my Symbian N73 but how the Touch Pro will handle this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
I doubt that many people would know. You need to find someone else who has a WM device and the same special SIM service...

Perhaps you could create a thread about the special SIM service on the 'General' forum, in order to attract the attention of more users.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:

[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] ramrstf4:
Hey guys! Been running fRomFuture build 201 on my VKY-L09 and haven't updated in like one year.

Right now the phone is on the june 2018 security patch and I cannot update. I would like to go back to stock.

I have tried like a dozen methods last night: HWOTA, HURUpdater, HiSuite, FunkyHuawei's unbrick tool etc. I think I am missing something here.

FH's unbrick tool does not go past the "wait 5 minutes" step, it just hangs.

The HWOTA... Well I changed the script a bunch of times for it to work properly but it seems that it flashes TWRP, then boots to it and waits for ADB and hangs. If I interfere with ADB and kill-server and start-server, the daemon cannot start any more. I tried like 3 separate twrp versions because of that and think it might actually be my adb to blame.

Saw a bunch of guys explaining how to do the dload method, but didn't manage to actually try it out.

The secret menu code method just does not see the UPDATE.APP file.

I am lost and desperate.

Can anyone please let me know what I am missing? Am I using the right build? Or is there a specific build I should be flashing to replace this old rom I am stuck on? FirmwareFinder said that most of the ones I tried were approved for install. For instance B185

P.s. the DNS method fails because my router is PPPoE and has the upstream WAN settings all greyed out. The FH Connectify method is utter crap and won't work. Traffic gets routet to a dead end if I change any dns settings.

Also HiSuite says that it can't fix my phonr lmao.

Phone can boot in fromfuture, I can install twrp on it, I just dunno how to get back to stock.

:confused:

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] soulcrusher:
It (most likely) doesn't automatically changes the handling but it can be changed with a few registry changes. My 16-key dual sometimes has a bug wich makes it to handle like a 20 key version, so you (should) be able to combine any version of dual with any rom.

The two keypads are interchangeable. With the 16 key version, the 4 buttons on the right and left side actually have 2 connectors but they only use the inner ones because the other ones are for the 20 key version;)
