[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] BJozi:
I'm not sure I fully understand.

So I've unlocked my bootloader, I'm about to flash Twrp and a custom rom such as Pixel Experience or Havoc.

Am I right in saying this will have broken it already?

Before flashing I should backup everything in Twrp, I can then reviver only the persist part after flashing a room and things will be as normal but with a different rom?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] isman77:
I made a backup of ALL partitions (including the partition persist) 3 months ago that I transferred to my PC and that I later deleted, if I manage to find it with software like Recuva and restoring with TWRP, would it work?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] gazza1888:
I would say yes if you have the original files, you can try with those, if flashing from stock ROM that didn't belong to your phone then it won't work.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] riotp100:
how did you flash persist.img? i dont use netflix anyways and same thing happened to me that happened to you, i just want to get persist.img back, help?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] bihariel:
I also lost it for the same sensors fix reason.

Has anyone tried restoring a twrp backup from a working L1 device?

Can someone with untouched persist that still has L1 upload a twrp backup of their persist partition, please?

It probably won't work as the l1 keys are linked to each device individually but we lose nothing for trying.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Benfatica:
Have flash any persist image from the fastboot ROM?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] bihariel:
Yep, that's what I did. I didn't know that would break L1 but I wasn't using it anyway.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Benfatica:
Then it's gone, you can't fix it
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] bihariel:

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Benfatica:
Yes.

Hello,

In your opinion does the xiaomi warranty take care of this problem?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] :
Hi, so did you get it fixed through service center?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Ashish_PVS:
I lost my L1 somehow so now can i restore it from fastboot rom by flashing that persist.img??

Can anyone tell me if that's a good idea or not!!!
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] RedNas74:
Widevine L1 is tied to the persist.img that your phone came with. If you lost it and you did not backup the persist.img the phone came with, it's gone. You can't get it back. So flashing persist.img from a fastboot ROM won't work.

If you replace the BG.png file in your Spb Black 47 installation directory with this BG.png, you get this skin. It's not a perfect diamond but it does match better.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ivanrcks95:
Hello everyone, so ive had my S8 for two and a half years now, and when my 2 year warranty ran out i decided to experiment and play around with rooting/roms. I never quite managed to ever root my phone properly, as it always soft bricked, still not sure why, but irrelevant now. Since then my phone still thinks that its rooted (even though it isnt), im pretty sure this is due to the Knox fuse being tripped. It doesnt really bother me as i can still use my phone for everything i ever need, and it gets official updates from Samsung monthly (even got One UI on time), however, the one thing i am desperately missing is the contactless payment. My question is, is there a way to maybe trick, or bypass the google root check to set up contactless payment again? I have seen people saying you can if your phone is rooted, by editing some build files, however, since i have never managed to properly root this phone, is there another way? Cheers for any info/help.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] nstemi:
Hi everyone. i m from turkey and i have a moto z. Before 2 months i installed lineageos on my moto z. And then i try to back stock rom. And when i install stock nougat phone get android 8 update. And installed it. When update is installing my phone is hardbricked. And gonna on qualcom bulk mode. i cant do anything. Then i send my phone to technical services. They sayed me it is out of warranty we cant do anything. And they didnt do anything.

When i got my phone i try to blankflash it is worked. and now i can go in fastboot mode.

but i cant flash recovery. i cant flash stock rom. i cant do anything. i tried lenovo moto smart assistant but it give

"failed to match the connected device. Please plug it out, and try again."

here is fastboot getvar all command result.

i know it is a really big problem. cause the imei result is only 00000 =/

Please for god sake help me.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Faheem1234:
Het buddy, I don't think it is a big problem. what I suggest you to do is download Moto z oreo firmware from here( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836283516). Just Download it. And manually flash this with Adb and fastboot. What I believe is this the problem is with the partition table, so you must Install that gpt.bin file. But only flash these file :

1) fastboot flash partition gpt.bin (If it shows partition:slot:not flound , just don't worry)

2) fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img(Even in this)

3) fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

4) fastboot flash Bluetooth BTFM.bin

4) fastboot flash boot boot.img

5) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

6) fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0(upto 14)

7)fastboot erase carrier

8)fastboot erase cache

9) fastboot erase ddr

I believe it may help you. Just give it a try.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] nstemi:
i downloaded and tried.

when i try "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" the result is

i cant flash anything because oem is locked after blankflash. u can see from photo. it gives remote fialure to every thing.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Faheem1234:
It is because the firmware file is a month old from your current firmware. So showing remote failure is still a good sign. What you have to do is flash every thing what I have provided you and when you start to flash the system.img just send me the log of the result. Because you won't find the firmware of your current version on the whole Internet. So keep Flashing
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] nstemi:
this is the result
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Faheem1234:
Try to unlock your bootloader. First.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] nstemi:
My dear brother. Bootloader locked automatically when I used blankflash. And I can't unlock it now. I tried but can't.

What a hopeless situation =(
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] nstemi:
Plase help me. I believe there is still some hope...
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] buffer139:
There is hope!!!

(bootloader) Security version downgrade means you are trying to flash an older firmware and this is not allowed. All you have to do is find the exact variant you have and then download the latest firmware with the exact version of bootloader.

After this first try to flash gpt.bin file from the firmware folder. if this flashes correctly then it means that your firmware is exactly same.

After this flash firmware and all will be okay.

Note 7 pro got official support only after about half a year. Probably we will have to wait for a while.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] HTCDevil:
Hi all,

I have read about how to install Twrp, with method described for flashing roms, but i need twrp only for flashing mods eventually and nothing more, and i need to receive ota.

Which is the simpliest and secure way?

Boot.img method or fastboot slot a/b?

Hope i was clear enough and thanks all in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
In theory, you could:

- fastboot flash boot twrp.img (do NOT allow system modifications)

- fastboot continue or fastboot reboot (it is being mentioned that continue command is to be used on A3, though not sure why)

- do the magic in twrp

- fastboot flash boot stock_boot.img

- fastboot continue or fastboot reboot

- use the phone and install OTA when it arrives

However, I can't imagine what kind of mods do you want to install in TWRP. Any system modification will prevent OTA installation (even mounting system partition as R/W) and also can prevent booting up the phone (dm-verity). Most mods these days are systemless via Magisk. TWRP on Mi A3 is useful mainly for making (and possibly restoring) backups, installing custom ROMs and troubleshooting. For everything else you have Magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] HTCDevil:
Thanks for reply, really appreciated. Twrp grant you to mount system (for example with fonts) and then umount without issue with ota if you restore boot image, in theory.

Thanks again, maybe i use magisk but i use banks app and i don't want root
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Nope, won't work. OTA update engine checks system partition metadata hash, if it doesn't match, it won't continue with the installation. Just mounting system partion as R/W will change its metadata. With banking apps you'll have more luck with Magisk than without for a simple reason, unlocked bootloader will fail the Safetynet test. Magisk can hide bootloader status, root and itself. Only a very few apps can detect Magisk (mostly with controversial "undocumented" methods).

Btw. fonts replacement is a perfect task for Magisk, there are already modules ready for this.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] HTCDevil:
Thank you again, you are right, probably magisk is more secure than if you haven't it once bootloader is unlocked
