[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] haslersn:
I used my Xiaomi Mi 6 for 2 years with LineageOS 14 and afterwards for two weeks with LineageOS 16.0 (2019-10-27-nightly). Then suddenly I couldn't successfully unlock my phone anymore: Upon entering the correct pattern, the unlock screen appears again after about two seconds. That is, I have an unlock loop. Upon entering the wrong pattern, it says “Wrong pattern”.

My only goal is to recover data from the internal storage (/data/media), which is encrypted. One way to recover the data would be to fix the issue and then simply download the data over MTP.

Failed fix attempts

In my attempts to fix the issue, I used the TWRP “Wipe” feature. As far as I know, this should touch neither the internal storage nor any encryption keys.

When I “Wipe” and install LineageOS 16.0 or 17.0, with or without GAPPS (in any combination), then I always have the same unlock loop issue.

When I delete/rename /data/system/{gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key, locksettings.db}, “Wipe” and install LineageOS 16.0 or 17.0 without GAPPS, then I have a black screen instead.

When I delete/rename /data/system/{gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key, locksettings.db}, “Wipe” and install LineageOS 16.0 or 17.0 with GAPPS, then I can select the language, press “Start” and it will say “Please wait” forever.

Upon starting the device, I can always enter the SIM PIN and after that, said issue arises.

Other Observations

Upon booting into TWRP, It asks for the pattern in order to decrypt the internal storage. When I enter the correct pattern, it says that the pattern is wrong. The corresponding log output is:

I:Set page: 'decrypt'
I:Set page: 'decrypt_pattern'
I:Set page: 'trydecrypt'
I:operation_start: 'Decrypt'
I:Decrypting FBE for user 0

using secdis

failed to unwrapSyntheticPasswordBlob
I:Set page: 'decrypt'
I:Set page: 'decrypt_pattern'

When I boot into TWRP and try to adb pull /sdcard (which is where /data/media/0 is also mounted), then I get:

adb: error: failed to copy '/sdcard/cc9DXwGyPKT6pTZhb2pw6C/tcamnWKvq0LIVkywyjY1CA/ihpVxrEBdzpMlOKDfTI9PC/hjrYfuiaadRqqvBlolJl7UMoXdC' to './sdcard/cc9DXwGyPKT6pTZhb2pw6C/tcamnWKvq0LIVkywyjY1CA/ihpVxrEBdzpMlOKDfTI9PC/hjrYfuiaadRqqvBlolJl7UMoXdC': remote open failed: Required key not available

Question

How can I recover my internal storage?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] mArIuS%:
You should delete the password /pattern from TWRP. Boot the phone into TWRP go to advanced -> file manager -> data -> system and delete from there gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key, locksettings.db, locksettings.db-sh, locksettings.db-wal, now your phone is not encrypted anymore, just boot it normally and the pattern should be gone. - PS When TWRP ask for password/pattern hit cancel. -

Thank you, but my initial post already mentions that this doesn't help:

[Samsung Gear S3] Cloverfield_33:
I bought a watch face off of the Facer app (rising phoenix) and see the aod to on and it stays on for about 4 minutes and then the screen goes black and needs a wrist gesture to wake it back up. I've set the facer aod from classic to dimmed and it happens on both. Any ideas?
[Samsung Gear S3] CDMCCDMC:
does this happen with default watch faces? if no, then something is wrong with that watch face you're trying. normally even if you have the screen always on and you take off your watch and place it on a table it will turn off. if you have your watch loose on your wrist, it can also turn off. it checks for pulse, you can see the green light blinking on the back. if it doesn't sense it, it will turn off the screen. i use a metal wrist strap on the watch that is loose and i do notice it will turn off the screen sometimes. if i put it tighter around the wrist, it never turns off if the always on display is on. i have all the gestures and everything off with always on display on. if the watch is tight around the wrist it never turns off AOD, but a week later after made it more loose, it does turn off, kinda annoying, but oh well
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] MartonDev:
Do you guys recommend this phone? Does it have active development? Are there any cons? Best pros/features you like?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] lolo9393:
Yes, I recommend it strongly, but this was my choice and I am not in your shoes!
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] HockeyLan:
yes, there is nothing better for like $280-300. The only con is lack of OIS to me. I actually have grown to like MIUI, MIUI 11 is fine, It does everything you'd expect and it's not intrusive.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
I would say not yet as the dev is not that active as in other phones. I think that the K20 Pro is the one to get
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] MartonDev:
Right now I have the Mi 8 Lite and as far as I can see, this phone has Androud 10 and other roms more active, than my current phone.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Immortal68:
I think it's a great phone hitting all the spots and the best out of the Mi 9 segment, but I'm a little disappointed with the development scene. There still doesn't seem to be an official TWRP version and cROMs are not really there yet. If you're fond of custom development you might want to check out the other device subs and see ho active they are. Going by bang for your buck I think this phone is the best available atm.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] gestetech:
It's a really good phone for the price. I got the 128gb model from AliExpress for around $300, and it's great. The cameras, although they lack optical stabilization, are pretty good, and are even better with GCam. I installed Paranoid Android Quartz Alpha on mine, and other than the fact that I can't seem to easily use the built in HiFi DAC on it, it's a great experience to use. The main con for me is that it's a little too heavy for me; I can get wrist strain just from using the thing. It's probably because of the glass back; I would've preferred plastic as it's cheaper, more durable to drops, and is lighter. Other than that, it's pretty good.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] MartonDev:
Thanks, I'll probably get the pro version i think
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] gestetech:
Ok
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
The K20 Pro is the best of the Mi 9 series i feel.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Immortal68:
Going by performance it definitely is. I honestly like the SD730 in the MI 9T since it's plenty enough performance for me and more battery saving. The differences in camera are almost moot, I feel. And the price difference between the two is about 100€ in my country. Not worth getting the Pro imo.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] welder73:
Exactly! ???
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] welder73:
Check this out ;)

[youtube]g5m1Mv45VWg[/youtube]

I don't think $ 100 is worth the difference...
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Tronic71:
I was almost regretting not getting the pro version while I was waiting for the phone to arrive in the mail. But when I got it I was blown away with how good the SD 730 is. I was coming from a 636(redmi note 5 pro).

Pros for me is:

- amazing battery life

- hotspot only drains around 6% battery in an hour

- an amazing full screen experience with no notch

- can play all my games at high settings fluid.(for pubg you need gfx tool for 60 fps because developers of the game don't care about our device for some reason). But pretty much every game seems to run amazing on this chipset.

You can't really go wrong with this device imo.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
I agree, in fact i would say that the performance difference isn't even what make the Pro Better, it is the custom dev that is much more active.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Maheshzx:
Yes it's too heavy. Weight distribution is ****.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] MountainDrunk:
All I’m finding is conflicting information, for both stock or rooted z4’s. I’m living where there is no available internet, except for my unlimited data plan, which has hotspot data capped at 15 gigs. That means, I can not use chromecast.

What I’d like to find out is if it’s possible via MHL cord, to mirror media to my tv. If it requires rooting, I’ll need some serious research time, but I’m not an idiot and can figure it out. At this point, I’d buy more hardware if that’s required. I dig the phone, but I really need something I can run kodi, Netflix or other stuff on, and mirror to my tv’s.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] MountainDrunk:
I guess another option might be if there was a way to get around the hotspot caps?
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] Lesking72:
If you're able to edit your APNs, you could probably make the device route tethering through the data APN instead of the tethering APN

That's what I did with my Galaxy S6 and unfortunately you have to be rooted to do it (at least with Sprint, they disable APN editing so you have to find the database file and use a program to edit it)

However, your carrier might still be able to tell you're tethering and if they find out they won't be happy about it. I was lucky, and Sprint seemed to not care.

With a very Big Blunder, I just tried to Boot my Note 8 with Galaxy S7 Edge Battery:eek:, without taking care of the Battery Terminals. Ended up with a Dead Phone, No Boot, No Download mode, No Recovery not even any sign of Battery Charging....:rolleyes:

Failed Experiments:

1. Tried to Turn ON after 2 Hours of Continuous Charging Plugged

2. Tried to Connect with my PC (No Signs of Detection)

3. Tried to Turn ON with Volume Down Key Pressed

4. Tried to Turn ON with Volume Up Key Pressed

5. Tried to Turn ON with Volume Up & Bixbe Keys Pressed

6. Tried to Turn ON with Volume Up + Down Key Pressed for even 60 seconds passed, but no Luck

So, it may be a Hardware Fault... Anyone can guide, what worst could happen with this kind of Silly Mistake!!

Could it be Recoverable? Battery is giving 4.5V, Charging Flex Board (Sub PBA), upto Sub PBA Connector is giving 4.5V while connected to Charger.

If anyone can help me in this type of Fault, will really be appreciated. (Thanks in Advance)

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] JaKats:
Hello guys! I had a blue Mi A3 for 2.5 months and the inner screen broke , while the phone dropped on its back , wearing a case .....However , because warranty does not cover screens, i'll buy it again since i liked it . My questions are these :

1) Do you think that with android 10 , Xiaomi will include an ambient display , or the phone will never get this feauture? ( double tap also , but that is a little useless with the on screen fingerprint)

2) Recently , the Mi 9 Lite launched at my country with roughly the same price ( it's the CC9 for europe ) . Should i buy that or the Mi A3 again ? My main concern is MIUI vs Stock Android , beccause elsewere , the Mi 9 Lite would be the clear choice.

Thanks!! :D:D:D
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
1) ambient display is already present. If you mean Always On Display, this is present in the code, but not enabled by default. You need Magisk to enable it. I doubt that Xiaomi will add this feature as it needs a little refinement, but maybe they'll surprise us.

2) Mi 9 lite is also a tad bigger, for some it's important factor to consider. I guess that most people on XDA prefer clean Android over MIUI, so..get A3 again :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] RaghavTeck:
I think you should go for mi a3 since my main reason was clean android

Have you tried this method and phone working fine will there will be any problem if i use this method for rooting c9000?
[Samsung C9 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lojcs:
Yes, I did root my SM-C9000 using this method, and it is working nicely. Obviously I lost access to Secure Folder and Samsung Pay. You should be able to install the Play Store version of Samsung Health. Maximum Power Saving froze the phone the first two times I enabled it, but it's working fine now. One unexpected caveat is that mobile hotspot started to turn itself off if mobile data is enabled even though my carrier has no restrictions on using hotspot. You can't share your data connection using Bluetooth or usb cable neither. You can still use the hotspot for creating a local network. Other than those, I didn't experience any problems after rooting. While I was rooting, I did the mistake of using MTP to transfer the image and as a result my phone bootlooped for half a day but if you follow the instructions, that won't be a problem.

Of course, I don't guarantee anything and don't take responsibility, but there is no reason anything should go wrong.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hey there 1+ friends from around the globe!

The fairly recent upgrade to OOS Android Q/10 has gone smooth for some but horrible for others. OnePlus acknowledges this and has released a rollback zip to install via the known 'upgrade' method. I've put this up for users that have depleted other methods around the forum to resolve their endless issues but can still boot into the system. I have no idea if it can be flashed in (encrypted) TWRP recovery (anyone?).

This will wipe your data! Make backups before proceeding!

Do not attempt this on a T-Mobile device! Thank you [MENTION=426561]Scott[/MENTION] for the heads up.

This will bring you back to 9.0.4! Thanks for the feedback, [MENTION=4591465]NIK3SH[/MENTION]

Download the OnePlus 6T rollback zip and wait for the agonizingly slow download to complete

MD5: 54ede6b7887f295cf8564904693cda34

Backups, backups, backups! :cyclops:

Copy the zip to the root of your internal storage

Go to Settings > System > System Updates

Tap the gear icon top right, followed by 'Local upgrade'

Tap the "Fulldowngrade..." package you just downloaded

Read the warning and tap confirm

Wipe away a little tear as you see your precious data being viciously destroyed by a progress bar

Start fresh! Hmm, that does feel pretty good...

There's also a rollback package for the OnePlus 6 here.

I take no credits for this! I didn't test it either as I was one of the lucky people that experienced a smooth (beta) upgrade. It's just here for people that need it. If you'd like to contribute to this post by adding more confirmed methods to downgrade, be my guest and I'll add them to this OP with credits. Threads like these are handy to refer to instead of writing the same answer over and over in other threads.

I'd love to hear your feedback! Cheers!

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
Of course that's a very good question (don't mind grumpy :p). Sadly, OnePlus' documentation on this is practically worthless. It's as if only one type of this device exists while we surely know there's a difference. I believe it'll work but I can't make any promises. Worst case you just have to MSMTool it. Either way, data loss is ensured. Yay OnePlus! [emoji2357]
