Hello everyone. I am new to sammy phones... always have had htc and OnePlus...even now i still have 1+6 and i got this one (s10e) for the size of it and nice cameras (mostly for the ultrawide). Have been running android 10 on it since yesterday and it feels solid and stable for me.Im in Europe and i have exyons version. Clean install ,as always with new OS version. Phone is really nice but i hate this gestures from Samsung :(

Is there a way to properly install twrp/magisk/viper4android on this phone with android 10 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] Romi14:
Hi,

Sorry for my late answer. Yes in one ui 2.0 you can choose between samsung's nav gestures which are same as in old one ui 1.0 or you can choose new android 10 gestures which are made by google.

Simply sad new android 10 gestures are very similar to the IOS gestures. So for me they are great.

It is about 1 week since i did the upgrade and I can tell you guys what really improved is battery life. Mainly battery drain when phone ia not used. My phone went down from around 3.1 percent per hour to 1 max 2 percent per hour when not used. It might not sound as much a difference, but I clearly see more battery left after a day work.

After the update I can't click on app when I'm at recent apps screen, has someone faced this issue?

Recalled
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion] RobboW:
That works normally for mine.

I cleared my cache partition and it slowly improved. Got play store updates back too.

I think I liked it better before the update. It seems they dumbed down some things but what do you do, leave it stuck on the old ROM and falling behind before it should?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] joachimvadseth:
Just bought a used Mi A2 from a guy. He dosent know what Android version it is and its probably locked. Ive been out of the Android game for many years now, but managed to install ADB and Fastboot on my Mac.

The problem is that the device is boot looping on the Android One logo. Managed to get into Fastboot, and the device shows up in ./fastboot devices. Tried to run this quickie, but only get a "Device is already locked!" message.

So please, point me in the right direction as both the Internet and forums here are loaded with information.

In the end I would like to have a custom ROM, LinageOS or something maybe.

Thanks in advance.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
1st try to reboot numerously with external power On (if there is a valid Android One ROM in one of two slots, sooner or later bootloader is to boot into this valid ROM).

In case phone does not have a valid Android One ROM, then next step would be MiFlash'ing via EDL (search for TestPoint Guide in "Guides, ....")
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] joachimvadseth:
Like just boot loop it or hold the power to reboot?

I think the EDL pinout opiton is the way to go after some searching, but Im in a desperate need of a torx driver..
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Some people reported that phone rebooted just itself while bootlooping with external power, others recommended to enter fastboot mode and reboot, others recommended to enter stock recovery mode (note that there is a gotcha of "no command" -> press "Power" and then "Vol-") and then "try again: ....
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] joachimvadseth:
In Fastboot the device only displays "fastboot", no options what so ever. Tried powering on the device without power cable 20 times and no go, boot looped on external power for about 10 minutes, no go.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Sure there is no options in fastboot mode, "enter fastboot mode and reboot" means just that -> enter fastboot mode and then reboot (either long-pressing power on phone or with "fastboot reboot" command from PC.

I gave you clues, please don't tease me to dictate step-by-step, I do not own your phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] joachimvadseth:
Ye sure, thats fine mate :)

did 'fastboot reboot' about 10 times now and still no go.

Found a Xiaomitool for macOS that has an option for "unbrick my device", but need the previous owners Mi account probably, so Ive asked if he did have a Mi account.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Most probably that's a false path, as MiFlash, Mi Account, Mi Unlock and other such stuff are for owners of "native" Xiaomi MIUI phones, while Mi A2 boarding Android One is regarded as stepchild. Better search for Android One solutions (in these forums of in developer.android.com)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] joachimvadseth:
Maybe. I think the phone is stock, just bricked after some update.

Just need to get the bloody torx driver!

EDIT: when I do manage to find a tiny tiny torx driver and open up the phone, disconnect the battery a bit, connect it back up, and its time to connect the two EDL pins, how long do I hold? USB cable plugged in?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Onilink90:
Yes I have same issue, I dont understand, why Xiaomi dont do anything with this ridiculous problem, I dont login with mi account because no paid attention to that, and when I install this update the phone get in bootloop
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Disclamer: Have not done it myself, but according to numerous sources the needed Steps (here with Windows PC) are:

1. Open (partially disassemble) Phone to reach 2 contact Test Point spots

2. Connect stock USB cable to USB2.x port on MB of PC, but not to phone, start Device Manager (to see that no USB-phone-related devices are connected and later to see that phone will be connected in EDL)

3. Download desired stock fastboot ROM https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824849 and MiFlash, start MiFlash selecting ROM

4. Span the two contacts with something metal and in this state connect USB cable to phone; Device Manager must show newly connected device detected, then contacts may be open

5. Press "Refresh" in MiFlash, same new device must be displayed

6. MiFlash -> clean all, MiFlash -> flash

7. Assemble phone back and reboot

MHO Notes:

a. when EDL/TestPoint method was forced due to soft-bricking, after unbricking it is better to: (1) fully unlock phone and (2) clean-reflash stock ROM via fasboot

(Reason: this particular specimen is subject to OTA soft -bricking)

b. if EDL/TestPoint method fails with Pie (10.0.17.0 or 10.0.2.0), retry using Oreo 9.6.17.0 or 9.6.9.0.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

Xiaomi is just repacking Google's Android One updates, and, obviously, does not spend much money for testing OTAs (as AndroidOne phones are not their main market items). From the other hand, Google's Android One A/B Slots feature was developed for so called friction-less ( muhaha ) reverting to previously working ROM when updated ROM fails to boot. So, an Android One phone bootlooping after OTA MUST reboot to previous version of ROM sooner or later (supposed to be 7 retries), sure if phone is not compromised / tampered by previous user actions.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] joachimvadseth:
Managed to get hold of a torx set - phone is now open, battery disconncted. USB-C cable ready (dont have USB-A-C, only USB-C-C). Installed MiFlashTool on my PC and tried to get hold of the drivers. MIFlash is giving me a hard time whineing about drivers. Giving me a erorr message, something about JIT-debugging. Only got it in norwegian.

Edit: managed to flash the stock ROM I think. Fuzzed around a bit with the qualcom driver. Now I have a white screen with a rainbow passing over it..

Edit 2: and we're there! MIUI is in - now time to get rid of it!

Edit 3: think I managed to flash TWRP now - do I need root? Can I just flash a Pixelexperience ROM now or do I need to do something else? Used the Android 9 fastboot image earlier, if that has anyting to do with anything.

I have a G950F unrooted and with stock Pie. Is it possible to downgrade to Oreo ? Of course I'm keen to root and unblock the booloader
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
Depending on what firmware version you are on. Due to bootloader(binary) versions increasing you cannot downgrade to a previous version, only a previous version with the same bootloader number or a higher version.

Basically if you on version 5 (bootloader/binary) you won't be able to downgrade to Oreo.

The only way is if there is a custom rom that has an Oreo favour to it.

You can still root on pie.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
For Complete Root howto please read this post

==============================================================

Quick root howto for Realme X2

What is written below is for both CN and EU versions, but the files attached are for CN only!

Please pay attention that files attached are version-specific

Credits: Magisk (@topjohnwu), TWRP for Realme X2 (@mauronofrio)

Unlock the bootloader with a help of apk file

Install Magisk manager apk to your stock system

Enter fastboot mode and perform there:

fastboot flash --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

fastboot reboot

EDIT/NOTE

In order to have Magisk out of Core Only Mode:

boot into TWRP, mount SYSTEM in RW mode and from the computer perform

adb shell "cat /system/build_19771.prop >> /system/build.prop"
adb reboot

For EU version (RMX1993) you should replace 19771 with 19672 in the filename.

EDIT 2

I attach here a file with A.13 version boot image patched for magisk. Of course, you should change the file name in the howto above, the line with fastboot flash boot ...

In the next few days I hope to provide more detailed Root howto, thus there will be no dependency on any files from here for the next version releases.

EDIT 3

Here comes the next version A.14. Please find the corresponding file attached. vbmeta.img stays identical for all versions.

[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] surferbyter:
Excellent, I have already tried the root without installing the twrp. then waiting for better times I restored stock locking up the bootloader. Here on the forum regarding the root guides, there are two and there is some confusion for a neophyte who wants to try his hand at mod. It would need only one clear and complete, perhaps integrating it with the procedure for restoring stock if one wanted to go back. For now I'm working like crazy, for example tonight night shift. but as soon as I have some time I will try to make a draft.

Unlocking guide with:

links and steps to follow for using the tool, (deep start test)

commands for dump recovery stock, (dd if)

links to files and commands for the flash of vbmeta and magisk,

link to the file and commands for the TWRP flash.

Guide to stock recovery with:

links and commands for the recovery stock flash,

link to the official rom to flash with the recovery stock,

Command to lock the bootloader,

links and steps for using the tool, (exit from the deep test)

in the end they would put the XDA threads links to any custom roms, for example starting from this one.

Complete Root howto for Realme X2, any model (via Magisk)

Hi folks,

here is super quick howto for rooting your Realme X2 (any variant: CN, IN, EU).

Unlock phone's bootloader and boot fastboot mode

Flash custom recovery (currently the only available is TWRP). Do not reboot yet!!!

Immediately perform fastboot flash --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img , still don't reboot! The file needed is attached below

Now by means of volume buttons and power button boot directly into recovery

Download Magisk zip file from here (it is named like Magisk-v.20.3.zip). From inside custom recovery flash it. You can use adb sideload for this

Now reboot into System

In order to have Magisk out of Core Only Mode (not needed for realmeUI/Android 10):

boot into TWRP, mount SYSTEM in RW mode and from the computer perform (CN, RMX1991 version)

adb shell "cat /system/build_19771.prop >> /system/build.prop"
adb reboot

For EU version (RMX1993) you should replace 19771 with 19672 in the filename.

For IN version (RMX1992) you should replace 19771 with 19671 in the filename.
