i cant boot into fastboot on my rmx1992

i tried pressing vol down + powerbutton but it boots into system

i also tried using `adb reboot bootloader` `adb reboot fastboot` but nothing seems to work

it just ends up booting into the system any help?

edit: im on stock a11 realmeui 2.0
[Realme X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] barathrr96:
I have flashed TWRP and after flashing an A12 ROM, the internal got encrypted.

Later TWRP is not even asking for password to decrypt. May I know whether our TWRP supports decryption? Or is there any workaround?

Another concern is even using adb sideload, I'm magisk zips are not installed says invalid zip format. While directly installing from magisk app also same issue.
[Realme X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] barathrr96:
Do restart in your system and just keep pressing down button until you see android boot logo. It worked for me.
[Realme X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] msirr2047:
I need Twrp for RMX 1991 for android 11. I unlocked bootloder but couldn't found TWRP.
[Realme X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] feitlimit:
I had the same issue. I rolled back to Android 10 because there isn't any app for Android 11. Used this app to unlock bootloader. I wasn't able to find any other way to enter fastboot, so i had to rollback

Some additional info in case u need:

Spoiler content hidden.

Now I'm trying to flash twrp and then PEX rom. I'll update
[Realme X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] feitlimit:
I cannot enter twrp even after successful flashes. I did

fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Yet on pressing the power button on reboot recovery option it boots and enters fastboot again. I tried several twrps (Indian (3.3) , from this page (3.4) and an official (3.7)) And if I boot into system and come again, it is replaced by the stock recovery

The vbmeta is the image I extracted from the same stock rom that I flashed.

I'm on Realme X2 (1992 india) Android 11 UI 2.0

Can anyone please help?

Thanks
[Realme X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] PerezzZ868:
Hello friend. Did you try to boot into recovery immediately after flashing twrp, using the command "fastboot reboot recovery" and flashing VBMETA PATCHER from the first page?

I have the same problem but on the RMX1993.
[Realme X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] feitlimit:
Solution for potential errors:

Hi! I fixed it. Reading the thread, it turns out that twrp and rooting are not supported on Realme UI 2.0 yet. I had to roll back to Android 10 (Realme UI 1.0) and everything was fine. My device was soft-bricked so I flashed RMX_1992_11_C.05 Stock ROM and then updated to RMX_1992_11_C.18 (last Android 10 update) from Software Update in Settings.

You can check the update history of when 1993 had the last Android 10 update or any older version and flash that. Or you can just follow the easier method:

Check the official website for software updates and directly open that ozip file from the File Manager on your Realme 2.0. It will automatically rollback. Check this for Reference.

Note: Data will be wiped after rollback

If you're having trouble flashing from the Realme Flash tool use OFP Flash tool on github. One of the two always worked for me (read more useless sheeeeet on this here).

And you don't need to use the patched vbmeta. Normal vbmeta extracted from the same ROM also works. (Some say vbmeta depends on Android version. So you can use vbmeta as long as it is from the same Android version. Not sure about it though. You can always just download the the stock rom (.ofp file) of same version and extract the vbmeta image with ofp-decypter) Ezz

Yes. It will work after you rollback to UI 1.0

Hope this helps ;)

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] catalindobre:
I am interested in a buying a 2nd all-arounder phone that mostly ticks all key boxes and found out that the XZ2 is almost there.

As it will be my first Sony I need your experience with the device to decide to buying it or get a different one:

1) are there any serious issues that affect the device, maybe design issues or bad experiences with the device? Maybe display, speakers, or other hardware stuff to concern me?

2) I am interested in root-ability o this phone. Is I saw that there is some development. for this phone and since I am sort of experienced in Custom ROM stuff, I want to know if there are specific rooting issues? Are the valid options for un-bricking it, just in case. Is there a big amount of bricked phones?

3) how's sony with the updates for this device for official firmware updates?

4) is Google Camera functional after rooting?

5) is the phone performance still holding good in late 2019?

I appreciate your responses in any form or shape!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
I like my still fast XZ2 with OmniROM 9.0
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] farukr1:
1-some devices are affected from bad production including mine, ghosting on LCD below room temperature, horizontal static electric lines appearing after rubbing the screen, speakers may get temporary damage for no reason (can be fixed by opening the sim tray and pulling that paper in there and waiting a little) or can get permanently damaged if you overdrive them with something like xLoud easily, if you dont want a super slippery 200g heavy 1.1cm thick glass brick look somewhere else (buttons are jiggly too)

2-custom roms have problems with audio and camera and it'll take some time to get fixed and at the end there's the possibility of it not being better than stock camera (also typical sony drm stuff will be lost after unlocking the bootloader)

3-device getting regular security patches and will be updated to android 10 in early 2020 (keep your bootloader locked if you want OTA)

4-no, gcam requires full camera2api and raw support which isnt there on stock

5-performance is good probably due to having close to stock android

this is my first xperia and I'd not recommend this phone to anybody unless you are crazy about what is sony doing with their sony open devices project like the guy above martin :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
I'm sorry to hear that you got a faulty unit.

Did you try to RMA it?

Because I never had such issues, except touch issues in Android 8, which got 90% fixed now (Sometimes while I super fast do swipes on the keyboard it may not recognize only a single swipe at the beginning of the writing).

Camera and Audio are work in progress on the custom roms based on sony open devices project.

SODP is an isolated sony employee team in the sony company + volunteers which need to implement everything by themselves without access to the stock source code (but with access to the closed source Qualcomm source code and documentations).

The camera doesn't degrade on unlock on your stock firmware, so you can freely continue using the stock firmware until the SODP camera reaches a equal or better quality.

(Since SODP supports the entire Camera2API with RAW and GCAM support to raise the quality it may become better than stock.)

And the performance is like stock on SODP.

My benchmark shows the same values like stock, too and you don't have bloat/stock apps preinstalled without the possibility to remove them without root.

PS: The SODP based custom roms are not affected by DRM, since they are a reimplementation of the hardware drivers, there isn't any usecase for DRM keys.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Hi All

My Mi 10 has Global ROM 11.0.5 stable, 11.0.5.0 (PFDEUXM). Android version: 9 PKQ1.190303.001. Security patch 2019-09-01

I'm a bit short of time, but I've run two camera2 api probes from here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camera2.test

I've attached output from both apps.

The first things I notice are:

Both apps report only 2 cameras so it looks like others are not exposed yet. (hoping for gcam)

Neither apps offers a 108mp image. The MI9 offered a 48mp jpeg, but only 12mp raw.

I'll update this when I get more time, but thought I'd post the results for all to see.

Cheers

Steve
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Oh yes, I forgot. OpenCamera offers a max resolution of 6016 x 4512 so 27mp which I've confirmed this is from 108mp camera, so probably pixel binned. Attached is the Settings/About.

Cheers

Steve
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] TF1920:
Thanks picitup,

Yes have been trying for a while, the 108Mp code dosn't show in the CameraApi2 regular code max 27mp

Or a special param is needed, like for Mi6 at build.prop > camera.aux.packagelist=org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.android.camera,com.miui.cit,net.sourceforge.opencamera

Or uses hidden params like the Huawei P9 like com.huawei.device.capabilities.availbaleDualPrimary & com.huawei.capture.metadata.dualSensorMode

Or something else...

I have the decompiled smali source codes of the default camera App at my Note 10 If you want to look for it, it should be there, PM and will send the zip
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Hi TF1920

You may be right and if it's in the build.prop that would be a nice easy fix. Once I've got mine rooted that is!

Thanks for the offer of the source code, but Android camera software is beyond my skill set. I'm more of a pic man :)

Cheers

Steve
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] TF1920:
btw Steve meanwhile you can try the extra hidden parameters of the default camera app, by creating a folder named lab_options_visible at the DCIM folder , The only one I barely see a difference is with dualcammoff for the 108Mpx mode

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

The best 108Mpx modes I have tested are with the pro mode, ISO100, Manual focus, 3secs timer, and a tripod

the raw mode dosn't add much, and the resolution is lower, until a true 108Mpx code could be enabled but the files size will be huge

the 5X zoom cam resolution is lower but detail is better than manually zooming a 108Mpx pic

And the sames goes for the marco cam , less mpx but better than zooming the 108Mpx pic
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Hi that's interesting thanks. You've answered one of my questions I was going to test next week, namely that all optical zooms/macro are better than a 108mp crop. Otherwise what's the point of the extra lenses?

I'm disappointed only the selfie and 108mp are exposed as I really like OpenCamera, but as you say, maybe someone will come up with a mod to expose them. Fingers crossed.

I'm away at the Lake District in the UK next week, so hope to have a play then.

Cheers

Steve
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] TF1920:
you are welcome Steve, yes OpenCamera is quite good, like setting delayed shots for timelapses and other stuff ,and Gcam is good for other things but so far none works with 108Mpx
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] TF1920:
Got my Note10 unlocked and edited buildprop to add opencamera and googlecam at camera.aux.packagelist but still the 108Mpx mode is not showing :(
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Bummer.

Hi [MENTION=10329227]TF1920[/MENTION]

What ROM are you using? Mine was Global but I just flashed EU. If you can post up the exact lines you added to build.prop I could give it a try.

I must admit, I think we may be stuffed in trying to get 108mp for 3rd parties. I chased this quite a bit on the Mi9 (my previous phone) forum and I think it might be down to xiaomi to expose the interface. If I remember correctly, gcam only works on the camera2 raw interfaces, so if that's correct the max gcam output would be the 27MP pixel-binned offering.

The Note 10 is different to the Mi9 in that on the Mi9 the 48mp jpeg output was available for 3rd parties, but the 108mp is not available to 3rd parties.

I hope they fix it or someone (like you) finds a workaround :)

Cheers

Steve

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] TF1920:
OpenCam now detects 14 cameras instead of 2 and seems to work with some of them

And you can switch betwen them

Camera 0 is the 27Mpx wide

Camera 1 is the front selfi

Camera 2 is the 12Mpx portrait 2X

Camera 3 is the wide angle 20Mpx fov 117º

camera 4 is the macro 2Mpx

camera 5 is the tele 5Mpx 5x

Camera 6 fails and dosnt keep switching to others

I modified the opencam source code to avoid next cams and goes as follows

Camera 6 fails

Camera 7 is again the 12Mpx portrait 2X

Camera 8 fails too

Camera 9 is again the 27Mpx wide one but no 108Mx show

Camera 10 fails too

Camera 11 fails too

Camera 12 fails too

Camera 13 is again the 27Mpx wide one but no 108Mx show

at clickedSwitchCamera in MainActivity add this code to make usable all the other cams but the 108Mpx mode

Hi [MENTION=10329227]TF1920[/MENTION]

Thanks very much for all your work and updates. I'm away today for a few days, but will have some time while I'm away I'm sure. I did try adding opencamera to the build.prop, but it made no difference to my version - just 2 cameras reported. I'm on 1.47.3 - are you using a customised version?

If you can find that pesky 108MP camera, you'll definitely be on my xmas list!

Keep Smilin'

Steve
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] TF1920:
I just build my own opencamera, can you post you build.prop?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Yes no problem. I'm new to build.prop so might have made a schoolboy error. The only addition is open camera:

#Expose aux camera for below packages
vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.xiaomi.runin,com.xiaomi.cameratest,com.xiaomi.factory.mmi,net.sourceforge.opencamera

I've attached the full file renamed to .txt as a reference

Cheers Steve
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] TF1920:
you need to add one line also without the vendor

camera.aux.packagelist=net.sourceforge.opencamera
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Brill thanks again! I'm learning loads lol.

I just added the extra line you suggested and it works like a charm! Open Camera 1.47.3 (the latest from Play) reports 14 cameras in Settings/About and you can switch between them using the camera switch icon.

The 1st 5 work OK and 6 reports a serious camera error. If you keep tapping, you get a blank screen each time, and eventually it works again, but it starts at camera 1 (selfie) so it looks like Open Camera gets upset at camera 6. To get camera 0 again, you have to close Open Camera and kill the task, restart it again and it's on Camera 0.

I have often thought I should build my own version of Open Camera, but never got round to it. Maybe it's time once I get other projects out the way.

Have a good evening.

Well you're just the gift that keeps on giving :)

Thanks for the code. Yes, that does look easy. I can't touch it right now as I'm motorising my microscope with a pic chip to do focus stacking and have promised myself I'll finish it before taking on another project lol. I see Open Camera is compiled in Android Studio so I'll download it and have a play, probably next week.

For interest, I've edited build.prop and added footej camera (com.footej.camera) and camera2test (com.airbeat.device.inspector). Footej does not seem to support any extra cameras, only front and back so +1 for Open Camera. Camera2test did show more cameras, but the 27MP repeated cameras are shown as 4032x2034, or 12MP so I think it's wrong. More importantly, still no 108MP :(

I've attached the (very long) screenshot of Camera2Test.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] TF1920:
The 108Mpx seems elusive for now, in the stock cam they add a new stream configuration so this mode is enabled

CameraCapabilities: addStreamConfigurationToList: xiaomi.scaler.availableSuperResolutionStreamConfigurations: size = 15

Setting that is what updates the max resolution to

But still didnt find how to call it from code to enable it for the camera2 api
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Oh so it's configured at runtime? I think if anyone can find it, you can :)
