i am not sure about this but yeah 5$ is not a big cost for this. Like sincerely there is no other verified method to work and unlocking bootloader gives u many advantages. You can have magisk now and various other thing . You can directly flash service firmware now by flash tool. Custom roms are also there. Like 5$ dollars for a mediatek device is reasonable.
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cris2d2:
In this TWRP, could we install anny official ROM (Global or Chinese) in it's standard form (update.zip)? Or some file modification in the zip archive is required?
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] adityadhage:
Some users reported that they can directly install the official update zip. But i would recommend you to modify the updater script before flashing. You can request your firmware to make it TWRP flashable we can help you with this.
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cris2d2:
Well, it would be nice if some very talented enthusiast developer or team of devs would build a custom ROM based on Android 8 or higher (if it's possible, of course).

I saw there is single custom ROM, AOSP, but it's still based on Nougat, like stock Flyme. This makes it uninteresting for me, because it brings nothing new over already very-good-full-of-options Flyme ROM based on Android 7.0.

Maybe time will bring us custom ROMs based on a newer Android, at least Oreo.
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] adityadhage:
theoretically its not possible to update android version.. Because we dont have the source code to develop a higher version kernel .. But still there is a hope to port a rom based on android 8 but cant sure for stability.
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cris2d2:
I remember that Lenovo P2 smarthone officially stopped at Android 7 but people could install different custom Oreo, Pie and Q ROMs. This means that Lenovo published the source code?
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] adityadhage:
Lenovo P2 is a snapdragon device. The source code and device tree can be found easily. Unlike mediatek , snapdragon never hides such things that's why the development is high on SD devices. Mediatek released kernel sources till Helio p10 then never disclosed anything. For higher android version roms we have to port kernel to higher version. Meizu pro 7 is right now on 4.4.15 kernel ver. For higher version we need kernel of 4.4.15+. I hope i cleared your doubts.
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cris2d2:
So, it's all about the source code, kernel sources and so on.

From my point of view (and my knowledge), there are two major steps or two issues that need to be addressed to successfully develop ROMs and kernels for a phone:

1. As you said, the source code must be released publicly.

2. The bootloader must be unlocked (or easy to unlock), for all these mods and kernels to be installed through a custom recovery (IF a custom recovery is developed).

Please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm seeing these things from consumer/user point of view, not like a programmer/developer/coder).
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] adityadhage:
basically you are right

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
Would flashing oldkeymaster.zip bootloop me and if I can flash it could I use flashify or magisk to do it?

Upon inspection yes oldkeymaster will bootloop me. I'm guessing the only fix is wiping internal storage?

I haven't updated TWRP to -30 yet I'm still on -20 I think

Nevermind updating to -30 fixed it
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Striatum_bdr:
Always use latest versions.... Basic rule.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
Yea messed up on that one, I don't know everybody was having issues on 10.0.0 so when I flashed it and everything just worked I left it be.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
Ok I'm makeing rom for Prophet, Kaiser and Touch and prob will make for more devices.

Therefore I ask here insted of doing a poll in every forum?

on some devices the memorry is not that much and ArcsoftMMS is taking up alot of space and can be installed by cab for users that realy need it.

so the question is how often do you send MMS
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
I never use MMS..i guess my vote wont count..caz u are not building for Hima right ?? :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
Not yet anyway but if I find a cheep one I would buy it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] !Aman!:
i agree, its better to remove this from the ROM. if somebody really uses MMS, he/she can use a cab to install it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
I rarely use it, don't find the need to send "pix" to everyone, especially when I've got e-mail at my finger tips!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Piranha1:
Gullum i think remove it.If i will send pix i can use E-MAil.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ChInEsE ChIcKeN:
i use it every once in a while. there are times in which i use it everyday but most of the time i would say on average weekly
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] witchshady:
Considering that the Elfin has Wifi and I can pretty much attach any pic I want and email it to anyone using my Elfin, I don't see the need for MMS.

Of course there are those purists who will say, "oh, but then you need to find a wifi hotspot...I can send MMS anytime"...

I've never been in a situation where I've had to send a picture immediately. If I do find myself in that spot, then I'll use MMS.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thedaniel:
I dont HAVE to send MMS messages at all but it is the multi-functionallity of my Kaiser I love. Basically I like to have all options available. I hate it when I`m in a position not being able to do something because I didnt install it because of ram/storage space. Its like having alot of money but no stores to use´em in.

I probably send 50 mms messages a year (Vacations, Fishing, A picture of my daughter to her mother, and so on..) but not once a week.

When there is a situation worth it I use MMS. Being in that situation without that option would probably make me crazy. Of course I can send an email but I would like the pic to show up in the recievers phone at once. Eighter way: most Norwegian mobile phone users dont have email on their phones (dont use it) ........... yet. For pictures and sound, we use MMS.

Off topic:

Viva Scandinavia! :-) I´m visiting Iceland this summer :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ekksman:
I agree with the above - its one of those options you hardly use, but its very annoying for example someone who has a device without email option wants to send a picture and you dont have the capabilities, i probably have sent 1 this year and received 2 or 3
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wanwarlock:
yeah, i've never used it, but i guess it's handy if you do have it. tbh, if i had a rom with no mms, i wouldn't notice it wasn't there because i don't use it at all! mms is expensive!

if you are making new rom, i'd say leave it out & add link for the cab, if somebody wants it, can dload it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
look like so far that MMS should be a cab option and not in the rom.

I personaly have only sent MMS to test if it works in my roms. I've had differant phones over the years and I hardly ever sent or received any MMS during these years.

So my desission is MMS wan't be in my future roms :D but I will have a link to a cab to go with my roms...

Thanks for all the votes and please keep voting as this might be of intrest to other cooks too.

You need to be on Android 10 prior to flashing?, correct?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zzkeier:
yes:)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fireball0093:
Thank you! Running pretty smoothly. Haven't come across any bugs or anything so far, if I do I'll let you know.

Cyanogens Nano Gapps package worked for me.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijohnson:
Liking the ROM so far!

Thanks. I tried FlameGapps - nano, and am having better luck.

I'm having an issue with titanium backup too, but its been giving me trouble prior to this ROM. Some apps just wont restore. Titanium just hangs. Others are fine.

The app EdgeAction seems to be killed occasionally. Or stops working. Not sure if its ROM related or not.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sceccu:

Are you building with Kuran's trees by any chance? I ran into that exact issue before I switched from his trees to Anay Wadhera's trees for Pixel Experience, it's an issue with the Sounds driver Kuran has as far as I can tell.

EDIT: just looked at who's trees your building with, you're indeed building with Kuran's trees, try with anay's (anayw2001 on GitHub) trees, you'll likely have to do some work just to get things to build, though)

Flash rom

Flash twrp installer

Reboot recovery

Flash magisk

Flash Lineage/cyanogen nano gapps

How's the battery timings on this ROM ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fireball0093:
I'm running MicroG instead of Gapps so mileage may vary for others, but I get about 3.5-4 hours screen time at the end of the day when I'm not using data, usually with about 15-20% left when I plug it in. Days where I'm using mainly data I get about 3 hours.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijohnson:
Having an issue with the Camera. I can take video, but not pictures. I've tried the google cam, the essential cam and OpenCamera. It seems to snap a pic, but not save it. Will "take" the first pic, but have to restart app before it will take a pic again.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijohnson:
The issue was the "hearing_aid" setting, which was enabled. Once I turned it off, all was well. Does not seem visable in normal settings. Accessed it via the Hidden Settings magisk module.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Any word on security updates for this? The latest official one from January fixes the Mic/Audio static and crackling issue.

how do i disable the setting?you mean hearing_aid=0 ? the whole list shows 0 for hearing_aid and i still have loud voice on in-call. any suggestions?:confused:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijohnson:
You know, I dont think that actually solved anything. But

- install "hidden settings" Magisk module

- search/modify the hearing_aid setting
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ali.sbi:
yeah i did that nothing changed. any other ways to decrease it?the rom is working great the only problem i have is in-call volume.dev any solution?

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] the_Pan:
How is the "update behaviour" with this rom & microg? Is this unofficial getting updates at all??

Could you maybe describe step by step how you update to keep microg installed?

Right now I'm on LOS-for-microg, but there seems to be an issue with deep doze, so want to switch again. Already tried AICP14, which is a very good rom for itself, but with every update it removed the microg-core and I can't figure out how to prevent this.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TDP95:
I am also interested in crDroid on mata. But, it appears this unofficial build was only built once, and is still from December without the latest security patches? Or, is it being updated? Also, it appears the sources, such as the device, kernel, vendor files are still being updated on those Github repos. How do you buid crDroid including these files for mata?

Mata is now a secondary phone so I haven't messed with it recently, nor attempted to do an update with microG installed. I will mess around on it at some point in the near future since I'll be at home more often on my days off. And btw yes, this rom does support signature spoofing.

[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLastAlphaUK:
Actually took all night to figure out how to do this.... this has only been tested on XT1944-2_NORA but it should work for any non64bit builds....

Download MY ZIP FILE and extract.

Install MotorolaDeviceManager_2.5.4.exe

Dowload stock rom FROM HERE and extract and combine MY ZIP FILE and this one.

Open cmd prompt

cd "C:\ADDRESS of combined folders"

flash stock rom using these commands:

fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot-bootloader

now boot twrp_james.img using:

fastboot boot twrp_james.img

it will take 30-60secs to load cos of the encryption, when it asks for a password just press cancel

while in TWRP, run the following in your ADB terminal

adb shell mount -o,rw /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor /vendor
adb push fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom

then hit wipe > format data > yes

now push magisk with

adb push Magisk-v19.4.zip /sdcard

install the zip reboot to bootloader

flash twrp with

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-nora.img

FIX BAD KEY LOGO BY CHOOSING WHAT YOU WANT FROM HERE

when ur phone loads just open magisk and update it direct install after updating magisk manager
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Alrich:
Hello XDA and happy holiday season.

I have a phone with a display that is cracked.

The phone also has another issue where sometimes it will power on (startup vibration felt) and the other times it is completely bricked. So I'm assuming there's many more problems with the phone.

My main question is... (Assuming the phone will power) is there a way for me to pull all data from the device by connecting it to USB and using commands? (Phone has no password or encryption.)

The phone is to be disposed... So even if I have to hack it I don't mind. I just want the data on it. (Particularly my poetry from the Notes app.)

Phone is fully stock. No root. No bootloader unlock. No custom recovery.

I have Note 9 (SM-N960U1) unlocked in USA. I am currently on AT&T.

I seem to have many dead spots inside my house so want to enable wifi calling but found out that I need to flash carrier specific firmware on my phone. As I am complete noob, have some questions:

1) What does flashing a firmware does? Pros? Cons?

2) I am currently on Android 10 (One UI 2.0 Build QP1A.190711.020.N960U1UEU3ZSL2). If I flash a new firmware, will my phone be downgraded to a lower version of Android?

3) If answer to @2 is Yes, how will I get latest Android updates? Will it depend on Samsung or AT&T?

4) Last but not the least, HOW THE HELL I FLASH THIS FIRMWARE?

Any help will be a great help. I have a interview on Friday so don't have much time to get this fixed.

TIA.
