Yep, so create the thread.

How do you propose that these threads be enforced?

This site is maintained by volunteers.

If you want a thread with a list a of devices that can be bootloader unlocked

Create it.

The threads you are referring to were not created by Moderators

But mostly by regular members.
[General Topics] noddledizzy:
Yes I could, but that would only be for my LGV30. What about for other devices? Besides, if I were to post this, such an unpopular idea would get buried below posts and unlikely for it to get stickied. People post guides all the time and custom roms, also take their time to help people individually who asks the same questions. So I think it's not hard to create such thread. I just want to spread awareness to help each other out.

If moderators were to spread this idea and tell users to make a meta thread about a device's do's and don't then people would be encouraged to do it. It's simply the lack of this idea is what stopping it. It's not like it's all going to be for naught. You will get 'thanks' for it, racking up your stack of 'thanks' lol.

In the end, I apologize if this idea is absurd and unnecessary . I just think that it will help everyone from the long run. Including myself. Thank you for listening to my suggestion. :)

Ok so I'm using

[URL="http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2351206" [JUNE 28] ROMeOS v2.3 [/URL]

Currently

But I was using 2.2 when this problem first occurred. After I got my Phone to sync up with the exchange server at work it stopped being able to sync up through WMDC 6.1.6965

I get a Red X with an ERROR

So I backed up my data and hard reset my device which didn't resolve the issue

After that I installed the new ROMeOS 2.3 on my device and the problem disappeared, I was able to sync through WMDC fine, but as soon as I Synced it to Exchange I lost that functionality again.

Anyone know how I may resolve this or what I may have done wrong? Is it a problem with the ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Matthes42:
Solutions for your problem could be found easier if you mention what kind off error message you get. :confused: Different errors need different sulutions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eskasi:
I am using a HTC Diamond and have this EXACT problem! The error is simply a big error sign with the red x sign right? I tried ending the partnership, uninstalling device drivers and such but still cannot get it to even establish a partnership (let alone sync with errors)....THe phone shows a connected sign but it isn't even showing a connection on WMDC.

These issues happened after I used exchange server.

If anyone here has an answer, I would love to hear it too!

I am suffering from the same problem. I have an omnia phone, it was syncing very fine one month ago but i had to format my laptop and reinstall all the software again, afterwhich my pda totally lost its connection with my laptop.

it is connected and on my phone it shows that it is connected, but the WMDC shows a red cross with error and that's it, it doesn't give me any option to do. it is just a big green screen with a red cross on the bottom left corner.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] papo_blue7:
I've been all day flashing recovery and fastboot roms. Every time I flash a MIUI based rom I have this error. Then I tried Havoc Q and works perfectly.

I flashed both latest Global and EEA fastboot rom.

I tried flashing MIUMIX, MiRoom, Kosmos, MIUI.eu but couldn't because of this error. I tried erasing data in updater-script file within the rom files (assert thing).

I also tried some recoverys like TWRP 3.3.0.0, OrangeFox and others like:

Any solution?

EDIT: I don't know why I could flash Havoc but now i can't.

EDIT2: Now i could flash MIUI. I think I have to transfer files one by one. I also changed port from 2.0 to 3.0.

Firstly, you should use the latest OFOX, mostly because it's the most compatible one. Secondly, try to format data it's the most common issue with this phone. I flashed a few roms last week and never get an error 7 (Now I'm in one of the weekly builds from MIUI EU). IIRC it's a compatibility error.
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] AmsuAsari:
hey there. i have lineage 15 (i think. july 29 2019 release), and ubuntu l4t running on my switch. i would love to be able to plug it into the dock and output to the monitor and use usb etc. neither one outputs, but should fine and i dont see many help topics about this via google or xda search. anybody know what may be the issue?

I am using an insignia brand dock(best buy brand, their quality is actually really good on every product ive tried, a broad range. anyway,), and i have tried both the insignia adapter, and the nintendo adapter for power,, no issues there. i dock it, light turns green, it charges, but display doesnt switch. id even be happy with the display cloning.

anyway, if anyone has any insights on how to resolve this (especially the latest l4t which is 18.something) please please even if you only have a lead to info reply here so i can develop in class instead of carting around a laptop bag full of hardware and cords etc.
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] techjunky90:
You answered your own question. You're using a 3rd party dock. Developers aren't going to bother supporting something that hardly any Switch owner uses.
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] AmsuAsari:
dude, its insignia. ive never known them to not use OEM specs down to the chip. anyway, it should just be a standard PnP usb bridge, and last i checked, usb and hdmi hasnt changed. still direct pin to pin like it always has been.

I didnt come here to get insulted. i came here for help. either input something useful or say nothing. some of us blew all our money on tuition and dont have the 60 bucks to drop on a dock. thats a week of eating

edit: also, i have tried several direct usbC to output adapters, a dvi and an hdmi. both work fine on my phone and pull up DeX, or connect to my tv etc. none of them work on the switch tho..
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] techjunky90:
You didn't get insulted and you got your answer. You may not like that answer but it's the answer nonetheless. If you bothered to read you would know that 3rd party docks are iffy as far as working with Android/Linux. Also it's already been confirmed that the Insignia dock does not work. I think what you fail to realize is it's not "pnp". The developers have to support it. They have to include drivers for said hardware. You do not understand how the Switch dock works.
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] AmsuAsari:
Well I finally found this thread again, after 4 months or so of searching and waiting I got another 3rd party dock and it works fine. Even better with the new android 10 and l4t. Now 3rd party works fine.

Issue was, noone sold the official dock separately you had to get a switch with it for the longest time

Now they are finally starting to sell docks. Ish. It wasn't for a lack of trying.

I love the Aura Glow color in the Galaxy Note 10 or the A51, so what I did was search for Wraps or Vinyl on Google, and what I found was:

https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32925791290.html

Apparently they only did it for Note 9, and S10 ?. Being that it is a newer device.

Anyone know of any way to adapt that sticker or create or someone who has done it?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Accessories] chieco:
Ufff... That skin doesn't look good especially the bottom. But ask the seller of the already sells them for a few devices chances are good that he has our can make them for the S10 or even already has them but they are not listed. Also if you don't care about water proofing you can get a new back glass in the color prism silver and replace yours. Or sell your current device and get the S10 in prism silver that one is the closest to aura glow.

Edit: I clicked the link and there are a ton for S10 from other sellers didn't you notice that?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Accessories] Andy921:
Well, I thought the Prism Silver only came for the S10 5G. And the other S10 at the bottom of the page are not the same, because the others do only vertical color effects, Something similar to Redmi Note 8

README

Disabling AVB via fastboot will let you flash/boot TWRP on stock ROM. To do this, grab the vbmeta image from your stock ROM (Download firmware from the official site and extract it, it should be in it), and flash it with the following command:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] theimpulson:
Instructions on how you can flash stock ROMs again from official TWRP as some users were having issues while flashing. The process is pretty simple.

- First of all, grab the proper recovery firmware from Xiaomi's site. You can get it here or here. Make sure to download the proper variant as per your device and needs.

- Once downloaded, open it using an archive manager and delete the compability.zip archive in it. This archive enforces version checks and is supposed to stop the flashing process if there is a mismatch of specified firmware requirements by OEM. Read more on it here.

- Now go navigate into META-INF directory or its sub-directories and locate updater-script which pass instructions on which partitions are supposed to be flashed. This script contains various assert which need to be removed. Find lines such as:

assert(set_emmc_writable("/sys/block/mmcblk0boot1/force_ro"),
package_extract_file("preloader.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0boot1"));

and

assert(set_emmc_writable("/sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro"),
package_extract_file("preloader.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0"));

Remove all such lines.

Save the changes and now flash the build. It should flash successfully without any issues. Remember to disable AVB as it will render your device unbootable if you wish to flashback TWRP again.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] theimpulson:

:DNice to have Official TWRP for this phone. Made use of it and also used the LR TWRP V1210 on the site by saiz0313. I have MIUI V11.0.2.0 and rooted it with the root function in LR TWRP, then installed the image your TWRP using LR TWRP. In the Official TWRP window, unticked all mounted items and then backed up Boot, Data, System Image and Vendor Image. Got this redline error at end of the process: "Failed to unmount '/system-root' (Device or resource busy)". Seemed to have no effect on the backup, because after a deliberate factory reset, then reinstalling your TWRP, the subsequent restore completed with the same error, and the phone booted with no problem . It works as it did before the backup. I do not use TWRP but for a sure system Backup/Restore, as I am not inclined to want custom ROMS: One function of this phone that I particularly like is the scheduled auto start and auto shutdown which is missing on most phones, and I do not know of any custom ROMS that have it.:good:

I am also curious if you will have a boot-to-recovery along with the current options boot-to-system and bootloader as well as Power Off.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Muad.Dib:
You probably know what you are doing, but from what I have read here and there, it is usually not advisable to flash any new/other recovery version from any recovery already installed, but instead it seems to be preferred to flash directly the new image using fastboot to avoid any kind of issues.

It might have worked out for you in the end (lucky? a good device/rom combination maybe too), but I think it might be best to advise people not to do that, and flash any recovery, this or any other, from fastboot only.

Since many people/users with a wide different range of skills are reading those forums, I thought it would be best not to spread confusion. There are already quite a lot for this device with guides suggesting completely different things.

My remark is not aimed at you, I am glad it worked for you, just to the overall audience if they felt like trying to flash a new recovery from an already installed recovery which I think is not the wisest option and even less on a device so prone to brick.

Just my 2 cents.

Grab the stock vbmeta image from dump that your stock has/had. Use fastboot to flash it with the following command:

Else just flash those zips using TWRP that offers disabling AVB. You can find them on XDA I guess.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Muad.Dib:
Meanwhile, assuming you still have fastboot and only recovery does not show up, waiting for this known bug to be fixed in the OFFICIAL branch, you may want to try one of other two previous UNOFFICIAL TWRP available for this device which do not have that problem anymore I think (at least i never had it with either of the two), just to confirm or infirm this really is the problem or not.

I know how frustrating it can be to have to wait without being able to do anything (boot unlock....... 7 days.... damn that was long....), so instead of waiting you can try that and report back here if your problem was indeed elated to this known bug or not. Good luck.

We all need to be patient with the new (just released) OFFICIAL branch and give [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION] some space to breath :p

We have our OFFICIAL TWRP after all :good: :good: :D

Yeah that does not surprise me, I have seen many ending up bricking their devices trying to go too fast sometimes. It may work for some and not for some others to do some 'more or less' dirty flash, when the fastboot method as far as I know, work for -almost- everyone. As a general rule of thumbs that usually seem wiser to follow the method that works for most IF your HW/SW/Region do match the one in given tutorial ;)
