Hello, I would like to get this phone rooted but it seems to be genuinely impossible, many different methods on both this site and others have been tried and failed. Every one of them ends with (I think) Knox getting tripped and it saying with red text and black highlight "Boot Check FAILED" . The boot loader is unlocked

A20 not a20s

When you follow those instructions perfectly, you get the result shown in the photo. This is directly after rebooting from recovery after factory resetting.

What is not specified in the video that may or may not help:

Odin version

Android version

Magisk version (i can see 7.3 if i remember)

What, if any of these variables make a difference?

I've tried this on Android 9 and 10

I used Odin3_v3.14.4 and Magisk 7.5.1

Perhaps you meant to show the video of an actual A20M being successfully rooted this way. The generic modern A model method does not apply.

Posting this link is only going to make people fail. It should be removed as it does not work. I'd really like you to correct me. Maybe everyone is not using proper odin version (the one that passes) or Magisk.

Did you root your A207?
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] physwizz:
It'snot the Odin version or the video

All a205X and a202X phones can be rooted (except a205U) using this method

The a20s is totally different because it is snapdragon and not exynos

The root guide is for the a20 not a20s but I am glad to help out others
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] mindlery:
No. I am not overly disappointed. Apart from no vibration on the keyboard, Samsung has done most of the work already. Screen size is decent, no bixby or even a flipboard to the left. Most of the stuff this phone has been denied i never use. I miss good lock and some key root apps like viper and battery charge limit.

I've no idea not what unlocking the bootloader does other than a warning and no OTA. Perhaps some of us need to learn how to do this instead of waiting. There's plenty of knowledge here and maybe most of the work with the A205 can help. Get brickin'!

First of all I must apologize for my low level of English.

I will try to explain something strange that happens to my Pocophone since the arrival of the OTA with Android 10 and Miui11

Since I bought the Poco I have always used TWRP as recovery.

I currently use the 3.3.0.0 official TWRP version downloaded from its official app and I have no problem until the past weekend-

However, I have tried installing OrangeFox Recovery Project (OFRP), PitchBlack Recovery Project (PBRP) and an unofficial TWRP mod whose name is twrp-3.3.1-2-beryllium-adil2.img

And now I tell you I miss it.

If I boot into recovery using TWRP 3.3.0.0 it does not ask me for password, but if I flash OFRP, PBRP or mod 3.3.1.2 adil 2, it always asks me for a password when booting and tells me that the partition /data is encrypted. I do not know the password and I have never encrypted the Poco. Also the 3 revoveries show that is not installed any Tom, but when a reboot the system works perfectly.

Some colleagues have indicated to me that the data partition had been encrypted so I followed the next process to try to install a clean rom.

1. Boot in bootloader with Power + Vol-

2. Via fastboot flash OFRP

3. Boot in recovery (OFRP)

4. Format data and factory reset

5. Reboot recovery OFRP

6. Wipe: cache, Dalvik/Cache, Data and System partitions

7. Install rom XiaomiEU V11.0.4.0.QEJMIXM.zip

8. Flash DFE + Magisk

9. Reboot system

10. Complete ROM configuration

When I start again in recovery, it asks me for a password, informs me that data is encrypted and I cannot mount it, and I can't install anything.

However, if I flash TWRP 3.3.0.0 via fastboot, it no longer asks me for a password and I can mount the data partition and work normally.

If I flash again OFPR, PBRP or twrp-3.3.1-2-beryllium-adil2.img, ask me for a password again and it tells me that / data is encrypted

I tried to delete from /data/system the files locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm and locksettings.db-wal but it continues asking me for a password if the recovery is always different of TWRP 3.3.0.0
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] guhvanoh:
First off, your post belongs in the Q & A section. Please ask a moderator to move it as it has nothing to do with ROMs or development. Secondly, if official TWRP works, use it. Stop switching between recoveries and getting yourself all flustered.

PS: your English is fine. Don't sweat it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] otraver:
Thank's for your answer.

I don't know how conctact with the moderator. I'm a veteran user of the XDA-forums but I don't usually write frequently because my difficulty with the English language.

You're right. Here, in my country, we usually use this saying "if something works, don't touch it"

I wanted to try other recoveries because the official TWRP does not support USB-OTG access well.

About one year ago, I tried using a 256GB flashdrive with a m.2 ssd to perform a faster backup of the rom, but TWRP don't recognize the drive.

I read in these forums that TWRP had a problem managing USB-OTG and installed PBRP and it worked fine until last week I received the Miui11/Android10 OTA. After flashing it, PBRP started asking me for the password and displaying the message "I don't detect any rom installed". Despite having a recent backup (I always do it before flashing) I was a little scared.

I decided to reinstall TWRP by fastboot and I was surprised that the rom had been updated and everything worked ok.

As some colleagues tell me that I have the encrypted / data partition, I tried to make a format of the / data partition and new installation, with the result I commented above.

However, when I received the previous OTA, which was Android9 and Miui11, there was no problem.

I just wanted to share this strange situation.

I appreciate your message.

Hi bro I also facing same issue my problem is I m using orange fox recovery 10.0.1 version and when I flash miuiQ stable global with dfe it ask me to enter password when I boot to recovery don't know what happened. By the way is twrp official work perfectly????

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

So bro twrp official never give encryption error if I flash miuiQ using it right ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Fritzko:
Hey there!

I have the same Situation here and I figured at least some points out:

- the Upgrade to Android 10 encrypted the data Partition. You can see that in in your phone settings under security and password. For some security reasons of Android Q I guess.

But what password and how to change is a mystery. There are tons of articles out there which are related to "encrypt with lock screen password" but thats something different. We have this Option too in developer settings but it is not Set. So the way of our New encrypted device is still a Secret.

- Official twrp is the only one to decrypt the data correct. If you go to the "save logs" section in twrp and save it you can see the log and it says that it decrypts with Standard password. But I wasnt able to find out that this is. And as I stated before we dont use the lockscreen password to decrypt, I tried to change and disable it but guess what... I didn't change anything.

I hope we can figure out as a community what's exactly going on here.

I don't think it works, but sure I will try it.

I have already tried everything I have been reading through many forums and I always get the same result.: the ****ing password

I have tried to deactivate the PIN, screen pattern, passwords, I have even logged off the Mi account and then I have tried to flash OFRP, PBRP and a TWRP mod and always, always ask me for password

I've tried booting on TWRP

1. Factory reset

2. Format data (not only wipe) (I answer "yes")

3. Reboot recovery

4. wipe cache, Dalvik / cache, Data and System

5 Install rom (miui_POCOF1Global_V11.0.4.0.QEJMIXM_74f88e6c8f_10.0.zip)

5. Flash twrp

6. Flash orange fox + DFE + magisk

7. Start rom and configure.

And without entering a PIN or blocking pattern, only gmail and Mi account and when returning to reboot in recovery it asks me again for a password.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Susurs:
Hi,

Is there some info and specs about Diamond GPU as well as information if it's working correctly?

I believe there should be better 3D performance and no lagging with all this Touch FLO 3D if it's enabled...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] massimax:
it IS enabled indeed. TF3D lag isn't linked to poor graphics performance, in fact it takes a bit to load the tabs, but the transition effects are smooth as silk
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Riel:
yes, once in TF3D, it runs damn fast itself.

Just seems WM6.1, what lies underneath it, can't make use of it and is slow there.

Anyway, think in future we will profit :)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Metalhead520:
My pixel 4 XL literally lost 6% battery power after just a restart. I know letting the phone die completely is actually bad for the battery but should I actually do that to reset my battery? Losing 6% battery power in less than 20 seconds of restart is very strange. Anyone else have this problem and what did you do to fix it? Thanks in advance for anyones help with this.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] CheatingOutlaw:
I lose 2 or 3% each restart. It's really weird and consistent. Happens every time. Can't figure it out either.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
restarting the phone causes a lot of stuff to happen and depending on your apps, they can all be started during the boot
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Metalhead520:
I've been with Android for 10 years and no phone I've ever had goes from 100% full power plugged in to 94% in just a restart...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
I don't think so it has anything to do with battery consumption. It must be faulty battery counter where the actually battery % is not what you see and after a reboot the numbers are reset to the original battery% number. That's what i can think of
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Metalhead520:
That would be fine if the phone wasn't on the charger all night plugged in. There's no way a phone should drop 6% being at a full and constant 100% charge plugged into my wall charger. If the phone was off the charger at night I might understand the drop after a reboot to correct the percentage.

I restarted and lost 1%. [emoji2371]View attachment 4937757View attachment 4937759
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
But you might want to consider the possibility that charging stopped at 100% which wasn't obviously 100% in real. If it had dropped 6% straight away then i feel what I'm saying is correct.

You might wanna try to reboot by pressing the power button for about 40 seconds or so. You should have a reboot first and then it will vibrate and reboot again. That would reset the better stats but don't leave the power button until you hear there vibration after first reboot.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] lywyn:
Starting apps, checking filesystem, turning on radios and reconnecting and registering with cells/wifi, starting the GCM sync tasks... and lots more.

Why would it no use a few percent of battery power restarting? My older tablet chews up 5% on restart is sluggish for first couple of minutes why the play services does all the background sync and backups.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Metalhead520:
Tried that trick you said to do, I didn't feel any vibrations although I let it restart three times while holding the power button down. Maybe that reset my stats. I'll know later when I wake up and take the phone off the charger and reboot if that did anything for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
Sure let me know! If it happens again i might know why.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Metalhead520:
So I think it worked even though I didn't feel a vibration. Only lost 1% restarting now
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
Great must be the faulty indicator stats. Although i was thinking it could also be that your phone stops charging at 100 and drain till 90 and start charging again.

This was the pattern on my Xperia before to avoid overcharging. Pixels might be doing the same if you put it for overnight charging.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Metalhead520:
Does that restart trick work for other phones too or just the pixel line?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
Should work or if they have any other way to reboot incase of a phone freezing then that method should also work
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Metalhead520:
Ok thank you for your help, I'll tell others to try the trick if they have batteries falling fast
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bluemgt06:
Lithium batteries do not have a battery memory, so there's no reason to fully drain a battery and then fully charge on any regular basis. Use and charge as needed.

It's also not normal for a phone to drop that much on a restart unless there is something wrong with either the battery or the power management circuitry.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] sruel3216:
Seemed to work for me also

I rebooted twice. First time after 40sec hold down and I lost 1%. Second time I lost 0%

I did not have a backup available to restore so I found myself falling on A2020G_PRO_V1.6_FULL_EDL to get my phone up and running. The moden image was not the same as that on the A2020U so I was not having any cell signal. I had a modem backup so I used that to flash and got cell reception. Now, I want to go back to A2020U so I will not have to deal with modem issues after any update. I have this SD update and I am wondering if I can run it to overwrite the A2020G. Do I need to format any partitions before doing this or I will be okay to just flash the update.zip? I will appreciate any help that you can give me.
