[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] :
Hi, i decided to flash aosp extended but went immediately back to MIUI 11 because of some crashes.

I clean flash MiUI by fastboot, but it goes on bootloop.

Here's what i tried:

1) Install Orangefox recovery

2) Clean flash aosp based rom (wiping everything except sd-card)

3) Boot custom rom

4) Clean flash MIUI (both 11 and 10)

I solved every problem flashing by fastboot the latest roms https://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700340

but now it seems both with fastboot and .zip with Orangefox are stuck on bootloop.

I also tried wiping everything and clean flash with twrp with the same result.

Solved

1) Flash TWRP or OrangeFox (i did it with OF)

2) Clean Flash any custom rom, probably still bootloop

3) Reboot recovery

4) Wipe everything (dalvik, data, system, cache), also format data (format ≠ wipe)

5) Reboot recovery

6) Flash your MIUI rom

7) Reboot recovery

8) Repeat step #4

9) Reboot recovery

10) Flash again your MIUI rom

11) Reboot recovery

12) Flash persist.img file in persist partition, you can find this file in your fastboot MIUI rom downloaded at https://c.mi.com/miuidownload/index

13) Reboot system

14) Wait a lot, take a cup of tea.​

[Fire TV General] Skel40:
This guide will show you the prerequisites for your unlocked Fire TV device including (4K Mantis), (HD Tank), etc. It's always important to know not to backup both the vendor and vendor image in TWRP because I was affected by it on two Fire TV's that don't have factory images unlike the main android phone in which has factory images (LG, Samsung, etc.) Ok the main point here is to warn you guys to NOT backup the vendor and vendor images since they make the Fire TV device brick and unbootable regardless what prerooted rom you flash, what you wipe in recovery, factory resetting the whole device WILL NOT fix this problem. Always backup system, boot, data only and you should be fine. Although there's an issue with the restoration process as well rebooting me to TWRP after a successful backup restoration, there's a simple fix for that. Flash a prerooted rom and you're good to go! If somebody in the XDA community for Fire TV devices reach out to me on showing us how to flash the vendor.img and other important files in fastboot mode with a working iso that can support fastboot functionality for Fire TV when you get into these issues. If you do end up backing up both vendors and restoring it as a TWRP backup, it wipes system components of your device which make your device stay on the Amazon screen (HD Tank) firetv (4K Mantis). Please take note with this issue so you aren't affected by this and ask questions if needed. We also need a more stable TWRP recovery image for Fire TV Stick 4K without vendor, vendor image, system image in the backup when backing up your device and other important bugs that need fixing (APPLIES on all recent Fire TV recoveries) They're very unstable and cause a ton of problems which cannot be currently resolved in this moment in time.
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
Just a few thoughts...

First, the Fire Stick gen. 2 called 'tank' hasn't got a vendor partition at all.

Second, in case of a firmware down- or upgrade, the 4k stick called 'mantis' needs both, the system and the vendor partition, flashed with twrp. Both images are included in the prerooted rom and also in the stock update bin's

Messing arround with TWRP and wiping the hell out of the EMMC (without any clue) isn't recommended :D

But of course, for both sticks are stock firmware packages aviable! The url's were already posted in the corresponding threads.

The TWRP image is stable, same as the builds for other devices. Yeah, TWRP it isn't perfect, but to say 'it's very unstable and cause a ton of problems' is somewhat of fake news ;)

At least, I saw no one has voted and/or replied to your thread for now... may be you could include a third row to the poll asking 'If you think this guide is utter sh*t, vote this one'

You see, I don't want to be rude, but I think with a third option in the poll you may get an idea what other users think about it... lets say as a feedback, I hope you get me right.

All in all, my opinion is your 'guide' is misleading, incorrect and full of false informations.
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
Ok man TWRP is really unstable. I've done tests with backups and other stuff what I'm saying is that backing up the vendors isn't recommended due to undergoing problems with bricking. TWRP automatically wipes the vendors when you restore it and makes your device unbootable. Same goes with backing up the 3 partitions as well like I said causes a bootloop back to TWRP until you flash a rom over it. Ok you're talking about the prerooted stock rom on here. Where's the original packages with a filename ending with a .bin? There's not even a flash tool available at the moment either in which is required to be booted into download mode to get the official stock rom up and running so again. I know you're trying to not be rude or anything it's a matter of test in progress. Here's the best way to put it to you. Ok so if I bricked my LG device and disabled oem which is necessary to enable when unlocking the bootloader, I obviously need a flash tool like LG Bridge that can find the official rom for my device and restore it fully back to factory defaults without the unlocked bootloader with TWRP and the need of rooting. After it's done flashing, it's fully back to normal like I first bought it so what I'm asking here is if it were possible to get a tool for Fire TV, I think it would help a lot to get out of these situations for the average Amazon user who wants to revert back to 100% stock.
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
You never find official tools for fire devices, your best bet is TWRP. Besides that you have a full working 'hacked' fastboot too. Hacked means that fastboot is able to run any commands and flash every image to whatever partition you like.

If you look thru the 4k prerooted thread, you find an stock update bin renamed to zip, it's stored on mega... This one is the newest aviable stock rom as of today. There may be some older ones too, hosted from amz (cloudfrnt link).

In case you flash that renamed bin file, system and vendor is full stock. A TWRP factory reset or wipe data gets rid of any crap (and magisk addons).

Just to be safe, you may flash the latest kamakiri zip file behind that. It updates the TZ image as well.

If the stick doesn't work after that, something is damaged... electrostatic discharge or something like that.

Additional, if you want a complete unroot, you have to extract the boot.img, the LK + TZ + PL images from the stock.bin... and flash this images via hacked fastboot. Details were a few times mentioned in the 4k unbrick/root thread.

PS: I take only full backups with twrp, haven't got any restore failure.

The only thing that could cause failures like that, is if someone use an unpowered USB Hub together with a whatever usb-storage for the backup/restore.
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
How do I get fastboot to detect properly? I've already ran the exploit on both Fire TV's with the 4K root guide, adb works but fastboot doesn't seem to work. I made sure fastboot was installed properly and it is. I may need the Fire TV Stick 4K drivers for fastboot to get this working. Any ideas?
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
In TWRP is an option to boot into unlocked/hacked fastboot.

No, you don't need any firestick drivers, since there are none.

If your PC doesn't see your fastboot device, the fastboot version is too old (there is a bug in the older fastboot sources). Try to use at least ubuntu 18.04 and run this:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-serial adb fastboot
sudo systemctl stop ModemManager
sudo systemctl disable ModemManager

If you use the fireISO, that won't work. Instead try this:

pacman -Sy
pacman -Sy fastboot

Of course you need to set up a wifi connection infront of the update.

Thanks so much man! I successfully got my two Fire TV's back up and running, I should've reedited this "guide" as a troubleshooting q and a post since there's like no reason to post something useless on here.
[Fire TV General] is0xxx:
Hi,

I have a couple questions about this. Recently rooted two Fire TV Sticks 3. Thx for that!

When i did a TWRP backup with it's default settings, all is fine.

* System Image

* Vendor Image

* Data (exl storage)

* Boot

After, i selected ALL partitions ( incl System/Vendor). Doing this (tested 2 times) results in not booting properly anymore. Very slow loading...and stuck on the Firetv logo...

It tries to boot but it just just doesn't work anymore?! I tested this 2x to see if this was the cause, it must be?!

Restored an original stock ROM and all is fine again. Anyone know what the problem is? A bug or something?

Another question is about the data.

When one fully tweaked the Fire TV Stick. Does a "FULL" backup restores all installed apps also? or like "Data (exl storage) it's stock again, and stays ROOTED?

Thx anyway :)

edit:

Seems correct.
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
Your full backup filled up all the free space... ;)

Doesn't make much sense to backup system, vendor and boot, because the backup takes an image of the partitions... which is really big in size. If you want to restore all those partitions, you can just flash a stock rom (+ magisk) again.

If you like to backup your sticks data, apps and so on, just backup data, done.
[Fire TV General] is0xxx:
@Sus_i

Ah, both make sense...My bad :p

Hi guys is there an app like viper4android that doesnt require root as I'm looking for a bit more volume out of my galaxy buds and just wondering if it was possible

Prefiberly system wide volume so works on all apps ect

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
I assume you already have the hardware volume button turned up all the way. Try Developer options > Disable absolute volume

Also, make sure you are using the proper size tips for your ear canal. With the medium sized tips, I was getting a lot of ambient noise. I switched to the large ones and they block out most ambient noise. If the largest tips don't help, then you may have to search Amazon for specialized tips.

Afaik, there is nothing like V4A for unrooted devices. V4A works its magic by using a special driver that bypasses the default system driver, which is impossible without root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] brockyneo:
Thanks for the reply I've changed to the bigger tips and did make a little difference I've just gone to developer options should the setting be selected on or off as this is my default lol

I've also tried selecting ldac as I've heard its ment to sound better but keeps setting back to default SBC :confused:

I have an iphone 11 pro max sat here too just debating which to keep but I think the note is just alot more device lol

You want to *disable* absolute volume, so toggle that switch to blue. I have never messed with codecs, so I can't advise you there.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] hajdudu123:
So, i ended up reflashing the stock rom with miflashtool, and everything was solved. I guess the connectivity gets messed up when you flash the custom recovery, i probably didn't do it properly, i'm not used to the a/b slots...

Not gonna mess with it anytime soon. I didn't like the custom rom anyway... the corners were not smooth, and in apps the display was not always used poperly...

With the stock rom i just flashed magisk for root and a few modules that i have used in every phone...
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] barth2:
With Android One and the stock ROM working so well it's frankly not worth it to mess with custom ROMs. As you say, just add magisk and a few modules and you're good to go. Ironically this phone has custom ROMs popping up left and right while other devices with terrible oem skins and bloat ware that could really use custom ROMs get nothing.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] hajdudu123:
I agree about everything you said ! But, you have to agree, myself, like most people here i presume, when we get a new smartphone, you have to mess with it a little bit. Where is the fun in having an iPhone for example, where you can't mess with anything ? (not judging or hating on iphones and their users, many people want that, and i perfectly understand) The most fun experience is when you mess up your phone and than try to fix it :D

And i have to say, i love this phone. It's amazing. Waiting for the official OTA for Android Q !

btw. when the update comes eventually, will magisk be an issue ? do i have to flash the stock boot.img to upgrade the os ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] barth2:
Yeah you haven't lived till you at it soft brick your phone [emoji3]

Depending on how you flashed your recovery, you may need to flash boot.img and possibly wipe your data. Hopefully only the first is necessary

What I did actually:

Unlock bootloader -> not happen

Install TWRP and not bricked -> not happen

Want stock firmware and do 'something'(can't remember what I did) with flashtool; I think this is the cause of this mess:eek:

Flash new firmware by EMMA -> yes

Flash new firmware again by newflasher -> yes

+add

Flash AOSP -> first boot : yes, turn off in developer option and reboot : no

I've already googled much but there's no sharp answer. Things like reset things.

And what I found another is when I connect my offed phone to pc, It automatically connected in flash mode(weak green led). This can be related to this problem.

Hello everybody.

I have a problem. I had a bootloop on my Blackview BV9000 Pro F so I had to reset the phone. But I wanted to backup my data with some tools, so I have to root this phone, to get to the deleted contacts.

My problem now is, that I can not root the phone. There are several pages, they found a solution (in this forum too), but every link is a dead link or the images aren't compatible with my phone.

What did I do, till now:

I ask for the newest ROM by Blackview - they didn't give me an answer or even post my question to their forum (maybe, because they're in holiday???)

I did unlock the phone, but can not find the right version of twrp for my phone. (Links are dead or not the right version)

Download and started the SP Flash Tool

Understand a little bit, how the partitions on the phone are made.

What do I have:

Phone: Blackview BV9000 Pro F

Buildnumber: BV_BV9000PRO_F_V0.7_20190321

Adroid Version: 8.0.0

I want to undelete my data, as far as possible. So I need help to root it.
