[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baboon23:
Hi friends !

With the aid of the amazing XDA devs, I am able to run LineageOS (V16) completely happy.

All I am missing now is a tool for MAC Randomization (spoofing) and same for Device ID.

Back in 2014 we used to have Pry-Fi but I am not sure it works anymore and don't want to risk a beautiful setup :)

May I please have you recommendation for a permanent root randomizer for both MAC and ID ?

Something that knows how to randomize rather than the usual "one time change" ... And that holds a restart without reverting back.

Thanks ahead folks and stay safe

Hey,

Quick rundown: Stuck in a bootloop to some sort of empty bootloader screen which has the readout:

"Start/Restart Bootloader/Recovery Mode/Power Off"

"Press volume key to select, and press power key to select"[Regarding above options]

"FastBoot Mode

PRODUCT_NAME - sdm845

VARIANT - SDM UFS

BOOTLOADER VERSION -

BASEBAND VERSION -

SERIAL NUMBER - [Gonna leave this out for now]

SECURE BOOT - yes

DEVICE STATE - unlocked" [this line is in red]​

Every choice besides Power Off returns me to the same window. What can I do to recover from this?

Background:

So I was trying to update my OP6 to the current OxygenOS while keeping my root using TWRP and Magisk, which I've done in the past without any issue(i.e. go in recovery flash OS, flash current TWRP, reboot back to recovery, flash current Magisk as I understand it). However this time I was running into an issue flashing the Oxygen update getting an error that said it "failed to map file" for the zip. My first instinct was to update TWRP to see if the newest version didn't run into this issue so I flashed that followed by the current Magisk(no reboot in between). After booting back to standard operations everything seemed fine. I went back into recovery and tried the OS update again, but hit the same issue.

I couldn't find anything specific to OP6 with this issue, but similar questions with other devices suggested clearing the dalvik cache, which I tried to no useful effect. Then I came across this thread (forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygen-os3-i-have-a-problem-please-help.440587/page-2 too new to hyperlink) and did what I think really messed me up which was boldly follow this guy's advice to do an advanced wipe of everything but internal storage(I also left USB storage intact) from TWRP. This failed to fix the issue with the file mapping error when I subsequently tried to flash the update, though I was able to flash TWRP and Magisk successfully again before rebooting and ending up in this loop.

Any assistance in fixing this or general tips on how to not be foolish when messing around with this stuff is greatly appreciated.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jokyo:
Update:

So I followed the advice gleaned from the resourceful person here(https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/help/bootloader-baseband-versions-blank-t3927565) to try working with the device from my computer with fastboot. At first it would recognize the device as "Android" but be unable to find a driver for it and adb/fastboot both failed to recognize it as a device. After installing MiniTool(more as a way to backup what was on the SD card) the proper device driver also got installed and I was able to access it with fastboot; I ran into similar issues as the linked thread above, solved it by switching to b(still failed) then back to a.

Currently I've got it booted into TWRP and I'm working on getting the current Oxygen .zip copied onto the phone storage but the transfer keeps failing after moving a negligible amount.

Update 2:

Via TWRP was able to sideload the current up-to-date standard OS onto it, however my Google backup seems to have decided to disappear on me and the only OP backup I have is ages old. Anyone have recommendations on data recovery tools?

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jokyo:
Good to know, thanks for the info!

I assume that happened when I messed around with advanced wipe, do you know which of the folders I selected that would have been under? And just for future awareness, would that have not occurred had I just used TWRP's standard wipe instead?

Your device is bricked

If able to access the TWRP recovery then boot into twrp and try to get all the data stored in your computer.

Then use the Qualcomm flash tool to completely recover from your hard bricked OP6.

Then its easy, again unlock boot-loader flash TWRP and magisk.:o

Well I figure this is the proper place to put this, odds are almost no one will read it, but whatever. I've been around here for not yet a year and have learned a lot, and I have been amazed by the graphic and programming talents of many people.

While I understand a certain impatience/anxiety when waiting for a new release (ROM, theme, whatever...) from your favorite cook, designer, etc. there really isn't a need to clog the discussion thread up with posts that just say you are waiting. It doesn't contribute suggestions to the author, or help others.

On those lines...most people in here have lives outside of this forum, and programming, and hopefully our phones (don't get me wrong I love my phone, but I'll put it down in a heartbeat to go play with my daughter). So when you are anxiously waiting for that release posting comments like "oh [insert author here] hasn't posted an update in so it must mean they abandoned the project" is inconsiderate.

Is there a chance that they abandoned it, well yes, but odds are they would post something saying so. Most likely life got in the way (family, friends, going on holiday, computer crashing, programs failing, fire, flood, famine, etc). Give them time, most likely they will deliver what they promised. Complaining about the time it takes for someone to develop a FREE program/theme is hard for me to understand.

Well there is my 2cents...so comment away, flame, ban me, what ever. I just had to put it out there, and I wanted to do it somewhere other than the last thread I read that set me on this rant.

The thing is that this is the nature of 'useful information'.

If the site was another drone the nature of the post would reflect that. They would be limited. But XDA is a site that has far reaching uses and applications, its only right that there's going to be some runoff.

Hello Pixel 3a users :)

I'm looking for a ROM that fits the following criteria.

AOSP-based

Android 9 Pie

No Gapps

I've searched the web a great deal and found just two ROMs that appear to match the criteria. They are:

[ROM] [9.0.0] 家 BootleggersROM 4.2-Stable 家 [Unshishufied]

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3a/development/rom-bootleggersrom-4-2-stable-t3942927

(The TWRP flashable zip version has Gapps, however, it seems the image files don't include Gapps?)

[ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] Lineage OS 16.0 -- 7/10/19

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3a/development/rom-lineage-os-16-0-7-10-19-t3947441

I would love to try Bootleggers 4.2, but can't since there appears to be no working links. I tested Lineage OS 16 somewhat, and had poor battery life (need to perform further testing).

Does anybody happen to know if there are any other ROMs to try or if there are any working links to try Bootleggers 4.2?

StaticX OS (Pie) and Dirty Unicorns (Pie) include Gapps, unfortunately.

Any info is appreciated, thanks!

I am new to the boards and to the PPC community. I am loving my new P4000 on the Telus network. However, I find there are a few programs that i just do not use and am looking for a stripped down ROM that will work with Telus.

I would like to find something that does not have live messenger or internet exploder. I would prefer to use Opera or something of the like for my browsing purposes.

I am sure there is more "junk" that can be removed to increase the performance of this device. Being new I am not sure I am asking the correct questions or misunderstanding how ROMs work.

Please let me know if this is possible or if it has already been done.

It doesn't turn off it just goes black that's if you stop touching the screen or you stop moving the device. aside from that I have not been able to see if anything else is affected but I can get the kernel versions updated at least two 3.18.22 but I haven't continue further because of this the weirdness.

Fix MediaTek no display bug

MediaTek has a family of SoCs that are used in (among other devices) several Chromebooks, such as the MT8173 used in the Lenovo N23 Chromebook and Acer Chromebook R13, plus the MT8183 in the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook. We are working hard to have better upstream support for these devices, especially Enric Balletbo, who has been involved in kernel and Chromebook upstream support for a long time. The displays on MT8173 based devices were not functional when using the mainline kernel, this has been rectified with this kernel release.

The cause of this defect was a conflict between the clock and DRM drivers. He found that two different drivers - the MT8173 clocks controller driver, and the MT8173 DRM driver were using the same compatible string mediatek,mt8173-mmsys. This is a problem since in such cases only the first matched driver will be probed. The other one, in this case the DRM driver, never gets probed and so the display was not made available for use. In a collaborative effort between Enric Balletbo and the MediaTek SoC maintainer Matthias Brugger, a top level mmsys driver (Multi-Media subsystem) was introduced to register the clock and DRM drivers. See 1, 2.

Linux 5.8 probably fixed your display bug. What is the chance of moving this tablet up to android 10/11?
