Mi A3 weirdly stuck in fastboot mode, please someone help

I recently opened my mi A3's bootloader and then flashed twrp image as it was error or something, my phones got stuck on fastboot mode and after that I have to flash stock rom v11.0.11.0 through mi flash tool and I successfully worked but then I installed magisk and flashed boot image to obtain boot image and that too successful worked but guess what real problem starts here, after the other day I restarted my device and android one logo showed up and then it got stuck on fastboot mode, then I have to again flash the same rom and again patched boot image file to get my phone back working and it went well for 2-3 days but suddenly, yesterday magisk notified that "DTFO is patched, tap to reboot" and I ignored and after that after few hours my phone automatically got restart and stuck on fastboot again and now when I try to flash the same rom again, it takes more than 3500s in mi flash tool and still not showing success, currently stuck on fastboot, no flash tool is working, can someone help please??

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] nuserame:
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s was my top choice for phone to buy until I today read the Forbes article about Xiaomi spywware (different from bloatware… it's send user behaviour data to Chinese servers about not just web use but even music, folders, status bar, app use…

Questions:

1. Do European firmware also have this problem?

2. Will community ROMs like LineageOS solve this problem?

3. Can modified hosts file solve this problem?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] xsam123:
The problem is with Xiaomi browser, you can use another browser you trust (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) and forget the concerns. However, Xiaomi released an statement two weeks ago explaining the data collected and a way to disable it. (https://blog.mi.com/en/2020/05/02/l...onse-to-media-coverage-on-our-privacy-policy/)

If you are very concerned about your privacy, yes, a custom ROM will help, because most customs ROMs are built over open source projects and focused on protect your data and privacy. Note that the Redmi Note 9S is new on the market, so the community development isn't mature enough. Maybe you can choose the Redmi Note 8, with more time on the market and with more community development available. Another alternative are Xiaomi Mi A2 or Mi A3, they have the advantage to have Android One, so you get rid of Xiaomi Services -and possible spying- out of the box.

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] lendawg:
Like the title states. I'm just wondering how well the v 60 does with gaming etc. Specifically cod mobile and pubg. Looking to upgrade my 7t pro McLaren and wondering if it's worth it to go to this phone. Is the screen easily viewed I'm bright sunlight? I read somewhere the screen is only a little more then 500 nits which compared to my McLaren isn't very good. How does the resolution look? Is it noticable that it's only 1080p? Is the 60hz refresh rate noticably slower or more laggy then 90 hz?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
The screen will be plenty bright enough compared to the McLaren, but other than being able to use the dual screen as a gamepad, I don't think you'd be gaining anything performance wise with this upgrade other than audio and battery life.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] lendawg:
Would you say gaming performance "feels" the same or worse than the McLaren?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
I only used the McLaren for a couple of days, so I may not be the best judge. But I prefer the V60 because of the gamepad on the dual screen, and the flat screen. I didn't really use it long enough to judge whether you will notice the difference in refresh rate. I'm a OnePlus fan coming from a 6t, but the battery life, and dramatic curved screen bothered me. The battery life in the V60 when not using the dual screen is shockingly good. The other day, without gaming, I pulled 30hrs and 9.5 hrs of SOT. But the performance increase from an SD855+ to the 865 is going to be unnoticeable.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] lendawg:
Wow that is insane battery life! Is 1080p noticable compared to QHD? Also, how is the software/UI? I had a v20 and the software/ui was terrible.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
I don't really notice the difference between 1080 and the QHD in my wife's Note10. I also had the V20 and the software is miles better than it was back then, but it's still not anywhere as clean and nice as OnePlus. Overall I'm very happy with the device as it's a big improvement over my 2yr old 6t in every way. Screen, camera, performance, battery, multitasking and audio are all better, but depending on the deal you get, and how much you value the dual screen, and superior audio, it may not be much of an upgrade over a much newer McLaren 7t pro.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] lendawg:
Would you mind sharing some screenshots of the settings app, phone app, quick pulldown and message apps?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Mejilan:
I've never used a OnePlus device, so I can't speak to a direct comparison between the MacLaren 7T Pro and the LG 60.

But I am coming from an open-market LG V30+ (which I rooted but kept on highly customized stock firmware). Even without root, I was able to adapt most of those customizations to the V60 without serious issue.

Heavily tweaked third-party launcher, icon pack, third-party gestures, beautiful live wallpaper, dark/black mode everywhere. You get the idea.

The LG V30+ had a smaller and higher resolution screen compared to the V60; so the combination of a significantly larger screen running at a lower resolution results in a fairly obvious DPI difference.

That said, we're not talking about a 65-inch TV here. These are largely devices with 4- to 7-inch screens, and the resolution change actually doesn't bother me (though it is noticeable). For these sizes, I find that 1080P suffices. YMMV.

And I have to say, the side benefits of having a 1080P screen running at a standard 60 Hz may well be worth the trade-off.

I've had this phone for a little over a month now, and I noticed last night when I went to plug the phone in before turning in to bed myself, that after around 15 hours of being unplugged, I still had 96% of my battery life.

Granted, I didn't use the phone heavily yesterday (I tend to disconnect a bit on weekends). But my aging V30+ never pushed numbers like. Not during its prime, and certainly not after 2.5+ years of daily use.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] lendawg:

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] lendawg:
Wow thanks so much for such an I'm depth explanation! The software definitely looks much better then my old v20 and the way you have it set up looks great! I think I may be retiring my McLaren early lol.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Mejilan:
Thank you. And you're welcome. I'm pretty fond of the look, and it does wonders for battery life. I wish I had an easy way of making a quick 30 (or so) second video of my software environment in action.

I edited my response above to include an app I forgot to mention. I've copied the relevant portion into this post.

Edit - And above THAT, right at the bottom of the status bar, I have Energy Bar - A Pulsating Battery Indicator set up to, well, display my battery level as a percentage-based bar. Sadly, it's a hold-over from my LG V30 days, and this version of the app doesn't support the V60's front-camera notch. Not much we can do about that, but I still like the thing too much to eliminate it. It supports up to four colors/gradients at every 25% breakpoint IIRC, but I have the whole set up to be a straight white bar. I'm thinking of perhaps making the 75%, 50% and 25% breakpoints change to increasingly dimmer shades of gray, but I haven't managed to work up the energy (heh) to do so yet. That's funny. The Home Screen screen cap actually shows the full Energy Bar as if the notch wasn't there. On my actual device, in front of my face, the part of the Energy Bar that overlaps with the camera notch is simply sliced off. There's a gap right in the middle of it, representing perhaps 15% of the battery bar, give or take.

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Great write up! One question, doesn't Nova break multiwindow and pop out window functionality? When I used Nova, if I use the multiwindow feature, then exit out of it, it completely breaks the recent apps functionality
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Mejilan:
Thanks! And nope! I tested this out a few weeks ago in another thread and had no issues with it.

But I'll test it again. Give me a minute...

...

...

...

Still with me?

I just set up Chrome as a Pop-Up window, and Youtube as a Multi-Window, then made Chrome as a second Multi-Window.

Then I used Fluid Navigation Gestures to pull up Recents (swipe up from the bottom/middle of the screen and hold it for a second, before releasing), and had no issues closing everything out.

Now, when I repeat the gesture to pull up Recents again, it just says "No recent items" as it should.

Edit - I should probably clarify that I use FNG as my main replacement for Android 10's stock gestures. I've been using FNG since my Android 8-equipped V30+, fell in love with it, prefer it to Google's gestures, and made sure I could continue to use it on this phone. I only use two of Nova's gestures. Swipe down from anywhere to pull down the Notification Shade (great for one-handed use where I can't reach the status bar with one hand) and swipe up from anywhere to pull up the All Apps screen. But for everything else, I use FNG.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
I figured out that it only does it if you use the stock gestures. Once I installed fluid gestures and ran the adb command the problem went away. Now I can use Nova again. Thank you
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Mejilan:
Fantastic. I love Nova. And my desire to play with navigation gestures on my V30 (when I knew we'd never get them officially) led me to research some third-party options.

FNG impressed me the most, and I've been using it, I don't know, probably close to two years now? To be honest, I never even gave the stock Android 10 gestures a try.

I immediately disabled them, installed FNG, did the ADB thing to hide the Nav Bar, and never looked back.

The little I've read of the stock gesture system that was introduced with Android 10... well, let's just say I wasn't exactly climbing out of my chair in anticipation of trying them out.

Not after having grown used to FNG over the years. I just love the LOOK of FNG, too. I've got the visual effect maxed out in Settings.

Excited to jump back on the lg bandwagon! Thanks for all of your help!
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] lendawg:
Ok....one more question. I know battery life is phenomenal when you're using the phone on its own. How is battery life when using it with the dual screen?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Honestly I'm impressed either way. Obviously battery life is less when it's powering 2 screens at the same time, but even then it would get me through a normal day. I'm sure I could easily still pull 7hrs SOT even in the dual case
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] lendawg:
Wow man that is awesome I really can't wait to get mine. Most likely be ordering next week!

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
I'm rooted on stock Nougat ROM (I think... I rooted it a couple years ago), bootloader unlocked.

A few days ago my phone just stopped booting up correctly. It boots to the blue Moto screen with the boot animation but stays there forever.

I can get into TWRP and view all of the files in system, Internal SD card, and External SD card. I've backed up a bit of it just in case but I'm hoping someone here can tell me what to try to get it to boot correctly.

Is there a quick or obvious way to fix this that anyone is aware of?

I have an old TWRP backup and when I go into "Restore" I have the option to restore System, Data (excl. storage), Boot, Recovery, EFS, and logo... so is worth it to try restoring one of these (such as boot or system)?

I'm looking to try the safest things first... I really don't want to have to wipe my device or worse, brick it.

Thanks
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Klen2:
Well, if you don't have any important data in the phone (you can copy files via USB), you can just do factory reset and see
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
Well, I have some important data but I can backup my /data/ folder. The problem (other than the fact that it will take a lot of time) is that I'm not sure how to restore the apps and data once I factory reset it.

It would be different if they were Titanium Backup backups but I don't know of a way to restore an app with just having the apps data folders.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
What will happen if I go into TWRP and Install the stock rom zip file? Will I lose data or root or mess with anything important?
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Klen2:
More generally:

a) your problem may be in system - then reflashing system would help. It can be done without loosing data

b) your problem may be in data (which is more likely) - you have to wipe data

a) Reflashing system can be done by flashing correct images via fastboot (using script that doesn't wipe data) or in recovery if you have flashable zip of your rom (I'm not sure whether there are any). However, even after flashing system, it still may not work because of some conflicts with data so wiping data may be unavoidable

b)how to minimalize losses: what kind of important data do you have? If it is files, they can be copied easily. If it is app data, it's harder. However, if you have Google Backup turned on, most apps use it to backup their data. What particular app's data do you need to save, if you don't mind telling?

I know there used to be app that was able to extract individual app's data from TWRP backup and restore it. Maybe it was Titanium Backup Pro. But as nowadays non-cloud backups aren't a thing anymore, these apps quite vanished or their development stopped and they also may not work with new android versions.

You can download stock firmware here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/

Nougat is available for RETAIL, RETLA, RETRU, RETUS and VZW. Where did you buy your phone? It is best to flash the ROM for the same region to avoid problems if you want to keep data. But you can flash any.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
Honestly, what I needed to recover were unread messages/whatsapp messages I never read and mostly just to avoid the headache or starting over but I'm over that. And what you said about using Titanium Backup to restore individual apps from a nandroid backup... that's exactly what I read about yesterday and was planning on doing.

Just now I tried restoring an old system backup and and a recent data/system backup but both times it got stuck at boot... so I think I'm either going to just flash my stock rom or do a restore of my system/data from last year...

My phone was running "Albus 7.1.1/NPS26.118-24/25" and I found a zip named "ALBUS_C_NPS26.118-24_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip" (which has SW listed as "SW Version: albus_c-user 7.1.1 NPS26.118-24 25 release-keysM8953P_23.33.07.34R") so I think I found the right one.

Would you recommend restoring system and data from a working (but old) backup in TWRP or just flashing my rom again?

Also, I'm not sure if I need to reflash magisk or flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip (or wipe something).

Either way, I'm going to just try one of those once I hear you recommendation.

Thanks
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Klen2:
SMS may be backed up by Google, WhatsApp not if you didn't have automatic backup turned on (or done backup manually).

First of all, I would flash just system and other stuff except data. I don't recommend flashing official zips in recovery. If the phone is rooted, they will fail anyway and they may delete data. It is better to flash via fastboot. Do you remember your update channel Do you have US retail device? Then you may try the zip you found. But not in recovery. It is not a recovery flashable zip. Extract it and I will send you a .bat file to flash via fastboot.
