Well.. Unfortunately it didn't work as I had hoped..When rebooting the device it now goes straight to fastboot mode.

I have tried to delete the folders ending on 27, 28 and 29 and leaving the current - ended up in system not being able to boot but just land in fastboot screen :( -

This AOSP is absolutely amazing, thank you very much for you work! :D(y)

Is there any simple way to edit the .img files before flashing them? I run vanilla with microg and a host of other modifications, and it's a bit of a hassle to manually move/install everything with root explorer again after flashing an update.

All I want to do is remove and add some apk's in the .img in /system really, I have some old tools but none of them do the job. Before going the trial and error route for some more hours I figured I might just ask you :)
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] eremitein:
just mount image. it's in raw format, not sparse
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] GroovyG:
Wow thank you again, that tip was gold!

It works fine in windows even, I just installed OSFmount and Ext2 File System Driver, then the .img mounts as a virtual drive and everything can just be copied and pasted :D(y)

Good info. That Ext2FS driver is great. Makes it so easy to have all your files available from both windows and android.

Exactly which image needs to be flashed please help?(a64-ab or a64-a or ? )

Currently I'm on pie(inbuilt os no custom rom) so should I need to update forst to inbuilt os to Q and then flash this CAOS image or can I directly flash caos image thank you

And will this work on 2gb ram phone?

a64-ab

you can flash over Pie stock rom

should works, at least some users using CAOS with 2Gb devices

Hi everyone,

Just regged. onto the site after finding it on a websearch. I was looking to sim unlock my XdaIIi & quicky found the tool to do so. However when I try to download the file the screen keeps returning to 'User & Pword' screen! Do I have to be a member for a certain period of time before I can download any files?

Sorry for the total newbie question but how else will I learn if I dont ask.

Thanks guy's,

Keep up the good work.

Greetings,

Back in the day the only reason i didnt upgrade from my P2 to mi a3 is the fact that the android one didnt allow for more than 350nits brightness of the screen. I was wondering, folks who have installed custom rom's on mi a3 with live display option (crdroid 6.8 for example), do you have the option of high brightness mode / outdoor mode on mi a3? Is the brightness signficantly higher than on stock rom?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:
No not one bit. Still 350 nits on all ROMs at the moment if I remember correctly

FAQs

I'm getting the "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it." Error, what should I do now?

Flash the vbmeta using this command :

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

I'm getting the "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" Error, does that mean that the images are corrupt?

No! Just ignore the error, if you get the "Finished" message it means that the image has been flashed without any issues.

Can I cross-flash images?(CN -> IN & vice versa)

Some users have reported that the images can't be flashed due to different partition sizes, proceed at your own risk!

Hi Acervenky,

My mobile auto updated to version 39. I was trying to install a GSI but it failed to boot.

Now, I am unable to flash the OLD fastboot files successfully.

Coincidentally I had my old ozip file (version 33) in my phone storage. But when I try to install that from the standard recovery, it says that - I am trying to install an old version firmware and then it fails the update process after that message.

I tried extracting the fastboot files for the "new 39 version" OZIP, but when I flash them it does not boot. It keeps going back to boot-loader. Does it mean that my fastboot files are not good? (I tried following your process, but not sure what went wrong)

Can you PLEASE help me with the fastboot files for the latest version 39?

Also as you are an expert, I have the following questions -

1 - HAVOC GSI Rom had installed succesfully, but it had a bug where if I place my phone in DND then it would forever mute my ringtones. So I thought I would flash back to stock and then install the GSI again. Cleared user data and cache using the following commands, full formatted using stock recovery. But somehow even after all this the GSI DND bug was retained in new installs.

Stock sound works fine, but no matter what GSI I install, it all had that bug. Is there any way I can clear all the contents using fastboot as there is no TWRP for this device. Wish we had TWRP but we dont.

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot gsi wipe - did not work. it said I had no GSI install.

2 - Other device users were able to root thier GSI using magisk patch method. But mine never worked except in stock rom and with the magisk patched boot file that was uploaded by Sukhad (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83117333&postcount=8). Not sure if the boot file(version 39) that I used for patch was not extracted properly.

3 - One of the installs went wrong and now my phone is bricked. Your previous version helped me unbrick my phone. Could you kindly help me with the latest version fastboot files? (version 39, india)

Device is Realme X3 Superzoom (India )

https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update

Version 39
[Realme X3 SuperZoom Guides, News, & Discussion] acervenky:
One of the users from X50 Pro thread mentioned the use of Realme Flash utility to restore his device to complete factory state, can you check if it is available for your device?

And about your GSI issue, some files stick even if you factory reset; the issues are different according to devices and can carry on to other roms depending on the file in question.

acervenky

Unfortunately it did not work when I tried. But your fastboot files helped me unbrick my phone.

Right now, it says that it cannot update and it fails (as I am trying to flash 33 but my system was recently updated to 39).

I am hoping that your fastboot files (version 39) will be able to unbrick as it did earlier...

I was a little disappointed after buying my Poco f2 pro to find the USB-C was not USB 3.1 or 3.0 and just 2.0 . I am guess it is a hardware restriction... I was looking at the teardown and the USB PCB is quite small and independent. IF someone made a USB 3.0 version, could it be swapped and would it work?

One of the main things I would was from the USB 3.0 upgrade would be the ability to use USB-C to hdmi dongles etc...

One thing you want to do is, after you play 2 new songs, exit the game, go to the GH folder, and make the 2 songs read-only. Then restart the game and resume playing for 2 more new songs, rinse and repeat.

This way you avoid having to redownload songs you have already downloaded/played once.

I've followed directions exactly in the thread about formatting the SD card in my Samsung Tab A as internal storage.

I even formatted the drive from the tablet, unmounted/remounted, reformatted...same result every time [SD card not found!

Once an external SD-card plugged into Android device gets formatted to be used as Adoptable Storage, Android encrypts the external SD-card, thus, it gets tied to this specific Android device. The key used to encrypt the data on the external SD-card is stored on the Android device’s internal memory. So, it is not possible to mount the Adopted Storage to another device because of its encrypted nature.

Years ago I had a Sony Experia phone. At some point an major update became available. However, along with the release notes was a explicit warning that the resource use of the update is greater, and that the performance of the phone may degrade. Further it warned that this would be irreversible as reverting was not possible.

I don't know if Sony still does this, but I think all manufacturers should. Even Apple IOS degrades performance after a few upgrade cycles on old devices, which is also irreversible unless an unlock hack is released.

Each person should be informed and be able to decide. Do I want the latest features and security, and willing to sacrifice speed?

And about downgrading, you can dirty flash your phone to any version (but don't downgrade your Android version, as some apps may render useless) via MiFlashtool. Use "save user data" option. Anti Rollback is not exist on Begonia. God thanks they didn't **** this phone further.

If yes, can you point me to some tutorial?

Thanks
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kekesed97:
My device have Magisk, EdXposed, and OrangeFox installed.

As flashing by custom recovery may render bootloop, and flashing by fastboot mode via MiFlash Pro reject downgrade, the only solution left is either XiaomiFlash or SP Flashtool. But SP Flashtool is locked to service account, so your only choice is XiaomiFlash.

I've red every flash command on XiaomiFlash, and the "Save user data" option format every partition EXCEPT user data (/data and emulated storage), basically the same operation to be performed when you install any rom via any custom recovery.

Fastboot flash leave the data intact for upgrading, but rejects downgrade. But in XiaomiFlash, as I wrote above, it should work bidirectional.

And don't worry about Anti Rollback. Since I've bootlooped over and over, I've performed countless Downgrade and Upgrade. But do at your own risk tho.

Hope that help.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pujolsk:
