[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Affe2626:
Hi, I have an OnePlus 8 Pro coming from iOS. I've never had an Android device before except my eReader and I haven't customised that in any way since I just read books on it so I'm a complete noob.

I would like to get myself a minimal installation of Android without any bloat or Google services, instead I want MicroG + Aurora Store and F-Droid.

I have a few ideas on what to do:

Installing some precompiled GSI

Compiling AOSP from source

Compiling GSI from source

I've tried installing precompiled GSI from git hub.c0m/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases aswell as from Google with the instructions provided here source.and roid.c0m/setup/build/gsi

Boot to fastboot mode and unlock the bootloader. The devices supporting fastbootd also need to boot into fastbootd by:
$ fastboot reboot fastboot

Disable verify boot (AVB) by flashing vbmeta.img:
$ fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Erase and flash the GSI to the system partition:
$ fastboot erase system
$ fastboot flash system system.img

Wipe the user data and clear the data from other necessary partitions (for example, user data and system partitions):
$ fastboot -w

Reboot:
$ fastboot reboot

but I get stuck on the boot screen.

I use arm64 a/b vanilla images. Could anyone share image link + installation instructions if they've gotten it to work? I prefer dumb-proof instructions, especially when my stuff doesn't work.

I haven't tried compiling AOSP because I want some kind of confirmation of it working for other people before I try. I've heard that you just download the source and then add some vendor stuff in the manifest but I rather just use something precompiled first, and then compile something myself after I've tried the DeGoogled experience so I don't end up spending hours on something I don't even like. (Tinkering is fun but getting compilation errors is not).

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] PNT5V:
First of all, I would want to mention that the thread is from Mi A3, but since the community was too small to expect some help, and since I believed this issue could be affected to some Mi A1 device, I need to come over here to look for some hope. Thank you for understanding

I tried to flash stock rom through MiFlash after a few time sticking with custom ROM, didnt notice the default option was FlaSH aLL aND lOCk, and I am now stuck at fastboot. When I checked the command fastboot getvar all, it gave me 2 results, locked bootloader ( of course ), and active slot : B. After looking for some information, I knew that slot b could not be able to boot into stock rom and slot a could not boot to custom rom, I didnt notice that and totally forgot to change the slot, and the only option to bring my phone to life is to change the active slot to A. I belive the rom is still alive, it is just remaining some where in slot a. Is there any possible way to bring my Mi A3 back to life in any cost, either EDL or anything else? I tried EDL method ( no test point anyway ) but it gave me a big damn " cANnoT rEceIvEd HellO pacKeT ". I'm afraid no matter how many times I flashed, either in fastboot or in EDL, the active slot will stiill keep remaining b and never return to a without a bootloader unlocked, which mean the phone will permanently be bricked. Any hope for it? I will be appreciated

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Yincen:
In my opinion, make sure the ROM that you use for flashing is not corrupt, use the latest Miflash because according to my experience on, MI A1 version of Miflash must match the ROM version, and make sure the USB cable/port You use in good condition

And today after 24H speed gets normal that I have but again limited at 10Mb or 28Mb. I been reading on Google it's known issue and it's software Bec I have July patch so should I wait for update or? Anyone have idea what's the issue or Samsung plan to fix or anything would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: same issue on my note 9 happening suddenly I can tell it's only happening on July patch because my S10+ has August patch and no issues, OnePlus 7 pro no issues so I can confirm at least no router issue..

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] daybeers:
Hi there!

I have experience with unlocking bootloaders and rooting, but I am really really stuck here. I tried following these instructions with this MSM tool to convert it to an Unlocked version. My OP7P is stuck in an endless boot cycle and says "Upgrade download failed! Please check your download flow is right!" I don't like to leave it on the charger for very long because it just reboots endlessly and I don't think that's good for the phone, but otherwise it won't charge. My Windows computer doesn't recognize the device when checking for adb or fastboot in CMD. I can get it to be recognized in the MSM tool by holding the volume buttons and then plugging it in, and the process starts correctly, but fails after 10-15 seconds.

I have uninstalled and deleted and reinstalled drivers countless times. I've tried to follow these directions and these as well with the same results.

This is replacing a broken LG G6 with a non-functioning speaker mode, abysmal battery life, terrible camera quality, and slow performance. My purchase of the OP7P was supposed to solve all of that with a premium smartphone and right now it's just an expensive paperweight sitting on my desk.

What can I do? Thanks so much in advance!

Tool all in one, fastboot mode, flash Factory Images, download stock rom, check wipe all data and reboot after flash
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] amaroney55:
Ya do what he said do. But if using the msm tool open up device manager and plug in it phone and adb reboot edl whatever that command is. Then go to ports on the device manager and check and see if I have the qcom driver installed. I forget exactly what it supposed to say but it has 9008 in it. I am just gonna tell you I have 2 oneplus 7 pro both tmo brand. I converted them. But idk what it is tho. Each time I change phones to flash rom or whatever I do sometimes the way I do it changes. I am firm believer idc what so and so says it may work one way or another. These phones are crazy weird. The processes change like when I flash using the tool he is talking bout sometimes I lose my network sometimes I don't. Some ppl say when u flash twrp using magisk u gotta flash the the twrp zip once in twrp. Sometimes I don't have to. But when I do it says I lose root but I don't. Just check ur drivers and make sure ur using the right msm tool either global or the T-Mobile

I'm getting that if I'm trying to use wrong MSM tool on my TMO phone. It has to be one for TMO specifically, not any other universal MSM tool. So make sure you got TMO one.

Looks to me these are files/folders are created by WhatsApp: By default, WhatsApp will download all media files ( memes, greeting messages, photos, videos, audio, documents ) on your phone automatically. These media files can take up to hundreds of MBs space on your phone and cause performance issues.

There is an app called Cleaner for WhatsApp - available off Google Play Store. This app allows you to delete all WhatsApp media files and databases automatically. You can schedule time or set storage limit when you want to delete the data.

One Solution only for it.....

I think your phone has grabbed "worm" type of virus which doubles the initial files caused by one infected file in it. and it should be a hidden file that is a major cause of it....:silly::silly:

Solution Is -

Just format your phone by Recovery Mode, "Reset Data, Factory Reset".. If this dosen't Helps...

Try to flash your complete phone by Stock ROM of device... It will Definately helpfull..

Note :- Dont try to move or copy any file to any Computer, Devices or any Removable devices as they will get Infected by it....

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say..:)

I know what you're thinking: "uhmm, GSI.. case closed".

However, I mean a type of OS that would literally be usable on any device with minimum requirements, and thus basically all smartphones on the market these days.

Would this even be possible considering how software & hardware communicate?

I'm a industrial designer/Sound engineer myself and was wondering about this while installing LineageOS onto my lenovo phone. I think more people would like it if they understood what it's good for.

Problem is; most people don't even know what a bootloader is.. There must be a way to make this easy to do for people. An operating system like this would definitely help, right?

I'm looking forward to some well reasoned input!

Greetings, Quince
[General Topics] toolhas4degrees:
Every kernel hooks differently on every device, every device has different framework... So no that's why they have source code ex lineage that you take your framework and kernel etc and compile it. Even if you made an installer that could compile it on your phone if you trew in the kernel and framework in would take hours and lock up the phone. So this would most likely not be doable until every phone used the same partitions framework kernel etc. Short answer not gonna happen... Gsi is closest thing to it and you still need a gsi for your device set
[General Topics] QuinceDroid:
I see, thanks for your reply! Would an AI driven process be able to do these tasks after sufficient trial and error?
[General Topics] Droidriven:
Such an OS may be "possible" but it isn't practical. To do so would mean that the OS would have to have the resources needed by every type of CPU and every type of architecture built in. This would mean that the OS would be too large for most devices, it would occupy a lot of space on internal storage, some devices wouldn't even be able to contain the OS, much less install additional apps in that OS. That is why each android firmware or ROM is individually built with only the resources that the specific device it is built for needs. Including resources into the OS that it doesn't need, would be redundant.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] picchishaitan:
I got hold of this perseus which has no mobile signal because previous owner deleted EFS partition by mistake. There is no IMEI, that's why it's not registering on the mobile network. Then again, its bootloader got locked by installing latest stock MIUI 11 global through MiFlashTool. So, I can't get to the point of repairing the IMEI with the stock recovery.

When I try to unlock bootloader it says to authorize the device from developer option, but that authorization requires SIM connectivity. Without sending SMS or without using mobile data it can't authorize the device and it won't let me unlock bootloader.

So here I am stuck with a flagship level phone without any signal. Everything else like wifi & bluetooth seems to be working fine.

Any suggestions from the great minds of xda?

Any method to write IMEI with the bootloader locked?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] picchishaitan:
I've been looking for two days on how to solve this. Seems like there's not a lot to do unless I can unlock the bootloader. Even the EDL mode is locked. I turned to Miracle Tool for Xiaomi but their website says servers are currently not working. Then there's Chimera Tool, but it's too expensive to buy for just one phone.

Then I found out there are two more ways of getting to EDL mode. One is, opening up the device and shorting JTAG pins to boot into EDL, which is commonly known as test point method. And the other is, using an EDL cable which I can easily make at home.

Now I'm going to make an EDL cable to see if I can get into EDL mode successfully. If I can, then I will be able to repair the IMEI with other softwares. Although I don't have a QCN file for the MIX 3 yet, I'll concentrate on getting to EDL mode first.

:fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] picchishaitan:
EDL cable method don't work on these newer phones anymore. And these are also EDL-locked so test point method needs an authorized xiaomi account to access using EDL. If you google "Xiaomi needs a better way to unbrick its devices instead of Authorized Mi Accounts" then you'll find an excellent article that points out the issue in this new security system. Because of this my phone is now network-dead and can never be fixed from Bangladesh.

If anyone finds any solution to this problem in future please do let me know here. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] sjevtic:
I've had an unlocked Snapdragon Note 10+ sitting around for quite a while doing nothing (it was powered on much of the time) and finally decided it was time to give it the gift of TWRP and Magisk. After enabling developer mode, the OEM unlock toggle was present, and seemeingly was reflected on the download screen:

OEM LOCK : OFF (L)

The bootloader welcome screen was shown in Asian characters, so I initially didn't realize what was going on, but in each case, my attempts to flash TWRP failed with the booatloader indicating it was blocked by the OEM lock. I ultimately did a few factory resets to see if they would have any effect. In some cases after factory reset, the OEM Unlock setting in developer options was present and in other cases it was not. However, in each case where it was missing, I was ultimately able to get it to appear by manipulating a combination of date/time and software update settings as described in numerous posts and articles.

What I didn't realize was that the Asian language welcome screen was simply asking me to press volume up to enable custom image flashing. After realizing this, my impression here is that the OFF/ON refers to the bootloader's interpretation of the OEM Unlock status, and the (L/U) refers to whether the user pressed volume up at the welcome screen (unlock to enable flashing custom images) or something else (leaving the bootloader locked).

However, now regardless of the OEM Unlock setting, I always see the following on the download screen, depending on whether I press volume down on the welcome screen:

OEM LOCK : ON (L)

or volume up:

OEM LOCK : ON (U)

I also see:

RMM STATUS : CHECKING

So, what's going on here? Did I just earn myself a 7-day RMM lockout, or is something else going on? I thought that 7-day lockouts were indicated by an RMM status of "PRENORMAL". How can I can get the bootloader to unlock properly?

The software build currently on the device is N9750ZSS2ASKB.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] sjevtic:
After a week (168 hours) of uptime, booting into download mode no longer results in an RMM status message. Although the OEM Unlock toggle in developer options is set to ON, the bootloader still does not reflect this, instead still indicating that the OEM lock is activated. How can I resolve this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] sjevtic:
For all that wondered what was going on: the problem here was the lack of a long press of the volume up button on the bootloader unlock confirmation screen to complete the second stage of bootloader unlocking. Though this is clearly explained on the screen, this particular device features bootloader screens in Asian language characters which I sadly didn't understand.

Hey guys

Since I bought the device the battery usage was accurate and was working fine, until suddenly like a week ago the app seems to have updated because it looks different now when you go into battery settings and also usage status is weird and messed up. I think that it's getting reset every 24 hours instead of every time I charge because when I check SOT it's always very low compared to my usage

anyone facing the same issue? anyway I can change it back to how it was before?
