[Realme X50 Pro Questions & Answers] ricsaraiva:
The steps I had to take to root my Realme X50 Pro.

I was on Android 11, I couldn't root, I had to rollback with the following .ozip file - https://izq1i8.s.cld.pt

I recorded it to the smartphone memory and installed it from recovery mode.

After performing rollback to Android 10 I went to Realme EU website to download the latest version of the .ozip file and installed it by recovery mode - https://download.c.realme.com/osupdate/RMX2076EU_11_OTA_0420_all_CzQ779yq9fLp.ozip

To root on Android 10 I followed the steps in the following forum:

Convert .oZip do Zip - https://xdaforums.com/t/convert-ozi...rom-firmware-from-twrp-orangefox-etc.4065277/

Root: https://xdaforums.com/t/realme-x50-pro-root.4150695/

After rooting Realme with Magisk I went looking for new updates and downloaded the c.18 version but without installing.

Location OTA file - https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-extract-ota-links-update-file-from-realme-oppo-devices.4036773/

I looked for the .Ozip file in the phone memory using the X-plore application and proceeded to the process of converting the .Ozip to Zip to extract the boot and vmbeta file

I installed Android 11.c18 that I had downloaded on my phone and rooted it using the following magisk - https://izlkbl.s.cld.pt

I installed the .apk file and followed the same steps used to root Android 10.
[Realme X50 Pro Questions & Answers] GoJo ^^:
Hello, i have the RMX2075 version (not sure what's different with RMX2076 by the way..?) updated it to last version, which is "RMX2075_11_C.25". I wanted to root, for that i needed the boot.img file, i found on andrealmefirmware.com the fimrware "RMX2075GDPR_11_C.25" - GDPR means EU too, so i thought it's the right one. I extracted vbmeta and boot files with OFP extractor and patched the boot with magisk, then went in fasboot mode and entered the commands to root which can be found here.

Problem : phone won't boot, i get the warning "boot/recovery has been destroyed, phone cannot boot". I have had the ozip of an older firmware in the phone storage, but it refused to flash, because older! Not sure it was a mistake but i did format data. Anyway, RealmeFlashTool won't flash that "RMX2075GDPR_11_C.25" firmware, it says "cannot find directory". I'm stuck.. Anybody has the boot.img of that specific "RMX2075_11_C.25"? Or any instructions on how to recover.. Hope to get replies, thanks!
[Realme X50 Pro Questions & Answers] GoJo ^^:
Ok, good news : when i flash the original boot.img of that "RMX2075GDPR_11_C.25" firmware, i don't get the error and i can boot. I still don't understand why it won't boot after i enter those :

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Which i patched with magisk (tried various versions). It doesn't make much sense to me..? Also would like to know which firmware file i need to downgrade to RUI 1.0 (and where to find it).
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] MarcoReckless:
I don't get why my 5T's boot takes this long, the phone is far from full and has no bloatware, I tried cleaning the cache but it didn't help.

Basically boot logo (the 5T logo) stays there for about 40s-50s, then the boot animation is much shorter.

Do you have any idea on what I could do?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mr_N3nN0:
Hi, Hope this post finds all of you in good health.

My poco f1 stopped reading/detecting my SIM card, it all started when my phone was charging (My battery is kind of decent, and it can't fast charge because of water damage (slipped into the pool accidentally)). So I was using and charging my phone and I noticed that the battery percentage gone to 0% and stupid me I kept using it and all of the sudden it shuts down by its own. When I powered it on after 20 minutes, the sim was gone! I had a custom ROM and I kept flashing other ROMS but nothing worked. So I had to flash the stock miui ROM, but that didn't work either so I gave up. After three days I decide to try my luck and insert the sim, and it worked!! But once I reboot the device the sim was gone no matter what I do. I left the device another 5 days I tried my luck again and it worked again. The thing is I don't even know what I did to make it worked! :(

Could it be a hardware issue or a software issue?

And if I changed the kernel would that help or it doesn't do anything?

**IMEI number still exsists but the IMSI is unknown.

**Wifi is working fine but no sim card detected.

Thanks for your time reading my post :o
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] clsA:
I would guess it's a hardware failure.

But I have had a SIM card go bad as well.

Test with a new SIM.

[Huawei P30 Questions & Answers] tinpanalley:
I've been reading about this today because I have a chance to get a new phone for a great price on my carrier in Canada and the P30 is one such phone. Everything about the P30 interests me, but what do we think about this ban being modified and Google backpedalling on supporting older Huawei phones released before the ban? Basically do we think the P30 is going to end up abandoned or forced to update a non-Android OS onto it? Are any of you with the P30 concerned about this right now? Curious how people currently with the phone feel.
[Sony Xperia L1 Questions & Answers] jharvey208:
Hi all,

I need of some assistance, I've got 2 Xperia L1's in front of me that will not boot.

Plug in to PC, and the device is picked up as a USB Serial Port.

I can still get into flash mode, but even here I'm having issues.

I am unable to flash any stock ROM. The process simply stops and gives up with no errors at "Opening TA Partition 2".

I've got a backup of the TA partition, but I can't flash using dd / adb, as the phone does not boot.

Any recommendations? I've tried updating PC drivers, using old versions of flash tool and different cables with no luck..

Hi all, I have a Xz1 dual G8342 brand new within a month motherboard wrecked by water, bought a battered but working Xz1 single sim with the view to rebuild into my caseing etc. I am convinced there must be a way to make it dual sim capable.

So far I have manged to flash it from G8341 to G8342 no problem but the dual sim menu won't work and it won't register sim 2.

Any input on what to do next? Cheers Chris.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
I am not responsible for lost data, identity theft, lost money, security vulnerabilities, bricked devices or any other hardware or software malfunctions that comes as a result of flashing this ROM.

I spent hundreds of hours building this rom. The least you can do is spend a few minutes reading posts 1, 2, and 3 before posting.

Try this build at your own risk. It's likely to have bugs and is EXPERIMENTAL as 17.1 is a work in progress. It boots and seems to work fine on my SM-T560NU, but I have only tested it for 24 hours. Problems will likley surface later?

BACKUP YOUR FILES and have a copy of your working image BEFORE trying my build.

I built a new image of SM-T560NU following the instructions at

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gtelwifiue/build

What works.

1. bluetooth

2. wifi

3. brightness

4. external audio

5. GPS

6. audio through headphone jack

7. Google play store (using gapps pico)

Known problems.

1. stock camera

Stock LineageOS camera app back camera does not display properly. It is split into 8 frames. Use opencamera apk from

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.sourceforge.opencamera/

I will not be spending anytime trying to fix the stock camera problem. I never use it and opencamera works.

2. The stock Jelly browser crashes a lot. Use a different browser. There's lots of better options that are more stable and reliable than the built in Jelly browser.

3. FM Radio is not support since this device doesn't have the LTE functionality.

4. text on home screen looks funny. This only seems to affect the home screen and nowhere else. Problem is with stock trebuchet launcher and/or its fonts. I have seen the same problem on the SM-T350, SM-T560NU, SM-P550 and Nexus 7 2013.

I tried rootless pixel launcher from fdroid as a quick and simple test and see no problems with home screen text. Rootless pixel uses a different font though. A future LineageOS update could resolve the problem?

FAQ - I spent hundreds of hours building this rom. The least you can do is spend a few minutes reading everything before posting.

Q1) What TWRP should I use?

A1) Use 3.2.3 found at

https://msm8916.com/?view=downloads&dist_name_short=TWRP&codename=gtelwifiue

Or use 3.5.2_9 that I built.

retiredtab - Browse /SM-T560NU/TWRP at SourceForge.net

sourceforge.net

Q2) Does the build work on xyz?

A2) I have no idea. I only have the SM-T560NU. It will not work on the SM-T561 and SM-T560 as it uses a different SoC (CPU).

Q3) Application xyz doesnt' work. Can you fix it?

A3) I only fix what I use. If you use app xyz and it doesn't work, then try 16.0 or going back to the last rom that worked for you.

Q4) My tablet hangs or crashes with 17.1. This build is slow and buggy. Can you fix it?

A4) Go back to the last working stable rom for you. 17.1 is a work in progress and will have bugs and frequent changes.

Q5) Do you plan to update the rom?

A5) Yes as long as I have high speed Internet, I wil try to release the rom monthly to incorporate the security patches.

Q6) Can you build this for the SM-T560?

A6) No, I don't have the SM-T560.

Q7) Can I turn off the on screen navigation keys?

A7) To turn off on screen navigation, go to settings, system, advanced, gestures, system navigation, gesture navigation.

Q8) Can I build this rom? Where are the source and kernel source files?

A8) Yes. The kernel source files are at

Samsung MSM8916 Devices

Samsung MSM8916 Devices has 68 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

github.com

I have attached the repo diff and roomservice.xml file that I have used. The repo diff are all the changes I have made to the "stock" msm8916 code.

Q9) Where can I download this rom?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sillycat98:
Thanks for building this, downloading it now. Do you use opengapps or mindthegapps?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
I tested opengapps pico and micro-g on the 16.0 build, but not on the 171. build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sillycat98:
Isn't everything on this tablet slow and buggy? Even the stock rom was horrible for me. Think I might try mindthegapps when I get home. Any problems I'll swap over to opengapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
This tablet isn't my daily driver so I have no reference if it's slow. I just got it and it happens to share some of the same code base as the SM-T350.

If this tablet is slow, it could be due to google services (gapps). You can always try microg. It's a way of running some Google services, but with a lighter set of software and some privacy.

https://microg.org/

I ran microg on this tablet with 16.0 and it seemed to work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sillycat98:
Runs great, the only problem I'm having is with one magisk module to spoof the props. It bootloops if I use it to change the fingerprint and I can't figure out why. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
I have only seen the need to change fingerprint to pass google's CTS. Is this what you are trying to do?

Does it bootloop with 16.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
For boot loops, undo your changes.

Then unlock developer options, enable adb debugging and adb root. Then reboot tablet, re-enable your changes, reboot again and get a logcat while it's booting. It should show error messages in the logcat.

That's how I was able to figure out the vibrator hal causing a bootloop on the 560NU.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sillycat98:
It is what I was trying and it didn't with 16 but I can live without it, I'll just have to download what I want to my phone and extract the apks then transfer when over.

I'll try to get a logcat later.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
For 17.1, it's possible that a lineageos change in the future will fix the boot loop since 17.1 is still a work in progress.

Or what we did for the sm-t350, is we used a stock fingerprint and over rode the fingerprint to pass CTS. If I can get a stock SM-T560NU fingerprint, I can look at putting it into the 17.1 code. It's a single line of code in one of the mk files. It looks like this for the 350.

BUILD_FINGERPRINT=samsung/gt58wifixx/gt58wifi:7.1.1/NMF26X/T350XXU1CQJ1:user/release-keys

That spoofs play store into thinking its "certified" Samsung device.

BTW, if it works on 16.0, I plan to do monthly security patch builds for 16.0 as well, so you can stay on 16.0 if that makes life easier for you.

I'm likely to run 17.1 just to keep testing and again because 17.1 is a work in progress by the Lineageos team.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
As I mentioned, this is NOT my daily driver tablet and I just got it and I wanted to run only microg and not use any gapps. As such, I didn't test gapps. Now that I loaded gapps and google plays store, I do see a problem. I will try to fix it over the next few days. I will update post #1 to reflect potential problems with google play store.

Google play store works in my 16.0 build. So if you need Google play store, use 16.0 for now.

For future builds, I will test goolge play store before releasing another build.

works. I can see more apps at the play store. I'll build this fix into the next September build after all the security patches are incorporated.

I don't know when msm8916 team will incorporate it or do something different.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
I uploaded an Aug 26 build with the play store fix as per above and changed the build fingerprint. If I just use Magisk and enable hide Magisk, it passes CTS and shows as a "device is certified" in play store.

You may have to delete the files and cache in google play services and google play store to get rescanned for CTS.

I removed the Aug 20 build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sillycat98:
Sorry for the delay, been busy the last few days. I appreciate you looking at it, this is the best this tablet has worked since I bought the thing. The main reason I wanted to go to 17.1 is Android 10 supports Bluetooth dual shock for remote play and 16 didn't. So I really appreciate everything you are doing. I wish I could afford to give you a little something, you deserve it, but unfortunately I can't at the moment. Let me know if you need anything from me though.

Edit: I hate to keep bothering you but is there any way to turn on the on-screen nav bar? I hate those buttons at the bottom and disabled them but I'm having some difficulty with XDA's navigation gestures, I'm used to my Pixel and I can't quite get it setup correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] retiredtab:
I'll add

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

to the September security patch build.

For now, if you have Magisk installed, the easiest way to get on screen nav bar is goto Magisk Manager, menu, downloads, search for props, dowload and install and reboot.

Once rebooted, go settings, about tablet, tap build number 7 times to enable developer settings. Then system, advanced, developer options, enable local terminal.

Then go home, choose terminal app and type "props".

Choose 5 (add custom props), n (new), qemu.hw.mainkeys, enter, 0, enter.

Screen should say this will set qemu.hw.mainkeys to: 0

Press y to accept and reboot.

Your screen nav bar should appear after reboot.

Then goto settings, system, advanced, gestures, system navigation.

navigation bar settings are at buttons menu to let you swap (invert) the back and recent menu buttons to match hardware buttons.

Yes, I tested the above and there are no boot loops while adding this prop or use the prop editor that is downloaded from Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sillycat98:
Thanks again, this worked a treat. I had used props to change the fingerprint before but had never messed with the custom option. I finally have a reason to use this tablet again thanks to you.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CheshireKat_:
The OTA Pie update keeps breaking my phone (stuck on Verizon loading screen). The first time, I believe I downloaded VS99620k_02_0510_ARB00.kdz and used LGUP Dual Mode to replace the OS since nothing else worked, not even resets. (I also tried stock Pie and had the same issue as the OTA upgrade.) I kept skipping the update every day until last month, I guess it was accepted accidentally because next thing I knew, I was stuck on the Verizon loading screen again. Haven't wanted to deal with it and have been using my tablet for calls and texts. But I do need a working phone.

This time, I decided to go ahead and follow https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193. I used the Frankenstein instructions to go from VS996 to US998 20a and am now running Oreo and unlocked bootloader, etc. What is the next step? I believe I need to go back to VS because I have Verizon. The current Oreo doesn't function properly (can't make calls, glitches, random reboots). Which Oreo ROM should I download? Or can I use the KDZ I already have? I've found many ROMs and info but I don't want to just guess.

edit: the zip link here doesn't work https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/rom-fw-lg-v30-joan-verizon-vs996-21f-t3865671. john-fawkes.com doesn't load. I guess I'll just do the previous version on AFH?

Also, what can I do to prevent this happening in the future? Verizon update reminded me every day about updating with an annoying popup and I always said to remind me the next day, but I don't want it to get accepted accidentally again. I wish it had an option to say no! Maybe there's something now that I'm rooted?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Your next step is Section 9 of the WTF Instructions. You got through Section 6 but didn't finish. ;) Section 9 is about updating firmware.

You would choose the Verizon Pie TWRP flashable zip (i.e. stock ROM which can be installed with TWRP). You would re-flash Magisk and can even update to newer version of Magisk. Once on that, you won't get any update reminders.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CheshireKat_:
I tried that. As I said in my post, the problem is that the linked zip doesn't work, so I didn't know what to do. I ended up going with a previous version (J instead of K) and got calling, etc. back but still had problems with it randomly restarting. I plugged it into the wall charger to charge and woke up to it not turning on at all, even connected to the computer. It's totally dead. Now what? The cord works with my tablet so it's not the cord.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Hmmmm..

The link is wrong. For some reason goes to Oreo 20k. Sorry. Should go to Pie. I'll have to fix it tonight when I get home from work.

Go to Verizon Pie TWRP flashable zip and install that. I know you find it. It's in the Developers section, both in my KDZ thread and standalone John Fawkes thread. Google if you have to.

I have separate threads for VS996 Oreo and Pie KDZ, and they also include TWRP flashable zips.
