[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] garvind25:
Hi All,

I am new to the forum and flashing Android devices. I hope someone can help me with my problem.

I have a Lenovo K8 Note device (model No: XT 1902-3). It was on Oreo. Since it was heating up, I tried to flash it with Nougat ROM file. I was unaware that Lenovo does not allow downgrading the OS version. Now my phone is bricked.

I tried to solve the problem by re-flashing it while pressing the Volume Up button

. But the mobile is neither responding nor getting flashed. Pls. tell me what I can do to unbrick my mobile.

I will be grateful for a step by step guide towards solving my problem. Any comments will be thankfully acknowledged.

Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks and Regards,

Arvind Gupta

Hello!

Can anybody tell me if I can select other languages than the ROM laguage for word completition in any kind of input method/T9?

e.g. Can I select an english dictionary when I am using a Diamond with a German ROM?

If not, can I add this somehow?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

It should be able to check it easily...

Hello

I Bricked My RN9 by triggering an older Miui Version

I saw on the internet and most people said that I should go to a Mi Service Center

they took it there for almost 3 weeks and then, They told me the phone is out of warranty!!

How should i fix it :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Thanks.

Edit: It's actually not a hard brick

The phone bootloops and the pc gets recognized to it but, I can't boot into recovery mode or fastboot mode so I can't flash anything.

Anyone knows the solution ?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Reoul:
Actually , the Official store should be able to fix it. :confused:
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Evan_Ferrao:
Enter fastboot and flash

If it's a softbrick, you're seriously lucky

Enter fastboot mode by holding down volume down and power button

In some cases once the phone is bootlooped, you only need to hold volume down

Once entered fastboot, flash miui latest version via Mi Flash tools
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
Actually all firmwares keep in same rollback version.

So you can have V12.0.6.0 installed and then flash older version, as V11.0.2.0. Or opposed.

If you are using V12.0.4.0 or lower, you can flash without EDL and authentication.

If you are using V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need EDL and authentication for flashing.

If you want to use sp flash tool, you need to flash the stock rom

preloader

using V12.0.4.0 (or lower). (It will works perfectly with lower

preloader

binary version).

With an older preloader version, your phone will can receive DA files and accept flashing with NO auth.

Everything you need to do is plug your phone in usb (

without press any key, if you press any key it will enter in EDL mode

and requests authenticaion).

Here, are

If you're interested in the call recording, you can do it by flashing the Chinese firmware on the N9860. But you will lose other functions like Samsung Pass:

Just FYI, I used Boldbeast since like 6 years and although it worked initially, it was hit and miss. My phone is rooted, ( N9860 ) so I downloaded the ACR from Magisk, it works perfect - with Bluetooth as well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] fjorger:
Just wondering, if your phone is rooted then you don't need ACR, you could just change/edit props file and use Samsung native call recorder.

Btw there is a Samsung Magisk package to do that directly...

Yup, I purchased it too but then I installed the Sac23 rom and he has included native recording to

But how do u do what u said with native stock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] fjorger:
Hi inningsdefeat500,

I meant to say, if you root a stock rom, then you can access all System files (build.prop) that you usually cannot edit (unless rooted), and add:

persist.call_recording.enabled=true*

persist.call_recording.src=4

That's it.

And the custom rom that you installed has it “added“ already, or any other means.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
From my experience, once you put a carrier SIM in a phone, even after rooting it, the CSC files override the build.prop and thus you won't get the call recording enabled unless you also add those entries in appropriate CSC files.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] fjorger:
It makes all sense.

That's why I have ”call recording” feature on my old Exynos Note 9 (European version) by using a Thai sim (reset) trick...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] fjorger:
I already ordered some China SIM cards (ebay) to try again (this time with the proper CSC “CHC“ SIM card) the swap trick on the SM-N9860.

China Unicom

China Mobile

Unfortunately I was unable to source out a ”China Telecom” SIM card, so these two will do for now.

Just a few weeks of waiting time...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] scoyok:
*EDIT*

After accepting a stock ui update (2.569 gigs) the option to activate call recording in accessibility is now gone. Automatic call recorder pro is no longer functional. Hope this helps, same update that swaps samsung daily for samsung free- both are a waste.

I don't know if this helps, I just got the note 5 ultra and automatic call recorder pro works (no BT) after turning on call recording in accessibility settings. I am going to fiddle with settings later to try and get BT recording going, if I figure it out I will update.

i can't remember last phone which didn't have native call recording (Samsung flagships included). I avoid apps which don't work, they suck, they hog memory, and they cost money. I prefer Magisk style, the finest style. I love browsing call audio directly in the official phone app:) For Samsung, I enable call recording in Xposed module "firefeds". I trust the devs recommendation above, but still would like someone confirm it works for Android 11 also.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] andriy_:
To record the phone from the line directly you need of these:

China FW - CSC = CHC

Rooted phone with patched cscfeature.xml file

CHC version has no Google services, so it is a choice between the Call Recording and Android Auto.

So i tried on Note20U, integrated native call recording became visible and enabled, but it doesn't record nor show its icon during the calls.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] IT_Architect:
I have a Note 9 using Android 8.1 and use the International software hacked to not update. It works great with ACR and ACR Pro but I need to side-load everything to keep the play store malware from destroying the phone. I was looking to see if the Note 20 was any better. My goal is to have financial apps and call recording working. Currently I don't have financial apps turned on simply because I need to password my phone and it might want to update my phone and destroy the call recording which would be the same as bricking it for me.

Question: Assuming I install the Chinese firmware, can I use the phone on Verizon like I can with the International software or will Verizon replace it without my consent during the night like it does with other carrier firmware?

Question: Does anyone know of the Internatioal firware plus ACR allow call recording with the same hacks as the Note 9? (Although I's still have the same issues as I have today with the Note 9)

Question: I could root my Note 3 without breaking KNOX. Those days are gone. If I root a Note 20, I will no longer get OTA upgrades, I understand that. Can I still manually flash upgrades? Not getting OTA upgrades would actually be a blessing.

Question: What financial app options do I have with a rooted Note 20?

Question: I assume that if I get a Google phone I can root and unroot at will with no long-term mess like KNOX?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] doggydog2:
I still have the mentioned Note 3 and Note 20, and had Note 9 too, and had plenty of other Samsungs or other devices. What they have in common is this: they're all rooted, and call recording strictly enabled.

Some notes are confusing: financial apps could update your phone? How. Chinese firmware? What is even that.

You just keep rooting any phone you get, enable native call recording and then happily replay calls via native calling app. At the end of the year, you typically wait out for then new major Android version to check call recording is working amongst the plugins. For me, it's working relentlessly for all post knox years. As for knox, i can't care less it's triggered, it's not even visible after the phone is restored back and can be resold (and even warrantied in EU). Financial apps work for me, if not, -> i'd hide the root, if this doesn't work, -> i'd not use the apps or change the financial institution. After rooting, no more OTA annoyances, and no updates are forced. Google and OnePlus will be the same, but you'll get unforced OTA updates as they're root friendly. I don't use ACR, native app is way more comfy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] IT_Architect:
There are multiples in that sentence

- Chinese require their phones to be rootable, which includes the Qualcomms. I don't know if they force updates or not, but probably.

- With the Note 3, I could root it without breaking KNOX. I was forced off it when CDMA went away. With the Note 9 U, U1 there was no root in sight for a long time and with no certainty that it would ever be possible. With the Note 9 and the original 8.1 Android I had my call recording. With the newly released Android 9 I lost half of the conversation so I flashed back to the latest 8.1. However, if you explicitly told U in the settings not to update, it will not respect that and force updates to Verizon firmware in the middle of the night. That's when I learned that with U1 I could disable updates with ADB because U1 exposes parameters that U versions does not. That was good new for me and for my clients who were attorneys and accountants and my own company where we bill for time an the conversations become our working documents. My Note 9 is not rooted and I have perfect call recording with ACR Pro.

Because travel and living abroad is about to become a dominant part of my existence, its impact on credit card apps and financial transactions become a lot bigger duck in my pond. What I lose and what I still have are the things I need to know to make a good decision on my next phone. The hoops I need to jump through to hide from the play store and wireless providers' malware also becomes a much more of an issue to deal with going forward. I could root the Note 9 but then at some point I will have to deal with app compatibility issues and probably at a time when I won't have time.

Hardware other:

- Every other country is much less restrictive on the hardware they allow on their networks than the US. You can usually trick the system but I don't want to deal with it so it will be the U series. They even balk at the U1.

- Even if the Note 20, S22, and S23 are equal from a capability perspective, I also know that not every new version is better for my purposes. I went with the Note 9 because the Note 8 burned through the battery while my Note 9 will go almost 3 very long days of normal use. There will times when I'm not near electricity. The Note 10 had Android 9 which meant no call recording and not root. I need to learn things such as if the Note 20 Ultra or S23 Ultra are superior to the S22 ultra etc. since battery size does not necessarily translate into battery life. My hope to connect with people on this forum that have up-to-date knowledge of the current winners and losers for my use case since it has been ~2018-2019 since I've immersed myself in this area.

As mentioned, the last time I had to root was my Note 3. I liked the complete control of root and used it. However, what I miss most about root is the confidence of having a proper backup. Without it, there is no way to restore it back the way you had it after investing many tweaks adding up to many hours getting it where it became perfect for your uses.

This spells out what I'm after.

This. 99% restore of apps to exact previous state. Restore of apps that are difficult to set up like Whatsap, Telegram, that require fake phone numbers I don't even have access to anymore. No problem. Few minutes and the new phone is like the old phone. Absolutely incredible. Then the bonus of 99% advertisement free experience. Native call recording on every brand. Better battery life. Better security (yes).

- Root the original firmware

- Install AdGuard and its root certificate in order to use HTTPS filtering with VPN

- Install AppOps to enforce permissions on me and especially other users who are careless

- Restore app and their data (typically only Signal doesn't work which is fine)

- Deratize bloatware, remove trackers by Warden or AppManager
