so i've been using havoc gsi 10 for almost half year but with 9 CN vendor, i wonder if anyone has tried to upgrade from 9 CN rom to 10 CN rom without wiping data and check whether the internal storage can be decrypted.

since based on my past experience there's several times when something messed up with the encryption and i can't even decrypt it with my password, or even when i disabled the lock screen completely yet twrp still ask for the password.

my plan is to flash 10 CN rom on twrp and then reflash the gsi rom without wiping data with hope that my data is still intact and the vendor is upgraded to android 10's.

Can anyone share some experience or your thought about this?

thanks.

ps

it's not like i don't wanna backup my data, it just i don't have enough space on my laptop to do it.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightwish1976:
Backup is not reliable in my experience... I backed up everything in recovery and, at the end, I received the message that some files could not be backed up. When I needed to restore, I got errors.

This was with RR Android Q.

If you don't mind, can you link the Rom you are using? I tried the last Havoc ROM yesterday and it didn't boot.

PS: I didn't try to upgrade from Ch 9 to Ch10 without wiping data.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lilo_ind:
Ota update its fine with twrp but One Rom only for one twrp(only compatible rom), if not compatible between rom and twrp your phone will brick also lost the data. The only way u must test it, but back up your data first.

*Recovery its difference in CN Rom
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] h4cxxc0r3:
i don't know what's going on with your case, but from my experience the data backup and restore thing won't work if you have multiple user enabled either from settings or apps like island, parallel space, etc.

for the havoc rom, i always download it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/arm64-ab/ the vanilla version.

and the step i always use to flash gsi rom is

1. flash system image (gsi ab)

2. fix system partition partition

3. flash stock gapps

4. flash magisk

the main difference when changing rom is only wiping data, the rest is the same.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightwish1976:
[MENTION=4882772]h4cxxc0r3[/MENTION]: you are right, I was using Island and, if I remember correctly, the error was "cannot backup some files for user 10".

Thanks for the link and the instructions, I'll try it this weekend.

No one is talking about the volte missing feature and i think its quite important because i got exhausted while i am playing and the internet got disconnected because of calls so anyone know how to fix this will be great
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightwish1976:
I am on Havoc 3.8 at the moment, very nice, about the same functionality as RR. As opposed to RR, auto brightness works properly.

Regarding VOLTE snd Wifi calling, the options were missing from settings, I installed a recovery zip and now they show up. When VOLTE is enabled, it works, but with the downside that, when people call me, I get Unknown Caller instead of their name.

Pretty much the same as with the stock global ROM.

Wifi calling option is present, I enable it, but if I use Airplane mode and start wifi I cannot call or be called, so I suppose it's not working.

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amandogra1997:
We can flash cn 10 rom directly from the stock recovery but then you have to flash twrp wipe internal partition and after that you can flash gapps

Pico but do remember to flash magisk in order to make it boot.

Yeah the UI is the best among all the GSI which I have reviewed same brightness bug and volte not working.

I also encountered some heating during pubg.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] h4cxxc0r3:

Can you check whether the battery usage showing the apps?

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightwish1976:
I managed to get Volte working by installing this:

https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/VoLTE-Fix .

The only problem is that it happens exactly as with the stock ROM, I have no caller ID for incoming calls while using VOLTE.

The Wifi calling option shows up as well, but it's not working at all.

Try it if you want, you might be luckier than me, different GSM operator etc. There is also an uninstall zip, so it's quite safe...

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] h4cxxc0r3:
I don't think i can test volte and wifi calling since my network operator doesn't support it yet. I suggest to wait for someone with 3.30 base to confirm if the bluetooth bug present and volte working or not before upgrading.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] h4cxxc0r3:
Just a quick update for someone who encounter Bluetooth bug using 3.30 cn as base, somehow after i hot reboot my device the Bluetooth got fixed and been working ever since.

Also temporary workaround for the trigger button you can use

adb shell getevent

and try to touch the trigger button or use FRep app to get the input device path. Mine is at

/dev/input/event2

( I don't know if this the same for every rm3 device so please someone test it out :D ), after you found the corresponding path then you can delete it using file explorer or script. This will temporarily disable the trigger button, and since that file is recreated on each boot you can make a boot script for a semi-permanent solution.

[General Topics] cannabiscure:
Wow I wanted to download Antutu since it seems to be the standard for benchmarking Android phones, and it is no longer in the store. One reason I hadn't downloaded it sooner is it is such a big download (2 parts) and it's a longer benchmark to run, so I was running geekbench. Then I decided I wanted something more thorough and searched for Antutu and could not find it.

"As of today, you'll no longer be able to download AnTuTu 3DBench, AnTuTu Benchmark, or AITuTu from the Play Store. ... We received a notification email from Google on March 7th informing us that AnTuTu was one of the related publisher accounts of Cheetah Mobile, all AnTuTu apps were removed from the Play Store."

Yep, sketchy privacy policy for cheetah mobile apps led to that situation.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] woog315:
I've got a couple of strange problems with my mogul - anytime I need to reset it, it goes into bootloader (both soft and hard resets). However, If I connect it via USB to my pc, the reset will work.

The second problem is a USB connection to the PC only charges the mogul, the pc doesnt actually recognize it (it doesnt give the windows device connection sound)- so i cant flash it to try and solve the first problem. It also isn't recognized when I plug it into USB while in bootloader mode, I just get the "Unrecognized USB device" error in XP and Vista on two different computers. It might be worth noting that I get the USB device connection sound when i reboot the phone, then the "unrecognized usb device" error, then the disconnect sound as the boot finishes and windows mobile loads. I've tested the cable with other devices and tried multipile cables, so I dont think thats the problem

Any suggestions?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] woog315:
Ok, I got the USB working but nothing will keep it from going into bootloader on reset if it isnt connected to my pc. I've reflashed and hard reset to no avail. no one has any suggestions?

Would someone mind explaining what the difference(s) is between Build 43 and Build 53 of the A5010 Firmware?

I've looked and there is no clear answer. Is there a way to move back from 53 to 43? None of the MSM Dumplings or Official Rollback builds will move any of my devices back to 43 from 53.

At this point I am curious as to what is the difference in builds and why certain phones exhibit these differences. I would wager that this might be a factory unbrick build?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
wrong place delete
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Well I am honestly shocked by this. I sort of expected the S20 Ultra not to meet my standards but not the Note 20 Ultra! Decided to stick with my Note 10+ for a bit until maybe Z Fold 2 or Note 20 Ultra drops in price or for another who knows how long.

Anyways thought I would share with you guys why I decided to stick with Note 10+ over the Note 20 Ultra.

First off the Note 20 Ultra is nowhere near a bad phone, much of an improvement over the S20 Ultra which I thought was junk. The main highlights of the device just didn't seem worth $1300+ to me.

Screen overall is literally just a hair bigger and actually a hair less vibrant and saturated then the Note 10.

Screen refresh rate still not sure why this is such a huge deal. Can you tell a difference? Yes slightly depending on what you are doing. Sort of like 4k on a tablet or small laptop really just not worth it imo

Cameras, oh yes the cameras. Glad to see the autofocus issue was fixed from the S20 Ultra and photos are great no matter what camera but the main sensor unless you are using the 108 mp for extreme detail and then you lose HDR look very similar to the Note 10. Only huge difference is the zoom lens on the Ultra and it is a big one. 5x zoom looks great and even 10x in most cases looks very good and usable. This is the only thing that made me actually want to keep the 20

Everything else is pretty much the same again as Note 10+ nothing else worth mentioning really

Few photos of the differences in whites and camera bumps and the pretty much same screens
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] denism81:
Note 10+ physically looks a lot better to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Yeah I was reading reviews and wasn't pleased with what Samsung did.

The variable refresh rate is cool especially if it save battery, kudas there.

The cam has laser assist AF lock too I believe, well done.

5 G, good.

The fastest Snapdragon yet yields a real performance boost although the 10+ never seems slow.

The bad, price tag is through the roof for the 512gb model.

This Note is even harder to protect than the 10 due the cam hump. That also means it really needs a case. Reports of no factory screen protector, not good especially since you'll want to lay it face down because of the cam hump.

Doesn't hardware support AptX HD bluetooth, very disappointing.

Not enough gain to replace the Note 10+ however a good upgrade maybe for a Note 8 or older.

However the Note 10+ is still a viable option especially if you want Pie.

In 2 months my Note 10+ will be a year old and it's still looking great, running strong in fact better then it ever has. Truth be told I'm still learning to use many of its features... not bored or tired of it by a long shot.

Samsung gave nothing much new for HD audio in the 20; AptX HD should have been present... a 3.5 mm jack been nice too.

Samsung needs a top shelf flagship model to get many people to upgrade from the 10+; this isn't it.

Add to that the world economy is a mess.

Samsung should have tried harder and catered more to the performance crowd to set this new Note further apart from the 10+.

Part of the reason for the fail is Samsung doesn't listen to its customers very well. Oh well... I'll wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] freco:
On my Note 10+ I want:

A) Better battery.

B) Better fingerprint sensor. I see new pixels keep them to the back side. Well done Google.

C) Get rid of the silly front camera hole.

As long as these don't change, there is no reason to upgrade for me. Software updates, unnecessary camera and screen changes does not attract me. Especially with that price tag.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ultramag69:
Speaking for those of us who get the Exynos chipset... Samsung sucks balls...

Thery are selling INFERIOR hardware for the same price, this relegates the 120Hz refresh rate to HD+ only and NOT to UHD, not because the phone can't handle it but because the Exynos chipset can't. They can't give part of the world this and leave everyone else out in the rain as that would highlight the inadequacies of the Exynos.

Exynos throttles, is a bigger drain on battery, it alters the picture quality of photo's taken and Samsung have the balls to charge us the same as the Snapdragon 865+ chipset...

For this the can shove the Note 20 Ultra, big camera bump and all, where the sun don't shine...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:
The price is just pure GREED! Useless money spent on creap publicity!

Any "high end" phone with Exynos cpu is ****.

However 120hz screen is fine. For me. Don't care much for qhd+/8k bull****. On a phone screen ?!?

I like Note 10+ 5g for the square screen (very rare these days) and the design. Only minus for me is that the display could be at least 90hz.

A good thing on 10+ and 20 ultra is sd card slot.

I will never buy 20 ultra even if the price will be 500 euros with exynos cpu!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Maybe enough returns will get Samsung's attention to listen to what their customers what... and don't want.

The large storage is great but not without easy 24 bit audio output. The 3.5 mm jack, there's room for it and spend the extra few cents for the bt chipset that supports AptX-HD.

Sad because this fix was easy and cheap to do.

This very expensive phone should have the best and latest chipsets in it, it doesn't. A locked bootloader doesn't give me any thrills either, Samsung Pay and Knox grrrr.

Fail, again.

As for the cams, at this price point buying a dedicated Canon for shooting makes more sense; much better interchangable optics and dedicated AF/image processors.

I use my 10+ more like a laptop than a cam...

That cam hump sucks and I see it as a major liability from a damage stand point. The Note 10+ is hard enough to protect, the 20 U is far worse.

Then there's wittle Bixby... other than it's cam smart functions it's completely worthless to me and a huge privacy invasive.

Wearables have the same privacy issues and need all the permissions under the sun to even load, really?

Samsung is very hard of hearing.

Kudos for jamming their Note 20 U were it belongs...
