[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] L1mon:
My phone was better before unlocking bootloader. But after unlocking the bootloader I'm facing updating problem. Please see the screenshot below.

Please help me to solve this
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] zgfg:
No screenshot is visible. Unlocked Bootloader does not prevent OTA, but if you installed a custom Recovery (e.g., TWRP or OrangeFox) OTA will fail (when phone reboots, it looks for stock Recovery to process OTA package)

And/or, if you installed Magisk (or custom Kernel), you need to force Full OTA package (2,4 GB or so) from System Update, Settings - because default incremental OTA lacks full Boot image and cannot update Boot from your custom Boot (Magisk or custom Kernel affect Boot)

Hence if you want to update by OTA, revert Boot and Recovery to stock before you go
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] L1mon:
I've installed magisk but i uninstalled that also I flash stock rom from orange fox.

But same thing happening.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] zgfg:
I answered you in the previous post that for OTA you must not have OrangeFox - you must reflash stock Recovery before you go for OTA
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] polibacsi:
Can anyone help me with the instructions for a manual root for this tablet? I tried all the apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lecrocq:
Dear Community,

I'm trying to root my Ulefone Armor X7 Pro using Magisk and so far I've experienced several issues, starting with unlocking the bootloader.

I hope you can help me somehow.

Here's what I've done and seen so far:

- OEM Unlock enabled and USB Debugging enabled

- Using ADB from latest Google SDK to reboot in FASTBOOT mode

- Now 'fastboot oem unlock' returns FAILED (remote: 'unknown command'). I've tried to wipe cache partition, it doesn't help, I've tried a few workarounds found on this forum with no luck so far...

- I've read that sometimes this command doesn't work so I used 'fastboot flashing unlock' instead --> that one worked

With this done, and stock boot.img, the phone will display an Orange State warning saying that the device can't be trusted. However it will boot anyway (with the stock boot.img).

Also, the OEM Unlock option will be greyed out in developer options after performing this command.

- However, after flashing the boot image that Magisk Manager generated (from the stock boot.img from Ulefone website), the phone goes into a boot loop with a Red State saying that the boot signature is wrong and verified boot should be disabled. (However I don't know how to do this.)

So I flashed back the stock boot.img and could reboot my phone again (at least it is not bricked -- but that was scary).

Now, here are my questions and thoughts:

- Is it normal that 'fastboot oem unlock' won't work? Is it fine to use 'fastboot flashing unlock' instead?

- The boot image generated by Magisk is only 10 MB while the stock one is 32 MB. I've read the thread of issue #2005 Pad Images to Original Size With Zeros on Github and I thought maybe that's why the phone won't boot with the Magisk image. But I don't know exactly what I should do about it. (I'm on Windows.)

- Finally, if the solution is to disable verified boot, how should it be done? Is there anything to do with the 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' option in Magisk Manager?

I hope you'll be able to help me and I wish you all the best anyway.

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunalsmojo:
same deal

- It's never been an issue for me if 'fastboot oem unlock' doesn't work. In fact, in my experience (which isn't really that much), it never works. I've always had to use 'fastboot flashing unlock'

- I tried padding the image with zeroes using

dd if=/dev/zero of=magisk_patched.img bs=1 count=1 seek=33554431

(on a linux box), but it produces the same bootloop. I've tried this same thing with recovery, no such luck.

- I tried flashing via SP Flash Tools, as well. Both the padded and non-padded magisk_patched.img; neither worked. I updated checksum.ini so that flash tools would accept the scatter file. I've tried formatting the section, as well as the 'write memory' tab. SPFT flashes it just fine, but the bootloop continues.

- I even tried patching and flashing boot-debug.img (because why the hell not?) and again, the loop goes on and on.

- I opened up the preloader....bin file in hex editor and removed all instances of 'verify' and flashed via SPFT. Do not do this. The phone will no longer turn on or anything. Luckily, SPFT flashes before anything else in the phone does anything, so it was recovable.

- I tried sideloading my rom as an 'update' but oddly enough adb won't recognize the phone in sideload.

I haven't tried reflashing the whole phone with magisk_patched.img as my boot. I may attempt this. I'll get back to you if I have any luck.

I plan on using mine as a media device (music, video, camera, etc) that I can bring with me on excursions, because I'm terrified to bring my pixel 4xl.. As such, I don't have a SIM card in mine. I have no idea if this would make any difference, but I'm not receiving the 'red state' status saying that verified boot is the issue. I have tried it with unchecking dm-verify, but maybe this hasn't worked. I'm thinking that it may have something to do with vbmeta*.img files. Like I said, I'll let you know if I have any luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lecrocq:
I'll do the same. Thank you for your feedback! ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunalsmojo:
success!

vbmeta.img was the issue! I have successfully rooted via magisk!

What you need to do is first flash an empty vbmeta.img file. You can download one by doing a Google search for "mtk empty vbmeta.img"

Just ignore the stuff for TWRP (unless you want to go that route too). Down toward the bottom of the tutorial, there is a link to download an empty vbmeta.img. Move the image into your adb/fastboot folder (or whichever directory you are working from) Then,

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash vbmeta vbeta.img
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot

I used the tutorial from hovatek.... I'm too much of a newb to post outside links

replace "magisk_patched.img" if you changed the name. I did mine with my padded magisk_patched.img. Let me know if you have issues with yours not being padded
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lecrocq:
THANK YOU!

Yes, that worked for me as well!

So, first I tried to uncheck 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' before patching the boot.img in Magisk but this didn't work (same bootloop).

Then I patched the boot.img in Magisk with the 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' checked, and edited the file in HxD but found no trace of '2C 76 65 72 69 66 79' or 'verify'.

Finally I resigned myself to flash the empty vbmeta.img found on Hovatek's website (blog post 'DM_Verity is probably why that TWRP flash ends in a bootloop') and flashed the non-padded boot image produced by Magisk.

And this last option worked! So THANK YOU so much for your help!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaleg:
Hi :) May I ask if after rooting did you install a custom ROM?

Does the stock android that you get contains any personalization, like MUI or similar?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunalsmojo:
I didn't install a custom rom, but I did eventually flash the Vanilla Bless GSI by [MENTION=8281637]eremitein[/MENTION]. Magisk still worked with patched boot, runs super smooth, and offers a ton of great customizations.

The stock rom is lackluster; it's the phone itself that has a ton of cool features like the underwater camera. I haven't really checked if all of those features are still usable with the GSI. To be honest, haven't really thought of it. Haven't gotten much of my intended use out of it during coroneumonia times. Sounds like a fun investigation, though. If it doesn't work straight out, I'm sure it can be made to work with a little tinkering.

Hello,

I'm trying to unlock my bootloader for my new Armor 7X but i'm struggling with the fastboot command.

First, there is two "fastboot" mode with this phone :

- the first when you do an : adb reboot bootloader. There is "=> FASTBOOT mode" in the screen. In this mode I can't detect my phone with "fastboot devices" command...

- the second mode is when you power on the phone with the volume "-"and you select "enter fastboot" in the menu. In this mode the phone is detected by "fastboot devices" ! But, the command "fastboot flashing unlock" always fails.

The error :

"FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command flashing unlock')

fastboot: error: Command failed

I've tried severals adb/fastboot tools without any succes. I think it's a driver issue but I'm not sure.

If someone have an idea, I will be greatful !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastnacek:

Probleme Solved, Use the NON-EU ROM !

I've find the problem ! It was the EU version of the ROM that blocked fastboot, so use the NON-EU version for that.

I've have succesfully rooted my phone, thank you for this thread !

I don't know exactly what are the differences between the two versions but everything seems to work normally.

Hi all, I've got a question.

I am trying to flash the boot.img but when I download the rom files from the ulefone website for the note 8, it does not include a boot.img. I can only see boot-debug.img and boot-sign.img . Which one should I select?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastnacek:
This is not about Note 8.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammeister:
I would also like to confirm

I would also like to confirm that this approached worked for me without issue. Some tips that may prove useful for someone, ensure that you have the correct drivers, adb, fastboot, vcom, and cdc. I had issues using fastboot because I did not have the correct drivers, a day was wasted on this.

I also used the tutorial from hovatek, his blog post is where you will find the vbeta.img, I could not correctly flash my patched magisk without first patching the vbeta.img.

Thanks again.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Noam23:
Right now if I want to listen to stereo through the BT headset, I need to do the following:

1. Enter the COMM manager.

2. Enter settings>Bluetooth.

3. Enter my BT headset.

4. Mark "Wireless Stereo".

5. Press "save".

When I want to stop using the BT headset for Stereo, I need to do it all over again.

This process is very cumbersome, and I wondered if there is a way to make it a "one key process".

If only I knew of a MACRO software for WM6 that can create a file for the MACRO, I could put this file on the programs tab, but I know of no such software...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dave.ski:
Sorry a further question rather than an answer.

What B/T headphones are you using I have tried using my Jabra 320's (which worked brilliantly on my SE W880I) but it will only recognises it as a B/T hands free unit, no BT stereo, as far as I can see it should see the A2DP profile but not.

With your problem, have you tried going to settings, communications tab and turn off B/T broadcasting?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] surur:
The macro software is called mortscript, but the real solution is teksoft's free a2dptoggle.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Noam23:
I'm using Sony's DS980 headphones (The LED allows you to see CallerID, initiate calls from your contacts, control your music, etc.).

But I still want to use the "hands free" feature, so this is not a good option.

Thanks surur. I once gave a2dptoggle a chance with my Kaiser, didn't work. Will try again now with the Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Noam23:
Woohoo ! a2dptoggle worked !!!

It's working great as a plugin for SecondToday...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Noam23:
Ok, today I found out I can't use the A2DPtoggle thingy. It seems my DS980 headset activates the A2DP feature everytime I press on one of its keys (even just to enter contacts).

I simply don't understand how come nobody succeeded to add an A2DP toggle to the COMM manager...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adwinp:
I recommend http://maxmobilesoft.com/software/btmusic

Works like a charm.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Noam23:
Thanks.

I tried it but it doesn't seem to work well. When I press "enable", all it changes is the "headset audio" to ON (but A2DP doesn't change to ON), then I hear everything through the headset, but it's not A2DP quality, rather the mono quality of a regular phone call.

Samsung JUST released Firmware Update R825USQU1ATF2 for the Galaxy Watch Active2 (SM-R825U) on 7/24/20, so it would appear that you do have the latest.

I have Mobile Internet as my free bolt on from O2 and the Mobile Data works well.
