Does this method erase user data and do a factory reset, as other guides say?

I know there is always a risk and it's important to make a backup, but my question is if everything goes as expected, is the phone data erased?

Other guides do the command "fastboot erase userdata" before "fastboot erase cache".
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bogdi_P:
I removed the erase data line cuz I didn't saw why it would be required since it was working great without it

Can you please share how you did modifications?

I am on MIUI Global 12.0.2 Stable 12.0.2.0(QJOINXM) which is an Indian ROM. Model is M2003J15SI.

I downloaded my firmware zip from Updater -> Download latest package.

I can take boot.img, vbmeta.img from it.

After I can patch the boot.img with Magisk.

But what I have to do with vbmeta.img?
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ma259:
You can manually patch vbmeta file using an Hex Editor or you can download any already patched vbmeta file for any MIUI version for this device and flash it.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Akitake:
Successfully rooted + edXposed on STOCK rom and GSI roms.

Patched my own boot image (magisk_patched.img) with magisk manager.

To make Netflix & some other apps work

, get the liboemcrypto disabler module in Magisk Manager

Also, to pass SafetyNet:

- Enable Magisk Hide

- Install and activate the Riru - Core and Riru - EdXposed (YAHFA or SANDHOOK, both work) modules in magisk manager

- Get EdXposed manager

- Get the HiddenCore Module and activate it

- In EdXposed Manager: Compat List, and tick HiddenCore Module

To avoid issues (Chrome crashes, potential SIM issues, etc..) with HiddenCore:

- In EdXposed Manager, go to Settings > Framework > Enable "App List mode"

- Still in EdXposed Manager, go to Applications(Black List) and tick: Android Services Library, Chrome, Google Play services, Play Store, Google Services Framework

- Reboot and enjoy, you're all set and SafetyNet should pass just fine, and you can do whatever you want.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] :
Well, i fuc**d up my Mi Mix 3, and then I had to replace the screen.

After installation, the device was in bootloop.

When I try normal booting it will switch from "Mi" to "MIX" and the animation at the bottom of the screen will freeze after a couple clicks and it will loop back to restarting (but twice it has just ended with an all black screen). Rebooting from Mi Recovery mode results in the same.

I reinstalled the ROM and the process was OK. But the problem continued. Can anyone help me resuscitate my device?

-Mi Mix 3 (perseus) Global

-Locked bootloader
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BostonDan:
So I finally tracked down the bootlooping problem with my phone. It is the power button is stuck pressed on. I have ordered a new flex cable for the power button and volume keys, and my phone is currently disassembled, but I cannot find any guides/videos on how to replace this flex cable.

Does anybody have a link to such a video? I am hopeful this fixes my phone.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] nikhilnangia:
This happened to me recently. Believe it or not, I fixed it by cleaning it. The issue is dust/ dirt getting stuck in between the button.

You can try repeatedly pressing the button fast.

If that doesn't work, try pressing it super hard.

If that doesn't work, try hitting it (gently!) Against a table (impact on the power button)

Finally, if that doesn't work - and this is what fixed it for me - take a small piece of paper and stick it in between the power button and clean it by moving that around. As much as you can.

Tell me if any of these worked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
You should be able to find out how to repair it here.

https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+3+XL+Teardown/113656
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BostonDan:
I had checked that site. Nothing about removing the power and volume buttons. I suspect that one has to carefully separate the flex cable from a metal support, and then one could unscrew the metal support. I will do a teardown once my new power button and volume buttons flex cable arrives.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BostonDan:
So, I received my new flex cable and installed it. Easy peasy. I did have to remove the previous flex cable/button.

There is a metal bar for support when you push the buttons with three screws, on pointing vertical and two pointing horizontal. Because the button flex cable gets bent over the support bar, you have to either carefully remove the flex cable from the support bar, or cut the flex cable around the two horizontal screws. Once removed from the body, a sharp knife is needed to remove the glued buttons from the support bar. Fairly easy to pop them off with a sharp knife.

Finally, due to an error in the system I had to wipe and lose my data partition. But all seems to be well now. I'm not closing up the phone just yet, as I have a new battery coming on Monday and I want to replace the current battery before I close it up fully.

Hope this helps anybody else.

Cheers,

B.D.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BostonDan:
No pics or vids. Recommend buying plastic razer blades to separate the back. Be careful of the fingerprint sensor connector. I ended up breaking mine.

I used a heat gun to hear up the back glue and then worked the plastic razer blade around the body. It was painful to do, but it all worked out.

Good luck.

By putting music in the folder of miui tape recorder app, you can listen to it through the call speaker

It does not have much interest, except to see that the quality is rather not bad, even if obviously less powerful than the multimedia speaker

The camera may be a lacking in whatever technical way, but the viewfinder on the main display makes taking pictures SO much more enjoyable. I literally don't think I can go back to shooting shots on a normal candybar phone.

My car is an odd bit of gray/blue but the accuracy is on point with the Bixby enhancements turned off. Wide angle shots are equally as awesome as the shots on the main lens.

Quality can't be assessed because xda forums just compress the files, but I'm enjoying the overall experience immensely!

Hi,

Been doing some research on Windows Mobile/PPC shells.

So far I have tried the following.

1.

HTC Home with SPB Mobile shell HOME icons only. (only way i know how to get icons on my home screen was via spb..)

I mainly use this right now.

2.

I tried out ThrottleLauncher's TouchFlo3D

IT IS OKAY, not bad actaully. Still some issues. But not bad at all.

3.

Winterface, wow i really love this.

My major issue is, it has no today plug-in so I always find myself back at the windows today screen all the time.

Other lame issue is their SMS app and contact app and photo app, they could have integrated those standalone apps way better into a single product.

Overall vito's app suite looks promising.

Anyhow,

My question is what other mobile shells are there? Is there anything out there close to winterface but better? I really like it. Overall anymore finger friendly things? Post/link me to other apps. Please give me thoughts.... and ideas...

*PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER INSTALLED BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS*

There isn't much to it. Stock, if you try to select another launcher, the MS Launcher overlays on top of your chosen default launcher. The solution? Disable it...

Enable debuging menu and USB debugging

Plug into your PC and type "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.microsoft.launcher

Accept all prompts on your phone allowing USB debugging

You are now free of the trash MS launcher included with this phone and can use your own. Fair warning, Nova seems a bit buggy for me. But lawnchair is great so far.

If you want to go back to the MS Launcher, do this:

adb shell pm enable com.microsoft.launcher

Edit:

Lawnchair seems to work perfect

Nova works if you disable auto rotation in the look and feel section

I tried tricking the MS Launcher into working as it does on EVERY OTHER Phone by installing the preview apk but it seems to know it's on the Duo and reverts to dumb mode.

This phone is now SO MUCH faster and more responsive. I cannot believe how badly Ms shot themselves in the foot with that modded version of their own launcher that works so well on any other phone.
