[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] c.whoopee:
I have one particular scenario and several questions involving this:

I managed to return back to custom rom using Xiaomi Flash Tool and a 12.0.4.0 version of the MIUI 12 also bootloader unlocked. I saw this post and decided to change roms again. Only this time it requires TWRP (since several roms needed Permissiver_v4.zip to avoid bootloop for some reason) I wanted to flash TWRP, and then, fastboot flash that specific rom and flash permissiver via TWRP. The questions are:

1.) Will flashing Permissiver on an unofficial TWRP work since the 12.0.4.0 update or older seems compatible with the recovery?

2.) Since Erfan's GSI ROM recommends root users to flash permissiver as a way to change SElinux from Enforcing to Permissive before booting up, for you, what is the best alternative for Permissiver without flashing via TWRP since it has major issues when flashing on Redmi Note 9?

3.) Does flashing rom via fastboot and flashing permissiver via TWRP work?
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
You can't downgrade your miui version without unlocked bootloader. For this, you need unlocked bootloader and use fastboot for flashing older version. You don't need any permissive patcher, everything is working fine on higher miui versions. Everything you need to do is flash some partition from older versions and newer versions will works perfectly. I am sorry about custom rom, but I don't like it and I will never use it.

If you are using V12.0.5.0 or higher, TWRP will not work.

If you want to keep TWRP working on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to flash the stock rom

lk

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

lk

partition version).

Here, are

If you want to disable TWRP, you need to flash stock rom

recovery

partition.

One more question..

1. Does the Unofficial twrp work? I mean if I managed to flash twrp on Redmi Note 9 12.0.40.0, can it flash several zip files?
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Read the reply again, I've already answered it.

There is no V12.0.40.0, the correct version is V12.0.4.0.

About flashing, it will depend on the changes made by the zip file.

You need to try for to know.

Thanks so much for all these info, I will check it out properly. I'm exactly on this MIUI version (12.0.7.0 QJOMIXM Global). So I will try to flash the TWRP you suggested me. Thanks again for your advise, is very much appreciated!

Followed your suggestion (MIUI V12.0.7.0.QJOMIXM and used TWRP v3.4.2b-1213 by wzsx15) but got into bootloop unfortunately. Maybe downgrading to an earlier miui version and other TWRP? ideas welcome!
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Did you follow the guide?

Did you flash the patched vbmeta?
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] soundreamer:
I didn't flash vbmeta. I will do and try again. I'm using ADB/ Fastboot tool. So first, I should flash vbmeta image and then, TWRP. Do I'm right? In which partition I need to flash vbmeta? (boot, recovery, system, etc.) Thanks!
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Evern with unlocked bootloader, Vbmeta verifies if any partition has changed, if it was, then it reboots the device, causing a bootloop.

You need to patch vbmeta if you want to apply changes to your device.

Here, you can find patched vbmeta for MERLIN:

I saw it, but Im not in PC but Mac so is not the same terminal script i guess
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
You need to do the exact same thing.

If you are flashing the vbmeta.img, obviously the name of the partition is vbmeta.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mobarok_:
Should i need to flash vbmeta before flashing recovery or after flashing recovery? It wasn't clear there.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
The vbmeta is so simple, it can only do two things: allow the beginning of the boot, or not.

If you flash the stock vbmeta without disabled verity and disabled verification, your device will be bricked.

Vbmeta verifies if any partition has changed, if it was, then it reboots the device, causing a bootloop.

You really need to patch vbmeta if you want to apply changes to your device.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone8:
Had the same problem. What helped me was to modify install.sh in the zip file downloaded by Magisk (Xposed_Framework-v90-beta3(9030).zip) as described here: github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/xposed/issues/1; i.e., change mv to cp -af in the line that intends to create $MODPATH/system/framework/XposedBridge.jar.

Uninstall the Xposed module in Magisk. Reboot. Install the newly modified zip in Magisk ("Install from storage"). Reboot. Xposed is now active :-)

Strangely, manually copying the XposedBridge.jar from the zip file to $MODPATH/system/framework didn't solve the problem. :confused:

[General Questions and Answers] I S 3 5 0:
My sister ran away yesterday evening and she has no phone on her to track, but she left what appears to be a Samsung j3 behind that she used before she left. This could be what saves her life, I very much need XDAs help here. I have rooted and messed with phones and Odin around 5 years ago so I am very rusty with this stuff. Could someone please guide me on recovering her phones data and/or bypassing the lockscreen?
[General Questions and Answers] ThatLatinGuy:
Specific model? A while ago on some models you could flash twrp and work to avoid it.

As for bypassing the lock screen, I would suggest not trying to unlock it, some people use the settings so that after enough wrong attempts to unlock the phone, it factory resets.

If the data inside the phone is a priority, take it to a specialist or the relevant authorities ASAP.

I do not suggest trying twrp as in this case, damaging the phone could bring serious

consequences
[General Questions and Answers] I S 3 5 0:
I would agree to hand it to the authorities, but the cops already existing 24 hour missing person rule has already killed so many children. I sincerely doubt the phone would find the right hands to access the data within a week, the professionals are right here on the internet across the world.

How do I find out the specific model? Would that be in a safe boot screen? For extra info, it has a removable rear cover and battery.

But what you are saying is there is no way to bypass the lock screen even with twrp?

Based on info I gathered from her search history on her school laptop, she could be on a greyhound. I've already told the authorities but they are quite slow at their job. Time is of the essence with this. Thank you for replying
[General Questions and Answers] ThatLatinGuy:
Turn the phone off , take the battery out , it should have something written on it like

smj30km

In some older models and versions you could use twrp to explore the contents of the phone , and even edit the system files to remove the lock , you cannot remove the google account this way mind you .

However given the stakes I again suggest against it as if something goes wrong , the phone will be wiped.

If you wish to do so anyway I will leave the links to the posts , but I will not be able to help if something goes wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] I S 3 5 0:
I forgot all the issues surrounding the google account. That pretty much leaves me with no options, I will have to just give it up to the authorities. Thank you for the good advice. Would it be appropriate to simply take this post down
[General Questions and Answers] ThatLatinGuy:
I truly hope you cand find her , sorry if I came across as rude or not willing to help , but the fact that as you said , the phone is the only thing that may help you makes it difficult to recommend a twrp flash or even rooting the phone as this may damage it .

Wish you the best

I've tried a lot of different drivers on different computers and none work, windows tells me driver installation failed and says it can't start the device.

I've tried LG ADB Drivers for windows, LG Mobile Driver v4.1.1, LG Mobile Driver v4.5.0 and LG PC Suite 5-53.28.

There are several programs/functions i never use, so is it possible to remove them? I'm thinking of programs such as MP3 Trimmer, Windows Live, Windows Update and others.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] enfant_terrible1979:
not really. these are embedded into the rom.

try our specially 'cooked' roms for different flavours
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] charly_mx:
indeed

You cant just remove programs that are ROM based. However there are some apps that are "installed" when you hard reset your phone. This apps can be removed, however they will return when you hard reset your phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pedmond:
Just go on never using them. You will gain absolutely nothing by removing them from ROM.

However, if you don't want to see them in the program list, just remove the shortcuts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] weblance:
Ok, I'm just gonna live with it. Hoped that there was something to gain by freeing up som ROM.

Hi.

Yesterday I've recived my ordered Vontar. I was not a fan of the system so i changed it via sd card. I've done it a couple of times with different ones but it something strange happened. Now, when i turn on this device with a 'reset' button and a sd card in it, it won't show 'updating' screen. In fact, I can't even go to 'apply update from ext' - the 7z file won't show under this option. But, I can install TWRP from Slimbox therad and wipe all. Also i tried to 'install' img file via TWRP but in the end it show 'System not installed'. I checked all the comments in this section but i found no answers. I think that's the only place for me to receive help because i was searching the web for 5 hours and now i'm out of ideas. I'm using custom roms on my phone since 2015 but this tv boxes are new to me.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
This usually indicate that either the bootloader is not compatible, The DTB dosnt have the right gpio pins assigned to the reset button making it non functional among other reasons, i Strongly advise against using an SD card to try new firmwares as you can end up in a situation like this where your box is semi broken with no way to get out of it, you should buy/obtain a USB A Male to USB A Male Cable & Use USB Burning Tool As This Is How to Recover From a Bad Flash & Not 100% Compatible Firmwares and even recover a "Bricked Box" that looks like it wont even power on (no LED or output to TV), Been Using This Method For Years And Havent Bricked A Box Beyond Repair Yet :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] andreyGM:
Thanks for an advice. Yesterday i was very scared because of this situation. I thought that i wasted about 50$ but now i'm more chilled. Somewhere i've read that Vontar is basically the same as for example as HK1 but installing it's OS was not a great idea (I've done similar things on my Huawei G620s with the similar phone OS). I will try the USB method and reply the result. My ordered cable will be in a few days. Again, thanks for a reply. This thread could be useful if someone will have the same problem like me.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Good Luck & Let Us Know How You Get On :)

Like You said. Two minutes and Vontar is running a new OS without any problems. My SD card will come back to my car as a navigation. Thank You.

We’d be delighted if Labs could continue, but as a small technical team and we don’t have the resources to maintain it.

Hi everyone, i came here because i have a issue with my phone and i try some fix and read a lot of forums and i didn't fine a solution, hope you can help me guys!.

Like the tittle says, i have Samsung J7 Prime metrocps SM-J727T1 with Bootloop and secure download: enable.

This was a gift from my brother, and when he gave it to me he reset it to the factory from the phone options. He commented to me that at that moment was when the device entered in bootloop recovery mode automatically with the error "no support single sku supported api 3 dm-verity error failed code 0x02".

I installed the firmware "USA (MetroPCS) TMK J727T1UVS3ARE1 J727T1TMK3ARE1 Android 7.0 Nougat Wednesday, May 23, 2018" via Odin v3.14.4 but i only install the AP because at that time I did not know that I should install the 4 files (ap, bl, cp, csc).and i get 1 error at my phone (i can't remember what was right now). after that i put the device in download mode again and i install all the 4 files from the firmware successfully but getting the same error (no support single sku supported api 3 dm-verity error failed code 0x02).

I tried to root it with CF-AUTO-ROOT WITH THIS ONE

https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:1690/firmware:16304 and the installation failed, after that i had to remove the battery of my phone because it got stock in download mode. After that i put my phone in download mode again and I don't know if this was like this from the beginning but my download mode looks like this:

ODIN MODE

DOWNLOAD SPEED: FAST

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

FRP LOCK: OFF

Secure Download: Enabled

WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0X0000)

RP SWREV: B:3 K:1 S:1

i tried using an old version of smart switch and the program says unsupported device or something like that when i tried the "Device initialization" method.

The last thing i did was install the firmware "USA (MetroPCS) TMK J727T1UVU3BRH3 J727T1TMK3BRH3 Android 8.1.0 Oreo Monday, September 17, 2018" which was installed correctly according to Odin. now my device does not go into recovery mode directly but stays on the "Samsung J7 prime" logo doing a bootloop and to be able to access in recovery mode I have to do it with the combination of buttons (vol up + home + power button).

Now i got this error:

E:[libfs_mgr] Error creating device mapping: Device or resource busy

E:[libfs_mgr] Couldn't create verity device!

E: Failed setting up dirty target

[omc-permission] fail to mount /system as rwE:[libfs_mgr]Error creating device mapping: Device or resource busy
