[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] karlovac:
Thanks, but I guess I'm still not clear how I can be sure that I'm corrupting it correctly. The way I'm flashing is by putting a directory, not a single .img file. The directory looks like this:

firmware_1_10/
├── ALIGN_TO_128K_1.bin
├── abl.elf
├── aop.mbn
├── apdp.mbn
├── bluetooth.bin

Is there a specific file in there that I should purposefully omit so that it definitely fails to update?

Thanks for your help!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] karlovac:
@ccraze thanks, I'm aware of that. I was *really* hoping to avoid doing that all over again, not least because of how time-consuming it is to set everything up again. I'm also nervous because as you know, sometimes mysterious bugs happen (e.g. sensors not working). If I am not confident of undoing this auto-update, then I'll fall back to that approach.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] pl1992aw:
The "boot.img" you listed there to flash into the boot partition/ boot drive. You can use old version or simply a wrong file or empty file and flash it into boot partition/ boot drive, will achieve a purposely corrupt.

Through fastboot command, you can flash a single partition. You don't need to flash the whole ROM/firmware.

Don't need to touch other stuff.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] MarcelWhy:
Apologies for replying to such an old post. Do you still feel that 1.10 is best as far as functionality? If I understood you, 1.13 breaks GPS and 1.11 has sensor problems. Is this correct? Thank you very much!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] ccraze:
I would suggest to stay on the first A9 version that you flash. Any update on that might break something. BTW now there is a way to flash A11 on A2020U and have GPS working. Kudos to @bgroins for finding a way to flash A11 with working GPS. You can follow this post. 👇

[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] MarcelWhy:
Yes, I've been active in that thread. My experience with A11 on my A2020U has been less than ideal. For some reason I continue to have GPS issues and VoLTE seems to be broken (among other annoyances). A9 then is my last resort. I seem to recall having the fewest problems a couple years ago toward the beginning of my ownership. This is why I asked which A9 version might provide the best experience. Thanks again!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] ccraze:
Sorry I didn't realize that I replied to you on other thread 🙂. I was on A9 for more than a year. GPS fixing to a location was definitely better than A11. Volte and vowifi were also there. Except for few features I didn't see any issues with A9. e.g. google pay doesn't let you use fingerprint. One annoying issue I saw is that my display font settings used to get reset frequently. Otherwise it worked fine. In fact I kept EDL backup for my A9 installation before installing A11. For A9, after you flash the image, I would suggest if possible to do the initial setup without Wifi or having sim card, so that you can disable auto download and auto update as the first step after opening settings. Try not to get any update after flashing A9.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] MarcelWhy:
Appreciate the tips!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] MarcelWhy:
After the problems with A11 I'm trying to go back to A9 and this is where I get stuck <see attached>

As best I can tell writing seems to fail, the phone is in EDL mode and I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers] ccraze:
Sorry, haven't seen this issue before. From the error message it looks like some connectivity issue with serial port while writing data. If you have taken backup from flashing A9, you can try to restore that using EDL tool. Probably @bobthenormal or @bgroins would be able to help.

Just wanted to share this tidbit with all folks concerned, posted on Sammobile's website pertaining to our brethren rocking the carrier-locked handsets, SM,-N981U & SM-N986U respectively (SM-N986U1, NOPE)!

I have included/shared the link as posted via Sammobile's site:

OK, of that I'm 1 for 3.🤔

Familiar w/goodlock, but that's as far as I go. (I've got some look-ups to do)!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheWebMachine:
Yeah, I always find the trailing of GoodLock modules support disheartening. I rely on a lot of modifications to get things exactly how I want them...and now I have to live without those mods again until GoodLock catches up...likely just in time for Android 12's release. 🤦‍♂️

That said, I finally took the plunge and installed it last night. I did find one other bug that could trip some folks up: If you had a 3rd party Home app selected

before

upgrade, you may find that pressing the Back button while in Recents screen (coming to Recents from Home) will bring up One UI Home instead of your chosen 3rd party Home app. 👎

To correct:

goto Settings > Apps > Choose Default Apps

You'll likely see "None" as the Home App default, even if your desired 3rd party Home app is coming up properly when you press...well...the Home button 🤷‍♂️

At any rate, select "One UI Home" as your default Home app temporarily, which will exit settings and take you to One UI Home because...well...reasons 😑

go back to Settings > Apps > Choose Default Apps and select your desired 3rd party Home app once again as your default 👍

Now your proper 3rd party Home app will be presented when pressing the Back button while in Recents screen. ✅

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
Since upgrading my phone more than a month ago, since then (and I believe before that as well). When I go into my Outlook configuration screen my only choice for email type is Text, and it's grayed out, and won't let me change it. Yesterday (after I had first flashed 3.2.6) I saw that I could change it. I was in the process of playing with Sashimi trying to get it to work the way I wanted, and after getting all that setup, I noticed that I am locked back in to TEXT only again.

Is there a registry change or am I installing something that would be preventing me from choosing HTML.

Thanks,

BTC
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jeffgman:
HTML push e-mail is only available when connecting with an Exchange 2007 server. If you are connecting to an Exchange 2003 or later version of the server software, you can only send and receive text e-mails. This is a limitation on the server software and nothing to do with the mobile device.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
Ah, wonder if it showed me the drop down because it hadn't synced yet.

Thanks for the info.

BTC
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jeffgman:
Yes. Once you sync for the first time it figures out what the capabilities are of the server and then will only offer you those options. I was pretty confused the first time around also.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] lemminman:
The model is G020E, but does not have any Verizon branding on it; everything just says Google. I was told it was a Sprint phone, but I don't know if that means Sprint sold it, or if it was just moved to Sprint network at some point. Either way, the only branding (physical and software) is Google.

When I go into Developer Options, OEM unlocking is greyed out and says "Connect to the internet or contact your carrier." (Connecting to the internet doesn't change anything.)

From what I've read, there's no way to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon version. Does it sound like this phone is in that group?

Also, I've read some people saying that Verizon will unlock the phone after it's been activated for a couple months. It seems like they are talking about SIM unlocking, but I've also seen claims that people got the bootloader unlocked by just waiting the 60 or so days. Anyone have any experience with that?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Bramton1:
I Googled the model and it said it's an unlocked model. But once you boot it with that Verizon SIM card in it, Verizon will lock you out of OEM unlocking. Remove your SIM card and factory reset. Go through the setup, then try the OEM unlocking again (remember after you flip that switch, you still need to go through fastboot to actually unlock). Then factory reset again, this time with your SIM card installed.

That 60 days thing is definitely SIM unlocking. It will be a cold day in hell before Verizon consciously allows the bootloader to be unlocked.

Hi,

I have a Asus Nexus 7 with the following characteristics:

Android Version: 6.0.1

Kernel Versión: 3.4.0-gae95f7e-dirty

Build Number: MOB30X

I installed NetHunter in it.

I have problems with the OTG conection. I tested 3 type of OTG cables and none of them work.

View attachment 5162343

I tested with a ALFA AWUS036H and CROTA2000MW. In addition, I tested with different USB drives, formatted on FAT32 and NTFS.

Besides, I tested with a lot of OTG media manage apps, even Nexus Media Importer app.

Why is it happening this? How can I fix it?

Thank you.

UPDATED:

Recently I bought another OTG cable but in this case with the possibility of adding power supply, but it doesn't work either.

UPDATED 2:

I tried changing init.usb.rc fromde root directory of my Nexus 7. For that, I downloaded this file from the following source:

rootdir/init.usb.rc - platform/system/core - Git at Google

To copy this file to root directory of Nexus 7 and change its permissions, I used adb, but I needed to install "adb insecure" app in the device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1687590

I installed the app and I executed the following adb commands frommy computer:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /
adb shell su -c "cp /sdcard/Download/init.usb.rc /"
adb shell su -c "chmod 646 /init.usb.rc"
adb shell mount -o ro,remount /

The file was copied and its permissions was changes succesfully but when I rebooted Nexus 7, the original file returned with the same permissions.

[LineageOS News & Discussion] papperlapapp:
Hi there,

I have LOS 17.1 20201215 installed but SeedVault seems not to be part of it.

Is SeedVault safe to use?
[LineageOS News & Discussion] papperlapapp:
solved

I was wrong, Seedvault actually is part of LOS 17.1 20201201. It is a bit hidden in the advanced settings, somewhere there is an option "backup" or similar, this is Seedvault. When using it first, you have to confirm the suggested passphrase and then configure it.

I just made a backup, but never tried to restore a backup.

Unfortunately, the maker of an app can decide if his app´s data should be backed up or not. I could not backup the data of many apps, because the programmer decided the data should not be backed up.

This makes the use of Seedvault a bit limited.

depends how important the secrets are??

To compensate for the reduced battery life from the Diaond battery, you could store a spare battery in the space.

Might be handy to know in an emergency if you have access to both, though.

Yes, less capacity or more capacity for the diamond if you could get the back on. :)

Does any android 11 Rom supports exFAT or 64GB+ Sd Card?

the last Android 11 rom i tried, i don't remember the name, says my 64GB SD card is corrupted. While it works flawlessly on Android 10.

Can someone give me a solution? about that or suggest any particular 11 rom, or any tricks?

Thanks In Advance
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Pasarireng:
No (for exFAT).

I'm experiencing it now.

Sorry my phone is not xiaomi, it's an ASUS ZF MPM 1. On Custom ROM Colt 7 (Based on AOSP Android 11).

After read some articles on internet that ExFAT would be able to be read by my phone (which are false information! Damn), then,

I just formatted my 512GB Micro SD into ExFAT, and transfer my files (about few hours to do with a class 10 card, USB 3 card reader & ports) into it, on Windows 10 PC.

When I put it back on my phone, the phone forces me to format it first before I can use it as a Portable Storage. Which I know would be aFAT32 again like before. Damn.

Now I have to repeat the time consuming procedures again, put it out from my phone, put it into the USB card reader, copy all the files into my PC storage, re-format the Micro SD Card with FAT32, copy all the files back again into the Micro SD, and then I can use it in my phone.

Damn.

Don't repeat my fault. Maybe there are some phones and ROMs which can use ExFAT, you can try if you want. But IMO to be safe, just format it into FAT32. Yes, with all the limitation of FAT32 LOL.

Oh and about the solution of what you experience, perhaps.. Backup your Card, and then format it, I recommend to format it on PC or "with TWRP' if on your phone. I hope that can solve your problem like mine before.

Good luck
