I think this 3d can be closed. Now update is safe and also the best choice
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tutankpusch:
Not really. Superuser ofc but nothing beside. Also, i updated Magisk before.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DallasCZ:
😂 you have to be on full stock to apply update.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pan05:
After new year's eve update disaster, I've manually unbricked my phone using a guide and now I am on a11 12.0.3.0 global. Everything is fine except for my widevine level which has now been degraded to L3.

I'm thinking of reapplying the same version (12.0.3.0) OTA package via fastboot -> apply update from sd card to see if that will make any difference. Is it safe to do so? Will I loose any data?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tereyaglidoner:
Yeah still definitely not the best choice. According to you it might be, but definitely riddled with bugs. If that's what you mean by the best, go right ahead nobody is stopping you from updating.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tutankpusch:
which guide you used? did you buy a cable for it or open the phone?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DallasCZ:
the OTA package will not be

what bugs do you mean? i didnt notice any so far.

and this thread is (was) about the brick problem with the first OTA rollout and this is solved allready.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DallasCZ:
this won't work. You can't update with the same version.

And you have to be on a full stock without unlocked bootloader to get L1.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pan05:
Well i finally tried this but the OTA is not installing. It says current build is newer than this (current timestamp is greater than the timestamp of the OTA). So I'm back to square zero again..

The thing is that I am full stock with locked bootloader but L3.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DallasCZ:
locked or relocked bootloader?

you definitely miss something. I don't know what steps you made by unbricking the device.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pan05:
Locked, as i never unlocked it.

I've used the guide by nullby. I think it's also posted somewhere here in xda.

From my research, those who chose to retain their data degraded to L3 while those who formatted their data kept L1. That's why i'm trying to find a way to get back my L1 ideally without the data loss that will occur if i unlock the bootloader and flash fastboot rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wetito:
My update is buggy free. And i'm very happy to do this. Maybe eu version is different from global??? Because my phone works perfectly!

It has passed few days since I saw this Android 11 update on my device. But, I will give more few weeks until update-it 'cause I am seeing so many people complaining mainly about lagging and battery, respectively.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilidari:
I'm using 11 for a week now, I must say its best update so far, I really dont have any bugs noticeable. I didn't follow any steps but this is my situation

I had stock android 10 (no bootlader unlocked, no root, no custom anything)

BEFORE update I did factory wipe from recovery

After boot I did update, and I'm using it since

I used a dcd titan kitchen to upgrade my phone, i did the bootloader and radio rom. now it wont go to sleep nor will the gps connect to satelites. Ideas? I have a USCC HTC PPC 6800
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
I had no problems, but I used QPST to save and reload my phone's programming. Unless you did that you may have issues. I don't have enough experience in getting you back online since there is no stock rom that you can flash back to in order to start over......

Did you load the USCC carrier cab?

And can you shut the phone off by just quickly pressing the power button? Did you verify your power save functions were set to auto-turn off the phone?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Umbellata:
Hello friends 👋

I'm trying to flash custom Q roms in TWRP on my S9 (SM-G960F), but have received the same error message for any Q rom:

I've only been able to successfully flash P roms, namely the Pie-based LightRom.

Based on the error message, it seems I need to update the firmware to Q before installing custom Q roms?

I've also seen some roms note installation requirements like "ROM Firmware Required: OneUI 2.x", which is new to me (have not seen a TW/OneUI ver requirement for roms I've used on S4, S7, N8).

May I ask someone to explain the steps required to install Q roms (eg, Havoc-OS) coming from P firmware? There seems to be some assumptions in most install instructions I'm not aware of, maybe since I am on older FW. (I am asking here, since I did not find instructions in any of the Q roms I tried)

So far, all I have done to the phone since unboxing it was to install TWRP 3.4.0, following the official guide for Exynos S9.

I am guessing I need to download latest official firmware image from sammobile or something for my device, and flash it in Odin. Is this correct?

If so, can someone explain the steps so that I can have latest FW for my device while maintaining TWRP and not bricking the device?

Thank you for your help :giggle:

Extra info

(Snapshot from LightRom rom)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Umbellata:
UPDATE:

I installed latest firmware from Sammobile, flashed it through Odin following their instructions, reinstalled TWRP, and am now able to flash Q roms.

For those who have stock rom < Q, I would suggest updating firmware through OTA before flashing TWRP. If you cannot OTA, download the latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it through Odin following their instructions, then flash TWRP, then you can flash Q roms.

So:

Update firmware through OTA or via Odin with latest firmware from Sammobile.

Flash TWRP

Flash whatever rom you want.

[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Robsjo:
Hey folks, see if this is the right forum to post this.

Like some other people on here and on reddit the latest Android 11 update C.57 caused a lot more battery drain on my device.

Before on A.46 my over night drain was about 2% which is good I think with Wifi on.

With Coloros 11 it can be over 10% drain over the course of 6-8 hours which is far more.

I have tried gather info from my phone which app is draining but it looks rather normal.

Even tried the adb command to force the phone get the phone to do the battery optimazation manually without luck, seems I have dont have the permission to make suchs commands through ADB with USB-debugging mode enabled..

However this morning I found in Settings>Battery>More Battery Settings>Optimize Battery Use

The whole list on every app there was set to "Always ask" and not "Optimize Automatically"

Now I changed every app to Optimize Automatically and will see how this affects the current drain.

I read somewhere that to the phone to get to this "state of battery optimazation" you need to have the phone in the right state to execute that which was Battery Full on Charger in idle mode not moving for a few hours.

So I thought if the battery optimazation settings where set to "always ask" (which it never did) this state maybe never happens?

Anyways feel free to share your battery settings and what Battery standby drains you guys got because I have been going a little nuts over this issue haha.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] __NBH__:
I wouldn't bother changing the battery optimisation settings, they seem to reset themselves.

I wasn't getting great battery life so finally did a factory reset. After a week the battery settled down and is now ok, probably around 5.5 hours screen time a day at qhd 120hz with always on display in from 8am to 11pm. I don't really check battery drain overnight, I will check it and report back.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Robsjo:
Yes I checked them again now after you mentioned it and they do seem to reset. However now my phone seems to work how it should, currently 3 hour screen on and 64% battery left. Wifi at home all day. Also the standy drain is night and day better now. Maybe this was a bug in Android 11 that kept it from optimize the apps?

I have adaptive on both refresh and resolution and same Always on time settings as you.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] __NBH__:
Glad it's working better now. I do find the battery a bit inconsistent, some days it's great and others it goes down quickly. I've turned location off now as dont need it that much, I lost 3% overnight which seems good to me.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jordytjes:
I really don't understand how you guys get such a low battery drain overnight.

On ColorOS 7 I had 10-12% drain overnight.

On ColorOS 11 it stayed the same. I have reset my phone, now it's about 7-8%.

This is with night optimization on in the settings. 5G disabled.

I always was able to get that 3% on my older OP 7 Pro. Even on my Realme X2 Pro, which had the same OS!

Also, my SOT is not that good. On mixed data/wifi I only usually get 3.5hrs SOT. After the reset its 4hrs now.

With 5G on it's unusable, even with good coverage here. (AccuBattery: 6hrs SOT, 57hrs standby, just very bad)

It's nice to have Dual SIM now with Singapore EX, but I cant use it, my battery just can't handle that.

I kept this phone just because the rest is awesome, but the battery is such a letdown.

I thought it was a SD865 problem, but I also had the Mi 10 and Poco F2 Pro as a secondary device without any drain problems.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Robsjo:
3% seems good.

However I had a big drain again over night so gonna try to set apps to optimize again.

It is indeed very inconsistent
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Robsjo:
Yes I agree the battery drain is very weird with this OS.

Have you tried changing the settings in the battery optimize section? I turned on optimize automatically and then charged my phone full and let it sit for a while with charger plugged.

Try this and see if it gets better.

Its weird that the settings change after a while tho.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stkrup:
Just recently managed to use the phone and have to confirm ColorOS 11 is killing battery overnight, I have this for few weeks now so should be all optimised, yet still overnight is around 25-30% battery gone, my previous mate 20 pro was taking maybe 2-3% overnight so is massive hit. No notification is allowed, do not disturb on with wifi and mobile off, really weird is behave like something in the background was still on.

Hello,

Lately I have a little problem with my uni.

The problem is that my battery status isn't displayed correctly. I know this because the device goes dead when the battery is at half. Now the battery lasts +/- a day so there isn't a drainage problem.

Is there a way to recalibrate the battery?

Thanks for the reply's.

ps: using Tomal's latest rom
