[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] gergmt:
Tried to flash an android 11 rom (was already on another android 11 custom rom), phone won't turn on now, only black screen. Holding power button + volume keys will only make the device restart(it disappears and reappears in device manager), so i cant get into fastboot. ADB devices and Fastboot devices won't detect it. In device manager it appears as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.

Now i don't have a phone, so if anyone can try to fix this please help.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] orishamen:
Same here. but mine won't even restart, the display is pure black & no vibrations are happening no matter what combination of buttons I'm doing,

Also- I don't even get to the flashing part on the Mi Flash tool. I keep on getting a `Input string was not in the correct format`. Altought I'm using the same dir name & also tried the same version of the Flash Tool as a tutorial I had seen on youtube.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] gergmt:
Update: managed to fix it using this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1CbIhdB14-kVzTulNpKBJjB1-R4y1hD3AlGZ5nGlkgik/mobilebasic

Only difference i had to do, that after each download i had to long press power button on the phone until the download button disappeared in QFIL, and after it reappeared i had to press it instantly otherwise it would give an error.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] orishamen:
Thanks for replying! I'll try it out ASAP:)

Keeps on failing `Sahara Fail: QSaharaServer Fail Process fail`
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] orishamen:
Thank you so much.

Turns out that the `Sahara failed` error I had mentioned up above, was because I didn't long press the phone as you mentioned after every Download.

TO THE READERS:

I had to disconnect the battery for these downloads. When the battery was connected I kept on getting these weird `Sahara` errors.

In addition to that, As @gergmt mentioned, I had to disconnect and connect the USB after each download. Or else, the `Sahara` errors would've attacked as well.

I had also long pressed the power button & volume up upon each time I had connected the phone to my computer, but I do not know if that step is also necessary.

Best regards and best of luck to you all!

P.S: Now I just need to figure out why I'm getting into a bootloop of the Android One screen (Had just flahsed SHRP & Bliss' ROM) :@

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
downloaded the newest hardspl and flash that, if that doesn't work download the newest shipped from for your phone from the wiki.

here is hardSPL

and here are the shipped roms

or official AT&T rom with radio stripped out (safer)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] alex8525:
Tried ATT rom..But it didn't work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Then try your official rom. (I put the custom RRU with the striped one).

Should work. If you can get into bootloader tisnt a perma brick.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
also see this thread here, looks like the guy solved a problem like yours
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
Try flashing with SD card! Read through wiki to figure out how to flash through SD card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] alex8525:
I have tried SD card method...

But it shows bootloader with IPL / SPL version and "Serial" at bottom...

It dose't load any thing...

I have tried installing ATT official rom also.. but it says use updeted utility to flash....

I am able to go to bootloader and get USB connection when connect to PC....

But I don't have Activesync installe on PC is it a problem??? and I can't install active sync because of some restriction....

How to come out of this?

Is there any way I can Hard reset phone? Without switch on it?

Please help ...M scared....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] alex8525:
I have done hard reset and now I m stuck at white screen .....

Is it bricked?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
ok, can you get into boot loader, press ok on left, and power on on right, and stick your stylus at the bottom, all together. Plug USB to PC, with boot loader screen, download the ATT rom mentioned here, and start the process. You have to have activesync 4.5 and .net 2.0 on your PC to have this to work.

Also, you have been given a link above for the official ATT without Radio, and here is the exact instructions on how to flash via SD. what part of any of these do you not understand?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hotrod101:
Why would you perform a hard reset right after asking about it and not even waiting for an answer? If you had any doubts you should have just waited. I don't know much about your problem but I would't be taking the chance of doing something I wasn't sure about thats for sure. I really hope you can get out of this mess.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] miffymiffy:
what size micro sd have u got. if it is larger than 2 or its a sdhc than you will not be able to flash sd method.

download another recent rom or just reflash the same dvha rom and do it through active sync on pc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] alex8525:
Finally got it working...

After 3 hard reset now I am out of white screen and now its working.

After 3 days

1. on splash screen

2. on bootloader

3. on white screen

Thank you everyone who have replied and who have atleast viewed.

learning:

Activesync is must for flashin through PC

new way to hard reset (thx wiki)

don't panic...your phone will be working sooner or later, if it was not a flshing that hanged it.

by d way i am posting from phone

[General Topics] KrisM22:
wifi not using connection to router unless I turn on airplane mode in phone.

see EDIT at bottom of this post...

LG Stylo 4 Plus, stock ROM, no mods.

router is SBR-AC1750, connected to comcast @ 200Mb

in router, set up wifi connection over 2.4Ghz called xxx

In phone connect to xxx.

Ookla speed test app says maybe 5Mbps - about what I would get OTA.

Turn on airplane mode,

re-turn on wifi connection to xxx.

Ookla says 37-40Mbps.

What am I doing wrong.

It is as if it is using/trying to use OTA, -

even though the SIM is removed for this test!!!

Acts the same way with SIM in.

Note, addy the same in wifi/advanced in either situation, but when in airplane mode, phone will see somebody's samsung, and my roku.

Behaviour seemed similar on one of my Moto X4's though I didn't pursue it endlessly.

Mod move if necessary but there is no appropriate Stylo 4 forum and nobody on the X4 forum would know. BTDT.

EDIT: I just changed from the 2.4G to 5Gbps router output and (without airplane mode) speed was 137Mbps. ASTOUNDING!! - so I can use this and yes, this is a fix(normal use range is about 2'), but wish I understood why it is so slow/problematic on 2.4G ???

EDIT2: I played with settings in router for 2.4Ghz and used g,n and 40Mb and improved things (Ookla) to about 30Mbps, but switched back to 5Ghz and immediately got 105Mbps. So I don't understand it but I will mark this solved.

Thanks all.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bANONYMOUS:
I don't know what happened, I was going to pair my smart watch (non-samsung) to my S21 Ultra but it wouldn't, so I rebooted the phone, and it rebooted with the One UI launcher instead of Nova Launcher, so I switched back to Nova, checked the default setting in Nova settings and it was still set to Nova as the default, when trying to leave the Nova settings, it again returned to One UI home, so I checked in settings for default apps, and Nova is still set to the default. So I tried force stopping One UI home, and return home, and again, it opens One UI home, it will not open Nova anymore.

I tried rebooting again, and oddly enough, Nova was the default launcher again. Figured it was just a glitch so I went on with my day and it just happened again but I haven't touched anything, it was on my desk all day untouched and when I picked it up, One UI launcher again.

Now, no matter how many times I reboot, it will always pick the One UI launcher, but the weird thing is when I'm in Nova, I can't swipe to go home because it's already on the default launcher, but when in an app, I swipe to go home and it goes to One UI home, and swiping to go home does nothing within that launcher as well.

So some how, not sure what happened, but the phone is using both launchers at the default now and there's no way to stop One UI from opening.

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, or if there's a fix for it, but would removing One UI with ADB (if possible) cause issues? Like if I force remove this with ADB will the phone even boot to a different default launcher if One UI home isn't there anymore?

I would do more testing but this is my daily driver so I don't wanna mess with it too much, but this is really annoying that it keeps defaulting to One UI home.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jbtx06:
I was having the same issue at first. What I did to fix it was set OneUI as default, exit the menu. Go back into that menu and then change back to Nova Launcher. Reboot. It took a couple of tries repeating the same process, but it eventually sticks. I haven't had any issues since.

Also, side note. The Samsung widgets that aren't transparent, first set them up in OneUI with the settings you want them at. Then when you go back Nova Launcher, remove the the original and readd them. There is only 1 widget that I can't get to go transparent, Reminders.
[General Topics] Leonnnnnn:
So I disabled the game booster and game launcher, also currently trying to disable the game optimization service but can't.

The phone is experiencing a fps drop at least every 10 seconds or so when I am playing pubgm on the lowest graphic setting.

Does anyone else have this issue? CPU usage was never 100%. (and gpu usage is always below 15%) In fact, it pretty much stays around 50% all the time, so I don't really have a clue why it is having a stutter/lag every now and then.

Also, there seems to be some sort of input lag. Not sure if that is related to the issue above.
[General Topics] It_ler:
Maybe other apps are running in the background. Try to close all other apps. Disable any energy saving option. Have you installed latest firmware updates?

S21 Ultra should be able to run without any lags.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] songoku1:
As some of you know s21 source is out, it is possible to build custom recovery and obtain root.

Actually ordinary magisk root method is not working for us: patched boot image does not boot...no old method is working.

I asked a skilled developer, @afaneh92 (he already made custom twrp for galaxy phones in past) to help us but at present he does not have the phone so what he builds is actually tested just by me.

WHAT WE NEED

- many alpha tester (if many people help us we can test things almost intanctaneily)

- some good ideas from other skilled developers

- someone who can make a "BOUNTY" so we can encourage development

I have made a telegram group forstarting this adventure and to share real time our progresses.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NEO130:
Do you think it`s possible the next Diamond come with card slot ? Or bigger Ram ? Or nothing ?

the "next" diamond is no diamond :p

its a completely different toy. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NEO130:
For me now is Diamond or not Diamond - That`s the question. :)

The Touch pro is to much expensive for me. And I Think I don`t need the tastatur.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WhiteCell:
if u dont need the keyboard....take diamond....

just look at the size of the pro
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NikPraskaton:
I personally dont need keyboard at all..

p.s. look at the size of pro!! OMG! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WhiteCell:
well...Pro has some other good features like

- TV-out (cable not included)

- microSD (TransFlash)

- Standard battery, Li-Ion 1340 mAh

- 288 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM

- flash

i think i can miss these other things...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NLS:
Photos can trick you, Pro is not big, it is just fatter (and for various GOOD reasons) than Diamond which is one of the thinnest PDA ever (again for a reason: call me, limitations).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=420739

(my post is on last page btw)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WhiteCell:
i know it's just thicker...about 8mm
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WhiteCell:
Only thing i really miss is TV-Out....

but i think guy's will make one rom that will support that too.

i hope so :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NLS:
WhiteCell you don't "miss" things you never had.

Bigger RAM, flash, microSD, real battery (to name some), are not things "ah I don't miss", they are just what they should be (and Diamond lacks).

One single reason that someone should choose a Diamond is that is thinner and size is #1 priority.

Please name me a single additional reason (like there is).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
"but i think guy's will make one rom that will support that too."

i doubt it's a software thing ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Peio64:
On expansys:

Diamond 474€

Touch Pro 654€, microSD card & tv-out cable not included

But even at the same price I'd pick the diamond over the pro
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NLS:
...because?

As for the price difference, expect it to change (as Diamond's price changed). When you talk about a hi-end PDA, you expect a hi-end price, and 654 is not even hi-end price, it is about the same price I got my LOOX720 years ago and about the same price I remember all serious WM cost over the years.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Peio64:
I agree with you :) , you just asked another reason and the price difference is one at the moment.

Personnally, I chose the size over the keyboard/memory/card, but of course it depends of the user's needs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NLS:
ok fair enough - so you agree with my first post too... if size is your #1, then Diamond (but only for that)

Feel The Sting!

Since we have no working TWRP for Android 11, we have to flash with our own custom recovery. In the download section below, you will find a boot image and the ROM zip. You need to download both and follow the install instructions.

Downloads

:

Coral

Installation

:

For First Time Install

, you must clean flash! Check the upload date, this will let you know which factory image you need to be on before flashing your device.

1) Plug the device into a PC and open a terminal

2) adb reboot bootloader

3) fastboot flash boot boot.img --slot all

4) fastboot reboot-bootloader

5) Using the device volume buttons, select Recovery Mode

6) Use the custom recovery to Factory reset the device

7) When it's done, select Apply update followed by Apply from ADB

(This will allow you to sideload the ROM zip)

8) adb sideload the_rom.zip

**** Terminal will sit at 47%,wait and watch the phone let the phone finish it will take few min

If you need help flashing come to support chat and ask like a Human....

# Example (using a Wildcard shortcut)
adb sideload S*.zip

9) Reboot system and Enjoy
