I am in a similar situation.

I install YouTube vanced and WhatsApp Plus

in the latter case something deleted my entire data without asking me -I suspect it was clean master and my vanced applications were uninstalled all of a sudden.

I seem to know what cause that com.miui. securitycenter if you disable it it will boot loop if you to change and restrict access to various permissions then phone functionality is upset

I took out a separate thread on that here on xda Google com.miui. securitycenter draconian legitimate spyware from redmi

there is a thread on XDA I use havoc ~ two years or so but because it does not support VoLTE and trying to enable that has been in vain I am forced to come back to China ROM.

Did you install any apps after flashing ROMs / gapps?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The malicious jpegs may be capable of doing that. I've had one the damages files in a folder but not files in folders, in the download folder.

It was confined to that folder unless one was to move it...

The trigger was viewing the jpeg.

They cure; simply delete it and repair or delete the damage files.

There are both Android and Windows variants of these. I've had a Windows variant too. Zero or minimum damage but only because I ID both quickly.

actually step back a little how do you conclude it's your phone that is affected you say he has access to our accounts and password maybe e is connecting on your Wi-Fi network IP address is the same and then trying to tinker with your accounts. what specifically makes you think that your phone is hacked as against something else

I have more than 30,000 from photographs and especially WhatsApp

how do I scan for malicious code in JPG is there a specific tool anti malware that has that capacity to go through JPG hexdump and then fish out 👹
[Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Jeeeesze, downloads from WhatsApp?

That's a great way to pick up creepy crawlers.

WhatsApp, FB, Instagram don't get on my devices. Ever.

They ruin lives, careers and more... they are spyware and malware by their very nature.

I never have had anything detect these little buggers, I'm not saying there aren't detectable, but don't count on it. The two I found I didn't even consider keeping them for analysis.

They wasted enough of my time as it was. Finding them in an ocean of jpegs could be problematic.

Rule #1, all downloads go to the download folder.

Choose what goes into your database after observation and at least scan it with Malwarebytes. Online Virustotal for any download remotely suspicious. Open jpegs at least once in the download folder and be aware of anything unusual afterwards... that may be the only clue you get.

If you really think one of these images has a malicious script, you need to isolate it. Scan with Malwarebytes and whatever else you want.

Try reloading, confirm the device is still clean then load the suspect database.

Problem being the trigger is opening the jpeg or some other related action to it like deleting the email it was associated with in Windows Outlook. If you get nailed again, reload and break/import your database in groups. You can see where this is going... it may take a while.

I've seen what they can do, I avoid downloading clickbait pics from untrusted sites, people and emails (email is kept in the cloud ie gmail).

My backups are also from different time periods on hdds completely isolated from each other and the PC. I could lose some of my database but not all of my it. With over 1 tb of data I'm not playing around.

The second and last(?) malicious jpeg I ran into was on Android about 1.5 years ago.
[General Questions and Answers] blackfire74:
Hello, does anyone have already unpacked system packages (system apps) for Galaxy T875 , firmware version T875XXU1ATK4 XEO? I was playing with new tablet via ADB to get rid of crap and I want few things back.

Maybe someone know what package name has something what puts information banner in settings menu, first screen, saying there is a firmware update available? Still can't get rid of it, although I deleted all update packages.

As for first question, if someone does have those packages unpacked to single *.apk files on some cloud drive, I will appreciate.

Last question: if I have all installed apps configured to my preferences and now I get full firmware downloaded and will try to flash it via Odin will I loose all settings like after typical factory reset, or all will remain unchanged, just missing system files will be restored?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] lee_d:
Hello anyone. I normally lurk until I can lurk no more, but I'm struggling. I've tried to install every rom I could find, and can't seem to get any to boot. Everything either fails on crashdump during flash (repeatedly), or reboots right back into the fastboot/bootloader menu. I've had to MSM repeatedly, and even that kept failing until I realized I had the wrong version because there is one for Visible specifically (even though Visible and Global are both IN2015).

Main point: Is anybody else using the Visible variant of the Oneplus 8 and able to change roms? I despise stock roms with a passion and don't even want to start the setup process if I can get onto a custom rom instead. So if anybody has advice, I'd certainly take it, but I'm really just asking for the sake of seeing if there's anybody else that has succeeded. If so, I can go off and figure out where I keep screwing it up.

Thanks in advance! :)

Edit: I'm throwing in the towel. I feel like I've tried everything. Even when it looks like the ROM does finally successfully install, I just get stuck in an infinite "fastboot loop". If there's another Visible OP8 user that has managed to get a custom rom installed, please let me know!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] ANDROIDRAZRM:
Are you sure the Visible Oneplus is the IN2015? I'm fairly certain they are just using the Verizon 5G UW, which should be an IN2017. I doubt that Verizon or its mvnos are selling true dual sim phones (with dual imeis) even if its firmware locked.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] lee_d:
Yeah, I'm fairly certain. It's definitely NOT dual SIM though, but the back is branded "ONEPLUS" (as opposed to "5G") and the volume buttons are higher than the ones that are moved down physically to accommodate for the mm antenna in the Verizon branded device.

The sticker on the back says IN2015, it shows up on Windows and Linux as IN2015. All of these bread crumbs lead me to believe it is a IN2015, except that no guides or outlines that I've followed for the IN2015 have worked, with the sole exception of using the MSM tool explicitly including the Visible firmware. That's what makes me think they have some slightly modified version of the IN2015 global, but haven't been able to track down specifics.

Thanks for the reply though! If there's any other information I can provide that may be helpful, I'll gladly oblige!

Edit: Attached image of the back sticker
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] stompysan:
Thought I would chime in. Visible's network is very different than you typically would expect. Even if you could flash ROMs, the likelihood of it working with Visible's network is nearly impossible. I was using a Pixel 3a XL when I had Visible. If I tried anything other than stock, it refused to connect. Heavy testing from various devs, and we never could figure out why. Ultimately gave up on it. The lack of ROM support on Visible is why I have T-Mobile now.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] lee_d:
We (me and the wife) actually tried out T-mobile via their "Hotspot test drive" program and it just couldn't keep up with some of the "boonies" areas we frequent, so we opted for "big red" but with a cheaper access.

That's actually very helpful, because I was just thinking today that maybe I should have gotten a Pixel like the wife did. I'd be pretty disappointed to find the ROM installed but couldn't get connected (which would inevitably launch me down a wild goose chase of TWRPing modems and the like).

Both replies have been very helpful. Thank you for chiming in!

Edit: On a side note though, if there are any developers looking for a challenge and want to take on the mysterious world of Visible-compatible ROMs, you'd have at least one willing beta participant. 😅
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] lee_d:
@stompysan How long ago were you trying custom roms with Visible? Apparently it was an issue at one point but has since been corrected? At least, that's what I gather from the discussion here.

Not that I'm trying to "gotcha," of course, but was just curious if you were on T-mobile for the past 12ish months and the problem has been corrected since you were playing with it before.

Edit: I've also dug up that it's becoming increasingly known/confirmed that Visible is rolling around with their own version of the Oneplus 8. Sort of like a hybrid between the global model IN2015, and their own build of it, as denoted by the IN68CE in the "build" section of About info.

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] deepu458:
Hi I am trying to buy Oneplus 8 from Visible but doesn't intend to use it on Visible network infact i intened to use it on Tmobile network. So i was thinking of buying it from visible and flash Global Oxygen OS A11 on it and root. Use this on Tmobile network. Will this work?I mean can i flash Global Oxygen OS on it or does this had any different version similar to Tmobile branded phone.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] RileyOsno:
As far as I know, nope. You can root and it should connect to tmobile, but the Visible model seems to be stuck running their modified version which is on a dated version of Android 10.

Hi,

Did anyone experience some issue in the OTA upgrade to V12.0.3.0.QFQEUXM?

Now, at the first reboot after the upgrade, my touch doesn't work anymore and to unlock I used an external mouse.

I thought the V12.0.3.0.QFQEUXM was one of the "safe" roms without the bricking bug... But still, the touch not working isn't exactly good :D

Did you overcome this issue?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Bysholo:

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] mr-mauro:
I brought the phone to Xiaomi repair centre and... They're scamming me!

They don't give me back the phone if I don't pay 20€ or if I don't pay 80€ to repair the back camera glass that has a small crack (for 6 months). They don't either check the issue if before I don't pay WTF!!!

And, official Xiaomi support via email agrees that, before checking the phone, I have to repair at my expense any scratch!!! And that they don't know about any issue on the Mi A3 FW!!! As if the dozens of wrong firmware of the latest year never existed!!! I'm speechless!!!
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Bysholo:
Sorry I couldn't respond earlier. No, I meant that you can use the mouse to get to the Options menu and install the OTA update directly from the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] mr-mauro:
That' is the only hope! :)

P.S. Here in Italy Xiaomy doesn't repair your phone really for free! If you have some scratches on the back a small sign on the camera glass, etc... They pretend that you pay them to fix the visual glitches and then they will repair your phone for the s**t they did!

So, they release public statements that they will fix the issue, and then in reality they scam you...
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] rain_effect:
Sorry to hear that. I have same problem, touch not working after update to A11, bricked after downgrade to 10. Then i bring to service center, they fix it for free, even with unlocked bootloader (I'm living in Vietnam).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] mr-mauro:
Unfortunately, at least here in Italy, Xiaomi seems a very unprofessional company (to not say something worst)!

They are not fixing it, they pretend money to before repair and replace unrequested component that have scratches, before even trying to fix the s*it they did.

For my point of view, I wouldn't anymore suggest to anyone to buy them. Because, if then this is the service you get, you save more money with any other brand that has a professional after sale support.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] mr-mauro:
I got back my phone, I had to pay for it because they weren't fixing it for free, despite it was a problem caused by them (that's a joke Xiaomi)!

However, I received a new fw and with a mouse connected via OTA I installed it and, now touch works... But still, WTF Xiaomi, you create a global issue and then you spill money from clients? I got rid of the phone now and my next phone this year won't be a Xiaomi

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] wetito:
I have a question: if a rom is buggy, is buggy FOR ALL USERS. But if some user (like me) don't have any bug... Problably is not a xiaomi issue. It's a user issue that don't have the skills to apply an ota update without mistakes. For example first a11 killer ota bricked all phones. But 12.0.3.0 that i have installed two months ago...have touchscreen working perfectly. So Good luck with yours futures Samsung... But if you don't be able to update a phone, don't incolpe xiaomi.

I have everything set up and working as I want it to but (besides the known bugs) one big issue still remains.

I receive zero input trough my Joy-Cons even though they both are connected.

via Bluetooth.

I described all I tried in order to fix them below, hope that I'm not the only one who has this and maybe that someone know a way to fix this?

-I paired both of them using the pair buttons on the side of the Joy-Cons

-I flashed the fix-joycons.zip with System mounted in TWRP multiple times

-I checked for input with 'Gamepad Tester' but it registered no button pressed, although I did see the joycons under the connected devices section of the app

-I tried the 'Joy-Con Enabler' app but that didn't help me either

-I tried remapping the keys with 'Key Mapper' but it doesn't register the button press so that didn't help either

-I checked in '/system/usr/keylayout' and the 'Vendor_057e_Product_200(6/7/9)_Version_0001.kl' files are there with 644 as the permissions

-I also installed the '1controller' Magisk module and the 'DS4Adapter' EdXposed module (but those aren't for joy-cons but maybe worth mentioning)
