Hi Guys, I'm not new to modding but I have been out for a long time mainly because I had the bad idea of buying a Samsung Exynos device and didn't want to break the knoxx counter...

Now i own a pixel 4a and i'd like to install a custom kernel.

My questions are:

1. unlocking the bootloader will affect GPay?

2. if i install a custom kernel (the Blu one, I'm fond of the days of the nexus 5 😊), can i mod the vibration intensity without rooting the phone?

I prefer not use magisk to hide root, that's the reason of my questions.

thank you!🍻
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
Expect GPay to be impacted going forward as security can not be assured on an unlocked device. I believe vibration intensity is controlled at the ROM vs kernel level.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] kawadana:
ok thank you. so root is mandatory if I want to control kernel parameters via rom.

Now I have to decide ifunlock bootloader and find a solution for gpay or leave everything stock...

thanks 🙂

Oh okay , but I wanted know if secure folder have ability to hide notification content only and only outside secure folder , like it used to have in android 10. But with Android 11 update in my s20 , notification content of apps in secure folder can either be shown or completely hidden no matter if we are in secure folder or not.

Hi everyone

When I charge my phone (showing top right corner) it no longer shows "Charging" with an estimate on the time left on the bottom of my lock screen.

You can normally double tap this message to show the charging animation. When I double tap on the bottom, it does however show this.

In addition to this, I no longer have decimals when charging with the fast charger. It says Mi super charing, but it shows 84% instead of for example 84.32%

Anyone else having the same issues?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] donovank45:
To who it may concern. I factory resetted my phone yesterday and everything is back to normal now. I also have animations in my poco launcher which I didn't have before, so it might of been an issue with the poco launcher app. Hope it helps.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Gulzoa:
Hello there from where did you factory reset your phone ..was it through settings? And did you lost any of your data or anything after the reset?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] donovank45:
Hey, I resetted the phone using the boot menu (power + volume up).

It did cause my settings to be lost, but I backed up using the micloud and was supprised how well it restored my phone after the reset.

Alright man that's good yeah micloud is syncing on my device as well. Just let me know for feedback in reply to this thread if you face lagging or stuttering during scrolling after some days okay..

Hi, there's a way to uninstall programs resident in ROM? Acrobat Reader, TouchFlo, Messenger... Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
The only real way to do that is to build a (new) rom that doesn't include those programs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
thats why rom stand for "read only memory"

of cause the fact that roms can be written to at rom flash time

is somewhat misleading :P

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
In last working condition, my phone is the TMO branded device, converted to global 10.5.11 with Magisk and TWRP.

I decided to update to 10.5.12 via Local Upgrade, as I've done previously to update. The OOS update went fine but I encountered an issue when updating Magisk to 21.4. After attempting to install to inactive slot and reboot, my phone went into QualComm CrashDump mode. Attempting to boot into TWRP or the system resulted in being thrown back into CrashDump mode. I could still get to fastboot, so I booted TWRP from fastboot and was able to at least recover my device into a working state; albeit not how it should be working. I am currently on TMO ROM fresh from msm restore, 10.5.7.IN55CB, bootloader unlocked. Phone works, signal good, IMEI good, can receive texts, etc.

From that point on, no matter if I msm back to T-Mobile firmware, flash the Global fastboot ROM, factory reset, etc I'm getting an error I can't seem to find any hits on while searching.

"Unable to mount storage

E: Unable to open /system_root/system/apex

E: Unable to load apex images from system/apex"

I'm assuming I messed up my slot_b because prior to using the msm tool, if I tried to boot from slot_b it would send me to CrashDump mode while attempting to boot from slot_a directly after attempting slot_b would send me into stock recovery mode where I could do a factory reset and successfully boot into the system. After attempting a factory reset (and format data) via TWRP I then was being sent to CrashDump mode by trying to boot from either slot or trying to enter recovery mode. When first attempting to msm, holding vol+ and plugging device in would send phone to EDL mode where it would stay for a few seconds, then reboot into CrashDump Mode. I didn't think I was getting into EDL mode, but once it showed connected in the msm tool I quickly hit start and the restore process started.

While typing this, I tried to update magisk by installing to the inactive slot (which would be slot_b) and upon reboot I went straight to fastboot. I got the message included in the 2nd image attached.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Nathan.7118391:
Hi there. MSM back to stick. Funny ways your time logging in to Google it anything. Murray let the phone after up. Take the OTA to current firmware 10.5.23 I think. Then bootloader unlock and flash global. Happy modding!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
So taking the OTA on T-Mobile firmware is the part I'm missing? Because I've went back to stock with MSM, and I've took the OTA on global firmware (just not to 11.x) and problem persists
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Nathan.7118391:
Yup, I always take the TMO OTA then bootloader unlock and global flash. If not then try another global file. Happy modding!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
So I reverted back to TMO stock with msm tool, updated TMO firmware, unlocked BL, booted to fastbootd and ran the flashall.bat in 10.5.7 Global firmware... it all was going fine until it needed to reboot... it went to Qualcomm CrashDump mode... Slot B is buggered. I hold both vol buttons + power until it turns off, then do it again to enter bootloader mode. fastboot boot twrp.img and it takes me to twrp where I can toggle the boot slot back to a (I can't do fastboot set_active b from fastboot, it just throws up the fastboot help) and I can boot back into recovery.

The msm tool and global fastboot ROM I flashed is the same one I initially performed the conversion with when I first got the device. Even when on slot_a I am still getting the errors in the first picture I attached in OP; slot_b still gives me the errors posted in the 2nd picture.

edit:

I reverted with msm one more time, followed through the process to convert to global (minus taking the OTA first) and now it's flashing the global firmware. It successfully rebooted as it's supposed to do and it continued the install. On system.img, vendor.img, and product.img so far it has said "invalid sparse file format at header magic" then "resizing system_a" etc for all the partitions mentioned... but no, slot_b is still dead.

I see that the script flashes, say vendor.img but it says vendor_a... Can I manually do it through fastboot (or edit the flash all.bat) to flash to slot_b instead of a?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Nathan.7118391:
OP said sparse magic invalid is fine and won't hurt anything. If you are having trouble booting the phone then I suggest you wipe data. That's what's I had to do in order for it to work. Though the first few times I did it I didn't wipe any data and it worked just fine. I think OP said you can modify the script if you know what you're doing. Happy modding!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
When you say wipe data, do you mean how, like, when you use msm tool data gets wiped? Or maybe you mean how data gets wiped when you unlock bootloader? Perhaps you mean like the flashall.bat wipes data as well...

I'm almost certain it's slot_b, I just need to know how to repair slot_b

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] KnowThyPro:
Hi ,

I have an ASUS ROG2 and I'm experiencing quite a problem here , I would like to know if this can still be rescue or not? or maybe I'm missing some steps here. here's what I've done so far.

Before it got to this dilemma my phone is suffering from autoshutdown so i rooted my phone using magisk and applied the thermal mode by one of the OP here. everything is working fine , the phone is not shutting down until today. it suddenly restart before me and it is stuck in ROG Logo.

what I've done.

1) i flash the stock boot img for my firmware version 2009.49 using fastboot flash boot 2009.49stock.img both slot A & B then followed by fastboot reboot so it can boot to system but it is still stock at the ROG Logo

2) i downloaded a RAW Firmware of 2009.49 , put my phone into fastboot mode. i made sure it was detected by the PC using the command fastboot devices and surely it was. i execute the flashall_AFT.cmd and waited , after it finishes my phone reboots but still stuck at the ROG Logo and here's the problem.

I reboot my phone into bootloader , scroll to Recovery after pressing Power button to select it , it boots and stuck at the ROG Logo at this point i'm confused since i need to factory reset it. so i downloaded TWRP for ROG2 Android 10 the one i usually use then i tried to boot from it using fastboot boot twrp10.img , it only boots and stuck at the ROG Logo again

3) I tried to flash a firmware using EDL mode , everything went well without any errors and there's the success message in Xiaomiflashtool , i reboot the phone to recovery and it is still stuck in ROG Logo.

any guesses? I'm kinda lost here since both RAW and EDL are not working.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
You could try booting into TWRP 3.4.0-0 Q Unofficial by mauronofrio without flashing ( fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-I001D-Q-mauronofrio.img ) , then copy the zip over to root of internal storage, either 2009.49 or lastest 2012.65, from here. Be sure to check during flash which slot gets flashed first. Then repeat the process, booting twrp so that you can flash the other inactive slot. If you want to be sure you have changed slots, click on reboot in twrp and see which is active before flashing. Good luck

Hopefully flashing both slots successfully will do it. Let us know how you get on.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] KnowThyPro:
Hi Reg !

Thanks for replying , i think I'm using the official version of TWRP so I'll give this a try , i should overcome the obstacle of booting into TWRP..

I'll let you know the outcome.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Any news?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] KnowThyPro:
I used the TWRP you've linked. and i'm afraid that it is stuck on the rog logo again..

what i've done. ' fastboot boot twrpQ3400.img ' after i sent that command , the phone reboots and instead of going to twrp , it goes to rog logo and stuck there.

is there anyway i could check if there's partition? it feels like the phone has no partition that's why it is always going back to the rog logo.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Did you change the name of the twrp file? the fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-I001D-Q-mauronofrio.img cmd must have an identical name to the file, which as the original should be twrp-3.4.0-0-I001D-Q-mauronofrio.img

and just to be sure, you have the twrp img in fastboot folder, correct?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] KnowThyPro:
Yes i did rename it as twrpQ3400.img and yes also , it is in the same folder as my adb & fastboot folder enviroment.

i'll try a different approach maybe using QFIL? although i don't know where to start like finding the XML / Programmer or firehose..

any ideas?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Well i'm running out of ideas, never used QFIL so wouldn't know. since you cannot boot into twrp (i'm assuming you didn't relock bootloader? twrp won't work with locked bootloader), you could try this thread. be sure to use the supplied 1910.35 images as it tried and tested. read posts 1 and 2 at the very least, post 2 has useful steps

if successful, you'll then need to update 1910.64 before android 10 2004.60 to start with, then up to latest
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] KnowThyPro:
yes , i didn't lock my bootloader since i can still see the bootloader unlock message.. i'm also running low in ideas , for worst it is a bricked phone at best. i'll check the link.

thanks for helping. i'll still update this thread to maybe update u as well.

edit: i checked the link , i already did the xiaomi flash tool approach on the link.. everything was a success with no errors... maybe i shud give qpst tool a try? although i'm not familiar using it.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
did you remember to shut the phone down after successfully flashing, boot into recovery and wipe data, then reboot? as per the instructions...?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] KnowThyPro:
yes , ofcourse since the phone is in EDL mode the only way to shut it down is by using Power + volume up + volume down like around 15 seconds then phone will shutdown since the 9008 COM in device manager will be gone this means that it's no longer in EDL mode. i wait like 1minute before i power it up to recovery by power + volume down then scroll to recovery in bootloader. then with no luck still stuck to Rog logo..

it's like the recovery partition is gone...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
I've been googling for you dude but no joy yet.... will have another look tomorrow
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] KnowThyPro:
Thanks man , i'm searching for the qfil approach but i'm getting a sahara error. currently searching for fixes

edit : i manage to boot the phone using the link you've provided by using QFIL approach and not thru XiaomiFlashTool

the phone boots successfully and i can use the recovery again ! although there's a problem , it can't read my sim card :eek: and everything is like stock android without any skins or what.. i used the RAW firmware to update it but the problem with stuck logo is back :/

gonna re-flash using QFIL and i'll check some more ~ maybe use TWRP and flash the firmware there no?

edit: the one from the link is not working , stuck at rog logo.. but the one from the internet i was able to boot to system but can't detect simcard , also when plugging to PC it will go to crashdump mode.

also can't flash TWRP will result in stuck at ROG logo :/
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] KnowThyPro:
was able to boot the phone but can't connect to wifi and is locked by google frp :/ any guides i can follow to remove that FRP without wifi connection ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Sorry bud, really not sure what's going on with your phone or know much more. Good luck with it tho
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Actually, if you now have recovery, what about booting into twrp and flashing lastest 2012.65 zip from asus website, twice - both slots. see if that fixes your wifi issue

As you said using the QFIL approach worked to boot into system and recovery is back - boot to twrp from that state

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Flocki+:
Hi, i am in similar situation. could you provide some steps or links or even better a video(no pressure haha ) to help the less experienced people. i dont want to give up on my phone
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
well i hate to leave someone with no idea what to do next, so i'll attempt to help... note the word attempt - i no longer own the device and haven't for years - so my memory of what to do is vague at best.

assuming no-one else offers assistance for your old device, i'll try and help you with my vague memory and limited experience...

Some questions though;

1. What are you exact symptoms - what is the phone doing, not doing, what have you tried so far etc etc...

2. Do you know which exact rom version you were running before you ran into issues - i'm assuming it was a stock rom?

3. Can you boot into recovery or bootloader and does your pc/laptop recognise it?

4. Have you re-locked your bootloader at some point?

5. Have you done anything to phone before now, ie unlock bootloader, flash stock or custom roms etc?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Flocki+:
Thank you so much for your time, i will try my best to answer your questions.

1- i have tried many different ways just like you did and ended up with ROG logo/boot loop

- When i am in bootloader i have minimum options (power off, recovery mode, restart bootloader, start) i must add when i enter recovery mode it jumps straight back to ROG logo/bootloop, however sometimes i receive a screen that reads the following - AVB VERIFY FAIL - error verifying image. - Battery voltage - 4143 - Dungle Unlock - locked - DEVICE STATE - locked

- the latest thing I did was the QPST/images flash with MiFlash and it goes all the way to status success. however it returns to ROG Logo/bootloop

2- I do not know the exact rom version or exact firmware all I know it was WW version. i sent my phone in for a basic back screen replacement from a non asus store and it came back in the bootloop. i did not enable USB debugging or entered developer mode. i did not even lock out of my google account. i am not sure if that information is relevant? it was supposed to be a simple back screen replacement.

3- i can access bootloader with minimal options (see number 1) my laptop recognises it in bootloader mode and when i enter EDL mode the MiFlash recognises it as Com30.

4- I think the bootloader is locked, i tried unlocking it with CMD and respond was

fastboot getvar unlocked

unlocked: no

fastboot flashing unlock

FAILED (remote: permission denied)

is there an alternative way to unlock the bootloader?

5- i havent tried rooting the phone (or maybe i have) is it the same as flashing a .raw file? i have flashed several WW firmware en even flashed a CN version and also didnt work. i can see the ROG logo changing from Elite gaming to dtsX ultra so i know that the flashing has worked but still stuck in ROG Logo/bootloop.

I know this is a mouthful and i appreciate your time. if you need screenshots or photos i am happy to provide them. i have moved on to the ROG6 phone but still want to fix my old device.

edit= i tried the fastboot -w command and got this message

fastboot -w

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Well dude i just spent that past 45 mins refreshing my memory of this device, reading various threads etc...

Don't think i'll be able to offer any more help, very sorry dude;

There was a way to unlock bootloader using EDL mode, but that requires USB debugging option on in Developer settings - which you say you haven't enabled.

Also, for sure i wouldn't recommend you flash anything other than WW roms, as your bootloader is locked it could brick your device even further - if that's possible at this stage.

ADB cmd's won't work as USB debugging isn't enabled

Fasboot flashing, as you have found, won't work due to locked BL

this thread has useful files, such as RAW and stock BL img, but again, without ADB/fastboot i'm out of options for you to flash the boot img.

It seems that somehow the backscreen replacemen has triggered the system into thinking it has been tinkered with - although i've no idea why this would be from a straight rear replacement, unless they did indeed do something to the sys... AVB VERIFY FAIL says that something has been tinkered with, that something isn't right and is preventing system boot, but like i say, i've no idea how to flash stock boot here without any option/means to do so.

Sorry bud, the above couple with the fact i no longer have the device, i don't know what else to suggest.

best of luck to you tho
