My universal was upgraded from tomal (ranju) 7.7 rom to the 8.2 and now im stuck on the boot screen and cannot go to bootloader mode because my power button is broken, so now what? im assuming im screw'd. right?.. anyone?

Also, what is kitl mode? can that help me?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Doh, got it all wrong. Try http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader but I had success just getting the PC recognizing the device and re-flashing the ROM. The bootloader screen appeared at some point during the flash.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jxs714:
Thanks for the reply. The problem is that i cannot connect to activesync because my universal is stuck on the screen where it shows you the rom and radio. I can use my memory stick to load any files via my sd card port on my laptop but i cannot connect my uni to activesync since its stuck on the splash screen. If i need a specific file to boot my uni straight to bootloader boot when the phone boots up via the sd card i can do that. Any suggestions?

-UPDATE- Oh wow once i got back to the reply i saw your correction...lolz. ill try that.. thanks X-D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Ok, try hard resetting or a soft reset first. Well, you probably already tried, but nevertheless... DON'T PANIC!

How broken is your power button?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jxs714:
oh its broken...off the motherboard need to be soldered broken.lolz.. i tried the method you said and it doesnt work =-(.. Is there any file for windows mobile that you can put on the external memory card such as the sd for the uni so that it can force the phone to bootloader as soon as the phone boots?

-Edit: it seems like the only way i can fix this problem is if someone backs up their rom to their memory stick and sends it to me some sort of way so that i can put it on my memory stick and do tomals sd upgrade and hope that it re-updates it.. =-(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
The only file you can use is called Enter Bootloader, it comes with a standard ROM upgrade folder, I recommended it at first, but then realized you won't be able to access it from your Uni, seeing you are stuck. There is a ROM upgrade from SD thread somewhere, it can be done, but not if you are stuck, it's for the broken USB ports.

mtty?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jxs714:
Mtty no good because it doesnt pick up the phone via usb

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] EngineerMind:
I am coming from a Samsung S4 running A5.0.1 which long ago had no more OTA updates.

I just got a new Pixel 4a that came with A11, but I am going to downgrade it to A10 so I can use EdXposed, XprivacyLUA, TWRP, etc., which only fully work in A10.

I want to stay on A10 so those apps will continue to work. But I am concerned about two things:

1) Regular (security?) updates

2) OS updates (A10 -> A11)

Question #1:

If I have a custom boot image (but stock A10 google main OS+radio image) and have Magisk, etc. installed, will it be ok to accept/install #1 type updates (security/OS patches) or will it mess things up like the boot image? If I should not install any updates, then how can I prevent my phone from downloading/installing those updates?

Question #2:

How can I prevent my phone from downloading and auto-updating to A11 (complete OS update)?

Thank you for your advise/help :)
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] BiR00T:
Hello,

I'm on Joyeuse device with MIUI V12.0.1.0.QJZEUXM.

Twrp used: TWRP 3.5.0_10-0 for Joyeuse build by dungphp

Rooted with magisk.

I get few weeks ago OTA update for MIUI V12.0.2.0.QJZEUXM, downloaded it to /sdcard/downloaded_rom, when I try to install it through MIUI settings, my device reboot to TWRP, I put my pattern to decrypt datas and I get "Error installing zip file '@/cache/recovery/block.map".

So, how can I install this update ?

Can I go in TWRP, and flash this zip ?

I don't want to reinstall all of my apps if this process broke official rom.

Thanks for your help.

Did OP change the way active quick titles look on the Jan update? This looks like garbage and i could of sworn they weren't white before.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
If you want to try these, you are more than welcome. These Magisk modules were made to get rid of the pale colors and replace them with more basic colors. And you can pick to either leave the icon colors stock or pick white or black (regardless of light-dark theme). I don't have this phone but these work on my Pixel.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Trekstaaf:
Hi All,

Does any one else experience the S21 Ultra getting really hot (47celcius and going up where normal is 27 / 28 celcius steady).

i also noticed that this is only happening as soon as i open google photos for the first time and do the setup.

inmediately after the temperature is getting high and higher.

The the only way to stop this from gettin hotter (beyond 50 degrees celcius) is to force a full stop and remove the cash data from the app

(or deinstall the app).

Only then the temperature will lower itself again slowly to 27 celcius.

There is nothing to backup yet (no new photos) on my phone to google photos online so that is not the problem

There was an update @ 8 februari 2021 on google photos, i think this is what it started (the bug ?)

Reason i say this is because i got my phone on 29 January and between this date and 7 February i did not have this problem.

Does anyone experience the same thing ?

Regards

Trek

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
How new is your phone?

I got mine about five days ago (granted, it's the SD888 variant) and have been using 1440p mode (which the user has to manually enable) and 120hz. When in that mode initially, my phone was getting pretty hot for the first 3-4 days (just warm, but it's winter lol - so it'd be really freaking hot in the summer). Last night and today, however, my phone hasn't gotten nearly as warm as it had been previously... So if your phone is still brand new, there's a good chance that it'll stop getting as hot in a few days. But maybe I just got really lucky...?

Good luck with your S21U!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] himatech:
Dear all,

I dumped the ROM version of Egypt that is not equipped with the GPS support. I didn't test it and I wonder if someone can test it on his device.

This ROM can be used to return back to the original ROM provided by HTC Egypt.

It is almost official because the only modified value in the registry is the following:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies

valuename '00001001' was set to dword:1, change it to dword:2

Egypt ROM: Egypt-No-GPS-ROM.rar
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
Can you tell me more about this ROM?

What OS / build is it?

ROM date, etc?

Thanks,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] fireblade63:
AFAIK, old..

WM6

1.56.405.5

22.45.88.07

1.27.12.11

Arabic enabled

HTC TyTN II branded devices in Egypt are not allowed to have enabled GPS although it has the H/W..Forbidden there

I think he wants to flash another ROM and needs someone reassuring that the ROM he dumped is flashable prior his flash

Did you get your Touch Pro yet??:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] himatech:
Exactly! I would like to flash another ROM and to keep it on the forum as a reference for those who want to revert back to the original ROM of Egypt.

I think it worked with you, correct?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xmoo:
This is old news. The Egypt roms have never had GPS....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] fireblade63:
Actually, I didn't try it.

Just happened to have passed by it long back when the GPS-Egypt issue was brought up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] d4rkst4r74:
This is pertaining to a serious ongoing security issue. Yesterday, while performing my Daily Hard Factory Reset on my Windows 10 Laptop due to continuous unauthorized modifications to PC,including Driver changes, warnings of 3rd party traffic monitoring, frequent service failure,, visual changes to applications GUI without Authorized warning or consent to upgrade said program,applications,services, etc.. More detailed information available in needed. I used a PC for explanation because my Note 20 and several past Android devices mirror above issues. My question is finally: Can a legitimately acquired Development Code Signing Certificate (SSL,Digicert etc) be used in a malicious way to trick OS, Device, End User and Security Software into allowing very dangerous changes? These ATTACKS seem to allow System Compromise to basically be totally Invisible to device and user owner. I believe this tactic if in anyway plausible is being used to cause devastating damage financially, emotionally and all the above. I need to prevent and deture future issues.

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Monfro:
Hello everybody,

I am currently using a Pixel 4XL, which is still in perfect shape.

It is a great phone and i am loving it, however there are a few things that are starting to get annoying, mainly:

- face unlock is great, but we are wearing masks all the day out of home (and i think we will have to for many months)...so it is a pain to unlock the phone: i wish I had a fingerprint scanner like my previous Pixel 3a xl.

- battery life is quite terrible...i cannot use 90hz screen if i want some sort of decent battery life...seems like Pixel 4a xl is great for battery life.

- design and weight: Pixel 4 XL really weights more than 3a xl (and so 4a 5g). Pixel 4a 5g has the same screen real estate but is more compact.

- 64gb vs 128gb

Aspects that make me worry about the switch:

- i love taking a great amount of fast point and shoot pictures; i fear that Pixel 4a 5g will be considerably slower in processing many pictures taken in few seconds, since it has a slower processor and no dedicated core.

- screen quality: i think that Pixel 4a 5g has a great brightness level, but i don't know if screen quality can be a problem coming from 4 XL (4k vs fullhd). pixel 3a xl had a bad panel, it was one the main reason that forced me to change phone.

Someone here switched to Pixel 4 XL to Pixel 4a 5g?

I look forward to some opinions, thank You all!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabban:
Hi . I switched from 4xl to pixel 5 . Had it One Day. Misssed out faceunlock. Bigger Side. Better speakers. Better screen.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Monfro:
Thank you for your feedback.

When i am out of home face unlock makes me mad, because i have to wear a mask, but it is indeed a great feature (if Google would have decided to have also a fingerprint scanner on the back the phone would have been perfect).

My fear is to miss screen quality (4k, unfortunately most of the time 90hz is disabled to save battery) and processor performance, especially in elaborating pictures since the dedicated core is missing in 4a 5g and 5.

I received a 4A 5G from Google for participating in special Pixel event just before the phone launched. It's a nice phone and if I didn't have my 4XL I would be "okay" with it. I used it for a day or two and put my sim back in my 4XL. It's just a half step back in my opinion, haptic motor, screen, speakers, speed, just overall a compromise. I love that Google does an affordable phone but they need to drop a real specced out phone in 2021....PLEASE

i am posting in regards to any if not all information regarding the mediatek powered velvet.

the reason for this post is to see where or how we can approach finding a root solution. i by no means am a developer that can guarantee anything but experimentation.

now, knowing this is a mediatek 1000c

-can we use mediatek root solutions that are provided here on xda for current mediatek soc?

-would download mode also be present/exploitable? (like past models)

-due to this being a tmobile variant expect that we cannot crossflash due to different soc/rsa keys

ill be receiving my device tomorrow to tinker with as soon as i get it. ive been around the lg scene since the v10/g2 days and helped out the v30(h932) community by loaning my device to a real developer in the lg scene, runningnak3d. ill be researching and asking around for tips.

any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Update 1: oem unlock available out of the box, phone needs to be paid off until the bootloader is allowed to be unlocked properly.

Update 2: fastbootd is accessible through adb command, also this has a somewhat close to stock android recovery only accessible through fastbootd screen(havent tried adb command for recovery yet). choosing bootloader returns you to system. Download mode is the usual volume up and plug in the usb. No DLL extracted yet to do a file DUMP.

For instance, if I want to install an unofficial rom, do the security updates will come thanks to the dev of the rom or LineageOS ?

There are several components. LineageOS contains proprietary components from device manufacturer. Its dev's job to include latest "blobs". Also the kernel is most probably home brewn by your dev. All other components come upstream from lineageOS and get their security patches there each month. Dev has just to synch.

So, I have run into a few roadblocks on my quest to get GMS working on my brand new P40 Pro.

Roadblock #1:

Although I am able to download the firmware from pro-teammt as suggested, I am unable to extract the package on to my device. After a little bit of research, I believe Huawei blocks the extraction of "update.app". I could be wrong. But this is where im having issues.

I do not have a card reader so I am currently unable to try this way.

I have tried downloading a third party extractor, no beans.

Roadblock #2

The HiSuite it installs on my phone is incompatible with this device, I have researched and have come up empty on how to resolve this. Which means I am officially stuck.
