[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] Hansaplast31:
The sole purpose of buying an Android phone for me was to degoogle it. (Unfortunately you cannot de-apple an iPhone). What I feel about the Motorola Edge? its a phone and it works, its a premium feel phone, but it isn't an iPhone (sorry imho iPhones have been and always will be the better, more complete phone). To achieve having a degoogled phone: I gave up on going down the road of loading a GSI and missing all kinds of proprietary/custom features of the devices. Instead I went back to de stock rom and degoogled and debloated it. I am happy now to run microG, Aurora Play Store and other things to spoof my identity / location / contact tracing. And I am happy to feel that I am not playing the game of big tech anymore. For as long that its possible.
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] crixley:
lol yes. Still for some reason failing. I wonder if it is the version of adb I'm using or the GSIs themselves?
[Motorola Edge + (2020) Questions & Answers] crixley:
Got it! I needed a newer fastboot version. Running like a charm now

Could you possibly let us know what gsi you used and what files you flashed to make your device function? Also a step by step?

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] An Droid:
Anyone have the Google Play system update on Dec. 2020 on their 5G?

I've been able to get the update, install and reboot. However, after reboot the phone reboots itself again after a minute or so and reverts back to the Oct. 2020 update.

Anyone else?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] An Droid:
No one?

January update doesn't stick either..
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] vrman:
I have this issue also. Mine will update but revert back to the Feb 2020 version after about 1-2 minutes.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] An Droid:
Thanks for the response.

It had been working fine for me until the latest system update (NA v.8.11).

In any case, I've been able to overcome it by sideloading the .apk(s). I installed the Dec. 2020 .apk and then tried to auto update to Jan. 2021 - same issue, but it would revert back to the Dec. 2020 update instead. Sideloaded the Jan. 2021 update as well and all is fine - now to see what happens when the Feb. update releases (or if we get a system update before then).

If you want to sideloaded the .apk as well, check this XDA thread. (although this .apk might only be changing the date displayed. ☹️ ).
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] vrman:
Good info, Thank you. I'll side load if the next update doesn't resolve it or we go into March without an update.

Just for reference, my RM5G was purchased as a new EU model. I let it go thru 2/3 EU updates until it was ready for EU V714(Latest) and then downloaded and flashed it to NA V811(Latest) instead. Since I updated with a clean device, no setup or account sign-ins until V811, looks the the Google play system version never updated past that initial shipped version (Feb 2020) and as you said V811 probably broke it.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] An Droid:
I don't know if the Google Play system update is included as part of the rom - from your experience, it doesn't sound like it.

I unzipped the .apk and didn't see any significant content in it - I think it is only updating the date displayed without providing any of the actual update content. Furthermore, it can't be uninstalled or rolled back, so I no longer recommend using it.

Wait and see for now for me...
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] vrman:
My RM 5G did update today to the January 1st 2021 version and has yet to reboot or default back. Maybe they got it sorted.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] An Droid:
Good to hear - did you get/install the latest rom update first (v.8.12 or v.7.15)?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] vrman:
No update yet, I am still on v8.11
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] vrman:
Okay, my phone updated to v8.12. After the SW update it reverted back to the February 2020 Play System version within about 5min. I manually updated to January 2021 version after about 4hrs and it has stayed for >24hrs.

We'll see how it goes.

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] An Droid:
Mine is currently stuck on always wanting to restart after checking for updates - even after restarting. :(

It had updated to the Feb. 2021 patch, but again rebooted on its own and reverted back to Jan. 2021... Since then stuck on the restart prompt.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] vrman:
Mine is also not consistent. It'll stay updated on Feb 2021 version for random day(s) up to a ~week and then just reboot and revert back to Feb 2020 version. I am tracking app updates to see if something triggers it.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] An Droid:
Just got a Play Store update (tap on the version number in the Play Store settings) and was able to download/install the Feb. 2021 update and reboot. Rebooted again for good measure and sticking so far...

So I have 3 Razer Phone 2's here I got on an amazing deal through work. I knew they were broken, and wanted to see if I could fix them. They all have the same issue, they restart as soon as you plugin any USB-C cable to charge them, then they just bootloop the initial startup screen.

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] dead0:
hi guys,

just wondering if anyone have been able to create or run any magisk modules on android 11 that involves modifying the vendor partition? ive created an audio module to install some additional/replacement libs which under A10 was no issue but when trying to install in A11 (crdroid/poco f2 pro), it seems to break headphone audio as sound only comes from the speaker when headphones plugged in. from what ive narrowed down, it seems to be the vendor partition that causes the issue as if files are installed to the system partition then no issues.

nvm managed to sort, seems it was a few libs causing the issue
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] tomaszbe71:
So basicly I came back home after work and decided to clean my POCO X3 under the shower (bc it's more effective than just wiping the dust off) and now my camera lens is foggy. That didn't happen before, I've done that few times, so I'm surprised. Anyway, will the seller reject my exchange request or not? Will the warranty cover that case of damage?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Matteogamer79:
hi, the warranty is void, but if you purchased this on amazon within 30 days you can try returning it and then buying it again, otherwise you can try to use a hair dryer and you could maybe be able to fix temporarily the problem
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Alrich:
First of all you need to understand the limitations of IP53 and what they exactly mean. The IP53 rating means dust can (and will) get into your phone and it won't affect the performance of the phone. The second part of the rating means that your phone is protected against "accidental" splashes at the phone held at 60° angle at the time of the splash.

No part of this rating involves continuous exposure to falling water. It also does not cover water falling at any angles beyond or below 60° angle.

For you to treat this phone as "waterproof" even though it has the lowest of the ingress protection rating... Is purely wrong on your part. No phone is truly water "proof", they are all "resistant" even the higher ratings. Which means taking ANY phone, this one or any ones of higher IP rating into a shower is a bad idea.

Your warranty is definitely void and the stickers inside the phone will also be red. You can use blow driers and whatever but condensation is usually trapped in a phone once it gets in. It might disappear for a while but it will show up again when the temperature equalizes. Your best bet is open your phone, use isopropyl alcohol and gentle heat to dry the phone and clean the oxidation at the copper contacts.

Or as someone else said. Trick your supplier into buying a damaged piece but that's also unethical. You're cheating someone else into getting a bad phone because you did something stupid with it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] tomaszbe71:
Well thank you for concrete response. According to tricking the seller, I often saw situations where the phone wasn't damaged by the customer on purpose, the device literally had some fabric issues and their repair was rejected so it's nothing new that you have to cheat to get your phone exchanged. Anyway, I didn't open the phone yet. Camera lens cleaned "itself". Trying with hair dryer didn't help, I wanted to open it but had no time, the phone still works fine and I think I won't have to open it yet. I know using the device like that is dangerous but my phone was under the shower for like 10 seconds and I avoided to make contact with the USB C port and headphone jack so I think the only way water could get in was the camera lens itself. If my POCO will screw up later, I'll just try to repair it or buy a new phone. In the conclusion, yeah, I won't get any IP rated phone (no matter how high that rating is) into the water on purpose. Thank you for your advice
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FourSilver:
Thanks for posting! Request including steps for disabling AVB as it is required on preventing bootloops on the Atom XL:

Download 'vbmeta.img' from the latest release (link provided further down).

Connect your phone to your PC and open a terminal or a command line window.

Run `adb reboot bootloader` on your PC to put your device in bootloader mode.

Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta vbmeta.img`.

Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta_system vbmeta.img`.

Run `fastboot flash --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta_vendor vbmeta.img`.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
Thanks for the Info, but currently on TWRP I don't get a VBMETA file built.

I would have to use the one from LineageOS and I don't know how well this works later on other ROMs. I plan to get AVB setup without the need of "disableing" it.

So I will have to consider if I include it in the "official" installation guide. For now your hint is as good (being the first and so on).

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] adam.jus:
Hey!

Yesterday I've stumbled upon a very serious (to me) problem, to which I cannot find any solution anywhere - I guess nobody so far reported anything like that.

My phone went out of battery (discharged to 0% and turned off, it was when I really could not plug it to charging).

When I connected it to charging, there was no reaction apart from the red light at the top of the frame, indicating that the phone is charging, but has low battery.

Apart from that, the phone looks like it is dead. It does not respond to anything - cannot be turned on nor enter the recovery/fastboot mode. The screen simply remains black, while the diode located in the pop-up camera lights red. As soon as I disconnect the phone, the red light goes off too.

I've had exactly the same problem once in the past, but then it came back to normal after 2-3 hours of charging with the red light on. Then the light became yellow, indicating the battery is "normal" and the screen regained functionality and the system booted like normal. This time however, it has been charging for over 24 hours and the phone still plays dead and the annoying red light is still there, giving me hope that the phone is not entirely dead.

How can I fix that? Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong subforum, but that's my first time. I only used your custom ROMs and kernels back in 2015-2017, but never posted anything.

Any feedback on the problem will be greatly appreciated!

thank you for answering!

The charger and cable does not matter, the issue is still there. The phone detects that it is being charged, right now it has been charging for about 25 hours with several breaks for several minutes (I tried turning it on with the charger unplugged).

ROM is the latest official stable MIUI release. On this particular phone I haven't unlocked bootloader or messed with software in any way.

So. I have a nexus 6 device and i sent it with a technician for a battery swap (turning of randomly). The thing is when i got it back the phone was dead, the device didn't show any sing of life (didn't boot and didn't even showed a charging animation.), i tought the new battery was the problem but the technician told me that wasnt it. I didn't receive any explanation of what happened to the device or why it didn't turn on.

Anyway. I oppened the device myself and realized that a flex was partly sliced. (the flex conected to the other flex that's supposed to be for the buttons).

Hello a-dead-trousers

I bought an Atom L and want to install Lineage OS on it. As a newbie to Customs ROM, I'm trying to get ahead with the details here. ADB and Fastboot drivers on the PC are installed and I'm trying to work through points

1. Unlocking

and

2. Installing TWRP recovery

but am running into difficulties on my device and hoping for help: after typing `adb reboot bootloader` the phone's screen gets black with the indication '=> FASTBOOT mode...' in the lower left corner in very small caracters. Any further command on the prompt leads to an error < waiting for any devices > and < Too many open files in system > See attached image. I have to press the Power button to restart the official Android OS. How can I overcome this issue?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
Honestly I normally also use Windows but for this work I switched to Linux. ;)

`Fastboot mode` on phone screen is correct.

If the phone is in fastboot mode, connected to your PC and you type `fastboot devices` you should see it's serial number along with `fastboot` indicating the mode. Like you see it with `adb devices`.

So my guess is a problem with the windows drivers especially the fastboot portion.

Have you tried it with the MTK drivers?

https://github.com/ADeadTrousers/android_device_Unihertz_Atom_XL/blob/master/docs/HOW-TO-SPFLASH.md
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Logiciel-XDA:
Thank you for the quick response, @a-dead-trousers! :)

I installed the MTK drivers on my Win 8.1 PC from the link. I am still using this ADB driver . This info I got from here and also the ADB Tools needed. The result is pretty much the same. :confused: See images.

I must also mention that a pulsing sound (device driver sound) is heard when I enter `adb reboot bootloader` . This was also the case when i tried it before. The sound does not stop; I can only turn it off by pressing the Power button and starting the official OS again.

What am I doing wrong?
