I pretty much subscribe to every single aspect jeryll wrote down... (y)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] cskarlata:
Could someone tell me if I did the backup correctly?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jeryll:
if you made backup on decrypted internal storage (/data partition) and planning to restore also on decrypted storage, then yes
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
@jeryll, the upgrade from ArrowOS 11 nightly 20210503 to the latest 20210510 with OSS vendor requires a clean flash.

Any idea if backup/restore of the data partition with OrangeFox can be used in that case to restore the phone with all apps & settings?

I'm not sure why the upgrade of the same custom ROM, with the only drastic change being the move from original vendor to OSS vendor, requires a clean flash.

I've put a lot of time to setup a total of six POCO X3 NFC and of course I don't want to start all over again with installing and configuring just because of going forward with the new OSS vendor.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
That's because whole vendor is changed itself. Simple. It contains absolutely different files compared to stock vendor and by dirty flashing you would get bootloop. Also take in mind that firmware is also updated to A11 12.0.7, so that's another reason why dirty flash doesn't work. Clean flash is advised to avoid any bugs. That's why I always do clean flash.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
So by installing the new A11 FW and latest ArrowOS 11 with OSS vendor followed by formating data, what would be the proper way to restore all apps + app data + settings to get back to the previous state?

I'm totally lost with this right now. I know about backup/restore of the data partition using recovery, I have OAndBackupX (but never performed a full app + app data backup yet), but I don't have or use Titanium Backup.

There surely must be a way to upgrade by clean flashing AND restoring everything so that the phone is in the same state of installation/configuration as before, because starting all over again on a total of six POCO X3 NFC (for the whole family) would be a total nightmare.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] temporarium:
Titanium and OAndBackupX will backup and restore your apps, but don't rely on them for system settings and configurations, or contacts/calendars, etc.

Having 6 devices, here is your chance to experiment 😁

Just kidding.

Anyway, you could try a full OF backup (including Internal Storage) onto an SD Card and do a dirty flash to see what happens. Don't wipe/or format data, just boot into system once before installing Magisk. Make sure you remove any password/pin protection before you even begin.

If you can't get past this, you could flash the original ROM and restore your backup (as indicated in the OP).

All this is experimental and may/may not work, so your decision 😉 You may very well have to start from scratch, but you would have to anyways if you decided to use the newer ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
@temporarium, it has already been confirmed that there is no way around a clean flash with A11+OSS vendor, so trying to dirty flash the A11+OSS upgrade is out of question.

Not sure on how to proceed. Starting from scratch with at least user app + app data backup using OAndBackupX is an option, but that's going to be extremely cumbersome for six phones.

And then there is the issue that according to @evolez in his reply concerning the ArrowOS 11 update, there is no custom recovery supporting A11+OSS device decryption yet, so if this is true, I will have to wait for an update to OrangeFox or TWRP anyway, because there is no way I'm going to forego device encryption.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jeryll:
- unless OOS vendor has fixed NFC bug (Gpay payments not working) I would avoid to install any ROM using it if you need that functionality ... If you must - use Swift backup (or Migrate) to backup your apps + data, do a clean flash of ArrowOS(OSS) - or with something that you are familiar with ... and restore ...

- you can try on one of your phones to backup /data partition, do a clean flash of ArrowOS(OSS) and restore /data after - maybe it'll work, that need to be tested anyway by someone ...

- if possible use latest brigudavs TWRP to do backup and restore (it "should" work with A11 encryption - not tested) - not sure when will be Ofox for surya updated to work properly with A11 encryption, but that depends entirely on Ofox devs, they may wait when A11 TWRP branch/source will be marked as stable and that may take time (1 - 6 months)

- in a few hours (waiting for unlock (last hour - YAY!)) I am switching to my new phone (sweet - Redmi Note 10 Pro) where only latest TWRP is able properly decrypt A11 encryption, and devs compiling Ofox for "sweet" says they cant do nothing about it unless ofox devs update sources from TWRP and that may take time (1 - 6 months)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
@jeryll, not using Gpay, so not concerned about a NFC bug.

Hopefully more info will become available soon and others do some testing and confirming, because our six POCO X3 NFC are in daily use and can not be used for experimenting around with this.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
So, are you jumping PX3 ship? At least the forums here will be a lot poorer when you do... 😟

This is has been my main gripe with this device: I don't mind a bit of hacking to get my way, but I have other things to worry about and have no will to become an hardcore flasher.

Lack of stable basic functionalities like nandroid backups is very discouraging.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jeryll:
- yep, but "sweet" is basically PX3 with amoled display and slightly better camera (also it has working MIUI 12 where all my Android apps actually works - shame on you POCO SW engineers!) and way better signal reception ... I can only recommend it ...

- I'm giving my PX3 to someone who may or may not accept it, so if it will stick with me, I will use it for far more testing as until now ... we will see ...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
I feel the same -- I have a Redmi Note 8 on the back burner, but was just eager to see the PX3 live up to its specs.

While I'm usually a very patient guy, this is the most effort I have invested on any device I ever owned -- from the original Samsung Galaxy up.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaanks, was trying to do this but prob somthg went wrong, so, I found this and now it is backing up, great help (first flashing)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] temporarium:
It's not the backing up you need to worry about. It's the restore. That's the hard part 😉
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] BastianB001:
nvm possibly won't be needing it, just flashed ArrowOS wiith GApps and magisk for nethunter, but now my camera isn't working xd, I'll be looking forward for searching on other threads for it
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] XtraWater:
Finally I decided to format the SD card as exFat and yes, now the backup ends successfuly.

What i want to do is update to the latest vendor MIUI A10 (12.0.9 for Surya). I guess I shouldn't use the latest MIUI A11 vendor since I want to stay on RR Q.

Flashing latest MIUI

Flashing RR Q

Flashing Orangefox, Magisk, openGapps....

and then restoring Data partition as described in the OP under ' (encrypted vendor and storage used) Backup methode A'

Does this makes sense, or could I try to flash the vendor file only?

I don't plan to remove the screenlock. If I do this, after enabling it again I have to re-configure all the apps to accept fingerprints again. I don't know how to avoid this. Some of my banking app requiring a new activation when something security related (fingerprints) has changed.

Edit: I flashed V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM with orange fox. After a reboot into OF, it still shows 12.0.7.0. Why is that?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jjkirbs:
So is Super the same as System?

Using TWRP, I just tried backing up and it failed at Cleaning Backup Folder?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jeryll:
- super partition is physical partition containing several virtual partitions, including system partition...

- hard to say why twrp is not working correctly for you and I can't check because I don't have POCO X3 NFC anymore...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Sa9aX:
Hi,

Which is the best custom ROM?

Not looking for playing games, usually looking for more switches, multitasking, advanced GUI.

Just looking at these :- DescendantOS, CRDroid, DotOS, PixysOS, ZenX-OS or other that you think is better than these.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] wojownikhaha:
Resurrection Remix. I'm custom rom user since 2013 and don't know more customizable one.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xdabushrang3r:
I would agree with that. Resurrection Remix is an amazing ROM. Although A10 version seems to be abandoned. Would love to see A11.

Havoc is also a great ROM but last release for A10 was Dec 2020. Would love to see A11 for this too.

The only two A11 ROMs at the moment are RevengeOS and dotOS.

Revenge is clean, uncluttered, fast and smooth.

dotOS has a few extra features (which I wanted).

....but Havoc and Resurrection have far more customizations and tweaks.

Hi all

I have been looking around and don't think one exists, But thought i might ask anyway. Does any one know of a program i can put on my phone the will allow me to use the keyboard of my phone as a virtual keyboard for my PC and the touch screen as a mouse. through a wireless connection kind of like those remote control applications work. Sure would be a cool app to have. Would never have to get off the couch again.

cheers

Here are about 7 options to solve your problem!!!!!

1. here is a freeware app that works the opposite way (use your keyboard and mouse from your computer to control your PPC)

http://www.trancreative.com/rkb.aspx

2. Search XDA-Devs for "bluetooth hid" and you will find a program that allows you to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard with your win-mo phone

3. this program allows you to control certain applications from your PPC:

http://www.jaylee.org/remotecontrol/

I have used this one, and it is the best and it does exactly what you want and more, plus it is free!!!!!!!!!!1 The only problem I have found is that it is pretty unreliable and loses connection and has to be re-paired with bluetooth a lot.

4. This one does exactly waht you are looking for, except it costs 12$:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Telephony-SMS-GSM/Bluetooth-Remote-Control.shtml

5. logmein.com offers a free way to control your smartphone from your comp or vice-versa

6. If you have Vista, microsoft now has a SideShow client for windows mobile over bluetooth, so you can use your "gadgets" on your computer from your PPC.

7. If you want to spend a little money, you could always get the Logitech Dinovo Mini, I have it and it works great at controlling my PC, my PS3, and My pocket pc via bluetooth.

Amazon link:

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1220674781&sr=8-1

Or if you want something similar to the dinovo mini, you could go with this generic one:

http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Kybr...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1220674781&sr=8-2

If all else fails, you could always just use Remote Desktop from your PPC

RealVNC ?

How about the simple way of using VNC from RealVNC ? I use it from time to time, when I need to check something on my pc from the lunchroom @ work. I just use the VNC and use my work pc thru the wifi network.

It works great + it's free + it's 1 file open (no need for install so u can just keep it in your SD and make a link to programs if you want to.)

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] It_ler:
If you can not into recovery or download mode, try to flash TWRP again.

Or flash back stock firmware if that does not work. Keep in mind to use Home_CSC to boot wipe your data.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Mightx:
Just flash stock firmware through odin again then boot back into download mode then flash TWRP and untick "Auto-Reboot" option then when flashing is done, boot into recovery manually to verify if TWRP is installed properly then you could boot back up to OS from TWRP it shouldn't loop if all went well. Also make sure that before you flashed TWRP, you enabled OEM Unlock and USB Debugging option in developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8095861:
It's fine , Flashing TWRP first time wipes your data thus you get bootloop. You just need to Flash a custom rom and evertything will he fine.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Mightx:
Yes since TWRP needs internal storage and data wipe to properly work with these partitions when coming from stock ROM but flashing a custom ROM after a clean wipe of the partitions should work fine.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] NightOrchid:
So after upgrading my New M20Pro to the latest 10.1.. Ive noticed that Huawei have replaced the camera UI, resolutions and pixel binning with just aspect ratios... After doing some research, it appears this has been done to all Huawei devices from the NOva 5T to the P30 and 40 Pro.. and while Huawei have given explanations on this in their forums,, all I can find in the 20pro is the 40mpx Hi Res in Pro mode.. not the 24/40/48mpx settings Huawei say..

So how does it work on the M20P.. can someone please briefly explain or point me to a thread that explains this for our phone.. and any tips anyone has for using this..

Thanks all :)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] NightOrchid:
So after much hunting and researching.. i found my answer on YT no less.. so incase your wondering.. heres the Aspect ratios with their corresponding resolution settings

Rear Cam

(4:3) 10mpx .. 3648x2736 (4x10mp pixel Binning)

(1:1) 7mpx ... 2736x2736

(18.8x9) 6mpx ... 3648x1744

Front Cam

(4:3) 24mpx ... 5632x4224

(1:1) 18mpx ... 4224x4224

(18:9) 16mpx ... 5632x2816

In Photo Mode, to get the full (4:3) 40mpx .. 7296x5472, you need to swipe along to "More" and tap "Hi-Res"

In Pro Mode you just tap the "40mp" in the left corner of the screen

Anyway I hope this helps someone who is curious..

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Muhsami:
Hello,

Only Few days ago, we received the new OTA Update for our OnePlus 8 Pro devices,

notifying us to upgrade to the latest available stable version (11.0.4.4) from the older version 11.0.3.3.

with such great expectations based on update log. 🤔

As we're testing whether there are enough improvements in the latest update or not..

Let me share with you, how to update to the latest OTA update on a rooted OnePlus device..

Using magisk manager .. for magisk-rooted devices (without custom recovery of course) ..

First we check the new update notification in notification bar, and go to download the new update ..

if you didn't get that notification.. go to settings and check for updates manually

View attachment 5220841

start to Download the update - the device will tell you that because of having a rooted device.. the software version will be downloaded as a full package from the start.. not just the update package ..

that's why it will be around 4.00 Gbs.

View attachment 5220843

while waiting for the update to finish .. make sure your magisk manager is uptodate

and now return to ur update progress bar..

SOFTWARE Update Download finishes. Click on Install NOW to install the newest OTA update...

Make Sure ur device is charged at least 20% - Click Install

After Installation is Complete, DONT REBOOT ur device as it offers in the bottom of the screen

Now Go to magisk manager application once more..

choose install or update (as depicted).

choose the last option (install to inactive slot (after OTA) )

Agree to the warning that appears by clicking OK

Now it finishes flashing the new patched_boot to the inactive slot which will be master one after reboot.

Now click reboot .. and voila you have the new update without losing magisk..

Thanks for reading.

until we meet in another tutorial.. goodbye..
