You have many options for TWRP/PBRP. Just keep trying and certainly one will work for you.

If you brick your device, just flash another.

Your best chaces are using SP FLASH TOOL or TWRP or PBRP.

You can NOT modify partitions after booting the system.

Damn bro, you got some nerves of steel to stick around for this long. I don't know what would I have done if it was me. Lemme give you and people like you a cookie.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
Yes, you need to do it with sp flash tool, because the engineering rom needs to rewrite the partition table.

Or, you can ignore that and flash using fastboot.

But, if you face any issue, only sp flash tool can help.

Nice job, my friend.

I suggest you to use the properly scatter file of the rom you are using.

If you are using the engineering rom, use the scatter file of the engineering rom.

If you are using the release rom, use the scatter file of the release rom.

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
Nice job, my friend :)

You are welcome.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
If you damage your nvram, you will lost if forever.

If you have intact nvram, be sure to backup it as soon you can.

Read this: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-what-...lin-device-redmi-note-9-redmi-10x-4g.4229629/

If you try to move nvram to another device, you will brick your device and get nv data corrupted.

It does not recover the imei for slot1.

You can only recover the imei for slot1 if you have the original nvram from the same device.

If you want to backup your repaired imei, just backup the NVDATA partition and then restore it whenever you want.

(If your NVDATA backup has only imei for slot2, you can share it with different devices, without worries.)

A mi m deleted the IMEI and the baseband version! What can I do?
[General Topics] sjvirchow:
My S20 FE 5G (AT&T) that I bought in November 2020 has four major issues going on:

Intermittent screen issues ("ghost typing")

Fast wireless charging doesn't work. It'll say Fast Wireless Charging for about a second but then revert to slow sub 5 watt wireless charging. The time remaining will indicate fast wireless charging, but then the estimated charging time will double and it'll go into slow wireless charging mode. I've tried four different wireless chargers and they all do the same thing.

No OTA software updates. Ever. The phone swears that it is up to date when I know for a fact that it isn't. I should be on the January patch but I'm stuck on December. I had to actually go to

and pay

a uBreakiFix store $52.00 to have my phone manually updated to One UI 3.0 and Android 11 when that update came out because my phone simply wouldn't get it. AT&T confirmed that the IMEI was all correct in their system. I'm currently disputing that updating charge with my bank.

Nothing that uses a data connection, whether that be 5G or WiFi doesn't work. It keeps saying that the connection failed and the like.

With my phone, I included a hand written list of these issues that I was having, and what I've done to try to solve the problem. I even wrote down the Baseband version that my phone should be on, which matches the update information on AT&T's website.

I shipped my phone on Monday and it got to the repair facility in Plano Texas yesterday. To be honest, I don't know with this many glitches going on how you can fix this in just the software. I am just really hoping that there's nothing still wrong with my phone when I get it back, either repaired or replaced. I get a little paranoid that it'll come back to me and that something will still not work. My hope is that they test every single thing on the phone to make sure that it works.

What do you guys think?

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] numbazZ:
So basically I am having problems with the camera on every Android 11 rom on Willow (Redmi Note 8T). Tried formatting everything, latest 12.0.2.0 firmware flashed, tried every rom here, same problems... I can take photos (always in a vertical orientation, it won't rotate the photo if I took it horizontally), but video recording won't work at all. When I press the record button it goes for a second and then the app freezes. When I go to video mode and then back to photo (switching between modes takes 5 secs), the camera app crashes with an error "can't connect to camera''. Same problems with any camera app, only with gcam instead of freezing on video it records a one-second file and then stops as if someone pressed the stop button.

I asked many guys here, seems like no one had problems like me, maybe this problem is related only to Willow because of no Android 11 firmware yet

Also, I find out just now that auto rotation won't work at all, not only in camera

Edit: Fixed by flashing persist.img from miui fastboot rom

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zx7ninja:
Hi guys. I have a FireTV 4k box. The 2nd gen one.

When I bought it way back upon release a few years ago, I rooted it, used it for a bit, and put it in a box. Just recently I took it back out and started using it again.

Whatever method I used to root it etc is unknown, as it was afew years ago, and I can't find anything similar anywhere online. At the time, downloader wasn't a thing, and you had to adb in and sideload apps.

I am currently on 5.2.6.3

The box won't update at all.

I adb' into the box, and found SU doesn't work. I was able to get temp root via mtk-su and successfully ran the pm unhide com.amazon.device.software.ota and pm enable com.amazon.device.software.ota commands.

The firetv will now at least SEARCH for updates (where it wouldn't before) but doesn't find any to install.

The manage_recovery command to check status won't run. Says manage_recovery not found.

I'm not sure what to do next.

I just want it back to completely stock.

I'm having issues with apps working, but upon restart of the firetv the somehow get transferred to a non-existent sd card and will no longer run.

Netflix in particular.

Can you guys give any guidance here?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bertonumber1:
I know you wish to go back to stock but perhaps you may wish to use the new and improved root (Magisk or Supersu) and upgrade your box that way.

The Sloane 2nd generation Firetv Box can now be fully unlocked. This will allow you to upgrade your box to a more recent firmware.

A simple step by step guide can be found here :

That is a good idea, and may work. I'll give it a shot and see what happens, thanks!

Is there an advantage of doing this over the pre-rooted rooms flashed in TWRP? I have a rooted fire TV v2 that I have done periodic updates on but it seems like it always has another update to do. Updates are blocked but it pops a message randomly saying there is and update giving 60 seconds to respond or it reboots trying to update. Would this method of root/updates be easier or more up to date?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bertonumber1:
Definitely unlock Sloane with this new method.

IMO you have FULL control over the box. Also you have more easier management of your root access (Magisk Manager)

OTA can be handled easily either by adb command or use an app such as luckypatcher to disable/enable ota onscreen.

I would recommend this unlock to anyone wanting a more upto date root and fireos. :cool:

In my opinion, if I had to change my Mi A3 now, I'd go with a Motorola Moto G 5G Plus, which has more or less the same A3 stuff, with a better display, 5g, better battery but it's also slightly bigger and heavier.

The only thing I don't know is about the software, on the xda page there are very few threads and nobody's talking about major problems with software, I might give it a try if I get sick with Xiaomeme software updates :)

That motorola has an IPS screen with SD765, so not really comparable

But I think this 720p AMOLED screen is crappy (EVEN if it makes this phone faster), but you cannot find a decent 1080p at the smallish 70-72mm width that's not costing an arm and a leg (Sony Xperia 5).

Wait 7 days for the new Poco.

Ever since I have upgraded (and boy do I mean that in every sense of the word, thanks DCD) my dialing from the phone screen has been painfully slow... one of those things that just throws off your rhythm trying to dial because the numbers and touch tones do not show up until after a delay.... so basically you are not sure if you dialed the right numbers until waiting to see what comes out OR you ave to go VERY slow to make sure that there are no mistakes. It is a one digit at a time delay... dial a number and wait or dial them all and they slowly show up with even timing.

I hope there might be an idea... I won't go as far as reloading it... I have it too perfect right now... I wouldn't remember where to start and I don't have the time to reinstall everything anyway. Just the same... any thoughts or suggestions are gratefully accepted.

Some of the replacement dialers/contact programs with their own dialers look up your contacts as you dial, if you have a very large contact list it can drastically slow down your dialing. Try turning off smartdialing temporarily and see if it clears it up.
