[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] kekesed97:
It's fun to read your journal.

But unfortunately, unlocking bootloader needs to bind your phone to a mi account. And you have an account lock problem. I guess it won't happen until you solve that.

There is mi account unblocking service out there if you will to spare bucks, but I haven't tried any of it, and as promoting such service is against xda rule, I can't tell you any name here.

Personally, I will keep my hands away from something with account problem. My best experience is buying a bricked phones (redmi note 5 pro, redmi note 8 pro).
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] M1k3.7:
Thank you for you're reply.

When I bought the phone I actually wasn't aware that the bootloader could be locked. As I said I've not much of an idea and thought I could at least flash a custom ROM on that phone. I know nothing and knew even less a couple weeks ago 😄

I'm aware that there are unlocking services you can pay for. Did not really look into that yet.

I have still a couple options. The guy I bought the phone from does know the name and email of the other guy who but in the mi Account in the first place. That guy is willing to remove the Mi lock if I'd bring the phone to him. He's rather far away though and a flight-ticket is not really worth it 😄

The other option is to pay for it - as you said - but I doubt there is a store nearby me and I don't want to pay a random online based service from I-don't-know-where as the phone works fine like it is now and my daughter is happy.

Another option would probably be to buy another phone with broken screen (but not locked) or so or maybe just the motherboard. I'm not sure though if it's enough to exchange the motherboard or not 🤔

Or I could just leave it for now and wait if someone programs a working bootloader key generator or unlocking tool for the phone. That's maybe already out somewhere or it will be next week or in 5 years - who knows 😄

If nothing works, it's fine too as long as it runs like it does now with the VPN.

You can ask him to unregister your phone from his account. It's the best bet.

Wait, I will test it to my old redmi note 5.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] kekesed97:
Just tested with my redmi note 5 pro. Apparently you can unlock it if you have access to your mi account. I'm sure you don't have google frp lock there so I logged out from my google account before testing.

How did I do that?

1. I did a backup on /data partition using OrangeFox

2. I erased my google account and leaving mi account intact

3. I did a factory reset by le old 3 wipe (data, cache, dalvik-cache), leaving emulated storage intact

4. I rebooted my phone

5. Upon welcome screen, I connected to mobile data and welcomed by "Login to your MI account" screen. I connect to a wifi network here

6. I went to i.mi.com, and login to my account.

7. I clicked on "Find device", and deactivated find device there

8. I clicked on my profile logo -> Devices and storage

9. I clicked on my test device

10. I clicked on "Erase device" and agreed to the next dialog box

11. My device was removed from my account

12. I restarted my device and that annoying lockout screen is gone

13. I skipped everything on welcome screen and checked wether my files are intact or not. It is

14. Test finished. Now restoring my old data

Good day!

In my phone i have non-working recovery. I cannot fix it by connecting phone to PC and running fastboot beacouse of damaged USB connector in my phone. It only allows me to charge up it's battery, no connectivity (I've checked it with several cables and PC's).

Is there any way to flash recovery partition from running lineageOS? Something like dd if=twrp.img of=partition? I have root on it.

This phone is weared a bit so i don't want to invest money i fixing its USB/battery

Thanks for help :)

Hi guys,

I know if you unplug a charging phone in and out a lot it kills the battery, however my question is (as this was a big battery killer on my nokia n95) if I plug my touch pro into my pc and it has charged, will it then run purely off external power?

On my n95 it would charge, use a tiny bit of power on the battery and very shortly charge again. Obviously if my battery dipped again by a whole bar id want it to kick in the charger but that was crazy.

I'd like to leave my touch pro plugged in a lot for activesynch etc and charge at the same time so it would be nice to know if it's going to kill my battery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aussieak:
I find that when the battery is charged the USB power will stop charging it. I charge overnight with my PC off on USB and come back and the full charged status is on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mrvanx:
Your PC should be able to provide 500mA through the port if the Touch Pro requests it, however the standalone charger is rated at 1A (1000mA) so if you are worried about using your device while charging then perhaps use it with the external charger.

I see no reason why your battery wouldnt be charged adequatly by the USB port though, generally you would be using less than your are getting from the usb port.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NLS:
erm... where did you hear that?

no it doesn't

maybe you mix it with the car ignition eating too much gas if you do it a lot?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Upquark:
Well, it used to be that way with the old NiCd batteries. Nowadays it's not an issue anymore.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Scribe:
My apologies, whilst lithium ion's don't have memory they do still lose overall power by each charge and discharge, even if it's not a complete one.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NLS:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mospantagruel:
also my 5 year old HP IPAQ disagrees.

same situation with my HTC Artemis, i bought it since the first day it went on sale and battery is as new!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ardsar:
This issue has come up so many times ..... i post again a link to a website with details on how to maximise a li-ion batterry. It clearly states that it prefers small discharges, with full discharges in every 30 charge cycles.

[General Questions and Answers] hans henrik:
after patching boot.img with Magisk and flashing over the patched boot.img, the phone (Doogee S88 Plus) will just infinitely reboot after the message `Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted`

luckily, patching the original boot.img back fixes it (albeit flashing it back is kindof tricky, have to reboot multiple times while holding down the volume-down button before i can re-flash)

so it's not bricked, but i haven't been able to root it either, any suggestions?

fwiw, i'm using this firmware: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13bxhk-eEsJ81FmJWZaEEsOkZBMsYJE3x

This did it..dont flash vbmeta...the Boot ist the only Thing you Need...flashing vbmeta will end in bootloop...maybe a signed vbmeta...but why trying when Boot is enough...
[General Questions and Answers] kineyDE:
after hours of trying I finally got it working.

Because I tried so much stuff I'm not exactly sure what was the key.

The signed boot.img flashed with sp flash tool alone did not work - i did not have the device unlocked with fastboot at that moment.

Then I tried a lot of different stuff.

I _think_ what was needed is these two things:

- signed boot.img from @hans henrik

- unlocking bootloader with fastboot (fastboot flashing unlock && fastboot flashing unlock_critical)

[General Questions and Answers] Shrekky69:
I finally managed to root my phone after days of endless boot loops (fixed by flashing stock using SP flash tool). Turns out I didn't need to flash an empty vbmeta or install TWRP at all. I was able to root it by following this guide https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-35862.html. For some reason your patched magisk image didn't work on my S88 Plus, so I made my own using the stock boot image from the official Doogee website (which appears to be the same one used in your patched version?) and Magisk 25.2 apk. For the Hovatek guide, I used python2 since python and python3 did not work. I currently have a red "Not Verify" watermark and an NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10 wifi network error, but should be able to resolve those with root access from guides I read earlier.

I would also like to install a GSI (lineageos preferably) but have had no success since nothing seems to officially support the S88 Plus even though it is project treble compatible, and I have ran into boot loops so far.

I have attached my working magisk_patched.img but would recommend building it from scratch using the linked guide to avoid any issues.

Hi, I am thinking of flashing a Custom ROM (specifically Corvus OS) in my Redmi Note 8 for the first time. Here my doubt is that is it necessary to root the device for using the Custom ROM, because I want to run the Payments app in my device. And I've heard that rooted devices are not able to run the payments apps & although I do not wish to root my device. So can I flash a ROM like Corvus OS without rooting the device?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
root comes in last (after flashing the rom) and you are not forced to do it ...
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Yuki1001:
Of course you can. Download the recovery ROM and flash it with 3rd party recovery like TWRP etc.

Root is not necessary for flashing custom ROM.

This morning I deleted my system camera app and that made my phone bootloop. After some trickery I managed to install a new version but lost all my photos and files along with root. Can I get a tutorial how to create my own boot image with magisk so I can hopefully recover some of the photos. Thank you
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] existor11:
Hey, there might be more ways, but this is the one I follow everytime I root my g7.

Download the firmware (.kdz file). You can get that here.

In the meantime (the download will take some time) you can search and download a tool called "LG Firmware Extract", mine is v1.2.6.1. If you struggle finding it, you can download the one I attached (for Windows).

Once both are downloaded, open the firmware extractor and there click "Open" next to "KDZ File" label and locate the .kdz file you just downloaded. You can also type in the file path instead of locating.

In the table of files below, check the largest file starting with G71030f and click "Extract KDZ"

In the working directory (marked as "Working folder ..." above the table) you should now find a file named after the file you checked. Locate that one on "DZ File" row by clicking "Open" next to it.

Now in the second table, find a file called boot.img_65286, check, Extract DZ.

The file should be in the same directory previous one (G71030f...) was. Rename it to boot.img.

Send the boot.img to your phone

Install Magisk Manager, open, click "Install magisk"

On method selection choose "select and patch a file" and pick the boot.img file and proceed.

That's it, you should be told where your patched image sits.

In case you want to skip steps 1 to 7, I attached a boot.img file. I also attached a patched boot.img, since I did it for mine, too.

BTW if you choose to download the firmware extractor from the attached files, you can find a short tutorial on how to extract boot image in a text file inside.

Hope it still helps you.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] runtime64:
I've installed Lineage OS 18.1 on Moto G7 after a year or so of experience of Resurrection Remix OS. Positively impressed with speed and smootheness of the LOS. But I'd really love to get reach to a couple more of settings and tweaks.

One of them is the list of recent apps appearing when the square bottom button is touched. The list quickly gets long and littered with all kinds of service apps you run once. Yes, there is a standard option at the end of the list 'Clear all'. But I'd prefer a cleaner experience without an obligation of a regular manual tidying up. Just a short list of really useful apps to call back: camera, dictionary, navigator, and some others on my choice. In RR OS there is a dedicated tab in the Settings where I could choose which apps are shown in the Recents and which are not. In LOS I just cannot find any way to arrange it. I could accept to sacrifice the Recents function as such. But everything I find in Settings -> Buttons is a long press on Recents, not even short press.

Could you please share the way to tweak the list of the apps to show in Recents, or an add-on which gives access to this option, or a simple environment variable to edit in some config file switching off Recents.

Thanks in advance

[OnePlus 9] RANJITH THRISSUR:
Guys, I've been using a one plus 7 pro since 2 years. During these days I've noticed something, when I charge my phone using the red usb cable by connecting to laptop it shows about 1250mA speed. Which is slow. But, when I do the same using a type C cable by connecting to thunderbolt 3 port on laptop, it's speed is around 1900mA, much higher..!

Now, we all know a thunderbolt 3 port is capable of providing as high as 100W charging speed. Our one plus 7 pro wall charger only gives 30w at peak charging speed.

Hope everyone understand where I'm heading!

Why can't we get the max charging speed(in my case 30w aka 6000mA) with this setup ??

Is it that, one plus device is failing to recognize that thunderbolt 3 it's connected to is able to supply required power ?

Or is it because the cable I'm using , inorder to achieve this insane speeds, has to be a thunderbolt 3 compatible one?(which in my case, isn't)

Please share your knowledge, do let us know if someone found a way out to make it possible. If yes, that would mean I can completely stay away from that heavy brick for charging..

I'd tried and tried to make WiFi Calling work on my G Power, but finally found the winning combination.

TMobile is my carrier and Havoc 3.12 my OS.

First in your home firewall, allow -out- UDP ports isakmp (500) and ipsec-nat-t (4500). This is so WiFi calling can set up the IPSec VPN tunnel that it needs. Make sure your phone is set to always connect to your home WiFi network while you're there.

Then on your phone: Settings|Network&Internet|MobileNetwork|WiFiCalling and CallingPreference over WiFi .

Now it should work! When you're in a call it will show a symbol that it's a WiFi call.

This has helped me immensely as I have poor cell signal at home.

I am trying to fix my Huawei P30 (Android 10) which gets stuck in recovery mode. I tried to fix it by using eRecovery but I get the error "Get Package info failed".

Around the internet, I was told to flash a new ROM to solve this problem but there is no tutorial for flashing stock ROMs for Huawei P30 on the internet.

My Huawei P30 does not have an SD Card slot meaning I can't use the method of adding update.app to dload folder on an sd card.

I also cannot use ADB fastboot because the Huawei Android 10 does not have the image files required (boot.img, recovery.img, etc) Instead it has a myriad of images like Super.img, Ramdisk.img, erocovery.img etc

I don't know which ones to select because I am unable to find a tutorial on the internet that tells me which files to select.

I also cannot use SP Flash tool because Android 10 stock ROMs do not have scatter file XML or txt (it has update.app)
