[General Questions and Answers] Eduardo de Juan:
Do you think that even if it's Android 10 it will be lighter than my present Android 6?

As I mentioned I don't want to root. I see that the link you included has a GAPPs installation so I guess the Lineage ROM comes without those.

I use OpenSuse linux so I would like to install from there, any problems?

Otherwise can I do it from a Windows 7 virtual machine?

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
It really doesn't matter whether it's Android 10 or Android 6 or whatever version what is running. As with any Android for each app a predefined heap size ( the maximum amount of RAM the app can allocate ) exists which is passed through configuration properties inside Android's build.prop file. Usually, heap size is relative to the RAM size of the Android device. So, an Android device with 1 GB of RAM will normally have a heap size of 128 MB and a device with 2+ GB RAM a heap size of 256 MB.

Assuming Android OS itself is eating 500 MB RAM to properly run, then on your phone can - at maximum - run up to 30 apps using 256 MB ( large-heap-size ) simultaneously.
[General Questions and Answers] Eduardo de Juan:
Thanks for your reply.

What I meant by lighter refers to the scarce 8 Gb on my device, not the RAM. With only 8 Gb there is a very low limit to the amount of apps I can install. Maybe with Lineage there is more of those 8 Gb free.

And that takes me to the Gapps packages. When reading the link for Gapps it offers various packages and I'm a bit lost as to which I should download.

Open Gapps for LineageOS 17.1 GSI build: Download

Open Gapps for Android 10

ARM: Download Open Gapps 10 ARM Zip

ARM64: Download Open Gapps 10 ARM64 Zip

BiTGApps for Android 10 Custom ROM | Link

GApps for LineageOS 17 | Link

I've downloaded the Lineage ROM file and have a doubt about the name of the file and whether it's valid for my model. The name of the file is

lineage-17.1-20201213-UNOFFICIAL-js01lte.zip

What worries me is the "...js01lte" part.

My mobile is SM-J500FN, also "j5nlte"

[General Questions and Answers] Eduardo de Juan:
ok, I think I'm almost ready to flash my first ever custom rom.

I've been reading to understand what I'm getting into.

One doubt. It seems that TWRP is capable of installing the custom rom without me telling it what partition it should be flashed to.

My question, if I want to flash a Samsung stock ROM can I also use TWRP or must I use Odin or Heimdall and flash it to the appropriate partition?

BR, Eduardo
[General Questions and Answers] Eduardo de Juan:
Before I proceed

Installation instructions state "Then, select the System, Vendor, Data, and the Cache partition and perform a right swipe to format the selected partitions."

My device doesn't show the vendor partition.

Is it ok to proceed ?
[General Questions and Answers] kurtn:
Still insstalling? I think lineageOS is not the right solution for you. I got the same phone and made it work by disabling bloatware.
[General Questions and Answers] Eduardo de Juan:
Hi Kurtin

from what I've learnt until now disabling bloatware doesn't free up any space, it just doesn't show but it's still there.
[General Questions and Answers] kurtn:
You need to see the partitions separately. The stock version of each app is stored in system partition. That is no problem. You can't use free space in system partition.

Our problem is data partition. Each enabled app will try to store it's data and updates in data partition. That makes the device unusable.
[General Questions and Answers] Eduardo de Juan:
I think I understand what you mean and therefore installing a different ROM won't help unless it changes the partition setup.

Thanks for your support.
[General Questions and Answers] kurtn:
Installing a different ROM will help. Custom ROMs usually have less bloatware that occupies data partition for updates.

Same effect as disabling apps in stock ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] Eduardo de Juan:
Hi

our exchange started when you stated "I think lineageOS is not the right solution for you. I got the same phone and made it work by disabling bloatware."

Can you propose a better custom ROM that addresses our needs or didn't you explore that track?
[General Questions and Answers] kurtn:
LineageOS 17.1 should be OK.

[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
We got Nokia 5.4 source code and firmware up. I have been looking deep into the source code for any tricks before building it.

However we have boot.img now and I think we should get magisk support here.

As excepted we have these results:

cp: can't preserve ownership of 'busybox': Operation not permitted
cp: can't preserve ownership of 'magisk32': Operation not permitted
cp: can't preserve ownership of 'magisk64': Operation not permitted
cp: can't preserve ownership of 'magiskboot': Operation not permitted
cp: can't preserve ownership of 'magiskinit': Operation not permitted
[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
Found a way into adb sideloading!! which is good since this device almost has no recovery mode after last OTA. Time to sue HMD ?
[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
Where the fk is EDL mode ?
[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
All we need now is a way to change active slot from B to A

Or nvm I think I found a way to bypass downgrading permission. Will update soon
[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
Currently stuck with Incremental OTA payload.bin

Need to extract it so I can edit things like dm verity, vbmeta, boot.img

This will probably be the end of the trick for the device. At least manually, for root access and further unlock chances
[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
(this is the easy way)
[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
I might try to use the full ota and see if I can bypass this weird adb sideload with this

tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files.py - platform/build - Git at Google
[Nokia 5.4] thegamingcat13:
I know this probably still is WIP but is I may ask, how did you flash the payload.bin file? And for adb sideload you can do

adb reboot sideload

than the device will reboot into sideload mode. After that you can just do

adb sideload <Path to file.zip>

and the ota will be flashed.
[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
Already done. But we don't have downgrade permissions and we only have older OTA updates so it won't let me flash. I will have to build an official OTA rooted, with disabled verification, and fake version update to bypass.. probably everything.
[Nokia 5.4] Alpha_Radke:
And you can't flash payload.bin? I have been gathering as much information and experimenting a little since this is my very first time in the Android development community. And everything seems ready now and should work as intended cuz no place for theories here. First we had the whole source code and OTA. Now we have root access and verification methods. Development starts tomorrow. I will be slow cuz I'm still learning and I'm a lazy college student

:(
[Nokia 5.4] jeunfue:
@Alpha_Radke I am not expert on these things except I have a nokia 5.4 + linux knowledge and willing to test things.

Edit: I see in your other post you upload full ota.zip (1.7gb), however I dont see how this could work with sideload (e.g. if you replace boot.img with magisk patched version) as the cert inside would need to match the cert on /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip on the device afaik? https://boundarydevices.com/android-security-part-2-ota-updates/ explains that usually ota signature verified twice (once during OS being booted, then again inside recovery). I think we will need some signature bypass in sideload mode.

The pubkey inside your payload.bin from the other post is here, if we want to use sideload I think we need the private key corresponding to this (which is protected by HMD on their build servers), so it seems options are:

- leak/compromise hmd to steal the ota private key

- find signature bypass inside sideload (if this sideload is coded by HMD there is honestly a good chance)

- ignore sideload situation and try something else

The payload.bin you posted is a differential OTA, the boot.img inside (and actually all the files) is bsdiff2 file (its only 241 bytes). I extracted using https://github.com/vm03/payload_dumper and just modified it to not sys.exit on SOURCE_COPY. I think if you want to extract boot.img for magisk patching we would either need all OTA parts or a full OTA payload.

Files inside payload.bin:

Another thing to note is that if you boot the Nokia 5.4 into sideload mode, after 5 minutes it will timeout and drop you into Android Recovery mode, sadly it looks quite limited with only reboot, enter fastboot or poweroff. When i went to fastboot mode it is not reachable via fastboot command from SDK, so i assume either proprietary driver needed (like odin) or something else

The HTC Touch Diamond is a great Device and can compete with the iPhone.

But why does it have problems woth the phone features.

Answering calls : have to download software : Answer Key / S2U, to turn of the screen so it does not answer in your pocket

End Calls: After ending a call, why does the keypad appear.

And can it be removed, or turn off so that when i end a call it just ends the call and goes back to the home page of turn screen off

All I need to to be able to answer and end calls with no problem.

Had none of these issues with the HTC Touch.

Hello guys, i have a mi 10t pro, today try after unlock devices 7 days to flashed and downgrade because my battery drain is significative, i had 12.5.1 eea firmware and try to downgrade to 12.0.19, but now phone is in continus reboot in to fastboot, i try to flash with last miflash tool, but after 2sec is tell me that firmware upgrade is complete and now i can't start my smartphone. i can try to flash last rom fastboot 12.5.1 but without result. How i can resolve this problem? thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] chisnz:
When trying to do any major change like a downgrade, you must factory reset. MiFlash should have done that for you, but I guess there's a chance it didn't.

To do a factory reset from Fastboot you can use a compatible version of TWRP and just boot into it (not installing it).

Eg. fastboot boot TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img

From within TWRP you can then do a factory reset and see if it'll boot.

If it still boots into fastboot then you have the option of an alternative ROM. Xiaomi.eu provides a debloated version of the Chinese MIUI ROM. I'm running its latest 12.6 version and it has no problems with battery drain. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-23.61942/

P.s. Explain to me the procedure to start twrp without installing it step by step. Thanks so much ^^
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] chisnz:
To use TWRP to factory reset, first find a compatible TWRP. I used the latest version from:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-un...r-mi-10t-mi-10t-pro-redmi-k30s-ultra.4187427/

which was TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img

Boot into download mode

Then type this exactly (or change to a different file name if you're using a different version of TWRP):

fastboot boot TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img

Once TWRP starts up, go into Advanced, Wipe.

Tick

- data

- cache

- dalvik (dalvik cache)

and select to wipe it.

Reboot system.

That should leave you with no account set up and enable you to boot and setup from scratch in most cases.

I am using the latest EEA fastboot rom for my device, I have tried several versions even earlier but nothing. he says he has completed the procedure but in 1 sec he does absolutely nothing. Do you have solution ideas to try? alternatives to miflash? I also tried to install by extracting the Fastboot rom from inside the rom with flash all.bat, the procedure always go well, but the phone keeps restarting after the MIUI logo every 2sec. I have windows 10 pro i don't know if it is the problem
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] pl1992aw:
Did you execute the code given to you before you flash it?

In Mi-flash, click Driver, then install.

After it's done, reboot your PC.

Then do the

fastboot reboot bootloader

command.

The flashing process should be more than 500 seconds if it's done correctly.

The fastboot ROM should be extracted, not using directly the tgz file.

Rename the extracted folder name short, like "1", and put in C:/ drive.
