[General Questions and Answers] MPK99:
What are the different ways to flash dynamic partitions like system_ext, product, vendor, etc... on TWRP. My device came with Android 11 out of the box.

I tried to use updater script method, used img2sdat & brotli to make product.new.dat.br, etc... files, but I get errors related to img2sdat. Here's my issue with img2sdat...

I tried GSI methods, but those flash only system image, not other 3 images.

Also when I build roms, they come with payload.bin, but TWRP throws mount errors for it.

Hello, can you please let me know which ROM you are using, and which custom recovery you are trying to install, TWRP or OrangeFox? Could you also share a screenshot and open the zip folder of the ROM to inspect its contents?

Hello,

I used XiaomiADBFastbootTools to debloat my Poco F3 but now the Cast option doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure if that's the reason but it seems like it was. When I cast my phone detects my TV and my TV tries to connect for a while until it stops. Tried with two different TVs (Samsung and Hisense).

If debloating was the reason: What should I reinstall to make it work it again?

Here are the remaining services after debloating:

Hope anymore can help me.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] blackhawk:
Without knowing their dependencies... things can go amuck.

Downloads looks like it has potential.

Firewall blocking is a another option before you go full nuke. Karma Firewall uses almost no battery, a freeware VPN based firewall.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoocha:
I have a Redmi Note 7 which works. I didn't do anything with Firewalls and similar.

I read somewhere that MiShare, MiConnectService and MiPlayClient might caused the problem but it just made Cast visible in the dropdown status bar. Otherwise same problem.

Here is the debloated stuff:

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] blackhawk:
Clear the system cache, try a network reset.

When you disable apks without knowing their purpose/dependencies and especially when you take the shotgun approach, things tend to screw up.

Start from the beginning, again, if you can't ferret it out.

I prefer to use a package disabler app because you can easily enable/disable on the fly.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoocha:
I cleared cache and reset network. Didn't work. Then I reisntalled all the bloatware. Still no effect. Then I tried to change my WiFi from 5Ghz to 2.4Ghz if that might cause troubles but also nothing.

How can I fix it? What else can I try?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] blackhawk:
So you undid all the changes you made?

Try a hard reboot. Same for the associated devices.

That's why I don't like playing with ADB much.

Is the cause there or is it a setting misconfiguration? The answer may be something simple but finding it may not be.

I don't use casting, check it's Google settings.

Maybe try clearing Google play Services data, it's harmless to do so. I do that a lot.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoocha:
I think simply hard restarting my TV made the trick. At least that's what I did and it works now.

I still wanna debloat so what is safe to keep this function? This time I will disable instead of uninstall.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] blackhawk:
Yay! Well it's your experiment... fun isn't it?

Been nice if all the junk wasn't there but it still beats a bloody ugly iPhone by a country mile🤣
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] pl1992aw:
Yes experiment. Debloat app one by one, so you know which app cause the cast to malfunction.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] blackhawk:
Probably a Google app. There's a couple others that look like candidates, and a bunch almost certainly aren't. Start with prime suspects.

You can try using a Google Search to find clues to what each apk does. Sometimes you do.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoocha:
I tested around but somehow casting doesn't work anymore. I debloated step by step during casting and conncection didn't close. Then later I had same issues like before. I did the same things like before to make it work again (enable everything, restart, reset conenctions) but nothing works. Enabling Certificate of Wireless Display also didn't do anything.

Could a factory reset help? Does a factory reset also revert all my debloating experiments or would uninstalled bloatware stay uninstalled? What would be the best I can do now?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] blackhawk:
A factory reset will get it. I recommend you find the root cause though or you're likely to just do all over again.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] pl1992aw:
When you try disable one by one, it will not cut the already connected cast immediately.

Factory reset should help. If you need cast, but don't want to face more issues, then don't debloat.

To see the actual effect of debloat, it's done like this:

1) connect cast -> connected ok

2) disconnect cast

3) debloat 1 app -> then reboot phone

4) connect cast -> to check if that app affect your cast

then repeat.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoocha:
I did a factory reset but it didn't work for unknown reasons. Then I tried out using Google Home on an Android TV which worked. It also worked on my TV with Fire TV Stick 4K using Airscreen but the casting quality seems worse than Mi cast function. Regular YouTube casting also worked.

Does anyone know why it doesn't work anymore even after a factory reset? Is there maybe something I can still do? Is the culprit maybe something that doesn't change after reset? I also did a factory reset with my TV without success. It just tries to connect all time and stops.

Is this maybe a MIUI problem? I'm using global ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Nemix77:
You should have reinstalled all of the debloated apps, then clear the cache using Cleaner and then proceed to do a factory reset.

If you still have the option to do so from the first step, try it out.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoocha:
I reinstalled everything before I reset and maybe I did clear cache too. I can't remember. Does the Cleaner app also clear hidden stuff?

Does factory reset hurt hardware much or not worth worrying about it? Otherwise I would give it another try.

Is there maybe another possibilty to fix it?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] blackhawk:
Factory resets are a waste of time unless the OS is old or damaged. It pretty hard to corrupt a stock Android OS. 3rd party apps can do it though or alter hidden settings not readily accessible. The only other reason for a factory reset is a major OS upgrade.

Otherwise don't do it; find the root cause and correct it. If you don't find the root cause you'll like just end up chasing your tail as the issue will likely return after the factory reset.

Lazy and inept techs push factory resets because it's easier than doing it the right way🤣

My current OS load is over a year old, still fast and stable despite heavy usage. I had issues that I could have resorted to a factory reset to "solve" but I tracked down the root causes and corrected them. I learned by doing so as well. After being corrected they didn't impact the performance of my heavily optimized system.

All I do is routine maintenance like with SD Maid and occasional scans with Malwarebytes. I check the download folder for crap that doesn't belong there regularly. At some point I will do a factory reset and to that end all my critical data is backup and ready to go.

Android is a very stable and long lived platform if used properly.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoocha:
What else can I try to find out the root? Undo debloating and factory reset doesn't work and I doubt and hope that I didn't mess up hardware somehow.

Airscreen/Chromecast works and I think TVs use Miracast right? Can this information help for further experiments?

Solution during I wrote this: Enabling "Disable Bluetooth A2DP Hardware" option seems to work. I should be satisfied but what does this mean for my original problem? I didn't do anything with this option before. Is the root of my problem now more traceable?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] blackhawk:
Factory reset completely restores the original OS no matter what you did previously unless you reflashed the firmware.

You found the issue, problem solved.

A 3rd party app may have toggled that setting unknown to you at the time. It can happen during an app uninstall as well.

Just be happy it was an easy fix🤗
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Vipul9254:
Download the latest version of mi cast apk from apkmirror and install it, i also faced this issue with samsung tv, i updated the cast app manually and now its working without any issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoocha:
I was about to complain again cause after testing it on a Samsung TV (never worked there) and uninstalling bloatware like TikTok manually with phone it stopped working again on my main TV (Hisense). It's driving me crazy cause I don't know the root of it.

Downloading the APK worked however. Thanks for this simple but powerful tip. Maybe it's an issue with permission or something similar. I can't find the Cast app itself in my settings but during the installation I had to set them and installing the APK also didn't update the app which is weird I think. It's more like it replaced it.

Does anyone know how I can access the Cast app and its settings? Maybe this will help in future.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Vipul9254:
goto settings/apps/manage apps/click on three dot on upper right side corner/click on show all apps/ then serach for cast app u will see it.

Hi,

[OnePlus 9 Pro] thirtythr33:
I am on 11.2.4.4 (AA) and after reading about the success others were having I decided to take an incremental update, which shows up as 11.2.6.6 (unlocked/verizon). I followed the instructions found in many places, which consisted of restoring image in magisk, taking the incremental update, when finished I did not reboot, and then installed magisk to inactive slot. upon reboot my system still shows 11.2.4.4, and in the system update page it is still asking me to reboot, as if I needed to hit the system restart button in system update, which is very odd. also, I was running omega kernel, and after installing the update the kernel is back to stock, but for some reason the system has not updated and is still stuck on 11.2.4.4, and still has system reboot button on update setting screen. has anyone ran into this issue, and does anyone know how I should proceed? I am afraid if I hit reboot on the update setting screen that I will have some issue. I have also rebooted multiple times, yet the system has not updated. any help with this issue will be greatly appreciated!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] hallo dare:
When rooted you need the full update, not an incremental
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Libra420T:
You need to install 11.2.4.4 full update again in local update then the incremental will install 😊 👍
[OnePlus 9 Pro] thirtythr33:
I've never heard of this method, where did you do this yourself and it worked? reinstalling a full update via local update actually forced your incremental update to take? also, how would this work when I would be installing things to different slots?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] thirtythr33:
so you are basically in the same boat as me? an incremental update is not taking? yeah thanks for reporting that, I was skeptical about that method, but I'm thinking I'll try it anyway. if not, guess I'll have to wait until AA releases a full update other than 11.2.4.4
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nathan.7118391:
Maybe you can download the full version of the 11 .2.4.4 from here and start over. The custom kernel combined with root may have messed it up. Happy modding!

Edit: only take full updates when rooted.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] thirtythr33:
I know the thing is up until this point I've always went for full os updates, never incremental, but after reading many posts about other members taking incremental updates successfully, (restore images in magisk - take update - don't reboot - then install magisk to inactive slot) I decided to try it myself, and I should have never bothered. I'll just wait until a new full update comes out for AA and never bother with incremental again. thing is I followed instructions to the T, yet it didn't work, so I don't know how others have been successful with this.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Libra420T:
Yeah it does work 😡

Or I wouldn't have gave advice 🤦‍♂️

ota 11.2.4.4 twice, and 11.2.7.7 will install....
[OnePlus 9 Pro] thirtythr33:
so since the incremental update I tried to apply is somehow "stuck" you are saying to local update 11.2.4.4 and then upon reboot 11.2.6.6 will be installed? and are you saying to ota 11.2.4.4 twice because of the slot I am on and would need to get back to that slot for the incremental update to apply? I am willing to try this but I've never heard of it, but hey if it works man then I am grateful
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Libra420T:
😂 all good hdr is add to video but that's basically it. but method does work, did it on both my 9pro's
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Samuel Holland:
Hi, I just wanted to add that on the AA version(unlocked US version from OnePlus) the boot image have to match for the inc to install. Also I'm using props hide module and to manually select the OTA this has to be disabled (reverted). I ran into some issues at first but hopefully have it figured out.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] tech_head:
So I decided to go to the EU version of the OS.

I did that on my 7 Pro and didn't have any issues.

So I'm on 11.2.6.6, running on Verizon with no issues.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] dkcats3:
Here is my theory on why people are failing OTA. I think maybe their A and B slots dont have matching content before they OTA. Try using the lineageOS script to duplicate the active to the inactive slots first. I'm curious if that does the trick.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Libra420T:
yes local update needs to be down twice...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Dashwood Foxe:
Would I have to wipe everything if I'm already on 6.6?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] thirtythr33:
I decided to take your advice bro but I'm getting update installation error. I've tried a few times now and the full 11.2.4.4 I have will not install. so I'm unable to even install the full ota, did this happen to you? thing is the 11.2.6.6 incremental ota that didn't install is no longer in system update, now 11.2.7.7 is, so I don't know what is exactly going on bc my system still reports 11.2.4.4. any help is appreciated

[Introductions] chunk9:
I always thought these introductions in forums were most classy.

Lemme start off my saying that I am a white (vaaguely gray) hat defensive hacker that luvs to program, graaphic design aand tinker with my hardware.

I HAATE HATE the youtube world of FRP unlocking and I quit doing that for all my dope ppl long time ago. As it simply pisses me off. Nowadays I tinker with server software (linux exclusively, what the hell is windows?) aand I am an XMPP chat server operator (TooFast.vip). I go through a lot of operating systems aand aare quite hard on equipment. Right now I am using a small form faactor i5 Lenovo w/ DDR3 thin client aalmost mini PC with things plugged into it ^^..

I know I've been here before but google is doing whack stuff so eff them aanywaaays. Sorry for my quaaadruple aaaaaas cuz my keyboard is meh.... Hard on equipment lul.

Right now I haave been working on two Motorola phones, an XT 2002 (i think, the Sirfna) aaaaand a XT2052-1 (Moto E7 2020).

HAPPY AS EVER! I maade aa script out of the img files aaand the XML file that tells me what order to flaash the things in as and included in it the img's for my magisk_patched_boot.img and TWRP. My next mission is to get TWRP fully functional aand then tell ppl on here how I managed to do it. Since I've been watching and nobody knows much on that particular one :D YAY ROOOOT.

I am also a command line junky and I have an oddball youtube channel <a href="https://youtube.com/the8woodcutter" target="_blank"> The8Woodcutter </a> that I'm sure nobody will find spammy but perhaps boring if nothing else. Snowrunner and Eve Online are my favorite games! I am TM the Adventures in Command Line. Someday that will be very very rich with good things.

If you want to join an underground chat server place more secure than IRC (XMPP) that is where ppl like us (I assume) dwell. That's decentralized and steer you on the right path in the "hacking" and tinkering aand tech open source world please do get an account (message me and I caan add you one on TooFast.vip) get https://gajim.org for desktop windows or linux or conversations.im or blabber.im. On Gajim you can check services on my XMPP server we have chats about linux, computing, hardcore techno and/or any music, as well as aartwork and a cool semi-frequent bunch of folks. I caan show you around. Welcome to open source (i aam a big faan).

Looking forward to hopefully coming back here and actually for once being a paart of this community!

Once and for all, choose the rom you are using and explain why if you can.

I currently have the Chinese rom and i have notificatios problems and some Chinese stuff cant be uninstalled.

I was wondering if its worth it switching to EU since im afraid it will destroy the battery.

I have way better battery life with the EU Rom than the previous global Rom which was installed from the beginning. I am super happy with the phone except camera performance. It's not always performaning as stable as I was used to with my Huawei mate 20 pro.

Xiaomi EU.

I have the EEA model... I was unhappy with how slow the updates were, so I unlocked the bootloader and flashed Xiaomi.EU ROM (stable). So far so good. Battery life, while not spectacular, has been slightly better and the phone doesn't overheat while doing simple tasks anymore.

Coming from stock global I tried Xiaomi EU but didn't like so I got back to global but the EEA version which is MIUI 12.5,for me it is the best rom if you are in Europe and you have a global phone
