[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] JazonX:
System update fails if the device fingerprint doesn't match the firmware fingerprint. By Fingerprint I mean Device ID embedded in Vendor Partition.

Eg: If you have Tencent Hardware with a WW Rom installed on it, and if you haven't edited the fingerprint (Device ID) of the device to WW, It will never accept WW OTA Files automatically, you will always have to use fastboot.

This file is located in the Vendor image, and you can edit it using root explorer.

You can read more here - Changing Fingerprint from CN to WW

Doing this once fixes it for good, and never again you'll have to use manual updates.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Actually, the manual updates will always be required if you unlock the bootloader. The Asus app may or may not be to blame for that.

Fingerprint issues are most often found on devices with the notification about mismatched firmware. This one was something with the active partition or the installer itself. Flashing raw firmware fixed it and restored regular installation.

I'm sure the info will be useful for anyone that thinks they would be able to fix a fingerprint issue by flashing firmware, though, since it won't solve it.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
The more I think about it, this issue may have started when I did an update using the Magisk feature to preserve root using an inactive partition.

I wonder if there was some sort of corruption with the partition it selected after doing it a few times. Something to keep in mind when you update, I guess.

It stuck at boot logo and after a while it restart to twrp.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AJSRO:
I must say... Simply awesome!

I took the recommendation of the guide to change the file system to F2FS and I notice the speed on the phone, when installing the apps and in a general way. Many thanks to the dev for this ROM!

The GApps that did work for me were the NikGApps.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
Everytime the same thing/question...like for all Roms...you have to format data after flashing the Rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RDS.007:
Don't flash dfe.

Read flash guide. That's what I did and boot without any issues
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RDS.007:
Well, data is mandatory if switching roms but you can ignore wiping internal storage but for that

Wipe all except internal storage

Flash rom

Reboot

I never tried this method on cepheus but you can try it
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RDS.007:
Welcome :)

Yes I only recommend nik core gapps since it came with only important gapps and you can flash other google apps from playstore :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] juansan10:
Hello, it is impossible for me to install the rom, I do all the steps, I clean everything as the instructions say, I install the rom, after installing, I erase data and when rebooting the system, it stays in the boot of the rom and it returns me to recovery all the time :-(

I don't know what I'll do wrong but I've tried like 10 times and nothing, I give up.

Thanks for your work and effort in making a great rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RDS.007:
Hii, you came from miui ?

Flash firmware ( chinese ones https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/cepheus/weekly/21.3.10/ )

Then wipe all format data

Reboot to recovery

Set data and cache both to f2fs

Flash rom

Reboot to system ( don't flash any gapps ) just try and let me know .
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] juansan10:
Hi, if it came from Miui rom, I had the latest Stable from Xiaomi.eu V12.5.3.0.

And in what order do I install everything?

The first thing is to install the Chinese firm 21.3.10 and then I do everything else? Or can I download other firmware such as the European firmware fw_cepheus_miui_CEPHEUS_V12.5.3.0.RFACNXM?

Then I delete all the format data

Reboot in recovery

Configure data and cache in f2fs

Flash rom

Reboot the system and I don't install gapps.

Thanks for your help.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RDS.007:
Flashing firmware is must before flashing rom. You can try eu firmware if you want but i don't know if it works. Try both :)

Actually i am new in cepheus and never tried these experiments.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] antykat:
I flashed it without setting data do f2sf. I flashed NickGapps basic and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip. Rom booted and worked normally. After first booting I went back to TWRP and flashed Magisk. Unfortunately it didn't pass Safetynet. Anyway thank you very much for your work.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RDS.007:
For safetynet hide magisk and app probably even playstore. And check safetynet from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freeandroidtools.safetynettest
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] juansan10:
Nothing, there is no way for me to install the rom, I have done all the steps you mention, I have deleted the data, I have installed the Chinese firmware first and then the rom, I have deleted the data at the end of the installation and nothing, I reboot in recovery, I no longer know how to proceed to install.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RDS.007:
Try FLASHING NickGapps basic and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip. Rom booted and worked normally.

Also download again . Maybe file is corrupted while downloading
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] juansan10:
Hello, in the end I was able to install it !!! :D :D

First I installed the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip file, then the Chinese firmware, then the Rom, and finally the NickGapps Core.

When the installation finished I deleted the data and when the system rebooted the Rom started.

Thank you very much for your effort and for bringing us this great rom, I hope everything works very well and has a good battery life.

Hello guys

I have a problem

I have Nokia 808 phone with old Symbian system. I have JoikuSpot app on it. It allows to create hotspot from mobile data on Symbian. And I am able to connect my Arch Linux and Windows 7 to hotspot created by this app.

But my Lenovo IdeaTab A3000-H tablet doesn't detect this hotspot. I have read, that it is because of unsupport of ad-hoc, and JoikuSpot creates ad-hoc network.

I have Custom Rom installed on this tablet - Android 4.4.2 by kupyxa4444_mod.

So question - how to enable ad-hoc support on this tablet and ROM?

Thank you for any replies

Greetings

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] evo85210:
I've bought a second hand OG pixel for its obvious perks.

But i've found it to be extremely laggy and System UI crashes frequently

I believe this is a "rebuild" from scavenged parts, as the IMEI on the SIM card tray and the system don't match

I tried to return it, but the seller said that I upgraded from 8.1 to 10, so they're not accepting it back

it was a face trade and not thru a shop, so there not really any legal means to dispute this return

putting this return issue aside, is there any way to downgrade back to 8.1? I've seen thread online saying 10 is unstable on the OG pixel and that 8.1 runs perfectly smooth.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sle118:
Hello everyone.

That's it. My "good" old Universal finally gave way to a brand new HTC Touch Diamond, as I changed phone provider. Since I am always reluctant to sell my old toys, I am trying to recycle the beast into something usefull.

The great thing about the touch diamond is that it is relatively small compared to the Uni, which makes it handy to carry around as the main phone. The down side of this is that typing on the touch screen isn't the most efficient input method around.

I am looking at various options like the virtual keyboard (a laser projected keyboard), a stowaway keyboard or other bluetooth options. They are expensive, though.

This is why I am writing this email: is there a known tool that would allow me to use the Universal as a bluetooth keyboard emulator? I have looked at Remote Commander, but it can only control a PC, which is not what I am looking for.

Please send your comments!

Thank you!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zapras:
Ohh i see. so you want to use the (big) keyboard on the universal to type out stuff to your htc touch diamond?

I dont know how you would do off hand. But thats an interesting idea. On the first glance though i wouldnt gain much benifit from the universal keyboard anyway maybe 2 times quicker. But if i did get the full size keybaord i could type maybe 10 times faster. But i see your point though that bluetooth keyboards are expenive. You could bit the bullet and sell your universal for exchange for a bluetooth keyboard (I would get a stowaway mainly because i touch type and you cant do it with a laser keyboard)

If you find a way to use your universal as a keyboard let me know how it turns out. Im pretty intrested on how it would work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqroiueq:
I bought this used hd1925 already SIM- and oem(?)- unlocked

I had installed AOSIP 11 on this phone before, but wanted to go to LOS 17.1. To do this, I was instructed on telegram to downgrade the firmware using MSM tool 10.0.36. I've booted OOS 10.0.36, enabled OEM unlock in developer settings, and booted to fastboot. When I tell it `fastboot oem unlock`, I'm told I need an unlock token.

Is it something I should expect could happen that this could get relocked in the same way that persist can get corrupted, or is this a symptom of downgrading? (The phone was on OOS 10.0.42 when I got it.)

I'm currently downloading the patched MSM 10.0.39 tool (many hours of time with the connection I have available) and I've applied to OnePlus for an unlock token (a week, it sounds like), but I'd like a faster solution, if there is one. This is the phone I use every day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
Simply accept that OnePlus will email you the unlock-token only 7 days after your submission.

FYI: If you re-lock phone's bootloader then you simply force bootloader only to load phone's Stock ROM.

Hello there!

I'm in situation were I need advices. I tried to root my phone years back and had no success. I tried it the third time and still have the same issues.

I have to root my phone to withdraw the whatsapp key for the crypt12 databases.

Because of the viruses installed I need professional advice which steps are necessary to root without loosing the data/data/com.whatsapp folder and without infecting my phone/myself with fake dl-links.

The internet is filled with too much scam and desinformation about this phone modell.

That shows my ODIN MODE (Download mode)

my htc TOUCH diamond is all working ok EXCEPT IT resets itself during making and receiving calls, at least once a day

and then i have to wait for it to boot up again

it is really embarasing for me as the people who i talk to think i purpofefuly hang up on them

i dont know what is the problem, i have good reception, (t-mobile - Macedonia)

everything else with my diamond is working flawlessly

but this auto reset during calls at least once a day, and sometimes the inability to answer incoming calls no response from the touchscreen

can someone advise me if anyone of you run into this problem sometime?

i am afraid if it is hardware because theyt are not good service technicians over here, i am afraid to give it to them, cause they will return it scratched or something worse. no good experience with repair sevices here.

as for the firmware i have the standard updated firmware from the htc site of july 2008

please advise any software solution?

and help will be greatly appreciated

Should I list it instead with ulocked BL and running xiaomi.eu ROM instead? Would that shy people away from purchasing?

Original stock firmware is here at http://mifirm.net . If you use the fastboot version it should overwrite the twrp with stock recovery too. Make sure you remove the phone from your mi account too or the new user may have issues.

i would leave it open, you can reinstall the old BL Files from flash_all.bat.

But please take the newest Files.

You can edit the old file create flash_all bat and paste this and flash manually from

fastboot %* flash xbl_ab %~dp0images/xbl.elf || @ECHO "Flash xbl_ab error" && exit 1

fastboot %* flash xbl_config_ab %~dp0images/xbl_config.elf || @ECHO "Flash xbl_config_ab error" && exit 1

fastboot %* flash abl_ab %~dp0images/abl.elf || @ECHO "Flash abl_ab error" && exit 1

fastboot %* flash aop_ab %~dp0images/aop.mbn || @ECHO "Flash aop_ab error" && exit 1

fastboot %* set_active a || @ECHO "Set active a error" && exit 1

fastboot %* reboot || @ECHO "Reboot error" && exit 1

Stable Fastboot | V12.5.7.0.RKACNXM this one you shouldtake. unzip and edit the flash_all.bat

Then you should have the newest BL

On Windows Phone 8.1? No more app store for you after December 16, says Microsoft

Windows Phone 8.1 devices will soon have no place to install or reinstall apps.

www.zdnet.com

MS has cancelled the possibility to use the Store App on devices older than W10M, but is there a chance to work around this?

As long as a Windows 10 mobile is still able to access it, would it be possible to fake the device identiy to pretend a WP 8.1 OS and then get the appropriate app XAP-file for this older version?

Probably anyone knows a way, to retrieve a different version of a Store App just by using HTTP requests and access the URL for the XAP/ APPX files directly.

I own three Interop Unlocked Samsung ATIV S devices for each Windows mobile version 8/ 8.1 / 10.

And I want to install this app to my WP 8.x phones too:

Unfortunately, the binaries on W10m are UWP, and therefore cannot be used.

Instead, the store signals, that it is compatible with WP8, so I guess, there must be a plain .NET version available for download.

Can anyone access it and hand out the binaries to me?
