[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
Trying to find out if there are any bad USB port connections complaints here, but it looks like this problem is not very common, that's good - hope that Google will quickly take care of repairs. It started, suddenly, cutting out while connected to PC, it goes on and off generating in a very short time a dozen or so warnings on the PC monitor:" The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" The cable isn't the culprit, I tried 3 others w/ the same results plus, my other phone connection works flawlessly.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Jacko321:
Hello. I've been trying to install a custom rom on my phone (9s Global) but both TWRP and OrangeFox give me Error 1 and I can't do anything to fix the problem. My phone is running Android 11. OF gives me an obscure message but TWRP gives me a fail error when mounting some partitions.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Jacko321:
I tried to install it again but OrangeFox didn't even give me an error code, just a simple error when installing the zip file.

Is the recovery supposed to mount the system partition? I can't select it in OrangeFox and I can't do anything to solve my problem.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Unbreakeable:
Hey guys,

it's been 3,5 years since I've had a Oneplus 5 and couldn't root the other phone that I had during that time.

I'm happy to be back but feel like this device isn't nearly as popular as what the previous models (at least till the 5) have been.

I feel like here's much less root related stuff (like custom Roms) to be found.

Can someone give me an update or correct me if I'm wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Bunecarera:
Twrp has been out since 20th June...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Pain-N-Panic:
Not only is TWRP a factor, but the evolution of android as a hole. Rooting isn't necessary these days to achieve desired results. My only intention on rooting my op9 pro is to remove the annoying bloatware from T-Mobile.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] sultan.of.swing:
I feel like rooting/custom roms really are not worth it anymore.

The custom roms are designed to make the device better but in my experience you end up with more issues than you initially had when stock.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] oulouloul:
you dont have to flash custom rom when you root your phone. I use root acces for these: block ads, debloating unwanted system apps, some deep theming with swift installer and custom kernels. for example omega kernel is better than oneplus kernel now. especially while we all know that Oneplus heavily throttling well known apps.

you dont have to flash custom rom when you root your phone.

regards
[OnePlus 9 Pro] gr4nis:
Well, that is your opinion. From my perspective, I'm not happy with basic Android or provided extension and want to flash whatever suits me better and customize as much as I can. And rooting is must have for some specific apps I need, but generally usefull for proper ad-blocking.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] terlynn4:
I felt that way at first, coming from a OP7P where my phone had been heavily modded the whole 2 years I used it and I tried about every custom ROM and kernel available. Then I bought the OP9P on release day and there wasn't anything posted in the Dev section for about 2 months. But there were some challenges early on with a brand new device, Android 11, no TWRP until last month, etc., so development is just now really picking up. I expect to see more and more in the coming months.

And like others have said, a lot of us who used to always use custom ROMs have found other ways to mod without having to rely on ROMs, which can sometimes be a hassle. With root, custom kernels, and a whole slew of magisk modules to choose from, I personally don't have a reason to switch to a custom ROM right now, other than boredom.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Unbreakeable:
Hey guys,

I've been unable to root my previous Huawei phone which I've had for 3,5 years.

It seems like a lot has changed and I'm slowly getting back into things.

What are your experiences with different Kernels and custom Roms on this device?

(If it matters) I have an EU model and use it mainly for reading and watching videos.

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
Look in dev thread several custom Roma 2 custom kernels. Flash and test yourself
[OnePlus 9 Pro] jkt97401:
Both the Omega and Blu Spark kernels are promising, they give some nice features and performance increases over stock.

There's not a ton of activity going on in the custom ROM development department but I think that will change over time. There certainly ARE some ROM's being developed but I tried the LineageOS ROM a few weeks ago and though there weren't any major issues, the performance wasn't quite where I needed it to be to consider it as a daily driver for MY needs.

Are you familiar with unlocking the bootloader/SIM unlocking on this device? What about using an MSM tool to unbrick/restore your device in the case of a bad flash? If you're unfamiliar with any of these topics I would do some research and learn the ins and outs (Especially the MSM tool) before you go diving into flashing things onto your phone!

Have a great day :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
try and see how it works, everyone has different preferences.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] jkt97401:
Anyways! If you have any further questions or need guidance, feel free to PM me or post again here.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Icculus760:
Trying to get the thread back on track -- I've been using Omega kernel and have had great results with it. Improved battery w/o any performance issues. Haven't tried any ROMs yet as there are issues with some of them and TWRP isn't 100% working, but if you don't have a problem wiping your device and losing your data/settings after giving them a go, I'd do what the first reply suggested and simply try them out for size.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] terlynn4:
I second this. I've been using Omega since the first or second release and it's fantastic. Definitely a difference in battery life, and the device runs cooler than stock even when gaming or watching videos on high brightness.

I tried BluSpark briefly a few weeks ago. Seems promising, but Omega seems to be a better fit for me. I also tried ButterLimits mod, but I'm still not quite sure what it's doing exactly and I didn't notice a difference, so I didn't stick with it. Haven't tried any custom ROMs yet.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Rafik3D:
Hello, I need someone to explain to me the issue I’m facing with my phone. So I have a Xiaomi

Redmi note 8 pro (256GB Chinese version) that was working just fine until I installed the update of Android 11. After the update, google services was not working. I proceeded to unlock it and flashing it with the Mi Flash because I wanted to change the ROM to the global version, I chose the “clean all” option instead of “clean all and lock”. After the flash completed the phone showed an error (with a statement I did not pay attention to or read) and then it didn’t turn on (and only the LED was on). I tried to flash it again but it didn’t fix it. After that, I found a tool to bypass Xiaomi protection and I flashed it again with SP flash tool and switched it to the Global version (StockROM file after extraction= 6GB). It remained bricked so I flashed it back to the Chinese ROM with StockROM firmware upgrade, yet the phone is still broken but the LED is sometimes on (always on when I put it to charge). Can anyone help me please?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] paddy01:
I just upgraded my phone from BTJ4 to DUF9 and everything seems to be correct except when I try to re-install Magisk to get root again .. after patching the boot.img.lz4 file(via boot.tar) and installing it via Odin AP the phone just enter a bootloop with the black screen and Samsung logo on it.

I've tried everything I can come up with but I get nowhere.. I've tried Magisk v22 and v23 - same result, tried installing with BL+CP+CSC/BL+CP+CSC with vbmeta_disable in USER and the patched magisk boot image in AP .. still no luck.

Magisk seem happy patching both with v22 and v23 so that seems correkt. The file grows from ~20k as boot.tar to ~60k as magisk_patched tar - which I guess is ok..

Would appreciate any help in getting this to work.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] paddy01:
Tried Canary build of Magisk - didn't help.

Installed TWRP according to above .. didn't work at all. Now the phone is completely dead, only thing that boots i TWRP Recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] paddy01:
Correction - without flashing anything at all with TWRP I can actually boot into the phone ..

Correction 2 - when I flash the multidisabler-samsung-3.1.zip it stops the phone from booting.

Correction 3 - so after finally trying just about everything I can come up with it seems as when anything at all touches the boot or system partitions it stops the phone from booting normally.

If I just install the rom with twrp+vbmeta everything works as it should. If I then flash anything at all, doesn't matter what, it stops working. If I flash a magisk patched image - it stops booting.

So.. now I'm stuck.. I have no more ideas.

I even installed the previous release DUE4 with the same result.

I tried patching the complete AP file with magisk - same result.. phone refuses to boot normally.

If I do the Magisk patch file patching before doing the first system boot after upgrading it does the optimize apps thingie but then after rebooting it stops with a bootloop. And by the way under all this TWRP gets replaced with the default Android recovery .. no matter what I do - the internal SD card is no longer encrypted tho so I guess the multidisabler has done its thing.

Only thing I have NOT tried yet is a complete factory reset.. but I don't know if that would make any difference ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] paddy01:
So ended up with a full wipe and installing BeyondROM .. now the phone is rooted and booting with twrp functioning.

O well.. the fun begins restoring everything again..

Is there a possibility to have root? Custom recovery? I think that would be the only way to get funtouchos.

Android auto doesnt work on originos .
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Mohamedkam000:
It's not required to have root or any kind of modifications to disable system apps, it can be disabled, but for a specific user, if you're not sharing the phone with anyone, then it'll be like if you're just disabling the package completely.

You need to use ADB, run the command:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.bbkmusic

Or whatever the package name is that you want to disable. Just be careful, sometimes disabling the wrong package may cause bootloops.

[Realme 6 Pro Questions & Answers] The_Serious:
So i got A29 build and i dont want any updates. I have turned of aito night update, i have turned off auto system update in developer options but i still keep getting proposals to install an update like twice a day. That is annoying. How can i kill an app so taht would stop bugging me? Thanks!
[Realme 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Descent2:
I am sure I do not know the best ways, but here are the ways I have written down so far (I too, never want any updates). Looks like 1,2 and 3 require no root, and 6 is just a good point to remember:

1 - check "Software Update" screen: (Settings > Software Update)

2 - check “Automatic system updates” screen:

a - Settings > About Phone > Software Information > tap "Buld Number" 7 to 10 times to enable "Developer Mode"

b - Settings > Developer options > Automatic system updates

3 - purchase and sideload the Package Disabler Pro app (disables OTA forever)

4 - on AmazonKindle, deleting the /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip will prevent updates since their signatures can't be verified by the device

5 - chown root and chmod 755 the /cache partition can do the same as above (but will it affect recovery?)

6 - while you work on a phone to disable the updates, do not forget not to insert a SIM and not to connect to WiFi, untill the OTA is fully blocked / disabled.

As for how to get rid of the NAG about the updates already downloaded and waiting for the installation, i THINK you might want to wipe cache? Because that's where they are stored while waiting?

It is good that you do not have the A/B system device, where the damn updates are installed on the fly!

If nothing works, this is why I always need root. Because the manufacturer pushes me to, leaves me no way out to just peacefully coexist, they just have to force feed their updates to us. Good luck bro.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FakeGemstone:
[Sorry, this belongs in the Q & A area, but there's no option to delete or move it.]

Here are the hardware button combinations that work on my OnePlus 6T:

[volume up + power] hold until you see the red dot logo, then release theyour phone will boot to system.

[volume down + power] hold for a few seconds until the black and white keyboard appears (maybe the keyboard is only if you have a login PIN set up?) this will boot the phone to recovery mode.

[volume up + volume down + power] hold for a few seconds until you see the Fastboot label then release. This will put the in bootloader mode.

Starting with the phone powered off and NOT connected to your computer, press and hold [volume up + volume down] as you plug the phone into your computer. This will put the phone into EDL mode, which is required in order to use the MSM tool. The screen of the phone will be black but if you followed the procedure the Qualcomm device should appear under the Ports section of Windows Device Manager.

I was unable to get to FastbootD. Here's what happened when I tried various commands:

1.) when in regular fastboot (bootloader) mode and connected to my PC via USB, from a command prompt I typed "fastboot reboot fastboot" the phone only rebooted to the operating system and not to the fastbootD screen.

2.) when in bootloader, as above, I typed "fastboot reboot bootloader", the phone rebooted to the regular fastboot screen. However, I suspected this was not the same thing as "fastboot reboot fastboot" because why would there be 2 identical commands?

3.) the "adb reboot" command would not work when I was in bootloader mode. Duh! I needed to be in ADB mode for ADB commands to work. In bootloader mode I needed to use a Fastboot command. Still, I had downloaded and unzipped the latest adb/fastboot tools and set up the Windows PATH to point to the unzipped folder. Also, I checked the version numbers of both from the command prompt but still [fastboot reboot fastboot] only rebooted my phone to system. What the heck!?

4.) this all seemed to happen after booting into EDL mode the day before. I booted into EDL mode so I could check if I had the proper Qualcomm driver installed (incase I had to use the MSM tool --yes the driver was installed and functioning). I didn't actually need to use the MSM tool at that time so I didn't ever run it but I'd had some difficulty getting the phone to reboot to system so I assumed my trouble with fastbootD originated with that. Wrong!

SOLUTION: It turned out to be a hidden instance of outdated adb/fastboot that kept running in lieu of the newly downloaded copies, in spite of my having correctly set up the Windows PATH. (more on this below in my reply of Jan 9, 2022).
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenora_I:
So adb reboot recovery

And

adb reboot bootloader

Dosent work?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FakeGemstone:
adb reboot recovery does work. Weirdly, adb reboot bootloader will work ONCE then if I try to issue the command a second time, adb can't see my device. If I unplug the phone from USB, restart the phone then plug it back in, I can again use adb once.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenora_I:

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenora_I:
The words fastboot. Will be shown
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FakeGemstone:
I can get to fastboot. Just not by using the volume up + power combo and I can't re-enter fastboot by using [fastboot reboot fastboot] from the command line. The command line issue is of more importance, ultimately, but I think it's reasonable to assume the root cause of both is the same since they happened at the same time.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] psychen6:
Can you check if System>Developer Options>Advanced Reboot is enabled?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
It changed at some point and OP never updated their docs. (I think it changed when A10 hit).

To get into fastboot mode. You now have to make sure you're not connected to USB and hold vol+, vol-, and power and that will launch fastboot mode.

Also maybe semi related if it's not launching at all, is to do a factory reset from within the OS. I had a really odd issue recently with recovery mode and it not booting into recovery from fastboot, adb, or key combo press. Factory reset from within the OS somehow fixed it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FakeGemstone:
Yes, I have this option enabled. Using this method is one of the ways I am able to get to fastboot. I am just not able to get to fastboot using [fastboot reboot fastboot] from a command prompt (used to work just fine) and I am not able to get to fastboot by holding the [volume up + power] (this also used to work just fine).
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FakeGemstone:
I don't know about that. A few days ago volume up + power used to work just fine. Also a few days ago, I also used to be able to issue fastboot reboot fastboot from a command line and have it work fine.

Now what happens when issue the command fastboot reboot fastboot is that my phone appears to begin the reboot cycle. A message in the command window appears, "rebooting into fastboot" then on the next line, "< waiting for any device >" and meanwhile my phone just boots into the Oxygen OS. If at that point I select "bootloader" from the advanced power button menu, the phone reboots into fastboot and the message in the command window reads, "fastboot: error: failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable."

If I then issue the command, fastboot reboot bootloader, that reboots promptly into fastboot, but I don't believe "bootloader fastboot" is the same thing as "userspace fastboot", although the states look identical on the screen.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FakeGemstone:
After revisiting this issue again and reading every post I could find I realized the only explanation was outdated fastboot, and since they're packaged together, adb also. This time I did a extra thorough search of all the drives and sure enough there was a super old instance of adb.exe & fastboot.exe in a place I'd never thought to look. So I deleted those files and now adb and fastboot work as expected.

I know, it seems obvious now. But there were references to those old files in windows system settings that took precedence over my PATH setting that I didn't realize were there. Ive since deleted those other references but I wanted to mention this in case other people are wondering why the PATH they set up isn't working.
