[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] enigma14:
Hello everybody,

quick question for you. I started modding OPO and now after years I am using project elixir on my k20pro, in terms of backup from the ofox recovery, would you recommend to periodically backup also:

- modem: fw config file

- efs: HW config file like wifi, bt, imei. In case of issues having a backup of IMEI is fundamental I would say

- partition: sensors and modules config file. in case of issues it could be necessary having them!?

what is your opinion?

thanks
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] LyNChP1N:
Always best to keep a copy of your persist, efs and modem partitions in case something gets corrupted.

They are hard to fix without a backup.

Restoring persist and sensor data does not always go as planned on this device. It is a good idea to keep a backup though. You will get better results by flashing from stock and clean installing your rom becausea lot oftimes firmware restore ends up in error or system refuses to boot up after restore. You can check up on such issues below

https://xdaforums.com/t/common-issu...-sensor-issues-bluetooth-and-calling.4552475/

Always the safest bet is to flash fastboot rom of miui 10.3.5 based on android 9(software that the phone ships with) and then upgrade from there to any rom you want(newer custom roms will probably need stock miui12 installed first-they will mention it in instructions and you can go to stock miui12 from stock 10.3.5)

In my experience this gets rid of many issues related to fingeprint calibration, screen brightness, call issues, bluetooth issues, camera calibration. Every other way messes up sensor data and persist partition..

In fact, stock miui 11 and 12 dont work as well as stock miui 10. They have a lot of fingerprint, bluetooth, calling and other hardware issues.(especially with replacement displays)I have tried them all(including xiaomi.eu) except custom roms like pixel experience and lineage.

Encryption on android versions and recoveries to use

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

******Always recommended to disable lockscreen and backup internal storage files before doing any recovery operations/ system partition related operations/ Rom flash as you can potentially lose your internal storage files **********************
​

1. All TWRP versions need OF AVB Patcher file flashing after flashing recovery to make sure that recovery does not get replaced(has nothing to do with encryption). Orangefox handles this on its own.

2. If you have flashed Disable force encryption(DFE) zip, your internal storage and data partition are unencrypted even if it says encrypted in phone settings. You can use any recovery version if you flash dfe and stay decrypted.

3. If you have encryption, you will need to use following versions.

*****Always Check Rom support thread/group to confirm which recovery to use.

Android 9-11 - TWRP 3.7 or Orangefox 11.1_4

Android 12 - Most roms use unofficial orangefox FBev1

Android 13 - Most roms use Unofficial orangefox 11.1_2 FBev1

Dynamic Partition Roms- Dynamic unofficial orangefox using fbev2

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
Hello there friends, I have a question and wanted to ask if somebody else came across this issue as well. After few small issues about phone's screen I found a small bug when pictures are being processed, includes screenshots.

When I take picture, depends on light and colour - can take up to 10 seconds to appear in gallery

Or when I take screenshot and I crop it - sometimes that takes long time till it saves, also around 10 seconds..

I'm not sure if that's normal, but I didn't came across this issue before so that's why I wanted to ask
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] si3wc4:
This isn't normal. For me, saving screenshots and pictures (even in full 64MPix) takes less than one second since they appear in gallery...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
I see, thank you for the reply. In my case, it appears like that when I take first picture. If I take multiple after that, those work normally and appear quicker. No clue what could it cause
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] JoudaCZE:
Good news, issue was fixed by updating to MIUI 12.5

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] durrant111:
Hi and thanks for reading--

I followed this guide for my new LG820UMBK Verizon Unlocked:

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-lg-g8...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/

I flashed the engineer abl_a and abl_b and my first hangup was to enter Fastboot mode I hold Vol+ instead of Vol- as the guide says. But it tooks several reboots and flashing back to the backup abl to figure that out. My device in Fastboot mode isnt recognized by my PC with the fastboot devices command. It is recognized by Device Manager however as Other devices: Android.

Upon boot it gets stuck at VZW splash screen. I can enter EDL mode but when I try to restore my backup abl_a+b it says Data Overflow do you wish to continue. If I select yes it wont flash the backup abl with the size of 32,768 kb. It leaves the abl files at 1,024 kb which was the size of the engineer file.

I can boot to Fastboot but my fastboot devices commands can't see the device. In Device Manager like I said in Fastboot mode it just shows up as Other Devices: Android. On the Verizon spash screen it appears in Device Manager as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM3) and in EDL mode it shows up under Ports as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM11).

I ran the LG Mobile Support Tool and it installed all the proper drivers it says. Maybe I dont have the adb/fastboot drivers? I tried to find them in the SDK but its way more complicated than it used to be. I havent rooted since the LG G2 lol.

Any ideas or help would be so awesome. Its basically bricked cause I cant flash the ABL backups. LGUP program doesn't recognize the device, I did download the correct G820UM20i_00_VZW_US_OP_1124.kdz file so maybe i'll just attempt to restore the stock rom. Can I do that with QFIL??

I cant believe I'm the only person this happened to....

Thanks for any thoughts!!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] durrant111:
So I forgot to eject my micro SD card, I know so dumb. I am now able to fastboot. I tried to flash the original abl_a and b with fastboot and it is telling me Error Flashng Partition: Volume Full. Same issue I was having in QFIL basically. How do I restore the abl files ughhhhh.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] cucukaka:
you can fomat data : - and power before click power
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] cavjr08:
Boot to EDL mode by holding the vol - and power button while your G8 is plugged in your computer, after you hear a disconnection sound immediately press the vol + until you hear a connection sound from your computer.

Now, open QFIL then look for the abl a and b then flash your backed up abl_a nd abl_b accordingly and reboot. And you're good to go again.

I am having some issues with rooting my g8 at&t I managed to successfully unlock the bootloader but now I am stuck in a bootloop after trying to flash magisk. I can start in edl mode or download mode and that is all. My phone flashes the lg splash screen for a split second over and over it doesn't matter if I flash my backup adl files or boot files it just keeps doing the same thing. What am I missingm
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Ratty696:

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] armodons:
Gonna need more details. What steps did you take to try to flash magisk that resulted in the bootloop?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Ratty696:
Used method in beginning of this thread. Tried flashing backup

I used the method in that thread to unlock and try to root. When I flashed majisk is when my problem started. I have tried flashing the backup files I made but that doesn't help either
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] armodons:
So you are saying you bootloop after you use QFIL to flash Magisk-patched boot_a and boot_b? Do "backup files" mean the original boot_a and boot_b that you flash back using QFIL?

If so, you should double check you are flashing the correct partitions in QFIL because neither of these steps seem like they can result in bootloop. LGUP and start over.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Ratty696:
Yes when I used QFIL to flash magus isvwgen it started abd flashung original boot_a and boot_b dont fix it. I can't get kdz file for at&t to lg up.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I'm new to the G8 (not LG), so just now browsing these posts.

First and foremost, this thread shouldn't be in this forum. This forum is for roms, kernels, recoveries and other development.

This thread is a question about a guide (which is in guides forum). This 'question' is not development of a rom, kernel or recovery, it's a question.

I'd suggest, if you want people to respond that can help, ask the question in it's individual guide thread, that's where the people that know the most about it will be. If you get no response in that thread, then maybe think about posting the question in the questions forum.

but here? in dev forum? absolutely the wrong place for a question about a guide.

@durrant111

So to the original OP; 2 things; If your device isn't recognized when in fastboot mode, that's because you don't have the right driver installed in WinBlows.

You have to download the LG USB drivers, install them, then in device manager select the "! Android" and install the driver (usually says ADB) and then 'fastboot devices' will see the phone.

Second; if you ever get a message telling you that 'Data Overflow' then you are absolutely making a big mistake. When you did the backup of your abl(s) (and other partitions), you should have renamed then one by one, that way you don't make the mistake of naming the laf_a partition as the abl_a partition (or any name other than what ti should be). If you flash the wrong partition you run the risk of overwriting the nearby partition, which would make the device essentially unusable except only to qfil.

Lastly, yer lucky the device is VZW, as they make their kdz available and you can use use lg up to get back to stock. If it was Sprint or At&t you'd be scrambling to find a qfil or bkerler backup someone luckily made that you come across (a much more unlikely scenario).

Good luck, you've probably already moved on from this, but just in case, thought I'd mention the above.

cheers
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Unfortunately at&t doesn't make their kdz available. You can be 99.9% positive the only thing this person that wants to charge you 30$ is going to give you is the partitions backed up by qfil or bkerler edl stuff.

With both at&t and sprint, because no kdz, you can only restore (if you didn't back up the files yourself originally), with someone elses backup, and then you have to use qfil or bkerler edl utilities to restore. If you look around in the G8 forums (or the tele group), there's a decent chance someone has already make their backup available.

cheers and good luck.

Hi guys

My phone was dropped in the water. I gave time to it and make it dry by hairdryer and put it in rice to absorb its humidity. Then I opened the back panel and made it drier. INow when I press the power button nothing happened. Just when I connect it to the charger, the charging logo and then start screen appear and shows 1 percent charge, is charging and then disappear. it repeats without starting normally. What is your remarks folks?
[OnePlus Nord CE 5G] XDHx86:
Something is shorted, just send it to someone to fix it and tell them it's water damage.
[OnePlus Nord CE 5G] blackhawk:
Disconnect the battery immediately.

Rice does nothing.

Get some anhydrous (99%) isopropyl alcohol* and liberally flush the entire phone with it to absorb the moisture.

Use low pressure compressed dry oil free air to blow out as much of the alcohol as possible.

Do it in a dry room and it is flammable.

After you get it as dry as possible allow to dry in a warm, dry room with a fan on it.

Let it rest for at least several days.

Reconnect the battery and see what you got.

* never use isopropyl alcohol or any solvent around an LCD display, it will poison it. Should be safe for AMOLED displays. Try to prevent it from getting in between the display and the glass if that can happen.

Use your best judgement.

The more you can safely disassemble it before flushing it out the better. Be aware that individual assemblies like the display and mobo are sensitive to ESD damage when out of circuit.

In a dry room handling them is risky if you disconnect the ribbon cables. Unfortunately this is exactly where water tends to get trapped.

If you disassemble to subassemblies level raise humidity in the room to 50% and use a plain wood surface, or earth grounded ESD mat to work on. A ESD wrist strap is highly recommended.

It may be best not to remove the ribbon connectors other than the battery, flush it well, and allow more drying time.

Either way you want to dry the assembly in a warm dry remove to remove all residual moisture; it must be completely dry before powering up again.

If any corrosion formed as a result of the water exposure especially with the battery connected it will not be salvageable.
[OnePlus Nord CE 5G] vuittion:
Lol, that sounds more complicated than having a heart transplant.
[OnePlus Nord CE 5G] blackhawk:
Well once you get a device wet, speed and appropriate actions make the difference between a paper wieght and a working device.

At least I gave known good advice*. Manufacturers won't even attempt to salvage them because experience has shown it's not worth it.

*dropped my Buds case in a full coffee cup (cream/sugar). Immediately pulled it out and apart. Flushed first with RO water to dissolve any sugar then flushed with anhydrous isopropyl.

A day later it was charging again. 2 years later it still works. And that was with the battery in it.

The coffee was still drinkable too🤣
