[General Questions and Answers] LR7875:
Boot partition contains two parts:

1: the boot animation

2: the android kernel

On some newer devices(partially 2018 onwards), the boot partition also includes recovery.

So erasing the boot partition will technically give:

1: stuck on 'powered by android ' logo (first splash, or /splash1 partition) because there is no boot animation to be loaded, and the system will not boot either without a kernel

2: technically you can boot into fastboot. However by manufacturer's design, it might not boot into fastboot.
[General Questions and Answers] LR7875:
If you execute fastboot erase boot in fastboot, and immediately reflash boot.img, it is ok. Erasing boot in fastboot will not affect your current session in fastboot as long as you do not reboot.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Only true if Android isn't A/B partitioned.
[General Questions and Answers] LR7875:
Well I am not talking about A/B phones as they are phones that launched with android 11, which is probably not the phone that the OP owns.
[General Questions and Answers] :
To keep you updated: A/B partition layout was introduced with Android 10 released September 3, 2019.
[General Questions and Answers] LR7875:
@jwoegerbauer

At least my redmi k30, launched with android 10, does not have AB partition layout. It doesn't support seamless updates.

* If you need reference, I can send you.

* Don't tell me that I have a fake redmi K30.
[General Questions and Answers] :
As you will know - or not - Android OS got developed and is maintained by AOSP.

AFAIK only on Google devices like their Pixel series since ever this Vanilla Android is used. The "Android" other OEMs implement on their devices aren't Vanilla Android but by nature Custom ROMs ( means derivates / modifications ) designed to match their ideas and hardware features of their devices.

But I may err as always ... :)
[General Questions and Answers] enumeler:
> 2: technically you can boot into fastboot. However by manufacturer's design, it might not boot into fastboot.

@LR7875 You mean its about luck, in that there is 50/50 chance of hard bricking the phone(such that we cannot even goto the fastboot to flast anything) if I screw up the boot partition?

I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 pro(violet) and I think it does not use A/B partitioning(I saw somewhere in Magisk saying its not supported though I am not even sure I understand it)
[General Questions and Answers] LR7875:
What are you going to do? If you flash a boot image it is fine, but if you erase it permanently and never reflash it, then ehhhhhhhhhhhhh
[General Questions and Answers] :
@enumeler

As of now, few Android device makers have opted to use the A/B partition system. Apart from Google’s first and second-generation Pixels, examples of devices using the partition system include the Moto Z2 Force, the Essential Phone, and the Xiaomi Mi A1.

You can check whether your phone makes use of A/B partitioning or not by means of ADB:

adb devices
adb shell "getprop 'ro.build.ab_update'"

I've just installed FRING....

Sometimes ago it worked correctly on my ELF....

But now, after I flashed a WM 6.1 rom, it doesn't work anymore....

I launch it and "Fring is LOADING" window appears, but the program doesn't boot up....

Any chance to fix this problem?

Cheers....
[Touch GSM General] MarcLandis:
Whats about asking the fring developers/support?

I ma also having the same problem

Hey guys,

Im new to the XDA developer site, recently i have upgraded my Imate Jas Jam from WM5(Telestra) to WM6(3 Network) using "HERM_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.54.707.3_6275_CustomRUU" I have downloaded fring from www.fring.com/cab

Installation is successful, but when i start Fring it simplay shows up the screen which says fring is loading then close application, tried too many times could'nt make this to work, any ideas...

your help is appreciated
[Touch GSM General] wberesford:
Hey Guys,

I have just had the very same thing. I have installed FRING on a new Kaiser. It starts to load and then does nothing. I have left it for a while and as in your cases nothing happens.

I was able to soft reset the phone and then 'remove' the programme. so that I didn't need to rebuild the whole PDA - done that enough times today!

What I do know however is that FRING DOES work on Windows Mobile v6.1 ROMS as I have had it working correctly on another machine that I have rebuilt (Hermes)

I will continue to test.

Regards

MobileMerlin
[Touch GSM General] wberesford:
OK gents, not good news I am affraid - this isn't something that is FRINGs responsibility seemingly. It is seemingly more related to the ROMS that are being used. This would add up as it worked with my HERMES running a 6.1 ROM but not this KAISER equally running a 6.1.

I have contacted the FRING development team to see if there is anything that they can do however I am not holding my breath.

Kind regards

Warren
[Touch GSM General] cmp:
I've got the same problem

Fring is always loading and nothing more happen.
[Touch GSM General] zdtouch:
I've been experiencing the same problem... It loads up....the only thing I can see is the "Welcome logo" and nothing else...

I am using HTC Touch elfin

I think it's because of the cooked ROM I've been using on my phone - since didn't have any problems with Fring while was running on the original HTC Touch ROM.
[Touch GSM General] scorpionrs:
I had the same issue and gave up on it, contacted Fring, was told that they are aware of the problem are looking in to it.
[Touch GSM General] esvignolo:
Solved in last version a few days ago. Download at www.fring.com
[Touch GSM General] nothingfacey:
Its the same problem with the new version
[Touch GSM General] dre@ms:
bingo!!! fortunately it works for me..I am using the elfin with the specs in my siggie..fring works. downloaded the latest version. after first install, it was stuck..then did a soft reset and it started automatically.
[General Questions and Answers] rcbaba:
1. Put your most of the data like photos and videos and other large files in sd card. (There should be very less load in internal storage to get good performance)

2. Wipe system cache.

3. Try using custom roms+custom kernels.

4. You can do overclocking. (Not recommended)

5. If you are bgmi player use gfx tools + config.

If you are codm player use config + Tboost

6. Remove samsung game optimization service, game booster and game launcher. ( they have no role to play while you are using gfx tools and configs, also they are cause of sudden fps drop)

Please tell me if this helps. Also if have any other method then pls tell.

First to plug it to PC and see how PC recognize it. Android device or qualcomm device or oneplus 7pro... I have heard these variations.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Akky272727:
It recognize by USD, tried flashing ROM also not worked, so now it’s submitted to service center, they are also not able to flash ROM, so have some hardware issues. Now they will charge me 25000rs for motherboard after 2-3 days they will call and inform that motherboard need to be replaced.

I searched all over with the forensic data expert, but there is no chances of data recovery.. if oneplus 7 pro is totally dead, even taking out EMMC will also not help to recover data. So finally i lost my data, without any damages this phone dead totally. Now i am thinking how oneplus phones are said best in market.

Hey try to see if your adb reads the phone if so back it up from there. Sounds like you have a bad screen
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] paradoxiumwind:
Not sure if this is lineage related or something else, but for example during a call, I can't hit any number keys because it's as if my touch-clicks go through the call app and hit icons on my homescreen etc. It happens in a few other apps too but not most of them.

Hello

can gsi rom be used on redmi note 10?

How can I install it if it is available?
[Redmi Note 10] Saeless:
Yes. You need to unlock bootloader first
[Redmi Note 10] muneeb rizwan:
whats the procedure i have unlocked bootloader
[Redmi Note 10] Abdullah.Csit:
was able to flash Android 12 Gsi successfully.. But couldn't Boot system.

Only gsi arm64 Android 12 worked though.

You can check any instructions on Google because Gsi has one way for all devices. but it's on your own risk.
[Redmi Note 10] Samir2298:
Sorry for being off topic but what's the difference between the custom roms made specifcally for the device and the gsi roms?
[Redmi Note 10] OldNoobOne:
1> Custom ROMs are more Optimized for the devices they are published for. Also, they usually have more features and upgradations while GSI (Generic system Image) is better than plain simple vanilla AOSP (Android Open Source Project) in most cases and are supposed to have a higher chance of adapting for installation on any supportive (ARM architechture etc.) device.

2> Custom ROMs are usually larger in size (1Gb/2gb etc. ) while GSIs are usually smaller in size

( 500Mb/700Mb etc.)
[Redmi Note 10] OldNoobOne:
OctaviOS GSI (GSI Arm64-ab) booted on my Redmi note 10 but Lineage 18.1 is way better as per my opinion, you have to flash Gapps though.

P.S.- I'm still waiting for some more vanilla ROMs OR GSIs to be made for this device butfrom what I know the developer communities seem to be more in favor of making Rom/Gsi (OR Ports) for the PRO versions of Redmi Note series directly, so some of the lower devices not getting enough attention.
[Redmi Note 10] Saeless:
Is it 11 or 12. Can i have a link to download please 🐱

Mi 9 mobile phone, is there a big god to adapt it to Android 12? Am looking forward to!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hung_ng:
My TouchPro can connect normally to unsecured wifi networks, but with WPA encrypted ones, it can only connect for the first time, after that it can not.

At home I have a wireless router/ADSL modem (Zoom X6) that is connected to my PC by cable, all my phones and laptops connect to internet via wifi. While other phones (1G iPhone) and laptops always connect successfully, the TP only connected once and then cannot or unable connect to the WPA security-enabled wireless network (although it's able to scan and detect the availability of the Wifi network). I tried to reset the router settings, even update router firmware, but no luck, it's still unable connect. I also tried with my office secured wifi network and I had the same problem.

Yesterday, I had to hardreset my TP and tried to connect once again, but problem was repeated, connected only once and after that, unable. Note that my previous PPC (TMobile Ameo WM5) didn't have any problem with the same wifi router and the same wifi settings (as follow).

My TP wifi settings:

Network Name: MyNetwork

Connects To: The Internet

Uncheck "This is a hidden network"

Next step:

Authentification: WPA-PSK

Data Encryption: TKIP

Greyed Out: The key is automatically provided

Network Key:************** (my pass)

Greyed Out: Key Index: 1

Next,

Checked "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" but greyed (I can't change this)

Anybody know the solution for this issue?

Thanks and very appreciated for any help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fused#1:

no solution, sorry. but im quite unhappy that this issue still exists... :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hung_ng:
Any suggestion, pls.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arcanehacker:
yeah.. quite sucky.. I though the WiFi 'broke'.. but i was able to connect to a WEP site.. I think its something to do with WPA.

I never had this problem with my Diamond. The firmware on Diamond isso much more stable compared to Touch Pro..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] joeltje:
I set everything to WEP and my key is open instead of shared, and now it works fine.

I had issues at my dad's, who has no encryption, and also there, when I set the key to open io shared, I got connection. (even though there is no key :confused:

anyway, it looks like that is the bug (at least in my device)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thedino:
I have exactly same settings and same problem... but I want to use this encrypted connection since in future I will have to connect also in other places where I need it for sure.

Any help here?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Yana:
I have similar promblem with my Hermes before.

My wireless router is running "Turbo-G" mode, my Hermes can't connect it with Turbo-G mode On.

After I change the wirless mode from Turbo-G to "g/b", my Hermes can connect it without any problem.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thedino:
I tryed that and does not work...

strange is that is was working in the past and on router I did no changes but on TP I installed just some apps which should not affect this...

Only what could affect is Advanced config which I installed...

So where else can be problem?

How can I troubleshoot this?

Signal kvality is good but still keeps dropping and does not obtain IP from router.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Brendo:
mine works fine...not that that helps you in any way
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hung_ng:
I found the solution: set router to unsecured and use MAC filter. But that is only a tip, because my TP still can not connect with any other secured wifi.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thedino:
I had same problem and looks like I found the bug in Advanced Config 3.2

There is in Network -> WPA auth... was enabled and I put Disabled (now I can use WPA auth anyway... before it just could not connect)

And next Wi-Fi delay after boot: 0 (when I changed to other number than I got problem that I could not even see any AP as I could see before and only network card settings was shown)

Try to play with other settings and you will see... I had also errors with device.exe after reboot... but now it all works as it should.

Just post here if it helps you also so we can notify creator of Advanced Config...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arcanehacker:
You are merely restricting people from connecting to your router.. without encryption, you are sending unsecure packets all over..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Minus-1:
Have you tried using AES encryption on your device instead of TKIP? I only mention this because TKIP is the only one I haven't tried. All other methods of connectivity work fine for me with the TP.

I tried the PT using unsecured routers, WEP and WPA and all of them worked fine with stable connectivity.

The routers I have tried (without any problems) so far are:

1. Linksys WRT-54G running Tomato firmware

2. Linksys WRT-54G running DD-WRT firmware

3. D-Link DIR-655 running latest firmware

I tired open, WEP and WPA1+2 on all of the above routers and the TP responded with zero issues...

I am not using a custom ROM.

I hope this helps in some miniscule way. :(

Good luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Moaske:
I was about to say the same thing...
