[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Coolbeans007:
Hello all, I have discovered that my note 20 has been infected with a malware that locks the screen at start. I cant open any apps or settings to enable usb debugging. The KG state is locked and the OEM lock is on as well. I tried sideloading another package but had no luck. What's my best bet to removing the malware from the system apps. I was thinking that I could sideload my own app that would remove it but I don't know any apps like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Coolbeans007:
If I'm talking in this much detail don't you think vie already done that? System apps likes this don't get removed on reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It's reverts to the original factory load.

So you loaded infected firmware?

Samsung did?

Incomplete description on your part.

What apk?

Was it scanned with online Virustotal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Coolbeans007:
No I bought it from a friend and its locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
That's why I don't lock any PCs or devices.

Even a PC bios password can go corrupt... then you're boned. Maybe someone here can/will help you but I see where this is going...

Hello I'm bribbo,

thank you for accept me here, I hope to find help and I will help somebody else when I'll become more expert!
[General Questions and Answers] bribbo90:
I just flashed my blackview bv5500, with the stock rom using mediatek sp flash tool, before flash I made "format whole flash" (probably this was the mistake)

After this I flashed from download tab and got ok message at the end. But when I try to switch on the device the screen switches on because I see the light, but it is stuck on black and no any logo.

Is there any solution for this?

Thank you for your help I promise to help back when I can

Same problem, what ROM did you use to fix it and get your screen back ?
[Touch GSM General] Ultimaex:
Hello,

I opened my Touch to clean the Display because there was dust inside the Phone. I used a Hoover very carefully to remove it. Then i closed the Elf and the Touchscreen didnt work anymore.

I left all wires where they were and didnt even touch the Touchpannel.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

Is there any solution to reanimate the Touchpannel or do i need to buy a new one?
[Touch GSM General] juanribot:
great problem. I hadn'e any idea that could happen. I wanted to do the same but now I think I'll do it when I'm sure it doesn't breaks my touch...

thanks for the info and let me know if you get through it....
[Touch GSM General] Ultimaex:
I will send it to HTC because I am still in the time of warranty.

If I flash the original ROM they dont have anything to deny it.

If there are any news i will post it.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlockguitarman:
WARNING DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELF AS I HAVE SPECIAL TOOLS TO UNBRICK MY PHONES IM USING TO PERFECT THIS PROCESS.

I've recently stumbled into a process that allows the bootloaders to be unlocked on nearly all mediatek devices, with the help of a paid tool, and this process https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-dev-mediatek-mtk-auth-bypass-sla-daa-utility.4232377/ It made unlocking the bootloaders, pulling full rom backups or restoring the backups possible.

First i accidently crashed the system and preloader manually on the Stylo 6 and was able to unlock the bootloader, then i repeated the process on 2 more Stylo 6's and 2 K51's. I sought out help and started working with Haise and the guys in the stylo 6 discord group until he got the files i pulled from my unlocked phones that he needed for his process that he came up with and then told me to stop the work that I started. After he removed me from his discord group for calling him out for no longer wanting to work with me so i could accomplish this goal that I set for myself. I reached out to the team at Hovatek for some guidance and I couldn't have restored my 2 hard bricked stylo 6's without them, in just about a months time i feel i learned half a years worth of knowledge, and i plan to share my findings in hope that this process can be recreated without a paid program.

I have complete rom backups of the stock system, unlocked bootloader system, and fully magisk rooted backups of both Stylo 6 and K51. I have compiled a 100 percent all files included scatter file based off of each rom backup, i will continue working with the Hovatek team to make this process of unlocking these bootloaders and many more bootloaders easy and free for everyone, I will be loading more files tonite so look out for links to the unlocked bootloader files, the scatter files, and a zip for those who brick their stylo 6's trying to recreate the process themselves.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlockguitarman:
I'm nearly finished getting the correct files and order and pre flash setup done so that SP Flash Tool can be used to unlock the bootloader and root the stylo6, I appreciate the team at Hovatek being there to give me some direction, and to bounce ideas and methods back and forth with me for the majority of this project, after I sorta stumbled into the first stylo 6 unlock I got unlock happy and I unlocked the next 2 stylo 6 phones I purchased before thinking about the steps I should take to narrow down how it happened, this was my first real attempt to do anything this in depth, but I set a personal goal for myself that I won't let anyone influence me to not get to the bottom of it and make it doable for everyone. I'm writing this as I'm waiting for a full stock rom back up to install so I'll eliminate the variables that have occurred from hard bricking one of my test dummy phones multiple times. The super.img is about halfway done, and then I will start what is hopefully the flash setup that I will be sharing with everyone. But if it fails I hope that some more experienced developers will let me bounce some ideas back and forth to find the right order of flashing and formatting so I don't have to keep bricking my 2 test dummy stylo6's, I prefer to keep the 3rd I have in total working order.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlockguitarman:
I'm stuck on one last thing and could use all the help I can get, I am not finding a working way that will disable avb, I have found about 5 methods and I've tried them without success, I've even attempted these methods on an unlocked bootloader with root still with no success, so without this one last piece to my puzzle I may not be able to release a fully working method that everybody can use to unlock their own stylo6.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlockguitarman:
I have a flash setup that would flash every .img file that changes after the bootloader unlock, but with avb still enabled the flash is unsuccessful, If a method is figured out this way of unlocking will start development for many more phones as I've been able to unlock a few other mtk phones that have not been unlocked by anyone else that I've seen so far.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] greekfragma:
Hello everyone.

I own the Surya Version of the X3 NFC for over 6months now. I am not satisfied with stock MIUI 12.0.8 and I am searching for a better ROM. Before writing what kind of ROM I am looking for, I ll write down some things about the past.

I was using for 3 years the Xiaomi Mi A1 using Pixel Experience custom rom and found to be the best overall for my needs. I tried also some clean AOSP Android Ones which were faster but had serious bugs. So Pixel Experience on my past Xiaomi mobile device was very balanced overall and was happy with it.

I see there is a thread for PE and PE plus for our X3 and I am reading these days the thread carefully.

What I am looking from a rom:

Less possible bugs,

Compatibility with security apps for banking financial purposes, authorization etc.

Lightweight in resources.

The cleaner the better for me. I am experienced and I can install everything myself including Magisk modules and stuff. I will stick with stock kernel or change to another one only if there is proof to be bug free and not messing with the device performance-compatibility-battery life.

Best camera app is a must but I am sure I will find a better one (google cam) than the stock I have right now. (feel free to make suggestions)

Right now I just made the Mi account and I am waiting the 168hours for the unlocking. So no hurry to find the best answers. I have 1 week to decide.

Do I flash the PE, PE plus or another rom?

Thanks so much for any opinions :)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] pnin:
Having had my Poco X3 since launch, I have now tried Xiaomi.eu (stock based), ArrowOS and am currently on Resurrection Remix,(v8.6.9, A10 based), and I'd advise you to stick to what you know best (the Pixel variants, some of which are quite well regarded) but also to not get your hopes very high.

From reading the forums for as much as long, my opinion is although the hardware specs are great, no custom ROM is completely without issues -- or maybe I'm just spoiled from past experiences, where I had no troubles worth mentioning setting up and using them as daily drivers.

Cameras on this device, for instance, are by itself a whole field of research.

If simplicity is what you seek, than most folks here will point you towards ArrowOS or LineageOS.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] greekfragma:
Thanks for the answer my friend. I am also reading the ArrowOS thread since I started searching for alternatives.

What would you think about ArrowOS disadvantages from the time you used it? Stock kernel or something else?

@pnin
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] pnin:
From my usage, I had trouble setting up some rather basic options but, as it was a while ago, I don't have too clear a recollection.

Afterwards, ArrowOS switched to A11 firmware first and then an OSS vendor, which resulted in a seemingly never ending stream of complaints about upgrades, lack of features and degraded performance -- myself, I never experienced this because I had already moved on.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] iakoboss7:
The migration to OSS vendor happened 2-4 years earlier than necessary, thats what (issues) you get when you do not wait for xiaomi to fix the issues and you try to fix them yourself.

I am still on the last non-OSS build cause of that untill they fix all the issues
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
I'm using OSS vendor and have no problems.

Which issues are you talking about?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] iakoboss7:
The ones reported on the ArrowOS thread.

Some users report worse performance and some issues here and there.

Also they seem to discontinue smart charging cause of an issue with it.

Personally i am on the latest non-OSS build cause:

A) i do not wish to format the phone and start from scratch again.

B) above reported issues.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] greekfragma:
@iakoboss7

Thanks for your reply. Can you please share your thoughts on what is not working on the non-OSS rom? I would like to know every detail if it is possible. :)

also I was unable to find the non-OSS build. where are these variants? I see only vanilla and gapps.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
There are no issues reported on the last pages of the ArrowOS thread.

You may as well flash the 20210608 OSS build and stick with it.

That's something you will have to do anyway sooner or later. There is no way from non-OSS to a current build.

Again, there are no reported issues. Please name the issue you have in mind or stop making false accusations
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] pnin:
FYI, just now in the ArrowOS thread, atefbeldi and CherryFarmer8 complained of some serious problems with recent updates (cf. https://xdaforums.com/posts/85337817 and following).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
They are complaining about a problem with Magisk. atefbeldi specifically writes that the problem only occurs after installing Magisk. Without Magisk there is no issue

Hi all!!!

​

Fist of all Im Not insulting anybody... This is for our BENEFIT.

After some post and time, in XDA general forum Im exposing this problem:

We have too much BRICKED Devices in wizard forums, cause our devices have too DOC CHIP Flash versions inside and the people dont reads enough information, to know where to go and ask whatever they think. So We suggest a solution... when somebody register on the forum it must be some fill spaces about his device like ours... but it is imposible!!! and they are right, the reason is We cant obligate everybody to do this, even if is an important Info to avoid damages.

So... Flar (MOD) told me that we can get a Stickie Thread to let knows to everybody in wizard forums to fill their signature with the information we need to answer their questions, its a great Idea!!!!

So the hope is the last thing to die....

PLEASE EVERYBODY FILL YOUR SIGNATURE WITH YOUR DEVICE INFO​

So let me tell you what Info is important to fill in:

Device Model

Provided if not in front cover under the battery in the label that say the IMEI and serial (If you want the name that carriers use, I think is not important but i see some people wit his HTC UNIVERSAL using Roms for wizards!!!) BRICKED PDA!!!

IPL and SPL version

, provided by a softreset on the second screen(this info is shown on the second splash screen when device boots)

Radio version

provided too in the second splash screen (when the phone starts or boot after the softreset under the name GSM!)

OS Version

its shown again in the second splash screen (are just number like 1.0.0.0. or something like that)

The Rom you are currently using

, Developer and Windows mobile version too, give to the chefs his fame and reputation too!!! they deserve lots of congrats even the ROM is ugly... cause it costs too much than a bricked device. if you have an original ROM please provide the link to it and all the info.

CID/SIM

locked or unlocked SuperCID(G3), softSPL or HardSPL (G4) if you never do the unlock process on tutorial... You Are locked!!!

Its important that you read carefully the wiki Cause it has so much information like knowing about your DOC CHIPSET G3 or G4 (IPL, SPL can do it too) there is some Faq Manual if you can read a little too.

IF you got any question or suggest PM me you can found ME around Here.

Thanks To all!!!!! and mods to let me put this Stickie on every Topic in wizard forums.

Thanks to all the new members that recah his limits just for revives his devices or upgrade his devices we are here for help y'all.

Thanks to all Seniors, Administrators and Moderators for support our forum...

Im kinda MISS UNIVERSE????!!!!! :confused:

See on the upper lever bar of this web it says... USER CP click it and then on the Left bar see the option Signature... to edit your info :D

Just if you dont know what am I talking about.

It's a water drop display with very aggressive screen to body ratio that's why the problem is happening to me. So is there anyway I can get a touch resistance area feature like in miui any app or magisk module?
