I already have TWRP3.6.0_11 compiled for Armor 8 Pro.

But only vonpupp will test the file because it's in the ALPHA and will need to be tested. In case of errors, this will be solved and if everything goes well, it will be released to everyone.

At this point we must be patient.

If you only want ROOT, go and find out how to perform the process with Magisk.
[General Questions and Answers] s_oleg:
Good time.

The bootloader was unlocked, but the root has not been installed ...

Can you tell me how to block the bootloader?

The fact that work is underway on TWRP3.6.0_11 compiled for Armor 8 Pro,

that's good news.
[General Questions and Answers] lopestom:
fastboot flashing lock

But that won't do anything. After unlocking the bootloader everything will be different.

If you choose to relock the bootloader then beware of unnecessary decisions.

Any updates on this? I have this device as a backup and Willing to participate in testing.
[General Questions and Answers] lopestom:
Unfortunately the news is not good.

I currently have the 6GB RAM model for real testing in my hands.

Since January 12 I have been trying to install TWRP on the device.

As you can see in the attached file I have TWRP compiled with no errors. But there seems to be a protection. I may have to sign the TWRP.img file with the same key as the stock boot.img file.

As we are on A11 and the issue here is the active slot_a so I have to study how to sign the img file in relation to A/B and the part of avbtool vbmeta.pem to then know if it is this or another protection.

UPD: See IMG.....jpg file attached

A battle has been won. But the war we still have to win day by day.

It is not ready yet! Pay attention to the TWRP version.

I never linked a download to any TWRP.img file in this thread.

Especially regarding this device I never mentioned github or any site claiming to have a TWRP download!

After an Unofficial site and an idiot on YT uploaded some of my files without my authorization, I really don't support any TWRP flashing, issues and problems.

I'm not even going to talk about xda, which is increasingly strict (this is good) but at the same time breaks own rules and I see moments of discrimination (this is VERY bad)!

So don't ask me or quote/reply anything from me and just read: https://xdaforums.com/t/twrp-build-for-ulefone-armor-8-pro.4344827/post-86482335

The simple mode, you need read more my posts, not only here and update your mind about new Android version, specially about A11+.

0. Bootloader unlocked

fastboot flashing unlock_critical

1. Use stock vbmeta if you want.... BUT is prefered using vbmeta modified

fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

2. Use the img file (You must make sure it is the correct boot-TWRP.img file!!) for flash with fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot-TWRP.img

fastboot boot recovery.img =>> never work in MTK A11 specially about Armor 8 Pro A11 not have recovery partition!!

3.

fastboot reboot-recovery

I found an unofficial twrp build for the 6gb armor 8 pro. But my device is 8gb. And how the hell do you flash recovery in fastboot on this thing?
[General Questions and Answers] DragonPitbull:
Your phone does not have the recovery.img file

So in android 11 you have the boot.img file

I'm not sure if models with RAM capacity can vary. As long as you have a backup of your phone's stock boot.img file or an official firmware for your phone model then you can give it a try. If this is not successful, you can install the stock boot.img file to get your phone back to normal.

The installation process was described in a previous message

I'm still wondering why so many users of XDA/buyers of a new device are so negative about the Apple devices. Of course, there are tons of Android manufacturers to choose from when you want to buy a new device, but there is only one Apple. Even XDA acknowledges now that the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is the best overall Smartphone you can buy. This is not only amazing, as XDA is in principal an Android forum, but it gives full credits to Apple's innovation technology. Read it all in this link and you will see that Apple is the winner in October 2021. Kindest regards, kuzibri

Rounded corners, no SD card, no spen and more limited customization options.

Picked up another new unlocked Note10+ 256/12gb ram for $800. Another $200 for a V30 card yields a 1.25tb dual drive handheld.

My heavy used 2 yo 10+ still looks and runs like new. One battery replacement so far. It's solid build and fast, stable performance influenced my decision.

[General Topics] Deleted member 1890170:
It's not the first time OP here on XDA is promoting Apple phones, wants to make us believe here that Apple phones are the better choice.

May be worthwhile to know:

An Apple iPhone 12 Pro got produced for 404$, it got / gets sold on Amazon for 950$.

IMO an insanely high profit margin.

My POV:

Apple iPhones are nothing more than a status symbol: either you can afford it or you can't.
[General Topics] kuzibri:
hi @jwoegerbauer, thanks for your personal opinion. To state that Apple iPhones are nothing more than a status symbol, is IMPO a bit shortsighted. You cannot deny that it's also a very good, complete, reliable and secure smartphone which indeed costs a lot of money.

Regarding customizations, my homescreen looks exactly the same as on my former Android devices, so I do not see the difference. Apple's iOS14.5 and 15 became much more flexible with customizations, e.g. creating your own home display with widgets, etc. See added image.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] amitsivak:
Got tilt last week.

Kinda scared to unlock with software. paid $10 for unlocking service on ebay. very fast.

I would like to flash the rom with a faster performing one but my main question is do I need jumspl or hardspl if it's unlocked?

Also when exactly do I install the radio?

is the order like this?

jumpspl, hardspl, radio, rom?

I did read the tons of pages, but no offense to anyone but it's not written in a user friendly kinda way. again, no offence.

What's the faster performing roms out there?

I'm also having problems wih my activesync. I got a red exclamation mark on the system tray. I have 3 unresolved items in the window. tried to fix them which are some favorites but need to install outlook. I can't sync anything else besides pics and videos as well. I do have outlook express working so what the heck does it want me to do?

any help appreciated.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] amitsivak:
saw that one and read, twice.. still doesn't answer questions. After phone is unlocked do I need jumpspl and hardspl? it talks about cid unlock, which i'm assuming i don't need since I unlocked? which still, it isn't written well. I have to say people , especially the seniors have little patience for giving new people guidance. The guide is not written well, and doesn;t answer any question I just asked except the rom question which I still don't why do people get so impulsive about that. It's not a nice way to treat new people IMO.

as well if you ask newbies, I will tell you the information is too spread out and quite unorganized. check this page tell me if you don't htink someone did this after smoking something:

[Verizon LG G3] dolst:
Hi everyone,

Sorry for my ignorance but I haven't frequented these forums in years and as an old person I find the new search feature confusing, so if this information is definitively covered elsewhere I'd love to see it. I want to make it clear that I am NOT trying to unbrick my old hardbricked Verizon LG G3 VS985. I am simply trying to get the data off of it, if that's possible. Every guide I've seen talks about unbricking it, using QFIL to flash it, and using a "firehose file".

I can successfully short the pin to get the board into EDL mode and Windows recognizes it as a "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" on COM 3. QFIL seems to be able to communicate with it but I'm completely lost as to how to get data from the board. I just want to see if any old photos, videos, contacts, whatever might still be there and I don't have the first clue of how to get this to work. Do I even need a firehose file to do this? Should I just chuck the whole thing in the recycled electronics pile? I feel like I'm one or two clicks shy of cracking this nut. Thanks in advance.

Is there anything interesting you can do with mediatek stuff once you have unfettered access to the preloader? Ive managed to get a echo show 5 2nd gen to the point where the vcom port doesnt vanish right away on power up. I know with older mediatek devices, you would run the sp flash tool first, with details already setup for the download, then you would power on the device and SP would find it and initiate the flash. It seems as though the show 5 works in the same way... Hummmm

Hi everyone,

Does the POCO F3 have the LDAC codec support for Hi-Res áudio?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Techguy777:
I'm curious did you make an xda account just to start a thread to ask a question? I've noticed everyday now that about 20 people a day start new threads and I wondered why. Xda was developed for people who are into development and want to flash Roms and root their phones.

To answer your question it should you need to turn on developer options and search for Bluetooth codecs. I don't have my Poco f3 yet I just ordered it today otherwise I would tell you how to turn on developer options but it's usually go into settings find your build number and tap on it 7 times and it'll say turned on developer options. I believe the poco f3 is in settings find your MIUI version number and tap it 7 times and then find additional settings and you'll see developer options now. Look for the Bluetooth codecs but here's the bad news. You can only use them on headphones that support the ldac codec the system will over ride your settings and use the headphones settings. Good luck
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] asademosca:
@Techguy777, you are right! I was so frustrated not finding solutions that I had to be one more these irritanting guys that make a XDA account just to place a thread. I understand you and I'am honestly sorry! Please, accept my apologies

I'am in developer mode since the first day I have this monster phone. Yeah, it's a beast!

In developer mode, the LDAC codec among others is there but It doesn't mean that poco f3 can use it. Sometimes we found in developer mode options or settings that are not usable because they are not still finished and need a final touch in a future firmware upgrade. The POCO F3 has support for AptX HD codec (see specs) but it isn't avaible today. We will have it in a future flash.

My earphones are the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, and they have LDAC Hi-Res codec. All I need now, is a music provider (like Tidal) with hi-res audio streaming service and if the POCO F3 has really the LDAC codec support..... BOOOOOM!!!

Finally, I found elsewhere, LDAC codec is present in any phone that support Android 8 or later. Don't now if is true but I place my bet :)

Thank you for your king size support
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Chuanjun_:
Hi, according to my experience of using Sony WH-1000XM3, Redmi K40 supports LDAC, which should be the same model as POCO F3, but I didn't have a chance to try if it support Hi-Re audio. Hope my experience will be helpful to you.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Polarized77:
Sorry to butt in so late but, the Poco F3 does not officially support LDAC. If you force it on via developer options or, in the Android Bluetooth settings, it will only use "Best Effect" LDAC at 360 kbps, which apparently has less clarity than SBC. If you try to set it to "Optimised for Audio Quality" in Developer Options, it just reverts straight back. I ran Bluetooth diagnostic software on my phone and, LDAC was not listed as a selectable codec.

I think I found a way for Android with the Sony XM4, I am not completely sure because I did not have an app to measure the bitrate but there is some clues that shows it works. I use the french app so the name of parameters could be bad translated.

1. You need to download the Sony Music Center App (it is an app different from Sony Headphones Connect).

2. Connect your headphones to your phone with bluetooth.

3. Go to the Sony Music Center App. You will see your heaphone in the list of connected device.

4. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and click on Parameters.

5. Click on bluetooth parameters and click playback quality

6. Choose priority to quality

You can check that the maximum bitrate is set by default by looking at the developper menu in android parameters. If you look at it the LDAC codec automaticaly toggle to 990kbps.

I advice you to restart your phone after that.

However, you need to reopen music center to reactivate 990kbps mode everytime you reconnect your headphone.
