18.0840.2112.210 I need root images please
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
Do a one time boot with twrp from fastboot (if you want twrp permanently also you can flash it) and flash magisk.apk. Thats it you will be rooted
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] LeonardoVNN:
yes but I have .210 version, can I use it?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
Yes you can. I did mine with .210 version only
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] LeonardoVNN:
because I saw it said 211 so I hesitated thanks for the help
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
Indian and Indonesia sw version is .210.

I forgot to patch while updating. With twrp if you flash magisk you can install root in whatever version you are.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] LeonardoVNN:
Since I'm a newbie, I don't know how to flash magisk
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
Download magisk apk from github and keep in your storage.

Have you used twrp recovery? There is a thread in this forum under development tag which will guide you how to boot twrp from fastboot.

Then once you boot into twrp recovery press install and choose your downloaded magisk.apk file. After installation press reboot and choose system. It will restart and You will be rooted
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] LeonardoVNN:
Thank you so much for helping me
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Had to stop including them because there were too many variables.

Install the Magisk app on the phone

Download the stock boot image to the phone

Click the first Install option in Magisk

"Select and Patch a File"

Select the stock boot image

Move the new magisk image to a computer

Reboot to the bootloader

'fastboot flash boot (name of magisk image)'

Using TWRP may make the first install easier, but then you have to replace it every time you update the firmware or kernel. Future firmware updates are much easier to do with the Magisk app directly.

Download firmware to the storage root folder

Reboot the device and start the install

When it prompts, select the "Later" button

Open the Magisk app and select "Install"

Select "Install to Inactive Slot"

Wait for it to complete and reboot

hi, ROG phone users! i've been looking at Asus' support pages for FWs and the the most recent ones are just a couple of weeks back. seems Asus has been pretty good with updates lately, especially the 5/5s though the 3 is still getting the love. am i correct to think so? asking 'coz i'm seriously considering ditching Sammy (s21u user here for now) for my next device, probably early next year
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
The S21 Ultra is on par with the top end ROG 5. If you like Samsung, stick with it. Firmware updates are no replacement for the 50 / 50 chance the hardware will fail.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] maxq1:
^ well, it's not like i'm a sammy fanboy or i hate the device but more on i find myself delving into mobile games more since since the pandemic. i don't expect that to change going forward. so i'm on my next phone i'm seriously considering an Asus gaming phone as it strikes a balance between good gaming (as against most sammy phones) and regular fw updates (shame on the chinese gaming phones who couldn't even be asked to release kernel sources) with decent photo snaps as a bonus. by "...50 / 50 chance the hardware will fail" you mean Asus?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Yes. The photos are also a step down, even at 4 times the resolution in some cases.

Sorry for the second message but after a lot of hours the download of .266 is still broken.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:

Anyway thanks a lot for the support 👍🏼

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] randomguy321:
Hey Raphael / Touch Pro users...

The Touch Pro was recently released in South Africa and im considering the move from my TyTN II to the Touch Pro!

There is alot of nice looking technology in the Touch Pro and its a beautiful looking device... Im just wondering if people are as unhappy after moving to the Touch Pro as they were after moving to the TyTN II / Kaiser???

Im enjoying the TyTN II, after alot of tweaking i managed to get it feeling good and with the addition of CorePlayer 1.2.5 we can now get around the disgusting video playback issue!

So my question is...

Is the Touch Pro worth it??

What do you guys think?? :)

Thank you!!!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] willbeh:
I think it's pretty much on what you need? TP is my first WM device and I'm had up and downs experience. I know it's a new product but just the simple phone function is having issue (not for everyone, I have the mute problem).

I like the screen resolution, the speed is acceptable. The design is great. Anyway it's a cool phone. If you love tech and have the budget, TP sure a nice toy to play around with.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Chainfire:
I'm still using my Kaiser as well, but yes I was very happy with the upgrade.

Next is replacing the Diamond with the Touch HD :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Halfpenny:
It's a good question. I heavily used a TYTN II in place of a Blackberry and when I changed jobs in September I bought a Touch Pro and don't use it as much for email anymore, but still use this functionality.

The only thing I miss is the jog wheel, that was very handy although "flicking" the screen to scroll through the mail is just as easy - just different. It's what you get used to.

I have found a number of bugs with the Touch Pro that have been widely discussed on this forum such as GPS lag, answering calls whilst in your pocket etc etc but have cured almost all of them again thanks to responses on this forum.

The Touch Pro is asthetically pleasing where as the TYTN II was purely function over form, and it has really nice touches - such as FM Radio, Opera, YouTube player all built in.

However, am I completely satisfied with the Touch Pro ? No, not completely. The GPS issue is a particular problem as I use it fairly frequently, and I'm noticing that there is an occasional breakup of or jump of sounds - voice calls, MP3's, SMS message tones - like an old record jumping - which to me take the "polish" of an otherwise accomplished device.

If I had to spend my money again at this point in time, I would be hanging on to see what the Xperia was like and then choosing - I will be watching that one with interest myself !
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] randomguy321:
Hey guys!

Thanks very much for the replies, especially Half Penny, that was a very comprehensive reply :)

Ive only been using HTC devices for 2 months, but ive moved fairly quickly through devices, P4350 -> TyTN I -> TyTN II and i must say that ive come to love the HTC quality, the feel and just the way everything works, which makes me immediately hesitant to move to the X1!

The other issue i have with the X1 (and the Touch HD) Is the WVGA resolution, im worried about compatibility with existing apps, games etc! The X1 is also (in my opinion) an ugly looking device... But (considering i was a TyTN I owner hehe) this doesnt bother me that much!

I want the hardware keyboard, its the reason i moved from "regular" cellphones to these devices, so all the other HTCs and various other devices are ruled out because of lack of the hardware keyboard!

I was hoping that the Touch Pro would iron out a few issues HTC were facing, the poor video playback, the poor 3D performance etc etc... To be honest, if this isnt the case and im not missing that much, i might stick with the TyTN II for a year or so and see what happens (unless i pick up a Touch Pro for a bargain hehe), i love the tilting screen, its something ive come to use alot and im unsure as to why they decided to not include it in their new devices!

Anyway guys, i just thought id open this 1 up for discussion, thanks alot for the great input so far :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] apprentice:
Pro's and Con's

Whilst the TyTn II is not the most exciting looking device HTC came out with, it was one of the most stable PDA's I have owned. If it had a VGA screen I would have not traded it for the Touch Pro.

OK, the TP is very sexy, has a great screen and keyboard and oodles of RAM. But it has to be the most unstable PDA I have used, with constant glitches and weird errors that cause me to soft reset a couple of times a day. I think there is a real need for HTC to bring out a new ROM build that irons out all the well publicised faults.

Having said that, I love the sheer coolness of this device and the WOW's I get from mates when they see it. So I am pleased I bought it and I wouldn't get rid of it any day soon. I will continue to put up with the glitches and keep checking these forums for solutions.

Would I recommend it? For those who want a functional office device that they toss into a briefcase without a care.... NO!

For those gadget junkies amongst us.... YES!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] xfox:
as for me the TyTn II will be my first and last HTC device

am gonna switch over to Xperia or G1 or even a smart touch phone(samsung-nokia)

cuz HTC dont have good updates and all there roms are useless and LATE
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
Good thing you're well informed and you know what you're talking about. "will be my first and last HTC device...", "am gonna switch over to Xperia (HTC) or G1 (HTC) or even a smart touch phone"... The only 2 phone models you named are made by HTC.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] LordStarkovich:
Hello Everyone,

I'm new here. What brought me to this forum was the issue of not getting OTA updates due to using a model imported from another region. My device's CSC is SPR (sprint) but my local carrier works on it just fine. My problem is better elaborated here in this other post :

https://xdaforums.com/t/question-about-flashing-firmware-from-a-different-region.4043665/

After reading the above thread I decided not to change my firmware to the model firmware for my region as its SoC is Exynos and my phone is Snapdragon. However, I still want to use Odin to upgrade the firmware to Android 11 as I'm still stuck on Android 9 (may 2019 update) and I can no longer bear it.

In the post in the above link, a reply recommended using the USA (USC) CSC, so here's my question,

Would updating with SPR (my current CSC) make my phone unable to work with my local carrier on update completion? or should I just update using USC?

PS: The SPR CSC came with no bloatware, I don't know what the USC CSC will come with.

Service provider info is attached below.

Thanks in advance.

It's funny, after installing lineage-18.1-20210828-nightly-ocean-signed.zip via TWRP

and open_gapps-arm64-11.0-nano-20210825 on my Motorola-G7-Power I am faced with the situation, that when the phone is going to standby

(screen turns to black) after the wakeup, the background is changeing. The colour gets lost, the writing is unreadable

the logos can't be identified. It looks like the coulor is flewing out.

Seems there is some thing wrong with the display driver.

Also someone who is faced to that problem?
[Lenovo P11] Neuromancer:
Recently got Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro (a.k.a. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro), and it's all in all a great device. So far just one thing bugs me (seen before on "el cheapo" tablets/phones): Is there any way to disable nagging "suggestions" and related notifications about finishing setup or joining user experience program (see attached screenshots)?

They've been displayed often despite the fact that I've already declined user experience and finished setup long ago.

I somehow managed to get rid of "finish setup" (for now?) by going through it once more (fearing it might mess up previously set up wifi and other things, but it didn't), but "join user experience" is still there.
[Lenovo P11] Neuromancer:
Also, any idea why the battery is only 8400 mAh (it also says so on the box), despite the specs claiming it should be 8600 mAh?
[Lenovo P11] Neuromancer:
Just a follow-up / update: The "suggestions" went away after upgrading to Android 11. Good riddance! :D
[Lenovo P11] Wualk:
I didn' t even notice them (maybe I disabled them somewhere, but don' t remember). One of the few things annoying me is the almost fully Chinese Google Search bar. I have no idea how to switch to English (or other locals).
[Lenovo P11] usafle:
How'd you update to Android 11?
[Lenovo P11] Neuromancer:

[Lenovo P11] usafle:
Just saw your initial post, you have the PRO.

Wish there were two different forums for the two different devices... would save a lot of confusion. lol
[Lenovo P11] Neuromancer:
True. Or perhaps the easiest way - the admin could "upgrade" the subforum's name to "P11/P11Pro/Plus/5G/2021..." or something similar.
[Lenovo P11] proletentoaster:
i can confirm, this problem is solved with the upgrade to android 11.

also the sticky notification about the running lenovo services is finally gone.
[Lenovo P11] usafle:
On my P11 the sticky notification is gone as well after a few updates and occasionally I will get a "lenovo services has stopped responding".

Now, however I've got some "Media Space" app installed without my permission or knowledge.

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Cheesequake:
Has anyone successfully flashed stock firmware to one? I just got a brand new one on ebay for $65 so if I can't do it it's not a huge deal but it sure would be nice to bypass the 50% battery software lock. I've seen a couple people say they did it successfully in youtube comments and stuff but I'm not sure if they actually did or not.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] jjy_0503:
If you just want to bypass battery lock, try charging via factory reset menu or download mode
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Cheesequake:
Device should be here tomorrow. I will definitely give this a try. Makes sense that it would work.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Cheesequake:
Just charging while off allows it to go past 50%.

Edit: Before setting the phone up it would charge past 50% while powered off - after setup it will not go past 50. Will try charging in recovery mode and see what happens. I have a feeling if you flashed a retail ROM on the demo unit before actually powering it up and letting it go into the operating system for the first time it would probably work.

Edit 2: Charging in recovery mode works even post setup.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] poog:
Hi, curious how you got into recovery mode. I have demo unit with retail mode removed. I tried holding vol down and power button after turning off, and it doesn't work. Also tried pw down + accessory button + power and didn't work either

Thanks. PS. I wouldn't try flashing a retail firmware /rom because everything that I have read it results in a brick..which recovering from is still being figured out.

EDIT: I remembered I can ADB into recovery. Combo buttons do not seem to work for recovery mode.

1) But rebooting into recovery only shows DEAD ANDROID GUY WITH red "!". And this mode will just auto reboot after a few minutes.

2) Rebooting into FACTORY RESET mode (using button combos after completely turning off device) .......charging beyond 50% seems to work, but the phone screen remains on and fairly bright. I wonder if repeatedly leaving the device on for an hour or 2 every day will eventually give screen burn.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] poog:
Hi, does either mode have the option of turning screen off and or monitoring battery charge?

I managed to get into factory reset mode (vol down + power, release and repress power) but it appears it sits with screen on always .

Also how do you get into recovery mode? Tried many ways, cannot seem to get into it.

Thanks...

EDIT...remembered I could ADB into recovery. Although recovery mode on my demo unit with retail mode removed does not seem to have proper recovery mode anymore. Only can get dead android guy with red "!" when going into that mode.

Can report going into factory reset mode does seem to work for charging beyond 50%

I also wanted to ask the question of how the device will behave when resetting to factory settings or when trying to root, as it was written above brik when trying to root, so I think before this procedure you need at least, as well as when rooting, carry out a full back-up of all partitions using QFIL
