Copy and paste the file name on google. Below the ads, you will get your source.

Like many other things, It didn't come for free.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] nightlish:
Thanks for the info, I was checking on Google and only found the original folder from Asus.

Accept my apologies for Stupids questions ...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] JazonX:
Mate,

Ask questions as much as you want; It's not stupid and definitely nothing to hesitate nor be embarrassed about.

Cheers!

Hey,

Your guide apllys also to rog 5s? I know that is for the rog 2, but as you told to dont hesitate to ask hehe
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] JazonX:
Yeah, All ROG's have the same process so far.

ROG 3 had some limitations (Refresh Rate, Some error message) when converted from CN-> WW.

ROG II had only an issue with OTA updates failing,

ROG 5 - I didn't read any setbacks so far, so you should be good to go.

The guide always was same,

Fastboot mode, side USB Port, steady cable, latest platform tools,

Raw file in root folder, FlashALL_AFT command ...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] nightlish:
what im afraid of checking is if the signature on 5s only at sys folder, to change the text from CN to WW
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] JazonX:
I'm on Z673KS and I found the fingerprint file in the same place as the ROG II,

View attachment 5406779

However unfortunately, due to Android 11 - Root method, I cant make any changes to the file as the system doesn't mount R/W anymore.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] nightlish:
So the asus unlock app dont work on A11? Or as the A11 you cant automate the change of COUNTRY file? After the flash of img, is need to manually edit the COUNTRY file?

IM trying to get all, to not make errors when making on my 5s as i get him!
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] JazonX:
Your version of unlock app is located here - https://rog.asus.com/us/phones/rog-phone-5s-model/helpdesk_download

Dont use any other version. Also, your device maybe already locked, Check and verify that part first because there are some issues locking / unlocking the ROG 5 Bootloader.

View attachment 5406953

There is no automation in the process. Flash files are applied as is, and the vendor - country file is factory loaded on your device based on where the device is from. It will never get modified by a flash.

If you need it to match your new firmware, it has to be manually edited using a root explorer as mentioned here.

This was necessary during the ROG II days for OTA and the Theme, Not sure how it is now
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
The unlock app is identical.

Thank you for the stock rom, I have succesfully convert the rom to WW rom and running good, but there is one problem that, I am not abe to update the firmware, as the offical firmware downloaded said update fail
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Probably corrupted the partitions. Flash raw firmware, but don't wipe.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] cliehk:
Sorry so you mean flash it again with the stock rom downloaded? or by the rom download from Asus support site?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
No, the raw firmware.

https://xdaforums.com/t/new-owner-quick-start.4309873/

Look at the update / convert / restore section. There are a bunch of threads for it
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] cliehk:
just tried and after flashing still fail to update firmware. beside this the phone work normal (just pop up the warning for unoffical firmware)

maybe need to wait for updated raw firmware and try again

thank you for the advise
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
What warning for unofficial firmware? That could be an issue
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] cliehk:
same warning as ROG3 converting from CN to WW Rom.

Maybe Asus is starting to block user to update the phone by downloading the firmware
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
That is from an incomplete conversion.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] cliehk:
Maybe I still need to wait the way to patch the fingerprint from CN to WW may solve this issue
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
or find the remaining CN vales in the properties. Both commonly cause that.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] cliehk:
A great news, I just now flashed the patched root boot image and change the fingerprint to WW, flashed raw firmware again and found there is different after data wipe, and able to download firmware to update right now

however, the annoying warning still pop up...seems I am not able to clear it

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] fluxus_:
When installed with the corresponding raw, the error message of 'hardwarestub services' is permanently exposed.

I want to remove the hangover message because the message is very annoying.

In addition, manual updates are not possible with the latest firmware supported by ASUS. Do you know how to solve this problem?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] JazonX:
Manual updates via the System will never work until and unless your device fingerprint is same as the current firmware fingerprint (ie - Hardware is CN and the firmware is an incremental CN).

We haven't reached a stage to match firmware and vendor fingerprints yet on the ROG 5 devices.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
What is preventing it from being possible?

I haven't tried it, but would it be possible to use that magisk module that fakes the fingerprint to perform the install, which would then fix it for future installs? If I remember right, they did add the ROG Phone 5 as one of the options.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] fluxus_:
If so, is there currently no way to solve it without root, and is there no way to erase the above warning message? I need an update right now.

the warning message is very frustrating.

[Nova Launcher] lapirado:
Hello.

I'm having a small issue in 7.0.47. When I press any icon (to open the app), it shows a faded black square (like indicating the touch).

This weren't happening in the previous 6.x versions, and isn't happening in the stock launcher too.

I'm not sure if I'm reporting well, but I've tried my best.

Its happening with somebody else? Any tips to get rid of that?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I've searched a bit more in nova settings, and I've solved it by changing the animation, from stock to adaptive icons.

Hello Broh. Thaks for your job x)

One question please:

I have Samsung ACE GT-S5830D. I WANT to update it so my mother can use it

your guide on "CUSTOMROM" still works? including the problem of blocking by Google

Thankyou x)
[Android General] Mik-el:
Thank you, when I turned on my Galaxy Ace after months, I found that I was logged out from Gmail. (actually I don't remember if I changed my Google password during my months of inactivity on Android 2.3).

Well, I tried to login before the deadline and I wasn't able to do it. It's very strange. For some reason, it seems that Google anticipated the deadline of the login block.

I'm sure that someone at Google has read my guide because I posted it on a Google forum and it was read at least by a moderator. Did I do something wrong with my login? Or do guys at Google didn't like the idea that users could bypass their block and continue using old phones? Who knows!
[Android General] Salvah_:
Hello friend, thanks for writing to me.

It means that with the ace I will not be able to use google services.

Fine, but is it possible to use whatsapp?

that is, if I install your room, will it be able to run whatsapp or will there also be problems?
[Android General] Mik-el:
Facebook decided to shut down WhatsApp for Android 2.3 a couple of months ago... They removed the apk download for 2.3 devices on the Play Store. You can still find WA for Android 2.3 on apkmirror .com and download it, but I'm almost sure it will not be able to connect to the Whatsapp servers. I'll keep using Telegram on 2.3.

Last year I tried to develop a "workaround" app to use Whatsapp web on Android 2.3, but the browser is too old to display the website correctly. First, I should update the 2.3 browser, but I need someone that has experience building Android from source, I have to ask some questions...

Ok guys, you may or may not have heard of these guys, its a UK based website dedicated to Phones and PDAs, it gets some great news and has some great reviews and a good commuity, this was the first, if not one of the first sites that did a "week with the Diamond" style reviews some months ago now and before it was released to the public, anyhow enough with the history.

Firstly i make no attempt to pretend i know what im talking about, im just writing what ive read.

The other week some little ar***oles with clearly to much time on there hands manged to fiddle with the site to try and inject a virus on folks PC's, it came to a head the other day when both IE and firefox were throwing up wanings about dodgy code and some folk without AV scanners and propper security got infected. To stop the virus they did some changes and had to remove ALL of the adverts on the site, the problem is Google now list them as dangerios, which it no longer is.

So if anyone has used them, uses them or is going to use them please bare in mind that firstly financially the website isnt going to be in a good place until google and the adverts get sorted, secondly the warning google gives you is a lot of rubbish but apparently takes up to 90 days to fix which could bury them with out support from the community

The site is now safe, apparently is appears to be an attack on a large number of websites with something to do with SQL injections but again im a numpty so best read the site to get the right info.

anyhow, the site is safe, so please continue to go there at the very least.

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Knoppersd:
Hi guys,

i hope anyone has a solution for me here.

So i have this weired case where the phone shows up in ADB but not in fast boot in the windows device manager when using the Recovery/Fastboot mode.

I already tested 3 different PCs and multiple cables. I as well got lucky and a friend of mine got a note 9 as well. With this the Fastboot and ADB show so it shouldn´t be a driver issue.

Can anyone help me with this problem because i would have wanted to get TWRP on this phone.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] opg2000:
...I think it's ok when it shows up in ADB. Did you hear the windows connection sound on the PC when you plug in the device?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] kalehrl:
You need to install the driver.

Without it, the phone is only detected in adb:

http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/xiaomi_usb_driver.rar

Don't forget to disable Driver Digital Signature enforcing in Win10.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Knoppersd:
As I wrote before, I got 2x the same Phone on hand one gets recognized and all by windows and shows up with the correct device driver in fastboot. The other phone doesn't show a thing, windows isn't even recognizing that it got connected in fastboot.

Strange is that the phone that doesn't get recognized in fastboot mode does get recognized in edl and adb mode.

So in the end I am looking for an information if this could be fixed or if the main board is some kind of damaged.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Knoppersd:

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] chemimoco:
Managed to connect my Redmi Note 9 (merlin) to Fastboot with my Windows PC and install stock ROM with MiFlash thanks to this driver.

To install the driver i did:

1. Download driver from link above (ignored Firefox's warning of potential risk).

2. Unpack the rar file.

Now we must disable Windows Driver Signature for the driver to install correctly. It will only be disabled during a single boot and the automatically revert to active and secure again after reboot.

3. Restart Windows while holding the "Shift" key through Start Menu -> Power ->Restart.

4. The blue Windows Advanced Boot menu should appear. Select: "Troubleshoot" -> "Advanced Options" -> "Startup Settings" -> "Restart"

5. Computer will restart to the Startup Settings Menu. Press number "7" key on your keyboard to select "Disable driver signature enforcement". Windows then will boot to Desktop.

6. Search and open "Device Manger" on Windows menu.

7. Under "Other devices" right click "Android" (for me it appeared with a caution sign because of the default driver error) and then "Update driver".

8. Browse my computer for Drivers -> "Let me pick from a list..." -> Select "ADB Interface" (not sure if it is important which type of device is selected) -> "Have Disk".

9. Browse the downloaded driver folder that was unpacked on step 2 and select "android_winusb.inf" (this is the Windows driver).

10. On the Windows Security prompt select "Install this driver anyway".

From here on Fastboot mode should be recognized by the PC and you can install a ROM using MiFlash or following any other guide to install via Fastboot in this forum.

Hi Fellows,

First of all, I’m newbie to flashing (or so-called) phones. I want to change my phone for de-googled one. I’m thinking about POCO X3 Pro with LineageOS 18.1.

I’ve been recently reading a lot about changing OS, but I feel completely overwhelmed by how complex knowledge it is. Even on the forum there is so much info, so much specific vocabulary/acronyms o_O

Can you advise me, how to start?

Or maybe different way... do you know any reliable service/somebody in the UK, who could help? I've already checked services in my town - no one does software modifications :confused:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SubwayChamp:
You don´t need to pay someone else for that, you can do it by your own.

I will give you the topics in order, one by one, and just search for the info till understand what you are want to achieve.

1-Unlocking bootloader.

2-Flashing a custom recovery.

3-Rooting (optional)

4-installing a custom ROM (like LineageOS)

Search for these topics in your own forum, read carefully and apply them when you are sure what you are doing.
