[Google Pixel 6] sp0okie:
Here's a story. I was on sprint, and I had my faithful - very well tuned - S5 that I've been rocking forever. TM calls and says that they're cutting towers, and my phone will lose service. Well, I've been traveling and this thing has been such a blessing. I binned the S7 I got years ago because of how bloated and worthless it was. Well, my S5 would be no more, but they said they were going to give me a free phone to stay on with them through the merger. Ok, what phone? Oh, I can get a new Pixel? For free? 100%? No strings attached, $0. I just go to whatever store, they'll look up the account, and hand me a phone? Well. OK then.

Well, I put it off as long as I could, because the S5 was just too classic and effective. Eventually I would go into a TM store, but they said they had no idea what I was talking about and "it's going to cost you..." and the sales rep which cup is it under thing goes on. I'm like, no. Anyways, a week later TM calls again asking if I got the phone. She said she'll add an alert notice over the whole account for it. Well, I get rejected again, and the employee was lying. Like, he was young, new, not a great hustler yet. I asked him to work on his game a little more so he doesn't piss off the next person when they catch your bull****. Didn't want to mess up quota by giving away a free phone. Apparently, this was rare?

Finally, I find a store, they give me the phone that I know is going to be unlockable because I made sure of this by asking the TM agent who was calling me. Well, I gotta wait 40 days. No biggie. 40 days are up, and, war.

Long story short, I was borderline a Karen. I know I was pushing back real hard, but yo, I made sure.. I asked so many times.. for them to tell me nah you can't unlock it. So I dropped the, "look, we've been on this contract for almost 20 years, with 5 lines. You want 20 more or do you want me to cut this **** right now?" I don't believe I've ever leveraged my customer sponsorship, but you have to understand... this would be my only access to the internet in various middles of nowhere. End up saying, too bad. I'm like well ****. I really gotta cut ties like that... well the next day I check my OEM unlock button, queue 'Sound of Silence,' and... well. It was unlocked. So, here I come Android 13.... literally the entire reason I got the Pixel 6 is because I knew I'd be able to run win 11 on it. I've been playing around with win 11 since last year, seeing how maleable the system is... and yeah, I was gonna run it on a phone. I'm really glad somebody beat me to that so I can just piggyback their hard work. Hey, I had to fight just to get this far. lol.

[Google Pixel 6] workr:
Since I was able to successfully resolve this thanks to this post, figured I should come back and post a follow up. Called them up, and just asked immediately for a technical support specialist. They connect me, and I explain I want the phone whitelisted because I need to OEM unlock the device in order flash the phone to Android 11 so the phone's signal issues can get resolved, since it's an issue with Android 12. I'd tried everything else they asked me to do, and it didn't work, and this is the only thing that will make the phone operable. I give her the IEMI number and she does her thing and tells me they can't do it because the phone is still on a plan. I tell her I know T-Mobile is able to whitelist it, and that the phone is still on a plan, but this is literally the only option to make the phone work, and explain again what I want to do. She says she's going to check with her supervisor and puts me on hold again, this time for a really long time. After about 15-20 minutes on hold, she comes back and says her manager is going to whitelist it, and to give them 24 hours. Asks for my email, and says to look for the message. Before I can even think to long about whether or not they just told me some bs to get me off the phone, get this notification. Not even 10 minutes after I hung up. OEM unlock works and everything. We did it Joe. Now I'm off to brick this ****er by botching the ROM install. Cheers.

I have tried online, tmo app and tforce. Called in to customer care, supposedly they are working on it to add to whitelist.. i got have a good feeling that i will be a pass a gate to freedom to custom roms!

[Google Pixel 6] fivedollapizza:
Forgot to post here after I got my Pixel 6 unlocked, but i was able to get it done via Twitter T-Force by telling them that I specifically got the Pixel 6 because I FINALLY got my acceptance into the Android Beta program and was under the impression that all Pixel devices had unlocked bootloaders, not realizing that T-Mobiles version had a SIM unlock dependency for the bootloader to be unlocked.

I assured them that I had no intention of going anywhere else but that I just wanted to be able to take advantage of my new beta tester status (I'm sure this line helped only because we currently have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and two other devices financed).

They unlocked it within minutes of requesting it, and I had only had the device for THREE DAYS at that point lol

You may want to remove your phone number. The user is not performing 5his service anymore...at least that was as of approximately a year ago.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Tanckom:
I'm curious if the Vivo x60t Pro+ and x60 Pro+ have the same firmware? As far as i know, they only differ in one camera, but looking online, i can only find firmware for the base model, but not one specifically for the t-model.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Pachacouti:
Most likely. Cant see them making an entire firmware for a camera that probably uses the drivers from the other.

For those who want keep the erecovery as a fail-safe.

Fully functional on our device except for OTA updates (logical).

If you enter Recovery from TWRP or through the extended reboot menu, it is almost the same as on our EMUI 9.

But if you enter with the Volume Up + Power buttons, then an additional menu will appear from which you can enter other modes:

- Updating via dload method

- Updating from a computer via USB

- eRecovery mode

So you can enter eRecovery even though TWRP is installed on it , that could be very useful.

It works on stock recovery as well as on magisk-patched recovery.

( How to enter magisk-patched Recovery:

Boot into Recovery, when the yellow warning appears on the screen, press and hold Volume Up for ~ 2 sec,

release the button and immediately press and hold again for ~ 2 sec. Repeat it 6-7 times, the device will reboot into Stock Recovery ).

[General Questions and Answers] maxdevilio:
I'll try to keep this short yet detailed.

So I basically flashed Custom ROM on my whyred 2-3 years back.

RR Rom and I have no Vibration since then. (I might have wiped incorrect partition Idk, some people said something about the device tree I've no idea.)

Lemme answer few questions that will pop up in your minds.

Yes I checked every setting, everything's ON.

QC Test failed for vibration.

I got my vibration motor changed as well.

I flashed fastboot ROM as well.

Flashed custom kernels as well.

Multiple ROMs - Pixel, Lineage, RR, Evolution X.

Nothing worked for me.

It's been more than couple of years now. Same happened with Kenzo it still work but without vibration.

PS - I've other devices that work fine on custom ROMs, probably because I've been more careful.

PPS- Vibration comes back sometimes but that's literally like once a year.
[General Questions and Answers] Pachacouti:
Sounds to me, like there is not enough power to trigger the actual motor, based on the fact you've tried so many roms and had same problem for so long.

This can be caused by custom roms, or maybe the motor is just old n cranky, (ok, you changed it) and needing a wee shove to trigger it into moving again, after being still for so long.

Think ps3 controller, if you can open your fone, and put the tiniest bit of wd40 on the motor spindle, then lightly turn it by 'finger' lol, that should do the trick if it's not software related, and it works when it CAN rather than when it wants or is told to.

Just a suggestion. If you do go to look and do the wd40, test the power on the red and black cable while instructing fone to vibrate, if all is good, it's the roms.

Edit: Oh, and it's a good idea to look into notification settings, see what permissions are granted to vibrate/sound/on off? Some apps like to change settings we make being not so obvious. Sometimes denying other apps can affect such stupid things.

Yup I got it, but I'm an electronics guy... If you can confirm if there is power TO the motor (set ringer to vibrate then call yourself, while testing power)... yup....if you cant get power to motor, backtrace the power till you find it.

Its software after that.
[General Questions and Answers] maxdevilio:
Hey, thanks for the reply.

I'm also an electronics guy, and I'll definitely get the motor power checked.

Yesterday only it randomly started working but it was so weak I knew it wasn't getting enough power. But not sure how.

About the setting vibration is on everywhere and There's no app which may cause any sort of problems. I'm pretty sure it's either the kernels or something else entirely.

Thanks again.

My windows 10 PC only recognizes my P6P when I have usb debugging turned on. I can turn usb debugging off and it's not recognized, tried a reboot and still have to have usb debugging on to transfer files via usb cable. Not really a problem as I don't mind usb debugging on all the time but just wondering if there's a solution with it off. Seems to be the only issue I've found in 7-8 days of use.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prdog1:
From what i have seen even with android Auto have to have debugging turned on and have to go way down list to enable data. Default is no data. No reason to ever turn off debugging. mine has been on since around 2010.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Pachacouti:
Go into system devices in win 10, (I never got passed 7 x64 lol) with fone usb debugging turned off, what devices have an exclamation mark?

Then turn on usb debugging while viewing system hardware devices to spot any changes..?

In dev options, in fone, or wherever it is in yours, check usb settings, you know, where you can set usb to mtp, or file transfer etc... check those settings.

edit, and one question, if usb debugging is turned off, can you still charge fone from pc?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ggrant3876:
Yes, that's always the first thing I turn on but just thought it odd that it has to be on to transfer files.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Raunaksaha2008:
I was using xiaomi.eu rom V12.5.14.0.RKHCNXM on my Mi 11x (aliothin) installed using the @gogocar62 method using TWRP.

Today i downloaded xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.18.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip and installed it via permanent twrp 3.5.1 (nebrassy) which was already on my phone.

Since it was just an update, i didn't wipe data. After reboot, phone booted into recovery and there was no sign of my data neither was i being to decrypt data or mount partitions.

Steps I've already done till now -

1. Booted into fastboot, ran temporary twrp 3.5.2. it was able to decrypt data and i could take a backup.

2. Tried changing current slot to a, then to b.

3. Tried wiping data without formatting data.

@gogocar62 can you please tell what's wrong and help me boot into system without data loss?

Also, i downloaded the weekly Android 12 version of xiaomi.eu rom too but i read somewhere that flashing fastboot rom causes critical changes to some partitions and system files and changes it to chinese rom. Is fastboot rom not recommended then?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Pachacouti:
Try going into BOOTLOADER to use fastboot instead of fastboot(d), if at all possible.

then wipe cache, select reboot then select system
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Techguy777:
I'm glad you posted this, I did the exact same thing yesterday and had the exact same problem. I'm Normally extremely experienced with this stuff I've even made custom roms. This one caught me off guard because I've only had the phone 2 weeks and this was the 2nd custom rom I flashed. Long story short nothing worked and I had to flash miflash stock firmware. Than I tried it again and it did it again. So I flashed the zip before I was already on and everything worked. I don't understand backups with this phone sometimes they backup but I don't believe they will work to restore.

I have never had to say this, there is nothing you can do. You have to flash stock and go back it sucks and I hate it but it is what it is.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Raunaksaha2008:
Tried, didn't work
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Raunaksaha2008:
now its not booting into recovery. only fastboot. run twrp bat command file is not working with it anymore.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Raunaksaha2008:
could boot into recovery. backed up whatever i could. flashed fastboot xiaomi.eu rom without data wipe (upgrade mode). System was showing issues - permissions stopped working, couldnt find refresh rate settings, apps were misbehaving, general lag. Now trying to flash again with data wipe. If nothing else works, have to go back to original stock rom with mi flash.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Techguy777:
Well did it work or did you have to go back to stock? I told you nothing works and I'm not lying I'm extremely experienced with this stuff. I root every device I can get my hands on. This phone is beyond difficult to flash roms with. The problem is you really need to go back to stock everytime you flash a custom rom to make sure it works.

I know when I said my first comment your hoping to god that you don't have to start from scratch but I tried a bunch of stuff to I just didn't feel like explaining it all. I flashed both twrps and tried I reflshed the rom and I did format data and still didn't work. It screws up the system partition layout and nothing reads right.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Raunaksaha2008:
Went back to stock. Android 12 on xiaomi.eu rom doesn't have refresh rate settings and we are stuck on 60Hz. And also backing up, restoring everytime is a pain and waste of time. Will stick to stock for now.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Techguy777:
I told you, I will say it again this phone for custom roms kinda sucks. It can be done but it's always you have to start from scratch Everytime and roll the dice and hope it works. Good luck I would still root stock though
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Techguy777:
The way everything breaks made me worried that the phone would hard brick if I kept trying stuff. Either that or some how wipe out fastboot and than it would be like a hard brick because nothing would work to fix it. It's a scary phone to mess with. The problem comes from the A/B partitions because XDA developers aren't really developers their just people who read online instructions on putting source code together and don't actually know how to code or fix anything. They get way to much credit. Topjohnwu is a real developer and that's why Google bought him
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Raunaksaha2008:
Facing issues again. Netflix app not showing in Play store. Device is not play protect certified even after flashing official Rom via mi flash.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] reg66:
i agree, flashing stock each time and booting once before flashing each custom rom seems the way to go. i know you're experienced - more than i - but in case you don't know... here's a couple of good apps for backing up apps etc that have worked well when moving from rom to rom (just save/copy whole swiftbackup folder with backed up apps to pc/laptop).

after moving rom, i select 'restore' from google backup but deselect apps (that's all done with seperate app below). that restores a fair bit, including some settings depending on the rom before and after flash. then install swift backup on my rooted device, copy swiftbackup folder back onto phone and restore apps with all data etc (+ anything else you have that didn't restore from google backup). swiftbackup can even backup and restore your wallpaper/screensaver, wifi passwords etc. it's so much better than the outdated titanium backup, which i find unreliable these days.

another alternative is alpha backup pro, another paid app but apparently worth it. sometimes it's on offer or free. i got it when it was free but haven't tried it as swift works well for me. alpha backup

note: i am not affiliated with either of these apps, just making you aware of a backup alternative as TWRP data backups, for me and with this phone, are a no go. also note, i don't backup system stuff when moving to a different rom, only installed apps.

like i say, no doubt you are aware of these options but thought i would post just in case.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Techguy777:
I am using swift backup right now actually as I was reading this and yes I do the same thing copy folder to the USB C drive. It's the only app I've bought in a year. Thank you for at least making a comment of some depth. I get burned out at xda because everyone doesn't say anything they just want answers for their problems and don't contribute to xda.

I did not know about the other app so I will be looking into it. Normally I wouldn't say this but buy Swift back and you get cloud storage. I'm like you I restore apps with an app and I will be using Xiaomi cloud now but also Google. Another app is migrate it's the best for flashing roms it restores your apps and data from twrp well not quite once you reboot.

I thanl you again because maybe I didn't know about Swift back it's important people respond.

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] JDubbed:
I thought I would just casually go through my installed apps and clean some up. I disabled the following...

1. Accessibility Suite

2. Gmail

3. Google TV

4. Google Music

5. Chroma

6. Razor Store

7. Logo+ (Uninstalled)

I then thought to myself that I would probably need the Accessibility Suite for apps that needed that as a permission to work. So I re-enabled it and it updated. I then rebooted and now the phone hangs at the Razor logo. I do have TWRP installed so I can get to that. I also have a complete backup from about a year ago using TWRP which I would like to use as my last resort. I am thinking that by disabling one of the above apps caused this issue. So, can I fastboot and re-enable them using adb? If so what is the command and the name for each app above? I am not an adb guru so the exact commands and names would help. Or if someone can think of another way to get my phone working besides a complete wipe I would greatly appreciate it! I am running MR1 stock with Magisk/art97. I do remember back in the day having a similar problem and I ended up re-flashing the ROM or something and it kept all my data but I think it just repaired the OS or something and that fixed a not booting issue. That was a long time ago so I cannot remember all the specifics but if that rings any bells for anyone as to another way I can approach this I am all ears. Thank you!
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Pachacouti:
Logo+ - you uninstalled it. I dont think any others will prevent booting. If there is no logo, it will sit till it gets one. Reflash logo+ if at all possible. (I have a logo.img in my firmware, but different fone.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] JDubbed:
Thanks for your reply. Logo+ is not a system app and shouldn't have anything to do with the Razor logo when booting up. Logo+ is a 3rd party app that allows to manipulate the colored logo on the back of the phone. For example when a notification comes in Logo+ can light up the colored logo on the back of the phone or make it flash. The app is from here. I've actually uninstalled and reinstalled Logo+ in the past when updating and such with no adverse effects. I can't imagine Logo+ would be the culprit here. What do you think?
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Pachacouti:
I think only logo+ is capable of preventing boot, because your bootlooping. all other apps should NOT cause ANY bootloop, because they do not access anything previous to logo+, your first step in your problem.

Try this...

Logo+ if incorrect in any way will not show. This CAN cause bootloops. No other app you mention can. Perhaps your fone took a silent update, maybe it checked for the Logo+ and 'kicked' you for messing with it. Maybe google decided not to like it, so silently ordered your fone to delete the logo you installed leaving you with no logo+, and until you can see a logo+ your fone will stay there, so try my suggestion, seems your only choice. I have been flashing chips for years so can help, just go with my suggestion, reflash ONLY stock system.img/.bin using your stock flashing application, you'll be glad you did.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] JDubbed:
I will follow your instructions but I am needing some clarification please.

The app Logo+ never came with the stock OS or the Razor Phone 2. It is a separate app made by a 3rd party. So flashing the system.img will not bring back Logo+. So should I first attempt to flash the Logo+ app using TWRP?

If you want me to reflash the stock system.img, I don't believe I have that. How can I obtain this? And could you please provide me with the steps to reflash? Should I use TWRP or fastboot and use Windows adb?
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] JDubbed:
So the Logo+ is only an app. Not a zip. So I don't believe I can flash that. Should I attempt to sideload it? Can I install an app on the phone when the phone cannot boot?
