[Samsung Galaxy M12] mdbshuvo:
After completing these five steps, when I try to boot to system, the phone gets into boot loop. And also, the recovery has some glitches, it often crashes and reboots all of a sudden.

Note: installation of multidisabler.zip was successful both times.
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
New u3/u4 version has been tested and all seems to be working
[Samsung Galaxy M12] mdbshuvo:
Should I try this one? Though my baseband version is u2. Cause previous one didn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
7. Reboot to recovery.

8. Wipe, format data, type YES.

9. Advanced, terminal.

10.Type multidisabler (twice).

11.Reboot to recovery directly.

12. Flash Magisk for root(only for method 3)

13. Backup boot, data, super and dtbo
[Samsung Galaxy M12] arsfr:
works but where to flash gsi's in twrp? boot, recovery, optics, prism, super.
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
super
[Samsung Galaxy M12] tonyniu2008:
hi there, i just tried all released versions here, only this version shows the UI, but seems the partition issue remains on this version, i can not even backup or restore, always says no data partition.

could you have a check on that?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
Did you format data?

My tester had u4 baseband
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:

System
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
For m12 gsi does not work, I tried to install twrp without decryption, the firmware got up through fastboot, but after unlocking the touchscreen did not work and had to reboot, which worked, only after unlocking it stopped working again
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
Why are you using fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
I know that twrp itself knows how to install partitions in system, it's just more convenient for me
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
Twrp will work
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
Yes, it works, it's just that the kernel needs to be modified so that the touchscreen works during unlocking, since I think it's in the kernel
[Samsung Galaxy M12] xilomvos:
how long is first boot supposed to take?
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
The first download does not last so long, 1-3 minutes, if everything is installed correctly, if not, it will be loaded forever
[Samsung Galaxy M12] xilomvos:
if i wipe all partitions (dalvik,meta,data,internal,cache,sdcard) and then try to flash gsi to system, should i still be able to boot? or do i have to basically restart?

i have been trying pixel experience plus
[Samsung Galaxy M12] xilomvos:
also i have been trying to boot after changing filesystem of data to ext4 and then tried with exfat
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
Cleaning such partitions will not lead to anything, when I put it, I just did it in recovery, went to wipe and swiped factory reset and that's it, and the firmware loaded
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
I'm sorry for my English, I use a translator, since I'm from Russia
[Samsung Galaxy M12] xilomvos:
btw fyi device is

a127f/ds

rom:128gb

ram:4gb

made in vietnam
[Samsung Galaxy M12] xilomvos:
its all good

so to clarify, straight from recovery reboot and format of data and then multi x2, you did a "factory reset" wipe and flashed the gsi in system and then the kernel or no kernel?

and correct anything if i said it wrong
[Samsung Galaxy M12] xilomvos:
also did you do method 2?
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
After I entered multidisaber 2 times, I booted into the system, after the system booted up, without going through the initial installation, I rebooted into twrp and swiped my finger on factory reset and installed gsi
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
I find I need to swipe 5 or 6 times
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
it doesn't work like that on the core for m12, I put the core from a12 and in recovery after 6 swipes it was unlocked, but when I put the core for m12, even after 6 swipes it remained not working
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
I made thus recovery from the a12s twrp and m12 kernel along with m12 dtb and dtbo
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
I just tried to restore only these partitions from the backup, nothing has changed, but I managed to put the kernel from a12 for the u4 bootloader, although after locking the phone immediately restarts
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
By the way, I want to try this, I'll install gsi firmware and install boot from some other model, suddenly it will work, I understand that it may not start, and the fact that m12 is similar to a12, so the cores are installed, but suddenly it will pass
[Samsung Galaxy M12] xilomvos:
my data is unable to mount i think. every time i swipe to factory reset it fails
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
as I noticed twrp is not very good at formatting data, it formats orage fox best of all, try formatting data via orange fox, because to put twrp and flash gsi, while I have no other ideas, I can throw off the Russian-language instructions for installing gsi, which I got
[Samsung Galaxy M12] KEMLEP:
***Mod Edit: Prohibited URL removed***
[Samsung Galaxy M12] xilomvos:
so my pin is being rejected in pixel experience plus and i had to reset the whole thing

the only way i was able to boot a gsi was to use a combination of ofox for u4 and twrp from this thread for u4. i had to format data in ofox and then flash twrp from ofox and flash gsi and kernel in twrp
[Samsung Galaxy M12] fragtion:
I have SM-A127F/DS

I could patch AP with Magisk and boot into OS fine

But when I try install TWRP (either twrp-a127f-u4-v5.zip, or twrp-af-ph-a12s-u4-v2.zip), it fails to factory reset or wipe data. Red error messages appear when trying to mount /data etc, as follows:

I tried installing dm-verity patch but it also fails at the end when trying to apply to /data..

Edit: These recoveries seem to be working:

'ofox-rog-phy-u4-a12s.zip' from https://t.me/a127f_res/87

'ofox-a127-dsn-u4.zip' from https://t.me/a127f_res/109

'smiley-twrp-a127fdsn-u4.zip' from https://t.me/a12schat/2965

Orange fox seems very impressive and unlike TWRP, OTG/usb storage does work in recovery

Problem now is I don't know how to prevent bootloop after wiping data in orangefox. Installing DM-verity before or after wipe doesn't help??
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
You don't use dmverity with Exynos 850.

Use multidisabler (twice)

7. Reboot to recovery.

8. Wipe, format data, type YES.

9. Advanced, terminal.

10.Type multidisabler (twice).

11.Reboot to recovery
[Samsung Galaxy M12] fragtion:
Thank you, it's all working now😎
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
Excellent
[Samsung Galaxy M12] M127G User:
Hi..I had a query... Haven't tried this twrp yet... The one I tried last couldn't decrypt internal storage and mtp didn't work on it... Can you tell me if these both work on this twrp? My phones baseband: M127GDDS3AUL1
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:

How to flash this?
[Samsung Galaxy M12] physwizz:
Installing Custom Recoveries Exynos 850

Recommended to use Orange Fox to format and TWRP to install GSIs

1. Install Orange Fox

2. Decrypt the data (Format and run multidisabler twice)

3. Reboot to recovery (not just reboot)

4. Install TWRP recovery.img into recovery partition.

5. Reboot to recovery.

Extract recovery.img from tar file

Method 1.

If you have already installed recovery and decrypted.

1. Boot to recovery.

2. Install recovery.img

3. Choose recovery partition

4. Reboot to recovery

(For Pitch-black just install the zip)

Method 2.

1. Download firmware

2. Extract ap file.

3. Patch with special magisk

Exynos 850 Resources

Special Patched Magisk Don't upgrade after using this one. https://t.me/a12schat/3609

4. Flash with Odin

5. Download recovery.img

6. Install TWRP app

7. Install TWRP

8. Choose file to flash.(don't select device)

9. Select recovery.img.

10. Reboot to recovery.

Go to part B

Method 3.

1. Download recovery tar

2. Connect phone to PC

3. Go to Download mode

4. Flash recovery tar into ap with Odin

Part B (You may need to change data partition to ext4 first if format ruins your system)

7. Reboot to recovery.

8. Wipe, format data, type YES.

9. Advanced, terminal.

10.Type multidisabler (twice).

11.Reboot to recovery

12. Flash Magisk for root(only for method 3)

13. Backup boot, data, super and dtbo

Recovery Problems

Most recovery issues can be solved by attending to the following issues.

1. Did you root using the full ap file patched Magisk .

(This contains the patched boot.img and vbmeta.img)

Exynos 850 users must use the special a217 magisk?

2. Did you then go all the way through the setup process?

3. Did you download the recovery to match your baseband?

See https://t.me/a127f_res/54 fir Exynos 850 recoveries

4. Did you hold down power and volume up after Odin says pass?

5. Did you format data, not just wipe?

6. Did you type multidisabler twice?

7. Did you reboot to recovery by choosing reboot from the menu and then choosing recovery?

8. To avoid touch issues go to settings and untick "allow time out"

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
hmm so looking at what custom ROMs the Pixel 5a and 5 got..it looks like we wont get many at all. 5a just got Linage and 5 got Lineage, Proton and Scorpion.

if 6 series follows this pattern then for custom ROMs something like OnePlus 9 would been better! :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] vlubosh:
For now only Proton.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
Proton is not about customisation so always used ROMs like ASOIP or Havoc which have extra features etc

I think Google has not done well with developer phones since Pixel 4. Pixel 2 was great but then from 3 people started to not develop for it or buy them.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Diablo2424:
There is a thread that someone is working on an AOSP build (I believe I saw it in the P6 forum), and GrapheneOS is working on a ROM for the P6/P6P as well. I would expect Calyx and Lineage as well to come out at some point, so time will tell what ROM choices we end up with. Hopefully more than just 3 or 4, but any are better than none!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
And Graphene, and AOSP.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jacasta:
GrapheneOS have just released their experimental build for the P6/P.

GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS)

New experimental release of GrapheneOS for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 is now available. SoC firmware images were previously only being included in the factory images and not the over-the-air updates. Some people ran into this despite there not being updates to ship yet due to slots.

Hi all, So I have just bought a Doogee X 96 Pro, with Android 11 on it and I found an updated ROM from the Doogee website that I want to flash. Trouble is, there are no real detailed instructions on how to flash this phone. Has anyone done any flashing of ROMs to this specific or any other Doogee phone that might be able to assist with detailed instructions on how? I would hate to brick a brand new phone!! LOL

Tried the latest cab from here:

Update 11: Direct from Chainfire:

=========================

TF3D QVGA - Release #2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=430718

Prior to installing the cab, I unzipped the OpenGL ES software drivers from here...

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=121298&d=1223892257

...to the \WINDOWS directory.

The results: TF3D-QVGA installed in probably 10 minutes. Very slow progress at the beginning, but when the bar hit the 50% mark, installation was completed just after one or two more minutes. Startup time of TF3D is quite good, too. Takes about a minute to fire up. The drawbacks: The software 3D driver seems broken on the BA. No textures, but all white surfaces. One can see, though, that the shapes are rendered correctly. The clock on the Home tab flips correctly, messages on the Mail tabs fly in and out like they should etc. Unfortunately rendering is a tad slow, too. Not very smooth, yet no stills either. One can see the animations, but even if the textures were okay, it would be too slow to really enjoy.

Does anyone have an idea where to find suitable OpenGL ES software drivers for the BA?

Cheers.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] wmvfan:
which rom are you using ?

on my rom installing takes 30min and startup after soft resett takes 30 min, too.

i also get the white textures.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] tbarn:
The "old" Helmi WM6 with German language files, which is really a fantastic ROM (always came back to it). Btw, when I tried TF3D, I already had loaded all kinds of stuff on my device (only about 15MB of internal memory free), so I'm really not talking about a virgin install, either.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] imatrix:
BA was never designed for 3D graphic the first place, if you guys really like Manilla interface, I strongly suggest try out the Manilla 2D. just an idea.

[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
Just bought this phone brand new and had the sense that the battery was draining pretty quickly. I noticed some weird behavior when charging to full and turning the phone off for some time and wanted to ask if it might just be a software issue. Also had a few more questions.

So the first issue is I saw happened after attempting to calibrate the battery by charging from 0-100% and past 100 until charge current was zero or negative (note I didn't bump charge it). I turned the phone off for an hour and turned it on again and it showed 97% despite me charging it to what I thought was actually 100%. To see if something was draining the battery I turned it off overnight again and when I turned it on it only went down 1% over 7-8 hours. Leading me to suspect a software issue. I used the 60 watt charger that came with the phone.

Another thing I did was try to get a battery health with accubattery. Using the 60 watt charger I'm surprised to see it estimated the capacity as 4400mAh and not 5050mAh. Can anybody confirm if they are getting the same results? (Charged in airplane mode with the internal fan off in a cool ventilated place).

Finally did the Netflix video test to compare the 6s to 5s and they are around the same with the 5s slightly ahead on playtime. Despite me matching brightness close enough that it was indiscernible which display was brighter. I played the exact same video synced and looped on both with audio off and the 6s hit about 14.5 hours at roughly 33% brightness.

Was wondering if somone could run some accubattery tests with the stock charger and see what you get?(you'd have to reset accubattery and charge from 0-100% and past 100% until charge current is negative).

Anyone else having battery wonkiness like this?
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
Can anyone please do me a solid and check average and max battery discharge rate with accubattery? I'm trying to figure out if I got sold a lemon.

With brightness set to the following at 60 Hz and wifi off.

View attachment 5477375
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
And does anyone know if accubattery directly reads discharge current or only estimates it?
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] imNazreen:
Hi. Maybe i am not really

This is from my rm 6pro global version result for your reference. Hope it helps for the comparison purposes. Tbh, i never crack my head off thinking about this overnight. But if you just bought the 6s pro and installed this apps to the phone, let it study your usage behavior maximum for a week to get a better result.
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] imNazreen:
I've been using for months and this part is what i am concerned the most. Looks scary though? 😂
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
Hey man. Thanks so much for looking into this for me 🙂. This is quite helpful

What refresh rate is your display set at most of the time? And do you usually have auto brightness on or is the brightness shown in your screenshot around where it usually is? Do you game heavily daily?

Your battery usage seems a decent bit higher than mine. But I'm glad to see our capacity estimates are in the same ballpark.
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
Also. I noticed if I charge my phone with the bundled charger. After I turn it off for a few hours and turn it on again the battery % is always suddenly 5 to 9% lower than it was when I turned it off. Does yours do this too or is my battery a dud? 🧐
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] blackhawk:
That's not how batteries fail.

Something in the background is draining it.

The charge current draw can vary widely depending on charge state and temperature.

Real time charging current readings are only valid for the first second on Accubattery as once it updates with the display on that will skew the reading. You have about 1 second until Accubattery refreshes so have that window open and look fast.

The power controller won't/can't use the same charging curve with the display on... and will charge much slower. It ramps down the charger current draw to protect the battery when the screen is on. Avoid using while charging.
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] imNazreen:
Most welcome. It is coincidence that i taking a walk in this forum and saw your post, so it is like my responsibility to respond at least as for your reference. Really glad that i can help you on that.

Refresh rate 99.9% of my usage will be 60hz to get my phone on long marathon for whole day. But i am charging the phone quite frequent as I am addicted to Asphalt9 and i have to settle down with the addiction. 😂

Most of the time i would prefer auto-brightness but would make some adjustment depending on my surrounding. Dragging as your brightness level on your post for your comparison with mine.

Yes. I am addicted to Asphalt9 and keep playing for almost 10 hours per day. And forcing me to keep my charger set standby in my bag to be use whenever it required. 😂
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] imNazreen:
Just for my own theory. Our phone is like car. Whenever it started, it will trigger all system around the 'engine' and forcing some energy to launch all the applications at the same time before you start to use it. But it side effect is painful to see you battery getting drop that much than giving you a little pleasure for a kickstart of the day. I tried once or twice to check on that kind of situation earlier, it dropped within 1-2% only. But the stranger thing i observed, after it got fully charged, and you unplug the charger, you may see it drooping 1% after few seconds. Still be a mystery to me. 😂
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] imNazreen:
I am totally agreed with you as to test the charging speed, the apps does remind us to turn off the display and check after few moments then you can see the charging process is functioning based on when the charging started & for how long was the screen being asleep while charging.

Psst~~ i have a bad habit by using my phone while its charging as i did right now to reply your comment here. 😂
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] blackhawk:
It's better to do brief midrange power cycling (40-72), Li's like being cycles like this. It reduces the wear on them a lot. Only takes 10 or 15 minutes.

So when you take a break, let it charge.

You can listen to music on bt with Poweramp with the screen off and not effect the charge curve.
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] imNazreen:
Another thing i would like to seek your advice, does the 'charge separation' is really useful while gaming? Does it affecting our battery life if being enable frequently for a long hours gaming?
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] blackhawk:
High discharge rates and back to back fast charging is hard on the battery.

Best to give it some rest breaks especially when you start using more than 10%@hr.

Expect a battery lifespan of about 1-2 years on a heavily used device.

I watch a lot of vids on my N10+ and will replace the battery after about a year, sooner if needed.

It's simply not worth the risk of damaging the device over a $16 battery.
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] imNazreen:
I see..and hell yeah to look for a rm6 pro battery is not an easy thing and not always ready on stock.

Fyi, i have some OCD symptoms which i could not see any less than a full charged battery capacity before i am going out. Is it affecting to our battery life span if it keep full charged even my battery still got more than 50%-80%?
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] blackhawk:
Watch a tear down for it to see how bad it actually is to replace the battery. Availability will hopefully improve.

In the daytime if the battery has 70% or more of a charge on it, I don't top it off.

At night if it's at 50% or more I don't give it a partial charge until I wake up.

I can charge whenever I need to, so I take advantage of that.
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
Thanks. This is good to know. Thing is. My battery drops when the phone is off (not screen off, literally phone is turned off) it drops the most after a fresh charge and if I repeat the process it drops very little. Its almost as if it thinks it's charging more than it really is and then drops quickly to the real value?? But here's the thing. It also happens when I do a complete 0-100% charge and then overcharged it until it shows negative charge current. Like the battery should be full at that point shouldn't it? Or is android thinking it's full when it's not and completely cutting current? Is this just a software issue as I suspect?
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
Ah

Ah I see. Asphalt 9 + auto brightness explains your fast drain. Still it make me worried my 9% per hour drain is too unusually high.

It baffles me that the Redmagic 5s wins the Netflix endurance test vs the 6d
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] blackhawk:
That's not normal. wtf?

Lol, it has a negative attitude🤣

No idea what's causing that but the battery percentage indicator sounds useless.

Return it if you can. May be a mobo failure in progress...
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
I did it again this time at 63% and my battery went up to 65% while the phone was off overnight. Only to drain to 62% over the course of 20 minutes with the screen off 🤦.

And whenever I fully charge and do a voltmeter hard reset the battery always drops about 7% after the reset.

I think something is very wrong with the battery meter calibration.

Why do you think my mobo is failing?
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] blackhawk:
Sort of sounds like it. At least the power controller chipset.

Voltmeter hard reset, what is that?
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] Dog&Banana:
So you're saying it's a hardware problem?

Or do you think the software is misbehaving? Usually it's more pronounced when I fast charge and I wonder if it's a protective mechanism to keep the battery wear low while allowing Nubia to reduce advertised charge to 100% times.

Voltmeter hard reset: dunno if that's what it's called, but you hold the power button for 15 seconds until the Nubia logo appears a second time and you let go and it resets the voltmeter. I guess technically it's just a reset but it also resets the voltmeter and battery capacity. Problem is after every fast charge it ends up needing correction.
[Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro] blackhawk:
Interesting. I don't think a hard reboot effects Samsung's like that.

It maybe a firmware glitch.

Could be a solder crack, etc. Hopefully others will experience the same issue and an explanation/solution will come forward.

If not it seems more likely to be hardware.
