[E 2015 Original Android Development] Pandowisk:
I had a Moto E2 that I got in mid-2016. Since 2017 I think, I used to change the ROM practically every week lol. Today, 4 years after I no longer have it, I am surprised to see that the surnia community is still alive. But I realize that little by little it is deteriorating. I would love to see an Android 13 comeback for him
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
There is DivestOS @SurniaJoseph
[E 2015 Original Android Development] Pandowisk:
Interesting. I've just had a look at the official DivestOS website. Could you tell me the differences between it and LineageOS? From what I understand, the version of DivestOS for surnia is 17.1, which means it's the version of Android 10
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Stable as hell. Top notch security. Prepared for microG, not GApps.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] Pandowisk:
I see, thank you! Any stable Android 13 for surnia?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] SurniaJoseph:
Not for now
[E 2015 Original Android Development] Pandowisk:
Ok, thank you
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
My OP6T had Ubuntu Touch (equivalent to Android 9) installed on it. When it broke, I tried to flash TWRP (version 3.3.1) to clear and reinstall Ubuntu Touch. For some reason it wouldn't boot, so I foolishly decided to flash TWRP onto every single partition. This only succeeded in breaking recovery mode. Following some advice I used the 6T MsmDownloadTool v4.0.58 (OOS v9.0.11), which fixed recovery mode, but not Android - it just showed the booting animation in a infinite loop (bootloop).

I've attached an image I found online showing the screen: bootloop

The issue is that I cannot flash in fastboot mode as the bootloader was relocked by MsmDownloadTool, *and* I cannot get into Android to enable OEM mode/USB debugging. I seem to have encountered a paradox where fastboot mode requires the permissions to be enabled in Android, but I can't boot to Android to enable those permissions, nor can I flash anything else to fix Android.

Is this possible to solve?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
You can try booting with the twrp.img. "fastboot boot name.img" using that ADB command. If that does not work the only other option is to completely retore your phone using msmdownload tool. This method will also depend on whether you have the international version or the T-Mobile version as there are different approaches depending on the type of phone. Read and study carefully how to proceed. If the msm tool does not work I'm pretty damn sure there are no other options.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
He can't boot into anything with bootloader locked. This is why msm tool sucks and people should stop recommending it for any little problem.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
Only option now is to use msm tool again and hopefully get something working
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
Even with the bootloader locked you still should be able to boot the recocery image.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
I have the 6T and 7T Pro. When I messed up my 6T my only hope was the msmdownloadtool. But make sure it's the right one.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
When I had to use the msm download tool it did lock the bootloader. But I was able to unloack it again from the ADB command prompt at the bootloader screen by typing fastboot oem unlock. But this can only be done if it is set in developer options.

I spent alot of time trying to figure it out but later found outthat I was using the wrong msm tool.

Good luck. I hope you get it and running again because the 6T is still a very good phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
Are there more suitable tools for fixing a broken recovery mode? It did successfully do that.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
How?

Thank you! And yes, I tried that command but it is probably unset in the developer options (which I cannot reach, as Android isn't working anymore). I guess I'm using the incorrect version - how do you identify the correct one? I think I've used both the T-Mobile one and the other. I don't think the phone is T-Mobile, but I'm not sure how to identify whether it is or not.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
It is very easy to convert a t-mobile variant to the international version. If you bought the phone used you would not know. One tell tale sign could be if you sim card holder supports either one or 2 sims. But that's not a sure way either because you can buy a replacement sim card holder. The fastet was would be to look up the IMEI # and see what variant of the 6 you have.

As for the msm tool you would needd a modified version of that tool. You first use it to downgrade to Android 9. Then you have to upgrade that verion of android 9 to a slightly higher version before you are able to fully upgrade feely to 10 than 11 if you wanted.

If you have the international version pretty much and version of the msm tool would work but a modified version would be best.

However, the first step is to find out which variant you have.

When you used the msmdownload tool which version did you use, and did it finish the job ?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
If you have the t-mobile vesion there is a thread on here that gives you step by step instructions to convert from t-mobile to international along with the links to download the software. And even the modified version will know what variant you have simply by not working.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
If you are able to get into the bootloader than you have a great chance of fixing your phone. Your phone is bootlooping so that tells me you can access the bootloader screen.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
When I bricked mine I thought it was gone forever, I spent several days working on it but I was able to restore it. But I would never use the ubuntu rom on any phone that I care for.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
When you are at this level it is very important you proceed with caution and don't just start flashing anything you can find. It will nake matters much worse.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
Wasn't sure about that. If that's the case, can you also flash from twrp then?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
No. Not without an unlocked bootloader. But booting into twrp would give you the ability to flash a ROM tho.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
That's what I meant. Flash a ROM from twrp. Ok so if that works this guy can fix everything from there. Gonna be a hassle tho. Instead of rebooting to recovery I think you would have to shut off phone and fastboot boot back into twrp to change slots right?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
Somehow I feel like that won't work but I'm not locking my bootloader to test it
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
I'm afraid I can't' find it... It is dual-sim though.

I used a few - both T-Mobile and not. They all succeeded with (seemingly) no error, but didn't fix the bootloop.

I see, but won't that need me to be in Android to be able to run the software?

Yup, fastboot and recovery mode work fine. The bootloader is locked though, else installing TWRP, etc. would be easy.

Yeah...

It doesn't do it automatically. Is there another way to boot it?

As far as I can tell there's no way to flash TWRP without unlocking the bootloader. And there doesn't seem to be any way to do that without getting into Android. And I can't get into Android...

Someone else suggested using this tool (https://github.com/bkerler/edl) as a last-ditch attempt. I'm going to give it a try and hope for the best!

Thank you both for your suggestions.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
Are you familiar with ADB commands ?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
Yes, why?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
He was saying it will still boot into twrp with locked bootloader. I don't know if that's true but you can try to get the twrp.img that works with whatever the last android version you were on. If it was a11 there's only 1 that works and it's not official if you need it let me know. Not sure it will even work but if you wanna try get to bootloader and connect to PC. Then fastboot boot (path and filename to the twrp.img)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
OK, I'll try that too!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
I tried this with `twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img ` and got the following error:

```

$ fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.000s

```

On a hunch I renamed the TWRP img to `boot.img` and unsurprisingly got the following error:

```

$ fastboot boot boot.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.757s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: boot is not allowed in Lock State)

finished. total time: 0.758s

```

Perhaps I'm doing something else wrong (why does it expect a `boot.img`?)?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
It doesn't that is weird but regardless it says right there you can't boot twrp with bootloader locked. That's what I thought originally. So msm tool is only chance
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rogerrulez:
Try the same but use the stock boot image.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
Hmm, where can I find that?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
I tried various methods involving re-flashing OxygenOS - no good. The bootloader being locked means that I just get `FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State)` whatever I try.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
Have you tried msm tool again?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
I have not - I might try it again today, but I'm not sure what difference it'll make.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
If things go right it should restore a working ROM you can get into and switch oem unlocking and adb on. I don't know why it wouldn't work but I'd try different ones. Don't give up yet
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AOnePlus6TDestroyer:
I tried all three versions - no good sadly. I think the last remaining hope is the EDL tool I found a couple of days ago. I'll need to install it on a live USB at some point and give it a shot.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dj24:
Title pretty much says it all. Was working fine until I updated to A12. Every time it gets to the 90-95% it hangs and says ''there was an error during the restore process blah blah.."

I've tried the usual suspects like clearing cache, deleting and then re downloading the app. No dice.

Can someone that's on Android 12 and that has this app go to settings- Account- viber backup and see if it works?

Any advice is much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] raul6:
backup works here. didn't try to restore though. if restore is issue maybe check viber has all permissions granted
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dj24:
Finally got it to work. I'm thinking Viber did something from their end to fix the hang up since it now completes the backup all the way through. No issues with restoring at all since that worked from the beginning.
[Introductions] Bazou7101:
I have been tinkering with firmware upgrades on my Asus TF700T and on my Beelink Mini MXiii-ii, they both still work great. I am not a young man so things are somewhat harder for me to comprehend sometimes so it takes me longer to get things done but I get there eventually. I am a VET, I still own a VIC 20 that still works, all my stuff is mostly ancient but I don't believe in trashing stuff that is slow but still good.

So is there a way to update firmware on my Beelink Mini MXiii-ii without bricking it?

I have been reading over these forums for a few days and have came to the conclusion that I need help from more experienced people.

I currently have a blackjack II, it serves me well but i would like something I can "play with more". Plus for the life of me I cannot get tmobile working properly on it.

So here is my question out of the Tmobile phones which is currently the best of skype and messaging. Thats all I am concerned about and call quality. being able to mod it is a plus since I get bored very fast.

i was looking at the wing, I really like the tilt and know pretty well from reading how to sim unlock. But once again theres the stupid tmobile settings.

Sorry for the newbie question. i have used search and the phone selection database but also wanted a more opinion of actual users. BTW my price range is around $250 give or take.

Thanks to anyone that can help :)
