Hey sorry I meant to post here but got caught up last night.

So I ended up with another bootloop ending with "pixel is starting" requiring me to factory reset. Thankfully I had JUST made a backup in TWRP the night before. And I try and pull any new files onto my PC as I'm usually on it and just end up charging the device from my laptop. I only charge to 80% so it doesn't take too long.

Anyway, I couldn't get it to restore. Until I did a format of my data.. (typing in yes, in TWRP). This got me able to restore my backup, and was very happy to see it in action, has been awhile.

I'm till quite confused as to why you aren't able to swap the slots using your backup.

I also did some more digging into a dual boot, as I was looking at very old (2016ish) "multirom" threads.

I found updated dual boots, that work on Android 11, and even with a great write up to get it ported.

I would absolutely love to give it a go, however it is easily possible to brick the device.. so not sure I want to do the porting until I have a serious amount of time to dedicate to the port,, or some help.

Here are the threads and directions I found.

Phew! Good to hear you we're able to use your backup to restore. Looking at your two links for dual boot, looks pretty intense. I think I'll probably just stick with my stock and maybe when I feel extra energetic, I can wipe the phone, reinstall stock and then restore data.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
The data partition is not segregated by slot. Nothing needs to be copied over.

The only thing you'd need to do is reboot to bootloader, set the active slot to A, and dirty flash the factory image (if you previously updated via OTA).

fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot update image-device-buildnumber.zip --skip-reboot
*After update, reboot to bootloader, then reflash the patched boot image if you're rooted*
fastboot flash boot <patched boot image>

You could then swap back and forth between A and B with no difference, as the factory image installs to both slots.

The whole point of the A/B system is seamless OTA updates - the system downloads, unpacks, and installs the OTA to the inactive slot, then reboots to that slot and sets it active, while the "old" software is still on the previously active slot. The /data partition is untouched and not a part of this process.

To help clarify:

Assuming the device is already on slot A with the January update: System downloads and installs February update to slot B

System then reboots to slot B and ensures boot is successful

Slot B is then marked "active", so slot A is no longer active

Device is now running on slot B with the February update; slot A is still the January update until the March OTA is installed

In case of a corrupted/failed OTA, the system can simply revert back to the original slot with no loss of data.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
Thank you brother! I was so upset until I realized I had such a fresh restore. and was even more upset when it bootlooped, but very glad I spent a few minutes and realized I had to format the data partition before it would install.

But all-in-all I learned from it, so positive experience in the end!

And that Dualboot MOD does look quite interesting to say the least.

Once I have some time I will certainly be looking into the guide to see if it's anything worth spending time on, if it's anything I can actually be able to complete.

Thank you for filling us in better my friend!

I knew the A/B system was pretty cool and used for OTA, but wasn't entirely sure just how they worked, this helps making things more clear.

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] ehsan1326:
Hi

I was trying to flash xiaomi.eu (xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20MI9T_V12.5.2.0.RFJCNXM_v12-11) custom rom to my Mi 9T device via TWRP recovery

I booted into recovery then I noticed TWRP isn't asking for a password for decryption

So dumb me ignored it and "Advance Wiped" all partitions except "Internal Memory" and flashed the rom from "USB OTG"

then problems started to appear

first the rom didn't boot and was stuck in a boot loop

so I wiped and reflashed the original "miui_DAVINCIGlobal_V12.1.4.0.RFJMIXM_e0ac13ed89_11.0" rom via TWRP from "USB OTG" to be able to back up my files and do a proper format/decrypt

but the internal storage is now still encrypted and cannot be accessed

I tried twrp decrypt command with all combinations of passwords pins pattern numbers that I used since first bought the phone but none of them worked

I know I should have backed up my files

Now I want to know how can decrypt /data/media/0 aka /sdcard aka Internal Memory and get my files

like mounting it in windows through some adb and other software and decrypting with known key combinations and passwords

or through twrp or whatever that maybe work

I really can't afford to lose my data AGAIN 😥😥😭😭😭

yes, that wasn't my first time!!!!!😢😢

I promise if this gets right I devote the rest my life to the open-source community 😅😅

excuse me for my bad English.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
When flashing a custom ROM, or going back from, you HAVE to Format (not just Wipe) Data

(And you don't need to wipe System because new ROM will overwrite it anyway, and you better never wipe Persist and so)

Obviously, you must backup your photos, data, etc, before switching the ROM

Data on Internal memory is encrypted, and not by your unlock pin (unlock pin just serves to verify and read the key).

New ROM reinitializes the encryption key

Hence, AFAIK, you cannot decrypt anymore because you don't know the encryption key that was used for data on your Internal memory

I recently reloaded AT&T's official version of WM6.1 back on my Tilt. I am only looking to get HTC Audio Manager back on it, but while it says it sucessfully loads, I can't get the Icon in the HTC home to launch it (even when I try adding it with HTC home customizer).

Anyone have any ideas (other than rom flashing) about how to get HTC Audio Manager launing from an official WM6.1 device. Of course the Diamond version would be okay too :)

I played around at the hard-core flashing last yet, but when WM6.1 came out it had 80% of the customizations I made. That and a couple cabs later and I am just one program away from ideal (for a lazy non-rom-flashing Tilt owner).

Thanks

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] -sandro-:
On xda site they said the OP8T can charge up to 27W with a PD charger however I tried many PD chargers with all kind of cables combination and it never goes above 1-5W.

I'm not the only one, there are many posts on reddit about this.

What's your experience on this?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] L0ND0NB0Y:
Same over here, can't get it over 5w.

Charging voltage has something to do with it, what's ur charging voltage?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] -sandro-:
Using a digital usb meter I noticed all PD chargers stay a 9V with 0.45A output. I tried a kernel on XDA that it's supposed to force fast charging but i didn't do anything.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] -sandro-:
I find it very weird nobody is talking about this on XDA, only a few threads on reddit.

If you are outside and you don't have your stock OP 65W charger with you you have a high possibility of not being able to charge at all since it can take 5 hours to a day a this speed. How is this even legal?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] azoller1:
I may be a little confused here, but I get pretty dang close to 27W of charging power when using my USB C charging brick that came with my Samsung Galaxy Book 360. Franco kernel manager usually says I average around 25W charging power. I'm assuming the USB brick is USB-C with PD.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] -sandro-:
HI,

First of all (I'm using a usb tester) I noticed the cable has nothing to do with this problem. I have one BaseUS 100W PD charger, one UGreen 36W PD charger, one BaseUS 65W power bank and one 18W power bank. They are all able to provider PD charging at 12/20V at their maximum advertise wattage with my devices and a usb-c laptop. They can also provide 9V/3A (tested).

I noticed then when the battery is below 60% connected with a usb-c cable they all default to 9V/0.45A and sometimes even 0.22A (last night I left it to charge and in 8h it only charged 7%!) when above that you can get 5V/2.5A which is much better.

So I'm not sure what exactly those PD chargers are missing if they work with all other devices.

Also I find it weird you can see 25W from franco kernel since the phone shows half of the wattage being a dual battery. So yhat would be a real 50W.

Well I guess this block is different. It says 5V 3A or 9V 2A, so 18W would make sense no? I'll try a different app. This is from the battery guru app and electron app:

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
There was a thread at OP forums about this issue.

OnePlus Community

Introducing our new OnePlus Community experience, with a completely revamped structure, built from the ground-up.

forums.oneplus.com

I suppose the problem is also in the technology itself:

In contrast to USB Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge technology, which increases the voltage during fast charging, VOOC/Warp Charge/Dart Charge use a higher current than standard USB charging.

All versions of VOOC require a proprietary cable to work. In addition to electrical requirements like thickness (low electrical resistance) to handle the high currents without overheating, the VOOC 2.0/Dash protocol requires a fifth pin on the (USB-A to USB-C) cable to communicate through. Without such communication, the charger runs at a limit of 5 V/1.5 A. From VOOC 4.0 this limit elevated to 5V/2.0A.

On the Android phone end, the VOOC communication code is open source under GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) version 2 as a part of the modified Linux kernel, and has been used by custom ROMs like Lineage OS.

So i presume it's just not compatible with many PD chargers.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] z761109021:
Oppo Gan Charger Kit supports 65W charging protocol，You can buy it about 80-90RMB on the Xianyu app 。There is also a power bank that supports 65W charging called Sdoutech but a little expensive , 400RMB/26800mah about four times for 8T
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] -sandro-:
Mainly I want to charge with other chargers and power banks I already have not buying other VOOC chargers.

I don't understand why it can't be compatible with many PD chargers if PD is a standard. What would be the discrimination factor here?

I tried charging the Pixel 6 that supports PD with every PD charger I have and they all deliver 23W, while on the OP8T all stuck on 5W or even less sometimes.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thiagosch:
Hello!

so, I don't know why i didn't post my problem before but, here I am.

I have two xiaomi mi a2 lite international version bought in argentina, one with android stock fully upgraded and the other with havoc.

the problem is:

sometimes the battery charges at like 1400ma (or something along those lines) and the majority of the time charges at 500ma and sometimes 0ma or even -100ma (this info is taken mostly from accubattery)

I've already changed the charging board on both(for other reasons) but this didn't solve the problem

I have 3 chargers (each with its own cable) and all of them behave the same.(i could have tree ****ty cables? could be, the cables are not the expensive ones)

here some screenshots: accubattery and at the bottom of the lock screen on the havoc ROM

View attachment 5524885View attachment 5524887

for what i see accubattery always is a lot lower on the mA compared with the lock screen

if anyone have a solution or troubleshooting process to check whats happening i will appreciate it.(this is going for like for 3 months)

(I'm comfortable with disassembly and probing with multimeter if necessary / rooting / formating)

----edit----

sometimes when it shows negative numbers and on those cases does not charge or does very slowly

sometimes the phones charge like 5% on 2 hours or so, and this happens most of the time on the stock firmware phone, the havoc one always has been more reliable even before installing havoc

thank you in advance

PS:sorry for bad english c:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You understand that you won't get full charge rates with the screen on? The power controller ramps down the battery charge current as soon as the display is on to protect the battery.

Accubattery will momentarily display the off rate for about a second after you turn on the display; it's sampling rate is once a second. Battery history gives roughtly accurate screen off charge amount and time.

Many fast chargers will not engage if the battery start temperature is too low. Best start temperature for Li's is 82-90F, 72F minimum.

If battery temperature gets too high fast charging will disengage.

The brick and cable must support fast charging by meeting that device's protocols.

If it's a graphene battery it's low temperature parameters are likely similar.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thiagosch:
yes, i know that, but as i mention on the post, sometimes it shous even negative numbers and on those cases does not charge. and i forget to mention, sometimes the phones charge like 5% on 2 hours or so, and this happens most of the time on the stock firmware phone, the havoc one always has been more reliable even before installing havoc
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Use know good brick/cable.

Consider a battery failure if capacity has diminished significantly especially quickly.

Any swelling is a battery failure.

Otherwise a charge port pcb or mobo failure.

If happening on more than one device, is the brick getting clean AC? Hot/neutral vs hot/ground wires are correct on wall socket? Voltage correct? Generally they are fairly insensitive to voltage fluctuations but if it falls too low they will charge slowly.

A power surge may have damaged one or more chargers but normally they are just dead when that happens.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thiagosch:
capacity its ok

not swelling

port pcb changed recently

mobo maybe

for what i know on my house, hot-neutral are inverted(yeah idk what was thinking the dude that wire this place) this could be a problem?

will try charging with an stabilizer and check if voltage fluctuation is a problem.

PS: thank you a lot
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Inverted is the same for the charger.

Makes you wonder about who did the wiring though. Might not be a bad idea the check the main breaker box sometime.

Something putting high frequency spikes on the line might mess with it.

Try another circuit in the house.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thiagosch:
sometime ago i checked the box for this particular reason, i was measuring earth(because some home appliances were shocking me, yep also some grounds were disconnected and thrown inside a junction box) and found out that they were inverted, and its from the main breaker input, i could fix it but i don't trust that no one is going to flip the outside main switch on while i have a wire on my hand.

oh... high frecuency spikes could come from a fridge without ground? I've never checked the fridge socket because is behind it, may well be running without ground...
