[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
Why you want to flash AOSP? Stock not good?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] lucasgta95:
I want to squeese more RAM and I don't like MIUI too much, I feel spyed...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
Then i will suggest some from my experience:

- For customize: AncientOS and Nusantara are good for me

- For camera: If your phone is India one, LineageOS GSI from Timjosten is the best, based on Q-Oss and use Miui Cam with it feature (not ANX)

- For battery/perfomance: Try some custom kernels and find out with are the best for you

- For A11 with A12 exprerience: DotOs A11 is good

- For A12: not stable, but some can use at daily rom (AncientOS), some other A12 roms has some other bugs, Bluetooth issue.... And mostly screen recorder won't work by defauft, need to install other app or do something idk.

- And some other roms with their special you need to flash to find out.

- AOSP has some random bugs. And it's good for me doesn't mean it's good for you. Maybe just flash and find out with one suitable.

- If you dont know where to find these roms and their flash guide, you can try type Redmi note 8 pro Official or Update on Telegram. Idk why they drop many updates and new roms in XDA
[General Questions and Answers] sme3mis:
I am very computer illiterate so I am hoping someone can help me here! My friend has a Galaxy A01 with a broken screen and he needs his contacts off of it. He didn't have it backed up in google or anything. I have his broken phone here. CAnt I just connect his phone to my computer and somehow retrieve his contacts off of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, you have to be able to unlock the screen in order for PC to connect to the device. Your screen is broken which means you can't unlock the screen. If they did not have anything backed up to Google then I'm pretty sure they also did not have USB debugging enabled. Between the screen being broken and USB debugging not being enabled, you are pretty much screwed with no way to retrieve anything from the device.

This is what happens when one takes things for granted or never considers that things can easily go wrong and overlooks the necessity of backing up important data to avoid the situation they are currently in.

Accept your losses and consider it a learning experience. In the future, make certain to back up important data.
[General Questions and Answers] nazhai:
Hi, do you mean your computer can detect your friend's phone via USB cable? If yes, try Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its free backup function can help you access to contacts on the phone and export them to the computer via USB cable. It's easy and safe. You just need to enable USB debugging on the phone. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.

You may not able to get back contacts if you don't have a backup on Google. You can check the local backup. If you have taken local backup then, you can bring back his contacts.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] TheDXDan:
Hi All

I have just purchased a Find X2 Pro unlocked from a store as a used return, it has come unlocked from no carrier but says CPW (which i assume stands for carphone warehouse?

This isn't the main issue for me but what is is the fact the phone refuses to update at all

I have tried various VPN's on different regions and still no luck, OPPO's UK website doesn't even think the find x2 pro exists on their support page so i can't manually download firmware to flash it, the recovery updater also has no luck. I've also tried doing the region swap tool i saw on another thread but had no luck setting it up as my ethernet adapter doesn't have a "network address tab"

At the end of the day, i cannot find a single way to update this phone, has anyone else faced this issue or know another potential way to fix it? If not then the phone is being returned ASAP since this isn't acceptable from OPPO

Thanks for any potential help

EDIT: I have managed to get into the engineer mode to change the software region, even after changing it to EUEX i cannot get any updates with various VPN's
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] TheDXDan:
Update: I contacted OPPO support and they provided me with an file to install from the recovery that has solved this issue
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] ScratMan38:
What is your version now ? And could you please share the file ?
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] TheDXDan:
The build they sent me was a March 2020 Android 11 build which has now allowed me to update and now running C75 however i did change the branch to EUEX as stated in my post so no longer running the CPW build. Didn't even require a VPN (in UK)

File on MEGA

mega.nz
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] ScratMan38:
Thanks, unfortunately I'm stuck on C.70 from August. So I don't think I could install your file on my phone.

How did you contact Oppo to obtain this file ? I contacted the support on global site to request an update, but they said to wait for OTA to come.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] TheDXDan:
I contacted the UK site (since im in UK) via live chat, they asked for the software build and IMEI and told me they would send me a link via email within a few days (came next day)
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonah72:
Thanks for this. I contacted Oppo about my X2 Pro, the link they sent me kept saying installation failed. Your download worked straight away and am now on the January security patch. I have not changed region or anything else. Thanks again for posting download.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Andrei_1:
Hi @TheDXDan, I have exactly the same problem, bought a Find X2 Pro with the same CPW_11_A_26 version you were showing in the photo above.

Would you please be able to share again the firmware you used? I tried the link you provided above on 'mega.nz' but the file is no longer available there.

I also spoke to Oppo support, they pointed me to a download called "CPH2023EU_11_OTA_17501380_all_MWTyBnliH0nz.ozip" but that did not work, a couple of seconds after I start the update it says 'Installation Failed' :(

I wonder if changing the software region to EUEX, as you did, is essential for this firmware update to work? @Jonah72 , did you have to change to EUEX?

Many thanks for any help with this.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonah72:
The link OPPO supplied me didn't work and kept saying "installation failed". I didn't change to EUEX, just installed the update from the link above
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonah72:
@Andrei_1 https://mega.nz/file/MIZCgS5Y#DiS9NrPd8W7BJ05ZJ32BmFx6j6jPPS5I3hvmT04MYGg

Pretty sure this is the update I used
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Andrei_1:
Thank you so much for the link @Jonah72!

Downloading this firmware now ... I will try it out and report back.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Andrei_1:
This link worked for me, thank you @Jonah72!!! And I did not have to change software region for it to update.

With this firmware file it updated from the old Android10/Coloros7.1/rev 26 that the phone came with, to Android 11 rev. 65 [at least I think it was 65]. After that the phone was able to do further OTA updates, it found/installed several updates quite quickly, I think about three of those got it all the way to Android 12 with a security patch from May 2022, which it now says [quite plausibly] is latest. Previously the silly thing was saying that the Android 10/Coloros 7.1 it had from 2020 was 'latest'.

So I am very happy with this. I have to say, I don't notice a massive difference in use between the old Android10/7.1 and this latest Android12, but there are some slight improvements (for example, with the old firmware screen rotation was unreliable on this phone, it seems better/fixed now). The camera app has some improved configurability. There probably are some more subtle new features in Android 12 vs Android 10, that I just didn't notice with my rather basic use of the phone.

Anyways - thanks again. Without your help I was probably going to remain stuck on the old firmware for eternity, since Oppo UK support have been totally useless in solving this, despite my wasting a lot of time chasing them.

How you got updated to 12 , and after how much time after downloading thia firmware you got the update?

For mine after suffering 2 week i found your comment and i update using this firmware but i found some problem with camera software and i need to update to color os 12.

And which is your country so i can use vpn to receive ota update
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Andrei_1:
Hi @Coagulation

After flashing the update to Android10/Coloros7.1/rev 26 I got the OTA updates to Android 12 within the next hour.

I am in the UK.

I guess what OTA updates are available at any time depends on OPPO and maybe also on your mobile phone operator.

My samsung Sm-G975u was unlocked before on android 9, but when i flashed it with andriod 11, UI3.1 SPR firmware it became network locked. How do i fix this"?.. I am new to this I Dont really understand. .and I did it with ODIN..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ratcliffe_mike:
I have a bad connection inside my home so Wi-Fi Calling is a must. To enable that I need to change my CSC to H3G (Three UK).

My CSC appears to be set to KDI (Japan) but I don't see anything remotely non-english on it... it does struggle to get a decent signal though.

I have tried:

The magical combination "*#272*MYIMEI#" but that does nothing.

Updating the Firmware via Smart Switch but it gave me no options to upgrade.

Using Odin (3.14.1, 3.12.10 & 3.13.1) but they all fail with "Re-Partition operation failed" even though I don't have that option selected. My phone then shows "Secure Check Fail: PIT" at the bottom of the download list.

Just using Odin to flash only the CSC but that fails with the same error.

Using the PIT file and selecting repartition also fails the same way.

Debug mode output after attempting an install with ODIN:

RPMB fuse blown
RPMB PROVISIONED
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS : Official
FRP LOCK: OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF
WARRANTY VOID : 0x1 (0x400)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT : ENABLE
RP SWDEV : B1(1.1.1.1.1) Kt St
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
DID: MYDEVICEID
SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT

Manual firmware update on the phone returns "Processing Failed."

My model is SM-G960F and I am currently on stock firmware.

I am fairly certain that the firmware I downloaded is correct:

SamMobile: G960FXXSHFUJ2_G960FCKHHFUJ2_H3G

Freja SM-G960F_2_20211026122914_uxziimv9mb_fac).

Of course, I have removed my Google and Samsung accounts from the phone.

CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845

And just in case this helps:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ratcliffe_mike:
The only stock firmware that exists for the SCV38 uses the KDI CSC (it's the Japanese S9).

Is it possible to change the CSC on SCV38 from KDI to anything else?

Ideally I would be able to change it to H3G so that Wi-Fi calling can be enabled.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8A Guides, News, & Discussion] Midd741:
After a whole day of trials and errors I managed to get walkaround of bootlooping into TWRP. Here's the steps:

- Download 64bit TWRP

- Download patched vbmeta.img

- Download stock image, tgz file, in my case it was olivelite_global_images_V11.0.2.0.QCPMIXM_20200925.0000.00_10.0_global_886496ba27.tgz

This one should be good too.

- Unpack stock image and get vbmeta.img from 'images' folder

- Download custom ROM you want to flash (crDroid in my case)

Now we have TWRP image, ROM image and two versions of vbmeta image - patched and stock.

Next:

- Reboot to fastboot (poweroff, push power button + volume down)

- Flash patched vbmeta:

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

- Flash TWRP:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.1_9-20210318-olivelite-arm64.img

- Reboot to recovery:

fastboot boot twrp-3.5.1_9-20210318-olivelite-arm64.img

or:

fastboot reboot <--- pushing volume up button

- Insert sdcard with custom ROM, wipe all you need, flash the ROM

- After flashing reboot again to fastboot

- Remove sdcard (not sure if that is needed but I had some issues when I have booted with sdcard)

- Now, in fastboot mode, get stock vbmeta.img file and flash it:

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot reboot

If you skip reflashing vbmeta with stock vbmeta.img image your phone will keep rebooting to TWRP, and never to the System.

If you flash Magisk and update it with the application, then you have to reflash stock vbmeta again. You will know, because your phone will boot/reboot to TWRP.

And that's it!
[Xiaomi Redmi 8A Guides, News, & Discussion] mll2:
Very useful tutorial, thanks. But mentioned by Seyed on Havoc-OS' Telegram group, to go to a custom rom like Hovoc-OS from miui, only the following steps are needed:

- Bootloader must be unlocked

- reboot to fastboot mode and connect to pc

- open terminal

- type "fastboot devices" enter

- type "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" enter

- type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

- reboot to recovery

-Wipe system,Cash, data,vendor

-flash custom ROM

-format data(and type yes there and press enter)

-reboot to system

Any device will do the job, there is no need to use a specific device. Apps are apps and they work on all phones, provided that the app is compatible with the android version on the device. Some apps require at least a certain version of android but that should not be an issue as long as you are using a relatively recently released device and if you are working with current android versions.

Kinda confused by your answer, maybe you can clarify. The article states that it will provide "a user interface similar to Harmony" which doesnt mean it will be a harmony OS. Nor does it state it'll be google based either.

You can try it in safe mod. If that stops the reboots it's a 3rd party app likely causing it.

Regardless after a major firmware upgrade it's best to do a factory reset.
