[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] interferometry4:
Why no OTA update?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] fourthletter:
I would wipe and fresh install. If it still doesnt work try installing Aeroinsta
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] thecrister:
Thanks buddy a fresh install fix the problem
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] interferometry4:
Do we have to dirty install everytime new version available?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SmartJuwel:
Maybe ROM is not official... 🙄
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SmartJuwel:
At the moment: YES!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] interferometry4:
where is the official?

can you give me the link?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SmartJuwel:
There doesn't exist any official. Official builds are available at PixelExperience-Website.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] afrokorean:
Hello PE 12 folks. How do I get rid of the bottom spawning pop up notifications?. They block the keyboard!. See attached pic.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] interferometry4:
Do you mean this : https://download.pixelexperience.org/vayu ??
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SmartJuwel:
Yes, I meant this. It seems, that it's official now. That's very good 👍
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] interferometry4:
what is the difference between official and unofficial?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] SmartJuwel:
In the case of Pixel Experience, as far as I know, it's not allowed to officially release versions if you don't own the device. It seems like the Maintainer now owns a Poco X3 Pro.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] interferometry4:
with this rom, is it okay to use no gravity kernel?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] jppmarujo:
Excellent job, very snappy and smooth. Congratulations on the work you've done with the ROM, the battery life is easily the best I've ever had with this phone.

Just a quick information: slow motion video gives an error. It records for 3 seconds, then the error comes up and the video is not saved.

Overall, really happy with this!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] interferometry4:
any updates with this rom?

Hi,

I am considering to get me an Athena and I need some help and advice.

I already own:

1x Blue Angel

2x Universal

1x HP iPaq 514 Voice Messenger

1x VDA GPS (aka Toshiba G710)

I also have an Asus eeePC 701.

My SIM has an internet contract included (100 MB download/month) and I have an USB Internet adapter which I can use i.e. with my eeePC.

Having said this, you probably understand I am a nerd and I like to "collect" phones and gadgets. The reason is simple: I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't waste money on anything, so at least, I think, I can get me some nice phones from time to time. All were bargains, most I got from eBay. The reason I like smartphones is that i carry them around all the time, so I can really have a benefit of owning them. A PS3, for example, may be a nice piece of hardware, but I would not have much time at home to really make use of it.

What do I want to know?

Basically, if you guy's can use the Athena as a phone. Do you REALLY use it as your sole mobile phone, or is it too big and clumsy (specially having to use BT headphone) to make calls?

The Universal is big, but it does fit nice into my back pocket of the jeans - how do you carry the Athena around?

What are the real advantages of an Athena, compared to a Universal? The screen resolution is the same (I guess having a bigger screen, will make the RealVGA usefull - on the Universal things get far too small), the CPU speed can be the same, by overclocking the Universal (actually not overclocking, but letting it run at full speed), the GPS is nice, but can be overcome with an external one (like the one I have).

I know these are lame questions, but 250-300 Euro is still a lot of cash and I want to make sure i don't regret it.

My major concern is that the device is not usable as a phone. I hate carrying two devices with me and that is exactly the problem I have with the eeePC: it's screen is too small to replace a proper laptop and to replace the MDA Pro, I would have to carry two devices with me. That's too much.

So any feedback is appreciated, as I am wondering what would be more USEABLE on a daily basis: an eeePC 1000 (10" screen, 1.6Ghz, 160 GB HDD, battery up to 6 hours...) for around 380 Euro, or an Athena second hand at eBay for around 300 Euro.

The eeePC 1000 has the advantage of replacing a laptop, but the disadvantage of not replacing a phone.

I know, long post, but please shed some light into this.

Thanks,

vma

x7510 a great device

I was a proud owner of a Blueangel for 4 years and loved it. I started to get tired of it a couple years ago and then I found xda-developers and discovered how to upgrade and turn my old WM2003SE device into a top notch WM6.1 device. Needless to say with all the smaller screen, slower CPU devices on the market I stayed with my trusty BA. That is until I found the x7510. My BA lives in a drawer in the bedroom now, I keep it charged so I have it if I need it, and I use my Athena exclusively for all my phone/PDA needs. I carry it in the back pocket of my blue jeans and it fits fine.

I have not regretted my upgrade from the BA to the Athena for a second. The only reason I have not sold my BA yet is becuase I have had the Athena for less than 1 month and am keeping it as a backup. I plan to go this weekend to the local market and have a custom belt carry case made for it. I am in Kuwait and it will not cost me much at all for this. The only reason I am doing this is for the added convenience not becuase it is required.

7501 is my everyday device

If yoi look at my sig. I also own quite a few devices. Since acquiring my 7501 6 months ago, I have not used any other of my devices. I used a BT headset with all of my oyher devices anyway. The 7501 is by far the best device I have ever owned.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
You can turn the volume all the way down and hold it like a regular phone, with the mic hole by your mouth. Its not perfect and not private in a quiet room, but its useable. I also hate carrying a BT headset all the time for private conversations, but my Jabra BT8010 also gives me caller ID and vibrate, "fixing" several of the major problems with the Athena all at one time. Also gives me a decent stereo headset for MP3 and radio streaming.

I've had mine a year now and will never be able to go back to a smaller phone. The screen is just so much more useable than most other pdas or phones.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] vma:
Thank you for your replies.

I think I will keep it on hold, though.

I have been researching the Ameo and basically understand that the 7500 and 7501 are basically similar and feature a real Hitachi Microdrive HDD.

The 7510 has a different keyboard and a 16GB SDD Flashdisk and requires a different ROM. I believe it cannot be SIM-Unlocked either.

There seems to be a problem with the Microdrive failing and having read-errors. This is a turn-off for me, when buying from ebay, as this fault is not easy to detect and proove, but surely may be a reason to get rid of such a device at ebay... Yeah, call me a suspicious guy...

The 7510, on the other hand, lacks the joystick and I definitly require that for my ebook reading, which I love. Paginating by touching the screen all the time is not very appealing.

Then there are those who say: go for the 7501, forget about the HDD and just get a 16GB SDHC. The point is: I can get that for my Universal!

So now I am wondering what REAL benefits I would have from an Ameo and I guess I will wait for either a superb bargain at ebay, a new one on sale at a local store (doubt that, however) or until the prices drop further at ebay (below 200 Euro).

Thangs again.

Cheers,

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] vma:
Hi,

I have purchased an Athena these days and here is what I have to say to all those considering the move from the Universal to the Athena.

1) The Universal reached the 100 Euro mark at eBay, while the Athena (7500 version) is being sold at 200 Euro. These are the prices at ebay.de for the MDA Pro / T-Mobile Ameo versions.

2) First impression: the Athena is big. And when I say big, I mean it! I already had played with one in a store, but actually owning one is different, because only then you notice it won't fit in any of your pockets! After using it for 2 days, I picked up my Universal and found myself smiling at the "small" size of it!

3) Second impression: damn! It is a huge device... I will have to carry it in my hand if I want to take it with me. I mean, other people carry a book or a filofax. I now carry this super phone...

4) Funtionality: there is everything you can think of. You get highspeed mobile internet, WLAN, Bluetooth, all possible GSM standards, motion sensor, huge ROM/RAM memory, 8GB microdrive, GPS, ... The Universal not only lacks onboard GPS, it is struggeling with having only 64MB RAM. That is a limitation for the upcoming WM 6.5 firmware releases being cooked. And even with WM 6.1 some limitations exist. Soldering extra 64MB on my Universal is too expensive in my opinion.

5) Screen: the screen is fantastic! Compared to the Universal, though it has the same resolution, it is big enough for the eyes to take advantage of small fonts. After using the Athena, I now look at the Universal screen and I have to admit it is a little bit too small for such a resolution.

6) Keyboard: despide several online reviews stating the opposite, I do like the touch and feel of the keyboard. i would have prefered separate numeric keys, though. Also, I like the Universal's keyboard design better. Having a separate magnetic keyboard is less functional, I think.

7) Pros of the Athena:

- big screen

- speed: fast device

- speed: internet is very fast, pages load much quicker than on the Universal

- GPS: nice to have everything in one device

- memory: yeah! 128 MB RAM plus 8GB storage, plus Mini-SD slot... That rocks! And you can always use a Micro-2-Mini SD card adapter to use the cheaper and more available MicroSD cards

- overall exquisit looking noble device: if you are a hacker, you will survive a lonely day in a hotel room with this beast!

8) Cons of the Athena:

- too big to fit any pocket, specially back trouser pocket... :(

- keyboard is a bit odd

*** CONCLUSION ***

So, is it worth the change from the Universal?

No.

You should not want to CHANGE from the Universal to the Athena.

You SHOULD have an Athena as a second device, which you use on special days:

- boring days in the office/mother in law/waiting rooms

- meetings (this 200 Euro second hand device will kill all the attention normally spent over iPhones and similar phones at over 600 Euro)

- trips (planes, train and hotels)

Plus, it is simply a gorgeous device, which does appeal to any hacker!

Hope this helped anyone considering which phone to get...

Official TWRP 3.7 For Galaxy A52 4G and A72 4G

Disclaimer

*I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
*Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this recovery before flashing it!
*YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Features:

Android 11, 12, 13 and 14 support

Encryption support (AOSP and OneUI)

Bugs:

Encryption only works on OneUI if no screen lock is set

Downloads:

A52 4G: TWRP.me

A72 4G: TWRP.me

How to install

Open Settings -> About Phone -> Software and tap "Build Number" 7 times until it says "developer mode enabled".

Go back to Settings -> Developer Options -> Enable "OEM unlocking"

Enter Download Mode by powering off your phone, then hold down both volume keys and connect your phone to a Computer.

Release all keys, then hold down Volume Up to get into "Device unlock mode" and confirm that you want to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe all data from the phone.

The phone will automatically reboot. Now go through the initial setup and connect your phone to the internet (either using Wifi oder Mobile data).

Go back to Developer Options and check that OEM Unlocking is there and grayed out. Your bootloader is now unlocked.

Download and install Samsung Drivers on your Computer.

Download the latest *.tar from the TWRP website for your phone.

Download Odin, from example from https://downloads.corsicanu.ro/samsung/.

Turn off your phone and reboot to download mode by holding down Volume up and Volume down and then connect your phone to a PC. Then press Volume Up once to get into Download mode.

Open Odin and check if your device is detected.

Put the TWRP tar file you downloaded into the AP tab and put disabled VBMeta in the USERDATA slot.

Click start and wait for the installation to finish, Odin will show PASS.

Immediately after the screen goes black hold down Volume up and Power button at the same time until you enter TWRP (You may need to release the keys after about 20-30secs due to the "unlocked bootloader" warning).

If you properly followed all the steps you should now see the TWRP menu.

Once TWRP has booted you need to format your data again to be able to boot into system.

Donations

This is not essential, but if you like TWRP and my work feel free to send me or TWRP a donation.

[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] MobAndro:
Hello Simon1511,

Please, to not make mistakes, the first time when I enter the TWRP, I must in the right order :

- 1 Format Data

- 2 Flash Multi-Disabler

- 3 Flash Disable DM Verity

- 4 Reboot on recovery or system to access the phone

In addition for Android 12, I have to root the phone first ?

Because I want to have on this phone also ROOT + TWRP.

I come from an s10 Android 10 and the way to install TWRP seems different... :sneaky:

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Elvaa:
The restoration is not working for vbmeta and super partition
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Restoring the super partition works fine.

However, restoring vbmeta is generally not possible because only Odin can flash stuff to it.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
TWRP has been updated to version 3.7!

Changelog

-Encryption/Decryption support for AOSP 12 and 13 ROMs
-Updated kernel to latest
-Fixed USB OTG and enabled NTFS support
-Switched to using FFS for MTP
-Added busybox bins
-Fixed ADB sideload
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SRooks1976:
Hope this works for Android 13 on "A525FXXS4CVK4".
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SRooks1976:
I hope the "DM Verity Disabler (Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip)" works for One UI 5.0 also...
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
You don't need to flash that.

As you can see in the guide you only have to flash Multidisabler.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SRooks1976:
Why this keeps popping up after I installed this TWRP recovery, whilst earlier I patched the original AP file with Magisk and installed the firmware with that AP file, rooted my A52 (A525F), it was not there.

But when I installed TWRP, format Data, installed multi-disabler zip file, this keeps popping up.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Well, this happens because the multidisabler zip disables most of Samsung's security mechanisms which (for somehow) make the phone think that a Service Provider Update is needed.

This should go away once you confirm it and/or reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] adrymagliocca325:
Can I root & install twrp with A13?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SRooks1976:
Nope, even after rebooting many of times, the s**t happens.......

Reverting to Magisk Method without TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ShaDisNX255:
This happens because you install a CSC that's not your original and it can't find the configuration for your SIM. Deleting system/priv-app/CIDManager should fix it.

hi simon, i've tried this twrp on android 11 but it seems i found a bug that is when i enter twrp my pc can't detect my phone, and also can't mount data. I also have a little question why when I tried to downgrade the twrp version to 3.5.2 and the problem disappeared but a new problem appeared, it happened when I flashed Magisk 25.2 instead I got a bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] zhekavd:
Only twrp-3.6.2_11-1-a72q.img.tar works with latest A12 (A725FXXS4BVI2_A725FOXM4BVG2_SEK). Need vbmeta_disabled.tar since A12.

twrp-3.7.0_12-0-a72q.img.tar & twrp-3.7.0_12-0-a72q.img.tar & twrp-3.7.0_12-0-a72q.img.tar have problem with formating/mounting data.

Deleting the .apk file should be enough but I always just delete the folder

Hello,

I have carefully followed all the instructions with all the required files in the 1st post, but unfortunately it's been more than 30 minutes that I stay on SAMSUNG Galaxy and I can't get into the TWRP either o_O😵😢

However, I have successfully install the vbmeta_disabled.tar with the European twrp-3.7.0_12-2-a52q.img.tar of the 1st post because Odin said Green PASS.

In TWRP, I did Format Data and flash multidisabler-samsung-v3.6-Simon1511.zip then I rebooted on System to get out of TWRP.

I'm under Android 11 last European Firmware EUX A525FXXS4AUL3.

I thank you in advance for any help, because I don't understand what happens on the phone 🤧
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
This is probably the issue here.

It does work fine on Android 12 and 13 though.

So either way, I would highly recommend you to flash the latest firmware (Android 13) before continuing with anything, especially since all custom ROMs require you to be on Android 13 based firmware anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] MobAndro:
Previously I had 2 bootloop with this guide after flashing Magisk Delta and then Magisk 26.1 and I thought that this old twrp-3.5.2_10-0-a52q.img.tar should definitely not work with the new versions of Magisk :cautious:

So I followed this more recent guide.

Only I really wanted to stay on Android 11 😔

Do you think that the phone is bricked ?

Because I can't even get into Download Mode or TWRP anymore and it's very worrying 😱😭
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
It's not, you can always re-enter download mode.

Just force reboot your phone by holding down Volume Down and the Power button until the phone reboots, then immediately hold down the key combo for download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] MobAndro:
Thank you very much ☺️

I was able to reflash the firmware properly and it has worked so far 😮‍💨

I would like to know please if you have any idea what happened on Android 11, because your TWRP was also made for it...

It's to understand because I'm interested to know the why of the how if possible :)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Pushed a small update out that addresses a few small issues:

Allow direct image flashing for logical partitions (system. vendor, odm, product)

Allow backups of SEC_EFS

Automatically disable flashing of stock recovery on stock ROM (you dont need multidisabler anymore)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] soxxoz:
Do you have the vbmeta_enabled file for cancel the flashing of vbmeta_disabled.tar file?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Any vbmeta image from stock ROM counts as "enabled".

However, if you flash that, you'll need to use full stock ROM, otherwise you won't be able to boot into android anymore (and that's why disabled vbmeta images are required).
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] soxxoz:
Thanks for the reply. I imagined that, but the download of stock rom is very slow and I hoped that there was the only vbmeta image for download.

I waiting for the stock rom, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] NRG-ONE:
I'm on lineageOS 20, on my Samsung A52 4G (SM-A525F), with lineageOS recovery

Now I installed via ADB shell with the DD command TWRP as new Recovery...

So i tried with TWRP to go back to STOCK ROM of my smartphone, but once the installation process starts it returns me the error that the .zip file (Samfw.com_SM-A525F_HUI_A525FXXS6DWG1_fac.zip) is invalid ... I downloaded the latest one for my country i found on samfw.com

what I did wrong?!?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
As I already said in the LineageOS thread, you need to extract the zip and flash the files using Odin (or Heimdall). Samsung's stock firmware can't simply be flashed through recovery since it's not a flashable zip.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] NRG-ONE:
Hi Simon, after I returned to stock firmware,

I installed "TWRP" as per the guide with Odin, through a Windows virtual machine on my mac, but when I put a .zip file i want to install, in the main path of the phone memory, and I start TWRP after i clicked on INSTALL button I can't find the file, I get a folders path that is not the one of Android in my device... as if I'm on a different partition... what's happened?!?

Thank you in advance for your helpfulness
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
As said in the first page of this thread, "Encryption only works on OneUI if no screen lock is set". Which means that you won't be able to access your internal storage in TWRP unless you use your phone without a screen lock. If you already had a screen lock set then removing it won't help either.

In other words: Put your zip on an sd card or USB drive or use adb sideload.
