[Touch HD General] !SINGH!:
Hi all.

Does Line 1 / Line2 work?

I have a Xperia X1 and Line 1/2 works perfect.

Line 1 / line 2 = ALS.

Anyone shove an Orange UK sim and tell me if it does...or not,

Thanks all...
[Touch HD General] Acelister:
It does work with Line 1 and 2. It's the same as the Diamond, Settings, Phone, ALS and select a line. :)
[Touch HD General] iznee:
Can someone plse enlighten me,whats the signaficance or purpose of having this switcable line setting? We can only use one sim card and one line at a time right?So whats the purpose of this feature?

Thanks in advance for all ure help.

cheers
[Touch HD General] Acelister:
You can receive calls on both lines. For instance: one business, the other personal. For your average user, it's got no use. But for businesses, it's useful.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] I_Have_No_Username:
I installed lineage os 17.1 on my redmi 2 prime phone. i downloaded it from here. After installing it through twrp(3.6.0), I rebooted to system. After rebooting it came to the lock screen. when I type my password and hit enter, the screen goes black for a second and it comes again to the lock screen. I tried this video on youtube, but when i click on app info after the system UI crashes, the screen again goes black and back to lock screen. All my installed apps are there and i even receive notifications from them. I tried connecting it to PC, but usb debugging seems to have turned off. I dont know what to do.

I don't really care about the data in that phone. I just want it to work.

PLEASE HELP!
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] wenyendev:
I would suggest you flash a rom from lineage official website: https://lineageos.org/ or a rom from XDA forum.

To solve this issue, if you can still enter recovery

- format data - "yes";

- clean-flash a new rom.
[Google Pixel 6] P1an:
I have a problem with Smart Lock on Pixel 6.

When Trusted Locations or Trusted Devices is activated the fingerprint reader will not work properly from the lock screen.

It does not light up properly and I always have to put my thumb on it twice for it to unlock.

Have been like this since I bought it in November, have hoped that an update will solve it, but apparently not.

Have also googled a lot about the problem but can not find anyone else with the same problem, so do not really know what to do.

Does anyone else have this problem or anyone who has tips on how to solve it?

I have uploaded two videos so you can see my problem.

Smart Lock activated:

Smart Lock disabled:
[Google Pixel 6] mosio:
My advice is to stop using Always On Display. That behavior is what was too annoying for me to bear with.
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
Meow meow! 😻
[Google Pixel 6] P1an:
I rather disable Smart Lock. But there must be something wrong with my unit, because other people don't seem to have the same problem.

Can someone try Smart Lock and see if they have the same problem?
[Google Pixel 6] mosio:
I do have the same problem and I suspect that it may be connected to the fact that I've disabled the "forced lift to check phone" via adb before.
[Google Pixel 6] ichi go:
Hello P1an,

I have Smart Lock enabled with a Fitbit band and all seems to work well.

When on the lock screen, the phone is already unlocked through Smart Lock or if my fingerprint is asked, it is really fast.
[Google Pixel 6] P1an:
Happy to hear it's working like it should for you 🙂

Could you be so kind and make two videos like I did, one with Smart lock activated and one with it disabled so I can see how it's working for you. That would be very much appreciated! 😇
[Google Pixel 6] ichi go:
Hi P1an!

I hope I understood correctly the issue you’re facing 😅.

Here are my videos:
[Google Pixel 6] P1an:
Thank you for your videos, but the second video was not really like mine.

Could you try turning off "Tap to wake phone" under lock screen settings. And then try to use the fingerprint sensor and post a video of what happens for you 🙂😇
[Google Pixel 6] P1an:
Finally it's fixed with the latest update! 😁 Now Smart Lock is working like it should with Always on display.
[Google Pixel 6] ichi go:
Nice to hear! What update are you talking about ?

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] PRofec:
Im wondering if anyone has tried to use Xperia Companion (XC) to install firmware other than the latest available. XC uses firmware files located in the ...UpdateEngine\localstorage\US\ folder, so i thought i could swap them with files downloaded from Xperifirm. I even renamed Android12 binary files with Android11 filenames, but appears XC is too smart for me. Trying to Repair offline doesn't work either.

I ask because im now on Android12 and would like to go back to Android11, but im having no luck. Flashtool comes up with errors, Newflasher gives me the "Your device is corrupted" warning.

I'll get there eventually, i hope.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] liggerz87:
From what I understand you'd have to do a clean install and also unlock bootloader once you go up an Android level you can go back sorry I can't help you
[General Topics] The_Real_Beef:
Spent a fair bit of time searching, and had some trouble trying to get this to work, so I figured I'd share what ended up working for me in case someone else ends up in a similar position and tries googling around for it. I used the perl script at https://github.com/tmo1/contacts2vcard - everything else struggled to handle either the exported .csv table or I had trouble with errors.

I wanted to extract my contacts, but since I had a more or less bricked phone I couldn't export as vCard nor upload them to some cloud service.

Steps:

1. Grab the contacts2.db file (if you have a large -wal then consider performing a 'vacuum" See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...f-sqlite-3-7-wal-file-into-main-database-file)

2. Get Perl running if you haven't, and install dependencies listed

3. Run the script, get vCard, drop onto new phone, open it and import.

A few notes

- If you're on windows, install something like strawberry perl, then go to the cmd line and install https://metacpan.org/pod/vCard and https://metacpan.org/pod/DBD::SQLite as dependencies. Install instructions you can paste into the command line are on the left side under the Tools category - click it and it'll give you the command prompt ready input you can copy/paste.

- Even on Android 12, import didn't work when I had exported as vCard 4.0 - I used the -v 2.1 switch and then everything imported flawlessly.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It seems the safe mode instructions from various sites are a little inconsistent. Since the common thing to do is take what worked on a phone four years ago and assume it works for any Samsung, a lot of bad advice gets circulated. To make things easier, here are the two working methods for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3.

From the home screen or powered device:

If the side key is configured to power, press and hold it until the power options appear.

If Bixby is the side key, replace holding the side key with the side key + volume down.

Tap and hold the power off menu button until you are prompted with a safe mode option.

From a powered off or boot looping device:

Make sure the device is powered off (charging is ok, as long as it is not currently trying to boot)

Hold the side key and continue to hold it until SAMSUNG appears and the device vibrates.

Immediately release the side key and begin holding volume down until the device is booted.

If Safe Mode was successfully booted, a translucent "Safe Mode' is shown in the bottom left.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
Great! Thanks! Able to...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] RumyTs:
My phone asked to update the system and then it went on safe mode which I cannot turn off. I followed all the instructions but nothing works. Please help. I cannot use my apps at all

Factory reset. Based on the information provided, something was incompatible with the update.

[Motorola Edge 20 Lite] sd_shadow:
The boot.img needs to be the exact same that's currently on the device.

Same

Device Model #

,

Codename, and Software Channel

.

The safest way to do this is to Use LMSA's flash rescue option

Flash the firmware with LMSA, then find the boot.img and patch it with Magisk.

There are other Hide Mods for Magisk, just use the current version of the app.

The patched boot.img will just on the device like other user files, just make a note of the name and location.

Connect the device to the PC and look for it with file explorer.

Yes
[Motorola Edge 20 Lite] trevtdogg:
thank you for the reply and answers!

i'm doing this now. just to check, i'm assuming i don't really need to flash the firmware to my phone at this step... did you mean instead just download it using the rescue option, get the boot.img to patch from the rom that way and then continue - without flashing my phone?
[Motorola Edge 20 Lite] sd_shadow:
The biggest issue with rooting moto devices with a patched boot.img is a mismatched boot.img.

The easiest way to avoid that is just by flashing the full firmware before flashing the patched boot.img

It's not required, if you have the correct boot.img, but it's pretty easy to use the wrong version.
[Motorola Edge 20 Lite] trevtdogg:
i understand.

so i just used the LMSA rescue option to download the correct rom, edited the flashfile.xml to take out the erase userdata option, flashed the firmware. LMSA said success, phone rebooted by itself, but is stuck in bootloop.

should i try flashing it again with the erase userdata back in? but i can't remember exactly which line it was, either before or after the erase metadata line i think...

edit - i ran a getvar all and compared it to the one i saved from before i flashed the rom. the only differences i can see are:

old-

(bootloader) slot-successful:_a: yes

(bootloader) slot-successful:_b: yes

(bootloader) slot-bootable:_a: Yes

(bootloader) slot-bootable:_b: Yes

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:_a: 1

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:_b: 1

now-

(bootloader) slot-successful:_a: no

(bootloader) slot-successful:_b: no

(bootloader) slot-bootable:_a: No

(bootloader) slot-bootable:_b: Yes

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:_a: 0

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:_b: 6

does that help work out what happened?

edit 2 - tried it again with erase userdata added after erase metadata, still got boot loop after successful flash. getvar now shows this:

(bootloader) slot-successful:_a: no

(bootloader) slot-successful:_b: no

(bootloader) slot-bootable:_a: Yes

(bootloader) slot-bootable:_b: Yes

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:_a: 2

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:_b: 7

edit 3 - tried a third time with erase userdata before erase metadata, and it worked! booted fine. getvar shows this now:

(bootloader) slot-successful:_a: yes

(bootloader) slot-successful:_b: no

(bootloader) slot-bootable:_a: Yes

(bootloader) slot-bootable:_b: Yes

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:_a: 1

(bootloader) slot-retry-count:_b: 7

does the parts not yet restored to the original settings mean i still need to flash it 'properly'?

not sure if erase userdata position or inclusion had anything to do with it or not, maybe it just wasn't properly flashing and had some files not copied properly?

maybe i should get a new pc data cable? the phone didn't come with one (only came with a usb-c to usb-c cable), so i'm using a pc to usb-c cable that came with some bluetooth headphones for charging them.

edit 4 - bought a new cable, re-flashed it, same result as in edit 3. it boots and appears to run fine, but 'fastboot getvar all' still shows '(bootloader) slot-successful:_b: no".
[Motorola Edge 20 Lite] trevtdogg:
despite slot b showing unsuccessful in 'fastboot getvar all' (though still bootable), and with no further warnings or advice from others here, i went ahead with the steps and rooted with magisk.

all done! google pay looks like it will work (i'll test it later today) worked, and YASNAC shows all tests passing :)

slot b still shows the error as above on fastboot, but the phone appears to be working fine. i followed this guide for setting up magisk and it worked great! https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/post-86321923

thank you @zgfg, @sd_shadow, @CFKod, @TakaSZK, and @AshleyJackson your posts helped a lot! and hopefully this all might help other inexperienced people like me who try to do the same.
[Motorola Edge 20 Lite] trevtdogg:

[General Questions and Answers] jonnyprogamer:
Hello, i have a problem with the internal storage of my android tablet, basically i installed a custom rom a while back but the wifi didn't work on it so i decided to go back in CWM and wipe data, cache + dalvik cache and /system, after that i restored my backup and everything went good (app installs fine from playstore and they work) but i can't see my internal storage on the integrated file manager or even from my pc, it just shows my sd card, the folder where the internal storage was is /mnt/local and now when i go there even with adb it shows empy, so with adb i went to /data/media and i tried this command i found on the internet :

mount -o bind /mnt/local /data/media

but it didn't work i still don't see anything in my /mnt/local dir

(and now after using that i don't see anything in my /data/media either)

my device is running Android 4.0.3 ICS and it is rooted, i also tried to restoring my backup again but i still have the same issue :/, before installing the rom i also created an image zip from the recovery just for safety but now im stuck as the only thing i found on the internet was one video of one person that just factory reset his phone and it worked again for him but for me it didn't, here is the video i saw, which has the same problem as me:

Thanks for the help.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Valyrian1:
Hello,

I want do downgrade my phone back to android 11.

My bootloader is locked and my arb is 3.

I only find android 11 firmwares with arb = 0.

How can i safely downgrade my phone? I googled a lot but nothing really helped.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] NOSS8:
You need to unlock the bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Valyrian1:
Okay, if I unlock the bootloader, can I flash a firmware with a lower Android version and lower arb than 3?

And if I start the process to unlock, can I still use the phone without problems? I know that the data will be wiped after the unlock.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] NOSS8:
You will be able to use your phone without any problem during the process.

The data will actually be deleted.

You can install any version of rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Valyrian1:
My data get deleted if I start the unlock process or after the waiting time?

Thanks by the way, I was very confused about the arb number. But know i think its safe to flash a firmware with an lower arb number with an unlocked bootloader, right?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] NOSS8:
after the waiting time when you decide to unlock.

You can flash any version of rom,CN,GLOBAL,EEA,ASOP,EU ROMS etc..

No antirollback
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Valyrian1:
Thank you, I now start to unlock the bootloader. Hopefully the waiting timee isnt't that long.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] aphanic:
I'd like to chime in, where did you look for ROMs @Valyrian1?

I think I have all of the ones publicly released for Mi 11 Lite 4G (Courbet) both for EEA and Global and they all ship with the same ARB version, 3.

Even though things seem to be mostly the same for Courbet, hence the same ARB version, I'd say it's best to go the Fastboot route when downgrading to a previous Android version (the way you're doing it); things could have changed enough that flashing a "Recovery" version wouldn't be enough, even if it includes firmware.

Your personal data will be deleted just when the unlock happens, not before, so you have time to make the appropriate backups if things aren't backed up already. And yep, time to unlock will be at least 7 days, but it could be longer though, if you were to tinker with the internals during that time or try to unlock it through other means, you could find the Mi Unlock tool tells you to wait some 190h more (for example) after the initial 168h went by.

To be honest... I never fully understood what they take into account for the timing calculations, I've seen people who did nothing at all with their phones during that time and needed to wait more... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In any case, after the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is factory reset, I'd suggest you choose the "clean all" option in Mi Flash, or use the "flash_all" script, not the "flash_all_except_storage", because the default contents of the data partition differ depending on the version, just in case. It may be innocuous, nothing terribly bad would happen, maybe some force-closes, but still.

I will (hopefully) be going through an unlock and flash procedure on a Courbet during the weekend, it's pretty straight forward, but I could record the events if you wish; still undecided on whether it'll be MIUI 12 or 13.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Valyrian1:
It would be great if you record your steps. I looked up the firmware archive online and only found firmwares with android 11 and arb=0.

So far I guess that the arb number could be lower than my device or even ignored if the bootloader is unlocked. Hopefully I am right 😅

It would be also great, if you send the link where you downloaded these firmwares.

Andorid 12 is a mess in my opinion and I definitely want to downgrade to android 11. Android 12 is buggy as f***. Some features doesn't work anymore and my phone randomly freezes so I need to force shutdown the phone. Very annoying.

Feel free to reply to this thread or something if you flashed a "new" firmware. I will be very excited.

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] aphanic:
No problem!

For the download links, I think this thread has them all (or close to), links in there point to Xiaomi servers so the ROMs aren't modified: https://xdaforums.com/t/miui-updates-tracker-mi-11-lite-4g-courbet.4263141/

Get the Fastboot version of the release you want and that it's for the right variant 😉, that's the one to use with Mi Flash.

About the state of Android 12, I think it has more to do with Xiaomi's QA and their software engineering process, or the drivers for the different components maybe, than the OS itself. Only because there are other devices with Android 12 that seem to run pretty good, it could very well be that Android 12 is half-baked.

I'm always surprised when I get logs and see plenty of errors there: memory access this, virtual address that, SELinux denials (some security access thing), etc. Why release things in those states? Why not take the time to iron things out? I understand we're in the age of agile and all, but it doesn't mean to forgo testing.

The firmware I'm going to use is either the current one for MIUI 13, or the last of the previous MIUI 12, I want to rule out the possibility that the memory of the device is damaged. I'm told it reboots at random several times a day and even though as far as I know it always used original firmware, so I want to check if a full clean flash would fix it.

After that we'll see! I'll keep you posted.

So far, the only thing I've done to it was a factory reset, binding my Mi account in Developer Options and initiating the bootloader unlocking process, I'm in the waiting period until (at least) Saturday.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G] Valyrian1:
I downloaded some firmwares a few days ago from exactly this website. I tried multiple versions and always got a firmware with ARB 0. Maybe I did something wrong or I'm too stupid to look right 😆 I always checked the "flash-all.bat" file for the minimum ARB number.

I'm confused... all firmwares listed in your picture are with ARB 3. I think I downloaded the same files and always saw that the required ARB is 0.

Tomorrow, I should download a few firmwares again from your link and check the ARB number, maybe I looked at the wrong file or something.

Hopefully, your problem will be fixed with a "simple" reflash.
