[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] LeeYaoSan:
Hello everyone,

Anyone can point me to a guide on how to unlock bootloader on Black Shark 2 Pro with JoyUI 12.5 CN version?

I can no longer user Google Play Services because it's locked on this version and I'm hesitating if I can unlock the bootloader and user TWRP recovery to install Google Apps

Please don't just say "Search in the forums" because I've searched everywhere and the only guide I found only works with Android 9 Pie, whilst JoyUI 12.5 is in Android 11

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I had a rooted Oneplus Nord (OOS 11)

I updated the device with the newly released ColorOS 12 update

The root disappeared, so I downloaded the Payload file to root again thru magisk

However, the payload.bin has boot.img, vendor.img files but there is no "vendor_boot.img" file

When I flash the patched boot.img file, the device gets stuck in bootlooop.

I am assuming this is because vendor_boot.img is not patched

Has anyone successfully rooted Oneplus Nord after ColorOS12 update? Can someone help?
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] puru:
Any help on rooting ColorOS 12 updated on Oneplus Nord?
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] Hauemgod:
Hi, I am undergoing the same issue. But, sort of have an idea how to fix it. Unfortunately I am a bit worried to try it out. I know there is no vendor_boot image to patch. But isn't it the same thing to patch vendor.img? Could you try patching that and let me know of the results?
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] puru:
I tried patching vendor image. There was an error in magosk.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] Hauemgod:
I'm going to try flashing Twrp recovery on the phone and try installing magisk to root it. Will let you know how it goes
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] Hauemgod:
No luck, doesn't work for Android 12. Waiting on some update for rooting the Nord
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] Mr.Lucky:
use the latest magisk canary version, just patch the boot.img then

fastboot flash boot patch_magisk.img

fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_system --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system.img
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] puru:
This worked. I am still testing though.

Link to canary - https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/blob/canary/app-debug.apk
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] jonaynge2k22:
Can anyone confirm this does work without having to wipe the entire phone's data?

Thank you
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] puru:
Hi

This works and data is intact.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] robuser007:
How do I patch the boot img ?

Do I use those fastboot commands immediatly after flashing the new rom (reboot to fastboot). No need to install magisk to 2nd slot(after ota) ?
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] Mr.Lucky:
Install OOS12, install magisk and patch the boot.img, then boot into the bootloader and type the commands. After an ota, magisk must be installed in the inactive slot.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] robuser007:
Does this also work with Magisk v25 released today?
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] robuser007:
Where can I find those files? I guess I have to move those to the fastboot folder on my pc ?

fastboot flash boot patch_magisk.img

fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_system --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system.img
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] cioce:
No, I'm not able to have a bootable magisk patched boot image, also using magisk canary release. :(

After I flash the patched img the Nord goes in bootloop, the only way to have it working is to flash back original boot.img

About the vbmeta.img & vbmeta_system.img I have used the extracted from payload_output folder, I think is correct?!?
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] robuser007:
Did you manage to solve this ? I really want to upgrade but not loose root.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] cioce:
I rollback to stable Android 11, I have tested the new version for one day and is graphically bugged everywhere, seems they release a beta, not a stable version.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] cioce:
I rollback to stable Android 11 with Orange Fox recovery, Root, safetynet-fix ok, ecc ecc

I have tested the new version for one day and is graphically bugged everywhere, then no recovery, no root, Color OS seems not for me for the moment.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] robuser007:
What do you mean with graphically bugged everywhere ?

How can I stay on having root, does it work with latest canary?
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] shhahidxda:
I'm also not upgrading because of 'loose of root"

Still not able to find fix of safety net fix for A12..

all method i tried but safetynet is not fix.... CTS profile always FAILED...

nobody has any method which is working...
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] cioce:
Another good reason to remain on Android 11 where safetynet-fix-v2.2.1 is working fine to patch safetynet
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] jonaynge2k22:
Hi thanks for helping previously. I recently received a new ota update & have lost my root access. Do you have the link to the global rom of AC2003_11.F.12

Another question can you run different original boot.img files e.g can I install a EU boot.img to a global rom?

[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] kostikos:
I was rooted with 11, i downloaded 12 but before restart i updated magiskmanager in latest version and installed magisk in slot. Now i have 12 rooted but the device does not function well. I have huge battery drain with some apps and the phone gets hot very easy.

Edit. I had to flash 12 again in order to lose root because I couldn't even do a hard reset. Now since 2 days I'm in clean 12. It's a super light and fast beauty!!! No cons so far... and I have the best battery life I ever had....I don't regret it for the extra work of setting it up and the lost of root (until there is a stable way).

Hi, can You help us, and explain how did u You root it?

Thanks
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] GolDDranks:
I just rooted my Nord (avicii global version) yesterday. Here's how I did it:

I unlocked the bootloader by enabling unlocking from the developer tools and then performing an OEM command to unlock via fastboot: `fastboot oem unlock`. This wiped all of my data, but no can do.

I downloaded the stock ROM image from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/oneplus-nord-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4138085/

I extracted the boot image (boot.img) from the stock ROM using this tool: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go

I installed Magisk app and patched the boot image by using the "install" functionality of the app.

I flashed the patched boot image using fastboot: `fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-26100_LERPm.img`

After a reboot, Magisk app would show the "modules" etc. enabled, and I'm able to do `su` in the ADB shell → success!
[Android Head-Units] visera_de:
Hello, I have an annoying problem.

After connecting the android px5 radio with a canbus decoder, it resets the system clock in the car.

As You can see on my movie:

When I do not connect the canbus decoder - the clock does not reset.

- changed mcu

- I replaced the canbus decoder with a new one

- I change the canbus settings on the radio

But it didn't help. The radio is correctly connected, everything works. The canbus decoder itself also works. But it's annoying to reset the time settings
[Android Head-Units] SigmundDroid:
Sorry for laughing... but gee!, that is so, so unbelievable! What's next? ISS goes dark because I start using GPS on my phone? ;)

How about asking Mercedes themselves, they should be interested in such problems... really tarnishes their brand.
[Android Head-Units] visera_de:
It makes me very nervous, because before replacing the original radio with an android radio, I learned to look at a car clock. The whole problem is done by the canbus decoder and maybe someone of you worked on the problem and solved it
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
Is the PX5 set to use GPS time? If so it may be waiting to get a fix before it has its own time correct. Will it then communicate that correct time back to the car display if you wait a bit? Just a thought.

Also have you got the permanent power feed connected to the correct wire on the head unit so it keeps time when turned off?
[Android Head-Units] visera_de:
That's how I forgot to write about it - I set the px5 time manually and turned off the GPS synchronization.

In addition, in the Mercedes car service we have decoded the time acquisition from GPS

The manufacturer of the radio recommended disconnecting the black and green wire from the can decoder. It also didn't work.

When I connect the radio without a physical can decoder - then the time does not reset.

When there is a physical decoder can but on radio is can decoder is selected as: no, the time is still reset.

I got a second can decoder from the manufacturer, I would like to update the software and check it. But I have to read how to do it
[Android Head-Units] andin22:

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] gregyk:
I was really satisfied with tablet until I started to watch DV and HDR movies (netflix, hbomax, plex). Searching internet and I could not find nothing to get rid of "ultra" black dark scenes in videos.

Is there any app that would change gamma of video or something like that?

I'm so disappointed that I'm looking which tablet should I buy and sell this one ... wrote to Xiaomi via email and via system bug report and no solution, it seems they really don't care for us - users of this tablet ...

Anyone with some "solution" out there? :)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] AssumedDiz:
I am using kodi + netflix plugin to force SDR streams

It takes some effort to set up and you lose some of netflix functionality (like downloads)

I think there's also similar plugins for other services (disney+, HBOmax, etc) but I have not personally tried them

It's a shame because xiaomi keeps marketing this device as Dolby Vision capable but we have to look for workarounds to disable this "feature"

Hopefully they will fix it if we provide enough reports, and now that the device got released in India it's expected to get more attention because it's a big market for Xiaomi
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Shan8nu:
I'm also looking for this from weeks but no luck. We have to wait if Xiomi will fix this via update or we have to accept and start using as it is.

For the new tablet, you won't get any tablet in this price range which can beat mi tab 5 performance (except DV and HDR issue) if you want to wait then check realme tab having 870 processor and same specifications as mi pad 5.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Kajman:
Maybe new lenovo, but cost more
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] caubechandai:
there is no fix for this, the screen is ips
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Sharath007:
Go to Advanced tools -> Video toolbox and add apps to video toolbox. Now when you open any added app, you will see a pill at top left corner. Drag it and select different styles of scenes. One of those styles disables HDR.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Shan8nu:
Hi sir. In which app should I perform these steps?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] skater96:
That's not true at all. There's not a single option that disables HDR, they only apply filters to the apps you chose. HDR is on a system level and it cannot be disabled at this moment.

Toolbox might help if you chose the "Outside" style, but still crap with black/dark content.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Sharath007:
I agree. It doesn't solve the issue entirely but atleast I can see the picture a little better in bright environment.

Xiaomi should definitely address this.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Sharath007:
Settings -> Special Features -> Video toolbox -> Manage video apps
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Sharath007:
It works effectively in Chinese rom. I really like chinese rom better than global.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Kajman:
What ips has to do with HDR? There are ips tv with hdr.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] AssumedDiz:
Yeah my thought exactly

People are saying this is an ips panel, display does not have enough brightness, etc.

Companies have been doing HDR on cheap displays for years

The ultimate goal of HDR is having better details in dark scenes.

You can still achieve this even if the display is ips or have average brightness, but you get the side effect of somewhat duller colors

But what I see on the Mi Pad 5 is definitely some kind of a software bug or miscalibration, because it does the exact opposite of HDR, it destroys scene details bright or dark

You can throw all the brightness in the world on this and it's not going to fix it
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] caubechandai:
the problem is because the price, if you xiaomi change it with an amoled screen it will easily be 100$ more. your best bet is just sell your tab 5 now and buy a lenovo p11 pro with weaker processor but better screen.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Kajman:
and problems all the way, read their forums, it doesn't look good.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Rkm94:
It is a SW issue. DV and HDR is fine with just player and mpv-android. It just doesn't work on streaming platforms.

It's also weird that people point out it's only 500 nits. Many laptop displays, ipads, imacs etc have "only" 500 nits too and they do HDR and DV fine (by fine I mean no black crush issues). So xiaomi just needs to fix it asap.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] AssumedDiz:
I have created a post about it in the official miui forums

https://c.mi.com/thread-4072183-1-0.html

if you have this issue and interested in getting it fixed you can leave a reply there that you have the issue

hopefully then it gets enough attention from devs

also report it from your device Settings -> Feedback

I tried to reply, but xiaomi forum is as crappy as them their software.

it looks the same to me, still bugged
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] gregyk:
Same version but as I said it looks ok to me now... dark scenes pretty much as on Samsung Z Fold 3...

Edit: tried Plex and there is same ****ty dark picture with HDR. So it seems it has not been solved, sorry for missleading.

Hi. I've got same issue on my Xiaomi mi 11 Ultra. When it started I lost the widevine L1 certificate. Still all apps where showing L1 is available but Netflix and YouTube, HDR was not working. Disney and Amazon where darker a bit. Netflix not usable. Very dark.

I done factory reset after trying everything. It happened for few days. So when the issue came back. I've cleared the Netflix app cash and unistaled Netflix. Restarted the phone and..... the screen brightness came back!!!

All apps work great. After few day with no problem installed again Netflix and was great for maybe few hours. It must be something with this app

I have been super excited to know that the A71 5G was getting Android 12. My wife and I got the update last night.

Problem is, I'm heartbroken, because I thought the whole interface was going to look like the Pixel 6's.

I wanted the big, fat buttons in the quick settings shade, like the phone on the right at 13:20:

, not the same old circles from Android 8/Pie.

Am I missing something? Where is the setting to allow Android 12 look like Android 12?

It is possible? I don't see a whole lot of custom ROMs around here, and there's no mention of the A71 5G on LineageOS's website.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] clalos33:
Hi from Sicily. With the unlock bootloader and TWRP I tried to install different Custom roms from Android 8 to 12.1 always encountering different problems (Dac HiFi missing, camera freezing, etc.). Desperate, I then reinstalled with LGUP the last available Oreo Stock Rom (H93022j_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0403.kdz) and found problems with the Camera "is not responding". So supplicant I ask you: is it possible to solve the problem of the Camera in the Stock? And better: what's a Custom (from 8 to 12.1) that works really well, with all the main functions (HiFi Dac, Camera, WiFi) like the Stock? Or, even a Custom that works with some small problems but solvable. Thanks in advance and sorry for my English. Claudio
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
When installing custom ROMs (Pie and above) to go back to stock successfully, you often have to first go back to Nougat stock, then update back to last Oreo. We found Pie custom ROMs "break" some stock functions when going back to Oreo.
