[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Altarentys:
Hello everyone,

I want to flash HadesROMv3 on my GalaxyS8 Exynos which is currently on OneUI 1.0 / android 9 with april 2021 security patch (oddly I haven't get the november 2021 patch).

But I have never done such a thing before and even after going through a lot of threads here on XDA and on other websites I still have a few concerns about the process (English isn't my native language so it's not always easy to gather information here and there).

I will recap here what I understand I have to do :

- Activate OEM Unlock + USB Debugging, reboot in download mode.

- Flash TWRP with Odin.

- Boot in TWRP, format data.

- Install HadesROM in TWRP.

- Setup and boot.

For the few steps above I know how to do them but here are my concerns :

1) What is the thing with RMM/KG State Prenormal ? I read a lot about it but when I go into Download Mode I have nothing that looks like RMM/KG State saying "Checking", "Prenormal" or I don't know what (see picture below). Does that mean that I won't have any problem regarding this issue and I don't have to worry about it ?

View attachment 5609237

(edit : i forgot to activate OEM unlock before doing the above picture but when I do so it only change "FRP Lock" and "OEM Lock" to "off")

2) Do I need to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt ? It looks like yes according to what I read on XDA but I haven't seen any tutorial that says anything about that.

3) Do I need to flash RMM-State_Bypass (link) ? Since I'm not having "prenormal issue" and since RMM Bypass seems to be included in Hades Rom I would say that I don't need to flash it but I'm not sure.

4) If I indeed have to flash one or both of the above, when do I need to do so in the process ? And which one before the other ?

5) Do I need to do anything to be able to use banking apps (something about SafetyNet) or is it okay since I'm only flashing a ROM and not rooting my device ?

Thanks in advance !

And sorry if answers to these questions are easily findable, I read a lot and couldn't find 100% trustable answers...

I also posted this on reddit and I got a very complete answer.

Here it is below, in case anyone is interested.

2. no-verity-opt-encrypt is 2 in 1

- disable dm-verity

- disable forced encryption

"This device uses dm-verity!

This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab."

https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys8.html

that's what this zip does. it disables dm-verity in the fstab (if partition is rw). if you ignore this warning, OneUI won't boot anymore just because TWRP is installed. unrelated to rooting. does not concern custom ROMs.

furthermore TWRP does not support samsung encryption. therefore TWRP backup feature (main purpose of TWRP) only available if unencrypted. but encryption is enforced on boot. this zip disables the enforcement. it does not actually unencrypt anything, this is still your own task (requires formatting)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Altarentys:
Thanks for your precisions !

To be sure I have correctly understood : "does not concern custom ROMs" means that I don't need to flash it if I'm installing a custom rom right ?

edit : I want to do a backup before installing the rom so I'll need to flash it (correct?).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
you can't backup from TWRP because userdata partition is encrypted
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Altarentys:
Yes so in order to do a backup I need to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt before backing up ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
I don't understand. removing encryption requires formatting userdata partition (factory reset) - backup of empty partition is pointless
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Altarentys:
Oh okay I'm sorry I think I haven't really understood...

So just one simple question : do I need to install no-verity-opt-encrypt in order to flash HadesRom, yes or no ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alecxs:
No, HadesRom is prepatched against both
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Altarentys:
Okay, thanks again !

Hey all, I have a question.

I have a LG v20 vs995 with TWRP and Liniage 18.1 installed. I want to run it in my car so that it auto boots into android when power is received on the usb.

I have tried the “fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0” command but it doesn’t work. It still boots to only to the battery charging screen.

I found a tutorial about backing up the boot in TWRP and extracting it and editing the iric file.

https://xdaforums.com/t/lineage-os-auto-boot-on-charge-connected.3626364/post-78472845

But when I open the iric file it is all garbage and I can’t read it to edit it. So I’m stuck.

Any advice?

I happily own a HD since Thursday after a Diamond and a Pro: HD is far better!!

I tried the utility posted in the diamond forum to change the default links to time and calendar, it does not work, after the patch the TF loops without starting.

Did anyone try already?

This seems to be a very great tool but I've only experimented with remapping my calendar.

Disable TF3D

Run SSMaPa.exe from phone

Check Extended Init and press Init

Click on setting and highlight replace calendar

Check "patch enabled"

Under new program type in the path of pocketinformant

-In my case it was /Program Files/WebIS/PocketInformant/PocketInformant.exe

Delete arguments

Type in directory where exe file found

-In my case it was /Program Files/WebIS/PocketInformant/

Click save

Click deploy tab and press deploy patch

Next you will need to copu these 2 files from your TP windows directory using activesync and resco explorer or a similar program to a folder on your PC.

_mpmantoday.dll and _mpman.exe

Next download file editor from here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?p=2721128

Unzip folder to extract files

Once unzipped open Unsign folder and drag your two extracted files one by one over Unsigner.exe. Very quickly a msdos window will open up and it will seem as if nothing has happened but don't worry the files have been modified at this point.

Now just overwrite the 2 files with the same 2 files in your TP windows directory.

Go into your settings and reenable TF3D and you should hopefully have remapped the original calendar app with PocketInformant.

All donations, thanks, beer, coffee, women, kudos should go to Svenso and Schreda over at xda since this was done using their apps and help. I'm not worthy and only a messenger of my good fortune.

the same thing happened to me, still cant get it to work

Hi guys

In case of unsorted and old posts in gcam discussion thread, I've decided to start a new thread were we can compare gcam packages.

Here you can post your packages and may we discuss in old gcam discussion thread? So it's better sorted.....

I've made this for LMC but I think on LMC we don't get better in case of app, the same I've made now for shamim (I think here it's not the end of improvements):

So I've decided to start at 0

I've adjusted only all hardware settings for the lenses for noise model according to our lenses, some ui settings... but in patcher everything is 0 or off (except beauty, there are some small adjustments)

Then starting to check the libs one by one.....

The result is I've got now a lib with matching xml. Means out of the box it's looking good, not perfect, but now everybody can tune up with small changes like sharpness saturation....

If there's a new lib somewhere and someone say great, you can test it easy if you take the startxml-lmcR9, import new lib and compare with your "old" lib....

It's recommend to save your personal tweaks in an xml which contains the lib name (then you can be sure where your xml is working as expected)

I recommend to follow these steps for testing:

Remove LMC

Install LMC

Start LMC and go to config and reset.

Close LMC

Copy the attached lib to the lmc8.4 folder libs

Copy the attached xml to path lmc8.4

Start LMC

Double click nearly the shot button to choose startxml-lmcR9.xml

All needed files in zip attached

Thanks to @lubo777 @SachiSK @Dayuser @Killer cr0c @Kairu135 ... Don't be sad if not listed here, all suggestion and tests were helpful and in future I request all to give suggestions 🙏

How to import lib in shamim?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Deleted member 12056905:
Move lib file to gcam/configs8.4/libs

If folder doesn't exists, creat new one.

If you place lib files in right directory xml will load it auto .

@Laptapper dont set motion photo (Top shot) as default, i already testin xHDR lib in shamim and got same details like LMC

My main focus is on these Lens

1. Main(for best details)

2.macro

3.wide

4.Night (best details+ less noise in night , already got best pictures Like never before just Testing in every condition)

5.Nature( little saturated and more colours)

There is another lib which i think is perfect you can download it from likn below

Lib : https://t.me/gcamlibs/177

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] Norah1838:
Hello,

I'm a beginner in the field of flasing custom roms but I would really like to abandon using google on my phone and find your work here really awesome. So yeah, I hope my question doesn't sound stupid but I'm seriously stuck and hope I didn't completely break my phone.

I am using a Redmi Note 8 (2021) and wanted to flash lineageOS. So I unlocked the bootloader via my mi account, booted into fastboot mode (usb-debugging was of course enabled) and tried to flash twrp to recovery using the cmd-window via platform-tools.

This didn't work because when I typed:

./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

I got the reply:

Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.743s]

Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')

fastboot: error: Command failed

I therefore started googling and found a threat on xda where someone had solved the problem by replacing 'recovery' with 'boot':

./fastboot flash boot twrp.img

What I got was:

Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.818s]

Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.827s]

Finished. Total time: 2.681s

After that my phone was bricked. I cannot enter recovery mode anymore and even fastboot mode appears a bit different (I don't see the bunny anymore, all I see is the word 'fastboot' in orange letters on a black screen). When I enter fastboot mode, the device is detected by my computer - the only sign that still gives me an inch of hope. When I'm not in fastboot mode my phone keeps vibrating and then turning of, then suddenly it vibrates again and turns on, the logo 'redmi' appears and then it suddenly turns off again - and it just keeps repeating this procedure.

I downloaded the mi flash tool and tried to flash the Xiaomi ROM, but that didn't work either - after about five minutes of waiting I get an error. I tried different versions of MIUI but keep getting errors. When I try to flash the Xiaomi ROM via cmd-window, as suggested here ( https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-redmi-note-8-fastboot-commands/ ) I get this:

fastboot flash xbl xbl.elf

Sending 'xbl' (3449 KB) OKAY [ 0.105s]

Writing 'xbl' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')

fastboot: error: Command failed

Is there anything left for me to do or should I give up and save money for a new phone? I am also wondering why the command-window keeps talking about 'boot_a'. Is there a 'boot-b' also? And should I write something onto it? When I try to boot the twrp.img by typing:

fastboot boot twrp.img

I get:

Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.592s]

Booting FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))

fastboot: error: Command failed

I would be very, very grateful for help :)

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] FreakyJoost:
First off: don't go punching in commands you don't understand.

You literally flashed an incompatible image to your boot_a.

You could try and set the active partition to b using: fastboot --set-active=b.

Other option, if you have the firmware image for your boot partition, flash that image to boot_a.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] SetAxl:
you only need to flash the original boot.img from firmware lol it's so easy
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] portixx:
Good evening, guys.

I’m looking for an stable ROM for my Redmi 7A. Doesn’t matter if it’s outdated. The only important things are stability battery life. MIUI keeps crashing, rebooting, freezing and it’s kind of annoying. Battery life is fine and made a CPU stress test to see if this issues were caused because of degrading, but everything it’s okay.

Already tried formatting and reinstalling original MIUI, but the stability only lasts one month. I need it to be fully root-less too.

If no ROMs are available for this manner (doesn’t matter if it’s MIUI-based or AOSP), I’m open to hear other solutions to this problem.

Thank you in advance,

Have a great day.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] JohnB6090:
I dont know why, but sometimes my screen will stop responding to touch. I can still use the top and bottom of the screen, but the 90% in between the top and bottom lip of the screen wont respond until i restart the phone. This can happen once a week or three time a day, seemingly at random. Anyone know about this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] burnxtc:
I had this happen the other day and it really surprised me - exactly where you said as well. The top & bottom worked, but the middle was dead. I did have a little skuzz on the phone, so I spat on it & wiped it off and that brought it back to life. Not sure if that was truly the problem, or if it was just coincidence. Which screen protector are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] JohnB6090:
At the moment i dont have a screen protector on, ive had the problem with and without screen protectors. Its so weird, its like the screen just dies.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] burnxtc:
Hopefully it's just a background app/service and not a hardware issue. I'd try freezing the snot out of background apps - particularly anything that didn't come pre-packaged with the phone - and go from there. Should this work, enable a handful at a time until you find the culprit. Pretty much anything can lock up an app nowadays, particularly keyboards and the like.

Below is my "final" list of frozen apps on a11 and the phone performs exceptionally. No root & no security broken. This is a preset file for ADB AppControl - I hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] DS1000RR:
When you say freezing, do you mean adding to deep sleep or removing with adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] burnxtc:
I mean freezing/disabling via adb. I only remove once I'm completely comfortable with a practiced configuration.

Hello all!

Hope that's the right place to post that question

i want to downgrade my phone from android 12 to android 11 (Asus rog phone 5) because it's very unstable.

i read on the google site that the google auto-backup doesn't support downgrading, so i need a recommendation for software from someone who downgraded his/her phone to a lower version and managed to restore it later on.

Also is this process dangerous? I read the manuals on Asus official site which just talks about backup the phone, then downloading some file from the site restarting the phone and it should install it alone.

Thanks in advance for helping!
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] TNSMANI:
As a thumb rule, it is always risky to restore a backup of settings between versions, especially when downgrading.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] dokvader114:
Any tips or ideas you can share? I must downgrade because android 12 really did a number on my phone
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] TNSMANI:
If I were you, I would not backup anything and install everything manually and configure. Whatever you do, please do not back up Android 12's settings and restore them in Android 11.

Third party apps can be backed up using Titanium Backup or some similar backup tools. While restoring them, go by one app at a time so that you will know which app's backup caused issues and you can avoid restoring that app the next time.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Do a manual backup of all your personal stuff. Downgrade (A12 > A11 is really an 'upgrade' :)). Then do a clean A11 setup and transfer your files over. Old school but the most solid way...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] dokvader114:
i guess i will make a combination to both

backup some apps with titanium backup (other will be downloaded normally after downgrade)

backup files from files manager through local backup connected to pc

will not backup any setting (maybe will screenshot to restore them manually)

will disconnect google from the phone

download the android 12 to android 11 from the asus site

and hope that anything that was ****ed will be normal again.

will let you know later how it went.

thanks guys.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] dokvader114:
Any recommendation for backup app for applications that doesn't require root?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] TNSMANI:
If you mean that you are unrooted, then the options are limited. Certain backups require root. ADB backup & restore can also be used.

You can check up this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/need-recommendation-for-a-backup-restore-app-no-root.4401711/ and search in Google.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] dokvader114:
Please explain what is adb backup? Is that an app or a method?

Can't find a correct reference to said name

Also, does that back up app data? Is this works for downgrading?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] TNSMANI:
It is a method to backup and restore using adb commands. It is partially explained in the link that I provided. You can also google adb commands to learn further.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] crisaegrim:
Hi!

I just noticed that there is an official way to do this. Look for the 'Version Android 12 to Android 11' on the official asus page:

I found it while looking for an update. But also I look around here at xda to see if there is something relevant on the ROG 5.
