is there a more detailed guide or a video for installing ?

It's in the main post
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] nikapaka00:
i changed my post, i need more detailed one xd cause it will be my first time to rom it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Amr Pilot:
This is a guide from a member here with an edit for you:

1) Boot to recovery.

2) Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System, Vendor and Data.

3) Install LATEST firmware. (It's not always necessary, but it doesn't matter if you flash it)

4) Reboot into RECOVERY! (Do not restart the SYSTEM! The system is deleted at this time!).

5) After rebooting to the recovery - flash ROM (ideally with GAPPS).

5) Flash Gapps (if not included in ROM).

6) Format Data. (this is different from step #2)

7) flash latest Magisk (download magisk and change the app extension to .zip (it will be something like this 'magisk.zip') then flash it).

8) Wipe cache and dalvik and restart system.

ofc you will have to backup your files before installing the rom because the internal storage will be wiped.

You can copy the rom, firmware and magisk manger to an OTG and use it or you can just connect your phone when you're in the recovery and copy the files to your internal storage.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Omyzerber:
HI! I'm new at flashing roms and recoveries or changing the systems of my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. Btw, my phone is a 3 years old, so i dunno that was the cons. or my usage or my way of flashing.

Anyway, I unlock my bootloader and it was successful. I flash also the orangefox recovery and it was also successful. However, when I flashed the PixelOS, my phone started to restart and bootloop. I tried to wiped the system again and do the flashing of the rom. It was successful. The latest firmware was also installed.

But here's what I encountered:

Bootlooping

It keeps restarting whenerver I play a sound or videos.

Didn't restart when xiaomi logo appears.

Battery drain so fast

My phone need to connect on charger all the time.

How can I fix it? DId it have a solution?

It was my first time, so, I'm sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] losonn:
I know Android is likely limited to 1080p by widevine L1, but is there any way to force / trick Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, HBOMax and other streaming services currently serving low quality 1080p streams to Android phone / tablet users to serve proper 4k?

I get that most Android devices are FHD+ but they would still benefit hugely from 4k steams that are much higher bitrate, have much wider gamut color (bt.709 vs bt.2020) and more coherent HDR mapping.

I have an S22+ and a Tab S8 Ultra on 1gbps fiber. Watching 4k YouTube is awesome, but recent content like Obi-Wan on Disney+ or Love, Death & Robots on Netflix are an unbearably grainy low bitrate mess - an experience that's remarkably poor for a premium device. Worse than even 1080p streamed via edge/safari or a pc/mac desktop Disney+ app.

Is there any way to make the (non YouTube) streaming experience on Android less terrible?

Hi there :) I have a phone with a forgotten pin code so I was trying to use some software but every software needs the phone to have the USB debugging enabled... so I was wondering how can I enable it from fastboot mode or are there other ways to do that?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
USB debugging is not enabled through Fastboot but from Settings, Additional Settings, Developer options.

Google for gow-to 'become developer' and to unleash Developer options

However, if you cannot unlock your phone, you could not open Setting, My phone, etc, to 'become developer'

Btw, I really don't understand how a user can change a pin and forgot it

Pin protect from thieves when they stole a phone

Nevertheless, legitimate user (knowing his email and password he registered at Google) can still login from PC to the Google account and use the methods how to change pin/unlock the phone

In GSFinder, just press and hold your stylus on the folder you want a shortcut of, when the dialogue pops up choose 'Copy', then press and hold your stylus in an empty folder (like 'temp'), and when the dialogue pops up choose 'Create Shortcut'. I used this to create shortcuts to 'Root' and 'Games' in my start menu.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaurxx:
I wanted to update from android 6 to 12 but no luck because i couldn't get the adb to work.

And understood that it was because of my rom version 23.5.

So I desided to downgrade to 23.0.A .

No problem with using flashtool, it installed the rom, I think. But now it is stuck in bootloop, and it says the process android.process acore and contacts has stopped.

And no I haven't made a backup, because I didn't think that it would work before I got the old rom.

I've tryed installing the room twice and I can still get in contact with the phone through flashtool.

Emma says the phone is locked?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Count of Undolpho:
New 10 XEU N970F bricked when trying to update. Gets passed the logo to 4 swirling dots and just stays there - tried soft reset, plugging it into PC on Smart Switch, wipe cache and hard reset. same every time.

Samsung are like "you might have bought it New and still security sealed but it's still out of warranty it'll cost you for us to flash it ..."

Read up and got hold of Odin and the latest firmware - same swirly dots.

Tried Factory reset again and yay it started except it's "configured by SAMSUNG Electronics UK enrolled in Knox. So tries to load retail mode and is locked down - no factory reset option (even in Boot Loader) loads of Google apps don't work, Google Play Store not available hell I can't even change the wallpaper or set Biometrics to log on. It is on 12 though...

Suggestions?

Try wiping the NAND and repartition maybe and then try Odin again? Give up and see if I can get a refund?

I'm an Android dabbler, I've rooted and added custom ROMS to older non Samsung devices in the past but only following guides or using scripted tools.

Any help gratefully appreciated

Set Odin to repartition and clear NAND and do all but the userdata and it rebooted to a fresh install enrolled to Knox ..... Arse!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Count of Undolpho:
So it turns out using Knox to enrol devices to your organisation is pretty solid - It's linked to the IMEI as far as I can gather and has a hardware flag (I'm assuming from it's behaviour - so I'm stuffed. Tried the support at Samsung again and with some effort and a couple of links to Knox documentation finally got her to understand what I was saying.

[Sony Xperia 1 IV] JP10101:
So what is it you used to sort the heating problems being rooted exactly? Was thinking of doing the same thing myself. Thanks for posting this btw!
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
Just wait for the "AI" scheduler/governor to learn to throttle the device. It takes a few days but the heat is acceptable afterwards. It will never be as cool as a phone without heat issues (like the XZ3 or 1 II) but it doesn't impair daily app usage and the only overheating incident I've encountered the last few days was sitting outside in 30 degree heat leaving the phone in the direct sun, and I was impressed how quickly it recovered from that.

For me personally, the awesome camera and 120hz display ultimately won out over returning the phone. In an ideal world, Sony would have used the Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 which doesn't have thermal issues, and you could hope for a mid-generation refresh of the 1 IV with the 8+, but that probably won't happen. Like the reviews say, the phone does get warm and it throttles to keep the heat manageable, but once Adaptive Battery has had a few days to learn your usage pattern, it's probably not going to be so bad as to cause problems.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] JP10101:
When you rooted, did it stop you from using the camera software that came with the phone by any chance?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
No, the camera works 100% the same as before.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] JP10101:
That is great to know, thank you!

Is Viper4Android working? I think I installed AML, JamesDSP, and V4A to get it working on the 1 III.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] aussiebum:
How'd you get the unlock code from Sony?

I went to their developer portal (https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/) but the Device dropdown to get the unlock code doesn't have the Xperia 1 IV in the list?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in Viper4Android myself and its installation looks a bit too involved to try out simply to be able to say if it works or not. I also don't have a custom recovery yet so I'm a bit wary about boot loops still.

Just select the Xperia 1 III from the list. The code will still work.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] hary232:
Thank you for letting us know!

I was wondering if you are going to try underclock the device to see how it reacts with the thermals?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
If and when there's enough developer interest in this device to develop a custom kernel or magisk overlay to tweak the thermals, I might try that. For now I'm satisfied with thermals and battery life, it's not nearly as bad as it was with the Z5 back then. I run battery care at 80% max charge most days and reach about 40-20% charge at bedtime, and on days where I'm out of the house for a long time I disable battery care for a full 100% charge to extend battery life for heavy usage which works well. I'm mostly just happy to have a camera that's a joy to use again after using the XZ3 which was extremely mediocre to the point where taking photos was just not enjoyable.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] treff89:
Even with the stock kernel, once rooted, you can easily use Franco Kernel Manager to disable some cores which will immensely improve any heating issues you might have.

I want to flash HongKong firmware but my phone is now using China firmware which version is higher than HongKong one, once I flash it my phone goes black. So I wonder if I unlock bootloader, can I flash lower firmware?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
You should be able to downgrade to any official firmware with FlashTool without unlocking your bootloader. If your phone goes black it's more likely you're flashing incorrect firmware. You realise there are two distinct hardware variants of the 1 IV, maybe you picked the wrong one? There's the XQ-CT54 and the XQ-CT72. Mine is the XQ-CT54.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] wednesyao:
It can't downgrade once you upgrate to any newer version... My phone goes black either unlocked and locked BL. I can only recover it using Xperia Companion
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] aussiebum:
Thanks, I got the code generated, but now I'm stuck with getting the Fastboot Drivers installed.

The Sony "OEM Drivers" ADB drivers work fine when the phone's powered on, but when I switch over to Fastboot mode (vol up, plug in usb, blue led comes on), it's not recognised.

Sony's "fastboot driver" inf from 2014 does recognise the device, but I can't use that ancient inf with the latest Google USB drivers (Windows refuses to install the drivers due to hash not matching).

Would you be able to point or supply the fastboot driver you used to connect up your Xperia 1 IV?

EDIT: rebooting to fastboot via ADB brings up the "android fastbootd", but this doesn't seem like the actual Sony fastboot environment, so still can't oem unlock :/

Nevermind, finally figured it out. Followed the section about force-installing the Google Android Bootloader driver as per https://www.xda-developers.com/download-android-usb-drivers/ and that worked.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Toasty1Too:
As this is the *only* current gen SD 8 phone with both a 3.5mm jack *and* an SD card slot, it may end up being my next upgrade. As my third hard requirement is at least the possibility of rooting it(I always do this before a phone can become my daily driver), this does a lot to seal the deal, so to speak, and is extremely helpful besides.

With my current phone(a Motorola g100) experiencing digitizer errors, even still under warranty, I may just upgrade and sell it after the warranty repair.

How did you get MinMinGuard to work? It seems to do nothing on my Xperia 1 IV. Are you using the auto mode?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Dean F:
Bad experience with Z5? I have had my Z5 and Z5 Compact for 7 years now. Works flawlessly, never overheated. Maybe you have a faulty model?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
It's interesting, when I look in the MinMinGuard interface it doesn't seem to be working (it's showing it blocked 0 ads), but I don't get any ads in apps so I just assumed it was working anyway. I have to admit I'm also using AdAway which blocks ads using the hosts file (of course making sure to install Magisk Systemless hosts first), which could be making MinMinGuard redundant.
