Hello,

I have changed the thread from Development to General tag because this thread does not provide kernel source link as request.

If you are sharing other's work, please give the original developer credit by mentioning their IDs, even they are not on XDA.

Thank you.

How use it? Flash or replace stock fastboot firmware? Pls update details. Thanks

That looks cool

No rom
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] jerryhou85:
Hi OP,

I think you need to write a guide or something to help others to flash this.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] saurabhinabyss:
Pls dont flash another bloatware+spyware, there are too many better Open Source ROMs. If you want to flash this, then use MIUI, your stock rom instead.

Hello Aniki and welcome to XDA

Nice intro!
[Introductions] gav83collins:
Hello Aniki and welcome to XDA ifyou truly want secure and private, your notgoingto beable to use the majojority of apps or sites, google and apple are always going to collect your data, and even with gappsless roms youstill need to give gps location permissions to use certain apps,my advice is to find an acceptable compromise
[Introductions] Aniki020:
Hi Gav83Collins, thank you for info plus advice. I know I need to realize that when change device for go private it should be a major different from how I use my iPhone now.

I do not need to send/ share political or illegal messages/ files, but the idea that alway’s being watched or in control from a big tech company makes me feel uncomfortable. In my country the public points a finger to China, Russia or other “far” away country and say the human have no freedom of speak etc. But now we see it is not a China or Russian problem, it is here in the EU, but also in the USA, just for example here in the EU they maybe have a better way to let you think that you are free and all is democratic. But in the end it’s all the same.

Do you have experience about or with DeGoogle devices? Because if I good understand a Samsung S22 Ultra with custom ROM is the same idea like a Pixel 6 Pro DeGoogleD? But when I search for Samsung DeGoogleD, the only thing I find is that this is not possible… or is that because it is not official support by a custom ROM?

The apps I use mostly is Waze (Google), and YouTube (Google), then mail, online surfing but no games. So if I step to another device I just use it for basic communication and look for a similar app like Waze, YouTube for Odessy or another, not search for it yet.

Patching AP.tar with magisk doesn't seem to work...
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] lebigmac:
What do you mean it's not work? What error message do you get? Got a screenshot? Thanks (y)
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] newt23:
When I flash patched AP.tar, I get "error verifying vbmeta: HASH MISMATCH" error. I followed the official instructions for installing magisk.

I also tried flashing patched boot.img, but I get another error saying that only official firmware is allowed to be installed.

I never installed magisk this way, so I don't know if this procedure worked on previous Android versions (or if I'm even doing it right considering it's Samsung...).
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] OldNoobOne:
umh..I made the mistake of connecting my M21 2021 Edition to internet and it updated something in the blink of an eye and then when I checked Developer Options the OEM Unlock button disappeared. I cant flash TWRP-ODIN-patch-file anymore , it shows Secure Download error in Download Mode also Custom Binary Blocked error. Without TWRP I cant flash anything. I'm dead!
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] xyncronix:
I am also getting same error, I downloaded my firmware from samfw.com (SM-M215F / Android 12 / Binary 3), then I extracted it to my PC. Then copied AP file from PC to my phone, Patched it using Magisk v25.2 (From Github). Copied patched file from phone to PC. Flashed it using Odin v3.14.4 (BL, AP, CP, CSC). Getting error that VBMETA ERROR HASH_MISMATCH (3).

Has anyone found solution for it?

[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ajaythepower1606:
Custom recovery is good but to flash we can use Odin by samsung. Official samsung software.
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredin_:
Flashing the whole AP feels pretty big. All you actually need is the boot image. Extracting it from the stock rom can be pretty annoying though. If patching ap isn't working for you there's two ways to go. Either flash the magisk apk from recovery (this still works for m21) or patch just the boot image and flash it using Odin or recovery.

You can get the boot image of your respective stock rom from here inside the AP folder.

1. Patch the boot image using the magisk app and rename the patched boot image to "boot.img"

2. Add boot.img it to a tar archive

3. Flash the tar file to AP in Odin

Something you need to note is that magisk no longer patches some stuff from v25.0, so there's a small chance it might bootloop. So ideally, patch using magisk 24.x and then you can update later on using the magisk app.

[General Questions and Answers] muhammadbahaa2001:
Hi this might be the strangest request or question you will ever see but, can I unpack Huawei firmware UPDATE.app, repack it and flash it successfully (I know unpacking then repacking and flashing could cuse problems)? I want to unpack it becuase I want to change permission of system partitons, by doing that I will be able to root my Honor 6x from PC via USB becuase of cours system files are read-only, means system files can't be modfied / Android be rooted.

Why I need to do that? because there is a adb command requires root that will let me able to access and show bootloader unlock code.

Here is the command:

su -c "grep -m1 -aoE 'WVLOCK.{14}[0-9]{16}' /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 |grep -aoE '[0-9]{16}'"
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Modifying the app won't allow you to root your device, that isnt how it works. Anything you try to flash using the update app won't work unless the bootloader is unlocked before it is applied.
[General Questions and Answers] muhammadbahaa2001:
Can I at least unpack recovery.img and patch recovery_ramdisk.img using magisk and repack it again in recovery.img/UPDATE.APP then flash it?
[General Questions and Answers] Rstment ^m^:
You can't flash it with locked BL...

Try getting it unlocked tho - There are guys that do unlocks for 20/30$ just search for it
[General Questions and Answers] muhammadbahaa2001:
Can

Can't restore it from SD card through download mode until BL is unlocked?
[General Questions and Answers] Rstment ^m^:
Nope it's modified hence the signature is changed... Probably there is no verified boot since it's older device but either way you'd have to pass signature check when flashing with built in updater...

Idk much about how in built updater works tbh , but if it's older android maybe there are some exploits you could use to gain root access that don't involve flashing
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You cannot flash modified or customized software, you can only flash unmodified stock software, a locked bootloader will not allow flashing or booting anything except the software created by the manufacturer for the device.

You keep asking the same question in different ways. It doesn't matter how you change your question, the answer is still no. You will not be able to flash anything that is modified until you unlock the bootloader.

There are some PC programs and android apps that can root some devices without having to unlock the bootloader or flash modified files.

Do a Google search for:

"Universal android rooting programs for PC"

And

"Universal rooting apps for android"

If your device has android 7 or newer, these programs and apps probably won't work on your device.

[General Questions and Answers] moorevineyard:
Can anyone explain the various options for "stopping" an app? As far as I can tell, you can:

1. Swipe it off the app switcher screen

2. Long press and hit "Pause app"

3. Long press, tap info, and turn off all notifications

4. Go to settings, apps, and "force stop"

What's the technical difference between all of these? It seems unbelievable that there isn't a simple way to fully stop all processes associated with an app until you manually restart it.

I'm mainly interested in squeezing the last bit of use out of old phones.
[General Questions and Answers] moorevineyard:
Well, I thought this would get more of a reaction. Would it be more enticing if I asked for a more technical discussion on how these functions work?

I know I can Google this stuff, but pretty much everything I come across is focused on the basics of turning off notifications. The most technical content in the articles I've found says things like, apps don't use system resources when they're just sitting in the background and appear in the app switcher. But honestly, that seems ridiculous. If an app CAN send a notification, regardless of whether Android displays it, then it will obviously use resources periodically.

So I'm looking for what actually happens when you turn off notifications, pause an app, swipe it off the switcher, or force close. After that I'll be looking for a tool that will make it easy to manage what I want running.

Thanks so much for this! Looking forward to trying it when I can set aside some time. Anyone have experience with A11 on the 10 Pro?

[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bgroins:

[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
That's awesome. I'm both thrilled and infuriated 🤬 I've long thought that the 10Pro was an excellent piece of hardware crippled by deficient software. Add you said: eff ZTE! Thanks again for streamlining and verifying the whole process 👏
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bgroins:
My sentiments exactly. Quality, solid piece of hardware crippled by a lack of support. I've had to shelve it all this time and buy a Samsung because of the GPS bug. Really frustrating. Live and learn I guess. Long-term support matters.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
Awesome write up. I still need to get around to attempting this soon. Do you have any info on getting root/Magisk running on Android 11 on this device?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
It seems like my GPS issue may have been hardware-related after all. I completed the upgrade to Android 11 but subsequently had multiple GPS signal losses during a drive of less than half an hour. The compass also fails to maintain a proper heading even after calibration. Since the upgrade, I've also apparently lost VoLTE and VoWiFi. Bizarrely, there's now a new idle battery drain situation and the phone repeatedly stops and restarts charging when using a QC charger. I'll probably go back to Android 10 (or maybe even 9?) and see how the phone behaves. Either way, thanks again for your efforts!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
So my experience with running Android 11 on the U variant is starting to be a hit or miss. Flashed everything correctly and did the correct modem procedure and I have a semi-working T-Mobile connection. However the modem does not always stay connected even though it shows I have signal. Couple times throughout the day I have to enable airplane mode and disable it to have random text messages start coming through and for my mobile data to actually stay connected. Friends have told me they tried calling me and their calls go straight to voice mail. When I go to check my voicemail I get a pop-up message that says I'm not connected to mobile data even though all settings are enabled correctly. Even made a new APN profile using settings straight from T-Mobiles website and still the same issues occur.

I'm going to reflash the modem when I get a chance and see if that fixes anything. I'm just posting this to see if anybody else using the U variant is having the same problems or similar. Otherwise I'm loving the rest of the features and UI on this device. This connectivity problem is a huge pain though.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
Did you happen to notice whether VoLTE was working? It wasn't for me, which is a deal breaker since my T-Mobile MVNO requires it to maintain service. Cheers!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
Thanks @bgroins for the excellent hack. I followed the procedure yesterday and so far everything is working fine on T-mobile. Used GPS for more than 4 hrs today, didn't see any drop. The only difference I see in GPS is it takes long to fix after clear and update AGPS data through GPS Test. It used to fix to position faster while on A9 after clear AGPS. As this is one time activity, not something to worry as after it fixes, it doesn't drop connection, shows the right location while moving. If you don't clear, it shows the location immediately within 3-4 sec
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
Is VoLTE working for you on T-Mobile? Was fine for me on Android 10 so I'm not sure what I could've done wrong in this update to kill it. Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
VoLTE does not even seem to be an option in Android 11 for some reason unless I skipped a specific setting for it. My assumption was Android 11 had it baked into the framework by default. But yeah Android 11 on the U variant is unfortunately a deal breaker for me as well as my service is very spotty and loses frequent connection even though it shows I have signal bars and am connected to the network under SIM settings. I have to do an occasional airplane mode switch to on and off and I notice I get text messages flooding in.

I had hopes for this as the modem was so easily flashable and we are able to get a semi functional connection but just no VoLTE. And since I don't think there's a way to get root on this version yet it's hard to look at the system files to get further in depth. Noticed this version doesn't have WiFi Calling either which isn't a priority but something I find strange doesn't come built into Android 11 and I thought even for other countries it would still be a selectable option.

Android 11 otherwise runs beautiful on this device aside from the needed services for some MNVOs.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
You are correct, I don't see that option in the configuration either. Neither Wifi calling as mentioned in another post.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
I am also seeing "cell network not available" issue even when network shows full bars. I am also using T-mobile 4G LTE mini tower and while sitting next to it I see that issue. After toggling airplane mode it started working. Should we try modem.bin from A10 image instead of A9. or they would probably be same?

If I just flash modem.bin again, @bgroins, do I need to factory reset the phone?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
I have personally tried modems from A9 and A10 and can safely say it makes no difference in compatibility. I believe the A9 modem did not even search for a network due to incompatibility, and the A10 modem from different versions just did the same thing as it does now. ZTE basically only designed this A11 to work on overseas networks. I don't see us USA users having any luck with it. I'm just going to have to go back to Lineage unfortunately. As far as I know, you don't need to do a factory reset as the modem gets flashed to a different part of the phone and factory resetting doesn't reset anything relating to the modem.

Try either different USB ports, or another USB cable. Also you may have to flash an A10 image first and then the A9. Have you tried using the other EDL Tool app by Unjustified Dev? Might have better luck. I'm going to be flashing my phone back to A9 later this week so I'll report back with any steps if I run into issues.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
Appreciate the response. I tried two different computers but I'll give your other suggestions a shot. Looking forward to a report on your A9 flash experience. Thanks!
