[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] geraldo.caverzan:
**Moderator Edit: Translation provided**

Good morning gentlemen. I have a problem with my galaxy s9. After rooting (I'm using the original original rom), bluethooth later. It connects and disconnects devices very easily, and when my device is not rooted, the bluethooth is very stable. Example: When the mobile is rooted and I connect to my watch (which is also from samsung) I just need to move away from the mobile and the connection is already lost, so I have to reset the watch to factory settings, so that the device recognize it again. With headphones it's the same thing, and in both cases, the connection is lost even when the devices are close. When the cell phone is not rooted, the bluetooth connection is constant and efficient. Could someone explain to me what happened, or give me a solution to the problem? Another thing that also happens is, when I install a custom rom, it doesn't recognize my watch, it says that the connection is not possible.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizza_alarm:
Hello,

I have an Xperia SP phone with LineageOS based on Android 9, which doesn't enter fastboot mode. adb can find the phone:

adb devices
List of devices attached
YT91071ZRZ device

but

adb reboot bootloader

doesn't enter fastboot mode, instead the phone restarts.

adb reboot recovery

works and brings me to the standard LineageOS recovery. What could I do to enter fastboot mode?

Hi all

I really appreciate all the info and knowledge on these forums but I do have a big concern which is I could be going down a dead end having spent many hours getting there.

Can I suggest that there is some very basic notes or a guide that will give almost yes / no answers, an example may be " Can any Android device have its OS updated to a later version?" or

" Can all required binary blobs be extracted from an Android device ?" and this will let someone know if they are looking at doing what cannot be done.

thanks Roy

Hello,

that's easy:

if (question=easy) {
answer = yes/no
} else {
wall of text
}

:)
[General Topics] sd_shadow:
Simple answer, not all android devices are equal.

Can the bootloader be unlocked, is it a Qualcomm device, is it a Samsung device?

Those and a dozen other specs affect the answers.
[General Topics] Spectric2:
Thanks for the feedback,

But a simple flow chart could really help, simple yes/no so if you say yes to the bootloader can be unlocked then onto chipsets, so does it have Qualcom and you say no, then does it have Mediatek and you say yes it could say this is possible but now get reading the forums and learn because it is feasable and not going to take you to a dead end.
[General Topics] IamTheBRAVE:
Yes/no answers would be too restrictive in some cases. A full answer would help you more.

Otherwise, you'll turn into a 5-yo:

"Yes"

"why?"

"Because 'this' is how it works."

"why?"

Head unit was working fine . I went to run a rca wire in the back of the head unit . and the power wire made a noise the head unit turned offand on no. Now when I power it on it stuck in start up mode says searching for android but does not boot up. There is power .
[FYT Android Head Units] illmatik:
Did you check the fuse on the unit?
[FYT Android Head Units] 18wrx:
No figured there would be no power if the fuse was bad
[FYT Android Head Units] illmatik:
Me too... but it's simple enough to check.
[FYT Android Head Units] j-5:
sounds like the boot got corrupted. can you hard reset the thing?

[Other SmartWatches] pcooney1171:
Hi,

not sure if this would be possible at all.

But I notice that I can connect my smart watch to PC via bluetooth, and was wondering if there was a way to do stuff like tapping the watch screen, and something would happen on the PC.

Eg. play music, open a browser, put the computer to sleep....etc. etc.

it would just be handy if there was a very common task, that you could simply tap your watch screen.

I got a cheap smart watch here, and maybe it's not possible with this watch, and I may need a more expensive watch.

But I am using windows 10, and I presume some sort of script would need to be written in windows to achieve this.

I know it;s a strange one, but if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be interested in looking into it further.
[XPERIA X1 General] tsourisg:
Does anybody knows why the percentage of remaining battery is falling by 10% and not by 1%. I installed Spb Mobile Shell and Battery status and i see only 100%,90%,80%,70% etc. and not 99% or 98% of remaining battery. Is there any registry hack to fix this?
[XPERIA X1 General] informatico:
not sure but could also be that SPB mobile shell is programmed like that...
[XPERIA X1 General] tsourisg:
It's also the battery status that shows ramaining battery the same way so it's not a software problem but hardware. @Other owners of X1: do you face the same problem?
[Xperia Z3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] Tux111:
Hello,

This post might sounds weird after all these years, but i'm here to redeem Z3 real superpowers.

Can someone share (or suggest) a roomservice.xml with the most 8-based updated sources (+ vendor suggestions? i guess this device needs vendor in that file too like others)?

This will save me ton of time in the making of RR 8 for this awesome device.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, how to install magisk?
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
i would probably just fastboot boot this twrp https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-barbet.4387057/ then adb sideload the magisk app or rename it to zip then sideload it.
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
Hello, so you mean to flash this ROM using TWRP as dirty flash? I thought use 1st option clean flash, I'm currently on linage os A12.
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
to flash magisk. after you have installed it, by their method.
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:

[Google Pixel 5a] jackeagle:
Hi,

The install log says your device bootloader is locked that is why it failed to install. Unlock it properly and try.
[Google Pixel 5a] TheSayaMan:
I got the same error and my bootloader is unlocked. Anyone get this ROM to install and boot?
[Google Pixel 5a] TheSayaMan:
Nevermind, I factory resetted, extracted the boot from payload.bin with payload dumper, flashed that boot to both slots and adb sideloaded the gapps rom in recovery and it works. Couldn't get it to work with method 1, kept saying that my device bootloader is locked which it's not.
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
my bootloader hasn't been locked in 6 months. i have been hoping around between pixel experience, calyxos and building my own pixel experience. trying to find one where the stupid google text messaging app actually works and my text messages do not disappear or the keyboard. after flashing to many times i have have determined that it is a google problem. the only company i know that doesn't update their base apks when they release an update to their rom.
[Google Pixel 5a] jackeagle:
Sorry and thanks for confirmation this is indeed weird that it does give device is locked error when using factory images. probably something is blocking it. for now i will take down factory image later today so just use method 2.

Will attach boot.img download link in OP :)

Sorry for all inconvenience caused due to this :(

Cheers!
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
i figure while i had some time i would test drive your rom. then ran into that error.

i must be having bad lucky. i did fastboot flash --slot all boot boot.img from the downloaded boot.img and it will not boot into the custom boot/recovery. it just keeps booting back into my pixel experience i had loaded. then i tried again after a fresh factory wipe and it goes to the stock recovery. after fastboot flash --slot all boot boot.img

edit: so i did manage to get this rom to install. i had to use twrp and do a factory wipe in twrp then adb sideload the rom. recovery included with the .zip does load and work.
[Google Pixel 5a] fackstrot:
I would like to translate the additional settings into Russian, turn off the "most important" widget turns off only the weather, the day and date remain. Overall good, fast firmware

There is a long unlock after the print, so it was on one of the updates to the stock firmware, then fixed

P. S But the battery holds decently, like)Does the author have a telegram channel? For feedback
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
Hello @jackeagle do you know when will be next build 15.7? I saw that many phones received it.

In any case currently this is best custom ROM for me, ACIP for example not booting, other ROMs have luck of customization
[Google Pixel 5a] Mchlbenner51:
How does a battery life compare to the stock rom?
[Google Pixel 5a] deviousconundrum:
Does this rom have Game Mode? Apparently they added this to Android 12. Is this included in BlissRoms?
[Google Pixel 5a] jackeagle:
Thank you for kind words. Sometimes Real life gets caught to point that priority shifts :( Will update by this weekend :) Sorry for inconvenience :)
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
Much better for me. But I advise you to add Franko kernel manager, and do undervolt for CPU and GPU
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
Yup it has it. I didn't use, but inside blissy there is option to enable it.
[Google Pixel 5a] newlyfe878@gmail.com:
Yeah I tried two or 3 times trying to get ACIP to work to not success. Does this boot fairly easily? I have just been using A13 beta for now, with root.
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
Hello, yes, this ROM working fine, and booting as expected. As I said previously, this is best custom ROM for our phone at this moment.
[Google Pixel 5a] Mchlbenner51:
How is the over heating on this rom?
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
I didn't have issue with it
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
Hello @jackeagle, do you know if it possible to build bliss without inbuild gapps? To use some other gapps for example?
[Google Pixel 5a] megavolts:
Does anyone know if BlissRoms come with SeedVault Backup option?
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
Hello @jackeagle, how are you? I saw that some devices start getting 15.8. Do you know when our device plan to get it?
[Google Pixel 5a] Dopamin3:
Does it matter what the current Android veresion is before flashing? Like if I'm on Android 13 October security patch, can I just unlock the bootloader and go through the normal install? Or should I rollback to an Android 12 build or something?
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
As I know currently we waiting for bliss 16, so it will be A13, so you can just wait and use Bliss 16
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
hi @jackeagle will this device be getting 16.2 ? pixel 5a development seems to be dead.
[Google Pixel 5a] rudy@:
He didn't respond me anywhere I just switched to AICP
[Google Pixel 5a] Dopamin3:
Good news everyone! (in voice of Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth)

Bliss v16.4 based on Android 13 is now available for our beloved barbet. It can be found at the official Bliss site here: https://downloads.blissroms.org/download/barbet/
[Google Pixel 5a] Mchlbenner51:
I'm on Android 12 and the notification for update 16.4 which is android 13.

My bootloader is for 12 does this update work with this bootloader or change bootloader.

I want to keep ability to go back 12 if I don't like it.
[Google Pixel 5a] Dopamin3:
I can't comment on that. Bootloader issues is only applicable on tensor (Pixel 6, 6a, 6 Pro). Meaning if one slot is on A12 and one is on A13, if the A13 slot is active and fails to boot and you wind up on the A12 partition your phone is bricked. Google has guidance on this here:

Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

Pixel 5a doesn't have this same limitation. So you might not be able to take the upgrade and *easily* revert back but you will have no issues fastboot flashing or sideloading the previous Android 12L release of this ROM. It might not be as simple as changing active slots, because once you boot to A13 and revert back to 12L you might break a lot of stuff.
[Google Pixel 5a] Mchlbenner51:
Thanks I will skip this update.
[Google Pixel 5a] Mchlbenner51:
Would you know when the update is stored on this device I would like to delete it.
[Google Pixel 5a] Dopamin3:
No clue. I just clean installed it (not a direct update) because I was on stock. It boots and works fine. Is there any reason you're hesitating? I can double check if a setting is still present or whatever...
[Google Pixel 5a] Mchlbenner51:
I on Android 12 and ota is 16.4 and this version is android 13 I don't know what issue could come with it.

I have android 12 bootloader and this is 13 if I would finish ota install I'm not sure if I can come back to android 12.
[Google Pixel 5a] prith:
The official rom does not support 5G in India and even after playing with efs partition. Does this rom support 5G?
[Google Pixel 5a] tienloc275:
good rom
[Google Pixel 5a] mikhailkurakhtanov:
Hey guys, in case @Dopamin3 ! What recovery did you use to install BlissRom 16.4? I currently installed stock build TQ1A.230205.001.D2, which the 16.4 based on. After that I tried to flash 16.4 rom via adb through stock recovery using "Apply update from ADB" and it finished with error "Signature verification failed. Installation aborted". Also I tried to flash boot.img from the first post in this thread, but pixel loads in stock recovery anyway and I get the mentioned error again during updating. I'm so confused right now, because I've spent a couple of hours struggling with this problem.

Also I tried to find vendor_boot.img of Lineage Recovery version from 20230205 but this verison doesn't exist on the lineage official download page...

Hope you give me the guide to install 16.4 without any problems. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
you can try the build i just made. i have not tested it yet.

Do I need to flash the latest stock rom TQ2A.230405.003.B2? What recovery do I need to use?
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
if you want to do a clean install. i would boot to the bootloader and do fastboot -w then i would fastboot boot the unofficial twrp and adb sideload it. see how that goes. i built it from the official website. no special additions. i just have a 72 core server that usually sits idle. except when i build a new version of Pixel Experience.
[Google Pixel 5a] mikhailkurakhtanov:
I've followed these steps:

1. Flashed the latest 13.0 stock rom via Android Flash Tool (bootloader unlocked)

2. Skipped connection setting, applied Screen Lock to None

3. Turned on Usb Debugging and rebooted to bootloader

5. Typed "fastboot -w"

6. Flashed twrp-3.6.0_11-0-barbet.img via "fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_11-0-barbet.img"

7. Finished twrp installation via Settings -> Flash current TWRP. An error displayed during installation (unable to mount 'metadata')

8. In TWRP activated Settings ->ADB Sideload -> Swipe to confirm

9. In console typed "adb sideload Bliss-v16.5-barbet-UNOFFICIAL-gapps-20230422.zip"

10. Selected "Reboot system"

As a result, I've got a bootloop. Any ideas? What did I do wrong?

upd. - I did all these steps but with the official latest Bliss v.16.4 and the device launched successfully despite of many "unable to mount" errors during adb sideload.
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
its based on the feb 5 build of 13 TQ1A.230205.02. i noticed they have not updated it to current. i also have the OTA it builds you can you payload to extract the files. i can put that one on my google drive if you want to try it out. twrp always errors when doing a sideload you just ignore them. can you access their recovery? maybe flashing the feb build of factory image and sideloading it from their recovery might solve it. you might have to flash it twice.

[Google Pixel 5a] mikhailkurakhtanov:
I tried to install boot.img file, but it loads like stock recovery, so I've been a little bit confused. twrp works fine as you said. Keep going to use this recovery in future updates or installations.

thanks for the ota archive, but I don't want to try something else right now, because it was my first attempt in custom roms to install something and now official build v16.4 works fine so I don't want to be risky guy you know :D

Sent letter to bliss developers yesterday about our device support, hope to get any news soon. Moreover, I'm so confused about why this thread wasn't being updating for a long time 0_o
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
pixel 5a is not a popular device because the 6 and 6 pro were released like a month or so later. so that is why this device is dead for custom roms and development.
[Google Pixel 5a] KyoshiDev:
Thanks for the build!!! Working great till now.

I hope you can also build in future recent versions. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 5a] mikhailkurakhtanov:
Sad but true :c

So, how can I dirty flash your ota update to current 16.4? TWRP was replaced on lineage recovery after 16.4 installation in TWRP, I redirected this problem to TWRP topic. Anyway, if you have some ideas about this bug, I'll be truly grateful for help 👍 Or maybe it's okay for recovery replacement during adb sideload procedure...
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
i usually just boot trwp and not flash it. i only need the adb sideload feature for first flash. then it loads whatever recovery of the rom you are trying to use. then i use their recovery to adb sideload going forward.

i posted the ota because you can use payload to extract all of the files if you want to just flash certain ones.
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
i can build them if they actually updated their repositories for barbet & redbull. seeings how it builds a TQ1A.230205.02. it says tells me they have not updated the kernel since then. seeings how the latest is TQ2A.230405.003.E1. at least that is what my pixel experience 13 plus is running on.
