Being a Newbie to winmob (formerly UIQ3) I am finding that Gens is OK on mosts screens but not on Home Page and the other TouchFlo screens. Am I doing something wrong - or probably stupid?
[Touch HD General] mooro1973:
I was having lots of problems with all my apps. They seemed to only rotate sometimes, and I couldn't have the device even slightly flat or the rotation wouldn't occur.

I just was playing around with gyrator 2, went into edit event for (disabled) opera, orientation and checked all but the last two options and hit apply.

Opera is still showing as disabled, but what a difference!

Rotates really quickly, and when almost flat as well!

(Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I could not find a forum for the blackview bv 4900 pro)

I am trying to install TWRP (unofficial build at https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-5-2-blackview-bv4900-pro/ ) on my Blackview BV 4900 Pro, seems to be able to transfer it to my phone, but cannot start it. The files vbmeta.img and recovery.img come from the previous link, respectively https://unofficialtwrp.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/vbmeta.zip and https://www.mediafire.com/file/hq4sq1xlnkafduv/352_BV4900_pro_lopestom.rar/file .

What I have done:

- Re-start in fastboot mode,

- Plug phone to computer

- In terminal:

- Unplug phone

- Turn off phone by pressing & maintaining power + volume +,

- Keep pressing power + volume +,

- See the "Select boot mode" page (that gives me the options to select Recovery mode / Fastboot mode / Normal boot),

- Select "Recovery mode",

- See Blackview's logo + the message "Orange state", then the phone becomes irresponsive. It is still turned on, but nothing on display. I can run

adb reboot recovery

and it will reboot, but again in orange state, then it reboots to the "normal" system.

What am I missing? Is this version of twrp unsuitable for my phone?

Apparently there used to be a twrp at https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=789936&st=2060#entry110507536 but it is not available anymore :-(

[Blackview S8 Questions & Answers] tbtbtata:
I was able to flash a different firmware on the phone ( BV4900Pro_S1_210909 ), but the result is still the same.

Once rebooted (in recovery), the screen is still black (after a green line briefly flash at the top of the screen). The phone is still on :I can do

adb shell

The above method can be used to switch the system from ME2210 to ME2211 or ME2213. But there are 2 points to pay attention to. Do not swipe the IN and EU versions directly from Color OS based on Android 13, the logo will be stuck on boot; switch from Color OS 12.1 CN ME2210 to NA ME2215 version OOS 12.1, my phone has the same situation twice. the fingerprint can't work, and finally recovered by after-sale fingerprint calibration.

Do not switch Slots on V-AB-based models. Once you switch to another Slot, the phone will be stuck on the boot screen. That is to say, using FastbootEnhance can only flash os in the current Slot. There is also a NA ME2215 version than EU ME2213. There are two more logical partitions, but the partitions of NA ME2215 and CN ME2210 are the same.

While the fingerprint didn't work, there was no problem with other functions of the phone, including other sensors. If you do not use fingerprints, it will not affect any of your use.

This is the summary and some experience I have encountered when switching roms in different regions

[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
The X1a passed the FCC tests and you can find various pdf files about it here.

If you take a look on the "internal photos" pdf file you will see that the Qualcomm chip in it is not the MSM7200A that we are used to by all major mobile phone sites, but the the exact same one as the Diamond, Touch Pro and Touch HD, MSM7201A.

Does anyone have any info if the X1i has the MSM7200A or the MSM7201A?

Any photos maybe? I know the two versions shouldn't differ much, but still it surprised me when I saw it.

Also can anyone make out from these photos any memory chips? Maybe we could resolve the "how-much-memory" mystery that X1 has.

Hi,

I just got a new "used" phone and was in the process of installing updates when ...

But I had an issue with an update. It seems my phone lost my wifi signal and switched over to a neighbour's wireless ssid that had no password but a strong signal. Seems there is an option to use public wifi's on my phone which I didn't realise. I didn't have a sim card in the phone yet. I tried switching back to my wifi manually when the connection to the neighbour's wifi was lost - but I couldn't reattach to any wireless ssid - mine or the passwordless wifi my phone had hopped over to. At that point I wasn't able to do anything since it would not reconnect to ANY wireless signals - even when I tried to manually connect.

So I rebooted the phone and tried starting over. I was able to get to the setup until I was asked for my wifi password and it would not connect. The wireless "slider" to turn it off and on would go back to off when I put it on. Putting a sim card in the phone didn't work either. Something was definitely borked. Restarting the phone did not help even after doing a factory reset the symptoms remained. I didn't want to unlock the phone originally but I thought I might be able to switch slots to see if that would help.

The device was using slot B so I switch it to slot a with fastboot without any issues (I had enabled developer mode, usb debugging and oem unlock) and restarted the phone.

Now it says that the software is corrupt and if I start it anyway it says at the google screen (white background). I can't seem to get back to fastboot mode with the power button and volume down pressed.

It just boots back to the white google screen and stays there and is warm to the touch.

Is there a way to get out of this pickle?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] hammered58:
Iam new to this phone so I don't know all the answers but the first thing I would try is going to the website android flash tool and see if that can help in any way

Thanks hammered58,

I was looking at that but wanted to ask first to see if anyone else has used that. I'll check this forum and elsewhere to read up first.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] hammered58:
I used it last night myself, its almost fool proof as it detects your make, model and shows the updates or upgrades that are available, but yes checking and double checking helps
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] secondhand2:
Hi hammered58

Just to follow up. I was able to reinstall android using the flash tool but for some reason "wifi" functionality is still not working. A sim card will connect though. When I try to enable the wifi button/slider to turn wifi on and go back to that page I will see that it is off. There is no icon in network settings to look for wifi networks.

It appears that everything else is working. So I can only conclude that there is a hardware or firmware issue that can not be fixed using the android flash tool. It is a fairly simple tool to use.

Does anyone know if this is known issue with the 4a?

Thanks

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] secondhand2:
HI @amphi66,

In the "About Phone" section there is "Wifi Mac Address" and "Device Wi-Fi Mac address". These would appear to be the source of my issues when trying to connect to "wifi" Note that I can connect to my mobile carrier if I put the sim card in the device. However, "wifi" isn't working at all. I can not even scan for wireless networks because the options to do that are not there.

There are 2 wifi related bits in Settings -> About Phone.

1. "Device Wifi Mac Address" has "unavailable" as a value .

2. "Wi-Fi Mac Address" has "To view choose saved network" but there are no "saved networks" when I chose that option.

From what I have understood, the mac address of the phone should be in the persist partition. I thought that using the Android Flash tool would reinstall this "persist" partition but I am not sure.

I installed SP2A.220505.002 with the web based android flash tool but the issue with wifi isn't resolved.

There are full ota images and factory images at:

https://developers.google.com/android/images

I'm assuming they both contain the same "content" but just install it a different way. Whether flashall is better than "sideloading" or the Android flash tool I don't know either.

I'd need to read more to find out what exactly the steps would be to "re-activate'" the "mac-address" and "wifi" network functionality.

The radio seems like a dangerous thing to start tampering with. From what I have read after @hammered58 mentioned persist, the mac address "stuff" seems to live in there. Is there any conclusive doc about where that lives?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] hammered58:
At this point I would try what amphi66 suggested but from what I understand the persist has its own seperat partition and idk if flashing the factory image replaces the persist partition, it would make sense that it would, I used a tool off play store called "partition backup and restore" to make a backup of my persist.img when I got it, but you have to be rooted to use the program, if you get to a certain point where nothing else works I could send you my persist copy to try,
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] secondhand2:
Hi again,

Thanks @hammered58 and @amphi66 for your help. :)

I wanted to know if the issue was a hardware or software one so I thought I would try looking around with adb and fastboot. I'm not an expert in using these tools but I did wonder about some of the output I got when using them.

When I ran adb shell and looked at the partitions using "df -h" I noticed a bunch of question marks for the persist (partition?). What is strange is that init also has these question marks. It appears that there is an issue

with the persist partition although I was hoping someone could confirm that.

I also ran fastboot getvar to see if there was anything suspicious looking there.

I read that the bootloader and any zip in the flash-all.sh script should be the same so I checked that with getvar =

(bootloader) version-bootloader:s5-0.4-8048734.

flash-all.sh has this:

Below is from the flash-all.sh

------------------------------------------------

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-sunfish-s5-0.4-8048734.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

sleep 5

fastboot flash radio radio-sunfish-g7150-00088-220106-b-8048734.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

sleep 5

fastboot -w update image-sunfish-sp2a.220505.002.zip

My non-expert guess is that the cause for my wifi issues are with the persist partition - but maybe there is more than one issue or ...

Thanks

Just to give you and idea these are all the files in my pixel4a stock persist.img once I extracted them
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] secondhand2:
Just to give you an update. When I used the Android Flash tool in Chrome it updated everything to the latest version. In doing that the version of adb and fastboot from the ubuntu repositories no longer worked (I don't usually run unbuntu but in this case it was easier). So I downloaded the platform-tools_r33.0.2-linux.zip and ran that instead.

The flash-all.sh listed a bunch of "archive does not contain *.img" or *.sig but there was no ERROR or WARNING associated with those lines so not sure if that was normal. Evrything to the right hand side showed "OKAY"

But it didn't help. I'm in the same boat as before. I might rund adb again to compare with what you sent me (Thanks for your help btw).

I'm not sure what else to try since most of what I did wasn't too risky. But I am starting to feel this is a lemon. When I got it a couple of days ago it wasn't set up properly so I have a feeling there were issues with it then.

I am going to chalk it up to hardware failure. Not sure if there is a definitive way to test that though.

Thanks for your help! :)

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ti64CLi++:
Hi everyone,

I have a Poco X3 Pro which currently runs Xiaomi.eu 12.5.7 and I was wondering if there was any point in updating to Xiaomi.eu 13.

First I've read that there is no recovery that actually supports Android 12, therefore I was wondering if it would be troublesome for some things, and if so, for what. And which recovery should I install, I'm currently running Orangefox which I really like.

Moreover, it seems that it runs slower than Xiaomi.eu 12.5.

Finally I always have trouble migrating to a new rom because of the factory reset needed, and I don't know any viable solution to backup my data properly. I've always lost my data, and all I was managing to save was my apps (without their data's), my contacts and sms (which sometimes didn't work properly) and my photos (ish) .

I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution to backup everything needed such as apps+datas, sms+contacts+mms, pictures and videos.

I'd like to mention that I run Xiaomi.eu mainly for the mobile data tracking features, which I couldn't find in any other non-MIUI rom, and the ui and the new control center since MIUI 12.

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
If you have a Poco x3 pro(VAYU) and use 12.5.7 Xiaomi Eu rom(custom rom not EEA stock) you can update to 13 without losing the data because now you can flash the rom with fastboot command and you can choose between 2 scripts:

"windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat"or

"windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat"

For the first install,it is better to format data but update work.

Backup your data with Miphone assistant,Micloud,Google.

https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-13-stable-release.64441/

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-STABLE-RELEASES/MIUIv13/

Method/ Pc mandatory:

Download rom

open and extract rom with 7.zip or other

Phone in fastboot mode

Execute command according your Pc.(Windows,linux,Mac).

Oh thanks a lot for the fast and detailed answer.

I just have one last question then, what about the recovery?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
Until there is one that will work the roms will flash in fastboot mode.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ti64CLi++:
But the one I have installed will stay installed right? And there will be no other issue than the failing decryption?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
no,your rom is in android 11 not 12.

Remove security from the lock screen before flashing the rom (additional precaution) and save your data just in case.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ti64CLi++:
Okay, thanks a lot for all your answers, I'll try that later tonight
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ti64CLi++:
Well, it worked all right.

The only downside I have found for now is a bug with mobile datas. Sometimes it turns off by itself and it is impossible to turn it back on without rebooting
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
What script did you use?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ti64CLi++:
I used the update one for Windows, since I have Windows 11
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
reset the phone.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ti64CLi++:
Is it the only solution?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
This is the solution to be sure that it does not come from the update.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ti64CLi++:

Before formatting you can try to reset Wifi, mobile networks and bluetooth.

Thanks I may try that, but for now I haven't had the bug again.

Also, do you know of any way to change the boot animation? I tried replacing the bootanimation.zip on my own but I can't it is read only, and even with an app such as boot animation on play store (I am rooted) it doesn't work.

I tried flashing some animation as Magisk module that I found on the Internet but nothing works
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
Just download a theme with a boot animation, rename the theme to zip and modify the boot animation or replace it with your own.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ti64CLi++:
And where do I find a theme with boot animation? Can't I download the zip of my current theme? (which is the default one)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
Either you look in the Miui store and you retrieve it on the phone or a google search.

Or here to modify if necessary:
