[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jova33:
So, I don't know how this phone handles updates. I've had previous phones that if it was rooted, the OTA would fail to install, and others that the OTA would install and replace the boot.img, so root would be removed.

The first case, I would have to unroot, restore the stock boot.img, and then it could take the OTA update.

The other case I would have to block OTAs until I could get the boot.img for it, so that I could root the update.

The guide posted here https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-root-and-keeping-root-options.4387977/

part B explains how to update and maintain root. Seems like it's the first case. Restore stock boot.img.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] justauserthatusesaphone:
You could turn off automatic system updates so it doesn't reboot automatically and then you install the update and when it asks you to restart, go into magisk and click install and install to inactive slot then you go back to the system update page and click restart. I don't know whether Google's ota system makes it easier or not.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] swee08315:
Late reply but I can confirm that all updates fail on this device and you would have to unroot to get the update, and then root again. Very annoying that it's constantly notifying me that an update is available or that it tried to update last night and failed
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] justauserthatusesaphone:
I never had that issue but if you do, press uninstall and restore images (DON'T REBOOT), then after installing the updates (DON'T REBOOT) press install and install to inactive slot. Press the reboot button and you're done.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] ZeA_Quin:
It's fairly difficult to hard brick a device. Most of the time you'll just end up soft bricking your device which is easy to fix as long as you can access bootloader mode. If you want to fully restore your device to default, you can download your stock rom (fastboot version) and flash using miflash.

Also yes, the guide you linked is correct.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] armaldon:
Thanks, I managed to solve it.

The fastboot issue went away some time afterwards, and I could boot normally into the ROM, but... my bluetooth stopped working (which is really strange considering I only flashed the recovery partition). I tried flashing the bluetooth partition from the stock ROM's, but that didn't fix it.

So I tried flashing the stock ROM, following the previously linked guide (and that guide, not the guides that came bundled in the downloaded ROM, that one was for a different device, not a Xiaomi phone at all, weird!).

And now, I have bluetooth again. Thanks goodness for Migrate, I should be able to restore the rest of the device swiftly now. :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] jeeteshsingh:
Hello there - I own a P30 Pro (VOG-L29) which is on Build 12.0.0.134

If I go to Settings>Apps>Apps>and click on any app, I get the App info screen for that particular app.

I can then access all options for that App such as notifications, permissions. etc.

However when I click on "Power usage details", it doesn't open up anything.

View attachment 5677951

If I try to open the "Battery Optimisation" by searching it in my Phone settings, I can't see any apps listed.

View attachment 5677953 View attachment 5677955

I am trying to change "power setting" for a specific app so that it can always run the background. But I am not able to do it because of the above.

Can someone help me understand why can't I access the power usage details? Or is there another way for me to allow a specific app to always run in the background.

Look forward to your responses.

Best,

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] MurilloAssF:
I have a redmi note 9s (the topic is about this device). After testing a port of Android 13 or beta 2 I ran out of sensors and the audio was cut off, they told me to pass the stock via mi flash to solve the same, the stock doesn't boot on my phone anymore, it just stays on the Redmi logo, but I enter in fastboot, in recovery stock and after passing the custom recovery I enter the custom recovery too. With that I can pass some custom to use the cell phone, it comes back with the sensor bug and audio cut or no audio, I wipe several times, format data, I pass a zip called "clean.zip" the firmware and even then solve the sensors and audio. I'm afraid to keep changing roms now, but it's complicated to stay in just one rom, and when Android 13 comes out I'm stuck on 12, apart from that I can't go to stock anymore. Anyone had a similar problem? do you know any solution? Thank you very much for everyone's help in advance, Best Regards MurilloAssF

Hi, I had asumed that I would need a cable to connect my phone to my computer but I search the Magisk rooting guide and cannot find any mention to any cable:

Installation

The Magic Mask for Android

topjohnwu.github.io

The cable that came with the phone is USB-C to USB-C cable, and my computer does not have USB-C jack, so I guess I need to purchase a USB-C to USB-A cable.

In any case, just to double check: is rooting possible without the need of a cable?
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Well, the simple fact that you need to flash it with Odin implies you will need a cable. So yes, unfortunately you do need one.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] bogavante:
yeah, just bought one :)
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] the_arxyn:
Without a cable

Hmm

Yes, It is possible

(Assuming that you have already unlocked your bootloader if not first watch a guide for it)

By tapping 7 times on build number in about phone section and then enable usb debugging and then wireless debugging (only for Android 11 or higher android version) and then setup adb and fastboot tools in your pc connect adb with ip/tcp (or with another android device using bugjaegar or LADB) then flash a custom recovery on your device then insta magisk app from the official github repo just rename Magisk.app to Magisk.zip and flash it by your custom recovery

Now all done you can enjoy magisk root on your device

Hi there,

I compiled a recovery with a minor changes from below source.

GitHub - willzyx-hub/twrp_device_xiaomi_camellia_12.0

Contribute to willzyx-hub/twrp_device_xiaomi_camellia_12.0 development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

This build has WIP filesystem decryption cherry picks from twrp gerrit.

It's completely experimental and touch does not works, you can only use this with an OTG adapter and mouse.

I don't really know if decryption or flashing zip works. It just boots.

Decryption doesn't work even if no password is set. Flashing probably won't work either.

Also you should know that your system won't boot with this supplied boot image.

You have to backup your boot image beforehand or get stock boot image from fastboot ROMs.

This recovery is in boot image format and needed to flashed to boot partition.

And then you can boot to recovery with below fastboot commands.

I will be glad if you test and post the results.

Guys help I have this redmi note 9 which had MIUI 11 when I bought it, and I have updated it all the the way up to MIUI 12.5.4 and it started randomly rebooting on its own I thought maybe because it had an operator ROM in it (ORANGE) as the version number was 12.5.4.0 (RJOEUOR)

so I flashed a stock rom to it 12.5.4.0 (RJOEUXM) but the problem still persists.

Any help?
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
Message to https://www.vivo.com/en/support page through their email

(also commented on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/vivocareGlobal a quick question also)

I am in Canada interested in getting the Vivo X Fold, but finding out that Canadian carriers (main ones here in Canada: Rogers and Bell) from local XDA Forum on the Vivo X Fold (https://xdaforums.com/f/vivo-x-fold.12651/) do not allow the VoLTE 4G to be turned on here in Canada even though carriers support 4G and LTE bands on your phone.

VoLTE is the major Voice Over LTE 4G communications standard protocol, that allows us in Canada with local carriers to talk on the phone with others.

See forum feedback from XDA member that is in Canada with your Vivo X Fold phone:

https://xdaforums.com/t/vivo-x-fold...e-fence-as-to-which-one.4473827/post-87216075

for his feedback and efforts to get VoLTE to work, i.e. it is not working!

Is there a reason why the VoLTE 4G is greyed out and can't be turned on, on the Vivo X Fold her in Canada, thereby making voice phone calls not possible on your phone through this standard voice communications protocol?

There are a lot of interested people here for the Vivo X Fold in Canada that want a quality foldable phone and don't want to use the Samsung fold because it is too narrow on the front screen,

but looks like we are forced to get it as it is the only foldable that will work on Canadian carriers! Your phone is the only other possible choice BUT DOESN'T HAVE VOLTE 4G WORKING with any of the carriers here in Canada!

Have confirmed this with Rogers and Bell putting their current Sim Card in, and the option to turn on VoLTE is greyed out, i.e. can't be turned on by either cellular service.

I know T-Mobile in USA, the Vivo X Fold works on their network, but why not at least one carrier in Canada?

(There is talk that Vivo got their phones certified for use with T-Mobile in the USA, but no carriers were certified (paid registration fee so that it works with carrier) in Canada, leaving us Canadians that want to use any of your phones, not able to because the VoLTE can't be turned on in the phones mobile service settings.

Can you tell me why this is not working and/or reason why VoLTE is not able to be turned on?

Is there anything that can be done about this?
[Vivo X Fold] frcraig:
For what its worth, you can enable VoNR for stand alone frequencies. in developer settings or with a dialing code. The problem is that while these phones can connect on n78 Stand Alone networks, (3500mhz) the Canadian telecoms have just started using this frequency and it is only in a few major cities. They are also not using Voice Over 5G (VoNR) so even when the n78 band reaches your area, you would have to wait for the carrier to switch their technology for voice calls from VoLTE to VoNR. So far only T-Mobile (in Seattle and Salt Lake City) have turned on VoNR.
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
So 5G works but VoLTE 4G doesn't! Yeah, I see that band for Rogers, Bell, Telus, Virgin, and Koodo. Do you think that the VoNR may be up by Dec 2023, in large citiy like Toronto... maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel for the Vivo X Fold voice communication then?
[Vivo X Fold] frcraig:
I called Rogers and asked that exact question, and they said VoNR (Vo5G) "isn't on the horizon". In the US T-Moblile has switched it on in two test cities - Seattle and Salt Lake. Rogers contracts with Ericsson for their VoLTE and 5G technology, and Ericsson has rolled out VoNR for other clients in other countries - so it is coming, just not soon. I'll cross my fingers it is here before Canada shuts down 3G.
[Vivo X Fold] frcraig:
As an aside for those facing the issue of VoLTE not being enabled on this device with Canadian carriers, there is a work around to voice calls dropping to 3G (and therefore no voice calls once 3G is shut down). I subscribed for $10 per month to a Google Voice business account, which gives me a Halifax, Nova Scotia phone number and calls placed with the Google Voice dialing app go out over mobile data, so I can place voice calls via the 5G network. I can't tell the difference between voice quality on VOIP over 5G and regular 3G voice. These calls do consume mobile data (as opposed to unlimited voice minutes) but I ran a log to see how much data these calls were consuming, and for the past 30 days I've used Google Voice for 1,800 minutes (30 hours of talking!) used just over 1 GB of mobile data. On my 80 GB monthly plan I don't know how I could ever exceed that even if I let my wife talk on the phone : )
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
To clarify though, for my understanding, the Vivo X Fold and other Vivo's for that matter for the most part depending on bands and the carriers here, will generally work on the 4G and LTE, and 5G if available, but not on the VoLTE 4G (which is voice over the 4G and LTE as a communication protocol for regular standard voice phone calls... but because Vivio didn't certify/pay any of the Canadian carriers, the sim cards will not allow you to turn it on and/or allow you to use it even though it is just a software switch as the phone could work as it does with other carriers such as T-Mobile in the States. - Hopefully I am correct so far....

So, the next question based on what you mentioned about the Vo5G.... would that not also required Vivo to have certified/pay the carriers upfront to use that communication protocol through the sim card when it becomes available (voice over 5G), as some of the carriers offering the 5G Bands with the Vivo X Fold are already running off the 5G for Data.

To have voice over 5G (Vo5G), isn't it similar to VoLTE 4G's lack of certification/payment to the carrier from Vivo, i.e. if they didn't pay for VoLTE 4G, then they surely didn't pay for Vo5G also, right?

Using subscription VOIP over 5G as a monthly cost is a great idea and patches this problem of the voice calling when 3G is dropped with and added cost to your phone service. As you mentioned all of those calls equate to a small amount of your data which is good... so an option that allows you to pay a little extra to have a call service better than Skype is a way-out, to still have phone service if you have a Vivo and no 3G for here in Canada.

Side note, I use a VOIP service when I got rid of my Bell landline for the house, which looks like it can be also linked to a "softphone" that I am already paying for, so there is that...

I never bothered to set-up on my phone, as I use the cellular service for my voice calls.

LOL, you have me thinking here, maybe the Vivo X Fold may be still be a possibility... if I could live with this... on the fence with both, Ugh... Samsung Fold 4 revile and pre-orders start Wed... I know you already suggested the Samsung as your choice now that you know about this VoLTE... just that the Vivo's front screen improved width, quality material/feel is a big weight with the tradeoff being no s-pen, better software-multi-tasking/apps... oh and working VoLTE for this side of the earth...

if I went with Samsung, I probably get their new ear buds and watch also as I don't have either. I think I am going to the store again and look at the Samsung Fold 3 in my hands again... every time I have, it is just so narrow and I am so use to my quality phone with the 7" screen, I have used since 2016.
[Vivo X Fold] frcraig:
VoLTE options only appear by virtue of the carrier check and SIM, however Vivo has chosen to include VoNR options in the firmware that are not carrier check and SIM dependent. There is a switch in Developer Settings (which can also be activated with a dialing code) that enables VoNR.
[Vivo X Fold] frcraig:
Just to complicate your purchase decision, several tech industry leaks in the past two days have suggested Vivo will release a new foldable (being dubbed "Vivo X Fold S" by Gizbchina). One Indian source said it may launch in the next few weeks and include a global version with FunTouch firmware.
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
frcraig, You keep surprising me with your in-depth knowledge and nuance's of technical detail.... so Vo5G/VoNR is not going to be a problem then, when "eventually" we get there on this phone. Lol, I think you have more insight and information than calling a Tech Support at a carrier, lol... thanks for the explanation and info.
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
Oh man, I confirmed with a search, one on Aug 8 & 9, you're right on the ball with this. Bigfire member on another thread here, was asking about this very thing.

You know, I was testing out a Fold 3 again today, thinking to my demise that this is most likely going to be the phone I will be reluctantly getting because my phone is really long in the tooth, Samsung has a monopoly here in Canada on the folds, and the fact that Vivo X Fold has the VoLTE issue which I think is a big negative.

Now that you have pointed out this Vivo X Fold S, and reading about the leaked improvements, hmm... two weeks.... I don't know, was intending to pre-order the Fold 4 tomorrow, and now have more questions.

If it is going to have the Funtouch Global version, does this mean that it would likely have VoLTE licensing... you had mentioned earlier that all Vivo phones will not work here because no VoLTE licensing here, with Canadian carriers?

Side note, the Xiami Mix Fold 2 just got teased and is thinner (5.4 vs 6.28 Vivo X fold vs 6.4 Sam Fold 3) and with the flat fold will be a lot thinner than the 14-16 mm of the Sam Fold 3.
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
on the one hand I am disappointed with the development and I am hoping it's a small spec bump. But if it provides an ease transition between x fold and x fold s (e.g. fun touch installation) it could be very compelling.

I think that project is just for the people who are rooted and BLU to try.
[Vivo X Fold] frcraig:
The VoLTE issue on Canadian carriers applies equally to the Origin OS Ocean and Funtouch versions of Vivo Phones. It also applies to Xiaomi phones (they release their new Mix Fold 2 tomorrow) but you can disable carrier checks and enable VoLTE on Xiaomi phones with a dialer code.
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
This is from Big WhiteDwarf in the comments section to me

"I live in Canada, too. In terms of volte, I unlocked my Xiaomi phone and flashed the xiaomi EU ROM, updated the Google carrier services component, then volte just works. I'm not sure if the Chinese ROM works the same way, but it can be done via software tweaks most likely. But to be honest, I don't really notice much difference with volte on or off and I don't really make calls too much these days. Btw, mix fold 2 won't get the EU ROM."

.... Not sure but you can only do this if you can get access to the bootloader which I understand in recent security update, that is no longer available now.
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
Finally received a response from vivo Customer Care about the VoLTE on the Vivo X Fold:

"Thank you so much for your email and we are sorry for the delayed reply. According to your email, we are sorry for the inconvenience. We appreciate your interest in purchasing our products. We are very sorry to inform you that our service is not available in Canada. Also like to inform you that, all our handsets have not yet been tested to see if data, Volte, and network service is compatible in another country. However, please note that we are still expanding our overseas market, if there is no official store in your country temporarily, we do not suggest you purchase vivo Phones from other channels since it’s inconvenient for you to repair the phone if is damaged. Also, we can not provide any service for other problems. We are not available in Canada right now but don't worry we are take your dimand as a suggestion and forward it to our concern team. Hope they will work on it and you will understand this fact."

So, for Canadians, no VoLTE is a big issue, and they are straight out saying not to get their phone.
[Vivo X Fold] shoho80:
a japanese figured out how to unlock volte in japan. but u have to unlock the bootloader, root and patch an img file with magisk. then again, it's a risk for doing that. and it might not necessarily work in canada.

[Vivo X Fold] rocky272727:
Thanks for sharing this. I wouldn't mind giving it a try, will keep 6oi guys posted.
[Vivo X Fold] Q-Prof:
Thanks for sharing as instructions look promising! Having VoLTE access here in Canada would do two things, allow us to import and use this quality form factor phone in Canada with Canadian carriers as a main driver and therefor give Samsung Z Fold 4 some over-due competition which is badly needed.

There is a rumor that there is a Vivo X Fold S edition coming soon and may have a global rom.... I similar heard that the Oppo Find N Foldable will also will be coming out with a global version, and then there is the sleek thin Mix 2 with its great form factor, although software is ? and not refined as Samsung's.

If anyone in Canada (frcraig, rocky272727....) is willing to try this unlock procedure, please share here so we know if this is a possible fix for the VoLTE. I am sure the appreciation would go a long way, as I was on board with the Vivo X Fold with all of its concerns, but VoLTE is the big one that has stopped me from ordering it and have preordered the Z Fold 4 instead.

Side note: Isn't the bootloader now locked with a recent June security patch, i.e. making it impossible to unlock the bootloader? I understand when it is purchased, Giztop and Wonda both update and add Google on the phone to save customers the pain of trying to start the phone in Chinese which in turn I understand the Bootloader is permanently locked. You could when ordering, tell them not to update and hopefully it is still with the original rom that is unlockable, but not sure.
