Nice!! About the vndklite image, I have two hypotheses: our phone doesn't support unsparsed images, or our phone doesn't support images with unshared blocks. These are the two differences between the normal and the vndklite GSIs (besides the added libraries in the vndklite, but they won't cause bootloops by themselves).

I did the same lol

It's annoying not to have wired earphones working properly. I moved to stock some weeks ago because of the Bluetooth issue when I couldn't use any earphones in GSIs. Now I could return to PE 13 and use Bluetooth earphones, but I'll probably stay in stock for a bit more time
[Android General] tellko53:
I did some testing, its only a12 and a13 that are busted. Los18 for example, has working wired headphones.

I was unable to try PE13, file too big. Resizing or deleting partition didnt help.

LeOS with microG was "almost" perfect for my needs, but it has minor bugs and is not as smooth as Los from AndyYan.

Also, when I tried to update Magisk in automatic mod (direct install), something breaks and i get into bootloop. Same thing happens when you try to uninstall it from the Magisk app.

Do we have some working custom recovery? Lineage or twrp? I tried sideloading from stock recovery or SDcard, but that wasnt working. I got either of these errors:
[Android General] santosst:
I tried the "slim" version of PE 13. It was okay for me to flash. I don't remember if I tried the main version.

However, if you like LeOS, PE will be too heavy for you lol

It's impossible to directly install/update Magisk because the boot image must be signed with the same key present in vbmeta, and I believe it's impossible to do this now on Magisk.

We need to patch a boot.img file in the Magisk app, then sign and correct the image size using some Python scripts.

Sadly not, as far as I know
[Android General] wepecko:
hello,

after multiple attempts i still cannot get the bootloader unlocked.

could you please advise?

unlock OEM in android - checked

using custom fastboot in linux - check

able to follow the guide to point of creating signature.bin

when trying to flash with ./fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin, response is:

downloading OK

unlocking...

FAILED: remote: unlock bootloader fail.

to generate the signature file, im using file present in the archive - rsa4096_vbmeta.pem

might be i need to get some other instead?
[Android General] wori:
Are you sure the step before that works? there's already a signature.bin in the archive, but it will not be for your phone. Can you make sure a new one is generated in the signature generation step?
[Android General] wepecko:
thanks,

yes the file was generated, confirmed in command line and file date updated

Hello

I have a problem with every change I make in the system

Not saved after reboot

I tried using the old patched bot and the new one

And nothing helps

I even tried to edit the soper externally and download things

And yet the system remains the same

I just can't figure out where it gets the files from every reboot
[Android General] santosst:
I'm not sure, but I think the system partition is read-only because of shared blocks. Try to make a magisk module to automate the mod every reboot.
[Android General] Android developer2:
magisk modul is also deleted after reboot
[Android General] wepecko:
Hello, i confirm the process for getting the Lineage20 OS

So far so good.

no Im struggling with flashing Gapps using sideload recovery, as described few posts earlier

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Is there any other way how to put playstore and basic Google apps into this Lineage img?
[Android General] wepecko:
For now, issue mitigated by flashing

system-squeak-arm64-ab-gapps.img.xz instead of Lineage20

AOSP12.1 https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases

Gapps works fine, no other issue discovered so far.

GPay/credit card not possible, but authenticators work fine
[Android General] santosst:
This is weird. None of the modules I'm currently using are deleted after reboot.
[Android General] santosst:
GPay was working fine with PE. Now I rolled back to stock, and am using Shamiko to hide magisk.
[Android General] wepecko:
if PE means pixel experience, i tried as well but it got always looped during setup on setting FaceID. weird bug
[Android General] santosst:
Yeah, Pixel Experience... Weird issue, I don't remember to have this bug on older versions. Very sad

AOSP12.1 https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases

didnt fix my problem.

I have issue with my device from the moment i got it (might be hw problem as well), which appears on stock FW as well.

after reset and deployment the phone works fine, it just getting continuously slower and slower. after some time - 2 or 3 weeks, the system apps starts crashing randomly and whole phone become unusable, working only for short time after reboots.

seems like a problem with free space on some partitions but im not an expert to find out for good.

Im going to test flashing LOS19 to see if it might help, otherwise i need to get rid of it....

anyone with similar problems?

[Android General] PaulMoore24:
get and unpack necessary files as necessary: boot.img, vbmeta-sign.img, a ROM that you want, p.ex. AndyYan's Lineage GSI

fastboot resize-logical-partition product_a 38000

fastboot flash system [unpacked ROM file]

I also factory reset it afterwards

Hi guys

Sorry for the probably stupid question, but "get and unpack necessary boot and vbmeta-sign"... what's the purpose of that as we don't appear to be using them in the next steps.

Can someone please explain, step by step, how it's done?

I understand how to unlock the bootloader, but I can find no mention of how to

a) flash boot and vbmeta-sign - fastboot flash, an app, something else?

b) How to flash a stock rom in the event something goes pear shaped

For example, I'd like to flash PixelExperience... so I've grabbed the latest arm64_bgn.img version.... can I use the boot/vbmeta-sign files as linked?

Thanks

Edit:

Here's what I'm thinking, correct me if I'm wrong...

1) Download boot.img and vbmeta-sign.img from post #1

2) Unlock bootloader using steps in post #1

3) fastboot flash boot boot.img

4) fastboot resize-logical-partition product_a 38000

5) fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta-sign.img

6) fastboot flash system <pixelexperience/other GSI>.img

7) Wipe & reboot

Would appreciate any help - it arrives tomorrow! :)
[Android General] santosst:
Boot.img is only necessary if you want to flash magisk. The steps are almost correct, but I believe you'll need to pass some flags when flashing vbmeta. Check this post.

About flashing the stock ROM, it's better to follow the Cubot instructions on their site. Check it here.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] RmatriX1218:
Hi,

I was quite fond of custom roms earlier.

However, now a days I am using my phone a lot for business purpose and I can't invest a lot time in experimenting with ROMs, bug solving etc. Also, many banking and my organization apps are installed on my phone which I don't want to put on risk.

This is the reason I have stopped using custom roms from last few years.

But now my question is, is there any ROM available for our device which can be similar to stock rom, i.e. you flash once and forget for long term. You will get necessary security updates without any experimental bugs and passes banking apps etc.

If anybody using custom roms the way I want, please share your experience.

I have a Qtek 8310 with factory WM5. I have done a hard reset option, and I cannot hear any sound when making a call. I do not know if its a problem with speaker, or some setting in OS, since I bought it from a seller who didnt know its condition.

I can hear sound when playing mp3, I can hear sound when using speakerphone.

Does anyone know what could be the problem? Will upgrade to WM6 solve this problem?

Thanks,

Goran
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Try to update the radio. Was there any sound prior to hard reset?
[HTC Tornado] Goran_:
As I said, I dont know, I bought it from the reseller who didnt know its previous condition.

I managed to disassemble it, and I have cleared speaker connector, and also tried to clear as much as possible jack, and I tried it after I assembled it, and it works. Now I have another problem - I cannot assemble top part of it to it correctly. :(

Its left side (when phone is laying on the front page) keeps popping out for 1 mm. No plastic clips are broken. When I remove all chassis screws, it sits correctly, but I cannot leave the phone that loose.

What can I do about this problem? Any catch?
[HTC Tornado] Goran_:
I finally managed to assemble it properly. Now I have a big smile on my face. :D

I guess I will start playing with it now. Any good place for downloading some good applications for it? I thought MS office comes with WM5, but I dont have them installed. Maybe Wm6 has them? Or we should install it manually?

[Touch GSM General] humphster:
I recently bought a used T-Mobile MDA Touch. Naturally it has T-Mobile finger prints all over it. If I active an application that requires the Internet, the phone connects to edge or gprs. It notifies me but doesn't need my permission. This can happen with my attention else where and since I am on a prepaid it can cost a lot of money that returns no value.

Any ideas or suggestions? Perhaps there's a switch or a or hack that would require my input before proceeding to these costly alternative?

Thanks in advance.

Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool can disable connections without rebooting system - if you need GPRS, you just start ACT, go to connections settings and tap connection you want to enable. When you don't need it, you disable it again. Works perfect for me :)

Thank you! Works for me, too. :-))

New, another invention: after blocking connection this way if you want to use it, you don't have to re-enable it. Just install Opal Comm Manager and set your connection as default in Settings -> |Connections| -> Connections.

Sorry I cant see how to do this. I have installed Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 and disabled GPRS, and I have Opal Comm Manager installed, but latter will not let me switch GPRS back on.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] dahawthorne:
No doubt this has been answered somewhere but the XDA search function simply does not work.

My 8T is rooted (Magisk 25.2) and has a custom recovery (Orangefox R12.1). I'm on OOS C.21 (or C20, depending on which screen I look at).

When the notification for the new C33 appears, I intend to unroot, which is simple, before updating.

However, does the OOS Updater depend in any way on the OOS recovery? To put it another way, will having a custom recovery prevent the OOS Updater working?

Thanks...
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
If the OTA is an incremental update, then you must restore the stock recovery image otherwise the OTA will fail.

If the OTA is a full update, then it will simply overwrite the recovery partition and finish successfully.

Thanks for the very quick and comprehensive answer, Bill. Much appreciated.

I always loaded the full OTA in my old Nexus days, so I'll keep my eye open for the full package.
