[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] iostrym:
Sorry to insist but what are you calling 'data' ? Is it the SD card content (I don't think so) or is it the data partition on my internal memory ? So it could be :

Photo taken in internal memory

Data stored by apps like photo from WhatsApp or stuff like that ?

Temp file of each app like settings of app, etc.

Would it be a problem if I erase all my phone and loose all my apps but data off app are still there, it will take space for nothing right ?

What about flashed TWRP? will it be removed by the flashing process ? I think TWRP is flashed in recovery partition but not sure.

As you see I'm not familiar with android partition even if I did several times this kind of process with different phones.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] SubwayChamp:
Not exactly what I call data, but, what data means in Android World.

Formatting data, it's deleted all the data from apps stored in /data partition, all the data regards settings, all the apps installed by the user, general configurations and all the data stored in internal storage, also the system apps uninstalled by the user can come again.

As per the SD Card, if you have one inside, it is not touched in the process.

If you flash the recovery ROM using TWRP, it won't be overwritten, if you flash the fastboot ROM, you'll lose the access to TWRP.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] iostrym:
Thanks. Tell me if I'm wrong but if a choose to flash stock miui 13 version whereas I'm currently in miui12 I should maybe erase data also ? Maybe apps won't works again from 12 to 13 version ? I should be cleaner to reinstall them again don't you think ?

About fastboot stock rom isn't it strange that the official website provides only miui 11 rom whereas your site has miui13 version? How is it possible ? For recovery rom I understand because people can backup their phone and could create a recovery rom like this with miui13 after doing the ota. But for the fastboot rom, if Xiaomi don't provides it and provides only miui11 one, where does the miui13 come from ?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] SubwayChamp:
It would work even if you don't erase data, but, I personally prefer erasing it, to avoid some lags/bugs in the future.

Firstly, be sure that your device is Joyeuse.

All the updates, either recovery and fastboot ROM, are provided by Miui, all of them are official updates, not uploaded from users´ devices.

It's A12, not A13, I don't think your device see the light on A13.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] iostrym:
Yes android 13. But miui 13 comes with android 12 and my current os is miui12 that comes with android11. (If I'm correct).

I have Redmi note 9 pro, M2003J6B2G (photo is 64M). I don't know where Curtana or joyeuse word can be really found in my phone but after some readings I had the feeling that M2003J6B2G = joyeuse version.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] SubwayChamp:
Xiaomi also could update the Miui version, so Miui 13 came with Android 11 for some devices, don't stay there, just check the Android version that is specified in a tab, at the download list.

There are some apps like Device Info and other similar, from Play Store that can tell you, exactly, which your model is, Anyway, Redmi Note 9 Pro is Joyeuse but, be sure, before to proceed, consult some app like the mentioned.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] iostrym:
Cpu-z indicate joyeuse-eea. Should be good.

Ok so I will delete the data partition and I will use fastboot flash using Xiaomi tool. I'm not sure to understand your answer about the SD card. Will it be erased during the process ? I know that sdcard are now crypted so that they could be used only by my phone. If the os is modified, maybe I won't be able to read it even if it is not formated. Don't you think ?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] SubwayChamp:
Good, then it is the european version.

Just to not confuse, sdcard is the internal memory, that is symlinked as /data/media/0, all the internal memory is gone when we format data, some folders are recreated at the first boot, after performing it.

SD Card refers to Secure Digital card, that is an external media storage, it is absolutely excluded to any operation from Android, when flashing, updating the system or formatting data, of course, you should consider that some apps like camera can store its pictures there, previous authorization from user, but they will stay there yet, and some folder can be created too, at the first boot, but nothing that harms.

Just to know, sdcard as internal memory is not encrypted at all, it's accessible for any user, always, that can bypass the locking feature of the choice of the user, i.e. PIN, pattern, etc.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] iostrym:
Thanks I didn't know that sdcard and SD card weren't the same. My concern is about external memory card (SD card). If not formated. I'm afraid that it couldn't be used after reboot. Except if the decryption key is linked to my phone (hardware) and not the software part (os) of my phone
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] SubwayChamp:
The encryption is permanent since A6, it remains, at least, you can do something about it, using a custom recovery, a custom module, script, or something, nothing that the end user can worry about, for the normal use of the device.

Trying to guess, you did encrypt your SD card, then the encryption key is linked, only to your SD card, the SD card, specially, in newer Android versions, is treated as a privacy media user concern, so every time more, apps can't access to, as easy as the older times, it is RO by default.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] iostrym:
Sorry I have difficulties to read and understand your last message as my English is bad.

Especially the second part... I don't encrypt anything myself. I just now that recent version of Android encrypt the sdcard and it couldn't be used in a computer for instance or another phone. So I think that maybe after new rom flashed. SD card won't be read or write from the phone and I will have to format it myself so that I can read it from my phone. Correct ?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] SubwayChamp:
Probably my English is worse than yours.

You are again mixing the terms, in the first part, you're saying "...recent version of Android encrypt the sdcard" and linking to the second part, you're saying "...after new rom flashed. SD card won't be read or write"

As I said to you previously /sdcard AKA internal storage is not encrypted at all, at any time, the fact that you need to authorize the MTP connection within your device and a PC, doesn't change that, if you or anyone else, have access to the Android interface, then you or anyone else, can see all the data/files/pictures/audio/video stored, in the internal storage, by using a file manager app, or a specific app for every file instance/format, i.e. a music player for videos/sounds/musics, a gallery app for pictures/images, and so on.

As per the SD card, the same, if the user (you, in this case), didn't encrypt it, then, Android, also, doesn't encrypt it, so you and anyone else, can access to the data stored in it, either during the OS functioning normally, and/or after the flashing/formatting process.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] iostrym:
sorry of course I'm still talking about the SD card. maybe it wasn't with this phone but I'm quite sure there is an encryption of SD card. in fact when you plug a new sdcard in the phone your are asked if you want a "normal SD card" or a "extended date SD card". if I choose the second choice, then SD card is encrypted and I can't use it with another phone or with a PC. Advantage of the second choice is that the SD card can be used to install more apps.

maybe it was with a previous phone.

I have the feeling that for my phone SD card is in the first mode, "classic SD card" only used to store classic data (photo, music etc.) that can be generated by some specific apps.

maybe we are agree ? :)
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] SubwayChamp:
Don't worry, it's just that the terms make the difference, and I'm not talking about the English, but about technical mistakes that can lead to the worst scenarios.

What you are talking about is, the choice (started with Android Marshmallow), to use your SD card, as internal (phone) or portable storage.

The first choice, just treat the SD card as "internal" storage, formatting it, at the actual partition format, and the second choice, use it as an external disk drive, (as the Windows-fashion, or other PC OSes).

In this case, then your SD card will be formatted and encrypted, as it will be treated, not really like an internal storage as we know it, like the sdcard (/data/media/0), but a root storage, part of the system itself.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] iostrym:
ok, then there is a case where my SD card could be encrypted and in this case, maybe I won't be able to read/write it after flashing the new stock rom. right ? and I will need to format it. right ?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] SubwayChamp:
Not accidentally, if you didn't encrypt it, previously to the flashing/format process, either, encrypting it by your self, or using it as a phone storage, then it´won't.

So far no. No2Chem is working on something right now in conjunction with his back light screen dimmer (that I never go to work). As far I know there is no other app that will control them. If there is that would be nice to save a little bit of juice.

Hello. Please help on how i can unlock bootloader for my nokia c01 plus which the developer feature is disabled. I want to install a custom rom like lineage
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] MJPByron:
I bought a Galaxy Tab E on the cheap (legally). I don't know the owner nor will I, but FWIW I can at least prove legal ownership of the tablet. Problem is that I wiped it via the bootloader and now am faced with FRP doing its thing.

Some tutorials involved turning on voice mode by holding down two fingers, then drawing an L on the screen to invoke assistive mode settings, and a few other steps after that to be able to browse to google and continue through circumventing FRP. Drawing the L does nothing, so I'm kinda at a loss.

Is there some way to reliably bypass FRP if the draw-an-L trick doesn't work?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] RiBBiTeDD:
Hello all...I'm a fellow victim of the OTA updates screwing us debloaters currently stuck in a boot-loop. I'm trying to recover my the past several years text notes containing all the medical details for my son's illness. Details on that can be found on my earlier post.

As a last ditch effort, I'm going to try flashing the factory firmware in hopes that I'll be able to snag them and then flash the latest firmware. My device is not rooted.

However, it's been many many years since I've done this and I've spent the day reading everything I could to ensure I don't screw this up and I have a few questions. The phone is under warranty and I really don't want to trip Knox.

First...I'm having trouble finding the correct firmware (I think? Yay AT&T!). Unfortunately, since I'm boot looping, I can't load the app to pull all the phone details now. But, when I pulled the phone details a little over a week ago trying to solve another issue, I made a note of what appears to be the baseband version: G991USQU5CVCC.

The only info I can find on it on AT&T's website, here: https://www.att.com/device-support/article/wireless/KM1428542/Samsung/SamsungSMG998U

I'm unable to find a download for it though. AT&T isn't available via Frija or Samloader.

However, if all my ADD-riddled reading today is correct, I should be able to get away with flashing one for the 1U1 version, right?

If not, anyone know where I can find the firmware that would work for the 1U version/G991USQU5CVCC?

If so, my thoughts are that my best chance of being able to it to stop looping long enough would be to flash the last-known-good version as opposed to the latest...this is doable, right? If that's correct, this is the one I've grabbed: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s21/firmware/SM-G991U1/ATT/download/G991U1UEU5CVGB/1666245/

Also, regarding flashing...I'm reading it can be done via ADB sideload or cracked Odin...is one better/safer than the other?

Any other thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated too.

Thanks!

Yup, I just had to figure out how it all worked...I was super-worried because I couldn't find 1U firmware for AT&T.

Buuut, guess what?!?!

Holy crap!! I got in!!!

I downloaded a newer version after flashing the current one didn't resolve it...just because...why not at this point?

It flashed successfully, did the same thing after initial reboot through...starts loading lock screen, flashing on/off randomly and reboot.

This time, however, it loaded into something different than the standard recovery menu. I don't remember the name, but, there was only 4 options.

Try Again

Delete App Data

View Logs

Shut Down

I decided to try the Delete App Data option as the data I was trying to get was in the download folder...not specifically part of an app...and it rebooted into Safe Mode without the glitch!! Previously, the glitch still happened in Safe Mode.

It went into what appeared to be a factory reset phone with the Get Started thing, connect to WiFi, permissions, restore data, etc. I skipped all that though, figuring it actually factory reset the phone and that I had officially lost this battle and would have to rebuild all my notes (something I had come to accept would probably be the case in this situation).

But! Once I went through that and got the main Safe Mode screen, I connected it back up to the laptop and EVERYTHING IS THERE!!!!!

I'm copying off now as I type this.

Thanks to you and iBowToAndroid for all your help with this...you guys saved me days/weeks of time to pull all the records and recreate my notes. Unsure how to tag iBowToAndroid on here...but, he helped me understanding the firmware/carrier stuff via DM.

Perhaps someone can suggest a solution? Thanks
[Touch HD General] multan:
For .cab file, you should copy the file into your mobile device, and launch the installation from your device.

For .exe file, you should launch the installation from your desktop/laptop and complete the installation from your mobile device.

I think if you wanna tweak your device, which involves the registry, you will need a registry editor which you can google for easily.
[Touch HD General] Baldrick1066:
Thanks.

Now realised problem.

WinRAR was recognising the .cab file as an archive file. I was extracting it because of this :eek:

Guys

I am using SM-G996UZSAVZW here in Pakistan. This is a Verizon USA S21+ that is imported to Pakistan. My problem is, I have to manually update through ODIN every time there is an update. The software update option does not work within the about section of the phone. I am guessing It has something to do with not being bound to Verizon anymore. I have ended up updating every 3rd or 4th month to save myself the hassle of updating all the time.

Can someone tell me if there is a workaround so the OTA works from the phone itself? Maybe I can install ROM from another region that lets me auto-update? Any ideas would be appreciated.

The reason it's not working is because the CSC was modified. The XAA sales code goes with U1 firmware, not U. So basically, your phone doesn't think that you have valid firmware installed, since XAA is not one of the valid sales codes that goes with U firmware.

If you flash U1 firmware, that will likely solve the problem
