@diogofd8

Only wipe or factory reset isn't enough.

Because of the encryption, you must always format data before starting a new flashed rom.

Meaning all content incl. pictures etc. will be deleted.

The data parttion will be encrypted when starting up the rom for the first time.

If the data partition is already encrypted by an old rom, the new rom can't start up
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] BigChungus321:
If you want decryption for a11 then you can only use TWRP official for that. Yes, you need to downgrade firmware to miui 12.5.x or depending on what the ROM maintainer says. I always factory reset before and after flashing the rom 'cuz why not.

Since a lot of the roms for sweet/sweetin now is OSS based, my method for flashing is more straight forward now on OrangeFox / TWRP. Also since I'm formatting before flashing, the ROM has to be in SD Card or OTG:

1. Wipe Dalvik, Data, Cache, Metadata (optional for OSS based, required for MIUI-based)

2. Format Data (the option where you type "yes")

3. Reboot back to recovery

4. Flash ROM's recommended firmware

5. Flash ROM and Gapps (optional)

6. Format Data once more

7. Reboot

I don't recommend flashing dfe. Also I suggest magisk or custom kernel is flashed after the first boot. Sometimes though you need to flash magisk after the rom for it to boot.

If you're using the rom's provided recovery like POS recovery, LOS Recovery, crDroid Recovery etc... then:

1. Format Data, Cache (sometimes there is a format system too so format that)

2. Reboot back to recovery

3. Flash recommend firmware

4. Flash ROM and Gapps (optional)

5. Format Data and Reboot

You can only use either adb sideload or flashing using SD Card or OTG for this method.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] diogofd8:
I was missing formatting data after wiping all partitions. It's weird that one has to do it this way but all good. Thank you for your explanation!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] xmaxrayx:
HI, can you tell me why? because I think om going to update to A12,

is that because of Batterylife or because the UI?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] diogofd8:
Ye I dislike the UI of A12. Batterylife in A11 has been okay tho, I still have problems trying to get notifications to work without draining the battery, I've never had a phone with an LED for notifications draining this much battery just for blinking a small light. With this one I've tried aodnotifications, notifybuddy, among others. They're all draining 3-5% battery per hour, what the heck... stock always on display isn't configurable and I hate it. I'm legit thinking of gifting this phone to my mom and buying a new one just because of the lack of LED.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] xmaxrayx:
AH I see thanks for sharing your experience hope A13 will better otherwise seem I will be stuck on A11.

Did you try another A12 ROM? because crdroid doesn't even have that good battery life compared to let's say ArrowOS.

I think most non-LCD phones don't come with LED notifications and they just offer the Always-on-display future.

but be honest Snapdragon G732 doesn't offer that long battery that efficiency.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] srslye:
I feel your pain dude. The lack of LED notification light and poor camera sensor caused me to give the phone to my mom.

Good luck finding modern phones with a LED notification light. I've gone second hand to find one.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
I know man. I hate those large buttons for quick settings. Are they made for the blind?

I don't see a reason to change the quick settings layout so drastically. For example, instead of the usual 6 icons (on Android 11) seen after one swipe from the top, there are 4 now, and a total of 8 icons on Android 12 as opposed to 12 icons on Android 11 in quick settings.

Does one really need bigger brightness and volume sliders?

I flashed Arrow 12L and thought it is their 'invention' but no, it is android 12 UI. What a waste of space, hate it.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
A poor camera sensor in 'sweet'? Did you try gcam? I know it is not the greatest camera in a smartphone but beats anything I saw in a $150 phone.

What did you finally get second-hand? Thanks.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] RAMBO29:
I got LED blinker pro and it's awesome. Can get a led dot, (red for missed call, yellow for sms, green for WA etc) or edge lighting.

I am back to A11, MIUI 12 And very happy
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Ezio553:
Have you switched back to any A11 rom yet.
[Google Pixel 5a] danielhatzor:
Edit: Was obviously assuming your bootloader is unlocked, but I guess it's not your case if your'e returning your phone to Google.

Experiencing a similar problem. adb unauthorized means you need to approve the adb connection on the android device, which you unfortunately can't.

If you haven't set a password/pin/pattern on your lock screen and your data is not encrypted you can:

1. Reboot to bootloader (Power + volume down for 15-20 seconds)

2. Use fastboot to boot TWRP (Do not flash)

3. Use ADB there

However if you have set a lock screen password/pin/pattern then your data will be encrypted and you wont be able to decrypt it as TWRP does not support encryption/decryption for A12+. What you can probably do is backup your encrypted data partition to your PC (Using the twrp command in shell) and restore it when your phone is back.
[Google Pixel 5a] Subrad5446@aol.com:
Hi there, thanks for responding. Actually, yes, my bootloader is unlocked. The phone is rooted. I have enabled usb debugging in the past, but for some reason it is still unauthorized. I currently cannot even get the os to boot, but I cannot figure out why because no screen. When I try to flash the factory image, removing the "-w" so my data isn't wiped, the process hangs att the portion where it boots to fastbootd and will not go any further.

I'm going to try to boot into twrp again. I seem to remember that I tried this, but let's see.

If you have any other info or advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I just tried to boot into twrp, and I get an error message. It is : (bootloader) boot.img missing cmdline or OS version

I have attached a picture of the command line messages. Maybe someone here can see something that would point to something that would help
[Google Pixel 5a] danielhatzor:
Is it possible you flashed an incompatible / corrupted factory image for your phone?

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/kn257b
[Google Pixel 5a] Subrad5446@aol.com:
Yeah, I just went and double checked, and then reflashed to see. I def have the July barbet image, which is for the 5a, my device. It just won't work.

Google is trying to get me to either take the device to ubreakifix, which when I try tell me that they do not do motherboard issues, or send the device to them, which I am hesitant to do because I feel they are going to wipe the device. Very frustration situation. I've always used nexus/pixel devices becuase of the readily available info on here, but this just doesn't seem to be a popular development device, and I can't seem to find a way. I know there is some command or series of commands that will fix this issue, I just can't seem to find it.

Thank you again for replying and attempting to help. Truly appreciated. Hopefully someone will stumble across this and let me know.

Nook v1	Nook Simple Touch	Nook Simple Touch w/ Glowlight	Nook Glowlight	Nook Glowlight Plus	Nook Glowlight 3	Nook Glowlight Plus (7.8 inch)	Nook Glowlight 4

The other one

The 2019 Glowlight Plus shares the same name as the 2015 release. To avoid confusion, people began referring to it as the Glowlight 4, a name later used for the 2021 Nook release (surprisedpikachu.jpg). While the 2019 Nook is both confused with the 2015 and 2021 Nooks, it is less common than either. This makes it difficult to find compatible resources and tutorials.

This thread is for collecting the available resources for the 2019 Nook in one place, and eventually building a step-by-step guide for unlocking the potential of the device.

Why the BNRV700?

Three years after its release, it's currently the cheapest option for a reader with a screen size ideal for large format PDFs, such as textbooks. As of writing, the Nook Glowlight Plus (2019) can be found for half (or less) the price of other options with a similar display.

Unfortunately, the Nook ships with poor support for PDFs, sluggish hardware, severely outdated firmware (Android 4.4.2, released 2013) and lacks additional features like expandable storage. Some of these issues can be remedied, meaning the Nook could be a great option for many people, but only if it's safe and convenient to expand its functionality.

If you know of any useful resources or guides, please leave them in the comments below.

Note: This is an early work in progress. As of writing this, I don't have the device yet.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The stock recovery is not a big deal. It's in every update.zip

Just flash it with fastboot.

Why do you want it anyway when either TWRP or NeoNoogie is more powerful?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I am not the person to ask, but you are right that the first step is to be sure you can restore the device to stock. I'm one of those eccentrics who still loves and uses and continues to develop little improvements for the original NST/G, so all this fastboot stuff is pretty meaningless to me. I've flashed custom ROMs on Nook Tablets, but that's a totally different operation since back in the day Android was not locked up so tightly.

[Nook Touch General] jun127:
I'd like to put together a simple guide, similar to what I wrote for the original NST about 10 years ago. I think the device needs a roadmap to outline what is currently possible in terms that are easy to follow. The device seems like it has a lot of potential, but it's just not very accessible at the moment.

I watched your video on running the CM on the NST, very interesting stuff and I'm glad to see some people are still keeping the device alive. I had used the original NST as a smartphone for a (short) while, even using it with Google phone and Whatsapp. It was surprisingly functional and, with the right optimizations, the battery could seemingly last forever with light use. Although it otherwise held up well, the rubber front panel and soft-touch back eventually degraded into a gooey mess. Removing the soft-touch coating on the back shell and replacing the rubber on the front with leather made it a more enjoyable reading experience for a while. Unfortunately, very poor app availability on Android 2.1 and the small, relatively low resolution display made it almost unusable for large format PDFs. Ultimately, the screen started failing and although it's still worth fixing, after 10 years it's overdue for an upgrade.

There's some peace of mind in knowing how to return things to exactly where you started. Even if unnecessary, there's always the possibility of some unforeseen issue and having a clear roadmap that you can follow to get back to the very beginning makes a difference in my mind.

Hello Sams10, you start in dowload mode you flash with odin 3.14.4 the official firmware the one mark in my signature me AUT or XEF lash the 4 BL-AP-CP-CSC files it will restart as on the first day. Then install magisk 25.2 you transfer AP on your S10, you modify with magisk you will have a file in internal memory in dowload magisk_patchedxxxx.tar you transfer it with ADB on the pc which in adb must give this adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-25200_G3e9K.tar

once transferred ok you put yourself in dowload mode and you put the file BL -AP patched -CP -home CSC you start you let it restart and you open magisk to activate zygisk then you install the modules you will find here https://forum .xda-developers.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/
