I'm on a POCO M4 Pro 5G eea global V13.0.1.0.SGBEUXM, and my fastboot doesn't accept the "fastboot reboot recovery" command.

Every time I install the recovery.img, then I can't go to the installed custom recovery, I tried every solution I could find:

None of these methods allowed me to initialize the installed custom recovery.

Any suggestion?

Thank you so much in advance

hi

I think the arraki's TWRP on xda cannot be started.

Better to use orangeFox.

There is no Recovery partition on this phone, so we use "fastboot flash boot recovery.img".
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] escalhavardo:
I think I just bricked my phone. I got it to enter in orangefox, then I selected restart system, and then is just looping into poco logo.

I can enter in fastboot, but even when i restore the original boot.img, it keeps looping in poco logo.

Can someone give me a help? I don´t have a clue how to boot a firmware trough fastboot

Very thankfully in advance

Edited: I managed to restore boot.img (thank God) :

Fastboot flash boot_a boot.img (Original firmware)

Fastboot flash boot_b boot.img (Original firmware)

fastboot reboot
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] kousuke5555:
Use Xiaomi Flash Tool.

If you can get into fastboot mode, you can restore.

Then do the following. or give up.

1.fastboot set_active b

2.fastboot flash boot_b New_fox.img

3.fastboot reboot recovery

4.Select "Flash current OrangeFOX" in menu (automatically flashe to both slot ab )

5.Select "reboot" in menu

6.Select "Slot A is active"

7. reboot
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] kousuke5555:
I forgot to say

Be careful not to lock bootloader with Xiaomi Flash Tool. It's a very confusing setting.
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] escalhavardo:
Where is "Slot A is active" ? i don´t see it

Did you mean "Switch to slot A" ?

Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver.
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] kousuke5555:
Go back to fastboot

"fastboot set_active a"

1.fastboot getvar current-slot

2.if the result is slot a.(slot a in which the system boots)

3.fastboot set_active b

4.fastboot flash boot_b New_fox.img

5.fastboot reboot recovery

6.Select "Flash current OrangeFOX" in menu (automatically flash to both slot a/b )

7.Select "back"

8.Select "reboot" in menu

9.Select "Slot A is active"

10.reboot

Do you have any other solution to this error "nv data is corrupted"
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] V0latyle:
It's important to note that many devices do not have a recovery partition. A/B slot devices are an example of this. The recovery kernel, as well as the system kernel and ramdisk, is in /boot. If you flash a recovery image to /boot, this overwrites anything that was already in there, meaning that you just deleted your system kernel.

To work around this, do not FLASH custom recoveries, but instead LIVE BOOT them:

fastboot boot twrp.img

This tells your device to load the image you're sending, without flashing it to the boot partition.

From here, once TWRP is running, you should be able to install TWRP which replaces the recovery kernel in /boot with TWRP, while preserving your system kernel.

However, in many cases, installing TWRP shouldn't be necessary at all if you can flash partitions directly from fastboot.

If you made this mistake and your device is only booting to TWRP, simply reflash the factory boot image.
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] kousuke5555:
hi

Unfortunately, some models of xiaomi cannot use the fastboot "boot" command.

The method mentioned in the thread here is a last resort.

I've talked to some developers but they don't accept this method.

sad.

However, there is no thread in xda, but the developer made twrp, so I think we should use it.
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] kousuke5555:
hi

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

I thought I needed an official unlock.

but maybe it seems that SP Flash Tool can also be used for locked.

ttps://telegra.ph/How-to-fix-system-destroyed-on-locked-MTK-bootloader-07-10

"nv data is corrupted" may be another issue.

Perhaps putting in the "correct" stock ROM might fix it.

However, it may be impossible if nvram is completely erased.

There are smart people who made the guide link above in the telegram group, so I think you should talk to them.

Hi

I was trying to flash gsi on my poco m4 pro 5g and that didn't work and my phone got bricked after that i flash stock rom with sp flash tool but the download only option was not working then i try to flash with format all + download and it did worked and the error started showing up. can i bypass that error "nv data is corrupted" and boot into system?
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] kousuke5555:
If you flash the wrong stock ROM (for example, evergreen rom → evergo rom) with SP TOOL and get "nv data is corrupted", it is highly likely that you can fix it by flashing the original ROM.

However, your case is different.

format all + download is a taboo setting.

I think the unique IMEI information was also erased.

Since it is a new problem apart from the bootloader lock problem, recovery is very difficult.

This is a problem beyond my knowledge

I'm sorry.
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] shanawgray:
thanks.....!

but I think I got the solution
[POCO M4 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11S (Opal), 11T (India)] kousuke5555:
For those looking at this thread.

Just in case, I'll mention it below.

This article is about "arraki's" TWRP and orangefox.

Information is old.

there's a new TWRP, so any troubles or questions should be resolved in that TWRP thread.

Thank you

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tap77:
Hi,

I have a question about a/b boot partitions/boot slots since i recently reverted to stable October build, from QPR1 beta 3 by manually flashing factory image with flash all script. I unrolled the beta and got an OTA that was supposed to install latest stable October build, but instead it just factory reset my phone with the beta build still installed, so the OTA must have failed. Because of this, i thought that the safest way to return to "stock" was to unlock the bootloader and perform a manual flash of factory image instead.

I did that without any problems and are again running latest October with a re-locked bootloader, but then i read somewhere that people are flashing both partitions with the flash all script. Meaning, running flash all script on active boot slot, then manually changing boot slot and then running flash all script again.

Is this necessary? Should i also do this if i want to be on "the safe side", or does the flash all script flash both slots at the same time?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
I believe it flashes your inactive partition and then boots to that. That way there is one good partition to boot from if the flash or ota fails in some way. I just flash the update twice if I want to make sure both are the same.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tap77:
This makes sense
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tap77:
By the way, when you say you flash the same update twice, do you mean sideload from recovery over adb the second time?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Either one should result the same in the end. I just found it easier to run the flash all script.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
It isn't necessary but if you want to insure your inactive slot (and therefore both slots) is bootable in case you run into trouble for some reason, then flashing the factory image to the inactive slot will take care of that. If you don't do a lot of flashing or modding, it's probably unnecessary. And if next month you update via OTA, it will put the new build on the opposite slot anyway so you don't have to worry about it. Both slots will be ensured to be bootable.

Additionally, if when you got your phone you took the 0 day OTA, then you will already have a build on both slots.

The way it works is, If you take an OTA or sideload an OTA, that will put the build you are installing on the inactive slot. Flashing the factory image via fastboot, however, does not flash the build to the inactive slot. It only flashes the build to your active and current slot. That's why you see people who want to do what you are asking about switch slots and then flash the factory image again.

Btw, Pixel Flasher has the ability to flash to both slots.

In the end, since you re-locked bootloader and, I'm guessing (?), will just update next month via OTA, you really shouldn't need to worry about doing anything.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Thanks for the clarification I wasn't 100% positive on the OTA flash vs fastboot.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tap77:
Thank you for the clarification!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tap77:
One last thing. Before i read your informative answer, i tried to flash the factory image to both partitions, one at the time, and after successfully doing so, i switched the active partition to the other one, believing that there was an OS there, but then the device bootlooped. i was able to recover from this, but does this mean that the flash all script deletes everything on the current inactive slot when flashing?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
No, it doesn't delete everything on the current inactive slot. You may have needed to boot into the bootloader of your original slot before booting up. When that happens you can also just flash the factory image again and it will boot up.

Hi all,

the title already says it: What is the best and most reliable replacement battery you can get today in (or shipping to) Central Europe? My battery is still okay, but starting to show its age now.

As far as I can see, Oneplus doesn't do replacements anymore?

I am willing to pay a bit more if that means I get a quality battery instead of cheap junk, but unfortunately, I don't find the O+ 6 on the third party stores I know. There are also some batteries out there with really bad ratings.

Have you had any experiences? Good / bad batteries?

I'm getting this phone imported to the UK but have a couple of questions I really should have looked into before ordering!

I drive a Tesla and use my phone for keyless entry. Works on Bluetooth. Will that work alright with the fold2?

Hello all,

I plan to buy the 10 Pro with colorOS .

I found this how to:

How to Install LineageOS ROM on OnePlus 10 Pro

In this comprehensive tutorial, we will show you the detailed steps to install the LineageOS ROM onto your OnePlus 10 Pro device.

www.droidwin.com

My question(s) are:

1. Is this work also with the coloros version?

2. The official site of lineageos do current not support this device. For get updates, is it better to wait? Or can this version fetching updates if coming?

Thank you for help
[OnePlus 10 Pro] zopostyle:
As there is no recovery tool. I recommend to stay on color os or oxygen os...

Remember there is a lot of bricked devices just waiting for a msm tool to work.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] DestroyHuawei:
Thank you .. This I need.

I wait. Its better
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
That's just a GSI, it's quite simple to install but you'll be missing a bunch of features.

It's extremely simple to install, use the guide here on XDA to do so.

Recovery still works and fastboot enhances does too.

Unless you're a fool you won't brick your device.

I've installed every available GSI and they all have issues, you can use them for the most part but the issues will remain and alas will never be fixed.

Your plan to buy any OnePlus device is a flawed one. It's not a great device, only a device with great potential, potential that's never going to be realised.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] DestroyHuawei:
Does anyone have any idea when lineageos will be officially available for the 10 Pro?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
There are no plans..

The issue is that sources from OnePlus have not been fully released iirc.

Furthermore there is no tool to recover a bricked device so if something goes wrong during testing then we're stuck in limbo.

This leaves us in a situation where we have a very capable device totally blocked by the totally greedy mungbeans that are Oppo / OnePlus.

My advice, if you've just bought your device then return it, if it's still quite new but you can't return it then sell it and get any of the pixel devices..

The current situation will not change and if it does it'll be a challenge from start to finish for the poor hapless soul who dares to start flashing their deuce with a custom ROM.

It could prove very expensive at worse or hit and miss at best, both extremely time extensive and worrying at the same time.

Wish I had better news mate, it's a sad time.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] DestroyHuawei:
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Yes, I understand all that. Fortunately I inform myself before I buy a device ... I don't have it yet and probably won't buy it.

I think I will buy a 9 Pro. I like oneplus. I am very happy with it.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
9 pro is a shout.. definitely have a look at the pixel 7..

7 pro was a great phone, I miss my 8 pro, it just worked and had that crazy photocrom camera...

Motorola edge ultra or the next nothing phone could both be a fair punt as well.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Yes, but it's negligible. Rootless adblocking and/or firewall can only really be done with a VPN. I strongly recommend Netguard from the same author as Xprivacylua. This combines both a rootless firewall and adblock in one and has a fantastic interface. There is a free and donation version.

For blocking ads, I paid for AdGuard a couple years ago, in conjunction with AdAway and limits set in XPrivacyLua, I see ZERO ads, plus AdGuard works with other platforms too, so I've got it running on a couple of my PCs as well. It's not a root app, but I've never had a battery drain from it. It does show that it's often awake, but that's because it's working - it's not actually taking up battery.

Where is the "official" link to these nowadays? Does this stop Google from spying on us quote so much? I'm very interested seeing as I'll have the oligarchs' phone. I love their product. Too bad they're using it against us!

Can you elaborate? I'm really interested in deciding if the pain of rooting is worth it. I'm still on A10 on my p2xl because I didn't wanna deal with the pain of the big update to a11.

I'm guessing you're using SE to modify files for your aosp mods?

is substratum lite the non-root version? Substratum swift black is something that really urges me to root.

Without installing the app I'm having a hard time seeing what Adguard costs. I don't see the cost listed in the description in play store. Is it a subscription cost or one time fee? What is the cost?

I'd like to confirm a couple of things about this comment. You're running it on a Pro 7, yes? I used this app on my OnePlus 7T for years--and loved it. It never worked on my P6, and doesn't actually limit charging on my P7P. It installs, opens, and runs--but charges past the (80%) limit I set.

Does it actually limit charging on your P7P?
