So is there a way to get security updates without updating to A13?
[Google Pixel 6a] mmead1143:
I wouldn't think so but don't know for sure, sorry.
[Google Pixel 6a] mmead1143:
Pretty sure you can't. If you go to the Factory Images page for directly downloading the img file, the last Android 12 security update ends in July. I don't see any way to more forward without upgrading to 13:

Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

[Google Pixel 6a] graysky:
Thanks. Kinda what I thought.
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
It will be interesting to see what happens in about 3 years. The 6a is guaranteed security updates for 5 years, but OS upgrades for only 3. So, in 3 years, will they continue to backport security updates to A15 for a couple more years, or will they find it easier to move the 6a to A16, etc.
[Google Pixel 6a] craigacgomez:
Older versions of Android continue to get security updates (to an extent), but Google will not simultaneously release updates for multiple OS versions for the device. When Google decides to stop providing new OS versions for the Pixel 6a, it will continue to receive security updates for the last OS version it received until the EOL.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] AceQueen:
Hello guys, does anyone had their device suddenly bricked before? In my case, my device main mic and top mic suddenly not functioned one time then I rebooted and got into a bootloop . After several bootlooping, the device could start normally on its own but my main mic and top mic was still not functioning so I decided to backup my stuff and update new package through the settings . After successfully updating, the device reboot on its own and I was facing the same bootloop then I wiped data through recovery mode, still the same bootloop and then it could start normally after some time . The problem now is that the device name is not Poco X3 pro, usually when I get into bank app it shows my device name but now the device name is weird it is QCOM-BTD . Why is it so? Oh and I also tried unlocking the bootloader when the phone started again just in case if I face the bootloop again.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] doomalikaw99:
What a coincidence. My phone just got bricked too (my post is in the forums :p). Does it turn on anymore?

This is what it looks like, and if I try to boot into recovery or system it just says "no operating OS found."

Windows won't recognize it when trying to connect via USB.

Any way to fix this? Help would be greatly appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] somnomania:
I'm having so much trouble with this process, I think at least in part because it's a no-name brand with no manufacturer website for resources, but also most guides I'm finding on the rooting process are very much "draw the rest of the owl". Lots of "okay now do this with this file" without explaining how to do that or where to get the file, which leads me to my current problem. I'm trying to follow the guide here. Where I'm stuck is "GPT file from your firmware or backup". No idea how to obtain that. I have the firehose programmer file, I think; the main guide I'm following to try and root my phone, here, says I need prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf, which I've downloaded. I have all the drivers, I have QFiL, I have QPST, I have Qualcomm GPTtool, and I don't really understand what to do with any of them or why it's not working. What I need, based on the main guide I'm using, is rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml. But I need the GPT file to generate those? I'm so far over my head with this, I just want my phone rooted and working. Also, tried the secondary method at the bottom of the main guide (second link), and got this result: View attachment 5759833

Edit, because apparently XDA is all about posterity and doesn't like threads on completely different problems if they're the same person and the same phone: I did finally get to the point of rooting it. The major problem I have now is that it will only boot to fastboot mode. I can get it into recovery mode, but I get the dead android with "no connection" under it, and I've tried everything the internet has suggested to get past that, and it won't. Additionally, any fastboot command (apart from "fastboot devices") I try in ADB returns "FAILED (remote: 'unknown command'). I don't know how to get it into EDL mode from fastboot. I've tried every button combo possible, and the only one that does anything different is power + volume up, which changes it to a bright white screen. At this point I just want to do a hard reset so I can take another go at the rooting process, but the phone doesn't seem to want to allow me to. I would appreciate any help with this; I don't have a working phone at the moment because of these issues.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
use linux, no rawprogram0.xml needed (you can however generate rawprogram0.xml with this)

https://github.com/bkerler/edl
[General Questions and Answers] somnomania:
I don't have Linux, I don't want Linux, but that link might be useful if I reach the point where I can try rooting again. So far out of six places, no one has been able to help yet.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
QFIL is a pain. linux is easier when it comes to usb connection, no need to worry about drivers.

the link itself contain bootable iso you could run from pendrive. however it's possible to install python and run everything on windows, too.

for EDL mode try these methods

- power off device, hold both Volume keys and plug in usb-cable

or

- fastboot oem reboot-edl

or

- DIY deep flash cable

or

- test point method

once in EDL mode you can flash little kernel which contains fastboot instruction set, brings fastboot back to life.

with that EDL tool one can enable OEM unlock, then unlock bootloader from fastboot. once unlocked, flash phhusson's or AndyYan's GSI or whatever ROM and U683CL firmware from one of the U683CL threads.

it's good you already have working firehose loader for this device, device can be unbricked and rooted easy.
[General Questions and Answers] somnomania:
In looking up how I might find the test points for this phone, I found a video on factory resetting this exact model, which contained the revelation that to get past the "no connection" android, I needed to hold the power button and TAP volume up once, rather than hold it like I've tried before. So I got into recovery mode, but I wiped the data and the cache and it's still only booting into fastboot. If I hold the two volume buttons and then plug it into the computer, I get the white screen, so maybe that's EDL mode as the phone stands right now? QPST's detecting it now, at least, as Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download). So I guess I'll try reflashing. I think I still have the stock firmware somewhere, but do I need a ROM as well?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 11575455:
I have/had this device, I was able to root no issues. It's a junk device and I quickly quit working on it but I think I posted stuff for it on here at one point
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 11575455:
stock firmware is the rom
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
for QPST/QFIL you need rawprogram0.xml and Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Drivers.

with ROM i mean android boot + system partition (+ vendor maybe).

with firmware I mean bootloader, tee, baseband, modem, sim, wifi, touch, sound, etc (various partitions).

the former one can be replaced with custom ROM or GSI, or just use stock ROM. the latter is important for unbricking. usually it's all together bundled in full stock ROM/firmware download.
[General Questions and Answers] somnomania:
Thank you.

I have all of that, and I'm still having issues. With QFIL, I'm getting Sahara fail, process fail, and flash information is not filled. Now I can't even get it to detect the phone, after multiple attempts and disconnecting and reconnecting and closing QFIL and reopening it and moving files, it's like it got tired or something. And I attempted the GitHub thing, but I'm stuck on installing because CMD tells me when I put in "pip3 install -r requirements.txt" that "pip3" isn't recognized as anything. I think that method is too much for me anyway, I don't understand most of what it says past the installation part.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
I don't know about windows but try pip.exe and pip3.exe

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\pip.exe install -r path\to\requirements.txt

usage is quite simple, but you need to connect device in EDL mode before a certain timeout. try with battery removed and both volume keys. linux no need for drivers or rawprogram0.xml

this is how I read recovery partition off device (on linux)

python edl r recovery recovery.img

Has anyone per chance found the edl test points for this device? I am trying to port EDK2 and LK1ST/LK2ND to it but I am having trouble since I am in 900E (Diagnostics mode) and not 9008 (QDL mode).

Running the command to reboot into 9008 mode isn't working either.

hi all

I am on Redmi Note 10 pro using MIUI 13.0.14 Global stable. When I turned off Mobile Data (in Security/Data Usage/ Restrict Data usage) for apps like Instagram , Facebook i find that I could still use them when I am only on mobile data (no wifi). I can still post and watch Reels and videos . The "app name cannot use network" warning does comes up but i can simply ignore it and the IG or FB can still access the mobile data.

is something broken on my phone?

thank you

I don't think your phone is broken because I have the same problem. Many apps on my phone gobble expensive mobile data, even though I have restricted them in settings!!

In adb I could get it into adb su with # thing

[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
Thanks for your work!

Installed as on twrp.me described wont boot (https://twrp.me/asus/zenfone9.html)

Had to flash stock recovery again.

Rooted device on 32.2050.2050.29 with kirisakura-kernel.

Any idea what im doing wrong?
[Asus Zenfone 9] Captain_Throwback:
If you're not on stock kernel, then that's probably the problem. I know the custom kernel situation is different on this device than previous ones. This may be something that @Freak07 & I have to look into together. In the meantime, can you restore back to stock kernel and confirm that TWRP works, and then install Kirisakura and see if everything still works?
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
Restored stock kernel with kernelflasher but now it wont boot. Tried to change the slot to a but isnt allowed in fastboot.

Have to find out now how to change the slot or install stock kernel via fastboot...
[Asus Zenfone 9] Captain_Throwback:
It doesn't sound like you followed the procedure in the Kirisakura thread FAQ to fully return to stock. Can you confirm exactly what you did?
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
just restored the backup i made with kernelflasher befor i installed the custom kernel and rebooted.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Captain_Throwback:
I'm not familiar with that app, sorry. I just know that's not the process mentioned in his thread, so until you do that, I can't really confirm what the problem could be.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
ok, im back on stock. flashing following files helped. i will test twrp again later and report. thanks for your replies.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot reboot fastboot

fastboot flash vendor_dlkm vendor_dlkm.img

fastboot reboot
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
With stock kernel twrp works. Just installed as described on twrp.me. The official twrp app from playstore crashes after root allowing.

For everyone who comes from custom kernel flash the files from your actual firmware (payload-dumper) as described in the post above.

Are you working on custom kernel support?
[Asus Zenfone 9] Captain_Throwback:
From stock, I just flashed the Kirisakura zip in TWRP and my device booted up fine.

EDIT: While the above is true, TWRP no longer functions after installing the kernel, and the device won't reboot again after installing it. So something is definitely wrong somewhere.

For now, I can only suggest not using it with a custom kernel until we figure this out.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
Ok, flashing with EXKernelManager works also. (y)

update

I can do reboots but twrp doesnt work anymore
[Asus Zenfone 9] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, there seems to be an issue in the kernel that's preventing TWRP from working. I'm not sure what the issue is, unfortunately.
[Asus Zenfone 9] c19932:
So every time I restore a back up, do I have to delete all lock screen requirements ?

If that's the case, I would have to redo my fingerprints every time
[Asus Zenfone 9] Captain_Throwback:
Yes.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Captain_Throwback:
Quick PSA for anyone using this TWRP that also wants to use a custom kernel:

As of Kirisakura 2.0.6, the custom kernel and TWRP can now co-exist. This is due to the changes that allowed a monolithic kernel build. Presently, CleanSlate has not adopted those changes, but if/when it does, I will remove that disclaimer from the OP.

Thanks to @arter97, @Freak07, & @tbalden for supporting this device!

I also had to reflash the raw because the phone was stuck in bootloader mode.

Just read carefully on the page that you've downloaded the twrp.img. I saw a short brief guide on how to flash TWRP recovery as below: (using termux or any terminal on your phone)

1. Copy downloaded file and Place it in the root of your /sdcard folder and rename it to twrp.img.

2. Type following command on termux or any terminal (on your phone).

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery_a

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery_b

Ps_1: it works for me, after failed to flash via fastboot due to locked state. (my phone is rooted with Magisk)

You have to access the bootloader menu (power+vol -) then run cmd and type "fastboot devices". A number must be shown. Remember to connect the phone to pc via the side usb C port, not the one at the bottom.
