I use a Serrano Hot Pepper, or it says "hot pepper" on loading screen. In about phone states it's build: (HPP-L55B-J-9.0.0)

This program does recognize my phone initially with "adb devices" and the command to put it into fastboot, but that's as far as I can get it to go. After that stage it states "waiting for devices".

I've tried the recommended steps of changing usb ports and changing to different cables, but with no success. I did however get it to the (HPP-L55B-J-9.0.0) from it's original (HPP-L55B-J-10.0.0) so I was

on the same image as recommended in this artical, so I am stumped as to what the issue is. Hoping for some advice or assistance with this as the phone is just full of bloatware which slows it drastically. Even after disabling some they just enable themselves again and again. Oh it states in about phone it's an android 10. Also a Qlink provider phone too.

Thank you.

It is with deep sadness that I'm reporting the passing of our friend and colleague Viva La Android R.I.P. aka Shane. He asked me before he passed to let his users know how much he appreciated your support for what he loved doing on XDA.

I will miss my friend very much.😑

Does anyone have backups of the firmware he posted since the links are down if anyone has them i can download them and archive them on my end.
[Android General] Jphtuning:
Worth noting the software can be found with a google search but the link for the firmware for the serrano is still good. I used it to fix a brand new phone that got stuck in bootloop after a automatic update. So glad this is still here wish i could thank him.
[Android General] JT1510365:
i am talking about the OTA Links they are down
[Android General] SoulSnatchr:
I know this is an old thread but does anyone have the update OTA files? All the links say the file is no longer there... Thank you.

Folder is empty. Where can I get the files please?
[Android General] SoulSnatchr:
Hey I restored my firmware to stick with your stock firmware file but when I try to apply the j13.update OTA file it says the user/release-keys don't match and aborts installation. Says it's looking for hpp-l55b:10/qpia.190711.020/690 or /715 user/release keys but mine is /649. Ends with Error (status 7) Installation aborted. Please help.
[Android General] SoulSnatchr:
I tried to use the j13 ota update but it says the user/release-keys don't match. Any help?
[Android General] SoulSnatchr:
Idk if you're still having this problem but I was too and I couldn't get fastboot devices to recognize my device either so I couldn't flash the magisk modified boot.img or disable verity either. I think whatever happened to our phones actually removed the bootloader function and dmverity as well. But I did manage to "fix" it. Fastboot devices will recognize the phone in fastbootd mode. Boot the phone into fastboot mode (that's fastbootd NOT fastboot/bootloader and flash the magisk modified boot.img from there instead of in botloader mode with fastboot flash boot magiskboot.img command. Don't worry about vbmeta cuz its not there anymore. Now use fastboot reboot to reboot the phone. You'll now notice the phone is corrupt message is gone and you don't have to push start again to get it to boot. You'll find the magisk placeholder stub in your app drawer. Just click on it to finish installing Magisk on the phone (you will need a cell or wifi connection to finish the install). Now your phone is systemlessly rooted with Magisk and you'll no longer get the phone is corrupt message when you boot or restart your phone. The orange state message does still persist but no more multiple start button presses. This was a huge discovery and help to me hopefully it'll help you too.

Hey!

I have been using AdGuard VPN so far but apparently it is not working anymore on Android 13. There is a problem with creating VPN connection.

It will probably take some time for the developers to fix that.

Since I'm not really used to using any other ad blocker what ad blocker are you guys using?

Thank you!

Preferrably for saving storage space and all: i directly change my device's DNS to one that is able to block ads on the go.

There are plenty, like

dns.adguard.com

My soft keys are only usable by memory in the dark. Aren't they supposed to have some backlight?
[Touch HD General] namwollem:
Don't think so!

Sorry to say that the manual doesn't mention it (as far as I can see!), and mine certainly don't illuminate! Though, it would be a nice "touch"......

what's the DIY method?

Do It Youself, you could make a script on the phone to make the key's illuminate when you use them like a phone, then you crack open your phone and add LED's under the buttons and solder them on for power and so the phone can access the LED's.

Hi

Thinking about getting P7.

Some unclear topics:

1. Is it runing warm in simple use(yt.fb,browser)?

2. Does it support tap to wake and widget to lock screen?

3.Does it have widgets on screen available for mobile data,hotspot,wifi?

4. Is its camera step up compared to others flagships?

5. Does it have adds like xiaomi has in prei stalled apps. Is there bloatware? How many gb free when just opened& booted up?

6. Any bugs?
[Google Pixel 7] Ejjskakejdndnnxnawjjd:
No don't, my p6p runs so much smoother and has double the performance due to the GPU, the Mali G710 on the p7 is more towards battery saving, but I don't see a difference in battery, 100% stay with p6 or p6p, the only upgrade you get really is software related
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
The GPU is only a slight downgrade in the P7, stop being so overdramatic. There's obviously something not okay with your 7.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
1. Is it runing warm in simple use(yt.fb,browser)? no

2. Does it support tap to wake and widget to lock screen? tap to wake yes...widget on lock screen? no

3.Does it have widgets on screen available for mobile data,hotspot,wifi? no stock widget...

4. Is its camera step up compared to others flagships? no, its stock android

5. Does it have adds like xiaomi has in prei stalled apps. Is there bloatware? How many gb free when just opened& booted up? no its stock android

6. Any bugs? not that I seen...
[Google Pixel 7] ktdt00:
I upgraded from a Pix3 so it's a lot faster with a lot better battery life for me. I use mine more like a phone, texter and email checker than a gamer or social media user and I use about 40%/24hr day.

1. Not running warm

2. Yes. No.

3. Kinda. It has widgets for settings shortcuts to these areas but not actual toggles/indicators.

4. I think the Google camera on this platform is excellent

5. No ads in preinstalled apps that I've seen but some would consider the Gapps as bloatware compared to AOSP

6. The fingerprint sensor/experience stinks! You should definitely google that before you buy if you're a big finterprint user.

[Google Pixel 7] blackhawk:
I'm not good with the CCP but both Pixel, Samsung and Gookill Android have been degrading these phones for the last 3 years.

No expandable storage, many only have 128gb internal storage and 6-8gb of ram. One member has a thread up complaining of only 4hrs SOT with their P7.

Between scoped storage, 5G and the variable refresh rate display they tanked the SOT. For what? This Note 10+ with a degraded (and smaller) battery that's do to be replaced gets more than twice that. Dual drive 500/1000gb with better color accuracy.

View attachment 5786563

It's not just Pixels that suck; Samsung's overpriced new flagships are expensive hand warmers too. If you don't care about having a variable refresh rate display and 5G, get a new or used N10+. New ones are loaded with Android 10... don't upgrade it. Security simply isn't an issue in this case. A better balanced phone with excellent build Q and a solid workhorse.

Both Google and Samsung now are more marketing hype talk than action. That's my opinion. No trophy unless you earned it.
[Google Pixel 7] dzincha:
If your phone hw is powerfull, then it will be hand warmer in winter.

Other issue is PWM, some flagships(Mi 12t as example) declare 1920 pwm, but in lab tests it is only 120hz(info from notebookcheck review).

My another option is Xiaomi 12x( good hw, not heating, pwm high, good battery stats), but not available via carrier e-shop. Xiaomi 12 powerfull hw, heating issues and also lower battery stats). Lets see how Xiaomi 13 deals with heat,pwm,etc.

I upgraded from the P6 to the P7. (I wasn't looking to upgrade, but when Google offered $479 for my P6 and the P7 was on sale for $499, it was a no brainer).

The P7 is hand down more fluid than the P6. It "feels" faster than the P6. I was actually surprised at the difference because I wasn't expecting much difference between the two.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
same feeling and the fact that its getting smaller was a no brainer for me...I upgraded from 128gb p6 to 256gb p7 for 100 bucks....It'll be crazy not to take...

I honestly thought somebody at google did some wrong math and giving peopel this crazy deal...but then again its google...they are rich enough for me not to feel bad.
[Google Pixel 7] dzincha:
In what country Google offers such deals to exhange p6-p7?
[Google Pixel 7] sic0048:
It was in the US at least. However the trade-in values have already dropped and the sale prices end 12-24-22. So while you can still get the phone on sale, you can't trade in your P6 for $479 anymore. (I just checked and Google is only offering $150 for the P6).

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dreedi:
Hello community,

I have a problem when I install a recovery : TWRP (different versions), Orange Fox, Pitch Black, etc ...

The installation works but the touch screen does not work.

I managed to install different Custom Rom with the commands :

- adb shell twrp sideload

- adb sideload ...

But it's the same problem as with the recovery, the installation works but the touch screen still does not work.

So I reinstalled via Mi Flash different official Miui ROM, Global and EEA, the touch screen works every time.

Then I tried to reinstall different recovery, custom rom, but the touch screen still doesn't work.

I also tried to install Boot.img before and after but the touch screen still does not respond.

I don't know what to do now, if someone can help me it would be really nice.

I have a recent Redmi Note 10 Pro (6GB/64GB) - M2101K6G (bought on official website)

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Try to clean flash stock ROM via PC and miflash completely from scratch and then try again the TWRP or orange fox.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dreedi:
I did a clean install via PC and Mi Flash, the result:

V12.0.3.0.RKFEUXM (EEA) : touch screen does not work

V13.0.4.0.SKFMIXM (Global) : touch screen does not work

V13.0.16.0.SKFEUXM (EEA) : touch screen works !

But when I install a recovery or a custom rom, the touch screen does not work anymore, even with V13.0.16.0.SKFEUXM (EEA)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
Xiaomi has changed the hardware and added the drivers for it in the latest Miui rom.

Because custom roms mostly are based on older roms, they haven't yet include these new drivers.

The best change you have with a fairly new custom developement.

With the app "Device Info HW" you can see which hardware and drivers you have
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dreedi:
I have tried all the latest Custom Rom :

- ProjectElixir 3.3

- Cherish 4.2

- PixelExperience 13 plus

I tried all the recovery :

- Twrp 3.7

- Twrp 3.6.2

- Orange Fox 12.1_3

- Crdroid 12 & 13

But the touch screen never works

Concerning the Device Info HW application I noticed that in General / Touchscreen : fts_ts

Is it normal?

Otherwise I do not know what to do more

Thanks for your help :)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
I think you have a FocalTech touchscreen.

@Patoilo has a sensor poll here .

However the touchscreen is missing, a single member has mentioned his touch (goodix_ts)

I have HW General: gtx8/ HW Input: goodix_ts

There must be a method to extract drivers from Miui vendor and import them inside a custom rom.

I had it once with a Redmi Note 8 (missing camera driver) and someone had made a Magisk patch for it.

View attachment 5783253
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dreedi:
If I understand correctly I lost touch screen drivers ?

Does anyone know the method to extract drivers from the official Miui ROM and import into a Custom ROM ?

Is it easy to do ?

View attachment 5783583
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Hmmm touch drivers are for hardware and this included in firmware or not?

Means flashing right fw or flashing clean stock should be enough?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
I think not, because @Dreedi tried this already.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dreedi:
Yes I did try to do clean installs but I currently have no recovery that works with the touch screen and only two ROMs that work with the touch screen :

* Miui EEA V13.0.16.0.SKFEUXM

* Xiaomi.eu V13.0.15.0.SKFMIXM

Everything else doesn't work !

I understood that it's the same problem as for some smartphone like for example the POCO F1 which has different TouchScreen Panel :

* NVT-TS

* FTS

Problem Touch Screen POCO F1

Am I the only one in this situation with the Redmi Note 10 Pro ?

Someone has a FTS-TS panel and can make the touch screen work with Customs Rom and recovery ?

Apparently I need a Kernel to fix the ghost touch ...

Thanks
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
One more idea :

Search for the vendor files of the working Roms
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
I thought the same, but latest vendor zipfiles aren't there anymore (404)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:

www.google.de
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
;) I too, but this are old zips. Latest is v13.0.4.0

The complete Miui Rom @Dreedi already tried, without results.

He needs at least a vendor of V13.0.15.0
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dreedi:
I tried the ROM V13.0.3.0 and V13.0.4.0

I also tried firmwares + vendors but without success ...

Yes indeed I need the latest vendor V13.0.15.0 or V13.0.16.0.

Otherwise a Kernel to fix this

But it does not exist yet apparently

Thanks for your help @Elinx and @Laptapper
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
Maybe yshalsager from the firmware thread can/will give some hints how to create a flashable vendor yourself.

edit:

yshalsager has given a link to "xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator" on Github.

With this Python script it is possible to create a flashable Vendor.zip
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Dreedi:
I managed to extract firmware + vendor .zip thanks to @yshalsager

When I flash fw+vendor.zip from latest official Miui ROM :

* Miui EEA V13.0.16.0.SKFEUXM

Then I flash the Custom Rom

Touchscreen still not working

(I think the seller of the custom rom takes over)

So I flash again fw+vendor.zip but I find myself in bootloop ...

Knowing that the touch screen still does not work ,

In fastboot I do :

* fastboot erase userdata

* fastboot erase cache

But still in bootloop ...

I don't know if I'm doing things right

Thanks @Elinx and @Laptapper
