Thank you, BB, for the clear explanations about respecting the structure of the partitions and not messing directly with the boot partition using a modified img.

Do I need to reach the conclusion that my phone is broken forever and there is nothing I can do to fix it?

I thought that as long as I reach the recovery mode, I can still fix it.

If you have a brilliant solution just as brilliant as your teaching, could you please help me restoring my phone to a functional state?

And BTW, it was a TRIPLE FLAW, because I had a wonderful lineageos 19 working like a charm with GAPS and I just wanted to root it for no reason.

Many thanks for your efforts.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Prant:
Damn. Nice to know Lineage works well on this phone with extensive tweaking. GSI's can be pretty unstable from what I've seen, missing cell reception and the like.

Yeah, flashing that image killed the phone. I've seen some people recover by flipping their boot slot to the other one and forcing the phone to boot the stock boot there. But if you've flashed to both slots, you're most likely SOL and need a MSM flash. In which case, you could try flashing the complete stock boot image for your OOS version you were on before moving to GSI to both slots as sort of a last resort, but even then I've only seen minimal success.

I tried all the commands you showed, but I keep going back to this error:

THANKS TO THIS POST:

https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-oppo-realme-flash-ofp-file-on-bootloader.4399189/

WHICH BROUGHT ME BACK TO FASTBOOTD

AND FROM THERE I USED FASTBOOT ENHANCED AND FLASHED PAYLOAD.BIN

AND MY PHONE IS BACK EXACTLY AS IT WAS WHEN I PURCHASED IT

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the reasons why I decided to wipe this stupid oxygen os is because they limited my notifications to 5 seconds WTF ?!!

I didn't mention that I have previously bricked my first OnePlus 10 pro completely, so much so that I received a new one from the provider.

I flashed it successfully using Lineageos 19 and brickED it again trying to root it.

Now, I'll be looking for a solution to remove this stupid f%#$%# limit for Whatsapp notification. Any suggestion?

And I'll wait for an advanced modified ROM for OnePlus 10 PRO.

That's true that it worked very well using Lineageos 19, but text/sms didn't work and I saw that ROAMING was greyed out, so I cannot say if it works or not.

A BIG THANK TO ANYBODY WHO TRIED TO HELP ME.

BOTTOM LINE, ALWAYS HELP YOURSELF FIRST AND NEVER GIVE UP.

I spent over 100 hours on this phone, and here I am back from scratch, but at least with a WORKING PHONE.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] yedashare:
THIS WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE !

After I thought everything was back, I noticed that the battery stopped charging.

I flashed again Lineageos and it worked but yet the battery didn't charge.

I re run the python script but this time using another OFP and it showed successful.

And yet it successfully killed my phone. Completely dead for the second time.

Hundreds of $ and of hours for a F^&& phone.

Huge lesson to learn here about choices.

[OnePlus 10 Pro] TuLy2702:

[OnePlus 10 Pro] Prant:
Damn. I think what happened is you lost your persist.img when initially flashing the first ofp, that thing controls low level stuff like fingerprint unlock and charger cable auth I've seen on these forums. I'm not sure there's a way to get it back either outside of a MSM Flash, certainly haven't seen one here.

It's okay to spend a little money. It's very risky to do it yourself

Did you managed to get fingerprint working on gsi ?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] yedashare:
When I started lineageos it ran the wizard for fingerprint but I didn't run it so I cannot tell you for sure that it would have worked.

Besides this I could call, receive call and use location, sound and camera worked just fine, and mostly for me GAPS was working 100 %.

First time I purchased a ONEPLUS phone and last time.

So far I've been working with Xiaomi and for me, they are the cheapest and the best phones. I still have my PocoF2 that I repaired.

My phone is my office, no more OnePlus ever in my office !!!

[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
Hello,

My first post here. Have been searching the answers to my questions for a couple of days with no luck.

Recently obtained a new smartphone and it required to check some check-boxes, giving my consent to their terms. Unless you agree you cannot proceed to turning on and using the device. When I read the User Agreement and Privacy Notice that I had to sign, I was astonished! Reading through this fairly long agreements, they have covered pretty much anything you can think of, I was getting the feeling that I had obtained a bomb and not a mobile device. A couple of things that shocked me most:

"(E) You grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license to use and reproduce your User Generated Content to the extent necessary to provide the services associated with OPPO Phones and OPPO Software and any our other products and services."

"5.3 You acknowledge that we may, but have no obligation to, pre-screen, review, filter, modify, refuse, label, monitor or otherwise moderate any Third Party Content or User Generated Content or any part thereof, or to remove it from your OPPO Phone."

Am I reading it right? Is it a spy that I have obtained? It's not enough that they can monitor my own generated content on my own device, but they also want me to grant them the legal permission to moderate, alter and remove the content from my device?!

My questions:

1. Is it at all legal to do this? I guess that if you sign for it then it is supposed to be legal

2. How do they do it technically? Do they create backdoors in their devices to provide access?

3. How can we protect ourselves (yet using the device)? I had thought that a custom ROM (LineageOS or other) would do the job, but haven't found one for this device.

I hope that I am not the first one reading and paying attention to small letters.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Arealhooman:
1. It’s legal

2. They do not create any backdoors(we know of). They simply want to cover anything and everything in the terms.

1. Thought so

2. I can see their point in trying to cover themselves from anything, but if they are clearly stating that they have the right to remove content from my device, doesn't it mean that they have the corresponding means for doing this?

3. I guess no one expects a 100% protection, but at least knowing that you're not 100% prone to external activity on your device...

The CCP comes embedded in all Chinese phones🤣

Sounds like a raw deal to me. First thing to do is disable all manufacturer, app and carrier feedback. Then firewall lock it down. If an app doesn't intrinsically need (ie browser, cloud based etc) it doesn't need internet access.

That EULA is worse than the Samsung Bixby EULA, and that one is bad enough that I won't enable it. Wearables is pretty invasive too, I firewall blocked it after activated.
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
I don't think there is a way to explicitly disable each App's internet access in the stock ROM. Or did you mean using a firewall for that?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Yeah a firewall. Stops unwanted updates too.

Man's best friend.

View attachment 5779833
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
OK, thanks for that. Actually never used a firewall on mobile device, let alone mobile - all I have on my PC is the Windows Defender. Years ago used to have antivirus and firewall programs, till eventually got pissed of them being like a virus themselves :ROFLMAO:

Anyway, sounds like a must have and my best bet on a smartphone.

Yet, will ask it again: if they are clearly stating that they have the right to remove content from my device, doesn't it mean that they have the corresponding means for doing this? By that I mean, don't they have some hardcoded means in their stock ROM of accessing the device and no matter you blocking all apps?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
That's an insane EULA. It sounds more like Facebook's EULA🤣
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
So you think there is no way to get protected from their intruding my device if keep using their stock ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] Arealhooman:
I believe they do not have any back doors.
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
Would love to believe this. Otherwise it's scary
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Don't know. I have zero trust in any device from China with internet capability. China is the biggest and most unscrupulous data miner on the planet. That EULA only reinforces my distrust.

Backdoors; are just that and well designed embedded hardware ones are for all practical purposes undetectable until used. Can be designed into the SOC, who's going to find it? Any Chinese company has plenty of motive to do this if ordered to do so by the CCP.
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
That's true for sure, they are indeed the biggest, obsessive data miner.
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
Without too much understanding, I reckon that a custom ROM would render even a hardware embedded backdoor useless.

Out of curiosity, googled Apple's EULA - it is as simple as mere 548 pages! The Chinese EULA can at least be read. Who has the ability to read Apple's?! Anything could be in there and no one will find.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Not necessarily. If present and undetected, no one would know it's trigger.

Lol, I loathe Apple. Their close ties to China makes them evil.
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
Even if present and undetected, if you wipe the software that should have sent it, then it couldn't work, I believe.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Since they are the ones designing the hardware they would choose a circuit path to use that could be triggered regardless of the firmware. Maybe in the modem section of the SOC.
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
Still being not an expert, I don't see how a piece of hardware could perform tasks without a firmware programmed specifically to tell it what to do. Even if the hardware is hardcoded to transmit specific folders or files, I believe that if you change firmware the folder names and paths could change which would confuse the "transmitter".
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
SOC; system on a chip. Its a triple canopy jungle of logic gates to hide a backdoor in. The only reliable protection is not to use it.

What's the firewall you're using, by the way?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Karma Firewall but it only is fully functional on Android 9 or lower. Karma uses almost no battery, is simple and gets it done.

No logging feature on Android 10 though so eventually when I start using that device more... maybe Netguard. Not sure.
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
Thanks for the detailed info. Will look into it.
[General Questions and Answers] ZXR:
I do not expect functions like this to be hardcoded. Why? Because it is not necessary.

The large majority does not care about what you found in the EULA and what in addition is sent.

We are just a small minority setting up the devices offline and then using xPrivacyLua, AFWall or Netguard. Most likely we are not worth the extra effort, because they get so much data from the other users.

Even if there are few that are aware of spying, many just say "I have nothing to hide".
[General Questions and Answers] dsef13:
Excellent point! Didn't think of it this way, although almost everyone around keep saying just that - "I have nothing to hide", "I am not a criminal" etc.

Still wonder then regarding my original post in this thread, with the quotes from the EULA: why do they mention and most importantly, how are they going to "monitor" and and "remove" content from my device?
[General Questions and Answers] wenyendev:
It depends

1. if it is confined by the relevant law;

2. if so, whether the law is properly enforced.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You need to think like your enemy.

The reason(s) for a hardware backdoor(s) could far more nefarious than data collection. Communication infrastructure is a primary first target in a war.

When I told people about large smart cam networks in US cities 15 years ago, most didn't believe me or what their capabilities were even back then. That's you they are watching, recording with real time indexing and face/object/action recognition in a network that can span an unlimited number of fixed cams😎😳

Yes, well... one of our weaknesses is obvious now as most dependent on cell phones. It be foolish of an enemy not to exploit it fully... especially when it's so easy to do.

Delete all partitions and create only one ntfs.

I suppose the method of installation you have done was wrong, CLEAN install the W11 using NTFS, when there's question asking to select partition when installation screen, delete all drive including RESERVED bla bla bla .. make sure there's only 1 drive while installing W11 ..

the rest of the standard partition and folders will be created automatically, do post the new screenshot after you have done those .. :)​

I have a Russian (thanks Amazon !!) Redmi 9a 32Gb/2gb. It is currently running latest 12.0.x ROM version, but i would like to upgrade it to 12.5.

I see on xiaomi ROM site there is currently a 12.5.x version for Russian version, but the OTA never arrived and if i download the recovery zip file and install it manually, it fails verification and stops.

Is there a way to install 12.5 without unlocking the bootloader ?

[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] Ivan.Adriazola:
mmm... spflashtool might work, but Ive only ever used it on a bircked device to unbrick it, never on a functional device to just change the ROM version, but if you really wanna do it without unlocking bootloader thats your best choice.

I will say anyway, its probably safer to unlock bootloader install recovery and install the rom from there, its your call tho.

Thanks

Right now I cannot unlock the bootloader, maybe in the next months I might try (I want to wait for the warranty to expire). My concern is that my version of Redmi 9A with just 2G of Ram is actually not compatible with MIUI 12.5. The 12.5 rom is actually available, but OTA will leave me in the 12.0 branch and verification fails if I try to install the ROM manually. I would not want to brick it by installing an unsupported ROM.
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] Ivan.Adriazola:
My phone model is M2006C3LG and the ROM I have right now says I have 1.8Gb of available RAM, I don't think you have a different device from mine.

Im a total n00b so I may be wrong about this next thing, but, I think the only difference is what version of MIUI they were sold with since the hardware doesn't allow downgrades further than the stock ROM that came with the device.

There is always antirollback after MIUI 10, but I think its even further locked for the original stock ROM that came to the device, but yeah, this is all my own speculation due to a bricking incident I faced.
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] enryfox:
The model number is the same, but the 9A was available with different sizes of RAM 2 or 3 or 4 Gb. Mine is the low end 32/2 which is the model still on sale today. If you still have 1.8 Gb of free RAM you very likely has the 3 or 4 GB model.

Maybe you are right, the OTA allows only for updates within the same MIUi version; I saw several guides on-line and i think i will try the miflash tool and switch to the global version. I have to find a way to unlock bootloader without Xiaomi account (no way in hell I'm signing up for that) and without sim card (this phone is used as a smaller wi-fi only tablet). There are some tools for an offline unlock, I will try those first.

It is incredible how Xiaomi is making it complex just to update to a stable official ROM; given also how much bloatware is shovelled with the stock ROM, I'm not sure I will ever consider Xiaomi again.

[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] enryfox:
Thanks for the info. So you upgraded to latest 12.0 without moving to 12.5, any reason for not trying 12.5 ? The phone is currently barely usable with Android 10, maybe Android 11 is even heavier, but why not give it a try ?

I saw several youtube videos and guides and by using MI Flash with a Fastboot image (scattered tgz) it should be a total reflash of the phone.
