[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] altifly:
Hi,

My s10e g970u is offering me good use, aound 5-6h SOT

I can't make a definitive decision about updating to 4.1 as I constantly get notification, as I fear losing battery efficiency. Is there a definitive opinion on it? Knowing that rolldown is not possible.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA.

I wouldn't. I have two N10+'s, one running on Pie the other 10. There they will stay.

Rule #1 - if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be!

Either use Package Disabler or adb edits to disable this app.

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] altifly:
I unbloated quite a few now.

Regarding this update,

wssyncmldm + soagent are the ones to disable , thank you for this usefully tip.

Now runs still smooth, around 5h SOT intense use maybe a new battery may improve this score

[Red Magic 8 pro] Mr-Zhag:
There’re some of bugs still not fix yet and the biggest bug is the device unable to lock, which mean you will lost screen password and fingerprint function.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tknguyencsu@gmail.com:

the bottom of the screen give me the following messages:

ERROR recovery: Failed to load bitmap fastbootd (error -1)

ERROR recovery: Failed to load bitmap een/cant_find_OTG_en (error -1)
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
did you flash to chinese rom first? because its say to downgrade to 2.26 china rom before flash. upload is @80% almost :]
[Red Magic 8 pro] Titobibo:
Yes. My phone in 2.26 chinese rom.
[Red Magic 8 pro] batargin:
And how did you buy it?
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
this is text to install it. did you delete your accounts and patterns?.

Translated To english.

Precautions (be sure to read before brushing)

1. The pattern password cannot be set (due to the particularity of the Red Magic system, it is necessary to clear the Red Magic lock screen password before swiping and enter the fingerprint to solve it), if this problem has already occurred,

Brush the latest version of the 229 package (you can find it in Kuan), then lock it back, go to the official website to download a 226 package, and then go to the mobile phone system update to find a local update, select the downloaded 226 package to downgrade,

After downgrading, go to re-unlock and brush MIUI to solve the problem! (Remember not to log in to your Nubia account or set a lock screen password during this period)

2. If the brightness suddenly becomes low, please uninstall modules such as refresh rate switching, which has nothing to do with rom

3. If it fails to charge (please check whether the bypass charging is turned on)

Instal on Website From forum.

Note: Make sure that the phone has unlocked the Bootloader, and have mastered the process of flashing and saving bricks on the device. You can experience it after booting the ROM. Be sure to activate the system within 30 minutes. After activation, you can enjoy later version maintenance and upgrades. One-time payment is voluntary. , there is no additional charge for subsequent updates and maintenance, and the system will automatically format after 30 minutes without activation. The first version is the Win one-key line brush package.

Synchronize the latest stable version of MIUI14 to build the initial version based on Android13.
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
nope its free you can only download trought phone and not pc.
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
you need to install lastest update then downgrade back to 2.26
[Red Magic 8 pro] Titobibo:
Yes. I removed screenlock after flash 2.26 cn rom.
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:
i dont installed atm because i want to know how to install safe that why i upload it somebody can help me with it. try to fix you phone with rebricker.

[Red Magic 8 pro] Titobibo:
Now, I will try relock bootloader. Local update 2.26 CN firmware and try reflash this rom.
[Red Magic 8 pro] ibestmoder:

[Red Magic 8 pro] Titobibo:
You can try flash this rom. It looks so easy.
[Red Magic 8 pro] edzchen:
Just wanted to remind you guys to check out this video, it shows the entire flashing process.

Unfortunately, I only have my 8 pro as my daily driver so I cant risk trying this ROM out unless I know for sure I can get it working
[Red Magic 8 pro] danwangguoqu:
Hello, I am the developer of this ROM. This is the Chinese version of the ROM, and I do not recommend that you install it. It can only be used for 30 minutes, unless you donate to me within the ROM. Currently, Paypal is not supported. Of course, if you really want to install it, I will consider releasing a global version of the ROM.

Hi,

i have to send my x1 back as it has the cracking problem:(:(:(

What is the best software to back up my phone???
[XPERIA X1 General] maedox:
I'm using Spb Backup and it's working fine. (Have tested restore too of course.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
thanks

backing up now;)
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
does the backup store my phone contacts?
[XPERIA X1 General] kuztardd:
Ive heard of spb back up too..

What does it back up, and what does it not back up?
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
i know it backsup, all programs, emails, sms/mms and settings. not sure about contacts:)
[XPERIA X1 General] maedox:
You know, I'm not really sure it backs up contacts. It does not say in the menus and I can't find an option for it. I'm synchronizing with Outlook anyways, so I just need Spb backup for all installed programs and settings/tweaks.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
just looked at the vid on spb website, i think it does save contacts too. but dont hold me to it:p
[XPERIA X1 General] sheen7334:
PPCPimBackup - very nice utility - simple and complete
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
Spb Backup is what I have been using for years. It backs up ALL data. From Contacts to Setting.

I always make a new backup before I install anything!!

So if something goes wrong... Hard-Boot, the run the latest backup!!

The back file is an .exe, so you only need to run it. It will ask you if you want to do a Full recovery or custom!

So I am back how Exactly how it was before!!

Works great!

[XPERIA X1 General] norti:
Sprite Backup and SPB Backup both work fine for the X1.

[General Topics] JehandadK:
So I bought second hand device with non default ROM already installed on it. How can I verify with absolute certaitnity that dont have unwanted malware on it. Or it is not compromised. The device is rooted and I dont mind doing a Reset. Perhaps at that stage I need to check MD5 hashes of somethings?

Would that be enough?

The device in question is Redmi Note and it has Global ROM installed on it. But I was wondering it as a general purpose question.
[General Topics] SigmundDroid:
Much worse is the wanted malware, Whatsapp, Discord and alike :giggle:

Joking aside, even if you have the orginal ROM and its checksum, one could only confirm it matches. And it would still be far too big for a scan in

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload

Some years ago I was also pretty fond of cheap china phones and the easiest way was to extract all apps (best after fresh install) by help of

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-2-2-mixplorer-v6-x-released-fully-featured-file-manager.1523691/

and drop them into virustotal (one can zip them into bigger packs).
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] sso003:
Since the Lenovo Legion Y70 doesn't have it's own section, I'm posting this here.

The Legion Y70 unfortunately doesn't have a global rom, only CN. Luckily, it ships with the bootloader unlockable straight out of the box. I've tested several GSIs listed here, and they all work! This phone is great value considering the high end specs, so it's great to know we can install customs roms on it.

No hardware issues aside from adaptive brightness; doesn't work because the GSIs are missing the device overlay.

vndklite images do not boot! Just the ARM64-ab images boot (non-vndklite).

I've tested the following GSIs:

Lineage 20 (Andy Yan)

PHHusson Android 12.1

TrebleDroid 13

Pixel Experience

All working with some bugs. Namely SMS and phone calls randomly stop working! :cowboy:
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Ice.Tea:
Does bypass charging works?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] sso003:
Unfortunately no, there is no option for it in the GSI rom.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] CatMatrix:

alse working great :)
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] CatMatrix:

[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] kai1411:
I think this phone deserves its own section for easy communication because the foreign community about this phone is quite small. Also, I cannot find any guide or tips so would be great if someone put a tutorial to guide some newbies like me on how to install new ROM or other amazing stuff. Btw, I tried to unlock my Lenovo legion y70 by enabling OEM unlocking in the developer setting and trying to access fast boot but I saw that my phone state is still locked, not sure why. This phone is high value and has good specs so I'd love to see if the global community can grow bigger
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] sso003:
checking the OEM unlocking option simply allows you to unlock the bootloader.

To actually unlock it, you need to do so via fastboot:

1. Restart the phone into Fastboot mode via the command: adb reboot fastboot. You should now be in fastbootd mode.

2. Type command: fastboot flashing unlock

3. Then type command: fastboot flash unlock_critical
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] panchozevada:
Is there a way to create a section for this phone? I hope we can install stable roms to get the most out of the device
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] yulanz:
I've tried Lineage 20 (Andy Yan) & evolution X, both of them can't receive texts. Everything else works great.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] dieuluucanh:
oh thanks, this issue is what I am searching for, thought that's because of hardware issue. I am using Pixel Experience plus, phone not receving SMS text but somehow it received in bunch then not anymore.

If anyone know how to fix this, please kindly advise.

Thank you
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] rosalemleo:
Hi, what version of pixel experience plus are you using?

I looked on the official website and didn't find anything about the lenovo Y70...

Could you describe step by step how you installed this rom?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] dieuluucanh:
Hi, I am using the latest version of PE GSI rom here: https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases

There is no official Custom ROM for Y70, however, we can use GSI Rom for any Treble compatible device.

These are my notes for step-by-step installation, do it at your own risk:

Install GSI Rom: Copy GSI rom (only use vanila arm64-ab version) file to “platform tools” folder and rename to “system”:

./fastboot reboot fastboot

Then, enter Fastbootd mode on phone (by pressing power off + Vol down)

./fastboot flash system system.img

./fastboot -w

./fastboot reboot
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] dieuluucanh:
Is there anyone using GSI ROM on Y70 can receive SMS text?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] sso003:
I also have this issue. I'm able to send SMS text messages, but not receive them. This was an issue with Android 10 GSIs, thought it was fixed... Looks like it's still an issue.

I'm trying to find what the solution was for those who had this problem before on other phones.

I tried PHH Treble settings --> IMS features --> Install IMS APK for Qualcomm S+ vendor and request IMS network options but neither work.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] dieuluucanh:
after trying endless scenarios, I can conclude this issue is related to LTE.

I have to reset network and check if 3G is enabled instead of LTE, then rebooting. The flaws are that I cannot use LTE and this solution only work for 2nd sim slot :(
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] EdDouglas:
Does it work on legion 2 pro?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] sso003:
Can confirm receiving text messages is now working. I did the following (same fix as other phones on GSI)

I don't know what fixed it exactly, it's possible only 1 of the below actions fixed it:

1. put my sim card in tray 2 instead of 1

2. In settings --> PHH Treble settings --> IMS Features --> Create IMS APN

3. In settings --> PHH Treble settings --> IMS Features --> Install IMS APK. Click it, then install the downloaded APK

4. In settings --> PHH Treble settings --> IMS Features --> Check Request IMS Network

5. In settings --> Network and Internet --> SIMs --> Preferred network type: 3G

Reboot

After doing the above, SMS text messaging is now working both sending and receiving.

As mentioned, it's possible only 1 of the above settings fixed it but now that it's working, I don't want to change anything because I'm using it as my daily driver.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] project_2501:
What about the previous topic? Were you able to unlock the bootloader?
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Black4ng3L:
Oh. I'm busy right now and I'm not done yet to back up all of my files. I will update here immediately if I successfully unlocked my bootloader thru official method. Thanks.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Black4ng3L:
Badly need to email again the CS_GM of Lenovo. The Serial Not Match

EDITED:

I try 2 serial numbers.

EXAMPLE this is my SERIAL NUMBER MXR6LGUBWT

I submitted this serial number in zui unlock website : MXR6LGUB

and I submitted the 2nd serial number too : R6LGUBWT

Both still not matched.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] project_2501:
@Black4ng3L ,

Did you buy your Y70 new or used? Do you have issues making phone calls and sending texts? I had the same issue with a first gen. duel. There is an alternative but the serial numbers will need changed, and it's the difficult way I was describing using the partitons that were backed up from your current build. I think ZUI is just going the ASUS route or there is a bug with their unlock server (unlikely).
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Black4ng3L:
I bought this from online store. Brand new. From the latest update I didn't encounter any issues in phone calls and sending texts.

Hello fellow friend, "Corrupted device" NO LONGER This guide is targetted at those who like me, locked their bootloader and got the message : "corrupted device blabla" And are desperate as Lenovo doesn't answer when we ask for the unlock file...

xdaforums.com

I can go to EDL MODE but when I click PARTITION MANAGER always shows SAHARA FAIL. I don't know why. I think this is from the latest update of ZUI 15.0.375.

The problem I encounter is only the ALARM & AFTER CALL bug. When the alarm starts and when you turn off it. It will blink a second to black screen and will go back to LOCKSCREEN. You can't unlock it if you don't use FINGERPRINT. Same on AFTER CALL bug.

Unfortunately the lenovo cs didn't reply me. I use the sn.img from lenovo but it works when I edited my phone serial number to 8 digits.

How were you able to edit the serial #'s? From the Tab Pro guide (fpinfo)? Did you perform an actual unlock with the command: fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock-go ?

Nope. It directly unlock when I enter " FASTBOOT FLASH UNLOCK SN.IMG "

I just follow the guide. I use hex editor to edit the .bin format of fpinfo and load it. I will send a screenshot/video tomorrow of how I edit my serial number.

Put preferred sim to 2nd tray

Uninstall PHH IMS pak (if installed previously) by going into file manager app -> app -> uninstall aurora.ims

Deselect all options in PHH IMS section (if selected previously)

Reset APN (if create PHH APN previously)

Dial to Engineering mode (*#*#4636#*#*)-> Phone information ->

[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] barracuda3541:
I tried flashing magisk after installing and I tried flashing magisk on the gsi.img file but neither work. Just wondering how you went about getting magisk working.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] sso003:
I used the official instructions on the Magisk Github:

Installation

The Magic Mask for Android

topjohnwu.github.io

The device has a ramdisk (boot.img) and seperate vbmeta.img file . So I used the boot.img file, got a patched boot.img file via the magisk app, and flashed the patched boot.img file via fastboot flash boot. Was very straightforward. Didn't bother patching vbmeta as the root already worked without (it's listed as optional in the installation instructions).
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] barracuda3541:
Alright thanks, I'll give that a try.
