Does it work on XZ2 Compact? I'm currently running on Project Sakura (based of Lineage OS 18) with Lineage OS Recovery :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cuynu:
not, only xz2
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] allan hilmy:
Can it be used for lineageos 20 roms
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cuynu:
yes, and also all custom roms based on stock (not for cherishos)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DrTrax:
BAM did it! OrangeFox on XZ2C aka apollo!

TL;DR;

1. Mod OrangeFox to be installed by apollo,xz2c,h8324 recovery

2. Mod every apollo,xz2c,h8324 ZIP to be installed on akari because OrangeFox doesn't know 😅

3. To prevent loosing OrangeFox, flash the AKARI OrangeFox over to patch boot.img
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cuynu:
I don't think it work 💀
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DrTrax:
Works on me fine ^^ Just a OrangeFox Recovery is needed where akari is replaced with xz2c or apollo or h8324 ...

I dunno how to do nor compile one by myself :(

okay thanks i was a bit confused at that time
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] XceleratedGamer:
Touch screen is not working in this recovery on XZ3 H8416
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cuynu:
you must use kernel of custom rom, or flash twrp to boot partition then flash zip on twrp
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] XceleratedGamer:
"2. Boot to TWRP or LineageOS recovery"

You said that it would also work with lineage recovery.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cuynu:
well i dont have xz3 to test it, i'll try fix for xz3 later
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] project_2501:
The recovery image is missing padding for the partition (origsize is 64mb) and should be generated to fill the partition considering dynamic partitions are not being utilized currently.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] arnaubvendrell:
Just for you to know, touch screen is also not working on a XZ2Compact. I have not tried this workaround, maybe I do later.

Edit: Yes, the workaround does also work on the XZ2C. Installed over crDroid with it's recovery and now touchscreen works.

Everybody knows that after upgrading to C_07, we lost access to mtkclient, root, and many more, and Oneplus support sucks.

So, this guide will help you go back to Android 11 and back to root.

This rollback install will wipe all your data, so make a backup first. I did it on my own device and took the risk of bricking it, and I did it once because I'm not nuts to do it again. Only do it if you are comfortable. I'm not responsible for any damage to your device.

I was on C_10 (Android 12) and downloaded the rollback package for Android 13 from https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1267587167833030657 (I posted the links from the source below because Oneplus has the bad habit of removing the links). Download the appropriate file to your device. If you don't know, you have to download all three and try them.

Links:

ROM IN: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/11011_oplus_ota_downgrade.zip

ROM EU: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/21342_Beta1__downgrade_ota_CPH2409.zip

ROM GLO: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/21342_Beta1__downgrade_ota_CPH2409_10100111.zip

Go to update, and if you do not see the local install, you need to go to the build number and click seven times to enable developer options.

After downloading, rename the file to oplus_ota_downgrade.zip. Go to update, select local update, and install this package. When the install finishes, the device will reboot and will be wiped. After that, you need to configure your device. At this time, the device will be on C_09.

Go to update, and a third option will be available, the option to join the beta or something like that. Click on that, and after requesting to join the beta test, go back and click again on update, and a new update to (Android 13) F.45 will show if I remember correctly. Once done, download the rollback package to Android 11, available on https://www.droidwin.com/downgrade-oneplus-nord-ce-2-from-android-12-to-android-11/.

ROM IN: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/oplus_ota_downgrade_Rollback.zip

ROM EU: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/oplus_ota_downgrade_Rollback_EEA.zip

ROM GLO: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/oplus_ota_downgrade_Rollback_GLO.zip

Remember to rename it to oplus_ota_downgrade.zip. Go to update, select local install, and choose the zip file. After applying this update (which will take more time than before, it looks like it's broken at 94%, but just wait), the device will be wiped again. Done with the setup again (now you are on A_13 Android 11), power off the device, and press Vol- and Power, and you will have access to fastboot. Yes, now we have fastboot back! On a computer, plug in your device (supposedly, you had installed drivers before).

Execute:

fastboot devices

And, if it returns something like this: SOMERANDOMCARACTERS(Serial number of your device) fastboot

Execute:

fastboot flash preloader preloader_oplus6877.bin (this preloader is attached to this post).

And you're done! Now you can use mtkclient again. Just remember not to update your device until we find a way to keep the preloader vulnerable to the mtkclient exploit.

Thank you so much for posting this! :)
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] k.whatamidoing:
Hi @brunowm perfect guide... and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as I am not an expert on these things and I only want to rollback to Android 11... few (perhaps silly) questions (I am in android 12 build number IV2201_11_C. 10) at the moment:

- do i need to be connected to wifi when doing these operations?

- What am i doing wrong that sometimes goes to "safe mode" and I can't get it out from there at all, only by trying to install the rollback (which fails, look next).

- I wish to understand better why when I try directly to install this: oplus_ota_downgrade_Rollback_EEA.zip (your second set of links) it starts installing but stops at 16%, then reboots and says that the update failed. Is it because of missing the beta installation that you pointed first?

- However, I tried with the beta file (21342_Beta1__downgrade_ota_CPH2409.zip) but the verification fails.... it says that package is not compatible with your system ... could this be because I am in Android 12 and this is the rollback from Android 13? Nonetheless you do mention this situation, so I am a bit confused :-(

- Also, it seems that one of those downgrade.zip files helps you to downgrade first from 12.1 to 12. This file is verified, recognized but similarily to the one that goes from 12-->11 it stops at 16%, reboots and then it shows message that it failed...

I'm really desperate so, any light at the end of the tunnel is highly appreciated!

ps.

- is there any possibility to rollback to earlier oxygen versions for example 1.2 or so?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] k.whatamidoing:
Very quick question, do you think now is possible to downgrade this device from Android 12 ->11?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] brunowm:
Hi, you have renamed the downloaded file 21342_beta1__downgrade_ota_cph2409.zip to oplus_ota_downgrade.zip ? It's better doing with internet (wifi or 5G) off. After this install you will be able to update to Android 13 and from this version (F_45) you can rollback to Android 11
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Atest117:
Hey @brunowm, I followed your first step and was able to roll back to C_09. However, there are no available beta programs to update my phone to Android 13. Should I bite the bullet and proceed with step 2 or is there a known issue that the second step will not work with Android 12?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] Atest117:
Hi, I just wanted to give an update @brunowm . I was able to downgrade the OS to C_09 from C_10, by following your first step. However, the option to join the beta program is not available to me, hence I cannot join the Android 13 beta yet.

I can't execute your second package since I am experiencing the same issue as @k.whatamidoing where the downgrade terminates at 16%.

Do you have any idea if there is any criteria I need to meet for joining the beta program? I have already enabled developers option.
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] brunowm:
You have enabled developer mode ?

I don't know but maybe with only avaliable for indian rom version.
[Android Auto General] YgorTN:
Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Xiaomi 12T Pro and Android Auto. I've been using Android Auto wirelessly via Bluetooth on my KIA CEED 2023 MY(wireless support) for the past three weeks without any issues. I even updated my phone to Android 13 and MIUI 14 about 2 weeks ago, and everything still worked fine.

However, couple days ago when I was driving my car, Android Auto suddenly stopped working during my drive. Since then, I've tried factory reset of my KIA infotainment system, network setting reset, unpairing and repairing Bluetooth, and even installing the latest version of the AA mirror apk. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the current version of AA from Google Play, but I still can't connect to Android Auto wirelessly and the only error message is during the attempt of connecting: "The phone is not responding. Try it again".

The connection with a cable works fine. I tried 3 other phones on my car - all work. I tried to connect my Xiaomi 12T Pro to a different car and I have the same problem as on my Kia.

Even Android Auto support seems to be helpless. I shared with them a bug report, tried some suggested setups, but nothing works..

Does anybody have any ideas or have same experience?
[Android Auto General] pablomzn93:
Hello, the same thing happens to me with the carplay of my mercedes benz. And driving seems to disconnect my Xiaomi 12T PRO. I still don't have a solution from the manufacturer Xiami or the manufacturer of the carplay module. Is there anyone who can help us?
[Android Auto General] moralesnery:
First of all, make sure you have the latest available firmware for your headunit. I don't know where you live but in some regions the Kia and Hyundai headunits can be upgraded by using the Kia Navigation Update application and a spare USB thumbdrive.

This said, I've had similar issues in a Kia Rio when using Android Auto wirelessly:

* Make sure the hour and date are set correctly in your headunit. Sometimes the headunit craps itself while trying to get the GPS hour and it sets incorrectly, wich causes conectivity issues with Android Auto

* Make sure your phone is not connected to any other bluetooth device before connecting to the headunit. I have a couple Xiaomi phones and neither of them is able to use Wireless Android Auto if they're connected to a wireless headphones, a laptop or a smartwatch. I don't understand why this happens but only happens with Xiaomi phones.

* MIUI has a battery optimization feature wich kills some apps and background services to save energy. Even if you disable it for some of your apps, sometimes a MIUI update will override this and cause problems. Make sure Android Auto, Google Maps, your music app and your messaging apps are excluded from the battery saver features, and make sure Google Maps has the location permission set to "all the time".

* Unpair your phone from the headunit and sync it again.

* Go to Android Auto settings (in your phone) and make sure that Wireless Android Auto toggle is enabled. Disable the Android Auto's developer mode if it's enabled.

* Factory reset the headunit and try to sync your phone again. The first time you sync the phone, do it with the USB cable.
[Android Auto General] Elrathias:
Turn off power saving settings clear cache when locked & disable mobile data when locked

then Check battery saving settings for android auto app and system service. Also turn off miui memory optimization, just because. It always fcks up background processes at little gain to the user.

Edit: apparently most of these settings are gone in MIUI14.0.5 global rom/Android 13
[Android Auto General] YgorTN:
Thanks for your advice guys. Meantime, I did a factory reset, and since then everything works fine.
[Android Auto General] yuukiw:
ALas its a miui bug known since ages. If the device for whatever reason losses connection to the mobile network the devs somehow made sure the device disconnnects any Wifi connection. Hence AA stopping working.

Want to test tthis?

Simply deactivate mobile data on your phone and activate it again.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
It has been fixed in n miui 14.

What resolution do the caller images have? So i can start converting my photos.

In the TV Series "Knight Rider (2008)" the Xperia displayed the caller photo in full 800 x 480 but i guess that was just a trick for the TV show if you think the photos are to small...

Pictures are not just small but all are blurry.

Any ideas?????

[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] zim0369:
I was using LineageOS on my Xiaomi Redmi 7. I wanted to give my device for a phone exchange so wanted to install the stock ROM. I erased my device completely using twrp. Then I started installing the stock ROM using MiFlashTool. I chose the `clean & lock` option. The flashing process failed. My phone started showing `System destroyed...`. I suspect that this is a hard brick caused by the use of `clean & lock` option, which might've locked my bootloader. I cannot flash the orangefox recovery.

I have acces to fastboot mode but when I ran:

fastboot oem unlock

shows:

fastboot oem unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Token verification failed, reboot the device')
fastboot: error: Command failed

&

fastboot flash recovery orangefox.img

too shows a similar error

I tried using "Franseco Yates - XiaomiTool-V2" in which I chose the "unbrick" option and proceeded. I have forgotten my Mi Account ID. Although, I have my phone number & Email, it wouldn't send me the code on my phone number. So I couldn't sign in as I've also forgotten my password to my Mi Account.

Is there any method to fix this? Hopefully an unpaid one?
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] alecxs:
you have tagged that question EDL so you already know the answer. on locked bootloader you can flash only in EDL mode. try one of these commands.

fastboot oem edl
fastboot reboot-edl

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-tool-...tboot-no-more-test-point-method-kenzo.3398718

then install the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Driver and flash with MiFlash or XiaomiTool-V2
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] zim0369:
Even EDL didn't work for me. It can now only be done with an authorised account. Mi stores are asking for 450 rupees to fix it. It is still a cheap repair. But I bought a new phone so idc anymore.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Cpt Dingus:
Hey there, I am intending to get a replacement battery for my S20 ultra, I have found the brand X-Longer to be providing rather cheap aftermarket replacement batteries for it. Does anyone have any experience with this company? All I can find about them are reviews for their external batteries.

Before anyone asks, I *can* get an OEM battery, but for twice the price. The particular model I am referring to is `EB-BG988ABY 4900mAh HQ`.

Apologies of this breaks any post rules or something, this is my first time posting here. Appreciate any responses beforehand.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA.

Get OEM if possible. The newer the manufactured date the better.

Be very careful removing the battery; don't damage the display. Use a -small- amount of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol to loosen the adhesive strips as needed.

Replace the rear cover seal with a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] GameBreaker711:
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy a03s from T-Mobile about a week ago. I tried to turn on bedtime mode yesterday but it's not in my settings or my Clock app. I also don't have Bixby on my phone (not complaining but still worth mentioning). Any way I could fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] Donutislav:
What android version do you have? If its android 11 - 12 it should be in Clock app in Alarms section. If its android 13 then it should be in Modes And Routines, which you can find in settings or once again in Clock app.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] GameBreaker711:
So I just found out for some reason it's bundled in a separate app in the Galaxy Store, one called '[T OS] Modes and Routines'. At this point I don't need it so it's fine but still, it's odd that it isn't built into the OS like with my old Revvl 6 5G running Android 12.

Also for clarification, I run Android 13.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vinc17:
Hi,

On my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the values in Settings → "Mobile data usage" remain the same most of the time, even though I consume mobile data. They seem to increase again temporarily after I restart the phone or under some under condition (which I couldn't determine), then they stop working again.

Has anyone else seen a similar issue? Is there anything I can do?

Note that there doesn't seem to be any issue with the Wi-Fi data usage values.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vinc17:
This problem has never been solved, and it still occurs after the system update I did last night. It seems completely random: sometimes the mobile data are no longer tracked, and sometimes they are tracked again (without the need to restart the phone). I couldn't find a pattern. All applications are affected, and this includes "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering".
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] raul6:
Did you try clearing phone cache? Is data saver enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vinc17:
I don't know what phone cache is (each application has cache, but I can't see anything global, and I'm wondering how this would be related to the problem I'm having). Data saver has always been off.

As an example, here's mobile data consumption for some dates

reported by Android (with the "My Data Manager" application, but this is consistent with the evolution I can see in "Settings → Connections → Data usage → Mobile data usage"),

reported by my phone carrier (SFR in France).

Date Android SFR
──────────────────────────
2023-06-15 0.1 25.67
2023-06-16 41.2 121.03
2023-06-17 28.7 29.03
2023-06-18 0.1 17.44
2023-06-19 5.86 62.78
2023-06-20 1.76 21.87
2023-06-21 3.66 13.11
2023-06-22 0.1 23.46
2023-06-23 8.24 36.46
2023-06-24 0.2 17.12

As you can see, except for 2023-06-17, the Android values are incorrect and much below the SFR values (which really seem to correspond to what I actually consume).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] raul6:
Try clearing the phone cache just in case it makes a difference

“...

To clear the cache partition you need to connect your phone to a PC then Turn off the device. This is important as your device won’t boot to Recovery Mode when it’s on.

Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby / Power key.

Once the Android Recovery screen comes up, release the buttons.

Use the Volume Down button until you are highlighting ‘Wipe cache partition.’

Press the Power button to select ‘Wipe cache partition.’

Use Volume Down to highlight Yes.

Press the Power button to confirm the action to clear the cache.

Wait for a second as the system wipes the cache.

Press the Power button again to reboot the device.

... “
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vinc17:
I did that this morning. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem. Mobile data consumption done later does not increase the values in "Mobile data usage".
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] raul6:
What apps are listed under mobile data usage?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vinc17:
Typically all the apps that use mobile data, as soon as some data have been monitored. Here's the current status (but the values are much lower than they should be, and some apps like Twitter do not appear yet, though I've used them with mobile data):View attachment 5944511
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] raul6:
Yes, I see what you mean. And wifi usage is correct? Did you transfer settings and data from previous phone? I'm thinking some kind of settings corruption, for the lack of better word, is affecting your device. I would suggest maybe to contact Samsung tech support via members app and possibly they can run further tests etc. Only other thing is to, as last resort, factory reset and see that makes a difference
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vinc17:
The "My Data Manager" app shows a regular use of wifi, so I assume that's correct. Yes, I transferred data from my previous phone (Galaxy Note10+), but I'm wondering what kind of setting could have an effect on this issue (in particular because it doesn't occur all the time: sometimes mobile data monitoring works, sometimes it doesn't). A factory reset would be really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vinc17:
This is worse and worse. "My Data Manager" says that I've consumed 10.09 MB from June 28 to July 12 (and Mobile data usage in the settings says 11.80 MB since June 28, but including today), but my phone carrier says 596 MB for the same period from June 28 to July 12 (and this is probably the real amount), so 59 times as more. I sent logs to Samsung on June 30, but I haven't had any response yet (the average delay is 2 weeks).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] raul6:
Contact Samsung support, let them check
