I thought I had already unlocked it and I was able to flash the boot.img

But the phone won't boot up.

I tried to flash vbmeta, but it gives an error like in the picture.

My cell phones don't have commands

flashing unlock_critical

and flashing unlock
[General Topics] _Aleks_:
I have two of those phones, too.

I enabled OEM Unlock in the developer menu.

I tried to unlock one of them and root it.

But it stopped booting up.

Then I used MTK to make a full copy of the data from the second phone, with this command::

mtk rf flash.bin

And wrote that dump to the first phone that won't boot, with this command:

mtk wf flash.bin

He stopped show the Red State sign.

Everything started to look like a normal boot.

But the first phone still won't boot. after turning it on the blue logo appears, and then it won't boot. It looks like it's freezing.
[General Topics] eugene373:
It's not unlocked and verify disabled properly.
[General Topics] _Aleks_:
I changed the version of the MTK client.

I reinstalled it. I was able to root.

Thank you so much for this guide.

[General Topics] comm-ents:
Great tutorial, but I can only assume that because of differences in the newer firmware, the resources provided might not work to root their phone.

I was finally able to make it all work, but only after updating to the newest software version as of Oct 10th, 2023.

I didn't even try the patched boot file, but patched the boot.img after the update and applied that.

The phone also wouldn't boot with just the simple root so I had to also unlock the boot loader so it would start.

I also just used the latest Magisk-26.3(26300).apk rather than the supplied version.

This is all just what worked for me to get the phone rooted.

The only thing I didn't do is attempt to modify the filesystems as there doesn't seem to be any specific need for me to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] floppen22:
hello everyone, today i tried to flash twrp on my phone (rooted with magisk and running stock samsung rom), the flash was successful and i was able to boot into twrp but i coudnt access my storage or anything else, so i saw a guide saying to change the filesystem to ext2 then ext4, after i did that i could access most of the other folders but not the storage foldier as it still showed 0mb. i thought i just need to reboot my device to fix the issue but now im stuck on a bootloop. i cant poweroff the device since no button combination is currently working. is there anything i can do to power it off or do i have to wait a few days till the battery drains to 0?

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-a53-5g-exynos.4467443/

this is the link i used to flash twrp except i didnt follow the wipe instructions because i dont want to use a custom os.

and if nothing else works and i have to wait a few days till it drains to 0, will i be able to boot back into samsung's recovery mode or is this device hard bricked?

help will be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
This phone doesn't have the nice feature of holding the power button for force off so that is a negative here.

I don't think you should have edit:changed the partition types. If that was necessary it would be a ridiculous thing for other Android roms to have to do. Its all Android so should have worked without that.

Its unlikely that anything new will result from a cold boot verses a warm boot. Worth a shot I suppose but don't hold your breath. Expect nothing new.

If its stuck without Odin, fastboot, ADB, all buttons not doing anything, can't ingest and do something from sd card, can't show up via USB on computer, etc with nothing at all then its totally finished since nothing can be done. Consider it a loss and learn from it.

I'd like to also state that there are for some reason people who supposedly bring roms over to devices and they don't have the device so therefore don't really know if it works or not. You have to be careful about the guides you follow. I've seen someone try with a device that could not be unlocked ever for anyone and that person thought it would work. Live and learn.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] floppen22:
hello, i was able to boot the phone into twrp and do a factory reset, i had to time the vol up + power button at exactly the time when the screen went black and it worked!. but now i have a question, if i want to get twrp again and i dont plan to flash a custom rom like it says in the guide, how do i get twrp to recognize my storage? and do you flash twrp before installing an os or after because ive done it after installing the os.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] floppen22:
yeah so it seems like the issue isnt with changing the file system or anything because i installed twrp again and tried rebooting and i got the same bootloop issue, but if i flash a rom then ill lose twrp like it happened last time so i dont understand what im supposed to do
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] beanbean50:
you have to format data in twrp otherwise it won't see your storage folder.

once formatted reboot to twrp then reboot to system, it should reboot to stock rom and the set up pages.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] floppen22:
wipe>format data>type yes>reboot to recovery. i did that and still cant reboot to system bootloop issue persists
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] beanbean50:
yes you did it correctly this time, is there anyway to undo your 'filesystem to ext2 then ext4'?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] beanbean50:
or maybe you have to flash the custom kernel to get it all up and running again
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] floppen22:
how do i do that? the kernel folder in the guide doesnt have any tar or .img file to flash
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] beanbean50:
it's a zip file so it should flash in twrp
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] floppen22:
yes i was able to boot into my phone after flashing the kernel. thank you so much.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Mardds:
Since updating to A13 , all videos shot in 4k or 8k come out very saturated and unnatural, even after a factory reset, I attached a screenshot from one of the videos I shot recently. It's very annoying and almost unusable.

Anyone having a similar experience or has any idea how to fix this View attachment 5840465r?

When shooting in 1080 the colors are fine, only when shooting 4k or 8k I get this issue, I thought it was a playback issue from the gallery, but even playing the videos on tv or laptop I see the same issue.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] AndyC76:
Which A13 stock version are you on?

What version of the camera app are you using?

I don't know of there is a 4k / 8k photo taking mode, however if there is:

Do you get the same oversaturation when taking photos in 4k and 8k?

Is there an AI mode that can be deactivated?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryB:
I am very new to the subject of hacking an Android app, and so I am interested in any advice that anyone more experienced has to offer. I have been using the Amazon Halo Rise bedside sleep monitor for 7 weeks now, and it is evidently accurately detecting REM sleep (apparently in real time, or very close to real time) along with the other stages of sleep (light sleep and deep sleep, and also wakefulness). These stages of sleep (and wakefulness) are displayed in a hypnogram graph in the Halo Rise app on my smartphone. I assume that the Halo Rise bedside device is using Wi-Fi to communicate with the Halo Rise app on my smartphone (Android version 13) because the Halo Rise app required my Wi-Fi password in order to work. The Halo Rise app does not use Bluetooth. I want to use the Halo Rise bedside device to experiment with lucid dream induction. I have previously written programs in C and Python, and I built a device that used an Arduino micro-controller along with a finger tip pulse detector and an accelerometer to reliably detect REM sleep. However, the Amazon Halo Rise bedside device is contactless and is apparently more accurately identifying REM sleep than my device. I am wondering if there might be a way to access the stages of sleep data in the Halo Rise app at the moment during which that data is actually written to the app and then generate a signal from my smartphone that would activate external hardware which in turn produces stimuli that might manifest in the dream to potentially induce lucidity. I realize that no one can probably directly answer this question, but I am definitely interested in any advice that might point me in the right direction, such as good technical books to read that explain the Android OS and how apps interface with it, any pertinent websites that address such technical topics, or any forums or maker spaces that address such technical topics. Here is a link for the Amazon Halo Rise https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/amazon-halo-rise I honestly would appreciate any advice. Thank you for your time.

I want to make sure that my phone is actually switching... I always hear that Boost SIMs download all kinds of junk but that hasn't happened on my device (it downloaded zero things) and I'm not connecting to n77 even though AT&T says it's everywhere here so I'm not sure if it's a CSC issue or what.

This doesn't make any sense. Computer was starting to get slow and have odd problems (chrome suddenly stopped working, random crashes, package installers quit working, and the title of this post.) I wiped my HDD clean and started fresh which fixed every other problem except Logitech gaming software. I have a G920 wheel that doesn't work unless I have that software installed. Now, I can install it, but I can't open it. Click on the program and it acts like I didn't click on it. Nothing happens. Sometimes, it will open (10 minutes or so) but immediately say it isn't responding. Any ideas? I'm totally lost. I have tried different versions of the program from 2015 on, but nothing gets the job done. I'll post a screenshot of my system info so you people know what I have. Thanks!

HI . I'm looking for a stable rom with a good battery drain and that has usable Google pay. can anyone advise me?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ishvalanX:
Actually I've found lineageos 18.1 to have the most stable battery drain among the top 4-5 Roms I've used. The system has tiny bits of bugs which are not inconvenient except for the screen not turning on sometimes. This can be solved by not using the double tap to wake feature.

Google pay should work fine as long as you keep google services up to date.

[Red Magic 8 pro] giannis808:
Hello, sadly got mine yesterday and it already got a burn-in on grayish screens from the always on display! I sent an email to them and i wait their response to initiate the RMA process. Anyone that did one until now and can tell me how much it took after sending their phone away until they got the next one on their hands? Maybe a week or more?

Just noticed that as time goes by with the aod closed the burn in fades out... I'm confused about whether I want to send it back

If you're pertaining to the green tint on the camera, according to them, it's normal.

[OnePlus 10T 5G] oneplushypergaming:
How possible would it be to change a slot from A to B using an edl tool like https://github.com/bkerler/edl ? How would this be used? or, for example, what command should be used? Are there any other methods of application? just including an EDL method? Because simply stating android has two slots one may be bricked and deleted of info and another may have a working slot and yes (I am ware fastboot can do this) but this is for those who cannot access it on a certain slot.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] TheNewHEROBRINE:
If you're asking specifically about the 10T the answer is no. Authentication is required to use EDL on this device and bkerler's implementation doesn't support this kind of authentication. However, if you had a device with unprotected EDL mode you could theoretically alter the current slot if it's saved on a disk partition.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] oneplushypergaming:
I see. So, in other words, it is simply impossible for any user to obtain it without authentication, which sucks a lot. It's unfortunate to see such a dependable company resort to this, even though they claim to be very user-friendly. can't argue with their pricing though, it was never about pricing for me. It was always about "if you break it, you can fix it in a single click, but all that has changed. thank you for your support.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] AkayamiShurui:
You don't know how to use that guy's tool there's many people who have made videos about it I suggest you go watch your video on it and tools not that complicated but it is complex if you don't have prior tech skill
[OnePlus 10T 5G] oneplushypergaming:
I've used this tool on phones like the Oneplus 7t, motorola g8 power, LG velvet and 7Pro, as well as other msm tools, and I'm very intimately acquainted with 9008 I understand how to utilize it. I was only inquiring if it could be used on the 10t.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] Renate:
Which slot is active is saved in the misc partition, beyond the usual reboot command.

I've not yet had an A/B device, so I can't say more.

With non-A/B you can erase the misc partition without a problem.

I don't know how bad it would be if you erased misc on an A/B.

I presume that it would default to A?
[OnePlus 10T 5G] oneplushypergaming:
well.. you'd think that would happen because it's the most logical way to put it, but in my experience, whenever the partition is erased, it always stays on the slot, leaving the overall device bricked sadly, or depending on what in the misc is erased, you may just be lucky to get boot loops or booted into a constant bootloader, which can fortunately be solved by fastboot enhanced. at least for oneplus devices and by fast boot you can just simply switch to the desired working slot.

[OnePlus Nord CE 2] NamiBit:
So, I'm pretty desperate. The other night my phone had shut down. The next morning I tried to open it, dialed my pin and next the phone asks for my password. Well I couldn't type it in because the keyboard wasn't showing up. I restarted it, reboot it in recovery mode, drained the battery just to see if it helps. Nothing. It just won't show up. Went to show it to the shop where I bought it, they didn't really help me much. My brother tried to connect his keyboard with usb-c cable, but the phone didn't recognize it. He also wondered if I could use some sort of USB to get it write the password automatically. I didn't save my stuff in cloud, so yea, no backups. I'll learn. I'm basically weighing my options before factory reset...Do you guys have any ideas?
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] jonpjingleheimler:
Other than a factory reset, If you can get into recovery adb sideload your latest firmware and restart the phone. if it continues with the issue go back to recovery and factory reset.

Good. Would you able to bypass hotspot subscription check like unlocked Oneplus 7T does? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6] WhitbyGreg:
FYI, step 5 is no longer required as an update has been implemented in LineageOS to resolve this issue.
[Google Pixel 6] Arealhooman:
This feels… very risky.
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
It's not, really.

The bootloader lock only prevents unsigned images from loading. If a custom root of trust is set and the images are signed using that key, the bootloader can be locked and will be in YELLOW state:
[Google Pixel 6] ipdev:
It can be risky but, if done correctly.

As V0latyle noted.

Show a YELLOW screen on every boot if the device is LOCKED, a custom root of trust has been set, and the image was signed with this custom root of trust.​

[Google Pixel 6] xHasKx:
Hi @WhitbyGreg ,

Thanks for the detailed guide! Maybe you know if the same will work for the Google Pixel 7 Pro (possibly with small changes)?
[Google Pixel 6] WhitbyGreg:
Yes, I've done it with a Pixel 7 (non-pro) without issue. Just make the appropriate changes for the device name.
[Google Pixel 6] chrisrg:
How about the Pixel 7a; have you done it on that as well?

Also, is the guide relevant for custom rom based on Lineage such as iodeOS? I've done a signed build of this before and the developer makes the process easy with a short script that seems to handle everything with just a couple of commands.

I've not managed to discover how to do a build including TheMuppets for blobs and firmware though.
[Google Pixel 6] WhitbyGreg:
I don't have a 7a so I haven't tried it, but it should work.

Other ROM's may or may not work,depending on how they implement their devices and build system.
[Google Pixel 6] chrisrg:
And finally...yes it does! A lot of trial and error on my part as a novice lacking a full understanding of what's going on and why but yes, finally cracked it today. Thanks very much for the guide.

There were a few extra steps and/or deviations from both the LOS signing guide and yours which I'll come back a bit later with a description.

After getting lynx locked I proceeded to try the same with Pixel8 shiba and LOS 21. I had tried it many times before today but the knowledge acquired along the way helped me to crack that one too. With some mods your guide works for Pixel 8. Happy days. I''ll be using it as a daily for a while.
[Google Pixel 6] chrisrg:
For the initial LOS signing I found that creating ALL of the keys described in the official guide as 4096 keys was the way to go it only worked if I created ALL of the keys in .android-certs to be 4096.

Following this guide to sign for lynx repeat Step2, part ii and Step 3 for the /device/google/gs201 dir.

Create the releasekey.key file in .android-certs before doing Step 6.

See the note at Step 9 for the command.

It worked for iodeOS too. :)
[Google Pixel 6] WhitbyGreg:
Yes, Lineage added some additional signing keys since I wrote this guide, I do plan on updating it soon for Lineage 21 after I pick up a Pixel 8.
[Google Pixel 6] tham.400:
Whenever I build normally (with makefile patch) it works fine but with a signed build my pixel 6 goes into ramdump. What's wrong?
[Google Pixel 6] WhitbyGreg:
Check to make sure the signing completed successfully, otherwise I'm not sure why it would fail.

If you're building/siging Lineage 21, you might want to review my current thread on the 8 Pro as some things have changed for 21.
[Google Pixel 6] tham.400:
I've followed instructions, just stuck on what to do after steps 2 and 3 when making otatools, because there's no file called releasekey.key, and when generated using the openssl command, this is what's returned:

out/host/linux-x86/bin/avbtool: Adding hash_footer failed: Key is wrong size for algorithm SHA256_RSA4096
[Google Pixel 6] WhitbyGreg:
You're probably using a 2048 bit release key instead of the 4096 one assumed in the instructions. Either create a 4096 bit release key or go back and edit the appropriate files that have SHA256_RSA4096 settings and replace them with SHA256_RSA2048.
[Google Pixel 6] tham.400:
Ignore this, I managed to get it working by editing the make_key file and redoing all the keys, thanks

A few weeks ago I bought the Oneplus 11, now that the latest version Global A.07 has come out, I get the following error, I have tried with Oxygen Updater and I still get an error when updating, I have automatic updates enabled from the developer options.

The model is CPH2451
[OnePlus 11] ChrisFeiveel84:
cph2451 us usa not global

cph2449 is eu/global
[OnePlus 11] plepew:
Is there a way to convert.2451 to 2449?
[OnePlus 11] jeffsga88:
If you're still on A.06 and trying to update to A.07 (and you're rooted on A.06), then you need to flash the stock A.06 init_boot.img before updating. Not 100% sure, but believe that someone posted the stock A.06 init_boot.img for the US version in one of the other threads on here, if not maybe you can ask in those threads if anyone has the unpatched A.06 init_boot.img as only way to do incremental update is if your system is stock. It's the bad part about the US only getting incremental updates instead of the full packages like every other region does.
[OnePlus 11] ChrisFeiveel84:
Yes flash the eu build over fastbootd
[OnePlus 11] ericfong27:
I have the same issue, newly bought Oneplus 11 totally can't update at all. May I know how you solve it?
[OnePlus 11] jeffsga88:
View the thread here. It has the stock A.06 and A.07 init_boot.img. You can flash which ever one you're currently on then update. I would also recommend following that guide to root the US version of the 11 in the future.
[OnePlus 11] ericfong27:
Thank you for your reply.(y)

Do you have the guide how to convert from CPH2451 to others?
[OnePlus 11] jeffsga88:
No problem, also wouldn't personally recommend converting. You risk bricking for little to no advantage and if you do brick there's no free way to recover (as MSM is no longer free and open). I would just stay on 2451 and use that guide for updates.
[OnePlus 11] ChrisFeiveel84:
for convert from cph2451 to eu or co flash the build from other region over FBE ( and and delete all partitions with the tool that comes with COW)
[OnePlus 11] ericfong27:
I have tried it, but failed. End up black screen + boot loop.

Then flash this file oplusstanvbk.img able to boot back CPH2451. Don't know why.

is a known problem and I already posted it here on xda
