See if it helps.

On Google Files app -> click on SD Card -> 3 dots -> storage settings

There you may find "format" and "format as internal" options.

I have not tried it yet as I just found out this option and am doing research on which SD card to buy for best durability, fast and largest supported size.

Hi there,

I have been struggling to try figuring this out, ending up with no luck.

I just wanted to block calls like:

75536581234

75536582312

7553658....

just the numbers starting with 7553658, ending with 4-digit-number.

I have tried adding 7553658 or 7553658* into blocked number. It doesn't work.

Thanks for you attention.
[Google Pixel 6] bush911:
Could @V0latyle please help figure this out:)
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
Nope. I've been trying to figure this out too. I have an Illinois phone number but no longer know anyone who lives in Illinois, so every call from my area code is spam. Nothing I can do about it except block each number as they come in.

Hi. As the title says, can all Pixel 6A phone have their bootloader unlocked? I plan on buying a Pixel 6A on Ebay in July (if i get enough money) that has the carrier unlocked. Is there a good chance that I can unlock its bootloader?
[Google Pixel 6a] beeshyams:
I don't have personal experience but I've read that some Pixel phones that are sold on such platforms can't be unlocked.

If it's possible ensure that you buy phones that can be unlocked
[Google Pixel 6a] mbudden89:
thanks!
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
Verizon ones definitely can't be bootloader unlocked.
[Google Pixel 6a] mbudden89:
Even if the phone is carrier unlocked?
[Google Pixel 6a] mbudden89:
Really? I was told by someone in a Discord server that as long as it's carrier unlocked it can have its bootloader unlocked.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lughnasadh:
Verizon models cannot have their bootloader unlocked.
[Google Pixel 6a] mbudden89:
oh okay. well i found this seller on ebay that states that i want a model that can have its bootloader unlocked i just have to choose the "factory unlocked" option. so that's good.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] patomas:
Does anyone know if in any ROM (maybe in an official one) is possible to play smoothly MP4 H.264 600x300 videos using the integrated windows media player?

I have also an HTC Touch HD, with that using Windows Media (or HTC Album)

the playback of MP4 video uses an accelerated driver and is really, really smooth. Coreplayer is definitely worse.

I think it could be possible that also in Athena Windows Media uses an optimized driver.

In Mitchy 6.1 ROM (great ROM!) Windows Media play my MP4 videos but really slow.

Thank you
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] michyprima:
you "just" need to make optimized drivers.......lol
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] patomas:
In my understanding it is possible that Windows Media uses specific API's that can use an accelerated driver (already there!). Something like Directx.

In touch HD the situation is indeed similar: Coreplayer/Tcmp does not use the hardware acceleration of the device (Qtv in that case=) becouse of the lack of drivers BUT windows media really does!!

So, converting divx video in something that windows media recognises (Mp4 H.264) and use it to reproduce them, makes possible use the full power of the hardware.

I hope, and beleive, the same is possible in Athena!!

Thank you!
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] phmvietquan1:
i updated the software and got a black screen, won't turn on anymore, plugged in the computer, got the driver 9008, i tried many ways like flashing an older version but it didn't work. And I also don't want to disassemble the machine like other instructions.

The simplest way that I use is to wait for it to run out of battery for about 3 days, the way to know is when holding the power it will show the battery and vibrate, then plug in the charger and the device automatically restarts.

I'm quite happy about this, and the problem has been solved, so I'm sharing it with everyone, hoping everyone is patient enough to wait and it will work out.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] FIERA03:
WARNING

This device is an "advanced" tablet that requires a variety of commands and slightly advanced skills. If you don't know words like "adb", "fastboot", "QFIL" ,or "EDL V2 cable", we recommend avoiding customization and operating with ZUI. And I cannot guarantee any damage caused by reading this.

Legion Y700's Stock ROM, ZUI, initially did not support languages other than English and Chinese (I am Japanese) and there was some hassle with using GMS (the latest version, ZUI14, adds an option to use a Google account). So I therefore decided to use GSI to remedy this shortcoming to some extent.

I therefore decided to use GSI to remedy this shortcoming to some extent. This is the flashing process for nazim's crDroid GSI that I wrote about earlier, and the basics are still the same today.

I recommend crDroid for the following reasons.

This GSI is stable and has few crashes. Performance in games is also kept at a high level.

This GSI supports Face Unlock, which is important because the Y700 does not support fingerprint recognition.

Those who do not need facial recognition or do not want a landscape lock screen can try other ROMs such as LineageOS.

Android 13's GSI is also much more stable than earlier versions. I haven't used it yet because Lawnchair doesn't support it natively, but if you don't, I recommend this one as well. crDroid as well as Project Elixir, which is officially certified, seem to have good battery life.

By the way, there seems to be a problem with Android 13 GSI where "Face Unlock" does not work. However, I found a module called biometric-restore in Pixel Experience's Telegram Group.

It is also possible to return to ZUI by using QFIL.

https://smartasw.com/archives/15575

If Bricked by ROM flash, etc., it may be possible to use an EDL V2 cable (sold by Aliexpress, etc.) to make it ready to flash with QFIL.

I have a bit of writing to do, but I will end here. I will add more when I have more time.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] gogitossj:
What do you mean by Project Elixir is officially certified?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] FIERA03:
Project Elixir GSI is an "official" GSI because its maintainer, Mr. UGLYKID24, is certified by the Elixir development team. On the other hand, crDroid is an "unofficial" GSI because Mr. Nazim is not certified (Ancient OS, which is also certified under Nazim's ROM, is considered an official GSI).

[Lenovo Legion Y700] gleenfield97:
It depends how bad is the brick. If the fastboot is still intact, it is possible to switch to EDL mode using "fastboot oem reboot-edl". I managed to restore to original firmware using QFIL with a regular USB cable through this guide.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Conteecha:
Looks like somebody was able to bypass EDL authorization in MiFlash tool and realeased a free version 2 weeks ago on softwarecrackguru - Xiaomi MiFlash Tool 2023.4.14.0 (No need auth) - FREE.

I was able to unbrick my Mi Mix 3, but not the way I intended, so be warned. I wanted to recover some data from my bricked phone, but as I'm new to all this stuff I didn't realize "save user data" option is completely ignored in EDL mode so the phone was reflashed with all stock ROM images and I lost my data ...

Spybot says the software is clean, so I gave it a try.

Do you guys know what are the MiFlash input files for reflashing ? I mean can the input files be modified to define only single image/partition flashing instead of everything, so MiFlash could be used similarly to QFIL's partition manager ?

With this EDL unlocked MiFlash tool having such a control would possibly make data recovery feasible for all the people keeping their paperweights waiting for a miracle like this.

--------------

I sorted it out.

MiFlash stops flashing when reaching an .img file from the ROM package that is missing. So the right course of action before using MiFlash is to remove all .img files from the ROM package. Now after clicking "Flash" MiFlash will authorize EDL for firehose and stop.

This means the phone's firehose programmer is now EDL authorized so we can switch to a different EDL tool that supports serial communication, i.e. python EDL tool. I had to use the master version, because the released packages don't support serial communication.

Now read the gpt table with

python edl.py --serial printgpt --memory=ufs

There are 5 Luns and quite a lot of partitions. The ROM package contains only 14 images, so you need to know on which Lun the specific partition is located as this parameter is needed for the EDL tool to write the partition.

Spoiler content hidden.

Now I could flash the single partition, but I don't know which. Could anybody help me here ? Is it vendor or system maybe ? Also I wonder if the idea as a whole (to reflash only a single partition to get the phone out of the bootloop) is correct ?

[Google Pixel 6] catcatjpg:
woo i smell something new to try out! love trying builds like these!
[Google Pixel 6] adm1jtg:
So is this modified stock? Asking because stock has some pixel excelusive features that roms like LOS dont have. Like a different less feature filled camera apk no option for the charging optimization and I believe the better voice translation is also only available on stock.

Do we get all the pixel exclusive stock goodness on your rom?
[Google Pixel 6] catcatjpg:
as far as i can see it does include most of them... although im personally not aware of what the pixel exclusive features are
[Google Pixel 6] adm1jtg:
The main ones I KNOW are missing in LOS are additional camera options... cant give you specifics as I am on LOS atm, and there is no option for adaptive charging, adaptive sound and one other adaptive something, i think adaptive battery.

Also not sure if we lose the "better voice translation"
[Google Pixel 6] runLoganrun:
Ok, newb question I guess.... Its been a couple years since i've been actively modding any of my phones and I'm a little fuzzy on some details. Such as:

Can I relock bootloader following flashing this ROM?

What about root, do I need to root first before I can flash ROM or just unlock BL? &/Or do I need to root after flashing ROM, with Magisk, or is it already installed?

Thank you so much!
[Google Pixel 6] k9r4n16:
You can just unlock the bootloader to flash a custom ROM :)

you can root it if you want, just reboot to recovery and sideload the magisk.zip after you flash the ROM you want them direct install in the Magisk Manager app. there's not too much point in root unless you want LSposed (Xposed) or additional mods not provided by the ROM.

I'm not sure if you can relock the bootloader on this ROM, I know you can on Graphene OS and ProtonAOSP but idk if it's available on all ROM's.
[Google Pixel 6] runLoganrun:
Sweet, thank you! So no custom recovery needed either?

That was actually the very thing I was wondering after contemplating root (whether or not it is necessary and for what I may need it) So if not doing additional mods theres no reason to really have it then? Seems like it used to much more often be the case that root was required. It also makes it easier for bad actors to manipulate your phone, right...

Thanks again! One last thing... Does Android pay work with this ROM? (seems like it also used to be that custom roms broke various functions of the phone more often....)
[Google Pixel 6] k9r4n16:
Idk about this ROM specifically, I would test it out for sure. It worked out of the box with Evolution X, so maybe!

Depends on the ROM... Some will have you flash all fastboot images, others will have you flash a few fastboot images that contain the recovery and a few others and then have you reboot to recovery and ADB sideload it. :)
[Google Pixel 6] Ziauddin_Sameer:
Well yeah zephyrus has them.
[Google Pixel 6] Ziauddin_Sameer:
No I haven't added bootloader locking support yet . You have to separately flash magisk.
[Google Pixel 6] runLoganrun:
Installation...

To install this rom am I first installing vendor-boot.img from fastboot and then sideloading?

Thank you!
[Google Pixel 6] Ziauddin_Sameer:
Flash boot, vendor_boot and dtbo from fastboot. Then fastboot -w and go to recovery and sideload the rom
[Google Pixel 6] runLoganrun:
Awesome! Thank you so much!
[Google Pixel 6] runLoganrun:
oop, one more thing, I flashed .img files and booted to recovery. I'm in zephyrus recovery however.... still sideload like usual, or apply update?
[Google Pixel 6] runLoganrun:
I got it, easy peasy..... Thank you!
[Google Pixel 6] k9r4n16:
What features does this ROM include and if anyone has tested this ROM how is battery life? I'm trying to find a good ROM that has Pixel features, Face Unlock, and good battery life if possible. EvolutionX has come the closest, but battery life is downright awful on it.
[Google Pixel 6] Ziauddin_Sameer:
Pixel features are there, face unlock too. Battery life is subjective so can't tell. It's pretty good here tho.
[Google Pixel 6] cbomb1337:
For some reason magisk 25.2 wouldn't patch the boot. I need that magisk because it flashes the jamesdsp module and gets it working. The new magisk fails and causes crashes with that module.

[Google Pixel 6] LuckyTheCoder:
Are you referring to the boot.img and radio.img from the official firmware that can be flashed via Fastboot?
[Google Pixel 6] aimsjahan:
No pal, I was referring to the bootloader itself! Official May version is - bootloader-oriole-slider-1.2-9465321, but this rom includes - bootloader-oriole_beta-slider-1.3-9698346, which is from latest android 14 beta 2 build.

Just to be clear, I don't claim this bl version thing to be the problem but in my case fingerprint settings returned after I flashed the official bl.
