[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Anthony2oo5:
Dutty stated that he may not be doing any more ROMs and I just wanted some questions asked by people who could be able to help me. I might take a stab at making my own ROM. I seen the video tutorial posted around here, but ..

Are there any more tutorials on how to start?

When I start, Im confused by which ROM to use, can I use any ROM to start ? (IE Duttys) or do I have to use a special ROM?

Whats all this im seeing about HD ROMS?

Thanks for your time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
i don't cook so i can't says whats best to start with...sorry

but HD is from the touch HD rom

i hope this helps

Liam
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nblakqori:
duttys roms are locked, u cant recook them, aztor roms are not locked.

the best is to use original htc roms as base rom, and them combine it with latest sys build and drivers etc.

How do i know wich rom is locked?

the best ask the rom shef and probably they will answer u

regarding HD, the rom shefs try to combine and port new HD drivers and apps etc.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ABDULLAH04:
Hello XDA community,

I am facing an issue with my device after flashing the wrong ROM. The device entered EDL mode, and when I connected it to my computer, it initially showed up under Ports in Device Manager as COM 10. However, now it is showing up under USB Controllers as an Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).

I have tried the following solutions without any success:

Reinstalling the device driver by uninstalling and letting Windows reinstall it automatically after a restart.

Manually updating the driver through Device Manager.

Performing a hard reset and attempting to enter bootloader/recovery mode.

Trying different USB ports and cables.

Installing the Qualcomm QDLoader driver.

Unfortunately, none of these solutions have worked for me. I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions on how I can resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your help!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
"Device descriptor failed" is the most basic USB error possible in Windows.

It means that the device has asserted pullup on the D+ but is not responding to anything.

As proof of concept I just did that with a resistor and a cable.

This means that the USB interface is enabled but it is totally dead.

Not ADB, not fastboot, not EDL, nothing.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] mvikrant97:
Not everytime. It may be due to faulty usb cable and sudden power surge on the usb port.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
Well, ok. Cut the white wire on a cable and you'll get this all the time.

In any case, it means, "I can sense something is plugged in, but I can't get to "Square One".
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ABDULLAH04:
what is the solution?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
You've apparently bricked your device.

You need to flash everything using EDL mode.

You probably need to use EDL test points to get there.

It's bypassing EDL mode on boot because it thinks things are ok.

But as it gets further along it discovers that it's a train wreck and just stops.

If you had killed it more it would have gone directly to EDL mode.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
I don't have any issues myself, but do you think one of these "DeepFlash" Cables (e.g. on eBay) work? They are able to trigger EDL Mode apparently.

I've also read that you can just DIY such cable.

Long time ago, my phone had also gotten hardbricked due to an aborted Fastboot Flash.

I don't remember if Device Manager said "Device Descriptor Failed", but it wasn't in EDL Mode and I had to remove the backglass and trigger the EDL Test-points. All good though now.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
I've never resolved exactly where the code for detecting a grounded D+ line in the USB is.

It could be in the PBL (in ROM), the xbl or the abl.

I'm not sure if all devices have it.

I'm quite sure that I've never gotten it to work.

That may be because of the devices I've tried or my lack of coordination.

OTOH, I have half a dozen devices that I can hit the EDL test points.

YMMV
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanclark112:
i want to know what is the most suited custom kernel for my device, the one that can set my selinux to permissive and can set read write permissions (my android 12 can't write in build prop, and can't set permissions on the root directory,)

i wanna use a custom kernel mainly for magisk modules, (i don't have twrp or any custom recovery or custom rom, I can't install it and can't create my own recovery.img whatsoever da bla bla bla)

so yea, what do you all recommend me doing, not so techy cause im not literate to anything yet, I'm just using youtube to watch tutorials i almost bricked my phone many times for not being careful,

any tips, thoughts, insights are accepted, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this things, I'm willing to learn anything, thank you all for the consideration in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanclark112:
can someone help
[Google Pixel 6] Nayem-Mahfuz:
I need help please! I flashed a custom kernel using kernel flasher but now it's stuck on the Google logo(Where it loads), I did not disable verity and verification as I did not want to wipe the device( So the problem may lie within it). I am able to get to fastboot but the problem is I do not have a computer at the moment, so I used can use bugjaeger with another device... Usually I have a PC at my disposal and could've have fixed the problem. Sorry for the hindering english.

Note: I manually updated the factory image of April (I was on the April build) but now when press start on the bootloader menu it shows the Google logo and come backs to the fastboot mode. Thank you all in advance.
[Google Pixel 6] allday5850:
You're going to need access to a computer to be able to fix that if you don't want to wipe phone
[Google Pixel 6] Nayem-Mahfuz:

[Google Pixel 6] Nayem-Mahfuz:
Used android flash... By another device nonetheless. Just a few tweaks and everything was fine. Did not lose any data except root. Not disabling verity and verification can cause a lot of problem.

do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM

Did you try this with Tapas or Topaz? Does this rom works on Redmi Note 12 4G (Tapas)?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] FahimAnayet:
I am using tapas model (without NFC). Also, I've used all currently available roms. All of them work well. I have tried AlphaDroid, RisingOS, PixysOS, XiaomiEU, and EvolutionX (haven't touched OctaviOS yet). Every rom works perfectly on tapas, No problem. Currently waiting for NusantaraOS.

is there any custom rom with miui camera?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] FahimAnayet:
Octavi OS is very smooth and has a very good ram management. I've played COD, PUBG, Farlight 84, FreeFire, etc. Currently, I am using this. (Bugs: adaptive brightness doesn't work. And some minor bugs also present. DO NOT SLIDE THE BRIGHTNESS ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT WILL TURN OFF FULL BRIGHTNESS, AND MAKE THE DISPLAY PITCH BLACK)

[Redmi Note 12 4G] Nischalmagar:
thank you bro...gonna use it now..currently downloading.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Nischalmagar:
thank you so much bro for suggestion... using octavi os for 3 days now...its way to smooth and it doesnt lag much while playing PUBG also...everything is perfect.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Caiofs11:
does it support version with 8gb of ram is 128gb?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Imranajg:
What about quick charging? I hope it's working.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Nischalmagar:
yes quick charging is there...no issues at all
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Imranajg:
Thanks
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Nischalmagar:
bro are you using any other rom which is better than octavi os? . i am having bug with 4G connection with this octavi rom.....can you please suggest any other rom other than octavi?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] FahimAnayet:
Unfortunately, I've been busy. So haven't tried any new ROM. But, I believe ProjectElixir is a better choice. And in the mean time, if Nusantara comes out then that I want to try. Another project called Voltage also caught my eye. And people say EvoX, CrDroid, CrDroidVanilla is good for gaming, but for me those are a bit too bloated.

I've faced way too many bugs in this rom compared to other roms, but 4g connection was solid for me.

EDIT: I tried the above mentioned version of ProjectElixir which was not so good for me. Also the given version of CrDroidVanilla is pretty good. I am using it now.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Nischalmagar:
bro flashed it just now ..but it doesnt have gapps can you provide me links for google apps?... i cant even add google account on settings? its urgent
[Redmi Note 12 4G] FahimAnayet:
there was two versions of crdroid I've linked. I do not want google apps. So I've used vanilla. If you want gapps then you should use normal crdoid (without vanilla) version. And if you want to use vanilla and want to use gapps you can flash gapps zip (eg: FlameGapps, NikGApps, etc.) or micro g (eg: microgRevived, MinMicrog, etc.). I am using microg(microgRevived) my self. Judging by your desire you should use crdroid or aforementioned gapps.

[Redmi Note 12 4G] FahimAnayet:
Brief: Make backup. Download rom. Go to recovery. Wipe all. Install rom. Reboot. If you want root, Download magisk/kernel su. Rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip or download Anykernel3-android-xx.yy.zz(your kernel version). From recovery install magisk or kernel su. reboot. For gapps follow your favourite gapps providers guide.

Long and clear post can be found on XDA & tutorial can be found on youtube.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] mdbillal7:
Which Castom rom is best or good for Tapas ?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] FahimAnayet:
Besides all the others I've tried, Superior Extended (gapps | vanilla) is THE BEST (currently) for me (I use vanilla). Battery life is incredible, no lag, game performance is good, thermals and all. There is also a newer version available, but they removed the Leica cam from there (this version has some minor bugs with this cam), so I haven't updated.

EDIT: There's an official of Alpharoid available (link). You can check that out too(I didn't test it).

[Redmi Note 12 4G] lcparente:
Guys, I tried to install this Alphadroid ROM and I was not successful. Could you guys try to help-me?!

.

Here it is below the notes (my on observations) and steps that I did before the problem:

.

1. Boot to TWRP or OrangeFOX pressing POWER + VOLUME UP;

2. Flash 'preflash.ZIP' before flash ROM;

3. Flash ROM build;

4. Flash *.ZIP from twrp/orangefox;

5. Reboot twrp/orangefox in Recovery Mode again;

6. Flash RO2RW DFE in caso you DO NOT HAVE Gapps installed;

7. Reboot twrp/orangefox again;

8. Flash Gapps (Recomended Using nikGapps) If needed;

9. Wipe data, metadata, dalvik, and cache;

10. 'Reboot System' and you should enjoy-it =)

.

So, after these steps (I DID NOT DO step 6, 7, and 8!!), the device does not go to AlphaROM system, yet it returns to OrangeFox, at least, eh!

.

I notice that all directories that I can see via OrangeFox, the changed! Moreover, the necessary files to flash a new ROM that I had put inside Internal Storage (preflash.ZIP, RO2RW DFE.ZIP, OrangeFox-Unofficial-tapas.zip, and Alphadroid ROM), all these files disappeared!

.

Then, I thought in to take all these files from my laptop and transfer all of them to my smart internal store. But, when plugged on my laptop, Windows shows-it as a different name and it appears pretty much blank! There is no files, no directory, no nothing!!

.

So, do you guys have any suggestion?! =**

.

.

EDITED:

.

This situation of mine was solved in this topic. My bad! =)

what are these files,

preflash + RO2RW Dfe,

and what they do, what will happen if I flash without these two files
[Redmi Note 12 4G] DarthJabba9:
1. preflash deletes a certain file/folder. You don't need to flash it if you're running the official OrangeFox recovery. If you don't flash it when using other recoveries, the ROM flash may fail with an error - or it may not fail at all.

2. AFAICS, RO2RW Dfe converts some read-only dynamic partitions into read/write, and disables forced-encryption. AFAIK you need to do that to be able to flash a separate GAPPs package on some (perhaps all) vanilla ROMs. However, flashing may leave your device totally unencrypted - with all the attendant security problems. So, if you don't care about the security of your device or the safety of your personal data, then go ahead and flash it. Otherwise, stick with ROMs that come with GAPPs included.

thank you for the detail answers, so what I understand is I don't have to flash these files bcz I'm already on orangefox and I don't use gapps, but I use micro G from magisk, can u suggest me some good roms, someone said that crdroid is abandoned by developer otherwise I will go for it
[Redmi Note 12 4G] lcparente:
@Redmi 4A abdal , it has a bit more than one month that I am using miui_xtended_tapas_recovery-v3 ROM, which is pretty much like Stock ROM; but, without the crappy XIAOMI advertisement, bloatware, and other garbage applications that come on Stock ROM.

.

So, if you do change ROM every week like I was once and do not care too much about customization, I recommend this ROM, even though I have few complains about some applications that require the usage of GPS and these ones does not work properly (Strava, ZEPP, XOSS...)

I just succeeded in updating the previous build to this one through adb on tapas. So far seems good, will update after a while.

Only problem for now has been the Cast function - it managed to discover my LG C1 after a while but it either doesn't do anything when trying to connect or throws up an error.

Btw the booting animation of the older build is probably the coolest I've seen!
