[General Questions and Answers] darklight_69:
okay so i've downloaded a stock rom for my specific phone model can i use that instead to extract boot.img(will only use this as last resort)
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
yes, if it is the same build/release you can use it from download. double check from settings - about phone.

regarding VCOM preloader drivers, I can see you haven't installed correctly (yellow triangles)

you can assign the *.inf manually in device manager. make sure phone is powered off. keep an eye for new device in device manager, connect the usb cable.

preloader is only visible for ~1 second, it disappears immediately when phone gets power of usb. during this second, pick the new device in device manager, click on > Properties > Update Driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer > Show all devices > Have Disk > cdc-acm.inf

Now each time you connect phone in power off state, preloader is ready to get connected to flash tool for ~ 1 second.

can you see preloader in device manager? is it visible without any yellow triangle exclamation mark?

yes, i am able to see it but it only lasts like 1 sec and then it refresges and poof! its gone then the same problem occurs again

do note that

at the moment the device appears when i plug it in, i quickly entered the code

then theres a big delay then after a few minutes i'l get the same errors again
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
you do the opposite - first start reading/flashing, then connect phone ;)

just wanna make sure, aside from build / release number, what other aspects should i consider when downloading stock rom
[General Questions and Answers] darklight_69:
i have downloaded a stock rom but i still aint using it because:

The rom file is named: ""Infinix_Hot_20_X6826C_MT6768_V826_230314.zip""

the build number is "X6826C-H6927ABC-S-OP-230314V826" it somehow manage to match with ""... v826_230314" and "X6826C" on the downloaded stock rom file name, BUT

on the downloaded stock rom file too, there is this thing called "MT6768" but my cpu is "MT6769V/CZ" should i worry about it?
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
V826 seems the version but SoC must not mismatch

[Windows 11] TheSlyFox3033:
so I have tried multiple different Linux types. and I want to get rid of the most recent one. (Linux Mint) I can delete the partition but my bios says its still there. the next problem I am having is that when I boot into windows recovery mode and click the option "choose a device" I have 3 devices. one is ubuntu which boots into Linux mint. the 2 others are POP OS as one of them failed and the other did successfully install. I want to remove the ubuntu device from my bios and the three devices that are in windows recovery. I have Linux mint reinstalled to make sure that I start from square one. I also want to be able to do this without touching windows (reinstalling or anything like that).
[Windows 11] MocnePifko:
You can try this tool to customise your boot menu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

sudo apt update

sudo apt install grub-customizer,

if it is grub bootloader that you're using.
[Windows 11] TheSlyFox3033:
i dont want to keep linux. i want it off my entire system. everything linux gone along with the grub line so that it doesnt show up in the bios and windows recovery mode. but i dont know how to remove the grub line. just the linux partition.
[Windows 11] MocnePifko:
You can try this but take note that you're doing it at your own risk and I'm not responsible for any damage you may cause.
[Windows 11] MocnePifko:
1. Run a cmd.exe process with administrator privileges

2. Run diskpart

3. Type: list disk then sel disk X where X is the drive your boot files reside on

4. Type list vol to see all partitions (volumes) on the disk (the EFI volume will be formatted in FAT, others will be NTFS)

5. Select the EFI volume by typing: sel vol Y where Y is the SYSTEM volume (this is almost always the EFI partition)

6. For convenience, assign a drive letter by typing: assign letter=Z: where Z is a free (unused) drive letter

7. Type exit to leave disk part

Now, you can't actually acces this drive through file explorer but you can browse it's content from the ‘Browse’ button from Task Manager -> ‘Run New Task’ . Not sure if it'll let you delete anything but then you can use this:

1. In the elevated cmd prompt, type: Z: and hit enter, where Z was the drive letter you created.

2 .Type dir to list directories on this mounted EFI partition

If you are in the right place, you should see a directory called EFI directory

3. Type cd EFI and then dir to list the child directories inside EFI

4. Type rmdir /S mint to delete the mint boot directory and repeat with all the distros

Do NOT touch those: 'Boot' and 'Microsoft'.
[Windows 11] Ch0nGu1:
Try Grub2Win or other option like that.
[Windows 11] schrottpot:
I have a dual-boot system Win 10 and Win 11, plus MX Linux. I often try out other Linux systems,

but come back to MX-Linux again and again.

If I remove Linux I will delete the partition, which has already been described here. The remains that still appear in the UEFI are removed as follows.

I start with a Linux live stick and start the shell.

here is the source for the tip https://privat.albicker.org/blog/2018-08-25-uefi-eintraege-loeschen.html

$ sudo efibootmgr

provides all entries

$ sudo efibootmgr -b 0000 -B

Deletes the entry 0000

$ sudo efibootmgr -o 0007,0004,0005

you can edit the boot order.

Try it at your own risk
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnievh:
Good day!

So i was wondering, is there a way to repartition the oneplus one system partition so that it takes some space from the /sdcard partition (like 1gb extra) so it would allow for bigger gapps files and maybe even android 12/13?

Maybe if someone would make a repartition script (like some exynos 7870 devices) that would open so much possibilities.

Have a good day and thanks!

Ceva rom personalizat special pentru jocuri mai puternice exista?

Mod edit: English please!

Google translation:

Is there a custom rom specifically for more powerful games?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
Hello i hope you are well, this is my first post after a long long time i lost my xda and email acc so im writing from my new profile.

I recently got the S23U 512GB the green color something like a month after the release and everything was superb until recently i noticed the camera rattle and by camera rattle i don't mean when you shake it like in some cases i saw on YT and read on google, i read almost everything i could find about previous models and understood the concept of the "camera rattle".

My case i think is a bit different and what bothers me is that i'm the only one that uses-using the phone the phone didn't fall no drop whatsoever so my issue is that the camera moves like if you put a small object (coin,small rock) in a tin can and move it (not shake it) in the same maner i feel something in the phone moving for example phone is in portrait i tilt it to landscape i hear and feel it move and make a "tick" also when the phone is on the table i pick it up and tilt it to my ear to answer a call i hear and feel it the same way and its driving me nuts.

The cameras work fine and when x10 is active the noise-click is harder to notice but is there but i have no issue with them, do you have any idea about this dont know what to do as in my country i don't have samsung retails and don't know what to do...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Ignore it or have it serviced. Not much else you can do...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
By service what do you mean? Replace the cameras?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Yes. I would ignore it. Close the cam app when not in use. The cam normally should not be active when using the phone. wtf?

Try in safe mode to try and rule out a rogue 3rd party app.

Try clearing the system cache and cam data.

Try a factory reset. You can try reflashing it but doubt this will resolve it. Contact Samsung.

The micro motors used for optical image stabilization normally make slight sounds.

Never been aware of them on my Androids though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KruseLudsMobile:
The lens is supposed to move - that is how it is able to still take very clear focused photos while the user is unable to hold it very still or if the person using the camera is in a moving car on a bumpy road, etc.

I just listened while I shook my phone (S23 Ultra 512GB) a little bit - and I do hear a little 'rattle'. I have never noticed that before.

I am guessing but I would think that all the extra attention given to the camera lately (as it was considerably improved in a lot of ways) that they also updated the ability for the lens to be more sensisitve to movement, and that noise is probably the lens banging against the sides of it's lieelt enclosure. I am surprised however that if that is the case, they did not take this into consideracion and place a softer barrier around the lens so that when it bangs around you would not hear any noise - maybe they missed that in the latest go-around with their overall design changes - ?

I treat my phone like a piece of jewelry almost, only put it into a pocket that is empty, etc. - and so in my case I do not think there would be any issue as it is so very expensive I treat mine with kid gloves. I just got this phone to replace a Note 10+ 5G 512MB that had just started to fail - which I was surprised to note that I had it for 5 years - but got a great trade-in deal for it as it still looked like new.

Now that this has been brought to my attention I will also never really want to shake it at all and might sometimes worry about that... sheesh! (ugh!)

Thoughts - is this the cause of the slight 'rattle' noise? The best way is to walk inito a store where they have doisplay samnples - and just shake one.... :-) If i remember I'll do that one of these days and report back here -
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Um... it hasn't been 4 years yet for the N10+; got mine a month after they became available (N975U), it will be 4yo in October.

Shaking the phone won't damage the OIS but a high G impact might. ALWAYS use a good case like the Zizo Bolt to protect these heavy corner hitting, face planting happy phones from falls.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
I tested 2 in store and none had this but neither had mine before. As for case i have the UAG plasma case paid 45$ and i think its tough enough but my cameras are fine but sounds crazy the rattle.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
Need to mention no need to shake the phone just by moving it left to right or 90° it clicks-rattles
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jake.S:
When not using the phone the camera lens will be lose. When I shake my s23 ultra I can hear lose parts from 100x camera lens and this is normal to hear when your not using the camera at all. But once I activate camera app and use x10 the rattle noise goes away.

You are hearing this noise because lens that moves forward and backwards between chip layer and mirror layer is light weight and when camera app is off or not on x10 then you will hear rattle noise from bottom camera lens. By just placing the phone to your ear or shaking it.

So this is not an defect and has been there since s20.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Lol, that's disconcerting. You'd think it have a "parked" position. Nevertheless it's likely normal.

On all my Canon lens with OIS the only time, if ever, you hear them would be when active. On my N10+'s I have never heard a peep from the OIS no matter what I do. Anymore when Samsung makes "improvements" I cringe. It didn't use to be like this...

Hey Sammy how about you design a flagship with the sub chassis layout like the S22U with the spen on the RIGHT side, expandable storage and efficiency that exceeds the N10+'s per mAh. Instead of jamming in heavier, larger, higher capacity batteries that get less SOT than the N10+ (1N975U1).

Can you do that? Or you just going to keep making lame excuses for your dropped balls?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jake.S:
Reason why you didn't hear it on n10+ it is because that phone did not have a 100x zoom lens so which is square one.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
It has OIS lense though. Really the cams on the N10+ are more than adequate. Samsung's increasing use of AI image processing is unwanted by many. The airbrushed plastic fb girls love it. Fking toon world. Like I said about Samsung's "improvements" nowadays. They read like a cheat sheet...

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
I understand this but my phone didnt have this at the begining maybe first 2 months got thr phone on 27th february. Also when i compared it to 2 demo devices rattle was diferent mine id now so sensitive slightest left to right or right to left movement and you hear it maybe it is something with an update issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] otonieru:
If you live in a country where claiming warranty is as easy as getting meal, i suggest to just get a replacement.

I always know that any smartphones that have OIS will have tiny rattle sound when shaked, but not to the point you can hear it, unless you really shake it close to your ear and you really trying hard to listen it,

i just shake my P7P and S23U, and if any, my Pixel "rattle" more. And by "more" , it still hardly noticeable.

So, if it really that noticeable, i suggest return it and get a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KruseLudsMobile:
Just walk into a store that has the model on display and shake it. If it's the same sound you have no issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mrxyzl:
I can confirm mine has rattle sound. I think it's normal and appear when I really shake the phone. Not when I rotate from portrait to lanscape
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
I have no warranty... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Meh, just ignore it for now. It may never cause any operational issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
I didnt notice any issuess until now just the annoying rattle, i found on aliexpres the periscope cam x10 for 27$ what do you think about the replacing the camera?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
I would leave it alone. The replacement part is questionable and even if it is good you may damage something else trying to replace the cam. Haven't seen the tear down for this model but Samsung cams tend to be a bit buried and not near as easy as a battery replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jed!Master:
the rattle is normal! I'm a Samsung tech repair. don't replace it or it will be deemed out of warranty if replaced with 3rd party part
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
But i didnt hear it before and also i didnt hear the same rattle on 2 demo devices..

What do you think about that?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jed!Master:
that's cause you wasnt shaking the phone looking for the rattle perhaps, but as much as I can disclose it's normal. Only Pixel 7 & 7pro have that as a manufacturing defect as it cracks the backglass
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
I dont know and its a bummer as i shelld out 1300€ for this phone 512gig...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jed!Master:
you and everyone else are overthinking this, just stop. Leave the internet alone for a few days relax or replace it with a 3rd party part and when you need warranty service we will void it lol I mean it's self-explanatory, leave it alone. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Aleks95:
i think its fake, because in a site (idk if its legit) the periscope camera costs around 90€.

Btw where can we buy legitimate parts for the s23 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] metko.x360:
Idont think there is a fake model of that type of camera check it out on Aliexpress
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Y'all nutz? Replacing the OEM cam module because it's making noise but otherwise is functional on a brand new flagship?

Either return it, have Samsung repair it or leave it be.

Last thing you want to do is drop in a Chinese knockoff or put a used cam module in it...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iolyx:
I agree that it should be covered by samsung. My friend's S23U camera rattles a lot to the point you can hear it just while walking and filming. Went to a store to compare it with the demo phone and while you can feel the camera moving in the housing which is normal, there was no noticeable noise and once the camera app was open the moving stopped unless you shake the phone but on my friend's phone the noise is noticeable when tilting the phone gently even when camera is open. The noise is only stopped when in 10x zoom but it should not be noticeable whenever the camera is open so it will be replaced

Well I Googled and look it has XDA at the top of the list. So thank you for the answer or lack there of lol Insert dog chasing his own tail here :rolleyes:. The thread dated from 2016 does not have a working link for the ROM that I MAY need. Any other suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3r0.13urn:
First, welcome here.

Second, I'm not sure why you have to bring all those statements "I'm not new to rooting, bla, bla" while to me, you're completely clueless, not even remotely can differentiate between rooting and updating your device. If you are really new to some area, take my advice, just don't try to show off. It's not a shame to confess that you don't know anything about it nor have any experience nor expertise in that area yet. Just be honest.

And now, for the answer to your question:

At this point I would just rather advice you to sell your device and move to another new one. Why? There's several reasons.

First reason is, unfortunately your device isn't popular enough to have a community to share knowledge or the works they've been working on. Why? Because a lot depends on that.

Before doing anything else, you'll need to unlock the bootloader of your device. If there's no official manual to do so from Asus, usually you'll be dependent on the community for help, unless you can find it the way yourself. Now, even if you have somewhat find a way to do it, there's second part.

The second part is: the device was released before so called "treble" mechanism implemented, thus giving you another hurdle. "Treble" allow you at least override just the system partition without messing with anything else. Newer devices that were released with Android 8 or above, cmiiw, naturally has it implemented. Why is this important? In case you can't any specific custom roms tailored for your device, "treble" accepts GSI which allows you to try another OS without other heavy duty stuff. Without treble support, literally you'll have to build a complete custom rom. I see Asus has provided the device kernel, so technically it's very possible to do so (although it might lack techpack, etc).

That's all covers about installing roms. Recovery isn't mandatory to install rom, unless your device lacks of fastboot (Samsung) or their fastboot borked (Oppo, Vivo).

Upgrading to another version is different topic. Rooting is also a very different topic.
