[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] the_tilted_gamer:
Why is it when I use dsu loader to install let's say android 14 after I reboot it shows the oneplus logo then goes dark and wont turn on unless I force restart (volume up + power)
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Maybe your bootloader isn't unlocked? Either way, there's not much of a reason to use GSIs on the N200 anymore
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] the_tilted_gamer:
Oh ok thanks
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] gggirlgeek:
Why?

When I open the DSU Loader I am offered Android 13 stable, and Android 14 preview GSI's. (The exact files listed here.)

Just for kicks, I tried installing the Android 13 choice (ARM64+GSI), and just got a soft-brick. I held power+Vol-Up and rebooted like the OP. I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet, and I haven't rooted, and I haven't reset my data. Once I do, I was hoping this would be an easy way to update to 13???
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Custom ROMs (LineageOS and PixelExperience) are available for the N200, and the work much better than a GSI since they're built specifically for this phone. GSIs tend to be a mixed bag depending on the device - sometimes they work well, sometimes they don't, and overall they're better as a last resort if there are no custom ROMs availible for your device. In addition, generic GSIs may have other weird issues, such as the status bar not being aligned with the hole punch or certain telephony features not working.

If you *really* wanted to try a GSI, you'd have to unlock your bootloader anyway - GSIs won't work if your bootloader is locked because they're not signed with OnePlus' key (and they used to cause a hard-brick on Oxygen 11, you're lucky you can reboot your way out in 12), so you might as well just flash a custom ROM at that point.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Do whatever you'd like.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
So I turned my Pixel on and the Home screen shows a brown box with the words "Tap to setup" and a Gmail icon. I don't know what I did to get that. I checked my settings but did not find a way to get rid of it. How can I do it?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
In trying to resolve my problem I opened Apps, tapped Gmail, and found "Open", "Disable", and "Force stop".

When I tapped "Disable" I got a warning that Android and other functions may no longer function as intended, so I tapped "Cancel" and backed out of that option.

Next, I tapped "Force stop" and got a warning that the app may misbehave, so I tapped "Cancel".

Then I tried "Passwords & accounts", tapped my google account address, but all that had was a "Remove account" button so I backed out of that.

If I long-tap the message on my Home screen, a "Remove" button appears at the top of my screen but if I tap that, nothing happens and the message remains on the Home screen.

So I fiddled with the message box, swiping it to the right/left/up/down and finally, after 3 or 4 swipes to the right, the message disappeared. When I turn the phone off and back on again, the message does not reappear, so I think that the problem is resolved.

I think..... :unsure:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
Only other think I could think would be remove and re-add the account, but hopefully it is fixed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] otonieru:
maybe try to clear your launcher app data.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Just as a matter of curiosity, how does one clear one's launcher app data?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 5.1:
Hi,

Go in Settings > Apps > and look for the launcher app.

Force stop it and go in "Storage & cache"

Click: Clear storage > done.

You may click on the 3 dot menu on you upper right corner and tap on "Show system" if your launcher is installed as a system app...

Good luck,

Sébastien.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Okay, I followed your instructions.

After I tapped "Clear storage", I tapped the center arrow on the bottom of the screen to get back to my Home screen. My 4 shortcuts (that were at the top of the screen) were no longer there, and the bottom row of apps "bounced" up and down every 2 seconds for around 10 seconds and then stopped bouncing. This happened each time I went back to the Home screen.

After a few minutes of fiddling around with the cellphone, the bouncing stopped when I went back to the Home screen and so far it has not returned.

Why did the bottom row of apps bounce up and down?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Is what I just described an "oddity" or better asked, has anybody else seen the bottom row of apps bounce up and down?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] flashingroms:
Hey !

I'm posting this small guide for the people who gets bootloops, who can't flashing anything anymore or who gets their smartphone not charging ( after trying to switch the cellphone off it goes to charging screen for a few seconds then reboots, not charging even if you let it on charging the whole day). I had all those issues and I though it was bricked. Fortunately I could flash stock using the latest version of odin but my goal was to make it work using heimdall because, with heimdall, you can flash just the super partition and the program works on linux.

Possible cause of these issues: the heimdall shipped on most linux package managers and even on the official site don't have some patches and my guess is that the tool are corrupting the partitions on a53 and m53 (both have the same model) due to the program not being handling well the partition size even though it completing 100% and reporting no issues during the flashing process.

Simple solution: use a specific patched heimdall version. There is a fork release of heimdall on github, it has, until today, 21 commits ahead of the heimdall official repository, with a commit fixing the way heimdall handles partitions bigger that 3.5G

commits ahead of the official heimdall repository: https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/compare/master...amo13:Heimdall:master

commit that probably fixed the issue: https://github.com/amo13/Heimdall/commit/d8a14b556d9a16d1dc4501c1a1db4bc473efd1c1

source code: https://github.com/amo13/Heimdall

Download/release page: https://github.com/amo13/Heimdall/releases/ (you might notice the version is the same of the package managers/official sites but there are many improvements(commits) on this one)

tip: There are many scripts or tools that uses the heimdall binary to, for example, unpack, replace system.img with your custom's rom system.img then rebuild super.img like repacksuper so it would be good if you replace your non working heimdall binary file, on your operating system's binary directory, with the patched one so those tools pick the right heimdall binary during their tasks.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Is4k:
Hello! I was using heimdall until I got an odin 4 binary file

I don't have it's source code, it's probably leaked from samsung, but hey, it works like normal odin

I've tried several roms with different kernels like soviet, boolx, steriod.... I've tried to remove the thermal controls like I did on my other devices, but Raphael won't keep it's cores' frequency at the higest clock speed. I guess it's because the cpu dynamic scaling stuff in the kernel, is there a way to disable that?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] systmrrr:
hi everybody, i want flashing lineageos based custom roms.

twrp recovery is currently available, but unfortunately, a stock android based or lineageos based, custom android roms has not been released. I can't support development because I don't know coding or have no command of these issues. Can you add a list of custom roms under this topic? Thanks everyone
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] SigmundDroid:
There seems not much, you can limit this device thread to "Development":

View attachment 5928905

There are just two, one ROM, one recovery...

Excuse my wise words but then perhaps it would have been better to look first what's available (as in custom ROMs) and then buy accordingly.

Sounds tedious but I always crosscheck my buys beforehand with

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

That usually saves you from rare and unsupported/unsupportable devices (like those based on Mediatek SOCs).
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] sedat2934:

[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] SigmundDroid:
Is that right? I thought, they cannot prepare customs before code is released by manufacturer... slight but noteworthy difference, right?

Whenever I attempt to connect my phone via USB to USB-C or even from USB-C to USB-C using my Windows 10 Laptop, I'm unable to select the File Transfer option. My phone immediately begins charging, and Device Manager does not detect an unknown device.

Is there a workaround to resolve this issue as I would like to place some audiobooks onto my phone that I have stored on my computer.

This has been an ongoing issue for sometime now and I'm still unable to resolve the issue myself. Hopefully someone here can help me resolve this issue as this is the first phone where I've been unable to successfully File Transfer. This feature is important for me to transfer files to and from my phone.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
Do you have the latest USB driver installed? Also using a USB 2.0 port (A to C cable) seems to work best.
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
Sometimes it helps enabling USB Debugging in the Developer options.

Cheers

Tom
[Google Pixel 6] TNSMANI:
Do you get a popup on your phone to choose between charging, file transfer, MTP, PTP etc when you connect the phone to the PC/laptop? If not, you may be lacking the correct drivers.

Also in Developer Options, have you enabled the correct USB configuration?
[Google Pixel 6] bupeapoop:
Thanks for your response. After downloading the latest USB Drivers and updating each and every USB Serial Bus Controller, using the latest USB drivers, it states each and every Driver is up to date.

As you can see in this image HERE, I don't have a USB 2.0 Port; Only USB Root Hub 3.0 Ports instead. Could this be the issue? And if so, how do I go about downgrading from USB 3.0 down to USB 2.0?
[Google Pixel 6] bupeapoop:
USB Debugging is currently enabled and still no luck unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 6] bupeapoop:
Yes I sure do, but whenever I attempt to select between the default option of charging over to file transfer, it immediately reverts back to charging again. Initially, I thought it may be down to me using a generic cable, but even after using the official USB-C to USB-C adapter that comes with the Pixel 6a, and the fact my laptop supports this option, I thought this may have resolved the issue. Unfortunately, neither option allows me to file transfer.
[Google Pixel 6] TNSMANI:
I see that you have an AMD system. By any chance is it older than a couple of years? There was an issue with USB ports on AMD PCs/Laptops some time back which, to my knowledge, was never resolved. Instead, the newer models started working alright.

Check with an Intel machine or one that has USB 2.0 ports.
[Google Pixel 6] roshan2989:
are you using original cable type c cable? used to have that issue then I found out my current usb c (Xiaomi cable) is 5a,it will charge the device but very slow and wont show in device manager ..then i changed to 3a..the issue is solved..

and im using AMD Processor
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
Did you try an A to C cable? You can't downgrade USB ports.
[Google Pixel 6] bupeapoop:
You could be onto something here. Like you've stated, my laptop is older than a couple of years old, and I've had ongoing issues with my Lenovo Laptop and it's USB ports for as long as I can remember. Do you think a BIOS update could possibly resolve this issue?

It's just a little weird why it worked fine with my old Poco F1, but for whatever reason, with the Google Pixel 6a, it doesn't seem to want to play ball.

Could a possible workaround since all my Auidobooks are stored on an External HDD to simply connect my Phone to a newer PC/Laptop alongside the External HDD and copy/paste the audiobooks over if my phones internal memory is detected? If so, this maybe my only option.

Thanks for the heads up though. This is good to know as it reaffirms my initial suspicion that it may be a USB related issue with regards to this laptop than anything to do with the phone itself.
[Google Pixel 6] bupeapoop:
Now that you mention it, I don't think I have if my memory serves me right? Would a simple cable like the one in this link HERE do the trick? If so, I'll order one tomorrow and see whether this resolves the issue. If not, I know it must be my laptop and not the phone that's causing these issues.
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
I don't know about that specific cable you linked. What I do know is that people seem to have more success with A to C cables in general. I'm using an Anker A to C cable, but I don't know what model it is.
[Google Pixel 6] TNSMANI:
I don't think so. If my memory serves me right, people tried every possible solution without success at that time.

I remember reading that it was choosy in deciding which phones to work with and which phones not. In other words, it worked with some brands and did not work with others. I also remember it did not work with OnePlus.

You can try, you have nothing to lose.
[Google Pixel 6] Nidstang:
Why not just plug the external drive directly into the phone? I do that all the time when moving .flac and .mp3 files around -- works fine.

(Though it might depend a bit on the file system the hard drive uses.)

Seeing how he couldn't quite figure out how to even root the device, he probably will need to be guided (or at least pointed towards reading & learning how) to unlocking his bootloader to flash a custom ROM.....

might be tricky as he stated that there wasn't a section for it on the site; I personally haven't checked and confirmed this.....

[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
@Santorini_imob, I have already reminded you of the rules previously in this very thread to post in English. Consider this your last friendly reminder.

As for the inquiry in the quoted post, I'm not sure what can be done in recovery mode for that device. After looking into it (your device, custom rom, root) a bit, it seems that while many obscure older Android tablet/devices are capable of installing custom ROMs to revitalize them (which is why jwoegerbauer suggested it and I concurred), it does not seem your device can/is capable. It looks like the best you can do is root the device. With rooting, you can maybe find some apps or modules that tweak frequencies (like a custom kernel, but in a

very

limited fashion) or particular settings that might improve the user experience (speed). There are some settings even in Developer Mode that makes the UI "snappier" (by lowering or eliminating "window animation") -- although I'm unsure if that option is there for KitKat/Android4.

Using the search function (at the top of the page), it does shows a couple of threads discussing how to root the device -- beware that it also seems many users have bricked the device attempting so as well; please do your proper research if you decide to attempt it.

[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Yeah we've had this conversation before; a sea of juxtaposed files.

Think I'll make new back up copy...
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Unfortunately, Android OS is much different from say a Windows OS where most kinds of formatting ("quick") simply "marks" the disk/partition as ready for all data to be overwritten and thus not visible -- until actual data is written on it (overwriting the original data), the original data remains; which is why data recovery software works in those cases. I can't imagine Android OS works in the same way.

You can't even consider physical data recovery as with HDDs where one can send it to a "lab" and they can attempt to extract the physical data on the discs (in the mid $4 figures at least); I'm uncertain if the same can be said with SSDs or the storage "chip" on smartphones -- but I can't imagine it's even close to similar (considering the fact that SSDs have a limited write capability vs. HDDs) or financially viable enough of an option.
[General Questions and Answers] tamilslvn:
I will tell the truth of what happened to my mobile's accidental formatting which lead me into this situation. It was me trying to downgrade my Android OS MIUI 14.0.1.0 (Android 13) to previous version as you know MIUI is a buggy OS.

Before downgrading my MIUI, I did two major mistakes that led me into this situation.

1) One is thinking that I have successfully backed up my data (which I’m not - at that time so ignorant of me), I was so cocky to meddle with the android ADB commands

2) And the second is stupidly not knowing what would happen to my data in the mobile when I was about to type the command of 'fastboot oem lock'.

Out of curiosity I typed that command because I thought that I had successfully backed up my data and typing 'fastboot oem lock' command will just in case makes up to double check that my bootloader is locked safe and securely. Then the mobile just got rebooted and voila! the android OS – MIUI welcome screen appears, which shocked me to the core.[ I will regret that mistake for all eternity – and a hard way for me of learning a lesson of not to mess with any ADB commands]

Note :

I did not see that coming. Who the heck would expect that a 'fastboot oem lock' command would do a factory reset too. I knew that unlocking would do that, but I would have not expected that to happen during a lock procedure.

Always learning the Android and it’s inner mechanisms the hard way at the cost of my life’s time and memories. I wish this not happen to anyone from here onwards. It sucks. It shouldn’t be like this. Why God, why ?
