Greetings and good wishes, you might be a lifesaver (well, phonesaver).... in case I fail to tag this post, would you be so kind as to message me. Do I have questions.......am trying to copy/paste here from the thread I started 2 days back.

Many thanks in advance

EDIT:

Got it....thread name: Those who ordered from Giztop

Regards to all,

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but somebody has to do it. Waited a loooooong time and reviewed all--I mean--every single possible Asian shipper before deciding on GIZTOP. Placed my order June 20, 3023 for a Vivo X Fold 2. Got an unexpected email from "Sandra" saying "I've authorised the shipping team to send your phone out immediately".....so far, so good. Phone arrived on July 3 nicely packed, beautiful device......but people, I don't speak Android in Chinese. I mean, I specifically chose GIZTOP because of the reassurances "comes with Google pre-loaded!" "No worries if you don't like return in 14 days!" "Your satisfaction matters to us!"........but here's what I found. Immediately, as in July 3 sent correspondence directly to "Sandra" requesting GIZTOP's help. Offered to ship the phone back using business insured FedEx shipping. Duplicated the email to support@giztop.com and through live chat.

Nothing. No "we respond to all emails in 24 hrs". Thus began an endless round of correspondences--actually, I should say endless one-way river of correspondence, minimum two per day to three separate GIZTOP emails, for the next week. Still nothing. After that, took the drastic step of telephoning the store during Shenzhen business hours. Each day. For the next 3 days. By this time was up against the 14 day return deadline. These, er, *businesspeople* gave me no choice (yo, hate the game don't hate the playa). Thank you, AMEX Business Platinum purchase protection for coming to the rescue...one phone call and "Sandra" "GIZTOP" "Chen Jie" et alii found out it's not nice to pick on a mouse that roars.

True this is.

[EDIT] ok y'all be nice....longtime XDA Forums admirer but never had the confidence to post. So this edit comes *after* discovering the dedicated X Fold 2 thread (sorry, rais &sd_shadow, still not quite got the hang of this). To recap the story, I now have a brand-shiny-new Vivo X Fold 2 that I can't bear to give up but also can't use as *I *don't *speak *Chinese *ROM. May I say again I am far from a tech expert. Any sympathisers out there, would *somebody please* contact me out of the goodness of your heart and abundance of your expertise?? And if that ain't enough, I'll make good on your time and effort with a donation. Requesting help to flash the phone with a custom ROM and install Google services and no, not confident enough to do this solely from online instructions.

Thanks and good wishes to XDAEverybody,

I also got my phone from Giztop. Even though they installed play store, I could not login. I just reset the phone and followed the instructions from this thread to install play store and Google services. Then transferred everything from my fold 3 to this one. Everything works. Had to tweak notifications and battery settings to get all the notifications work properly. There are very few nuances now, but I am liking the phone compared to fold3. I am using the "trial software" path and I get updates every few weeks. Most of the time the trial software fixes some open issues, but the last couple of them have created issues with the phone unable to make any calls randomly. A reboot fixes the problem but annoying.
[Android General] salahakar:
Would you please permit to reach me directly, as (if you read the rest of my post) I am simply NOT able to do anything with the phone and I hate to relegate it to a $1500 paperweight? Thanks so much in advance, kindly see below highlighted:

thank you, thats a deal breaker for me unfortunately , i constantly open 3 to 4 aps in my zfold 2, i tried honor magic v2 , had to return it because of the software. man i really wish samsung step up their game, i have been holding on upgrading, waiting for a bigger outer display screen. also i tried google pixel, has to return that as well. poor battery life and poor performance on playing game. waiting on one plus open is my last hope.

Greetings again, I'm making this last attempt in hopes you will respond. Hereafter shall conclude you (incorrectly) take me to be a scammer of some sort.

hi is it possible to.root this device i have this phone and i am in the USA
[Android General] gkarkala:

[Android General] salahakar:
......ladies and gents, I'm working through setting up a pure chinese ROM (no Google pre-install; no English language anywhere) Vivo X fold 2 that I purchased a month back from Giztop. Ain't no expert, ain't no tech wiz, but what I've learned through excruciating trial and error (thanks to the *incredibly responsive, abundant, timely aid* provided here at XDA by our dear Senior Members *cough* *cough*)......I'm happy to offer in the spirit of free spread of knowledge for greater good.

*quantum superposition; or Schrodinger's cat: if a senior member's not-so-senior-member-ly behaviour gets put on blast for the benefit of newbie members and the meaning still sails right over the head of the (entire) senior member(ship) is that what they refer to as a m-i-c-d-r-o-p?
[Android General] jalen9762:
Please let us know on how that goes please😄
[Android General] salahakar:
delighted to share that it can be done!!

FIRST: go to http://my-passport.vivo.com/#/login on a computer (not mobile device) and create a Vivo account. Do NOT do "enter your phone number". Select the email option, create a password, and tick "keep me logged in for 2 weeks". Your Vivo account will give you direct access to country-specific Vivo support websites and contact information. Use the website pertaining to the country where you reside; if you bought the phone from an online merchant use the website pertaining to the country where that merchant is located (ex. Giztop, Trading Shenzhen = Hong Kong; Wonda Mobile, BluDiode = UK). Under "Support" pick "Service Center" and your country. That will give you options for live chat, telephone support, WhatsApp VOIP support, and email support.

SECOND: number of open-source websites that host device manuals, system and software downloads, tips and tutorials. Here are two that seem relatively safe, if only due to the fact that they are both https secured sites:

https://www.devicesfaq.com/en/change-language/vivo-x-fold2

https://www.hardreset.info/devices/vivo/vivo-x-fold-2/tutorials/

THIRD: Tech expert-hosted Youtube channel: Huge shout-out to @AverageDadofficial (youtube.com/c/AverageDadOfficial). Of all the self-professed "senior" members or tech bloggers (*cough*) on various platforms, AverageDad is the only one IMHO deserving of the title Genuine Expert Truly Willing To Help. He responds to *every* *single* *comment* received, he has reviewed *every* *single* *Chinese* *ROM* *foldable* made, and he is gracious to a fault. I thank him most of all for being able to use my Vivo X Fold 2 in English now. And no, I'm NOT getting any sort of kickback just paying it forward.

Hope this helps. Good luck to you....you can do it! Please ask if there's anything I can do--am happy to try. And to all the Big Experts and Senior Membership:

Peace.

Hey friends, I've been using RiceDroid on my 6t, and I'm wanting to switch to RisingOS, but I don't really understand the talk around partition schemes. Retrofit partition, super partition, I don't really get what those mean. My process for flashing RiceDroid was unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP, flashed OOS 11, then Ricedroid then Finalize, booted once then flashing Magisk. Just trying to get as much correct information as possible before I try anything else since Ricedroid was the first ROM I ever flashed and I can't afford to brick my phone. Also, I was told all I need to do to flash RisingOS is to "Use MSM to return to normal partition, then unlock bootloader, flash OOS, Rising, and Finalize." Would that be correct?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] IrogSinta:
The iphone has a calculator that switches to scientific mode when you turn the phone sideways. This is pretty cool because there are many times when I'd start using a calculator and partway through I'd realize that this would be easier on a scientific one. It would be nice to just rotate and continue your calculations instead of switching to scientific mode and restarting your calculation. Is there something similar out there for us?

[Realme GT] oxal44:
I am a Xiaomi EU user, however recently I have been interested in Realme brand phones.

My question is the following: the Xiaomi EU rom adapts the Chinese rom to work similar to the Global rom. Among its novelties it presents the Xiaomi call app which is very good and other apps of the brand , so I would like to know if Realme's China rom has its own base applications, different from the global ones (google apps) and also if they have any special functionality? Also know the same about the Themes app.

Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone, I'm having what appears to be a chronic problem with the GameSir X2 pro, after a calibration of the triggers, the left trigger stopped working, and it appears to be a firmware issue and not a hardware issue, I'm desperate to fix this and I saw that MANY MORE PEOPLE are having the same problem! Has anyone here who has the gamepad gone through this and fixed it? Someone give me a light please :(
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] sud007:
Same here mate, same. Reddit threads are also haunted by this issue. And to my surprise it started happening since last update only.

Mine is just 2month old.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Skwaaatz:
Yeah, I got the same issue. What worked for me is mapping the M1 or M2 button as the LT button, you can do so using the GAMESIR app. After that, you should be able to recalibrate it back to normal by pressing the LT repeatedly. If it doesn't work, try it out again, took me like five times to be able to make it work. Check on a Gamepad Tester app to see if it's working. Best of luck.

Hi there, trying to figure out why no sound is made from the head unit OR the phone when connected through bluetooth.....Not running Android Auto (disabled app).

Is there something simple I'm missing? 1st dive into these android head units, Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Mekede or Winca or ???

****added hwinfo pics
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
Only solution I've found is to disable Sounds option in bluetooth access on the phone AUDIO and MESSAGE ACCESS. This at least allows the phone to make it's notification sounds while connected to head unit.....phone calls still get routed to head unit.

Doesn't seem there's any working method to have a notification on screen/with sound with this head unit....for now this will do
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
Update......it appears setting the unit's bluetooth Version to AVRCP 1.6 (in developer options) allows for app notifications to sound through the head unit.....No on screen toast etc, but I'm happy with the notification alerting audibly
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
Added info/pics

What unit is this?

What can i do/what can't i do?

Can/how can i root it ?

I've been reading but it is all just a blur of info to me at this point......anyone care to help clear the clouds for me??

Thank you in advice!
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Trying to answer a bit of your questions, as notifications via Bluetooth are also a grey area for me.

Your unit has a fyt manufacturer id of 116. That id is used by YIN, NaviFly , Mekede , Prelingcar, Runningway, NIDYGR, Hengcheng, COHO and a number of unbranded units/resellers (and the list grows almost daily on aliexpress). Pick the one you like ;), but actually it doesn't make a difference. A Mekede firmware (last one 14 March 2023) will do fine.

What notifications do you want?

WhatsApp -> Register your unit under your phone, and it will receive notifications as well. @Clandaries wrote a post about that. See here.

Use the paid version of Tapatalk on your unit and do the same. It can relay multiple notifications.

About rooting: Why do you want to do that? What do you think it will bring?

"What can I do? What can't I do?" :) Wow! This is really a very broad question which can result in thousands of answers. Tell us what you want. That gives us the option to give you more specific answers.
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
Thank you for clearing up some questions i had! It really helps me out. As to notifications, mainly it'd be nice to receive sms messages w/pop up on screen (not required, but it would be convenient)

Root, well honestly I'd like to use viper, i see that it's mentioned that it doesn't "work", that's something I'd like to play with (again not a necessity but i use viper on my phone and it makes a huge difference on vs off.

I think however most of what I'd like to do is run through different firmwares , for instance (not sure if available) but I'd like to try different firmwares with different camera apps, for instance current firmware has a Front Camera app....but nothing to manually view the rear cam....i believe, could be wrong, that some firmwares might even have a camera dvr app built in .....features like that which are missing....i tried a 3rd party dvr app from playstore but they all seem tailored to using cellphone cameras so its hit or miss as to if the apps even recognize the cameras......

Had one app that recognized front camera and it would record, but even switching to reverse would stop the recording and not resume.

Most of what I'd like to do may just be out of range of potential for these units....I'm really trying to feel out the limits and expectations.

Thank you 1000 times !!!

I appreciate you taking your time to answer my posts and helping to educate me on these devices.

I'll be reading back and forth through these post until i feel comfortable enough to start tinkering (and grab a factory firmware in case i mess up 🙂)
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Viper might work nicely on a phone without DSP.

However, all these units come with a highly modifiable DSP nowadays. You don't need Viper (from my point of view).

And indeed, to prevent usage of Viper, you can now only use it when rooted.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Etymotics:
Hi,

Yesterday my ordered Google Pixel 5 arrived - I want to switch to /e/os with this device.

First I need to downgrade to Android 12, since installation of /e/os ne3eds this.

To do this, OEM Unlocking is needed.

I activated Developer mode and connected to the internet via Wifi (no sim car inserted).

Still, the OEM Unlocking option is grayed out and says "Connect to the internet or ask your provider".

But I received this Pixel 5 in original packageing, not used (NOS it seems) and (as it seems) not

tied to any provider.

Am I already lost and this journey ends here...

...or is there any hope?

I searched for "Google Pixel 5 OEM unlock" on this forum but the results combined all findings for "GOOGLE", "PIXEL", "5" and so on.

No chance to find anything related...

Cheers!

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Yeedatoy:
Open up chrome and browse a moment. Install some updates. Connect to the hotspot of another device. Sometimes it just takes a moment for it to become active. Also, check the build prop and make sure it says OEM unlock supported. You don't need root to check....just download a file manager and go to vendor/build.prop
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Etymotics:
Thanks for your reply and the informations! :)

The settings you posted look very much like the output of the getprop command given in the adb shell.

I coulredfin:/ $ getprop

[sys.oem_unlock_allowed]: [0]

The OEM_UNLOCK is greyed out.

I did not find any vendor specific bloatware on the device.

But I found this:

[ro.product.bootimage.brand]: [google]

[ro.product.bootimage.device]: [redfin]

[ro.product.bootimage.manufacturer]: [Google]

[ro.product.bootimage.model]: [Pixel 5]

[ro.product.bootimage.name]: [redfin]

[ro.product.brand]: [google]

Is there a dependancy between "connected to the internet", "sim card inserted" and

OEM_UNLOCK being available?

(Does swapping a sim card between device do harm the sim card / the a[hones data?)
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] rhplusa10:
OEM unlock is only available for pixel5 from Google (directly purchase from Google or Fi).

From other carriers, it is not available.

From Amazon or other 3rd party sellers usually sell locked phone.
