I found that android 13 with the fingerprint and cell service eventually worked with the Android 13 Stable GSI, so I plan on using that:

I made some instructions on how to if anyone was curious.

Grab Android 13 stable GSI from: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases

Download ADB and fastboot tools: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools

Install Ulefone ADB drivers: https://gsmusbdriver.com/ulefone-power-armor-13

-> For the drivers, you may need to manually install and select the Android Device driver in Device Manager once in one of the secondary fastboot modes. There are two fastboot modes, one will allow flashing vbmeta.img and the other system.img

-> enable developer options (Tab about phone 10 times)

Configure on-device developer options | Android Studio | Android Developers

Learn how to configure system behaviors that help you profile and debug your app performance.

developer.android.com

-> Go to system -> developer options and allow OEM unlocking

-> power off phone

-> Hold power + volume up until bootloader appears (If you see a menu with three options, select enter recovery)

-> select enter fastboot

-> in command line type fastboot.exe reboot bootloader

-> Once rebooted into first fastboot menu, in command line type fastboot.exe flashing unlock

(At this point you may be ready to flash vbmeta.img (or you will see a menu to select fastboot, if so, use volume down to select fastboot)

-> in command line, flash vbmeta.img from the GSI image folder: fastboot.exe flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

-> Reboot into second fastboot menu, type: fastboot.exe reboot fastboot

-> you may need to hit power key to bypass vbmeta check

-> flash system.img

-> in command line type: fastboot flash system system.img

-> Once completed, Enter recovery from this fastboot menu

-> Wipe Data/Factory Reset device -> Factory reset

-> Enter bootloader fastboot menu again

-> reboot into bootloader: fastboot.exe reboot bootloader

-> wipe userdata: fastboot.exe -w

-> reboot: fastboot.exe reboot

-> Go through setup (or skip everything)

-> Connect to wifi

-> Log into google

-> install google phone and google messages apps

-> Go into Settings -> Network and Internet -> SIMs -> Access Point Names -> Set your correct APN or add one

Enter hidden menu in phone app: *#*#4636#*#*

-> Phone information

-> Set preferred network type/may need to play with to get calls working (I set it to the most bands then it automatically set itself and calls started working)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inte:
Hello,

I would like to change the multiline-capabilites key in HKLM/System/State/Phone to '1' in order to make the menus necessary to control the line for outgoing calls appear. Since the changes will only take effect after reboot, I have to do so. However, after reboot, the menus still do not appear, but the registry key is changed back to '0'. I guess this is due to the simcard, which does not have a valid CSP-entry for ALS. Is there any possibility to make the phone not check the CSP but just keep the entry I set manually?

Thanks,

Chris

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inte:
CSP-override

Hello kulla,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure if your idea would do the trick, and I hardly doubt it.

I guess the registry entry is set as soon as the phone recognises the simcard.

At this point, the phone will either boot the Line2 capable taskbar and menus, or the regular menu, depending on this particular reg-key.

Therefore setting this key later in the boot-up procedure does probably not have any effect on the menu bar, as it would have been already loaded and configured when the reg-script would start.

I rather would like to somehow "protect" the reg-key from beeing altered by the phone during bootup.

There should be some way to prevent the phone from reading out the CSP from the simcard and writing it into the registry. I'm not sure if this is of any help - on Nokia phones, this feature (ignoring simcard/CSP) is called "CSP-override".

Maybe someone knows anything similar for Windows-Mobile?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi, I am about to downgrade my sweet global from MIUI 14 to the latest version of MIUI 12 since I find it the most stable.

At the Xiaomi firmware updater site, I see firmware, vendor and rom.

I learnt that to downgrade, I need to use a fastboot rom. I donwloaded both the 12.5.9 fastboot rom and the corresponding 12.5.9 "firmware".

Do I need to flash firmware first before the fastboot rom? Or can I flash the fastboot rom directly?

And do I need to enable any extra options in the Mi Flash Tool before flashing?

Thank you for any information.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] 3to4:
Hello, I need your help, if possible.

I have a Galaxy Note 8.0 N5120 (LTE Model), which was running rooted stock rom 4.4.2.

Then, I wanted to update it to a newer Android version, and I found RR (=Resurrection Remix) , which is 7.1.2. I updated Recovery to TWRP and started testing (RR 5.8.4 and 5.8.5).

During testing, I changed versions of TWRP, too.

The main reason for testing is that in the beginning, USB OTG was not working, and with 5.8.5 usb otg was working and I was happy!! However, at some time later, USB OTG started not working, So, I thought it must be a harware issue. Then I noticed I had no baseband, no IMEI!! (I must have lost it sometime in the process of testing, because with 4.4.2 everything was working!!)

SO, I did a lot of search, and I tried the following.

First, I flashed back to original stock rom (4.4.2)

As I had "efs.img" (which I probably made with Philz Touch many years ago). I changed recovery to Philz Touch, but could not restore. So, I searched and I found a way to flash it with Philz Touch. (Before flashing I deleted all the folders and files in efs dirtory, and after flashing, I checked that the folders and files were there.)

But, still no baseband, no IMEI....

So, I searched again and I found out that erasing modemst1 and modemst2 could solve the issue.

First, I tried in TWRP (advanced - Terminal)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1

gives "no such file or directory"

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2

gives "no such file or directory"

So, I setup adb in my PC (Windows 7 64bit), and started testing.

1) adb devices

gives "xxxxxx unauthorrized"

On the phone, I authorized and, then it gives "xxxxxx device"

So, I presume the connection is establed with the phone.

2) adb reboot bootloader

The phone reboots but in normal android mode (4.4.2)

I searched again, and I found out Samsung phones don't support fastboot...(I can not use fastboot commands...)

Just to check, I put the phone in Download mode (home + volume up and power on). Then I connected it to my PC, but the phone is not detected.

As adb seems to work, I tried the following.

adb shell

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1

gives "cannot open for write: No such file or directory"

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2

gives "cannot open for write: No such file or directory"

(So, it does seem like adb works, but maybe modemst1 and 2 are in a different location...)

I have no more idea...

Is there anything I can try?

[Networking] V0latyle:
This is a built in security function, it helps prevent a network attacker from identifying your device.

The first three octets of the MAC address are the OUI, or Organizationally Unique Identifier, which typically corresponds to the OEM. An attacker could notice the brand of device you're using, and be able to identify your device on the network by the MAC. Randomization prevents that.

Preface. I'm new to android development, so some moments are obstacle to me.

Sources: https://github.com/gh0stwizard/twrp_device_bv4900pro_k62v1_64_bsp

This is for twrp-12.1: https://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_aosp

About device. There are 2 modifications:

1) Old, 2020, based on Android 10

2) New, 2022, based on Android 12. It has new motherboard.

Issue. After multiple attempts I can't get working TWRP. I've got two situations:

1) Recovery loads a few seconds and I see black screen. Then reboot and the stock system loads.

2) Recovery loads fast, then the device goes automatically in fastboot mode.

Specifics of device:

1) Boot/Recovery partitions are very small: 32Mb

2) Even stock recovery mounts vendor.img (from super.img), vendor.img contains tons of libs/binaries/firmware/etc.

3) On my device, vbmeta does not protect the recovery partition (but boot, yes). I've attached files from avbtool info_image.

Flashing empty vbmeta did not help.

As I understand, the issue is in accessing the vendor image, which is placed in super.img and the vendor image is protected by vbmeta + dm-verity.

Plus, on vendor.img inside of it / is placed recovery-from-boot.p file. This file may be a cause of auto-reboots as I read. But I can't modify vendor.img without breaking vbmeta_vendor.

Do I need to re-pack vendor.img without vbmeta & dm-verity?

How to get kernel/boot logs in my case? Getting any logs would help a lot.

Thank you.

[Xiaomi 13] OberZine:
I use that too and it says I should be getting 6hours SOT, but that's a lie, because I literally have monitored it and end up charging my phone 2-3 times a day.

Maybe I'm doing something completely wrong with setting up my Xiaomi phones, as I've had this issue with every Xiaomi phone.

Or maybe I'm super unlucky?

The stats aren't really accurate.

I had this problem on my 12 pro with A12 but the update on A13 fixed it.

See the side of automatic start and battery restrictions.

If you installed the rom without using first install.bat it may come from this.

Or your battery is faulty, possibly see Hw problem.

And streaming with wifi consume more than data.

Wi-fi Vs Mobile Data Battery Drain: Do Mobile Batteries Drain Faster On Mobile Data Than On Wi-fi?

Mobile data drains more battery than Wi-Fi because a continuous cellular connection must constantly be maintained with towers quite far away.

www.scienceabc.com
[Xiaomi 13] OberZine:
What do you mean by this?

Like see what apps are auto starting?

Let me take a screenshot let me know your thoughts.

Spoiler content hidden.

As you can see from the screenshots, I do have a few automatic starting apps configured, however before you say the photo apps drain battery, I have already tried for a week or not having them automatically start, and it doesn't seem to make much difference.

The rest of the apps you can clearly see that I do need them as I do use a couple of them for work, But I'm open to suggestions.

I do this when changing roms between weekly and stable.

Don't see how, because if I flash back the china ROM I get 8+ hours SOT with the same apps + some Chinese apps.

It's definitely an issue with the china model and the EU ROM. Something in the EU ROM is eating the battery life right up, and ironically, if I put battery saver on, I get 8+ hours SOT. So it must be a CPU governor that's misconfigured for the Chinese model.

There has to be someone else with a similar issue though, otherwise I am just an oddball haha

Wi-Fi consumes tremendously less battery than mobile data. The simple reason for that is mobile data requires a longer distance to travel so it requires more power.

And besides I'm using the most efficient standard for Wi-Fi on this device anyway, Wi-Fi 6.
