[General Questions and Answers] silverhazesupreme:
Hi all,

I'm curios about the system optimization.

I have a OnePlus 8 and I've been messing around with custom roms for a while and I noticed that custom roms never have better battery life than the stock rom.

In my mind, the stock rom has way more processes, apps, bloat, etc. running that causes a specific battery drain. So by this simple logic I would've thought that bloat free roms such as LineageOS will use less battery as it's way more clean, but that doesn't seem to be the case (I'm referring to same usage under same conditions).

I know manufacturers perform optimizations on the OS, and I guess I was just curios, what type of optimizations are made, how are they able to achieve this?
[General Questions and Answers] silverhazesupreme:
I realise that, but I'm not talking about the phone's battery life with battery saving mode on.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] inflames2k:
Hi,

I have a headunit with MCU version MTCH_MX2_V3.98_1. But now I have the problem that ZLink works only once wireless for Android Auto. After that I have to clean the cache of the Android Auto app on the smartphone to connect again. CarPlay, on the other hand, works fine.

At first I suspected that my smartphone was the problem. However, tests with other smartphones showed that it is the same for every device.

So I tried my smartphone on someone else's head unit. There the connection works. So I guess it is simply a problem with ZLink on my head unit.

Does anyone know the problem and may have a solution? One idea, was to install a different version of ZLink. But the headunit does not allow that.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] jlbooth:
The workaround is to not use the "sleep" feature of the head unit, basically forcing a full boot every time when you start the car. These head units boot up fast enough and better to not have to mess with phone or head unit every time. Rarely have any issues getting ZLink to work on full boot.

Go to Settings...Car...Extra Settings...Shutdown delay when ACC off

I have it set to 30 seconds. This means that the head unit will fully shutdown 30 seconds after key off. This essentially forces a full boot every time I start the car.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] inflames2k:
Hi,

I tried that out straight away. Thanks for the tip. That's how it really works.

What amazes me is that disconnecting the connection (with the radio switched on) and reconnecting it works without any problems. Until now, I could only connect once even when the radio was on. This now also works repeatedly.

Any idea what the cause is? It seems that some drivers are not loaded correctly?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] jlbooth:
I think the issue is a bluetooth issue. They've messed with the bluetooth stack to block us from using certain bluetooth devices to the point of unreliability. So, when the phone pairs with BT, ZLink is not always aware of the disconnect/reconnect thus it can't figure out what kind of device. Just a guess on that.

The moment the phone connects via BT that's what sets into motion the ZLink trying to connect.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] inflames2k:
What I forgot to mention at the beginning is that CarPlay wireless always worked. Only Android Auto had problems.

According to your description, this would mean that the problem with the Bluetooth connection in ZLink only affects Android Auto but not CarPlay.

Anyway, thanks for the quick feedback and the working tip.

The answer from the head unit manufacturer was rather sobering. He said that I should simply use the USB cable. But that was not the solution for me.

After I asked again why it offered wireless and why it didn't work, the manufacturer suddenly claimed that it doesn't

That's why your support here was worth more than the manufacturer's answers.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] jlbooth:
Not surprised. It's ironic that an Apple device worked better with an Android head unit than the Android phone. But since these devices are never compatibility certified, we never really know what we're going to get. Different hardware and probably very different protocols.

Glad to be of assistance.

Hello All,

I'm searching for a way to update some drivers in the OEMDrivers. I manage to find out that it's not as simple as copying the file over... :-( But apart from that I'm missing the direction on where to search. I'm not that far advanced.

As a temp fix, I cooked up a CAB file for the driver I wanted to replace (gpsdriver.dll), but after I installed the cab file and making sure the new gpsdriver.dll showed up, my GPS stopped working? The same for the libgles_cm.dll which I want to try - fixed my TouchFlo3D good as in "Not starting anymore." :-/

I can't understand why this didn't work....

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LlabTooFeR:
You can't update drivers without updating nk.exe because drivers are hardcoded for exact nk.exe and in your situation you are trying to use new drivers with old nk.exe.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mccune:
You can only update OEM drivers if you cook a ROM....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pfcsabre:
you can't just overwrite it-- some of the drivers are written as modules so as mccune said it needs to be cooked, not copied ;)

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] mutants504397:
Recently my phone was almost low on battery i didn't have charger available so after 0% it shows shutting down i left it untouched but after half an hour i put it on charging and noticed its not showing poco logo and charging animation or low battery charging animation.

I really need help

phone while connected to pc shows EDL mode usb ports

(Phone is bootloader unlocked and flashed with twrp recovery and a custom rom named Paranoid Os alpha 1.1)

one more important point to add :

a week back i kept my phone on charge and slept and woke up in morning to find out it does not power on nor it shows sign of life with charger i rushed to shop they said do reballing its common issue head dead or etc but i left the shop and kept on holding power button for 1-2min it started again without any issues like it was never even dead and battery was 97% ...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] atti9935:
They are right, reballing is the only solution.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Georgeknk12:
Our x3 pros are known for the the problem on CPU.

But in your case that the phone is flashed and even thought software shouldn't have to do with the problem u faced so far, I still can't say I am 1000000% sure that the problem is the CPU cause I have seen some wierd stuff sometimes with flashing stuff hahaha.

I would not rush for the reballing if I was you since the phone only did it twice so far.

Let it become more frequent maybe 😁
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Snakeforhire:
Nope, the issue isn't related to the SoC in any way.

Among a few other hardware flaws (mostly limited to bad LCD panels), that "sudden death syndrome" is due to the PMIC (which is basically a specialized chip dedicated to battery management and regulating the charging current, in addition to the built-in controller fitted into each Li-PO battery pack) : sadly, the vayu/bhima series seem to have fallen onto a notoriously bad batch of these controllers that a questionable supplier had sold to Xiaomi (probably for a negligible gain of a few fraction of cents per chip).. 😮‍😡

In essence it means that anyone who lets his X3p phone discharge under a 5% battery level incurs a good chance of seeing his device unwilling to restart after a shutdown or reboot, even after trying to "jump-start" or even entirely replace the battery pack... 😰

Two direct consequences of this sorry state of affairs are that :

- it is extremely risky for an X3p owner to try a battery calibration procedure, (as it implies letting the phone discharge almost completely); at least to this owner here, it seemed like a totally unacceptable risk just to get a more reliable battery % reading... It's much easier to plug it in as soon as I get a chance, and to not worry any further about it.. 🤓

- it precludes the use of ANY kind of Magisk module dedicated to battery optimization (this multiplies the risk of sudden death by a factor of 2 to 5x). So it's best to steer clear from those, fellas... 😧

[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
Hello all, hoping you can help me. Bought a ZF8 in June 2022. Randomly rebooted a couple times yesterday, didn't know anything about that... but today it got stuck.

This phone is bone stock, no mods, locked bootloader, unrooted. I have BABIED it, moreso than any other device I've owned in my life. Rhinoshield case, thick screen protector, never dropped, never submerged, not even really kept in direct sunlight. It's mint on the outside.... of course... this is happening and I'm hardly a month out of warranty expiring...

Now it won't boot up. Just gets to the Zenfone logo and sits forever with the dots running back and forth.

No button press combination allows me to boot to normal "desktop".

Restarting with pwr + vol down, or just vol down after ASUS logo nets the same issue (can't boot into safe mode). After pwr down, I can hold vol up and get to bootloader. Can get to recovery (but adb devices shows unauthorized as I just this week reformatted my computer so I guess I'm not RSA authorized? argh!). Can get to fastbootd but can't temp boot a recovery image (I tried twrp). Wondering what I can do... if anything, to salvage my data. Is there any hope? Perhaps way to reinstall the OS without losing my data?

What will ASUS do for me (has anyone else had this particular issue or with their support team)? Is it likely software or hardware?

It does show in device manager as ASUS_I0006D, so I guess it's not in EDL mode... and I didn't see any text so I guess it's not ramdumping?

Saw a similar but not identical issue that asks to post in ZenTalk, and lots of complaints on GSM Arena:

[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Hi

Booting from the TWRP image should work when the phone is in the bootloader - it does not work if the phone is in the fastbootd mode

Reinstalling the OS should install the OS into the passive slot and not overwrite the data. But you must use the same OS distribution as already installed to be able to boot the new installed OS without doing a reset (including data loss). This is a solution for when everything else does not work.

the --set-active command only works if the phone is in fastbootd mode.

But I would only use this command if everyhingl else has failed - in my experience this command is not reliable and can lead to data loss.

I suggest first to try hard to get the phone booted from the TWRP image (btw.: You must the latest version of the TWRP image to be able decrypt the files in the data partition)

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
Hey I appreciate the thoroughness of your response. However I should have clarified: this phone is bone stock. The bootloader is locked so I can only get to stock recovery and fastboot. I can run certain commands (like getvars), but cannot fastboot boot twrp.img; it gives me an error.

I was reading about EDL cables and EDL mode and was wondering how exactly that works if you've any experience.

If I were able to trigger EDL mode, could I somehow reinstall the OS and while retaining my user data? Is there any way to do this without having a custom recovery?

I'm at a loss here, really... I have some backup codes on the phone for another device that I must obtain as I'm locked out of accounts on my other device.

Hi

I can 't help with that - I never did anything in EDL mode

[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
Thanks for your reply. I saw another thread that says the RAW firmware is included in the A13 opt-in/opt-out and can be installed using the flashall command. I'm hopeful that can work in a way that doesn't destroy my user data (I'm already on A13). If not, at least I have the raw firmware (including the prog_firehose) files I think we need for using other flash tools.

Thanks again for your reply.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
That's correct (and according to some other user installing the Beta image is also possible on phones with locked boot loader) but the installation of a raw image (independent from the OS version) will destroy all data on the phone:

quote from

https://www.asus.com/content/android-13-beta/

And in my experience with installing a raw image (using the script included in the zip file with the raw image), there is no way to avoid this (but I may be wrong)

You could try to flash the partitions on the phone using th image files from a raw image one by one but as far as I know the Zenfone8 does not support "fastboot fetch" so you can not create a backup of the partition before overwrting it. Thinking about it this approach should also be possible with at least some of the partition images in the OS update image for the installed OS version.

Or update the OS while in fastboot (but I can't test if this is possible with a locked bootloader because all the bootloader on all my phones is unlocked). Updating the OS on the phone should not touch the data on the phone

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
Roger that, I did see those notes. I'm fairly certain it wiped my data when I went to Android 13, but the difference is I believe I used the update zip directly on the phone itself and nothing through ADB.

I posted in a different thread (ROG phone I think) because after poking around in the update files for the Android 13 beta, I do see a bunch of firmware .img, and the prog_firehose files. Additionally the flashall_AFT.cmd does have a section of code in it pertaining to erasing userdata. If I'm super lucky (obviously I'm not or wouldn't be posting here hahaha) I can just edit the cmd file before running it and pray.

Alternatively, I can try and put the phone in EDL mode (I see some fastboot oem commands or I can buy an EDL cable) and try and use a tool like MiFlash or QFIL or QPST (still not sure about all those yet haven't gotten to that level of research) and flash individual partitions.

All of this and honestly what irks me the most is I never touched this phone at all. Not like my others that I bricked from messing around with (Samsung S7, Motorola Photon)

What do you think of my plan?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Hi

In all infos I found about EDL mode its written that reinstalling the phone in EDL mode will delete all data on the phone so that is not an optoin I think.

To flash individual partitions you don't need EDL mode -- that can be done while the phone is in the bootloader , e.g.

fastboot flash boot_a boot.a.img

That should also be possible with a locked bootloader (but the phone will only boot from a boot image from an original ASUS firmware image, of course. And "should" because I can not test it - all my phones have unlocked bootloader)

That's an interesting idea. There is no flashall_AFT.sh so I can not test the original script (I'm using LInux only) but I think I can simulate that to check if the data on the phone is still there is after installing the ram image that way.

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
I just tested the approach :

- install the Original Android 13

- install some apps and data

- then install the raw image for Android 13 Beta without deleting the user data

I got the same result: The Android 13 Beta did not boot and asked to do a reset.

Afterwards I reinstalled the Original Android 13 (using the recovery from the LineageOS) . And I was able to access the data on the phone again

On a phone with an unlocked bootloader you can not use the recovery from the LineageOS but you can manually flash the partitions with the image files from the last installed Android OS .

I don't know if that works but it might be worth a try

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
I may try that. I am not super concerned with flashing or unlocking or anything like that so long as I can get my userdata off of it. I *think* I did, but I'll post a new thread to see.

Thank you for your suggestions and I may do that procedure if this fails.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
I give up. I just used flashall_AFT.cmd and let it wipe everything (though I didn't let it erase asuskey... was hoping against hope that somehow will help... copium).

I went ahead and flashed the android 13 beta like you suggested I'll try and update with the latest OTA update I'm just disappointed but what can you do.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Understandable

That's why I always unlock the bootloader on my phones - without an unlocked bootloader, you're usually lost when the installed operating system on your phone won't boot anymore.

But unlocking the bootloader is currently not an option for ASUS phones because the server necessary for the ASUS unlock tool is still down

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
This is true. The scummy thing is you can't unlock the bootloader without voiding your warranty. I think they literally ban your IMEI or something. Unlocking they say is permanent and can't be relocked. That's such an anti-consumer behavior... to not honor warranties, but to also lock us out from working on our own stuff.

To be honest if I had done like you and unlocked it immediately, I feel like I could've at the very least had a custom recovery able to be installed and that would've saved me several days.

Live and learn.

[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] mrspeccy:
I have bought a the Chinese version SM-A5460 with Hongkong (TGY CSC) software (called "global software") installed via Aliexpress. It comes with Google Play services but does not pass DeviceIntegrity in Google's PlayIntegrity. The bootloader is locked, as confirmed in KeyAttestation app, option "ShowAll" disabled, but attestation is broken, as stated by the same app when I click on "ShowAll". The error message reads "This device is declared to have ID attestation support, but IDs do not match or the device can no longer attest its IDs". See the first three pictures.

The device is running the latest TGY firmware A5460ZHS4AWF7.

Also, the device behaves strange when I go to download mode. Usually, Samsung devices display comprehensive information about software, boot loader and Knox status, but in my case this information is missing (see fourth picture).

Any ideas? To me it seems that there is an unusual boot loader on the device and maybe something else in the TEE is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] BlackMesa123:
Have you tried running a logcat when running the attestation to see what’s going on under the hood? You also can’t see any extra info in Download mode if you boot in it from adb, you have to boot in Download mode via key combo.
