[Android Head-Units] deputat:
Hello everyone!

There is a head unit Mignova 7819 on PX5 MTCE and AHD 1080 camera. When connected, it produces a black and white unscaled piece of the image.

In the system settings (boot menu) I connot find the mode settings for the rear view camera at all.

I have installed Hal9k_Mod_4.0_MTCD_MTCE_PX5 firmware.

Has anyone come across this issue? Is it possible by updating / firmware or in another way to make camera work properly?
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] pinkmoon:
For me to continue using my personal phone at work, I've been told that I need to update my OS from current Android 10.

I've finally managed to get LGUP to see my phone - which took forever! Now all I need to do is chose/find the right BIN/ROM... in theory ;)

After looking around this forum, I'm still far from sure which one I could or should use o_O

Any tips/advice, much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

PS I've flashed previous LG phones but it's been a LONG time so am VERY rusty! 😂
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] BiPentHexium:
Recently, I've updated to https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-omnirom-android-t-13-0-for-zenfone6-6z-2019.3999441/ . Everything went fine. Update to A13, root, but then, I wanted to relock the bootloader. Because the warning message was annoying and I've discovered that you don't need to have unlocked bootloader. The main reason for locking was trying to pass SafetyNet check. My last item on tasklist was to get GPay working. So that's why.

Now I've basically bricked my phone. But only „basically“, because I've managed to get out of this by pressing the volume up key, keep pressing it, connecting phone to PC, keep pressing it, release it. Now I'm in some „CSC fastboot mode“. I have no idea what the CSC is, but hey. Better than bricked phone, I guess.

But now I don't know what to do. I've found some tutorials for other phones, but I don't know how more to say that I don't have OnePlus 5T or something else. I have ZF6, so image for OP5T will not work for me.

Context information: I've flashed the new omnirom to slot A ONLY. I get it NOW, it might have been a mistake. I didn't get it back then.

I've used „fastboot oem asus-back“ command to lock the bootloader. Was it a mistake? „fastboot oem lock“ didn't work.

It seems (it says) I've locked the bootloader successfuly.

It probably was not a mistake, I just should've had the same ROM on both slots (why? No, I get that I need it, but…why?).

So, again, my question is what to do next? It seems like I'm basically in fastboot.

Oh, and last thing: it would be super nice if the fix would not involved wiping all my data. How nice it would be? It would save me A LOT of time and A LOT of effort.

Just wanted to say thank you for keeping us updated about this. Just got myself this phone for cheap recently. It still a fantastic phone but shocked that Sony only supported it for a little while.

This allows me to use my banking apps and gpay what do matter to me. So this is just a thank you, as what you are doing matters for people like me.

Its been a long time since I have messed around with android but as I have this phone now may start getting back into tweaking Android.

In ricedroid, I had found that the developer ported stock MIUI Camera and it worked flawlessly. From that time I had been searching all over, never found one.

riceDroid - Browse /lisa at SourceForge.net

I tried to just install the camera file, but it force closes. Everything is fine with this ROM, but its not as trustworthy as lineage. PixelExperience download a download.bin in the background and installs by itself, pretty shady. I feel lineage is much better and trustworthy w.r.t any other ROM's. Only issue is the camera.

KernelSU is different from Magisk that apps can ask Magisk for root but in KernelSU you have to give root to apps, they can't request root like Magisk, press the second (shield) icon at the bottom bar then choose the app that you want to give root to, then enable it.

riceDroid - Browse /lisa at SourceForge.net

Ricedroid in not on XDA, nor its a community where they publish like lineage.

I am ready to put time to extract and make and independent package like and APK + Magisk module or recovery flash for Camera if its possible, just like what they did with ANXCamera

I can do it and post it in this forum.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Nos74:
No clue, but i'm looking for something like that as well
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Trippyy Doee:
I am only asking this question in this way because I have not fully unlocked the bootloader using platform-tools. I have only ticked the option in developer options and I have acquired that in a very unorthodox way so I do not want to risk losing this before I even get to use it as I still have a balance on the phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] yuppicide:
My bad didn't mean to reply here.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I don't believe so, but I can't be sure as I've never seen it discussed before. I do know that in the days of the early Pixels, the oem unlock option would be grayed out if you would activate the device with a carrier SIM card (Verizon) namely, so I guess in theory it might be possible -- if you apply that carrier's update, the system might recognize it and disable the option; but I highly doubt it -- once it's available after activating the device, most likely it will always be available.

The only real way I know of is to actually unlock the bootloader -- there's no way a carrier can undo that remotely/server-side. It will wipe the device to do so, but as it seems you plan on unlocking it anyway (you have it unticked for a reason I'm guessing), it would happen sooner or later.

I do have one question based on the last part of your post; do you believe you can't/shouldn't unlock the bootloader on a phone that isn't paid off fully yet? Is that the reason that's stopping you from unlocking it already?

Yea I'm just worried about the carrier (T-Mobile) finding that I owe money still and then grey the option out again like it was before . And no I'm not worrying about that last part you said.i just don't have a computer ATM lol . But once its unlocked thru the computer it's unlocked . Then after I have to take extra steps to apply big updates. I would have to wait for someone to patch the new update for Magisk to keep root after updating and I've been able to restore the bootloader and return to the carrier without any issues when I'd upgrade phones

That's why when most T-Mo customers get them to temporarily SIM unlock (and therefore give the ability to bootloader unlock), they jump on it, so T-Mo wouldn't be able to take it back.

I could be wrong -- so please, if any member knows differently, please correct -- but you can still apply OTA updates through the stock System Update even if the bootloader is unlocked; it's only when you're rooted that you cannot. There has even been cases where, somehow, an OTA had been updated and applied and root was lost; so I imagine, as long as you stay stock & unrooted, you should be able to "apply big updates" without "have to take extra steps". I mean, you're unrooted right now and planned to stay that way for the near future to not "trigger" the server's of T-Mo, so.....

But yes, I do believe you can't do it without a computer....But if you manage to get it connected to one, I believe you can unlock your bootloader without worrying about not being able to update OTA via the stock System Update. And once you unlock it, you wouldn't have to worry about T-Mo taking it away ever.

And using Android Flash Tool makes it really safe (from hard bricking) & easy to return the device to stock and relocking the bootloader so you could upgrade devices....so there's that....

Trust me, I definitely would have gotten to it back the when I used to actively do this often . Im just getting back into it again since I acquired the option to unlock bootloader . But once I get access to a Windows computer I can do it. my girlfriend unfortunately purchased a Mac and I am not familiar with it at all . But it looks like it forced the update even tho I have that option turned off to auto update .so idk what's so special about this update ..I haven't looked it up yet.

So I said screw it and updated . No issues at all with losing bootloader option . I just overthink sometimes lol
