[Redmi Note 12 4G] Darth Bidder:
Why did you have to re-flash Orange Fox recovery on step 2?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] chickendrop89:
Try switching slots and/or merging snapshots, this sometimes happens on A/B devices
[Redmi Note 12 4G] peter.xda:
Bad news first: after changing the slot A->B the phone reboots every 5 seconds. Luckily, I could stop this by holding the Vol+ button and thus I was in recovery again. I changed the slot B->A and still no luck, i.e. the phone boots to recovery instead of system.

Good news: I tried to change the slot A->B once again and got the same result as before (reboot every 5 seconds). Changed it back B->A and it booted!

What do you mean by merging snapshots? Thanks!
[Redmi Note 12 4G] peter.xda:
It was recommended in the original post.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] chickendrop89:
Merging snapshots is related to updates in dynamic partitions.

It's an option in the OrangeFox menu

(along with "Reboot, Mount, App manager" ..etc)

TWRP documentation:

In some instances, you may need to merge snapshots before booting Android so that updates are available to the booted Android system.

Usually, recovery will manage this automatically.

However if you run into an issue with snapshot merges, you can try to use this function in order to commit the updates to the dynamic partition.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] chickendrop89:
It is recommended to flash the ZIP, in order to be able to install the magisk addon

it's not required though and OrangeFox will work just fine without it.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] ajradaza:
Wouldn't it be better if the recovery is flashed on both a and b slots at the same time? Thus there will be no need to reflash the zip.

fastboot flash recovery_ab recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery

Got this code from xiaomi.eu recovery installation tutorial for Snapdragon 685 (Tapas/Topaz).
[Redmi Note 12 4G] chickendrop89:
Probably,

but fastboot flash recovery_ab xxx.img is definitely not a valid command.

A working alternative would be fastboot flash recovery --slot=all xxx.img

edit: I have updated my posts to include the command above
[Redmi Note 12 4G] roxous:
Hello I'm getting "fastboot: error: Could not check if partition recovery has slot all" when I try to run the command

fastboot flash recovery OrangeFox-Unofficial-tapas.img --slot=all

What am I doing wrong?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] chickendrop89:
No idea why the command errors out, it happens to work just fine for me.

Perhaps you're using older fastboot version?

Anyway try to remove the --slot=all part and it will work
[Redmi Note 12 4G] puxxi2004:
I use:

works flawless
[Redmi Note 12 4G] roxous:
I tried this and it worked, thank you
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Sayolev:
Yeah i think that is the most safe way to do it,i got errors using the previous two commands.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Sayolev:
Huge W,it works perfectly and its stable.I had some weird bugs when i installed it from the fastboot but after i installed the zip everything went smoothly:)
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Darth Bidder:
Why would you even need to know? This unofficial version of OrangeFox and the official version support both displays anyway.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] chickendrop89:
Goodix display is working in OrangeFox (and other forks) since my October 15. 2023 build, there's no need to check

The official orangefox release is also a fork of my device-tree repository btw
[Redmi Note 12 4G] itzParsaYC:
is there any bugs?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] chickendrop89:
There should be no bugs, if there was an issue, i would have noted it in my github release 👍

How do I flash the recovery, am I to use _a or _b for tapz?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] itzParsaYC:
*tapas+topaz=tapaz (Unified)*

just use

fastboot flash recovery <recoveryimg>
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Stephinnoye:
Thanks for swift response.

Please tell me if this steps is correct

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

in twrp, I will flash Orange fox.zip

@itzParsaYC can you help with Rooting the device?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] itzParsaYC:

orangefox.zip can be installed from recovery and doesn't need format

[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Cylow333:
Surely there's a way to unlock the bootloader of an Asus ROG phone 6 without the unlock tool?

Does anyone know how? And is it as simple as other OEM unlocks
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Andrologic:
It's possible but not simple.

ASUS remove the OEM unlock commands from all their roms to force using the official unlock app. The one they have decided to no longer offer.

What needs to be done is someone patching a ROM to enable those and re-pack it as a RAW or EDL that can be force flashed on to a locked device. After that the device can simply be unlocked with the standard commands. It requires some development work that nobody has looked into yet. It was done for ROG 2.

[General Questions and Answers] splferon:
Hello,

First of all, I apologise if my post is not in the right forum section. I searched, in vain.

I haven't rooted any of my phones for years, as it affects the warranty in France.

This time around, my Ulefone Armor 14 Pro (running Android 12), for reasons I can't fathom, got stuck in boot loop since Friday evening.

I called the shop and they're willing to give me a refund.

I can get access to Android Recovery by pushing the power and the top volume button, but don't know how to deal with my issue afterwards.

How can I browse and backup my data (Google authentificator file, Microsoft authentificator file, SMS/MMS, etc) to transfer them on a new phone?

Can anyone help?

Regards

Steven​

[General Questions and Answers] splferon:
Hello xXx yYy,

Thank you for your very quick response.

I have tried your recommended guideline, but haven't been able to see the phone over the adb-tools.

I do hear (noises, beeps, from the computer) when connecting and switching my phone on the recovery menu, advising there is communication between the phone and the computer.

I can see the Android Recovery menu

(version: Ulefone/Power_Armor14_Pro_EEA/Power_Armor14_Pro12/SP1A.210812.016/1668654515).

I don't really know which choice to select, out of the choices (see pictures, below).

As my network previously got hacked, I no longer enable the USB debugging mode. Would this be the reason I don't see my phone while in adb mode?

If so, how can I enable it, knowing that I'm unrooted on bootloop?

Regards.

Steven

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
It should be obvuious that ADB only works if USB Debugging got enabled on phone before trying to make use of ADB.

I asked ChatGPT: that's the answer

View attachment 5942209

Hence you might flash a suitable Custom Recovery by means of SP FlashTool what requires the Mediatek VCOM driver gets installed on Windows computer previously.

[General Topics] MrT10001a:
Question - is anyone having issues unlocking the boot loader of Motorola devices, from old to new?

I have a few old devices that I need to unlock the boot loader to test some ROM's, TWRP etc. and I go through the Motorola site as you have to. After I enter the unlock code (removing all the (bootloader) and spaces), I always now get "The device is not eligible for bootloader unlocking". I have had this issue before and assumed it was a vendor locked device, but now with more than five devices having the same message, surely they all cannot be ineligible for bootloader unlocking. The CSN code with getvar indicates the bootloader is able to be unlocked.

Is any else experiencing this?

Is it logging in with the same account?
[General Topics] MrT10001a:
Found the issue . It is with the US site. UK site part works as you get the error message, but if you keep trying it eventually works and you get the bootloader unlock code.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kyphur:
Based on the apparent knowledge (or lack thereof) of the OP...

First, STOP... You don't know what you're doing.

Second, as you've only loaded the Soft SPL have you tried simply removing the battery yet?

If not then do that before you do anything else .

After you have removed the battery count slowly to 15 then replace the battery and see if it come on again.

Return here and report the results.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Manino65:
First, STOP... You don't know what you're doing.thank you

Second, as you've only loaded the Soft SPL have you tried simply removing the battery yet? yes,for 8 hours.

I have made a hard reset, VOLUME DOWN and CENTER buttons, then press the RESET button, without success.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kyphur:
Wow, I'm suprised that SoftSPL would do perm damage to a device as my understanding was that it didn't actually overwrite the SPL but redirected to load from a different memory location (where is was actually written to).

Anyway...

I would say this leaves you with one option, warranty replacement. Call your provider or the reseller where you purchased the device and tell them that you woke up one fine day and it was simply dead.

Finally got the Xperia 1 V and loving it so far coming from the Xperia 1 ii

I went into the service menu (accessed by keying *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialler) and find that there is no service tests anymore present, only service info (I used this to track the battery health of my mk2 device).

So the question is, has it been hidden even further or no longer present?

These settings have been moved into the Sony Support app. Also, your phone history is pretty similar to mine!

Trouble is, these tests aren't as extensive as what was available in the service menu and importantly, doesn't show battery health
[Sony Xperia 1 V] mufunyo:
Oh yeah, that's too bad. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything we can do about it since service tests are hyper specific to the phone model, so I don't think you can simply port over the older service menu. Maybe if they're simply locked out behind some sort of factory mode that can be enabled by either hacking the APK or with a Magisk/LSposed module, but I haven't read of anything like that.
