First of all a Warning:

don't flash anything that is for Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet) on redmi note 12 pro 4g (sweet_k6a)

Seems to be tempting, did it almost myself, but there are hardbricks out there, that went that way.

he following is very early development version and may result in defects. Your are responsible.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Johnfrag:
Hiho, I have a litle Problem with my A1. I tested the last Evo or other Roms, and the Problem is.

The WiFi connection automatically disconnects every 10 minutes and then reconnects to the WiFi immediately afterwards. What can I do to fix this problem.

Other phones don't have this problem. The WiFi works there without a connection interruption.

I have already tested different Roms, but always have the same problem

Here is a Pic with the Problem. and sry my English is not so good, ( German )

Can anyone help me with this problem? I've tried different Roms but always have the same problem.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
Collection of firmwares for TB125FU (Lenovo M10 Plus 3rd Gen MTK) + MTK Flash Tool 5.2136

For now I only have few older versions as LRSA only gives access to the most recent firmware version, I'm looking into the possibility of scraping older versions

The firmware files are untouched, but I recompressed them to take less space (so I can fit more on the cloud)

NOTE #1: it looks like the firmwares provided by Lenovo only flash to slot A. So if you flash and it seems that it didn't apply, the tablet may be using slot B

To check which slot is active, run fastboot getvar all

To change the active slot, run fastboot --set-active <A or B>

NOTE #2: this tablet

may

not have any rollback protection? Going from 230920 to 230227 (which also means going from A13 to A12) seemed to work for me... but in any case, make sure you have an image for the firmware you are currently running ready in case it turns out to actually have it

NOTE #3: I'm also providing the boot.img files separately for those who want to use them to install Magisk or similar. Make sure you the boot.img actually matches the firmware you have installed!

Currently available:

TB125FU_S100132_240112_ROW (latest, yet to be tested)

TB125FU_S100116_231117_ROW (untested)

TB125FU_S100105_230920_ROW (buggy?) (Android 13)

TB125FU_S100078_230713_ROW (Android 13)

TB125FU_S000164_230512_ROW (untested, found online)

[Thinkpad Tablet General] jazzh:
Thank you very much for this. Any tutorial?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
Same general instructions for other MTK devices

First download and install the necessary drivers (if you install Lenovo RSA it will do that for you),

Download MTK flash tool, download the firmware, extract it

Launch the tool

For Download-Agent, put MTK_AllInOne_DA-resign.bin

For Scatter-loading file, put MT6768_Android_scatter.txt

For Authentication file, put auth_sv5_wt.auth

You can then toggle the partitions you want to flash (especially if you don't want to erase userdata, make sure you uncheck that!)

Plug the tablet in the PC while it's off or reboot it, it should go into the emergency mode, press Download, and wait

Also the firmware images Levono provides seem to only flash to the A slot, I'm adding a note for that in the main post
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
Hello, I installed the Android 12 version, but it goes very slow, I get a sign that says "Serial console enabled Performance is impacted. To disable, check bootloader". Do you know how I could disable it, because it goes worse than with A13.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ComradeWave:
Hey there, for some reason the latest firmwares are buggy and trigger the Serial Console message, there's no way to work around it, i even tried to change Firmware version with no luck. As far as i know, the problem that comes up when this message is displayed is that Developer Options become innaccessible, it will crash the Settings app. The only workaround is to flash boot-debug.img instead of boot.img, i hope they'll fix all of this soon...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
So by installing the Debug version, you can enter the Developer Mode? Because I can not switch to any type of Rom or install Root. Now the question is, how do I install the boot-debug without being able to unlock
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ComradeWave:
MTK tool works even if OEM unlocking has not been activated. You need to install the COM MTK drivers, use the tool with the firmware (load the scatter, authfile and bin) and then select boot_debug.img on both slots, instead of boot.img
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
I wanna try
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
When I set it to install boot-debug, it gives a checksum error. Also, I can only find one place to change the boot.img file to boot-debug.img.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ComradeWave:
My bad, i haven't specified that you need to use the RESIGNED da, or else it won't work. And remove the control of the checksum, in the settings.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
I used the resigned, as you say in the tutorial.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ComradeWave:
Have you removed the checks in the settings of MTK?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
No, I wanna try
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
Sorry for the delay in responding. I have not been able to test what you have told me. I am looking in the application options but I can't find the Check option. I can only find one that says "Check LIB DA match" but it was already unchecked. Could you please guide me and tell me where is the option that I have to uncheck.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
You can just delete or rename the checksum file to bypass it
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
No, if you modify the checksum to take the boot-debug, the tablet itself tells you that it cannot boot because of an error in the bootloader (or something like that). That's why I wanted to know how to install boot-debug without using "tricks" to see if it will let me start.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
Oh, I didn't understand it was the tablet
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amnesia1000:
No, first the application (SP Flas Tool) told me that the checksum was incorrect, then directly modify the checksum.ini file with the checksum of the boot-debug, this let me install without any problem the rom, the problem was that when I wanted to start I got an error saying that the bootloader was incorrect and constantly restarted. So what I want to know if there is a way to install the boot-debug and start correctly, because I guess if the boot-debug file exists, it is for something.

In addition to all that, I discovered that installing version 230227 still shows the Serial Console message, but it does not give an error or close the configuration application when entering the developer mode. Notice in case this information is useful to anyone.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
Added the recent TB125FU_S100116_231117_ROW, also made a telegram mirror (thanks daddy Durov for the unlimited storage)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
In some versions there is this weird .t file format. Such as in this one:

TB125FU_S000164_230512_ROW

Scatter and version files are impacted. Size looks the same, but not readable. Please see the attachment. Any idea what this .t format is???
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
zip refuses to compress these *.t files. I am thinking they must be encrypted - so max entropy.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
That's from one of the firmwares I found online, I have no idea what they are
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
Alright, I downgraded my A13 to A12, using

TB125FU_S000164_230512_ROW.7z

Key steps. Downloaded assistant 6.7.3.19 from here, this specific version 6.7.3.19, not newer:

Download Rescue and Smart Assistant Tool (Latest Version)

Download the latest version of Rescue and Smart Assistant which allows you to manage Lenovo and Motorola Devices from the computer.

androidmtk.com

Did airplane mode trick at the beginning to avoid having assistant update itself to the latest version. Then after it did its check and did not find anything, turned WiFi back on. Connected to my tablet, went to rescue. It downloaded the latest A13 version into this:

C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles\TB125FU_S100132_240112_ROW

Before starting the rescue process, I moved this folder away, created a new folder with the same name "TB125FU_S100132_240112_ROW", and unpacked the older TB125FU_S000164_230512_ROW.7z into it. Also copied a couple of files into this folder from the fresh one, auth_sv5_wt.auth / MT6768_Android_scatter.txt since these are missing.

Pressed start rescue, turned off the tablet, connected it back, the process started. All went smoothly, I got fresh A12 welcome screen. Did developer mode, bootloader unlock switch on, booted to fastboot. Did bootloader unlock, and flashed pre-rooted boot.img that i prepared ahead of time for the same Android 12 version. Booted to A12 again, fresh welcome screen. Turned on developer mode, turned off automatic updates, restored apps using Swift Backup. More details on the rooting here - link . It was starting to download A13 again, I cancelled that in the OS updates.

I noticed A12 does not seem faster at all than the prior A13, I think A13 updates fixed the glitches over time. I like A12 for its lack of taskbar on the main screen, and full stability since it wont be updated again, so no need to mess with Magisk updates into the boot image.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
Alright, my downgrade from A13 to A12 ran into the exact same message - "Serial console enabled Performance is impacted. To disable, check bootloader". I did not like that too much!

So I remembered my Fire tablet MTK days. I went ahead and updated 3 things from the latest A13 on top of A12, preloader, lk, tee using MTK tool. So I am now running A12, with the latest A13 preloader and bootloader. The serial console message is gone! See the screenshot for what got updated.

P.S. Also loaded logo.bin from A13 on top of my A12 version, works fine.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
Is your bootloader unlocked? With magisk?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
Yes, bootloader unlocked, Magisk 26.4, regular boot.img not the debug version. The tablet is snappy, just like A13 used to be. So clearly the bootloader issue is addressed.

It might be after having A13 on the device some preloader config junk is left somewhere (although it should not be!). So putting A13 bootloader back addresses the problem.

Historically, it was tough to run newer androids with older bootloaders, but I actually never tried to use the newer bootloader on the older Android.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
Added TB125FU_S100132_240112_ROW
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
Hit a snag. Did not disable system updates download, so my 12 got updated to 13 again. It downloaded the full A13 package TB125FU_S100078_230713_ROW, and wrote it to the other slot.

Had to re-do the steps again to get back to 12. Basically, used MTK tool to load full TB125FU_S000164_230512_ROW, then loaded preloader, lk, tee, logo from the latest A13 on top of it using MTK tool in the following session (this is to remove that serial console message). Switched slot to a in fastboot [fastboot --set-active=a], and did factory reset.

Also, once the update got online and did the check, it had the annoying red exclamation mark on Settings. So I unchecked download updates in the Updater, and killed the ongoing update. But still did not help to remove the exclamation mark. Ended up freezing these 3 apps using Titanium Backup and wiping their data:

com.lenovo.ota (System Update)

com.android.dynsystem (Dynamic System Updates 12)

com.google.android.configupdater (Config Updater 12)

After reboot the red exclamation mark was gone. All good now.

For reference, here is fastboot right after A12 install, before A13 bootloaders:

(bootloader) build.display.id: TB125FU_S000164_230512_ROW
(bootloader) version-bootloader: P98980AA1-01978403-20230427102604-20230

Here is fastboot for A12 with A13 bootloaders:

(bootloader) build.display.id: TB125FU_S100132_240112_ROW
(bootloader) version-bootloader: P98980AA1-ab94eec2a-20230524172020-2024

Here is my prior A13 bootloader:

(bootloader) build.display.id: TB125FU_S100116_231117_ROW
(bootloader) version-bootloader: P98980AA1-ab94eec2-20230524172020-20231

Basically, it looks like A13 preloader is distinctly different (20230524). Lenovo keeps updating the version string in it, so that's why it slightly changes from version to version.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] marcelo.poipo:
i get this error when i toggle the wifi, and the app closes itself. any help please?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
So you launch the app with WiFi off, then turn WiFi on quickly, and then off again. Then when in the app, can turn it on again. A bit cumbersome, but works with some trial and error.

But really it's not necessary - just do it manually via MTK flash tool. It's quite easy to use. Just make sure to switch boot slot to a in fastboot.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
just updated to the latest version after months, yet i STILL get the serial console enabled :/
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
Which version is "latest"? I am still happily sitting on A12!

You may want to update those files I mentioned using the prior ROM. Maybe they left some debugging stuff in there.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DerivativeOfLog7:
Updated from 230920 to 240112 using mtk flash tool in download only mode, with everything but user data checked, and without relocking the bl or doing a factory reset in between... Perhaps you did an extra step that I'm missing to remove that damned serial console?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bibikalka:
Wait, I am running A12 with A13 bootloaders. I am not running A13 with A13 bootloaders. Try to grab bootloaders from another A13, and replacement just those. For example, bootloaders from this version - TB125FU_S100116_231117_ROW.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] ggkameleon:
Hi ! I have just buy a S23 256go and stay the shipment.

But what is the real battery life ? SOT ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23] avipars:
It honestly depends on how you use it.... 5G or not, how much you check the phone and what apps are installed
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
5G is useful for high rate burst transfers in areas with good reception. Otherwise it's a battery hog that's not needed.

All Samsung's should be hand optimized for best SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Olegdidi:
Tell me, does anyone have GPS working in this model? My location is determined only when the Internet is on. Through the GPS TEST application, it does not see satellites at all, even on the street in the open air. The official service confirms that this model has GPS.

Samsung galaxy tab s9 fe (WiFI only)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] power_book:
I am having similar problem. Only get location service after restarting tablet for a few minutes. Then no location service in "Weather app". No GPS fix in GPS test app, too.

I complained through Samsung Member app. Hopefully get fixed in next firmware update.

Also I noticed that Tablet drain battery pretty fast during standby (about 20% battery drop over a day).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] alan87:
Got the device for almost 2 weeks now, I am having the exact problems on the location service and heavy battery drain during standby (1%/hour or 8-10% overnight, did all the recommended solutions/safe mode/offline findings/etc but still having the same battery drain)

This is quite disappointing, as I have the same setup on my previous S7 FE which is draining 1-2% overnight.

I complained through Samsung Member, but got told to send it to service centre which is kinda disappointing.

Any solution to these issues without sending it to service centre?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Olegdidi:
Hi ! I just received a response from the local Samsung office - engineers confirmed bug in the firmware, a fix is being prepared for December.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] power_book:
Someone in Italian Samsung site noticed downloading update through SmartSwitch program (PC or Mac) can fix GPS problem.

I just tried that and Firmware is updated to X510XXU1AWJ8/X510OXM1SWJ8. GPS is fixed and no more crazy battery draining. If you don't want to wait for January OTA One UI 6.0 update, you can fix it now with this tethered software upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] power_book:
OTA One UI 6.0 update fixes all the problem (GPS or Battery drain).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Anghirrim:
Hey, just bought a S9 FE Wifi. Super happy with it and I confirm, good GPS fix with GPS cell only, and no apparent battery drain.

Seems like a good device so far once debloated.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] fantasturk:
I installed LineageOs 20 ROM on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro device and rooted it with Magisk. I hid the Magisk application and added the Galaxy Wearable and Galaxy Watch5 Manager applications to the rejected list via Magisk. Even though I have done all these, when I try to pair my smart watch with the Galaxy Wearable app, the pairing is interrupted between 86% and 90% of the time.

Based on my research, I installed the Magisk GoogleSpoofForWear module and restarted my device, but the pairing is interrupted in the same way. I'm looking forward to your help on what I need to do to pair with my device.

[Update on 2023.11.28]

Armbian has official support for xiaomi pad 5 pro now: https://www.armbian.com/xiaomi-pad-5-pro/.

Armbian's release has kernel 6.6.1.

And here is a not-yet-released build with kernel v6.7-rc2 which adds usb role switch and typec pd negotiation: https://github.com/amazingfate/armbian-xiaomi-elish/releases/tag/20231127-0922

====================================

Pull Request: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5856

Flash Guide: https://github.com/amazingfate/armbian-xiaomi-elish/wiki/Flashing-Guide
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] siamese007:
By reading the guides in your link, this seems to me the ROM is gonna make the Pad 5 Pro to be Linux Desktop. Very interesting concept. Wish there is the ROM for Pad 5 Pro 5G as well to keep 5G capability intact.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] amazingfate:
Most work is done by Jianhua from postmarketos. I just bring his code to armbian's build framework. 5G part is more complicated so I wish someone could get it work on mainline Linux. It is difficult for me and I only have the pad with wifi.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] siamese007:
My gratitude for your sharing anyways. This ROM will bring many possibilities for the device.

I wonder if the OFRP in the guide can be used with Pad 5 Pro 5G. The most interesting part that really enlighten me is resizing userdata partition. This will expand the system partition for installing bigger ROMs, correct?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] amazingfate:
I guess pad5 pro 5G can use OFRP of pad 5 pro, but it's better to confirm it from its author. System partition is small for general Linux distributions, that why I guess postmarketos choose alpine as their base. Resizing userdata partition will create a new big partition for Linux, and we can dual boot Linux and Android in system partition.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] bL00R:
Wow, great work!

Armbian has much better support than Alpine/postmarketOS, so looks very promising.

Just tested your prebuilt images, works pretty well!

Can you please also include CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC kernel config in the next builds? I want to test FEX-Emu and try to run some x86 apps
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] amazingfate:
Try this kernel image deb and reboot:

sudo apt install ./linux-image-sm8250-arm64_23.11.0-trunk_arm64__6.5.9-Sd0e4-D0000-Pbe22-Cfbe4Hfe66-HK01ba-Vc222-B1743-R448a.deb --reinstall
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] siamese007:
May I ask how to assign the new big partition after resizing userdata partition into super partition? I wish to expand system partition in super partition so that I can install bigger GSI ROM onto system partition. Right now many GSI ROMs are bigger to fit in system partition.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro] amazingfate:
I don't know if that is possible.
