Happy you got everything under control.

I looked at the logs,

When you exit PF, it saves settings, and part of that includes the last device id that was selected, so that it loads it on next startup (assuming that it finds it)

So at the time you exit PF, if a device was not connected / selected / detected, what is saves as device id is null.

On next startup, even if it finds devices, the remembered choice is none.

So one would have to drop down the device list combo and select the device from there.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not and if you were checking for that or not.

When you scan for devices,PF reports the count of devices connected, but I noticed the logs that you were not using the scan button, only very rarely and on those occasions device was detected.

I added a one liner to report count of devices on startup even if the selection was None.

This helps me in the future to be able to tell if one was there but not selected or nothing was found.

There are times when adb / fastboot fails, and one needs to kill the server and try again for it to work again.

This could happen for various reasons (for example if multiple adb servers from different paths happen to be in use, there are other cases as well), but regardless it can and sometimes it does ahppen.

If you hover over "ADB Connected Devices" label, you'd see a tooltip

View attachment 6057890

It help when you run into such issues to just double click on the label and kill the adb server, and after which do a scan.

Lastly, I noticed that the following two modules that you use

displaytweaks

disablegoogleanalytics

Have wrong updateURL configurationm you might want to inform the author about it, otherwise Magisk won't tell you that there are updates.

The URL this is set returns html content and not json.

for displaytweaks, this is what is currently set

https://gitlab.com/adrian.m.miller/displaytweaks/-/blob/main/update.json

And it needs to be

https://gitlab.com/adrian.m.miller/displaytweaks/-/raw/main/update.json

Basically replace blob with raw.

Same thing with the other module.

New Release:

Jan 20, 2024 v6.7.0.0 change log:

Added history to device image selection (Max 16)

#133 Fix for Get Xiaomi.eu print when version_class is missing.

Improved device state detection with retry attempts.

Updated 7zip binaries to v23.01

Added line numbers to Active Pif window and Output Console window, along with an option to sort FP keys for easy visual comparison.

Pixel watches require user intervention after flashing OTA, added popup messages to guide the user for the next steps.

You can now easily save the Active Pif content into a pif json file (filename automatically build from print information, however user can change before saving)

Keep splash screen visible until the main window shows up.

Under the hood improvements and bug fixes, improved logging and refactoring code.
[Google Pixel 8] m4j0r4:
This is some very helpful info, I'll contact the authors from the modules. I did not know about the double-clicking on the ADB button, perhaps I should let my eyes wander off to the general instructions page a few more times, :P thanks again!

How can I generate a support file?
[Google Pixel 8] Koeties:
See the first post in this thread. It's under the "Troubleshooting" section in the first post.
[Google Pixel 8] tosho1:
Attached you'll find the support file from the latest Version (6.7.0.0)

I flashed the January OTA again and didn't get the message about a slot both active and inactive anymore.

But there's still another issue. When I try to download the firmware all looks normally, but in the end there is no file. I have do download it manually.
[Google Pixel 8] badabing2003:
Two things to check.

1- Downloading takes time, and the file only appears when the download completes

2- Make sure you have permissions where you're saving to.

Other than that I don't know what to say, I don't see any errors and it works here, so can't even reproduce the issue.
[Google Pixel 8] tosho1:
Yes, you are completely right. I was just impatient. With just a 100 mBit line it takes a while. I guess I was mising some progress indicator (maybe a nice feature to have). Sorry for the noise.
[Google Pixel 8] badabing2003:
Maybe one day, though not trivial with background downloading.
[Google Pixel 8] tzyoong:
Trying to flash twice to both A and B slot using the OTA method. However, it failed during the sideload with error 7

I tried using fastboot method to flash to my inactive slot and it works but when I try to switch slot. It still shows that My device is in ERROR state.
[Google Pixel 8] badabing2003:
You've done everything right, and the way you proceeded and the steps you took would be exactly what I would have done.

The issue is, when sideload flashing stops at 47% instead of 94%, the flash is no good

...
serving: 'C:\Users\REDACTED\Downloads\shiba-ota-uq1a.240105.004-bdf10181.zip' (~46%)
serving: 'C:\Users\REDACTED\Downloads\shiba-ota-uq1a.240105.004-bdf10181.zip' (~47%)
Total xfer: 1.00x

I don't know all the conditions that cause this, and it has happened to me as well, and it doesn't matter if you flash with PF or if you sideload from command line.

It definitely happens when you are trying to flash an older OTA.

But in your case, that is not the case, you are flashing the correct version (not older)

And it happened on both slots, not just one.

It is a curious case, I don't know what to tell you.

One thing you could try.

1- Cancel OTA from the Device Menu

View attachment 6059786

2- Flash Factory to both slots

3- Flash OTA
[Google Pixel 8] badabing2003:
Where did you see this, I don't see it in the logs.

Did you at some point applied different ROM / Kernel that might have changed partition layout?
[Google Pixel 8] tzyoong:
I saw the ErrorCode on my phone screen during the sideload process.

Actually I did applied for beta program, but I un-enroll after that (didn't applied the OTA yet). Could this be the problem?

I'll try the method you mentioned previously when I have time. Thanks for the reply.

Update:

Just a simple Cancel OTA and reflash using OTA will do. I don't have to use fastboot.
[Google Pixel 8] badabing2003:
Well it looks like there was something done by the beta even though you had cancelled it, that's why the ota is not able to install.

Cancel ota button will clear a previous ota, but i honestly don't know what the beta has done.

If it had done something with the partitions, it might not be enough and that's why i also had added flashing factory to both slots.
[Google Pixel 8] badabing2003:
New Release:

Jan 29, 2024 v6.7.1.0 change log:

Added an checkbox in Pif Manager. Keep All Keys which allows any unrecognized key to be kept in the json file when using smart paste. This allows support for future keys that could be added but are unrecognized today. (Example: KERNEL)

Added Cleanup DG but in Pif Manager to clean up Droidguard cached files. Helps in some situations.

Miscellaneous small improvements.

[Google Pixel 8] badabing2003:

[Google Pixel 8] _allo_:
It works now. I think I may have had to install Magisk manually. But because I flashed a whole ROM using a recovery in the meantime it could be many different things that are different now. At least I were able to flash a patched init_boot.img now.

Hey,

Sorry for my english and sorry if the question is on the website i didnt find the answer,

I have a pixel 7 pro with Android 13 rooted and with the bootloader unlocked, could i update my phone through OTA to Android 14 ? If i can, will i keep the Root and the unlocked bootloader ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] V0latyle:
Updates will not lock the bootloader. That can only be done manually.

You'll have to re-root following the update, though. There are multiple guides in this section on how to do this.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] freddiemac1:
I have a stock ATT Tilt, with the stock ROM (6.0)

I am trying to install SPB Mobile Shell. I have never used the software before and downloaded the trial. Each time I try to install the CAB from my device, it is unsuccessful.

Any suggestions? (And yes, I have redownloaded the software and tried to install it a number of times)

Thanks

where are you trying to install it too? does it say anything else besides unsuccessful?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] punkhawaiian:
Never had this problem, are you using the right version?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] freddiemac1:
I have downloaded it three times from spb's own site, both to my computer and directly to my device. (I don't have a windows machine, so I am downloading the CAB files). I even downloaded the EXE file and extracted the CAB from it.

Each time as I click on the CAB file (on my device), it says Installation was unsuccessful.

Any thoughts?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] diegodargo:
Mobile Shell

Have you made sure to check it's box in the "today" settings page to activate it on "today". Also remember to uncheck everything else on that page.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] freddiemac1:
It's not installed...so there is nothing to check. Just trying to figure out how to install...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
Go to Settings/Today/ Items and uncheck all items on your today screen. Load the SPB onto your SD Card, however when you click it and it then prompts you to the location installation, leave it on Device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] austn0489:
done that and still does not work

Thank you so much. It finally installed....but

However, it is only v. 2.0.0. Anyone know where to get the latest version THAT WILL INSTALL?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] diegodargo:
You can download direct from SPB themselves, or a software provider like Handango lets you download the trial version.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] tony.wheeler:
I have seen the same issue with installations of this too. I found that the installation .cab file was too small and so (althought it 'appeared' to install) it failed. I got round the problem by downloading directly from the PC and then moving the cab to the SD card before installing from there.

This would not account for your failed PC installation but may be worth a go if you still find it an issue.

Regards

Tony
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] dtharby:
Hi,

I had the same problem last night, the CAB would not install from the SD card or Main Memory.

In the end i downloaded the EXE from SPB and installed via Windows Mobile Device Center (old ActiveSync ;) ) and it was fine.

Did you format data after flashing? You need to probably do that.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lev012815:
yes i did that
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Popletenec:
I would wipe and format all, then flash the rom again and format again (not wipe, that will just delete flashed rom)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lev012815:
wipe all and then format data? my storage now is 0mb not showing any folders
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lev012815:
when im wiping everything its just saying the sanme error on the picture
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lev012815:
that is showing after i did what you said
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Popletenec:
Don't wipe after flashing rom, wiping will delete the rom. If nothing works, then just go back to stock rom and start over. I recommend using this tool.

https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/

Don't lock/relock bootloader, just let it flash everything back to stock and start over.

ill try to flash stock rom on that tool hope it works ill update you

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lev012815:
it didnt work is says "failed to write adb sideload"
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Popletenec:
First make sure you are flashing correct version of the rom, download fastboot version from here:

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

and try to flash it after wiping everything.

Also you must be in fastboot when using XiaomiToolv2 for it to be able to collect all information it needs, worked fine for me, just tested it now.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lev012815:
the app itself has automatically search and downloaded the rom for my devices but ending in error.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Popletenec:
Try using official Xiaomi flash tool, select "Clean all"

Xiaomi Flash Tool - Official Mi Flash Tool

Download the official Xiaomi Flash Tool to flash or install Stock Firmware (ROM) on devices running on Qualcomm Chipsets.

xiaomiflashtool.com

Flash fastboot rom with it, it seems like you damaged pratition table, which flashing fastboot rom should be able to repair, if not, then I am out of ideas, you might have to take the phone to service center.

also maybe a dumb question, but did you unlock bootloader?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] lev012815:
yes bootloader is already unlocked

[OnePlus 11] zadarr:
Hi

Can someone, who has already done it and has experience, write a step-by-step instruction how to convert phone from PHB110 to CPH2449 using EDL flashing with single windows computer.

I know that people have already done this but parts of the procedure exist in many places on the forum, that's why I think it would be very useful if the exact procedure, with links to the tools and an exact description could be found in one place. It will be great help for less experienced users, and for users who don't have time to study and search for procedures for hours.

Hi all,

I just updated my ROM to RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe

from an italian TIM.

Prior the update I was able to go to Settings -> Phone -> Band and had a multiple choice in the "Select your GSM/UMTS band" - now there's only one voice "UMTS + GSM".

Before I was able to set the band to UMTS only, that's what I need. Does anyone know how to deny the GSM network band to work? (i.e. I need the phone to connect on the UMTS/3G band ONLY.)

Thank you. :D

BTW otherwise this HK-WWE ROM seems to work very well.

1. UMTS (2100) + GSM (900+1800)

2. UMTS (850+1900) + GSM (850+1900)

3. UMTS (800+2100)

4. UMTS (850+2100) + GSM(900+1800)

[Sony Xperia 10 IV] mr.Kondensator:
Hi. A few months ago I've noticed that my phone battery drains unusually qickly. I usually close all apps, and keep things like wi-fi, lte, gps, bluetooth, etc. turned off when I don't need to use those. Yet overnight (in around 8 hours) when my phone is basically untouched the battery drops about 20%. I've tried diagnosing the problem: tried different chargers, changing battery optimisation settings, turning off sensors, used cpu spy to see if it goes to sleep properly. Finally I've set airplane mode on for the night which resulted in no drop in about 8 hours. So then I've tried disabling 5G, and reconfigured cell network settings acording to instructions gven by my service provider but it didn't solve the issue. I've heard that poor conection to the tower might cause the phone to try to recconect which results in battery drain but in my case it drains regardless of my reception. I'am running out of ideas of what to do about it. I havent yet done a hard reset because it doesn't guarantee to help, and I don't fancy setting everything back up afterwards but I might try it. My question is does anyone experience similar battery drain? Do you have any suggestions of how to diagnose the issue further and what to do to resolve it? I am aware that batteries lose capacity over time but this seems unusually high especially for a device thai is little over a year old.

TL;DR

Battery drains 20% overnight. Send help :(

View attachment 6019986

Edit:

I've done a hard reset, and it didn't help at all. (I haven't even installed all apps that I use before this test in hope that maybe one of those was draining the battery, but it wasn't it.)

[Sony Xperia 10 IV] tbs1:
This is strange indeed. I have a phone from July and it seems that the battery has not lost much of its capacity. After night 8-10% max. You can try to set the GSM range permanently instead of automatically, but there is no guarantee whether it will help.
