Need to patch init_boot.img and fastboot flash init_boot <filename here>
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
No need to patch boot.img for root on mix fold 3
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] gloops100:
All good ! Now rooted ! Thank you very much !!!

Now I need to fix issue with Google Wallet...
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
What's the issue ? If it's not passing safetynet attestation then download safetynet module for magisk and that should fix it.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] gloops100:
I've installed Safenet fix, but there is always the issue with CTS profile.

How to bypass it ?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
Release v2.3.1-MOD_3.0 · Displax/safetynet-fix

SafetyNet & Play Integrity API workarounds for Magisk - Release v2.3.1-MOD_3.0 · Displax/safetynet-fix

Try that version of the fix. I'm using the one I posted. Reboot after installing the module through magisk.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] gloops100:
Thank you !!! Working fine ! :)
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] gloops100:
One other question to avoir issue ,

What is the process to install an OTA update with Root ?

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] gloops100:
Great ! Thank you very Much !!
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] knives of ice:
it will only show if phone is unfolded. I learned hard way back in the day, if closed nothing appears constant boot loop. just unfold
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] TBLJ:
Thank you so much! It was successfully rooted!

Just patch "init_boot.img", flash to "init_boot" and it will work!

No need to patch "boot.img", no need to flash to "boot_a" or "boot_b".

fastboot flash init_boot <init_boot_magisk_patched_filename>

fastboot reboot
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] ptclik85:
Hello everyone, I have researched this forum and the mix fold 2 forum, and I'm still at a lot with step-by-step instructions on how to root using Magisk or TWRP. I'm not even sure where to find all the files needed for the modules. Could someone who has successfully rooted and has the modules working on their Fold 3 please create a step-by-step tutorial and provide the necessary files to have a functional rooted device? This would be greatly appreciated!
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
The magisk modules are all on XDA. Search in Google with the name of the module and XDA worked for me to read about each module and how to install it.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] ptclik85:
Took your advice and I was able to find the necessary files needed to root. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem. So after patching the init_boot.img, I flashed it via fastboot flash boot command. I also flashboot flash the original init_boot.img. I know how to get back to the stock rom, but everytime I try to attempt root again, I get the same issue with getting stuck in fastboot. What am I doing wrong?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
The command is....

Fastboot flash init_boot (filename here)
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] ptclik85:
Appreciate it, but I had already figured it out.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
Not sure what is going wrong. Are you copying the init_boot from the elite rom and not the original rom. That's all I can think of.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
Also try

fastboot reboot

To get out of fastboot mode after flashing the patched image from magisk.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] ptclik85:
No, I was using the wrong command in the terminal. I kept flashing "boot" instead of "init_boot". I'm officially rooted. Just have to figure out what modules are updated and won't crash my device. Thanks again
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] knives of ice:
can you please tell me if the root process is the same for Elite if we are still patching init_boot ? I'm just making sure since many other Xiaomi devices don't patch that file. I know its patched for stock but is it still the same patching init_boot on elite?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
That's what I've found so far. Rooted each time I update the ROM with the init_boot.img patched file from magisk
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
Reflashing the boot.img file with the command

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] nmhusa:
Gotcha. Good luck
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] knives of ice:
oh my god, I have no idea what went wrong but it didn't work. why would I get a volume full message? I have almost nothing on this phone. I'm not stuck in a bootloop or anything though but no idea why it failed?

target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes

sending 'init_boot' (196608 KB)...

OKAY [ 5.889s]

writing 'init_boot'...

FAILED (remote: Error flashing partition : Volume Full)

EDIT - haha ok I think I figured it out. I used mi mover to send all my files from the Fold 2 to this new fold 3. I had no idea I still had the magisk file I patched from my fold 2 in the downloads folder, but I did. I tried to flash that file. So lucky I didn't get boot looped
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] soysauce91:
Sorry I know this was months ago, but how were you able to access phone with the screen still being black? My Fold 3 is also not able to go into fastbook and doesn't turn on.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] gloops100:
Sorry for the late answer...

Just connect your phone in abd mode , you'll be able to flash it from the computer
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 3] gloops100:
I've booted in TWRP and try to flash , but I don't have access to internal storage...

I tried : Wipe > Advances Wipe > "Data" > Repair or Change file system > Change File System > EXT2 ; then EXT4

Now I've boot loop on TWRP... how I can solve this please ?

Edit : nees to flash the Fastboot rom with MiFlash
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Speedy_ES:
Hello, recently whenever I plug in any headphones to my phone, it starts using microphone from my headphones. The problem is that my headphones have microphone unplugged and I'm using jack cable without extra black ring for mic signal, and when making calls nobody can hear me, and recorder app doesn't record anything unless I unplug my headphones. Can I force my phone to use its own microphone instead? I have shizuku installed if that will help and I don't have root.

[General Questions and Answers] kyphur:
You've been a member long enough to know that "Recommend a Rom" threads usually get closed.

You've done a good job listing what exactly you're looking for but still the title is along the lines of a noobie swooping in and asking for the best rom.

Where you do differ is that you've obviously put a lot of thought into what you're looking for but alas the thread title doesnt accurately reflect the depth of your post.

Honestly this sounds like the idea that launched a project. The question is will you step up and coordinate the project?

If so I would recommend you retitle this thread and take the concept to the next step.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
@ quicksite

The concept sounds great. I agree with you in that many people want functionality but who dont have the technical knowledge, (or want it initially:D) but who wish to maximise their devices usefulness. They also may not want to risk damaging something they have just paid £500 for. How many times have i had my friends come upto me and say, how did you do that? can i have it? can you do it for me? haha....

Whilst some may say this is not in the spirit of xda as one should not venture into the depths of winmo without technical knowledge, i believe it adheres to its basic principles and that xda should continue in its evolvement (sorry my spelling is crap today); the more the members the greater the knowledge.

Whilst i only have a Polaris and Prophet, i would be interested in this dev project as it could encompass all devices. It would benefit xda in that noobies who dont or cant get to grasp with the technicalities have somewhere (one place) to "glorify" their device. I think once the new members have blinged their device, their interest and curiousity expands... "mm i wonder what else i can do". THis leads to further reading and learning and such new blood and knowledge can only be of benefit.

Count me in.
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
@quick site

Sounds like you want to either get into cooking your own rom, or should grab an ultralite rom and install everything you want.

You may want to try task facade for a task manager. everything pops up with a large screenshot and to close apps you just have to long hold them.

You can set task facade to a hardbutton (or if your hardbuttons are all full you can use hbutton which allows you to map several programs to one key)
[General Questions and Answers] quicksite:
Thanks. Yes, that's what I have done to date. I started with a PapaMopps ROM, then moved to an OpenTouch ROM, and now am trying to consider WHICH ultralite woud work best for my configuration. It's these snags like dialers that confound me. AND which topbar is overriding another -- for exmaple, when iFonz is in use, it overrides the top bar with access to windows start logo, etc. :)

Thank you for the rec. i will search for Task Facade.

I also just found WkTask from a thread here at XDA -- and tried it out. Now THAT's what I'm looking for... but again, it's the conflcit with apps or interfaces that overlay that top bar so that it is not a constant. :(

Ahh, I never new until now about Hbutton. That's exactly what I need! I will search for it too. I am guessing it is context sensitive -- and offers a different default action depending on which app is the one in use?

thanks very much.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
@ quicksite

Assume you are going to set up your own site for this project or is this something you are going to do on xda? im interested in assisting in this in which ever direction you want this to go, so let me know and i will find some time and buy some more coffee....:D
[General Questions and Answers] l3v5y:
I'm not sure quite what you want to achieve, but I think what you want is a less technical (i.e. suitable for normal people) way to access the information here.

This sub forum was brought about because it was decided that new users probably wouldn't have a huge technical knowledge, so it woul be better to let them ask about "what's x" somewhere where people want to help rather than hack. So in a sense, this sub forum goes part way to achieving that.

You gotta choose firmware exactly for your model (SM-A525F and SM-A526 for example are incompatible)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Downgrading is not possible due to rollback protection from the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] helen2:
does this mean that if you unlock the bootloader then you can downgrade and then you can reblock the download or not even by unlocking the bootloader will you be able to downgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
You can't downgrade even with an unlocked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] barryallen3038:
I was also wondering the same question, and I know that Samsung blocks downgrading to a lower bit version. However, I was wondering if I could flash this RayOS Android 12 port (no longer maintained obviously) through TWRP without issues? Would this work?

Link to the mentioned ROM: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-port-oneui4-1-rayos-s21fe-port-for-galaxy-a52-sm-a525g-f.4454855/
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] zjnek:
I think that you can downgrade using a custom rom with older version of Android
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Yes, you can flash it, however as far as I'm aware fingerprint and face recognition will stop working due to them requiring Android 12 based firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] MauriJ2001:
Yes doesn't work fingerprint and face recognition in 11/12 (OneUI/AOSP) in case of fingerprint detects but at 98% or 100% will throw an error
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] MauriJ2001:
Only custom rom like RayOS (for OneUI 3.1 and 4.1) or AOSP but you will had some problems in AOSP is mandatory to install and update the Gapps o something will not working and biometric tools like fingerprint and face recognition will not working (I think is a problem with the updated vendor)

[Lenovo P11] lucasrodrigues154:
Hello everyone in the community!! I'm new here

I have a Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2 tab that I bought on Aliexpress. It came with the fake global ROM installed by the seller, I managed to install the Zui Rom on it using SP FLASH TOOL and it worked perfectly, but this ROM only had Chinese and English languages, and even putting the language in English there were still some things in Chinese . I found a global ROM that was supposedly official for my device and tried to install it using SP FLASH TOOL again, but when I finished and went to turn on my device a message appeared that the software was not compatible with my device, so I had the brilliant idea (contains irony) to format my device using FLASH TOOL to install the Zui Rom again, but unfortunately for me, after formatting my device using FLASH TOOL it no longer turns on and is completely dead.

Although I'm new to the subject, I know that I made a mistake when installing the supposed global ROM for the second time, and I bitterly regret having done so, if I could go back in time I would have continued with the ZUI ROM. Can anyone please help me recover my device?
[Lenovo P11] ZG_DEV:
Bro

U should not choose "format + download" or even "format all"

This bricks the device

But u can revive your phone by booting your phone into META mode ( vol down+ release when connected to pc), this mode is the same as BROM mode, but for emergency, note that it disconnects after few seconds if there is no action is taken, so be quick when doing steps 👍
[Lenovo P11] reenancslp:
Hello friend, I have the same problem, I formatted it using SPFT and my tablet is the same way, Dead, it won't turn on, it won't charge. When connected to the PC, it recognizes it for a few minutes and then disconnects. Is there any tutorial to help me solve this? Something more about META Mode for the tb350fu
[Lenovo P11] fzzt:
Hi,

Did you managed to revive your device?

I too received a fake global rom, unfortunately, & I'd rather have a ZUI rom with some chinese word... may I ask, I managed to download Zui from needrom, do I just follow the standard SP flashtool steps without formatting in order to flash it?

Thank you in advance if you answer and I do hope if you managed to revive your device, you can share here too, there's no forum for this device, perhaps this thread could be it.

Do you have the correct firmware to flash the device?

[General Questions and Answers] user²²:
Hi guys,

first of all, before I started opening this thread I was searching for a solution but I didnt. Seems I am not the only one who facing this problem.

I am running FloydQ 7.0 on my S7 edge. What I did are these simple things:

1. Reinstalled custom firmware after formating internal storage

2. Reinstalled google maps

3. Checking compass direction with a third party app called gps status, seems no hardware issues because it works, compared the directions with my iphone

4. Settings -> keep map north up on/off does not solve the problem

The weird thing is, if I delete data in google maps and starting again, it works. The beam is a little tighter but heading in the right direction. Accuracy is high. After closing google maps and open up again the direction is 180° inversed and the beam is a little wider. Accuracy suddenly low despite improve accuray is turned on. This process is reproducible. Means, clear data and open google maps it works until closing.

The compass in google maps showing the right direction, but google maps seems dont recognize in which direction I am holding my phone.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
That is "normal" behaviour, happens on most (older) phones. Especially when you're standing still, the device is unable to detect the direction.
[General Questions and Answers] user²²:
Hi,

also people with newer phones are affected. Apparently galaxy s22, pixel 6 pro. Someone mentioned when he heading his phone to the north (walking) the beam points to the west.

But what I found out is interesting:

- holding my phone horizontal and starting google maps, the beam points anywhere but not in the right direction, mostly 180° off

- holding my phone vertical and starting google maps, the phone direction is correct

This method works without deleting data/cache.

What I also tried is: Holding phone horizontal, starting google maps and then go vertical does not work. I need to restart google maps. In contrast, holding phone vertical, starting google maps and then horizontal it keeps the right direction.

This is really strange. I am ok with this method, but If someone has an explanation for this behaviour would be nice.

Don't use Supersu or Kingroot. They're inferior to Magisk at best, malware at worst.

Root your phone with Magisk, enable Zygisk, and use the Safetynet fix module (and check the thread for Lineage on the Galaxy S7 Edge).
