[Sony Xperia 1 III] iiensu:
Hi all,

Unfortunately I can't enter flash mode any more so I have to use stock recovery to flash ROM in the hope to reactivate my bootlooped Xperia 1 III. Where can I get the most recent OTA or stock ROM as a flashable ZIP?

Or - if-possible- how can I build it from the XperiFirm- downloaded multi-file ZIP?

Thank you in advance!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
We do not have recovery, well sort of but it aint work and the dev is to lazy to update.

So use xperifim to download the fw and flash with newflasher.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] iiensu:
I used newflasher when rooting my phone and installing Magisk. Unfortunately the phone doesn't enter the flash mode any more. If there is a way to reactivate flash mode everything most probably would be fine. So does anybody of you has an idea?

Vol down + Power activates the stock recovery mode which shows two flash options: from SD card and via ADB side load. As of now this appears as the only to options to bring back to life my phone without factory reset.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] MK73DS:
Maybe my remark is stupid but if you can `adb sideload` why can't you `adb reboot bootloader`?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] iiensu:
Not a bad idea at all, I tried to do so, but it results exactly in the same faulty behavior not starting the flash mode but rebooting into the bootloop. :-(
[Sony Xperia 1 III] iiensu:
There should be a way to get the link to the OTA update. Can an owner of a Xperia 1iii (esp. XQ-BC72) please try this out and provide it to me?

Get OTA Update Package Download URL for Android Devices

That would help a lot!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Did you even install the correct drivers ? 🤔
[Sony Xperia 1 III] iiensu:
Yes, it did work before my problem with my xperia 1iii occurred and even now with my old Xperia 1 everything is working fine (e.g. newflasher).
[Sony Xperia 1 III] iiensu:
Can somebody please try out one of the given methods to get the link to ota.zip. I don't care for which xperia 1iii. I just want to try to recover the data on my phone via sideload OTA update.
[OnePlus Open] itamleshem:
Hi, I am new to OnePlus, i wondered is there a way to set a different notification sound to each app.

couldn't find that in the setting.
[OnePlus Open] jaseman:
In settings is where you set the default sound. Sometimes using NONE in the default setting is the best as it will not conflict with individual sounds you may want to use. That being said, for most communications apps like Gmail/email, texting, phone calls, etc., etc. you choose the notification sound from with the settings of the individual app in question.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MariaKim:
Hello guys,

first of all, i am VERY new to this. So please be kind to me ;-)

I bought an Archos Hello 7 and i wanted to upgrade from 8.1 to 9 or 10 (whatever is most stable), because some Google Play apps need at least Android 9.

I found this Tutorial:

https://theupgradeguide.com/install-android-9-0-pie-on-archos-hello-7-resurrection-remix-how-to-guide/

What i did this far:

- unlocked bootloader via ADB

Now i wanted to:

- TWRP Recovery Mode

- Install new Android Version

So my question:

- is the tutorial above still vaild?

- The links in the tutorial don´t work anymore so

- Can someone provide with recovery.img for TWRP that is best?

- Can someone provide with the best Android Image, that would work best with my device?

Thank you SO much in Advance!

AM NEW PLEASE HOW MAY I CREATE ANDROID 13 MTK CUSTOM DA FILE?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
Please notify me when you know, I am interested in learning how to create a custom DA file too !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
Try to get all detailed information about said MTK device, including the CPU model, RAM size, bootloader version, and scatter file.

Extract the existing DA file using a suitable tool like SP Flash Tool or UFI Box from said MTK device.

Editing tools such as QDA File Editor or Da File Editor should allow you to open the extracted DA file and modify the parameters.

You will then have to find a way to sign the custom DA file using a signing tool like MTK Secure Boot Tool or Miracle Box.

Of course, at this point you can flash away with a tool like SP Flash Tool or UFI Box.

You might or might need to verifiy it's comptability by doing a test flash?

[Samsung Galaxy A34] AtomicStryker:
Hey, so i haven't owned many smartphones before the A34, just two in fact, a Motorola and a Poco, so my experience is limited.

But something about how my A34 handles touch/swiping seems off to me.

I notice the difference strongly in apps that require a "long" continuous left or right swipe to achieve something.

It's almost as if the phone has trouble detecting a long swipe as uninterrupted.

Think gmail deleting/archiving, but gmail only wants a short swipe to do it. I have no trouble there.

In an app that wants a long swipe (like across half the screen and more), i have a hard time doing it at all.

The app apparently interprets my long swipe as multiple shorter swipes.

[This is more than one app, but only really a problem in one]

The only relevant setting i can find is the increased screen sensitivity meant to be used with protectors, and that didn't change anything for me.

Enabling pointer visualization in the debug menu shows that the OS atleast is tracking swipes perfectly.

Anyone else have this? Is it a setting? Does my phone have a defect? The screen is set to the high refresh rate and i leave it there always.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Lemonade1278:
I bought this phone a month after its release. Everything was fine until last week. Battery started draining so fast about 20-30% in total. On the 3rd day, it got worse. It was draining longer and it turns off when at 50% battery level. It won't turn on because it indicates that it needs charging even though its battery is at 50%. Plugging it in a charger turns it on, about a 85% chance it turns on. I leave it charging until 80%, unplug it and I can use it again but battery drains quicker but stops once it reaches 45%. 4th day it got even worse. It just shuts down randomly whenever I use it and it just bootloops after. I can end the loop when I use a charger. I can use it without problem if it is plugged in a power source. I can also unplug it and it won't turn off anymore(about 50% chance it won't) if I just let it sit and never use it much. But now it shuts down when I turn on bluetooth or connect to a wifi network. I have tried factory reset many times and updating my OS, no fix.

In short,

Battery draining, shuts down randomly, battery indicator says it needs charging when it has enough %, can use it normally when plugged in, factory reset did not fix it.

I was wondering if it's just a calibration problem because I always charge my phone when it is at 35-45% range everyday until it reaches 90%. Or the battery is just really dying because it's almost 3 years old.

I am trying to drain it right now and try calibrating it if it fixes it but it's going to take days if I just let it sit. Because I can't use it properly when when unplugged because it would shut down when used and bootloops. The only way to get out of the loop is to plug it in a power source.

[Magisk] hong5:
My device is a Xiaomi 13u.

I used the command `ls /dev/block/by-name` to see that the partitions have boot_a, boot_b, init_boot_a, init_boot_b

First question, if there is init_boot.img, it prioritizes patching init_boot.img and ignores boot.img, right?

Second question, to get the patched img file, when using fastboot flash, should I write to init_boot_a or init_boot_b or both?

Thanks
[Magisk] khusika:
init_boot.img means your kernel image which is refer to boot.img

I'm not sure which partition overlay the Xiaomi 13 Ultra uses, if it's AB i do flash to boot_ab
[Magisk] NOSS8:
Removes security from the lock screen.

Install the TWRP (Use A13 if the system is A13) and flash the magisk zip (Magisk Apk renamed to Zip).

TWRP(REC version)

Install with TWRP or fastboot***

fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img(cmd)

or

./fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img(Power Shell)

***After flash used this command:

./fastboot reboot recovery (Power Shell)

fastboot reboot recovery(cmd)
[Magisk] hong5:
Here's the magisk installation docs, https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

I don't really understand in the Patching Images section,

in my case, should I patch the init_boot.img file, not the boot.img file?

Second question, my phone has both init_boot_a and init_boot_b partitions, should I flash the patched img file to both partitions?
[Magisk] V0latyle:
It depends on the phone. Try boot.img first

You can but it's not necessary, you only have to flash the currently active slot.

[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] Ullili_from_Germany:
Hello everyone!

I'm new here, please forgive me if some questions are a bit silly and if my English is a bit strange... 😳

I'm a little bit desperate. I have the HTC U ultra, which didn't get any upgrades after Android 8.0 as you know. From 2024, there will no longer be any normal prescriptions for medication in Germany, only digital ones. To be able to receive and redeem these digitally, you need a smartphone with the latest OS, which you also need to use protected services online with your health insurance company. My health insurance company requires Android 9.0 (for 2-factor authentication with their app) and 10.0 (for the Electronic patient file, ePA). Now you know my problem... 😞 My health insurance company's app can't even be downloaded from the Google Playstore. But I only live on my disability pension and have no money for a new smartphone.

So I have questions now:

a) What is queried by the Playstore in the smartphone when you want to download an app: the OS version, the device name or both? The OS version would make the most sense.

b) Can the download and installation succeed if I install an upgrade from here or is it not stored in the device as Android.x? E.g. LineageOS 17.1 not as Android 10 (this is the version I need as a minimum, see above)? So that unfortunately "Android 10" does not appear when queried by the Playstore?

c) If this should succeed: Could I use LineageOS 19.1 directly or would I first have to install all versions that correspond to Android 9-11? As I said, the HTC U ultra only has 8.0.

Thank you very much for your patience and your advice!

Warm regards,

Ulrike

[General Questions and Answers] kiz84:
Hi there, I've got a P8 Pro and have noticed that my USB-C DAC (Truthear SHIO) doesn't seem to work with it. When I plug it in, all I can hear is loud static. It's odd because using a regular headphone adapter works just fine (3.5mm to USB-C) but this DAC doesn't work. I've seen other threads on Googles 'help' pages to no avail. Oddly, I have the latest software and before this it was working, albeit intermittently.

Yes this is a fair challenge. It's strange that recently it was working and before on my Pixel 6 Pro though. I "assumed" (wrongly of course) that any DAC would work, guess I'm wrong
[General Questions and Answers] SaimChauddd:
So, my phone, a Redmi 10a running on LineageOS 20, had Magisk installed along with the Lsposed module for mock gps. I wanted to remove it fully as a ride app seemed to detect that my phone had a mock app running and just kept saying to turn it off despite verything like hide mock and stuff and everything. So, I tried to remove Lsposed several times from my phone, ended up with it just being called com.android.shell and just to be sure...I deleted that as well with Lucky Patcher. My phone said it had to reboot. Okay. Oops. I ****ed up. Now it just shows the MI icon, shows the lineage loading and then the screen turns off and it goes back to the Redmi thing. I managed to get into Fastboot but for some reason its not detecting on my computer and I know I ****ed up. No idea what to do.
