[Redmi Note 10S] Walter Garcia:
I don't know what I am doing wrong.

But every single of my tries resulted in soft and even hard bricked device.

I have read, studied and applied carefully every step of this tutorial with no success:

Flashing GSI roms on Redmi Note 10S and then fixing some issues, all without any custom recovery

By Following this guide, you will lose your warranty so keep that in mind before you begin. (Although you have probably already lost your warranty by unlocking the bootloader) This guide will help you to flash any GSI (Project Treble) ROM onto...

xdaforums.com

I have also watched a lot of videos about how AB partitions works. Lot of YT tutorial abouth the same phone. All of them failed with my phone. TWRP fails, fastboot and fastbootD fail.

The result is always the same. Bootloops, stuck at redmi logo stuck at recovery, stuck at fastboot (every case depending on the tutorial followed). (In one try TWRP replaced the fastbootd lol).

And the final solution is always the same, flashing MTK fastboot and retuning to the stock firmware.

Don't think I´m a stupid or something similar, I have even watched and followed carefully Hindi tutorials step by step at x0.25 speed on YT (I'm surprised, Indian people know all you can imagine).

And wel... here I am, MIUI 14 has just started, see you soon.
[Redmi Note 10S] Deleted member 12612947:
I hear you. I've struggled more with this device than any other. And I'm not stupid either, nor inexperienced. I've flashed custom ROMs to several other devices. It's just this one I've had difficulties with.

I have managed to flash RiceDroid to it but have failed with every other single ROM I have tried. I've no idea what the problem is.

I even had someone assist me (on a Telegram chat) and they failed too. Maybe something weird about the phone?
[Redmi Note 10S] XSOARER:
Count me in. I have a Poco M5s which is suppossed to be a Redmi Note 10s clone. I'm very daring about jailbreaking stuff (everything I own I try to jailbreak: kindle, ps3, every phone, etc.) but this one is overwhelming because a failed attempt gets me to BROM Mode to factory firmware in one or the other way.

While I am tired of failing, I don't see myself just giving up. Last time I got to flash a custom ROM, it didn't work, it got stuck in a bootloop, but I know I wrote into the system partition. If any of you did anything, please share your experience and don't let this thread/spirit die. We can put a custom ROM in this device.
[Redmi Note 10S] tutibreaker:
why a gsi while there roms for the device ?
[Redmi Note 10S] XSOARER:
I am researching a bit on this, but seems like a "skill issue" on our part. I will try to make a comprehensive guide to learn the basics of this phone. Right now, I'm using OrangeFox already. Doesn't seem usefult, though, except for flashing a Custom ROM. Let's see how it goes.
[Redmi Note 10S] Deleted member 12612947:
I'm sure you are right about the skill issue, and perhaps depth of knowledge too. There are obviously different levels of knowledge on each and every subject, and sometimes I think people that know more forget, or make assumptions about how much others do (or don't) know.

There's no shame in not knowing. We are all on different points of the learning curve.

That would be very much appreciated. For example, whilst I get the gist of A and B slots (and understand their purpose) I can't can't say I am totally comfortable in how to deal with them, and the implications of getting it wrong,

I'm self-taught. Much of my leaning has come from trying things out and getting them wrong. Fortunately, I've never completely bricked a device though I have had to dig myself out of some holes!

SO... any guide there was as to the basics might well stop me making some of the more avoidable mistakes :)
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Folcra:
I recently decided I wanted to start experimenting with custom ROMs on Android, and so I dug out my old Moto G Power 2020 (Sofia) and got to work. I'm specifically looking to degoogle and install something more privacy-focused. As you might expect, I ran into endless errors and roadblocks along the way, but every now and then I'm actually able to get a ROM to flash without an error or bootloop. I know that the custom ROM options are kind of scarce for this model, but I've found several builds in this forum that seem to be designed for this phone as opposed to the G8 or others in the G Power series. But, the three ROMs I've tried so far (LineageOS, ArrowOS, and most recently AICP) haven't ever progressed past the OS logo. I've waited a very long time for each one, and I doubt I'm not giving them enough time (AICP has been playing its animation for over an hour, now). Since the issue is occurring with each ROM, I'm certain the issue isn't with the ROMs themselves, but something else — but as I'm brand new to all of this (I'm pretty tech literate, but completely inexperienced with this process), I have no idea where the issue may lie.

I've been using TWRP to install these ROMs as zips, and have had limited success with pretty much every step, having to scour XDA and a dozen other sites and videos just to troubleshoot random errors I'll encounter along the way, which I feel means I'm getting the true experience, here. (Honestly, this is thrilling — I love troubleshooting so much that I'm almost disappointed when things just work.) Has anyone encountered and resolved this issue before? I can provide as much information about my journey as you may need to be able to help me, but if I were to do a full write-up of every step so far it would be full of redundancy and failures, and I wouldn't be sure what information is really pertinent. Here's a basic outline, though:

Installed an unofficial version of TWRP for my model (official versions do not exist for this phone)

Flashed LineageOS, ArrowOS, AICP (varying success, but with each of these I have eventually gotten to the point where the logo animation loops infinitely)

Attempted to downgrade from Android 11 to 10 (I read in some places that this would simplify things, but I was never actually able to get it working)

Recovered Android 11 at several points using Lenovo's RSA tool

As I said, I'm completely new to the world of Android customization, but I'm getting the hang of a lot of the tools involved. Let me know if I can provide any further info that could help you help me.

Thank you, I failed to notice this requirement. My mistake.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Folcra:
Bumping this. I found a ton of old forum posts about this issue (we're talking 2014, before this phone even came out) with a variety of solutions across different manufacturers and models. None of them got me any closer. I even found a post that was targeted at everyone posting about this issue as it seemed to spring up quite suddenly mid-2014. The solution described there wasn't helpful.

Some more details:

I am unable to use the ADB Sideload feature in TWRP. It loads up infinitely and then doesn't cancel successfully, forcing me to hard reboot every time I attempt to use this feature. I expect this is because this is an unofficial build for Sofia. Either way it's frustrating.

I did leave the phone in its booting animation overnight. The phone ended up dying the next day without ever booting because I didn't realize it wasn't charging. Still, it hadn't booted after 8 hours.

Lots of software that's been recommended in these threads I've scoured is deprecated and wiped clean from the internet (CWM, Philz Touch) or isn't compatible with this model (Orange Fox, official TWRP builds).

I still haven't found a working method to downgrade to Android 10. Seems like it simply isn't possible anymore.

[MX Player] doblado:
I'm talking about streaming from certain app which has an option to push the subtitles to the player. For years it worked normally, mx player would load and select subtitles automatically that way.

Now (very often) it get subtitles from the app, but doesn't select them. You have to select them from the menu.

Maybe it's the long file name, maybe something else, but all I know is that it sometims do work and many times doesn't.

Any ideas?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] barbd:
I updated my TCL 55C635 from the stock Android to the latest Google TV earlier this week. I decided I wanted to go back to Android, so tonight I have just tried to flash an .img, and the flash seemed to be going as normal, then some period into the flashing, maybe at/near the end(?), my TV just seemingly switched off. Now there is no sign of life. No power LED, nothing. Just seems dead. I have left unplugged for 10 mins before retrying. Nothing.

I have now looked at the .img I was trying to flash and fear I may have flashed the wrong thing! I scrolled back on the tclupdates Telegram page looking for a V8-R51MT02 that had an .img version, and downloaded. Now looking at it more closely though, it seems I scrolled all the way back to September 2021! Before the C635 came out. This is what I tried to flash to my TCL 55C635:

R51MT02 Android TV Update available in V272.

V272 IMG file...

V8-R51MT02-LF1V272.020169

Did I brick the TV? Anything I can do to fix this? Or do I just try my luck with warranty?

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] peedsllaBoG:
Hey y'all! I'm using a samsung s10 g973u on android 12 and am a little stuck. Okay, here it goes. I've managed to wipe my system and factory reset a ton of times without destroying my phone somehow (it's a throwaway anyways.) I have done horrible things to it and it's still alive but that's not the point. Anyways, I've made it to the start screen and have got into accessibility, settings, the play store, galaxy store, microsoft store and internet browser etc... I've had no luck getting rid of selinux or Google but have completely bypassed the entire setup of my phone without even worrying about the frp bypass hacks, except I've run into some other issues... I can't get into the homescreen, I'm limited in what I can do as you'll see in the last video and as a bit of a novice here I have no idea what to do or what else I can do to take advantage of what seems like a powerful opportunity to take over my own d**n property. Has anyone had this happen to them? Because I've searched and tried to figure it out on my own but I finally needed to ask for help here. Please, does anyone have any advice or pointers on how to get this thing back to bare bones? Just the main framework for me to customize as a fresh OS pretty much. If that's even possible. Thanks for reading this and hope it wasn't too much of a dumb thing to bring up 🤷‍♂️

So, I got this lgv20 h990ds new from china. And I'm trying to get lineage on it. However, uppercut keeps giving me the "invalid command" error and gets stuck at 12%. I have tried 2 different windows devices with 6 usb ports total with the same error. Could it be possible i have the wrong firmware? Any suggestions? :/
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dextructor:
Yes, I had unlocked so many times my H990DS that probably could do it again half-sleep. If you get everything right (all the right files that I specifically zipped, and follow the procedures) there's technically no reason why you can't downgrade.

That's why I suggest that you follow my instructions/suggestions. And if you have doubts/problems, the appropriate thread to discuss it's there.

[FYT Android Head Units] anywhere_i_roam:
Yeah I have the NaviFly M6 Max 360. I'm not sure about the Pro bit. The ad said the resolution was 2000x1200. Right now it says it is 1920x1200. I'm not sure what it would have reported before it got into the bad state.

I bought the "13inch QLED Screen NaviFly M6 MAX Car AutoRadio Stereo for BENZ BMW AUDI VW HYUNDAI KIA LADA PEUGEOT Universal 8G 256G BT5.1 4G" from navifly Official Store.

https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005005341157039.html

It is the universal Double DIN version. As I have a Peugeot 207 and I wanted a larger screen than 207 package one, so I bought the shroud and stereo separately. It worked out, I was able to install it. The screen sits a little higher than I'd like, in hindsight it's probably too big, but it's acceptable to me.

I believe NaviFly, Mekede, etc, are all the same brand. I told the NaviFly Official Store in AliExpress that earlier I was talking to NaviFans shop, and asked them about it, they said it's their shop, and told me they currently have 46 stores. I have no idea why they'd want so many stores. As a consumer I find it confusing. I think it's so that when you search you find lots of results and have a better chance of purchasing from whoever has the most stores. I still think it's lame. The sticky tape on the box had both NaviFly and Mekede on it.

I've sent them a message in AliExpress chat and I've also tried to add them on WeChat. Still waiting for a reply, but it was Sunday yesterday and its early morning Monday right now. During the pre-sales they'd generally take 1-2 days to answer any question despite what time of day it was.
[FYT Android Head Units] anywhere_i_roam:
The ad https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005005341157039.html said the device was 2000x1200 resolution but System Info says its 1920x1200.

Are there any other ways to check what the resolution is and to find the native resolution?

Could the screen actually be native 2000 pixels but the software is doing the wrong resolution? Could that be why I'm missing the menu bar at the top.
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
Yes,1 real store and 45 virtual ones, common practice on e-stores, like eBay etc.

Mekede and Navifly are the same company.

If your device says 1920x1200 that means you bough the non 2k version, they offer both.

But if you bought the 360 version it should been 2k by default.

The roms for M6 MAX, Pro,PRO PLUS, 3D and 360 are the same, the only differences are in the Props, like screen orientation settings.
[FYT Android Head Units] anywhere_i_roam:
I definitely ordered and paid for the 2000x1200 one, the 360 model.

I can't run ADB, but I installed Termux, so I can run some CLI commands. Is there a command I can run that will tell me details about the hardware, the screen, etc. to see if it is the 2K screen or not?
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
I

Try this Terminal comand ;

getprop ro.sf.lcd_density

Or via adb;

Connect your device to your computer via USB cable.

Open the command prompt or terminal on your computer.

Run the command "adb shell dumpsys window"

Look for the line that starts with "mDisplayInfo"

The resolution will be in the format (width x height) pixels

Also when an app is set to pip mode it cannot be use in split mode.
[FYT Android Head Units] anywhere_i_roam:
I got ADB to work.

In developer options there was a ⋮ top right, I clicked that and it said "USB computer connection", clicking that brought a pop-up menu "USB Mode" with two options:

1. 主机模式

2. 设备模式

Translated:

1. Host Mode

2. Device Mode

I changed it from Host Mode to Device Mode. After this I could see my device in `adb devices` and `adb shell` worked.

My headunit has 3 USB ports and `adb` only works on the first USB port (the one with a single cable).

Thanks, I ran this, and got 1920x1200.

It also shows me that my platform version is v29 (Android 10).

NaviFly Official store on AliExpress got back to me and said that 1920 is 2000. So I think they mean 1920 is "2k". So I think my native screen size is 1920, and the ad saying "2000" means "2k" as in "1920".
[FYT Android Head Units] anywhere_i_roam:
I've managed to get the UI navigation icons (back, home, switch apps) and clock up the top again, and able to swipe down to get the menu.

What I did, from `adb shell` I did a `reboot` and when it came back it was fixed.

I had turned my car off overnight, and came back in the morning, but I guess it just resumed from being suspended, and didn't reboot.

When the top menu is broken I can do a reboot by pulling the menu down and using the reboot item in right hand side. But when it is broken I won't be able to get to this menu, so I'll need to use adb, or find another way to reboot.

In the bottom menu there is a power button icon, but this is a bad icon, it means mute/unmute, not power on/off.

Now that my menu is back I see the `mDisplayInfo` string in the `adb shell dumpsys window` command:

mDisplayInfo=DisplayInfo{"Built-in Screen, displayId 0", uniqueId "local:0", app 1920 x 1200, real 1920 x 1200, largest app 1920 x 1820, smallest app 1200 x 1100, mode 1, defaultMode 1, modes [{id=1, width=1920, height=1200, fps=48.0}], colorMode 0, supportedColorModes [0], hdrCapabilities android.view.Display$HdrCapabilities@40f16308, rotation 0, density 240 (448.235 x 403.041) dpi, layerStack 0, appVsyncOff 1000000, presDeadline 20833334, type BUILT_IN, address {port=0}, state ON, FLAG_SECURE, FLAG_SUPPORTS_PROTECTED_BUFFERS, removeMode 0}
mDisplayInfoOverscan=[0,0][0,0]

When it was broken this string wasn't in the output.
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:

Thanks for pointing this out.

I changed the General > Launcher App Setting - from Google Maps to YT Music and I get the same behaviour that I cannot select YT Music for split screen, but can now see Google Maps as an option.

Whatever is PiP mode isn't shown in the scroll. But I can get it to be split screen if I click on the empty space and then open the app, it will open in the empty half.

To be clear, the full sequence is (with Google Maps as launcher app - PIP, and starting in normal unsplit mode):

1. Open YT Music

2. Press the ❏ (switch apps) button in top left of screen

3. In the scroller press teh split screen icon at the top of the selector for YT Music.

YT Music is now LHS of the split, and RHS is the selector, won't see Google Maps in this list because it's the PIP mode in the Launcher.

4. click on the empty space of the selector on the RHS

This took me back to the launcher. I can just on the far left of the screen a few pixels of the right hand side of YT music (the split is 99% off the screen).

5. Press Navi top Open Google Maps (my selected navigation app)

It will pop up in the RHS of the split screen

Also after a few reboots Google Maps had a popup saying there's a new always dark mode option! Which is great, I was trying to get Google Maps to always be in dark mode, even when it's not navigating to a destination.
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
I think it may be because some Google apps have their own pip modes.

Also the new Dvr app cannot be open at all if you got it selected in pip mode.

Yes google maps give you that option when it feels like😉 sometimes after an update other times weeks later.
