Yeah, this new-age stuff needs the user mode fastbootd to do complicated stuff.

fastbootd is implememted as an init daemon in recovery.

Uh-oh. This is some new-age update that isn't using update-binary.

Sorry, I'm living in the past.

You can extract product.img and use some sort of simg2img (in a verbose mode) to check the integrity.

I have one, but it's in Windows.
[Google Pixel 5a] javalsai:
Hmm, imo a stock rom flash should require just some images to be flashed from the basic fastboot as doing it might be because you corrupted some critical stuff on the phone...

I don't really understand how should I flash product.iso, but if it's some windows script don't worry, I can try to adapt it to linux or try to run it with wine, better to try it than be left with the phone like this...
[Google Pixel 5a] Renate:
If it's just a straight sparse file you could expand it on your desktop then do a straight fastboot flash.

The expanded file could be GBs.

Maybe they added some fancy operations or something, I don't know.

Windows simg2img.exe is in my sig. Run it first with a /v and no output file first.
[Google Pixel 5a] javalsai:
Weird, I also have simg2img isntalled and appears to be from https://github.com/anestisb/android-simg2img. But the type of the iso files I have is:

android-info.txt: ASCII text
boot.img: Android bootimg, kernel (0x1df0c3), ramdisk (0x62c)
dtbo.img: data
mnt: directory
product.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data, UUID=d70b177f-4e75-5006-b1d3-26f9fb835844, volume name "product" (extents) (large files) (huge files)
super_empty.img: data
system_ext.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data, UUID=0ad04ec4-8c5d-5483-8110-ef296ce858db, volume name "system_ext" (extents) (large files) (huge files)
system.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data, UUID=8c3ba9a9-956b-5132-b2e6-4cc997bb2a33 (extents) (large files) (huge files)
system_other.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data, UUID=d931aabd-c1ee-58dd-878f-e80624069ab2, volume name "system" (extents) (large files) (huge files)
vbmeta.img: data
vbmeta_system.img: data
vendor_boot.img: data
vendor.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data, UUID=d2212735-65e2-5607-beb2-10a965d1e72d, volume name "vendor" (extents) (large files) (huge files)

Not a single one saying sparse file, like shown in the github repo
[Google Pixel 5a] Renate:
Do you actually have a product_a partition or is it packed in a super partition.

In which case a fancy fastbootd needs to handle this.

It could still be sparse though.
[Google Pixel 5a] javalsai:
Yes, I do have a product_a partition (I see it referenced in fastboot vars). I have seen this fastbootd behavior with all sparse images, it's like my phone is rejecting sparse flashes

I opened a post on official google pixel help issuing that to flash stock rom it's needed fastbootd for sparse files, which might be corrupted or something, let's see how it goes.....
[Google Pixel 5a] Renate:
It looks like recovery doesn't have 2.4 GB spare space since it doesn't mount data.
[Google Pixel 5a] javalsai:
I think I actually found the solution and is quite dumb, so sorry if I caused any issue. But it just happens to be that in reality I got a Pixel 5 (redfin) and I thought it was a 5a (barbet) this whole time. After flashing the non sparse images images I successfully got a non unknown product value in fastboot, and even tho I didn't actually got to fastbootd I got reeeeaaaaallly close, I'ma try to complement that with LineageOS and hopefully that will be enough to, if not, I'll just try to fully finish a stock ROM flash.

But anyways, thanks for all your help, effort and patience! You helped me a lot to understand a lot of stuff even tho it turned out to be this dumb at the end.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] coalsario2398:
Why are you asking this here? It's not the right place. Go ask in the OnePlus 8 category
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
1/ Don't just anyone and backup your Data (Which can't be lost)

2/ Usually mtkclient to unlock bootloader don't lose your data. As a powerful tool for old mtk, you do wrong way and something can mess up. So better using a guide or using lite version.

3/ Flash TWRP first time has a chance to encrypt your data, so it's not recommended if you want to keep your data. (AND DON'T USE OFFICIAL VERSION)

4/ Root Rmn8p need Patch Vbmeta to boot, you can find command line in TWRP flash guide.

Total:

Backup>Mtkclient>Root>Backup (Swift backup or some other backup tool)>Install TWRP>Do whatever else you want
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] coalsario2398:
Alright, i'm going to do that later, my phone has too many problems, like crashing when i play a video or the camera only and only being accessible on the official camera app, so i will probably install a custom rom like crdroid also because stock rom is not great. One question: what is the chance of my data encrypting once i flash TWRP?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] coalsario2398:
Also, how can I avoid a brick on mtk client tool? And will my data encrypt when i install twrp, having removed my lockscreen?

I don't know what the best is, but I can tell you what my experience was with stock MIUI 12.5 or 14, in ultra battery saver mode. Using the phone just for calls, WiFi on all the time, occasional mail, browser and youtube, it lasted 6 days everytime.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbzjohnsomers:
I installed TWRP 3.7.0_9-1. while following this video to root

I got to the part where "wipe -> format data -> type "yes" -> regular factory reset.

Then I tried to look for other methods of root like magisk, rather than the adb-sideload.

In TWRP "Reboot -> System" and it bootloops, shows "samsung s7, powered by android" turns off, then back to the same screen, and turns off again

I can get into twrp and download mode.

I tied this to flash this firmware https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G930F/PHN/G930FXXS2DRC3

But odin fails and phone reboots back into bootloop

View attachment 6028624

I am dazzled with the myriad of different software versions for the S7. Binary bits, combination firmware and what not. It is maddening.

So what is the correct firmware to use? How do I avoid bricking the phone? I replaced the motherboard from a smashed s7 into this one because the previous mobo was already bricked and I could not wrap my head around the firmware binary bits and crap.

Here is a screenshot I took before I tried anything.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbzjohnsomers:
So I flashed crDroid 8.4 using twrp and it works.

Still I would appreciate help figuring out which stock firmware I should use.

I may prefer stock android 7 over android 11, 12, 13. But I need root, so could I get the stock 7.0 rom working with root?
[Lenovo P11] mingkee:
Even it comes with a pen (mine is full kit with keyboard and standing case), I'd like to have an extra pen.

Unfortunately, it's NOT compatible with Precision Pen 2 and 3.

Does anybody know when pen is compatible this model?

BTW, with case and keyboard, it's more like a netbook

Generally, I am satisfied with this unit EXCEPT 60Hz display

http://lubbad.com/Vista%20Abstract%20Dialer.cab

Want to make some cabs for dialers? Here is the first one. I extracted the dialer from my touch pro and then cabbed it for ease of installation. You can theme a dialer for your phone. Or change the buttons, and basically whatever you want.

Cab seems to be the only way since I cannot shut down cprog.exe for installation or png and bmp files to the windows directory. The cab does it well and requires a restart to complete. Here are the pics of what you get in the cab.

If you request some other theme I will see what i can do. Or I have attatched my original dialer and you can mess with the templates.

Just hard to put them in windows without a cab.
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
NICE work!!
[Touch Pro CDMA] smotrs:
Very nice, you don't happen to have the original PSD or XCF files you could share as well? I'd like to try some different backgrounds.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Nice job! Thanks for kicking this off! I have only seen one other dialer so in the PPC Kitchen.

Iis what you mean?

Not sure if this is what you wanted
[Touch Pro CDMA] smotrs:
No, I was referring to the PhotoShop or Gimp files you used which just show the dialer buttons, frames, text, etc.. which would allow me to plug in my own background. :)

Not quite sure what those files are in the ZIP, Sprite Backup is what came up when I searched.
[Touch Pro CDMA] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
zip

the zip file in post one has the original frames and backgrounds
[Touch Pro CDMA] smotrs:
Ohh, so what you did was take the image, overlay it on top of the original and make it opaque/transparent?
[Touch Pro CDMA] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
Correct. Then you have to cab it to windows file, But be sure to retain the original format of .bmp or .png
[Touch Pro CDMA] smotrs:
Thought so. Cool, good job and thanks. :)

Can you tell me, or even post a guide on how to flash GSI and make things work perfectly on Samsung A13 ? ( A137f)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] OmegaMotorolaBr:
I didn´t have a Galaxy A13 for tests here but if this device haves an 64bit CPU and Treble Support you can go in and use this same Guide on your device, to see if your A13 supports Treble you just need to Download Treble Checker on PlayStore
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] ZG_DEV:
Yes it supports, I have checked
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] OmegaMotorolaBr:
You can give a try, use this same Guide but on your Galaxy A13 (use a TWRP Build maded for your device, you can use this same vbmeta.tar since this is a blank image from Google), if you can post some photos of the rom working on Galaxy A13 here i will be pleased to see since i have 3 devices here to test with this GSI ROM.

Next one will be a Motorla Edge+ XT2061-3 (Burton) and if i have some money on the end of this year to fix my Note 10+ N975U1 and my Xiaomi Mi 9t Pro i will test on those devices too, i even have a Galaxy S20fe Snapdragon unmounted with a broken screen to fix and test with this GSI.

[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Have bought the buds 2 (white and black) £99 on Amazon.

They're absolutely brilliant.

The amount of options you get in the X app is top notch.

Everything from environmental noise suppressing to ear type audible tuning.

Tested the battery charging capability via battery share on the nothing 2. Theres a blinking white light indicator once it's static it's charged.

The actual audio from these little things in my testing is stellar, bass is strong if you need it, it's clear and punchy... For £99 you're getting a much pricier package.

Lastly they're extremely comfy in the ear and they look amazing.

Haven't tested battery life yet but with everything else nothing has accomplished with their phones, I'm optimistic.

Has anyone else got them? How are you finding them?

👍🏼

[Nothing Phone 2] digi7alboy:
Prepare to be disappointed of battery life, I have had 6 or 7 wireless in-ear over the years, all have had at least 5 to 7 hours of battery life. Nothing gets me barely 3 hours with anc off, reading Nothing forum some are getting even less than that. I disabled High res audio in the app in hope of getting more battery, but it was more or less the same. It's a shame because the audio is very good and they are very comfortable. Everyone is using there headphones differently but not even getting throu my gym session without hearing low battery is bad to say the least. At least they charge fast when in the case so this is good.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
I haven't got there yet.. I'm happy that you've agreed with what I have tested.

I'm in the gym for about 2-3 hours nearly Mon-Tue & Thur-Fri.. guess I'll find out then..

I have some other headphones but they're bone conduction so not ideal for the gym.

Are you using the nothing phone 2 btw or another device? Is the battery life the same when you're not in the gym?

PS: apparently noise cancellation, ANC and volume are what knock the battery life so much.
[Nothing Phone 2] digi7alboy:
I was on the Nothing 2 phone, but switched to Pixel 8 since I feel NP2 have to many issues I don't like (still owning NP2 and hoping for some customs rom to play with) I have used buds 2 on both NP2 and pixel and there is no difference between these 2, same sound, same battery life. It's hard to measure the battery life in different scenarios since it's only in the gym I use them till battery runs out.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
My nothing Ear(1) are 1 year old. I use them daily.

I only use 1 side but for 8 1/2 hours.

I usually charge in work breaks which is 30 hours of it and i can drive home with them and go jogging. Which means i get around 10 hours with 30 hours of charging in between.

Battery is very good for such a small device imo.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Fair enough.

Only reason I'd ask about that gym is the sheer amount of other Bluetooth devices in the gym, it'll have an effect.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
That's promising...I'll be honest I haven't given them a whirl yet, back in gym tomorrow so will see what they're about there.. then on the bike..

Should be around 3 hours.

Hey,

First thanks for the ROM. I'd like to test it but I have a few questions :

- does this ROM support R/W for all partitions or does it still in RO ?

- Does is support OP Cam and Warp charging ?

- And can we switch to the old notification style such as on Android 12 and older ? (I really hate the newer one with large icons)

Thank you in advance :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
no knowledge if they are RO, but you can just use a magisk module (magic overlayfs) to make partitions R/W and after making changes, set it back to RO for security/integrity checks.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] GloriamSemper:
OOF. I'm a little embarrassed for you.😬

OP does not cover anything to do with build updates, the built-in OS updater, or any of the specific variants and/or special updating processes for those variants. Nor does a search of the thread result in anything specific to my question.

If you have been successfully updating using the built-in OS updater, a more helpful response would be to mention that fact, along with any other relevant information (ie your variant).

Reading a question thoroughly before responding is always preferred.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheSayaMan:
The built in updater takes too long. The best option is to just reboot to recovery and adb sideload new update then reboot to recovery and sideload gapps. Also for future reference, don't PM the dev, he rarely answers.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GloriamSemper:
YAS! See? Now THAT's how you respond with helpful information! Thank you so much! I have been waiting to get a definitive answer on this for so long, and now I can update safely!:cowboy:

I'm curious what variant you are using? I ask because the TMO variant is notoriously buggy with ROM installs and updates.

Side note, I'd recommend NEVER DMing people on XDA. Whenever possible you want the information to be publicly available to help others. Instead of DMing in the future, tag the relevant users in the thread post itself by typing the @ symbol, then auto completing the users' username.(y)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheSayaMan:
I had the T-Mobile variant and never had a issue with ROM's. I've since upgraded to the OP11 so I no longer own it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] mx597turbo:
I would recommend updating through recovery. Here is the process I use:

Download the update and verify the MD5 or SHA256.

Download the latest NikGapps.

Make sure you have the latest Google Drivers and ADB installed to path (most likely you already do if you were able to install crDroid).

If you are using any KSU or Magisk modules, disable them and reboot the phone.

Connect your phone to your pc with a good quality cable.

Open a terminal in the directory where you downloaded the crDroid update and NikGapps.

Type 'adb devices' to verify your phone is connected to adb, and the windows drivers are working.

Type 'abd reboot recovery' to reboot your phone to recovery.

In recovery, tap Apply Update, then Apply from adb.

In the terminal, type 'adb sideload cr' then hit tab to complete the file name. Hit enter and the update will begin.

For me, the update stops at 47% and asks if you want to reboot. Tap No (This is important if you don't want to crashdump). The update will complete in another second.

Go to Advanced and Reboot to Recovery. Install the update a second time, using the exact same procedure.

Reboot to recovery a third time. This time, Apply Update, and install NikGapps. Same as before - in terminal type 'adb sideload nik" hit tab and the file name will complete.

Reboot the system. The initial boot may take a while.

Enable any modules you turned off and reboot.

Done.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] mx597turbo:
Are you running a custom Rom on the OP11? If so, any issues unlocking the bootloader on the Tmo variant?
