[Android TV General] matteosco:
Hi,

I hope this is the right forum to post this, if this is not the case, could you please redirect me to the correct one?

I have an Akai Smart TV (model AKTV5543FT) which has been stuck on boot since last android security patch.

I suppose that something went wrong during the upgrade process and the firmware got corrupted.

I tried to download the find the firware over the Internet, but the Akai support is somewhat not existent and the Italian offiicial support website (which I am not sure I can link here) does not feature the firmware for that particular TV model.

The TV goes past the AKAI logo but it is stuck on the "Wisdom Share" logo; it keeps loading for hours, with no success.

I have already tried the basic troubleshooting (reboot, unplug for 1 hour and try to start again), but the problem persists.

Since the TV is now bricked, I am more to willing to install a non-Italian firmware or an unofficial one.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance,

Matteo

You need the specific firmware from the manufacturer specifically for your device. Email them. They may send it to you.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 12846327:
No chance... They're called samvix. The device name is q3.

They'll never give anyone a ROM, cuz they want it to be impenetrable. Like, kosher (without browser or any other apps) for religious stuff... Whatever.

The device design is similar, I'm wondering if I have a chance of successfully installing a different ROM...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jazintopedro:
Hello everyone, the TV was slow so I accidentally disabled an important system application and now the TV does not work, when I plug in the cable the Philips logo appears, then the Android logo and it constantly reboots in a loop. The model is 50PUD7406/77, the TV has only one button, I tried to enter recovery by pressing the button (I don't know if I'm doing it right) and also with buttons on the remote control and nothing happens, I contacted Philips and they told me that Take it to a workshop, I really hope I can fix it at home, I don't have time to take it there :(​

[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] thedoctor16:
Ever since I bought the phone I always noticed poor battery life. I upgraded it to MIUI 14 as soon as it came out, so I don't know if it's due to that. Looking at the battery in settings doesn't show anything weird, i.e. the apps that I use the most are the ones using the most battery. I thought that maybe debloating it would help, but I'm not sure which apps are safe to remove, I haven't seen any recent threads about that. Do you have some sort of safe list?

I also thought that maybe I could install a custom ROM, but I'm not sure which ones are compatible. Do you have experience with good ROMs that work well? Is there a way to install a new ROM as an update without losing all my data (sounds unlikely but worth asking)?

Thank you!
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] bernd_bb:
"Poor battery life" can be anything.

I am on the Global-Version of MIUI 14 and I never had a phone where the battery last that long.

I don't think that debloating will help, but if there are system apps you don't need it would be a good start anyway.

I wonder if you tried to read and search through recent posts, here are some places to start:

r12-pro-plus-5g-custom-rom-debloat
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] iCrop:
No, since to install a ROM you need an unlocked bootloader which wipes the data
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] alakimaki:
The information I am sharing comes from the telegram group which I follow.

Allegedly Lineage OS 21 ROM that was released few days ago for this phone removes all wifi wake locks which should help with battery life in idle. I got the impression that there are still other "wake locks" left that cause some battery drain.

Lineage OS 21 still has some pretty nasty bugs like not being able to change wallpaper, misplaced volume controls. Lineage OS 21 still has not reached official status(it is in beta) so these are upstream bugs that will be fixed in time.

You can only upgrade to Lineage 21 ROM from MIUI 14.0.6.0 not from Lineage 20, there will be horrific bugs otherwise.

To backup use seedvault and/or swiftbackup and/or neobackup.

I think the Lineage 21 ROM will be good, it is just some months away perhaps before bugs are resolved.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] bernd_bb:
You don't have to do a so-called clean install, meaning wipe/ delete all existing user data before installing Lineage on a phone running stock rom?
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] thedoctor16:
I'm also interested in this. I've seen other guides where they say that you should only flash LIneage from a specific stock, but what does it matter if everything gets wiped anyway?

@bernd_bb: I can barely get to the end of the day in medium usage; for example, I unplugged my phone from the charger at 08:00 and had a screen-on time of 1h16m with no music/video streaming and only WiFi, no mobile data, and I'm down to 75%. Am I having unrealistic expectations? (just genuinely asking, I tend to remember my OP Nord 2 CE holding up more)
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] bernd_bb:
The screen is one of the most battery consuming parts of your phone. So streaming/ listening to audio with the screen turned off should consume less power than browsing through the internet with screen turned on.

Here is a test claiming the note 12 pro 5g to last up to two days with screen/display on time of seven to eight hours.

So you being still on 75 percent, it is hard to say how far away you are from those experiences. What are you doing with your phone when the screen is running 1h16m? If you are gaming, I would say you are expecting normal battery drain because gaming is cpu consuming and because of this battery consuming.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] iCrop:
You need to, to unlock bootloader, you need to wipe data already, if the bootloader is still unlocked, you still need to clean flash as it will cause problems
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] alakimaki:
From what I have heard and experienced LineageOS 21 release for this phone has less bugs/issues than Google pixel 8 has. Battery life on idle is maybe 5-10% better on Lineageos 21 than on 20 not a whole lot.

About the volume slider bug, I looked, it was shown to me, I cannot find it. In fact, now that I have used LineageOS 21 for a while, I cannot find a single bug/issue with this January 1 release.

I also noticed that if you enable battery saver and setting that disables it when charged, you should get at least two days easy on light use. Not a great solution but hey at least it works.

I was on LineageOS 20 release in a rural area during the holidays and the battery drain was pretty crazy I had to charge daily and I was barely using the thing. I since then urbanized myself and installed LineageOS 21 so I do not know if this is still an issue. Anyway, I got the impression that the battery drain was not completely normal even though it is to be expected that the radio was transmitting at higher power.

If I am correct 5G cell support is broken in LineageOS 21 and there is no ETA on when it will be fixed. Google made some API changes and that is currently the price that you have to pay for running Android 13 on this phone. All in all not a huge loss, 5G sucks anyway.

Ben said that the next release will pull the necessary files from MIUI 14.0.6.0 so it should be flashable regardless of MIUI version. How this is exactly going to work, I do not know.

My experience seedvault was not all that great, it restored all apps but I had to log in to everything again. Will probably do seedvault and together with neobackup next time.
[Windows 10 Mobile] rafsturley:
i have a lumina RM-1072 and i cant unlock the bootloader as i dont have a good ffu file it said in windows phone internals that

"The OS version of the selected FFU is not supported. Select a donor-FFU with a supported OS version."

as i understand if i can upadte it to windows 10 i can then install an adrod emulator or androdi app wich will allow me to nistall turmux wich will then let me install kail

so if anyone know how to unlocke the bootloader so you can flash it to windows 10 or just directly install kail i would very much appricate your help.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Lityhm:
Usually when downloading repositories from WPInternals it would also download a folder called "RM-1085" which has your donor FFU inside, unless you don't have this folder then you can download it by typing in "RM-1085" into the product type text box inside the download menu.

Afterwards you can back to unlock bootloader by scrolling down and selecting the "RM-1085" FFU in the box shown in the image.View attachment 6055532
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firecats:
I recently updated my Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS to Wearos 3.5. Prior to that, the calls I made or received on the watch were flawless. However, now , after the update, the recipents of calls from my watch hear echos of themselves on the call. It's so bad I have to continue the calls on my phone instead, where the echos go away. I raised this in other forums and I just placed a spport ticket with Mobvoi, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this . If so, is there a solution ? As supporting facts, my phone is a Pixel6A
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donutfly:
I also have that problem. But it is even worse, the other person can't even hear me. It's just the echo, nothing else. Also upgraded my pro 3 ultra to wear os 3.5

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] crazyut:
I did see the threat about using Mixplorer on Google Pixel 6 device (I have the Japanese Google Pixel 7 Pro which I might root if I can find out if root breaks the Felica chip access) but I use the device setup as stated below:

Android 14 device: I can access the folders but not the existing data so for example in com.appstar.callrecorder/files (I know there are recordings there since I can see them in the app) on Samsung S23 Ultra. Using Shizuku and FV Explorer (have not tried Mixplorer yet), I can see all the folders in android\data with their icons for the particular app (in most cases).

I am wanting to backup the the android\data folder (since I cannot verify if Google backup will backup this particular app (Call Recorder) even though it uses the android\data folder and I cannot verify if Samsung Smart Switch copies the android\data folder.

Is there a backup program to backup android\data (on a non-rooted phone) or does Google backup or Samsung Smart Switch backup android\data?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Swift Backup will do that for you fine. (needs root or Shizuku).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] crazyut:
Seems to back up everything as the phone is not rooted. I will get the EU version of the S24 Ultra and hope that the combo of Google Backup and Samsung Smart Switch restore that data. Nice application, though. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sonic997:
For the sake of app backup and restore, Smart switch and Google one is just for you want to restore an "empty" app just like new downloaded, just a joke for me. If you want to have full backup and restore for not only the app but also for the in-app data/private data, those apps are completely trash I'm sorry.

Titanium backup are always my friend from my first android phone with root. However, i need to use banking apps but root is not allowed.

Helium backup is an alternative without root in the old android version but not all apps can be backup

Now, I'm using s23 but i have to try swift backup when I'm free and hope it can help since my phone already upgraded to Android 14. I'm not going to use root from now on.

Google one is a good option for backup in Android for the brand is not Shamesung but the key thing is the backup is slow due to the relying on network speed and Google drive volume. The reason is simple, Google wants to make money on it but the tool is trash for me.

iPhone is still the best option for those want to have seamless full backup with full app data ( not just like shamesung claimed the smart switch ( i named it smash switch)can backup the app data, they are lying! Shamgsung smart switch can backup an blank app data, just the apk file, not the in-app data. You will get nothing for it, all your data get smashed lol)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Absolutely the best feature of iOS. In much less than an hour, my new iPhone was setup EXACTLY like my old iPhone, EVERYTHING taken care of by iOS with no manual intervention. I just can't think of one good reason why such a basic thing is still not possible on Android.

You can use the built-in Files app (com.google.android.documentsui) to copy the contents of the Android/data and Android/obb folders. And you can copy/ restore files to these folders using the split-screen trick (open two windows of the Files app in split-screen and use drag-and-drop).

On my Samsung S22U running on OneUI 6.0, I uninstalled updates to the Files app to restore it to version 14.10586669 which allows 3rd party apps to access the contents of these folders (only data folder in Android 14, but both data and obb folders in Android 13). The updated Files app doesn't allow this. Updates to this app are pushed by Google via Google Play System updates. This is one of the reasons for me to not update my phone to OneUI 6.1 yet.

But I haven't tested if restore works properly, so please test first to confirm.

Hey folks my question is:

How do i downgrade to android 13 firmware 67.0.A.4.104?

Thank you for the answer!

So in developer settings I have to set bootloader to unlocked?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] androidgenuine:
WARNING: Non-experienced phones or the devices that has no Developer settings would have a rare chance of bricking your device for nothing. Please refer to other bootloader unlocking referring to your device.​

Go to your phone's system version on the About section in Settings and tap the build number 10 times. Then go to the developer settings and look for OEM unlocking. Click the button and it'll prompt you to install unofficial apps. Yet maybe unlocks your bootloader. Attach your device to your PC and download ADB just right here, Then locate to the ADB directory you have downloaded and type cmd on the explorer's search bar.

Type adb devices on the Command Prompt you opened the program "cmd.exe" and hit Enter.

If it's labeled as device after the phone's name, now type adb reboot bootloader and hit Enter again.

If you're phone's already in bootloader mode, type both fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock and hit Enter once again. Now reboot your phone to Recovery mode and choose apply update from ADB.

WARNING: This part could wipe your phone's data.​

Download a Android 13 stock GSI image and put it right into your directory where you downloaded the platform-tools folder.

Wipe both cache and dalvik cache self to do this.

Now type adb sideload "The filename" where you downloaded a stock Android 13 GSI ZIP here and hit enter. This will sideload an image you downloaded from the internet.

If ADB has sideloaded sucessfully to your device, you can finally reboot your phone to normal mode.

I don't know if it works.
