Thank you for that info! I was wondering about custom ROMS with this other chipsets. I was thinking of either the A55 or A35 galaxy phones but since they both have Exynos chips in them I was thinking the F55 with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 might be the best route to go incase I decide to keep it well into the future like I did and still have with my Essential PH-1... Unless there seems to be good custom ROM support for the Exynos chips?
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] Sandoitchi-san:
Hello !

Bootloader unlocking follows the same procedure as usual for Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO, and for routing you need KernelSU (extract boot_init.img from official firmware package, patch it via KernelSU app on the phone, and flash it via Fastboot).

Apart of this I just got the phone a few days ago, I'm really happy with it. I'm waiting for BL unlocking atm, I still have 5 hours to wait haha, I just want to root it to use stock gestures on third party launchers. ^^
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] Sunghabib:
Does rooting via KernelSU the same as via Magisk?

I mean we need to patch the boot.img from official firmware and patch it using KernelSU or Magisk or APatch, right? Is there any differences using other than KernelSU?
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] Sandoitchi-san:
Yeah the procedure is the same, install manager app and patch a previously extracted init_boot.img from official package. I tried both Magisk and KernelSU and in my opinion I'd stick go Magisk with Shamiko module, it does hide root really easily and efficiently, I discovered it when trying to hide root and it works really well, plus you may find Magisk more "easy" to use.

Don't patch boot.img but init_boot.img ;)
[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] Sunghabib:
Oh okay, init_boot.img

Thanks

I just replaced an other AI with the Ottocast P3 AI box. I wonder if anyone have managed to root the P3?

My car (a Volvo C40 Pro) has a portrait mode screen - that appears to be a problem for Netflix as it is cropped

I have OEM navigation on the center screen and in the instrument cluster as well. Wired CarPlay enables Apple Map to be showed in the cluster (when a destination is selected) - when using the P3 the cluster goes blank

Lipsync is off (YouTube and Netflix tested)

You can't disable WiFi hotspot (when disable is selected the unit reboots and re-enable hotspot). Fail to understand why they left the menu item...

Besides that, it works great :cool:

To enter engineering mode the password is 126 I think

I couldn't find other info myself, please let me know if you find a solution to get developer options,....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelofhope:
FYI, I managed to get developer options on the P3.

My steps (try at your own risk):

0) I didn't do this as I didn't have a bluetooth mouse ... but connect a bluetooth mouse (this may come in handy afterwards)

1) Get to engineering mode using password 126

2) enable usb debugging (it is in chinese, so have a smartphone with google translate ready)

WARNING: this will break the carplay future, so be sure you have a minihdmi to hdmi adapter, monitor and computer ready

3) connect the device to your computer via usb and a monitor via hdmi

4) have adb installed on your computer

5) open an adb shell to the device

6) enable developer options using "settings put global development_settings_enabled 1"

7) switch adb to wifi again (although I can't connect to it using wifi this re-enables the carplay)

I did this using "input" commands in the adb shell (mainly "input tap <x> <y>", "input swipe <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2>" and "input keyevent <keyid>"), but that is some serious trial and error to get back to the engineering menu. A mouse may have come in handy here

8) reboot ( you will no longer be able to adb into the device, so this is quite exciting)

9) reconnect to the car

10) open developer options.... well, I used an app for this, as I couldn't immediately find it (I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyumpany.devoptions )

Hope it helps someone and hope it doesn't ruin anyone's device 😅

Greetings, I don't know if this thread is still active, I also have an Ottocast P3, and I have seen that the Carlinkit, with an .ini file, change the communication protocol, from Apple CarPlay to Android Auto, they do it because they happen to disconnect randomly, and that precisely happens to me with the P3, does anyone know if it could be done on the Ottocast P3? Should it communicate with the car unit through Android Auto? I have tried that .ini file, but The P3 does not work, thank you.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Wail3Y:
Hey everyone,

I wanted to try rooting my Nokia 8 on android 9 and used TWRP to install magisk but there were some issues with a module so I decided to uninstall magisk. However that locked me out of the recovery mode and seems to have disabled ADB as well.

Now I'm stuck with a non-rooted phone that crashes randomly and gets stuck in a bootloop. It only is able to boot when plugged into the charger but crashes very often. In the loop, it keeps showing "Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." then flashes the Powered by Android screen before repeating again.

I am unable to enter EDL mode via any combination of volume/power buttons and since ADB has broken, I can't tell it to enter recovery either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ADB drivers, deleting the keys in the .android folder, and restarting everything but all it says when I try "adb reboot recovery" is error: device offline. Even disabling USB debugging and clearing the authenticated devices does not work. For some reason it does not give me the prompt with the RSA key fingerprint but still says ADB connected when plugged into either of my two PCs.

I can't think of anything else to try. Please help me 😅

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] myanonymousaccountname:
Hi, I'm wondering if Xiaomi firmware contains spyware. I know miui is full of spyware and trash and data mining apps. As far as i understood even if you install a custom rom/OS like LineageOS or crDroid I have read that proprietary blobs from xiaomi fw still have to be added for the os to work properly with the system hardware. And why do latest/spefic version of miui is needed to flash a custom rom? I am considering poco f5 to be next phone only because it still has a 3.5mm jack, can install custom rom, and good performance. Alternative phone suggestions welcome max price 500eur.

mi unlock procedure will link and mark your device and whatnot cuz you need a xiaomi account and ofc their privacy policy is terrible. Is there a way to just bypass the miunlock bull and just unlock the bootloader via adb/fastboot?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] dctviphb2:
I think that unlock the bootloader make your privacy more terrible :))) so if you care about privacy, buy iPhone, or never unlock Android, that's all, don't use privacy reason to find unlock method via adn or sth like that
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] muppetz:
Yep , even myself was concerned about policy in this matter but I think what the hell let unlock my bootloader and follow these steps imposed by them through my phone at least for a short period of time for flashing EU firmware version over global version .

Then I'm thinking what about Google , FB , Microsoft , Amazon and much other who also spy on us in the same matter but with different scopes , economical purposes . There are lot of studies which revealed listening our conversations by Alexa , Google Assistant or Siri or whatever for establish a market pattern for every single of us . Also browsing is entirely tracked through cookies for same marketing reasons . Our movement is also tracked through GPS by history locations and so on . Android Google estatement is explicit for tracking your phone . Even on the streets , buses , train or planes they track us by faces recognition and now with A.I. things are much easier .

Returning to first issue just remove/disable all chinese bloatware and the same all Google applications which can or be suspicious to violate our privacy . Phone will run smoother and battery last longer .

That I've done with all my phones over the time .

I think if they want to know me , all my activities on my phone they should pay me . If I'm going to be a study object then they have to pay me .
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] muppetz:
Regarding Unlock tool in my case didn't applied what lot of people saying , let find device active , synchronized account , activate SIM or whatever , they were blocked all and also phone is debloated . I let all security , cloud , account and those apks which can brick the phone but untick syncronising ( first debloat action bricked the phone ) .

By curiosity I let all blocked and want to see what happend so after the time imposed to wait , Xiaomi unlocked my bootloader .

So what is the point here ?

I was on Global and flashed EU firmware then lock bootloader again . I don't need custom ROMs , they are buggy , not sustained , and it's a huge pain in behind to make bank payments .

Despite you're saying , I find Xiaomi very interesting ( it's my first MIUI/HyperOS ) my F5 runs awesome , fast and smoothly , battery is extraordinary and more then that In Developer Option there are some characteristics which unlock features other phone don't have .

If these things will continue in the same manner my next phone will be also a Xiaomi .

[Google Pixel 6a] barbosa.212:
Hello everyone, today i tried to do an OTA update through magisk. i disabled all my modules, I unhid & restored the magisk app to the original apk, and instead of restarting the phone i opened magisk>install>install to inactive slot (after OTA) & reboot. after reboot there was a "your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted" boot screen before the unlocked bootloader screen. i decided to proceed with the reboot anyways. now the device is stuck on the google screen. is there anyway to save the device without having to lose data? its my wife's phone and she hasn't backed up any of her photos so its important that i preserve data. afaik there is no twrp for pixel 6a so i cant boot into recovery to transnfer her photos to PC

will this work? https://drive.google.com/file/d/18ZWAxd3qa1p61ZtFhbz-fGr66FJCqviM/view
[Google Pixel 6a] Lughnasadh:
I assume you restored the stock images via the Magisk app before taking the OTA?

Try flashing the stock boot image of your current build to get back into the system.

If that works, but you still get the corrupted message, then you can flash an earlier month's stock boot image (it probably won't boot but that's ok), then flash the stock boot image of your current build. That should get rid of that corruption message.

If all that works, then try re-rooting afterward, but you may have to figure out if you have a root app or something similar that's causing a bootloop beforehand. For example, Iconify will cause a bootloop if you are modifying the QS tiles.
[Google Pixel 6a] barbosa.212:
after walking my dog and seeing the device was still stuck on boot screen, i decided to reboot the device using "Volume down + Power button"

the device booted normally but did not apply the update. i am just going to update the device normally, lose root access, and then reroot by patching boot.img with magisk and then flashing that patched boot image. I'd rather be safe vs risking brick for the sake of convenance

Or else some junk that Nvidia has thrown in to be non-standard.

See: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/in-system-update-of-dtb-in-r28-2/61450

Is there some reason that you want to decompile this?

If you want to modify it there probably is signing in the first 0x200 bytes that you'll have to fix.

I have no knowledge or interest in that.

If you want to decompile it just use dtc to turn it into a dts (after chopping off the first 0x200 bytes).

If you just want to look at it, here is a listing that is incompatible with dtc.

Also, you need to add 0x200 to the addresses.

[Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro / Redmi K40 Pro+] ostrikerX:
So I just got a new redmi k40 pro with it's box, the phone came with it's bootloader unlocked out of its box, which was confusing. When I was looking through it's settings, it showed that it was a mi 11i, so I decided to verify the device by using the imei in xiaomis website, here's what it said: "Thank you for choosing Xiaomi!

However, the device you purchased is not an official global version and user experience may be affected. Next time, please purchase the official global version of the device through officially authorized channels.". So what does this exactly mean, because I'm new to xiaomi devices and would like to know what does this show about my phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro / Redmi K40 Pro+] NOSS8:
This means that you have a K40 pro intended only for the Chinese market and you will not be able to benefit from the Xiaomi warranty.

The guarantee could be ensured by the seller.

The booloader is unlocked because the seller flashed a Global rom of the Mi 11 which changes the model of the phone to M2012K11G while the K40 pro is M2012K11C (which is written on the box).

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] iapetus2k2:
My X3 NFC has been a great phone for almost three years now. Recently it took a little hit to the screen; one small patch of the screen is permanently blue tinted, but the rest is fine and has been working for a week or two. Today, though, the screen started flashing on and off during use; seems to be worse with bluetooth enabled for some reason. adb logs include:

01-20 22:16:06.706 997 1274 I SDM : HWEventsDRM::HandlePanelDead: Received panel dead event
01-20 22:16:06.706 997 1274 I SDM : HWCSession::DisplayPowerReset: Powering off display = 0

...

01-20 22:16:06.932 997 1274 I SDM : DisplayBase::SetDisplayState: Set state = 1, display 28-0, teardown = 0

which I assume is the flash taking place. Anyone have any experience of this problem (Google gives me nothing useful) and whether it's likely to be a hardware problem or a software one? (I'm guessing hardware, possibly fixable by screen replacement...)

[General Questions and Answers] robblemuji:
I’m not a developer. I’m from the UK and I’m looking into a business idea and where to start.

I’d like to make a simple phone (flip phone or simple smartphone) for 10-13 years olds.

1. I want it to be really simple: so it only make calls, texts

2. No social apps whatsoever

2. But it has Spotify to stream music (so it’ll need internet connectivity just for that)

3. Ideally it has basic parental controls too.

I was thinking that the way to do this to take a pre-existing white label phone and hire a developer to create a simple walled-garden OS. And then sell this as a simple branded phone. Is that doable? Is that the best way to do this?

(Sorry if this is a naive question / idea.)
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Are you saying like parental controls or something?
[General Questions and Answers] parrots_:
You could try looking into AOSP, and making a modified version off of that.

From my past experience, removing and adding apps from a ROM is pretty easy, so that would help you with 1 and both of the twos.

The only issue I can imagine is trying to block APK installations, which is usually quite hard, as there are many ways to install APKs.

As for parental controls, if you're trying to block URLs, maybe use a modified browser?
[General Questions and Answers] robblemuji:
Thank you for replying.

Partly… but even simpler than that so it probably wouldn’t need many parental controls to start with. I’m trying to work out how to get to a really basic (& cheap) phone. No social apps. But that can stream Spotify.

How do you create one that would work like that out of the box?
[General Questions and Answers] robblemuji:
Thank you, that’s already helpful.
[General Questions and Answers] parrots_:
Creating a ROM that'd work like that out of the box?
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
If it is an old phone, the phone might not even be able to load many social apps. You can also use extensions from another device to block all social except Sptify.
[General Questions and Answers] robblemuji:
Yes. So it works out of the box, and produced at scale so it could be sold as a phone for 10-13 year olds, ie not just configuring one phone.

I was thinking, taking a basic internet connected phone and creating a ROM that makes a phone less “smart” would be (superficially) simple to achieve.

But where would I start and what would the steps be for the tech and product bits? For example, could it work like this:

- select a pre-existing white label phone (or phones) closest to what I need / cheap

hire a developer to create a pared-back ROM for it

test it etc

produce them at scale

So first does the basic idea sound doable? (Sounds like it is.) Second, where would you start? Would I talk to a white label phone manufacturer about what I’m after?

Or would I start with the ROM bit? And work with a developer on that. And then (roughly) how would you install the new ROM at scale? Do I do that with the phone manufacturer or separately?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] parrots_:
The idea is very much doable, but I suggest you start off with finding a phone manufacturer, so you know what device to start on.

Like I mentioned earlier, you could modify a custom ROM for just about any device, like removing and adding apps, changing wallpapers, etc. so you know how you want it to look like, and show it to the developer.

As for installing, in some stock recoveries, you're able to install zips from storage. You could unpack the images and see how it works.
