[Google Pixel 6a] VeryRareGaming:
Hello XDA community,

I'm encountering a serious issue with my rooted phone, and I'm hoping to get some guidance on how to resolve it. My device was functioning properly until recently, when I experienced a problem after enabling a module that I regularly use.

Detailed Problem Description:

Device and Root Status: My phone, which has been successfully rooted for several weeks, lost its root access unexpectedly. This occurred right after I enabled a commonly used module and rebooted the device.

Initial Issue: Post-reboot, the phone lost its root access. To address this, I reflashed the patched boot.img. However, this led to the phone being stuck on the Google logo.

Attempts to Resolve: In an attempt to fix the issue, I tried restarting the phone multiple times. Despite this, the problem persisted, and now the phone is stuck on a black screen. I've tried the following combinations without success:

Holding the power button for an extended period.

Pressing Down + Power button for a long time.

Pressing Up + Power button for a long time.

Current State: The phone remains unresponsive and is stuck on a black screen. I fear it might be bricked.

Additional Observations:

When I connect the phone to my PC, I notice the device manager flickers, but the device doesn't appear consistently.

ADB is unable to recognize the device, making it challenging to use any ADB commands for troubleshooting.

Seeking Advice: Given these circumstances, I'm at a loss for what to do next. Is there any way to recover the device or at least get it to a state where it can be recognized for further troubleshooting? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!
[Google Pixel 6a] Kelexine:
If it has custom recovery like twrp or orange fox, reboot to recovery and delete the module from /data/adb/modules/
[Google Pixel 6a] VeryRareGaming:
there is no custom recovery such as TWRP installed.

Holding Volume Down + Power does nothing now.
[Google Pixel 6a] SirEthanator:
It sounds like you are in a bootloop. Once the screen turns off start holding the vol down button and it should boot to bootloader. If the screen doesn't turn off on its own, you can try holding the power button for a while.

Sorry I didn't read the message properly.
[Google Pixel 6a] TechX1991:
Strange for me to see this... This happened to me with LineageOS 20 MicroG on my phone. Out of no where, I didn't have root. I hadn't ran an update, I hadn't done anything.

I just rebooted the phone and suddenly had root again.

With what it sounds like your issue is that its booting into the new Tensor Chip variation of Qualcomm 9008, which unfortunately there's no current tools available for. its similar to EDL for Samsung's. Older pixels, like the 4a, you'd use Firehose to fix these issues. The files have never leaked for any of the pixel devices though to firehose them properly.

I work for a data recovery company. Pixel's a good 70% of the time are never recoverable because they're bricked in this black screen firehose/edl mode. First thing I do with every single pixel is open device manager and see what driver it requests from Windows upon boot.

For basic terms, its bricked. Your best bet is check warranty status at https://store.google.com/repair and send it in. Only google can flash it at this point.
[Google Pixel 6a] VeryRareGaming:
Ok thank you, I have a google 3a XL which i could try fix at least, Appreciate the response
[Google Pixel 6a] Rafiul Bari Chowdhury:
Is your Device Pixel 6a? Which command did you use to flash patched boo.img?
[Google Pixel 6a] VeryRareGaming:
I used pixelflasher, which I’ve used many times in the past on the device.
[Google Pixel 6a] Rafiul Bari Chowdhury:
Check if your phone is vibrating or not after pressing power button for at least 15 sec.
[Google Pixel 6a] VeryRareGaming:
Unfortunately it is not
[Google Pixel 6a] Rafiul Bari Chowdhury:
Sorry to say that your phone might be dead 🥲 This also happen to me last year on my Pixel 2.

Is your device Japan variant?
[Google Pixel 6a] VeryRareGaming:
No it’s not, it’s frustrating because nothing was done out of the ordinary to what I usually do
[Google Pixel 6a] Rafiul Bari Chowdhury:
It's not the problem from your End, It happens because of hardware failure! You may have to change Motherboard or reball CPU.
[Google Pixel 6a] TechX1991:
this is not what it is... reballing the cpu won't do anything when flashing the boot.img is what started the issue in the first place.
[Google Pixel 6a] ActuallyJammy:
Same thing happened to me... Connect it to your PC and hold the power button for some moments, if it pops up as (COM Serial Device), your bootloader is dead, and when I mean dead it's completely missing. Same thing happened to me while flashing a GSI. Apparently google warranty covers it.. even though I flashed unofficial firmware. They replaced my phone instead of repairing it. Good luck!
[Google Pixel 6a] greeneyez15o:
Had a similar problem with my 4a . Is it connecting and disconnecting when u connect it to the computer ? If it is, u might b able to save it
[Google Pixel 6a] VeryRareGaming:
Device manager flickers, that’s all
[Google Pixel 6a] 0V3Rlord:
Hi, did you managed how to fix it? Just have the same problem but with a 7 Pro
[Google Pixel 6a] VeryRareGaming:
Sadly not, I’m going to send it in for repair, I love pixels but they seem to just randomly die

Hello, i got a samsung s21 ultra 5g and oem unlock is missing i think it is locked my verizon and i cant go to their store to unlock since i live in a country where there isnt no verizon stores i was wondering if u guys knew any ways to unlock it by hacking or some thing any 3rd party website which helps with unlocking it.. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] OnnoJ:
You probably have a US-phone. Of these US-phones the Bootloader cannot be unlocked. Not by a Verizon store, nor any third party or tool.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SpecialWeek3:
So are you saying, that if we buy Samsung Global version, we can OEM unlock it without any problems unlike US version?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Yes.

[General Questions and Answers] baldybill:
If you had to choose to use a VPN (encrypt data) or Firewall (block some connections), but not both, which one woud you use?

I'm leaning toward Firewall.
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
VPN

Most VPN services have built in firewalls, and the additional security of an encrypted connection is honestly better in my opinion than depending on blocked connections.
[General Questions and Answers] baldybill:
Hmm...

Specifically, I was debating

- the free Proton VPN (which I don't think has a Firewall)

OR

- NetGuard
[General Questions and Answers] zeroderp:
proton is hit and miss.

mulvad has a better name

but i use proton mas a main.

mixit up.

secure dns is a big deal. 9.9.9.9 quad9 is an option beside mulvad for dns.

bot have free options.

pleas look into portmaster as a free firewall.

there is never one single app that does it all.

there were 2 good ones for windows back in win7 days gone by

those were removed from circulation BECAUSE they worked.

vpn such as mulvad#1 or proton #2

add a free firewall. for your sake.

and never go without dns

spoff everything.

always.

EVERYTHING.

this is just the beginners stage.

later we can start into access control.

still beginner stuff.

but all i am is a beginner.
[General Questions and Answers] baldybill:
This still sounds like running a VPN and a firewall at the same time, which Android does not let you do unless you are rooted.

Others?

[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Scr@tchy:
Hello. I'm looking for instructions to update my rooted Xperia. I found this guide, https://blog.huenet.net/updating-a-rooted-sony-xperia-1-iii/, but i miss the part where I have to install the patched kernel. Does anyone have experience with the instructions or another solution without losing data?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Pandemic:
Newflasher ask if you want to keep tour data so type Y, its all explained if you use it and seeing it inside newflasher...
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Scr@tchy:
Hi,

ok .But I still have to root the kernel of the new ROM with Magisk first. And can I simply install the rooted kernel with newflasher if I rename it to the original name?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] linccracker:
flash it through fasbootd after you update with newflasher flash to both slot a and b
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Scr@tchy:
Everything worked out great. The only thing is that after flashing the phone doesn't go straight into fastboot mode, but it works the same way by holding down the volume up button and then connecting it. And I always have to flash the kernel via Linux, adb and fastboot don't really work under Windows.
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] justass:
Also what bugs do they have?
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] infamas:
Arian's version doesnt have bugs. I am on it right now. But i have never tried Raul's version.
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] justass:
Thank you for your response.

If i am planning to flash Arians version with GAPPS i should take every file from here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=339905 right? Im wondering because he says that

Download Lineage Recovery. Simply download the latest recovery file, named recovery.img.

Important: Other recoveries may not work for installation or updates. We strongly recommend to use the one linked above.

So which recovery file should i use?
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] infamas:
When i was flashing Lineage i already had TWRP and i just flashed Lineage (the big zip file around 2GB) via TWRP and put a tick on "reflash twrp after flashing rom"
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] UnknownCoder:
I am currently not satisfied with the battery life of my Redmi note 12 5g hence am looking for some custom kernel to improve it.

I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything.

So if custom kernels exists please let me know.
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] taki_india:
kernel source havent released by brand
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] martxyz:
not true, kernel is released and it is the same as moonstone. if you install xiaomi eu or a custom rom, the battery goes from crap to fantastic....it's all miui's fault!
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] INSANE S:
Yes I don't know why Xiaomi not releasing kernel source code

Any this is also a reason can't find anything about it

Sorry bro I'm also suffering this problem
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] INSANE S:
I will flash custom rom soon in redmi note 12 5g then if I can change kernel I will give steps and files
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] INSANE S:
Don't worry probably Xiaomi Release the kernel source code

I was wondering if someone could help me, since i updated my phone to android 14 every time i plug the headphones when i increase or decrease the volume the screen wakes up and i found it so annoying, this doesn't happen in android 13. Is someone experiencing the same? Is there any way to fix this? Thanks for any help you can provide me.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] MolinaGames:
I need a new phone and ngl I don't really have that much money right now. Amazon is selling a brand new OP9Pro for less than 300€ so it looks like a good deal (at least to me lol). It's an old phone so I want to flash custom ROMs on it, but I've seen videos of people saying that once you install custom ROMs or open the bootloader the L1 certificate goes away. is that true? and if so is there any way of getting it back in custom ROMs? I watch a lot of Netflix and that type of stuff with my phone so that would be a bummer.

thanks in advance

in that case I'll probably get the phone. my other options are the Nothing 1 and POCO F5, but I don't need performance, so the op looks like a better option right? I just want it for WhatsApp, Instagram and movies.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] himusarda:
How did you get L1 in a custom ROM?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
I'm not sure which specifically because I didn't intentionally do it for L1, I just checked and saw that it's what I have. I'm using a few things including Magisk Canary (26401), magisk hide module from HuskyDG, and Play Integrity Fix from chiteroman. You could do those in order and see which one helps. In all reality it might have L1 without the modules as it passes safetynet without them.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] WesTD:
it is not about which custom ROM do you use. it is about bootloader. if you still have L1 after unlock bootloader, you will have L1 until another bootloader unlock
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
No I think it's changing values like bootloader status as locked even though it is
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RexSonic:
It seems to be very hit and miss but I have L1 on oos 11 after an unlocking the bootloader with a 5 digit system id however flashing any other rom downgrades this to L1. Although I haven't tried matrixx or crdroid
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MolinaGames:
yep im having the exact same problem. i have l1 on oos11 but if i update to a late oos12 patch or oos13/13.1 ill loose L1. i cant install custom roms because of that, all of the new roms use the OOS13 firmware so idk what to do
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MolinaGames:
from what OOS did you unlock the bootloader?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
I'm on matrixx a14 with L1
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
OOS 11
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MolinaGames:
and how did you do it? like you just ran the recovery.bat/sh while being on OOS11?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
OEM unlock? Just ticked the option in developer options, rebooted to bootloader and typed fastboot OEM unlock
[OnePlus 9 Pro] zeeshanonlyme:
did u still have L1 after unlocking BL on OOS11?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
Tbh I have no idea, I unlocked and upgraded all the way up to 13. Haven't been intentionally on 11 in a few year.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MolinaGames:
No I mean like, how did you flash a custom rom while being on OOS11?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
I did after taking an OTA. Started on 11.2.2.2, (or .3) unlocked bootloader and rooted. Temp unrooted to take the OTA to 11.2.10.10. After OTA was finished, I used Magisk restore to get root back and rebooted. L1 widevine with unlocked bootloader and rooted. I'm still in that position now. I had an experience where my Netflix settings showed it as L3 (DRM said L1) but after installing older Netflix, clearing cache in recovery, opening older Netflix and then updating to latest APK in play store, it was and is L1 now. I'm not sure what caused it to drop to L3. Maybe an update for safety net vs play integrity that they checked. But it's sorted out now.

Btw, I verified this unlocked bootloader+root then take OTA and restore root works on both EU and Tmo firmware. TMO firmware forces the reboot after OTA so you have to re-root manually but it was also back to L1 after OTA while bootloader was unlocked and remained unlocked
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RexSonic:
I did manage to fix this by updating to the first oos12 ota and then using fastbootenhance to flash full oos13 zip file and still had widevine L1 and it even works on custom roms
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
Nope I MSM'd back to 11, updated to 11.10.10, C.36, C.48 then F16 and F18. Once I was at OOS 13.1 I flashed custom.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] MolinaGames:
I did that too and it worked! But when I flashed Lineage OS I lost the L1 certificate 🤔 I'll try to flash CrDroid this weekend, maybe i lost it because lineage does not have any "Google" protection but that seems weird to me.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RexSonic:
I've only tried paranoid uvite
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ashktch:
Any updates on this?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Eudisleo1329:
hello, I have the same problem, could you explain to me what steps you followed with fastbootenhance, because when trying to flash the device does not start, it sends me directly to fastboot mode.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RexSonic:
That method itself is quite outdated and last I tried oos14 gives you L1 with a unlocked bootloader without any issues
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RexSonic:
You can keep L1 by just not updating the oos12 modem but that does cause some issues down the line especially when using navigation
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Eudisleo1329:
Gracias por tu rápida respuesta, acababa de probar oos14 y tal y como dices me sale L1, pero cuando quiero instalar una rom personalizada vuelvo a tener L3.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] RexSonic:
Make sure to install oos14 on both slots
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Eudisleo1329:
Okay, I'll approve it and then I'll tell you if it works :)

For Samsung phones only

Digital Wellbeing cannot be disabled normally via app info (greyed out), here is how to do it:

Assuming you know and have ADB ready:

(you can add -k after the uninstall keyword to not have it erase your app data)

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.forest

Run it at your own risk

If you have issues, you can re-add it:

adb shell cmd package install-existing — user 0 com.samsung.android.forest

Digital Wellbeing is known to eat battery, so I hope this can help mitigate that

If you get a permission error with the code 150, it is because you activated Secure Folder, you will have to uninstall Secure Folder to do this... (it's in a weird place)

You can re-install it later if you so please

[Samsung Galaxy S23] avipars:
Interesting, why would it make battery worse?

I don't know, but on the practice it will be negative for battery consumption. Maybe it monitoring some processes or apps and it help for sleeping or energy economy.

I used one ui 6 script for ADB Appcontrol from one of the users here and it removed around 170 apps including DW. Battery life became amazing but some stuff were broken so I rather manually removed only what I needed. I kept DW there in case it would interfier with something and battery life is similar so I wouldn't worry about that. Maybe if you didn't make clean update it can do some nasty stuff in background but most of the stuff does if you do not make full wipe.

If someone is interested I can share the script of my removed apps so you can easily load it into ADB Appcontrol and remove with one click.
