You don't need TWRP to root . You can install it by using your stock recovery. You need to unload the bootloader.

1. Backup your data, because it will be wiped when you unlock

2. Enter *#*#7378423#*#* into phone app. Service Info will open

3. Tap Service Info > Configuration.

What does it say on "Rooting status"?

It needs to say "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes" otherwise you'll need to pay like $25 dollars for a third-party unlock tool.

4. Now go into Settings > About phone, spam-tap Build number until you get Developer mode

5. Go into System > Developer Options, scroll down and enable OEM unlocking, confirm

6. Go into About phone again and copy your first SIM slot's IMEI

7. Go here https://developer.sony.com/open-source/aosp-on-xperia-open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/ then scroll to the bottom, select your device and paste the IMEI in. You'll get an unlock code that looks like 123456abcdef789. Save it to your desktop computer

8. Turn off your phone, hold down Volume Up, plug in your phone to the computer while still holding it

9. Add 0x before your unlock code so it becomes 0x123456abcdef789, then do fastboot oem unlock 0x123456abcdef789

[Sony Xperia 10 IV] kalbater:
thanks very much for this all answers i will try it and let you know. big thanks

and do you know a tool like twrp for making full backups of phone?

i am thinking of that is better to buy version 4 or version 2 of the phone. Because twrp exist for v2. but for v3 and 4 i not finde it.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] Binarybard:
There's backup option but never tried.

You can backup your data by application like "Neo Backup" and "Swift backup" .
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] kalbater:
ok thanks very much

Hello

I have a Phone now at me, and i have Status: that i can Unlock Bootloader = YES.

But i not have unlock it now, before i try it i would like to know....this

I have now Android 12 on Phone.

My Question is: If i Connect my phone to the internet and make upgrade to Android 14 for example. Can this change my Bootloader? Status? I meen is it possible after Upgrade the Android Version to a newer Version that Bootloader Status, can be changed to: Bootloader UInlock Allowed: NO?
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] kalbater:
1. That i can Root my Phone with Magisk, i must Unlock the Bootloader right?

2. And the Bootloader must be always open when the Magisk Root is installed on phone? Right?

3. That meens i can not Upgrade phone to newer versions of Android, because with Open Bootloader i think there will be no security updates to download for future? Right?

4. Is it better to upgrade the phone with newest software, before beginn with unlocking bootloader proces?
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] Binarybard:
Yes.

Yes.

It's not like that. You can update manually with custom recovery.

For example, in Xiaomi devices you won't get any updates if you unlock the bootloader. But you can download the latest MIUI from internet and flash it.

You can search on internet if your device manufacturer provide official ROM on internet. Then you decide it yourself.

I'll recommend that. You should update until your device get security updates.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] Binarybard:
Upgrading should not change the bootloader unlock status as far I know.
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] kalbater:
ok thank you i have now updated the phone from the sw menü in the phone. and i have now android 13 on phone.

but i read that there will be anroid 14 soon. so better waiting for this update, then making bootloader unlock?

if i open the bootloader, can i closed him later? or is it once open, never can be closed again?
[Sony Xperia 10 IV] Binarybard:
You can unlock and lock bootloader anytime you want.

Hello,

I don't know why, but for the past 2 days my phone has been rebooting in a loop on Orange Recevory Fox (Bootloop).

I think it's because I can't flash ROM & when it works it stays on the ROM logo indefinitely.

Also, I've noticed that my device is no longer encrypted.

I've explored solutions on this forum & others but haven't found anything that works.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
What is your device and which ROM did you flash and which Android version?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
Poco x3 pro and I tested with these rom :

miui_VAYUEEAGlobal_V14.0.2.0.TJUEUXM_f91bef7f04_13.0.zip ( official rom )

PixelOS_vayu-14.0-20231223-1523.zip

PixelExperience_vayu-14.0-20231221-0457-ALPHA

crDroidAndroid-14.0-20231225-vayu-v10.0

lineage-20.0-20231014-UNOFFICIAL-vayu

(Android 13/14)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
Which recovery did you use?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
Orange Fox and TWRP I tested to download rom with ADB
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
I think I have solution for you. I faced same thing.

All you need to do is use the pixel experience recovery.

Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro (vayu) - PixelExperience

Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro (vayu) - PixelExperience

get.pixelexperience.org

This recovery image below (Pixel Experience Plus based on Android 13)

View attachment 6050674

And you know how to flash a recovery. I'm telling you however

To flash recovery -

fastboot flash <recovery.img>

To boot into recovery -

fastboot boot <recovery.img>

Once you booted into recovery, clear everything (there will be 3 options). Then go to "apply update" and then "apply via ADB". Then sideloade the ROM.

From platform tools run command

adb devices

If you've all the required drivers (adb drivers) and your phone is connected to the PC, you'll see "sideload" written beside your device (on PC).

Now it's time to flash the ROM. As it's a Android 13 based recovery I'll suggest you to flash a A13 ROM (you can always flash A14 ROM after you successfully booted into system). So, download any A13 ROM (recovery ROM) and flash it by

adb sideload <ROM file.zip>

This method worked for me and also some other people I suggested.

I hope it'll work for you too.

Best of luck.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
Hi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!

I've installed PixelExperience Recovery, clear everything , but with this recovery I can't find the ADB Sideload mode.

The command adb devices returns recovery and not sideload.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
Can you please send me pictures?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
There should be an option called "apply update" and in that "Apply from ADB".

And you can type "adb devices" or "adb sideload <ROM>" only after that. Otherwise PC won't detect the device.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
I cant my only phone always in bootloop :x
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
after switching on and off, it's completely discharged, so I wait until it has a bit of battery power & then I get to work.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
OMGG TY BROO ITS WORKED !!!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
Glad to hear that.

You can mark that as solved. So other user can get help.

Have a good day.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
After, can I switch to another ROM ? To Android 14 ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
Does I need to wipe and format to before download ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
I don't understand. Please describe clearly.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
if I want to download Pixel Experience After downloaded Xtented does I need to wipe data/cache ect and format data?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
And Can I download magisk manager without that make another error ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
Still not clear to me.

I think you installed Pixel Extended ROM and now you want to install Pixel Experience.

If that is the case,

If want to update a ROM (same ROM like Pixel extended to pixel extended, not other like Pixel extended to pixel experience or something else) and by update I'm meaning same android version (both build should be in same android version), then you can do dirty flash. That means you only need to clear dalvik, data and cache. Not internal storage and metadata.

And if you want to flash another ROM then you need to clean everything. In that case if you want to flash the ROM from internal storage then clean everything except internal storage then flash and then format data then Reboot.

And now you can flash other recovery like TWRP or Orange fox anytime. I'll recommend you orange fox as TWRP does not support android 14. And using pixel recovery you can't flash from internal storage. You'll always need a PC.

Change the name to magisk.zip.

You can flash that using pixel recovery just like you did the ROM.

Or flash orange fox and then flash the magisk.zip file. Don't need to clear anything for installing magisk. Just clean dalvik/cache after completing flash (in pixel recovery doesn't need)

I hope you understand.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
No, I downloaded Xtented ROM and now I want to upgraded to another ROM like A13 to A14. Like Xtented to Miui HyperOs Port for Poco x3 Pro
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
For Magisk it dont have risk to re make my phone bug ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kiminazx:
So I only need to wipe anything except Internal storage ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Binarybard:
Read my previous reply carefully. I already answered that.

You want to go to A14 from A13 or one ROM to another ROM, in both case you'll need a clean flash.

You can join the group below and you'll find all the answers also some developers of ROMs.

Good morning, I looked everywhere for a solution to my problem, even on this site, but nothing, my cell phone without making any updates started telling me WAIT UNTIL THE DEVICE IS COMPLETELY RESTART BEFORE OPENING THE APPS whatever application I pressed. I can't even install via USB as a developer. The PC doesn't see it but the PC's MIUI app does, unable to do anything about it. Can you help me recover photos and videos of my children without having to do a factory reset and losing everything. THANK YOU

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buon giorno, ho cercato una soluzione al mio problema ovunque, anche in questo sito, ma nulla, il mio cellulare senza fare aggiornamenti ha iniziato a dirmi ATTENDI FINO AL COMPLETO RIAVVIO DEL DISPOSITIVO PRIMA DI APRIRE LE APP qualsiasi applicazione schiacciassi. Non riesco ad installare nemmeno tramite USB come sviluppatore. Il pc non lo vede ma la app MIUI del pc si ,non riuscendo a farci nulla.

Potete aiutarmi a recuperare foto e video dei miei figli senza dover fare il ripristino di fabbrica e perdendo tutto.

GRAZIE

Seems I stumbled upon another issue.

The video out (rca) composite is rotated 90 degrees ccw.

I have tried VLC and MX Player both had no support/ effect.

I can't watch video's on head unit due to formatting, ie... standard 16:9 video is 15cm wide and 24cm high. External wide screen monitors show video rotated by 90 degrees.

Anyone else seen this?

[OnePlus Open] Veid71:
what is the proper way to unroot the device? i saw someone the other day say that they locked their bootloader and just restarted and it bricked their device and want to avoid that lol
[OnePlus Open] rbrown24:
Flash stock init boot (to the slot where you flashed the patched boot image), reboot, remove magisk, relock bootloader. I've continually asked for this to be added to the OP of the rooting guide because I was also among the ones looking for the proper way
[OnePlus Open] Veid71:
thanks, oneplus cucked me, they said i never ordered the phone with a trade in marked, even though i went through the whole process and put in the imei and everything and was supposed to get almost $400 back for my op9 pro and when i contacted them said i could return it and order it again but i don't think they'll get back to me in time for me to use the deal before it expires
[OnePlus Open] egandt:
Same here with my 8 Pro, they never said anything more than that it needed to work for trade in. It works, nowhere did it have a restriction on rooting or anything else, simply asked about physical appearance (perfect) and functionality worked great. Got nothing for mine as a result, complete BS.

Hi, I bought an Android head unit with Bluetooth CarPlay using Zlink back in August 2022. It has started disconnecting and reconnecting and sometimes gets stuck on waiting. From doing some searching I believe I need to update Zlink but when I press "Check for updates" it says "Please connect to the network first".

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Android Head-Units] hardcoremark:
Thanks for this, any idea how to install it?
[Android Head-Units] diafrom:
Install the apk file into USB, keep the old program, it may ask for a license, if you write the software version of the device, I can look at the new software.
[Android Head-Units] hardcoremark:
So I download the app file onto a USB stick and then plug that into the head unit? Then will it install automatically? And I need to write down the software version of what device? Sorry I'm a total noob at this.
[Android Head-Units] diafrom:
Yes, when you plug it into the device, access the USB content, access the apk file, press it and install it.
[Android Head-Units] diafrom:
I told you the main software of the main unit and when the current main software is installed, all programs come installed.
[Android Head-Units] hardcoremark:
I've installed it, but when I press on the Zlink 5 icon originally it said "Zlink service is unavailable", I restarted the device and now when I press on the Zlink 5 icon it crashes straight away and goes back to the main screen with all the apps on.

First i installed the zlink5 app, then i clear the cache and the app data and then i tried to install the activation code but i get an error message that this file with the activation code can not be installed (there is a problem with parsen the file).

Can you help me?
[Android Head-Units] FabiScirocco:
Does no one have a Idea? ://
[Android Head-Units] juliaspinella:
Since you mentioned that you need to update the ZLink software, the connectivity issue is likely preventing the head unit from accessing the update server. Try restarting the head unit and your smartphone/device connected to CarPlay.
[General Questions and Answers] -=Guybrush=-:
For starters, hello to everyone and thanks in advance for your advices. I own an ancient Mi-4i (Ferrari) on Nougat. Now it is on AOSIP, before it was on CrDroid but the both of them were the same Android version. I've swapped the CrDroid with AOSIP because I've thought of some issues with the rom itself but now I know it shouldn't be the case because EXACTLY the same issue is happening again.

With both the roms, the mobile has worked just fine for weeks used daily and with many apps with no issues at all. With the both of them at a certain point it has started to misbehave, exactly in the same way:

1) DND on not on my request

2) Quick settings menu no more expanding, except for the first row

3) Get sound for notifications but not notifications themselves (it always keeps saying I have no pending notifications) and this happens with every app

4) When I get a call the phone rings (if I disable DND, that's clear) but I can't reply to the call because the interface doesn't show up

The only way to get out of this state is starting back from scratch and this means restoring everything everytime. Just trying a dirty flash and/or clearing the caches doesn't help. A very strange thing I''ve noticed is the fact that if I reboot the mobile it works just fine for a couple of seconds as soon as it boots (the quick settings can be expanded completely and also notifications work just fine) but soon after everything gots crippled as explained above like a process causing all of this gets executed.

I've thought about a malware (such a behaviour could be caused by something like that) but ESET, Avira and Malware Bytes don''t report anything at all.

Is there a way to pinpoint what's going on here? I'm desperate and I swear for a solution. Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Zxalilh:
Try stock. The base for the custom ROMs you installed on your device could have had an error that wasnt noticed.
[General Questions and Answers] -=Guybrush=-:
Hi and thanks for your follow-up. The roms are based on different stock firmwares so I tend to believe they should have a different base. Even if it isn't the case and the base is the same, how to explain the fact that they work perfectly fine for weeks then all of this starts to happen with no feasible solutions other than reinstalling everything from scratch? Latest stock MIUI is Android Lollipop and I'd like to avoid switching back to it, not without having tried to find an alternative at least.

Given the described behaviour where should I look to search for a clue to base a possible solution on? Let's say something gets corrupted with usage: it''s what's probably going on but if I knew the app causing it, maybe I could just clean its storage or use an alternative one and solve everything... I'd like to solve the issue rather than using the workaround of switching back to stock if possible.

Isn't the SystemUI app in charge of the misbehaving functionalities? Maybe also the launcher but I've cleaned storage for the both of them and it didn't help. Thanks again and have a nice day! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Zxalilh:
Maybe some configs of your preference are the problem or apps are causing this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] -=Guybrush=-:
No changes to any configuration done, no more apps installed. What about a logcat? Could it shed some light on what's actually happening?
[General Questions and Answers] Zxalilh:
It might be a hardware issue and if it is, I assume that the cause of this is a dying emmc. Although I'm not too sure, it could be the case.
[Fairphone 4] AllanonMage:
The forum search directed me to the HTC butterfly, which I found odd. I thought this had been addressed on the forum, but obviously I couldn't find it.

I see the Fairphone is available on Amazon, from 2 different UK vendors, both with relatively bad feedback ratings (MACROMART UK 80% positive, KICKmobiles® UK 58% positive), although they don't have a high number of feedback either. Neither data points reassure me that things will go well, especially when Amazon thinks it will take less than a week to get here. I've ordered stuff from Europe before and it was usually a month or two, not a week. The Fiarphone website is not set up to ship to the USA, though it seems to be $200 cheaper than Amazon.

I found this page https://forum.fairphone.com/t/where-can-i-buy-a-fairphone-4/77890/12, which links to a help article that doesn't exist anymore. One of the users there says you're SOL as far as warranty unless you buy direct.

I did find this page: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/16674972235537 which led me to this page https://murena.com/america/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena-fairphone-4/

But they are completely out of stock and don't list an ETA for restock, nor if it will be restocked (that's not guaranteed in the modern retail world).

I looked on eBay, and found sellers with the same names as on Amazon. Same for Newegg.

Are there any other and/or official vendors in the US for these phones? That have stock? I was thinking about getting a 4, since it will be better supported from a software/mod perspective.
[Fairphone 4] BioRider:
Murena is the only official seller in the US. Best bet is to wait for a restock
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers] Caaruzo:
Hello everyone.

Unfortunately, I don't know if this question has been asked before. Please excuse me if it has and I have overlooked it.

To my question. I use a Xiaomi MI 10T Lite (gauguin) with the latest Arrow OS 13.1 Rom. My recovery is TWRP.

I used to be able to backup my entire system on my other phones with TWRP, test a different ROM and switch back to my old "live state" of the backup if necessary.

Unfortunately, I can't do this on my Mi10T Lite. A backup without errors is no longer possible here (presumably because of the super partition?)

Can someone please explain to me how I can make a complete backup of the entire system so that I can always return to this point if necessary? I'd like to avoid having to set up my whole phone including apps all over again just because I'm testing a Rom.

I hope someone can help me please.

Thank you very much.
