Brother can you tell me what vgo tel note 23 is rebranded of?
[General Questions and Answers] ADNAN BASHIR:
Dear this phone is rebanding of Oscal Tiger 12 , please us all customization of that phone , i have lost my imei & network setting by use of blackview shark S8 firmware v3
[General Questions and Answers] haseebtehsin:
Hi, yes this happened to me as well. I have specified a tool in my previous comments which you can use to restore your imei information. I found some differences in Oscal Tiger 12 and Blackview Shark 8 and due to which I ended up going with the blackview firmware. Currently I am using voltage OS custom rom and it runs great and offers many customizations. I just wish there was a way to add double tap to wake feature which I couldn't find anywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] ADNAN BASHIR:
Dear is your network is working correctly , i mean 2g,3g&4g , beacuse i have restored my imei but my phone still get only 4g signal . 2g & 3g is not working on my device .

bruh my phone's fastboot and recovery mode doesn't work, it says no command on recovery and screen freezes if on fastboot, any idea how to fix this? , i also have to root the same device vgotel note 24 because of android 13
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmad Ali AK:
AoA, bro ,I want to flash a custom rom on vgo tel note 24.

Could you please guide me on how to unlock BL,root or flash custom recovery & rom.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmad Ali AK:
Brother,can you share the BL u lock steps, custom recovery, as well as rooting steps & the custom rom flashing steps.
[General Questions and Answers] Average android guy:
Fastboot screen doesnt do anything anyway. Connect it to tou

It doesnt have custom recovery, you can unlock the bootloader by using paltform tools.

Make sure to turn on OEM unlocking in developer settings

Put your device in fastboot mode

In fastboot, give the following command "fastboot flashing unlock" and proceed on the device.

Bootloader should now be unlocked.

This device doesnt have any specific custom rom, you'll have to install GSI of your choice for custom rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmad Ali AK:
Can I root device, & how to install GSI rom. Is not GSI risky
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmad Ali AK:
Have you done that
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmad Ali AK:
Adnan, can you provide the link as well as step by step guide for flashing rom. I will appreciate that
[General Questions and Answers] ADNAN BASHIR:
Brother not recommend for this device because of problem of finding modification, also you have to face too many bugs too
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmad Ali AK:
What if I just want root? Is that possible without getting into errors or bugs
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmad Ali AK:
At least,Can I root my device safely ?
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
You can simply backup all your device partitions using SP Flash tool.

My best advice would be to use MTK Client if it supports your device CPU.

Enable the Readback ShowByScatter Flag to true in the options.ini file in your SP Flash tool folder.

[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
Now rename all the files with appropriate extensions like they have originally.

Check the original scatter file for exact name and extension.

For example

seccfg >> seccfg.bin

logo>> logo.bin

cache>> cache.img
[General Questions and Answers] H-J:
I found out using the SP Flash Tool method above while checking the names. Userdata.img and BMTPOOL are not read back. userdata just looked up information, it seems that it is not a necessary partition, it is just used to mount external user data.

I searched BMTPOOL from Google and it seems to be: Handling bad block management

I have tried before to read it back by scattering the address and length provided but it doesn't work and tells me (address or length bytes are not aligned)

Do you have a way to read it back, or is BMTPOOL an unreadable firmware?
[General Questions and Answers] mvikrant97:
Why do you need BMTPOOL and userdata?
[General Questions and Answers] H-J:
Well, I misunderstood. I didn’t check carefully what BMTPOOL refers to. I always thought it was a partition for repairing data operations.

, Google's gemini generated incorrect information, which led me to ask this stupid question: BMTPOOL is an area in the MTK platform Android phone firmware specifically used to store Bluetooth firmware. It is located at the end of the MBR partition and is typically 1MB in size. The Bluetooth firmware stored in BMTPOOL contains the driver and configuration file of the Bluetooth chip, which is used to control the Bluetooth function.

BMTPOOL handles bad block management

The MTK platform firmware includes a bad block management mechanism to handle bad blocks in BMTPOOL. The bad block management mechanism marks bad blocks as unavailable and excludes them from the BMTPOOL. This prevents bad blocks from affecting the normal operation of the Bluetooth function.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itzParsaYC:
hmmm, did you tried holding the power button down?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affe2000:
maybe the battery has to be charge to a custom level to execute the factory reset?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affe2000:
yes i tried everything and all timings with the power button
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itzParsaYC:
nah, just hold down the power button for 20 seconds, if its not working and bootloader is locked, you may have to give your phone to guaranty
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itzParsaYC:
or connect the phone to pc and execute this command in cmd:

adb reboot
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affe2000:
bootloader is still locked. holding power button for 20s just boots into this screen
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affe2000:
i dont have an adb or fastboot connection, because adb debugging is not enabled
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itzParsaYC:
no need for this, just connect it, phone is in recovery mode

not android, just do whatever i say
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itzParsaYC:

[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] Pak0St:
Hi there, my Velvet began bootlooping a few days ago.

I've managed to a few things - from flashing stock firmware to bootloader unlocking the device.

However I have a teething issue - it continues to bootloop. The biggest hint is the log when the device is "Erasing" the data as can be seen in the screenshot bellow.

Any ideas on what exactly needs to be cleared here?

Note:

- To access this log, press Power+Vol Up when the "Erasing" screen is showing.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] Pak0St:
This is super irritating. Using working Velvet, I've copied over:

- persdata

- persist

- p_persist_lg

- boot_a/b

- recovery_a/b

- drm

And nada - nothing. Same error.

Are those cursed partitions hiding elsewhere? Can they even be reached with QFIL?

I can't use LGUP to try chip erase either - it throws the TZ Unlock error:

- https://xdaforums.com/t/lgup-1-16-3-patched-found-and-works-with-lg-wing.4357211/post-85945099

Which is weird as the firmware should match according to: http://lg-roms.com/ (IMEI not listed in: https://lg-firmwares.com/)

I'm open to any suggestions 😄

I don't see why this couldn't be done, the Oppo Find N3 is essentially the same phone...

There's instructions on here how to flash the Oneplus open ROM on the Oppo Find N3 so it should be possible to do the same only the other way.

I believe it should be the same steps only instead of using the Oneplus ROM, use ColourOS, though I haven't done this as the Open isn't available in Australia except through grey imports. We have the Find N3 only in Oz...
[Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Questions & Answers] kosta00z:
After I downgraded Redmi note 9 Pro through recovery from MIUI 14 to MIUI 12.5.5, it doesnt work on this rom. Cannot make phone calls (call ended straigth away), apps dont work as should work, phone is restarting from time to time, and no sound on youtube. In service told me it is a software problem and cannot be solved and I must use some other rom like MIUI 12.5.2, 12.5.3, 13, 14, but not MIUI 12.5.5. Its a global version phone. Does someone else experienced the same? Can I solve this problem on MIUI 12.5.5 somehow? I want MIUI 12.5.5 because it has best camera on this rom.
[Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Questions & Answers] NOSS8:
A downgrade is not done with revovery but with Miflash or fastboot method with a fastboot rom which contains all the system images unlike the recovery rom which are used for updates.

[Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Questions & Answers] kosta00z:
Maybe I should have done it with fastboot and unlocked bootloader and it would have been good. But I did it with recovery firmware changing the name of the firmwares. Now the motherboard probably have software changes from the update MIUI 14 which cannot be erased with hard or factory reset and those prevent MIUI 12.5.5 to work. And also MIUI 12.5.4, 12.5.7 and 12.0.3 dont work.
[Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Questions & Answers] NOSS8:
Strange enough that the phone is not bricked and in any case the proposed solutions only work with the unlocked bootloader.

Unlock the bootloader and use a fastboot ROM:

I did it, but its useless now. Cannot erase software changes which prevent those roms. I thought is there some miui debugger or something.

Hello Salvo, in my eyes 3 years ago when I first entered XDAForum, you were a god for creating impressive projects, OdysseyNote8 is one of the projects that reminded me of when I was young. Own a J5 2016 for myself, every time I remember that project, I get extremely emotional and feel nostalgic when I re-experience the feeling of the past, when I learned about Custom Rom, Android Nougat. You have been a ray of hope in my eyes, the one who created KnoxPatch, the one who created UN1CA, the one who maintained the Custom Rom and the Samsung development community. Thank you, Legend

Ok, I'll start writing here I guess. I don't know exactly how to express my words, but here it goes.

Salvo, your work was a legend and still will remain so.You are and will be remembered in everything that meant Samsung. From my A8 2018 to the S10+, S20Ultra and the A72, you had at least a contribution. I am so greatful right now, greatful for all you've done.

Trust me when I say it, I know how bad it's been, I'm sorry. I truely understand you and what you've been through. Although I don't develop yet, but hope to learn to do that, I know what kanging means, I know how bad it feels. I too was in your place. I work in the music industry as a beatmaker and producer.

But that matters the least. What I wanted to tell you is that I get you, we're on the same page.

Salvo, all I wish right now is you to feel good. I so much hope that everything's good for you now. I hope it passed, hope that you're ok, pray it won't happen ever again. I hope you'll stick around a while from time to time and communicate with us here and there, if so you wish.

Salvo, I know this is my first time writing to you, but it's been so great knowing you. I am so happy to know you, happy that the world still hosts some great people like you.

Remember not to let yourself down, fight on and go on no matter how hard it is. Life's hard many times. Things are way too hard many times, seemingly harder than we can take. Although we can pass over everything for as long as we live Salvo, please remember that! Don't let yourself down, keep on hoping, cut the wings of those who do bad to you, and stay safe.

Lots of luck, hope you heal yourself, and you'll do as time passes by. Appreciation, the best, stay safe. Both you and those close to you. It's been so amazing knowing you, Salvo!

Hello Salvo,

I've read your heartfelt outpouring and couldn't help but feel the weight of your experiences. The passion and dedication you've poured into the Android modding scene over the years are remarkable, and it's disheartening to see the circumstances that have led you to step away.

The tech community often fails to acknowledge the effort and innovation that developers like you bring to the table. The issues of "kanging" and lack of support are real and disheartening for even the most passionate enthusiasts. It's a loss for all of us that you choose to withdraw, but your health and well-being must always come first.

Thank you for sharing your projects and knowledge with us, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors. May you find that magic again in other areas of your life, as intense as the one you found in modding.

Sincerely, Gleydson S.
