[General Questions and Answers] Melomi:
Basically the title, if I want to flash gms into my device i see multiple files but not really an explanation on what they mean

com.google.android.gms-240913002-hw.apk

com.google.android.gms-240913002.apk

One is apk the other is hw apk. What gives?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Short explanation:

com.google.android.gms-240913002.apk: This is the more generic version of the GMS package. It should work on most devices without any hardware-specific customizations.

com.google.android.gms-240913002-hw.apk: This version likely contains the core GMS functionalities along with additional optimizations or features designed for a particular device or hardware type (indicated by "hw" in the filename).

In essence, both files could install GMS, but:

Use the generic apk (com.google.android.gms-240913002.apk) if unsure. This is the safer option as it has a wider compatibility range.

Use the hw apk (com.google.android.gms-240913002-hw.apk) only if you know it's specifically designed for your device. Using an incompatible hw apk might lead to instability or errors.

Issues​

Samsung proprietary stuff (VoLTE, WiFi calling, etc) does not work. This is due to limitations of custom ROMs, these will likely never work.

NFC does not work.

The ROM shows a warning about the phone's hardware being damaged when it boots, it is meaningless, just press OK and use your phone.

The gist is, Meta remotely soft-bricked my headset, told me it was out of their warranty, and offered to sell me another.

I bought the 128 GB headset days after it launched, and not by the end of the year it stopped pairing with mobile apps (which also prevents enabling Developer Mode). Meta support has wasted my time with over a dozen tickets and even more representatives, and the last ticket told me my headset was out of [their] warranty, and they had the gall to offer to sell me a refurbished one. I was actually at a loss of words and had to re-read their response a few times just to be sure, re-messaged them with the concern, and they threw it right back. Never-mind the response; what's the guarantee they won't just planned-obsolesce the next headset when it's out of their warranty? They gave none, and I asked. I have been the model Oculus/Meta user; no strikes, migrated Oculus to FB to Meta, full developer hub verification, and 2FA; hundreds of USD spent in their app store of DLC and apps.

I have never seen any piece of hardware and company be this hostile, and I really don't wish Meta headsets to be the standard (and ruin competition) and have others run into this. I personally do not recommend buying any Meta VR headset. If you make the mistake of doing so or already have one, I highly recommend not sticking exclusively to Meta's app store (Steam and etc is fine PCVR) or limiting how much you purchase, so that you don't lose access to purchases if something like this occurs.

is this 'coz of flashing CN774 to ROW240? is it bricked for now? any workarounds? new to this device and been lurking in these threads for the past couple of days. seriously considering buying one over the weekend if sales/promos in my area permit
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
Plenty of discussion going around on this.

CN .774 region locks the tablet, preventing you moving to Global ROM.

You can only move to Global ROM if CN .774 has never been installed.

Tablet can be recovered by reflashing CN .774 or unlocking bootloader and flashing NEC .022.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] johnDavid201245:
change the rom and then see your issue will be resolved
[Lenovo Legion Y700] ZA12GN1:
You can get it back onto 774 by referring to my post here: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-unbrick-lenovo-y700-tablet.4509297/page-9#post-89482354.

Unfortunately, there still isn't a viable workaround to get from 774 to 240 successfully.

However, as @Breed43214 mentioned, getting onto the NEC 022 after getting back into 774 and unlocking the bootloader is a viable alternative for now.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] ZA12GN1:
Unfortunately, there seems like a lot of misinformation being accidentally spread about getting onto the global through RSA without having to unlock the bootloader.

The problem is, a lot of those guides were made before the 774 ROM was released, so many people who just brought the tablet were misled into accidentally bricking their device because they were unaware of the issues associated with the 774 ROM.

Myself included, how I accidentally broke my device was from listening to the tutorial presented by this gentleman:

Of course, he meant no harm to everyone who watched his video, and my intent is not to attack him, but I just wanted to point this issue out. Anyone on the 774 ROM should not follow these guides.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
It has nothing to do with the bootloader being unlocked or not. Even if you unlock it, you cannot move to Global if .774 has been installed.

If I had more free time, I'd dump the frpinfo partition to see if there's a similar region byte lock like in the Lenovo P12.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] ViXoZuDo:
I tried to dump it, but I receive an SAHARA error on QFIL... Do you have any reliable guide on how to do it?

xdaforums.com

I found this one.

You'll need the prog_firehose_ddr.elf from the current version of the FW on the tablet.

i.e if your on .774, use the prog_firehose_ddr.elf from that ROM.

Of course just because the region code is there for the P12 doesn't mean it'll be the same place for the Y700. Worth a look though.

See here about bypass region checking
[Lenovo Legion Y700] stdiocout:
I have a question to confirm, does the current version of the NEC .022 write the region code? I can see that no region code is set on my NEC ROM by typing in ####5993#, but I'm not sure if this is an accurate way to check?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
There are two codes. It depends on which you mean.

There is a region/country code which sets the regional parameters of the software to country specific things (default language and country layout, unlocking upper 5GHz WiFi channel bands per country laws etc). This is set with ####6020# and verified with ####5993#. Not sure how this is changed once set, but I believe it's possible. I think flashing between region ROMs (i.e. NEC > CN > NEC) removes it, but not 100% on that.

There is also a region lock code (sometimes called the secondary region code) which was introduced in Global .139 and CN .761. This is written to a secure partition and can't (currently) be changed. Prior to CN .761 this didn't exist. It also doesn't exist on the NEC ROM (yet).

The first ROM you flash where it does exist it permanently writes the region code to the secure partition, and locks out other region ROMs.

i.e. if you were on <= CN .737 and move to CN .761+, it will write 'prc' to the partition and you will be stuck on CN ROMs from thereon as the ROMs check for the 'prc' code when booting.

If you were on CN <= .737 and move to Global .139+ it will write 'row' to the partition and you will be stuck on Global ROM afterwards as the ROMs check for the 'row' code when booting.

The NEC ROM is the exception as it doesn't write (or check) for the secondary region code so you can currently move from any CN to NEC or any Global to NEC (bootloader may need to be unlocked depending on the version you're going to).

I have a feeling the next version of the NEC ROM might also region lock the tablet, maybe to its own 'jpn' code (and hence also lock out tablets with 'prc' or 'row') but that's just supposition for now.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] goolby:
Edit: @Breed43214 was faster and with a way way better explanation (y)

Don’t get confused, the region code in ####5993# is about access to services and what default apps are being installed after a flash depending on what country you choose and the region code that is discussed above is the one that is set permanently after you flash CN rom .761 or .774 and RoW rom .139 from any other lower rom and it blocks the ability to cross flash between those two regions with or without an unlocked bootloader.

it is set in an undiscovered (yet) region and it is checked at boot.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] stdiocout:
Thanks for making the situation clear. It looks like flashing the NEC .022 version would be a relatively safe choice if the CN ROM is still early.

Hi! I'm traveling and don't have access to a computer. I need to fix my safety net so I can pay with my phone. My bootloader is unlocked but magisk for wiped by the OTA.

Could anyone please send a link to a patched magisk init_boot.img for pixel 7 international, build 14 (AP1A.240405.002.B1)?

Also, why is there no post hosting all these files? Sens like a lot of work for every single user to download the whole factory image and patch it every time.

Thanks in advance!!
[Google Pixel 7] TKruzze:
So you want someone to host patched boot images for every device and every single ROM and monthly update? That would be hundreds or thousands of images every single month! Plus, if you wanted every version of Magisk, it would be that many times more.

Here's my Magisk Stable patched init_boot.img for my unlocked Pixel 7. However, I would NEVER trust anyone, including me, to provide you with something so sensitive and prone to potential problems. The odds that this will help versus permanently bootloop your device is not great. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND PERIL.

EDIT: FWIW, I did verify that my build matches what you wrote.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
I was under the impression Magisk devs fixed it up that the flash to inactive slot now works. I've never done the method, but I believe you restore the stock boot (or init_boot in Pixel 7 or newer devices) in the Magisk Manger app, take the OTA, then do the flash to inactive slot. I also heard that you can run the OTA file through Magisk Manager and it can actually patch from there, and you can sideload the OTA file with the init_boot already patched.

Again, I haven't verified any of these methods for myself and just heard of it being capable, but if true, you can do all of this without a computer. But I imagine what @TKruzze supplied in Post #2 would work just as well. But one should heed his warning in that post as well -- but he seems trustworthy enough; otherwise why else would he make those kinds of warnings if not...

I was always under the impression that the patching was device dependent as it had to patch something attached & identified to your own specific device; until I saw some users posting a patched init_boot every month....

To resolve the activation lock, you will need the Apple ID and password originally used to set up the watch. If you purchased the watch second-hand and it's activation locked, you'll need to contact the seller and ask them to remove the device from their Apple ID account.

I have a weird and annoying bug:

I first installed crDroid 10.4 (the rom from this thread) when it was released, but I did not insert my sim cards at the initial setup.

After configuring the ROM and installing some apps etc. I decided to put my sim cards in. But after ~30sec within the OS (after PIN unlocking the sim cards) the systems hangs and automatically restarts. If I put out the sim cards out everything is working fine. If I disable both sim cards (in the settings) immediately after unlocking them everythign keeps working fine. Reenable any of them will cause the system to hang again. Whatsoever.. the problem is not so wild.

What I did to fix it was wiping data, keep the SIMs in and reinstall the ROM and voila: everything is working.

I decided to fully configure the ROM to use as daily and now crDroid 10.5 came out

and guess what happend: the same problem with the sim cards occured again.

Anybody stumbled across this problem and has any idea how to fix it? Wanna try to avoid installing everything again.

I already tried with different sim cards, only with one sim card in both of the slots.. it doesnt matter.. as long as there is an active sim card inside of the slots the system will hang ~30s after booting the system and unlocking the sim cards and automatically reboot.. no error messages, nothing.. :-(
