[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] KiLua_lk:
Hello there! I use a OnePlus 7 running LineageOS 20. I want to install latest Project Elixir which is android 14. But i have lineage recovery and fastboot.

Can I use them to install Project Elixir? (And how?)
[Windows 11] VoxPlays08:
so i replaced my hard disk with a new one but it still has an old windows 10 os. I use another ssd with windows 11 which is my main os. so i want to format the HDD but while doing so it says disk still in use. i even disabled the boot sequence for the hdd but the same problem appears again. any help is appreciated.
[Windows 11] SigmundDroid:
Last time I saw this it turned out the disk itself was broken.

(Well, blame me, why would I trust an SSD with 5yr warranty by Gigabyte, LOL, GRR!)

Anyway, have you tried secure erase from BIOS? Both SSD and HDD can perform this, so be careful to pick the right one.
[Windows 11] xXx yYy:
@VoxPlays08

You're on the right track! Even though you disabled the boot sequence, the old HDD might still be mounted by Windows 11.

Formatting a disk in use is impossible. Here's how to tackle this:

1. Disk Management:

Open Disk Management. You can search for it in the Start Menu.

Locate your old HDD. It should be easily identifiable by size and disk number.

Right-click on the volume section of the HDD (the bigger section) and select "Offline."

Now, right-click again and choose "Format." This should allow you to format the drive without the "in use" error.

2. Command Prompt (Admin):

If Disk Management fails, open Command Prompt as Administrator.

Type diskpart and press Enter.

Type list disk and press Enter to see all connected disks. Identify your HDD by size.

Type select disk X (replace X with the actual disk number of your HDD) and press Enter.

Type clean and press Enter. This will erase all partitions and data on the HDD.
[Windows 11] VoxPlays08:
Thank you for the help. I fixed it.
[Windows 11] SigmundDroid:
Excuse my curiosity but how - disk managment, BIOS or something completely different?
[Windows 11] VoxPlays08:

Grabbed recovery, persist, boot image files for the VT-7 from a working unit. Can someone turn recovery into flashable twrp image?

Connect to the device using ADB. Once connected I issued the following commands:

adb root

then

adb shell su -shell dd if=dev/block/by-name/recovery of=/storage/emulated/0/recovery.img

adb shell su -shell dd if=dev/block/by-name/persist of=/storage/emulated/0/persist.img

adb shell su -shell dd if=dev/block/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img

adb shell su -shell dd if=dev/block/by-name/boot of=/storage/emulated/0/boot.img

Once those are completed, you can pull the files like this

adb pull recovery.img

adb pull persist.img

adb pull system.img

adb pull boot.img

UPDATE:

So I flashed these 'good' files onto a tablet and the results are nauseating to say the least. The screens now look like how dumpster fires smell, the machine bootloops and pretty much all of /system/bin/sh is missing which means issuing shell commands no longer works :(

Pics to come soon. Had to walk off my frustration.

Should I update my patch approved OnePlus 9 pro model LE2127 it is currently on Android 11?

If I update it will the patch go away? It is my first time buying a patch approved phone
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Maxdemon5346:
Yesb
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Not sure what you mean by patched approved!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Uchiha-IBVS:
It is a thing in Pakistan where you replace a phone IMEI with old phones IMEI
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Your out of my league then. Sorry.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] shadabkiani:
You have to ask the person where you got the patch from if its permanent or not. I have OP9 regular. First it was A11, and I updated to A13, patch went away. But then I took it to shop, and he said that luckily permanent patch is available for OP9 so that time, he got me permanent one. Now I run all kinds of ROMs without any problem.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Uchiha-IBVS:
When I bought this phone it was already patch approved so I don't know if it is permanent or not
[OnePlus 9 Pro] shadabkiani:
I think you can go ahead and update. If it's lost, you don't have to worry because permanent patch for this phone exists. It cost me 2,500/-.

It's the Pixel phones that don't have permanent patch.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Uchiha-IBVS:
Well I have no choice bcz today I got a notification that the software is outdated and the phone will be automatically updated on 2 April
[OnePlus 9 Pro] shadabkiani:
Yeah go ahead. Just note down your IMEIs in case anything goes south, you can have them reverted because I know permanent patch exists.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Uchiha-IBVS:
Original IMEI or The patch One?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] filjusz:
Why not both?

Yeah so I updated it to android 13.1 and patch didn't go away so it should be no problem if I updated to android 14?

Hello

I am still studying the possibility to switch from Pixel 8 Pro to Oneplus 12, the Oneplus has everything better but the curved screen (more a matter of glass protection than something else) and the cameras.

I watched and red some comparison between both phones, but unfortunately all of them were posted before they infamous update that made the Oneplus cameras better,, specially the zoom one.

Even a comparison of before/after the update is hard to find, so I hope that someone here has an article with photos showing the improvements done to the cameras?

Unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot of a comparison, but OP Dev's team is releasing a lot of fixes for it in these weeks.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NOSS8:
What error and with what program?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bozinsky73:
You need to delete 4 lines in .bat files (they contain flashing procedure) in main folder of the extracted rom, since they refer to the anti-rollback feature, that as the name says, doesn't allow downgrade your miui version.

They are just under the files title, usually from 3rd to 6th. Just check that they contains "rollback"
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Arnob10:
Can I contact with you bro? Please check inbox.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] NOSS8:
If it's a problem ARB edit the "flash_all.bat" script and remove these lines.

echo %anticheck% | findstr /r /c:"pass" || @ECHO "Antirollback check error" && exit /B 1

Edit- found a solution. Post not needed. Thanks.

Good morning all,

Happy with the update, for starters.

The only issue I'm facing is that I keep getting errors whilst trying to download language packs for the AI features etc.

Being in an 'unsupported region' I usually resort to using a VPN to access the galaxy store, but although I can download the packs, I keep getting errors whilst installing. I've tried googling to side load the packs but I'm not having any luck.

Any tips, or possibly the language apk's themselves?

Thanks all !
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
If you mean additional language packs beside the 12 (or so) languages supported by AI-functions, they don't exist.

Reason I dumped Samsung Internet browser after 6.1, as it translation possibilities are now too limited.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] albiGib:
I cannot download and Install any from the options given.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] albiGib:
Edit - figured out a solution.

Hi, that's great to hear - could you be so kind and share your solution, as it may help others with the same problem?

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] albiGib:
I disabled the sim card, from the sim manager.

I also deleted the downloaded language packs completely.

Then rebooted the phone, logged into a vpn, stopped and cleared the galaxy store cache and data, then reloaded the app.

Downloaded the language packs as normal.

They now update normally through galaxy store.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] throwback1718:
my internet sharing isnt working

It worked fine with my first mogul but

after I went to sprint and got a replacement phone,

I tried to use the internet connection sharing. I press on connect

and the error that keeps coming up is

Error code 67 registration failure your pcs vision username and or password may be incorrect

why does this keep coming up? did the person at the sprint store set up my phone correctly?

what could I do to fix this problem??

the phone by itself goes on the internet perfectly without any problem
[Mogul, XV6800 General] lepapirriky:
the same thing happend to me, i guess they wanna charge us for sharing internet also.

I got mine fixed by downgrading the Rom back to 3.35.651.2.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ilusnforc:
I'm having the same problem. I know about a year ago I was using my mogul on the older ROM that was out at the time just fine as a modem. Now that I'm using the newest ROM with WM6.1 it doesn't work anymore, keep getting the same error code 67. Has anyone found a way around this with the most recent ROM version? I'm trying to tether with USB.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] cloves:
I would suggest everyone flashed over to dcd rom. It not only restores internet sharing but the speed difference in dcd destroys sprints 6.1 update. I mean literally destroys it. I was going to drop my mogul and get a new phone till I flashed over to this. The flashing is pretty simple too.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] crobs808:
Well, everytime you flash it erases the username/password you had in the setup. I don't know about Sprint, but for Verizon you have to put in your phone number @ vzw3g for the username then 'vzw' for the password

username: 2145551212@vzw3g.com

password: vzw

domain: (blank)

To get here go to Start, Settings, Connections (tab), Connections, Manage Existing Connections, click "Edit" on your Data connection, then "Next" twice

You will see the username, password and domain boxes.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] lepapirriky:
same here, is the only solution to downgrade the rom? are they any other besides that? its lame from sprint that they would let us use int sharing...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] marriotheblackguy:
Share Internet Fix

Get a registry editor like PHM or Total Commander and delete this entry: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing" and delete the string value named "Extension" once you have deleted that file your done. Reboot your Mogul. Now you can use internet sharing again.
[General Questions and Answers] SnowwyXD:
I installed gsi rom with fastboot, but I typed one wrong command. I typed fastboot delete logical partition system_a.

But it should type fastboot erase system_a

I don't know what I should do.

Now it said partition doesn't exist.

My device infinix note 30 5G

model MT6833

Dimensity 6080

Can anyone help?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Erasing the system partition will delete entire operating system and user data: it doesn't matter you used

command fastboot delete-logical-partition system_a (what on some devices is a supported command) or you use fastboot erase system_a: the effect is the same.

What you can do: Install a custom ROM that's suitable to the phone.

Here are the basic steps:

Unlock Bootloader - if not done yet

Find a Compatible Custom ROM

Download ROM and Tools: Download the custom ROM zip file and any necessary flashing tools like SP Flash Tool from reputable websites.

Flash the ROM
[General Questions and Answers] SnowwyXD:
There's no other way? Because I don't know what flashing tool Infinix uses, I tried using the sp flash tool and there was a problem that required removing the battery and unplugging the usb.
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
You can use the command:

fastboot create-logical-partition <partition> <size>

The only thing you need to know is the partition name, in your case "system_a" and the size. You can try without the size first, If it doesn't work, you would need to copy the same size as "system_b"

If all of this fails, flash the Stock ROM using fastboot.

Ps. you can use fastboot set-active b to boot your ROM in the other slot by setting it active, at least until you find a solution.
[General Questions and Answers] SnowwyXD:
How can I check the size of system_b?
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
Here is the list of Fastboot commands and their usage instructions. My guess would be: fastboot getvar all should display every piece of information you can get in fastboot. Otherwise, Obtain the Stock Super.img and flash it.
[General Questions and Answers] SnowwyXD:
this correct ?
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
No, vbemta_system is vbemta for that partition and is not system_b (size is waay too small), you can post a screenshot of the full getvar all while hiding or clipping the part that has personal info (such as serial number and such)

Edit: it should look something like this: (this is from my device which is a different phone, don't copy the same size)

(bootloader) partition-size:system_b:0x4E779000
[General Questions and Answers] SnowwyXD:
Here the full pic
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
Yeah, I will say this with only 70% confidence, but I think the size doesn't matter as long as you don't exceed the size of the remaining empty space in super. When flashing to super.img, as a dynamic partition, it should resize and "inflate" automatically to fit the desired required size.

At the end of the day, you want to create that system_b partition (no matter the size), and if you want to make it bigger later, you can use resize-logical-partition. Just go for 1000000 as a start and see where it goes.

Edit: I just realized that you're in normal fastboot, as evidenced by (bootloader) is-userspace: no. You would need to be in fastbootd mode to see the contents of super partition. Use this command while in normal fastboot: fastboot reboot fastboot to go into fastbootd mode (if your device supports it). When using getvar all, you should see is-userspace: yes.

My advice above still stands, or find your stock ROM and flash super.img
[General Questions and Answers] SnowwyXD:
Do you have a recommended size of system_b to create a partition? Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm very new to this.
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
Ok. You said in the first post that you wanted to try using SP flash tool, right? Then, inside of that Firmware folder for your device is a file called: super.img. Take that file and flash it in fastboot using: fastboot flash super super.img NOW you're back to square one before you started to tinker with your device. Then you can try your GSI experimentation again :)

When I open Google Authenticator, the codes do not change after the timer cycles. I have to close the app and reopen to get a new code.

Tried:

Time correction for codes -- not adjusted because clock is in sync

Cleared cache

Cleared data

uninstall & reinstall

unsynced from google account

but no result.

I googled for such a problem, but did not find any solution, despite several people complaining for the same issue, and many of them owning motorola devices :unsure:

any idea?
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] Meowdib:
I use the Bitwarden TOTP. I stopped using Google one before because I wasn't able to back up the codes or something to another authenticator; I think they back up the codes to the cloud now. Not only that, but, I just don't trust Google apps as much as I used to. They are buggier than before and could end up just discontinuing anything at any moment.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] tjohn9999:
i use aegis. Its open source and not dependent on google or any other spying software company. I think that it is pretty good for that purpose. If you do switch make sure to back up the secret keys of each login and then try entering the number of each. You don't want to delete something and not be able to use it later.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] prirai:
As an alternative you can use keepassdx, Aegis, Authy or AndOtp or Bitwarden (premium needed). All of these support TOTP and the setup procedure is similar as google authenticator. But you can also add many other services for OTP as your wish.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] kt-Froggy:
I have the same problem (just got this phone today from my carrier). There is no need to close and reopen the app - just swipe down to refresh the codes, that's it. I was surprised by this behaviour, as I haven't seen it before on any other phone. But to me it's a minor inconvenience, doesn't bother me much...

Hy

does Fairphone5 with eos support SD Card NTSF format?
[Fairphone 5] SigmundDroid:
Not sure what your question is:

1. Does 1TB work?

2. Does it work with NTFS?

I am pretty sure eos will work with 1TB (bigger cards always work (unless technology changes)). What 1TB did you get, how fast?

As for NTFS I don't see any reason to use such archaic file system permanently and I doubt it is supported inherently by eos. After much testing over many years (partitioning, with or without encryption, formatting by phone or windows or linux, FS like NTFS, exfat, ext234, f2fs, btrfs) I simply reverted to adhere to the advice and tools from SDCard.org (and keeping their exfat instead of phone formatting):

SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac | SD Association

www.sdcard.org

Every single time I didn't, sooner or later it blew up eventually (including many photorec sessions).

PS: Outside phones however, eg on USB-sticks I do use whatever is needed/wanted.
[Fairphone 5] captain_iglo:
my samsung 1tb sd card works fine with fat32..........

Does it work with ntsf.......(you can copy bigger fles).......?
[Fairphone 5] SigmundDroid:
I don't think eos supports ntfs but on other phones I tried it and it did work well, even with OTG...

Hang on, just testing now with OTG (edit: USB stick) and NTFS... Yes, that worked OOB with LOS13 LOS20/Android13 (and a video > 2GB).

Once I find an empty SDCard, I'll try again NTFS on a card.
[Fairphone 5] war4head:
My SDcard have 2TB and all work nice (don't know what is fs - android is format card for me).
