[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] calawide:
Hello guys, with 2 unit of XZ2 I have same behaviour. Both were stuck to Android 8.0.0 and it was impossible to flash them with XperiFirm. I succeed using NewFlasher (H8216_Customized IT_52.1.A.3.49-R4C ). Now both of them start in Android 10. The problem is that after going in fastboot mode and flashing "boot.img" when I restart in recovery, the product show for 1 second the lineage recovery menu then it turns off, turn on again and remain stucked at SONY logo... HELP, please

Review of lineage 21: nothing has changed, the braking curtain, wheezing speaker. In general, as it was before
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Panohoshi:
Sorry if it's a little late. But this might help.

You can try flashing it using newflasher and the H8216_Customized UK_52.1.A.3.49-R8C firmware. After flashing, you can immediately enter fastboot by pressing volume up and plugging the USB into the phone. Flash boot.img as usual. After the flash process is complete, remove the USB and wait a few seconds. After that, press and hold the power and volume down buttons. When the Sony logo appears, keep holding the button for 4 seconds. After that you can enter LineageOS recovery.

Recovery OK, but after flashing with no error "copy-partitions-20220613-signed.zip", when I sideload "lineage-21.0-20240517-nightly-akari-signed.zip" at the end I receive this 2 ERROR:

ERROR: recovery: Current SPL: 2024-07-05 Target SPL: 2024-05-05 this is considered a downgrade​

ERROR: recovery: Denying OTA because it's SPL downgrade​

Install completed with status 1.​

Then if I continue sideloading "MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20240225_232108.zip", I receive this ERROR:

ERROR: recovery: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)​

If I try to reboot the phone remain stucked on SONY logo.

Any Help?

I did a lot of research and could not look at the exact model because the device was locked, but when I researched the motherboard, I found out that its model was 22101316G and that it used MT6877 chipset. I need test points.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] trnfrht:

[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] mvikrant97:
You don't need test points.

You need to first install the Mediatek Drivers in your PC.

Assemble the device, turn off the device and then press and hold the volume up and down together and plug usb to connect in BROM mode. If you have installed the drivers correctly then your phone will show up as Mediatek USB Port under device manager.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ghosty999:
It's more likely to be a technical variable or user error rather than the guide being incorrect as it has worked for me twice and a few others.

There is no other current method since there is no custom boot loader as of yet. Are you in the EU and using the EUX firmware from bi-frost?

HOW TO FLASH FIRMWARE ON TAB A9 SM-X110 (INDIA)

1. Go to Download Mode by Pressing "Volume + and Volume - " Button.

2. Download Odin (Try to using version 3.13.1 or later)

3. Download Firmware file from here "https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-X110/INS" (India only) (4 files are there Download Only AP, BL, CSC file no need to download Home file)

4. Check Binary version whether it is 1 or 2 before downloading the firmware file. In my case it was 2. (How to know binary version? See the above image there you can see that B2, NS2, Kb2 .... so the number 2 is present everywhere it means my binary number is 2)

5. Extract all downloaded file.

6. Now in Odin select AP, BL and CSC file only. (in my case no need to select CP, because it's WiFi variant)

7. Now click on START.

DONE

Note. Before that download USB drivers and restart your PC.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] polygonjuggler:
Since my phone broke, I'm about to buy an already unlocked refurbished Pixel 3XL, but I want to root it, and I'm a little overwhelmed by all the guides here on XDA, and elsewhere, talking about Magisk 7 or Magisk zip and Magisk manager, while the current version (2024) is Magisk 27, and is only one app (No longer using a Magisk Manager).

I feel somewhat safe by being able to download the stock image file from Google itself, and by not having to unlock the device because it will be previously unlocked, but rooting it with instructions from 4 or 5 years ago (which is completely normal due to its release date) makes me nervous.

Do any of XDA's guides still stand true in 2024, if I use the latest Magisk app instead?

One of the guides I read here recommends reading this post: https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...45.1512547610.1715943606-376305379.1715943606 where the author talks about flashing the boot.img with TWRP recovery, but most current instructions talk about flashing the boot.img file with Magisk itself. So I'm not sure what guide to follow.

Please, can someone shed some light on how to root the Pixel 3XL in 2024, with the latest Magisk and TWRP, or even better, without using TWRP altogether, if possible?

A link to which tutorial/guide to follow would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. If you think there's a guide for the Pixel 2XL that could be more helpful, in 2024, I can change my mind and buy an Unlocked Pixel 2Xl instead, but I suppose a year younger phone might be in better shape, or not, who knows...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
I came from Samsung to xiaomi. I always was curious xiaomi as it has a powerful components, super fast charging, IR port, heart rate sensor, dolby vision screen, 144hz and many times xiaomi phones are cheaper. Basically I was angry on Samsung that competition has got so much more advance features and could not understand why Samsung not going to get these nice features after so many years. Therefore I went for xiaomi 13t pro however after 3 months of used I have to say I did mistake. Xiaomi software is so buggy and is literally disaster. So many features which are free on Samsung in xiaomi you need to pay. Autofill Samsung pass service is the best and it's free. Software is perfect and it works whereas in xiaomi I have to restart phone every 2 days otherwise camera is so laggy it's ridiculous. Plus I was on holidays and one time recorded videos were without sound other time recorded videos came with the error showing time 00:00 and I can still watch in xiaomi phone only. When I transfer these videos on others devices won't work. Shame I find out about this after all full day when I recorded so many videos. Phone restart helped. Phone is overheating, when I was on holidays (35°C outdoor) phone was so hot, and slow. None the same issue is happening in my s24. Xiaomi gallery is another poor app. Many photos cannot be read even if they were taken by the same phone xiaomi 13t pro. I got error saying "not recognised format". 144hz does not work, screen goes max to 120hz, xiaomi is a scam.

I had so much issue to transfer data from iPhone to xiaomi it's ridiculous. Did it have so much problems with Samsung. Smart switch does the jobs. Before If you ask, I tried smart switch on Xiaomi, it didn't work.

I watched so many videos about camera and it should be better unfortunately camera is so bad, front camera is disappointing.

I regretted I purchased this xiaomi 13t pro. Now I know it's worth to pay more for reliable smartphone like Samsung.

Hi, I want to access my whatsapp database on an old Android phone (A5 2017), I need the key for it. Using whatsapp's backups / chat transfer features will not work for my case.

I know I need to root my phone in order to access the key, but I was told rooting my phone would also delete my files, which is a problem because I need to access the key.

Would rooting it delete my files? And also, are there any video tutorials for it? Because I find a lot of the existing tutorials are hard for beginners to follow. I found this one:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] IsHacker:
Actually, rooting doesn't delete data, but unlocking the bootloader does. If your bootloader is unlocked, you will not loose any data while rooting, if you follow the guides properly. If your bootloader is locked then you can copy the WhatsApp folder somewhere safe and restore it after unlocking the bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] IsHacker:
There's no specific guide, but you can check this thread:https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-root-after-january-security-patch-sm-a520f-a5-2017.3739225/. Most of the video tutorials are useless.

How do I know if my bootloader is unlocked?

And one more thing, would you be so kind as to show me where in this video the person unlocks the bootloader? Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] IsHacker:
He DIDN'T unlock his bootloader in the video, he already had it unlocked beforehand (that's why I told you the video tutorials were useless). You can unlock your bootloader by rebooting to bootloader and typing "fastboot oem unlock", after enabling OEM unlocking in developer options. If it asks you to confirm the unlock, press the volume up button. If you don't remember unlocking the bootloader yourself, then it is obviously locked. No phones come with an unlocked bootloader by default, and unlocking the bootloader manually erases your data and voids your warranty.

And on Samsung devices, the situation is worse.... you won't be able to use any Knox features, even if you relock the bootloader later.

If you have any problem understanding any term, or if OEM unlocking option wasn't found in developer options, post here again.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Gameoholic:
I understood your explanation, thank you very much.

So if I understood you correctly, I should root my phone first, then get the files that are usually locked and inaccessible (whatsapp encryption key), then unlock my bootloader, then place them back?

I found this tutorial for rooting my device: https://xdaforums.com/t/howto-root-twrp-a5-sm-a520f.3557622/

The problem is that it says around the middle of the post:

"

make a backup of data choose to storage that backup on your micro sd card! internal will be wiped!

Check on flash, wait untill it finish."

If the data is deleted before the phone is rooted, how will I be able to access my whatsapp encryption key?

Unless I misunderstand?

I really appreciate your help, you're very kind

EDIT: I just realized the tutorial I found is useless, because some of the images and information isn't loading. So I again ask, is it OK if I follow the video tutorial I mentioned earlier just for rooting, then I extract the whatsapp key, then unlock the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] IsHacker:
Well, you need to unlock the bootloader BEFORE rooting. And I Just found something. Whatsapp's encryption key is located in the /data/data/com.whatsapp folder, which can be accessed with ADB. You can just use "adb pull /data/data/com.whatsapp" to copy it to your pc. You don't need root for this!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Gameoholic:
I've tried it, and I get the following error: "adb: error: failed to stat remote object '/data/data/com.whatsapp': Permission denied"

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] IsHacker:
It actually worked for me, but i found it doesn't work on newer android versions like android 8 (which the phone runs). If I find any other way to root without data loss I will post agin.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] IsHacker:
I found something else. you can use:

adb backup -noapk com.whatsapp -f backup.ab

It will backup your Whatsapp data to a file called backup.ab on your PC. After rooting, you can restore the backup using "adb restore backup.ab" and then your encryption key will be there in the "/data/data/com.whatsapp" folder again.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Gameoholic:
