[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Rockyuk1:
Hello Everyone,

I used to love Nokia until now, they released a security update which has now put my phone into a boot loop. The security update affects the WIFI drivers only, so you can use the phone if you turn off WIFI. Support told me to factory reset the phone or send it in for repair. Which is a joke as the phone is for my elderly mother who does her banking and medical-related stuff on it. The phone now after a factory reset is useless unless I can reflash it with stock firmware somehow. I will never repurchase Nokia after this their support has been disgraceful!

Does anyone have an idea for a stock firmware or secure alternative I can flash the phone with, please?

Thanks

Rockyuk1
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
MTK Client can be used to flash the device and downgrade it.

But the only problem is that you would need to disassemble the phone and short pins to get it into BROM mode and flash the device.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Rockyuk1:
Damn, was not looking to have to dismantle the phone. So, if that is the only way then the phone is useless thanks to Nokia!
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] mvikrant97:
Yup that's a shame.

You cannot downgrade it using fastboot mode unfortunately.
[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] Rockyuk1:
Thank you :cry:

Context:

I bought a Redmi Buds 4 pro around a year ago, but for the past few month, its battery acted kinda weird, when I was at gym while having my earbuds on, I feel like its battery drained kinda quick within 1 and half hour and when I checked on my phone to look at the battery status, both of the earbuds power were drained unequally, like the left earbuds remain 65 but the right earbuds remain 50 etc...

Besides that, when I turned on gaming mode for the earbuds and have a few round game around 40 minutes, and the earbuds started to notify me that my earbuds were running out of battery, then I put them into my charging case. I looked at the status on my phone, as soon as I put them into the charging cases, my phone shows that both of the earbuds battery suddenly went into 70% from 5%, but not equally, only left turned into 50% from 10%.

I tell this situation to the Xiaomi store assistance, they told me that the fast charging charger will damage the earbuds battery life (I used the Xiaomi 67W chager to charge my earbuds) I should use the old xiaomi charger that will not quick charging.

So I was wondering, will fast charge chager damage the battery life of the earbuds even the wire actually connected to the charging case not directly to the earbuds itself?

Edit: I was using ANC function most of the time

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
1. The first step is to identify the exact model number and brand of your Chinese radio. This information is usually located on a sticker on the back of the device or in the settings menu.

2. Next step is to check device's CPU-architecture: is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

3. Last step is to check whether you can enable OEM-Unlock or not.

Hello.

As every Pixel 4a, my pixel has reached end of life in terms of updates. This means critical flaws can exist and will not be patched if they are firmware side.

Is there anyway of install a custom ROM, no matter which one, and keep unlimited photo storage?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Martin40645:
You can find some pixel roms, they will keep your unlimited photos. Pixel experience has unlimited photos storage, but it isn't maintained for your device. I'm sure some roms have the unlimited photo storage, but you will have to find out for yourself.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Goggle are fear mongers.

If you know what you're doing anything from Android 9* and up is fairly secure. I'm still running Android 9 and 10 on my stock N10+'s with locked bootloaders. Last factory resets where 4 and 2 years ago respectively. No active antivirus running in the background, nor is Playstore.

No infections or malware in all that time. Both loads still are running fast and stable getting very good SOT.

Updates and upgrades can and do break Androids! At the very best upgrading will require finding/learning work arounds if even possible and time, your time.

In my opinion Android 9 is the best; most functional and usable, 10 is ok, 11 is a mess, 12 and above fubar. Google is evil... in case you haven't noticed.

*when released Android 12 had a huge security hole in it if memory serves me correctly. It was quickly patched; even the latest firmware release isn't necessarily safer to use. There's no saving dumb bunnies anyway. Most malware is user installed.

I was afraid more of lack of security updates like in this recent case:

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I don't see many details on it and the word "might" elevate security privileges. Meaning to me it needs a rogue app to begin with to work.

You should already have all critical data backup redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Cloud backup isn't sufficient.

Have a complete reload plan in place including installable copies of all your apps.

All apps that don't implicitly need a internet connection to function should always be firewall blocked (Rethink firewall works well) and they should never be able to auto update especially 3rd party ones.

Be wary of all downloads including jpegs. Keep in the download folder until vetted (at least open them there as in jpegs, look for unauthorized changes in that folder). Scan first with online VirusTotal all apps to be installed or if you are in doubt about a file. Delete without opening any unknown downloads, look daily.

Never open any email or text attachments from unknown or untrusted senders.

Disable wifi if not used, best practice not to use especially on public wifi's.

Keep all social media, sales and trash apps off the phone, they are malware! Game apps need special scrutiny. Police any apps that have internet connection on a regular basis. Back out of bad websites, close tab or browser, and delete browser cache even data if needed. Use a secure browser like Brave.

Reboot once a day or if needed. Androids should always be fast and stable if not there's a problem that needs addressed asap. Monitor SOT as well. Adjust system and individual app setting to maximize security and SOT while preserving functionality/usability you require.

One or a dozen security updates aren't a replacement for your vigilance and good judgment. Every time you update and especially upgrade the firmware you change the playing field. It makes spotting unusual behavior much harder and invariably consumes your time. I spend very little time troubleshooting and a minimal amount of time doing maintenance.

Less down time means more play time!

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Mischief957:
I have had my pixel 7 pro rooted for a few months now with no issues. today a security update released and when I updated I lost root. I figured it was no big deal so I just rerooted it and everything was fine. I then went into Iconify to put all my settings back and when I changed my notification style back my phone turned off. now I can only get to a black screen when I boot the phone normally. I went into safe mode and uninstalled iconify and that didnt help. I also ran this command:

adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules

any help would be greatly appreciated as i do not wanna have to reset all of my data. thanks for reading.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Fishawy:
I had the very same problem about a month ago, but my black screen was flashing. Tried all the above but nothing worked.

Unfortunately I had to reset everything, but cloud backups reduced the impact. Hope someone will be able to offer you a working solution.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
This is why I stopped using Iconify, when it's incompatible the phone is unusable.

But, damn, in my case removing the module worked every time...😐
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] UberNorse:
Exactly the case with me, I believe it started with a setting on the QS tiles then after that most any sort of UI altering change became increasingly risky. I quit using all of those months ago, sadly though as I rather enjoyed being able to add some uniqueness to the vanilla UI.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Mischief957:
What did you do to remove the module? 🤔
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Yeah precisely. Not worth it with such catastrophic failures any more, sadly. I myself used it fit the QS tiles customizations, too, and these are the worst offenders.

I think I've had two such failures in the past. Iirc once I used PF indeed. The other it was Magisk Alpha or Delta that disabled them after repeated failures (these have built in protection).

But, no idea why removing them didn't solve your problem to be honest...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Mischief957:
Yeah I'm using magisk 27.0 everything was going great until that security update. I had to go about a full day without my phone which sucked. I also didn't have a good backup of my stuff so I had to get my pictures off of it then start over from scratch. I love customizing my phone fully but I don't know if I wanna risk using iconify anymore. Although it has cool features I don't wanna deal with resetting my phone consistently.

Do you have any recommendations for ways to do full backups? I'm just started using swift now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
No, unfortunately, this has been discussed many times, but the best solutions are Swift for paid and (imo) Neo Backup for FOSS. there's also DataBackup which is kinda new and looks ok.

Not to hijack the thread but i recommend using color blendr it's great for overriding material.

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] miszkxnx:
Can someone guide me to put a custom rom on A52s? I don't really understand these tutorials anymore and i'm lost. Thanks for all the replies!!
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] jawad12345:
Step 1: Backup Your Data​

Backup your data: Custom ROM installation will erase all data. Use Samsung Smart Switch or a similar tool.

Step 2: Unlock the Bootloader​

Enable Developer Options: Go to Settings > About phone > Software information and tap Build number seven times.

Unlock OEM: In Developer options, enable OEM unlocking.

Unlock Bootloader: Turn off your phone. Boot into Download Mode by pressing Volume Down + Power button. Connect your phone to a PC. Follow on-screen instructions to unlock the bootloader.

Step 3: Install Custom Recovery (TWRP)​

Download TWRP: Find the TWRP image for the A52s.

I wanna install the NcX rom, any tut on it?? Also i read it and isnt there like an easier way with TWRP??
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
The installation instructions for Lineage recovery and TWRP are the same. Once you got TWRP installed just follow the steps described on the NcX thread.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Arm1nas:
You do need it, you can find it in the TWRP installation instructions: https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-3-7-1-0-for-galaxy-a52s-5g.4488419/
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] miszkxnx:
Okay, but if my phone is branded does it impact on anything?? Also how bad can I brick my phone, its my main phone so in case something goes wrong is recovery even an option??
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
No, that usually doesn't matter. As long as you get the "OEM Unlock" toggle in developer options you'll be fine.

Samsung phones are really really hard to brick. Unless you can't read and decide to randomly flash to things you have never heard about you're gonna have a hard time bricking it.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] miszkxnx:
Okay, Just one more thing; there seems to be some like diffrent variants of vbmeta for NCX and should I flash the original vbmeta or it doesnt matter??
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
Just flash the one that matches your phone model and firmware version.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] miszkxnx:
Okay, I got it but I have another issue; I can't copy files into TWRP, i tried changing the data partition to EXT4 and others, fixing data but it just won't let me copy files there
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
Format data, reboot into recovery, run mkdir -p /data/media/0/ in the TWRP terminal, reboot into recovery. However I would strongly recommend not copying installation ZIPs to your phone via MTP as that often corrupts them. Instead use adb sideload, way easier and more reliable.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] miszkxnx:
I'll try

Thanks

What you want is to UPGRADE the curent Android version.

If you can unlock phone's bootloader then it should be possible to flash a suitable custom Recovery and by means of this custom Recovery flash a matching custom GSI ROM - based on Android 13+.

This is my first project. I tried Android 11, but there was a problem with the codes and they were missing.

To complete the problem, I researched by looking at other kernel trees but could not solve the problem (incomplete compilation problem, dtb not compiling)

It gives a driver problem for Android 10/9/8 and I couldn't solve it.

I couldn't find the Android 7 tree, all that was left was Android 6, so I created that.

It works very well on stock ROM and is very stable.

after os ressetting tablet booted and working normally.

Question how investigate what can give me bootloop? Memory is ok, i test it with Flashtool test.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
There are a couple of reasons why an Android device might get stuck in a boot loop. Here are some common culprits:

A: Software issues: This is the most common cause. It can be anything from a faulty app to a corrupted system update. Rooting your device or installing a custom ROM can also lead to boot loops if something goes wrong during the process.

Faulty app: A recently downloaded app, especially from an untrusted source, might have malicious code that disrupts the normal boot process.

Corrupted system update: Sometimes, an update can get corrupted during download or installation. This can leave your device in a boot loop.

Other software issues: Other software glitches like bugs in the operating system or data corruption can also cause boot loops.

B: Hardware problems: While less frequent, hardware malfunctions can also be to blame.

Failing SD card: A faulty SD card can potentially corrupt files needed for the boot process.

Other hardware faults: Other hardware issues like problems with the memory or storage can also lead to boot loops.

FYI:

In many cases, you can analyze logcat to identify the reason behind an Android boot loop. Here's how:

During bootup, the system logs various messages including what components are loading and if any errors occur.

By examining the logcat output, you can potentially find error messages or repeated logs indicating a process stuck in a loop. These messages might point towards the root cause of the boot loop.

Here are some things to look for in logcat:

Look for lines containing "E" (error) or "W" (warning) especially around the time when the boot process seems to stall. These messages might directly indicate the failing component or process.

If you see the same log messages appearing repeatedly, it could signify an infinite loop preventing the boot from completing.

While logcat can be helpful, it requires some technical understanding to interpret the messages effectively. Here are some additional points to consider:

Accessing logcat: If your device is stuck in a boot loop, you might need to access logcat from a computer while your device is in recovery mode (refer to your device's specific instructions for entering recovery mode).

Complexity: Log messages can be technical and cryptic. Searching online forums or communities for similar error messages specific to your device model can be helpful in understanding their meaning.

To capture only boot-related events via ADB, you can filter the logcat output using tags. For instance, to filter for messages with the tag "BootReceiver" and higher priority levels, use:

adb logcat -v tag=BootReceiver
