[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ciottaciotta:
My Poco F3 with locked bootloader and stock ROM was unable to turn on this morning after charging and it shows "The system has been destroyed" screen.

I think some of the system files suddenly were damaged or corrupted.

Developer options and USB debug were NOT ACTIVE.

If I keep Volume UP +Power >> "The system has been destroyed" screen

If I keep Volume DOWN +Power >> It goes on fastboot mode.

Anyone can suggest a procedure to flash the stock rom and see if this unbricks the phone ?

Thanks in advance for your time.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Your only option is to EDL flash a rom. You'll have to take it to a xiaomi service centre for that or find a third party to do it remotely.

Also, I'm surprised how we don't have a leaked firehose loader for this phone even now when it is EOL.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lcdss:
That's why the first think I did was to unlock the bootloader when I bought mine in 2021, but even so, I tried to flash a custom MiUI rom at the time, through fastboot, and it corrupted some critical partitions and my phone got completely dead. I had to enter EDL mode opening my phone pay a guy to install the original ROM remotely. Only when the recovery rom was released I had courage to flash again.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ciottaciotta:
@user0u and @lcdss

Thanks for your clear answers. Given the fact that the Phone had no pin code/screen lock is there a way to mount the DATA partition and read the content ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
I am not sure. It may be possible but even then only through EDL mode. Perhaps using QFIL you could backup partitions if you had a patched firehose? It has been a long time since I used QFIL so I can't tell precisely. But even then we don't have a firehose.

Edit: I guess one could possibly dirty flash the same ROM via EDL mode. That should fix it without erasing data. But I'm not sure whether EDL flash automatically erases data or not.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lcdss:
Have you tried accessing fastboot mode and reflash the original recovery image? Fixing it would let you access recovery mode again and then do a factory reset (as system partition may be corrupted, may not work). If it still doesn't work, you could try downloading your stock rom (try to match the version you have on your phone), extract it on your PC, follow the instructions in a file named install.bat, and then you run the same commands (only what you need) to erase the userdata partition. You may as well try to fix system and other partitions that make sense to solve your problem. If nothing works, only EDL + full stock installation can help you. There are some programs that do that easily for you and you just need to buy credits to get the Xiaomi authorization. Good luck!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ciottaciotta:
@lcdss @user0u

Thanks for all your replies and pardon my ignorance.

My goal now is to access the data partition and copy out some files from the phone (pictures).

Given the facts that bootloader was locked, there was no encryption active on partition, only fastboot works... Is there a way to access data ? (edit: when I say data are not encrypted I mean the old guy using it had no lock screen code on the mobile. So please correct me If my assumption is wrong)

If so can you be specific with a step by step explanation ?

thanks in advance for your time
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
I think the data is encrypted no matter if you have a screen lock or not. And again, you cannot do anything except via EDL mode. Fastboot is useless since the bootloader is locked and usb debugging is not enabled.

[Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro / Redmi K70E] st. trina:
hI everyone, I got the Poco x6 pro 12/512. I got it from Amazon from a seller who had good reviews, but later (I know, I should have done it sooner) I checked the same seller on Google and he has many negative and ambiguous reviews like selling phones without box seals, used instead of new, or with a warranty from other countries. However, Amazon protects me in case something happens, but I would like to know how to check if everything is OK when the phone arrives.

To be precise, I would like to know how to check if the phone is original, how to check if it has been used or if it is used or refurbished, if it is 100% new, and I would like to know what the box should be like when it arrives. Sorry if i sound paranoid but I would like to be 100% sure that everything is ok and that he doesn't want to scam me

thanks in advance for the help

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $Monty:
I have a Motorola E2 - Surnia XT1527 8 Gb P2.

The Flash Boot shows the DEVICE IS LOCKED Status Code - 0

It doesn't boot into safe mode.

It seems stuck in some boot loop.

Android is starting

then

Optimizing Apps - it runs through apps numbered 1 to 140. With each new attempt at start it stops at radmon numbers but never reaches the 140. At whatever numer it stops at you hear a ka-ching sounds and then a spinning circle comes on screen. The circle will spin till the battery dies.

The phone was working fine till it was mistakeningly switched from user to guest mode.. When restarted it went into the boot loop described above.

My main concern is I would really like to transfer photos and videos from this phone onto my laptop. As far as I know there has been no backups made anywhere, no backup accounts setup.

Is there any software I could purchase that might help me. or must I look at hiring an expert to recover my files.

Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED... THANK YOU.

Does not look like there is a lot of custom ROM support for it either which would eliminate the bad support from Moto.

[General Questions and Answers] sqhills:
Hey guys, I recently built an itx PC with ROG b760i and an rtx 4060 connected via a pcie4.0 riser cable.

Occasionally, on heavy GPU load, the display freezes and there is current noise in the analog earphones. No BSOD, so I was forced to hold down power button to halt the machine and wasn't able to grab the minidump.

In event viewer, there were a huge bunch of WHEA-17 warnings(like 10-20 per second) on the pcie-x16 bus device of the motherboard.

When I connect the GPU directly, the issue doesn't emerge.

When I turn off PCIE Native Power Management, the WHEA-17s get less frequent(seldom appears), but PC still freezes occasionally.

When I set pcie-x16 speed to 3.0 and turn off PNPM, everything is fine.

But later I found out that rtx4060 only has pcie-x8, and with my setting, only 3.0x8, which is kind of a pain in the ass.

In conclusion, I'd like to know how to make pcie4.0 stable with a riser cable. Do I have to buy a new cable, or is there a software solution?

My spec:

MB:rog b760i latest bios

cpu:12600kf

gpu: gigabyte 4060 oc

RAM: kingbook ddr5 16Gx2

ssd: kioxia sd10 1t pcie4.0

Power Supply: Thermal Take sfx650w

OS: Windows 11 latest

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
1. Riser cables can be finicky. If you’re using a low-quality cable, it might cause issues. Consider investing in a high quality PCIe 4.0 riser cable. The best quality PCIe 4.0 riser cables are from LINKUP.

2. PCIe 5.0 riser cable is now also available. AFAIK at Amazon it costs a whopping 80 €.
[General Questions and Answers] sqhills:
Guess I didn't get the name right.😂

I'll take a look at LINKUP's cables. The thing is that I have a compact chassis that needs a 185mm cable with reverse interfaces. I'll take a look whether there's a compatible one.

I honestly doubt they can really make quality 5.0 cables since many 4.0 cables aren't even stable. Probably only at unacceptable price I suppose.

By the way, there's a new solution that converts pcie into oculink and then back again, guess I'll take a look at that, too.

Thanks for replying.

I change my sd card from 2gb to 4gb,but i see that my battery discharge very fastly.... Its dipends from the memory of storage card??

Im so sorry for my english,i hope that you understand my problem
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
That should not make a difference, the only time I saw any sort of battery drain or speed decrease was when I went to a 16gb card, and then it was only a small amount.
[HTC Excalibur] kaarstmobile:
Maybe the card needs to be defragged?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
You should never defrag a solid state disk "card"...
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Exactly, solid state cards do not require a defrag as it will do nothing.
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I think the same is happening with my Dash (HTC S620 on Rose Rom 1.7 remade by Stylez and Ricky). I went from NO MicroSD card to a 4GB MicroSDHC card with a speed claimed to be class 6 (about 5MB/s write, 13MB/s read). [of course im not expecting the phone to be able to use this entirely]. Anyway...I was looking at the files on my phone and discovered a program called bkondisk (assumably an executable) I don't know how it got there, but its constantly 'flashing' so when i put the grey bar (selection bar) over it, it starts to flash very fast. I also noticed that in the HTC Album (not the regular Photo viewer, but the nicer one included in the ROM) it wont let me switch from photo 1. I changed my camera options to store pictures to the MicroSDHC card, and i cant switch from the first (and only) picture i had taken under that setting. It also seems to have doubled that picture and placed an identical copy of it next to the original.

Maybe this file bkondisk is using up battery power (im assuming because it is constantly flashing, usually signifying usage).

Any ideas?

Edit:: Stupidly, i forgot to search the forums about bkondisk before posting it. So I did, and i figured out that it is a ROM dumper (for what i gather). I still dont understand why it would be flash though....

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Sloobot:
I see. I believe its doing this because the current software version that you have installed isn't avaliable on the THL csc and it can't figure out which one is next. What I advise you to do is change your csc back to EUX update then change back to THL. This is how I do it personally and everything works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] eddiedimitris:
this was not necessary on older Samsung mobile phones. Has anything changed? Is there a permanent solution so that I don't have to do this every month? Thank you very much for the answers
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Sloobot:
The problem is that the version that ends with XEF that you have isn't avaliable for the THL csc. The July update has patches but nothing major. EUX receives updates a lot faster so you can change the CSC than set it back to THL after updating. Or you can wait for the update to arrive on the THL csc. Or you can download and flash the firmware but it's complicated and not worth it.

Similar to Samsung's Dual Messenger (with adb/shizuku to install non-messenger apps) and Xiaomi's Dual Apps feature.

I see the Moto Razr+ has a secure folder which technically clones the app / user profile but I was wondering if Motorola has an explicit feature in this space since Secure Folder doesn't show its badged apps in the same launcher side by side. (intentionally)

Island / TestDPC won't work for me here because I do actually use a work profile from employer which is useful to keep.

Currently on Samsung, I can use Dual Messenger to get the orange badged apps as well as Work Profile to essentially get a 3rd copy of the app

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Felipe9999:
Yesterday, my phone turned itself off at some point in the day and when I tried to turn it back on, nothing happened. It won't respond to trying to enter recovery or fastboot either.

What I've tried:

- Booting to OS, recovery and fastboot

- Turning it on when plugged in

- Connecting the phone to a cable and wall wart without actually connecting it to AC for 10 min, then charging it for 1 hour (read this would help somewhere else and thought it was worth a shot)

- Charging the phone overnight

Is there anything I can do to get my phone back up and running?

Running stock Android 11 rom, with unlocked bootloader and Magisk installed, with no issues for the past 6 months.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] BlindMint:
I am running LineageOS 21 on a OnePlus 8 Pro that is rooted with Magisk, and I would like to install some new fonts, mostly for reading apps and such for better readibility.

Can fonts be safely copied to /system/fonts/ ? If so, can .otf files be added or are only .ttf supported?

Does /system/etc/fonts.xml need to be edited?

I have seen a few minor comments across the web that doing so can break your phone, but a lot of those are in relation to renaming a new phone to match an existing one and overwriting it (I'm guessing to avoid having to edit fonts.xml?).
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] sqhills:
You can't modify /system directly because it's protected by AVB, which prevents boot when you modify. Also newer devices with super partition can't receive new files even with avb disabled.

If you're sure your device doesn't have a super partition, you can try to disable avb and then copy the font files.

However the better way is to use a magisk module to add the files. I'm sure you can find quite a lot of font modules if you dig around.

As for the other issues, I don't really know much.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] BlindMint:
Ty for the reply. I think a Magisk module might be the way to go, then. I'll see what I can find.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] ismujo:
Hello everyone, i'm new on this device forum (Galaxy A50) so greetings.

let's talk about the problem

months ago this device was given to me as gift and it's got water damage and broken screen

so i just repair it anyway by myself and the phone still working for light daily use.

when i play some online games i just got random hangs meanwhile the device isn't overheated nor ram / space issues (6/128 variant)

i managed to try use custom roms & kernel it's run more smoothly but the hang still there, occurs randomly.

but the exceptions here, when going to play youtube videos, movies or scrolls the social media it's behaving normal, no hangs occurred.

and additional things that probably makes it clear about the repair :

cleaning the mainboard & daughterboard

repasting

checking for any corrosion

because at the first charge this device

throws up temprature warning when trying to charge it

i've remove some component on the daughterboard (according to youtube)

reflashing using odin (and got reflashed to stock again after using lineageos)

because the frustation i just inspect all the components in the mainboard, reflowing it

more cleaning and because weak signal issues i soldered an laptop antenna into this phone wifi pins as temporary solution

but the hang still there, even using low setting ingame didn't help either. so is there something happened there or just the defect on the phone itself ?

I am glade to read that after 6 years a new rom is available for my SHT-W09.

i am an happy Trebledroid vanilla A14 user, but i thought i should flash kernelsu.img to have root on my M5.

So i decided to test flashing boot.img (my kernel is 4.9.149), the first strange thing is that i get an error like this:

./fastboot flash kernel boot.img
fastboot: error: cannot load 'boot.img': No such file or directory

The file is there!!! Once a time a flashed successfully it but when i started my M5 it rebooted in fastboot mode. I think it is due to the different kernel i use. So i restored my kernel.

At the end i give up flashing kernelsu.img, i can live without root.
