[Huawei P40 Questions & Answers] Leon1503:
Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and hope you can help me.

I have a Huawei P40 and after 4 days I managed to downgrade it to Emui 10.1.0.121, but something went wrong. I now have the version as described above with the ending c432e6r5p2. Previously the ending was c432e5r6p2

Since the downgrade I have lost the USB connection and no longer receive OTA updates.

Can someone help me and tell me what I can do or provide the right firmware for the dload because I've been desperately searching for another day

The Google services are on it and I would like to keep them

best regards Leon

Not sure if this is the right area to post this. I have done as much research as i can and have not yet come across any information related to this.

Got myself a Skyworth Leap S1 "Second Hand" from a IT Supply store, it was apparently a floor model so it was going for a good price. Took it home, and iv been stuck on this screen ever since ( been trouble shooting this for almost a year and a half by now).

Initially when i got it, all the bars on the test screen were red.

I Tried and tested a few ways to get these all green, as i figured if it passed all the tests, i could get the device working again. So i setup a router and created 2 ssid's for 2.4 and 5ghz, calling them "LEAP-S1_2.4test" and same for 5GHZ, Using a cellphone i named the bluetooth the same as shown on screen, inserted a fat32 formatted sd card and Flashdrive, aswell as connecting a lan cable. Over time i got all the bars green, and absolutely nothing happened. No buttons on the remote do anything and all the bars show up greyed out?

has anyone come across this before? if so, could you steer me the right direction here? i either feel that this is a unique situation, or im absolutely terrible at researching lol.
[Android TV General] MentoneTangent:
To add to this, i have tried "resetting" the device with placing the file on a usb and restarting the device, all it does is reset my bars back to red.

Bellow is the thread i followed:

[Android TV General] kalehrl:
Do you have a firmware for it?

If so, you can try installing it.
[Android TV General] MentoneTangent:
I Do, and i have. Unfortunatley it just takes me back to this same screen with all the tests back in red. At that point i restart my process of creating wifi & Bluetooth channels for it to detect and "pass".
[Android TV General] kalehrl:
I was able to recover some Skyworth boxes stuck in the test mode with new firmware installation but not all.

Seems like yours is one of those beyond repair.
[Android TV General] MentoneTangent:
Awh man! Bummer. Thanks for your reply, i greatly appreciate it! Looks like it might be time to hand this over for recycling lol.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] zamlkawy:
Hi

I just bought a new Poco f6

now I want to know TWRP .. where could I find it or any custom recovery .. so I can flash anything I want to

I saw here a member said that he uses LineageOS recovery

but also I couldn't find a version to work on Poco f6

I never used LineageOS recovery before .. is this like TWRP .. can i flash Magisk or any .zip .. or it's limited

thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] AntiFanBoy:
From my understanding there is no TWRP for this phone atm, so flashing currently only possible via fastboot.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] zamlkawy:
So how could I install Magisk

The only way I know is via TWRP
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] zalnaR:
You follow the official guide. Patch the boot Image and then flash both boot_a and boot_b partition then you can update the system with the slot method
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] zamlkawy:
It seems the way I know since 2013 is now old-school

Could you please give me link of this official method

I have to wait about 24 hours from now to unlock bootloader

Then I will try it

Hey everyone,

I am using the emoji replacer for quiet some time now (worked top on OP9 Pro) to replace the ugly Android emojis with the iOS ones.

With the OP12 this is not working anymore.

Have working root and Magisk and the emoji replacer module is installed as always.

Does anyone know why this is not working anymore with the current Android OS 14 of OnePlus on the OP12?

Best regards

Friedrich

Hello friends.

When you install Android 15 beta and switch back to Android 14, it gives a proximity sensor error.

To do this, flash the following file with fastboot.

"fastboot flash persist persist.img"

Tested on CPH2581- CPH2573- PJD110, not tested with other devices.

Question; Can IMEI be deleted?

Reply; No, this does not affect the radio or EFS sections.

Remember that if you get a fingerprint error, you will need to reset your device and all your files will be deleted.

If you don't know what you are doing, please do not try this as it may break your device.
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
Don't do that

If you flash persist.img from another person to your persist partition, you will brick tee.

The persist partition contains attention key.

This key is unique to each device.

So you can't flash another's persist.img to your device.

persist.img ( Contain Attestation Key and security item)

ocdt.img (Contain device identify)

modemst1 (Contain IMEI)

modemst2 (Contain IMEI)

View attachment 6113719
[OnePlus 12] xirosiman:
i was about to write that! the persist.img is unique to every device and flashing this is causes problems.

Thanks for your info though
[OnePlus 12] xirosiman:
@snowwolf725 back in nord 2 era, there was a tool called partition backup, and you could take backup to every partition from your device from fastboot.

I found something like that here but needs root..

do you know something?
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
You can use partition backup app to backup partition. (Need root)

Could you give me the link to the tool mentioned in your article?

As I know fastboot not support backup partition.

You only can backup backup partition from adb, recovery, or edl mode.
[OnePlus 12] z.v.a.a.h.i:
No, what you are talking about is completely wrong.

Because this is not an efs file, it is a structure containing entirely sensor codes.

It has also been tested on many devices before publishing here.[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]

@snowwolf725

No this is not true.

Because this file is not related to EFS, it only contains sensor codes.

It was also tested on many devices before being published here.

This file is only for oneplus 12 anyway.
[OnePlus 12] joechow05:
What is the name of this app?
[OnePlus 12] xirosiman:
@snowwolf725 thanks for the info!

yes i think its the same app you posted above.

i said wrong about "tool"

i was taking backup through adb

found it! i dont know if its working for our phones as the developer said its ONLY for oneplus nord 2

Because this tool has not been tested on OP12, it is uncertain whether it will function properly.

Using it carries risks.

[OnePlus 12] clsA:
OK, So I have a backup of my persist.img

so if I restore it with fastboot flash persist persist.img

this will fix the proximity issues after flashing A15 beta ?

Well I flashed my own backup and it does appear to fix the pocket detection issues

Thanks

Not sure I would flash anyone else's file but if you have a backup it's worth a shot
[OnePlus 12] joechow05:
I mean which app can show the "key status"? Thx
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
To check device key status:

1. Open phone App

2. When dialing screen appears, type in the code *#899# . This will initiate the Engineer Mode.

3. Select [Manual Test] => [Others] => [Key status]

I have created device trees for flip 3 based on galaxy s21+ trees by https://github.com/LucasBlacklu .

These trees are fine, except for that the kernel does not build properly, if anyone has any idea how to fix is or can contribute please write a comment.

I have attached build logs here: https://katb.in/afobudukege

i can help build a a14 Shadow Kernel that you can use for your builds, if you want
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] opensourcefreak:
I was just going to post it here, but I actually managed to build the kernel with some patches from https://github.com/LucasBlackLu . The issue I have now is that i can't find a module load list for Flip 3, then we *should* be good to go but you can never really be sure. If you have these for some reason please tell me! But we could try and use a prebuilt kernel to see if we can get anything working... If you do build one for a14 hit me up.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Shadow Of Leaf:
i think i had a module problem with touchscreen in twrp because there is 2 screens and audio and a lot of things you need to add them as modules, you have 2 methods , you can include them on your kernel or you can push them to system/etc/modules , the module list will be included in b2q_config in Stock Kernel in Samsung open source, but leave this to me i will try to work on it today or Tomorrow

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] popolou:
Hey everyone

Long time XDA nut and Andoird tinkerer but real world has taken over (kids, family etc!) so not been following developments. Need some guidance please.

Have a very typical boot loop situation with my G8341 after it tried to free up space. Always reboots at the Android splash screen. Can get into fast boot etc no problem. Obviously want to try and recover the situation without data loss (or at least retrieve some stuff off the internal storage) so could someone kindly explain my options?

Cheers

Pops

- Edited to add -

So it seems that a recovery whilst retaining the internal storage is possible using newflasher (beyond v52) and flashing only the OS partition. Sadly, it does not move me on much further.

Cheers

Pops
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
It really depends on the state of your phone and how exactly it got stuck like this.

Is it rooted or bootloader unlocked?

What was it cleaning up?

You could start by just entering recovery and clearing the cache, but I not longer recall if Sony has a user accessible recovery as Google does.

Most of the caching/clearing operations are altering data and/or cache, and not the system partition, so I would be very surprised if re-flashing the OS would make much of a difference - my understanding is that normally only gets modified by the system (OTA or via flashing.)

If you do update, you should make very certain that it's the same version of Android - or later - because there's rollback protection built in so that you can't downgrade the OS to one with a security vulnerability and then access the user data.

All those caveats in place, yes, it's possible to flash just specific partitions via newflasher - e.g. just recovery, system, or clearing the cache. Make sure to stay away from any .ta or persist files and userdata would wipe your data.

You could also try using the Xperia Companion tool - which I think has some recovery options - or the Emma flash tool.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] popolou:
@tonsofquestions Thanks for your note.

You are spot on about the system partition and any realistic likelihood of recovering it by just flashing the OS. Spent yesterday and today flashing multiple different firmwares from different markets to see if that allows me in but it's no go. And yes, Sony did not give the XZ1 any recovery partition to fall back on.

My suspicion is that when the device crashed, it was reading/writing to the userdata partition. Either there is some corrupt file in there that the app was writing/reading to at the time or the userdata partition itself is affected which is causing the boot loops.

I'm exploring whether i could install a recovery but that requires unlocking the bootloader. I understand unlocking will then wipe the device - surely there must be a method to unlock it without wiping? Dumping the data from the internal storage is all that i suppose matters at this stage and i haven't looked into this since my early Xperia x10 days!

If anyone has any guidance or options at this juncture, i'd consider it before despair kicks in!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
Yes, as I mentioned in the other thread, https://xdaforums.com/t/does-unlocking-the-bootloader-wipe.4676936/post-89565081

it's very much a security issue, and being able to just dumping the partition would be a massive vulnerability to user data.

So unlocking without wiping isn't available - at least not to us mere end users.

Have you tried booting booting into safe mode? https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-enter-safe-mode-android-801476/ (the second set of instructions, starting from power off).

I don't know what app or file is causing problems, so you may not be abie to easily fix it even if it works, but it's worth a try.

One question for you to consider, though: what do you expect to be able to do once you get the phone booting again? You can't easily back up apps if your phone isn't rooted (which I imagine it isn't). I guess perhaps it's more about the other files (e.g. downloads/storage) than the app data itself.

Perhaps what you need is already on the SD card?
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] IsHacker:
The primary goal of Redmi 9a users is to install a 64 bit rom (because the processor is 64 bit but the stock MIUI and most of the custom ROMs aren't) and that is lineageOS 20, not 19. It's also Android 13 (who wants outdated versions?) and it's not smooth at all. Actually it can't even be used after rooting. Also if you have MIUI 12.0 firmware you can unlock the bootloader instantly using mtkclient, no need to wait for 7 days. This phone is just trash, I have 2 of these and one just died due to short circuit or something and I'm planning to throw the other one away! The smoothest experience I have got is by first flashing full MIUI 12.5, then lineage 20 64 bit, and then a pre-rooted 64 bit GSI (magisk seemed to be the problem, it's because of it that lineage 20 became unstable and unusable after rooting, so I went for a GSI with superuser baked in).
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] raalph1:
If you want 64bit you need at least 4gb ram. End of story.

I had on this phone android 10, now its android 12. So its better, it will last longer.

Phone has only 2gb ram so I think android 12 is max :cool:

I can agree that you need some effort to make it sharp. Thats why I made tutorial. Lineage 19.1 is the only way for this beast ;)
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] IsHacker:
I believe not using a 64 bit os when it supports 64 bit is not using its full potential = wasting money. Anyway I will still throw it away even though it's wasting money because literally I hate this phone lol.

I have a Nokia 3, it is running 64 bit android 9, has 1.2 ghz processor, 1.8 GB ram, supports 5ghz wifi and nfc (unlike redmi 9a) and it's also from 2017. But it doesn't lag like the Redmi 9a. Maybe because of android 9, but I feel like even if I get it to android 11, it wont lag as much as this stupid phone. The phone is just e-waste. Anyway before I throw this damn thing away i will try a 64bit oss rom that will be soon released and see if the situation improves.
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] raalph1:
Heh its lagging because you simply dont understand that you shouldnt install 64bit rom when you have less than 4gb of ram 😅

Stop complaining and use my tutorial and see on your own eyes how good this phone can be :cool: its much better than on miui 12.5.
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] IsHacker:
As I said in that post I have a Nokia 3 from 2017 with less than 2gb ram which runs 64 bit android 9 and it doesn't lag. I strongly hate using 32 bit os on 64 bit processor. I also suggest you remove those photos, it hurts my eyes! Again, a 64 bit rom DOESN'T need 4 GB ram at all. I have seen many other phones/tablets that run 64 bit android 9/10/11 with 2 GB ram and they don't lag THAT much. (I don't know why they don't lag actually. Maybe they have a faster flash chip or a better processor? Any way the Redmi 9a is horrible. It doesn't even support 5ghz wifi, beside the lag!)

Edit: I'm still not losing hope. I will try that rom I was talking about. It consumes less ram!
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] raalph1:
Today I found ArrowOS 13.1 rom with gaaps. Maybe there is also hope for android 13 :p looks promising, maybe will test it if I find some time but for now will stick with A12.

I like how this phone is charging battery :cool: 1h charge = 40% so no fast charge on this beauty. Battery will last longer.
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] IsHacker:
Yeah it that's true this thing has a whopping 5000mah battery (shows 5077 mah for me lol) and charges decently fast (the only good thing about this phone). I also found this telegram channel:https://t.me/Blossom_Support. It has some good roms.

[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] IsHacker:
I also found android 11 64 bit oss ROM in the telegram channel, it's actually very light, phone has over 900mb free on homescreen on average. Tested it on my 2nd redmi 9a. Actually anything android 10+ would do for me on this phone (because I need wireless debugging), and this ROM is actually great. Rooted with magisk 27.0. The biggest problem with this phone is actually the wifi, it doesn't even support 5ghz 😥
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] raalph1:
Why you need 5ghz? For LTE 2.4ghz is enough and it has higher coverage area when using hotspot.
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] IsHacker:
I don't have a sim so I can't use lte. I totally depend on wifi. Why I need 5ghz? Because it's 2024! No one uses 2.4ghz in 2024 ! And i mostly stay close to my router so I don't need higher coverage.
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] GnuTheGreat42:
I own that phone and I can agree with IsHacker: this phone is pure trash... why ?

- It lags, and has ULTRA bad performances, even on simple apps on STOCK ROM (stock rom should be the best experience for it's phone: it isn't)

- Why the hell older versions of this phones are actually way better than it ?????

- I use this phone for 4 years now and I sometimes simply want to throw it from a 96th building floor...

- You can't use it without cleaning cache every time you close an app or open one.

Do not bother buying this phone, even at a such cheap price it's pure garbage, just take some from a bin: it will be easier, free and waaay faster...
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] raalph1:

[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] GnuTheGreat42:
I hope you're right because my phone is completely useless, but can I ask how to enable zram ?
[Redmi 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] IsHacker:
Zram is supposed to be enabled by default. It doesn't help. You can try to create swap or enable memory extension (if you are using MIUI), but it won't help with lags too. I recommend the android 11 oss rom for best performance on this phone. And did you see I mentioned that one of my Redmi 9As died due to short circuit? I actually just threw the phone straight into water. This phone is absolutely e-waste, thanks for agreeing with me!
