[OnePlus Nord 4 / Ace 3V] LazaruXSoda114:
To admin: Please move this post into Ace 3V's page once its device page is established

To reposters: If you repost this to other forum, like CoolAPK, please notify me in the comment

Ace 3V is a high Performance-Cost device, sells only ~300 USD (~2200 CNY) in China, while provides ample functions, like NFC, infrared, etc.

This device might attract a lot to buy and flash, while the stock ROM is BS, if you bought the device, lots of problem is waiting ahead

This post would include the problems I've met, hope this will help you guys avoid a bunch of mess

0. Install ADB, add it into Windows system Path

Please google it, there's plenty of instructions

1A. unlock Bootloader

Turn on Developer Mode

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flashing unlock

fastboot flashing unlock_critical (I don't remember when we started to use this command)

1B. Magisk Root

Don't do it before you've flashed TWRP ! ! ! (would be better if 630 ROM is flashed too)

(Thanks to CoolAPK user 小陈acu, who shared these info in his / her posts at CoolAPK)

Spoiler content hidden.

小陈acu also posted this ↓ strange phenomenon at CoolAPK

2. Button Combo failure before ColorOS 14.0.1.630 (short for 630 ROM)

(Note: ColorOS is the stock ROM of Ace 3V, if you're not familiar with OnePlus / OPPO's devices)

Before update to 14.0.1.630, Volume Down + Power Button will enter Recovery instead of bootloader

Anyway, use 630 version or ColorOS Pro (mentioned lower in this post)

3. Stock Recovery is BS (Important! Must flash TWRP in all situations!)

Stock Recovery has no function other than reboot and Wipe data

Which means, if you failed to flash a GSI (system partition goes BOOM), and using stock system before 14.0.1.630, you can only send it to repair shop

4. TWRP can't flash regular update pack

ＯＮＥＰＬＵＳ！ＳＨＡＭＥ　ＯＮ　ＹＯＵ！！！

The super partition of Ace 3V contains tons of BS, including my_company, my_preload and so on, these BS weren't included in regular update pack.

Which means, if you failed to flash something and reboot into recovery (TWRP, not stock recovery), the only ROM you can flash is ColorOS "Pro"

Difference of using experience between ColorOS and ColorOS Pro is, the "Pro" variant removes preinstalled Chinese APPs. This Pro variant is maintained by Color597 from Telegram.

Another difference is, the only way to flash it, is using TWRP to flash the package

The newer ColorOS Pro is based upon ColorOS 14.0.1.630, Button Combo is fixed.

5. Some GSIs doesn't work

- crDroid 10.5 v2024.05.15 bgN slim by Nazim, doesn't work

- LineageOS 21 20240526 bgN by Andy Yan, doesn't work

- PixelOS 14.0 20240630 bN slim by MisterZtr, doesn't work

- AOSP 2024-06-21 11997608, working on DSU (tester: Kx2sK @ Telegram)

Need furthur test on GSI, please comment below if ANY GSI works on your ACE 3V
[OnePlus Nord 4 / Ace 3V] toyoco:
Thanks for posting! Does ColorOS Pro variant support OTA updates?
[OnePlus Nord 4 / Ace 3V] LazaruXSoda114:
It'll receive some software OTA, but unable to update to 630.

Except to support the author via Alipay or WeChat Pay (~3USD if I remember right) and you'll get 630 newer update (he's rely on that to make a living, I think)
[OnePlus Nord 4 / Ace 3V] KevinC4_:
Is it possible to flash the Ace 3V to OxygenOS?
[OnePlus Nord 4 / Ace 3V] LazaruXSoda114:
Yes, color597 from Telegram already made a OOS for Ace 3V, ported from Nord 4

It's not a totally ported version, still has some bloatware remained

1. Flash COS Pro 630 before flash the OOS

2. Need to clear User data before boot

3. Use TWRP to flash it.

4. Flash it in both A/B slot

[vivo X100 Pro] virosynth:
Hello all,

Anyone experiencing an issue with saving burst photos?

To reproduce:

Take a burst photo

Navigate to the burst photo via Albums app

Click blue Burst photos icon to reveal all photos taken during the burst

You will notice now that the "Save" button is greyed out" which is ok as nothing is selected.

If you try to mark which photos you would like to save the "Save" icon disappears altogether making it unable to save any photo from the burst

View attachment 6120113 View attachment 6120114

I use this feature frequently to capture fast action so I know 100% it worked before the last update which I installed today (PD2324DF_EX_A_14.0.18.0.W20)

I have opened a case with Vivo but would be nice to see if others are affected by this too.

Thanks
[vivo X100 Pro] virosynth:
Thanks for the reply,

To address all the hints:

No further update available at the moment (tried to force check)#

I did this for Camera and Albums app, issue still persists

I did that and it didn't help

I have 380GB free on main storage so no issue here

Same behaviour in safe-mode (no save button for burst photos)

I just did that so let's se how good their support is as I have never used it before.

I will update this thread as soon as I have some info from Vivo.

In the meantime if there is anyone with V2309 out there on the same software version please let me know if you're also affected.

Thanks
[vivo X100 Pro] vivo fan:
it works for me , i could choose photo to save,
[vivo X100 Pro] virosynth:
Hello @vivo fan

I can also chose the photos to save (mark a tick-box) but can you actually save it?

What software version are you on?

Do you have global version of the phone running FuntouchOS?

As an update regarding Vivo support, they asked me to provide bug report supported by video, apparently this has been now escalated to the devs so now I've got to wait.

Thanks

Get the latest TWRP for your phone. v3.7.x is out, or check out the latest Orange Fox instead. OF is pretty reliable and useful once you get used to its interface. There was a problem introduced in A12 regarding decryption and the recovery updates fixed it.

[General Questions and Answers] Tech SM Pro:
My YouTube watch history isn't working on device only. I've been using the revanced version of YouTube for a long time so when saw this problem I thought it's something with revanced as it also happened previously. So I did issued a bug in their github but after some troubleshooting they asked me to try using the stock app to see if that's working and alas it's also not working there.

I've some possible causes in my mind but I'm not sure if these are the causes and most importantly even if I knew I don't think I could fixed it.

So basically there was no issue until I did the following things-

*I use lineage os custom rom and I was in version 20(android 13) for quite a long time so I updated the rom to version 21(android 14)

* While I was at it I also thought about getting root so I also flashed magisk

Now I'm not sure if these are causing the issue because the problem didn't start immediately after doing these rather some videos were saved in the watch history and after a while the problem occured.

Things I tried to do-

All basic troubleshooting like clearing data, force stop, reinstalling, trying different versions , even trying different revanced versions

I also tried getting google play integrity as it doesn't work on root (but it didn't help of course)

I don't know what's causing this and how to fix so please if anyone knows anything do help me.

Device -- OnePlus 5(A5000)

Os -- 21-20240625-NIGHTLY-cheeseburger

I was able to use the touch screen with the flip cover closed on stock rom, but not on this one, any fixes?

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Update MTK bypass tool online (safe site only!). The configuration settings might not be compatible with your phone's specific MediaTek chipset.

Redownload the tool (corrupted download maybe?). Sometimes downloads get corrupted. Try downloading the tool again and ensure a complete download.

BTW: While the tool is generally for MTK devices, there's a chance your phone model isn't fully supported.

Recently, I discovered the param.bin file in the stock file and when I unpacked it, I found images like the splash or LPM screen. So I tried to modify these pictures in GIMP and repacked the whole thing and flashed it onto the phone, but the only things that change are that when I try to boot recovery or system, an error shows "cmdline: parameter modified" and the look of the download mode is broken and when I flash the stock param.bin, everything works again.

I never touched the adv-env.img file. I figured out it stores something important and guessed it could be env. variables off the "env" in the name.

Thanks in advance

[Android TV General] Samarimama:
Can I turn an old Android TV box into a Chromecast or just install Android TV or Google TV ?
[General Questions and Answers] Keronei:
The device is branded Samsung A54, 'about phone' says it runs Android 13, however when I run `adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release` I get 8.1.0 which is similar to what is displayed on Android Studio when the device is connected.

I installed the 'CPU x' app from PlayStore and it reports the following:

CPU: Octa Core 2.6 GHz MT6580

But `adb shell cat /proc/cpuinfo` reports the following:

On developer options, I have enabled 'OEM unlocking' option. On the props I have observed the following values:

[sys.oem_unlock_allowed]: [1]

[ro.bootloader]: [unknown]

I have run a couple of commands to unlock the bootloader as follows:

fastboot OEM device-info

> FAILED(remote: unknown cmd)

fastboot flashing unlock

> FAILED(remote: Not Implemet.)

fastboot OEM unlock

> FAILED(remote: unknown cmd)

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

FAILED(unknown status code)

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

> FAILED(command write failed (No error))

If I run the above command several times, the connection is lost and when I run `fastboot devices`, I get:

> ???????? fastboot

The main problem with the device is that it runs on an old version of Playstore and I haven't found a way to update it, I can download the latest apps but some of them apps like WhatsApp reports that 'You need to use the official version of WhatsApp to access your account', I have cross-checked the WhatsApp version and it is the same as other devices that have it installed from PlayStore, I even pulled the APK using ADB and tried to install on another device with official WhatsApp and the system reports "Do you want to install an update to this existing application?", meaning it is the same package ID. It appears there is some form of interception or issues with the OS

[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
is your device's Bootloader even locked at all? (oem settings can't tell you if it is)........

Samsung devices use odin, fake samsung devices don't use fastboot nor odin, instead they can be used in BROM mode to flash/unlock. Use mtkclient if you want to modify your device. Backup your preloader/brom/boot before doing any modifications. (every device has a different button combination to enter brom mode, usually you press them while connecting to the pc/mtkclient using your usb cable)

Also, I'm not responsible if you brick your device :)
[General Questions and Answers] Keronei:
@Slim K This is a Spreadtrum processor, I thought mtkclient is for MediaTek?

It is locked because I tried to flash vbmeta and it returned an error that the bootloader should be first unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] the exynos hater:
MTK client to unlook the bootloader and also backup the thing...cause there isnt firmware for it so backup the entirety from mtkclient GUI
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
It could be the unisoc SC7731E or the MediaTek MT6580. Personally, I guessed it to be mediatek because:

The manufacturer is listed as "alps". This is extremely common in fake clone phones.

The info from /proc/cpuinfo could/would be faked when it is obviously a clone phone. I also trust CPU X more in that regard. (it uses many clues from the device to find that out)

Mtkclient wouldn't hurt to try, since you don't need to make any permanent changes to test.

as stated above by fellow member @the exynos hater , you should backup everything first if you don't have the complete firmware. If it is a unisoc CPU, then we can explore other stuff.
[General Questions and Answers] the exynos hater:
it is the MT6580 cause its a useless CPU and that what its used and also dont forget that they can lie what CPU gpu android version and other bullshize i hope you dont mind forgeting that unison is also exploitable anyways have a good day sweetie
[General Questions and Answers] Keronei:
After trying mtkclient and unisoc-unlock without success, I went for the modified fastboot here on gizdev.com, the one mistake I had previously made was attempting fastboot oem get_identifier_token on a vanilla version of fastboot. This made me ignore any other guide with such a command because I thought it was not working but in real sense, I was partially following steps.

Now the device's bootloader is unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] the exynos hater:
well have a nice day <3
