[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] seastranger:
greetings.

Please keep in mind that this is my last attempt after many days of frustration and pointless efforts...this is my first time reaching out online for help regarding anything....I wouldn't have reached out if this wasn't super important to me and i assure you that I've tried everything I can think of before reaching out to make sure I don't waste anyone's time.

THE QUESTION :

I'm stuck in recovery mode loop...Is there any possible way that I can get my files ((pictures, videos, notes)) back?

If the answer is no feel free to skip the endless newspaper below 😂

Thank you for taking the time to read and help 🙏 🙏

THE DETAILS :

My knowledge is not the best with technology ((at least not anymore)) so please excuse me if I mistype anything.

The drama began Last month around April 12 - 14 my phone kind of starting acting slow and sluggish and I had to restart it and after that it just kept going into a restarting loop until eventually it went into recovery mode.

A week or so previous to that I had updated the phone but it worked perfectly fine until that day ((keep in mind I'm a heavy phone user for work purpose and my phone is active 14 - 16 hours a day)) so I don't think the update is causing the issue?🤔

I have wasted many hours, days and nights doing extensive research and trying to catch up to all the knowledge I missed on all these past years but without any results!

and I've done everything I came across from videos and posts and everything that I can personally think of such as :

- I tried using 2 different laptops ((windows 10 and windows 7)).

- I tried using many different usb and otg cables.

- I installed many different usb drivers and adb drivers ((restore points were created to make sure all the different installations don't cause trouble)).

- I was able to view the correct Qualcomm driver on the device manager.

- I've gone as far as taking my entire phone apart and checked all components and everything checks out ((no signs of corrosion or damaged buttons)).

And many other methods I only mentioned those ones because they seemed to be the most discussed or suggested online.

But all my efforts were pointless because not a single time I was able to view my device using fastboot or adb commands!

MSM tool detects the device successfully every time.

QPST detects the device but says no phone available ((it only shows there's a connected device but can't identify the build number or any of the device info))

I already got a new device ((OnePlus 12r)) so I'm not too concerned about the OnePlus 8t I just want my files back so even if there's a way to do anything board or chips related I'm willing to do it since I already have the phone apart.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
I know that you can use the MSM Tool, not only to write to a phone partition, but you can also use it to dump a partition (I've used it to pull a copy of the stock boot image).

So you might be able to dump the partition containing /data.

And having done that you might be able to mount the image file as a drive on your PC and then copy the data you want to your PC's hard drive.

Don't ask me how to do this in detail as I've never tried this.
[General Questions and Answers] mctiew:
I have a Bluetooth keyboard for my tablet. And I use the Gboard with it.

There is a setting to hide or display the virtual keyboard.

I want to hide the virtual keyboard to gain bigger screen real estate. But when I hide the virtual keyboard, the words suggestions and correction cannot be displayed.

And when I show the virtual keyboard, the words suggestions and correction are displayed, but it is on the top bar of the virtual keyboard. It is not ideal, it should be displayed near the cursor location. And it eats up quite a bit of screen real estate.

Is there a more elegant solution to this ?
[General Questions and Answers] mtomy2008:
According to what i know, Gboard does not currently support displaying word suggestions and corrections near the cursor when the virtual keyboard is hidden. As a workaround, you might consider trying other keyboard apps that offer better support for physical keyboards, such as SwiftKey, which might handle suggestions differently. Alternatively, providing feedback to the Gboard development team could encourage future improvements in this area mp3 juicetubidyy2mate

[Samsung Galaxy A23 5G] conlfildence:
First of all, this is my first time attempting to root a phone, but I've done plenty of research.

I have an A23 5G (SM-A236M/DSN) running Android 14. My plan was to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP 3.7.1 with Odin3, enter custom recovery right away (to avoid it being replaced automatically) and flash Magisk ZIP.

I got to the part where the bootloader was completely unlocked, and after it wiped all data and restarted into initial setup (it took so long I thought I was in bootloop), I went to download mode using the key combo and flashed TWRP using Odin. After that, my phone restarted again, with one white warning message telling me the bootloader is unlocked ("PRESS POWER BUTTON TO CONTINUE") and one red warning message claiming the device was not running official Samsung firmware. I tried entering recovery mode, but the key combo didn't work, and as the official guide predicted, TWRP was replaced by the default recovery mode.

I then tried flashing and starting TWRP several times, but it didn't work. Eventually I pulled out platform tools in my Windows 10 PC and tried to use fastboot after flashing, but platform tools just open PowerShell for a split second and then dissappear (crash on launch?)

So my questions are: How do I enter TWRP after flashing? Can I use the key combo or is fastboot the only way? And how do I get platform tools to work?
[Samsung Galaxy A23 5G] conlfildence:
Update: After lots of research, I found the solution is seemingly quite simple:

Thanks MrSmith317. I'm gonna try today and hopefully I'll come back with functional TWRP and Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A23 5G] conlfildence:
Update 2: Although adb does work, fastboot does not recognize my device. Whenever I run fastboot reboot, or try to flash, it stops at <waiting for any device>. Reinstalling drivers did not help.

I also managed to enter default recovery with the unlocked bootloader warning once, but I haven't been able to replicate it.

One question remains: How do I enter TWRP after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy A23 5G] I_(0.0)_I:
If you have installed magisk, don't use button (power +vol up) but you can use magisk application (.apk) and reboot to recovery mode.

I installed/flashed magisk with this tutorial ' v=RqLI0tiNbPw ' and flashed TWRP all with Odin, but can't use button too, now I use magisk application for reboot to recovery.

[Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra] Esja:
Any news on this? Did Asus provide the tool to unlock the bootloader?
[Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra] gioblecch:
here some (bad) news

Court Action against Asus' false promise on bootloader unlock tool

tldr: Asus refunded after court case issued to them. if you never had desire to use a bootloader-locked phone, you can first send Asus a warning email, let them know that settling without court involvement would waive the court fee on their end...

xdaforums.com
[Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra] chocolote4444:
Most likely they'll abandon bootloader unlocking for good. They never showed any intention of wanting it. They'd rather keep the bootloaders locked to have more control over the user just like Nubia and Oppo.

I'm betting they'll never release the tool for this phone and even if they did, there's no development source code they release on GitHub so no custom roms.

I strongly recommend switching to either OnePlus or Google Pixel phones.

Always do your research before buying a phone to see if it's development friendly. Most OEMs are not anymore which is sad. I made that mistake when I bought the Nubia red magic 6 and I was going to take them to court over violation of GPL but I decided to leave it alone and get a OnePlus.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ausername69:
Hi, so the other day I decided to follow the guide on unlocking the 2nd gen firestick (tank) to install LineageOS on it. I got to the point where I had to short CLK to GRD but I kept getting the error "serial mismatch" so I decided to take a break and come back to it today. However, now when I plug it into my computer, I get no response from it at all. No sound plays when I plug it in, no device appears in lsusb, and no signal when I plug it into my TV. Is there a fix for this or is my firestick basically dead? Thank you.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullet Saloon:
It is very easy to break a capacitor when trying to ground. That is your most likely culprit.

In that case, it can be fixed.

BTW: Is this a brand new stick, or is it used? Error "serial mismatch" usually means the stick has been updated and is no longer rootable.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ausername69:
Thanks for the reply, everything seemed fine on the board like it worked up to right when I decided to give up unlocking it. Would fixing the capacitor just require soldering it or something? The CLK resistor looks fine and the rest of the board seems fine as well so I'm not sure what I would need to do.

It was actually my friend's own who gave it to me last week so I figured I'd try rooting it I guess he probably could of updated it, didn't realize that would have stopped it from being rootable. Thanks for the info.

Would anyone know how I can return to miui 14, since I installed a custom rom to experiment and so on, but I can't use some important apps for my day I would like to know how I can flash the stock rom and how since I have the bootloader open
[Redmi Note 10S] CookWater:
You could use miflash tool to flash the stock rom. And you can find your miui 14 stock rom just searching the model of your device and the miui version. If you have any doubt, you can find a tutorial on youtube easily.
[Redmi Note 10S] Deleted member 12612947:
Yes, it really is simplicity itself (or ought be, depending on your phone's state) to restore to stock Miui with miflash. Find the right version, fire up miflash and press play, done. I did it a couple of weeks back, easy as.

This is actually CPH2573, not CPH2583. You can check and see that the files are identical in size to CPH2573.

Please fix it. My device was accidentally converted to CPH2573 and now I can't return to CPH2583.

Edit: My device is somehow soft bricked, bootloader is still unlocked, but can't boot into TWRP recovery even after reflash, or boot into the OS. Will need to try this tool with fastboot to unbrick:

I found a bug in this script

The flash script only flash slot A...

So if you are slot B, trying to use this script will result in bricking.

I will try to fix this bug, and release new version.

However, I am very busy today, so I may not be able to update the new version quickly.

It looks like the creation of super.img failed because you don't have enough available hard disk space. Your super.img is only 2GB in size, which is clearly not normal.

Please ensure that you have at least 30GB of available hard disk space.
[OnePlus 12] crossmxn:
You were totally right... Thank you!!! btw after flashing Slot A should I flash Slot B with the same files for a complete clean flash?
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
Generally, after using this script to flash Slot A, it should boot normally.

If you are concerned, you can use the system's local update app to flash the same firmware again. This will install the system on Slot B, ensuring system stability.
[OnePlus 12] crossmxn:
can the B slot can be used for booting? like, if I set the active slot to B then boot to system should it work?
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
The OnePlus 12 uses a Virtual-AB architecture, which means Slot A and Slot B do not exist simultaneously(Only exist slotA or slotB). The system only creates a partition snapshot during an OTA update, and once it boots successfully, it deletes the old partitions and switches to another slot.

Therefore, do not manually switch slots, as this will cause your phone to brick (because you would be switching to a nonexistent partition).
[OnePlus 12] Geoz:
Thanks for all your guides and tutorials @snowwolf725 .

I followed your guides and have my new device working great without any problems, but after rooting with your KernelSU and flashing some modules I have wrong storage size 1 TB sparse image.

Do you have similar issue? I've seen viideos on YouTube of how to fix it but I want your expertise.

Thanks again.
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
You can fix this issue by using "Minimize sparse image" option.
[OnePlus 12] Geoz:
Thanks a lot for taking your time to reply.

I don't know what is going on with my device, already tried this solution couple of times but nothing happens.

Could it be that I debloated with universal debloater new generation?

Thanks again.
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
I think universal debloater which is not the cause of the problem.

If GUI option doesn't work for you, you can try resize command in termux

Do I have to do this after every update?

I appreciate you. Keep up your good work.
[OnePlus 12] LeoPosas:
Hi @snowwolf725 , I've used your V3 script to convert from NA to EU. After the 810 update, I had issues trying to install it using Oxygen Updater, I downloaded the incremental file multiple times without success, every time was failing before reaching the 40% of extraction. The only way that it worked was to flash the full OTA with the local update install.

Just to be aware if someone else have the same problem.
[OnePlus 12] cubandanger05:
Yes, you need to be unrooted to extract successfully.

No need to flash full OTA, flash the stock init_boot.img in fastboot, reboot back into system, extract and install update. Then reroot.
[OnePlus 12] LeoPosas:
I'm using stock with locked bootloader 😅
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
The script only for full OTA, so you can't use this script with incremental OTA.

For NA install incremental OTA

xdaforums.com
[OnePlus 12] LeoPosas:
Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

I successfully converted from stock NA to EU 802. Then, the 810 came and I've tried to apply this incremental update by the local install. The only way that it worked was to flash the full OTA using the local update in the phone.
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
The recommended installation methods are:

1. Using the script to convert the system to 802 EU.

2. Reinstalling full OTA using local update with the same version (802 EU).

In this way, in 90% of cases, you can update the system using incremental updates.

Because the system checks each partition during incremental updates, and each update may involve different partitions. For example, when updating from 802 to 810, 48 partitions were updated, whereas updating from 604 to 608 only updated 40 partitions. However, the updated partitions in both cases are not entirely identical.
[OnePlus 12] LeoPosas:
Thank you, makes sense now.

Probably I missed your recommendation to flash the full OTA after convert.

However, I was able to flash full 810 over converted 802.

Thank you, you are the best!
