Some Pixel 6 owners say factory resets have bricked their phones

It’s probably best not to reset your phone for a bit.

Does anyone have it, i had it originally on my stock ROM but when i followed to the instructions to get rid off ATT bloatware, I cant seem to find it anywhere (phone or forum)

It had MSN, Yahoo and ICQ i think..

TIA

I wouldn't suggest using it because it sends IM as txt messages, so they are charged as txts. I would suggest trying palringo. its free and uses your data connection to send IM's. - http://www.palringo.com/

[OnePlus 9 Pro] ElenaXX:
I decided to buy a 9 pro after having read that 1+ phones are the easiest ones to root.

Really ???

Internet is simply full of misinformation. Including forums, yes. Unless one is really a super expert... and I am a semi-noob (at least in *this field*).

My 9 Pro was updated to the last update, i.e Android 14 and OOS 14.

I followed the instructions found online and installed Magisk.

I now had to get a boot.img. DILEMMA. Which one ? Where ?

I found one here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=332019&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC, I downloaded the most recent one.

I patched it.

I flashed it with fastboot.exe in the bootloader after having unlocked the bootloader.

Flashing went OK.

Reboot.

Bricked phone: won't boot, stuck at the boot screen.

Panic.

Luckily after many efforts I managed to bring it back to life with the MsmDownloadTool, which however brought the device to an outdated (factory) state, i.e with Android 11 and OOS11.

And now I have to wait hours and hours again for all updates to take place over and over, to bring it again to an updated state (Android 14, OOS 14) :O :O :O

And what to do then ??

So I suspect that the only way to root it properly is patching an up-to-date boot.img, not the ones one may find easily online. Is this correct or am I wrong ?

Why no online tutorial on rooting ever said that ???

But where to find a boot.img which corresponds to the last update applied ???

Any other / easier way to root my device ??

Should I download the latest OTA archive available and extract the boot.img from the payload ?

Thanks in advance !
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Karrarahmad07:
hi bro, you need to get latest update firmware of your phone with the help of oxygen updater apk on your phone which you want to root

then do the same process...

i also mislead first to find correct boot.img file...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ElenaXX:
Hi, sorry can you elaborate better ? What should I do exactly with that oxygen updater apk ? Where can I get the correct boot.img and how ?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Karrarahmad07:
you just need to install it

available on play store...

There you find the latest firmware of youur device...

but remember to go to settings in app and change update method to stable (full) and enable advanced mode after that go to the update section and you are ready to download your device latest firmware...

Remember to download stable (full) not incremental (security patch of os) and just extract that payload file and extract boot.img and just patch it and remember to boot it through fastboot mode not flash and then install magisk after sucessful boot and click install and select direct install in magisk...

it takes couple reboots and thats it...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ElenaXX:
Uhm... thanks for the hints. It will take me a long time since now I have to debrick the phone and update it again. Despite I think that with Oxygen Updater the updating process should be much faster, by avoiding the incremental steps. Am I right ?

Oh no I never trusted that Magisk option about installing it. I always use Magisk only to patch the boot.img, transfer it to PC again and then flash with fastboot.

Which honestly to me looks a very stupid workflow... I really don't know why nobody every invented a patcher which works on the PC side !!!!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ElenaXX:
I was lucky ! Since I my phone was up to date as of Jun 30,2024, I suppose the right flashable update was the most recent one here:

Signed Flashable Zip, Europe, LE2123_14.0.0.600(EX01)

Indeed ! With some patience I downloaded it, unzipped the payload.bin, extracted the boot.img with Payload Dumper GO, I flashed it and now my phone booted again ! I am now going to patch it with Magisk and I should be done.... let's see what happens.... crossing my fingers....

[Sony Xperia 1 V] DarkLTU:
Reading through the forum, I have noticed that quite a lot of people experience troubles and grudges with the stock Android 14. I feel the same. Android 14 made us lose things, such as (but not limited to): 4K screenshots and 4K video/photo playback, a snappier camera experience (Photo Pro on Android 14 stutters a lot, when the shutter button is half pressed, burst photo modes became slower), the battery life feels like it has decreased, and, the biggest con of all, random display stuttering/refresh rate drops. Enough is enough. I, personally, want a smartphone that not only costs like a flagship, but works like a flagship, too.

I have read through some of the posts, and I came across various methods, like using Newflasher, Emma, flashing a GSI. So, the question is, what could be the best way to downgrade to Android 13? What I mean by that: what is the easiest, safest way to downgrade? What are their differences?

By the way, it is required to unlock the bootloader in order to downgrade, right? What about the TA partition and DRM keys? If the TA partition/DRM keys are wiped, even after a downgrade from Sony ROM to Sony ROM, wouldn't it be wiser to flash a custom ROM, like LineageOS, which could bring a better experience, compared to the stock ROM?

Thank you for your attention
[Sony Xperia 1 V] drdieselal:
Sorry for little offtopic, but if you're unhappy about the display stuttering, you can try disabling "allow window-level blurs" in the developer options. I know this sounds weird, but I found that info on another forum, disabled it like a month ago, and I don't think I've seen a single refresh rate drop ever since.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] DarkLTU:
Wow, well, that's an interesting fix, for sure. Unfortunately, it did not fix the issue for me. I have it enabled for a couple of days now, and it definitely likes to drop frames, just like before.

XQ-DQ54, stock Android 14, build 67.1.A.2.256
[Sony Xperia 1 V] drdieselal:
Sorry to hear that! I use mine at constant 4K/60Hz, maybe that's because of that.

As for the downgrade itself, I'm not an expert here (never done it myself), but from what I've read you can do that via the newflasher without any issues without unlocking your bootloader. You will need to wipe your data though, but you would need to do that anyway. Even if something goes wrong, you can always restore the latest firmware using the xperia companion or the newflasher itself. So if you're ready to start anew, you can just try to use the newflasher.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] kingjames007:
Got this phone DQ-72 three days ago, I unlocked bootlader and root, I'm still on stock Android 13 (build 67.0.A.4.104) but now after reading issues with android 14 I'm afraid to install a custom ROM like LineageOS 21... Am I wrong or can I still go safely ?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] DarkLTU:
There are no issues in stock Android 13, as far as I can remember. Stock Android 14 is a mess, though. I wouldn't recommend updating to that. As far as custom ROMs go, your mileage may vary. However, I have seen that the LineageOS custom ROM became official, which means that the developer has made sure that the ROM complies with LineageOS rules (which can be found here, if that is of interest for you), which means that the system, in essence, is stable, with about the same functionality as the stock ROM.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] kingjames007:
thanks, another user on the Lineage0S 21 post said this when I asked about your issues on Android 14:

"You can manually set 4K display resolution if you want, haven't noticed any issues with Photo Pro, battery life is good and the display stuttering/refresh rate drops are not an issue in custom ROMs, since this is an A14 QPR1 related issue and custom ROMs nowadays are either on QPR2 or QPR3."

So I guess that custom rom is fine... I'm still not sure to install it though, I just want to get the best out of this phone.
[General Questions and Answers] maxinfino:
Hello,

I would like it to be possible to automatically activate ethernet tethering as soon as a network card is plugged into the USB port for Android 14 (especially Lineage OS 21).

So far, I have to unlock the phone, go to settings, then network, then connection sharing and activate ethernet sharing.

How can I get this to activate automatically, even if the phone is locked?

I have root adb access.

Thanks for your help!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK there isn't a built-in way on Android 14 (including LineageOS 21) to automatically enable Ethernet tethering when you plug in a network adapter.

What you can do is using a script utilizing ADB:

Connect your phone to your computer with ADB enabled: adb devices

Check for a connected USB device: adb shell "ls /dev/bus/usb/devices*" and parse the output to identify your ethernet adapter.

If the adapter is found, enable tethering: adb shell "svc usb setFunctions tether"

IMO ways better would be using an Android shell script like this

#!/system/bin/sh

# Define your network adapter identifier (modify as needed)
ETHERNET_IDENTIFIER="rndis" # Replace with your adapter's identifier

while true; do
# Check for connected USB device
DEVICE_INFO=$(ls /dev/bus/usb/devices*)

# Check if the identifier is present in the device info
if [[ $DEVICE_INFO =~ $ETHERNET_IDENTIFIER ]]; then
# Enable tethering
svc usb setFunctions tether
echo "Ethernet tethering activated!"
break; # Exit the loop after successful activation
else
# Disable tethering if previously enabled
svc usb setFunctions none
echo "No ethernet adapter detected. Untethering..."
sleep 5; # Wait 5 seconds before checking again
fi
done

that automatically activates Ethernet tethering when a network adapter is plugged in.
[General Questions and Answers] ballzak:
Any automation app can easily perform such task, try Automate (free, no ads) with a flowchart like:

Flow beginning

Broadcast receive: Action="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_ACCESSORY_ATTACHED"

Wi-Fi hotspot set state: enable

(connect #3 OK to #2 IN)

Ensure to setup "Privileged service start method" in Automate settings, e.g. ADB if your device isn't rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] maxinfino:
Thanks for your answers, I've tried them, but finally I've abandoned this feature, it adds too many rules in routing and in the firewall.

Now I'd like to run a script when a network card is plugged in, but I don't know how to go about it.

Do I need a service that scans the USB bus?

How do I add this type of thing? in /vendor/etc/init ? Which syntax?

Thanks a lot.

Building on the scripts I've seen, as well as this thread, I've built a simple Bash script that will push the script to your device and uninstall your bloatware.

Here's the thing: While you don't need root to use this, you're going to need to know the names of the apps you want to get rid of. My GitHub repo has everything you need. Edit the apps.txt file as you see fit, as it contains the full names of the apps you're removing. This should work for damn near any Android device, but remember to edit the apps.txt file unless you're happy with my list!!!

I prefer you download from my GitHub, as I'm trying to drive traffic there to help generate interest in my other projects.

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Why on Earth would 5 new phones all come with only the Mediatek processor? Not that I am in need of replacing my RN10P or RN11, both work perfectly, but seeing ads for the 13 version of Redmi and wow, so disappointing! Only the lone Note 13 Pro (without the plus) is a non-Mediatek, Snapdragon processor.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Elinx:
Only Xiaomi knows ;), but I'm sure it is all about economical and commecial reasons.

imho this was already mostly the case with the Redmi models.

Only the Note models had Snapdragon, but later on the most expensive "flagship" has a faster Mediatek again.

For a owner that use his phone as it is, that doesn't make a difference.

It only does for the owners that want to install a custom rom. They want Snapdragon.

So in that case it will be the RN13P that get support for it.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
I screwed up once getting the basic Redmi 10. Never again with ANY Mediatek phone. ROMming is a big no-no with that processor, and stock ROM's wear out very quickly for me. Oddly, I was able to hack the stock script to run upgrades and reinstalls on it, but with the ARB statements remarked. Something about OTA not working or severely delayed, and I was getting antsy. It worked, with errors, but was able to get around those also. Sadly, only stock versions. But NO custom ROMs! What a disaster!! I pulled the trigger too soon on the price without checking for its folder on XDA. Won't make that mistake again either, and the tell is the Mediatek. :cowboy: If they ever change their corporate attitude and allow developers access, fine, but for now, they are like Apple in terms of control.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Elinx:
RN2 was the first and last edition with Mediatek for me. I only had installed another launcher.

When I need a new model, I first research what Xiaomi has changed. (edl, bootloader, partitions etc.) and whether there are solutions for it on XDA or other forums.

Secondly, I look to see whether there is any development for my choice.

Usually this means that I am not going to buy the latest model, which is also an economic advantage.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] NOSS8:
Yep, much less development on MediaTek socs but there are exceptions like:

Redmi K50i / Note 11T Pro (+) / Poco X4 GT [xaga]

The Redmi K50i has a 6.6" FFS LCD, with a 1080x2460 resolution and 144Hz refrsh rate. It's powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset, along with either 128/6GB, 128/8GB or 256/8GB of internal storage and RAM. There's a 64/8/2MP main camera setup, along with a 16MP selfie camera. The K50i runs...

xdaforums.com

or there are more roms than users.;)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Elinx:
Good example

Imho the most impact on development is publishing the kernel sources
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] NOSS8:
Obviously, but Xiaomi has the unfortunate habit of publishing incomplete sources, which delays development, not to mention the increasing number of proprietary codes.

Hi guys! It's been a long time posting in XDA :) but do you know a trick to re-root an unrooted Pixel8 without using PC? In PC all we need to do is flash a patched init_boot image using fastboot mode.

If you have another phone and OTG, you can use the Bugjaeger app to flash the patched init boot through fastboot. Also the recovery is embedded in the boot image since pixel 5, so making twrp for phones after pixel 5 isn't possible.
