you might want to modify files in twrp's root source: the bootable/recovery directory then?

i think.

not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy A55] TheNoobDevs:
this build I sent is not complete, the fstab is not yet custom and the twrp flags isn't made, I will be editing the tree on Monday, or before if I get time
[Samsung Galaxy A55] TheNoobDevs:
I'm going to contact teamwin about it
[Samsung Galaxy A55] notnoelchannel:

Well, it's nice you're willing and proposing to build a TWRP for this device but why are you not going ahead and why don't you test it yourself ? ^^

Does that mean you don't feel confident enough about yourself ?

Otherwise, since Android 13 you have to plug your phone to a computer to boot into recovery whatever it is...
[Samsung Galaxy A55] notnoelchannel:
or he doesn't have the device?
[Samsung Galaxy A55] Arobase404:
I was also afraid about that possibility... ^^ o_O

Another lesson guy, never ask to anyone else to do what you are supposed to do yourself

Now, what next ? What is the result and what are we supposed to do or how to use the files you supplied in your link ???

I see a twrp-vendor_boot.tar file and source codes but I never saw such a TWRP file in past and present days : is this the sole file to use and flash or are we missing something, such as a tutorial by example ? ^^
[Samsung Galaxy A55] TheNoobDevs:
it's a vendor_boot you flash it in the AP slot with odin, it's not rocket science
[Samsung Galaxy A55] Arobase404:
Please supply more explanations if and how it is working, what is not working and if it is fully usable !

Can you also supply some pictures ?

[Samsung Galaxy A55] Dvrk:
Can i install gsi with this twrp or not?
[Samsung Galaxy A55] TheNoobDevs:
fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy A55] Dvrk:
Should i reboot from twrp to fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy A55] TheNoobDevs:
yes, then you type on your computer fastboot erase system_b

fastboot flash system_b system.img (replacing system with the name of the gsi you downloaded) I will test flashing system via twrp, but it can cause issues which is why I haven't initially included it
[Samsung Galaxy A55] Dvrk:
I tried it with fastboot but it didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy A55] Dvrk:
Can you make a Tutorial please
[Samsung Galaxy A55] lyinceer:
Since newer Samsung devices doesn't have fastboot, the flashing method is only available through odin, but if you've flashed the twrp already, you may try it with twrp
[Samsung Galaxy A55] Dvrk:
It worked but i have Problems with calling people and i cannot make vids and when im in a call with a Person they can hear my tiktok or Something different from my phone
[Samsung Galaxy A55] lyinceer:
It worked you mean by you flashed the twrp succesfully through Odin or you flashed through fastboot?

Also the problems you were facing must be because of the twrp i assume. Did you make sure that your A55 model matched for the twrp model (A556B) ?
[Samsung Galaxy A55] Dvrk:
I flashed the gsi through twrp Fastboot and Fingerprint also dont Work but the gsi worked with the Problems i have and yes it matched my twrp model
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] XZeg:
This type of problem has already been published many times, but these solutions did not help me fix the problem.

For the test, I used aututu benchmark and it showed me that during the test, 5 percent of the battery charge was spent on a completely clean LineageOS, but after installing the most minimal Google services, setting up custom ROM. After the test it already showed battery consumption of more than 8 percent, and with other ROM it was all 10 percent.

I understand that my post may seem stupid, but I no longer know what to do. Also sorry for bad english.

hello.

​

​

I need help. ​

1. I tried to flash twrp using adb flash recovery twrp img,

but it said partition table does not exist so i flash it to boot_a instead LOL!

2. My phone got stock in twrp recovery and I wasn't able to boot to the system.

then -WITH ALL MENTAL POWER to erase boot_a and boot_b using adb.

3. It got stock in an infinite bootloop; I even wasn't able to shut it

down let alone entering to recovery or fastboot.

4. Finaly I tried to use sp flash tool to flash the stock rom but,

it is in bootloop so it kept to connect and disconnect;

I also encountered an error that says: "ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0XC0060003)".

to fix this i downloaded "DA" file that claims to be specific to my mt6781.

but when I select it says it's invalid da file.

Google reverses course, says it won't keep phones with non-OEM parts

Google says it will update its policy and that it won't keep your phone regardless if it has a non-OEM part or not.

www.androidauthority.com

i dont know how anyone expected to still have warrenty with non-oem parts,

BUT when google said they would steal your phone that was insane.

there need to be a right to repair law with oem parts from the OEM required available for more then two or three years. or a mandatory longer warranty then one year..

its a 1000$ phone.

Google decided it won't confiscate Pixels with unapproved parts after all

After public backlash, Google revised its terms of service to address concerns about its anti-consumer repair policy.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0v3s:
Hey,

I'm currently playing around with a Redmi 10C phone, flashing it with TWRP and a bunch of different stuff. I've encountered an issue where after flashing TWRP, the device will no longer boot into android and will instead take me straight to recovery.

I know i can flash back my stock firmware, which i have and have confirmed is fully working with my setup, but that's not what I want here.

I want to know exactly what's going wrong and why my phone is not booting where it should. Is there any way to figure this out? Or is it simply trial and error?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Well, it could be this "bunch of different stuff", but it's hard for me to tell.

If your recovery never resets (for whatever reason) the BCB in /misc, you'll keep on popping back to recovery.

Does your TWRP have working ADB?

# cat /dev/block/by-name/misc

If it's blank, that's not it.

You may find logs under /cache that tell you why the normal system failed.

A hardware UART (console) when available can tell you what's going on with a failed boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0v3s:
BCB is not empty, but just by using cat i don't really get anything i could interpret.

I found something about a shell tool on the U-Boot docs page, but that doesn't seem to be enabled on my phone.

Here's the output:

boot-system0�
tV

As for the "bunch of different stuff" - the device started bootlooping when i reflashed my stock ROM, which worked but replaced fastboot with fastbootd which doesn't have the "boot" command, so i flashed TWRP directly to a boot partition (TWRP worked just fine before the stock ROM reflash).

But rather than a direct solution to my issues, I just mostly want to know how to debug boot issues since I want to slowly start creating my own port of TWRP to the device.

If i switch my active slot to a while being on slot b with my old `boot.img` with normal fastboot, and then run

fastboot boot [new stock boot.img]

i can boot into Android just fine. I'd imagine even replacing TWRP with a normal boot.img would fix the issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Why? Just don't.

You're mixing up stuff.

abl (Android BootLoader) implements the fastboot protocol and can be reached by reboot bootloader.

recovery has the user space init service "fastbootd" and can be reached by reboot recovery and menu selection.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0v3s:
You're right, I just flashed the stock ROM again and the fastboot didn't change, so i booted to TWRP normally and after flashing I'm encountering zero issues with bootlooping.

I wonder how i got that mixed up. The screens really did look basically identical so with my basic knowledge I just assumed it changed.

Thank you for your help!

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] moldyharriet:
Hey folks! Recently picked up a P7Pro for very cheap, comparatively. Lightly used, not much wear and tear. Really good condition!

Drawback is, I have Verizon, and the phone was bought through Verizon, so no OEM unlock, pretty much in any way shape or form. I did some thinking, yes I could just give it back/resell it, trade in value, etc..

But, I was really looking forward to Graphene/Murena. I really don't want to go through the hassle of trying to find another one, don't want to just leave this one sitting around, yada yada. So I got to thinking, and I've seen a few posts about this, but they were all on the Pixel 4. Would it be, not only feasible, but worth it for me to replace the motherboard with an ebay board that is unlocked? I'm comfortable doing so, so the concern is really just, is this going to fix it, and if so, will even more problems crop up? That being said, I'm also open to soldering a chip, if it's simply a chip on the board that holds this activation status, and it would be easier/cheaper for me to pull an old chip off and stick a new one on, as opposed to replacing the whole board.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RinaZet:
As far as I know there is an IMEI check on Google servers.

OEM unlocking toggle was greyed out on my non-carrier P8P until I connected it to the Internet.

So in theory replacing motherboard with unlocked version may work as it will have different IMEIs.
[Touch HD General] noris08:
hi guys!

there is any way to play a movie (divx, xvid, etc.) on HD and to see also the subtitles of the movie (srt, txt, etc.)?

i don't want to reconvert them and iclude the sub, just to copy the movie file and the sub file in the same directory and play them in the same manner as on PC with BSPlayer

thank you!
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
yes, teoreticaly with TCPMP. But your video will most probably lag, because TCPMP sux. So you better burn them in your movie on PC.
[Touch HD General] noris08:
i knew about tcmp but i also knew that it sux.

i thought that it would be possible with core or divx player or other player.

i have a lot of avi movies with separate sub file and i want to use them as they are.

thank you!
[Touch HD General] Cheeze[iT]:
i forgot what program there was but you can embed the subtitles on the video and it re-encodes back to avi and it works with core player. i'll see if I can dig the program up again.
[Touch HD General] noris08:
they are several programs, cucusoft is one of them, but, as i said, i don't want to reconvert them. i just want to use them as they are: avi file + sub file

when y put subtitles in TCPMP quality of pictures is worst than original,why?

Nothing of the sort, yet.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NymuDroid_XDA:
I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Hello everyone. Today, i'll share my stories about this device problems and i'll also request to you all about the solution.

For detail info, you can check GSMArena and see all the specs.

This device, support GSI Flashing (dynamic partition, seamless upgrade, system as root, etc.) I'm using Treble Info app from Play Store for checking these.

I was trying to unlock bootloader, but can't. On Fastbootd, it can't access Fastboot HAL (i'm assuming that partition on there was missing)

Fastboot (Bootloader)

fastboot flashing unlock
remote: not allowed on locked state

Fastbootd result (using oem)

fastboot oem unlock
remote: can't access Fastboot HAL

If i force unlocking using AdaniChell Tool, the device will unlocked, but can't boot to system (problem of dm-verity corruption)

Someone had backup this device firmware in order to help who using this device for restoring them. I downloaded 2 types of backup, scatter and dump file.

I'm using AdaniChell Tool to do restoring. There are 3 method of flashing. Methods are Flash New, Flash Old, and MTK Universal. I'm using 3 methods one by one, and successful.

But, the problem begin. I was able to boot system, and no longer after, next 30 seconds the device are restart without warning or something like that. All works well, except themes settings, and IMEI (because i erase these partition and forgot to write back.) This is what i call kernel_panic (founded at recovery.log on recovery)

The last thing, i'll try to flashing GSI. I had picked LineageOS 18.1 (which is less than one Android version) yesterday. Flashing vbmeta to disable dm-verity doesn't work, either with stock vbmeta or empty vbmeta. Instead, flashing GSI using either Fastboot or Fastbootd worked. But when try to boot, the device jumped to bootloader instead.

The question are:

1. Are there an official firmware for this device? If none, then what should i do?

2. How to disable kernel_panic? I'm so noob in this problem.

3. If this device support Project Treble, then what's the problem with boot after flash GSI?

If you have useful solution, please reply. Anyway, thanks for reading this thread.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] mindfrost82:
Since I was on the locked down CN ROM before going to 774, I'm not going to try it yet. I have my bootloader unlocked and had to use the modified vendor_boot.img to get to 774.

If you're on the legit 774 with your bootloader locked, then you should be able to OTA to it.

Pretty sure I'm on oem Chinese. But I got it 2nd hand. I did an OTA when I got it to 774 and bootloader is locked. Safe to assume I'm good? How do you know for sure which CN you are on?

You're right, you can ignore my previous post. 774 is the Chinese ROM. As long as you're willing to stay on the Chinese ROM, then you should be okay to update OTA. CN774 is the ROM that causes issues when trying to go to the Global ROM anyway.

[Google Pixel 7] D.B.Jupiter:
I have not. Do I have to root the phone to use GCam mod?

Which GCam version would you recommend for the Pixel 7?

Can I use both the GCam mod and the regular default camera at the same time?
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
I'm sorry, but I haven't used GCam (mod or regular), but it does seem you have to root; at the very least for GCam mod (I'm assuming "mod" is short for module, not necessarily modification). Unfortunately I can't answer the rest -- hopefully a more knowledgeable member can answer them.

I just have been around the Pixel forums since the Pixel 2 and even with just a cursory glance, many users swear by the GCam mod and how much it improves/is-superior to the stock camera in terms of better options, capabilities, and I believe image processing.

Hopefully my pointing you to it at least helps some....good luck to you!

I don't have a serial number for a device in the XSA region so I can't lookup the firmware using Frija.

Does someone have a Serial Number from an SM-X710 - XSA device (i.e. SM-X710NZAAXSA) which I can use to grab a copy via Frija?

For Samsung Wifi tablets, all of SEA and Oceania countries use XSP (Singapore) CSC. TGY and XSP also belong to the same OXM multiCSC as well, so you only need to change CSC to XSP using Samfw tool.

But I recommend EUX for fastest update. Major updates are often delayed by a month on XSP.
