[Google Pixel 6 Pro] coolpoete:
I have the 6 pro, then upgraded to the S23+. For a long time I liked the slightly brighter and vibrant screen and relatively snappier performance of the S23+. Then I found myself longing the core google software features like the call screening, hold, spam rejection, and just overall how naturally integrated it was.

Samsung makes you use their software to get somewhat similar but not the same experience and I don't like that. I didn't like having 2 phone apps, 2 text messaging apps, etc. I know I could probably adb remove them but again, it's how everything just naturally came together was better for me on Google. I had never rommed my 6 pro before so I did that recently. At first it was ok, then small bugs started coming up, UI freezes, having to restart every other day. Then, the tap to pay stopped working. I know I can magisk hide to resolve but it was too time consuming to bother and just switched back to stock. Everything works just fine, give or take the few customizations that I may miss now and then.

I am staying with the 6 pro for now and will wait for the 9pro and will definitely upgrade to that. I'd tell you to go with the 8 or if you can wait till Oct/Nov for the 9. Only thing I miss now was the crispier screen and faster charging of the S23+. By the time the 9 comes out it will be a worthwhile upgrade for me.

OnePlus 12 or 12r.

I have a Pixel 6 Pro and prefer my OnePlus 9. Strongly considering buying a OnePlus 12 or 12r.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AlDollaz:
I think it depends on how much you have to spend. In my opinion, the P6P is a quality phone still and I bought it just before the 7 came out. Easy to modify (Pixel Xpert is a must), takes really good pictures. Battery life could be better, but with Kirisakura kernel, it easily can do two days with moderate usage.

I still enjoy it as my daily phone and will most likely be taking a look at the Pixel Fold 2, if anything. The P6P is still going to get upgrades for a while, so if it ain't broke, why fix it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
This is the closest I got to a forum for the device I want to discuss about.

So I put this here

I have been using a Redmi 10a Chinese device which is closer to Redmi 9a etc... This is a chinese device which came with global rom, at that time I didn't aware of. But I didn't receive any updates for a long time and phone started to bugging around. So I decided flash the newest firmware (global one). Didn't had to unlock the device because came unlocked I didn't knew that later also. So once the device flashed It has bricked because I locked the device bootloader (I used mi flash tool and I choosed not to locked to device but some how it did locked ). I tried many things to recover but I couldn't.

So I decided to go to the shop which I bought. They said they can't fix that either. But they said that they can flash the Chinese rom. And my warranty is also void as they say. I don't know what they meant. So I said them to flash the Chinese rom. As I found that later it is a chinese device and someone flashed the global rom on it so they can sell it for more money that's how I got it. Shop didn't care about that as I told them. They said it was my fault.

Since then I have been using the device. Nothing major hadn't happen but no google service. I kind of hard to do the things and some apps are bugging some times since most of apps need google play services nowadays. And they're is no way to install google services on the device without unlocking and flashing device.

I want to know that if I unlock the device and if I fash the global rom will it will brick again. I don't want to mess with it again if that's going to happen. Any why it locked the bootloader when I decided not to is there any secret setting in mi flash tool or some things other than that?

I have flashed may devices and rooted flash custom rom etc.. but nothing have been this much of pain. I'm new to Xiaomi device. This is a weird brand as I realized.

If you have any idea what should I do please give your opinion

Thanks

Sorry for the novel you had to read 😁
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Strange, you don't need to have your bootloader unlocked to boot global ROM on Chinese phone (that is only if you flashed it correctly and properly). Don't flash through mi flash tool, flash the global ROM directly through SP flash tool. I myself flashed global ROM on a Chinese Redmi 9A with SP flash tool and then locked the bootloader, and it works just fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
Really

I saw this too, later. Since the mi flash tool is officially used way. That's why I used it. Look what I got to with that.

So you're saying that you flashed without unlocked bootloader?

So you used auth bypass and flashed through sp flash tool ?

Doesn't that mess up bootloader or something?

Thanks for your reply ✨
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Yes, you have to bypass auth if you want to flash through SP flash tool (there are many tools which can do that). It doesn't mess up anything, I'm currently typing this message from my Redmi 9A. Full global rom, bootloader locked, nothing Chinese left!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
Thank you✨

If have any guide or something you have found. Could you put it here. I think I need to look into this more before do this. I couldn't find much about these devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
You mean you need a guide for flashing through SP flash tool? I can give you that, but there are no guides to convert to global rom for dandelion.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
No no i want to flash the global rom not to convert to into global rom. I searched everywhere couldn't find anything either positive. If you can give a guide it would be a greaful, If you have spare time. Brief instructions will be enough.

Thanks 👍
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
It's the same thing. There are no guides for this but here is the guide to flash through SP Flash tool. Just replace the Redmi 9A stock rom with Redmi 10A one.

Thanks brother ✨ for your time
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
Some over there told me that if I use that method without bootloader unlock it will brick the device. I don't know whether it's just for the 10a but something similar happened when I'm trying to flash earlier 🙂
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Nope it won't. Unless if you flash through fastboot. Just flash it through SP flash tool, not fastboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
Okay brother will see🥲

Don't you think if I unlock the bootloader then flash the rom via sp flash tool

Will this work?

I want to more certain that I won't brick it again🥲
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
If your bootloader is locked or unlocked, it doesn't matter. But I think you should unlock your bootloader before because it will remove any risk of bricking. Your will stay unlocked even after the flash.

Also, DON'T use "Format all + download" in SP flash tool under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, it will brick your phone!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
Since I unlock the device the device, I won't be needing to use auth bypass right?

Sp flash won't lock the bootloader after flahing I think?

So I just have to use download option (not format all + download )and untick the preloader when flashing?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
No, you still HAVE to do auth bypass. Flashing with SP flash tool will not relock the bootloader in "download only" mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
Okay brother I will let you know the progress

Thanks for the help ✨
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theekseeker:
I finally flashed the global rom on this. I was little bit worried to use splash tool so I used fastboot this time worked with no problem.

Had to use old miflashtool 2017 something. I think it's a problem with latest version of that program or something. Or may be something to do with later firmware I flashed a little bit older one 12.5.7

So thanks anyway 🙏😇

[General Questions and Answers] Albert J:
Hello,

I have a long going issue with different USB hubs.

Old 13 slot Icy Box USB HUB. used it for connecting x10 Lenovo Tab M8 (2nd gen) with micro usb. Worked perfectly, never had any problems with it.

Later, same Icy Box USB HUB connecting x10 Nokia T10 with Usb Type C. After connecting around 6 devices, lights on each Hub Port start flickering and devices randomly disconnect and reconnect endlessly.

I figured this must be an issue with power, Icy Box has a power adapter for only 18W and seems to be rather outdated. So I've replaced it with a new USB HUB from i-tec which has 48W of power.

i-tec worked dodgy at first with Nokia T10 tablets, still issues with devices constantly disconnecting and reconnecting but seems like over time it got fixed, maybe Nokia updated their OS, not sure (it was very buggy on early versions). So the issue went away and I forgot about it.

Now we moved on to new Lenovo Tab M8 (4th gen) and issue came back again... After connecting 3-8 devices it starts randomly disconnecting again.

Could this be an issue with power? i-tec has external 48W power supply.

Has anyone had a similar experience with USB hubs?

Could this be an issue with cable? (I've tried a lot of different cables and don't believe it is an issue)

Any help appreciated, thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Indeed andom disconnections with USB hubs can occur. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot:

Check the Power Supply:

You mentioned that your i-Tec USB hub comes with an external 48W power supply. Make sure it’s properly connected to the hub and plugged into a reliable power source.

Sometimes insufficient power can cause devices to disconnect randomly. Ensure that the power supply is providing stable voltage.

Update Drivers:

Visit the i-tec support page to download the latest drivers and user manuals for your specific USB hub1.

Install the drivers and follow any troubleshooting instructions provided.

Check USB Ports:

Inspect the USB ports on your computer. Dust, debris, or bent pins can affect connectivity.

Try connecting the hub to different USB ports to see if the issue persists.

Test with Fewer Devices:

Disconnect all devices from the hub.

Reconnect only a few (2-3) devices and observe if the disconnections still occur.

Gradually add more devices to see if a specific combination triggers the issue.

Check for L-Connect or Similar Software:

Some USB hubs come with management software (like L-Connect for Lian Li devices) that can impact behavior.

If the problem persists, reach out to i-tec’s support team for further assistance.

They can provide specific guidance based on your hub model and setup.
[General Questions and Answers] Albert J:
Thanks you for information. I've done all these steps plenty of times, checked rechecked everything, tried different drivers for USB, nothing helped, behaviour always the same. Forgot to mention I actually use x2 i-tec 10 port hubs and connect 10 devices into each of them and they both act identically. This product doesn't have drivers as said in user manual:

"This HUB does not require installation of drivers"

It could be overloaded as it has protection for that also mentioned in user manual "Overload and overcurrent protection"

My only guess at this point is that new Lenovo M8 require more power to be properly identified on PC.

i-tec hubs I use aren't exactly cheap or bad quality and they do work much better with older devices.

Also sometimes all devices randomly disconnect and part of them instantly reconnects, while other part dissapears. This feels like some protection mechanism kicks in and shuts down the power for just a second.

any other ideas? How can I test if they are being overloaded? How do I check if Lenovo device require more power to be identified?

Root Guide​

Make sure you make a Backup of the device as this process will factory reset the device.​

Your warranty is now void. Proceed at your own risk. I am not responsible should you brick, bootloop, or destroy your device. Rooting can go wrong and often bricks devices. Should you brick your device then you will need to flash the device with the stock firmware to bring it back to full operation. However, if you point your finger at me in blame, I'm going to do like the other developers and laugh at you.

But I'm here should you have issues and/or questions!​

The MTKClient command to flash the dump file is as follows:

python mtk wl <path to dump file on PC>

Example:

python mtk wl C:/dumpfile-location-goes-here

Otherwise, you will have to flash each individual partition file through fastboot. You can use Fastboot Enhance if you don't know how to use MTKClient. Unfortunately, I don't have a scatter file to use with SPFlash Tools.

FIRMWARE VORTEX HD65 ULTRA DUMP​
[General Topics] Justadudeinspace:
Thanks, I think.. However, I explain how to make a dump file from the Vortex HD65 ultra using MTKClient with one simple code. I'm not really sure why MTKClient seems to be so difficult for people to use but I find it pretty easy.

I also don't understand the principle of doing a video guide with no sound or actual verbal guide which is the point of a video guide. Am I supposed to just squint really hard and pay close attention and try to see what he's clicking on? Or maybe if I zoom it on a big screen.
[General Topics] BypassM@ster2b:
I was wondering the same thing. Seems almost like a flex?
[General Topics] BypassM@ster2b:
Just for clarification purposes does this command pull the stock firmware from the device to the computer? Can this be done with a rooted device, and if so is what is pulled useable as stock firmware or does something need to be done to the patched boot image magisk produced?

I ask because I have this device rooted already, dont by manually pulling my firmware in a lengthy process using the mtk and another tool with a self made scatter file then flashing the boot.img i obtained to root the device, without TWRP im sure you know. Ive been asked to provide a guide for the root process and lost what I done originally. I would rather not unroot only to root, but now think it would server there unit better, as im getting constant app crashes, UI crashes etc. Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] Justadudeinspace:
So yes it pulls it to the folder on your PC that you use in the command. It makes a dump of the stock firmware images on the device. If the device is rooted then the boot.img will be a backup image of the Magisk boot.img and not the stock image because it has been replaced.

I could never get it working on 20, I just upgrade to 21 and the when i flip the wifi calling switch Carrier Setup crashes.

Did you do anything to get it working? Do you think i need to go back to stock enable WiFi calling and make calls?

Before i flashed 21 I went to stock and enable WiFi calling and the top of the screen showed "Verizon Wi-Fi Calling" but i never made a test call and once LOS 21 was on the device i could never get it enabled.

My 4a dose this just like the XL https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/7113

Well, it's always nice to be specific.

The issue you linked says "...Toggling WiFi calling from 'OFF' attempts to launch app...".

I don't have any 'app'.

My 4a has no GApps, no custom kernel, no Magisk. There's no app to launch for WiFi calling. It's simply a setting Settings->Network & Internet->Calls & SMS
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] zman519:
The app I'm referring to is part of the OS (system app) "Carrier Setup"

I recently went on a plane and noticed that when I turned on Airplane Mode and turned my Wifi and Bluetooth back on, there was a prompt to "remember this setting in the future" or something like that for it to be on even when enabling Airplane Mode. And it's been working like that ever since. No ADB or anything. I'm running on an older January firmware version as well -- so I imagine it's available whether updated or not...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
So from google side it might be OK that airplain mode will work with Blutooth On and Wifi On?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm not quite sure what you mean....I mean, if you have wifi and you are connected to an access point, you're data will act normally -- then any Google app or service should work and/or talk to Google as needed (through Wifi data); or if requires bluetooth....

Basically I think it's basically just turning off your mobile data and mobile signal, but every other radio is still on...

The ADB devices and fastboot devices commands return this:

View attachment 6105019

so I think it's good and that the smartphone is clearly seen by the PC, but for fastboot no response, no error..., but I don't see how to fix it?

Then, I put a SIM with data in the phone, linked the phone to my Xiaomi account, then in the developer options, I did this: Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status.

Then, I downloaded the Mi Unlock application ver 6.5.224.28, it detects an update ver 7.XXX but site not accessible.

Then, I put the phone in fastboot mode, connect it to the PC, I hear the little windows ding that a device is plugged in via USB, then the Mi Unlock application remains "gray" and does not see the phone. .

Anyway, I'm stuck...

maybe for fastboot to work you need to disable usb debugging?
