Bit early considering we aren't even positive what the final product's hardware will entirely be Can't wait though

can't wait too that's why i have written xD i don't know what to buy, my s6 is the worst phone for modding and updates, 1 year and i still have not rooted anything! I was getting used to root the first day when i was buying new phones don't want my next phone to be like s6

Exactly that's what I'm afraid of, too. If I decide to buy a new phone, I'd like to compile ROMs for it by myself, too, but therefore the vendor, device and kernel tree need to be published by HTC. I've just been looking around how custom development for the HTC One M9 looks like. Although I couldn't find many ROMs, there are official Cyanogenmod versions and open device and kernel trees. Thus I could compile many ROMs for the One M9. This gives me hope regarding the HTC 10. The Galaxy S6 instead didn't have no huge moding posibilities. There's only an unofficial, unstable device and kernel tree alongside a bugy CM-version. Just like the S6 the S7 probably won't get huge development support as well. This is what gives me hope regarding the HTC 10.
The only question I'm currently asking myself is if I should buy the HTC 10 or wait for the Oneplus 3 which will be published later in Q2 2016. Compared to the OP2 and OP1 it'll be a bit more expensive but it'll also be better equiped. Furthermore the price will probably be much lower than the price of the HTC 10. What are your expectations and what have you been able to definitely find out so far?

I'm still tryng to figure out what to do...lg has dropped support for rooted or bootloader unlocked device in italy, and the g5 seems to be a bit strange te me, i mean, it's not as premium as g4..regarding oneplus devices, for the 1 and 2 i read about bad screens and something else wich i don't remember, never saw one...i'd prefer staying on a strong brand...samsung obviously is exhiliated from any decision...sony maybe but no xD never liked the screens in the past...
My old nexus 5 make me wish about a decent nexus around 5" screen, I'd really love it, especially powered from a snapdragon 820 cpu..
Mi5 is lovable, but, you know...it's xiaomi...china brand, china support, 30 days for travelling a device if something happens, and that is for 2 times...its frightening xD
Htc 10 seems to be the best choice, ut will surely be premium, even if it does not have a good camera i don't care, just bought an eos 700d xD i just hope there will be a lot of modding, that is why i asked here
Htcdev.com is still working good for all the other htc, it must have decent modding, i think I'll go for it. At least, that's what I'm thinking now...but who knows

Yeah, Xiaomi is a brand I've been looking at over the last two years. I recommended Xiaomi phones to friends who wanted to have good and cheap devices. They are lucky all together but the only phone by Xiaomi I'd buy is the Mi Note Pro as a phone should have 5,7 inch in my opinion. I'd also like to have an AMOLED-Display in my next device so I hope HTC will release a bigger version of the 10 as well. The LG G5 is not really what I am looking for since it's a bit strange to have several components you can choose from. I think I'll buy a OP3 when it's published as it'll probably be more developer friendly but maybe the 10 by HTC will convince me, too. I'm really excited about the upcoming devices especially because my Nexus 4 from 2012 becomes slower and slower. Very anoying. Maybe a new Nexus will be released at the Google IO this year. This would be awesome. Anyway, I hope the potent upcoming phones will come sooner than later as I don't know how long my N4 will survive.

Very informed you guys are. I like this thread cause' I think a lot like you.

Also looking for an answer on this: I was tempted by the Galaxy S7, but the huge issues I've had running anything but TouchWiz based ROMs on my S4 (and so issues running anything Marshmallow based) have put me right off.
How easily moddable have HTC phones been in recent years?

The M7, M8, M9, and A9 are all very easy to do basic modding on. Getting s-off and deep modding is a different story. On the M8, at least, you can flash custom ROMs and kernels without s-off, so basically everything most people needs

does it mean that with m9 if you do not s-off you can't touch system, boot or recovery partition? ( i'm still leaving in the time when you did fastboot oem unlock and everything was ok )

No, the things you can't do without S-Off are:
*flash unsigned firmware packages
*flash firmware packages that don't match CID/MID
*flash RUUs that don't match CID/MID
*change CID/MID
*restore "locked" status (without you can only get "relocked" status)
*restore "software status: official" flag in bootloader (flag sets to "software status: modified" if you flash anything)
What you can do without S-Off:
*unlock bootloader (via HTCdev)
*flash recovery
*root (via superSU package or your favorite custom ROM)
*flash ROMs

Is this a big process? Is everything already available? Does any part of the rooting process wipe the device? If so, may make more sense to just do it right out of the box to avoid losing info

TWRP can already be found and downloaded; at least if one will look for it at the right place . I already downloaded it. SuperSU can as well be downloaded for MM devices. By this I'd guess the root procedure can be done as it always has been.

Cannot flash Global ROM to Mi Max 32GB/3GB

This is my first Xiaomi phone and it seemed to arrive with a Chinese ROM on it (V7.3.14.0.MBCCNDC) so I have been trying to change it to a proper official Global ROM with zero success so far.
I have downloaded the ROM from here: http://en.miui.com/download-302.html
Filename: miui_MIMAXGlobal_V7.5.3.0.MBCMIDE_267a7c4439_6.0.zip
If I follow either of these guides (I do not need TWRP, just the official ROM) then I always end up failing at the same part.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/installing-twrp-locked-bootloader-t3406501
http://en.miui.com/thread-307139-1-1.html
I reboot the phone into EDL mode by holding down both volume buttons and then connecting a USB cable after the phone has vibrated and stayed on a black screen. The PC then detects the phone as a Qualcomm device and assigns a port number to it.
MiFlash then finds the port number and I point the file browser to the extracted zip folder named: miui_MIMAXGlobal_V7.5.3.0.MBCMIDE_267a7c4439_6.0
After selecting the clean all radio button at the bottom and then pressing the flash button the status and time elapsed meters start moving and then after a few seconds the status changes to 'can not read from port COMxx' (I have used a few different port numbers so it can be COM10, COM20, COM3 etc).
So far I have tried this on three different PC's, 2 running Windows 10 and 1 running Windows 7, and the result is the same every time.
If I download the update file on the phone, rename it to update.zip and then place the update.zip file in the root of the internal storage drive and choose update from file on the phone then the phone reboots to a spinning circle for a while before restarting normally.
I also tried rebooting the phone into recovery mode from the built-in update app and connected it to Mi PC Suite but that just updated it to V7.5.6.0 MBCCNDE which is another China ROM so its still of no use to me really.
Can anybody help with this? This process really shouldn't be so difficult and I am starting to consider sending this phone back. I have made an application with Xiaomi to have the bootloader unlocked but that can take over a week and tbh I don't really want an unlocked bootloader anyway because I have no interest in custom ROM's, root access or special recovery options.

I have seen many people with that problem and haven't seen any working solution yet...
I understand you don't want TWRP or unlocked bootloader but that's the only way you can get the job done and forget all these buggy Xiaomi tools.
Something else you can try... Google QFILwhich is the Qualcomm flash tool and does the same thing what MiFlash does. Search and read the guides how to unbrick Qualcomm devices with QFIL. All additional files needed like flasher, partitions.xml etc are in MIUI fastboot ROM already. Actually MiFlash is based on that tool I think...
Good luck.

Thanks but I'm a bit cautious about being the first person to try to use that QFIL flashing utility with this phone, especially since this phone stupidly doesn't include an integrated recovery system. I've found a generic tutorial for it but it looks pretty scary tbh.
http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimat...agons-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil/
Incidentally when I updated the phone using Mi PC Suite it killed the Google Play Services and I couldn't fix them so I did a normal factory restore and it has restored to a standard China ROM (MIUI 7.5 | Stable 7.5.6.0 (MBCCNDE) so clearly the vendor flashed some weird custom version to this before they sent it to me.
Honestly, this thing is starting to drive me insane.

You have to use these drivers for your Qualcomm port: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9oNcsjcOpNHZjI1OWtFSDFfS3c/view?usp=sharing
Delete the original Windows driver and install it again through device manager.

Thanks, I'll give it a try with that driver tomorrow. I did try another driver that I found on Google as well as the auto installed driver because it looked like a communication problem to me.
There's a driver pack on that Xiaomi tips website but I haven't been able to install it because the hosting used by that website is terrible and it just times out.

OK so I think I updated the driver using the one from your link but unfortunately the error is the same.
I uninstalled the device through DM and it self-installed this driver.

Then I used the Update driver > Browse > Let me pick > Have Disk option to force the driver from your link to install so the driver was updated to this:
The error in MiFlash is still exactly the same though: can not read from port COMxx.

OK the problem here seems to be that MiFlash cannot support standard recovery ROM's. It has to use those larger ones with the scripts etc included.
I was able to flash this with no problems whatsoever: http://en.miui.com/thread-324576-1-1.html
However I'm worried that might not be the official software and I want to keep this simple and official and get all updates OTA in future.
Unfortunately the only global full ROM available for this phone on the MIUI website is the Developer build.
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
The version I have just flashed also doesn't include locales for the UK or Japan and I spend most of my time in those countries. I've set it to Singapore for now but I feel like I'm right back to square one with this thing.

From what I read official MIUI Global is missing many locales and that's why people are using xiaomi.eu ROM. I even suggested in there forum to stop calling it global b/c its not and call Asia or something...

The included country list on it is quite frankly bizarre. It includes some European countries but not others and has options for the Falkland Islands and St. Kitts but no option for Britain or the United States.

Yup no United States

8/16 if they get it right...

The problem is with no UK locale I don't know if I can get the IR Blaster working.
It's a small problem in the grand scheme of things but still one I would like to fix if I can.

@ Blood Rose - I am assuming so far you've kept the boot loader locked and flashed the global stable 7.5 version - on your 32 GB device? did you lose data - did you get any OTAs (security patches). I am looking to go to miui 8 - possibly chinese - the global development may not be as timely. Also I have the 64 gb version and there's not much going on the global ROM versions for that one.

I did flash a global stable version of 7.5. It's the latest official rom I believe. I did a full wipe to make sure all traces of the Chinese stuff were gone. Because its the latest official version ut hasn't received any OTA updates yet but it at least seems to connect to the official servers to check whereas the ROM the phone came with couldn't.
My bootloader is now unlocked because the MIUI forum staff offered to do immediately for me so I figured I might as well but I will not be using root or any custom builds.

Thanks

That depends on what you want to change it to. If it is a newer/alternative official ROM then that is easy. If it is to a custom ROM then you need an unlocked bootloader.

I neither know nor care about custom ROMs. I'm quite sure there is probably a way to circumvent Xiaomi's bootloader lock but I was just providing the standard textbook advice tbh.

Hi BloodRose,
Does the Xiaomi ROM support large file sizes, like an HD movie?
I am doing research on the Mi Max before buying.
I am based in the US, and it will not be my primary phone.

[BOOT] Remove Boot Warning - Tested on Exynos - After Root - 21st October 2019

Hello everyone ...
I hope you all are fine...
For those who are looking for a way to remove the warning for device other than Note 10 versions, please go to the link:
[BOOT] Remove Boot Warning - All Exynos Devices - After Root - Tutorial
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So after following the Rooting guide (Bless @dr.ketan , @geiti94 & @ianmacd)
I followed mainly this thread for the ROOT:
[Guide] How to root Note10/Note 10+ & Flash TWRP (Exynos only)
Sub-threads that are useful:
[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy Note 10 (Exynos)
[Pie] [System-as-root] Multidisabler: encryption, Vaultkeeper, proca, auto-restore
After getting the root,
The boot-up screen wasn't like we were used to,
There are many warnings which kind of screams ROOTED device aside from not being beautiful...
I have decided to grab the images and replace them with the original logo of my Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus & Non Plus...
Instructions are very simple and easy to follow:
Exynos is working, (Snapdragon owners: This does not work for you, please wait until I figure it out)
Download the file "XXXXX_YYYYY_FIX_BL.tar" in the attachments...
YYYYY = choose your device 10 or 10 PLUS because dimensions are different, normal or 5G because of different logos...
XXXXX = STOCK or CENTER, look at the attached Gifs to understand the difference...
Switch off your phone and then go into the download mode (vol up + vol down and connect USB)...
Start Odin (if you don't have Odin, grab it from this thread)...
Place the file "XXXXX_YYYYY_FIX_BL.tar" in the BL section...
OPTIONAL: make sure auto-reboot is off in Odin (personally I prefer to reboot the phone myself)...
Once the flashing is complete, disconnect and exit the download mode...
Enjoy looking at your phone
I attached different gifs in the second post #2 showing before BL flashing and after the flashing, tested on Exynos SM-N970, SM-N971, SM-N975 & SM-N976...
Again, make sure you flash the right fix, "XXXXX_YYYYY_FIX_BL.tar"
YYYYY = choose your device 10 or 10 PLUS because dimensions are different, normal or 5G because of different logos...
XXXXX = STOCK or CENTER, look at the attached Gifs to understand the difference...
Again, I thank @dr.ketan , @geiti94 & @ianmacd for their time to make root possible...
Don't Forget to Smash the THANKS Button
and
if you're very happy, support or buy me a cup of coffee through a donation, that would be nice ​
Happy Modification ...

(14/12/2020) XDA removed the gifs because of the attachment limit per post, added attachments here...

Snapdragon owners, it has been confirmed, all exynos models won't work for you, thus I have to make snapdragon version, if you have the patience and time, please volunteer to solve this, all volunteers will be credited in the thread, thank you in advance...
Exynos owners, If you have a different boot-up logo other than the what I have shared,
share your Firmware BL mentioning your device model...
(it's 3 MB file, I won't download 5.3GB ROM that would be useless for me, You can download it since it will benefit your phone if you need to flash stock and so, it's a win-win situation )
This is a zero-risk method and no need to backup as your device will boot-up normally
as you're flashing images, not software or any part of the system
(BUT DO BACKUP, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT MIGHT GO WRONG)

move the samsung logo down so it's perfectly centered or get rid of all and just make it a black screen the amount of time this shows would be so small you wouldn't notice

Well I'll try to center it as for black, it won't be small, after rooting, there will be approximately 5 to 8 seconds time margin...
As the phone tends to show you the bootloader warning and wants you to hit the power button to continue (have a second look at the gif I attached, you'll see the order of boot is unlike what we used to have as in older rooted phones) so when you try to boot, you'll be wondering if it booted up or not, hit recovery or not...
So I'll try to have it centered...

The device model is much better for me to know what device since I can google it,
did you say "US Tab S5E"...?
From my understanding, you are requesting for a different device, other than Note 10...
If so, give me some time, I'll create a DIY thread for that just like my SoundMod DIY...
Bare with the warning, as soon as I'm done, I'll either @ you or I'll reply to you...

T-mobile LG V30 ThinQ gets Android 9.0 Pie Update

https://www.mylgphones.com/t-mobile-lg-v30-thinq-gets-android-9-0-pie-update.html

I have a LgV30 with 7.1.2, t mobile.
wanna upgrade to 9.0.
Nothing I do makes my mac or my pc recognize my phone. I've used Lg bridge & Lg pc suite.
Sometimes android file transfer works, but that's not for upgrading OS.
Somebody mentioned upgrading OS from google drive?
How would I do that?
Any suggesions appreciated.
I'm about to give up & buy the LgV40,
cuz all I really want is color management
so my edited pix look the same across devices.
Thanks.

You would not be using LG Bridge or LG PC Suite. You need to read post #2. Right there at the beginning of the thread! Post #2.
Go to the KDZ thread link and install using Dev Patched LGUP.

Just to make sure: Your phone is model H932 (T-Mobile version of V30). Right?
This thread is for H932, and you do say you're "with" T-Mobile, so I assume that's what you have. I only ask because H932 normally works with LG Bridge. And if you use the KDZ thread mentioned in post #2 with ANY other V30 model, you will brick your phone.
So just making sure

Good point!
@ericLindellNYC, don't care if you have an LG "V30". There's a few V30 that will work on T-mobile. But do you have a T-mobile H932? If you don't, then tell us what you do have, and we can tell you how to update THAT to Pie.
If you do have a T-mobile H932, then my previous answer will tell you all you need, when you go to the KDZ thread for the T-mobile H932.

It's now available OTA from T-Mobile

We know.
But OTA is partial image update -- dependent on your carrier and if your phone acts right.
KDZ is full image, which will always be superior. You can control exactly when and how you flash -- Upgrade (like a manual OTA, keeping data if full stock) , Refurbish, Partition DL.
Most of us on XDA have unlocked bootloaders and TWRP custom recovery. So, we want total control over how to flash updates. But even if I was full stock (which my spare V30+ is), I still flash full image KDZ via Dev Patched LGUP.
If something goes wrong, I can fix it right then.

I have full stock LG-H932. Should I just download OTA?

Just double checking to verify. This update is still arb0?
I recently went back to 100% stock and don't plan to root again for at least a little while. So, I want to make double double sure that after installing this update we can still roll back and root or whatever we want to do.

All other pies were ARB00; not sure bout T-Mobile

I was skeptical that it would be ARB0, but the filename says 00, so I guess it really is: H93230d_00_0902.KDZ.
I haven't installed it myself, but I trust it. All the other LG Pies worldwide have been ARB0.
I'm stock too, waiting for LG to hopefully approve a warranty claim on my touchscreen. And I was concerned that an ARB1 update might arrive before, since they always send phones back with the latest update after repair or replacement.

... I just got the Pie update, AND once again no Project Treble. There is already Project Mainline coming to devices, and LG couldn't even manage to get that done after about a year waiting for Pie. Not sure what the G stands for in LG, but I hope it isn't for greatness.

Yeah, i got the update too, now i'm in Algeria but i have a network locked phone but i still get the update, but how do i unlock that phone ! i didn't find a solution, even paid one ! any help ?

There never will be Treble for "Joan" V30/30+/V30S. Even when some V30 next year get LG stock Android 10. So not sure why you are even mentioning Treble.
It's been explained over and over, yet for some reason people keep expecting Treble? Don't know why. Either you're new or not been paying attention. . Was thoroughly discussed last year when Oreo update came...
V30 series launched bwith Nougat, in 2017. There's no requirement for Treble except for Android devices that LAUNCHED with Oreo.
Trying to send any updates that not only update OS but also create some new Treble partition across ALL the many variants and carriers worldwide would be a disaster waiting to happen. And would take even LONGER to roll out Pie.

Yep, so it seems. It would be nice if LG can make it possible as an option using say LG Bridge with instructions that would backup the entire partition so that nothing would be lost after the re-partitioning.
Has anybody been successful creating a vendor partition for H932 using the SGCMarkus guide: How to repartition for vendor and how to use GSIs?

Sorry, there's no easy solution. You had to find the guy online who can spoof a m another T-Mobile model number and I think you have to downgrade to Nouga5 for it to work. He went by TMobile killer or something like that and it cost money.
Instructions were posted but removed by mods because obstensibly it was advertising for a commercial service.
Do NOT fall for scammers who claim they can give you a "code" that will carrier unlock/SIM card unlock T-Mobile H932. Simple code will NOT work.
Basically the only people who should buy T-Mobile phones are T-Mobile customers....

Yes, many people tried that.
But now that we have tons of regular ROMs with everything working except for stock camera and VoLTE most people just use those.
Or run rooted stock firmware with Magisk and edXposed modules.

Others (but not all) have reported those lags on Pie.
You could try this weird fix shared by @thefpspower: Simply make a backup in LG Bridge. You don't have to restore it, just make the backup. Some app permissions/settings may have to be redone afterwards.
If that doesn't work, I suggest a Master Reset. NOT just a Factory Reset, but the button dance.

I installed it a couple of hours ago. Things that I have noticed. Custom notifications only play for up to 5 seconds, if you change your minimum width in developer settings, it reverts upon boot although my Pixel 6 Pro does that too, and it turned my blue digital clock on my home screen lavender and I can't change it back. They also added the Google/T-Mobile screen on the very left and I haven't found the way to turn it off yet.
My wife also got the update to 12 on her OnePlus 9.

Can anyone that has updated their T-Mobile variant to a12 and has root install Network Signal Guru and see if when you force your phone to NR only and run a speed test if you get n71-n41 CA? Also can anyone pull the updated modem image and share it?

You can get both n71 & n41 in NSA mode but they disabled n41 in SA mode (NR only) on a12. It mainly only affects if you force it to NR only mode (which I don't recommend unless your market has reliable VoNR active) and you want the n71-n41 SA CA, I'm NSA mode (NR / LTE) it has no real affect (unless T-Mobile decides to enable n71-n41 CA in NSA mode).

The Google/T-Mobile thing is from T-Mobile play. I removed it with adb and it went away. Now it looks like the normal Google discover page.

With new update OEM unlocking is now available. Can we now root and install custom ROMS? Is there twrp available for us yet? Sorry havent been in the root game for years n hope someone can point me in right direction or to even convert to global. Thanks n sorry in advance if answer is easy to find. I havent had phone that was rootable for years n im wondering if this is a over sight by oneplus cuz my phone is not paid off lol and OEM unlocking is usually grayed out

Wait. Because on global C44 update I had working band 41. You're telling me the T-Mobile version loses band 41 as well? It's the only band I get usable data at home with.
in old versions and all other phones n41 gave me 40+Mbps at home. Randomly I've gotten 150+Mbps. With this new A12 I'm stuck only getting maximum 20 but realistically 1-5.

No, that's not what I'm saying. B41 / N41 works on every version of a11 and a12. The difference is that since a12 on the global release at least n41 SA (only connecting to 5G stand alone, not aggregating with LTE) was disabled. N41 in NSA mode (NR + LTE still works without an issue on n41/n71) still works as normal. Was just trying to see if the T-Mobile a12 update had 41 SA enabled since global still doesn't.

Ok. So in NSG I always would only use n41 to get my fast speed at home. So tonight I'll try n41/71 to see if I can get those fast speeds again.
And I noticed this slower speed only in c47 not in C44 for the short amount of time I had it fwiw.
I considered swapping back to TMobile version because Sprint/T-Mobile is the only carrier that uses this band in USA. So maybe they activate it on their phones.
Edit: important also to add I had to use the magisk data module to even get data at all because of the two sim card thing. Since we have two you have to trick it to use one or whatever

Yeah, would be interesting to see if the a12 T-Mobile update has n41 SA re-enabled or not. Frustrating that they removed it from the global US a12 updates though. Not familiar with the data module that you had to use since I have the unlocked version, but wouldn't think it would change anything, unless it's reflashing the modem from a11, which then n41 SA should still be enabled. Why I was hoping someone would post their a12 T-Mobile modem. I would try and flash it on my unlocked variant and see if it enabled it or not (if it would even boot with it). If you do update to the T-Mobile a12, could you pull your modem.img and post it?

Not sure if partition backup uses .img for backup or not. If so it should be fine, if not wouldn't work. I usually just use the MSM tool to pull the partitions. All you have to do is open MSM tool, press F11, choose modem_a and modem_b, password is OnePlus and hit okay. After, put phone in EDL and connect to computer and hit the read back option in MSM tool. It will save the files to your C: drive. It's also a great way to root newer updates when we don't have the full download, we can just use it to pull boot.img and patch it. Either way just upload to wherever GDrive, mega, whatever and post link. I appreciate it.

Updating to a12? Very possible. I've heard issues with T-Mobile a12 update. There's also still plenty of issues with global a12 update. As far as modem, I was just curious if they enabled other bands on T-Mobile modem compared to the global one. I can always look later and see if the link to the full T-Mobile a12 update has been posted, if so I can just extract it myself.

I can always look later and see if the link to the full T-Mobile a12 update has been posted, if so I can just extract it myself.
