[Q] The exact same OTA Updates constantly coming to my device?

I have literally said yes to updating every time it pops up. I know it's the same, because it's the same size every time (293.3 MB). Not to mention I've said "accept" every time, installed, reboots my device, then couple days later it tells me to do it again. Another thing to note are the same 3 systems apps asking to be updated (Voice Mate Speech Pack, Voice Mate, Voice Mate Engine).
Text from the update:
This update will ensure your device is working at optimal performance with the Sprint Network. The update will require that your phone is rebooted and it will not be available for emergency calls while installing the software.
My LG G3 is the Sprint variant (ls990), rooted via Stump Root and on the stock android. I have used G3 TweaksBox, as well as installed Xposed.
PM me for a link to the screenshots.
Anyone with an answer? Google only refers to Lollipop updates that are still not here anyways

You know OTA`s will only be installed when a device is unrooted and doesn`t have any system modifications. Either disable OTA notifications or flash a stock rom and have root removed or flash a custom recovery and rom.

Yaar my issue still exists its not rooted and I am using in Pakistan - also my Roaming setting crashes as soon as I open it. Would be better to root and add custom ROM to it?

Uconnect App on Pie

Pixel 2 XL on 9.0
Bootloader Unlocked
TWRP Recovery
Rooted via Magisk 17.1
The Uconnect app for my Jeep no longer functions because the new version for Android 9.0 checks for an unlocked bootloader or root. When trying to login to the Uconnect app, I receive a popup that states I'm using an unapproved device. When contacting the developer, they claim that it's because my device is a security threat. I've tried Magisk Hide to no avail.
Any suggestions?

Same thing here too. I have an older S6 Edge + running a rooted Android 7.0 with Magisk 17.1. Magisk Hide doesnt fix it as well.

having this issue as well with the latest uConnect app. Pixel 2XL is rooted and unlocked. I loaded the latest stock firmware 9.0 and tried the uConnect app prior to rooting and it works on my end, but still a no-go once Magisk is installed. I even tried the magisk hide and the module that can alter prop to further hide magisk and no go. I think it may be that it is looking for root and is awfully good at finding it. If anyone can get this to work, would be great! I dont get why FCA is so worried about root. One would think that since we have to go through a VERY specific sequence to get root and unlock the bootloader, that we would have quite a grip on what goes on with our phones. Anyways, if someone comes up with something......

Uconnect is detecting Magisk Manager. You have to uninstall it in order for Uconnect to work.

Well that sucks

I ran into something like this, but it was because I had an old version of the app. I uninstalled Uconnect completely and re-installed. After the re-install it was a new blue colored logo instead of the black one and has a different layout.
Not sure if this is the same problem, but figured I'd mention it.

I tested root and non rooted. Both seemed to function fine for me. I initially thought rooted might be the issue for me, but it ended up being the old app.

Fresh install from play store gets me this.

Perhaps see if you can hunt down an older version apk and sideload that. That happens to me from time to time. Always has. Across different devices.

Sadly, if I install an older version it prompts to update with no way around it... If anyone knows a version that works please post here.

Wondering if a logcat would help to pinpoint the issue and assist the magisk developer with a fix.

The old (black) version of the app doesn't work with 9.0

Very discouraging
I am using black version for now this is very discouraging though. The new app version would be nice working because the black looks as though they won't be updating it anymore.

Same issue on my OnePlus 5T, the Black Icon version cannot connect to the network on Pie and the new Blue Icon is detecting something. I think it detects the unlocked bootloader, I tried to repackage Magisk Manager and it had no effect.

why does a car/radio company care what a joke glad i dont have a car with unconnect

OK boys and girls. I think I found a fix. might not work for all of you, but I got the App to load and let me in.
I'm running the latest Pie version, Magisk 18.1 (Riru - Core v16, Riru - Ed Xposed) and XPrivacyLua (xposed module)
in XPrivacyLua for the Uconnect App, I restricted, Get Applications. Uconnect Logs in.

So, if you have a Honor JSN-AL00 or a JSN-AL00a then you should've came across a problem were you were stuck on EMUI 8.2 and isn't able to upgrade your software and today I have found a solution for this irritating problem, First you should head to the settings on EMUI 8.2, then head to Applications, then you will find Three dot icon next navigate through then click Show System Processes, After that type Google in the search and uninstall anything that has google in it's name, then restart your phone and check for Software updates and you should receive the updates.
Keep updating your device until you reach to EMUI 9.1.0.215 then stop updating the device then follow the Video while being on EMUI 9.1.0.215
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm1FggPu-Zs
Then after you have got the GMS apps working fine on EMUI 9.1, you can continue the updates until you reach to EMUI 10.
PS: I have tried this method myself and it works flawlessly, so make sure you follow each step mentioned above and if you face any problems during the process, make sure to reply down and I'll reply to you.

Confirmed! Bravo Maestro!!! THX!

I am sorry I didn't understand. How did you get to the screen where you can see system processes?

Basically on EMUI 8, head over to the settings app, then Applications then click on the three dots then Show system proceeses then use the search bar and type google then uninstall any app that has google in its name and restart your phone

Hi, I managed to do it. Thank you very much everybody. This is working!

Thanks, I got GMS working with EMUI 9.1 with your guide, and am (slowly) updating to EMUI 10. It's important to that you stop at 9.1.0.215 before installing GMS, a casual search online shows that the method may fail for 9.1.0.219+

Before reading this post I tried to downgrade and I was successful from emui 10 to 91. however I was unable to install GSM and tried to go back to 8.2 and even hisuite doing the update I downloaded by the firmware finder I have brick problem the report now and ask if you can give me some guidance, thankful.
Hello, I'm common but I have a little knowledge, and I need to save my honor 8x China (JSN-AL00a) that only appears in the edl testpoint, this I say because it appears in the Windows 10 device manager as (HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 ), I don't have a dongle at all, I would like to know if I could fix it, is there any software that can do for edl point without dongle? Honor 8x kirin 710. thaks

Confirmed it is working on my Honor 8x Jsn-al00. I followed the instructions and updated until 9.1.0.215 then followed the Hisuite section of the installation. Can anyone confirm if it is safe to update normally from 9.1.0.215 to newer builds? Will gms still function?

It Works man, thanks a lot. I had waiting for that a long long time. Thanks...:good::good::good:

Hi guys,
I have got a Honor 8x Jsn-al00a running EMUI10 and want to roll it back to 9.1.0.215 to get google apps installed but my hisuite shows only the 9.1.0.219 version.
How did you manage to get it available?
Does anyone have a back up to be used as restore image ?
Thanks

Question MIUI 13.0.3.0.SKHEUXM on Xiaomi Poco F3

Hello everyone.
Today I decided to update my phone (12.5.8 Enhanced) to the latest MIUI version. I was kind of skeptical going into it, but still went with it thinking "why not?" When the update finished and the phone booted, it immediately rebooted and I thought maybe that's supposed to do that, but then it rebooted again, this time to MIUI Recovery mode. And now I discovered that whenever the phone tries to connect to the WIFI or Mobile data, it reboots. Every time. When the internet is turned off, it doesn't. And I noticed that my phone has become a bit laggy and not as responsive as with the previous version of MIUI I had on it, even the refresh rate isn't working properly, it says 120hz but clearly it's 60hz. The update rendered my phone hardly usable. What could be the problem? Has any Poco F3 users encountered these problems? What should I do next? Should I really consider flashing a custom ROM?
Thank you in advance, any help is kindly appreciated.

Wow. This is just with a System update on a phone with a locked bootloader?
You could try to format data... aka. Factory Reset.
If you unlock your bootloader, you must be aware of the downsides. Some apps won't work (atleast not without a workaround), like Banking apps, Netflix, Super Mario Kart, Google Pay.
That's cuz Google's SafetyNet API reports to those apps that the Security-Status of your phone is "Fail", because of the unlocked bootloader.
You can hide it with Custom ROMs that specifically list "SafetyNet passed" or by using Magisk Root with a SafetyNet Fix Module. Or Both idk whatever.
I use Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM on Android 12 with Magisk Root. Everything works, but this stupid cat & mouse game with Google and Android Modders definitely sucks.

I have a POCO F3 phone. No problems. Hope you used windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat. In your case, you must not use the windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat option.
I have been using MIUI 13.0.3.0.SKHEUXM for a while. There was no problem.
Now I'm on MIUI 22.3.2 / 3 (weekly). I recommend. Works great, amazingly smooth, great option for new sidebar widgets ...
Of course, you need to have an unlocked bootloader. Look here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/howto-install-fastboot-image-update-info-no-ota-download.64508/
I have an unlocked bootloader. NETFLIX and Google Pay work without any problems.

Rule no.1 of miui: never update until the community approves of the update. there are always bugs, sometimes some are fixed, but other show up.
Im sure that there'll be a new update which will solve these problems soon, but who knows what kinds of issues you'll have after that. Maybe you should unlock the bootloader and flash back to miui 12.5x stock, so that you can actually use your phone.

Exactly, all are said here ... No probleme with stable and weekly version ... Balaam custom kernel can help also on those rom.

After any major OS update ( I mean moving from one version of android to another) It is recommended to do a factory reset to your phone just after the update finishes.
I always do it for my phones and I did the same for my Poco F3 and had no issues so far. The phone works great, battery improved drastically for me and overall feels fresh.
Try to do a factory reset and see how it goes. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DATA.

Thanks for the replies.

The thing is, in order to do a factory reset on the phone I have to connect to the Internet which is the thing that's causing the phone to reboot.
Can I do it like through the MIUI Recovery panel? Is it the same?

Yes you can do that, you either boot to recovery from option in the update menu or hold volume up and power while the phone is turned off, then select wipe data. Just make sure to delete Mi account from setting and google account ( I know you have no internet but just making sure so you won't get stuck if somehow you forget your password). Good luck.

Got the same problem with the refresh rate.. 120hz option doesn't work and just does 60hz. I'm using the update my phone gave me. No beta or custom stuff. Just got the 13.0.3 global stable update. 120hz isn't working. Are there any better options for me now? I was thinking about flashing the previous 12.5 update back again. I heard someone here say I can use the xiaomi.eu custom ROM which works to root that one.. where can I find that ROM? And how do I flash that. (I've rooted phones before with magisk) but forgot most of it haha. So what's my best option here? I need my 120hz

Yeah, the refresh rate not working as intended is frustrating. As with the downgrading and flashing, I'm afraid I can't help you with it, because I haven't done anything with flashing/rooting and all that kind of stuff. Wishing the best for you.

Yoo. Some dude on Reddit found the solution!!!! You have to disable miui optimisation. Go to developer settings. Then all the way down somewhere it says: reset to default values. Click that a few times. Now a setting a bit down should pop up saying: "enable miui optimisation" enable that if it isn't already. Then disable it again. Now go to display settings and switch to 60 then back to 120 and there you go. You can now enjoy your 120hz again

Banking apps work if you don't root the phone. Descendant ROM for instance passes SafetyNet as long as you do not install Magisk.

Hi, is there a way to use MIUI launcher instead of Poco launcher on poco f3 MIUI 13 locked bootloader ?? Thanks !

Since the upgrade, the audio from my phone cuts out after a few minutes and I have to restart it. I use bluetooth earphones to listen to the 'BBC Sounds' app over my home wifi. It doesn't cut out if I use a Redmi Note 8 pro nor a Samsung A5 in the same circumstances.
I don't know if it related but sometime I receive a warning notification tha I've been wearing my earphones too long. I didn't receive this warning before the Miui 13 upgrade.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to resolve the problem with the audio on my Poco F3 ?

Question Issue updating Oxygen OS, please advise

Hello,
I have recently updated my Oneplus 9 Pro to version LE2123_11_C.47, so far so good
but than it wont go further, trying to update to LE2123_11_C.61 fails,
presumably because that one is incremental and I am rooted,
I don't watt c.61 anyways but C.62 as its the newest.
Unfortunately the new UI in C.47 does not offer local upgrade with a zip file anymore.
And anyways where can I get the C.62 zip for me EU model, the download on OPs page does not have a recognizable version scheme so I'm not sure what they are offering there to me.
An other issue I stumbled upon is that when i now try to boot into twrp-3.6.0_11-0-lemonadep.img using fastboot boot ... if freezes and crashes to a qualcom dumper, WTF... is there a more twrp recent version for LE2123_11_C.47 ?
Please advise how to proceed, i would like to update to the newest C.62 lafter perhaps to the Android 13 beta, but lets leave that for later, keep my root and have a working twrp.
so whats the trick with the new versions?

PS: Progress, twrp-3.6.2_11-0-lemonadep.img boots but fails to decrypt after entering the right password...

Password don't work......try with patron, must to work.

password works on normal boot does not work with twrp, also when i google i find a lot of reports about twrp decrypt issues with android 12.

Sorry, I write it in Spanish..... pattern, you must use pattern.
You can download local update in OnePlus forum.

Aaaaa... so disable apssword enable unlock with pattern and it should work, all clear thank you will try

hmm... i switched to pattern, entered pattern in twrp and still decryption failed

haha success... i have disabled password entierly and in this state twrp could mount /data successfully
PS: fix for the updating issue was to use this "Oxygenos updater" app from the appstore to download and install a custom updater app OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk form oneplus to be able to sellect the downloaded file.
The strange thing is that the current build of android again shows the regular manual update option so no idea why c47 was so messed up :/
but now all is good only question if i should try the beta 13 or if then i have to expect even worse trouble with twrp lol

mmh.... not so great the backuo fails at 50% with error 255 failed to fork process

final success... delting /data/fonts solved the backup issue to find what to delete i only needed to review the recovery.log from twrp and look for where it failed
