about the G4 Tweaksbox.. Is it the full version !?

I tried flashing it on my H811 just for shiggles, and as I figured, it didn't work. Well, I tried! Any chance of a port?

Any chance of a release for H818N ?

Did you have to flash your KDZ after?
If I just know how to correctly modify the system.img file and repack it, maybe I can do it. But you'd have to wait an eternity because my upload speed is just 1Mbs.

Nope, I was able to restore my Genisys backup...the only problem I have now is that I flashed s3v3n's ROM and I can't get my phone to recognize my SIM card after flashing an H811 ROM :/ I know it's my own fault for messing around with an H815 ROM, but I'm hoping I can fix it!

Howd you get the pin apps to be positioned besides the dual window button?

Fixed it! Flashed the 10N bootstack and then another ROM.

Lol. That's extremely courageous of you to do. Not until I figure out how to successfully modify img files.

this might be too much to ask, but...
update this rom to v10f base, and i'll gladly try

what version of miui did you had last time.? and wich version are you flashing.? seems ARB is kicking and not letting you flash rom

i had miui 10 and i've tried miui 9 and 10 and none able to flash....pls help

I did the exact same thing 2 days ago. Unlocked boot loader installed some custom roms for testing but i wanted to go back to official MIUI 9 so here is what i did. I have Redwolf TWRP recovery installed so all i did was put the full rom file of MIUI 9.6.4 in internal memory, did a format and wipe and installed it from there. It's working fine now and i am even getting a notification in updater that 10.0.2 is available (but i am not gonna install it because MIUI 10 sucks!)
Follow this tutorial starting from 8 minutes where you get the idea how to go back to MIUI from custom roms. Don't try the Mi Flash Tool method to go back!

Here all the Roms links you need (use recovery not fastboot links for downloads) and make sure to read about ARB 3 and ARB 4 versions before messing up things http://en.miui.com/thread-2340434-1-1.html
Only go forward once you are sure about everything be it bypassing ARB, flashing TRWP recovery, using lazyflash file etc because one wrong step and you can endup with a bricked phone.
ALso check this link about bypassing http://en.miui.com/thread-3436592-1-1.html

i had miui 10 before can i flash miui 9...is it ok ?

I also had MIUI 10 but now i am back to 9 so it's ok as long as you install ARB4 versions of MIUI 9 and they start from 9.5.19+ so never ever go for any version below that. I will recommend 9.6.4 (it is the final version of MIUI 9 Global) i am using it from 2 days it's stable and the only issue is battery isn't that good as it was in MIUI 10 but MIUI 10 had several issues so i will wait for a stable MIUI 10 instead of moving back just for battery.

I'm not him but I did the downgrade and until now everything works just fine. My a5 2017 is unlocked but even with the locked firmware A520FXXS7CRJC I can use both chips.

I'm currently using A520FXXS7CRI8 BL which is for UAE so if I flash this firmware will I have a problem because CSC's are different and plus didyou have cell standby problem while you were using Oreo and if you had, was it fixed after you downgraded to Nougat?

When I try to install Nougat with Odin I get this error into my A5 17 in download mode:
sw rev. check fail(bootloader) device: 7, binary: 4
Also the flash in Odin fails after it tries to insert the param.bin file.
Someone has some clues or can provide me some help, please?
Thank you :angel: :angel:

it is just an idea of mine, i haven't tried it before. since i switched to lineage 16. but i will try when i switch back to los 14

Your firmware you are trying to flash isn't the the same or higher version of bootloader. It would happen if you tried flashing nougat after you upgraded to Oreo. Even if you flashed Oreo on Oreo that had a later security patch.

Make sure you do a backup first. It is very likely to bootloop. So make sure you have the latest firmware on hand just in case. I would also make sure bootloader is unlocked. And you should probably factory reset before hand. Last thing, make sure you flash the boot partition not the bootloader.

Okay! Any clue on witch nougat firmware should I download from sammobile in order to make it work?

I don't know if the latest 7.0 firmware will even work. But you could try it and remember to have the latest 8.0 firmware on hand just in case.

TWRP not booting (Zuk Z2 Plus)

Months ago installed Jaguar Oreo 8.1 on a friend's 3/32GB Zuk Z2 Plus, along with the usual bootloader unlock, TWRP 3.2.2.0 and Magisk.
Today my friend went home and we just downloaded CarbonROM 8.1.0 for a change, but upon booting to TWRP something went wrong, the screen got filled with some sort of super zoomed in error message which I couldn't decipher as a handful of letters were already enough to fill the entire width of the screen and more. We managed to reboot to system and upgraded TWRP to latest 3.2.3.0 via TWRP application. We rebooted again to recovery but same error, this time with

Tux in the middle of the screen.
I asked my friend if he had installed something suspicious in his operating system, he said some pixel launcher whateverstuff via Play Store but, other than that...
He went home but just sent me a screenshot of his About phone screen: his baseband version is 9-00026-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.63821.1
Could it be that his baseband version is too old? This was not a problem before, though I do not know when did his recovery stopped working.
Could this be a bootloader code problem? Any bootloader upgrading tips?
If some of you could discern what went wrong here, please say so.
Thanks and regards

BUMP

It already happened to me thousands of times to get that big error, but as long as you don't skip the 5sec of the bootloader there is no error. Never seen the Tux thing but to fix the error itself you just need to flash a splash (custom or stock) from recovery.

Interesting…
Interesting, will have to wait a little for confirmation (once my comrade tries it out).
Just checked [GUIDE] How to Create Custom Splash Screen (Boot Logo) for Zuk Z2/Z2 Pro.
Flashing a new splash.img just removes the error, doesn't it? I mean, the “bootloader unlocked” 5 second wait was non-existent in former times, my old rooted Moto G XT1032 has not such annoyance.

The baseband is outdated.. The latest baseband is 1.76 or 1.70 .. Bootloader needs to be updated as well.. The best way ahead would be qpst to latest zui..
Qpst zui 1.9 and then ota update to latest zui 4.0 and then follow unlock and install latest twrp.. Be aware it does not support treble roms. Also all data on phone would be lost so back the stuff up.

Thanks!
Thanks for chiming in sanjay.2704. I have a few questions:
QPST looks to be an official Qualcomm stock firmware flash tool. Do I need to download some stock ROM from somewhere or the QPST tool does it for me? Mmm, seems it does not.
Why do you say QPST ZUI 1.9 first? 0K, found related stuff here: [ROM] [OFFICIAL] [OREO] ZUI 3.5.261 ST for Z2 Plus/Z2
Mmmkay here it goes, will flashing to ZUI 1.9 or the latter 3.5.261 upgrade the baseband and bootloader? Is this a yes?
Cheers

3.5.xxx is enough.
You can upgrade of course to 4.0.199, but flashing 3.5.xxx is also sufficient.

Can't install any custom rom on A505W Canadian Variant. Unable to mount /vendor error.

Hello everyone. I currently have a A505W Canadian variant, bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. I made the big mistake of updating to the last version of android 11 and, while I prefer android 10 for what I need the phone to do, I can't downgrade anymore. I'm trying to install, at that point, any custom rom there is. But I can't. I don't know if it's related, but every time I try to install a rom, with TWRP, I always get the error "Unable to mount '/vendor'" and the installation fail. Some rom get concidered successfully installed, by their custom installations process, but end in a boot loop. All I can do is install the stock firmware with odin. I've been on this for 3 days now, can anybody help me? That would be much appreciated. Have a nice day!

Ok, so if I understand correctly I'll need to find custom roms specific to the A505W? which seem to be VERY rare.

So far, only international variants(F and FN) are being built so we don't know if any rom will work on W variants. Maybe try GSI, they are almost the same but they mostly differ in vendor

yes, you should definitely check GSI and sGSI out. Some of the a50 users manage to boot android 13 dp1 on A50. for GSIs https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/treble-enabled-device-development-a-ab-roms.7260/

I'm on it. I think I found one GSI rom that is working pretty well for now. I need this phone to do a very specific job. I prefers magisk 23 for this since I need magisk hide. So I tend to go with older version of android (10 or 11). Also, the lastest stock firmware was not really up to the task either (got many bugs) and I made the mistake to update my android 10 stock, which was working perfectly, to the last official version of 11, so no downgrade possible for me. I just need to find the right rom for my needs now.

Search XDA for the latest Frija Windows application version. Beyond that, sammobile.com is where I've pulled my provider's stock images for an upcoming downgrade attempt. You should be able find your provider's CSC easily enough elsewhere; you'll need it to pull the proper ROM.

@AliasGprime how did you unlock the bootloader on your A505W? I'm researching this and see only paid options to unlock BL and no one can reach the member who used to unlock.
EDIT: after several attempts, I did finally get the bootloader unlock menu.

Hi,
Just wanted to put this info out there for unlocking bootloader. ( This would wipe your data )
Model A505W
Steps:
Enable OEM Unlock
Power Off
Hold vol-up and vol-down and power button ( As per other tutorials and videos you have to attach charging cable but that did not work for me )
Follow instructions on screen
reboot ( It takes long to reboot as all data is going to be wiped )
