Hello everyone,
this is my first post in this forum, so i'm excusing in advance if this is the wrong place for this post.
I have a samsung tab sm-t110 which is very slow on every action. I try to format it, but I see no improvement. I then look around to know a little about root and roms.
I read several thread in this forum and i have some question.
1) I'd like to speed up my tablet and remove unnecessary apps, do I just need to root it? If yes, can you confirm is this thread the one I need to follow carefully?
2) What action do you suggest to do after?
3) If you think it would be better use a rom, which one do you suggest?
Sorry if my questions are silly, I'm new and wish to know better this world before starting manipulating my devices
And thanks to whoever will spent his time answering
As far your device, you should first root it . And thn use 3rd party soft wares to delete the unnecessary apps. This will help a lot and you can also download Lineage for your device .
I root the device successfully
Thanks for the clean and easy-to-follow guide (can't write in the thread, it's closed)
For now I'll try using the rooted device with some app.
Really last question for now, what would be the best ROM? The Lineage OS that seems will be out for the end of July?

What version? I've looked through v12.1 to 14 and neither seems to have the T110 listed as compatible
Hello, I am new to XDA and I have an un rooted HTC 10 international unlocked model on software 3.16.401.2. My HTC used to have excellent battery before the Oreo update. I did multiple tests and checks to see what the issue could be and have ruled out rogue apps or hardware issues.
I have never rooted any of my phones before but I am desperate as the battery has tanked so badly
NOW TO THE POINT
I am looking for advice on:
1. If rooting my device and using a custom version of Oreo will actually improve battery issues. (Are there others who rooted for the reason I'm considering, if so did you actually notice an improvement?)
2. If so, what is the safest/most newbie friendly method of me doing this.
PLEASE NOTE: I am very satisfied otherwise with the standard features. I have switched between htc sense launcher and smart launcher but otherwise use the phone very conventionally. I am not opposed to different features but I essentially would like to have as close to what I have now without the battery issues.
(Sorry in advance if there are 100 similar threads I'm already very concerned I'll mess
this up and manage to brick my phone so I am just trying to get clear information in a thread that's not oversaturated and is written in a layman friendly (PLEASE ) way)
Thank you everyone!

1: No, routing your OS won't be the fix for your battery problems.
2: it's the way everybody had to do it, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP with fastboot and flash a custom rom. It's all explained in the guides section.

Thanks for your response! I am currently doing more research now after reading your helpful comment ?. Would I still be able to use the phones default launcher (HTC sense in my case) after unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom or will every part of the UI now be different?

What about gaining S-Off and reverting to Nougat and Nougat firmware? Seems with all the battery complaints that came along with the Oreo update, there is some validity in asking such a question.

Yes as long as you flash a sense based rom the UI will not change.

You can also downgrade without s-off but it's a bit trickier, there is a dedicated thread in the guides section that covered this. Have a look there for all info, there is also a video in that specific thread that shows how to do it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/downgrade-problems-downgrading-htc-10-t3735658/page48
But the basic question is also relevant, yes you can gain s-off and downgrade by flashing the firmware and then the ruu or a custom nougat rom.

Greetings @roberto_1986,
Your choice between A9 and A10 will summarize easily. Do you need one of the new features provided on A10 which was not present on A9 version? If you do not know or if you are not sure, then you dont need A10, stick to A9 for now. Less bugs, better performance and battery life. OS is more mature.
Now regarding rooting, on A9 Rom nothing as easy as pressing the root button under the LR TWRP (1104 version for A9 1210 for A10), then pressing the Closing AVB 2.0 button and you are done. From there you can update to latest stable version within the OS (do not use the beta ones, no point using those and it did not work for me). Works like a charm. I am on MIUI 11.0.2.0 (A9) EEA and never had any kind of issues using this method a few times. I never tried the A10 version of the LR TWRP so I have no idea if they offer the same option for rooting on A10 or not.
You can also unroot from that same LR TWRP in case that would be required at some point.
Hope this helps.

I am unsure if OFFICIAL TWRP 3.4.0 is meant for A10, I suggest you to read their its thread to see if people are using it on A10 or not. Personally I installed it yesterday on A9 and it saved my day restoring a backup made with some other UNOFFICIAL TWRP.
The UNOFFICIAL LR TWRP (chinese/english) which was released last year is the version which includes the rooting ability for A9 (and maybe for A10 too). OFFICIAL TWRP does not have such additional goodies since it is the OFFICIAL branch of TWRP.
You can check this guide using the UNOFFICIAL LR TWRP to root device, ALL steps you need to take to root your device properly are explained here. That's for A9, not A10.
[GUIDE][BEGONIA]Unlock Bootloader, Flash TWRP and Root[PROPER]
Note a quick search within forums would have probably leaded you there, try it next time, that's helpful feature of forums
As for the UNOFFICIAL LR TWRP (by wzsx150) thread for P and Q you can find it there:
[RECOVERY][begonia][UNOFFICIAL by wzsx150][P/Q]TWRP recovery for Redmi Note 8 Pro
Rooting A9 from the LR TWRP 1104 is guaranteed to work. That's what I used myself. As for A10 (Q) I have no idea, check/ask the thread.
Let us know how it turns out and you did to make it work.
Good Luck!

That's very wise not to install stuff you find from internet from unknown sources.
Not sure how you found that website, but I never heard of it or even seen it for the matter. I would not consider it safe myself.
I used to be able to download stuff from MiFirm which *looked* more legit but who knows.
You can find the required files from the xda threads I posted above, it may come from individuals, but I do consider it safer somehow because we have feedback from xda users. Back then when we installed those unofficial version there were not official support of any kind anyway so we kind of had to be 'advanturous'. I dont even remember from where I got mine myself.
Best I can do for you is to provide you with the checksums of the file I did use to root my A9 and reflashed not so long ago.
Code:
$ md5sum recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1104-REDMI_NOTE8PRO-CN-wzsx150.img
e41bba28984f14ea56da98448cd2c17d *recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1104-REDMI_NOTE8PRO-CN-wzsx150.img
$ sha256sum recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1104-REDMI_NOTE8PRO-CN-wzsx150.img
8f203aec69f1ed021badac0f94d1906fcf0530f0e41beddcbc49652705c8731b *recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1104-REDMI_NOTE8PRO-CN-wzsx150.img
This way whatever source you are getting the file from you'll be able to check it against my sums which will guarantee you got the same version I did use. However I cannot guarantee they are 'legit'.
Before you proceed any further, I want to stress you never told me the flavor of the phone you own. Mine is Global EU phone flavor running an original stock MIUI.11.0.2.0_A9_PGGEUXM. If own a Chinese flavor (ordered on Alibaba, Aliexpress etc etc) you need to be extra cautious for example as they tend to brick more from what I read.
I also remind you need an unlocked bootloader and I strongly recommend you to apply the Anti-Brick solution as described in my previous post. If you restored to stock image using MiFlash or SP Flash Tools it is very likely you need to reapply those even if you did it before. Best to apply them twice than none.
Hope this helps.

The Megathread is pretty much self explanatory for the Anti-Brick method, I cannot explain it any better than how it is explain there. Please refer to the link given in one of my previous posts and just apply the first part with flashing preloader.bin and lk.img as explained.
It will basically provide you with a safety belt in case you do anything wrong with your phone on A9 resulting in bricking the device, bootloop or whatever, so you can Flash stock back on using MiFlash / SP Flash Tool without having to need an authorized account.

This file might not be there, it is a file you have to delete to prevent OS to restore Mi Recovery 3 over your TWRP at reboot (making impossible to have TWRP stick on the phone).
In order to see that file you first need to mount 'system' in the options but as I said it is not always there.

As I said earlier, I have no experience in A10 (Q) problems as I am not willing to jump in there staying on A9 (P).
A10 benefits is not worth the risks to me. The Anti-brick method is well explained in the Megathread I posted the link few posts earlier, however, it's for A9 only not A10.
Looking at the lists of bugs still present on A10, I really see no point running A10 atm. But well anyone does what pleases him/her he he
Good Luck!

It used to pass before, at least it was when I first installed it. Then google made some updates and it is not passing anymore. I am not an expert about that, but I know there are some threads where people are talking about this particular thing.

I see.
No actually it was the other way around. When I first rooted in Feb it was passing both tests (green true).
Then one day after google made its changes it stopped working. But I only retro-graming so it is not so important for me.
Have you tried MagiskHide for the games you want to play with?
I cannot really help you with this further because I never tried to fix these myself not really needing to.
Anyway if you search Redmi Note 8 Pro forums you will see some other people are having the issue, at first I thought it was a A10 problem but probably is with the device.
Also you may found help in the telegram group REDMI NOTE 8 PRO OFFICIAL many gamers there I think.
Good luck and please let us know of your findings.

Hello friends,
I've been searching for a proper guide on how to root this device, but can't seem to find an authentic one.
I've rooted countless devices before, but the main reason I'm hesitant is that I can't find VBMeta and I'm not sure what to do with it.
So my questions are:
How do I surely root this device? You don't need to provide a full answer, just a link to a guide you trust will suffice.
What exactly do I need other than the ROM img?
What are VBMETA and Verity?
And finally, can someone confirm if this guide works fine?
Thank you very much, and a bit late but, happy new year!

Step 2: Rooting (probably you don't need it,
)
VBmeta:
in short, flashing vbmeta.img basically disables the "verified boot".

No man, not much. devs can tell you more about this.
Of course, anything that respects user's privacy, provides better UX, secure & less buggy than the stock ROM you can try it. If a custom ROM provides all or most of these, you can surely switch to custom ROMs.

Hello guys, i am new in this community and i have got this mi a2 lite 3/32. The big issue that i am facing is that of performance on this device i have to start it twice a day for it to work perfectly. So i watched a few videos and discovered custom roms for this device. I am new to all of this i dont even know the basics of it. I have never flaashed a custom rom before so i wanted to ask if there are threads on basics which explain flashing step by step and in a safe manner.
You could find a step by step guide here.
I use Havoc OC for more than 3 month and it works better then the stockrom.
If you have no experience with flashing a phone be prepared for the way back to the stockrom with the Miflash-Tool. You will find a usefull description for this case in the guide linked above.

didnt find any step by step based on that guide specially for mi a2 lite
You could find a short step by step guide in the first post of every thread which is related to a custom rom.
For example:
HavocOS
Lineage OS
Also this guide is very helpfull.

I just came here looking for some advice will try this, also was the first one i saw on the forum.
I'm looking for something like android 10 or more but performance its priority looking for some ROM that dosn't get laggy switching between telegram and whatsapp or oppening the keyboard. MIUI doesn't get that done

I expect that all custom rom show a better task management then the original rom.
My own experience is based on Havoc OS and it works very good.
Your device is 3/32 or 4/64?

No, you just need to unlock the bootloader.
You can find detailed instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...k-or-other-failures-mi-a2-lite-daisy.4351947/

My is 4/64, but the task management with the original ROM is worse on both devices.
