I accidentally deleted everything on my S9 (SM-G960F) including the OS. Phone doesnt start however I can boot it into TWRP and download, when I try flashing the stock rom with Odin it gets to System then just doesnt work. It doesnt fail nor does it crash or freeze the bar just doesnt go up and ive been trying to fix all day so please can someone help me, its a new phone too. Atm im trying to download the firmware from XDA and see if that one works, is it possible it could just be that the stock rom im trying now is just missing something or could my laptop be the problem? Im open to suggestions and please help I beg.
Make sure to use ODIN 3.13.1 and you might have to check "Repartition" in ODIN options - it can take a while to flash, how long were you waiting for the bar to move?

When your TWRP is working, put a custom rom zip into your storage or sd card while beeing in TWRP and flash this. Thats it.
You can dowwnload all the nessesery files like rom, firmware and vendor here:

try to see if google photos automatically backup your photos,
even if you root your phone you may not be able to recover all your photos or even none of them

Thanks for the reply!
I checked and my Google Photos is not configured to backup. My videos were deleted by the DJI app when I cleared Cache. So should I try rooting or give up? Will I only access the files if I was rooted before the accidental deletion?

I have not installed TWRP before I deleted the files. Does this mean I have no chance of getting the files?
Also, I can't find the unlock OEM option in my phone despite keeping it on for 7 days or tricking the date.
Two days ago my updater said new update available which was miui 10 but when I tried to download it... The updater says no updates available ( I cannot post the link to the image since I'm new member). Mine is currently 9.6.4.0 (OEICNFD). Do I need to do something to fix that or I just have to wait? Anyone facing same problem like me? Thanks for your attention.

Have a look here: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-mi-5-mi-6-mi-mix-mix-2-mi-note-2-miui-10-global-stable/
Just download the rom for the Redmi Note 5, and then install it manually. It's the Global version, btw. I did this with mine and it feels even more snappier. Nonetheless, there is some behaviour with the navigation bar, and perhaps some notifications won't arrive to your lockscreen because there are notification channels per app now. I highly recommend looking for those channels (just hold the notification for a few seconds and then tap on "All categories", and then config each option. If for some reason problems are still showing, perform a factory reset via Settings > Advanced settings > Backup and restore.
Hope you find this useful

In theory, you shouldn't lose any data. My recommendation, perform a backup using Google Drive (Settings > Additional settings > Backup and restore, and then choose Google backup, not MIUI's).
As for photos, videos, WhatsApp messages and stuff like that, my recommendation is to backup your WhatsApp chats with Google Drive, then set Flight Mode on and move each folder of the internal storage to a SD card. Only after having done this, remove your SD card and perform the update. It's your best choice so as not to lose any data.
After your phone is back on again, only remains moving back those folders from the SD card to the internal storage. Easy peasy

Greets all,
my Mate 20x came up that there was an update to EMUI 10 so I updated, all went well from what I saw, except now I cant install apks from dropbox, it comes up saying: "please download an app that can open this file". I cant download files from the play store and install, and I have made sure that install from unknown sources was enabled. I also made sure "files" app was set to allowed also. The update version is: 10.0.0.176, and no newer version is coming up. This is the Chinese version AL-00
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update, seems the only way I can install apps is by using HiSuite at the moment.

No I cant do anything with Dropbox, but I was able to use HiSuite to install apks. And i just got the update you were talking about, installing it now, maybe this will fix the issue with the apks installing from dropbox, cause as the prior user said, I dont want to factory reset and have to put everything back if its not going to work. There is another issue I noticed with the update also, If I go out of Wifi range I lose access to the internet, in other words the cell data doesnt kick in unless I turn off the mobile data and then turn it back on. So far very annoying update. Maybe this 185 can fix these. Here's hoping and trying.

Well the update didnt fix the dropbox issue, tapping on the file prompts the error. so the update didnt fix the problem. I guess when it gets to be a pain either I fix it, install through HiSuite, or factory reset.
Try installing apk from Files app.

After downloading it from dropbox to the internal storage, then using files does install the apk, but I dont know why it wont directly from dropbox.

thats what u was trying to tell you from the start! use the files app!
im guessing it has to do with system rights to install apk files. even es file explorer pro is not allowed to do it with all permissions given.

Hi!
I tried to remove a bunch of Xiaomi and Google bloatware on my Redmi Note 9 Pro. I folllowed the lines of https://www.allaboutxiaomi.com/how-to-remove-bloatware-without-root-on-your-xiaomi-redmi-device/ and removed what I thought would be inoffensive removals: Mi Video, Mi Sound, Mi Notes and stuff like that.
Now my phone boots to recovery, leaving the options of Wipe Data and Connect with MIAssistant. Tha latter does not work - I don't know why because I have a MI account.
Device is not unlocked.
Any help would be appreciated. Of course I would like NOT to erase the data.
Best,
benedict
Hello, I'm not 100% sure, but you could reflash the system with MiFlash and choose below you want to keep your data!
if you were unlocked, you could push adb the security center apk in TWRP, or adb sideload, but you can't you need it unlocked to do that.
Seems factory reset is the answer.
Is this the legit website?

I could launch the adb shell to uninstall apps, but if I understand correctly I can't do the same to install apps?

you didn't read all documentation about removing bloatware and just followed some kid random guide online, and now you will factory reset. The End of movie. if i were you after doing this i will unlock device to have control over it because as i wrote before about adb sideload pushing etc.
You're right. Thing is I looked a bit in the forums here but couldn't find a good guide.
Any idea though why MiAssistant doesn't work?
About unlocking: that required a data wipe so I was lazy to do it properly... My bad.
There's no place for lazy people when customizing device man, apps can be reinstalled Gstore saves history of them so it is easy to see last installed, music is on spotify or smth like that, images docs etc just transfer to laptop, Yes for unlocking device you will have to factory reset again. Miassistant never works i dont know what is it for XD as soon as i got my 9s i unlocked it and thats the end of movie full control over a device i bought with my money.

you cant, just wipe data = factory reset, and after that start again your phone.

Man.... get this clear you f*cked the device up, the only way is to factory reset which will delete all data. FULL PERIOD.

The truth is always harsh to accept. backup is made before doing something to the device, in your case your only way is to factory reset.
Can you reboot to Fastboot ?
If it ain't broken, don't repair it...
Sent from my joyeuse using XDA Labs
Yes I can reboot to fastboot.
Well, I do not know when or how but Whatsapp app is broken on my device! Just not starting anymore, I only get some force crash screen of about 1 second and that's it...
I have a Note 8T with latest EEA software 12.5.4.0 MIUI 12.5, rooted with Magisk, custom recovery (OrangeFox)
Funny story but enabling dual apps for Whatsapp, basically another user, I managed to start and use the app, as a secondary app because the base app is still dead!
Now, my question is:
How do I get Whatsapp to function normally again???
Things I tried:
1. clean cache and data - no fix
2. uninstall/ install app - no fix
3. enable miui optimizations - no fix
4. fix/ repair data partition in OrangeFox recovery - no fix
Is there anything else I could try in order to fix this issue? It might be somehow related with the user part of the data partition? But why only this app is affected then?
I'm just baffled by this turn... don't know what to do anymore...

try with :
uninstall/reboot/install
if still not work
go to : Data/system/dropbox
delete everything
open wsp and send the generated crash log (from that folder)
Well, tried twice uninstall/ install procedure... Same result...
Thank for this info. I'll try.

i said uninstall/!REBOOT!/install
when you reboot, the package manager will delete the app leftover
the app crash because there is some data left from a previous version
try deleting "com.whatsapp" folder from
/data/data/
and from
/user_de/0/
also whatsapp folder on internal storage
Holly mackerel!!!
You know how many times I rebooted this device???
But, now, it worked without deleting anything except the dropbox content you mentioned earlier!
It just went smooth, install, setup, restore backup and all without a glitch!
THX A BUNCH!!!
Anyway, I would really love to know how was this possible in the first place as I did nothing specially regarding this app... and found myself in this situation of not being able to use it anymore... why only this app? Was something some update maybe that broke something?
