twrp bootloop on raspberry pi 3 with lineage

Hey
I read a guide about android installation on RPI 3 device (cannot post the link because I am new member)
The tuturial was talk about Lineage 15.1 but it was very very slow OS and even the mouse didn't move for configure timezone and date
and I cannot do any step from the guide,
so I tried the 16.0.
As mention in the tuturial,
I want to install gapps so for that I enabled developer options, root access and local terminal.
after all these steps, the next step was to enter TWRP using rpi3-recovery.sh script
(Local terminal > su > rpi3-recovery.sh > reboot).
When the installation of the gapps was finish, the OS enter to TWRP bootloop.
I Read on the net about the command
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc
but when I try it I got "conv option disabled". I tried also to navigate "/system/xbin" before writing the above command but still failed.
gapps versions (two of them same problem):
arm 9.0 pico
arm 8.1 pico
What do I do wrong?
p.s
sorry about my broken english

Why don't you ask in the place where you got lineageOS from? Like https://forum.xda-developers.com/raspberry-pi/orig-development
And I don't think installing GApps can repair something that is broken without GApps.
And GApps version has to match ROM version. LineageOS 15.1 is android 8.1. Arm or arm64 depends on bittage of your OS, not necessarily of your processor.

Hi
actually, I didn't find this forum (your link you gave me)
second, apparently it is not a twrp bootloop.. There is a way to step out:
Q: How to boot out of TWRP recovery?
A: You can execute the same script in TWRP terminal (Advanced->Terminal) if you have boot and system partitions mounted (Mount->Boot & Mount->System):
Code:
rpi3-recovery.sh boot

[ROM] LINEAGEOS [Android 11] [OFFICIAL] [Nightly]

I'm not sure why no one has posted this on here yet. I see the unstable google drive linked Android 11 Lineage but not the official download links and instructions...
i run this rom on my daily driver.
here is the link:
https://download.lineageos.org/walleye
the instructions are what you should foolow as they know alot more than me about all this but they say to temp flash the recovery, that has never worked for me.
WARNING!!!
IT IS NOT RECOMENDED BY LINEAGE TO USE GAPPS, AS SOME OF THEM WILL OVERWRITE/REMOVE OPTIMIZED LINEAGEOS SYSTEM APPS, AND REDUCE SECURITY/STABILITY!
THE SYSTEM WORKS JUST FINE WITHOUT GAPPS BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THEM LIKE I DO HERE IS THE INSTRUCTIONS I FOLLOW:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. remove password on system
2. copy the downloaded system zip to sdcard
Google usb driver found here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
3. adb reboot-bootloader
google platform tools adb & fastboot found here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
4. fastboot boot [twrp]
do not allow modifications, do not change any settings and do not install twrp to recovery
Twrp found here: https://dl.twrp.me/walleye/
5. install [Lineage.zip]
sometimes you can sideload this pkg but others not so i just send it to the sdcard and install from there in twrp, ive had issues with usb 3.1 ports with system pgk but not with gapps.
6. reboot to bootloader and fastboot boot [twrp]
if you do not do step 6 the boot slot will not be correct for installing the gapps and will not be able to boot the system
7. adb sideload [gapps-core] and then adb sideload [addons] (without booting system before all gapps installed)
i get these from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/NikGapps-R/
i only do the core first, then i have a short batch file sideload all the addons i want from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/Addons-R/ choosing which ones i need because there is not always enough space.
the ones i sideload in order are named like this [NikGapps-Addon-11-*-signed.zip] below:
GBoard
Gmail
GoogleClock
GoogleContacts
GoogleDialer
GoogleMessages
GoogleCalculator
GoogleCalendar
GooglePhotos
Velvet
GoogleChrome
GoogleFi
GoogleTalkback
GoogleTTS
8. reboot system, and let boot up.
9. adb reboot-bootloader
enable usb debugging first
10. fastboot boot twrp
if you wanted to install twrp to system as recovery do it before magisk at this step.
11. adb sideload magisk.zip
magisk.zip is the magisk.apk, just rename the apk found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
12. reboot
If magisk doesn't seem to want to work at this step:
open app while online, reboot, test again, if still no:
adb install -g [magisk.apk]
did i do something wrong? miss something? want me to take this down? make this better?
any feedback is welcome as this is mainly because i've spent many hours trying to figure all this out so i hope it helps someone.

Oh! This is a duplicate. My apologies.
I'm not sure how to delete this. Also maybe they should post in the Walleye form instead of the other to help people find walleye related roms or rom info.
Whoever decided to put all walleye stuff with taimen just because they are both wahoo is dumb.
That's like saying let's put all the phone a with b just because some of it is the same. If they where the same then at least they would both be made by the same hardware manufacturer LG != HTC nor vice versa.

[ROM][OFFICIAL][Pie][Dipper][PORT]Ubuntu Touch port for Xiaomi Mi 8

View attachment 5376913
What is it? What is Ubuntu Touch?
Ubuntu Touch, as comes from naming, is Ubuntu managed to run on phone.
Well, Canonical abandoned it, so community organization, UBports, now develops, maintains, and ports UT to new devices.
And this is what the thread is about. The amount of devices able to run UT was 63(as written on website at the time of writing this post). But now it is 64 devices.
The 64th port to Xiaomi Mi 8.​So, lets talk now what works, and what is not(you will also be able to see that on website, as soon as merge request will be accepted).
​What works:
Actors​
Manual brightness(auto seems not supported by UT, idk)​
Notification LED​
Vibration​
Torchlight​
Camera​
Flashlight​
Photo​
Video​
Switch between front and rear cameras​
Cellular​
Carrier info​
Calls​
SMS​
Audio routings (switching between main speaker, and phone speakers)​
Volume control​
Misc
Battery percentage
Online charging(while phone is on, or in sleep/standby state)
UBports recovery
Network
WiFi(2.4GHz, 5GHz)
Bluetooth
Hotspot(partially, seems that 5G is not supported)
Flight Mode
Sensors
Fingerpring
GPS
Rotation
Touchscreen(ofc, otherwise I would write this post)
Sound
Microphone
Earphones
Loudspeaker
Volume Control
USB
ADB
MTP
Several things, are not tested, such as Wireless Display, NFC, SIM PIN Unlock, MMS, Dual SIM.
Non working features are Offline Charging, Auto-brightness, Proximity Sensor(you need to click the Power Button, that won't stop the call).
Big thanks to TheKit who helped me with the port.
TheKit's Gitlab and UBports forum profile.
Right now, config for UBports Installer is waiting approval of pull request, and merge request for devices.ubuntu-touch.io is still not approved, you will have to do everything manually. UBports Installer config PR finally merged, but only Global versions are supported, since firmware files that are flashed by Installer are for Global. If you do install, be sure to flash vendor and firmware packages for your variant after.
WARNING! YOU MUST HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! EVERY THING YOU DO, YOU DO ON YOUR RISK, IF YOU BRICKED DEVICE, THATS YOUR FAULT, NOT MY! I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR BRICKED DEVICE!
Preparations before installation.
Flash TWRP recovery
You need to download and flash stock firmware and vendor from Android 9, MIUI V11.0.6.0.PEAMIXM(be aware that this Vendor+Fw is for Global, if your Device is Chinese or Russian variant, or any other, flash vendor package according your phone variant). It is compressed into ZIP file, so you will have to flash it though TWRP. Do not use adb sideload, push file to any directory you want, and install it from phone.
Download boot.img, system.img, recovery.img from here.
In TWRP go to "Wipe" ==> "Format Data" ==> Type "yes" ==> Enter. Then go to Reboot ==> Recovery. After restarted. Again go to Wipe ==> Advanced Wipe, and select all partition except USB-OTG
Now we have two ways of installation, from TWRP, and from Fastboot.
TWRP
On PC:
Code:
$ adb push system.img /tmp
$ adb push boot.img /tmp/
Now go to "Install"
Get to /tmp/ directory
"Install Image"
Flash boot.img to Boot partition, system.img to System.
Then reboot to system.
If system works, reboot to TWRP again and push recovery.img to /tmp/, then flash it to Recovery partition.
Fastboot method:
Code:
#Simple as that
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
#Flash recovery only after you are sure system works.
Or you can just install a installable zip archive I've recently made. All my builds will be hosted on GitHub Releases on my repo. New builds will come by every new official OTA release. UBports recovery is not included, installation goes proceeds from TWRP, install just as simple as custom ROM installation. Btw, do you want me to add notch patches to system image, so it doesn't look awkward?
Note: this zip is not signed, so disable signature verification before installing, or installation will fail.
Optionally you can adjust your panel so it doesn't look weird. Rn idk how to move panel below the notch(display cutout, I hate Apple for that). It moves buttons in Panel below, and adjusts height of the panel. This repo will do everything for you. Just download it to device. And run apply-notch-hax.sh. It will automatically find device name, apply patches, and restart Unity.
Note: run the script as standard user, not root.
Note2: if you get bootloop, wipe system, format data, restart bootloader, flash everything again, but before rebooting to system try flashing SELinux permissiver. And don't flash Magisk, it's useless, and may destroy your system.
Device source: Gitlab
Kernel source: Gitlab
Gitlab CI build artifacts: Gitlab
Join Telegram support group if you need any help.
See all supported devices at official website.
P.S. Since you have to use fastboot, and UBports Installer uses fastboot, there may be some difficulties for Ryzen CPU users. I attached zip file with executable (.bat file). It will allow you use fastboot with USB 3.x + Ryzen. Unpack it. And run .bat file as admin. Reboot. Voila, fastboot works as should.
Linux users should either use another laptop with Intel CPU, or flash from Windows, or use USB 2.0 hub.
P.S.S. Ok, I managed to get GitHub CI to work, so now if any of you want to test fixes and new features, head to this GitHub repo, and download artifacts from "Make OTA images"(in Actions tab), and flash them using fastboot.

Amazing work! I've always wanted to port UBTouch to Mi 8 but I couldn't get WiFi and mobile data to work on my attempts. As my primary phone, I needed it to be online as much as possible. Really happy to be able to use it on our devices
I've noticed an issue (I haven't managed to recreate this however):
- The OS can't switch between audio outputs, for example I need to restart my phone to hear sounds from loudspeaker after making a phone call. Please let me know if there's a workaround for this issue.
I'll be looking out for more issues to report. Once again, thanks for this port it's amazing

No still not.

this amazing work. i have ran some x11 app on my phone,jt works. now i can say hava a pc in my pocket . one problem i found is system partion size too small (only 3g), this not enough if i want install more linux package lije chrome firefox

I updated download link, so if you have already flashed everything, I suggest you to flash a new recovery, as previous one, identified device as Mi MIX 3.

it is still complex for my level of knowledge to install this rom on my Mi 8 and it is with great joy that we have a port like this from Ubuntu Touch and that in the future it will be easier to install and maybe other ports as well as SailfishOS in the menu. Mi 8 great job Dev.

tried it out and worked great, glad to see something different, keep up the excellent work bro!

hey i was wondering about file system can we use f2fs ?
I tried installing apk files but getting error
Also notch fix gives me this error in terminal
EDIT: nevermind the apk i forgot to run anbox-tool install
EDIT2: nevermind notch fix i just pushed the file to downloads and run sh command

Amazing work! It is the fastest rom I have ever installed! The SIM PIN unlock works well and the offline charging partially (approximately, five minutes after connecting the charger). I hope NFC works, too. In the future, it would be nice if apply-notch-hax.sh was fixed (error, line 57). Anyway, thank you for porting and providing this rom!
For Waydroid support, there are some instructions here. To start the container service, use the following command:
Code:
sudo waydroid container start

How To Guide [Guide] Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 MIUI12/13 ROOT Step-by-step - Pass SafetyNet, Widevine L1

Everything you do, you do at your own risk. I'm not responsible for all damages, this can also lead to loss of warranty.
Hi,
Probably many of you know how to do a Magisk install without TWRP, but this guide is for people who don't know and don't want to mess things up.
I will try to show you step by step how to do it.
Many thanks to:
kdrag0n
topjohnwu
Leave them a nice feedback
!!! Before we start make sure your device is unlocked, if you don't know how to do it below is link to official Xiaomi guide !!!
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Requirement
Xiaomi Mi Flash ver. =>3-14-0 - Needed to install all adb drivers Download
ADB & Fastboot tools - Could be the one built into Mi Flash tool I'll use this to make it simple
Magisk =>24.2 - This software is base of our rooting process Download
SafetyNet Fix => 2.2.1 (Zygisk) - Needed to backdoor SafetyNet fail check, at the moment it is only working method for Mi Pad 5 Download Make sure you download the Zygisk version!
Boot.img - You can download from official MIUI website full flashable rom and separate boot.img file from there, or use my if your Miui version is China 13.0.5, EEA 13.0.3, Global 13.0.1
China 13.0.5​EEA 13.0.3​Global 13.0.1​​​Installation
To make it easier, Green color mean what you need to do on Tablet, Orange on PC
Unzip Mi Flash tool
Open folder and run XiaoMiFlash.exe, if window "Driver" won't pop-up click on the Driver tab and then "Install" button and close all windows.
Connect your tablet to computer, when your tablet ask how you want use USB, choose File Transfer/Android Auto
Copy to internal storage Magisk-v****.apk, safetynet-fix-v****.zip and boot.img
Open File Manager on your tablet find a folder where you copied all files, and install Magisk
Open Magisk app, and click on Install in section Magisk, then select "Select and Path a File", after that find your boot.img file and click on it
Click "LET'S GO" button on the right side and wait until process will be finished
On your computer in the tablet's storage window, go to the file specified in the application probably /Download/magisk_patched-*****
Copy this file to a subfolder of Mi Flash on your computer, exactly to MiFlash2020-3-14-0\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Android and change the name of this file to boot.img
Open PowerShell/Windows Terminal in this folder (Hold Shift + Right click -> Open PowerShell window here)
Make sure your tablet have enabled USB debugging in Developer options Setting -> Additional settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging
Turn off your tablet, then hold down Power and VOL- until the screen lights up, then release power button, if Fastboot appears, everything went fine
Go back to your Terminal window and type to check if your computer see your tablet
Code:
./fastboot.exe devices
If you see answer "******** fastboot" it mean there is communication between PC and Tablet
Next type this command to flash patched boot image
Code:
./fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
Next type this command to reboot your device
Code:
./fastboot.exe reboot
Restart can take a longer time than normal
Open Magisk app and check status of Magisk, if you see for exaple "Installed 24.2 (24200)" everything went fine
Open Settings in right corner of app and in section App click on Hide the Magisk app then type name for hidden app, it will ask to install new app so do it
Open again Magisk app and open Settings in section Magisk enable Zygisk (Beta) and Enforce DenyList
Click on Configure DenyList than click on three dots in right corner and uncheck Show system apps
Search for all the apps in the list below and check them. It is important to click on their name to see all modules, once you have done this click on the box to activate all of them
Code:
Google
Google Assistant (I have two)
Google Pay
Google Play services
Google Play Store
After that reboot your tablet, and open again Magisk app
On the bottom click on Modules
Click on Install from storage button and find file safetynet-fix-v*******.zip, than click on it
After that reboot your device one more time
After reboot open Android Settings go to Apps and Unhide system services than find and clear all data of Google Play services and Google Play Store
Reboot tablet last time
If you have reached this point it means that everything has gone correctly, probably for about 3 hours you will still not be able to install Netflix and some banking applications but after this time everything will be back to normal, this is because Google's servers have detected that Magisk has been installed but that the application has been changed and Zygisk has been enabled so at the next check it notices that everything is Ok and gives access back.
Quick explaination what happend here:
Magisk has been installed and device is Rooted
The application has been changed and hidden
Zygisk has been activated and hidden from Google services
SafetyNet-fix was installed, which restores the functionality of SafetyNet and Widevine L1, which is blocked after the installation of Magisk and unlocked Bootloader

Hello,
(I use google translate).
Thanks for your method. Before using it, I would like to ask you a few questions.
I have already rooted a few devices (mipad 1, mi phone, htc...) with my macbook and twrp.
The adb files are already installed on my mac.
1) once the pad 5 is rooted, should I, like on my phone, patch the new boot.img file with each update?
2) Could I install the twrp application afterwards to be able to do a complete backup of the system and possibly install a version of lineageos later?
3) Is there a version of miflash unlock tool for mac os x?
4) Should I register or register on the xioami site before unlocking the boot?
Thank you in advance for your method and your answers.

Hi Nux01,
1. Unfortunately yes, TWRP isn't supported for Pad 5 yet.
2. It won't work, TWRP app is only making a request to TWRP custom recovery, until it doesn't exist you can't even install custom ROM
3. It is, but i didn't test it yet on Pad 5, and I don't know if it will work with new decides because last release is from 20.07.2020.
https://github.com/francescotescari/XiaoMiToolV2/releases
4. Yes, you need Xiaomi account, also your device has to be logged in, and registered to unlock, Xiaomi made complete guide how to do this, link is on the top of this post.

Hello,
Thank you for your quick reply.
The latest version of Mitool does not work. On the other hand, with regard to version 20.7.21, it's OK.
What does it mean: "I do not know if it will work with new decides".
And to unlock the bootloader, I have to use the Xiaomitool V2 application?
Thanks again.

I mean it's quite old release so it may not work with current unlock bootloader process on new devices like a Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi Pad 5 etc. I can't promise it won't brick your device, only confirmed method is by official Xiaomi tool.

Thank you
I'll wait a little bit before rooting my tablet.
Have a nice day.

Followed the instruction, worked like a charm. Although I had unknown "chinese sings" errors with the driver install it worked. By the way there is a newer version of the flashing tool.
Thanks for the effort of writing this down!

Hello,
I just managed to unlock the bootloader of my tablet "Pad 5".
I tried under Mac and Linux with Xiaomitool V2 without success (error 20036 and 20045).
I also tried with VirtualBox who did not recognize the tablet.
I succeeded with VMware and Windows 7 by testing different drivers and it worked.
I just root the tablet with Magisk.
On the other hand, is there the equivalent of TWRP to make a complete system backup. Apart from Titanium and MyBackup.
Thanks for your help.

thanks dude.
didn't try this yet, just wondering.
can't i just flash recovery and then flash magisk.apk?
thanks

You can update, but after that you need root again but with boot.img from 13.0.2

How to get the boot.img 13.0.2? I checked the 3GB Firmware and only found vendor_boot.img. Is it the same thing?

Never mind. I got the boot.img from here: https://miuirom.org/tablets/xiaomi-pad-5

Hey there.
I have done everything above and i MIGHT have some problem. The problem with my problem is that its not really reproducable easily even for me.... Weird, I know!
Lets go into details:
Issue description: When I reboot my tablet it goes into "MIUI Recovery" window, on which I am offered to reboot the device or clean.... And when I reboot it goes back to the recovery screen again. Like a loop-hole.
....
But then if I leave it untouched for several minutes it reboots itself and launches the system properly finally...
When did it start: It first started after I performed this step:
24. Click on Install from storage button and find file safetynet-fix-v*******.zip, than click on it
25. After that reboot your device one more time
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I finally landed in the system I of course continued and performed further steps. After another reboot in step 27 the same thing happened but much, much longer.
I thought it somehow self fixed and works - once I am in the system. Right? So I did a reboot to test it. And no... recovery screen again for another 20 or so minutes until finally MIUI loaded fully.
Now I am afraid to turn off / reboot my tablet... I am afraid it might never finish booting next time.
Any ideas whats wrong and how to fix this weird and irregular behaviour?
My details:
Device: Xiaomi Pad 5 6/256gb
Original system was Chinese. I have reinstalled to Global one a version ago.
MIUI version currently running: 13.0.3(RKXMIXM)
Android version: 11 RKQ1.200826.002
Magisk version: 25.1 (25100) (32)
Magisk Modules: Universal SafetyNet Fix v2.2.1 (yes I made sure to download around Zygisk section)
Anything else I shall provide?

Issue description: When I reboot my tablet it goes into "MIUI Recovery" window, on which I am offered to reboot the device or clean.... And when I reboot it goes back to the recovery screen again. Like a loop-hole.
....
But then if I leave it untouched for several minutes it reboots itself and launches the system properly finally...
When did it start: It first started after I performed this step:
When I finally landed in the system I of course continued and performed further steps. After another reboot in step 27 the same thing happened but much, much longer.
I thought it somehow self fixed and works - once I am in the system. Right? So I did a reboot to test it. And no... recovery screen again for another 20 or so minutes until finally MIUI loaded fully.
Now I am afraid to turn off / reboot my tablet... I am afraid it might never finish booting next time.
Any ideas whats wrong and how to fix this weird and irregular behaviour?
My details:
Device: Xiaomi Pad 5 6/256gb
Original system was Chinese. I have reinstalled to Global one a version ago.
MIUI version currently running: 13.0.3(RKXMIXM)
Android version: 11 RKQ1.200826.002

Anything else I shall provide?

I also have this module installed without problems, as there is no recovey for Pad5, it is a good idea to install in magisk the module Magisk Bootloop Protector, which serves exactly to prevent what you are afraid that happen with your tablet

Question Problems with the connectivity on Poco F3 LineageOS + Magisk

I using my Poco F3 since a few month with lineageOS and I'm quite happy. The only problem: Wify and mobile data. Most of the time there is an exclamation mark in the topline on the icons for wify and mobile data.
I tried all the normal stuff:
– reboot the mobile phone (which sometimes really works)
– reboot thr router
– check the settings
– swap the sim cards (because sometimes I was only able to call somebody with one of the sim cards
With the last update of lineageOS it seems that the sim cards work again properly for calls, but not for mobile data.
Despite the exclamation marks surfing und emails works fine. I just can't synchronise my calendar via DAVdroid.
Any hint is appreciated.

are you using the recommended firmware version?
i had some issues with sounds with newer firmware versions

Good question.
I didn't change the firmware. How can I check, which version is runing on my device?

Idk how you'd check the firmware version but you could install the latest firmware for your region regardless.
Or if LineageOS recommends a specific FW version, install that instead.
Xiaomifirmware.com is one place where you can find official MIUI ROM versions and Firmware (/vendor).
You can just install it in Recovery, install itself takes a couple of seconds since Firmware is around 100 MB.

Isn't there an official site to download the firmware?

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com is a reputable source for official Xiaomi FW and ROMs.
Xiaomi do have a website where you can DL ROMs but it's bad.

Perfect, thx a lot. I will try,if it works. Keep fingers crossed ;-D

Sorry, I don't get any further. I only find complete Roms with 3.1 GB and more. But not a vendor with the code POCO F3 Global - V13.0.3.0.SKHMIXM as mentioned on the website of Lineageos.org (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/alioth/fw_update). Even the direct link downloads a complete Rom.
And can I install the vendor with my linux computer or should I switch windows and the mi-tool as mentioned on some websites?
Thanks for your help.

Okay, I'm a little bit further. As far as I understood it. I download the whole Rom but install just a few parts via adb. Following the instructions here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/alioth/fw_update
I should install the payload-dumper-go to unpack the zip-file of the ROM. But I don't know how to start the programm
I downloaded it from github for Linux, but I don't know how to get any further.

You're right. I checked out that website and those links are indeed full Recovery MIUI ROMs, not just firmware.
Those instructions show you how to manually flash just the firmware from a ROM.zip
However, you don't need to do that. Here is a link to just the firmware for that exact ROM:

v13.0.3 seems rather old to me, but if it's their recommendation, then I guess go ahead. After all you simply want these problems to go away.
How to flash:
Simply boot into Recovery and do ADB Sideload
"adb sideload firmware.zip"
If you want to use the Payload Dumper anyway:
In your Linux Machine, open the Payload Dumper folder,
right-click an empty space in the folder, click "Open in Terminal",
type "payload-dumper-go -o . " and drag & drop the MIUI_ROM.zip into the Terminal (this will autofill the path to that ROM),
Hit Enter.
Then, open the created folder where all the extracted partition-images are. Open that folder in Terminal, and do the fastboot commands listed on the LineageOS-website that you linked to me.

Great thanks a lot for your help. New stuff to learn – that's great.
Unfortunately I figured out that the reason for the problems could be a wrong setting in my AFWall+. I will double check that and if it's not the reason, I will follow your instructions. Thanks a lot for your work – awesome.

heres the firmware archive,no need for full rom and fastboot commands
