Hello
I am complete new to the "custom ROM for mobile phones" business.
But i am familiar with Linux based Satellite Receivers where you
also can flash custom ROMS to enhance the functionality.
Or in other words - i know what bricked means.
Anyway what i have done so far:
I have an unlocked Bootloader on my Mi A3.
1st time (non permanent) flash of TWRP-3.3.1-2 into recovery for
a full backup of my phone to Sd-Card.
An encounter with Bootloop made
Now i want to make TWRP permament on both partitions.
But, after flashing TWRP into recovery again, i recognizing that
the "Unmodified System Partition" screen is not apearing anymore.
After my 1st twrp flash, twrp showed me a screen where something
about "Keep System Read only" was explained.
With a slider "Swipe to Allow Modifications".
This screen is not more apearing anymore.
Is this mandatory to go on ?
My goal is to have twrp, magisk and lineageos on my phone.
Last but not least i want to say:
A fantastic source of informations here but overwhelming btw. *g*
* Edit *
32 Views but no answers this could mean that my concern is not clear ?
After entering to twrp on my phone for the first time i saw this screen here
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As i explained above, i only wanted to make a backup from my phone
as a fallback if something goes wrong afterwards.
Due to this i pressed ´Keep Read Only´
Don´t know if the ´Never show this...´ was flaged
My thoughts was:
Keep Read Only is okay for now/backup.
And if necessary i can Swipe for modification next time.
My concern is the screen will not showing again.
In case of i HAVE to swipe to make modifications for the next steps,
what i have to do now that this screen will show up again
that i can make the f*ckn swipe ? :angel:
Thank you
Open twrp, goto mount, there's an option for mount read-only system.

Hello
I would like my Android device encrypted, as it contains sensitive data. I'm currently on cm-9.0.0-rc1-tinystream-hephappy-p500 (RC1-Rev.B). Now, here is what happened:
- To encrypt internal
I went to Security in System Settings and touched "Encrypt Device". It gave some confirmations and I've accepted them however, now I'm kind of stuck on this screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My first thought was "it is encrypting". But after hours of waiting, I wanted to check if it's done already. So I clicked the power-button once (just to unlock) and it asked for my password. I've entered it and it just went into my normal launcher. I've checked if anything had changed and no, my device has not been encrypted. Any logs somewhere? Any ideas what could have caused the problem?
- To encrypt SDcard
I did some research and didn't find something perfectly for my needs. Anyone has any idea on how to encrypt an SD card to properly work together with Android?
Note: I am using LINK2SD.
Thanks for your help
Another question that actually has nothing to do with my previous post that I post here because it's not worth a new thread: every time I plug in my phone into the charger, it boots automaticly. I don't want that, my previous build of CM9 did just recharge without booting, something I prefer. Any way to configure that?
Another question I want to add to the this thread: is it possible to combine a password lock and a slide lockscreen? Like when I encrypt the phone to enter a password to decrypt it again and then just use the normal slide lockscreen to unlock it each time after the decryption?
One last question: is there any way to encrypt the SQL database in Android? As it contains sensitive data... I've read something about SQLCipher but it doesn't get to work (any help would be appreciated).

And thumsup if this worked for you people too,let me know in coments..
Thank you, installed it on v37. Works good for me. No visible changes, now checking battery usage
every time i try to install, it's always failed.. why??:crying:
Anybody know how to remove this? For some reason it lags big time on my Note
Edit:
Never mind, found the script to remove it *should've read the whole thread*
I don't know its a virus or what but suddenly my phone was not responding. I had a doubt that it was a virus so I decided to wipe everything but my recovery also stopped working.
How can I solve this ?
What ROM are you using?I suggest flashing a new ROM This time wipe everything except SDcard if it fails then wipe SDcard too.
nothing is working :/ i tried adb and tried to mount the system but it is failing. tried to wipe through twrp nothing working.
update twrp to 3.0.0 but still same
Now I have done "fastboot erase system" now my os is not starting and i am unable to flash another through adb
Please Any suggestion ?
anyone ?
if u erased system partition then os wont start as u have erased os files. Now the best thing to do is wipe all partitions from twrp. download a new custom rom and flash it through twrp. if u were using stock rom and want it u may get that from forums too. if u have a working nandroid backup ( which i feel u dont have) of previous rom u may try that
i can't format or wipe or do anything from my twrp.
EDIT: you can see it in the video

Whether the filter edits your profanities or not, your intention to swear is clear and unacceptable here.

Keep posting your issues within this thread and hopefully someone will help you.
We don't need multiple threads for every issue you progressively find yourself in.
It also makes it harder for someone to help you, if you're constantly creating a new thread for each new issue.

Hi,
using the Hisense A5. A family member was using the phone and put in a passcode that they forgot.
I am unable to get far enough into the phone to enable USB Debugging.
I am able to get the phone into recovery mode (using power-on, volume down). which is the "Vision" recovery system.

}
I cannot speak or read simplified chinese. Because the Hisense A5 has an eInk screen, I was able to scan the screens and upload it to an OCR site that could convert the image into characters. Then I could use google translate.
Anyway. I chose the first option which is "Recovery".
The screen I get is the following.
Using google translate. I can make out that the first choice is "Reboot", second choice is "Delete user data" and the third choice is "Update system".
I have tried the "Delete user data", and I can seem to make it work. But after the phone reboots, the passcode is still there.
The only other possibility I have is the third option which is "Update System". If I choose that I get the following option.
As you can see, the only thing I am able to do is to get the recovery system to to somehow load the file "update.zip".
I have tried the commercial passcode remover iMyPhone, but it didn't work.
If someone had some ideas, I would really appreaciate them. I am very much stuck right now.
If you don't mind losing data then you can simply reflash your device.

but it does not work. when i try to boot in to the system it goes into an infinite loading screen. please HELP (I used google translator because my english sucks)
@Boyko99
Either boot-loader broken or Android system corrupted. Re-flash Stock ROM.
I don't know if my answer came to you so I'll rewrite it

@Boyko99
Because you avoided to name phone's brand/model in this thread's title you can't really get advised.
Anyway:
Assumed these requirements
got fulfilled, the USB-driver suitable to your phone is installed on PC,
then the basic steps to perform are
1) Unlock phone's boot-loader, if not done yet
2) flash the ROM
@jwoegerbauer
I can't start the phone so I don't know how to do it I'm stuck in twrp because if I try to turn it on it goes into a loop
@Boyko99
My POV:
This is the price that people who think they must improve (?) phone's Android, will say put up a better (?) ROM / Recovery than that what gets pre-installed by OEM/Carrier ( in their R&D department there are certainly no idiots sitting around ), pay.
@jwoegerbauer
i have a note 3 its the worts rom of all
