[ROM][11.0][DRG_Sprout] PixelPlusUI [OFFICIAL] [Eleven][AOSP]

[Pace123]

Hey @sourav24071999 ,
I was using v3.9 from the past few days, and everything was working fine until yesterday
When I tried to boot up the device in morning, it is stuck at "android one" logo and I am not even able to login in recovery or fastboot mode
Also, the logo screen comes after various attempts to boot up, it does not come up in one attempt, it feels like the phone is dead but sometimes the android logo boots up
I had a hardware check, everything is fine on the hardware front, what can i do?

Do you get the bootloader unlocked warning when the phone starts?

Do you get the bootloader unlocked warning when the phone starts?

yes, i got that for around 1-2 seconds and after that android one logo showed up, the phone is stuck on that screen

It looks like your emmc has died. It's a very common problem with some batches of this phone.

so is it like I will need to replace the whole motherboard of the phone :/ ?

Probably yeah, Can you disassemble the phone?

You should first disconnect and reconnect the battery and try to turn the phone on. If it still doesn't work, Go into edl mode and flash stock Oreo or pie firmware using Emergency download mode in OST LA tool crack.

are there any steps to go into EDL mode? could you link some here?

First disconnect and reconnect the battery and short these points on the motherboard with tweezers and connect the usb cable. You should now see a device on device manager which means you entered edl mode

Really love the ROM, probably the fastest, most comfortable to use custom OS for X6.

My only gripe with it is that gApps are included by default, and that the ROM starts downloading updates over 4G network as soon as initial (offline) setup is over.

This agressive autoupdate policy of google has long become a burden in stock roms. Is there any way to disable google-initiated app and system autoupdate in this PixelPlus? Also, what google packages can be safely removed via adb to debloat the device and can I replace PixelLauncher with something else without breaking everything?

Also, when the OS loads for the first time, it encrypts all of the internal storage data. While useful, it prevents TWRP from even taking backups again. Any way around it?

you need to patch dm-verity and install another vendor that doesn`t have forceencrypt enabled to remove encryption

Thanks! Can I use the

Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disabler?​

to remove encryption? Also, will I be able to re-encrypt it afterwards?

 

[ardwivedi16]

It likely should work but I'm not 100% sure

it kinda works, but the initialsetup suddenly starts demanding fingerprint screen lock without option to skip

It's because you have triggered FRP. Use your Google account to bypass that

I'd kind of prefer it to be proper from the start without triggering anything. Is there any guide on how to patch dm-verity and remove the forceencrypt from the vendor? Does it involve rebuilding the rom from the ground up?

Would dmverity disable instructions from magisk installation guide work?

So, You don't want any Google services?

So, You don't want any Google services?

Just the basics, like in openGapps nano package. I'm fine with minimal Google services setup, though I was planning on replacing the Google file manager and gallery with F-droid alternatives too (by deleting them with ADB, sideloading alternatives after)
