    Android Screwed up my phone, need help.

    Finally managed to fix it...and chatgpt helped a lot. I used this program - EDL Flasher and ran this command - sudo python3 edl qfil rawprogram0.xml patch0.xml /path/to/images/folder/ --loader=prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf ChatGPT helped a lot, but it wasn't always right. And when it was...

    Android Screwed up my phone, need help.

    I was on Android 11, which has dynamic partitions, and I stupidly flashed Android 8, which screwed up the storage. I can boot into the OS - Android 8, but theres no IMEI, and no Wifi MAC. I have stock recovery, but there's no space on the phone, because the partitions are screwed up, so I...

    Android Screwed up my phone, need help.

    Thanks for reintroducing me to AI. I've only used chatgpt a couple of times before today, but having a conversation with it about how to fix my phone was a revelation. It walked me through all the steps, suggested alternatives when things didn't work, and told me if different file extensions...

    Android Screwed up my phone, need help.

    I'd tried most of that all of already. Tried it again right now, but it didn't work. :banghead: But it took me a couple of hours to run through all the steps Chat GPT listed in a second.

    Android Screwed up my phone, need help.

    I have a spare MI A2, and I'm planning on using it for an exchange for a tablet. So, I wanted to get it running a stock ROM again. But I messed up. I was running Calyx OS, and wanted to get back to stock. Calyx OS was Android 11 based. So, I flashed...

    We have 2 cats and a dog. We love them to bits. I can't find any recent pictures on my PC, but here are some photos and videos from when they were younger. Some more recent pics.

    Want a wireless mouse for about Rs.2000

    Thanks for the replies. I got the mouse a few minutes back. I like it's size and in hand feel. I prefer it's shape to the MX518's. But I prefer the way the MX518 buttons clicked. About the rechargeable battery, I'll just have to wait and see now. Hopefully it'll work with the rechargeable...

    Want a wireless mouse for about Rs.2000

    How long do the batteries last? Is it easy to get the cover off to change them?

    Want a wireless mouse for about Rs.2000

    I've been using a Logitech MX518 for about 15 years now, and it still works well (till a few weeks back) and looks great. But, I think it might finally be beginning to die off. It stops working sometimes, and I need to unplug and plug it in to get it working again. It's also giving scrolling...

    Any Extreme Privacy Enthusiasts Here? Share your setup.

    Great write up. I'm using Calyx OS on my Mi A2. I really want a KDE Plasma phone, but it looks like that project is dead. Debian on all my machines. Firefox with ublock as my browser on all devices. Along with multi-account containers so that my tabs can't spy on each other. Got a Raspberry...

    5600x running at 96C

    Post some pictures of your computer. It looks like your airflow is restricted causing the high temps. 60 degrees plus at idle is very high. How have you installed your cabinet fans? How many are pulling air in, and how many are pushing air out? Who installed your cooler? How much, and which...
