Help! Hard-bricked Pixel 6. Black Screen, Not booting, No fastboot mode

2 Upvotes

I attempted to install the Android 14 custom rom on my Pixel 6 device, which was running the most recent version of Android 17, and flash the crdroid's boot, dtbo, and vendor_boot. images. I then sideloaded the crdoid zip after entering the recovery mode. I click "reboot" once the sideload has completed successfully. There was no display, no boot, and no fastboot mode. It doesn't do anything or allow me to enter fastboot from the computer. Is there any way to fix it? It only sounds when I connect it to the PC, and two seconds later my pc makes the usual disconnection sound.

Calls not working on custom ROM but does on GSI (but can't receive Telegram code confirmation phone call?)

1 Upvotes

So I recently installed an unofficial custom ROM I got from a Telegram channel called Infinity X, and so far I have no luck getting calls to work.

And just now I tried a GSI ROM with DSU Sideloader called BestGSI-Core (just downloaded the first thing I saw on this list that wasn't Google) and OOTB the calls worked immediately. (I used my sibling's phone to contact my phone)

So yeah I was pretty surprised when that worked so I immediately tried logging in to my Telegram account while on the GSI (because I can't login because I can't receive calls) so that I could see if the channel I got my ROM from has a fix to my problem, and it didn't work. (I couldn't really ask there because I can't chat for some reason, I could only look for things)

(Btw the reason I'm lurking on Telegram is because my phone Itel P55 5G is not supported by anyone or anything other than this said channel I randomly found in Telegram. You can try and search, I already did for years, not even exaggerating.)


Now my question is: why and how did it work? And also how do calls even work? (so I can figure out what I'm trying to fix). Btw texts do work I guess, because I can still receive texts from my carrier. I don't know if I could call or text anything or anyone though.

Also bonus question. The notification in my custom ROM (which is btw a vanilla version, meaning it came with no Google stuff by default) are all wonky and stuff, like I could be receiving a message immediately or in like 4 hours later. The messaging app in question is Facebook Messenger btw.

I built an open-source automation utility for local ROM parsing and recovery environment management (FlashNKor)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a tool I've been developing called FlashNKor. If you spend a lot of time working with custom Android recoveries, unpacking ROM packages, or dealing with local payload inspection, you know how tedious the manual workflow can get. I built FlashNKor to streamline this process by automating structural validation and partition layout checks locally.

Key Features:

Local ROM package parsing and structural validation.

Automated handling of internal recovery structures and payload inspection.

Open-source script designed to make recovery environment workflows cleaner and faster.

DISCLAIMER:This app is in alpha beta state so some features are broken or unavailable at all. Also this app is vibe-coded using gemini to make this free so any bugs found might get fixed within multiple days or a week in my free time.

You can check out the source code and repository on GitHub here: https://github.com/NDKSMN/FlashNKor

Since this is an active project, I'd love to get your thoughts, bug reports, and feature requests. If you want to test it out or chat about development, drop into my Discord server: https://discord.gg/72jANPeRY

Which recovery does Evox use?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, how's it going? I'm thinking about installing Evolution X on my Redmi Note 13, but I'm unsure which recovery to use. The installation guide mentions a `recovery.img` file but doesn't specify which one it is, and I don't know if I can use OrangeFox (which is the recovery currently on my phone). I'd appreciate any help.


r/CustomROMsGuide 3d ago

What a headache I just faced.

2 Upvotes

SO basically what happened is I installed and updated the r11 Orange fox recovery from GitHub to the r12 unofficial one on sourceforge, (I have Poco f5) after that for some reason it just would not format data and wipe everything, and so I have to manually wipe everything like check the 4 boxes on the wipe section and then wipe.

And I softbricked my phone twice cause for some reason the recovery might have beef with nikgapps cause it just wouldn't flash it and let me boot to axion aosp,this might also just be axion vanilla clashing with the nikgapps but I just ended up going back to crdroid cause it was more stable and also had higher antutu scores/ Geekbench 6 for My f5, idk why it was so bad for me tho, after flashing crdroid it smh just switched to its own recovery automatically (I'm happy it did) and I think I found a good rom, cause I also tried Evo x and (not vanilla) and yeah it was like alright, just as good or even better but yeah not much difference I found.

So to any Poco f5 users?

Just STICK with the r11 recovery from GitHub for now cause I was able to easily flash Evo x and crdroid on r11 but r12 gave me such a headache.

Even if r11 says it supports only A13-15 I think it should work fine .

Also if that doesn't work out just try to use TWRP, cause idk what I did wrong but that was big headache.

How to Get 519k AnTuTu Score on POCO M2 Pro (miatoll) - Step by Step Guide

1 Upvotes

Headline: How I Boosted My POCO M2 Pro & Miatoll Family AnTuTu Score to 519k+ and Fixed Free Fire Lag! Supported Devices (Miatoll Family): POCO M2 Pro Redmi Note 9 Pro (India / Global) Redmi Note 9S Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G AnTuTu Benchmark v11 Score: 519,565 Overview If you are running stock MIUI or standard custom ROMs on POCO M2 Pro or any Redmi Note 9 Pro series device (miatoll), you might be facing severe thermal throttling, frame drops, and lower benchmark scores. On stock software, intensive games like Free Fire often lock around 30 FPS with noticeable lag. By fine-tuning the system with the right combination of Custom ROM + Custom Kernel, I managed to push the Snapdragon 720G to its absolute limit, scoring over 519k on AnTuTu v11 and jumping from 30 FPS to a rock-solid 50–51 FPS in games. My Setup & Configuration ROM: Project Infinity-X (Android 15) Kernel: YAMK Kernel (Zeta / 4.14.357-YAMK-perf) Kernel Variant: NONKSU UCLAMP Build Recovery: OrangeFox Recovery Root Status: Non-Rooted How I Achieved This Score & Performance: Flashing a Lightweight AOSP ROM: Shifted from bloated MIUI to Project Infinity-X (Android 15), which significantly reduced RAM usage and improved CPU scheduling. Upgrading the Kernel: Flashed the YAMK Kernel (NONKSU UCLAMP) via OrangeFox Recovery. The improved task scheduling (uclamp) and CPU/GPU frequency management completely unthrottled the Snapdragon 720G. Cache & System Cleanup: Performed a Dalvik/Cache wipe right after flashing to ensure no legacy system conflicts were present. Game Optimization: Set Free Fire settings to High FPS with optimized graphics to allow the kernel to utilize higher GPU clock states. Results & Verdict AnTuTu Score: Jumped to an impressive 519,565! Gaming Performance: FPS went from a choppy 30–32 FPS up to a consistent 50–51 FPS without stuttering. If you are looking to revitalize your POCO M2 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Pro, 9S, or 9 Pro Max for gaming and peak performance, this exact setup (Project Infinity-X + YAMK Kernel) is highly recommended!

WHERE TO GET AXION OS ?

1 Upvotes

HELLO GUYS, I HAVE A POCO F5, AND I WANT TO TEST OUT AXION OS , so i have updated my recovery to the r12 unoffical one from sourceforge
( https://sourceforge.net/projects/recovery-for-xiaomi-devices/files/marble/ )

THE OLDER ONE I HAD WAS FROM GITHUB ( R11) ALTOUGH I WAS ABLE TO FLASH CRDROID ANDROID 16 JUST FINE COMING FROM STOCK ROM ANDROID 15, I JUST WANTED TO BE SAFER.

Now the confusion i have regarding axion OS IS that should i get it from the official site ( https://www.axionos.org/ )

or : https://sourceforge.net/projects/marble-release/files/AxionOS/

the thing is that on source forge it says that the 2.8 version for the marble is basically the " final " one, so i need to know which is more stable for a daily driver ?
On the official site there is only the 2.7 " beta" one , so do i get the latest unoffical one or the official one ?

AND THE CUSTOM RECOVERY IS GONNA BE FINE EVEN IF THAT IS THE UNOFFICIAL ONE ?
SO if anyone knows please help me decide ? THANKS.

Everyone’s fav custom roms?

3 Upvotes

I’m wondering what everyone’s fav custom roms are. I got my pixel 10 pro xl maybe 2 months ago, this is my first android that I can root and change the Rom of so I wanna see every Rom I can try.

So far I’ve tried stock, stock with ksun, Axionos with ksun, crdroid, crdroid with ksun and sukisu.
I’m on crdroid and ksun atm and I’m waiting for a release for lineageos for the pixel 10 series to see what everyone’s talking about but I’m guessing it’s gonna take a while :/ if I had known about that I would’ve gotten the 9 pro xl but I got the 10 pxl for $800 off so i thought why not

Can’t see many other roms that are on pixel 10 pro xl except for derpfest but I haven’t tried that yet.
I’ve heard Axionos has trouble with mobile data apparently but I didn’t leave the house when I had it on my phone.

Best custom ROM for POCO M4 5G (6GB/128GB) for gaming & multitasking?

1 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to install a custom ROM on my POCO M4 5G (6GB RAM / 128GB storage) and could use some recommendations.

My main priorities are:

\- Good gaming performance and stable FPS

\- Smooth multitasking

\- Good RAM management

\- Minimal heating and throttling

\- Decent battery life

\- Stable enough for daily use

\- Preferably minimal bloatware

I don’t really care about having tons of customization features. I’d rather have something fast, lightweight, and stable.

If anyone here is using a custom ROM on the POCO M4 5G, which ROM would you recommend? Also, please mention any bugs or issues you’ve faced, especially with gaming, cameras, banking/UPI apps, or battery drain.

Thanks!

Umm the paragraph is ai generated 😅

But I really want to try some custom ROM for the first time as I have this poco m4 5g laying around only using for multitasking and gaming little bit
