Question I can't upgrade to Android 12, or even to the latest version of Android 11. - Realme GT

I have to admit, I'm pretty confused and a bit tired... nothing is working for me as in other phones and I can't seem to find any reliable info how to tackle my problems :/
I have the RMX2202 model in the 8/128 GB version.
My end goal is to have Android 12 and from what I read, I need the latest Android 11 update first for that. Only, the system shows me that the version I have (RMX2202_11_A.13) is already the latest, and from what I look on the internet, A.16 is already available.
I even downloaded a zip with both the OS version A.16 and the Android 12 beta, but when I try to install either of them, it shows me "Verification failed. Package incompatible with your system."
I also tried booting the phone in safe mode, because I saw that people on YT had an option to install from a file there.... but I don't have it. I can only do Wipe, or Reboot.
Please help :c
PS.: This phone is from a major chain store in Poland, so I'm assuming it is the Global version.

Welcome to XDA
Consider yourself lucky.
Android 11 and 12 are a mess.
Android 10 is still relatively functional and usable.
Rule #1 - If your device firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.

Thank you for the welcoming msg
But just one thing, I said that I have RMX2202_11_A.13 on my phone right now, so I'm already on the Android 11, but just not on the latest update of it.
And I understand your point, but I'd still want to try Android 12, and even root this phone in the future.
I appreciate your warnings, but these are my needs right now and I'd very much like to know how and if I can do it at all on this phone

Android 12 beta was only for firmware a09.

Have the exact same issues! Can't do anything, I think it might be that I choose to unlock the bootloader via dev option but not sure, have you done that as well? I cant boot in to real recovery (only have the same option as you mentioned, wipe,reboot,turn of)
Can someone help us or point us in the right direction on how we can at least sideload an update somehow? No root, stock ROM.

It works for me! I needed to put the slider back from "unlock bootloader" and restart the phone then I got it! Thank you very much!

Hello,
I have the exact same issue, I am stuck in RMX2202_11_A.13
I tried VPN, I tried re-enabling all user-disabled apps but nothing seems to work.
I have a global phone with global rom but I would like to get at least some update.

The update by VPN worked for me but I still dont have the Normal recovery, only partial. The is a bit weird to me.

Needing new firmware for Southern Telecom SmartTab Tablet...

Ive got an android tablet that is having trouble after rooting with kingroot.
Worked fine for a while after rooting, main reason I rooted was to remove the bloatware installed (full of disney apps etc)
After removing the apps, then i started having trouble after reboot, and the following message keeps appearing and wont go away.
"unfortunatley, the process com.android.systemui has stopped"
Hopefully im asking in the right area here, but im hoping i can find a decent firmware with the bloatware removed , and hope that flashing will fix this once and for all at the same time.
What complicates this is that this model is for the New Zealand market and i think they are renaming another model number for New Zealand.
If another firmware is available that i can flash onto this tablet, it would be great thanks
Specs:
Its produced by southernTelecom
Model: ST10NZ
Android 4.42
firmware 2.01
kernel version 3.4.67
build number
ST10_20141217

Anyone able to help find a ROM?

If it's any help, I'm having the same problem, still unable to find a solution, mines the ST13, but have the same problem with "com.android.systemui" - Be keen if you find a solution, I'm happy to restore the original ROM (or custom) but unable to find either as yet.
Here's hoping...

net nanny is hardcoded and dont remove netlauncher 3 . if you deleted it, it breaks the android.ui and there is no recovery image.
If anyone can come up with a ROM image, that would be great.
I also have been told here to try downloading net nanny off google play.
Apparently that works.

I got mine working again after reinstalling the netnanny app from the play store, fixed it. But it still does not run flash.
Net nanny
re downloading net nanny from the play store does work, at least to get it working again. I had a problem that after that message popped up a few times (com.android.systemui failed to load) or whatever, I couldnt click on anything. AFTER I factory reset the tablet, that problem stopped. The message kept popping up, but I was able to click "OK" and type a few letters on the setup page lol. I got into the play store, found net nanny, downloaded it, and SHAZAM! Its working again. i JUST WANT TO PLAY MY GAMES LOL. THANKS TO WHOEVER FOUND THIS OUT! I hope this helps the next person that un-installs net nanny lol. BTW, I contacted southern telecom and said I got a virus or whatever and requested a website to download the firmware, so if they give me that information, I will share it with you all
Any news on that link for the firmware
Playing with a ST13 now, the os disappeared and tablet is stuck at bootloader, unable to do anything at this point. Windows does not recognize tablet and now I am out of options.
Anyone have any ideas thoughts?

Timmy M20 Root guide/ROMs needed

I recently got a Timmy M20 but it comes with a pesky Trojan virus embedded in the youtube system app (Malware bytes told me). I think the best way to deal with this would be to in install a new ROM. The problem is it's relatively new/uncommon phone and I can't find any resources to help me. Unfortunately as far as I know I can't even root it as it's android 6.0
If anyone has any of the following it would be of great assistance:
Stock ROM for Timmy M20
Custom ROM for TIMMY M20
third party recovery compatible with this phone
advise on viability of porting a ROM from another similar phone(although I think I need the stock ROM to do this?)
Any advice on dealing with this is appreciated. My ultimate goal is to remove the malware but I would also like to install a new ROM for fun/learning.
Specs:
Model: M20
Manufacturer: Timmy
Android Version: 6.0

I have the phone and having same problem also. I have searched online for solution but all to no avail. I hope someone here at XDA can truly help out.
No root success
Hi
I'm a complete beginner, prompted by the infuriating malware on my Timmy M20 to try and find a solution.
I've tried Framaroot, didn't work. I've tried downloading Kingoroot to my phone, and also to my laptop and connecting with USB. That didn't work either.
I've subscribed to this thread in the hope that somebody somewhere will solve it.
In the meantime I will keep looking, trying & pestering my techy friends.
I did, however, find a stock Rom - on shareaz.us - downloaded to pc, scanned it for viruses (seems to be clean), so it's there if I need it.
Bump - would also like root guide for timmy m20 pro and timmy m12. Malware installed by default. Not good.
bump!
Same problem here.... got the "stock ROM" from needrom.com. It has even more malware according to Malwarebyte.
Bump - same issue.
I managed to root the phone. Here's what I did (do it at your own risk!)
1 Unlock bootloader.
You need to enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking on your phone
Boot the phone into fastboot mode. Switch off. Vol up & power together.
The phone will give you three choices (in very small fonts so maybe magnifying glasses called for)
Middle option should be fastboot
Choose it
On your pc, you need to have installed fastboot. Google if you have not done so.
On pc, command prompt;
fastboot flashing unlock (everything will be wiped; if this does not work, type fastboot help for a list of commands)
boot up the phone by taking out the battery and switch on as normal. Should take a long time. Everything is wiped
2. Install TWRP
get the file recovery_timmy_m20_pro.img google drive 0Bwq1wxJqkB4nbjZzb3huWF9fZ0U (I cannot post links )
boot the phone to fastboot mode as above
fastbbot flash recovery recovery_timmy_m20_pro.img
Once it's done reboot the phone into recovery mode (instead of middle option in fastboot, it's the first option)
You should hopefully have TWRP
3. Install SuperSU
download latest SuperSU zip file
copy to sdcard.
insert sd card
boot phone into TWRP
install superSU.
Hopefully you are done

Forgot to mention. After rooting, I cannot uninstall Youtube and the other malware as it cause instability. I get "Unfortunately youtube has stopped working" error repeatedly.
Still searching for solution.

Thank you for this! I managed to find a solution to prevent the ads from popping up. I use an app called noRootFirewall and it blocks the virus's access to the internet (preventing downloads of ads, etc).
I will try your root solution now, this phone has half decent hardware so it would be good to actually get it running without malware at some point. Maybe try installing Android 5.0 somehow?

Providing (espionage) malware is a "federal offense" in all countries, I suggest we contact the authorities to take appropriate action.
I had the "Tube has stopped working" screen blocker that was driving me crazy. BUT it turned out NOT to be malware.
When I first received the phone, I turned tube OFF, because I do not use it. THAT is the problem. I turned tube back on after a hard reset, and problem solved. And, yes, even doing a hard reset is a PITA, but it can be done even with the screen blocker, if your fingers are nimble enough to (1) hit the OK button on the screen blocker, and (2) immediately hit the "Reboot OK," button on the box under it, during the half-second that the original screen blocker is recycling. It took me about 40 tries, but I no longer have the problem reported above as long as I leave tube "enabled." Hope this help. I was about to process Timmy through the garbage disposal before I figured this out.
Avast reported Triada trojan has downloaded one more module and "gstore" malware, blocking the phone completely until reboot.
I'll trash this phone and ordered one with OTA Android security patch support.
I just had some problems with my M20 Pro too. I've bought the phone in early july 2017 with a software released 2016/10/29. I've checked for updates several times but the system said that this was the most recent version. After 4 weeks trouble started...
First Google started to warn about the youtube app which couldn't be updated from the app store. Deactivating this app lead to a never ending "youtube was stopped" message loop.
A few days later my wifi switched off randomly and full screen ads appeared where they shouldn't have. Time to do a malware scan... I chose the 30-day-trial version of Malwarebytes and it found 5 trojan infected apps (incl. youtube). But without root they couldn't be deactivated or deinstalled.
After a while Malwarebytes reported that a file called fotaupdate.apk was ready to install, so I installed it. I don't know if this file was already present on the system or if Malwarebytes downloaded it. A few seconds after the installation a download of a system update (2016/11/29) started and installed. The malicious youtube app was still present, but it was the only infected app left. Soon a second update (2016/12/05) showed up. This time the system was free of malware after installation. Shortly after a last system update (2017/08/14) arrived and android is pretty up-to-date on my M20 Pro now.
So, before messing around with rooting and firmware flashing, try to get the ota update to work and install the available system updates.
I received the phone today. It has 2016/10/29 firmware installed, with youtube app infected issue
However when I check firmware update, it says that system is already updated.
Is there a way to force the update or to install the newest one manually?
As said by chameo in his post, the latest should be dated 2017/08/14
thank you

For M20 PRO Model.
And this dated firmware ROM may contain latest malware not detectable by virus scanners yet,
be careful.

I wonder if sharing "fotaupdate.apk" file by Chameo could unlock updates on our devices. If possible, we should give a try.

NO, not from untrusted sources, has the package been verified or has s/he "unknown sources" enabled?
Besides the TIMMY M20 PRO is a completely different model, this package may brick the M20.
@woprr
Wow, that's the pessemistic view of life, eh? With the 2016/10/29 stock software version for the M20 Pro we are already stuck with a malware infected system. It can only get better.... not all of us are fond of flashing firmwares with adb, fiddeling around with command lines or rooting devices with TWRP.
Maybe you have noticed that already the software from 2016/12/05 was malware-free. If there had been malware it would have been discovered within half a year, I guess. But yes, there's always some risk left...
By the way, I doubt that any manufacturer in this highly competitive market can afford to release malware infected software all of the time.
You are right, the M20 and M20 Pro are different models with different firmwares. I've posted my experience in this thread because there are also some M20 Pro owners here, searching for a solution for their problems.
I've found a fotaupdate.apk on a SD card I've used with my M20 Pro some time ago. I've sent it to cinxda to try if it works. We'll see...

Need help please

Hello there.
I got a BP-2 from a friend, which runs on Lollipop 5.1 with a baseband .2.0.2.ci-00017-M8935FAAANUZM-1.
The Model Name is unknown and so it the build number. Certain built-in apps in the phone simply does not work and some android features such as accessibility option or date and time option, when clicked just closes down the settings tab. Moreover, the phone also has issues connecting to PC and Wifi.
Before posting my request, i did all available options to upgrade the rom to latest available on forums. I was able to flash original recoveries and TWRP. I could use ADB and Fastflash tools to experiment sideload options. Nothing seemed to have worked for me. In almost all attempts, the progress just stops at "Patching system image unconditionally......" indefinitely.
I have also tried for days to get past the issue but my bad.
I will really really appreciate, if someone can give me an idea here on what possibly could be the problem and how to address it. Once again, I am thankful to the immense help i am getting from respected gurus here.
Thanks

Huawei Honor Pad 2 unable to connect to Wifi after system update

Hi, this is my first time posting on xda forum, so if my post has some problems, I'd be delighted to correct.
So, I bought the Huawei Honor Pad 2 tablet about a year ago, and about last month it asked me to upgrade the system, and after the upgradation, the wifi icon becomes greyed out and I'm unable to turn it on. I tried to factory reset and wipe its cache partition but still no luck.
I dont know whether to flash its firmware would solve the problem but a few sites I stumbled upon, none of the links works(e.g. huawei-firmware rom links for my tablet model number don't work)
Some searches suggested it could be my hardwares malfunctioning, but since the wlan option greyed out problem only occurred immediately after the system update, I wonder if reflashing a new rom would work.
So I have run out of ideas, also I could not find honor pad 2 on the official huawei website, nor on xda forum, it mostly gives me mediapad as a result, but they seem different on pictures.
And some specs about my tablet:
Model: JDN-W09
Build Number: JDN-W09C233B023
EMUI Version: 4.0.3 (can't remember the original version but this is the one I got after that horrible system update)
Any helps are greatly appreciated!

uuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhhh
Hi,
I had the same update,and we have the same specs,but tell me please how did you manage to get google play and all other google things to work?Maybe its because you are rooted?
It seems we are the only ones that we have this tablet,cos i can't find anything about rooting it or solve the google play problem without rooting.The worst thing is that nobodys bothering to make a post about it cos maybe the tab had been bought by a few people.
I don't have your problem,mine is working ok but my problem is way greater.I have done cache clears,download and intstall google services several times and some other tricks that i found on the net but nothing seems to work.
One click rooting methods:none of them work!
The οnly sure thing that we both need is a guide of how we are going to update the firmware to an earlier version(stock firmware)
Here on XDA i found only guides for phones of honor or tabs like media pad m2 that they seem to be similar but yet...i'm not sure.
I hope someone will take the time to answer on your post and our problems with this awesome tab!
I have also upgraded my Honor Pad 2 JDN-AL00 model to EMUI 4.0.3 B023 latest firmware and faced similar issues of Google apps not able to run anymore. I have tried to rollback the update by reflashing with older firmware versions. The update process shows success but when I boot up the set it still shows B023.
After researching the net, I think the problem could be because the older firmwares found in huawei-firmware.com are all OTA which means they are incremental updates. To fully rollback to earlier versions, I think we need Full OTA firmware. So far the only one that I can find on the net is B018 version. It’s abt 1.7GB. I have not gotten down to test out my theory. If you’re keen you can give it a shot and let everyone here know if it works...

ColorOS 7 Assistive ball...bug ?!

I turned this feature on, but I cannot find where to switch it back off again. I think there's a serious glitch. There used to be a button on the quick add but that's gone. Anyone mind trying from their device?

? What is "assistive ball"
No such setting
Under convenience tools. Do you not have it? It must be on C10 and not available on C11. I suspect I enabled it and the latest update rolled it back perhaps. I was forced to do a system settings reset on my device to kill it.
I have the latest ColorOS 6 package, if I attempted to run it in recovery would I end up bricked? We're talking Android 10 - 9. I have a feeling things aren't meant to work like that.

No such thing in my phone. Sorry.
AFAIK you won't be able to go back to back to 9. Oppo have locked the bootloader to prevent regressive updates. Recovery will just fail. You won't brick anything though.
You could try recovery update via WiFi? Doubt it will work, as it links to the last thing on your country's website which is likely to be an outdated COS6. With a shot just in case.
Let me know
