A Groundbreaking Approach to App Stability on HyperOS
When you encounter an unresponsive App now, please do not keep tapping "Wait," otherwise you might lose important data. The bug exist since 2022 (atleast) & is discovered by a content creator on Billibil.
To prevent key system apps from continuously having ANR (Application Not Responding) errors or crashing, which leads to the phone getting stuck on the boot animation or other issues, Xiaomi added a "RescuePartyPlus" feature on top of Android's original "RescueParty" mechanism which will attempt to self-rescue the system by clearing the cache & data. You can even find the official MIUI announcement triggered by this feature which dates back to the 2022 featurem
However, since its Xiaomi, the developers actually forgot to make the code check of whether the unresponsive app is a system App. So, after a user's App is repeatedly unresponsive, Xiaomi's HyperOS clears the app data 🥳

Nothing Phone 2a Bootloader Exploit Working
A new exploit called Fenrir targets the Nothing Phone 2a, CMF Phone 1 & other MediaTek-powered devices. It takes advantage of a flaw in how the phone starts up, allowing full control over the device before Android even loads. Even after waiting for 1 month, Nothing ignored the developer's bootloader vulnerability report affecting CMF Phone 1 and Phone 2a and thus developer made it exploit public.
When you power on your phone, it goes through several steps to make sure everything is secure and untampered. This is called the secure boot chain. Each of these steps is trusted only if the previous one verifies it.
1. BootROM – The first code built into the chip. It loads the next part.
2. Preloader – Loads the next component, called bl2_ext, and normally checks it.
3. bl2_ext – This runs at the highest privilege level (EL3) and is supposed to check everything else.
4. TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) – Handles secure operations like fingerprint data and encryption.
5. GenieZone – A MediaTek component that manages access to the secure system.
6. LK / AEE – Boots the Android operating system and handles crash logging.
7. Linux Kernel – This is Android. The phone is now fully booted.
This exploit abuses a flaw in the MediaTek boot chain. When the bootloader is unlocked (
Additionally, the included PoC also spoofs the device’s lock state as locked so you can pass strong integrity checks anywhere while being unlocked. Someone even managed to pass Basic, Device and Strong integrity on LineageOS for Phone 2a without rooting, spoofing, using pixel fingerprint or leaked keybox.
Vivo X80 Pro is also vulnerable & it has a more severe version of the flaw, as it fails to verify bl2_ext even with a locked bootloader. You can read more about the usage of exploit here:

This exploit abuses a flaw in the MediaTek boot chain. When the bootloader is unlocked (
seccfg), the Preloader skips verification of the bl2_ext partition, even though bl2_ext is responsible for verifying everything that comes after it. So if bl2_ext it's not verified and can be modified, it compromises the entire secure boot process. The exploit modifies a function called sec_get_vfy_policy() inside bl2_ext, making it always return "0", so an unverified bl2_ext running at EL3 now happily loads unverified images for the rest of the boot chain.Additionally, the included PoC also spoofs the device’s lock state as locked so you can pass strong integrity checks anywhere while being unlocked. Someone even managed to pass Basic, Device and Strong integrity on LineageOS for Phone 2a without rooting, spoofing, using pixel fingerprint or leaked keybox.

Sideloading Restrictions, some updates from Google.
If you are a hobbyist/student - Free and Straightforward process but comes with limits on number of apps and installation.
As a developer, you will be able install apps with ADB without restrictions for testing purposes

Nothing Phone 3 will be available for Rs. 35,000 (~400$) in India after exchange of Phone 1 or Phone 2
Including exchange, Nothing phone 3 lost more than 50% value in just 2½ months after the launch. My condolences to everyone who bought it at launch as you guys have been scammed in under 3 months

BREAKING: Xiaomi 16 Series has been cancelled
To copy Apple 1:1, Xiaomi has decided to cancel the 16 series. That's because:
1. Since the iPhone 17 series exists in 2025, Xiaomi will also call it the Xiaomi 17 series.
2. As iPhone 17 Pro Max exists, Xiaomi will also launch a 3rd model which will be called Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
My dearest condolences to every Xiaomi user who plans to buy the flagship 17 series, because you will be seen in the world as a "poor man's iPhone" user. Heck even BBK or Oppo Group didn't change their flagship phones naming just to copy Apple

We’ve heard the feedback about Spotify Free… what works, what doesn’t, what it could be. So now we’re giving it a real update for the first time since 2018.
