After flashing ROMs it's advisable to do the following:

Boot your phone into recovery then “wipe data/factory reset” “wipe cache partition”

This is to ensure no residual files remain and to avoid bugs and system errors.

(Here is how to fix your Bricked Phone)

Step 1: Boot into recovery using "vol+ and power button at the same time.

Step 2: When you see the android man down logo with exclamation mark inside a red triangle, hold power button down and click vol + once (you should be in the android system recovery now)

Step 3: Use vol+/- to scroll down to "apply update from cache"

Step 4: Now select "system_update/"

Step 5: Then select "update.zip"

Step 6: Now allow android system recovery to finish the installation

Step 7: After installation, reboot your phone by clicking" reboot system now " That's it now your phone should be unbricked!!

(If you encounter "Privacy Protection Password" error after unbricking your phone follow the steps below)

To resolve this issue, you'll need to format then re-flash the phone's exact firmware (do not flash that meant for another phone model and do not format if you don't have the stock ROM)

Note: If you remember your Anti Theft Password then try to put it as Privacy Protection Password and see if it works if not then try the method mentioned below.

Requirement:
* Stock ROM (Firmware)
* SP Flash Tool ( Version 3.x  or Version 5.x  )
* PC
* USB cord
* Manually Install Mediatek VCOM drivers

Procedure: Ensure you have the complete Stock ROM then format the phone in SP flash tool after formatting, flash the stock ROM / firmware back to the phone using the same SP flash tool.

Under-Screen Camera Technology : Who Will Win The Race?

During the past 5-6 years, we saw various forms of notch screen, lifting front camera, water drop screen, and hole-punch screen. However, to achieve a true full-screen effect with no addition structures and notches, there is only one way – under-screen camera. Xiaomi vs ZTE Recently, Xiaomi and ZTE have had a war of words around the under-screen camera technology. ZTE officially released the Axon 20 5G on September 1. It is known as the world’s first commercial under-screen camera phone. And though Xiaomi hasn’t announced a similar phone yet, it released the so-called ‘third-generation under-screen camera technology’ on August 28. Mass production of this technology will have to wait until next year.
