At least I have mobile data now.
I backed up using Neo Backup. Then reflashed it. Using the below commands.:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system_a
fastboot flash 3.1.4-a15-20250916-microG-gsi.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot rebootAnd I should have ran “fastboot erase cache” before flashing it as well.
And the IMS App wouldn’t install for some reason, said it couldn’t download. So I just restored the app, but not data. Make sure you force 5G as an option, and do everything in the IMS settings. No idea where it’s downloading the apk from.
Don’t mess with the Phone Info thing, that you dial a code to access, all that probably did was break it. And not sure I erased system before flashing with fastboot. Flashed with fastboot, so I can use all the userdata for /e/OS, don’t want stock ROM.
Says Neo Backup is a beta. Seems to work so far. Don’t care that much if I have to reinstall stuff anyways.
And don’t restore Shelter’s data, it won’t work if you do.
For Ultra Mobile, you don’t need to manually enter the APN, well maybe if it’s too slow for you. But the Murena Mobile APN works.
LOL, if you end up with two work profiles, delete both, and restore just Shelter.
And if Neo Backup freezes your phone, run adb reboot.
Downloading Neo Backup from their GitHub didn’t work, had to install F-Droid, and install from that.
If /e/OS doesn’t work, or don’t want, you can try crDroidOS.
And now I know why MediaTek sucks, apparently they don’t release sources, I think for the kernel. So it’s hard to make custom ROMs for MediaTek.
Probably should have paid $50 more, and might not have to mess with GSI ROMs. Ahh well, it might be working now, so who cares.
Hmm maybe I do need to restore Shelter data, or it didn’t backup Work apps.
Maybe kill Gadgetbridge before backing it up, the database is read only. Got the data restored for Gadgetbridge finally. Force stopped it in both profiles, restored it, and rebooted. I converted it to a system app. Need to find a different app to do that, cause the other one has too much crap in it.
YouMail might work, don’t use the visual voicemail in /e/OS, it uses Google. No idea if YouMail does or not. Nope, said not active.
I can send texts, and I think it called all the numbers. Guess I can’t receive calls, there’s two settings I may need to enable. That’ll be about the last thing I do, about to pass out. Not enough sleep yesterday, I was trying to get the cell connection working right.
YouMail should work, manually called the numbers and then verified, and it said it’s working now.
Well, I can finally go to bed. I’ll finish setting it up tomorrow.
