Noob. Root, OTA, Rom issues

Apologies for any ambiguity in my question. I know a little about what I'm doing, but please assume I'm an absolute noob in any answers you're kind enough to give.

All I want to do is update my developer's device to 4.2.2 sense 5. Official or unofficial, but a complete build and not a 'nightly'.

Device.

HTC One x+. (ENCR2B 1.7 ghz cpu).

Bootloader unlocked

S-off

CID: [11111111]

HBOOT-1.30.000

Android Version: 4.1.1

SW number: 1.14.401.16

A friend has been helping me some otas to put into the root folder:

OTA_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1-1.14.401.16_release_299714gvfiqff2an7kxpue (Successful)

OTA_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.3-1.17.401.1_release_315713d616d00wmigw90o1 (Successful)

OTA_ENRC2B_U_JB_50_S_HTC_Europe_2.18.401.2-1.17.401.3_release_3303469me80mqqopa8apjt (FAILED)

I can't copy the last file on to the root. Error message: The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected. (!!??)

Of course I've done a whole lot of unplugging/plugging, restarting, checking drivers and all the usual stuff, but the file won't copy.

My questions are:

Can anyone supply me with a straight-up RUU for 4.2.2 sense 5 for my device?

or

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong with copying the last OTA file to the device

or

Can anyone supply me with a different OTA to try?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Duplicate TWRP screens on recovery TF300T 4.2.1

Flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and when I go into recovery I have split screens showing duplicate images. Touch will not work on either hemisphere. Tried to flash CWM and reflash TWRP but that did not clear it out. Also tried an earlier version of TWRP with same result. I have an Asus TF300T running Jelly Bean 4.2.1

It depends on the method Magisk used to root your device, some devices get rooted by flashing the recovery image, in this case won't work for you, anyway habitually, the most used method to fix things up, is by flashing back the boot image.

Hi, I have a pixel 4a with grapheneOS installed.

But the battery shows crazy behaviour - charging charged sometimes to 96%, sometimes to 100%. When I get out of bed, its already down to about 87% and works for a while.

Regular usage over the day drains it to about 20% after about half a day. After that battery drains 1% per half a minute until it shuts down.

If I plug in the charger then and wait approx. 1 minute, it boots and says 55-60% battery remaining!

Is there a way to recalibrate the battery or is it done for? I might add that it never died on me while charging or anything.

Hello I currently have the Samsung Galaxy A750FN from 2018 I found an unofficial TWRP version but I don't have an windows laptop/computer and join doesn't work because the Mac version is outdated I heard there is an way called Fastboot flashing an image file anyone know if that works for my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
By properly installing the drivers as your laptop was trying to tell you do. You can't ignore that and still expect to be able to connect your device without first solving that issue.

Do a Google search for:

"Huawei USB drivers"

Download the drivers and install them on your PC. If your laptop installed some drivers when you first connected your device, you may need to uninstall those drivers then restart your laptop then install the Huawei USB drivers that you downloaded.

You need to boot into download mode then use either Odin on Windows, Heimdall on Linux or JOdin on Mac.

Yes, there are battery calibration apps in the Playstore, results aren't guaranteed though.

Hello folks, I'm seeking help!

Yesterday I tried to move all my photos from my note 20 ultra to my pc, I've done it through USB cable, connected the phone to the computer, went on DCIM-Camera, cut, then copy to my computer. Unfortunately after a few minutes the process was interrupted (don't know why) and now I've lost ALL MY PHOTOS, DCIM folder on the phone is empty and files were not copied to the pc. Please help me I have just lost 2 years of memories...... Thank you to all who will help
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Probably not what you are looking for, but to keep it in mind in the future, when you need to have sensitive or important files to your affections, on another device other than the original host, do not move them at first, just copy them, that way you make sure that the original remains intact until you have verified that the copy has been made satisfactorily.

First you can look at a "bad remedy/consolation", in case they're lost, search in DCIM/.thumbnails, first you have to let visible hidden files through your file explorer app of your choice.

Also, sometimes it is done a copy in RAW format, that's growing in a single file.

Third, note that you need to have an extra storage to let the digging app do its thing.

And lastly while you wait some member can target directly to a specific app, you can take a look here, there are some suggestions though https://xdaforums.com/t/help-how-do...eted-files-from-android-mobile-phone.4262781/

Your device has to be properly connected at the right mode (download mode) required by SPFT in order to work, it means that in PC device manager, it has to be recognized at MediaTek Preloader mode.

Follow this guide https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-unbri...india-6s-using-spflash-tool-for-free.4222027/ replace the proper files accordingly your device.

Hi!

Trying to get help / info one more time before I sell the tablet....

What I want to do is to get the tablet power on when the charger cable is plugged.... and vice versa... turn off when the charger is disconnected. That turn off part can be done with some app... for example macrodroid...

So my tablet is Samsung Galaxy tab A7 lite.... those "fastboot oem off mode" commands doesn´t work on that Samsung....

So I managed to root the tablet..... then tried several file explorer apps to modify "boot file" what I´m thinking is "kpoc_charger" in my tab... it has mediatek chip.... no success in that... I can´t edit/rename or so on that original file.

Is there some file explorer which can do that?? Or is this process impossible to do because of Samsung / knox or something....?

Or is it only the because just me.... I can´t / don´t know how to do it.

If that whole process is not going to work on that tab.... can you suggest some reasonable priced tab which will surely work in that meaning...

My plan was put that tab to car using it as a navigator / dashboard and so on.... but it turns difficult if I had manually turn the tablet on every time I get in to car....

Thanks in advance to any help / info / suggestion and so on...!!

Is it possible to bring back old Android 11 quick settings on Android 12/12L/13? I'm not interested in Power Shade, Mi Control Center or anything related to them. I'm using unofficial LineageOS 20.0 on Redmi Note 7. I have Magisk and LSPosed.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Devices that have the same CPU architecture can potentially share firmware but depending on the other accessory components such as the camera, digitizer, touchscreen, hardware buttons and the various sensors, everything may or may not work correctly or may work but work backwards or upside down. Results are not guaranteed and can still cause you to brick your device. Depending on what causes the device to brick, in most cases, it is possible to recover the device though sometimes it can be very technical and difficult

Flashing a firmware from a different device that has different architecture will certainly cause the device to be bricked, in most cases, it is hard bricked and unrepairable.
[General Questions and Answers] SanskritFritz:
I use LOS16 on my Galaxy S7. The only problem I have with it is the lock screen: it is active in the sense that anyone can turn off or on wifi for example or activate any quick setting icon by swiping from the top. I also tried LOS20 for a short while but it suffers from the same problem. I found no setting available to turn quick settings icons off on the lock screen.

So my question is: is there a ROM for my S7 that fulfills the following expection:

* Quick settings icons are not active on the lock screen (in fact nothing should be active there, except the fingerprint reader and the password entry field).

Hi, I just want to ask quick question.

Guides for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A mention, a lot of (riva) model, but I have, MDG6 model that says in device.

But the phone is 16GB variant, Redmi Note 5A

So it should be fine?

I can use this TWRP?

And this bootloader method ?

I plan to flash Lineage 14.1 , it's also for (riva), but should be ok? right?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Only S7 owners/users would know. Or, in each ROM thread, there should be a "changelog" showing what features were added or removed.

Or, bite the bullet and flash each ROM available for S7 and check each ROM yourself. This is something that you can figure out for yourself if you take the time to put the effort in instead of asking to be spoonfed an answer to your question. We are more than glad to help, but, we do not spoonfeed.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You are completely mistaken a different device for another, although you edited the hyperlink calling it as "Redmi Note 5a" you linked to the Redmi 5a forum.

Redmi 5a had two main variants (Rolex and Riva) but your device it's RN5a, in the version of 2 GB of RAM is code named Ugglite called in other market like Redmi Y1 lilte, also badly called Redmi Note 5a lite (appendix lite is not official), while the most (slightly) powered version and whith a larger screen is Redmi Note 5a Prime also called like Redmi Y1 for other market, code named Ugg.

You'll find, like both share similar specs, some development under Ulysse, code name, this is also suitable for the RN5a. This is the right forum for RN5a-XDA
[General Questions and Answers] SanskritFritz:
I don't think I asked to be spoonfed. I just hoped someone reading my post reacts with a short "yes, I use ROM X which fulfills your desire, try it". I'm not asking anyone to try all ROM's available to see if they fit my bill. As you already said, I can do that myself. So, while I appreciate your post and the willingness to help, your answer was completely unnecessary and a bit condescending (at least I felt so). Besides your post just stated the obvious which is the very definition of spoonfeeding. :p

I can't believe it.

That showed first in my search results, i could brick it without knowing.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
With a device that old, you won't find many users in this thread that still use that device, or, the probability is very low, at least. Besides, when it comes to finding a ROM that works best for you, it is always best to try them for yourself because your results will be different than someone else's. Users of a different device would not be able to help you with suggestions because their ROMs and the S7 ROMs will not have the same settings and options. Looking around in the S7 forum and asking users there that actually use the S7 would get you a better answer.

Sorry, it may not seem like it to you, but, asking for a ROM with a specific setting or option for your own convenience instead of trying to find one for yourself is asking to be spoonfed. I know you were just trying to save time to make things easier and less trouble for yourself, but, that is the very meaning of looking to be spoonfed. Sad, but, true.
[General Questions and Answers] SanskritFritz:
Yeah, I first tried the S7 forum a month ago, no answer came, so I decided to ask in a more requently visited forum.

I disagree here, I think a specific ROM like LOS for example compiled for another phone will have the same specific setting I am talking about. I don't think lock screen settings change from device to device, but I might be wrong.

Fair enough, I accept your view on this matter. I value your time you spent on me, and I continue to look for a suitable ROM. Trying them one by one is not what I will do since that phone is my daily driver, so I very much value the stability of it.

Peace man, life is wonderful.
[General Questions and Answers] grimlet:
I ended up flashing stock rom on my phone (Realme 8i RMX3151) while using sp flash tool, apparently wiping or overwriting NVRAM in the process.

I lost the imei and googlekey attestation but managed to restore them using SN writer. However my touchscreen also became erratic and completely unusable, with the four quadrants of the screen also swapped around, and the X and Y axis swapped within them. I've requested help from the manufacturers with no result. I wonder if anyone knows what I have done and how I can fix it. My research so far leads me to think that lost the configuration/calibration data for the touchscreen, something which is no included in the downloadable stock rom. I wonder if I can somehow obtain this data file from an identical phone, either individually if I can identify it, or simply clone everything, in order to restore the required data.

I've read somewhere that I can fix this by flashing touch configuration file, not that that helps me much as I have no idea where to find it.

I'm not sure to what degree this problem, and any solution, might be device specific. I've found many threads of people in the same position, with a wide variety of phones, but no answers on how to solve it.

Does anyone have any knowledge about this issues or and pointers towards solutions?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's what I figured, the S7 forum is probably dead or very low activity so the odds are you may not get assistance there. S7 users would be the best source of info though, maybe someone will come through for you.

Yes, in general, LOS ROMs "should" have the same settings but, in most cases, different devices have different hardware-based built in stock features that other devices do not and are also built into the custom ROMs for that device to captolize on that devices built in hardware/software features. Device settings are their own thing in each ROM, it isn't a matter of there being "stock" LOS settings with each devices "other" settings on top the "stock" LOS settings, it is a bit more integrated. But even this example is only pertaining to LOS, when it comes to other custom ROMs based on LOS with other mods and tweaks, it gets even more messy.

In my time here I've had multiple devices using the same CM/LOS and CM/LOS based ROMs from the same era(i.e. CM 11 on multiple devices, LOS 14 on multiple devices, etc), there were things they all shared but also things that weren't the same It really just depends on what each developer chooses to include in their ROM or not, on a ROM by ROM, developer by developer basis.

I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just trying to tell you what I thought would get your best answer the soonest since finding someone familiar with the device and ROMs were slim, it was probably going to come down to you doing your own investigating anyway so that is direction I pointed you in.

Hey, noob here, I have an obama Sense tw102 phone and i keep running into errors. I have read, searched, read, searched, and all that just to go from one error onto another that would send me back to square 1.

[The next paragraph is the story so far so skip to the next next paragraph for the technical issue]:

So i managed to get my hands on an obama phone and I tried to use it but It seemed very slow and crappy. Not only that, but my T-mobil sim wouldn't work with it. I actually already have a working phone with a sim but I wanted to install "Drauger OS" on my pc to replace windows and play games on it. Unfortunately I had issues with my pc regarding bluetooth, wifi and all kinds of crap and i ended up on a dead end where the only solution is to use my phone as an ethernet (hotspot tethering) but I can't do that with my original phone. I realized "if i jailbreak my obama phone, i will be able to insert the sim in it and then use that phone to connect my pc to the internet, to download the proper modules needed so i can play the games i want." With all that in mind i looked up a custom ROM video (link -

) but after watching it, I started having issues unlocking oem (im now pro at unlocking and locking oem) then i kept running back and forth into the errors "dtb not found", "booting failed (remote 'unknown reason')", "unlock this device to use this command" [i think i solved that one with oem unlocking] but now "adb not found" is the most common issue i see.

[The next paragraph is the technical issue, the next next paragraph is hardware 'clues' i've researched about my phone]:

My phone is stuck in fastboot, i cannot access the recovery, or the adb i was downloading a twrp.img and i think it occupied my storage space so now i can't delete it.

I am now following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/fastboot-unbrick-your-device-with-no-display.2949356/ and im stuck at "fastboot update update.zip"

I am pretty sure i don't have the right update.zip but i am also afraid that my obama phone wont have enough space for when I do find the right update.zip same with the "recovery.img" mentioned in that guide.

I know that my device is oem unlocked and i know how to delete cache.

[This next paragraph is the last and it's a set of hardware clues I've found out about my Sense tw102 phone]

Product name - msm8937

Variant - QRD eMMC

no bootloader or baseband version is showing

It's the equivalent of samsung 11 and its api lvl is 30 but im not sure whether that is 100% true or not.

OEM unlock only unlocked the bootloader, this only allows you to use custom software and mods.

SIM/carrier unlocking a device to use it on another network is a completely different thing, they are not related.

May I'm wrong, but I think that such security level is implemented in Android itself, and would be "strange" or at least not "usual", that a developer includes this kind of things if the Android version doesn't include it itself.

Actually I have a Samsung device running Android 11, OneUI official, and at first screen where the PIN or pattern, or whatever security measure suppose to be here, you can't do anything but try to unlock it.

But if you shut off, a second, the screen, then power on, you can access to the tiles, and make whatever with them.
