I'm guessing a bit here.

It looks like you're firmware is in:

C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Nokia_8_TA-1004_00WW_NB1_600WW_MSM8998_7.1.1_QFIL\Firmware

Try moving the firmware folder to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\Firmware

Hi, please I want to know which model exactly is the Infinix Note CE0197. Also can you please point me to any custom roms and guides to install them on this device. Thanks.

Sorry, was typing with my non dominant hand and didn't proof. Edited the post.

I do want to say, just try it. It won't hurt anything and makes the path to the files relative instead of having to entrr the entire path. It's the relative path that may help.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your logs keep showing an error saying "ignored" "path doesn't exist"

You need to find a solution to that.

HELP! ok girls and boys , i have a small issue with my brand spanking used (canadian) galaxy s4 i337M. bootloader unlocked , baseband i337MVLSGQB1 (lollipop if not mistaken) , rooted with with latest superSU , twrp v.3020. was running stock rooted and wanted to go to custom KK. now i know i cant run a lower stock version than lollipop without possible issues but custom should be ok.

so i flashed liquid smooth-kk-milestone 3.2. everything is running good. no fc's all settings & apps work as should.

BUT , it cant see my ext.sdCard. i have tried mounting from settings with a reboot , flashed an kk ext.sdcard permission.zip (iirc came from 0smosis. been a while) , i have powered off , removed ext.sd , replaced ext.sd , powered back on. all without luck. does anyone perhaps have a suggestion for me to try? i really want to be on kk but with my ext.sdCard. as you can imagine after years their's quite a bit of things on there i need access to.

i would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

thank you ,

dave

nevermind. having all kinds of FCs now. maybe i CANT run a lower version of custom rom.

thanks anyways for being here.

dave[emoji8]
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What kind of FC's are you getting? Which specific apps or services?

It may be because the installed versions of apps are no longer compatible with today's stuff and need to be updated, if possible. Especially Google Play Services and it's related system apps.

It has been too long since I've used KK, I can't remember the tricks used to fix extsdcard issues in kit kat and I'd rather not have to figure it all out again, lol.

I never had KK extsd issues on my Samsung devices, maybe because I always used the best Samsung sdcard I could buy. My other KK devices gave me some issues here and there but none very complicated to fix.

@ ktmom

Quick question (and to anyone) in case you missed it on my previous and lengthy post, but does anyone know what the file fh_gpt_header_0 within QFIL means exactly?
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
I still think your problem is reading the firmware files due to a path issue. So I really can't help, sorry [emoji17].

In this line of your log, you have an error

2020-01-18 00:19:52.052 00:18:11: WARNING: Couldn't find the file 'fh_gpt_header_0', returning NULL

And this line is an error

2020-01-18 00:19:52.056 00:18:11: WARNING: User specified --num_sectors=1 but file only has 1 sectors. **Ignoring --num_sectors

Then, in this line, you have a repeat of the first error I just posted.

[General Questions and Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
[MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION]

Yes, that is precisely where I am having problems!

It is still referring to the file fh_gpt_header_0

I've located the working folder for this file and the file is there...but contains nothing, it's like a dummy file with only 0 bytes!

This is all so confusing! :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Maybe you got a corrupted download or maybe the downloaded file doesn't contain a valid fh_gpt_header_0 file.

I'm not familiar with QFIL, it's a generalized flashing tool that isn't exactly specific to any particular brand of device. Many devices use Qualcomm components but they are all different in every other way, this makes for a lot of variance in how/when/where/how each of the various devices are flashed. This makes troubleshooting a little more troublesome due to all the variance between all the possible devices that can be flashed via QFIL. This may be why you have an empty gpt header file, maybe you are supposed to be getting the actual gpt header file that you need from some other source and then using that file to replace the gpt header file that came with your firmware. Or maybe you are supposed to be retrieving the contents of that file from some other source then edit the existing gpt header file to insert the contents to create the file that you need.

Maybe you can get someone else that has your device to pull a copy of fh gpt header file from their device then use that to replace the file in the firmware.

The gpt header file is part of what tells QFIL how the partitions are structured in your device so that it knows where each of the various .imgs, folders and files are supposed to be flashed to.

Hey guys, tinkered with my Asus Tf201 untill it broke. Tried to treblelize it, following some sketchy forums, no luck, now it's stuck in Apx mode. Had 5 years ago made a nvflash backup but lost the blobs due to a pc problem. Now, if i try with a specialized service, can they restore it back to functionality? Or is a glorified kitchen cutting board now? Any helpful input guys?
[General Questions and Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
[MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION]

Thank you for that valuable information! Very helpful indeed! :):good:

The fh_gpt_header_0 file was not something I obtained, this was a particularly new file to me and thought it was generated by QFIL as the file location was not set up by me.

I was recommended and linked by another user to the Nokia 8 7.1 Nougat firmware, and to only use the boot.img/partition for flashing, this is its contents:

There are "GPT" files (with a load of backups) but I am uncertain they are the same thing.

It's funny you saw that because just a few days ago my order came through the post, it just so happened to be another Nokia 8, but completely smashed to bits (screen, housing...it was finished). Got it on the cheap and curiosity. I was feeling a bit hopeful too, if I manage to fix my own phone then I might attempt to repair that.

But my best bet would be to ask anyone here on the forum.

And how does one pull a copy of fh gpt header file from their device?? :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
This would be a good place to get help with Qfil, they have a forum.

Hello, I have edited my Firmware [phone is Asus V570KL] to fix a bug in the system that manufacturer didn't want to fix.

In the unpacked .RAW file there are a few .mbn files but I don't know if they could be used as this one. Here are some photos of the files: https://imgur.com/a/b79prmG

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The firmware showed in the picture doesn`t contain the programmer file, without this file you can`t flash it through Qfil and one more thing, despite you get it and you can flash it your device won`t boot if some modification was done while bootloader is locked.

In the other hand if your device can be unlocked probably you can flash this only file modified through fastboot but it should needed a factory reset in order to can boot, this if fastboot mode is available for you and it`s carrier free.

i would like to root and get EdXposed running on it. this runs system-as-root and I have tried patching recovery image via magisk but get boot loop.

willing to pay to get this done if needed. thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
First off I guess you did unlock bootloader.

Then after to flash a modified partition most of times you would need to perform a factory reset/format data to give some chances Android can boot.

If patching recovery won`t work you should try by patching the kernel (no matter that is system-as-root)

BUT probably in both cases you need a custom recovery to flash something like a DM-verity otherwise bootloader (usually preloader in mtk devices) won`t allow you to boot. And also to get EdXposed working would be needed a custom recovery and you should have to at least port a TWRP to get a way to flash it.

[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
1. Try another cable, another computer, another windows version.

2. Go about system, press 5 times on build number until developer option is active. Enter there and click USB debugging. It might work now in order for your computer to see the device.

3. Your device should be otg compatible. Buy an otg adapter, you can connect this way an usb stick to your smartphone.

4. If not give it a go with adb. Install minimal adb. Open command prompt, write adb devices. Your device should appear there.

Tip: do consider changing name. Van Hentai, really?

Although not a fix to your adb problem. I personally use FTP and transfer files over WiFI, between my PC and Phone; thus also removing the need to hook up a cable. I personally use the File Manager MiXplorer, which has a built in FTP (and http etc) server

[General Questions and Answers] iii1iii:
MIUI 10.5, Android 10 (Pie), Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro. I can't get it to restart in safe mode, no combination of holding power button, the soft reboot or power off icons works.

The camera used to work perfect until I disabled the camera permssions in Apps > Manage Apps > Camera to stop my kids endlessly opening and closing the front popup camera while using my phone.

The camera app worked fine before I disabled the Camera permission. Once I disabled it, I re-enabled the permission, but the camera app never worked again and this fault began. I cleared the data and cache to no avail. It seems Android is incorrectly denying the Camera permission to the Xiaomi camera app which is located at com.android.camera. All other camera apps work except the built-in one, and when I switch to the second space, the built-in Xiaomi camera app works. I have no idea where to continue diagnostics, all ideas are welcome!

There is only one thing to learn here, you have corrupted your software, there aren't really any good options for discovering exactly where the corruption is, and even if you did, you probably won't be able to effect any changes that will work as well as factory resetting or refreshing the device.

The smartest choice you could make is to repair the software with a factory reset or a reflash. Anything else is just wasting time chasing your tail and banging your head against a wall trying to find a solution that ultimately won't work as well as a factory reset or a reflash.

Take the solution that even the most experienced software users/developers would use to solve this problem. There is a reason why it is the "go-to" solution, it isn't because it is the "easy fix", it is because it works and it works simpler and better than any other solution that you could possibly devise.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I will assume you are rooted. I don't know if it will explicitly help, but the following app I built checks and displays a list of many permissions. You can also change the permission for an app, if you find something. Maybe also do a comparison of the results between your working slot and the failing one, to see if it highlights anything different.

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-temefi-comprehensive-documentation-t3806260

You can find the permission stuff I am specifically thinking of, displayed under

Application Info / Manage>Permissions>All Permissions for an app>[app_id]

There are more permission related methods. If you use the menu search (ie the magnifying glass in the fly-out toolbar) and enter "permission" for your search term, there may be something else even more appropriate, or not.;) There are over 15 different menu items that report on or change "permissions". Good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] iii1iii:
Yes, the phone is rooted and you're amazing! Your app gave me the insight to possible corruption of the app itself.

It reported the com.android.camera > CAMERA permission was "unsupported" and when I changed it, the permission reverted to "unsupported". Is the app manifest corrupted? I checked it and it requests the camera permission, so I guess the android security database was corrupted. I thought I might try reinstall the app.

I moved the directory and contents /system/priv-app/MIUICamera/* (which contains the .apk file for com.android.camera) to /data/media and rebooted, then returned it to the correct location and rebooted again. The camera is fixed and the CAMERA permission is now set to "allow"!

I am trying to recreate something similar to Samsung Gamebox Launcher.

I am guessing you are trying to use it as a launcher.

I personally have been using a launcher called Lightning Launcher for more than 5 years now; its a paid app. And note that the images used in the play store and the default startup really does not do it justice. It allows you to set any image as the image for the shortcut, resize it, change the dimensions, rotate the image etc etc etc. It basically does everything, however, it has a VERY steep learning curve. I have yet to come across a situation where I have thought of something, and it cannot do it.
