Ahh. I see. Thanks. I'll look into it.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You have to put it in download mode, usually it´s enough with powering off device and connecting it to the PC, some models need to press either the vol down or vol up same time that you connect it to the PC.

Prior to try anything open and run SP Flash tool as administrator, then plug device to the PC and pay attention to the sound from the PC and you´ll see some message from the tool itself giving you some signal that is connected.

What I thought; download the image from here https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-3-...l-twrp-for-oneplus-7-7-pro-5g-stable.3932943/ and then just boot to it via fastboot, after in TWRP flash it in the ramdisk partition to fix it permanently.
[General Questions and Answers] Bastafari:
Tried that one but I just tried it again just now. Still just hangs. I had twrp installed on open beta 2 and after I updated to open beta 3 is when I started having this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] spookcity138:
I've just talked to multiple people to verify. It is definitely an encryption issue. You must be decrypted. Not gonna work any other way with OOS 11 for the 7 series at this point. Works fine on custom a11 roms however.
[General Questions and Answers] Bastafari:
Yeah this is the first time I've had an issue. Problem is, don't I need to decrypt from recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] spookcity138:
I think ya need to be decrypted coming from a10 for this to work. Again, just how I understand it from friends and such in telegram groups. I do not use OOS at all.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
That thread mentioned in the step 5 to flash Magisk in order to can reboot again, did you try it?
[General Questions and Answers] Bastafari:
I can't flash anything because twrp never loads. That's what has me going in circles. And I previously had everything working fine before I updated. I probably should have just flashed the update in recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] spookcity138:
It's 100% an encryption issue with OOS 11.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Oh no. this is totally different, if you though just in update it you should flash it over the old version.

Anyway I think that Orange Fox will ease your way https://xdaforums.com/t/unofficial-recovery-orangefox-recovery-project-22-07-20.4126261/
[General Questions and Answers] Bastafari:
I'll try it but per the instructions it says to flash in existing twrp. But there's an .img file so we'll see. I also tried pbrp, my preferred recovery, and that failed also.

You should boot firstly to the recovery image and once you can boot to OF you should flash the zip from it, here you have all the files available https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cLky_ozPaHPdVtaIAWF-sdmhJ93YoytR

Just read the last page of the orangefox thread for confirmation if you must. It's encryption. This is never going to work the way you're trying.

English is required here.

Every device has its own particularities although Magisk is actually the most extended root solution for modern devices. It´s not so simple as I-want-I-get.

You should read thouroughly this part of the Forum for your specific device and take a look on which method is the most accurate for your device https://xdaforums.com/f/samsung-galaxy-a10-guides-news-discussion.8703/

You should take your decision based in the method that worked for the device most similar to yours.

Hi guys, I am new here. I have plenty of different android phones and know my way around them quite well. Until now. I just recently bought a AT&T Calypso (U318AA) and its been hell trying to do what I need to do with this phone which seems like it should he SO SIMPLE! All I want to do is have the "Display over other apps" feature enabled. It is Disabled as it is Android 10 (Go Edition). It cannot be enabled on this phone. It is imperative that I have this feature. I cant find anything online as to what to do. I'm to the point I would like to flash a custom rom to it, but even then, im not sure if it will even work with this particular phone as there is nothing anywhere to point me into the right direction with this phone. It has not been added to the list of phones and the manufacturer is AT&T itself. Any thoughts or suggestions to what I should do to just simply get the display over other apps feature would greatly appreciated. Thank you so much

I was thinking about some custom rom for my old pal (galaxy note 8 F950, Exynos) to bring me android 11 experience. some sites recommend lineage os 18.1 but there is no official directory of such version for galaxy note 8 (phone, not tablet) on lineage site (neither galaxy S8). so I'm wondering that is it safe to use the provided rom (18.1) on my phone?

also I can't find any user's exprerience of 18.1 lineage os on galaxy note 8.

Have you tried removing your PIN/ password/ pattern/ lock screen security?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If there is no custom ROM for your device then you should not flash anything that is for a different device.

The most you should do is taking a look if your device has treble support, if it can be unlocked and some GSI can be flashed for it.
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
Yeah, I got to know that I can flash in fastboot mode, and for many files, it was saying partition flashing isn't allowed, and yes for your suggestion to boot to TWRP, actually I was able to flash it successfully but unable to boot to it, and I was flashing the files, for some CMD prompt was showing success and for some it was the same error which I mentioned earlier, but suddenly during flashing files via fastboot, my phone turned off and now it is only vibrating after holding power button for 10 sec and notification light glowing, now I think if anything can be done is by that EDL method and I'm hesitating for shopping for it from aliexpress or any Chinese, and I have another question, the tool you just put the link here, I mean will it work from fastboot mode??

I'm feeling like I won't be able to recover my phone now
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you flashed TWRP previously the method to boot to it may vary because of the condition of the device, in some cases fastboot command won´t work and you have to do it manually or a half command and a half helped with the volume up button.

The official tool linked is to run it through fastboot.

Probably in this state, if you can´t boot to recovery and you have an unstable fastboot connection you should try qfil/qpst, for that you´d need EDL mode, if you already unlocked bootloader you should boot to it via hardware buttons without need to open back cover but if your bootloader is locked you should need to test point device.

I'm more or less looking for the correct thread to post in. I have an app for the tuner on my motorcycle (Cobra Power Pro Black). The app gets stuck in a loop when connecting with Bluetooth. I've read on other forums, ppl are having the same issue. It's something with when android redid their permissions causes this bug there is a work around, (allowing permissions, clear chache etc) but after a while it still does it. I didn't know if the Guru's of XDA could fix this or reverse engineer the app. I'm not that savvy as far as that goes.

Hello everyone, I am a noob user of android, so don't judge me. I already searched the topics of Galaxy J2 and did not find an answer, so I'm asking here. My wife changed her cell phone password (an SM-G532MT) and forgot which password she put in, now the phone is threatening Hard Reset if she puts the wrong password in 6 more times. The point is that the pictures of our baby are on the phone and have not been synchronized in the cloud. I would like to know if we can unlock the phone in any way or simply recover the photos on it before resetting. She has her Google account connected, but she didn't have a Samsung account, so we couldn't unlock it from Samsung's Find My Mobile, I've already tried ADM, and didn't work as well, there is no option to change the password when I click on "Secure my phone ", the options are just to put a message and a contact phone. We don't mind losing the rest of the files, but the photos have great sentimental value, so if anyone can help, I'll be grateful. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] JeffJK:
Hi. I'm having a very strange issue. I'm using Blackview's BV9100, a fairly generic MediaTek-based Chinese rugged phone, on Straight Talk Wireless (AT&T network). I flashed an Android 11 generic system image (pphusson's "pph-Treble"), and everything works great, EXCEPT: When making or receiving calls, there is no audio unless I connect a bluetooth audio device. Call audio works fine through a bluetooth audio device (though I get a pretty intense echo of my own voice), and if I then disconnect the device, the call audio will come through the phone's speakers completely like normal. Audio calls and media playback work in other apps, just not Phone. Does this sound like a familiar issue to anyone? Its really weirdly specific and hard to Google, especially with my weird combo of phone and software.

UPDATE: Phone call audio will also play correctly through the phone's speakers when the phone is connected to a bluetooth device which does not support call audio, like my Amazon Echo. Interesting...

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you download the firmware for your specific model number then flash it using Odin on PC. While selecting the firmware parts in Odin, when you choose the CSC file, you should see 2 different CSC files, select the one that does not wipe your user data. If you choose the correct CSC file while flashing, it won't wipe anything and all the data will still be on the device. But, all this will achieve is giving your more chances to remember the correct password, you may be able to flash then try password until you run out of tries then flash again then try password again until you run out of tries, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat.

I can't comfirm whether it worked for me or not,because even after trying any of the ways, it never gets detected by my PC, earlier it was getting detected when I was able to put it to fastboot mode (only). Can anybody please help??
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You have to consider that in most of devices adb nor combination buttons work to send device to EDL mode WHEN device has locked bootloader.

For example in most of Xiaomi devices WHEN device is unlocked you can send them to EDL mode pressing both volume buttons at same time to connect to PC and if device can be power on then it works with ad reboot edl or in fastboot with fastboot oem-edl or fastboot reboot edl when the command line can be modified and replaced instead fastboot reboot bootloader

If in your case you have the bootloader locked then this method won´t work, you have instead to test point it to send it to EDL mode, you have two methods either opening back cover -acting as a technician- and test pointing the proper two pins at the back of the phone or making an EDL cable by your self (DIY), it´s not so hard or buying an EDL cable available in many internet shopping sites, they´re called EDL 9008 cable. The cost is around 6 and 12USD
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
Yeah! I'm feeling like the EDL cable is the only option left for me now, but all I want to ask you is that, 'will it get detected by PC after putting it to emergency download mode?'

And let me tell you that its bootloader was unlocked, it got bricked, I was sending (flashing) all system files one by one, without knowing anything, via command prompt, earlier it was in bricked condition but nobody told me that I can use lenovo downloader tool after putting my device to fastboot mode, it was getting detected by PC when I was able to put it to fastbot mode earlier, in spite of myself asking many people for help, nobody guided me even those who call themselves z2_plus developers!!

I updated my Surface Duo with the official update and now the device wont boot. Before I hard reset it, is there anyway to access the data via USB and recover data?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If your device can enter to fastboot mode try flashing the firmware through the Lenovo tool that I linked previously.

Also probably by flashing just a set of sensible partitions through fastboot you could fix the issue although I don´t know really what happened before the nightmare appeared.

To confirm if your device is locked whether or not you can type in fastboot

fastboot oem device-info

Also it could be that your bootloader partition is slightly corrupted, you coud repair it with

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

if your firmware contains that firmware then reboot again to bootloader with

fastboot reboot-bootloader

or

fastboot reboot bootloader

from there you should flash the partitions that can be flashed through this mode.

If the part of fastboot and Lenovo tool won´t work then enter your PC in safe mode so qfil can work without obstacles from Windows.

For a proper communication between your device and the PC I would recommend that you firstly uninstall all of the drivers and then start installing just what you´d need, I mean the adb drivers, the Lenovo drivers and the Qualcomm 9008 drivers https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-driver-64-bit-windows/

After that you could try following the tutorial that I linked previously to enter to EDL mode manually I mean once you are absolutely sure that your drivers were set it up correctly as I recommended before. Also like I said you in fastboot you could use

fastboot oem edl

and/or this set of commands can ease the task https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603912879

Hi, I have a question.

I broke a screen on my Oneplus 6T, bought a replacement and put it in myself.... Well, after I threw everything back together, I have an issue where every 5 seconds, like clockwork, the screen would blink black for just half a second. Exactly like clockwork. This issue is not present in recovery either, so I don't think it could be a hardware issue, I'm thinking it has to be software. I was running Resurrection Remix previously, I completely wiped the device and installed Liquid instead, and even switched up the kernel, but the issue is still present.

I'm totally baffled.....any ideas guys?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
in an early stage when recovery-ramdisk is running just the minimal of drivers/sensors are loaded versus in the condition when a system was completely initialized, may I wrong but I think that is a hardware issue, maybe some part of the flex was not well connected.

To see if a software issue firstly try to boot your device in safe mode, if persist...

To be able to prove it install the stock ROM that will provide again the right images (some times custom ROMs work with altered/modified kernels, vendor, etc) and it will return to the original state; if the issue persist then the theory is right and is a hardware issue.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, in your latest reply you are not strictly confirming that any of the modes are actually working so you´re saying that you feel that EDL mode is what you´d have...

We can´t guide myself enough only based for your word so there are a mix of contradictory affirmations that led me to think that you´re not clear on that matter otherwise how would be possible that PC can do something without detecting your device?

As I said you previously the drivers have to be properly installed; to have an idea on it; I didn´t see as of now a device no matter which level of brick it has that PC can´t detect it at all, the 9008 mode is intended to do so.

Again it´s just a matter of follow the right way to install the drivers and your device HAVE to be detected.

As per the EDL cable some devices has a slightly different combination on the core-wires inside the cable so may work or not but 90% of them work. I made one with a switch for a Mi Max bricked and it worked perfectly and to have better idea what I´m saying previously the motherboard became totally bricked, I had to replace it but PC detected anyway. Maybe you can add to the search "Lenovo EDL cable" and you´ll get better results.

This already was done in the old days of Redmi Note 4 and it worked till MM.

An unlocked bootloader (aboot) from some user was uploaded and shared with others, then just flashing this piece of software the other devices also got unlocked.

Then Xiaomi prevented that this follows happening and stored the token codes on its own servers, when an user follow the steps to unlock a certain device then they are sent through the Mi Unlock tool over a certain time.

Actually the process don´t spend more than 15 days approximately while in old devices that aren´t anymore a top selling it´s done automatically, I mean a RN4, RN5, RN6 and others.
