Hello ! Since most roms i ve checked for S6 suffered from camera problems, battery drain, loss of connectivity, is it possible to flash the stock rom for S7, essentially converting my S6 into an S7 and receiving the updates from Samsung ?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Never in the life unless you want a paperweight with a good design.

Two years ago I used Nemesis rom but I guess now is outdated due to the growing demand for more powerful hardware.

If the roms ported from S7 to S6 doesn´t work well despite were adapted; a stock rom made for a S7 and without any adaptation for your device will brick it (in the case it could be flashed).

THANK_YOU

I understand.

You have presented a plausible scenario for my third possibility; though not as a proxy for that member. Remarkably, you offer this solely for my edification and had you been that member I would have to reevaluate my stance on the response. Spurred on by what you shared, I sought to revisit the subject to increase my understanding and I thank you for the motivation to do so.

Unfortunately, my assessment of the other member remains static despite the information gleaned through my searches. I'll not attempt to justify my opinion, as that subject was shown to be irrelevant by [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION]'s judicious response. I highlight that it is nothing other than my opinion; neither proved, nor disproved.

I appreciate the neutral manner in your approach and assure you that your effort was not wasted.

Also, kudos to you. It would seem that you were skilled enough to rectify your predicament without too much fuss, given the status of your bootloader and availability of a ROM.

I appreciate the compliment but the fix was like hitting the lotto. There was was a lot of ROMs for the Nexus 6 only one had USB debugging on by default.

Google should make it easier to know things like that. I had no idea about FRP. Google was nagging me about not changing my password for a while and I'm a flashaholic. I had no idea it would look my account for 72 hours, PC included.

This is the first time I've seen anything related to that issue I've read about is why I posted. It's been like 3 years. I've been lurking around here for quite a few years. There's a core of great people here but on the surface it seems most of the issues posted are from people that don't like to read before posting or up to shady activities.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Absolutely not, you can only install the stock firmware for S6 but you can't just flash "any" S6 firmware, generally you can only flash the S6 firmware for your specific model number and region/carrier.

You can try porting the S7 stock ROM to work on S6 but it won't be easy.

Hello Experts Noob Here I live in China Today I bought an OPPO R17 PRO it came with a Chinese Version no Google Playstore I want to change into Global ROM that comes with a Google Playstore any lead? am so noob I have tried to change any ROM before this will be my first time tho! So Step by Step Procedures Please if anyone can help me thanks in Advance ?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I´m not sure if I catched what you mean with touchpad maybe touch panel?

If this is your issue then is not in the kernel itself but in the kind of panel that some manufacturers use on some devices by i.e. Xiaomi uses on a same model (not even on different) atleast three kinds of display; Tiamma, BOE, EBBG and maybe more. The reason? some of them are cheaper.

Developers of TWRP use the only kernel released for a device and given that stock recovery doesn´t need a touch screen enabled and the drivers from the source are not 100% compatible with these then they´re not perfectly adapted to it. It could be that on new releases of TWRP touch screen won´t respond at all. This could be solved using the old drivers but this need a TWRP built from the source or a good dev to edit the exact/s binary line/s when drivers are loaded and knowing which driver your device is using.

If there´s not kernel sources available for your device and TWRP was ported from other similar device then search from another that has atleast two kinds of panel and that this TWRP has been made for both kinds of them.

Download an app like Aida64 and look at Display section to give you an idea, similarly you can find it using adb commands

adb shell

getprop

With a locked bootloader you can´t spoof official signature from OPPO to flash it through by i.e Qualcomm Downloader Tool, in the case the tool starts the flashing process most likely will end with error and this could brick your device.

You theoretically could do it by using a tool that accepts EDL mode like QPST/Qfil but only an owner that tried can confirm you for sure. It works on some devices but you´ll need some skills to send device to this mode using testpoint method.

If OPPO brings support to unlock bootloader then you can do it easily via fastboot.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I had in the past an oscure device (Bluboo S1) with a similar issue even worst and was solved editing a binary entry, I don't remember exactly the dev that achieve this.

But in this case it seems that you solved the drivers issue, the problem is that TWRP is being updated constantly so maybe an older version works better.

If the culprit is the panel then sometimes will work and sometimes not.

To incorporate cheap panels is a known practice in India and China mostly used on sub brands but also randomly used on main products.

Look up on getprop to identify it.

If you don't get unlock bootloader officially you can't but if you get it then you can on various ways.

If you badly need to do it then you need to force your mind trying to understand the basics otherwise what you will get? A bricked device?

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Because Google Play is prohibited in China due to business matter.

Try first installing an app called Google Apps installer, if this doesn't result and the apps installed by Google Apps installer break all the time try changing your vpn to other place.

If this doesn't result you'll need to change your rom using testpoint method.

****ed my phone

Ok so I ****ed up my phone today and can't seem to be able to fix it

I own a Redmi Note 4x (mido) 3/32 and about 2-3months ago I installed LineageOS 16.0 on it because I got bored of MIUI, recently tho I bought a Smart TV and realised that LOS doesn't support screen casting at all for now and decided to flash MIUI back to the phone so I could use screen casting. I downloaded MIUI 10 from the official website and booted phone into recovery, created a backup of everything with TWRP, wiped data and started sideloading the rom.

First I got an error that the zip verification signature couldn't be verified, so after 1 minute on google I just turned off the signature verification check and sideloaded the rom and it seemed to work, no errors. When I tried booting it tho it wasn't working at all it just got stuck on the MI loading screen and wouldn't move past it. This happened to me the first time I was flashing a custom rom so I didn't worry much. I booted recovery again and restored the backup I had made previously, everything was going great until the very end when it was restoring firmware data, then an error occured: createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255, I didn't know what to do so I just tried booting the phone, and the phone booted and I realised none of the data and apps were actually wiped in the first place and then I realised it's not recognising my hardware, it didn't detect my SIM, couldn't connect to WiFi it couldn't even find any networks, camera wasn't working, fingerprint also not working and in the about phone section it couldn't get any data, no mac adress, IMEI basicly nothing all it said was the phones name is Redmi Note 4 and that's it. So not knowing what to do I decided to boot into recovery and I wiped all of the data once again, I sideloaded LineageOS 16.0 again and gapps and got no errors at all, I booted the phone, everything was wiped so just clean system, but the same problem was there, it's not recognising any hardware, fingerprint, camera, no hardware info in settings, wifi, sim, nothing basicly. I really don't know what to do anymore.

Any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Let me be clear, there is nothing we can help you with in regards to bypassing FRP, whether legitimate or not.

There is no point in persisting with your questions on this subject.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Your issues seem to be kernel related.

Try flashing a custom kernel along with LOS.

If that doesn't work, try flashing back to stock via PC and your devices specific flashtool. You stand a better chance of fixing issues using your stock firmware or it's individual parts. Once you get it working correctly on stock, reinstall TWRP, ROMs and/or root.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
When you think to go from a miui rom (even from any stock that came with device) to a custom rom the first important things is to backup some sensitive partitions that currently working, atleast modem, EFS (usually so called on TWRP), cust/vendor.

These partitions are responsible of every one of the troubles mentioned in your post. Usually users take a backup of system, data maybe boot and nothing more.

You could eventually solve this by flashing the firmware by recovery but you have to find the version that matches with your current LOS rom so search for the date release of both and flash it and see if it solve

If didn´t solve then flash the latest miui rom using MiFlash Tool selecting "clear all data". Usually flashing the rom through recovery doesn´t solve this kind of issues so it doesn´t contain all the partitions to be wiped and replaced.
[General Questions and Answers] goran44:
Okay, so I have tried flashing Franco kernel alongside LOS and ArrowOS and the same thing happens, I flash the kernel and the rom and when I go to boot the phone TWRP tells me: Are you sure you want to boot, there is no OS installed, I press yes and the phone boots and does have an OS installed, but the same problem persists.

I don't have time now, I'll try flashing via MI Flash Tools to stock tommorow and see what happens.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The method shown in this site refers to the normal method to flash a stock rom on your device model although some tools like SPFlash Tool linked there are not for your processor but the others could work on it.

The problem is not to flash a stock rom but a cross firmware that is not allowed officially and to avoid that OPPO as many other OEMs sign the firmware.

It´s not at all the great thing but you have to know atleast some basics to do what you intend to achieve.

You could use this tool https://www.getdroidtips.com/install-use-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil/ but the process mentioned there is not the right for you.

Just research first of all if you could unlock the bootloader, if yes then the rest will be easy, if not then you have to research how to enter device to download/EDL mode so this method is hidden on locked devices you have to do it through TestPoint.

And when you get it then go to the second step, all is here https://youtu.be/Iwkx5CFRFKo

Compare with the build.prop inside the firmware that you have currently flashed and fill the line exactly the same. You can pull the file to your pc and then push it again to system> then chmod to 644 and reboot.

FRP locked after G- password change followed by factory reset

Yes, I think it is still true!

Thank you for this info that I think finally explains why I can't get past pattern recognition or <Sign in with Google> with correct pattern and correct Google credentials. The phone, a Wiko View Go, is now soft-bricked. To begin with, it was in an endless boot-loop after power-on. Therefore, there was no access on that phone to remove my Google account before the next step, which was a hard factory reset (wiping the partitian didn't help). After booting, the phone didn't recognize my pattern so I decided to immediately log-in with my Google account. Because I didn't remember my Google password, I changed it using my other Android.

Do you know how many days or hours it will keep me locked out? (BTW, I also firmware-updated system via pc, as latest action. I am still locked out.)

Q. I assume that a ROM for a Qualcomm device can not be Port in a MTK. But in MTK exist the cross-porting-MTK, but I read that only could be done from processors with the same number of cores.

Q. Some guides say that the devices have to have the same resolution

Q. Also said that you could only port from similar versions of Kernel, but I read that the kernel can be port too, you copies from the stock to the port and done, appears in the boot.img file, and of that way does not necessarily need to be similar.
