[General Questions and Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Might be a stupid question, but is there any way you can check the Usb Type C spec from the device?, Through a app maybe?, For example whether the port is Type C 2.0, 3.0?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If your device is properly rooted you always can replace the files under (>system)>system>product>media>audio either using a root file explorer or through the file explorer in-built into your custom recovery, Also probably you can pull/push the entire folder with root privileges using adb commands.

Sometimes system is just mounted as RO then you couldn´t modify it as simple as it is, in this case you can do it through a custom recovery once is mounted conveniently easing the task.

I´m not sure if it worth it but you also can do it through some tools, depending on the format of your ROM you could use this: https://xdaforums.com/t/windows-linux-mac-donate-superrs-kitchen-v3-2-1-3-3-10-2021.3601702/ or if system is compressed into a payload.bin you could use this: https://github.com/jamflux/SUR to the end the system will be repacked onto an image format that you could flash through fastboot.

Thank you, I'll see for it, but do you think that restoring to latest firmware solve my problem even after the IMEI number got erased!!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
IMEI is rarely really erased, it is overwritten by blank values (null).

What the stock ROM can do depends on the level of damage that qfil did in this specific partition but always is possible to recover it with the proper tool.
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
You mean I should search the keywords like IMEI restore tool!!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The tool linked will redirects to the version tool to use it in Linux, idea was not to link to the donation version app but the tool for Windows according the developer is discontinued, in Linux is as easy as to mount an image, then to do that you have two ways to choose from; search a tool for Windows that can do the job (I know some of them to unpack but not good enough to repack) or learn about how achieve it in Linux also you can use WSL2 in Windows, it will work too.

Edit: I didn´t try it with SUR tool (the 2nd linked), it can manage some image format, give it a try.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Yes. Also read about what QPST/qfil can do, If I don´t remember bad it also has this feature in-built.
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
I will see, but let me tell you that every tutorial I checked (earlier) , they were suggesting to restore IMEI via exposed framework, I installed it and, my phone bootlooped, even I have erased everything except internal storage, every ROM I am flashing goes to bootloop and I get a complete blue screen then my phone tries to boot again, every ROM I download and try after moving it to my phone , it bootloops, but I tried ZUI 3.5, Chinese version, it boots successfully but I can't understand the text because its in Chinese, and I am trying to flash the firmware again, but now, shorting method is not working to put it to EDL mode, neither fastboot command, and when I am going for lenovo downloader, it says cannot open raw file (the same firmware which I recently flashed and made my device almost completely functional), atlest I flashed TWRP just after recovering my device, but what should I do now??
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, to be honest I think that in every movement that you do you are messing more and more. IDK why you followed this without prevent that happening; Xposed doesn´t work this way, you firstly have to meet some minimal requirements to get the process to a good end, it´s not just a thing to flash-and-done otherwise the partition that stores IMEI may be wiped and unrecoverable anymore.

Also the Chinese ROM is discouraged to use it, most of Chinese devices with global ROM can switch to the Chinese ROM but not to the contrary way and you´d get stuck with.

In qfil you had an option to backup IMEI (QCN) you should have to use it at the very first time.

To which letters do you refer? is it in recovery? Isn´t there some custom ROM for your device? if so you should try it.
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
Yes, there are ROMs for my device, and I tried them, but even after being flashed successfully, each of them are giving blue screen after the zuk logo comes before booting to anything, I don't know, I flashed my device again and currently it is the start of the setup screen (I can't set it up because the screen is totally shattered and I will get it changed when I'd be allowed to go out), and I am not going to do anything to it till I get the screen replaced, but I am just not able to figure out why I see the blue screen after flashing any custom ROM via TWRP, whereas the Chinese version for ZUI worked, since you just told me about what I could have done with IMEI partition, I will check it via adb or fastboot commands (last time it was blank), its feeling like I am stuck with single ROM only.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, as I said you previously the Chinese ROM is not friendly to switch to other due to the incompatibility of the drivers used in the firmware that comes with a specific display for the Chinese region, this may be the reason why now there´s nothing projecting onto display and about that, Why do you think that the screen needs to be replaced, it could be due to the reason mentioned or in the process to reassemble the device some part got disconnected as a sort of false contact.
[General Questions and Answers] Austinredstoner:
Wait why was this thread unpinned [sticky thread] this is no longer a sticky thread why
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
okay, let me tell you that I have been facing this issue, I got really excited and flashed TW just after recovering device and flashed magisk, before the time I flashed the Chinese ROM, and I faced that issue, I have mentioned that I put TW recovery just after recovering the device, and I tried few ROMs, but none of them worked (only bluescreen when I try to boot to them after successful flash), I mean, the thing I want to mention is why I am able to flash things like TW recovery and magisk, if can't flash anything on my device, I could have tried other things also but I don't want to put more burden on this old dog, till I get it fixed.

And for your question regarding why I think its screen needs to get changed!! Because it broken completely on half upper part, although (I wonder how) it is functional leaving 5mm high part at the bottom which also starts to work some of the time.
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
And now I want to thank you that you are still replying to my posts, thank you very much, and now I want to ask,' isn't there anything that I can do to fix the problems, or my device is now stuck with a single android marshmallow ROM, and all I can do is to root it and install TW recovery!!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If there is not a custom ROM for your device then no much you can do, as you say is in MM so no treble support to try some GSI.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, in A10 partitions are dynamically mounted, some users report that is possible while the most say that it can´t, you should read this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/mount-system-as-rw-on-android-10-with-magisk-20-4.4081043/ there are some interesting point of view and in the post #40 an user claimed that they achieved.

As per the other workaround about to inject the files in the system image maybe you can try it compressing the sparse_chunk files into an only system image, it could be some tools, I saw some from RootJunky, and after of that you should unpack/repack it with this tool https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-windows-kitchen-crb-v2-2-1-update.3947779/
[General Questions and Answers] trueAK:
Let me tell you, there are a good number of ROMs for my device (but I really miss pixel experience, earlier the official ROM was available and I wanted it, but currently only unofficial), not many kernels though, and I want to ask that, 'being on a older ROMs (having an older version of the bootloader, affects the functionality of TWRP)??

I am on nougat ZUI (ZUI 2.5) now, and the time when I rooted my device 4 months ago and flashed TWRP, everything was working as it should be, will it work now??

And I also want to ask how to restore the IMEI number in the box of my phone?? I know you would hesitate to tell even if you know so all I want to request you is, 'can you please guide me where I can get the solution??'

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Of course TWRP will work as it was working before anyway TWRP is adapted/updated for custom ROMs from time to time I mean if development of custom ROMs stopped then TWRP also will stop at this point.

As per the IMEI recovering process only can say you that is incredible easy enough always that is recoverable I mean only in the case you didn´t do something extreme and this piece of hardware where IMEI is hardcoded wasn´t damaged but I can´t guide you on that so is a grey area where I never transit.

[General Questions and Answers] acasmc:
I have a question.

I'm using Sony Xperia ION, don't think that's relevant, but just to mention.

On stock ROM, and all stock base ROMs, including some other phone models, Arc S, One X, Sensation..., I always had one problem. In phone book, some contacts are missing. Even when checked "show all contacts" option. But in messaging, all contacts are there. Even those missing from phone book.

To get things more weird, on CyanogenMod based ROMs, and MIUI ROMs all contacts are there. In phone book, and in messaging.

How to figure out, what is the problem? Are CyanogenMod and MIUI ROMs reading phone book in some different manner then stock based ones?

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks.

Samsung S4 and Echoe Rom V5

Hi

I have an S4 and tried the ECHOE ROM V5 but had issues with no phone signal and even no provider recognised.

I see there is a recommendation that the stock modem be flashed after the rom

Then I note many issues for some that have flashed the modem

I am in Australia and wonder is the 'stock modem' the same world wide or do I need something specific

ECHOE Rom V3.1 works just fine and I have reverted to that but would like to keep up with the current offerings

[General Questions and Answers] cs098:
no need to root, but you need to have your boot loader unlocked.

Since you have a htc one go there.

http://www.htcdev.com

Unlike apple, companies like htc and sony, give you a easy and official way to unlock your phone's potential.

A tip, one thing I like to do, is flash a rom but a stock based (or in your case sense based) rom. Not only does it generally give you battery and performance increase without losing your out of the box experience, but usually roots your phone as well. I find this method much easier and less clunky than the normal way. Since you need to unlock the bootloader to get your kernel you will lose your warranty anyways.

Xposed, 3minit or BOTH!

I am new to Android devices but I am thoroughly enjoying the ability to customize my phone to my liking. I have tried several custom ROMs; Black Box, Wanam Lite and Bobcat. However, I have settled on Foxhound ROM, I find it to be much faster than my stock touch wiz and much more complete and stable than any of the previously mentioned ROMs. With that being said, I have been having a small issue with framework compatibility.

My installation went smooth enough, I am presently running Foxhound v2.0 on My Samsung Galaxy S4 i337m. I used Wanam xposed framework to configure my ROM's feature but, I have been unable to get the 4 way reboot to work. I checked, unchecked and check it again, I even performed a full wipe and reinstall of the ROM to no avail. I then installed 3minit framework 3.4.1 Ml1 FH and I was able to configure and get the 4 way reboot to work.

My question is, "Can I run both Xposed and 3minit frameworks concurrently without experiencing conflict issues in the future?

samsung galaxy s blaze root trouble

Alright, im an official noob here and I know theres been alot of posts about roots messing up, and solutions to fixing them. However, i currently have the samsung galaxy s blaze and rooted it to the custom rom from konane using the odis program, it said passed and auto rebooted my phone, but when it gets to the home screen where you touch the android to set up your phone like its brand new, when i hit the android bot all that happens is a message force closing a bunch of apps appear. i can get to the download mode to install new roms and i've tried to re root back to the stock rom but now my computer doesnt recognize my phone. i've downloaded and installed the samsung drivers from several different forums including the ones recommended here but still nothing. what im wondering is if theres a way to install the rom or driver from an sd card to the phone or something else that im missing, or is my phone just screwed? any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Can you please check my screen shots and yell me what u think?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
a couple of ways to check. If it is rooted, then you willl probably have a Magisk app or SuperSU installed. But, it is possible to have a rooted device, without the UI apps installed. My test would be to open a terminal window, or over ADB and type su nIOf it doesnt find the assemply, chances are it isn't rooted, but worst case, it may be partailally rooted and someone deleted the su assembly only.

The question I would ask is do you WANT the device rooted? If not, simply flash your stock bootloader to remove Magisk root. For SuperSU, I think there are some uninstall apps.

It is possible to unlock the bootloader, flash a rooted bootloader and then re-lock your bootloader. So that you are then rooted, with a locked bootloader.

EDIT: Also, didnt the old SuperSU not need to unlock the bootloader? its been a while since I used it, so I dont remember.
[General Questions and Answers] Adphxaz:
I didn't want it rooted.

I just had been getting a lot of strange behaviors on the phone.

Like I said I don't have the phone, however if there was something shady going on, I'd like to be aware.

Maybe an ex had done i

Didn't want it rooted nor did I try to root it.

I'm not even sure what the purpose of someone rooting it without me knowing would accomplish??
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Why someone may root your phone behind your back could range between "something to [play with"to "spy on their Ex". Or, it may just not be rooted, as phones do strange things without being rooted.

To be sure, and possibly to alleviate any unexplained behavior for your own peace of mind, maybe flashing the phone back to stock (and checking the bootloader is locked) may be good option for you. Finding yourdevice specific thread/forum would help in getting the instructions.
