[General Questions and Answers] SHSuperEddie:
I have no idea how to do this with Putty. Do you think you could give me some pointers on how to do it, please??
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Well, forgot about Putty. I thought that the LG was using some proprietary LG mode.

Here is a way to do a sanity test and maybe to proceed along differently.

This requires you to replace the Qualcomm/LG/Com port driver.

You replace it with a generic Zadig driver.

With such a driver you can use either bkerler https://github.com/bkerler/edl or my http://www.temblast.com/edl.htm

(Naturally, I recommend my native Windows EDL client.)

If nothing works or you decide to proceed differently you will need to reinstall the Qualcomm/LG/Com port driver.

Read the documentation on my webpage, download Zadig, "show all devices", use it to install a driver on 05c6/9008

First (and simplest test):

C:\>edl.exe /l

Do you get a couple of lines of numbers? Yes, good. No, try to go to a fresh download mode.

If it says no device found then you're not in EDL mode (but you would have discovered that in Zadig that there was no 9008).

Note: You can try the bkerler if you like. The arguments in the commands are all different.

Ok, so I really need some help. I have Redmi note 11 4g/selenes with china stock rom on it. There is literally no custom rom for mediated devices. On mifirm it says that I could use redmi 10 rooms but I suppose It wont work. Is there anything I can do, at least install play services ?

Hey, does anyone here have the RawProgram0 & Patch0 XMLs for QFIL Tool? I need them as I accidentally hard-bricked my phone into EDL Mode.

(I asked this in a thread post too, sorry about that)
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Those files are not universal, they are supposed to come with your firmware, although some devices don´t have them, in this case, you have to take some from other device with similar specs, and, either, try it as they are, or adapt it, or even better, create it, you may follow this guide https://www.droidwin.com/create-rawprogram0-xml-and-patch0-xml-files-unbrick-qualcomm-device/
[General Questions and Answers] triNg1895:
Hi,

I accidentally connected BAT+ and ACC wire to the ground and GND to 12V from Teyes CC3 to the battery while testing the android unit. This caused the fuse to blow. I then replaced the fuse and reconnected to the correct terminal, but the fuse keep blowing. It is probably shorted. Did I just ruin the unit or is it can be fixed? Thank you in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Ow, that sounds really bad. If you were really lucky there was an anti reverse polarity diode on the input and that blew shorted. You're going to have to open this up anyway, so open it and some photos, especially where the power comes in.
[General Questions and Answers] triNg1895:
Thank you for your response, Renate. Hopefully, I am lucky. Here are a few photos from the front and back of the board where the power comes in and overall of the board.

Happy Thanksgiving!
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
This is what you're looking for. Do you have a multimeter?

Check the ohms between the right side (side without bar) of the diode to a good ground (like the metal shield). Is it zero? Good, That means it's protection, not series. (OTOH, it could be worst case too,)

Check the ohms between left side (with bar) to a good ground. Is that zero?

Check between both sides of the diode, in both directions. Is it zero?

If everything is zero that could be good (or possibly bad).

Do this with the power supply wires disconnected.
[General Questions and Answers] triNg1895:
I checked as you suggested. I got ground from the antenna shield. I also did the continuity test. Somehow, it showed zero in the reverse and forward direction of the diode instead of 1 and some value in the forward direction. Probably the issue is from the didode? Please see the video, the continuity test from the 40th second.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
That looks all dead zero. The "1---" you see is just infinity.

Well, now you want to disconnect that diode, as carefully as you can.

If you had two soldering irons and a friend that might be the best way.

Hot air is usually used for rework but it would be tough to remove that without knocking the nearby components off.

Also, since that is a power path there is a lot of copper under there and it might be hard to get both sides melted.

With what I have, I would almost use a 1/4" wood chisel as close to the body of the diode as possible and angled into the diode. A gentle hit should break the lead without causing damage to the board.

If you had an Exacto with the flat end, that would be better.

Where there is room, I use a single edge razor and a light hammer.

You can also try scribing it repeatedly (and carefully) with a normal pointy Exacto.

When you get it removed, make your measurements again.
[General Questions and Answers] triNg1895:
I cut the lead and got a new measurement. 0ohm from the right lead (side without bar), about 500ohm from the left lead (the side with bar), and about 1200ohm between both leads. Please see the video below.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
That looks encouraging.

You know that cats have nine lives? Well, your device had two lives. One is gone already. Be very careful.

See if you can power it up (with the correct polarity!)
[General Questions and Answers] triNg1895:
Huray!!! It’s on! I’m so excited. Thank you so much, Renate. I’m about to give up and buy another one because the seller refused to take care of this. I’m so glad that I posted the question and you responded immediately.

Moreover, should I replace the diode or it should be fine okay?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Well, it's hard to say if it's worth the trouble of replacing. If you're sure of your soldering skills you could replace it, but it's not necessary.

Happy Thanksgiving!
[General Questions and Answers] triNg1895:
I will leave it that way then. It’s really tiny space. I’m not so confident about my soldering skill. Thank you again for your assistance!

Have a blessed holiday season!

Hello, I recently noticed that my phone's (android 12) video camera indicator always flashes on briefly before turning off, a few minutes after I turn my phone on. Is this normal or should I be concerned about this?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
As far as I know, you don't need to unlock bootloader to flash a firmware using LMSA.

If you modify the firmware, to match with your device, as you should know, official tools won't allow you, to flash it, because it's unsigned.

It must be a device that came from a carrier, and then was freed-up?, and probably someone, flashed a non-carrier firmware? Overwriting (deliberately?) the original firmware.

hello peeps , i know that there is a "secret" dialer code that is suppose to wipe your phone.

is there a uhhh , script (wrong word i know) that i can type in from twrp's terminal emulator that will do the same?

any help/direction is much appreciated ,

[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
If you are in TWRP (or any other recoveries) this simply sounds like doing a not so secret "full wipe" of all partitions. I would assume, that it does not really "wipe the data", but deletes the partition definition info. Not sure how deep a wipe you wish for and if you are trying to cover your tracks from the NSA. :cool:

However, maybe, reformatting and changing the partition format from say EXT4 to F2FS and then back to EXT4, may further overwrite the actual 1's & zeros. Maybe a reformat does rewrite the data. IDK

Another option, but not for TWRP, is using fastboot (never did it myself)

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you want to theme, then you should learn more about those apps (Corel, Adobe Lightroom, Gimp, Krita, or whatever).

Maybe you can put that icon over an image, as a watermark, I´m not good for theming.
[General Questions and Answers] DuskGolem:
Yes, that is correct. I did research before about the software and I learned about illustrator to be excellent for logo designing but I didn't have the software at hand. Actually, I am working on reviving an old theme so I will be re-using most of the resources. For any new functionality I will be creating new resources.

As for the methods I have tried, I have tried resolving the highlighted image into layers and replace the icon in the center but that doesn't work well since the higlighting overlay is actually surrounding the previous icon so even if I remove the icon itself the highlighing region still keeps its shape to accomodate the old icon and the new icon dimensions overlap with it which makes it look ugly.

Another thing I tried is creating a transparent white circle and blend it with the icon but that also doesn't work since I am unable to properly blend them. That is why I am asking for any help. Just the right technique or steps (need not to be in detail if you don't wanna) to achieve this will help me big time.

EDIT: nevermind, I figured it out, Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Good, and what finally you did?

And, if you don't care, Which method are you using to unpack/repack? I themed some versions lower than 3, in the past, but Carliv, for example, gives a huge size difference when repacked. Or you simple are putting, wither manually or flashing, the ui zip into the TWRP theme?
[General Questions and Answers] DuskGolem:
Nothing special, I just used circle shape overlay, painted it white (border and fill), adjusted the opacity in the blending options (took some trial and error) and that did it.

As for the size, I assume you are asking about image size instead of file size. Well, I used photoshop, icons from google's material font library (search google), adjusted manually the canvas and the icon size by comparing with existing twrp icons, packed everything into ui.zip using 7zip (any archiver will work, just use compression method store or deflate) and it worked fine. Now time to port the theme for twrp theme version 5.

P.S. For unpacking/ repacking Twrp img, I use osm0sis' awesome tool "Android Image Kitchen" available on xda. It works absolutely fine.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I wouldn't waste the time or effort. Even if you manage to get them working, they won't be worth using. 4.2.2 is not compatible with most of today's apps, most newer apps will cause the devices to be very slow or even cause crashes or random reboot.

hi,

I recently changed my phone to Motorola g42 and there's one thing that irritates me a lot.

In the past, each time I was working on the computer and read whatsapp or messenger notifications/messages that had come to these opened apps on my PC, the LED on my phone stopped blinking meaning that the notification has been read previously - Android 8 on that phone somehow knew that I already read the message on another device and cleared the notification.

This is is not happening on my new phone. Notifications are still there on the apps' badges and every time I read them on the computer, I have to read 'em on the phone too to clear the number of notifications.

Any clue what may cause it and how to solve this issue?

thanks

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Try an app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&hl=es_PY&gl=US, if the firmware contains other language than the current, then you should be able to.

Or, search for a firmware for your region, check the CSC compatibility, and, after to meet all the measurements (USB debugging, OEM unlock, bootloader revision, etc.) flash it through Odin.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can flash a ROM via TWRP or you can get a copy of a TWRP nandroid backup from someone else in this forum that has the exact same device model number as you have then restore that nandroid backup via TWRP.

Tip of the day:

Anytime you have a device that you install TWRP on, always, always, ALWAYS create a nandroid backup of your device via TWRP just as soon as you get TWRP installed and then store that backup in a safe location other than on the device itself where it will not get lost or wiped. Then, anytime you want to make a modification to your device or remove anything, always create a new backup before you make your modifications or before you remove/delete significant data. Then, if you run into problems, you can restore the backup then try again

i have an htc one m9. s-off , superCID , bootloader unlocked. i can get to download mode and to fastboot mode. problems ; in fastboot mode ( i.e. bootloader) my first option is to "reboot" instead of "hboot" which is normally there. choosing hboot would put me into fastboot mode.

phone is not recognized by p.c.

have tried to run a RUU without luck and the "0p6bimg.zip" sdcard method without luck.

also i have no recovery or at least it wont go to it. just get message that its unavailable and select up/down key to go back to bootloader.

any ideas on a fix to get fastboot mode back?

Howdy all, looking for some help or advice with phone models/roms because I'm sick of dealing with the absolute dogwater that is iOS and apple. I've been meaning to look into some options for an open source OS without a lot of the bloatware that is apparently on mainstream android OS's. I'm absolutely not an expert I've literally just poked around on google but a popular decent looking one seems to be LineageOS, I'm just wondering what a decent phone to run it on would be, or perhaps if there's an OS that's better for what I'm looking for, idk. I'm just sick of the gross display of manufactured obsolescence in smartphones, I just want a phone with simple but decent specs that will last a long time with a clean and utilitarian OS. preferably would like a headphone jack, decent/good battery life and good storage. everything else I'm willing to comrpomise and go a little lower end on. any suggestions or advice is very very very much appreciated as I really have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just atrociously sick of capitalism basically. thanks in advance (also if it's relevant, I'm from NZ so pretty much anything would have to be shipped over and the price would probably be pretty inflated).
