[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chafouin:
I'm thankful for any help, sorry if I was dissmisive. I'm not aware of flashing through ADB, just sideloading.

I can flash via fastboot, but can't right now because of my locked bootloader.

Presently I can sideload via ADB in recovery (which amounts to the same as flashing from recovery if I understand correctly ?) but any other flashing/thinkering via fastboot/ADB is verboten because my bootloader is locked.

If you're thinking of something else I'd be glad if you could detail your thinkings and the steps I'd need to make :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
[MENTION=3610395]chafouin[/MENTION] you just reminded me that Google is posting full OTAs. At least for the Android N developer previews. So theoretically you could factory reset from recovery and sideload an OTA. OTAs don't require an unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan187:
Just download the latest Rom from google site and run flashall file. Simple.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
How do you propose he do that with a locked bootloader?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan187:
The stock rom? Why is that a problem? Put the device in fastboot and load. Locked bootloader does not allow custom roms. It allows stock.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
In my experience *on the 5x* locked bootloader doesn't allow you to flash factory images.

I haven't tested with latest bootloader, but that has been he case with past bootloaders.

Other manufacturers and phone models handle things differently.

You can however now flash stock using the FULL OTA provided on the same factory image site. In that case you would use adb sideload, not fastboot.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan187:
Hmm I flashed mine without unlocking bootloader...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
Have you tried factory reset from TWRP?

If I were you I wouldn't try to flash to stock unless as last resort. Locked bootloader with TWRP installed is better diagnostic situation that locked bootloader with stock recovery installed. If you try to flash to stock it is too easy to overwrite your TWRP with stock recovery (it happens behind the scenes)

That is ok, if you are out of options, but I would exhaust all other options first.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
You cannot flash the factory images with a locked bootloader. Google it. Look at Google's own documentation.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan187:
Sorry, my mistake. Mine must have been unlocked. This is my first Nexus so I'm used to the fact that factory images can be loaded with locked bootloader.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
On what phone? I've never heard of that.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan187:
I've done it recently on LG G4 and BlackBerry PRIV where I used flashall command.

Neither has a possibility for bootloader unlock.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
I've had other phones that allow flash if things are signed (which factory images are on those phones).
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chafouin:
How would you suggest I do that ? TWRP and my current state doesn't let me use Install or Sideload to flash stock images, only custom ones. Flashing stock fails/stops right away because of a missing MD5 file I believe ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chafouin:
OK so managed to get a PC and go the TOT way, but it doesn't boot past the Google logo :/ Still have access to fastboot mode, but bootloader is obviously still locked and on the downside TWRP is gone ... any ideas ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
The tot should have worked. Maybe it's a hardware issue.

TWRP wasn't doing you any good anyway. Now you have stock recovery and can try sideloading the OTA.

If that doesn't work you should probably contact Google to get a replacement.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chafouin:
Yes, thanks for the advice :). Which OTA should I sideload though ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
I would do the latest N preview. It's a pain to find though let me look for the link, I saved it somewhere...

Here: https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html#ota-images

Once you have that flashed and can unlock the bootloader you can fastboot any version you want.

Again, since you didn't do anything specific to get in this situation and the TOT didn't work in guessing that you are dealing with a hardware issue. But sideload the OTA and let us know how it goes.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chafouin:
The sideload worked !! You're a lifesaver, can't thank you enough for your time and help :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
Good to hear. Happy fishing.

Hi. Like to ask something about what appears in the picture. I made the folder but deleted by mistake. I created a new folder. How do I lock or secure it in some way; again can be deleted by mistake. Also read about creating hidden or personal folder. How is this; Is in File manager; I do not want to cloud storage. I would like the file is on the device. I can not find the settings Secret or Confidential .What function must do just to lock or secure some files / folders;

Friendly greetings - Alkis :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Anunay.j:
You can put it in the /system partition. But you can delete it by remounting the system partition as r/w (root required) or you can chmod it to r/w only for root and place it anywhere. DO NOT PLACE IT IN ROOT directory.

Hi, I'm using PokémonGO + Xposed PoGo joystick and sometimes the joystick app closes and then starts again, but some other times it can't start at all and I have to close PoGo, start the joystick and open the game again. I tried using AppSettings (Xposed module) and putting the joystick app on "Resident" but it doesn't stop it from crashing.

No sim card issue after flashing rom?

Hi,

I have the same issue with this rom as i had with the CM12.1, which this one is based on.

Both don't seem to flash the modem firmware for my simcards, so no service, no simcard recognized.

I tried flashing with current version of TWRP, and previous version (2.8), totally wiped phone before installation, so it was clean, unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, flashed SU (also tried different versions) and then ROM's.

Both have the same outcome, NO sim... Tried several "No SIM fixes" found online, but to no effect...

I have the 5015D dual-sim version. Any suggestions? :confused:

Thanks in advance, T :fingers-crossed:

HI Guys xdxxd

Hello: D very good ROM, and I have a doubt, do not know if they could be resoled, my question is what happens if I install the ROM RR v 5.8.5 in Alcatel OT POP 3 (5015a)?? :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Blooorp:
Did anyone manage to encrypt the phone with this ROM?

I tried a few times and it always failed after a minute of loading, forcing me to reset the system.

I tried to free up some place after /data by reducing it's block size as some people recommended elsewhere but /data and /sdcard are on the same block. I tried anyway and it failed again the same way.

I have restored my files and stopped trying but if anyone has managed to do it or have any suggestions that might help, would be great to hear :)

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgrzebacz:
Hi guys.

I have problem with my Huawei Ascend Mate 7. I bought it with a bootloop with a view to repare it but it isn't all so rosy. When I'm trying to install manually stock system there are some weird things.

When I am holding power, volume up and volume down without so card it starts updating and of course end with an error after 5%. When I am doing it with sd card but with unpacked update it also starts updating and of course end with and error after 5%. And now is the most weird thing. When I am doing it when on sd card is only 'dload' folder with an update inside that folder, the manual start (holding power, volume up and down) doesn't work. The phone is rebooting with a little lag on a Huawei logo.

Do you have any ideas how to reinstall rom on this phone?

[MENTION=7026648]AlaskaLinuxUser[/MENTION] I went through the post twice or thrice. I have a better and clearer concept about governors now. But I have a confusion. Is there a way to create my own CPU governor? Is there any such thing as creating own governor?:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Absolutely, positively the best governor question I've ever been asked.

Yes.

You most certainly can make your very own governor. Obviously, the original kernel builders made the first governors, and so many govs exist because users made more. Typically, to write one from scratch would take strong c or c++ programming skills.

However, a good place to start would be to edit an existing governor to suit your liking. A lot of trial and error is required, as well as many testing trial runs.

If I get the chance, perhaps later I can point out a few govs that are simpler to understand the code, and point a few things out for you, but you are welcome to dig around a bit.

Off the top of my head, minmax might be a good one to look at.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Also, here is a repository of a bunch of govs, check here:

https://gitlab.com/alaskalinuxuser/Kernel_Tweaks

And take a look at performance and powersave, and compare them to minmax and lionheart. This hopefully will give you a general idea of how a gov works, then perhaps we can talk about it a little more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SoapDev2018:
Unlimited thanks might not be enough. Kudos! I'll go through them all, try to get a grasp over them and post queries accordingly:):)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks, but building govs is a bit high level and advanced stuff. I'm no expert, in the past, I have only done small modifications to govs to get them to work with the kernels I was working on. :D

A good place to take a look is to download the conservative gov and the lionheart gov. Open both in a program like diffuse or other line by line comparing program and you can see how the lionheart governor was made from the conservative governor. Typically, any gov maker is just modifying one of the 5 "original" govs (performance, powersave, ondemand, conservative, or userspace).

By comparing the conservative and lionheart govs, you can see the real changes were these three things:

1. Changing the frequency up and down thresholds.

#define DEF_FREQUENCY_UP_THRESHOLD	(80)
#define DEF_FREQUENCY_DOWN_THRESHOLD	(20)

2. Changing what was used to measure idle time. In the conservative gov it is u64, in the lionheart it is cputimer.

static inline u64 get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy(unsigned int cpu, u64 *wall)
{
u64 idle_time;
u64 cur_wall_time;
u64 busy_time;

vs.

static inline cputime64_t get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy(unsigned int cpu,
cputime64_t *wall)
{
cputime64_t idle_time;
cputime64_t cur_wall_time;
cputime64_t busy_time;

3. Changing the sampling rate determination from a math formula (conservative) to a set flat amount (lionheart):

/*
* conservative does not implement micro like ondemand
* governor, thus we are bound to jiffes/HZ
*/
min_sampling_rate =
MIN_SAMPLING_RATE_RATIO * jiffies_to_usecs(10);
/* Bring kernel and HW constraints together */
min_sampling_rate = max(min_sampling_rate,
MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER * latency);
dbs_tuners_ins.sampling_rate =
max(min_sampling_rate,
latency * LATENCY_MULTIPLIER);

vs.

min_sampling_rate = 10000;
dbs_tuners_ins.sampling_rate = 10000;

So you can see how you could edit at least #1 or #3 to change the way this governor functions, and learn a little about how it works. :D

Another option is to utilize the userspace gov. It is written to allow the user of the phone to specify what cpu frequencies that they want. Almost all kernels support the userspace gov, and you as a user can just specify what cpu frequency you want by writing it to a certain file. This will require root permission, typically. So, if you program in another language, say python, shell scripting, c++, c, java, etc., you can use an app that you make for Android to control this file, and be your own governor. This is a slow and somewhat backwards method, but it may give you an idea of what you might like to change in a governor.

Hope that helps!

Yes and no!

Microsoft has abandoned lumia 820 updates long time ago so 99% there would be no more updates but in that 1 percent they may release an update which contains new bootloader and overwrite the unlocked one. In that case depend on the new mechanism the solutions can vary ?

If anyone is getting the Bluetooth issues after upgrading (it disables itself/needs to have flight mode switched on and off etc.) I think it's an issue with the latest build that update is sending (I think the last 3 numbers of the version number are 4xx (469?))

With a bit of experimentation (I have a couple of test 820 boards that have broken sim slots) I found that Technical Preview 10.0.14393.67 seems to work OK (most likely with other issues, but Bluetooth is OK) - this is the one you get by signing up for fast loop at all stages during the upgrades :)

EDIT - Turns out you need to perform a full restore once you've updated to .67 to get Bluetooth working again.

One of these three command revived my phone and set the screen to red screen with Nokia logo:

I turned off the phone by detaching the battery and then I reattached it. Execute this command, then connect the phone to laptop.

where my phone just went blank, i assume somethings wrong with the bootloader and reflashed the bootloader again(with Engineering-SBL3-Lumia-820.bin)

[Remix OS for PC] modaifallah:
If NVidia cooperated with Android x86 team to provide a way for end users to install the proprietary drivers, we will get full featured experience from our GPUs. I'm imagining a scenario of a root application or an application pre added to Android x86 and its forks that can download the needed files and place them in system. Also the kernel should be aware how to use the newly added driver. Nouveau and similar one for AMD actually degrades the performance too much. It also overheats and it won't work for all GPU cards. So I made a petition on change.com for this. We need +10k signatures so that we can contact NVidia and AMD to help the android x86 team achieve the change and be able to use the drivers.
