My own solution - Use VLC. Fixes the volume problem well - after you set the Audio Output to ES
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] Zola III:
Use Foobar2000 instead, VLC is bad when it comes to music.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] oatcooky:
Agreed. I reduced digital gain, installed Foobar2000 and enabled OpenSL ES audio, now music sounds incredible without having to do any fancy processing like with Viper or whatever. Too bad the app UI is ugly as sin.

After installing foobar2000 open it and tap the spanner on top right corner. Go to Advanced and slide the button against "Use OpenSL audio output" to green.

Also you can adjust the Preamp settings in Replay Gain in the above settings.

Hope this helps.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h0m:
Hello there!

TL;DR: Should I buy a SIM locked Moto X Play?

In the first place, I'm not an expert at all. I used to install alternative ROMs (CyanogenMod until today) but that's it. So thanks to this great community of experts to share their tips.

I opening a new thread today because I'm going to buy a Moto X Play (I don't know yet the exact model) on Craigslist very soon (in a couple of hours actually). The phone is lock on the Bell network (Canada) according the seller. I plan to root it, to change the recovery software and install an alternative ROM. Do I need some extra steps to unlock the SIM? Is there an easily/cheap way to doing that? Maybe is there a nerdy trick?

If someone could share how s/he's unlock the SIM of his/her phone that will be very helpful.

Have a good day!

[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] grniyce:
There is no effective RUU restoration that works once you follow the root, twrp, processes listed here on XDA. I've restored the original recovery.img, still no go. I've tried the full RUU available on HTC to no success. So be forewarned.

However, there is a way to recover your device. I'm no developer by any means, but this is the process which a kind user informed me of, so I'm sharing it at top level. See his comment below which is the true saving grace.

My 530 is a MetroPCS variant, so I went to the HTC site and downloaded RUU_A16_UL_M60_DESIRE_SENSE70GP_TMUS_TMOUS_1.01.531.25.exe

Then I used a RUU decryption tool, and extracted the files mentioned (boot.img) and (system.img).

I made sure TWRP worked on my handset still, which it did.

I put both files boot.img and system.img on the handset through the USB cable. I also copied the BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip to the same location.

Then I chose Install in TWRP, and chose "Image" instead of "Zip". It's a little box bottom right in TWRP on the Install screen.

First I installed the boot.img followed up by the system.img. I almost clicked reboot, and TWRP gave me this notice "Warning no Operating System installed." ---

...so I remembered the BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip file I copied over, and I went and installed it through TWRP.

I then rebooted the phone, and it rebooted a couple times, but then VOILA it was back to perfect, all data wiped of course, but fully rooted and ready to go.

Here is a link to the files I extracted using the RUU decryption tool. It is the T-Mobile variant, but works perfect for MetroPCS as well. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4K9JR5eVMSnWmtOMlV3Tkx1V2M?usp=sharing
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] upperdecker:
Which carrier is your 530 from?

If you can boot in to TWRP you can install the system.img and boot.img from the install menu, press on install image once you are in the install menu, locate your system.img and choose the sytem partition boot for boot partition.

You can extract the system.img & boot.img using RUU decrypt tool
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] grniyce:
Thanks, and MetroPCS. I'm going to try and decipher what you just typed and see if I can restore the handset, because it's stuck atm.

I flashed the exposed framework but my phone wasn't working right so I did twrp restore from a backup that I had previously used however now my phone is STUCK ON THE HTC logo screen.

I downloaded your files, followed your instruction and OMG! Thank You sooooo much I'm back to normal AND WITH SU. Thanks again!!

WARNING careful when messing with exposed framework its works but my phone had issues
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] terry_inniss:
Thanks grmiyce

Woooogh! That info was sooo helpful. I was able to restore my phone ( HTC Desire 530 - TMobile ) to normal behaviour after it was stuck at the HTC logo for 2 days. How did it get there?

Well , long story short, I installed TWRP , did not make a Nandroid backup, and installed super su v2.46. Then to help fix the problem I installed super su 2.74 , all from twrp, but that did not help the situation. I wiped all that could be wiped from TWRP but that did not help.

I tried to install my stock ROM but could not find it in a zip format so that was a failure. I was considering a custom ROM (and still am) but to this point I am uncertain as to what ROM I can use with minimal to Zero issues ( i don't wanna brick the phone). I'll gladly accept any suggestions.

Anyways I came across this info and it saved my life...I am so happy.

Also as i am back to square one, I still have to try to network unlock this phone, it is locked with TMobile device Unlock app. I have paid for an unlock service and i was told that it was good to go but i could not get the device unlock app to reach to the 'permanent unlock' screen so i can unlock the phone. And that is why i was trying to root to uninstall the app and reinstall it since it was a system preinstalled app.

Btu anyways , I'll have to figure that out, at least the phone is back up now..

Thanks.

So did anyone end up figuring out how to unroot this phone? Have to send it in for a warranty repair, and need to restore it back to stock settings but only seem to find horror stories like OP's, when it comes to actually trying to do it. Normally I never end up having to unroot a phone, so didn't bother seeing if it was possible ahead of time. Hopefully someone knows how to do this.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] yurais:
First dsclaimer you find in almost every rooting thread is:

Your Warranty is now VOID

So, it is the risk you just took when decided to root your phone...

sorry mate
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] m3gapxl:
Yeah, I've seen that disclaimer multiple times. However, the warranty portion of my post is non-consequential and unrelated to my real question: *has anyone found a way to unroot the phone successfully, yet?* HTC explicitly states on their website that unlocking the boot-loader doesn't void your warranty, in and of itself. Only damage that occurs as a result of said rooting (e.g: hard-bricking your phone by installing the incorrect ROM or over-clocking the CPU).

That being said, (according to articles like these: motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/jailbreaking-iphone-rooting-android-does-not-void-warranty) they wouldn't be able to deny me service, even if they wanted to. Not that you asked, but my phone has a manufacturer defect (faulty usb port) and is increasingly becoming more unstable; the root had nothing to do with it.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm simply looking for help in the other matter. I'll keep it in mind when contacting them.

HTC Desire 530 (Canada - Freedom Mobile) Bricked(?)

Hey guys,

I successfully unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp, installed supersu and obtained my root. This being the first time i've really ever used an android phone, I forgot to make a backup at this point, and I moved ahead. First thing I tried doing was uninstalling some of the default HTC apps. I downloaded app remover - started uninstalling, seemed to work fine, deleted a bunch of the files out of the recycle bin and my phone reset and since then will not load past the HTC boot screen. I let it sit over night and nothing changed, I've tried this method, i've tried the RUU files on the htc website. I'm pretty sure I need to flash a custom ROM or find an official rom at this point (Which seems near impossible). I know it's my fault for not backing up, and this phone isn't my main phone or anything, but it's totally driving me nuts at this point that I can't fix it. Anyone have any suggestions?

From the download mode screen :

[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] bnewland:
RUU from HTC says phone wrong model, TWRP says right model, update fails!

I'm getting an update available notice on my HTC Desire 530 from MetroPCS. It says that "Software update: 1.36.1550.14 (66.88 MB) This update contains critical security updates and system enhancements to improve overall device performance."

I'm currently on 1.36.1550.5 so I tell it to Install now. It downloads, reboots into recovery, which is TWRP 3.0.2, and when I look at the log, it failed.

"This package is for "htc_a16ul" devices; this is a "a16".

M60QCT.02.003.021

E:unknown command [set_err_msg]

This package is for "htc_a16ul" devices; this is a "a16""

When I am in download mode, it says it is htc_a16ul.

So, I tried downloading the update from HTC on my computer. I grabbed this file:

RUU_A16_UL_M60_DESIRE_SENSE70GP_TMUS_MetroPCS_US_1.36.1550.14.exe

It fails basically with the same error.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.vandelay:
Seems like this shouldn't be difficult, but I've been struggling for a day. I tried copying other zip packages for the same devices with no luck. Flashing the images from fastboot works well as expected.

I'm building a custom version of AOSP for Nexus 6p and want to produce a single zip to be flashed from TWRP. I have new system, boot, and vendor images. I tried copying an official OTA script, like this:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/boot");
package_extract_file("system.img", "/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/system");
package_extract_file("vendor.img", "/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor");

This resulted in errors "cannot mount /system /vendor". Note the stock OTA doesn't use this method for system and vendor, it (as well as Cyanogenmod) uses something like this:

block_image_update("/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/system", package_extract_file("system.transfer.list"), "system.new.dat", "system.patch.dat");

But how to build the system.new.dat system.patch.dat files??

I also tried the "package_extract_dir("system", "/system");", which worked without errors in TWRP but now has boot loops.

Clearly, there should be a simple way to do this as I've already got the working images built. Any help is very appreciated! Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lesdense:
I'm shopping for a used Galaxy 7 Edge on swappa.com. I'm on the Verizon network in the US. What questions do I need to ask a seller to know whether or not that phone can be bootloader unlocked? I know that Exynos 7 Edge's have unlockable bootloaders but I don't know how to get that information from a seller. I believe that the "international" model of the 7 Edge has an unlockable bootloader (are all International Models Exynos?). Yes, I've read as many threads on this forum as seem relevant to my question. My key issue is how to verify with confidence that a particular 7 Edge has an unlockable bootloader when all I can do is to communicate with a seller via Internet? Thanks.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AliHB:
So a friend of mine had a problem where facebook stickers kept showing up in the gallery. The solution was simple, create a .nomedia file and put it into the com.facebook.orca folder in internal storage.

But since id forgotten initially where to put .nomedia, i put it in the root directory, and then the android/data directory.

Now my gallery is empty, even though i have deleted the .nomedia files since then.

I cleared the app data, disabled it, restarted, enabled it. Waited for a while, but nothing seems to bring them back. Not just gallery, but to any app.

Any suggestions, short of flashing?

Edit: Files in my external storage are visible. Files in my internal storage, that were there before i created .nomedia, are not visible. Files in my internal storage that were created afterwards are visible.

So its like my older whatsapp images are invisible and newer ones are visible.
[General Questions and Answers] MentalFacility:
Phones current state: soft brick?, boots into recovery automatically.

How I got there:

I have finally destroyed the screen on my GT-i9198 S4 mini by dropping it, digitizer is not working and the screen shows no sign of life. The only way i know it boots android is that the buttons light up and it vibrates for facebook messages.

My goal was to have adb debugging enabled so I could vnc into it to get some personal data. (although I can 'adb pull' it off but I would like to vnc just because I need to figure out what to do with the recovered files, and I don't know what I need in the first place, probably conversations on viber and sms)

I have the team win custom recovery and cyanogenmod 13 (Marshmallow) on it.

Adb functions in recovery :) and I modified the build.prop and default.prop as per "Enable usb debugging with adb" tutorials.

My problem was that default.prop got overwritten every time I boot android. So I extracted boot.img, split it using AIK (Android Image Kitchen) modified Default.prop in the ramdisk and repacked it. When it came to flashing the image, Fastboot did not work (stuck on waiting for available devices or something similar). Rather then figuring out if I could make it work I decided to try odin, but I could not find much on how to flash boot.img specifically(didn't have time to do proper research ether) so I converted it to a flashable file and did what I would usually do with cfw, hit ap and browse to the file and flash it. (screenshot on imgur RQ9f6gX.png)

Now the phone automatically boots into recovery and I can adb into it.

I didn't have time to figure out how odin works, and I can't really find any good explanations ether.

I guess my question is, what did I make odin do? Is it my uneducated use of odin that caused this or is the boot.img bad? Or did I just get this whole thing wrong with extracting the ramdisk and flashing it back? If someone could educate me that would

My next question would be, how would I put it back to a usable state without formatting personal data(e.g. viber messages)?

The way I got the boot.img maybe something that is wrong aswell, I will explain how I did that later, late for work D: !!
