I have only one thing to say to you, pal!

.

.

.

YOU ARE THE MAN!!! :)

I never could get into that spot! I read to release and press again the Power Button one time. But it was YOUR instruction to do it multiple times that got me in there!

T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U !!!

This is my one phone (no landline either) and so I needed it to work!

FYI, I did click the "Thank You" button. I know that affects users' rating and you certainly deserve it! I know it's a small thing to you, but to me, you just saved me BIG TIME, my friend!!! :)

I also installed the TWRP Update and it works flawlessly so far. Great work!

Question: In one of the TWRP's I used years ago, there used to be an option to create backups in the CWM format. Frankly, ecery time I have tried to restore from a TWRP format, the Restore failed, but I have always had success using CWM (dead) and CWM/PhilZ. I wish TWRP backing up in that format as an option would make a comeback! Any chance od that ever happening again?

I do still have one issue, since you obviously code, if you'd be so kind as to help me???

Timeline: The phone worked fine in all aspects before Rooting it.

After Rooting it, I had this issue.

I then tried a Factory Reset and got stuck in the Bootloop.

I then did what you said and got to my Android Home Screen, but now the issue is still there.

Issue: When I boot into Android, I get the following message;

"LGSmartcardService has stopped"

.....and I cannot use my External SD Card (TWRP sees it fine, I Flashed SuperSU from it again just now).

I have Googled my brains out and simply cannot find any suggestions, except to perform a Factory Reset, which I did and that's what put me into the Bootloop and I reset the way you said and now it boots up okay, except that error message is still there.

I have not put any apps on the phone or anything. It's factory fresh (except for Rooting it).

I hope I'm not violating any rules by posting this, but the page I used to Root it has a real small downloadable file called "V20-Root.zip" that contains everything, including that Batch files with the steps that they perform in them. It's here, just in case you would bless me by taking a look and seeing if there's something to note. I am not a coder, but do understand some basics, but couldn't see anything that would cause this sort of problem. I did NOT install the ROM, because it's for Sprint ONLY and I have an AT&T (Unlocked, using MetroPCS) H910. Here's the link:

Thank You Again, SO MUCH!!! :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phoenix591:
CWM and philz have basically gone so at some point the TWRP team removed that option .

If you do want to try a factory reset, try the default wipe in twrp.

Something else that might fix it: installing a different rom like Alpha or SuperV20
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeuszoos:
To Both Phoenix & I95,

Thank you both for responding! And no rudeness intended, but I did everything I could think of. I Formatted Data, Wiped Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, etc., etc..

Also, it's not an "exfat" problem, because the card worked fine when I first bought the phone. This started after Rooting. Now it won't even see that it's there, except in TWRP.

The error happens when it boots up. I then tap to "Close the App". It does not seem to reload it. I cannot access the card at all, ever (except in TWRP).

And again, understand that as I said, the SD Card was working in Nougat on this phone. This happened after I Rooted it following the OP in the thread I pasted into my post. But I couldn't see anything in the batch files you run that would cause this.

I also now have another problem, this time with AdAway. I am Rooted, but when AdAway gets to the "Applying hosts file" part (after downloading and "parsing and merging"), it fails, saying "Copying of hosts file failed".

As for flashing a ROM, I don't even know if that's possible with this phone, because of all the crap you have to go through just to Root it and I definitely need Root.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

I95,

You make the Alpha ROM for the V20? Is it for the H910 as well?

Question: I assume it's a Zip? If so, is that where I just go into TWRP and do the following;

TWRP >> INSTALL >> ZIP FILE >> SWIPE TO INSTALL

Does it matter which Security Patch I have? I am running the following:

H910 10c (Nougat 7.0)

If I'm right so far, do I then just Flash SuperSU again in TWRP to get Root back?

Does yours come with the crucial Gapps files (Play Store, Play Services, etc.)?

I apologize for the awkward question, but which one do you think is the better ROM? Alpha or SuperV20, for someone like me?

Thank You!!!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeuszoos:
2) It isn't SmartSettings. Its LGSmartcard Service and because of the error I does not see my Ext SD Card. Except in TWRP.

3) I wasnt blaming Rooting. I was just stating the timeline. My Ext SD worked fine until I Rooted. Remember on these phones its a long process which is why I provided the link. :)

Note: Just as an FYI and meant politely, I am comfortable Flashing ROMS. I have Flashed many of them both through Odin (Samsungs) and on ASUS (using Zips). I just have never come across having to go through such a long procedure to get a Custom Recovery on and Root a phone involving running Terminal Emulator in Android and running Batch files which run a list of commands each (3 of them) etc..

Seriously, go look at it and download and unzip the V20-Root Zip file (its small) and you'll see what I mean! :)

My fear was that since it was a specialized Root method that flashing a Custom ROM might mess something up that it would still need. But I do trust your word and tomorrow morning I will search for your Alpha ROM and give it a go.

As for AdAway, I've used it for a while now and do have the latest version (v3.3). It works until it tries to Write the new HOSTS file then errors.

Personally I think theres something funky with the Root. Rooted apps will run and I grant permission with SuperzSu and the Root Check app says I am Rooted, but (for example) this is happening in AdAway and my File Managers won't allow Root maneuvers. They ask for Root and I grant it, but the app won't Write in the System. Even Root Explorer, which will Write there freaks out when I tap to Mount it as R/W.

Something funky is going on I think so maybe its just best to go and install your ROM, as I am familiar with ROM installs via Zip Flash in Custom Recoveries.

If you feel like it and just to make sure I am in the right place, please give me the link for the instructions and download link for my H910-10c (Nougat) phone?

You mentioned Oreo. I would gladly do that, but Oreo for this phone cannot be Rooted yet from what I've heard and I must have Root to do the things I do. I am disabled and must run everything, including my laptop and server and a ton of other functions from my phone and in bed and some of the apps require Root. Or have you created a Rooted Oreo ROM?

I want to thank you very much (and anyone else) for taking the time out of your day to help me! You'll never know how much it is appreciated!!!

God Bless You!

Hello everyone,

I want to buy an 2din Android head unit as christmas present. I had checked some ebay offers, but I'am totaly confused about all the units which are available on the market. Maybe someone can help me out to find the right one? A few sugestions would be nice :good:

It should support:

Android auto

GPS navigation

DVD support

rear USB plug

updateable to newer android versions

price max. $160

How about this one?

ebay item no.: 162236269887 (sorry, can't post an external direct link as a new member on xda)

Thank u guys a lot for ur help

sry for my bad english ;) :eek:

greetings

Michael
[Android Auto General] miwu23:
no sugestions which one is recommendable?:confused::crying:
[Android Auto General] doitright:
Well... I recommend NOT THAT UNIT.

Unfortunately, if you want something that isn't complete garbage, you're going to be spending a bit more than your target price.

1) NONE of the aftermarket chinese Android head units will support Android Auto, but *some* will be able to run an open source re-implementation of Android Auto called "Headunit for Android Auto" -- http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/android-4-1-headunit-android-auto-t3125252

2) Thing about running "Headunit for Android Auto", is that it requires certain hardware video codecs to be available, which I *understand* to mean that ONLY the head units running INTEL SoFIA SoC will have. In other words, just to get off the ground with your requirements, you will have to aim your sights at the *BEST* chinese head units.

3) For a moderate price bump ($40), I suggest that you narrow your focus to the ones that ship with 2GB of RAM. For example, any of these: https://www.carjoying.com/new-android-car-radio/quad-core-2-din-android-car-audio.html -- you will note that you will be looking at a price of around $300 US.

If you want paid for real Android Auto support that is guaranteed to work consistently, then you need to set your sights on the more mainstream brands of head units that are carried by big box stores. For example, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc. Of course with those, you'll be looking at a very significant price jump, even for their LOWEST END models.
[Android Auto General] CadillacMike:
definitely get a unit with 2GB of RAM

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] SteadyDisorder:
I tried to reset P9 lite lately, but no matter how I do it, it always does a soft reset. So far I tried wiping through eRecovery, from settings and using special dialer code. Is there any way to perform a full, hard reset?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] LiaquateRahiman:
Do you have a custom recovery like TWRP?...If yes, do a factory reset from there...if not, go to settings>>advanced settings>>backup&reset then tap on factory data reset.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] SteadyDisorder:
This only does a soft reset... My phone is not rooted so I don't have TWRP, only stock Huawei recovery
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Potato997:
I think the best way to do a full reset is to flash the update.app through the three buttons
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lars1110:
I've unlocked my bootloader but I am stock with no root. I haven't done anything yet because I'm waiting for twrp and Roms to mature a bit before I dive right in. Does anybody know if it's safe to update and keep the unlocked bootloader?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lars1110:
I know it should be safe to do the full image flash from a computer using fastboot. I am specifically talking about the ota
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Yes, it's safe to take the OTA as long as your bootloader is already unlocked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] juliend:
Yes, I installed it with no problem. Boot loader is still unlocked, and the new move gestures are mostly OK.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Mike01680:
I lost the ability to use the native Hotspot with my unlimited data plan on Verizon. It appears the update closed the workaround where you could use network refresher and bypass the provisioning check.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lars1110:
Awesome thanks everybody about to do the OTA now
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
Damn that sucks. I'll be avoiding it for now then. Really don't want to root. I like android pay. But I need tethering
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mdonnelly1127:
You can update... The OTA didn't work on my phone so I had to sideload it through ADB, still unlocked and worked like a charm

I thought the Verizon pixel couldn't unlock the bootloader. Is that true?

Sent from my Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] v2.2v:
You can before this update that was just released. You have to unlock before taking update or you won't be able to unlock. Once you unlock you can still update with no problem
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pTeronaut:
There is a tool that can force unlock the bootloader (depixel8?), but the exploit that it uses has been closed with this update.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
You can if your on 7.1 but not if your on 7.1.1
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Scott:
EDIT: I misread the posting. It is locked in 7.1.1.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
Really?? The news has been all over that the 7.1.1 update patched dePixel8. He even posted on his website about it and said to not ask for further support. I assumed he didn't have a pixel so wasn't going to spend any more time on it. From my understanding the first method was very simple for them to figure out.

Please reply if you can find the post this will be big for everyone!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] hypnotiqphil:
You can unlock the bootloader with the dePixel8 method
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
Ad nauseum to the can you unlock or not. The latest update from Verizon makes the Verizon model locked. Period. If you haven't unlocked already, don't update to 7.1.1. If you plan to unlock. Depixel8 DOES NOT work for verizon pixel once the 7.1.1 update has been applied. If you unlock.... Don't relock. End of story. Stop with the round and round.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
I'm pretty sure you can root, change the build.prop to allow tethering, unroot, then install a custom kernel with the safetynet bypass feature and still use android pay.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] canemaxx:
So taking the OTA and flashing boot to root after will work if I'm understanding everything I've read this far? Also I have been unable to find the build specific for 7.1.1 for Verizon to download.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Mightym83:
Is this true? If so where is the post to someone doing this exact thing?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
I'm not sure that there is one. I'm a vzw user with an udp and I've got hotspot working with the build.prop edit which requires root. There's been a number of people talking about how they got AP to work with an unlocked bootloader by using a custom kernel as long as they aren't rooted. It's certainly possible to unroot without having to factory reset and loose changes like a build.prop edit. I simply imagined putting the situations together. I could try it myself this weekend when I have some time to sit down at my computer.

Personally, I don't care about AP nearly as much as I do root so i haven't bothered. I'm hoping to accomplish both setups with a dual boot situation but I'm waiting for twrp to get a little more refined before I bother trying. PSA: Whatever you do, just don't relock the bootloader trying to get safety net to pass unless you're absolutely sure it's what you want and your system is completely stock.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
I don't think this would be possible. It would also risk brick.

In order to use Android Pay, you will have to root, make changes, flash a custom kernel (to remove root) and THEN re-lock bootloader. Android pay does not work with an unlocked bootloader.

I would not re-lock your bootloader after doing all of that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Mightym83:
I never planned to relock the bootloader. Android pay does work with an unlocked bootloader with the exception being you have to have a custom kernel with built in safety net bypass
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Oh, I didn't realise that would bypass.

In that case, it's completely possible.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] spy4ka:
You need stock recovery to install the ota.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] psychatog64:
Yes it's true make sure your unlocked first before taking new OTA as you won't be able to unlock if you do then following the guides on these threads and do everything you want then just unroot

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Android pay does work with a unlocked bootloader just need a custom kernel

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Franco or elemental x would do just fine

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Also the unroot option works in the su app at least for me it did so it's not hard to unroot and keep all your edits
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] vacaloca:
Can you expand on this please? I tried the full unroot option from within SuperSU and was unable to keep the build.prop edits after having ElementalX kernel installed.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] briansis:
So It's not possible to load OTA with TWRP installed?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Kris Nelson:
That's correct..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Scott:
We posted at the same time. See my edit.

This is what was said on the post... "dePixel8 is patched in Android 7.1.1"

This is what my brain saw... "dePixel8 is patched for Android 7.1.1"
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DaPoets:
yeah I'm really pissed about this and may actually be a deal breaker for me if there is no other workaround.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
So the network refresher app update didn't fix it? I put the Hotspot in my quick settings pull down. So when I hit refresh I pull down and hit Hotspot real quick. I haven't updated to 7.1.1 or the refresher update yet.

Last resort.... You can always pop the sim card out.... Put it back in and quickly hit the Hotspot after inserting sim. Reportedly worked on another thread. Not ideal... But can be used.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DaPoets:
This works
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Souler19:
I am unlocked, with TWRP and Ex kernel installed. No Root.

What would I have to do in order to update to 7.1.1 and get back to the state that I am at currently?

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] briansis:
I was finally able to load 7.1.1 by following these instructions, you need to edit the flash-all.bat file and take out the -W so it doesn't wipe your phone when updating.

http://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/info-how-restored-to-stock-soft-t3494478

also when in bootloader mode do NOT boot into TWRP run the command flash-all.bat when you see the green guy and the start arrow on the top right. Worked perfect for me.

Sorry I'm just now getting back to you..

I have not rooted the device or made any mods to it besides a unlocked bootloader.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
You can sideload the OTA. Or flash the image. Neither will do anything to the bootloader since it's already unlocked.

Hello!

After the update on Schaps 3.57a none can play to Windows media Player amr files. Why?

Thank you

Deutsch

Hallo!

Seit dem Update auf Schaps 3.57a kann mein WM6 Media Player keine amr Files mehr abspielen. Wie kann ich das wieder richten. Habe mal das Vodafone Update geflasht und da funktioniert alles. Hintergrund ist die Vodafone Visual Mailbox. Diese sendet die Voicemails von meiner Mailbox als MMS an mich. Ich kann dann die MMS abspielen und höre die Nachricht. Leider wird die Audiodatei als amr File übertragen und somit wird die MMS zwar abgespielt aber ich höre nichts. Kann mir einer helfen?

Hi, here may be two reasons:

1) .amr files are not associated with Windows Media Player;

2) Windows Media Player, included in Schaps 3.57, is not able to play .amrs.

Try:

1) Start Windows Media (from Programs)

2) Open and play any .arm file.

That will give the answer on at least the second question above.

Deutsch

Situation ist nicht eindeutig. Kann sein:

1) Die .arm-Dateien sind nicht dem Windows Media Player zugeordnet - er ist dem Betriebssystem nicht als Standartanwendung für diese bekannt.

2) Schlimmer - wenn die Version von Windows Media Player in Schaps 3.57 ist einfach nicht imstande diese .arm vorzuspielen.

Um das zu klären, versuche:

1) Windows Media Player zu starten (aus Menü Programme) und

2) beliebige .arm-Datei auszuwählen und vorzuspielen.

Das wird mal was klären.

Russian ...ah, sorry! :)
