[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bschatzow:
OTA update

Still fairly new to the Pixel Xl. Have had many Android devices and this one seems a little confusing for updating. I have rooted my phone (SU) and have installed TWRP. This causes the OTA to fail. In the past I just installed new updates a custom roms through TWRP. This does not seem available with the pixel (maybe due to two partitions?) I have tried letting flashfire update after the OTA was downloaded and it fails. Can I down load the marlin-ota-n2g47e-a3451543.zip and use flashfire to install it or should I install it with ADB. Need to figure out a fairly easy way as there will be monthly updates and don't want to lose the data every month. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DaveHTC200:
Why not just flash with twrp, i believe this works for ota updates
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bschatzow:
Just tried and lost TWRP & root. Can't get to bootloader to restore. Everything else on update worked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Splatlame:
After you flash the OTA you have to reflash TWRP and SuperSu. Rookie mistake man, sorry.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bschatzow:
How do you reflash twrp without the bootloader?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Splatlame:
You have to reflash it after you flash the OTA in TWRP, TWRP doesn't close after you flash something, just for situations like this. What you did can't be undone, sorry guy.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Gravemoss42:
I have the LG V20 (vs995, Verizon). My flashlight stopped working. As did the flash for my camera. So I was like ok, I'll reboot. And I did.

After the reboot, the camera flash worked for the first photo. Then it doesn't turn on until I reboot again. And it won't turn on when I use the flashlight. It's the same result with 3rd party flashlight and camera apps too.

Has anyone else had this issue and more importantly if you have, how did you solve it?

Also, I have not updated the system software ever...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] V20guy:
Yup, same issue here. After the 13a system update (January 2017), the flashlight/flash stopped working. If I restart the V20, the flashlight will work -- precisely once. After the first use, it stops working again. Since the flashlight app (the LG V20 onboard app) works ONCE with a restart, this strikes me as most likely a 'droid software bug related to the V20. Anyone over at LG paying attention to this annoying bug?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] androiddiego:
Try this:

In settings/apps select the camera. Force stop it. Then select storage. Clear data. This should clear cache also.

Shut the phone down. Pull battery. Put battery back in and reboot.

This has worked on other phones.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] V20guy:
:confused:Thanks, but no joy. Forced stop to Camera; cleared data/cache. Powered LGV20 off, pulled battery. Reinserted battery, restarted. SAME RESULT. Flashlight worked ONCE. Then stopped working.

FYI, the bloom is really off what I thought would be a great phone. The speakers on the first one (from Verizon) blew up completely after the attempted and failed install of the 'droid 13a "security" update. I had the phone for not more than 90 days. Opted to replace it with a certified reconditioned LG V20 under warranty replacement. Now the flash and flashlight have failed due to 'droid update bugs after maybe 2 weeks. Nothing (!!) should be this complicated. Now what? Replacement phone #2?:rolleyes:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] androiddiego:
Sounds like a Verizon issue possibly. I'm on TMO and haven't heard of anyone having this problem. And the OP is on Verizon also.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Dark Jedi:
Verizon is known to screw up updates when they add their own stuff and it breaks other stuff . I remember when the HTC thunderbolt got an update and people who took it would get random reboots I believe. Call Verizon and ask for one of their tech people and talk with them about the issue. Then hopefully they can get Verizon programmers to come out with a patch. I would just wait as getting another phone won't fix the issue.

I'm having same issue ... But my flashlight does work

...just tapped out with a thumb or 2, please don't mind the abbreviations and grammatical faults.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] p7810456:
Guys, I had the same issue on a US996, but I returned it and got an H990DS, it's easier. But you could also try flashing a new KDZ.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] filmerz:
Resolved... Go to settings, application manager, camera, press turn off, then click storage, clear all storage. This should fix it.

Hello. I got exact same issue with my LG V20 VS995. The flashlight only works once after restart, no matter if you using camera or just flashlight. I've tried with factory reset, camera data clean up, even firmware downgrade but the problem is still there. Did you find any solution?

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickhx2:
Hey, guys. Searched around this forum for this topic but didn't see anything, apologize if it's a duplicate.

Basically my tablet has been freezing constantly since the nougat update. It wasn't happening all that often to begin with but over time it turned into something like once a day to a few times a day. It doesn't follow any usage patterns as far as I can tell (i.e. I use chrome mostly but if I'm on something like one of the regular google apps it might still happen). Once it freezes I have to force shutdown via power button. Every now and then it will freeze and restart itself without my having to force shutdown.

It's stock ROM, with virtually stock apps (dropbox is the only downloaded app). I read about some solutions which I've already tried, and so I wiped the cache, did a factory reset, have about 5gb free storage space, and the issues are still the same.

Any suggestions? Thanks
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
YAY!!! someone else!

Can you try something for me. Flash this kernel FIRE-ICE N K10.5.3 (K10.5.4 seems to be having problems ATM)

i think your problem will be fixed.... please let me know! :highfive:
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickhx2:
Hi, thanks for replying. I absolutely can do that but I literally have no experience flashing kernels. I assume it's same as flashing a rom but If you could provide some instructions for me I'd appreciate that. It's been a long time since I've even done that and I'd want to make sure I don't screw anything up.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
Simply... Flash TWRP

Flash kernel like any other ROM.

Reboot done!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickhx2:
ok, thanks. will let you know how it goes.

do i need necessarily need twrp to flash? or can i just use whatever recovery i currently have on there?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
Yes TWRP

Question did you unlock your bootloader?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickhx2:
honestly i don't remember. some time ago my n9 got stuck in some weird bootloop. i had to run the RUU (i think that's what it was) to restore everything back to completely normal. so if me having to do that meant i unlocked the bootloader then yes i did. if not, then i wouldn't have done it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] jmwtac:
Yes I know this is a stupid thing to do but the factory reset has lost all my pictures. I have tried to go down the root of Rooting the device and then running some recovery software but not very successful hence my other thread of restoring. Is there any easier way to get the pictures restored after factory reset ?:cyclops:
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Venom71:
The internal storage is encrypted by default anyways, there's absolutely no way to recover anything from it after a factory reset.

[General Questions and Answers] boowho:
Been able to accomplish this with the DOS command:

adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13'" > misc.ext

This should create a bit-for-bit duplicate of the partition on my Windows PC.

However, I've found no WORKING way to mount and read from it on the PC. Have tried several different programs, but none of them seem to recognize it.

I've also tried the "cat" command instead of "dd". The file sizes end up being slightly different, still won't mount without error. Have NOT tried different .suffix; I don't know if that would make a difference or not.

Is there a better way of doing what I want to do??

So does anybody here have similar issues or maybe a solution? Download is also bad sometimes but not as bad as upload.

Latest China Stable ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] W3D3:
I tested again and the issue only seems to occur with 2.4 GHz networks, the 5 GHz is fine. Maybe it's a hardware issue after all :(
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
2.4 can be very overcrowded and also cause speed issues. Also which ROM are you running? If you aren't using the official China ROM, then there is the possibility of bad drivers.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] W3D3:
Haven't changed ROMs or anything really yet but I will probably flash the eu rom based on the feedback in this thread. System info says MIUI Global 8.0.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
You have to check exact version. Latest official is 8.0.18.0. If you have an additional 0 in the number, it's a fake shop rom. Also if you have any other language than Chinese and English, it's a fake ROM. Don't forget, even the xiaomi.eu ROM is a custom ROM, with all it's up and down sides.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Kepee:
Have you checked that your Wifi network isn't on the same channel as someone else's nearby? Get Wifi analyzer and check the channels, and if necessary, change your wifi channel from your router's settings.

I have the Xiaomi.eu weekly ROM and I get maximum speeds in both directions that my internet connection allows. About 50/30 Mbps down/up. Haven't tried moving files within my home network, I'll test that once I'm back at my apartment and update here.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] W3D3:
Not necessary, WiFi is fine and always has been on any other device.

Yeah, I just checked my version number and it seems I have a custom Vendor ROM with Version 8.0.10.0.0 ...

Will flash the Xiaomi.eu version and test again, thanks for the heads up!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teaReactor:
Hi, first post here.. but not a new user :)

I just replaced the lens on my phone after a drop during my vacation from my phone case... bad decision.

My question:

The auto-focus jams sometimes... I think that it might be a teeny piece of glass that is floating around along the sides as a small chunk did fall in there-- but maybe underneath the camera itself now. Has anyone had any experience with removing these little chunks? The camera works itself fine otherwise and when it focuses, works fine (with a little bit of hesitation at times--trying to jam). Or should I just buy scrap this camera, buy another module and replace it altogether. And if so... does anyone here have experience with what places provide the best (OEM) parts?

I want to continue using this phone for development purposes (i.e. for testing apps/websites), but am looking at the Google pixel... it is a good phone still, so haven't been in a hurry to replace. Most phones don't have enough memory for me...

Can you use Flash Tool? I mean my computer does not recognise my P9000 but when I turn the device off, prepare Flash Tool, connect the USB cable and turn the device on it works.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Otiss:
Just got a V20 from AT&T and loving it so far. I'm trying to get usb tethering to work (I want to pick up wifi with my phone and then use usb to get it to my computer). It works through data but not wifi, I keep getting an error that says there is a temporary network problem that is preventing the enablement of usb tethering function. Do I really need to root my phone to fix this? If someone could atleast point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it, I've googled quite a bit and can't find a clear answer.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] douger1957:
Maybe other AT&T customers can jump in... but I believe they want you to pay to use your phone as a hotspot. Verizon is the same way.

I'm pretty sure you'd need to root to get around that... if you could.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Otiss:
Is it still considered a hotspot if I'm using it through usb? I dont understand why AT&T would expect payment if Im going through my own internet and not using data. And if I need to root how would I go about doing that? Sorry for the noob questions but I've never done this before and all the threads I've read confuse me more, I'm not sure what I do and dont need
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ubergeek77:
I could never find a good way to do this on other devices, even with root. I've spent a lot of time on a solution on this in the past, and I don't think it's something that's easy to do. Have you been able to do this with a different device?

Also, are you on an unlimited AT&T plan? I've heard that just about everyone on that kind of plan can't use tethering. Sleazy, I know, but they're trying to pressure people into having any reason at all to switch to a tiered plan. Kinda like this!

Regardless of what plan you're on, I don't think that USB tethering option will do what you want. It's very restricted in that it needs to be using your mobile data. Back when I had a rooted phone, I could never find a way to do what you're trying to do - using the phone as a network adapter. But I can almost guarantee you, whatever solution you find is probably going to involve root.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] douger1957:
You can't yet root an AT&T phone because the bootloader is locked.

If you're trying to set up an OTG arrangement, that should work. I haven't seen much discussion here about OTG. With the micro USB ports on older phones, you needed a special OTG cable. I'm not sure about the USB-C port whether a special cable is required.

But if you're trying to use your phone as a modem or a router, I believe your carrier has you by the short and curlies.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

I don't know if your phone will have this option. I don't know if it'll make your phone do what you want it to, but here goes.

Settings>Developer Options>Select USB Configuration>RDNIS USB Ethernet.

It's all I've got.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] LvDisturbed1:
So you pretty much want to use USB tethering, but instead of using data from rmnet_data0, you want to tether data from wlan0?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KindaWack:
If you want to use tether with AT&T while on a unlimited data plan just install pdanet+ on your phone and computer. It also has a feature to create a hotspot from your laptop. Until we have root this is the best solution for tethering.
