[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Deleted member 384713:
Hi, did anybody already use Tadzio's bigstorage toolchain.

This can dump a nbh/nb file and rebuild to nb/nbh (and in theory save storage on athena memory).

I tried to dump the Black Dual by PK 3.0 ROM with this tool, but if i rebuid then i get a smaller file, OSchecker.exe says that this will lead to bad blocks.

Message in toolchain:

ImgFs Flash Region log blocks was 0x478, now is 0x3e8

No Storage Flash Region found!

If i run the toolchain in -conservative mode i get same log blocks size, but still message "No Storage Flash Region found!"

OSChecker still says will lead to bad blocks.

Is it possible with Athena to remove bad blocks with mtty, like with hermes?

Did somebody use this tazio tool, and got any success with athena?

Is it correct to run in -conservative mode and then flash, or am i doing anything wrong?

I decompiled and recompiled the nb/nbh with duttys good nbhtool, is this okay for athena?

All i want is to dump the ROM make some modifications, and rebuild and flash save.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Midget_1990:
it was designed for devices with NAND flash rather than a DoC like the athena.

Use mamaich's origional tools and dutty's NBH tool/nbhgen.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
like said thousands of time before. the athena is like midget said a DoC device. This means the disk is setup in partitions. U can create a smaller os.nb but it will not mean more storage bc of the set partition for the os.nb

Edit: Also my rom has no rgus meaning even if u dump and package. u will not be able to rebuild bc of the missing rgus. this is ment to be like that so no one will just dump my rom, change some things, and upload saying it is their own. Use midget's kitchen as it is same build and just add your own packages. Remember to donate to him if u use his kitchen.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] JaffXsMan:
I was trying to root my phone (Galaxy S7 edge, Verizon), and when i tried to install SuperSU it wouldn't work. Tried many different things and i couldn't do it. So I decided the put the stock firmware image back onto the phone and try it all again. I downloaded the correct file for my Verizon S7 Edge. I'm not that experienced and I don't know if this was a bad idea. When I tried to put it onto my phone through Odin3, it failed about 4 times while in download mode. I thought that putting it out of download mode would get me back to when i couldn't install SuperSU and my phone still worked. I held the Power, Volume up and down, and the Home button. It took me to a blue screen saying "Software Update Failed" and in smaller text "Your device didn't update successfully. Use the Verizon software repair assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update." I don't have that assistant on my computer and I have tried downloading the assistant but can't find anywhere i can download it. My phone is stuck on that screen and i don't know what to do. Any help at all would be great. Thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mrmathematica:
My Mi5 was on MoKee rom (mashmallow), with encryption on(it seems to do the encryption the first time I boot MoKee rom, as I input a pin at the time). It seems to work fine: I had a PIN (call it P) set to unlock device. I need to input it every time I reboot device, and TWRP can also use it to decrypt data.

But it turns out I don't like Mokee and would like to use CM 13 instead. So today I booted into TWRP, wiped everything, and flash CM 13 stable build from 12202016. That goes well. First time boot CM 13, it ask me to set a PIN. I just used the same PIN (P). Now CM 13 boots fine. It will ask me PIN once on during boot process, and once more for first time unlock screen (from then on I can use fingerprint to unlock). Not sure why it need PIN twice, but at least I can live with it.

The problem is: now if I boot into TWRP, it will tell me 'PIN incorrect, failed to decrypt data. So I can only go into TWRP without access to data partition, which means it's useless. I have never set a different PIN other than 'P' on this device, so I'm not sure how I could progress with TWRP. I'm using lastest official TWRP for gemini (3.0.2-3). Anyone with more experience, please help. Many thanks.

--EDIT--:

Turns out I need to set "lock screen - input pin when booting" to 'On'. Then I only need to input PIN once during normal boot, and can use that PIN in TWRP to decrypt. It's not intuitive at all, but that solves the problem.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] DeshBhakt:
Same issue after new ROM installation

I own a Redmi Note 4 and had a pin (call it Q) that decrypted the data with no issues on startup as well as in TWRP decrypt. Now, recently I installed Resurrection Remix v7.0.0 Android Pie from v6.x.

Now whenever I try to open TWRP and decrypt with the pin Q, it says "decrypt failed" but it works whenever I reboot the device and it asks me to enter pin before startup.

I also could not find "Input PIN while reboot" in the settings, maybe due to new android version policy or because device is already encrypted.

Please help.

TWRP Version: 3.2.1-0

Log:

Updating partition details...

done...

Unable to mount storage

Full SELinux support is present.

Failed to decrypt data.

--EDIT--:

Just downloaded the latest TWRP (3.2.3-1) image from the official site, used "adb push <TWRP image> <location in device>", then "Install" and "Install Image" in recovery and it solved the issue. I used "/sideload" as device location to "adb push" because "/sdcard" wasn't mounted maybe due to encryption.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metallforest:
Hi, I'll try to keep this as simple as I can, I'm having problems with calls reconding on my device.

Before updating to Android MM and N I was able to record every call made and received on my device on any ROM I flashed that was runing Android 5.1.1 or earlier.

After updating Marshmellow and Nougat I can still record my calls but there's a problem, the phone only records my voice over the mic and nothing else! It doesn't record whatever people is saying to me unless I turn on the loudspeaker. That wasn't happening on the previous versions of Android, I was even able to record with my earbuds's microphone, so I'd like to know if there's a workarround this issue.

Am I the only one with this problem? Some help would be very much apreciated.

Thank you!

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon Pro] Big_Erk:
I would hold off on purchasing the Axon A1. I have had this phone for 6 months and while the hardware is fine, the lack of an OS upgrade to Marshmallow is concerning. There are many people on many forums querying ZTE on the availability of Marshmallow for this handset. All have been met with radio silence. I love the hardware, but hate the lack of software support from the manufacturer. I am days away from retiring the handset because of little software glitches that should have been worked out by now.
[Android General] tommyu1984:
Hey guys, Im new here and my search for an answer let me to you for help. so here goes...

As you probably know by now, Verizon has released an unlimited plan, catch is after 10 gigs of hotspot you are knocked

back to 3g for further hotspoting during the billing cycle, I need a way around this as LTE is my soul source of high speed

intenet access as cable isn't available in my area.

I know about the pdanet+ app and tethering it to a laptop via cable allows for hiding the tether usage from the carrier,

does this still work? If so once its hooked up can I use my laptop like a router for other devises in the house and still be

masking the tether usage?

Or perhaps there is a simpler way now? Im open to all suggestions, BTW right now I'm on a iPhone but have come to the

conclusion if Im going to make this work I need to switch to a android (probably a galaxy s7 edge)

Tommy
[Android General] cooltranier13px:
Unfortunately on Verizon they have any way to do just gotta blocked. But if you really want unlimited data and Hotspot you have two options.

▫️T-Mobile One plan

▫️AT&T Unlimited Data Plan** (https://xdaforums.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/att-mobile-hotspot-glitch-t3383680)

**Only works for Galaxy S7 Edge AT&T branded on 6.0.1 not 7.0

I did the AT&T Unlimited Data Plan. Screenshots attached. ?

These are the only ways that I can personally confirm.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] SWBgHz:
So this is cool, at least I think it is cool. Annoyed with all the film and tempored glass screen protectors out there with either terrible coverage or close but noticeably not full coverage I undertook to make my own solution. As a secondary goal, I wanted the front of my white Mate 9 to be black like the old Nexus phones as it looks far better. I tried several black tempored glass protectors but as mentioned before none fit edge to edge or even without missing the edge of the screen and covering the inside by a little bit. Also, all had an ugly rectangular cutout for the Huawei lettering which looked terrible in black on white phone but even white on white was tacky looking.

So I went looking around and came across a replacement glass piece for the Mate 9 and ordered a few. I was going to take to a local repair place and just have them swap out but none would do it since the glass and digitizer glue together. So I started thinking, why not just glue the replacement glass right on top of the existing glass? I opened one of the ones I received and put it in place and it looked and felt good so that was my new plan. I looked around and found this film/sticker OCA LCD adhesive and got a pack (didn't want to use real glue as my hope was I could remove without damage).

After I got the adhesive I tested it on a couple of the tempored glass protectors I had to get a feel for how it holds and works and to see if removable and all checked out. I decided to just use the film under top and bottom bezel portion of the screen since I couldn't find the OCA LCD adhesive that was cut for the Mate 9 and long story short (yes, too late) all good, looks and feels and works great! See pictures attached (note, I much prefer the feel of the matte protectors so pics show the new glass and a matte Skinomi screen protector - I will probably take it off but for now just tossed it on as that is what I am used to).

Replacement glass screen:

OCA LCD adhesive sticker:

And for the record, do not try this at home. It will probably kill you and certainly break your phone. This story is for entertainment purposes only.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] anirudhks:
wouldnt that mean the edge of the replacement galss still have a bubble at the edge ? wouldnt that still cause a halo ? if i my understanding is correct you are placing a replcaement LCD Glass on the existing screen like a screen protector ,?
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] SWBgHz:
Actually, no - no halo and no edge problems like with many temp glass protectors. The only flaw is since I only used the adhesive tape at bezels on top and bottom there is a little side gap (imperceptible in use and look but dust could get in) so I have to get the adhesive along the thin sides but with care that can be done.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] bimmerboii:
I like it. Looks good as oem. But wont do it on mine lol. Thanks for sharing!
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] SoreGums:
Which OCA LCD Adhesive did you get? (which size/phone kind/type you pick)

About to put a dent in my bank account for either the MHA-L29 4GB or MHA-AL00 6GB...

I cannot post in DEVELOPMENT because I haven't posted here in years (haven't had ANDROID in a while). Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Read the third post in the thread below to get set up and back to stock. Then we will work on root. If you tried to root and you bootlooped it then you used the wrong​ SU.

https://xdaforums.com/pixel/help/stupidly-bootloop-help-t3554242
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] walther1337:
1. Download a ROM. A stock version is probably in the forums somewhere if that's what you want.

2. Download TWRP image and zip from the TWRP thread.

3. Download SuperSU from the SuperSU thread.

4. Download a vendor image. There's no "official" vendor image thread AFAIK, but you can grab one from the Pure Nexus rom thread. NMF26V is compatible with all 7.1.1 ROMs & stock.

Now you have two options:

Fast: Put the ROM, TWRP(zip only), SuperSU and vendor image on USB flash drive, then connect the USB 3 to USB C adapter to your flash drive. Don't connect it to the phone yet. An external HDD/SSD should also work if that's all you've got.

Slow: While in TWRP(Instructions below) push the ROM, TWRP(zip only), SuperSU and vendor image files to your phone through ADB with "adb push C:\file_path\ /sdcard/" sans quotes. You will need to do this for each file, or alternatively push a folder containing the four files. adb file transfer is very slow.

5. Boot your phone to the bootloader, and connect it to your computer. This can be achieved by holding volume down and power from an off state.

Note: If your device is still bootlooping you won't be able to get to the bootloader. Hold volume up and power until the device shuts off to get out of the bootloop temporarily, then boot to bootloader.

6. In a command window, "fastboot boot twrp.img"

7. Connect your flash drive to your phone if you chose that option, or push the files through adb if you chose that option

8. Flash TWRP zip, ROM and vendor image. STAY IN TWRP

9. Return to TWRP's home screen > advanced > file manager. Scroll down until you see 'fstab.marlin'(in the root '/' directory). Tap on 'fstab.marlin' and delete it. Skipping this step means SuperSU won't install.

10. Flash SuperSU zip, reboot to system and you're done.

Help with root and TWRP

Thanks for your assistance. I now have root installed and I think I'm good except for one thing. I keep thinking TWRP is installed but for some reason when I reboot to bootloader, then select reboot recovery mode, it takes me to android recovery. I am used to recovery taking me to TWRP. I know TWRP works but I feel like I'm temporarily flashing it each time or something. I even installed the twrp app and I see I can flash zips that way, etc, but I wanted to know if you knew how to make the phone boot to TWRP in recovery? Or is that necessary?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
I dont do it that way on this phone. TWRP and SU are modifying the same parts of the phone, and there are cases where it could conflict. Rare, not a big deal, but since i don't need TWRP installed i don't.

To install it ypu first boot to it.

Fastboot boot twrpFilename.

Then from within TWRP you install the TWRP zip.

Make sure it is TWRP RC1

Thanks again for your help. I am running pure ROM as I mentioned and I seem to like it. Do you K or if Franco works with Pure or do you have a suggestion on a good rom/kernel? Is there anything else that you can suggest I should be using with the new phone? I remember there used to be tools that you could install that allowed you to customize the system even further but the name escapes me. . Is there anything like that or even a theme tool which is a must have when you are rooted and running custom roms? No big deal if not. Very happy with where I stand now. Really appreciate you getting me back up and running!

You are most welcome. I don't ROM so I don't know what kernels work with what roms for sure. But my understanding is that they are all pretty universal. I run stock with Franco.
