Find a local dealer for batteries that warrenties them. If your paying 15$ you get what you pay for, oem should run 40-50$ per battery

anything less its consumers fault for buying a cheap-o knock off, its like anything else. And why risk your safety with a EL-Cheapo?

Didnt anyone learn that lithium is dangerous and its not something to take lightly? NOTE 7?? Those knock offs dont go through ANY quality tests, and usually dont even have the resistors on the top of battery for protection.

Just google search cheap batteries from ebay, youll see what im talking about.. Stay away from Ebay and Amazon for this stuff. Same exact marketplace style, just 2 different parent companies.

east coast has store called ( Batteries Plus And Bulbs ) find a place similar and do biz local.

1 for exchanges and issues, 2 because you have a place to hold accountable and verify reputation.

We see this all the time on batteries.

Just order the cradle pack https://www.amazon.com/LG-Battery-Charging-BCK-5200-Charger/dp/B01M5C23SV it has everything included and is quite cheap.
[LG V20 Accessories] dublinboy:
It might be safe but performance probably won't be the best. Contact the seller and he should resolve it for you, he obviously knows they're fake and won't risk the bad feedback. A guy on eBay with a few thousand feedback would never have these amounts of official LG replacements fyi. They're easily found online just be more careful next time.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
This guide involves UNLOCKING and re-locking boot-loader! Know, what you do, before you do it!

Supported phones:

Personally tried on Xperia X Compact, but should work on any firmware that uses OEM partition.

Background

:

Recently, when playing with my new Xperia X Compact, I have found, that provider customisation like custom boot-animation, bloatware and overlays (enabling or disabling certain functionality), have been moved from /system/vendor to new /oem partition. Moreover, I have found, that as opposite to the /system the /oem partition is unprotected. It means, it can be modified, without triggering system unbootable because of dm-verity.

Process overview:

I don't go into specific detail, because I expect users to have sufficient knowledge/skills before trying.

1. BACKUP YOUR TA partition. BACKUP your TA partition.

2. Unlock boot-loader

3. Root your phone (install patched kernel+supersu or superuser)

4. Feel free to modify the OEM partition (/oem) the way you want. You may delete apps and overlay, delete or change boot-animation and many other things I did not found out yet, including custom build.prop etc.

5. Re-lock your boot-loader by flashing your TA backup back to TA partition

6. Flash back the stock firmware, or minimally just stock kernel. If you use Flashtool EXCLUDE OEM

After reboot, you will have back locked boot-loader, with stock firmware, but without bloat from your provider and with any modification you may want. It includes also apps you may add to /oem/app and /oem/priv-app. By my understanding, these apps will run like system apps, not user apps.

Perhaps somebody can find a way, we can use OEM partition to obtain root on locked bootloaders?

[MENTION=357342]tobias.waldvogel[/MENTION] [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] or othe kernel / system gurus, any idea?
[Sony Cross-Device General] munjeni:
That's what makes a trouble! To understand things better, apps have 4 diferent signing methods, one is signed with system key, one with app key, one with shared key...etc, SO to get custom app with "system level" you need to sign app with private system key, and only one problem trought we do not have private sony key to make any app with system level on fully stock non hacked rom :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Ok, clear. However, to integrate apps into OEM partition is just one example of possible uses. Maybe there is something more that can be achieved, since OEM partition is not protected and can be maybe in some way used to modify running system...

Hi,

1. If somebody experience this issue with lack of netwrok after Nougat full Rom update, like:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71063185&postcount=121

than follow this fix from another thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71054990&postcount=1456

for me it all seems to work fine now.

2. If somebody has issues with MiFlash, I think it is actually better to do the flash within first 5-10, after that it gives strange errors. If so, restrt EDL and press flash on MiFlash a bit faster .

I failed to boot nougat using these steps:

Boot to edl.

Flashed using miflash full b15 file and then b15 twrp file.

Flashed in twrp a2017 N modem.

Then it gets stuck at 5 secs screen and phone just reboots back to edl. Am i doing it wrong?

However it boots to nougat if only flashing just the b15 full.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RubiCom:
Hi,

I had stock B13 Chinese. I MiFlahed fastboot_unlock packge,

did fastboot oem unlock,

MiFlashed B15 twrp,

copied NON-HLOS.bin file from Chinese modem(link above) into extracted B15 Full package folder(which replaced exsiting file in there) ,

reset dalvik etc.from twrp,

flashed B15 full which included already new modem file,

I let it boot finally till the end into standard mode.

This way I don't even have twrp now and all works fine.

Regards
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Wuchko:
Hi, what you mean you don't have twrp? Is it possible to install it somehow again? Is it possible to install SuperSU then? I'm asking this because I want to install A2017U B15 firmware (with OTA support) on A2017 (Chinese model with B13, stock recovery and locked bootloader) and just want to be sure in everything before I start :) Many thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RubiCom:
Hi,

If you MiFlash B15 Full package it overwrites recovery partition...it is a full package after all. If you want TWRP on your nougat after that you need to Miflsh the B15 TWRP package. However inside the TWRP package, there is also modem driver file which you need to first replace with the new modem file, same as with B15 FULL package.

It is al soooo simple. I had some issues with MiFlash initially, as I read somewhere to "keep the vol up down, power fo 5 sec, release, wait 5seconds and than flash"

However I had near 100% success rate when I did press the flash button around 2-5 seconds after booting into EDL mode. Once you do oem unlock, the process is simple as burning ISO image on a CD

I have it now without that last step. It is unlocked, but without TWRP. I did however MiFlashed TWRP yesterday and it did work fine than as well. I don't however think I need TWRP anymore. I did Dalvik etc. reset during upgrading to Nougat... and that's all I needed it for. Maybe I'm wrong and I will MiFlash it again some day, but honestly, this was first time I flashed any Android phone as I come from Nokia- Windows Phone and all I wanted is working Daydream, Netflix VR for my long business flights. It works now. The rest I might need I will install from play store.

It does have that message about unlocked bootloader when you boot the phone, but it does not bother me and I read somewhere that it is better not to relock he phone.

How do I even know if it's OTA capable? When I checked updates, it says your phone is up to date.

Please help fellow china version users... [MENTION=8080711]RubiCom[/MENTION]

I have flashed b15 and the updated modem for china but my signal is still unusable. It keeps restarting the sim and when I go to sim settings, "com.android.phone" crashes. Some other settings related to calls/sim also crashes.

my sim is working fine when I'm on LOS. I really just want to use stock system since audio isn't fully fixed with LOS.

BTW, i'm already BL unlocked since b13. Do I still have to flash b15 twrp? I mean I could just fastboot flash twrp after installing full b15. Is there something special miflashing the b15 twrp package?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Wuchko:
I follow all the steps in original thread and after all everything works (at least for me) . But, it was a little bit complicated to make it work :D

So, first after unlocking I installed B15 TWRP, then entered into TWRP and deleted cache, dalvik, etc.. After that I put my phone into EDL again and flashed B15 original (I didn't boot phone to OS between flashing ROM's at all). But, on boot B15 original I still had some chinese symbols and I couldn't finish setup (phone stuck at google account setup). So, I repeated this three steps (installation of B15 TWRP, wiping everything in TWRP and installation of B15 original) again. This time I've got "android encrypted" or some similar message on boot B15 original(??!!), but after reboot everything was completely normal (except message that bootloader is unlocked, which is normal). I don't have TWRP, but 2G/3G/4G signal is great on both SIM's without lose and I have official updates. Comparing with chinese MM, this Nougat is far more better and faster, like I have a new phone :D
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] otaconremo:
I figured out what's wrong my my setup but still I can't find a way to fix this.

It seems that when I use my original sim cards (2 sims with the same provider), they both get disconnected every second.

When I put another sim from another provider, it does work but still my original sim doesn't get signal. even when changing slots.

I'm really confused how to make them work together.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Wuchko:
That's weird. I'm also using SIM's from same providers, but without any problems.. Don't know what to tell, maybe you can try install B15 TWRP and wipe everything, then install B15 original and try again.. First time I also had some weird problems...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] otaconremo:
this is actually wierd. I had this problem my my sims. And I had flashed this many times already trying out different methods including miflash and even stock flashable zips from draken. all yields to the same results.

Do you have any idea where to tweak carrier settings from system files? i tried *#*#4636*#*# but still fails.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JBalls:
First off, I have been having a plethora of problems with Windows Vista, and I might start out by asking if anyone else is having sync problems with Vista.... ever since I upgraded to SP1 RC1 I have been unable to sync.... and then I reverted back the non-sp1 and still can't sync... Everytime I try it installs as Microsoft USB Sync in Device Manager (when advanced network functionality is unchecked) and the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #3 in Device Manager (when advanced network functionality is checked). No matter what I do, Windows Mobile Device Center will NOT open. I'll connect the phone, and it always just acts as a charger, never any data exchange of any sort. I have gone through all the troubleshooting I can find online, and still have no luck.

Assuming nobody can shed some light as to why Windows Vista sucks, I have another option. I made a backup of everything using SPB Backup of my previous ROM (Stock Sprint) and now I'm on DCD's newest release. It works great, I just want to know how I can get ONLY my contacts and calendar off the backup file. I am able to access the file tree when going into the advanced option. So, what is the file that contains all of the contacts (I assume some sort of xml file or something) and calendar files.

Anyone help would be HIGHLY appreciated.

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mastachillz:
pim in the main dir of the phone is the file with contacts and recent calls you will have to use total commander or another file manager as the reg file explorer won't overwrite it. and as far as the not connecting on the phone go into settings then connections and on usb to pc try disabling the advanced options that should do the trick.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JBalls:
I have already tried enabling / disabling the advanced functionality in USB to PC.... it still doesn't work....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] robbyr:
I had the same issues as you until I was on the road and connected directly with my cable instead of my USB hub. From some reason Vista + USB hub (Belkin) + my 6800 didin't get along. Once I connect directly with the cable, all is well.

Hello.

I have setup Lineage 13 port on my device Xiaomi Mi 5s (capricorn) and as usually i configured a pin and a fingerprint that were both working properly while on the system.

The very first reboot asked for my pin to boot the device, I inputed it, said it was wrong.

Same thing for TWRP.

Now i'm stuck and a data partition encrypted and i dont' know how to decrypt or mount it without decryption on twrp so i can flash the whole system again.

Can someone help? Thanks.

PS:

I hade lineage 14 before and i had pattern boot unlocking and it was working just fine.

This is a very very big problem

I bought a used Huawei P8 Lite (with bootloader locked) and I upgrade it to Marshmallow. The build number change to Balong but I tried to fix that and do a downgrade but the build number don't change "Balong"

The guy that sold me the phone told me IMEI was changed, and I can't unlock the bootloader now

In conclusion, I have the original IMEI (in the SIM slot) and the new IMEI, the original Series Number and the new one, but no ones work to unlock the bootloader

Please I need an alternative to unlock the bootloader to install a new firmware with a correct build number and not Balong

Thanks guys
[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately changing IMEI is illegal and can't be discussed on xda, the only way I know to unlock the bootloader requires the IMEI number here

Its not an "Xtrons" - Xtrons are a seller only, it will be from one of the MTCB/C/D manufacturers, to find out which go to settings/about device and see what 2 or 3 letters come before the "MTCD" in the MCU field.

Hello

1. Will shipping also be possible from Germany or another European country?

England is unfortunately already out of the European Union.

2. Can I get this device from root already?

I'm rooted because I have several programs that I need to run root, or Super User.

3. Will there be any price reductions planned in the near future?

4. Will it not be a problem with the reception of weaker FM radio stations in Europe? I am from Poland and I had a MTCD GS 1.34 device with 1 GB of ram but not from Xtrons and there the FM radio was very poor.

5. How is the audio processor? Quality is as good as the original Skoda car kits?

Can you compare with the Swing radio from Skoda?

6. What is the brightness of the display? Is it strongly visible in the sun?

Lol, you wont get help from them, they just buy em from the manufacturers and sell em on, they dont know anything about them.

Cos this sounds like the BT problem that afflicts MTCB/C units, which is easily fixed by separating the internal and external mics (which are wired together on MTCB/C units and possibly MTCD units too).

Youre best searching in the MTCD forum for a solution, not specific RK3368/PX5 threads, because, RK3368/PX5 SoM aside, you have an MTCD unit with an MTCD motherboard (the mic is wired to this not the SoM) and theyre more or less the same whatever processor they have.
