[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] turner2914:
By the way, the bundling on that Flashtool version is bugged. You have to manually update the Flashtool jar file to 9.23.2 to be able to bundle through Flashtool. It's quite odd that at no point Flashtool asks for a script but everyone's device interacts in a unique way usually! Good to hear you finally got it sorted out [emoji1]
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] DHGE:
I am glad you figured it out.

"updating the devices" pulls updated scripts and more from github

a fsc-file contains a script making sure that the parts the rom land in the proper parts of your devices storage

the fsc file is necessary for the XZ but does not get "bundled"

TWRP 3.0.0.1

I tried flashing many roms like Aryamod, Ressurection remix ( both N & M ) and Lineage OS

The only on that flashed successfully is Lineage but when I try to reboot it restarts back to TWRP

The other roms doesn't flash as it gives Error 7

Any ideas ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Fild5x:
Try v 3.0.2.1. Also go to specific thread and read this has a solution and I think there is no need to create a separate thread for that. There is even a zip that you can flash to get out of the twrp loop as I would call it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrosen:
Hi

I have a Gen 2 Firestick, and I would like to run it over a VPN using PIA as the provider. I know that this has been covered many times, but I have some specific questions I was hoping someone could answer.

The best solution would be to install VPN software on my ASUS router. My router supports Open VPN, but I also want to watch Netflix on the same network (I DO NOT want to geo-unlock any content...just the same US based content I watch now), so I don't think this is an option.

Second best solution is to put a VPN client on the FIreStick, but I can only find a few solutions (IPVanish, etc.) which are slow, expensive and don't generally have good reviews.

Is there a third option? Can I somehow use a second router to partition my network and connect that router through the VPN so that only connections going through that router will be VPN-enabled? In this case, I won't connect my Netfilx-devices to this router. If someone can point me to instructions as to how to do this, it would be great.

Is there some other option?

Thanks!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klobster:
sideload a vpn app, get root, or learn your router functions and punch a hole through the vpn for your other devices.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrosen:
I believe my router will allow me to route by port, not by device, but if you have any additional information, or a link that would be very helpful!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klobster:
I mean I could say "whats your router?" and go slog through the searches and how-tos to determine what you ACTUALLY can and can't do, but it's friday and I'm about to get high and watch The Path :). Go look at your router vpn setup, and see what you ACTUALLY have as options. You will likely find your answer, if not tell me what you found and if I can help I will.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
You're over complicating things.

I run FTV1's. Which are very closely comparable with FTVS2's. Basically they are AFTV2's with a USB port. I run the latest PIA Android App (You can get it from PIA's site) on them. That App lets me choose what Apps use the VPN on a per app basis. So you can choose to keep Netflix on your unprotected side if you wish. Just go into settings. Play with them till you get them right for you & reboot your AFTV2.

Your AFTV2 should be able to handle even the highest security settings on it. I was surprised how well this works on FireOS 5. It does not slowdown my FTV1 at all. I from time to time check my DNS & IP address from a browser. And it's always been protected.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrosen:
Thanks for the reply. I really wanted a router based VPN, but that just isn't possible if I want Netflix, unless I load Tomato or DD-WRT on the router, which I don't have the time for right now.

So, I sideloaded OpenVPN, imported the appropriate .ovpn file, and everything is now working perfectly!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeffDC:
PIA works well on my FTV2. All my apps work well with PIA, excluding Netflix. Netflix I run w/o PIA.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
For me the latest PIA APK has worked flawlessly. I wish the Windows version had the Per APP option.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhow:
How did you install it?

I installed the apk version from PIA site on my 2nd gen fire tv stick. At first it worked in a very limited way. It auto selected California and masked my IP address. No way to select regions. Then after a few days it no longer worked. It auto selected either Southampton or London and didn't mask my IP. How did you install yours? Thanks.

Update: I installed indigo on my fire tv stick. It indicated that my external IP address was different from my actual IP. So I guess, even though I haven't figured out a way to change regions PIA is working in a limited way.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Use a mouse app like mouse toggle or other(s) to change any/all settings.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhow:

I tried Amazon's remote for fire tv. Sadly I couldn't get the mouse function (point and click) to work. All it would do is scroll up and down.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
That is not a mouse app. It functions the same as an Amazon controller.

Cetus Play Mouse or the best overall Mouse Toggle for FireTV is what you need.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhow:
How do you install Cetus mouse on fire tv stick? I have downloader app installed.

OK, so I managed to install CetusPlay on my tablet and my fire stick. I can activate the mouse and get a pointer but it will not click to select.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripledrop:
I have mouse toggle installed, but I want to select the per app settings in PIA, but I cannot scroll down the settings screen... I can only select those apps that fit on the screen without scrolling

Any ideas?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Easy. Use the 3 bars button to scroll up & the forward button to scroll down. Then to see the ones all the way to the bottom click & hold the OK/Select button & click the down arrow. The same basic strolling works up by holding the OK/Select button & clicking the up arrow. Very easy to do. Although it might require both hands.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripledrop:
Perfect, thanks so much, now I only have Hulu and HBO now going through vpn, everything else (Netflix, amazon etc) doesn't

Edit: spoke too soon.. Although Netflix is set to not go through vpn, still showing US shows..

Edit 2: all ok after a restart!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Yeah, I wish this feature was part of the Windows app. Makes things so easy.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] codman2728:
I was having some issue with a rom and figured it was time to reflash/flash a new one. I started the process in TWRP and Aroma froze half way through. I had to reboot. Unfortunately I had already wiped my rom. I can get to fastboot, but I cannot get anywhere else at all. Can anyone point me to a way to get back into recovery?

Should have mentioned, H918.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jinkerz9430:
Download adb to your computer. Connect the phone to the computer. Open cmd and use cd or pushd to point cmd to the directory where adb is. Once you are in that directory (from cmd), use " adb reboot recovery "
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] androiddiego:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] codman2728:

Thanks for the response. I ended up rooting around for a long while after this post and settled on using LGUP and found the correct files to reflash to stock. Adb would not work at all. I could get fastboot access, but that is gimped. No driver update would fix the adb problem. I've never had this issue before, with any phone. LG seems to make things more difficult than necessary. I miss Samsung.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] codman2728:
Thanks

That link seems to 404. I'd be interested in reading that though, if it isn't actually a 404. I believe what you are referring to is what I did though LOL. I found the kdz and dll, and used LGUP to get flashed back to stock. I'll never let it out of my sight again.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jinkerz9430:
If you flashed stock with lgup then everything is back to factory settings. Is this is the case, then the autorization you gave to your computer via usb debbug (where the prompt appears if the device is connected to a other device without authorization asking you whether you want to authorize it or not). Is also back to factory settings. Which means not even developer mode is on. But after you turn developer mode on and usb debbug then connect the phone to the computer and it will ask you once again for authorization

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Terminator.J:
Hi there, I'm probably overstepping a bit, but at least I know every time I go trying to find ROMs for a device, I'm gonna look at threads in the ROM/Recovery/Kernel Development sub-forum for that device. Not try to find something buried in the guides or Q&A 15 pages deep behind 5732 people posting the same question over & over about whether or not VoLTE works with Jio on that phone. :p

So none of this is my work, it's just links to a relatively-well-working build of MM + a newer recovery than is typically linked, because I couldn't find those listed in this forum.

So anyway, the ZUK Z2 Pro seems to have an active MM Mokee build going on, which you can find here:

https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=z2pro

If they ever start in on Nougat, I assume it would show up on that page as well. Fingerprint sensor seems to work but customization of actions is GONE (just touch for back, long touch for recent, click button for home), no U-Health, built-in camera app doesn't flash (but other apps using camera API can turn it on), and vibration works through weird "route it through gamepad controller" switch... but on the upside, you can globally disable vibration if you hate it!

Meanwhile, I've seen a lot of back & forth about which version of TWRP to use here & on zukfans.eu, and it seems like with 3.0.2 builds people were getting Error 7 if they used the wrong build for the wrong ROM. Here's a link to the 3.0.3 build I've been using that seems to have solved some of thosee issues (at least I haven't hit Error 7 flashing anything), but curiously, nobody links to. The original is probably buried somewhere on the Lenovo Chinese-language forums where you need to sign in & garbage post for 3 weeks to earn enough virtual currency to unlock a download link; this one was posted by lucaam in the zukfans.eu board while replying to someone about the hardware issue where LineageOS builds will mechanically jam something in the zoom/focus/OIS part of the sensor (long story, BEST FIX EVAR - "use my recovery to install rom, open camera, force close camera app, then HIT THE SENSOR SUPER-HARD to pop it loose again so it'll work on stock roms"). Where were we? Oh yeah; TWRP 3.0.3 by those "LR.Team" guys:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazer Bear:
Hey all,

I've got a N7105 (Galaxy Note II LTE) running CM12.1 and TWRP which I was planning to change shortly as it's old and the USB port has issues (charges but doesn't pass data; luckily it has a microsd slot). As it happens, the other day I left it discharge fully and turning it back on left it stuck at Samsung logo (not boot animation, the splash screen before it) forever.

I am: not a noob, I've rooted and flashed plenty of devices before.

I tried: removing battery for a while, charging fully, removing microsd and sim, clearing Cache and Dalvik. Nothing works.

I can: get into ODIN mode (but it's useless as USB data is not working); get into TWRP recovery; explore the Data partition in TWRP

I cannot: mount the System partition in TWRP, not even manually. It just does not let me select it, and gives an error whenever it needs to access it (e.g. if I try to backup it is says Error: unable to mount System)

I want: if possible to solve the issue without formatting Data. I had a TB backup but kinda old, so I got a Nandroid of Data and Boot out from TWRP and I suppose I could then recover stuff extracting from Nandroid through TB, but I've never done it and would rather be able to get a fresh TB backup and move on from there.

A few questions I have: any idea on why I am not able to mount System in TWRP? Could it help to reflash Boot or System, and if so how do I go to do that considering what I have is the whole CM rom package? (I remember being able to fastboot flash single partitions on Nexus devices but that's because the stock rom comes packaged in separate images).

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
The note 2 has this issue that makes it unable to be recognized by PC, so this isn't your phone problem, the only way to solve it is replacing the usb socket in your phone, anyway i can recommend dirty flashing your rom first, just flash the rom in recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache only then reboot.

If that didn't work, I'm afraid you might have to...... clear data ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazer Bear:
Thanks for the input, I was thinking something along those lines but I wasn't totally sure, I always avoided dirty flashing as I heard of people having issues. Happily, it worked! Weirdest think I saw in a while, it gave me a bunch of errors with System partition (unable to mount, unmount, find), then it gave a "proceeding to patch system partition unconditionally", then it completed. The whole thing took less than 20secs so I do not think it even actually flashed the ROM. Now I am just getting some Play Services error, likely need to reinstall gapps, but phone boots just fine!

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] TheLastCanadian:
Hello,

I'm looking to buy this phone. I currently have an Axon 7, but I can potentially return it if I order soon, and this phone is half the price for similar specs.

Therefore, I wish to know a few things, if anyone will oblige:

1. Can people please take some screenshots of the interface? I want to see just how cancerous the skin is. Specifically, I would like to see settings.

2. Can someone get me LxW measurements on the screen please? I thought 5.5 wouldn't be much smaller than six, but it turns out it almost fits on that screen. I love phablets!

2.5. Can somebody run some benchmarks? I'd be particularly interested in seeing The slingshot one from 3dMark.

3. How'd you say the camera is, in your subjective experience?

3.5. As presumably the folks here have followed development fairly closely.... how's it looking for Lineage/CM/Something else close-ish to stock? If video recording is the only issue, I have no problem with that.

4. Anything else I should know?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] appsmarsterx:

All you ask is in youtube.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] TheLastCanadian:
Actually, it isn't, hence why I came here. I know the rules. Look and then ask for help, my annoyance is how often I do and am dismissed out of hand by people who don't realize that several hours of googling for some obscure answers can be otherwise resolved in a few minutes f their kindly donated time with a ruler and some perspective, and that's when Google does actually have something. In this case, I'm confident to say it lacks what I'm interested in knowing in more than superficial detail.

Or at least, 4 hours into YT and written reviews and I have yet to see what I'm asking for. Please, if you're going to tell someone to just google it, make sure it actually will help, and if not, don't waste time with such an answer.

I've seen only the launcher a very quick look at the settings root, and no dropdown for notifications in that time.

As to photos, I trust the people here to be more in my camp in terms of expectations. The cam looks sharp enough.

Nobody has yet listed the screen dimension in anything but the diagonal, and I don't have a good point of reference for that. I also see fairly rampant issues w/ the fp scanner, and id be interested to know whether those have abated.

As to why I would replace an Axon 7 with it... the 7 is $513 cad. The LE Max 2 is $270 cad. 47% cheaper. It's a lot of money to leave on the table if the differences are negligible.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] TheLastCanadian:
Of the phone, not the screen, I want the screen dimensions and I'd rather have avoided having to do algebra to get it. I checked GSMarena already. I did get some of the more obvious things like Benchmarks out of the way, along with photos, but I don't trust the interface to remain the same on a generic branding.... I wanted to see it specifically on this phone, and every review I've found, if they even address such things, only offers brief flash of the root menus.

One thing I would really like to know it's almost certain the reviews don't touch upon.... how is the hitbox for the capacitive buttons? I have a BLU Pure XL too, and those are extremely narrow, it's quite annoying.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] TheLastCanadian:
Well, I bit.

The Axon 7 is nice, but if we're being realistic I mostly just use my phone for web browsing anyway. Paying $513 for that doesn't make much sense when I can get similar specs for $270. We'll see. Worst case scenario I suffer with it for a while and then just buy a flagship when my cheap ass finally learns its lesson.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] valy_cta:
I've been in your camp 1.5 years ago. Coming from Xperia, I said I want to buy a cheap one until a good flagship comes out. And so I bought the Le 1s, a 200$ phone when it just came out. I have to say that I was impressed that I can do whatever I need with it with so much ease, and it doesn't have to cost a kidney.

However, when Le Max2 came out, I ordered it immediately and handed over the 1s to my mom who is still using it without problems as we speak.

The interface is the same, I can tell you that there are no big differences, so if you will google the interface of any LeEco phone, it will be the same as on Max2 as far as I'm concerned.

The screen is a bit bigger than on the 5.5" phones and thus the footprint is taller and wider. Somehow a little difficult to sit with it in the front pocket. I remove it when driving, sitting at the table, most of the times I forget to take it out when I'm putting my shoes on and I do feel it.

Should I ask, why not go for the Pro3 when it has a bigger battery, FHD 5.5" screen, better CPU? The difference between FHD and QHD were tested with a photo taken from a mirrorless camera and it turned out it's very hard to spot the better sharpness on Max2 than on Le 1s.

I would go for the Pro3 now but my dad is yet to get used to touchscreen phones, so I'll keep it a bit more.

Considering the price/ what you get, as of now, I'd still go with LeEco anytime. The thing to keep in mind is to order it 2-3-4 months after release because the price would have dropped significantly.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] TheLastCanadian:
My brother has a OP3T, and while I won't say there's anything inherently wrong with 1080, I can definitely see a difference in images on my 2K Blu Pure XL. I need a phone that has ROMs available, as I really don't trust the Chinese to design a non-garbage OS, and a major part of the allure for the Le Max 2 was the 5.7" screen. I'd have taken just shy of six if I could've gotten it, but alas, some compromises must be made.

It'd also be simple insanity to argue against a $270 price point on a phone that people say isn't inherently flawed (aka: not garbage). The axon 7 costs $513, for services/components I'm unlikely to use (I rarely put anything on phone speakers, and rooting would void their warranty anyway - plus, I take impeccable care of my devices).
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] valy_cta:
Then go for it if you're into a bigger screen. 270 cad will sure be a cheap purchase but I do suggest to go for 4/64 version for few bucks more. I have 4/32 and after transferring some pictures from my camera, keeping some ROMs, apps, having my own pictures in, looks like some 4-5 GB left. I'd have to clean to use multirom :) Also go for the Grey version as the Rose Gold is too pinkish depending upon the light, but it's mostly pink...

To keep it short:

Pros:

- big screen

- sufficient RAM and a very good CPU

- easy to tinker with

- USB C

- Dual SIM

- cheap

- practically unbrickable

Cons:

- somehow twistable up to some extent, but nothing major; you can bend it back with your own hands, and had never been an issue

- quite large for the pocket

- camera could've been better

This is my opinion about the Max2. I would buy it again if you'd ask me :)
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] TheLastCanadian:
Do you know if they make this in a gold (yellow) colour?

I cancelled my order because while the images and colour description said "Golden", their chat reps insisted it would be Rose Gold, which doesn't do it for me.

They do have Gold (as they call it Force Gold) which is like normal yellow version. The other Gold is Rose Gold.
