[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbeweakvato:
Used minimal adb. In recovery with mtp disabled I Pulled /sdcard/TWRP TWRP I had one backup and it successfully pulled because it took like 10 minutes and I watched it progress with zero errors. But I can't find the pulled files in the folder where I had the minimal adb installed. I also have 'show hidden files' on. How can I find the files in Windows 10? Is there something similar to 'disk usage' app but for PC like a file finder. The whole folder size in properties is 3.7 mb so I don't think it's there.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hi... There is a buit-in file search in Windows 10...

I used a nice app on an older laptop which was faster than built-in windows 7 search, but i don't feel like it's usefull anymore on the new one which has a fast SSD... I give you a link if you want to try it though:

http://voidtools.com/

There's a portable version if you just want to try it...

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] HungNgocPhat:
Hi, I'm a Zenfone 2 user and I planning to move to P9 lite. I have a few questions to ask

First, how much SoT do you usually get with daily task?

Sencond, is there any difference between P9 lite variants? Does a custom rom is specify for only one variant or all variants?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] danerrickcuba@gmail.com:
SoT will obviously depend on how what type of applications used and frequency, but I normally average 5h30-6hrs streaming live games, internet browsing at LTE/4G speeds,I barely listen to music on the device but this should not consume too much power, battery is absolutely perfect for me, and I'm running beta android NOUGAT B336,VNS-L31, look below for screen shots.

This is screen off over night or deep sleep consumption, less than 1% drain over 7 hrs and 30 minutes(22h31-06h01..look at the graph below), the SoT is 6hrs+ usually as you see below...and finally as you notice, the device was last charged 23 hours and 48 minutes before getting to a 4%.

Concerning different models:

There are those with 3gb or 2g , with 16gb or 32gb internal storage, all support external_sd up to 128gb.

Each model obviously has it's own ROM, it be custom or stock...make sure you'll install what is meant for your device model.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] HungNgocPhat:
Can I ask one more question? Could you tell me which model of P9 Lite have these specs? 5.2" AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 650, 3GB of RAM, 16GB storage, 2500mAh battery. It seems to have a great difference compared to the model on Huawei's website
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] simo255:
This is i think the Chinese version, it doesn't have a kirin soc, so you can't flash roms/recoveries etc..

I suggest you to buy a vns-l31 version (3gb of ram) or vns-l21 (2gb o ram) which it has a lot of roms like rr or lineageos 14.1 or aospa :)
[General Questions and Answers] Bobdomtom:
Hi

I recently bought a Blackview bv6000. It came with Android 7.0 installed (the Blackview version anyway). Can anyone tell me how to get the microphone key for voice typing to appear on the AOSP stock standard Android keyboard?

I have enabled google voice typing but can't get the microphone key (voice input key) to appear on my android 7.0 AOSP keyboard.

I've gone through all the settings in ' Language and Input ' with no luck. Very frustrating. Blackview doesn't answer their emails so I'm at a loss.

How do I make it appear?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Bobdomtom:
Nobody knows the answer to this?

[General Questions and Answers] dontknowme:
Install GBoard and Google Search, I believe you need use GBoard (or some other keyboard such as SwiftKey) for voice typing.
[General Questions and Answers] Bobdomtom:
I agree that Swift does show the microphone. But I'm specifically trying to determine why the microphone doesn't show up on the already installed AOSP Android keyboard?

In other words, there is no possibility of voice typing using the standard keyboard for this phone.

Doesn't seem right.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If you are rooted you should be able to swap the files using ADB

http://www.droidviews.com/push-pull-files-android-using-adb-commands/

Good luck!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
The problem with guides like this is they all have that step that says "First, you must enable USB Debugging" - which requires USB access to my phone to do. Granted, it is already enabled because I had to enable it during the process of changing out my startup image - but that makes me think it needs access to a connected device in order to work properly. And I cannot connect to my device when it locks up before booting. Whenever I try to utilize an adb command, it returns the message "error: device (null) not found."

So, I guess my question is - is it still possible to use commands like these when my phone cannot boot up and give USB access to adb?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
I am beginning to lose faith in there being an option to solve this problem without just performing a factory reset, and losing all of my data. :( If I were to take this route, can I just use my phone's built-in option? By holding the correct keys, and then choosing to wipe all my data and return to stock?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If your screen is blank it is difficult to see if the phone is asking permission to allow the USB connection. That is most likely the problem. If you have a custom recovery on your phone you may be able to flash a ROM of the same Android version and not lose your data.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
I'm pretty sure I do not have a custom recovery thing installed. I do not remember installing one. I simply installed a "one click root" thing via an APK file, and once that was installed, I went into my /system/media folder and renamed my bootanimation.zip file to boonanimation.zip.backup, and then put in the new (bad/incompatible) bootanimation.zip file. Those were the only steps I performed. Since it appears I will not be able to use ADB to "pull" this bad file out, and most likely will have to wipe everything and go back to stock - can I just use the built in "factory reset" option that came with my phone (by holding the volume up + power keys at the same time)? Will this just wipe everything and put my phone back to how it was when it was brand new?

Very sorry to bug you guys with all of this. I feel like such a goofball. I just wish I could get everything back to normal :(

Thank you guys very much for your help. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Making Progress?

Okay guys. I think I may have some good news. After a LOT of fiddling around, I managed to get ADB to see my device! When I use the "adb devices" command, it finally returns my phone's address. That's the good news.

The bad news is, upon the suggestion of a forum member, I attempted to use the "adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip" command to try and yank the bad file out of my system folder. It ended up pulling the entire /system/media/audio folder (and all files contained within), as well as bootanimation.zip, bootanimation.zip.backup (the original file that I turned into a backup), and shutdownanimation.zip. All of those files are now sitting in my adb folder (waiting to be put back in their spots if I can ever get back on my phone). The problem is, it didn't solve the problem. When I power on the phone, it still quickly flashes the incompatible image before going to the same blank screen. :(

So, I think I have made some progress. But unfortunately, the pull command did not solve the problem. Now that ADB is able to see my device, is there more that I can do? What would you guys recommend I do next in order to try and solve this issue?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Type the following commands

adb shell

$ bootanimation stop

OR

adb shell

$ su

# rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip

#mv /system/media/bootanimation.zip.backup bootanimation.zip

This might work if shell has root privileges only though ...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Hi karandpr! Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, no luck yet.

I can get into the "adb shell" just fine. However, when I type "bootanimation stop" it returns "/system/bin/sh: bootanimation: not found." And when I issue the "su" command, it puts me into the root access thing where it says "root@G2:/ #" - but then I am unable to type anything here. I am presuming this is because it is probably asking my phone for SU Permission, only I am not able to Accept it because of my blank screen. :(

I'm stumped again! I do feel like I'm getting closer to fixing it, though. I just hope these aren't.... false hopes.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Do you have monitor.bat in the adb folder ?

You can see your device connected.

use the screen capture option and see if the screen is replicated on your device.

can you try this command .

adb push bootanimation.zip.backup /system/media/bootanimation.zip

also while you can use adb pull to pull all your user data ...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
I do not see monitor.bat in the adb folder.

And when I try the push command, I get "failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': Read-only file system" - and I think I remember encounting this on another guide as well. The problem lies when trying to use the adb shell and the "su" command to mount the system drive as read+write. I get to the point where I have root access, but an unable to type the mount command because I think it is asking my phone for SU permission, and I am unable to grant it permission. Ugh! So close yet so far - and still so frustrating! You are awesome for taking the time to help me, though! Is there some way I can credit you to show my appreciation?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Get the full android tools from here.

https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.3-windows.zip

monitor.bat should be in tools folder after you extract them.

Quick question: Does your adb work again if you reboot phone ?

if your adb works after a reboot then can you run this command and see if screen lights up

adb shell stop
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Okay, I am downloading those tools and will install them shortly. I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "work again if I reboot my phone?" Could you be a little bit more specific for my newbie mind? I apologize for sucking at this! Lol :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Lets say your adb is working now.

You remove the battery and start the phone again.

Will you be still able to access adb or not ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Yeah, I believe so. For example: I power it on and let it flash the incompatible image resulting in the blank screen. Then I perform an "adb devices" check and it returns my Phone ID. Then I hold power down until the phone resets, and displays the bad image again resulting in a blank screen. I then perform another "adb devices" check and it still returns my Phone ID. If that is what you were checking for, then yes, it appears to continue working after a reboot. :)

Also - my download of those tools is complete. I have unzipped the Tools folder to my desktop. Would it be okay to copy the entire contents over to my adb directory? Or is that a bad idea?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Open that folder in desktop

the go to tools folder and you will see monitor.bat

Just run it

on a side note

run

adb shell stop

and see what happens
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Alright. When I run "Monitor.bat" it pops up a window asking me to "Provide the path to the Android SDK" - What shall I enter here?

And regarding the "adb shell stop" command - when should I enter that? Just right now, while it's sitting on the blank screen?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
yes right now when sitting on blank screen ...

The path to android sdk is path to desktop where you extracted the folder ...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Okay. After running the "adb shell stop" command - it appeared that nothing happened. It just went back to the standard "C:\adb>" line.

And after pointing Monitor to my desktop/tools folder, it said that wasn't a valid path. So I searched my computer for "sdk" and it found a folder with that label in Users/AppData/Local/Android/sdk - so I pointed it to that. After doing this, it ran and showed my device in the column to the left, but at the bottom it said it could not connect, and kept trying saying "Attempt 1 (Failed)... Attempt 2 (Failed).. etc..." - so I closed it, and then closed all of my other windows (including my ADB command prompt) in case any of those would be causing a conflict. And now upon re-opening it, it longer lists my device in that column on the left. Just my luck - I already broke it. :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Try rebooting phone ....

If you get android shell again

do

adb shell

$ stop

$ start
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Darn. That didn't appear to do anything either. And after it didn't work, I tried again, but I issued an "adb devices" command after the "stop" command, and it no longer listed my Device ID. And then I issued another "start" command, and "adb devices" still did not list my device ID. To get my device ID back, I had to close the command prompt and re-open it. Then "adb devices" was able to find my Device ID again.

Edited to add: I don't have to include the "$" symbols myself, do I? I have been omitting those and only typing the words, since the command prompt has been putting the "$" symbols in there for me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
No you dont have to type the $ symbols yourself.

What did you use to root phone ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
It was called "KingRoot." And I know it has somewhat of an "iffy" reputation based on the fact that it was developed by a Chinese company and people are a bit concerned with some of the data it collects. However, they had several options listed for rooting, and not only was it the very last one I tried, but it happened to be the ONLY one that worked. Before using KingRoot, I attempted to root using iRoot/vRoot, TowelRoot, ioRoot, and another one I forgot the name of. None of those worked, and I actually thought I wasn't going to be able to root at all, but then the very last one (KingRoot) ended up working properly. Thankfully I do not use my phone for anything that uses serious personal information (such as personal passwords and/or CC info, etc). I use my fiance's (highly secure) PC for those types of things.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
The desktop application or mobile one ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
The mobile one. I just downloaded the APK file, then installed it from my phone's download folder. It was actually very quick and easy. I was surprised when it worked with such little effort, after all of those other methods failed.

Edited to add: After I found out that people were a little bit concerned with KingRoot, I found a post here on XDA where a user suggested I download an app called "Super SU-Me" which is used to replace the KingRoot Super User thingy with the popular SuperSU one. So I'm not sure if that removes KingRoot entirely or what, but shortly before I replaced my bootanimation.zip and got locked out of my phone, I had done that switch-over to SuperSU. My apologies - I had forgotten about that until now.

Second Edit to Ask: Now that ADB is able to recognize my device again, would it be easy and/or sufficient to use LG Flash Tool to flash this TWRP thing onto my phone? And then, perhaps, I could use that to flash a working/stock bootanimation.zip into my system folder?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
can you type

adb reboot bootloader

/*Phone will reboot */

wait for sometime

fastboot devices

It will good if you can flash twrp.

You can then access rooted shell from twrp..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Gosh dang-it. When I typed "adb reboot bootloader" it did reboot my phone. However, when I typed "fastboot devices" - nothing happened. It just put me back onto the "c:\adb>" line.

Am I out of luck again? :(

Edit to add: On the bright side, [MENTION=3125148]KennyG123[/MENTION] just told me that you are an absolute Wizard when it comes to LG G2 phones, and that I am in the best helping hands possible right now. So that makes me feel a little bit more comfortable. :)

Second Edit: Do you think I should try flashing the TWRP thing by using the ADB method in this guide? - https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/ - The only problem is, if my "fastboot devices" command did not work, that means this method will probably not work either? It says my bootloader must be unlocked, and I am not sure if it is - nor do I know how to check.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Truth to be told ,this might be a catch-22 situation.

You cannot proceed further because you have not given adb shell root privileges or adb root doesnt work.

And you cannot give root privileges cos you cannot see the phone.

Can you run

adb shell mount

and paste the output

I suppose you should back your device since ,you might have to flash stock firmware. It's good if your pics and other stuff are backed up.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
adb pull /userdata

followed by

adb pull /sdcard

should do the trick ...

Sit back and relax since it will take some time ....

and perhaps regret the life choices .....(Did the same thing when I bricked my first phone)

If you haven't unlocked bootloader then it's already locked especially if it's verizon. ..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Uh oh. When I do "adb pull /userdata" it says "remote object 'userdata' does not exist" Whyyy? And yes, believe me. I highly regret it! If I get this fixed, I will not be messing with it anymore!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Can you try to use KingoRoot desktop application again to root your phone ?

It's alright if atleast /sdcard is backed up

/userdata might not be accessible due to lack of root.

Actually the first thing I do when I root is to give terminal root privileges so I can tinker later.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
When I run KingoRoot, it says "Please Enable USB Debugging" - even though I had it enabled before soft brick. Do you think it's another situation where it's asking for permission, and I am unable to accept?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Perhaps the desktop application payloads the apk in the phone and yes ,perhaps because you are not able to accept the changes.

just backup /sdcard and then try to flash stock firmware from download mode.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Hmmm. Strange. KingoRoot eventually let me in. Now I clicked "Root" but it's stuck on "Waiting for Device"

And, I know this is going to be a newbie question, but does "flash stock firmware from download mode" mean to use the LG Flash Tool and the KDZ file? From This Thread? Sorry. I know how to get into download mode, but that is all I know. Every time I have gone into it, it goes to a "Firmware Update" screen - and just sits on 0%.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Yeah , thats the thread .... Which windows are you working on ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
I am on Windows 10.

(And for the record, KingoRoot seems to be.. working.. I think? It's at 79% and going quite slowly. The APK method was MUCH faster than this)

Edited to Ask: And will I need to unlock my bootloader (with the "fastboot oem unlock" command I just read about while searching on bootloader unlocking) in order to flash the stock KDZ file thing?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
No I dont think you need to unlock bootloader.

I believe windows 10 blocks some LG drivers from working properly.

Usually you should flash from windows 7.

For windows 10 , you need to disable signature verification for drivers ,I believe.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
Alright. KingoRoot said it is finished. However, I am still getting:

C:\adb>adb pull /userdata

remote object '/userdata' does not exist

So, do you think I should try flashing TWRP using the "Install via ADB" method on this "Install TWRP Recovery" guide? Or should I just go straight to flashing back to stock? And which drivers do I need to disable signature verification for?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karandpr:
Not really

Try using the command
